Fever, cough, congestion, facial swelling, redness or swelling around eyes and heavy pressure on face are the symptoms associated with sinusitis. Sometimes it becomes difficult to distinguish whether it is cold, flu or sinusitis. Normally cold gets better within some days itself whereas sinusitis is the infection in the nasal passage, it results in the inflammation of sinus (small cavities found in the facial bones). So it is mandatory to visit your doctors because it may lead to some serious health complications like nasal tumors and cystic fibrosis.
Inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses is called as sinusitis. Various bacteria, viruses, and fungi are responsible for this disease. Naturally sinuses are filled with air but in this disease sinuses are blocked and filled with various germs and fluids. These microbes grow and result in infections.
ACUTE SINUSITIS - Acute sinusitis usually last for 4 weeks. Various symptoms of this type are cold, facial pain and stuffy nose.
SUB-ACUTE SINUSITIS - In sub-acute sinusitis inflammation and underlying symptoms lasts for 4 to 8 weeks.
CHRONIC SINUSITIS - In chronic sinusitis all the symptoms and inflammation last for more than 8 weeks.
RECCURENT SINUSITIS - It is a type of sinusitis in which various attacks occur within a year.
Other causes may include allergies, nasal polyp, nasal tumors, deviated nasal septum, tooth infections and various other medical conditions.
GERD or immune system disorders, cystic fibrosis.
"PEENAS" is ayurvedic term mentioned for sinusitis. Nasal cavity is called shirodwar the entry point to brain and is important for proper functioning of brain. Shoth (Obstruction) to this pathway is called sinusitis (peenasroga). Excessive intake of heavy, oily, spicy, very cold and very hot foods, which are not easy to digest. All this causes impairment of tridosha (vata, pitta and kapha) in body. Main dosha responsible for this roga is kapha and aggravation of kapha dosha blocks the passage of vata in nasal cavity. Imbalanced pitta causes inflammation (shoth) in nasal cavity. Many environmental and lifestyle factors are also responsible to for this roga like cold, dusty weather, sleeping in day and late night awakening.
Ayurveda has become the new ray of hope to manage the various health ailments in a natural way without any side effects. Ayurveda is science of life and works on this belief that herbs have the amazing properties to manage the health issues without having any negative impacts on body. To manage the problem of sinusitis there are various herbs like Haridra (Curcuma longa), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Shirisha (Albizzia lebbeck), Aswagandha (Withania sominefera) and Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) which are very useful and give positive results on body.

Local entrepreneur says 'user friendly' INBiz made small business launch easier

NOW: Local entrepreneur says 'user friendly' INBiz made small business launch easier
SOUTH BEND, Ind.—Indiana business portal, INBiz, has helped small businesses with tasks such as registering a business's name to filing required paperwork since 2016.
One of those businesses, Bantam Diner, believes the service made the process of a launching a new business a bit more simple.
"We just went online and it was a simple step and just go online, go to inbiz and type in your information for your business and what you would like to do, it's just very straight forward and easy to do and no hassle about it and very user friendly I think anyone can do it," said Donte Shaw, Bantam Diner owner and chef.
Shaw, originally from the East Chicago/ Gary area, started as a line cook 17 years ago.
He never attended culinary school, instead training under chefs he worked with.
In June, Shaw started as a line cook at L Street Kitchen, located at 131 South Lafayette Boulevard in downtown South Bend.
"The owner of L Street Kitchen was opening it up and asked me to come on board to help so I was working at the Exchange, and he gave me the opportunity to do a popup at night," Shaw said.
Bantam Diner opened its doors in November as an extended pop up restaurant, using L Street Kitchen's space during the evening hours.
The "fine diner" is open during the evenings, from 4:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. while L Street Kitchen serves food during the day.
"Opening up a restaurant or operating a business, go ahead and give it a try. The one thing about it though is that we need to use more resources around us. When it comes to young entrepreneurs, that's what downtown South Bend is looking for," Shaw said.
INBiz provides Indiana business owners with a one-stop place for connecting with government offices, staying up to date on reporting requirements, remaining in compliance with state law.
For example, the Attorney General's unclaimed property reporting requirement was placed on INBiz in 2018 and to date, has a nearly additional $40 million in revenue
When residents began calling INBiz with questions such as "What business should I form, an LLC or LLP?" which is legal advice the service could not provide, the service decided to adapt itself.
This need led to INBiz partnering with the Indiana Small Business Development Center (ISBDC) to provide Indiana business owners hoping to launch or grow their business with free advice.
SBDC provides Indiana entrepreneurs with guidance and resources such as strategy development, market research, business planning, export assistance and valuation.
"I will most definitely be using the service in the future," Shaw said.
In 2018, Indiana SBDC assisted 310 new businesses start, which led to the creation of 1,240 jobs. They hopes to increase this assistance in 2019.

Sam teaches sixth grade English and Abby is a paraprofessional and is beginning grad school. In my free time I enjoy reading, antiquing, and decorating. I began teaching at NMP because my youngest daughter, Abby was enrolled in the 4's program at the time. The schedule allowed me to be available for my daughters and allowed me the time to volunteer at their schools. NMP always had an excellent reputation and I was proud to be a part of it. Teaching was not my original intention but has turned out to very fulfilling. I have amazing co-workers and I feel very blessed to do what I do.

In a hospital, the well-being of patients has top priority. In order to ensure this, medical, sterile and food supplies must be provided quickly and efficiently. Every day in the hospital therefore requires a logistical masterpiece. Digital solutions and automated technologies are particularly useful for storing, ordering, transporting and disposing various products. By networking the respective areas – from the pharmacy to the kitchen – all processes in the hospital can be optimally managed. Find out more in our Topic of the Month.
During a visit to the hospital, patients naturally expect to receive comprehensive care. Not only does this include the proper treatment, but also a hospital bed and regular meals for example. Patients typically don't ask about the transport logistics this entails for the hospital. They are also rarely interested in what happens to any surgical or hazardous waste – maybe that's because they feel uncomfortable about asking or perhaps they are simply not interested.
Medical supply distribution, supplying operating rooms with sterile instrument kits, the provision of food and catering services for patients – these are some of the around-the-clock care processes at a hospital. Efficient logistics are crucial to guarantee smooth processes. All of these pieces ultimately come together at the hospital's in-house logistics center. Many factors affect the planning and organization of this type of facility.

A city's efficiency depends on its infrastructure. To supply trade, production, the service industry and private households for the future requires solutions which are smart, sustainable and cost-effective. Therefore, a flexible trip optimisation is essential.
Speed in spite of urban restrictions, a transparent supply chain network and monitored accuracy around place and time are the most important factors for conquering the last mile. Those who use innovative ideas have the opportunity to position themselves successfully. The deciding factors in this are sustainable solutions with a unique combination of maximum speed, service quality, cost efficiency and environmental aspects.
Both clean and efficient? "There's no contradiction", believes Möller. "Our PTV Map&Guide route planner provides a precise and comprehensive foundation for calculations, taking into account a wide range of parameters." For example, vehicle profiles serve as the basis for detailed emissions calculation. "The reports help to localise unnecessary emissions and, as a result, to avoid them – a significant competitive advantage for players in the urban logistics sector", Möller confirms. Transport cost calculations per kilometre an hour and detailed toll, staff and minimum wage calculations provide figures which can help with assessment of logistical processes.
"Customers' speed and reliability requirements are increasing. This is felt primarily by transport service providers who need to respond with a high degree of flexibility", says Möller. "Our PTV Smartour trip planning software lets you look at trips which are already underway, make retroactive changes and flexibly incorporate additional or amended orders into planning." This makes same-day delivery and planning the last few miles a realistic possibility – taking into account all urban restrictions, time slots and capacity.
The cloud-based service PTV Drive&Arrive provides its users with information on the expected time of arrival (ETA). Precise notification of deliveries is particularly important in a central urban context. With PTV Drive&Arrive, it is very easy to put notification message services in place, which inform the recipient about the goods' arrival in advance. The service also takes into account opening hours at the trip stop and amends the expected arrival time accordingly. "It's not just an advantage for the recipient of the goods, who can plan around the delivery: it reduces the number of unannounced lorries blocking access points. The time needed for delivery is also reduced, it is possible to have more stops on a trip and customer service improves overall", sums up Möller.
The PTV Group is once again showing that it is at the forefront of innovation, with the development of a universal telematics interface. "It lets us offer our customers an out-of-the-box solution that, once installed, is compatible with the existing system landscapes without any further adaptations", explains Möller, continuing: "In future, we will be able to bring every customer solution that we are connecting to the interface onto our platform, too." The system supports over 140 fleet management systems.

This list was compiled by the BBC, and they expect the average person to have read about 6 of these.
Copy into a new note Put an X next to the ones you've read. Include the number you have read in the headline and tag your friends!
67 Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy.
a) Way too much Dickens and Austen here. 10 of 100 from just those 2? Ridiculous.
b) There should have been some "something by" - I've read Hunchback, not Les Mis. That should count for something. Also, I've read a lot of Dostoevsky, but only C&P is on the list (even though The Brothers Karamazov is, IMHO, the greatest novel ever written). Lord, I've tried reading Tolstoy several times. Can't get through more than 10 pages. As Emo Phillips said: "There's nothing like curling up in front of a fire with a copy of Tolstoy's War and Peace. Y'know, a thick book like that can feed a fire for hours". Especially prodigious authors, like Shakespeare, should get categories - have you read at least one Shakespearean comedy? Tragedy? History? It the Chocolate Factory really that much more edifying than the Great Glass Elevator?
c) No Mark Twain? A shonda. I can live with no Arthur Miller.
d) Alex Haley should be on the list, if for no other reason than the cultural importance of his books. Either Roots or The Autobiography of Malcolm X should be on the list. The FOuntainhead should be on the list for the same reason.
e) I'm probably defining "the Bible" differently than the compilers of the list.
f) I do not count it if I only saw the movie.
g) I do count it even if I only read it as part of my formal schooling and didn't like it.
h) My wife has read 49 of these titles. That's impressive.

This year's conference titled Positive Dairying: Winning in the global marketplace takes place at the national Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham and is organised in partnership by OMSCo and Farm Business.
At the conference keynote speaker Sean Rickard will be talking about global dairy trends, and questioning where the world market is taking us, and where that will leave British dairy farmers. There will be particular emphasis on returns and 'fair' pricing, and a close look at what opportunities the overseas market will offer producers in the years ahead.
Leading technical speakers will also provide practical advice for farmers on how to play to win in the global market. For example, Jo Scammel, independent agricultural advisor and Nuffield Scholar, will talk about how to improve livestock health and performance through healthy forages, produced by healthy soils. And organic farmer and Nuffield Scholar Wil Armitage, who runs a 350-head autumn calving herd and a 250-head spring calving herd in Leicestershire and Rutland, will share his practical experiences on getting the most out of his key natural resource.
The conference is free to attend however, places are limited. Register your attendance at the OMSCo website.

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a medical condition in which a person's kidneys cease functioning on a permanent basis leading to the need for a regular course of long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain life. Beneficiaries may become entitled to Medicare based on ESRD.† Left untreated, CKD can develop into end stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires constant treatment known as dialysis therapy.
This therapy involves artificially cleaning wastes from the blood with special medical equipment. Another treatment option for individuals with ESRD is kidney transplantation.The transition from management of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) to that of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requires the nephrologist to have a clear understanding of the disease trajectory in the individual patient and to function as a teacher for the patient and members of the patient's family, as well as for their professional and.

Heat Pumps don't last forever. In fact, the average life expectancy of a heat pump unit is about 10 to 15 years, with regular maintenance. Whether you've recently moved into an older home or have had the same unit for more than 10 years, it is possibly nearing the end of its life span. If you think you may need a new heat pump for your Houston home, here's a few signs to look for.
One of the most telltale signs of a failing heat pump is constant repairs. This doesn't include annual maintenance, but rather repeated repair bills for the same part of the unit or a different part each time. At some point, these bills can add up, and purchasing a new air conditioner actually becomes a more fiscally responsible decision.
Although it's important for your home's air quality to have about 40 percent relative humidity, more than that could be a sign of a failing heat pump. This means your air conditioner isn't properly cooling the air, and withdrawing the humidity that could lead to more menacing problems such as mold and dust mites.
The No. 1 sign of a failing heat pump is high energy bills, regardless of how much you use the unit. This means your HVAC system is running constantly, but without providing the cooling power it once did. While this sometimes is the result of leaks in the ductwork or the need for additional refrigerant, it's more often the aftermath of a poorly functioning heat pump.
Like many other mechanical machines, excessive noise is a sign the heat pump isn't working properly. There's also a chance your ductwork isn't compatible with the current system. In this case, getting a new heat pump is actually more cost-effective than replacing the actual ductwork.
Buying a new heat pump is an important financial decision. If you find your heat pump is suffering from any of these symptoms, call the professionals at Davis AC today. They'll diagnose any problems and provide great advice to the correct course of action. Contact them today at 888-710-5530.

Wrap Winter Up In Kindness
August 1, 2019 By editor
The Craft Corner's annual Knit and Natter event was once again wrapped in love last Thursday with more than 30 women taking part.
Women from Parkes and Peak Hill knit and crochet hundreds of squares to create rugs. According to Craft Corner President Margaret Tanner they have been taking part in the annual Wrap with Love initiative since 2008.
"We've had a wonderful response from our members and just people walking in off the street with finished squares to donate," said Margaret.
Wrap with Love, a registered charity, reaches more than 30,000 people each year in Australia and around the world.
A contingent of 20 women from Orange joined in again for encouragement and support. The group regularly meets at the Orange Library and collects all the squares from the region to send on to Sydney for further distribution in Australia and around the world.
"It is wonderful what you do for us," said the Orange group leader Dianne Percy.
"We greatly appreciated your effort." She said last year they ended up making 606 rugs, and hoped to get close to that number again this year.
Margaret said the efforts of everyone to help make rugs tied in beautifully with the annual Kind July campaign encouraging the community to engage in an act of kindness every day. "We have so many acts of kindness in the Craft Corner every day."

Listen to Makonnen's infectious "Since 17."
iLoveMakonnen hasn't released much music since he moved to Portland, Oregon in September. He explained his decision to move to the Pacific Northwest in an interview with Willamette Week that ran last month. "I just really wanted to get away from the city, but still be kind of in a city." This was my No. 1 choice."
Early Tuesday morning, he posted three songs to his SoundCloud, then deleted all of them but "SINCE 17." Makonnen explains why 17 is a number of significance, leveraging his confident stream-of-consciousness rapping style over girthy 808-driven drums and a mesmerizing synth melody that vaguely recalls the Portlandia theme song. This is Makonnen at his best right now, or close to it.
Listen to "SINCE 17" and revisit Makonnen's 2016 HNHH digital cover.


Morán FE, Macro-Noales E, Escrich A, Barbé S, López MM. Biodiversity and Biogeography of Three Pseudomonas Syringae Pathovars which Affect Kiwi Fruit Cultivation. Biodiversity Online J .1(1). BOJ.000503. 2018.
Kiwi fruit is an economically important crop in several countries and it can be affected by several bacterial pathogens. Three pathovars of Pseudomonas syringae have been reported affecting kiwi fruit plants: Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae causal agent of bacterial canker of kiwi fruit; P. syringae pv. actinidifoliorum, causal agent of leaf spot of kiwi fruit, and P. syringae, pv. syringae causal agent of floral buds necrosis. Since there is a high phenotypic and genetic diversity among strains inside these pathovars here are briefly described the main differences found in the kiwi fruit strains of these three pathovars to help in developing preventive and curative control strategies to efficiently manage the bacterial diseases that affect kiwi fruit.


I often get students who come to class and afterwards, they start speaking poorly of themselves. "Why can't I fold forward? My belly is too big. I'm fat." Then I remind them to think back. "Remember when you took your very first yoga class? Look at where you are now?" I remind them yoga is a practice, but it's also little steps towards something more. It's also a dedication, so you must step onto your yoga mat whole hearted.
Sometimes it's not about getting into an advance pose. It's really what you need out of a practice. Is it a space to breathe? Is it something you're holding onto emotionally that's toxic? What do you need in your practice?
We get caught up in competition within ourselves. We look around. We get caught up. Once you find yourself doing that, take a moment in child's pose. Breathe. Was this your intention coming into the practice?
Always come back to why you came to yoga class. It's cool to get into advanced postures, but get what you need. In time, you'll find yourself there when you least expect it. Your body will tell you when you're ready. Keep your chin up. Keep a positive perspective. An attitude of gratitude. Dedication to make time to practice. You'll find a more enjoyable practice each time you approach yoga this way.

Controlling Cognitive Domains
Joanne Patti Munisteri
What is now categorized as the "cognitive domain" includes areas of influence in all sectors of society. Cognitive domain(s) should not be restricted to influence and information operations, social engineering and 'winning hearts and minds' approaches, but expanded to include all areas where ideological attacks are possible.
"The cognitive war is a mostly hidden war, because it rarely involves direct confrontation or kinetic action. It involves a war of ideologies. If we fail to not only counter punch in this domain but build a sustained and proactive foundation to advance in the cognitive domain, we will have no other option then an eventual kinetic conflict. Kinetic capabilities can dictate an outcome but sustained long-term outcomes will remain solely dependent upon the ability to influence, affect, change, or impact the cognitive domain."
For this article I will concentrate on China's reach which is masterful and extensive. Seemingly unrelated infiltration, one sided trade battles, cyber hacks and data sweeps in historically soft target sectors have exponentially extended China's domination of cognitive domains globally, and within the United States specifically. Let's examine five of their mission creeps and reach back areas of operation.
Placing their government operated Confucius Institutes in higher education and sponsoring Confucius Institute culture clubs in American high schools, China is using these programs to infiltrate American colleges in a bid to both recruit spies and to indoctrinate students to advocate for positions favorable to China. The Chinese government generously funds thousands of students to study in the USA and other western nations. Yu Minhong, founder and chief executive of the New Oriental Education and Technology Group and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's National Committee estimates that the number of Chinese studying abroad each year will peak at between 700,000 and 800,000.
China's 'Squirrel AI' program is a formidable competitor and innovator in online education. In recent years, China has rushed to develop and implement what they label as 'intelligent education'. China now has a billion dollar ed tech industry which includes companies (all companies owned by the Chinese government) like Alo 7 and Squirrel, which are exporting their 'vision' and products overseas including to the United States. These online 'education platforms; gather data from their clients/students and 'tailor' lessons and elements of lessons to improve performance for each of their clients/students. We need to ask ourselves and the education community-"Do we want the Chinese government and their artificial intelligence programs (AI) to be collecting and serving data and meta data to American children in their formative years?"
Entertainment/Media/Information Operations
Most people will not know about the courageous act of Chinese journalist, Gao Yu who in 2015 (as a 70-year-old woman) was sentenced to seven years in China for publishing the leaked internal Chinese government's 'Document Nine'.
"Document Nine can be read as a map of the ruling Communist Party's anxieties as it pursues its global ambitions; it reads as an early signal of what is fast becoming a global battle of ideas." The document urged vigilance against the 'infiltration' of those dangerous, foreign ideas; today, as China's global ambitions grow, it is increasingly taking the battle to the source, deploying its formidable economic resources and political muscle to challenge ideas and shape perceptions in the campuses, the communities and the media of the west, and using its weight to bring states and corporations into line with state propaganda.
China has been buying shares in major film and production studios in the USA and UK for over a decade. The Chinese government purchased the AMC movie theatres while creating English media channels including 24/7 news worldwide.
Like the USA, China is using sexual subliminal and shock programming to distract, distort, divide and disable the American population while inserting Chinese figures, icons and "values" into scripts and screens.
Chinese owned studios and cinemas have already exerted censorship influence on major motion pictures including removing any Taiwanese, Japanese or Hong Kong symbols (new 'Top Gun' movie) and changing the nationality of the "enemy" figures (Red Dawn 2012) stirring up division using Hollywood to mix cultural icons erasing the "white man as hero" and encouraging confusion and polarization within 'western' societies. This is a textbook communist tactic.
Concurrently the Chinese government highlights seven major threats to their communist based control of society. All of these 'threats' being fundamental rights and foundations for western republics and democratic rules of law. The Chinese government aims directly at steering the cognitive domain in their direction utilizing all forms of media already in their targeted countries.
Finance-Financial Sectors
These sectors, as components of the cognitive domain/cognitive war are crucial but often overlooked in political and military decision-making or are not integrated into essential strategies for achieving dominance. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (#1) The China Construction Bank (#3) The Agricultural Bank of China (#4) occupy three of the top five positions of banking global dominance as of the first quarter of 2019. U.S. capital markets are drastically increasing their holdings of Chinese companies, giving Beijing massive leverage inside the United States and posing huge risks to U.S. investors and the U.S. economy. "This practice transfers billions of dollars out of the United States and into China, while also placing U.S. investors in the position of gambling their economic futures on Chinese companies that are beyond the reach of U.S. government oversight and accountability."
'Trade Wars" are part of the non-kinetic battles which have in the past, ignited kinetic wars, which is why negotiations to prevent escalation are so important. The considered use of sanctions, tariffs, and/or the 'most favored nation' status can mitigate economic aggression while de-escalating the possibility of military aggression. Trade deals are part of the cognitive domain games. China currently, is continuing its "non-compliance" game in terms of sanctions against Iran. "In what appears to be a gesture of contempt for Washington, Chinese companies have continued to import Iranian crude, but instead of reporting the crude imports, which would violate US sanctions, they're storing the oil in bonded storage tanks situated at Chinese ports."
By studying the health patterns, medical conditions and medications needed in a population, China can accurately assess vulnerabilities, deliberately market to these companies and citizens or manufacture "shortages" of essential drugs, especially prescription drugs for psychiatric and chronic conditions. This is a whole other realm of the cognitive domain. Chinese cyber criminals were caught but only after hacking into medical records, pharmaceutical company research and development documents, and technical data from Anthem company. Anthem is considered a health care "giant" in North America.
It should also be noted that the Chinese are using the same social engineering and mind control techniques which were created and refined by the UK and the USA since World War I in specialized institutes -Tavistock Institute Network, Stanford Institute, the Frankfurt School, Macy Foundation, Psi-Tech-to name a few of these privately run but government funded organizations. The Chinese government does not place the same restrictions or requirements on human subject testing and informed consent. They are advancing in CRISPR and now LEADER gene editing techniques, monitoring technology and copying the most advanced neuroprosthetics/enhancements. China and India are among the leading countries that are contributing major shares in the neuroprosthetics market in the Asia Pacific.
Enhancing human capabilities neurologically and otherwise raises a nation's population's capabilities. The military capabilities (think super soldiers-enhanced human beings) if employed on a mass scale have the potential to alter the entire 'battlefield' of the cognitive domain.
Security/Surveillance Industries
In July 2017, The National Sentinel reported that a Chinese dissident says Beijing had as many as 25,000 spies in the U.S. Guo Wengui, a billionaire businessman who broke with the Communist government several months prior, said China had infiltrated America's most critical military and defense infrastructure and is threatening our country. Conventionally, the cognitive domain fights are waged in this realm. The increase in AI (artificial intelligence capabilities) by Chinese companies extends the radius of influence operations. Deep fakes, Voice Clones, and biometric surveillance systems created by American companies but utilized by the Chinese government, are two edged swords.
Fake news will become an increasing challenge. We should be concerned about the type of mimicry that today's Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is producing. Researchers have already developed deep learning AI that can superimpose one person's face on another person's body. The Chinese search giant Baidu constructed an AI they claim can learn to accurately mimic your voice with 'DeepVoice 2' — based on less than a minute's worth of listening to the original voices. The implications of using this technology to gather information, deceive and infiltrate various levels of society, social media, government and military departments using 'stealth' retrieval, is frightening.
"Cyber and information operations harnessing everyday applications like Facebook and Twitter, and the news media, are used to influence the cognitive domain in countries around the world. These are the new weapons of war. Unfortunately, they're not yet recognized as warfare because digital 1s and 0s can't be seen, heard or feared like bombs or bullets. The U.S. and its allies must acknowledge the changing characteristics of warfare in the information age and move to defend against cognitive domain attacks." This is the view of Colonel Deric J. Holbrook, US Army and a visiting ASPI Fellow to the Army War College.
China is already two steps ahead of America in this battlespace. A comprehensive understanding of the reach of cognitive domains is crucial for anticipating and preventing further infiltration as well as shielding against future attacks.

Google to invest up to $1 billion in Bharti Airtel | ZDNet
Steve Miles
Bharti Airtel has announced that Google will invest up to $1 billion, as part of its Google for India Digitalisation Fund, in the Indian telco.
The investment will comprise $700 million to acquire a 1.28% stake in Airtel and up to $300 million towards potential multi-year commercial agreements to bolster the telco's digital offerings.
One of the first commercial agreements, according to the telco, will see the pair work together to build on Airtel's range of Android-enabled consumer devices, and remove barriers of owning a smartphone by working with various device manufacturers.
Both companies will also explore the possibility of co-creating India-specific network domain use cases for 5G and other standards. At the same time, there are plans to grow the cloud ecosystem in India to help local businesses accelerate digital adoption and explore scaling up the deployment of Google's network virtualisation solutions.
"Airtel and Google share the vision to grow India's digital dividend through innovative products. With our future ready network, digital platforms, last mile distribution and payments ecosystem, we look forward to working closely with Google to increase the depth and breadth of India's digital ecosystem," Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal said on Friday.
This latest investment deal comes off the back of a long-standing relationship between the two companies. In 2013, the pair teamed up to provide Bharti Airtel customers in India access to Google online products for free.
Google's ties to India were further cemented when it announced its $10 billion investment in the country's digitalisation over the next five to seven years under its Google for India Digitalisation Fund.
"Airtel is a leading pioneer shaping India's digital future, and we are proud to partner on a shared vision for expanding connectivity and ensuring equitable access to the Internet for more Indians," Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai said.
"Our commercial and equity investment in Airtel is a continuation of our Google for India Digitization Fund's efforts to increase access to smartphones, enhance connectivity to support new business models, and help companies on their digital transformation journey."

The Catholicity of the Reformation
POD; Published: 12/11/1996
As the title of this learned collection of essays suggests, "catholicity" was the true intent of the Reformation. The Reformers did not set out to create what later came to be known as Protestant Christianity. Theirs was a quest for reformation and renewal in continuity with the "one holy catholic and apostolic church" of ancient times.
This informed and informative book continues the appeal of previous voices that have pointed out the catholic intention of the Reformation — such voices as those of Friedrich Heiler, Philip Schaff, and Paul Tillich, to name only a few — and calls the heirs of the Reformation, both pastors and churches, to be faithful to the evangelical and catholic elements of the great Christian tradition.

"These essays try to rescue the term catholic from exclusive association with Roman Catholicism. Written from a Lutheran orientation, they plead for an evangelical catholicity. The authors cover such main themes as liturgy and ministry, and a survey of some of the texts used by Barth reveals a close affinity between Lutheran Pietism and catholic piety."

Office Purge: "Belko Experiment" familiar but still effective at its sick job
The Belko Experiment (2017)
James Gunn had a draft of "The Belko Experiment" in his drawer for quite a while now, even before the major studio nabbed him to direct 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy." The premise instantly calls to mind a hybrid of 2000's "Battle Royale," 2012's "The Cabin in the Woods," and 2013's "The Purge" in the workplace, and as an elevator pitch, it's a depraved humdinger. Given that Gunn's script has been directed by Greg McLean (he of the ruthlessly vicious "Wolf Creek" films and 2016's worthless "The Darkness," which called for a recovery project from him), the outcome is more unsparing and mean-spirited than darkly fun. "The Belko Experiment" might also think it gives its audience more to chew on afterward than it really does, but that still doesn't take away from it being an effectively sick, nasty, berserk piece of work. It's so good at its job that even after a while, it does admittedly become too blunt and numbing for its own good.
A sterile, imposing office skyscraper in the middle of remote Bogotá, Colombia already seems off from the start, but on this particular day, the security is military grade, searching every worker's car at the gate and sending home every local employee. The employees of nonprofit government company Belko Industries go on with their day, until a mysterious voice on an intercom makes an alarming announcement: if two out of the eighty people in the building are not killed within thirty minutes, then two will be chosen at random. Then the building goes on lockdown, steel shutters covering every window and door. With everyone leaving their own respective floors and meeting in the lobby, COO Barry Norris (Tony Goldwyn) tries to alleviate any panic and assures everyone that it is probably a sick joke. Of course, that's before two employees' heads explode from the inside from an implanted tracer tag (every worker has one to evade kidnappings in South America). Next up in this so-called social experiment, thirty people must be killed in two hours or sixty more will die. Only a divide can form when the still-sane Mike Milch (John Gallagher Jr.) tries to reason and think about their options, while others have a different point-of-view and no trouble getting down and dirty if it means more hope for them to survive.
More cynically minded than satirically savage, "The Belko Experiment" has nothing new to say or add to the conversation of human nature and man's primal instincts coming out in a every-man-for-himself, kill-or-be-killed situation. If it's a satire, what is it actually satirizing? Corporate power? The "what would you do?" concept has been mined many times before, sure, but it's still a provocative hook by which to amp up the violent carnage and exploitation. For a straight-ahead genre pic that goes for the jugular, director Greg McLean knows how to work up a palpable sense of anxiety and uncertainty to connect the audience to the characters' life-or-death quandary. And, at a no-nonsense 88 minutes, the narrative structure is tight and free of excess, except for the fact that the film becomes an excessively bloody and grisly free-for-all.
The characters are pretty much all types, adequately set up before the bloodletting occurs, and just enough time is spent between friendly co-workers in their cubicles to hope certain ones don't become a recipient of a bullet to the head or a knife in the gut. Most of them are played by an interestingly assembled cast, too, including Michael Rooker as a maintenance worker; Melonie Diaz (2013's "Fruitvale Station") as a woman having a hell of a first day on the job; and a grinning John C. McGinley as an office pervert who inevitably makes the switch into alpha-male psychopath. Compared to those who are just inconsequential slasher-flick fodder, John Gallagher Jr. (2016's "Hush") is a solid everyman and voice of reason, and both he and girlfriend Leandra (Adria Arjona) are a couple worth latching onto until the end. Tony Goldwyn is also quite chilling as the boss, who wants to maintain order but makes a choice and ends up only being out for himself at the end of the day.
James Gunn's cheeky, twistedly amusing sense of humor sneaks through from time to time but not nearly enough. For instance, after someone is hacked to death in a restroom stall, the door shuts to reveal and linger on a sign that reads, "Keep this area clean and please wash your hands." There's even a little levity with the inclusion of office stoner Marty (Sean Gunn, James' brother who had a long run as the eccentric Kirk on TV's "Gilmore Girls") and his conspiracy theory that it's the water in the water coolers making everyone crazy. Ironic musical choices do not work, not the Spanish covers of "I Will Survive" and "California Dreamin'" that open and end the film, and not a montage of panic cued to classical opera.
Next to learning who is playing God and orchestrating this experiment, guessing the last man or woman standing becomes the ultimate purpose here, and finding out both are not unsatisfying. Director McLean and writer Gunn even use the "final girl" archetype to mess with our expectations. When the head honchos open the armory vault and load up on guns for themselves, it does dash one's hope for more brutally inspired kills outside of making a machete from a paper trimmer. Also, before it's too late, death by tape dispenser is a new one. Sometimes more than the murders themselves, the anticipation is scarier. A horrifying scene in which a group of men who put themselves in charge start lining up workers by age and those with children of a certain age before a mass execution especially holds one in its relentless grip. "The Belko Experiment" offers a cool idea and some cheap thrills, but the execution could have led to much more than a routine if skillful kill-a-thon. Maybe a sequel, which McLean and Gunn obviously hope for, can learn from this film's missed opportunities and improve upon itself much like "The Purge" has with each new installment.

I was hoping for some guidance. I would like to create a script file that pull in a string - manipulates that string to be used by another file.
Example: Pull in the %computername% then change the string based on a pattern - every other character has say $ between them and the last letter is capital.
So if the computer name is myPCname - pull in that string - and change it to my$PC$na$mE and then save that result to a variable that can be access by another cmd file.
i am a believer is multiple fronts,so i ask the question while doing my own research - I have been pointed in a better direction that way.
if you have some thoughts on sites for resources i welcome your input, otherwise you comments is as much a waste of time as you feel my question is.
You could have got the answer to your question in an order of magnitude less time than it took to type it out.
Ummm...what would be the point, since you "have been pointed in a better direction"?
Thanks you - i have actually been working on a a simualar solution - just last night - appricated you assistance.

Bryant Makes Early Exit from Iowa's Game, Expected to Rejoin Cubs Soon
Evan AltmanAugust 30, 2018
Kris Bryant may be on his way to Atlanta.
The Cubs superstar led off and played left field for the Iowa Cubs Thursday afternoon, but headed for the clubhouse in the 3rd inning after going 0-for-2 with a pair of strikeouts. According to sources close to the situation, the plan was for Bryant to exit after two at-bats in what was widely believed to be his final rehab game.
He was originally supposed to have Thursday off, but rain in Friday's forecast changed the plans a bit. As Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reported, members of the I-Cubs staff got Bryant's attention in the top of the 3rd when he was out in the field. Upon the completion of the half-frame, Bryant was hustled off and did not return.
The plan is for him to rejoin the Cubs Friday in Philadelphia and then he'll be reactivated Saturday when rosters expand.
Bryant was 2-for-10 with two singles, two walks, and four strikeouts in four AAA games, but the results don't matter as much as just getting back into competition and working on his timing. It may still take him some time to get used to MLB pitching, though probably not nearly as long as it'll take fans to get used to his new two-handed swing.
