Whether you gave Space Force the old college try, or still haven't watched every possible version of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive episode, Netflix's "Continue Watching" section can get bogged down in unwanted content. Which is why the streaming service introduced "remove from row": a new feature that makes it easier to delete rejected programs and focus on the series and movies you actually want to continue watching.
Android owners running the latest version of Netflix can access the function by tapping the three dots next to any title and choosing "Remove From Row." Other pop-up options include the ability to see more information, download the next episode (if applicable), and rate the program.
The oft-requested function is currently available only on Android, but is "coming soon" to iOS devices, according to Gadgets 360(Opens in a new window). Amazon Prime Video users may be familiar with a similar long-press feature that lets you add to the Watchlist or remove from recommendations with one touch.
"We constantly look to make the Netflix experience more intuitive," the company said in a statement to Gadgets 360. "The update to the mobile menu groups a few existing options—downloading a show or movie, rating it, or removing it from 'Continue Watching'—and makes them more convenient."
There is no word on whether this function will roll out to desktop users, who can currently hide titles from their viewing history(Opens in a new window) (Account > Profile > Viewing Activity), but have no option to permanently remove content from the "Continue Watching" list.

A patient presenting with acute abdomen due to metastatic small bowel melanoma: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports volume 7, Article number: 216 (2013)
Malignant tumors of the small bowel are rare. Melanoma of the small intestine is in most cases metastatic from a primary skin lesion. Perforation of small bowel melanoma is an extremely rare entity. To the best of our knowledge this is the fifth case published to date.
We report a rare case of acute abdomen due to perforated metastatic small bowel melanoma in a 38-year-old Caucasian man.
In the majority of cases small bowel melanoma represents metastasis from cutaneous sites. Although rare, the possibility of abdominal metastatic melanoma presenting with the clinical picture of acute abdomen must be always considered by the operating surgeon in patients with a history of primary cutaneous malignant lesion.
Small bowel melanoma is rare and often asymptomatic. Most common symptoms are chronic abdominal pain, bleeding and intestinal obstruction or intussusception. Rarely, a small bowel melanoma occurs with the clinical picture of acute abdomen due to perforation. Correct diagnosis is difficult and most often it can be obtained only after explorative laparotomy. To date, only a few reports of small bowel perforation due to metastatic melanoma have been published[3–5]. We share our experience of successful treatment of such a rare entity.
A 38-year-old Caucasian man came to the emergency department of our hospital with diffuse abdominal pain for the past 10 hours. A few months ago he was diagnosed with metastatic brain melanoma and he has been treated since then with high doses of corticosteroids. At follow up, 20 days before admission, he had computed tomography (CT) scans of his brain, chest and abdomen showing only the known brain lesions. At that time, his vital signs showed only mild tachycardia. On physical examination abdominal sounds were absent and his abdomen was rigid and diffusely tender with rebound tenderness. A rectal examination showed an empty rectum. The emergent laboratory tests revealed as follows: white blood cells 10,200mm3, hemoglobin at 11.5g/dL, c-reactive protein was at 14mg/L, the results of creatinine, electrolytes, and liver function tests were normal. The admission chest X-ray showed pneumoperitoneum. An exploratory laparotomy was performed under general anesthesia on the same day. Intraoperative findings revealed multiple (>100) black-colored nodules, of different size (0.5 to 7.0cm) on the small bowel wall as well as on the peritoneum surface. One of the nodules located in his jejunum was perforated (Figure 1). A long part of his small bowel (approximately 2m), containing most of the nodules, was resected for cytoreduction purposes and also to prevent another perforation in the near future. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was discharged 9 days later. Six months after the operation the patient remains asymptomatic. The histopathological diagnosis was malignant melanoma of the small bowel. There was diffuse infiltration of the intestinal wall from atypical large neoplastic cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Melanin pigmentation was observed in the neoplastic cells (Figure 2a). Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells were positive for S-100 protein (Figure 2b), HMB-45 (Figure 2c), melan A (Figure 2d) and vimentin, whereas they were negative for CD45-common leukocyte antigen and pancytokeratin.
Small bowel melanoma is a rare entity with difficult diagnosis. The majority of these neoplastic lesions are metastatic from primary skin lesions. It seems that a clear histological distinction between primary small bowel and metastatic intestinal melanoma is very difficult to establish. In most cases, metastatic melanoma of the small bowel is clinically silent. An acute presentation may rarely occur due to intestinal obstruction or intussusception. The clinical picture of acute abdomen due to perforation of small bowel metastatic melanoma is extremely rare. To date only five cases, including our own, of perforation due to melanoma intestinal metastasis have been reported[1, 7, 8].
Preoperative diagnosis of small bowel melanoma is difficult to establish due to the non-specific clinical symptoms. Imaging methods such as capsule endoscopy, CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scan may generate a suspicion of small bowel melanoma. It has been reported that capsule endoscopy is sensitive in detecting small bowel metastasis, whereas extra-intestinal intra-abdominal involvement might be detected by MRI, CT and PET scan. Definitive diagnosis of small bowel metastasis can be obtained only after explorative laparotomy and bowel resection as an elective method or in an emergency setting, as in our case, and may improve the overall prognosis of the patient[9, 10].
Abdominal metastatic melanoma rarely presents as an acute abdomen. Intestinal metastatic melanoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in patients with a history of primary cutaneous melanoma.

While the rest of the world remains genuinely curious and excited about lab-grown meat, there’s still one major holdout: Italy. According to Fortune, Italy’s government has moved to ban the production of cultivated meat to protect Italian agriculture and culture. The ban is pretty far-reaching: it covers the sale, production and even import of these products. “Italy is the world’s first country safe from the social and economic risks of synthetic food,” said Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida (per BBC News).
Turns Out Lab-Grown Meat Can Qualify as Halal and KosherIt’s another step towards widespread acceptance of cultivated meat
If you think there’s more to the story than social and economic protection, you’re absolutely correct. Essentially, this is about politics, and particularly about Italy’s far right-wing government (which is very culturally protective, anti-globalist and also hates raves). While the European Union (EU) itself hasn’t approved any synthetic meats so far, this move by Italy seems designed to appeal to the country’s large Coldiretti farmers’ organization. According to BBC, a fight nearly broke out in the Italian parliament between a few MPs who voted against the bill and the head of that farmers’ lobby, who confronted the representatives with placards that called them “anti-scientific and anti-Italian.”
The law might also be just for show, as some experts believe Italy could face fines from the E.U. As well, there appears to be growing support for alternative meats, as they could help combat climate change and help make food production more efficient. But Francesco Lollobrigida, Italy’s minister for food sovereignty and agriculture, sees it differently. “If you produce a food that has no relationship to man, land, work, you can move production to a place with lower taxes and less environmental standards, hurting jobs and the environment,” he told Politico.
At the moment, the use of cultivated meat has only been approved for human consumption in Singapore and the United States.

Raymond Cook, once a prominent plastic surgeon, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, felony death by motor vehicle and driving while impaired. A judge sentenced him for involuntary manslaughter because Cook could be sentenced for only one of the charges under North Carolina law. He could spend up to 4 1/2 years in prison.
Prosecutors said the hospital found Cook's blood-alcohol content to be 0.24, three times the legal limit, on the night of the accident, The News and Observer reported. The defense challenged that reading and said police measured Cook's blood-alcohol content as 0.19, more than twice the legal limit.
The Wake County jury was only two votes away Tuesday from convicting Cook of second-degree murder. But defense lawyers argued that Cook, who gave up his medical license a week after the crash, was not acting with malice.
After the trial, one juror told reporters she believed Cook deserved life in prison. "He knowingly sped through an intersection with a very high chance that he would take a life. So, we felt like second-degree murder was very appropriate," juror Wendy Smith told WRAL.
"Dr. Cook consciously got into that car drunk, sped 90 miles an hour down a residential road, putting Lord knows how many other people in harm's way, until he killed Elena," Annie Bright, Shapiro's aunt, told the courtroom Tuesday before Cook's sentencing, according to ABC/WTVD. "To me that's no different than standing in front of her and shooting her with a gun."
But Shapiro's mother, Brantly Bright Shapiro, said no sentence would bring her daughter back.
"We don't get Elena back. We don't get any kind of better rest at night because of somebody going to jail for a longer or shorter period of time," she said, according to NBC's "Today" show.

This was a purely research-based residency working on a software tool. During this residency, I refined this back end, optimizing it for video synthesis with LZX modules. There was never any goal of producing anything finished that could be displayed in an art gallery, but the following coarse feedback video displays an instance of how this worked.
Faced with a starving family, her father gave away his 6-year-old daughter in exchange for food.
Billed as "a brass-knuckle punch in its startling revelation of teenage savages" and based on the book of the same name by Evan Hunter — aka crime writer Ed McBain — who drew on his own experiences as a teacher in the Bronx — Blackboard Jungle ushered in the age of the teenage delinquent. In London, Brooks's film attracted crowds of Teddy Boys, who slashed cinema seats, danced in the aisles and actually started a riot. The reason for such shocking behaviour wasn't so much the film's content, which today garners a more sober 12 rating, but because of the use of Bill Haley and the Comets' early rock'n'roll hit Rock Around the Clock, which played over the opening credits. Today, it is the least shocking aspect of a film that touches on knife crime, drug use and even rape within the state school system, but back then it was a touchstone for disaffected youth, never mind the fact that Haley was a journeying white musician in his 30s and the song was already a year old. Nearly 60s years later it still packs a punch, with Glenn Ford's Richard Dadier so called mainly to allow the jive-talking students to call him "Daddy-O" struggling to control his pupils at the fictional North Manual high school. Others try and fail, like the pitiful Mr Edwards whose prized 78s are smashed by his class in a symbolic and still upsetting act of rebellion, but hope exists in the form of African-American Gregory Miller, who finally responds to Dadier's patrician authority. Nevertheless, for all its postwar morality, Vic Morrow's surly Artie West is the film's real antihero, leather-jacketed and blank, the logical heir to Marlon Brando's Wild One of just two years earlier. Damon Wise. With The Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up certified hits, the Judd Apatow express was already rolling at full speed by the time Superbad, a comedy aimed at a younger demographic, appeared on cinema screens.
The number of kids entering the juvenile justice system has declined steadily in recent years, yet girls continue to represent an ever-growing share of those arrested, detained, and committed to custody. In his latest collection of photographs, Girls in Justice , Richard Ross—who has spent the past eight years documenting incarcerated kids—explores the lives of young women in custody. His haunting photos, taken across different detention facilities, illuminate the difficult circumstances absent caregivers, poverty, physical abuse, sexual violence, etc. In the book, for privacy reasons, the girls are identified only by their initials, and their faces are obscured.

CfM supports the The Big Push for Midwives and their "A New Birth of Freedom," campaign. To join the effort:
1) Clicking this here.
2) Cut and paste this sample message below
3) Fill in your name and send... and you are done!
Dear President Obama,
We are indeed celebrating "A New Birth of Freedom" as you assume office today!
And BIRTH is a really important element of health!
Please be sure to include Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs), who specialize in providing out-of-hospital maternity care, in federal healthcare reform.
We have a lot of very costly problems, harmful practices and poor outcomes in US maternity care, well documented in the new report “Evidence-Based Maternity Care: What It Is and What It Can Achieve” from Childbirth Connection (see here).
We desperately need other options. Certified Professional Midwives providing excellent maternity care with few interventions and excellent outcomes are a model of cost-effective maternity care and provide a safe alternative to hospital-based care for the majority of women. However, they must be recognized by the federal government for their potential to improve maternity care to be realized.
For more on consumer concerns and suggestions, please see Citizens for Midwifery’s “Maternity Care: A Priority for Health Care Reform: Lower costs, increase effectiveness, improve outcomes for mothers and babies” here.

14 November 2007
Senator Ivana Bacik: I ask for a debate on public transport and alternatives to the use of private cars. This is timely on a day when thousands of commuters are stranded without bus services. I am sure we all hope the matter will be resolved at the Labour Court. However, it begs the question of broader issues about Government support for public transport and for forms of transport other than the private car.
Last week Senator Ross called for the restoration of Leinster House lawn and that Members would lead by example. I fully support his call but I take issue with him when he says that most of us drive. Some of us cycle in every day and we see at first hand the lack of support for cyclists from both the Government and Dublin City Council. There is a very poor network of cycling lanes and cyclists face extreme danger every day.
The fact that the Government has not seen fit to support cycling as an alternative form of transport to private cars is hugely problematic but there is also a lack of support for public transport which is evident in a report last week that integrated ticketing for bus, rail, DART and Luas services across Dublin will now not be introduced until 2010, which is appalling. It was nearly ten years ago when the prospect of integrated ticketing was first raised. The then Minister, Deputy Mary O'Rourke, said it would definitely be introduced by 2002, the Railway Procurement Agency promised it by 2005 and now we are told it will not be introduced until 2010. Is it really that difficult to develop an integrated ticket system for all public transport services across Dublin? We need to debate this issue.

I really love Equilibrium. It’s certainly not in danger of being called perfect, and there is a surprising amount of nastiness towards it on its imdb forum, but it does something very few other action movies do: it not only notices, but appreciates, the ordinary. Equilibrium takes place in the fictional city of Libria, a fascist state founded by the survivors of the Third World War. Believing a fourth world war would destroy humanity, the survivors realized the source of all crimes, discrimination, and cruelty was human emotions. Thus, the citizens of Libria agree to inject themselves with the drug Prozium, which neutralizes emotions (or at least, it eliminates the highs or lows of emotions). In order to avoid tempting Libria’s citizens to stop taking Prozium and begin feeling again, all art is banned, and so the resistance fighters often hoard art of any and all kinds. The story itself centres on Grammaton Cleric John Preston (Christian Bale), a specially trained police enforcer who investigates and arrests those who are rebelling against the state and have ceased taking Prozium (referred to as “sense offence”). After accidentally missing a dose, Preston regains his emotions and begins to question the established order.
On its, very limited, theatrical release Equilibrium was critically panned as a tired, re-hashed sci-fi movie. Part of the reason was it was released in the long shadow of The Matrix (which I also love with all my heart). And honestly, they are not unrelated. Like The Matrix, there is a strong influence of the martial arts in Equilibrium‘s fight sequences, and some of the gun fights bear resemblance to those in The Matrix‘s third act. Both films ask questions about human nature, the value of individuality, what it means to be truly authentic, and our sometimes voluntary relationship to oppressive forces. None of this is to say Equilibrium is an outright copy, but it certainly suffers for the comparison. Audiences, however, tend to like Equilibrium and it has since attained cult status with its fans. Between critics and audience members, there is a very wide gap: on Rotten Tomatoes the average critic rating is 38%, while the average audience rating is 82%; the gap is similar on Metacritic where the critic average is 33%, and the audience average is also 82%. Strangely, this gap in opinion may actually be fitting since the film makes a bit of a joke about the distinctions we make between “high” and “low” art.
At the very beginning, the first rebel holdout Preston and his partner, Errol Partridge (Sean Bean), raid is hiding what we’d normally consider “high art.” In a room full of paintings, a rebel looks at “The Story Book” by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (several of whose paintings have sold in the millions). After the violent confrontation, Preston uncovers a hidden compartment under the floor which is hiding nothing less than the Mona Lisa, which, after being authenticated, is burned. Subsequent raids yield rather less impressive results. The hidden room where Mary (Emily Watson) is hoarding contraband has two kinds of ugly floral wallpaper, lamps with brightly coloured shades, a ripped quilt, a little bell, and funky shaped glass vials. In another raid Preston finds a sign for Gold Bond Stamps, a school crossing traffic sign, matches, postcards with pin-up girls on them, more coloured glass containers, a rotary dial phone, Christmas lights, a disco ball(!), and a snow-globe with the Eiffel tower inside. None of this would be identified as art at all. In fact, the only other appearance of “art” in these raids is when Preston plays a recording of Beethoven’s 9th symphony and is totally overcome with emotion (but Lord knows Beethoven’s 9th was criticized when it was first performed publicly, too).
What we give the title of “art” to is not just highly subjective but fraught with all kinds of briar patches about what constitutes “talent,” “worth,” and “importance.” But the things in Equilibrium aren’t banned because they are considered art, they’re banned for “emotional content.” In the film this is defined as “all those things that might tempt us to feel again.” To writer and director Kurt Wimmer’s credit, the things that may tempt us to feel aren’t just the Mona Lisa or any other painting that belongs in a museum, but anything with a bright colour, a strange texture, an unusual shape. “Emotional content” is not a value judgement. It makes no divisions and assigns no labels. A snow globe delights in its own way, it may not be the sublime rapture of Beethoven, but it is still delight.
Aside from a scene involving dogs which cannot be described as anything other than emotional blackmail, Preston’s discovery of emotions does not focus on grandiose sensations – in fact, the “spectacular” elements of the film, the fight sequences, are associated with a lack of emotion in Preston. Instead, Preston seems to notice the things already around him. The first thing he notices is the warmth of the sunlight – which turns his skin from a stony grey to a warm beige – and he peels the film from his window and for the first time notices the beauty of Libria in the rain. The same day, while climbing a staircase in a thick crowd, Preston notices an older woman beside him running her bare hand along the plain, metal railing. Preston then takes off his own glove and does the same, almost surprised at the sensation. He does something similar later, when after another raid in the nethers, he walks along a deserted and bullet-ridden hallway, removes his glove, and runs his fingertips along the wall. At work, Preston notices the identicalness of everyone’s desk and, as Father’s voice in the background is heard toting the importance of “sameness” and the opportunity for every citizen to live identical lives, Preston rearranges his stapler and paper clips with the intensity of someone defusing a bomb. Preston’s emotional trajectory in the film is represented by a simple, tattered red ribbon. And in flash back, Preston remembers his wife, who unbeknownst to him had ceased her Prozium doses, as she folds clothes with an almost reverent quality, as if it were the highest act of love possible – and in a way, it is.
It is remarkable that an action movie could remind us to reconnect with the everyday: folding laundry, where we put our stapler, the texture of the wall. If we could set aside our value judgements we might be more open to wonder. We live in a world that is quietly, but intensely alive, right underneath our fingertips. The simple sensation of a metal railing under our bare palm, or noticing the way sunlight warms the skin. And while the film may be about a society which voluntarily numbs their emotions with drugs, it also uses the potential intensity of simple things to underline, perhaps, how numb we are in our own lives. It would be a rare person indeed who considers folding laundry a sacred act. I love Equilibrium because it reminds me to wake up and look again. After all, isn’t the real purpose of art to help us see the world, others, and ourselves differently? Art gives us another point of view outside of the tyranny of our own. So what if the movie isn’t a masterpiece? We have only our dreams.

The housemates are condemned to another week on a basic food budget after failing the toy task.
To ensure the luxury £5 a day rations, the group was told that they must pass five of the seven tasks they had been set.
They passed the first task (which required the group remain still as a group of children ran amok in the house), the fourth challenge (which saw Ben scare Ulrika while dressed as a dinosaur), the fifth (Ulrika successfully hit a target with a bow and arrow) and the sixth (which involved Mutya and Tina playing a tune on a giant piano).
However, they were unsuccessful on their second challenge (Coolio and Tommy became toy cars but refused to head through a car wash), the third (Michelle and Verne were unable to eat a whole jar of honey between them) and the seventh (Terry and Tina's ballet challenge).
The announcement that they had failed and will have to survive on a £1 per head per day food budget immediately caused Ulrika to drop her head into her hands.
While the group initially appeared downcast, talk soon turned to the reasons why they did not succeed, with Ulrika, Terry and Tina agreeing that the task was unfair and engineered to produce a failed result.
Terry and Tina had to draw more internet hits for their ballet performance than Ulrika and Verne did for their 'Endless Love' singing task. However, they failed to do so, earning 81, 483 hits compared to 36, 609.
Terry said: "The comedy value for Ulrika and Verne's internet video was just inherently funny. Ours wasn't."
Verne and Michelle also believed that their honey task was too difficult. "I just said that in the Diary Room. It was physically impossible to keep down," Verne said.

Rains are over. There is a slight chill in the atmosphere. Winter is just around the corner. Soon, sweaters, scarves, blankets will come out of the wardrobe, after a long break. It is a healthy season. Eat and be happy. Ideal one to go for a jog in the morning, were sun is yet to come up, slight mist in the air.
Everything is happy and dandy.
And suddenly, in blissful morning air, there is acrid smoke. The smoke is coming from dry leaves getting burnt.
Come winter, and leaf fall starts. In a city, it is a major challenge. What to do with all those leaves?
Burning them off seems convenient, easy, isn’t it?
Oh, it is not so. Why burning is not a good strategy, we will discuss in later blogs.
Today let’s discuss, why leaves fall, in the first place.
Ready for some botany? Don’t worry, nothing too complicated 😊. Let’s simplify and understand.
Trees that shed leaves for some time in a year are called “deciduous” trees.
Deciduous word comes from the Latin word, Decidere. It means “to fall off” or “to fall down”.
Water absorbed by the roots of the plant is distributed to all parts of the plant and gets evaporated through leaves. It is called transpiration. Leaves have pores on them called stomata. Stomata open and water is let out.
Opening of stomata allows Carbon Dioxide to enter through the leaves. Carbon Dioxide is essential for trees for photosynthesis. In simple words, plants prepare their food through this process.
Also, letting out water helps trees to cool off.
After winter, there is summer, the dry season. In the summer heat, soil dries off, water table drops. This is the time when it is necessary to save water. For us and for plants as well 😊
So how to hold in water, as much as possible? By not letting it go out, right?
But if leaves are present, plant will keep losing water.
What could be the solution?
To get rid of the leaves!!
Yes, that’s what they do.
They shed leaves.
Deciduous trees shed all the leaves. For some duration, there is not a single leaf present on these trees.
Now tree is ready to face summer and the summer heat.
There are trees like Mango, Jamun, Jackfruit, that are never completely leaf-less. They shed leaves but not all at once. They keep shedding them all throughout the year. They are called ever-green or semi evergreen trees.
Okkay, back to deciduous trees.
Shedding leaves not only helps trees, but also helps the soil.
Leaves that fall off from the tree, cover the soil around the tree. Leaves form a layer over soil. Because of this leaf cover, sun light cannot reach the soil. Even soil can retain moisture.
Fallen leaves make a protective layer over the soil. It helps soil retain moisture
Nature’s design is simply brilliant, isn’t it?


Quite aside from the fact that such practices are both vile and unnecessary, they show once again the need for tougher standards in the automotive sector and harsher sanctions on those that wilfully break the rules. The EU’s response to the uncovering of the Dieselgate emissions scandal two years ago was too slow, and clearly not strong enough. The EU must lead the way in tackling those companies who seek to ignore environmental regulations, mislead customers and undermine consumer confidence.
I would, of course, like to see the EU go further and I am sometimes frustrated by the member states watering down more far-reaching proposals. However, I am certain that the institutions of the EU, not least the more ambitious voice of the European Parliament, remain the best forum in which to address environmental concerns and tackle flagrant, and illegal, breaches of regulation such as those we have seen from Volkswagen.
As the hard Brexit obsessed fringe of the Conservative party seems to have ever growing influence over the direction of government policy, it is clear that the current government are simply not up to the task of enforcing an effective regulatory regime in a post-Brexit UK. Indeed, it is obvious that hardliners would like to pursue a ‘bonfire of regulation’, leaving huge companies free to do as they please, regardless of the consequences for our health and wellbeing and, indeed, the future of our planet.
When we leave the European Environmental Agency, what mechanism will there be to ensure accurate monitoring and reporting of environmental data? When we are no longer under the jurisdiction of the European courts, what procedures will there be to ensure the citizen’s basic right to breathe clean air? With some Brexiteers clearly aiming to make the UK a low-tax, low-regulation economy, what steps will the government take to ensure that this does not happen, that there is proper, robust scrutiny and enforcement of rules to prevent VW-style behaviour amongst UK-based companies after Brexit?
Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s representative in the Brexit negotiations, has already suggested that it will be a red line for the EU that the UK must not diverge from EU regulations during any transition period after exit day. However, for the sake of our planet, the UK government should, at the very least, commit to full alignment with EU environmental standards even after a transition, and make clear that the UK will have no truck with companies who refuse to play by the rules.

Mad Men: The Beginning of the End
It has been a long and memorable ride, unlike any other on television. But the final season of Mad Men begins April 13.
It's the beginning of the end. Whatever will be, will be.
The first episode of Mad Men was set in March 1960. Season 6 ended in November 1968. That's eight years and eight months. Where does that leave us? [spoiler alert!]
Don and Betty are divorced. Don's remarried to Megan, and she wasn't happy at the end of Season 6. Sally and Glen are teenagers. Roger has divorced twice and is the father of Joan's child. Joan's husband Greg is in Vietnam. Their marriage is over. Trudy catches Pete cheating too close to home. Their marriage is over. Ted moves to California, leaving Peggy as creative director of SC&P. Lane is dead.
Season 6 ended with Don Draper, on a forced hiatus from the agency, standing with his kids outside the brothel in which he grew up. The credits rolled to the Judy Collins version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now".
Where and when will Season 7 be set? We'll have to wait and see. There is a colorful final season poster designed by Milton Glaser that hints at the psychedelia of the late sixties. There are also a handful of airport-themed cast photos that hint at travel. Is Don Draper bound for California? Again, we'll have to wait and see! One of the photos shows Peggy and Don waiting at an airport, and you can just glimpse some reading material in Peggy's bag: a red "The" centered at the top of a black cover... If you happen to recognize this book let me know!
(UPDATE: March 21, 2014: the book in Peggy's bag is The Penny Wars, by Elliott Baker. Click here for more details.)
The only other Season 7 information comes from a 15-second trailer of Don slowly exiting down the steps of an airplane. Even that managed to possibly provide one tantalizing tidbit: when Don's slo-mo airplane disembark video was first released the background music was a trip-hop version of "Que Sera, Sera", but that was quickly removed and changed to an atmospheric orchestration with the sound of a jetliner. Maybe the change was due to something as simple as not having the rights secured, or maybe it was a clue of what's to come!
Whatever will be, will be.
The final season of Mad Men will be split into two seven-episode sections, with the second part airing in 2015. There are only fourteen episodes left. Mad Men Season 7 starts April 13.

2018 MS Climb to Machu Picchu
On Sept 26, 2012 I reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa.
It was a tough climb but the thoughts of those with MS that I was helping kept me going to the top.
Fundraising for the MS Society is contimuing with plans for my next big trek! The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in April 2018.
Please consider making a donation to support the work of the MS Society in helping to find an eventual cure for MS. 100% of donations go to the MS Society as my trek will be financed by sponsors, event revenues and me.
Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world.
It’s true – 100 000 Canadians live with MS. Having multiple sclerosis means that one morning you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are many and vary for everyone.
I’m taking the challenge to help the MS Society fund research, advocate for change, and help people with MS and their families. Proceeds from my campaign and others like it provide support and services to help those living with this disease, their families and caregivers. They also fund research with three primary goals: to find a cause and cure for MS, repair nervous system damage caused by MS and stop MS attacks. By supporting me, you too can make a difference in the life of someone with multiple sclerosis.
I am doing whatever it takes in the fight to end MS. Will you join me?

Riley and the rest of our team were out at Shot Show 2019 a few weeks ago, and our coverage continues.
Riley had the chance to talk with Rod from Kimber about their latest addition to their line of pistols, and they're excited about this year, for good reason.
The Kimber EVO SP 9mm is a sub-compact striker fired pistol. Known for their 1911 pistols, this isn't the first time Kimber has released a pistol in the striker fired format. The first one, the Kimber Solo, was a bit of a flop–to say the least.
The EVO, seems to be the evolution of that pistol.
“We wanted to make sure we were going after that most reliable most shootable sub compact EDC gun. We wanted to reach the crowd that wanted that striker fire, (and) integrated trigger safety,” Rod said.
“We set out, when we were building this EVO, for the most reliable, most shootable, subcompact EDC gun that we could ever make. And we think we've hit that best in class status with this EVO.”
Check out the video, here:
The EVO comes stock with tritium night sights and has a magazine capacity of 7+1. The pistol's magazine release can be moved to accommodate South Paw shooters.
Other features include a 6.5 lb. trigger, G10 grips, loaded striker indicator and a 16-17 lb. slide racking force to make it easier for smaller shooters.
Our editor, Josh, was the only one on our team to shoot the new Kimber EVO, and this is what he had to say about it:
The Kimber Evo trigger felt great. It was smooth without any stacking. Even better, the muzzle flip was minimal on this aluminium framed micro compact pistol, which was surprising. The good trigger combined with good sights and minimal flip helped me ring the steel plates at what I'd call 20 or so feet consistently.
According to Rod, retail cost for the Kimber EVO SP 9mm should land around $850-$999. Let us know what you think about this new Kimber pistol in the comments below.

Bank OpRisk: Ignored More than a Bridesmaid
Cyrus Amir-Mokri, the assistant secretary for financial institutions, said the industry's technological advances should be accompanied by an awareness of the risk of systems breakdowns.December 5
Operational risk has replaced credit risk as the major safety and soundness challenge for national banks, Comptroller Thomas Curry said at a speech in Washington on Wednesday.May 16
Risk management still has its weak spots, despite the valuable lessons banks learned from the financial crisis. Practitioners wonder if stopping the next blow-up is even a reasonable goal for the profession.September 3
Banks and the financial regulatory world have changed significantly since I started consulting and training on the Basel accords ten years ago. Unfortunately, the neglect of operational risk remains the same.
Credit risk has always been the bride with all eyes upon her. Of course, in the mid-2000s, the bride should have received even more attention! Since the 2008 crisis, the Basel committee and domestic regulators have again focused on credit risk, revamping regulations and issuing numerous consultative papers. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision released Basel III in 2010 with substantial enhancements in the area of credit risk. Last year, it issued more guidance on credit.
Now that, for many, the crisis is in the rearview mirror, market risk has been allowed to be a bridesmaid. The Basel Committee recently issued guidelines on market risk-weighted assets and has focused on how to measure the risk of traded assets. Yet, operational risk does not even get to be in the wedding party, despite the fact that the worst bank losses in the last four decades have been due to operational not credit or market risks.
Operational risk is the breach in the day-to-day running of a company due to people, processes, systems/technology and external threats. Think Herstatt Bank, Barings, Allied Irish Banks and, more recently, Société Générale, UBS and JPMorgan Chase. In all of these operational risk cases, failures in people, processes, systems or external threats led to liquidity, credit or reputational risks. In some of the aforementioned cases, these operational risks led to ruin.
Despite these cases and the fact that the Basel Committee issued supervisory guidelines in 2011 on this topic, I have heard bankers and even some regulators relay different definitions for operational risk. Fraud and settlement risk are the most typical ones. If market participants cannot agree on what operational risk is, how can we believe banks have sound practices to identify, measure, control and monitor it or, moreover, have sufficient capital to withstand possibly rare, but high impact operational risk events?
For any market participant who thinks the three Basel II and III methods for credit risk are complex or leave too much at the discretion of the banks, you really need to look at Basel’s guidance for operational risk measurement found in Pillar I.
Like with credit risk, a bank must be approved by its bank supervisor to use one of three methods starting with the Basic Approach, which is the most general, one size fits all, to the Advanced Measurement Approach, where banks get to use their own historical internal loss data. Unlike for credit and market risks, the market lags in good strong operational risk measurement models. Operational risk is much harder to measure than other risks because of the paucity of high quality data.
Additionally, other than insurance for some operations risk aspects, there are no operational risk derivatives to hedge it. You can try to tell people not to lie, but given human nature that strategy may prove ineffective. You can fire people and try to send them to jail, as many have been clamoring for this year, but so many aspects of operational risk fail to rise to the level of an enforcement action, though, they can certainly cause banks to lose tremendous amounts of money.)
Even if you are somewhat able to identify, measure and control this type of risk, operational risk officers are left with the challenge of figuring out how to allocate capital for the probability that it may appear, for example, in the form of high impact fraud, insider trading, settlement failure or a natural disaster. Risk officers often find they can under allocate capital for operational risk and are not prepared when it materializes. Or they can end up allocating capital to survive the impact of a natural disaster only to find out that the impact was a lot less severe than had been anticipated. Capital is not free, so no one wants to over allocate it.
Recently, much of the media and market participants have been very focused on salacious and often puerile emails from alleged professionals at Standard & Poor’s, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley about their possible fraudulent role in rating or packaging of structured finance collateralized debt obligations comprised of mortgage-backed securities. The failures at these organizations due to fraud, lack of good controls and misuse of models are all extremely important, because they continue to show the neglect of operational risk at incredibly large and well-known global companies
Also noteworthy is the fact that some banks must now pay out high mortgage-related settlements. This includes Bank of America’s unprecedented $10.3 billion settlement with Fannie Mae in January. Bank of America will survive this loss, just like JPMorgan survived the "Whale," but could other U.S. banks survive these losses without causing systemic risk?
Given the lack of transparency, it is practically impossible for the market to see if a bank is identifying, measuring and controlling its operational risks adequately. The market should be very concerned whether banks are truly adequately capitalized for unabated fraud, such as misrepresentations of securities or insider trading, settlement failures and so on. If shareholders and bondholders do fail to demand more accountability and transparency from banks, Basel III operational risk guidelines will never make it to any wedding.

Self-employed workers wait for state response on benefits, financial relief
Until Friday, self-employed individuals in Tennessee were ineligible for unemployment benefits.
Then, Congress passed a $2 trillion stimulus package that provides those individuals with relief. Now the question is, how do they get it? State officials lack specifics at this point.
"Once (Tennessee Department of Labor & Workforce Development) determines how Tennessee will obtain the federal funding and implement the changes, we will (announce) details for independent contractors, the self-employed and business owners who will soon be eligible for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance," said Chris Cannon, spokesman for the department.
In Tennessee, a record 39,000 residents filed for unemployment in the week ending March 21. Self-employed employees were not eligible for benefits at the time, with labor officials saying President Trump would need to declare Tennessee a disaster area.
Under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, included in the stimulus bill, freelancers and gig workers can receive half the average unemployment benefit in their state and an extra $600 per week.
In Tennessee, the current average weekly unemployment benefit in Tennessee is $240.17. The maximum weekly unemployment benefit is $275 before federal taxes are deducted.
In 2017, about 185,000 Tennesseans were self-employed, based on tax returns from the Internal Revenue Service.

The Jimmy Butler sweepstakes are heating up, with or without Tom Thibodeau on board.
While the president of basketball operations and head coach of the Timberwolves does not want to trade their All-Star forward, owner Glen Taylor is ramping up the dealings, telling the team a trade must be struck in the next several days, according to an ESPN report.
In the days since Butler reportedly requested a trade — his preferred teams being the Knicks, Nets and Clippers — the Timberwolves have been fielding calls from teams looking to add the four-time All-Star, but Thibodeau has resisted.
Minnesota’s first practice of training camp comes Tuesday, and Taylor reportedly wants a deal done by then. Butler will not be reporting to training camp (at least not the Timberwolves’).
“The owner’s trading him,” a Board of Governors attendee recently told ESPN. “That was made clear. It’s just a matter of when.”
Butler will be a free agent after this season and has told Thibodeau that, if kept, he will not be re-signing with a team that features young stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, with whom he has clashed.

Bioengineering (Basel). 2022 Oct 27;9(11):618. doi: 10.3390/bioengineering9110618.
Biodiesel is an alternative, carbon-neutral fuel compared to fossil-based diesel, which can reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. Biodiesel is a product of microorganisms, crop plants, and animal-based oil and has the potential to prosper as a sustainable and renewable energy source and tackle growing energy problems. Biodiesel has a similar composition and combustion properties to fossil diesel and thus can be directly used in internal combustion engines as an energy source at the commercial level. Since biodiesel produced using edible/non-edible crops raises concerns about food vs. fuel, high production cost, monocropping crisis, and unintended environmental effects, such as land utilization patterns, it is essential to explore new approaches, feedstock and technologies to advance the production of biodiesel and maintain its sustainability. Adopting bioengineering methods to produce biodiesel from various sources such as crop plants, yeast, algae, and plant-based waste is one of the recent technologies, which could act as a promising alternative for creating genuinely sustainable, technically feasible, and cost-competitive biodiesel. Advancements in genetic engineering have enhanced lipid production in cellulosic crops and it can be used for biodiesel generation. Bioengineering intervention to produce lipids/fat/oil (TGA) and further their chemical or enzymatic transesterification to accelerate biodiesel production has a great future. Additionally, the valorization of waste and adoption of the biorefinery concept for biodiesel production would make it eco-friendly, cost-effective, energy positive, sustainable and fit for commercialization. A life cycle assessment will not only provide a better understanding of the various approaches for biodiesel production and waste valorization in the biorefinery model to identify the best technique for the production of sustainable biodiesel, but also show a path to draw a new policy for the adoption and commercialization of biodiesel.

Hi folks! Tracie here with you again.
This month I have been doing lots of fussy cutting, which is one of my favourite techniques and the wonderful Burlap and Bouquets range from Fancy Pants was just crying out for it!
There is so much in the collection packs that even after three layouts I still have ample stash left over for several more!
I started out cutting a frame from the floral wreath paper not wanting to waste anything I even cut out lots of little circles from the reverse side from the bits I’d cut away!
I added a few gems and some stickles to finish it off.
I was in full cutting mode when I came to the fresh bouquet paper! Even though the photograph I’d chosen to scrap was of my brother, I wasn’t about to forego using all those cut out flowers!!
Who says flowers have to be saved for feminine layouts!
My big brother is extremely tall and towers over all of us, so I couldn’t resist this title when I saw him next to these giraffe statues!
and finally I went to town on the chic burlap paper – I wanted to cut away some of the pattern to make it more delicate looking, and again I made use of my off-cuts by layering them over the grid with 3D foam pads to give a bit more interest to what I wanted to be a fairly uncluttered layout.
By making full use of the papers in this way I created three layouts with hardly any added embellishments, which can be useful if you’re creating on a budget! This collection pack certainly gives value for money and is a joy to work with!
So that’s all from me for now, hope I’ve inspired you to put those scissors to good use!!

Did you see all the fun posts I wrote while I was on vacation at the lake?
Here’s a list of posts in case you missed any – there are some gorgey photos there (thanks to the beauty of nature):
- Sounds of Relaxation from the Lake – First day at the lake house
- My Own Oatmeal Pot – Because oatmeal isn’t just for at-home breakfasts
- Cozy Lil Porch – Where I blogged from
- Veggie Family Dinner – the vegetarian dinner we whipped up for the fam
- Cherry Banana Short Stack – Pancake breakfast at the lake house
- Portable Blogging – How I uploaded my posts
- Scenes From the Lake House – wordless post, lots of photos
- Bailey’s First Canoe Trip – Did he love it or hate it??
- P-P-P-Poker Face – Poker Night at the lake house
- Butterflies at the Lake – Last lake eats + pretty butterflies
- Fresh Pasta Al Fresco – Italian dinner out to end our vacay
From old bread to gourmet breakfast!
Despite us taking our leftover bread to the lake, we STILL had some left when we got back! By this time, the bread was far from fresh but still good to eat.
What do you do with old, dry bread?
Well, there are a lot of things you can do but one of my favorites is to make FRENCH TOAST!
Ok, so maybe it’s not “gourmet” in the classic sense but it’s gourmet to me!
Especially topped with blueberries and sliced almonds, with a drizzle of real maple syrup.
I also recommend these uses for old bread:
- Toasting it
- Making a breakfast casserole
- Making a bread pudding dessert
- Making bread crumbs
- Making a panini
- Feeding it to the birds
What’s your favorite thing to do with old bread?

Everybody Street dir. Cheryl Dunn (2013)
I’m just done watching Everybody Street, a 2013 doc by Cheryl Dunn about the practice of street photography in general, and in particular the development of the artform over several decades in New York.
Dunn’s method is to present a series of photographers in turn, explore their methods, their motivations, and their work. The result is a neat mosaic of some strikingly different personalities, all drawn to turn lenses on the city they call home. Enjoyable as these pieces are, it may have profited the film to have had some dialogue between the various practitioners: to find out what they each think about what makes the others tick. There’s enough for the viewer to piece together where their various interests overlap or diverge, but in holding to the format of presenting one photographer at a time a conversation never develops between them; it feels a little like we’re seeing the surface of a dozen lives at the expense of really coming to understand any one.
If that seems uncharitable it is likely I was spoiled a little by 2010’s Bill Cunningham, New York: a remarkable documentary working similar territory, the magic of which comes when the film moves past Bill Cunningham as photographer and becomes interested in the man. If Dunn’s project here is solely to give an overview of New York street photography it is very well accomplished. That I came away with a list of names to look up, wanting to know more about some of the snappers than the film allows time for, can be read as either a positive or a negative.

HENRY TAYLOR: THE ART OF EMPATHY
5 March 2018
Speaking to a standing room-only crowd at the Society for Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago (SCA), the critically renowned Henry Taylor jocularly reminisced about the various subjects of his paintings.
Chuckling slightly when his slideshow of works brought up a complex layered image of a man resting in a chair with his head leaning slightly backward, Taylor noted, “I painted this one when my brother came over to my house and fell asleep in my chair.” True to his words, the painting evokes a warm sense of the familiar in the way only Taylor can achieve; slight abstractions of shapes so common and close draped in warm darker tones which seemingly depict the universal in the specific.
Taylor advanced the slide show to reveal stark black figures cloaked in white, assembled in a group around the rough shape of a car. He quickly clicked to the next image, a photograph of what appeared to be the same scene. Shifting between the two images, Taylor commented on how working from photographs can take so much longer than working from live models, “A painting that would take me two hours with a live model might take me ten with a photograph, and I’ll likely still be unhappy with the result.”
As one might guess, Taylor is a deeply empathetic man whose concern for his fellow humans is palpable in both his speech and his work. In a press release for his show at Carlos/Ishikawa, London, Taylor said that he tries to paint everyone, “I try to capture the moment I am with someone who could be my friend, a neighbor, a celebrity, or a homeless person.”[ii]
Remarkably, Taylor’s strokes have found a way to convey his deep empathy in an immediately aesthetic fashion. His unique style and profoundly evocative paintings have led to a mid-career retrospective at MoMA PS1, as well as many to solo and group shows across the world [iii], including participating in last year’s Whitney Biennial. After decades of practicing as an artist, Taylor is, at long last, receiving his due.
The Society for Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago (SCA) was founded in 1940 with the intention of promoting a deeper understanding of the art that defines our expanding culture and world. Monthly programs such as this event offer aesthetically minded individuals like those of 1000M the opportunity to hear artists from across the world discuss their work. Members of the SCA also participate in the process of acquiring new work for the Art Institute. More information on membership levels and SCA as an organization may be found here.

Elderly care is the assistance in a range of services designed to help aging people live as comfortable and as independently as possible in a place they call their own home.
How To Provide For Elderly People
When you have an aging loved one in your life, you want to do everything you can to care for them. Anxiety about aging increases as we get older and it is important to combat it with change that brings comfort and ease in life. Taking the steps necessary to provide your loved one with what they need to age, sets them up for ease in their older years. Aging comes with the need for more attention, more love, more understanding and more importantly quality elderly care.
Independence is vital in elderly care. Caregivers will help you enable to keep doing your day to day tasks and routines, providing assistance or simply companionship when required. Caring for the elderly includes but not limited to, domiciliary care, personal care, administering medication or mobility support, all while the elderly person remains happy and content in their own home.

Late last week, the Illinois state senate considered an amendment tacked onto to an unrelated bill that would have revised the Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act, a law that has been the subject of much debate and litigation in the past year. This amendment had the potential to drastically affect the current litany of lawsuits lodged against technology companies over their photo-tagging services. In the wake of heavy lobbying against the amendment by opponents to the change, and as the legislative session neared a close, the senator who proposed the amendment announced that it would, for now, be put on hold.
The use of facial recognition technology by certain web and mobile services with social aspects has become an emerging concern in the past year. Multiple social media companies have been ensnared in litigation over their use of facial recognition technology to provide certain photo-tagging and other related services, with plaintiffs seeking statutory damages under Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
Plaintiffs alleging violations of BIPA generally assert that certain web and mobile services have amassed users’ faceprints without the requisite notice and consent by using advanced facial recognition technology to extract biometric identifiers from uploaded user photographs. Defendants, in turn, have argued that BIPA expressly excludes from its coverage “photographs” and “any information derived from photographs” and that the statute’s use of the term “scan of hand or face geometry” was only meant to cover in-person scans of a person’s actual hand or face (not the scan of an uploaded photograph). Thus far, such defense arguments have been rejected at the early motion to dismiss phase of several ongoing disputes.
The amendment to BIPA (attached to a pending bill regarding unclaimed property) would shorten the reach of the law, echoing the interpretations of BIPA advanced by the various defendants in ongoing litigation. The BIPA amendment expressly excludes both physical and digital photographs from the definition of “biometric identifier” and most notably, limits the definition of “scan of hand or face geometry” to in-person scans (“data resulting from an in-person process whereby a part of the body is traversed by a detector or an electronic beam”). Such an amendment would effectively abrogate BIPA claims related to the collection of user faceprints by online services.
It is unclear whether this revision to the Illinois biometric privacy law will be taken up and debated when the Illinois legislature reconvenes.

Addressing residents of Loliondo in Ngorongoro district, Arusha region, at the ongoing election campaign rallies on Friday, the candidate said the project had taken into consideration all necessary precautions regarding environmental conservation. The road will not pass through the conservation area in the first place and all precautions have been taken to make sure that the wildlife is not affected, President Kikwete explained. The candidate was responding to voices raised by activists who have been opposing the idea of road construction to connect the two destinations, fearing that the project would scare animals and make them run away. Serengeti will not die and the project will not cause any destruction. The project has both social and economic advantages, bearing in mind that Arusha and Mara are the only two neighbouring regions without a tarmac road connecting them, he stated. In the recent past activists have raised concern and opposed construction of the road from Mto wa Mbu area through Ngarasero to Mugumu area in Mara region. The residents and activists were assured of the balanced approach in the implementation of the project, while it would not interfere with the wildlife conservation management. The government has also formed a task force that will advise the president over the construction of Musoma Arusha road through Serengeti National Park, following various views of both local and international organizations. According to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism and Natural Resources Dr Ladislaus Komba, the task force will report directly to the president. The government has for time to time dismissed growing fears by both local and international groups opposing the project, that it will interfere with the Serengeti eco-system. The construction of the road connecting Arusha-Musoma regions will not disturb the popular annual wildlife migration as claimed by the campaigners. Also Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) showed that the project was feasible before it was included in the governments 10 years Transport Sector Improvement Programme (TSIP). Commenting on rural electrification project, Mr Kikwete said Loliondo and other surrounding villages in Ngorongoro district would be supplied with power in the next few years, as contractor for the project had been identified. After Loliondo the candidate proceeded to Mugumu to continue with campaign rallies in Mara region. He was expected to address residents of Mugumu, Shirati, Ingri Juu, Utegi and Tarime township on Friday.

I dabble in so many different aspects of sewing, that sometimes its a while before I work on one specific thing or another. In other words, I can sometimes be a binge crafter. Its been a while since I’ve done foundation piecing, and I was reminded as I was working on my latest project just how delightful it is!
Of course, it helps to be working with such gorgeous fabrics! These are mostly Anna Maria Horner, with a Juliana Horner, a Cotton + Steel, and a Lotta Jansdotter print mixed in.
My favorite part of this bag is all the texture on the front side. After I pieced together the strips, I added some AMH ribbon and then used various decorative stitches from my Janome to embellish. For those large stitches, I used my go to Aurifil 28 wt in various colors. I love that stuff!
The back and strap are velveteen from AMH’s Field Study collection.
The interior print is from Honor Roll, and the wicker print pocket lining is from Juliana Horner’s debut collection, Rosette.
I so love working with Anna Maria’s bold, beautiful fabric. Her work was really my first love in the wonderful world of sewing, and I collect every single piece of fabric she designs. Her collections, both old and new, compliment each other so perfectly, yet they all have their own stories and distinctions. I hope she is doing this forever! What incredible talent she has been blessed with.
Who is your favorite designer and why? What sort of fabrics get you excited to sew?

After flagging off the city’s first Metro early this month, Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan will, on Monday, inaugurate two more transport infrastructure projects — the Kherwadi flyover on the Western Express Highway, and the final stretch of the showpiece Eastern Freeway.
Chavan will first inaugurate the Kherwadi junction flyover at 3 pm, and then at 3.30 pm, proceed to open for traffic the Eastern freeway stretch that can take commuters directly to the Chembur-Mankhurd link road, said Dilip Kawathkar, spokesperson of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The authority is the implementing agency for both the projects.
The 580-metre-long Kherwadi flyover will help south-bound traffic to skip the congestion at Kherwadi junction. With the completion of this flyover, which will have three lanes, south-bound commuters will now be able to have a signal-free ride on the entire Western Express Highway between Dahisar and Worli using a string of flyovers. The project is also among the fastest-completed flyovers in the city, with the construction having begun in November 2013. “The south-bound arm has been completed in just 226 days,” Kawathkar said. The MMRDA will, after securing traffic permissions, start the construction of the north-bound arm of the flyover. After consultation with the traffic department, the authority had decided to take up the construction of the Rs 21-crore flyover arm-by-arm to avoid grave inconvenience to commuters on the Western Express Highway, an arterial road.
The last stretch of the Rs 1,250-crore freeway that the chief minister will open, Panjarpol-Ghatkopar link road, is a 2.8-km elevated road that will enable motorists to travel from P D’Mello road in south Mumbai to the mouth of Ghatkopar in roughly 30 minutes. The road will ease traffic at the Panjarpol junction in Chembur where the freeway at present terminates.
The MMRDA had earlier expected to complete the elevated road last December, after inaugurating a freeway in June 2013. However, Panjarpol-Ghatkopar link road was delayed due to obstacles like transformer and a pumping station of the city’s civic body on the Panjarpol side. Similarly, work was delayed on the other side too due to a delay in acquiring land.

Over the last two years I've been clubbing on a semi consistent basis, at least once a month. One thing I've learned is the clubbing activities do not end just because the temperature drops below zero. Braving the cold is just something you'll have to do if you want to club during the winter months in MN.
Most of the clubs in Minneapolis are right on Hennepin Ave, which is right in the heart of the city. When the college students are back in school, they can be found filling the clubs around the city during the night. Some clubs even offer free drinks if you bring your college ID with you. This provides a perfect opportunity for broke college students to get out and explore the city.
Like most cities, good parking can be super expensive. Uber and Lyft can also be expensive, especially if you are starting a little further out. That is why you're willing to walk a little further for parking that is only $6.00 for the whole night. This is not too challenging during the summer months, but when it is cold, you have to think ahead.
If you're a college student, you do not want to spend money on a coat check, so you drop the coat and run. We've lost many girlfriends on the great dash to the club, mostly due to wearing heels. This is just what you have to do when you wanna go out on a budget. My top trick is this, wear a jacket you can easily tie around your waste and make it a look. This is only okay if you are going to a club that is a little more chill.
- Breakdown -
Park cheap, but not too far away.
Dress warm, but no coat.
DO NOT wear heels unless you are ready to fail.
Ignore the drunk crowds, just get to the club.
If you pregame in the parking garage, pop some mints before you leave.
Just pregame period, the liquor will keep you warm.
If there are not any cars coming, just cross, no one follows that rule here.
Have your IDs and money ready as soon as you are in line.
Once you are in, start dancing to warm up.
I may joke about this, but NEVER leave a fallen girl behind. Minneapolis can be very dangerous if you are alone. It can be perfectly safe, but it is best to travel in groups.
