A federal judge has ordered controversial Fort Lauderdale lawyer Norman Ganz to pay his share of $180,000 in sanctions and attend ethics classes for threatening, harassing and intimidating defendants in a racial discrimination lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Ryskamp, who last year dismissed the class-action lawsuit Ganz filed for a group of employees against Subway sandwich shops, is also reporting Ganz to the Florida Bar Association for further sanctions.
The Bar is already investigating Ganz for questionable conduct in two other workplace discrimination cases, including a $1.3 million racial discrimination settlement with Broward County Clerk of Courts Robert Lockwood.
Ryskamp also reversed the recommendation of a lower-court magistrate and decided to punish lawyer Neil Chonin and his firm who inherited the case from Ganz.
Chonin and the firm must help Ganz pay the $180,000 in sanctions to reimburse Subway for legal fees for continuing to press a lawsuit based on charges they knew to be groundless, Ryskamp said.
It was unclear on Tuesday how Ganz and Chonin would split the payment.
Chonin's attorney, Bruce Rogow, vowed to appeal.
Attorneys for Subway failed to properly file their sanctions demand, and Chonin's case, while unpopular, did not violate federal legal procedures, he said.
``No one can argue that Neil Chonin doesn't operate in good faith,'' Rogow said. ``He has a sterling reputation.''
Ganz's paralegal, Brian Nieman, who is also under investigation by the Bar for practicing law without a license, declined to comment, other than to say he and Ganz are not sure if they have leeway to appeal the ruling.
Most of Ganz's legal work is handled out of Nieman's $1 million house on Las Olas Isles overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Neighbors have complained to city code officials that Nieman is running a business out of the Aqua Vista Boulevard residence without the proper occupational licenses.
Nieman said he has hired attorney H. Dohn Williams to represent him in the code dispute. Williams could not be reached on Tuesday.

The State Journal-Register is reporting, “The Springfield Theatre Center is kicking off its landmark 70th season with the classic “Anything Goes.”
Originally produced in 1934, the musical takes place aboard a trans-Atlantic ocean liner called the SS American. Billy Crocker, a young Wall Street broker, and Reno Sweeney, an evangelist, are the main characters, who run into some trouble and crazy antics ensue, all set to the backdrop of Cole Porter music.
When the STC board was lining up their 70th season, they wanted to go back to some of the classics they’ve done in the past. Director Rich McCoy said that every year the audience requests “Anything Goes” to return…”

Hastings United were saddened to learn of the passing of former player and manager, Joe White, who passed away on 22nd February.
Joe, who was a powerful centre forward who played for Hastings United in the early 1960’s, was known for his formidable heading ability whilst leading the line for the ‘U’s.
Joe also represented Hollington United, Rye, Sidley, Bexhill and Ashford throughout his senior playing career before going on to manage our club, Hastings Town in the mid 1980’s.
The White family history at the football club is vast with Joe’s father William representing the club in the 1920’s (known as Rock N Nore), two of Joe’s sons, Dean & Glyn, have both played for the football club with Dean our current Director of Football managing the club between 1992-95 and again 1997-2000, whilst Glyn has overseen much of the club’s academy progress over the past 6 years.
Ben White, Joe’s grandson has represented the club and most recently his 16 year old great grandson Will White, made his debut for the First Team away to Chichester City in the Velocity Sports Trophy this season.
Joe is also the uncle of the club’s all time record appearance and goalscorer, Terry White.
Whilst the club were informed of Joe’s passing earlier, we respected the families wishes and private time before posting this tribute to a club and local football legend.
We will be holding a minutes applause before the kick off of today’s game against Whitstable with many of Joe’s
close family attending the game as guests of the club.
Joe’s funeral will take place on Tuesday 24th March at 11:45am at the Hastings Crematorium followed by the wake at Hastings United Sports and Social Club at 1pm.
The family have requested that any donations be made to The Brown Bread Horse Rescue Centre in Battle.

Credited as a founder of the American Royal Horse Show, Tom Bass was lauded for his showmanship skills. For a half century, Bass trained thousands of horses to prance, bow, curtsy, dance, do the cakewalk, and dozens of other tricks.
Bass was born a slave in 1859 in Columbia, Missouri. He moved to Mexico, Missouri, after the Civil War, where he found work as a stable boy. Bass eventually became a trainer and established a reputation for training even the most wild, violent horses.
A true lover of horses, Bass never beat horses and rarely raised his voice. He even invented (but refused to patent) a special bit that is still in use today to ease the pain that horses endure during training.
Bass moved to Kansas City in 1893 where he trained and rode some of the world's most famous horses. A suggestion made by Bass in 1894 led to the formation of Kansas City's first horse show, the American Royal. As a member of the fire department advisory committee on horses, he suggested sponsoring a horse show to raise funds to send Fire Chief George C. Hale to Europe to study types of fire horses.
In his three years in Kansas City, he trained many of the city's wealthiest citizens, including Loula Long Combs. While in Kansas City, Bass also received an invitation by Queen Victoria in 1897 to attend London's diamond jubilee with his famous horse, Miss Rex. He declined the invitation due to his fear of traveling across the ocean.
Bass performed before U.S. Presidents Cleveland, McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, and Coolidge. He was also honored by Queen Marie of Romania at the St. Louis Horse Show. During his career, he won competitions at every horse show in the country, earned more than 2,000 blue ribbons, and won championships at two world's fairs. For many years, he was the only African American to exhibit at the American Royal Horse Show, where audiences remembered him as the high-hatted rider of Belle Beach, his most famous mare. Bass' grave marker in Mexico, Missouri, displays a picture of him riding Belle.

The 21st century is the moment in which climate change is such that high-temperature records are being reached with increasing frequency and glaciers are perishing, even when they grow it is entirely good news. Now NASA has published an analysis in which it shows how the thickest glacier on the planet is also melting in the last five years.
As we said, in recent years we are seeing how global warming is evident in part by how it affects glaciers, with facts like the events that emerge in Swiss glaciers. What they have now shown is how the Taku Glacier in Alaska has grown for nearly 50 years to decreasing its mass.
A picture is worth (or should be worth) more than a thousand words
Although the alarm about global warming is not shared by everyone (not even among the scientific community), there are facts that should at least make us think. The thaws or breaks of large ice fragments are not always a consequence of climate change, but the disappearance of entire glaciers such as Okjökull in Iceland last July (now … there is a plaque) is the least devastating news.
What the scientists of the NASA Earth Observatory now show us is the progressive waning of the Taku Glacier, showing the images taken from August 2014 to August 2019 in a recently presented work. Taku is part of the 20 largest ice field glaciers in that region and one of the thickest on the planet, with a thickness of 1,480 meters.
The photographs show how, since Taku (1946) is being observed, the ice shelves that touch the river are shrinking for the first time in those 50 years. It is not a dramatic reduction yet, but according to the glaciologist Mauri Pelto (author of the work that has been studying that ice field for 30 years), these signs of decline arrive 80 years before the predictions, being Taku the only area that had not shown signs of waning of the 250 that the glaciologist has studied.
Until 1988, the Taku glacier had been gaining mass more or less at 0.3 meters per year, decreasing the pace from that point. The growth stopped between 2013 and 2018, reducing as of 2014. Changes that, according to Pelto, coincide with one of the warmest July ever recorded.
Another notch in the climate change record book
Antarctica is currently melting three times faster than 25 years ago, losing according to NASA about 127 gigatons (an extraordinary volume measure equivalent to 1,000 million tons) per year. There are already many data that indicate the severity of climate change, with the risk that it is one of that serious news that ends up being normalized by abundance while there is still, in an explainable way, denialism.
Scientists try to think of solutions such as the construction of a gigantic underwater frozen wall, but these are not usually feasible alternatives, in fact, 11,000 scientists recently said that what needs to be done is “to be less people”. Now we have another milestone in the record of lost battles that we carry with what we ourselves have created, we will see if at any time the reaction can at least slow the pace of these sad records.

We've had IRC for every major event of the 2008 election dating back to the first caucuses and primaries, and through the presidential and vice-presidential debates.
So it seems fitting that we have one final IRC chat for this season, as we share information, points of view, scandals and touching moments of the last day of this election -- hopefully with a happy ending, for as many of us as possible.
See you in the chatroom!
Watch out iPhone, here come the netbooks.
For some people, even today's relatively bulky netbook computers are replacements for iPhones. That's what happened for me. The day I got my Eee PC 901 in July was when I more or less stopped using my iPhone as a computer.
But a netbook with Skype and a service plan is a lot like a cell phone, but unlike Apple's offering, it runs an OS with a wealth of software and developer know-how that is wide open. There's no gatekeeper who gets to say who can and can't put whatever software they want on a netbook.
And watch out Google, it beats Android too -- again so many more people know how to program Windows, it runs everything. For that reason I'm not running out to buy an Android phone, but I already own two netbooks.
Another bet I'd make -- the netbooks are going to shrink to phone size. You can see the space being made in the Asus product line. They're dropping the 7-inch screens in favor of the 10-inch ones, the keyboards on the 7-inch models aren't very usable, but they'll surely have a netbook form factor the size of a cell phone that plugs into a USB port on my laptop-like netbook. And each will cost $99 with a service plan, and they've lovely computers.
This is the future.
"The first 16 presidents could have owned Barack Obama as property." -- Jonathan Alter, on MSNBC this morning.
Never thought of it that way, but it's true.
I don't think reporters should pass on misleading stories. It would be better to act as a firewall, a defense against obvious campaign lies. It should be especially easy when they charges are aimed at the media itself.
Example. Sarah Palin, in the last days of the campaign, is saying that the SF Chronicle withheld comments from Obama saying he would "bankrupt the coal industry."
The statement she's referring to was made in January, when Obama was still pretty green, and spoke perhaps a little too directly, with too much of truth. I don't think he said he would or wanted to bankrupt the coal industry, rather that he wanted to do something to reverse global warming. Almost anything we do to keep this planet habitable by our species will make it harder for the coal industry, which by definition pumps carbon to the atmosphere. Coal is carbon, pure and simple, and when you burn it, it goes into the atmosphere. That should be expensive. We should encourage development of technology that generates electricity without doing that.
Anyway, the Chronicle says it published the comments in print and as full video. I think MSNBC should check that out before passing through the Palin charge without comment. You don't have to call her a liar, you could just ignore the statement.
SF Chronicle: Palin suggests Chronicle withheld Obama remarks.
In any case, it's gratifying in the final days of the campaign to see the media not getting totally obsessed with other obvious smears. It's just the extremes in the blogosphere that are focusing on the crazy stuff. Maybe that could be the norm in political coverage.

Scratch one name off the list for Uber's CEO search.
Meg Whitman, the CEO of HPE who has been reported to be among the final candidates in the running to lead Uber, said on Thursday that she is not planning to change jobs.
"I am not going anywhere," Whitman tweeted, noting that the "speculation of my future has become a distraction" in a series of tweets late Thursday.
"Uber's CEO will not be Meg Whitman," she said.
The comments come as Uber narrows down the list of finalists to take the reins of the ride-hailing company, which has been without a CEO since cofounder Travis Kalanick resigned in June after a series of controversies.
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Whitman was among a group of less than six candidates still in the running for the top job, with a decision expected by September. And on Thursday Bloomberg reported that GE's outgoing CEO Jeff Immelt was also on the short list, with the company's board of directors due to meet on Thursday evening to discuss the search process and the final candidates.
Uber is the world's most valuable privately held tech startup, with a $69 billion valuation.
But the company has been rocked by several months of bad news and controversies, including allegations of sexual discrimination inside the company, reports of a toxic work culture and a high profile lawsuit in which the company stands accused of using stolen technology.
Here are Whitman's tweets disavowing any intention of moving to Uber:

My dream was not as good as the reality. For how could I have ever dreamt I could be so lucky to not only see that, but to include the hugely talented Glenn Gregory from Heaven 17, who has an amazing voice. I see Heaven 17 a lot, and have heard Glenn sing ‘Boys Keep Swinging’ so I had huge confidence that he could do this along with the Holy Holy band. I also have to mention Steve Norman, a huge talent that you probably know best from being in Spandau Ballet. He is stylish and talented playing sax and guitar and is part of the band. Paul Cuddeford rocked his guitar too. Add to this Mick Ronson’s sister Maggi and Lisa Ronson too…and you have the makings of a very special night.I was already beyond excited for this gig. The first time ever that this legendary group of people will come together to perform ‘The Man Who Sold The World’ in its entirety.
I headed up to the Famous Cock (yes it’s a pub opposite the Garage venue) and counted the amount of Bowie T shirts! What a fantastic group of people with exceptional taste in music.There was a massive queue to get in and I was surprised at how small the venue was. Everyone crowded in and the excitement grew. It was hot. It was sweaty. No one cared. We all knew we were about to witness history being made. Just those first few notes of Width of a Circle and I knew I was where I belonged.
I know I am writing a review but it is so hard to explain to those who did not experience it how life changing it was.And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Marc Almond from Soft Cell comes on to sing ‘After all’. Now I have a story about Marc. Many years ago I wrote to Jim’ll fix it to ask to meet him. I have never seen him sing live and he is one of very few people I had on my list that I hadn’t seen. I was almost in tears at his amazing performance. I cannot say enough thank you’s to whomever made it possible for him to be there…but thank you from me. I knew he was going to do the Shepherds Bush gig next week, but not heard he was doing this one. I was blown away.
Lisa Ronson came on to do ‘Lady Stardust’ and boy can that girl sing. Not only is she beautiful and looked stunning in her dress, but she can really sing and did an amazing version. Can I go so far as to say it was better than Bowie’s? (I am trying hard not to be blasphemous) but probably yes. She was amazing.Glenn is so good. Glenn can deliver. Each song was sung with passion and love. Glenn is a big Bowie fan himself and really had the crowd going. Glenn also brings his great sense of humour to the show. When he asked the band what was the next song, I shouted out ‘Five years’. He winked at me and said they weren’t doing that one and said let’s do ‘let me go’ instead. ‘Oh no wrong gig’ he joked! I had been lucky enough to hear a private practice of Five Years and Glenn knows it is one of my all-time favourites, so I did have an inkling they were going to do it.
Of course I cannot talk about this gig and not mention two of the legends on that stage. I cannot tell you enough how impressed I was with Woody’s drumming. He really can give it some! He seems a humble person and that just made us love him all the more.And of course the other legend, Tony Visconti. He can sure play Bass and has a great sense of humour too. I was so chuffed when he blew me a kiss. I felt quite special.
But the whole gig was special. You don’t get gigs like this very often. I had already said that in my interview a few weeks ago. I told you all to buy a ticket. If you didn’t you only have yourself to blame for missing not only the gig of the year…but the gig of a lifetime!Thanks to Mark for the photo!

BT have launched NGT, a revamped version of their text relay service which allows people with speech or hearing impairments to hold real time phone conversations.
Among the improvements is the capacity to use the text relay on smart mobile phones, which marks a step forward in accessibility.
Next Generation Text (NGT) uses relay assistants as intermediaries to convert speech to text or text to speech. This allows for a number of different ways to communicate depending on the needs of the individual:
The service comes after the communications authority Ofcom decided in October 2012 that the existing text relay service had to be improved.
According to Ofcom, there had to be enhancement of the service to make phone calls faster and more easily accessible for people with speech and hearing difficulties.
BT has since gone about making such improvements to its existing service and NGT is the result.
The new service includes the simultaneous combination of text over the internet and speech via phone line, which means shorter pauses between each users' part of the conversation.
The flow of the conversation is also improved by the addition of being able to interject. Previously, typing or saying 'go ahead' was required after each part of the exchange.
The next generation of text relay is also more affordable and functional. To use the previous service required a textphone - these were expensive at £300, not easily portable and required connection to a phone socket.
Whilst it is still possible to use these devices, the new generation text service only requires a smart phone or smart device that is capable of connecting to the internet and supporting a voice call at the same time. The free app will make it possible to hold text relay phone calls whilst on the go.
Also, using text relay no longer requires having a different number with a 18002 prefix. Text users will be able to link existing numbers to TextNumbers which have the same number of digits as standard telephone numbers and are charged at the same rates.
The real question is whether or not these new functions will help to improve inclusivity toward people with speech and hearing impairments.
Charlie Swinbourne, Editor of The Limping Chicken, was particularly impressed that the service no longer required the use of a longer number. He told us that being able to give out standard length phone numbers instead of having to use a prefix is a
simple but big thing.
According to Swinbourne, having numbers with prefixes can lead to
all kinds of problems, such as people assuming a number would charge a premium rate and not phoning the deaf person.
Another of the key developments of the new service is that it is now possible to make relay calls on the move.
Action on Hearing Loss told us that not being restricted to making relay calls on landlines is something that will definitely bring inclusivity toward those who are deaf.
It said that, in general, it was
fully supportive of the launch of the service and believes it will bring huge benefits for people with hearing loss.
Whilst there has been general support and praise for the updated service, some have criticised its punctuality.
Originally, in October 2012, Ofcom gave UK landline and mobile providers until the 18 April 2014 to provide their customers with a text relay service that complied with certain performance targets. The proposed NGT model did comply with these targets, but BT were not able to release it until the 6th of this month.
Just days before it was originally intended to be released, BT said that it would have to withhold the release of NGT due to technical difficulties regarding the connection of emergency calls.
Charlie Swinbourne raised his frustration over the lateness of the service, saying that
it really could have come along sooner. The service was delayed and in the meantime, deaf people have been using alternative services. It feels like the telecoms industry is making slow progress with giving deaf people access to communications compared to the rate of technological change overall.
Ofcom is investigating the reasons for its delay and will publish its findings later this year.

- We were so excited to be able to kick the ball once again in international competitions, says Malika-e-Noor.
- I always knew that sooner or later football will be resumed and I had to keep myself prepared, says footballer.
- Pakistan’s performance against India was very much improved, says vice-captain of Pakistan women’s football team.
Karachi: It was just not another game for players of Pakistan women football team when they stepped in for their SAFF Cup match against India on Wednesday in Kathmandu. It was, indeed, a historic moment for them as the match was first international outing for them after a gap of 8 years.
Before Wednesday’s game against India, Pakistan had last played an international game in 2017. Only 7 members of that squad were able to find a place in national team in 2022. Among them, one was Malika-e-Noor.
In an exclusive interview to Geo News from Nepal, Malika said that the feeling of being back on field cannot be describe in words.
“We were eagerly waiting for this moment, we were so excited to be able to kick the ball once again in international competitions, that feeling when we entered the field for our first match cannot be explained in words,” said the 28-year-old footballer who is also the vice-captain of Pakistan women’s football team.
“Things in 2014 started to get on track but suddenly it all was stopped, we all were very hurt due to ban on Pakistan Football and wanted to tell the world thru our performances that it was so unfair to us,” she added.
Malika-e-Noor said that a lot has changed in last eight years, many of her teammates had quit football for other careers and many had moved on with their lives.
“Even my life has changed a lot too, I’ve completed my family, I am now a mother of two but one thing which cannot be taken away from me – was football, it is still there,” she said.
“I always knew that sooner or later football will be resumed and I had to keep myself prepared. I did my training to keep myself fit, I started playing in Futsol so that I do not lose my rhythm, I kept myself involved with sports. Top of all, my family supported me a lot and that’s why I am here, playing for Pakistan,” Malika added.
She admitted that there’s still a lot to be done as far as her rhythm in concerned but aimed to regain her standard quicker.
Malika, mother of a 3-year-old and an 18-month-old, further said that being mother is a challenge but if one can manage to keep the balance then there’s nothing impossible.
She insisted that just like “working mothers” it is important to normalize “Athlete Mothers” in our society.
Replying to a question, the talented footballer said that Pakistan’s performance against India was very much improved from what it used to be in past.
“This is result of just one month’s training. In past India used to beat us by 12 goals, 8 goals but now we were able to restrict them to only three goals, everyone saw that our team has produced better football than past and gave a message that we are not here just to participate, but we are here to make a difference,” she said.
“If we are provided better facilities and football opportunities throughout the year than there’s no reason, why can’t we beat other teams in days to come,” Malika expressed.
For now, Malika is focused on Pakistan’s next match against Bangladesh.
“The way we played against India has given us the confidence and I am very hopeful of a better result in match against Bangladesh. We are ready for our next game,” she concluded.


A.P. Moller-Maersk (Maersk) has indicated that ballast water treatment system (BWTS) based on mechanical filtration and disinfection with UV and ozone represents a good solution for container vessel retrofits. Both ozone water treatment and UV are excellant disinfection technologies for a wide range of applications.
Maersk says that the containerization of the BWTS is a viable way of overcoming space problems in crowded engine rooms as well as it gives the advantage of easy and short installation time.
The system works in fresh, brackish, or salt water and can provide flow rates up to 500 cubic meters per hour in a 20-foot container or and up to 3,000 cubic meters per hour in a configuration with two 40-foot containers placed on top of each other.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has called on ship owners to adopt treatment technologies to prevent the spread of invasive species, although the 2004 convention on the issue has not yet received enough support to go into force.
Maersk Line is the global containerized division of the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group. The first Maersk Line vessel sailed in 1904 and has become the world’s largest ocean carrier.

Carringer, Robert L. "Citizen Kane." Journal of Aesthetic Education, Vol. 9, No. 2, Special Issue: Film IV: Eight Study Guides (Apr., 1975), pp. 32-49
This article explores the technical cinematic innovations that affect the composition of Welles's scenes.
In his essay on Citizen Kane, Robert Carringer describes this history of what many critics consider Orson Welles’s (and perhaps all of history’s) greatest film. Mr. Carringer begins by revealing some biographical information of Welles and the technical innovations that he pioneered in the film (all serving to draw closer attention to the acting). Most notably he comments on Welles’s use of unexpected ultra-low angles, his preference of using single long takes without intercutting, and the extreme depth of field that is used to bring every part of the scenes into focus. Carringer moves on to write about the validity of comparisons that critics have made of the similarity of the character of Kane to notorious personalities of the day, including most notably newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Mr. Carringer also covers Orson Welles’s career transformation from radio to cinema, and he ends the essay describing the plot and character of the film.
This article fantastically reveals some of Welles’s technical cinematic techniques, specifically the use of large depth of field. The director chose to break normal filmmaking conventions in order to achieve certain new dramatic effects. The use of extraordinary depth of field shots was quite unorthodox considering the technology available at the time. The camera aperture has to be very small to achieve this effect and therefore Welles had to use extremely fast film stock as well as special lights and lenses in order to let in as much light as possible. A larger depth of field eliminates the need for editing to break the dramatic space into multiple centers and it also allows for long, drawn out single-take shots. As items from infinity to within a few inches of the lens were all in focus, this enticed Welles to compose his scenes such that the audience’s attention would be drawn to characters entering from far away and off screen. An example is the flashback scene taken from the diary of Kane’s childhood. The shot frames 4 characters: Mary Kane signing away her son, Thatcher busily pushing the papers to her, Jim Kane pacing in the middle ground, and Charles, obliviously playing outdoors in the snow, seen through the window. This unusual effect helped to revolutionize film cinema and is taken for granted by future generations.

Congo: The Western Heart of Darkness

"I'm interested in land not [black people]." Cecil Rhodes
Rarely has Western savagery been more destructive than in the Congo. After 115 years of Belgian colonialism and U.S. neo-colonialism, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) today is a war-ravaged, balkanized country where an incredible 2.5 million people have died during the last 2 ½ years and 2.3 million have been displaced. OXFAM called this "the world's biggest humanitarian disaster." The catastrophic war which began in August 1998 has been imposed on the long-suffering Congolese by U.S. proxies Rwanda and Uganda which have occupied the eastern half of the Congo and are plundering and looting it with most of the proceeds going to the West.

Lake Winnebago median real estate price is $506,042, which is more expensive than 94.7% of the neighborhoods in Missouri and 73.9% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Lake Winnebago is currently $2,494, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 96.9% of the neighborhoods in Missouri.
Lake Winnebago is a rural neighborhood (based on population density) located in Greenwood, Missouri.
Lake Winnebago real estate is primarily made up of medium sized (three or four bedroom) to large (four, five or more bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Most of the residential real estate is owner occupied. Many of the residences in the Lake Winnebago neighborhood are established but not old, having been built between 1970 and 1999. A number of residences were also built between 2000 and the present.
In Lake Winnebago, the current vacancy rate is 3.2%, which is a lower rate of vacancies than 80.4% of all neighborhoods in the U.S. This means that the housing supply in Lake Winnebago is very tight compared to the demand for property here.
The way a neighborhood looks and feels when you walk or drive around it, from its setting, its buildings, and its flavor, can make all the difference. This neighborhood has some really cool things about the way it looks and feels as revealed by NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research. This might include anything from the housing stock to the types of households living here to how people get around.
Of note is NeighborhoodScout's research finding that the Lake Winnebago neighborhood has some of the lowest rates of children living in poverty of any neighborhood in the United States. In a nation where approximately 1 in 4 children are living in poverty, the Lake Winnebago community truly stands out from the rest in this regard.
In addition, priests and therapists would like to think they know the secrets to a truly successful marriage, but according to NeighborhoodScout's research, the folks of the Lake Winnebago neighborhood may actually hold the key. 71.7% of its residents are married, which is a higher percentage than is found in 98.5% of the neighborhoods in America.
Also, a majority of the adults in the Lake Winnebago neighborhood are wealthy and educated executives. They own stately homes that tend to maintain high real estate appreciation rates. Their upper-level careers keep them busy, but allow them to live comfortably. If you're an executive and want to keep similar company, consider settling in this neighborhood, rated as an executive lifestyle "best choice" neighborhood for Missouri by NeighborhoodScout's analysis, which rated it as better for executive lifestyles than 98.0% of the neighborhoods in Missouri. In addition to being an excellent choice for highly educated executives, this neighborhood is also a very good choice for families with school-aged children and urban sophisticates.
Owner-occupied real estate dominates the Lake Winnebago neighborhood. In fact, according to NeighborhoodScout research, the percentage of residential real estate occupied by its owner is higher here than in 98.2% of neighborhoods in America.
In addition, some neighborhoods are made up of apartments. Some consist of row houses, and most - by far - consist of a mixture of housing types. But the Lake Winnebago neighborhood stands out due to the total dominance of detached, single-family homes here. There are nearly no other types of residential real estate in the neighborhood. In fact, this neighborhood has a higher proportion of single-family homes in its real estate stock than 96.5% of all American neighborhoods.
Did you know that the Lake Winnebago neighborhood has more Czechoslovakian and Yugoslav ancestry people living in it than nearly any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 1.0% of this neighborhood's residents have Czechoslovakian ancestry and 0.9% have Yugoslav ancestry.
Lake Winnebago is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 1.8% of its residents five years old and above primarily speak Native American languages at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher than 98.9% of the neighborhoods in America.
How wealthy a neighborhood is, from very wealthy, to middle income, to low income is very formative with regard to the personality and character of a neighborhood. Equally important is the rate of people, particularly children, who live below the federal poverty line. In some wealthy gated communities, the areas immediately surrounding can have high rates of childhood poverty, which indicates other social issues. NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals both aspects of income and poverty for this neighborhood.
The neighbors in the Lake Winnebago neighborhood in Greenwood are wealthy, making it among the 15% highest income neighborhoods in America. NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis reveals that this neighborhood has a higher income than 93.9% of the neighborhoods in America. In addition, 0.0% of the children seventeen and under living in this neighborhood are living below the federal poverty line, which is a lower rate of childhood poverty than is found in 100.0% of America's neighborhoods.
The old saying "you are what you eat" is true. But it is also true that you are what you do for a living. The types of occupations your neighbors have shape their character, and together as a group, their collective occupations shape the culture of a place.
In the Lake Winnebago neighborhood, 51.9% of the working population is employed in executive, management, and professional occupations. The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is sales and service jobs, from major sales accounts, to working in fast food restaurants, with 20.8% of the residents employed. Other residents here are employed in manufacturing and laborer occupations (18.5%), and 8.7% in clerical, assistant, and tech support occupations.
The most common language spoken in the Lake Winnebago neighborhood is English, spoken by 97.4% of households.
Culture is shared learned behavior. We learn it from our parents, their parents, our houses of worship, and much of our culture – our learned behavior – comes from our ancestors. That is why ancestry and ethnicity can be so interesting and important to understand: places with concentrations of people of one or more ancestries often express those shared learned behaviors and this gives each neighborhood its own culture. Even different neighborhoods in the same city can have drastically different cultures.
In the Lake Winnebago neighborhood in Greenwood, MO, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as German (22.9%). There are also a number of people of English ancestry (15.4%), and residents who report Irish roots (11.9%), and some of the residents are also of Italian ancestry (5.7%), along with some French ancestry residents (4.9%), among others.
How you get to work – car, bus, train or other means – and how much of your day it takes to do so is a large quality of life and financial issue. Especially with gasoline prices rising and expected to continue doing so, the length and means of one's commute can be a financial burden. Some neighborhoods are physically located so that many residents have to drive in their own car, others are set up so many walk to work, or can take a train, bus, or bike. The greatest number of commuters in Lake Winnebago neighborhood spend between 30 and 45 minutes commuting one-way to work (30.8% of working residents), which is at or a bit above the average length of a commute across all U.S. neighborhoods.
Here most residents (88.9%) drive alone in a private automobile to get to work. In a neighborhood like this, as in most of the nation, many residents find owning a car useful for getting to work.

Another New Jersey athlete making big news this week
Last week, Ross Colton of Robbinsville scored the winning goal in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals as a rookie for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This weekend another standout New Jersey athlete made big news by being drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the MLB draft in Denver, Colorado.
Chase Petty is a standout star pitcher for Mainland Regional High School in Linwood. He was selected as the 26th pick and it's the first time a pitcher was drafted in the first round in six years. He's known for his "electric" velocity.
The 18-year-old got some support and encouragement from another South Jersey native who made it to the big league — Mike Trout. Trout is the Vineland native and MLB superstar who was drafted in the first round by the Angels in 2009.
Chase Petty may not be a household name yet, but he's a big deal in South Jersey scholastic sports circles. Lots of local sports fans have had their eyes on him for a long time as they watched him dominate at Mainland Regional.
Any high school pitcher that can throw a baseball over 100 mph is gonna attract some attention far beyond the borders of New Jersey.
He's committed to attend the University of Florida in the fall and we wish Chase all the luck in the world. Chase Petty looks to be destined to join the ranks of other famous standouts in sports and entertainment from the Garden State.
The post above reflects the thoughts and observations of New Jersey 101.5 talk show host Dennis Malloy. Any opinions expressed are Dennis Malloy's own.


NetForChoice – The Leading Data Center Company in India
Data centers are physical places where companies used to store business-critical applications and data. As you evolve from centralized on-premises facilities to edge deployments and public cloud services, it is important to think long term about how to maintain reliability and safety.
Data centers vary in size from small server rooms to geographically dispersed building blocks. But they have one thing in common, it is an important business asset that companies always invest in data centers to build on the latest advancements: Networking, Computing, and Storage Technologies.
NetForChoice – India’s Largest Data Center Company
NetForChoice offers the best, reliable, secure and affordable Tier 4 Data Center Services: Windows Dedicated Servers, Virtual Private Servers, Backup, Compliance, Linux Server Hosting, Managed Security, Disaster Recovery, Network Access, Colocation Hosting, and storage and variety by providing world-class services to customers all over the world.
NFC meets the mission-critical needs of brands and promotes a unique blend of sizes. Physical security, certification, large customer base service provider access, and 99.995% proven uptime. It is the only Tier 4 data center company in India.
Overview of NFC Leading Data Center Company
Data centers are often referred to as one thing, but in reality Data centers consist of several technical components. These can be divided into three types:
- Computer: Memory and processing power to run applications. It is usually served by high-end servers.
- Storage: Critical corporate data is typically stored in data centers and multiple backups are made on media ranging from tapes to solid-state drives.
- Networking: External connections of data center components such as routers, switches, and application delivery controllers.
Industry standards come from organizations such as the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and the Uptime Institute to help design, build, and maintain data centers. For example, the Uptime Institute defines four tiers:
- Tier I: Tier 1 data centers have a single path for power and cooling with very few redundant components. The expected uptime is 99.671% (28.8 hours of downtime per year).
- Tier II: Tier 2 data centers have a single path for power and cooling as well as several spare and backup components. Expected uptime is 99.741% (22 hours of downtime per year).
- Tier III: Tier 3 data centers have multiple paths for power and cooling and install the system for updates and maintenance without being offline. Expected uptime is 99.982% (1.6 hours downtime per year).
- Tier IV: Tier 4 data centers are built to be completely fault-tolerant with redundancy for all components. Expected uptime is 99.995% (26.3 minutes of downtime per year).
Note: NFC offers Tier 4 and Tier 3 data centers to all clients.
Different Types of NetForChoice Data Centers
Modern data centers have evolved from facilities with on-premises infrastructure to facilities that connect cloud infrastructure and on-premises systems where networks, applications, and workloads are replicated, virtual in multiple private and public clouds.
- In general Enterprise Data Centers are created and used by a single organization for their own internal purposes. These are common among tech giants.
- An Colocation Data Center acts as a type of rental property that makes the data center space and resources available to those who are willing to rent.
- Managed Services Data Centers provide data storage, processing, and other services. as a third person which serves customers directly.
- Cloud Data Centers are decentralized and offered to customers with all managed services with low cost.
Added Advantageous of NFC Data Centers
Also know some other benefits of NFC data centers:
Data Center Computing: Servers are data center main tools. On the server the processing and memory used to run applications can be physical, virtual, distributed between containers or distributed between remote nodes in the edge computing model. The data center should use the best processor for the job. General-purpose CPUs may not be the best choice for solving artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) problems.
Data Center Storage: Data centers host a large number of critical data for both their own purposes and customer needs. Reducing storage costs increases the amount of storage space that can be used for local, remote, or both backups. Advances in non-volatile storage media have reduced data access times. Software-defined storage technologies also improve employee efficiency in managing storage systems.
Data Center Networks: Data center networking equipment consists of cables, switches, routers, and firewalls that connect servers to each other and to the outside world. Well configured and structured you can handle heavy traffic without compromising on performance. A typical three-level network topology consists of a master switch at the edge that connects the data center to the internet and an intermediate aggregation layer that connects the core to the access level where the server is located. Advances in hyperscale and software defined network security bring cloud-scale agility and scalability to on-premises networks.
Data Center Security: In addition to building a security system to support the above data center facilities, a DC network requires a complete zero reliability analysis that is included in the data center firewall DC design. Modern IPS WAF data access control and web application and equivalent protection API (WAAP) systems can be properly identified and scaled as needed to meet the needs of data center networks. It is important to understand the security measures they use for their DCs. Invest in the highest level of security to keep your data safe.
Joining NetForChoice will benefit from a strong relationship with CtrlS, the largest Tier-IV data center provider in Asia. Access all premium services in your data center with NFC reliability and ease of use.

- jLast edited 5/26/23I eat a plant based diet and still get papa John's veggie pizza with no cheese. Their garlic sauce is accidentally vegan, too. I'm sure any pizza establishment will make their pizza without cheese. Heck, when I was home (Chicago), visiting family last summer, I got a deep dish pizza with no cheese and it was amazing! Hit all those comforts I remembered from childhood, when I used to eat everything.

The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday lifted all legal obstacles to the presidential run of Sen. Grace Poe, the first foundling to seek the country’s highest post.
With a vote of 9-6, the High Court said the Commission on Elections (Comelec) committed grave abuse of discretion when it disqualified Poe on the ground that she is not a natural-born Filipino.
Those who voted in favor of Poe were Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justices Presbitero Velasco Jr., Diosdado Peralta, Lucas Bersamin, Jose Mendoza, Francis Jardeleza, Marvic Leonen, Benjamin Caguioa and Jose Portugal Perez.
Associate Justices Mariano del Castillo, Antonio Carpio, Teresita Leonardo-de Castro, Arturo Brion, Bienvenido Reyes and Estela Perlas-Bernabe voted to disqualify the senator.
Perez was appointed the new ponencia since his 45-page separate dissenting opinion has become the majority ruling.
It will be the valedictory decision of Perez who is set to retire in December.
Del Castillo, the original ponente, pushed for Poe’s disqualification.
Two Comelec cases reached the SC–the complaints filed by Estrella Elamparo and Francisco Tatad, Antonio Contreras and Amado Valdez.
Another case against Poe is pending at the High Court–a petition for certiorari filed by Rizalito David who questioned the decision of the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) upholding Poe’s candidacy.
With the SC ruling on Tuesday, however, David’s petition may also be dismissed as it also questioned Poe’s citizenship.
Tatad refused to issue a statement on the high tribunal’s decision.
He said the National Transformation Council, made up of non-politically affiliated civic leaders and Catholic bishops and clergy, met Tuesday afternoon in Butuan City (Agusan del Sur) to discuss the issue.
Victory for all
Poe said the SC ruling is not only her victory but also of the millions of Filipinos who have been longing for a government that has sincere concern for the people.
While the decision is not yet final, she noted, there is now a big chance for the country to have real change and a government that will listen and provide the needs of its constituents.
“Ako po ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa ating mga kababayan na hindi bumitiw at hindi nawalan ng tiwala at higit sa lahat ay nagdasal at nanalangin hindi lamang para sa akin kung hindi para sa hustisya [I wholeheartedly thank our countrymen who did not let go and who did not lose hope and who prayed not only for me but for justice],” Poe said in an interview with reporters on her way to the International Women’s Day celebration in Manila hosted by party-list group Gabriela.
She also thanked the High Court for choosing to side with the truth, justice and protection of the oppressed.
“To those who do not know their real parents but grew up with integrity and determination, we now have a chance to aspire big. But most important, to our poor and oppressed countrymen, this will be my mission: The government should protect and treat everyone equally,” the senator said.
Poe broke into tears upon learning of the SC decision.
Vendors who saw her when she arrived at Quiapo Church noticed that her eyes were swollen from crying.
The senator said her vehicle was approaching the church when she learned about the good news so she decided to make a brief stop at the church to pray before proceeding to the rally.
The Comelec said it respects the SC ruling.
“We have voted on that. Each one of us has our own stand on the matter. But after all that was said and done, I think we did our part, we did our job, and the Supreme Court has already ruled on the matter and we have to respect that,” Chairman Juan Andres Bautista pointed out.
Commissioner Arthur Lim congratulated Poe.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate her for this victory. While I wish her all the best, I can only hope for the sake of the country that this is not goodbye to the rule of law,” Lim said.

Tonganoxie baseball hosting regional
Beginning Monday at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds, the Tonganoxie High baseball team will be playing host to a Class 4A regional. The winner of the eight-team tournament punches its ticket to the state tournament May 29 and 30 in Salina.
Competing with the Chieftains for that right will be Baldwin, DeSoto, Eudora, Jeff West, Ottawa, Perry-Lecompton and Santa Fe Trail.
Of potential foes outside the Kaw Valley League, THS has only faced Jeff West. Tonganoxie swept the Tigers at home on April 7, winning 8-7 and 15-3.
Perry-Lecompton and Santa Fe Trail, both KVL teams, are on Tonganoxie’s schedule this year. But rainouts moved both of those matchups to this week.
THS lost, 9-7, Monday at Perry-Lecompton.
The Chieftains played a doubleheader with Santa Fe Trail on Tuesday after The Mirror’s deadline.
Regional matchups and schedules will be released by KSHSAA today. Go to tonganoxiemirror.com to find out when and against whom the Chieftains will be playing.

Gloucester's King's Quarter regeneration deal 'in days'
THE £60million King's Quarter regeneration scheme for Gloucester will be realised within two years after plans took a "giant leap" forward.
And some of the high street's top names are keeping an eager eye on the project as they weigh up a move to the new-look city centre.
In the biggest milestone for the scheme so far, Gloucester City Council chiefs are signing a contract with developers Stanhope Plc within days.
It has been likened to a "marriage proposal" by one city chief.

Stanhope's project director Martyn Chase said some retailers are already getting excited about the opportunities.
He said: "We have shown our plans to the retailers at a conference on Monday and they were very enthusiastic. There were some big names there.
"We will now be chasing these leads up in the next few weeks. This is a priority because there is no point in submitting a planning application if there are no retailers on board.
"The next stage will be to acquire the land we need for the development. The land owners have been working with us and have so far been very co-operative because it is as much in their interest to see this area transformed. We also have to make sure we have the right infrastructure in place, so that means producing a place for the bus station, a car park and all the surrounding roads."
A planning application will be submitted early next year and then, if passed, the construction work will begin later in 2013.
The radical plans include demolishing existing buildings and introducing around 40 new shops, restaurants, a small cinema, a community space and a revamped bus station.
Councillor Debbie Llewellyn, deputy leader of Gloucester City Council, said: "This is the biggest milestone since the project began.
"When you have got the bigger retailers signed up it will bring in the smaller ones too so everyone gets a bite of the cherry.
"We are just about to sign on the dotted line. It is a giant leap forward. It's like a marriage contract. Stanhope is contractually obliged to bring this to life.
"It is all systems go."
Among the names watching on is fashion chain Zara. Spokesman Susan Suett said: "We look at all locations before opening a new store. It has to be the best location in a given area. If the area is being invested in that certainly gets our interest."
City councillors said this week that the King's Quarter development is their number one priority among 15 ongoing projects across Gloucester.
Writing in Monday's Citizen, Editor Ian Mean will issue a rallying call for the regeneration drive to continue in Gloucester.
He will write in his Mean on Monday column: "As I said at Gloucester Day recently, Gloucester is finally on the up and much of that new confidence in the city has come from investment into our regeneration projects.
"As vice chairman of the Gloucester Heritage Urban Regeneration Company, I have often been critical during the last six years of its life of what I perceived to be a lack of drive and enthusiasm by our city council to rebuild this once great city of ours.
"However, despite the fact that the GHURC is now in its death throes, I believe the regeneration penny has now dropped with our councilors.
"Last week, I attended a city council Cabinet meeting to hear about the city ‘s vision to take regeneration forward without the help of the GHURC which will close its doors by next March.
"I admit I was ready to be critical.
"But I came away thinking there is a real chance that the momentum now driving this city forward will not be lost.
"Yes, the penny has dropped.
"What impressed me last Wednesday evening was that the city councillors have now come a long way on the journey to regeneration in Gloucester.
"Paul James, the leader, is a guy who works in property and well knows just how tough it is to get outside investment into a city that to most developers ten years ago was simply a no go area.
"And Paul was honest enough to tell the Cabinet that there would be no return to the “dark and bad old days” of the past.
"He was, of course, referring to the appalling planning decisions like the failure of the Arrowcroft shopping scheme at Blackfriars, which killed future investor confidence.
"All that has changed, of course ,with the ongoing huge investment by Peel Holdings in Gloucester Quays and the work now starting on the eyesore Railway Triangle.
"The regeneration framework report produced by the city’s Corporate Director of Regeneration, Phil Staddon, is a first class piece of work.
"We will be looking at its detail in The Citizen over the next few weeks and asking you for your comments.
"One thing is certain. The Citizen will not allow this city to drift back into those bad old days—the momentum on driving our city forward must not be lost."

“Someone Saved My Life Tonight” is an Elton John song from his album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
The song concludes side one of the album’s narrative, chronicling the early history of John and lyricist Bernie Taupin and their struggles to find their place within the music industry. When released as the album’s only single in 1975, it was the first album to ever enter at #1 in the history of music on the Billboard Hot 100 and entered the top 25 on the UK Singles Chart. In the U.S., it was certified Gold on 10 September 1975 by the RIAA. In Canada, the single narrowly missed being his ninth number one there, hitting #2 on the RPM 100 national Top Singles chart on August 30.
Taupin’s lyric refers to a time in 1968, before John was popular as a musician, when John was engaged to be married to girlfriend Linda Woodrow. John and Woodrow were sharing a flat with Taupin in Furlong Road in Highbury, London, hence the opening line “When I think of those East End lights.” While having serious doubts about the looming marriage, John contemplated suicide. He took refuge in his friends, especially Long John Baldry, who convinced John to abandon his plans to marry in order to salvage and maintain his musical career. After “sticking his head in the gas oven, but with the windows open”, his parents arrived the next day, in a van, to take him back to their apartment in Pinner.
As a sign of respect and gratitude to Baldry, Taupin wrote him into the song as the “someone” in the title, and also as “Sugar Bear”.
Comparisons can[according to whom?] be drawn to the earlier John/Taupin composition Skyline Pigeon – as both songs contain the metaphor of a creature flying free towards the sky to signify escape from marriage, with the creature in this case being a butterfly.
Some radio stations altered the song or refused to play it due to the use of the phrase “Damn it” in the second verse.
In the liner notes to the Deluxe Edition of Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy, writer Paul Gambaccini related a recollection from producer Gus Dudgeon. During the recording of the song’s lead vocal, Dudgeon said he was pushing John for more in terms of his delivery of the vocal, not paying attention to the lyric. According to Gambaccini, guitarist Davey Johnstone leaned over and told Dudgeon, “You know he’s singing about killing himself.” Dudgeon was apparently mortified by the revelation and relented.
At 6:45 this was one of John’s longest singles and was supposed to be edited to a shorter version for radio consumption. However, John refused to let MCA Records cut it down, saying that it was to be released as a whole, and the record company acquiesced. Its B-Side song, “House of Cards”, was recorded by UK singer Linda Kendrick.
John has played the song live many times, one of the best known recorded performances coming during the Central Park concert in September 1980.

Noise amplification alert: Potential steam ventilation to occur Oct. 24 - 28
From: The Division of Campus Planning, Infrastructure, and Facilities
To accommodate state-required procedures for Virginia Tech Power Plant’s natural gas boiler capital project, performance testing of the new boiler is scheduled to take place Monday, Oct. 24, through Friday, Oct. 28. Testing operations will be limited to the hours between 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily.
If unseasonably warm conditions occur during this scheduled timeframe, it may be necessary for the power plant to vent steam produced by the new boiler. This may produce water vapor that, depending upon environmental conditions, may appear to look like white smoke. If venting operations are necessary, there will likely be elevated noise levels in the area immediately surrounding the power plant as steam is released to the atmosphere.
There are no immediate plans to vent steam during this period unless weather conditions dictate the need to do so.
Questions may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.org.


BJP welcomes NC, NCP stand opposing 'snoopgate' inquiry New Delhi, May 4 (PTI)BJP today welcomed NCP and National Conference's stand opposing the Centre's move to appoint a judge to look into the 'snoopgate' issue, and said even the UPA allies are refusing to be part of Congress's "politics of Vendetta".
BJP also slammed the Congress for alleging that the girl involved in the case had been bought by the Gujarat government to stay silent, and said "no one is in the market to purchase Congress's lies anymore". "When lies become a habit, then you can just keep on spinning off lies. All I am trying to say and there is evidence before you that no one is in the market to purchase Congress's lies anymore. Not even those who have been with the Congress for 15 years," BJP national spokesperson M J Akbar told reporters here.
He said that those who kept the UPA alive too are asking the Congress to stop "politics of filth" and get back to the politics of issues. "They are telling Congress that please for God's sake stop this politics of filth and get back to the politics of issues. But when they have nothing to say on issues, their only recourse is lies... It's sad," he said.
He said that his party "welcomes this revival of good sense and decency in the Indian political discourse". "The things that we have been saying for long are now registering with the people that Congress is indulging in the politics of personal vendetta... And the change of mood which one is seeing amongst respected leaders is evidence," Akbar said.
The issue of 'snoopgate' enquiry allegedly involving BJP's PM candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi ran into trouble today with two UPA constituents -- NCP and National Conference -- opposing the move to appoint a judge in "dying hours" of the government. "It shows that UPA allies have found sense. They are seeing the truth. This is the politics of vendetta which is the speciality of Congress. Political parties do not want to get involved in it," he added.
NCP leader and Union minister Praful Patel told PTI that when the results of the Lok Sabha elections were due in two weeks' time, where was the need for such an enquiry. Patel also said that his party chief Sharad Pawar had talked to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh earlier in the day to convey the party's view in the matter.
The Congress, however, declared that there was "no compromise" as the issue involved the women of the country. NC leader and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said if the decision to appoint could not be taken in December then it was wrong to appoint a judge five months later.
The BJP national spokesperson also hit out at the Congress, saying that the party which could not be faithful to the poor of Amethi (the constituency represented by party vice president Rahul Gandhi), how can they be the same with the poor of the country. Giving figures, Akbar said that till now there has not been supply of electricity to only 1,350 Amethi villages and for the past few months, kerosene is also not available.
"Amethi is one of the ten most poorest districts in UP till now... And one knows for how many decades one family's fortunes are attached to Amethi. As many as 76 per cent people are there in Amethi who have got less than 15 days' of work in a year under the MNREGA scheme," he said.
He said that people's heart in Amethi has been broken and for this reason the Modi wave is being seen there also. "The Modi wave has reached Amethi as well," he added.

Apparatus for Dissecting Stalks to Evaluate Stem Borer Insect Resistance in Maize
- Ralph C. Kreps,
- Dietrich Klein and
- Albrecht E. Melchinger
Measuring tunnel length in stalks is a common method for evaluating resistance against European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner) in maize (Zea mays L.). Infested plants are dissected and tunnel length, attributed to feeding of corn borer larvae, is measured. This is laborious and time-consuming, thus restricting the number of genotypes that can be evaluated for resistance in breeding programs. An apparatus built mostly of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and spring steel was constructed for dissecting maize stalks. Stalks are pushed by hand through the apparatus and are thus split apart. This apparatus dissects the stalk into two equal parts for measuring stem borer resistance in maize and reduces the time spent for splitting a stalk by =50% compared with conventional methods. The cutter ensures no escapes in investigating tunnel lengths.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.
