The Defense Ministry on Friday approved the procurement of several weapon systems and platforms, including the Dhruvastra short-range air-to-surface missile and 12 Su-30 MKI fighter jets at a cost of around Rs 45,000 crore.
A total of nine tender proposals have been approved by the Defense Acquisition Council (DAC), headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, officials said.
“All these purchases will be made from Indian suppliers in the Buy (Indian-Indigenably Designed Developed and Manufactured (IDMM)/Buy (Indian) category, which will provide a substantial boost to the Indian defense industry towards achieving the goal of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’,” the Defense Ministry said.
To enhance the protection, mobility, offensive capability and survivability of mechanized forces, the DAC has approved the procurement of Light Armored Multipurpose Vehicles (LAMV) and Integrated Surveillance and Targeting System (ISAT-S), the ministry said in a statement declaration.
The approved DAC also authorized the procurement of High Mobility Vehicle (HMV) Gun Towing Vehicles for rapid mobilization and deployment of artillery guns and radars.
The DAC further approved the procurement of next generation research vessels for the Indian Navy, the ministry said.
It said a proposal by the Indian Air Force to provide avionic upgrade of Dornier aircraft to improve accuracy and reliability for operations also received Acceptance of Necessity (AoN). The AoN is the initial approval.
“The procurement of the Dhruvastra Short Range Air-to-Surface Missile as a powerful indigenous precision-guided weapon for indigenously built ALH Mk-IV helicopters has been approved by the DAC,” the ministry said.
“The AoN for procurement of 12 Su-30 MKI aircraft with associated equipment from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was also awarded,” the report said.

Today, WiFi has been fully integrated into our daily work and life, especially for friends who often travel or travel, the first thing to reach the destination is to access WIFI. With the increasing demand of WIFI, many hotels and tourist attractions have begun to vigorously build free WiFi, which aims to provide customers with better services.
However, at present, there are still some hotel WIFI constructions insufficient. The Internet service needs to be achieved through a network cable. Therefore, for friends who travel or travel, it is necessary to carry a portable wireless router with them.
Since it is a portable wireless router, small and lightweight are naturally the first element. To this end, foreign manufacturers Iogear recently launched a super exquisite portable wireless router -NetShair Nano, which may also be the smallest wireless router in the world.
Iogear netShair nano
As shown in the figure above, the overall shape of NetShair Nano is quite delicate, which is not much bigger than the ordinary U disk. Its body provides a RJ-45 interface and three status indicators. In terms of power supply, it can work normally through the USB interface power supply.
NetShair nano application is easy
The application of NetShair Nano is also very simple. First, insert the hotel’s network cable into the RJ-45 interface, and then connect the USB power supply (power can be powered by notebook or mobile power supply). At this time, NetShair Nano enters the working state, and the user can access the WiFi, and at the same time, it can be set for further settings, such as the WiFi password.
However, unfortunately, NetShair Nano can only provide 11N wireless networks, and the highest wireless transmission rate is only 150Mbps. However, WiFi is always convenient than using network cables, and the current 11N speed can basically meet daily applications. In addition, it is less than $ 20, so NetShair Nano is still worth choosing!

Scout's Duty - Chapter 112
< Chapter 111 Chapter 113 >
David attacks the pirates!
Charging with me, my three companions joined in my battle cry. "For Milo!"
One hundred and sixty marines raised their voices as one. "For Mordan! For Tarteg! For Milo!"
The marines charged the encircling pirates. Unnerved by the marines' precision, both in maneuvers and in voice, the pirates fell back before the onslaught. I'd have to congratulate the marine commander's choice of battle cry later.
"Heidi?" My voice boomed out across the docking bay. "Route me back to the ship's channel and cancel the broadcast."
The four of us engaged half a dozen pirates, steel clashing against steel. We pushed the pirates back a couple of steps before they found a rhythm of their own. Precious seconds ticked away as we traded blows. They were seconds Laura's teams would use to place the charges on the landing struts. They were seconds Quint or Chapman might use to disappear into the base. They were seconds I could not afford to waste on these men.
"I'm going to Boost in ten seconds. Get out of my way." The pirate in front of me looked at me in disbelief. "Yes, I'm talking to you and your friends. Surrender or I'll cut you down where you stand!"
"Believe him lads." Martin's voice still sounded rough, but the pain from his burns was driven away by the excitement of combat. "David takes duty very seriously and you're standing between him and Quint."
Comprehension dawned on the pirates' faces. They dropped their swords and moved aside.
Adrenaline poured into my system. Time slowed. Fatigue faded. Vision sharpened. Muscles surged. I flew across the docking bay, an arrow aimed at Quint and Chapman! My focus was so tight on Quint that I was halfway across the bay before I realized I was not alone. I looked to my left. Martin was with me, stride for stride, lips stretched wide in a savage grin. Footsteps pounded behind me. I risked a look over my shoulder. Rupor and Harris sprinted for all they were worth, almost keeping up with us.
A squad of Quint's pirate guards blocked our path, swords raised to defend their captain. I lowered my shoulder. Martin did the same.
I switched from gal base to Mordanian. "I'm going to go low past the first row and come up in the middle of them."
"Make sure to swing to your right. I'll be on your left."
As one, Martin and I dropped and rolled between startled defenders. We rose to face pirates unprepared for immediate combat. I swung my blade in a wide arch. It cut three pirates and drove all of them back a step. Behind me, Rupor and Harris engaged the pirates Martin and I had bypassed.
Confusion reigned among the pirates from our surprise arrival in their midst. Martin and I took advantage and attacked. I thrust my sword into the side of a pirate. He screamed as I ripped it free and slashed the man next to him. I blocked a swing from a third pirate and kicked him in the groin. I grabbed his collar as he doubled over in pain and threw him into the back of a pirate battling with Rupor or Harris.
I looked for Quint. He, Chapman, and his remaining guards were headed for the airlock!
"Quint's getting away!" I hacked off a pirate's sword arm.
"Not if I can help it!" Martin pulled his sword from the shoulder of another pirate.
One pirate stood between us and Quint's retreat.
I pointed my sword at him. "I want Quint, not you."
The pirate's eyes widened in panic and indecision. Martin's sword flashed and the pirate crumpled to the deck.
"He took too long to make up his mind."
Clear of the pirates, Martin and I raced on. Quint and his men reached the airlock. The captain looked back at us and punched buttons with frantic haste. I had to reach him before he could flee into the base!
A thunder clap drowned out the sounds of battle. Fighting paused and the docking bay reverberated with the sound of the explosions. The airlock door reflected the scene behind me.
Aashla's Hope floated free and moved ponderously toward the docking bay exit!
The ship is free but will Quint get away? Find out in Chapter 113, coming Wednesday!

Do you have what it takes to be a franchisee? Do you even know what a franchise is?
According to Investopedia’s website a franchisee is a small business owner who operates a franchise. The franchisee has purchased the right to use an existing business’s trademarks, associated brands, and other proprietary knowledge to market and sell the same brand, and uphold the same standards as the first business. Franchisees become owners and independent operators of third-party retail outlets called franchises.
If you think you can “uphold the same standards,” respect the rules, and understand and apply brand management protocols, being a franchisee may be in your future!
Owning a franchise removes the frustrating and expensive leg work of starting your own business. With a franchise, all the kinks have been ironed out, and the time it takes to get a new business off the ground is minimal. Plus, expensive startup costs just to see if things work or don’t is removed from the equation because the franchise’s tried and true operation methods are proven. But the biggest benefit of being a franchisee is that you are part of an established brand. A brand that has a loyal following and solid reputation. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel or put your creative juices together to create a brand or a name for yourself when you become a franchisee – the business model is already there for you to execute.
Being a franchisee is like opening a business in a box – just tear it open!
If you think you’ve got what it takes to follow the proven process of success, abide by corporate policies and regulations, and want to get started on owing your own business visit Franocity.com.

The purpose of this guide is to help Colorado criminal justice agencies, health care professionals and community organizations locate professional resources to assist justice involved individuals who qualify for Health First Colorado (Medicaid).
A person’s specific status and interaction with the criminal justice system may affect Health First Colorado (Medicaid) eligibility and other health care options. This online guide provides county level health-related and criminal justice-related information to help professionals in these fields build relationships and assist their clients with better access to care.
Glossary of Professional Guide Terms
There are 56 county jails in Colorado. County jails are run by a county sheriff and are funded through local government. Some Colorado counties do not operate their own jail but contract with a nearby county jail. County jails are commonly used to hold a variety of justice involved individuals, including those who may be serving a sentence for a misdemeanor or are being held in custody pretrial.
Individuals can be held in jail for a number of reasons:
- Pre-trial detainees: Refers to people that are in jail who have not been convicted of a criminal offense and have not (yet) made bond.
- Convicted – serving jail sentence: Refers to people who have been convicted and sentenced to serve a period of time in jail. Usually this is for a misdemeanor conviction but people can also be sentenced for a felony and required to do some jail time as a condition of probation. Some jails have a work-release program or weekender program that allows people to leave jail to go to work, school, treatment, and then return to jail either at night or over the weekend.
- Immigration hold/detainer: Some people can be in jail because Immigration Control Enforcement (ICE) has placed a hold or detainer pending a deportation investigation/hearing.
- Other law enforcement/court detainer/hold: A person can be in jail when another law enforcement agency or court has filed a detainer/hold because of pending criminal action in another jurisdiction.
- Pending probation revocation: If a person is on probation and is noncompliant, a probation officer can ask the court to revoke a person’s probation sentence for violation of a condition or supervision (or for committing a new crime). In this circumstance, an individual may be held in jail until the court holds a revocation hearing.
- Pending community corrections revocation: If a person is sentenced to community corrections and is noncompliant, a probation officer can ask the court to revoke the community corrections sentence. In this circumstance, an individual may be held in jail until the court holds a revocation hearing. Being in jail is usually temporary as the court will impose a new sentence, most often a prison sentence.
- Pending parole revocation: If a parolee is non-compliant, a parole officer can file a complaint requesting that the Parole Board revoke parole. The parolee may be taken to jail awaiting the parole revocation hearing.
The state judicial system is divided into 22 Judicial Districts. Each Judicial District manages its court system, which may include a number of District Courts, County Courts, and Specialty Courts. Judicial Districts also manage a probation department and a Chief Probation Officer is assigned to each Judicial District. Similarly, every District has an elected District Attorney who is responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in their respective district.
Health First Colorado (Medicaid)
Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) is a low-cost, public health insurance program for Coloradans who meet income guidelines. Health First Colorado is funded jointly by the federal and state government and is administered by the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
Parole is a period of supervision after a person is released from prison. Common conditions of parole supervision include maintaining an approved residence, employment and attending any recommended treatment programs. Parole is a division within the Colorado Department of Corrections.
Probation is a sentence option for people convicted of either misdemeanor or felony offenses where the person is living in the community and under supervision of a probation officer with court oversight. Colorado probation officers are part of the judicial system and work as agents of the court.
Problem Solving Courts
Problem solving courts are special courts designed to deal with adult and juvenile defendants whose criminal behavior is directly related to a specific population or condition. For example, some of the problem solving courts in Colorado include: Recovery/Drug Court, Veterans Court, Mental Health Court and Family Court. Participants in problem solving courts must be referred by the district attorney, accepted into the specific court program, and agree to participate. Problem solving courts are managed by judicial districts.
Health First Colorado members are assigned a primary care provider who belongs to one of seven regional organizations. Which regional organization your client is connected with will depend on who their primary care provider is. Each regional organization connects Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid Program) clients to Health First Colorado providers, including physical and behavioral health services, and also helps Health First Colorado clients find community and social services in their area. Each regional organization helps providers and patients communicate with each other, so that Health First Colorado clients receive coordinated care. A regional organization will also help Health First Colorado clients get the right care when they are returning home from the hospital or a nursing facility, by providing the support needed for a quick recovery. All regional organizations have a care coordinator who is focused specifically on justice involved people as they transition back to community from incarceration.

Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez is keen to play the same kind of role Lionel Messi performs at Barcelona, the Chilean international said.
Sanchez, who played with Messi in Spain before moving to the Emirates Stadium in July 2014, has started in 11 of Arsenal's 12 league games so far this season, scoring six goals and supplying three assists.
"I like the way that Lionel Messi plays," Sanchez told Arsenal Player.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has built his attack around Sanchez, fielding him as the lone striker ahead of three attacking midfielders.
"I like getting involved in the play more rather than chasing the ball. I like seeing lots of the ball because I have the chance to drop deep and that means I can link up with my team mates more," the 27-year-old said.
Oliver Giroud has been consigned to the bench for the most part this season but with Wenger keen to give Sanchez a break over the winter the French forward could find himself back in the starting line-up.
Arsenal, who are fourth, host 10th-placed Bournemouth at on Sunday in the Premier League.

‘Spider-Man’ director Jon Watts could be helming a ‘Star Wars’ series
Having directed the third highest-grossing movie to ever be released in the United States, not to mention the eighth top-earning hit in the history of cinema, we’d be selling Jon Watts very short if we were to say that the filmmaking world is now his oyster.
That’s not to say he’s going to be resting on his laurels, when he’s already got a trio of projects lined up. He shot the pilot for Jeff Bridges’ FX series The Old Man, he developed the story for the sixth Final Destination which he’ll also produce, and he’s teaming up with Brad Pitt and George Clooney for a crime thriller set up at Apple.
However, Discussing Film have reported that depending on his schedule, Watts could become the latest high-profile talent to step behind the camera and call the shots on a Star Wars series. As per the initial story, the project is going by the working title of Grammar Rodeo, with production set to begin this summer.
The outlet goes on to say that Watts is being eyed for at least one episode, but the elephant in the room is the schedule for his Pitt/Clooney collaboration. The mystery Star Wars show was revealed to be in the works a couple of weeks ago by Production Weekly, and with Discussing Film naming Jon Favreau as an executive producer, it looks set to be part of the same timeline inhabited by The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.

Take a Bow and New Cumnock Re-use Hub projects get next stage backing
New Farm Loch's Take a Bow Opportunity Centre in Kilmarnock and New Cumnock’s Re-Use Hub developments took forward steps this week with cabinet approval for continued support for their Stage 2 Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF) applications for 2023/24.
Elected members heard how following close scrutiny and due diligence inspection, both projects had been successful in achieving grant funding from the RCGF - which has been run by East Ayrshire Council in partnership with the Scottish Government and COSLA since 2014. It supports locally developed place based regeneration projects to tackle inequalities and promote inclusive growth in deprived, disadvantaged and fragile remote communities throughout Scotland.
For Take a Bow – which has already breathed new life into the former New Farm Loch Community Centre, the £1,341615 grant will allow them to progress the building refurbishment and set up of their new Opportunity Centre, bringing new work and lifestyle opportunities to the local community its facilities and building on their existing work while improving the energy efficiency of the venue.
In New Cumnock the Re-use Hub gained £1,800,000 towards establishing a sustainable, eco friendly social enterprise using traditional and new skills to repurpose, recyle and mend items for the pre-loved market, creating jobs, community engagement and a ground breaking learning environment to boost local wellbeing and community wealth building.
Welcoming the news, Councillor Douglas Reid, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, East Ayrshire Council said: “This is a great example of community led regeneration in action. Local people coming together to decide what’s needed in their area, organising and setting up community enterprises with our help and that of other local and national bodies. Working together, and achieving funding from numerous sources they’re providing sustainable, life changing and local solutions to help their communities gain skills, enrichment, confidence and opportunities in their own areas.
“We know that our communities can act as powerful catalysts for positive change and these two projects are an example of how that works in action and we are grateful to the individuals involved for all their efforts. We’re all looking forward to see these projects take shape and will continue to work with the organisations to help make sure they succeed.”

The modern world has never before seen a company with the scale, scope, reach and speed of Google’s business dominance. Expect Google’s antitrust problems to proliferate with its proliferating dominance and abuses.
No other company has ever grown several separate and very different, stand-alone verticals simultaneously, by several hundred million users each, in less than ~three years.

There is more to learn from the Alphabet-Google restructuring than Google’s PR narratives.
First for those paying close attention, this restructuring and Alphabet branding should spotlight Google’s truly amazing accomplishments to date, and Alphabet-Google’s breathtaking ambitions going forward.
At core this restructuring formalizes Alphabet-Google’s very real transition, from a Gcosytem focus of disintermediating and dominating much of the Internet and tech sectors, to a Gconomy focus of disintermediating and dominating much of the rest of the economy.

Why is the world’s leading crusader for openness and transparency so closed and non-transparent?
Why does Google fiercely defend the public’s right to know virtually everything about everyone else, but does not believe the public has any right to know similar things about Google?
Why is Google passionate about discovery of the world’s information, but so fierce in fighting legitimate discovery of Google information?

EU officials, who believe normally-big-fines by themselves will be enough to deter Google’s illegal antitrust and privacy abuses, are making a profound miscalculation about what actually motivates and deters Google.
Google’s leadership is not motivated primarily by money, but overwhelmingly by the power and influence of “changing the world” by scaling most every facet of data, computing, and connectivity, first and fastest.
Google’s leadership understands the Internet marketplace is really a simple first-mover race to scale -- and that any fines along the way, without serious limits on Google’s power, are insignificant nuisances.
Google is unlike any other company EU law enforcement has confronted.

Google’s wiretapping is back in the news. The Guardian reports “Google [Chrome] eavesdropping tool installed on computers without permission.”
This is not an isolated incident. It is a part of a broader Google pattern of behavior.
What should be big news and scandalous here is that the company that has gathered the most Internet users in the world based upon public representations of being pro-privacy and open -- is secretly engaged in widespread wiretapping.
Wiretapping is illegally intercepting and recording people’s communications without their knowledge or consent. In the U.S., wiretapping is a criminal offense punishable by a fine and up to five years in prison.

After successfully taming the FTC and the DOJ via the intimidation of politically placing seven former Google executives or consultants in senior positions in most every major federal policy or law enforcement area of legal or commercial interest to Google Inc., Google has turned its intimidation modus operandi on the only American law enforcement arm that apparently remains willing to investigate and enforce the law when it comes to Google – state attorneys general.

A succession of demonstrably wrong and lax antitrust decisions by the FTC has created a 90% market share Android mobile monopoly in licensed mobile operating systems that is anti-privacy by design, because Google’s ill-gotten mobile advertising dominance demands bulk data collection of Android users’ app metadata and private information without users meaningful knowledge or consent.

Surprise! Google-Android is as dominant as Google search in the EU and much more so in the U.S.
Not only does Google face substantial business risk from the EU concluding Google has abused its 90% search dominance by favoring Google Shopping over competitors in Google search results, but Google’s future business in mobile also faces substantial business risk from the EU likely concluding in its investigation of alleged Android abuses of dominance, that Google-Android has >90% mobile operating system (OS) market share because Apple iOS is not an Android competitor for antitrust purposes.
Google-Android faces much more antitrust risk than conventional wisdom appreciates because antitrust law and precedent can define relevant market boundaries very differently than consumer-oriented industry researchers, investment analysts, or the media do for their particular purposes, which can yield a surprisingly dominant market share in this particular antitrust case.

Live like your first days.
A couple of months ago, I started planning and rehearsing for Lindsey Abudei w/The Perfect 4th String Quartet.
It was my first time working with a string quartet (save for having the double bass/cello and violins as stand-alone accompaniments) so it was something I was excited about. Wanted an intimate session to share with the audience.Wanted it to feel like a conversation I invited them in for.
I didn't get enough mats/pouffes/ cushions as I'd wanted but I made do with some of my wrapper and cloth material + the cushions,throw pillows and a rug from a few friends.
Will let these photographs tell more:)
I live for the sun's kisses.
But today, the sun missed my face.

The words I've heard, all fallen to shrouded whispers.
Today, the sun missed my face.

Binyamin Netanyahu is the son of a historian. Three weeks ago, hundreds of guests celebrated Benzion Netanyahu's 100th birthday.
In an emotional speech, the PM extolled his father's ability to foresee major historical events, from the Shoah to the attack on New York by Islamic terrorists.
"I learnt from you to look into the future," said Bibi to his father.
In his own speech, the wise old historian spoke of the future and warned of the terrible consequences if Iran is allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
Mr Netanyahu inherited from his father a historical perspective and can justifiably claim to have foreseen events and trends on the local, regional and global scale himself. H
e wrote a book on the threat that Islamic terror would pose to the West while still a youthful ambassador to the UN.
As head of the opposition in the mid- 1990s he warned of the inherent weaknesses in the Oslo process long before its collapse, and skilfully exploited the "Americanisation" of the Israeli public before anyone else understood it to achieve his election victory in 1996.
As PM and later finance minister, he put into motion several processes that safeguarded the Israeli economy from the global recession.
His success in predicting events, for which he feels he never received due credit, is at the base of his fervent belief, identical to that of his father, that Israel has one overriding concern right now: the Iranian threat. Everything else is merely a hindrance and no one can tell him otherwise.
But Mr Netanyahu's view of the world is also formed by staunch ideology, also inherited from Benzion, that Israel should hold on to all the land captured in 1967 and that most Arabs will never reconcile to the Jewish state.
He was forced in his first term as PM to hand over most of Hebron and other parts of the West Bank to the PA and to pay lip-service in his current term to the concept of a Palestinian state, but his heart was never in it. He really believes in building in east Jerusalem.
Still, his arguments have failed to convince the Israeli public, which according to polls has gradually come over to the notion of a two-state solution; the media in Israel and abroad, which, despite his polished appearances, continues to regard him as a hardliner; and above all the two American presidents with whom he has dealt, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Having lived, studied and worked there for many years, Mr Netanyahu believes he understands America, as well - if not better - than its own leaders. Here again, his perspective is linked to ideology.
His is firmly rooted in the Republican and neo-conservative camps, yet another reason for Mr Clinton and Mr Obama to dislike him.
This accumulation of hostility, from the White House, the media and the Israeli establishment, has engendered a permanent sense of siege, a bunker mentality that fosters suspicion, hesitation and, too often, panicky moves.
Mr Netanyahu's loyal circle of aides is telling him to stand up to the American dictation.
Will he listen to them, and to his historical certainty that he will be proven right? Or will he listen to Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and other voices, mainly in the defence establishment, who tell him that for Israel to confront Iran, it needs to do whatever it takes to have America by its side?

Having definite episode dates ahead of time will come as a relief to Telltale fans, who have in recent years been left for unannounced dice-roll periods of time between episodes, in some cases literally multiple months. As The Walking Dead is Telltale’s premier brand, it seems that this time the developer isn’t leaving the fans cliffhanging for too long.
The Walking Dead – The Final Season is available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch release will follow at a later date. You can check out our review of Episode One: Done Running right here.

The latest ToadShow museum project, TradeCoast Central Heritage Park, opened on 17 July 2015 on the site of Brisbane's Eagle Farm Airport. ToadShow took the project from scoping stage, through content development, to production and installation of extensive walking trails and an up-to-the-minute interpretive centre including artefact displays, touchscreen kiosks and a micro-cinema featuring the film "Layers of History".
From the centre's viewing platform visitors can see three heritage-listed sites:
- Convict Farm and Women’s Prison
- Allison Engine Testing Stands
- Hangar No. 7.
As nothing above ground remains of the Convict Farm and Women’s Prison, ToadShow's creatives had their work cut out to bring the story to life. Sculptural elements were used to show the prison palisade and represent convict women working in the fields. Transparent panels revealed former buildings. Interpretive signs explained former prison buildings.
At the Allison Engine Testing Stands and Hangar No. 7 sites, outdoor interpretive signage and soundscapes bring the heritage structures to life.
The ToadShow-designed TradeCoast Central Heritage Park web site, designed to rescale for mobile devices, features three audio tours to guide visitors around the park.

The unruly end of empire
An epic tragedy brought about by hubris, confused thinking and lack of planning
SIXTY years ago this August one of the greatest and most violent upheavals of the 20th century took place on the Indian subcontinent. It was an event whose consequences were entirely unexpected and whose meaning was never fully spelled out or understood either by the politicians who took the decision or the millions of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs who were to become its victims. In 1947, faced with irreconcilable differences over the demand for a separate state for India's Muslims, Britain decided, with the consent of a majority of India's political leaders, to partition the country and give each bit its independence. Tragedy followed.
The break-up of Britain's Indian empire involved the movement of some 12m people, uprooted, ordered out, or fleeing their homes and seeking safety. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, thousands of children disappeared, thousands of women were raped or abducted, forced conversions were commonplace. The violence polarised communities on the subcontinent as never before. The pogroms and killings were organised by gangs, vigilantes and militias across northern, western and eastern India. They were often backed by local leaders, politicians from Congress and the Muslim League, maharajahs and princes, and helped by willing or frightened civil servants.
Yasmin Khan, a British historian, has written a riveting book on this terrible story. It is unusual for two reasons. It is composed with flair, quite unlike the dense, academic plodding that modern Indian history usually delivers. Second, it turns the spotlight away from the self-posturing in the British viceroy's palace and the well-documented political wrangling between Congress and the Muslim League leaders. Instead, it focuses on a broader canvas that leads the reader through the confusion, the uncertainties, the fear and eventually the horror faced by those who were soon to become citizens of the two new states, India and Pakistan.
Today the upheaval on both sides of the partition line would be described as ethnic cleansing on a gigantic scale. It left two traumatised, injured nations—suspicious and fearful of one another even to this day—where once there had been one country of loosely interwoven peoples. Pakistan's present military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, himself a child of partition, calls India “the arch-enemy”. Such thinking has become instilled on both sides—an outcome unthinkable to all those involved in the independence movement.
The decision to divide India on religious lines was taken with regret but little foreboding and carried out with outrageous haste and unconcern by the British government and its viceroy in India, Lord Mountbatten. Asked by a journalist if he foresaw any mass transfer of population, Mountbatten said, “Personally I don't see it...Some measure of transfer will come about in a natural way...perhaps governments will transfer populations.”
No preparation or consideration was given to the central issues of citizenship, security and property rights in the division of the country. On the other hand, India's civil servants, the babus of empire, were busy itemising every fixture in their offices down to ink pots and paperweights that were to be divided between Pakistan and the new India. Lack of planning, hubris, confused thinking and a complete void as to the consequences were the fatal flaws in the partition plan, writes Ms Khan.
The announcement that India was to be partitioned and independence would follow not less than a year later was made in the House of Commons on June 3rd 1947. By August 15th the British were gone. They accepted no responsibility for the carnage that was taking place and they refused to allow the British troops still in India to keep order or protect people.
The movement of people and the privations they suffered were extraordinary. Muslims made their way west to Pakistan; Sikhs and Hindus moved east to India in “foot convoys” that involved 30,000-40,000 people, wagons, carts and animals spread out over 45 miles (70km). In one month 849,000 refugees entered India by foot. Trains that were impossibly overloaded, and dangerously targeted by the killers, ran across Punjab from Rawalpindi and Lahore to Amritsar and Delhi and back again as soon as they had refuelled and watered. Many families left for reasons of safety, taking only a few belongings because they expected to return. Not everyone imagined the journey across the partition line would be final.
When Jawaharlal Nehru made his famous speech on August 15th declaring that at the midnight hour, when the world slept, India would awake to life and freedom, massacres were taking place almost daily on both sides of the line. Nehru later wondered if his fellow countrymen knew how close India had come to imploding. The violence was simply uncontrollable.
Despite the pledges of equality for all communities in the new India and Pakistan, the driving force behind the violence was to eliminate or devour the other community, writes Ms Khan. It took the shock of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination on January 30th 1948—by a Hindu extremist opposed to Gandhi's conciliatory policy towards Muslims and his peace overtures to Pakistan—to stem the violence and bring India, especially, to its senses.
The illusions of partition are not overlooked by Ms Khan, including the premise that a common religion is strong enough glue to hold different and suppressed ethnic groups together in a nation state: Bangladesh, once East Pakistan, is the prime example of how wrong that premise can be. Above all, she nails the propaganda lie that the transfer of power in India was an example of peaceful decolonisation that the rest of the world could follow. The unruly end of empire in South Asia was “a shock of epic proportions”, she writes. It was ill-conceived, unplanned and only just escaped from spiralling into an even more devastating civil war.

In Molecular informatics ; h5-index 0.0
Machine learning approaches are widely used to evaluate ligand activities of chemical compounds toward potential target proteins. Especially, exploration of highly selective ligands is important for the development of new drugs with higher safety. One difficulty in constructing well-performing model predicting such a ligand activity is the absence of data on true negative ligand-protein interactions. In other words, in many cases we can access to plenty of information on ligands that bind to specific protein, but less or almost no information showing that compounds don't bind to proteins of interest. In this paper, we suggested an approach to comprehensively explore candidates for ligands specifically targeting toward proteins without using information on the true negative interaction. The approach consists of 4 steps: 1) constructing a model that distinguishes ligands for the target proteins of interest from those targeting proteins that cause off-target effects, by using graph convolution neural network (GCNN); 2) extracting feature vectors after convolution/pooling processes and mapping their principal components in two dimensions; 3) specifying regions with higher density for two ligand groups through kernel density estimation; and 4) investigating the distribution of compounds for exploration on the density map using the same classifier and decomposer. If compounds for exploration are located in higher-density regions of ligand compounds, these compounds can be regarded as having relatively high binding affinity to the major target or off-target proteins compared with other compounds. We applied the approach to the exploration of ligands for β-site amyloid precursor protein [APP]-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), a major target for Alzheimer Disease (AD), with less off-target effect toward cathepsin D. We demonstrated that the density region of BACE1 and cathepsin D ligands are well-divided, and a group of natural compounds as a target for exploration of new drug candidates also has significantly different distribution on the density map.

Food scarcity is a challenging problem worldwide especially in developing countries. Micronutrient deficiency is one of the main reasons of low agricultural yield which is more common in South Asia and Africa. Farmers control micronutrient deficiency through fertilizers which may cause toxicity due to lack of proper management. The present study optimized concentration Manganese for Mung bean and analyzed growth, yield and biochemical parameters which may help the grower to improve soil quality, crop production and nutritious food. High concentrations of this salt showed adverse effects on chlorophyll pigments. Very small work has been done in order to investigate desirable concentration of essential micronutrient in soil for pulses, especially for Mung bean. For the sake of limiting the scope of this research we only studied the effects of Mn on Mung bean

If you’ve recently got dental implants, then rest assured you’ve made a very sound investment in your smile. However, to ensure they last a lifetime, it’s about time you take utmost care of them both at home and professionally. Dental implants need to be taken care of just like your natural teeth. Smilekraft Dentistry’s Dr. Priyank Mathur takes you through a list of things you need to do after you have taken the plunge.
- Focus on oral hygiene:
Brush twice a day and rinse and floss once a day to keep your entire mouth clean, healthy and infection free. A strong jawbone and healthy gum line are important for keeping your dental implants securely attached, and for maintaining overall excellent oral health.
- Visit your dentist regularly:
You would be surprised as to how many people think that their implants don’t require special care, or can’t experience complications because they aren’t real teeth. This is simply not true. You still need to visit your dentist regularly for maintenance and cleaning.
- Avoid smoking, eat healthy:
Smoking greatly increases your chances of implant failure and other serious complications. If you were smoking at the time that you got your implant, then it’s important for the health of your smile to quit right away if you want your implant to last.
- Enjoy your favourite food:
Unlike dentures, you can enjoy hard nuts, sticky candy or buttery popcorn without worrying. Feel free to eat anything with confidence, knowing that your dental implants will not be affected. However, don’t forget to rinse your mouth post your meals.
All these tips are bound maintain that dazzling smile. Follow them and your smile will thank you.

The protagonist is a Ninja, and this will remain throughout the course of the game: instead of immediately choosing where to address its strengths, you will be yourself to “shape” it throughout history thanks to objects, weapons, upgrades and skills to choose from October 2018 Calendar Printable. A final mention was made to the title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Initially, the project was called only Sekiro, but after the presentation of the trailer “Shadows Die Twice” in the past The Game Awards, the phrase liked so much to fans that From Software decided to make it an integral part of the name. Moreover, Sekiro is not the name of the protagonist but a way to describe it: in the Japanese language this word means “Armed Wolf”. This could also be a re-launching factor for the city of Genoa, after the terrible episode of the collapse of the Morandi Bridge: the conference of Sirm, the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology, with ten thousand members, is confirmed in the city in November. To highlight it, in a letter open to the city and the mayor, President Carmelo Privitera.

On August 6th – he adds – I was in Genoa in the city hall by Mayor Bucci to discuss the reception of over ten thousand participants at the congress of Italian radiologists, and I recorded a total and convinced availability. Four years ago, when we chose it, we were convinced that we had found in Genoa a prestigious and welcoming venue for our congress. Today, after this terrible tragedy, we are very strongly motivated and happy to meet again in the City of Lantern. To the Genoese who are questioning about the future of a city split in two and offended, we Italian radiologists reply that we are honored to come to Genoa, and we will come many as never before.

“The rocket launcher Vukovar is the first ship of the Croatian Navy that participated in the NATO operation and overcame more than 4100 nautical miles,” said Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Damir Krsticevic, congratulating the crew on a successfully completed task.
The new heavy traffic summit at the Brenner will be moved to November. This was announced yesterday at the Alpha Forum by the President of Tyrol Ginter Platter. who wants to await the results of the elections in Bavaria and in South Tyrol, writes the Tt of Innsbruck. Platter, who had not signed the Memorandum of Understanding at Bolzano on 12 June in Bolzano, announced that there will be further regulations and prohibitions on the October 2018 Calendar Printable. The Tyrolean council wants, in fact, to impose new anti-pollution measures from 3 October, excluding from the night and sectoral prohibition also the euro 6 tolls, at least those of the sub-class A to C, while the 6-D euro should circulate.

MOSCOW, June 25 (RAPSI) – Authorities of France have frozen bank accounts with millions of euros that may be related to an alleged Russian tax fraud presumably exposed by Sergei Magnitsky, Reuters reported on Thursday.
According to Reuters, Magnitsky's former employer, Hermitage Capital, wrote a complaint to French authorities asking them to investigate transfer of funds into France that could be related to the alleged $230-million fraud uncovered by Magnitsky.
Leading investigative magistrate Renaud Van Ruymbeke was heading a team inquiring into the alleged laundering of cash from Russia, Reuters reported quoting a judicial official in Paris.
Magnitsky worked for Firestone Duncan and represented Hermitage Capital which was accused of tax evasion by Russian authorities. Magnitsky was arrested on fraud charges in November 2008 and found dead in a Moscow detention center in November 2009.
In 2014 Moscow's Tverskoy District Court found Magnitsky guilty of tax evasion and closed the case due to his death. According to the case materials, Magnitsky’s and Hermitage Capital director William Browder’s actions cost the Russian Federation over 500 million rubles (about $7.7 mln). Browder was sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia.
The lawyer’s death resulted in a huge public response. The defendants in the case included ex-chief of the Butyrsky Detention Facility, Dmitry Kratov, and the facility’s doctor, Larisa Litvinova. The criminal case against Litvinova was closed due to changes in the criminal code, under which the statute of limitations had expired. Kratov, who was charged with improper execution of his duties, was found not guilty by the Tverskoy District Court since there was no relationship found between his actions and Magnitsky’s death.
Sergei Magnitsky's mother appealed the ruling in the Moscow City Court and requested the case be reopened. The court rejected the appeal.
Following a public campaign for justice in Magnitsky’s case, President Obama signed The Magnitsky Act in December 2012. The act bans Russian officials thought to be connected with the lawyer’s death from entering the US, as well as freezing their US-based assets.

Chief Bill Blair promised last Thursday that his Toronto Police Service was committed to the 84 recommendations made by former Justice Frank Iacobucci toward the goal of “zero deaths” in police interactions with citizens.
With the decision by the Toronto Police Services Board police board not to renew Blair’s contract, some are wondering what will happen to that important work.
Chair Alok Mukherjee said police board members will continue to move forward on the recommendations in Iacobucci’s report — many of which were recommended previously by the board — and implement all of the changes made under the chief, who will continue in his role until April 2015.
Blair’s era was certainly a time of change.
“There was a greater redirection of policing to make it more community based,” says Mukherjee, including an increase in community consultation and involvement. Under Blair, there was also a focus on diversity and “making sure that the organization reflects the face of the community,” he said.
Many changes are still in the works, on a variety of fronts:
Carding: The service has moved forward on many of the 31 changes to improve the practice of carding recommended in an internal report, the Police and Community Engagement Review (PACER), completed by the force last year in October. The police board also passed a new carding policy in April, and Mukherjee says the board is committed to its implementation. Blair is moving forward on new police procedures that are in line with the policy.
Body cameras: The board supports the cameras, especially in light of the G20 summit debacle, which included disturbing evidence that some officers removed their name tags, apparently to avoid accountability for their actions. The cameras were also a recommendation in PACER. In January, Blair approved a pilot project that should be in place by the end of the year.
Organizational change: The high cost of policing has prompted the board to hire KPMG to look for ways to transform policing in the city, including contracting out court security and making better use of technology.
Tasers: It’s not known if the board will approve the “limited” pilot project to test wider use of conductive-energy weapons, as recommended by Iacobucci in his use of force report.
Force size: The board is investigating whether the city could reduce the police complement after a significant drop in crime and arrests over the past decade.
Board oversight: An independent civilian report into the G20 police response, conducted by retired justice John Morden and commissioned by the police board, recommended the board have more oversight of major events that require a heavy police presence and that the chief provide the board with information early on. Mukherjee said the board is “still working on that, and we want to make sure that will be a routine part of the way we do business.”
Paid duty: Toronto officers earned $26.1 million last year in paid-duty — working while off-duty at public events, construction sites, and the like — and stand to earn $68 an hour this summer, a figure set by the police union. The issue blew up at the board in May and members voted to have a sub-committee, which includes Councillor Michael Del Grande, Councillor Michael Thompson and Andrew Pringle, examine the issue.

Nearly a hundred are feared dead and dozens of others injured, according to wire reports, after an earthquake triggered a tsunami in the region. The devastation is so significant it prompted President Barack Obama to declare a major disaster for American Samoa and to send federal aid.
This morning a powerful 8.3 earthquake was reported in the Pacific, off the Samoan Islands region. The quake resulted in a brief Tsunami Watch being issued for Guam, the Marianas, Hawaii and other islands in the South Pacific. Waves in American Samoa's capital of Pago Pago rose more than five feet above sea level and there were four surges from tsunami waves that caused significant damage.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been activated to assist with the disaster while the U.S. Coast Guard is organizing search and rescue operations and a C-130 aircraft is being sent to American Samoa this evening.
The Camacho Administration and Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo extended their deepest sympathies to the grieving families of the victims and all the individuals affected by this disaster.

Lactose intolerance is not to be confused with milk allergy. The latter is in reaction by the body's immune system to one or more milk proteins. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and milk products.
Lactose intolerance is a digestive disorder, due to over exposure to lactose. Eventually after excessive exposure to a specific allergen, the body can start building up an intolerance to lactose. It can be more difficult to eliminate than an allergy, so avoidance of milk is best, but small amounts now and then will be tolerable.
Eliminating the allergies with The Allergy Kit is very helpful and so is adding enzymes and probiotics to the diet.
Lactase is an enzyme produced in the small intestine and it breaks down lactose. People with lactose intolerance don't produce enough lactase to break down lactose into glucose and galactose.

Fasting shows beneficial effects while there was no adverse impact on body composition or blood parameters
Mysore: A study on the impact of fasting during the holy month of Ramzan taken up by the University of Mysore’s Department of Studies in Food Science and Nutrition, has shown a loss in body weight and fat.
Sharing the details of the study at an interaction programme on Saturday with volunteers who were part the study, Department Chairperson Dr. Asna Urooj said that the research study was on the impact of fasting during Ramzan on lipid profile, haemoglobin, body composition, antioxidants, kidney and liver function.
Principal investigator of the team was Dr. Asna Urooj, supported by Ph.D. scholars Syeda Farha, Lohith, Satish, Namratha and Akshatha. “It was a good opportunity to study the impact of fasting on metabolism and body composition. Limited studies have been conducted in India in this aspect,” said Dr. Urooj. Such an exercise will help scientifically validate religious practices and throw more light on its health benefits, she added.
Arrangements were made to collect blood samples at the department on May 4 and 5 before commencement of month-long fasting and 69 healthy volunteers between 21 and 65 years participated in the pre-fasting tests.
Muslims, who fast during Ramzan, abstain from eating or drinking anything for around 13-and-a-half hours every day. They finish their early morning meal called Sehri by 4.50 am and break the fast or Iftar around 6.30-6.40 pm. Among the 69 volunteers, 54 (male 28, female 26) returned after 29 days of fasting for repeat tests that were held on June 7 and 8.
Highlights of the study
Weight loss ranged from 0.5- 2.5 kg, with variations, some lost up to 6 kg, there were no losses in muscle mass in majority of the subjects. In a few elderly, decrease in muscle mass 100-200 grams was seen. Decrease in body fat was also observed.
Anthropometric (body) measures were in acceptable range, suggesting efficient energy and muscle conservation. No changes were observed haemoglobin and blood pressure. In fact, systolic pressure decreased post fasting in majority. In a few volunteers, haemoglobin increased which may be due to consumption of protein-rich foods.
Mean values for total cholesterol and triglycerides remained similar. However, decreases in cholesterol were observed among the volunteers who were less than 40 years. It was surprising to note increases in HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) in majority of the volunteers which is a very good change. There were no changes in total protein and albumin levels, though they remained in the normal range.
The study found that blood urea and creatinine levels were within the normal ranges, in both pre and post phase. However, a decline in both was seen post fasting, suggesting that kidney function is not affected.
Antioxidant levels in blood increased post fasting suggesting decrease in oxidative stress which is implicated as the primary cause for several diseases. The increase may be due to detoxification effect of fasting and consumption of fruits, almonds and dates rich in phytochemicals or nutraceuticals.
Fasting resulted in very minimal decreases in body water compartments. Fasting for prolonged duration of 29 days resulted in some beneficial effects and there were no adverse impact on body composition or blood parameters.
“The data will now be subjected to statistical analysis before making a manuscript to publish in an International journal of Nutrition and also present in conference,” Dr. Asna Urooj added.

It’s popular to blame the offensive line, Pete Carroll and the offensive calls or the overrated Legion of Boom for the Seattle Seahawks troubles this season, but it does feel like a lot of people are trying really hard not to talk about the fact that Russell Wilson is having a bad season.
Wilson had his worst game of the season in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals, dropping the Seahawks three games behind Arizona in the NFC West, putting their playoff aspirations in serious risk. Wilson was 14-of-32 in the game for 240 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He posted his lowest passer rating, QBR and completion percentages of the season, and it wasn’t even close. He did rush for 52 yards and was sacked a couple of times.
The Seahawks offensive line is ranked last in the NFL in pass protection, but 20% of the 33 times he’s been sacked are attributed to his mistakes in either not getting out of the pocket or not recognizing the blitz coming. The offensive line took a hit when the Seahawks made the trade to bring over Jimmy Graham and has slowly gotten better, and that’s helped show that Wilson also has a part to play in his team’s troubles, despite the meaningless projected career high in passing yards.
His touchdown percentage is down, like his passer rating. His sack percentage and interception ratio are both up. It does make one wonder about Wilson’s ceiling and whether or not he has already peaked as a pocket passer and as a quarterback, although everything seems to be a struggle this season for the Seahawks, no exclusions. Maybe the pressure of the big contract is getting to him as well. Whatever it is, the Seahawks are hoping this is part of an overall team decline, and not a telling sign about Wilson’s future progress or decline.
Maybe it’s just one game that has created unnecessary worry. Wilson is throwing at a higher completion percentage than ever before this season. The Cardinals game just might have been a rough Sunday Night, nothing more. However, it’s a situation worth watching closely, as the Seahawks prepare for a tough 7-game finish that includes another game against the Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers.
