THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
Anjan Deb, GM-IT (CIO), The Great Eastern Shipping
Ocean Logistics, as the name suggests, is transportation of Cargo over ocean from one port to another. Obviously, the large ships play major role of transportation over ocean. The industry broadly can be categorised as Oil Tanker, Dry Bulker. and Container. We will discuss on the first two categories.
The tanker and bulker take the major percentage of total business across the world. It’s a huge capital intensive business, as each ship usually cost at range starts from USD 10 million to USD 80-90 million plus and average ROI at the range of 8-9 yrs. On top of those, it requires huge shipping expertise to exist in the market. Shipping market is fully driven by international factors like Crude Oil price up &down, Chinese economic growth etc.
This industry attracted me, after spending many years in FMCG, BFSI sector because the IT usage was very low in comparison with other industries and there exists huge scope to really make the industry more technology driven.
I realised that the IT revolution actually happened on land in the last two decades or more but hardly anything happened in the sea.
In the shipping industry all ships are equivalent to floating branches; how it can be efficiently controlled without Internet connectivity, from shore, is the question
Historically, all Europeans started sailing and discovering unknown lands. The Europeans still tried to implement IT little bit but in India, it is far behind compared to other industries. There is no proper Internet connectivity available in Indian ship, a very limited 256 kbps broadband connectivity is there and we have huge constraint to manage ships remotely. Indian Govt. does not allow VSAT connectivity on Indian ships which can bring better connectivity and more bandwidth, citing security reason, as a result of which the bandwidth constraint prevails till date.
Today we cannot even think of working in an organization where all my branch offices are not connected. Similarly in the shipping industry all ships are equivalent to floating branches; how it can be efficiently controlled without Internet connectivity, from shore, is the question.
As a result, not many software products are available internationally to cater the industry’s day to day requirements. Some products are there from European based companies but they are running behind the show on their technological platform used which is quite outdated now. As the industry is much different in operations than other industries, no good standard ERP product is available. The regular ERP product like SAP will not fit the industry requirement. There exists a huge scope of IoT in this industry, as the shore staffs need to monitor, guide and track the ships 24/7 in any time zone remotely. IoT can even produce the ship’s engine’s dash board live on the desktop at shore office, which can be monitored to guide the people on board to get the most efficient way of running the ship and in turn save huge fuel cost.
Headquartered in Mumbai, India, and founded in 1948, The Great Eastern Shipping [BSE: 500620] is a private sector shipping service provider operating globally. The shipping giant operates under two main businesses: dry bulk carriers and tankers.See More: Top Fleet Management Technology companies in APAC

The Eagles' coach and chairman, Gary Hetherington, was Huddersfield's captain when Dixon made his professional debut there and tried to sign him when he launched the new club a couple of seasons later.
"We ran out of money, but I've brought him here at last," said Hetherington of the former Great Britain forward, 33, who has also played for Halifax and Leeds. "He is still very fit and strong and will add the experience that we need alongside our good young players."
The need for that sort of influence is apparent from Sheffield's position at the foot of the Championship, but victory tomorrow could take them above both Oldham and Workington, who are at home to Bradford.
Sheffield must wait until Tuesday for the arrival of their three Fijians, signed during the World Cup. However, Danny McAllister, a prop from the South Queensland Crushers, will make his first appearance along with Dixon.
Castleford's captain, Lee Crooks, is likely to be out for a further week with a hand injury, but Adrian Flynn and Colin Maskill are back from suspension against London Broncos.
For the Broncos, the task is clear. They must bring their defence up to the level of their attack after scoring 34 points but conceding 50 against St Helens in midweek - a defensive display that their captain, Terry Matterson, called "embarrassing".
In the First Division, the leaders Keighley are at home to Featherstone Rovers. Widnes, whose recurring cash-flow problems could force them to sell John Devereux to Warrington, are at Rochdale Hornets.
Warrington, who have the weekend off, want Devereux as a replacement for Jonathan Davies, while another Widnes Welshman, Adrian Hadley, says he has not been paid by the club and wants to go back to union.Reuse content

Percodan, Endodan, Percodan-Demi, Roxiprin
Percodan is a potent opioid painkiller used to treat moderately/severe but short-term pain.
Prior to Tylenol, Percodan was the main oral pain treatment due to the potency. Percodan has now largely been replaced by Percocet.
Percodan originally contained a small amount of caffeine.
The usual adult dosage of Percodan is one tablet every 6 hours or as needed for pain, not to exceed 12 tablets in 24 hours.
As all products containing oxycodone have the potential to be habit-forming, Percodan is no exception.
Percodan is subject to the Federal Controlled Substances Act (Schedule II); it was a favorite of and eagerly sought after by opiate addicts.
Many opiate addicts now prefer OxyContin. Percodan and Percocet each contain aspirin and Tylenol, respectively and OxyContin does not contain any other active ingredients besides oxycodone.

First Marshal of the Russian Federation: Sergeev Igor Dmitrievich
Igor Dmitrievich Sergeev is a man wholived a beautiful, bright life, dedicating it to serving the Fatherland and its traditions. As the first Marshal of the Russian Federation in history, he did a lot to strengthen the country's security and defense capability. About how he lived and reached such a high rank, read in the article.
Marshal of the Russian Federation in childhood
Igor Dmitrievich was born in a simple family of a miner in the Voroshilovgrad region on April 20 in 1938. With the newborn son, the parents move to Makeyevka (now Donetsk region, Ukraine).
In 1941 the Germans came. Three-year-old Igor Dmitrievich already felt then how terrible the word "war" is.
In 1955, the future Marshal of the Russian FederationHe graduated from the school with a gold medal and entered the Moscow State University. But since childhood he dreamed of becoming a sailor. After collecting the documents, he moved to Leningrad to enter the naval school. When Igor Dmitrievich was in the second year, the profile of his faculty was changed to engineering and transferred to Sevastopol. In 1960, he received a diploma (specialty "Control Systems for Missile Equipment") and continued his military service in the missile forces.
Military career Sergeeva I.D.
All ranks in the Soviet Army, whichexisted at that time, were assigned to Sergeyev while he served. And after he graduated from the academy of the General Staff, he was appointed to the post of chief of the staff association of the Vinnitsa region. Then there were the posts of the chief of the operational control of the General Staff of the Missile Forces, the first deputy. chief of staff, deputy. commander-in-chief of missile forces (combat training).
In 1992, Sergeev became head of the Strategic Missile Forces. This was a very difficult period in his life, since, despite the fact that the USSR no longer existed, the missile forces in all the republics of the former great power demanded control. Their reorganization (the movement of missile technology, nuclear munitions, fuel) took a lot of time and strength of all officers, but nevertheless they retained combat capability and became the basis for the modern Russian Army. Great in that merit and Sergeev Igor Dmitrievich.
Sergeev I.D. - Marshal of the Russian Federation
In May 1997, B.N. Yeltsin at the Collegium of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to appoint Sergeyev acting. Minister of Defense. For him, this was unexpected news, but he promised to do everything that depends on him, so that the armed forces of Russia provide a reliable defense of the country. A month later they removed the prefix "acting" and within 4 years Sergeyev successfully carried out his work.
In 1997, on November 21, Igor Dmitrievich waswas given the higher rank "Marshal of the Russian Federation". He was the first and so far the only person to receive such an honor. In subsequent years he was an assistant to the president of the Russian Federation (since 2001), since 2005 he is the president of the Club of Russian military commanders.
Igor Dmitrievich liked to speak in front ofexcellent students of Nakhimov and Suvorov schools, which they collected for the delivery of nominal scholarships. In August 2006, he addressed them for the last time. Then already he was very sick, moved with difficulty and spoke only in a whisper. The young fighters were warned that the only Russian marshal in Russia had come to meet them. And how he came to them - without a stick, with a smile on his face. He said a few words so that everyone thought that he was just hoarse a little.
The same year, November 10 Igor SergeevDmitrievich was gone. In memory of him, the school where he studied, was named after him, opened a museum and a memorial plaque and in 2008 erected a monument to this great man.

99% Invisible: Negative Space
Michael Bierut is an award-winning designer, partner at Pentagram in New York City, and author of various books on design.
Over his decades in the field of graphic design, he has witnessed a shift in public awareness, especially when it comes to logos. With this increased attention, some endeavors (like political campaigns) that once relied on relatively simple conventions (candidate names and variations on flags) are being called upon to develop more refined and versatile solutions. Logos are somewhat exceptional elements in the realm of graphic design [...]

Happy Saturday! It's time for another Saturday morning Our Creative Corner challenge, only starting this week I'm officially an OCC Girl! Woohoo!
This week's challenge is in honor of this month's hostess, the fabulous Amy Sheffer. She turns the big 4-0 this week, and her challenge is to make a humorous card to keep her laughing instead of crying. We'd love to have you play along. You'll find all the details, along with samples from the other OCC designers (Amy, Cindy, Dawn, Denise, Jennifer, Laurie, and Lynda), over on the Our Creative Corner blog.
My card uses stamps from the new You Say It's Your Birthday set by The Cat's Pajamas. I started by stamping Sprinkle with her present on an embossed and matted Classic Nestabilities Oval. I then colored her with Copics and added some black dots to the scallops. Next I inked up just the first part of the sentiment and stamped on the yellow-orange strip. I then inked up just the Again! part of the sentiment and stamped on white and placed below the horizontal panel as a little tab. To finish, I stamped the presents across the blue cardstock three times then colored with copics and a white gel pen. It was really a simple card to make, but I love how bold it is.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. If you're looking for some more weekend stamping fun, be sure to check out the OSW challenge over on the Verve forum. Several lucky winners will receive the new Verve sets that release next week, so be sure to give it a go before time runs out!
This blog is for personal inspiration only and all projects are my original designs unless otherwise stated. I own Verve Stamps and have received products and materials to work with from several generous companies over the years. While I have received free products from these companies, I maintain the freedom as an independent designer to say what I truly think of their products. I will never recommend something that I don’t personally use and enjoy.

How does a "One-Time" class work?
Meets once at a scheduled time
Live video chat, recorded and monitored for safety and quality
Great for exploring new interests and different styles of teachers
How Outschool Works
There are no open spots for this class, but you can request another time or scroll down to find more classes like this.
**PLEASE NOTE** Occasionally, I run a class with fewer than 3 students. When I do, the class often runs shorter than the amount of time listed, due to the fact that less time is used with introductions, or with differing abilities and processing speeds in different students. The content is exactly the same, and in fact, can be considered a bargain for a private class. In this fun one-time class, students will learn to draw a classic cartoon Gnome! We will use simple lines and shapes to draw...
As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Once we get the basics done, I give my students freedom to complete their project using their own imagination, thereby giving them the opportunity to take what I have taught them to a different, fun and creative level.

As the nation has focused on the Supreme Court hearings on the constitutionality of same sex marriage, news from the state of Indiana could prove far more important regarding the nations future.
The Indiana Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled unanimously, 5-0, that the states school voucher program -- signed into law in 2011 and the most expansive school voucher program in the nation -- does not violate the states constitution.
Those who challenged the law argued that the voucher program is unconstitutional because it allows public funds to be used for religious education.
Not so, said the court. The voucher goes to the families, not the schools. It is the parents who decide how to spend it.
Why do I draw connection between the U.S. Supreme Courts review of same-sex marriage and this voucher decision in Indiana? And why do I suggest that the Indiana decision may be more important to the nations future than whatever the Supreme Court decides on same-sex marriage?
Same-sex marriage sits before the Supreme Court today because of the dramatic change in public opinion over recent years regarding the legitimacy and morality of same-sex marriage and homosexual relations. General public opinion is far more accepting today of both than it has been in the past.
What has driven this change?
One obvious place to look is the direct generational correlation regarding acceptance of same-sex marriage. Younger Americans are far more accepting of these values than older Americans.
According to the latest survey from the Pew Research Center, approval of same-sex marriage among those born between 1928-1945 is 31 percent; 1946-1964, 38 percent; 1965-1980, 49 percent; and after 1980, 70 percent.
So it seems quite reasonable to conclude that the last half century's systematic purge of religion and traditional values from our public schools has produced a new generation of Americans with values different from those of their parents and grandparents.
In 1962, the Supreme Court found state-sponsored school prayer unconstitutional. Subsequently, the Supreme Court found unconstitutional: posting of the Ten Commandments in public schools (1980), public schools setting aside time for private or voluntary prayer (1985), and performance of religious activity at school promotional and graduation ceremonies (1992).
The rationale behind all these decisions was supposedly to preserve and protect religious liberty in our public schools.
But this is not at all what has been happening. The result has not been value-free public schools that just teach reading, writing and arithmetic. The result has been to purge traditional religious values from our public schools and replace them with different values: secular humanism.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, all states are somehow involved in sex education for public school children.
The National Education Association, the nations largest teachers union, thought it relevant to its mission to issue a press statement about the same-sex marriage cases currently before the Supreme Court. According to the NEAs statement on Californias Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act:
Proposition 8 and DOMA (both of which support traditional marriage) arent just unconstitutional, they contradict American values of fairness, inclusion and freedom for all.
So somehow it is fair and constitutional, in the view of the NEA, that our schools not be permitted to teach right and wrong, as Christians have understood them from the Bible for a few thousand years, while it is fair and free to teach secular humanism in their place.
Thanks to former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, who signed into law the Indiana voucher program, and a sane and sober court in Indiana, Indiana helps pave the way for a new birth of education freedom in America, in which parents can choose where to send their children to school.
No longer will kids be captive to left-wing brainwashing in Indiana public schools. Hopefully, soon this will be the case nationwide.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO’s emergencies department, said the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among gay and bisexual men at two raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals.
“We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission,” said Heymann.
That marks a significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly infected by animals like wild rodents and primates and outbreaks have not spilled across borders.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh late Monday night in a money-laundering case.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader was arrested after over 12 hours of questioning.
The money-laundering case is linked to an alleged extortion racket in the Maharashtra Police establishment.
A media report quoted officials as saying that 71-year-old Deshmukh was arrested as per the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh was evasive during questioning, the officials said.
The Enforcement Directorate will seek Deshmukh’s custody after he is produced before a local court in Mumbai on Tuesday.
It has been reported that Deshmukh reached the ED office in the Ballard Estate area of south Mumbai around 11:40 AM.
He was accompanied by his lawyer and associates.
After his arrival in the ED office, the sleuths of the agency continued to grill him for several hours and arrested the politician at night.
Deshmukh appeared before ED after the Bombay High Court last week refused to quash the summons.
The former Maharashtra home minister skipped at least 5 ED notices.
The CBI booked him in a corruption case related to allegations of at least Rs 100 crore bribery made by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh after which the money laundering case was made out against Deshmukh and others.

text: The distribution of the lagoon cockle Cerastoderma glaucum is strongly fragmented and usually restricted to isolated, shallow and nontidal lagoons. A high level of genetic structuring was found among the European populations of this species based on mtDNA (COI) sequences, as well as allozymic and microsatellite markers. However, the strengths and geographic locations of the major divisions differed among markers. In the present study we characterized the diversity of a new, potentially universal exon-primed intron-crossing marker, i34, for 17 C. glaucum populations. Allele frequency data at the i34 locus were informative and relevant with respect to geography. Multivariate analyses of new data together with previously published microsatellites confirmed the divergent character of the Ionian Sea and the Aegean-Ponto-Caspian populations, but also revealed the existence of a genetic cline from the Bay of Biscay to the Baltic Sea. Some noncongruent patterns among loci were detected, which may reflect either differential introgression along the genome at the hypothetical contact zone, or selective sweeps. This strong genetic differentiation, and the occurrence of private alleles, may hint at the presence of cryptic species within C. glaucum.

Having played Sumi in Badhaai Do and having watched her on-screen now, how do you feel about playing this character and what has been your biggest takeaway?
I was really lucky that I got to play ‘Sumi’. She’s so vulnerable, headstrong and fiery, she has lived her whole life in claustrophobia but she has survived it. So I loved her survival spirit. I think she’s funny, witty, she keeps Shardul (Rajkummar Rao’s character) in his place, she really gives back to Raj and I feel like our relationship is like Tom and Jerry in the movie, so it becomes refreshing. You always see a hero and a heroine romantically opposite each other but here, we are friends, we are companions, roommates, we are husband and wife, but by the end of it they are just two human beings in a similar situation and they are so connected to each other. What I loved most about Sumi is the fact that she’s fearful, she’s not always right, she’s not always full of courage, she’s scared, yet she does bold things in the film.
There’s still a lot of stigma attached to how homosexuals are perceived and accepted by society in India. Were you apprehensive about receiving similar reactions to your performance?
I have had many scripts in the past where I have had an opportunity to play a character of the LGBTQIA community, but the politics of the film never worked for me. I always felt like they are desensitizing the subject, at the end of it, it just becomes about convenience and pleasing the audience. What was beautiful about ‘Badhaai Do’ is that it’s not a film made to please or to make the audience feel comfortable, it makes you think, but you’re thinking while you’re laughing. There are so many things in the film that will make you laugh and then you’ll think, ‘Should I be laughing at this?’. Anybody who’s woke, sensible and sensitive has had that moment. This film is very personal to me and the politics of the film had to be very correct for me because I have so many friends and family members who are from the LGBTQIA community. I have lived a life with them very closely. I have been a part of many coming-out love stories, I have been a part of people feeling discriminated against or my friends having nights where they have cried, or moments of joy when they come out to their families and their families have said, ‘What’s the big deal? It’s okay! We still love you!’. There have also been many who were completely not accepted. So when anybody who’s going through this dilemma sees Raj and me in this film, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, that is my story, that has happened to me’. Obviously not everyone will connect like that, but there are moments.
How difficult or easy was it for you to transition into your character?
I was very conscious even while playing her, I did not want people to feel like there’s a heroine who’s playing the role. I wanted it to be as raw as it can be, the lack of make-up, the pimple that you see on my face, the dirty hair, I just wanted to be as relatable as possible.
Were you able to relate to the fact that our family and parents are the first people who have to deal with the problem of acceptance towards our sexuality?
Not just the parents but even the younger generation struggles with it at times, because it is about social conditioning, it is about what your parents teach you. So if your parents teach you that this is not normal and that a woman loving a woman is wrong or it’s a ‘paap’ or whatever silly stuff that people say, definitely there’s a generation that completely believes in not accepting, but there’s a large part of society that irrespective of their age, also believes in it.
Did you at any point during the making of Badhaai Do get overwhelmed and emotional because of the emotions and feelings of your character?
There are many moments where I got emotional because there were so many times that I went back to a memory of a friend who was suffering, a family member who was suffering. The narrative of the film is comedy, it’s a film that really makes you laugh but you really don’t realise when the ‘sur’ of the film changes and it just hits you. I think that is the only experience that I had when I watched the film. There were many emotional moments during the making. There were days when, Raj and I were doing a comic scene and the entire set would laugh and when we were doing an emotional scene, the entire set would cry.
Your film speaks of a right for inclusivity and it reflects on the fact that we still have a long way to go till everyone opens up and accepts individual choices. Of late, we’ve had so many conversations about marriages, adoption, freedom of choice and speech. Do you feel we are slowly and steadily heading in the right direction?
I feel like as individuals, we need to have the freedom to live the life that we want. It can be the freedom to love a person, but sexual identity or a gender that I relate to cannot be the only thing that defines me. Definitely it’s a long fight, just acceptance among your family is the first step out of the closet, then the closet becomes bigger, then it is the people around you, the neighbour, society, system, laws… it feels like the closet just keeps getting bigger. When does the closet break open? When there’s no kind of discrimination and there’s a long way ahead for that.
Was it difficult for you to do romantic scenes with your co-star Chum Darang?
Not at all! Look I was playing a character, even when I’m playing a straight girl, by the end of it the man opposite is an actor who I’m performing with and these are two characters that are together. So I wasn’t uncomfortable at all. In fact I feel that my chemistry with Chum is really special.
Have you ever had a woman falling in love with you?
Not yet. Not that I know of. Even if that ever happens, I’ll be extremely flattered..
How was the experience of working with Rajkummar Rao in this movie?
I think our chemistry in Badhaai Do is good because I feel Sumi and Shardul were written that way. Raj has become one of my closest friends. We have done two films together and I’m so thankful that ‘Badhaai Do’ was the first film with him because, I don’t know if it’s Sumi and Shardul’s chemistry that translated into me and Raj being such good friends or Raj and I became such good friends that it came into the chemistry our characters. He’s a phenomenal co-star, he’s a phenomenal human being, he’s one of the closest people in my life right now. Badhaai Do has been such a special film. I think Raj will always have such a special place in my heart like Ayushmann does, because he was my first hero. I feel like Raj has elevated my work as an actor and I hope I did the same for him.
Badhaai Ho, the first movie in the franchise, was with Ayushmann Khurrana, one of your favourite co-stars. And now Badhaai Do, features you with Rajkummar, another one of your favourites. Do you feel you have a special connection with this franchise?
Absolutely! ‘Badhaai Ho‘ is a film worth celebrating. The Badhaai franchise is about celebrating and making films in a way that is meant for a family audience where an entire family can sit together, watch a film, enjoy it, laugh, but these films also leave you with a message. It is about de-stigmatizing a lot of things from society as well. ‘Badhaai Ho’ is one of Ayushmann’s most loved films and I really hope that kind of love gets translated to our film as well.
Recently you also spoke in support of Shah Rukh Khan blowing a dua at Lata Mangeshkar’s funeral. Even though you, too, got trolled by some netizens, was lending support to SRK and his gesture the important thing to do?
I did not know about the trolling. I just shared that image because I feel like this is what India is. India is about all of us coexisting together without any discrimination or bias. As I said, love is love and equality for all is what I believe in.
On the subject of love, your saree with inscriptions of the word love in different languages became quite the internet sensation. Can you tell us something about it?
Well it’s a great saree made by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, it was from their prime collection and the day I saw that collection I told them that I’m going to wear this saree when ‘Badhaai Ho’ comes out. I feel that the concept of that entire collection is beautiful because it has love written in different Indian languages and it is something that really moved me and it is exactly what ‘Badhaai Do’ represents, it is about celebrating love, love for yourself, love for your partner, love for humanity.
Do you have a message for your fans for Valentine’s Day?
The message to my fans for Valentine’s day is that, my plan is to go watch ‘Badhaai Do’ and you must do the same. Make your Valentine’s day special by going with your partner, your family, loved ones, go celebrate this film. Go celebrate the month of love with ‘Badhaai Do’.

Speaker Bios and Abstracts
Léo Czajka: 'Combining Fiscal and Survey Data to Measure Inequality in a Developing Country: The Case of the Ivory Coast in 2014'
Léo Czajka is a recent masters graduate of the Paris School of Economics (PSE). He is currently a research assistant for the World Wealth and Income Database (wid.world) project at PSE, working on income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Abstract Until very recently, data on income distribution in Sub-Saharan Africa has been mainly used to estimate poverty rates. Yet, the rapid growth experienced by several countries in the last two decades suggests looking beyond the bottom of the income distribution. All existing studies on income concentration in Sub-Saharan Africa rely solely on survey data, but due to under declaration or under sampling biases, such instruments often fail to accurately measure the income of the wealthiest individuals. Furthermore little is known about the size of such biases as it requires to have access to more reliable sources of information, which are particularly scarce across the continent. In this presentation, we will first describe what we know about inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa and why it would deserve to be further studied. Then we will confront survey data with first-hand income tax files in the case of Ivory Coast in 2014 and illustrate how they can diverge. Finally we will correct survey data using the information provided by the tax files. Our results show that the 2014-2015 survey underestimated the Gini coefficient by about 4-5 points, and the top 1 per cent share by at least 6 percentage points.
See you there!

I absolutely love fried chicken, so much I crave it. I love the combination of crispy, crunchy, salty skin and the tender juicy meat. Sadly, I have never been able to fry whole chicken pieces (ie. thighs, breast) with much success. I have always ended up burning the chicken because it’s not done or it’s golden brown, but not cooked through. I can never get it to come out right.
At some point I resorted to only using wings when I have a craving for fried chicken. They are so much easier to fry. It’s really hard to screw up chicken wings because they usually only take 5 minutes to fry and they are done. Also, it’s hard to burn something when only frying it for 5 minutes, unless your oil is ridiculously hot.
Korean fried chicken is different than traditionally southern fried chicken because the coating is crispy and airy. The secret is in the cornstarch coating and addition of baking powder. In this recipe there is also gochugaru, onion powder, and garlic powder for additional savory flavor. Gochugaru is a Korean chile pepper powder (or flakes). If you don’t have it or can’t find it, you can use a few pinches of cayenne powder.
The chicken is pre-coated in cornstarch and then needs to sit uncovered for a little while. This helps the chicken dry out a bit and the batter stick. Yes, weirdly enough there is a batter used here. I promise you this will still result in deliciously crispy crunchy chicken. In the batter, there is fine matzo meal. This adds crunch to the chicken. If you can’t find matzo meal just buy unsalted matzo crackers and throw them in the food processor. I wouldn’t use saltines because of salt and they are not as dry as matzo.
This has become my go to recipe for fried chicken and I use wings because it makes my life so much easier. This chicken has so much flavor, that I have not made traditional fried chicken since I found this recipe. I am sure it will change your life like it has mine.
Korean Fried Chicken Wings
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
10 grinds of black pepper
12 chicken wings
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup fine matzo meal
2 tbsp gochugaru chile powder (alternatively a few pinches of cayenne powder)
1 tbsp kosher salt
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 cup water
1/3 cup vodka
Oil, for frying (we use peanut oil)
Pre-coating: Whisk all the ingredients (except for the chicken) in a large bowl, add in the chicken and toss well to coat. Make sure each wing is coated evenly, use your hands if necessary. Shake off the excess cornstarch and place on a rack. Let rest uncovered for one hour.
In a large dutch oven, pour enough oil to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°.
Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (water and vodka). Right before frying, whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. The batter should be fairly thin and runny.
Frying: Working in batches, dip each piece wing into the batter. Let the excess batter run off the wing. Suspend the wing into the hot oil, holding for a few seconds before letting it go. This keeps the wing from falling to the bottom and sticking. Fry the chicken for approximately 7-9 minutes. I did not fry more than 4 wings at a time, you do not want to crowd the pot. Transfer to a rack to drain.

PEOPLE with illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and asthma are strongly advised to get fully vaccinated against covid19 as soon as possible.
Dr Abdul Hamid from the North Central Regional Health Authority (NCRHA) offered this advice to the public during the virtual health news conference on Wednesday.
At the same briefing, NCRHA CEO Davlin Thomas said a total of 181,845 people have been vaccinated against covid19 at the NCRHA's facilities to date. He added that 60-69 per cent of the NCRHA's doctors and nurses have been vaccinated to date as well.
Hamid said diabetes, hypertension, cancer and asthma are among the illnesses that pose an "extremely high risk for death and disability after a covid19 infection."
Using diabetes as an example, Hamid said people with Type 2 diabetes "are more likely to have quite serious complications...more ICU (intensive care unit) admissions...longer length of stay and death from covid19." He added this was supported by recent studies in the US.
Hamid said approximately 30 per cent of the population suffers from hypertension. Within that figure, he said 20 per cent of adults or 300,000 people have hypertension.
"Growing data shows a higher risk of covid19 infections and complications (in) people with high blood pressure, and we saw this from the outset of covid19 infections worldwide."
Hamid said a recent study showed 76 per cent of patients who died from covid19 had hypertension.
In terms of heart disease, he said, "Covid19 can damage your heart directly, especially if your heart is already weakened by the effect of high blood pressure.
"Covid19 may cause inflammation of the heart muscle..,a condition called myocarditis..which makes it harder for the heart to pump blood."
In addition, he said there was a high incidence of covid19 in cancer patients relative to the general population.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Hamid continued, considered that cancer "represents an established or probable risk for severe covid19 (infection).
"Cancer patients with fever or lower respiratory symptoms such as coughs are prioritised for covid19 testing."
Hamid advised that everyone with active or prior cancer who is eligible to be vaccinated "should be vaccinated against covid19.
Hamid and Thomas said the NCRHA has been liaising with organisations who want to get their members vaccinated, to send medical personnel to vaccinate their members on site. They said there has been a positive response to this initiative.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Roshan Parasram recalled an initiative last weekend for people to receive covid19 vaccines in different shopping malls throughout TT.
"We are continuing our outreach across the country with various RHAs (regional health authorities)."
On a report that some tents at a drive-through location in Wallerfield had been blown down, disrupting vaccination there, Thomas said that situation was quickly rectified.
"We have a number of different types of vaccines that are being issued at that drive-through. They were available the very next day."

Parasites passed by cats are killing sea otters, who contract encephalitis when the pathogen enters their brains. Toxoplasma gondii enters the ocean via outfalls and becomes concentrated in filter-feeding animals like mussels and crabs – a favorite of otters. Surveys showed that 76 percent of otters near urban outfalls harbored the parasite.
Cats become infected after eating wild animals and can shed millions of long-lived eggs even when they show no symptoms. The pathogen can survive wastewater treatment so all litter and feces should go in the trash (composting does not kill parasite eggs). Be sure to pick up feces outside too as pathogens also enter the ocean via run-off.
Protect sea otters – don’t flush kitty litter down the toilet. A parasite carried by cats is entering the ocean via storm drains and outfalls, causing disease in this already threatened species.

Last weekend our speaker at the Vegetarian Society of El
Paso dinner was Gail Eisnitz, author of the book Slaughterhouse: The
Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S.
Gail is the main investigator for the Humane Farming
Association and a former investigator for the Humane Society of the US,
and an incredibly courageous woman who has given so much of herself to
find and expose the truth behind the closed doors of slaughterhouses
The information she has gathered is the result of almost
ten years of field research, interviewing hundreds of slaughterhouse
workers, USDA meat inspectors and others in the industry. And the
information is horrendous to contemplate.
Attendance at our dinner was about 75, down from the
usual hundred or so people who normally attend, and sales of Gail's book
weren't great that evening. Even I wasn't sure I wanted to read it, but
after Gail's talk I decided I needed to. The next day I read two-thirds
of the book at one sitting and finished it the following day.
Technically, it is well constructed, and has been compared to a
detective story. To me it read like a mystery story, and the mystery
remains - How could a branch of our government become as corrupt as the
US Department of Agriculture and go unexposed for so long?
The USDA is the federal agency entrusted with the
responsibility to inspect meat for quality and is also charged with
enforcing the Humane Slaughter Act. This act, made law by Congress in
1958 and updated in the late seventies, made it mandatory for
slaughterhouses to render animals unconscious before slaughtering and
provided that no animals would be subjected to unnecessary pain or
cruelty before slaughter.
Ever since the deregulation of the meat industry during
the Reagon/Bush years, USDA meat inspectors have lost their powers to
even enforce meat quality regulations. The meat industry controls the
USDA through bribery and collusion and profit drives the industry above
all else; animal abuse and even the health of the workers and the US
consumers is of little importance.
Slaughterhouse workers and meat inspectors who complain
about sanitation, animal abuse and other conditions are disciplined,
punished or fired. One of my favorite quotes in the book is from a USDA
inspector who says...
"We used to trim the shit off meat,
then we washed the shit off meat.
Now the consumer eats the shit off the meat."
The Humane Slaughter Act (HSA) is completely ignored by
the industry and is not enforced by the federal meat inspectors, who
have enough trouble inspecting for obvious fecal contamination, tumors
and pus, as carcasses pass them at rates as fast as one body every three
The current "meat inspection" program in effect by the
USDA is to leave the inspection in the hands of the meat industry plant
managers, it is called Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
and leaves the inspection for points in the plant where the meat might
be contaminated up to the plants to correct.
USDA meat inspectors have another name for the HACCP
program - Have A Cup of Coffee and Pray. Cases of food poisoning from
meat have increased by a factor of 4 in the last decade.
The shocking truth from behind slaughterhouse doors is
how rampant animal cruelty is in the industry, and that between a
quarter and a third of all the cows, pigs and chickens are not properly
stunned and bled as required by the Humane Slaughter Act and are being
skinned, dismembered, and/or boiled alive and conscious.

corruption, go to Amazon.com: buying info: Slaughterhouse : The Shocking

Intel OpenVINO™ Toolkit: анализ производительности выполнения генеративно-состязательных нейронных сетей
The paper provides an overview of the current state of the implementation of neural networks and their methods of execution. A detailed description of the main components of the Intel® OpenVINO ™ Toolkit for executing neural networks on various Intel hardware platforms (CPU, GPU, Neural Compute Stick 2) is considered. The works in which this toolkit is used are investigated and the conclusions made in them are presented. Before carrying out the experiment, the selection of various generative adversarial neural networks, data sets for testing them, and the process of launching neural networks on selected hardware platforms (four experimental stands with different hardware equipment) and obtaining results are described. Based on the results of the experiments, the obtained data are presented based on two metrics: performance in FPS and the cost of using the tested hardware platform to execute a neural network. Based on the data obtained, the analysis of the performance metrics of the previously selected generative adversarial neural networks is carried out without the use of tools, using the OpenVINO ™ Toolkit in the usual mode, as well as using the Multi-Device Plugin and Heterogeneous Plugin on several connected devices.

An American Express program on Foursquare stands to give the geo-location “check-in” service a big boost.
American Express and Foursquare, in a statement today, said “couponless specials” will be offered to consumers who buy services or products at participating merchants.
Under the program, a person would check in at a merchant who is offering a discount on Foursquare, buy a service or product, pay with her American Express card, and then receive the discount on her Amex statement.
At launch, participating merchants are H&M, Sports Authority, and four restaurants owned by the New York City-based Union Square Hospitality Group. An Amex cardholder who spends $75 at H&M, for instance, will receive a $10 credit.
Executives from American Express said they expect the program will “expand rapidly to include additional national and local merchant offers in the coming weeks and months.”
Foursquare will not receive revenue from American Express, according to reports. However, its association with American Express could increase the number of people who actively use Foursquare, which claims to have 10 million members. And that could be key to the future of Foursquare, which has been facing increasing competition from rivals that include Facebook, Google, and Groupon.
Tristan Walker, Foursquare’s business development director, said the program will help merchants determine the value of its Amex-Foursquare promotions. Metrics that merchants can track include impressions, check-ins, and “loads,” which he defined as the special offers that are uploaded to a cardholder’s account. He emphasized that Foursquare will not have access to cardholder account information or personally identifiable information, but potentially will be able to obtain metrics about consumer response to offers, broken down by merchants.
People who use Foursquare typically “check in” when they visit a location, such as a business, landmark, or other place. And some businesses offer virtual badges or discounts to people on Foursquare, using the service to reward loyal customers or attract new business.
American Express worked with Foursquare on a trial basis in March at SXSW in Austin, TX. At that time, American Express awarded $5 credits to cardholders who checked in at a venue participating in the promotion.
American Express does not rule out rolling out this program to Facebook or other sites. “We’re very close partners with Facebook and they are a good platform to present these types of deals,” said Luke Gebb, VP, global network marketing at American Express. “We don’t have anything to announce, but that’s a great example of what we want to do.”
Marketers' spending on social media has tripled in the past seven years but falls way short of where marketers expected it to be when they peered into their crystal balls in 2009.
Advertisers have been flocking to Snapchat, which now has more daily users than Twitter and is increasingly seen as perhaps the biggest threat to Facebook's dominance in social.
There is an increasing demand for content among marketers, but how can you ensure that your content marketing strategy is effective?
Header bidding is a programmatic technique that allows publishers to offer their inventory through multiple ad exchanges before they serve up ads from their ad server.


text: In this article, we review the clinical applications of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the radiotherapy treatment of several key clinical sites, including those of the central nervous system, the head and neck, the prostate, and the cervix. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is an imaging technique that is rapidly gaining widespread acceptance owing to its ease and wide availability. DWI measures the mobility of water within tissue at the cellular level without the need of any exogenous contrast agent. For radiotherapy treatment planning, DWI improves upon conventional imaging techniques, by better characterization of tumor tissue properties required for tumor grading, diagnosis, and target volume delineation. Because DWI is also a sensitive marker for alterations in tumor cellularity, it has potential clinical applications in the early assessment of treatment response following radiation therapy.

Poem for Wisconsin
by Matthew Zapruder
In Milwaukee it is snowing on the golden statue of the 1970s television star whose television house was in Milwaukee and also on the Comet Cafe and on the white museum the famous Spanish architect built with a glass elevator through it and a room with a button that when you press it makes two wings on the sides of the building more quickly than you might imagine mechanically rise like a clumsy thoughtful bird thinking now I am at last ready
Read the rest of this poem here.
I really like the one-line stanzas--the way they slow you down, encouraging you to contemplate each and every word so closely. And its rambling nature appeals to me. And I just have a thing for poems with geography references. I'll delve into that another day, I suppose.
Stay tuned for more new poems throughout National Poetry Month!
