We all go to parties but there are a few essential etiquettes that must be followed at any party. Take a look.... - Don't mix your drinks. If you want to stay free from a hangover the next day, then stick to the same drink all through the night. - Eat regularly. Finger food, fries and some meat as all of these can ensure that you feel just right all through the night. - Don't drink and drive. After all, multitasking isn't an easy job. Ensure you have a designated driver for the night, who doesn't drink and can organize for a cab if you feel you've had that little too much alcohol.

MADURAI: It would be ideal to turn off the ignition in the road signals especially the ones where vehicles had to be stopped more than 30 seconds. But the timers fixed in many of the road signals in the city are defunct or function intermittently. Among the signals in the city, the ones at Kalavasal and Goripalayam Junctions are longer ones, as they are crisscrossed from all directions. Road users are left to guess when the signals may turn green and leave the ignition on, thus coughing up more fuel, besides causing automobile pollution.

MUMBAI: In a clear sign of shrinking spaces on the city's roads, the unregulated parking of vehicles resulted in 4.5 lakh offences in 2012 alone. To tackle the issue, the urban development department will implement suggestions made by a high-powered committee to set up a comprehensive parking unit (CPU) as well as introduce a parking policy. An 11-member panel appointed by the high court has suggested drawing up a 'strong and effective' parking policy to systemize on-street parking by not granting 'change of use' permission unless provisions of mandatory parking requirements are followed.

Youngsters show a lot of rage on the road, is it because they are spoilt? You see youngsters racing cars with a screeching sound on the roads, indulging in dirt biking and even young women in their early 20s riding cars and treating the pedestrians as if they don't exist on the road. A few days back, an elderly woman in her 60s was getting out of a multiplex with her daughter and walking down the street. Suddenly two young women driving a Maruti Swift started honking crazily behind them to make way, to the extent that the elderly woman almost lost her balance.

How to Fix a frozen air conditioner?
We are often asked the question, why is my air conditioner freezing up? Figuring out what is causing your air conditioner to ice up can be frustrating, but it is not an uncommon problem. If you’ve read any of our articles, then you know that we are a small, U.S. Veteran-Owned company in Southern California, and pride ourselves on giving honest, straight answers. In fact, most of our posts address either one of two things: first, common air conditioning problems that people have, or second, the questions we get asked most frequently. There are a number of reasons for an air conditioner to freeze up, and it really doesn’t matter whether it is a window AC unit or a central air conditioner – the causes of, and solutions to, an air conditioner that keeps freezing up are exactly the same. It is important to address this issue – a frozen air conditioner will not only cool improperly, but can actually be severely damaged if it keeps freezing up. If you have this problem, you have to address it immediately – it won’t solve itself. In this article, we will tell you what causes a central air conditioner freeze up, and what you can do to fix it.
Standby for a small high school physics lesson. We don’t need to go too in depth, so bear with me, but understanding this principle is the key to figuring out why your air conditioner is freezing up. The Joule-Thomson Effect is a principle in thermodynamics which states that if everything else is kept constant, then as a gas expands, its pressure decreases, and its temperature will also decrease. Likewise, as a gas is compressed, its temperature will increase.
This is because what we sense as temperature is really just a measurement of the amount of energy a molecule has. Simply put, if air molecules are bouncing around rapidly, then you would feel this air as hot. If air molecules are moving around slowly and sluggishly, then you would feel this air as cold. It’s that simple.
So what? This is important to understand because it forms the basis for how your air conditioner works. Your system works by allowing your evaporator coil to expand refrigerant inside of it, causing the coil to cool rapidly. As this rapidly cooled coil comes into contact with your home’s air (which your air conditioner blows over this now cooled coil), the refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air inside of your home.
This newly heated refrigerant is then transported outside of your home where it is compressed, causing it to heat up and transfer the heat that was once inside of your home to the outside air. The cycle then repeats itself over and over again, cooling your home in the process. For more information on the Joule-Thomson Effect, visit this page on Wiki: Joule-Thomson Effect.
Why is this important? Well because this effect is used to allow your air conditioner to cool the air inside of your house. But any time you change part of the equation, you might throw the system out of whack. So to keep this simple, your air conditioner is freezing up because something has altered your system in such a way that it is cooling your evaporator coil more than it should, causing the unit to freeze up. Now that you know how, what you have to do is figure out why your air conditioner is freezing up, and to do this you have to figure out what it was that threw your AC system out of whack. We will do this in the next section.
If you want to delve more into how exactly it is that your air conditioner cools air, take a look at: The Joule-Thomson Effect – Why Your Air Conditioner is Freezing Up, or just watch the video below:
Now that you have a basic idea of how your air conditioner uses expansion and compression to heat and cool its Freon (what is Freon?), you can figure out why your central air conditioner is icing up. Your air conditioner can freeze up for a variety of reasons, so we will discuss them from the most common to some of the more rare causes of ice up.
All of these causes are rooted in the Joule-Thomson Effect discussed above, so if you skipped past it, I’d recommend that you take a quick look or just watch the video above. Simply put, your air conditioner is freezing up because something is either causing the Freon in your system to expand more than it is designed to, which in turn is making your coils colder than normal, or something is preventing the air in your house from transferring its heat into your system. Either way, this causes your evaporator coil to drop below freezing and your air conditioner to freeze up. Here are some common causes:
1. Insufficient air flow across your air conditioner’s evaporator coil can cause it to freeze up.
In a split air conditioner (the most common type – see: What is a Split Air Conditioner?), our air conditioner is designed to drop the temperature of your house by taking heat from it. If your air conditioner is not properly blowing your inside air over the evaporator coil, then this heat exchange cannot take place and the Freon that should be removing heat from your home is not. Over time, its temperature will continue to drop and your air conditioner can freeze up.
2. If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, then your air conditioner can freeze up.
This is due to lower pressure inside the system itself. This is because now there is less Freon in your system, but it is still being forced to expand the same amount – more expansion equals a cooler temperature. As your air conditioner’s evaporator coil drops below freezing, the moisture in your air will freeze as it comes into contact with your coil causing it to ice up.
3. Air conditioners are designed to function in a very specific temperature range.
If you are running your air conditioner when the outside air is below around 62 degrees, then the pressures inside of your system will drop and this can cause a freeze up of your central air conditioner.
4. Mechanical failures can cause your air conditioner to freeze up.
If there is a kink in your refrigerant lines, a blower fan that is not running or is dinged and out of balance, or a clogged filter dryer? These too can change the pressure in your system and make your central air conditioner freeze up.
But which is it, and how do I fix it? How to troubleshoot an air conditioner that is freezing up will be discussed in the next section. However, if you’ve already determined that it’s time to replace, make sure that you don’t overpay. This program will save you money, help you avoid the scams, tricks and traps of predatory contractors, and accept or reject bids with confidence:
Just because your air conditioner is freezing up does not mean that you have to call your HVAC contractor! Some contractors will tell you that they are the only ones that should touch your AC unit (I have never believed that), and if you don’t feel comfortable around your air conditioner then you should definitely call out a contractor. Either way, the first thing you need to do is turn your air conditioner off and allow it to defrost. Ice can harm your air conditioner! Next, if you do feel comfortable and if you have even a basic touch of the handy-man bug, then there are a few things that you should take a look at before you call your local air conditioning repair service. In order to troubleshoot a frozen air conditioner, I’d recommend you do the following steps in order:


Hello to all. Thankyou for your time and assistance in advance. I have a Monarch pump that is currently failing. I have aquired 2 more beautiful pumps as replacements. Here's my issue: I have no idea what model they are. The unit I currently use has plently of information on the web. The 2 I have as replacements don't. I can't find any info how to wire the selenoid. The new ones have the wires coming out of the end instead of out of the middle of the unit. I want to use it to replace my current monarch that has the center wires. On every unit I see, there are a few wires coming out of the bottom of the wire grommet that go to the selenoid just like the failing one I use now. I need to know how to hook up the selenoid. All the wires on my new one are the same color as the old one as well. Just not sure which ones to hook to the selenoid. Help please The good pumps look exactly the same as the m-683 except the wires protrude from the end of the unit and are missing the 3 selenoid wires that come out at the bottom of the grommit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dansuee.


World premiere: Two hybrid Allrounder 470 H machines set the stage for new machine technology at the first anniversary event celebrating "100 years of the Hehl family company". The machines in the Comfort and Premium performance variants are particularly energy-saving, resource- and production-efficient, user-friendly and reliable!
New machine technologyCompared to a hydraulic machine, the new Allrounder 470 H boasts an energy footprint that is up to 50% better and can save up to 12,000 kg of CO2 per year. The hybrid machine incorporates many technical innovations that are only available from Arburg. A new, patent-pending oil management concept, for example, reduces the oil requirement by around 35%. Flow rate splitting enables simultaneous movements of hydraulic auxiliary axes. The dry cycle time is also reduced by about one third. The Arburg servo-hydraulic system (ASH) permits particularly energy-efficient and low-emission operation.
The future is electricThe anniversary machine is particularly interesting for customers who are looking for an energy-saving alternative to hydraulic machines, for example, as the high-quality hydraulic injection unit reduces acquisition costs and is extremely robust. The clamping unit's electric drives reduce the energy requirement, which reduces operating costs and the carbon footprint.
Anniversary machine optionsVarious performance variants, injection units and options are available for the anniversary machine. Since February 2023, the Allrounder 470 H has been available in the Comfort and Premium performance variants. As with the electric Alldrive series, an Ultimate performance variant will follow later. The new concept will be gradually implemented for other Allrounders in the Hidrive series.
See for yourselfThe new machines can be seen in action at the Anniversary Days in Lossburg, Germany, from 8 to 11 March 2023 and at a host of Arburg events and trade fairs around the world.
The new Allrounder 470 H


2013 Cadillac SRX Gets Mixed Review from Consumer Reports [Video]
In 2012, GM updated the SRX and made some changes that might prove popular and some that may not.
Consumer Reports tested the updated model and found that the lack of visibility is the biggest problem. We tend to say this a lot about modern vehicles, but thick A pillars and over-designed rear pillars are big problems.
The one major thing CR found in favor of the 2013 model is the bigger 3.6-liter V6, which finally matches the luxury look of the car with decent performance. Just like on the other new Cadillacs on the market today, the CUE system is a bit of a problem.
You can’t blindly aim for a button and hope it’s there because everything is touch sensitive. Many carmakers have adopted this sort of technology inspired by smartphones, but we’re not sure if it really is the way of the future. Think about it this way: texting while walking is very hard on an iPhone, but totally doable with qwerty phones. It’s probably the same with infotainment systems and driving.

GINOWAN, Japan - The United States and Japan look set to avoid a collision over where to relocate a Marine base when President Barack Obama visits Tokyo next week, but the row could still fray security ties in the months ahead.
A dispute over a replacement facility for Futenma air base on Japan's southern island of Okinawa, a key part of a realignment of U.S. troops in Japan, has strained the alliance, seen as the core of regional security arrangements.
The row coincides with deepening questions about how China's rising military and economic clout will reshape security ties.
Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, who took office in September pledging to forge more equal ties with Washington, had said before his party's election victory that he wanted to move the base off Okinawa to ease the burden on residents there.
But U.S. officials say they want to push ahead with a 2006 deal to move it from the crowded city of Ginowan in central Okinawa to a remoter site by 2014 as a prerequisite to moving 8,000 Marines off the island to the U.S. territory of Guam.
Washington has notified Japan it will not press for a decision by Obama's November 12-13 visit, but wants a resolution to the dispute by the end of the year, the Nikkei newspaper said.
But Hatoyama repeated on Friday that he had no plan to decide by the time of Obama's trip -- or to say when he would make up his mind.
U.S.-Japan relations are not just about the Futenma issue, Hatoyama told a parliamentary panel.
There are many issues that President Obama is concerned about and issues that Japan is concerned about, so we would like to discuss each theme, he said. I am convinced it will be a meaningful trip.
Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada has also floated the end of the year as a de facto deadline, but Hatoyama has suggested he might wait until after an Okinawa mayoral election in January to get a reading on local public opinion.
Hatoyama faces a dilemma as he tries to live up to his campaign comments without disrupting ties with Tokyo's closest security ally as both countries try to adapt to China's growing clout.
Many residents of Okinawa, a subtropical island about 1,600 km (1,000 miles) south of Tokyo that hosts about half the 47,000 U.S. military personnel in Japan, have long resented what they see as an unfair burden for maintaining the security alliance.
A mass anti-base rally has been called for Sunday, just days before Obama arrives in the Japanese capital.
I want to get rid of it, said Toshio Arakaki, 52, whose three children go to a primary school a stone's throw from the base. If they are going to replace it, they should find somewhere not just outside Okinawa, but outside Japan. Okinawa has had enough.
Other Okinawa residents, though, worry about the economic impact of closing the bases, since the island is otherwise mainly reliant on an influx of tourists attracted by white sandy beaches, clear seas and a unique culture that owes much to China.
If Hatoyama decides before January to implement the original deal, perhaps with minor changes, that would almost certainly upset a small but vocal coalition partner ahead of an election for parliament's upper house in mid-2010.
Further delay would make deciding harder and risk angering Washington, although few analysts expect strains over security ties to affect trade and investment between the world's two biggest economies.
In Japan, it is always legitimate to say, 'Let's start the negotiations from scratch', but the Americans are not going to put up with that, said Steven Reed, a professor at Chuo University.
Okada has proposed considering an alternative plan to merge the Marine base with another U.S. base on Okinawa, but Washington has rejected the idea. Both Hatoyama and Japan's defense minister have expressed disagreement with it.

Feds Lead The XBRL Charge
Read the Original Article at InformationWeek
Federal regulators usually aren't at the forefront of technology adoption. But the folks in Washington who oversee banks and financial services providers are spearheading the adoption of XBRL, the Extensible Business Reporting Language, an emerging international standard for the electronic transmission of business and financial information. However, with their focus on using XBRL to file regulatory reports, financial services firms are missing many of the benefits that the standard is supposed to provide.
One of the biggest proponents of XBRL is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which last year implemented a system that requires banks to file quarterly reports, known as call reports, in XBRL. Around 8,200 U.S. banks use XBRL to submit their call reports, which include information on balance sheets and income statements.
"In the past, we accepted whatever data was sent to us and processed it on a mainframe system," says Martin Henning, associate director of the agency's statistics branch. FDIC analysts would double-check and validate the information in a two- to three-week manual process that required them to work with a bank via phone, e-mail, or fax.
To shift to the open standard, the FDIC deployed a hosted system from Unisys that bankers and agency staff access through a Web browser. At the core of the system is an XBRL engine supplied by UBmatrix that lets the FDIC exchange XBRL-tagged documents with banks. The agency gets more accurate data sooner than it used to and can validate it faster, Henning says.
The FDIC made it easy for banks to comply--perhaps too easy. It asked vendors that provide regulatory reporting software to the banks to create an interface that would allow them to submit call reports in XBRL. As a result, banks didn't have to make changes to their internal IT systems or incorporate the XBRL data standard into their own financial records.
"We're seeing fairly slow [internal] adoption of XBRL in the banking industry," says Doug Johnson, a senior policy analyst at the American Bankers Association.
Banks and other financial services firms could use XBRL to label and automate the content of financial documents. XBRL places a unique tag on, say, a company's net profit figure. The software then selects, sorts, stores, and exchanges tagged information with other companies or regulators, without having to manually re-enter numbers and copy them to spreadsheets. Accountants "can perform analysis of a company, of a sector, of a specific topic in a matter of seconds, instead of spending all their time finding the data, accessing it, and validating it," says Mike Willis, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers and founding chairman of XBRL International, the global consortium that's developing the standard.
Reluctant To Talk
In addition to the FDIC, other members of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, including the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, require banks to file quarterly call reports in XBRL. Federal banking agencies have built a shared data repository for XBRL-tagged call report data. Companies are reluctant to discuss their XBRL deployments; InformationWeek contacted eight of them, but none would talk.
The next step is to encourage public companies to file their quarterly financial reports in XBRL. The Securities and Exchange Commission began a program to do that last year, but it's "unofficial and voluntary, to give companies a chance to test this out," says Jeff Naumann, enabl- ing technology specialist at the SEC's office of the chief accountant. Only nine companies participated last year, and 20 more plan to join the program this year. The SEC may mandate the use of XBRL, but it hasn't set a deadline, he says.
XBRL can make life easier for regulated businesses. Banks, for example, use XBRL for their FDIC filings and can use it for their SEC financial statements. "Historically, these have been two separate filing processes, and different systems and data formats were used to create the filings," Naumann says. "If regulators use the XBRL standard, it will be more efficient for companies to comply with requirements from multiple regulators."
More tools are becoming available to help companies deploy and use XBRL, Gartner analyst Mary Knox says. Edgar Online last year rolled out its I-Metrix software, which lets companies access XBRL-tagged SEC filing data online within hours of its being filed with the commission. Companies can import the data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, verify information with the SEC by clicking on tagged elements within the document, and analyze business performance by comparing the current data with past filings or filings from other companies.
Text-mining tools for XBRL also are available from a variety of vendors. UBmatrix plans to launch an online platform next month for designing and publishing XBRL taxonomies, the dictionaries XBRL uses.
The push from regulators and vendors will help increase adoption of XBRL. But too many companies are taking a wait-and-see approach and missing out on the benefits that XBRL offers.

Market report - Monday close
Shares in London and across Europe fell heavily today although the predicted meltdown failed to materialise as shares in the US mounted a strong recovery.
After Friday's huge falls, the Dow Jones and tech stock-rich Nasdaq indices both rallied as investors in New York went bargain hunting. The Dow was up 94.78 points to stand at 10400.55 while the Nasdaq rallied 114.76 to 3435.76 in early trading.
London dealers said the falls had prompted little buying or selling here but insisted the downturn would benefit the market by separating the 'wheat from the chaff'.
Analysts believe today's shakeout should prompt investors to be a little more discerning in their stock selection - especially when picking technology stocks. At the close the FTSE 100 index of leading shares was down 183.5 points at 5994.6.
For once technology stocks were not responsible for the biggest falls in the Footsie and, despite earlier declines, rallied strongly later in the day. The biggest riser in the blue chip index was software company Baltimore Technologies, which rallied 486p to close at £58.30.
It was joined by several other tech stocks on the leader board. Hand-held computer manufacturer Psion also climbed. Its shares closed up 172p at £28.02. Other technology stocks did not perform quite so well and internet booking service lastminute.com fell another 5 1/2p on the day to close at 152p, having scraped below 140p at one stage this morning. The shares are now 228p below their issues price of 380p.
Online auctioneer QXL.com lost 51p to stand at 237p and Easynet Group fell 265p to close at 890p. Banks were also hit on fears of future interest rate hikes on either side of the Atlantic following high inflation figures from the US last Friday. Bank of Scotland fell 34 1/2p to 599p, Royal Bank of Scotland was 16p lighter at 925 1/2p, Abbey National was 12p down at 738 1/2p and Halifax was off 29 1/2p at 586 1/2p.
Many other 'old-economy' shares were caught up in the sell-off. Railtrack dived 63p to 782p, utilities group Centrica fell 11 1/2p at 218 1/4p and South African Breweries was 33 1/2p lower at 414 3/4p.
The telecoms sector was mixed with Kingston Communications managing to stage a late rally to close up 1p at 687p despite earlier falls. However, Colt Telecom failed to match its rival's rally and closed sharply lower at £25.72 - down 188p on the day.
Elsewhere retail stocks were hard hit and Marks & Spencer fell 3 1/4 p to 252 1/2p, Dixons lost 31 1/4p to close at 244p and Kingfisher dropped 39 1/4p to 521p.

Another day, another middle finger to the American taxpayer and American soldier from the Bush Administration and friends at Kellogg Brown & Root.
The New York Times has an article up detailing how back in the early stages of the Iraq War, the Army's own auditor found lack of support for $ 1 billion in fees and charges sought by KBR for their "services," and that the senior civilian overseeing the KBR contract was "reassigned" for demanding KBR provide information:
The official, Charles M. Smith, was the senior civilian overseeing the multibillion-dollar contract with KBR during the first two years of the war. Speaking out for the first time, Mr. Smith said that he was forced from his job in 2004 after informing KBR officials that the Army would impose escalating financial penalties if they failed to improve their chaotic Iraqi operations.
Army auditors had determined that KBR lacked credible data or records for more than $1 billion in spending, so Mr. Smith refused to sign off on the payments to the company. "They had a gigantic amount of costs they couldn’t justify," he said in an interview. "Ultimately, the money that was going to KBR was money being taken away from the troops, and I wasn’t going to do that."
According to the NYT, the official, Charles M. Smith, now speaking out several years after the fact, says he was reassigned because of, you know, actually doing his job:
Army officials denied that Mr. Smith had been removed because of the dispute, but confirmed that they had reversed his decision, arguing that blocking the payments to KBR would have eroded basic services to troops. They said that KBR had warned that if it was not paid, it would reduce payments to subcontractors, which in turn would cut back on services.
So, to put it in simple terms, KBR basically told the Army,
"Hey, We're KBR, Cheney's boys, and you best forget your pesky little audits, procedures and whatever you call this accountability thing -- or the troops will suffer."
But don't trust me, listen to Mr. Smith himself:
"[KBR] had a gigantic amount of costs they couldn’t justify," he said in an interview. "Ultimately, the money that was going to KBR was money being taken away from the troops, and I wasn’t going to do that."
Well, Mr. Smith, just because you're not going to do that doesn't mean someone else won't be too proud to pick up the slack, especially for a fee:
Soon after Mr. Smith was replaced, the Army hired a contractor, RCI Holding Corporation, to review KBR’s costs. "They came up with estimates, using very weak data from KBR," Mr. Smith said. "They ignored D.C.A.A.’s auditors," he said, referring to the Defense Contract Audit Agency.
Is there any fragment of the Pentagon's oversight mechanisms of major contractors (esp. those particularly friendly to the administration) in Iraq that hasn't been privatized? I wrote a diary a couple of weeks ago on another article from the NYT that suggested the Pentagon had no effective oversight over the contracting process generally.
But here, KBR's tentacles reach so high up into and throughout the Pentagon that they can literally dictate to the Pentagon to hire a different auditor to scrub their account. This scrubbing helps not just for present indelicacies, but helps to maintain the right to get yet MORE contracts:
High grades on its work in Iraq also allowed KBR to win more work from the Pentagon, and this spring, KBR was awarded a share in [a] new 10-year [$ 150 billion] contract [and other juicy performance bonuses]. The Army also announced that Serco, RCI’s parent [the new, improved auditor for you kids at home], will help oversee the Army’s new contract with KBR.
Course, why should it be a surprise that our friends in the Pentagon have now actually gone and privatized the [KBR part] of the auditing apparatus of our privatized for-profit war machine? From commondreams.org:
As Secretary of Defense under Bush I, Cheney paid Brown and Root services (now Kellogg Brown and Root) $3.9 million to report on how private companies could help the U.S. Army as Cheney cut hundreds of thousands of Army jobs.
(And though most Kossacks know this story all too well, for some more general background on KBR's shenanigans in Iraq, see a Frontline documentary from a few years ago called "Private Warriors.")
At least there's now one less day until Jan. 20, 2009. It cannot come soon enough.

Indrahar Pass is a mountain pass in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. Located at an altitude of 4342 metres/14,245 ft above the sea level, near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Indrahar pass forms the border between Kangra and Chamba districts. The trek starts from Mcleodganj.
The trail passes through the famous Triund, Ilaqa Pass and Lahesh Caves. The ridges over the Dhauladhar do not lend themselves to easy trekking. Trek to the Indrahar pass is no exception, even though it follows one of the more established trails used by the Gaddi shepherds en route to their summer grazing pastures in the upper Ravi Valley. The ascent to the Indrahar Pass involves a continual climb often over boulders which needs a good fitness level even though it is an easy trek ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers alike.
Day 1: Mcleodganj (5,865 ft) to Triund (9,750 ft).
Today we start the trek from McLeodganj to Triund covering a total distance of 9 km. There is a trail from both the villages situated next to Mcleodganj ex Dharamkot and Bhagsunag, but the trail from Dharamkot side is more beautiful and defined and it starts from Galu Devi Temple. The trail is rocky in most of its part. The last 1 kilometer is a steep ascent through the forest taking you to Triund which is a flat meadow on top of a ridge.
From here a panoramic view of Dhauladhar range on one side and Kangra valley on other is a memorable sight. We will stay here for the night. Have dinner and retire for the night. Overnight stay.
On this day, wake up early in the morning as the view from Triund is magnificent at this time. Take a deep breath and absorb the view of mighty Dhauladhar ranges shining through the mesmerizing sunrise. After breakfast, start your trek to Laka Got which will take around 4 to 5 hours to reach. The first milestone in today’s trek is Snowline Cafe, which is around 2 km from Triund and then comes Laka Got. From here, traverse a ridge to reach Laka Got. Laka Got is situated at the snout of a small glacier, which is full of snow and ice in early summer, and the snow melts away during the monsoon. This is our campsite for the night. Have dinner and retire early since tomorrow you will cross the Indrahar Pass. Overnight stay in tents.
Today we cross the mighty Indrahar Pass. Make sure you begin your trek early in the morning. The distance is the longest today and it is also the most difficult part of the entire trek. So be mentally prepared. The total distance for this day trek is around 12 km and it takes around 6 hours to reach the top, i.e., Indrahar Pass and another 4 hours to come down to Ilaqa Pass. The route from Ilaqa Pass to Indrahar Pass is steep and is completely uphill. The difficulty level varies from moderate to strenuous. There is no vegetation here and the terrain is mostly rocky. The trail leading towards Indrahar Pass from Lahesh Caves is a bit confusing as well. However, with an experienced guide, there will not be any problem. After reaching Indrahar Pass, spend some time there and experience a majestic view of higher ranges and valleys. Make sure you start descending soon enough in order to reach back by afternoon. Do an overnight stay at Laka Got.
On the last day of the trek to Indrahar Pass, you will be following the trails you trekked on the first and second day. A gradual trek of around 6 hours will finally take you back to McLeod Ganj. With your arrival in McLeod Ganj, this amazing trek will come to an end.

This scoping review search identified a total of 98 studies from the PubMed and 159 studies from the Embase. After duplication elimination and abstract and title screening, studies were considered potentially relevant and selected for full-article review. Among these, 28 peer-reviewed studies involving at least one unique ML model across a broad list of patient populations and settings were included in this review (Fig. 1).
Data source and sample size
The majority of these studies (N= 14) were conducted using data from the US setting [26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39]. Among these US studies, most of them used administrative claims datasets [26, 27, 30, 31, 36, 39] (N = 6), including SEER-Medicare, Veteran health administrative claims, followed by electronic health records or electronic medical records [32,33,34, 37, 38] (N = 5), and a few used patient registry cohort datasets [28, 29, 35] (N = 3). The remaining non-US studies used datasets from Europe [40,41,42,43,44,45] (N = 6), including Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, or Germany, and a few others used data from England (N = 3), China (N = 4), or India (N = 1). The median sample size was 10,614 (range: 142- 247,960 patients).
Study population and time-to-event outcomes
Most of these studies involving ML-based prediction for survival analyses focused on cancer patients [26, 27, 30, 31, 34, 36, 38, 39, 42, 43, 46, 47] (N = 12 studies); for ML studies in oncology, these models were used to predict their survival outcomes or cancer recurrence.
The remaining studies focused on patient populations in the cardiology [28, 35, 48, 49], COVID-19 [37, 50, 51], diabetes [29, 40, 41, 45], schizophrenia disorder patients , HBV infection , inpatients patients , those undergoing heart transplantation , or intensive care unit (ICU) patients . Across these non-cancer disease areas, these ML studies predicted clinical outcomes, such as the development of cardiovascular events [29, 40, 41, 45], the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest or venous thromboembolism or ventricular fibrillation, and death. Only one study used ML for treatment outcomes . A detailed summary of included studies is provided in e-supporting Table 1.
Characteristics of ML Models
Use of ML for survival outcomes
The types of ML algorithms used are reported in Table 1. From this review, the popular ML algorithms for survival analyses include random survival forests (N = 16) [26,27,28, 31,32,33,34, 36, 42, 43, 45,46,47,48,49, 53], boosted tree methods [31, 34, 42, 43, 45, 51, 53], and artificial neural networks [30, 31, 37, 39,40,41, 43, 44, 46, 47, 49, 50]. Support vector methods [34, 35, 42, 53] and regularization (LASSO, ridge, elastic net) [43, 49, 52, 53] were also common, and other algorithms included naïve bayes [29, 35, 53], K-nearest neighbor , multi-layer perceptron . Table 2 provides a description of these ML algorithms.
ML model performance
Across these studies, while three studies [28, 33, 45] failed to report model performance in AUC, others reported AUC for model evaluation. Among those studies reporting AUC for evaluation of model performance, there was a variation across the AUCs reported, with their mean at 0.7852 and their median at 0.789 (IQR: 0.73–0.847; range: 0.6–0.9503). While one study developed one ML model  with an AUC below 0.7, most of these studies developed at least one ML model with an AUC above 0.70. The boxplot and beeswarm plot of model performance based on the AUC, stratified by the type of ML algorithms, are shown in Fig. 2. The descriptive findings of the AUC across these ML models are shown in Table 3.
Among all included studies, twenty-five studies (89%) applied model validation. Table 4 details model validation methods among these included studies. Nineteen studies used internal validation, with fifteen studies randomly split datasets into a training set and a test set for validation of model performance [26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 36, 38,39,40,41, 44, 46, 49, 50, 53], while four studies internally validated model performance using cross-validation methods [35, 42, 48, 52]. Six studies applied external validation methods, including using an independent dataset for model performance validation [30, 34, 37, 43, 47], or used prospective validation . Still, three studies did not report any validation methods [28, 33, 45].
Comparison between model performance of ML vs. CPH
A total of 17 studies (61%) compared the performance of ML models with the traditional regression-based CPH. Most studies (N= 15 studies, 88%) reported that ML had better performance than CPH models [26, 30,31,32, 34, 36, 38,39,40,41,42,43, 48,49,50]. Only one study reported that ML algorithms did not surpass the CPH model , and one study did not make a comparison, although it included CPH . Details can be found in e-supporting Table 1.
Among the included studies, a majority had high quality based on the appraisal of six domains of the QUIPS tool. Details of quality assessment for all included studies are summarized in e-supporting doc Table 3.

Recently obtained court documents surrounding the custody battle between exes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie reveal Pitt is unhappy with his ex-wife's approach to protecting their children's privacy.
Pitt filed a memorandum to his request to have divorce documents pertaining to custody sealed on December 21, outlining specific reasons why information about their ongoing custody battle over their six children should remain private.
The documents went on to claim the 41-year-old actress - who filed for divorce from Brad in September after he allegedly had a row with Maddox on a private jet - "exposed the children by making public the names of their therapists and other mental health professionals". In court papers, Pitt's legal counselors battle Jolie and her lawyers claiming that they are taking a chance with the kids' security while attempting to make him look very bad in their filings.
He asserts that Jolie has "no self-regulating mechanism" to prevent sensitive information from being released to the public. As evidence, he points to the re-release and filing of documents that contain private information. "Although she had already made them public, she did it again".
Jolie's team now has the opportunity to respond to the request before a judge makes a decision.
The filing comes a few weeks after Brad - who now only has supervised visits to the children - had a request for an emergency hearing to have all documents sealed turned down.

PITTSBURGH – West Virginia dug itself a big first half hole it couldn’t climb out of and lost 77-54 to seventh-seeded Gonzaga in an NCAA tournament second round game in Pittsburgh Thursday night.
Robert Sacre and Gary Bell Jr. led four double-figure scorers with 14 points each, while Kevin Pangos had 13 and Elias Harris added 10 for the Bulldogs, who shot 56 percent from the floor for the game.
“That was just a great opening game for us,” said Gonzaga coach Mark Few. “I’m so proud of our players. We executed our offensive game plan, our defensive game plan and now it’s time to move on.”
“I just felt like they out-toughed us today,” added West Virginia senior guard Truck Bryant. “We let them get going and by the time we could stop them it was too late.”
The thousands of Mountaineer fans who made the short trip up to Pittsburgh had little to cheer about. West Virginia (19-14) fell behind by 20 during an eight-minute stretch in the first half that saw the Bulldogs outscore West Virginia 18-4 from 11:35 to 3:19. WVU missed six consecutive shots before Kevin Jones converted a layup with 6:22 left to end an 11-0 Bulldogs run. But then Gary Bell Jr. answered with a jumper, followed by a Pangos 3 and a Robert Sacre put-back basket to make it 34-14.
After Deniz Kilicli hit a short jumper to begin the second half for the Mountaineers, Gonzaga continued to score from virtually anywhere it wanted on the floor.
“There are 30-some tapes on us so you figure that they’re going to double K.J. You can’t play two on five and that’s pretty much what we did,” said a dejected West Virginia coach Bob Huggins, who sat at the dais during his post-game press conference with his hand on his face while his seniors answered questions.
Three plays really summed up the evening for the Mountaineers. The first came early in the second half when Bryant tried to score against four Gonzaga players, lost the ball, and it ended up in a breakaway dunk by Guy Landry Edi. A couple minutes later, Elias Harris banked in a 3 from the top of the key to give the Bulldogs a 26-point lead.
Then, with six minutes to play, Sam Dower missed a layup with the shot clock winding down. Mike Hart was able to come up with the loose ball and dribbled back behind the 3-point line to knock down a fall-away 3 before the shot clock expired.
West Virginia shot 36.7 percent from the floor, including 3 of 17 from 3-point distance. Gonzaga (26-6) had its biggest lead at 26 points with 13 minutes remaining in the game.
“They ran good offense,” said Huggins. “Mark said that’s the best they’ve shot the ball all year. We tried to do a good job scouting. You can’t let guys who want to drive right, drive right. You have to make them uncomfortable. Everybody has tendencies and you have to try and take them away.”
It was the second worst loss in NCAA tournament play by a Bob Huggins coached team. When Huggins was at Cincinnati his Bearcats lost by 24 to Illinois in 2004. It was also West Virginia’s worst loss in the tournament since 1984 when Maryland beat the Mountaineers by 25 in a second round game in Birmingham, Ala.
“I’ve never been beat like that,” said Huggins.
The loss ended West Virginia’s season with 19 victories, snapping a streak of eight straight campaigns with at least 20 wins. It was also the fewest wins a Bob Huggins coached team has had since 2003 when his Cincinnati team won 17 games.
“This is the worst defensive team I’ve had in 30 years,” said Huggins. “We don’t get to help and we don’t get loose balls.”
The one bright spot for the Mountaineers was the play of freshman Gary Browne, who scored a season-high 15 points, going 10 of 11 from the line. Jones ended his fabulous career with 13 points and four rebounds.
“I’d say that was one of the best jobs a team has done surrounding me with team defense,” said Jones.
“Our key was to keep him off the offensive glass,” said Sacre.
Jones finished with 1,822 points, good for fifth all time in school history, and 1,048 rebounds to end fourth in school annals.
“I think most importantly, Kevin Jones is as good a person as I’ve ever been around in my life,” said Huggins. “He’s made such great strides as a player because he works and he listens to what he needs to do. He cares. I think that’s the biggest thing.”
Kilicli contributed 10 points.
Gonzaga will play the winner of Ohio State-Loyola on Saturday.

Sweet potato pie on a ginger snap crust, smothered in caramel sauce, and topped with a sweet fluffy meringue.
*Sign up via EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION to receive each new tasty recipe right in your inbox!*
We have made a habit of trying new restaurants around the Richmond area. Each free weekend we have we meet some friends of ours at a restaurant that none of us have tried. One of our restaurant adventures landed us in a quaint little German place with gourmet style German food. This place was classy, I tell ya.
Of course I had to order dessert at such a ritzy place. I got the sweet potato Pot de Crème with meringue and a ginger snap on the side. It was the best dessert I had in a long time and I just had to recreate it.
I turned this pot de crème into a pie. A delicious sweet potato pie, layered over a bed of ginger snap crumbs, and topped with caramel sauce and meringue. It’s actually pretty easy to make. And even easier than that to eat.
While this pie is not made like the traditional sweet potato pie, it’s honestly not that difficult to prepare. Everything is made from scratch except for the ginger snaps. Homemade desserts taste so much better than any store bought goodies full of chemicals. While I do love the convenience of premixed ingredients, I choose not to use them that often.
This pie starts with a simple two ingredient ginger snap crust – 2 cups of ginger snap crumbs and 1/3 cup of melted butter. This crust is nothing short of fool proof.


I think I'd feel pretty lucky to just live to be 70... If I could spend 70 years with my honey, that would be a good life!
This couple met when they were 15 years old. For their 70th wedding anniversary, their granddaughter made a sweet video of them reminiscing about their time together and the secret to their marriage.
What's even more amazing is that this video is actually 5 years old, and the couple has been married for 75 years now! Scroll down to see the full-length original video, and a 5 year update from them made this year!
This is the original video that was made for their 70th wedding anniversary:
....5 years later, they are still sooo in love!

by Crossgen Meet Lady Sin: a Spanish Donessa who searches the seven seas on a quest for vengeance. It's 1687, and pirate captain Blackjack Tom sets siege on a Spanish galleon. All the brave Spaniards are killed - save for one: the beautiful, aristocratic Donessa, who vows to take revenge. She seizes control of one of Blackjack Tom's ships; is rechristened "Lady Sin," the most bloodthirsty - and comeliest - lady pirate on the high seas; and sets sail to find her kidnapped mother and brother.
This graphic novel, exquisitely drawn and colored by Steve Epting and Frank D'Aramta, brings the violent and swashbuckling era to vivid life. Chuck Dixon's dark and action-paced story has a moral depth that may take novice graphic-novel readers by surprise. As Comic Book News said: "Forget those peg-leg walk-the-plank melodramas--Dixon and Epting are going for reality here with a pirate saga that captures the gritty truth of nautical adventures."

In Memoriam: Claudio Abbado
Music lovers in America woke up Monday morning to the news that the great Italian conductor Claudio Abbado had passed during the night. The beloved maestro died in his home in Bologna at the age of eighty. Soon after the news broke, the Berlin Philharmonic, of which he was the principle conductor for thirteen years, posted its own reaction to the news, saying, “We mourn the passing of an extraordinary musician and human being.”
Abbado’s stint with the Berlin Philharmonic began in 1989, when the orchestra chose him to succeed to the podium after Herbert von Karajan. Abbado brought a youthful vigor to the Philharmonic, instituting themed concert cycles and putting a spotlight on contemporary works.
The maestro’s work was by no means limited to Berlin. He also served as musical director for both the Vienna State Opera and La Scala, and here in the States he was a principle guest conductor for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He also founded two youth orchestras in Europe, and worked to foster the musical growth and education of young people throughout his career.
Abbado is perhaps best known for his personality and approach to the music. He was meticulous, and he did a great deal of research and score study. He was known for conducting from memory, and he has one of the most expansive discographies of any conductor of classical music. His manner and dedication made him one of the most respected conductors of our time. You can see a bit of one of his rehearsals and hear what some of the orchestra members had to say about him in this video:
Due to illness, Abbado stepped down from his post at the Berlin Philharmonic in 2002, and he was succeeded by Sir Simon Rattle. Though his shoes in Berlin have been filled, the music world will be hard-pressed to find another individual who will work as tirelessly in support of contemporary music and the musical education of young people.
You can see part of a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony led by Abbado here:

Tesla shines at the IAA Auto Show in Munich, Germany. The company introduced Model 3, Optimus, Powerwall, and the V4 Supercharger, promoting a sustainable future.
IAA Mobility Auto Show has been started
The IAA Mobility Auto Show in Munich, Germany started on Tuesday. The show is in a state of flux and new offers are expanding the mobility mix in the city and the countryside. New mobility carriers, technologies, and start-ups are appearing on the scene. In addition, well-known brands, including Tesla, are represented here. You can experience these trends at IAA Mobility from September 5 to 10, 2023. Tesla Mag remains at the forefront and has also joined the Auto Show for a first-hand experience.
“This amazing place blends history and automotive passion in one location,” highlighted Armand Taïeb, founder and CEO of Tesla Mag, who attended the event.

Tesla shines at IAA Mobility Auto Show
Texas-based manufacturer had a relatively small booth where it posted the achievements of its work. As observation has shown, size is completely unimportant when it comes to filling quality.
“With a much smaller booth, Tesla managed to grab all the attention. This shows that quality and innovation often speak louder than size,” said Armand. In addition to him, many electric vehicle enthusiasts who attended the Auto Show noted that the Tesla booth was indeed very popular with the public. The Ford booth next door is about four times the size but failed to draw the attention that the Texas manufacturer did.
Tesla demonstrates its achievements
The company brought the updated Model 3 to the IAA. The cars became a real magnet for visitors who want to see the novelty up close. They studied them, opened and closed the doors, hoods and trunks, sat inside and asked a lot of questions to get as much information as possible.

briefly: Back in January, TechSpot speculated why Intel’s GPU drivers are about twice the dimensions of AMD’s and Nvidia’s, probably because of much less time spent optimizing. Whatever the explanation, the blue crew’s latest driver is skinny and solely barely greater than the pink crew’s. The largest downloads got here once more from Nvidia, which has grown barely just lately.
Intel’s newest graphics driver reduces its obtain dimension from 1.6GB to 604MB. Optimizations deliver the GPU novice’s software program nearer to its opponents with out compromising performance or efficiency.
The firm attributes this achievement to improved compression, suggesting that the earlier bloat was largely because of a scarcity of expertise packaging devoted graphics drivers. Intel seems to be rapidly adapting to a market dominated by two opponents, which it has been doing for about 20 years.
The sheer dimension of Team Blue’s early drivers did not add up as a result of they needed to help a a lot smaller variety of GPU fashions. Intel solely has one technology in the marketplace, whereas drivers for Nvidia and AMD need to help a number of generations every. Also, Nvidia likes to package deal its GeForce Experience software program (which some may contemplate bloatware) with its drivers. Intel’s inclusion of built-in graphics drivers additionally does not account for this distinction, since AMD drivers additionally help iGPUs and APUs.
All three corporations launched new drivers this week in preparation for the just-released Resident Evil 4 remake. Nvidia and AMD additionally highlighted The Last of Us Part 1 and Diablo IV betas of their launch notes, whereas Intel launched its Diablo IV driver final week. The free public beta for Diablo IV will run by way of this weekend, and The Last of Us Part 1 is coming to PC subsequent Tuesday.
Intel additionally notes that it’s nonetheless bettering CS:GO efficiency on Arc GPUs. Steam’s hottest video games nonetheless use DirectX 9, one thing Arc has been battling till its current replace. It’s unclear how the modifications within the Counter-Strike 2 replace will have an effect on Arc, however different video games that use the Source 2 engine upgraded to DirectX 11.
Meanwhile, Nvidia’s new driver (which ballooned to almost 900MB) additionally helps Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming experimental ray tracing “Overdrive” mode. The further graphics preset introduces path tracing to the sport and can possible hit the GPU onerous when April eleventh rolls round.

If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
That’s the question these high school students in Kentucky asked us last year. They really got us thinking—and they inspired the theme of this year’s Annual Letter. We chose to write about two superpowers that would improve the lives of the world’s poorest families: time and energy.
Every time you flip a light switch, turn up your thermostat, or power up a computer, you’re using a superpower: your access to energy. But about 1.3 billion people live without it. You can see this fact for yourself in this image of the world at night.
If Bill could have just one wish to help the poorest people, it would be to find a cheap, clean source of energy to power our world. Cheap, because everyone must be able to afford it. Clean, because it must not emit any carbon dioxide—which is driving climate change.
A couple of years ago, Melinda and our daughter Jennifer visited Tanzania and stayed with Anna, Sanare, and their children. It was an eye-opening experience. Poverty, Melinda learned, is not just about a lack of money. It’s about the absence of other resources, like time and energy, the poor need to realize their potential.
In every country in the world, women do more unpaid work than men. The gap is especially big in poor countries, where women like this Nigerian farmer often spend hours a day collecting firewood, fetching water, and doing other chores.
More time. More energy. As superpowers go, they may not be as exciting as Superman’s ability to defy gravity. But if the world can put more of both into the hands of the poorest, we believe it will allow millions of dreams to take flight.

NEW TANKER ROLLS INTO MALSMBURY FIRE BRIGADE
A new medium tanker is helping Malmsbury Fire Brigade keep the local community safe, thanks to the Andrews Labor Government.
Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas officially handed over the 2750-litre tanker on Sunday and congratulated the volunteer brigade for their dedicated service to the community.
The vehicle is a welcome boost to the brigade’s firefighting capacity, both locally and as part of strike teams deployed across the state. The new vehicle also provides the volunteer firefighters greater safety when attacking fires.
It can carry a crew of five firefighters, as well as the equipment needed to respond to fires and other emergencies.
The Labor Government provided $375,000 in the 2017-18 budget for the new tanker and two new sets of breathing apparatus for the brigade.
These breathing apparatuses give fire fighters greater capacity to combat fires in structures and areas of heavy and toxic smoke, providing them with a clean supply of oxygen.
Malmsbury Fire Brigade was founded in 1929, and currently has 31 members, with almost one-third of them under 30 years of age.
The brigade is the busiest Class 3 brigade in the state, attending on average over 150 fires and incidents every year.
It has sent strike teams to some of the biggest emergencies in the state’s history, including the Ash Wednesday bushfires in 1983 and the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.
Quotes attributable to Member for Macedon, Mary-Anne Thomas:
“I congratulate the Malmsbury Fire Brigade on its continued ability to serve not just our community but those that call on them in their time of need anywhere across the state.”
“As the busiest Class 3 brigade in the state, Malmsbury’s volunteer firefighters do a wonderful job protecting the local community, and this new tanker is an excellent addition to its capabilities.”
“This is another example of how the Andrews Labor Government is supporting our CFA volunteers with the equipment needed to keep Victorians safe.”
