Following a fractured finger in preseason, Jazz rookie Trey Burke missed the first three weeks of his rookie NBA season. But he returned to play 12 minutes tonight with the finger taped to another finger, and his teammates clowned him during his inaugural game as they ran to take the court.
Watch vet Richard Jefferson hold back his Jazz teammates as Burke takes the court alone. Once he realizes there’s no one with him, he turns around to discover his teammates cackling in delight.
Burke did score his first bucket with a little under four minutes remaining in the opening quarter. He slashed to the bucket and split two converging defenders at the rim.
It wouldn’t be his last bucket, either. He scored 11, going 5-of-8 from the field and knocking down a three-pointer in 12 minutes of action. But Burke wouldn’t have such an easy path to the basket later in the half.
Trey got to see teammate Alec Burks get swatted by Pellies power forward, Anthony Davis. It wasa nice reminder that Burke’s no longer facing Big Ten competition.
The Pelicans got the win over the visiting Jazz, 108-95, and we doubt Trey Burke will forget his first night in a real NBA game.
What do you think of Burke’s welcome to the NBA moment?

LONDON, May 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Dozens of young people from around the world swapped life on the streets for the grandeur of Lord’s cricket ground on Tuesday as they took part in a tournament to raise awareness and change perceptions of street children.
Up to 150 million young people are forced to live or work on the streets, according to United Nations estimates, exposing them to abuse and trafficking.
Organisers of the first Street Child Cricket World Cup at the famed London ground said they wanted to alter perceptions and demand change from authorities, who often turn a blind eye.
“These children are often invisible, they are shunned,” said John Wroe, the co-founder of the Street Child United group, which organised the event.
“If you change the way street children are seen, we can begin to change the way that street children are treated…We are about creating a global platform, using sport, for their voices to be heard,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
“We demand a platform for our voice. Will you listen?”
— Street Child United (@iStreetChild) May 10, 2019
The tournament brought together children who previously lived or worked on the streets in seven countries: Bangladesh, India, Mauritius, Tanzania, Nepal, West Indies, and England.
Some were victims of trafficking after they were sold into servitude by their own families as a result of poverty.
Children in the tournament were cheered on by crowds of spectators as they played in bright sunshine on the final day of the tournament on Tuesday.
Members of the South Indian team leapt for joy and ran onto the pitch to high five and celebrate as they were announced the winners after triumphing over England in the final.
After the final, teams described their experiences and urged leaders to act.

“We are not asking for much — just to protect us,” said one statement from the West Indies team.
Key demands included the right to identity papers registering their existence, equal access to education, and protection from violence.
“We want to go to school, not to work,” said Daren Dubois, age 15, from the Mauritius team.
“We are discriminated against because we are poor,” Dubois continued. “We cannot get identity papers like a passport. Often we have to work from a young age, for example selling fish at seven years or younger. Sometimes we are very hungry.”
Wroe said pressure from previous street child sports events had brought real results.
Meanwhile, for those taking part, the tournament offered a chance to leave the challenges of the past behind and look forward to bringing glory for their country.

Jasmin Akter, 18, a former Rohingya child refugee on the England team, said she was “really proud” to be playing on the same ground as her sporting heroes, such as England player Ben Stokes.
“We have seen them on TV playing on this pitch, and now me standing on this pitch is a privilege I want to capture for the rest of my life,” she said.

They may be 40 kilometres west of Sydney’s CBD but the once semi-rural suburbs of Leppington and Austral are some of the last areas buyers can find acreage in the harbour city.
Families, investors and businesses are vying for these larger land parcels in Sydney’s south-west, given they’ve become rare as hen’s teeth.
They have been quietly purchased since Sydney’s airport at Badgerys Creek was confirmed and the state government rezoned the region as a strategic centre known as the “South West Growth Area”.
While large parts of the region are now demarcated for commercial and residential use, there are still a handful of rural acreages coming to market that attract hot competition.
LJ Hooker Leppington’s Anthony Bucca said they are rare to come to market because they have been held in the same families for decades in some cases.
“People who have been living here have all of a sudden gone from acreage to semi-residential, and they’re reluctant to let their properties go because they’re so close to amenities… why would you need to move?” Bucca said.
He sold an acreage in Leppington on the weekend for $2.5 million to a family who plan to live there but also hope to cash in on their investment – something many buyers are hoping for.
“So people get the acreage lifestyle but somewhere down the track will get a return on their investment,” Bucca said. “The areas that haven’t been rezoned will be part of that precinct. Once they are rezoned their value will increase five times.”
Leppington and Austral were among the top 10 highest value growth suburbs in the 12 months to May, growing more than 25 per cent each to $1,161,343 and $945,013, respectively, according to CoreLogic’s latest Home Value Index.
Prior to the pandemic, these suburbs were the last bastions of affordability, as developers shored up land to subdivide and release as house and land packages, according to Eric Zeng of Rewards Group.
“Before the pandemic the price in Leppington was quite affordable. Land plus building two years ago was roughly between $750,000 to $850,000,” Zeng said.
But once the pandemic hit and the HomeBuilder scheme was rolled out, Zeng said buyers were hard-pressed to find anything under $950,000 due to sheer demand for homes in the area.
He said while most of the large land holdings in the two suburbs have been acquired by developers, the select few that do come to market attract a range of buyers.
“Most of these big farmlands were owned by owners for generations before all these big infrastructure plans were released. If they want to sell, they want a good price for it, and it’s very, very competitive.”
LJ Hooker Camden and Bringelly’s George Bobb said the area has only picked up in demand because of the changes to zoning since the airport was confirmed.
“If there were no upgrades or changes in the community, there would be no demand. We know now that the airport is a catalyst for everything. Properties surrounding the airport up to 10 kilometres are all going up in demand,” Bobb said.
He said he has seen commercial groups, companies, individual investors including local doctors, and families make speculative purchases over the years.
“They see it as a once-in-a-lifetime event … there is huge demand. As soon as they come up they’ve got to be basically ready to go,” Bobb said.
He said families and a consortium of investors were buying acreages that were priced up to $6 million, but once it goes higher “then you’re talking to different people”.
“The bottom line is: the market is changing quite a bit, but this won’t affect the acreage market. It’s a different beast. Unless the airport stopped going ahead, that would stop the acreage demand.”

Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton has one more year of team control remaining on his current contract, and the Orioles wouldn't be lacking for potential trade partners if they made the two-time All-Star available.
The Orioles have a number of reasons why they should consider trading Britton, with his contract one of the biggest.
Kenley Jansen re-signed with the Dodgers for $80 million over five years last offseason, while Aroldis Chapman got a five-year, $86 million deal from the New York Yankees, which is the richest contract for a closer.
If Baltimore is going to be serious about re-signing Manny Machado, who will become a free agent in 2019 as well, tying up millions in an extension for Britton may not be the best use of its resources.
There's also the question of whether Britton will be more of a luxury than an asset for the Orioles in 2018. If Baltimore slips out of playoff contention again, it will have little need for an elite closer. Trading Britton could help the Orioles get a top prospect or two to help rebuild.
The fact the Dodgers and Cubs are interested in the left-hander is not surprising. The past two National League champions will again have World Series aspirations in 2018.
Heyman reported in July that Los Angeles was pursuing Britton, and the lefty would provide plenty of help for Jansen, who was overworked in the postseason. Chicago, meanwhile, may need to replace Wade Davis, who's the best closer on the free agent market this offseason.

Cape Town, South Africa: It was stunning. I turned a corner and there it was: a temporary plywood fence at a downtown construction site turned into a joyful work of art. Brilliant blues, dazzling yellows, bright reds and greens. Upon closer inspection, the realization came that someone had found the time, energy, and motivation to paint this glorious picture, using only handprints—and hadn’t even bothered to sign it. This was a wonderful example of creating art simply for the sheer joy of doing—and sharing with the world. Photo © 2009 Patricia Valentine; featured in the 2015 International Calendar

Triglycerides in Blood
Triglycerides as whole units come from what you ingest. When you eat fatty foods, that fat is triglycerides. Those molecules go into your small intestine. Your small intestine breaks them into fatty acids to get them through the membranes. They then recombine into a triglyceride unit called a chylomicron to go out into the blood stream. These chylomicrons can be directly used by some cells for energy, or get handed over to fat cells for storage. The fat cells convert them into triglyceride format for that storage.
When doctors do blood tests for your actual "normal" triglyceride blood levels, they make sure you fast for twelve hours. This ensures that all of these chylomicrons from eating food clear your system. The doctor wants to make sure they test your base level of triglycerides in your blood - not an artificial, elevated level from something you just ate.
There's a separate process for sugars you ingest which your body then needs to store as fat. When the sugars are converted into fat in the liver, they get put into VLDLs which are separate little "carriers". These move the body-created fats along to the fat cells for storage.
Either way, when your body stores the energy you eat energy in fat cells, it does so in the form of triglycerides. I cover this in Fat Storage and Triglycerices. Every human body needs at least some fat in those cells to maintain daily functioning. Those triglycerides also do not impact your blood levels. The triglycerides are safely tucked away in their fat cell "balloons" for future use.
When those fat cells get emptied for use, first the triglycerides are broken up into fatty acids for use. It's the fatty acid components which are released. So this process doesn't involve triglycerides in the blood.
So why, after a proper fast, would the blood still have a dense number of triglycerides in it? Why wouldn't those triglycerides have been properly tucked away in fat cells?
Researchers are finding that people who have an issue with the LPL enzyme aren't able to efficiently process triglycerides. So the triglycerides linger in the blood, potentially causing trouble.
Other reasons a body would have trouble processing triglycerides include smoking, alcohol consumption, being obese, and eating too much food for the body to process quickly.
It's important to note here that having triglycerides, in many cases, has nothing to do with eating fats. Your body makes triglycerides out of anything it needs to store for energy. If you ate an entire bag of cookies, all of that sugar would then be stored away as triglycerides in your fat cells. If you were having LPL, smoking, or other issues, that could then cause the high triglycerides in your blood.

Are you a post-graduate sick of scrolling through job adverts and seeing nothing that seems suited to you? Someone looking for a career change? Or merely someone fostering a curiosity for what jobs Europe and the world has to offer? In our recurring series for Legs, E&M explores what professions Europe has to offer beyond what the eye can see. In this issue, we asked a medical biologist what her job entails.
Hi Pénélope! Thanks for agreeing to speak to E&M about your job. So, what exactly is a medical biologist?
In France, a medical biologist* is a doctor who specialises in the diagnosis of diseases relying on the analysis of body fluids, such as blood samples or urine analysis for instance.
This work is divided into multiple specialisations. Here are a few examples:
- Immunology analyses functions of the immune system, for instance the diagnosis of immune deficit
- Haematology analyses blood cells, for instance the diagnosis of blood cancer;
- Biochemists looks at blood chemistry, including for instance vitamins dosage or cholesterol level;
- Genetics is the study of genes and their expressions using mostly blood samples;
- Bacteriology cultivates samples of body fluids to detect infectious diseases; Virology uses similar techniques but to detect viral disease; etc.
And what exactly do you do then?
I am a medical biologist resident, specialised in genetics. At the moment, I work in a hospital for children in a constitutional genetics department. As opposed to cancerous mutations, genetic diseases change the DNA in all of your body, not just a certain part. This is what constitutional genetics is about – finding these mutations.
In my team, I study patients’ DNA to detect a genetic cause for their symptoms. I receive blood samples sent by paediatricians who believe they have detected symptoms of a genetic disease. These can be of any kind as I work in a rather big hospital dealing with all sorts of medical conditions, so I may work with autism, genetic deafness, mucoviscidosis, etc. My job is to find out if the patient’s genes have the mutation responsible for the given disease. I work in the neurological development sector, and in particular with the fragile X syndrome which is the most frequent cause of genetic mental delay among boys.
Genetics has evolved fast in recent times. Today, we use New Generation Sequencing (NGS). This means we can use a gene panel for a type of disease. Let me explain with an example: a child has a development delay, for which we want to find out if there is a genetic cause. We can test a blood sample on a gene panel for developmental delays, using a single analysis to scan between 200 and 400 genes, comparing them with the reference genome (reference genes of a healthy human body) to detect a mutation. This increases the probability of detecting something, without having to carry out several individual tests.
I should add that my laboratory also carries out diagnosis for all these diseases in pre-natal diagnosis. A pre-natal diagnosis is carried out in families where there is a known genetic disease. Amniotic fluid is sampled from the mother and then analysed using techniques I described earlier. This allows to interrupt the pregnancy if the foetus is diagnosed with the disease. In France, this is regulated by bioethics laws. This means every request for a pre-natal diagnosis is presented to a special committee at the hospital before it can be accepted, or not, according to the law. The law stipulated that this can only be done in case of a severe disease incurable at the time of diagnosis.
This is fascinating… What is it you like best about what you do?
My favourite aspect of this job is consultations with patients to explain the diagnosis. I don’t lead those consultations (yet) but I enjoy explaining the disease and its mechanisms, the transmission risks etc. It can be very hard to give a negative diagnosis, but I like the procedure because there is an exchange, an opportunity to reassure and the possibility to support patients.
Another aspect I enjoy is the continuous ethical questioning underlying the practice of genetics.
And so, what is the biggest challenge about your profession?
Well, that’s it: not drifting towards eugenics – because today we can diagnose everything and control everything. The challenge is, therefore, to know where the limit is.
Genetics is a very young specialisation, it is only about 50 years old, so it is still being developed. In France, bioethics laws ensure rather good regulations of the practice but that is not the case everywhere, so the danger is real. The challenge is to make sure genetics is not used to any other end than the wellbeing of families.
What was your dream job when you were younger?
Sadly, I cannot remember. I think the sad thing is that as a child I was merely trying to find the right answer to that question, i.e. the answer that would satisfy the adult who asked the question.
What did you study to become a medical biologist specialised in genetics?
The short answer is I went to medical school. The longer version goes as follows: at the end of my first year of university, I took an exam to get into medical school. At the end of my sixth year, I had my final exam to become a resident in medicine. This is when I chose to become a medical biologist. The next step was four years of residency, with eight different ‘stages’ in various departments.
I am currently in my third year of residency. I still have one more year to do as a resident, while writing my doctoral thesis, before I can be called a doctor. At the moment, I am aiming to work in an oncogenetics hospital department to study DNA mutations responsible for cancers.
What would you say to someone thinking of starting this career path?
Well, I hope you’re ready to work hard because you’ll need to hang on: it’s at least a decade of studies with a lot of work, sacrifices and mental distress. But these all happen in parallel with very powerful moments of feeling a sense of achievement. Unlike many of my friends, I have never wondered in the past ten years if I was useful or if my job was meaningful – even when we are not in contact with patients, we are aware that we contribute to helping society.
* We used the term ‘medical biologist’ to translate the French term médecin biologiste

DRC: Continuing LRA rampage displaces more Congolese
Thousands of Congolese civilians have fled their homes in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo in the wake of deadly raids by the so-called Lord's Resistance Army on villages and towns in Haut Uele district in the last five days.
The rough estimate of the total number of people forcefully displaced since the first LRA attacks last September now stands at 135,000. More than 560 Congolese people have been killed by the Ugandan rebel group over the past four months.
The Ugandan LRA began their attacks on Haut Uele villages in mid-September. The Congolese, Sudanese and Ugandan armed forces began a joint military operation against the LRA on 14 December.
A UNHCR team in the town of Dungu reports that the LRA on Saturday attacked the town of Tora, some 130 km south-east of Dungu, killing residents, pillaging and burning homesteads. Some 15,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) who fled Tora and neighbouring villages, escaping the advancing LRA bands, reached Dungu over the weekend.
Our staff say the IDPs have been arriving on motorbikes, bicycles and on foot, carrying few possessions, including mattresses, jerry cans and bundles of clothing. The new arrivals have occupied public buildings, schools and empty houses. They told UNHCR many more people are on their way to Dungu, hiding or taking a break in the forests along the way.
The Dungu area, which already hosts some 54,000 IDPs, of whom 27,000 live in the town, has limited absorption capacity. Dungu itself was raided by the LRA on November 2, forcing many of its residents to flee to villages in the south-east. Some of them are now returning home, adding to the mounting humanitarian pressure facing the town. We are working with the local authorities and other partners on finding ways to increase the absorption capacity in Dungu and its surroundings.
This morning, the local Red Cross with the support of UNHCR will start a rapid registration exercise of the newly arrived population and identify those in urgent need of assistance.
The distribution of humanitarian assistance brought to Dungu by UN agencies, including UNHCR, is scheduled to start tomorrow. The distribution of food and aid items such as plastic tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats and soap will start in the village of Bamokandi, 17-km north of Dungu, the area with the highest concentration of IDPs. Eventually, the distribution will cover the whole of Dungu area.
The displaced population in Haut Uele is in dire need of food, shelter, medicines, clothes and other aid items. This remote and increasingly unstable area of the DRC poses immense logistical challenges for aid agencies due to the lack of roads or their poor condition. We continue to work with local authorities and other agencies on finding ways of delivering assistance in these insecure and inaccessible areas.


Mosquitoes with West Nile virus found in several Manitoba communities prompting warning
The province is cautioning Manitobans to protect themselves against West Nile virus this summer.
The warning comes after mosquitoes infected with the virus were found in several communities throughout Manitoba.
John Hughes knows first hand the impact West Nile virus can have.
In 2016, a mosquito bite changed his life. He was rushed to hospital, and it was determined he had contracted the virus.
"I was in a coma for approximately four months, and then ICU for about six months, and then I went to rehab," Hughes recalled.
Hughes now uses a wheelchair, as he lost most of the strength in his upper body and needs a lot of help around the house.
"I was a pretty active guy before," Said Hughes.
"I worked full time, I was involved in municipal politics, I was a councillor and a Reeve at the time."
On Thursday, the Government of Manitoba put out a tweet reminding all Manitobans to be aware of West Nile after mosquitos infected with the virus were found in East St. Paul, Morris, Oakbank, and Winnipeg.
In a statement to CTV News, a spokesperson for the province said:
"The mosquitoes in question were collected last week as part of Manitoba health's West Nile Virus surveillance program."
"The mosquito that carries West Nile Virus, Culex tarsalis, has been increasing in numbers throughout the summer."
The province said to reduce your chances of contracting West Nile virus, apply an appropriate insect repellent, wear light clothing with long sleeves and pant legs, and reduce time spent outside between dusk and dawn.
"What people should be aware of, (Culex) tarsalis is a very sneaky biter," said Taz Stuart, a local entomologist.
He said the long weekend is one of the riskiest times of the year as it relates to West Nile virus.
"This is the second and third generation of Culex tarsalis, so they could be infected or infective, meaning they can transmit the virus to a dead-end host like a human."
Stuart said Culex tarsalis numbers are on the rise, and in a few weeks, we could see humans contracting the West Nile Virus.
Hughes said Manitobans should be mindful of mosquitoes in the province. He said his outcome could have been worse.
"There was another person with West Nile in the hospital with me that passed away. So I'm sort of in the middle of the road for survival of West Nile."

“If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications … and if he gives his passport applications and records I will give to a charity of his choice — Inner City Children of Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS Research … a check immediately for 5 million dollars.”
I have one question for Donald, WHAT THE HELL DO THE COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS PROVE?
It’s a shame that these people are allowed to disrespect the President of the United States the way they do just because of their tax bracket.
How about this, here’s three things Donald Trump can to with his 5 Million if he really wants to help:
1) Donate to the charities without any stipulations
2) Split it up between Mitt Romney’s split personalities and force him to show his tax returns from the past 5 years along with his 5 point plan
3) Use the money to buy some class for the Republican party and get a specialist to come in and teach them how to respect their commander-and-chief
This is getting so old. I can’t wait until November 6th for all of this to be over with.
This is getting so out of hand. 20 year old Sharmeka Moffitt of Winnsboro, Louisiana was attacked and set on fire in what many believe to be a hate crime at a park on Sunday . She is said to be in critical condition. The news story is below. Let’s all keep this young lady in our prayers.
I don’t think I have ever seen a sitting president endure the amount of disrespect that the current president has to deal with now. We have conservatives that refuse to refer to the president by his title, but insist on calling former governors by their titles. We have people in congress that decide to be rude and try to cut the president off while he’s talking and then we have little lame rich wanna be bullies like Tagg Romney, who says he wanted to “take a swing” at President Obama while at the presidential debate, but couldn’t because of secret service.
I wonder what the real reason is that these people hate the president so much. Is it really because they disagree on policies? or is it something else? It just seems so much deeper than the typical liberal vs conservative battle. I listen to people like (Insert anyone from Fox News here) and I hear complete hatred in their voices when speaking of the president and I just wonder where is that hatred coming from but then I also know none of them will have the balls to say.
I just wish everyone would keep it classy and realize that an election shouldn’t be about black, white or green but about red, white and blue. If you can’t respect your country’s sitting president, then why should another country respect you?
Anyway, make sure you vote on November 6th people and check out the video of Tagg Romney below:
One of my favorite quotes ever hearing is “If you can’t handle being a parent, don’t make a child”.
In New Orleans a 23-year old woman is in custody after admitting to drowning her four year old daughter and shooting her three year old son. These types of stories always suck because kids don’t deserve to be hurt or murdered. Kids don’t ask to come into this cruel world and, like I always say, parents are supposed to protect their kids, not hurt them. This mother unfortunately didn’t get that memo.
I won’t sit here and judge but people please realize that the kids are the future and it’s our jobs as parents to help them be prepared for it , not to stop them from reaching it.
(New Video From WWL New Orleans)
Many may remember Amanda Clayton. She won the lottery a little over a year ago and, within that time, she made news because she was still receiving food stamps even though she had a million dollars in winnings. Well, Ms. Clayton has been found dead from what appears to be an overdose with her daughter next to her says wxyz.com.
“It’s simply common sense that million dollar lottery winners forfeit their right to public assistance,” Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a statement. “We will continue to work with local, state and federal authorities to uphold state laws intended to ensure wise stewardship of taxpayer dollars.”
Here is the video from when Clayton was confronted by the news about still receiving food stamps
Word got out this week that Power 102.9 FM in New Orleans would be moving on from The Power Posse Morning Show and adding the syndicated Ricky Smiley Morning show.
While some may like this move, others have shown frustration and disappointment in losing another local hip-hop morning show in the city.
At one point in time New Orleans was known for it’s originality, but now it’s slowly becoming just like everywhere else. Personally, I don’t think I will ever understand New Orleans radio. The city should have local programs running all day and all night, but the people of the city also have to support the local programming while it’s available.
With that being said I want to give a “Posse Waaaaaa” shout out to Big Abe and DJ. Chicken and wish them good luck anything they have going
on in the future.
NBC Adds New Orleans Set Musical Sitcom
Word is also out that NBC is in the process of filming a new musical sitcom set in New Orleans.
Deadline.com reports: “Set in musically rich New Orleans, The Swamp follows the misadventures of a scramble-style college marching band and its unlikeliest of mentors. Named after the name of the off-campus house where the band members reside, the show is described as a contemporary character comedy with social commentary and musical performances. Brady executive produces with Werner’s Tom
Werner and Mike Clements.”
I hate musicals, but I love New Orleans so I guess I’ll have to give this show a try.

The “Ocean of Soul” marching band of Texas Southern University has been suspended for hazing. A news release has been issued about the situation:
“While it is not known at this time how many students were involved in this incident, it is believed to involve one section of the band,” the statement said.
The suspension canceled Thursday’s scheduled band performance at TSU’s football game against Sam Houston State University.
Besides the police probe, university officials have convened along with student affairs, which will “take appropriate action,” the release said.
This incident is following a long list of problems that have been going on with the university for almost a decade. Let’s all just hope that this is a false alarm and/or a major overreaction
This is one of those stories that will have you shaking your head. Around 2 AM on Wednesday morning, the Houston police found two kids (3 and 5) in the car sleeping while their parents were in a nightclub getting loose. It’s hard to imagine that parents would do these types of childish things to their children. Well, needless to say, the police took the parents and CPS took the kids
“We located a 3-year-old and 5-year-old and they were sleeping the entire time,” said Sgt. MT Ferguson with the Houston Police Department. “Both parents are in custody.”
People should really start taking parenthood seriously. Know your role; if you’re a shitty person, then you will probably be a shitty parent. Our younger generation has it hard enough dealing with the rest of the world, so the one thing every kid should have is parents they can depend on.
Here’s the video from Abcnews.com

Dharamshala: The annual state-level Dharamshala Summer Festival got off to a cold start with not many present at the inaugural ceremony. Absence of any political figures from Congress as well as BJP at the venue left little to be guessed as to why the cultural event evoked little interest. With politicians busy preparing for the Hamirpur by-polls, the show this time is completely being managed by the bureaucracy.
The event started with a colourful presentation by artists from Trigart Kala Vasundhara Manch, which was followed by shahnai by Rafiq Mohammad. The night, in fact, belonged to local artists with hope that star power will attract good crowds in the coming two days.
Meanwhile, the month-long International Shimla Summer Festival will start from May 15. Bollywood singers Aalka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal have already confirmed their presence at the fest. The yesteryears’ week-long festival has been extended to a month-long festival for the first time.


PESHAWAR – Master batsman of Pakistan cricket team, Younis Khan has on Saturday announced retirement, Pakistantribe.com reported.
The decision came days after skipper Misbah ul Haq decided to bid adieu to Test cricket.
He announced that he will leave cricket after the three-match Test series against West Indies.
Younus has represented Pakistan in 115 Tests scoring 9,977 at an average of 53.06 courtesy 34 tons and 32 half tons.
“I will leave cricket after the West Indies series,” said Younus. “I apologise if I hurt anyone during my cricketing career. It was an honourto represent Pakistan.”
When asked about the effect his and Misbah’s retirement will have on the Test team, Younus said that youngsters always take hold of the reins.
“Whenever big names leave the team, every asks who will lead the team now,” said Younus. “But life goes on. When I came in the national side, there were a lot of stars already present and I used to think that what will happen when they leave. But I led a young side to World T20 and they won it with me. So, whenever old cricketers leave, new ones do take their place.”
Younus then backed Pakistan limited-overs captain Sarfraz Ahmed to become the Test captain.
He also led Pakistan to their only World T20 title in 2009. He represented the Men in Green in 25 shortest-format encounters and scored 442 runs at an average of 22.10.
In the 50-over format, the right-handed batsman played 265 matches for Pakistan, scoring 7,249 with seven centuries and 48 half-tons.
The 39-year-old was recently inducted into Wisden’s list of best cricketers of 2016.

LAND O'LAKES — These are testing times for Suzie Arb.
Arb is the executive director of the Suncoast Harvest Food Bank, who took over the 17-year-old Land O'Lakes institution last December after stints at the American Diabetes Association and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Suncoast Harvest serves Pasco, Hernando, Citrus and Sumter counties.
She's at the helm of an agency that was reeling this time last year from supplies and staff that seemed to be drying up just as the economic downturn was starting to bite.
There wasn't a certainty at the time that the food bank could have handled the growing ranks of those in need.
"We had a staff shortage," Arb said. "And we had an executive director who got very ill."
The food bank's thrift store, called Clara's Closet, was a symbol of the unintentional neglect as donations piled up unattended on its premises.
"We let it get run down," said Harry Wright, who rejoined the food bank's board of directors last year, after a short period of involvement when it began. "Now we're getting it back up again."
The heat is on: As foreclosures, job losses and gas prices mount, Suncoast Harvest faces a rising tide of demand.
People who work in the food banks and at United Way say they're seeing not just the traditional customer base of homeless people and fixed-income seniors, but more young families with children, working single mothers, working single fathers, workers in retail, hotel and construction industries, and even real estate agents and mortgage brokers.
"We've seen a tremendous increase in the number of people who come to us," Arb said. "Last year, we served 11,500 people and gave out 3-million pounds of food. This year (so far), we've had 17,000 and given out 3.5- to 3.8-million pounds."
On a mission to rejuvenate the agency, Arb closed part of the thrift store, redeployed staff and installed refrigeration in the storage area as a condition that allowed the agency to keep receiving U.S. Department of Agriculture food donations, such as instant mashed potatoes and rice.
The agency used to have seven staff members, but had only one dedicated to the thrift store which keeps revenue coming into the food bank.
"We're at the mercy of donations from the community" for thrift store donations, Arb said. "After Christmas, a lot of people would be 'out with the old, and in with the new,' so we would have tons of donations. But it took a lot of staff time and energy to size and hang it up."
Arb has hired two more staffers and split her total work force roughly evenly between the store and the food bank.
Things are thriving again, to the point where Arb's facing a new worry at the food bank: space. "Our little warehouse is busting at the seams but we don't have the money to expand," she said. "We could add 200,000 square feet at the back."
Arb's hoping that this year's "Bug Jam" will regenerate community fundraising for the agency. That's the annual event planned for November, when lovers of Volkswagen beetles converge for a car show at the Pasco County Fairgrounds.
The Suncoast Harvest Food Bank will run the concession stand and proceeds go to the food bank.
"We always prefer folks do cash contributions, because we can buy at wholesale prices," Arb said. "But if they would like to make contributions in-kind, we do need canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat and peanut butter. We always have an overabundance of snacks, potato products, high-carbohydrate products."
Suncoast Harvest runs five truck distributions across four counties each month, and hands out free food at the agency the third Saturday of every month.
"The need out there is growing," Arb said.

Humans have exposed themselves to a host of new viral diseases by playing around too much with the environment
outbreaks of previously unknown viruses is increasingly being reported from several parts of the world. The us Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( cdc ) in Atlanta, Georgia, has identified 50 new viruses that cause illness among humans. One reason for this is the rampant human infiltration into virgin forests -- a result of the rising human population that is adding to the pressure on natural resources all the time. This brings humans in contact with new viruses all the time. International travel has also exposed populations across the world to a host of previously unknown viruses.
"The moment humans interfere with nature, viruses start breaking out," warns Pradeep Seth, head of the department of microbiology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences ( aiims ), New Delhi. He adds that human encroachment into animal territories due to indiscriminate developmental and infrastructural activities accelerates the risk of more lethal outbreaks.
In recent years, many complicated and deadly viruses have been found in human populations in India, transmitted directly or indirectly by human intervention. "The Kyasanur forest disease, named after the forest where the disease broke out in the Shimoga district of Karnataka, is a clear example of human interference with nature," says Seth. When the forest was cleared, ticks belonging to the arbovirus family, which were present in the rodents and monkeys, were passed on to humans, leading to several casualties.
The Ebola virus that struck Congo in 1995 is suspected to have spread from forests. In April 1999, two infants in Hong Kong were infected with a new bird flu virus that differs from the deadly bird flu virus that killed six people in the territory in 1997. A two-year-old boy recently died in Hong Kong from severe complications arising from an intestinal virus called Eterovirus 71. After a routine check at a farm on Quemoy island in Taiwan in May, officials from the agriculture department found a new strain of virus that causes the foot-and-mouth disease. Two animals checked in a second farm also tested positive for the virus. Due to fear of the disease spreading to the main island, Quemoy authorities ordered the destruction of the farm's 45 cattle. Apparently, none of the cattle showed any symptoms.
Scientists at cdc report that a new virus, called Nipah after the area where it first broke out in Malaysia, claimed around 100 lives. The virus is carried by pigs and has never been seen in humans earlier. Since it was first detected in 1998, it has greatly devastated the us $395 million pig farming industry of the country. Pork sales slumped by 70 per cent. So far, there have been 221 reported cases of Nipah and 850,000 pigs have been slaughtered since the outbreak. Controlling the disease is becoming more complicated. Scientists fear the virus would spread to other animals, making it difficult to keep it under control. "Viruses constantly mutate. A new, more lethal mutant resurfaces all the time. This is the process of virus evolution," says Sudhanshu Vrati, principal research scientist at the National Institute of Immunology.
The Nipah outbreak in Malaysia is said to have catalysed from an outbreak of a strain of the flavivirus that causes Japanese encephalitis, a disease that leads to inflammation of the brain. It is also transmitted from pigs to humans by mosquitoes. However, the deadlier Nipah was found to be involved. Studies by cdc revealed that the rna sequence of the virus is closely related to the deadly Hendra virus, which was first isolated in 1994 in Brisbane, Australia, where it killed 14 horses and a trainer. " rna viruses replicate at a rapid pace. Once they enter the brain, they start replicating and cause severe illness," says Vrati.
V Ramalingaswami, former director general of the Indian Council of Medical Research, makes an interesting observation: "Old viruses re-emerge because of the ecological conditions that may be conducive to viral attack." In India, Japanese encephalitis was first discovered in 1955. There were a few outbreaks. However, it has lately assumed serious significance and is associated with high mortality. "Sporadic cases have broken out and it is now a major public health issue," adds Ramalingaswami.

RSF expands “Uncensored Library” in Minecraft with room on Iran
To mark World Day Against Cyber Censorship (12 March), Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has opened an additional room about Iran in its “Uncensored Library” within the popular video game Minecraft. The room contains information provided by the US-based Iranian TV channel Iran International. RSF has also expanded the room dedicated to the Russian media.
The creation of the new room dedicated to Iran and Iran International comes three years after RSF launched its “Uncensored Library” within Minecraft as a way to circumvent online censorship. The game’s players can access and download the library though this link. All of the content in the library’s rooms is available in English and in the mother tongue of the journalist or media that created it.
The “Uncensored Library” is located within Minecraft because this video game is still subject to little censorship, even in countries that are press freedom predators. With more than 145 million active monthly players, Minecraft is one of the world’s most popular video games. The average age of its players is 24.
“The enemies of the media and information tighten their grip on the Internet every year, but there are still loopholes in their censorship systems that we must exploit. That is the reason for this digital library, the expansion of which poses a direct challenge to oppressive countries such as Iran and Russia.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran is currently one of the world’s most hostile regimes for independent journalists and media. The authorities have been stepping up their harassment of media personnel ever since the start of the protests about Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody last September. Of the 31 journalists currently imprisoned in Iran, 29 were arrested in the past six months. The authorities are also blocking social media to prevent Iranian citizens from accessing news and information online.
Even Iranian journalists living in self-imposed exile are subject to a great deal of pressure and threats. Iran International used to be based in London but had to relocate to Washington because of the high level of threats to the safety of its journalists in the British capital.
New Russian media outlet added to library
Russia has taken its persecution of journalists to a new level since launching its invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, when the Kremlin quickly adopted new Orwellian laws to systematise censorship. This is why RSF has expanded the space dedicated to censored Russian media content, adding content from the independent Russian media outlet Lyudi Baykala.
Founded in February 2020, Lyudi Baykala is an Irkutsk-based regional media outlet whose coverage includes investigative reporting about soldiers recruited from this region, one of the poorest in Russia, in order to fight and die in Ukraine.
“Uncensored Library” – innovative way to evade online censorship
The “Uncensored library” is an idea of the German creative agency DDB, the “Uncensored Library” was built with the help of the design studio BlockWorks. Twenty Minecraft users from seven different countries help to construct the rooms.

Last week, we at Madonnarama, revealed the title of the song produced by Benny Benassi, “Girls Gone Wild”, that will be featured on Madonna’s upcoming album.
When asked on Twitter about his collaboration with Madonna, Benny Benassi replied…
No ….mate is not real … Fake news
Maybe he isn’t allowed to talk about it, but he isn’t telling the truth and like we said before, there’s a big possibility that the huge dance track will be released as a single.
Last month, rumours of Sia taking part in Madonna’s new album started after she tweeted (and removed it afterwards)
What would you want to hear madonna sing about on her next record?
A few days ago she confirmed she won’t be collaborating with Madonna in a honest tweet…
To answer your questions, none of my songs made it on the Madonna record. My ego gently weeps.

Enjoy This Post? Share the Love!
Daytrips and Short-Term Excursions. Most vacations fall into a pattern of summer or year-end excursions preceded by long-term planning. However, for a short break to fit into a hectic work schedule or a more limited budget, short-term excursions nearby or as an add-on to a business trip can be a real tonic.
Longing for a “spring break” but not able to get away, I charted my holiday around a weekend in my home town of Washington, DC. No longer still just a government-focused nation’s capital, the city has diversified. It is now a culturally rich destination with multiple options beyond just visiting the national monuments.
My break happened to coincide with one of the great spring draws: the National Cherry Blossom Festival. It first began in 1935 following a gift of 3,000 cherry trees from the city of Tokyo. It has grown to become a three week long celebration. The festivities end with a parade of highly decorated floats carrying Cherry Blossoms Princesses while lively high school bands lead the way.
Although the weather can be a chilly 50 degrees and raining, for 2014 it was a glorious 75-80 degree day with no humidity, perfect for a walk the length of the parade route. In addition to an estimated crowd of 100,000 of spectators, 5 US Presidents were also in the parade or at least their stand-in’s were in sports jersey bearing their administration’s number. Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln were the most recognizable but were also joined by Teddy Roosevelt and Taft, the latter known for creating a permanent White House link with baseball. In keeping with the spirit of the celebration, some spectators joined in the fun wearing their own costumes, including in one case tee shirts combined with pink tutu’s.
Underscoring the international character of present day Washington, street vendors offered a range of cuisine from Korean Kimchi to Punjabi fare. The global flavor was underscored by Chinese dances and the Japanese-American block-long street fair.
I made my way walking the full length of the Mall parade route but without getting to the Tidal Basin, itself, the starting point for the Festival. However, the Washington Monument grounds provide a competing array of the bright pink blossoms while multiple side streets in the commercial and residential districts have their own cherry blossom line-up.
To continue my impromptu holiday, I stopped in at Washington’s Chinatown. Unfortunately, the neighborhood has been rapidly shrinking with the arrival of larger urban development. However, still remaining are several top restaurants featuring lunch specials as well as a few small shops with authentic local flavor, such as the New Da Hsin Trading Inc. It carries some of the same wares I saw in Beijing with prices competitive with the street vendors in China. There are tin cans of Chinese grocery items that I can only guess as to their contents and brightly colored screens with imperial dragons. I am always intrigued by the unique items they carry like umbrellas with UV protection (parasols?) and Chinese style “dresses” that fit over a wine bottle and make a great hostess gift.
Rounding out the weekend’s contrasting holiday was a very different offering on Sunday in nearby Leesburg/Northern Virginia. The popular event was the annual horserace at the Oatlands Plantation, the spring Point-to-Point, a fundraiser for the Loudoun Hunt. Oatlands, the backdrop for the race, includes on its grounds a stunning mansion started in 1803 and open to the public as a National Historic Landmark.
With such an action-packed weekend, I found that a short-term excursion, whether in our own backyards or abroad, can be a great filler between annual vacations. The price was right and no long term planning was needed!

After successfully launching the Thybolt 1 and Thybolt 2 amateur radio communication nanosatellites, Hyderabad-based space tech start-up Dhruva Space is now preparing for larger deployments in the coming months.
“Thybolt 1 and Thybolt 2 are two amateur radio communication nanosatellites. They weigh roughly 700 grams and are the size of tiffin containers,” explained Chief Technology Officer Abhay Egoor.
Launched by ISRO’s PSLV-C54 on November 26, the indigenously developed 0.5-U satellites are now in low-earth orbit. The first signals from the private nanosatellites were recorded over Hyderabad on the night of November 26.
Dhruva Space is a full-stack space technology company that ensures a satellite is launched and put in the intended orbit. They also operate and monitor the satellite after this. “In the Thybolt 1 and 2 missions, the company has done a full stack,” said CEO Sanjay Nekkanti, adding that both are based on the P DoT platform of Dhruva Space.
“The P DoT is a picosatellite platform (weighing 1–24 kg). It generates power using a body-mounted solar panel. It also has a control system that ensures that once the satellite is in orbit, the satellite solar panels are pointing towards the sun and the antennas are pointing towards the ground,” said Nekkanti. “The communication system, the power system, the control system, the satellite software, and the antenna deployment mechanism all have been built by Dhruva Space.”
These radio communication nanosatellites will “provide access to the amateur radio community worldwide”.
The two Thybolt satellites also send their health parameters in the form of morse code and can be received by any individual. “These satellites can also be utilised for some sort of messaging through the Store and Forward messaging facility.”
Nekkanti elaborated: “Suppose the satellite is passing over Hyderabad; it can pick up a byte, and it will store the byte. Now, say the satellite revolves around the earth and comes over Delhi, the message can be relayed to a ham radio operator there.”
The company plans to launch the P30 nanosatellite — weighing 1 to 30 kg — sometime between June and December next year. “The P30 platform can be used for different sorts of applications. The platform can be used to study the weather and image the planet. It can also be used for interplanetary missions and for studying the different atmospheres of different planets,” said Nekkanti. “The final platform is P90 with satellites weighing up to 300 kg.”
The four co-founders — the other two are Chief Operating Officer Krishna Teja and Chief Financial Officer Chaitanya Dora Surapureddy — have known each other for over a decade. Chaitanya, Abhay, and Krishna completed their bachelor’s degrees in engineering from BITS Pilani (Goa) while Nekkanti graduated from SRM University with a bachelor’s degree in electronics and telecommunications.
Mumbai Angel Network, Indian Angel Network, Indian Angel Network Fund, and Blue Ashva Capital have invested in the company so far.

Oh…I have so neglected posting to this blog! So sorry, guys! I will be posting, more often than not, over on www.carikaufman.com. Please visit me there! But, in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a journal post from my time at Captivating in April.
Big fluffy snowflakes fall, muffling the sounds of four hundred women beginning to stir. The beauty of the mountains surround me. We have all come here together seeking the same answer to the same question, a question every woman bears- “Am I captivating?”
We all ask it different ways-but it is the ageless question on every woman’s heart. On mine.
“Lord, am I beautiful? Am I truly yours, Lord? Do you really love ME so much that you would send you son to DIE…FOR ME?
I wish I could say that I am a woman who didn’t need that question constantly answered. I wish that the blessed assurance that I am God’s BELOVED DAUGHTER– bought and paid for…no RANSOMED..by the blood of Jesus Christ would sit, would stay put in my heart forever. But the understanding of that sacrifice escapes daily, sometimes hourly, sometimes by the minute.
The world and the enemy of my soul they tell me it’s not true, they tell me I am not lovely, I am not captivating, I am not beloved….even worse- they tell me I am not His.
And I wish, God, I pray, that I did not believe that lie so often. So Lord, I come to ask you , “Do you see me? Am I lovely? Am I yours, Lord?
In this room, where others are asking the same question in each their own special way…I hear You shout, not whisper, but cry out a definitive, “YES!“ And my heart cries out in joy…in response.
I see it now, all around me…your extravagant love for me…like a beau bringing flowers to his lady. I see it in the fluffy snowflakes on my eyelashes- like kisses from God. And in the beautiful smiles of the sister hearts I meet all around me. And the breathtaking views of the mountains. And the vivid blue of the sky. And I hear it in the 400 voices raised in song and worship, and the shouts of praise and the whispered prayers of intercessors.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for meeting me here. For bringing me here. For loving me here. I love You.
“I kept running around it in large or small circles, always looking for someone or something able to convince me of my Belovedness. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the “Beloved”. Being the Beloved expresses the core truth of our existence.”
-Henri Nouwen, The Life of the Beloved
