The Halden Reactor Project has developed two systems to investigate how signal validation and thermal performance monitoring techniques can be improved. By Øivind Berg, Paolo Fantoni, Svein Sunde and Fridtjov Øwre
PEANO is an online calibration monitoring system that makes use of artificial intelligence techniques. The system has been tested in cooperation with EPRI and Edan Engineering, using real data from a US PWR plant. These tests showed that PEANO could reliably assess the performance of the process instrumentation at different plant conditions. Real cases of zero and span drifts were successfully detected by the system.
TEMPO is a system for thermal performance monitoring and optimisation, which relies on plant-wide first principle models. The system has been installed on a Swedish BWR plant. Results obtained show an overall rms deviation from measured values of a few tenths of a percent, and giving goodness-of-fits in the order of 95%. The high accuracy demonstrated is a good basis for detecting possible faults and efficiency losses in steam turbine cycles.
To ensure safe, efficient, and economical operation of nuclear power plants one needs to calibrate the safety-related instrument channels. Current practice of the calibration processes is to periodically determine the performance characteristics of an instrument and make adjustments if necessary. Typically, this is done once every fuel cycle, irrespective if the instrument is in need of calibration. This is a costly and labour-intensive approach and does not guarantee detection of instrument failure during plant operation, when it could contribute to optimisation.
Online monitoring of instrument channels provides information about the condition of the monitored channels through accurate, more frequent monitoring of each channel's performance over time. This type of performance monitoring is a methodology that offers an alternative approach to traditional time-directed calibration. The online monitoring approach is based on evaluating the instrument channel performance by assessing its consistency with the parameters estimate, which is calculated from related plant indications. A number of different online monitoring implementations have been developed over the last few years and some plants already use it in addition to the time-based calibration programme to obtain additional information for plant maintenance.
A study has been performed with the PEANO system on data collected from a US nuclear power plant during normal operation. The aim was to assess how well some of the online monitoring implementations are suited for the task they are designed for. One of implementations selected was the PEANO system, which makes use of artificial intelligence techniques for its purpose.
Artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic can be combined to exploit the learning and generalisation capability of the former technique with the approximate reasoning embedded in the latter approach. Real-time process signal validation is an application field where the use of this technique can improve the diagnosis of faulty sensors and the identification of outliers in a robust and reliable way.
PEANO implements a fuzzy-possibilistic clustering algorithm to classify the operating region in which the validation process has to be performed. The possibilistic approach (rather than probabilistic) allows a "don't know" classification that results in a fast detection of unforeseen plant conditions or outliers.
The fuzzy classifier identifies the incoming signal pattern (a set of reactor process signals) as a member of one of the clusters covering the entire universe of discourse represented by the possible combinations of steady state and transient values of the input set in the n-dimensional input world. Each cluster is associated with one ANN that was previously trained only with data belonging to that cluster, for the input set validation process.
During the operation, while the input point moved in an n-dimensional world (because of process state changes or transients), the classifier provides an automatic switching mechanism to allow the best tuned ANN to do the job.
There are two main advantages in using this architecture: the accuracy and generalisation capability is increased compared to the case of a single network working in the entire operating region; and the ability to identify abnormal conditions - where the system is not capable of operating with a satisfactory accuracy - is improved.
PEANO has a client-server architecture. The server is connected to the process through a TCP/IP communication protocol and the results of the validation activity are transferred to the client programs, also using TCP/IP. (figures currently not available) Figure 1 shows the display of a PEANO client during an online validation test.
The error bands in the mismatch plots are calculated by PEANO during the training according to the expected error of prediction for each particular cluster and signal.
Test results using PEANO
Figures 2 to 4 describe some results achieved with PEANO, using real data from a US PWR nuclear plant (data provided by EPRI). PEANO was used to monitor 55 process signals up to the secondary side of the steam generators. The data was taken from three months of operation (March to May 2000) at different operation conditions.
Figure 2 shows the recalibration of a steam flow sensor while the plant was in operation. It can be seen that after this intervention, the mismatch was well within the two standard deviation limits.
Figure 3 shows the monitoring of a feedwater flow sensor during the power-up ramp. While the mismatch between PEANO and the instrument is always within the limits, it is interesting to note that the tolerance band width changes with the plant operating conditions, because the accuracy of the system cannot be the same in all the possible conditions.
Figure 4 illustrates an interesting example of span drift of a steam flow sensor. Span drifts are difficult to detect because they show up only at some location of the instrument range. In this real-life example, the instrument was perfectly inside the calibration range until the power level came close to the rated level (high end of the instrument range). At this point the instrument started to drift and eventually finished outside the allowed tolerance band. At the plant, this drift was discovered only one month later.
Thermal performance monitoring
An important task for the operator during normal operation is to optimise plant performance with respect to economy and safety. Monitoring and optimisation of the thermal efficiency is getting increasingly important as energy market liberalisation exposes the plants to ever-stricter availability requirements and fiercer competition. Typical problems are fouling and leakages in heat exchangers, leaking valves, degradations of pumps and compressors, as well as drift in sensors, in particular flowmeters. These faults may not be severe enough to cause major operational problems, but will affect the economic performance of the plant if not identified and rectified at an early stage.
TEMPO is a computer system that aims at satisfying information needs associated with efficiency monitoring, online calibration of plant measurements, fault detection, diagnosis, and "what-if" analysis of steam turbine cycles and similar systems. TEMPO relies on plant-wide first principle models, which are assembled from a menu of standard components in a graphical user interface. The models are configured by a click-and-drop procedure in a configuration screen, allowing for complete customisation.
TEMPO receives data from the process online, and performs steady-state calculations in three different modes.
In the simulation mode TEMPO calculates all states in a turbine cycle for a given input. For example, the state at the steam generator output to the high pressure turbine, or its control valves, and the state of the coolant input to the condenser may be specified. In the simulation mode, the user may freely study the consequences of changes in parameters or configurations, for example introducing leaks or fouling in heat exchangers.
In the optimisation mode, TEMPO varies user-selected parameters of the components of the plant in order to maximise efficiency or power. For example, the user may choose to optimise power by letting TEMPO adjust simultaneously the speed of selected pumps and positions of selected valves in order to find the combination of these that makes the plant attain the highest power. All parameters are varied within limits set by the user. In addition, other constraints such as temperature, pressure and steam quality may be imposed.
In the monitoring mode TEMPO adjusts user-selected parameters of components in order to minimise the difference between measured values of user-selected temperatures, flows and pressures and the corresponding calculated values of the plant model. Usually the input states to the system are varied if these are not known with high accuracy. The points that emerge from this are: an overall value for the probability that the process is free of (unknown) faults, the so-called goodness-of-fit Q; adjusted values for the measurements; process states for all streams included in the model; and estimates for component parameters.
The goodness-of-fit represents an overall assessment of whether there are faults or not in the process, and is usually the most important single number for fault detection and alarms. For tracking down the cause of an assumed fault, the values of the component parameters and process states will be of significant diagnostic value. In addition to values themselves, TEMPO calculates the uncertainty of all its estimates.
Test results using TEMPO
Recent tests at a BWR give an overall rms deviation from measured values of a few tenths of a percent, and giving goodness-of-fits Q in the order of 95%. Also, TEMPO had no difficulties detecting a known case of a faulty sensor.
In Figure 5, the calculated and measured feedwater flow (nearly overlapping curves) is shown. The typical deviation in these were 1-2kg/s, corresponding to 0.05-0.1%.
Figure 6 illustrates the use of TEMPO for calculating the consequences of various separator plate leaks in feedwater heaters in terms of their inlet and outlet temperatures, which may be of value in fault diagnosis.

After all day work, good sleep is something that recharges the body for the next day’s activity. But insomnia and other associated sleeping disorders have increased at an alarming rate with the changing lifestyles that bring with it hectic schedule, physical, mental stress and anxiety.
Nevertheless, worries related to sleeping issues get resolved right away with effective medications that have proved their worth by improving sleep quality. One such class of drugs is non- benzodiazepine hypnotics that include two of the widely used medications, namely Imovane and Ambien.
Both Imovane and Ambien work by increasing the activity of neurotransmitter GABA in the Central Nervous System (CNS) that comprises of the brain and the nerves. As an effect of this, the CNS experiences tranquilization or a sense of depression that leads to sedation, thereby inducing sleep.
Chemically, Imovane is cyclopyrrolone while Ambien is imidazopyridine. Despite variations in chemical structure, Imovane and Ambien relieve sleep disturbances via similar mode of action. The effectiveness of both of these drugs has been established and approved by FDA for resolving sleep issues.
As with most of the drugs that treat insomnia, tolerance development, habit-forming property and addiction are the key concerns, the same goes with Imovane and Ambien.
The sedative effect that Imovane imparts to induce and maintain sleep makes the user dependent on the drug. Imovane is meant for short term usage and after long durations of use, the body demands higher dose and as the saturation level is reached, the body develops tolerance to the drug, eventually the effectiveness of the drug on that body diminishes.
Another problem with this drug is the addiction that makes withdrawing the drug difficult. Get to know the withdrawal symptoms of ambien and how to withdraw it effectively at www.exlpharmacy.com In fact abruptly ending up the dosage might lead to anxiety, tachycardia, sweats, palpitations, tremors, flushes, and even add on to the existing sleep issues such as insomnia itself.
To deal with cases of tolerance development, one possible solution may be shifting to other to medication called as Ambien. This might turn out to be successful in some and not be a good option for others.
There’s no sure shot strategy that can be claimed to be 100 percent effective in fighting drug tolerance but studies have found that withdrawing the drug for some time and then restarting the dosage might revive the efficacy of the drug to a considerable extent.
There are quite a few strategies to tackle the problem of drug tolerance but whether replacing Imovane with Ambien will be a successful strategy for combating drug tolerance or not can only be addressed by the health care provider.
Also, the suggestions in the article should not be considered as recommendations and any decision regarding shifting to the Ambien drug should be taken strictly under the supervision of medical practitioner only. If you find that you are addicted or improved tolerance to Imovane, your health care professional would help you to shift to Ambien.

Beaches on Koh Samui - Travel information
Bophut is an old fishing village that is undoubtedly one of the most charming beach spots on the island. Although many of the seafront shop houses have been converted into trendy restaurants and shops, there is still something special about the village, which retains its original heritage.
Several kilometers of white sandy beach and the calm waters of the bay make this a popular spot for relaxing, wining and dining. At night, the area is charming - quiet and intimate, and a wonderful alternative to the island's more hedonistic locations. Samui Villas & Homes offers luxurious holiday villas for rent in Bophut: Dhevatara Residence - Ban Kinaree - Baan Bua Sawan - Baan Fueng Fah
Big Buddha Beach & Choeng Mon
Big Buddha Beach is on the northeastern tip of Koh Samui, and as the name suggests, is home to the 15m-high Big Buddha statue. Like Bophut, it remains a tranquil and relaxed location, with a pleasing pace of life. Samui Villas & Homes offers luxurious holiday villas for rent in Big Buddha Beach (Bangrak): Ban Haad Sai - Baan Tamarind
Further eastwards, is Choeng Mon. This beach is only 15 minutes from Chaweng, but because it is in a protected cove, the water remains calm and clear.
With seven kilometers of fine white sands stretching down Koh Samui's East coast, it is easy to see why Chaweng has long been established as the island's most popular beach. The main beach lends itself to all kinds of Watersports activities, as well as offering social and scenic opportunities. Hundreds of bronzed bodies worship the Thai sun on these expansive sands but there is still enough space to get away from the crowds if you wish, allowing you to enjoy a more peaceful experience.
Beyond the beach, the center of Chaweng beach road features the island's largest selection of eating, shopping and partying opportunities. International and local cuisines, souvenir and handicraft bargains, and a good range of bars, music venues and dance clubs are available to suit anyone's tastes or mood. For a more intimate evening, there are plenty of bars and restaurants right on the beach, offering a relaxed view of the gentle waves and the starry skies above. Wining and dining on some of Samui's seafood specialties, with the sand between your toes, is something not to be missed.
Coral Cove is located about 10 minutes drive south of Chaweng, half way to Lamai. As the name indicates, the bay is composed by many small coves, ideal for swimming, and offers fantastic ocean views.
Coral Cove is out of the way of all the bars and night life night but still close enough to indulge for just a few baht with a taxi when you want.
Despite the fact that Coral Cove has no center for shopping and or nightlife, you will be amazed by the choice of restaurants and fine dininig on the rocks along the mainroad.
Laem Set is situated on the South East coast of the island. The south coast is very relaxing and there is no shopping or nightlife nearby though it is only a 20mins drive to Lamai or 30mins to Chaweng. Laem Set is an area which offers varied attractions for adults and children alike. The famous Butterfly farm is nestled in the hills above the beach, you will enjoy a lovely day out walking through tropical gardens filled with butterflies. Laem Set boasts some high end resort and spas offering a more holistic approach set in outstanding locations. You can also enjoy first class dining at these resorts.
Laem Set is the perfect spot for those who are looking for a more secluded and private accommodation. Luxury Holiday Villas for rent in Laem Set: Baan Laem Set
Laem Sor is famous for its ancient pagoda. This beach-front chedi may be the most beautiful place on the island. The chedi is actually rather old, but restored just a few years ago with glazed tiles that have a mustard color probably meant to be look like gold. Next to the chedi is a small 'meditation forest' of trees with places to sit and even a few tables. Surrounding the forest on two sides is a man-made lagoon with some mangrove trees planted along the ocean side.
This stretch of quiet beach has just a few private homes on it allowing it to retain its tropical serenity overlooking the islands of Koh Matsum and Koh Taen.
Lamai's attractions are its open market and the old monastery, which includes a local museum. Nature lovers will want to explore the paths just to the backof the beach road, where peaceful coconut and fruit (banana, pineapple, durian) plantations can be found, as well trekking trails leading into the island's jungle interior.
The main beach road features attractions such as health and meditation centers and a Thai boxing school, whilst further along stand the famous Grandfather and Grandmother rocks, a favorite amongst Thai and foreign tourists. Samui Villas & Homes offers a beachfront holiday villa for rent in Lamai. Baan Talay
Lipa Noi offers a serene ambiance with outstanding sunsets on the west coast of Koh Samui.
The beach boasts soft, white sand flanked by endless lines of coconut plantations. Far from the noise and bustle the surrounding atmosphere is peaceful and attractive. You can walk along the beach and choose from a number of Thai restaurants providing evening entertainment such as Thai dancing and acrobatics. In Lipa Noi area can also experience fine dining with spectacular sunsets.

Would-Be Candidate Is Taking His Time
Saturday, September 15, 2007
Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) edged yesterday about as close to a U.S. Senate candidacy as it is possible to get without actually entering the race.
Davis, appearing on WTOP's "The Politics Program," told host Mark Plotkin that a formal announcement won't come until November but that his intention is to run for the seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. John W. Warner (R).
"Right now, all systems are go," said Davis, a seven-term House member and former Fairfax County Board of Supervisors chairman, who has been assembling money and staff members for the contest.
If nominated, his most likely Democratic opponent would be another Northern Virginian, former governor Mark R. Warner of Alexandria, who announced his candidacy this week.
Davis cited two reasons for waiting until November. One is a reluctance to compete for voter attention with this fall's local and state legislative campaigns, one of them being waged -- although he did not mention her specifically -- by his wife, State Sen. Jeannemarie Devolites Davis (R-Fairfax). She is facing a stiff challenge from Democrat J. Chapman "Chap" Petersen. The congressman has been devoting significant time and energy to her race, including knocking on doors in the 34th Senate District.
The other reason is what Davis called a need to "get our party in order," a benign way of describing his looming nomination fight with former governor James S. Gilmore III, who has positioned himself as the conservative alternative to the moderate Davis. Morton C. Blackwell, a Virginia Republican National Committee member who backs Gilmore, has said Davis is "not a good fit for the conservative Republicans in Virginia."
Asked about the perception that he is too liberal, Davis said on WTOP: "In the Virginia Republican Party, it doesn't take much to be lefty."
He added that his 11 election wins in Virginia politics are an indication that he has support across the ideological spectrum.
Davis faces an important juncture next month when the Republican State Central Committee meets to decide whether to hold a convention or a primary to select a Senate nominee.
Because a convention is more likely to be top-heavy with conservative party activists sympathetic to Gilmore, Davis is pushing for a primary. He said that although he could defeat Gilmore at a convention, a primary would help boost his name recognition in his first statewide race.
He added that as a nominee he would bring a track record of success in rapidly moderating Northern Virginia. "Jim Gilmore would get wiped out in Northern Virginia," he said.
Davis also addressed the rapidly hardening conventional wisdom that Mark Warner would be difficult to beat in a general election. He said the Republican Party's principal problem, President Bush's unpopularity, will be eliminated next summer when there is a new presidential nominee. "The face of our party will change," he said, as will what he calls "the issue matrix."
"It becomes less a race about two individuals and [more about] differing philosophies," he said. Virginians will be able to focus more on whether they want Warner "to be Harry Reid's 52nd vote."
And Virginia, Davis added, "is a pretty red state outside of Northern Virginia."
If elected, Davis said he aspired to serve "in the tradition of John Warner," as a statesman unafraid to buck party orthodoxy.
"I've changed a lot in 28 years," Davis said, referring to his tenure in elective office. There was a time, he said, when "I might have said or done anything to get elected. I'm not that person anymore."
When pressed by Plotkin on the Iraq war, however, Davis was more squishy than statesmanlike. Asked about how the United States could best disengage from the conflict, Davis said: "Are we incentivizing the Iraqis to come together and do their share by staying there or leaving? In my own mind, I go back and forth on what's appropriate."

Heyyy! :) Here’s one of my latest sewing projects, I couldn’t wait to share it any longer. It has recently been my mother’s birthday and I wanted to make something special for her, something which is useful and still pretty.
It has been the first time I have been sewing a patchwork blanket and it was lots of work, it took me two days, but was lots of fun and totally worth the effort. My mother loves it and I’m super proud of the result.
I chose various kinds of floral fabrics in light colors and I made several rows in different sizes to make the top side of the blanket interesting and nice to look at. The back of the blanket is made of polyester so that my mother will be kept warm. :)
Have you ever been working on a huge patchwork project? :)

The Federal Reserve introduced Wednesday it would go away rates of interest unchanged, setting the stage for fee cuts to return and paving the way in which for reduction from the mixture of upper charges and inflation which have hit shoppers significantly exhausting.
Though Fed officers indicated as many as three cuts coming this yr, the tempo that they trim rates of interest goes to be a lot slower than the tempo at which they hiked, in accordance with Greg McBride, chief monetary analyst at Bankrate.
“Rates of interest took the elevator going up; they’ll take the steps coming down,” he stated.

Inflation has been a persistent downside because the Covid-19 pandemic, when value will increase soared to their highest ranges because the early Nineteen Eighties. The Fed responded with a sequence of rate of interest hikes that took its benchmark fee to its highest in additional than 22 years.
The federal funds fee, which is about by the U.S. central financial institution, is the rate of interest at which banks borrow and lend to 1 one other in a single day. Though that is not the speed shoppers pay, the Fed’s strikes nonetheless have an effect on the borrowing and financial savings charges they see day by day.
The spike in rates of interest triggered most shopper borrowing prices to skyrocket, placing many households below stress.
“Under the floor, 60% of households live paycheck to paycheck,” McBride stated. Whilst inflation eases, excessive costs proceed to pressure budgets and bank card debt continues to rise, he added.
Now, with fee cuts on the horizon, shoppers will see a few of their borrowing prices come down as properly, though deposit charges may even observe go well with.
From bank cards and mortgage charges to auto loans and financial savings accounts, here is a take a look at the place these charges may go within the yr forward.
Since most bank cards have a variable fee, there is a direct connection to the Fed’s benchmark, and due to the central financial institution’s fee hike cycle, the typical bank card fee rose from 16.34% in March 2022 to just about 21% in the present day — an all-time excessive.
Going ahead, annual share charges will begin to come down when the Fed cuts charges however even then, they are going to solely ease off extraordinarily excessive ranges. With just a few potential quarter-point cuts on deck, APRs would nonetheless be round 20% by the top of 2024, McBride famous.
“The bank card charges are going to imitate what the Fed does,” he stated, “and people rate of interest decreases are going to be modest.”
As a consequence of larger mortgage charges, 2023 was the least inexpensive homebuying yr in a minimum of 11 years, in accordance with a report from actual property firm Redfin.
Though 15- and 30-year mortgage charges are mounted, and tied to Treasury yields and the financial system, anybody searching for a brand new residence has misplaced appreciable buying energy, partly due to inflation and the Fed’s coverage strikes.
However charges are already considerably decrease since hitting 8% in October. Now, the typical fee for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage is 6.9%, up from 4.4% when the Fed began elevating charges in March 2022 and three.27% on the finish of 2021, in accordance with Bankrate.
Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae, expects mortgage charges will dip under 6% in 2024 however is not going to return to their pandemic-era lows, which is little comfort for would-be homebuyers.
“We do not see the affordability downside solved till provide will increase considerably, rates of interest come down and actual incomes rise,” he stated. “The mixture of these issues want to maneuver collectively over time. It is not going to be sudden.”
Regardless that auto loans are mounted, shoppers are more and more dealing with month-to-month funds that they will barely afford resulting from larger car costs and elevated rates of interest on new loans.
The common fee on a five-year new automobile mortgage is now greater than 7%, up from 4% when the Fed began elevating charges, in accordance with Edmunds. Nevertheless, fee cuts from the Fed will take a few of the edge off the rising price of financing a automobile — probably bringing charges under 7% — helped partly by competitors between lenders and extra incentives available in the market.
“There are some very encouraging indicators as we kick off 2024,” stated Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds’ head of insights.
“Incentives are slowly coming again as stock improves,” she stated, and “most shoppers are on the lookout for low APRs with longer mortgage phrases, so the expansion in these loans is useful to lure shoppers who’ve been sitting out resulting from opposed financing and pricing circumstances.”
Whereas the central financial institution has no direct affect on deposit charges, the yields are typically correlated to adjustments within the goal federal funds fee.
Because of this, top-yielding on-line financial savings account charges have made important strikes and at the moment are paying greater than 5% — the most savers have been in a position to earn in almost twenty years — up from round 1% in 2022, in accordance with Bankrate.
Though these charges have probably maxed out, “it is going to be one other good yr for savers even when we do see charges come down,” McBride stated. In keeping with his forecast, the highest-yielding presents in the marketplace will nonetheless be at 4.45% by year-end.
Now’s the time to lock in certificates of deposit, particularly maturities longer than one yr, he suggested. “CD yields have peaked and have begun to drag again so there is no such thing as a benefit to ready.”
Presently, one-year CDs are averaging 1.75% however top-yielding CD charges pay over 5%, nearly as good or higher than a high-yield financial savings account.

The world’s two biggest child nutrition programmes – the ICDS or Integrated Child Development Scheme and the Mid-Day Meal (MDM) programme – run by the Indian government suffered a severe jolt in March and April this year as foodgrain allocated for them was not made available during the sudden, ill-conceived lockdown that began on March 24 midnight.
The offtake of foodgrain (rice, wheat and coarse grains) plummeted from 335,000 tonnes to just 109,000 tonnes for the Mid-Day Meal programme, which currently feeds an estimated 12 crore children studying in classes 1-8. As can be seen in the chart below, the mid-day meal offtake reduced to nearly a third of what it was in the same period last year.
For the nutrition programme run by anganwadi centres under the ICDS, foodgrain offtake dipped from 238,000 tonnes last year (March and April) to a mere 97,000 tonnes this year in the same two months. These anganwadi centres are estimated to feed about 14 crore children in the age group 0-6 years. The ICDS also provides supplementary nutrition to pregnant and lactating mothers and adolescent girls, both being chronic sufferers of malnutrition and anaemia.
Data for offtake is available in the monthly Food Grain Bulletin issued by the department of food and public distribution.
Both programmes form a vital link in providing nutrition to children in India, where over a third of those under five years are underweight and over half of them suffer from anaemia, as reported in the last National Family & Health Survey (NFHS).
The break in nutrition provision for these children would have very serious consequences for their future mental and physical growth, especially at a time when their parents, too, would have lost their earnings in the lockdown.
What Went Wrong
Foodgrain is allocated from the central pool, which is established by procurement of foodgrains over the year by government agencies. In April this year, 570 lakh tonnes of foodgrains were held in stock by the government. This increased to 644 lakh tonnes in May and then to 834 lakh tonnes in June (as of date), according to the department of food and public distribution. These are record levels of foodgrain stocks.
These foodgrain stocks are utilised to fulfil the country’s food requirement through the Public Distribution System or PDS as well as certain key welfare schemes like ICDS and MDM.
Once the foodgrain is allocated by the Central government, it is transported to various states that do not have the requisite grain in their own stock. Then it is distributed through various channels to thousands of fair price shops, as also to the anganwadis and schools.
It was this complex logistical exercise of making available the foodgrain to consumers that the Central government failed to plan out before suddenly declaring the lockdown in March. Since the railways were also shut down and road transport prohibited, grain could not be transported to the designated places. No clear directions were issued by the Central government on how these programmes are to be implemented, leaving the employees as well as millions of children in the lurch.
Scheme Workers Too Suffered
A tragic spin-off in this tale of neglect is the distress faced by over 25 lakh anganwadi workers and helpers and over 29 lakh cooks/helpers who were doing the actual ground work in these two massive programmes. Many of them were diverted to other work – like surveys, looking after quarantine centres, help implement the lockdown measures and such like.
Their earnings also took a major blow, besides being exposed to the dreaded virus. Most of them worked in the pandemic-related functions without adequate protective gear. Many have not received their meagre wages and are struggling to survive in these harsh conditions.
Long List of Follies
This obvious error or act of omission joins the long list of such follies and neglect of ground realities that the Narendra Modi government has done while going in for the dramatic “shock and awe” lockdown.
Other follies in this list include gross neglect of the fact that the rabi harvest was standing in the fields (harvesting was allowed after three days of lockdown), neglect of the plight of migrant workers who were stranded without earnings in distant cities and many were forced to walk back hundreds of kilometres, neglect of workers, both industrial and agricultural, who were suddenly deprived of earnings and faced starvation, neglect of the vast army of service sector employees, mainly in the urban areas who also lost their jobs and earnings, stopping of routine healthcare services including immunisation programmes, stopping of the rural job guarantee scheme (MGNREGS) and so on.
But the cut-back in such essential services, such as infant nutrition programme and the MDM programme is an irreversible damage to a whole generation of children. Although on paper the government declared that meals or dry rations would be provided at homes of the children, most state governments were unable to do so, barring a few exceptions like Kerala and some others.

A man who was central to the welfare rights movement
August 31, 2001 | Page 4
Dear Socialist Worker,
I was saddened to read about the death of Richard Cloward on August 23. Cloward, along with his wife, Francis Fox Piven, not only wrote some excellent books about poor peoples' struggles, but they were instrumental in helping to build the welfare rights movement in the 1960s.
When the Clinton administration began its assault on America's poor and called it "welfare reform," I turned to Cloward and Piven's Regulating the Poor and Poor Peoples' Movements to read about how people fought to win welfare rights in the first place.
When rats and trash overran Lower East Side tenements in New York City, the developing movement brought its outrage to City Hall and dumped the filth and rodents right there on the steps.
When the government concluded that people on welfare were too lazy to work, Cloward and Piven used their research to show that racist and stupid policies were the real obstacles to poor peoples' ability to find work.
I called Professor Cloward when friends and I were organizing protests against the welfare cuts a few years ago in New York City. He was frustrated about the destruction of programs that he and thousands had fought for--but he wasn't defeated.
When asked to speak at teach-ins and rallies, he and Professor Piven always made themselves available and encouraged a new generation of activists to join the fight.
Now that the five-year deadline on welfare recipients has arrived and the recession is plunging more into poverty, I hope that more than a few new activists spend time reading some of his books.

The Maori Party says it needs to look very closely at the detail of proposed changes to the Resource Management Act before considering which way it will vote on it.
The Government has outlined plans to overhaul the RMA.
The Maori Party said it will always prioritise Kaitiakitanga or guardianship of the country's natural resources ahead of commercial development.
Co-Leader, Marama Fox said it wants in-depth, detailed talks with the Government on any planned changes before it decides its position.
She said a vote to pass the legislation with a majority of only one vote, that of the Act Party, is not the way to go because it is such significant legislation and there needs to be extensive talks involving many people.
Ms Fox said the underlying message from her party is that the sanctity of the environment is upheld and that any economic benefits to the country are not placed higher than the cleanliness of rivers and streams.
She said it does not appear there will be changes to Section 8 of the Act which covers consultation with iwi and that is pleasing.

Below you will find various knowledge resource for influenza vaccine. These resources will be useful for those professionals working within public health sector as well as people interested in knowing more about seasonal influenza vaccine.
Knowledge Resources for Influenza Vaccine
Scientific and Technical Material
- Read complete TAG Report for 2004
The Region has experienced success with regard to routine vaccine use in older adults, chronically ill or immunodeficient individuals, health professionals, pregnant women, and, more recently, children aged ≤23 months. Studies on disease burden, cost- effectiveness, and vaccine impact are being conducted to assist decision-makers on the introduction of new vaccines and maintenance of routine immunization at the national level.
- Countries should establish and strengthen epidemiological surveillance of influenza and other acute respiratory infections to determine the characteristics of virus circulation in the countries. This recommendation is particularly important in tropical areas where more information is needed to understand the pattern of viral circulation. Gathered information will guide adequate vaccine formulation appropriate timing for vaccine administration; it will also allow countries to better measure the impact of the intervention.
- PAHO recommends that older adults, chronically ill individuals, immunodeficient populations, health professionals, pregnant women, and children aged 6-23 months be vaccinated; priority should be given to people aged ≥60 years.
- Countries should conduct studies that document the disease burden and economic impact of annual influenza epidemics. It is anticipated that results will support influenza immunization policies within the context of other national health priorities.
- All the countries of the Region should develop plans, in accordance with WHO guidelines, to respond to an influenza pandemic. The recent epizootic in Asia, with the occurrence of human cases of avian flu, characterized by high case-fatality rate, demonstrated the need for countries to be prepared for a possible pandemic.
- To help countries deal with the challenges related to influenza vaccine, PAHO should convene a group to consider issues of vaccine development, production, and procurement, and to make recommendations.
- Read complete TAG Report for 2006
Progress has been made in introducing influenza vaccination in the Region. The immunization of children aged 6-23 months has been introduced in 8 countries. Three additional countries are vaccinating children aged <5 years with high risk conditions.
- All countries must strengthen the surveillance system to determine the burden of influenza, the cost-effectiveness of introducing influenza vaccine, and its impact, and to decide on the best vaccination strategy to use and when, particularly in tropical areas.
- PAHO should provide and disseminate guidelines on the use of the vaccine to countries.
- TAG recommends that all countries establish a seasonal influenza vaccination policy that aims to vaccinate with seasonal influenza vaccine children aged 6-23 months, health care workers, chronically ill individuals, and elderly adults.
- Countries using the vaccine should generate vaccination coverage data and document experiences and lessons learned from targeting high-risk groups. This will be useful for countries newly introducing the vaccine and in the event of a pandemic.
- PAHO should continue to promote mechanisms for the transfer of technology to increase Regional capacities in vaccine production and keep track of global supply.
- Read complete TAG Report for 2011
Progress continues to be made in the introduction of seasonal influenza vaccine in the Region. As of 2010, 39 countries and territories of the 45, or are using the vaccine in the public sector. This includes 36 countries and territories that vaccinate the elderly, 34 vaccinate heath care workers, 29 vaccinate children, 26 vaccinate persons with chronic diseases, and 17 vaccinate pregnant women.
- Ensure that pandemic preparedness plans include the vaccination component as an integral part of the response measures.
- Reiterate previous recommendations that countries vaccinate older adults, children those with underlying conditions, and healthcare workers. Because of the vulnerability of pregnant women to complications from influenza infection, TAG urges countries to increase vaccine uptake of pregnant women.
- Encourage countries to strengthen their risk communication efforts and to engage scientific/professional organizations and societies in order to reach target populations.
- Urge countries to document influenza vaccination coverage in high-risk populations. As more countries in the Region are introducing influenza vaccine, it becomes more important to assess the impact of influenza and conduct vaccine effectiveness studies in high-risk populations.
- PAHO should continue to promote the transfer of technology for influenza vaccine production in the Region, in order to increase its availability.
- Read complete TAG Report for 2013
The Region of the Americas has made considerable strides in the introduction of the seasonal influenza vaccine. Among the main criteria used by the countries are TAG and WHO recommendations, and cost/effectiveness studies in countries such as Colombia and Costa Rica, among others.
- TAG reiterates its and SAGE's previous recommendations on the vaccination of high risk groups against seasonal influenza, with special emphasis on pregnant women. Due to the vulnerability of pregnant women to complications from influenza infection, countries should strengthen vaccination of pregnant women.
- Countries should increase vaccination coverage in healthcare workers and identify the reasons for non-vaccination in this group in order to try to reduce these obstacles.
- Countries should improve the quality of coverage data on the influenza vaccine in high-risk populations, including the standardization of denominators.
- TAG encourages countries to continue evaluating the effectiveness and impact of the vaccine, which entails an effort to strengthen epidemiological surveillance, as well as immunization and laboratory programs.
- Read complete TAG Report for 2014
The Region of the Americas has made considerable strides in the introduction of the seasonal influenza vaccine. By 2013, 40 of the 45 countries and territories of the Americas were using the seasonal influenza vaccine in the public sector to protect one or more risk groups. This includes 40 countries and territories that vaccinate the elderly, 39 that vaccinate health workers, 30 that vaccinate children (5 of them only children with chronic diseases), and 36 that vaccinate adults with chronic diseases. Great progress has been made in the vaccination of pregnant women, growing from 7 countries in 2008 to 26 countries in 2013.
- TAG notes the progress made in influenza vaccine use and urges countries to expand the use of this vaccine and achieve higher coverage rates, in line with previous TAG and SAGE recommendations with an emphasis on pregnant women and health care workers.
- The TAG applauds the formation and progress of the Network for Evaluation of Influenza Vaccine
Effectiveness (REVELAC-i) and encourages Latin American and Caribbean countries to continue to produce
evidence on the performance and impact of the influenza vaccine; and to strengthen the integration among
immunization, epidemiology, and laboratory.
- PAHO should support the continued strengthening of influenza surveillance and should analyze and present
the data by geographical areas within countries, particularly in larger countries where the influenza
epidemiology and seasonality varies by region.
- PAHO should continue to provide guidance to countries on choosing the most adequate vaccine for their epidemiological and contextual situation.
- Read complete TAG Report for 2015
There is considerable use of seasonal influenza vaccines in the Americas. As of 2014, 40 out of 44 countries/territories in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have policies for influenza vaccination that reflect the most recent World Health Organization and TAG recommendations. Vaccination policies target most frequently healthcare workers and the elderly (in 38 countries), followed by individuals with chronic conditions (in 35 countries), pregnant women (in 27 countries) and healthy children (in 25 countries) or children suffering chronic conditions (in 5 countries). It is worth noting that vaccination of pregnant women has substantially increased, with seven countries targeting this group in 2008 to 27 in 2014. Vaccination coverage estimates reported in the region vary widely reflecting difficulties related to data quality and completeness, absence of precise denominators for vaccine coverage estimation and other operational challenges to completing vaccination schemes among vaccine-naïve children <9 years.
- TAG recognizes the progress of countries in strengthening influenza surveillance and expanding vaccine use across the region.
- TAG also congratulates countries on making evidence-based changes to their vaccination policies, including changes regarding timing of influenza vaccination programs and most appropriate vaccine formulation.
- TAG urges countries to continue generating evidence on disease burden, seasonality of influenza virus circulation, vaccine effectiveness and impact, using national data sources and appropriate methods.
- TAG also recommends continuing the current strategies in place, vaccinating intensively prior to the peak of highest burden of influenza illness, optimally reaching very high vaccination coverage through a single campaign. Influenza vaccine should then continue to be offered to the unvaccinated through the routine health services throughout the influenza season.
- TAG recommends that large countries carry out sub-regional seasonality analyses or stratify analyses by microclimates in order to inform vaccine use as needed.

Look for distinguishing factors while investing in new schemes
Read in: 4mins, Published On , 21 Sep 2017 By Times Of India
For a long time__thanks to those initial public offers (IPOs) which, over the years, gave huge returns__mutual fund investors too thought that investing in new fund offers could be highly rewarding. This idea got a further boost from investors’ reluctance to invest in mutual fund schemes with high net asset values (NAVs). However, the idea that investing in NFOs is always better than investing in existing MF schemes even if the NAV is high, is a myth. The absolute NAV of a MF scheme should not matter when it comes to whether it is a good fund or not. An NFO at Rs 10 per unit may not necessarily be cheap. The units are so priced because it is just starting out and has no investments to gain or lose from, financial planners say.
SO WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR SELECTING TO INVEST IN AN NFO
The return potential from any given NFO should be the starting point for investing in an MF scheme. Although a fund’s track record of returns and also the quality of its portfolio matter while deciding to invest in a fund, these factors, however, do not hold good for NFOs. The next factor to look at is the fund manager’s track record and his/her ability in recent years to generate consistent returns, financial planners said.
Another factor to look at is if the NFO is offering any new idea to invest in. Check with other existing funds in the market to distinguish the fund open for an NFO for that new idea that no other fund offers. Seen another way, an NFO could offer a unique edge to your overall portfolio that no other fund could possibly offer.
Usually Mutual Funds, especially which invest in stocks, are financial products for long term investing. So in an equity NFO, look for the long term propositions that the scheme has to offer. Also for investing in NFOs look at the track record of the fund house that is launching the NFO, in facilitating long term investing, financial planners said.
Another distinguishing factor to invest in an NFO could be lower cost to the investor. To compete with existing MF schemes with similar ideas or themes, an NFO from a fund house may decide to charge a lower fee to its incoming investors. And since a lower cost adds up to the eventual returns to investors, the returns could be higher, which could be a compelling reason to invest in the new fund.
A CASE FOR INVESTING IN CLOSED-ENDED FUNDS
In India, when we talk about Mutual Funds, usually we think about those schemes units of which could be bought and sold easily, and at a price which is almost equal to the NAV. These are called open-ended funds.
However, there is also a cousin of open-ended funds, called closed-ended funds which are traded on the exchanges. A closed-ended scheme is one in which entry and exits of investors by selling directly to the fund house, like in open-ended funds, is not allowed. Here investors invest in the fund when it’s open for subscription (usually for a few days) and then no new investors are allowed for the duration of the fund (which is usually a few years). The units are, however, listed and traded on the exchange. So investors looking for liquidity, that is looking to sell and get some cash out for whatever reason, could sell on the exchange to redeem their units. However, at times closed-ended funds trade at a discount to the NAV.
Financial planners and advisors says that an investor could look at investing in closed-ended funds only when they have some extra funds that they would not need at least for the duration of the fund. If they need money in the interim and intends to sell his/her units, they may get a price that is at a discount to the NAV.
Another reason for investing in closed-ended funds could be if the fund offers some new idea for investing that may not be available in the existing bouquet of funds.
Since closed-ended funds do not allow new investors after the initial phase, the fund manager has more independence to invest and hold his/her portfolio even if the markets witness volatility. These funds also do not witness any volatility due to any large redemption, something that open ended funds may witness.
Some advisors also say that if one is willing to buy units of closed ended funds from the market, which is trading at a discount, and then holds it till its maturity, there is a high chance of realising profits higher than what the market would have offered.

There may not be high expectations for the New York Giants in 2020. Football Outsiders, though, hints at a bright future by listing the Giants No. 2 in a ranking of NFL teams by under-25 talent [ESPN+ subscribers only].
Here is some of what Football Outsiders said about the Giants’ under-25 players:
Blue-chip players: Will Hernandez, LG; Saquon Barkley, RB; Daniel Jones, QB; Dexter Lawrence, DT; Andrew Thomas, OT
GM Dave Gettleman inherited a three-win Giants team with the No. 2 pick in 2018, made a slew of trades and acquisitions in opposition to analytics, and earned two more top-six picks on the heels of five- and four-win seasons. And yet, Gettleman could have the last laugh. He might not have maximized his return on investment in Saquon Barkley and Dexter Lawrence at their draft positions in the first round. But Barkley again broke a tackle on more than one-fifth of his touches in 2019 and looks like a generational running back at still just 23 years old. And with 18 hurries in his rookie season, Lawrence showed surprising versatility for a player who looks the part of an old-school run-stopper.
Still, the success or failure of this promising Giants roster will rest on the shoulders of quarterback Daniel Jones. After a modestly productive college career, Jones was the biggest surprise of Gettleman’s many surprising draft picks at sixth overall in 2019, nine spots ahead of Dwayne Haskins who many scouts preferred. But at least compared to the historically inefficient Haskins, Jones enjoyed a successful rookie season ...
And while the Odell Beckham trade subtracted a young, talented receiver who could have helped Jones reach his potential, Gettleman has since added much more talent around his franchise quarterback. That starts on the offensive line ... And at receiver, fifth-round sophomore Darius Slayton might not replace Beckham, but his 9.6% DVOA rookie season showcased badly needed efficiency and field-stretching ...
The Giants’ budding defensive talent could take a hit pending the fallout of cornerback DeAndre Baker’s criminal charges. Still, the team has several young assets on that side of the ball, especially at safety where Julian Love’s outstanding substitute play in late 2019 leaves the team with an extra option at the position with Jabrill Peppers poised to return healthy and second-round steal Xavier McKinney poised to start immediately in his rookie season.
I wrote the other day that the Giants finally have both feet planted in a new era that has the franchise pointed toward what will hopefully be a brighter future. That’s where a franchise that has gone a miserable 12-36 over the past three season has to be.
The idea that Gettleman has perhaps not maximized his return on investment in every instance is one I have agreed with. Apparently, I am on the only who believes that despite those arguable missed opportunities and an apparent misstep with Baker the Giants have put in in place an impressive young nucleus. Look at the roster — a hefty percentage of their key players are on their first NFL contracts.
It’s reason to be optimistic. If Jones is the right quarterback, Joe Judge the right coach, and the Giants keep adding solid young talent things will get better in East Rutherford.
No. 1 on the list, incidentally, is the Baltimore Ravens.


First, Laverne Cox was mistaken for Beyoncé on the US Open. Now, two different legends have been blended up.
The web had a subject day after former tennis professional and analyst Mary Carillo recognized Dionne Warwick, who was sitting within the stands, as Gladys Knight. Carillo’s colleague, Chanda Rubin, additionally repeated the error.
Each singers have been in attendance to look at Serena Williams on Wednesday – Warwick, who has turn out to be fairly the Twitter star, poked some enjoyable on the mix-up.
“Hi, I’m Gladys Knight… and instead of taking that midnight train to Georgia, I won’t walk on by but will say a little prayer for you,” she tweeted, together with a laughing emoji and a impartial face emoji.
In fact she was evoking Knight’s hit with the Pips, “Midnight Train to Georgia,” in addition to two of her personal – “Walk On By” and “I Say a Little Prayer.”
Knight additionally didn’t appear bothered, tweeting, “Dionne and I have been sisters for a long time and I hope she is as honored to be mistaken for me as I would be her.”
“I’m sure it was an honest mistake,” Knight wrote. “It was a blessing to be in the house to see Serena’s greatness.”
Rubin additionally tweeted about it, writing in response to a Twitter consumer who mentioned the error was was “unacceptable.”
“Too bad I was initially looking at the court (where Auntie Gladys was in the stands) and not our program monitor that showed Ms. Dionne… mistake was immediately corrected,” Rubin tweeted.


Citing an anonymous tipster, MacRumors has shared a photo of a dummy unit in silver hue reportedly pertaining to the Apple iPhone 7.
Apple’s infamous “white antenna lines” have been a cringe-worthy aspect of the iPhones for a long time now. Going by the leaked dummy unit, Apple has finally got rid of those dull lines. Every year, we hear rumors that the tech giant will be removing those lines. But this time around, the dummy photo clearly shows that Apple heeded to the customer feedback.
To top it off, the same dummy unit photo shows a Smart Connector dock at the bottom of the smartphone. Moving to the camera, the photo indicates that Apple could be using a “flush design” specific to the primary camera of the iPhone 7. The terminology flush design translates to having no protrusion of the camera unit.
Past rumors suggested that the 3.5 mm headphone jack will not be part of the upcoming device. Removal of this headphone jack helps Apple in making the handset waterproof, Phone Arena noted. This also indirectly helps in giving more space to accommodate a bigger battery unit, which is another feature Apple fans complain about.
Moving on to other rumored configurations, the iPhone 7 will reportedly come powered by a faster TSMC-made A10 chipset and it will carry an OLED-based display panel. This handset is believed to feature a touch-sensitive home button, along with water- and dust-proofed exterior.
Very recently, a schematic diagram of the Apple iPhone 7 surfaced and as rumored earlier, the exterior design looked similar to the iPhone 6. While Apple CEO Tim Cook said the next-generation iPhone will have futuristic features, credible analyst Ming-Chi Kuo noted that the iPhone 6s successor will not come with many "attractive selling points," Phone Arena noted.

The brash, basketball-loving star of "Laverne and Shirley" leaves in her wake a strange, brazen legacy.
James Bond has his shaken martini. Jeff Lebowski, his white Russian. Penny Marshall's signature drink? Pepsi and milk. Together. A little off, but so was Marshall.
The actress and filmmaker, who passed away at the age of 75 on Monday from complications related to diabetes, had the type of varied career in Hollywood that few achieve. She took a 5-episode run as Laverne DeFazio on "Happy Days" in 1975 and turned herself into a household name as the lead in "Laverne and Shirley." Marshall's face may be most closely associated with her tough-talking, deadpan performance as Laverne, but the choices she made after the end of that series are what define her legacy.
Thank you, Penny Marshall. For the trails you blazed. The laughs you gave. The hearts you warmed. https://t.co/7qPKJa6ApH— Ava DuVernay (@Ava DuVernay) 1545160510.0
Marshall took a short-lived director's role on "Laverne and Shirley" and turned it into a career. With "Big," in 1988, she became the first female director to gross more than $100 million at the box office. In 1990, she pivoted deftly from a zany, body-swapping comedy to the true life medical drama "Awakenings," which earned three Oscar nominations.
Despite her tough-talking onscreen persona, Marshall was often plagued with anxiety, and interviews with her were laden with self-deprecation, especially when the subject was directing.
"I was scared stiff," she told the Los Angeles Times in 1986. "I was afraid to wield power. I didn't think I knew enough to wield it. I kept saying, 'I want to lie down. I'm only a girl.'"

Still, Marshall knew that being "only a girl" was nothing to underestimate and proved as much with the success 1992's "A League of Their Own." This is the same unassuming, quiet confidence that hums in the background of each of her films. Perhaps a little sentimental (she once confessed a proclivity for making "nice films"), Marshall's movies didn't have one single, governing style. What they did have behind the camera was her magnanimous instincts and a generosity to her subjects. Success, to Marshall, was not spelled in box office returns, but in recognizing the women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League or humanizing patients with degenerative brain disease.
Of course Marshall wasn't all schmaltz and bubblegum like her films and characters. She was brash. She despised chastity and spoke publicly about the consequences of "pity sex." She wasn't shy about being cast as the "homely" girl, and her favorite sport was basketball because she liked "guys with as little clothing as possible." A real life Marla Hooch, one of her mottos was, "Don't be ashamed of your talents."
Marshall and her career, much like her favorite drink, are difficult to define. A little sweet, a little sour, but with a taste that leaves an impression.
