The TV show Pehredaar Piya Ki has been in controversies because of its strange plot and theme!
The daily soap Pehredaar Piya Ki has been inviting flak because of its strange theme. The show features a love interest story between a 9-year old boy and an 18-year old girl! In the recent developments of the show, the little boy has become the young lady’s husband. But the makers did not stop there and are also showing a honeymoon sequence between the two.
The daily soap is definitely not something that is going very well with the people. In fact, celebs like Karan Wahi and Gaurav Gera have already expressed their disappointment on the show. While Karan had made an Instagram post expressing his opinion, Gaurav had made fun of the show by posting a hilarious video.
Many people are finding the show very misleading for the society and hence the show has fallen into a trouble. An online petition has been started by a girl named Mansi Jain on the website change.org for banning the show.
The petition gained around 50,000 plus supporters within 2 days. And the plea to ban the show has now reached the central minister Smriti Irani.
The online petition reads, “Pehredar piya ki. – A 10-year-old impressionable little kid(” piyaa”) caressing and stalking a lady who’s more than double his age and filling sindoor in her “maang” is being telecasted at prime time -8:30pm on Sony. (Family time) It is to be devoured by the entire Nation. Imagine the kind of influence it will steadily and perpetually infuse in the viewers mindset. We want a ban on the serial. We do not want our kids to be influenced by such tv serials. Join us in signing the petition to ban this serial.”
Yesterday, the female lead of the show, Tejaswi Prakash had defended her show saying that she finds it progressive. She even compared it to the popular English series Game Of Thrones!
The social networking site Twitter has been flooded with reactions from the people. Some of them are in support of the show, while most of the people are against it. People have even made fun of the comparison made between PPP and GOT!
Check out some of the Twitter reactions here…

Shell Uses Cow Dung to Power German Trucks, Cut CO2
[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]
Trucks in Germany could soon be running on fuel that’s made partly from manure at one of Europe’s biggest oil refineries.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc is aiming to produce liquefied natural gas with a bio-component for use in heavy vehicles within about two years. Trucks using the fuel can travel for 1,500 kilometers without refilling, according to Shell, which will make the new product at Rheinland, the biggest oil-processing complex in Germany.
Shell’s move is among initiatives aimed at cutting carbon emissions at the Rheinland site, which includes the Godorf plant where the “carbon-neutral” LNG will be made. Its sister facility, Wesseling, was the first European refinery to start production of green hydrogen last year, albeit on a small scale. Shell plans to stop processing crude at Wesseling from 2025.
“LNG has one of the most energy-intensive processes across the oil and gas sector,” said Seyhan Turan, director of Altass Consulting, whose clients include the European Commission and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. “Biomethane LNG is perfect for heavy-duty vehicles and maritime transport.”
Biomethane can we made from food waste or other organic matter. Shell said it will use manure that would otherwise release methane if left to rot in the farmyard.
Shell’s idea is to mix it with fuel made from natural gas, resulting in a carbon-neutral product. The company is now looking at either buying or building biomethane plants, it said. Chevron Corp. announced plans to build similar plants with a partner earlier this year.
The process of making biomethane will also usually yield carbon which could be sold to industrial clients, according to Turan. Shell didn’t reply to an email asking whether that’s the case.

During his speech on the 9th of June at the Royal Cornwall Show, the Secretary of State announced the opening of applications for the Farming Investment Fund, Adding Value. This £ 30 million fund will enable farmers in England to purchase equipment to process, diversify and add value to their products after they have been harvested or reared. This could include premises and equipment for the preparation or processing of agricultural produce, or equipment such as vending machines and display facilities for selling food direct to customers. The funding will be offered in sums between £25,000 and £300,000. More information is available on the Future Farming blog.
It has also been announced that the first round of the new Slurry Infrastructure grants, worth £13 million, will open later this autumn. These new grants will help livestock farmers in England upgrade their slurry storage and nutrient management systems and, in so doing, help reduce water and air pollution from slurry. Guidance for applicants is now available on GOV.UK and further details have also been released in our blog post.
A press release has also been issued on the subjects above.
Also on the 9th of June, Minister Churchill was in attendance at the Cereals show where she spoke about the Farming Innovation Programme. An additional £ 2.5 million will be put towards the Feasibility Projects competition, bringing its total budget to £8 million. Part of the flagship Farming Innovation Programme, which funds research and innovation in the sector, this competition is funding over 20 projects covering a range of issues, from developing sustainable low-impact fertiliser by recycling residues from agricultural waste to proposals to detect early lameness in cattle.
An announcement has also been made by UK Research and Innovation, Defra’s delivery partner for the Programme. More information on the winning projects will be shared on the FFCP Blog in the coming days. Further details, lines to take and Q&A documents are available for all the schemes mentioned above.
Stay in the loop with Land App’s Community page this summer. We’ll keep you updated with all the latest news, insights and opportunities from across the sector so that you remain ahead of the game.

I felt bold one year ago when I owned up to hating SMART goals. I chucked the whole idea and committed instead to sitting down everyday with my intentions for the year. So how’d it work out? Is it worth trying, or was my 2010 a failed attempt that will send me scurrying back to Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timebound?
2010: Intentions and Results
I honour my body and my health. I moved to a house with a kitchen that makes me want to cook healthy food. I alternated running, walking, and yoga. Best of all, I get enough sleep all the time. I’m learning that the more I embrace my rhythms, rather than fight them, the healthier I am all around.
I am confident that I am on track to eliminate debt and generate wealth. I tracked what I earned and spent, and I asked for and heeded advice. I stopped giving away my labour and talent for free. I learned to say “no” to work I didn’t want, and I noticed that every time I did say “no”, another opportunity opened up. Then some magic happened too, and I’m beginning 2011 with a bank account balance that fills me with relief rather than stress.
I am open to possibilities, and I am grounded in my own focus. I am learning to say a true yes and a true no: a true yes to possibilities that resonate with my own focus, and a true no to possibilities that do not. I continue to learn this lesson.
I am successful and I am making valuable change in people’s lives. You don’t have to take my word for it–you can read what my profiled clients have to say.
I am open to friendships and I nourish my friendships. I am learning to practice generosity. I have nourished some friendships this year while neglecting others. I have been outlandishly generous one moment, and stingy and hoarding the next. But throughout the year, this intention kept bringing me back to how I want to be, and encouraging me to keep trying.
I show my family, through my actions and my words, that I love them. I now live just three blocks away from my sister and her daughter. My sister and I ran together three mornings a week during the summer, and my niece spent part of both her summer and winter vacations hanging out with me full-time. I skype my parents a few times a week, and send my mom postcards. And I’m now engaged in the creative act of a whole new family (see “I can love and be loved” below).
I recognize my habits and patterns and actively experiment with new ways of being. Some of the things I actively experimented with: letting go of the outcome, abandoning my schedule, not writing things on lists, answering fewer emails, relinquishing the need to be right, decisions that came from courage rather than fear.
I stand, speak, and act with confidence. After a year of paying attention to confidence, I’ve made some progress: when asked about my work, I now answer confidently and proudly that I am a life coach and a therapist, and I believe whole-heartedly in what I do. I step forward more readily with offers of my work, and I am quicker to celebrate my successes with others rather than hiding my light under a bushel.
I make time to create. I created two homes I love, rewrote a website, finished writing a book, and each month made visioning dreamboards.
I value peace and beauty. I wrote this intention as a reminder to myself that setting up surroundings that I love, spending time looking at leaves on the trees, and sitting in silence are all important and nourishing for me. A wellspring from which everything else is drawn.
I can love and be loved. This intention was scary to write. It was scary to think. It was especially scary to post on a blog. Deep down, are we not all a little bit afraid of being unlovable? And perhaps insecure about our ability to give love? In writing it, I had no inkling that come September I would marry the love of my life. I could not have foreseen that. But I could put out the intention to love and be loved, and, magically, it happened.
2011: What Intentions Will You Make?
Whether you wish to reflect, to set goals, to harness intentions, or just to enjoy excellent company, you are invited to Two Hours of Perspective on January 22, an event I host specifically to create the time and space for people to look back on the year that is past, and gather focus and groundedness for the year to come.
What results might you be celebrating in January 2012?
Like what you’re reading? There’s more where that came from!
I’d love to have you join me by signing up for Ready for Change news.

If you are going to be doing any type of compounding you really need something more than just a random orbit machine. I have a Makita B06040 which is a random orbit but also has a forced circular mode. The circular mode still has a bit of jiggle to it so it is more forgiving than a true circular. If you are just looking for a machine to polish you cant beat the Porter Cable 7424. Neither machine is cheap. The Makita is substantially more.

As a student at an elite university, I am no stranger to the term “Black excellence.” Every time one of my classmates or I accomplish something new; it’s not rare to see the phrase in the comments section on Instagram and Facebook. Many would think that as I am pursuing higher education I would take pride in the phrase, but on the contrary, I can’t help but cringe every time I hear it. This overwhelming belief that I am somehow better than the average Black woman because I am soon to have a college degree not only saddens me but it also ignores underlying privilege. To me, it’s all aimless competition. So many times we hear arguments defending Black elites, saying that they deserve to be considered Black and are not sellouts and shouldn’t be told that they “talk white.” But not nearly as much energy is devoted to being there for Black people–specifically women–who live on the other side of the train tracks.
We don’t give the Shaniqua’s of the world enough recognition. Between name and outfit shaming, hairstyle mocking and the everyday tasteless comparisons to more worthy women, the hood rats of the world not only have to deal with institutional inequalities, but sloppy respectability politics as well. Black women have to deal with a lot. Racism and sexism alone are enough to disturb the best of us. However, lower income Black women have to deal with classism on top of that. This means being teased for shopping at Rainbow and Forman Mills instead of Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. This means hurtful weave jokes, too. And ultimately, this means that we are not here for our women like we may believe we are.
When a Black woman with a unique name gets turned down from a job prospect, we as a community tend to blame the woman, instead of the racist practices that judge someone’s work ability by the distance their name has from Becky or Sarah. When a Black woman decides to wear brightly colored hair, she is ridiculed and assumed to be uneducated. Societies beauty standards continuously put Black women at the bottom of the totem pole, never being uplifted to newer heights. We tend to look past the fact that “ghetto” women, just as everyone else, are multi-faceted and complex beings, not one-dimensional caricatures to be humiliated for variance from the status quo.
And what makes a Black woman “worthy,” anyway? Her ability to code switch? The amount of money she makes in an hour? The size of the house she lives in? These narratives are beyond tired and are ready to retire to the land of nonsense.
Black elite or the “talented tenth” as Du Bois coined, do a lot every day, both consciously and subconsciously, to distance themselves from being seen as ghetto. The respectability politics ingrained in these actions causes us to ignore bigger themes of marginalization by race, gender, and in this case, class. And for what? Corporate America still sees Black as Black; no matter where you come from or how you speak or what your hair looks like. Respectability politics are backwards and have no place in our fight for social justice. To share a post on Facebook about Black representation in the STEM field, yet turn around and put down your cousin who speaks African American Vernacular English (AAVE), shows just how much “justice” you actually want.
Newsflash: before we decriminalize Blackness, lets take a step towards decriminalizing ghettoness. Speaking traditional English and having a degree makes someone no better than anyone else. I attend a prestigious institution because I had the resources and privileges–going to a good school where there were opportunities for college prep–to help me get there. Not because my brain functions any better than the woman working at McDonald’s. In other words, it’s still misogynistic to degrade the Nicki Minaj’s of the world, no matter how much you applaud the Lauryn Hill’s. Black women are not homogeneous and will never fit any cookie cutter mold handed to us on a respectability plate.
A friend of mine recently said, “Ghetto people are the most generous, humble people there are. The kind of people that are the first to give you their last.” I can’t help but to agree. So, this one is for the hood rats. The women who get told far too often that they are not worth it. That they need to change to be acceptable. That they just don’t quite reach the bar. This one is for you, and I’m here for you.

By Michael A. Lebowitz
A very remodeled variation of his vintage quantity, Michael Lebowitz's Beyond Capital explores one of many nice debates between Marx students, that of the consequences of Marx's uncompleted works. Lebowitz specializes in the part of the staff, which, he argues, was once no longer constructed in Marx's Das Kapital and which used to be to be the topic of his meant publication on wage-labor. Beyond Capital criticizes the one-sidedness of a lot of Marxist proposal and argues that Marx's political financial system of the operating category and how within which people produce themselves via their struggles are critical for going past capital.

And, there as well, Marx stressed the growing need for money accompanying the extension of the realm of alien products (Marx, 1844c: 271–2, 274, 306). The Missing Book on Wage-Labour 35 Thus, Marx was consistent in pointing out the alienating nature of capitalist production which itself generates needs for commodities. The worker seeks to annihilate the alien and independent object by bringing it (back) within herself, by consuming it. Only by direct possession can the object be hers; her need is for the object that is the possession of another (Marx, 1844c: 299–300, 314).
The lack of correspondence of the theory of Capital to the facts is the most important reason to attempt to develop theoretically the side of the worker. However, there are two additional reasons. In their order of importance, they are (a) that Marx’s own dialectical logic requires consideration of the side of workers and (b) that Marx intended to explore the side of workers in a book on wage-labour. We will consider these in reverse order in the following chapters. 3 The Missing Book on Wage-Labour Man is distinguished from all other animals by the limitless and flexible nature of his needs … The level of the necessaries of life whose total value constitutes the value of labour-power can itself rise or fall.
In contrast, Marx emphasized that, in addition to the desire for limitless wealth (manifested in accumulation), there was also the ‘desire for enjoyment’ (Marx, 1977: 738–43). Alongside of – and in conflict with – the desire for accumulation, there was a capitalist desire for prodigality and luxury expenditure. Although it fell short of the drive to ‘raise consumption to an imaginary boundlessness’ of an earlier ‘consumptionoriented wealth,’ this passion for consumption was one of ‘two souls’ dwelling within the capitalist’s breast (Marx, 1977: 741; 1973: 270).

Massacres and riots
Following the American Civil War, many questions were raised as to how the United States would rebuild and reunify a divided nation, while simultaneously establishing a new social order that promoted civil rights and equal representation of formerly enslaved peoples in the South. Overall, there were three main civic goals during the Reconstruction era:
- Rebuild the infrastructure of the United States after the war;
- Reintegrate the former Confederate states back into the Union; and
- Address the social, political, and economic impacts of slavery in American government and institutions, most notably by amending the U.S. Constitution.
During this period, slavery was abolished, Confederate secession was annulled, and the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments (the Reconstruction Amendments) were added to the Constitution to grant equal civil rights to the newly freed slaves. In 1866, Congress federalized the protection of civil rights in response to violent attacks against Black people in the South, and ex-Confederate states were required to guarantee freedmen's civil rights before rejoining the Union.
Republican coalitions aimed to transform Southern society. The Freedmen's Bureau and the U.S. Army played vital roles in establishing a free labor economy, protecting freedmen's legal rights, and creating educational and religious institutions. "Carpetbaggers" from the North and supportive white Southerners ("Scalawags") were involved in Reconstruction efforts.
Opposing suffrage and rights for freedmen were the "Redeemers"; Southern Bourbon Democrats; President Andrew Johnson (1865–1869), and the Ku Klux Klan, which terrorized and murdered freedmen and Republicans throughout the former Confederacy.
President Ulysses S. Grant (1869–1877) supported congressional Reconstruction protecting Black people, but faced declining support in the North with Liberal Republicans joining Democrats in calling for a withdrawal of the Army from the South. In 1877, as part of a congressional compromise to elect a Republican as president after a disputed election, federal troops were withdrawn from the South.
Reconstruction had significant shortcomings, including the failure to protect freed Black people from Klan violence before 1871, as well as issues of corruption, starvation, disease, death, and brutal treatment of Union soldiers. Moreover, it offered reparations to former slaveowners but not to former slaves. However, Reconstruction did succeed in restoring the federal Union, limiting reprisals against the South, establishing the constitutional rights to national birthright citizenship, due process, equal protection of the laws, and male suffrage regardless of race, and a framework for eventual legal equality for Black people.

Florida Teachers Union Calls For Education Commissioner To Appoint Panels For Reopening Schools
The Florida Education Association (FEA) is asking the state's education commissioner to create two groups that would guide how schools should reopen. These groups would be separate from the Governor's Reopening Florida task force.
The FEA is encouraging Florida's Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran to form two committees—one for PreK-12 schools, the other for colleges. The organization also wants students, parents, and community groups like the NAACP and Hispanic Federation to be on the committees.
For the PreK-12 group, the FEA wants members to focus on younger students, students with disabilities, and students from lower socioeconomic communities.
Both groups would address issues like mental health when giving recommendations on how to reopen schools.

“Drugs are bad, mmkay?”
Yeah, but you know what’s worse? Ignorance. It’s a fact that people do drugs, and in all likelihood, will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. So rather than cluster them all under a barbed umbrella and throw hate bombs at the whole thing, wouldn’t it be better, and easier, to sift the fact from the fiction. A little information can go a long way, and understanding drug habits and stereotypes may actually come in handy in the case of a family member or friend who may be in a bad place. Hell, it might even help you decide how best to treat your own body.
Here’s a few myths and misconceptions busted about common drugs.
Total BS. While some studies have shown a little evidence that chronic cannabis smokers have a lower sperm count, that’s mostly connected to the weed itself. The seeds bit is just some shit your friends told you in school.
MDMA, also known as ecstasy, is a recreational drug that gives the user a euphoric, empathetic and stimulated high. Extremely high doses can result in liver or kidney failure, as with with anything in excess, as well as serotonin syndrome. However, there’s not really any likelihood of actual holes in your brain.
This misconception comes from a segment of Oprah Winfrey’s show where they depicted a PET scan of a normal brain and the brain of an emotionally troubled woman who had been abusing several drugs, including ecstasy. Check out the images below.
The 2nd image shows some kind of ‘holes’ in the brain, but that’s just visual, as in those aren’t literal holes, but just areas where there was low blood flow or sugar consumption. It’s impossible to know what this was due to, but if it was ecstasy, the blood flow would return to normal within 3-4 weeks.
Again, I’m not condoning the usage of these drugs, just dispelling some general misinformation. Cocaine/heroin are both extremely addictive, and can cause a whole lot of physical and psychological damage, but a single, first-time use of these drugs cannot get you addicted.
Addiction is defined as the continuation of a previously pleasurable activity due to it becoming a compulsive need, both mentally and physically. While an introductory experience with drugs like cocaine or heroin can lead you to want to try it again, addiction happens through more prolonged usage.
Bath salts are an umbrella term for research chemicals, or synthetic designer drugs that have similar effects to popular drugs such as ecstasy but are legal due to their differing chemical nature, which doesn’t yet classify them as an illegal drug. There was a case in Florida a while ago where a man, thought to be on bath salts, tried to eat another man’s face. The story created a wave of bath salt-paranoia, fuelled by the media.
Turns out, the man had simply smoked some marijuana, and was also – wait for it- clinically insane, hence the face-eating. So bath salts may be dangerous and unresearched, but they won’t turn you into a freakin’ zombie.
Maybe not by written human definition, but even a casual look at a few statistics should work to convince you that alcohol is one of the most dangerous, and abused drugs – not least because it’s not even classified as one. Alcohol abuse kills 2.5 million people each year, according to the WHO. Alcoholism is just as damaging as drug addiction and alcohol addiction even causes changes in the body and brain. The only reason that it’s legal, or that other drugs are illegal, is because of rumours spread by a few corporate money men from the old days and a massive lack of information.
Contrary to what those before and after pictures of meth heads might imply, not all meth addicts have gaunt faces, missing teeth and scarred, pockmarked faces with open sores. There are several highly functional, totally presentable people around the world who depend on the drug on a daily basis, and you wouldn’t even know it. Yes, meth abuse causes a whole host of neurological and physical problems, but it’s a common and incorrect stereotype that all meth addicts have similar physical markings and giveaways.
And that’s that. If you can think of some other common myths about drugs, let us know.
Note: This article is just about busting myths. It’s not condoning drug use in any way whatsoever.

Study: Hurricane Irma could be the cause of several sinkholes
THE VILLAGES, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - Did you escape Hurricane Irma unscathed? Maybe not.
Scientists are now blaming the monster storm for a rash of sinkholes across Central Florida -- and there could be more.
Two homes in The Villages sit condemned, as six weeks ago, a sinkhole opened up underneath them. And any repairs done to the homes are just undone by more sinking.
Geologist James Olson's team has been meeting with many in the Villages and Central Florida. There is growing concern with the wet season coming up and old damage sitting unfixed. And the situation becomes even more uneasy, as memories of the massive sinkholes that swallowed homes last year are in our heads.
Olson's team at Geohazards report that hundreds of sinkholes have opened up since Hurrican Irma and the drought last spring gave the storm some extra bite.
"Following that drought when we get a large amount of rain that water is down-filling, in-filling those cavities within the limestone and we're getting all kinds of sinkholes popping up all over Florida," says James Olson of Geohazards Geology and Engineering.
And Olson says to expect more, especially as with more development, they are more likely to hit near people.
Neighbors in the Villages are pushing community leaders hard to meet with experts and slve the old damage before the next wave.

Iganga district has got a new District Land Board replacing the previous one dissolved on allegations of rampant corruption.
The new Board was sworn in yesterday 4th February 5, 2022 with the LC 5 chairman Iganga, Ezra Gabula strongly cautioning members against corrupt tendencies.
Gabula said the previous land board that was dissolved involved itself in acts of corruption a move that resulted in a court case that was filed against the district.
He said the district later lost the case and was fined shillings 54 million by court following a garnishee to attach the district account.
The assistant chief administrative officer Iganga, Idd Batenganya urged the new district land board members to always consult the technical staff to avoid causing problems.
Batenganya said issues involving land matters are always technical and require guidance at all times to avoid a repeat of previous mistakes taken by the former land boards.
The new district land board chairperson, Sylvester Byakika aged only 24 years in his maiden speech promised to always consult the technical staff at all times to ensure effective delivery of services.
“I promise to always seek guidance from the relevant offices because am new in this filed,” he said.
Other members on the district land board who were sworn into office include Henry Wanfuko, Sharifa Byokooba, Kaudha Tumwesigye Robina, and Catherine Nalongo.

Low carb fish chowder is hearty, full of cream, lightly flavoured with fish or clams, and it fills you up with goodness and warms you to your toes. Typical chowders are often so thick, your spoon can stand straight up in them. They can be like concrete. And all that thickness comes from flour, which let’s face it, really isn’t good for you. It only makes it seem heartier, when really it’s filling you up with empty carbs. Add to that the potatoes that are standard in Boston Clam Chowder and you’ve got yourself a carb-filled soup with little nutrition to recommend it. The truth is, low carb fish chowder is far more satisfying.
Even before I followed a low carb diet, I always skipped the flour in my fish chowder in favour of a thinner broth. So I suppose my version was always gluten-free. In the past few years, I’ve figured out a great sub for the potatoes to make it a truly low carb fish chowder. Radish may seem like a strange substitute for potatoes, but not if it’s daikon radish. Say what? Yep, that was my first reaction too; what was this huge, white radish I’d never heard of?
Daikon is a really mild, white radish that resembles potatoes when chopped. It’s a perfect low carb substitute for potatoes. In fact, you wouldn’t be able to tell the daikon from potatoes for a second unless I told you that’s what they were.
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cups chopped daikon radish
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 lb fresh white fish like cod, pollock or tilapia, chopped
- OR 2 can chopped clams
- 1 tbsp butter
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
- Add onion and daikon radish to bacon grease and cook until onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add chicken stock and simmer 10 minutes. Season with thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add cream and fish and continue to simmer until fish is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Float butter on top.
- Serve immediately.

You now gaze wonderingly at the Château de Chambord, ordered up by King Francis I as a sixteenth century hunting lodge, today often regarded as the single most spectacular of the 300+ castles in France’s Loire Valley. The France tourist will find the château’s 440 rooms (and 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases) on a 13,000 acre park and game reserve, between bustling Thoury (population 423) and Huisseau-sur-Cosson (population 2,297).
In short: in the French middle-of-nowhere. Many travel bloggers suggest touring the Loire’s castles by car. I see their point, but managed to visit Chambord by transit without having to hitchhike back to my hotel, and can offer practical tips on how other car-free tourists may do the same.
(I have more to share about playing tourist in France without a car, but will save the rest for a separate post. Château de Chambord was much tougher to visit by transit than any other France attraction seen to date, and rates its own entry.)
(♦) First things first: thank you, Detour Effect, for writing Visiting Castles in the Loire Valley Without a Car. I started with you. You inspired me!
(♦) The official Chambord site links to an out-of-date bus schedule. The web page you want is:
It’s French-only, confusing, won’t inspire confident warm-fuzzies in potential tourists … but, bottom-line: these are the folks who operate the bus you’ll take. What they say goes.
(♦) Study the page long enough, and you will see that in 2022:
- You can visit other castles aboard this bus, as described by Detour Effect. I rode it only to Chambord.
- The bus operates only on some days, marked in blue. I visited on May 25. See the little blue square?
- The bus departs the Blois-Chambord train station for the castle at 9:15 on all days except Saturday.
- Your return bus from Château de Chambord depends on your day of travel. I boarded at 14:20, returned to the Blois-Chambord station at 15:25.
(♦) Expect no meaningful signage to guide you at the Blois-Chambord station, and expect to meet no English speakers at the station’s SNCF office. You’re in the sticks.
(♦) While descending from the rail platform, I had admired a roundy-round bicycle-pedestrian bridge (described elsewhere online in French and in English.) The Chambord castle bus stop is immediately north of this passerelle. If castle-bound, a separate bus stop on Boulevard Daniel Dupuis is a red herring.
(♦) I remember no taxis at the station (in case you were hoping to ignore everything else in this post, and ride a cab to the castle). Sorry.
(♦) The plush castle bus arrived on schedule, and dropped us off in a bus parking lot on the Chambord castle grounds. Several fellow passengers spoke both French and English, and could confirm So-how-do-we-get-back-to-Blois? particulars with the driver.
(♦) The Chambord castle grounds include cafés, restaurants, hiking trails and, of course, the 440 rooms (and 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases) of the castle itself. There’s a lot to see! … a good thing, as the Rémi bus schedule promised that I wouldn’t be able to board a return bus for the next four and a half hours. The limited travel schedule is the main drawback to visiting the castle by transit.
(♦) The return bus did not motor directly back to Gare Blois-Chambord, but instead first traveled to the stops for two other château: Cheverny and Beauregard. So: thirty-five minutes on the bus to get to the castle in the morning, but an hour and five minutes to return to Gare Blois-Chambord in the afternoon.
In May, 2022, much of the castle exterior was swaddled in that arch-enemy of amateur dSLR wielders the world over: construction scaffolding. I took few exterior shots. For other photos, please see the photo directory.

Legendary jazz singer Abbey Lincoln calls herself a "warrior woman."
Abbey Lincoln started her career in the 1950s on the supper club circuit. She left that world after meeting the innovative drummer Max Roach. In 1957, they made the first in a series of records together, which featured Lincoln backed by such jazz luminaries as Sonny Rollins and Eric Dolphy. Lincoln's songs began to reflect her growing involvement in the Civil Rights and Black Pride movements.

The Court of Appeal in Lagos has struck out a N47.1 billion theft charge against a former Managing Director of Intercontinental Bank Plc, Erastus Akingbola, saying the trial court had no jurisdiction over the matter.
But the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which prosecuted the former bank chief, has a separate case against Mr. Akingbola in a Federal High Court, still bordering on corruption.
Mr. Akingbola was charged by the EFCC alongside Bayo Dada, General Manager of Probics Securities Ltd, before a Lagos High Court in Ikeja.
They were charged on 22- counts bordering on stealing and obtaining money by false pretences.
Mr. Akingbola was fired as the boss of the now defunct Intercontinental Bank in 2010, alongside the heads of several other banks, accused of stealing billions of naira of depositors money.
After years in court, the former bank chief had, through his lawyers, Wole Olanipekun, and Taiwo Osipitan, challenged the jurisdiction of the high court to entertain the charge preferred against them.
The trial court judge, Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo, had, however, in a ruling delivered on May 2, 2014, dismissed their applications and held that it was competent to entertain the charges preferred against the appellants.
The lower court had then assumed jurisdiction in the matter.
Dissatisfied with the ruling of the court, Mr. Akingbola and the other accused then filed two separate appeals, urging the Court of Appeal to set aside the decision of the lower court.
The appellate court, in a unanimous decision on Wednesday, allowed the appeal on the grounds that the subject of the alleged offences related to banking operations and capital issues, fell under the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court.
Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Amina Augie, held that the lower court judge took a narrow view of the issue, when it assumed jurisdiction on the case.
Ms. Augie held that the lower court judge erred when he failed to take notice of the decision of the appellate court in the case of Okey Nwosu vs EFCC, even when it was brought to his notice.
The judge noted that the appellate court had in Okey Nwosu’s case held that the Ikeja High Court, Lagos, where the charges were instituted against the defendants, had no jurisdiction over capital market-related issues.
Ms. Augie held that the refusal of the lower court to abide by the principle of Stare decisis, was tantamount to “judicial rascality”, adding that it would encourage the lower court to take up arms against the appellate court.
The court held that the subject matter of the alleged offences related to banking operations and capital market issues, which was outside the jurisdiction of the Lagos High Court.
It, therefore, held that the lower court failed in its duty as an unbiased umpire when it refused to study thoroughly the processes presented before it.
The ruling was also adopted by Justice Samuel Oseji and Justice Abimbola Obaseki-Adejumo.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalled that Mr. Olanipekun had earlier in his submission, urged the court to allow the appeal and set aside the decision of the lower court.
He had argued that the trial judge erred in law when he assumed jurisdiction over the charge before him, in the face of clear provisions of Section 251 of the Constitution and Section 8(1) of the Federal High Court Act. (NAN)

MANTRA + IDEAL CLUB *POSTPONED*
Please note: This event has been postponed. Tickets will remain valid for the new date, which will be announced asap. Message from the band below:
We’re sorry to announce that we have to postpone our UK headline tour next month.
We’re about to head into the studio to begin work on our debut album which unfortunately overlaps with the tour. The response to the I Want EP was so great that we want to focus on delivering you the best album we possibly can, we’d love to be playing these new songs for you which is why we have made the decision to postpone the tour.
We are aiming to reschedule and be out on the road again as soon as possible, tickets for the May tour will still be valid for the rescheduled dates later in the year. Stay tuned.
West London rock band Måntra would rather stand up and deliver music with a message for the left-behinds and the disenfranchised in these increasingly polarised times. The band combine emotive lyrics with haunting melodies, distorted guitars and thundering drums to powerfully affect their audience when they play live, something that the band thrives upon. “When someone came up to us for the first time and said ‘Man, that’s a fucking cool song’ it was just the best feeling in the world, like they understood it all.”
Måntra’s powerful live performance and articulate songwriting soon caught the attention of award-winning producer Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Killing Joke, Pixies, The Family Rain), who invited them to record at his Rockfield Studios in Gwent, Wales. The result would be the band’s debut, the I Want EP, which then went on to receive the attention of renowned Canadian indie label Dine Alone Records (Alexisonfire, FIDLAR, Jimmy Eat World, The Dirty Nil) who duly signed the band. The EP truly embodies all the encompassing sentiment and raw energy that have come to define Måntra – whilst at the same time echoing the band’s social commentary on what they perceive to be modern life.
With the debut EP released in January of 2017, Måntra have received support from Radio 1 DJs such as MistaJam, Dan P. Carter and Annie Mac who named the band as one of her ‘New Names’ for December. Signing to Dine Alone Records hasn’t diminished the sentiments that breathed life into the band in the first place. Simon concludes “I don’t want to rest on our laurels, this is just the beginning. There is so much more we can do”.

(WXYZ) — President Biden on Friday picked the first Black female nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court. It's a historic decision at the tail end of Black History Month.
People on both sides of the aisle have stated, in so many words, it's a promise made and promise kept by the Biden administration. He followed through on picking a Black woman as stated on the campaign trail.
His pick, appeals court Judge and Harvard Law School graduate Ketanji Brown Jackson, said on Friday, “I am truly humbled by the extraordinary honor of this nomination.”
Merle Vaughn, national law firm diversity recruiter for Major, Lindsey and Africa, told 7 Action News that it’s about time.
“You’ve had these women and other women who have been qualified prior to this and nobody has asked the question, why they haven’t been considered," Vaughn said.
Robyn Lynn McCoy, president of the Black Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, said she advocates for more qualified Black judges at every level of the judicial system. It's representation she believes helps counter systemic discrimination.
“I think America is one of the greatest countries in the world, but we still do have issues as far as a caste system, as far as race, class and gender,” McCoy explained.
Now Jackson awaits the confirmation process in the Senate.
Dave Dulio, professor of political science at Oakland University said, "I think the big comparison is the nomination and confirmation battle when Justice Ginsberg passed away.”
He pointed out that President Donald Trump replaced a liberal justice with a conservative. This time, a liberal judge has been selected to replace another liberal justice, Judge Stephen Breyer.
“So, the ideological balance of the court is not going to change. I think that that will take the heat down a little bit. Keyword, a little bit, on this confirmation process," Dulio explained.
He also noted Jackson was confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals by the Senate just last summer, with three Republicans voting in support of her. Dulio said that may work in Jackson's favor.
“I think it’s going to matter for young girls. It’s going to matter for women, Black women going to law school," Vaughn said.
McCoy said, "I was 14 when I decided I wanted to be a lawyer, and I was mentored. My father’s my first mentor. When I was in college, I was at the University of Chicago. Michelle Obama was there and she mentored me. She helped me with my law school application, and so what it says to young girls, young woman is that in America, anything is possible.”
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel put out a statement calling Jackson "a radical, left-wing activist" and says she will rubber-stamp Biden's "disastrous agenda."

Every year, millions of devotees come from every corner of the world to capture the captivating view of the Mount Kailash. The place offers a wide coverage of unexplored mysteries to the travelers visiting it. Mount Kailash is standing at 22000 feet in a remote location in western Tibet. Due to the high altitude, only few thousands of people are able to complete the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2017. The Mansarovar Yatra is mainly renowned for taking a parikrama of the Mount Kailash and taking a holy dip in the Mansarovar Lake. Both these acts are defined to barred you off all the sins you have committed so far and take you to the divine contentment of life. The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is arranged by both the Ministry of External Affairs and private tour operators. During the Yatra, people of age group between 18-70 years of age are allowed but that too only after a detailed medical check-up. The Mansarovar Yatra 2017 can be done either through land cruisers, AC buses or even by helicopters depending upon the preference of the traveler and the choice available with ease.

All these places add on the gloss to the spiritual aura of the Mount Kailash and its surroundings.

GAO: Patch management needs help
The government should consider providing centralized patch management services to help agencies protect their IT systems, according to a new General Accounting Office report.
GAO found many agencies are not consistently installing patches that fix security flaws in software. A centralized service would take the place of the failed Patch Authentication and Dissemination Capability, a free service launched in February 2003 by the Federal Computer Incident Response Center and shut down a year later. Its limited abilities gave agencies little incentive to use it.
The Office of Management and Budget said it would consider this possibility, but said: "Ultimately, it remains each agency and system owner's responsibility to maintain the security of their systems."

Six years after the idea was mooted, the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) took off on Monday. Its implementation holds a lot of promises for subscribers, the regulator and operators, reports LUCAS AJANAKU
History was made on Monday when the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was launched at the Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos.
At the historic event, stakeholders listed the benefits MNP to global system for mobile (GSM) communication subscribers.
Director, Regulatroy Affairs and Special Projects, Airtel Nigeria, Osondu Nwokoro, said the MNP would “enable a mobile subscriber to migrate from one service provider to another while retaining the phone number allocated to him by his original/former service provider.” He added that the mobile number is a unique means of identification, such as the Social Security and National ID Numbers in other organised jurisdictions.
He listed four major stakeholder groups that would benefit from MNP. They are subscribers, operators, Federal Government and the NCC.
Experts say subscribers will have the opportunity to retain their numbers and have the freedom to choose and benefit from high quality service, tariffs, coverage and product range which will be induced by competition.
Operators would profit from the upgrade of their infrastructure for optimal use, showcase innovative product offerings and services and increase their market share, they added.
With the MNP, the Federal Government would boost its contributions to social overhead capital and increase the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and foreign direct investment (FDI). This, analysts said, would lead to improvement in national communications infrastructure, described as one of the cardinal objectives of the government.
For the NCC, it would take the burden of regulation off its shoulders as the industry would self-regulatory in terms of quality, coverage, competition and tariffs. It would also lessen the resources allocated to address industry concerns while the resources saved can beused for other industry issues even as there will be less enforcement actions.
To ensure a seamless operation of MNP, the NCC engaged the services of Interconnect Clearing House Nigeria Limited (ICN), also a licencee of the NCC, to handle the porting in (migration of a subscriber into a new networ) and porting out (migration of subscribers form its old network) process. The firm also partnered Telcordia and Saab Grintek to implement the scheme.
ICN Chief Operating Officer, Uche Onwudiwe, described the porting process as simple. He said all a willing subscriber that is dissatisfied with his/her service provider needs to do is walk into the shop of the recipient operator (the network service provider into which a subscriber ports in) and request for form which is filled. After the completion of that formalty and presentation evidence to prove that the owner of the SIM is actually the person requesting for porting, an SMS in which port will be sent to 3232 from where it will be picked for action by the ICN which will begin the process of completing the process by contacting the recipient (the network service provider into which a subscriber ports in). Upon the completion of the process, a new SIM card would be given to the subcriber by the recipient network operator while the subscribers would be required to register the new SIM again.
According to him, the process will take a about 48 hours to complete, adding that no operator has the right to stop the process from going on.
MTN Nigeria Cief Executive Officer Brett Goshen said the telco would leverage on the experience it has gained in its operations in other climes where MNP had been introduced, adding that customer care officials had been trained in all the telcos’ shops to attend to subscribers who want to join the network.
His Airtel counterpart, Segun Ogunsanya, said its network is prepared to accommodate new subscribers. Also, Olayinka Olafimihan of Glo and Ndidi of Etisalat said their companies were prepared for MNP.
Executive Vice Chairman, NCC, Eugene Juwah, said the commission has developed guidelines for the process. “It is pertinent to mention that there are rules governing the process of customers porting from one network to another and regulating the implementation by network providers. These rules are contained in the Mobiel Number Portability Business Rules already published and available on the commisssion’s website. In addition, the commission has also developed Regulations for Mobile Number Portability,” Juwah said, adding that the documents would provide guidance, promote transparency and healthy competition among service providers.
ICN Chairman, Admiral Allison Madueke (retd), said the firm has its main data centre in Lagos and a disaster recovery centre in Abuja where subscribers’ porting information would be stored.
He said the data centres are secured against cyber attacks. “The number of fireworks we have created is adequate to protect everybody that is porting and the process of porting needs a lot of screening. When you go to the porting centre, you will be given a from to fill,” he said, adding that the attendants will have to check the authenticity of the information that has been provided.
Director, Regulatory Affairs and chair, Implementation Committee, MNP, Ms Josephine Amuwa, said subscribers intending to port must first exhaust the airtime on their phones. On the requirement that a subscriber would have to remain on the network, once ported, for 90 days, she said. It is for the ICN to recover the cost of doing the porting, she said, adding that porting is free.
Chairman House of Representatives Communication Committee, Hon Oyetunde Ojo and his Senate counterpart, Senator Gilbert Nnaji, described the introduction of MNP as marking a new dawn in annals of the country’s telecoms sector. They pledged to continue to work with the regulator to ensure that the subscribers get vaue for the money they spend on making calls.
Chairman, NCC board, Peter Igho, said MNP is a scheme on which the Nigerians are in agreement, adding that the commission embarked on extensive consultation before implementing the project.
Originally conceived by the former executive vice chairman of the NCC, Ernest Ndukwe in 2007, it could not be implemented because there was no data base as subscribers bought SIM cards without registering them before use.
Nigeria is Africa’s largest mobile market with tremendous growth potential given that penetration was just 57.4 per cent at the end of 2010. With the rapidly improving mobile infrastructure and intense compettion among mobile operators, it is expected that the numbers of mobile subscribers will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 15 per cent during 2009-2014, with a penetration rate exceeding 88 per cent by the end of 2014. Latest figures from the NCC show that subscriber base has passed 113 million.
Analysts say the success of MNP scheme may be undermined by the fact that many Nigerians have more than one mobile phone and SIM cards, which enable them to enjoy the services of two or more service providers.
Aside Nigerians getting used to clutching more than one phone (as status symbol as well as a result of inefficient service), there is also the problem of long delays before porting. Forty-eight hours are certainly a long time to complete the exercise and the requirement that the subscriber will have to acquire the SIM of the recipient network, engage in another round of registration may too unwieldy for prospective porting subscribers.
Added to this is the level of awareness. While it is true that virtually all mobile phone users in the country know about the problem of persistent poor service quality, it may not be true that they have been sufficiently informed about the new freedom being given to them through MNP.
Against this background, the NCC, operators and the National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS) would need to do more by creating public awareness. This could be through newspaper adverts, radio jingles and distribution of handbills written in all the major languages of the country.
It is said of the about 62 countries that have introduced MNP, few have seen more than 30 per cent of subscribers in the market using the service.
But sector analysts say the success rate should not be judged by the number of customers that port, but by the quality of infrastructure and competitiveness that will be generated in the telecoms sector.

Some 23 million additional U.S. residents are expected to become more regular users of the U.S. health care system in the next several years, thanks to the passage of health care reform . Digitizing medical data has been touted as one way to help the already burdened system manage the surge in patients. But putting people’s health information in databases and online is going to do more than simply reduce redundancies. It is already shifting the very way we seek and receive health care. [More]

A palace in the city center, right at the height of the ancient Roman forum on the major road.
The Thiene were the aspiring princes of Vicenza, counting on their friendship with Venice, to which they had helped to deliver the city more than a century earlier. Family divided into two "colonels", that of the dog allied to the king of France, that of the faithful eagle of the emperor.
Weaving international relations with Rome, Florence, Mantua, the Thiene went closer than anyone else to Vicenza to become what were the Dalla Scala for Verona or the Carraresi for Padua. Very wealthy, they needed the most sumptuous palace of all, above their friends Da Porto, above the Valmarana.
What I realized as a young man, based on the project of the much more illustrious Giulio Romano, remains the fragment of a dream, that of great men, some of whom were my friends, who dared, teaching me to dare.

Rocephin (Ceftriaxone Sodium) and/or alternatives
Please note that the country, manufacturer, and/or shipping country may vary depending on availability. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
General Information On Rocephin
Rocephin or Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic used for treating different kinds of bacterial infections in the body, including life-threatening meningitis. Other infections that Rocephin can treat include acute bacterial otitis media, uncomplicated gonorrhea, bacterial septicemia, bacterial pneumonia, bacterial skin infections, bacterial bone infections, and Lyme disease. Your doctor will recommend you to buy Rocephin only if he/she is sure that the infection caused is bacterial in nature.
Side Effects for Rocephin
Some mild side effects of Rocephin may include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, headache, swelling or pain in the tongue, dizziness, vaginal discharge or itching, and excessive sweating. Most of these side effects wane over time as your body gets used to the drug. You need to contact your doctor if you are experiencing any serious side effects of the drug such as bloody or watery diarrhea or stools, blistering, a red skin rash, white patches on your lips or inside the mouth, pale or yellow skin, dark colored urine, less urine, chalky colored stools, heartburn, severe pain in the upper stomach spreading to your back and swelling, irritation, or pain at the site of the injection.
You should not take Rocephin if you have an allergy to Ceftriaxone or similar antibiotics like Ceftin, Omnicefl, Keflex, and Cefzil. You should inform your doctor beforehand if you have kidney or liver disease, an intestinal or stomach disorder, or any gall bladder problem. Rocephin may cause diarrhea, but you should not take any other medicine to stop this side effect before consulting your doctor. Though the drug does not harm an unborn baby, you should inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. As Rocephin may cause dizziness, you should not drive a vehicle or do any other activity that requires you to stay alert.
Depending on the severity and type of bacterial infection, Rocephin 1g to 2g per day is given to an adult patient, sometimes divided into two doses to be taken twice a day. If the infection has been caused by staphylococcus aureus, then you will need to take Rocephin 2g to 4g per day. For treating uncomplicated gonococcus infections, a single intramuscular dose of Rocephin 250mg is recommended. Usually, the treatment continues for up to 4 to 14 days, and for at least 2 days after the infection has been resolved. You may need to visit your doctor regularly for follow ups. Do not stop taking the injection even if you notice that symptoms of the infection have disappeared. If you stop the course before completion, the bacteria may not be destroyed completely and may return, only to cause other complications or a worse infection.
You should not buy Rocephin if you are taking other Cephalosporin antibiotics such as Raniclor, Duricef, Omnicef, Ancef, Spectracef, Vantin, Cefzil, Cedax, Ceftin, Keflex, and Velosef. You should inform your doctor about all the prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines and herbal products you are using at present, so that he or she can identify the ones that could interact with Rocephin and recommend any necessary changes in your medication dosage and/or schedule.
