Being neutral is the biggest crime
The National, November 6, 2009
VECHAPAL, INDIA : The staccato rattle of gunfire startled Poneym Pandroo from his sleep. He reached for his bow and arrow, quickly gathered his four children, and fled into the nearby jungle, away from the only home he had ever known.
He remembers the confusion as villagers ran for their lives as their houses were set ablaze behind them. Those who were not quick enough were chased down by the gunmen and savagely killed. When the villagers returned four days later, Mr Pandroo, 40, found his home destroyed. The gunmen had torched the paddy farmer’s thatched hut, looted his food grains, and slaughtered his chickens.
“They call us Naxalites,” he said, sitting outside his gutted home, gaunt, withered and trembling. “Because we refused to join Salwa Judum, we are automatically equated to Naxalites.”
Suspected of having links with Naxalites, or Maoist rebels, about 700 villages, such as Vechapal, in the Maoist heartland of southern Chhattisgarh, have been burnt down by the Salwa Judum, a state-sponsored anti-Naxal vigilante militia set up in 2005. Since then, its relentless attacks have forced 50,000 people to move into squalid government camps and another 250,000 people to flee into the deeper reaches of jungles, living a life of fear, hunger and misery.
Vechapal, located in the state’s Bijapur district, has been torched more than a dozen times in the last three years – recently in August. Tribals cower inside their huts at night, clutching axes and bows and arrows, fearing more attacks. Some tribal families have lost their homes so many times in arson attacks that they have given up on rebuilding all together. They sleep in tarpaulin tents in the nearby jungle at night. In rebel-controlled or “liberated villages” as the Maoists call them, like Vechapal, perhaps lies a plausible answer to why India is losing its war against the rebels.
The Salwa Judum attacks, the Chhattisgarh government claims, are meant to cleanse the countryside of Maoist influence. But far from breaking the Naxal web of support, this reign of brutality has transformed the region into a fertile Maoist stronghold and recruitment ground.
Those who visited Vechapal before the Salwa Judum was formed, testify that this was not always a Naxal-supporting area. Its loyalties shifted away from the state only to protect itself from repeated invasions.
“If the state wantonly kills villagers, they’re giving them a message that it has the power to do so only because it wields guns,” said Himanshu Kumar, a human rights activist. “The state is thus inspiring villagers to embrace guns.”
The rebels actively exploit the anger of such people who now view the state as their enemy and the rebels as modern-day Robin Hoods sympathetic to their woes. Armed Naxalite guerrillas boldly roam the village in battle fatigues for their signature monthly meetings and freely come and go from the nearby jungles for nightly rests and daytime meals.
They have managed to create a state within a state. Villagers travel to the nearby jungle to attend Jan Adalats – the “people’s courts” of the rebels – to settle local disputes.
The Naxalites have told the villagers that the persistent attacks on their homes are a conspiracy by multinational mining companies which, in connivance with the state, want to take over their land to gain access to the mineral-rich tribal belt. The villagers tend to believe them.
They now greet outsiders with “Lal Salaam”, or Red Salute, the traditional greeting of the Maoists. “They are our protectors from oppressors,” Mr Pandroo said of the Naxalites. “Now we don’t salute the Indian flag, but only the Red flag.”
Comrade Vijay, the deputy leader of the local Naxal squad that controls 70 villages in Bijapur district, said in an interview that public support for the rebels had increased threefold since the Salwa Judum came into existence. “Our cadre strength has gone up, our area of operation has expanded,” he said.
His men, he revealed, were training villagers on tactics to “protect themselves” from the invading forces more effectively with their traditional weapons, mainly bows and arrows. Young boys are plucked and trained to plant detonators in the ground for improvised explosive devices.
Previous government fact-finding missions agree with the view that the Naxal movement is spreading rapidly because of rising support from tribals caught up in the crossfire between the government and Naxalites. A fact-finding committee in October 2008 comprising senior bureaucrats, activists, and intelligence officials said the main support for the Naxalite movement came from dalits – people belonging to the “lowest” castes – and Adivasis, India’s tribal population.
But Raman Singh, Chhattisgah’s chief minister, dismisses the view, claiming that Salwa Judum is a “spontaneous reaction of the people” against growing Naxal tyranny. He likens Naxalism to a disease, the only antidote to which is cutting off the source of the disease: Adivasis living in Naxal villages. Salwa Judum, he insists, will only be disbanded “once the Naxal menace is eliminated”.
Himanshu Kumar, the rights activist, says this is comparable to the American counterinsurgency strategy of “draining the water and killing the fish”. “The state forgets that Adivasis are not fish, and the villages they inhabit are not fish bowls.”
For years, the state has punished “liberated” villages for harbouring Naxal sympathies. The administration has long stopped providing social and welfare support to villagers, already among the poorest, most disadvantaged people in India.
Vechapal’s tribals endure pitch darkness at night because the village is not connected to the power grid. The government-run higher-secondary school was burnt down by Salwa Judum three years ago. Weekly health check-up camps have long been discontinued. Instead, villagers rely on a local shaman, who chants prayers to exorcise evil spirits.
Vechapal is full of stories of dispossession and deprivation. Hunger and illness are endemic. The village is full of naked, chronically malnourished children with distended bellies and fly-covered noses.
Most tribals, who belong to the Gondi tribe, one of the aboriginal tribes in Central India, sweat all day long in the fields in the broiling heat wearing tattered lunghis, sarong-like lengths of cloth, doing the laborious work of thinning the rice plants. When agriculture fails, as it did this year as a result of a delayed monsoon, they are forced to scavenge in the forests for seeds, berries and wild vegetables.
Human rights activists warn about the forthcoming military counter-offensive being planned by the state to flush out Naxalites. There could be a potential genocide, they say, with the villagers of places such as Vechapal trapped in the middle between the military and the Maoists.
“This will only mean an indiscriminate massacre of tribals, a full-scale war against hundreds of thousands of people, against the people at large,” said Mr Kumar.
He suggests another solution. “To wean people away from Naxalites, don’t send in soldiers,” he said. “Send in doctors and teachers instead.”

U23s Match Preview: 7.6.12 vs Panama City Beach
Only four games remain in PDL regular seasonORLANDO, Fla. The Orlando City U23s travel to Panama City Beach, Fla., to take on the Panama City Beach Pirates at Gavlak Stadium on Friday, July 6th, in a showdown of teams ranked third and fourth in the Southeast Division of the PDL. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.
Panama (City Beach) is a six-point game, said Orlando City U23s Head Coach Joe Avallone. They are coming together at the right time. We have four games left in this tournament. Our division, from top to bottom, doesnt have an easy game. We know we have to get it done.
Orlando is fresh off a dramatic 2-1 win over Mississippi Brilla FC on Tuesday, one in which Defender Oumar Diakhite scored in the 85th minute to give the U23s the three points and victory. The win puts Orlando in third spot in the Southeast Division with a mark of 6-2-4, one point behind IMG Bradenton Academics for second place in the standings.
The Pirates most recently defeated FC Jax Destroyers 3-1, keeping pace with the top of the division with a record of 6-3-2. The team is led by Forward Matthew Friesen, who has four goals and one assist for the Pirates in 2012.
The two clubs have met once in 2012, with Orlando taking the 1-0 win over Panama City Beach at the Seminole Soccer Complex back on May 19. Drew Helm scored the lone goal in the 10th minute while Goalkeeper Brendan Moore recorded his first shutout of the season to capture the win.
After the Pirates match on Friday, only three games remain in the PDL regular season. Two of the three will be played at the U23s home venue of Seminole Soccer Complex, starting with a matchup against current second-place team IMG Bradenton on Tuesday.
For more information on the U23s match on Friday and more, visit Orlandocitysoccer.com. You can follow the U23s on Twitter by visiting their page @OrlandoCityU23s for all your City U23s news.
Player to Watch: Moses Aduny
U23s Forward Moses Aduny provided an immediate spark for the Lions when he came on in the 67th minute against Mississippi Brilla FC on Tuesday. Aduny was inserted at the other forward spot, opening up lanes for what eventually led to Citys game-winning goal in the 85th. Look for the forward to continue to provide a spark for the Lions the rest of 2012.

Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo is reportedly set to terminate his loan spell at Benfica and join Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice for the rest of the season.
According to a report from ESPN, as relayed by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona youngster Jean-Clair Todibo is set to join French club OGC Nice on loan for the rest of the campaign, cutting short his current temporary stint with SL Benfica.
Having come through the youth ranks at French outfit Toulouse, Todibo made the switch to Barcelona in the winter transfer window of 2019. However, the young centre-back failed to establish a foothold in the first-team at Camp Nou in his first year, which led to a loan spell at FC Schalke in January last year.
Todibo looked decent in his handful of appearances for the Bundesliga strugglers before returning to Barcelona at the end of the campaign. With no place for him in the side, the 21-year-old was farmed out on loan again, this time to Portuguese outfit SL Benfica.
However, game-time has been hard to come by for the Frenchman at his latest temporary club, as he has featured just twice all season, with Barcelona now looking for a better loan destination for him. In spite of the lack of playing time, interest in Todibo hasn’t diminished as a host of clubs are lining up a loan move for Todibo in the current transfer window.
As per the report, there has been interest from Ligue 1 club Saint-Etienne while the likes of AC Milan, Napoli, Parma, Lazio and Benevento in the Serie A are said to be looking at him. But, it seems like the 21-year-old could be headed to Ligue 1 outfit Nice, with the two clubs reportedly closing in on an agreement.
Barcelona and Nice worked together on a loan deal for right-back Moussa Wague last year, with the Catalans’ right-back spending the second half of the 2019/20 campaign at the Allianz Riviera. Now, Todibo too could be set to follow in Wague’s footsteps, by completing a loan switch to Nice.
The reported deal will have an option to make the transfer permanent for a fee in the range of €8-€10 million. However, with the move not yet complete, other clubs are still waiting in the wings to swoop in if the transfer falls through. As things stand though, Todibo’s time in Portugal is nearing an end as he closes in on a return to his homeland.

ATLANTA, March 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SteelSky Ventures, the leading women’s health fund, is proud to announce the final close of its inaugural fund focused on improving women’s health access, care and outcomes. The closing of the fund brings SteelSky’s total assets under management to $72 million, making SteelSky the world’s largest venture capital fund focused on women‘s health.
SteelSky invests across the spectrum of women’s health indications and care modalities, including medical devices, consumer health, digital health, online pharmacy, and retail therapeutics. The fund’s innovative approach to women’s health also makes it possible to invest in technology infrastructure that supports new and innovative models of care delivery.
Fund sponsors include an impressive list of strategic healthcare investors, such as the American Hospital Association (AHA), Eli Lilly, Blue Shield of California, MultiCare Hospital System, Henry Ford Hospital System and Essential Access Health .
“SteelSky Ventures makes critical investments in women’s health with an eye on innovation in care delivery,” said AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack. “The AHA is thrilled with how this fund can positively affect the dual bottom line of financial and social impact.”
In addition to support from leading healthcare institutions, the fund has garnered investment from leading financial institutions including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Motley Fool Ventures. The fund’s advisers include Carter McClelland, former chairman of Bank of America and chief administrative officer of Morgan Stanley; Rick Mazjun, chief operating officer of Stanford Children’s Hospital; Hurley Doddy, CEO of Emerging Capital Partners and Kim Meredith, CEO of the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation.
SteelSky Ventures was founded by Maria Toler Velissaris, a serial entrepreneur, investor, and prolific advocate for female founders and women’s health. Maria discovered a gap in funding for women, and specifically women’s health, as an angel investor and launched the fund to capitalize on this nascent but growing opportunity. To date, Maria has invested in over 20 women-led businesses, sits on numerous healthcare boards, and has been featured as one of the top venture capitalists to watch by Forbes. In 2020, she received the NYU Stern Alumni Changemaker Award and was named to Business Insiders’ list of rising stars in venture capital.
“Women’s health is an area with enormous growth potential, and SteelSky is building a pipeline of the next billion-dollar health giants. We are proud to invest in entrepreneurs who are significantly advancing women’s healthcare around the world,” said Maria.
Rounding out the partnership, managing partners Buffy Alegria, who brings 16 years of banking expertise coupled with a deep understanding of healthcare and medicine, and Casey Albert, a healthcare entrepreneur with 20 years of experience in building, scaling and investing in healthcare businesses.
“The closing of our first fund is a signal that investors see the huge untapped potential in women’s health,” Buffy said. “The wave of support we have received confirms the importance of our thesis and the promising future for companies innovating in this field.”
Despite the fact that women account for 80% of health spending in the United States, women’s health has historically been underfunded and neglected. This lack of investment has been particularly detrimental to women on Medicaid who are uninsured or underinsured. SteelSky is building an ecosystem of portfolio companies spanning a wide range of women’s health indications that can work together to amplify their impact.
One hundred percent of the company’s portfolio companies impact underrepresented communities. Collectively, SteelSky’s portfolio companies have provided more than 40 million people with access to essential healthcare services. Highlights of SteelSky’s portfolio companies include Cayaba treatmentthat provides home-based maternal health services to underserved communities; Origina first digital physiotherapy platform specializing in pelvic floor health, pregnancy and postpartum care; Larkan AI platform for chronic care management; Radiant oximetrycreator of a more accurate fetal distress monitor; ConcertoCarethat provides integrated care for seniors at home and eases the burden on caregivers; Twenty-eight Health, an inclusive telemedicine platform for women’s health; and Ziplinea drone delivery platform expanding access to prescription drugs and lifesaving medical products for rural communities.
“SteelSky is leading the way in women’s health and investing in companies that have a meaningful impact on the world,” Casey said. “Investing in women’s health means better outcomes for women, and we’re just getting started.”

Roqayah is off this week, so Kumars is joined from the top of the hour by Vincent Bevins, an award winning journalist who has covered Southeast Asia and Latin America extensively for the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, and the author of a must-read history of US regime change operations during the Cold War, The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade & the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World.
Vincent begins by reacting to the breaking news that the far-right Brazilian government claims president Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for coronavirus. As is customary, Vincent shares a bit about his political evolution and background as a journalist before sketching the basics of his argument in the book, which moves beyond its primary focus on the US-backed military coup in Indonesia to tell the story of the Cold War as colonialism by other means. Vincent outlines the peculiar ideological landscape of postwar Indonesia, including the blend of nationalist, communist and Islamist forces that rallied under the anti-imperialist banner of the country’s founding father Sukarno. Vincent charts the evolution of the CIA’s strategy from the early coups in Iran and Guatemala to the model, perfected in Indonesia and named after its capital, that would be exported around the world.

DALLAS, Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Organic Energy Corporation (OEC) is seeking permission from the City of Dallas to build a multimillion dollar recycling facility at the McCommas Bluff Landfill. The privately owned and operated facility would capture up to 95% of the recyclables available from the city's garbage, while bringing between $5-20 million annually to city coffers. The first facility represents a nearly $100 million investment directly into South Dallas and would create a public/private partnership, while the City's only input would be a commitment to provide the garbage and lease some land.
"Dallas brings 6,000 tons of garbage every day to the Landfill", says Barney Gorey, VP of Public Affairs for OEC. "Even with the curbside recycling program over 3,500 of those tons are recyclable products which can be captured and sold. The paper, plastic and metals are worth millions and can begin to bring real green jobs to Dallas," he says.
Those jobs number 100 per facility and range from non-skilled to semi-skilled at better than minimum wage according to the company. "With 3 shifts running 24/7, we need local labor," says Gorey. "These are not desk jobs but manual labor with a chance for training and the ability to move up in the organization. We need the workers from South Dallas as much as South Dallas needs us," he says.
The facility uses people and equipment to mechanically sort garbage straight from the route truck. The system is modeled after plants in Europe where recycling and waste minimization have been necessary for decades. The company also has a reference facility in Roseville, California it designed, which has been operating for over 17 years.
"Curbside Recycling is a bad joke in this country," says Gorey. "We love to think we make an impact, but Dallas actually spent $12 million on curbside last year to resell $2 million worth of recyclables." The truth is in the numbers according to the company. A multi-patent pending mechanical separation system uses proven technology to make all the items homogenous, while separating the recyclables from the food and green waste and inert materials. The system has a comprehensive performance guarantee by the manufacturers and systems integrator, backed by a major insurance company. It's not a box, it's cardboard and it's not a milk jug it's plastic to be bundled and sold. The plastics, papers and metals are baled for resale while the food and green wastes are put into large tanks to gather the methane they make. "Just like the methane system currently at McCommas," says Gorey, "the methane is captured and can be used for many different products, or simply cleaned and sold as natural gas, again just like they do at the Landfill."
The company says it can finance the entire operation from the waste generated by the city and revenue share its profits on a 50/50 basis with Dallas. According to Gorey, the total monies given to the city range between $5 million and $20 million annually for a 20-year contract.
"Depending on the waste brought in and the commodity markets for metals, papers and plastics, we can all directly benefit from this facility," says George Gitschel, CEO. "Then we can look at manufacturing markets for the items we recover, like cans to metal or recycled paper processed to new paper. Those are real green jobs," says Gitschel.
The company also says resource flow control can add to the total of recycled products. "The extra 5,000 tons daily being buried in private landfills has incredible value", according to Gitschel. "Millions of dollars of Dallas revenue is being needlessly buried in private landfills, when we can capture that value and give it back to the citizens. It's their money," he says.

Speaking at the NHS Confederation conference, Sajid Javid has outlined plans for the year ahead highlighting the publication of a digital health and care plan, health disparities white paper and the NHS’s first-ever 15-year workforce strategy.
Over the next three years, the Health and Care Levy will see £39 billion of additional funding invested in the health and care sector to help reduce waiting times and ease pressures on the workforce so they can deliver for patients.
The Health and Social Care Secretary commented that progress is being made with hundreds of thousands of patients receiving care more quickly through over 90 new community diagnostics centres (CDCs) to provide easier access to tests closer to home, delivering over one million additional checks, and providing patients with earlier diagnoses. He added that the number of people on the longest waits has halved in the past four months.
Sajid Javid talked about the power of partnerships – taking learnings from the pandemic to strengthen ways of working between different health and care services and drive down waiting times. For example, South London Health and Community Partnership – a partnership of three mental health Trusts – has been able to bring out-of-area patients down by a third and readmissions down by two-thirds.
The Health and Social Care Secretary commented: "It’s not about reinventing the wheel. It’s about listening to the innovators already doing incredible things within the system – then giving them a platform to do it. There are also some 50 acute Trust collaboratives and mixed collaborative, bringing together acute, specialist, mental health and community providers. They’ve already shown that when we partner like this, challenges that appear intractable in one place can be resolved in another."
He reflected on work already underway to tackle the COVID backlog, improve social care and narrow health inequalities, and went on to set out what the Government will deliver over the next year, including:
- A digital health and care plan
- Health disparities white paper
- 10-year plans on cancer, dementia and mental health
- A reset of the NHS Long Term Plan
- A Health Education England workforce framework followed by the NHS’s first-ever 15-year workforce strategy.
Looking ahead, the Health and Social Care Secretary, continued: "I’ve been determined that we keep moving forward because, this moment in time, we dare not lose. It’s a moment when we can combine valuable lessons from the pandemic, with incredible new technology and innovative ways of working – which, when taken together, help us face the challenges of the future. It’s a small window of time where we can make a big difference."
On leadership, he reflected on the findings from General Sir Gordon Messenger and Dame Linda Pollard’s review into health and social care leadership published last week. The review found various examples of exceptional leadership in difficult circumstances. However, it also highlighted reports of poor behaviour, bullying and discrimination in certain parts of the health and social care system. Employing great leadership at the top will help to take burden off NHS staff, allowing staff to focus on providing care for patients and bringing down waiting lists.
Discussing the review, Sajid Javid added: "Just as Gordon and Linda found that bad behaviour was contagious, they found that great leadership was contagious too. It works best when everyone – even those without leader in their job description – feels like a leader."
Responding to the Secretary of State’s speech at the NHS ConfedExpo conference, Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, said: “Health leaders will be reassured that our health secretary recognises the fantastic work they and their teams are delivering to make sure their patients get the care they need and they share his ambition to take this even further, while also ensuring every penny of investment is put to best use. The NHS is full of exceptional leaders but they cannot work miracles.
“There is a capacity gap across financial resilience, capital investment and workforce which needs urgent attention and we have heard the chief executive of the NHS say that the next 900 days are likely to be tougher than the 900 days of the pandemic before it.
“Despite everything leaders are doing, 9 out of 10 members we surveyed recently told us their efforts to reduce waiting lists are being hindered by a decade long lack of investment in buildings and estates, and that they cannot transform patient services to meet the current Long Term Plan targets without further investment."

Via Poem Hunter; anticipating a series on Wordsworth’s influence on Coleridge. Without having yet started The Road to Xanadu, I am pretty sure the Wordsworths and the Southeys had a considerable influence on the Mariner’s composition – if only, because they published texts that dealt with very similar tropes and premises. – Regardless, whether their texts are marginally younger or older than Coleridge’s own, by the way.
Song For The Wandering Jew
Though the torrents from their fountains
Roar down many a craggy steep,
Yet they find among the mountains
Resting-places calm and deep.
Clouds that love through air to hasten,
Ere the storm its fury stills,
Helmet-like themselves will fasten
On the heads of towering hills.
What, if through the frozen centre
Of the Alps the Chamois bound,
Yet he has a home to enter
In some nook of chosen ground:
And the Sea-horse, though the ocean
Yield him no domestic cave,
Slumbers without sense of motion,
Couched upon the rocking wave.
If on windy days the Raven
Gambol like a dancing skiff,
Not the less she loves her haven
In the bosom of the cliff.
The fleet Ostrich, till day closes,
Vagrant over desert sands,
Brooding on her eggs reposes
When chill night that care demands.
Day and night my toils redouble,
Never nearer to the goal;
Night and day, I feel the trouble
Of the Wanderer in my soul.

IFM Inductive Sensor: the main types
In modern machines and high-precision equipment, where it is important to control the position of structural elements, an inductive sensor is installed. What is IFM inductive proximity sensor used for and what types of them, we will consider in this article.
What does an IFM inductive sensor do?
The inductive sensor allows you to detect the presence of an object without having to touch it. Unlike other sensors, IFM proximity switches can only detect metals and are insensitive to other materials, which increases their immunity to interference. Even if a foreign object gets into the sensor sensitivity zone, the false alarm will be excluded.
The principle of operation of inductive sensors is based on a change in the parameters of the magnetic field of an inductor coil, into which a metal object enters. An oscillation circuit inside the instrument generates an electromagnetic field. Since induced currents occur on it, the oscillations are reduced, which is instantly read by the sensor.
- Applies to metal objects only.
- Quite a small distance to the object: up to 80 mm.
- Relatively low price.
- Long service life.
- Resistance to adverse environmental conditions.
- High measurement speed.
In order to choose the right inductive sensor, it is necessary to determine the required speed of the process being measured, reliability, and acceptable cost. You also need to know what will be the distance between the object and the sensor, as well as the shape of the object.
What are the different types of IFM inductive sensors?
Let's take a look at the IFM inductive sensor catalogue:
- Standard devices. The series includes a large number of typical industrial automation devices. Mostly represented by sensors in the basic version.
- High pressure resistant. They are used in high-pressure environments, for example, diagnostics of the end positions of hydraulic cylinders.
- Two-wire devices. Supplied with plug/cable connection, the working area within 2-15 mm.
- Explosion-proof series. Provide automation in environments with combustible and explosive components. Built-in explosion protection prevents sparks.
- Resistant to welding and magnetic fields. The devices have enhanced protection against electromagnetic fields and welding sparks.
- Tubular, ring devices. Highly specialized series are used in assembly plants and lines that manufacture small parts. Can be mounted on hoses, and plastic pipes. They have increased sensitivity, so they accurately determine the smallest elements.
- Heat resistant sensors. The devices can operate at extreme temperatures up to +120+230°C. Widely used in metalworking and metallurgical production. They work in interaction with technical liquids. Special versions withstand temperatures up to +230°C and are used for positioning steel ladles.
- Sensors for applications with increased hygiene standards. Designed for the needs of the food, cosmetics, pharmacology, and medicine industries, where there are special requirements for the materials and raw materials from which the products are made.
- Sensors with analog output. Devices with high measurement accuracy, their value is determined by the distance to the metal object. Demanded in many industries as a reliable and affordable solution for detecting small distance movements of the tailstock of the machine, metal tape, or controlling the shear of structural elements. There are block and cylindrical versions, a series in a plastic case. The working area of the devices is up to 60 mm, the measurement accuracy is up to 10 microns.
- Position measurement sensors. Compared to other types of devices, these sensors are designed to control the displacement of an object along its own sensitive surface. Reliability of measurements is provided by a metal marker. Its dimensions are prescribed in the instructions. The maximum travel distance is up to 133 mm, the ultimate measurement accuracy is up to 100 microns.
Where are IFM inductive sensors used?
Inductive sensors are known for their reliability and safety in harsh environments. This makes them the best choice for the military, aerospace, railroad, food, and heavy industries. Inductive sensors are also used in machine tools, machines for the textile industry, the automotive industry, assembly lines, etc. They are used to detect metal parts in difficult environments and where fast-moving parts need to be inspected.

How food security is the next best challenge facing the world
There is a bigger danger facing the world, especially the developing and poor countries. It is not just a health crisis that stares them in the face, but the eminence of facing a food shortage. Speaking about this crisis, Juergen Veogele, Vice President, Sustainable Development, World Bank has said that it is time that nations forget national boundaries and think about pooling in their food resources.
We could be asking ourselves the questions of whether we are facing a global shortage of food when we look at empty supermarkets. However, Veogele has reassured that the world economies are producing far more than they were doing a century ago. “We do have higher food stocks that we have anywhere in the past.” What is more problematic is to manage the thought that nations will first want to fend for their own people. So the mentality of looking inwards in any crisis is a natural human tendency.
Elaborating over the webinar about empty supermarkets he said, “Because people are indoors, they are eating more and consuming more. Their buying power helps them to horde more food. However, it could also be panic buying psychology, which is now calmed down. Empty shelves do not mean we are short of food.”
What is being suggested for example by David Malpass, President, World Bank Group is also that World Bank is trying to persuade nations which have been exporting more food to continue to do that and not create disruptions there. ‘International collaboration in very important to ensure food shortage does not become real.’
Corona impact on our mental health psychic cases increase experts warn
Countries that solely depend on exports may not be in a position to buy, if prices shoot up. So, this is a time when selling nations should not go into a mode of trade benefits and hurt the desperate developing or poor nations. Unlike the richer nations, which are bogged down more by increasing virus contracting numbers, the poorer nations can only worry about their daily meals and survival. You cannot expect social distancing protocols for them too long. In order for that to work, we will need ‘community development programs, social security nets to stabilize mounting food disruptions.’

Taking place in the future, Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion tells the story of Jack Harper, a droid repair specialist whose stationed on an evacuated Earth. Jack is part of a massive undertaking to extract the vital resources from Earth which has been decimated after decades of war with an alien race, who still scavenges the planet. With Jack's mission nearly complete, he will soon be able to join Earth's other survivors on a lunar colony orbiting Saturn. After a crash landing in which Jack rescues a human from the wreckage of her spacecraft, Jack begins to realize a connection between the woman and his past memories. Unbeknownst to him at first, her arrival triggers a series of events which will force Jack to question everything he has ever known. Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion is a rather original science fiction epic about redemption and the power of the human spirit. With Tron Legacy, Kosinski announced himself as a visionary director and Oblivion further establishes that fact. The film is stunning from a visual perspective, with Kosinski and company doing a great job at designing this living and breathing world. Everything in this world which they've created just feels right from the the production design being clean and sterile, to how technology is inventive yet practical. Oblivion is a film that makes it clear early on that something is wrong with Jack's world as he knows it, giving the viewer tons of memory-infused flashbacks. We are never given enough to figure out exactly what is going on but it is apparently early in the film that Jack's character is being deceived. Personally, I thought the whole film could have been more subtle in approach, with the memory flashbacks being far too abundant for my taste. While the narrative is compelling, it never grabbed me as much emotionally as it needed too, though one can certainly not deny its ambition or scale. The connection between Jack and the woman is a case of being told instead of shown, with myself never really feeling the connection they shared. In the end Joseph Kosinki's Oblivion is a gorgeous piece of science fiction filmmaking and even though it goes through too many of the familiar tropes of the genre, one cannot deny its visual power.
Love of all things cinema brought me here.

There’s a soaring new landmark on the Parisian skyline. Towering over the Périphérique ring road in the eastern part of the city, the pair of buildings are known as the Tours Duo, designed by the acclaimed Ateliers Jean Nouvel with a dramatic incline in order to make a statement. As described by Dezeen, “Nouvel angled the skyscrapers so that they would be more visible from the River Seine, the Périphérique and several of the city’s landmarks…. ‘Eastern Paris is slowly coming into focus, building up and taking form, completing and modifying an unfinished context,’ said Jean Nouvel. ‘This project is about building its summit, its culminating point for the beginning of the century. It is also about creating a character, a singularity that is in relation with the reality of the site, that reveals its particular beauty, that relies on it to invent and strengthen the attractiveness of the place.’” Inside the Tours Duo are 97,000 square meters of office space and a hotel designed by Philippe Starck.
Speaking of skyscrapers, the French Spiderman is back. Alain Robert, a famous free climber who is sometimes arrested after his illegal feats, recently scaled the 48-storey Total Tower in La Defense. (The skyscraper rises 179 meters above the business district to the west of Paris.) Dressed in red, Robert made the climb not just to raise awareness for climate action, but also because of a personal goal he had set for himself when he reached 60 years of age. As quoted in The Guardian: “ ‘I want to send people the message that being 60 is nothing. You can still do sport, be active, do fabulous things,’ said Robert, whose 60th birthday was last month. ‘I promised myself several years ago that when I reached 60, I would climb that tower again because 60 symbolizes retirement age in France and I thought that was a nice touch.’” Since he began climbing in 1975, Robert has scaled more than 150 buildings including Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the tallest in the world. “He climbs without a harness, using only his bare hands, a pair of climbing shoes, and a bag of powdered chalk to wipe off the sweat.
Planning a trip to Paris soon? Air France has announced a slew of new flights out of its Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) hub, including a daily direct flight to Newark (EWR) starting on December 12th after a years-long hiatus. As reported by Simple Flying, “Air France is gearing up for a busy winter, with its schedule for the coming season representing activity levels close to those seen before the coronavirus pandemic… Air France plans to operate its highest-ever volume of North-American bound flights over the coming months.” Other new winter destinations include Innsbruck, Austria and Tromsø, Norway.
Have you heard of internet food delivery services like Getir, Gorillas and Flink? Popularized during the pandemic, these companies promise to delivery groceries to your Parisian doorstep in less than 10 minutes. However, this quick commerce isn’t universally adored. Some view it as a nuisance — the delivery scooters causing all kinds of noise and commotion — and a threat to local commerce and public space. Now the government is clamping down on the so-called “dark stores,” or depots from where these delivery services operate. As reported by the BBC, “Faced by growing protests from local people as well as city authorities, President Emmanuel Macron’s government has decreed that the stores be classified as warehouses, rather than as shops – meaning that in Paris and other cities most will probably be forced to close.”
Speaking of Internet deliveries: France has just set a minimum book delivery fee to help booksellers compete with Amazon. The €3 charge will only apply to orders under €35. As described by The Guardian, “France is seeking to stop what ministers have called “distorted competition” against independent bookshops from online firms who deliver books for a charge of as little as €0.01. Legislation was passed at the end of last year to close the legal loophole.” In the crusade against big tech giants, says The Verge, “it’s the latest measure by the French government to balance competition in the book sector and follows a decades-long tradition of protectionist laws.”
Whether you love it or hate it, the Netflix hit “Emily in Paris” can’t help but create buzz. The latest? A teaser trailer for Season 3 has been released with a date announcement for December 21. Meanwhile Lucas Bravo, who plays the “hot chef,” has roles in two upcoming films: Ticket to Paradise, starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, which The Guardian describes as “a determinedly old-fashioned, feelgood film set in the 1950s and starring Lesley Manville as a newly widowed cleaner who longs to own a couture dress.”

Breaking the Cycle of Recurring Childhood Ear Infections
Chronic ear infections (also called serous otitis media) are the most common disease in kids under 15 years of age. They are responsible for 25 million office visits each year and afflict 10 million children in the United States. Chronic ear infections, which occur when fluid builds up behind the eardrum, frequently go undiagnosed. Often the only symptom is loss of hearing, which might be noticed by parents when a child turns on a TV or radio and sets the volume very high. This hearing loss can have a significant impact on a child when it occurs early in life, affecting emotional, mental and psychological development, as well as socialization and academic performance.
While chronic ear infections differ from the acute ear infections that typically cause severe ear pain and fever, chronic infections are a common cause of the acute ones, especially when the acute ear infections are recurring. Studies have shown that up to one third of children with acute ear infections have evidence of chronic ear infections four or more weeks after the acute infection has been treated.
The standard medical treatment of chronic ear infections consists of antibiotics and/or surgery to insert ear tubes to allow the ears to drain. Unfortunately, some studies have shown up to a 600% increase in the rate of recurrence when antibiotics are used in the treatment of chronic ear infections. Furthermore, other studies have found that ear tubes were no more effective than a placebo in preventing the recurrence of ear infections.
Fortunately, there is a solution that is effective for many children with chronic ear infections. Food allergies are a very common underlying cause of this type of ear infection. While estimates of the prevalence of food allergies varies widely, a recent study published in Annals of Allergy found that 78% of childhood ear infections are associated with food allergies. This study further demonstrated that 86% of these children got significantly better when they eliminated
The most common foods to cause allergies in children include wheat, dairy, eggs, citrus, soy, corn, and peanuts. Specific foods that a child is allergic to can be determined either by the elimination/challenge diet or by blood testing. While skin prick testing is sometimes used, it does not effectively test for the delayed food allergy reactions that make up a significant percentage of food allergy problems.
Other signs that a child may have food allergies include stomach upset, diarrhea or loose stools, flatulence, nausea, and post nasal drip. The child may also suffer from conditions such as eczema, asthma, and migraine headaches, which can also be caused by food allergies. Many children with food allergies and chronic ear infections, however, will experience none of these symptoms.
Breast feeding babies is also an effective way to help prevent chronic ear infections. Babies that have been breast fed for four or more months have a reduced risk of developing chronic ear infections for about 12 months after breast feeding ends. Whether this is due to a reduction in food allergies or protective factors in the breast milk has yet to be determined.
Passive cigarette smoke also increases the risk of developing chronic ear infections, by as much as 30-40% in some studies.
Other treatments which may be effective in the treatment of chronic ear infections include N-acetyl cysteine (an anti-oxidant), cromolyn (a synthetic form of a natural bioflavonoid), and ear drops containing botanical medicines such as garlic and mullein.
While most children with chronic ear infections can be treated effectively with the above natural therapies, acute ear infections require prompt medical attention as they do occasionally progress to serious conditions such as mastoiditis and meningitis.
Ear infections are best managed using a comprehensive approach that includes dietary modifications, the appropriate use of herbal and nutritional supplements, and the treatment of any underlying conditions which may be exacerbating the condition.

PUBG MOBILE has confirmed which teams from each of the three included regions will be moving on from the semi finals to the regional finals, which includes 16 teams each from the North America, Europe, and India regions for a total of 48 teams altogether that have qualified to compete at the next level.
The regional finals competition will begin in June and kick off with the matches between teams from South America and Europe on June 1 and June 2 and move on from there, with the qualifying teams from each set of regional competition matches advancing to the Global Spring Split Finals competition which will take place in July in Berlin, Germany.
While it's still hard for some to see mobile Esports or even Esports in general as a thing, competitions like this one do well to showcase just how popular the whole of Esports has become. If any further proof was needed that mobile Esports has been gaining in popularity and making a name for itself as an event worth tuning into if you enjoy gaming, one doesn't need to look too much further than the prize pool provided for this competition which is over $2 million.
Clash Royale is another great example of the footprint that mobile Esports is leaving in the world of competitive gaming. With Clash Royale League West which started just a couple of days ago, 12 teams from the Western region face off against each other in hopes to make it to the world finals to compete against other regions and potentially win from a prize pool of over $1 million.
Vivo will be the official sponsor of the PUBG MOBILE Club Open at each event, so when teams arrive for their matches the devices they will be playing on will come from Vivo's most powerful stock to provide a smooth gaming experience during the competition.
With a prize pool of over $2 million it's not clear where exactly all of the prize money will be coming from, but it would make sense if Vivo had a small hand in it as sponsors often participate in adding to some of the money that makes up the winnings.
With the beginning date of the regional finals competition for the PUBG MOBILE Club Open now set and the rankings lists from the semi finals of each region having been released, both those in the competition as well as watching the competition can look forward to the action and excitement of the next phase.
In addition to the news of the semi finals team rankings and the qualifying teams from each region that will be moving on to the regional finals competition, Tencent and PUBG MOBILE also highlighted that the game has recently reached a total monthly active user count of 100 million players, which is by no means a small accomplishment.
It also shouldn't be too much of a shock considering the popularity of PUBG on PC, the platform that the franchise started on. Those wishing to keep tabs on the competition and watch each match, will be able to do so through the official PUBG MOBILE Esports YouTube Channel.

Nowadays, people are more comfortable with wireless networks. That is why the trend of establishing wireless has continued. Depending upon what type of connection you choose, you are given one or two network devices — the modem and the router. But, some people are still confused about the Modem Router difference.
One thing you must be very clear about is the nature of these two network devices. The router can establish a network between two devices. Whereas, the modem can convert the incoming signal. So, let’s get all the facts cleared.
The WiFi Router: A Brief Idea
A wireless router is a kind of device that receives incoming data packets. After that, according to the built-in bandwidth algorithm, it divides the data packets into various connected devices. There are several types of routers available. And, the basic one is the single antenna routers. You can use this type of router for normal internet surfing and downloading purposes. Whereas, the double and multi-antenna routers are used for commercial purposes. On the other hand, routers with more than two antennas are known as hybrid routers.
The Modem: A Converter’s Point of View
Modem, Modulation Demodulation is a device that helps you get a compatible internet connection/signal to your home. According to the experts, the modem also works as the signal converter.
Sometimes, it converts analog signals to digital signals. Internetworking technology has improved a lot, and most domestic Wi-Fi connections don’t need a modem. This doesn’t mean it has gone obsolete. Your ISP has the modem with them from where you’re receiving the internet connection.
Working Process of the Router and Modem
The Modem Router difference starts here. A router has a lot of features, whereas the modem has fewer features. The router runs with the help of a private IP. This means that nobody outside your private network will be able to see or access the IP. Compared to the modem, it runs with the help of a public IP. There is no harm if someone knows the public IP from where you are receiving the internet connection.
The router has a lot of features. It sets the local IP address for every connected device. Moreover, you can develop your firewall with the help of the router to get protection against threats. The device also has the capability to manipulate the network traffic. You can do this with the help of the router’s dedicated application. Lastly, it also helps you to restrict explicit websites from children.
The Modem Router Difference: Specifications
Both the modem and router perform certain tasks that are quite similar to each other. The similarities are the presence of LED lights. Both of them have Ethernet ports at the backside. The router, along with the modem, transmits data from the local server to your home network. Now, the LED lights are limited for both routers and modems. In addition to that, the Ethernet ports are less in numbers in modems when compared with routers.
This is because the router has the facility of providing a LAN connection. Whereas the modem doesn’t have this facility. Co-axial, DSL, optical fibre is the connection that is attached to the modem. Therefore, the modem only supports one main Ethernet port. The modem only uses WAN, and the router uses both LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi.
The Resetting Process
While understanding Modem vs Router fact, you must know that both the network devices have the Reset button. If you want to reset the modem, you have to press and hold down the button. But, in the case of the router, it is not so simple. After holding down the rest button, you need to re-configure the router depending upon the type of internet connection. In addition to that, you have to set up a name and assign a password in an encrypted format for securing the network and the router.
The Cable Modem and Cable Modem Router, Enter your Choice
Choosing a cable modem and a cable modem router is not that easy. The choice between these two devices is one of the important parts of the difference of Modem and Router. The cable modem is the normal network device that renders an internet connection to your home. Obviously, you know that it is the device that also converts the network signals.
On the other hand, the cable modem router is a two-in-one device that acts as a modem and a router. Most of the routers nowadays are two-in-one. In fact, they are all-in-one routers due to the presence of their A to Z network functions and features. Furthermore, the two-in-one or all-in-one routers are available online, and you can afford them easily.
Some internet connections providers provide the router and the modem separately. And, this makes you pay an extra amount of money for the modem along with the router, including the internet package price. Well, that’s quite some amount of money for expenses, right? So, what if you opt for the cable modem router. Hopefully, this is a great idea indeed.
How can you make your Wi-Fi better?
Everyone wants an uninterrupted internet connection. You need to follow certain steps for that. The modem and the router should be in one place. You must not move the device here and there. This type of activity might lead to faulty RJ-45 connectors.
Perform a speed test frequently. If you ever witness that the bandwidth is slow, call your ISP. Before calling, run a ping test and check the timing (in microseconds). Lastly, try to keep a few devices connected to the Wi-Fi to avoid network congestion.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Do you need a router if you have a modem?
Are modems or routers better?
A modem is essentially more crucial technically than a router because you couldn’t connect to the internet without it.

Rapid7’s Metasploit is the latest high profile website to fall foul of a pro-Palestinian group of hackers, who hijacked its DNS records.
And it seems the hackers used an old-fashioned fax message to commit their crime.
Metasploit, of course, is used by security professionals around the world to test corporate security systems, and verify that vulnerabilities have been properly fixed.
The KDMS Team managed to trick Register.com, who manage the DNS records for metasploit.com, into believing that they were authorised to change them – redirecting anyone attempting to visit the Metasploit site to a different part of the net, under the hackers’ control.
In short, if you attempted to visit metasploit.com your web browser would claim that you were on metasploit.com, but what you would see on the webpage would be very different than what the site’s legitimate owners would want.
After whatsapp , avira, alexa , avg and other sites
We was thinking about quitting hacking and disappear again ..!
But we said : there is some sites must be hacked
You are one of our targets
Therefore we are here ..
And there is another thing .. do you know Palestine?
DNS records work like a telephone book, converting human-readable website names like metasploit.com into a sequence of numbers understandable by the internet. If hackers manage to change a site’s DNS records, they can take you to a website that isn’t under the legitimate company’s control.
H D Moore, the Chief Research Officer of Rapid7 and driving force of Metasploit, has described on Twitter how the Metasploit site was hijacked:
Metasploit.com was hijacked through a spoofed change request FAXED to Register.com. Hacking like its 1964
Social engineering triumphs for the hackers once again.
The worry is, of course, that if Register.com can be fooled so easily into allowing hackers to mess with a site’s DNS entries – they could presumably do it with *any* website using Register.com’s services.
Surely companies like Register.com and Network Solutions need to be a little wiser about the possible tricks hackers could use to mess with their customers’ web visitors?

Punjabi Spurs is being backed by Kick It Out and the Football Supporters’ Federation’s ‘Fans for Diversity’ fund and will be delivering a coaching clinic for young people in the Punjab region of India next year with the help of Spurs legends Clive Allen and Micky Hazard.
Its chairman, Josh Sandhu, spoke during the half-time interval, and was then followed by a Spurs-themed Diwali performance from VP Bhangra – a renowned Punjabi dance troupe that has performed at events including the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.
It was the first time in Premier League history, where a group of Bhangra Dancers have performed on a football pitch, and with Wembley the biggest stage of them all, it was a huge achievement for the group.
The Diwali celebrations continue this week with Ledley King a special guest at the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha temple’s Diwali event in Southall on Thursday 19 October.
The Club has also sponsored Wembley’s festive lights this year that will be switched on the following day to mark Diwali and remain throughout the Christmas period until the New Year.
BritAsia TV were delighted be part of the festivities and history, and will be airing the highlights from the game on BritAsia TV.

Former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, under Comrade Aliu Oshiomhole, Osagie Obayuwana, SAN, has lamented the backwardness, incompetence exhibited by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration since he assumed leadership of the country. He therefore called for a leader who is competent to handle issues to transform the country.
Obayuwana who was the keynote speaker at a book launch/public presentation of a book, titled “Poverty of Nigerian Elites” organized by Prof. Lawrence Bratte. Bratre author of the work, is a lecturer at the University of Benin, Benin city Obayuwana, said at these are perilous times where by nothing in the country works as a result of bad leadership in all aspects of the economy.”
In his remarks, the Chairman of the book launch, Engr. (Dr.) Okwara Udensi, described the book as a well researched book which encompasses every area of our life.
Udensi, who is also the Chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), of Edo-Delta branch, urged the participants at the event who have no PVCs to go and register online on theINEC Portal, to enable them vote out bad leaders ahead of the 2023 general polls.
He lamented that there is no good and speedy progress in Nigeria, as a matter of bad leadership.

With the roads clear in my rural part of the county a day after the blizzard of 2011, I fully expected the nation’s second busiest airport of O’Hare to be ready for business and a short flight to Columbus. The Woodworking Shows would be held there and I intended to arrive early in the day on Thursday and get a little exploration of the area in before going to the venue. Couldn’t have been more wrong! My 7 AM flight would be cancelled and rescheduled a couple of times and finally leave 13 hours later at 8 PM. Even though I would be late, the venue in Columbus was open and ready thanks to all the people behind the scenes. The decorating crews and the over the road truck drivers and show staff didn’t have the luxury of a simple flight but proved to be as dependable as ever. The show’s success is due to these unsung heroes.
The woodworkers would show up in droves as the show opened in the fairgrounds that have been our host for years. Packed into the entryway, they were a sign that this would be another successful show in the Big 10 part of the season. In addition to the number and diversity of the educational areas, there were a couple of unique draws this weekend. Insight Toolworks and co-owner Dick Rhodes, introduced their new version of a track saw.
Using your own circular saw, this system utilizes a proprietary base and track to make splinter free cuts in any material regardless of size. Anti slip track edges can be used with or without clamps. Even the workbench top was innovative. Inexpensive one by fours attached to their own tracks provided a solid base that was easy to position.
One of these most interesting booths I found was that of the Columbus Idea Foundry. Director, Alex Bandar, talked about this community workshop that teaches welding, blacksmithing, CNC use, laser cutting and 3D printing to prepare individuals for the new job markets as the economy and industry morph in coming years. To add interest, some of the projects have taken on a life of their own. Tool racing has an entirely new twist to say the least. Racers powered by circular saws and grinder blades have to be seen to be believed.
With a workshop motto of “Knowledge, Talent and Mischief” no one should be surprised by the creativity that is encouraged. Their marketing poster and trophy kind of sum it up. Could there ever be a better reason to think “don’t try this at home”?
The Show Off Showcase also had a number of nice entries this last weekend. Leading the pack was the first place prize winner Phillip Traudt and his trusty steed “Carousel Rocking Horse”.
Placing second was this “Collectors Display Case by Jim Rogers. Coming in and showing third was a “Wine Cabinet” by Anthony Stineburg.
These three took home a Bosch power tool and Phillip will compete in the finals in Houston the first weekend in April.
This weekend, Ralph Jones, WOOD’s woodworking forum moderator, spent time in my booth greeting those attendees who search out his site with answers to their more vexing problems. I wish he had been there on Sunday to identify this rather odd tool.
Though I can’t predict what the rest of the winter weather has in store and its impact of my well planned travel, I do know that the Woodworking Shows will have the doors open without fail in all of the upcoming cities. Next up is St. Louis and then on to Milwaukee. A good deal of effort goes into these weekends by all those interested in making sure that you have a great experience. Stop in and let us show you what we’re made of. And oh, think sunny, warm and dry thoughts.
‘Til then, I’ll see you on the road.

The Eggpire Strikes Back: A Tales of the Cocktail Seminar Preview
The renaissance of pre-prohibition cocktails has, as we know, also meant a resurgence of interest in many “old-timey” ingredients and techniques. I’m thinking that it’s possible that no single reclaimed ingredient has been as mainstreamed as much as the egg, both in the form of whites, which contribute body and a lovely crown of lather, or when used whole, to make a creamy flip or nog. In the San Francisco bay area I would say most bars with a respectable bar program will offer at least one egg white-based cocktail.
The question may reasonably be asked, however, whether we’ve yet brought the egg completely into the modern mixological lexicon. Are there secrets yet for us to uncover? And what of the chemistry and physics involved: would knowing more about what’s inside the shell help use make better egg cocktails? Those inclined to delve more deeply into these and other ‘egg-centric’ questions would be well advised to a) get themselves to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail 2010, b) stay until Sunday July 25th and c) attend the seminar entitled “The Eggpire Strikes Back” moderated by Timo Janse with panelists Andrew Nicholls and Henrick Hammer. The seminar runs from 12:30 to 2:00 PM.
I exchanged a few emails with Timo to find out more about what he’s got planned for his seminar. I think one of the topics that will be of most particular interest to bartenders is the matter of storage. If you work in a bar that’s part of a restaurant then it’s very likely that the eggs to which you have access will always be fresh and handled properly by the kitchen staff. If, however, you are directly responsible for purchasing, storing and handling the eggs at your bar, then the practices which Timo and company intend to review will be most useful.
I also asked Timo about the inspiration for this seminar. He says that since he’s been working with eggs at door 74 (where he tends bar in Amsterdam) he’s found it to be an ingredient around which there much confusion and which, consequentially, many people fear. He felt it was his “duty to spread the word” and to defend this beautiful product of nature.
Timo was also kind enough to share a recipe for an egg-based cocktail about which he’s particularly excited right now. It’s an original creation, clearly intended for dessert!
2 ounces Meukow vanilla cognac
1 whole egg
3/4 ounce Mulata Elisir de Ron (*)
1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce Homemade pineapple syrup (**)
2 dashes Fee Bros. Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters
1 barspoon super fine sugar
Shake all ingredients except the sugar over ice.
Strain into a ceramic cup.
Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the cocktail.
Caramelize the sugar using a kitchen torch.
* – Timo tells me this is a creamy rum-based caramel flavored liqueur. Unfortunately, it’s not available in the US. There are two possible substitutes: Dulseda dulce de leche liqueur from Argentina (imported by Diageo) and Bailey’s caramel. For a rather different effect you could also try Godiva caramel liqueur, though this contains chocolate.
** – Timo did not provide a recipe for pineapple syrup. If you are inclined to make this yourself, there are several recipes available on the web. The one from Imbibe (link) looks very easy—though I have not tested it myself. Otherwise you could try to find Small Hand Food’s pineapple gum (which I recommend) or the product made by Monin, which contains no corn syrup.

I know all the special & unique abilities that we have is given by Allah. But at the same time, I always wonder whether we parents, women especially , can contribute more to boost our children's IQ right before they are born . Meaning is it possible that we boost our children's IQ before conception?
Answer to that question , Yes! And there are more things we women can do actually for the benefit of our children. Infact we should be doing it before we get ourselves pregnant. No wonder the doctors advise us to get our body in better shape for pregnancy 3 months before conception of the feotus. It's all about the food that we eat, the lifestyle we have to change ( both us & our partner too ) , our surrounding/environment , everything!
I was shocked to read that smokes could reduce fertility of baby boys! Yikes! Imagine they blaming us mothers on this thing later in life!Also when mothers smoke during one pregnancy and not the other, the baby exposed to maternal smoking has a lower IQ than the one not exposed. Smoking not only lowers the IQ but mothers who smoke during pregnancy have a 50% greater chance of having a child with mental retardation. OMG! Scary isn't it?
Second-hand smoker? I dont think we want a lower birth weight for our unborn children, do we?Low birth weight and being small for gestational age are two leading risk factors for cerebral palsy which means a collection of movement disorders. ;(
And we have to be stress free! Doesn't matter if we are working women or not. The main point is that no stress for pregnant women. A bit of stress is no good for our baby's IQ. And when our baby's IQ is lower, so is our children's language development. Even moving to a new house is not a good idea at all for pregnant women. We may say that we have engaged the housemovers to do all the necessary packing & transfering our stuffs. But we still be thinking this & that of the whole process of moving into a new house. There will always be reasons to worry about ...
What about caffeinated drinks? Like what this website said :
When you're pregnant or trying for a baby, experts recommend that you cut down on the amount of caffeine you consume. This is because studies have shown that having more than 300mg per day appears to be linked to an increased risk of having a miscarriage, a low birthweight baby or an infant with birth defects.
I know it's hard to be caffeine-free as its in our tea, coffee, chocolate, cola, energy drinks and even cold remedies and painkillers. But it wont be that hard to avoid when we put our children future language development close to our hearts. It's better to act now then feeling regret later .
Fish and seafood? Eat oily fish like salmon, sardines, trout and mackerel, ideally at least 2-3 times a week during pregnancy. Avoid eating shark, swordfish, tilefish and Spanish mackerel and you’ll be fine. And try to limit our seafood intake during pregnancy so as to avoid trace contaminants of toxins like mercury. Research did show that the risk is negligible, but avoiding seafood risks your child having a lower IQ and problems with social development.
I guess the key here is moderation .We either stay away from these food or lower the intake..
the mysterious case of missing pencils

About an hour into the film I had to leave. My anxiety and distress level was getting too high - artificially elevated, albeit; after all, I was only watching images on a screen.
Still I couldn't stand to watch any more images of dirty, bruised, traumatized, starving youngsters in soldier's uniforms being blown partially or completely to bits.
Maybe I could have hung in there if the film's story line had been fiction. But the terrible story told in "Land of Mine" was based on history.
During the Nazi occupation of Denmark from 1940-1945 the German army buried 2.2 million land mines along the Danish coastline, turning that country's beaches into death traps upon the belief that the Allied invasion would occur along those beaches.
After Germany lost the war 2,000 German prisoners of war, many of them teenagers who'd been conscripted in desperation by the Third Reich during its dying days, were handed over to the Danish army and forced to clear the beaches of the mines buried by their army. Over half of those soldiers were killed trying to defuse the mines.
- The soldiers being brutalized by the Sergeant were scarcely more than children, as were many German soldiers by the end of the war; and yet how much more pitilessly were Jewish children brutalized and murdered by German soldiers?
- The POW's who were sentenced to the Danish minefields after the war may have had nothing to do with Nazi war atrocities, the occupation of Denmark or the mining of that country's beaches; they likely had no choice in being drafted into Hitler's army; were they aggressors or victims of Hitler's war?
- Was forcing war prisoners to risk their lives and limbs from mines that their army planted to destroy the lives and limbs of others justice or injustice? If not German soldiers, whose task should it have been to disarm the mines? The Danes, who'd already suffered their share of death and misery under the German occupation?
All those questions swirled through my mind as I watched the movie. Until I left the theater halfway through.
As I sat out in the lobby waiting for Tom, who's neither as jumpy nor as squeamish as myself, I wondered why anybody even felt the need to make a movie on such an awful subject as World War II minefields.
But later it occurred to me that this is a film that looks at not only the horror but the moral conundrum of war and serves as a cautionary tale of how much longer the hatred for the invader lives on after the war is over.
I can understand the value of such a film. I just don't want to see it.

These people are vegetarians, and they are the new breed of healthy Americans who refuse to poison themselves with fats, cholesterol, and the other harmful additives that come from meat.
Need a paper on the same topic? The purpose of this paper is to review the literature relating to the changes in American diet in the twentieth century. But vegetarian food is among some of the healthiest foods available to mankind, and while there is no easy way to determine the extent to which a vegetarian diet can influence the health of those that follow its guidelines, the evidence is very indicative that it may be an important contributing factor.
There are healthier alternatives to the meat eating that nearly every member of our society has been weaned on, and those alternatives all include the consumption of more vegetables and the absence of meats. The beef, turkey, pork and other meat industries have also had to adapt their methods Essay on american diet "production" in order to keep up with the demands of omnivores.

Putting it together… With these adjustments, in actuality, the average American is producing, each year on average… The amount of cholesterol of a lacto-ovo vegetarian is about to mg of cholesterol per day compared to the mg of cholesterol that an omnivore consumes Messina In the widest sense of the word, a vegetarian diet is a diet that is made up of grains, vegetables and fruit, but does not include any animal flesh, such as fish, pork, poultry, or beef.
People should be encouraged to consume whole wheat bread, brown rice, legumes and more fresh leafy vegetables, which are high in fiber and more filling.
Moreover, he insists that the scientist explanation about the American food will not in any way help in sorting the malnutrition issues facing the Americans Pollan, Leonardo Da Vinci said "the time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men" Robbins He explains that the risks of relying on nutrition theories are that it only satisfies our curiosity and acts as a tool for increasing profits for the processing and medical industries as they embark on continuous modification of their products Pollan, The reason for this can be that many youngsters either skip there breakfast or lunch, or tend to eat easy and fast food which is readily available in the market to overcome their hunger.
Every person should carefully read the label to know what the tin contains, before purchasing any food item. Professor Irving Fisher of Yale designed a series of tests in which he compared the strength and stamina of meat-eaters against vegetarians, with three groups of individuals represented: As John Robbins accurately writes, "the raising of chickens in the United States today is not, however, a process which overflows with compassion for these animals" The American Diet Essay - We Are What We Eat: American Diet In comparison to other countries, the American diet remains undoubtedly too low in fiber, fruits, and vegetables, yet is entirely too high in calories, fats, added sugars, sodium, and grains.

Recent events provide ample proof of the fragility of cities, territories and airport nodes when they come face-to-face with extreme and unexpected events. The Coronavirus pandemic, for example, has caused a complete disruption in the air network. Climate change, recurrent floods, rising seas, desertification, land impoverishment and, more generally, extreme meteorological events can temporarily or permanently compromise mobility networks and spaces. Airports are, in fact, highly vulnerable elements of infrastructure that require precise adaptation and mitigation strategies at various levels. What role can urban and landscape planning play in future decisions regarding new infrastructural sites and the adaptation of old infrastructure to climatic change and possible new functions?

Food security has always been a concern for India. Despite having the largest stock of grain in the world — 120 million tonnes. Even before the pandemic, India had the highest number of undernourished people globally. According to the latest edition of the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report, between 2018-2020, food insecurity in India rose by about 6.8 percentage points.
The biggest challenge to food security is ensuring that all people have access to enough food to lead productive lives and Food Science has great potential to address the various dimensions of Food Security. If utilized optimally, new and existing technologies can help us raise crop and livestock productivity, improve soil fertility and increase the amount of food produced.
Watch the video below to learn more about how food science can solve India’s food security issues.
