Although Tripp Lite’s USB 3.1 USB-C Multi-Drive Flash Memory Media Reader has similar speeds to the Unitek, its microSD port suffers from the same misalignment as the one on our runner-up pick, it’s missing an indicator light, and it costs nearly twice as much as the Unitek.
Doubling the storage space of the 16GB variety, the Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB features the same high-speed spec, but with even more space. Perfect for the avid videographer shooting lots of high quality videos, at a great price.

Once you know what formats you can pick from, you’ll want to think about what you’ll be using your device to do. Different tasks require varying amounts of card capacity and write speed (both explained below):
Pre-loaded content – In 2006, SanDisk announced Gruvi, a microSD card with extra digital rights management features, which they intended as a medium for publishing content. SanDisk again announced pre-loaded cards in 2008, under the slotMusic name, this time not using any of the DRM capabilities of the SD card. In 2011, SanDisk offered various collections of 1000 songs on a single slotMusic card for about $40, now restricted to compatible devices and without the ability to copy the files.
NAND flash also uses floating-gate transistors, but they are connected in a way that resembles a NAND gate: several transistors are connected in series, and the bit line is pulled low only if all the word lines are pulled high (above the transistors’ VT). These groups are then connected via some additional transistors to a NOR-style bit line array in the same way that single transistors are linked in NOR flash.
I’ve long been a fan of Sandisk, and have faithfully used their compact flash memory cards in all my digital cameras, so imagine my surprise to have two 16 GB and two 32 GB cards fail in two different Samsung Galaxy SIII phones so far, taking all data with them. The cards cannot be accessed or formatted, either in the phone or on the computer. I’ve finally contacted Sandisk support, but after reading a lot of review on the web concerning this issue (and trying all the various workarounds posted), I’m not confident that Sandisk will be able to help me. There frankly should be NO WAY for an SD interface to make a card unusable, short of physically destroying it with overvoltage, period. I’m an embedded systems engineer (30+ years experience) and there is NO EXCUSE for Sandisk cards failing like this, unless the phone is doing something evil electrically to them. Please beware, and back up your files often, because it WILL FAIL eventually.
Micro SD cards were initially a popular method of storing images in mobile phones. In actual size they are the smallest commercially available memory card at 15×11×1mm but can store up to 2GB of information. The Micro SDHC versions are able to store much larger files from 4GB-32GB. Micro SD cards are now more commonly seen in GPS systems and MP3 players, however a small number of digital cameras (recent Samsung compact models) are also compatible with them.
The microSD card has helped propel the smartphone market by giving both manufacturers and consumers greater flexibility and freedom.[according to whom?] Due to their compact size, microSD cards are used in many[which?] different applications in a large variety[which?] of markets. Action cameras, such as the GoPRO’s Hero and cameras in drones, frequently use microSD cards.
The SD and Micro SD work perfectly fine in this reader, and the transfer speeds are very impressive; instant, actually. It would take my old Galaxy S II about two minutes to sync with my [then] car once starting it, with about 2-6GB of music on it at any given time. My reader syncs my 7.25 GB collection as soon as I turn the engine over. and the quick, efficient sync has been consistent with every subsequent car I’ve used it in.
With sales sagging and millions of unsold consoles in stock, Nintendo halted GameCube production for the first nine months of 2003 to reduce surplus units. Sales rebounded slightly after a price drop to US$99.99 on September 24, 2003 and the release of The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition bundle. A demo disc, the Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc, was also released in a bundle in 2003. Beginning with this period, GameCube sales continued to be steady, particularly in Japan, but the GameCube remained in third place in worldwide sales during the sixth generation era because of weaker sales performance elsewhere.
I think it’s pretty cool you can use standard SD and Micro SD in it, but I opted to use my 16GB Micro SDHC from my old phone because standard SD sticks WAY out (be sure to insert the Micro SD upside down). The Micro SD still sticks out from the side of the reader about 1/4″, and I’m curious to know why they couldn’t have designed the reader to accept Micro SD from the rear of it so you won’t accidentally tug on it when inserting/removing the reader.
Despite the additional transistors, the reduction in ground wires and bit lines allows a denser layout and greater storage capacity per chip. (The ground wires and bit lines are actually much wider than the lines in the diagrams.) In addition, NAND flash is typically permitted to contain a certain number of faults (NOR flash, as is used for a BIOS ROM, is expected to be fault-free). Manufacturers try to maximize the amount of usable storage by shrinking the size of the transistors.
In the definition of SDHC cards in version 2.0, the C_SIZE portion of the CSD is 22 bits and it indicates the memory size in multiples of 512 KB (the C_SIZE_MULT field is removed and READ_BL_LEN is no longer used to compute capacity). Two bits that were formerly reserved now identify the card family: 0 is SDSC; 1 is SDHC or SDXC; 2 and 3 are reserved. Because of these redefinitions, older host devices do not correctly identify SDHC or SDXC cards nor their correct capacity.
4 card slots support most xD-picture card, compactflash and secure digital and memory stick formats, including secure digital high capacity, SDXC, microSD, memory stick micro, memory stick PRO and memory stick duo
The SD/MicroSD/MMC Card Reader/Writer is a solution for hi-speed, bi-directional image and data transfer. Images and data can be transferred quickly from Secure Digital Card (SD), MultiMedia Card (MMC), or MicroSD memory cards to PCs or Macs. This is particularly useful in many applications, including digital cameras, video cameras, mobile phones, MP3, and other mobile devices. This item is an ideal way to bridge the gap between your desktop computer and other CE products.

Several manufacturers make microSD cards and they consume different amounts of electrical power. Most are in the range of 0-100 mA at a supply voltage of 3.3 V. TwinMos technologies says that the cards carry a maximum of 45 mA during transfer. Toshiba lists 80-100 mA.
With its fast data rates and reliable performance, the SanDisk Ultra CompactFlash Memory Card helps you get the most out of your camera, camcorders and other devices that support CompactFlash memory cards. This CompactFlash card comes in capacities of up to 32GB2, so you can keep shooting without worrying about running out of space.
The Cable Matters USB 3.1 Type-C Dual Slot Card Reader is the best option if you don’t need a CF card reader—it performed just as well as our top picks, and it’s cheaper, too. Though it doesn’t support CF cards, it has slots for both SD and microSD cards, and it can read two cards at once. (Though the Cable Matters loses much more speed than the Unitek when transferring data from both cards concurrently). It’s smaller and lighter than both of our top picks, and like the Unitek, the Cable Matters has an indicator light so you know when it’s in use. It comes with a one-year warranty.
The Kingston had read and write speeds of 159 MB/s and 127 MB/s, respectively, during our SD card test. In our microSD card test, it had expected read and write speeds of 83 MB/s and 69 MB/s. It was a bit slower when reading and writing to a CF card, with speeds of 127 MB/s and 107 MB/s.
I searched for advice on how to fix this – consensus seemed to be to uninstall the SDA driver and reinstall it. Fine – except I cannot find a place to download the driver! I have an integrated SD Card reader in my ASUS X012B Notebook PC
In 2008, the SDA specified Embedded SD, “leverag[ing] well-known SD standards” to enable non-removable SD-style devices on printed circuit boards. However this standard was not adopted by the market while the MMC standard became the de facto standard for embedded systems. SanDisk provides such embedded memory components under the iNAND brand.
ArtX was acquired by ATI in April 2000, whereupon the Flipper graphics processor design had already been mostly completed by ArtX and was not overtly influenced by ATI. In total, ArtX team cofounder Greg Buchner recalled that their portion of the console’s hardware design timeline had arced from inception in 1998 to completion in 2000. Of ATI’s acquisition of ArtX, an ATI spokesperson said, “ATI now becomes a major supplier to the game console market via Nintendo. The Dolphin platform is reputed to be king of the hill in terms of graphics and video performance with 128-bit architecture.”

After researching nearly 50 card readers and testing 15 over the past year, we found that the Unitek USB-C Card Reader is the best option for anyone who needs an SD card reader for a new laptop with USB-C ports. The Unitek delivered fast, consistent speeds in a compact, easy-to-use package, and it supports SD, microSD, and CF cards.
Reading from NOR flash is similar to reading from random-access memory, provided the address and data bus are mapped correctly. Because of this, most microprocessors can use NOR flash memory as execute in place (XIP) memory, meaning that programs stored in NOR flash can be executed directly from the NOR flash without needing to be copied into RAM first. NOR flash may be programmed in a random-access manner similar to reading. Programming changes bits from a logical one to a zero. Bits that are already zero are left unchanged. Erasure must happen a block at a time, and resets all the bits in the erased block back to one. Typical block sizes are 64, 128, or 256 KiB.

Due to its relatively simple structure and high demand for higher capacity, NAND flash memory is the most aggressively scaled technology among electronic devices. The heavy competition among the top few manufacturers only adds to the aggressiveness in shrinking the design rule or process technology node. While the expected shrink timeline is a factor of two every three years per original version of Moore’s law, this has recently been accelerated in the case of NAND flash to a factor of two every two years.
Read speed determines how fast data can be retrieved from the card. A faster read speed means you can more quickly transfer data from the card onto a computer or printer. Faster read speeds decrease your wait time so you can edit, save and share faster. For example, if you were shooting weddings, or doing work where you’d have to download a large amount of large raw image files to the computer, you’d want a higher read speed. However, read speed is really more of a convenience, whereas your primary focus should be write speed when you’re looking for a memory card.
When executing software from NAND memories, virtual memory strategies are often used: memory contents must first be paged or copied into memory-mapped RAM and executed there (leading to the common combination of NAND + RAM). A memory management unit (MMU) in the system is helpful, but this can also be accomplished with overlays. For this reason, some systems will use a combination of NOR and NAND memories, where a smaller NOR memory is used as software ROM and a larger NAND memory is partitioned with a file system for use as a non-volatile data storage area.
Allow me a tiny bit of backstory here: when I transitioned over from one mobile OS to another (from Android to WP8), I completely lost my USB audio streaming because my [then] car (a 2011 KIA Forte), only read audio from devices that allow USB Mass Storage upon device connect (Android does, WP8 doesn’t, it uses Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), unreadable in every USB enabled car *I’ve* driven). It was was dangerous streaming music via my car’s Bluetooth because that car only allows volume control via that method, I had to pick up my phone to change songs or reach over to the windshield mount and fumble with it that way. Totally unsafe, the focus should be on driving

The Ganges Has Been Washing Up Hundreds (Not Dozens) of Bodies for Decades. How Is This News?
It is religiously desirable to cremate the body and deposit the ashes into the river but the very poor often skip the first step
Editor’s note: Suddenly mere “dozens” of bodies (in a country of 1.4 billion) are huge news.
Yet as the 2015 Newsweek article that follows explains, the Ganges washing up even hundreds of bodies is not uncommon.
One day in January 2015, black crows began to fill the gray sky like wild brushstrokes, so a group of villagers decided to investigate. The birds were circling something, and as the villagers approached they heard the guttural growl of dogs, all teeth and rib cage, scrapping for the last tug of tendon. That’s when they found a floating mass grave of more than 100 corpses washed up in a canal that connects to the Ganges River.
The macabre event lent itself well to sensationalization; each headline that came out in the week following ferried me back to June 2013, when Raghvendra “Nandan” Upadhyay, a local journalist and tour guide, greeted me before leading me through his hometown by saying: “Welcome to the city of learning and burning, of light and death. Welcome to Varanasi.”
Situated on the west bank of the Ganges River—referred to in Hindi as Ma Ganga (Mother Ganga), or simply Ganga—in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is India’s oldest city and thought to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Mark Twain, upon visiting in the 1890s, quipped that it’s “older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together!”
Varanasi is also the religious capital of India and Hinduism. “Millions of Hindus want to die or at least have their ashes spread in the Ganges here,” said Nandan. “In doing so, they believe they can break the perpetual cycle of samsara, of birth and rebirth, and thus achieve moksha, eternal liberation.”
That’s why dead bodies are burning 24 hours a day there, seven days a week. “This same fire has been going for 3,000 years,” said a worker at Manikarnika Ghat, the most famous riverside cremation site in Varanasi. “We average anywhere from 30 to 100 bodies per day. Each takes about three hours.” The corpses are covered in ghee (clarified butter), laid atop wooden planks, layered with ornate cloth, briefly dipped in the Ganges and then carried to the open-air pit and lit aflame.
Death is big business here. There are hotels, such as Kashi Labh Mukti Bhavan, that accept only occupants expected to die within 15 days. And according to Uttar Pradesh’s official data, tourism is on the rise, with thousands coming every month to watch this theater of death along the Ganges. And while workers at Manikarnika Ghat will tell you that families can pay “based on means,” there is immense pressure to buy the right kind of wood for these cremations (sandalwood, for example, offers a better burn and therefore, it is believed, means a better shot at moksha). In the end, a body can cost a family 7,000 Indian rupees ($109) to burn—over 15 percent of the average Indian’s yearly wage.
It’s why many families deposit their recently deceased directly into the Ganges or into a channel that will lead to it. Liberating the soul of a loved one is worth running the risk that the body ends up being picked apart by carrion birds and wild dogs. The problem, really, is when the scavenging animals don’t come, and the bodies are left to rot in the river.
“All of this,” Nandan said as we watched the funeral rituals from our rowboat, “the economics, the ritual, the history, the bodies burned or simply dumped, the families over there bathing to wash away their sins, all of this is because of my country’s deep belief in Ganga. Respect for Ganga is what truly unites India.”
The infamously polluted body of water begins in the Himalayan town of Devprayag and winds throughout the country for over 1,500 miles before draining into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges River basin, according to Colorado State University fluvial geoscientist Ellen Wohl, supports a staggering 10 percent of the world’s population. This includes all ways in which the water is used for survival: for growing rice and other crops, bathing, drinking, providing fish and other animals as a food source, and more.
The mythological story of Ganga the self-cleaning river god—she lived in heaven but chose to live on earth to purify the sins of all those she came in contact with—fuels countless festivals and holidays in India. Tragically, though, it’s often respect for Ganga the god that leads to disrespect for Ganges the river.
As I sat in the boat with Nandan that morning, I wasn’t struck so much by the burning bodies as by how, in water just a few feet from floating corpses, young boys rinsed their mouths and spat the water high into the air. Yogis and meditators devoted their morning service to worshipping Ganga, but in the afternoon were throwing their candy bar wrappers and plastic bottles into it.
Thousands joined in the Ganga Aarti festival, a spiritual gathering that happens every day at dusk for worshippers to receive Ganga’s blessing. And that’s when I realized how bad things really were: The celebratory rituals used to laud the Ganga involve poisoning her.
We were all packed in so tight to watch the Ganga Aarti performances that I could see only a few inches of the river in the spaces between the rowboats. This was the space that served as receptacle: I watched as people stuffed these gaps with their cigarettes and cigarette boxes, empty juice containers, receipts—whatever they wanted to get rid of ended up in the Ganges. It was as though we weren’t on water but instead on some kind of swaying land of trash.
What’s flowing beneath the surface is much worse: Millions of gallons of industrial effluents and raw sewage drain into the Ganges each day. The results are devastating. Diarrhea, often caused by exposure to fecal matter, kills 600,000 Indians per year, and waterborne diseases throughout the Ganges River basin, many a result of the polluted waters, cost families $4 billion per year. Sanitation and water pollution issues cause 80 percent of the diseases that afflict rural Indians.
The pollution has also slowed down or made stagnant many once free-flowing areas of the Ganges. Stagnation is where the mosquitos thrive, and with mosquitos comes malaria. The deadliest form of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, is on the rise in India, and the worst may be yet to come: Dr. François H. Nosten of the Shoklo Malaria Research Unit in Thailand believes the drug-resistant strain of the disease-causing parasite his team is struggling to combat in Southeast Asia is “bound to spill over into India.” This form of malaria is perhaps the world’s most pressing global health issue, and if India cannot clean up the Ganges the country could be setting itself up for a catastrophe. And this is to say nothing of dengue, which is endemic all over India, and of chikungunya, a viral disease of which India has had several outbreaks in the past few years.
The pollution has become so grotesque that in May of this year my taxi driver in Delhi went through a list of places I could visit, and after mentioning World Heritage Sites like the Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb, he suggested I go see “Yamuna foam,” the toxic foam of chemicals and urine coating large swaths of Delhi’s portion of the Yamuna River, the largest tributary of the Ganges. Tourists in India’s big cities now flock to see how bad the country’s waterways have become, while up and down the river, things are only getting worse.
There’s a widespread belief that the destitute people living along the river destroy it the most. But Sonali Mittra, of the Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation, a nonprofit think tank involved in regional and transboundary resource management of water, says the data do not bear this out. “The poor or vulnerable river communities are often viewed as the major polluters,” she says, “but much research indicates that it is industries and urban centers who are more responsible.”
Follow the Ganges along its winding route from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, and you’ll encounter a veritable catalog of these pollution types. Haridwar is about 60 miles southwest of Devprayag. It’s regarded as one of the seven holy places for Hindus, and it’s here where the Ganges enters the plains of Northern India. It’s also where, on May 23, 2015, the Radisson Blu hotel had its utilities shut off for about 36 hours by the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) after it was caught dumping untreated water from its drains into the Ganges.
Many viewed the actions taken against the Radisson as heartening evidence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s passion to clean the Ganges. Maybe, they said, his Cabinet’s declaration of 2015-2016 as Jal Kranti Varsh, or Water Revolution Year, was more than just a clever political move. Uma Bharti, Modi’s “Ganga rejuvenation minister,” has even set a goal that the Ganges will be clean within two years.
SPCB regional officer Ankur Kansal told The Times of India, “We have made it very clear to them that untreated water flowing into the Ganga will not be tolerated.” But a hotel manager, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of damaging the Radisson’s relationship with government regulators, tells me that after dealing with the SPCB for four years, he is confident that the hotel “will not receive any fine” and “will not receive any sanctions.”
Kanpur is 320 miles southeast of Haridwar. It’s a major industrialized city where, according to Murali Prasad Panta at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, “Nearly 70 percent of the people who use Ganga’s waters will become sickened by waterborne diseases caused by the sewage upstream.”
Kanpur’s dirty little secret is its underground cow-slaughtering market. Reverence for the cow is found in nearly all of Hinduism’s major texts. For the most part, people treat them as pets that provide milk, and generally beef isn’t eaten in India. But when the sun sets in Kanpur, the silent slaughtering begins. Despite the countrywide respect for cows and the laws in some regions that carry a seven-year prison term for those caught killing them, India is home to an estimated 3,100 illegal slaughterhouses that export cow meat under the guise of buffalo meat to hide the sacrilege. The country is also the world’s largest exporter of leather. Kanpur, known as the “Leather City of the World,” is at the center of this lucrative industry.
There are 700 tanneries on the banks of the Ganges here, many pumping dangerous levels of sulfuric acid, chromium, arsenic and mercury into the river. According to India’s National Green Tribunal, these tanneries are one of the worst sources of pollution to the Ganges; cancer rates are higher in these areas, and it’s believed that many children have gone blind as a result of the industry.
“In Kanpur, the river is effectively dead,” says Rakesh Jaiswal, an Ashoka Fellow and environmental activist. “No one ever thought this would happen. This is the water we believe holy, yet we remain silent at its desecration.”
Toilets Before Temples
About 1,100 miles from Kanpur, in the state of West Bengal, is Sagar Island, where the Ganges drains into the Bay of Bengal. Millions of Hindus make the pilgrimage here at least once in their lifetime to pay respect to Ganga before she makes her way into the ocean. This is especially true during the Gangasagar Mela, an event in mid-January to celebrate Ganga’s descent from heaven. It’s one of the largest annual gatherings in the world, and well over 500,000 Hindus dip themselves in the water to purify their souls.
It’s one of the area’s main sources of income. But it’s also devastating for the environment. “The load of human waste in Gangasagar Mela is colossal with so many people defecating and bathing within three days on a 4-square-kilometer stretch,” Tuhin Ghosh, a researcher at the School of Oceanographic Studies at Jadavpur University, told the Times of India.”The carrying capacity of Sagar Island is exceeded several thousand times during this brief period, and the resultant pollution causes environmental degradation. Each Mela pushes environmental parameters closer to the brink.”
These problems will only continue to worsen. India’s population is growing. With it, water needs are skyrocketing: The International Water Management Institute estimates that water demand in the country will increase 32 percent by 2050. And though India is in the midst of a tech revolution, bolstered by a population set to surpass China by 2028 and developments such as its impressive space program, there has been little investment in technology to save the country’s 5,219 miles of water that are, according to environmental journalist Chetan Chauhan of Hindustan Times, ” not fit to support aquatic life” due to pollution. The water is so bad that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature declared the Ganges-swimming India river dolphin, the country’s official national aquatic animal, as functionally extinct in 2007.
There are some signs that things might be improving. There are now some radical cleanup efforts underway using innovative machines such as the floating trash skimmer made by Cleantec Infra. The skimmer moves through the use of two basic paddle wheels, and its two hydraulic gates pull trash onto a conveyor belt. Namami Gange, a government-led water conservation mission, has used the machine during celebratory events involving millions of Indians, and efforts are underway to continue advancing upon this technology.
Professor B.D. Tripathi of Banaras Hindu University pioneered Ganga pollution research initiatives in the early ’70s and has been studying the river’s decline ever since. So it’s reassuring that he is filled with hope. “Modi is the first prime minister of India who has shown his dedication for Mother Ganga and created a separate ministry for its rejuvenation,” he says. “I hope he will succeed in his efforts. Over 450 million people rely on the Ganga. Saving the Ganga is the saving of humanity.”
When Modi took office in May 2014, he famously thanked two mothers. In Gandhinagar, the capital of the state of Gujarat in Western India, he thanked his mother, Heeraben Modi. After receiving her blessings, he traveled nearly 900 miles east to Varanasi, and along the banks where 96 percent consider the water unsafe to drink , he thanked the Ganges for its strength. With that, he claimed he would clean the river by October 2019, the 150th anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth.
He’s also sticking to the “toilets before temples” mantra that he’s repeated on the national stage since his election. There are 600 million people in India who don’t use toilets, and much of that human waste ends up in the river; a U.N. report in 2010 revealed that while 45 percent of Indians have a cellphone, only 31 percent had a toilet. But in July of this year, Modi promised there would be toilets in every school throughout India within the next few months.
Above all else, though, the country needs to come to terms with the fact that, as Mittra puts it, “the mythological idea of the Ganga is indeed more valued than the river itself.”
Sadhvi “Sadhviji” Bhagawati Saraswati of the nonprofit Ganga Action Parivar, a nonprofit organization based in Rishikesh, believes that the way to do this is to form “a collaboration that involves the government and scientists, but also faith leaders who have the networks and the capacity to shape perspective through story rather than shaming.” Many nongovernmental organizations and others hoping to save the Ganges have ignored the cultural influence of Ganga myths, seeing the pollution as a matter of the people not caring about it. But understanding the impact of religion is key.
“People will starve themselves. They will skip meals to save rupees and use those rupees to buy flowers to offer Ganga,” Sadhviji says. “But in offering those flowers, they also offer the plastic bag they’re wrapped in.” That’s why saving the Ganges is not about convincing people to care, it’s about convincing them to care differently. “For thousands of years, people have believed Ganga can wash away a lifetime of sins. Why on earth would they suddenly believe their garbage could harm her? Many people actually feel disrespected when such an idea is presented,” Sadhviji says. She says it will take local faith leaders to effectively convince them otherwise.
Ganga Action Parivar tries to wrap informed messages about environmental conservation into religion and its myths. “Hinduism is inextricably linked to caring for animals, plants, the natural world,” Sadhviji says. “When the pollution conversation is shaped in this manner people immediately realize the way their actions go against their deepest values. This is when they change.”
In 2015, I visited the city of Rishikesh in the lap of the Himalayas just in time to celebrate the Ganga Dussehra, a countrywide recognition of the exact day Ganga came down from heaven to earth. Rishikesh is known for being “the yoga capital of the world” and for hosting the Beatles in 1968 during their transcendental meditation retreat at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. It’s also where many Indians told me to visit if I wanted to see Ganga at her finest.
In Rishikesh, the Ganges is shockingly clean; while in water up to my knees, I could still see my feet. Perhaps a better indicator is that I didn’t see a single piece of trash during the 30 minutes I spent meditating along the banks. So at 4 in the morning on the following day, with thousands of others, I celebrated Ganga and for the first time plunged my entire body into her waters.

Scotton Solves 20-Year MysteryPublished: October 17, 2011
Comparative World Literature and Classics’ Paul Scotton returned from the ancient Greek cities of Corinth and Athens this year after a stay from July 2010 to this January thanks to a Kress Publication Fellowship from the American School of Classical Studies Athens (ASCSA).
Scotton used his six months of research to complete his monograph, “The Julian Basilica in Corinth: An Architectural Investigation,” with an additional focus on the site’s inscriptions, sculptures and a discussion of their context and significance. Grants are for at least three months (up to $10,000) to a maximum of nine months (up to $30,000.)
The ASCSA is a research center representing a consortium of 180 universities and colleges across in both the U.S. and Canada. Its primary focus has been the excavations in the agora of Athens and in the ancient city of Corinth. Of all those who have worked and trained in Athens and Corinth, only a small percentage are asked to research and publish specific topics and it is even rarer for ASCSA to offer a fellowship to one of this group to complete her or his monograph.
Scotton’s monograph traces the history of this overlooked Corinthian wonder that once may have played a role in the judgement of the Apostle Paul. Corinth had its Greek heyday between the 8th century and its destruction by the Roman general Mummius in 146 B.C. The city was refounded by Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. as a Roman colony and gradually developed again. In A.D. 51/52, the Apostle Paul visited Corinth and its basilica. Scotton presented a paper on his research in January at the convention of the American Institute of Archeology.
“This particular Roman basilica was the scene of the Imperial cult that honored the ruling Roman family,” explained Scotton. “It also served as a law court of the imperial province. It occurred to me that, if this served as a law court, then this place may well have been where the Apostle Paul was brought at his trial.”
Scotton solved a mystery that has puzzled him for 20 years on his way to mapping ancient Corinth. “My primary research was on the Julian Basilica but there is an adjacent building right next door,” he explained. “No one has been able to figure out what it was for. I felt sure this building was meant to be a hall of records there to service the hall of justice in the Julian Basilica.
“I have found that there were pass-throughs on either side of where the judge sat,” he continued. “There were a significant number of statues not only to the Roman Emperor Augustus but also to Julius Caesar and Tiberius. Sitting behind the judge was a larger-than-life-size statue of Julius Caesar, who founded the Roman colony in Corinth. There are images of Augustus dressed as a priest and of Tiberius as a general. There were dedications all over to the royal Roman family. When the judge was sitting, he was empowered by these statues of the imperial family.”
Scotton worked hard to form professional relationships as well as scientific ones. “Networking is crucial, especially when world-famous scholars are passing through,” he said. “What I found in Athens was invaluable. It is still a crossroads for scholars coming and going with a lecture every night. Sometimes there are dueling lectures.”
Scotton never forgot how rare his research opportunity was. “This visit represented a peak of scholarly creativity for me in the last seven years,” he recalled. “For six months, all I had to do was research. Even comparing notes over dinner with colleagues was valuable.”
Greek demonstrations about their nation’s financial woes loomed large during his stay.
“The current economic situation Greece is dire. There are people who are really hurting,” he said. “I have Greek university colleagues who have significant pay cuts forced upon them. These are not furloughs. People are rightly upset. If you watched only TV, you’d think the whole country was in flames. This is not to say that people are not upset. They are. But the primary outbursts are in Athens, not Corinth, and when they are in Athens, they are usually in the relatively small space outside parliament. The only way people feel they have speak with a voice is to strike. Trains, taxis and buses strike. But for my work, it was more of an inconvenience. I felt I could adapt.”
Archaeologists hold a special place in Greek culture. “The Greeks are especially receptive to the archaeological community because so much of their economy depends on tourism. It is the single largest industry in Greece,” he said. “Archeology is a huge draw. It is in everyone’s interest for the sites to be open. A taxi driver may not care about archaeology but he does care about the fare in the back seat.”
Scotton thanked his department and the university for their backing, pointing to a visit by CSULB President F. King Alexander to his excavations at Mycenae. “The university has been very supportive and that has been very gratifying,” he said.
Scotton was appointed as a Research Associate of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA in 2008 and as a Fellow in 2010. He earned his A.B. from the University of Illinois, an M.F.A. with honors from the University of Oregon in 1974, a second M.A. from the University of Illinois in 1975, another M.A. from UC Santa Barbara in 1988, and his Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of Pennsylvania. During his tenure at the University of Washington, he served as the director of UW Classics Program in Rome during the spring 2001 and as the director of the UW Study Abroad program at the University of Ioannina, Greece, in spring 2005.
Scotton’s next book will explore another Corinthian address. “I have a second book under way about that building adjacent to the Julian Basilica,” he explained. It was not only the site of the Roman records hall but below it was a bronze and iron foundry that appears to have been in use from 8th or 7th centuries BCE, right up until the sack of the city by the Romans in 146 BCE. Next in line is a book on what is known as `the south basilica.’ In plan it was built as a twin to the Julian Basilica but the similarities may end there. These two new books will examine whether or not there are similar functions in the two basilicas. Did they both hold trials? Was the south basilica a cult center? What did the site look like in the Roman period? What did it look like in the Greek period? I feel I have 10 years of work to look forward to.”
Scotton encourages his faculty colleagues to consider making research a greater focus in their careers. “Applying for this kind of travel research is a personal choice,” he explained. “But I have found that research helps me in the classroom. I bring in what I learn from my own work and from others. It makes the classroom environment more interesting. Every term, I hear the same question. Hasn’t everything in archaeology already been discovered? No, it hasn’t and work like this offers the best examples.”

Home Education The Dynamics of Opportunity in America
The Challenges of Title I: The Early Years
Several factors augured ill for the success of ESEA's Title I in improving the performance of poor students despite its enduring success politically over the decades. First, the alleviation of poverty was not a strong policy priority for the average American citizen or school superintendent. Also, there was little knowledge at the federal level or within the state and local levels about how to improve the academic achievement of these children. Congress spent the bulk of its attention debating how Title I money would be allocated, not how educators could improve poor children's education.
But Congress also did not devote much money to it. The Great Society programs were many in number and light on budgets. Johnson's War on Poverty was a big idea, but most of its programs were in the Office of Economic Opportunity, whose advocates fought hard to keep these programs experimental and small at first. HEW persuaded the President to locate ESEA in the Office of Education, but Congress did not give the resources needed to do the job. Advocates' hopes that budget appropriations would increase after the first year were confounded by the expansion of the Vietnam War.
Congress not only appropriated too little money but spread it across too many districts. Initially the entitlement was calculated by the number of students from families below $2000 in family income or receiving state welfare. The latter was a concession to big states like New York, whose welfare payments exceeded $2000. However, when those numbers were tallied, that figure was multiplied by a factor reflecting the existing per-pupil costs on average in the individual state, an inducement to get the support of richer states that spent higher amounts per child on education. Meanwhile, the initial definitions of poverty income levels were increased in order to make more attendance areas eligible. Soon, almost half the school districts in the country had some Title I schools. Liberal Democrats in future years would react to this by introducing “concentration grants,” which allocated extra funds to the districts with the highest proportion of poverty families. Still, the redistributive effect of Title I was modest.
Title I also foundered because many districts felt little commitment to the stated purpose—to improve the education of children in poverty. They simply violated the law and used the funds for many nonapproved purposes. Scandals emerged within a year. Ruby Martin, former OCR director, and Phyllis McClure, of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund, documented districts in which Title I funds were used to pay teachers and buy supplies that had nothing to do with Title I programs. Title I funds paid for disposal of sewage, renting an administration building, purchasing a heating system, buying buses for regular school runs, and constructing an instructional television studio for all students (Martin and McClure 1969, 6, 9–11, 13, 14, 21,29).
Gradually, the government brought such blatant violations of rules under control, but more subtle problems existed. Some schools used the funds only to bring the expenditures for poor children up on average from the existing unequal levels to those of more affluent children within a district. Federal officials found this “comparability” problem difficult to define and monitor. Other schools used Title I funds to replace local or state funds even though federal officials emphasized that Title I funds must “supplement” local amounts spent on these children, not “supplant” those local funds. Another knotty problem has been documented by economists:
Adding funds in a given year may seem like an advantage to the Title I programs, but those gains were often offset by subsequent reductions in local taxes for education (Gordon 2004; Cascio, Gordon, and Reber 2013).
It was virtually impossible for the federal government to ascertain whether the funds were reaching the stated goal, which was not just to spend the money on poor children but reduce achievement gaps between rich and poor. Few states had regular statewide achievement tests, and there was an intense phobia against developing federal tests. People widely believed that federal tests would drive curriculum, which was the prerogative of localities and the states. Senator Robert Kennedy insisted upon an accountability clause in Title I because he believed that schools had no idea how to accomplish its goals. However, that clause only required districts to devise whatever tests they wished to use and report them annually to the state, a provision that was inadequate on the face of it and was, in any case, widely ignored.  As we shall see, important reforms were made in education legislation, and in Title I in particular, in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Dialogue of the Savior is preserved in a single Coptic copy found in Codex III of the Nag Hammadi codices.
According to Julian Hills in The Complete Gospels, the Dialogue of the Savior is a gospel about baptism. Hills argues:
The central theme of the Dialogue is a process of salvation described in POxy 654 (the Greek fragment of Thom 2): "Let him who [seeks] not pause [until] he finds. When he finds, [he shall marvel]. When he [marvels], he shall rule. [When he has ruled, he shall find rest]" (see DialSav 20:4). This theme supports an invitation to baptism (1-3). It is even likely that the author intended the writing as a discussion of baptism, and in particular of the question: do baptized persons belong in heaven, and or should they continue their struggle in the flesh, i.e., on earth?
The author answers the question as follows. First, the writing looks backwards - it describes a moment in the past, when Jesus and his disciples were together. But the reader sees the disciples not only as historical people; he or she finds that they stand for the community's "catechumens" (converts in training) being instructed by their "teacher" (81). In this way, the instructions to the disciples in the Dialogue are probably addressed to those in the author's community who are preparing for baptism.
Ron Cameron in The Other Gospels and Julian Hills in The Complete Gospels agree that at least four different written sources lie behind the Dialogue of the Savior. Hills argues:
Several things about this document make it almost certain that the final author combined various written sources to produce the present Dialogue of the Savior. First, a series of long speeches of the Lrod seem to belong together, in terms of subject-matter and style (see especially 1-3; 14; 22-23; 34-35; 96; 104). Second, several of the speeches have introductions that interrupt the flow of the dialogue (see especially in 24; 36; 37; 39; 40). Third, there are some abrupt changes of subject-matter, as if the author switched from one source to another and back again.
Cameron describes the sources as follows:
Into this dialogue are inserted the following sources: (1) a creation myth (127.23-131.15) based on Genesis 1-2; (2) a cosmological list (133.16-134.24) interpreted in the wisdom tradition; and (3) a fragment of an apocalyptic vision (134.24-137.3). The final redactor has introduced the entire document with (4) an exhortation, prayer, and typically gnostic instruction about the passage of the soul through the heavens (120.2-124.22), all of which is described in terms closely related to the language of the deutero-Pauline corpus, upon which the introductory second may well be dependent.
The title of the Dialogue of the Savior comes from the final redactor: while "the Lord" is used as an appelation thirty-nine times, the term "the Savior" occurs only twice in an introduction to speech. In their introduction found in The Nag Hammadi Library in English, Helmut Koester and Elaine Pagels state, "The title The Dialogue of the Savior appears in the incipit and the explicit of the manuscript and is apparently a later addition."
The main source behind the Dialogue of the Savior is a collection of the sayings of Jesus. Helmut Koester and Elaine Pagels write:
The primary source was a dialogue between the Lord and three disciples. This source is preserved in the following sections of the extant work: 124,23-127,19; 128,23-129,16; 131,19-133,21(?); 137,3-146,20, i.e., in about 65% of the present text. These sections are characterized by brief questions, usually from one of the named disciples (sometimes by all the disciples) and equally brief answers of the Lord. Sometimes these questions and answers are expanded into longer units discussing a particular topic. Tradiational sayings of Jesus used in these questions and answers have parallels in the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, and John, and particularly in The Gospel of Thomas. However, a literary dependence upon any of these writings seems unlikely. Rather, the sayings tradition used here appears to be an independent one parallel to the one used in The Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of John.
Cameron also compares the Dialogue of the Savior with the Gospel of John:
Its use of sayings to compose dialogues marks a stage in the development of the tradition leading from the primitive collection of sayings to the creation of longer revelation discourses and dialogues. In this respect, the Dialogue of the Savior is a precursor of the Gospel of John, which much more subtly incorporates originally discrete sayings into elaborate discourses and dialogues of Jesus. Moreover, in the theological concern addressed by juxtaposing realized eschatology with futuristic eschatology, the Dialogue of the Savior is also a harbinger of the later redaction of John. Each document presents Jesus as a wisdom teacher and living revealer, who challenges his disciples to discover how revelation can come to be a reality within a community of believers.
Helmut Koester and Elaine Pagels maintain that the Dialogue of the Savior, unlike the Sophia of Jesus Christ or Pistis Sophia, is like the Gospel of John in its "elaborations and interpretations of traditional sayings." Because the Dialogue of the Savior is often "less advanced and theologically less complex than the Johannine parallels," they argue that the dialogue source should be dated sometime in the first century.
Ron Cameron offers this dating: "Whereas the dialogue source probably dates from the second half of the first century, the document in its final form was probably composed in the mid- to late second century, when the deutero-Pauline corpus was used in conjuction with the gospel traditions to authenticate the interpretations of both the 'orthodox' and the 'heretics.'" Julian Hills states that the final redaction of the Dialogue of the Savior was probably made about 150 C.E.

Under the current wage subsidy scheme, employers who sign up will be required to pay their employees no more than 70% of their net weekly wage, which for many workers is less than the €350 they would receive through the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
Teachta Doherty said:
“Sinn Féin welcomes the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme, which attempts to maintain a relationship between workers and their employers, keep them on payroll and support their incomes.
“However, in its current design the scheme is flawed and requires immediate reform.
“Employers who sign up are required to pay their employees no more than 70% of their net weekly wage, which for many is less than the €350 they would receive through the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
“In fact, anyone with a salary of less than €30,000 will receive less under the wage subsidy scheme than they would from the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
“For a full-time worker on the minimum wage this wage subsidy will provide nearly €100 less than the COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
“This is a disincentive for employers and employees to use the Wage Subsidy Scheme, which is an essential part of the Government’s response to this crisis.
“Sinn Féin had proposed an Income Support Scheme that would guarantee 100% of take home pay up to a maximum of €525 per week. If these proposals are not implemented, the current scheme must at least be reformed.
“I have contacted the Minister for Finance Pascal Donohoe and Revenue calling for the scheme to be reformed by ensuring that €350 is the floor or minimum payment employees receive through the Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme.
“This will improve the scheme, increase household incomes and encourage more employers and employees to avail of it.
“This will provide further support to workers and also put us in a stronger position to rebuild the economy and society on the far side of this crisis.”

U.S. forces in the Malinta Tunnel surrender on Corregidor.
By George Morris
Once Japan invaded the Philippines shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, American military leaders quickly realized the islands were a lost cause. But, if U.S. and Philippine forces couldn’t defeat the enemy, it could accomplish something else — delay them.
Delay had its last major stand at Corregidor.
A hunk of rock 2.5 miles long and a half-mile wide. It would have been a worthless piece of real estate had it not been situated at the mouth of Manila Bay. About 12,000 soldiers and Marines were ordered to hold it at all costs.
All costs meant being under constant attack. After the Bataan Peninsula fell on April 9, 1942, it became relentless bombardment: bombing by day, shelling around the clock. Tommy Thompson, who later settled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and James Carrington, who lived in the New Orleans suburb of Harahan, were Marines there, getting pounded by an enemy they could not reach.
“We had to stay in holes in the daytime and could get out at night,” Thompson said. “When they started firing, I wouldn’t dare stick my head out of the hole.
“You couldn’t get a nap. You couldn’t sleep. You couldn’t get out. You couldn’t do nothing. And we knew we were being, I called it, sacrificed by the United States government.”
Woefully unprepared for Pearl Harbor and Japan’s subsequent sweep through the southwest Pacific Ocean, the only victory that could come at Bataan and Corregidor was to disrupt the Japanese timetable. That became a sore point with many on Corregidor.
“Gen. (Douglas) MacArthur, he had lied to us,” said Carrington. “He had promised a hundred transports were coming with the Pacific Fleet. They never did tell you the fleet was at the bottom of Pearl Harbor. They said that they had bombed Pearl Harbor, but they didn’t tell us what damage had been done. So, they asked us to try to hold out, hold out. Well, MacArthur had left us in March for Australia.”
Thompson, a corporal, commanded three other men in a machine gun pit. Once, he’d left for a work detail, and when he returned the pit was empty; it had taken a direct hit. Another time, a Japanese shell hit a pit below him.
“I went down to see about them,” he said. “All I found was a pair of shoes.”
Occasionally, Thompson said, Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright dropped by. Wainwright received the Medal of Honor for his actions at Corregidor, in part for his willingness to be on the front line with his men.
“He was the enlisted mens good friend,” Thompson said. “He was sitting in the gun pit one day and they were bombing us, and I caught him by the britches leg and said, ‘General, you’d better get down here in this hole.’ And he said, ‘They’re looking for little squirts like you.’ ”
The situation, however, was no laughing matter. The continuous shelling was taking a toll, and a Japanese landing was inevitable. With vastly superior numbers, the defenders had no choice once the Japanese established a beachhead.
“You couldn’t shoot them fast enough,” Thompson said. “That’s when (we) had to give it up.”
“All that Hollywood stuff — you think the cavalry would be coming in the last minute, but nothing ever happened,” Carrington said.
On May 6, Wainwright gave the order to surrender, and, for all intents and purposes, the Philippines belonged to Japan. (All Allied resistance on the islands ended in the following month.) But instead of 50 days, it had taken five months for the conquest to be complete, a delay that gave the allied military time to regroup. The Japanese would never reach Australia.
Those on Corregidor could take no comfort in this. They wouldn’t find out for three or more years — those who lived that long.

We analyzed 16 kidneys obtained from 15-year-old emus, Dromaius novaehollandiae. Emus were kept at an experimental farm in Poland. The results showed that each kidney was composed of 3 parts: cranial, medial, and caudal divisions. Histological results demonstrated that the kidneys consisted of 2 zones: the cortex and the medulla. The cortex made up the majority of the kidney, while the medulla formed only a small portion of the organ. Proximal and distal tubules and 2 types of glomeruli (looped and loopless) were localized in the cortex. Each of these glomeruli was characterized by tightly arranged mesangial cells. Proximal and distal tubules had a distinctive simple low cuboidal epithelium. The luminal surface of the proximal tubules had a brush border membrane, formed by numerous microvilli. The renal medulla of emu kidneys formed irregularly positioned characteristic cones of different sizes. The medulla was composed of thin and thick segments of Henle's loops lined with a simple cuboidal epithelium and collecting ducts with a simple columnar epithelium. In the absence of detailed information in the literature about the anatomy and morphology of emu kidneys, our study provides new information and undoubtedly complements the knowledge in this field with respect to this species of bird.

During a speech about the Orlando terrorist attack Tuesday, President Barack Obama chided Donald Trump for his rhetoric about Muslims, and the presumptive Republican nominee responded during a rally in Greensboro, N.C.
“I watched President Obama today, and he was more angry at me than he was at the shooter,” the billionaire businessman told rally-goers.
During his speech earlier, Obama lambasted the real estate developer for his “dangerous” policy ideas and his proposed ban on Muslims entering the U.S., asking, “Do Republican officials actually agree with this?”
“Because that’s not the America we want,” he continued. “It doesn’t reflect our Democratic ideals. It will make us less safe.”
After seeing the president’s comments, Trump critiqued Obama’s “level of anger.”
“The level of anger … that’s the kind of anger he should have for the shooter and these killers that shouldn’t be here,” Trump said.
Trump added that “many people” agreed with his perspective, paraphrasing a political pundit he saw on Fox News Tuesday who suggested the Republican candidate was getting under Obama’s skin.

In this project we’ll show you how to get iridescent effects on 3D printed parts.
You can get shiny rainbowlike surfaces on the bottom your 3D prints by printing on a special sheet.
In direct light, reflections look iridescent with rainbowlike patterns.
We think this works great for project enclosures, cases and faceplates.
These are diffraction grating sheets and they’re are mostly used in optics.
This film can have different number lines per millimeter and this actually splits light into separate beams of color. We used the Double Axis Diffraction Grating sheet 13,500 lines/inch.
The Single Axis sheets did not transfer any diffraction features.
This stuff has tons of applications from creating laser light shows to making spectrometers.
So you can get a roll of this stuff online and use it for making DIY arts and crafts.
We can achieve different surface finishes by printing on different types of material. When filament is extruded it takes the features and characteristics of the surface it'ss lay on, like a mold!
Diffraction grating sheets give a mix of a matte finish with glossy reflections.
Blue tape gives a matte finish with a leather like texture.
Heated glass offers shiny reflective surfaces that look and feel glossy.
Powder coated PEI leaves a curse looking texture with a matte finish.

Renowned actor Morgan Freeman faced an unexpected hurdle in his plans to embark on a promotional tour for his latest show as he confronted a debilitating infection, Your Content has learned.
The 86-year-old artist had to cancel his scheduled trip to the United Kingdom after being struck by a fever, as confirmed by his representative.
Medical professionals informed Freeman that he was contagious, rendering it impossible for him to proceed with the planned interviews and engagements.
The purpose of his UK visit was to promote the new television series titled “Special Ops: Lioness,” in which Freeman shares the screen with esteemed actresses Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman. However, his absence from the interviews and Tuesday’s screening was evident, leaving both fans and the media curious.
Furthermore, Freeman was set to make an appearance alongside his co-stars on the popular BBC program “The One Show.”
Host Alex Jones, not to be confused with a namesake, expressed her deep disappointment regarding his absence.
It’s worth noting that Freeman has been grappling with fibromyalgia since 2008, following a near-fatal car accident.
At this year’s Oscars, he wore a black compression glove on his hand, a measure he often takes for comfort due to enduring permanent nerve damage from the crash.
Regarding the infection, Freeman’s representative reassured that the actor is now in good health and no longer poses a risk of contagion, according to TMZ.

DelcoAD to Kickoff Free Tax Prep with Mayor of Upper Darby
Delaware County, PA - On Friday, January 27, DelcoAD will host a press conference and outreach event to promote Earned Income Tax Credit awareness and kickoff the 2012 tax filing season. The event will be held in the main lobby of Upper Darby's 69th Street Terminal from 1:00pm - 2:00pm and will include remarks from Mayor Micozzie, Pennsylvania State Representative Davidson, IRS Pennsylvania Territory Manager Jim Daugherty and PathWays PA President and CEO Carol Goertzel. It will also mark the opening of DelcoAD's ten Volunteer Income Tax Preparation sites, where Delaware County residents earning less than $50,000 annually can receive free tax preparation.
National EITC Awareness Day, on January 27 of this year, is a nationwide effort to raise awareness of and access to the Earned Income Tax Credit, one of the largest and most effective anti-poverty tools in the United States. Millions of workers each year overlook the federal tax credit simply because their earnings do not require them to file or they are unaware of the credit. Last year, the Earned Income Tax Credit boosted refunds for eligible workers by an average of $2,100.
According to the IRS, many people will qualify for the EITC for first time this year due to changes in income or filing status. The agency estimates that only four out of five eligible workers currently claim their EITC, meaning one in five misses out on as much as $5,751 extra in their federal income tax refund.
