The Free Press
NORTH MANKATO —
When Wendell Sande retired last spring as North Mankato city administrator, the City Council went looking for someone who could fit into his footwear.
The search took six months because, as council members have said repeatedly, these are big shoes they're trying to fill.
Sande called it quits at 62 after spending 31 years at North Mankato City Hall, starting as city finance director, transitioning to assistant city administrator in 1981, and rising to the top spot in 1996.
Upon his retirement, the Pipestone native reminisced that he sat in on more than 500 City Council meeting during his tenure, and now it was time to focus on family and fun, his two young granddaughters in particular.
In May, Sande told The Free Press he was proud of the city's achievements over the years in the areas of job creation, tax-base growth and a ceaseless quest for economic development.
But he said the project that probably meant the most to him personally was the rejuvenation of Spring Lake, which had become woefully shallow and fish-unfriendly due to sediment buildup.
The fruition of Sande's plan for a $100,000 fishing pier for the lake included his suggestion that it be named in honor of Jacob Thompson, a North Mankato native killed in Iraq who had fished the lake as a boy.
Sande a few days ago said that the days and weeks immediately following his retirement produced a revelation.
"You don't realize the amount of time and effort you invest in a job like city administrator until you step away from it."
And although his job with the city is over, his work with cities goes on.
"It's nice to be semi-retired," he said wryly, in reference to the consulting work he's been doing with local governments in the area. Most recently he helped Winnebago make the transition to a new city administrator.
Not that he doesn't have time for the fun stuff of retirement. There's golf, woodworking and a pet passion on four wheels.
"I have a hot rod project I'm working on -- a '41 Chevy -- that's been on the back burner for a few years."

The law of demand can be explained by the substitution effect. If the price of a good is lower than expected, then, that good appears to a consumer as a bargain opportunity in comparison to the goods which remain at full price. The consumer will temporarily switch his/her pattern of consumption by substituting bargain items for full price items.
Suppose a customer is undecided between pork chops and steak before entering a supermarket. If pork chops have a special promotion at a reduced price, while steak has not, that is likely to induce the customer to buy the pork chops with no remaining hesitation. This is an illustration of the substitution effect.

After a great time here last year we just had to come back for another 11 nights July 7-18th & what a welcome we got, it was great to see some lovely people who were here from last year too.
Although we had a small problem with our room Magic was just lovely moving us with no fuss they all look after you so well.
Celal (jelal) is a great asset to the hotel always busy & attentive to your needs, the gardener works tirelessly all day making the gardens look so great & the lovely lady who cooks the most yummy pancakes & omelettes at breakfast with a welcoming smile just makes this hotel special.
Great to see Ferhat in the evenings, he is such a charming, fantastic bloke always a "welcome home" in the evening asking how your day has been whilst topping up your drinks.
We spent a lot of lazy days at the beach a short 10 min walk away, it has a nice breeze down there which you don't really get by the pool although the pool area is lovely.
We did go to Fethiye & was amazed to see a Turtle in the harbour really made our day.
We can't recommend this hotel enough, it is suitable for everyone of all ages, all the staff are great,
Many thanks again to Magic & all the lovely staff at the Harman Hotel for another lovely stay/holiday.

In bloom: Kirsten Dunst puts her slender pins on display in tiny denim shorts to meet boyfriend Garrett Hedlund
She's been dating Garrett Hedlund for seven months after playing onscreen lovers in the upcoming On the Road.
And Kirsten Dunst put her slender pins on display in very short denim cutoffs to inconspicuously meet up with the 27-year-old Tron: Legacy actor for brunch today inside Olive & Thyme.

The pale 30-year-old star was literally blooming with her form-fitting flowered t-shirt as she made her way into the Toluca Lake-area gourmet cafe and marketplace alongside a blonde gal pal.
The indie darling finished her casual Saturday attire with her favourite pair of $450 black Chloe sandals.
The Marie Antoinette actress, who is known for her quirky style, had left her blonde hair loosely styled and her face free of make-up to meet up with her beau and other friends.

Kirsten just returned to the States after filming scenes for next year's Two Faces in January in London.
In the thriller, also starring Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten plays a con artist's wife who - along with a stranger - attempts to flee a foreign country after one of them is caught up in the murder of a police officer.
While across the pond, Dunst was joined by her Two Faces costar Oscar Issac, a rising star who's had roles in Madonna's W.E. and the crime drama Drive with Ryan Gosling, to watch the Olympics at North Greenwich Arena.
Costar bonding: Earlier this week, Dunst was joined by her Two Faces in January costar Oscar Issac to watch the Olympics at North Greenwich Arena
The Bring It On actress was seen sipping Heineken and cheering on Team USA with Oscar as they beat Australia in a 119-86 win to make it through to the semis.
The attractive castmates were also seen leaving the Delaunay restaurant in London together earlier this week.
After appearing in more somber fare like last year's Melancholia and All Good Things, Dunst will next be seen in the raunchy comedy Bachelorette, about three women's hard-partying weekend before the wedding of a girl they sued to bully in high school.
Meet Oscar: Kirsten and Oscar, an actor from Madonna's W.E. and Drive with Ryan Gosling, were also seen leaving the Delaunay restaurant in London together
The female answer to The Hangover series is already available on demand and will be released in theaters on September 7.
Regan, who is played by Kirsten, is jealous when Rebel Wilson's character Becky, who was cruelly nicknamed Pig Face, is going to be tying the knot before her.
X-Men star James Marsden's groomsman character has a sexy romp with Kirsten's bridesmaid character in a strip club bathroom.
'Those are always daunting scenes when you see them on the schedule. You’re counting the days,' he recently told E! Online.
On and offscreen lovers: She's been dating the Tron: Legacy star for seven months after playing onscreen lovers in the upcoming On the Road
'Kirsten was like, "Come on, whatever. Lets have fun doing it and let’s go for it."'
Apparently, James couldn't get Dunst's star-making turn as an eight-year-old bloodsucker in Interview with a Vampire out of his mind.
The 38-year-old actor continued, 'Don’t think that didn’t cross my mind when we were on a bathroom counter in some random bar in New York, but she’s as cool a chick as it gets. Once I knew Kirsten was game, it was much easier to do the scene.'

With rising insecurity and recent attacks on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, the programme, created to foster unity, seems to be losing its popularity.
But for the author of Served, a book presented in Lagos yesterday, the fading glory of the mandatory programme can be restored.
Written by The Nation, reporter, Joseph Agbro jnr,, the book chronicles the life, experience and survival instincts of a youth corps member in a village far away from his hometown.
It gives a vivid description of what the national orientation camp looks like. It reminds the reader of the national anthem and paints the picture of the birth of compatriot.
To the older generation, the book is a nostalgic, taking the reader down memory lane. For the fresh graduate, it is a literary replay of their NYSC experience, and for the undergraduates, it is an eye opener to the world that awaits them in the national orientation camp.

One of the prescriptions for transforming health care in the United States is finding a cure for skyrocketing drug costs. These costs continue to increase at an alarming and unsustainable rate, driven largely by expensive specialty medications, the random repricing of generic drugs and an overall lack of transparency in pricing.
The recent decision by Humana, a large for-profit health insurer, to adopt a policy to not cover the generic versions of certain drugs (“Out of control cost of prescriptions is a ripe target,” The Buffalo News, Aug. 10) is the latest wake-up call for our elected leaders to act.
Prescription drug expenditures represent nearly 20 percent of our nation’s health care costs. A recent study by Consumer Reports found 28 million Americans experienced a spike in the cost of their prescription medication in the past 12 months and for 4 million of them, the price was so high they walked away from their prescription altogether.
Specialty drug pricing alone is far outpacing the Consumer Price Index and is expected to increase to 44 percent of overall drug spending this year. The retail cost of widely used specialty drug therapies – those requiring special handling, administration or monitoring – averages nearly $54,000 annually, more than the median U.S. household income.
Another key factor driving the rising cost trend is the arbitrary repricing of drugs, in particular generic drugs. While generics have historically provided a lower-cost alternative to brand-name drugs, in the last two years one-fifth of established generic drugs saw prices at least double.
To manage prescription drug costs, Independent Health uses a clinically driven, value-based formulary, determined by our pharmacy and therapeutics committee composed of community physicians and pharmacists. Thus, formulary decisions are based on clinical effectiveness, safety, need and value, but more needs to be done legislatively.
The proposal by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo earlier this year to prevent pharmacy price gouging is a good effort to cut prescription drug costs that drive up premiums. On the federal level, future efforts to replace or repair the Affordable Care Act must include legislation to curtail drug price gouging.
Greater transparency in drug pricing can also shed light on what factors into the cost of drugs and how a medication compares with other treatment options, helping consumers and patients make better choices about their health care and where their money goes.
At Independent Health, we have our own pharmacy benefit manager, Pharmacy Benefit Dimensions, and unlike most national PBMs used by other health plans, we utilize a transparent pricing model so all savings and rebates are passed through to employers, ensuring they know the exact cost of their prescriptions.
If we want a sustainable and affordable health care system that works for patients, employers and the government, we have to address the rising cost of drugs.
Martin Burruano is a registered pharmacist and vice president of pharmacy at Independent Health.


As Lions, the band that formed from the ashes of Rise To Remain, have announced details of their debut gig.
Frontman Austin Dickinson, guitarist Will Homer and bassist Conor O’Keefe made the decision to split their old group following the departure of drummer Adam Lewin and guitarist Ben Tovey and continue under the name As Lions.
They’re joined by bassist Stefan Whiting and drummer Dave Fee – and they’ll play their first live show together at London’s Camden Barfly on February 11. Support will come from Monument, Stellify and Brutai.
Earlier this month they launched their debut track The Fall – a song Dickinson said was an “impassioned and honest statement of intent for our future.”
As Lions are planning to release an EP in the next few months while their debut album is expected later in the year.
Tickets for the gig are currently available via See Tickets.


Mahendragiri, India’s latest warship, will be launched at the Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders in Mumbai on September 1, boosting the country’s defence self-reliance initiative, the Defence Ministry said.
The wife of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Sudesh Dhankhar, will launch India’s latest warship which will provide a boost to the Indian Navy’s capabilities.
The warship Mahendragiri which is named after a mountain peak in Eastern Ghats in Odisha is the seventh ship of the Project 17A Frigates.
“The newly christened Mahendragiri is a technologically advanced warship and stands as a symbol of India’s determination to embrace its rich naval heritage, while propelling itself towards a future of indigenous defence capabilities,” the ministry said.
Under the Project, fou warships by M/s MDL and three ships by M/s GRSE are being built. The MDL and GRSE have launched the first six ships between 2019 and 2023.
According to the Ministry, Project 17A ships have been designed in-house by Indian Navy’s Warship Design Bureau, the pioneer organisation for all warship design activities. Aligning with the country’s resolute commitment to ‘Aatma Nirbharata’, a substantial 75% of the orders for equipment and systems of Project 17A ships have been ordered on indigenous firms, including Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The launch of Mahendragiri is an apt testament to the incredible progress our Nation has made in building a self-reliant naval force.
The launch of the warship marks a significant milestone in its construction.
Earlier, President Droupadi Murmu launched Vindhyagiri, the sixth warship of Project 17A, at GRSE on August 17.
“The launch of Mahendragiri is an apt testament to the incredible progress our nation has made in building a self-reliant naval force,” a Navy statement said.
The warship has improved stealth features, advanced sensors and weapons and platform management systems.
Nearly 75 per cent of the equipment used in the construction of the warship was ordered from indigenous firms including MSMEs which is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ vision.

When Megan MacLeod was in university, she had to wrap her hands in bandages and take over-the-counter medication to manage the pain from her arthritis enough to play percussion instruments as part of her degree.
Now, with the Saskatchewan Drug Plan scheduled to shift on April 30 from biologic drugs — like the ones MacLeod takes — to more cost-effective copies called biosimilar drugs, MacLeod is fearful she may have to endure the pain again as she tests the new medication.
MacLeod, 33, from Regina, is one of the about 24,000 patients who will be forced to make the shift from one of 10 biologic drugs to biosimilars, a move the province says could could save $20 million annually.
Saskatchewan announced in late October it would start its biosimilars initiative, making it the sixth Canadian province to make the switch. The adjustment will include a range of drugs that treat conditions including Crohn's disease, arthritis, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
According to the province, biologic drugs costing more than $10,000 per patient per year made up more than 70 per cent of the drug spending in Canada.
The province says clinical studies show that biosimilars have the same efficacy and safety as their originator.
Both Diabetes Canada and Crohn's and Colitis Canada have stated they disagree with the changes, saying medication switches need to be made in conversation with the patients.
Some residents in other provinces that made the switch have reported the new drugs not being effective, while others were concerned about the resurfacing of painful flare ups they had before being put on their current medication.
MacLeod was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis — later called juvenile idiopathic arthritis — at 12 years old, struggling with it until she was offered a biologic drug in her early 20s. She had a total knee replacement in her early 20s as a result of her arthritis, she said.
Her condition deteriorated on the first drug she was prescribed, which she said was chosen for its low cost. Then she was prescribed Humira, a biologic, and while she still grapples with properly medicating, she said it brought a semblance of normal back to her life. She doesn't want her condition to regress if she's required to change medications.
MacLeod's describes her condition as like having the flu constantly. She said that for two years before finding a biologic that worked she could barely walk and has had to crawl on her hands and knees to get up a staircase.
"It's like trying to close your fingers like a normal person would, but feeling a softball stuck in there and being unable to do it ... and it's not just your fingers, it's potentially every joint you have in your body," she said.
"It's scary ... I've already been there and I don't want to be again."
MacLeod said she is frustrated the government is focused more "on their collective wallet than what this is going to do to people who are living with these kinds of conditions."
When asked for a response to concerns about the change to biosimilars, a spokesperson for the health ministry said in an email that exemptions are available for those who cannot remain on the biosimilars and drug plan coverage will be in place for approved exemption requests.
MacLeod said she didn't know she would be affected by the April 30 deadline until CBC posted about it on social media.
Neither did Kaitlan Lavoie, from Saskatoon, who will be shifted from Remicade — a medication she has been on since she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2018 and treats a range of conditions.
They both received letters in early January acknowledging the change, more than two months after it was announced by the province.
"My big concern is going onto something new and it not helping me in the way that Remicade has helped me in the last four, going on five, years," Lavoie said, adding that she hasn't had a flare up since being on the drug.
She acknowledged that a new drug could work better for some, while for others it may not.
Biosimilars should work like original drugs: expert
Dr. Stan Bardal said while the overall change shouldn't be a cause of concern, the clinical trial process through Health Canada could mean that some drugs don't work as effectively as their more expensive equals.
He's an associate professor in the department of anatomy, physiology and pharmacology at the University of Saskatchewan.
If Health Canada tests rheumatoid arthritis, for example, they may use that data for other conditions instead of running tests for each individual condition.
Bardal said some physicians who have expressed concern about the shift in other provinces may have been concerned about how "the drugs aren't as well studied in their conditions."
"If there's no evidence in their specific conditions, it becomes a little bit harder to make that decision," he said, noting the most complaints are likely to come from conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Remicade, for example, is used for both Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
It's not uncommon, Bardal said, for patients to be switched from an originator drug to a cheaper, generic drug once the patent has expired. Biosimilars are held to a higher standard than generics.
Bardal said problems seem to come when someone switches from a biologic drug to a biosimilar, rather than when someone takes a biosimilar from the start.
He said it's difficult to know why people may face adverse effects with a new drug, but that it can be a nocebo effect — or the drug having different effects because you don't believe it will work. In other cases, the previous drug may have already had waning effects, he said.
"I think we have to be open to the possibility that there may be a rare few people, who for some reason that we don't understand yet because biologics have only been around for 20, 25 years … don't respond to the biosimilar," he said.
In the trials he's seen, there aren't noticeable differences between biosimilars and the original biologic drugs, otherwise Health Canada would deny their use.
He said the companies making biosimilars do their best to imitate the drugs, otherwise the money spent on trials is wasted.
The reason the drugs are cheaper, he said, is that the companies producing biosimilars don't need to spend money on research and development, as the original drug has already been created.

Hi all. I used to play some years ago (as a rogue). I'm thinking of coming back, and was considering making a warrior this time around... but all the guides and everything seem outdated. Most of the forum seems pretty slow.
Can anyone give me the current pros and cons of playing a warrior (I tend toward PvE, if it makes a difference)? And maybe some build tips?

Thou shall not force your beliefs on others
(AP via the Enid news and Eagle) It has been an eventful couple of weeks for the Supremes. Not Diana Ross’ old singing group, but the justices who make up the Supreme Court of the United States.
First the justices upheld a key tenet of the Affordable Care Act, then made gay marriage the law of the land. Then they said it is OK to kill a condemned prisoner using a drug that has caused problems in a number of executions. Then they rested, not to return until the fall.
Leave it to the Oklahoma Supreme Court to step into the void.
On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court ruled the Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the state Capitol must come down.
The outcry was immediate. One angry Facebook poster called the move “Christian persecution,” apparently forgetting the fact that it was Moses, a Jew, who brought the Ten Commandments down from Mount Sinai on stone tablets, thousands of years before Christ’s birth.
So the monument, paid for by private funds, must come down after the court ruled it indirectly benefits people of the Jewish and Christian faiths in violation of the state constitution.
A decade ago the Supremes, the U.S. version, waffled on deciding two cases involving the Ten Commandments.
The court voted against Ten Commandment displays on the grounds of two courthouses in Kentucky, while allowing one at the Texas state Capitol.
In that instance, the court ruled that the Kentucky displays violated the First Amendment because they constituted an effort by the government “substantially to promote religion.”
The Texas display, the justices ruled, served a “mixed but primarily non-religious display.” In the Texas case, the Ten Commandments monument was among some 40 monuments and historical markers spread over the Capitol’s 22 acres.
The Oklahoma Capitol already is home to the Oklahoma Veterans Memorial, as well as some working oil wells. But now the Ten Commandments will have to go.
This after a man drove his car through the monument in 2014, destroying it. He said the devil told him to do it. The monument was subsequently replaced in January of this year.
But now that the Ten Commandments monument has been ruled unconstitutional, the devil will not get his due, or his monument, either.
In response to the state Capitol’s Ten Commandments monument, the New York-based Satanist Temple proposed a Satanic monument that would stand side by side with the Ten Commandments. The proposed statue would have depicted the devil as Baphomet, a figure with a goat for a head, wings and a long beard, flanked by a pair of smiling children, a boy and a girl.
But now that the Ten Commandments monument will have to be removed, the devil’s statue will not be erected. Neither will the statues proposed for Oklahoma state Capitol grounds by a Hindu leader in Nevada, an animal rights group and the tongue-in-cheek Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
What is good for one is good for all, which was the point of the court's order to remove the Ten Commandments from the state Capitol grounds. It's not a ruling against Judaism or Christianity, per se, but against favoring one or two religions over others, or over no religion at all.
It has been said America is a Christian nation, and indeed it is. But America also is a Jewish nation, as well as a Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu nation, along with a smattering of other faiths, as well as those who profess no faith whatsoever.
Religious freedom, or the freedom to profess no religion at all, is one of the reasons this country was founded. As much as we’d like for everyone to believe exactly as we do, and no matter how wrong we think those who don’t are, we cannot impose our beliefs on someone else. If we could, this would not be America, it would be Russia, or North Korea.
Some people don’t want to have to look at a monument featuring the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state Capitol. I don’t want to have to look at a 7-foot-tall statue of a goat-headed fool, so we both win.
Supporters of the Ten Commandments monument can now place it in front of a church, or on private property somewhere, that is their right. And supporters of the Satanic statue can put it anywhere they like, too. I have an idea. It rhymes with “Where the sun don’t shine.”

We test the vehicle emission control by connecting our inspection machine to your vehicle's onboard computer. This test tells us about a computer error code or error that can affect your vehicle emission system. After we have a ""green light"" in all safety and emission tests, we can issue a certificate sticker vehicle for another year.
Texas requires that all problems must be improved in a period of 15 days and to conduct an inspection again to prevent additional costs.
If your car has a ""engine check"", the ""engine"" lamp or the other damage indicator light is on, it will soon fail to inspect. Because the state law states that payment is because of whether you graduate or fail, we do everything we can to ensure your car meets the regulatory standards, before we start your inspection and test.

Essay on Dr MS Swaminathan: Sometime back on July 14, 2014, MS Swaminathan , an agricultural scientist of Indian origin was organized in Hyderabad.
The ‘Ambassador of Goodwill Award’ was awarded at the ceremony. Shri William D Dar, Director General, International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) honored Swaminathan with the award at a function organized by Hyderabad Agricultural Institute.

MS Swaminathan , the father of Green Revolution and making India self-sufficient in agriculture, was born on 7 August 1925 in Kumbakonam district of Tamil Nadu state. His father was Dr. and the family was middle class. When Swaminathan was only 10 years old, his father died. Despite this setback, Swaminathan continued his studies. B.Sc. from Travancore University in 1944. Got the degree. From the very beginning his interest was in agriculture. In 1947, he also obtained a B.Sc degree in agriculture from Coimbatore Agricultural College. In 1949, Swaminathan got an associateship in the Department of Genetics and Plant Reading of the Indian Agricultural Research. He impressed everyone with his excellent work and in 1952 he got his PhD in Agricultural School in Cambridge, his research subject was potato.
The brilliant and hardworking Swaminathan continued to work along with studies. He also served as a UNESCO Fellow of the Department of Genetics at the University of the Netherlands from 1949 to 1950. From 1952 to 1953, he worked as a research associate at the Department of Genetics at the University of Wisconsin, USA. Swaminathan was troubled after doing small jobs in different places. Now he wanted such a job, while doing which he could devote his full attention to research work.
At that time there was no need for those doing research work on potatoes. So Swaminathan did research on rice at the International Institute. He did research on Japanese and Indian varieties of rice. In 1965, Swaminathan’s luck turned and he got a job in an institute located in Kosha. Here he was entrusted with the responsibility of research work on wheat. Simultaneously, his research on rice also continued. The botanical department here started testing with the help of irradiation of rays and they developed many varieties of wheat. Many scientists were earlier expressing apprehension that research work on wheat could not be done with the help of atomic rays, but Swaminathan proved them wrong.

In 1970, Sardar Patel University awarded him the degree of DSC. In 1969, Dr. Swaminathan was made the secretary of the Indian National Science Academy. He also became its fellow member. Prior to this, he was also made the vice-president of the International Conference held in The Hague in 1963. From 1954 to 1972, Dr. Swaminathan did unique work in reputed agricultural institutes at Cuttack and Pusa. During this time he also did research work and teaching. Along with this, the administrative responsibilities were also performed very well. He impressed everyone with his actions and the Government of India appointed him the Director General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research in 1972. Along with, he was also appointed as Secretary to the Government of India.
In those days, despite being an agricultural country, our country was not so developed in the field of agriculture. The people mainly needed rice and wheat. Our scientists failed to increase the yield of wheat. In 1962, for the first time, a dwarf variety of wheat was introduced from the Pusa Agricultural Institute from the Rao Flair Foundation, as well as Dr. NI Vorlong, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1968 for developing a dwarf variety of wheat. He was also guided. Dr. Vorlaug came to India and educated Swaminathan and his companions with his knowledge. Swaminathan was successful in increasing the yield of wheat by using Vorlaug’s knowledge and his prudence and hard work quite successfully in the cultivation of wheat.

Vorlag returned to India in 1971 after hearing about Swaminathan’s success and was very pleased to see his progress. From 1965 to 1971, Dr. Swaminathan Pusa was the Director of the Institute. During this, excellent work was done in the field of wheat. He also wrote many articles on this subject. Due to which the reputation of him and the institute became the worthy of praise all over the world. Seeds of dwarf varieties of wheat were distributed to the farmers of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Delhi. Due to which there was good production of wheat in India. From 1967 to 1968, it was emphasized that the scope of the scheme should not be limited to only one crop. Rather, the yield should be increased further by growing more and more crops in the same field one after the other i.e. simultaneously in a year. For this, the use of high yielding seeds was increased on the one hand, while on the other hand, new methods were used for cultivation and good arrangements for irrigation were also made.
Swaminathan developed new breeds of double millet, double corn, jowar, rice, wheat. Crops of moong, cowpea were prepared for summer. Many villages were developed in Delhi under Swaminathan’s leadership, where farmers only grew seeds. These farmers were given special training. Dr. Swaminathan promoted research on all types of cereals. She gave birth to Aruna, a new variety of linseed. This variety matures in four months and gets ready. In the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh, only one crop of linseed was grown, now two crops are grown. He developed double crop of jowar and Sujata variety of cotton. Under his leadership a new variety of barley was developed from which syrup is made. Apart from this, he also contributed in developing two varieties of jute.
Swaminathan often went from village to village for the development of crops and also discussed with the farmers. Facility of seeds, fertilizers and water was provided to the farmers of some selected areas. Other scientists also used to go from village to village to solve the problems of the farmers. A new enthusiasm spread among the farmers. The effect of Swaminathan’s efforts was starting to show. Farmers were also informed about new inventions through radio and newspaper. On the other hand, school children were also made aware of new varieties of crops and modern agriculture, which would increase the pace of progress in the coming times. He made successful efforts to publicize India’s progress outside India by holding a session of the Indian National Science Academy in Chandigarh and in other ways. Science Academy Dr. Swaminathan with Silver Jubilee Award. On this occasion 15,000 scientists and scholars from across the country and abroad participated. The ceremony was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi did it. The revolutionary research in the field of agriculture under the leadership of Dr. Swaminathan made India self-sufficient in the field of food grains. This revolution was called the Green Revolution. Indira Gandhi also issued a postage stamp on it.
Dr. Swaminathan was made a member of the Planning Commission in April 1979. On his advice, progress was completed by the commission. He was in the Planning Commission till 1982. His work was appreciated everywhere. Due to the success of his works, Dr. Swaminathan also got international fame. In 1983, he was made the Director General of the International Institute of Manila and he worked here till 1988. During this, he did unprecedented research on rice and was successful in developing an improved variety of rice.
Dr. Swaminathan is a hard working scientist. Getting up at five in the morning and working till late at night is included in his routine. They are skilled teachers, scholars and experienced administrators. His determination towards work is visible in every field. The musical darling Swaminathan has a profound effect on the South’s musician Tyaraj. His songs give him inspiration for life and he made special experiments in his works by linking the songs of Tyagaraja to science. He never resorted to shortcuts. Very few people would know that Swaminathan appeared in UPSC exam and also qualified for IPS, but due to his focus on genetics, he decided to work in agriculture.
Dr. Swaminathan was also fond of writing since childhood. At a very young age, he wrote an article in Rural India magazine, which went on continuously. Innumerable articles of his have been published in Indian and foreign magazines. He exposed almost every aspect of Indian agriculture. In 1971, he was appointed as the National Spokesperson of the UGC and gave speeches at international functions from time to time. He is also a skilled speaker. Swaminathan received great respect for his scientific work. In 1969, he was awarded the Dr. Shantiswaroop Award. Apart from this, he was decorated with Birbal Sahni Award and Padma Shri award in 1971. He also received international level Raman Mages Award for solving the food problem of the society.

He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1972 and the Padma Vibhushan in 1989. Dr. Swaminathan not only represented India on the agricultural stage in many countries but also increased the prestige and pride of India.

|Composer Max Bruch died October 2, 1920.
Bruch was born in Cologne, Germany, January 6, 1838. His mother was a famous singer, and was his first music teacher. He began his music studies on the piano.
Bruch started composing early. By the time he was 14 he had already written more than 70 pieces.
|Bruch started composing early. By the time he was 14 he had already written more lthan 70 pieces. In 1852, he wrote a symphony and a string quartet. The quartet was such high quality that he won a four year scholarship from the Frankfurt-based Mozart Foundation. This enabled him to study with Ferdinand Breunung, Ferdinand Hiller, and Carl Reinecke. .
He taught music and served as concertmaster in an orchestra for some years, then settled down to a life of composing, conducting, and occasional teaching.
The famous Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 26 is one of nine works Bruch composed for violin. The remaining works for violin include the Second and Third Concertos (both in D Minor), the Scottish Fantasy, Serenade, Konzertstück, In Memoriam, Romance, and Adagio Appassionato.
Bruch spent ten years working on his G-minor violin concerto When asked about the writing of the concerto, Bruch told his publisher:
"It is a damned difficult thing to do; between 1864 and 1868 I rewrote my concerto at least half a dozen times, and conferred with x violinists before it took the final form in which it is universally famous and played everywhere."
Among the violinists Bruch consulted were Johann Naret-Koenig, concertmaster of the Mannheim symphony and the great soloist Ferdinand David. But the violinist who gave him the most help was undoubtedly Joseph Joachim. He publicly acknowledged the help, and even published Joachim's letters of advice. Ultimately the concerto was dedicated to him.
Bruch's other famous violin work was his Scottish Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 46, or as it is properly titled, Fantasy for Violin with Orchestra and Harp, with the free use of Scottish Folk Melodies.Bruch composed his Scottish Fantasy in the winter of 1879-1880, and it was first performed in September 1880, with Pablo de Sarasate as soloist. The piece was dedicated to him.
Bruch was invited to conduct the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and remained there for three seasons(1880 – 1883). In 1883 Bruch left Liverpool and became director of the Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) Orchesterverein, where he stayed through the end of the season in 1890.
That autumn, Bruch took up an appointment as professor of composition at the Berlin Hochschule fur Musik, working there until his retirement in 1910 and retaining his rank as a professor there until his death in 1920.
1838 - 1920

It’s a question that has been debated for years – is it safe to shoot old ammo? The answer is generally yes, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First of all, factory centerfire cartridges have an amazingly long shelf life if they are stored properly. Secondly, many ballistics experts who have shot tens of thousands of rounds over the years report no problems with shooting 20- to 50-year-old ammo. Just make sure you store your ammo in a dry, cool place with low humidity and it should be good to go! However, there are some things you should keep in mind before taking aim at that tin can or paper target. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at shooting old ammo and discuss the potential risks and benefits of doing so.
One thing to keep in mind is that ammo is like any other type of consumable – it will eventually expire. The shelf life of ammo is directly related to the quality of the components used in its manufacture, as well as how it is stored. Ammo that has been exposed to high temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight is likely to have a shorter shelf life than ammo that has been kept in a cool, dry place.
Another thing to consider is where the ammo came from. Certain ammo has reputations for being bad so you might want to do some research before taking it to the range.
What to look for when examining old ammo?
If it is exceptionally old or poorly stored, you should be more cautious. You should inspect each round before loading or firing. There are some classic signs to look for when examining old ammo:
- Rusted or corroded cases or primers
- Splitting on the case neck before or after firing
- Damaged or missing primers
- Bullets that have come loose from the case
- Dented or creased cases
- Powder that has turned to a solid clump
- Difficult to load in your firearm
If you see any of these signs, it is best to discard the round. Ammo in this condition is not only unsafe, but it can also damage your firearm.
What are some of the risks of shooting bad or old ammo?
There is always a risk when shooting any ammo, and especially with surplus or reloaded ammo. The main risk is that the cartridge might not fire correctly, which could cause a dangerous situation. Hangfires – delayed ignition of the cartridge – are a common problem with old ammo. If you try shooting an old round and it goes “click” instead of “bang”, you may have had a hangfire. In that case, you will want to keep the firearm aimed downrange for several seconds. Some ranges ask that you wait 30-60 seconds before manipulating the rifle.
Another possibility when you hear a click instead of a bang is that you had a squib. A squib is a round that fires with very low pressure, which can cause the bullet to become lodged in the barrel. This can be very dangerous, as it can easily lead to a barrel obstruction. This is why it’s important to always inspect your ammo before loading it into your gun.
Bad ammunition can have catastrophic consequences. It could destroy your firearm and even maim or kill under worst case scenarios.
If you are unsure about whether or not a particular round is safe to shoot, it is always best to err on the side of caution and not fire it.
It is also important to note that much of the older surplus ammo out there is corrosive. This means you should clean your rifle right away after shooting it, otherwise the corrosive salts can cause serious damage to the bore and other parts of the gun.
DISCLAIMER: If you’re not sure about a round or bullet’s appearance or condition, don’t fire it. Discard of it properly.
Conclusion – Shooting old ammo
With all that being said, most ammo will be fine if it was stored well. I’ve been shooting some 1930/40’s headstamped Turkish 8mm for many years. I still have some and shoot it on occasion. Getting close to 80-90 years old now and still works great – though it is corrosive.
If the ammo is in good condition and you’re just looking to have some fun at the range, go for it! Just make sure you keep an eye on your targets and always follow the basic safety rules. Have fun and be safe!

Kerberos is an authentication and encryption protocol that allows you
to have secure connections over a public network. It was developed as
part of the Athena project of the MIT.
Details can be found at the Website of the Massachusets Institute of Technology:
SSH is perhaps in wider use, but Kerberos offers better security, IMHO.
IVT offers accurate support for Kerberos version 5 authentication and
The commercial version of IVT containing the
Kerberos/DCE functionality is available from
IVT is integrated with the DCE software from
During startup, IVT will detect such an environment and will use the
DCE32.DLL to access the DCE environment and obtain the location of the
It will generate a KRB5.INI file with the proper settings for
the (pure) Kerberos code to find and use.
The upshot of this is that you can install IVT in a Gradient DCE environment
and have instant integration: the credentials obtained during login
of your workstation will be used to authenticate against Kerberized
In environments without Gradient installed, you will have to supply
the KRB5.INI file yourself and use the
from my website to do the initial login. The current release of that kit
is based on release 1.6.3 of the MIT Kerberos code.
Perhaps even more important is the integration with Microsoft Active Directory.
Windows started using Kerberos as the underlying security protocol in Windows 2000.
For a change, Microsoft did not violate the RFC's - the Windows implementation can
work together with MIT Kerberos.
This means that you can obtain credentials from an AD domain that are valid
for MIT Kerberos servers, such as Kerberized telnet and Kerberized FTP servers.
Some of the most important advantages:
The Dutch Tax Office uses IVT and FileZilla in their network of 500 Unix machines (a mix of HP-UX and AIX) to
do remote, secure administration. File transfer between Unix machines is based on Kerberized rcp (remote copy)
and kftp (Kerberized File Transfer Protocol).
The X-windows tunneling supported by IVT even
provides secure X-windows. Credential forwarding (as supported by IVT) allows administrators
to use ktelnet on Unix (Kerberized telnet) from one Unix machine to another without reauthentication.
All this proves that the technology works in demanding environments to do real work in.

Premier Blaine Higgs announced the decision to bar seasonal foreign workers on Tuesday, which has drawn criticism from opposition parties as well as the industries that employ the workers.
Both the agriculture and seafood sectors depend on foreign labour and have questioned the government’s decision.
On the day of the announcement, Higgs said he had the support of the all-party cabinet. But that support appears to not have been unanimous.
“If there is general consensus it seems that decisions are made,” said Green Party leader David Coon.
“Unanimity is not part of the decision-making process.”

Coon also suggested that the decision was made in a “pressure-cooker situation” where about 175 workers were about to board planes for the province.

Joined By Legislators in 25 States In Request
TRENTON – Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Senate Democratic Conference Leader Bob Gordon and Senator Bob Singer joined a group of over 60 Jewish state legislators from across the United States in a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to appoint a Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat anti-Semitism.
The Trump Administration has signaled that it does not plan to replace the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism at the State Department. The remaining staff in that office will be transferred to other offices this month. The Special Envoy plays a key role in diminishing anti-Jewish hatred overseas — and has been mandated by law since the George W. Bush Administration.
This position has been important to fighting anti-Semitism and past envoys have made key accomplishments to fight hate abroad.
“We need to take action at every level to combat anti-Semitism, both in the United States and around the world. The Special Envoy plays a vital role in monitoring anti-Semitism across the globe and in developing strategies to combat it,” said Senator Weinberg (D-Bergen). “With our colleagues from 25 other states, we are asking the President to act expeditiously to make this appointment. Filling this position is crucial to the effort to fight hateful acts against members of the Jewish community wherever they occur.”
“Failing to appoint a Special Envoy would be an unacceptable reversal of United States policy aimed at combatting hate and violence. Presidents of both parties and Congress have supported this position, which is required by federal law, and it is imperative that this administration maintain the commitment to this effort in the Department of State by acting immediately. The United States must be a global leader in promoting religious freedom and protecting human rights. This is vital to that mission,” said Senator Gordon (D-Bergen and Passaic).
“In recent months we’ve seen numerous threats of violence against Jewish Community Centers throughout the country,” Senator Singer said (R-Monmouth and Ocean). “We must do more to keep anti-Semitism from taking root in our country and the rest of the world. We cannot continue to effectively track the rise in anti-Semitism, or deter people from committing these vile acts, without reappointing a Special Envoy. I hope that the administration will heed our call and fill this vacancy as soon as possible.”

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) said on Thursday that it continued to carry out regular bombardment of Islamic State (IS) positions in Syria and openly disagreed with recent comments about the militant group made by US President Donald Trump.
“The Royal Air Force has continued its bombardment of key Daesh (IS) targets in Syria, helping Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and coalition allies advance through Hajin, the terrorist group’s last significant territory,” read a statement released by the MOD.
“Typhoon and Tornado jets struck buildings, individuals and vehicles on a daily basis throughout the start of December, supporting the SDF efforts on the ground to recapture Hajin."
UK Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said, “The advance through Hajin is a huge milestone and shows that Daesh are being pushed further back into the shadows. Make no mistake though, although this is another significant battle won, much hard work still lies ahead to ensure we win the war.”
SDF press office head Mustafa Bali stressed in a statement on Friday that only 35 percent of Hajin had so far been liberated, contradicting earlier reports that the entire area had been cleared of IS.
The jihadi group’s fighters launched an attack on the village of Abu Khater, outside Hajin, the day before.
After President Trump stated that IS had been defeated in Syria on Wednesday and that he would withdraw US troops, UK lawmaker and Deputy Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood said he strongly disagreed with this position. “It has morphed into other forms of extremism and the threat is very much alive,” he tweeted in response to the US leader.
UK officials have since told the media that the White House has made it clear to them that Trump's comments signaled neither the end of the Global Coalition against IS, nor the campaign against the threat they posed.
The MOD said it would continue “to work with members of the coalition on achieving this, to deny Daesh territory and ensure its enduring defeat, working alongside our critical regional partners in Syria and beyond.”
“Much remains to be done and we must not lose sight of the threat Daesh will pose, even without territory.”
British diplomats have announced since Wednesday that they’d prefer the US to remain in Syria to continue stabilization efforts and the fight against IS.
Michael Stephens, Research Fellow for Middle East Studies and Head of RUSI Qatar, said that the different UK statements are consistent in terms of communicating, “Look, the fight isn’t over. We need to keep operating.”
However, he said it would be difficult for them to do so without US support. “This is a very difficult position for the UK. It’s one we don’t agree with. But there really is very little we can do if the US decides to pull troops out.”
“Ourselves and the French need to think of how to respond adequately. But I don’t feel it’s something they can burden share alone without US leadership,” he concluded.
Nicholas A. Heras, a Middle East security analyst at the Center for a New American Security, told Kurdistan 24, “France and the UK require U.S. support, particularly intelligence and logistical support, to maintain their force presence in Syria.”
“This support does not require a large U.S. presence in Syria, but it does require a U.S. commitment to stay engaged, even if from Iraq, in the stabilization mission after ISIS in Syria.”

UC Santa Cruz Students Occupy Kerr Hall
On Thursday, November 19th, the Regents of the University of California approved a 32% increase in undergraduate fees. As part of the ongoing local and global protests against the privatization of education, Kerr Hall at UC Santa Cruz, which contains the offices of the administration, vice-chancellors, and chancellors, was occupied by hundreds of students. The students created a list of demands which was read and given to UCSC's Executive Vice Chancellor David Kliger and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Felicia McGinty. The first three demands are to, "Repeal the 32% fee increase; Stop all current construction on campus; and UC funds and budget are made transparent."
The prior day, November 18th, hundreds of students shut down the two entrances to the UC Santa Cruz campus for several hours. Also on that day, students began an occupation of Kresge Town Hall where an assembly was held and many people spent the night.
