The concept of the "group show", where the general public is invited to view new work by a collection of artists, is a relatively recent one in art history: it all began with the Paris Salon, first held in 1737. And so it continued, rather stiffly, for the next 130 years or so, until the art world rebelled. Since then, many of the works that changed not only art but Western culture itself were introduced in one of the following landmark shows.
- The Salon des Refusés, 1863. This is the one that started it all: a showcase of artwork rejected by the Paris Salon that the French government agreed to share with the masses after angry artists protested the record-breaking amount of art that had been refused that year. Among the many "rejects" on display were paintings by Manet, Cezanne, and Pissarro – who would soon be at the forefront of Impressionism.
- The first "Impressionists" show, 1874. Due to the unexpected popularity of the Salon des Refusés, the humiliated Paris Salon denied artists' demands to hold any more such shows. So the aforementioned painters, joined by other key figures such as Renoir, Monet, and Degas, formed their own independent exhibition group, which they called the "Cooperative and Anonymous Association of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers", and held their first public show in 1874. Et voilà, Impressionism was born – though as any art history student would tell you, the term "Impressionism" was first used satirically by a snarky newspaper critic, based on the title of a Monet painting in the show.
- The first Salon d'Automne, 1903. Also battling the old-fashioned tastes of the Paris Salon, a newer group of avant-garde artists including Matisse, Rouault, and Derain held their own exhibition, the "Autumn Salon". It was here where modern art came to light, and modernist superstars including Picasso, Chagall, Braque, and Modigliani showed their early works here in subsequent shows.
- The first Blaue Reiter exhibition, 1911. We finally leave Paris for Munich, where German and Russian immigrant artists were staging their own protest against conservative salons and established a group meant initially to showcase the work of Wassily Kandinsky (the movement took its name from Kandinsky's "Blue Rider" painting). This show would lay the foundations not only for German Expressionism, but for abstract art in general.
- The Armory Show, 1913. Formally called the International Exhibition of Modern Art, this New York show was the singular event that introduced modern art to Americans, who were still accustomed to 19th century realism. With over 1,250 works of art from the likes of Picasso, Duchamp, van Gogh, Matisse, Degas, Munch and 300 others (including some Americans such as Mary Cassatt, Edward Hopper, and James McNeill Whistler), the show – both loved and loathed by members of the public – was nothing short of a blockbuster.
- Degenerate Art, 1937. The Nazi Party, famously nostalgic for German Romanticism, sought to demonize modern art as Marxist, depraved, and anti-German. So they held this touring show which featured 650 artworks – out of over 5,000 pieces forcibly removed from museums – by the likes of Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian, Max Ernst, and Paul Klee. This wasn't so much an "influential" exhibit as it was a dark moment in history and a reminder of how powerful contemporary art once was in society.
- The Ninth Street Show, 1951. Until the 1930s, the center of the art world remained in Europe, primarily in Paris. But with postwar Europe in shambles and many of its artists dead or emigrated out, the time was right for American modern art to come to the fore. And so it did in 1951, when artists belonging to the so-called New York School were thrust into the limelight. Among the many exhibited were Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Rauschenberg, Franz Kline, and Robert Motherwell. The show was arguably the moment when the center of the art world shifted to Manhattan.
- Helter Skelter: L.A. Art in the 1990s, 1992. New York ruled the art establishment with an iron fist for decades, which may explain the dearth of notable group shows since the '50s. But in the '70s and '80s, several important Los Angeles-based artists began to emerge. Today, their influence – inspired by pop art, cartoons, performance, satire, and surrealism – is widely felt. The Helter Skelter show at the L.A. Museum of Contemporary Art legitimized "outlaw" artists including Robert Williams, Jim Shaw, Paul McCarthy, Mike Kelley, Llyn Foulkes, and Raymond Pettibon.
- Art in the Streets, 2011. Too soon? Perhaps. But this exhibition, which is ongoing, even as I type this, at LA MOCA, is the first serious survey of graffiti art in an American museum. Since most young people with a passing interest in contemporary art are likely more familiar with names like Banksy and Shepard Fairey than they are with most living studio artists, this show at least captures our current cultural obsession with street art.

Plans to build a CVS pharmacy in Louisville’s Douglass Loop have reportedly been scrapped. The drug store would have replaced a number of businesses and buildings, including the Twig and Leaf diner. Louisville.com reports that the developers behind the CVS have scrapped their plans, and the whole ordeal has inspired a campaign to have the Twig and Leaf declared a landmark.
“The Landmarks Commission did receive a petition to designate the Twig and Leaf a historic landmark,” says Dave Marchal, urban design administrator for the City of Louisville. “Now we have to write a report, take it to the Public Works Commission and have a hearing, and they may designate it.” Approval may come as early as this October.
Despite the area outcry (including a 6,000-member Facebook group that called upon its members to call the developers to voice their opposition),public meeting held on the subject—complete with artist’s renderings of the proposed CVS—the development is not moving forward.
“Probably not on that particular location,” says Greg Potts of The Zaremba Group. We’ve pretty much dropped all our interest in it.”
Marchal says, “[Developers] may shop the idea around the neighborhood and try to build support, but that’s not happening.”

Pakistani Rupee (PKR) has been volatile since the beginning of the current week. On Monday, PKR lost against several major currencies in the interbank market, posted blanket gains against all major currencies on Tuesday, and showed mixed results on Wednesday. Today, however, was another good day for the Rupee, with improvement seen against all major currencies.
Against the US Dollar, however, PKR seems to be holding on to its position. PKR gained 25 paisas against the US Dollar (USD) today, after posting a gain of 10 paisas yesterday and gaining 15 paisas the day before, which came after a loss of 4 paisas on the opening day of the week.
PKR closed at Rs. 160.28 to the USD on Thursday (28 January) compared to Rs. 160.53 on Wednesday, which was an improvement upon the exchange rate of Rs. 160.63 on Tuesday. This was an improvement upon Rs. 160.79 on Monday.
Rupee Gains Further Against Dollar
Against other major currencies, PKR posted notable gains on Monday but reversed many of those gains on Wednesday. Today, PKR managed to fling towards improvement once again, with blanket gains against all major currencies in the international market.
The biggest fluctuation for PKR came against the Australian Dollar today with an improvement of Rs. 2.03. Yesterday PKR had lost 61 paisas to the AUD after putting gains of 86 paisas on Tuesday and losing 5 paisas on Monday. This is also notable because PKR does not usually fluctuate against the AUD by this degree.
The second notable improvement for PKR was against the GBP, where PKR posted gains of Rs. 1.73. Yesterday, PKR’s highest loss was against GBP with Rs. 1.5 deterioration. On Tuesday, PKR had improved by Rs. 1.42 to the GBP after losing 44 paisas on Monday.
Against the Euro, PKR posted gains of almost a rupee (98 paisas) on Thursday after a loss of 6 paisas yesterday. Tuesday had seen a notable gain of 85 paisas yesterday for PKR against Euro after a nominal gain of 2 paisas on Monday.
Against the Canadian Dollar, PKR improved by Rs. 1.3 today after losing 14 paisas yesterday. On Tuesday, PKR improved by 63 paisas against CAD, adding to Monday’s gain of 12 paisas.
Rupee Posts Blanket Gains Against All Major Currencies
The PKR has gradually been posting losses against both the UAE Dirham (AED) and the Saudi Arabian Riyal (SAR). Monday also saw the same trend but with a negligible loss of one paisa against each. Tuesday, however, saw PKR improve by 4 paisas against both these currencies. On Wednesday, the gains continued with 2 paisas improvement against both the currencies. Thursday pushed it further, with PKR improving by 6 paisas against both AED and SAR.

Slashdot has a book review on "Metaprogramming GPUs with Sh" by Michael McCool. Sh is one of the shading languages available for GPU programming, which was developed at the University of Waterloo. Rather than definining its own language, Sh uses regular C++ syntax to describe shader code, which is then dynamically (at runtime) compiled to a specific backend, such as a GPU or possibly even the CPU. It utilizes C++ operator overloading and defines special tuple and matrix types to make it possible.

Vodafone backtracks on plan to take programmatic ad buying in-house
Vodafone is having second thoughts about its own marketers buying programmatic ads.
The shift comes three months after the advertiser said it would buy most of its online ads itself. Since then, Vodafone has started to buy its own search and social media ads but has yet to do so for display. For this to happen the way the advertiser intended, it would need to build its own trading desk, which is far more complicated to do than setting up dashboards to buy ads from search engines and social networks.
When asked if it still had plans to buy its own programmatic campaigns, a Vodafone spokesperson sent the statement: “Vodafone Group announced it would bring search, social and display in-house some months ago. The Vodafone operating companies are currently working through how and when to do this. In the U.K. — one of the largest and most complex markets — it has been decided to approach this in phases. To date, we have brought search and social in-house. We are monitoring this closely and may review our approach and delivery of programmatic in due course.”
It’s unlikely, however, that Vodafone marketers will be bidding for programmatic ads anytime soon, said a media executive who discussed the plan with the advertiser. Internal tensions over whether the marketing or digital team would own and therefore fund the programmatic setup stalled its progress, said the executive, who pointed to the spiraling costs of ad tech, talent and publisher relationships as the key sticking point.
It’s a lot of time and money for an advertiser like Vodafone to commit to when it could pay a flat fee and leave those issues all to an agency instead. Indeed, Wavemaker will continue to buy the advertiser’s programmatic ads.
“Vodafone won’t buy as much digital media in-house as they thought they’d be able to,” said another executive working on the project. “It’s not happening to a degree, but the business will still try and find solutions for each market where they want to make it happen.”
That solution is more likely to resemble the hybrid model advertisers like Duracell and Adidas have adopted, whereby Vodafone would own the contract to the ad tech and, subsequently, the data going into it, and also steer the media strategy. In those instances, the agency would usually still buy programmatic ads; it’s just under the watchful eye of its client. Some of those advertisers that have tried to buy programmatic ads themselves have had to U-turn back to their agencies for help.
“There are so many intricacies to consider before you take programmatic in-house. It is far more than getting a demand-side platform contract in place,” said Scott Moorhead, the founder of media consultancy Aperto One and a former media buyer at Publicis and Havas. “The biggest hidden cost will always be a miscalculation as to how much time and effort will be required.”
For now, Vodafone will focus on ensuring marketers in all 25 of its main markets are able to buy ads on search engines and social networks themselves.
Search and social account for a sizeable part of the £200 million ($263 million) budget the advertiser reportedly spends on digital ads, which in turn is a third of the £600 million ($790 million) it reportedly spends on all its advertising. Buying more ads internally should give Vodafone more insight into how effective its ads really are, the advertiser’s CEO Vittorio Colao told investors in May. Understanding how ads are traded online will also fuel Colao’s plan to test whether Vodafone can feasibly build an advertising business that sells customer data to advertisers in a way that’s compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation.
Both Wavemaker and Brainlabs, the performance agency Vodafone hired to show it how to buy its online ads, declined to comment.

New York, NY, June 27, 2019 … ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) today welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to block the Commerce Department’s attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census for the time being. The Court labeled the Commerce Department’s rationale for adding the question – voting rights enforcement – as “contrived,” and sent the case back for further deliberations.
ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt issued the following statement:
We welcome the Court’s decision to block the Commerce Department’s attempt to add an unnecessary and discriminatory citizenship question to the 2020 census for the time being, and to maintain the integrity of the 2020 census. At ADL we have long opposed adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census as it would inevitably lead to undercounting historically under-represented communities, including immigrants. We have also questioned the motivations of such efforts, especially given the Trump administration’s incessant, harsh anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric. With this decision, the Court importantly recognized the false, pretextual basis of the citizenship question.
The citizenship question has already chilled participation of immigrant communities in our democracy and spread fear that census information would be used for immigration enforcement purposes. The consequences of inaccurate census data would be felt acutely in states with growing immigrant communities and communities of color.
Contrary to what the Commerce Department has argued, the citizenship question is not necessary to enforce the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Just the opposite, the citizenship question would undermine VRA enforcement by causing a disproportionate undercount of the very communities the law was designed to protect, including immigrants.
The Commerce Department and the Census Bureau now need to respect the Supreme Court’s decision and immediately proceed with preparations for a census without the citizenship question, preserving the constitutional and statutory responsibility to conduct a full enumeration of the U.S. population.
ADL is committed to continuing our work with coalition allies to ensure full and accurate participation in the census. We will continue to fight efforts that heighten fears across marginalized communities and distort our democratic process.
ADL joined with over 170 organizations on an amicus brief to the Supreme Court that explained how the citizenship question would inevitably lead to undercount of historically under-represented communities, including immigrants, and refuted the government’s argument that including a citizenship question is necessary to enforce the VRA.

The dry season lasts from the middle of October till the middle of June on the north of Senegal, and from the beginning of November till May at its south part. At this time of the year, it appears a dry north-eastern wind, called Harmattan, which brings the dust from the desert.
As for the wet season, it begins at the end of June and ends at the beginning of October on the north, while on the south it lasts from the end of May till the end of October. This time is also called hivernage, which means â€œwinteringâ€, but despite the name, this period is characterized by hot and humid weather.
The coolest months of the year are December and January, with the average daytime temperature of 32-34 Â°C. Then, from February the temperature begins to rise and reaches its highest temperatures from April to June, which is about 38-40 Â°C.
Yearly, here falls about 1,000-1,500 millimeters of precipitations on the south, while the annual rainfall amount on the north is 550-650 millimeters.
Senegal Weather Conditions for February 2020
As mentioned before, February is the time when the temperature begins to grow, therefore, it is obvious that this month will be warm, sunny and comfortable for traveling.
The average daytime temperature is about 24 Â°C, while an average temperature at night ranges from 18 Â°C to 19 Â°C. As for the precipitation amount, according to the weather forecast, no rainfalls are expected.

Musical selections by the 7 Australian Infantry Brigade Orchestra also featured in the performance.


Harry Potter's kid actors were forced to do homework and write essays while filming scenes for the Harry Potter franchise.
You might think landing a role in the Harry Potter franchise would exempt you from all of the challenges a typical teenager may have to go through including homework. Well you are wrong.
Oliver Phelps aka George Weasley said that the child actors were even forced to work on their home work while filming scenes, adding a ton of realism to every Hogwarts students' scene:
In the exercise books in the Great Hall set, we'd actually do our own school work, just to make it look as authentic as possible.
How cool is that? Though it was all for their own good. It's great to know that the producers behind the Harry Potter franchise truly cared about the actor's education and future. Besides, how many people can say they studied for their school exams in Hogwarts' Great Hall?
But it wasn't just homework the cast were forced to complete. In order to become more familiar with the film's three main stars, director Alfonso Cuaron had them write an essay examining each of their characters. Ironically, each character ended up mimicking their fictional character perfectly. Emma Watson wrote a 16-page essay, Daniel Radcliffe wrote a simple, one-page paper, and Rupert Grint never handed his in.

Over the weekend, Instagram basically broke when Andy Cohen had his baby shower. It was hosted by the OG Real HousewivesTeresa Giudice, Vicky Gunvalson, Kyle Richards, Ramona Singer, and NeNe Leakes, and every single current housewife was invited. As you probably know from watching hundreds of Instagram stories, it was a drunken sh*t show. Lisa Rinna was yelling at people on a microphone, and everyone was dancing on the tables. Basically, it was the party of my dreams, and following along was the best day of my life. There were dozens of housewives in attendance, but not everyone showed up. Who were the most important missing wives, and why weren’t they there? Let’s examine the evidence.
Given all of the drama surrounding Lisa Vanderpump recently, I didn’t really expect her to show her face at Andy’s baby shower. She basically ghosted Real Housewives of Beverly Hills halfway through filming the new season, so this party wasn’t high on her agenda. It is interesting considering that the party was organized by the other Housewives OGs, a group that she really should be a part of. Lisa hasn’t acknowledged her absence on social media at this point, but it looks like things aren’t great between her and Andy.
Besides Lisa, Bethenny was the most glaring omission from the guest list. Bethenny has been on Bravo for a decade, and she and Andy have definitely been close at some points during that time. It’s unclear if there’s major drama going on, but Bethenny wasn’t quick to comment on why she missed the shower. Early Monday morning, she finally addressed it in the weirdest way possible, with a picture of two freezing monkeys. Maybe it’s a metaphor for being left out in the cold? She tagged Lisa Vanderpump in the caption, but gave no explanation for why she wasn’t there. Also, she and Lisa have never even really been friends. This whole thing is very confusing, and I need to know more.
Kandi Burruss, one of the most beloved Atlanta housewives, wasn’t there, but she has a very solid excuse. She’s on the new season of Celebrity Big Brother, which means she’s literally trapped in a house with no access to the outside world. That sounds like a nightmare for many reasons, but mainly because she didn’t get to go to this party. Hope it was worth it, Kandi!
Porsha was the other main Atlanta housewife not in attendance, but she also has a good excuse. She’s currently very pregnant with her first child, so it’s understandable that she wasn’t about to hop on a flight across the country. No shade here.
Luann de Lesseps
The Countess Luann was not in attendance on Saturday, because the event probably wasn’t classy enough for her. Jk, I don’t know why she wasn’t there. Lu quickly addressed her absence on Instagram by reposting one of my favorite memes ever, but like Bethenny, she didn’t give a reason for not being there. She was promoting her cabaret show on social media the same day, but she didn’t actually have a performance or anything, so it’s unclear why she didn’t show up. Hopefully she did the Countess-like thing and RSVPed with the proper amount of notice.
When Kelly, from Orange County, didn’t show up, people immediately guessed that she wasn’t invited because she would cause drama. Unfortunately for my messy soul, that was not the case. Kelly was on a skiing vacation that had been planned for months, and she sent Andy a gift. She also posted this photo at the ski lodge with Lil Wayne, because her life is cooler than mine will ever be. I’m not sure what she’s doing with her hand, but hopefully it’s not an offensive gang sign. We may never know.
Out of the current Real Housewives of New Jersey cast, Melissa Gorga was the only one who didn’t show up at the baby shower. Sadly, she was busy attending her daughter Antonia’s cheer camp, because like family comes first or something. Cheer camp sounds lame AF, but whatever.
RHONY wasn’t super well-represented at the baby shower, with Luann, Bethenny, and Tinsley Mortimer all missing. While Bethenny and Lu have at least acknowledged that they weren’t there, there hasn’t been a peep from Tinsley. I don’t think Tins and Andy are super close, but that didn’t stop the randos of Potomac from showing up. What’s up, Tinsley?
The Entire Cast Of ‘Vanderpump Rules’
While all of the Real Housewives were invited to the party, the cast of Vanderpump Rules was notably absent from the baby shower. These people are probably the biggest stars on Bravo at this point, but they will always be treated like second-class citizens. It’s probably a good thing that James Kennedy wasn’t there, considering how wasted everyone looked, but it does seem like a snub. Stassi wasn’t afraid to say so, and posted multiple times about stalking the party on Instagram. I have never related to Stassi Schroeder so hard in my life.
There were several other Housewives not in attendance, but they’re pretty much randos who no one give a f*ck about. Too bad for them, because they clearly missed the party of the century. Andy’s baby is reportedly due as soon as this coming weekend, so hopefully there will be some great housewife Instagram posts when the baby is born. Can Lisa Rinna please be my aunt?

Brussels pushes for European vaccination certificate and 70% of population to be immunised in summer
Part of a contract with a pharmaceutical company has been published following criticism from MEPs
BrusselsThe vaccination campaign in the European Union is not going fast enough. Until now European leaders like the Danish and Finnish Prime Ministers Mette Frederiksen and Sanna Marin had asked the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in writing to press the accelerator; today the EU executive has taken up the request and formally asked all EU governments to commit to vaccinating 70% of the adult population before the summer. This is a clear message in view of the meeting by video conference that the EU-27 have this Thursday with the covid as the only item on the agenda and in which they will also talk about the creation of a European vaccination certificate to which the Commission is favourable.
Brussels is calling for at least 80% of the population over 80 years old and 80% of health workers to have been vaccinated by March, and undertakes to make all its "potential" available to governments, as well as that of the European Medicines Agency. "We need to accelerate the vaccination campaign," said European Lifestyle Commissioner Margaritis Schinas. "These objectives are achievable," added Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides. The executive admitted that at the start of the vaccination campaign not enough doses of the first vaccines to be authorised in the EU (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) had arrived. In addition, Pfizer had distribution problems and postponed the delivery of some doses to countries such as Spain.
Thus, the Commission is committed to making all the tools available to Member States to speed up the process, acting as an intermediary with the pharmaceutical companies and also with the joint tendering of the medical equipment needed for the campaign, but it does not specify much more about what the states have to do to speed up the process. Brussels detects considerable differences in the speed of vaccination between countries. In fact, according to data collected by the Bruegel think tank, Germany, Italy and Spain are the countries that have immunised the most people, but with population percentages below 1%.
Vaccination certificates, not passports
At the same time, the Commission has fully entered the debate on the creation of a vaccination certificate. The Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, also proposed this in a letter to Von der Leyen and, despite the fact that some governments have expressed disagreement, Brussels has decided to work on implementing it before the end of the month. As Schinas explained, the Commission considers that they must be European "medical" certificates, which are recognised by all Member States, but in no case "passports" that provide travel facilities or preferential access to certain services as Greece demanded. Some countries consider that it would be discriminatory for those citizens who have not yet had the opportunity to be vaccinated. According to Schinas, a sufficient percentage of the population must be vaccinated first.
The Commission's other major concern is that, in view of the new variants of the coronavirus which have so far proved to be more contagious than the first, European governments will once again close borders and restrict travel. Schinas said the travel bans or flight suspensions are "not justified" and are very "disruptive". Brussels has been against closing borders from the beginning of the pandemic because of the consequences for the Schengen area and the free movement of people, goods and services.
Lack of transparency
Although Brussels has been praised for the effort and speed in centralising the purchase and authorisation of covid vaccines, it has also been criticised for the lack of transparency in explaining the negotiations and conditions agreed with the pharmaceutical companies. Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides was also criticised by a number of MEPs on Tuesday. Only CureVac, one of the pharmaceutical companies with whom there is a pre-agreement to buy more than 200 million vaccines, has agreed to publish the contract and partially. Until now MEPs have been able to view it in a closed reading room without being able to take photographs.
Following the criticism, the Commission made it public but censured the parts that the company did not want to be made public, which are precisely those referring to the costs of financing and doses, the distribution schedule and possible compensation. In the section of the contract that can be read, it is clear that it is the governments that will have to pay compensation if there are problems with the use of the vaccine, but the key conditions are censored.
Socialist MEP Nicolás González Casares, who was able to consult the contract under the confidentiality conditions set by the Commission, was unhappy with the way Brussels finally made the text public, pointing out that it was only one of six contracts signed by the Commission. "The missing information is more important qualitatively than quantitatively and I imagine that if the other contracts are made public they will also be in the same vein," González Casares told ARA.
Ciudadanos MEP Soraya Rodríguez spoke in the same vein: "We do not even see a formalised contract, because the CureVac contract is a pre-contract with a company whose vaccine has not even been authorised," she told ARA. The two parliamentarians demand more transparency. "I am worried that we are talking about the opacity of the contracts, because this debate feeds denialist discourse and conspiracy theories," Rodriguez lamented.

Bellingham Mayor Dan Pike delivered 'State of the City' speeches recently to the Bellingham City Council and the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce. In each, he highlighted accomplishments from 2010 and key initiatives in the year ahead that will help us meet our most important community goals.
Pike is cautiously optimistic about the economy in his remarks.
"So much was accomplished in 2010 and we have much to do in 2011. I believe we have weathered the worst. Revenues are looking slightly better in recent months but we all know that they will not grow faster than known institutional expenses, so let us feel better, turn our eyes to the future but also avoid temptation to stretch beyond our means."
"We can take our fair city and make it better with the tools we have and will create. I look forward to that important work. And, again, I thank you for the privilege of serving as your Mayor."
In each presentation Pike highlighted City economic development efforts, actions to protect Lake Whatcom, government efficiency measures and advances in stewardship and sustainability. He also expressed thanks to community members, volunteers and City employees.

Abstract: Inonising irradiations used mostly in the treatment of tumoral deseasses are: X γ, β and e iradiations. The aim of this study is the investigation of gradient of β-particles irradiation energy. The discussion will be about radiations, produced in linear accelerators, electron energy from 5-14 MeV. It is important to know, the absorption performance, before and after, the electronic equilibrium. Weve use the function of dose gradient for iradiations β. It represents the velocity of dose change as a function of depth in tissue. From skin to maximum dose value, the increase of G-function is more accentuated for γ-rays than for β-particles while after that the G-function decreasing is less sharp for γ-rays while for β-particles it is almost promptly. This fact, allow us to use in radiotherapy not only γ-rays but β-particles too. The lasts, represents, a much more efficient tool, especially in terms of radiation protection of health adjacent tissues and organs. Finally well discus, about the advantages in terms of radiation protection of β-particles used in radio therapy.

We're not talking about Iraqi citizens where talking about American soldiers, whom most see as agressive Imperialist invaders, doing all of this next to the site of a ruined masjid. We are talking about American citizens, people living and working in America, wanting a better outlet then the one they presently have, within there own community, to practice their religion. The two are completely different. I see though, you're defining the "people of the neighborhood," as non-Muslims and the foreign, despised "other," as the Muslim residents. Nice.

Circular economy discussion at BASE Conference 2012June 21, 2012
A range of experts and practitioners will seek to identify opportunities to adopt a circular economy approach for London at this year’s BASE Conference, taking place in the capital today.
The session will be hosted by the Aldersgate Group, and will welcome experts including Neil Harris, of Founding Partner Cisco, and Douwe Jan Joustra, whose One Planet Architecture Institute works to further circular economy development in the Netherlands.
Base London was set up in 2010 to determine how policy initiatives translate into delivery opportunities for the private sector in areas such as retrofitting homes, public buildings and offices, renewable and decentralised energy, transport, waste as a resource and recycling.

We use WebDAV to share Outlook calendars.
I set up a WebDAV server with IIS on Windows 2012 R2. It works fine.
This Windows 2012 R2 is on the local network and it belongs to an Active Directory's domain. Every client are also on the local network, and belong to the same domain.
The WebDAV's IIS site only use "Windows authentication", which is the recommended setting.
When a domain user access a WebDAV share for the first time, he has to wait about 5 seconds before he is required to enter credentials. The user then type his domain user/password and the access is granted.
The WebDAV credentials are stored into the Windows's credentials cache (you can see/modify then with
If the user then change his domain password, the access to the WebDAV share no longer works, because the credentials used are the old ones stored into the cache.
This behavior is seen when using WebDAV from Outlook and from explorer.
We currently need only to solve the problem for Outlook.
Question: How to make Outlook use the currently logged user credentials, instead of asking to type it? So when the user change his password, everything still work.
Update: On a client computer I explicitly put the WebDAV share into the intranet zone of Internet Explorer. I also explicitly configured Internet Explorer to use the current user's credentials (this is not the default setting). But no improvement.


I am trying to use drawrectangle
but what i want is the drawrectangle to have a specific increment ie: 0.5, 1.0...
but when i am using drawrectangle, after dragging to a different shape, the length, width, x coordinate and y coordinate will have some values such as
ROI moved current position: [3.50552486187845 3.89719626168224 5 5]
the values above are taken via a listener
instead of the above values, i want the values of the drawrectangle to be set as
ROI moved current position: [3.5 3.5 5 5] increments of 0.5
is that possible?
can it be done in the listener function?

Brisbane Qld 2009
Back in late 2009 I must have read something, found something to inspire me to finally start trying to grow food in earnest. Perhaps I met the guy at the markets who eventually made my raised beds (new idea to the market then). I don't remember. All I know is that I suddenly realised I had to turn my backyard into veg beds rather than the croquet lawn I had planned for this area.
We were coming out of a nasty long period of real drought. You can see how dry the ground was - that's Freya and Gretel (now passed) both Miniature Pinschers. They used the garden edging like a train track. The drought had all but ruined gardening for me and others have told me the same. We finally started getting a bit of rain and hope returned.
Here is a LINK to the original Blog which contains a lot more waffling on. I was very excited by the whole project!
This is the gist blog I wrote at the time in 2010:
Ok, so I've put in the elevated garden beds - 3x 4Mx1Mx60cm. The idea of these being that they will be easier to garden as I get older and find it harder to bend over, the soil inside will end up deep and rich and the dogs can't get in! I'm very happy with the beds I bought from KISS Products and will put in a matching rainwater tank as soon as $ allows.
The beds were delivered around the beginning of December 09. I asked quite a few people how I should orientate them and ended up facing the long side north/south. I have been attempting to fill them since (it's now April).
Thought about buying a huge pile-o dirt and shoveling endlessly, and once upon a time I could have shoveled all day no trouble, but no longer an option due to aging body and lack of space to keep the pile-o dirt (my car would have had to sit out in the open - not good in our area where people come around at night and smash windows).
So, I cadged my mower guy into bringing me bags of grass all summer, bought horse poo, buckets of ground rock (granite and basalt) for minerals, chook poo from the neighbour, lucerne bales ($!), straw bales (even more $!). Down at the very bottom is the rough stuff out of the giant sugarcane mulch bales I bought from a charity run.
I reached the top of the beds numerous times but of course, the composting process ensured the levels went down quickly. In the end (this month, April) I ran out of planting patience, bought some bags of garden soil (easy for me to bring home in the car and cart into the back yard) and planted seed and seedlings.
All my vege seed has come from Diggers (2015 NOTE - no longer a member, I can buy good seed locally without the membership fee) - some of the seedlings came from Bunnings (won't do that again as not very good quality. 2015 NOTE They have since improved and I often buy from Bunnings but prefer my local farmers market at Caboolture ) and some from a nice young man at the Caboolture markets ($2 a punnet and very healthy).
I've been a gardener for decades, won awards for best new garden and best native garden, but I know virtually nothing about vege gardening apart from a few spasmodic attempts at this and that throughout the years which weren't very successful. I have read a fair bit, asked a lot of questions and attended a permaculture training session at Northey Street City Farm. The more questions I asked about what I should plant when, the more confusing it all got (I found it best to plant according to your local climate, not the instructions on the packet). The more gardening forums/sites I joined the more I realised how much I still have to learn and how conflicting others opinions can be.
I do live in SE Qld and it's still warm plus the beds are generating heat from down below as they compost. So I decided to just go ahead and plant whatever took my fancy! Nothing to lose but a few seed if it didn't work. This has remained my ethos. Give it a go! What's to lose.
Seed planted is:
Photos might be slightly out of synchronized order, partly due to my stupidity in not adding the right date to the camera.
I check the beds each morning at dawn and give them a water. Amazing how they manage to mostly dry out during the day. The dew at night makes them look moist again in the morning. If I wasn't home on holidays and checking them during the heat of the day I would think they were remaining moist from the morning water.
There's little fruit growing on the zuchinni already, little green and yellow ones, and I notice for the first time that they have both male and female flowers. They seem to bloom on alternate days though which is a little confusing. How does the male fertilise the female like this?
There's some damage to the leaves - grey spots and dead spots. I've made up a spray which is a combination of all the recipes I've been given - has molasses, bi-carb, garlic, chilli, detergent and oil. Left out the milk bit as I reckon that would go off. Used up half the bottle this morning spraying the leaves of everything (things are chewing on the corn also). Will have to get a bigger bottle. The Samford (garden) group is coming over tomorrow so I've left the affected leaves on so they can have a look.
2015 NOTE I have long ago given up trying these home made "remedies" for what ails the plant. If it has caterpillars on it, I squash them and leave them in situ - puts off the moth/butterfly laying more eggs. If it has mold on it I remove the leaves or consider the plant past it's used by date or simply in the wrong spot, and remove it. Everything gets cut up and composted back into the beds.
I planted some chilli seeds yesterday and also have some tiny ones coming up in a pot. Never thought I would find chilli this useful :S
2015 NOTE Rats love chilli fruit! I now have about 5 varieties growing and use maybe one a week...but I like the look of them and others appreciate the fruit.
These are the fruit trees I have growing at the moment also:
I also have asparagus growing in the regular beds. Too new to have any crop as yet. The sweet potato are prolific in their growth but I have never yet found a usable one (2015 NOTE for a long time now I grow SP successfully in bags with a tower.) . They used to grow huge at my last property (acreage) and popped out of the ground, so easy to find. Not here.
The avo is in the front yard, away from the dogs lol. They just love avo's and would steal any that fell to the ground. They also love strawberries - hopefully with these (mostly) now in the elevated beds I'll get some for myself! (2015 NOTE I have never really succeeded with strawberries but then I put little effort into them too - all that thinning and replanting, no time for it.) They also consider corn cobs a great treat - as good as a bone. They hoard the left over cob for ages chewing on them - has to be good for their teeth.
This was also the year I first tried growing potatoes (see original blog) and the commencement of the breaking of my heart with continued failures. Read the Potato growing blog. Now I know what to do :) and have hope of success finally.
I also started making Weed Tea that year. I still keep a big tub of water sitting there and fallen fruit and weeds get thrown in. I had a solar percolator there for a while thanks to Elaine but it eventually died and has just been replaced. I give the tea a good blast with high pressure hose every few days to aerate it. Good for seedlings and just generally throwing into the beds.
I also started growing Yakon. Which is a whole other story :)

This paper provides causal empirical evidence that rural-urban migration lowers urban rm productivity in developing countries. We use longitudinal data on Chinese manufacturing firms between 2001 and 2006, and exploit exogenous variation in rural-urban migration due to agricultural price shocks for identification. We nd that following a migrant infl ow, labor costs decline and employment grows. Within firm, labor productivity decreases sharply and remains low in the longer run. Within industry and location, it is low productivity rms that grow the most, so that aggregate labor productivity falls even faster. Since migrants favor high-productivity destinations, migration strongly equalizes factor productivity across locations.


DETROIT (97.1 The Ticket) In the wake of ranking 77 on the NFL’s elite quarterbacks list — behind Jay Cutler and Tony Romo — the Lions’ Matthew Stafford said fans will see a new team this year.
“Obviously we have a lot of the same players but it’s a new team, new identity, a new year,” he said during an interview on 97.1 The Ticket. “We’ll have different challenges this year than we did last year. The good thing for us is we have been in the same offense for three-and-a-half years now.”READ MORE: Science of Weather: Sea Life Michigan Turtles
And that new team still involves the much-celebrated star receiver Calvin Johnson. So, will Stafford throw automatically to Johnson?
“You know when he’s playing as well as he can and I’m doing my thing I think it’s probably when our offense plays its best,” Stafford said. “I think teams know that and they try to take him away. The best thing about it is the other guys on our team do a great job at winning their match-ups.”
And that defense trying to hold Johnson at bay has come up with some pretty creative moves.READ MORE: Motown Museum Set To Reopen This Weekend With Expansion Project Near Completion
“We played the Saints and they put the punt return vice on Calvin down there on the goal line so we couldn’t throw the fade,” Stafford said. “Dallas basically put a diamond around him, so I’ve seen it all.”
Another person Stafford looks forward to playing with again this year is Titus Young.
“I think Titus had a great year last year,” he said. “If we could just get a repeat performance of that. He played well for us in the clutch. He’s a kid that has some very special traits. It’s fun to have him on the other side of Calvin.”
So how important is Jahvid Best on this year’s team?MORE NEWS: Senate GOP Facing Criticism Following Insulin Cap Vote
“I think Jahvid is very important,” Stafford said. “He’s a special player, a guy out of the back field that can score every time he touches the ball. He’s a guy we can put out as a slot receiver. I honestly don’t know what the deal with Jahvid is. Coach Schwartz probably has a better grasp on that than any of us. We’re hoping to see him back soon if we can.”

Lauren Sivan kicked off her career at the young age of 19 at Fox News Channel. However, her first work experience didn’t go well for her. In a 2015 interview with focusmag.us, she said, “I crashed the news van on my very first day. Figured that was the end of my news career. But thankfully, my bosses were forgiving and had insurance.”
Before her television career, she worked as a producer of Fox & Friends. In 2003, she had her first work experience as a morning anchor and a reporter at WETM-18 News. After that, she became an anchor for News 12 Long Island in 2005.
While working for the news channel, she covered many major news events like Israel/Lebanon conflict and immigration issues, both of which earned her Emmy nominations.
In September 2008, Fox News Channel enlisted her as the overnight breaking news reader in New York City. Over the years, Lauren has reported for The Fox Report, On The Record, The Strategy Room, and regularly appeared on the late night program Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. She is presently an anchor at Fox 11 News.
Lauren's net worth hasn't been disclosed but longterm involvement with Fox News must have surely benefitted her financially.

Robyn Williams: The Science Show on RN, where we turn now to the aforementioned FameLab. Some kind of three-minute thesis competition has been going on in Australia since about 2002 with fresh science, the competitions at various universities, and now Falling Walls. But the FameLab competition finals were held in Perth last week, courtesy of the British Council here. And the winner was Erinn Fagan-Jeffries from the University of Adelaide.
Erinn Fagan-Jeffries: I'm about to ask you to imagine something so horrible and so shocking, I'll understand if you’ll all need counselling tomorrow. Imagine a world with no potatoes. Yes, no hot chips, no roast potatoes in the oven…hands up if you are getting a bit distressed. Yes…all right, all right, it's obviously not the worst thing in the world but when we are talking about food production it's no laughing matter.
With 7 billion people in this world and an ever-growing population, being able to grow crops like potatoes in a most effective and sustainable way possible is vital, and Australia's potato crops recently came under threat from an imported pest from South America, the evil potato moth caterpillar.
But never fear, scientists came to the rescue. Scientists knew that in South America this caterpillar had a natural enemy of its own, a parasitic wasp. This wasp laid her eggs inside the caterpillar, and the baby wasps ate the caterpillar from the inside out. And the best thing about these wasps is that they were really specific. So each kind of wasp could only attack one or two kinds of caterpillars, meaning we could use them in crops without it affecting the rest of the environment.
We have thousands of native parasitic wasp species here in Australia, so if one of our caterpillars suddenly became a pest, either of a food crop here or was accidentally exported overseas, we'd potentially have the right wasp for the job. Except for one problem; so many of these wasps have barely been studied. And that's what I'm trying to fix. I'm a taxonomist working on a group of these wasps called the microgastrines, and I'm trying to work out what caterpillars they parasitise. But of course when I catch a caterpillar in the bush or I catch a wasp, I can't ask the wasp what caterpillar it's going to attack…unless any of you have learned to speak wasp lately. No? Okay.
What I'm trying to do is actually use the DNA inside the wasp's guts. So just like if you ate a banana for breakfast and then immediately afterwards you let me rip out your stomach and look at the DNA inside, I wouldn't only find your DNA, I'd also find the DNA of the banana. And it's the same with the wasps. As they eat the caterpillar they ingest this DNA and then when they emerge from the caterpillar the digestion stops and some of that DNA stays inside. If I can get it out I can use it like a fingerprint, match it to an online database of caterpillar DNA and work out what caterpillar that wasp was eating.
The other way I'm trying to solve this problem is by using your help. Are you keen to do some science? I said, are you keen to do some science?! Excellent, you've all just signed up for my citizen science project, The Caterpillar Conundrum. Google it when you get home. I'm asking people to rear caterpillars they find in their backyard, and then if wasps come out we can match the wasp to the caterpillar. Together we can build this wasp weapon arsenal so that if we have to fight our caterpillars for our food in the future, we can win. Oh, and next time you eat a potato, don't forget to thank the wasp that saved it. Thank you.
Robyn Williams: A horrible question; when the caterpillar is being eaten, it is alive of course?
Erinn Fagan-Jeffries: Yes, and it can sometimes take weeks. So the caterpillar is moving around, still eating your veggie patch, while inside it are the wasps eating away.
Helen O’Neil: I'm a bit flummoxed after that one. I think I'll ask the question we asked of one of the other ones; what brought you to wasps?
Erinn Fagan-Jeffries: Well, I've always been interested in insects, and I think that all children are. All children find the world around them fascinating, they are born scientists, and I was lucky enough to have a really encouraging environment where my mother let me have stick insects and giant cockroaches in the house, and amazing science teachers that just meant I never grew out of that fascination with insects. And the wasp project had some amazing applications, it was something that had a real-world ending, I was doing something that could help people keep eating their chips.
Renae Sayers: So obviously agriculture is super, super important to our well-being and our economy and all the important things. So are other people looking after other types of crops, looking at these sorts of solutions from parasites, or is this something that you are just working on out on a limb?
Erinn Fagan-Jeffries: No, definitely not. There's heaps and heaps of work going into biocontrol, which is what we call when we use one organism or one animal to kill the pest rather than having to use pesticides. And to be honest I'm kind of doing this really ground work, trying to describe the species and work out what caterpillars they eat, then I hand that knowledge on to the applied entomologists and they then actually work out, well, how can we make this commercial, how can we make it work in our crops.
Robyn Williams: Thank you.
Erinn Fagan-Jeffries: Thank you very much.
Robyn Williams: The winner of FameLab in Australia, Erinn Fagan-Jeffries, from the University of Adelaide, and she'll now go to Cheltenham in Britain for the global finals.

Zia May: Thank you.
Robyn Williams: Lisa Mitchell, chosen by Zia May in Perth, aged 12.
Wasps often parasitise specific caterpillars. Showing their love, they lays eggs inside the caterpillar. Baby wasps then eat the caterpillar from the inside. So wasps make ideal agents for biological control. Errin Fagan-Jeffries is using the gut contents of Australian wasps and DNA analysis to determine the wasps’ caterpillar of choice. The work is now part of a citizen science project, The Caterpillar Conundrum. This is Erinn’s presentation at FameLab in Perth, organised by The British Council, where Erinn won first prize.

Value of State Crops Grows
Oklahoma's major farm crops grew to almost $1.2 billion in value in 1988, an increase of 37 percent over 1987, state officials said Wednesday.
Strong increases in price and production of winter wheat led the value gain, the Oklahoma Agriculture Statistics Service said. The 1988 winter wheat crop had a value of $604.8 million based on current price estimates, almost double the 1987 estimated crop value of $318.8 million, the service said.
Hay remained the second most valuable Oklahoma farm crop in 1988, gaining 13 percent to reach an estimated $314.5 million, the service said. Peanuts was third at $61.4 million, an increase of 7 percent from 1987, the service said.
Nationally, U.S. Agriculture Department statistics said the total value of farm crop production was $70.2 billion, a 2.5 percent increase from 1987.
Gains of 42 percent in the value of winter wheat production, 19 percent in baled hay and 14 percent in grain sorghum, helped offset declines in the value of other crops that suffered heavy drought-related production decreases, the USDA said.
Chief among those latter crops was corn, which had a 1988 production value of $13 billion nationally, down 7 percent from 1987, the agency said. The USDA currently estimates the average market price for the 1988 corn crop at $2.60 a bushel, up 34 percent from 1987 estimates.
The 1988 production of corn for grain was only 4.92 billion bushels, however, a loss of 30 percent from 1987, it said.
The crop value report is based on final estimates of 1988 production for the various crops and preliminary market year average price estimates released by the USDA.
The department said preliminary price estimates reflect marketings through November 1988 for most of the crops; through mid-December for a few. Later average price estimates will be made on crops including wheat whose 1988 crop marketing years have not ended.
Those price adjustments may raise the value of the 1988 wheat crop in Oklahoma and other major producing states. The official wheat marketing year lasts until May, and wheat prices have been moving higher for several months under pressure from continuing export sales and declining wheat stockpiles.
The USDA estimates the average market year price for all the 1988 wheat crop at $3.70 a bushel nationally and $3.50 for Oklahoma. The March wheat contract settled at $4.31 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade Wednesday, and the grain was selling at between $3.81 and $3.98 a bushel at Oklahoma grain elevators.
State farm statisticians estimate the final 1988 wheat crop was 173 million bushels, a 33 percent gain from 1987. The $3.50-a-bushel value currently estimated for the 1989 crop is 43 percent higher than the 1987 crop's $2.45 season market price.
Besides wheat, Oklahoma crops showing sharp percentage gains in value were peaches (338 percent), pecans (115 percent) and rye (100 percent), the service said. BIOG: NAME:

Prime Minister John Key is under fire for failing to halt the GCSB's surveillance of New Zealanders when he was first told of potential legal problems with that work in July last year.
But Mr Key has defended that decision as his Government pushes for a law change that would ensure future GCSB surveillance of New Zealanders on behalf of the SIS and police is beyond legal challenge.
In the fallout from Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Kitteridge's report revealing the GCSB may have illegally spied on New Zealanders 88 times in the past decade, Mr Key has faced claims he misled the public about the matter. The Opposition are calling for an independent inquiry into the affair.
Mr Key said GCSB director Ian Fletcher first mentioned a "potential issue" with him last July and the matter was "unresolved" when the GCSB halted its assistance to the SIS and police in September because of the Dotcom case.
However, Labour Leader David Shearer said that was inconsistent with Mr Key's comment in September that he had never had advice in four years as minister responsible for the GCSB "that they in any way ever acted unlawfully" apart from in the Kim Dotcom case.
Mr Key yesterday stood by that comment saying that despite questions raised by Inspector General of Intelligence and Security Paul Neazor, "the advice I had from both the GCSB and SIS legal teams was that they believed, and I might add continue to believe, that the work that they were doing was absolutely legally correct".
However, Mr Shearer said "if there was any question that these intelligence agencies were spying illegally they should have stopped the spying then and there".
In snap debate yesterday, Labour deputy leader Grant Robertson said that after learning of the potential problems in July, Mr Key had "covered up that fact".
"What is worse is he did nothing about that information."
Mr Shearer and Green Party co-leader Russel Norman say they will oppose the Government's proposed overhaul of the GCSB Act. Government support partners United Future and Act said they wanted to see what was being proposed before deciding whether to support it.
Mr Robertson said there was never any intent in the GCSB act that the bureau would spy on New Zealanders because of the fact it worked closely with foreign Governments.
"The SIS can spy on New Zealanders because that information will stay in New Zealand."
But Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said Section 14 of the 2003 act, which prevented the bureau spying on New Zealanders, was only included in the legislation by then Prime Minister Helen Clark "to get the votes in the House".
The issue was not whether New Zealanders could be spied on "because they can" but "the issue here is whether the SIS can use the GCSB to carry out some of that function".
"The assumption has always been that they can."
Meanwhile, Mr Key yesterday said he was considering an inquiry into how Ms Kitteridge's report was leaked to the media this week.

FAQ2: How to select the IP rating for an industrial monitor?
The answer to this question ultimately depends on the environment in which your fixtures will be installed. If your fixtures will be subjected to dust, sand, debris, or liquids, choosing a fixture with a high IP rating is advised. To decide which IP rating is suitable for your project, examine the space where the fixture will be placed. Typically, low IP ratings are used for areas such as indoor settings and sealed fixtures. High-IP-rated fixtures are used for outdoor locations subjected to a greater amount of liquids and dust, areas with a large footfall, wet locations, and unsealed locations.

Bharat Bandh Impact In Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, UP, Maharashtra
Today Bharat Bandh have been called by nearly 35 scheduled caste organizations to protest against the amendment of Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act or SC/ST Act passed in the Parliament in July. This Act protects marginalized communities against discrimination and atrocities.
In March the Supreme Court expressed their concerns that the misuse of the ACT. The Supreme Court ruled that public servants cannot be prosecuted without the approval of the appointing authority and citizens too should be arrested only after an inquiry under the law. The protest was seen against this amendment and the Bharat Band Impact can be seen in parts of Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Have a look at the impact of Bharat Bandh at various places of India.
Bharat Bandh impact in Bihar: Trains were stopped in Bihar
Bhart Bandh in Bihar has taken a bad face. The trains are forcibly stopped and railways tracks, highways were blocked as upper caste communities tried to impose Bharat bandh. Protestors stopped train in Darbhanga and Munger’s Masudan.
Various protestors set the fire to Tyres in Mokama. They also blocked road in Badh during Bharat Bandh protests. Also Markets remained closed in most part of the state.
Bharat Bandh impact in Madhya Pradesh- petrol pumps remain closed in Bhopal
In Madhya Pradesh, shops and business remain closed in the entire state. No Petrol Pump was open in Bhopal and that is why the vehicular movements were badly affected. The Police have issued high alert in 35 districts across the state. More than 33 security force companies and nearly 5000 security personnel have been deployed.
The police said, “Forces have been divided judiciously across the districts. It has been peaceful till now. Nobody can force anyone to be a part of the bandh.”
The Madhya Pradesh Administration has imposed section 144 of the Criminal Procedure code in various districts and cities of Madhya Pradesh.
The places include Chhatarpur, Shivpuri, Bhind, Ashoknagar, Guna, Gwalior and Katni. Drones are being used for surveillance in Gwalior.
Earlier in April, the Gwalior-Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh saw large-scale violence during the Bharat Bandh called by scheduled caste groups in which four people were killed.
Bharat Bandh impact in Rajasthan: shops remained closed in Kota and Ajmer:
Shops remained closed in Rajasthan. Shops in Kota, Ajmer remained closed due to nation-wide bandh and protests took place in Alwar.
Bharat Bandh impact in Maharasthra (Thane), Uttar Pradesh
Widespread protests and rallies took place in several parts of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. In Thane’s Navghar area, people came out on roads to protest.

And shops remained closed in Lucknow due to Bharat Bandh.


As it turns out, BEL is willing to invest up to $50 million in DroneDek’s project to see the smart receptacle enter production and be delivered worldwide.
According to the statement of Dan O’Toole, DroneDek founder and CEO, the new collaboration with BEL gives his company the edge and credibility it's been looking for in the marketplace, as reported by Inside Indiana Business.
The mailbox of the future will be equipped with the most advanced technology, featuring sensors, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity, a motorized sliding door, a two-way speaker system, and being secured by a fully encrypted, end-to-end opening protocol. It will be weatherproof, climate-controlled, and it will be able to wirelessly recharge drones.
Versatility is another notable quality of the DroneDek, which will be optimized to receive packages that are tethered, dropped, or delivered via autonomous vehicles. All packages will be disinfected using UVs and will also be scanned for explosives and other potential threats. Should it be necessary, the smart mailbox will be able to alert emergency services and notify the owner via the dedicated mobile app.
The DroneDek is expected to roll out in the second quarter of 2022.

When the paper describing this situation was published in Jama, Lif, the Danish pharmaceutical industry association, responded by announcing, in the Journal of the Danish Medical Association, that it was "both shaken and enraged about the criticism, that could not be recognised". It demanded an investigation of the scientists, though it failed to say by whom or of what. Lif then wrote to the Danish Committee on Scientific Dishonesty, accusing the Cochrane researchers of scientific misconduct. We can't see the letter, but the researchers say the allegations were extremely serious – they were accused of deliberately distorting the data – but vague, and without documents or evidence to back them up.
Nonetheless, the investigation went on for a year. Peter Gøtzsche, director of the Cochrane Centre, told the British Medical Journal that only Lif's third letter, 10 months into this process, made specific allegations that could be investigated by the committee. Two months after that, the charges were dismissed. The Cochrane researchers had done nothing wrong. But before they were cleared, Lif copied the letters alleging scientific dishonesty to the hospital where four of them worked, and to the management organisation running that hospital, and sent similar letters to the Danish medical association, the ministry of health, the ministry of science and so on. Gøtzsche and his colleagues felt "intimidated and harassed" by Lif's behaviour. Lif continued to insist that the researchers were guilty of misconduct even after the investigation was completed.

Earlier, we changed the Zone 1 irrigation to add bubblers for the crepe myrtle trees, described in the posting Changing the irrigation in the driveway peninsula. That left Zone 1 with 4 spray heads, as well as the 3 bubblers.
But the only things that are being "watered" by these heads are the two Barlett Pear trees, and maybe one crepe myrtle -- there used to be ferns and lamb's ear plants, but they have all disappeared. Either they were eaten by the deer or died from lack of water or sun.
And -- observing what happens when the sprinklers run -- only the top of the mulch gets wet; the water does not seem to get under the mulch to the dirt.
So we are replacing the three heads that are for the two Bartlett trees with bubblers. These will saturate the soil itself, under the mulch, and (hopefully) get water more directly to the trees roots.
This took half a day, but was relatively simple. I dug down to expose how the sprinkler riser was attached to the buried sprinkler lines.
Then we removed the long riser, replacing it with a shorter one that just comes up to ground level (or slightly less) and then put a bubbler on top of it.
Now when the sprinkler runs zone 1, there is no visible trace -- all the watering is being done by bubblers underground. At least we have little water wasted by misting and evaporation.
The fourth head (which really was not watering anything) was just capped off underground.
The main problem with this is going to be finding these bubblers if/when we need to do something with them. And then there is also the issue of whether it will be enough (or too much) water for the trees.

NHS staff have been working to challenge the stereotypes and stigmas around eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.
Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust is supporting the national Eating Disorders Awareness campaign, which runs this week.
Sarah Geere, team manager for the East and Central Lancashire Eating Disorder Services, said: “Anyone can develop an eating disorder, regardless of age, sex or cultural or racial background. It’s really important people know support is available and where they can get it.
“People who are suffering from an eating disorder may be experiencing low self-esteem, problems with friends or family relationships or problems at school or work. They can start to use food to help them cope with painful situations or feelings without even realising it.
“The sooner people get help the better chance they have of making a full recovery so if you have a worry, no matter how small, it’s always better to look into it or ask for help.”
If you think you may be suffering from an eating disorder or are concerned about the health of a family member or friend, the advice is to visit you GP in the first instance.
