Evidence of increasingly severe river floods in recent decades has spurred unprecedented efforts in Germany, Europe and many other regions of the world to reduce these threats through flood control measures. While there is general agreement that flood management should first of all be pursued by strengthening natural water retention, such efforts allow limited improvements for urbanized floodplains. Their execution often collides with other land-use concerns and requires long-range planning. Communities are therefore increasingly asking for protective structures to be built immediately along the endangered areas. River flood control techniques have been greatly improved in recent years, but such measures are usually extensive and structurally invasive. They may compromise urban design and landscape qualities, historic monuments and sites, and tourist appeal, and thus affect the quality of life and the overall value of a location. This aspect has not been sufficiently taken into consideration so far, and it is rarely considered adequately and early enough in planning such projects.
This international colloquium will address basic parameters and experiences from different geographic, political, economic and cultural contexts; promising approaches and strategies for the preservation of urban and cultural landscapes along rivers and streams and for building environmentally-sound protection systems will be discussed. The following topics and questions are of special interest:
- GOALS & CONFLICTS: General and specific problems of flood control in sensitive urban areas and cultural landscapes
- Flood protection as endangerment – a paradox?
- Risks for specific protected objects and heritage categories
- Flood control and townscape
- Flood protection and functions of urban space
- Flood protection and the art of building
- Potentials of flood protection for cities and landscapes on rivers and
- APPROACHES: Strategies, processes, methods
- Hydraulic construction and flood protection – a matter for experts only?
- Legal provisions for the integration of flood protection into environmental planning
- Procedures and integration of flood protection with other environmentally relevant issues and plans
- Communication and visualization of flood control projects, mediation and stakeholder participation
- SOLUTIONS: Technological and structural examples
- Temporary or permanent, unobtrusive vs. dominant interventions by flood control measures
- Structural retrofitting of existing buildings for flood resistance
- Integration of flood protection structures into the urban environment
- Typologies, forms and surfaces of flood protection structures
- Appropriateness of flood control structures and legibility of their protective function
The colloquium is intended to bring together scientists and planners from hydraulic engineering, heritage conservation, architecture, urban design and landscape architecture. Conference languages are English and German. Papers presented will be published in the conference proceedings.

Jan 1 2015 – Preparing the recording. Each artistic project (such as preparing a concert or a recording) always has one specific musical entity into which all the difficulties of the project are condensed. It doesn’t matter whether the program is easy or problematic: I always find a work, a passage, or a single bar that demands special attention. I’m supposed to be appropriately nervous about this specific moment – it doesn’t matter whether the moment is objectively difficult (i.e., have I been able to play something much more difficult before?).It’s enough if the moment is the most difficult in the work in hand. As the most difficult moment of a concert or a recording approaches, the excitement grows due to its high score on the difficulty scale. It seems to be impossible to break this pattern. Even if my only job on stage is to play the C major scale slowly, I probably would pick a single tone to be nervous about beforehand. It might be the note B, since I would play it with the fourth finger – the “weak” finger. The performance is always a performance, and I have internalized an attitude of taking nothing for granted: no musical entity is so easy to play that something can’t go wrong. Maybe the most difficult thing is to play something very simple, since stage fright may then ruin a relatively large part of the performed material. Performing a two-minute Mozart Minuet to a professional audience might feel really demanding if that’s the only thing to be performed.
I remember a story about a percussionist. The only thing the percussionist had to play in concert was a single forte accent on the cymbals. As the moment came nearer, something went wrong with the timing. The musician was late, and of course he didn’t want to play the accent at the wrong place. The only thing he could do was to shake the cymbals as if there would be a continuation of the sound, even though there was no sound at all.
I’m preparing volumes 4 and 5 of the total production of Karol Szymanowski’s (1882–1937) solo piano output. I’m almost at the end of the project, since the fifth is the last of the series. This spring (2015) I’ve worked especially with the Twelve Studies, Op. 33, and the Four Polish Dances for the fourth album and warmed up the Sonata No. 1, Op. 8, for the fifth album. The Studies and the Dances are new works for me, and among them we find the winner of the difficulty competition: the Study Op. 33, No 1. My relationship with this study is intense and passionate. The study has control over me, not vice versa. Yesterday, in playing the whole program in my studio – first the Dances, then the rest of the works – I completely lost control of my left hand with this one piece. After playing the first study badly, I had to play the eleven other studies, as well as a Romantic Waltz, which I’m working on and which I’ll squeeze on the fourth album; it needs to be practiced during May. After playing the whole program, I – feeling completely exhausted – thought about the Study, which from now on I’ll call Stanley. Stanley won again. First, Stanley has a very discouraging influence on me. Heavy thoughts in my mind: studies in general are difficult; I’ve never been or will ever be able to play any studies; who do I think I am trying to play these and so on. After a few minutes of sighing, I start to think in a more fruitful way: What went wrong with Stanley today? What took the control away from my left hand? The core of my discouraging feeling seems to be: I don’t want to rethink something I have thought about and resolved so many times already. It’s not about a task that is too difficult, but about tiredness, an unwillingness to solve technical problems once again. I blame Stanley for my discouragement. I’ve known Stanley for some time now, but despite a few moments of kindness, he’s not too trustworthy. Stanley is an alien, a bit of an arrogant companion I have to tolerate and to whom I can’t show my frustration. I always have to treat him constructively, understandingly, and analytically, even though I have wanted to get rid of him for good. How many times do I have to swallow his arrogance?
In Tiina Karakorpi’s thesis for her licentiate degree, entitled Sounding Spheres. The Emancipatory Interest in a Pianist’s Work, she describes her own playing:
I rediscover fingers, glued to the keys, in the general rehearsal of my fourth doctoral concert. When I connect the tones, they become one. A dense legato playing takes place simultaneously in my mind and in my body. The fingers know the music and control my playing. They are glued to the music, they won’t let go. (Karakorpi 2014, 25, translation by A.V.)
Karakorpi writes that she “rediscovers”: another pianist seeks, loses, and rediscovers. Losing every now and then is part of the business. Karakorpi’s text comforts me. When I think of Stanley in a purely professional way, it is easier to accept the fact that building a steady relationship requires time and patience.
Today’s practicing is over, but I still think of Stanley. Suddenly I realize what probably went wrong. I’m not at the piano anymore, but I can’t wait to get there again. The idea of “fingers-glued-to-the-keys” has inspired my practicing ever since I first read Karakorpi’s text. I think of my left hand, and I know that the next time I practice, Stanley is going to be more approachable. I’m one step closer to the recording.
When Stanley is in a good mood, I feel like showing up with him. I’m extremely proud that he’s my friend.

text: We have used phylogeographic analysis of mitochondrial DNA (COI and COII genes) and ecological niche modelling (ENM) to reconstruct the population history of Argosarchus horridus (White), a widespread species of New Zealand stick insect. These data were used to address outstanding questions on the role of glacial refugia in determining the distribution and genetic structure of New Zealand species. Phylogeographic analysis shows a general pattern of high diversity in upper North Island and reduced diversity in lower North Island and South Island. The ENM indicates that during the last glacial maximum, A. horridus was largely restricted to refugia around coastal areas of North Island. The ENM also suggests refugia on the northeast coast of South Island and southeast coast of North Island and this prediction is verified by phylogeographic analysis, which shows a clade restricted to this region. Argosarchus horridus is also most likely a geographic parthenogen where males are much rarer at higher latitudes. The higher levels of genetic variation in northern, bisexual populations suggest southern and largely unisexual populations originated from southwardly expanding parthenogenetic lineages. Bayesian skyline analysis also provides support for a recent population size increase consistent with a large increase in geographic distribution in the late Pleistocene. These results exemplify the utility of integrating ENM and phylogeographic analysis in testing hypotheses on the origin of geographic parthenogenesis and effects of Pleistocene environmental change on biodiversity.

Health outcomes of maternal smoking during pregnancy and postpartum period for the mother and infant: protocol for an umbrella review
Systematic Reviews volume 7, Article number: 235 (2018)
Internationally, tobacco smoking is a leading cause of mortality, morbidity and health inequality. In England, despite increasing awareness about importance of public health interventions to reduce smoking, about 10% of pregnant women are known to be smokers at the time of delivery. There are many systematic reviews investigating the impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy on particular health conditions. Hence, this overview of systematic reviews, which aims to include all health conditions for mother and infant caused by smoking during pregnancy, is timely.
CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CRD Database (includes DARE, NHSEED and HTA) and HMIC databases will be searched for systematic reviews investigating the effects of smoking during pregnancy. Only reviews written in English and published by 31/12/17 will be included. Studies focussed on low-income countries will be excluded. Study selection and quality assessment will be completed by two reviewers independently. To assess the quality of included studies, the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination checklist for systematic reviews will be utilised.
Existing systematic reviews focus on the impact of smoking during pregnancy on a specific health condition. This review aims to analyse current evidence on the overall health outcomes associated with smoking whilst pregnant by providing an overview of evidence from systematic reviews.
Systematic review registration
Smoking is the highest preventable cause of numerous health problems worldwide . Seven million people die every year because of smoking in the world and more than 18% of adults smoke daily in OECD countries . In England, 16% of all deaths were attributed to smoking in 2015 . Smoking during pregnancy is responsible for many avoidable health conditions and deaths across the countries . Smoking status at delivery was 10.5% in the UK in 2016/2017, and the estimated annual cost to the NHS was up to £87 million in 2010 [5, 6].
Smoking is the leading cause of inequalities in health across and within countries , and there is a negative correlation between education and income levels and smoking . In line with this, the smoking status of pregnant women at the time of delivery is higher in deprived areas of England, being 27% in Blackpool compared to 2% in Central London .
There are many systematic reviews investigating the impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy on individual health conditions, but there have been few studies seeking to review evidence across the range of health conditions caused by maternal smoking during pregnancy. In 2010, Godfrey et al.  reported a scoping review of the health outcomes associated with smoking during pregnancy. However, their strategy focused on search terms for a limited number of smoking-related health conditions which meant that the review may not have captured some relevant health conditions. In addition, quality assessment of the included studies and reviews was not conducted. Several narrative reviews have surveyed short- and long-term effects of maternal smoking during pregnancy and lactation and presented evidence around the topic [9, 10]. Nevertheless, these reviews did not systematically assess all available evidence, instead mostly focussed on the negative health effects of nicotine exposure reported in some studies. Considering the large number of published systematic reviews of observational studies regarding the impact of maternal smoking during pregnancy on different health outcomes, an overall evaluation of the current evidence is timely.
Objective of the review
This review seeks to investigate the impact of smoking during pregnancy and the postpartum period on health outcomes for the mother and infant in developed country settings to inform future research and health policy.
This umbrella review is designed in line with the objectives and guideline provided by Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions .
Studies will be included based on the following eligibility criteria.
Smoking behaviour, tobacco regulations, access to care for pregnant women, and other related factors are different in high- and middle-income countries compared to low-income countries, and consequently, health outcomes of smoking during pregnancy may not be the same [12,13,14,15,16,17]. For this reason, systematic reviews of studies focussing on low-income countries will be excluded . There will not be any exclusions based on age or social groups.
This review will focus on the health impacts of maternal smoking during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Therefore, studies that investigated the effect of maternal smoking during pregnancy and postpartum period will be included.
The comparator is defined as pregnant or postpartum women who have never smoked or who have quit smoking.
The primary outcome measures for this review are the health outcomes of smoking during pregnancy and the postpartum period for the mother and infant. Outcomes include pregnancy-related clinical problems and long-term adverse health outcomes for the infant. Measures may include odds ratios and relative risks for smoking women and their children compared to non-smoking women and their children.
Only systematic reviews published in a peer-reviewed journal will be included in the review.
For pragmatic reasons, this review will only include systematic reviews written in English.
This study will include systematic reviews published up to 31 December 2017.
A scoping search was conducted using MEDLINE with the words “pregnant women”, “pregnant smokers”, “maternal smoking”, “health outcomes”, “cost outcomes”, and “QALYs”. Then, the InterTASC Information Specialists Sub-Groups (ISSG) filter was used to identify keywords. Additionally, the keywords of five systematic reviews in relevant topics were reviewed. Identified keywords were discussed with two experts to crosscheck. The chosen search terms are shown in Additional file 1: Appendix 1.
The literature search strategy of this review is defined as follows:
The selected keywords within each concept will be combined with “OR”, and concepts will be combined with “AND”.
The inclusion criteria will be piloted by the reviewers independently in order to maximise the consistency of the study selection process.
CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CRD Database (includes DARE, NHSEED and HTA) and HMIC databases will be searched with those identified keywords. In addition, references of selected studies will be searched for relevant articles.
The phase of screening for eligibility will be conducted by two reviewers independently. Any discrepancies will be resolved by discussion with a third reviewer.
A data extraction sheet was created which covers the lead author’s name and publication year, study design and the databases searched, number of studies included, main outcomes, and some other methodological information (Additional file 1: Appendix 2). The extraction tool will be piloted. One reviewer (TS) will extract the data and another reviewer (HM) will check the extracted data to minimise any bias.
Data management will be done by using ENDNOTE and Microsoft Excel software.
The Centre for Reviews and Dissemination’s practical checklist for conducting a critical appraisal of systematic reviews was modified according to the needs of the current study . For instance, questions on protocol, publication bias and heterogeneity were added (Additional file 1: Appendix 3). Quality assessment will be done by two reviewers independently. Any discrepancies will be solved through discussion or involvement of a third reviewer.
Analysis and presentation of the results
The study selection process will be summarised by using a PRISMA diagram . A narrative analysis of the data gathered via the systematic review will be undertaken. As the study will include reviews focussing on varied health conditions, no sub-group analysis has been planned. Results will be presented in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions guidelines .
Existing systematic reviews focus on the impact of smoking during pregnancy on particular health conditions. This review aims to draw a broader picture of the current evidence by including systematic reviews that investigated any health outcome associated with smoking whilst pregnant.

Since then, the title has introduced their first piece of downloadable content, Curse of Osiris.
It's the nature of living games and MMOs to have to deal with power creep as they add new content and increase player levels, but most of the time the doesn't include locking players out of content that they previously had access to. Prestige versions of these playlists were created to be an end-game difficulty to test a player's absolute limits in exchange for rare and legendary quality loot. It's a trace rifle that shoots laser beams and can melt any other player in less than two seconds. But the Prestige variants of both activities require players to be at the power cap, and it's now impossible to reach that cap unless you buy Curse of Osiris.
Activision and Bungie have just released the Curse of Osiris DLC for Destiny 2. The heroic playlist offers better loot with the trade off of not knowing which firestrike the player will be participating in.
Before the Curse of Osiris DLC, players were able to do the prestige Raid (hard mode raid), Nightfall (end-game strike with modifiers) and Trials (end-game PvP) on a weekly basis for rewards.
Here's hoping it gets fixed quickly, as it is super overpowered and will definitely be causing frustration for players in the Crucible.
Bungie has yet to make an official statement on the matter.

Oct 15, Colombo: Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has left for Kuwait today to attend the historic first summit of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue, the Government Information Department announced.
The first Summit of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue will be held in Kuwait City from 15 to 17 October 2012.
The Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al- Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will open the ACD Summit Tuesday with the participation of 32 Asian nations.
During his visit, President Rajapaksa is expected to meet several Gulf leaders including the King of Saudi Arabia and the Emirs of Kuwait and Qatar on the sidelines of the summit.
Sri Lanka's External Affairs Minister Prof. G.L. Peiris was already in Kuwait to participate in the Ministerial Meeting that was held Sunday (October 14).


A public awareness campaign featuring posters of convicted methamphetamine dealers has drawn an angry response from gay activists.
Last week, federal prosecutors in Manhattan unveiled the posters, which have the defendants' names, mug shots and warnings like, "Over six years for selling crystal meth. Was it worth it?" They planned to plaster them in homosexual neighborhoods that have been ravaged by the highly addictive stimulant.
Activists responded Tuesday by accusing authorities of needlessly vilifying gay men who were caught selling small amounts of crystal meth. They also argued the campaign could undermine efforts within the gay community to treat addicts and discourage potential users.
"Gay men telling other gay men that crystal is dangerous is one thing," said Peter Staley of the Crystal Meth Working Group. "It is quite another thing for government, especially law enforcement agencies, to threaten gay men with what look like 'wanted' posters."

Marilyn Monroe oil painting, framed 40x50cm
I created this artwork because I like to challenge myself and try new things. This is my first ever oil painting, I never used oil before. When I was studying art, I did a lot of figurative work, and after that, I focused on abstract. It is always interesting for me to find a balance in my career between the two, it keeps life interesting.

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962) was an American actress, model and singer. Famous for playing comedic “blonde bombshell” characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era’s sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2020) by the time of her death in 1962. Long after her death, Monroe remains a major icon of pop culture.

Paulding County Sheriff's Office Neighborhood Watch
Thank you for your vested interest in the Neighborhood Watch program. The National Neighborhood Watch Programwas created by the National Sheriff’s Association in 1972. It was created to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in an effort to reduce residential crime.
You can ask anyone that has been a victim of a burglary, the shock and helpless anger that comes with discovering that a burglar has entered their home will not easily be forgotten. The damage may be minimal or major. However, one fact remains: another statistic has been added to the growing list of burglarized homes. The questions that we are beginning to ask homeowners are, “Is your neighborhood ready to resist crime, or is it a target for burglars?” The choice is up to you!
According to the statistics, chances are very good that a home burglarized today is located in a neighborhood where one vital prevention tool is missing: an active Neighborhood Watch group. This is a community-based organization of citizens working closely with law enforcement to prevent burglary and other crime. A work plan emerged from the creation of the National Neighborhood Watch program for use by sheriffs, police, and citizens for putting together localized neighborhood watch programs, hence the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Neighborhood Watch program. Through this program, local citizens work to 1) make their homes and families less inviting targets for crime, and 2) cooperate with law enforcement through block and neighborhood groups to control crime throughout the community.
We recognize that crime prevention, particularly crime involving residential neighborhoods, is a responsibility that must be shared equally by law enforcement and private citizens. The impact on crime prevention by law enforcement alone is minimal when compared with the power of private citizens working together with law enforcement. When citizens take proactive steps to secure their own property and neighbors learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes, burglary and related offenses decrease dramatically.
According to the National Sheriff’s Association, there have been dramatic decreases in burglary and related offenses throughout the United States in communities with active Neighborhood Watch programs. “Neighborhood Watch is now the most successful anticrime initiative in the country and the most effective and least expensive tool for restoring the safe, pleasant environment we all want for our families!”

Twitch was introduced as a Livestream platform for the gamers. An initial of Amazon started in June 2011, Twitch started growing in 2014 February like any other platform such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. but specifically into gaming genre. Twitch has now peaked the list of having most subscriptions and viewers. The streamers earn money by the same method. Many people still don't know about it but if you're into gaming then you must've streamed few gamers on twitch, or atleast heard the name.
Here are the most popular gamers on Twitch who make money from gaming.

Re 1 clinic at railway stations to down shutters by Wednesday
A commuter gets tests done at Ghatkopar clinic.
MUMBAI: The popular Re 1 clinics at Central Railway, railway stations, that was kicked off nearly three months ago to provide cost-effective healthcare to passengers and ‘golden hour’ treatment to accident victims free of cost, seem to have become the victim of ‘infighting’ among railway officials. The private operator has decided to shut down the Re 1 clinics currently operational at eight CR stations, including Dadar and Ghatkopar, by Wednesday. CR officials denied the allegations. The first Re 1 clinic was inaugurated at Ghatkopar station on May 10. Passengers could get medical consultation for Re 1, and get pathological tests done and buy medicine from the pharmacy at subsidized rates. “We have written a letter to CR Mumbai divisional railway manager to convey our decision to shut down Re 1 clinic in the next three days,” said Dr. Rahul Ghule of Magicdil that operates these clinics. “We have suffered due to internal differences among railway officials.” Citing an example of CR’s “infighting”, he claimed that though they had all permissions in place, a 180-sq ft extension of the emergency medical room (EMR) at Dadar station was demolished in May, two days after the Re 1 clinic was inaugurated there. They resumed services next day, but suffered huge losses, he added.
But divisional railway manager Ravinder Goyal said, “We have always cooperated with the operator.” A CR official, who did not want to be identified, said, “I think it is a pressure tactic by the operator”. Dr. Ghule complained that they had paid security deposit of Rs 11 lakh, but CR is still to decide on the location of the clinics at 11 of the 19 approved stations. “This is probably because some politicians are opposed to the initiative,” he alleged. “We have saved more than 200 lives and there has not been a single complaint against us. We will now shift these clinics in slum pockets and lower middle-class areas. We will also initiate home medical services”. Amid this blame game, it is the commuters who will lose. “Railways should step in as absence of EMRs that provide affordable medical care at stations could prove fatal, especially for accident victims,” said Chetna Jani, a passenger.
Woman falls off train, dies as snatcher pulls purse
NEW DELHI: A 55-year-old woman travelling on the Yoga Express from Rewari to Delhi fell off the running train and died less than a km from the Old Delhi station, after a man allegedly tried to snatch her purse early on Sunday. The victim, Sudhir Kumari, was travelling with her son, Gaurav, in the unreserved compartment that was the last coach of the train, railway officials said. The two were standing at the door around 5.45am, waiting to get off, when the woman fell off with a scream, Gaurav said. He told police he saw a man pull his mother’s purse but did not get a good glimpse of the snatcher in the dark. The train was near Pul Mithai, just around 500 metres before the station. Doctors said the woman came under the train’s wheels and lost her hand and legs. Gaurav, too, jumped off the train, which had slowed down significantly, and rushed to his mother’s help. The victim’s son called up the police -who he said arrived late -after which the woman was rushed to hospital. Kumari died of excessive bleeding and internal injuries during treatment. Her body was handed over to the family after a postmortem. The cause of death is awaited. The family left for their home town in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan for the last rites.
“An FIR under sections of culpable homicide and robbery has been registered by the railway police on the statement given by woman’s son and investigations have been initiated,” DCP (railways) Parvez Ahmed said. The police have not got any witnesses to the incident as of now and are relying on the information provided by the woman’s son. Local criminals from nearby slum clusters have been rounded up and are being interrogated. Informers have been asked to give information about criminals who have been on the prowl in the area in the early morning hours. The cops will also interview the son to make a sketch or get some details about the appearance of the accused. Railway officials said the train had slowed down as it was approaching a junction where the tracks split, with one set heading towards the New Delhi station and the other towards Delhi junction. Railway protection force (RPF) personnel said more personnel had been deployed in the area with men from Kishanganj, Old Delhi and New Delhi alerted to keep a look out on the tracks, especially at night. “We have increased patrolling numbers and are making announcements on the tracks against trespassers. It is suspected that the snatchers came from a nearby jhuggi cluster,” said an RPF officer.
Respite in rains in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: Most parts of the country’s IT capital pounded by heavy downpour over the last two days are slowly limping back to normalcy today, with respite in rains till evening. Though cloudy, the lull in the rain gave a sigh of relief to the residents who had witnessed flooded roads, drainage water entering houses in low-lying areas and cars floating at the basements yesterday. The rainfall that began on Friday night had continued for almost the whole of yesterday causing traffic snarls on arterial roads of the city.

Risking lives: Top hospitals fail on fire safety standards
HYDERABAD: You do not expect places of healing to be tinderboxes, but as many as seven top hospitals in the city are facing prosecution orders for failing to meet fire safety norms. More than 60 hospitals have obtained No Objection Certificates (NOC) from the Telangana state disaster response and fire services department, but a random inspection by the department officials found seven hospitals to be violating the norms. “Of the seven, three popular hospitals were found to have repeatedly violated norms during multiple inspections in the past one year. In fact, a top private hospital in Jubilee Hills was asked to pay `10,000 penalty recently,” said Prabhakar Reddy, prosecution officer of the department. Fire safety regulations make it mandatory for hospital buildings of more than 15 metre height to obtain clearances under the Telangana Fire Service Act, 1999. However, hospitals less than 15metres need not take the NOC. “Small hospitals should follow fire safety rules, but we cannot enforce it as it is not mandatory. We can only advise them to ensure fire safety,” said regional fire officer (RFO) V Papaiah. The common violation, the RFO said, is that hospital managements add extra floors rafting obtaining NOC. “They also tend to keep the pumps supplying water to the sprinkler system switched off when they are supposed to be on at all times,” he added. The officer also said it is important for hospitals to leave 13rd of the total space empty to make way for fire engines and rescue operations in case of an emergency. “But 80% of the hospitals facing prosecution are using that empty space as pathology centre or physiotherapy centres,” Reddy said. They also end up using basement area as canteens, which is also against the norms.
Bengal: 19-year-old girl jumps from running train, catches smartphone thief
KOLKATA: A first-year student of Bhowanipore Education Society College jumped from a running train and got hold of a thief who had snatched her smartphone at Akra railway station in South 24 Parganas on Sunday morning. Bruised and bleeding from her head, the gutsy 19-year-old held on to the snatcher’s shirt, lying on the edge of the platform as fellow passengers caught the accused, Shamim Molla (20), and handed him over to police. The student, Komal Parida, was taken to a local nursing home from where she was referred to a city hospital that specializes in neurosurgery. Police said Parida, a resident of Maheshtala, was supposed to get down at Nungi station that comes after Akra and was standing near the gate of a ladies’ compartment when the accused snatched her phone around noon. “The accused boarded the train moments after it started from Akra. As it gained pace, the youth snatched the phone and jumped on the platform. The girl also jumped on the platform and caught him. Even though she was bleeding, she did not leave him,” said Munni Bibi, a fruit seller at the station who witnessed the incident.
The phone screen broke but it was still working as Komal’s mother called her when one of the passengers informed her about the incident. Ko mal was unconscious when her parents reached the station and took her to a nursing home. Her wound was stitched and a CT scan was conducted that showed a mild internal bleeding. The family immediately drove her to Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata in Mullickbazar. “The wound has been stitched and there is a mild internal bleeding from her ears. But her condition is stable and she is now kept under observation. She is not speaking much though,” said an attending doctor at the emergency ward. Komal’s kin said she was returning home from a Chartered Accountancy tuition near Rabindra Sarobar Metro station and took the Budge Budge-bound local train from Tollygunge. Her father works at a multinational company and her mother is a homemaker. The family, however, felt she fell off the train. “She is not the kind who would risk her life for a phone. She must have lost her balance when the miscreant snatched her phone and fell accidentally. We want punishment for the accused,” said Ravi Chowdhry, Komal’s uncle. Police have arrested the youth and started a case of snatching and act leading to grievous injury.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott estimated damage at $150 billion to $180 billion, calling it more costly than Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy, which devastated New Orleans in 2005 and New York in 2012. The administration of President Donald Trump has asked Congress for an initial $7.85 billion for recovery efforts, a fraction of what will eventually be needed. Even that amount could be delayed unless Congress quickly increases the government’s debt ceiling, Mnuchin said, as the United States is on track to hit its mandated borrowing limit by the end of the month unless Congress increases it. “Without raising the debt limit, I am not comfortable that we will get money to Texas this month to rebuild,” Mnuchin told Fox News. Republican lawmakers, who control both houses of Congress, have traditionally resisted raising the debt ceiling, but linking the issue to Harvey aid could force their hand with people suffering and large areas of the fourth-largest US city under water. Beyond the immediate funding, any massive aid package faces budget pressures at a time when Trump is advocating for tax reform or tax cuts, leading some on Capitol Hill to suggest aid may be released in a series of appropriations. Katrina set the record by costing US taxpayers more than $110 billion. In advocating for funds to help rebuild his state, Abbott said damage from Harvey would exceed that.
95% DRY: Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said the city expected most public services and businesses to be restored by Tuesday, the first day after Monday’s Labor Day holiday. “Over 95 percent of the city is now dry. And I’m encouraging people to get up and let’s get going,” Turner told NBC News. Even so, Houston mandated the evacuation of thousands of people on the western side of town on Sunday to accommodate the release of water from two reservoirs that otherwise might sustain damage. The storm stalled over Houston, dumping more than 50 inches (1.3 m) on the region. Houston cut off power to homes on Sunday to encourage evacuations. The area was closed off on Sunday and military vehicles were stationed on the periphery to take people out. Karen Waltmon, 58, who was returning to her home in one of the neighborhoods, said she wondered if parts of the city would have to be razed. “I feel a lot of Houston is drying out, and I don’t want them to forget about us,” she said. About 37,000 refugees stayed overnight in 270 shelters in Texas plus another 2,000 in seven Louisiana shelters, the highest number reported by the American Red Cross. Some 84,700 homes and businesses were without power on Sunday, down from a peak of around 300,000, according to the region’s major electric companies. In Crosby, Texas, an Arkema chemical plant that ran out of electricity needed to keep volatile organic peroxide refrigerated will burn the remaining containers as a “proactive measure,” company and Harris County fire officials said in a statement. Officials last week evacuated residents and set up a 1.5-mile (2.4-km) perimeter around the area. Energy disruptions pushed up gasoline futures to a two-year high ahead of the holiday weekend, but major refineries started to come back online on Friday. Colonial Pipeline, the biggest US fuel system, expects to reopen a Texas segment of its network on Monday, when it will resume transporting distillates from Houston to Hebert, Texas, the company said on Sunday, adding that it would be ready to start moving gasoline on Tuesday. Those repairs would restore to normal Colonial’s entire pipeline from Houston to Linden, New Jersey, relieving shortages between Texas and the US Northeast.
IS clashes with Syrian regime forces kill 150

BEIRUT: Fierce clashes between the Islamic State group and pro-regime forces in central Syria have left over 150 fighters dead in 24 hours, mostly jihadists, a monitor said Sunday. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 120 IS fighters “were killed in clashes in and around the town of Uqayribat in the eastern Hama countryside… along with at least 35 regime troops and loyalist militiamen”. The town is the jihadist group’s last bastion in the central province apart from a handful of small villages. Pro-government forces seized Uqayribat on Friday night, but IS responded with a counter-offensive on Saturday that left it in control of most of the town, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said. An intense barrage of artillery fire and Syrian and Russian air strikes on jihadist positions allowed pro-regime forces on Sunday morning to push the jihadists back out of the town and advance on villages to the west that remain under IS control. IS has controlled Uqayribat since 2014, using it to launch attacks on regime-held areas and a strategically vital road Abdel Rahman described as “the only lifeline for the regime between Aleppo and central and southern Syria”. Regime forces, backed by heavy Russian air strikes, launched a major assault on IS-held parts of Hama in June. “By consolidating their control of (Uqayribat) and ousting IS from the surrounding villages, regime forces could oust the organisation from the whole of Hama province,” Abdel Rahman said.
Other rebel groups still control parts of the province’s rural north. Hama, which borders on six other Syrian provinces, is strategically vital to the Assad regime, separating opposition forces in Idlib from Damascus to the south and the regime’s coastal heartlands to the west. IS has suffered multiple defeats across Syria and neighbouring Iraq in recent months, notably in its main Syrian base of Raqa. On Friday a US-backed Kurdish-Arab coalition seized Raqa’s Old City and was advancing on the jihadists in the heavily defended city centre. The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) began their offensive in May, capturing the city of Tabqa and a key dam nearby before entering Raqa city in early June. Meanwhile, pro-regime forces have advanced against IS in the eastern part of Homs province and western Deir Ezzor, where they have come to within 19 kilometres (12 miles) of the provincial capital. Syria’s conflict has killed more than 320,000 people and displaced millions since it started with anti-government demonstrations in 2011.
Flooding in India, Nepal, Bangladesh affecting 16 million children: UNICEF
People are rescued from a flooded village in Bihar
UNITED NATIONS: About 16 million children across India, Bangladesh and Nepal are in urgent need of life-saving support due to “catastrophic” flooding in the three South Asian countries, a UN agency said. “Millions of children have seen their lives swept away by these devastating floods” said Jean Gough, UNICEF Regional Director for South Asia. “Children have lost their homes, schools and even friends and loved ones. There is a danger the worst could still be to come as rains continue and flood waters move south” she added. Weeks of torrential monsoon rains and catastrophic flooding in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh have devastated the lives of millions of children and families. UNICEF estimates that almost 16 million children and their families are in urgent need of life-saving support. Since mid-August, there have been at least 1,288 reported deaths, with over 45 yasion people estimated to be affected. Many areas remain inaccessible due to damage to roads, bridges, railways and airports. The most urgent needs for children are clean water, hygiene supplies to prevent the spread of disease, food supplies and safe places in evacuation centres for children to play, the UN agency said. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is on the ground working in close coordination with respective governments and humanitarian partners from three countries to scale up its responses and respond to immediate needs of affected children and their families. “Massive damage to school infrastructure and supplies also mean hundreds of thousands of children may miss weeks or months of school” said Gough.
“Getting children back into school is absolutely critical in establishing a sense of stability for children during times of crisis and provides a sense of normality when everything else is being turned upside down”. In India, four states in the northern part of the country have been extensively affected by the flooding, affecting over 31 million people including 12.33 million children. Some 805,183 houses are either partially or fully damaged and 15,455 schools have been damaged, disrupting the education of nearly one million students. Further heavy rains in Mumbai resulted in at least five deaths by drowning and three people including two children died due to house collapse. In the affected states in India the state governments, following rescue operations, are conducting relief, rehabilitation and recovery operations. UNICEF, at the request of the state governments, is providing multi-sectoral planning and coordination support in the three worst affected states of Assam, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Over 9.8 million people in Bihar have been reached with lifesaving information on topics such as safe drinking water and handwashing, UNICEF said. In Bangladesh alone, more than 8 million people have been affected by flooding, including around 3 million children. An estimated 696,169 houses have been damaged or destroyed and 2,292 primary and community schools have been damaged by high water. There have already been more than 13,035 cases of water-borne diseases in the country. In Nepal, 1.7 million people, including 680,000 children, have been affected with 352,738 displaced from their homes. More than 185,126 homes have been damaged or destroyed in addition to 1,958 schools, affecting the education of 253,605 children.

Threaten to sue
Coinbase (COIN), the world's only cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that the U.S. SEC intends to sue the company over a new loan product that Coinbase plans to launch in the coming weeks.
The news suggests that Coinbase has effectively fallen victim to the lack of proper regulation and legislative rules regarding the new crypto market in the US.
At the same time, the incident confirms that the SEC, under the leadership of new chairman Gary Gensler, is preparing a series of rules that cryptocurrency and other digital asset trading companies will soon fall under. The SEC's reason for suing Coinbase is the new Lend lending feature on the company's platform. This feature allows owners of USD Coin Stablecoins (whose value is backed by 1-to-1 dollars) to earn money by lending them to traders. In addition to providing storage, payment and trading services for cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase already offers cryptocurrency stacking services, offering it "as an analogue to an interest-bearing savings account.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong complained in a series of tweets that versions of Lend "have been offered by many great crypto companies for years."
Armstrong also accused the SEC of "refusing" to meet with him in May, shortly after the company went public and Gensler was appointed as the new chairman.
Coinbase is now providing the materials and documentation requested by the SEC, and employees are testifying. The launch of Coinbase Lend has been delayed until at least October.
CEO in his Twitter account said: "We promise to support the law, but the law is sometimes unclear. Therefore, if the SEC wants to publish the guidelines, we will follow them."

A document sent to outside researchers running the 60,000-patient clinical trial states that a “pausing rule” has been met, that the online system used to enroll patients in the study has been closed, and that the data and safety monitoring board — an independent committee that watches over the safety of patients in the clinical trial — would be convened. The document was obtained by STAT. Contacted by STAT, J&J confirmed the study pause, saying it was due to “an unexplained illness in a study participant.” The company declined to provide further details.

On July 15 at 17:00 Moscow time, founders of technology startups, investors and industry experts gathered at the Founders to Founders community platform, where “Every Founder Will Be Heard”.
The Founders to Founders project aims to establish communication between Russian-speaking business founders, investors and experts to share experience, knowledge and best practices in the field of technology.
The third community meetup is dedicated to stories of founders that were able to achieve significant results in growing their business. Meetup is broadcasted live on Founders to Founders, Facebook, Youtube and Clubhouse, bringing together participants from several continents to build community, share experience and present projects.
As part of this meetup, two interviews were dedicated to the analysis of successful business cases with Mikhail Popov, founder and CEO at Talkbank and Vladislav Zdorenko, co-founder of Startech.vc.
“After five years of working with early-stage startups, I started to notice that most of the founders I know personally didn’t start with success. Sometimes it is not about the pivot, but about the second and even third attempt to launch a project. Creation of favorable conditions at each stage for founders, not startups, is an important and difficult task. Community for founders is a great start!“ – says Maria Ivanova, Head of Investor Relations at Skolkovo Technopark.
“Luck favors the prepared” says Mikhail Popov, founder and CEO of Talkbank.
“In the USA there are clear rules and a roadmap of startup development. In Russia, it’s more like a swamp – you jump from bumps on bumps and you’re always afraid to fail. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs and make a little contribution towards development of our venture capital market.”* – said Vladislav Zdorenko, co-founder of the venture capital company Startech.vc. The guests and speakers of the second meetup:
