Canada’s losing of the Dieppe Raid taught the country many things. Without learning what they did by losing the Dieppe Raid, Canada wouldn’t have won other major battles and raids like Operation Overlord. Canada had to learn many things like how to communicate better, when and how to use aircrafts for bombings, and that planning in advance for all possible scenarios they could come across. Without Canada not communicating or prioritising organization, future operations wouldn’t have put emphasis on it and there would still be attacks that were not planned or organized between troops. Organization about timing and different attacks played a huge role in Operation Overlord because they were able to invade and time their bombings. Unlike the Dieppe Raid, Operation Overlord involved lots and lots of bombings. They were not scarce with their bombing raids and that allowed them to gain a front on land. If Canada hadn’t been scarce before with their bombings, they wouldn’t have learned just how important the bombings were in a successful raid. For communication and bombings to happen efficiently, Canada really needed to plan everything! Planning was so important in future battles and raids! Without planning what aircrafts you were going to use or how many troops you were going to send, a country would be stuck with last minute decisions that could be the tipping point of a won or lost battle. Canada learned from the Dieppe Raid that they needed to train their soldiers more and plan the timing, position, and numbers of all their attacks. Canada had sent hardly any troops to Dieppe compared to future battles and they suffered. The soldiers that were killed were a great percentage of the total number of soldiers and this caused Canada to learn that there truly is power in numbers. Canada learned to plan all bombings and raids. Timing was everything. Without the right timing, troops can get confused and mistakes
The United States was created from the leading battles of the Continental Army in the American Revolution; Europe’s greatest nation of the time at war with its own people. The abuse of power by the king of Great Britain had angered the colonist to fight for their rights as citizens, this lead to the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. As the troops of the American and British soldiers fought during the war what strengths and weaknesses influenced the win of the American soldiers? During the American Revolution, the American and British soldiers demonstrated clear strengths and weaknesses, which impacted the American troops’ victory.
The United States won its independence for Great Britain during the Revolutionary War. America struggled to get the advantage, but eventually was able to win the war. In the beginning it proved difficult to even acquire the troops necessary to fight a war. The troops they got had no adeptness for fighting. They struggled throughout the war and at times their chances for success looked bleak. However, even with the odds against them they prevailed.
At Vimy Ridge Canadians proved themselves to be capable fighters, created a Canadian nationalism that had been lacking before, and showed the world that Canada was nation independent from Britain. The global recognition that Canada received for the work of the C.E.F. at Vimy Ridge also changed Canada’s role in the international political community. Due to Canada’s initial role in the world as part of the British Empire, Canada was an ally of Britain from the start and would remain allied with Britain even to today. So, what changed in the relationship between Britain and Canada? Canada had now proved itself to be capable of operating independently. As a result of the successful offensive at Vimy Ridge, other Allied nations now saw Canada as their equal in terms of military skill. The Canadians had demonstrated immense militaristic skill at Vimy Ridge, which is a major part of foreign affairs as a country must be able to defend itself, which gave Canada grounds to argue for more power. Though Canada would not gain control of her foreign policy until the Statute of Westminster, Canada would now be able to negotiate for more power
Many different wars in many different parts of the world have affected the categorization and organization of our country today. Not only have these wars had lasting impacts and severe impulses on our country, they each have their own unique individual way they have lead to developments and improvements of our United States Military Forces.
Launched on 31 July 1917, the British offensive in Flanders had aimed to drive the Germans away from the essential Channel Ports and to eliminate U-Boat bases on the coast. But unceasing rain and shellfire reduced the battlefield to a vast bog of bodies, water-filled shell craters, and mud in which the attack ground to a halt. After months of fighting, Passchendaele ridge was still stubbornly held by German troops. Sir Douglas Haig, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, ordered the Canadians to deliver victory.
Source III portrays that Canadian nationalism was created by the victory of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and how the battle unified and strengthened Canada as a nation. The source embraces civic nationalism and illustrates how a strong sense of patriotism for one’s country can be founded and can further inspire and establish nationalism. For example, the Canadian soldiers that fought at Vimy Ridge were patriotic and fought for Canada, and the results and rewards of the battle were significant to the war. At the time, German leaders and soldiers that fought at Vimy Ridge would disagree with the source, as they believed the Battle of Vimy Ridge did not considerably influence the outcome of the war. They would argue that although the location and
A few years ago, in the spring and summer of 2012, Canada as a nation celebrated the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. In Ontario especially, where some of the most prominent battles took place, the remembrance of this war is vital to the preservation of the country’s history. The battle is celebrated and given special importance by Canadian authorities and historical societies and specific battles are frequently re-enacted by local groups at various forts within the country.
The Battle of Vimy Ridge was a very successful battle not only for the Allies but, for the Canadian army. The Battle of Vimy Ridge took place in April 1917 in France. The battlefield gave Germany the upper hand as their trenches were located on a hill. Therefore giving Germany a commanding view of the British trenches and troops. Britain and France had tried on countless occasions to capture the area, however they were forced back by German artillery. Thus, leaving the capture in the hands of the Canadian troops. The Battle of Vimy Ridge was the first battle that was fought by all four Canadian Corps division and was led by British general Julian Byng and under his command was Canadian general Arthur Currie. This attack on Vimy Ridge was very
Bridgewater, Va. – The Treasury Department announced on Wednesday April 20th, abolitionist, and anti-slavery activist Harriet Tubman is to replace the 7th president of the United States, Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. This is a mark in history because she will not only be the first African-American to appear on United States paper currency, but also the first woman in over a century.
World War One was a huge event in World History, and it is widely considered as a terrible thing although it may not be as bad as you may think. As time continues, society evolves. This centuries evolution could be inspired by and correlated alongside World War One. Seeing what Canada is today, it may not have been possible without the First World War. The First World War had the most significant impact on the Canadian nation, changing it for decades to come. This is evident because of how Canada could be less respected if it wasn’t for their war contributions, how women’s rights could have been different or non-existent, and how Canada could not have gained it’s independence from Britain. In conclusion, World War One impacted Canada greatly
The battle of Vimy Ridge was a defining moment of Canadian identity because it allowed the then relatively new nation to prove their strength, thereby bringing along a good deal of national pride and clearly established Canada as a formidable player on the International level. Vimy Ridge was the first time Canadians worked together as their own individual entity to accomplish a common goal. It was at Vimy Ridge that all four divisions of the Canadian Corps finally united under their Canadian-born commander, Sir Arthur Currie. This is significant because this battle would prove to be the first time that Canadians were presented with an opportunity to prove their unified might. Incidentally, Canada was able to capture Vimy Ridge — A feat that both the British and French had failed to do for several long
Vimy Ridge is a hill in France that was Germany’s key defence system which was captured by Canadian soldiers from Germany in World War 1. Since then, many people have argued about whether it was a successful and defining moment for Canada or not. One side argues that too many lives were lost at the cost of capturing Vimy. The other side argues that it was important because it was a defining moment and success due to the Canadians who conquered the hill when the British and French could not, they were prepared by their commander and trained very hard for the battle, which leads them to victory and earned many awards. Even though many lives were lost, it is highly unquestionable that the Battle of Vimy Ridge was a successful and defining moment
The location of the battle is a city of Amiens based on the river Somme. Germans wanted to get this city only as a part of strategy because it would help them to move westwards.
To assess fully how much Sir Redvers Buller was responsible for the poor performance of the British Army during the early months of the Second Boer War it is key to identify areas to which Buller can be held accountable. As such it is sensible to discuss his performance as commander in chief until being replaced by Roberts in January 1900, lasting from late October 1899. Intrinsically, this involves defeats at Stromberg, Magersfontein and Colenso. However it is also key to converse his performance at the battle of Spion Kop which he actively participated in as commander. There are arguments that factors including the failures of Buller’s subordinates, Boer leadership and equipment and the change in the nature of war through technological advancements

ALABAMA EXPOSURE: DHR cuts may cause federal grants to be lost
Published: Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 6:29 p.m.
Legislative budget leaders asked state General Fund agency heads to respond to potential budget cuts of up to 25 percent. So when Department of Human Resources Commissioner Nancy Buckner told a joint legislative budget hearing that a 25 percent cut would eliminate temporary financial assistance to the poor and child support collection efforts, House Ways and Means General Fund Committee Chairman Jim Barton, R-Mobile, said he was skeptical.
Barton said he believes Buckner’s budget has a “lot of fat” in it, and he would consider cutting more than 25 percent of the DHR’s budget, the Montgomery Advertiser reported.
“I don’t have any money,” Buckner said.
Gov. Robert Bentley proposed a 2012-13 budget with a $4 million cut to DHR. Buckner said that in her worst-case scenario — if her budget had to be cut $22 million — it would result in the loss of $93.3 million in federal funds.
She said an additional $48 million would be cut from the Child Support Enforcement Program.
DHR spokesman Barry Spear said DHR collected $315 million in delinquent child support last year, the Associated Press reported.
Cut may cause thousands to lose mental health care
At that same budget hearing, Mental Health Commissioner Zelia Baugh delivered her worst-case scenario if she’s hit with a 25 percent budget cut next fiscal year.
A cut of that magnitude would result in 20,641 people losing community mental illness services, she said. And another 359 people with intellectual disabilities would lose community residential services under the Medicaid waiver program.
The losses would be the result of a cut in state funds that are used to match federal Medicaid dollars.
She said the impact on communities would result in a 52 percent patient increase in state psychiatric hospitals and the reopening of a state-run developmental center to serve the 359 people who would lose local services.
Baugh said she would have to hire 2,150 people to handle the expensive changes. She said a budget cut of 25 percent would prevent her from using available state dollars to get Medicaid match funds for community treatment and would require the continued operation of state facilities.
Baugh proposes to close four of six mental illness hospitals and shift patients to community care where Medicaid will pick up part of the tab.
Board-certified teachers may get more pay
National Board of Professional Teaching Standards certified teachers in Alabama may start getting some pay for their efforts.
The Senate last week 29-0 approved a bill by Sen. Jabo Waggoner, R-Vestavia Hills, to appropriate $2.3 million to pay teachers who passed board certification in 2011 and 2012 the full $5,000 annual salary supplement. The legislation requires retroactive payment to teachers who were not fully paid.
“We want to honor our commitment to educators, and reward those teachers that have worked to better themselves professionally,” Waggoner said.
Because of budget constraints, teachers who make board certification have not been fully paid for two years. The $2.3 million will go to the will go to the 1,848 National Board certified teachers in Alabama, Waggoner said.
Fourth legislative week
The Legislature returns for the fourth week of its 2012 regular session on Tuesday. The House is to reconvene at 1 p.m. and the Senate at 2 p.m. The session can last no later than May 21.

New Yorkers' punk-funk sketches reissued
This re-released mini-album captures them at that point – pre-saxophone player, but post a lot of getting kicked around by girls to the strains of records by The Cure. ‘The Pop Song’ and ‘Confrontation’ seethe with unbelievable fervour, but not much in the way of tune. However, the title track is a corker, a headlong pelt into early ’80s punk funk in which The Rapture‘s dance tendencies are already fully-fledged, taken past boiling point thanks to a near-hysterical performance from singer Luke Jenner.
It’s a far from complete statement, but still sounds like the start of something special. The rehabilitation of indie dance starts here!

Tevin Campbell, "Strawberry Letter #23" (1991)
Color Me Badd's "I Wanna Sex You Up" was a huge smash in early 1991, thanks largely to a prominent sample of the Jones-produced "Strawberry Letter #23." That may have had something to do with Jones' decision to have his newest protégé, teenage heartthrob and R&B singer Tevin Campbell, cover "Strawberry Letter #23" on his debut album, T.E.V.I.N., released at the end of 1991. While still only 12, Campbell made his first big splash as a featured vocalist on Jones's 1989 album Back on the Block. Spotting the seeds of another Michael Jackson, Jones set about ushering Campbell into the ranks of pop royalty – and succeeded, with T.E.V.I.N. going platinum and catapulting him into stardom. Jones, whose production work for other artists had begun to slow down following Bad, wasn't as hands-on with T.E.V.I.N. as he had been with his previous charges, from Lesley Gore and the Brothers Johnson to Patti Austin and James Ingram. Instead, he served as executive producer on T.E.V.I.N. – although he did step in to personally produce Campbell's new jack swing–injected "Strawberry Letter #23." While not a major entry in Jones's production discography, Campbell's rendition of the song completed a circuit in Jones' career and reiterated his position as one of pop's most innovative hitmakers, as well as one of its most generous mentors. Or as grateful Campbell summed up in a 1991 interview with Video Soul, "If there was one word to describe Quincy, it'd be 'genius.'"

The film version of Stephen King’s bestselling novel Cell, starring John Cusack, will begin shooting in September.
The film will be directed by Tod “Skip” Williams, who gave us Paranormal Activity 2. JoBlo reports that principal photography begins in September and gives the following synopsis: “When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell (Cusack) is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected ‘phoners.'”
The film adaptation of Cell has been in the works for years now. Eli Roth was originally set to direct the film in 2007 but that version fell apart. Cell will be Cusack’s third Stephen King adaptation after Stand By Me and 1408.

Little Bear Cub Wasn't Even Recognizable When People Found Him
He and his sister were living off nothing but bananas — but they're such happy, chubby cubs now!
Today, Ant and Kham are happy and playful little bear cubs. But just one year ago, these moon bears were so weak that they could hardly lift their heads.
Locked in a tiny cage at a construction site in Laos, the bears had spent the entirety of their young lives behind bars as pets. Their bodies were so skinny, with wispy reddish-brown fur hanging loosely hanging off their frames. They looked close to death.
The brother and sister had endured so much, but their new lives were just around the corner. Free The Bears fund had been alerted of the animals’ fate and traveled to rescue them last February.
The rescuers were able to slowly piece together the details of the animals’ pasts.
“We were told that they had only ever been fed bananas,” Rod Mabin, communications manager for Free The Bears, told The Dodo. “Both bears were very skinny, lethargic and very small for their age, closer to the size of 6- to 9-month-old cubs cubs despite being 2 to 3 years old. Their fur should have been a rich and thick black coat.”
Suffering from severe malnutrition, the bears were hardly clinging to life — but they did. Back at the rescue center after a long journey home, the bears settled comfortably into a quarantine ward and were given the most nutritious meals they’d had in their lives.
After a few weeks of steady meals, medicine and room to move around, the cubs were feeling stronger — and even felt well enough to meet a friend.
“They were slowly introduced to a balanced diet and quickly gained weight, muscle mass and confidence,” Mabin said. “When introduced to a 2-year-old cub, they were wary at first, however soon became friends. The playful cub helped bring them out of their shells even more.”
The bears once had growling stomachs and barely any energy — and now they were playing and romping around like youngsters. With each month at the rescue, Ant and Kham experienced new sights, sounds and toys.
The siblings met everything new with curiosity, and although they may never grow as big as other cubs their age, they make up for it in heart. Their hair is slowly starting to get thicker, but only time will tell to know whether they are able to grow a full coat.
“Now that they are on the path to recovery, they like to do what all bear cubs love — climbing, wrestling, play fighting, eating and sleeping,” Mabin said. “Ant loves to nap in his hammock. The two remain very close and we'll often see them napping together.”
It’s now been a year since they were rescued, and Ant and Kham have completely transformed. They live alongside several other rescued youngsters, and the staff hopes to bring them to an even larger forest home later this year.
After everything they’ve endured, they’ve finally found peace and comfort — together.
“It's incredibly rewarding to see these two beautiful bears bounce back from near death,” Mabin said. “Ant and Kham will need lifelong care at our sanctuaries, which can last up to 40 years. They're not only an inspiration for everyone associated with Free the Bears, they also inspire the many thousands of visitors who pass through [our rescue center], helping to raise awareness of the illegal wildlife trade and wildlife conservation issues.”

By Mark Lamport-Stokes
UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington (Reuters) - Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson moved into a tie for the early U.S. Open lead on Thursday while Phil Mickelson made an encouraging start in his bid for a career grand slam of the four majors.
Long-hitting Johnson took advantage of calm conditions on a firm and fast-running Chambers Bay layout as he fired a five-under-par 65 in the first round of the year's second major, which is being played for the first time in the Pacific Northwest.
The 30-year-old American piled up six birdies and a lone bogey to finish level with Swede Henrik Stenson, who birdied four of his last five holes at the British Open-style venue.
They were one stroke ahead of American Patrick Reed with half the field back in the clubhouse, while American Matt Kuchar trailed by two.
"I hit the ball really well ... had a lot of good looks at birdie all day," Johnson, who like Stenson is seeking a first major title, told reporters.
"It's firm but you could control your golf ball, for sure. Today I controlled my ball very well. The confidence is definitely there. I feel really good about where I'm at and going into tomorrow."
Stenson joined Johnson at the top after draining a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a homeward nine of four-under 31.
"It was a good day," said the Swedish world number six. "I was striking it nicely, which led to a lot of birdie opportunities for me.
"I felt like I was really keeping my patience and a level head out there. I hit some beautiful putts and managed to slip a few in there. It was a good way to finish the day."
Mickelson, who is yearning to complete a career grand slam of the four majors by winning his first U.S. Open, was "very pleased" after carding a 69 that included four birdies and three bogeys.
"I hit a lot of good shots today," Mickelson, a runner-up at the U.S. Open a record six times, said after hitting nine of 14 fairways and totalling 31 putts. "I shot under par the first day of the U.S. Open.
"The first round was the round I was going to be most nervous at, getting started. You don't want to have to fight to come back all the time. You want to get off to a solid start around par.
"I'm very pleased with the way the round went."
It was an average morning for Northern Ireland's world number one Rory McIlroy. Seeking his fifth major victory, he birdied his second hole but never got into top gear to return a 72.
Masters champion Jordan Spieth was among the late starters, and teed off with 2013 champion Justin Rose of England and Australian Jason Day in one of the most eye-catching trios of the day.
Spieth is seeking his second major crown after clinching his first in sensational fashion at the Masters in April when he completed a wire-to-wire victory by four shots to match Tiger Woods's tournament record low for 72 holes.
Woods, who has been struggling for form and won the most recent of his 14 major titles at the 2008 U.S. Open, was also among the late starters.

It’s finals week for me which means a few more days and I’ll be back home in the kitchen. Surprisingly, though, I’ve grown to love the dinning hall. I do miss cooking and having some of my bizarre food combinations, but the dinning hall is so convenient and a great place to try some new things that I would not have otherwise. It has also helped with my intuitive eating mindset since I don’t need to plan and prep every meal of the week.
Long time no FDOE. . . probably because dinning hall food isn’t very photogenic and dorm lighting is not much better.
Another FDOE – this time winter break edition.
Finished my high school career last Wednesday and graduated on Sunday so today’s full day of eating is brought to you by the first day of summer.
Merry – almost – Christmas! Today’s full day of eating is from a Sunday earlier this month.
These Cascadian Farms soft baked squares have been my jam lately.
Fall is in full swing, and it is about time I share another oatmeal recipe.

Part of Bobby Ferrell’s vision during his term as commander of Hilton Stone American Legion Post 279 in Woodbury was to see the inception of American Legion baseball in the community.
It did not take long for the dream to become a reality as Woodbury has an American Legion baseball team for the first time in 2013.
The Hilton Stone American Legion Post 279 team is a 17-under squad whose players all hail from within Cannon County and all of its players are drawn from Cannon County High School.
The squad carries its full compliment of 18 players.
“American Legion is very active with the youth and baseball is a big part of that,” Ferrell said. “Getting an American Legion baseball program started in Woodbury was important to us for the involvement and it is also an important program for American Legion. We are thrilled to have this team. We are also pleased with how they have competed in the first year of competition.”
Manager Tony Stinnett sees the situation as a win-win for all involved.
All of the players on the American Legion Post 279 squad are also members of the Cannon County High School baseball team.
“This serves as our summer program and we are able to keep all of our players together throughout the summer,” Stinnett said. “We are involved in a great organization and American Legion baseball is highly competitive not only in Tennessee, but also throughout the nation.”
That competition has tested the younger Lions in the first season. All American Legion teams are either 19-under or 17-under. The majority draw the top players from three or more high schools in their area so the competition has been stiff.
“We have held our own in the four tournaments we have played,” Stinnett said. “Our players continue to improve and our younger players will only benefit from practicing and playing with this team. I can already see improvements.”
Post 279 Commander Christine Barrett said many of the veterans within the organization was delighted to realize Woodbury would have an American Legion team in 2013.
“American Legion Baseball enjoys a reputation as one of the most successful and tradition-rich amateur athletic leagues,” Barrett said. “There are many top programs throughout the state and we are proud to say we have one of them right here in Woodbury.”
The Post 279 Lions have primarly played tournaments throughout the month of June. They have participated in four tournaments to date. They are scheduled to play in the Tullahoma End of Summer Bash July 11-14, before playing in the American Legion Junior State Tournament at Columbia State, July 18-22.
The Lions also expect to have a series of home doubleheaders throughout the month of July.
“As with anything this will improve with each year,” Stinnett said. “Last year we didn’t have a team and this summer we will have played in a minimum of six tournaments. Our plans call for more home games and to host a summer tournament in 2014. We are just excited about this partnership with American Legion Post 279, and excited to have the chance to represent our veterans.”

Manoj Bajpayee’s Bhonsle was greeted with a packed house at the India Premiere of the film at the 20th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival With Star.
The film which has been directed by Devashish Makhija had been selected for the India Story section at the festival.
Audiences flocked to the venue of PVR Icon in Andheri where the premiere of the film was held.
The premiere of the film was attended by Manoj Bajpayee, Devashish Makhija, producers Abhayanand Singh (of Indie Muviz), Sandiip Kapur (of Promodome Motion Pictures) and writer Mirat Trivedi (who has co-written the film with Devashish Makhija and Sharanya Rajgopal)
In the film, Manoj Bajpayee plays the titular role of Bhonsle – a terminally ill lone wolf Maharashtrian cop who has retired against his will, in a politically tumultuous Mumbai. Bhonsle finds himself forging an unlikely companionship with a 23-year-old North-Indian girl and her little brother, while the raging conflict destroying the world around them reaches his doorstep, giving him one last battle worth fighting for, but it might just be too late.
The film reunites director Devashish Makhija, producer Indie Muviz and Manoj Bajpayee – the trio behind the highly acclaimed short film Taandav. Manoj Bajpayee had bagged the Best Actor award for the short film at the Filmfare Awards 2016.
The film also features a stellar cast which includes Marathi star Santosh Juvekar, theatre thespian Ipshita Chakraborty Singh and introduces the child artist Virat Vaibhav.
The film is produced by Manoj Bajpayee Productions, Golden Ratio Films, Promodome Motion Pictures and Indie Muviz
The premiere of the film was followed by Q&A with director Devashish Makhija and Manoj Bajpayee which was moderated by writer-filmmaker Vasan Bala whose film Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota opened this year’s edition of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival With Star.
Vasan Bala pointed out that the character of the cop in Bhonsle doesn’t speak a lot unlike the cops shown usually in popular Hindi films such as Zanjeer and Bajpayee’s own Shool and lets his silences speak.
Manoj Bajpayee said the character of Bhonsle represents the sentiments of today’s people and the times we live in. “Bhonsle’s silence conveys the depression and the hopelessness experienced by today’s generation. These are the people who have lost hopes from life completely and somewhere they feel they have failed themselves.”
The actor said that he and Devashish had been working on the film for over 4 years and it got made due to the efforts of Sandiip Kapur, Abhayanand Singh and Piiyush Singh who chose to go to with his and Devashish’s vision and backed the film.
“I can’t think of any other actor who would have fought the way Manoj did to get Bhonsle made.” – said Devashish Makhija
Manoj Bajpayee who was glad to have Bhonsle’s India Premiere at the 20th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival With Star said, “It’s always a great feeling to show your film to movie lovers in your own country and get their responses. The India premiere at MAMI is an important milestone in the festival journey of the film. I am glad to return to MAMI with Bhonsle after Aligarh and Gali Guleiyan.”
Director Devashish Makhija who was equally excited about the premiere says, “MAMI has been a burst of energy with insanely long lines and high on passion viewers. The demand and response for Bhonsle has been manic and overwhelming. This kind of response makes the effort of making such a film worth it.”
Piiyush Singh, the producer of Bhonsle and founder of Indie Muviz says, “We are very excited with the response received by Bhonsle at MAMI. It’s a premium festival in India and such feedback encourages us as a production house to continue making such films which speak a global language.”
Sandiip Kapur, the founder of Promodome Motion Pictures and producer of Bhonsle says, “It’s a huge privilege that Bhonsle has been selected in MAMI. There are few things bigger than this for an independent film maker like me. I am feeling great and extremely proud of my entire team which includes Manoj Bajpayee, Devashish Makhija, the technicians and many others who have worked on the film. I would like to thank everyone and MAMI.”

The Judiciary is a weak link in the fight against ‘galamsey’ – MCAG
The Coalition is of the view that the fines that are being imposed on perpetrators of the illegal act by the law courts are not strong enough to discourage people from engaging in ‘galamsey’.
Mr Kenneth Ashigbey, Convener of MCAG, said this during the 6th Town Hall Meeting of the Coalition and the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) held in Bole in the Northern Region.
He said with the Minerals and Mining Act, Act 900, if a Ghanaian is found to have engaged in ‘galamsey’, he or she would be fined 2000 to 20,000 penalty units, adding that currently a penalty unit was GHC 12,00 making it GHC 2,400.00 to GHC 24000.00 fine or up to a prison term of 10 years.
“But we are seeing that the judges are just fining this people GHC 2,400.00”, he said.
The former Managing Director (MD) of the Graphic Communications Group Limited said for foreigners, the fine was 30,000 penalty units to 300,000 or up to a term of 20 years imprisonment.
Mr Ashigbey said when Aisha Wang and four others were arrested by the Immigration authorities and brought to the court, charges preferred against them were only under the Immigration Act while they were suspected to have contravened the Minerals and Mining Act as well.
“It has to take a member of the Coalition, Occupy Ghana to Petition the Attorney-General (A-G) before a change was made”, he said.
In September, Operation Vanguard also arrested some four Chinese nationals who were suspected to have engaged in illegal mining and they were granted bail, then three days later the same four and one other person were found engaging in the same act, he said.
“When they were brought back to the court, the judge fined them GHC 2,400.00 but they were actually having GHC 60,000.00 with them at the court there, so immediately they asked that they should take the fine out of it and give them, their balance”, he said.
“We were expecting that a fine of GHC 360,000 would have been given but the judge fined these Chinese GHC 2,400.00 which is definitely against the law”, Mr Ashigbey said.
The Convener of the MCAG said based on this observation, the Coalition has petitioned the A-G and the Chief Justice for them to look into the case so that justice was actually delivered and were enough to serve as a deterrent to discourage people from engaging in ‘galamsey’.
“We are asking the Chief Justice and the A-G to look into the sentences that are being handed over to these people so that we can have a strong justice delivery system to aid in the fight against galamsey in the country.
The MCAG/NCCE Town Hall Meeting was well attended by traditional rulers, farmers, staff of decentralised departments and agencies, students, the media and other members of the general public.

Boris Johnson has proved his dependence on Dominic Cummings
The prime minister is drawn to his adviser because he lacks confidence and a vision of his own
There is considerable astonishment that Boris Johnson chose to take a flamethrower to his reputation by mounting such an implausible defence of Dominic Cummings last night.
None of us should be surprised, though. Mr Johnson is, it should be clear by now, psychologically dependent on Mr Cummings.
Despite public anger about the prime minister saying it was fine for Mr Cummings to use his instincts to break the lockdown rules he helped devise for others, Boris refused to budge. He has roped himself to Mr Cummings.
Why? What is it that binds the pair so closely together? The answer, I suspect, is their shared view of the world and extreme scepticism about contemporary notions of accountability. Both have personalities that lead them to behave as


Driven by the belief that good design can add value and make a difference in the world, Andrew Rogers Industrial Design has been facilitating entrepreneurs to develop the best possible solutions for over 30 years. Offering design and manufacturing solutions from concept through to point of sale, we have brought more than 300 successful products to market. This work has been across a range of sectors including health, industry and education.
Industrial design exists in the realm between art, science and engineering. At Andrew Rogers Industrial Design we welcome the problems of our clients and embrace the process of finding a solution for them. Sometimes, along the way we redefine what the problem is, but we always come up with a design-based solution that best meets their needs.Our aim is to develop a solution that can effectively and practically bring a new product to market. We believe that the design process should encompass every aspect of what is needed to do this, so we offer services from the conceptualisation stage, through to prototype development, tooling and manufacturing support, point-of-sale offerings and ongoing quality control.
With over 30 years’ experience across the entire industrial design process, we offer a comprehensive service which allows our clients to disrupt the status quo in whatever sphere they are working in. Our ability to think differently about a problem, with the knowledge acquired over a lifetime of diverse design projects, allows us to offer suggestions which provide our clients with a distinct competitive advantage.
Our business methodology includes onsite prototyping and manufacturing advice and support. We understand the tooling required to manufacture products efficiently and therefore as part of our service we produce engineered and tested designs that can be transferred between worldwide manufacturing facilities. This provides flexibility and agility and has been specifically beneficial for the Edison programmable robot, Sumi Forklift, and the G Dot soil moisture meter.
The methodology and philosophy behind Andrew Rogers Industrial Design has seen the development and production of more than 300 products successfully brought to market. Sales of the Edison Robot and Edison EdCreate expansion kits alone have resulted in export revenue of around $2.2 million.
As a result of our successes across the board, we have been able to open a manufacturing and assembly facility in China. Here, products that have been strategically designed by us are being cost-effectively produced to the highest standard. Our strategy to keep manufacturing costs low has meant we have been able to create more high value jobs in Australia, effectively doubling our full-time skilled workforce. We are also able to provide a return on investment for our stakeholders which encourages ongoing product development and innovation.
Other Key Features
Across many products and sectors, Andrew Rogers Industrial Design provides a turn-key solution from design concept to finished solution, delivered to customers around the world.

This business model ensures we continually produce an outstanding, high quality product for our customers.
Our customers, both in Australia and overseas, have achieved success as a result of the work we have completed. Many of the products we have helped create in Australia are now being exported overseas, and many of our customers have been able to expand their workforce, creating new high-value jobs for Australians.
The driving force behind the business, Andrew Rogers encourages strategic thinking and welcomes ideas and feedback of all business employees. His personal approach to strategic design is a hands-on one which results in a better product and allows him to refine the project through in-house model making and prototype development. Leading by example, Andrew hopes that his actions and successes demonstrate to his employees and others in the industry the power which industrial design has to reframe problems and improve everyday tasks - advancing the world a little bit with each new innovative product.

Apple Inc. said second-quarter profit rose 88 percent because of soaring consumer demand for its iPod media players and Macintosh computers. The company’s shares surged 6.3 percent in extended trading.
Net income increased to $770 million, or 87 cents, from $410 million, or 47 cents, a year earlier, the Cupertino-based company said Wednesday.
Apple sold 10.5 million iPods and 1.52 million Macs in the quarter ended March 31, boosted by demand for notebook computers and the low-cost iPod Shuffle. Lower prices for memory chips and screens increased profit. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs is counting on the new iPhone, a product due in late June, to help spur results this quarter.
“The numbers were pretty unbelievable,” said Chris Armbruster, an analyst at Al Frank Asset Management in Laguna Beach. The firm manages about $900 million and owns Apple shares. “The biggest thing that jumps out at me was their gross margin.”
Gross margin — the percentage of sales left after excluding the cost of goods — widened to 35.1 percent in the quarter, from 29.8 percent a year earlier. Most analysts were expecting 30 percent, said Shaw Wu at American Technology Research in San Francisco.
Apple shares rose $6 to $101.31 in extended trading after the results were released.
Sales this quarter will be $5.1 billion, and profit will be about 66 cents a share, Apple said in the statement.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday that Apple won’t be sanctioned for backdating options, though it did cast blame on two former executives. Former Chief Financial Officer Fred Anderson settled an SEC lawsuit against him, and former General Counsel Nancy Heinen’s lawyers said she will fight the SEC’s civil lawsuit filed against her.
Anderson said he cautioned Jobs in January 2001 that the company may need to take a charge for stock-option grants that were not properly dated. An Apple probe in December cleared Jobs of any wrongdoing.
“We have complete confidence in the conclusions of Apple’s independent investigation, and in Steve’s integrity and his ability to lead Apple,” said six of Apple’s board members, including former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, in a statement Wednesday. “The SEC investigated the matter thoroughly and its complaint speaks for itself, in terms of what it says, what it does not say, who it charges and who it does not charge.”
The cost of flash-memory chips, which store songs on iPods, plunged as much as 45 percent last quarter, according to the online trading site DRAMexchange.com. The average price for liquid-crystal displays declined 9 percent in the first quarter, said LG.Philips LCD Co., the world’s second-largest maker of the displays after Samsung Electronics Co.
“Falling component costs in the quarter were clearly going to be a windfall; it was just a question of how much,” said Matthew Kather, an analyst at WR Hambrecht, who has a “buy” rating on the stock.
Component prices fell more than Apple anticipated, Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said Wednesday.
“Both the Mac and iPod exceeded our expectations,” Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer said. Demand for notebook PCs contributed to an “awesome Mac quarter,” he said.
Sales of Mac notebooks rose 83 percent to $1.35 billion, outpacing a 10 percent rise in desktop-computer sales.
Jobs, 52, didn’t unveil new Mac or iPod designs last quarter, his usual strategy for spurring sales, though analysts expect new products later this year to spur back-to-school and holiday demand. His one major product introduction was Apple TV, a $299 device released last month that beams digital videos from computers to televisions.

Poker is a card game in which players make bets by placing chips into a pot. The object of the game is to win the “pot,” or the sum total of all bets placed during a hand. Although the outcome of any single hand is largely dependent on chance, skill can dramatically reduce the variance of luck and increase your chances of winning.
In the game of poker, players are dealt two personal cards and five community cards. The player with the best 5-card hand wins the pot, which consists of all bets made during that round. The first step to improving your poker game is to practice and observe other players’ play to develop quick instincts. You should also keep a journal of your games to help memorize the key formulas and internalize calculations so that you can use them during a hand.
Before the betting begins, players can choose to “call” a bet by putting in the same amount of money as the player to their left, or to raise that bet by adding more chips into the pot. Alternatively, they can “drop” their cards and drop out of the hand.
After the flop, the dealer reveals a third community card, the turn. Then there is another round of betting. Once the betting is complete, the final community card is revealed, which is called the river. Finally, there is one last round of betting before the remaining cards are revealed in a showdown.
The basic rules of poker are simple and easy to understand. There are several types of poker, but the ideal number of players is 6. The object of the game is to win the pot, which is the sum total of all bets made during a deal. The winner of the pot is the player who has the highest-ranking poker hand at the end of the hand.
There are many different strategies for playing poker, but most involve learning the basics of poker strategy and math to maximize your profits. In addition, you should always try to avoid bluffing too often, and call raises only when you have a strong value hand. Finally, you should try to play from late positions, as they give you a greater ability to manipulate the pot on later betting streets. In addition, you should try to play only the best hands that you can afford to fold if you are beaten by a better hand. This will protect your bankroll from bad beats and improve your overall profitability.

The Boston terrier breed originated around 1870, when Robert C. Hooper of Boston, purchased from Edward Burnett a dog named Judge (known later as Hooper’s Judge), which was of a Bull and Terrier type lineage. Hooper’s Judge is either directly related to the original Bull and Terrier breeds of the 19th and early 20th centuries, or Judge is the result of modern English Bulldogs being crossed into terriers created in the 1860s for show purposes, like the White English Terrier. The American Kennel Club cites Hooper’s Judge as the ancestor of almost all true modern Boston Terriers.
The Boston Terrier is a compactly built, well-proportioned dog. It has a square-looking head with erect ears and a slightly arched neck. The muzzle is short and generally wrinkle-free, with an even or a slightly undershot bite. The chest is broad and the tail is short. According to international breed standards, the dog should weigh no more than 25 pounds (11 kg). Boston Terriers usually stand up to 15-17 inches at the withers.
The American Kennel Club divides the breed into three classes: under 15 pounds, 15 pounds and under 20 pounds, 20 pounds and not exceeding 25 pounds.
Coat and color
The Boston Terrier is characteristically marked with white in proportion to either black, brindle, seal (color of a wet seal, a very dark brown that looks black except in the bright sun), or a combination of the three. Any other color is not accepted as a Boston Terrier by the American Kennel Club, as they are usually obtained by crossbreeding with other breeds and the dog loses its characteristic “tuxedo” appearance.
According to the American Kennel Club, an ideal Boston Terrier should have white that covers its chest, muzzle, band around the neck, halfway up the forelegs, up to the hocks on the rear legs, and a white blaze between (but not touching) the eyes. For conformation showing, symmetrical markings are preferred. Due to the Boston Terrier’s markings resembling formal wear, in addition to its refined and pleasant personality, the breed is commonly referred to as the “American Gentleman.”
Boston is a gentle breed that typically has a strong, happy-go-lucky, and friendly personality with a merry sense of humor. Bostons are generally eager to please their owner and can be easily trained. They can be very protective of their owners, which may result in aggressive and territorial behavior toward other pets and strangers. The breed requires only a minimal amount of grooming.
While originally bred for fighting as well as hunting rats in garment factories, they were later down bred for companionship. They are not considered terriers by the American Kennel Club, however, but are part of the non-sporting group.
Both females and males are generally quiet and bark only when necessary, though early training in this regard is essential. Their usually sensible attitude towards barking makes them excellent choices for apartment dwellers. They enjoy being around people, get along well with children, the elderly, other canines, and non-canine pets, if properly socialized.
Curvature of the back, called roaching, might be caused by patella problems with the rear legs, which in turn causes the dog to lean forward onto the forelegs. This might also just be a structural fault with little consequence to the dog. Many Bostons cannot tolerate excessive heat and also extremely cold weather, due to the shortened muzzle, so hot or cold weather combined with demanding exercise can bring harm to a Boston Terrier. A sensitive digestive system is also typical of Boston Terriers. In the absence of good quality, proper diet, flatulence is associated with the breed. Their large and prominent eyes make Boston Terriers prone to corneal ulcers.
Bostons are brachycephalic breeds. The word comes from Greek roots “Brachy,” meaning short and “cephalic,” meaning head. This anatomy can cause tiny nostrils, long palates and a narrow trachea. Bostons may be prone to snoring and reverse sneeze—a rapid and repeated forced inhalation through the nose—accompanied by snorting or gagging sounds used to clear the palate of mucus, which does not harm the dog in any way. Brachycephalic dogs may be prone to complications with general anesthesia. Bostons frequently require caesarean section to give birth, with over 90% of litters in a UK Kennel Club survey delivered this way.

Are gorgeous garden views the key to selling a property?
When it comes to selling a house, what’s the most important feature buyers look for? A beautiful bathroom? A huge kitchen with an island? Multiple bedrooms?
Actually, it’s what’s outside the house that’s most important to many people, as research has revealed that over a third of house buyers would purchase their new home based on a good view alone. Furthermore, the majority of homeowners (87.5%) believe that a garden view can add up to £15,000 onto the value of the home.
What the view is of is also important as over a third of homeowners choosing a sea view as their favourite landscape; a quarter of homeowners opting for a view of the countryside and 15% of homeowners preferring rolling hills.
The research, which was commissioned by Origin, UK manufacturer of bi-folding doors, found that over half of the 2,000 homeowners asked thought the best room in their house is the one with the best views.
According to the study, 51% of people feel they don’t normally have enough time to enjoy their home and garden due to the British weather. That changed during the warm summer weather as three in five homeowners have been able to make improvements to their gardens and outside space as a result. In fact, half of these people feel their efforts in the garden has paid off and their improvements actually added value to their property overall.
Neil Ginger, CEO of Origin, said: “Over 80% of homeowners agree that the British countryside and views are the main benefits of living in this country. Over the last two years we have witnessed an 86% increase in bi-folding door sales, which shows that homeowners want to make the most of these stunning views.
Bi-folding doors add value to a property by bringing the outside in and giving homeowners a great view, all year round.”
So if you’re thinking of selling your property then it might be wise to roll your sleeves up and head out into the garden to create the best view possible for potential buyers.

Welcome to the Website of the Consortium Benchmarking of the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT!
Find out everything about our current and completed benchmarkings.
Agile Product Development: Successfully designing agile products
Shorter product life cycles, growing competitive pressure and ever more complex products lead to increasing demands on the product development of established companies and at the same time to a larger number of parallel development projects. In order to bring products to market faster and meet customer requirements as accurately as possible, companies are increasingly relying on agile principles in product development.
The application of agile approaches to the development of physical products and their implementation in existing structures presents established companies with new challenges. To enable companies from different industries to master this transformation and exploit the full potential of agile principles, we would like to work with a consortium to identify success patterns in the agile development of physical products.
The Fraunhofer IPT therefore conducts a benchmarking on the topic of "Agile Product Development" together with an international industrial consortium. The aim of this study is to identify and benefit from successful and proven solutions and success factors. Concepts, methods and procedures of successful practice companies should be identified in order to find out how physical products can be successfully developed and which approaches have proven to be successful.

TV license fee increases to 3,500 won per monthBy Cho Ji-hyun
Published : Feb. 18, 2011 - 19:28
The decision was made during its general meeting from which two of the five commissioners walked out in protest.
Households with television sets are all currently obliged to pay a fixed fee of 2,500 won under the Broadcast Law.
The commission’s proposal will be sent to the National Assembly for further review.
“The KCC came to a conclusion that the original proposal of KBS should be practiced for it to become the first step to normalize the financial operations at KBS,” said Kim Jun-sang, director-general of broadcasting policy bureau at the commission.
“We agreed to increase the viewing fee by 1,000 won but have the increased fee spent on practicing responsibility as the public broadcaster and for the station to rely less on commercials.”
The commission also said that an additional increase would be discussed again in 2014.
Earlier in November last year, the board of directors at KBS unanimously decided to raise the monthly viewing fee to 3,500 won from 2,500 won, claiming it was a move taken for the first time in the past 30 years.
Kim In-kyu, CEO of the Korea Broadcasting System, also known as KBS, said most of the revenue from the fee hike will be spent on revamping networks and its high-definition infrastructure in a bid to provide digital TV services and improve its content.
All analog services are scheduled to be terminated by 2012.
“We’re expecting that it will cost us more than 500 billion won to make preparation measures to go digital by the end of next year,” he told KCC commissioners during its meeting held earlier on Thursday. “However, we can’t bear this with our current source of income.”
Last June, KBS initially proposed two plans involving the viewing fee hike ― increasing it to 6,500 won per month and not taking any advertisements, and increasing it to 4,600 per month and relying less on advertisements.
The board of directors at KBS, however, came to an agreement to increase it to 3,500 won per month following five-month long discussions.

Navigation as a Service (NaaS) empowers any company to embed a real-time navigation experience into their existing apps with virtually no development effort. If your business depends on moving people or things around, you can finally control and monetize the attention of customers and generate greater profit from your drivers. Significantly, you no longer need to depend on navigation controlled by the world's largest companies. We believe navigation is for everyone. NaaS is the next revolution in SaaS — and TallyGo is the platform to accelerate that future.
Real-time road network data is exploding. Smartphones have been a primary source of traffic data, making apps like Google Maps and Waze dominant in the market. But smartphone GPS is not that accurate and not that granular. More advanced sensors are increasingly common today, like, traffic cameras, and soon, advanced vehicles. TallyGo is the first navigation company to deploy a complete navigation stack specifically for minute-level data.
There are literally billions of possible routes even for short drives, so finding the fastest one within milliseconds is a really hard computational problem. Today's apps address this by pre-computing routes in advance for different times of day and conditions. By contrast, TallyGo's dynamic routing evaluates all possible paths on the fly using minute-level traffic data to find the actual fastest route, which other apps have likely already excluded in their pre-computation.
TallyGo holds four granted patents and others pending that span every layer of next generation navigation technology, from minute-level traffic data ingestion and prediction to advanced routing, nearest neighbor search, and accident decongestion analysis. Anyone can claim their stack is "real-time" — TallyGo is the only company today truly living up to that name.
With just 5 easy steps that take only a few minutes, the TallyGo Navigation SDK enables any company to embed real-time, turn-by-turn navigation in their existing customer or driver experience. Seriously, in a matter of minutes you could fundamentally transform your relationship with customers and drivers. See how easy it is to install the SDK in the video below.
Until now any company that needs navigation faces three really poor options: (1) most redirect their users to another app - a huge missed opportunity; (2) others try to cobble together a solution with crappy open source tools that no one ends up using; and (3) a few sink millions into trying to build their own navigation, which is a huge distraction from their core business. With NaaS, any company can have their own real-time, turn-by-turn navigation embedded within their existing app.
Controlling your own navigation experience is critical for any ride-sharing or delivery company to enable pooling or batching routes that maximize profitability. It's also important for auto, map search, retail, emergency response, dispatch, logistics and a host of other kinds of companies who now lose the attention of users 1-2 minutes into the experience. Someone orders a cappuccino from the Starbucks app, finds an Italian restaurant on Yelp, discovers their next coffee shop on Foursquare, sees a great open house on Zillow...and then they switch over to a navigation app that gets to control and monetize 99% of their attention...boy is that silly!
TallyGo began five years ago as a research project at USC, evaluating the accuracy of navigation apps using loop detector data. It turns out these apps are leaving a lot on the table. So our team built the first ever intelligent routing layer for minute-level data, and then all this protectable IP was spun off into TallyGo.
