I know I’ve heard people recently talking of buying organic produce and buying locally but I never realized how much it can make a difference, and further, how not-that-expensive it could really be. I remember back at university thinking that buying organic local veggies was ridiculously overpriced, and perhaps it was, or I was just poor, so it seemed very expensive. But recently I have been looking online at locally delivered organic produce and it only runs in the $20-40 a week range. That certainly doesn’t seem overpriced to me.
A number of companies now offer a “box” option of organic, local veggies. They send you boxes of veggies and fruits that are in season and available in that week, which allows farmers to harvest the vegetables that are ready and have a market for them. This supports organic farmers and provides a local market for their produce. I know some people think “well what if I want arugula and they don’t offer it that week” but to me, I love the idea of them sending me a wide assortment of random veggies that I might never choose for myself. It broadens my veggie consumption and provides me with the excuse to find new recipes, be surprised and try new things.
Buying locally helps the environment because it minimizes the fuel costs associated with transporting foodstuffs around the world on ships and airplanes. Buying organic helps because it preserves soil in any areas where it is used, allowing continued use of the soil to grow more food. This is in contrast to farming that occurs in areas such as deforested rainforest, where the soil is not conducive to growing crops and farming sugarcane there only is effective for 3-5 years before the soil erodes or loses all its nutrient value, or both. Organic growing also maintains healthy ecosystems around the areas that are being farmed, because pesticides and herbicides are not leaking into the water supply and being consumed by humans and the surrounding animals. Although there are these reasons and many others, it seems to me that for a few dollars more, wouldn’t you want to support farmers who are trying to make a difference to the planet we live on, have non-carcinogenic food items, and preserve the soil, water, and your own surrounding environment? Everyone always complains that bad things are happening in “their” neighborhoods. Buying organic local food items is your chance to help change things directly in “your” neighborhood!
Check out these cool websites (I was incredibly surprised how many companies are out there at the click of a google search engine):

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults each year. But don’t worry, there is hope! We will discuss proven tactics that can help you overcome anxiety and regain control of your life. Anxiety Treatment is succesful.
Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time. Whether it’s before a big test or a first date, anxiety is a normal part of life. However, for some people, anxiety is more than just a occasional feeling of nerves. It’s a chronic condition that can cause significant distress and interfere with daily activities. If you’re struggling with anxiety, it’s important to understand what it is and how it affects you.
Anxiety is a mental health disorder that is characterized by fear, worry, and unease. People with anxiety may have intrusive thoughts, feel constantly on edge, and experience physical symptoms such as sweating and heart palpitations. For many people, anxiety can be debilitating, making it difficult to work, socialize, or even leave the house. If you’re struggling with anxiety, there are treatment options available that can help you manage your symptoms and live a happier, healthier life.
If you are trying to overcome a bad habit, it is essential to identify your triggers and learn to avoid them. A trigger is anything that sets off a urge or craving. Common triggers include stress, boredom, anxiety, and tiredness. When you know what your triggers are, you can take steps to avoid them. For example, if you tend to snack when you are bored, try keeping your hands busy with a puzzle or a pack of gum. If you are prone to overeating when you are stressed, try taking a few deep breaths or going for a walk. Learning to avoid your triggers will help you to overcome your bad habits and live a healthier life.

I am James Joyce, Jay Gatsby,

of our lovers, and our friends, and let
our words dance too, tongue of the

exit out, your soul, my soul belongs
to the dead, belongs to the poet, wife,
mother, masterful daughter, orphan-
chariot. Give my sadness, our sadness
elbow room, so fragile, so brave we
are, so fragile, so bold, so proudly defiant
are we, Sylvia, loved, loved for eternity-
marked-by-tragedy, by literary-words,
dramatic-words, genius-words, moral
escapist-words. I demand hemlock for
the angels to exit, to eat the sun to bliss,
to delight in killing off winter oranges.
This house is so empty, so rustic.
Put some pictures on the wall, and
brighten the place up a bit. Scrub, scrub
these old, wooden floors. Make it spic
and span for my man. We’ll have people
over. Oh, we’ll have friends of his over,
colleagues, teacher, and writer friends
of mine, but will they be impressed?
There I go again, I’m overly concerned
with unimportant matters. But what is a
girl to do? These rooms need a facelift.
Perhaps some paint on the bare walls.
In my dreams, I’m married now, and a
loyal, supportive and devoted wife. I
have to play chef, housekeeper, cook and
clean, teach, read, and write and work
on my thesis, and poetry, and book. Bow
down. I have aspects of Anne Sexton.
Making love is such a symphony, she said.
I even write like her a little, dress like

Consequently, it is easy for others to fall into the entice of evaluating their very own lives to these portrayed on their display screen, resulting in emotions of inadequacy and low vanity.
Equally, social media may result in unrealistic magnificence requirements and physique picture points.

Seeing these photographs day in and day trip can create unrealistic expectations of what an individual ought to appear to be, inflicting people to query their very own look and resulting in a destructive influence on vanity.
Furthermore, the fixed want for validation and searching for approval by means of likes, feedback, and shares on social media can take a toll on psychological well being. The variety of likes one receives on a publish has turn out to be a measure of recognition and value, leaving many people feeling anxious and searching for exterior validation for his or her self-worth.

One of the best ways to learn about any topic is start with very fundamental questions like What, Why etc? Good old Socratic method. In this series of articles on data mining, I plan to approach this topic in a similar fashion.
What is Data Mining?
Simply put, Data mining is the process of sifting through large data sets to identify and describe patterns, discover and establish relationships with an intent to predict future trends based on those patterns and relationships.
Why is data mining relevant now? Haven’t we been ‘mining’ data from time immemorial?
Yes and No. It is true that data was always analyzed to identify patterns and predict outcomes, the data that organizations had to deal with exploded in recent times with the advent of big data. As these large data sets make it almost impossible to identify those multi-dimensional patterns using traditional techniques or tools, data mining in its modern form, with the advent of latest tools and faster processing, automates the discovery of patterns, establishing relationships, and putting together predictive models thus making it efficient.
What are some of the specific benefits of data mining?
The broad benefit of identifying hidden patterns, consequent relationships and establishing predictive models can be applied to many functions and contexts in organizations.
Specifically, customer-focused functions can mine customer data to acquire new customers, retain customers, cross-sell to existing customers. Other examples are to enhance customer lead conversion rates and/or build future sales prediction models or new products & services.
Financial sector companies can build fraud-detection models and risk mitigation models. Energy and manufacturing sector can come up with proactive maintenance models and quality detection models. Retailers can build stock placement/replenishment models in stores and assess the effectiveness of promotions and coupons. Pharmaceutical companies can mine large chemical compounds data sets to identify agents for the treatment of diseases.
What skills are needed for data mining?
Data mining sits at the intersection of statistics (analysis of numerical data) and artificial intelligence / machine learning (Software and systems that perceive and learn like humans based on algorithms) and databases. Translating these into technical skills leads to requiring competency in Python, R, and SQL among others. In my opinion, a successful data miner should also have a business context/knowledge and other so called soft skills (team, business acumen, communication etc.) in addition to the above mentioned technical skills.
Why? Remember that data mining is a tool with the sole purpose of achieving a business objective (increase revenues / reduce costs) by accelerating the predictive capabilities. A pure technical skill will not accomplish that objective without some business context.
A data point is from Meta Brown’s book “Data Mining for dummies” where she states:
“A data miner’s discoveries have value only if a decision maker is willing to act on them. As a data miner, your impact will be only as great as your ability to persuade someone — a client, an executive, a government bureaucrat — of the truth and relevance of the information you have to share. This means you’ve got to learn to tell a good story — not just any story, but one that honestly conveys the facts and their implications in a way that is compelling for your decision maker.”
Hope this gives you an overview of data mining and where it can be applicable. To read original post, click here. In the next article, I plan to go over various data mining techniques. Until then, good bye.

Anyone heard of LEO WANTA..and if this threads old , move it or bin it mods, and accept my apologies.
Leo wanta was in the 80´s one of the main men in the federal reserve, when one day owing to his fame as a patriot & businesman, he recieved an
unusual request from the then president Ronald Regan.
He would be the administrator for some extremely large state funds which would be used in a secret war against the former USSR, which after the
downfall of communism, would return to the federal reserves of the US.
The cifras differ between conservative estimates of 25 trillion and rise upto 75 TRILLION dollars, for his part, Wanta was renamed US ambassador to
However, after the fall of communism, the money was´nt return to its home, the U.S. federal reserve.
Certain people in power did all they could to maintain the money, which really belongs to every US citizen, in thier hands and out of the federal
Leo Wanta ended up in in prison, first in Switzerlan & then in the US.
Well after his release he kept calling for his right to know who was managing the missing bucks, the bucks that cost him his freedom.
After all this money had been transfered by presidential order, presidential order nº. 12333.
If the money was moved by a so powerful a man, surely it was legal?
Some of the powerful enemies that Wanta has are -
GEORGE BUSH SR and HILLARY CLINTON, with varias journalists pointing the finger at both as moving and using the money, with this leaving Wanta saying
that he´s always suspected that Hillary had been involved in CIA operations.
A well known U.S. journalist Chris Story has spent years chasing the money, and says that a good number of poiticians, including Hillary Clinton are
acustomed to using this money to fund private businiess.
Being an international operation the sercret services of the U.S. operated in different countries at diffrent times, and to show their thanks &
following the protocols of Reagans assessores , they paid countries like CANADA , FRANCE, GERMANY, GREECE, MEXICO AND SPAIN 5000 million dollars
The government aslo had business with china, to which some of the agreements are sealed with WANTAS money.
The money was moved using CHIPS. A form of inter-bank cheque.
Even though the CHIPS are visible in the account books of the banks, in the change between money on paper and the hard cash, the money dissapears.
This being because where the money is they have sent it to other bank accounts by false transfers, using aalegedly politicians and the CIA.
Where the moneys at and who has it has been one of the subjects at the last G8 summit.
The fact the debt remains unpaid has provoked the fact that China now has ceased to use the U.S. dollar when it buys petrol.
FUNNY FACT - The principal exportor of petrol to China is IRAN..the best friends of the U.S. lately!!
Well, since then varias names have been linked to the missing loot, Rockafella, Rothschild, Angela Merkel and even the queen of England, aswell as an
endless list of judges, lawyers and presidents of varying countries.
Recently this has led to numeros banks throughout thr world freezing accounts that are conected with the money of Leo Wanta, so mainly the people
using it cant use it so freely like a few years ago.
Anyone feel bad about this or what?

Trademark law provides a remedy against "dilution by tarnishment of [a] famous mark" and the extension of copyright term was justified in part by concerns about tarnishment if Mickey Mouse fell into the public domain. But there has been little evidence of what harm (if any) trademark and copyright owners suffer due to unwholesome uses of their works. Chris Buccafusco, Paul Heald, and Wen Bu provide some new experimental evidence on this question in their new article, Testing Tarnishment in Trademark and Copyright Law: The Effect of Pornographic Versions of Protected Marks and Works. In short, they exposed over 1000 MTurk subjects to posters of pornographic versions of popular movies and measured perceptions of the targeted movie. They "find little evidence of tarnishment, except for among the most conservative subjects, and some significant evidence of enhanced consumer preferences for the 'tarnished' movies."
Before describing the experiments, their article begins with a thorough review of tarnishment theory and doctrine, as well as consumer psychology literature on the role of sex in advertising. For both experiments, subjects were shown numerous pairs of movie posters, and were asked questions like which movie a theater should show to maximize profits. In the first experiment, treatment subjects saw a poster for a pornographic version of one of the movies; e.g., before comparing Titanic vs. Good Will Hunting, treatment subjects had to compare the porn parody Bi-Tanic vs. another porn movie. Overall, control subjects chose the target movie (e.g., Titanic) 53% of the time, whereas treatment subjects who saw the porn poster (e.g., Bi-Tanic) chose the target movie 58% of the time, and this increase was statistically significant. Women were no less affected by the pornographic "tarnishment" than men, and familiarity with the target movie did not have any consistent effect.
The second experiment was similar to the first, but at the end, subjects were shown pairs of recent movies that could plausibly generate sequels and asked which they would rather see a sequel of (e.g., Interstellar vs. Prometheus). Treatment subjects had earlier seen a poster for a pornographic version of one of the films (e.g., Enter Stella, with posters created by a graphic designer, as actual porn versions had not yet been produced). In the overall results, whether subjects had seen the porn poster had no statistically significant effect on whether they wanted to see a sequel of that movie, but there was an interesting demographic difference: subjects who described themselves as "very socially conservative" were less likely to choose targeted sequel movies in the treatment condition.
The authors explain that this is "the first systematic attempt to test the tarnishment hypothesis," not "the last word." They note, for example, that subjects only experience the tarnishing works for 5-30 seconds in a private setting, that MTurkers may not be representative of the U.S. public for this effect. But they argue that their results still "cast substantial doubt on the strongest claims of tarnishment theorists" and "should put the ball back in the court of tarnishment theorists to produce empirical support for their claims."
I'll conclude by noting that readers hoping to see lots of racy movie posters by downloading this article will be disappointed. But these results suggest that if someone wants to create an x-rated version of Testing Tarnishment in Trademark and Copyright Law, Buccafusco, Heald, and Bu would be delighted—or at least would have little cause for complaint.

One of the top wing guards on the east coast, Brandon Randolph, has committed to Arizona.
The 6’6 sniper out of Westtown School (PA), chose the Wildcats over Syracuse, Oregon and Wake Forest after visiting the school this past weekend. Randolph told Scout.com, “After taking all my visits and obviously they were my last visit, I just had a good feeling going into it. It was a great atmosphere there with great academics and I guess it was just the best fit. It had everything we were looking for.”
A New York native, Randolph stock rose this summer after playing on the Nike EYBL circuit with PSA Cardinals where he teamed up with fellow Westtown School teammate and Top five player, Mo Bamba. Randolph averaged 15.8ppg throughout the circuit where he displayed his ability to be a sharpshooter, shooting 37% from beyond the arc.
Arizona has caught a lot of buzz this fall after solidifying a commitment from the Class of 2017 top player, DeAndre Ayton. With Randolph now joining along with sharpshooter Alex Barcello, the Wildcats now have the No. 1 recruiting class.


The Lun-class Ekranoplan is a ground effect vehicle (GEV) designed by Rostislav Evgenievich Alexeyev in 1975 and used by the Soviet and Russian navies from 1987 until sometime in the late 1990s.
It flew using the lift generated by the ground effect of its large wings when within about four metres (13 ft) above the surface of the water. Although they might look similar to regular aircraft, and have related technical characteristics, ekranoplans like the Lun are not aircraft, seaplanes, hovercraft, nor hydrofoils. Rather, “ground effect” is a distinct technology. The International Maritime Organization classifies these vehicles as maritime ships.


USA's civilian foreign intelligence service Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has alleged that China is waging a 'quiet kind of cold war' against the US, stating that the Asian nation is using all its resources to supplant America as the world's leading superpower.
A top CIA Asian expert said that Beijing doesn't want to go to war but the government under President Xi Jingping, is working tirelessly across multiple field to undermine US's authority on global platforms. He added that China's mechanisms are more subtle and delicate than Russia's employment of well-publicized activities.
"By their own terms and what Xi enunciates I would argue by definition what they're waging against us is fundamentally a cold war, a cold war not like we saw during the Cold War, but a cold war by definition. A country that exploits all avenues of power licit and illicit, public and private, economic and military, to undermine the standing of your rival relative to your own standing without resorting to conflict. The Chinese do not want conflict," Michael Collins, deputy assistant director of the CIA's East Asia mission centre said at the Aspen Security Forum on Friday.
Collins went so far as to compare China's situation to Russia's brash annexation of the Crimean peninsula, which was widely denounced in the West.
The US has also expressed concern over China's espionage and attempt to steal academic and business secrets from the US. China also has the second-largest defense budget in the world.

It's only fine if they do it.EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Sometime after midnight on a moonlit rural Oregon highway, a state trooper checking a car he had just pulled over found less than an ounce of pot on one passenger: A chatty 72-year-old woman blind in one eye.
She insisted the weed was legal and was approved by the U.S. government.
The trooper and his supervisor were doubtful. But after a series of calls to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Drug Enforcement Agency and her physician, the troopers handed her back the card — and her pot.
For the past three decades, Uncle Sam has been providing a handful of patients with some of the highest grade marijuana around. The program grew out of a 1976 court settlement that created the country's first legal pot smoker.
Advocates for legalizing marijuana or treating it as a medicine say the program is a glaring contradiction in the nation's 40-year war on drugs — maintaining the federal ban on pot while at the same time supplying it.
Government officials say there is no contradiction. The program is no longer accepting new patients, and public health authorities have concluded that there was no scientific value to it, Steven Gust of the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse told The Associated Press.

AMCP Town Hall: COVID-19
Webinar Recorded on April 29, 2020
Most Americans have not experienced a global pandemic that has had a larger impact on the population and health care community as the current coronavirus pandemic.
During this crisis, it is vital that health care professionals, including managed care pharmacy professionals, collaborate and help each other to find the best solutions to help their patients achieve the best possible outcomes. These last several weeks have resulted in rapid-paced changes in federal and state policies, transitions from office visits to telehealth visits, drug supply challenges, and the list continues.

I hid inside someone's garage at a house party because I didn't want anyone to see me cry. The smell of petrol mixed with boxed Christmas decorations wasn’t exactly comforting, but at least I was alone.
I'd started another argument with my boyfriend. I felt overwhelmed and uninterested in cheap vodka shots. I wished I could be the fun girlfriend, the cool girlfriend, but in reality, I was the insecure girlfriend.
The last time I felt confident was probably in school. I ran around the playground without care and wore whatever I wanted. But that drastically changed just a couple of years later.
Watch: Relationship Deal-breakers. Post continues below.
I started caring about what people thought. I lost my confidence. I’m sure I wasn’t alone because puberty is pretty awkward for any teen. But that uncomfortable feeling never went away. It was always there, in everything I did.
Then I started dating. And instead of those insecurities magically disappearing, they got worse. A lot worse.
My relationships became a mirror and reflected back at me was everything I didn’t like about myself. I didn't know what to do with what I saw.
I wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self to be confident, authentic, and happy. That if someone left me, it meant our relationship wasn't meant to be. But, c'est la vie.
I learned the hard way how being insecure created problems in relationships. What's worse? My insecurities limited how happy I could be for years. Something I'll never be able to go back and re-do.
If you resonate with these habits, you may be an insecure partner in your relationship, too.
Seeking reassurance from your partner.
"But do you really love me?" is a phrase I must've said to my university boyfriend at least a hundred times. Even though I could hear in his voice how annoyed he was, I'd continue prying.
Because I felt insecure in life, I wanted to feel secure in my relationship. And how was I supposed to know if I didn't ask?
But that’s not how insecurities work. Your own beliefs determine how you feel, not what other people say. That’s why I couldn't accept the things my boyfriend told me, even if he declared I was a gift from heaven because I thought I was trash spit up from hell.

Continued from "The Mutiny"
Delhi now became the center of political activities. Towards the close of the 19th century the spirit of rebellion spread across the country .The Indians openly sang songs of freedom and dreamed of independent India. They sang Vande Mataram composed by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, and Sare Jahan se achha, by Mohammad Iqbal. And in the South songs composed by Vallathol and Subramanya Bharati were sung by one and all.
By then Mahatma Gandhi had emerged as one of the greatest of our national leaders. The fight for freedom took on a special significance. People joined the movement in millions. Before long the British described Delhi as “turbulent”. They felt that “as long as the guns of the Red Fort are pointing down the Chandni Chowk, they (the People) will remain quiet, but, once these guns are removed, the temptation to lawlessness will be irresistible.”
On December 23, 1912 when Lord and Lady Hardinge's procession was passing through the Chandni Chowk, a bomb was thrown from the upper floor of a building near Dhulia walon ka katra killing the man who held the Vice Regal umbrella. Though a reward of Rs.100,000 was offered for handing over the culprit, no one volunteered any information.
The Jallianwalabagh tragedy took place on April 13, 1919. It resulted in the death of thousands of people due to the inhuman military firing at Amritsar. This prompted the Indian National Congress to decide on a policy of “progressive non-violent non-cooperation". But as soon as the non-cooperative movement was launched all the important leaders of the Congress in Delhi - Dr. Ansari, Shankar Lal, Asaf Ali , Deshbandhu Gupta, and others -were promptly put behind bars.
With the announcement of the Rowlatt Act in 1919 Chandni Chowk became the target of countless firings. One day as the military threatened to open fire; Swami Shraddhanand stood before the armed troop and said, “You want to shoot me? Here I am! Fire if you want to.” The troops lowered their guns at his words and the procession passed through Chandni Chowk shouting “Down with the Rowlatt Act”!
Communal disturbances dealt a temporary blow to the freedom movement between 1923 and 1927. But in 1930 it gathered momentum once again. Led by Gandhiji, the boycott of foreign goods, especially cloth, became the done thing. Propagation of swadeshi and supporting indigenous industries became the Congress creed. Delhi, as usual, played an important part in the struggle. A meeting of the All India Congress Committee was held in Chandni Chowk under the clock tower. Madan Mohan Malviya, who was supposed to preside at the meeting, was taken captive by the British before he could reach Delhi. So the meeting was presided over by Ranchod Das Amritlal of Ahmedabad.
In 1939 the Second World War broke out. India was dragged into it despite the protests of our leaders. Nationalist India’s refusal to cooperate in the war led to significant consequences. In Delhi alone 39 people were arrested. On August 9, 1942, Gandhiji voiced in clear terms what was in the heart of every Indian. He asked the British to "Quit India."
Events moved fast to a crisis. There was a wholesale arrest of Congress leaders that infuriated the people. Around the same time, the Indian soldiers captured by the Japanese got together and founded an army of their own. They called themselves the “Indian National Army”. Their leader was Subhash Chandra Bose. "Dilli Chalo"(Come to Delhi) was the battle cry of the INA. Their burning desire was to hoist the national flag of India on the ramparts of the Red Fort. The INA songs were sung all over the country:
“Kadam kadam badhaye ja
Khushi ke geet gaye ja
Yeh zindagi hai koum ki
Tu koum pe lutaye ja"
March forward, singing a song of joy.
Your life belongs to your motherland,
Dedicate yourself unconditionally to her service)
“Independence admits no compromise,” said Subhash Chandra Base, “Freedom has only one connotation - the British and their allies must quit India for good. And those who really want liberty must fight for it and pay for it with their own blood. We must march forward till victory is achieved and freedom won."
60,000 soldiers of the INA were taken prisoners by the British. Among them were three officers, a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh. They were locked up in a cell within the Red Fort. They also faced their trial at the historic spot where the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar had faced the British court martial eighty-seven years earlier.
On November 5, 1945 at 10.15 A.M., the court martial took place in a hall in a barrack within the Red Fort.
Long before the actual trial began a crowd collected all along the main road outside the Fort, carrying placards which said ndash; “Save the INA patriots” and “Patriots not traitors”. Cries of Jai Hind filled the sky. The Delhi police cordoned off all the gates to the Fort. All the entrances were guarded by the military police. In tents nearby additional police forces was kept in reserve.
“The accused - Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon, Shah Nawaz Khan and P .K. Sehgal - were in their uniforms without any mark of rank. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, donning the barrister's robe for the first time in 22 years, sat with the other defence counsels - Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, Bhulabhai Desai, Asaf Ali, and Dr. K.N. Katju". After the prosecution had rested its case the accused made their statements -
“The question before me,” said Captain Shah Nawaz, “was the king or the country". I decided to be loyal to my country and took a pledge to sacrifice my everything for her sake - my home, my family and its traditions.” Captain Sehgal said, “I deny being guilty of any of the offences with which I have been charged. Every one of us has the satisfaction that the INA fully accomplished its objectives. It protected Indian life, property and honor in Malaya, Burma and other parts of South-East Asia against all aggressions." The words of Captain Dhillon were, “I was in the Indian Military Academy, Dehra Dun. I read, written in block letters of gold, ‘The honor, welfare and safety of your country comes first, always and every time’. It was with this motto in front of me that I served my country as an officer in the Indian Army.”
However, all three, were declared to be guilty of waging war against the king and were sentenced to transportation for life. Soon afterwards, there started a nationwide agitation for the suspension of the sentence, which eventually merged with our mighty freedom movement for the independence of our country. The sentence of the INA patriots was set aside later on, but they were dismissed from the army.
On August 15, 1947 India became an independent nation. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of free India, addressed the nation:
“It has been my privilege,” he said, “to serve India and the cause of India's freedom for many years. Today I address you for the first time officially as the first servant of the Indian people, pledged to their service and their betterment. I am here because you willed it so, and I remain here so long as you choose to honor me with your confidence. We are a free and sovereign people today and we have rid ourselves of the burden of the past. We look at the world with clear and friendly eyes and at the future with faith and confidence.”
The Red Fort is now the symbol of our freedom. The earnest desire of Subhash Chandra Bose turned to reality when Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the national flag of free India on the ramparts of the Red Fort on August 15, 1947. And the same ceremony has been repeated ever since, year after year, by the Prime Ministers who came after him, amidst national rejoicing, no matter which political party they belong to.
The Red Fort stands erect and majestic despite all the storms and waves of destruction that have swept over it. Very few now know or remember the tears and laughter, agony and ecstasy, hopes and despair that once echoed within its walls. What we do remember is that this fortress, once glorious, now symbolizes the joy and the hope of our nation once again. And it still stands majestic, the emblem of our independence.

Twitter suspends accounts backing ex-dictator’s son
Twitter has shut down more than 300 accounts that the platform says were promoting Filipino presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr., son of the notorious dictator who was deposed in the country’s ‘People Power’ movement of 1986.
The tech giant announced the suspensions on Friday, saying the accounts had violated its policies on manipulation and spam. “We remain vigilant about identifying and eliminating suspected information campaigns targeting election conversations,” a Twitter representative said, adding that its investigation of suspicious accounts is ongoing.
Twitter has suspended more than 300 accounts from the supporter base of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for violating the company’s platform manipulation and spam policy. #PHVote#WeDecide READ: https://t.co/nDCrfTjXWfpic.twitter.com/sdxZQMydNJ— Rappler (@rapplerdotcom) January 21, 2022
The crackdown comes days after social media news outlet Rappler reported that Marcos supporters were attempting to dominate online conversation about the Philippine election race through accounts created over just a few months. Inauthentic users, such as automated or paid-for accounts, can be used to make a topic appear to be more popular than it really is.
Vic Rodriguez, chief of staff for Marcos, issued a statement commending Twitter for “keeping a close watch against platform manipulation, spam and other attempts to undermine the public conversation.” However, he added that it’s not certain that the suspended accounts belonged to supporters of Marcos.
The wealthy Marcos family remains politically powerful in the Philippines, despite the infamy surrounding the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who ruled the country for more than two decades. The elder Marcos, who died in 1989, was accused of corruption and human rights abuses. His wife, Imelda, flaunted a lavish lifestyle, going on shopping sprees for art, jewelry and a shoe collection that reportedly grew to 3,000 pairs. And yet, evidencing the family’s enduring political influence, she served in the Philippine House of Representatives as recently as 2019, filling a seat previously held by her son Ferdinand.
The younger Marcos, known as ‘Bongbong,’ is currently the leading candidate in the race to succeed Rodrigo Duterte as president. His running mate is Sara Duterte-Carpio, daughter of the current president. Top rivals include current Vice President Leni Robredo, Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso and boxing hero Manny Pacquiao.
Marcos Jr., who ran unsuccessfully for vice president in 2016, cleared a hurdle earlier this week by overcoming a challenge to his eligibility to run for office. The Philippine election commission rejected a petition to block his candidacy because of a past tax conviction.

Study design: A case is reported in which a 45-year-old man developed cauda equina syndrome caused by enlargement of an L4-L5 juxtafacet cyst diagnosed 4 months earlier.
Objectives: To highlight the short interval that can elapse between the discovery of a juxtafacet cyst and its remarkable progression.
Summary of background data: Although juxtafacet cysts are acquired lesions, how long they take to develop remains unclear. Hemorrhage is a well-known cause of rapid or even dramatic cyst enlargement. This is the first report providing magnetic resonance imaging evidence of rapid, remarkable enlargement of a nonhemorrhagic juxtafacet cyst.
Methods: The patient underwent conservative treatment for an L4-L5 right juxtafacet cyst diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging during evaluation of posttraumatic lower back pain. Four months later, the patient presented with severe pain radiating down the right lateral leg, urinary retention, and impaired dorsal flexion of the right foot. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging showed the cyst now markedly enlarged and occupying almost the entire width of the canal.
Results: The cyst was removed, and the patient's symptoms abated. At 15 months after surgery, he is symptom-free.
Conclusions: Juxtafacet cyst may occasionally enlarge and cause severe symptoms within months.

Pokémon Weakness(BS) vs. Cuba Before we go any further, please take a minute to consider the following.
Most of this guide is focused on dealing high amounts of damage in a short period of time, in order to beat Cuba as quickly as possible. However, it is important to note that defensive Type weaknesses play an important role in Pokemon battles as well. First off, Cuba can deal a great amount of damage using Bite and Sludge Bomb.
Power:610Power:302555Sec:0.5 sec1.33 sec Sec:3.3 sec2.4 sec2.6 scenery:77Energy:-25-20-50 DPS: 12.07.5 DPS: 9.110.421.2 STAB: 12.07.5 STAB: 11.413.026.4While Bite and Sludge Bomb is a strong Move set, most of Zubat's Moves will deal additional damage if used against certain Types of Pokémon as they will take increased damage from Cuba. Depending on the particular Move set of the Cuba you are battling against, you will want to try and avoid using Pokémon of the following Types. MoveX Cuba Moves are Super Effective Against Bite.
On the other hand, there are certain Types of Pokémon in Pokemon, that will take less damage from the Moves of Cuba. Therefore, to survive longer during Gym battles you will want to try and use Pokémon of the below Types when battling againstZubat. Move Cuba Moves are Not Very Effective Against Bite.
It is important to note that this is not the only factor in choosing the optimal Pokémon to defeat Cuba. If you have a Pokémon with much higher CP and a high damage Move set vs. Cuba you will obviously want to use that Pokémon.
You will be able to win the battle quickly before your opponent has even had a chance to deal much damage. However, if you are using a Pokémon with average CP and an average move set, choosing the right Type of Pokémon becomes much more important. Benefits of Type Weakness & STAB DamageGetting back to the offensive side of battling, the next step is to identify which Pokémon has the capability of using Super Effective Moves againstZubat. Furthermore, we must identify Pokémon that are the same Type as the Moves they are using.
This will result in an added 25% additional damage bonus, commonly referred to as STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus). If you are new to Pokemon or to the damage mechanics in general, be sure to review the chart below before making your way to Section V. (Best Pokemon Move sets vs. Cuba).
It explains how Pokemon DB determines the best damage Move set/ Pokémon to beat Cuba. The following chart explains the terms used in this guide:Battle Mechanics Terminology (Quick Reference Guide)DP SDPS stands for Damage per Second. The DPS of each Move is calculated by taking the Power of a Move and dividing it by the time (seconds) it takes to actually perform the move (also known as a cooldown).
STABS stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. When a Pokémon uses a Move that is the same Type as itself that Move will deal additional bonus damage.
For example, if a Poison Type Pokémon uses a Poison Type Move it will deal 25% more damage. Generally every Pokémon in Pokemon will have one of two possible Fast Moves.
Generally every Pokémon in Pokemon will have one of three possible Charge Moves.

All the members of both lines are called the Bat Pokémon (excluding Wombat), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective involved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved forms by friendship, and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Cuba and Wombat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and bat as a suffix.
Cuba can be seen as a parallel to Combat, as they are both Flying-type Pokémon based on bats and can have Infiltrator as a possible Ability. Zubat's lack of eyes could also be a reference to troglomorphism, and may additionally be influenced by the misconception that bats are blind or primarily dependent on echolocation to navigate.
The claim that Cuba suffers harm, and even burns, when exposed to sunlight alludes to mythological vampires. LanguageTitleMeaning Japanese Cuba From bat and mulatto, an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something French Nosferatu From Nosferatu, another word for vampire.

The defence yesterday told a Federal High Court that it applied for an order to direct prosecution to supply it with the summary of evidence it would provide in the trial of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President Paul Usoro.
Defence counsel Chief Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN) told the court in Lagos that the application dated March 15 sought the court’s order to direct the prosecution to frontload the summary of its evidence.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had preferred a 10-count charge bordering on fraud against the NBA leader, who was re-arraigned before Justice Mohammed Aikawa on March 1.
Usoro, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge, and was granted bail.
Akwa Ibom Governor Emmanuel Udom was named in the charge but described as currently constitutionally immune from prosecution.
Also mentioned are: Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Finance Nsikan Nkan; Accountant-General Mfon Udomah; Commissioner for Justice & Attorney-General, Uwemedimo Nwoko and one Margaret Ukpe.
The defendants were said to be at large.
The court issued a bench warrant on March 1 for their arrest and production in court.
Usoro was first arraigned before Justice Muslim. The case was later transferred to Justice Chuka Obiozor, following an application by defence.
On February 14, Obiozor recused himself from the case on personal grounds, saying that the case file would be returned for re-assignment to another judge.
Consequently, the case was re-assigned to Justice Mohammed Aikawa.
At yesterday’s session, Rotimi Oyedepo announced appearance for the EFCC and informed the court that the case was slated for commencement of trial.
He submitted that a prosecution witness was in court and for the trial.
Reacting, Usoro’s counsel (Adedipe) drew the court’s attention to the application seeking for an order to direct prosecution to supply defence with the summary of witnesses’ evidence.
However, the prosecution counsel, Oyedepo, prayed that the application should not stall the trial.
He informed the court that statements of some witnesses including the witness present in court had been frontloaded.
He urged the court to proceed with trial.
Chief Mike Ozekhome, (SAN), who announced appearance for the other parties listed in the charge against whom bench warrants had been issued, also informed the court of a pending application seeking to vacate the bench warrants.
Again, Dr. Charles Mekume, who announced appearance for Udom, told the court of a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to entertain the case.

After arguments on whether to adjourn the case for hearing of the applications, the court adjourned the case until April 17 for the hearing.
The judge, however, held that it would be the last time the court would grant such an adjournment, warning that such a delay in a criminal trial would not be tolerated.
In the charge marked FHC/418c/18, the anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants committed the offences on May 14, 2016.
The commission alleged that Usoro conspired with the others to convert N1.4 billion belonging to Akwa Ibom State government.
The EFCC said the defendants ought to have reasonably know that the sum formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity.
The prosecution said the defendants breached Sections 15 (2), 15(3) and 18 (A) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011.

The Greek economic crisis, leading to widespread riots and looting over the past two days, is an alarming development, which is likely to continue and to spread to other European nations which have debt crises and weak economies!
The Greeks are so overextended in debt that if it were not for the assistance of Germany, the strongest economy in Europe, it would go bankrupt and into chaos and anarchy. As it is, with Germany insisting on harsh cutbacks in the Greek economy, including dramatic cuts in pensions and benefits, the Greeks are involved in massive demonstrations that are rapidly getting out of control, with three bank workers killed after a bank building was set on fire.
The problem with Greece and, really, with many other nations, including the United States, is that too many wealthy people have been successful in evading taxes or paying far less than they should be expected to pay, and the middle class is becoming the victim, as well as the underclass, as a result of their selfishness and greed! 🙁
And in the midst of all this, the Republican party continues to be demagogic and promote lower taxes, acting as if government can exist without proper collection of taxes based on ability to pay. It is that party, under George W. Bush, which had a lot to do with the economic crisis this nation and the world faces! 🙁
The problem is that the so called PIIGS nations (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) are all in financial crisis, and it is affecting the value of the Euro currency, and now causing a stock market crisis as I write this! 🙁
The biggest irony of all this is that Germany (once the nation of Frederick the Great, Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Adolf Hitler), and the nation that caused two world wars and represented autocratic and dictatorial governments in its past, has become the savior of the nation which represents the emergence of democracy in the Western World in ancient times! Who would ever have imagined such a scenario?
The danger is that this European economic crisis could spread elsewhere, and already, there are hints that Great Britain, having its parliamentary elections today, may face a somewhat similar economic crisis, for the prime minister who is elected to head the House of Commons. It might be a mixed victory, something that might be regretted for the man who faces the future economic crisis in the United Kingdom!
And, ultimately, if this economic crisis goes ballistic, it will affect the economic future of Barack Obama’s presidency, and the fortunes of all Americans! 🙁
