CBI chief Ranjit Sinha pulls up officer who recommended questioning of Manmohan Singh
"The officer (Chaurasia) has been asked to explain on what basis he had recommend the questioning of the PM when the CBI was still to get vital files on the coal allocation scam from the government," a senior CBI official told ET on the condition of anonymity considering the sensitivity of the matter.
The official said Sinha had ordered an inquiry into how the internal communication of the CBI that contained several recommendations, including the one to examine the PM, had been 'leaked' to the media after the CBI director turned down the recommendation from Chaurasia on the ground that the PM's questioning was "not required at this stage".
The Supreme Court is monitoring the case and has ordered that no CBI officer in the 33-member coal probe team can be shifted out or transferred without the court's permission.
An official CBI spokesperson, when contacted, offered no comment on any of these matters. A senior CBI official also confirmed CBI's requests to examine present Chief Election Commissioner VS Sampath and Election Commissioner HS Brahma, both of whom were power secretaries in 2008 and 2009, had been turned down by the government since both were now holding "constitutional posts".
When asked when Congress leaders like Naveen Jindal and ex-MoS for Coal, DN Rao — named as accused in the CBI's FIR nearly two months ago — will be questioned, the official said: "Wait a few days." ET was the first to report on August 17 that CBI would be summoning Jindal and Rao after the monsoon session of Parliament gets over on September 7. TKA Nair, currently serving as an advisor to the PM, was the PM's principal secretary from 2004 to 2011.


The ADCC presented its 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award in memory of the late William E. Fowler, Jr., of Fort Lauderdale and Medford, MA, who sadly passed away in September 2017.
The award was presented to Mr. Fowler’s husband, Robert Planutis, during the Industry Excellence Awards Gala at the ADCC Annual Meeting, September 25-28, 2018 at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans.
William Fowler (known to many as “Uncle Bill”) was owner and artistic director of Fowler Dance Studios, as well as a pioneer in the dance community, a dancer, choreographer, internationally recognized adjudicator and author, and an advocate for dancers worldwide.
In his youth, Bill Fowler and his brother Danny performed as the “Fowler Brothers” in nightclubs and theaters throughout New England. He founded the Fowler Dance Studios in his hometown of Medford, Massachusetts and taught there for 42 years. Many of his students went on to become professional dancers, teachers, and choreographers.
Bill was also an adjudicator for numerous organizations in North America, including American Dance Awards, Dance Educators of America, and (ADCC Platinum Member) Headliners Dance Competition, and was the creator of many Special Judge’s Awards presented today.
Bill Fowler held many important positions in the U.S. competitive dance world, including Performing Arts Director of the National Dance Council of America, President of the United States Dance Sport Competition Federation, and President of the North American Dance Championships.
Internationally, Bill was instrumental in completely reshaping the International Dance Organization (IDO), the foremost organization in world dance competition. Since 1998 he served as IDO’s Senior Vice President, President, and was most recently Honorary Lifetime President, in addition to other positions with the organization. He judged and/or chaired for almost every competitive dance organization in many countries across the globe—Germany, Russia, China, Colombia, Canada, and South Africa, to name only a few.
As an author, Bill was a contributor to Dance Studio Life, Dance Teacher Now, and Dance Teacher Trends, and he published the only known book on competitive dance judging, The Judge’s Handbook: An Inside Look at Judging Performing Arts Competitions.
In choosing William Fowler as the 2018 Lifetime Achievement honoree, The ADCC Board recognizes an individual whose passion and dedication to the dance community served an inspiration to thousands of dancers for many years, and will continue to inspire for generations to come.
At its Annual Meeting & Industry Awards Gala in Las Vegas in 2017, The ADCC was delighted to name Debbi Dee as the third annual recipient of The ADCC Lifetime Achievement Award.
Debbi Dee is a nationally renowned tap dancer, choreographer and dance teacher. A protégée of Broadway choreographer Henry LeTang, she began her career working alongside him, and with some of the biggest names in show business. She has performed professionally as a soloist on national tours, nightclubs and Off Broadway, at Lincoln Center and Las Vegas, with The Count Basie Orchestra and Lawrence Welk Orchestra, and on numerous television shows.
Debbi has maintained successful faculty positions with two of the most prestigious Broadway Studios, Henry LeTang Studios and Broadway Dance Center, where she continues to be a guest faculty member. She has also held guest positions at OCU (Oklahoma City University), and the University of Buffalo, as well as numerous performing arts schools.
I have spent much of my professional teaching career on convention and competition platforms, so receiving a lifetime achievement award from The ADCC is an honor that I will cherish. — DEBBI DEE
Debbi continues to teach at private studios, giving master classes as well as private choreography instruction. She currently works on Convention Platforms, teaching teachers as well as students for many major dance organizations, including Dance Olympus, Dance Masters of America, Florida Dance Masters, Dance Educators of America, Dance Teacher Summit, Dance Makers and many more. Her “Debbi Dee Tap Intensive” is recognized by Dance Teacher as a higher education course for teachers, and she is internationally recognized as a master teacher in Japan, France, South America and Canada.
Debbi Dee and I have been on tour together, so I have known her for many years and have shared both the stage and the studio with her. She is a great performer. She speaks to the audience through her tap shoes with dynamic clarity and she holds an audience with the same charisma that she brings to her tap classes. I commend her as one of America’s outstanding tap artists and teachers. — JO ROWAN, DANCE DEPARTMENT CHAIR, ANN LACEY SCHOOL OF AMERICAN DANCE AND ENTERTAINMENT, OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY
At its Annual Meeting & Gala in Las Vegas in 2016, The ADCC was thrilled to name Jo Rowan as the second annual recipient of The ADCC Lifetime Achievement Award.
A nationally renowned ballet dancer, choreographer and dance teacher, Jo Rowan is Professor of Dance and Chairman of the Dance Department at the Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment, Oklahoma City University.
She has had a long and distinguished career, appearing in ballets, musicals, and on television, and touring the world with The American Spirit Dance Company, of which she is founder and director.
Jo Rowan is a frequent lecturer on the history of ballet and American dance and has written and narrated “American Dance Styles” and “Seventy Years of American Dance” for television. She has served as spokesperson for National Dance Week Education, and was honored by Dance Teacher magazine as National Teacher of the Year in Higher Education, among many other honors and awards.
In choosing this year’s Lifetime Achievement honoree, The ADCC Board recognizes Jo Rowan’s vast experience, her commitment to excellence, and her lasting influence on the field of dance.
Having been taught by Jo Rowan is an experience that no dance student can ever forget. What sets Jo aside from all the rest is her unique perspective on what it really means to be a dancer. She draws on her vast knowledge of dance and her own life experience and shares it all with her students, propelling each dancer from the studio… to the stage… to life. — DREW VAMOSI, LEAP! NATIONAL DANCE COMPETITION
Art & Nancy Stone were named in 2015 as The ADCC’s first-ever Lifetime Achievement honorees. Art and Nancy are both internationally recognized as dance teachers, business leaders and dance industry professionals.
Early in his career, Art Stone began teaching for organizations such as Dance Caravan, Dance Educators of America (DEA), Dance Masters of America (DMA), and the National Associate of Dance & Affiliated Artists (NADAA), and was soon recognized as a leading choreographer at dance conventions. In 1960, he founded Art Stone/The Competitor® to produce costumes and built Art Stone Theatrical into the nation’s premier theatrical and dance costume company. In 1976, Art joined his father Jules Stone in launching Dance Olympus, a dance education workshop, and the DanceAmerica competition in 1983—setting new standards for the industry. Art served as President of both trend-setting companies until his retirement. Art is past President of the United Dance Merchants of America (UDMA) and has received numerous awards including the Presidential Award from Dance Masters of America.
Nancy Robison Stone opened a dance studio in Jackson, Georgia, a small rural town in 1961. Nancy and Art married in 1977, seventeen years after their first meeting. Nancy maintained her dance school in Georgia, but also became Vice President of Art Stone Theatrical, where she was technical director of the costume catalogs, and Vice President of Dance Olympus/DanceAmerica. Now retired as well, Nancy serves on the advisory board of Dancers Responding to AIDS and Dance Teacher, is chairman of the board of the National Dance Week Foundation, and has served on the board of United Dance Merchants Of America.
“Arthur and I would like to thank you and the membership of ADCC for the wonderful honor of being chosen as the first Lifetime Achievement Award winners. You made our year!!” NANCY STONE
Together, Art and Nancy were recipients of the prestigious Preservation of Our Heritage Award in American Dance from Oklahoma City University’s American Dance and Arts Management School.

The Russian army is using “mobile crematoriums” to dispose of the corpses of its dead soldiers amid Moscow’s mounting losses in the war, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
In a Telegram post on Thursday, Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Hanna Malyar said at least five mobile crematoriums are following behind the Russian army’s frontline positions.
“According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR of the Ministry of Defense): given the catastrophic situation that has developed, the enemy is actively using mobile crematoriums,” she wrote. “In particular, in the rear of the advanced positions of the occupiers, the constant movement of about five such crematoria is noted.”
Malyar further noted that the Russian army does not identify or account for the bodies of dead comrades burned in the crematorium as part of an effort to hide Moscow’s death toll in the war in Ukraine. Additionally, the families of the soldiers who were killed in combat are being deprived of the compensation they were promised upon conscription.
“Cremations take place without any identification and accounting of the bodies of the dead occupants. In this way, the Russian command hides the huge losses of personnel and continues to apply the traditional Russian practice of depriving the families of the dead of the benefits and compensation advertised by Russian propaganda,” Malyar added.
This is not the first time the Russian army has been reported to use mobile crematoriums to burn their dead. In February 2022, the British Ministry of Defense released footage of trucks that can “evaporate” dead soldiers, suggesting that the Kremlin might deploy them in the war to hide their losses, as reported by the Telegraph.
In April of last year, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko accused Russian soldiers of driving around the city with crematoriums to burn the bodies of Ukrainian civilians and cover up alleged war crimes.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Since then, Moscow has lost a total of 123,860 military personnel, including 780 killed over the past day, according to estimates from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

With most investors and traders connected to some computer practically every moment of the day, the major financial news services have been rolling out a number of services that boast of “real-time news” the past few months. There’s been a succession of CNBC (NYSE: GE) products and a few from Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI). Dow Jones (NSDQ: NWS) Newswires and The WSJ are readying a news product in the coming months that is aimed at foreign exchange market traders.
The offering, dubbed the DJ FX Trader, will offer breaking news and analysis, tapping the work of DJ’s 2,100 journalists in 90 bureaus; a team of 100 journalists dedicated specifically to covering news vital to FX markets.
If this all sounds a bit dry, the ever-quotable Robert Thomson, editor-in-chief of Dow Jones and the WSJ’s managing editor, explains it with typical modesty: “The House of Medici made money from foreign exchange – in our age, it will be Dow Jones,” he said in a statement.
Whether or not Dow Jones reaches that plateau, the new service will, at the very least, represents another step in the redefinition of real-time news at time of near-instant access to targeted information. The announcement comes as parent News Corp. is planning to unveil its more consumer-oriented “iPad newspaper” The Daily this week.

MANILA, Philippines – Jenna Ortega has been the talk of the town since the premiere of Netflix series Wednesday, where she stars as the titular sardonic eldest daughter of the Addams family.
One scene from the fourth episode has become particularly memorable – one where Wednesday steals the show at the school dance when she brings her eccentric moves to the dance floor to the tune of The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck.”
The scene was truly viral – in more ways than one. In an interview with NME, she said that the scene was filmed on the same day that she had woken up with COVID-19 symptoms.
“Yeah, I woke up and it’s weird, I never get sick and when I do it’s not very bad – I had the body aches. I felt like I’d been hit by a car and that a little goblin had let loose in my throat and was scratching the walls of my esophagus,” she said.
She added that the crew was giving her medicine between takes while they waited for her test results.
Production company MGM said that “strict COVID protocols were followed” and that Jenna was removed from the set once she was confirmed positive.
However, the decision to keep filming despite Jenna having COVID symptoms was also met with backlash.
“Jenna Ortega filming a whole scene while waiting for COVID test results AND with obvious symptoms isn’t ‘professional,’ it’s just completely irresponsible,” said Twitter user @cancion_il.
“Jenna Ortega having COVID on set and working unmasked around other unmasked performers is not a flex. She should not be praised for ‘working while sick.’ The above the line crew could’ve possibly disabled or killed someone for their irresponsibility,” said Twitter user @hereisviolet.
At any rate, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), those showing symptoms of COVID-19 must isolate immediately, get tested, and stay home until they get the result of their test.
Wednesday premiered on Netflix on November 23. – Rappler.com

Active Bicyclers’ Association to encourage apartment owners to set up biogas plants that run on waste
The Active Bicyclers’ Association has chalked out a project for effective use of garbage generated in the city. On a pilot basis, the project will be implemented at Currency Nagar from February.
Association founder and general secretary V. Satyanarayana said the garbage would be segregated at source. Apartments owners would be encouraged to take up biogas plants that run on waste. The bio-waste would be utilised to manufacture manure in the open places located in that locality if no apartment was willing to take up the biogas plants, he said, adding similar exercise was being carried out in neighbouring towns such as Tenali successfully.
The dry waste would be sold to the recycling units. And the revenue thus generated would be used to pay the salaries of workers involved in the collection of the garbage, he said.
Five pushcarts and dustbins were required to implement the project. It was estimated that Rs.50,000 was required to go ahead with the proposal, and the association would seek the help of philanthropists.
The local elders decided to launch the project by contributing Rs. 1,000 each if no philanthropist came forward, he said.
An awareness meet in this regard was organised a couple of weeks ago with the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation officials. However, there was no initiative in that direction.
The segregation of waste at source would reduce the burden on transportation cost. Corporation officials, however, were inclined to transport all the garbage.

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of plasmapheresis plus low-dose intravenous immunoglobulin in highly sensitized patients waiting for a deceased-donor renal transplant. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five highly sensitized patients (HLA class I panel reactive antibody > 50%) received plasmapheresis, plus low-dose intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. In 25 patients (group 1), a positive T- and/or B-cell cytotoxicity crossmatch was rendered negative by plasmapheresis, plus low-dose intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. Two patients did not receive renal transplants owing to persistent positive crossmatch. Eight patients already had a negative crossmatch before desensitization. During the same time, 32 highly sensitized patients (group 2), without desensitization, had a negative crossmatch and received deceased-donor renal transplants. Results: Group 1 showed a numerically higher rate of acute rejection (32.0% vs 21.9%; P =.6) and antibody-mediated rejection (20.0% vs 9.4%; P =.3), but the difference was not statistically significant. Four of 5 cases of antibody-mediated rejection in group 1 had a peak donor specific antibody titer ≥ 1:8. Comparable mean serum creatinine levels at 24 months were observed (group 1: 130 ± 38 μmol/L vs group 2: 123 ± 41 μmol/L; P =.5). No difference in Kaplan-Meier graft survival was found between group 1 and group 2 after follow-up of 52 ± 26 months (P =.7). Conclusions: Desensitization with plasmapheresis, plus low-dose intravenous immunoglobulin enables successful deceased-donor renal transplant in highly sensitized patients with a positive crossmatch. Antibody-mediated rejection occurred predominantly in recipients with donor-specific antibodies of high titers.

What to eat for each stage of your fertility journey
Knowing what to eat and when may seem a little daunting when on a fertility journey. Nutritionist Sophie Lester (RNutr) has everything you need to know.
It is good for men and women to know that you do not need to follow any special diet whilst on a fertility journey.
For the best chance at conceiving, experts recommend a healthy, well-balanced diet, but there are a few extra things to consider. Read on to find out more.
Aim for a balanced and varied diet.
To increase your chances of conceiving and support a healthy pregnancy, experts recommend you eat a balanced and varied diet that is rich in fruit and vegetables. You can find out more about the basis of a healthy diet here.
A fad or crash diet during your fertility journey should be avoided because it can increase the risk of missing essential nutrients which keep you and your reproductive fertility optimal. If pregnancy does occur, nutrient deficiencies can harm the baby’s development, so experts recommend that you stick to a varied and nutrient-rich diet, which follow healthy eating guidelines.
A well-balanced diet during your fertility journey could also help maintain a healthy weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). Both a low BMI (underweight) and a high BMI (overweight) are strongly linked to infertility in both men and women and the chances of carrying a healthy baby full term. Also, experts do not regularly recommend weight loss during pregnancy. This means that the time you are trying to conceive is the best time to start thinking about getting your BMI into the ideal range (between 18.5 and 24.9).
You can read how to measure your BMI here.
Do I need to eat more during pregnancy?
The common phrase that you’re ‘eating for two’ is a misconception. Only in the third trimester do you need extra calories – and only around 200 kcal more (about the same amount of calories in two bananas - or four biscuits). Though women underweight at the start of pregnancy, or those who maintain or increase their activity levels, may need more calories during pregnancy.
Weight gain during pregnancy is very individual, so there are currently no UK recommendations on how much weight you should gain. If you are concerned you are not gaining enough weight during pregnancy or gaining too much, it is recommended you speak to your doctor, dietitian or maternity team, who will be able to support or reassure you.
Important nutrients to find in foods for fertility and pregnancy:
You can find Omega-3 fats in oily fish and plant sources such as linseed, walnuts and chia seeds. In men, experts link the consumption of enough omega-3 through foods to better sperm quality . Your requirements for omega-3 fats increase in pregnancy and lactation because the baby needs it for healthy eye and brain development . Recommendations state that we eat two portions of oily fish a week. If you are pregnant, experts recommend you have no more than this because it can contain small amounts of chemicals which are harmful in excess. You should also avoid some supplements, such as cod liver oil (read more in final section).
Iodine is essential for fertility because it maintains normal reproductive function. If pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy, your iodine requirements increase because it helps with a baby's growth . The UK’s National Diet & Nutrition Survey (NDNS) found that women of childbearing age in the UK (16-49 years old) had average iodine levels more than 30% lower than the levels needed in pregnancy and lactation [9, 10, 14]. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy is associated with poor cognitive development in the child [9, 10]. Good food sources of iodine include fish, milk, cheese and eggs. Plant sources of iodine are highly variable, so vegans may want to look for fortified plant milk. Iodine supplements can be dangerous, so you should only take them under a doctor or dietician's advice and contain no more than 140 ug/day .
Folate is a form of 'folic acid' that occurs naturally in foods. Enough of this mineral is essential for healthy red blood cell and healthy nerve development in a growing baby . Women who are planning to become pregnant, or are in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, are currently recommended to eat foods rich in folate. They should also take a daily supplement of 400 ug of folic acid (see supplementation section below).
Here are some common food sources of folate in the UK diet:
|Folate per portion (ug)
|85g Broccoli (steamed)
|90g Spinach (boiled)
|135g Baked beans
|100g Chicken (roast)
|150ml Orange juice
|30g Fortified cereal (Cornflakes, Tesco)
Vitamin B12 is essential for making red blood cells and keeping the nervous system healthy. Experts link deficiencies of vitamin B12 to infertility . You can only find vitamin B12 in animal products. Those who follow a vegan diet should eat foods fortified with vitamin B12 at least twice a day, such as fortified plant-based milk. The British Dietetic Association (BDA) recommends for those who do not think they are meeting their needs from foods consider taking a daily 10 ug supplement of Vitamin B12 . You should always talk to your doctor or consult a dietitian before taking new supplements.
Nutritional supplements for fertility and pregnancy
Some nutrients are difficult to get enough of in a varied and balanced diet.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is essential for growing and maintaining healthy bones. In general, food does not supply us with enough vitamin D to meet our needs, and we must obtain Vitamin D through sunlight. In wintertime, the sunlight we receive is poor, so experts recommend that everyone take a daily vitamin D supplement (10ug or 400 IU). This is especially important for women in pregnancy to ensure the development of healthy bones in your baby. Some women at higher risk may need to take vitamin D all year round, and some may need to take a slightly higher supplement (25 ug or 1000 IU) . This includes women with darker skin tone, those who work indoors, and those who often cover their skin . Folic acid: Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant need folic acid for a healthy brain, nerves and spinal cord in a growing foetus. The link between folic acid supplementation and a lower risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) is well known. NTDs affect 1 in 1,000 pregnancies every year .
The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) revealed that 75% of women between 16 and 49 years in the UK have blood folate levels below the World Health Organisation cut-off for preventing NTDs .
Women who stop taking contraception and are sexually active, or trying for a baby, should take a folic acid supplement at a dose of 400ug/day. Women who become pregnant should continue to supplement 400ug/day of folic acid for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. These women should also eat foods rich in folate (the natural form of folic acid in foods), such as green leafy vegetables (see food sources above). Some women may need a higher dose of folic acid (5mg) which you can buy on prescription. This is true if they have diabetes, obesity or coeliac disease and/or a history of NTU or are at higher risk of having babies with neural tube defects . If you think this occurs to you, you should speak with your doctor, who will be able to assess your needs for a higher dosage. It is known that only a third of women take supplements before pregnancy, with the lowest uptakes in Afro-Caribbean women (17%) and those aged under 20 (6%) . Many countries worldwide have introduced mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid, and the UK is currently debating whether they should do the same [1,2].
What about other supplements?
If you take any other supplements during pregnancy, such as a multivitamin, be sure to check that they don’t contain vitamin A. Some vitamin A (such as the small amount you get from foods) is essential for a healthy baby - but too much vitamin A is teratogenic (it can cause birth defects). Experts currently recommend you avoid supplements containing vitamin A in preconception and pregnancy .
Women who are vegan, and are concerned about their nutrient intake, may want to speak to a doctor or dietitian about additional supplements, such as vitamin B12, iodine, and omega-3 . If you are thinking about taking new supplements, especially if you are pregnant, it is strongly advised you speak to your doctor beforehand. It is safer to find food sources of nutrients if you can because you are less likely to take too much.
Food safety in preconception and pregnancy
Both men and women should learn about the foods to avoid in preconception and pregnancy to avoid any risk to the mother and baby. Caffeine – Experts in the UK recommend that daily caffeine intake is limited to 200mg a day in pregnancy. This is equivalent to around two mugs of instant coffee or three cups of tea. But be aware that certain fizzy drinks such as cola and chocolate contain caffeine too – women should consume no more than five cans of cola and four bars of chocolate .
Alcohol – One large study has found that alcohol consumption is a risk factor for low semen volume in men . It is known that alcohol can harm a developing foetus during pregnancy; this is especially true in early pregnancy. So, alcohol is best avoided completely preconceptually, both in both men and women, as well as during pregnancy.
Liver and liver products – Women who are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant should avoid these foods. These foods contain high vitamin A levels, which can be teratogenic (it can cause disabilities in the baby). Also, women should avoid supplements containing vitamin A or retinol (some multivitamins).
Raw meat and fish can contain bacteria that may harm women or the developing fetus, so ensure you cook all meat, fish, and poultry well, before serving.
Some cheeses – Soft cheeses such as brie and camembert, blue-vein cheese such as danish blue, unpasteurised milk and cheeses, can be harmful and best avoided in pregnancy.
Some types of fish – swordfish, marlin and shark contain high amounts of heavy metals such as mercury which can be harmful in excess. Limit oily fish to two times a week .

Well, in 2018, the USDA put new regulations in the Farm Bill that further defined hemp as an agricultural crop. One of the most important regulations was the change in definition of allowable total-THC (delta9-THC + THCa x.877) in hemp flower and hemp products to 0.3% (+/- MU) total-THC. Each state with a hemp program was to have a compliance plan submitted by October of 2020, but the pandemic forced the USDA to extend that deadline to 2021. In the meantime, the USDA's IFRs (interim final rules) were modified slightly to include longer pre-harvest testing windows, extension of DEA certified lab requirements to 2022 and destruction/remediation requirements for non-compliance. What did not change was the 0.3% (+/- MU) total-THC requirement.
We forgot to go over that, didn't we? (+/- MU) means +/- measured uncertainty and it is a provision that accounts for the natural variability that can occur between multiple labs. It's also the reason why you'll see flower on our site that contains 0.34% total-THC.

Atari, Inc. (2600)
|Composer(s)||Kenji Yoshida (Famicom)|
|Platform(s)||Arcade, Arcadia 2001, Atari 2600, Famicom, X68000|
|Mode(s)||Up to 2 players, alternating turns|
|Arcade system||Crazy Climber|
Crazy Climber (クレイジークライマー, Kureijī Kuraimā) is a vertically scrolling video game produced by Nichibutsu (Nihon Bussan) and released in arcades in 1980. In North America, the game was also released by Taito America. Ports for the Arcadia 2001 and Atari 2600 were published in 1982, followed by the Famicom in 1986 and X68000 in 1993.
With the goal of scaling a series of skyscrapers using two joysticks (one controlling the left side of the character's body, the other the right) Crazy Climber was the first in a "climbing games" genre which includes Nintendo's 1981 Donkey Kong. The genre eventually became better known as platform games and is defined by jumping and traversal between platforms, neither of which are found in Crazy Climber.
Crazy Climber was the third highest-earning arcade game of 1980 in Japan while also being a commercial success in North America. A lesser-known sequel, Crazy Climber 2, was released for arcades in 1988.
The player assumes the role of a climber attempting to reach the top of four skyscrapers. The climber is controlled via two joysticks.
- Windows that open and close.
- Residents who throw objects such as flower pots, buckets of water and fruit in an effort to knock the climber off the building.
- A condor, who drops eggs and excrement aimed at the climber.
- A giant ape whose punch can prove deadly.
- Falling steel girders and iron dumbbells.
- Live wires which protrude off electric Nichibutsu signs.
- Falling Crazy Climber signs.
Some of these dangers appear at every level of the game; others make appearances only in later stages. Should the climber succumb to any one of these dangers, a new climber takes his place at the exact point where he fell; the last major danger is eliminated.
One ally the climber has is a pink "Lucky Balloon"; if he is able to grab it, the climber is transported up 8 stories to a window. The window onto which it drops the climber may be about to close. If the window that the climber is dropped onto is fully closed, the balloon pauses there until the window opens up again. The player does not actually earn bonus points for catching the balloon, but he is awarded the normal 'step value' for each of the eight floors that he passes while holding the balloon.
If the climber is able to ascend to the top of a skyscraper and grabs the runner of a waiting helicopter, he earns a bonus and is transported to another skyscraper, which presents more dangers than the past. The helicopter only waits about 30 seconds before flying off.
If the player completes all four skyscrapers, he is taken back to the first skyscraper and the game restarts from the beginning, but the player keeps his score.
The difficulty level of any game was modified to take into account the skill of previous players. Hence if a player pushed the high score up to 250,000 any novice player following would get thoroughly wiped out for several games, due to the increased difficulty level, and have to play until it dropped back down.
If the climber is not moved for several seconds, a voice says "Go for it!"
The Family Computer version had a special controller that could be used with it.
- In 1981, Bandai Electronics manufactured a hand-held VFD version of the game.
- A 3D Board Game was released by Bandai in 1981, exclusively in Japan.
- Spider-Man (1982) for the Atari 2600 was similar to Crazy Cimber, a variation on its gameplay format with added web shooting and swinging abilities.
- A 1985 sequel titled Crazy Climber '85 was produced, but put into storage by Nichibutsu in favor of Terra Cresta. This unreleased sequel was eventually included in on the PlayStation version of Nichibutsu Arcade Classics.
- A Japanese-only sequel, Crazy Climber 2, was produced in 1988. The game was essentially identical to Crazy Climber in gameplay but featured more sophisticated graphics and a few new features.
- On February 3, 1996, Hyper Crazy Climber was released only in Japan for the PlayStation. It has similar gameplay to that of the original game but also a few differences. Players can choose between three cartooney characters, each with their own strength/speed attributes. Several buildings can be selected from a Bomberman-style map screen, including an underwater building, a medieval clock tower, a haunted skyscraper, and a beanstalk. Power-ups are also used. It was also released for Windows on November 30 the same year.
- On March 2, 2000, Crazy Climber 2000 was released for the PlayStation. This is more of a remake of the original arcade game using 3D graphics for the first time. A notable feature is the ability to turn corners and access different sides of the buildings, which now have a variety of designs (including one with a cylindrical, tower-like shape). The game included the original port of the arcade Crazy Climber and a scan of the instruction panel. Like Hyper Crazy Climber which released for the same console 4 years earlier, Crazy Climber 2000 was released only in Japan.
- Japanese publisher HAMSTER released the arcade version of Crazy Climber under their Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono (オレたちゲーセン族) classic game line for the PlayStation 2 on July 21, 2005.
- Crazy Climber Wii was released for the Wii in Japan on December 20, 2007.
- The arcade game was released on the Virtual Console in Japan on February 23, 2010.
- The game was released for the Nintendo Switch by HAMSTER under their Arcade Archives series in February 2018. It had been previously released on May 15, 2014, for the PlayStation 4 as the very first entry in the series.

Jane Lynch Talks Coming Out With Ellen Degeneres
Glee star and newly-minted Emmy winner Jane Lynch bonds with Ellen Degeneres on her talk show today, opening up about coming out and gifting Ellen with a Glee-inspired tracksuit!
Jane, who wed psychologist Lara Embry in June, says she never hid her sexuality once she became a working actress:
I was more closeted in my life when I was younger. By the time I started to do work where people knew who I was. I just never made the choice to hide that I was gay. You know by the time you get to be our age Ellen there are no big deals anymore. I used to lay in bed and go, how will I come out or will I come out?
Jane also said that she has Ellen to thank for her ability to be out, proud and wildly successful, telling the host that she “blazed a trail” and “made it so much easier” for her. But Jane notes that her sexuality probably would have hurt her career more if she wasn’t a “character actress.”
If Julia Roberts we’re gay I think it would be harder. She’s an ingénue. You want to project your hopes and dreams for love..like Brad Pitt.
As a thank-you gift on her very first appearance on Ellen, future SNL host Jane gave her fellow funny lady her very own Sue Sylvester-style tracksuit (see above.)
Are you cheering or jeering Jane Lynch? Let us know in the comments.

Afak Khan | Correspondent |Entertainment Desk
The first look of the beautiful music video “Teri Bewafai” sung by Indian Idol winner Salman Ali and picturized on him was launched in a grand manner in Mumbai. The song will release on the official channel of Dips Melodies on October 7. Salman Ali will be seen with Matina Rajput and Mujassim Khan in this music video directed by Israr Ahmed. Salman Ali himself came to launch the poster of this song, he is very excited and happy about this song.
Dips Melodies Presents in Association with Screenshot Digital Music Album “Teri Bewafai” is shot in the beautiful valleys of Kashmir. The music of this song is given by Afzal Ahmed while the lyricist is Amina Israr. Video director Israr Ahmed, DOP Arslan Manzoor, Choreographer Pappu Khanna. Teri Bewafai Song is produced by Faiz Ahmed and Rajesh Garg.
When Salman Ali sang two lines of the song here, everyone said wah wah. He said that I am a singer but Israr bhai got me to act as well. Singing is in my blood, Dada ji, I have learned it from Walid Saheb, but in the name of acting, I lose sweat. But this song is very cute, hope people will like it. When I work with Israr bhai, I feel like I am working with my family. He handles me so lovingly.
Director Israr Ahmed said that the experience of shooting in Kashmir was memorable. There are very nice and cooperative people there. Salman did a shot of crying in this song without taking glycerin, which has to be accepted. I had planned the song only after thinking of Salman. I have 4 more songs ready with Salman.
Singer Salman Ali’s look is looking very attractive in the poster of the song. At the same time, Matina Rajput is looking very beautiful, while Mujassim Khan has also registered her presence. Director Israr Ahmed says that Salman Ali has sung the song Teri Bewafai with a lot of heart and soul. He also did a wonderful performance in this heartbreak song. The song is releasing on 7th of next month from Dips Melodies. We hope that the audience will definitely like it. Fame Media is performing the responsibility of PR.

Take out juice of Mint Leaves (Pudina Leaves) – 1 tablespoon
Take out juice of Ginger (Adrak) – 1 tablespoon
Take out juice of Coriander (Dhaniya) – 1 tablespoon
Mix all these 4 ingredients together and do not add anything else (like salt etc.).
In this juice the most important ingredient is the Bottle Gourd (Lauki). This vegetable is like nectar for heart patients. You can also grow Bottle Gourd (lauki) in your home in a flower pot or in your garden it takes very little space.
You can also put all these ingredients in a mixer and grind them together and take out their juice.
Choose Best quality Bottle Gourd (Lauki):
There are two types of Bottle gourd one is a tall one and one is round one. We have to choose the tall Bottle Gourd (lauki) that is considered to be of best quality. Also take care that it should be raw (try to insert your nails in the Bottle Gourd (Lauki) if your nails are inserted easily that Bottle gourd is of the best quality)
The other ingredients like Ginger (adarak) are seasonal, so you can skip the one which is not available in the market. But Tulsi (Basil leaves) are easily available and Pudina (Mint leaves) are also available easily everytime.
But Bottle Guard (Lauki) juice should not be skipped.
Method to drink the Juice:
Drink this juice everyday in the morning on an empty stomach and do not eat or drink anything till 40 minutes after drinking the juice.
Continue this for 6 months regularly. There is no harm in drinking it always.
Other diseases cured by this juice:
- Waist pain
- Shoulder pain
- Migrane (pain in half side of head)
- Blood Acidity (acidosis)
- Low blood pressure
- Insomnia (Not able to sleep)
- Hunger problems
- Weak Eye Sight
Should Heart Patients Go for Heart Operations??
In heart operations like bypass surgery or angioplasty doctors place a spring (named as stent) in your arteries (blood carrying veins to heart). Now after doing this there is no guarantee that you will never get a heart attack. Doctors never guarantee that you are completely fit even after spending tons of money on operation. If any Heart specialist doctor is a heart patient, he will never go for heart operations in his life and will always try to remove the reason for heart problems. So many Ayurveda gurus have suggested to never go for operation and always target the root cause for the disease.
Also good for perfectly fit and healthy people:
People who are perfectly fit and healthy and don’t have any of the other diseases can even drink this juice regularly. There are no side effects of this juice. It removes all the toxic elements from the body through urine and maintains the health and also shields from many diseases.

Aditya Birla Group company UltraTech Cement has announced plans to invest Rs12,886 crore to expand annual production capacity by 22.6 million tonnes (MTPA).
The capital cost of capacity expansion works out to $76 per tonne of cement, according to reports.
The board of directors of Ultratech Cement, at its meeting last week, approved capex of Rs12,886 crore capacity expansion plan involving a mix of brown field and green field expansion. This would be achieved by setting-up integrated and grinding units as well as bulk terminals. The additional capacity will be created across the country, the company has stated.
"This ambitious capacity expansion plan is a significant milestone in the ongoing transformational growth journey of UltraTech. The company has more than doubled its capacity over the last five years and is committed to meeting India's future needs for housing, roads, and other infrastructure. This investment is backed by a strong conviction on India's growth potential as well as a deep and nuanced understanding of the market dynamics of the cement industry. Given the size of the investment outlay, I am confident that this new capacity creation will have a multiplier effect leading to jobs and growth across multiple regions in India," Kumar Mangalam Birla, chairman, Aditya Birla Group, said.
Commercial production from these new capacities is expected to start in a phased manner, by FY25. UltraTech's current expansion programme is on track and estimated to be completed by the end of FY23.
Upon completion of the latest round of expansion, the company's capacity will grow to 159.25mtpa, reinforcing its position as the third largest cement company in the world, outside of China, with a consolidated grey cement capacity of 119.95 MTPA.

Mental health is such an essential part of your overall health and wellness. It affects how we function in day-to-day life and can be improved in several different ways. The following are fifteen things that can positively impact your mental health.
Sleep is essential for good mental health. One person shared that they believe it's the single most important determinant of health, and almost no one seems to know or take it seriously. Prioritizing sleep makes everything else in your body work better.
2. Leaving Some People Behind
Toxic relationships can be draining and cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Remind yourself that it's okay to let go. According to one man, just because you've been close to someone for a while doesn't mean it has to remain that way. Especially if you realize the other person isn't good for you.
3. Regular Exercise
Regular exercise not only keeps us physically fit but also positively affects our mental state. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters that reduce stress and anxiety. Someone shared that nothing else has as much of a positive effect on their mental state as regular exercise.
4. Spending Less Time on Social Media
Social media can be highly detrimental to your mental health, especially when used for several hours. One person shared that silencing their activity on social media and replacing their time spent on it with reading books has seriously improved their mental health.
5. Adopting a Cat
Someone remarked how getting a cat seriously improved their mental health. Life gets lonely, especially if you don't have family, a partner, or kids, but having a cat makes life a little easier. They shared how their cat sits with them, and when they need to rant and say all kinds of stuff to him, he just sits there and lets them get everything off their chest.
6. Connect with Nature
Nature has a calming effect and can help reduce stress and anxiety. People unfortunately still overlook the importance of nature, or it's hard for many to find nature where they live. One man shared how he took a trip to the mountains and had never felt more relaxed. When he moved near the water, he instantly saw his mental health improve after living in the city for many years.
7. Embrace Platonic Relationships
Friends can also love you. According to one woman, knowing that you're loved even if you don't have a romantic partner can improve your mental health and wellbeing. Having healthy relationships with friends and family can improve your sense of belonging.
8. Taking a Shower First Thing in the Morning
A shower first thing in the morning sets the tone for your day and prepares you for what's ahead. One person shared that taking a shower as soon as they wake up is a massive help in improving their mental health. It gets the day started and ensures they're not lying around procrastinating everything.
Cycling is an excellent source of exercise that also provides a change of scenery and gets you out of your head. Cycling is also a wonderful sleep regulator, providing a good night's sleep. It also provides a framework for setting goals, which helps with boosting confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
10. Taking a Break
Someone remarked that, at times, taking a break from friends and family may be necessary for your mental health. Accepting no calls, texts, or emails for a few weeks, maybe more, if necessary, gives you time to focus on yourself. It allows you to recharge, reflect, and prioritize yourself without distractions.
11. Drinking Water
Drinking water is another way to improve mental health. Dehydration can lead to brain fog and a lack of emotion. One person shared how they've personally suffered from these symptoms, which was resolved when they started drinking lots of water.
12. Living in the moment
Living in the moment is another excellent way to improve mental health. Someone shared how depression seems driven by the past, and anxiety seems driven by the future, but focusing on being present helps tremendously. It lets you focus on what is happening right now and helps to reduce negative thoughts.
13. Finding Love
Finding the right partner to share your life with can significantly affect your mental health. One woman shared that she met her husband six years ago, and her life has improved substantially. She never thought she would be this happy, but looking back on her life before him, she was very sad.
14. Reducing Alcohol Consumption
Reducing alcohol consumption can also reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. One person shared that one thing that was instrumental in improving their mental health was realizing that alcohol doesn't make them happy and drastically reduced its consumption.
15. Going to Therapy
Therapy provides a safe space to express feelings and emotions without judgment. It offers practical solutions to help improve mental health. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize your mental health by seeking help when necessary. Someone shared that going to therapy was the best thing they'd ever done for themself.
This thread inspired this post.
She started her blog, The Money Dreamer, when she realized the 9-5 job was not the lifestyle she wanted anymore. After designing for a while, she wanted a more meaningful life, which was freedom, so she decided to venture out. She took action so that she can live her dream life and decided to help people to live theirs by helping them how to save, budget, and invest.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"is there a way to know if a concussion caused permanent damage?"
I had a concussion when I fell off of a small chair that I was standing on last week. Everything seems normal now, but could I have done something permanent to my head after the concussion has gone away. I just don't feel quite right still. Like just a funny feeling in my whole body.
I am sorry to hear that you took such a fall, but I am glad to hear that the concussion seems to have been fairly minor and that you are on your way to a recovery. Any concussion does need, however, to be followed up very closely, either by your primary care doctor or a neurologist. It is sometimes difficult to know how quickly the concussion symptoms will resolve. Common symptoms after a concussion can include headache, mood problems, sleep disturbances, and trouble with concentration or with memory. The "not quite right" feeling that you are describing could also be a resolving symptoms. Some people with more significant concussions will have symptoms for weeks to months after the head injury. The fact that your concussion seems to have been quite minor is very encouraging, as is the fact that most of your symptoms seems to have resolved. These all suggest that the chance that you had any permanent damage from your concussion is quite minimal. However, there is no good way to tell for sure, other than to wait and see. Your doctor can follow you closely over the coming months to make sure that you make a full recovery.

text: TODAY, English-speaking Christians may take the King James Bible and modern English translations for granted. But they shouldn't.The translation of the Bible into English out of Greek, Hebrew, and Latin was a virtual revolution. Many of the early Bible translators were great reformers who laid down their lives to give the Scriptures to the public. These reformers played a pivotal role in a convulsive struggle that revolutionized nearly everything that mattered in Renaissance England: church, throne, literature, arts, and sciences. Before these Bibles were published, the idea of making the Scriptures available to the common people was anathema to the leaders of both church and state. They thought that putting the Scriptures into ordinary language would desecrate the Word of God and encourage heresy and rebellion. John Wycliffe, a late-14th-century theologian at Oxford University, found this intolerable. He agonized over the people's ignorance of the essentials of religion and of the Bible. So he sent a corps of "poor preachers" throughout the countryside explaining the Gospel simply and clearly to the common people. And he and his followers translated the whole Bible from Latin into Middle English. Wycliffe paid a price, however. He was condemned by the church and imprisoned for heresy. Yet his followers carried his mission forward boldly, revising his translation and dispersing copies of it all over England. Even so, the popular craving for the Scriptures was far from satisfied by this underground Bible market. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 sent Hebrew and Greek scholars westward for asylum, unlocking those languages for Bible scholars in Western Europe and England. Gutenberg's printing press provided the vehicle for producing Bibles for mass distribution. And Martin Luther completed his monumental translation of the entire Bible into German from the original Hebrew and Greek in 1521. In England, Luther's thinking had an immediate impact. William Tyndale, a scholar of Greek, began a fresh translation of the New Testament into English from the original texts. Finding no support for his work in England, where King Henry VIII believed the Bible would stir up rebellion, he fled to Europe to confer with Luther and complete his text. Dogged by spies who followed him from city to city, Tyndale nevertheless completed and published his New Testament in 1525, smuggling large quantities of the text into England. Tyndale's Bible meant nothing but trouble for Henry, since multitudes of English people defied his authority by reading the new translation. So when the reformer was at last arrested and sentenced to death in Germany in 1535, Henry did nothing to rescue him. Tyndale's final words as he burned at the stake were, "Lord, open the king of England's eyes!" Meanwhile, Henry, having just declared his independence from the Roman Catholic Church, wanted to produce a Bible for which he alone could take credit. So he asked a churchman named Miles Coverdale to complete and publish Tyndale's translation, purged of its militant glosses, its anti-church translations, and even its author's name. Coverdale's Bible - with its bland conservatism - enraged the English people. So in 1537 Henry again published Tyndale's text, disguised as "Matthew's Bible," this time clearly authorizing it. Assembled by a close friend of Tyndale's, John Rogers, the new version was even more radical and anti-ecclesiastical than Tyndale's had been. Rogers, too, was eventually burned at the stake. Groping for an alternative to the Matthew's Bible, Henry again turned to Coverdale. The result was the Great Bible of 1539, an ultraconservative text that the English people detested. During the reign of Catholic Queen Mary Tudor (called by her opponents "Bloody Mary," because she executed so many Protestants), more than 800 earnest Bible readers fled England for refuge in John Calvin's stronghold at Geneva. There they completed an ambitious retranslation of the whole Bible - called the Geneva Bible - from the original Greek and Hebrew in 1560. Surprisingly, the new sovereign, Protestant Queen Elizabeth I, refused to allow it to be sold in England, fearing its strongly antimonarchical notes. Other Bibles followed: the Bishops' Bible of 1568, a rerun of the unpopular Great Bible, and the Rheims New Testament of 1582, an attempt by the Catholic Church to win converts in England. To the queen's horror, the Rheims version became a runaway bestseller. When James VI of Scotland became king of England in 1603, he faced a deeply divided nation committed to two extremist Bibles, the Geneva and the Rheims - and dead set against the one legal Bible, the Bishops' text. His way out of this Bible deadlock was to commission an entirely new translation of the Bible, to be carried out by 50 of England's best scholars. The genius of the project, which was completed in 1611, was its ecumenicism. James stacked each of the six translation committees with scholars of every theological stripe and told them to come up with a text they could all agree on. This was consistent with the king's lifelong dream to reconcile the Protestant and Catholic divisions of Western Christendom in one grand church - united under the banner of the Bible. As a king, James was a failure. He was vain, extravagant, and foolish. But his achievement in forging a gloriously beautiful English Bible, reflecting all the exuberance of the Golden Age of English literature, was enormous. And most important, James gave the Bible for the first time in British history to all people, in small sizes for home reading that anyone could afford. He was the last of the great Bible reformers, finally uniting the English people with the Scriptures.


In September 1996, I stood on the floor of the United States Senate to respond to Sen. Barbara Boxer's comment that I was ignoring the "cries" of the women who came to Washington to lobby for the sustaining of President Clinton's veto of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.
My response? We would be deafened by the cries of the babies that are not here today, because of this procedure. I then addressed the comments by another senator likening the partial-birth procedure to an appendectomy. I pointed to the diagram depicting this gruesome procedure, in which a 5-month-old fetus is delivered alive, all but the head, and then, while the doctor's hand is making sure that the baby's head is not delivered, a pair of scissors are thrust into the base of the baby's skull. I raised my voice and said, "This is not an appendix; it is a baby, it's a baby."
The Washington Post described what happened next: "And then, impossibly, in an already hushed gallery, in one of those moments when the floor of the Senate looks like a stage set, with its small wooden desks somehow too small for the matters at hand, the cry of a baby pierced the room, echoing across the chamber from an outside hallway. No one mentioned the cry, but for a few seconds, no one spoke at all."
After 12 years, three bills sent to two presidents for signature, two veto override attempts and one faulty Supreme Court decision, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 is today the law of the land. This was a hard-fought battle over what is a rather small piece of the legal landscape of abortion. In spite of this victory, not one abortion will be stopped by this law. Babies up to the moment of their separation from their mothers will still be subject to having their lives snuffed out simply because they are, at that particular moment, not wanted.
