A set of laws are a necessity for human society – without them, humans can retrogress back into a state of nature. Homer, in his epic, The Odyssey, shows readers the outcome of a society when rules are not obeyed and, instead, ignored. An unbalance occurs and Homer proves to readers that without laws, a terrible dystopia is born. Rules that are followed are essential in a well-built society, and Homer thinks that when no one is present to enforce these rules, and they are instead ignored, the break-down of society occurs, causing chaos and disorder to roam freely.
Rules are created to control and to manipulate the populace which they do not allow individualism which, if not allowed to do so there would be no will to go on, shackled to the own consciousness. These rules exist to disallow individualism so people would not have the will to
In today's army, being on time can be a paramount activity. Consequences for not showing up on time can be disasterous. In a normal job, you get up, go to work, and come home, and that is the limit of the level of involvement. The army is not one of
The members of the armed forces are well know, and well respected for their discipline. Part of that discipline comes from the ability to follow the orders of your subordinates, even if they don’t feel like it or don’t agree with them. How disciplined can a soldier be if they don’t follow orders. The soldier in question can’t be very disciplined if they fail to follow instructions right? It goes against everything a soldier stands for. This makes them a danger to their team members, especially in a time of war. I do not think
In order for the Army to be a profession, the American people need to determine and declare us a profession. We provide security and defense to our citizens and in exchange, they trust and honor that our decisions are for the benefit of our nation. The people do not regulate the Army, but they trust that the Army regulates itself thru its ethic. I quote, “The Army Ethic is the evolving set of laws, values, and beliefs, deeply embedded within the core of the Army culture and practiced by all members of the Army Profession to motivate and guide the appropriate conduct of individual members bound together in common moral purpose.” Laws alone will not make a soldier a professional; it is the way the army educates, motivates and shapes a soldier to become a professional. A competent professional with a strong character and commitment
This platoon is a family and as a family we should work as such no questions asked when something needs to be completed as an nco I need to complete the mission first at all times to get it accomplished in a timely manner and ensure that it is completed
Rules in Life Most people don’t like following rules. Some people don’t mind following rules. Everyone can relate to the quote in The Handmaid’s Tale “A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.” (165) We want to be free, but we have these walls around us that won’t let us do what we want. I believe that people are the rat and that the walls are rules. Over time people figure that rules are walls that won’t budge. This is all hard to understand right now, but in the future people will understand what it means.
Blindly following rules and traditions without question can erode one’s human nature and contribute to the demise of society. Imposing strict compliance to social norms and traditions limits open-minded opinions and can restrict a society’s ability to expand its boundaries and prevent individuals from growing and maturing. Not being able to overcome the controlling ways of unbending and authoritative figures introduces the possibility of corruption and oppression against society. A society without the room for diversity and change imprisons individuals, limits innovation, and prevents society from evolving. It is important to respect traditions and society’s rules in order to learn from the past and create social order but not blindly
The world is based on rules, laws and regulations. If people were free to do as the please the world would be in mass chaos. Many of my peers have wanted a rule free society to do as they please I was surprised on what they most likely wanted. Society was built on rules for a reason humans are imperfect we make mistakes but also some make bigger mistakes like under aged drinking younger people would be crashing cars. There would be no fire departments, police departments, or hospitals. We had just finished The Giver were people live in a so called utopia. This utopia was a mask of the reality of life and was full of lies and unsureness. I will prove to you that rules are in import to the world and everyone in it.
Society, on the outside, is organized chaos. Take Chicago for instance, if we removed rules and time, it would be in turmoil. Crime, chaos, disorder; the city would not last more than aday. If we add in laws, and enforced them with police, much of that chaos would subside. However,

Rules sometimes set boundaries and make society feel pressured to act a certain way around others. Rules are usually set up for so that society can run smoothly, communities could be safer, and so that everyone is treated fairly. However, some people might oppose this because sometimes rules are
Rules of Third Rule of Third was an easy task to complete. In this picture I took, I frame the phone to be on the side but not all the way. I made the phone more interesting by turning on the camera and letting the landscape fill in. My success with this photo is that it brings more attention to what’s going on in the phone and bring a perfect image in my opinion.
My rules that I use in my daily life to guide my moral behavior are the laws, which is a formal public policy, and the rules of the Bible. I mostly follow these two things as my moral compass. A law helps me to know what behavior is right and wrong, and the rules of the Bible tells me what behavior is good or bad to my identity and values. In the lecture, Professor Mun said a law is “the public’s agency for translating morality into explicit social guidelines and practices and for stipulating punishments for offenses.” However, following the guidelines of the law doesn’t always make people moral. For example, cheating on boyfriend or girlfriend is not illegal, but it is obviously bad because
Rules and Laws have played a very crucial role throughout human history. More importantly the rules were made and laws implemented by those individuals that wielded power over the masses. These individuals would use their power to put in place laws that benefited them and those they favored. In almost all these cases the poor and the weak were taken advantage of and used by the powerful. This unfortunately is an ongoing problem even in today 's world, and presents the importance of the concept of Rule of Law. Rule of Law is a legally binding principle put in place to govern a nation. Rule of Law can be defined in short as a doctrine that no single individual, however powerful they maybe, should be considered above the law. In principle

The voice on the telephone had a pleasing lilt to it, a melodic “Hellooooo!” dripping out of the receiver. One thing Horace Clarke wanted you to know before you ever asked the only question he ever seemed to hear was this:
“I am happy, my friend,” he said that afternoon, winter of 2004. “I played major league baseball for parts of 10 years, and I played in the magnificent city of New York, and as a child in St. Croix that was beyond dreams. Yes. I am a happy man.”
Clarke died Wednesday at 81, and for as long as there are Yankees fans who remember the dog-day era spanning 1965-75 his name will, fairly or no, be attached to it. And this wasn’t just a product of time, either. On the day after Clarke was traded to the Padres on May 31, 1974, the back page of The Post announced it thusly:
“Yanks Can Lose Without Clarke”
“In New York I was attacked and ridiculed,” Clarke told The Post’s Joseph Valerio a few months later. “You don’t get used to it. No. Never. You try to retaliate. To block it out. But as long as you’re a mediocre player like myself, you’ve got to get used to it.”
That was Clarke in a nutshell: He knew well his own limitations. In a bitter spasm of irony, that self-evaluation was made hours before he booted a routine two-out Rusty Staub groundball that led to four unearned runs in a 4-2 Mets win.
Clarke would often wear his batting helmet in the field, which only added to the derision. Mostly, he was a victim of terrible timing. The Yankees won 29 pennants in the 44 seasons connecting 1921 and 1964. They would finish first five times in six years between 1976 and 1981.
But Clarke came up on May 11, 1965. The Dynasty was fraying. He was being groomed to replace a popular cornerstone, Bobby Richardson. There were others in it with him just as long; but Mel Stottlemyre had gotten a taste of ’64, Roy White stuck it out long enough to see success in the ’70s, Bobby Murcer returned for a postseason swig in 1980 and ’81. Stick Michael had a second life as a legendary front-office man.
“I was proud to be a Yankee,” Clarke said. “I just played there at a difficult time for everyone. But I had a blast.”
He hit .285 in 1969. The next year, between June 4 and July 2, he broke up no-hitters by KC’s Jim Rooker, Boston’s Sonny Siebert and Detroit’s Joe Niekro, all in the ninth inning. And he was the hitter on the last day of the 1971 season when crowds took over RFK Stadium, forcing the Senators to forfeit their last-ever game in Washington. He was the last Yankee to live out of the Grand Concourse Hotel, a three-block walk to work.
A few days before he was traded Clarke, ever the team man, volunteered to warm up pitchers during the Mayor’s Trophy Game with the Mets. On the day he was traded his best friend, White, asked: “What 10-year veteran does that?”
“I have my memories,” Clarke said.
So do Yankees fans of a certain vintage. Not all of them are pleasant. But, then, it is perhaps time to finally concede: They weren’t all due to Horace Clarke, either.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
The royal couple, who have relocated to the US, is said to be launching a fly-on-the-wall TV series with Netflix to showcase their charitable projects.
Panelist Jane Moore argued that they have ‘invaded their own privacy’ by inviting cameras into their own home, despite regularly speaking out about the importance of protecting their privacy and that of their son Archie.
She said: ‘You are invading your own privacy. It’s not a tap you can turn on and off at your own behest.’
A fed up Carol McGiffin agreed and launched into a rant about how ‘bored’ she is of them.
She said: ‘They’re being a bit hypocritical. They want to have their cake and eat it, whatever they want they get.
‘I’m not interested in them as a couple anymore. They should be what they want to be, I won’t be watching. I’m 100 percent bored of the pair of them.’
Jane said: ‘There are royals who live private lives. Look at Princess Margaret’s children. You can’t go to America and then invade your own privacies.’
Brenda Edwards weighed in, pointing out that they wouldn’t get left alone even if they ‘gave up’ their royal titles as she felt their marriage was ‘controversial’.
The theatre actress added that no one was being forced to watch the Netflix series, should it come about.
Bringing an end to the heated debate, Carol said: ‘Well let them get on with that, if you want to watch their show you pay for it and that’s the end of it.’
Host Coleen Nolan joked that she would be one of the people who would be tuning in to what ever they come up with.
According to a report by The Sun, the Duke and Duchess’ docuseries will be shot across three months and ‘will all be very tasteful’.
‘They want to give people a glimpse into their lives and see all the charity work they do,’ a source said.
The couple signed a deal earlier this month to create content for the streaming giant.
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV.

AND WHEREAS: Her unclear situation is also ILLEGAL according to the Articles which are pointed above;
THEREFORE: We, the undersigned, demand that the international community bring all possible pressure to bear upon the Islamic Republic of Iran to honor its binding human rights by IMMEDIATELY and UNCONDITIONALLY releasing Shahrzad Nazifi from jail, canceling her ILLEGAL suspended detention and dropping all equally ILLEGAL charges against her.

National Police Week is fast approaching and with the younger officers, it is incumbent that we pass on our police traditions. This May 11–17, 2008 every officer should visit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund Website. You should also plan on attending a local or state police week memorial service. Don't have one? Organize a committee in your city or town to begin one.
I would hope that your academy and department instill in their officers a strong sense of traditions. But for those who have not had that opportunity, here is a brief overview.
Black Badge Ribbon or Mourning Bar
The black ribbon placed over the badge is worn to symbolize the law enforcement community in mourning.
The history of the bagpipes for officers in the United States originates from law enforcement and fire fighters in the eastern states. Most officers were of Irish decent and bagpipes traditionally announced the Queen's Army marching to and from battle. With its beautiful tones, it is traditional to honor the officer and the family.
The bagpipe is much used by the Irish. To its sounds, this unconquered, fierce, and warlike people march their armies, and are encouraged to feats of valor. With it they also carry their dead to the grave, making such a mournful sound as to force the bystander to weep.
Symbolizes the rider not returning. It originates from times when horses were the primary means of transportation. The boots are reversed in the stirrups symbolizing the missing rider.
Twenty-One Gun Salute
The firing of three volleys, according to ancient belief, will scare away evil spirits. This ceremony was modernized to a twenty-one-gun salute in the United States.
Played to honor the fallen officer, in our para-military occupation.
Taps was sounded that night in July 1862, words were put with the music. The first were, "Go To Sleep, Go to Sleep." As the years went on many more versions were created and this could be another article in itself.
Folding of the American Flag
The casket is covered with the American Flag. The flag symbolizes the service of the deceased in the community and the United States. After it has been folded the flag is presented to the next of kin.
These are but a few of our more visible traditions. Special thanks to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund for their information, support, and all that they do for us.
This column is in honor of Sgt. Habersham W. Harvey of the Savannah (Ga.) Police Department. End of Watch: 10/20/1881 (Panel 46, E -12)
Train like your life is at stake; it just may be some day.

Army to Launch Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD Education Program
By John J. Kruzel
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 17, 2007 – Within 90 days, all soldiers will receive information to help them identify symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury, and they will be urged to seek treatment if necessary, Army officials told reporters at the Pentagon today.
Mental health care professionals will brief Army Secretary Pete Geren on the new program at the Pentagon tomorrow. And by Oct. 18, the same educational supplement will have been presented to platoon-sized groups of active-duty, reserve and National Guard soldiers throughout the force.
“The mild traumatic brain injury and the post-traumatic stress disorders -- they’re real,” said Army Lt. Gen. James Campbell, director of the Army staff. “They impact soldiers and impact those soldiers’ families. And as a result of that, that impacts the readiness of our great Army.”
During his 37-year career, Campbell said he recalls only two other instances when the Army mandated such extensive “chain training” programs.
According to subject matter experts, mild traumatic brain injury is an affliction that’s become a signature injury of the war on terror, often resulting from soldiers’ proximity to roadside bombs, mortars and other explosions. Symptoms are similar to those resulting from a concussion, from slower reaction times to emotional and cognitive problems.
PTSD often occurs from a feeling of helplessness at the time of a severely traumatic event. It manifests itself in three clusters of symptoms: intrusive re-experiencing of the event, numbness or disassociation, and hypervigilance, or the feeling that one is constantly “on edge.”
Traumatic brain injury, which ranges from mild to moderate and severe cases, requires an “injury event,” while PTSD can occur from cumulative effects of combat or extended deployments.
During two 30-minute multimedia presentations that make up the program, soldiers will learn to identify basic symptoms in themselves and other soldiers. Afterwards, health professionals will answer troops’ questions. The Army also has produced a video to make soldiers’ family members more sensitive to possible warning signs and treatment options.
Campbell said the program’s main objective is to reverse the tendency in military culture to attach a stigma to mental health care.
“I’m not naive. There is a huge culture issue here, and it is this: that those leaders or soldiers who seek help could be perceived … as being weak,” he said. “The whole thrust behind this program is that if you are, in fact, someone who needs help, that desire to get that help is not perceived as a weakness but rather as a strength, as a personal courage to do it.”
Anticipating greater demand on its medical system, the Army is actively recruiting health care practitioners, hoping to gain 270 professionals. Currently, some soldiers wait up to one month before receiving treatment; the Army is seeking to reduce that amount of time.
“The sooner the intervention is made, the easier it is to treat,” said Army Dr. (Col.) Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, director of Army’s Proponency Office for Behavioral Health. “We don’t want another Vietnam. We don’t want people with chronic symptoms who first present (them) 15, 20, 25 years later when it’s really hard to get rid of the symptoms.
“We want to take care of them and help the person right away,” she added.
Soldiers and their families will be able to learn more about the program at www.army.mil. Also, the Wounded Soldier and Family Hotline can be reached at 1-800-984-8523, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.org.

In the competitive landscape of cannabis brands, Potluck has shown variable performance across different categories and provinces. For instance, in Alberta, Potluck's presence in the Vapor Pens category has seen a slight but consistent decline, moving from the 20th position in November 2023 to the 26th by February 2024, alongside a descending sales trajectory from 193,715 in November 2023 to 140,489 in February 2024. This trend suggests a need for strategic adjustments to bolster its market position in this category. Conversely, the brand made a notable entry into the Pre-Roll category in February 2024, ranking 86th with sales amounting to 42,455, indicating potential growth areas for Potluck despite not being in the top 30 brands previously.
Looking at other provinces, Potluck's performance in the Flower category tells a story of resilience and challenges. In British Columbia, the brand experienced a gradual rank decline from 14th in November 2023 to 26th in February 2024, with a significant sales drop from 358,784 to 217,781 over the same period. This decline indicates a competitive struggle within the province. In contrast, Ontario shows a steadier position in the Flower category, with ranks fluctuating slightly around the mid-20s and sales decreasing from 600,142 in November 2023 to 520,301 in February 2024. The entry into the Pre-Roll category in Ontario at the 83rd position in February 2024, with sales of 77,682, also highlights a strategic move to diversify its product offerings. These insights into Potluck's performance across different provinces and categories underscore the dynamic nature of the cannabis market, where brand positioning and product diversification play crucial roles in maintaining relevance and competitiveness.

They add timeless beauty and luxury to the cooking space. And veneer brick is thin enough to cut around receptacles and outlets for a seamless look.

About the CELSIUS Project
Based on the premise that cities and districts are in a position to take the lead in the energy transition, the European Project CELSIUS, funded under the 7th Framework Programme assembled a network of 72 cities and 68 City Supporters between 2014 and 2017. They joined the project partners (20 organisations from public, private and research institutions) to help cities plan, develop and optimise their district heating and cooling networks.
Building on the reputation and the momentum it had created, at the end of the project the City of Gothenburg through Johanneberg Science Park, RISE, IMCG and Euroheat & Power joined forces to create the Celsius Initiative.

text: 字幕列表 影片播放 列印英文字幕 Prof: Good morning, let us begin. Today we're going to move away from the first dimension of music that we've been looking at, which is duration, or time, and begin to work with the second, which is pitch, and melody. And here's an initial question for you. Think of the texture of music and think of these strands of high and low. Where does melody sit in the texture? Is it high, middle or low? Where is it? If you think about it conceptually, try to figure out, well, I got this board up here, this tapestry, or whatever, where's my melody going to be in the texture: high, middle or low? Michael? Student: It would be high. Prof: Yeah, usually high. Now, here's an interesting question for you, why is it usually high? There's an acoustical reason for this. Why does the melody show up in the high range? Student: > Prof: I beg your pardon? Student: It's easier to hear. Prof: It's easier to hear in a high range. Why is it easier to hear in a high range? What about the acoustics here? Once again, the laws of acoustics. Why is it easier to hear in a high range? I could play for you, for example, a little bit of Mozart. It would sound like this. > You like that? > Sounds better up there, doesn't it? Why is that the case? Yeah. Student: Maybe you can put the frequency of the higher pitches as high so you can detect the sound quicker and >. Prof: That's it exactly. In a melody, we tend to have a lot of rhythmic activity there. It's got to have activity to play itself out as melody. But because the way sound waves operate, we have these low sound waves taking a very long time to clear. The higher frequencies take a lot shorter time to clear. They're short sound waves. They clear very quickly. So, we can hear a melody--we can hear a melody more clearly in this higher register and therefore, there is always the tendency to have the bass play long, low notes because those sounds take a long time to clear and melodies play faster notes because those sounds clear quickly and we can hear and enjoy the melody. All right, that's just an opening thought about why melodies show up in the top part of the texture. Let's talk about melody here and let's talk about pitch. We said before that in Western music we have musical notation. And musical notation is relied on more in Western music than any other musical civilization around the world. And in the West, this whole idea of pitch notation goes back to the ninth century, when the monks and nuns in Benedictine abbeys in Switzerland and France and Germany and northern Italy started doing this; they started marking on parchment or slate the general course of a melody. Eventually, what they did was to separate these lines into more discreet places, or more discreet pitches. Then around one thousand in northern Italy, an enterprising fellow named Guido of Arezzo came along and said, "Well, you know what? I can get this to show us how far up we are supposed to go, by placing it on some kind of grid here," and this is this-- as I said before, the beginning of the first graph in the history of the West. This grid of horizontal lines (and we will know that if we're going from here to here), it's got to be exactly this frequency, or at least this space. So, initially they came up with four lines and then eventually five and even six, and then they went back to five by the fifteenth century. What they also did around the year one thousand was to identify--to label--these particular spots--spaces and lines. So they began to call this A and this B and this C and this D and this E, this F, this G. When they got up here, they stopped. Why did they stop? Why didn't they keep right on going with G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P? Why don't we sing Ms and Os and Ps today? Why did they stop? Any ideas? > Roger? Student: > Prof: Yeah, they had this thing--they hit this thing called the octave. And, of course, there's this--another acoustical phenomenon here we've talked about before, what's the relationship within an octave? The string is vibrating higher when it's exactly twice what the lower one is . So, they heard this and they heard this as essentially all one sound. So, if it's a duplication of sound, let's duplicate the letters. But you can look at manuscripts of the early eleventh century and see people singing Ps and Ls and Os and Ms and things like that. But eventually, they began to uniformly adopt this system of what's called "octave duplication." And every musical culture around the world-- and I've talked with ethnomusicologists about this particular point-- every musical culture around the world, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian, Indian, African whatever, they all use this phenomenon of octave duplication in their music-- octave duplication in the music. But how they divide up this sonic space within the octave can vary rather considerably. Some Arabic music seems to have as many as fourteen gradations within the octave. Now, we're going to listen to a piece of music here from the tradition of classical India and I thought we might have a sitar player in here. Somebody--I got wind of the fact we might have a classical Indian musician in our class, somebody that had studied the sitar and might be able to come in and play one for us. But we don't have that, so we're going to use something on our CDs by the world famous sitarist, Ravi Shankar. Okay, you've probably heard of him. He's actually quite old now. He must be--surely he's in his eighties. He was very famous when I was in graduate school tons and tons of years ago. So--but he is the venerable sitar player. And here is the pattern, the raga. We'll call it a scale. It's not really a scale but a raga that he is using. It's got only six notes within the octave. > Prof: And the six notes are--> --that particular pattern. Doesn't sound like any scale we've ever heard of. So, let's listen to Ravi Shankar play a bit of a raga using a six-note scale. > Okay, so that gives you a flavor of that and you have that, of course, on your CD number six, fifteen. So that's a bit of sitar music. Now, we're going to play another six-note scale. Let's go onto that one when Lynda gets set. And this, of course, is sung by Nora Jones. And, as you know from reading the textbook, why do I mention Nora Jones? Or why do we play Nora Jones right after Ravi Shankar? Student: It's his daughter.. Prof: It's his daughter. Isn't that interesting? Every Saturday morning I'm going through Stop 'N Shop and there's Nora Jones in the background playing. I'm going down the pasta aisle or whatever, and I have the daughter of Ravi Shankar over my shoulder. What a world, huh? So, we're going to listen to just a couple of seconds here of a blues tune sung by Nora Jones. > Okay, so we'll just cut off here. But what she's working off of here--we're not going to listen to the whole thing--is this idea of a blues scale. > And so on. How's that operate? One, two, three, four, five, six. With this one, sometimes major and sometimes minor. We'll come back to that part. So, that's another six-note scale but a different sort of pattern, a different kind of pattern. It's a blues scale pattern. It's kind of between the major and minor that we'll talk about a little bit later on. So, two different forms of a six-note pattern, let's go to a five-note pattern. If you've ever visited parts of Indonesia-- which I have not--and if you've ever visited parts of China-- which I have not--I am told that you will hear this kind of music. It's played by a traditional Chinese instrument called the erhu. This I have seen around the world many times and heard. It's a two-stringed instrument that produces a particularly beautiful, vibrant tone. So, we're going to listen to an erhu playing. I think this is track--if you want to pursue it, it's track--six-CD--track sixteen. Let's listen to an erhu play a melody by a traditional Chinese composer-- we call him in English "Abbing" and you can read about him there in your textbook. > Okay, so let's see--let's pick that up. > Five notes within the octave just there. So, it's a penta--what we call a pentatonic scale. And that's used in a lot of Far East cultures--the pentatonic scale, just a five-note scale there. Okay, so we have--there's a whole idea of octave duplication--sometimes six notes, sometimes five notes. We in the west have settled on a seven-note scale. Why did that happen? Well, we have this idea of a seven-note major and seven-note minor. Why seven notes? Well, for the answer to that we have to go back to ancient Greek music theory, and when you read about this--it's really turgid stuff-- but believe it or not, I teach a course on this at the graduate level. We have to read--poor Lynda has to take this kind of stuff--reading Aristoxenus and things like this. So, what we're dealing here with is a situation where the ancient Greeks were very much into mathematics as a way of explaining the world and explaining music in particular . And they thought these ratios were primary. So, they had the ratio of two to one, which gave them the octave, and three to two, which gave them the fifth, and four to three, which gave them the fourth. They also, because the system worked out better for their purposes, then jumped to nine to eight, which gave them the whole tone. So, they started out there and let's say they were working down here. They filled in the octave up above and then they filled in the fifth and then they filled in the fourth and then they came down a whole step and then they went up a fourth from that whole step and then up a fourth from that, and they were filling in in this fashion. Interestingly enough--and you ever wonder this?--sometimes somebody will wander by a keyboard and say, "That's odd." What's the great oddity about the keyboard? What's strange about this keyboard? It's very asymmetrical, right? Marcus? Student: It's missing >. Prof: Yeah, it's missing some notes in here. It's missing something in here, and it's missing--well what these are were the cracks.

S Yashasri Bio
Soppadhandi Venugopal Yashasri was born on Thursday, 4 September 2003 (age 19 years; as of 2022) in Hyderabad. Her zodiac sign is Virgo. She completed her schooling at Indus International School, Hyderabad. Before choosing cricket as her game, she used to play different sports including Coco, swimming, and basketball.
She got interested in the game when she saw her friend Pooja Vanka hitting the ball during an inter-school game. She got aware of her bowling skills in 2016 when she was asked to bowl for the school cricket team because of her tall height when the team was falling short of players.
When S Yashasri turned 13 years old, she learned techniques from the players by watching them on television. Later, she started her training at Bhavan’s Cricket Academy and Iqbal Cricket Academy. In an interview, she said that when she started playing many people told her parents that there was no future for girls in cricket, but her parents never stopped supporting her. According to her, she was not interested in studies and only went to school to give teams.
- Height (approx.): 5′ 9″
- Hair Colour: Black
- Eye Colour: Black
Yashasri’s father’s name is Venugopal, who is a retired IAF officer. Her mother’s name is K Vidya. Her brother’s name is Srikiran.
In 2021-2022, S Yashasri did not perform well in the U19 one-dayers after which she started training harder and decided to get selected for the U19 World Cup. Meanwhile, she played for the zonal and the NCA camps.
In 2022, S Yashasri played in the Bilateral series of the South Africa Tour of India and took four wickets for 38 runs in the two T20s. In 2022, she was not chosen for the Indian squad in December for the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup and got really sad about it.
Before the tournament, Mumbai’s Hurley Gala suffered a laceration of her right thumb which required stitches, after which Yashasri got selected as the replacement player, but she got to play only one match in the tournament. In 2023, she was picked by UP Warriorz in the World Premier League auction for Rs. 10 Lakh.

MELBOURNE Rebels coach Tony McGahan has announced Nic Stirzaker as his new captain for the 2016 Super Rugby season, ditching his previous co-captaincy model.
Stirzaker, 24, takes the skipper’s reins from the two Scott’s — Fuglistaller and Higginbotham — who shared the captaincy last season.
Higginbotham is now playing in Japan.
Halfback Stirzaker has successfully captained the Melbourne Rising NRC side and was the Rebels’ representative on the Rugby Union Players’ Association board in 2015.
Stirzaker has a swift pass and is being tipped to make his Wallabies debut this year.
Rugby World Cup-winning captain Nick Farr-Jones is a huge fan of the commerce student, who is forming an exciting halves pairing with Jack Debreczeni.
Stirzaker will be supported by vice-captain Fuglistaller, along with Sean McMahon, Mike Harris, Tamati Ellison, James Hanson and Debreczeni, in a seven-man leadership group.
Stirzaker will become the youngest ever Rebels captain.
“Nic has a maturity beyond his years, with the ability to stay calm in high-pressure situations, adapt to constantly changing scenarios and lead from the front,” McGahan said.
“Through the leadership selection process, we’ve been able to establish a group of players that bring different attributes, qualities and experiences.”
Said Stirzaker: “It’s an absolute honour and thrill to be named captain of the Melbourne Rebels for 2016.
“I’ve got big shoes to fill, this club has been led by some great captains over the last six years, including Gareth Delve and Scott Higginbotham, so it’s a privilege to follow in their foot steps.
“While I’ll bring my own style to the role, it’s comforting to know that, along with the support of a very experienced leadership group, we’ve got an entire squad of players at the Rebels who share in the leading the club.”
Speaking on Wednesday before the captaincy announcement, Stirzaker talked to foxsports.com.au about the club’s expectations in 2016.
“Internally we just want to do well for ourselves and we’re not looking too far ahead, but we want to do better than we did last year [10th place],” Stirzaker said.
“Everyone wants to do that, no-one wants to go backwards, so I think there is just a bit of internal expectation from ourselves.
“We know with the quality we’ve got that we should be alright.”
With some solid off-season recruits, including Test forwards Adam Thomson, Hanson and Jamie Hagan, 2016 is being tipped as the Rebels’ best opportunity yet to qualify for the finals.
Asked if the season would be a failure if they didn’t, Stirzaker said: “No I don’t think so, I don’t think you can put those sort of targets on the season.
“No teams do — I think you’ve just got to expect from yourselves that you’re going to do better than last year and see what comes up in the season and see how everything pans out.”
The Rebels smoked Samoa 85-0 in their final pre-season game on Thursday night.
They open their season against the Force at nib Stadium on February 27.

Select a year
- Highs Powerful twin-turbo V-8 engine, surprisingly agile handling, sophisticated design.
- Lows Not especially fuel-efficient, styling might be too subdued for some buyers, outdated infotainment system.
- Verdict Brute power and a traditionally unassuming design make the S8 a veritable wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The Audi S8 is not your everyday country-club cruiser. It appears and often acts more athletic than its most direct competitors, the BMW 760i xDrive and the Mercedes-AMG S65 sedan. Think of it as an executive rally car, with its standard all-wheel-drive system, taut suspension, and 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that Audi co-developed with Bentley. The S8 has been on the market in the U.S. since the 2013 model year, however, and the 520 horsepower of the standard S8 fell behind the 760i V-12’s 601 horses, and the AMG 65 V-12’s 621. In response, Audi introduced the S8 Plus in 2016 and has made it the only S8 model available in the U.S. It comes only in short-wheelbase form, 117.8 inches between the front and rear axles. More importantly for this very exclusive segment, its engine now produces a competitive 605 horsepower.
What's New for 2018?
There were no updates to the 2018 Audi S8. It is the last model year for the third-generation car, as its base A8 platform will be all-new for 2019, with a new S8 model to follow shortly after.
- S8 Plus: $116,875
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Tuning up an extra 85 horsepower to make the S8 Plus results in an as-tested 3.3-second zero-60 mph sprint, just 0.4-seconds behind Audi’s own lighter, V-10-powered R8 sports car. Order the optional Dynamic package and the speed limiter lets you keep on accelerating all the way up to 190 mph. We called the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8’s rumble “sinister, yet subdued.” Its 605 horsepower is coupled to an eight-speed automatic putting power to all four wheels, full-time. The A8’s adaptive air suspension was sport-tuned for the S8, then tuned up again for the S8 Plus. It’s cushy in Comfort mode, but click it into Dynamic mode and the driver enjoys keen steering, deft response, and an unworldly ability to rotate for such a big, heavy sedan. We said of the S8 Plus: “Its blistering performance makes it one of the ultimate sleepers sold today.”
EPA fuel-economy testing and reporting procedures have changed over time. For the latest numbers on current and older vehicles, visit the EPA’s website and select Find & Compare Cars.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Audi S8 Plus’s subdued interior, all-leather with real metal trim, has enough visual pop to assure you won’t think you’re driving a quotidian A8. Standard features include four-zone climate control, 22-way power-adjustable heated front seats with massage and ventilation functions, and power rear and side sunshades. An available black leather interior with Arras red stitching is available as part of Audi Design’s full-leather package.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The S8’s aging platform means its technology hasn’t kept up with the state-of-the-art systems found in most competitors. The Audi's MMI infotainment screens are not even as up-to-date as those available in less-expensive Audis, such as the A4, Q7, and TT. Standard equipment does include such features as navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, iPod interface, and a Bose surround-sound audio system with 14 speakers.
Safety Features and Crash Test Ratings

The division was created at the start of the 2004–05 season, when the league expanded from 29 to 30 teams with the addition of the Charlotte Bobcats. The league realigned itself into three divisions in each conference. The Northwest Division began with five inaugural members: the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers, the Seattle SuperSonics and the Jazz. The Trail Blazers and SuperSonics joined from the Pacific Division, while the Nuggets, the Timberwolves and Jazz joined from the now-defunct Midwest Division.
The SuperSonics/Thunder franchise has won the most Northwest Division titles, with five, while the Nuggets have won three, the Jazz have won two, the Trail Blazers have won one, and the Timberwolves have never won the Northwest Division title. In the 2009–10 season, all four teams that qualified for the playoffs each had more than 50 wins. The most recent division champion is the Portland Trail Blazers, having won their first division championship in the 2014–15 season.


A video of an officer of the Nigeria Police Force has gone viral on the internet after the officer was caught on tape negotiating bribe with a bus driver with claims that ‘God is in support of stealing’.
Corrupt act in the Nigeria police force is not a news to any Nigerian, especially road users, as this officers are known for their petty roadside bribe.
As much as this so called officers are meant to preach the law but instead, they are the violators of the law.
In the video, the police officer could be heard saying “even if they are hijacking vehicles and robbing on the highway, God is in support and that this is his, which he has to do his fullest of satisfaction”.
As much as the driver tried convincing the police officer that he has spent so much on bribes to other police officers along the way down, the officer insisted on his bid claiming they are four in numbers.
The driver argued “do you know how much I’ve spent on my way down”.

OPINION: by Warren ReedNews Weekly
Democracy in disconnect: joining the dots
, June 7, 2008
Australian democracy is diminished when we constantly overlook our government's failure to act openly and accountably, writes Warren Reed.If we are to protect the freedoms we have in Australia, it is essential that we learn from our mistakes. But to do so, we need first to acknowledge that they've been made, then take responsibility for what went wrong.
Regardless of who holds the Treasury benches in Canberra, the art of avoiding cleaning up the mess has become dangerously refined.
The media, to its credit, often draws relevant incidents to the public's attention, though we let each one pass as if it's isolated and not part of a worrying pattern.
An example came in The Australian
on the last Anzac Day — normally a day for reflection — in an article, "Pardon this whistleblower, say the law's big names". Chris Merritt, the newspaper's legal affairs writer, was looking at how some of the nation's most influential lawyers were calling for retrospective legislation to be used to clear the name of convicted whistleblower, Allan Kessing.Airport security
Kessing, a former member of the Customs Air Border Security Unit based at Sydney Airport, had been instrumental in compiling two reports, in 2003 and 2004, highlighting major shortcomings in the security net at the country's main airports. This included surveillance blind spots and criminal activity — and such a short time after the 9/11 tragedies in the United States.
The reports were leaked in 2005 and were front-page news, as a result of which then Prime Minister John Howard urgently hired British international aviation expert, Sir John Wheeler, to look into the claims. Wheeler confirmed the threats and vulnerabilities outlined in the reports, and the Federal Government allocated over $200 million to rectify the problem.
But, as usual, a lethargic Canberra, mugged by reality, demanded a victim on whom to vent its scorn. Despite its own fridge-magnet rhetoric and duty, the Government and the bureaucracy had been neither "alert" nor "alarmed".
Kessing was targeted, charged and duly convicted last year. He was given a nine-month suspended sentence and put on a good behaviour bond for two years. He has consistently denied leaking the reports and is currently in the process of lodging an appeal, following a drawn-out legal process that beggars belief.
In the run-up to last year's federal election, the Labor Party highlighted Kessing's case when it committed itself to bringing in legal protection for public servants who made unauthorised disclosures in the public interest.
What was leaked on airport security — and confirmed by Wheeler — has made all Australians inordinately safer, yet Kessing's life is being systematically trashed. There's no other way of putting it.
The new Rudd Government has been in office for nearly six months and we still haven't seen the whistleblower legislation, or any inclination on the part of Canberra to help Kessing.
In a democracy, especially one in which there are increasing calls for a bill of rights, this is appalling. Equally as shocking is the lack of interest on the part of Parliament and the community as a whole.
Likewise, no one is demanding to know why the two Customs reports were not acted upon by senior bureaucrats and their relevant ministers. Why were they buried? Who shirked responsibility?
A second red light flashed on April 28 this year when the NSW director of public prosecutions ordered police to drop charges against the ABC's 11-man Chaser's War on Everything
comedy team for breaching security in Sydney during last September's APEC conference.
You might recall that 21 world leaders were due in town for that talkfest, with US President George W. Bush and the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper already there. At the time, the image of Australian comedian Chas Licciardello stepping out of a black official-looking limousine dressed as Osama bin Laden, only metres from the US President's hotel, was flashed around the world.
While it is understandable that the police, who were left looking inept after that stunt, would want to pursue charges against the team, we still haven't been told whether it was really their fault.
We need to know about that, just as they deserve to have their name cleared. After all, the Howard Government made much of APEC security, which cost taxpayers well over $100 million. You would expect the Rudd Government also to be interested in the nation's well-being.
Moreover, the Seven Network, the Sydney's Daily Telegraph
website and the Sydney Morning Herald
all told us on September 13 last year that the Chaser
team was able to reach the "red zone" because security had been relaxed.
This occurred, it was said, after Prime Minister Howard had had a problem the day before with a locked gate. He had to wait for a duplicate key to be found. Later, the head of the APEC task force was stopped and searched when his accreditation was queried. Alan Henderson, the bureaucrat involved, had been appointed to the job from inside the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. A furious Henderson was reported to have lodged a complaint and demanded that the police ease off ministerial cars.
To make matters worse, the Daily Telegraph
followed up with a report that: "Officers were then ordered not to stop motorcades while they were in motion, which allowed the Chaser
crew — complete with an Osama bin Laden lookalike — to pass unchecked, police sources confirmed last night.
This was despite the fact that no official motorcades were scheduled to pass through the checkpoint that day."
The rest is history, and yet the Australian public has been given no explanation of the causes of a breakdown in the system that attracted worldwide media coverage.
It's easier, apparently, to let the police take the rap, even though public respect for them is vital — and for the police as much as for us. Nothing has been heard from the Rudd Government on this count.
Another bungle is the controversial case of Dr Mohammed Haneef. Leading the inquiry into this case is John Clarke QC, the retired NSW Supreme Court judge, but he has no powers to require people to give evidence.Blow-torchings
That means he'll be unable to protect those people who venture forth from the engine-rooms of the agencies involved to reveal the truth. Understandably, some might fear appearing because of the impact on their careers, if not because they're afraid of Canberra's renowned blow-torchings that shut decent people up.
Clarke has been left by the Government to ask for extra powers if he needs them. Why not grant them to start with?
In the minds of thinking Australians, all this begs the question: who's got what on whom in the national capital? Who's really calling the shots?
Whatever the answers might be, our democracy is diminished by constantly overlooking the failure to act openly and accountably.
A Monash University scholar, Dr Hugh Emy, in 1972 summed up a major difference between Australians and the British.
The latter, he said, had learnt over long, hard centuries to keep a sharp eye out for any abuse of state power, whereas Australians — despite their so-called healthy disrespect for authority — were largely indifferent to government as long as it provided most of what they wanted. Very little ever stirred them.
Emy, who died young, would be aghast if he came back today.— Warren Reed is a former intelligence officer with the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS).

Merton residents will be getting together with the council’s street cleaning team this Friday to clear litter from one of the borough’s problem litter spots.
Residents keen to keep Carshalton Road litter-free will join forces with the council outside the Goat Pub, Mitcham, from midday to 1.30pm on 4 March. They will be clearing rubbish from the area around the Goat Pub up to the roundabout opposite Ravensbury Tavern. Anyone wishing to join them would be welcome.
The council wants to hear from community groups, schools and businesses who are keen to get involved in the Carshalton Road clean-up or who want to organise their own event. The council can help by providing rubbish sacks and litter picks and will also collect from a pre-arranged area, the rubbish collected on the day of the clean-up. Clean for The Queen is on the 4 March, but the council encourages community clean-ups throughout the year. People interested in organising a clean-up should call the council on 020 8545 3189 and leave their details.
Merton Council’s cabinet member for environmental cleanliness and parking Councillor Judy Saunders said: “It’s always great to work with our residents on clean-ups. We’re lucky to have so many who care about and are proud of where they live. Every year we spend over £5 million on clearing the rubbish people drop on our streets and we’re continuing to take a tough line on those who litter in Merton, having raised the fine to £80. Working together with residents like this is a good way of keeping our neighbourhoods well looked after.”
Notes to editors
Clean for the Queen is a Keep Britain Tidy initiative which aims to give the UK a tidy up ahead of The Queen’s 90th birthday in April.

Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology of Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by complex heterogenous cytogenetic abnormalities that accounts for 1.4% of all cancers, and approximately 10% of hematologic malignancies. The clinical manifestations of multiple myeloma include lytic bone lesions, cytopenia, hypercalcemia, renal dysfunction, hyperviscosity of the blood, immunodeficiency, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on the clinical and genetic data, probably all cases of multiple myeloma arise from an asymptomatic monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance. The exact mechanism of the transition from MGUS to overt multiple myeloma is still not well understood. Recent oncogenomic studies have further advanced our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of multiple myeloma. This book will give a comprehensive overview of the genetic and molecular epidemiology of multiple myeloma in order to get a more refined and conclusive understanding of this disease.

The title of Jeffrey Clements' first book says it all: In "Corporations Are Not People: Why They Have More Rights Than You Do and What You Can Do About It," he dives into the controversy over the Supreme Court's 2010 ruling on Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission and its aftereffects. In Citizens United, the Supreme Court ruled broadly that corporations, as "associations of citizens," enjoy the same rights as individuals to engage in political speech.
Clements is a former Massachusetts assistant attorney general who says he disagrees with the decision, particularly the majority opinion equating legally bound corporations with loosely formed associations of citizens.

Stevia has become increasingly popular as a sugar alternative for baking in recent years.
It should be noted that the ratio to the other ingredients in terms of mass is considerably lower than that of sugar. Shortcrust pastry is no problem with Stevia. In the case of sponge cake or sponge dough, sugar serves as an important mass-volume supplier and is therefore almost impossible.
In this case, a mixture of erythritol and Stevia is suitable. It is also often called spoonable sweetener and is very easy to use and convert in the ratio to sugar 1 to 1.
When shopping, make sure that you do not use pure erythritol, as this only has a sweetening power of 60-70% to sugar.
It is cheaper to buy sweetener in a ratio of 1:1.

EW asked Harrison to describe the men this season, which features the series' first Black star ever, Rachel Lindsay. "The house always takes the shape or the personality of the Bachelor or Bachelorette," he explained, "and so with Rachel, it took the form of a little bit older, a little bit more professional, and a little more serious because that’s who she is." Then he made this unfortunate statement: "It’s a very diverse cast, but at the same time, very professional."
The problematic implication here is that a cast being diverse is at odds with a cast being professional. It's an incredibly racist assumption made subtle. In much cruder words: "Even though a lot of the guys are Black and you might assume they're jobless, they actually have great careers." I mean, ask yourself this: Can you picture Harrison saying, "It's a very white cast, but at the same time, very professional"? Exactly.
Now, I seriously doubt that this is what Harrison meant; he's been Lindsay's biggest supporter since day one, and has spoken at length about how important it was to him to create a diverse roster of suitors. (Harrison's rep and ABC declined to comment or clarify.) But to brush off Harrison's unintentionally off-putting comment would be a mistake, because his words are reflective of the kind of implicit racial bias that exists in this country. They betray a persistent and damaging stereotype about Black men: that they're not hardworking, responsible, ambitious, successful professionals.
Harrison's statement is a reminder of the fact that the language we use truly matters. It also reinforces the reality that this is all new territory for the Bachelor franchise, including its host. And this surely won't be the last misstep on the series' part this season when it comes to discussing and portraying race and racial issues. But if Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette can start discussions about the important subtleties of the ways we view and talk about Black men (and women) every day in this country — before it's even started — then it's going to be even more compelling TV than we thought.
The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 22 at 9 p.m. on ABC.

|Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2015 1:56 am Post subject: MUSICAL GEAR cleansing siege
|I have to dispose TWO guitars, TWO drumkits, TWO pedals, a drumrack from Pearl, THREE snaredrums and an Marshall all-valve 2x12" combo...
Bought the drumkit for a lifetime last december from Tama so I'm getting rid of my old Pearl Drums.
Pearl MMX (circa 2001) shell-set.
10x9,12x10,13x11,14x12 tom toms, 14x14, 18x16 floor toms, 22x16 bass drum, 14 x 5,5 snare.
Black Mist (#122 - see-thru-black).
Has toured for all its history, been in the studio MANY times. Sounds fantastic with the thin 4-ply shells with 4-ply reinforcement ring construction. Balanced attack with smooth low ends. Many battlescars on its skin but none of the constructions have any harm done on them. ALL the toms except 14x12 and 18x16 have die-cast hoops, these have Super Hoops, have been an add-on to this kit. These two also have not suffered that much on touring and assembling and such, but have some light scarring, too, which occures on every touring bands gear.
All except the snare and 18x16 have rather new Hardcases on them, and my asking price for this monster would be an even 2K.
Pearl MMX (circa 2004-2006) shell-set.
#126 Midnight Fade (quite common colour on Pearl kits, fades from blueish thru purple to black)
8x7,10x8,12x10,14x12,16x14 toms,22x18 bass drum; all mount drums, none of the "floor toms" have legs on them. With BLACK die-cast rims and Optimounts they look fantastic. Has been my ultimate add on since 2012 because I wanted to go double bass. Noticed on one studio session the bass drums differ in depth so I had to replace all my kit as I didn't want to buy another round of these drums any more.
Very clean and pretty condition over-all. I've looked thru everything as I got this kit and cleaned everything up and oiled up all the metal parts so It's all good to go.
These come with rather new padded Rockbags and have heads changed just an little while ago.
Asking price for these the same forementioned 2K.
Snaredrums to go:
13x5 power Piccolo, african Mahogany. Omar Hakim signature. Comes with a brand new Hardcase as well. Nice, clean condition and pops quite clearly. Not my obvious choise for doing Black Metal, but for heavy blast beat oriented Death Metal and such this could work out just fine.
My asking price on this is 280.
14x6,5 Super Gripper Brass snare
Just a little spot on the brass, all clean otherwise. Early model of real heavy weight drums on Pearl. Has been mentioned in weighting-in at 13lbs. Sounds FANTASTIC.......!
My asking price for this one is 380 (they're rare to come by anyways)
14x6,5 Free-Floating Brass snare
Heavy pitting on chrome on this, but I'll try to restore it as I get into it... Sounds just fine, but was overpowered by the Super Gripper when I got it. This one's from the second generation of Free Floaters.
My asking price on this one is 250.
Bass drum pedals...
Axis A21 Derek Roddy signature x2, have used them as singles, as the double pedal thing really sucks with Axis. There's no control on the lefty.
Have the trigger thingys and all that. I can't find the double pedal mounting gear right now but I'll look more into it.
These I'd part ways with for 620
Pearl Demon Drive double pedals, direct drive.
These I got some years back when they were introduced in the market. Did sit around the house for some years but I got them into action for about a year, and was replaced by the Axis', and they were replaced by what I'm currently using...
Have the original beaters + wooden beaters + brand new felt beaters too.
My asking price for these would be 480.
Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide (early version) with Cobra Coils fixed in them for some extra smooth working. Brand new felt beaters. Have been played a lot but have no clap and work just fine. I do have the grey plastic case for them, too.
Yours for 150.
Drum rack Pearl DR501(503), has an curved front and two straight side bars, has the mounting pieces on the towers too, and some clamps for cymbals and tom mounts. Has a padded bag for carrying around.
My asking price for this would be 330
Iron Cobra Rolling Glide Hi-Hat stand, around two years in use, mostly just rehearsals. All good.
Yours for 170
Iron Cobra Lever Glide Hi-Hat stand, also used a couple of years. Basically new.
Yours for 200.
Jackson Superlightweight soloist (made in Japan)
Velvet black, mahogany, neck-thru body, strings-thru body guitar with THICK neck (like in LP), EMG hz passive pick-ups and fixed bridge. Tonal monster.
Never really got around to this neck here, so I never really played this one. I got it from a friend who bought it brand new over a decade ago. Was last used by J.v.D. when we played the Godless North show here in Helsinki a few years back.
For this my asking would be 600.
B.C. Rich Warlock (early 90's...)
NJ body with Platinum series neck. Licenced FR (or reduce the price for 25 and I'll mount in another trem like this, which is fixed position..), with EMG 81/85 and AfterBurner. Put in the EMGs for this and the active thing was not really my style, this one tuned to C#, so due to buying some other guitars (eagle, mockingbird, an earlier Warlock...) this got never really into action.
My asking for this would be 275, so an even 250 without that licenceFR.
Marshall MA100 2x12" 100W all-valve COMBO.
Got it from a guy from work as back-up to my JMP and we used it for some rehearsals, but I got a guy in with an JCM600 that had pretty much the same valve type as my JMP so I never bothered to go really deep into this combo. Has all the original parts and the footswitch. Never really got into the twin-channel action so this one didn't get that much use and is good to go.
Yours for an even 500.

The seventh book in #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris's murder mystery series featuring part-time librarian Aurora Teagarden
'A heroine as capable and complex as P. D. James's Cordelia Gray' (Publishers Weekly)
When a Hollywood film crew descends on the small town of Lawrenceton, Georgia, part-time librarian Aurora Teagarden gets a behind-the-scenes look at movie making - and reprises her role as an amateur sleuth . . .
It's been more than a year since her husband Martin's death, and Roe Teagarden is still in mourning. All she wants is to be left alone to grieve - but that becomes impossible when a movie company arrives in Lawrenceton. They've come to make a film based on a book written by her onetime boyfriend Robin Crusoe, a book that detailed their shared investigation of a series of murders that occurred years before.
The locals are delighted. Roe is not. But Robin is just beginning to win her over when the lead actress - who is playing Roe - is killed. Once again, the two of them join forces to thwart a killer - without knowing that Roe herself is the next target . . .
CHARLAINE HARRIS is New York Times bestselling author who has been writing for over thirty five years. Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, she is the author of the Aurora Teagarden mysteries, basis for the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Aurora Teagarden original movies; the Midnight, Texas series, now airing on NBC; the Sookie Stackhouse urban fantasy series, basis for the HBO show "True Blood"; the Lily Bard mysteries; the Harper Connelly mysteries; and the co-author of the graphic novel trilogy "Cemetery Girl." Harris now lives in Texas with her husband and two rescue dogs.

Baaghi 3 has been announced by the makers even before the release of the trailer of the Baaghi 2. The best part is that the makers are trying to give a statement to the audience about the confidence on the project. Ahmed Khan who has directed the Baaghi 2 would also direct the third installment of the movie. But who has been cast in this? Well, the makers are not releasing Tiger Shroff for Baaghi series, but the leading lady may change for Baaghi 3.
Our excitement level has just tripled! We are thrilled to share the 3rd instalment of #SajidNadiadwala’s Baaghi franchise starring @iTIGERSHROFF directed by @khan_ahmedasas#Baaghi3 @WardaNadiadwala pic.twitter.com/ijYdyIqbVs
— Nadiadwala Grandson (@NGEMovies) February 19, 2018
The first installment of the movie was released in 2016. Tiger Shroff and Shradhaa Kapoor were tremendous and the movie earned around 76 Crores lifetime business. The makers roped in the rumoured couple Tiger and Disha Patni for the second series. The trailer is set to come on February 21st. However, it is not announced about the leading lady. The second part of the movie might give some hint about the third. It can be a general sequel to the unfinished end of the movie. It can be a new movie altogether under the same brand name as well.
However, one thing is very sure, that Sajid Nadiadwala has shown immense confidence in the director and Tiger Shroff for the Baaghi series. The collections of the Baaghi 2 may further boost the confidence of the makers. However, as of now, the focus is on the Baaghi 2 whose trailer is highly anticipated especially for the romantic couple Tiger Shroff and Disha Patni.
