Suriya's NGK confirmed for 2018 Diwali release; Rakul Preet Singh, Sai Pallavi cast as female leads
Suriya will star alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Sai Pallavi in director Selvaraghavan's NGK which has been confirmed for a Diwali release this year.
It has already been reported that superstar Suriya's upcoming movie is a collaboration with filmmaker Selvaraghavan and is titled NGK. The poster of the movie was released in March and the full form of NGK is rumoured to Nanda Gopalan Kumaran.
On the movie's poster, Suriya was seen in a colourful avatar with a thick beard and strongly resembled a young Che Guevara. This gave rise to speculations that Suriya will be playing a rebel leader in NGK. While the movie was confirmed to be a Diwali release, the recent Kollywood strike hinted that the film could miss the festival release date.
But after AR Murugadoss confirmed Vijay’s Sarkar for this Diwali, Selvaraghavan took to Twitter to reconfirm that NGK will also be a Diwali release.
Lights on for a long schedule from today.
Lights on for Diwali. 👍 @Suriya_offl#NGKFromDiwali #NGKFire pic.twitter.com/yiETO7RbVB
— selvaraghavan (@selvaraghavan) June 19, 2018
NGK stars Rakul Preet Singh and Sai Pallavi as the leading ladies. It is being produced by Dream Warrior Pictures.
NGK’s art director, Vijay Murugan, constructed a massive set worth Rs 3 crore to recreate Ambasamudram, a town in south of Tamil Nadu. More than 220 workers toiled day and night to construct the set. Sivakumar Vijayan, the cinematographer who received critical acclaim for his work in Irudhi Suttru and Iraivi, is cranking the camera for NGK. Selvaraghavan's frequent collaborator, Yuvan Shankar Raja, is composing the music.
After NGK, Suriya has a film with cinematographer-turned-actor KV Anand with whom the actor has previously worked in Ayan and Maatrraan.

Hanna Chiou and Anne-Louise Nieto are mompreneurs on a mission to raise their three children under three while also reshaping the toy industry and building a community. Their new venture, Habbi Habbi, is an experiential toy store and playroom with its first retail shop at the Stanford Shopping Center in the heart of Silicon Valley. All products sold are curated to fit the founders’ values of fostering health, happiness and humility in kids. The space is inspired to be museum meets playroom meets home, intended to encourage discovery, play, and learning.
Prior to founding Habbi Habbi, Chiou and Nieto both were MBAs working as management consultants at BCG, where they did consumer and retail work in the US, China, Korea and Australia. They are dear friends who have known each other for 15 years and when they became new mothers, they began thinking about what makes an “intentional home environment for kids.” The business and all its activities flowed from seeking answers to that question.
“We marvel all the time at how lucky and privileged we are to be able to do what we’re doing with Habbi Habbi,” say Chiou and Nieto. “Whether it’s discovering an incredible product, designing our next retail space, interviewing other parents, or creating a new partnership, we love that it all stems from our quest to nurture kids. We are thrilled when we hear from parents how much they love the space and when we see the delight on kids’ faces when they come in and play. We also find fulfillment in the ability to create and shape our lives. Being entrepreneurs is not easy (especially when you are moms to young children!), but we find so much meaning in being able to invent and create something we think the community needs.”
The greatest challenge Chiou and Nieto face is the ever-elusive quest for balance. “There is so much we’d like to do, especially as we are setting out to grow. But we also want to be present for our kids and families,” they said. While they are the first to note they haven’t got everything figured out quite yet -- they’ve also learned a lot along the way.
Here are some of Chiou and Nieto's reflections on finding balance from their experience raising young children and nurturing a new business:
- Lean on your partner and your village. If you’re lucky enough to have someone to lean on, do so. We are both incredibly fortunate to have supportive husbands who understand when we can’t be there and who not only fill in, but cheer us on. There are other places to find support, too. Some people look to multi-generational shared living. Some seek an open-door neighborhood community feel. Regardless of who or how many people, it’s helpful to ask, ‘Who can I lean on for support? Who is part of my village?’ Whether it’s help with school pick up, advice on toilet training or childcare during an elusive date night, we lean on our village for support all the time.
- Take care of yourself. One of our primary values at Habbi Habbi is self-care. We try to remind ourselves that we can’t take care of others well if we aren’t taking care of ourselves. It takes conscious effort to prioritize and schedule it in, just like we would any other important meeting. As an example, right after the exhaustion of our first shop buildout, we set up weekly leadership hikes for the two of us to decompress, exercise, be out in nature and away from the computer, avoid talking about tactical action items, and give space to our vision and relationship.
- Take comfort from the fact that life has different chapters and stages. You don’t have to figure it all out immediately. One of the stories that has resonated so much from our Habbi Habbi community is of a woman who stayed at home with her three kids for 13 years, after which she returned to the workforce, got her PhD, and became Dean of a Business School. Maybe “balance” or “doing it all” is about doing things in stages - and acknowledging it’s ok to take a pause at different life stages and wait until our kids are older to push further in our careers.
- Forgive yourself; there is no ‘perfect.’ We struggle with balance every day, but we realize that is just part of life and being a mom. Any capable person with multiple responsibilities will always want to give more of themselves to things they care about. When we start to feel guilty, we try to remind each other that we’re actually doing great. At a conference we attended this fall, one panelist -- a mom and successful entrepreneur -- shared how, despite her imperfections, she reminds her kids that they ‘won the jackpot’ getting her as their mom. We love that!
To other people looking to align their work with purpose, Chiou and Nieto shared, “We try to avoid groupthink. It’s easy to be influenced by others and pursue the ‘hot thing.’ It’s also natural to be self-conscious if you take the path less followed. But those feelings and the need for external validation lead to inertia, inaction, and more of the same. We tell ourselves that those who march to the beat of their own drums are those who usually end up finding the most meaning, success, and fulfillment .”

Drake Shuts Down Meek Mill During OVO Fest!August 4, 2015
G98.7FM Entertainment News
Drake took things to another level last night during the final night of the 6th Annual #OVOFest, which has quickly become one of the years most anticipated music festivals. The finale (Monday) included surprise performances by Mississauga’s own/OVO Sound artist PartyNextDoor, Future, Skepta, a 45-Minute set by Kanye West and lastly, Pharrell Williams!
As if the guests weren’t enough to keep the capacity crowd at Molson Amphitheatre losing their mind, but Drake also added fuel to the fire of the on-going beef with rapper/Nicki Minaj’s man, Meek Mill.
A towering screen behind Drake displayed a “powerpoint presentation” of outrageous memes mocking the Philadelphia rapper while Drizzy performed “Back to Back” and teased a potential third (Meek Mill diss) song, “3-Peat”.
Nearing the end of his set, Drake payed homage to Toronto Councilor Norm Kelly with a bigger than life-sized image of the local politician. “Norm” (as he’s famously known on Twitter) has voiced his support for the Drake and leapt to his defence numerous times during the beef. He expressed his thanks over to last night’s gesture by tweeting “Honoured. #6ix.”

I just spent the weekend with my grandsons… They’re at those early ages where they switch in an instant from happy, loud, loving and adventurous to scared, mad, hurt and/or demanding.
It’s like they are trying on all sorts of new emotions, with an ease that is breathtaking!
Doesn’t menopause feel like that sometimes? I know I can go from ecstatic to the-world-is-ending, from I love you to don’t-touch-me, in moments.
Luckily I have over 50 years lead time on this little fellow, so I have some tricks up my sleeve.
When I am with my grandsons it brings home my responsibility, as an adult and a grandma, to show them how they can embrace their emotions and communicate feelings (without making others miserable). It’s my part in changing the status quo for little boys.
They are already learning to learn…and even though you may be several decades older, you may have realized, as I have, you will always be learning.
I am aware that both you and my grandson are looking for direction, for clues on how to keep growing and learning. This keeps me on my toes, helps me to be more true to what I love and am reaching for, and more honest about my foibles.
This is what leadership is all about. Not being perfect, always right, or never wrong.
For me it has a lot to do with this Dolly Parton quote:
If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.
I think I can help people to “be more, become more” by becoming more myself.
You are a leader, whether or not you would describe yourself that way. You have people who are counting on you, who take your example and use that to bolster them on their journey.
As women I think we have even more responsibility than men, because nothing in the world changes until we do. I see women leading cultural change because we are the glue that holds the status quo together.
When you change, when you take the risk to be a new example of what is possible, and other women are influenced to do the same – the “way things are” becomes unglued. And ultimately life has to reorganize itself around you.
As you have probably already experienced, this can be a messy process, but it works.
Think about it…
- Who are the people in your life that look to you?
- What is your influence on them now?
- How would you like to influence them in the future?
Influence is a different word than support. It implies a measure of force and responsibility that we women are often afraid of. Step into it, we need you.
There are too many people, companies, and institutions willing to exert influence for the wrong reasons, we need a positive counterforce! Imagine if all the women over 40 understood and stepped up to this?
Allow this burden of responsibility to pull you towards the risky business of being more of who you are, or stepping outside the accepted boundaries.
Lets create a new and better status quo for men and women by stepping even more fully and consciously into our roles as leaders and change makers.
Now tell me, what do you think of this perspective and what would you like to add to it from your own experience?

Huawei looks like it’s on to a winner with its Huawei Mate 10 phone. The company claimed that the new offering had broken all its records for a western European launch, exceeding sales targets by more than 100% and smashing the previous records for pre-orders in Western Europe set by the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus in March this year.
The Mate range of phones has not grabbed the same attention from customers as other Huawei products but this looks set to change. The new handset has garnered positive reviews in several different markets and has been praised as a strong contender in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Its review in TechRadar highlighted the long battery life – a particularly strong selling point for UK customers and the large volume of storage – 128GB, twice as much as its main competitors. Even the lack of a sharp screen and headphone jack weren’t considered as detractions. Customers are certainly impressed – although the drive for orders may have been helped by the offer of a Moleskine Smart Writing Set, a deal available to all customers across Europe.
Walter Ji, president of Huawei Consumer Business Group, Western Europe said: ‘The reaction to our new Huawei Mate 10 Pro has been unprecedented – media have given the device very positive reviews and that is resulting in strong demand, even before we have begun selling on the high street. The new Mate 10 Pro and its AI capabilities have shown how amazing technology can empower your life, and people all over Europe are choosing to embrace this powerful shift in the market.’
The Mate 10 Pro is available in the UK from all mobile providers.

Only 2.5 million BTC available
If you’re a Bitcoin (BTC) holder, and a crypto fan generally, you’ll know that there was only ever 21 million Bitcoin are available to be mined. At the moment, there are just under 2.5 million BTC left. What does that mean for the price?
A Twitter post by ChartBTC revealed the Bitcoin network had already passed 18.5 million BTC in circulation, leaving 2.5 million, or 11.9% of the total, left for mining.
According to ChartBTC, these will be mined over the next four years. Since its inception in 2009, BTC has gone through three halvings, with the most recent occurring in May this year. Furthermore, as Cointelegraph points out: “As the issuance of new coins is halved every four years, the last Bitcoin is not expected to be mined until 2140. No new Bitcoin can be mined after that year.”
It also reminded us that a group of eight Crypto Valley experts thought the last halving was different from those in the past because more people are considering storing their life savings in BTC. One of the group said, “The power has shifted away from miners. They’re not in the same position as they used to be ten years ago or even five years ago […]. The stock is already so big and because today there is a lot of Bitcoin in circulation people are willing to trade and exchange.”
We have also witnessed a rise in institutional demand in 2020. For example, crypto asset fund Grayscale, recorded an inflow of $1.4 billion in capital, and the assets under management of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust rose from $1.577 billion to $3 billion, from March 17 to May 13.
New survey data showed that institutional investors intend to increase their Bitcoin allocations regardless of short-term dips in price. That is why the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — the Norwegian Government Pension Fund, also known as the Oil Fund — now owns 577.6 BTC.


Portions of the High Plains Aquifer (Ogallala Aquifer) are rapidly being depleted by farmers who are pumping too much water to irrigate their crops, particularly in the southern half in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Levels have declined up to 242 feet in some areas, from predevelopment — before substantial groundwater irrigation began — to 2011.
The article connected to this map from the New York Times can be found here. “Two years of extreme drought, during which farmers relied almost completely on groundwater, have brought the seriousness of the problem home. In 2011 and 2012, the Kansas Geological Survey reports, the average water level in the state’s portion of the aquifer dropped 4.25 feet — nearly a third of the total decline since 1996.”

A syringe filter is a small, disposable filter that is used to remove particulates from a liquid before it is injected. The filter is placed between the needle and the syringe barrel and is typically made of a hydrophobic material, such as nylon or polypropylene. There are several reasons why you might need to use a syringe filter. If you are using a medication that is a suspension, the filter will prevent the particulates from clogging the needle. If you are injecting a liquid that contains bacteria, the filter will help to remove them. And if you are injecting a highly viscous liquid, the filter will help to ensure that it flows smoothly through the needle.
A syringe filter is a disposable and self-contained type of filter that is designed to be used in a variety of applications. These tools are commonly used to remove liquids or gasses from a solution. In the market, there are numerous types of membrane materials. Filters made of disposable syringes are designed to be used in filtration systems that are both quick and efficient. The use of a wand syringe filter is the most efficient and cost-effective alternative to HPLC or GC sample filtration. The syringe usually comes with a disposable disposable syringe and a filter diameter ranging from 4mm to 50mm, as well as a capacity ranging from 0.5 mL to 200 mL. It is frequently used in sample preparation and filtration, as well as particle removal and sterilization of liquid or gas. Because of the high burst pressure, HAWACH syringe filters have been specifically designed to withstand this pressure.
Because the filter’s edge is threaded with an anti-slip element, it is simple to use and comfortable for operators. To ensure consistency in the analysis, each batch’s filter quality and differences in quality are balanced. Hawach Scientific syringe filters are ideal for fast and efficient water and organic solution filtration. They can be used in a variety of applications, including pharmaceutical, environmental, biotechnology, food, beverage, and agricultural product testing laboratories. Because of its membrane filters and polypropylene housings, the device has higher burst pressure and speed due to injection molding.
A syringe filter is typically made up of a plastic housing and a membrane that serves as a filter. You can clean the purified fluid by drawing it up through the filter or forcing it through the filter if the unfiltered fluid is left.
The purpose of filtration during the HPLC sample preparation process is to protect the pump from particulates in the solvent or from rubber components that may escape. To prevent clogging, HPLC columns must be kept clean and undamaged.
Because small particulates that can be visible to the naked eye can cross-pollinate and compromise your results, reusing them is not recommended.
What Are Syringe Filters Used For?
Injector filters are membrane-based devices that remove particulate impurities from liquid and gas samples prior to analysis via methods such as HPLC, ion chromatography, gas chromatography, ICP, and dissolution testing.
A single-use syringe filter cartridges are used to attach to the end of a needle. As part of the preparation process for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), you frequently remove particles from samples. These filter media can be used to filter water for a variety of applications and are very affordable. At Pipette.com, we look at the importance and application of these tools in a wide range of fields. When selecting a syringe filter, be sure to use one that is in line with the chemicals used in your research. It is best to use nylon, PES, GHP, and PVDF membranes when working with aqueous samples as well as organic solvents. If you use the wrong filter, extractables can elute in your samples. As part of our selection, Pipette.com stocks a wide range of quality laboratory syringe filters.
There are several advantages to using a syringes pump, including fast, accurate, and simple operation. The devices allow the user to set a target pressure, control the flow of fluids, and set a predetermined speed. Their speed and simplicity make them ideal for running experiments, as they can achieve a target pressure in as little as five minutes. High-pressure syringe pumps can be used to manufacture sterile parenteral drugs and eye drops.
Different Types Of Syringe Filters
syringe filters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of other colors. A sterile syringe filter is made up of two parts: a polypropylene or nylon body and a membrane made of Teflon, nylon, or other treated materials. Particles that enter the syringe through this membrane are trapped. Sterile syringe filters are used to purify or clarify sterile solutions. Nonsterile syringe filters can be used for both general filtration and sample purification. There are numerous types of syringes filters available. The most common type of filter is the kidney filter. A round or oval-shaped syringe filter is designed to fit most standard or wide-mouth needles. A dialysis filter is used to remove waste and clean blood. An inline syringe filter is another type of filter that is commonly used. This type of syringe filter is designed to fit into a standard or wide-mouth needle. Filters are used in water treatment to purify and clean water. Some types of syringe filters, such as butterfly filters, are also available. The butterfly filter is used in conjunction with a butterfly pump to clean and purify biological fluids such as blood and urine.
What Is A Syringe Filter
A syringe filter is a small, disposable filter that is used to remove particles from a liquid solution before it is injected into the body. The filter is placed over the needle of a syringe and the solution is drawn through the filter into the syringe.
During the analysis of a sample, the end of a syringe is connected to a syringe filter, which is then used to remove particles. The cartridges are circular shaped in diameters that fit common syringe sizes and remove fragments that would otherwise damage narrow bore equipment. Sorting, sterile filtration, sample preparation, and sterile venting are all examples of sterile applications. Please log in to your account on the site in order for stock to be displayed.

Syringe Filtration Technique
The syringe filtration technique is a simple and effective way to filter aqueous solutions. It is often used in the laboratory to remove small particles from solutions prior to analysis. The technique can be used with a variety of filter types and sizes, and can be adapted to filter solutions of different viscosities.
In the laboratory, the syringe filter is commonly used. They do not require membrane replacement or cleaning, making them simpler and less time-consuming to prepare. The housing for the syringe filter is made up of polycarbonate, polypropylene, and polyethylene plastic. Ultrasonic welding is used to fill in the cracks in the upper and lower parts of the frame. It is resistant to high pressure and does not leak. Biological samples, such as those obtained through media filtration or protein solutions, should not be subjected to filtration. A low-adhsorption cellulose acetate film (CA) is typically used in this case. Due to its high heat resistance and chemical stability, PVDF films are ideal for use in high-temperature applications. When exposed to acid, alkali, strong oxidizing agents, and halogen, it will not corrode.
Syringe Filter Pore Size
Syringe filters are designed to remove particulates from a variety of liquid samples, and the pore size of the filter is an important factor in determining its suitability for a given application. The size of the pores in a syringe filter can range from 0.2 microns to 10 microns, and the choice of pore size depends on the nature of the sample and the desired level of filtration. For example, a 0.2 micron filter is typically used for sterilizing liquids or removing bacteria, while a 10 micron filter is more appropriate for removing larger particulates such as cells or proteins.
Sterile Syringe Filters
Sterile syringe filters are used to remove bacteria and other contaminants from a syringe. They are typically made of a hydrophobic material, such as polypropylene, that allows only liquids to pass through. The filters are placed between the syringe and the needle, and the syringe is then filled with the solution to be filtered.
To filter, a syringe filter must be chemically compatible with the sample. Filters should not shed particles or fibers, nor should extractables be added to the sample being filtered.

Penn National gets early approval for gaming license
4 June 2010
LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Penn National Gaming took a "modest first step" Wednesday toward realizing the company's goal of acquiring a Las Vegas casino.
The Wyomissing, Pa.-based casino operator received preliminary approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board to acquire 1 percent of a small slot machine manufacturer and distributor.
Officials for the regional casino and racetrack operator weren't shy about their true intentions for going through the licensing process for such a small stake, though.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Peter Carlino told regulators Penn National "wants very much now to be in" Las Vegas.
By going through licensing now, the company will be able to move quickly if an opportunity for an acquisition becomes available, he said.
"Nevada is important to us," Carlino said during the hearing in Carson City. "We are angling as much as we can to find the right point of entry."
Penn National bid on the Fontainebleau Las Vegas before backing out of the auction for the suspended project last year. The company has also been rumored to be in negotiations to acquire properties from Harrah's Entertainment and MGM Mirage.
Carlino indirectly referred to those rumors during the hearing.
"Getting here is not as easy as we might have hoped," Carlino said. "You have two companies essentially controlling all the major properties in town."
Harrah's Entertainment owns eight hotel-casinos along Las Vegas Boulevard and the Rio just west of Interstate 15 on Flamingo Road. MGM Mirage owns 10 hotel-casinos on the Strip.
Penn National is also mentioned as a possible bidder in the Station Casinos bankruptcy auction scheduled for August.Â Penn National has also been mentioned as a possible suitor for the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, either as a buyer or as a manager for the Deutsche Bank-owned property.
Chief Operating Officer Timothy Wilmott described the company as a midmarket operator with a database of nearly 11 million customers.
Penn National operates racetracks and 16 casinos in U.S. cities other than Las Vegas and Atlantic City. The company is developing new casinos in Kansas, Maryland and Ohio.
Penn National established a subsidiary, Delvest Corp., to give the company the ability to move quickly should a Nevada acquisition become available, Chief Financial Officer Bill Clifford told regulators.
The subsidiary is not restricted by credit agreements and other financial restrictions that the parent company would have to be consider before making an acquisition.
Penn National is scheduled to appear before the Nevada Gaming Commission on June 17 for final approval.

We like to joke that if it’s something Americans enjoy, there is a liberal somewhere who wants to ruin it on you. Sometimes, it’s not that funny…like when they want to go after BBQing and tailgating…
After learning that the Environmental Protection Agency is funding a study that would literally let them into your backyard to check out the emissions of your propane grill, a Missouri Legislator has started a campaign to tell them to back off people’s backyard barbecues. On Monday, State Senator Eric Schmitt (R) from St. Louis kicked off a#porksteakrebellion after he discovered the EPA is funding a study on propane grill emissions that suggest pit masters use a special tray to catch grease drippings and a “catalytic” filtration system to reduce air pollution.
The $15,000 study financed by the EPA, is being conducted by, who else, the University of California – Riverside. It is set up to look at the particulate emissions you breathe when grilling over an open flame. Besides a newly designed “drip-tray”, the emission system would include the use of a “secondary air filtration system” that is composed of a duct system containing a specialized metal catalytic filter not unlike the one on your car that would clean the “exhaust gases” and would include a power driven fan, according to the study.
While the EPA has no plans to regulate your BBQs (at least, not yet), the study was part of the EPA’s “National Student Design Competition for Sustainability Focusing on People, Prosperity and the Planet (2014).” Experts estimate these regulations could add $200 to the cost of each outdoor unit.

Security big challenge in 5G, IoT sensors security non-compliant: Vodafone Idea CTO Jagbir Singh
Vodafone Idea Chief Technology Officer Jagbir Singh, speaking at telecom industry event India Mobile Congress 2021, said none of the IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) sensors are following security standards.
Network security remains a big concern in 5G services as none of the internet of things (IoT) sensors available at present are security compliant, a senior official of telecom operator Vodafone Idea said on Friday. Vodafone Idea Chief Technology Officer Jagbir Singh, speaking at telecom industry event India Mobile Congress 2021, said none of the IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) sensors are following security standards.
"We have 5G all around the enterprise. 5G all around IoT, M2M and all these devices. If you see today like IoT sensors, we have 8-10 million customers in Vodafone Idea. None of the sensors are actually security compliant.
"All these sensors which are there, all the M2M devices which are there, they don't actually follow security compliances. I think 5G is going to have a big challenge on security compliances," Singh said.
He added that the government and all operators should come together to ensure cyber security in 5G deployment.
“Issues related to the spectrum availability, significantly lower prices and easy payment terms need to be addressed on a priority basis. Access to adequate cost-efficient spectrum would be critical for making necessary network investments in 5G rollout in the country,” said Takkar at the India Mobile Congress on Thursday.
Singh said reasonable spectrum price, sharing of fibre and one-stop solution for right of way permissions are important for successful rollout of 5G services.
Bharti Airtel Chief Technology Officer Randeep Singh Sekhon supported the views of Singh.
He also said automation will be key in 5G services along with robust lab testing and fixing issues in the services.
"The device ecosystem also has to play Indian bands. It should not be that certain bands have been left out. We need to make sure that 5G devices come with all the bands and features supported as needed for mature 5G services," Sekhon pointed out.
Reliance Jio Group CTO Mobility, Shyam Mardikar said single window permission for physical infrastructure, electricity connection, among others, will play an important role in 5G rollout.
“Mr. Nayak would step down from his role as CEO and MD by the next Annual General Meeting of the company. The Board of Directors has considered his request and accepted the same. The Board placed on record their appreciation for the contribution made by Mr. Sanjay Nayak, during his tenure as CEO and MD of the Company,” Tejas Networks said in the filing.

Impacts of Telemanipulation in Robotic Assisted Surgery

Robotic-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is adopted more and more as it overcomes the shortcomings of classic MIS for surgeons while keeping the benefits of small incisions for patients. However, introducing new technology oftentimes affects the work of skilled practitioners. Our goals are to investigate the impacts of telemanipulated surgical robots on the work practices of surgical teams and to understand their cause. We conducted a field study observing 21 surgeries, conducting 12 interviews and performing 3 data validation sessions with surgeons. Using Thematic Analysis, we find that physically separating surgeons from their teams makes them more autonomous, shifts their use of perceptual senses, and turns the surgeon’s assistant into the robot’s assistant. We open design opportunities for the HCI field by questioning the telemanipulated approach and discussing alternatives that keep surgeons on the surgical field.
Robotic assistance to Minimally Invasive Surgery is realized today through a telemanipulated approach. We identify three unintended impacts of Telemanipulation in Robotic Assisted Surgery:
1. The Autonomous but Withdrawn Surgeon. The surgeon gains autonomy, as the telemanipulation console lets her control all the complex operations of the robot independently, however, overloading her cognition which can lead to errors in manipulating the robotic interface. Sitting at the console withdraws the surgeon, reducing situational awareness of other team member’s actions as well as social interaction with the team.
2. Shifting the Use of Perceptual Senses. The telemanipulation console removes haptic feedback and isolates the surgeon’s attention, limiting visual contact with the team.
3. From Surgeon Assistant to Robot Assistant. The surgical assistant’s tasks shift from assisting the surgeon (holding a tissue, cutting) to assisting the robot (untangling arms, changing tools).
In conclusion, robots bring enormous benefits to surgery, but their interface design can cause even greater drawbacks. Telemanipulation is one approach but not the only one. We encourage future HCI research to explore the continuum Surgeon-to-Patient distance as a design dimension, bringing the surgeon closer to the patient and her team, and thus making surgery minimally invasive not only for the patient but also for the surgeon.

Fifty minutes a day. That’s the amount of additional time men would need to contribute every day to caring for children and households to make a leap toward achieving gender equality in unpaid care, according to the third-ever State of the World’s Fathers report.
Girl Effect, the Government of Canada and Women Deliver just launched a new Initiative focused on engaging young people around sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Too often, middle-income regions like Latin America and the Caribbean are ignored in conversations about global gender equality and women’s rights and health.
There was a buzzing air of positivity at Women Deliver, and such a diverse mix of people spreading ideas and creating partnerships to make collaborative action possible.
When women are included in the climate planning process, not only do they bring in a unique perspective, but are also more likely to take part in solutions. When diverse perspectives are engaged in climate action, stronger solutions are more likely.
Increasing access to clean and efficient cookstoves and fuels can deliver dramatic gender impacts, while also improving health, protecting the environment, and enhancing livelihoods
The current shortfall facing groups like UNFPA is the result of a shift in donor funding priorities and an overall decrease in funding for development programs. There is no quick fix for that.
As thousands of advocates, policymakers and global leaders wrap up a week of discussion at the Women Deliver conference on how to transform our world, I can’t help but keep asking: WTFP?!
Mabel van Orange, chair of Girls Not Brides, said at this conference: “A world that has child marriage will never be a world where girls and boys are equal, a world where women are equal to men.” Here’s five ways we can build a world where they are.
I feel strongly that every woman, regardless of age or where she lives, must have the ability to decide her own future— including her reproductive future.

Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style of painting in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist.
The style was widespread from the 1940s until the early 1960s, and is closely associated with abstract expressionism (some critics have used the terms "action painting" and "abstract expressionism" interchangeably). A comparison is often drawn between the American action painting and the French tachisme. The New York School of American Abstract Expressionism (1940s-50s) is also seen as closely linked to the movement.
The term was coined by the American critic Harold Rosenberg in 1952, in his essay "The American Action Painters", and signaled a major shift in the aesthetic perspective of New York School painters and critics. According to Rosenberg the canvas was "an arena in which to act". The actions and means for creating the painting were seen, in action painting, of a higher importance than the end result. While Rosenberg created the term "action painting" in 1952, he began creating his action theory in the 1930s as a critic. While abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning had long been outspoken in their view of a painting as an arena within which to come to terms with the act of creation, earlier critics sympathetic to their cause, like Clement Greenberg, focused on their works' "objectness." Clement Greenberg was also an influential critic in action painting, intrigued by the creative struggle, which he claimed was evidenced by the surface of the painting. To Greenberg, it was the physicality of the paintings' clotted and oil-caked surfaces that was the key to understanding them. "Some of the labels that became attached to Abstract Expressionism, like "informel" and "Action Painting," definitely implied this; one was given to understand that what was involved was an utterly new kind of art that was no longer art in any accepted sense. This was, of course, absurd." – Clement Greenberg, "Post Painterly Abstraction".
Rosenberg's critique shifted the emphasis from the object to the struggle itself, with the finished painting being only the physical manifestation, a kind of residue, of the actual work of art, which was in the act or process of the painting's creation. The newer research tends to put the exile-surrealist Wolfgang Paalen in the position of the artist and theoretician who used the term "action" at first in this sense and fostered the theory of the subjective struggle with it. In his theory of the viewer-dependent possibility space, in which the artist "acts" like in an ecstatic ritual, Paalen considers ideas of quantum mechanics, as well as idiosyncratic interpretations of the totemic vision and the spatial structure of native-Indian painting from British Columbia. His long essay Totem Art (1943) had considerable influence on such artists as Martha Graham, Barnett Newman, Isamu Noguchi, Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko; Paalen describes a highly artistic vision of totemic art as part of a ritual "action" with psychic links to genetic memory and matrilinear ancestor-worship.
Over the next two decades, Rosenberg's redefinition of art as an act rather than an object, as a process rather than a product, was influential, and laid the foundation for a number of major art movements, from Happenings and Fluxus to Conceptual, Performance art, Installation art and Earth Art.
It is essential for the understanding of action painting to place it in historical context. The action painting movement took place in the time after World War II ended. With this came a disordered economy and culture in Europe, and in America the government took advantage of their new state of importance. A product of the post-World War II artistic resurgence of expressionism in America and more specifically New York City, action painting developed in an era where quantum mechanics and psychoanalysis were beginning to flourish and were changing people's perception of the physical and psychological world; and civilization's understanding of the world through heightened self-consciousness and awareness.
American action painters pondered the nature of art as well as the reasons for the existence of art often when questioning what the value of action painting is. The preceding art of Kandinsky and Mondrian had freed itself from the portrayal of objects and instead tried to evoke, address and delineate, through the aesthetic sense, emotions and feelings within the viewer. Action painting took this a step further, using both Jung and Freud’s ideas of the subconscious as its underlying foundations. Many of the painters were interested in Carl Jung's studies of archetypal images and types, and used their own internal visions to create their paintings. Along with Jung, Sigmund Freud and Surrealism were also influential to the beginning of action painting. The paintings of the Action painters were not meant to portray objects per se or even specific emotions. Instead they were meant to touch the observer deep in the subconscious mind, evoking a sense of the primeval and tapping the collective sense of an archetypal visual language. This was done by the artist painting "unconsciously," and spontaneously, creating a powerful arena of raw emotion and action, in the moment. Action painting was clearly influenced by the surrealist emphasis on automatism which (also) influenced by psychoanalysis claimed a more direct access to the subconscious mind. Important exponents of this concept of art making were the painters Joan Miró and André Masson.

Last Spring, a group of friends gathered to write and record music reflecting the joy and freedom they found in Jesus. The mission was simple: to celebrate the Gospel through song and to provide music for other groups of friends (churches) to do the same. From those simple sessions and conversations, Chapel Band was born.
This is what it sounds like when singers and musicians in Nashville get together to celebrate their freedom. A modern lullaby with a classic sentiment, "Hero" draws the listener into sweet, intimate worship of Jesus Christ, our greatest hero. "You Moved Me" is a riveting composition of thanksgiving and gratitude for the miracle of the resurrection. Just like the grave stone was rolled away when Jesus came back to life, so are we moved from darkness and death to light and life!

The last flower that withered left a note for you, for humanity to not exist anymore.
The forests, they cried in trees. The leaves turned red and fell on the ground that smelt of hunger but no food.
They eyes of the tiger speak no more, they are silent and dead since the last bullet hit his throat. Merciless killing, a pastime activity that humans have cultivated.
I am a wild beast, I’m extinction in making, you derelict human.
Do you fucking kill everything in sight your kind or mine?
Do you take pleasure watching these smoky skies after the fire has doused and taken many with it?
Why do you think of yourself as the greatest of all? Only because you can stand on two feet and act tall?
Why do you wish to belittle others, why not draw a line there, why on the throats of my brothers?
I am no longer speaking, I’m roaring in to your mind that sleeps in oblivion.
Wake up and stop killing us in the name of your madness, heed the cries of our sadness.
There is a reason the wolves drag you to their den, but where the fuck is their den? Where the fuck are their homes? You have taken over all. You didn’t heed our call, our desperate call.
Your concrete jungles have destroyed ours and we are no longer green, we are red with the blood of the fallen.
We shall leave this world when your dagger and bullets pierce through our skin, watching us tremble as our last breath is suffocating within, but we curse you, we curse your race which is an evident disgrace to ever exist on this land.

Karnataka Bandh today over Mahadayi river dispute; Schools, Offices remain shut
19:18, Jan 27, 2018
Copyright 2015 All rights reserved. This material can't be published, transferred, copied or redistributed.
Karnataka's Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy had on Wednesday urged pro-Kannada organisations and the other protesters to observe a peaceful Bandh on January 25.
The two BJP leaders along with MLAs Basavaraj Bommai and C C Patil squarely blamed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for instigating the protestors to create a law and order situation in the city and blame the BJP during the Prime Minister's visit.
"On account of the shutdown called by various organizations, as a precautionary measure, Wipro Limited has declared holiday for employees in Karnataka today".
Shah said within four years, more than 20 activists of BJP and RSS had been killed.
The 77km-long Mahadayi or Mandovi river originates at Bhimgad in the Western Ghats in Belagavi district of north-west Karnataka and flows into the neighbouring Goa and eventually joins the Arabian Sea off the west coast. Essential services including hospitals, medical shops, the fire department will remain open.
In view of the ongoing Mahadayi river dispute between Goa and Katrnataka, several pro-Kannada and farmer outfits have called for shutdown in Karnataka today. The outfits, which are protesting against the non-implementation of the Kalasa-Banduri dam project, want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the dispute between Karnataka and Goa, the Hindustan Times reported. We will show Siddharamaiah who is playing politics. "If not, we shall take out a rally in Bengaluru on February 4".
BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa, in a counter, has threatened to hold similar bandhs during AICC president Rahul Gandhi's rallies in Karnataka in the coming days.
Stating that neither Congress, nor the government, has anything to do with the bandh, he had earlier asked BJP to request Kannada organisations against organising the bandh. Is this some kind of advertisement or a sports programme for people to sponsor? "Why you have not made efforts to convince the Opposition Congress in Goa?" he asked.
The Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal, headed by J.N. Panchal, on July 28, 2016 rejected Karnataka's petition for releasing the water, citing various grounds including ecological damage the twin canal projects might cause.

This first full moon of January is known as the wolf moon because it is recognized as the time to hear howling wolves. This free event will begin during eclipse partiality at 5:30 a.m. on the West Lawn of CSU's Lory Student Center.

The essence of Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) is the effectiveness and efficiency of controlling the fans and other components of a ventilation system, by the ability to control in order to provide variable degrees of ventilation that may be required to handle variable occupancy levels.
This is achieved by using different sensors in order to provide an array of different detection modules which identify the level of spatial contaminant within the building (e.g. people, temperature, CO2, humidity etc). These sensors provide an almost infinite amount of possible variation to the ventilation system provided, so that it matches almost identically, the level of occupation within the area to be ventilated.
Furthermore, the intelligent system will interface easily with other enabling sensors such as Passive Infrared
PIR), Building Management Systems (BMS), Building Automation Systems (BAS), which means the customer can be alerted to changes in performance levels, energy levels or maintenance requirements.
Elta offer both Single and Twin fan ranges available in multiple sizes and motor arrangements, all tested to ISO 5801:1997 (airside performance) and to BS 848 Pt 2:1985 (sound performance) at Elta Fans own test facility, meaning accurate, up to date information on performance and noise data that can be relied upon.

WellbeingFIT was inspired by my own personal experience of mental health.
Underpinning everything I do both as a personal trainer and in my work to change our perceptions of mental health, are my beliefs that:
· Stigma’s surrounding mental illness need to be challenged – this can reduce the level of suffering for many people.
· We can work collectively as communities to support and empower each other.
· Exercise can positively affect our mental health – by simply moving our bodies in ways that we ENJOY, we can begin to prioritise ourselves and focus on increasing our level of self-worth.
Essentially, I want to help others in ways that I know it would have helped me during my most difficult times. If you suffer (or have suffered) with depression or anxiety and you feel that you need support to get moving and connecting with others, then get in touch.
I work within East Sussex and Kent. To see what I am doing at the moment keep an eye on my Social Media #wellbeingfitwithellie and check out my blog #WeGotThis.
A MESSAGE FROM ME
I am a mum of three and I have suffered from depression and anxiety since 2010. In addition to GP-prescribed medication, exercise gave me a sense of self-worth and achievement. Whilst I benefited from the advantages of exercise, I was unable to access any peer group and associated support – there simply were none. Therefore, my loneliness and detachment persisted.
In 2018, I had a lightbulb moment – I could combine fitness and mental health as a personal trainer! I attained my qualification as a Level 3 Personal Trainer with Exercise Referral in London; and I can now use my experience, qualifications and passion to enable fellow mental health survivors to sweat, connect and support.
Seeing what you are physically and mentally capable of can be incredible for your sense of wellbeing. Exercise is for everyone - so consider putting your misgivings and lack of confidence to one side and give it a try.

Published: Thu, 18 January 2024
In a resolute stance, Sean Kelly, MEP for Ireland South, has called for swift action and substantial aid for Ukraine to support the country facing Russian aggression, ahead of a crucial extraordinary meeting of EU leaders on February 1st.
“2024 is poised to be a year of global democratic significance, yet the reality is that a European nation, Ukraine, is grappling with the aggression of a power-hungry totalitarian. This is an affront to democracy and demands our immediate attention and action,” Kelly said.
Expressing concern over the uncertainty of the vital €50 billion special funding for Ukraine, which Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is said to be blocking, Kelly said: “The hurdles in securing this fund are not just bureaucratic; they are potentially life-threatening for the people of Ukraine. The escalating public deficit and the ongoing Russian attacks necessitate urgent financial support, which we must provide without delay”.
Kelly denounces Orbán’s veto as an impediment to solidarity among European nations: “Orbán’s selfish veto is a stain on Europe. We cannot allow the will of 26 Member States to be obstructed for his personal interests. However, I am hopeful that acceptable way can be found to alleviate this impasse”.
“Our aid should extend beyond finances; it must be strategic. We need to equip Ukraine with the tools necessary to defend itself and secure a better future for its citizens. This is not just about monetary assistance; it is about standing in solidarity with a nation under duress,” Kelly insists.
“Whether Viktor Orbán, Putin’s pompous puppet, likes it or not, we must ensure that our democratic principles prevail. The fate of Ukraine is a litmus test for the strength and resilience of European solidarity,” MEP Kelly said in a speech to the European Parliament this week.

SFO baggage handler accused of stealing due back in court
SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (KGO) -- A baggage handler charged with stealing items from passenger's checked luggage at San Francisco International Airport is due back in court Thursday.
George Reyes, 45, was a baggage handler for United Airlines.
The San Mateo County District Attorney's Office says an investigation was launched in March after United received more than 50 complaints from passengers that property was stolen from their luggage.
In a sting operation, police placed GPS tracking devices on iPads and purses and put the decoy items in checked luggage, according to the district attorney's office. The items were taken from the luggage, and the GPS devices tracked the stolen goods to Reyes' car as he drove home from work, district attorney's officials said. Prosecutors said a subsequent search of Reyes' home turned up more stolen property.
He was arrested in May.
Thursday's hearing may result in setting a new date for a preliminary hearing.

After throwing what coach Jack Cosgrove called a dumb interception into the end zone, Maine quarterback Marcus Wasilewski composed himself and led the Black Bears to a 24-14 victory over UMass last Saturday.
“I knew it was a mistake, a dumb play, but you are going to make mistakes,” said Wasilewski.
“But the most important thing, put it behind you.”
With his 267 yards through the air, Wasilewski moved past his coach (Class of 1978) into ninth place in program history for passing yardage.
The victory has Maine off to a 2-0 start to the season entering Saturday’s home opener against fellow unbeaten Bryant (2-0) at Alfond Stadium.

Julianne Hough Says She Doesn't Identify As Straight & Telling Her Husband Made Them Closer
Julianne Hough made a big splash with her recent Women's Health feature, in more ways than one. As Us Weekly noted, Julianne Hough opened up about not being straight in her interview with the magazine. And the America's Got Talent judge is being as open as ever when it comes to her very own self-exploration journey.
Hough appeared on the cover of Women's Health baring it all, as she appeared nude and in a very carefree pose. For the September issue of the magazine, which also happens to be its annual "Naked Strength" issue, she told a story about how she came out to her husband, Brooks Laich. She recalled, “I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.’”
It should be noted that Hough did not put a label on her sexuality, besides saying that she was not straight, and, as experts have noted, it is important to not put a label on her. As of right now, Hough is simply enjoying the fact that she can be so open about herself, especially to her husband. She told Women's Health,
“I think there’s a safety with my husband now that I’m unpacking all of this, and there’s no fear of voicing things that I’ve been afraid to admit or that I’ve had shame or guilt about because of what I’ve been told or how I was raised.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hough related that she's living as her "most authentic self" now, and it's even had a positive impact on her relationship with Laich, whom she's been married to since 2017. “I was connecting to the woman inside that doesn’t need anything, versus the little girl that looked to him to protect me,” she said, “I was like, ‘Is he going to love this version of me?’ But the more I dropped into my most authentic self, the more attracted he was to me. Now we have a more intimate relationship.”
While Hough hasn't discussed this facet of her life before, she's been open about even the most intimate details about her relationship with her husband. In early July, the former Dancing with the Stars pro appeared on the athlete's How Men Think podcast, where the two discussed the intimacy in their relationship, as People also noted.
“I can have chemistry and connection, but my intimacy with Brooks is because he challenges me, and he sees me for exactly who I am and accepts me for the fact that I can have chemistry and connection with a lot of people, but I choose him every day,” Hough said, and went on to describe their connection as one of the most "sacred" in her life. She continued, “I think that is also really sacred, and that’s why we have an intimate relationship. I don’t have that kind of intimacy with a lot of connections that I make throughout my life.”
It's great to see that Hough has such a big support system with Laich, especially as the dancer continues her journey of embracing her "authentic self."


Before I go any further, I have a nervous system disorder which severly limits my earning abilities, so I (very slowly) build all my own parts. Buying in off-the-shelf solutions really isn't an option.
I've got an offroad only SJ413 which I've been slowly modifying. It's got the 1298cc G13B in it, and I'm concidering a G16, and/or bike carbs.
I'm leaning towards buying a 1.6, and while it's out of the car do a full rebuild - perhaps porting and polishing the heads, making the intake manifolds for bike carbs etc - then drop the engine in and tune it up a little.
I've already swapped out the original G13A for a G13B (the original engine smoked like crazy, and I damaged the head whilst removing gasket residue during a rebuild - DOH!) so the thought of swapping in a G16A doesn't daunt me at all. It's got a homebrew side-draught carb setup (SU HIF44 clone).
With the engine up high, swapping in a heavier engine is a no-no (asking for trouble when I'm regularly at about 45 degrees with 6 inches of lift).
However, I really would like more than an extra 20ish ft-lb of torque. HP doesn't bother me all that much (like I said, it's an offroader - HP isn't *nearly* as important as torque) so the 75ish of an 8v is probably fine.
The engine will probably only power the car for a couple of thousand miles in the rest of it's lifetime, but they'll be relatively hard miles - 4 lo, often at high revs for short bursts. *ALL* offroad (in mud, shock loads won't be too high).
So my questions to you lot are:
1) Are a set of bike carbs going to react ok to the strange angles that my SJ spends a lot of its time at?
2) What kind of power increase am I likely to see (being conservative) from bike carbs on a 1.3?
3) and 1.6?
My goal is to eventually have a 120ft-lb engine. That may be unrealistic, but hey - a man can dream!

Retention Behavior of Crumb Rubber As an Aggregate in Innovative Chip Seal Surfacing
Statistics show that the world's transportation infrastructures are a primary contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. This paper introduces an innovative chip seal pavement surfacing that uses crumb rubber made from recycled tires as aggregates. A broad investigation on aggregate retention was performed. Eighty chip seal specimens with varied aggregate and binder parameters were examined for aggregate retention under five tests namely, the standard sweep test, a modified sweep test, the Vialit test, a modified Vialit test, and the Pennsylvania test. Four asphalt-based binders were examined including different types of emulsions and asphalt cement. Two mineral aggregates were examined in the tested specimens in addition to the crumb rubber. Results showed that the crumb rubber performed well in terms of aggregate retention. The Vialit and Pennsylvania tests indicated that the crumb rubber chip seal exceeded the performance of the mineral aggregate chip seals in terms of aggregate retention. The enhanced performance was primarily due to the low unit weight of the crumb rubber and its rough surface, that strengthened the adhesion of the crumb rubber to the binder. The sweep test results show that the mineral aggregate in chip seal surfacing can be replaced up to 100% with crumb rubber but it is recommended to increase the curing time before opening the roads for traffic due to the negligible water absorption capacity of crumb rubber.

ERASE Your Arthritis Pain FOR GOOD?!
Rheumatoid arthritis is a pain.
Not only does it cause progressive, debilitating pain in one or more of your joints… it’s difficult to treat.
The joint damage is IRREVERSIBLE… there is NO cure… and most mainstream treatments DON’T WORK.
But that’s all about to change.
Researchers have found a revolutionary new treatment that can SAFELY and EFFECTIVELY reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Here’s what you need to know.
A few months ago, I told you about a novel new treatment that improved irregular heartbeat – one of the most common heart problems in the world.
It involved stimulation of the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body, which stretches from your brain to your colon.
Having weak vagus nerve is linked to over two dozen health problems. And I knew that once researchers were turned on to the benefits of stimulating this powerful nerve, more studies were soon to follow.
Like this latest one, which shows just how effective vagus nerve stimulation is against rheumatoid arthritis.
For this study, researchers planted a vagus nerve stimulator (a neurostimulator called a MicrioRegulator) into 14 people with rheumatoid arthritis.
Some received vagus stimulation once a day, some four times a day, and some served as a control group (no stimulation).
After 12 weeks, the group receiving the once-daily stimulation experienced the most dramatic reduction in their RA symptoms.
They also had a 30% reduction in their cytokine levels, which is a measure of inflammation.
There’s good news and bad news about this study.
The bad news: these vagus nerve stimulators have to be surgically implanted—something I can’t see happening anytime soon. (And I’m saying it SHOULD happen, either.)
But that brings me to the good news…
You don’t have to get sliced open and have a stimulator inserted in your body… because there are plenty of natural, less invasive ways to accomplish the same thing.
These include techniques such as:
- Deep breathing using diaphragmatic breathing, or so-called belly-breathing
- Dipping your face into cold water or taking a cold shower
- Aromatherapy using lavender and bergamot
- Getting more omega 3 fatty acids and zinc by eating more oysters, salmon, and other seafood.
