According to officials, India’s first semi-high speed freight train is expected to begin operations in December. The 16-coach ‘Gati Shakti’ train will be produced at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai and would replicate the concept of Vande Bharat trains.
To hasten the ambitious project, the Railways has constituted a new directorate at the Railway Board with branches in Khurda, Bilaspur, Delhi, and Bengaluru divisions in order to implement the PM Gati Shakti initiative in a targeted manner. “Design work on these trains has already begun.” We’ve also placed a material order… We will be able to produce two of these trains by December of this year,” ICF General Manager A K Agarwal said, adding that an overall target of 25 such trains has been established.
He noted that the final number of trains will be determined by how well the initial ones are welcomed by the market. According to officials, the Railways intends to target the e-commerce and courier parcel segments with these trains. Each train will also feature refrigerated carriages in the back and front to transport perishables such as milk, fish, fruit, and vegetables.
The coach will provide an electrical connection for these vehicles. The container will be moved using rollers in the remaining coaches. For loading and unloading the containers, each coach will have two broad doors. According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, India would be the ninth largest e-commerce market in 2020, with a revenue of USD 50 billion.
“India’s e-commerce market is estimated to reach USD 111 billion by 2024, USD 200 billion by 2026, and USD 350 billion by 2030,” the official said, adding that Indian Railways intends to grab tiny parcel shipments by operating specialised high-speed freight trains.
According to the National Rail Plan, the Indian Railways aims to raise its freight transportation share from 27% to 45% by 2030 through improved infrastructure and commercial development strategies.
Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious ‘Gati-Shakti Multi Model Cargo Terminal’ programme, the Indian Railways has identified 74 new ‘Gati-Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal (GCT) locations around the country, with 20 of them in South Indian states.
The programme was implemented in 2021 to encourage investment in the establishment of additional rail cargo terminals.

Are true love real, according to scientific research?
We’re all born with the brain neurocircuitry to see one more individual as even more unique than anyone else.
An picture of a female using heart-shaped glasses that have a shape of one more individual in the representation, who is surrounded by sparkles and flowers. Amir Levine is a psychiatrist as well as the co-author of the book “Attached: The New Science of Grownup Accessory as well as Just How It Can Help You Discover and Maintain Love.”
For humans, naturally speaking, soul mates are entirely real. But just like all connections, soul mates can be complicated.
Certainly, there isn’t a scientifically agreed-upon meaning for “soul mate.” But people remain in a tiny club in the animal kingdom that can form long-term connections. I’m not talking about sex-related monogamy. Humans evolved with the neurocircuitry to see an additional individual as special. We have the capability to solitary someone out from the group, boost them most importantly others and after that invest years with them.
In other words, soul mates are made possible for us due to the way our mind is wired Joker X Reader Soulmate Au.
What’s fascinating to me is that we are all one-of-a-kind. Our DNA is special. Our faces are unique. Our minds are distinct. And yet all of us have the brain neurocircuitry to see one more individual as even more special than anyone else. What occurs when we make someone special like that is they come to be better than others. There’s a great deal more at stake whether they call us or don’t call us.
Enroll in the Well+ Being e-newsletter, your resource of expert guidance as well as simple suggestions to assist you live well every day
We take this capacity for given, but in the animal kingdom, it’s not that common. That neurocircuitry is called set bonding. There’s a little rodent called a prairie vole that has a version of it. Meadow voles are grayish-brown, mouse-like animals that do not look particularly unique. Unless, obviously, you’re another meadow vole.
When one meadow vole discovers an additional, they mate once, which’s it. They gather with each other and also adhere to each other almost everywhere. What’s fascinating is that there are really similar voles, the montane voles and also field voles, that are promiscuous. The distinctions in the minds of these two rodents has actually ended up being a timeless way of examining the biology of monogamy as well as set bonding.
It ends up pasture voles have more oxytocin and also vasopressin receptors in their striatum, the area of the mind that’s associated with reward. These hormonal agents are connected to feelings of count on, love and bonding. It’s a distinction that enables grassy field voles to create closeness with their companions.
But even within the species, meadow voles can develop various degrees of accessory. Some voles have more oxytocin receptors and also some less. Some are extra attentive to their companion– they groom and also lick them much more compared to other prairie voles. And there are wandering prairie voles that have ” events.”.
We see this irregularity in people too. We can differ considerably in the toughness of the bond we produce. Some individuals have more caregiving propensities; some individuals have much less. Joker X Reader Soulmate Au
8 means to really feel less anxious about things beyond your control.
Triggers and also scents.
The million-dollar question is: Exactly how does the trigger happen, as well as why do we obtain brought in to some people as well as not others? The legislations of attraction are not completely recognized. There are a lot of psychological theories, not at all backed by scientific research. Some individuals claim we’re seeking our parents. However research studies offer a different view on this.
When you look at the neuroscience research, you see that for rats that are virginal, it’s scent that bonds them with each other. For people, it’s probably about sight as well as odor.
We have a very developed aesthetic system, as well as study has shown appearance is an integral part of how we choose our companions. Their body odor ends up being calming to us and might even help preserve the relationship.
We consider a person, and also smell them, and they simply make sense to us.
Naturally talking, close relationships are a type of soul mate as well. People that come to be friends often have an immediate fondness for one another. We understand that buddies have similar mind patterns. A research study this year found that close friends– the scientists concentrated on close friends who quickly “clicked”– smell more alike than individuals who didn’t form close relationships.
In the research study, researchers chose 20 collections of buddies and also gathered body smell samples by inquiring to put on the very same Tee shirts for a couple of days. The scientists made use of an digital nose to determine the chemical fingerprint of each person’s body smell. They contrasted close friends and sets of arbitrary complete strangers as well as found that the chemical trademarks of the “click good friends” were considerably much more comparable than people assembled at random.
Joker X Reader Soulmate Au: Exactly how sitting throughout the day can create health issue– even if you work out.
Yes, you can have more than one soul mate.
The obstacle with true love is that they can end up being etched in our mind. It’s a powerful biological system we have to regard, and also it requires time to get over a person and recover, whether it be a separation or a loss.
Yet right here’s where it obtains made complex. This capacity we need to make someone unique– our brains can do it over and over. That’s why we can have greater than one soul mate in our lives.
My longtime pal and mentor, that passed away just recently, had a relationship with a male for years. After that he died of cancer cells.
For years, she lived alone without having a connection. When she was 82, she began speaking about this individual she had actually satisfied. She began mentioning him increasingly more. And after that she informed me she had fallen in love, as well as he was moving in with her– besides those years.
For eight years, up until her death, they lived together and also took a trip the world.
Some individuals believe there’s just one true love in our lives. However that stands in the method of assuming you can discover someone else after a break up and more than happy.
The evidence is almost everywhere you look.
It advises me of these next-door neighbors in my previous building in Manhattan. I didn’t know them well, but I always assumed they were such a adorable pair. The other half was gregarious as well as pleasant, and also she was all smiles.
Someday, I saw the other half, as well as she appeared various– gone was her smile, and also she looked incredibly depressing. The concierge informed me her spouse had actually dropped dead of a cardiac arrest. For a-year-and-a-half, she seemed pain harmed. It was heartbreaking. She obtained a elderly golden retriever that followed her all over, and that obtained her out and also around. However she remained to be sad.
After that I saw her walking into the building, and also she was all grins again. “She appears like a various individual. It’s so good to see her pleased once more,” I believed. I discussed it to our concierge. He told me she had fulfilled somebody brand-new.
A week later on, I saw them in the elevator holding hands. It loaded me with happiness.
This capacity to find a true love also after the loss of a great love is one of the reasons I enjoy this field a lot: There is a lot hope. As a therapist and also a neuroscientist, I assist individuals with this indelible strong biology, since if we feel in one’s bones exactly how to push it sufficient– to help coach individuals in the appropriate direction– the work is mainly done. Biology takes control of and overviews a lot of the rest.

A “hot-headed” young man who murdered his girlfriend’s baby daughter has been jailed for a minimum of 18 years.
Davey Everson, 23, was said to have “used inappropriate and excessive force” during the short life of three-month-old Millie-Rose Burdett, and had become “riled” that the child had begun to look like her biological father.
Millie-Rose died on January 11 2019 having been admitted to hospital the previous month with serious injuries including a bleed on the brain sustained while Everson was feeding her alone at home in Rickmansworth.
The baby was later found to have suffered 12 fractured ribs and two leg fractures, both existing injuries from before the assault, when she died, having been in a coma for nearly a month.
Millie-Rose’s mother, 25-year-old Kirsty Burdett, was handed a six-year jail term for causing or allowing the death of a child, having heard she tried to cover for Everson.
Sentencing the pair at the Old Bailey today (Friday, February 12), Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said: “One of the things that upset you, Everson, was that Millie-Rose was beginning to resemble her biological father, and that riled you.
“Being a father figure to the child was no longer an attractive prospect.”
Find out the latest crime news in your area, by entering your postcode below:
The court heard Burdett was in the bathroom while Everson was alone feeding Millie-Rose during a 20-minute period on December 15 2018, when the baby suddenly “went floppy”.
Prosecutors said it was likely he injured her by shaking or throwing her against a surface, such as a cot, in anger.
However, Everson never explained how the baby suffered fatal injuries, telling emergency services she choked and stopped breathing during a feed.
The judge said: “This was a sustained assault on a small baby.
“You lied to police and said she lost consciousness while you were feeding or winding her.
“The truth is that there is no reason for her to have lost consciousness, except for assault.”
Addressing Millie-Rose’s other injuries, inflicted before she was fatally assaulted, the judge added: “You caused her acute and lasting pain for half of her short life by breaking 12 of her ribs.”
She accused Everson, who denied murder at trial, of expressing no remorse.
The labourer, who was said to be of low intelligence, was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 18 years, less the 203 days spent on remand, before he can be considered for parole.
He was also found guilty of cruelty to another child, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.

The judge said Burdett was “in an intense emotional relationship” that affected her judgement, having got together with the volatile Everson while she was pregnant with Millie-Rose.
Everson, of Edmonton in north London, and Burdett were also handed four and two-month jail sentences, respectively, for child cruelty.
Following the sentencing Millie’s father said: “The loss I feel at the moment and have done for the last two years is something words can’t explain, there is a hole that will never be replaced.
“I am glad that justice has been served.
“I would like to place on record my thanks to the police and the Judge and jury for all their work in bringing justice for my daughter.”
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Iain MacPherson from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “This is a really tragic and heart-breaking case. Little Millie-Rose spent much of her short life in pain due to Everson’s cruelty.
"He has never shown any remorse or explained why he assaulted her.
“I would like to recognise the dedicated work of medical staff who tried to save Millie-Rose, and those medical experts who in the absence of any explanation from Everson, were relied upon to determine what happened to her.
“Thanks also go to Detective Constable Vicki Twyford who was commended by the judge today. The investigation team all worked tirelessly to establish how Millie-Rose came about her death and ensured that those responsible were brought to justice.
“Our thoughts are with the family members who genuinely cared for and loved Millie-Rose.”

⇑ Because the revised visors have been introduced in MY 2018 MX-5 vehicles, they were expected to be seen in MY 2018 124 Spiders as well, but that apparently didn’t happen. The re-design may not function any better than the first year’s version (they still can not be pivoted to the side or above the header), but there is no doubt that they not only look better, but the cover for the enlarged mirror seems to be much more robust.
⇓ The familiar MY 2017 visor for comparison…
For those that may feel the need to upgrade the visors, it appears that since the mounting configuration of the restyled 2nd-generation header trim assembly (which includes the visors) hasn’t been altered, know that it is an expensive direct replacement installation in our 124 Spiders, but you’ll have to source it from a Mazda parts distributor.
The new header is the same color (black), and for LHD vehicles, the Mazda part # is ND1F-68-09Z 02 (thanks Tobias). This particular part # comes with English airbag warning labels on both sides of the passenger-side visor (none on the driver’s side; see the slide show below). There are other part #s that accompany RHD, airbag labels in other languages, and assemblies that have the intrusion alarm bits included, but if you are replacing your header, chances are you can transfer those parts yourself.
Tobias observed that the airbag vinyl label removal process that works so well on the first-generation visors, doesn’t work so well on the new vinyl-wrapped visors, as the bonding is much stronger.
Apparently not satisfied with his first attempt at replacing the factory vinyl wrap on his second-generation visors with Alcantara to complement the rest of his interior, Tobias has committed to disassembling the entire header piece to allow for a proper job this time. He has provided details, along with additional disassembly photos of the visors in his new comment below, and I expect we’ll see a nice photo of the completed job in the near future. 🙂
Well, Tobias submitted photos of the finished product – him and his dad went over the top, and covered the entire header assembly with Alcantara! He states that the visors were pretty easy, but the rest proved to be pretty challenging. His Spider is one-of-a-kind now. See his comment for more photos and details. Thank you Tobias.
magoffin posted photos of his new header (see slide show above), and MikeL provided his online source, that sold him the unit without requiring a Miata VIN # (they accepted Fiat 124 as the intended vehicle). Per TX_Bandit:

The recent disappearance of a 23-year-old white college man in Boston has once again revived rumors that a serial killer, or a group of serial killers, is targeting young white men across the U.S. The disappearances have gotten coverage in every major local news outlet, and Facebook groups like THE SMILEY FACE KILLERS have started updates and discussions about the topic. This publication even devoted a piece to more deeply probe the supposed mystery. It’s worth noting that the police have roundly side-eyed the serial killer(s) theory.
But while the Internet is trying to unravel the supposed mystery behind these disappearances, no one is talking about the Black children who, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s report for 2016, make up 37.9 percent of the nation’s missing, despite only representing 12.85 percent of its population. The most attention the issue gained was this March, when the news that D.C.’s young people of color are going missing finally made it onto major media outlets. The only outlet to stay with the story has been Essence, which was one of the first outlets to talk about the issue until late March, at which point outlets like the New York Times and the AP finally decided to report the story.
It’s true that, as of late March, the number of missing persons reports is actually lower than average, according to statistics from D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department. But it’s also worth noting that there are more than 20 open critical cases for missing juveniles in 2017. The missing are all children of color.
The list is fairly balanced between young women and young men, though there are 11 missing girls, and 16 missing boys. But the immediate issue is not the number of children who are missing.
The issue is that when a white person goes missing, particularly a white woman, it’s an ongoing crisis. When a person of color goes missing, it’s a statistic.
I want to step out for a moment, and say that my aim here is not to diminish the horror of having one’s beloved family member go missing. These families are suffering, and my heart goes out to them. Losing a child is a terrible thing I would wish on no one.
But these white lives are valued more highly than the lives of young people of color. National news does not pick up individual cases of missing kids of color the way it does with white children. I’m certainly not saying we should start forming online conspiracy theory groups, like the one mentioned at the beginning of the article. I am saying, though, that we need to get as vehemently worked up about missing children of color as we do white children.
Why is this the status quo? Why, when I talk to a police officer friend, does he simply accept the reality of gang violence and continuing gang join-up in communities of color as a problem that can never be fixed or solved? Why do we dedicate so many resources to affluent white communities over communities of color of all financial levels?
Kids of color are dying, but they only go as far as police bulletin boards, becoming statistics in crime databases. Allowing this to continue is akin to assisting the murderers and kidnappers of these children.
Devoting more resources and media airtime to searches for white kids than to searches for children of color sends the clear message that white lives matter more than the lives of people of color. It furthers divides between two imaginary parties: “us” and “them,” with the unspoken idea that, if we started channeling any more resources to communities of color, white communities would no longer be well-served – worse, we may become as forgotten as communities of color.
The excuse that “this happens all the time” in communities of color does not make the situation any better, relatively speaking. In fact, it makes it worse. We need to be looking at the whys behind the high rate of disappearances in communities of color, and start the process of fixing the problems in a deeply-flawed system that helps keep disappearances and murders a common problem within them. As an enfranchised public, we are all culpable.
Let’s compare this situation to the most recent terror attack in London, which ISIS claimed. For the Western European country, Facebook switched on its Safety Check-In feature. But it didn’t for the two suicide car bombs in Syria that hit Homs and Damascus. The same thing happened in 2015, with the Paris attacks: the check-in feature was switched on for Paris, but had never been done so for Aleppo, which had been under constant siege for two years, and did not do so for the two coordinated December 2015 terror attacks on businesses in the Syrian neighbourhood.
Why? Because it happens there all the time.We’ve become so conditioned to these attacks in Syria that we don’t think it worth our time to keep ourselves informed as to the state of the people there. One life lost, 20 lives lost – it’s all the same to us, because we expect it.
I get it: when something is out of the ordinary, we talk about it. It’s news. But that doesn’t make it right.
Why should it only be considered news when white people are involved, or when it’s different? So what, if kids of color go missing “all the time”? By actively talking about it, and devoting airtime to it, we can start to help combat it. We need to treat these missing children in the same way we would treat any other situation about which we are gravely concerned: lobbying representatives, voting out those who don’t care, and staying informed and loud.
To put it bluntly: these young lives are literally in our hands. We have the responsibility to do something about it.

Comfrey - Symphytum officinale - 5 Seeds - Medicinal HerbRegular price R29.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): -Infinity%
Symphytum officinale is a perennial flowering plant of the genus Symphytum in the family Boraginaceae. Along with thirty four other species of Symphytum, it is known as comfrey. To differentiate it from other members of the genus Symphytum, this species is known as common comfrey or true comfrey. Symphytum officinale roots have been used in the traditional Austrian medicine internally (as tea or tincture) or externally (as ointment, compresses,or alcoholic digestion) for treatment of disorders of the locomotor system and gastrointestinal tract. The leaves and stems have also been used for the treatment of the same disorders, and additionally also for treatment of rheumatism and gout. Comfrey has been used in folk medicine as a poultice for treating burns and wounds. However, internal consumption, such as in the form of herbal tea, is discouraged, as it has been highly debated about whether it can cause serious liver damage.
Stevia - Stevia Rebaudiana - 300 X Sweeter than Sugar - Herb - SeedsRegular price R59.00 Save Liquid error (product-template line 117): -Infinity%
Stevia rebaudiana is a plant species in the genus Stevia of the sunflower family (Asteraceae), commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, which is widely grown for its sweet leaves, the source of sweetener products known as stevia. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, and some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations. With its steviol glycoside extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has attracted attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar sweeteners. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose it is attractive to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds studio Bluehole has opened up its zombie mode to its content-creator partners (think YouTubers and Twitch streamers) around the world. The developer gives those players access to a special version of the game that includes custom matches. Among the settings for that mode is the option to turn most players on a server into a horde of the living dead. I played as the undead in a handful of matches, and it is a big change from the core Battlegrounds loop. It is also long periods of nothing followed by bursts of excitement.
Here’s how this new mode works: Unlike in a standard squad match, where teams of up to four people all battle each other for victory, the zombie game has one human unit fighting against a giant group of zombies. In a custom room the squad size can change, so you can have around 90 zombies chasing down 10 people (or other configurations). The humans can still pick up all the weapons and use vehicles. As a walking corpse, you are naked, can’t use weapons or vehicles (and you’ll fall off and take damage if you try to stand on a moving car or boat), and you can only punch — no biting. It’s then up to the zombies or humans to wipe each other out.
I haven’t played on the human side because I’ve only joined servers that broadcasters set up so that they and their friends can play as the humans. I was stuck being a zombie. But you can imagine that it’s a lot like normal Battlegrounds. The humans try to find weapons and gear to handle encounters, except the big difference is that you’re facing an army instead of several other tiny squads. On the zombie side, the action was long stretches of sprinting in the direction of gun fire or a roaring engine, followed by janky melee combat where strikes never feel like they are connecting and other zombies keep getting in your way.
The mode divides the horde into smaller squads, so you can work together with a group of your fellow undead. That seems like a key to surviving as one of the walkers. But even if you don’t make it, it seems inevitable that the swarm will overwhelm the human players — especially as the safe zone gets smaller over time.
But even while working together and getting into direct confrontations with the living is exciting, it doesn’t make up for the rest of the match where you’re just turning on autorun and hoping that you’ll intercept the humans when they aren’t expecting it. Even if you do catch up with them, chances are they’re going to jump back in their jeep or boat and zoom to other side of the map. That’s really deflating when you’re a zombie and have to go right back to nonstop sprint.
I had some fun, but the zombie mode won’t have the same draw as the core game. Instead, this is probably works best as a distraction to break up the action with something different. And even then, this mode probably only works for livestreamers who have a lot of viewers who are willing to play as zombies.


Taiwanese handset manufacturer attempting to prevent US imports of Apple products in latest scrap between the two companies
HTC has filed a lawsuit in the US against Apple, accusing its rival of infringing its patents, and is trying to prevent US imports of iPhones, iPads, iPods and Mac computers.
HTC has also vowed to appeal against a ruling that found it has infringed two iPhone patents in a case brought by Apple at the US International Trade Commission in July.
The ruling is thought to threaten HTC’s business model of designing products around the Android operating system.
Its the latest spat between handset manufacturers with Motorola, Nokia, HTC, Apple, Google and Samsung all involved in one or more patent disputes.

Hello guys, in this article you will be learning What Is Loading Effect of Electrical Measurement such as ammeter, voltmeter, and a multimeter. So before reading, let’s understand the definition of the Loading Effect.
Loading Effect of Electrical Instruments
What is Loading Effect in Electrical Instruments
The loading effect of electrical instruments is defined as the degree to which the electrical measurements impact the electrical properties of a circuit. These measurements are mainly ammeter, voltmeter, and a multimeter.
Loading Effect in various Electrical Measurements
In electrical measurements mainly three types of instruments included such as ammeter, voltmeter, and a multimeter. So let’s discuss the loading effect of all these three instruments.
Loading Effect of Ammeter
An ammeter is an electrical instrument that measures AC or DC in Amperes. To measure the current flow in a given electrical circuit, the ammeter should be connected in series. The ammeter is designed for small internal resistance (10 – 100 Ω). Now for impact working of an ammeter, there are two possible cases exists:
In this case, the ammeter is connected to a low resistance circuit then the overall resistance of the circuit is dragged to a noticeable amount. So, this means that when an ammeter having a value of 50 ohms internal resistance is connected to a 100 ohms circuit then finally its value is rapidly increased to 3 times. So this finally results in an increase in voltage as well as current by 3 times.
Now on the other hand when the internal resistance of the ammeter is high the same value of impact is observed. And the parameter of an electrical circuit changes or varies.

Loading Effect of Voltmeter
A voltmeter is also an electrical device, this gives the potential difference between two points of an electrical circuit. A voltmeter is always connected in parallel with the electronic components for measuring the voltage. Voltmeters are designed especially for high internal resistance. It’s valued generally range from (10-20) MΩ. For voltmeter also two possible cases exist:
When we connect a voltmeter to high external resistance it overall value rapidly decreases. Let’s consider an example of connecting the voltmeter to external resistance of 10 MΩ and internal resistance of the circuit to 7.5 MΩ resistors in parallel. Then it is observed that the overall resistance changes to 4.279 MΩ.
In the second case, it’s observed that when the internal resistance is small and connected to high external resistance then it is observed that overall resistance is seen to be changed.
As we have observed in the above both cases change the working of the circuit thus we get appropriate results from the measuring instruments.
Loading Effect of Multimeter

Judge Finds Stacy Schuler Guilty In Sex Case
Schuler Sentenced To 48 Months In Prison
Judge Robert Peeler has found Stacy Schuler's guilty of sexual battery. She was sentenced to 48 months in prison and will be forced to register as a Tier III sexual offender and serve 5 years of probation.
Schuler will be eligible for parole in six months, Peeler said.
Prior to sentencing, parents of the victims spoke to the court about the damage Schuler had done and pressed for a high sentence.
Read Live Wire | | | |
After turning and smiling to her parents and supporters, Schuler was handcuffed and led from the courtroom.
Earlier this week, five former high school students testified they had sexual encounters with Schuler in her home.
The 33-year-old Schuler had been a teacher and athletic trainer at Mason High School north of Cincinnati since 2000 before resigning in February after being charged with sexual battery.
She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Her lawyers argue she had medical and psychological issues and doesn't remember the alleged incidents, and that students took advantage of her.
The prosecution's rebuttal witness Thursday morning said that, unlike experts who testified for the defense Wednesday, she found no sign that Schuler had a mental illness.

These genetic modification events take place within highly specialised B cell germinal centers, during the final maturation stages of B cells, giving rise to high-affinity antibodies which use CSR to switch from IgM to IgG, IgA or IgE isotypes.

Onne van der Wal startade sin karriär som besättningsman och fotograf på Whitbreadvinnaren Flyer 1981. Han skjuter både regattor, superyachts och hans bilder pryder ofta omslagen på Sailing World och andra seglingstidningar. Boktips: “Wind and Water“.
How did you start with sailing photography?
I was a crew member on Flyer, the Dutch entry in the 81-82 Whitbread race and took photographs during the race while I was running the bow. We won the race and I had some unique images that sold well and that was my entry in to nautical photography. I started my business officially in March of 1987, almost 20 years ago.
Which picture are you most satisfied with?
I have several pictures I am most satisfied with. My favorite is the shot taken from the mast head of Shaman in the arctic ice off Spitsbergen.
Best regatta to shoot?
Ville de Saint Tropez.
Worst regatta to shoot?
Who inspires you (other photographers)?
Carlo Borlenghi, Gilles Martin Raget and Thiery Martinez, the top European boot shooters.
What gear do you usually use/favor (camera/lenses)?
Canon EOS 1 DS MKII 300mm F 2.8 IS L lens is my best combo.
Any advise for those who want to become a better sailing photographer?
Spend the money on the best lenses you can afford.
Practice, practice, practice!! You can never practice enough and practice makes perfect. It’s not rocket science!!
Think outside the box and shoot some thing different, shoot stuff that’s new and exciting and has never been done before. Experiment a lot, try some crazy whacked out ideas, some times it does not work and other times you will shoot a winner! A picture people will remember you by!
How do you see sailing photography develop in the future?
I see the future of sailing photography crystal clear through my beautiful white Canon sports lenses!! They are the best and are worth every penny I have begged, borrowed and stolen to buy them with!!
Onne van der Wal was in the water. But he was not there by accident. On this shoot for Lexar, he was treading pristine blue water at the Grenada Sailing Festival and shooting one of his favorite subjects – sailboats. Most professionals would be reluctant to jump into the water with their gear, but not van der Wal.
For this shoot, the water provided not only a point-of-view that was beautiful and effective, but it also provided challenges that many professional photographers would never encounter. Because of the water, van der Wal is using a Canon 1-DS MKII and a Canon 15 mm lens, encased in a Seacam underwater housing. The lighting conditions for a shoot such as this can be challenging, with strong reflections or back-light at certain marks not making it any easier. “When shooting half in the water and half out, it’s best to shoot when the sun is very high in the sky,” van der Wal explains. “If I shot this when the sun was lower, like at sunrise or sunset, the water would appear very dark and I wouldn’t get the even light balance above and below the water that I wanted.”
There are also challenges to shooting a boat race that some photographers would never consider. “You have to be a good swimmer,” says van der Wal. “Sometimes, I’m in the water for hours on end to get the right shots, so I have to be able to tread water for as long as it takes to get my shots.” Due to his proximity to the starting and finishing lines at races, van der Wal also has also acquired the valuable skill of dodging sailboats. “Sailors often look at me as if I’m crazy, but being in the water is really the only way to get the sort of shots that I want,” notes van der Wal.
To say that Onne van der Wal got an uncommon introduction to the world of professional photography would be an understatement. His first venture into photography on a commercial scale was after the 76 ft yacht on which he was racing, FLYER, won the 1981-82 Dutch Whitbread Around the World Race. Onne had taken pictures of the voyage using gear that Olympus had given him specifically for this adventure, and the press was eager to publish the unique images that van der Wal captured while sailing around the world.
The versatility that Onne displayed early on in his commercial career is still a mainstay of the sailing photography that he does today. Onne has never been afraid to get wet or climb out on a masthead to get a great shot, and his in-depth understanding of sailing makes his work truly unique.
Because of the wet condition in which he often finds himself when shooting, Onne needs a memory card that is fast enough to capture an image at a split-second’s notice, and large enough so that he does not have to exit the water to change his cards. Lexar cards are fast enough and large enough to fulfill both of these needs. “Lexar’s high-capacity 133X cards allow me to keep shooting and shooting. Often, I can take more than 200 RAW images before changing cards,” van der Wal points out. “The types of shots that I take do not allow me to take the time to get out of the water, dry off, change memory cards, reset my camera in the housing and jump back in. Lexar professional memory cards have the capacity and the speed that I need to take as many pictures as I want, as quickly as I require.

Missouri S&T reports no active COVID-19 cases among students, employees
For the first time since the start of the fall 2020 semester last August, Missouri University of Science and Technology has no reported active cases of COVID-19 among its student and employee population. But university administrators and medical experts on Saturday said it’s still too soon to relax precautions against the virus.
“This is great news, but we cannot let down our guard,” says Dr. Dennis Goodman, Missouri S&T’s chief medical officer. “We must continue the steps we’ve taken throughout the academic year that have led to zero active cases.”
Those steps include requiring facial coverings in classrooms and common areas around campus, maintaining social distancing, limiting gatherings to 10 people or fewer, and encouraging people to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly, monitor their health for symptoms of COVID-19, and stay home if they are sick or have symptoms.
Missouri S&T reached zero COVID-19 cases for the first time Thursday, Feb. 11. The university posts updates on reported cases Monday through Friday on its COVID-19 dashboard.
Goodman notes that these numbers reflect only cases reported to the university and reminds students, faculty and staff to report any positive COVID-19 test results to the S&T Student Health Services team by emailing COVID@mst.edu.
Since the university began tracking COVID-19 cases last fall, 557 cases have been reported; 471 of those were student cases and 86 were faculty and staff.
“Last semester, over 2,000 members of the campus community were required to quarantine or isolate due to testing positive for COVID-19 or being in close contact with someone who tested positive,” Goodman and Ashley Wann, director of the Phelps/Maries County Health Department, wrote Jan. 11 in a joint statement to students, faculty and staff.
“This semester has been successful so far because of the diligent efforts of our students, faculty and staff,” Goodman says. “I want to especially commend our students for taking responsibility for their health and the health of others during this pandemic. By and large, they’ve done the right thing, even when it wasn’t convenient, and I’m proud of them.”

On October 11, we are supposed to celebrate the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus on October 12, 1492. What follows is a brief commentary of that historic event that might give you a greater insight as to what really happened.
Christopher Columbus was commissioned by the Spanish king and queen to find a westerly route to the Orient. In those days, they thought that by going west, they would reach the fabled lands of China and Japan. They didn't know that there was a continent between the Orient and Europe. Spain was interested at the time in finding treasures in other parts of the world to fill their coffers with more money and to extend their empire to other parts of the globe.
When Columbus set sail with his 3 ships, he didn't realize what he was getting into. There are no records as to where he actually landed on his first voyage, because there were no maps at the time of the Caribbean Islands. It is believed by historians that he first landed somewhere in the Bahamas. He then headed for what is now Cuba and then to what is named the Island of Hispaniola that is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It is recorded that Columbus made 4 voyages to the Caribbean area of the western hemisphere.
In the United States, Columbus Day became a Federal Holiday in 1934. In 1892, the four hundredth anniversary, the celebration was taught in rituals and ideals of patriotism. In some states, such as Hawaii and Nevada, it is not a legal holiday. In Berkeley, California it is celebrated as "Indigenous People's Day" and in South Dakota it is known as "Native American Day".
Columbus Day has not always been celebrated as something to be proud of but as a day of mourning for the exploitation and extinction of native peoples that Columbus encountered on his various voyages. In some South American Countries, it is known as "Day of Indigenous Resistance" to counter Columbus Day and to resist the arrival of the Europeans to the Americas and is used to celebrate native races.
Not long ago, a statue of Columbus was toppled by pro-government activists in Venezuela They claimed that Columbus opened the door to the exploitation of native Americans by being stolen from, made slaves, killed and being forced to accept the religion of the Europeans. Columbus believed that it was his mission to convert the natives to his religion, Catholicism. That is why to this day that the Hispanic Americas are mostly Catholic.
Columbus wrote in his log about the natives that he encountered "They do not bear arms, and do not own them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They would make fine servants. With 50 men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want".
In 1495 during his second voyage, he transported some of the Indians to Spain as slaves and many of them died en route. He later wrote "Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity to go on sending all the salves that can be sold." A Catholic Priest wrote in his multi volume History of the Indies that the Spaniards were driven by insatiable greed, killing, terrorizing, afflicting and torturing the native Peoples. The Spaniards "thought nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades. My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature and now I tremble as I write."
Columbus was a social climber and self promoter who stopped at nothing, not even exploitation and slavery, to advance his ambitions. The exploitations of Columbus are nothing to celebrate in my humble opinion. The natives were not immune to the diseases of the white Europeans. The soldiers took advantage of the native women, raped them and soon European diseases took their toll on the natives by decimating their populations even further. Columbus was after gold and other treasures. He was ruthless in his conquest of the lands that he "discovered".
In 1990, 350 representatives from various Indian groups met in Quito, Ecuador for their first International Gathering of Indigenous People in the Americas to mobilize against the quin-centennial celebration of Columbus Day. Later, in Davis, California, more than a hundred Native Americans met. They declared October 12, 1992 "International Day of Solidarity with Indigenous People".
There has been a lot written about the voyages of Columbus to the so-called new world, both good and bad. I personally have a hard time celebrating
columbus Day, because to me it represents all that has been wrong with the world with all its cruelty and exploitations of human beings. We can't change the past, but we should learn from it. After Columbus ravaged the Caribbean Islands by enslaving and killing its native peoples, waves of other explorers came to the North, South and Central Americas from other European countries. The English, French, Portuguese and others came to further plunder the new world that they had discovered. The history of the killing and exploitations by our ancestors has not been a pretty picture.
The least we can do is recognize that human beings can be extremely cruel to other human beings that they consider inferior. It wasn't long after Columbus ravaged the new world before the new land owners brought African slaves to work their newly formed plantations. The past six centuries since Columbus discovered American, has been a time of great turmoil and suffering for indigenous and black people by their white slave owners.
If this country continues to celebrate Columbus Day, the least it can do is tell the truth about all the bad things that Columbus did. This country was founded on much suffering to indigenous and native peoples. As the United States conquered the lands west of the Mississippi river, the native people were almost wiped out by the white man. They were treated very badly by their white fathers in Washington by being forced onto reservations that were usually the worst lands in this country.
Human beings are still struggling to become more civilized. I hope we will succeed, because the past is not pretty. We still are fighting wars and occupying other people's lands. Will we ever learn to get along with each other and not exploiting other people?
Most of the information in this brief look at Columbus Day was taken from Wikipedia. I'm reminded of what I read recently by Gore Vidal "At any given moment, public opinion is a chaos of superstition, misinformation and prejudice".
I will not celebrate Columbus Day. I will not be a part of the festivities, because I don't feel like there is anything good to celebrate. I don't care to celebrate the cruelty he inflicted on other human beings whom he considered worthy of nothing more than by becoming slaves to the Spaniards. The new world was colonized by inflicting terrible suffering and death on the people who already lived there.

Blind kitty still loves to play hide and seek with her human
"Despite not being able to see too good, Belle loves to play hide and seek with me!" her human wrote on reddit.
"She gets around ok. I got her from a shelter and I was told she was around 6 months old. Bless her, she had the obligatory cone of shame on! The shelter vet gave her a clean bill of health, but it soon became apparent that something was wrong ad Belle would bump into door frames instead of walking through doorways, or would pounce on things but be slightly off target. I took her to the vet that I always use who referred her to an eye specialist.
Long story short : Belle was diagnosed with Retinal Atrophy, and is now almost completely blind. However, she's perfect in my eyes (39yr old beardy bloke from the UK)."
I bet you're wondering how well she can play hide and seek with her human. She must always lose, right??
Despite being blind, she always finds her daddy! She uses sent, sound, and her whiskers. She never loses!
:) This is just a little reminder that cats with special needs can make absolutely wonderful companions.
