At VCCircle’s E-commerce Forum held last week in Mumbai, the e-commerce heads of retailing heavyweights – Tata and Biyani – discussed offline and online commerce in India, why large retailers like them addressed the online medium and how they might combine online business models with offline play.
Tata Croma has 65 retail outlets across India and, as Techcircle.in has reported first, it is now working on an e-commerce storefront. The current site only displays a catalogue of products available on Croma. But the company is now trying out various other online-offline combinations to woo more customers than ever before. Kishore Biyani’s Future Group also had a resounding success with FutureBazaar.com, which underwent a redesign earlier this year and now claims to be selling more laptops online than offline. Other sites by the group include Pantaloons.futurebazaar.com and BigBazaar.futurebazaar.com. In the next three to five years, Future Group expects to see 10 per cent of its group sales coming from online channels – around Rs 65,000 crore in revenues.
Why Go Online
Kashyap Mehta, head of e-commerce at Infiniti Retail Ltd, which runs the Croma chain of consumer electronics showrooms, said that online stores helped increase the reach of retailers and set up a pan-India presence. The Internet is becoming increasingly accessible to consumers and it is regarded as a channel of ‘convenience’ that retailers must offer.
“An online presence helps in discovery of brands and products, as well as in research before buying. Offline retailers can set up multiple channels to tap various cycles of consumer interest – from initial curiosity to the final transaction,” he explained.
But the first step has to be towards creating an online presence – whether as a full-fledged shopping portal or just a placeholder. “Whether it’s e-commerce or not, brands need to be online,” said Anaggh Desai, CEO of Bombay Stores, another offline retailer who participated in the panel discussion.
According to Desai, offline players are seeking to go online as it is a ‘no option, no brainer’ choice and is akin to logging onto Facebook. The costs of setting up an online store are also lower than a physical one. Yet, Bombay Stores took a year to decide why it should go online, considering that most of the websites being launched were not commerce-enabled. Finally, the retailer came up with a soft launch of its site in mid-2010. Bombay Stores expects one-ninth of its sales to come from the online medium this year.
Rajiv Prakash, advisor (digital businesses) at FutureBazaar said, “Our idea is to take a social and digital commerce approach. We are adopting various digital influences – from increasing awareness through to marketing, as well as aiding in research, by offering information that is often unavailable in the physical stores.” Now, the company is working on the longer tail of merchandising.
Challenges faced by retailers are different, compared to e-commerce start-ups. “Offline retailers suffer from strategic challenges due to a different mindset,” said Mehta. Another challenge for retailers is converting an online user into a buyer. Online conversion rates vary between 2-5 per cent; however, it is around 20-30 per cent offline.
But there were always surprises in store. When Bombay Stores replicated their offline model online, they noticed that their top categories (artefacts, home décor and gifts) were not selling on the Net, noted Desai.
The question, as Mahesh Murthy (Managing Partner, Seedfund, and moderator at the panel discussion) put it, is a bit tricky: Is the future of e-commerce not pure online? Convergence of online and offline is becoming crucial, especially as consumer electronics buyers conduct research offline at the stores where they can try out various gadgets and then go online to find the best deals. Does it indicate that stores will soon become mere display windows and the point-of-sale will be shifting towards online?
Convergence would also mean marrying online features with the storefront, said Prakash of FutureBazaar. Mehta of Infiniti Retail posited that two models would co-exist – Web2Store and Store2Web.
Croma will endeavour to draw in buyers by offering both online and offline benefits at its outlets. The retailer plans to set up kiosks at its small format Zip retail stores located in airports – so that consumers can do product research and check for the best deals available, as well as purchase the gadgets directly from the physical outlets.
According to Desai, hybrid models adopted by online travel agencies Yatra.com and Via, or matrimonial sites like Shaadi.com and BharatMatrimony will be replicated by offline retailers. “There is relevance to offline play, as travel and matrimonial companies have adopted them,” he said.

The Almuñécar fire service were out yesterday morning trying to get a lorry back onto the road after suffering a front-tyre blowout.
The small-sized lorry had ended up balancing at an angle. Apart from a rapid digestive movement, the driver was unharmed.
The accident took place between 07,30h and 08,30h on the autovía access road that links the A-7 to the Taramay N-340 roundabout. The Policía Local and the fire service were despatched to the scene; the former to redirect the traffic and the latter to right the lorry and get it out of the rain channel.
It took about an hour to achieve this, using one winch to stop the vehicle from toppling and another to winch it out.

Frenchay is a suburb of
Bristol, England, to the north east of the city, but located mainly in South Gloucestershireand the Civil Parish of Winterbourne.
Frenchay was first recorded in 1257 as "Fromscawe" and later as "Fromeshaw", meaning "the wood on the Frome". [cite book |last=Burrough |first=THB |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Bristol |year=1970 |publisher=Studio Vista |location=London |isbn=0289798043 ]
The suburb is situated between the B4058, which runs parallel to the
M32 motorway, and the wooded River Frome valley.
Frenchay is now dominated by the large Anglican church of John the Baptist, adjacent to the large village common, which is overlooked by many period houses. The village also contains a
Catholicchurch and a Unitarianchapel.
The main campus of
University of the West of Englandis situated in Frenchay, and there is a small business park nearby.
Frenchay is also home to
Frenchay Hospital, greatly expanded during World War IIfor the US Army, which treated many wounded soldiers returning from the D-Daylandings in Normandy. Frenchay is still one of Bristol's major hospitals. Its facilities have been greatly extended in recent years, although wartime buildings are still much in evidence.
Frenchay Park, an adjacent suburb, is situated within Bristol city limits.

Using a 150ml Syringe to Clean a 3D Printer’s Resin Vat
Back in January, I wrote about Daniel Herrero’s “hack” of using a peristaltic pump to clean out his resin vat for his 3D printer. And then, based on comments to his post, he got a better idea: using large syringes to suck out the remaining resin. He experimented and determined that a 150ml syringe works best.
Again, comments to the rescue. He complains about the hard plastic syringe head scratching his FEP film at the bottom of his vat. Commenters suggested adding a short bit of rubber tubing to the tip of the syringe. He also mentions the resin scraper that comes with printers scratching the FEP and viewers remind him that a silicone plastic spatula (I got mine from the dollar store) won’t scratch the film.

A Long Island politician and renowned physician was arrested for trying to trade pills for sexual favors, authorities said Wednesday.
Dr. William Spencer, a legislator for Suffolk County’s 18th District since 2012, was nabbed Tuesday in a parking lot behind a Goodwill store in Commack, where he believed he was meeting a prostitute, the District Attorney’s office said.
An undercover police officer had contacted Spencer earlier that day posing as a hooker — and the legislator allegedly agreed via text to trade the narcotics for a sex act.
Spencer, 53, showed up to the arranged meeting in a county-issued vehicle and had two oxycodone pills on him when he was arrested, according to a criminal complaint.
The Democrat was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, both class B felonies.
District Timothy D. Attorney Sini said law enforcement agencies will continue to “hold criminals accountable no matter who they are or what their walk of life is.”
“This investigation is very much ongoing, and justice will be served in this case,” Sini said in a statement.
Spencer — who has advocated for opioid addiction prevention — was arraigned in Suffolk County court Wednesday and released without bail.
He’s due back in court on Feb. 26. If convicted of the top count, he faces a maximum sentence of nine years in prison.
In addition to being a legislator and a well-regarded doctor, Spencer is also an ordained minister.
The ear, nose and throat doctor’s privileges at Huntington Hospital were temporarily suspended pending an investigation and he no longer serves as the Chief of Otolaryngology there, the DA’s office said.
NBC New York first reported his arrest late Tuesday.
Spencer didn’t return messages from The Post left on Tuesday and Wednesday.
His arrest was the result of an operation by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Long Island Heroin Task Force.

MaddAddam is the final part of a trilogy that began in 2003 with Oryx and Crake and continued six years later with The Year of the Flood. MaddAddam both completes the series and remixes its opening episodes, which is apt, as motifs of storytelling, splicing, origins and endings run throughout Margaret Atwood's new work.
The plot is rudimentary, but in its final stages tense and exciting. At the centre is a band of rag-tag survivors who have out-lasted a global pandemic sent to cleanse the planet of mankind once and for all. Atwood's misfits forage, cook, bicker, reminisce about decent coffee, have sex, hold secret crushes, and try desperately not to die. There are many ways this can be accomplished. There are monster pigs (part Homer, part Orwell) who rage whenever one of their number ends up in a bacon sandwich. Even worse are the "Painballers": rogue psychopaths who found superstardom through a sport that makes Rollerball look like crown green bowling.
After an entente cordiale with the hogs, the tribe declares war on the Painballers. The final conflict takes place, with ironic symmetry, at the Egg, the laboratory in which the Crakes were conceived. Atwood's characters come full circle, but whereas Book One was concerned with birth and rebirth, MaddAddam has a death-soaked sense of ending.
Atwood opens with a handy re-cap that parodies long-running TV series ("The story so far") and the chapter summaries of 18th-century fiction: "The story of the Egg, and of Oryx and Crake, and how they made People and Animals." This precis does more than make MaddAddam accessible to readers who are unaware of Oryx and Crake. It introduces Atwood's diverse acts of narration. MaddAddam's action and characters are presented and re-presented in a series of self-consciously dramatised storytelling sessions – with a teller and an audience – that marry the directness of oral traditions to Atwood's characteristically robust, but written prose.
The longest sections are told by our hero, Zeb, to our heroine, Toby. These accounts of his life and adventures become a kind of love story. Not that Zeb's subject is romance: he's keener on sex, his cult-leading father, his brother, Adam, and his life as a computer hacker. Instead, these intimate acts of confession and revelation help bring Zed and Toby together after years spent flirting too subtly for their own good.
At the end of each day, Toby recycles these tales, and others, for the Crakes. Her bedtime stories are part ritual (she must wear a battered Red Sox baseball cap, a broken wristwatch, and eat a fish) and part myth creation: a way to make a chaotic, violent and capricious world seem comprehensible – and even beautiful – for the gentle, child-like Crakes.
Told in simple prose, these sections are moving, but also very funny. Atwood is not always praised as a comic writer, but MaddAddam reveals a fondness for bad puns (Occam's razor becomes "Ock-ham" during a swinish encounter), off-beat one-liners ("I once had a conversation with my bra") and some inventive running gags. When Snowman-the-Jimmy yells "Fuck" in front of the baffled Crakes, an embarrassed Toby turns the curse-word into an abstract being, who is then absorbed into the Crake religion as a demi-god: "Oryx will be helping me," says a Crake called Blackbeard. "And Fuck. I have already called Fuck. He is flying to here, right now, you will see."
One senses Atwood pondering the joys, demands, and occasional burdens of her craft. While Toby is often inspired when explaining human folly, good and evil to the Crakes, she frets about the truth of her yarn spinning. Do her consoling myths explain life and death to the Crakes or mislead them about its grimmer reality? When Blackbeard finds his creators' skeletons, he howls: "Oryx and Crake must be beautiful! Like the stories! They cannot be a smelly bone!"
There are even moments when Toby tires of catering to the demands of her rabid audience. If Atwood is similarly weary, it doesn't show in her prose, which despite the occasional longueur yeasts itself up with the immediacy of improvised narration. This vitality seems acutely alert to its opposites – to finality and death, whether of her trilogy, her characters, the planet and one suspects her own life. "Is this what writing amounts to? The voice your own ghost would have, if it had a voice?" Toby asks at one point. Is Atwood surveying her legacy, literary and otherwise, out of the corner of her eye? Dedicated to her family, MaddAddam is an extraordinary achievement. The sort of loose, baggy novel at which Atwood has thrown everything except for the kitchen sink (there are no kitchens, or sinks, in Toby's world). It ends with a bravura meditation on the power, consolations and endurance of literature itself: "And I have done this so we will all know of her," Blackbeard writes of Toby, "and of how we came to be." Atwood's body of work will last precisely because she has told us about ourselves. It is not always a pretty picture, but it is true for all that.

Surgeon salesmen? Doctors profit from devices they put in patients
October 24, 2013 - By the summer of 2010, 68-year-old Lillian Kaulback had developed severe back pain. She was referred to Dr. Aria Sabit, a spine surgeon in Ventura, Calif.
Her son Kevin Reynolds, who was at the appointment with her, says a few things struck him as strange from the start. There was no secretary or medical assistant there to greet them -- just Sabit. There was no physical exam, and Reynolds says Sabit told his mother she needed surgery within three to five minutes of meeting her.
Patients like Kaulback have a higher risk of complications -- she was 68, overweight, and diabetic. Still, Sabit performed a three-level spine fusion, screwing together four of her vertebrae. Reynolds says within days, she developed a life-threatening infection. "The independent team asked me not once, but twice to pull the plug on her," he told "CBS This Morning." "I said 'no'."
Lillian Kaulback never walked again. Seven months after the surgery, in May of 2011, she passed away.
Reynolds is now suing Sabit for wrongful death. One of his biggest questions centers on the screws and rods used to fuse the spine, which came from a company called Apex Medical Technologies LLC. Apex had no public phone number, website, or listing of its owners. "CBS This Morning" has learned one of its owners was Sabit himself, with a 20 percent stake. From May of 2010 to August of 2012, his share of the profit was about $330,000.
Reynolds claims the financial incentive caused Sabit to do a riskier procedure than necessary, so he could put in more hardware. A single screw used in spine fusion surgery can cost $100 to make, and can sell for $1,000. "I don't think he would've worked on as many levels or possibly did that type of invasive surgery," Reynolds told "CBS This Morning." He says Sabit never mentioned his ownership stake in Apex.
Court records show Kaulback's case is one of 28 brought against Sabit for just 17 months of work at Ventura's Community Memorial Hospital. At least 10 of the suits involve Apex implants. Legal filings show in the seven months before Sabit became an owner of the company, he did 115 spine surgeries. In the seven months after, he did 154, a 34 percent increase. (Seven full months was the length of time from when Sabit began using the implants to when he left the hospital in December of 2010.)
Sabit chose not to give "CBS This Morning" an interview for this story, citing pending litigation. But in a deposition, he claimed he simply had more cases as he became more established. "As time went on I got more and more referrals," he said. "By June of 2010, the wait time to have surgery done by me was probably around two-and-a-half to three months."
Physician-owned companies, also known as physician-owned distributorships or P.O.D.s, have been around for a little over a decade, but already supply an estimated one-sixth of spinal implants nationwide. Most simply serve as middlemen, buying implants wholesale and selling them to hospitals, but some also design and manufacture their own products. In addition to spinal implants, they currently supply hip, knee, cardiac, and other devices.
Doctors are not required to disclose their ownership in these companies, so it's very difficult to get information about them. Often patients -- and even hospitals -- don't know their physicians are involved. But today, the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services released a long awaited study on them.
The report found that in fiscal year 2012, hospitals served by physician-owned companies averaged 28 percent more spine surgeries. Their rate of spine fusions jumped 21 percent after they began purchasing from these companies (that compares to a 9 percent increase for hospitals overall, during the same period). The report also found that surgeries involving physician-owned companies used 13 percent fewer devices.
Drs. Scott Lederhaus and Charles Rosen are on the board of the Association for Medical Ethics. Both spine surgeons, they say they've seen many patients harmed by physician-owned companies, due to the strong financial incentive to perform unnecessary procedures. "The guys that are being egregious could make, just from putting in the implants ... perhaps in excess of a half a million dollars each, per year," Lederhaus told "CBS This Morning."
"Doctors are not supposed to be salesmen," Rosen added.
Lederhaus and Rosen say physician-owned companies should be banned entirely. But Dr. John Steinmann says that would be a big mistake. His company is one of the few that discloses who its owners are. He says by cutting out the middle man and buying in bulk, he saves his hospital $1 million a year. "I can perform exactly the same effective surgeries at a 40 percent lower rate," he told "CBS This Morning."
Steinmann says these arrangements can greatly lower healthcare costs, they just need to be regulated, to weed out the "bad apples." To help do so, he founded the American Association of Surgeon Distributors, which certifies what it believes are legal and ethical physician-owned companies. It requires doctors to disclose their ownership stakes and show cost savings, and it monitors the number of surgeries they are performing.
But at least for now, it appears Steinmann is the exception rather than the rule. His association has fully certified just 14 of the more than 200 physician-owned companies operating across the country, according to the most recent estimates from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. And the inspector general report found that on average, physician-owned companies are charging no less than traditional suppliers. (You can read the association's response to the report here.)
The Justice Department is now investigating whether Sabit's ownership of Apex led him to do unnecessary procedures, according to the Office of Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and the Finance Committee. No one from Apex would give "CBS This Morning" an interview, but a spokesman claimed none of the suits involving the company's implants allege unnecessary procedures. In fact, at least eight of the 10 plaintiffs we identified said they plan to argue just that, though no one has claimed the implants were defective.
In depositions, Sabit has denied the allegations. He charges that his former medical group, Ventura County Neurosurgical Associates, encouraged patients to sue, so it could fire him and avoid paying his bonuses. He claims he is owed millions and has sued for wrongful termination.
Sabit also blamed a non-sterile operating room for patient infections, and in a deposition, the chief executive officer of the hospital -- which is also being sued -- defended him, saying "the vast majority of cases that Dr. Sabit did were appropriate." Sabit has settled at least nine of the 28 cases, and at least one has been dismissed. He is no longer a part-owner of Apex.
Last month, the California Medical Board accused Sabit of committing dishonest, corrupt, and negligent acts in his care of five patients. It charged that he performed unnecessary procedures on three of them, and repeatedly documented procedures that he did not perform. The board will decide whether to revoke his state license after a hearing. For the time being he is still practicing, in Lapeer, Mich.

IT research firm Gartner released a forecast Thursday projecting revenues from worldwidenetwork infrastructure will reach $4.2 billion by 2020. That would amount to an 89% revenue hike from the firm's 2019 projections of $2.2 billion. The firm expects overall 4G revenues to dip from $19.32 billion in 2019 to $18.28 billion in 2020, with similar drops in 3G and 2G revenues.
"It's still early days for the 5G private-network opportunity, but vendors, regulators and standards bodies have preparations in place," senior Gartner researcher Sylvain Fabre said in a release.
5G ubiquity is still pretty far away, but networks are starting to sprout up all around the world. The next-generation technology promises super fast mobile speeds, and it's poised to boost areas like and virtual reality. All four major US carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint -- have turned on their 5G networks, though in limited areas so far, and more 5G-capable devices are set to launch this year.
Gartner estimates 7% of providers have deployed 5G network infrastructure so far, and projects that overall provider investment in 5G networks will double from 6% in 2019 to 12% in 2020. The firm also cautions that to maintain 4G coverage during an extended rollout period from 2019 to 2021, service providers will need to upgrade existing 4G infrastructure.
Otherwise, "a less robust 4G legacy layer adjoining 5G cells could lead to real or perceived performance issues as users move from 5G to 4G/LTE Advanced Pro," Fabre said.
By 2021, Gartner projects, 5G infrastructure revenues will climb to $6.8 billion.

(FOX NEWS) PHOENIX – The sheriff for metropolitan Phoenix trounced three rivals Tuesday to win his Republican primary in what could be the toughest campaign in his 24 years in office as he faces a storm of legal troubles stemming from his immigration patrols.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio easily beat former Buckeye Police Chief Dan Saban and two lesser-known Republicans. Arpaio has raised a staggering amount of money for a local sheriff's race — $11.3 million and counting, most from people living in other states.
The 84-year-old lawman moves on to face the race's sole Democrat, retired Phoenix police Officer Paul Penzone, in the Nov. 8 general election. Penzone lost the 2012 sheriff's race by six percentage points, marking his second closest election in Arpaio's political career.

It seems that classic bullying has passed into history, and the era of electronic bullying came with a smart screen and keyboard that referred the concept of direct bullying to another behavior. The heroes of bullying in the old era were teenagers and school students in neighborhoods, playgrounds and classrooms, and today it has become in a different “modern” form, its owner practicing a set of aggressive and humiliating behaviors against some people in order to intimidate and achieve his desire to control and achieve his goals.
Electronic bullying is a hidden and unknown behavior and its heroes are unknown, and the victims are of every gender and color. The most vulnerable group remains girls and children who are surrounded by psychological harm, and it grows day after day so that the bully develops depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder that may lead him to commit suicide.
On the other hand, society rejects and does not approve of all bullying practices, while regulatory authorities work to deter bullying. The Riyadh Police statement, which was recently issued to identify a girl shown in a video clip, assaulting another girl in a public place in the capital, was one of the manifestations of soft bullying. A spokesman for the Riyadh police said that the authorities were able to identify the girl who appeared in the circulating clip, and that legal measures are being taken against her, to confirm the competent authorities rejecting unhealthy practices and behaviors in society and holding their practitioners accountable.
Most of the victims… are girls
Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr. Muhammad Al-Hamid, confirmed that bullying on social media platforms is the most dangerous because it occurs in a wide space that cannot be limited and limited, and its impact is negatively and destructively reflected on the child who is exposed to it, and it is known as electronic bullying, and refers to undesirable aggressive behavior In it, the electronic bully uses modern technologies against another party for the purpose of offending and harming him, whether materially, morally, socially or psychologically.
Al-Hamid added that statistics on cyber-bullying show that 48.7% of students in Asian countries are subjected to cyber-bullying by publishing embarrassing videos for them. By offensive rumors from boys.
Al-Hamid indicated that 21% of the victims of cyber-bullying in the United States were high school girls of different skin color, and 66% of the girls who had been harassed and cyber-bullyed felt helpless and frustrated, sleep disturbances, and low self-esteem, and 25.38% of cyber-bullying cases It is done via online games.
Al-Hamid explained that the statistics also revealed that 37% of those who were exposed to cyberbullying experienced social anxiety, 36% had varying degrees of depression, 64% of student victims reported that cyberbullying affected their school performance and their sense of safety at school, and 24% of those who Subjected to continuous cyberbullying, they thought of suicide, 6% of Internet users around the world had their personal accounts hacked, 4% of Internet users around the world lost the ability to access their personal accounts again, and 70% of teens believe that banning the bully is the best way to confront cyberbullying .
Don’t scold them.. contain them
Dr. Al-Hamid stressed the need to protect children from bullying by strengthening the relationship with children and encouraging them to reveal their psychological and social problems in a loving and calm manner, away from reprimand and blame, and directing them to resort to the family in any situations they are exposed to without fear or hesitation of any reaction . He pointed out the need to control the times of children’s use of electronic devices, monitor them when they are used, and make sure that they use useful and harmless applications on their psychological behavior, and teach the child to ignore people with bad behavior, and encourage them to form friendships and social relationships to instill confidence in them.
Al-Hamid warned of the need to stand with children who are subjected to bullying without reprimanding them, so that they are not exposed to psychological problems later, and not to hesitate to seek the help of specialists if necessary, in order to preserve the psychological balance of children, while not remaining silent and submitting a complaint to the competent authorities if the type of bullying is for him. legal framework.
Bad words..a crime
Legal Counsel Saif Al-Hakami asserts that bullying occurs using abusive language, mockery, and sharing of videos or photos of the victim, especially those of a sensitive and embarrassing nature. What makes the matter worse is the continuity and the possibility of massive distribution over the Internet. Bullying also occurs on the ground with insults and obscene words, and reaches the threat of beating, as happened, finally, through one of the clips that spread, where a girl is beaten by another, and it is a type of bullying and it spreads inside schools and in gathering areas.
Al-Hakami stressed finding deterrent penalties for bullies; Because of the physical and psychological damage to the person being bullied. The Public Prosecution announced the penalties for electronic bullying in the means of communication and the Internet, and a prison term of up to one year or a fine of up to half a million riyals, or both penalties. Bullying in chat rooms
Security researcher and expert in cybersecurity and combating cybercrime, Muhammad Al-Sorayi, stressed the achievement of the strategic partnership concluded between the National Cybersecurity Authority and the United Nations Specialized Agency for Information and Communications Technology to launch the global program for the protection and empowerment of children in cyberspace, as an extension of the initiative to protect children in the cyber world. Its importance lies in the development of mobile applications and entertaining educational games to contribute to providing guidance in this regard to protect children in cyberspace.
Al Soraei revealed the most common places where cyberbullying occurs; Such as social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok), texting and messaging apps on mobile devices or tablets.
Bullying also occurs via instant messages, direct messages, online chats, forums, chat rooms, email, as well as live gaming communities.
Public Prosecution: Prison awaits them
The Public Prosecution confirmed that the bully in electronic games is punished with imprisonment for a period of up to one year and a fine of up to half a million riyals, and the instigator or assistant is an accomplice in the crime and is punished with the same punishment for the original accused. The General Administration of Institutional Communication on behalf of the State performs important roles to protect the victim.
The prosecution indicated that cyber-bullying causes depression for the bullied person if he does not receive immediate help, and may expose him to isolation, especially young people and adolescents, and be a cause of dispersal of mind and low educational level of the victim.

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Apex, North Carolina, a town about the size of Franklin, Wisconsin describes itself as combining a relaxing small-town atmosphere with convenience to big-city amenities. Apex’s Steve Padgett is considered by many townsfolk to be a hero for not doing his job. That’s right, for not doing his job.
The 58-year old Padgett was a mailman who was recently given probation in a federal court for stashing away piles and piles of undelivered junk mail, seven year’s worth to be exact. He even buried flyers and catalogues in his back yard. The judge passed on sending Padgett to prison for five years, telling the mailman, “Today, you'll get credit for a life well lived."
The U.S. Postal Service did not receive any complaints from anyone on Padgett’s route about undelivered mail. Instead, hundreds contacted local media to praise Padgett, saying he deserves an award.
The lack of a backlash against Padgett illustrates the public’s distaste for junk mail, despised in the same way as telemarketer calls. Do Not Call lists have become so popular that many states have explored Do Not Mail registries.
On the surface, the concept of consumers being afforded the opportunity to sign up for a Do Not Mail lists sounds great. But there are ramifications. Direct mail advertising, as obnoxious as it might be, provides discounts to consumers on various goods and services. The industry also provides jobs, employing about 10 million Americans. Doing away with junk mail sends a lot of people to the unemployment line.
Numerous states have attempted to pass Do Not Mail laws. They have all failed.

Tucker in this video said that sanctions against Russia aren't hurting Putin and its side-effects are just hurting US people by raising gas price.
Do US sanctions against Russia really not have any notable impact on Russia's economy to stop it from invading Ukraine? I think it's obvious that banning oil import hurts Russia's economy, but how much? Is it really remarkable? And will the effects be felt in the short term?

What to do when you suspect your furry friend has a tick?
Is your pet showing signs of distress and unusual behaviour?
It could be a sign of lethal paralysis ticks (#) hiding under their fur. It is imperative that any ticks are quickly removed, as if they are left untreated then they can leave your pet paralysed and fighting for life.
Tick symptoms include:
- Walking unusually
- Reluctance to move
- Irregular behaviour
If you notice any drastic changes in your pet’s behaviour or see any ticks on their skin, it is important to act quickly. If the venom affects their lungs, it may have impact on their breathing which can be extremely dangerous.
If you suspect your companion has been bitten by a paralysis tick, immediately take them to your local. A vet will initiate tick treatment which includes manually removing the tick, and applying vet prescribed anti tick medication.
(#) Paralysis ticks are commonly found in humid conditions, such as along the east coast of Australia. Their hosts usually include possums, kangaroos and koalas, however sometimes they find their way to our family pets.
Ticks suck blood from their hosts, which results in toxins being released from their salivary glands and injected into the animal. The injected toxin then shuts down the host’s nervous system causing paralysis.
Paralysis ticks are usually grey in colour and can expand up for over one centimetre depending on how much blood they have sucked. The size of the tick is usually a good indication of how long the tick has been on your pet.

Roma’s Fabio Borini has admitted a love for Alessandro Del Piero and Roberto Baggio ahead of Sunday’s game at Juventus.
“Del Piero is my idol and I’m not saying that because we will be facing Juventus this weekend,” he told La Stampa.
“I never remember Del Piero saying a word out of place, he’s the best you can get. Then there was also Baggio, Roberto Baggio.”
Del Piero succeeded Baggio in the Juventus No 10 shirt in Turin. The 37-year-old, signed in 1993 from Padova, will leave the Turin giants in the summer.
While leaders Juventus are going for the title, Roma are four points away from the last Champions League spot.
“We want third, but our season won’t be decided in Turin,” continued the new Italian international.
Borini, co-owned with Parma, has been a revelation in Serie A this term as the 21-year-old has scored nine goals in 19 League games.

On my nightly walk this evening I passed some children on my way back home. I see them every night but I never say hello because I have a fear of children. What I mean is I have a fear of ever becoming a mother again since I’m committed to my career and working all the time is often unfair to a child. I said hello the dog that they were walking though.
‘Hello Priscilla.’ I said as I continued to walk.
‘Wait!’ the young girl insisted.
I stopped and turned.
‘You know this dog?’ she asked.
‘Why of course, that’s Priscilla, she’s your grandparent’s dog.’
The two girls looked at eachother.
‘What’s your name?’
‘Victoria Anne. ‘
‘You’re awfully pretty but how come you speak like youre from the old days?’
‘Thank you! Well I speak like this because I think like this. I’m also a bit of an old soul so I guess I sound different.’
‘Yea its too proper for me.’ She said.
Her mom was laughing just as hard as I was.
They asked me what Los Angeles was like, and what a filmmaker is, and what my current occupation is. I explained to them that I’m a writer. They asked me what a writer is.
‘Well think of me as a channel from my imagination to a screen, stage, or book.’
These girls were amazed just how much freedom you can have as a writer as I explained my daily routines to them. I’m now proud to say that these two girls started writing today and I’ll be seeing their work tomorrow.

In this paper, an approach for fitting a circle to 2-D data which represent only a small part of the curve is described. This approach deals with the particular case where data is specified in terms of its Cartesian coordinates and the errors in both coordinates are not independent. Besides, an associated uncertainty ellipse which describes the measurement error and the variance matrix associated to the estimated parameters are obtained. This method is particularly well designed to fit a circle to a set of measured range readings provided by a 2-D laser range finder when these range readings are specified in terms of its Cartesian coordinates. Therefore, it has been successfully applied to acquire circle-shaped landmarks in a mobile robotics navigation task.

Amadou & Mariam are at this point firmly established international stars. They don't need people to explain their back story for half a review anymore, and they've become truly intertwined with a huge network of African and Western artists whom they've toured and recorded with, a list that ranges all over the place from Manu Chao to David Gilmour, K'naan, Damon Albarn, Bassekou Kouyaté and Santigold. With that fame comes a potential snag, though: it's much, much harder for them to surprise us now that they've defined themselves around a seamless synthesis of the music of their homeland and the music of the rest of the world.
They're trying to work around that. For Folila (which means "music" in Bambara), they took an unusual approach to making a record, essentially making the same album three times. They recorded it once in New York with a host of indie rock musicians helping out, and again in Mali with a group of musicians from Mali's popular and traditional music communities. And then they took it to Paris, where they took the two recordings, which were made with matched keys and tempos, and mixed them together into a very literal genre hybrid. Honestly-- and this is really my bias here-- I would've loved to hear them use their newfound fame to strip things back a little and reveal the sounds of their homeland to a newly invested audience, but the hybrid works pretty well for the most part, and I'm not going to hold it against them that they're doubling down on their established fusion.
That fusion pays off beautifully on several tracks. Opener and lead single "Dougou Badia", featuring a guest vocal from Santigold and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner mixing it up on guitar with Amadou, is about as good a result as you could hope for from the oblique recording process. Zinner and Amadou in particular have great chemistry, Amadou's staccato, tangled rhythm playing playing foil to Zinner's long, sustained tones. The chemistry is similarly strong with UK singer Ebony Bones, whose vocal turn on "C'est Pas Facile Pour Les Aigles" injects a huge burst of energy right into the heart of the album. Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears and TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone and Tunde Adebimpe also contribute vocals, but stay in the background for the most part. Malone and Adebimpe fit so organically into the slinking funk of "Wily Kataso" that it makes me wonderful what a full album collaboration between the two bands might sound like, and Shears' addition of just a hint of disco camp to "Metemya" is about perfect.

We home-stayed on the island of Kratie Province.
The family at the house was so kind that their mother treated Hina like a grand daughter. She invited Hina to join a community party and a prayer at Buddhist temple.
Hina greets with everyone she sees. She even said she would like to overcome fears of talking to non-English speakers.
Before Hina went out with their mother, she told me that she felt uncomfortable to speak Khmer and that she would like to stay at a hotel, where only English speakers are there.
But when she went out with the family without me, she said she enjoyed talking to new people. So I let her go out with a host mom again. When she came back, she shared how she communicated with the people who speak only Khmer.
She used gestures and she learned some new words from them. She talked about the experience happily.
through this experience, she has found some joy after overcoming fears.
I think that she was able to know how much she can do without help from her parents as well.

A woman and two children were killed and 16 people wounded in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo on Saturday in what an anti-government violence monitoring group said was a gas attack by Syrian government forces.
Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, cited witnesses as saying that two gas bombs had been dropped from an army helicopter.
Doctors in the town of Afrin, where the injured were taken, told the Observatory that victims had "hallucinated, vomited, had excess mucus and felt their eyes were burning."
Reuters cannot verify such reports from Syria due to severe reporting and security restrictions.
A team of United Nations-led experts is waiting in Cyprus for the go-ahead to investigate three previous allegations of chemical weapons attacks in Syria, including one the government said was a poison attack by rebels in Aleppo last month.
The government of President Bashar Assad has rejected demands by the opposition that the inspectors be sent to investigate cases in Homs and Damascus where rebels say government forces used chemical munitions.
Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsoud district, where the two bombs were dropped on Saturday, is controlled by rebels. The Observatory distributed photos taken by opposition activists of remnants of what it said were the bombs.
It also sent photos of a dead woman and two children, who it said were both under two years old. None of the three had any visible injuries.
Twelve killed in Idlib
Another airstrike by the Syrian army killed at least 12 people on Saturday, shattering store fronts, setting cars ablaze and sending a giant plume of black and gray smoke over the horizon in the town of Saraqeb in Idlib province, according to another Observatory report.
The group said four of the 12 people killed in the attack were members of the same family. Many others were wounded and the death toll was expected to rise.
Meanwhile, several Syrian artillery shells exploded in northern Lebanon Saturday as battles raged between Syrian opposition fighters and government troops over control of a strategic supply route.
At least three shells fired from inside Syria fell on Lebanon's eastern area of Hermel, a police report said. The shelling caused no casualties, but it hit the electricity network in the area, Lebanon's official National Agency said.
About 70,000 people have been killed in an uprising against four decades of Assad family rule that turned into a civil war after Assad's forces suppressed protests and opposition members took up arms. Both sides have been accused by rights groups of war crimes.

Man Arrested After Multistate, High-Speed Chase Ends in Cheyenne
A 19-year-old Aurora, Colorado man was arrested Monday after reportedly leading Nebraska and Wyoming authorities on a chase that reached speeds in excess of 100 mph.
Wyoming Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Jeremy Beck says the agency was notified around 10:23 a.m. of a pursuit in Nebraska headed west on Interstate 80.
Wyoming troopers took over the chase near the state line and were able to successfully deploy spike strips and get the driver, Nathaniel J. Garcia, to stop near Campstool Road.
Beck says the vehicle Garcia was driving was reported stolen out of Fort Collins, Colorado.
Garcia faces charges of eluding, driving under suspension, possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance and reckless driving.

Indaw and Katha Tour Highlights
- Stunning Pottery Village
- Hanlin (Pyu) Ancient World Heritage Site
- Beautiful countryside excursion from Shwebo to Indaw
- Visit Local villages and Elephant camp
- Finding George Orwell steps in Katha
Day 1: Mandalay-Hanlin-Shwebo
Early morning 2.5-hour drive starts from Mandalay to Nwe Nyein village nearby Kyaukmyaung. En route stops and observe the traditional pottery village. Since centuries ago, the daily life of Nwenyien village has seen little changes. Activities such as harvesting the clay from the river bed, crafting the huge pots, glazing with slipware and bringing in to firewood ovens ‘Kilns’ for the firing process are deeply embedded in village day to day routine.
Proceed (1 Hrs 20 Mins) to Hanlin village which was enlisted by UNESCO World Heritage Sites in May 2014. Hanlin was a Pyu city-state, of considerable significance city, between 200 BC and 900 AD. Wander around the dry country village with Archaeological heritages dating back more than 1,500 years.
Lunch is possible at the village noddle shop.
Continue to Shwe Bo city by car (1 hrs), which was once served as the capital for King Alaungpaya during the 18th century. Upon arrival in Shwe Bo, start with a visit to the main local market. Shwe Bo is a major agricultural trading town with beans, rice and sesame being grown in the surrounding plains and the market is a hub of activity. Afterward, visit a small British war cemetery of soldiers killed during pacification campaigns near Shwebo.
Then visit the ‘wishing grounds’, an auspicious spot believed to have been used by King Alaungpaya as a gathering point before battles. The locals come here to make offerings in hopes their wishes will come true.
Overnight in Pyi Shwe Theingha Hotel.
Day 2: Shwebo – Mezar – Indaw
After breakfast, drive through a country road passing the major rice growing region and many villages to Indaw. For energetic travelers, hiking up to the natural Bats Cave on the way is possible. Prepare to see the dark smelly cave with 100000 bats. Bat’s Dung is the best natural fertilizer for regional agriculture.
Proceed to Indaw passing Mezar region and the bridge just opened. Long ago and far away, Infamous Mezar used to accommodate the political exiles during the Myanmar Kingdom, because this region was covered by dense rain forests and it’s a mean of cruelty to be sent away to such a place away from the civilization.
Arrival in Indaw in the late afternoon, a small town full of its unique natural tour attractions nearby. If time permits, visit the museum monastery where old Buddhist ornaments, literature are kept. Go under the wooden monastery and look at the gigantic wooden boat and ore.
Continue to the most interesting area of the region, Mann Le Village. Mann Le village and region was famous for the most venerable Buddhist scholar Mann Le Sayardaw (1842 – 1920) who’s prose works are highly regarded in Myanmar literature studies. The myth is that he’s a dead body covered by gold leaves is still to be seen in the monastery. The huge teak monastery itself is well worth visiting with ornate teak pillars, double stories, old atmosphere, and surrounding history.
Wander around the village and observe the local crafts: The pottery works and palm hats weaving.
Overnight in Shwe Myanmar Hotel.
Day 3: Indaw – Mawlu –The lake (Indaw lay) – Elephant Camp – Katha
In the morning, walk over a bamboo bridge crossing a small river and visit Manfar village, full of Katu tribes. Observe the basket weaving, the tradition of the village. Continue driving to Mawlu where one can observe how we make the Burmese and Shan Drum, the whole process of crafting, putting leather to make a sound, testing the drum.
Proceed further to picturesque Indawlay Lake and stop for a photo.
Then, continue to the World War 2 Museum and observe what went wrong or right for the war time’s sake. After that, a short drive will take to the Elephant camp where you can experience the nature of the wood and the elephants. In the late afternoon, proceed to Katha, infamous Gorge Orwell’s town.
Stay overnight in Hotel Katha.
Day 4: Katha (Finding Gorge Orwell in Katha)
In the morning, visit the lively Katha market. Trace the footsteps of George Orwell and the plots of his famous book ‘Burmese Days’. Katha was Eric A. Blair’s (George Orwell) last posting in the Imperial Police before he sailed back to England in 1927, adopted the nom de plume Orwell and launched a writing career that would produce powerful novels and commentary. Seven years after leaving the sleepy town on the Irrawaddy River, he immortalized it as the setting of his first novel, the vehemently anti-colonial “Burmese Days,” though he called it not Katha but “Kyauktada.”
The British Club, where much of the novel’s scheming, fighting, drinking, and sweating takes place, still stands, as do other sites mentioned including a tennis court, a pagoda and a prison. A house believed to have been Orwell’s home in Katha remains in use.
Visit Orwell’s town full of colonial buildings. Amazing thing is that (that might even amuse Orwell) Once Orwell’s house is still occupied by a Myanmar police officer family today.
Visit the house of Commissioner (Locals call The Red House), the Divisional Forest Officer’s house , the Tennis Court ( British colonial time), Old British Club, old prison, the old bell which was used and hanged at the ship of George White, Allied War Cemetery, The old Church ( Shinpaul Lu Ann Ga Li Kan ), the fire station’s collection of IFC ships bells taken from sunken ships in the Second War. Katha was the final resting place of the old flotilla and here over a hundred ships were scuppered in 1942 in an Act of Denial before the advancing Japanese.
Stay overnight in Hotel Katha.
Day 5: Katha – Mandalay or Monywa or Bhamo
- Today, you may continue to Bhamo by car or by local boat and fly out.
- You may also continue to Monywa and then Bagan by car.
- You may also go back to Mandalay by car or by local boat.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has called off its pursuit to bid for the 2019 Asian Games. The IOA officials were waiting for an appointment with PM Narendra Modi in a last-ditch attempt to get the government’s nod to place a serious bid. However, the association failed to get an audience with the PM while the Olympic Council of Asia’s (OCA) extended deadline ended Sunday.
“It is all over as far as the bid for the 2019 Asian Games is concerned,” IOA secretary general Rajeev Mehta, who initiated a late interest in the Games after original host Hanoi pulled out. “The OCA’s deadline ended today, and we failed in our efforts to meet the PM. We will be ending all our efforts to get the Asian Games,” he added.
Mehta said that there won’t be any effort from the IOA to seek another extension from the OCA. “We had already stretched the extension, nothing can happen now.”
Interestingly, it was only a day before the deadline that the IOA had mailed a proper proposal to the sports ministry, who had sought several clarifications from the sports body. Mehta had called on the sports secretary Ajit Sharan last week who had asked detailed budgetary outlays when they were only provided with an operative cost estimate of Rs 5,500 crore. The ministry wanted to know an estimate for the construction of the Games Village and where and how much land was needed to build it, besides other projects that needed to be undertaken in the run-up to the Games.
It’s apparent, therefore, that the fault lies with the IOA. Hanoi had pulled out on April 17 and despite publicly airing its interest, the IOA failed to display a unified stance on the issue. president N Ramachandran and Mehta publicly differed on the issue. The IOA swung into action only after Mehta’s email — dated June 17 — to members to seek their views on the matter. From then on it was always a race against time.

The child-welfare agency for Arizona wants to hire 200 more employees to improve a system that's overwhelmed by record numbers of abuse reports, foster children and backlogged cases.
The Arizona Republic reports that a $49 million budget request by the Department of Economic Security marks the first public acknowledgment that the state's Child Protective Services is unable to keep pace with its growing caseload.
Caseworker turnover has reached record levels, topping 30 percent in the most recent report.
The number of children in foster care continues to climb, as does the number of babies and small children in shelters and group homes.
At the same time, thousands of cases are not being investigated and families are waiting for visitation, counseling and other services that could help them reunite.

Based on Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Adapted by Sean Aita
It‘s not easy for Huck Finn. Pestered by the widow Douglas and beaten by his father, he finally wants to be free! This desire is the beginning of one of the most exciting and moving youth stories: Huck travels along the Mississippi, together with Jim, a runaway slave. From Jim he learns what it really means to not be free. But in him he also finds the best travel companion to survive the wildest adventures, defy strange dangers and to smash really gross sailor songs.
Huck Finn captures Mark Twain‘s Dixieland of the Southern States, intertwined with a thirst for adventure and at the same time approaches the subject of racism, inviting viewers to join Huck Finn in rethinking prejudices.
