An epic canvas, a quiet love story, a cops-and-robbers drama and an impressively sophisticated storytelling style: Lootera has all this and much more.
Vikramaditya Motwane, who earned his spurs with the critically acclaimed Udaan in 2010, works here with a completely different cinematic easel.
What he has carved out of the raw material at his disposal can only bolster his reputation as a filmmaker who knows exactly how not to be run of the mill.
He fills the Lootera frame with fable, history, art, literature, poetry, occasional nods to classic Hindi cinema and music, and loads of passion, beauty and magic.
In short, Lootera is a Bollywood miracle ? a rare Mumbai film that is mounted on a lavish scale and yet dares not to play by the established norms of the marketplace.
Motwane makes absolutely no concessions to commercial considerations, sticks to his guns all the way, and ends up with an exquisitely crafted, slow-burning, awe-inspiring film.
Even the title is informed with a cocky air of defiance. Lootera raises visions of another Rowdy Rathore kind of film, and then proceeds to completely pull down all preconceived notions that the name might trigger.
Falling leaves of an autumnal tree and a girl who is assailed by thoughts of dying ? the two essential components of the O Henry short story (The Last Leaf) that provides the basis of the narrative ? are the principal elements in Lootera.
But Motwane adds many more layers to the tale by weaving, among other things, a Baba Nagarjun poem about the end of a bout of famine in a village into his film. It enhances the already strong elegiac undertone.
Lootera celebrates the past, mourns the demise of love, life and things of joy and beauty, but in the end affirms the primacy of the human spirit and the power of art to tide over the blows of fate.
The film is a period drama that unfolds over two years, 1953 and 1954, a time of great upheaval for the Bengal aristocracy.
Zamindari is abolished and the world of the Zamindar of Manikpur (Barun Chanda) is on the verge of collapse.
It is pushed over the edge by a rakish intruder, Varun (Ranveer Singh), who rides into this wobbly setting, claiming to be an archaeologist who has been entrusted with the task of excavating the place in quest of an ancient civilisation.
He not only quickly earns the ageing aristocrat?s confidence but also sweeps the man?s beloved daughter, Pakhi (Sonakshi Sinha), off her feet.
Love, tremulous at first and then full-blown and physical, blossoms as furtive glances, frequent dinners, car rides and informal painting classes allow the two to explore each other?s feelings.
Her father dotes on the ailing Pakhi, who often runs out of breath and needs urgent medical attention. As she recuperates, the zamindar narrates to her the legend of a brave and invincible Bhil monarch whose life resided in the breast of a parrot.
Lootera eschews overt melodrama and settles for an approach that embraces as much the complexities of human nature as the simplicity of myth.
I cannot draw leaves, the Shantiniketan-trained girl tells the charmer, and requests him to teach her. It turns out that he isn?t much of a tutor although he believes that he has it in him to produce one last masterpiece.
When Varun?s job is done and it is time to part, the distraught Pakhi pleads with him not to leave. The latter responds with a matter-of-fact: Behtar hoga aap jaaiye (You better leave).
Pakhi snaps, ?Behtar hoga mar jaaiye (Better die), and walks away. Death and desire are two sides of the same coin in Lootera, and Motwane builds up an atmosphere of love and longing through touches that leave much unsaid, adding to the allure of the film.
His characters ? the film has only a handful ? deliver their lines almost in whispers. The outstanding sound design, which, like everything else in the film, is delivered unobtrusively, helps the ambience emerge.
The musical score (Amit Trivedi) and the lyrics (Amitabh Bhattacharya) are in perfect consonance with the universe that Lootera conjures up.
Lootera uses silence and stillness wonderfully well. In such moments of repose, one can hear footsteps on a hilly pathway or a piece of paper being crumpled, and that is such a rarity in a Hindi film.
The two halves of Lootera are distinct chapters: the gold, russet and green of the Bengal landscape gives way to the pale, snowy, hilly heights of north India. Each is filmed in muted hues by cinematographer Mahendra J Shetty, whose contribution to the overall impact of the work is enormous.
Every actor in Lootera, irrespective of the footage he or she gets, is an unmistakable presence.
Both Ranveer and Sonakshi are first-rate although there are passages in the film when one wonders whether a pair of more mature actors might have raised the bar just a little.
But there can be no denying that Sonakshi, playing a well defined character for the first time in her career, does rise to the challenge.
Barun Chanda makes a believable zamindar. Vikrant Massey, cast as the hero?s witty accomplice who adores Dev Anand, is clearly cut out for greater things as a big screen actor.
Adil Husain injects characteristic gravitas into the character of the Dalhousie investigator on a fugitive?s trail.
Arif Zakaria, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Shirin Guha make brief appearances but lasting impressions.
Now the big question: will a film like Lootera work at the box office? The question is irrelevant. It wouldn?t matter, at least from the critical point of view, even if it were to fail to get its point across to an audience weaned on Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore, Son of Sardar and suchlike. It would still be a magnificent film.

A vascular technologist is a healthcare professional who uses imaging technology to assess the function and health of the body's blood vessels. Vascular technologists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers. Like other healthcare professionals, a vascular technologist must have an impressive and well-crafted resume to get their foot through the door of an employer.
The first thing to consider when creating a vascular technologist resume is the format. There are three common formats to choose from: chronological, functional, or a combination of the two. The chronological format focuses on work history and relevant experience, while the functional format highlights skills and accomplishments. The combination format is a mix of both. Depending on your background and strengths, choose the format that best highlights your qualifications.
The profile section of your resume should be a short paragraph that summarizes your professional experience and qualifications. It should be engaging and relevant to the employer's needs. Highlight your skills and experience in vascular technology and your ability to handle difficult and complex cases.
Your work experience section should list your previous jobs in reverse chronological order, emphasizing your accomplishments and responsibilities in each role. Make sure to mention any specific procedures or equipment you used, as well as any specialties in which you have expertise. Use action verbs like "analyzed," "interpreted," and "assessed" to showcase your impact and contributions.
In addition to a bachelor's degree in a related field, many employers require a certification in vascular technology. List any degrees, licenses, and certifications in this section, ensuring that they are up-to-date and valid. If you have additional training or continuing education credits, this is also a great place to showcase them.
In the skills section of your resume, highlight the technical and soft skills that make you a strong candidate. Technical skills may include proficiency in various imaging technologies, knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and experience with EMR software. Soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and organizational abilities are also critical to highlight, as they are essential for effective patient care.
Before submitting your resume, make sure to tailor it to the specific requirements and preferences of each employer. Research their values, goals, and culture to ensure that your resume speaks directly to their needs and priorities. Highlight aspects of your experience and qualifications that align with the job description, and use industry-specific language to demonstrate your expertise.
Following these steps, you can create a compelling and professional resume that showcases your expertise and qualifications in vascular technology, setting yourself up for success in your job search.
Highly skilled and organized vascular technologist with 5 years of experience assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders. Proficient in performing vascular ultrasound exams, including venous and arterial studies. Dedicated to providing exceptional patient care and ensuring accurate and timely test results.

Editor’s note: Breaking views are thoughts from individual members of the editorial board on today’s headlines.
On Monday, a grand jury in Virginia indicted actress Rose McGowan on one count of felony cocaine possession.
Her crime – her great transgression against society?
Allegedly, in January 2017, an airport worker found two small bags of cocaine in McGowan’s wallet, which she had apparently left behind on a plane. Her lawyer notes that “individuals other than Ms. McGowan had access to the wallet for somewhere between approximately 5 hours 40 minutes and more than 11 hours” before the authorities obtained the wallet, but that didn’t stop prosecutors from wanting to proceed.
After all, the American criminal justice system incentivizes and rewards overzealous prosecution. That’s how America got to the point where it leads the world in incarceration – with our failed, foolish War on Drugs to blame for much of it.
For this egregious violation of the very important, infallible laws of Virginia, she turned herself in to Virginia authorities back in November. Now, she awaits trial in January 2019. That’s the American justice system at work.
While McGowan suggested the drugs were actually planted to undermine her, even assuming the cocaine was hers, who was actually harmed by what she’s alleged to have done?
Assuming she had two small bags of cocaine with her which fit in her wallet, what wrong did she actually do? Whose liberty did she infringe upon? Was society actually undermined by what she’s alleged to have done?
Obviously not. No one was harmed and no liberties were violated other than McGowan’s.
It is absurd that the so-called justice system has been so relentless in pursuing McGowan for something that shouldn’t be a crime when it has only just gotten around to charging Harvey Weinstein for actual crimes.
McGowan has been an important voice for women in Hollywood and beyond in drawing attention to abuses against women by men with power. Now, with this trivial charge against her, maybe more people will consider the futility and damaging impacts of American drug laws. What she’s doing is pursuing justice, what Virginia is pursuing is time-wasting, resource-squandering draconian nonsense.

text: Initially, we investigated the distribution of chemicals in dried wood samples using a standard TOF-SIMS and obtained two-dimensional images of chemical distribution in various wood samples. However, during drying as part of the sample preparation, some artifacts could occur because water-soluble chemicals could be moved, drained, or changed at that time. To understand the function of chemicals in living trees, it is important to reveal the distribution of chemicals in planta. For this purpose, we developed the new cryo-TOF-SIMS/SEM system to analyze chemical distribution in frozen-hydrated samples. This new system consists of a glove box, a cryo-SEM, and a cryo-TOF-SIMS, which are interconnected by a cryo-vacuum shuttle. This system was then applied to freeze-fixed Cryptomeria japonica xylem. Potassium, ferruginol, a major wood chemical of C. japonica, and water were simultaneously detected in frozen-hydrated wood tissues. For accurate detection, the sublimation of ice from sample surfaces must be prevented. After the TOF-SIMS analysis of the surface, the sample was cut to make the next sample surface in the glove box and cryo-TOF-SIMS analysis was performed again. Continuing with this procedure, we obtained a three-dimensional analysis data of TOF-SIMS images. The maximum height was 1000 µm. These results suggest that this new system is useful for revealing the chemical distribution of wood tissue in planta. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We had quite a few meals there in the last few years while travelling on South Island and they always were very nice, simple, but tasty. This time I was very disappointed with the food taste and quality. The dish I always order wasn't the same and it didn't taste good. Well maybe cook had a bad day or they just changed the recipe (and a few ingredients). My husband's choice was OK. Probably won't go there again.

Local authorities across Morocco have conducted the provisional annual revision of the country’s general electoral lists, ahead of the 2021 elections, set to take place in September.
The annual revision seeks to ensure that all citizens registered in electoral lists are eligible for voting. It also provides an opportunity to transfer the registration files of citizens who changed their addresses to the corresponding local authorities.
The provisional annual revision began on January 10 and local authorities made its results public on January 13. Until January 17, citizens will be able to consult their registration status on the website www.listeselectorales.ma or by visiting local administrations.
Morocco’s Ministry of the Interior urged citizens who discover errors in their registrations to visit local administrative authorities for rectification.
As for citizens who did not register in the general electoral lists before the deadline of December 31, 2020, the ministry announced the exceptional reopening of a registration period from January 18-24.
During the period, citizens will be able to register through the website www.listeselectorales.ma or by visiting local administrations.
Finally, citizens who discover that their names have been removed for some reason from the electoral lists, can file a complaint and reapply for registration.
The Ministry of the Interior and its local administrative committees will study all the new requests and complaints during a series of meetings from February 10-14, before publishing the final general electoral lists.
Registration in electoral lists is the most important requirement for Moroccans to participate in general elections, as the lists include several details about the voting process, such as the polling place where each citizen can cast their vote.
But the ministry is yet to announce the exact date of the 2021 general elections. So far, authorities have only decided that the elections will take place on a Wednesday in September.
The upcoming elections will witness several novelties compared to previous ones. They will include three votes — for municipal, regional, and legislative elections — on the same day.
The votes traditionally took place over three separate days, but the decision to hold them simultaneously seeks to increase voter turnout.
Municipal and regional elections decide which political parties lead local and regional councils. Meanwhile, the legislative election determines the number of seats each party earns at Morocco’s House of Representatives.
Another novelty, yet to be confirmed by official authorities, is that foreign residents in Morocco will also have the right to vote.

Re: "State offers to move historic school building; McDonogh No. 11 is in hospital footprint," Page A4, March 18.
We are heartened that the state of Louisiana has recognized the importance of the historic McDonogh No. 11 School in the footprint of the proposed University Medical Center, as well as the abject waste of demolishing a sound, recently renovated historic building. However, we feel talks of moving the school are premature.
The landmark school building, built in 1879, can and should be incorporated into the plans for the proposed hospital complex if the state ever acquires the necessary financing to proceed.
There is too much uncertainty to move the building. Design of the 37-acre medical complex is still in question, the city of New Orleans has not revoked the streets required for the project to proceed and the funding for the medical complex is still at least $400 million short. Various property owners in the footprint, such as the Blood Center, are contesting valuations and the need for demolition. It is also unknown whether reconfiguring the working hospital design to include the school building would actually cost less than moving.
If the Veteran's Administration can include the Pan Am building in its designs and is working to do the same to with Dixie Brewery, couldn't the UMC incorporate a significant, newly restored building into its plan, as it should have from the outset? With all the uncertainties of this project, let's put this in perspective. We are talking about changing designs, which are on paper. The building is already set in stone.

Hello everybody! Soraya here to share with you a fun and easy tutorial to make your own planner pockets using one of the new amazing releases of We R Memory Keepers that you could discover a few days ago at the Creativation show: the new Trim & Score Board !
To make this cute planner pocket I used a patterned paper from the FUSEables Collection. First, I used the Trim function to cut the paper. I could easily see how sturdy and stable the board is compared to the former one. I cut my paper at 7 – 3/8 inch x 6 – ¾ inch to fit in my mini Memory Planner.
Then, I turned the blue guide on the other side to score my paper in the middle. This new system is on point since it prevents the paper from slipping on the board. And since I used a plastic paper, it was very useful to get it stable!
To create the folder look on the pocket, I scored the top and cut it with the Trimmer.
Time to Fuse! To close the edges of the pocket, I used my Fuse and its ruler as a guide: love how it turned out! And most of all, I love the ‘stitching’ effect you have after passing the tool on the plastic sheet!
Now that the pocket is done and decorated, I just need to place it in my planner. This is why my Planner Punch Board is never too far from me! Use the chart on the back to see what is the perfect alignment for your planner and punch it!
And that’s a wrap! The planner pocket is done and ready to keep your favorite photos or journaling that you write on tags and labels!
I hope you had fun joining me. Now it’s your turn to play with the new Trim & Score Board! Grab your planner and make tons of happy pockets to store your favorite memories! Have fun creating and until next time!

Targeted free energy estimation via learned mappings
P Wirnsberger and AJ Ballard and G Papamakarios and S Abercrombie and S Racaniere and A Pritzel and DJ Rezende and C Blundell, JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS, 153, 144112 (2020).
Free energy perturbation (FEP) was proposed by Zwanzig J. Chem. Phys. 22, 1420 (1954) more than six decades ago as a method to estimate free energy differences and has since inspired a huge body of related methods that use it as an integral building block. Being an importance sampling based estimator, however, FEP suffers from a severe limitation: the requirement of sufficient overlap between distributions. One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted FEP, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase the overlap of the underlying distributions. Despite its potential, this method has attracted only limited attention due to the formidable challenge of formulating a tractable mapping. Here, we cast Targeted FEP as a machine learning problem in which the mapping is parameterized as a neural network that is optimized so as to increase the overlap. We develop a new model architecture that respects permutational and periodic symmetries often encountered in atomistic simulations and test our method on a fully periodic solvation system. We demonstrate that our method leads to a substantial variance reduction in free energy estimates when compared against baselines, without requiring any additional data.

After Monday’s announcement that the Chinese would close the North Side of Everest until May 10th there was some speculation that they had asked Nepal to do the same on the South Side. The word at the time was that Nepal politely declined.
Now several sites, including The Adventurist and Everest News are speculating that Nepal may indeed have agreed to hold teams from the summit until after May 10th as well. Jason’s article at The Adventurist cites this article from the Tacoma News Tribune in which Eric Simonson, co-owner of International Mountain Guides, is quoted as saying that his contacts in Nepal are hinting that the country will compromise, and allow teams to acclimatize, establish their high camps, and do everything they can on the mountain, except go for the summit.
It seems that until May 10th, the summit is the sole property of the Chinese Olympic Torch Team. The Chinese Government is so focused on making a big public splash with the Torch on the summit that they are willing to push everyone else out of the way in order to get there. I know the Olympics are their big coming out party, and it’s their chance to show the World how far they’ve come. When I was there back in the Summer of 2002 they were already planning and making preparations for the event. They want to do it big and flashy.
The question I have at this point is what’s in it for Nepal? What incentive do they have to keep the teams on their side of the mountain back from the summit until after May 10th? Is China sending them a big economic care package to do so? Is Nepal afraid of becoming the Nepalese Autonomous Region? I’d certainly be interested in hearing why they would elect to do this.
Meanwhile, Alan Arnette announced today that his team is still planning on climbing the Hill this season, even if things are in a current state of flux. His post does a good job of summing up the problems here, which in a nutshell are these: It takes five weeks to establish the high camps and acclimatize. On a typical schedule that puts you right at May 10th. How do you do those things if you can’t be on the mountain?
As I said before, it’s certainly going to be an interesting year in the Himalaya.

I love fresh jalapeños on nachos, fajitas, pork carnitas, you name it, but I never seem to have any when I need them. You know, for that impromptu midnight snack of tortilla chips and melted cheese, or a last minute thrown together taco night. These easy to make Homemade Pickled Jalapeños are the perfect solution! I used to keep a jar of the store bought pickled ones in the fridge, but they were pretty sad in comparison. I decided to try my hand at pickling my own, without all the garbage that goes into the commercially prepared ones.
5 or 6 green jalapeños, medium to large
1 32 ounce bottle of white vinegar (at least 5% acidity)
Traditionally one would put salt in as well, and some put sugar but I don't think it needs it, so I leave it out. Also keep in mind, this is NOT a canning recipe. I usually just make one jar full at a time and keep them in the fridge. You can modify this recipe up or down to suit your jalapeño consumption. You could literally pickle one pepper at a time: the only rule you have to remember is to make sure it is covered with the vinegar.
Yes, I do absolutely use gloves when I'm handling jalapeños. No matter how careful you think you are, you will get some jalapeño oil on your skin, and after the fifteenth time of touching your eye even after you've washed your hands three times and then dealing with a burning eye for the next twenty minutes, you'll wear gloves, too.
Wash your jalapeños in soapy water and rinse well. Set them on a towel to dry. Get out your cutting board, sharpen a big knife and a small paring knife, put on some gloves, and chop each jalapeño into rings. I usually start at the pointy end and continue up the pepper to the stem.
Once I get about halfway up the pepper, that's where the seeds and the membrane are. The membrane is where the heat is. I like spicy, but I also like to be able to enjoy the flavor without burning my mouth up, so I take the seeds and membrane out. Just take the skinny paring knife and slide it up inside the pepper and cut those bits of membrane loose. Then, as you continue cutting the jalapeño into rings, the membrane piece falls out onto the cutting board and get discarded. Of course if you want them spicy, leave them in. If you want them über hot, you can use the red jalapeños. These are more ripe than the green ones and have developed more heat. Discard the stems and put the cut jalapeños in the jar. Pour in enough vinegar to cover them, and that's it! Store them in the fridge and enjoy for up to three months.

‘The North Water is a British mysterious drama series based on the novel Ian McGuire’s novel of the same name. The series chronicles the experience of Patrick Sumner, a former naval surgeon who sailed as a new physician. Set against the rough climate of the Arctic Ocean, this dubious exhibition has many beautiful snow-covered landscapes. Want to know more about these beautiful natural areas? We have collected all the important details for the recording of ‘The North Water‘.
The North Water Series Filming Locations
The main filming of the first episode of ‘The North Water’ started on September 14, 2019, and ended on September 24, 2020. Completion of the recording was delayed due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic.
The series has also been shot in Hungary, Norway, Canada, and England. Let’s take a closer look at some of the places where recordings are made.
Svalbard, Norway Location
Svalbard (formerly known as Spitsbergen or Spitzbergen), an archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic, is one of the most important sculptures in the game. Episodes of the exhibition were filmed extensively near Svalbard and the intertwined parts of the sea. Other scenes were also shot in Longyearbyen and near the capital, Svalbard.
The boat, which can be seen sailing on the icy ice of the Arctic Ocean in the game, is a three-foot-long [3 m] boat named Activ of London, built in Denmark. The ship itself serves as a starting point and exhibition space.
Actors and crew members tried to reach 81 degrees North to follow the film sequence on the ice pack. In doing so, the series was recorded at the northernmost point of the game ever shot. “When I first read this book, I loved it, and it was so cruel and beautiful. And the nature of the story, in the Arctic Ocean, looked very good in this novel, and I wanted to try to repeat it somehow, ”creator Andrew Haigh told IGN while explaining the motive for filming the series in some of the worst weather conditions.
Basingstoke, England Location
The North Water, Basingstoke is one of the last places for players and staff to visit to record the series. Due to Covid-19 international restrictions, the recording had to be stopped in Budapest. A few months later, production resumed at the studio in Basingstoke in the UK, where the group reportedly continued the last four days of shooting. The city is located in the Hampshire region of the south-central part of England.
Budapest, Hungary Location
Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is one of the first places to visit with actors to make a film. The North Water shooting of the mysterious exhibition took place in the city and surrounding areas. It is possible that some scenes were filmed near St. Louis.
The producers also shot scenes in the sets built at Astra Studios, located at 1-3 Napraforgó Street in Mogyoród, 12 miles from downtown Budapest.
Iqaluit, Canada Location
Iqaluit is also one of the exhibition’s exhibitions. The snow-covered city of northern Nunavut, Canada, has a magnificent climate that makes it an ideal place to record an exhibition. The North Water.

Beaten last week by Hull, facing a fan revolt and sporting a beer-guzzling owner who just released a wordy essay on why he cannot set foot in St James’ Park ever again – it is surely no surprise that Chris “The Curse” Hughton wants someone, anyone, to take the reins pronto…
Hughton – a figure of mild hate and strong derision at White Hart Lane – has found himself to be the last man standing at Newcastle – but he makes no bones about the fact that a permanent managerial appointment has to happen soon.
“The most important thing is we start to get some stability at the club,” said Hughton. “Of course I would go along with everybody that as soon as a decision is made on who will be the permanent manager it will be for the better.”
Away from the stresses of St James’ this week, Hughton thinks his men might fare better:
“We are getting away from what we had last week,” he said. “Maybe that is a help. We need to halt the slide.”
So, whilst Mike Ashley was spending the week sunning himself in Dubai attempting to hook an Arab billionaire to buy Newcastle, poor Chris Hughton was left in charge of the Geordie ne’er’dowells.

German court quashes far-right politician's arson conviction
BERLIN (AP) - A German federal court has overturned a far-right politician's conviction for burning down a building intended as refugee housing, and ordered a retrial.
In a ruling published Thursday, the Federal Court of Justice quashed the February 2017 conviction of Maik Schneider, a local politician with the National Democratic Party.
It said that, during his trial, a juror had asked the defendant whether he believed the "nonsense" he was telling the Potsdam state court. It found the court wrongly rejected a bid by the defendant to have the juror removed from the trial.

The 2015 arson attack destroyed a gym in Nauen, northwest of Berlin.
Schneider claimed the fire was an accident and denied xenophobic motives. He was sentenced to eight years for arson and another 18 months for separate offenses.

The Ukrainian government's number two leader resigned Tuesday after the country's Parliament repealed legislation banning public protests.
President Viktor Yanukovych accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov on Tuesday as the government tried to quell protests that have swept the country over the last month and turned violent over the weekend.
Yanukovych's government posted a notice online saying Azarov's resignation would trigger the dismissal of the entire cabinet.
The move is unlikely to satisfy protesters who are upset over Yanukovych's ties to Russia and are demanding new presidential elections. Yanukovych decided in November to abandon plans for tighter links with the European Union, instead opting for more trade ties with Russia.
Vice President Joe Biden called Yanukovych on Monday for the second time in a week and urged him to take “immediate measures” to de-escalate the tension between protesters and the government and repeal the anti-dissent laws passed Jan. 16.
Biden's message to Yanukovych also included a thinly veiled threat.
“The vice president reaffirmed the unwavering support of the United States for a Ukraine that rejects violence and that respects the human rights and dignity of its citizens in accordance with their European aspirations and their desire to restore their country back to economic health,” the White House said.
In recent days, some Ukrainians have turned to the U.S. for support. The White House's “We the People” petition website has 11 petitions related to the pro-democratic protests in Ukraine.
One petition, which attracted more than 126,000 signatures in five days, calls on the U.S. to impose visa and financial sanctions against Yanukovych and members of his cabinet. Another, which garnered 56,000 signatures in two days, calls for the U.S. to support the “peaceful overthrow” of the Ukrainian government.
The White House has a policy of responding to any petition that receives at least 100,000 signatures within 30 days.

After Democrats saw their House majority shrink on Election Day last week, various members of the party have been turning their backs on the radically liberal mantra of “defund the police.” Despite this, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has just spoken out to stand by the mantra that may be costing her party dearly.
During a virtual town hall, Ocasio-Cortez admitted that some critics were “apoplectic” over defund the police, according to the New York Post. However, she defended the mantra by saying that too much money is pumped into the NYPD at the expense of other preventative safety measures like school guidance counselors and mental health workers.
“Our [police budget] is too high,” she explained, citing the fact that the NYPD budget is $6 billion. She added that the unchecked spending on the NYPD “becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy” and lowers spending on other things like housing and healthcare.
“It’s about a budget shift,” Ocasio-Cortez explained.

The self-described Democratic Socialist claimed that her constituents often complain that “too many people” are killed by “police violence.”
“It’s my job to listen. We need to invest in those other types of safety,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We need to stop being so reactionary.”
Despite the fact that she is widely criticized by even the moderates in her own party, she said she has no problem being a thorn in the side of the Democratic establishment.
“I feel very centered and at peace. This is what you brought me to Congress to do,” Ocasio-Cortez said, adding that she not only attacks Republicans, but also holds “all institutions accountable and that includes the Democratic Party.”
She went on to say that she plans to hold Joe Biden accountable, should he become president. Specifically, Ocasio-Cortez said she will make sure that he follows through on the Green New Deal plan, as she served on Biden’s Climate Change Task Force that crafted the final product.
In the end, Ocasio-Cortez said that she is “encouraged” by how things are moving towards the progressive world that she wants to see.
“There’s a shift going on,” she said.

text: The metallocarboxypeptidase inhibitor identified in the intestinal parasite Ascaris (ACI) comprises 67 amino acid residues and a novel fold consisting of two structurally similar modules, an N-terminal (NTD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD), each stabilized by two disulfide bonds. Both domains are linked via a connecting segment (CS) that includes a fifth disulfide bond. Here, we investigated the oxidative folding and reductive unfolding of ACI. It folds through a sequential formation of disulfide bonds that finally leads to the accumulation of a heterogeneous population of 5-disulfide non-native scrambled isomers. The reshuffling of these species into the native form constitutes the major kinetic trap of the folding reaction, being efficiently enhanced by the presence of reducing agent or protein disulfide isomerase. The analysis of ACI variants lacking the NTD reveals that this domain is indispensable for the correct folding of such inhibitor, most likely acting as a pro-segment that helps in the acquisition of a CTD native structure, the fundamental inhibitory piece. In addition to the CTD, both the NTD and the CS play a significant role in the function of ACI, as derived from the diminished inhibitory capacity of the truncated ACI variants. Finally, the reductive unfolding and disulfide scrambling analyses reveal that ACI displays an extremely high disulfide and conformational stability, which is consistent with its physiological function in a hostile environment. Altogether, the results provide important clues about the two-domain nature of ACI and may pave the way for its further engineering and development of a minimized inhibitor. © 2009 American Chemical Society.

There is a whole wealth of reasons that it worth investing in the front facade of your home. For one it makes it a beautiful space for your family, and the neighbors won’t be too mad about either, as it can help raise the ambiance of the entire area. Of course, it also adds value to your property too, so it indeed is an action worth taking. Sadly, too many homeowners are put off improving the front facade of their property because of all the cost involved. Happily, I have come up with the post below that can help you do this, all without it cleaning out your savings. Read on for some advice.
The size and type of garden that you have at the front of your property is something depends on the kind of building in which you live. In particular, detached homes often have extensive front gardens that can benefit from a refresh and tidy up.
In fact, something as simple as treating and mowing the lawn can help to optimize the curb appeal of your property. To get started on this tasks it’s a good idea to get some grass seed mixed with fertilizer and treat brown patches, so you get a more even green finish.
In an exceptionally warm climate, adding automatic sprinklers can also help keep your grass green, although buying and installing these can be pricey. Therefore by mowing your lawn regularly, which something that doesn’t cost anything at all, you can help to keep your yard as lush and green as possible and improve the frontage of your home.
Of course, gardens aren’t all about lawns, and they will include flowers and plants as well. Bright flowers are a detail that can lift even the gloomiest of home frontages, and so it is worth sewing some from seed, or buying low-cost flowering plants as they don’t tend to be too taxing on the wallet either.
Concerning the trees, shrubs, and bushes in your garden, it can help to keep them as trimmed and as neat as possible if you want your boost curb appeal. Of course, there are plenty of professionals that can do this job for you, although it’s easy to save money by making this a DIY project. Something that the video clip below can help you master.
Do bear in mind too, that even if you haven’t got a large front yard, you can still add some decorative floral touches by using things like window boxes.
Window boxes are cheap and easy way to boost the curb appeal of your house.
In fact, window boxes can work in your favor if you are trying to create maximum impact with minimum spend as they are relatively inexpensive to purchase compared to filling a whole flower bed with blooms.
The actual front wall of your home is a vital element to perfect as well if you are looking to make give your house as much curb appeal as possible. Of course, what you can do to promote this will depend on the materials with which your home in finished.
Those folks that have a wooden home can often get away with repainting or varnishing the wood at the front of the building, a task that can be done pretty quickly without professional help.
Those with stone or brick-fronted properties may have a slightly tougher time of it, as their frontage may need cleaning. Usually, homeowners choose to do this by using a technique called sandblasting which can be expensive, although there are some fantastically powerful pressure washers on the market now, and as you can lease these from a rental shop for the duration, something that can save even more money.
The driveway is another vital aspect of home frontage that needs to looks its best. In fact, a well maintained drive can even add value to your home. Sadly drives and the materials that they consist of are often expensive. What this means is that it’s much better to repair and tend to the driveway that you have then replace the entire thing.
To that end, those folks with gravel driveways can usually get away with adding in a few extra bags of stone and raking the stray ones back into the designated space. However, people with concrete, brick, or stone drives may have their work cut out for them, as these will need regular weeding, washing, and even spot repairs to keep them looking tip top.
Adjacent to the driveway is usually the garage, and therefore this is another element of you home frontage that needs to be at its visual best. To achieve this, first, remove any plants or shrubbery that are blocking your vehicles entry and making things look untidy. Garage door openers add to curb appeal.


Someone who pairs a second-generation Apple Pencil with both of those new iPad Professional fashions will realize some new behaviors when scribbling at the pill’s display. A brand new Hover Mode permits the stylus to be detected by way of the iPad Professional whilst it’s just about a part inch (12 millimeters) clear of the display. It’s a style aimed toward virtual artists, because it might be used to fine-tune brush keep watch over; when a Pencil is soaring above the display, the iPad displays a dot the place the end will contact down, giving customers an opportunity to raised line up their strokes.
Apple has additionally up to date its fundamental iPad however there are some caveats right here. The brand new Tenth-generation iPad now prices $449—infrequently what you’ll name inexpensive. That is why Apple remains to be proceeding to promote the Ninth-gen iPad (without a value aid, unfortunately) at $329. The enhancements do not fairly justify a $120 value soar, however you’ll be able to be the pass judgement on.
There is now a refreshed glance, so the newest slate has uniform and narrow bezels round a somewhat better 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. It is powered by way of the A14 chip, which we first noticed at the iPhone 12, with a 12-megapixel rear digicam (as an alternative of 8 MP), a USB-C charging port, and 5G connectivity when you go for a mobile type. The selfie digicam is now located within the heart bezel of the pill when held horizontally, so it must make video calls much less awkward since you will not must stare at one finish of the display.
The largest drawback is the loss of fortify for the second-gen Apple Pencil. The bottom iPads stay the one capsules in all the lineup to simply fortify the first-gen stylus. That suggests you’ll be able to’t magnetically connect and price it by means of the pill. And because Apple ditched the Lightning port, you’ll be able to wish to purchase a $9 adapter to recharge the stylus with the USB-C port. (New first-gen Apple Pencils include an adapter.)
On the very least, all modernized iPad fashions now use a USB-C connector to price and connect equipment. iPhones are the lone Lightning cable holdouts in Apple’s lineup, despite the fact that that can be converting quickly because of new laws within the EU requiring all shopper cellular gadgets bought there to make use of USB-C ports.
New Apple TV
As for the brand new Apple TV, patrons gets to pick out between two choices: a type with just a Wi-Fi connection, and one with Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port. The Wi-Fi-only model comes with 64 GB of garage, whilst the Ethernet type will get 128 GB. Each fashions pump out 4K visuals and Dolby sound, and in case your TV and soundbar don’t fortify the ones codecs, you’ll get 1080p visuals and stereo sound. Each fashions use Apple’s A15 cellular chip, which is a technology older than the chips present in Apple’s latest iPhones.
Each Apple TV fashions are inexpensive than the former variations. The Wi-Fi type begins at $129 and the Ethernet-enabled type is $149. Then again, each fashions of the final iteration of Apple TVs incorporated an Ethernet connection, and now that characteristic is being restricted to only the pricier field. They are to be had for preorder now and can hit retail outlets on November 4.

In September, the National School Boards Association sent the White House a letter likening school-board protesters to “domestic terrorists” and requested that the administration use any laws at its disposal, including the anti-terrorism PATRIOT Act, to investigate.
At the time, parents across the nation were confronting school boards over their support for Covid masking, shutdowns, and curricula that included critical race theory or associated anti-American and racialist materials. These issues were at the center of numerous political campaigns, most notably Virginia’s governor’s race.
Attorney General Merrick Garland swiftly acquiesced to this odd and unprecedented request. He issued a memorandum to the FBI and U.S. attorneys’ offices directing both to investigate parents protesting school boards and promised to look at a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff,” even though the vast majority of the incidents forwarded by the NSBA did not involve any threats of physical violence. Even the threats did not warrant federal involvement. But Garland’s act served to put parents who had voiced legitimate grievances regarding their children’s education under a pall of suspicion.
When a tweet from critical-race-theory opponent Christopher Rufo that highlighted the letter went viral, numerous major media outlets attempted to gaslight the public. “Contrary to false claims circulating online,” one Associated Press “fact check” noted, “the National School Boards Association didn’t ask President Joe Biden to label protesting parents ‘domestic terrorists,’ and there’s no indication Biden or the Justice Department called them terrorists, either.”
Yet the letter literally used the words “domestic terrorists” on two separate occasions. And it was no accident. The administration’s involvement was predicated on the existence of potential widespread violent “domestic terror.” It was the only real justification for White House intervention using the PATRIOT Act.
After the issue blew up, the NSBA apologized for sending the letter, noting that there “was no justification for some of the language included in the letter. We should have had a better process in place to allow for consultation on a communication of this significance.”
But, as it turns out, the NSBA had indeed consulted with someone on the letter: Education secretary Miguel Cardona.
Internal emails, obtained by Parents Defending Education through a Freedom of Information Act request, show that the NSBA coordinated with the White House and the Department of Justice before sending President Biden its request. In an email dated October 5, NSBA secretary-treasurer Kristi Swett noted that NSBA interim CEO Chip Slaven “told the officers he was writing a letter to provide information to the White House, from a request by Secretary Cardona.” In another memo, Viola Garcia, then NSBA president (soon to be appointed to a cushy federal job by Cardona), detailed the organization’s interactions with the administration leading up to the letter.
In a carefully worded statement, an Education Department spokesperson claims that while Cardona “did not solicit a letter from the NSBA, to understand the views and concerns of stakeholders, the Department routinely engages with students, teachers, parents, district leaders and education associates.”
Did the Biden administration really seek to understand the views and concerns of stakeholders, or did Cardona offer the NSBA specific advice on how to ease the way for Garland to write his memorandum? Whose idea was it to use the “domestic terror” verbiage and bring up the Patriot Act as an investigative tool?
Such a scandal deserves congressional hearings. And if Cardona helped engineer this transparently political effort to chill speech, he should resign forthwith.

ASEAN KEY DESTINATIONS
IT Spending In Malaysia To Grow
Total IT spending in Malaysia is to grow by 9 percent to US$6.5 billion this year compared to US$5.9 billion last year due to growing confidence in the local economy.
Total spending for telecommunications in Malaysia is expected to grow by 5.3 per- cent, hitting US$7.3 billion this year from last year, said International Data Corporation (IDC) in a statement today.
Roger Ling, research manager for software research at IDC Asean, said IDC expects more changes in the Malaysian information and communications technology (ICT) market, allowing for growth capitalisation moving into 2011.
Ling said IT spending growth is expected to be driven by factors such as the government's continued efforts to raise broadband penetration level.
This includes outsourcing initiatives by organisations looking to address increased IT complexity and continued adoption of system infrastructure software for operations and management of computing infrastructure resources.
The latter is a key element of IT infrastructure deployment and operations.
"IDC expects to see further growth in telecommunications spending for Malaysia this year but expects to see a 3.2 per cent decline in fixed voice compared to last year," it said.
IDC said fixed data will take the lead with an estimated 12.7 per cent growth from last year followed by wireless data and wireless voice.
It also expects the success of the Apple iPad in the global market to trigger similar trends in Malaysia.
The local market is expected to experience significant boom in the tablet market for this year as consumer feedback and reception for iPad have been overwhelmingly positive so far and will likely carry on this year.

Two executives for Xcel Energy regularly commute by corporate jet from their homes in Colorado to the utility's Minneapolis headquarters, and ratepayers are being asked to pay part of the tab.
Regulators in Colorado have questioned the 268 round-trip commutes, typically one per week, that the unidentified Xcel executives have taken since 2009. They traveled on the company's leased Learjets, which cost $4,600 per flight hour to operate, regulatory filings say.
"The company's ratepayers do not benefit by these two employees commuting via the two corporate jets to their primary place of employment" in Minnesota, said Abel Moreno, a rate analyst for the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, in testimony challenging a $142 million electric rate hike request.
The concerns in Colorado come three years after Minnesota's attorney general questioned Xcel's pricey executive travel, prompting passage of a 2010 state law mandating more disclosure about such expenses.
On Thursday, the attorney general's office expressed renewed concerns.
"In difficult financial times, our office's position is that it's not appropriate to charge ratepayers for those kinds of aviation costs," said Ben Wogsland, spokesman for Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson. "A lot of people are hurting out there. Belts are being tightened everywhere."
In Colorado, Moreno also questioned other Xcel travel, saying teleconferencing and webcasts are cheaper options. The travel costs are just one issue in a broader rate case now pending before the Colorado PUC. Its staff has recommended a hike of only $7.2 million.
The names of the two commuting executives have not been released, though filings say one lives in Denver and the other in Boulder, Colo.
Xcel, an electric and natural gas utility that operates in eight states including Colorado, leases two eight-seat Bombardier Learjet 45s. One is based at Denver International Airport and another at St. Paul Downtown Airport, regulatory filings say. The 2011 corporate jet budget is $5.7 million, part of which is spread across Xcel's operations, the filings say.
Xcel defended the corporate jets, saying they're only 9 percent more expensive than flying on commercial airlines when all factors, including staff time in airports, are considered. Xcel said it doesn't seek full recovery of travel costs from ratepayers in Colorado, Minnesota or elsewhere.
"The use of business aircraft increases our ability to manage staff, projects and operations in different states," the utility said in a statement, adding that its service area covers 100,000 square miles and many managers have responsibilities in multiple states.
It is not the first time Xcel's travel costs have been questioned.
In 2009, the Minnesota attorney general successfully argued that ratepayers shouldn't get tapped for "exorbitant spending by highly compensated, high-ranking individuals." The examples then included $45,000 for a trip to Europe by top executives and $113,000 for a board retreat.
The issue of corporate jets also has arisen in Xcel's current electric rate case in Minnesota. According to the state Commerce Department, Xcel initially sought to tap state ratepayers for $1.7 million of its corporate jet costs for 2011.
Xcel later dropped the request to $730,000 -- an amount the attorney general opposed, but an administrative judge accepted. "[W]e demonstrated it is reasonable to include part of our corporate aviation costs in rates," Xcel said in an e-mail to the Star Tribune.
Under a Minnesota law passed in 2010, the state PUC "may not allow" utilities to charge ratepayers for travel expenses that are "unreasonable and unnecessary for the provision of utility service."
Xcel's corporate jets flew 631 trips in 2010, according to an analysis the utility commissioned for Colorado regulators. About eight out of every 10 flights were between Denver and Minneapolis. Other destinations were Eau Claire, Wis., and Amarillo, Texas, where Xcel also does business.
Xcel said about 70 percent of all trips taken were by non- executive employees.

Onion, which has always been more than a food: a real drug. In recent years, science has decided to investigate the properties of the onion and the foods of its own family, such as garlic. Now the researchers have linked the consumption of onions with their protective action on the stomach, referring to serious problems such as cancer.

Onion and garlic, which has always been more than just food: real drugs. In recent years, science has decided to investigate the properties of onion and alimony of his own family, such asgarlic. Now researchers have linked the consumption of onions and garlic with their protective action of stomach, in reference to serious problems such as the cancer.
Lo study was published in the scientific journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. It was conducted by the experts of theUniversity of Milan and the Mario Negri Pharmacological Institute. The aim of the study is to provide new epidemiological data and to summarize the evidence on the association between onion and garlic intake and stomach cancer risk.
The researchers came to the following conclusion: the high consumption of foods of the Allium varieties, such as garlic and onions, is able to reduce the risk of gastric cancer. However, the experts are awaiting further scientific data to be able to give definitive confirmation.
The researchers compared the eating habits of 230 people diagnosed with gastric cancer with those of 547 healthy people. They observed that those who consumed at least 2 servings of onion per week, weighing about 50 grams each, had a risk of getting sick of stomach cancer lower than 40% compared to those who did not eat onions.
"To get a more complete view, we also carried out a meta-analysis of the studies reported in the literature and related to more than 10 thousand cases, which confirms the potential protective effects of onions and garlic against stomach cancers" - has explained Carlo La Vecchia, professor of Epidemiology at the University of Milan and co-author of the study.
Along with onions, also the consumption of garlic it turned out to be useful. In fact, the habit of eat garlic every day has been associated with a more than 30% reduction in the risk of gastric cancer. Therefore garlic and onions, and in general foods that contain sulfur compounds, such as leeks, they are useful for cancer prevention and for the slowing down of a bacterium that causes ulcers and gastritis, Helicobacter Pylori. Previous studies they had indicated garlic as a protective food against the risk of colon cancer.
Science especially praises the content of quercetin of garlic and onions. It is a flavonoid from the category of polyphenols that is able to reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, a very important factor in protecting the body from cardiovascular risk.

The results showed that the alpha receptor played a key role in increasing aggression in short days and decreasing aggression in long days.
"So the differences in how estrogen affected behavior in long days compared to short days could not be explained by the hormone using different receptors in different times of year," Trainor said.
So how did estrogen have opposite behavioral effects depending on seasonal light conditions?
The researchers generated another hypothesis by using microarrays, small chips that examine thousands of genes at a time to see which ones are active. They compared genes from mice living in winter-like short days with those living under longer day lengths. The results showed that certain genes associated with estrogen were more active in the long-day mice than in the short-day mice.
That suggested estrogen works in mice living in long days through these specific genes, creating a genomic pathway leading to less aggressive behaviors, Trainor said.
The flip side of this finding is that estrogen increases aggression in short-day mice through different cellular mechanisms not involving genomic pathways.
While it would be difficult to test that hypothesis directly, neuroscientists know that when hormones work through genomic pathways, behavioral effects can take hours, days or even weeks to occur. But neuroscientists believe that when hormones send messages to cells outside of this gene-controlled network, behavior can change in minutes.
So in another study, the researchers injected short-day and long-day mice with estradiol, a type of estrogen. The findings showed that the injection increased aggression in mice in winter-like short days almost immediately. It had no noticeable immediate behavioral effect on the mice living in longer day lengths.
Overall, then, these studies showed estrog

His act features a clean, refreshing approach to humor as he is a favorite in both the Christian and secular markets.


REAL Housewives of Cheshire’s Tanya Bardsely has undergone a procedure to tighten her vagina.
The 35-year-old, who is a mother of four, tested out the procedure, known as ‘FemiWand’ at the Vivo Clinic, while co-star Dawn Ward watched on - in what looks set to be a series finale to remember.
While Dawn resisted the urge to test out the non-invasive treatment, she is looking to purchase the machine for her own Chester lipo and beauty clinic.
Last month The Sun Online revealed that Tanya has been picked by the show’s producers to get the treatment done.
As the time the delighted beauty told us: “It’s great news.
"I’m having the op for a new fanny, so it should be great for the series.
“We are having so much fun it’s unbelievable.
“I’m not a bit worried about going through with this – I’ve had so much stuff done before so bring it on!"
The beauty gave birth to son Ralphi in August, adding to her brood with Stoke City footballer Phil.
She has already re-gained her stunning pre-pregnancy shape and has been spotted out partying in Manchester with co-star and fellow WAG Leanne Brown.
Mum -of-three Leanne, 39, as well as Dawn Ward, 42, Ampika Pickston, 34, and Magali Gorre all missed out on the genital spruce-up.
Real Housewives of Cheshire producers hit on the idea to offer one of the beauties a revamping of their nether regions to boost viewing figures.
The procedure, which starts at £495, is a non-surgical tightening treatment that improves the health and vitality of vaginal tissue.
It uses high-intensity focused ultrasound that rebuilds the skins elastin while tightening at the same time.
