Zee TV's new show Hamari Bahu Silk premiered on June 3, 2019. The show starring Chahat Pandey and Zaan Khan in the lead replaced Aapke Aa Jane Se. Zaan Khan plays Naksh Parikh, who is passionate about photography but his family wants him to join their business. The Naamkarann actor learnt photography and also lost 12 kg to get into the skin of his character.
Zaan plays a 22-year-old on the show and wanted to look convincing. In order to fit into his character, the actor lost 12 kg over a period of one month. The actor spent his time playing football and going for long runs to shed those extra kilos.
"I think it is important to look and feel your character. I weighed around 80kgs before I took up the character of Naksh but the script demanded me to look a certain way so I had to shed 12kgs within a month's time and have touched 67kgs now. Well, it wasn't easy as I had to be mindful of my diet too. I invested the majority of my time playing my favourite sport football and indulged in multiple outdoor activities which helped me get the desired look. I hope the audiences enjoy watching me as Naksh Parikh," Zaan said in a statement.
Hamari Bahu Silk traces the story of Paakhi (Chahat), who starts working as a dubbing artist for sensuous scripts after she loses her father. Zaan Khan plays Naksh Parikh, whose passion is photography but his family pressurizes him to join the family business.

Withholding confections could alter elections for mayors in ways deleterious. The I’m Angry Blues by James A. Tweedie I’m angry at the President. I’m angry at the press. I’m angry that I’m stuck at home, my social life’s a mess! I’m angry for those out of work who cannot pay their bills. I’m angry at The Virus and the fear that it instills. I’m angry at the Democrats, whose anger’s worse than mine. I’m angry at Republicans, and their collective whine. I’m angry that I have to worship God in cyber space. I’m angry that I’m forced to wear a mask across my face. I’m angry for the time that I’ve allowed to slip away I’m angry that I’m eating too much food at home each day I’m angry that my butt is super-glued into a chair In front of my computer screen, it all seems so unfair. I’m angry the economy has tanked, at least for now. I’m angry that I want to make things right, but don’t know how. I’m angry that my mother’s locked inside her room alone, And angry that the only way to see her is by phone. The Bible says at sunset I should let my anger go. I do, but in the morning, it wakes up and says, “Hello.” I’m angry that I’m angry, it’s not how I want to be. So angry I could spit, but that would not be safe, you see. I’m tired of being angry so I’ll go downstairs, instead, And take my anger out on dough, and bake a loaf of bread. And then compose a poem or perhaps create a song, And set my heart on something good instead of all that’s wrong. For anger is an attitude that I don’t have to choose. Instead, I’ll let some brighter colors chase away the blues. My anger won’t achieve a thing. Things are what they will be. The only thing that I can change, at least for now, is me. Villanelle for C-19 by Lloyd Jacobs As quarantine forbids the loving touch and death is loveless, its house unfit to live, and playful Cupid’s murdered with a scutch, isolate and sequester is life to botch. Celibacy is blessed, but joy it cannot give, and quarantine forbids the loving touch. God’s command to flourish thus to scotch with pestilential fear, the devil’s sieve, and playful Cupid’s murdered with a scutch. Rebel and love, kiss life, make bold a putsch of love licit and illicit, there’s naught to shrive and quarantine forbids the loving touch. Deeply intagliate our minds, love’s joy to teach. For grasping reckless joy, we pray, forgive, as playful Cupid’s murdered with a scutch. But ah, do I like it? No not much! Seditious and defiant, may each his wish receive tho quarantine forbids the loving touch, and playful Cupid’s murdered with a scutch.

More than three quarters of people in Doncaster would not sleep with someone on a first date, a new survey has revealed.
And the statistics also revealed that 63% of the town's singletons are not using dating apps for casual encounters, but are looking for love.
But the figures also showed that one fifth of people are scared they will never find their soulmate.
Gone are the days where you could chat someone up at a dinner dance - but even the concept of talking to someone in a bar or club seems to be facing extinction.
Instead, people have turned to technology to find the perfect mate.
The most notorious trend to come out of dating apps is the casual hook up – where people just ‘swipe right’ for a one-night stand - because it’s easy, rather than trying to invest in a proper relationship.
Dating app TrueView.me, which carried out the survey discovered that 63% do NOT look for casual fun when it comes to online dating.
And it seems our standards – and morals – are generally pretty high, too: 77% of us would NOT sleep with someone on a first date.
Of the 23% of randy little devils who would sleep with someone on a first date, though, 77.8% of those were male.
And when it comes to ages, it’s actually Generation X – the 35 to 44 year olds – who would be the most likely to jump into the sack on date one, with 50% of those admitting they would go for it.
The least likely were, perhaps surprisingly, Millennials – only 11.1% of 18 to 24 year olds would rush into sexual relations.
A fifth of us (20%) are petrified we’ll never find our soulmate - of these, it’s men more than women – over half were male.
And the older generation are worried about being lonely for the rest of their days – over a third (33.3%) are 65 and over.
Finally, the results found that almost a third of us (32.3%) dislike the term ‘hook up culture’.
“It seems that Brits are more romantic and hopeful about finding love than we might have imagined,” says Matt Verity, founder of TrueView “And that’s encouraging, as these new methods of dating are only going to evolve and get more prevalent.”

Introduction to Reggae and Dancehall: Music 101
May 26, 2021
Caribbean Music is lively, lovely, and full of fun. You can see the culture, and colors peeking in the song.
So are you bored because of the quarantine or the lockdown? Looking for something to listen to? Try Reggae and Dancehall, you would never regret it.
In the World music scene, Caribbean Islands are always a big name. The culture, music, and vibrancy shine through, despite the adversities of time. We have been gifted with so many talented singers and musicians, who are from these countries.
The music has gone international, and it’s not surprising at all. Some popular music genres originated here, such as:
- Dancehall music
However, these are only some of the names I have mentioned from a really long list. We cannot discuss all these genres today within this constraint. But we will do it in later blogs.
For now, we will discuss two genres, reggae, and Dancehall.
Reggae is a music style that comes straight from Jamaica. We were first introduced to it during the 1960s, which was already a historically significant time. It consists of elements of other music styles as well, such as:
- American jazz
- Rhythm and Blues
In the earlier days, it’s the best way to do commentary on political, social, and economic issues, provide news, and spread gossip. It still is, and some artists took the liberty to bend it artistically.
According to music experts, Reggae was a mechanism to spread words about Rastafari. Rastafari itself originated as a means of protest against British colonialism at that time. But in the later stages, people wrongly began to associate it and Reggae as a promotional tool for criminal activities, and violence. Yes, it may have slang and other words like it, but no Reggae artist will say that they promote criminal acts.
What are the elements of this music style?
- Two guitars (one used by the lead vocalist, or to support the singer, and the other one creates rhythm)
It has an offbeat track, with second and fourth beats accentuated, and the third beat usually has a guitar note. If we have to talk about tempo, it’s quite slow and provides a soothing effect. And as mentioned earlier, these songs are usually quite lyrical, discussing serious and light-hearted topics.
This genre has several talented artists, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Cliff was one of them. These artists were successful in making the genre popular internationally.
Do you have recommendations for a playlist?
Yes, I do. These are the Reggae songs I would listen to, on any day:
- Pressure Drop
- I Can See Clearly Now
- One Love
- Many Rivers To Cross
- Someone Loves You
- Get Up, Stand Up
- Police and Thieves
- Untold Stories
- Lover Man
- Slavery Days
- Everything Crash
- What One Dance Can Do
- Caan Dun
- Ram Goat Liver
- Wear You To The Ball
You can listen to any song from the list, and try other ones as well.
Now, let’s check out dancehall Music:
Dancehall is another form that comes from Jamaica. This one originated in the 1970s and is the precursor of rap music. In this music, the artist or the DJ bashes or speaks over the music.
This music is usually played in halls, that’s why it’s named like that. Notable names in this genre include Shabba Ranks, Yellow Man, and King Jammy.
In the 1980s, we saw the introduction of digital elements, giving it new recognition.
What are the elements of this genre?
- Usage of electronic keyboard is crucial here
- Usage of riddims
The tempo of this genre can change, but usually, it’s more upbeat. The lyrics can vary too. Like Reggae, it has faced the heat of criticism and went for a downhill spiral. But it is making a comeback, as many singers are modifying the genre to suit modern tastes.
What Dancehall songs should I listen to?
These are my recommendations, and the songs listed here showcase the talented artists’ skill and uncanny power to get the message across.
- Murder She Wrote
- Bam Bam
- Ring The Alarm
- Who am I?
- Here I come
- You Don’t Love Me (No, no, no)
- Get Busy
- Budy Bye
- Sycamore Tree
- Rich Girl
- Everyone Falls in Love
- Just One of Those Days
- Ghetto Story
- Girls Dem Sugar
- Ice Cream Love
- Gimme The Light
- What The Hell The Police Could Do
- Pon De River Pon De Bank
These genres have given birth to different sub-genres, each of them with famous songs, and artists. If you want to learn more about them, keep your eyes peeled here.
What’s the difference between these two?
- Dancehall is more free, more upbeat, and funky. It says about the harsh realities we cannot escape from.
- You cannot sit in a chair while listening to Dancehall
- Reggae is comparatively calm, and conscious.
- It’s soothing and has a meditative effect
These genres have a massive fan following, both in the Caribbean Islands and abroad. Now, they are being used as a powerful tool for communication by artists across the globe. In the USA, you will find singers singing these songs, and the audience erupting in chorus.
Both these popular genres came from Jamaica, and as a female caribbean artist, I could not be more proud. I regularly listen to these songs, new and old, whenever I am in the mood.
Music is very dynamic, and it changes according to the subsequent time. This is a proven fact seen through different generations.
If you are a first-timer listening to Caribbean music, I would ask you to start by listening to them. And if you are a fan of rap, then you would love Dancehall and Reggae.
I was introduced to these forms from quite an early age. If you want to listen to these songs, you can tune in to different streaming platforms. I sing songs from different genres, and I hope you find them according to your taste.

These players firmly stand at attention.
The Legends Football League — which features scantily clad women competing on the gridiron — responded to the NFL protest controversy on Wednesday by announcing “We Stand.”
The league released a YouTube video that depicts the women wearing their lingerie uniforms while saluting the flag during the national anthem.
The video notes that the players respect the sacrifices made so that “we as Americans can raise our flag across our nation.”
“The LFL salutes all those who make this the greatest the country in the world, and we stand in salute of our flag.”

After graduating from Wellesley College last June with a double major in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology and Jewish Studies, I knew I wanted to pursue a graduate degree in the arts, but I also knew I needed some work experience to help me define my specific path.
I enrolled in Masa Israel’s Career Israel, where I would be able to gain professional experience in the arts with a five-month long internship, practice my Hebrew, and live in Tel Aviv, getting the opportunity to experience Israel like an Israeli. Having grown up in a Jewish environment in West Winstor, New Jersey, I’d visited Israel a few times before, but never for this long.
For my internship I was placed with a start-up organization called Omanoot: Israel Through Art, which seeks to create a multimedia online portal through which individuals can access all aspects of Israeli art, including visual art, music, film, and literature. In my work, I was in direct communication with the artists in order to write their bios and most importantly, interpret their work for the Omanoot audience.
Early on, I realized that my responsibilities would include more than just interviews and writing, and that I would also be involved in defining the young organization’s mission. In addition to working on pinpointing Omanoot’s audience and deciding the best ways to access it, I took part in discussions in which we asked which artists are truly “Israeli” in an ever-increasing multicultural world. It was incredibly thrilling to be involved in these discussions, and to be challenged to come up with real solutions.
While becoming immersed in the Israeli art scene, I met hard-working and passionate people and became more confident in my spoken and written Hebrew. But far and away the most significant thing I gleaned from my time in Israel was that I realized the power of art and decided that I wanted it to be an integral part of my future. Before interning at Omanoot, I knew that art had intrinsic cultural value, and for that reason alone was interested in helping people access it online. But given Israel’s precarious political situation, the work took on much greater meaning. At Omanoot, I realized that through art, people on both sides of the conflict can come together to discuss their similarities and differences, ultimately creating peaceful solutions. In the past this has been done and through Omanoot, I believe it may happen again.
Back in the United States, I am currently enrolled in an MA program at Tufts in Museum Education. One day, I hope to work as an educator for a visual arts museum. Thanks to Masa Israel, I not only have a plan, but if anyone asks what I can do with an archaeology degree, I have a pretty good answer!

Laid back in Kep, Cambodia
Our guesthouse is near the “Crab Market” and so we walk though there are tuk tuks available to haul you around for not much money a dollar or two. Our guesthouse is on a hill and when we arrived , with all our luggage , a helper rode along and when the tuk tuk , these are powered by 125 cc motorcycles at most or about 10 times smaller that a Harley, started up the hill the helper jumped out and started to push. So that’s why the helper!!
- Crabs are kept in these “keeper” cages until needed shortly before being cooked. These cages are next to the tables of the Crab Market Restaurants. Dinner will run 10-20 US$ or 40,000-80,000 reils and both work.
- Crab Keeper Cages Next to Restaurants
This is the scene at the crab market when we arrive for our lunch. There is a lot of activity around the market including cooking and selling live and cooked crabs. Some of the women carry small scales that hook onto the handles of the bags the hold the crabs to check the weight. We would love to have the family here to enjoy the crabs with us. Well its off to dinner as the sun is beginning to get lower in the sky.
Our guest house is expanding like crazy, adding rooms to get to 21 from current 17. There are 15 people working on a couple op projects that we see from our porch. This picture is of the carpenter actually millwright shop that is on the property. The Carpenters make all the doors and window frames/windows for all I know but don’t see any in the works . I see beds being finished near the new rooms and think those are also made on site. The wood is beautiful an probably in the mahogany family though much harder than most varieties. They get by with the minimum/crudest of tools and do nice work considering.

March 15, 2010 - ECHL (ECHL)
The Gwinnett Gladiators of the ECHL announce that they will sign two-time baseball Cy Young Award winner Tom Glavine to be an honorary member of the team for their Saturday, March 20 home game against the Trenton Devils at 7:05 p.m. As a member of the team, Glavine will take part in a private pre-game autograph session with all proceeds going to benefit Keep Georgia Safe. In addition, Glavine will skate with the team for player introductions and pre-game ceremonies before the Gladiators honor him during the first intermission of the game as their first inductee into the "BE A GLADIATOR" Hall of Fame in recognition of his extraordinary personal contributions to the community.
Prior to the game, Glavine will take part in a private autograph session with all proceeds going to benefit Keep Georgia Safe, a non-profit charity dedicated to providing safety education and crime prevention training in Georgia and to operating the only network that sends Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued alerts for missing or dangerous persons.
"Keep Georgia Safe is honored that Tom Glavine and the Gwinnett Gladiators have recognized the importance of our work to provide safety education to Georgia's families and law enforcement officers," said Gary Martin Hays, founder and chairman of Keep Georgia Safe.
While sports fans are well aware of the baseball accomplishments of Tom Glavine, many may not be aware of his athletic ability in the sport of hockey. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Glavine lettered in both hockey and baseball at Billerica Memorial High School. While a senior in high school, Glavine was named the Merrimack Valley's Most Valuable Player in the sport of hockey. In 1984, Glavine was drafted in the 4th Round of the NHL Entry Draft, the 69th pick overall, by the Los Angeles Kings. For some perspective as to Glavine's comparative potential in the sport of hockey, 2009 NHL Hall of Fame inductees Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille were drafted that year two rounds and five rounds later than Glavine, respectively.
The focus of the team's "BE A GLADIATOR" Hall of Fame honor, however, is on Glavine's charitable contributions rather than his athletic ones. Over his career, Tom Glavine has lent his time, his financial resources and his energy to several causes - many of which the Gladiators also support. These include the Georgia Transplant Foundation, CURE Childhood Cancer, the Rally Foundation which is devoted to conquering childhood cancer, Operation Backpack which supplied over 10,000 backpacks filled with supplies to homeless school children and victims of Hurricane Katrina, and Catholic Athletes for Christ. In addition, Glavine coaches his son's youth hockey team here in Atlanta.
"Induction into the "BE A GLADIATOR" Hall of Fame is a special honorary designation that our organization will begin to bestow this season focusing on local individuals whose efforts make our community and our society a better place," said Gladiators President Steve Chapman. "As we go forward, we hope to honor many deserving individuals, regardless of their level of professional accomplishment or fame, who have played a part in helping others. Because of his dedicated efforts in so many charitable and humanitarian causes, the Gladiators consider it a privilege to have this opportunity to select Tom as our first inductee. And maybe, if we're lucky, he'll even stick around and chip in a few goals for us on the power play."

certainty, compassion, enthusiasm, hope, Jesus, joy, path, safe, source, suffering
Today’s Reading: Matthew 28:20 Version CEV
When suffering knocks at our door, enthusiasm and joy of living go out the window. This is how thousands of people live. But this does not have to happen to those who know Jesus through an experience of personal salvation.
With Jesus, suffering faces hope and certainty. Without Jesus and without hope life is nothing more than fatigue and afflictions; and any small problem becomes a mountain of difficulties. Daily, Jesus places himself at our side. He knows our steps and guides us to the safe path. Jesus clears up our ideas and leads us with a firm hand.
If any one of our children screams for help, we leave everything and run to his rescue. It is no different with Jesus, who gave his life for us. His presence at our side is guaranteed. He said: “And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”
Life can be much more than a sea of tears. Jesus is our source of joy and peace.

It was Thursday, Aug. 24 when chairman and chief executive officer Don Steele found out that one of the wood pellet fuel company’s silos began smoldering overnight.
Steele was hosting a group of seven guests who had flown from Nagoya, Japan for a tour of the facility.
“I advised them,” he explained. “I said we could go up and have a look. We might even go on the property and they wouldn’t see much. But, at that point in time we were evacuating,” Steele said.
Although reported as a fire in mainstream media, the incident was a smoldering situation.
Wood pellet consultancy company FutureMetrics’ John Swaan founded Pacific BioEnergy Corporation in 1994. His direction on-site is one of the main reasons why an explosion didn’t take place.
What was the winning solution? Nitrogen injection.
In an industry where the potential for explosions is all too common, this was the first time that a North American pellet operation successfully put out a smouldering issue.
“We have a number of incidents that have happened in our industry, mostly in Europe, that have not gone successfully,” Swaan said.
“There were some references that I shared with Don and his key people on-site,” Swaan recalled from the day. “And then his VP of operations gathered his key people around and took a look at what the options might be and looked at the references,” he explained. “I shared the report about how best to handle these [situations], that was done in a research centre in Sweden.”
“So we did some calculations, and based on those calculations, a decision was made with Don and his people to say ‘OK, let’s bring in the nitrogen.’”
“A simple reaction would be to try and open [the silo] up to put out the fire, which would have been catastrophic,” Steele said. “Any oxygen entering would have been disastrous. It was a tremendously risky proposition.”
The silo holds 3,500 tonnes of pellets. Steele said that’s the energy equivalent of about 10,000 barrels of oil. The incident had the potential to have the entire surrounding city evacuated.
The nitrogen injection equipment was brought to the facility from neighbouring Alberta within eight to 10 hours. Alberta’s oil fields have prompted the province’s first responders to be prepared for fire suppression missions to prevent explosions.
The smouldering material in the silo was injected with nitrogen for a few days until it was safe enough to remove in small amounts. The nitrogen arrives as a liquid and needs to be turned into a vapour.
“I think the first principle of it is, liquid nitrogen is an inert gas,” Steele said. “In other words, it can’t explode or burn. So you use it to push the oxygen out of the container and then try and seal it off. We tried with foam and various things, but once you’ve got the oxygen content below a certain level, [about] 10 per cent, you’ve minimized the risk of an explosion. So then you can start pulling the material out.


UK spies think they can handle Huawei in 5G networks. The US doesn’t agree
The UK National Cyber Security Centre has determined that the risks involved in the use of Huawei technology for 5G wireless networks can be mitigated. The conclusion by the intelligence agency is bound to frustrate the US government that has accused the Chinese tech giant of cyber espionage and has been calling upon its allies not to use the firm’s 5G networking technology.
Huawei has consistently denied the allegations and its founder Ren Zhengfei this week said that “[t]here’s no way the US can crush us,” as “[t]he world needs Huawei because we are more advanced.”

Who needs lip enhancement when there’s Thai food?
My eating apparatus has been blowtorched and it feels like the swelling may be permanent. It’s not, of course. The smarting is just part of the joy of a chili-laced mango salad, coleslaw with beestings laced through its sweet juicy strands.
We’re in the Nightmarket in Dublin’s Ranelagh. It’s a small place along the last strip of shops before the village peters out into a sweep of grand houses. The place used to be An Bhialann and the Night Market has been here for roughly four months.
Its name prompts memories of the Night Garden, sleepy toddlers and a theory that Makka Pakka’s song may have been a recitation of a Thai menu. Then the giddiness subsides and the serious eating begins.
Jutarat Suwankeeree is the chef and her partner Conor Sexton is front of house. She was born in Malaysia and moved as a small child to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, where her grandparents had a food stall.
She began helping her grandmother at the age of six, according to the restaurant’s website, going to the 4am food market and helping to prepare the dishes before school. She’s upstairs in the kitchen, Sexton tells us. He clocks the visiting critic as soon as we take our seats. Next month they plan to have 50 more seats upstairs beside her.
The Night Market feels like a place Ranelonians have taken it to their hearts as a neighbourhood favourite. We’ve taken an early table in order to squeeze in. A man drops off a birthday cake for a celebration later on.
It’s a small space downstairs, the decor substantially unchanged since its last incarnation. It’s more bistro than market stall with bare wooden tables gathered around a small bar, a herringbone timber floor and white painted brickwork. The Thai touches are low-key like the lotus flower tealight holders and long green strips of pandan leaf in the water carafes along with ribbons of cucumber.
All the energy is on the plates, in dishes that are inspired by Thai night markets, vibrant busy places that bustle with life, heat and smells after the blazing sun has set. The menu is divided into small plates on one side and heftier curries and wok dishes to the other.
Thai style prawn crackers are browner and crunchier than the communion wafer Chinese takeaway version. They come with sweet chilli sauce and a rubbly brown peanut satay that tastes like it was made from nuts roasted freshly in their skins.
We've been warned that the mango salad is hot but there is still that dissonance between the mild look of the matchsticks of shredded mango and the punch it packs. Pass the pandan leaf water. The salad is a side to the hoy shell yang, grilled fresh scallops, cooked with their roe on, their buttery sweetness taken in a more thrilling direction with lime juice and coriander and shreds of chilli.
The yum poo nim are palm-sized soft shell crab fried in a feather light batter and eaten whole with fish sauce in the salad dressing to ping pong the deeper fishy flavours back and forth.
There’s miang kham, a beautiful plate of cha plu or wild pepper leaves with small mounds of crunchy, spicy, sweet and tangy things on them in the form of shallots, dried shrimps, tiny lime triangles and peanuts. We roll up the soft leaves and dip them in a sludgy palm sugar and dried shrimp sauce. It’s a reversal of that crunchy outside soft inside spring roll experience. Here the skin is all silky peppery leaf with the crunch all inside.
The meat dishes are the stars of the night. Baby gem lettuce leaves serve as boats for spicy chopped duck breast in the larb ped esan. Again there is heat and sweet in this dish and crunch too in the form of pieces of duck skin flayed so they look like tiny four-limbed starfish crisped to become duck scratchings.
An 8oz Village Butcher rib eye has been grilled and sliced into juicy ribbons before being tumbled in a bowl with salad, half moons of light skinned Thai aubergine sliced raw with a creamy flavour. There's lemongrass, fresh mint and lime leaves and shallots, along with the regulation chilli. The por pia tod are nicely executed rice paper rolls, skin thin coverings over tofu avocado, thick sweet basil leaves with mint and carrot with a rice vinegar and soy dip to add zing.
There are western desserts but I try the khao niew mamaung, a Thai riff on nursery rice pudding. Sticky rice has been cooked in coconut cream into a sort of sweet risotto and then topped with crescents of mango and crunchy yellow bean. I like it but I'm in a club of one.
Food at the Night Market is a cooking legacy passed from grandmother to granddaughter, which lends that bleached out word “authentic” a little more heft. There’s fire in this restaurant but there’s also freshness and the best kind of casual fun dining that happens when proper street food goes indoors.
Nightmarket Thai Restaurant, 120 Ranelagh, Dublin 6 (01) 538 5200
Verdict: 8/10 Ranelagh got itself a great new Thai restaurant
Food Provenance: Limited Village Butcher credited for the beef
Music: Inaudible over the crowd
Wheelchair access: Yes
Vegetarian options: Limited

text: The prevalence of both NIDDM and IGT vary considerably within and between developing island populations of the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. Longitudinal data have been collected recently in a number of these populations, allowing incidence rates to be compared. The incidence of NIDDM in adults ranged from a low of 1.2/1000 person-years (p.y.) in peri-urban and rural Papua New Guinea (PNG) Highlanders to 22.5/1000 p.y. in Micronesian Nauruans and 24.0/1000 p.y. in the rural Wanigelas of coastal PNG. Intermediate rates were observed in Polynesian Western Samoans (16.6 and 5.7/1000 p.y. in urban and rural areas, respectively) and ethnically diverse Mauritians: Asian Indians (15.8), African-origin Creoles (12.2), and Chinese (10.4/1000 p.y.). When stratified by age and body mass index (BMI), incidence in Wanigelas exceeded rates observed in Pima Indians, and rates in Mauritians were higher than those of Nauruans. For subjects with IGT at baseline, rates of conversion to NIDDM ranged from 19.0 to 102.6/1000 p.y. Particularly after stratifying for age and body mass index, it was apparent that there was less variation between populations in rates of decompensation from IGT than was observed for total incidence. The relative risk of conversion to NIDDM for IGT versus normal subjects ranged from 2.1 in urban Samoans to 7.6 in Nauruans, but most estimates exceeded 5.

Forgive me father for I have sinned;
It’s been a while since I set foot in a confession box so bear with me if I seem a bit rusty.
I have let my heart be consumed by the black sin that is sloth, in the office I have taken to an indifference in my execution of my duties.
I have let my mind slide into the soothing embrace of procrastination, and this isn’t a first nor I fear the last time I’m seduced.
As such my lackluster approach is an expense stakeholders in my line of work can do without.
I seek the drive Thomas Shelby possesses and the wit of Hermione Granger as opposed to Garfield’s & Patrick [SpongeBob] respectively.
And I’m here for a sorely needed lesson.
Confucius says without the knowing of the power of words it is impossible to know more, so I understand a church confession is a private affair.
Yet the anonymity of Ktalk and a certain degree of vagueness have their practical uses, so I pray you’ll indulge my unconventional way.

I was born in Moscow, Russia - and have found my true Home in Columbia, South Carolina. Having grown up as a Russian American, I’ve become an expert in unifying contradictions and blending the opposites. I always prefer “AND” to “OR” - I enjoy pursuing a multitude of interests instead of choosing one.
I started my first business venture when I was 21 year old. At the time, I traveled back to Moscow to intern with Forbes Russia and Pfizer (pharmaceutical) simultaneously. I had an idea to design a course to prepare advanced English students for TOEFL, an English proficiency test that I myself had to take when I moved to the US. I successfully designed and launched the course, teaching a total of 3 students over the course of several months and enabling them to pass the examination upon completion.
In 2017 I founded Influence Media, a Limited Liability Company that is a B2B service venture designed to provide Influencer Marketing, Branding, Content Development and Advertising Solutions to local businesses in Columbia and throughout South Carolina. Since then, I developed a Soda City Influencer online community designed to highlight and promote small businesses in the community, cover local events, as well as empower artists, nonprofits and organizations to share their stories in an impactful way. Additionally, I spearheaded the #InfluenceColumbia community interview initiative designed to serve as a platform for local leaders across various sectors and industries. To learn more, please see the Influence Media tab.
Besides being the CEO of Influence Media, I also run the CharlestonCharmed Glass Fusion, a jewelry business that was founded by my father. I have taken over the sales aspect of the business as well as making the jewelry that we offer by hand.
Helping my community expand, develop and grow is one of my top priorities in life. I’ve dedicated a lot of time and effort to developing and nurturing my connections with other members of my community in Columbia, SC - and internationally. Through constant communication, volunteering my time and continuously offering value through written and visual content, I seek to engage with the community to educate, empower and inspire those that I stay in touch with.
These efforts allow me to gradually build the trust of my audience and to become aware of their ever-changing needs and interests. It has taken me a decade to establish a loyal following online and to build a reliable, consistent voice that others can recognize and depend on.
Posing for artists is something I feel deeply passionate about. I am an experienced art model, and have posed for portraits as well as figure sketches. I have worked with the About Face group (Columbia, SC) and Charleston Figure Drawing group. Individually, I have worked with the following artists: Barbara Yongue, Roy Paschal, Nikolai Oskolkov, William Pittman, David Smith, Pete Holland and David Phillips.
Having been interested in acting since my early youth, I finally had a chance to start making screen appearances in 2018. Since then, I have played the following roles: Katerina Gallo / Vadoma the Gypsy Witch in Vampyras Psychedelicas; Nurse in “I Don’t Wanna Go To The Vet” music video made for a song by Turbo Gatto; Party Girl in the pilot of the Righteous Gemstones - a Danny McBride comedy series produced by HBO; Party Guest / Unicorn in SHED, a horror indie film produced in Columbia, SC.
I have accepted a role in the movie LECTION which will be produced in 2019.
I am actively teaching myself video production and editing skills. I enjoy creating video content, but currently my abilities in filming are limited by the lack of appropriate training. In the meanwhile, I enjoy creating live streaming content that does not imply technical sophistication and allows for greater spontaneity.
Writing and photography are a big part of my content creation expertise. For most of my publications and promotional work, I use my iPhone camera as an all-in-one tech solution. Many are surprised to learn this and ask if it is sufficient. I believe so! I think people are growing increasingly suspicious of the overly edited content that has been historically used in advertising campaigns. On the contrary, content that looks like it has been created by an “average person” using the technology that is available to most inspires greater trust and thus has a greater capacity to be well received by the general audience.
Having been a member of Toastmasters International since 2011, I have gained an extensive experience in public speaking. I have achieved the Competent Communicator distinction and have received 1st place as a Speech Evaluator at a regional contest in 2016.
In 2013, I had the honor of speaking in front of the South Carolina Board of Education - this opportunity was granted to me as the New Century Scholar, the top technical college student of the State of South Carolina for year 2012.
Growing up Russian Orthodox, my spiritual foundation was based on Christian education and religious philosophy. As an adult, I chose to pursue the path of open, ever-expanding spiritual curiosity and exploration. I appreciate and respect all religious traditions, beliefs and cultures.
I practice Tarot and Astrology, communicate with the Divine directly through Channeling, have experience studying with different shamans, and appreciate the deep wisdom that my experiences with Ayahuasca have brought me. Spirituality is a very significant part of my life and I am grateful to live in the times when individual spiritual expressions are embraced rather than restricted or even prosecuted. I enjoy sharing my spiritual experiences with others and learning about theirs.
Writing has been part of my life since I was 6 year old; I began journaling before I could even successfully spell out words, let alone whole sentences. I enjoy writing as a means of establishing some sort of order in the chaos of the myriads of ideas that populate my mind. I find a great deal of healing in writing - it allows me to create space for my thoughts outside of my head.
Besides journaling, I enjoy writing poetry. I am working on several autobiographical projects that may in the future become books. I like writing blogs (there are three blogs on this website alone!) and sharing them with the world through social media.

Increasing need for insights from vast data sources has given rise to data-driven business intelligence products which build and execute complex data workflows.
A data workflow is a set of inter-dependent data-driven tasks. Simple solutions use a cron based approach which works well for simple workflows with few or no task dependencies. However, cron fails if there are complex dependencies between tasks.
At Cognitree, we build and execute complex data workflows for our customers to gather data insights. We built an effective scheduling tool Kronos for our data pipelines which adds more features on top of cron.
What is Kronos
Kronos is a Java based replacement for cron to build, run and monitor complex data pipelines with flexible deployment options. It handles dependency resolution, workflow management, failures. Kronos is built on top of Quartz and uses DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) to manage the tasks.
Examples of data pipelines include batch jobs, chaining multiple tasks, machine learning job etc.
The architecture is flexible and extensible with each component of the Kronos designed to be pluggable.
- Dependency Management: Define/manage dependency among tasks.
- Dynamic: Define/modify workflow and task dependencies at runtime.
- Extensible: Define custom source of tasks, task handlers and the persistence store.
- Policy Driven: Define custom policies to handle timeouts.
- Fault Tolerant: Handle system/process faults.
- Flexible deployment model: Embed as a library or deploy in standalone or distributed mode.
Today, we are proud to open source and share Kronos, our workflow management framework.
Do give it a try by heading on to the getting started section and help us improve Kronos by giving us feedback.
In upcoming posts, we will talk about the use cases solved by using Kronos, our workflow management framework.

Some more corrections to common right-wing “wisdom…”
Well that didn’t take long.
Shortly after I began posting #WhiteLiesMatter entries on Twitter, naturally the white nationalist trolls at American Renaissance decided to chime in, claiming that I had misrepresented one of the data points, and creating their own hashtag #WiseLiesMatter.
Very pithy. Too bad their “correction” was total bullshit.
They insisted that I was misrepresenting the data on black homicide rates. I had noted that since 1950, black male homicide was down by 37%, and had later gone in and tweeted below that (and then corrected it on Facebook), that actually for men the number was a one-third reduction, and 37% for blacks overall. Not only did AmRen miss that correction tweet, they said I was fudging by saying black homicide rates were down, because those numbers only refer to the homicide death rate for blacks, per capita (i.e., their rate of victimization), rather than their rate of offending. In other words, the white nationalists are implying that blacks are murdering more people now than ever, per capita, even if they themselves are less likely to die from murder than before. And of course, the implication they want people to draw is what? That they’re killing whitey! Run for the hills!
But actually, black homicide offending is also way down. From 1976-2005, which is the latest data I was able to find on this, the black homicide offending rate fell 43 percent. So that’s even bigger than the victimization decline. Even though that data ends ten years ago, homicide rates for all races have continued to fall since that time, so the rate today would be even lower, and thus, the decline in black homicide offending would be even bigger than the 43 percent figure.
Oh, and here’s another entry…
The first installments in #WhiteLiesMatter, a hashtag series I intend to post regularly. The series will debunk, with links embedded, various right-wing racist claims about people of color.
Though perhaps overused, there are few statements that so thoroughly burrow to the heart of the nation’s racial condition as the following, written fifty-three years ago by James Baldwin:
…this is the crime of which I accuse my country and my countrymen and for which neither I nor time nor history will ever forgive them, that they have destroyed and are destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and do not know it and do not want to know it…but it is not permissible that the authors of devastation should also be innocent. It is the innocence which constitutes the crime
Indeed, and in the wake of the Baltimore uprising that began last week after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, they are words worth remembering.
It is bad enough that much of white America sees fit to lecture black people about the proper response to police brutality, economic devastation and perpetual marginality, having ourselves rarely been the targets of any of these. It is bad enough that we deign to instruct black people whose lives we have not lived, whose terrors we have not faced, and whose gauntlets we have not run, about violence; this, even as we enjoy the national bounty over which we currently claim possession solely as a result of violence. I beg to remind you, George Washington was not a practitioner of passive resistance. Neither the early colonists nor the nation’s founders fit within the Gandhian tradition. There were no sit-ins at King George’s palace, no horseback freedom rides to affect change. There were just guns, lots and lots of guns.
We are here because of blood, and mostly that of others; here because of our insatiable and rapacious desire to take by force the land and labor of those others. We are the last people on Earth with a right to ruminate upon the superior morality of peaceful protest. We have never believed in it and rarely practiced it. Rather, we have always taken what we desire, and when denied it we have turned to means utterly genocidal to make it so.
Which is why it always strikes me as precious the way so many white Americans insist (as if preening for a morality contest of some sorts) that “we don’t burn down our own neighborhoods when we get angry.” This, in supposed contrast to black and brown folks who engage in such presumptively self-destructive irrationality as this. On the one hand, it simply isn’t true. We do burn our own communities, we do riot, and for far less valid reasons than any for which persons of color have ever hoisted a brick, a rock, or a bottle. Read the rest of this entry »
Here’s the source for this, in case anyone doubts the veracity of my claim…
Just received a fascinating e-mail.
Literal word-for-word, as follows:
“I’m very proud of being a white male, and I don’t care what you say! White people are the BEST!”
I have long wondered, amid such declarations of presumed superiority, exactly whom are these folks trying to convince? Surely they cannot expect that such a missive is going to awaken me to the “best-ness” of the Aryan tribe. I mean, I’m not likely to see such an e-mail and then think to myself, “Oh, holy shit, YES, I totally FORGOT that we were the best!” So if they’re not trying to convince me, why the need to repeat the mantra of superiority? For whom does it serve a necessary psychological purpose? Hmmm?
See, it strikes me that people who actually have done anything of substance with their lives, anything for which they were truly proud or felt a sense of accomplishment would likely do two things:
1) They would not need to ascribe that accomplishment to their racial identity (for which, after all they are due no credit, and which if anything diminishes their individual effort, sacrificing it on the altar of inevitability); and
2) They would just allow their “superior” actions to speak for themselves, without the need of cheerleaders at all (even if those cheerleaders be only themselves).
In other words, if you go around telling people how awesome you are, or how awesome others of your “racial group” are, it’s likely because you doubt it quite strongly. You are attempting in such a case to serve as your own pain reliever, blocking the self-doubt receptors in your brain, which continually are sending your body signals that you are quite a bit less impressive than you insist.
It is sad. Sad that our society pits us against each other in such a way as to make such self-delusion as this “necessary” in the minds of some; that it makes it “necessary” for one to feel superior to another. In a society based on equity and compassion such a need would not exist, and the person who wrote this e-mail could have done something better with the thirty seconds he spent composing it.
Tim Wise at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, April 20, 2015: Challenging Racism and White Supremacy in 21st Century America
A note: in my criticism herein of Teach For America (TFA) I misspoke and claimed they only provide five months of training…fact is, it’s worse than that — it’s five WEEKS, which is clearly insufficient to prepare teachers to truly educate kids from profoundly different backgrounds than the ones from which the teachers come…in other words, my criticism of TFA is far harsher than that indicated here…
How Racism Explains America’s Class Divide and Culture of Economic Cruelty (An Excerpt from Under the Affluence)
The following is an excerpt from my forthcoming book, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Jeopardizing the Future of America (San Francisco: City Lights, 2015).
That the United States has long had a less complete system of social safety nets than most other industrialized nations is by now well established. Despite a brief period of substantial government intervention on behalf of the poor and unemployed from the 1930s through the 1960s, for the past forty-five years there has been a steady retrenchment in these efforts, fueled by a persistent and increasingly hostile rhetoric aimed at such programs and those whom they serve.
While the fact of less adequate safety nets is evident, a clear understanding of why the U.S. has been so much stingier than others in our provision for those in need is less clearly appreciated. Among the most prominent explanations, especially offered up by liberals and those of the political left, is the historical weakness of the labor movement and the lack of a labor-based party in the U.S. Stronger labor movements in Europe have been able to wrest concessions from the owners of capital and political elites that have been harder to come by here: more complete unemployment compensation, and better health care and educational guarantees most prominently. It’s an argument with significant historical resonance, but it still begs the question: why? Why has it been so much harder for labor unions to gain strength in the United States? Why has there been no effective labor party to develop in America, even as they have been quite common elsewhere? Why have working class consciousness and the political movements that typically flow from that consciousness been generally weaker here than in other nations?
Although there are likely several answers to these questions, there can be no doubt that among the biggest is the role of racism in dividing working class folks along lines of racial and ethnic identity. The development of the class structure in the United States has been, from the beginning, interwoven with the development of white supremacy. Indeed, a fair reading of those dual histories suggests that white supremacy and the elevation of whites as whites above persons of color, even when both shared similar class positions, has been critical in the shoring up of class division. Race, in other words, has been a weapon with which elites have divided working people from one another and prevented white working folks from developing a strong identification with their counterparts of color. Unless we address racial inequity and racism—and especially as lynchpins to the maintenance of economic inequity and class division—it will be impossible to solve these latter issues. Sadly, most Americans appear not to comprehend this truism. So, for instance, in a recent survey, while eighty percent claimed the government should focus “a lot” or “great deal” of effort on addressing economic inequality, only twenty-six percent said the same about the issue of racism and racial inequity, suggesting that the connections between the two are not well understood.
You really can’t have it both ways.
You cannot praise the Justice Department for, in effect, exonerating officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown—and argue how that report proves that the black community’s outrage over police racism was manufactured—and yet ignore the Department’s companion report (or even worse, criticize it as the work of “black radicals and Marxists”), which found a pattern of racist abuse on the part of the Ferguson P.D. over many years.
You cannot presume that the Department was thorough in its investigation of Wilson but sloppy in its larger undertaking—at least not if intellectual honesty is a commodity for which you have any regard. If they did their job well in the first instance, it is likely the case that they did their job well in both.
Yet, for much of white America (and especially its more conservative set), we are to believe the one and not the other; we should use the one as a weapon with which to beat the #BlackLivesMatter movement over the head—”see, he didn’t have his hands up, that was all a lie!”—while ignoring the daily abuses of power meted out against black Ferguson residents, who were being regularly stopped, ticketed, fined, arrested and even attacked by police dogs for minor infractions. That black folks were paying, in effect, a racial tax means nothing apparently, even to the kinds of people who normally rail against taxes. That they were subjected to blatantly unconstitutional treatment means nothing, even to those who claim to love the constitution above all (at least when their Second Amendment rights are concerned). All that matters to some is that their presumptions about Michael Brown’s actions (which, and let’s just be honest about it, were fixed well in advance of any evidence) turned out to be sufficiently confirmed by the Justice Department.
And yes, I know the retort: By the same logic, so too must we who backed the original “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” narrative accept both reports, and as such, accept that our presumptions about what happened that August day were also concretized ahead of the facts, and in the end, largely unsustainable.

By sponsoring a pet like me, you’ll be helping my friends to find loving homes. Why not give a gift that will change a life?Sponsor a pet
My name is Tristan, I am a cute little Shetland looking for a home as a non-ridden companion pony.
I enjoy being groomed and I have learnt to lift my feet, it seems a very odd thing to do but I am used to it now and have seen the farrier, which went well.
I will be a good companion as I get on well with the other ponies and don't need a lot of grazing due to my size. I will need my weight monitoring, especially during the spring and summer months.
I can be nervous in new situations but with time to settle into my new home and bond with my new handler, I know I will be a great addition to your family.
If you are interested in rehoming Tristan or any other Blue Cross horse/pony, then please click on the “Rehome me” link. The Blue Cross holds up to 100 horses and ponies at any one time. Even if Tristan is not available please be assured we are still actively trying to find you a suitable match for your needs and we will be in contact as soon as we do.

Joshua Kimmich dominated the defence and James Rodriguez racked up more assists in an overall great title-winning performance in Augsburg.
Javi Martínez and Franck Ribéry’s performances were the strongest and Juan Bernat’s the weakest in a laboured performance in Sevilla.
Bayern obliterated Dortmund in a scintillating display. Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick, and much of the rest of the team was equally excellent.
Germany looked devoid of creativity as they suffered a 0:1 loss to a well drilled Brazilian squad. Only Toni Kroos stood out in Die Mannschaft, if slightly.
Were it not for Sven Ulreich and Niklas Süle, almost all FC Bayern players could be rated as “shameful” for a dreadful performance in their 1:2 defeat at Leipzig on Sunday.
Arturo Vidal held the team together from attack to defense in a performance that was defensively poor in FC Bayern’s win over Besiktas at the Vodafone Arena in Instanbul.
In a match that always epitomizes Bayern’s ruthless dominance in the league, Franck “the Ferrari” Ribéry stepped into fifth gear to lead the barrage on the Hamburg defense.
In a great team performance with a tough start in Freiburg, Thomas Müller took charge as captain and saw Bayern through.
Mats Hummels was the finest player on the pitch for Bayern, which were generally toothless in their 0:0 draw against Berlin on Saturday.
A dangerous trio tortured Besiktas in Bayern’s 5:0 win against the Turkish side in the Champions League Round of 16, first leg. Our player ratings are very positive for this match.

Dicer's essential role in development and neuronal survival has precluded studying its role in learning and memory. The study by Konopka et al. uses modern mouse genetics to address this question showing that loss of neuronal miRNA enhances learning and memory.
Dicer is essential for the production of miRNA and Dicer loss of function leads to embryonic lethality. Using a number of Dicer conditional alleles, it has been demonstrated that miRNA is required for the survival of developing neurons (1-4). These important observations, however, have shed no light on the function of miRNA in mature adult neurons. Using a tamoxifen-inducible Cre transgene expressed in forebrain neurons, Konopka et al. disrupt miRNA biogenesis after neuronal maturation has occurred. Not surprisingly, at later timepoints after deletion of Dicer, significant neuronal loss in the hippocampus and cortex is observed. However, in a window of time 10-14 weeks after deletion, the authors observe improved performance in a variety of learning and memory-related tasks. Correlated with the improved performance the authors observed increases in post-tetanic potentiation and signs of increases in dendritic spine growth and mobility. Though not directly demonstrated by the result of miRNA depletion, the authors observed enhanced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glutamate receptors, post-synaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), and matrix-metalloprotease 9 (MMP9). The increase in these proteins' levels may be the cause, or the consequence, of the improved memory of the Dicer mutant mice. Though loss of miRNAs leads to improved memory, this effect is only transient and eventually the mice show significant neurodegeneration. At this time it remains unclear whether the changes in protein levels that improve cognitive performance are the same proteins that eventually lead to neurodegeneration.

"The Line Becomes a River" with Francisco Cantú In-Person
For Francisco Cantú, the border is in the blood: his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. Driven to understand the hard realities of the landscape he loves, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He and his partners learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Plagued by a growing awareness of his complicity in a dehumanizing enterprise, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and does not return, Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him, and now he must know the full extent of the violence it wreaks, on both sides of the line.
Hemingway Writer-In-Resident Francisco Cantú joins us to discuss his book, The Line Becomes A River: Dispatches From the Border, which was named a Top 10 Book of 2018 by NPR and The Washington Post, was winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Current Interest, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Nonfiction Award.
Cantú will be joined by several local guests for a panel discussion. More information is forthcoming.

The study says fresh meats, including steaks or roasts are a probable cancer-causing factor and the risks associated with them can be compared to that of glyphosate, a widely-used herbicide.
Till yesterday Potassium Bromate was a quiet, unheard of food additive that was part and parcel of our everyday slice. Now it's been tagged as a carcinogen found in most breads.
Not all smoked food are good for you. FSSAI says many chemical contaminants are formed during the combustion of fuel both in the smoking and direct drying process of meat.
People who consume one or more cans of cold drinks per day are exposing themselves to a potential carcinogen, warns a new study.
Potassium Bromate is being used by the industry since a long time. It was during the 1980s when health organisations and particularly WHO(World Health Organisation)recognised that it may have the potential to cause cancer.

- Pirsonal may perform standard maintenance, upgrades, replacement of hardware or software, or any other activity that may impact Availability (collectively, “Scheduled Maintenance“) as we reasonably believe necessary to correct, maintain, and improve the Service. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of Scheduled Maintenance at least 24 hours before it begins.
- We may perform any maintenance that we reasonably deem necessary to fix critical problems or patch vulnerabilities that could substantially impair the usability or performance of the Service. This will be done to the extent such maintenance cannot reasonably be performed during a Scheduled Maintenance window (“Emergency Maintenance“).
- Pirsonal will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform Scheduled Maintenance and Emergency Maintenance during non-peak hours. We can’t guarantee that this Scheduled or Emergency Maintenance will not affect your account and the content you have created with Pirsonal.
- Pirsonal will credit Client 5% of Service fees to active Pirsonal Clients for each period of 90 or more consecutive minutes of downtime; provided that no more than 60000 credits will accrue per day.
- Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Client (with notice to Pirsonal) recognizes that downtime is taking place, and continues until the availability of the Services is restored.
- In order to receive downtime credits, Client must notify Pirsonal in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime, and failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit.
- Such credits may not be redeemed for cash and shall not be cumulative beyond a total of credits for one (1) week of Service Fees in any one (1) calendar month in any event. Pirsonal will only apply credits to the month in which the incident occurred.
- Company’s blocking of data communications or other Services in accordance with its policies shall not be deemed to be a failure of Company to provide adequate service levels under this Agreement.
- Credits will not be applied to Professional Services
- Credits will not be applied to variable fees such as overages and transactional fees, except that if your contract has an annual or monthly minimum commitment, that minimum will be considered a fixed fee.
- Credits are not available and will be waived where you (a) fail to follow the above request procedures; (b) have materially breached your contract with us; or (c) have invoices totaling more than $100 that are more than thirty (30) days past due at either the time of your request or the time the Credit is to be applied.

- Company will provide Technical Support to Client via email and chat channels on weekdays during the hours of 10:00 am through 6:00 pm GMT+2, with the exclusion of National Holidays (“Support Hours”) in the US or Spain.
- Client may initiate a helpdesk ticket during Support Hours or anytime by emailing email@example.com.
- Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to all Helpdesk tickets within one (1) business day.
5. Video Rendering and Processing Speed
- All accounts have an associated content processing queue (stages: queue, processing, done, error).
- Pirsonal users are aware that video rendering, for real video files or interactive videos or dynamic landing pages, can take several seconds, minutes or hours to be generated as they are generated on demand.
- Pirsonal does not guarantee real-time processing.
- Pirsonal does not guarantee processing speed to Standard plans or plans running on the Standard Platform.
- Only Enterprise accounts with dedicated or exclusive processing power can define the number of video content that can be processed at a single time and average processing speed based on previously approved requirements.
- Customer is aware that the set amount of videos to be generated on any given period of time is based on the assumption that Pisonal’s servers are working every day during a 24-hour period of time. It is in Customer’s hands to create the procedures and workflows that will make this possible.
