If you've landed on this page, chances are you're participating in a Yankee Swap gift exchange (also known as a White Elephant gift exchange) this season. This type of gift exchange is great for office settings and large groups of friends, keeping things a bit more interesting than a traditional Secret Santa type of arrangement. Unlike a normal secret Santa where you purchase a gift for someone specific, with a white elephant exchange you'll need to shop knowing that your gift could wind up in anyone's hands. This can make it a bit more complicated to find that perfect gift.
There's typically a mix of silly gag gifts as well as useful gifts that anyone would love, making the stealing and swapping of gifts that much more fun. We've rounded up 20 great Yankee swap gifts ranging from $10 to $25, depending on your budget.
Forget the ugly Christmas sweaters this year and opt to gift an ugly Christmas hat instead. This hat comes in four distinct holiday inspired designs that all light up with a simple on/off switch located in the inside seam. The hat is comfortable, cozy, and is one size fits most, great for a holiday gift swap.
Cold hands and texting simply don't mix. We've all been there. You get bundled up with your coat, hats, and gloves, ready to brave the winter weather and then "ding", a text comes through. You can't open your phone, let alone write back, until you've taken off your gloves, fidgeting with your phone in the mix. You finish your reply, but by then your hands are numb. Enter these awesome inexpensive texting gloves. Anyone would be happy to have them to avoid the above conundrum. Pick your favorite color and have them in your hands in two days with prime shipping.
Cozy socks are the epitome of what the holiday season is all about. These socks deliver on bright and obnoxious colors, extra warmth, and tons of comfort. You can choose from several holiday inspired designs like snow men, Santa, elves, and reindeer (pictured above), or if you have a higher budget for your Yankee Swap exchange, buy a few. These elf slippers are another awesome choice at the same price point.
If you're doing a Yankee Swap at the office or amongst a group of friends, this gift is sure to get a few laughs. The recipient can keep it on their desk or around the house, pressing it whenever they feel like they sense some BS. The large red buzzer will light up, buzz loudly and announce, "that was BS!" or "BS detected take precautions!" over a wailing siren. Other favorites include the "WTF" button and the "Blah" button.
It's been almost a year since Donald Trump has become President of the United States. Whether your love him, or love to hate him, there's no question that this gift will stir up some controversy during your holiday gift swap. The gag gift is entirely useable, made from non-toxic paper that won't smudge or smear. If you have a budget of $20, add this mug, which reads I hate when I wake up in the morning and Donald Trump is president." We feel you.
The best part about a Yankee Swap gift exchange is having some odd balls in the mix and this is definitely one of those gifts. It's equal parts weird, hilarious, and useful – that is if you enjoy a hot dog at home every now and again. The hot dog toaster (yep, that's a thing), cooks two regular-size hot dogs at a time while simultaneously toasting two buns at a time. The toaster includes mini tongs for removing the hot dogs and a removable drip tray for easy cleaning.
With thousands of five star reviews, it's obvious that this is a gift that people love to give and receive. The cotton candy, or "unicorn farts", certainly falls under the gag gift umbrella and will earn a few laughs when the recipient opens it. The bag includes 3oz of delicious fruit punch cotton candy. Want your gift to be more seasonal? Grab this bag of "reindeer farts" (also cotton candy).
If you ask most people if they own a disco ball or strobe light, the answer is probably no. If you ask the same people if they would WANT a disco ball or strobe light, we cannot image anything but a resounding yes across the board. For dance parties, holiday parties, birthday parties, or anytime you need a little pick me up, this disco ball not only lights up a room but can also be programmed to sync with the beat of music. It's easy to set up and use, and can be controlled with the remote that's included.
If you have a budget of over $15, snag this Santa's bag and fill it with some candy, snacks, and booze. We guarantee that a bag full of munchies and alcohol will be one of the most fought over gifts at your Yankee Swap exchange. The reusable red velvet bag measures 28″H x 20″W and has a drawstring closure.
Let's be honest, the holidays are all about the alcohol and the holiday parties, which is why we love this wine glass to throw in the Yankee Swap mix. The glass holds 16oz. of wine (or the recipient's beverage of choice) and reads Merry, Merrier, Merriest, the bigger the pour. Makes sense to us.
If you're shopping for a crowd who likes beer more than wine, put together your own six pack of holiday merriment with these beer greeting cards. You'll get four "cards" so you can gift more than six beers or spread the wealth at other holiday parties. The holiday decorated holder has a card flap, perfect for writing a holiday note.
This takes the term stocking stuffer to a whole new level. The festive flask is shaped just like a traditional Christmas stocking, holding up to 2.25 liters of any liquid. The recipient can put this gift to use right away, or bring it to future holiday parties for an impressionable addition to the bar. The flask is made from BPA-free, FDA approved food grade plastic, with a wide mouth that makes filling fast and easy. This Santa hat flask is another great option.
Board games are an awesome gift for a Yankee Swap as they're gender neutral and everyone can enjoy them. This relatively new game will be a crowd favorite, encouraging participants to practice their best accents. The game contains 50 Accent Cards and 450 Phrase Cards which players combine and act out for tons of laughs. Speaking from personal experience, you might pee your pants while playing. You can buy the family version of this game here if the naughty version isn't for you.
Let's keep going with the drinking theme, shall we? This Yankee Swap gift is awesome for holiday celebrations and parties, with six festive beer koozies that say things like "Festive AF", "Ho Ho Hold My Beer", and "Let's Get Lit!". The koozies aren't only adorable but are also high quality, lasting for seasons to come.
White Elephant and Yankee Swap gifts don't all have to be useless gag gifts. If you prefer to buy something that will come in handy, this coffee and tea press is a great way for anyone to enjoy their warm beverages throughout the winter season. This French press brews coffee in just minutes, perfect for a quick cup on your way out the door. Include some of your favorite coffee grinds to make this gift even more special.
Does anything say Christmas more than some festive Christmas pajamas? We think not. You're never too old to wear some holiday inspired pajamas on Christmas morning. Purchase a medium for a versatile fit that both men and women can wear. The pajamas are 100 percent cotton and can be machine washed for easy care. Looking for matching pajamas for the whole family? Check out this roundup of the best matching Christmas pajamas.
The Chambong was a hit last year and we're positive it will be a hit again in 2017. Who doesn't love quickly consuming some bubbly? This mini version is awesome for parties, with two tiny champagne bongs so you can share the wealth. Each bong has a three ounce capacity and is dishwasher safe for easy care between uses.
Quality Sony headphones for under $25? Sign us up. We're confident Yankee Swap participants will be fighting over these headphones, delivery high quality sound and comfortable wear. If you're willing to go just slightly above the $25 price cap, you can buy the Amazon Echo Dot for just $29, another impressive and amazing gift.
Everyone loves pizza night. It's a fact. This gift takes your homemade pizza game up a notch with three distinct sauces including Chicago pizza sauce, a spicy arribbiata sauce, and a white manchego and garlic pizza sauce. It also includes the best pizza seasoning, complete with oregano, basil, thyme, garlic and other Italian herbs.
From silly gag gifts to useful trinkets, these gifts are the perfect Yankee Swap or White Elephant gifts, all for under $25.

BLASPHEMY! Independent Lawmaker Compares Old Glory to Nazi Swastika [Video]
He said WHAT!?
The American flag is comparable to the Nazi Swastika, says Nebraska state Senator Ernie Chambers.
He was not kidding, either.
Ernie was dead serious.
From Washington Examiner:
Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers on Tuesday compared the American flag with the Nazi swastika on the floor of the legislature.
"I don't come here for this rag every day, and it's a rag. That's all it is to me," said Chambers about respecting the flag. "When you show a way to persuade Jews to sanctify and worship the swastika, when you show me that I'll come up here and stand while you all hypocritically pretend that rag is something that it definitely is not."
Ben Stein is not a fan of Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY).
Stein declared in an interview with Fox Business that Alexandria "doesn't know her a** from her elbow."
He then went on to say that AOC is promising the same things that Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin once promised.
Talk about a smackdown!
From CNS News:
Democrat Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is promisng Americans the same thing brutal dictators promised, and those promises are never realized, Ben Stein explained in a Fox News Channel interview this week.
Stein, an economist, lawyer and writer, warned that, when politicians promising to punish success in the name of equality obtain power, their policies invariably have terrifying results:
Stein: "We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Miss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is promising."
Stein: "That led to mass murder, led to dictatorship, and led to genocide."
Stein: "These promises are old promises, and they invariably lead to bad things. The promise of saying to the people do what you can within the law to make your life better and your family's life better that system works extremely well. Capitalism is a system that allows people to make something of themselves instead of oppressing other people."
An op-ed in "The Washington Post" recently compared President Trump to the leader of the Third Reich.
The Washington Post published an op-ed Tuesday comparing President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency on the border with the the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party during Germany's Weimar Republic.
The article, "Emergency powers helped Hitler's rise. Germany has avoided them ever since," was written by University of Maryland history professer Jeffrey Herf, who considers Trump's emergency declaration at the border "absurd."

The spliceosome is a ribonucleoprotein complex containing small nuclear (sn) RNAs, which catalyzes RNA splicing through intron excision and exon ligation to produce mature mRNAs, templates for protein translation. No mutations in human snRNAs have been described in humans, or linked to diseases. We identified four point mutations in the U4atac snRNA component of the minor spliceosome in patients with severe brain malformations and unexplained postnatal death (Taybi- Linder syndrome, TALS or microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1, MOPD1, MIM 210710). Minor intron splicing and expression of a subgroup of genes, possibly linked to the disease phenotype, were affected in cell lines derived from TALS patients. Our findings demonstrate the crucial role of minor spliceosome component, U4atac snRNA, in human brain development and postnatal survival.

David Hilbert
David Hilbert was born on January 23, 1862, in Wehlau (near modern-day Kaliningrad) in what was then East Prussia. He received his doctorate from the University of Königsberg in 1884. He taught at Königsberg from 1886 to 1895, and then moved to Göttingen, where he taught until his death in 1943.
Hilbert made deep and fundamental contributions to algebra, number theory, and geometry. In 1900 he was invited to give an address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. His address, entitled Mathematical Problems, listed 23 important problems he felt deserved the attention of mathematicians of the coming century.
Hilbert's Tenth Problem asked if there was a "process" by which "it can be deterined by a finite number of operations whether [a Diophantine] equation can be solved in ... integers". (A Diophantine equation is a multivariate polynomial equation.) In his later career, Hilbert became more interested in the foundations of mathematics and the possibility of resolving, by completely mechanical means, any well-posed mathematical problem. In 1928 he asked:
Is mathematics complete, in the sense that every statement can either be proved or disproved?
Is mathematics consistent, in the sense that one can never arrive at a contradiction such as 0 = 1 by a sequence of valid steps of reasoning?
Is mathematics decidable, in the sense that there exists a mechanical procedure that will always determine the truth or falsity of a statement?
Hilbert believed that the answer to all these questions was "yes". But in 1931 the Czech mathematician Kurt Gödel proved that any sufficiently powerful mathematical system must be either inconsistent or incomplete. Also, such a system cannot be proved consistent within its own axiom system. But the third question remained open, with "provability" substituted for "truth". This was finally resolved negatively by Alan Turing in 1936.
Hilbert died in Königsberg on February 14, 1943.

Shenandoah University's McCormick Civil War Institute (CWI) has released its inaugural volume of the Journal Of The Shenandoah Valley During the Civil War Era. The journal is Shenandoah University's first-ever academic, peer-reviewed journal, and is slated to be published annually by the CWI.
The journal will provide fresh perspectives on seldom-studied aspects of the Civil War era in one of the most contested regions during the Civil War – Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. It examines the Civil War era broadly and examines aspects of memory, social, military and political history.
The inaugural issue of the Journal of the Shenandoah Valley During the Civil War Era offers new insight on the period in the region through examinations of important, yet neglected, topics – the experiences of slaves in the region, the operations of the Freedmen's Bureau, and significant, but often overlooked, figures such as Col. Joseph Thoburn or John Mead Gould. In addition to an array of seven essays covering a variety of social and military topics, the inaugural issue contains reviews of nine recently released books which are in some way relevant to the region's Civil War story.
The journal is governed by a board of 14 historians, many of whom are leading figures in the field of Civil War era history. The editorial board includes such notable scholars as Allen Guelzo, Ph.D., of Gettysburg College, three-time winner of the prestigious Lincoln Prize; Brian Matthew Jordan, Ph.D., of Sam Houston State University, a 2016 finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History; and Kenneth Noe, Ph.D., of Auburn University.
The journal is currently available online at amazon.com, as well as at retailers throughout the Shenandoah Valley, including Winchester Book Gallery. The journal retails for $10, with all proceeds supporting the varied activities of the CWI, including free public programming throughout the year, unique opportunities for Shenandoah University students, and CWI's various interpretive efforts at the university's Shenandoah River Campus at Cool Spring Battlefield in Clarke County. Work has already begun on volume two.

Welcome to the blog for the Huanui College school library! Here on this blog library news will be posted along with book reviews of exciting novels.
I really enjoyed this book because it was exhilarating and exciting. It is about a group of teenagers and kids who are trapped in a dome with no adults. They're threatened by starvation, animal mutations and even mutations among themselves, which give some of the kids deadly super powers. It had fast twists and turns that kept me interested. I'm still thinking about the brave, real characters, long after reading. This is a good book for anyone who enjoyed the Hunger Games series or Lord of the Flies. I think that this is a very good starting book for people who want to read a more advanced style of book. It paves the way for the rest of the series. I fully recommended this book, as it is a more modern version of the classic Lord of the Flies.

Early Christian mosaics at Bethlehem's Church of Nativity revealed
Five years of restoration give pilgrims and tourists the opportunity to see floor mosaics dating back to the 4th century
In the past, the entrance hall was fully covered in mosaics, but rain destroyed many of them (MEE/Tessa Fox)

BETHLEHEM, Palestine - These are floors where pilgrims and churchgoers have stood and worshipped in the birthplace of Jesus for millennia.
In the Church of the Nativity, burning oil lamps infuse the air while the hushed voices of international pilgrims are heard.
Some visitors kiss the glistening star in the grotto of the church, where according to tradition Jesus was born.

In the week of Christmas alone, 100,000 pilgrims and tourists are expected to visit Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, to celebrate the birth of Christ in the Holy Land.
Now, for the first time in centuries, the intricate artwork that lay buried and hidden beneath the church floor can be seen again.
After years of careful work, the beauty of the long-buried floor mosaics dating back to the origins of Christianity has been restored to a condition close to that seen 16 centuries ago.
This is part of the first known restoration of the church since 1479. The painstaking work on the floor mosaics is set to be completed by 21 December, while overall renovations of the church are expected to be finished by the end of 2019.
The final mosaic restoration site, closed off to the public until 21 December, reveals the perimeters and floor level of the first church built in the 4th century (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Renovations in the Church of the Nativity commenced in 2013, as the deterioration of the structure of the building reached dangerous levels.
It is the first renovation of the church undertaken by the Palestinian Authority (PA), beginning one year after the UN's cultural agency, UNESCO, added the Church of the Nativity and its pilgrimage route to the list of World Heritage Sites.
Local representatives of the three Christian denominations - Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Armenian Apostolic - that share the administration of the church oversee the renovations undertaken by the Italian company Piacenti, as contracted by the PA.
Visitors are now able to see mosaics that were covered over and hidden for centuries at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Greek Orthodox Father Issa Thaljieh is grateful the floor mosaics will be restored in time for Christmas this year, a gift for the pilgrims and tourists around the world.
When I am here, I feel the peace and love
- Father Issa Thaljieh
"It's important to keep this church as perfect as it could be. People, especially in Christmas time, look at the Church of Nativity," Father Thaljieh told MEE.
The floor mosaics, which lie about 30 centimetres below the current church floor level, make up decorative "carpets" dating back to when the church was built on the site by the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century.
Silvio Sciortino applies a different protection coating, depending on the colour of the stone; a different solvent is used to bring out the white, red, yellow and orange (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Floral motifs accompanied with fruits, particularly pomegranates, swirl across half of the uncovered floor, meeting geometric patterns in now vibrant colours of red, yellow, blue and black.

Since Piacenti took to working underground, the area of exposed mosaics has increased and now spans abour 10 x 25 metres.
Marcello Piacenti, the production manager, explained that his team is dedicated to protecting the historical work of art. A protection solvent is being applied to each tiny mosaic tile by hand and with equally small paintbrushes.
Piacenti production manager Marcello Piacenti and his team have been working in the Church of the Nativity for the last five years (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Silvio Sciortino, a Piacenti restoration worker, expressed how proud he was of his work in the Church of the Nativity as he knelt attending to the tiles. "We are honoured," Sciortino told MEE.
As the lower ground mosaics are finished, the church leaders have instructed Piacenti to cover them with wooden floor panels that are easily lifted to show them to tourists and pilgrims during guided tours but prevent the art from being walked on.
Among those visiting the Church of the Nativity in the lead up to Christmas are members of the Matthews family from South Africa, who gave their appreciation of the newly restored mosaics.

"If you think of the level of detail and colour in there, it's just amazing," father-of-two Ian Matthews told MEE.
"It's awe inspiring. It's a lot to take in. It's beautiful," Nicolette Matthews,17, rounded off what her father had said.
In total, the church renovations will cost upwards of $17m, funded in part by the Palestinian Authority in addition to money collected by church groups around the world, particularly in Brazil and Italy.
Five years work
The church was destroyed in a Samaritan revolt in 529 and rebuilt in 565. The first and most important step in the work started five years ago: the roof and windows had to be fixed in order to make the church waterproof.
"The water from winter rain would come inside and destroy the walls and mosaics," Father Thaljieh said.

Mosaics from the time of the Crusades also extend up the walls of the Church of the Nativity.
It's awe-inspiring. It's a lot to take in. It's beautiful
- Nicolette Matthews, tourist
Not only was their preservation threatened by leaking rainwater running down the walls, but the years of constant oil-lamp use also left the predominately glistening gold tiles discoloured.
"Some [wall] mosaics you could barely see because it was full of black soot," Father Thaljieh said.
Restored after water damaged from a leaking roof, this crusader period mosaic tells the story of Jesus appearing to the apostles after being raised from his tomb (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Some of the wall mosaics, which were restored to their original beauty two years ago, tell the traditional stories of Jesus Christ in the Holy Land.
As Father Thaljieh walked around the church, he pointed to depictions of Jesus appearing to the apostles after he was crucified, his accession to heaven and Palm Sunday, commemorating Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem five days before his crucifixion.
"Some of them have missing pieces. The entrance hall used to be completely covered in mosaics, but a lot of it was destroyed by the rain."
Praying for peace and love
Father Thaljieh was born in Bethlehem and ordained as a priest in the Church of the Nativity. Now aged 36, he feels a special connection to the sacred site.

"When I am here, I feel the peace and love," he said.

As on every Christmas, midnight mass is held in the Church of the Nativity by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.
"This year we pray for justice, love and peace and for people to be united because the whole world is being divided at the moment," Father Thaljieh said.
Last year in the weeks leading to Christmas, US President Donald Trump announced his country's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, enraging Arab countries and provoking fatal clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli army.
Due to this section of the church being younger in age, it is one of the only parts which does not yet need restoration (MEE/Tessa Fox)
According to the mayor of Bethlehem, attorney Anton Salman, the Church of the Nativity is the life of the city. Salman hopes Christmas-time in Bethlehem will help boost the local economy.
"Trump damaged the season last year when he gave his statement, but we hope this year life will be normal and people will be happy to come and visit the city," Salman told MEE.
Bethlehem sees the second largest number of tourists each year, after Jerusalem, primarily as tradition sees Jesus' birthplace being located in the grotto of the Church of the Nativity (MEE/Tessa Fox)
Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities spokesperson Jerius Qumsiyeh told MEE that this year had already seen an increase in tourism from the 2.7 million visitors to Palestine in 2017.
He said precise figures of visitors for 2018 will be released by the end of the year.
With the recent deaths of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in a spate of attacks, the West Bank has seen an increased Israeli military presence and subsequent security checks throughout the past week.
"Definitely any military action or attack affects tourism in the area in general," Qumsiyeh said. "I have been in contact with the hotel association and tourism companies; until now we haven't receive any cancellations."
Qumsiyeh and the city of Bethlehem alike continue to hope for a peaceful Christmas and that their message of love and peace spreads out from the church.

India, France reaffirm commitment to strategic partnership
👤by admin  0 Comments
One-on-one meeting between the Prime Minister Narendra Modi with President of France Francois Hollande
Paris, April 11 India and France on Friday reaffirmed their commitment to their deep strategic partnership and deepened bilateral ties.
A joint statement issued at the end of a meeting between visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Francois Hollande said that the two leaders held "wide ranging and fruitful discussions on bilateral, regional and global issues reflecting their convergence in world views".
"They reaffirmed their commitment to the strategic partnership and agreed to further deepen and strengthen bilateral ties based on shared principles and values relating to democracy, freedom, rule of law and respect for human rights," it said.
"As global partners, India and France reiterated the need for urgent reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, through an expansion in both categories of membership, to make it more representative of the contemporary world," it said.
It said France and India shared common concerns and objectives in the field of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
"In a further effort to strengthen global non-proliferation and export control regimes, France and India committed to continuing to work jointly towards India's accession to the multilateral export control regimes, namely, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), the Australia Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement," the statement said.
On the pressing global challenge of climate change, Prime Minister Modi extended his full support to France for a successful outcome of CoP 21 to UNFCCC to be held in Paris later this year.
"The leaders expressed confidence that the Paris Conference would finalise an historic agreement for the post-2020 period."
The Modi government's initiative to create smart cities in India also came up for discussion.
"France welcomes India's offer to be a partner of the smart cities development scheme and is ready to implement its best technological solutions and share its experience in the field of integrated sustainable cities, in particular in urban planning, urban grids, water and sanitation, sustainable mobility and digital technologies," the statement said.
On the issue of security, Modi reiterated India's strong condemnation of the heinous terrorists attack in France in January this year.
"Recalling that terrorism is a constant and strategic threat and that both our countries are facing the threat of terror on their soil, France and India are determined to support each other in combatting this scourge.
"The leaders reiterated their strong support for ongoing efforts aimed at defeating terrorism," the statement said.
The two leaders called for "dismantling of the terrorist infrastructure, denying safe havens to terrorists, bringing perpetrators and conspirators of terrorist attacks to justice and to strengthen international frameworks to forge closer cooperation in this area, including through supporting initiatives in the framework of the UN, such as the draft Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism".
On defence cooperation, the two leaders stressed the importance of joint military exercises between their armies (Shakti), navies (Varuna), and air forces (Garuda) and welcomed the participation of the French Carrier Battle Group in the Varuna exercise in the Indian Ocean in the coming weeks.
The Indian government conveyed to the French side that "in view of the critical operational necessity for multirole combat aircraft for Indian Air Force, India would like to acquire 36 Rafale jets in fly-away condition as quickly as possible", according to the statement.
Cooperation in the nuclear energy sector too figured in the talks.
Modi and Hollande encouraged their commercial enterprises for an early conclusion of techno-commercial discussions on the proposal for construction of six 1650 Mwe nuclear power plants at Jaitapur in India.
"The two leaders also urged their atomic energy establishments to lay an ambitious foundation for the future of India-France civil nuclear cooperation, including a wide range of subjects, including in the area of civil nuclear liability."
On economic cooperation, "India and France noted that there has been an uneven and subdued improvement in the state of the global economy and agreed that implementing structural reforms and appropriate macroeconomic policies are necessary for attaining long term stability and growth of global economy".
"They expressed support for G-20 as the key forum for international economic cooperation," the statement said.
On cultural cooperation the statement said the two leaders welcomed the range of cooperation initiatives undertaken by Indian and French institutions in a move to promote and preserve the unique heritage of the two countries.
On initiatives in the education sector, "the two leaders invited educational institutions of both countries to further expand their cooperation especially in the field of engineering and applied sciences".
"They called for further development of cooperation in the field of technical and vocational education in line with the needs of the industry. The leaders also welcomed the role of French companies in India in the field of skill development of young Indians."
The two leaders also expressed their appreciation on the long standing collaboration in science and technology between the two countries and reaffirmed their support to expand it further through establishing a Joint Indo-French Science and Technology Committee.

According to data provided by Constellation via Rob Cole, Oak Park Assistant Village Manager, as of May 8th a total of 3300 households, approximately 15%, OPTED OUT, of the default Brown Energy Option offered by the village. Thank you to all who took the initiative to choose a green energy plan! While 15% of households opting out of brown energy is commendable, this means that 85% of households are still purchasing the default aggregation mix of coal, natural gas and nuclear energy sources. This is why we are asking the Oak Park Village Board to make 100% renewable energy the DEFAULT community aggregation option in 2015!
For those of you that missed the original window to enroll in the 100% renewable energy option, the good news is that there is still time! Constellation Energy will allow Oak Park customers who are in the Aggregation program to continue to enroll in the 100% renewable energy option at any time. Requests received after May 8th may not take effect in-time for the first billing cycle.
You'll need to have your ComEd account number ready, then call 800.718.1493 and tell the Constellation Customer Service Rep that you live in Oak Park and that you want to enroll in the 100% renewable energy option. Please note that Constellation's per kwh rate offered to Oak Park residents is fixed for 1 year at 7.57 cents.
Please help spread the word to others so we can continue to grow the renewable energy industry!
Oak Park residents have until May 8th to make a difference for people and the planet by choosing 100% renewable energy. As of May 5th approximately 1300 households (6%) had opted into the green energy option for aggregated electricity in Oak Park. Hooray! And Thank you!
But, Can We Beat the Odds?
Experts say that at most, only 5-10% of a population will actually take the action to opt-in when they must actively do something rather than go with the default option. Although the green energy option is starting with a huge disadvantage by not being the default option we believe Oak Park can do better and we are asking you to help accomplish that for the sake of future generations.
With just a quick call (5-10 min), you can select 100% renewable energy for your home.
You'll need to have your ComEd account number ready, then just call 1.800.718.1493 and tell the Constellation Customer Service Rep that you want 100% renewable energy.
If you have the letter from Constellation, with the "opt-out code" That is helpful but not required.
- Send Email, post on Facebook, or Tweet to your networks. Consider using the Share buttons at the bottom of this post.
- Walk your block and chat with your neighbors about it.
- At a book club meeting, school concert, sports event or other event where people will gather this week? -- Consider asking people if they have enrolled in the Green Energy Option.
- Tell us your creative ideas about how to get the word out!
Note: If you would like half sheet fliers with instructions about how to opt into 100% renewable energy to share with others please contact Sally Stovall (773-315-1109 or sally@greencommunityconnections.org). The Village has created materials on the enrollment process that you may use to disseminate to your friends and neighbors - just click here.
Together we can beat the odds and boost the percentage of residents who opt-in to green energy over the next 3 days ! Can we get 15%? 20%? Wouldn't it be amazing to get 25% or more?
Thank you for your help! And our children and grandchildren thank you, too!
Oak Park residents packed the house to send a message to Village trustees: We want green energy back! Citizens came out in full force to voice support for green energy at the Oak Park Village Board meeting on Monday, April 21. The audience filled all the seats, sat in the aisles, stood at the back of the room and even went up into the balcony. Participants let the Village Board know that they disagreed with the decision to go with a brown energy supplier for Oak Park's municipal aggregation electricity program. They pointed out the climate impact of continued fossil fuel use, clearly a key concern for many in the room. It was a powerful and inspiring experience for residents and trustees alike.
Twenty residents spoke during the public comment period, which lasted more than an hour. Even residents who didn't directly address the trustees were lively and engaged. The audience applauded their neighbors' eloquence, nodded vigorously in agreement with their passionate arguments and sometimes vocalized displeasure with the Board.
As resident Mac Robinet said, "We're all learning from this." The 60 minutes of public comments highlight Oak Park's history of taking leadership on difficult issues, point out the important role that cities are playing in addressing climate change and illustrate, in a variety of ways, that what Oak Park does matters. The perspective of new home buyers who are considering Oak Park and looking for a socially conscious community was presented. Also heard was that although the brown energy option was on its face the lowest cost option, residents identified a myriad of hidden costs that affect health and prospects for the future. You can view a recorded telecast of the entire meeting online here.
Afterward, when it was the trustees' turn to speak, Colette Lueck, who has been serving in Oak Park government for 25 years, told the audience that this issue spurred the strongest outpouring of resident participation she's ever seen. In addition to packing the board meeting, residents sent emails and letters, called the trustees, wrote opinion pieces for the newspapers, and delivered a petition with over 500 signatures.
Oak Park IL residents -- to opt for 100% renewable (green) energy, please follow these easy instructions before May 8! Please also spread the word to others.
OPT for 100% Renewable Energy Before May 8!
It may be too late to change this particular decision by the board, but it is NOT too late -- and it is crucially important -- that we use our voice to express our continuing desire to have Oak Park take leadership in building a sustainable, resilient community and to ensure that the Village Board is "on board" with us!!
Help us pack the house during the next village board MEETING, scheduled for Monday, April 21 at 8PM at Village Hall (Lombard and Madison). Our attendance will demonstrate support for green energy and sustainability policies.
Sign the PETITION, urging the board to recommit Oak Park to 100% renewable (green) energy now. If you want to make additional comments, write to: board@oak-park.us to remind the members that we expect them to be sustainability leaders. Remember to say "Thank you!" to Trustee Colette Lueck, the lone board member who spoke in favor of choosing a green energy investment option.
SHARE a link to the Oak Park Green Energy Appeal page with your family and friends via an email or social media. Watch for updates, background and additional action ideas.
Stay tuned for information about how you can opt out of brown (fossil fuel-based) energy in Oak Park.
OTHER CREATIVE ACTIONS as you are so inspired, e.g., write a letter to the editor at Wednesday Journal, Oak Leaves, Tribune, and/or Sun Times. Make signs to bring to Village Board meetings.
On October 18, 2011, the Oak Park Village Board approved a plan making Oak Park the first municipality in Illinois to aggregate the resident and small business energy purchasing power and invest in a 100% renewable energy program. Since then, 91 communities in the state followed suit.
All of the available options included rate increases; the Oak Park Village Board chose the lowest cost option. We appreciate that the board is being cost-sensitive on our behalf, but we also know that opting for dirty energy has hidden health and climate costs that are not included in the price. These are what we can't afford to pay!
Right here in the U.S., climate change is taking a toll on people's lives, damaging land and wildlife, threatening our food supply, and hurting the economy. Think about it: severe weather was not good for Oak Park this past winter, it is not good for the drought stricken farms of the western U.S., it is not good for the flooded Southeast, and it was not good for the people who lost homes and loved ones in Super Storm Sandy.
Most disconcertingly, the Village Board made its decision just days after the release of a United Nations report on climate change that was written by hundreds of the world's leading climate scientists. The report called for immediate policy action to reduce carbon emissions. One of the best ways to do so is to invest in renewable energy.

I have been working on the Atari 8bit version of 8bit-Strike this week-end: optimizing the sprite engine (to reduce flicker), improving the tilesets, making the game fun! Check out these screenies from the "Aztec" and "Desert" maps!

Overview of Progress (2021/04/30)
April 30th, 2021 by 8bit-Dude. No Comments.
Overview of Progress
I had been sitting for a good couple of years on the idea of producing an 8bit port of CS2D. With the upcoming release 0.4 of 8bit-Unity, the technical side (tilemaps, sprites, decent perf.) was getting close. But getting started in earnest required an artist who could bring the vision to life, 8bit limitations notwithstanding…
… and so about 6 months ago, my good friend Fil. San. (an 8bit-Slicks fan) connected me with TIX, whom he recommended as a hot pixel artist on Atariage. That sealed the deal!
Over the past half-year, TIX produced awesome (3 colors, no more!) sets of animation that gave the inspiration for the game's direction. Just check out this grenade animation! Ain't it just frigging cool?
And so it takes 2 to dance: whenever the artist cranks out cool pixels, the coder gets a motivation boost that takes things to the next level (and vice/versa). So we went from a bitmap background to a proper charmap in just a few days. And it was… great??
Hmmm, not quite. You see, there were a few limitations with 8bit-Unity at that specific time…. First of all, I was endlessly recycling the quedex charset for any project that came along. And secondly, the sprite engine was not up to the task (a mere 10 single color sprite on Atari 8bit).
But the dream was so close, that it was worth chasing it! A few hundred lines of code modifications later, we had multiplexed sprites on the Atari 8bit, and a proper tileset from TIX!
Screenshots from the various supported platforms
So where do we stand right now? Let's put it down as a list of features already implemented:
The server side is fully operational. It is a Python script that emulates Bots, and supports features like in-game chat and stats (kills, wins, etc).
The client side is mostly operational. We already have all weapons (guns, rifles, items) and game objectives working.
In terms of game contents, there is only 1 fully playable map so far (dust2). But the good news is that the engine can run any map TIX is going to spew out… I'm waiting for aztec right now!
So when will the game make it to proper release? WHEN IT IS READY! You see, it is important to get the game balance right before we get this thing out. That's where proper beta testing plays an essential role.
If you are interested in joining the beta test period, please check the forum. Otherwise, please wait a few months. It is going to be totally worth it, you have our word! 😉
Website Launch (2020/04/15)
This is the start of a new 8bit adventure: producing a CS inspired online multiplayer shooter for 8bit computers and console.
8bit-Strike is a game for the Atari 8bit, Atari Lynx and C64 currently in development using the 8bit-Unity SDK. The online play is compatible with the 8bit-Hub and IP65 cards (RR-Net, DragonCard).
Stay tuned for more reports on the development progress and announcements of beta testing!
