India's Acid Attack Victims Show the World how to Run a Café, Live with Dignity
Vandita
Revenge, professional jealousy, land, property, and business disputes account for a majority of acid assaults, mostly on women, in India. According to data compiled by the Ministry of Home Affairs, 2011, 2012 and 2013 witnessed 83, 85 and 66 acid attack cases being reported from across the country. However, 309 acid attack cases were reported in 2014 — a 300% rise in 3 years despite the 2013 Supreme Court order asking the central and state governments to regulate over-the-counter acid sales.
A country that fails to fight for women's rights and safety, cares much less about its acid attacks victims, 85% of which are women. Mutilated faces, unimaginable pain and trauma, social sequestration, and loss of income and opportunity condemn the victim to a lifetime of suffering. With nowhere to go, no self-esteem, and no dreams of a brighter future, many are forced to live with their scars forever in oblivion.
But with the help of two NGOs — Stop Acid Attacks (SAA) and Chhanv Foundation, five courageous women — all maimed in acid attacks — are reclaiming their lives, as well as confidence, by bravely and successfully running Sheroes' Hangout, the now-famous café close to the Taj Mahal.
It all started with Laxmi, a woman who refused to surrender against all the odds. When she was just 15, Laxmi was attacked with acid by three men in 2005 in a busy marketplace. She had said no to marrying one of them more than twice her age.
Refusing to take the assault on her dignity lying down, she filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in Supreme Court in 2006. There she sought to amend existing criminal laws dealing with the heinous offense; a total ban on sale of acid to prevent chemical attacks; and formulation of a policy for treatment, compensation and care and rehabilitation of acid attack victims.
Her efforts paid off in 2013, when the Indian Penal Code was amended to make acid attack a special offense. Over-the-counter sale of acid was completely banned across the country, and the compensation for survivors was increased to INR 300,000.
For her relentless fight, Laxmi received the 2014 International Women of Courage award by U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama. However, she didn't settle there.
To rehabilitate the acid attack victims, Laxmi co-founded Chhanv Foundation with Alok Dixit, a journalist-turned-social activist, who was then leading the Stop Acid Attacks campaign aimed at elimination of acid violence and protection of survivors' rights. While the sight of an acid attack victim can scare a lot of people, Alok fell in love with Laxmi — the couple was blessed with a daughter in March 2015.
With the help of acid attack victims and supporters of the SAA network, Laxmi and Alok set up the Sheroes' Hangout café in December 2014. With an initial investment of about INR 300,000, much of which was raised by a crowdfunding website dedicated to Nitu, an acid attack survivor. Its "pay as you wish" contributions go toward the rehabilitation of survivors of acid violence in India.
Dealing with the pain of a charred face and a scarred soul is difficult to say the least, but run by five women — Rupa (22), Ritu Saini (19), Chanchal Kumari (20), Gita Mahor (42), and Neetu Mahor (26) — the groundbreaking café is a beacon of hope for hundreds of women who had acid thrown on them in deliberate assaults. Sheroes' Hangout not only allows some of them a new start, it motivates many others to come out of hiding, resist victimhood and build resilience, lead a normal respectable life and go to work.
TakePart explains the effect Sheroes' Hangout has had on the acid attack survivors:
Gita and her daughter Neetu were attacked with acid 23 years ago by Gita's husband leaving both with mutilated faces and limited vision. Today, the duo dresses up every morning and goes to the café to serve coffee and treats — as well as share their stories with customers. With SAA's help, while Gita took a baking course at a hotel in Agra and is serving cookies and cupcakes to customers, Neetu took singing lessons from an SAA volunteer and is making people smile with her melodious voice.
Ritu, who played volleyball for India before suffering an acid attack by a male cousin in 2012 over a family property dispute, handles accounts at the café. "My life changed ever since I joined SAA. With the emotional support I received, I regained the confidence to go out with my face uncovered. Now I don't care what people think of my disfigured face."
Rupa, whose stepmother attacked her with acid when she was just 12, is a skilled tailor and an amateur apparel designer. The outfits she designs are exhibited and sold at the café. "Sheroes' Hangout is not only giving us a chance to move our lives forward; it is also getting our stories out."
Chanchal, who was attacked with acid in 2012 by a man whose marriage proposal she refused, helps operate the café. "Our visitors are mostly people from around the world who hear about us in the news. They come here to see how acid attack survivors like us are coping with our lives."
Sheroes' Hangout is helping acid attacks victims restore self-confidence. It also gives its visitors a chance to experience the long traumatic struggle to get justice, appreciate their courage, hear directly from women working to support other women and girls, and bring the often ignored issue of acid violence in the larger public domain. Shikha Singh, a 20-year-old student of fashion design who finds herself in the café at least once a week, says:
"True that. I would never have known about the reality behind acid attack survivors had I not met these women. It is amazing the way they are working to fulfill their dreams despite the hurdles. I now prefer to spend on Sheroes' Hangout rather than a McDonald's or KFC. At least I'm sure the money will be used for a good cause."
The café attracted more than 5,000 customers in the first six months, a fact that reflects a shifting attitude toward acid attack and its survivors in India. Alisha Nangia, a tourist from Delhi, adds: "This place has amazing music and interiors. I happened to visit it by chance but I am so happy to come here. These are lovely brave women."

Just seen on UK tv an ad for a new collectable weekly(forthnightly?)magazine/model soldier collection.Thought some of you might be interested.
The only other part of the package is a apparently VERY small booklet (pamphlet!?)which is admittedly based on the top notch "Osprey" series.
Priced at £2.99 sterling for the first week special its not bad value but at £7.99 for the other issues its hard to justify .There are well over 30 issues and yet the choice of units (given on the back of Issue 1) doesnt seem great.
Thanks for the heads up on that mag dude, I saw the ads too on telly recently.
(edit) just out of interest 30+ issues at £8 a pop sounds a bit steep, I agree that you're much better off with a quality text like Osprey or one of the rare Blandford series.


Hair Loss Can Be Stopped!
If you or a loved one are experiencing hair loss, this page will will be of great help to you. Know this, you are not alone. There are many, many cases of hair loss involving men, women and children.
More than half of the men and women in the United States experience thinning hair with about 30% of these by age 30. This condition affects 50% of women over the age of 50. This can be traumatic for anyone because losing hair can affect self-esteem, confidence and relationships.
Although there are no definitive answers as to what causes a person to lose their hair, there are a number of general factors to consider.
1) Stress can release excessive hormones that may interrupt hair growth.
2)Thyroid malfunction can also do this.
3)Genetics (heredity) play a big roll as well.
5) Diet, allergies, lack of sleep and taking medications can have a powerful effect on the daily functioning of the scalp.
6) Internal virus, bacteria, or general illness can upset scalp balance.
7) Scalp cells that become packed and clogged eventually kill the hair follicle. It is believed that too much androgen, a testosterone-like hormone, and a build up of collagen are responsible for this effect.
1) Too much androgen, a testosterone-like hormone, in its natural form responsible for dense male body growth, and in its synthetic form, used in birth control pills, can often be responsible for balding in women. Androgen accumulation can cause a hair follicle to die.
2) Bad circulation - A lack of blood flow can shrink and kill the hair follicle because it is not getting a sufficient supply of blood, oxygen and nutrients.
3) Infectious Condition - can lead to inflammation of the hair follicle so severe it permanently destroys the hair follicle, resulting in bald patches.
Traction alopecia is the most common type of hair loss. It can result from the overuse of heated styling tools (blow-dryer, flatiron), chemical treatments (hair dyes, perms), or ponytails, extensions or braids that are too tight and can be reversed if caught early but it could also lead to permanent loss of hair due to damaged hair follicles.
Alopecia areata is the result of stress which leads to bald spots.
Seborrheic dermatitis is an exaggerated form of dandruff caused by yeast (malassezia). It can result in inflammation of the hair follicles. After a while, a red, itchy, dry rash develops on the scalp and can also develop on the face as well around the eyebrow area, nose and ears.
Psoriasis occurs on the scalp and body and is caused by the immune system causing a proliferation of skin cells. Basically, the cells don't shed and build up.
The hair follicle has a limited effective lifetime. There are three phases of growth: active hair growth known as the anagen phase, the transitional phase known as the catagen phase, and the rest phase known as the telogen phase.
Of the three main reasons for hair loss, it is mainly the alterations in the metabolism of androgen in the body that brings about hair loss. Androgen is the male hormone that plays a very important role in both hair loss and hair growth.
You see, the most important structure of a hair follicle is the dermal papilla, which is responsible for hair growth. It is responsible for deriving nutrients for hair follicle growth. It is very important for a person to have proper nutrition to maintain hair.
Certain scalp conditions tend to shrink hair follicles, create a wax like substance around the hair roots, as well as prevent proteins, vitamins and minerals from providing the needed nourishment to sustain life in the hair of these follicles. With this, the hair follicles tend to reproduce at a slower rate.
The goal is to revive tired hair follicles and prevent the remaining active hair follicles you have from becoming dormant due to the hardening of the follicles.
Many customers ask over and over again, "What natural things can I do for my hair loss?"
Step 1) First, apply a highly therapeutic scalp cream at night before bedtime by rubbing it into the parts of the scalp affected allowing it to absorb overnight.
It should be plant based and contains urea . This type of special cream can then penetrate the 7 layers of the thicker scalp skin and unpack sticky, dead cells that are suffocating your hair follicle that results in loss of hair.
Step 2) Then following this with the right shampoo is critically important. Stay away from highly commercialized and highly advertised products with chemical filled ingredients.
I believe in using only naturally made products made with herbal ingredients. I have seen time and time again that using an effective shampoo is critically important.
Three highly effective ingredients in an herbal shampoo should include tea tree oil, shea butter and urea. These three ingredients provide a powerful formula to strengthening the scalp and preventing hair loss.
Urea: Has been medically proven in various clinical studies to have superior anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that helps promote fast healing of dry, cracked, split skin, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, acne as well as dry, itchy, flaky scalp as well as adding much needed moisture. A natural shampoo doesn't disturb the natural PH of the hair & scalp like most commercial shampoos do. It should be so gentle and mild that it can even be used on babies and small children and be safe for the whole family.
Continue with this 2 step program with consistency. When your hair loss is resolved, you can simply continue with just the shampoo to KEEP your scalp healthy and PH balanced.
Remember, plan to be consistent for your good results! If you have a "hit or miss" attitude your results may be delayed or hindered all together.
At this point, I must warn you about Rogaine!
My problem was dry scalp & hair loss. I used your Double Strength TheraCream first in the evening all over my scalp followed by your Herbal Shampoo Treatment in the morning and took before and after pictures. I did this 3 to 4 times per week faithfully and got these great results! I hope this helps others to see what your products can do!
Below you can view the natural products I recommend that, in my professional opinion, work BEST for hair loss.

The old and favoured method of the ruling class, divide and rule, is once again on full display over the question of the public sector pay cap.
The ex-chancellor of the exchequer under Thatcher, Lord Lamont, claims it's fair because "public sector pay is on average higher than in the private sector."
This is the same method they trotted out in the general election when they tried to say that the older generation was better off than the younger generation to defend their vicious 'dementia tax' and winter fuel allowance cuts.
It is a handy way of trying to distract the workers from the real inequalities in society: between the super-rich and the rest of us.
The real question for us is: are our living standards worse or better as a result of government policies - and what are we going to do about it? Or rather, what are the trade union leaders going to do about it. We see the inflation rate taking off once again.
By diverting the pay debate into 'private versus public' the Tories hope to distract us from the real problems that all workers face, irrespective of occupation or age.
On a recent journey into London I was horrified to see the doors of the tube close on an elderly woman's hand. Her hand and handbag were inside the train and she was outside.
Immediately two young men and I ran up to help. We managed to prise the doors apart with some effort, and when they fully opened she was lying on her back on the platform as the doors releasing affected her balance. She must have been terrified.
When I reached my destination I told my friend what had happened. She related an incident that happened to her the previous week.
As she was exiting a train she was pushed by a woman trying to get on and ended up with her torso inside and her legs sticking out. She too was terrified the train would leave with her legs outside.
These are just two of what must be many incidents that happen daily. They illustrate how important it is to have guards on trains and platforms to ensure everyone has boarded safely.
The RMT union is currently in dispute with Southern Rail and other regional train operators over this very issue.
Many of the platforms Southern uses are curved which means the whole length cannot be monitored by the driver. Often visibility is poor in wet conditions. Many trains are 12 coaches long, adding to the impossibility of the driver seeing the whole length.
The Worcestershire Unite union community branch coach made its way to London on 1 July to join the tens of thousands marching against the Tories' murderous austerity.
The weather was perfect and the protesters all united in anger against the recent horrific events at Grenfell due to cutting corners and penny pinching to line the pockets of the wealthy.
We were also united on saving our NHS. Worcester NHS is suffering from overstretched resources and underpaid and overworked staff.
The memory that I will carry though, after a magnificent demo, was on the coach home. Driving through Kensington and seeing the gigantic blackened shell of Grenfell Tower, eerily menacing in the summer evening sun.
Staines Socialist Party members supported the 'Truth About Zane' contingent on the 1 July 'Tories out' demo, campaigning for justice following the seven-year-old's death from poisonous fumes in the 2014 Surrey floods (read more at truthaboutzane.com).
We all travelled up together by train from Staines with Zane's mum and our new banner. We sold 12 copies of the Socialist to campaigners on the train.
CIA spy drama Homeland is compelling watching. Although I love the show, I don't like the message it puts out.
It's a programme influenced by the 'war on terror'. It reinforces the establishment's point of view. However, the world has changed since the first season aired in 2011.
Trump is president, while Bernie Sanders ran a fantastic campaign. Disdain for the war in Iraq is high, and support for foreign wars extremely low. Homeland makers felt compelled to reflect the changed mood in the latest season of the show.
Elizabeth Keane is elected president on an anti-war ticket. But the programme makers fail to understand what a political situation like that would look like.
There were four protests featured in season six, all of them organised by right-wing forces. I think the opposite would be happening. Bernie Sanders mobilised bigger rallies than Clinton and Trump combined.
Obama betrayed hopes by continuing Middle East interventions. Before then, when he was seen as different, 250,000 came to hear him speak on the night of his election.
The ending of the final episode was very disappointing, awkwardly equating left-wing alternative ideas with Trump and totalitarianism.
There's so much talk about 'fake news' and 'alternative facts', surely we can trust the Office for National Statistics to get it right?
Despite workplace stress, a fall in real income, worsening environmental conditions, a housing crisis, cuts, poor diet, job insecurity, sanctions and the myriad of factors affecting our health - the stats show workers must be getting healthier!
About 137 million working days - 4.3 days per worker - were lost to sickness or injury in 2016, compared to 132 million in 2013. That was the lowest level since 1993 when the study began and absence due to sickness was at its highest - 7.2 days per worker.
There's been a fairly steady decline since 2003, especially during the economic downturn - surprised?
Minor illnesses like coughs and colds remain the most common given excuse at 25%, followed by musculoskeletal problems like back or neck pain. "Other" stated causes - stress, depression, anxiety and serious physical conditions - make up 12%.
Women, older workers, people with long-term health problems, smokers, health workers and employees in firms with more than 500 staff were most likely to be off sick.
Over the last 20 years the greatest reduction in sickness absence rates was among workers with long-term health problems, workers aged 50 to 64, and public sector workers.
It's all a matter of interpretation. You might argue health is improving. Or you could conclude that in these groups people are scared to stay home, however ill they may feel.
Workers with chronic health problems, older workers and those in precarious jobs or smaller companies without union organisation simply soldier on.
Perhaps this explains why agency workers frequently turn up at work - including hospitals - with heavy colds, potentially infecting others. And why meals-on-wheels staff with stomach bugs are told not to work in the kitchen, but sent to deliver meals to the elderly and vulnerable.
Sometimes looking beyond the data reveals the truth behind the stats.
I found the letter by Agnieszka Ford in issue 938 of the Socialist, 'Trotsky and Poland', quite informative about Adam Michnik and the group around Henry Szlajfer - that they were reading and discussing the ideas of Leon Trotsky in the 1960s in the Warsaw underground.
My wife grew up in the '60s in Wroclaw. She recalls that in the general population Trotsky's ideas and even his name were not familiar - to her, people from her generation or even the generation of her parents.
I have visited Poland countless times visiting relatives and friends. I have had many discussions with them. I mainly listened.
The main point which came was that for their generation "socialism" is a dirty word. They did not see the regime as Stalinism, but genuine socialism. They saw Poland as "socialist" as they were taught that in school.
I said to my wife: how could the workers of Gdansk cheer Thatcher when she visited in the late 1980s? She replied: "You have to understand - for us the 'socialist' system we were living under was terrible. There was great hardship. People wanted something different, a change, a better system, and that to them was capitalism."
Having listened to what many people who lived through that period have said to me, I can understand why they moved to embrace capitalism. At the time there was a capitalist boom in the West. There were no forces of Trotskyism on the ground who were active in workers' organisations at that time.
One of my wife's friends said to me two years ago: "This is a new system for us and we are still learning."
Having said all that, people did tell me there were some positive things in the old system. Education, healthcare and housing were all better. They told me they are very proud of their country, their independence and history - but that does not make them nationalists, they have said.
Things are changing and there are encouraging signs.
In the last general election, 'Razem' - a new left party formed in 2015 not long before the election, which has some radical demands including expanding workers' rights and opposing privatisation - received 3.6% of the vote. This is, however, below the 5% threshold to gain seats in parliament.
Poland is becoming more polarised now than ever due to the actions of the present right-wing government. There will be social upheaval, of that there is no doubt.
I know that the genuine forces of Trotskyism in Poland today are small. But with the events that will unfold there in the future, I am confident these forces will grow and gain influence.

The den is the haven and you'll do a wide range of work in there. Once in awhile chances are you'll wish you had area for a comfy oversized leather couch. If you remodel your den, than you can do this in order that you are happy along with your den.
Particles collecting can or dumpster in addition depends upon one company to another. Some can supply you secured bins which can be when loaded are caught up by service provider. The receptacles are gathered and taken in presence of an individual so that you can take a look.
If you are for the opposite stop of the selection and bought a currently owned home that needs a new yard cleanup, you can also rent a new next day dumpster. You may have gotten a deal on a home you want to fix up that you bought due to foreclosures. Too bad the yard can be a complete mess and devastation. The garden will not look like it has been trashed once you get their hands on it as soon as you rent a overnight dumpster.
The important thing to keep in mind about dumpster renting is to do your research. You don't want to wind up paying for something you don't need and eventually won't make use of.
A final suggestion - be ready for the dumpster before it shows up. Crystal clear space on your lawn if that is where you're going to want it set up or make sure the restrain is free recommendations where it will be parked. Should you be ready for the 3 Yard Dumpster Rental in Soldier, IA company to decrease off your trash container, your life as well as the project you are working on is going to be so much easier.

Luxembourg-based TV giant RTL has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with India's Reliance Broadcast. The plan is to form a Joint Venture to launch entertainment channels in India. Reliance already has a similar deal in place with US-based CBS Studios which resulted in three planned channels, one of which (BIG-CBS Prime) is already on air.
The RTL scheme calls for two channels, both male-skewing and with one based around reality programming and the other focusing on sport and extreme action material.
It is understood that RTL's subsidiary FremantleMedia will also supply formats into the deal, including The X Factor and American Idol. The first channel could be on air within a few months.

Keywords: Arctic anchialine lake, water stratification, zoobenthos, zooplankton, inter-annual changes, conservation
Lake Mogilnoe is a rare example of an anchialine lake (with subterranean connection to the ocean) in the Arctic, a refuge for landlocked populations of marine organisms. The lake has been the subject of intensive studies since the end of the 19th century. Here we demonstrate that between the 2003–07 and 2015–18 observation periods this permanently stratified lake experienced significant changes. The surface salinity increased and exceeded the tolerance limits of many freshwater organisms. The bottom anoxia expanded from one-fifth to one-third of the lake volume. Such a turn in stratification affected both composition and distribution of biota: freshwater zooplanktonic species virtually disappeared, while benthic communities shifted to shallower depths. Although recent changes in the lake stratification are consistent with the long-term trend, their scale is much larger than has been observed during the past 120 years. It was earlier considered that the lake dynamics were mainly affected by human activity in the vicinity of the lake. However, lack of human activity around Mogilnoe during last decades persuades us to search for the natural causes of the recorded changes.

This Is What Humans Sounded Like 8,000 Years Ago And It's Terrifying
by : UNILAD on : 21 Jul 2016 09:44
arts-year-one-584 Columbia Pictures
Want to weird yourself out? Listen to this video of what humans sounded like thousands of years ago.
In a time where nothing was written down and there were obviously no sound recorders, it's difficult to imagine what our ancestors sounded like.
Somehow, though, researchers have figured it out, and they've recreated what they claim is the mother tongue of one of the largest group of languages spoken around the world – the Indo-European languages. And it sounds like an unnatural combination of a very enthusiastic guy having sex and a chipmunk.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8MNCV38xAU
Most European languages including English, French, Spanish, German and Punjabi all descended from this language – which experts have dated back to between 6,000 and 2,000 BC.
Those involved in the research put together a video that counts down numbers, starting with how the number is said today and ending with how it would have been pronounced in Proto-Indo-European. Interestingly, the higher you count, the more far off the relation is between the two languages.
Researchers at Cambridge and Oxford used statistics to 'move backwards' through the family tree of languages descended from Proto-Indo-European.
160630_horizontal_language_figure University of Cambridge
By analysing languages that descended from Proto-Indo-European and manipulating the shape of the soundwave, they revealed how words would have sounded in the distant past, The Daily Mail reports. Basically, they created mathematical 'fingerprints' for words and then used these as 'signposts' to recreate how words would have sounded 8,000 years ago.
Professor John Aston, from Cambridge's Statistical Laboratory said:
Sounds have shape. As a word is uttered it vibrates air, and the shape of this soundwave can be measured and turned into a series of numbers.
Once we have these stats, and the stats of another spoken word, we can start asking how similar they are and what it would take to shift from one to another.
Very fascinating, but also very weird.

Канино — село в Сапожковском районе Рязанской области России, административный центр Канинского сельского поселения.

География
Село расположено на берегу реки Мостья в 14 км на запад от районного центра посёлка Сапожок.

История
Канино в качестве сельца упоминается в списке с Ряжской писцовой книги Григория Киреевского 1629-30 годов, где оно показано за князем Алексеем Никитичем Трубецким, а в нем церковь во имя Николы чудотворца. В окладных книгах 1676 года церковь в Канине названа уже Покровской. В 1754 году помещиком Ирадионом Михайловичем Кошелевым на месте бывшей деревянной построена была каменная церковь в честь Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы с приделом Алексея, человека Божия. В 1804 году она иждивением другого помещика того же села - Алексея Ивановича Татищева церковь была оштукатурена и приведена в благопричинный вид. В 1819 году устроен и освящен второй придел - в честь святителя Николая. С 1874 года в селе существовало образцовое двуклассное училище, в котором местные священники состояли законоучителями.

Деревня Варваровка, которая образовалась  в 3 км от Канина в 1812 году, по всей видимости, была названа в честь хозяйки – графини Варвары Александровны Татищевой (1776-1853), правнучки  И.М. Кошелева.  По ревизии 1816 года  на первом этапе из  Канина в новую деревню Варваровку  было отселено около 30 семей. Интересный факт: в 1989 году экспедицией, возглавляемой археологом В.П. Челяповым (1952-2008),  около Варваровки были обнаружены следы поселения бронзового века [6].

В XIX — начале XX века село являлось центром Канинской волости Сапожковского уезда Рязанской губернии. В 1906 году в селе было 521 дворов.

С 1929 года село являлось центром Канинского сельсовета Сапожковского района Рязанского округа Московской области, с 1937 года — в составе Рязанской области, с 2005 года — центр Канинского сельского поселения.

Население

Инфраструктура
В селе имеются Канинская средняя общеобразовательная школа, фельдшерско-акушерский пункт, отделение почтовой связи.

Q: Loading more than 10 images on iPhone? I'm trying to add more than 10 pictures on ScrollView.
NSUInteger i;
for (i = 1; i <= numberOfImage; i++)
{
    NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"d%dimage%d.png", imageSection, i];

    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

    // setup each frame to a default height and width, it will be properly placed when we call "updateScrollList"
    CGRect rect = imageView.frame;
    rect.size.height = kScrollObjHeight;
    rect.size.width = kScrollObjWidth;
    imageView.frame = rect;
    imageView.tag = i;  // tag our images for later use when we place them in serial fashion
    [scrollView addSubview:imageView];
    [imageView release];
}

This code is from Apple example and it works fine. But if the variable 'i' is bigger than 10, 'UIImage *image' is empty. The imageName seems to correct. But I don't know why it does not load image. Does anybody sees the problem??
And one more thing. If I do like that, does iOS controls memory automatically? I mean it's kind of wasting memory if all (more than 10) images are loaded on memory even they are not displayed. I've heard that iOS loads images only displayed on screen and free images those are not displayed. Is that right?
Thanks for reading.

A: UIimage imageNamed: does cache file contents. I recommend you to use UIImage +imageWithContentsOfFile: that doesn't cache at all in such situation.

A: You probably have to set the contentSize accordingly.
IOS will not do that magic memory management thing unless you are using a CATiledLayer based UIView.
If UIImage is not created, it because the name does not refer to an image in the resource folder and you should have an exception.

A: You have to make sure the images have the correct name (like 0dimage11.jpg) and are added to the XCode project.

A: You need to have the correct file names. You said you think the file names are correct.
NSLog(@"Loop %d: d%dimage%d.png", i,imageSection, i]);

Log out the file names so you can see what the names actually are. Place that line in your loop.
NSUInteger i;
for (i = 1; i <= numberOfImage; i++)
{
    NSString *imageName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"d%dimage%d.png", imageSection, i];
    NSLog(@"Loop %d: d%dimage%d.png", i,imageSection, i]);
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:imageName];
    UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

    // setup each frame to a default height and width, it will be properly placed when we call "updateScrollList"
    CGRect rect = imageView.frame;
    rect.size.height = kScrollObjHeight;
    rect.size.width = kScrollObjWidth;
    imageView.frame = rect;
    imageView.tag = i;  // tag our images for later use when we place them in serial fashion
    [scrollView addSubview:imageView];
    [imageView release];
}

Then monitor the filenames in the debugger and see if those image files exist, and in the same directory where Apple put their image files.

A: Hey,Its not good way to load 10 images at once.All things you have done correct and still you'r image display empty then please check log may be there is memory warning.You can you apple's sample code photoscroller. It will do all thing that you want and also manages good memory.there are two method one is using CATieldLayer and another one directly load images. I recommended you to use method that uses CATieldLayer.

A: Sorry guys. This is turned out to be my fault. well, not exactly MY fault. Designers throw me many files with wrong filenames like d1imgae11.png... Anyway tips from all you guys gave me different view to see the problem and I got another hint about not to cache images. Thanks.

Where You Go Is Not Who You'll Be: An Antidote to the College Admissions Process Mania by Frank Bruni (Grand Central Publishing, $25.00, 218 pages)
"For too many parents and their children, getting into a highly selective school isn't just another challenge, just another goal. A yes or no from Amherst or Dartmouth… or Northwestern is seen as the conclusive measure of a young person's worth, a binding verdict on the life that he or she has led up until that point, an uncontestable harbinger of the successes or disappointments to come. Winner or loser: This is when the judgment is made. This is the great, brutal culling. What madness. And what nonsense."
Frank Bruni has the good sense to argue that adult life may begin with one's acceptance into a college, but it does not end there. Students are responsible for what they make out of their education, whether at an elite or less well known university. As he states, "Great educations aren't passive experiences; they're active ones." He builds up his case by noting that several prominent and successful leaders in our society attended smaller, less "prestigious" colleges. Condoleeza Rice, for example, attended the University of Denver as an undergraduate. Steve Jobs, of course, dropped out of college, as did Bill Gates. Did Rice and Jobs and Gates turn out to be losers? Failures? Not exactly.
Bob Morse, who heads the college rankings program at U.S. News & World Report, did not go to Harvard, Yale or Princeton. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Cincinnati before getting his MBA from Michigan State. As Morse has concluded, "It's not where you went to school. It's how hard you work."
Bruni emphasizes that some students will feel more comfortable at a small college offering a "more intimate academic environment," even if schools like Kenyon, Denison, St. Lawrence or – a school I'm adding to his list – the University of the Pacific (UOP) are "less venerated than Princeton, Brown and Cornell." For some, smaller colleges are "ideal environments: especially approachable, uniquely nurturing." (UOP hangs banners reminding its students that it offers "Professors who know your name.")
In this calm, forthright book, Bruni tries to reduce the "madness" of the college admission process, noting that there are several inherent flaws and biases that applicants have little or no control over. For example, a particular college may need a couple of trombone players for the band. If you are the first or second trombone-playing applicant, you may get a large packet offering you admission and a scholarship. If you're the third trombonist applicant, you'll likely receive a thin envelope containing a rejection notice. If life, as John F. Kennedy stated, is not fair, than neither is the process of determining who gets into our colleges and universities.
Students who suffer the consequences of unfair admissions policies will learn that it will not be their last experience with life's unfairness. What counts is their positive response to adversity and their perseverance in making the best of whatever circumstance they have to settle for.
Bruni's book would be an excellent purchase for high school students who feel threatened by the highly competitive process of seeking admission to a so-called "elite" university. Reading his book may help such students to calm down, and feel encouraged to investigate various colleges, not just the "status" schools that their classmates may lust after. (Any school can offer a fine, valuable education to students ready to demand a lot from themselves and their environment.) This book is also a near indispensable guide for the parents of current high school students.
Where You Go… reminds the reader, young or old, high school student or adult parent, that "there's no single juncture, no one crossroads, on which everything (in life) hinges." Some, in fact, will find that a valuable lesson can be learned via being rejected by one's top choice universities. One young woman, a graduate of the famed and "charmed" Phillips Exeter Academy, was rejected by all five of the colleges she applied to. She states that, "There's a beauty to that kind of rejection, because it allows you to find the strength within." That young woman started up a new federally-supported public elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona. A loser? Hardly.

A review of You Should Be So Lucky, an album by Benmont Tench.
A review posted in the April 30, 1971, issue of the UOP Pacifican newspaper ("CSN&Y Present New Album: 4 Way Street is Dishonest") dealt with the issue of honest and dishonest recordings. Although that article dealt with the release of a band's carefully selected and edited live recordings, the discussion might be expanded to include solo recordings. With his first solo album, Benmont Tench has defiantly issued an honest record.
From Tench's days with Tom Petty – days that began before they formed Mudcrutch, Tench has been experiencing life and the mysteries that come along with it. Touring with Bob Dylan in 1987 and his subsequent work with Mr. Dylan certainly added to his musical experiences.
Those listening to a concert or album bring their own baggage and then try to incorporate their thoughts, feelings and emotions into a composer's work. Some cannot enjoy a Nick Drake album while others will play it over and over. When it comes to You Should Be So Lucky, I offer the notion of sitting back and leaving the analyst's hat on the table. Jump on the musical roller coaster, put your head back and just listen. Sit back and enjoy the ride as this album is a good one. Tench's album is an honest recording – one free of tricks and unnecessary adornments, that should be experienced for the pleasure and enjoyment it brings.

My research is primarily focused on cardiovascular complications associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Over the past 25 years, I have conducted and supervised research focused on several aspects of insulin signaling at the molecular level. Using a combination of molecular and cellular techniques, we have revealed novel signaling pathway defects present in diabetes that contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose homeostasis, and atherosclerosis.
We are currently exploring the mechanisms responsible for the reversal of diabetes after bariatric surgery. Using both clinical studies and mouse models, we are analyzing the signaling mechanisms responsible for the beneficial metabolic and cardiovascular improvements observed in response to Roux-en-Y bypass, even prior to significant weight loss. We hope one day to "bypass the bypass" and harness the beneficial effects of the procedure without surgery.
My other research interests include vitamin D and prostaglandin metabolism. One of the most exciting aspects of working in the field of prostaglandin metabolism has been their ubiquitous nature and overlap into several seemingly unrelated areas of research. An example of this is the effects of prostaglandins on the cell cycle and the role of prostaglandins in lung cancer.
We have also applied our knowledge of prostaglandins to the field of preterm birth and have recently received a U.S. patent for a non-invasive biomarker to identify women at risk of preterm birth. In fact, we are in the process of developing a clinical test to predict preterm birth with a biotech company that specializes in diagnostic tests for women's health.
We have been most fortunate over the years to receive generous funding from the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, March of Dimes, Amgen Pharmaceuticals, Reata Pharmaceuticals, The George Link Foundation, and The Theresa Santmann Foundation.

The Reform Party of Ontario (RPO) (PRO; ) was a minor political party in Ontario, Canada. Until the 1999 provincial election, the party ran one candidate each election in order to keep the party's name in the possession of supporters of the Reform Party of Canada.

Although a small group of candidates laid claim to the name, they had to run under the 'Independent Reform' label. After the federal Reform Party became defunct, several independent Reformers revived the RPO name, and the party ran two candidates in the 2007 provincial election and four in the 2011 provincial election.

The Reform Party of Ontario is not to be confused with the pre-Confederation Reform Party, which later became the Ontario Liberal Party, with the leftist progressive United Reform party of the 1940s, nor the defunct populist social conservative New Reform Party of Ontario (known as the Family Coalition Party of Ontario until it was renamed in 2015).

Official Reform Party of Ontario
Supporters of the federal Reform Party registered the "Reform Party of Ontario" name in 1989, and re-registered it in 1994.  This registration was made to prevent anyone else from using the 'Reform' name in Ontario politics; the party nominated one paper candidate in each election and did not campaign actively. Ken Kalopsis, the co-president of the Canadian Alliance, ran for the RPO in the 1999 provincial election in Davenport, as its first candidate to maintain registration and control the rights to the party name. Kalopsis won 174 votes without campaigning.

Federal Reform leader Preston Manning and Premier of Ontario Mike Harris had a good relationship, and it was agreed that the federal Reform Party would not campaign actively provincially in order to prevent vote splitting. The provincial Tories returned the favour by giving some unofficial support to Reform in federal politics.

Robert Beard was the party's leader for RPO in 2002. With the end of the federal Reform Party, the provincial Reform Party was deregistered in September 2003.

Unofficial movement
In 1993, several strong supporters of the Reform Party of Canada started a movement that advocated for an active Reform party in Ontario. This movement was not affiliated with the federal Reform Party, and thus was prevented from using the Reform Party of Ontario name by Elections Ontario.

After the 1995 general election, the Ontario-based group founded "Grassroots United Against Reform's Demise" (GUARD) to lobby for the Reform Party's participation in provincial politics. "Focus Federally For Reform", which opposed an active party, was formed in response opposing participation. A vast majority of Ontario Reform supporters backed Focus Federally, and Grassroots United lost their bid to have the party enter Ontario politics.

The group supporting a Reform movement in Ontario formed the "Reform Association of Ontario" (Reform Ontario), cofounded by Kimble F. Ainslie of London and Reg Gosse of Kitchener in 1994. The association was denied party status by the Ontario Election Commission in 1995, and ran unsuccessfully in the 1995 election. Candidates were nominated in Huron—Bruce, Kitchener—Waterloo, London, Ontario district, and other ridings in the Greater Toronto Area for Reform Association of Ontario. The group's aim was to protest the undemocratic decision. The candidates gained very few votes and no candidate was elected.

The Reform Association of Ontario ran a candidate in the 1999 election in Prince Edward—Hastings and in the 2003 election in Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound. Both were credited as "Independent Reform" candidates, but gained very few votes and no candidate was elected. Running again as an Independent Reformer, the 2003 Reform Ontario candidate for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, Bill Cook, ran in the 2005 Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey by-election, against the Ontario Progressive Conservative leader, John Tory, who won.

The Reform Association for Ontario was renamed the "Reform Ontario" movement and continued to promote its "Triple 'R' Government" agenda, including recall for removing unpopular politicians and fixed election dates, referendums on the issues such as electoral financing reform and preferential ballot voting, and "real responsible representation" through more free votes for MPPs instead of direction from party whips in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

Official party

The "Representative Party of Ontario" was formed by and led by Bill Cook, a former Reform Ontario activist from Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound.   The party never got beyond being a reserved provincial political party name in the Province of Ontario, Canada.  The party's request to register the name and abbreviation was submitted in early September 2004, verified in late October-early November, and reserved on Friday, December 17, 2004.  The name was judged to be not acceptable by Elections Ontario on March 10, 2005. The party hoped to become the grassroot Reform-oriented alternative to the main Liberal, Progressive Conservative and New Democratic parties in the province.  The party's traditional populist beliefs in representative and direct democracy followed those of the politics of pre-Confederation Reform Party leader William Lyon Mackenzie, former United Farmers of Ontario premier Ernest Charles Drury and former Ontario Cooperative Commonwealth Federation member Agnes Campbell Macphail.

When the name was rejected in 2005, the party was then intended to be revived as "Ontario Alternative", according to Elections Ontario, a name reserved by Joshua E. Eriksen, a student of political science at Redeemer College and McMaster University in Hamilton. As federal Reform Party supporters no longer had possession of the name "Reform Party of Ontario", the name was reclaimed by the provincial Reformers for the 2007 election. Bradley J. Harness, who cofounded the federal Ontario Party of Canada with George Burns in 2002, was selected as its party leader, Cook as its deputy leader and agriculture critic, and Eriksen as its provincial party president.

The RPO ran two candidates: Cook in Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound and Harness in Lambton—Kent—Middlesex. Eriksen was its campaign manager, but neither candidate gained many votes nor were elected.

Past party president Donn Korbin and chief financial officer Andrew Long pushed to keep the Reform Party of Ontario a true blueprint of the Common Sense Revolution era of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. During that era, Mike Harris and the Ontario PCs had won two majority governments. Special interest groups like the Ontario Landowners Association (OLA) and its "Rural Revolution" members had maintained a hard right line with the RPO against the Ontario Tories, now led by Red Tory moderate John Tory.

Joining forces, the populist-based RPO and libertarian-based OLA agreed on many common principles to build a unified Northern Rural Ontario manifesto for the farmer and labourer. Three basic principles were identified: "property rights, deamalgamation, and less government yet better governance". RPO party leader Harness and president Eriksen met with OLA president and current Carleton—Mississippi Mills PC MPP Jack MacLaren and eight other senior leaders from the group to work out the details. Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox & Addington PC MPP Randy Hillier considered crossing over to Reform in the Ontario Legislature as its first member because of his dissatisfaction with Tory's leadership.

According to the press, Harness had worked out a side deal under which he would become the deputy under Hillier, if Hillier joined Reform Ontario. Hillier declined and then quickly denied any involvement with the side deal, and the strength of both organizations was greatly diminished.

2009 and 2010 by-election campaigns
On February 4, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced that a by-election would be held on March 5, 2009 in Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock to fill the seat vacated by its PC MPP Laurie Scott, who stepped aside so that Progressive Conservative leader John Tory could seek a seat in the legislature.

Reform Party leader Brad Harness announced that Reform planned to run a candidate, and slammed Tory as an "urbanite" who would only appeal to "big C" Conservatives. However, Harness backed down, and the party did not field a candidate.

Harness announced that he would run a Reform candidate in the March 4, 2010 by-election in Ottawa West—Nepean, but then Harness backed down again and did not do so.

2011–2015
The party ran four candidates in the 2011 election: Robert Szajkowski in Hamilton Centre, Gerald Augustine in Niagara West–Glanbrook, David Natale in Vaughan, and the party leader Harness in Lambton—Kent—Middlesex. Former Hamilton Mountain PC MPP Trevor Pettit acted as a campaign manager and deputy leader of the party. None of the party's candidate were elected.

The party did not run candidates in the 2014 election, and was deregistered by Elections Ontario.

Subsequent activity

Some executives of the Reform Party of Ontario and some grassroots members, were approached to join the new expansion towards a broader base in time for the 2018 provincial election. Those actively involved include RPO president Joshua E. Eriksen, RPO deputy leader Bill Cook, as well as other RPO executives from the past.

At an annual general meeting in Burlington at the Crossroads Forum, the Family Coalition Party of Ontario leadership via its newly elected party leader James Gault, deputy leader and director of communications Eric Ames, president Lynne Scime led a move to combine the original traditional moral values of the FCP with the democratic reform principles of the RPO into a new rebranded party called the New Reform Party of Ontario.

However, the new party was deregistered by Elections Ontario as of January 2016, after only running once in the 2015 Simcoe North byelection, where Gault and New Reform placed fifth out of eight candidates with 197 votes (0.50%).

Party ideology
The Reform Party of Ontario, like the Reform Association of Ontario and the Reform Ontario movement before it, was an Ontario provincial version of the federal Reform Party of Canada. Though populism makes up the main thrust of its political ideology, Reform Ontario focused on a mixture of fiscal, social, and libertarian conservatism.

RPO supported a reduction in the size of government. RPO would balance the budget and pay down the deficit and debt first before cutting taxes. Reform Ontario respect for life, freedom and liberty of the individual, and private ownership of property with limited yet effective government are key principles. They believed the family unit is the basic building block of society, in a stronger institution of marriage reduces cultural ills and increases labour productivity. RPO believed in more public involvement by the people using private investment for more effective and efficient service in areas of health care, education, and energy, which allow government limited control over personal decisions by its taxpayers.

Reform Ontario supported what it called "Triple 'R' government": (1) referendums on the issues such as electoral financing reform and preferential ballot voting, (2) a recall for removing unpopular politicians and fixed election dates, and (3) "real responsible representation" through more free publicly recorded and unwhipped votes for MPPs instead of direction by party whips in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The party also supported allowing municipalities that have been amalgamated the right to deamalgamate, and of strengthening of individual property rights.

HOUSTON(AP) The Houston Rockets keep surprising everyone but themselves, and now they've got a chance to pull off the ultimate stunner: knocking out the Los Angeles Lakers.
Aaron Brooks scored 26 points, Luis Scola added 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the scrappy, undermanned Rockets pushed the Lakers to the limit in their Western Conference semifinal series with a 95-80 victory in Game 6 on Thursday night.
Reserve Carl Landry scored 15 as the Rockets built another huge lead in the first half, then fought off a Lakers rally to force Game 7 on Sunday at the Staples Center.
Kobe Bryant scored 32 and Pau Gasol added 14 points and 11 rebounds for Los Angeles, which lost for only the third time in the last 18 games when it has a chance to close out a series.
The Lakers have one more opportunity to finish off Houston, but they probably didn't expect to need it, three games after Yao Ming exited the series with a broken left foot.
The winner will play the Denver Nuggets, who finished off Dallas on Wednesday night and now have a few extra days to rest.
Like Bryant, Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson tried to put a positive spin on his team's predicament.
Los Angeles won Game 5 by 40 points, matching Houston's worst playoff loss, but the Rockets came out dominant instead of demoralized on Thursday.
They put together a near carbon copy of the first half of Game 4, when they seemed to hit every open shot, smothered the Lakers on defense and built an 18-point halftime lead.
Bryant missed a halfcourt shot at the halftime buzzer and angrily shook his head as he stormed off the court. The Rockets led 52-36 at the break - one basket shy of the halftime score in Game 4.
On Sunday, Houston stretched its lead to 29 and cruised to a 99-87 win. This time, the Lakers made a game of it, opening the second half with a 16-2 spurt.
But Landry converted a three-point play to break the Lakers' momentum and Brooks sank a 3-pointer to help Houston rebuild its lead.
The Rockets hit their last eight shots in the third quarter and took a 75-65 lead to the fourth. Landry drove down the lane for a one-handed dunk with 6:56 left to put Houston up 81-71 and Bryant checked in after a long rest.
But Bryant missed four of his next six shots and Brooks scored eight points over the next five minutes to secure another surprise over the Western Conference's top seed.
The Rockets scored 40 points in the paint and held Los Angeles to 36 percent shooting (30-for-84). The Lakers went only 5-for-23 from 3-point range.
Houston opened the game with a 17-1 burst, electrifying another red-clad capacity crowd at the Toyota Center.
Bryant made the Lakers' first field goal near the 6-minute mark, but Scola put in another short jumper to make it 19-3 - one point better than Houston's opening run in Game 4.
Houston stayed in control for the entire half and Bryant's frustration boiled over near the 2-minute mark.
With Ron Artest blanketing him near midcourt, Bryant appeared to shove Artest and earned a technical foul. The temperamental Artest, ejected from Games 2 and 3, ran away to avoid a confrontation and Brooks sank the free throw for a 47-31 Houston lead.
Notes: The Rockets have won 11 of their last 12 home games. ... The team winning after the first quarter has won all 12 of Houston's postseason games. ... The Lakers are 30-4 all-time in seven-game series when they have a 3-2 lead.
