About two months ago, images of foreign models dressed up as Spartans delivering food on Beijing streets made headlines everywhere. The publicity stunt generated even more attention when Beijing police detained some of the models for disturbing public order.
Although most people remembered the "Spartans" instead of the food they were holding, it doesn't stop Sweetie Salad, the Beijing-based startup business specializing in salad delivery, from rapidly growing.
In April, the then nine-month old Sweetie Salad reportedly had received "tens of millions" of yuan in a series A funding round. Today, the brand can sell up to 10,000 jars of salad online per day in Beijing, according to Wu Jingran, one of Sweetie Salad's founders, during a recent interview with China Daily website.
Wu and her partner Yu Wenlu, both were experts in Internet marketing in their previous jobs, started the brand in July of last year to introduce a food delivery concept that would satisfy people's growing concern with healthy eating via online ordering.

कविता न, लाइफ में २ ही टाइम पर समझ आती है: एक, जब दिल लगता है, और दूसरा, जब दिल टूटता है.

I have learnt that hope can kill you a lot faster than heartbreak can.
वह: ये जो हमारे आज, कल और परसों हैं न, ये बदले नहीं जा सकते.
वह: पर ये जो हमारे सपने हैं न, उन्हें इस आज, कल और परसों से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता. बादल की तरह वे इस पूरे धुंए, प्रदूषण, परिस्थिति से ऊपर उड़ जाते हैं. हर इंसान के सपने का बादल, उसके दिल से एक लम्बे, पतले से तार से जुड़ा होता है. हम बिना किसी तकलीफ के, दोनों दुनिया में जीते हैं.
यह: कभी पहाड़ों पर घूमने गयी हो?
यह: पहाड़ों पर अक्सर बादल हमारे आस पास आ जाते हैं, और पल भर में ही, हम बादल के बीच में होते हैं. एक ही मिनट में, हमारा बादल, हमारा आज, अभी बन जाता है.
ये जो " आज, अभी" होते हैं न, इन्ही सब को इकठ्ठा कर के बनते हैं, आज, कल, और परसों.
वह: अच्छा? सच में? आज, कल, और परसों, सिर्फ "अभी, इस पल" का जोड़ है, बस?

Sometime in mid September, 2 documentary students were working near AIIMS. It was 1 am and they felt like having paranthas. They headed to a nearby stall. AIIMS is well populated and well lit all the time.
Something happened at this stall. Some reports say that they tried to save a man who was already being troubled by Rohit Krishna Mahanta, who was dead drunk at the time. Some say that they requested him to not smoke and he started abusing them and their religion. Either way, the 2 students left the scene soon after. But the drunk Rohit Krishna Mahanta would have none of it. He took his car, followed these two, rammed the car into their bike, and then dragged them on the road. He also hit 2 other vehicles after that, but he deliberately murdered only these 2.
Make no mistake - this was a hate crime directed against their religion. Gurpreet Singh's father indicated that Rohit Krishna Mahanta also blew smoke balls in their faces deliberately. He made statements like, "In Assam, I would have you killed and no one would know."
Why am I writing this? Because obviously, Rohit Krishna Mahanta is a man drunk on power. His father is a visiting faculty at IIT Delhi. He knows, even when he is drunk, that he can get people killed at will - Assam or Delhi makes no difference. So he will get out. Then he will go on to finish his Law degree, and he will become a lawyer. I hope that one day, when you are looking for him, google will bring you to this page. And you will see what he is really like.
He has not been arrested yet. Because he has also "sustained injuries" and is "undergoing treatment". However, he was well enough to be "released on bail" earlier. He is practising under a standing Counsel for the Assam government.
Everyone is saying that Income Tax rates are too high. I agree. I believe it is time to move from individual earning taxation to taxing on the basis of the burden an individual puts on the ecosystem.
1. Children Tax: The state allows you to have 2 children. You want more than that, you better be able to afford them and compensate for their carbon footprint on the world.
There's more: In a Christian wedding, before you get married, you have to undergo mandatory counselling in the church. I believe this is an excellent way to prepare people for life changes. There should be a mandatory mental fitness test that parents should have to pass before they have children. This will put an end to people who have kids just to get rid of pesky relatives. If you don't have it in you to be responsible for a child for 18 years, then please don't have children.
While adoptive parents have to prove a thousand things, the State takes no measures to ensure the safety and well being of biologically born children. If a couple is not fit to be a parent - they should not be allowed to have children. Because children are a nation's collective resource. And no child should be abused or ignored by indifferent parenting. Parenting is not a right or a fertility contest. Its a responsibility. If you can't take it, have the courage to tell your families. And to yourself.
2. Trash Tax: A person should be taxed on the basis of how much trash they generate. Commercial establishments too. This will ensure that 5 star hotels start serving their guests water in glass tumblers instead of generating plastic waste for every 200 ml of water their guests drink. This will ensure that people think before they buy. A mindful consumer will be rewarded in this way and the environment will be automatically better. Amazon will start shipping in containers that actually match the product being shipped. And people will learn to not waste food. If you do not do waste segregation at source, you should have to pay extra because someone else has to do it for you.
The Trash Tax will reduce consumerism, and therefore, will be bitterly opposed by the major companies of the world. I think it is time we decided, as a species, which we need more - the world, or the growth of the companies.
The world has enough for our need, not enough for our greed. - This quote is usually attributed to Gandhi.
It was a guy called Faizal Wani and a guy called Sahil.
The fragile egos of the parents have been so proactive that they have immediately removed the hyperlinks that named the children. So I am going to post this in a few days, when their powerful snoops have stopped hounding the namers of their misguided children.
In an earlier post, I have posted the video. Here now is the story in the words of the child who got slapped so hard. Please read the full impact of this action on his life. Since you are a foreign university, you will anyway give admission to these children. And we are very glad that you will. This is precisely the kind of scum of the earth that we want to get rid of. Do us a favour - their parents are rich enough to buy citizenship in Canada or Switzerland. Please convince them to do that also. Losing the money is a very small price to pay to get rid of people like this. They are a walking (sorry, driving) threat to the rest of us.
I can bet that within 10 years from now, these children will have bullied their way. They may not have an FIR against their name, but they will have done enough tormenting.
I am writing this mail to express my feelings about how my school has handled this situation.
I also want to make it clear that I have forgiven all those who did this to me.
I did not attend today's assembly where kids who bullied me were to apologise to me, because I do not feel safe to walk back in to my own school.
I was slapped 4 / 5 days before this incident by another boy, and I had told the Principal about it. i did not hit back. Despite that, after just 4 / 5 days I was again attacked by a group of my schoolmates.
I have suffered a lot of pain and humiliation over the incident, but I am glad that they have said sorry to me. I hope that they have learnt their lesson and they will not frighten or threaten me or other children in the future.
This was not a "slap bet". I never made a "slap bet" with Faisal or any of the other boys who attacked/filmed me. Sahil made a bet with me, and no one else had anything to do with it.
Yet, my school has issued a public statement that this was a "consensual" slap bet incident between us. They have also said there was no bullying. This was intentional bullying.
I feel really sad to hear that. I feel really ashamed about this incident. They had ganged up on me since that morning, and made me so scared that I had no option but to let him hit me on my face without even flinching. Did you know that before this slap which was caught on video, he had slapped me but I had flinched because I have braces and he knew I have had a surgery in my ear when I was 4, yet he slapped me saying "nothing will happen, chill". Further, he told me that if I did not take the slap without flinching, the situation would be a lot worse.
I was afraid, and I am now ashamed of being afraid. Many people have asked me as to why I did not hit back or try to defend myself. The only answer I have is 'fear', the fear of getting hit again and harder. I knew for a fact that things would've gone ugly in the washroom. My upbringing has always told me that physical violence is never the right option.
Right after the incident, my mother was not informed about the incident by the School. She got to know about it only when a student sent her the video. She was also made to wait for 30 minutes outside the Principal's office before she could meet me.
I truly love my alma mater and I want to feel secure there. I spend seventy percent of my whole day at school. I hoped that at least my school would protect me and prevent such a thing from happening to me or anyone else. And so I have put my faith in the school.
If I'm not safe at school then there is no other place around where I would be safe.
I've always taken my academics seriously and have been doing fairly well at them but when things like these happen, it would definitely leave me traumatised and wouldn't allow me to focus on the things where I need to.
But I feel most hurt because the school has called this incident "consensual", as if I am somehow to share the blame. I wish my school was more worried about my and other kid's wellbeing, who are bullied. But they have simply said there was no bullying.
I am in physical pain as well. I have been told by the doctor that my ear drum has been perforated with a large hole with internal bleeding. It was also said that I have temporarily lost partial loss of hearing in the left ear. As per the doctor, this should heal in 10-12 weeks. What if it doesn't ?
I play squash 5 days a week, go for dance twice a week and the gym 3 times a week. The worst part is that I have to give up all of these until I get better. The doctor said that these activities would cause me greater pain and would stall or even stop my recovery. I was scared when the doctor had told me that there are a lot of chances of me losing my hearing permanently. I cried because I was scared and I think anyone else would be too.
Over the last four days I've had serious thoughts about quitting the school. However, when I woke up this morning I realised that I'm not the one who resorted to violence, would it be the right thing for me to give up ?
I respect and love my school, and expect that my teachers and friends will do everything possible so that I can come back to school with my head held high. I hope my school will stand by me, and make sure something like this does not happen to any kid in the future.
This is Faizal Wani slapping a surrounded Rajveer Bansal. As a result of this incident, Rajveer lost 25% of hearing in one ear.
The boys were "suspended" for a short time. There is no legal action against them.
I am disgusted with this boy and his friends. I hate the whole lot and hope to hell that they die looking at their money burning.
Gentle reminder for the day..
Its hard to get a book that flows like a gentle river and does not bore. For someone who is addicted to the pace of thrillers and murder mysteries, to be engaged with a book that does not have the pace of a Ferrari on a race track, is saying something.
The book has characters that are well developed, and you get the sense that you know them well. Asked to do a character sketch, you could easily visualise Mr. JLB Maketoni, Precious and even the young apprentice who has taken to the Lord.
The plot is simple, if one can call it that. It feels a lot like a slice out of a life that is ongoing. The reader is aware at all times that there was an eventful life before this book, and there will be more events in these lives after the book as well. Yet there is a sense of completeness as one turns the last page. More like one has just gotten up from a very long high tea with close friends, than that one has just turned the last page on a book.
Compared to the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, this one was a little short on the details, and there were some loose ends, which is rare for this author. For instance, how come Precious did not check up on the credentials of the rival detective agency? And how did that agency suddenly shut down? We can surmise, of course, but these are loose ends that leave the reader wondering..
Once, there was a scientist. He was brilliant at his work and it kept him very very busy. He was at his work all the time - late nights, weekends, everything. This scientist spent no time with his family at all.
One day, his wife left him. He was very distraught and could not understand why. So he called her, and she told him that she had left him because he never had any time for her and the child, being forever busy with the work.
He was very sad to hear it.
After she left, he realised how hard it was to do the simple things in a house - to keep it clean, to have 3 meals on the table, to just sleep at night - alone. When he had returned from work, he had just assumed that his wife and child would be there, so when he went to sleep, he was not alone in the house. Even if he never spoke to them, he realised now how much their presence meant.
After a few days, he was very sad and lonely. It was impossible to both keep house and maintain his work. So he decided to make amends and called his wife again. He told her that he would change now, spend more time at home. That he had learnt his lesson. Could she and the child please come back?
The wife replied, "It is not what you do, my darling. Over the years, I have realised, this is who you are. It is not something you do deliberately. As a personality, you value your work above all else. If I come back, you will make efforts for a few days, but will eventually go back to being who you really are. No my dear, it is best that you live with that which matters to you - your work." And so saying, she refused to come home.
He was very sad after this talk and just could not concentrate on work. His colleague saw him sad and asked what had happened. He told him everything and then said, "The thing is, my wife is right. I am inherently like that. I do love my work above all else. But I also miss my family a lot. I don't know what to do."
The friend then said, " Let us say that you plant 2 trees at the same time. You have a limited amount of water and manure each day. If you give all of your water and manure to one tree, it will grow big and strong and definitely taller and bigger than all other trees around it planted at the same time. But the other tree will wilt within a short time and die away. Then you cannot bring it back.
If you divide your water and manure among the 2 trees, they will both grow only moderately, you will never touch the heights that you could have touched with either, but they will both be in your garden.
This is a decision that we all have to make. If we pay no attention to the family, we can reach great heights in our careers, because our time and attention is the water and manure that we have every day. If we do work life balance, we must do so with the conscious idea that we will not win Nobel prizes in our profession so easily. But we will have a family to go home to.
Everyday, that water and manure - our time and attention, must be divided between the 2 trees. But most importantly, you must know, that the trees are exactly the way you want them to be. It is, my friend, time for you to make a decision. If you want to rise to great heights in your career, you must abide by the decision of your wife - because she is right. And if you want your family, you must know, right now, that it will be wise to sacrifice some of your ambition. You will see some of your colleagues outshine you. And you must not regret or grudge them their success or ambition, for you have traded happily, the place on the podium for a place by the hearth. It must be a conscious decision - one that you take for yourself, and not one that is taken for you. Your wife has taken a decision once for you. Don't let that happen again. Go home and think. "
With these words, the colleague left the scientist. The scientist came home and thought. All of that night and all of the next day he thought.
That night, he called his wife again. He spoke to her at length, and by next morning, she had come home with the child.
The scientist and his family were happy this time. They lived together for many years. Finally, the son grew up. He studied, and started earning his own living. It was then time for him to get married. He fell in love with a very smart young lady, and announced the decision to his parents. His parents welcomed the idea and the young lady into their home.
That night, the scientist took his son aside, and said, "There is something I must share with you. You do know that there are 2 pots in the garden that I always take care of myself. No matter how large the garden or how small, no gardener is allowed to touch my 2 plants. You have often asked me the secret of my fascination for those 2 plants. I will tell you today. It is not the plants. It is the pots that house those plants.
Many years ago, your mother left me because I had no time for you and her. When I pleaded with her to come back, she reminded me, that I was not busy at work so as to avoid her. This is who I was. And I would do it again. She was right, of course. Your mother always is. So one night, I brought these 2 tiny saplings home. I told her, that I was going to nurture both those plants. Every morning, I would water them the same way that I had divided my time between home and work the previous day. So if I had ignored my family for a day because of an important thing at work, I ignored the family plant entirely the next morning. On a good day, I would come home on time and spend time teaching you, asking her about her day and telling her about mine. On such a day, I would water and nurture both plants equally. On the weekends, I would not work. And then, I would not nurture or weed the work plant either.
In this way, the minute a plant starts to wilt, I will know that that aspect of my life needs attention. If one plant was not flourishing, I would know before any real harm came to my life. Over the years, those plants have been my daily reminders, companions and guides. When you get married, remember to plant such saplings, so that you and your wife always remember that a family needs attention too. That is the secret of my 2 plants, and why I wouldn't let any gardener interfere with those 2 pots."
The son was amazed to hear this. He had never imagined that 2 pots could mean so much to his father. Or to anyone. He had no idea that he really needed to work on being a family. He thought it just happened on its own. Then he reflected upon his own hours at work, and smiled. He was his father's son all right. He was going to need the 2 pots of his own.

Why humans have the temperature they have?
It is obviously very onerous to generate heat at all, although it has advantages. We don't have to lie on the sun like a crocodile to get warmer. And we avoid the freezing of our body water by out own means. But wouldn't just a little of heat be enough?
Why do humans go as far as 37 C? Couldn't we just have a temperature of 10 C to avoid freezing but stay at it?

$\begingroup$ Read this article ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15217694. It says that a lower temperature may have anti-aging effects, but it seems the human body is not 'designed' for other temperature en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… $\endgroup$ – Cornelius May 8 '14 at 11:35
It's simply not possible for humans to live with an absolute body temperature below 20 C for the simple biophysical reason that it would prevent flux of protein through the Golgi and therefore biosynthetic and secretory pathways, as well as endocytosis. The lipid membranes become too "stiff" to correctly function.
My own sense is that the nominal 37 C body temperature is a result of all of the ATP hydrolysis reactions that happen all the time. The chemical reaction is not efficient, and some of that energy is absorbed, heating the tissue.
There are various grades of hypothermia, from mild (33–35 °C) to severe (< 28 °C). Death from hypothermia results only from prolonged exposure, for example, being in ice-cold water results in death after 50-100 minutes. The basic mechanism is that the body dies from a combination of decreased electrical conductance of pacemaker nerves in the heart, and a slowed heart rate incompatible with sustaining life. Ultimately, hypothermic death is a dysregulation of the body's thermoregulatory mechanism, rather than an immediate biochemical problem as I've pointed out above. For a detailed review, there is an open access article detailing hypothermic etiology and pathophysiology.

$\begingroup$ it isn't out of the question for eukarotes to flourish at low temperatures - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrophile , membrane fluidity could be adjusted via the content of unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids.

If I had to guess, the reason human have the body temperature we do is because the ancestors of placental mammals had that body temperature. You will notice that all placental mammals have nearly the same body temperature http://www.infonet-biovision.org/AnimalHealth/Tools-livestock-care-and-treatment
That being said, birds have a higher body temperature than placental mammals http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/030096299190122S
But why the higher body temperature....as you say why not just high enough for muscular activity?
One potential answer is at higher temperature, animals are better able to resist fungal infections for the simple reason that most species of fungus don't grow well at temperature above room temp. Declining by 6% of species for every 1C rise https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/12/101222121610.htm. The optimum as calculated in terms of energy cost to maintain that high body temp vs number of fungal species to fight against was estimated to be 36.7 C, about body temp for mammals, and resting body temp for birds.

Hydroalcoholic extract of turmeric is recommended as supplement to prevent atherosclerosis, but the common dosage form in traditional practices is less practical and unacceptable. It is therefore recommended to be mad into new dosage form, lozenges. This research aims to determine the effect of filler agent manitol-amylum manihot variations to the physical characteristics of granule, tablet, and the flavor of the tablet. The optimum formula was evaluated with simplex lattice design method. The hydro extract of turmeric was made using aquadest 80OC while the alcoholic extract using ethanol 96%. Hydro alcoholic extract was made by mixing both extracts, wet granulated and formulated into five formulas with combination of manitol-amylum manihot ratio. The result showed that the combination of manitol-amylum manihot had affected the tablet hardness, solubility time and flavor acceptance. The formula with the combination manitol-amylum manihot 80% : 20% was found to be the optimum formula.

The Derbyshire Gate Post Mystery Explained?
In the last post I queried the large perforations to be found in the tops of some Derbyshire stone gate posts or stoops. I thought they made handy viewfinders, but could find no other explanation. Then I found some more photos I'd taken at Callow Farm. These are a pair – one with a partial orifice, the other without.
And it's at this point things may become as clear as Derbyshire mud. But I have found an explanation. The only problem is I don't wholly understand it.
It comes from a worthy volume published in 1813 and available for free from Google. (How I hate it that they have laid claim to all the old books in the universe, but how I love being able to access such works without leaving my desk, this despite the fact that much of the scanning is often execrable.)
The book in question is volume 2 of General View of the Agriculture of Derbyshire by John Farey senior, Mineral Surveyor of Upper Crown Street, Westminster. This is what he says. I've increased the font in hopes comprehension might strike:
Anciently, the Gates in the Peak Hundreds were formed and hung without any iron-work, even nails, as I have been told; and some yet remain in Birchover and other places, where no iron-work is used in the hanging: a large mortise-hole is made thro' the hanging-post, perpendicular to the plane of the Gate, at about four feet and a half high, into which a stout piece of wood is firmly wedged, and projects about twelve inches before the Post; and in this piece of wood, two augur holes are made, to receive the two ends of a tough piece of green Ash or Sallow, which loosely embraces the top of the head of the Gate (formed to a round), in the bow so formed : the bottom of the head of the Gate is formed to a blunt point, which works in a hole made in a stone, set fast in the ground, close to the face of the Post. It is easy to see, by the mortise-holes in all old Gate-Stoops, that this mode of hanging Gates was once general.
From this it seems clear that any iron hinges and latches were later additions to such old stoops. John Farey goes on to praise this kind of improvement:
A great contrast to these rude Gates, is exhibited, on the Farm of Mr. Thomas Harvey of Hoon Hay, who has four sets of hooks and catches, all adjustible by nuts and screws, fixed in his Gate-Posts, which are very stout, in the line of a private and bridle Road thro' his Farm ; so that from whichever quarter the wind may come, in blowing weather, the Gates can readily be shifted, so as to be shut too by the wind, instead of being forced open thereby : there is also a screw for adjusting the top thimbles of these Gates, for making them shut more perfectly.
So there we have it – a loopy length of ash or willow used to do the job of a gate, though I still can't quite picture it. But then instead of wondering about that, I found myself distracted by Mr. Farey's genuine enthusiasm for more efficient gatery with all its iron trappings.
In this modern era we all assume a well functioning gate is a good thing – guarding property, keeping out vagrants and cold callers. But this notion of privately controlled land is fairly new. And to my mind it has had every one of us hoodwinked. Simon Fairlie puts it succinctly at the start of his very enlightening essay A Short History of Enclosure in Britain from The Land magazine:
Over the course of a few hundred years, much of Britain's land has been privatized — that is to say taken out of some form of collective ownership and management and handed over to individuals. Currently, in our "property-owning democracy", nearly half the country is owned by 40,000 land millionaires, or 0.06 per cent of the population, while most of the rest of us spend half our working lives paying off the debt on a patch of land barely large enough to accommodate a dwelling and a washing line.
He then explains that from Saxon times, and continuing under Norman rule into the Middle Ages, the Open Field System was the norm. It was also the norm in much of Europe until modern times, wherein each family had its own plot within a communally managed ecosystem.
The notion of one man possessing all rights to one stretch of land would have been unthinkable to British medieval smallholders. The king or lord of the manor owned an estate, but not in the way we understand ownership. The peasant population also had rights and, at specified times of the year, could graze stock, cut wood or peat, draw water or grow crops on various pieces of land, often in a number of different places. English farmers also met twice a year at the manor court where land management issues were discussed, and those taking more than their fair share of communal resources challenged.
The benefit of the Open Field System is explained as follows:
A man may have no more than an acre or two, but he gets the full extent of them laid out in long "lands" for ploughing, with no hedgerows to reduce the effective area, and to occupy him in unprofitable labour. No sort of inclosure of the same size can be conceived which would give him equivalent facilities. Moreover he has his common rights which entitle him to graze his stock all over the 'lands' and these have a value, the equivalent of which in pasture fields would cost far more than he could afford to pay. CS and C S Orwin The Open Fields, Oxford, 1938
A group of peasant farmers could also share equipment such as a good plough and a full team of oxen to haul it, a facility that would benefit them all. One herdsboy could supervise the daily grazing of the community's cattle, taking them out after family milking, bringing back in for evening milking at their individual homesteads, so leaving farmers free to carry out other income producing pursuits. Everyone's sheep could also be driven out to the common moorland to graze, each animal identifiable to their owners by a sheep mark.
Somewhat strangely I have learned that the sheep mark of my Callow Fox ancestors was still in existence in 1930s, when the fiery right-to-roam campaigner G H B Ward, editor of the Sheffield Clarion Ramblers' Handbooks went to interview my great uncle Robert Fox about the history of the Callow Foxes. Ward visited him in his cottage at Foolow and there saw the sheep mark belonging to an earlier Robert Fox (1780-1863), who used it to mark the horns of his sheep communally grazed on the Longshaw pasture. Enclosure took place there during the early 19th century, the Inclosure Act commissioners awarding the Duke of Rutland nearly 2,000 acres. And so the former sheepwalk used by William and Sarah Fox of Callow during the 18th century, and by their son George and grandson Robert into the early 19th century was turned into the headquarters of the largest grouse-shooting estate in the Peak District (David Hey The History of the Peak District Moors).
For nearly a century this former common land was policed by gamekeepers, and the general populace denied age-old rights including access to paths and bridleways. It was only with the mass trespasses of ramblers like G H B Ward during the early 20th century that the countryside began to be opened up once more. One cannot help but cheer when one learns that the decline in Rutland fortunes led to the sale of the estate in 1933. Ramblers and other members of public raised the necessary funds to buy the park and then handed it over to the National Trust. Sheffield Corporation bought the moors, which are now part of the Peak District National Park. Humanity is now free to roam there once more, as we saw on our recent visit – hundreds of families striding out in the fresh upland air.
The fact remains though that Britain's big landowners exploited the Inclosure Acts to enrich themselves by taking for their own use alone (and still hanging on to them) thousands of acres that were once communally used for centuries by their tenants. But I leave the last words on the Commons land rights to Simon Fairlie. At the risk of sounding totally reductionist I contend that this is how we ended up where we are now; the wretched state of the planet; and the current tax-haven millionaires' mortal fear of any notion of communal rights or shared resources. If we continue to let such people control and grow rich on resources which should benefit all – more fool us.
Britain set out, more or less deliberately, to become a highly urbanized economy with a large urban proletariat dispossessed from the countryside, highly concentrated landownership, and farms far larger than any other country in Europe. Enclosure of the commons, more advanced in the UK than anywhere else in Europe, was not the only means of achieving this goal: free trade and the importing of food and fibre from the New World and the colonies played a part, and so did the English preference for primogeniture (bequeathing all your land to your eldest son). But enclosure of common land played a key role in Britain's industrialization, and was consciously seen to do so by its protagonists at the time.

Indian farmers block highway outside Delhi to mark 100th day of protest

Indian farmers began gathering on Saturday to block a six-lane expressway outside New Delhi to mark the 100th day of protests against deregulation of agriculture markets, to add pressure on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
Farmers young and old headed in cars, trucks and tractors to the highway for a five-hour roadblock to oppose three farm laws enacted in September 2020 they say hurt them by opening up the agriculture sector to private players.
Modi has called the laws much-needed reforms for the country's vast and antiquated agriculture sector, and painted the protests as politically motivated.
"The Modi government has turned this protest movement into an ego issue. They are unable to see the pain of the farmers," said Amarjeet Singh, a 68-year-old farmer from Punjab state. "They have left us no option but to protest."
Tens of thousands of farmers from several north Indian states have been camped out on the outskirts of the capital in bitter cold since December demanding that the laws be repealed.
Their movement has gained international attention and support, including from celebrities such as climate activist Greta Thunberg and U.S. singer Rihanna, but several rounds of negotiations between farmer leaders and the government have failed.
Modi's government has lashed out at supporters of the protests and stands accused by rights activists of using heavy-handed tactics to curb the protests.
While the protests have been mostly peaceful, a brief spate of violence on Jan. 26 led to the death of a protestor, and the police have filed criminal charges against eight journalists over alleged misreporting on the events of the day.
"The Indian authorities' response to protests has focused on discrediting peaceful protesters, harassing critics of the government, and prosecuting those reporting on the events," Human Rights Watch said in a statement last month.
As the capital braces for harsh summers and the harvesting season begins, farmers gathering on Saturday said they had no plans to turn back until their demands were met.
"Bitter cold didn't affect our movement, and neither will deathly heat," said Raja Singh, a 58-year-old farmer from Punjab state.

Childe Peter To The Dark Tower Came – The Five Doctors
Posted on November 27, 2008 by Andrew Hickey
John Nathan-Turner, the producer of Doctor Who for most of its last decade, gets a bad rap from much of the fanbase. Sometimes this is deserved – some of the worst episodes of the show ever produced were done on his watch, and often at his instigation.
It is possibly going to appear over the next few days that I am joining in this chorus of disapproval, mostly due to my choices of episodes, so before I do that, I just want to say firstly that for every bad decision Nathan-Turner made he also made a good one; and secondly that Nathan-Turner's Doctor Who is the version of the show I grew up on.
And that means a lot to me. I was a Doctor Who fan of the most obsessive kind before I was in primary school (the obsession dropped down between the ages of 12 and 25 or so, but much of my love for the programme dates from a very young age). I knew Nathan-Turner's name written down before I knew how to pronounce it (I still half-consciously read it as Natthan (with a short a) in my head). Peter Davison and Colin Baker were 'my' Doctors in a way that Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker were to earlier generations. And my love as a child for that show – flawed as some of it undoubtedly was – inspired my passion for reading (give a Target novelisation to a five-year-old who doesn't know he's not meant to be able to read it and you'll be surprised how quickly his vocabulary expands…), fantastic fiction, eccentric characters in the Sherlock Holmes tradition, non-violent solutions to problems, physics, evolutionary biology, linguistics (specifically a bit in the novelisation of State Of Decay where the Doctor explains to Romana about consonantal shift), logic… while I am actually nothing like the Doctor (in real life I am more like the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, but without the social graces and physical attractiveness) , the idealised self-image I have comes from wishing to emulate the Doctor as a child.
So whatever Nathan-Turner's faults as a producer (and how much he can be blamed for the problems the show had during his tenure is definitely open to question) his years on the show did make at least one small child extraordinarily happy, and that's something to keep in mind…
The Five Doctors, the show's twentieth-anniversary special, is the first episode I have a conscious memory of watching when it was broadcast, a little over a month after my fifth birthday (though I'd definitely seen earlier episodes – it's just no others remain in my memory). I remember being absolutely thrilled – Daleks! Cybermen! K-9! The Master! All the old Doctors who I'd only heard about! – and for years later I could remember the black triangle getting the Doctors, and Peter Davison collapsing, and a couple of other moments, even though I didn't have a clue what the plot had been.
That is, of course, because there wasn't one – or at least not one to speak of. While the tenth anniversary show, The Three Doctors, had had a simple brief – do a story with all three Doctors in it – The Five Doctors had to do more – it had to 'celebrate' the show by featuring as many old villains and companions as possible, as well as all five Doctors to date. The need to do this made one scriptwriter, Robert Holmes, quit early in the process – Holmes simply couldn't come up with a coherent story featuring everything that the production team decided was necessary for the show. So Terrance Dicks – another former Who script editor, and at the time a freelance writer who made his living from novelising the TV show (mostly just adding the words 'he said' to the scripts if my memory of his books is correct – he was not someone who was known for labouring over his prose in an effort to turn out an exquisitely memorable phrase if instead he could just type "The Dalek shot the prisoner, who screamed and died") took on the job.
Dicks was actually even more insistent that the production feature *everything* than the production staff themselves were – he had to do a story with Time Lords, the Master and Cybermen because that's what Nathan-Turner and Eric Saward (the script editor) wanted, but he also insisted that it had to feature at least one Dalek (who gets killed in a most perfunctory manner after about ninety seconds of screen time), K-9 (who gets about two lines) and the Yeti (who most people don't even notice).
Dicks was entirely right about this, incidentally, from the point of view of absolutely captivating small children, but it gives the story the same flavour as much of nuWho – a bunch of exciting moments strung together by something pretending to be a plot but without any real coherence.
Of course, it can't have helped that Dicks had to do a story about Five Doctors when he only had three available. The absence of William Hartnell, who had died years earlier, was expected, and they got round it by casting Richard Hurndall to play his part (Hurndall did a passable impersonation of Hartnell, who hadn't been seen on TV for many years, though the effectiveness of it was hampered by a little pre-credit snippet of Hartnell reminding people what he actually looked and sounded like). What hadn't been expected, though, was for Tom Baker to turn the story down (mostly because he'd left the show less than two years earlier, but also because he didn't get on very well at the time with Nathan-Turner). This absence was eventually also covered – by using some footage from the unaired Douglas Adams story Shada (with much better dialogue than the rest of the show) and saying that Baker's Doctor was caught in a time distortion – but it meant that the script needed extensive rewriting.
Parts of the show work extremely well – especially the interplay between Troughton's Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (with Troughton ad-libbing furiously most of the time, coming out with stuff about the Terrible Zodin and beasts that used to hop like kangaroos), and the show comes alive in the last few minutes, when all the Doctors are brought together at last (Nathan-Turner thought there'd be ego problems, and so made sure they only had one day of filming together) – the performers get over a mediocre script and spark wonderfully off each other, in a way that makes you wish just for an hour and a half of Davison, Troughton and Pertwee trapped in the TARDIS rather than this disjointed mess.
Most of the classic Doctors could rise above a bad script with a great performance, and Terrance DIcks was familiar enough with the characters to provide them with opportunities to do that, and the script contains several pretty good lines ("A man is the sum of his memories, you know… a Time Lord even more so") – although several of the best were inserted by the actors. It was great fun for kids at the time, and it has a lot of nostalgia value – I've probably watched it more than any other episode, because if you don't concentrate and just look up for the good bits it can deliver a great rush of childhood affection for the various characters – but it's just a disposable children's romp, not something that should be given a 'twenty-fifth anniversary special edition' DVD release on two discs with two different edits of the show and three different commentaries.

Nothing to disagree with here!
Bearing in mind the earlier thread about An Unearthly Child, it's really too bad the script did so extremely little with Susan. How great would it have been to see Troughton saying "Susan, my dear, how lovely to see you" and then Pertwee cutting in with "Out of the way, scarecrow, she's my granddaughter as well!" And then teaming Davison with Susan for the action, as the First Doctor got paired with Tegan. But yes, that would have raised all sorts of questions about her background and family…bugger. Well, anyway, she deserved a more prominent role than she got.
I acquired a healthy collection of Terrance Dicks paperbacks back in the day, but the real prizes were the Target adaptations written by the screenwriters of the episodes. Warrior's Gate and Mawdryn Undead (for two examples) added a lot of additional depth to stories that were already strong to begin with.
I always thought you were saying continental shift when you talked about that.

That's the most uplifting 'bad review' I've read for a long time. ((HUGS)) A pleasure to read, and hope your migraine's better this morning (I was having an ill night and cheered myself up at one point by reading what you had to say about Timelash, which in the cold light of day seems a stranger thing to do than it did then).
Your third paragraph, particularly, I can empathise with almost every word of, even down to starting reading Who books at five (and wanting to be the Doctor in so many ways). Very cheery on a crappy morning!

Such a powerful, loving voice of the Holy Spirit, ever pleading with us to come to the Savior, Jesus, the Christ.
While teaching a Bible Study class in Acts 26, I was reminded of this song from my childhood. Oh Praise the Lord I was fully persuaded, asked for forgiveness of my sins and have walked many miles with my Savior since.
Almost is dangerous and most of time it leads to the eternal doom, careless soul oh hear the warning! Oh Lord keep us in the right path till You come.
What a glorious hymn. Very persuasive. Oh that every soul would be fully persuaded to follow my Saviour and Bishop of my soul - the Lord Jesus Christ, today. I was born in July 1978 and He has kept me since then. Praise God!
What a wonderful hymn. It brings back memory of my conversion on the 24 August 1958.
the same persuasion with sinners to repent.
Almost persuaded, how many times have I gone through my life and been almost persuaded but praise my Saviour like the one in God's word I can say I am fully persuaded.


Irish potato farmers in Ngororero District in Muhanda Sector used to experience low production of Irish potatoes due to erosion that washes away the soil and fertilizers, but the bad side has turned to the best.
"Before, I use to harvest 3 to 4 tonnes per hectare and now the produce increased to 10 to 12 tonnes per hectare with terracing systems and fertilizers. We had knowledge gap about farming, Hinga Weze gave us agronomists to train us and cultivating on terraces that keep fertilizers in the soil. The rain used to take out all fertilizers that also affected the production," said Enias Hangiyaremye, from Kavumu sector in Tetero cell.
He cultivates Irish potatoes on 2 hectares of land and testifies that the produce has improved in terms of both the quality and quantity only in seven months working with Hinga weze.
"The produce tripled in this season. We hope to increase further in coming days between 15 to 20 tonnes per hectare," he said.
Beatha Nyirandikubwimana, a farmer from Mashya cell in Muhanda sector also benefited from Hinga Weze Agro-inputs of vegetable seeds which has improved nutrition status.
"We appreciate the terraces and how were trained on applying them. we used to lose alomost the entire production of Irish potatoes as erosion used to wash away the soil," she noted.
Daniel Gies, Chief of Party at Hinga Weze said that the new terraces were created to help farmers improve on the production.
"Hinga Weze is working in partnership with many people to create these new terraces upon which they harvest many tonnes of Irish potatoes. This is completely new production of Irish potatoes in this area and they have very good income for the farmers," He said.
He said that farmers got to learn new techniques on how to plant on lines, how to use fertilizers and how to use improved seeds.
"We started these activities here in 2008 by training farmers, terracing and digging started in July and finished in October," Gies said.
In the same line of celebrating Hinga Weze achievements, the delegation of visiting Board of Directors of CNFA that leads a consortium implementing the program also toured a youth cooperation in Ngoma-KODUIBI that is engaged in vegetation farming.
The youth group is receiving support to set up irrigation equipment to improve productivity.
The delegation also made a tour of SPF Ikigega, an Irish Potato aggregator supported by Hinga Weze in Northern Province.
SPF-Ikigega is one of the facilities toured by a visiting Board of Directors of CNFA that leads a consortium implementing Hinga Weze.
USAID/ Feed the Future 5-year program aims to sustainably increase productivity and incomes for 560,000 smallholder farmers and improve nutritional intake for women and children across 10 districts.
They also visited farmers in Ngororero District who are now cultivating Irish potatoes on 4000hectares of terraced land. The scheme is supporting about 380 families.

"Larger than Life" is the ninth episode of the seventh season of the American medical drama House. It aired on January 17, 2011.

Plot

When a musician named Jack (guest star Matthew Lillard) puts his life on the line to save a stranger who fell onto subway tracks, he emerges unscathed, then suddenly collapses, much to his young daughter Daisy's distress. The team works to diagnose his problem as his condition worsens, with only House remaining cynical about his heroism. Masters insists it must be an infection, but House dismisses the idea. Jack, who is away from home most of the time touring with his band, decides to give it up to be with his wife and daughter.

Taub draws unexpected attention when his face graces billboards advertising the hospital. As Taub and his wife reignite a physical relationship, Masters' outside perspective helps him realize that it is time to take drastic action on his crumbling marriage.

Meanwhile, House trades barbs with an abrasive clinic patient, only to realize to his horror that she is Cuddy's mother Arlene (guest star Candice Bergen), come to check out her daughter's boyfriend. He lies in a futile attempt to avoid a dinner with Cuddy, Arlene, and Wilson, even though it is Cuddy's birthday. The dinner is very uncomfortable for all. House's solution is to secretly drug both Arlene and Wilson into unconsciousness. The next day, before he is forced to apologize, Arlene lets slip that she thinks she just drank too much. She tells House that she approves of his relationship with Cuddy. Then, as she is leaving, she remarks that she does not like children because she always catches diseases from them.

House realizes that Daisy has given Jack chicken pox, a very serious disease when first contracted as an adult. When questioned, Jack's wife Eva reveals she has kept her daughter out of school because of an outbreak, but Daisy is still a carrier. Jack turns out to be one of the 5% who do not show the typical symptoms. It is easy enough to cure, once properly diagnosed.

As Jack recovers, he informs Eva (guest star Sprague Grayden) that the band needs him for just a few more performances. In private, Eva tells a puzzled Taub that this is what Jack always does. He has not been changed at all by his experience. Taub goes home and tells his wife that they should get a divorce; he cannot give up his philandering, and it hurts her so much, she has turned to an online relationship for emotional comfort.

Zarif says Iran showing 'maximum restraint,' US escalation 'unacceptable'
Visiting Tokyo, Iranian foreign minister says Tehran still committed to nuclear deal and continues to be in compliance

TOKYO — Iran is showing "maximum restraint" despite the US withdrawal from a nuclear deal, the country's foreign minister said Thursday, accusing Washington of an "unacceptable" escalation in tensions.
"The escalation by the United States is unacceptable," Mohammad Javad Zarif said in Tokyo where he is holding talks with Japanese officials.
"We exercise maximum restraint… in spite of the fact that the United States withdrew from JCPOA last May," he added, referring to the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
He added that Tehran remains "committed" to the deal, and said continuing assessments showed Iran was in compliance with the multilateral agreement.
Earlier this month Iran threatened to enrich its uranium stockpile closer to weapons-grade levels in 60 days if world powers fail to negotiate new terms for the 2015 nuclear deal.
Tensions between the United States and Iran were already high after President Donald Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal a year ago.
But they have been ratcheted up significantly in recent weeks amid increased US pressure over alleged threats from Iran.
Earlier this month, Trump's hawkish National Security Advisor John Bolton announced the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group and a B-52 bomber force to the Gulf.

Days later, the Pentagon added a Patriot missile defense battery and an amphibious assault ship to the deployment.
And on Wednesday the US ordered the partial evacuation of its Baghdad embassy and consulate in Arbil citing specific threats posed by Iraqi militias alleged controlled by Tehran.

Halsey Performs "Without Me" and Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge
American singer-songwriter Halsey appeared on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, where she performed her latest song "Without Me" and cover of Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams".
"Without Me" is the first new song since her 2017 album "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom". She premiered the song on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 Radio show.
The song was written about friends, past relationships and her present relationship.
On the radio program, she explained that it was the first time writing a song as Ashley (her real name) and not as Halsey, and added that here it's not protected by a character like in her previous works.
Also, she stated it's stand-alone record. "I cried the whole time I recorded it. But now I feel proud. And empowered." she said.
"Lucid Dreams" was released by American rapper Juice WRLD back in March. Originally, he shared the song via SoundCloud in 2017.
The track was sampled from "Rise & Fall " by Craig David and "Shape of My Heart" by Sting.
The song reached No.2 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Annual Paris Horseguards show
Vive la République, Vive la France! This expression may sound nationalistic, but it really is not. It is simply the basic motto that every French president uses to close his speeches. The Gardes Républicains, equivalent to the British horse guards, were created the same year as and just after the first French Revolution in 1789 to replace the Gardes du Roi. Their function was and still is to represent and pay respect to the highest positions of the French state. Napoleon I gave them the name of Garde Imperiale, and they have changed names many times during the 19th century, depending on the current government – whether it was a King, an Emperor or a Republic with an elected president.
Today the Garde Républicaine still exists as an elite part of the French army, in charge of protecting the French president and government. Parisians admire their Gardes Républicains as much as their firemen, especially when the guards dress up in their fancy parade uniforms and ride their beautiful thoroughbred horses in the Marais streets. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is a wonderful event.
Once a year, the Gardes Républicains open the doors of their Marais headquarters to the public. Their "quartier" or barracks is close to the former Bastille Castle on boulevard Henri IV, next to the River Seine and métro Saint Paul.
The PARISMARAIS television team was honoured to have the permission to film their magnificent annual horse show that exceptionally took place in their Vincennes headquarters. It included a wonderful military orchestra, splendid in their 1810's imperial uniforms. A fantastic motorcycle show followed. These are the guards who can stop you on the motorway if you drive too fast – remember the speed limit in Paris is only 50 km/h and most of the Marais streets, considered a "quartier tranquille," have a speed limit of only 30km/h when they are not exclusively pedestrian.
They are in charge of all high-security missions as well, to protect not only the government, but also you and I in our daily lives. Knowing that the Gardes Républicains are living in le Marais, ready to jump on their horses, high-speed motorcycles or in their incredibly fast cars to respond to any emergency at any time, makes us feel more secure. If safety is not an issue in most districts of Paris, it is definitely not one in le Marais, where you can walk around safely at any hour of the day or night. It is just one more reason to stay in this area when you are visiting Paris, or, as is our good fortune, to live here all year round.
GUIDED TOURS: Guided tour of the area and the traditions room (museum), which traces the history of the Republican Guard from 1802 to today. No visits on weekends and holidays. Tours for groups by appointment only. Write or call the Public Relations Department.
DEMONSTRATIONS: Special training organizes demonstrations on Thursday afternoons once a month, for groups and by appointment only. For information, please contact the communication service. In addition, some free events are held on special occasions such as Heritage Days.

THE REPUBLICAN GUARD – OFFICIAL PRESENTATION
Heiress to the Municipal Guard created by Bonaparte in 1802, and integrated to National Gendarmerie in 1849, the Republican Guard went through almost two stormy centuries while fully preserving its prestige.
Particularly visible to the Parisians and renowned for its fine look, when staging the State military protocole and the large presidential escort on the Champs Elysees, the Republican Guard devotes most of its resources to security missions however.
Its infantry regiments are tasked to ensure the protection of the high value government premises (Elysee Palace, Hotel of Matignon), both French parliamentary assemblies, the Constitutional Council, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Paris Justice palace. On a daily basis, this mission mobilizes 900 gendarmes, who are provided with a training oriented towards individual subduing and close protection skills. In the event of a specific threat or a state visit, the Guard special weapons and tactics teams and sharp shooters, all qualified by "GIGN" (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group), reinforce the permanent force layout. They also take part in judicial police operations carried out by National Gendarmerie.
The surveillance and intervention mounted platoons of the cavalry regiment develop new knowhows in public security. About thirty Guard horsemen are used everyday in Paris and Ile de France region, whether it be in surveillance patrols or in support of "Gendarmerie Mobile" forces around stadiums. Their tall horses inspire calm and are trained to adapt to the urban hustle and bustle. On occasion, horsemen contribute to maintaining public order in various very busy tourist areas, and take part in the security of major public gatherings or sensitive events, like international summits.
The Republican Guard motorcyclists, some particularly experienced drivers, are in charge of the large presidential escort, see to the Tour de France security since 1953 and provide assistance to road safety daily.
Finally, the Republican Guard holds in its ranks several top level music groups in charge of enhancing the splendour of official ceremonies and of contributing to France influence.
