Bangla is a folk-rock band from Bangladesh. Formed by the popular indie musician Arnob, Bangla mainly blends the traditional Bangladeshi folk genres like Baul, Lalon together with western flavours like jazz, blues, rock etc. The band released its first album Kingkortobbobimurho in 2002. Over the years, the band has emerged as a prominent music group in the country and became one of the most sought after bands, especially among the urban youth listeners.
The formation of the band dates back to the late '90s when Arnob was a student of Visva-Bharati University at Santiniketan. Due to his interest in music, he casually formed a band with his friends in Santineketan in a motive to spread out Bengali folk songs. One day, Anusheh came to visit Shantiniketan, who was a family friend of Arnob. Anusheh, who was well trained on Indian Classical Music, subsequently accepted the invitation of Arnob and became the lead vocalist. On their visit to Lalon's shrine in Kushtia, Arnob and Anusheh met Buno, a close friend of Anusheh and a bassist. The trio performed together at a public concert in Kolkata Book Fair in 1999. Their performance received good feedback from the audience. The same year, Arnob moved to Dhaka. The band was then joined by Kartik, former guitarist of Prachayanat. and Shantanu on drums. Thus they came to be known as the band "Bangla". A year later, Nazrul, also an acquaintance of Anusheh, joined as the Dhol player.

A business, also known as an enterprise, agency or a firm, is an entity involved in the provision of goods and/or services to consumers. Businesses are prevalent in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and provide goods and services to customers in exchange for other goods, services, or money. Businesses may also be social not-for-profit enterprises or state-owned public enterprises targeted for specific social and economic objectives. A business owned by multiple individuals may be formed as an incorporated company or jointly organised as a partnership. Countries have different laws that may ascribe different rights to the various business entities.
Business can refer to a particular organization or to an entire market sector, e.g. "the music business". Compound forms such as agribusiness represent subsets of the word's broader meaning, which encompasses all activity by suppliers of goods and services. The goal is for sales to be more than expenditures resulting in a profit.

WNBPA and Gaming Society Announce New 'Bet On Women' Campaign
By Dominic Massimino 8.2.2021
The WNBA Players Association has partnered with Gaming Society, a platform co-founded by Kevin Garnett that aims to make sports betting more inclusive, in order to boost engagement with the WNBA through sports betting. The partnership also includes WNBA licensing partner OneTeam Partners and KB2 Sports.
The partnership will include an incentive program with existing sportsbooks, brands and leagues to encourage bettors to interact with women's sports, including the WNBA. Sports betting operators to have partnerships with the WNBA include PointsBet, FanDuel, and BetMGM. In July, Bally's signed a 15-year deal with the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury to become the team's exclusive sports betting sponsor.
"'Bet On Women' will tap into the fastest growing category in sports to create a more diverse, multi-faceted and inclusive landscape for sports betting," Jaymee Messler, co-founder of Gaming Society, said in a statement. "We're excited to partner with the WNBPA and explore partnerships with companies and brands that are also committed to inclusion, equity and visibility, recognize the power of women athletes and are making conscious investments in women's sports."

In the summer of 1999, I hatched a huge baby from normal appearing parents - a purely spontaneous random event. This normal looking hatchling measured a staggering 4.5" in total length. This leopard grew to nearly 11" in total length by the age of 10 months and has not changed in size since.
As with any potential new mutation, care has to be made to test breed for several years to make sure that the morph breeds true. I selected five of my best looking female albinos and went about the task of making "hets". To my surprise and delight, the very first hatchling was an albino! This was a great bonus indeed, not only was the giant a male, but it was an albino het, as well, having come from the albino hets in the early phases of my albino project.


Abstract: The silkworm moth escapes from the pupal-protection case by utilizing cocoon-digesting enzymes. The rectal sac was examined in relation to the behaviour of the animal. Pupae and pharate adults were obtained from commercial races and were reared in the laboratory. The ball-shaped rectal sac, easily distinguishable within the abdomen of the silkworm, was found to contain two phased creamy fluid. The occurance and the shape of the organ and the usage of its fluid suggest its role in perforation of the cocoon.

Peter Alexander's Tips for Staying Sane During the 2020 Election
We could all get something out of the NBC journalist's daily routine.
By Peter Alexander
When you're stuck in the White House booth all day analyzing fast-breaking news, eating healthfully is essential, says Peter Alexander.
Nathan Perkel
Peter Alexander's day is nonstop. The NBC News White House correspondent and coanchor of Weekend Today, 43, appears on Today, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, and MSNBC. Which means reporting and analyzing the news on live TV many times a day, starting at 7:00 a.m. Here's how peace, health, and family fit in, too.
5:10 a.m.:
I try to sneak out of bed without waking up my wife and my four-year-old daughter, who has surely crawled in with us in the middle of the night. I check my phone right away, because inevitably something happened overnight that's going to impact coverage.
5:45:
Breakfast is a couple of hard-boiled eggs and fruit and maybe a yogurt; I throw more fruit into my bag before I leave. There are usually cashews or almonds in our White House booth.
Clean up and head out the door; I usually listen to Morning Joe while driving in, and I call in to the newsroom.
Arrive at the White House. There's value to having those snacks I packed: I can be cooped up in our booth for 13 hours. You can't leave the property for fear that there will be breaking news, so the goal with these snacks is to do anything possible to avoid grazing on junk, especially from the White House vending machine that's just around the corner.
Alexander reports in front of the White House West Wing in April of 2019.
MAI/Shutterstock
Call our producers at the Today show in New York, check in with sources, and then hustle out to the White House North Lawn, and the next thing I know . . .
7:00: . . .
I'm reporting live in front of a national audience.
8:00 to 6:00 p.m.:
There's a hurricane of information coming at you all day long. I have six TV monitors in front of me, and I'm making calls to sources and keeping up with tweets by newsmakers. You have to be prepared to walk in front of a camera on a moment's notice and answer questions on any of more than a dozen topics. I just try to focus on what's immediately in front of me. If you think too far in advance, it can be overwhelming. Just being calm in such a relentless work environment can be crucial. My sister, who has a rare disorder called Usher syndrome that's causing her to lose her vision and hearing, has this motto: "Breathe in peace, breathe out fear." I've tried to adopt that.
Report live for Nightly News.
When I get home, I put my phone down and focus on being with my wife, Alison, and our two daughters before bed and, frankly, before I start working on the next day's story. The TV is off, there's often a dance party, and we're just together. It's a head-clearing space, which is hard to find. My job requires being aware of so much at once, but I don't think anybody can survive that way. You have to find space and time for yourself.
My goal is to get to bed as close to then as I can. If I get to bed before 10:00 p.m., which is extremely rare, I definitely feel the difference the next morning.

SMYRNA – Voters decided to keep Mayor Esther Reed and her fellow Town Council incumbents in office Tuesday night, and they'll be joined by Councilwoman-elect Lori North.
Reed claimed nearly 53.74 percent of the vote in defeating Jeff Hollingshead, who had about 46.01 percent.
"The key to winning this election were my family, friends and volunteers who worked hard on this campaign every day," said Reed, who won a four-year term to remain part-time mayor of Smyrna. "I couldn't have done it without them."
Reed had 4,505 votes while Hollingshead had 3,857.
"The town of Smyrna has a bright future, and the council is excited to continue moving forward," Reed said.
The mayor job pays $600 per month, includes an office at city hall and involves presiding over council meetings. The other members of the council each make $400 per month.
Reed hugged many supporters gathered at Smyrna Town Centre, where she gathered with other incumbents, retiring Town Councilman Lance Lee, Town Manager Harry Gill Jr., former Mayor Tony Dover, Town Court Clerk Terry Davenport and many others.
Many at the re-election gathering laughed when Reed said that the campaigning on Facebook about killed her family members, whom she said had to restrain themselves from replying to the opposition.
"So many of you stood up for us, and I want to thank you for that," Reed said. "This is all of our win. Now it's time to put the community back together."
"Over the next four years, we're going to work our tail off" to make Smyrna better, Reed added.
"I couldn't have done this without each one of you," Reed said. "Thank you."
Hollingshead and his supporters remained upbeat despite his loss.
"While we weren't victorious tonight, I could not be more proud of the campaign we have run," Hollingshead said in a statement. "From the very beginning, we made this campaign about the people of Smyrna. We have spent the last year listening to your concerns and focusing on the issues facing our town.
"I want to congratulate Mayor Reed on her victory tonight," Hollingshead added. "While I don't know what the future holds for Smyrna, I do know that we have made a lasting impact on our town. What is most important now is bringing our wonderful community together to make it the best it can be. I want to thank my family, friends, and supporters for their prayers and encouragement."
The seven-member council will continue to include re-elected Vice Mayor Marc Adkins, H.G. Cole and Rick Wise.
Wise had no competition in seeking to complete a two-year term after he had accepted appointment to a council seat last year vacated by Reed when she became mayor. She replaced former Mayor Dover, who resigned after he had taken a full-time position.
Voters leaving the polls expressed support for both the incumbents and the challengers.
"I kind of like the one we've got," Tommy Garrett said after voting at Stewartsboro Elementary School to keep Reed in office. "I know the Hollingsheads. I think they are for themselves, but I would not testify against or for that in court."
He also voted to keep Cole on the Town Council.
"He helped my wife a lot when she was going through that Medicare crap," said Garrett, adding how Cole has contributed to the town in many ways for several years, including being active with Rotary Club. "He seems like a good guy."
Fellow Smyrna resident Amy Harless also voted at the same school to retain Reed as mayor.
"I supported Mary Esther," Harless said. "My husband is a city employee, and I feel she is in the best position to offer the city what they need at this point."
Marvin and Jerrie Chaffin, though, voted for Hollingshead.
"I'm just giving him a chance," Marvin Chaffin said after he and his wife voted at Smyrna Middle School. "He's never done it. He's young."
The Chaffins also voted for new people to join the Town Council: North, Ivan Fleming and Bradley Austin.
"I wanted some new blood in there," Marvin Chaffin said. "I thought getting all new people in there would change it up."
The Chaffins said they wanted new leadership to address the town's Golf Course and Town Centre losing money, as well as improve on the local government's debt.
"How were we so far in debt?" Jerrie Chaffin said. "I don't understand that."
She's also disappointed that the fitness center at the Town Centre closed.
"I think Jeff Hollingshead would do a better job of running it like a business," Jerrie Chaffin added.
Her husband questions why the Town Centre increased its lunch price by so much.
"It went from $8 to $12," he said. "That's a big increase for a working man."

Sunpak 422D flash has safe voltage to be used with my Pentax K20D. When I check with the safe voltage page in Bozilla, I see reported voltage of 6 volts and 5.5 volts for the model. This Sunpak flash also goes by the model of Sunpak 30X. It is inexpensive to get in ebay in the 10's or 20's when bought used. It is quite effective when I tried it together with an inexpensive lens with Pentax F 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5.
The lens is slower in speed and hence I test the flash on the lens. Results are quire pleasing. While the flash is not PTTL, I find the settings very intuitive and it is easy to find the three f/apertures to work in f/2.0, f/4.0 and f/8.0 to cover different range of focal length. The best about this flash is the ability to control the strength in full power, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16.
I will investigate what pc sync cord and gadgets to get in order to use this as a slave flash with Pentax AF 540. It is similar in weight to the Pentax flash and I find the simple menu to be less intimidating to use without frequent references to the user menu. The other flash that look just as promising to try out is the Pentax AF280T which is smaller in size and I think the Pentax alternative is more capable with support for TTL with older Pentax bodies.
With kid's constant moving in indoor, it is difficult to take a portrait with any lens in dim lighting and I have resolved to using flash to get the sharpness with faster shutter speed.
This is the BEST flash, and it has a great dedicated reflector. I could never understand the fascination with the 283 - this covers a 28mm angle (283 only does 35mm), tilts and swivels, has better controls, is smaller - I still use them and have for 20 years. Thansk!
Scott, thanks for the visit and comments. I have friend from PentaxForums who also highly recommend this flash as the lesser known but a good and dependable favorite.
I've had a "30 Dx" and a "DX 8R" for a few years, the 30 had a weird Nikon F3 mount, and the ring flash had a normal Nikon mount. I bought each for next to nothing from different thrift shops. Of the two, I've only used the ring flash once, and that was over a year ago. I was thinking of getting rid of the 30DX, but now I'm happy I have them both because I I realized I can use them with a Pentax DSLR I bought recently (my first DSLR). I couldn't use either with the Sony F828 I was using before. Not that it will help much, but I've ordered the Pentax mount; until recently I wasn't thinking about you could change the mount.

Chinese Consortium Gets 40 percent Shares in Pakistan Stock Exchange
by PABA
A Chinese Consortium signed the Sale and Purchase Agreement to acquire 40 percent share of Pakistan Stock Exchange, a deal that is seen to further boost the stock market that is among the top gainers in the world in recent years.
The agreement was signed in Karachi between the PSX officials and the consortium comprising Chinese Finance Futures Exchange Company Ltd, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and Pakistan-China Investment Company and Habib Hank Ltd, the local partners.
The shares valued at $85 million were awarded to the consortium which was the highest bidder among the 17 groups that contested for the strategic equity shares in Pakistan's stock market.
"This is the beginning of a new era," China's Ambassador to Pakistan Zhao Lijian said at the signing ceremony held in the port city of Karachi, the country's commercial capital and home to the stock market.
According to the deal, the three Chinese Companies will jointly hold30 percent of the shares, while their Pakistani partners will share 5 percent each.
Pakistan Stock Exchange was established in January, 2016 after the merger of the country's three main stock exchanges – Karachi Stock Exchange, Islamabad Stock Exchange and Lahore Stock Exchange.
Besides, the Chinese consortium, several international companies and groups had shown interests in acquiring stakes in PSX. According to media reports, the PSX plans to introduce infrastructure bonds, mostly to be used in the ongoing $46 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.

Hammerson announces stake sale in VIA Outlets and rights issue to raise £825m
Batavia Stad Amsterdam Fashion Outlet Image: Courtesy of Hammerson
UK listed real estate company Hammerson announced a proposed rights issue to raise gross proceeds of approximately £552 million (Rights Issue) and the sale of substantially all of its 50% interest in VIA Outlets to a mutual fund managed by APG Asset Management N.V. (APG) for €301 million (equivalent to approximately £274 million), to raise a combined total gross proceeds of approximately £825 million.
"The Disposal represents a strategic opportunity for the Group to realise cash from the sale of its interest in VIA in challenging markets and in conjunction with APG's support for the Rights Issue," said Hammerson in a statement.
VIA operates eleven premium outlets in nine European countries providing over 267,000 m2 of floor space and over 1,130 stores. VIA is one of the leading premium outlet operators in Europe, with the third largest portfolio by area. As of 30 June 2020, the market value of the VIA portfolio was approximately £1.4 billion.

With the sale of the stake in VIA Outlets and the rights issue, Hammerson expects to strengthen its capital structure and thereby gain a better starting position to execute on the refined strategy.
Robert-Jan Foortse, Head of European Property Investments at APG:
'The international retail sector has been under pressure for some time due to structural changes in the sector that are now also exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis. This also had an impact on Hammerson's portfolio and valuation. We support Hammerson's financial and strategic measures as announced today and therefore we have decided to support Hammerson in a holistic package of a pro-rata participation in the Hammerson rights issue in combination with the acquisition by APG of substantially all of the stake Hammerson owns in VIA Outlets. With the latter transaction we move towards full ownership of VIA Outlets. We believe that Premium Outlets in strategic locations are increasingly popular with modern consumers. They are an important part of the omni-channel distribution strategy of leading brands. Premium Outlets constitute a material part of our European real estate portfolio.'

After spending months in preparation for and anticipation of a "blue wave," the 2018 midterm elections proved to be favorable for nearly all Democrats running in the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area. A heavily Democratic area, Montgomery County has just under 60% of voters registered as Democrats.
In the 8th district Congressional race, incumbent Jamie Raskin handily defeated Republican John Walsh, who was given a less than .1% chance of winning according to a forecast from FiveThirtyEight. This gives Raskin, who was a speaker on political compromise at the student-led Doomocracy conference at B-CC, a second term in the House of Representatives. In a tweet celebrating his victory, he promised to "keep working 8 days a week" for his 8th district constituents. Senator Ben Cardin was elected to his third six-year term in the Senate, as his Republican opponent Tony Campbell gave him no trouble. Maryland has not sent a Republican Senator to the Capitol since 1987, and Cardin's 33 point victory continued that trend.
The race for Montgomery County Executive was predicted to be more contentious, with longtime County Councilmember Nancy Floreen entering the race after the primaries as an independent. Throughout the race, Floreen had attacked Elrich as too far to the left to represent the County. Elrich, who won the race with 64% of the vote, had gone after Floreen for funding her campaign through large donations from real estate developers. Robin Ficker, the Republican in the race, came in third, a few percent behind Floreen.
The sole Republican who won statewide office in this election was Governor Larry Hogan, who was re-elected without much trouble. Despite the heavily Democratic tilt of the state's electorate as a whole, Hogan was able to secure 56% of the vote. His opponent Ben Jealous, the former president of the NAACP, struggled to connect with voters, becoming the second straight Democratic gubernatorial candidate to fall to Hogan.
Democrats swept the two other state-wide posts up for election in 2018, with state Attorney General Brian Frosh and Comptroller Peter Franchot both winning their campaigns for re-election.
Two amendments to the state Constitution were also on the ballot. The first was a proposal to dedicate commercial gaming revenues that were for state education as a supplement for existing education funding for public schools. The other ballot issue was a question as to whether or not the state should allow same-day voter registration. Both passed, with 87% and 67%, respectively.
Montgomery County also had a trio of ballot questions for voters to approve. The first one, which received 83% approval, is set to reduce the influence of party central committees in choosing members of the Redistricting Commission every 10 years. Maryland is one of the most heavily gerrymandered states in the country, so this reduction in partisan influence may play a role in changing this.
The second county ballot proposal would require an affirmative vote by every County Council member to approve a property tax increase. The last proposal would allow Council members to have multiple non-merit aides. These too passed with little trouble.
Nationally, Democrats were successful in retaking the House of Representatives, giving them control of the chamber for the first time since the 2010 midterms. Republicans, helped by the number of incumbent Democrats running in states that President Trump won in 2016, were able to retain control of the Senate. Turnout numbers for both parties were significantly elevated, surpassing levels reached in the past several midterms.

Q: How do I convert this bit of C++ code to C#? Trying to convert some code, but for all my googling I can't figure out how to convert this bit.
    float fR = fHatRandom(fRadius);
    float fQ = fLineRandom(fAngularSpread ) * (rand()&1 ? 1.0 : -1.0);
    float fK = 1;

This bit
(rand()&1 ? 1.0 : -1.0);

I can't figure out.

A: It's 1 or -1 with 50/50 chance.
An equivalent C# code would be:
((new Random().Next(0, 2)) == 0) ? 1.0 : -1.0;

Next(0,2) will return either 0 or 1.
If the code gets called a lot you should store the instance of Random and re-use it. When you create a new instance of Random it gets initialized with a seed that determines the sequence of pseudo-random numbers. In order to have better "randomness" you shouldn't re-initialize the random sequence often.

A: You may use
Random rnd = new Random();
(rnd.NextInt(2) * 2 -1); // 1 or -1

A: The C++ sample generates a random number, uses its lowest bit and throws away the rest.  The lowest bit is then used to pick either -1 or 1.
In C#, the equivalent is as follows.
new Random().Next(0, 2) * 2 - 1

Important: If you do this in a loop, store the instance of Random somewhere and only call Next in the loop, not the constructor again.  This is not only a performance optimization.  You would otherwise see sequences of identical bits of duration of approximately 100 ms, so calls to the parameterless constructor of Random should be few and far between, ideally one per your app's startup.

A: Either 1.0 or -1.0 with equal chance of either one
rand() generates a number witch is anded with 0x01 i.e. the first bit and depending on if you get a bit or not you get 1.0 or -1.0

A: You can just randomize with 50% chance, as others said.
If you want an exact translation, it would be:
((new Random().Next() & 1 > 0) ? 1.0 : -1.0)

You have to make a boolean out of the first part of conditional expression.

Brikk is actually launching 30 different versions of their Apple Watch, under the Lux Watch branding. Pricing for the smartwatches range from "just" $7,495 for the Standard version to the previously mentioned $69,995 for the Lux Watch Omni. Apple has not offered much info on the way of Apple Watch pricing, other than stating the entry-level Sport edition will cost $349. There is some speculation that Apple could price the higher end gold edition at $10,000 or more.
The Lux Watch is built in both 38mm and 42mm sizes and is available in 24-carat yellow gold, 18-carat pink gold, and 950 platinum. Customers have the ability to select from three different versions: The Standard, The Deluxe, and The Omni. The Lux Watch Standard offers a single row of diamonds totaling .50 carats around the face, and comes with a leather strap. The Lux Watch Deluxe has 2.3 carats of diamonds in multiple rows around the face, diamond encrusted buttons, and a leather strap with diamond studded clasp. For the ultimate in exclusivity, the Lux Watch Omni has a fully diamond-wrapped case and band of over 12 carats of diamonds.
The Lux Watch line stands out thanks to its meticulous production processes. Each piece is disassembled inside Brikk's state-of-the-art laboratory in Los Angeles by a team of skilled engineers. They are hand polished, then plated with five layers of diverse metals before their final plating in either two layers of gold or platinum. High quality diamonds (color D, clarity VVS1) are set with a microscope in a custom-machined bezel. Each piece is then reassembled and tested before shipping to clients.
Each Lux Watch will be shipped in a "Zero Halliburton aluminum case with carbon fiber interior" which also contains a user manual and a (we are not kidding) "diamond-embedded certificate of authenticity". Pre-orders are currently being taken for these high-end versions of the Apple Watch and they will ship about 4 to 6 weeks after Apple begins shipping their smartwatch sometime in April.

Jana Aranya is a representative Satyajit Ray film in that it features an acutely observed, personality-driven narrative and characters who are well-defined products of their surroundings. At the same time, its concerns are distinctly political, as it offers stinging commentary on the economic plight of contemporary India and the manner in which the individual is destined to be crushed and devoured by a callous material environment.
At its core, Jana Aranya is a story of tainted innocence. Its hero is an unsophisticated young man who is surrounded by depravity. None of the rogues in his midst are blatantly evil. Rather, their villainy is subtle, and they justify their unsavory ethics in the name of rat-race survival.
Somnath Banerjee is a sweetly handsome young man. At the outset, he is about to graduate from Calcutta University when he is victimized by a myopic instructor who cannot read his exam answers, depriving him of a graduation with honors. And so Ray starts out by offering a biting satire of a ludicrous educational bureaucracy. Yet all of Somnath's experiences while a student, and all of his book learning, have left him ill-prepared for the cruel realities he will face while attempting to enter the job market. Harsh fact first intrudes when he is told, "You're so young. It'll be ages before you're established." These words are prophetic. Long months pass, and Somnath is unable to secure employment. At this point, he can compromise his ideals by marrying a young woman he has never met, enabling him to take over her father's business. But Somnath refuses. Instead, he agrees to go into "business" with an acquaintance. He remains trusting, even upon being told that the young man he is replacing has been missing for two months.
Somnath's job is to act as a middleman, a go-between. He will be "ordering supplies" and, as such, he is to "study the market" and "buy cheap." "What do I sell?" he asks. "Anything," is the response. He remains oblivious to the implications of his being instructed to set up bogus companies, and flash different business cards to different clients. "You'll be fine on your own," the contact tells Somnath. "In two days you'll learn everything, and if you get into trouble . . . of course you'll have to clean up your own mess."
Somnath's "business" results in his inevitable mixing with an assortment of wizened, corrupt characters. His maturation process climaxes when he is called upon to act as a pimp in a business transaction, a job requirement he finds reprehensible. Furthermore, the prostitute in question is a friend's sister, who is attempting to support her family. Somnath's integrity is irrevocably tainted when his sense of self-preservation obliterates his morality, and he agrees to go along with the scheme. In so doing, he now is trafficking in human beings as well as goods. He has become just as much of a whore as the sister.
All Somnath wants is an honest job, a not-unreasonable request in a fair and equitable world. However, within the parameters of society, the young man—in order to insure his own survival—does not have the luxury of spurning those who would taint him. "Was anyone ever rewarded for saintliness?" asks one of Somnath's contacts, a "public relations" expert. "Name a single person—no matter how high up— whose reputation is spotless." Jana Aranya is neither the first nor the last film to offer a morality tale in which individuals, in order to guarantee their survival, immerse themselves in mire. What makes it a product of a specific time and place are the economic and political conditions existing in India. "I felt corruption, rampant corruption all around, and I didn't think there was a solution," Ray declared, in reference to why he chose to make Jana Aranya. "I was only waiting, perhaps subconsciously, for a story that would give me an opportunity to show this."
In Jana Aranya , Ray also explores a theme that is a constant in his work: familial relations, and the psychology that exists between parent and child. Somnath's obstacles are not all job-related, in that he is influenced by his widowed father's high expectations for him. The old man, lacking in understanding of the manner of the modern world, accordingly is alienated from Somnath.
In his earliest films, the ones that cemented his reputation, Ray offered revealing, humanist portraits of the inner lives of his characters. By the time he made Jana Aranya , he had expanded his cinematic concerns; his films had become more overtly social and political—and the scenario of Jana Aranya is uncompromising as it spotlights the economic dilemmas confronting contemporary India. Its narrative is uncomplicated; primarily, it is a portrait of a young man and the manner in which he is stripped of his impeccability. The film is at its most astute when Ray offers up knowing vignettes featuring the subtly and not-so-subtly repulsive characters with whom Somnath deals. On strictly visual terms, the filmmaker cleverly lampoons bureaucratic inanity. Repeated shots of young men posting job application letters convey the mind-boggling competition Somnath will face as he sets out to secure a job. He also is seen waiting on countless lines, typing and attaching photos to endless job applications, and being asked ludicrous, rapid-fire questions by job interviewers.
In these sequences, Jana Aranya is amusing. Yet it primarily is a serious and sobering film, an unsentimental account of the battle between maintaining one's scruples and doing what one must in order to survive.

Open-S: The Open Standard for Fully Automatic Quick Couplers
Launched on October 1, 2020, Open-S has been developed to be a standard for fully automatic quick couplers for excavators. Machine operators can combine machine couplers, tiltrotators, and tools from different manufacturers that are in compliance with the standard and be confident that they will be compatible with each other. Products that comply with the standard are marked "Open-S."
"Open standards make everyday life easier, whether it's plugs for electrical sockets, computer connectors or excavator quick couplers," says Stefan Stockhaus, CEO of Steelwrist AB which developed the standard jointly with Rototilt Group. "Open-S also builds on the independent and established standard that already exists for quick couplers, the 'S Standard.'"
Adds Rototilt CEO Anders Jonsson, "We believe in healthy competition, where the industry's players compete to have the best products. We don't want to lock customers into a closed interface. When customers buy a tiltrotator from Rototilt, they should feel confident that any hydraulic tool that complies with the Open-S standard will fit the tiltrotator."
The standard is based on giving freedom for end users to choose the preferred equipment with reliable safety solutions and to benefit from continued technological development.
"Because we have agreed on how to connect the products, customers can freely choose from the product portfolio from the manufacturers that comply with the standard," says Jonsson. "It becomes clearer what fits together and which warranty provisions apply."
Both Steelwrist and Rototilt are seeing that more customers are adopting this type of solution, with the Open-S standard making it easier for contractors to take the first step towards a fully automatic quick coupler system. Open-S is owned and managed by an independent organization, Open-S Alliance, which in turn is led by a council of engineers from tiltrotator manufacturers Steelwrist and Rototilt. More members to the Alliance are welcome.
"Interchangeability is the point," says Stockhaus. "Any reputable manufacturer that believes in the usefulness of a common standard is welcome. We are already in talks with more manufacturers who want to join in the Open-S standard."

Chicken is a wonderful source of protein. It's versatile and often loved by eaters of all ages. By itself, chicken is way too lean to be keto, but with added fat and some vegetables you're able to make fantastic ketogenic meals.
When you buy chicken, it's often a better deal to buy a whole chicken and divide it into pieces yourself. Chicken breast is usually the most expensive part and also the leanest. We suggest leaving it in the store and opt for thighs, with or without the bone in, instead. They often come cheaper, have more natural fat and therefore more flavor. If you can get pieces with the skin on, it's even better! You'll find more tips on how to cook chicken below.
Here's our low-carb and keto selection of chicken recipes, there are casseroles, crispy alternatives and juicy wings.
What's your favorite chicken recipe? Please let us know in the comments below.
Juicy and flavorful. No wonder these are many people's favorite parts. Don't forget the napkins!
Creamy and delicious. These recipes are simple to make, family-friendly and can feed a crowd. Any night of the week!
When cooking poultry you need to make sure that the meat is fully cooked or you risk getting sick. To be on the safe side, it's wise to use a cooking thermometer. When cooking chicken breast, you place the thermometer in the middle of the thickest part. When the temperature reaches 162°F (72°C), it's ready.
When cooking a whole bird it's usually best to place the tip of the thermometer right next to the bone in the thigh. Make sure it reaches 180°F (82°C) before serving it.
Like any other meat, poultry benefits from resting for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Like a warm hug for those chilly evenings. Or if you're looking for something simple yet satiating to bring to work, these options are perfect. Easy to reheat, so you can focus on enjoying a warm meal whenever you need it.
This is the perfect use for chicken leftovers. Pair them with some fresh leafy greens and a good dip or dressing and lunch is served.
ii have seen where it says in one of the videos eating the skin is ok!
I've just started this diet but I'm so used to eating low fat stuff on diets that I'm worried I'm going to put weight on lol. The food is lovely on this site I hope I lose weight.
Can I mix meals like what I cook for dinner can I take it to work for lunch the next day so what I have in the evening I can have at lunch time too?
Can I mix dinner and lunch? Like what I cook in the evening can I take it too work for my lunch the next day too? So I would be having the same food?
Yes, definitely! Having leftovers for lunch is an excellent way to help reduce time in the kitchen.
I've lost just over one kilo it's my first week. It's not much is it?
That sounds like great progress!
Why am I getting dizzy spells very often?
Hi Sara, do you do any kind of exercise with it?
Sara, congrats! Stay on course! The wife and I have been following our own makeshift ketogenic diet (using recipes from some online sources and some books) and in our first month we've both lost over 25 lbs! I've never had more energy and I've never felt more refreshed with my eating! Enjoy!
Have been on for 8 weeks have lost 31lbs. have loads of energy. I am 67years old getting ready to retire. good luck to all who are doing this life change, have faith and stick with it.
In regards to the chicken Caesar salad, can you just buy Caesar dressing rather than making it?
Unfortunately most commercial dressing options are made with canola and/or soybean oil which can be inflammatory and we recommend avoiding them.
I'm considering this diet and even thinking about start swimming again.
My work colleague has lost 3st in weight and he never exercises.
Hi I'm considering beginning this diet as I've tried and reverted back on other diets previously, but am wondering if it is suitable for the whole family? I couldn't spend all that time making meals for just myself and then have to spend more time cooking for my kids - is it ok to cut out a lot of carbs from young kids diets?
You may find this article helpful.
Hi I have lost 7 pounds in 3 weeks - yahoo!!! I'm finishing my 4th week and get weighed tomorrow. My question is about constipation. I have had some issues the last week. Any suggestions? I absolutely love Diet Doctor and the keto diet. I'm also going on vacation to Switzerland for 2 weeks so I am a little nervous of my eating while on vacation. Any helpful hints to help when traveling would be greatly appreciated.
Congratulations on your excellent start!
No one is sharing the quantity of food, I did a Keto scale and it said I shouldn't eat more than 13 grams of carbs and not more than 1103 of calories, if I wanted to lose weight. I've done the south beach diet and had great success, but I'm older now and I'm on thyroid medication and it's been extremely difficult to lose the weight. So my son sent this to me he lost over 30 lbs and looks great, and I'm going to do this I have a food scale and I'll weigh my food portions. I also walk 2 miles a day on a 6 1/2 incline at 2.5-2.8 on my treadmill. Not eating sugar and carbs is easy for me, is there a certain way to eat these foods in order to lose the weight?

Bloated battery after the phone dropped
Today I recieved a Samsung Glaxy s7 with a swollen/bloated battery. He said it happend after he dropped the phone. They tried to put a new battery in, but the phone still didn't powered on. Do you guys have any solutions?
Seji the veggie @skimmilk05
Rep: 1.7k
Question, statement and (hopefully) a solution:
Question: Who is "they?"
Statement: The most likely reason for bad batteries is because a small piece of foil ruptures with shock and causes the two electrodes of the battery to touch, overheat, and create problems (i.e. exploding).
Solution: Unless you're really comfortable working with at-risk lithium batteries, I wouldn't work with it, and would carefully dispose of the battery properly. If the battery bends a fraction of a millimeter too much, you could rupture that same small piece of foil and start a chemical fire or explosion. This problem was only intensified with the S7 Edge as that foil simply failed too easily. You can get a new battery from a reputable brand like iFixit and use their replacement guides. You may need to also replace the screen adhesive.
Galaxy S7 Replacement Battery
They = another repair guy. He said that they tried a new battery but it didn't worked. However I don't even believe they even tried to remove the battery.
10/24/2016 by Stijn Helmonds
Also screen adhesive? The phone it's back is opened I will add some pictures
This is what the phone looks like atm
Do you think it's too dangerous to replace the battery @skimmilk05 ?
Again, if you feel comfortable doing it, and think you can do it SAFELY, then it's your choice, but I can't gauge your abilities or comfort level dealing with these things. Personally, I'd go for it in a safe environment (i.e. outside with a fire extinguisher) if it were my phone, otherwise I'd go to Samsung (say if it were someone elses). I'm not too comfortable with damaged batteries.
10/24/2016 by Seji the veggie
I tell you the whole story I know right now. He bought the phone, he dropped the phone. Someone else repaired it, battery was swolen. Went to another store, phone didn't turned one anymore/didn't charged anymore. I think it also could be the charging port
It also went to Samsung they refused to repair it, rediculous isn't it?
Stijn Helmonds will be eternally grateful.


Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Cupid is associated with Greek and Roman lore. Cupid or Eros as he is called in Greek lore is a mischievous god who is depicted as a diaper wearing baby carrying a bow and arrow which he shoots people causing them to fall in love. Funny because every time I hear mischievous god I think of Loki and I sure don't see him wearing a diaper!
Cupid was initially depicted as a young man with a bow but sometime around the renaissance artists wanted to find the purest way to depict love and so Raphael the artist painted little babies with wings called "Putti". Soon afterwards Cupid began to take on the look of Putti.
Since Cupid is associated with attraction and love he became the face of Valentine's day. So who is Cupid?
According to Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, the Roman goddess of love and the god Mars, the Roman god of war.
While Cupid might be depicted as a chubby cute little boy with a little mischief, there are accounts showing Cupid as a malevolent or even demonic god who took pleasure in causing havoc among people by stirring unwanted desires (must come from his father's side!). Cupid was said to have shot arrows at random persons just for fun or obliging the whims of a random god.
You'd think being a god of love would make your love life easier but instead it turns it into an episode of Day of Gods Lives.
So what happened in Cupid's love story? Well, turns out Venus was jealous of the beautiful Psyche and ordered Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with something hideous. When Cupid goes to shoot the arrow at Psyche he accidentally cuts himself with it and falls deeply in love with her. So he lurks in the distance and watches her. Yup, Cupid was a stalker!
In the meantime, since Psyche didn't find any human to love, her parents thought they pissed off the Gods somehow. I guess you have to make the Gods happy to find true love! So the father consults Apollo's oracle who tells him she won't marry a human but instead will marry a dragonlike creature that everyone fears including the inhabitants of hell. Honestly, I'd think I'd choose the dragon, especially if he was a shifter! So the father and family take Psyche, dress her in funeral attire and have a funeral/marriage ceremony on top of a mountain where the wind carries her to a meadow where she falls asleep. When she wakes up she is in a place that looks like paradise. She finds an enormous mansion, lavish garden and beautiful animals. Cupid calls out to her from the mansion and coaxes her into the bedroom where it is dark to 'make her his wife'. She apparently never sees what he looks like but I'm surprised she doesn't feel the wings on his back. That would have given away his identity!
So then her sisters come over- cue soap opera music! They see the luxury she's living in and are envious of her. Of course they couldn't leave her alone to be happy so they tell her the oracle foretold that her husband would be a winged demon that everyone despises. They convince her she couldn't stay married to a demon like that and must kill him. Taking her jealous sisters' advice she lights a lamp after Cupid falls asleep that night and is ready to stab him but is shocked by how handsome he is. She trips and cuts herself on one of his arrows which fuels her desire for him even more. In the process she spills the oil from the lamp on him which awakens him. Scared that she would think he's a monster he flies far away from her.
Since Psyche knows that Venus is Cupid's mother she comes to her hoping she knows where Cupid is hiding. Venus is, of course, the worst mother-in-law ever and has Psyche do a bunch of 'trials' which is just a nice way of saying 'torturous tasks'. Fortunately, other beings feel bad for her and help her out. In the end, she passes through the trials but falls into a deep sleep after she looks into a box that holds the key to beauty. Cupid finally finds her but is unable to wake her. He goes to Jupiter who strikes a deal with him and he gives Psyche a potion to wake her and give her immortality. Finally, both Psyche and Cupid have their happy every after.
After reading the tale of Cupid's love life I tend to wonder if he really should be the poster child of love and Valentine's Day. Would you want to be hit with an arrow from a god who's love life is more messed up than Erica Kanes?

LaCie 2big USB 3
By Darien Graham-Smith on Nov 3, 2010 12:53PM
LaCie's 2big standalone RAID drive is a striking design by Neil Poulton, a chunky aluminium enclosure with a deep blue orb at the front that pulses to show power and activity. The technology inside may not be quite as futuristic as the casing, but it's bang up to date, with a USB 3 interface that won't bottleneck performance — and a bundled PCI-E x1 USB 3 controller card to ensure you can make use of it.
As the name suggests, the 2big is a two-drive device. It comes populated with a pair of low-power 1TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B drives, drawing a total of 13W idle and 18W peak — spinning down to less than a watt when disconnected or idle for more than half an hour. There's also a 2 x 2TB drive option for £357 exc VAT, and you can swap in new drives by simply sliding the trays out from the back of the device and transferring the screwed mountings. Frustratingly, though, you can't buy a bare 2big enclosure, so this is useful only for upgrades and replacements of faulty disks.
With only two drives, you'll have to choose either RAID 0 striping or RAID 1 mirroring (you'd need more drives to combine the approaches), but that still gives you a choice of priorities. There's also a JBOD mode that presents each physical disk as a separate volume, allowing you to use the full capacity of both drives without the risk of data loss associated with striping. Building an array is as simple as flicking a switch at the rear of the 2big and pressing a button. Both controls are well recessed, so there's no danger of hitting either by accident.
For maximum performance, RAID 0 is the way to go. In our regular file copy tests over a USB 3 connection, the 2big achieved RAID 0 read and write speeds of 141MB/sec and 112MB/sec respectively. That's faster than any one-disk device we've seen, but it's not as fast as you might hope: the A-Listed Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk scored 110MB/sec and 89MB/sec in the same tests, and costs half as much. Switching to JBOD or RAID mode saw results fall to around 103MB/sec in both directions.
And in our small file test, striping was no help at all: in all three RAID modes the 2big gave identical read and write results of 68MB/sec and 35MB/sec respectively. So if you're looking for a high-speed storage device, the 2big is liable to disappoint. Yes, it's faster than a conventional drive, but not by enough to justify the price.
If, on the other hand, your chief concern is data security, the 2big could be an attractive bet. In RAID 1 mode it'll detect a drive failure and drop the offending drive, showing an error condition by switching its blue orb indicator to a deep red. It'll then continue to work in single drive mode until you can replace the duff volume, at which point the array is automatically rebuilt. You couldn't ask for a simpler data redundancy system, and the hardware's covered by a generous three-year warranty.
You pay for that, though. Compare, for example, the Icy Box USB 3 RAID enclosure, which can be had for $119 from PC Case Gear. It's not as sturdy or attractive as LaCie's model, and you don't have the peace of mind of dealing with a single provider; but throw in two Deskstar 1TB drives ($69 each) and a USB 3 card ($49) and the whole package is still one hundred dollars cheaper than the LaCie.
The 2big USB 3 therefore has limited appeal: in terms of performance, it's a high price for an underwhelming gain. But if you're a professional who's willing to pay for a sturdy, one-piece RAID 1 solution, it ticks the boxes with sci-fi style.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I've been featuring Irish recipes and ingredients for a week now, but it is time to move along. Tucked between the hoopla that surrounds St. Patrick's Day and Easter Sunday is the feast of St. Joseph, a holiday of special importance to the people of Italy. I've told the full story of St Joseph before, but for those of you who are too busy to backtrack, I wanted to include a brief summary of it here. The gentle Joseph was the stepfather of Jesus. He is said to have spent time in Italy and was considered to be the patron saint of Sicily. During a period of devastating drought, the Sicilian people prayed to him for rain that was necessary to prevent a full-scale famine. When rain came, the people decorated altars and prepared a feast in his honor and welcomed all to the banquet table they had prepared. That table became known as St.Joseph's table and the food on it was meant for distribution to the poor. Three foods became associated with his holiday. The first is the fava bean, which survived the drought and kept the people alive. The second is a pasta tossed with bread crumbs instead of cheese, that you can find here, and the third is a Neopolitan pastry, called a zeppole, which you can find here. I have two other recipes to share with you today. They are not associated with St. Joseph's Day but they are very Italian and I though this would be a great day to share them with you. The first is a simple Italian cookie that is made with pine nuts. It is not the traditional almond and pine nut cookie that I'm sure you are already familiar with. This recipe was developed by Giada De Laurentis and it is flavored with ground fennel seeds instead of almond paste. This cookie is easy to make and is far less expensive to prepare than the classic Pignoli. It is wonderful to serve after dinner with espresso or a glass of sweet wine and I know you will enjoy it. The second recipe is for a creamy soup that is made with fava beans and fennel. It is delicious and if you have time to make it, I know you will love it as well. Without further ado, here are today's recipes.
1) Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, vanilla, fennel seed, and salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour and mix just until blended.
2) Transfer dough to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape dough into an 8-inch-long log. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line heavy large baking sheets with a silpat or parchment paper. Cut dough log crosswise into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick slices. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly apart. Press pine nuts decoratively atop cookies. Bake until the cookies are golden around edges, about 15 minutes. Yield 24 to 36 cookies.
1) Soak dried broad beans in cold water overnight, then drain.
2) Next day, put soaked beans and wild fennel, or soaked fennel seeds, into a pan. Add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and cook slowly for about 2 hours, or until beans are completely soft, adding water as necessary. Blend by hand or machine until smooth and set aside.
3) While dried beans are cooking, blanch fresh beans in boiling unsalted water for a couple of minutes, then drain and peel off the skins.
4) In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil, then add diced onion, carrot and celery and cook until soft but not colored. Add fresh broad beans and the blended beans and cook for 15 minutes, then season and serve drizzled with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Serve hot. Yield: 6 servings.
Very cool, I had no idea about Joseph being the patron saint.
Lovely, a perfect and sophisticated Italian meal for me :-)!!
I love the pine nuts in the cookies, they look lovely.
And the soup, I´m cream-soups freak so what can I say.
Love. Have a great week and a happy Monday.
These cookies are my mom's favorite! I'll have to attempt them for her! And I usually make special pastries for St. Joseph's day. It's such a fun food "holiday"!
Since I am a member of St. Joseph's church…we celebrate St. Joseph's day every year, with a little (and I mean little) parade and breakfast at the church.
The cookies you made are just beautiful and your soup looks delectable! Two perfect things to serve on St. Josephs Day! Have a great day, Mary!
Both the cookies and soup looks delicious! I love pine nuts, but they are really expensive over here. I don't mind having that bowl of soup anytime.
Mary I just love your stories - they are so well written and interesting! I also love how you pressed the pine nuts into the cookies and the soup is beautiful!
You are such great chef, my goodness! I love the cookiesand all your recipes, really. I'm a fan! Thank you for the recipes and for your sweet and kind comment.
the cookies are so pretty, they look professionally made! the soup looks delicious as well, perfect for a cold day like today!
Those Italians certainly know how to use their pine nuts. Wow.

Residents in low-income housing claim cold shoulder on heating issue
Dec 23, 2021 | Alberta, Business, Canada, Living, Politics
Several units at Medicine Hat Community Housing Society's Southlands Blvd. property have experienced heating issues, which has resulted in residents depending on space heaters to heat their homes. Some residents say that are not comfortable with leaving the heaters on at night or when they go out. NEWS PHOTO. KENDALL KING, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
By KENDALL KING, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Several residents at a low-income rental property on Southlands Boulevard are without heat at the moment as Medicine Hat Communty Housing Society, the site operator, and the city, which owns the property, work together to fix the issue. Residents say however, this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of poor infrastructure at the site.
Residents Vera Lynn Holman and Sharon Enslen claim this is not the first time they have been without heat.
"Every winter it happens," Enslen told the News, Dec. 17.
Holman agreed. "They continually say, 'It's winter, we'll fix it in the summertime," she said. "But nothing is done in the summertime and we end up having no heat again."
When contacted for comment, officials at the city told the News, "The heating issue at 251 Southlands Blvd. has been intermittent over the past couple of years. Particularly when temperatures are very cold outside. In 2020, the city worked with MHCHS to repair issues with the property's boiler system and through that work, further work was identified as being required in the distribution piping. Flow issues were not providing sufficient heat to the end units."
The official also informed the News of an amendment to the city's 2021 budget had been brought to Medicine Hat's Administrative Committee on Dec. 16 and would be raised at Monday's city council meeting. The $375,000 amendment would go toward infrastructure updates at the Southlands property, including the acquisition and installation of a $300,000 hydronic heating piping system.
The amendment was passed unanimously with work on the heating system expected to begin as soon as possible, Leah Prestayko, the city's director of community development, told the News. Until then, affected residents are asked to continue using electric heaters, which were provided to them by MHCHS.
However, residents aren't convinced this the end of their worries. Holman and Enslen have other grievances, including annual rent increases, additional infrastructure issues, such as windows which let in cold air and snow, and communication issues with MHCHS and the city.
"We shouldn't have to pay this big amount of rent … when we have problems in the wintertime with no heat and we have drafty windows," said Holman. "And you put the elderly in a situation like that, then we get sick."
"I want a month's rent back," said Enslen. "I pay rent to rent a suite with heat and I'm not getting that … It's unheard of; seniors living in a building with no heat."
The building is only eight years old, though no warranties remain on the systems.
"I don't think we hit the expected lifespan for the systems but they are failing and the maintenance that was attempted to resolve the issue did not do so, and hence why (system replacement is necessary)," Brian Mastel, public services managing director with the city, said during Monday's meeting.
In a statement provided to the News, Prestayko agreed with Mastel.
"It is unfortunate and unusual to have this level of repairs required. We will continue to work with MHCHS to understand needs and create plans to address," she said.
She also acknowledges the remaining infrastructure issues and guarantees the city is "working with Medicine Hat Community Housing Society to prioritize that work."
Until all repairs are completed, Holman and Enslen will stay near to their space heaters and away from the windows in an attempt to weather the frigid temperatures forecaster for the coming weeks.
"They always say wait for your golden years, there's nothing golden about these years," said Enslen.
