Consortium of PSU banks agrees to infuse funds for completion of stalled Amrapali projects: SC told
On the occasion of Diwali, 150 flats completed by National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) in a stalled project of Amrapali were given to the homebuyers in a small ceremony organised with the help of court receiver.
New Delhi, In a relief to thousands of Amrapali homebuyers, the Supreme Court on Saturday was informed that a consortium of six public sector banks have agreed to infuse around Rs 1,000 crore in the stalled projects to ensure their speedy completion.
A bench of Justices UU Lalit and Ajay Rastogi was informed court-appointed receiver senior advocate R Venkataramani that the consortium of six PSU banks, which include UCO bank, Bank of India and Bank of Baroda, among others have agreed in-principle to infuse funds to the tune of around Rs 1,000 crore and paperwork is likely to be completed by the month end.
The bench asked Venkataramani to ensure that the process is expedited and money starts coming in the first week of December, so that stalled work can be started expeditiously.
The court receiver further said that valuation work of five personal villas of former Amrapali directors, which have been attached on court orders, is complete and five parties have shown interest in buying them at a cost that is more than the valuation price.
The bench directed that all these villas shall be auctioned by public sector undertaking MSTC Ltd, which has been involved in auctioning of Amrapali properties earlier as well.
Advocate ML Lahoty, appearing for homebuyers, said that the court should deal with their application seeking recovery of money from the defaulters as per the 2019 judgement of the court.
The bench said that it will try to hear the Amrapali matter on every Saturday and would dispose of these applications.
Meanwhile, the court also reserved its order on the application filed by NOIDA seeking recall of June 10, 2020 order by which the court has curtailed the interest charged by the authority from the year 2010 onwards from the builders, who have been allotted land by the authority.
On October 25, the top court was informed that 150 homebuyers of Amrapali in a project situated at Greater Noida will be given the possession letter in a ceremony planned for Diwali, which is on November 4.
Since the 2019 verdict of the top court, for the first time the 150 homebuyers were given possession letters for the flats in a project, which was stalled after Amrapali ran into legal and financial trouble.
The court receiver had then informed it that around 300 flats are nearing completion out of which 150 flats have been completed by NBCC.
On September 3, the top court had warned that the flat buyers of Amrapali Group who are not clearing their dues as per the payment plan should not be in any kind of delusion as their units can be cancelled and will be considered as unsold inventory.
The top court had earlier said that there are two categories of homebuyers -- first category is of 9,538 homebuyers who have neither registered so far in the Customer Data maintained by the office of the receiver nor have made any payments subsequent to the judgment of the court in July, 2019.
It had noted, in its order, that there is a second category of 6,210 homebuyers, who have registered themselves in the Customer Data but have not made any payment since the judgment of this court in July, 2019.
The NBCC earlier said that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was making all efforts towards the successful completion of various projects of the Amrapali Group situated in Noida and Greater Noida.
It had said that at present, 10 projects in Noida and 12 projects in Greater Noida are under execution involving 45,957 units with sanctioned project cost of Rs 8,025.78 crore.
The apex court in its July 23, 2019, verdict had cracked the whip on errant builders for breaching the trust reposed by homebuyers and ordered the cancellation of the registration of the Amrapali Group under real estate law RERA, and ousted it from prime properties in the NCR by nixing the land leases.
Former group directors of Amrapali Anil Kumar Sharma, Shiv Priya and Ajay Kumar are behind bars on the top court's order.
The apex court had directed a probe by the Enforcement Directorate into alleged money laundering by realtors, providing relief to over 42,000 home buyers of Amrapali Group with the verdict.
The Supreme Court, which is trying to bring in funds for the stalled projects, had then directed the state-run NBCC to complete the stalled projects of the Amrapali Group. PTI MNL KJ KJ KJ

According to recent data released by the National Statistics Administrative Department (DANE), between March and May of this year 13,666,000 working age Colombians, representing 35.7% of the population, were out of work, either due to unemployment or by choice. The amount increased by 0.34% (47,000) from the same period in 2016. Women make up the majority of the unemployed, outnumbering men by 2:1.
Among the 13.6 million that are out of work, 39.8% indicated that they are studying, 40.8% were dedicated to household activities and 19.3% could not find a job or were not looking, Most of these 13.6 million Colombians are not considered in unemployment data, which was set at 9.4% in May 2017. That was an increase of 0.6% from the May 2016.
The population's participation in the workforce is considered to be a strong indicator with regard to the health of an economy.
Among those who are unemployed, only 45.5% of women are currently employed while 25.4% of men are employed, according to DANE data. This has been a sustained trend for many years in Colombia.
For the period March-May 2017, the DANE reported that female unemployment reached a 12% while male unemployment was 7% this year, decreasing compared to last year's same period, with the values of 12.1% and 7.3% respectively.
Women in Colombia are primarily employed in commerce, hotels and restaurants, while male employment is predominantly in agriculture, farming, forestry and fishing.

Dirty Kanza 200: My Race Report
Last year, I completed my first Leadville 100 mountain bike race. It's fair to say that I was obsessed with it, and I spent a lot of time worrying and completely stressed out about whether I could finish it. It was a huge relief to finish it successfully and get my belt buckle, even if my time turned out slower than I might have wished for. I felt like I raced Leadville to the best of my abilities and fitness at the time.
This year, I signed up for the Dirty Kanza 200 in January. I decided right then that it was not going to be like Leadville. Either I would finish it, or I wouldn't. If I didn't finish, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I was not going to take all the fun out of it by making it completely stressful again with worrying for months on end.
I couldn't find anyone to sign up and ride it with me, and it didn't look like I was going to have any support. But this year, for the first year, you could pay $75 extra and get support that way, so it wouldn't be a big deal to drive up to Kansas and do the race by myself.
In the end, my brother decided to come with me to Emporia, so I wasn't up in Kansas alone. But since I had paid support, he was able to do the 50 mile fun ride in the morning and didn't have to drive from support location to support location, waiting for me. I had a room reserved at the Super 8, which was not far from downtown and only a couple of miles from the start, so I could ride there instead of worrying about parking. I had stayed at the Super 8 in Leadville last summer, so it seemed like a good choice for the Dirty Kanza. And indeed, the room was great and the people running it were too.
Arriving in Emporia
One of the first things I noticed when I arrived on Friday in Emporia to check in is that I didn't feel like the fattest, least fit guy at the event like I did at Leadville. I am 5' 8", and weigh about 150 pounds. At the Leadville check in last year, most of the riders had that gaunt, 6 percent body fat pro cyclist look. At the Dirty Kanza check in, there were quite a few fit looking people. But there were also a large number of people who looked more like they were there to do a typical century rally.
The feel of the event was much more casual too. During the rider's meeting the night before, the event organizer said that even if you decided to quit after 100 or 150 miles, you were still a winner. I turned to my brother and said that Ken Chlouber, the founder of the Leadville 100 who still gives a motivational speech before each event, would never, ever say that.
In fact, my favorite part of the required rider's meeting before Leadville was Ken's motivational speech, where he said something like, "When you get back home, people are going to ask you if you finished Leadville and got your buckle. You can either say 'Yes,' or you can spend the next 15 minutes on a crybaby, well-rehearsed excuse as to why you didn't make it."
As you can see, Ken will not tell you that you're still a winner if you quit.
Coming in to the Dirty Kanza for the first time, I wondered if it would be harder or easier than Leadville. It was twice as long as Leadville, but there were no mountain climbs, and it wasn't taking place at 11,000 feet of elevation, almost two miles in the sky.
Still, a 200 mile race on gravel roads in a very hilly area sounded very difficult. I had never ridden any further than 102 or 103 miles.
The Dirty Kanza 200 starts at 6 a.m. in front of the Granada theater, in the middle of downtown on Commerce Street.
Leadville had something like 1,600 starters in 2012, all carefully organized into color coded gates. You had to qualify for your gate with your time in one of the qualifying races or a previous race time at Leadville. First time riders had to start at the very back gate, which is where I started. It took almost three minutes after the shotgun went off before I made it over the start line!
With only 600 starters, Dirty Kanza organizers let you self select how you line up. A girl on roller skates held up a big posterboard sign that said "12 hours" at the front, and other people held up signs for 14, 16 and 18 hours.
You just decided how long you thought it would take you, and you lined up. I started with the leaders in the 12 hour section. I saw a bunch of Carmichael Training guys, including Chris Carmichael himself. I saw Rebecca Rusch, and some other woman pro, a guy I recognized from the CTS Leadville camp I attended last summer, and another guy from Dallas I had ridden the Red River Riot gravel grinder with. He was riding the Dirty Kanza 200 on a fixed gear single speed. (He finished, too!)
The atmosphere at the start felt much more like a rally than a race. Which was terrific, because it took away all the nervousness I thought I'd feel at the start.
The event started exactly on time at 6 a.m., and a vehicle led us out of town. I was somewhere in the top 50 to 80 riders when we left pavement about a mile out of town and hit the first gravel road. The peloton turned into two long lines, where riders settled into the two spots on the road where car tires had made the gravel thinner and safer.
I was worried that the pace would immediately surge at the beginning, and that I would have to choose between redlining it to stay with the leaders or just letting them ride away. But the pace stayed within reason and I was able to stay with the main field for the first 23 miles or so.
I was somewhere in the top 50 or so riders, and the peloton formed two long lines along the two tire tracks on the gravel road. I was getting yoyoed in the turns and having to push it a little bit to stay with the group, but it wasn't a big deal.
We settled into a good pace between 20 and 23 mph, on gravel, and the course was still relatively flat. I was excited that the first 50 miles seemed like they were going to go pretty quickly and easily.
At mile 23 or so, we took a turn, went a few hundred yards, and ran into a giant mud bog that covered the entire road. I couldn't see exactly what was happening at first, but everyone was stopping and jumping off their bikes. Then they ran through on the left side of the road through the grass, past the bog, and jumped back on and remounted.
I did the same thing, and was checking out my bike and shoes and pedals and jumping back on my bike when I noticed Chris Carmichael next to me, with his bike wheels completely covered in thick, black mud. He had evidently attempted to ride through the mud. He didn't look thrilled about it.
One of his CTS buddies called out for him to hurry up. I jumped back on my bike and didn't see Chris again for a very long time, until around mile 60 or 65 when he and another rider passed me at a pace that I couldn't match.
Almost immediately after the mud bog, we turned onto really small roads that were so unused that grass was growing up through some of the tire track areas. The race leaders were quite a ways away at this point, and there was no more large peloton. There were just a bunch of individual riders and a few small groups riding together.
I was riding mostly alone at this point, until a woman who I had seen on the side of the road looking at her wheel came up from behind me and passed. I jumped on her wheel for a while, along with another guy, until she kept surging the hills and I let her go on. I saw her again 20 minutes later pulled over on the side of the road again, with some kind of rear derailleur problem. I can't remember if she passed me again after that.
We had gotten into the hills at this point, and the course was constantly going up and down.
I found a good pace and stuck with it. A few people were passing me, but it was mostly faster people who had flatted, fixed a flat, and were racing past at their former faster pace.
We rode through several water crossings, and I watched the lines that other riders would take ahead of me and took the same lines to be safe.
I slowed down through the water, worried about hidden potholes that might give me a flat or crash me. Even so, my feet got wet and were kind of cold. It was 58 degrees at the start, and closer to 55 out in the country for the first couple of hours. The whole day stayed cool, and never got about 72 degrees that I noticed on my Garmin.
Speaking of my Garmin, I had purchased a special external battery extender on Amazon before the race. It was a little bit heavy, because it used four AA batteries and a mini USB cable that hooked up to the Garmin unit. But the 800 would only run on internal batteries for up to 12 hours, and the course record for the Dirty Kanza 200 was 11:56. There was no way that I was going to ride 200 miles on gravel in the middle of nowhere and not post it on Strava to prove that I really did it.
A couple on a tandem passed me, and it was unnatural to match their pace on the uphills and downhills, so I let them go. I ended up riding on and off with a couple of guys who knew each other and were both riding single speeds.
I didn't know if that was bad or good that I was keeping pace with them, but I figured that with a ride this long, I wanted to avoid going into the red early, because I would probably pay for it later.
I noticed one of those two guys on a single speed coasting downhill at over 20 mph on the gravel, upper body turned to one side. As I came up on him, I realized that he was successfully pissing off the side of his bike on a gravel downhill. That was some serious cycling skill.
I hit the first support stop in Madison at around 2:56 or so, which meant that I was making good time. Other than the support crews and some spectators, there were hardly any riders. I checked in at the checkpoint, and then rolled over to the Pablove paid support area, where they would have my next set of bottles to replace the two bottles of Spiz I had already gone through. My nutrition plan was on schedule, and working.
The first 50 miles of the event had gone very quickly and easily, which was encouraging.
My nutrition plan for the event consisted of using Spiz as my liquid nutrition. I had five scoops in each bottle, which added up to about 700 calories. I would drink half a bottle every hour or so, going through two bottles between each 50 mile segment and then replacing the bottles at each stop.
I had successfully tested Spiz as my primary nutrition at the Austin Rattler 100k Leadville qualifier mountain bike race, and at the Shiner century rally, and felt better at the end of those two events than I had felt at the end of any race in recent memory. It might partially be that I am simply fitter this year and getting better at longer events, but I really think this product makes a gigantic difference for me.
One problem I ran into in the first section with my bike was that my temporary bottle cage had started shifting around and was rubbing my leg. So I had to take the bottle out of it and put it in my back pocket. That left me a little bit top heavy, because I was also wearing a small Camelbak 2 liter pack. My cx bike only has one bottle cage, because it is designed to be shouldered during cyclocross races. So I had added a temporary cage that velcros onto the seat tube.
My bottles at all of the support stops were filled with Spiz powder and no water, because I had to drop off the bags the night before. So I gave the crew my used up bottles, and they added cold water from their water cooler to my new bottles and gave them to me so that I could continue on the ride.
I rode off about 100 yards and remembered that I didn't fill up my Camelbak, so I circled back, remembering how unpleasant it was climbing Columbine last summer at Leadville with no water, and only a really thick HEED Perpetuem bottle to drink from. (I forgot to fill up my Camelbak at the bottom of Columbine and didn't even notice the error until I ran out of water 20 minutes after the stop was long behind me.)
There was some poor guy who was wearing one of those Camelbak vests designed for road racers and time trialists that goes under your jersey. He had to sit on the ground under the water cooler so that they could pour water into his Camelbak. I'm guessing that would become more and more uncomfortable to sit on the ground to get water fill-ups as the day went on.
As long as we're on the subject, let's talk about my equipment for the Dirty Kanza 200. There's a huge range of different bikes at the start of big gravel grinders like this. Everything from gravel specific bikes like the Salsa Warbird to dual suspension 29er mountain bikes to weird options that people cobble together out of their own crazy ideas of what seems the best or the coolest to them. I lined up next to a guy riding a single speed fixed gear, for example. And he finished!
I went with my cyclocross bike, and Orbea Terra TLT with Ultegra 10 speed. For the wheels, I went with the new 2013 C24 Dura Ace road tubeless wheels. And I set up my tires tubeless, with Caffelatex sealant. I rode a Clement 40mm gravel specific tire in the front, and a Stan's Raven 700 x 35mm cyclocross tire in the back.
The Clement tire is not designed as a tubeless tire, but it sealed up very easily and worked great that way. I had a hard time getting the Raven to seal up on the back wheel, even with my compressor. I had to make a bike shop run to get help the week before the event. Maybe that's because of the extra wide profile of the Dura Ace back wheel, or maybe it's just because I suck at dealing with tubeless tires.
I swapped out the seatpost for the Dirty Kanza 200 and used a Cane Creek Thudbuster ST, which is a suspension seatpost that works on a parallelogram. That means that your seat height stays about the same when the seatpost works. You don't really feel the Thudbuster working when you are riding it. You just notice that the bumps don't hurt as much. For a 200 gram weight penalty compared to a regular seatpost, I thought it was completely worth it.
I carried a really big Koki TukTuk seat bag so that I had room for two new cyclocross tubes, in case I ended up flatting so badly the the sealant in my tires didn't work. I also carried a master chain link, and a Topeak tool, and a Park kit for making sidewall repairs. I also had a little tool that plugs holes in tubeless tires so that I could potentially repair a flat that was too big for the sealant to fill up and not need to take off my tire and put in a tube in the middle of the race. Depending on how tired I was, I figured that a flat would cost me anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to change.
I used a SRAM Garmin mount to keep my Garmin 800 further out in front of the handlebars so that it was both easier to see and not in my way on the stem. And I used two Revelate handlebar bags. One of them contained my Garmin battery extender and a Big Air cannister to inflate my tires. It also contained a plastic tube with a bunch of Sports Legs tablets inside, which do an amazing job of preventing cramping. And just in case, I also had a different tube with Saltstick capsules. I didn't end up using any of those.
The other handlebar bag contained several packets of Vanilla Bean GU, and a Powerbar. My plan was to almost exclusively use Spiz as my nutrition for the ride, but I wanted to have other food options in case I developed taste aversion to the Spiz, or didn't feel like it was working for me.
Mile 50 to 100
As I rode out of the town of Madison after the first support stop, the road headed up a long, steep, brick hill. Not long afterward, it was back on gravel and back into the empty green pasture of the Kansas countryside in the flint hills.
I've already forgotten if the biggest creek crossing was during the first 50 mile section, or the second 50 mile section. I think it was in the second 50 mile section. We rode down a long gravel downhill into a big area of trees. And at the bottom, riders were once again jumping off their bikes, holding them up, and walking through a wide, rapidly running creek.
The water was cold, and at least up to my knees. One guy actually rode across through the deep water and made it all the way. Impressive, but I would have been worried that I would end up ruining my bottom bracket or chain or derailleur. I held my bike completely out of the water, keeping it dry.
A small crowd of spectators had gathered at the creek crossing, mostly on the other side where riders were re-mounting and riding up the fairly steep gravel road back away from the creek. They cheered for us all.
I don't remember very much about the second section except for the hellish headwind that lasted most of it. I'd estimate that it was a 20 mph wind, with 30 mph gusts. In the crosswind sections, the gusts would literally start to blow you out of the car tracks on the gravel road, forcing you to lean and steer against it to stay out of the deeper gravel in the middle of the road or on the shoulder.
In spite of the tough wind, I ended up still riding most of the section alone. The few riders who passed me were going too fast to keep up with. It was hard to get a decent draft on the gravel, so it just seemed more miserable to try and stay on some guy's wheel and ride at a harder pace than I was doing alone.
Eventually though, on a really long hill that had a photographer on it, a guy came up beside me and passed me, mumbling and cursing and griping about the wind. I was not really in the mood to complain about it, because talking about just made it feel worse to me.
This rider was going at a pace that I could sustain, and for the next 10 miles or so, we took turns blocking the wind at the front while the other one rested and drafted at the back. We passed a lot of riders, always hoping that some of them would jump on and make it a larger group. One guy sat on the back for a few minutes before he dropped off, but no one else even tried to join us. Depressing.
At this point in the race, I was thinking to myself that I wasn't sure if I would really be able to complete the whole thing if it was going to be this windy and miserable.
Where the first 50 miles had taken just under 3 hours, the second 50 miles took about 4 hours. Where the first 50 miles had been fun, the second 50 miles were mostly hellish.
Mile 100 to 150
At the second support stop, I hung around three or four minutes longer. They had plenty of food and drinks, including Subway sandwiches. But solid food still did not seem appealing and I was not hungry. I ate one small cookie from the table, and that was it. I hoped that my lack of hunger meant that the Spiz energy drink was giving me plenty of calories.
I headed out on the next leg, stopping briefly outside of town to add some Chamois Butt'r to my shorts from a small packet that came with my entry packet.
I was already experiencing some butt discomfort, and I thought maybe a re-application would help. I quickly discovered that it stung instead of soothed, and wondered if maybe my butt was already blistered or maybe even slightly bleeding. But I didn't check too closely, because I didn't really want to know. There was nothing I'd be able to do about it anyway. The stinging finally stopped after 5 or 10 minutes and I went back to the previous tolerable level of discomfort.
When I started the third leg of the event, I was thrilled to learn that the course was now headed in a new direction with a perfect tailwind. The gravel road this time was very large, wide and smooth, although still hilly.
My thoughts from just a few minutes before of how I wasn't sure if I could finish changed to thinking that the hard part was all finished, and that the last 100 miles wouldn't be bad at all. I was cruising along, alone, at over 20 mph on gravel. Life was good.
About six miles later, the course turned again. The tailwind disappeared, along with my short period of over-optimism. It was back to a combination of small roads, tough hills, and crosswind / headwind.
I was riding with a small group of guys at mile 138, and we all missed that turn. Shortly afterward, one of the guys in the group said that he was pretty sure we had missed a turn and went back.
I rode up to the other guys and told them what had just happened, and we all stopped and looked at the map and determined that the other guy was right. Fortunately, we only went about half a mile off course and lost two or three minutes looking at the map.
That was my first experience going off course, but it unfortunately wouldn't be my last. The turn at mile 138 appeared to be entirely unmarked when we went back and turned, and I think a lot of other people went off course there. (According to the Dirty Kanza rules, they only tell you that the markings were there when they put them down, and say that you need to depend on your map and navigation skills and not on course markings. It is the rider's responsibility to stay on course.)
I don't remember much else about the third 50 mile segment except that it seemed to go on forever, and that most of it was slow because of the wind. It took about four hours and 15 minutes to get to the next stop. My ass was hurting worse, and I was very tired, plain and simple.
If I kept the same four hour pace, I'd probably be finished in 15 hours. But surely it would go faster than that, because there had to be an end to the strong headwind and crosswind.
The Final Segment
As I rolled up to the Pablove support station, I considered how tired I was and thought about quitting again. I told the woman who was helping me swap out my bottles that I didn't know if I should keep going, or if I should just cry and quit. She told me that I was still pretty far toward the front, because only 15 other people had come through who paid for support. That gave me some encouragement.
I sat down in one of the chairs they had near the tent for a few minutes and drank a cold Coke, and then decided that there was no point in delaying the inevitable. So I climbed back on my bike and started riding again.
One fortunate part about the last 50 mile stretch is that the wind seemed to be dying down as the day went on.
My navigation strategy during the Dirty Kanza was to always make sure that I saw riders ahead of me, and to follow them. I found the map confusing. And there weren't really any street signs to speak of, which made things even more complicated.
This navigation strategy failed me a few miles after the final support stop.
I followed a guy off course for several miles, until we ran into another guy ahead of us who had stopped to look at his map.
We had to backtrack an unknown distance of a few miles, and we ran into two or three other guys who had also gone off course. With a little bit of map study, they determined the best way to get back on course, and it worked. We saw riders up ahead of us again, as well as course markings.
The bad news was that we had lost quite a bit of time, and it wasn't going to be possible anymore to get to the finish line before dark. That was disappointing, because they were giving away some limited edition Dirty Kanza print to the first 250 people who arrived before 8:42 p.m., which was the official sunset.
The last 50 miles seemed to go on forever. There were a few short periods where I seemed to get a second wind and felt okay for a while, but they didn't last for long.
I rode with a group consisting of a couple of Chamois Butt'r team riders and another guy for half an hour or so. But one of those guys was so obviously tired that he was lagging on every hill and overlapping wheels with the guy in front of him trying to get a better draft. I was afraid that I was going to get caught in a crash, so I let them go ahead and just used them to pace myself, riding alone again.
It's a strange feeling to see huge numbers on your Garmin bike computer like 185 miles. It's such a big number. It seemed crazy that I could have ridden that far. And almost entirely solo, except for the first 23 miles, and maybe 20 or 30 other miles where I rode with others.
I told myself, "Just 15 miles to go! You can do it!"
But I knew that wasn't even slightly true. The official course was 204 miles. And I had gone off course for who knew how many miles. Still, I felt better pretending it was 200 miles.
As I got to 195 or so on the Garmin, the course finally started to flatten out a little bit, and the wind didn't seem bad anymore.
A few people passed me. One man and woman rode past me quickly, and looked so fresh that it didn't seem possible that they were riding the same 200 mile event that I was riding. How were they ever behind me if they looked that good and were riding that fast now? It was a mystery to me.
Eventually, a group passed me at a speed that I could keep up with. It had already started to get dark enough that I had turned on my rear blinker and my front light.
My Serfas 500 lumen front light seemed plenty bright riding around White Rock Lake every morning, but it didn't quite light up the dark gravel roads as much as I would have liked. It was good enough that I felt safe though, and didn't need to slow down.
Our small group kept speeding up as we approached the lights of Emporia, and we were riding at over 20 mph. I was starting to feel like the end was in sight.
And that was about the time that we went over a grated bridge on the outskirts of town and a woman in our group crashed, really hard.
I was right behind her, but I had fallen way back when I saw the bridge, because the grating looked dangerous to me. The others had charged right across, and the woman got her tire stuck in one of the grooves, which threw her to the ground.
Her friend or boyfriend told her to lie down, but she said that she couldn't because it hurt worse that way. I asked if she wanted us to go get help, and she said something like, "Hell no. I'm going to finish." Her friend grabbed her under her armpits and helped her up and said that we could ride on ahead, so we did.
Only a mile or two from the finish, our group of three still managed to miss a turn in the dark. We went straight across the highway and back onto gravel. Which turned out to be a driveway that went directly to someone's house. We stood around confused for a second, and then rode back out, got onto the highway and rode into town and turned to ride through the campus of Emporia State University, and finally back onto Commerce street where we started the whole thing more than 15 hours ago.
A surprisingly large number of spectators lined the last three blocks of Commerce Street, and they cheered like crazy as we rode in toward the finish. The last block was lined with metal barriers, and the spectators leaned over the barriers to stick their hands out to give us high fives as we rode past.
There was no sprint for the finish, because the barriers narrowed down to single file, where you checked in and gave your number, and they handed you your official Dirty Kanza finisher's pint glass and congratulated you.
It was really impressive that so many people were there at 9:30 p.m., about three hours after the winners had come through. The finish was scheduled to remain open until 2 a.m., which was the 20 hour cutoff.
Out of 630 people who started the DK 200, only 331 finished the race. I was 111th out of those, which put me at the last of the top third of racers who finished.
For my longest ride ever and my first attempt at the Dirty Kanza, and after adding 6 additional miles to my race from wrong turns, and after also stopping for a crash, I was happy with that. I probably would have done about an hour better without the mistakes, but I felt that I rode the event as well as I could.
My brother was waiting for me at the finish, and he brought me a large, delicious, ice cold Coke from a nearby restaurant.
Drinking my Coke, I saw that the woman who crashed near the finish had made it to the end. She was sitting on a stretcher at one of the ambulances at the finish, and the paramedics were cleaning up her road rash.
We went straight to the car, loaded up the bike, and headed directly back to the Super 8 hotel. After a 2 minute shower, I climbed directly into bed. I ate a banana that already in the room, and then a couple of pieces of cold Papa John's pizza left over from my brother's dinner, and went immediately to sleep.
The next morning I was surprised to discover that I was a little bit sore and tired, but in otherwise good shape, and incredibly hungry too. Unlike the drive home from Leadville last summer where I felt feverish and ill, the drive home from Kansas was shorter (although still 7 hours), and much, much more pleasant.
Maybe I'm just fitter this year than last year. Maybe I'm getting better at ultra endurance events. Or maybe I just have a more effective nutrition plan.
But I feel that the Dirty Kanza 200, although twice as long in distance, was not as physically challenging as Leadville. It was a big mental challenge to ride for that many hours, but I physically felt a lot better at the end of the race, as well as the day afterward.

LFG Roland Stralsund V 19, Putbus – niemiecki jednomiejscowy jednosilnikowy jednopłatowy morski (dolnopłat) samolot rozpoznawczy z okresu I wojny światowej, zbudowany w berlińskiej wytwórni Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft w sierpniu 1918 r.

Pierwsze próby
Pierwsze próby zastosowania samolotów, przenoszonych przez okręty podwodne, przeprowadzał pilot niemieckiego lotnictwa morskiego, Oberleutnant zur See Friedrich von Arnauld de la Perière, pod którego komendą znajdowały się dwa nieuzbrojone dwupłatowe wodnosamoloty rozpoznawcze Friedrichshafen FF.29 stacjonujące w Zeebrugge.

24 grudnia 1914 roku samolot załadowany 12-kilogramowymi bombami wystartowawszy z Zeebrugge przeleciał nad Kanałem La Manche i lecąc wzdłuż Tamizy wykonał lot bojowy nad Dover. Tam Arnauld dokonał pierwszego w historii bombardowania ziemi brytyjskiej, nie wyrządzając jednak większych szkód, po czym bez szwanku umknął pościgowi brytyjskich myśliwców. Jednym z oczywistych wniosków wysnutych przez autorów operacji był problem niewystarczającego zasięgu samolotu.

Zachęcony przebiegiem tej operacji Arnauld umieścił jeden ze swoich hydroplanów, uzbrojony w bomby, na pokładzie okrętu podwodnego U-12 (zwodowanego 6 maja 1910 roku w Gdańsku), którym dowodził Kapitänleutnant Walther Forstmann. Plan zakładał przewiezienie wyposażonego w pływaki wodnosamolotu na pokładzie wynurzonego okrętu podwodnego, zanurzenie okrętu podwodnego i posadowienie samolotu na powierzchni morza i późniejszy jego start. 15 stycznia 1915 r. uzbrojony w jedną bombę FF-29 wypłynął na pokładzie U-12. Rozpiętość skrzydeł samolotu (16,21 m) wynosiła niemal ⅓ długości kadłuba niewielkiego przybrzeżnego patrolowego okrętu (57 m). Silne falowanie otwartego morza zmusiło dowódcę okrętu do napełnienia zbiorników balastowych na dziobie jednostki, po czym samolot znalazłszy się na wodzie bez problemów wzniósł się w powietrze. Arnauld pierwotnie zakładał powrót na pokład okrętu, jednak po wykonaniu lotu wzdłuż wybrzeża brytyjskiego, niezauważony przez nieprzyjaciela zawrócił do bazy w Zeebrugge. Ta misja, choć również uwieńczona powodzeniem, wykazała konieczność dokonania dalszych usprawnień.

W kolejnych latach Arnauld i Forstmann proponowali dowództwu dalsze pomysły, jednak zostały one uznane za niepraktyczne. Jednakże w 1917 roku zaprojektowano i zbudowano trzy dwupłatowe, napędzane pchającym śmigłem dwupłatowe latające łodzie Hansa Brandenburg W.20. Samoloty były składane i przystosowane do przewożenia wewnątrz okrętu podwodnego, jednak do budowy jednostki pływającej zdolnej przewieźć samolot nie doszło.

Roland Stralsund
W tym samym czasie co Hansa Brandenburg W.20 opracowano inny samolot rozpoznawczy, przeznaczony do przewożenia na pokładzie okrętu podwodnego - LFG Roland Stralsund V 19. Z uwagi na niewielką dostępną przestrzeń na jednostce, cechował się uproszczoną konstrukcją oraz łatwością montażu i demontażu w warunkach morskich. Odczepiane skrzydła zawierały zbiorniki paliwa, wyposażone w automatyczne zawory uniemożliwiające wyciek przy ich zakładaniu i zdejmowaniu. Zaprojektowany przez Gottholda Baatza aluminiowy hydroplan wyposażony w pływaki w stanie rozłożonym przechowywany był w pięciu szczelnych kapsułach umieszczonych na pokładzie okrętu podwodnego. Start i lądowanie następowały na wodzie przy pomocy pływaków. Wyszkolona załoga 5 inżynierów składała i uruchamiała samolot w mniej niż pół godziny w warunkach naziemnych (czas demontażu wynosił poniżej 15 minut), czas przygotowania do lotu w warunkach morskich, na pokładzie okrętu podwodnego zapewne był dłuższy.

Wyprodukowano zaledwie 1 egzemplarz w 1918 roku. Samolot nazywany był również Putbus od portu na wyspie Rugia, gdzie został złożony w sierpniu 1918 roku, po czym został oblatany nad wodami Bałtyku. Prace nad modyfikacjami i rozwojem konstrukcji trwały do końca wojny, marynarka zamówiła trzy egzemplarze, do których zbudowania jednak nie doszło. Dalsze udoskonalanie prototypu przerwała kapitulacja Niemiec, jednak konstruktorzy zdołali ukryć samolot przed aliancką komisją rozbrojeniową i w tajemnicy kontynuowali prace. W 1922 roku rozważano propozycję wyposażenia w ten samolot niemieckiej marynarki wojennej, jednak ograniczenia traktatu wersalskiego położyły kres tym planom. Aż do 1923 r. trwały próbne obloty samolotu, jego prawdziwe przeznaczenie było ukrywane, a V 19 określany był jako aeroplan do poszukiwania ławic ryb. Prace przerwano z rozlicznych przyczyn: prototyp stawał się przestarzały, jego elementy korodowały, trudne było utrzymywanie fikcyjnej wersji użytkowania skomplikowanej maszyny przez rybaków, poza tym wskutek ograniczeń traktatowych Kaiserliche Marine przestała istnieć. W tym samym roku samolot zezłomowano.

This paper develops a framework to understand the role of interpersonal interactions in the labor market including task assignment and wages. Effective interpersonal interactions involve caring, to establish cooperation, and at the same time directness, to communicate in an unambiguous way. The ability to perform these tasks varies with personality and the importance of these tasks varies across jobs. An assignment model shows that people are most productive in jobs that match their style and earn less when they have to shift to other jobs. An oversupply of one attribute relative to the other reduces wages for people who are better with the attribute in greater supply. We present evidence that youth sociability affects job assignment in adulthood. The returns to interpersonal interactions are consistent with the assignment model.

A shadow of anxiety swept across her face. I haven't been to Boston since Avery died. The experiment resulted in a miserable failure. Have you ever scolded your daughter? The clouds floating in the sky are beautiful. Pesto can be frozen into cubes. The fish aren't biting today. I want to know how many will make me happy. I'm looking for my wallet. Have you seen it? I hate to iron.
You know I didn't like you in the 6th grade. Roberto spent all night worrying about what might happen. Did you get the check? Manavendra is still recovering from heart surgery. My wife is a vegetarian. Are you an American? What do you think of school uniforms? Finally, the delegates voted. Those are hounds. Hey, look over there.
Her girlfriend is completely flat-chested. Schools were built. You must read the textbook closely. The dog lay panting after his long chase. Emily decided to leave the school. The ghetto in this town is dangerous at night. Polly sells apples for $5 and pears for $3.50. If 370 fruits were sold for a total of $1415, how many apples were sold? Newton developed mathematical laws that explained how objects move on Earth as well as in space. Visitors are welcome. I worked on it until the last minute.
The young woman's face became even redder. Please go to school. I'm just trying to do my job. Alf often breaks his promises. That's exactly how I feel. Are you sure about this, Francis? Dan met Linda at the church. He played the game as best he could. The snow keeps the young plants snug and warm. You can't retire yet.
He took part in no good thing, but in many of another sort. They paid cash. I found her mother dead. Prospective buyers couldn't make heads or tails out of the contract. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. He delayed payment on some pretext or other. Boston is on my list of places that I'd like to visit. I see Tareq pretty often. There's something you're not telling me. The notorious dictator abused his privileges to his heart's content.
We have had lots of typhoons this fall. I think you should ask Frances to leave. It's pretty hot this morning. Gerard probably won't want to talk with you. Trevor wasn't very enthusiastic. John drinks Scotch and Teresa bourbon. At the time, I thought it was a mistake. "That's impossible." "I must disagree with you. It's very much possible." That's nothing more than greenwashing. Wilson hasn't come back from Boston yet.
I had to find my own path. Who wrote these messages? The Lebanese student and her friends wrote books. She can speak Spanish, much more English. He said that I must go. All of the rules must be in line with company policy. Hugh looks like he's in his mid-thirties. No one was as disappointed as me. Spike had to tell Rand what happened. Are you sure you don't want one?
We came to an agreement on a price. This afternoon we will have an interview. Read over your paper before you hand it in. It's not my decision. Why are we listening to Ssi? We need to buy a little time here. It happened that, as I was watching some of the little people bathing in a shallow, one of them was seized with cramp and began drifting downstream. "Do you love me just because I am a foreigner?" "Yes, I like the color of your eyes, your skin and your hair, not to mention your lovely accent. " You know Americans are jealous of the British accent that they deem more prestigious. I've got to make sure Eddy remembers to take his medicine.
I almost felt sorry for Laurie. Success means much money, doesn't it? How nice to see you up and about again so soon! He seems to live in Britain. We want to hire you. A party will be held next Saturday, that is to say, on August 25th. Lin felt very guilty about what happened. I've been flying commercial jets for 13 years. I wish to gain time. He's getting up early.
How can I feel relaxed with you watching me like that? How did you get back here? We can't eat on such a dirty table! Rex is really embarrassed. My aunt brought me some flowers. Whistling is to produce a high-pitched sound by making an O with the lips. Mario is a great performer. I went inside. Beer is prohibited before 4:00. I don't deserve to be in college.

IgE sensitization to lupine in bakers - cross-reactivity or co-sensitization to wheat flour?
Van Kampen, V.; Sander, I.; Quirce, S.; Brüning, T.; Merget, R.; Raulf, M.
International Archives of Allergy and Immunology 166(1): 63-70
DOI: 10.1159/000375238
Food allergy to lupine has frequently been reported in patients allergic to peanut or soy, and cross-reactivity between these legumes is known. Moreover, respiratory allergy to lupine has been described after inhalation, mostly at workplaces. Our aim was to study the frequency of lupine sensitization in European bakers with suspected bakers' allergy. Furthermore, associations between sensitizations to lupine and other plant allergens were investigated. One hundred and sixteen bakers with work-related allergic symptoms but without known food allergies were examined. Specific IgE (sIgE) antibodies to wheat flour, rye flour, lupine, peanut, soy and the recombinant single birch protein rBet v 1 were quantified. Selected sera were tested for cross-reactivity using ImmunoCAP inhibition and ISAC microarrays. Whereas 67% of bakers were sensitized to wheat and/or rye flour, 35% showed sIgE to peanut and 33% to lupine. All lupine-positive bakers also had sIgE to either wheat flour (89%) and/or peanut (92%), and lupine sIgE correlated significantly with sIgE to peanut, soy, wheat and rye flour. Used as an inhibitor, wheat flour inhibited IgE binding to lupine in 4 out of 8 sera, indicating cross-reactivity. In microarrays, these sera showed IgE binding to lipid transfer proteins, profilins and/or cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants. Further inhibition experiments suggest that these single allergens are involved in cross-reactivity. One third of 116 symptomatic bakers showed sIgE to lupine. At least some of these sensitizations were based on cross-reactivity between lupine and wheat flour. However, the considerable sensitization rate could also be a sign that the use of lupine flour in bakeries may be of occupational relevance.

Following completion of the search, examiners should reconsider the classification in the light of the search results and prepare an International Type Search Report guided by the instructions in Chapter 16 of the PCT Search and Preliminary Examination Guidelines. A blank Article 15(5) search report form is shown in Annex C.
Note: In view of the effort required and because international-type search reports are never published internationally, it is not necessary to provide family member listings .
Although there is no PCT-imposed time limit for the establishment of the report, examiners are responsible for ensuring that no unavoidable delays occur. The target time for completion of Article 15(5) searches is 6 weeks (for one invention where the original request is compliant) from receiving the search request (see Customer Service Charter Timeliness Guidelines for apology time limits). The usefulness of the search may be diminished for future applications after 12 months from the priority date of the subject application.
The first sheet of the International Type Search Report will indicate the total number of sheets in the report. Blank sheets will be omitted from the report.
The report must include the same level of detail with respect to identification of relevant passages of the citations as an International Search Report; see 1.1.12.5.2 Citation Category. Phrases such as "whole document" and "see figures" should be avoided and reference to specific and relevant passages of the cited document included.
Generally speaking, where the application on which an international-type search is requested includes claims, the claims should be reported on against the documents cited in the search report by filling Box C "Relevant to claim No." of the search report. However, if the search has been conducted on the basis of a search statement and the search statement does not include claims, Box C "relevant to claim No." of the search report, and the STATEMENT box of the opinion, are to be left blank.
Note: The 15/5 search report should provide a list of prior art documents as indicated at 1.2.2. This list should include documents which provide a useful background to the current state of the art (which may be category "A" documents), even if a particularly relevant category "X" document (i.e. a so-called "king hit") is identified.
This is consistent with the use of the 15(5) search to assist the applicant in deciding at an early stage whether they should seek protection through the PCT route.

Q: DSolve does not solve a nonlinear differential equation I am trying to solve the following nonlinear differential equation. Mathematica does not give any solution.
uap = uat*Exp[-I*w*(t - X*Cos[theta]/c)]
pde =
  -I*w*Ze[X, t] + (ua*Cos[theta] + uap*Cos[theta])* D[Ze[X, t], X] +
    Sl*D[Ze[X, t], X]^2 - uap*Sin[theta]
DSolve[pde == 0, Ze[X, t], {X, t}]

The output is the same as input statement DSolve with pde substituted from the above variables, with a warning

Solve::ifun: Inverse functions are being used by Solve, so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce for complete solution information. >>

Can anyone please suggest what is wrong with the input command. I am new to mathematica and I followed instructions in the documentation. I was able to reproduce the examples given in documentation, but this particular problem doesn't work.

A: If you solve your pde for D[Ze[X,t],X] Mathematica is able to solve the explicit pde:
tmp = Solve[pde == 0, D[Ze[X, t], X]][[1]];
pdenew = tmp /. Rule -> Equal;
Simplify[ DSolve[pdenew, Ze[X, t], {X, t}][[1]] ]

Solex - American English: How to express joy and happiness.
We can stretch them out both in speaking and writing to strengthen them, for example, "Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Wow" is very commonly used, it means "amazing".
"Hooray" (Hurrah, Huzzah) is an exclamation of joy.
"Whee" expresses enjoyment, especially by children. You can see this interjection in kids books a lot. You can also hear "Whoopee" and "Yippee", which express wild excitement or delight.
Interjections are not the only words we can use in these cases. We can also use idioms and phrases to talk about happiness and joy. For example, "Look at him, he is AS HAPPY AS A CLAM. (It means he is happy and content).
"When she said she would marry me, I was Doing CARTWHEELS" (I was extremely happy).
You can hear someone calling you "A HAPPY CAMPER". It just means that you are a happy person. You don't need to go camping to become one!
What are your favorite phrases to express joy and happiness? Do you use any interjections?


First inspired to explore magic as a kid when he imagined shrinking himself down and entering a music box in his grandmother's house, Matt Johnson has been fascinated by illusion and fantasy ever since. His theatre show is a fusion of personal storytelling, comedy, traditional magic acts, illusions, and audience participation.
The theatrical, personal element made this a captivating evening of magic as Johnson thoroughly impressed us over and over again. He passed a rope through his body, levitated a young girl, and read the minds of some audience members. Three brave women even handed over their wedding rings to let him link them all together, which left them speechless.
The bravest audience member, though, was a women who joined Johnson onstage for a Russian roulette style trick involving four paper bags and a long carpenter's nail. Before performing the trick, Johnson showed us a video of the same thing being done on live television in Poland; except in that case, the host of the program had the nail go through her hand when the magician chose the wrong bag. For the first two selections, the audience member told Johnson which bag to slam his hand down on, but for the last decision between the two remaining bag, he took her hand and asked her to pick the safe bag. I have no idea how he makes sure the audience member doesn't end up with a nail through her hand.
It was very disappointing that the theatre wouldn't allow Johnson to perform his most dangerous, exciting act — an escape from a water tank. Instead he showed us the video of when he performed the act this past summer on the television show Penn & Teller: Fool Us. In 2018 he will travel to the UK to perform on Britain's Got Talent.
With his self-deprecating, British humour and gracious good nature, Johnson was a brilliant entertainer who kept the crowd spellbound the entire evening. As he joked, he's performing above his price range. He would fit right in as a Las Vegas headliner, and I'm sure he's on his way there as he continues to gain exposure on television and perform internationally.
