Confession of Saffron terrorists - ii
Part 2:Excerpts from the ATS chargesheet in Malegaon case
The Milli Gazette
Print Issue: 16-30 November 2010
Transcript of Conversation [exhibit no. 23]
[translated from Hindi] [some excerpts]
Purohit: "If we follow the present [notion of] Hindutva and the constitution ours also shall be the same fate…. we will fight the constitution, will fight this nation, this nation is not ours…. we shall fight for freedom, Hindu freedom."
Sudhakar Dwivedi: Elections were held in 52 while the constitution was declared in 50. On its first page is written…. we dedicate this constitution to the Indians ….on what basis? While there was no parliament nor any discussion how was it accepted? How was it declared to be "by the people" and who did so?
Dr RP Singh: [a woman from Tahlaka telephoned] She said you filed a case against MF Husain. [I asked] - tell me do you approve insulting Bhagwan Ram, Hanuman, Sitaji and other gods and goddess? …. you want the right to insult me…. I said "communist bitch I will parade you naked…." I abused her so much that she disconnected the phone and ran away.
SD: There was a prize distribution function in Jamia Millia. The vice-president of the country Hamid Ansari was present.
RP…. I went there to lodge my protest. I had 15 litres of petrol with me but did not get a chance. Hamid Ansari at that time was the VC of Jamia Millia. He did not come; his son did.
Purohit: …. Ansari was the candidate for vice president's post. He had already declared that even if I get elected as VP, on third ticket front, I won't recite Vande Mataram….
P: So the matter Swamiji is that we have to fight the constitution, we have to fight for our independence.
P: BJP or any political party cannot be successful because just following Indian constitution…. we have to emerge above of this…. what we need is negotiation capability (on political level)….this will be possible when we acquire nuisance value…. we cannot gather as a crowd of 50,000 on the street like the Muslims…. this Bharat is not our Hindu Bharat which we shall win after victory. It shall be the Hindu Bharat a separate (different) baaju (arm). We have to fight a war of independence and third most important thing is we have to take this issue to the international forum at the earliest. Mere talks wouldn't suffice. Mere agitation shall not be of any avail. There will be discussions about Ram Setu (Ram Bridge). Even if 50 lac gather together the result would be a zero. Parliament shall continue to function the next day in the routine manner. Swamiji there is an incident in Kashmir. Hindus have been driven away. In Maharashtra, a month ago, there is a place called Achalapur in Vidarbha. There are 75 Hindu families 750 families total (SIC) Hindu families and the rest are Muslim families. Out of which 75 to 100 families have been driven away.
Upadhyaya: Houses were burnt
Purohit…. we are a government, a Hindu central government in exile. We should establish. We should distribute our responsibilities….
Purohit…. I shall tell you something. It was never told so far. We accomplished two operations. Which were successful. I have the capacity to [execute] operation. I can manage equipment…. but so far as to decide the target…. in my opinion should not be [at] my discretion…. we shall decide in council. When the council decides these are the 70 persons who must be defeated…. [if there is such resolution] it acquires a formal approval.

Pixar releases teaser for Buzz Lightyear origin story featuring Chris Evans

(WTAJ) — Pixar Animation Studios has dropped the first teaser trailer for "Lightyear," the origin story of the iconic "Toy Story" Space Ranger — but the movie will have little to do with Buzz and Woody.
The film will follow the origins of Buzz Lightyear, the space commander that inspired the iconic toy we fell in love with in 1995. In the trailer, we see the cadet seemingly struggle in training.
While the full plot is still unknown, it's safe to say he succeeds, as he's ultimately seen in the iconic Buzz Lightyear spacesuit towards the end of the trailer below.

While Tim Allen carried the character through the "Toy Story" franchise, this tale of the more real and human Buzz is being voiced by Chris Evans. Yes, Captain America from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now the space ranger who will eventually set out to battle the evil emperor Zurg — if that is indeed the story they want to tell.

The movie is scheduled for release on June 17, 2022.
Pixar's first full-length film, "Toy Story," was released in 1995. Disney bought the company for an astounding $7.4 billion in 2006, leaving Apple CEO Steve Jobs as the largest shareholder.

The United Nations Day
The United Nations Day is celebrated on the October 24 as its foundation day. The United Nations Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States and by a majority of other signatories. The name "United Nations" was coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January 1942, during Second World War. The United Nations is an International Organization founded in 1945. It is currently made up of 193 Member States. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations is a member of the General Assembly. The States are admitted to membership in the UN by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a symbol of the Organization's ideals and a spokesman for the interests of the world's peoples, in particular the poor and vulnerable. The current Secretary-General of the UN, and the ninth occupant of the post, is Mr. António Guterres of Portugal, who took office on 1 January 2017. The UN Charter describes the Secretary-General as "chief administrative officer" of the Organization. There is no other global organization with the legitimacy, convening power and normative impact of the United Nations. Few facts about the United Nations. 1. The UN was founded after the Second World War II to replace the League of Nations which had been so ineffectual in preventing war. 2. When the UN was founded there were 45 members. There are now 193. 3. The most recent country to be admitted to the UN was South Sudan in 2011. 4. UN Peacekeeping forces comprise 116,919 field forces from 123 countries. 5. The UN provides food to 90 million people. 6. The UN provides vaccinations for 58 per cent of the world's children. 7. The United Nations was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. 8. There are three countries that are not members of the UN: Kosovo (not recognised by enough UN members), Taiwan (place was taken by China in 1971) and Vatican City ( For religious reasons).


I have Sid (aka Cupid) for a whole year now. I found his name was Sid from his surrender paperwork to Vacaville Pound.
Poor guy, he was so depressed and skinny when he came home to me from Muttville, but he just melted into me and we connected right away. Over the next few months, Sid came out of his shell. He has a buddy, Jerry from Muttville that we visit often and they get along great, but no other dog can come near me or he barks madly at them and runs at them – hysterical, seeing as he is so placid all other times.
He loves his Condo. I used to take him to work with me, but he hates the crate and barked all the way. He was just being stressed out and so I began leaving him for short times to go to work, I am self employed so had that luxury! He just sleeps when I am away and awakens upon my arrival home. He loves his little walks and sniffs everyone that passes by. He has the cutest curiosity about him. He will stand in front of an open door and just peer inside!! He wants to know everyone's business. He goes right up to all my neighbours, and stares at them until they pet him. So cute.
I tell people I fell in love on line. True. I took one look at that face and my heart melted. He has become a little incontinent and it can be challenging, but I just pick him up, wash him off and I love him even more today than I did a year ago. I thank Muttville every day for my little lovey-dovey.
Bosco was adopted by my mother through Muttville's Seniors for Seniors program. He is now one of the luckiest dogs and has begun enjoying a wonderful life with Elisabeth. He enjoys following her around the house, chasing after toys thrown for him, sneaking under her covers when she is in bed, running around the yard kicking up leaves, and of course going on walks with the grandkids who live very close.
Thank you so much for your Seniors for Seniors program and to the foster family who took such wonderful care to nurse him back to health.
I wanted to send this over as Argyle deserves to be remembered by everyone. He passed over the rainbow bridge recently on Nov 14th 2018.
Argyle came into Muttville's care in April of 2018. He was rescued from the streets of Fresno, CA. He was mostly blind, arthritic and was from his intake form "filthy" and "cute as can be." I still don't know how he survived on the streets. He was then starting his care to come back into his prime.
He was quiet and sitting in the corner by himself when I was brought to Muttville, not looking to adopt yet, but he came into my lap and wouldn't stop kissing me. I had been chosen by Argyle and the feeling was mutual. After making sure he could be taken care of, he came home and my life changed for the better. I had to learn how to help a blind dog get around (hint: different rugs help) and find out how to feed him right and how to get an arthritic dog to go on walkies.
He loved his new beds, his throne in the car even though he tended to stare at the seat not the windows, and slept with me, pushing up against me in the night. We were a pair.
He got some new medication for the arthritis (a difficult injection but worth it for how it made him feel) and he became a new boy again, invigorated and wanting to explore the back yard, or any of the parks we went to. He loved strolling around in the grass, sniffing everything and the smile on his face was precious.
He got a brother. They didn't exactly get along perfectly in the beginning as dogs don't always know another dog is blind and Argyle knew his way around to all the beds in the house.
Then the smoke came. I had kept them inside but somehow he got pneumonia and when taking him to the hospital it showed the pneumonia in one of his lobes. Antibiotics in hand, he came home and I never left his side again. He had problems breathing again and fainted in my arms and when we got him to the hospital he immediately needed CPR which didn't work. The vet explained ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) had made his lungs fail and the smoke could have contributed to the whole scenario.
Argyle was gone. Suddenly. My soulmate and the best boy in the world had passed over the rainbow bridge. I had held him most of the day so in some way I helped him through this tough time but I would take all his pain to have kept him in this world.
I didn't have him in my life for long enough but he made the biggest impact to me and everyone he met. He was loved by all and will be missed immensely.
Argyle, until I meet you on that rainbow bridge, I will never forget my soulmate.
The original story provided by Mrs. Wesley's mom, Dani, can be found here with more photos. Click here to view.
Mrs. Weasley (aka Ms. Donut) and I would like to check in and let you know how we're doing. Her good friends call her Molly.
Mrs. Weasley and I were truly soulmates from Day One. She was all smiles as she walked into her new studio apartment in San Francisco, and made herself right at home in my bed. But as much as she loved my bed, she refused to step foot in her own! So I bought her another…and another…no luck! Seriously…look at this madness.
Well, she insisted upon sleeping on the floor. No matter, to each their own. The important thing is that she began to earn her keep immediately, coming to work with me every day! As it turns out, Mrs. Weasley is a real whiz at Excel. And a real pupper-person, too; she became fast friends with her co-workers, a rag-tag group of old-timers and hungry young mutts looking to make a name for themselves at the office, and soon they were known as the Dream Team.
But before you think she's become a workaholic, please know that our office comes with plenty of perks — free massages, company-sponsored continuing education (she learned paw and beg in just one short month!), and unlimited free treats. She also gets plenty of PTO to travel around, and boy does she travel in style! Since she has arthritis, she can only go so far before her "dogs start barkin'", so she hops into her backpack and off we go to the next adventure! Sometimes she gets so cozy in the backpack it can be hard to coax her out!
Frankly, it didn't take long before Mrs. Weasley was a whole new mutt. Gone were the days when she wouldn't sleep in her bed, suddenly her bed was everything, and everything was her bed. If her bed was in the other room, she'd find a replacement — the umbrella you left open to dry, the towel you left on the floor. Hide yo' backpack, hide yo' laundry, nothing is safe from the nesting paws of Mrs. W.
Mrs. Weasley and I were both bummed to find out, just months into our new life together, that our job at Smucker's Pet was relocating to Ohio. We knew we were California girls through and through, so we buckled down and found a new job at Google. Mrs. Weasley is so excited to become a "Doogler" as they're called, and to be able to continue coming to work with me. It will be bittersweet to leave the city that brought us together, but we're both excited to relocate to San Jose where Mrs. Weasley can live that grass-under-the-paws, sun-on-the-fur suburban lifestyle.
We will check back in periodically as our adventures continue, but I wanted to give my warmest thanks that you brought this absolute darling into my life. I wish we had found each other sooner, but as they say: It's better late than never.
Where do I even start with little Miss Elle (aka Pom Pom #4016)? I adopted her from Muttville in September of 2016 and my life has forever been better! She is the light of my life and I'm so thankful to you guys for saving her and giving me the opportunity to rescue my best friend.
Elle makes everyone smile everywhere she goes! We go on daily walks (that she demands by spinning in constant circles :) and she receives countless "She's so cute!" "OMG look at that dog she's adorable!" comments that I honestly lose count! Everyone thinks she's a puppy and are always shocked when I tell them she's a senior pup but then believe me when they notice her cute gummy smile. She may just be 6 lbs and considered a "senior" but she is ready and willing at all times to try and fight the 100 lb German Shepard (or any dog for that matter. Little dog syndrome is a real thing!) in our neighborhood lol we always get a good laugh out of her brave relentless spirit, feisty is an understatement!
I could go on and on about Elle. I rescued her that Saturday in September but truly she has rescued me every day since. In a time in my life where every day felt like a big dark cloud was above me, Elle came and brought the sunshine back into my world and I'll be forever grateful for her!
Thank you Muttville for giving Elle a second chance at life and bringing her into mine. She may be my first senior dog but she definitely won't be my last!
It's been about 4 months since I "foster failed" and adopted Xena in late September, 2018. Not even 12 hours after my housemate took off for a family vacation in Seoul for two weeks, I went into Muttville to pick out a foster dog. From the foster page of the Muttville website, a close friend had pointed her out, that she had "wise, lucid eyes"- and as soon as I laid eyes on Xena in person, I knew I wanted to foster her and only her.
At that time, I did not think I could commit to giving Xena or any pet beyond succulents a forever home. Boy, was I wrong-Feelings of affection, adoration, just pure love all changed that. I wanted to, HAD to make our lives work. The first two weeks of fitting Xena into my already hectic life made it so hard, I would be lying if I said I didn't think about returning her. But the days passed by and it became the norm to see Xena hop off the couch and greet me at the front door.
Now I can't imagine a life without Xena. I look forward to coming home from work or from being out every day just to see her. In fact, I love Xena so much, I try and take her wherever I go (so far, just a Napa day trip!) and I'm looking forward to driving down to Carmel Beach and Big Sur with my family and her alongside for the holidays.
I picked up this little nugget after falling in love. She was scared and defensive on day one, but day two rolled around and she was all smiles! Chamomile (now renamed Maile) is a hospice dog but that doesn't stop her from living her best life ever. She will definitely have many memories of momma spoiling her! Thank you Muttville for the newest addition to my troop!
They shoulda called me Riley, 'cuz that's the life I'm livin'!!! It's been over one year since I came up to Hat Creek, and if I do say so myself, I think I made the right choice. I have a lovely creek in which to dip my toes when it gets a tad warm, a little snow in which to play during the winter, four goofy playmates (well six really – can't forget Cathy & Rich), jack rabbits to chase to help me keep my boyish figure, and a HUGE yard to romp in. Yup, I did alright here. Thanks for helping me find this place. I think I'm gonna stay.
It is with great sadness to inform you that our little girl Lucy passed away in late August from likely a brain tumor. We are incredibly devastated, and shocked that she is not with us any longer. She filled our lives with happiness. She was the littlest one in the pack, but she was the boss of everyone. Lucy was feisty, sweet and such a perfect, perfect little dog.
We love her so very much and our lives are not complete without her. Thank you for saving her and bringing her into our lives.
September marked Sadie's first adopt-a-versary. I wanted to give you a quick update on how far she has come in the past year.
Sadie is an incredibly tough girl. Thankfully, we have a wonderful vet that has worked tirelessly to get her healthy. I am happy to say that at her last checkup she was released with a clean bill of health. She has gained 6 pounds in the past year, had 14 teeth extracted (with two oral surgeries), she has been spayed, had a mammary tumor removed and has cleared all of the infections that riddled her body when we got her. Her fur has grown back so there are no longer bald spots on her back. We have even strengthened her back legs so she can go up and down our stairs on her own now. She even had her very own birthday party when she turned the big 11!
It seems everyday she gets better at something!
However, none of this would have been possible without you, your staff and your generous donors. This dog was at a crossroads and I strongly believe that she would not have survived had Muttville not taken her in. And because you did, we have had an incredible year with one of the sweetest dogs we have ever known. She is fully folded into our family and we can't imagine our lives without her.
Thank you again for the amazing work that you continue to do.

Landlords Pay Price for Breach of Right of Quiet Enjoyment
A recent case illustrates the risks landlords take if they refurbish tenanted buildings without taking sufficient account of the potential impact on their tenants.
Almost all commercial leases include a provision that tenants are entitled to occupy their premises in 'quiet enjoyment', which means the right to occupy without interference or nuisance. In the case in question, the tenant of a modern art gallery whose premises were encased in scaffolding during noisy building works was awarded damages and a substantial rent rebate by a judge on account of the effect on its business.
The company which ran the gallery paid £530,000 a year in rent. Before it signed the 20-year lease, it was aware that steps might be taken to develop the building's upper stories. However, it was unprepared for the scale of the work, which involved wrapping the building in scaffolding and plastic sheeting.
The gallery had been effectively incorporated into the building site and rendered all but invisible to passers-by. The company argued that its staff had been demoralised, and its potential clients deterred, by the noise of the building works. It launched proceedings against the landlords, alleging breaches of its right under the tenancy to quietly enjoy the premises.
The landlords, who were entitled under the lease to carry out the building project and to install scaffolding, said that they had done what they could to reduce disturbance to the gallery. The judge accepted that the noise was no greater than one would expect on any building site, although it was obviously annoying to customers and staff at what was supposed to be a peaceful and high class gallery.
However, he found that the way in which the scaffolding had been designed and erected paid no or little regard to the interests of the tenant, which had also not been kept informed about the magnitude of the works. In those circumstances, the landlords had not exercised their right reasonably.
The company was awarded a 20 per cent rent rebate – which came to more than £100,000 a year – back-dated to the date on which the scaffolding was erected. The landlords were also ordered to pay damages – equivalent to 20 per cent of the rent – from the date of the judgment until the building works were completed.

A little over a year ago I started to run.
We have a beautiful lake across the street from our home and my husband would take our daughters around it in the jogging stroller in the evenings. I thought it would be fun to go with him every so often, so I gave running a try.
I'd say I'm in pretty good shape. Before I added running to my exercise routine I was averaging four workouts a week. I did a lot of step, interval, spin, always ending with ab work. I was an aerobics instructor for Pete's sake. But running was a different beast for me. I went into it thinking Jesse and I would be able to have a nice conversation all the while enjoying the scenery. What ended up happening that first time out came nowhere near my expectations. I was huffing and puffing and trailing way behind Jesse and the girls. I think I ran for maybe five minutes and then felt like my lungs would find a very Alien – like way to get out of my body if I didn't stop ASAP.
So that first time out I walked and ran – mostly walked – my way around our little neighborhood body of water that at the time could've been Lake Superior as far as I was concerned. Did I get a good workout that day? I don't know; probably not. I might've gotten my heart rate up for awhile, but I had a difficult time controlling by breathing, I was tense and using most of my energy trying not to fall over. It felt good to be outside, though. Working out outside was something new for me, and while it was hard, that wasn't enough for me to not enjoy aspects of the run. I would be back at it again.
Eventually running has worked its way into my weekly exercise routine, and while I don't know how far I run, I can do it without stopping for my goal time. My breathing is now controlled, and after a bit I can feel my lungs opening up and my muscles loosen. I love that feeling.
There's always those first few minutes, though, when my body says, well, screams, "STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!" That's always a scary time for me. I have to decide to do something that I don't think I can do.
Around the same time I began running, I started looking for a writer's group. I had the same sort of thought process I had with running: it seemed like it would be a nice thing to have a group of people that would want to share writing and improve on it. Here's what happened: I looked around the DC area for writer's groups and when I found one that I thought I might be interested in joining, I contacted the group. The group would write back, and ask for published clips. I'd send some back and about a week later I'd get a message that read, "Thanks, but you're writing isn't a good fit for our group." This happened about four times.
I'm used to rejection. I submit work all the time and get rejected, but this stung. It's hard not to begin thinking it's not my writing; it's me. But I tried again. I belong to a group of bloggers that read and write about Children's Literature (many of them are authors, too). I thought I'd post a messgae to this group asking if there were any locals looking to be in a writing group. No replies. Well, that's not true. I got a response from a woman who told me she had no idea what came over me to write this sort of messgae because it was completely off topic. This group was for blogging about children's literature; not looking for a writer's group. That one stung, too. If my rejections from the other groups were bee stings, this was more like a yellow jacket sting. Or perhaps a baby hornet.
Then I tried a different approach. If no one wanted me in their writing group, I'd just create my own. I created a document, and put it up around the DC area. Nobody bit.
But there's this other voice, too. She's pretty quiet, but she keeps me running and writing. She's say things like, "Just put one foot in front of the other, Callie. That's all you have to do." Or, "Tell the story. Get it down, then you can walk away." I like this other voice. She doesn't seem to know about my difficulty with running, or my writing rejections.
Or maybe she doesn't care. Maybe she just likes being ouside and listening to music on her MP3 player really loudly. Maybe she likes arranging words on a piece of notebook paper and a BIC round stick blue ballpoint pen. I think she likes the feeling of sweat sliding down her back, or the rush of figuring something out through words.
This year Spring in DC came in starts and stops. One day I'd be wearing flip flops and the next I'd have my winter jacket back on. It was frustrating. I wondered when it would be here, or if it would come at all. Perhaps we'd just jump to the 101 degree weather I detest. But one thing I learned was that after more than a year of running, I can do it in all kinds of weather. Sometimes, it's through the rain and the cold that my runs are the most joyful.
It reminds me of a poem a former student wrote about the sadness of winter. "The world seems monotonous….the wind is biting," she writes.
Would it matter if it were warm?
The truth might be that I will never run long distances. And I may never be counted among the likes of Katherine Paterson or Gary D. Schmidt. But I think it's good to try something, to change something, to put myself in a situation that is so enjoyable it's worth it if I fail. Because when this happens, I believe I haven't failed at all.
Run for a great cause and be a part of an East Bay tradition!
Okay, I admit, I shop for running shoes even by color.


Remember when keyword stuffing was a thing? Marketers filled their web pages with the keywords they had identified to help them improve their rankings. They sometimes even hired an SEO firm to help them fill hidden areas of their sites with those words too. Their search engine rankings improved and everyone was happy, right?
Well, not everyone. Google figured out that websites were being artificially stuffed with keywords and that more keywords did not translate to a more useful site for the reader. Google wanted to provide better information for their users and changed their algorithm. Keyword stuffing went from a commonly used tactic to a black hat tactic overnight.
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is something all marketers are seeking. We all want pages from our websites to appear at the top of the list when our target audience searches for something we sell or a service we provide. However, keeping up with the ever-changing-world of SEO is a huge challenge.
Search engines themselves have become much more sophisticated. Their focus has become much more about context and not just about keywords. Understanding how your target audience actually uses keywords to search will be critical. Are they looking for a review or recommendation? Are they searching for how to advice?
Google is displaying results based on other searches the user has conducted. The search results are more personalized toward what Google thinks the user is actually trying to find.
Additionally, scary algorithm updates are being released on what seems like a regular basis. It's hard to know how to approach SEO.
What I said in the introduction is very true. Keyword stuffing is not a viable tactic for improving your search engine rankings. But to say keywords are dead is very much an overstatement.
A keyword strategy is just as important today as it was five years ago. What has changed is the way that strategy is executed and where it fits into your overall SEO approach. It is no longer the only thing – it is just one part of the puzzle.
Clearly, SEO has become much more complicated but at the same time, understanding how to approach it has become easier. The search engines are trying harder to please their users – people like you and me. If we approach SEO in the same way, always with our customers and prospects in mind, we should do ok.
Here are six things to help you please the search engines and rank higher all while providing helpful, useful content for your target audience.
Just because keyword stuffing is bad doesn't mean you don't need a keyword strategy. Keywords are very much alive.
Your keyword strategy is directly related to your buyer personas. Truly understanding who it is you are trying to attract will help you develop your keyword strategy. Select words that address the challenges they face. Long-tail keywords and phrases can be very effective. Your keywords should address questions your personas will ask about the problems or issues they are trying to solve. Remember, the search engines are looking for context within the content you're creating. Having clearly defined buyer personas has never been more important to SEO.
Once you determine your keywords and phrases, use them in your blog posts and web pages but be careful not to overuse them. Again, you're writing for real people not the search engines. Every piece of content you create should be helpful and educational to your personas.
It's also important to include your keywords in your URLs, meta descriptions, page titles, headlines and image alt descriptions. People still use words to search. The search engines may analyze them differently but words are still very important to your SEO strategy. Choose them wisely and use them appropriately.
I've mentioned it multiple times in this post. Context is key to SEO. More than anything else, the search engines want to provide search results that are helpful to the searcher.
If you haven't already, it is time to map out the buyer's journey your personas take when purchasing your product or service. This will help you develop a content strategy that addresses each phase. Creating a content map will also help you identify and track where there are holes in your strategy.
Knowing and understanding the journey will help you move your prospects through it and will help you provide the context your audience and the search engines are looking for.
In May, Google announced that more searches are being done from mobile devices than from personal computers for the first time in history. Just two weeks before that announcement, Google launched their mobile-friendly algorithm which ranks mobile-friendly sites higher in search rankings than those that are not.
If you haven't already, it is time to make the move to a mobile-friendly, responsive site. If more users are using mobile devices than PCs to search and the overall goal is to please the people, this is really a no brainer. It will please the people and the search engines.
People like to share great content and the search engines like content that gets shared. In fact, content that has more "likes" and "retweets" ranks higher in search engine results.
Write for your audience. Give them content that is so great they want to share it with their world. Make it as easy as possible for them to do that.
For a while, there has been some confusion about whether or not backlinks are bad. Spammy, irrelevant backlinks are bad. They're sort of like keyword stuffing. It was an attempt to artificially build the authority of your site and your content. In the old days, it wasn't about the quality of the links, it was all about the quantity. The search engines caught on to this practice and declared it bad. That's why there is confusion.
While those links are bad, legitimate backlinks to a related or authoritative site are good. The search engines still give points for having these good links.
Search engines like sites that are consistently providing useful content to their audience. A company blog can help you achieve this goal. Publish on a consistent and fairly frequent schedule to improve search rankings. A blog isn't the only way. Publishing new premium content on a consistent schedule will also help.
Additionally and more importantly, if you're creating useful content for your personas, they will begin to look forward to seeing the next post or new tool you develop for them which will hopefully lead to some of the other things I talked about earlier…shares and links.
What it all boils down to is this. Create content for your people. They'll be happy. That will make the search engines happy. The results will make you happy too.

includes batteries
Panasonic DMC-FX33 specifications
Buy the Panasonic DMC-FX33
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX33 features eight megapixels of resolution from a 1/2.5" CCD image sensor, coupled to a Leica-branded 3.6x optical zoom lens that provides a 28mm wide angle at f/2.8, and a 100mm telephoto at f/5.6. The FX33 includes a 2.5 inch LCD with 207,000 pixels for framing or review, but unfortunately, like all current LUMIX modes, no optical viewfinder is provided. There's also ISO sensitivity as high as ISO 1600 equivalent, with an extended maximum of 6400 equivalent in high sensitivity mode and a three frames-per-second burst mode to four frames at full resolution.
Other FX33 features include 27MB of built-in memory plus SD / MMC / SDHC card storage, both NTSC / PAL video, USB full-speed connectivity, and 21 scene modes which includes an "Underwater" scene mode, accounting for the fact that the company will offer a marine case for this camera. Power for the LUMIX DMC-FX33 comes courtesy of a proprietary Lithium Ion battery that's included in the product bundle, along with LUMIX Simple Viewer, PhotofunStudio -viewer-, ArcSoft Media Impression, and ArcSoft Panorama Maker software.
The Panasonic DMC-FX33 is one of the first three Panasonic digital cameras to introduce a couple of new technologies to the LUMIX line, the other cameras being the DMC-FX55 and DMC-FZ18 models announced simultaneously. That must-have feature in the digicam market for 2007 - face detection - makes its debut with Panasonic's incarnation able to detect up to 15 faces in a scene and then use this information to set focus and exposure appropriately. Face detection is enabled automatically in portrait or baby scene modes, and can cope with moving subjects. A second new feature is what's being called "Intelligent Auto" mode, which analyzes the scene and then automatically selects the scene mode (Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery or Night Portrait), and activates optical image stabilization, intelligent ISO, face detection and continuous autofocus functions as necessary.
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FX33 goes on sale from September 2007 for about US$300, and will be offered in silver, black, blue and brown finishes.

Some ailments of the feet are easily disguised and can go untreated for years. However, there are a few that need to be treated in the earliest stages to get any relief from the symptoms.
For example, fairly common diseases of the foot are known as toe deformities. These ailments are oftentimes caused by a muscle imbalance in the foot. This can be caused by several factors such as flatfeet, a traumatic injury, or disease of the toe joints.
Claw toe - which happens when the middle bone is pulled downward causing the proximal and middle phalanges to buckle upward.
Hammertoe - which is when the proximal phalanx causes the outer two joints of the toe to bend downward.
If left untreated, these ailments can lead to other problems such as calluses or scenarios where two bones fuse together making the only treatment a painful surgery which can require weeks of recovery.
This diagnosis is best treated in the initial stages to avoid advanced development that may not be fixed with surgery.

How is the UAE incubating a culture of entrepreneurship
Did you know that nearly 63% of employees in the UAE would like to start their businesses and be self-employed? From supporting economic diversification to rapidly rising technological innovations and the government's business and tax-friendly policies and initiatives, the UAE has emerged as the global hub for entrepreneurship and startups. Read on to learn how is it fostering a culture of entrepreneurship in the region.
Cherry Gupta
Updated: September 01, 2022, 10:29 IST
The last few years have reshuffled the world of work leading to rapid digital transformation in workplaces and the workforce shifting to remote and now hybrid.
In the wake of the great reshuffle, people are now moving on from the 9-to-5 corporate culture to becoming their own bosses, unleashing their skills and knowledge for a bigger impact, hence, giving rise to the trend of self-employment.
Hence, with talent no longer geographically confined, people are participating in the gig economy today, hence, influencing a paradigm shift in the workforce, workplace and work models.
According to Bayt.com and YouGov, nearly two-thirds (63%) of UAE respondents in the Entrepreneurship in the Mena survey would like to be self-employed or have their own business if given a choice.
In light of the economic turbulence in the region, lack of jobs and a growing desire for independence among the youth population in the last two years, self-employment is gaining much significance as s solution to the problem of widening the skill gap led to unemployment in the Middle East.
Hence, with freelancers, contractual employees and gig workers entering the walls of work, entrepreneurship seems to rise rapidly.
i. Why do people prefer to be 'self-employed'
The last two and a half years of the pandemic encouraged the Middle East people to do a U-turn and dive headfirst into self-employment opportunities to bolster income, advance education, and capitalise on the rising worldwide demand.
Self-employment doesn't just offer flexibility in work but also leads to work-life balance, personal fulfilment, the ability to give back to the community and high monetary gains, which emerges as the top reasons for preferring the same. It also opens up many new opportunities as freelancers can work with several companies on multiple projects.
Flexibility and work-life balance
From the office to remote to hybrid and back, people desire greater flexibility and work-life balance today. According to a recent report by Linkedin, 70% of workers in the Middle East are willing to quit jobs over a lack of flexibility. The increased burnout with amplified focus on well-being in the last two and a half years, about 44% of people in Bayt.com's survey mention the freedom to choose work-life balance as the top reason for being self-employed.
Hence, with the changing business landscape and the greater independence in what one wants to achieve (32%), people are shifting towards self-employment to lead a lifestyle that offers flexibility and promotes work-life balance.
Personal fulfilment: By giving back to the community
Guy Kawasaki, one of the Apple employees originally responsible for marketing their Macintosh computer line in 1984, once said, "the best reason to start an organisation is to make meaning - to create a product or service to make the world a better place."
While high monetary gains account for 39% of people switching to self-employment to support their lifestyle, this is rarely the only motivation for their laborious efforts. Today, outcomes matter more than outputs. The perspective of employment as a mere transactional arrangement is rapidly evolving.
Personal fulfilment (41%) and the ability to give back to the community (40%) emerge as a huge differentiating factors, as mentioned by Bayt.com's recent survey. In the same, UAE respondents perceive entrepreneurs to be opportunity-driven (82%) as it helps in creating new jobs (85%).
Hence, making a difference in the world and creating an impact is the fuel and a huge motivator for people that keeps them fired up, thus leading them to build their businesses today. With entrepreneurs rapidly changing the business world and new ways of working, self-employment continues to grow as a trend in the UAE.
ii. UAE entrepreneurial ecosystem: Incubating the culture of entrepreneurship
From supporting economic diversification to rising technological innovations to the government's business-friendly policies and initiatives, UAE is not only perceived as the global hub for entrepreneurship and startups but also is well-known for attracting highly-skilled talents to the region.
"Having a culture that not only welcomes but encourages entrepreneurship is going to be a key factor in the success story of the UAE," Dr Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, UAE Minister of State for Entrepreneurship and SMEs, states in the media.
Hence, with an integrated system to develop and accelerate the growth of entrepreneurial ideas, UAE benefits from a top-notch environment that supports and governs the entrepreneurship sector.
Following are the top reasons why UAE is booming as a business hub in the coming future:
The UAE has pioneered itself as a global innovator and technological advancer by adopting the latest technological trends and tools like blockchain, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and more.
Ahead of Vision 2030, the country's futuristic leadership is enabling digital transformation by making significant strides to transform itself into a sustainable digital economy, making Dubai a smart futuristic city where any entrepreneur would want to set up a business.
From leaping as the number one country for entrepreneurs (Global Entrepreneurship Index 2022) to various governmental initiatives, making the UAE a favourable destination for new startups and businesses.
Earlier this year, the UAE Ministry of Entrepreneurship and SMEs launched three initiatives under a new platform presented by the National Programme to provide more growth opportunities and market access. It has also launched Skill-Up, Startup, and Scale-Up initiatives to make the UAE an entrepreneurial nation.
100% expat ownership
Recently, the Expat Insider Survey 2022 revealed that the UAE ranked 6th out of 52 nations, making Dubai the top and most popular city for the second home of expats. Hence, with the recent amendments made in the UAE Commercial Company Law gave foreign nationals 100% ownership of businesses, extended visas and tax-friendly laws have encouraged entrepreneurs across the globe to live and establish a business in the UAE.
As the trend of self-employment and entrepreneurship continues to rise rapidly, the UAE's business ecosystem thriving today. It's worth noting that, it does not just provide an ideal environment for cultivating, nurturing and promoting the culture of entrepreneurship and start-ups in the region but also supports it through well-known favourable policies and initiatives, thereby strengthening the overall UAE's business ecosystem that will continue to attract entrepreneurs here for many years to come.

Q: How to remove dead threads from container I store threads in a container. With time, some of these threads will be running, and some of these will be dead. What i want to achieve is: automatically (or periodically) remove the dead (stopped) threads from the container.
What is the best way to do this?
Edit: I store my threads in a simple linked-list:
LinkedList<ServerThread> threadPool = new LinkedList<ServerThread>();

This container have to be dynamic, because with time, i have to add (and obviously delete) threads.
EDIT2: This is how i currently manage threads. As you can see, i wait for incoming connections, i don't know when it will arrive, but when it does, i have to handle it in a new thread.
while (!interrupted()) {
            try {
                Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
                if (portNumber == Server.SMTP_PORT_NUMBER) {
                    threadPool.add(new SMTPThread(clientSocket, db));
                    threadPool.getLast().setName("SMTP Thread " + ++threadCounter);
                } else {
                    threadPool.add(new POP3Thread(clientSocket, db));
                    threadPool.getLast().setName("POP3 Thread " + ++threadCounter);
                }

                threadPool.get(threadPool.size() - 1).start();

            } catch (SocketTimeoutException e) {
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
            }
        }

A: You should not maintaining your own list of threads unless there are specific reasons to do so.  I'd recommend using the excellent ExcecutorService classes that have been available since Java 5.  Something like the following:
// create a thread pool with 10 workers
ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
// or you can create an open-ended thread pool
// ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
for (Job job : jobsToDo) {
    threadPool.submit(new MyJobProcessor(job));
}
// once we have submitted all jobs to the thread pool, it should be shutdown
threadPool.shutdown();
...
public class MyJobProcessor implements Runnable {
    private Job job;
    public MyJobProcessor(Job job) {
        this.job = job;
    }
    public void run() {
        // process the job
    }
}

The thread-pool will take care of maintaining the running threads in the pool.  The threads will be re-used on the next job and will be shutdown when there are no more jobs in the pool and it has been shutdown.  You won't need to reap any dead threads yourself.

Edit:
In terms of the code you posted, to remove finished threads from your pool you should just run through them like:
 Iterator<ServerThread> iterator = threadPool.iterator();
 while (iterator.hasNext()) {
     ServerThread thread = iterator.next();
     if (!thread.isAlive()) {
        // remove it from the linked list
        iterator.remove();
     }
 }

I'd do this after each time you add a new thread to the pool.  Also, remember that LinkedList is not efficient to do a get(#) method call.  I'd recommend you tweak your code to do:
            Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
            ServerThread serverThread;
            if (portNumber == Server.SMTP_PORT_NUMBER) {
                serverThread = new SMTPThread(clientSocket, db);
                serverThread.setName("SMTP Thread " + ++threadCounter);
            } else {
                serverThread = new POP3Thread(clientSocket, db);
                serverThread.setName("POP3 Thread " + ++threadCounter);
            }
            serverThread.start();
            threadPool.put(serverThread);

A: You can use a Timer to schedule a periodic TimerTask that will run through the list and remove the dead threads. This is a sketch:
static final List<Thread> threads = new LinkedList<Thread>();
static final Timer timer = new Timer(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
  timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {public void run() {
    for (Iterator<Thread> it = threads.iterator(); it.hasNext();)
      if (!it.next().isAlive()) it.remove();
  }}, 0, 10000);
}

Janet Laurence is featured in Troubled Waters at the Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum of Art. Troubled Waters is a UNSW Art & Design exhibition curated by Dr Felicity Fenner. Originally exhibited at the University of New South Wales, the exhibition will travel to Adelaide in late April.
A major collaborative project between UNSW Science and UNSW Art & Design, Troubled Waters illustrates the complex ecosystem of rivers and oceans by tracing the Murray from its source at Corryong in Victoria to its mouth in South Australia's Coorong region. Works by multimedia artists, in close collaboration with leading environmental scientist Richard Kingsford, bring environmental research into the gallery to poetically interpret information not easily accessed by non-scientific audiences. The exhibition features work by Nici Cumpston, Tamara Dean, Bonita Ely, Georgia Wallace-Crabbe, Richard Kingsford, Andrew Belletty, and Janet Laurence.
Exhibition runs from April 28 to June 9.
Image: Janet Laurence and Andrew Belletty, River Journey, 2016, multimedia installation based on the audio and visual research archive of Professor Richard Kingsford.
Janet Laurence will also undertake a six-week residency at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) in Delmenhorst, Germany. As an international Fellow, Laurence will continue work on her research project Blood and Chlorophyll. My Heart Wears Flowers and Fruits in the Night, commenced late last year.
The HWK promotes the disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration of internationally-renowned scientists and young investigators by offering guest scholars (Fellows) the opportunity to concentrate on research projects for a certain space of time without the distractions of their regular academic responsibilities.
Laurence will undertake the residency from April to June this year.


If you are a computer genius or a basic computer user then you would usually know how to take a screenshot. If you are a mobile user then you must be knowing that you can take screenshot easily by pressing the volume down button and the home button. Its simple and easy but what if a visitor of your website doesn't know how to take a screenshot? Let's say a visitor of your site is facing a problem. He might think that this is because of virus or maybe malware that is affecting him. He may also think that the website is hacked and is not good to visit it again. Or he may see that some of the website's functionality is not working properly. So then he tries to contact you.
But what if the language he speaks is different from the one you speak? Now comes the communication problem so the best way to know the exact problem is by making the person take a screenshot of what problem he is facing. But if he doesn't know how to take a screenshot then this is where our tool comes into existence. Our tool lets you take a screenshot of a website and then show it to the user.
Every computer and laptops follow the same protocol of taking a screenshot. You have to press the "prt sc" button to take a screenshot and then open paint and paste it there. Some laptops have to press the "Fn" and then the "prt sc" button. If you are using the same model of computer and the website visitor knows your language then it would be easy to understand the problem. You just have to explain to him how to take a screenshot and email it to you and you can work on the bug.
But the process of clicking on the "prt sc" button then opening the paint application in windows and pasting it there. Then save the image to your desktop computer or laptop and then emailing it to you could be hectic and a long process. Thus to eliminate this we have created a tool that allows you to take a screenshot and download it to your pc with just a click of a button. Then the user can just upload it and send it through email.
Where do you need a screenshot generator?
Some website owners need to know what their website looks like to Google. Some of them want to see the timeline of their website. It is also used to send a report that there is some issue with the website and the developer can check the screenshot and fix the issue. If you are upgrading your website then you might take the before and after screenshot of your website. There are countless situations where one needs to take a screenshot of a website.

This summer, Secular AZ's Legal Committee has been reviewing the invocation policies and practices in every county's board of supervisors' meetings, and in the city council meetings of the cities that are county seats. It's a big project, requiring many public records requests and listening to hundreds of hundreds of recordings going back to the beginning of 2020.
The outcome of this research will be 1) the creation of a document which we will send across the state giving guidelines and best practices for the use of prayer in government meetings, and 2) letters sent to the places with the most egregious practices than run afoul of the First Amendment.
Legislative prayer is in a category by itself, as far as legal analysis goes. By today's standards, it would be seen as a violation of the Establishment Clause, a government endorsement of religion. However, it was already a common practice at the time the Bill of Rights was adopted and continued long after that. Thus, the Supreme Court has concluded, it was not considered a violation at the time and has a long been a tradition in our country, which makes it acceptable. Still, government bodies must follow some guidelines in their practices. There aren't precise rules; the court looks at different aspects of it — e.g. who is giving it, during what part of the meeting, is the policy fair to all religions in the jurisdiction, is there any attempt to proselytize, is one religion favored over others, does it denigrate other religions or nonbelievers – and decides if the overall effect of the practice strays outside these guidelines.
The appropriate purposes of legislative prayer are to solemnize the occasion; to ask for divine guidance for the lawmakers in working together to accomplish their business; to bear in mind nondenominational values such as a spirit of cooperation and harmony, gratitude, wanting the best for everyone. The primary audience is the legislators themselves, not the people who come before them.
One of 151 Christian prayers delivered in the AZ Legislature in 2021
Secular AZ's research has uncovered a huge variety of practices being used in Arizona. Commendably, some counties – Cochise, Coconino, and Graham, to mention a few – have no invocations. Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Bisbee are among the cities with no prayers at their council meetings. Secular Communities for Arizona considers this to be the best practice. One out of four Arizonans claim no religion. They are citizens, taxpayers, and voters who must bring their local grievances and requests to these bodies. They should not be made to feel second-class citizens by any government body because of their beliefs.
What kind of prayer could be alienating to a nonbeliever? Here are several examples, pulled from what we have seen the last two years across the state:
The vice chair of a Board of Supervisors (BOS) asks everyone present to stand and pray, then leads the prayer himself.
A supervisor requests everyone to join him in prayer by standing and bowing their heads, then ends his prayer with "in Jesus' name."
An invited guest prays to remind leaders that when they were sworn in, they agreed to work to work for Jesus
A county clerk asks for the blood of Jesus to cover our country
A councilman says that though we come from all backgrounds and denominations, we're all God-fearing believers (thanks to Jesus)
An invited pastor says we have "strayed," that we must regain our "rightful place" in the White House, the courthouse, and the schoolhouse, and wishes evil on those leading our country into socialism.
A mayor's wife, a pastor, prays for all gathered to feel Jesus' presence
A county manager prays that legislators make all their decisions in accordance with God's will in Jesus' name.
A mayor asks everyone to stand and then prays: "Our father in heaven, lord of all, Jesus, we want to see you high and glorified."
A BOS chair asks everyone to stand, then prays about the unrest in our country, asking that God "frustrate the protestors who are destroying it."
Every single invocation for the past eighteen months has been done in Jesus' name.
As appalling as some of these sound, if they are occasional deviations from an overall acceptable practice, the court will overlook them. That's why so much data must be collected: to get a broad sense of the practice. This work is ongoing, but our letter-writing will be starting soon.

MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database
George Moody , Roger Mark
Published: Nov. 4, 2000. Version: 1.0.0
Moody GB, Mark RG. A new method for detecting atrial fibrillation using R-R intervals. Computers in Cardiology. 10:227-230 (1983).
This database includes 25 long-term ECG recordings of human subjects with atrial fibrillation (mostly paroxysmal).
Of these, 23 records include the two ECG signals (in the .dat files); records 00735 and 03665 are represented only by the rhythm (.atr) and unaudited beat (.qrs annotation files.
The individual recordings are each 10 hours in duration, and contain two ECG signals each sampled at 250 samples per second with 12-bit resolution over a range of ±10 millivolts. The original analog recordings were made at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital (now the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) using ambulatory ECG recorders with a typical recording bandwidth of approximately 0.1 Hz to 40 Hz. The rhythm annotation files (with the suffix .atr) were prepared manually; these contain rhythm annotations of types (AFIB (atrial fibrillation), (AFL (atrial flutter), (J (AV junctional rhythm), and (N (used to indicate all other rhythms). (The original rhythm annotation files, still available in the old directory, used AF, AFL, J, and N to mark these rhythms; the atr annotations in this directory have been revised for consistency with those used for the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database.) Beat annotation files (with the suffix .qrs) were prepared using an automated detector and have not been corrected manually. For some records, manually corrected beat annotation files (with the suffix .qrsc) are available. (The .qrs annotations may be useful for studies of methods for automated AF detection, where such methods must be robust with respect to typical QRS detection errors. The .qrsc annotations may be preferred for basic studies of AF itself, where QRS detection errors would be confounding.) Note that in both .qrs and .qrsc files, no distinction is made among beat types (all beats are labelled as if normal).
Until November 2000, only one of the signal files (for record 04936) was available. The original 9-track tapes from 1983 for these records have now been read to produce the other signal files in this directory. In a few cases (04043, 08405, and 08434) isolated data blocks from the original tapes were unreadable. In these cases, the missing data, corresponding to 10.24 seconds for each missing block, have been replaced with a flat segment of samples with amplitudes of zero. See notes.txt for details.
In March 2014, Henian Xia reported that the .qrs annotations were not aligned with the ECG waveforms in record 07859, and investigation showed that 2569 samples appeared to be missing from the beginning of the record. The original annotation file has been renamed 07859.qrs-, and a realigned version of it (without its initial 14 annotations) is available as 07859.qrs. A correctly aligned, manually reviewed annotation file was also produced at that time, and is now available here as 07859.qrsc.

The Weeknd Connects Past with Present in "Snowchild" Music Video
July 22, 2020 August 30, 2020 Hidden Jams 0 Comments After Hours, Blinding Lights, Chromatics, Doja Cat, Heartless, In Your Eyes, Music Video, New Album, New Songs, Scared To Live, Snowchild, The Weeknd, Until I Bleed Out 9 min read
The Weeknd's recent album, After Hours, has been one of the highlights of 2020 so far. Following several music videos that told a complete story, from "Heartless" to "Until I Bleed Out" – plus remixes of "Blinding Lights" and "In Your Eyes" – The Weeknd is back with an animated clip for "Snowchild." A more introspective and mellow song, its video walks us through The Weeknd's full career to date.
"Snowchild" has a gentle start before percussion crashes in. The Weeknd reminisces about dark moments when he was just 16, those troubles helping pave the way for his rocky adulthood. The melody is flatter, and the R&B tune stays low and moody. Our only respite comes from futuristic blips and a sunny pause for laughter and the sound of birdcalls. This is a harder song that may take some more time to settle, but lyrically, it dives into some deep and earnest territory.
The new animated music video follows The Weeknd through each of his album eras, starting with his mixtape trilogy. Fans will recognize not only The Weeknd's different looks (his hair is usually a clear giveaway), but also the various characters and imagery that accompanied each era. He walks through a house of balloons, encounters the creepy man from the music videos for "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face," then ends up in his mansion with panthers and glowing crosses. A colony of bats carries him away until he walks all the way to the casino that kicked off the After Hours era. It's a great video – especially for longtime fans – that matches the lyrics well.
Watch the animated music video for "Snowchild" below:
You can hear "Snowchild" and more on all versions of The Weeknd's new album, After Hours. Stream or buy the album from all the major music providers here.
In addition to the singles "Heartless," "Blinding Lights," and "In Your Eyes," The Weeknd also shared the title track as a promo single, performed the ballad "Scared To Live" on SNL, and shared a music video for "Until I Bleed Out."
Early in May, he also shared a music video for his "Blinding Lights" remix with Chromatics. Soon after, we got one for the remix of "In Your Eyes" featuring Doja Cat.

GMR Infra jumps on asset monetisation
The announcement was made during market hours today, 5 July 2019.
Meanwhile, S&P BSE Sensex was up 18.69 points or 0.05% at 39,926.75.
On BSE, 5.07 lakh shares were traded in GMR Infrastructure counter, compared to a 2-week average of 7.45 lakh shares. The share price hit an intraday high of Rs 15.98 and an intraday low of Rs 15.49. It hit a 52-week high of Rs 21.50 on 3 September 2018 and a 52-week low of Rs 13.45 on 5 February 2019.
Shares of GMR Infrastructure rose 4.58% in three trading sessions to its current market price of Rs 15.74 today, 5 July 2019 from a recent closing low of Rs 15.05 on 2 July 2019.
GMR Infrastructure said it executed share subscription and purchase agreement, shareholders agreement and other related transaction documents with TRIL Urban Transport (part of Tata Group), an affiliate of GIC and SSG Capital Management for a proposed investment of Rs 8,000 crore in GMR Airports, a subsidiary of the company. The proposed investment amount of Rs 8,000 crores will consist of Rs. 1,000 crore equity infusion in GAL and Rs 7,000 crore towards purchase of GAL's equity shares from GIL and its subsidiaries.
GMR will now focus on potential restructuring of the business by way of a demerger of its energy, highways, urban infrastructure & transportation businesses, leading to separation of its airport business, subject to customary consents including corporate & regulatory approvals.
GMR Infrastructure announced after trading hours yesterday, 4 July 2019, that it signed a definitive share purchase agreement with Adani Power for the sale of the entire stake 47.62% in GMR Chhattisgarh Energy (GCEL), held by its wholly owned subsidiary GMR Generation Assets (GGAL). The consortium lenders of GCEL adopted the change in management as a resolution plan (RP) in accordance with the guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India. Lenders followed a detailed bidding process and selected APL as the final bidder. GCEL has received 100% approvals of all lenders for implementation of the RP. Implementation of RP will lead to a significant deleveraging for the GMR Group.
On a consolidated basis, GMR Infrastructure reported a net loss of Rs 128.95 crore in Q4 March 2019 as compared to a net profit of Rs 4.87 crore in Q4 March 2018. Net sales declined 5.1% to Rs 1,879.40 crore in Q4 March 2019 over Q4 March 2018.
GMR Infrastructure is a global infrastructure conglomerate with interests in airport, energy, transportation and urban infrastructure. It is listed on Indian stock exchanges.

Basis for Listing
Although Marsilea vestita (hairy waterclover) is widespread in the western half of the U.S. it is extremely rare in Minnesota where it reaches the eastern edge of its range. It was proposed as a special concern species in Minnesota in 1984, because it was known from only three historical records. The records were from shallow pools on Sioux quartzite near Luverne in Rock County and near Pipestone and Jasper in Pipestone County (Inner Coteau Subsection). In a monograph on the genus, Johnson (1993) also reported specimens from near Gary in Norman County, Crookston in Polk County, and Roscoe in Stearns County. It has been revealed that those reports were in error and have been discounted. Marsilea vestita was not listed in 1984 because the survival of the species in Minnesota could not be confirmed at that time.
Field surveys have since confirmed the continued existence of two of the historically known populations and, in the process, discovered a small number of previously unknown populations (Minnesota River Prairie Subsection). All Minnesota populations are quite small and occur in small microhabitats that are very limited in extent. It was also believed that nearly all the suitable habitat had been searched and few, if any, additional populations would be discovered. For these reasons, M. vestita was listed as an endangered species in Minnesota in 1996.
Marsilea vestita is considered a true fern, though the shape of the leaf outwardly resembles that of a four-leaf clover. That is the source of the common name 'waterclover'. It is a semiaquatic, deciduous perennial forming diffuse or dense colonies (clones) through the production of slender stolons that grow over the surface of the ground. The roots occur only at nodes along the stolons. The leaves arise singly from the nodes at intervals of 1.5—5 cm (0.6-2.0 in.) They may be floating on the surface of the water or rising above the surface on slender erect petioles that can be up to 20 cm (8 in.) long. The leaf blade is divided into 4 equal segments very similar to the leaf of a clover, though the surface of M. vestita leaves usually has hairs, those of a true clover do not. The reproductive structure is a sporocarp that is about the size of a pea and is initially covered with coarse, appressed hairs. It grows on a short stalk from the base of the petiole.
In Minnesota, M. vestita seems to occur only in direct association with ephemeral rainwater pools on outcrops of Sioux quartzite that occur in a prairie setting. The plants root in thin layers of sediment (organic and otherwise) that accumulate over time. This microhabitat is sparsely vegetated and receives direct sunlight. The seasonal fluctuation of water levels in the shallow pools appears to be an essential part of the habitat. However, the exact nature or timing of seasonal changes that favor M. vestita are not completely understood.
In states west of Minnesota, such as North and South Dakota, the habitat requirements of M. vestita are not nearly so restrictive. It is reported to occur in wet ditches, abandoned agricultural fields, and similar seasonally wet habitats that may have a history of human activity.
Biology / Life History
Marsilea vestita has sterile, photosynthetic leaves with a short fertile stalk attached near the base of the petiole. The fertile stalk bears the male and female reproductive structures that develop within a unique organ called a sporocarp. This is a small firm pea-size structure that can remain dormant in the soil for many years, even decades. Germination of the spores occurs within the sporocarp when it breaks open and water enters.
This species also reproduces asexually by means of long rhizomes, or stolons, that grow over the surface of the ground and root at the nodes. The stolons can grow more than a meter (a yard) in length and produce several branches. The stolon dies during the winter, but at least some of the rooted nodes survive and resume growth the following spring.
Known populations of M. vestita appear to occur only in small seasonal wetlands that develop in spring and early summer. It may go dormant by late summer if the wetlands become dry. If the required habitat conditions do not return the following year, the population can survive as durable sporocarps that remain viable until conditions become more favorable. Because of this ability, M. vestita may seem ephemeral, easy to find some years and hard to find other years. However, established populations are relatively long-lived. Populations are known to have persisted at Pipestone National Monument (Pipestone County) for at least 80 years (and counting) and at Blue Mounds State Park (Rock County) for at least 73 years (and counting). Both of these populations are probably centuries old.
Conservation / Management
The greatest threat to known M. vestita populations in southwestern Minnesota are activities that degrade or destroy ephemeral pools on bedrock outcrops, such as mining, overgrazing by livestock, and herbicide applications for weed control in surrounding grasslands. Management of surrounding grasslands by fire should have no lasting impact on populations of M. vestita since rooted nodes and sporocarp reserves of M. vestita likely occur where the vegetation is too sparse to carry a fire.
Best Time to Search
The best time to find Marsilea vestita on outcrops in southwestern Minnesota is from mid-May through June, but plants may also be seen in pools as late as September in years with adequate rainfall to maintain rainwater pool habitats.
Conservation Efforts in Minnesota
Several of the known M. vestita populations are on public lands including Pipestone National Monument, Touch the Sky Unit of the Tallgrass National Wildlife Refuge, and Split Rock Creek State Park. Pipestone National Monument staff have made an extensive effort to mark plant locations, prevent damage by visitors, and consult experts on management strategies.
