I love Spring. I love pups. And I love taking pictures. Here are pictures from photo shoots this spring with Jack and his good buddies, Spec and Girlfriend.
It was Jack's eyes that caught our attention when he was a tiny puppy. And when his eyebrows aren't too long, you can still see them. Aren't they the cutest eyes? He's wearing his St. Patrick's Day bandana in this photo.
Jack's buddy, Spec, stays with us a couple of days a week. (He stays with us when Sandy, his human, is traveling.) Spec is 13 years old very wise. He's also nearly deaf and doesn't seem to mind Jack's sonic bark. He's a handsome guy.
Girlfriend is the dog next door. Girlfriend is a miniature Schnoodle (Schnauzer and Poodle mix). She was Jack's first friend after we brought him home. He has great fun playing with her. I took these pictures of Girlfriend one night when the light was so perfect and the grass so green.
Girlfriend's got a hurt knee, so she and Jack don't get to play together very often. Jack's pretty sad about it. When Jack arrived, he was smaller than her. She still can't figure out how he got so big.
If you are still reading after all this canine photo love, thank you — and here's one last picture of Jack. Did I mention that I love, love, love the Spring. And pups. And taking pictures.
Beth, you should write children's books:) They would adore stories about Jack and company.
That Jack sure is a handsome guy !

Q: Trigger.io native module - Method not supported on this platform I have developed a custom native module to keep the screen awake while in my application.
After testing the module with forgeInspector, and adding it to my application via the trigger.io toolkit, this error shows in the console log:
[DEBUG] Returned: {"content":{"message":"Method not supported on this platform","type":"UNAVAILABLE","subtype":null},"callid":"CE53E970-807C-4179-8F02-BCAF4950A0AB","status":"error"}

Using JavaScript, I am calling the module by the following:
forge.stayawake.showAlert('test alert box',function(){alert('success');},function(e){ alert(e); });

My module.js is:
forge.stayawake = {
    showAlert: function (text, success, error) {
        forge.internal.call('stayawake.showAlert', {text: text}, success, error);
    }
};

io.trigger.forge.android.modules.stayawake reads
package io.trigger.forge.android.modules.stayawake;

import io.trigger.forge.android.core.ForgeApp;
import io.trigger.forge.android.core.ForgeParam;
import io.trigger.forge.android.core.ForgeTask;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;

public class API {
    public static void showAlert(final ForgeTask task, @ForgeParam("text") final String text) {
        if (text.length() == 0) {
            // Error if there is no text to show
            task.error("No text entered");
            return;
        }
        task.performUI(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ForgeApp.getActivity());
                builder.setMessage(text).setCancelable(false).setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        task.success();
                    }
                });
                AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
                alert.show();
            }
        });
    }
}

As a control test, to make sure the module is actually loading properly I tried renaming the "stayawake.set" to "foo.test" and I get the exact same message.
I have also reverted everything back to the initial download of inspector. If I include that in my main application and call the default "showAlert" I get still get the error Method not supported on this platform. Again, everything works fine when testing with inspector.
I have followed all of the instructions found at trigger.io and still no go.
Am I just not calling my module the correct or way?

A: After receiving the same error in the same situation, I realised that I'd missed the Android building step of the module:
https://trigger.io/docs/current/api/native_modules/the_basics.html

Building/packaging your module
Android
To build and export your module
  to be included in an actual Forge app:

*

*Right click the src folder and choose Export...

*Use the wizard to export the contents of the folder as a JAR

*You must include the generated class files and resource in the JAR (Java source is not required)

*Save that jar as android/module.jar in your module folder. (module_name/module/android/module.jar)

Here's a screenshot of my settings:

I was then able to upload the module and include it in my project successfully, without the error above.

Clyde Davis
Leaders in medical advertising are always multitalented individuals. You cannot head up organizations of the scope of ad agencies and not have some capacity for all the ingredients of the job—creativity, marketing, research, organization, finance, recruitment, and, the intangible, leadership. Members of the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame have been outstanding in certain of the disciplines of our business—copy, design, entrepreneurial judgment, etc—but they have always possessed instincts for the other pieces of the equation that produce a successful medical advertising organization. Even given this generalization, the mix of proficiencies evident in Clyde P. Davis' career puts him in a special place among MAHF members. Davis is a fascinating combination of what appear to be diverse talents.
Davis got his start when a teacher recognized his ability and pushed him out of his South Side Chicago environment into an art program at the University of Illinois. He had to work his way through college, doing everything from washing dishes to painting houses. Once in the commercial world, he entered pharmaceutical advertising through the training grounds of McAdams, Sudler & Hennessey, and L.W. Frohlich, before moving to Klemtner Advertising. There, and at Cline Davis & Mann, he worked on Pfizer products, winning recognition for his work within the industry and at creativity competitions. He won a Clio for the first Rx ad ever honored.
The following work established Davis as a creator with a strong feel for graphic imagery and also a flare for striking sales force materials:
Terramycin — "Experienced Traveler" photo series on patients around the world.
Spectrobid — peaking antibiotic blood levels illustrated by silver-plated railroad spikes that representatives dropped off with MDs.
Vistaril — cardiovascular advantage demonstrated by a glass heart in the grip of a vise.
Vibramycin — full body x-rays on the "tissue is the issue" theme.
Glucotrol — visualizing "spilled sugar" in journal inserts and promotion.
Against this art director competence, it's interesting that Davis has also acted as CDM's financial executive—an unlikely role for someone from the creative side of the business. Says Morgan Cline, his long-term partner, "At CDM, he quickly assumed the role of chief financial officer. That was one of his major, major interests. Finance was a secret, long held love of his and he jumped to the helm of the financial effort of the agency and ran it wonderfully."
Jack Slonaker, chairman and COO at CDM, tells of Davis' financial skill in finalizing a commitment to new office space: "He would not sign. He was waiting, waiting. And while he was waiting they were throwing more things in to sweeten the pot. He was a great negotiator and always made things happen on his terms."
Carol DiSanto, a CDM partner and director of client services, remarks on the apparent paradox: "How can such an unbelievable creative person be so in tune with the bottom line in finance, stocks, and investments? The guy's a master."
Davis displayed traits common to agency leaders. He expected excellence.
"His standards are high," says Cline, "and he had a short attention span for people who did not come forward quickly with what he liked. He would demand a lot [but] Clyde was never willing to ask anything of anyone that he wouldn't do himself."
On Davis' expectations, Ralph Skorge, a CDM partner and creative director for art, adds, "A tough guy to work for. But it makes you better. I learned a lot. He wasn't generous with praise. But when you got it, you were hooked. It was an addicting drug to have him say 'That's good.' This guy recognized great work and when you did it. He praised you, and you knew it."
Davis also showed leadership in advocating new technology for CDM and in being aggressive in competing with consumer agencies for DTC business. Ed Wise, the agency's president and CEO, describes him as "something of a visionary."
"His creativity was expressed in a lot of ways, but one of them was in expanding the business in new directions in terms of DTC, the computer, advancing computer abilities, in film and video," explains Wise. "He was always looking for trends and trying to put the agency on the cutting edge."
Cline seconds this view of Davis: "He wanted us to assume new abilities, new roles. We bought all the equipment to edit our own films when we started doing DTC. He was the one who made this enormous investment in computers when people were just still dabbling in them."
His colleagues describe Davis as an extremely soft spoken. Frank Hughes, an MAHF member who worked with him at Klemtner, says he speaks "pianissimo and so you are leaning in to hear him." People have trouble remembering when he even raised his voice. In fact, Cline's opinion is that Davis would lower his voice to attract attention and make his points more emphatic, which proved effective in high-decibel meetings.
Davis is a complex meld of a drive for success, creativity, business acumen, low-key reserve with an underlying aggressiveness, demanding standards, and a commitment to new technology that has all come together. What has made it work? Ed Wise explains, "Clyde was very much driven by the idea of creating something beautiful, creating something that other people would admire, creating something that was great. I think whatever he attacked in his life aggressively and in a disciplined manner [was] something that people would be attracted to and stand back and say that was a contribution. He saw the agency as one of his creative canvasses as much as it was one of his ads."

Q: How to deny database access to login user sa and windows mode in SQL Server 2008 R2 I have create a username 'Rohi' and password 'Rohi@21' in SQL Server 2008 R2.
Also set their roles like sysadmin and db_owner. Also have create the database and tables for this user. All this things I have done programatically using vb.net.
Now I am facing the issue that How to prevent the database from SQL server users like sa and Windows mode?
This database should only be accessible to user Rohi and not to anyone else.
The database should not be accessible to SQL Server Logins (SA) or Windows Authentication Logins.
Is there a way to deny access to the database for other users ?

A: *

*Contact Microsoft

*Have them rewrite SQL Server.

This is the ONLY way to do it. By design, the SA and other server level administrators have access to all databases. If this is not acceptable, the only way to get this changed is to change the design of SQL Server.


The outside world is pitch dark and sleeping. Birds don't chirp and the cars don't drive past. When you look up, stars faintly glimmer light years away. Tree branches, dance in the moonlight. It feels peaceful, and at the same time full with mystery, possibilities and the energy of renewal. The breeze has secrets to tell you, whispers silently through the trees.


NEW YORK (AP) — Providence kept its NCAA Tournament hopes alive and found yet another way to beat Butler.
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Fairfield has fired coach Sydney Johnson after a 9-22 season.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Providence coach Ed Cooley knows how to beat Xavier, but he'd never done it at the Cintas Center. Finally, he could leave town with a good feeling.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Providence went all the way down to Texas to get a big win before heading back into the Big East.
Alpha Diallo scored 20 points and Isaiah Jackson scored 12 to send the Friars to a tough 71-65 victory over Texas on Friday night. The Friars earned some swagger they can take back home.
"There's no soft things in our program," Providence coach Ed Cooley said. "I don't like soft."
BOSTON (AP) — Providence coach Ed Cooley's team needed a clutch 3-pointer at the end of regulation.
In overtime, it was a lot easier: All his players had to do was hit some late foul shots.
Isaiah Jackson hit five free throws in the closing 33.9 seconds of OT and finished with 19 points, lifting Providence to a 100-95 victory over Boston College on Tuesday night.
"It came down to a couple of plays and we were fortunate to make the good plays," Cooley said. "We were very fortunate to win."
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Ed Cooley doesn't plan to watch the game tape from Providence's 59-50 win over rival Rhode Island on Saturday.
But he saw enough to know his young team grew up a lot — particularly on defense.
Freshman A.J. Reeves had 15 points and Providence (6-2) survived a long field-goal drought in the second half to hold off their Ocean State rival.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The death of a student at Providence College has prompted the school to cancel an annual celebration that kicks off the men's and women's basketball seasons.
The "Late Night Madness Celebration" had been scheduled for Saturday night.
1. A No. 7 or worse seed has reached the Elite Eight each of the past years, including two teams in 2017. This seasons surprise could be No. 10 seed Providence, the only team in the country with three victories over top-five opponents (Xavier twice and Villanova). Plus, how can you not root for Coach Ed Cooley after he wore a towel on his backside to cover his ripped pants in the Big East tourney final?
NEW YORK (AP) — Even ripping his pants halfway through Big East Tournament championship game couldn't spoil the feeling Providence coach Ed Cooley had about his team.
Sure it hurt for the fifth-seeded Friars to lose to second-seeded and No. 2 Villanova 76-66 in their third straight overtime game. That could not take away from what Providence accomplished at Madison Square Garden this week.
NEW YORK (AP) — After spending a season overcoming injuries, disappointments and doubters, Providence made another statement with one of the greatest comebacks in Big East Tournament history.
Alpha Diallo hit a go-ahead jumper with 2:22 left in overtime and fifth-seeded Providence rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit and stunned top-seeded and No. 3 Xavier 75-72 in the conference semifinals on Friday night.
NEW YORK (AP) — Providence is off the NCAA Tournament bubble, even if Friars coach Ed Cooley insists his team was never on it.
Kyron Cartwright hit two go-ahead free throws with 1:32 left in overtime and added a crucial basket with 16 seconds to go and fifth-seeded Providence took a big step toward a fifth straight NCAA with a 72-68 win over fourth-seeded Creighton in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament on Thursday.
NEW YORK (AP) — Maliek White elevated from behind the arc and fired. As the ball rotated through the stillness into the hoop the shot clock sounded.
No matter. The shot was good. And as he ran up court, White shook his head in a fashion that recalled Michael Jordan's head shake after drilling six 3-pointers in Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals.
While White's head shake may not join Jordan's in the pantheon of the sport's great moments, that hardly mattered to White, his coaches and his teammates.
NEW YORK (AP) — Among the truisms of sports is that one year's results have nothing to do with how a team will perform in a new season.
It is an adage that Providence coach Ed Cooley espoused, for all intents and purposes after Rodney Bullock scored 17 points to lift the Friars to a 77-70 win over Washington in the second game of the 2K Classic on Thursday night.
"I'm just glad we hung on," Cooley said. "We're trying to learn about our team. It was a pretty competitive game."
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Providence brought plenty of energy to its matchup with No. 14 Minnesota. However, the Golden Gophers had the toughest player on the court, and he showed up when it counted.
Jordan Murphy had 23 points and 14 rebounds, and Minnesota outlasted the Friars 86-74 on Monday night.
Murphy scored 15 points in the second half, leading the Gophers back from a three-point halftime deficit. Nate Mason added 17 points and Amir Coffey finished with 15.
As far as UConn coach Kevin Ollie is concerned, it's an ideal situation.
There's no better way to prepare for a challenging early-season basketball schedule than to play an old Big East and New England rival during the exhibition season.
Plus, it's for a good cause.
Proceeds from Wednesday's exhibition against Providence at Mohegan Sun Arena (7 p.m.) will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to aid hurricane victims.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Providence College men's basketball team will play the University of Connecticut in an exhibition game to benefit hurricane victims.
The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.
Providence College says all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to benefit hurricane victims. Tickets are currently on sale.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Kyron Cartwright's winning 3-pointer against Creighton could turn out to be one of Providence's most memorable shots of the season if the Friars make the NCAA Tournament.
Cartwright's 3 from the right wing with 2.2 seconds left gave the Friars a 68-66 victory over the 23rd-ranked Bluejays on Wednesday night.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Providence coach Ed Cooley looked at his team after an overtime loss on the road and decided it needed rest more than practice.
Giving his players two days off from running, Cooley told them to think about the little things that could help them win the game. They worked on free throws and had some fun shooting, instead.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rodney Bullock scored a career-high 36 points and Providence defeated New Hampshire 76-62 on Wednesday night.
Bullock was 12 of 21 from the field, including 5 of 8 on 3-pointers, and also had a team-high six rebounds for the Friars (5-2). Kyron Cartwright added 12 points and four assists and Jalen Lindsey scored 11 points.
NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Providence got physical with No, 7 Virginia and scored 52 points, the most anyone has had this season against the nation's top-ranked defense. It wasn't enough.
Virginia beat the Friars 63-52 to win the Emerald Coast Classic on Saturday night.
NICEVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rodney Bullock scored 18 points and Emmitt Holt added 16 to lead Providence to a come-from-behind 60-51 victory over Memphis on Friday night in the semifinals of the Emerald Coast Classic.
The Friars (4-1) play No. 7 Virginia, a 74-41 winner over Iowa, on Saturday in the title game after the two losing teams square off for third place.
Providence coach Ed Cooley was magnanimous in victory, recalling that his Memphis counterpart, Tubby Smith, has been a longtime mentor.
FAIRFIELD — Past will meet present on Oct. 5 when Fairfield University will welcome Ed Cooley, a former Stags men's basketball coach and current head coach of Providence College, to campus to join current head coach Sydney Johnson for an evening of basketball talk. The event will take place in the lower level of the Barone Campus Center on the Fairfield University campus. The event will run from 8 to 9 p.m.


An order issued in the Zimmer NexGen knee implant lawsuit sets opening statements in the first bellwether trial to begin October 13, 2015.
When a case involves large numbers of plaintiffs filing suit against the same defendants, the lawsuits are often consolidated into what is known as a multi-district litigation proceeding, or MDL.The parties of the MDL choose representative cases to proceed all the way to trial, rather than having each individual case go to trial. This conserves the courts' resources and ensures consistency in how the cases are treated. These representative "bellwether" cases help the parties determine how to resolve the hundreds or thousands of similar cases that are not tried.
Over a thousand cases have been consolidated in an Illinois federal court, all of which allege problems with Zimmer's NexGen high flex knee replacements. One component of the NexGen system, the MIS Tibial device, was recalled to allow Zimmer to make changes to the surgical technique after receiving reports of loosening.
Even though they were not recalled, the lawsuit also alleges that Zimmer is responsible for defects within the LPS-Flex and CR-Flex femoral components that are part of the Zimmer NexGen knee implant system.
Zimmer issued a recall in March of this year of the Persona Trabecular Metal Tibia Plate, part of another knee replacement system.
This device, which entered the market in late 2012, was also recalled due to reports of loosening.
Loosening of the components of a joint replacement device sometimes require that patients undergo a second operation, or revision surgery, to correct the problem.
If you or someone you know has suffered from pain caused by loosening of your Zimmer knee replacement, contact the attorneys at Egerton Law to discuss your potential claim. Call us at 1-800-800-4LAW or fill out a web contact form to have a products liability attorney from Egerton Law call you. The consultation is free of charge, and may help to provide you with the answers for which you have been searching.

APRNs Are Making Up for a Shortage of Doctors and RNs… While Still Being Expected to Fill Their Core Role

American healthcare is facing a number of crises on multiple fronts, but none of them affect nurses quite as much as the current and growing shortage of qualified caregivers.
The numbers are stark and unambiguous. In some hospitals, major departments are unable to fill up to 20 percent of their nursing positions today. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2024 the United States will have a shortfall of about a half million nurses to fill open positions.
By now, we all know the factors behind the trend…
An increasingly insured population that can afford more and better healthcare coverage.
The aging Boomer demographic is experiencing more age-related and chronic conditions demanding medical care.
A shortage of faculty and enrollment slots at nursing schools
Making matters worse, there's a doctor shortage being driven by many of those same factors. Traditionally, nurses have been asked to do more and more as doctors have become busier and busier. Advanced Practice Registered Nursing is one outgrowth of that, but APRNs are starting to feel the squeeze now, too.
Staffing Shortages Offer Mixed Blessings To Advanced Practice Nurses
The chronic staffing issue in healthcare is cutting both ways for APRNs. There's no shortage of hours available. And the shortage of qualified doctors is much of the force driving new calls for APRNs to take on more and more responsibility in the medical world.
This is becoming clear as legislatures rush to expand the licensing and scope of practice for APRN's across the country.
On the other hand, there are increasing demands that come with those increased responsibilities to see more patients and get more work done, and do it all in less and less time.
Worse, some APRNs are being asked to fill not only their new advanced practice role, but to continue to function as a basic RN as well. There's no legal or ethical obstacle to this, and some nurses might enjoy the variety. But it's often seen as a demotion and a diminution of talent and skill… try asking an MD to change bedpans, for example, and see what the typical reaction is.
Should a nurse practitioner, who has gone through advanced training and spent years developing their skills, be any less incensed?
It's also an excuse for administrators to demand even more work out of someone who is already devoting considerable time and energy to their main job. This isn't just wrong, but risky—advanced practice demands advanced skills and the time in which to apply them. When that time is being eaten up performing more basic RN tasks, the skills can atrophy and patient care can suffer.
Big Increases in Nurse Practitioner Programs May Be Solving The Problem
Overall, there's no doubt that the United States will face a shortage of trained medical professionals in the coming decades.
But for APRNs, the outlook may not be so dire. The obvious advantages of advanced practice nursing as a measure for covering the gap in doctor supply has resulted in a huge increase in nurse practitioner programs and enrollments. In fact, projections from the Health Resources and Services Administration actually show a surplus of primary care nurse practitioners emerging by 2020.
It could be that the APRN role will not only have a smoother ride through the rocky staffing shortages, but will help smooth the rode for other specialties as well. The HRSA report notes specifically that the surplus scenario occurs in a world where nurse practitioners continue to provide only the primary care services needed at this moment, but doesn't account for the deluge of demand that's right around the corner.
It's much cheaper and faster to train advanced practice nurses than full-fledged MDs. That means that training can ramp up faster and conclude more quickly. This burst of qualified APRNs can fill the gaps and help keep the doctor shortage from becoming as dire for the American public as it might otherwise become.
At the same time, you don't become an APRN without first being an RN. The demand that is pulling RNs into APRN programs is also creating a vacuum that will pull more new students into registered nursing programs. That bump in nursing enrollments is going to help fill the gap in the projected nursing shortage. After all, you don't immediately flip from RN to APRN as soon as you graduate nursing school. Those students will put in several years of worthwhile service as nurses before moving on to APRN programs; in fact, most of them will remain as nurses and not go into advanced practice at all.
The Road Forward Will Be A Bumpy One
The personnel difficulties that these transitions are bound to create— and have, in fact, already created—aren't a lot of fun to go through. Hospital working environments can be famously hostile—a lot of egos, a traditionally rigid hierarchy, and a customer base that is routinely experiencing some of the worst moments of their lives puts the pressure level to extreme.
When you add staffing shortages to the mix, it's a recipe for some serious unhappiness. Staff churn is a challenge that medical organizations are already experiencing. While the responsibility for fixing the issue rests at the top of the ladder, it's the mid-level staff who feels the pressure the most. Bringing new hires up to speed, not being able to count on shifts being filled, and the general demoralization that comes with friends constantly leaving and unfamiliar faces arriving takes a toll.
These are all challenges that new APRNs should expect to face as they enter the workforce. They are likely to continue for some time. It's entirely possible the ramifications will echo through the entire career of someone entering the profession today. But the opportunities that the turmoil creates will likely mean a larger and more important role for APRNs in the future.

1hr U.S. South Asian Organisations plan weekend of CAA protests
2hrs Brazil's arts scene the latest target in Bolsonaro government's war on culture
A reward for 'egregious' violations
Sukumar Muralidharan

A balance sheet would show that more has been lost than retrieved in the Ayodhya judgment
The Supreme Court of India has to be given wide latitude in its effort to address an unwelcome task: to resolve a dispute that has stirred up ancient resentments beyond the powers of a modern republican order to placate. It was a matter involving criminal trespass, that should have been reversed by local administrative action. Once criminality was deterred, the underlying dispute should have been settled at the local civil court.
That the matter finally reached a Constitution Bench is a sign of democratic dysfunction. That five Supreme Court judges achieved unanimity on an issue that has convulsed Indian politics through seven decades, points to a quite heroic effort at salving deep wounds.
Several pages into its long, reflective and often digressive judgment on the Ayodhya title dispute, and after many an excursus into the discipline of archaeology, the top court admits that it has been embarked on an exercise in irrelevance. "A finding of title", it pronounces, "cannot be based.. on... archaeological findings". Rather, the matter "must be decided on settled legal principles... applying evidentiary standards which govern a civil trial".
Likewise, after long expeditions to uncover textual records from history, the Bench pleads its inability to "entertain claims that stem from the actions of the Mughal rulers against Hindu places of worship". The genesis of the dispute spanned "four distinct legal regimes — that of Vikramaditya, the Mughals, the British and now, Independent India".
Constitution as watershed
India's history, the court writes, is "replete with actions that have been judged to be morally incorrect and even today are liable to trigger vociferous ideological debate". A moment of liberation from the torments of the past occurred at that "watershed moment" when India adopted its republican Constitution. That was when "we, the people of India" — as the resonant phrase in the preamble put it — "departed from the determination of rights and liabilities on the basis of our ideology, our religion, the colour of our skin, or the century when our ancestors arrived at these lands". It was when all Indian citizens "submitted to the rule of law".
Certain continuities between republican India and the British Raj were retained. Article 372 of the Constitution allowed the adjudication of title bequeathed from before. And yet, with no clear pathway towards resolving a dispute that originated with the British conquest of Awadh in 1856, the top court invokes an extraordinary power uniquely granted under Article 142 of the Constitution, to ensure that justice is delivered to all.
Heroic so far in squaring impossible circles, the court wanders then into a deep moral quandary. It seeks to bridge "significant gaps in the positive law" by applying principles of "justice, equity and good conscience". Yet it arrives at findings that negate these values.
December 22, 1949, roughly halfway between the adoption of the Indian Constitution and its formal entry into force, with a delinquent district magistrate looking the other way, a number of idols were smuggled into a place of worship at Ayodhya. Cutting through the mythology that has since surrounded that act, the court has declared that this was a "desecration of the mosque and the ouster of the Muslims otherwise than by the due process of law". And then came the final act of destruction on December 6, 1992, when a monument with hoary references to India's history was effaced, in what the court recognises as "an egregious violation of the rule of law".
Offender and victim
The abiding mystery with the Supreme Court ruling on Ayodhya, as the Indian republic marches ahead, would be to negotiate the complicated routine through which it seeks to reward the worst violations of the rule of law. After acknowledging all these historical wrongs, the court recognises a body that has been the most serious offender against rule of law, and awards it virtually undiluted title to the land. It seeks to placate the victims of this cycle of physical and rhetorical violence, through the award of five acres in the near vicinity of Ayodhya, for the 2.77 acres lost. Evidently, the court has decreed that the injuries to an entire religious community's sense of identity and belonging, can be easily redressed through seeming generosity in the quantitative sense.
It is an easy metric, but does it do sufficient remedy to all the principles trampled upon? An alternative metric could be used to assess how far the Supreme Court judgment bears true faith to the foundational principles of India's republican identity. Anybody with the tools to do the search, would find the word "Hindu" occurring 1,062 times through the court's judgment, while "Muslim" appears 549 times. The word "citizen" occurs a mere 14 times.
Equal citizenship was a promise that India made to itself at the time of its transition to a modern republic. B.R. Ambedkar and other preceptors of the democratic order knew that it was a difficult transition, because of the deep chasm between the assurance of political equality and the reality of social and economic inequality.
Ambedkar of course, had in mind a different dimension of inequality. But as the Constituent Assembly (CA) debated the issue of fundamental rights, and heard representations from the diminishing and disempowered spokespersons of communities who argued for a charter of minority rights, Govind Ballabh Pant came up with a lofty response, rendered perhaps from his privileged posture as an upper caste person. G.B. Pant's attitude and the CA's in general has been likened by scholars such as Christophe Jaffrelot, to a "Jacobin" position, after the French revolutionary faction that insisted on the extinction of all intermediary loyalties between the citizen and the State, since in a republican order, none of these distinctions would have any reason to exist.
Equal citizenship
Speaking in the Constituent Assembly, G.B. Pant had deprecated the "morbid tendency", to disregard the "individual citizen who is really the backbone of the State, the pivot, the cardinal centre of all social activity, and whose happiness and satisfaction should be the goal of every social mechanism". The citizen, he regretted, had been lost in the "body known as the community", because of the "degrading habit of thinking always in terms of communities and never in terms of citizens".
When the intrusion into the Ayodhya mosque took place under his watch as Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, G.B. Pant proved a little less mindful of the principle of equal citizenship. He responded vaguely to urgent demands from Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, that the idols smuggled into the mosque be removed. To Nehru's worries that the commandeering of a Muslim place of worship might seriously impair India's claim to sovereignty over Kashmir, Pant with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as his ally responded with references to law and order compulsions.
This entire saga may have vanished into the rabbit-hole of history had not the course of Indian democracy exposed its assurances of republican equality as a thin cover for upper caste privilege. From being an unstated premise, sectarianism was officially reintroduced into India's electoral politics in the 1980s, as the foundations of upper caste hegemony began to falter. The Ayodhya dispute was one among many manifestations of this moment of crisis. The Supreme Court's heroic and yet logic-defying effort to set right the problem may well be too little and too late.

So, I have a Patreon page now.
This is another quick update.
I had promised a map and a review for this week. Things don't usually go as planned.
My father had a heart attack this morning. He had a surgery and is now stable, but not out of danger yet.
Until the situation is better I can't continue working on (and being stressed about) the blog.
This blog is a work of love and I do it as part of me liking tabletop RPGs. However, since it's a hobby, at this point of time my priorities must focus completely on my family.
Since I have a review mostly finished, I'll try to finish and post it at some point. I also need to make some other, RPG related, announcements but I'll see when I'll be able to do it. After that, I don't know.
To the people who have trusted me with their work, I apologise. It will take more time than expected for me to review it. I hope you understand.
During the holidays I got some pretty cool gifts for myself. Now it's time to show them off.
By the time this gets posted my surgery will have probably finished.
Thankfully, it's not a dangerous surgery. However, it's still a surgery, which means I'll be taking a break for at least a couple of days. I hope I'll be able to return before the end of the week. No promises though.
Edit: The surgery was successful. However, I'm a little worse than I was expecting to be. This means I'll need more time to rest. Hopefully, my plans for posting this week's Unearthed Arcana analysis and one review before the end of the week won't foiled. That's all for now.
The following update contains mostly bad news.
If you're following me on Twitter you'll probably have noticed that I've been tweeting about earthquakes recently. That's because since last Saturday the area I live in has been hit by a few hundreds of earthquakes, some of which were quite powerful. There is still seismic activity in the area but it's not as bad as the first two days.
This has disrupted my schedule in many ways, scared me a bunch and because I had to sleep in the car for two days I also have a couple of minor health issues. Fortunately, there have been no injuries and only minor damage to buildings has been reported.
During all that, my laptop decided to die. Thankfully I had most of my work backed up but I've still lost some of it. I'll have to get a new one but I don't know when I'll be able to do that. This means that I don't know if I'll be able to write here as much as I want. I'm using a small tablet to write this post and it's not easy.
That's all I have for now. I hope things get back to normal as soon as possible.

This summer large portions of the country are experiencing high temperatures and humidity, with above average conditions expected through July and August. These heat spikes can be particularly dangerous for car wash employees and warrant measures to prevent heat stress and protect the individuals working your facility.
Why is Heat So Dangerous At the Car Wash?
Human bodies are surprisingly good at dissipating heat and maintaining a precisely balanced internal temperature. When an individual gets too hot, the body adjusts blood circulation to push more blood closer to the surface of the skin in order to divert heat from the internal organs and release it. At the same time, the body automatically releases water and dissolved chemicals from sweat glands, to pull away heat via evaporation.
However, extreme or prolonged heat exposure can easily overwhelm these mechanisms, causing internal temperatures to increase to dangerous levels even as the body dehydrates from sweating. This is doubly true for high-humidity heat waves or for work conducted in a high-moisture car wash tunnel, as the moisture in the air cancels out evaporation and stops the body from benefiting from sweat formation. The risk of heat exhaustion is also increased when employees are out in direct sunlight at the vacuum stations, in a car wash bay that is heating up due to natural sunlight, and when they are wearing dark-colored uniforms that absorb sunlight.
Heat exhaustion is marked by confusion, dizziness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, racing heartbeats, and even delirium—symptoms which are unacceptable in the high-risk car wash environment. Therefore, any signs of heat exhaustion must be treated with extreme urgency.
Keep an eye on the temperature. What qualifies as a heat wave will change in different parts of the country, but you'll know it when you feel it. When temps get too high it's important that you take steps to reduce heat exposure among your team—especially if your bay heats up due to sunlight and humidity.
Limit the amount of time your employees spend outside or in a hot car wash bay during a heatwave. This may mean shifts as short as 10 or 15 minutes with an available air-conditioned space for use when they don't need to be outside.
.Keep your employees drinking cold water in order to stay hydrated and replace the fluids they're losing as they sweat. Remember that soft drinks, while they may provide some benefit, won't be nearly as hydrating.
Have a short-sleeved, loose-fitting uniform option to allow airflow and keep your team cool.
Train employees to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion and encourage them to take a break, call for help, and get water if they have need.
The last thing you need is for your team to work themselves to a breaking point. Prepare ahead of time and be ready to face this year's biggest heat waves safely and without incident.

The ski instructor accompanied Natasha back to her hotel room, where she later began complaining of headaches and saying she wasn't feeling well. At that point, the hotel called 911. The actress was conscious between her fall and the time she left the hotel, and a police spokesperson tells ET that she continued to maintain consciousness on the ambulance ride to the hospital.

Q: Increasing sprite position incrementally very fast without lag - Python I'm making a PONG game for a school project using Kivy in Python. So far thanks to this forum I've made myself some AI for the NPC paddle.
This is the code:
    if self.ball.y < self.player2.center_y:
        self.player2.center_y = self.player2.center_y - 4
    if self.ball.y > self.player2.center_y:
        self.player2.center_y = self.player2.center_y + 4

This is in a method of PongGame() class called ArtificialIntelligence().
I use this to call it:
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)

This allows me to call it once every 1/300th of a second. However, anything more than 1/300, I seem to have no difference. I.e. 1/9001 does not call it once every 1/9001th of a second.
The way it works is that it increases the y coordinate 4 pixels relative to the balls position, and it does this once every 1/300th of a second, hence why it doesn't "lag" at this rate. This is basically an "easy" mode for the player. If I want to do a "hard" mode, I need to make the NPC more accurate. I can do this by doing
self.player2.center_y = self.player2.center_y + 20

Something like this. This would be extremely accurate. HOWEVER, it does NOT look "fluid", it looks "laggy". I assume I could get the same amount of movement by calling the method more often instead of changing the amount it moves via altering the pixel movement. However, I don't know how to do this, because, as I said, changing it from anywhere above 1/300 seems to make no difference.
This is how I use my paddle:
if touch.x < self.width/3:
    self.player1.center_y = touch.y

and I can move it as fast as I want because this updates as I move the mouse. And it looks fluid because it updates as often as it needs to update. I don't know how to do this with my AI.
Does anyone know how I could basically make the NPC paddle more accurate, allowing me to do Easy-Normal-Hard, etc, while retaining fluidity and no lag? I see only one way I could do it: Increase the amount the method is called.
However I bet there is a better way and I don't know how to do it. Does anyone have any Idea how I could do this? Thanks.
Edit: it looks like I can do it like this:
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)
Clock.schedule_interval(game.ArtificialIntelligence, 1/300)

But that seems REALLY ugly and REALLY inefficient... I'd MUCH prefer a cleaner way.

A: At 300 frames per second, the problem is not in the rate of updates because you are exceeding the human eye's capacity to perceive movement by a factor of 50 or more.
The jerky movement comes because the ball is following a linear trajectory while your paddle is just hopping to where the ball is now. Ideally, your computer player could compute where the ball will be when it hits the plane of the computer paddle and then take a very smooth course to that location at 30 frames per second or less. Sure, the prediction math requires a tiny amount of trigonometry but it is the "right" way to do it in the sense of that is how a good player would play, by anticipating.
It would be far easier to just increase the size of the computer's paddle which would also give a visual indication to the human player of just how much harder the game is. When the computer's paddle has become a wall, the player would see that there is no winning to be done. The larger paddle would have the side effect of being less jerky, but whether this is a "good" way is your decision.

A: My advice is to use trig to work out where the ball will be, and have the paddle move there to intercept it.
Animation will be smooth at 30 frames per second.
When making a game AI is quite important these days that the player does not see it 'cheating' and giving it a larger paddle, or the ability to teleport, would be obvious signs of this. It should play in the same manner as a human, just better - not using some mechanism the player has no access to. "This game sucks because the CPU cheats" is a very common negative comment on videogame forums.
So if you need the computer to miss, make sure its trig calculations are off by a random factor, so the player cna't distinguish its play from a human's.
edit: For example: If random (X) <= speed of ball, then intercept correctly, otherwise miss by random (Y) units.

A: Thanks for your help guys, I was able to work it out with my teacher based on your help and his.
He developed this algorithm (tbh he did it so fast that I wasn't really able to comprehend it!) but this essentially uses trig to generate where the paddle will go (Note, I don't use the angle as I have other values that can be used)
def AIController(self, *args):
    ballsFuturePos = self.ball.center_y + ((self.width - self.ball.center_x) / self.ball.velocity_x) * self.ball.velocity_y
    numIterations = ((self.width - self.ball.center_x) / self.ball.velocity_x)
    #print ballsFuturePos
    #print numIterations
    if numIterations > 0:
        self.wantedPos = self.player2.center_y +(ballsFuturePos - self.player2.center_y) / numIterations
        #print wantedPos
        #self.player2.center_y = wantedPos + (error / wantedPos) * 100

    if self.player2.center_y < self.wantedPos:
        self.player2.center_y = self.player2.center_y + 9
    if self.player2.center_y > self.wantedPos:
        self.player2.center_y = self.player2.center_y - 9

So I generate where the ball is going to hit the rightmost part of the screen by getting the balls y position, adding the (width - the x position of the ball) (which gives me how far until the rightmost part of the screen is in x pixels), then I didivde that by the x velocity, and times the whole thing by the y velocity, which gives me the slope (I think), and as such now that the slope is calculated it also means It has the trajectory and as such can predict where the ball will hit the screen.
I calculate the number of iterations needed to get to the ball by taking the width of screen and minusing it by the balls x position, which calculates how far it is until the rightmost part of the screen, and divide that by the velocity. This gives me a number that I can use to iterate.
now I iterate with this, and create a variable called wantedPos which is where I want my paddle to go. This uses the paddles y position, adding (where the ball will be - where the paddle is), which gives me the distance between the ball and the paddle, divided by the number of iterations, which gives me the position the paddle will be to be at the same position at the ball. As numIterations decreases in each call, so does the wantedPos, meaning the gap gets smaller. I then iterate the paddle closer to the ball, using 9 as a speed, which allows me to increase or decrease difficulty.
Thanks. If I messed up any of my logic in trying to describe his actions, please tell! I think I understand it but a confirmation would be nice :)

Sorry for lack of updates but nothing is going on, I mean the warm weather is great and winter didnt really exist this year but no rain is bad for getting the trails reclayed and fixed up. Basically it either rains too much or doesnt rain at all no happy medium in eastern PA anymore. Its the driest spring ever and the trails are pretty much undiggable for the first time ever, go figure with our luck. Extended weather forecast really shows no rain coming so yeah awesome. Anyway below is the Catty section from Nat's 3D video check out it and and his vimeo for other sections.

Faith is something you are innately born with or it comes after you've been served a hearty dose of "real" life. The latter road is a much tougher journey, and it just so happens to be celebrity carpenter Brandon Russell's walk towards faith. In his first book, Brandon shares his own experiences while imparting the tools and lessons of wisdom he has learned along the way to create a life built on the solidest of foundations—a foundation of faith in God. The lessons are wrapped into an action-plan called The Toolbox at the end of each chapter. The Toolbox is packed with scripture and applicable lessons for living the best life TODAY! Growing up in the charming South, Brandon didn't realize what life had in store for him. A chance meeting changed Brandon's course from would-be businessman to international male model turned television star. His father, a true Renaissance man and artist, who could build anything, taught Brandon the value of hard work. Yet, it wasn't until Brandon lost his father to cancer did he realize his father's actual tools would give him his true calling in life. While finishing his parent's basement, Brandon began to understand God's plan for him. After surrendering to the notion that God's will was bigger than his own, Brandon came to understand his purpose on earth is to reach, inspire, encourage, and uplift others. That calling has been put into action by reaching people in the one place their hearts are most open: their homes. Brandon's motto is when building any structure you must start with a good foundation.

We probably spent the best part of an hour last night in the pouring rain removing around 100 slugs, snails and other varieties of slime from our precious plants. The death bucket was brimming with water after several days of constant downpour and the slugs were escaping!
We have lost several broad bean leaves, about 20 Marigolds, a handful of sunflowers, all the carrots and a number of parsnips to these buggers so we are now going to get slug pellets. I have even found a small amount of slug damage on my tomatoes at home in my mini greenhouse!
Not entirely organic, not what we planned but we're angry gardeners....and that's quite scary!

The Thesaurus of Australian Government Subjects (TAGS) describes Commonwealth information and services. It was developed in response to agency requests for a simpler approach to 'Subject' metadata.
AGIMO is pleased to provide the Thesaurus of Australian Government Subjects (TAGS). This thesaurus, which describes Australian Government information and services, was developed in response to agency requests for a simpler approach to 'Subject' metadata as well as being flagged as a requirement in the Commonwealth Implementation Manual [ ] for AGLS metadata. TAGS is the product of multiple drafts which have been reviewed by a dedicated group drawn from key agencies. While its main purpose is to aid agencies in creating 'Subject" metadata, it will also be a valuable resource in supporting the Australian Government's Portals framework.
AGLS Metadata facilitates resource discovery and use of an agency's resources online by providing descriptions that aid and increase the ease with which information can be discovered. While search engines aim to match search terms to the exact word/s entered as keywords in a full text index, this method is limited to only discovering those resources containing that exact word. It will not discover items having the same conceptual information - ie. information on the same subject but not containing the original search term will not be discovered.
To increase the ease and precision with which such information can be discovered, a process of semantic control, such as a thesaurus listing a controlled vocabulary, is required. The use of a thesaurus, or other formal classification scheme, is recognised best practise in all information-related disciplines.
Provides a subject vocabulary which is broader than the detailed vocabularies already adopted by some agencies, but which is able to function as an introduction to those detailed vocabularies, or to serve as a controlled vocabulary for those agencies without a specialised one.
In addition, it conforms with ANSI/NISO Z39.19, Guidelines for the Construction, Format and Management of Monolingual Thesauri - the standard for structure and organisation of information retrieval thesauri. It is a hierarchical thesaurus which uses a "tree" structure starting with broad concepts which then break down to narrower concepts. There is a maximum of 3-4 levels in each hierarchy. This is complemented by 17 high-level clusters, or 'Subject categories', that collect together related terms.
The main advantage of TAGS is that it provides a consistent general list of subject terms, which is the preferred tool for all agencies to use in AGLS 'Subject' description. TAGS presents the business of government from a subject or topic perspective, and is independent of the structure of government. In addition, it has been designed to represent concepts in a neutral way, and to cover all general areas of interest to government. The size of the thesaurus has been deliberately limited to maintain its general nature, but be practical and easy to use.
Synonyms have been included for most terms, and it deliberately includes all those APAIS (Australian Public Affairs Information Service Thesaurus) terms that are within its scope. This means that existing metadata using APAIS terms can be retrieved with the help of TAGS. An additional feature is that agency specific or more subject specific thesauri may be used in tandem with TAGS. Proper names and geographic names have been excluded as TAGS is specifically for Subject description.
ARE THERE BENEFITS IN USING TAGS?
Saving time and the effort of creating an agency-based thesaurus. If you need a more specific approach you can use TAGS as a framework to allow your approach to work with other agencies and portals. See Checkpoints on using TAGS in your Portal.

Global disasters 'not so deadly' but second most costly last year
A new report by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) showed that 318 natural disasters which occurred last year and affected 122 countries have resulted in lower mortality than in previous years.

Floods and hurricanes, as well as landslides and a number of other natural disasters, claimed 9,503 lives compared to the average annual figure of 68,000 lives between 2007 and 2016.
The year was not so deadly but it turned out to be the second most costly, according to CRED, which estimated economic damage at $314 billion. That was reflected in the impact of three hurricanes – Harvey ($95 billion), Irma ($66 billion) and Maria ($69 billion), affecting the United States and the Caribbean.

— CRED (@CREDUCL) April 6, 2018
"Almost 90 percent of deaths in 2017 were due to climatological, hydrological or meteorological disasters. Nearly 60 percent of people affected by disasters in 2017 were affected by floods, while 85 percent of economic damages were due to storms."
In 2017, similar to previous years, the Asian continent experienced the highest disaster occurrence (43 percent of the total). China was the most disaster-affected country, said CRED.

In terms of human impact, India witnessed the highest burden of natural disasters with almost 2,300 deaths and 22.5 million people affected (mostly by floods and storms).
The report also highlighted that the year with the highest economic losses was 2011 (at $400 billion) mainly due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Doctors examined her photos and speculated that she might have used Botox to raise her eyebrows. He also mentioned that she could have opted for fat grafts and facial implants to keep her appearance plump. Dr. Andrew Miller, another facial plastic surgeon, agreed with her, implying that she may have had fillers in her cheeks and lips or implants in her cheeks and chin.

Barely a month after Baghdad declared victory over the Isis group, the terrorists could still recapture areas of Iraq, especially near the border with Syria, experts and officials say.
Ali al-Bayati, a commander of the Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary units which fought alongside Iraqi security forces in a gruelling battle against the group, said the Nimrud region of northern Iraq could "fall at any time because security there is fragile".
Last July, the authorities in Baghdad announced with much fanfare the "liberation" of nearby Mosul, Iraq's second city.
Isis fighters who fled their former stronghold and took refuge to the west, in the vast desert towards the Syrian border, have since launched attacks on security forces and civilians, Bayati said.
Hiding out in valleys and gullies as well as trenches dug before their ouster from Mosul, the group has built up stockpiles of arms, fuel, water and food.
More than 4,000 Isis member have been arrested in Nineveh province since Mosul's capture, according to police chief General Wathiq al-Hamdani.
But Aed al-Louayzi of Nineveh's provincial council said several civilians have been robbed or killed inside the city itself, some by assailants disguised as soldiers.
He says the attacks have been the work of Isis members from the areas of Tal Afar and Hatra, both towns also recaptured last year from the terrorists.
Hisham al-Hashemi, a specialist on terrorist movements, said Iraq's announcement in December of military victory "simply means that the (black) Isis flag is no longer flying" over government buildings.
The Hashed, which is patrolling the border with war-torn Syria, says it faces infiltration attempts by terrorists on a daily basis.
Although Isis is also on the verge of overall military defeat in Syria, it surprised observers last week by announcing a comeback in the country's northwest.
In the Hawiyah area of northern Iraq, at least three civilians and a Hashed fighter have been killed this month, according to security sources.
They said around 60 terrorists have also died in fighting around Hawiyah, one of the last Isis urban strongholds retaken by Iraqi forces.
On Monday, a twin suicide bombing in Baghdad cost more than 30 lives, prompting Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to order security forces to "eliminate Isis sleeper cells" and protect civilians.
But Hashemi said the threat is more immediate.


The R4Z-series of axial impellers have been developed for applications requiring reversible operation. The symmetrical blade profile allows reversed operation in order to move an equal air volume in either direction. Compared to the common compromise, where every second blade is turned by 180°C, the Wingfan series R4Z offers the following advantages: improved efficiency, lower absorbed power and lower noise levels.
