The NBA DFS season rolls on Wednesday, 11/7/18, and we've got our best picks for your DraftKings and FanDuel lineups for tonight.
With a 10-game slate, there is a $200k purse ($50k to 1st) available on DraftKings for an entry fee of $44. If you're looking for a lower stakes contest, enter the "Excellent 8's" for $8 with a shot at a share of $500k in guaranteed money. Also, FanDuel is offering a $333k purse for a $9.99 entry fee.
Lowry has been rejuvenated with the arrival of Kawhi Leonard and the corresponding exit of former backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan. The veteran point guard has upped his scoring average from last season's 16.2 to 17.9, and he's dishing out a career-best 11.5 assists. Moreover, he could once again be without Leonard on Wednesday, who is questionable with the ankle/foot injury that already cost him Monday's game versus the Jazz. If so, Lowry will be in an even better position than he already normally would be against the Kings, a team that's allowed the fourth-most DK (49.0) and third-most FD (48.5) points per game to point guards. They've also yielded bottom-10 figures in points (23.8), rebounds (9.7), assists (5.1), blocks (1.3), and made three-pointers (2.5) per contest to point guards. That all gives Lowry an abundance of paths to fantasy success.
Hardaway should be ready to go for a matchup versus his old Hawks squad Wednesday. Atlanta's 2013 first-round pick is averaging a career-best 23.3 points on a career-high 18.7 shot attempts per game with New York. Plus, he sports a team-high 29.5 percent usage rate. The Hawks make for an ideal matchup, considering they've allowed the second-most DK points (48.1) and third-most FD points (45.1) per game to two-guards. They've also allowed the second-most made threes per game (3.7) to that position, which bodes particularly well for Hardaway's fantasy outlook. He's taking a robust 8.7 three-point attempts per game and draining them at a career-best 40.2 percent clip.
Jeff Teague has already been ruled out for Wednesday's contest with his knee injury, putting Rose squarely in play against the fast-paced, defensively challenged Lakers. Los Angeles has allowed 44.2 DK and 43.5 FD points per game to point guards while Rose has scored over 20 fantasy points on both sites in all but the Wolves' opener. Included in that sample is one game over 40 and another over 60, the latter his career-high 50-point effort. The Lakers are currently playing at the third-fastest pace in the NBA (109.9 possessions per game), including 110.6 per game at home. Given his bargain price on both sites and the likelihood of a high-scoring affair, Rose presents as one of the best values on the slate.
Griffin will be licking his chops for a crack at a Magic squad that's allowed 46.4 DK and 43.6 FD points per game to power forwards, along with the sixth-most rebounds (13.2) and 10th-most made threes (2.2) to the position per contest. Griffin is grabbing his most rebounds (11.3) since his rookie 2010-11 season. He's also draining a career-best 42.6 percent of his career-high 6.0 three-point attempts per contest. The All-Star forward has also been as steady as they come, scoring over 40 fantasy points on either site in all but one game this season. With a team-high 30.3 usage rate in tow, Griffin is one of the slate's true locks if you're paying up at power forward.
In Kawhi Leonard's San Antonio heyday, rostering a small forward against the Spurs was usually akin to flushing money away. That's far from the case these days as the Spurs rank in the bottom 10 in multiple categories versus threes. That includes fantasy points (45.8 per game on DK, 44.7 per game on FD), points (23.2), rebounds (9.5), and assists (4.8) allowed per game to the position. Richardson is a player with the talent level to exploit those weaknesses. He's averaging a career-best 21.4 points on a career-high 17.2 shot attempts per game. The fourth-year wing is also sporting a solid 23.9 percent usage rate that could well see a boost if Hassan Whiteside does miss the game with a knee injury. In one game without Whiteside this season, Richardson exploded for 54.0 DK and 53.6 FD points.
I consider Sabonis one of the best values at any position on the slate based on both recent production and matchup. The third-year big is averaging 30.6 DK and 29.8 FD points per contest and will be facing a Sixers squad that's been the most vulnerable to power forwards across the board. Philadelphia is surrendering the most DK (60.2) and FD (58.8) points to the position. That's along with the most points (27.8) and rebounds (15.0) per game to fours. Sabonis is averaging career highs in both categories (13.9 and 8.7, respectively), lining up perfectly for what should be a strong return on a still-reasonable price.
Drummond is once again rattling off double-doubles with regularity. His most recent was a 25-point, 24-rebound explosion in an overtime loss to the Heat on Monday night. He's averaging 44.8 DK and 43.4 FD points per game and will face a Magic team that just allowed a 19-point, 16-rebound double-double to Tristan Thompson, a player of considerably lesser caliber than Drummond. The dominant big man should be able to exploit Orlando's averages of 55.1 DK and 53.9 FD points allowed per game, numbers partly comprised of 16.01 rebounds yielded per contest. Moreover, Orlando's second-worst field-goal percentage (42.6) coupled with Detroit's third-worst 42.7 percent figure should afford Drummond an abundance of opportunity on the boards.
Randle has found his niche on the Pelicans second unit. He's averaging 33.0 DK and 32.4 FD points per game across 24.2 minutes per contest. New Orleans' brisk 110.7 possessions per game at home certainly work in his favor, as does the matchup Wednesday. The Bulls check in allowing the sixth-most DK (60.4) and fifth-most FD (60.6) points per game to centers. Those figures are partly comprised of the fourth-most rebounds (17.4) and third-most blocks (3.6) allowed per game to the position. Randle should see his usual allotment of minutes in the mid-20s. This gives him ample opportunity to deliver on what remains a reasonable cost for a player of his caliber.
Valanciunas continues producing, but he's seen his price mostly hold steady. The veteran big man is especially priced to move on DK, where he's averaging 27.6 fantasy points per game. Plus, he is always a threat for a double-double bonus. The Kings have allowed 59.6 DK and 59.1 FD points per game to fives, including the third-most rebounds (18.3) per contest. That puts Valanciunas in prime position for success, considering his work on the boards. The Kings also bring a nice boost in pace for the Raptors (110.1 possessions per game, second most in NBA). What's more, they're allowing the third-most points in the paint (54.6) per contest. Valanciunas is scoring 62.7 percent of his points in that area of the floor.

One such concern is the promotion of physical fitness and exercise. Personal appearance has become a major concern in modern society, and one means for conveying the "appearance" of one's own personal fitness in a way that is inescapable is through the use of clothing. Modesty may also play a role in conveying information to others regarding the wearer's personal fitness. In today's world, many women spend a considerable amount of time caring for their personal appearance and their children. This means that their time is often limited to limited time for exercise, especially if they have jobs outside the home, such as in the health-care industry. Furthermore, it is often not at all convenient to take time out of one's schedule to exercise and go to a health club and, perhaps, spend an exorbitant amount of money to undergo the process of personal training. This is especially true for the teenager who is just beginning to develop a self-image. People tend to wear less clothing while exercising because of the lack of privacy or inconvenience. Therefore, the free movement of air is inhibited and the body becomes restricted and covered.
Personal appearance is important to children and teenagers at all times, but becomes even more important as they move into adulthood. An appropriate way to express both modesty and personal fitness is through the proper use of clothing.

Sometimes it feels as if our lives are lived in pursuit of mountain top moments.
In fact, that's the only way I can make sense of things like bungie jumping, surfing 50 foot swells, climbing Mount Everest or Sky diving.
People who participate in these sorts of activities describe them as "life changing", as transformative. They may describe themselves as feeling more complete, more authentically and wholly themselves in the moments following these peak experiences.
An intense experience of encounter, an encounter with the divine that leaves Moses literally transformed. An encounter, not just for Moses, but for the entire community as the ongoing work of Moses leads the community to a deeper understanding of God's salvation and the ongoing covenant between God and God's people.
So, while Moses may not have been a bungie jumping enthusiast--he was a man transformed through relationship with God and an encounter on a mountain. And, in his transformation, the community that (only a few short chapters ago) had turned from God to the worship of idols, re-engages with the God of all creation.
As I consider this, I consider what it takes for not only for an individual but for an entire community to be transformed. What would it mean for all of us, here at St. Clement's, to be transformed?
I would argue, that our Christian calling is to transformation. To the process of becoming more wholly and perfectly ourselves with the help and power of God. Our liturgy, the work we do here in our worship, is centered on the potential and desire for our own transformation. Confession, forgiveness and reconciliation are central to our liturgical action each and every week.
During our Lenten observances, our liturgy will point even more explicitly towards this process of repentance and reconciliation. During the season of Lent we will observe the penitential order offered in the Book of Common Prayer. This order begins the liturgy with a call to repentance--but the call to repentance is framed within the context that our repentance, our desire for forgiveness, is met by God's grace and mercy.
Our brokenness is met by God's grace. The brokenness that led to the Israelites worship of the golden calf is ultimately met with forgiveness and a deepening of relationship. The brokenness of Paul's relationship with the Corinthian community, is met by God's mercy. And, throughout the Gospel we see moment's in which Peter's failure ultimately becomes his triumph.
Transfiguration, transformation, reconciliation, a people made whole and holy in relationship with God.
This culmination of the season after the Epiphany, sets the stage for our Lenten journey.
Our observance of what's called "the transfiguration" is an invitation into the process of forgiveness and reconciliation that marks the season of Lent.
It is also a gift, an offering, as our experience of transfiguration gives us sustenance for our Lenten journey.
Transfiguration offers hope for the journey--we can't stay on the mountaintop, but the experience of the mountaintop gives us what we need in order to sustain the day to day in between what can be called peak experiences.
Today is an offering of signs, and we are encouraged to take note of the shining face of the divine so that we might remember that light and recognize the divine in the ordinary and the day to day.
The glimpse we have offers us hope for the future.
I realize as I write these words that perhaps I've been too impersonal. With my references to Maslow, Lewis and the skydiving which I can assure you will never be one of my hobbies. So, I want to close with an offering of one of my own peak experiences.
It begins with grief. My dad died, of a massive heart attack, in November of my senior year of high school. I grieved, I still do. There is much from that year that I've forgotten--my experiences fogged by the grief and loss that superimposed themselves over everything my senior year. Near the close of that school year, my class participated in a retreat and (still clouded by sorrow) I remember distinctly how deeply burdened I was by my awareness of all that my dad would not experience and all that had been lost. However, during a hike up the side of a valley, I remember looking around and seeing clearly for what seemed to be the first time in a very, very long time.
As I looked up the green slope, down into the valley below, and out into the deep blue of the ocean, I was struck by a moment of sharp clarity. This beauty, this transcendent creation, was enough. And, if my dad had had even one such experience, that would be enough. The transcendent happiness of that moment burst through the clouds of sorrow and reminded me of the beauty and hope that was there, despite the suffering, despite the loss, despite of the what might have beens.
In that moment I experienced a beautiful truth of God's grace in the midst of it all. All I knew was transfigured in a moment of glory and of happiness. And, while that moment was all too fleeting, I hold it still and to know that this exists, this wholeness and holiness--this is enough.
the Reverend Lori Brandt Hale writes that, "The transfiguration of Jesus offers a glimpse of what is possible, not only for Jesus, but for all humanity." (FotW 454). So, today we are offered a glimpse of what is possible.
And, thus, it is our calling to be transformed into the possible. To be made more wholly and completely ourselves--and in that transformation, to radiate the light of Christ into a world desperate for that light.
So, shine on people of God.

4 Reasons to Watch Knives Out – A Movie Review
Perhaps one of the most surprising hits of 2019, Knives Out is a brilliant whodunit that has quickly become one of the most engaging murder-mystery films to hit the big screen. Its box office acclaim has already secured a sequel, meaning fans will soon get to immerse themselves in the follow-up to this thrilling murder-mystery. If you've yet to see this film, here are 4 reasons why Knives Out should be your next movie night viewing.
We know him as James Bond, but Daniel Craig shines as the enigmatic Detective, Benoit Blanc. Blanc and his shrewd observations find himself at the heart of the case as his eccentric pursual of justice lead to brilliant moments of chaos, proving that there is a method to his madness. Knives Out could have easily overexaggerated Blanc's character quirks that would have worked against the narrative in the long run. Instead, Craig chose to subtly emphasise Blancs eccentricities using them to enhance the narrative rather than overshadowing it. This role was made for him and it's clear he relished in the theatrics of Benoit Blanc.
Subtle Social Commentary
The last thing you'd ever expect from this quirky murder mystery is the subtle social commentary that's woven between the lines of this case. This bizarrely eccentric tale quickly utilises its position to tie into America's social and political tension. The Thrombey family's treatment of Ana De Armas' Marta reflects their skewed worldviews as their self-imposed image as worldly saviours allow them to manipulate their position of power to vilifying the only genuinely noble character in this entire film. Marta quickly becomes the hero of the story as she is subjected to the Thrombey's condemnations, yet never stoops to their level of pettiness, choosing to show empathy and kindness to those that don't deserve it.
Intricate Murder Mystery
Viewers are privy to a version of the truth early in the film and what follows is an elaborate cover-up that's trapped in a tangled web of secrecy and lies. Everyone has a motive and the more we learn about Harlan's final night, the more sinister characters become as their greedy ambitions seek to consolidate their position in the family, manipulating events for their own benefit. Conspiracy theories run wild and Rian Johnson cleverly drops revealing clues throughout the film that eventually lead us to the truth. How we get there is a series of fast-paced and highly entertaining search for clues that keep viewers guessing until the very end. It's a film that clearly embraces every classic murder mystery trope but does so with a stylistically modern flair to it, making it a joy to watch.
Brilliant Casting
Knives Out would not be the blockbuster it is without the brilliant cast that heightens the drama of our characters menacing deeds. With seasoned actors working alongside rising stars of the industry, viewers are treated to stellar performances from a cast that relishes in the over the top actions of these absurd characters. The bloated egos of the Thrombey family are a lingering source of tension that heightens the sense of urgency as their desperate attempts to secure their legacy lead to sharp accusations. Ana de Armas shines in her role as the late Harlan Thrombey's nurse, Marta and is the perfect foil to the power-hungry Thombreys, using her kindness to combat their greed, proving that soft hearts are not so easily swayed by the lure of money and power.
What's your all-time favourite murder mystery film?

Loved this movie!! The cast was excellent!
It was such an enjoyable experience.
Aila @ One Way Or An Author
Watched this movie because of the cast and movie mystery! Butttt I didn't like the way the murder was resolved, rip. I thought it was kind of anticlimactic, to be honest? So glad you ended up loving it though!
I could have done with a couple of extra scenes at the end just because I wanted to know what happened next, but I adored the film haha.

This is one that I want to watch!
It is brilliant. It's such a fun film.
Loved this movie and love your review/reasons to watch! I usually get easily bored with murder mysteries, because so many of them are just utterly predictable, but Knives Out just keeps you on your toes in a way. I adored the casting choices all around and was really happy to see Chris in a different kind of role, especially after the often virtuous portrayal of Cap the past years. This was so much fun 🙂
This was a breath of fresh air for the genre and I really hope the sequel doesn't buy into the hype and focuses on an equally as a compelling story. Chris clearly had the time of his life as this asshole of a character haha.
Yeah, I hope it won't become too tropey in the next installment. Sequels after such a surprise success are always kind of tricky. And while Craig's character was interesting, it was really carried more by Ana's character and her story, so the sequel needs a rocking cast/mystery that's at least on par with this one.

I loved this movie but… I have a funny story with it. My husband and I live in India temporarily and in December we traveled home for the holidays and we went to see the movie with my sister and her boyfriend. But given the time difference that we are now used to and the jet lag, both my husband and I fell asleep during the movie. I was so embarrassed.
That is a brilliant story and I don't blame you guys for falling asleep, especially after such a long journey, so you guys get a free pass for falling asleep haha.

This sounds like a fascinating movie! I haven't seen a murder mystery in a while so I'll add this one to my to-watch list 🙂
It's one of the most engaging films I've seen in the murder mystery genre. It's brilliant.
I loved this movie too!! I honestly wasn't sure that I would tbh so I'm definitely happy that I went ahead and watched it when it came out. The cast is incredible, like you said, and it seemed to somehow perfectly balance it's comic moments with the murder mystery to keep you guessing. I had no idea that there was a sequel planned but I definitely want to watch it.
Just quietly, I am here for Daniel Craig being its own reason to watch this!!
Daniel Craig is always a good selling point.

I loved Knives Out, the acting and the story were amazing, and I loved the house were it was set. Everything about it seemed mysterious and slightly whimsical.
Marta was also an awesome main character! And the actor who played her did such a good job. 🙂
-Quinley
The house felt like a character in itself with so many hidden nooks and crannies. Marta was the star of the show in my eye. 😀

Previous Post Ranking: The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Six Original Avengers
Next Post Book Review: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller


The seven song EP begins with the instrumental opener appropriately titled "Deep Water," which offers salted and murky riffs which eventually close with a whirlpool that leads into track number two known as "Boundaries." The high energy and rhythmically sophisticated track is a single-worthy anthem that introduces the delicate yet stealthy range and power of vocalist Sarah Gallen's pipes.
Perhaps the most lyrically profound is the fifth song in, "Florist," which is a self-analytical and somewhat confessional piece about recognizing the step that must be taken backwards in order to see the bigger picture.
Track number six is the band's first single, known as "Spare Lungs," which contains tinges of favorite moments from The Wonder Years and The Story So Far. Catchy hooks, mechanical rhythms, toasty bass, crispy distortion, and dualing vocals make this an obvious choice for winning the hearts of pop punk fans all across the board.
Treading Oceans' self-titled EP demonstrates a wide possibility for the band's future in the budding sadcore niche of the rock scene. It is quite apparent that their versatility, positive energy, and passion will take them far.


Whistler/Blackcomb is located in the Coast Mountain Range of British Columbia, consistently offering the most reliable snow conditions. It receives an average annual snowfall in excess of 10 metres (33 feet). Due to Whistler's coastal proximity, temperatures are moderate through the winter season, expect -5°C (22°F) average daily alpine temperatures during most of the winter months.

The principle of equi-marginal utility can be explained with the help of the diagram given below. In this figure. along the axis OX. from left to right on the portion OX) is measured the quantity of the good A and from right to left, on the portion OX') is measured the quantity of the good B. Along the axis OY is measured uti lily of the amounts of money spent on the goods A and B. On the right hand side of OY is drawn a curve Ua which slopes downwards from left to right. This curve shows the marginal utility of the money spent on commodity A. On the other side of OY is drawn the curve Ub which slopes downwards from right to the left. This curve shows the marginal utility of money spent on the good B.
Hence, the law will not hold good of irrational purchases.
(il') Ignorance of consumers imposes another limitation. The consumers may not be aware of other more useful alternatives. Hence, no substitution takes place and the law of substitution does not operate. Similarly, an incompetent entrepreneur will not be able to achieve the best results from his productive resources. He may not be able to divert investment to more profitable channels.
(v) People are sometimes slaves of customs or fashion and are incapable of rational consumption. Without being rational and calculating, a consumer cannot substitute one thing for another. The is another limitation on the law.
(vi) Another limitation arises from the fact that goods are not divisible into small bits to enable consumers to equalise marginal utilities. In actual practice, therefore, the marginal utilities cannot be equalised. The law remains only on a theoretical plane.
(vii) The law of substitution has no place w hen the resources are unlimited as in the case of free goods. In such cases, there is no need to re-arrange expenditure because no price is to be paid whatever the quantity used. Mii) There is no definite budget period in the ease of individuals. Even if there is fixed accounting period, the application of this principle is rendered difficult by the varying degrees of durability of the goods consumed. A durable good is available for consumption in several succeeding accounting periods. It is not, therefore, easy to bring it into account of income and expenditure of a particular accounting period to see if satisfaction has been maximise during that period.
(ix) The basic criticism of the law of equimarginal utility is that it rests on some questionable assumptions. For example, we assume that utilities can be added and compared and that during successive purchases, the marginal utility of money to the consumer remains constant. TIle modem economists question both these assumptions. The indifference curve approach to. the theory of consumer's equilibrium is based on this basic criticism of the Marshallian analysis. Conclusion. In spite of these points of criticism, the law of equi-marginal utility occupies a very important place in economic theory, Whether it is a case of consumer's equilibrium, producer's equilibrium, allocation of resources or distribution of the national income among the productive agents, this law has a determining influence according to Marshallian analysis.
Public Finance. Public expenditure of a government conforms to this Law. Even a government is under the necessity of deriving maximum amount of benefit from its public expenditure. It must try to maxi mise welfare of the community. For this purpose it must cut down all wasteful expenditure. Conclusion. Thus the Law of Substitution applies in all branches of economic theory. It has also got great practical importance.

# Kapacitor

Kapacitor is an open source data processing engine written in Go. It can process both stream and batch data.

[Kapacitor Official Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/introduction/getting_started/)

![logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-library/docs/43d87118415bb75d7bb107683e79cd6d69186f67/kapacitor/logo.png)

## Using this image

### Using the default configuration

Start the Kapacitor container with default options:

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 kapacitor
```

Start the Kapacitor container sharing the data directory with the host:

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 \
      -v $PWD:/var/lib/kapacitor \
      kapacitor
```

Modify `$PWD` to the directory where you want to store data associated with the Kapacitor container.

You can also have Docker control the volume mountpoint by using a named volume.

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 \
      -v kapacitor:/var/lib/kapacitor \
      kapacitor
```

### Configuration

Kapacitor can be either configured from a config file or using environment variables. To mount a configuration file and use it with the server, you can use this command:

Generate the default configuration file:

```console
$ docker run --rm kapacitor kapacitord config > kapacitor.conf
```

Modify the default configuration, which will now be available under `$PWD`. Then start the Kapacitor container.

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 \
      -v $PWD/kapacitor.conf:/etc/kapacitor/kapacitor.conf:ro \
      kapacitord
```

Modify `$PWD` to the directory where you want to store the configuration file.

For environment variables, the format is `KAPACITOR_$SECTION_$NAME`. All dashes (`-`) are replaced with underscores (`_`). If the variable isn't in a section, then omit that part. If the config section is an array, use a number to set the nth value in the configuration file.

Examples:

```console
KAPACITOR_HOSTNAME=kapacitor
KAPACITOR_LOGGING_LEVEL=INFO
KAPACITOR_REPORTING_ENABLED=false
KAPACITOR_INFLUXDB_0_URLS_0=http://influxdb:8086
```

Find more about configuring Kapacitor [here](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/introduction/installation/)

### Exposed Ports

-	9092 TCP -- HTTP API endpoint

#### Subscriptions

Subscriptions allow InfluxDB to push data to Kapacitor for faster alerting instead of requiring Kapacitor to pull data from InfluxDB.

These examples assume you are using a custom configuration file that takes advantage of Docker's built-in service discovery capability. In order to do so, we'll first create a new network:

```console
$ docker network create influxdb
```

Next, we'll start our InfluxDB container named `influxdb`:

```console
$ docker run -d --name=influxdb \
      --net=influxdb \
      influxdb
```

Start the Kapacitor container with the container hostname matching the container name so Kapacitor can automatically create subscriptions correctly and with the `KAPACITOR_INFLUXDB_0_URLS_0` value set to point at InfluxDB.

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 \
    --name=kapacitor \
    -h kapacitor \
    --net=influxdb \
    -e KAPACITOR_INFLUXDB_0_URLS_0=http://influxdb:8086 \
    kapacitor
```

You can also start Kapacitor sharing the same network interface of the InfluxDB container. If you do this, Docker will act as if both processes were being run on the same machine.

```console
$ docker run -p 9092:9092 \
      --name=kapacitor \
      --net=container:influxdb \
      kapacitor
```

When run like this, InfluxDB can be communicated with over `localhost`.

### CLI / SHELL

Start the container:

```console
$ docker run --name=kapacitor -d -p 9092:9092 kapacitor
```

Run another container linked to the `kapacitor` container for using the client. Set the env `KAPACITOR_URL` so the client knows how to connect to Kapacitor. Mount in your current directory for accessing TICKscript files.

```console
$ docker run --rm --net=container:kapacitor \
      -v $PWD:/root -w=/root -it \
      kapacitor bash -l
```

Then, from within the container, you can use the `kapacitor` command to interact with the daemon.

See [this](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/latest/introduction/getting_started/) for a more detailed getting started guide with Kapacitor.

# Image Variants

The `kapacitor` images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.

## `kapacitor:<version>`

This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of. This tag is based off of [`buildpack-deps`](https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/buildpack-deps/). `buildpack-deps` is designed for the average user of docker who has many images on their system. It, by design, has a large number of extremely common Debian packages. This reduces the number of packages that images that derive from it need to install, thus reducing the overall size of all images on your system.

## `kapacitor:alpine`

This image is based on the popular [Alpine Linux project](http://alpinelinux.org), available in [the `alpine` official image](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine). Alpine Linux is much smaller than most distribution base images (~5MB), and thus leads to much slimmer images in general.

This variant is highly recommended when final image size being as small as possible is desired. The main caveat to note is that it does use [musl libc](http://www.musl-libc.org) instead of [glibc and friends](http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html), so certain software might run into issues depending on the depth of their libc requirements. However, most software doesn't have an issue with this, so this variant is usually a very safe choice. See [this Hacker News comment thread](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10782897) for more discussion of the issues that might arise and some pro/con comparisons of using Alpine-based images.

To minimize image size, it's uncommon for additional related tools (such as `git` or `bash`) to be included in Alpine-based images. Using this image as a base, add the things you need in your own Dockerfile (see the [`alpine` image description](https://hub.docker.com/_/alpine/) for examples of how to install packages if you are unfamiliar).

Q: Angularjs: how to set default value of input type number with out controller function When I try to solve this I found ng-init solution but it is also not working, it shows the following error.

Error: [ngModel:numfmt] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.6.4/ngModel/numfmt?p0=pd.ava_qty
Stack trace:

Here is my code

                {{pd.name}}
                {{pd.pur_qty}}
                {{pd.ava_qty}}
                <input type="number" ng-model="order_qty" ng-init="order_qty='pd.ava_qty'"  max="{{pd.ava_qty}}" min="0" />

A: You have define the input to type="number" but setting the value to text
ng-init="order_qty='pd.ava_qty'"
Try it like this
ng-init="order_qty=pd.ava_qty"

A: you error says it expects pd.ava_qty to be a number
so in your ng-init you can have pd.ava_qty = 10 or any number you want as your default

            {{pd.name}}
            {{pd.pur_qty}}
            {{pd.ava_qty}}

Natural immunity to disease develops once a person is exposed to or becomes sick with that disease.
If you think there is a possibility you may have natural immunity to a disease, it may make sense for Trusted Labs to test your immunity before proceeding with vaccination.
A blood test for immunity can tell you whether you are protected.


That said, I want to highlight two caveats that aren't immediately obvious from the NLIHC report or the Denver Post article that has gone viral. In fact, I covered the 2015 version of the Out of Reach report and missed them. I don't think the NLIHC is trying to be misleading. Its guide to the report (pdf) is quite straightforward. But these details aren't immediately obvious from the headlines, either.
Families who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing are considered cost burdened and may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care.
Second, the Denver Post article suggests that the fair-market rents used in the report are for "safe areas," although I haven't found that qualification in the NLIHC information. But that would skew the rent numbers upward.
Neither of which is to say that the housing market is totally fair and you can get by just fine on a minimum wage. It's not and you can't, and if we don't figure out how to get more affordable housing onto the market or raise the minimum wage, we're all going to feel the negative impact. But the reality is a bit less sensational than the headline.

About Jhpiego
Become a Global Citizen
Home Countries We Support India
Since the 1980s, working to save lives and improve health for the most vulnerable.
In the past four years, Jhpiego has supported the Government of India to save the lives of an estimated 83,000 children and 9,900 women through improved contraceptive services. Averting an estimated 16.4 million unintended pregnancies and 10 million abortions saved an estimated US$549 million (INR 38.5 billion) in direct health care spending.1
An independent evaluation of Jhpiego's initiative in India to implement the World Health Organization's Safe Childbirth Checklist (which addresses the major causes of maternal death, intrapartum-related stillbirths and neonatal deaths) showed an 11% decline in still births and very early neonatal deaths at the 100 health care facilities where it was implemented.
Through its collaboration with the public and private sectors, Jhpiego helped ensure that competent health care workers provided high-quality childbirth services for more than 2.8 million deliveries across the country.
As a result of Jhpiego's work in India in 2018, 38 national and subnational policies, regulations, guidelines and strategies were approved. Also, Jhpiego-led advocacy resulted in more than US$49 million mobilized at the national level and more than US$6 million at subnational level.
1Estimates calculated using Impact 2 (Marie Stopes International) and data as of September 2018.
Our Technical Areas in India
Cervical & Breast Cancer
Comprehensive Primary Health Care - NISHTHA: Transforming Comprehensive Health Care in India
This five-year project, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, aims to transform, redesign and re-engineer primary health care in India. Jhpiego is working to ensure the availability of a skilled workforce, create sustainable training ecosystems and improve health care infrastructure and responsive health systems. At the end of the project, Jhpiego will have established a series of learning labs across the country and upgraded and operationalized an estimated 30,050 health facilities into functional health and wellness centers, providing approximately 143 million people with access to high-quality, comprehensive primary health care services.
Improving Breast Health Care
With support from the Johns Hopkins University, Jhpiego is providing technical assistance to the Government of Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand to improve access to high-quality breast health care for women in India. For this program, the cornerstones of Jhpiego's evidence-based strategy include a strong learning agenda among providers and communities, and demonstration of a well-functioning early detection system at the primary health care level that links to timely referral to a designated tertiary care hospital.
Expanding Access to Intrauterine Contraceptive Device Services (Phase II)
This program, supported by a philanthropic investment from an anonymous donor, aims at dramatically expanding access to long-term and reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods to women at the sub-district level in the two states of Odisha and Chhattisgarh. While focusing on ensuring quality of care, the program works to establish and strengthen services to provide both the postpartum and the interval (general) intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD), as well as postabortion family planning and family planning counseling. The goal of Phase II of this program is to ensure sustained contraceptive prevalence rates in the states of Odisha and Chhattisgarh at its 388 program facilities (187 Phase I facilities plus 201 new facilities), with an emphasis on ensuring that LARCs such as IUCDs are part of the expanded contraceptive choices offered.
Strengthening Postpartum Family Planning and Quality of Family Planning Services in Bihar
Funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Jhpiego provides strategic technical assistance to the Government of Bihar for facilitating the implementation of a comprehensive, multi-year implementation strategy for postpartum family planning (PPFP), along with scaling up some components of the strategy in five focus districts (Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Saran, Bhagalpur and Madhubani). In addition, this initiative seeks to demonstrate a feasible, efficient and effective programmatic model to strengthen provision of high-quality family planning services in the same five districts. The PPFP services include the Lactational Amenorrhea Method, postpartum intrauterine contraceptive devices and postpartum sterilization. In addition to expanding access to PPFP services, the program piloted the introduction of progestin-only pills in public sector health facilities in Gaya district. The program's long-term goal is to address unmet need for modern contraceptive methods, in particular during the postpartum period, thereby empowering women and couples in India to fulfill their reproductive health wishes.
Ensuring Quality and Informed Choice for Family Planning
Funded by a philanthropic investment from an anonymous donor, this program focuses on ensuring that women in India are fully supported to select the family planning method that best suits their needs. To this end, Jhpiego has successfully piloted an innovative model to support the Government of Jharkhand in implementing a range of policies, capacity-building approaches, and managerial/operational processes and tools. Under this program, Jhpiego plans to implement the lessons learned from the state of Jharkhand in select districts of Maharashtra and Assam. Jhpiego will convene and actively engage government family planning champions as "thought partners" and messengers to propel statewide scale-up of a quality improvement model in Maharashtra and Assam through data-driven advocacy at district and state levels. Jhpiego will also assist in the rollout of reformed incentive mechanisms to ensure that success is defined not only by the number of new acceptors, but also by the assurance that each woman has received the best available method to meet her needs.
Dakshata: The Government of India's Strategic Initiative for Quality Improvement in Labor Rooms
Jhpiego has been the lead technical partner in developing Dakshata, the Government of India's strategic initiative aimed at strengthening the quality of care during and immediately after childbirth through competent, skilled and confident providers. This initiative has been funded by various organizations, including the Children's Investment Fund Foundation. The Dakshata program uses the World Health Organization's Safe Childbirth Checklist as a framework for improving the skills of health care workers, prioritizing resource availability, improving compliance to safe care practices and improving use of data for action.
Manyata: Sustaining Quality Assurance Accreditation for Maternal Health Care in India's Private Sector
Based on the success of a previous program that leveraged private enterprise to improve maternal, newborn health and family planning in India, MSD for Mothers (as Merck for Mothers is known in India) is supporting Jhpiego to implement Manyata, a program targeting private-sector health care facilities in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Under this program, Jhpiego works closely with partners to develop and validate a viable and investable business model for a quality assurance mechanism, while laying the groundwork for sustainable quality improvement efforts in the maternal health care private sector in India.
Born Healthy: Addressing Maternal Infections to Improve Newborn Outcomes
Funded by the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, the Born Healthy program is testing a proof of concept to transform the way antenatal care (ANC) is provided in Rajasthan. The program is an attempt to devise an evidence-based ANC model with a special focus on the identification and management of maternal infections as well as strengthening targeted supplementation of iron and calcium during pregnancy. Jhpiego is testing a model of improved ANC—called group antenatal care—that also uses technology in the form of point-of-care diagnostics to make testing and treatment of key high-risk maternal conditions efficient, cost-effective and readily available. Strengthening identification and tracking of high-risk pregnancies is also a key focus area. The program has initially been introduced in 125 facilities across 14 blocks of four districts of the state of Rajasthan (Bundi, Dholpur, Karauli and Udaipur). The program aims to achieve a pan-country scalability through informing the ANC guidelines for the country.
Defining an Operational Model for Antenatal Care-Based Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Screening and Management
Funded by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk, Jhpiego, in collaboration with the Government of India and the Government of Madhya Pradesh, implemented a two-year demonstration project (2015–2017) in Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh to operationalize an antenatal care (ANC) based service delivery model for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening and management, as envisioned in the national GDM guidelines. Now, through additional support from World Diabetes Foundation, Jhpiego is providing support to the national government to scale up the intervention at the national level and continue its work in Madhya Pradesh. Additional assistance in Hoshangabad district will also expand to Betul district, essentially to make these districts as model sites for GDM implementation for Madhya Pradesh and for the nation.
Improving Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes through Technology Driven Interventions: Alliance for Saving Mothers and Newborn
The Alliance for Saving Mothers and Newborns (ĀSMĀN) is a major health care technology-driven initiative that is being funded by the Reliance Foundation, U.S. Agency for International Development, Tata Trusts, MSD for Mothers (as Merck for Mothers is known in India) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The ASMAN program is being implemented in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to help create innovative, facility-based interventions that enable provision of high-quality care during and immediately after childbirth.
Performance Management and Action Project (PMA)
This four-year project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, builds on the PMA2020 project, which used innovative mobile technology to support low-cost, rapid-turnaround surveys monitoring key health and development indicators. PMA is enhancing this survey platform to generate high-quality data and ensure that governments, donors, managers and advocates use this data to make decisions regarding family planning programs. In addition to scaling up the survey platform for more widespread use, this project supports expanding it to include additional technical areas. Co-led by Jhpiego and the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health, this project is operational in several African and Asian countries, including India.
Assessment of Home-Based Newborn Care in 15 High-Priority Districts of "SAMPURNA" Strategy in Odisha
With funding from UNICEF, Jhpiego is conducting an eight-month assessment of home-based newborn care (HBNC) in 15 high-priority districts of the "SAMPURNA" strategy in the state of Odisha. The assessment focuses on service delivery, health workforce, governance, health information system and availability of medical products in order to identify strengths and performance gaps pertaining to the HBNC program. In addition to pinpointing enablers and bottlenecks, the assessment is also examining the perceptions of providers and beneficiaries—all of which will inform rollout strategies of future programs and interventions. Results will inform a high-level committee constituted by the state government of Odisha on reducing neonatal mortality in the state. Based on findings, the committee will develop recommendations to be implemented through the government of Odisha with support from UNICEF.

With a slight nip in the air, and Diwali round the corner, it's that time of the year, when friends and family gather to celebrate the festive season!
For us in public health, we know that each day is a joyous celebration when a child is born by choice, not chance; when children and adolescents make a healthy transition to adulthood; and, when health care reaches the remotest and most vulnerable homes.
This year, on September 25th, we brought together more than 200 colleagues – key policy makers and government officials, champions from the field, health care providers, bilateral and multilateral partners, donors, international and national NGOs, and thousands more who joined us online (#MCSPIndia) – to celebrate the legacy of USAID's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP) in India, as we shared program learnings at its national dissemination meeting in New Delhi.

The people we serve
From Screening to Cleaning: This Nurse Leads by Example
Early on Monday morning, the 30-year-old nurse in charge of the health and wellness center in Awang Wabagai scans the facility, checking to be sure everything is clean and ready for the clients who will soon arrive. "I never expected myself to be a team leader of community health workers at a health center," Maibam
An auxiliary nurse-midwife convinces a couple twice her age to quit a lifelong tobacco habit.
Hitting the Road for Health
The U.S. Agency for International Development's flagship Maternal and Child Survival Program, led by Jhpiego, provides technical assistance for India's initiative to strengthen comprehensive primary health care.
A New Family Planning Leader
Dr. Vikas Kaushal knew he wasn't cut out for a desk job. He also knew he'd found his place when he started working for Jhpiego in community medicine—a specialty that allows him to have a positive impact on large numbers of people.
Happy as he was to join Jhpiego and settle down to work in the Motihari district (with additional responsibilities in Saran district) in Bihar state in north-eastern India, he was caught off guard by the vast difference between what he had learned in classrooms and books and the reality of practicing community medicine in districts with some of the poorest health indicators in India.
Helping a Newborn Take His First Breath
It was a safe delivery, but this newborn didn't let out a cry. Nurse Sarika moved swiftly, using her skills to ensure he took his first breath in "the golden minute." Today, Mantosh Singh's son is healthy and happy.
Quality over Quantity in Family Planning Services
"If there is no quality what is our work then!" states Ms. Subha Jha, RMNCH+A Counselor at the Sherghati Sub-Divisional Hospital (SDH), a facility that has vowed to put quality at the forefront in the provision of family planning services.
Training Nurses to Save Lives at Birth
Yasmeen Bano's baby was coming early—and in a rush of blood. She was 7 months pregnant, and she began bleeding while visiting her parents' home.
A Young Girl's Dream
Dibyashree Behara wanted to become a nurse so she could help the people in her rural village in eastern Indian. A new online application process for nursing schools in Odisha state supported by Jhpiego has helped make her dream come true.
Doctor Is the Face of a State's Commitment to Family Planning
A known face at Allahabad's busy District Women's Hospital—a hospital that caters to about 400 clients per day and 350 births per month—is that of the hospital gynecologist, Dr. Sharmeen Ahmed. She is also a state-level master trainer for postpartum IUCD (PPICUD) services and has trained hundreds of providers from her state of Uttar Pradesh

Lumen Martin Winter was born on December 12, 1908? in Ellery, Illinois. When he was three years old his family moved to Larned in western Kansas, to a ranch located along the Santa Fe Trail. The memory of the Santa Fe Trail influenced Winter's western art throughout his life. Winter worked creating watercolors, oil, murals in marble and bronze, mosaics, block prints, stone lithography and etchings.
Winter studied at Grand Rapids Junior College in Michigan and briefly attended the Cleveland School of Art in Ohio. He went on to study art at the National Academy of Design, Grand Central School of Art and Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, all in New York City. He also studied in France and Italy. Winter's instructors included Ivan Olinsky, Eric Pape and Walter Biggs. He knew and was influenced by Thomas Hart Benton and John Stuart Curry. Became long-time friends with Norman Rockwell while working on murals at the United Nations in New York City.
Winter established studios in Sante Fe, New Mexico starting in 1939 however he worked all over the country. He served as an artist with the Signal Corps in the U.S. Air Force during World War II. From 1941-1944, Winter assisted Ezra Winter(no relation) with the Radio City Music Hall murals in New York City, and created murals at the Hutchinson, Kansas post office (Threshing in Kansas) and public schools in New York City.
Winter contributed mosaic murals and bas-relief sculptures for the U.S. Air Force Academy chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado; paintings and murals for the 1964 World's Fair; the insignia and medallion for the Apollo XIII lunar mission; and a bas-relief frieze for the Gerald R. Ford Health & Physical Education Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan (destroyed).
Some of Winter's work can be and had been found in the Friars Club (destroyed 2011) in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Library of Congress, murals in AFL-CIO headquarters, Washington DC, and the National Wildlife Federation headquarters (destroyed?), at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Other locations include the Church of St. Paul the Apostle, New York City, the Kansas State Capitol Rotunda, the Kansas Museum of History, a mural for the former Daytop Village building in New York City. Winter's 48-foot-tall bronze statue, the Rosary Madonna, was cast in Italy, blessed by Pope John XXIII at the Vatican, and now can be seen at the Marian Shrine in Stony Point, New York. Later in life, Winter created artwork for the City of New Rochelle, New York, including its public library and the Thornton-Donovan School.

We were so excited to share the Crimson Spires demo with the public this week! At this point in our development, the game is approximately half complete. A lot of the game is done, but we still have a long way to go! So we'd like to share some of our development process with everyone here. This is a continuation of the dev log we used to keep on our Patreon (currently closed). We'll try to post with more updates as time allows!
Prepare new demo for release!
Compose new music for romantic moments
Change the colors of Jones's outfit
Set up barns for use in the 3D environment
Down-sizing a Demo
As excited as we were to make the Crimson Spires demo public for the first time, we experienced plenty of frustrations preparing the build. This game will probably be our largest yet in every way, including memory size. We knew we would need to delete a lot of assets from the full game in order to trim the demo to a pallet-able snack size. And this meant deleting a LOT of assets.
To spare you many tedious technical details, I'll just say that we had trouble deleting the correct assets without causing errors. Our first few build attempts were missing some important files, so they failed. It took several attempts to juggle files around before we got a build that worked. But we finally got it working, and now we're really excited to receive feedback from people who try it out!
The Scandal of Jones's Pants
We also had the pleasure of sharing our demo with a live audience this week. It was a great opportunity to watch reactions in real-time and gauge people's reactions to the opening of the game. In a group setting, people's reactions can be heightened and more apparent than an individual playing alone. People might voice thoughts and reactions to the group that would otherwise stay quiet. In this case, a lot of people in the room started laughing when Jones's first appeared.
We've demoed the game before, but always with individuals playing the demo alone. Never before did we get the reaction we got this time: a lot of people laughing hysterically. And it's because they thought Jones had no pants on!
I'm not sure if it was the size of the TV, the color settings, or if it's just something that no one had ever commented on before. But it did, in fact, look like Jones's had no pants! So naturally, after laughing along with everyone else, we got to work fixing this as quickly as possible.
Now Jones has nice blue jeans instead of skin-colored khakis. Someone also suggested we make his shirt red; it's an inside joke you might get if you play through the demo ;)
De-Bugging Modular Assets
To help build out the world of Bataille, as well as provide some variety to the environment, we've ended up using a few content packs purchased from the UE4 asset store. We're very careful adding these to our game, because we're aware that haphazardly throwing together different modeling/texture styles can lead to an aesthetic mess. Whenever we use something purchased from the asset store, we go through all of the models and textures and make sure that they are sufficiently low-fi, often modifying them to fit the style we've already developed.
Even though this is time consuming in its own way, it still is probably faster than building everything from complete scratch, especially when it comes to modular content. What is modular content? Walls, doors, roofs, and other sections that can be combined to make custom buildings. These are incredibly helpful because (a) they're usually easier to modify to match our style and (b) they can be used to make a variety of structures.
This week, we picked up a content pack specifically for building barns. Since a decent amount of Bataille is spread out and rural, it makes sense there would be a few farms in the area. Unfortunately, this pack was a little more difficult to use than the other two we've added to the project, specifically because of how it flipped certain meshes by using negative scale values. This isn't something we like to do in our projects for some complicated reasons related to using instanced static meshes, so we had to manually edit several of the modular pieces and build our own actors within the game. It wasn't a big deal, however, and now we're ready to fill out some of the outskirts of Bataille with farms/abandoned barns.
Romantic Music for a Horror Game
A challenge we've often faced while working on this game is meshing the horror elements of the story with romantic themes. This challenge presents itself in the music, as well. As we worked on blocking romantic sections of the story, we realized we needed softer, happier music that was not yet present in our soundtrack.
To solve this, Jenny composed a new song in a major key, but she tried to maintain a faint element of bittersweet sorrow in a few areas. To balance it with other tracks, she used a lot of the same instruments present throughout the soundtrack: strings, guitar, clarinet, and viola. She threw in a little harp to emphasize to the wistfulness of romantic emotions.

A two day trip to Beijing earlier known as Peking is the capital of People's Republic of China. The name Beijing also means Northern Capital. We reached Beijing at night and checked in at Ritan International Hotel. The hotel is in the middle of Russina (Little Russia) area of Beijing City and hence you will notice many Russians staying in the hotel. The hotel staff also speaks Chinese and Russian. Rooms were pretty decent. I wish if only they could speak English as good as Russian and Chinese 🙁
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The next morning we drove to the great wall of China. When I reached the place, I was equally dumbfounded and baffled as I was unable to identify the end and beginning of the endless curvy serpentine segments. The Great Wall of China can be approached from several places and series of walls were built at different times by different emperors. My trek or rather an attempt to climb the stone dragon having a length of over 6000 kilometers began. The Great Wall was built as a defense against possible invasions and the construction of the wall went on for over 2000 years. There were watch towers in the middle of the wall at certain distances. The first few steps were easy but as I progressed ahead I noticed my breathlessness. The steps were huge, steep and uneven. As I kept climbing putting my best foot forward on each stone, I feared that I would develop muscle cramps or tear. The scorching sun began to wear me down and I started feeling dizzy. Darkness started to cloud my vision further ahead. I stood for a while looking down at what I achieved and then further looked up with great disappointment. Still long way to go! I couldn't stop thinking on how many laborers, soldiers were put to work to construct this magnanimous marvel of the world. Even though it got its name as one of the largest wonders of the world, it also got its name as the longest cemetery of the earth during its construction. Few kilometers later exhaustion kicked in where my lungs almost came out of the body unable to breath any further. I stood at one of the watch towers admiring the beautiful mountain ranges across me before descending. I also noticed people holding certificates of climbing the great wall or portion of the wall.
THE FORBIDDEN CITY : The Forbidden City was once a palace and a kingdom within a city built for and by Yongle Emperor, the son of the Heaven. Its one of the biggest palace complexes of the world. Entry to the inner walls of the palace was forbidden for the males except for the Emperor, Empress,his Concubines and Eunuchs. It was considered to be one of the secret places on the earth and even today only few rooms are unlocked for public. Yellow is considered to be the Emperor's color. When you enter the Forbidden city, you notice the construction with red walls and yellow glazed tiles on the roofs symbolizing the sanctum of the son of the heaven. The city was considered as a sacred place and also the seat of the government. The construction of this imperial palace took nearly 14 years to complete. Standing on white marble terraces with carved marble dragons, the two layered building stood graciously in a sprawling wide rectangular space. The hall of supreme harmony is the most important building in the complex. Key events in the life of the emperor took place here. The Emperor's throne was placed on huge white jade dais with engravings of dragons and clouds on it. Dragons symbolizes the Emperor in Chinese. However over time, this hall was hit by many catastrophes and lightening as it was the tallest building in the forbidden city. Hall of Central Harmony is actually a transit lounge for the Emperor where he would recite speeches and receive close ministers. Hall of Preserving Harmony is used for banquets and imperial examinations. All these three halls are on the outer court of the forbidden city. When we proceed towards the inner court, we see Hall of Heavenly Peace where the Emperor sleeps. Special trees named Nanmu were used to build the forbidden city. These trains were only found in South Western China. Monsoon rains were used to float the logs down the mountains and it took years to transport these logs. The pillars which surrounded the supreme harmony is formed out of one single tree.
During those days the largest group in the city were Eunuchs who did all the palace work along with guarding the Empress and Concubines. No male except the Emperor was to be found in the forbidden city. This was also to ensure that the Empress and Concubines were not impregnated by any other male other than the Emperor. The Eunuchs enjoyed all the luxury and privilege within the walled city.
After being home to 24 emperors, the city ceased being the political center of China with the abdication of the last emperor. What remained was a crumbling palace and ultimately it stood true to its name…Forbidden Palace!. Years of war and neglect left the palace in ruins. Today the government has initiated steps to restore the palace to its original glory.
TIANANMEN SQUARE : Tiananmen Square is the largest city square in the capital city. At the north end of the square is the Tiananmen Tower. The square was the front door to the Forbidden City. There is a huge granite monument to the People's Heroes standing tall at the center of the square. They also have a national museum and a memorial Hall of Chairman Mao on the other end of the square. Surprisingly when the guide explained all these, there was not a single mention about the massacre. Welcome to China!
TEMPLE OF HEAVEN : The Temple of Heaven was constructed during the reign of Yongle Emperor who also constructed Forbidden City. Once a year during the winter, the emperors come to this place to worship and pray for good harvest. Located to the southwest to the altar of prayer is the palace of abstinence where the emperor fasted before the ceremony began. An interesting thing about the hall of prayer is that it is built without nails. Within the hall of prayer, there are 28 columns divided into 4 central pillars to represent seasons. The 12 inner columns represent months and 12 outer columns represent two hour section to make up a day. The animal killing pavilion is where the slaughter of sacrificial animals took place. There is a museum where they have a cross section of the temple to explain the architecture. Number 9 is considered to be very lucky and important number in China. Generally people quote "I am on seventh heaven" whereas to convey the same meaning Chinese quote "I am on cloud nine". They believe that heaven has nine layers. We can notice the impact of number nine in this architecture design too. There are total nine stairs which lead to the main altar hall. Also the marble carvings symbolizes dragon and phoenix which are considered to be a sign of good luck and prosperity in China. Currently the altar has three layers all in same color which is blue. But when it was first built all the three layers were of different colors blue, green and yellow. Blue symbolized sky, yellow in olden days were only used by emperor and was considered to be color of royalty and green symbolized the earth. Later the emperor in Qing dynasty changed all the layers to the blue color as it was used only as a place of worship.
Later when we boarded the bus, one of the group members shared his story on Temple of Heaven. Colonel James Skinner is known for two regiments he raised for the British army later known as 1st Skinner's Horse and 3rd Skinner's Horse. They had fought and seized the temple of heaven as part of the British Army conscription and had taken artifacts during the war. Later in 1994, the Indian Army returned the bell to China which was looted by the British troops and later the bell was put up for display by the Chinese Military. The guy who narrated this story was part of this regiment during his tenure with the army.
BIRD'S NEST : Beijing National Stadium is also known as Bird's Nest due to the design of the building. You cannot miss the site as its on a straight axis when you visit the Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
SUMMER PALACE : A boat ride in Kunming Lake to the largest royal park in China. One can notice the longevity hill and the traditional marble lake. Many locals are seen here fishing and strolling in the park. They also laze around in groups and play Chinese checkers and Mahjong. The royal families preferred to stay in the Summer Palace and enjoy the beautiful gardens and airy pavilions rather than the walled Forbidden City.
JADE FACTORY : A visit to the jade factory was rather part of the compulsory stops for the tourist group. People in China wear Jade bracelets to improve blood circulation and they also consider it to bring longevity and good luck. The guide explained us the process of Jade making and how to differentiate good quality jade from the others. I took a small clip of the explanation where she dots and scolds everybody to listen to her speech. An interesting fact is Jade being so hard can only be cut and carved by diamond and they continuously run it through the water to cool off the temperature to avoid breaking due to excessive heat.
GOLDEN MASK SHOW : I would highly recommend The Golden Mask Dynasty Show at Happy Valley on your visit to the city. This is truly one of the best shows of China. The entire stage moves 360 degrees during a scene depicting war background. The best part of the show was the flood scene. Water literally gushes down from the elevated platform of the stage and reaches the front seats where we sat. Though the story line is a little weak, but the visual effects and choreography of the show surpasses it. I have only one word to describe the show : GRANDEUR!
Beijing had more history and is culturally more rich compared to Shanghai. You get a sense of real China with a conservative outlook and lack of free speech when you walk down the lanes of the capital city.

Hey, could I check with you on the air condition in Beijing while you were there? Been thinking of visiting too but everybody is saying the smog is near a daily affair.

Hey, I visited Beijing, Xi'an and Shanghai in 2014 and found the weather to be good…Not sure of the present conditions.
Thanks for informing! Looking at your pictures, it doesn't seem bad at all. But things could have worsen.


Price : Rs 95 for 50 gm.
It leaves skin squeaky clean and removes all dirt from the face. Your skin feels quite fresh after you wash your face with this facial foam.
It has a mild fragrance, which I like.
The tube packaging is really nice and lightweight. It's easier to carry around.
It lathers pretty well. Although I am not too keen on the lather part but a few people prefer that.
It leaves that slippery feeling behind and I keep rubbing my face until it gets over.
It dries my skin more than I prefer. In fact, sometimes I feel it strips off complete moisture from my face and I need a heavy lotion to combat the dryness. Definitely not for people with normal to dry skin.
It contains parabens as preservatives.
Lotus being a herbal brand I would have preferred it to be soap free.
The consistency of the facial foam is quite runny so I always end up taking out more product than required.
Overall , it is my least favourite product from the range. May be good or oily to combination skin but people with dry skin, I suggest that you stay away from this.
I changed. I am sorry….
yeah I would have definitely preferred a soap free face wash.
uuuuuuuufffffffffffff why all Skin Whitening Facial Foam make dry skin and only for work for oily skin huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
N was happy with the results, even tried it on hubby n MiL n they too were happy.
Cd'nt control myself when saw the below Whiteglow Kit on FnY @ Rs. 619/- (instead of MRP of Rs. 825/-). hv ordered the kit today n few mins aftr that the kit was allready sold out.
Now awaiting delivery of the same.
I have liked the scrub and masque from this range and want to try the creme and serum next… but i really am not interested in the facewash….

It literally had hundreds, if not thousands of pictures of women wearing strapons.
