Wetlands and wetland boundaries: problems, expectations, perceptions and reality
Paul Adam
School of Biological Science University of New South Wales PO Box 1 Kensington NSW 2033.
The introduction of State Environmental Planning Policy 14 (coastal Wetlands) in December, 1985 was a major advance in the protection of coastal wetland habitats in New South Wales. The policy has, however, been the subject of continuing criticism and controversy. Landholders and rural organizations have sought to make political capital out of what are seen as faults with various aspects of the policy and have continued to press for its revision.

Carnival Corporation Fined $20 Million Over Ocean Pollution
By Sarah Bretz
Carnival Corporation has reached a settlement with federal prosecutors. - Photo by Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival Corporation has reached a settlement with federal prosecutors, agreeing to pay a $20 million penalty for polluting the ocean. Despite previously being convicted for the same thing through their Princess Cruises brand in 2016 and paying a $40 million penalty for that, the company's cruise ships continued to emit pollution.
Carnival Corporation's CEO Arnold Donald stood up and admitted guilt in front of a packed courtroom, including company chairman Micky Arison. "The company pleads guilty…We acknowledge the shortcomings. I am here today to formulate a plan to fix them."
Senior U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz approved the agreement following the guilty plea, responding with "The proof will be in the pudding, won't it? If you all did not have the environment, you would have nothing to sell."
The company was put on five years' probation following the Princess Cruises conviction for discharging oily waste from their ships and purposefully and carefully covering it up. Since then, they violated terms of their probation and have confirmed that they've dumped "gray water" in prohibited places include Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska and knowingly allowed plastic to be discharged along with food waste in the Bahamas. Carnival Corporation also admitted falsifying compliance documents and having cleanup teams clean their ships just before scheduled inspections.
Carnival has promised additional audits to check for violations, a better system for reporting environmental violations, and a restructuring of the company's compliance and training programs, under the agreement. Deadlines were also set for aspects of the agreement for this fall, and the company will be charged fines of $1 million per day if the deadlines aren't met. If a second round of deadlines aren't met, the fines could increase to $10 million per day.
Previously, Seitz had threatened to prevent Carnival Corporation's ships from docking at U.S. ports because of the violations, and said she might hold executives personally responsible. "The concern I have is that senior management has no skin in the game. My goal is to have the defendant change its behavior."
Three people who said they were victims of the company's environmental violations attended the hearing. Their lawyer, Knoll Lowney, expressed skepticism that this conviction will actually change Carnival's behavior. "Time and time again, Carnival has shown its contempt of environmental laws and the rule of law," he said. "Here we are again."

Kurtenbach: The Warriors need more than Kelly Oubre to be title contenders in 2021
The Golden State Warriors' trade for Kelly Oubre was a solid (and expensive) move. But they'll need more than a streaky 25-year-old wing to replace Klay Thompson.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA – DECEMBER 31: Kelly Oubre Jr. #3 of the Phoenix Suns high fives Devin Booker #1 after scoring against the Golden State Warriors during the first half of the NBA game at Talking Stick Resort Arena on December 31, 2018 in Phoenix, Arizona. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
By Dieter Kurtenbach |
PUBLISHED: November 20, 2020 at 7:00 a.m. | UPDATED: November 20, 2020 at 8:32 a.m.
The Deets is a weekday morning dose of commentary — delivered at 7 a.m. — from sports columnist Dieter Kurtenbach that wraps up everything important in the world of sports and looks forward to another crazy day ahead.
Kelly Oubre is a nice pickup for the Warriors. Adding a young, intriguing talent is a move that's particularly refreshing in the wake of Klay Thompson's season-ending injury.
But Golden State is going to need to add a whole lot more than just Oubre into the fold if they want to be considered title contenders in 2021.
Oubre is a solid player and an interesting long-term prospect for Golden State. At worst, he's a competent wing — the Warriors need as many of those as they can get.
But to suggest that he can replace Thompson is lunacy. I like Oubre's game, but he barely covers a portion of Thompson's absence.
Ultimately, Golden State cannot acquire a player who would singlehandedly even come close, so they'll have to fill in for Thompson on the aggregate. The addition of Oubre is only a start to that process.
The foremost goal for the Warriors is to make up Thompson's offensive output. No one is going to shoot like Klay — Stephen Curry might be his only peer — but the Warriors still need to make up the 20 points per game Thompson steadily provides.
Before Thompson's injury, the Warriors were going to boast three 20-point scorers, with each player slotted into his ideal role. Curry was the alpha, Thompson his Splash Brother, and Andrew Wiggins was a third option who could anchor a second unit's offense and drop 30 on nights when other teams forgot about him.
It's not equivalent to the Warriors' salad days, but that's a 1-2-3 that's good enough to contend, even in the rough-and-tumble Western Conference.
But now Wiggins is the No. 2 option. That doesn't suit him — that's the same scenario that earned him a "bust" label in Minnesota.
And No. 3 is Oubre, who averaged 18 points per game last season.
(Expecting James Wiseman to be an offensive force in year one is a recipe for disappointment. Whatever he gives the Warriors on top of a JaVale McGee-like output in his rookie year is gravy.)
Is that a trifecta that's going to keep up with the Lakers? The Clippers? The Nuggets?
I'm not even sure they're on the level of Oubre's old team, the Phoenix Suns, led by Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul, acquired this week in exchange for Oubre and other assets.
Again, this isn't to say that Oubre is a bad player. I really like the trade Golden State made. It's only to say that he alone is insufficient to the Warriors' needs.
Golden State needs to find a few more players of the same ilk as Oubre if they're going to get over this hump created by Thompson's absence.
The Warriors still must find a fourth scorer who would alleviate their need for Draymond Green, Wiseman, Jordan Poole, or Eric Paschall to produce a steady and career-best offensive output. Golden State still needs to add a reliable 15 point-per-game scorer. This, after effectively paying $82 million for Oubre.
Easy enough, right?
My understanding is that the Warriors have not yet officially applied for a $9.3 million injured player exception for Thompson, and that those are not exactly handed out at an expedient rate. It's best, for now, to file that away as a possible avenue for adding a player during the season.
The Warriors do have the taxpayer mid-level exception, worth $5.7 million for one year, and the opportunity to sign as many minimum-value-contract free agents as they want as well.
So… just find a 15 point-per-game scorer with that, right?
Oh, and it'd be nice if that player had some defensive skills, too.
Oubre is a streaky player. When he's on, he's spectacular. When he's off, he's a liability. Focus has been an issue for him throughout his five-year career.
He moves well, has a nice 3-point stroke, and a nose for the basket. In the past, though, he's played like he's in a video game — shot hunting for himself at a near-comical level.
If Golden State is asking for that in 2021, something has gone horribly wrong. Again.
On defense, he has the frame (7-foot-2 wingspan) and on-ball talent to be a viable stopper. But his 1.1 points against per defensive possession last year was no fluke. His off-ball defense is atrocious at times and far too often his man would just waltz past him one-on-one.
All of this highlights how far the Warriors have fallen without the possibility of a full-strength Thompson (which, truth be told, they did not know they had). The lack of a clear No. 2 — and a backcourt defensive ace — drops the Warriors from the ranks of title contenders to the ranks of a team merely trying to make the playoffs.

It puts even more burden on Curry. It asks Green to play like he's 25 again (he's played 10,000 game minutes since then). It forces Wiggins to reach his potential now, at this very moment, lest the Warriors not reach theirs.
And it makes Oubre — a player who would have been an exciting depth pickup a few days ago — a critical piece of the Golden State machine.
Once more: I like the Oubre trade. He's a good player with upside potential and the price is right.
But Golden State is going to need to make a few more offseason waves than just adding the Tsumami Papi to come even close to replacing the second Splash Brother.

Do I Have to Put Up With That?
In any group there will be people who do things that annoy us, whose habits we find irritating, who don't do things "the right way." In any group we will do and say things that others will find strange and maybe even bizarre. But because we are sisters and brothers in Christ, they will put up with us and we will put up with them.
The verb "bear with" is in the present tense, meaning that we must continue to put up with each other day after day. We must not allow irritations and annoyances to disturb our fellowship or diminish our love for each other.
Sometimes that's not an easy thing to do. But if, in God's strength, we have clothed ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, it can be done!
Thank you, Lord, that people put up with the strange things I like and the weird things I do. Help me to put up with the shortcomings of others too. Amen.


It's Fashion Week in New York and again my invitations went astray. Just kidding – I can't afford what most of the shows are displaying in any case, but it's always exciting to see collections from inventive new designers or new creative chiefs showing their first collection for a house.
I did see the MET's China Through the Looking Glass exhibit several times this summer and enjoyed the beauty of the dresses – especially those displayed in close proximity to the Buddhist sculptures as here with Guo Pei's lotus flower dress. If the show had not been so crowded this room could have served as a place of quiet contemplation.
The show was a multimedia extravaganza with film clips chosen by Wong Kar-wai throughout the three floors of the exhibit. Curator Andrew Bolton designed an experience that was visually rich and extravagant. A fine integration of the art and fashion and the cross currents of East and West influencing and interpreting and misinterpreting each other through centuries of contact from early trade in silks, through the history of opium, the Cultural Revolution and beyond to the present. These are light touches at history, but it is all there and may provoke deeper thoughts about cultural appropiations and uses after leaving the crush of visitors in the galleries.
The title of the exhibit seems apt – a world all topsy turvy and difficult to define – what is dream and what is reality.
I've been seeing animals all around the city – live ones certainly, but of course many representations of beasts in art, architecture and store windows. Though I love visits to the Central Park Zoo and the Bronx Zoo, there is always the tension between the excitement of seeing the animals up close and the realization of how compromised their lives are in captivity. I know zoological foundations do much to help the wild cousins of the creatures on display, but I can't help but feel sorrow for the animals in the zoo enclosures.
Upper East Side lions – there are so many in all the boroughs guarding people's homes!
Not a lion but a young snow leopard at the Central Park Zoo.
Griffins are all over the city too – this one in The Metropolitan Museum of Art is from a bronze cauldron. Judging from the griffin's size the cauldron itself must have been enormous! Many of these, including this one, were from Olympia at the sanctuary dedicated to Zeus. It certainly makes sense that the king of the gods would merit a super sized one. According to Herodotus, a cauldron created for King Kroisos of Lydia could hold 2,700 gallons.
And bees – I love bumblebees and try to grow flowers that will entice them to my terrace. I found this fellow in a The Conservatory Garden in Central Park.
And then this large fellow on Fifth Avenue in the Gucci window.
Not sure those are the types of flowers that would attract him, but as he's holding a handbag he'd be hard pressed to gather pollen right now in any case!
I am fascinated by shadow puppets and marionettes. I started collecting them in while in graduate school with a dream of someday visiting Java, Bali and Burma (Myanmar). That dream is yet unfulfilled but planning has begun and will have to include a trip to Borneo too.

All you need to know about rum from French Guiana... in just 5 minutes
© Atout France / Getty Images — In French Guiana, rum comes from the farm, not the factory.
Warm and humid: that's the meteorological cocktail that makes the rum from French Guiana so special. Known for its particularly fruity flavours, in French Guiana as in the West Indies, rum is an institution with a fascinating history.
When the local rum was known as Tafia
The first rums from French Guiana can be traced back to the 17th century. At the time, they were simply made by distilling the "froth" of sugar. "It's the only thing left to do with juice that would make bad sugar", it was said at the time. It was known as "Tafia", and was only drunk by slaves.
On the edge of the Amazon
Only one distillery remains in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, on the edge of the Amazon rainforest in the east. But in the 1930s there were still more than 20 distilleries operating in French Guiana. Today, the hundred or so hectares of sugar cane fields grow on the forest floor, less than two miles from the distillery, on farmland said to be some of the best in French Guiana.
Almost collectors' items
Les Rhums Saint-Maurice sells three different brands of rum: La Belle Cabresse, La Cayennaise, and Le Cœur de Chauffe. You can spot the bottles thanks to their beautiful colourful labels that change almost every year at around carnival time, which takes place between January and March.
Rum from the farm, not the factory
In the Saint-Maurice distillery, they only make rum from the farm. This means alcohol produced by fermenting or distilling freshly pressed sugar cane juices, or vesou. It is during the distillation phase that the rum will take on a particular taste and aroma. It varies between brands, but the alcohol content comes in at around 50-55%.
A home for rum
For safety reasons, visitors can no longer tour the Saint-Laurent distillery, but a Maison du Rhum is being planned. It will reveal the process of making rum, from field to bottle, and offer tastings to visitors.
Bottles and glasses
The Saint-Maurice distillery, fully refurbished in 2015, is home to a little gift shop where you can buy rum and punch glasses bearing the image of La Belle Cabresse. But what exactly is a belle cabresse? It's a light-skinned French Guianan sweetheart, also known as a chabine.
Cuisine with a punch
Rum comes in many forms: as an aperitif in a ti-punch, Planter's punch cocktail, or even infused with fruits and/or spices, as well as a digestive with very sweet aged rums. It is also used in the local cuisine in French Guiana, with a drop being added to some dishes to enhance their flavour.

DURHAM BULLS ATHLETIC PARK It's Day 6 of "Matsui Mania" with the Durham Bulls, and not only does the Japanese legend have some work to do at the plate but his team needs to do some bouncing back.
Hideki Matsui, whose every move is being followed by about three dozen Japanese journalists, is hitting only .111 as he tries to get back to the big leagues with the Tampa Bay Rays.
And he went 0-for-4 the previous night, as the Bulls took a 7-1 whipping from the Charlotte Knights in the opener of their four-game series. Charlotte has won six of seven in the season series with the Bulls, who sit in an unfamiliar last-place spot in the International League's South Division.
Game 2 today will pit Matt Torra (2-5, 6.26) against the Knights' Matt Zaleski (1-1, 7.47). And the Bulls will be celebrating Wool E. Bull's birthday.
Charlotte has Duke alumnus Jim Gallagher on the roster as well as former Bulls Hector Gimenez – who had four hits Saturday – and Dan Johnson and Ray Olmedo.
But it turns out that today is the Bulls' day. Durham gets three home runs and another score on Matsui's mad dash from first in routing the Knights 6-0.
The Bulls take control from the start by getting marks in each of the first five innings.
Jesus Feliciano leads off the game with a double and scores on Matsui's one-out sacrifice fly to left when Tyler Kuhn robs the slugger of an extra-base hit with a diving catch.
It goes to 3-0 in the second, as Mayo Acosta reaches on a one-out error to shortstop Ozzie Martinez before Cole Figueroa launches an 0-1 offering into the bleachers just inside the right-field foul pole.
Durham stretches it to 4-0 in the third, as Matsui rips a two-out single to right and scores all the way from first on Henry Wrigley's double to right.
Acosta makes it 5-0 in the fourth by blasting a one-out, 2-1 pitch over the Blue Monster wall in left for his first Triple-A homer. And in the sixth, Leslie Anderson blasts a two-out, 1-0 pitch into the right-field bleachers to make it 6-0.
Figueroa leads the Bulls' eight-hit attack with a homer and a single for two RBI, while Wrigley doubles and singles with the RBI.
Torra is solid throughout his outing, going six innings and allowing just three hits while striking out three with one walk. John Gaub strikes out five against a walk in three hitless innings for the save.
That the Bulls can play a very high-level game on a good day and need to keep it up.
Matsui's sprint from first to score the run.

7 Months Pregnant Woman Beaten To Death By Her Husband's Relative In Delta
The family of Betty Broderick, who was allegedly beaten to death her husband's family member, are demanding justice for the deceased.
According to human rights activist, Israel Joe, the deceased, who was seven months pregnant died on December 17, 2021, after she was allegedly assaulted by the suspect identified as Jacob alias Tawho in Odimodi town, Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State.
In a petition dated January 4, 2022 and addressed to Burutu Area Commander, the family said that the suspect assaulted the deceased in the presence of her husband, Mr Samuel Broderick, following a heated argument that ensued between them on November 8, 2021.
Betty was rushed to Ogulaha hospital where she was confirmed to have lost her seven months pregnancy.
The doctor later referred them the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) for a C.T.C scan.
"The family of the culprit who had earlier rushed the deceased to the cottage hospital in Ogulaha later became nonchalant as Tawho had prevailed on them to disregard the cries of the deceaced on the ground that she was merely pretending of nurturing any pain,' the petition reads.
"As a result of this abandonment, the deceased family now decided to rush her to another nearby clinic in Udi where she was briefly attended to before referring her to the General Hospital Warri where the deceased was eventually taken and treatment administered on her for a few hours before she finally gave up the ghost on December 17. Her remains has since been deposited at the Warri Central Hospital Mortuary,"
"It is instructive to state that the husband of the deceased, Mr Samuel Broderick was quite complicit in the run up to the demise of Mrs Betty Broderick as he literally stood aloof when Tawho assaulted the deceased
"Additionally, there was little or no financial support from him at the material time the deceased was hospitalised at the cottage hospital Ogulaha and when she was eventually transferred to the Centarl Hospital Warri."
Read details of the incident in the petition and Comrade Joe's Facebook post below:
Domestic Violence leading to the death of a pregnant woman Betty Broderick.
Attention Burutu Area Commander
Delta State Police Command.
The family of Betty Broderick has forwarded a petition to your office through their legal counsel on how one suspected Jacob, relative to the husband of the deceased b.e.a.t up the deceased leading to her loosing her 7 months pregnancy and subsequent d.e.a.t.h.
She struggled to live, but gave up at the Central Hospital, Warri on the 17th of December 2021. Her family demands justice and arrest of Jacob.
Her husband who watched his relative b.e.a.t up his wife to pop owing to an assumption that the wife is not loyal should also be made to face the consequences of his actions.
We would not want the victim's family to take revenge or law into their hands as the husband's family comes to appeal for the b.u.r.i.a.l of their wife and we want the police to do the needful. More details on this space will no doubt infuriate the public.
Comr. Israel Joe.

If we want to use the second sim then we can't use the sdcard,is it true???
If we use sdcard then we can't use the second sim..???
can anybody tell in 32 gb internal memory apps can be saved or not in this mobile???
I am about to buy this phone cuz i m surprised by its specifications. I just need a quick review on its cons. Also if you have a better option under 15000 pls suggest for gaming purpose.
screen to body ratio of 66% is a worst thing to have in a smartphone now-a-days.
Also this same as xolo black for sim and SD card choice or can use both sim card with SD card??
Phone is good but battery backup is not good.
Looks like a good phone. specs look good. I also have heard that the Mediatek processor used on this phone is a good and fast one. although I am not sure about the battery back up. leather used on the top and bottom of the phone and also Toughened glass on both sides should be a sight to behold.


When first graduating college, some young people may not be considering buying a home: however, your twenties are a great time to invest in a home. Credit Unions near Northlake like Leyden Credit Union can help you take the next steps and invest in your future.
If you have already taken out a loan or opened a credit card, you already have established credit, but obtaining a home loan through credit unions near Northlake help you establish your credit on a much larger scale. When you have great credit when you are young, this will help future lenders have trust in you and help you secure more loans in the future. Great credit and confidence from lenders will open you up to many more financial opportunities like purchasing investment properties.
When you purchase a home, you will experience significant tax breaks. Every year you will owe less to the federal government due to homeowner tax credits. These tax breaks are applied to mortgage interest and property tax payments as well as certain expenses with federal income tax. Check with a tax professional to help you understand the full tax benefits of buying a home.
Owning a home means you are investing in your future. When renting an apartment or home, you are not building any equity. The thousands of dollars that you spend on rent each year could be applied to a mortgage. After several years, you would have built a sizable amount of equity into your home. Homeownership and mortgages will also help young people learn financial discipline which can help them secure a financially successful future.
Contact Leyden Credit Union to discuss your options for home loans.

The Next Step Wild Rhythm Tour will hit 22 cities across Canada before heading abroad, and will co-promote upcoming series Lost & Found Music Studios.
Temple Street Productions and DHX's Family Channel are taking the Next Step on tour again, but this time it's going international.
Launching in winter 2016, The Next Step Wild Rhythm Tour will stop in on 22 Canadian cities, before heading abroad for a string of international dates. The exact locations for the shows have not yet been confirmed, but the tour will feature performances in Spain, Ireland and England.
In addition, the tour will promote the upcoming Temple Street and Family Channel series Lost & Found Music Studios, with three stars of the series giving musical performances.
"The show itself is doing terrifically well in lots of countries and in particular in the U.K., Spain, Australia. It was clear there was a huge demand in other territories for more Next Step," Temple Street's managing director John Young explained.
It's also hoped that that global reach will extend to Lost & Found.
"I think one of the big changes we see now is that DHX operates on a global level, and this really gives Family Channel that opportunity to broaden its scope to Canada and beyond, rather than just Canada," said Paul Cormack, VP, marketing, DHX Television. "There's a very clear connection between those two programs… and this allows us to pre-promote Lost & Found to the Next Step audience," he added.
With planning still in initial stages, no decisions have yet been made about what kind of ancillary content from the tour will be produced, Young added. This year, the tour's inaugural run was the subject of an 80-minute documentary entitled The Next Step Live – The Movie.
Cast members Victoria Baldesarra, Trevor Tordjman, Jordan Clark, Taveeta Szymanowicz, Isaac Lupien, Myles Erlick, Briar Nolet and Isaiah Peck will feature in the tour.
The Next Step is produced by Temple Street and executive produced by Frank van Keeken, Ivan Schneeberg, David Fortier and Laura Harbin.

Apple iPhone 8 may feature the Wireless Charging Technology
Karthik Iyer
Apple is yet to launch the new iPhone variant for the year 2016, and we already have new rumors pointing towards the next iPhone 8. According to the sources, the new iPhone that is to be launched this year sometime in September, will not be significantly different from the existing version. It is expected to sport only minor changes in terms of specifications, but externally the phone will be identical to the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus.
Apple seems to be moving to a three-year redesign cycle. Currently, the company refreshes its flagship's design every two years. Based on this information, we think the company might bring only subtle changes to the new variants launching this year. Also, the company is reportedly working on iPhone 8 already. According to a Chinese analyst Sun Changxu, the upcoming iPhone 8 is going to provide support for a wireless charging feature. This feature was already expected on the upcoming iPhone 7, but it seems we have to wait another year for the same.
It is reported that Apple must have caught LG Innotek's attention which is a subsidiary of LG. The company is making good progress with wireless charging. It is said that Apple would partner with LG to produce a wireless charging circuit, which could help to charge the phone quickly from zero to a full charge without any wires. Other rumors point that the Home Button, which is found on all the iPhone previously, might be removed.
Also, other stories points that the iPhone 8 will feature a massive 5.8-inch display and the company will incorporate OLED panels, replacing the LCD ones. This means the future iPhones might have a better battery backup as well. It will also feature an A11 SoC, which is rumored to be manufactured on the 7nm process. The phone might see a bump in RAM as well, but we have no rumors to give an exact figure.
However all these are just rumors, and we think it's too early to discuss iPhone 8 as the upcoming iPhone 7 hasn't even been launched yet. As mentioned earlier, the new iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus is expected to be announced by the company officially by September this year. Stay tuned for more information on this.

In order to show the world that counterfeit drugs were not emanating from India, the directorate general of foreign trade issued guidelines including mandatory barcoding of drugs and medicines, in January and June 2011.
KOCHI: Under the Centre's ambitious scheme to provide affordable and quality generic medicines to all, especially the poor, at least 3,000 Jan Aushadhi stores will be opened in two years across the country, a top official said today.
CEO of the Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI) M D Sreekumar said that within two month, at least 425 generic medicines will be made available through around 184 Jan Aushadhi Stores which are in operation in various states and Union Territories.
"We will achieve the target of 3,000 Jan Aushadhi outlets across the country by 2016-17. At least 300 stores will be there in the country before March 31, 2016," Sreekumar said.
He was talking to reporters after inking an MoU with CISSIL, a retail chain that will open 100 stores across Kerala by November this year.
As per the MoU, CISSIL will sell the generic medicines through the Jan Aushadhi Stores to be opened in their super markets.
Sreekumar blamed many state governments including Kerala for their lack of interest in taking initiative to effectively utilise the Centre's people-friendly programme and make it more successful.
He said under the Jan Aushadhi Scheme, state governments are required to provide space in government hospital premises or any other suitable locations for the running of the Jan Aushadhi Stores.
"Unfortunately, there is no encouraging response from some states like Kerala," he said.
Sreekumar said Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India would provide one-time assistance of Rs 2.50 lakhs as furnishing and establishment costs, start up cost for setting up a Jan Aushadhi Outlet.
Any NGO/Charitable Society/Institution/Self Help Group with experience of minimum three years of successful operation in welfare activities, can also open the Jan Aushadhi store outside the hospital premises.
Over dependence on support from state government, poor supply chain management, non-prescription of generic medicines by doctors, state governments launching free supply of drugs and lack of awareness among the public were some of the reasons why there is a delay in picking up the Jan Aushadhi Scheme, he said.

Sydney cyclists hold commemorative bike ride for Martin Place siege victims
Posted Sat 20 Dec 2014 at 8:37pm Saturday 20 Dec 2014 at 8:37pm Sat 20 Dec 2014 at 8:37pm , updated Sat 20 Dec 2014 at 10:40pm Saturday 20 Dec 2014 at 10:40pm Sat 20 Dec 2014 at 10:40pm
About 50 cyclists took part in the ride. (ABC News)
abc.net.au/news/sydney-cyclist-commemorative-bike-ride-for-martin-place-siege/5981576
A group of Sydney cyclists has taken part in a commemorative bike ride to pay tribute to the victims of the Martin Place siege as well as those who survived the ordeal.
Many of the riders, who are members of the Muslim community, gathered at Lakemba mosque in the city's south-west early this morning for the journey to the CBD.
The group of about 50 cyclists left flowers at the memorial to pay their respects to Katrina Dawson and Tori Johnson, who died in the siege at the Lindt cafe.
They also observed a minute's silence and held signs displaying the words 'I'll ride with you' - a reference to a Twitter hashtag widely used to support the Islamic community after the siege.
Sophie Bartho from Bicycle New South Wales said the tribute was simple but compassionate.
"It's a delightful way to show the unity that's in the community and that we all support each other regardless of our backgrounds and our beliefs," she said.
The riders left flowers and observed a minute's silence. (ABC News)
"We have enormous diversity ... and it's interesting because they say the bicycle is a symbol of freedom, so I think there's another interesting perspective or reflection in that in itself."
Last night thousands of people also paid tribute to the siege victims at Sydney's annual Carols in the Domain Christmas concert.
The executive producer of Carols in the Domain, Michael Mackay, said the event - attended by NSW Premier Mike Baird and Lindt cafe staff members - acknowledged the siege in an effort to help unify the city.
"We see this as our most important Carols in the Domain ever," he said.
"We understand what it means to people of Sydney in particular and we understand that people want to come to this event and they do see this event as perhaps part of that healing process."
Security has been beefed up across Sydney and at Martin Place following the siege, with the increased police presence to continue into the new year.

We're proud to be a trusted partner of Wells Fargo, coming together for more than 20 projects over 10 years.
Wells Fargo's Mortgage and Home Equity website is one of the largest mortgage traffic centers in the world. Multiple business units, many decision makers, and 1000s of documents came together to create this fully integrated, comprehensive digital experience. Our needs-based, user-focused information architecture now serves as the model for the entire Wells Fargo site.
Awasu Design's confidence, intelligence, tenacity, focus, diplomacy, and mastery of their craft are evident on every call.
Home lending content at wellsfargo.com is a model of user-centered design. Paths through the site are clear, motivational statements invite shoppers to come through the process and users can determine easily, based on their intention, how to take the next step—get a preapproval, set up a conversation, etc.
Wells Fargo's Wealth Management Group knew they needed to equip their Wealth Managers and clients with a modern, compelling mobile experience.
First they needed a strategy and a plan. We studied how wealth advisors engage their clients, model their process, and identify key opportunities. We concepted new iPad applications, creating a suite of recommendations that included short-term wins as well as future-state advancements. To plan for success, we created a 15-month product roadmap that shows how to bring each idea to life.
The Wealth, Brokerage, and Retirement Group at Wells Fargo serves 1,000,000 high-net-worth clients. To provide excellent service, Wells Fargo team members need a rich, 360-degree view of the customer that brings in general account information, credit, trading, retirements, trust, and family network details. In essence, they need an exhaustive CRM that's easy to use.
We interviewed wealth managers, assistants, clients, and subject-matter experts. We then created and iterated a comprehensive experience, conducting regular usability tests along the way. The designs were a notable success, resulting in dramatic productivity improvements during user testing. The final design framework provided a product vision to enable thousands of team members to be more effective, efficient, and profitable.
Typically, a WF banker would need access to these different departments through difference access points. Awasu created a UX framework that would allow all this information to be accessed through one portal.
Everyone needs information to do their jobs well (typically found in the form of weekly updates, news, announcements, etc.). However, one group within Wells Fargo had so much information dissemination that it was drowning in detail, making it hard for the group to do what it does best: serve customers and generate revenue. The team needed a smarter system.
We started with a quick ROI analysis, showing how much of an opportunity was lost to impaired productivity. We then interviewed team members and content creators, mapped information flows, and inventoried content types. We identified new approaches, created a pilot group of advocates and ambassadors, and guided a phased roadmap to support a cultural change. We designed a new, internal, magazine-style portal for all communications to reside, including social features, the ability to rate and save content, and customization for information streams. Now team members have the right information at the right time and can provide better service to their clients.
The Wells Fargo Wholesale Securities Research group produces an impressive number of reports: roughly 70 per day. Consumers of these reports—fund managers, institutional investors, etc.—need to follow only the analysts, companies, topics, and trends they care about. We created the group's first iPad experience, setting a standard for the internal team to develop additional tablet products. We brought new social and personalization features to the experience, including the ability to follow, rate, share, save, and comment on the content.
Wells Fargo's digital design team had grown to an impressive matrixed group of over 100 designers, researchers, producers, prototypers, and others. At this size, the team had several challenges.
We partnered with Wells Fargo to restructure siloed teams, optimize for ownership and specialization, and build a design community with central leadership.
We helped them reorganize to multiple, semi-autonomous studios. We created roll-out materials, conducted transition workshops, and facilitated co-creation of the new Studio Lead role. As a result, the team experienced stronger leadership, more effective project execution, and increased team morale.
We've been teaming up with Wells Fargo's innovation group on a variety of projects. From HoloLens and Virtual Reality experiences to identity design and environmental design, we've covered a lot of ground.


The number of cyber-attacks on organisations has soared in recent years, causing chaos for hospitals and healthcare organisations.
Last year, the now infamous WannaCry ransomware attack crippled NHS England for 48 hours and nearly 10,000 documents were stolen from 68 hospitals in a separate attack.
Healthcare breaches cost a healthcare organisation on average $408 per every medical record compromised, according to a report by IBM. While new regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have come in to play to protect sensitive consumer data, more needs to be done by IT professionals to protect critical social infrastructure from malicious cyber-attacks.
Taking the global healthcare industry as our main use case, patients' medical records are often shared with third parties in order to support life-saving treatments and care. Yet the transfer of this critically sensitive data is still done via old, outdated legacy IT systems, and even by paper in some cases.
The reality however is that cyber-attacks have become significantly more sophisticated. Those who manage healthcare IT systems must start to seriously look at improving technologies used to protect the security of sensitive medical data and safeguard ongoing patient care.
One of the biggest barriers to updating unfit-for-purpose IT systems in healthcare is that, like industrial control systems, healthcare IT infrastructure cannot be shut off at any point. It must be running online every single day of the year to support vital life-saving machines, systems and treatments. However, this creates a perfect target for cyber-criminals launching malicious attacks.
Attempting to deflect zero-day attacks is an impossible task for even the most sophisticated software for endpoint prevention. The next generation of cybersecurity measures should involve 24/7 monitoring of networks every single day to detect, respond to and contain cyber-attacks as and when they happen.
This constant, proactive vigilance combined with reactive measures to combat attacks would limit damage to hospitals and healthcare organisations resulting from an attack. Healthcare IT managers should look at implementing holistic cybersecurity measures that cover all disparate systems to protect patient data from cyber-threats.
According to a report by Accenture on the future of digital health tech, 92% of health executives believe that protecting consumer data is very important for gaining patients' trust in the medical profession. One of the latest emerging technologies, blockchain, is slated to increase trust in the industry.
A blockchain is a distributed ledger that runs on multiple devices and can record anything of value using cryptography. Data stored in a blockchain is highly resistant to modification.
By using blockchain as a service for medical records, healthcare organisations could empower consumers to take control of their own health data while solving problems surrounding sharing sensitive medical data in a secure way with doctors and third parties.
Securing patient data with a blockchain would put many hackers off launching cyber-attacks as it's very difficult to hack a blockchain to steal usable amounts of information. Whereas hacking a regular database can give you access to large quantities of data at once, were one to breach a blockchain you would only gain access to siloed data from one or two blocks on the chain without any of its related, contextual data.
Further, to change data on one block would require you to alter the hash on every single previous block on the chain. Today, it would take a quantum computer to do so without the whole network knowing.
Using blockchain as a service in healthcare would also give control over personal data back to patients, ultimately creating a consumer-focused healthcare system. It would be in the hands of patients to decide who can access their medical records, ensuring only those who need to access it can. With a holistic view of a patients' medical data in one place, medical professionals will also be able to diagnose and prevent diseases much more quickly than before.
As the global population becomes older and healthcare treatment costs rise, increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks are a grave threat. We must safeguard our global healthcare systems before it's too late.
From harnessing blockchain as a service to implementing 24/7 monitoring for cyber-attacks, critical healthcare IT infrastructures can and must be protected more effectively.
Why critical healthcare infrastructure needs Blockchain as a service and 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring Healthcare IT systems operate round the clock so they need 24-7 monitoring, while blockchains will limit the chance, scope and impact of data breaches, writes Chrissa McFarlane, CEO and founder of Patientory Inc.


Na$im Williams and Doc Da Mindbenda linked up to craft a beat so grimy, you can still smell the blood on the butcher's apron. Chandler London pairs with Cocky on the lyrical front, making for an interesting contrast- Chandler paints murals with his vivid, spacey flow; while Cocky takes a more visceral approach and goes right for the kill.
"2 Different Sides" is like a three-minute grind house flick, definitely not for the faint of heart. Besides capturing varying perspectives on aspects of life- good and bad, the track also illustrates the diversity of Chicago talent.


In addition, Taming of the Shrew has also been nominated for the Innovation Award and Shinfield Players Scenic Award. You can see that our gender-swapping Shakespeare certainly gave the judges something to think about.
District winners are automatically nominated for the regional awards, which will be announced at the NODA London AGM on 23rd–24th June. Fingers crossed!

Co-Founder of #BlackLivesMatter Toronto Speaks at Fordham
ANDREW BEECHER/THE OBSERVER
For Khan, the bottom line is this: "We need to come out of our fear and into our power. Every person can grow into their fears, their passions and their freedom."
By MICHELLE AGARON, Staff Writer
On the evening of Feb. 23, Room 7-119 in Fordham Law School was teeming with an unusually large number of Fordham students, staff and administration who had gathered to honor Radical King Week at Fordham. Members of the Fordham community had gathered to listen to Janaya Khan, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement in Toronto. At 6:30 p.m., the speaker rose and a silence fell upon the crowd.
Khan, who uses they/them/theirs pronouns, began by stating that they were black, queer and gender-nonconforming. Over the next hour, they discussed the persistent exclusion of people of color and the increased division in the United States. They also talked about the perpetuation of rape culture, personal anecdotes from when they experienced racial discrimination.
Khan also talked about public figures and subjects such as Nathan Phillips and Nick Sandmann, and drew comparisons between the Parkland shooting activists, whose praise was well-deserved and necessary, and young, black activists who rose up for the Black Lives Matter movement but were not embraced in the same way.
"They were not celebrated. They were maligned. They were rebuked. I want to ask you: What does it do to us, as a society, when we decide some children are worth more than others? On some level, we believe that black people deserve what happens to them."
Halfway through the speech, Khan arrived at the root of the problem: "The political left is so very good at coming together against a thing, at deconstructing. But we struggle when it comes to having clarity and agreement on what it is that we're building. At this point, we don't have a bottom line."
As the talk reached its end, Khan answered the discussion's overarching question: How do activists win? They implored members of the audience to band together, "come out" and show up for the most vulnerable members of society, to be the people they've always wanted to be, to imagine differently.
Sydney Boyer, a student at the Fordham Graduate School of Social Service, was struck by Khan's reaffirming words.
"As a second year graduate student, I really resonated with the part when they said that no one starts out remarkable –– you become remarkable," she said."I come from a small town in Ohio, which is predominantly white and middle income. When they were talking about people who would vote a certain way, I was like, 'How could I better take the tools I'm learning from this and put it back into my community?' Because those people might listen to me!"
Lu Aubin, Fordham College at Lincoln Center '23, found Khan's vast command over their words and dynamism inspiring, particularly their confident embodiment of gender-nonconformism and the kind of future that entails.
"Janaya Khan's outlook on these ideals as suffocating for a fellow trans/gender-nonconforming human was incredibly powerful and affirming, and I hope that in partnership with the topics they presented throughout the night, that we will march closer to a society which is less dangerous and increasingly comforting for all people: oppressed and oppressors," Aubin said.
When asked whether Fordham is doing enough to include race in conversations and formal discussions, Aubin and Boyer differed in their responses. Aubin was uncertain, but she believed that Fordham is only as progressive as the state of New York and it "must always take steps to realize its own shortcomings."
Boyer focused more on her experience at the graduate school, where she noticed that professors weren't always ready or didn't have the tools for conversations about race. To combat this, she advises the university to provide those tools before asking professors to teach courses in a field that is so entrenched in topics of social justice.

Welcome to Texas on the Potomac's "The Week Ahead," a preview of events to come on Capitol Hill and at the White House this week.
This week's report was written by William K. Moore of ViaNovo.
The Senate signaled the beginning of recess Thursday by passing a long list of non-controversial bills and confirming dozens of executive and military nominees. The House left town Friday. Neither chamber will be back until Monday, May 7.
Before departing, the House and Senate breathed what may be their last gasps of 2012 bipartisanship, advancing a highway bill to conference and possible summer enactment. In nearly the same breath, the House and Senate stuck partisan sticks in one another's eye, passing proposals intended to politically embarrass the opposition — and frustrate the passage of needed reforms.
Last week, Senators approved postal reform and renewal of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The House passed four cyber-security proposals and a student loan reform proposal. The Senate's proposals
are both intentionally written to be unacceptable to House Republicans, and the House measures are meant to be unacceptable to Senate Democrats.
(Facebook photo)
For example, the Senate VAWA proposal expands protections to include gays, lesbians and undocumented aliens — groups deserving protection but unlikely to win approval from the House. The most likely outcome is no bill this year. The House student loan proposal depends on spending reductions from women's health programs, an initiative that has no prospect in the Senate. The final outcome could be the doubling of interest rates on student loans. As the nation's politics settle into a fierce campaign for the White House, Republicans and Democrats in Congress are likely to increase their partisan assaults until Election Day.
Data from Real Clear Politics show the average of April polling in the presidential contest gives President Barack Obama a three-point leader over Mitt Romney, 48-45 percent. The leader in national polls at the end of April in the past two elections has gone on to win; in years prior, the April leader lost the popular vote more often than not.

Owners of the MacBook and MacBook Pro may find their keyboard repairs are quicker to complete than usual, with Apple Stores instructed to perform the repair at the in-store Genius Bar, rather than dispatching the notebooks out to an off-site repair shop.
This week on the AppleInsider Podcast, William and Victor are back, talking about William's favorite keyboard, the rumored 17-inch MacBook Pro and whether or not it might get a new keyboard when the screen gets larger, Wi-Fi security risks, and the risk of speaking around an Amazon Echo device.
It's innovative, its test users are all vocal fans, and the TextBlade portable keyboard has officially been on sale since 2015 -- yet you still can't order it today, and get it quickly. AppleInsider visited the company to see what's happened, and whether it's worth waiting for.
Logitech on Tuesday announced preorders for the Slim Folio Pro, a still-rare example of a keyboard case for Apple's latest iPad Pros.
Issues with Apple's butterfly keyboard mechanism are again popping to the forefront, after a high-profile account in the Wall Street Journal about a failure in a 2018 model, and it is past time that Apple be more forceful about the issue.
Apple is continuing to work on ways to improve the experience of typing on a keyboard, including data overlays either on the key, or by harnessing augmented reality and virtual reality to overlay symbols on a physical keyboard, and a system that could allow users to adjust the resistance when pressing a key to their personal preference.
Future Apple keyboards in MacBooks may not be affected by dust or other foreign elements that could affect its switch mechanism, with the possibility of being replaced by a glass panel with raised "key" sections that acts as a rigid keyboard.
Every venue in the history of publication has pieces that they like a lot -- but never got as much traction as they thought it would. To celebrate the end of the year, AppleInsider staff got together to discuss not what you guys clicked on the most, but the editorial and feature pieces that we liked best in 2018.
Apple has always expected you to bring your own keyboard, monitor and mouse to the Mac mini. Yet, today there are issues to consider before you even start narrowing down your choice from the many, many dozens of possibilities. And, given as much as we type daily, we have opinions on the matter.
Those gorgeous big screens mean you're going to be using your phone more -- and it could even become your primary computing device. You need, and your iPhone deserves, a physical keyboard for when you've got serious work to do. AppleInsider surveys the scene.
Accessory maker Satechi on Thursday released a pair of new keyboards for the iMac and other desktop Mac systems.


Newfane is the shire town. This county is bounded north by Windsor County, east by Connecticut River, south by the State of Massachusetts, and west by the County of Bennington. For some years it bore the name of Cumberland.
The surface of the county is much broken by hills and valleys; the western part is very elevated, and contains a part of the Green Mountain range. The geological character of the county is primitive. Immense quantities of granite is found in all parts of the county, both in quarries and boulders, most of which is of fine grain and very handsome. It also contains gneiss, hornblonde, serpentine, primitive limestone, and mica, talcose, chlorite, and argellite slates.
The soil of the county is various; from the rich and alluvial meadows on the Connecticut, to the cold and rugged lands on the sides of the mountains. The general character of the soil may be considered as tolerable for grain, and excellent for grazing.
Windham County is finely watered by Williams', Saxton's, and West Rivers, with their branches, and by numerous other streams. These waters give the county a great hydraulic power, which is rapidly coming into use for manufacturing purposes.

3 more held over schoolboy Adnan killing
Thursday, 09 March 2017 , 12:57 pm
Dhaka : Three more people were held over the killing of Adnan Kabir, a ninth grader of Uttara Trust School and College in Dhaka.
Three young men were held in capital's Uttara and Gazipur's Tongi area on Wednesday night, said the Uttara west police operation officer Shah Alam.
The arrestees were Rajin Mohammad Hridoy, Shakil Sarker, and Fakhrul Islam Sraban, all of them are in their early twenties.
A total of 19 people were held for their alleged involvement in the murder. Eight among them gave their confessional statement before the court.
Earlier, on 6 January, Adnan Kabir, aged around 15, was beaten to death allegedly by some local boys in Uttara.
Kabir Hossain, father of Adnan, filed a case with the Uttara (West) police.
