Meet Rekha Mishra, The RPF Personnel Who Saved 434 Run Away Children From Falling Into Wrong Hands
7 July 2017 10:03 AM GMT
Rekha Mishra, a sub-inspector from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus has been in the news for the past couple of weeks. She has achieved an astounding feat of rescuing 434 children in one year. Out of the 1150 children that Railway Protection Force has rescued, she single-handedly has the credit of saving 434 children to her name.
Rekha Mishra had joined the Force in 2014 and had an excellent track record of going out of her way to help women and children in need. When The Logical Indian spoke to her, she said, "Children, women and elderly always had a special place in my heart. Born in an army family, I had been brought up to help them always, even if it demands me to go out of my way." Rekha hails from Allahabad and maintains a very humble outlook. What makes her achievement even more remarkable is the fact that she joined the forces just two years ago. Rekha recalled a case where three girls from Chennai were kidnapped, and they managed to escape their captors only to board a long-distance train. They had boarded off at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. They were rescued and handed over to their parents after contacting the local police station. Though the railway board has a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for such cases, it is her personal touch which makes this achievement even more recognisable.
"Most of the children run away on being beaten by parents or to meet their Facebook friends or even to meet their favourite film stars or even attracted by the glamour of Mumbai," says Rekha. "I also make sure they don't fall into wrong hands unless they are returned to their parents," Rekha said. When asked how does she figure out which kids need to be rescued she said that most children who run away from their homes, end up at the last station of the trains they board. Rekha also added that children, young men and women who look vulnerable are often in need of help. She also gives them the needed protection so that they feel safe. Mishra often works for twelve-hour shifts a day, and her seniors also impressed with her dedication. Apart from rescuing, she also effectively follows up on the case.
Rekha says, "Most of the children whom we rescue are from UP or Bihar. They are mostly among the age group of thirteen to sixteen." She keeps an eye on people who are lost, scared and can't make their way out amidst a crowd. Ms Singh works with ASI Shivram Singh, and they are trained specially to follow a lengthy procedure for the best of the children. After spotting a child, she embarks on a detailed enquiry about the child. She questions her/him thoroughly to find out where the child belongs from and other information. Later the local police station and co-ordinates to inform the parents of the kid. They are sent to Children Welfare Committee where the children, as well as their parents, are counselled. "It's an honour to don the uniform. The look of relief in the eyes of the parents and the thankful tone of their voice is what keeps me going," Rekha said, on asking what keeps her motivated.
The Logical Indian requests all the readers to keep an eye for lost or scared vulnerable children looking for help at the railway stations. The readers are requested to call the child-helpline number 1098 or to hand them over the Railway Protection Officials at the station. Handing over to the RPF shall certainly help the kid from falling into wrong hands.

I love beer... Or do I just love alcohol?
When you work for an alcohol charity, lots of people assume that you don't drink. But I do. Why? Well, the thing is, I love beer.
I go on about beer like some people go on about wine, or fine food, or fast cars. I love the way it looks, the way it smells, the way it tastes. I love it in all its varieties – from hoppy IPAs, through amber winter warmers, to deep-roasted stouts.
Now, I've thought a lot about this – about whether I'm just fooling myself, whether I don't really like beer half so much as I like alcohol. Do I really love hops and malts and yeasts, or do I just enjoy that warm, foggy feeling that happens when C2H6O hits the human brain? It's a difficult question because that warm, foggy feeling is so normal for so many of us, we barely notice it.
So, in the spirit of scientific enquiry, I decided to investigate just why I love beer. Is it really all those marvellous colours, aromas and flavours, or is it the alcohol? I decided that the best was to find out was to see what beer is like without its intoxicating side-effects. Could I enjoy a beer with no alcohol in it? Such beers do exist, and have done since the 1970s. But they've had a bad reputation, and it's a reputation that many of them fully deserved.
Part of the problem was that many early alcohol-free beers were brewed to a normal alcoholic strength, and then went through something called 'reverse osmosis' to get rid of the alcohol. If that doesn't sound like a traditional brewing technique, that's because it isn't. It's basically boiling, and 'boiled beer' sounds about as appetising as, say, boiled cabbage.
Maisel's Weisse Alkoholfrei, one of the best German weißbiere you'll ever drink, available online through Dry Drinker, the Alcohol Free Shop, and Wise Bartender.
Big Drop Chocolate Milk Stout, a top-class stout with real body and complex flavours, available online through Dry Drinker and Wise Bartender. Beer blogger Pete Brown called this drink "a whole new sphere of flavours". He's not wrong.
Leeds Brewery OPA, a delicious pale ale with a lovely caramel colour, available in the brewery's pubs, and lots of other places very soon, I hope.
To return to my original question – do I love beer or just love alcohol? Like most questions about alcohol, it's hard to answer without any ambivalence or ambiguity. Like most people, I'm used to alcohol in my life, in a way that's hard to imagine for most other psychoactive substances. What the drinks on the list above (and a few others) have given me is a chance to explore the other elements of beer – the bits without which beer is just C2H6O.
After about a year of regularly drinking beers at 0% or 0.5% ABV, I think that I can say with some confidence that it really is all about the beer. It is all about the hops and the malts and yeasts, more than it's about the alcohol. I do still revisit some of my old 4% and 5% ABV favourites. They're all good. But often, that warm, foggy feeling is just not what I'm looking for. So I'm glad to have a few alternatives on hand that give me the beer experience and leave me with a clear head.

Taming debauchery : church discipline in the Presbytery of St Andrews and the American colonies of New Jersey and New York, 1750-1800
HeatherMHuntleyPhDThesis.pdf (72.68Mb)
Huntley, Heather Maurine
Houston, R. A. (Robert Allan)
Creating moralistic societies was a concern of the churches and the governments of Scotland and the American colonies of New York and New Jersey in the eighteenth century. However, church and state relations in Scotland and the American colonies were dissimilar and the differences manifested themselves in the various approaches taken by each body to suppress the immoral behaviour that existed in both countries. By examining the disciplinary procedures and cases in the parishes of the Presbytery of St Andrews and the Presbyterian churches in the colonies of New York and New Jersey, these divergences emerge and illuminate the relationship between church and state. The Church of Scotland was recognized as the established church by the state and was allowed to implement its own Presbyterian system of government and discipline according to its ecclesiastical doctrines and theological beliefs. The state utilized its legal systems to punish and correct immoral behaviour. In Scotland, the two systems had defined boundaries and complemented one another in their efforts to suppress immorality. However, not only did the American colonies lack a centralized state until 1776, but the colonies also lacked an established church. Alternatively, each colony had its own governing bodies, judicial systems, and a variety of church denominations. The Presbyterian Church, one of the many churches in the colonies of New York and New Jersey, utilised a Presbyterian system of ecclesiastical discipline in order to supplement the judicial systems' attempts to suppress immorality within the colonies.

New York City has many tourist attractions, but many holiday-makers also swap the city for nearby destinations. (Photo: Thomas Northcut/Photodisc/Getty Images )
Day Getaways From New York City by Train or Bus
Places to Visit for a 2-Day Weekend Near New York
New York City has everything from parks to parrot cemeteries to attract visitors, but many popular tourist destinations also lie just a day-trip away from the city. Countryside landscapes and sandy beaches offer getaways for both tourists and locals that want respite from the city, and neighboring places also provide a change of cultural scenery.
Approximately 105 miles from Manhattan, along Sunrise Highway (or Route 27), is the Long Island village of East Hampton, a popular seaside getaway for both New Yorkers and visitors to the state. Driving in regular traffic takes around two hours from Manhattan, but the most popular way to travel is by bus, on the Hamptons Jitney (hamptonjitney.com) or Hampton Luxury Liner (hamptonluxuryliner.com). Buses call at various stops around New York City and make more than 20 daily trips to nearby Montauk. The Long Island Railroad from Penn Station to Montauk is another option, with a journey time of three hours. Once there, visitors visit beaches like Coopers Beach and Main Beach, explore the local art scene at Guild Hall (guildhall.org) or just wander through the village admiring the houses of celebrities like Martha Stewart and Steven Spielberg.
Around 120 miles (and a 2 1/2-hour drive) north of New York City is the Hudson Valley. The Valley is on the banks of the River Hudson and incorporates the towns from Yonkers to Albany. The Valley's history is reflected in many of its tourist attractions, from the 19th century Beaux Arts style mansions in Millionaires' Row in the middle Hudson to the Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands in Newburgh (newburghhistoricalsociety.com), exhibiting works of the Hudson River school of painting. Nature-lovers can walk part of the 2,167-mile Appalachian National Scenic Trail and wine enthusiasts can explore the vineyards of the Hudson Valley -- America's oldest winemaking region.
The city of Philadelphia is less than 100 miles southwest of Manhattan and is considered the birthplace of the U.S. Tourists flock to iconic monuments like the Liberty Bell, which marked the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, and Independence Hall, where the Declaration was signed. However, modern Philadelphia also draws visitors: the city's theater scene, live music venues, bars and clubs are all popular tourist attractions.
The New England peninsula of Cape Cod, with its 400 miles of shoreline, is 261 miles away from Manhattan, making it a popular beach destination for New Yorkers. The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact when they arrived at Provincetown Harbor in Cape Cod and the region was among the first English settlements. Visitors can explore this history at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum (pilgrim-monument.org) and First Encounter Beach, where the Pilgrims first encountered Native Americans. Provincetown's Art House (ptownarthouse.com), opened in 2006, is a live performance venue showcasing entertainers from around the world. Provincetown is also known as a gay village and is home to The Atlantic House (ahouse.com), allegedly the oldest gay bar in the U.S.

A: Your synchronization seems improper for the jorb. They discard your preinitialized Image and do no synchronization (due to the dst=BOTTOM).
Let me put together something that should work just fine with your computationaly demanding 4x4 Image processing:
image_barrier( VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT, cmd_buf,
               VK_ACCESS_HOST_WRITE_BIT, VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_READ_BIT,
               VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED, VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_SRC_OPTIMAL,
               VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_HOST_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TRANSFER_BIT,
               src_image);

image_barrier( VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_COLOR_BIT, cmd_buf,
               info.dst_img_access, VK_ACCESS_TRANSFER_WRITE_BIT,
               info.dst_img_layout, VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_DST_OPTIMAL,
               VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_ALL_COMMANDS_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_STAGE_TRANSFER_BIT,
               info.dst_image);

BTW:

*

*the amount should be VkDeviceSize not size_t in createMemory()

*vkBindImageMemory(), vkBeginCommandBuffer() and vkEndCommandBuffer() return and should perhaps be in your VKR

*If you rewrite whole aspect of the image, you can use src=LAYOUT_UNDEFINED to discard the old data (more efficient!)

Chapter 168 - Beauty is fragile
Nie Li nodded his head. That is the hundred million level demon beast horde that they're talking about; therefore, they have to start making preparations.
Yang Xin's face turned stern and said, "Understood, I'll make arrangement to this matter."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Nie Li said, after thinking awhile, it's enough now that Yang Xin understood.
"Little brother Nie Li, you're leaving so soon? Do you still have some urgent matters?" Yang Xin said, smiling charmingly while looking at Nie Li.
"I don't have any urgent matters, at the moment." said Nie Li, shaking his head.
"Then, why don't you stay and accompany sister to have a drink?" Yang Xin pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing Nie Li's hesitant look, "Could it be that little brother Nie Li is worried that sister will eat you up?"
Coming from Ye Ziyun's place, Nie Li's mood hasn't been that good the whole trip here. He wasn't worried that Yang Xin would eat him up at all. Although Yang Xin has showed such an appearance, but within her heart, she just wanted to tease Nie Li. The reason why Yang Xin was able to sit at the position of the Alchemist Association's Director position wasn't because of her looks, but because of her methods of handling stuff. She's able to manage the entire Alchemist Association so well. In the future, there will be many things that he will need help from Yang Xin with.
"Okay then, I'll accompany big sister Yang to have a drink." Nie Li replied, after pondering awhile.
The sky darkened, Nie Li and Yang Xin were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard.
"What kind of world is beyond Glory City? Ever since birth, I, Yang Xin, have grown up within Glory City. The furthest I've gone, is to some ruins tens of miles away. Like a caged bird, this life is so boring!" Yang Xin lamented, slightly drunk.
Taking a look at Yang Xin, Nie Li's gaze shifted to the distant sky and said, "Outside Glory City, there's the St. Ancestral Mountains. The St. Ancestral Mountains stretches for thousands of miles, with two tribes still luckily surviving. Further out of the St. Ancestral Mountains, to the east, would be the Endless Desert, in the west there are barren lands, plains, Toxic Forest and a lot other places. All of those places still have people surviving. There are demon beasts everywhere in the Divine Continent. There are even dozens of continents beyond the Divine Continent. These continents are the main worlds, within the main world, there are many other subsidiary realms. Outside these worlds, there's another domain……"
Hearing the latter part, Yang Xin couldn't understand anything that Nie Li is talking about. What Main World? What subsidiary realm? What other domain? She can only guess that the world that Nie Li spoke of should be extremely huge, to the extent that she'll never be able to gaze her eyes upon in her entire life.
Yang Xin sighed at the insignificance of humans. In this vast world, they're trapped in this small Glory City and are struggling to survive.
"To the vast world, cheers……" Yang Xin rose her head and gulped the entire cup in one go. "I, Yang Xin, am an orphan. I suffered all kinds of ridicule when I was a child and slowly climbed my way up to my current position. What did I rely on? Appearance? Wrong, I relied on strength! Until now, those men who competed with me, which one of them are not convinced?"
Yang Xin is drunk. When Nie Li thought about Ye Ziyun, he couldn't help feeling dejected and then gulped the wine in his hand as well.
"For big sister Yang's strength, cheers!"
"This Director of the Alchemist Association position that I have sat on, there have been many people eyeing it, but I still sat on it firmly. But so what? I have acquaintances all over the world, but no one understands my heart!" Yang Xin bitterly smiled and drank another cup, "I have fought for my entire life, but found out that everything is so meaningless."
"Big sister Yang Xin, don't you still have me?" Nie Li laughed. He suddenly understood the loneliness of Yang Xin, in his previous life, had he not felt the same? Although he has roamed the world, the amount of people he acquainted with was simply countless; however, the closest to him, his friends, his love ones, all died.
"Haha, little brother Nie Li, having those words of yours, big sister Yang is satisfied……" Yang Xin charmingly smiled, "Big sister Yang only has one request. If the Snow Wind demon beasts do penetrate into Glory City, I want little brother Nie Li to make big sister Yang a happy and then burn my corpse. Don't let those demon beast feast on it."
"No, as long as I'm here, I won't let Glory City be destroyed by the demon beast horde!" Nie Li said, his expression turned solemn.
"Okay, sister believes in you!" Yang Xin said, nodding her head.
The two of them drank till late into the night. Nie Li told her all of his goals. He wants to become an extreme expert among the endless domains, having no one to threaten his family, friends and love ones.
In Yang Xin's room, Yang Xin placed the slightly drunk Nie Li on the bed. Watching Nie Li's sweet sleeping smile, she was lost in a daze for some time. She had indeed drank a lot, but she noticed that Nie Li had drank even more than her. She had a gifted physique and very quickly sobered up. Within the darkness, her eyes were so clear.
Yang Xin moved her body down a close distance against Nie Li's face. The ravine in her collar could be vaguely seen, extremely tempting.
While staring at Nie Li's face for a long time, Yang Xin's cheeks turned red, she actually has feelings for a teenager. She let out a sigh.
"When I was born, my king wasn't born, by the time my king was born, I was old. If big sister was ten years younger, perhaps I would be like Xiao Ning'er, chasing after you without any regards. Little brother Nie Li treats others with sincerity, you're definitely a good man. Pity that we're never meant to be together. Little brother Nie Li is destined to be the dragon that roams the nine heavens, and sister is fated to stay here till I'm old, with my appearance fading. However, to be able to get to know little brother Nie Li, I already have no regrets." Yang Xin looked at Nie Li's face, slowly leaned over and kissed his forehead. She bitterly smiled, slowly stood up and walked out.
Even if she's a strong woman, so what? She still doesn't have any man to rely on, who can understand this kind of loneliness?
Under the moonlight, her graceful posture was like a snow lotus, pure and moving.
Although Yang Xin left, the room still lingers with her fragrance.
Although Nie Li did drink a lot, he was still able to barely maintain his consciousness. Otherwise, if Yang Xin were to do anything, then it'd be too late for him to regret it. If Yang Xin was to do anything, Nie Li would absolutely reject. Seeing Yang Xin leaving, Nie Li let out a breath of relief. Although Yang Xin is charming and tempting and always teases Nie Li, she still knows her limits. Nie Li seemed to be able to understand the sadness within Yang Xin's heart. Yang Xin appears to be a strong woman from the surface, but in fact, she's a pitiful person.
Nie Li sat up, cross-legged, and dissolved the alcohol within his body before he continued to train his soul force.
The night is dark, pitch dark. Only a few places in the City Lord's Mansion was still lit up with light, there's a faint candlelight in Ye Zong's study room.
Ye Zong was reading various papers. Everyday, he has to handle reports coming in from all kinds of sources, including the surrounding demon beast's behaviour and the movements of the Dark Guild.
Feeling slightly tired, Ye Zong stood up. He slightly condensed his soul force and instantly, the physical fatigue in his body became alleviated by a lot. He looked at the direction of Ye Ziyun's courtyard, recalling of the situation where he spanked Nie Li previously at the Tai Yi Killing Array, he couldn't help leaking a smile on his face.
Once upon a time, the moment Ye Zong think about Nie Li, he would clench his teeth in anger. But now, after his impression of Nie Li changed, whenever he thinks of Nie Li, it changed to a different mood.
Just when Ye Zong was preparing to continue reading the reports, a man walked to the door and knocked.
"Come in." Ye Zong took a glance at the door, he could already feel Ye Han's aura.
"Lord Father!" Ye Han walked into the room and cupped his hands towards Ye Zong.
"Han'er, why have you come?" Ye Zong said, smiling.
"I want to have a chat with Lord Father." said Ye Han, after pondering awhile.
"Okay." Ye Zong nodded his head.
"These last few days, I've noticed that there are lots of strangers living at Ye Ziyun's courtyard and felt a little puzzled about it, so I was wondering if I should talk about it," Ye Han lowered his head, his gaze was uncertain and did not face Ye Zong.
"It should be Nie Li and his friends. They are classmates of Ziyun and are just living at Ziyun's yard at the moment." said Ye Zong. How could he not see that Ye Han still has intentions for Ye Ziyun. Except, the two of them have too large of an age gap between them, not to mention their relation is that of brother and sister. They're absolutely not a match for each other.
Observing now, if Ye Han is compared with Nie Li, Ye Zong would be more willing to marry Yun'er to Nie Li. Because Ye Han's motives are too deep, letting Ye Zong to feel a trace of unease.
"Lord Father, I understand. All along, Lord Father has been nurturing and teaching me, wanting to pass the City Lord's position to me. And I am lacking in talent, unable to meet Lord Father's expectations. In the past, when I was living in the streets, it was Lord Father that brought me to City Lord's Mansion. I only wanted to repay Lord Father's grace, I never had any expectations for the City Lord's position……" Ye Han suddenly knelt down with tears all over his face.
Ye Zong, seeing this situation, immediately said to Ye Han, "Han'er, I understand you. Your talent is extraordinary, you'll definitely surpass me in your lifetime. However, there are many things that won't go as you or me had wished. I only hope that you're able to let it go……"
"I understand. Recently, Ziyun's cultivation has soared leaps and bounds, exhibiting extraordinary talent and has already far surpassed me." Ye Han interrupted, his hoarse voice was trembling, "Having Ziyun in the position of City Lord, it's natural. Except, you have always been telling me to bitterly train to become a good City Lord, and I have always heeded your words and worked hard, not slacking in the slightest. And now, you tell me that everything isn't your decision. Have you considered my feelings? That kind of spirit with all hope lost?"
"Han'er, I'm sorry!" Ye Zong said, apologetically.
"From the moment I saw Ziyun, I told myself that I must marry her as my wife. However, you have never recognized me in your heart, you have been looking down on me in your heart, right? You feel that I'm only a homeless child, I'm not worthy of your Snow Wind Family! I have been looking forward to one day being up in the City Lord's position, able to marry Ziyun. And now, you tell me that I'm not suitable to become the City Lord!"
"It was you who deprived me of my dreams, and now, I have become an empty shell. I have nothing!" Ye Han said in daze.
"Han'er!" Ye Zong felt extremely guilty. Ever since he came in contact with Nie Li, he has understood that the belief that he has was wrong. He should give more concern for Yun'er and Ye Han, and not constantly force them to reach his expectations. He took a step forward and hugged Ye Han, "Han'er, I understand all the grievances in your heart, it's my mistake. I shouldn't have put such a heavy responsibility onto your shoulders, forcing you to meet my expectations. You should have a better life, and not what I've forced upon you."
Just when Ye Zong was holding onto Ye Han, Ye Han's eyes flashed with a ray of chill, his expression suddenly turned ferocious.


Last week, I posted a chart showing the stark decline in Haynesville Shale production versus U.S. gas production. Yesterday, EIA posted the above chart, which tells the same story with a different graphic. While overall natural gas production growth was only up about 1% between 2012 and 2013, Haynesville production fell off 27%, while Marcellus Shale production was up 61% over that same period. The Marcellus benefits from having a wet gas horizon, which encourages drilling even with low natural gas prices. The region has also seen improved gathering infrastructure and vast improvements in production per well, even though the rig count dropped by 21%. Here is a link to the EIA's 2013 lookback on natural gas production (this link is likely to change in a week or two).


Eddie Jones wants his players to use the hatred that South Africa holds for them to their advantage, especially in next month's first Test at Ellis Park, if they are to have any chance of securing the 3-0 series victory the England manager wants.
The embarrassing 63-45 defeat on Sunday by a Barbarians side who had trained just three times together got England's summer off to the worst possible side, but the series against the Springboks will be the true test as they look to snap their four-game losing run.
England have never managed to win a series in South Africa, having struggled in the past to cope with the passion, aggression and desire deployed by the Springboks players. Having worked with the national team back in 2007 under head coach Jake White for the Rugby World Cup-winning campaign, Jones says he "probably understands the South African rugby psyche as well as any", and believes that his side can use this passion to their advantage like past teams have failed to.
"It always comes down to the fact that the first thing you've got to do is beat history," Jones said. "History shows that England have never won a series in South Africa. You guys will be able to tell me why.
"I've got a reasonable understanding, I probably understand the South African rugby psyche as well as any having had experiences there, and I know what they are going to be like when they play England. There are certain cultural issues between the two countries that provide great motivation for the South Africans.
That feeling of opportunity – or fear – already resonates with the players who have previously visited South Africa. England may not have toured there since 2012, but a number of this squad have played in the testing atmosphere in South Africa through age-grade rugby and the dislike they experience is just as fierce, as 19-year-old Tom Curry can testify.
"At every age group South Africans just want to smash the English, it is what it is," said the Sale Sharks flanker who was comfortably England's best player against the Barbarians and could yet prove the most influential player against South Africa this summer. "We're pretty prepared from under 18s, 20s, first team, you know what the South Africans are going to bring.
That responsibility to prepare the players for the experience that they will face – particularly the Johannesburg Test at Ellis Park where more than 62,000 fans at altitude will provide serious ferocity in the face of the English – will fall on Jones alone, and with 15 players arriving from Saracens and Exeter Chiefs this week he must start his work with the squad all over again.
"We have to re-educate the 15 players coming in," he added. "We have made some changes to the way we play. We need to re-educate those players and then at the end of the week we will do a bit of work.
England at least have a fortnight to prepare for the first Test, whereas South Africa are already heading to the United States for their one-off Test against Wales that Pieter-Steph du Toit will skipper, before flanker Siya Kolisi will take over against England to make history as the country's first black captain.

Ethiopian to Celebrate Inaugural Flight to Toronto - 13 July, 2012
Ethiopian Airlines will be hosting a ceremony on Monday July 16, 2012 at the VIP Salon of Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in celebration of its milestone inaugural flight to Toronto scheduled on the same day.
The ceremony celebrating the first direct connection between Toronto and Africa is expected to be attended by many dignitaries, including, H.E Ato Diriba Kuma, Minister of Transport; H.E Mrs. Michèle Lévesque, Canadian Ambassador to Ethiopia; other government dignitaries, members of the diplomatic community; and the media.
Ahead of the ceremony, Ato Tewolde Gebremariam, CEO of Ethiopian, said "We have long envisioned Canada as integral part of our growing network. Canada is home to a thriving business community and a large African diaspora. Our flight to Canada will play an instrumental role in serving both communities and in enhancing trade and economic ties between Africa and Canada."
Toronto will be the 69th international destination for Ethiopian and the 2nd in the Americas. With this new flight, Toronto will be connected, via Ethiopian's hub at Addis Ababa, to the most extensive network in Africa, covering such cities as Johannesburg, Nairobi, Dares Salaam, Kigali, Lusaka, Bujumbura, the Seychelles, Douala, Kinshasa and Harare.
Passengers traveling from cities in North America such as Montréal, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Boston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and San Francisco will also find convenient and direct connections to Africa via Toronto.
Ethiopian will fly on the Toronto route its brand new and ultra-modern B777-200LR aircraft, configured with 34 seats in the luxurious Cloud Nine Business Class and 287 seats in Economy Class.
"Although Ethiopian is scheduled to fly to Toronto just twice weekly, we are ready to immediately add more flights, once the bilateral agreement between the two countries is enhanced" added CEO Tewolde.
Ethiopian, the fastest growing airline in Africa, is continuously striving to enhance its customers' travel experience with a fast expanding network and the introduction of brand new state-of-the-art aircraft.
In the current Ethiopian fiscal year alone, Ethiopian will enter into service 14 additional new aircraft, including 5 ultra-modern B787-800 Dream liners and 3 B737-800s with Sky Interior. Ethiopian is on track to launch service to five new destinations in 2012, including not only Toronto but São Paulo as well.
Ethiopian Airlines, the fastest growing airline in Africa, made its maiden international flight to Cairo in 1946 and now the Airline provides dependable services to 68 international destinations spanning four continents.

Yoga and Pilates are exercise practices that are similar, but some essential differences govern the way they are practiced, their effects on the body and the equipment that is used. Both practices can be done in a class or solo, and practitioners use either a yoga or a Pilates mat suited to their respective practice.
Yoga is a multi-faceted spiritual practice that has its origins in Hinduism. When most people talk about yoga, they are usually referring to Hatha yoga or Bikram yoga, which are collections of physical poses, or asanas, that increase strength and flexibility. When transitioning from one asana to another, it is helpful to be standing on a mat to provide stability, traction and cushion for the feet and hands.
Yoga mats are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. They are made of latex, bamboo or PVC -- also known as vinyl. Standard mats are typically 1/8 inch thick, which is ideal for stability. Thicker varieties can be as much as 1/4-inch thick, which can impair the user, or yogi, from feeling a connection with the floor. They are also a bit more cushy, which can cause wobbling. Travel mats might be as little as 1/16-inch thick, and can be rolled up and transported in a travel bag. Yoga mats traditionally have a slightly sticky texture and resist moisture. Depending on what they are made of, yoga mats can peel or shred over time with repeated use.
Pilates is a collection of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates and brought to the United States in the 1920s. This exercise system emphasizes sustained focus on the core muscles of the body to develop strength and proper bodily alignment. The series of movements is performed slowly and deliberately, and some movements require the practitioner to lie on his back and then roll into a ball with all of the body weight on the spine. Traction is another key reason to use a mat -- to prevent slipping on the floor.
Pilates mats are available in a variety of colors and materials. Many are made of TPE -- thermal plastic elastomer -- which is nontoxic, contains no latex and is completely recyclable. Some mats are made of rubber, an all-natural material that offers a bit more grip. Pilates mats are at least 1/4 inch thick, and professional studio mats can be up to 15mm -- more than 1/2 inch thick. Thin mats can be rolled up for storage, but very thick, high-quality mats are often stacked. Pilates exercises aim to mobilize each joint of the spine, so the mat is essential for comfort and to prevent bruising on the spine.

Surveillance of congenital rubella in British and Irish children up to the age of 16 years in the UK and Ireland began in 1990. Comprehensive national surveillance through the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU) has provided a mechanism for the timely reporting of cases, and a vehicle through which to monitor whether maternal infections were acquired abroad or at home, and to maintain awareness of this condition.
The study aims to monitor the effectiveness of the rubella immunisation programme by determining the incidence of congenital rubella and investigating the circumstances surrounding any new cases.
Fewer than 20 congenital rubella births have been reported altogether since 1997, and only a handful of rubella-associated terminations.
About half of the recently reported infants had mothers who acquired infection abroad in early pregnancy, generally in their country of origin.
Most of the remaining cases were children with mothers who, though they acquired infection in the UK or Ireland, were born abroad.
Any infant (live or still born) or child up to 16 years of age who, in the opinion of the notifying paediatrician, has suspected or confirmed congenital rubella with or without defects, based on history, clinical, and/or laboratory findings.
Please include 'imported cases', including children born in the UK where maternal infection occurred abroad, and children who were born abroad.
Please report any infant or child seen by you for the first time in the past month who meets the case definition, regardless of country of birth.
The National Congenital Rubella Surveillance Programme is currently supported by contributions from the National Screening Committee and the Population, Policy and Practice Programme at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health.
The London Multicentre Research Ethics Committee approved the NCRSP study (Ref:05/MRE02/2).

De Oostlijn is de verzamelnaam voor twee Amsterdamse metrolijnen die in de jaren zeventig van de twintigste eeuw zijn aangelegd. Het gaat om de Gaasperplaslijn (53) en de Geinlijn (54).

Geschiedenis
De Oostlijn is Amsterdams eerste metrolijn. Het oudste plan voor ondergronds vervoer in Amsterdam is van 1922. Verder dan een plan kwam het destijds niet. Vanaf de jaren vijftig werd er weer nagedacht over aanleg van tunnels en in 1966 verschenen de eerste uitgewerkte plannen. In 1968 werd het Plan Stadsspoor goedgekeurd door de gemeente Amsterdam, in die tijd plande men een heel ondergronds metronet dat alle wijken in Amsterdam met elkaar moest verbinden. Metroverbindingen in andere grote steden, zoals Moskou, Parijs en Londen waren het voorbeeld voor Amsterdam. De gemeente plande de volgende lijnen:
 Oostlijn van Zuidoost via het Centraal Station naar Osdorp (de huidige Oostlijn (lijn 54) is de oostelijke helft van deze lijn)
 Ringlijn van het Westelijk Havengebied via Station Zuid naar Diemen (huidige lijn 50)
 Noord-Zuidlijn van het Buikslotermeerplein via het Centraal Station naar het Weteringplantsoen en verder naar Amstelveen en Schiphol
 Oost-Westlijn van Geuzenveld via het Weteringplantsoen naar Diemen-Zuid en Gaasperplas (lijn 53 is het meest zuidoostelijke deel van deze lijn)

De gemeente besloot in 1968 te beginnen met de aanleg van de Oostlijn. Niet alleen zou deze lijn de nieuwe stadswijk in de Bijlmermeer ontsluiten; ook had deze lijn het kortste ondergrondse stuk van alle geplande lijnen. Alhoewel in het Plan Stadsspoor de Gaasperplastak onderdeel moest worden van de geplande Oost-Westlijn, besloot men deze mee te bouwen voor een betere ontsluiting van de Bijlmermeer. In een later stadium zou de Oostlijn in westelijke richting verlengd moeten worden naar Osdorp. De bouw startte in 1970.

Als eerste kwam in 1973 het gedeelte Venserpolder – Diemen Zuid – Verrijn Stuartweg gereed, dat vervroegd werd aangelegd en bedoeld was als testbaan. Hierop gingen toen de proefstellen 1-4 vanaf 1973 proefrijden. Bij station Venserpolder verscheen een romneyloods voor de metrostellen. Op drie zaterdagen in juni 1975 kon het publiek voor het eerst gratis een rit maken tijdens de jubileumviering van 75 jaar GVB en 700 jaar Amsterdam.

Voor de bouw van de 3,5 kilometer lange metrobuis moest een groot deel van de Nieuwmarktbuurt gesloopt worden. Dit kwam doordat men bovengronds grote betonnen caissons bouwde, die vervolgens moesten worden afgezonken. De sloop van de Nieuwmarktbuurt leidde tot massale protesten van de bevolking; in het voorjaar van 1975 uitmondend in de Nieuwmarktrellen. Om het verzet in diskrediet te brengen, pleegde een groepje rond de extreemrechtse politicus Joop Baank een bomaanslag op station Venserpolder. In 1975 besloot de gemeente Amsterdam na voltooiing van de Oostlijn geen nieuwe metrolijnen meer te bouwen.

In het voorjaar van 1977 werd drie maal een open huis gehouden waarbij het publiek voor het eerst gratis een rit op het ondergrondse en bovengrondse gedeelte kon maken. Men kon alleen bij het Amstelstation in en uit stappen.

Het eerste gedeelte van de Oostlijn kwam op 16 oktober 1977 in dienst tussen station Weesperplein en de stations Gaasperplas/Holendrecht. Op 12 oktober 1980 volgde de verlenging naar het Centraal Station.

Op 28 augustus 1982 volgde het resterende traject naar Gein. Alhoewel in vroege plannen uit werd gegaan van een open bak, werd dit traject uiteindelijk op een dijk met viaducten aangelegd. Naast de kosten speelde ook de verkaveling een rol die geheel anders was dan oorspronkelijk in het plan Zuid Bijlmer. De stations Reigersbos en Gein waren in 1977 al in ruwbouw gereed. Evenals het dijklichaam en de viaducten lagen deze vijf jaar in een kale vlakte in het niemandsland. De rails bij het station Holendrecht eindigden de eerste jaren voor het begin van het afslagtunneltje onder de spoorlijn uit Utrecht. Pas in 1982 begon men met de aanleg van de rails en afwerking van de stations.

Na het grootscheepse verzet in 1975 was het woord metro ruim twintig jaar taboe in Amsterdam. De in 1997 geopende Ringlijn (lijn 50) werd dan ook 'sneltram' genoemd, de wagens zien er ook uit als een tram. In technisch opzicht is de lijn echter een metrolijn. Pas in de jaren negentig, bij de planning van de Noord/Zuidlijn, werd in Amsterdam het woord "metro" weer gebruikt.

Architectuur
Het ontwerp voor de stations, de infrastructuur van de Oostlijn en de in 1978 gereedgekomen lijnwerkplaats in Diemen-Zuid werd vervaardigd door Ben Spängberg en Sier van Rhijn, twee architecten van de Dienst der Publieke Werken van de gemeente Amsterdam.

Hun ontwerpen kenmerken zich door grootschalige toepassing van kaal beton en betonsteen en de overmaat aan ruimte in de ondergrondse verdeelhallen. Ook was er sprake van een uitgekiend kleurgebruik. Zo kwam de oranje kleur van de metrodeuren in de oorspronkelijke opzet terug op belangrijke voorzieningen als informatieborden, toegangshekken, liftdeuren, vuilnisbakken en als accent op de bewegwijzering.

Het meest opvallende onderdeel van de Oostlijn wordt gevormd door het dubbele metroviaduct van de Gaasperplaslijn in de Bijlmermeer, tussen de stations Ganzenhoef en Kraaiennest. Deze 1100 meter lange colonnade bestaat uit twee enkelsporige viaducten die elk uit 33 kolommen van 15 meter hoog bestaan. Op deze kolommen, die telkens 30 meter uit elkaar staan, zijn 33 meter lange liggers opgelegd. De hart-op-hart afstand tussen beide viaducten bedraagt 15 meter. Deze uitzonderlijke hoogte was noodzakelijk omdat de metro binnen de Bijlmermeer ook over autowegen (de 'dreven') gevoerd moest worden, die in de oorspronkelijke opzet van de wijk zelf eveneens verhoogd waren. Het stelsel van dreven bevond zich op dijken en viaducten op 4 meter boven het maaiveld. Met deze maatvoering, die tevens goed aansloot op de enorme schaal van de Bijlmermeer, werd het ook mogelijk gras en andere beplanting op maaiveldniveau onder de metrobaan door te laten groeien.

Voor het ontwerp van de gehele Oostlijn ontvingen Spängberg en Van Rhijn in 1979 de Merkelbachprijs, een driejaarlijks toegekende architectuurprijs voor Amsterdamse bouwwerken die in 2003 ophield te bestaan. Daarnaast werd de Oostlijn in 1981 bekroond met de Betonprijs. Aan deze laatste onderscheiding herinneren plaquettes in de stationshallen van Centraal Station en Gein.

Als onderdeel van de regel dat één procent van de bouwkosten van ieder nieuw te bouwen openbaar gebouw besteed diende te worden aan kunst, was voor ieder Oostlijnstation een andere beeldend kunstenaar gevraagd een beeldende toevoeging te ontwerpen. Tegenwoordig zijn niet alle oorspronkelijke kunstwerken meer aanwezig. De westwand van de metrobuis was voorzien van een beschildering in de vorm van een lijnen- en vlakkenpatroon dat tussen twee stations telkens van ontwerp en kleur verschilde. Dit gaf een boeiend lijnenspel tijdens de rit. Deze beschildering is in de loop der jaren volledig bedekt onder de in de gehele tunnel aangebrachte graffiti.

Na ongeveer veertig jaar waren de stations verouderd en toe aan een opknapbeurt, ook werden ze als onprettig ervaren. De ruimtes waren oncomfortabel en de sociale veiligheid liet te wensen over. Van het oorspronkelijk ontwerp was weinig meer over. In maart 2016 werd er daarom ook begonnen aan een renovatie. Met de klus was 57 miljoen euro gemoeid en werd in fases uitgevoerd waardoor de gehele lijn operatief kon blijven. In december 2018 werd de gerenoveerde Oostlijn heropend.

Trivia
 Op zondagmorgen wordt er voor personeel van het AMC een aparte vroege rit gereden vanaf Amsterdam Centraal naar Gein, waarbij slechts enkele haltes worden aangedaan.

9 pages of calculus to derive and equation I need from first principles because I don't want to go to the library to get a copy of the course textbook because that means going outside when it's -30C out.
Using my scanner to photocopy the special report paper my assignments have to be completed on because I don't want to go back to campus to pick up the pad I forgot there.
One hour of Excel programming so I won't have to solve an iterative problem by hand… which probably would've only taken 20 minutes or so to solve by hand but I refuse to be a human computer, damn it, that's what computers are for.
Two hours of programming to solve the general case of an assignment because I resent assignment that consist of forced practice… when just doing the assignment probably would've only taken a half hours.
And so on. In general "me being lazy" consists of me refusing to do things I find outrageously tedious (e.g. iterative problems by hand, forced practice of the same type of problem over and over), or avoiding going outside in cold weather. I can and will often go to great lengths to avoid doing those things.
What do you look like when you're being lazy?
Completely frivolous: The downside of making broccoli cheese soup with an onion for flavor is that it requires chopping and cooking an onion.
I now remember why I so rarely cook with fresh onions.


Russian site Bay.ru announces Dostami Express, a service designed to help Russians to more quickly and easily receive packages from abroad. We are told that Bay.ru has invested $700,000 (545,000 Euro) over the past 6 months in developing partnerships, technology, facilities, and hiring operational staff for the new service. In commenting on the launch, company Head of Representation for Russia and CIS Maxim Andryukhin says that any serious retailer in this market, be it KupiVIP, OZON, or some other player, needs a best-of-breed delivery service or else they're "toast". Thus, Bay.ru has been actively developing a service which it claims to be 46% cheaper than Express Mail Service (EMS) and capable of delivering packages from the United States to Moscow or St. Petersburg within 7 days. Bay.ru further states that those who select Dostami Express as a shipping option will be able to track their order, much as you would with other shipping companies.
Bay.ru itself is not new, as it was established in 2007 as a site which would allow Russians to more easily obtain goods from abroad. According to a profile from last year on Bay.ru, which is strangely located in Skokie, Illinois (just north of Chicago), the service was created by Russian ex-pat brothers Anton and Gene German after receiving countless requests from friends and family to bring back coveted items from the United States. Realizing that there was an opportunity for creating a store which eased the process of purchasing these goods by Russian consumers, they built a company which has since expanded to 55 employees (based on information from an article on FastCompany last year), receives 100,000 unique daily visitors to their site, and have a predictable turnover of $75 million (58,4 million Euro) for 2013.
In discussing their competitors, company CEO Aaron Block said that Russian Post has long been the preferred method for shipping and that they believe that this new service will act a faster and cheaper alternative. Gene German says that they expect to ship 50% of their orders through Dostami Express by the end of 2013 and that this service will complement their current work with USPS and Russian Post. Earlier this year, we did a post about SendMeBox, an Russian online retailer which also hopes to make it easier for Russian consumers to order items from abroad. That service, which is under development by online retailer Newmans, claims that it will offer 100 million goods from 50,000 stores, but has to officially launch.

Lisa Wheadon
I first practiced yoga at school and dipped in and out for many years but in 1996 it took a serious illness to prompt me to take up yoga on a regular basis. Over the following years I found that not only did yoga help with the symptoms of the illness but was instrumental in the cure. It seemed natural to me to tell others of my success and I became a passionate advocate for the positive effects that yoga has on health and wellbeing. I trained to become a teacher with The British Wheel of Yoga under Paul Fox for three years and passed in 2009. Whilst training I started teaching so have been teaching for about 12 years. I regularly attend CPD yoga workshops and events that will improve my knowledge and understanding and so inform my teaching. I work intuitively and sympathetically with a relaxed attitude whilst respecting and honouring the traditions of yoga.
