Who is Nodeep…
Who is Nodeep Kaur and Why is She in Jail ?
Devayani Sathyan
Until Meena Harris, niece of US Vice President Kamala Harris decided to place the picture of a 23-year old Dalit labourer and trade union activist in her tweet, nobody knew about Nodeep Kaur. Kaur, in simple words is one among the hundreds who are behind the bars without getting a chance for a trial or bail. While the tweet is currently gaining traction amongst the public and officials; the Kaur family must be considering themselves lucky at the moment.

Nodeep Kaur, a Mazhabi Sikh, was arrested by the Haryana Police on January 12 after a demonstration in front of metal-cutting firm Sharan Elecmech in Haryana's Kundli Industrial Area. She has been charged under the non-bailable sections 307, 384 and 379 of the Indian Penal Code — attempt to murder, extortion and theft, respectively. Since the arrest, she has been the face of a labour rights campaign led by the Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan (MAS) that has run parallel to the farmers' protest.
Until December 2020, Kaur was part of the workforce of a firm in the Kundli Industrial Area (KIA) in Sonipat. Kaur was part of MAS that helped them organize and fight against the factory owners who ill-treated the workers. Reports even suggest that Kaur and her organisation have protested against many factory owners and helped more than 300 workers get their due payments within a month. On December 2nd, MAS decided to hold a protest march of 2,000 workers from across Delhi in solidarity with the farmers' protest. The factory owners who learned about the march, fired several of the employees, including Kaur. Kaur and others started protesting against this action and on January 12th during a sit-in-dharna, Kaur, along with MAS president Shiv Kumar, was arrested. It has been 28 days since she has been lodged at the Karnal jail and as of February 8th, she has been denied bail, twice.
Rajveer Kaur, sister of Nodeep Kaur, has accused the police of sexual assault and custodial torture. In an interview given to The Outlook, Rajveer alleges that serious injuries were found in Nodeep's private parts during the medical examination that was conducted two days after the arrest. In a statement on Saturday, Sonipat police denied these allegations "being circulated on social media platforms about illegal detention and harassment", and termed them an "afterthought". According to the police, Kaur and other members of the MAS had been trying to break into a factory in Kundli for the purpose of "illegal extortion" "under the garb of workers' unpaid salaries. Police alleges that when they arrived to play the role of a mediator between the Sangathan and the factory owners, the members of the MAS attacked them and seven police officers were injured.

Kaur was denied bail on the 3rd of February by a Sessions Court in Sonipat. Sessions Judge Y S Rathor, in his judgement stated that Kaur was "also facing two FIRs relating to extortion of money and threats .In view of the gravity of offence, the applicant does not deserve concession of bail and bail application is dismissed". It is reported that a third FIR has been filed against Kaur which her lawyer was not aware of and has now applied a bail for.
Soon after the tweet from Meena Harris, the Punjab State Commission for Scheduled Castes on Monday asked a state additional chief secretary to intervene in the case pertaining to Kaur and ensure relief to her at the earliest. While the panel also have sought a report in this regard by February 23, 2021 after initiating immediate requisite action, the family of Nodeep Kaur will be approaching the high court of Punjab and Haryana for the bail.
Kaur is merely a representative of the hundreds who are under illegal detention or are waiting trials. She may or may not get justice even after gathering international attention, but what about the rest who are imprisoned under different charges. Kaur's case reminds one that the justice system, which is supposedly a necessity is turning out to be a luxury that seems unaffordable for thousands.

The Royal Secret by Lucinda Riley -- Review
Title: The Royal Secret
Author: Lucinda Riley
Publishing: May 21st 2019 by Atria Books
In this suspenseful and heart-pounding novel from New York Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley, an ambitious young journalist unravels a dangerous mystery that threatens to devastate the British monarchy.
Keeping secrets is a dangerous game.
When Sir James Harrison, one the greatest actors of his generation, passes away at the age of ninety-five, he leaves behind not just a heartbroken family but also a secret so shocking, it could rock the English establishment to its core.
Joanna Haslam, an up-and-coming reporter, is assigned to cover the legendary actor's funeral, attended by glitzy celebrities of every background. But Joanna stumbles on something dark beneath the glamour: the mention of a letter James Harrison has left behind—the contents of which many have been desperate to keep concealed for over seventy years. As she peels back the veil of lies that has shrouded the secret, she realizes that she's close to uncovering something deadly serious—and the royal family may be implicated. Before long, someone is on her tracks, attempting to prevent her from discovering the truth. And they'll stop at nothing to reach the letter before she does.
Full of salacious scandal, shocking twists, and captivating romance, and written in Lucinda Riley's signature "vividly drawn and lushly atmospheric" (RT Book Reviews) prose, The Royal Secret is "a full-throttle escapist adventure" (Lancashire Evening Post).
This novel started out with a bang. I loved how there was a mixture of romance, mystery, and history. I really liked the first half of the book, but I had a little difficulty following the story as it went on. There were a lot of portions where the characters would imply certain things instead of saying them outright, and that became a little confusing as the book went on. I really enjoyed the novel, but it was a little hard to follow at times.
The characters were a lot of fun and I really enjoyed getting to know each of their pasts and some of the secrets they held. This novel was entertaining and kept me on my toes, but it was a tiny bit too long and confusing at times. I would still highly recommend this novel to readers who enjoy romantic suspense novels. Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for sending this novel in exchange for an honest review.

According to reports, casting directors are now casting lead roles in the movie. The producers of the blockbuster Black Panther are getting ready to shoot the latest movie in the series and they're now casting lead roles, stand-ins and background extras to work on the upcoming movie.
N'GASSI – Adviser to T'Challa, acting regent when he goes away on missions.
OKOYE – One of the former Dora Milaje, a ceremonial betrothed/bodyguard of T'Challa. Okoye is of the J'Kuwali tribe and acted as a traditional, proper concomitant to the king, speaking only to the king and only in Hausa, an African dialect not widely spoken in Wakanda and thus affording the king and his wives a measure of privacy.
QUEEN DIVINE JUSTICE – The street-smart queen of the Jabari tribe of Wakanda raised in Chicago, and former Dora Milaje (ceremonial betrothed/bodyguard) of T'Challa. She originally went by the name Chanté Giovanni Brown.

ZURI – A grumpy and gigantic elderly warrior. A close friend of the late T'Chaka, and one of T'Challa's most trusted advisers.
REVEREND ACHEBE – A poor farmer somewhere in South Africa, Achebe sold his soul to the demon Mephisto. He is portrayed as a grinning, unpredictable, lunatic, warrior-mystic, regularly talking to his hand-puppet Daki with delusions that it's truly alive, and engineering complex plots of social unrest for profit or entertainment.
ERIK KILLMONGER – A powerful warrior and strategic genius in politics and economics.
MALICE – Wakandan Mutate with superhuman strength, speed, and agility. She is a former Dora Milaje (ceremonial betrothed/bodyguard) of T'Challa.
MAN-APE – Ruler of the Jabari Tribe a recognized micronation within Wakanda's borders. M'Baku was Wakanda's greatest warrior second only to the Black Panther. He plotted to usurp the throne with the help of the outlawed White Gorilla cult who were ancient rivals of the Black Panther cult, which basically made them heretics since Panther worship is the state religion. Founding member of the "Pan African Congress on the Treatment of Superhumans".
WHITE WOLF – T'Challa's adopted elder brother and the former leader of the Hatut Zeraze, the espionage elite police of Wakanda. Exiled by T'Challa, due to using torture and assassinations in his zeal to root out potential threats to national security.
According to IMDB, Sarah Finn is the official casting director for the upcoming feature film. Sarah Finn Casting is known for casting some of the biggest movies in Hollywood including Avengers: Infinity War, Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Captain America: Civil War.

2018's Superhero Movies Ranked From Least To Most Highly Anticipated
2. Black Panther
Following a massive 2017, 2018 looks set to be even bigger. While many of the CBM releases remain a mystery, we know enough about them to figure out which you should be most excited about.
Arguably the best part of Captain America: Civil War, there are a long list of reasons to be excited for Black Panther, and it honestly has all the makings of being Marvel's best movie yet (a bold statement, but one which doesn't seem unrealistic). For starters, Creed helmer Ryan Coogler is directing, and that alone gives this one a serious advantage over every other superhero movie being released in 2018.
When you then take into account an incredible cast which already includes names like Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong'o, and Michael B. Jordan, Black Panther is shaping up to have an even better ensemble than Infinity War, while Sebastian Stan possibly returning as The Winter Soldier here also helps give it an edge. Black Panther will take us deep into Wakanda, and if you're not excited about that, what's wrong with you?!

Black Panther out ranked Avengers Infinity Wars and was second to Ben Affleck's unconfirmed "The Batman."

Chadwick Boseman's on stage now! He's thanking the fans for everything they've said to him, and what they hope to see in Black Panther.
Coogler is talking about Wakanda's warrior king, T'Challa. #BlackPanther aka @chadwickboseman is on stage! #MarvelSDCC
Ryan says this is really emotional for him--he's a big comic fan, been coming to the con since 2009. They're working on the script right now, written by Coogler and Joe Robert Cole.
Coogler says he went to his first Comic-Con in 2009 and this is a big emotional moment for him. Very cool. #MarvelSDCC
Kevin talking about Black Panther. That starts filming in January. Now on stage, #BlackPanther director Ryan Coogler! #MarvelSDCC
Killmonger! Malice! Okeye!
YESSSSS@SS
Malice and killmonger were my fan cast for those too LOL perfection
Booshman
Got a laugh at this. Dunno how old it is.
Pretty much my opinion though, after seeing all the DC stuff.
The Wakandan
Quote from: Booshman on July 24, 2016, 04:13:23 am
It's very recent. The artist who did it is on Twitter, forgot his name. Very funny compilation, lol.
there gonna have to use camera tricks to make MJB appear as imposing as Boseman dude to Boseman's height
wonder if Killmonger will dawn the armor in Hudlin's run?
Or maybe full on lady service and have them fight shirtless tribal stuff lol.
I hope they play the really really slow game with Nakia. I hope she "dies" or "sacrifices" herself to save T'challa near the end (explosionof some sort?) but T'challa and company can't find the body and presume her dead. But, her body is found by Achebe and she feels betrayed by her King and becomes Malice.
Think BP 1 should focus on Klaw (assuming hes gonna help) and Killmonger.
BLACK PANTHER Co-Star Reveals First Plot Synopsis
by Chris Arrant, EditorDate: 25 July 2016
Marvel Studios confirmed several key Black Panther cast-members and their roles at Comic-Con International: San Diego on Saturday, and one of those actors revealed even more - the movie's plot - in a backstage interview. Lupita N'yongo, who is confirmed to play a member of the Dora Milaje named Nakia, outlined the central thrust of the 2018 film in surprising detail.
"I can say more than I could about Star Wars," the actress said when asked about her role in the movie. "I play Nakia, who is part of the Dora Milake - whom I presume you know is a special forces group from Wakanda. The story of this Black Panther - what I am allowed to say - is that Black Panther's leadership has been threatened by two foes who come together, and so Black Panther gets the help of the C.I.A. and the Dora Milaje to try and defeat the enemy."
"That's more than I thought we'd learn," said the Marvel.com interviewer.
"I know. Someone's going to fire me shortly," she replied. "I have to shut up now."
Nyong'o didn't specify the identities of the "two foes," but Michael B. Jordan was confirmed Saturday as playing traditional Black Panther foe Erik Killmonger, who star Chadwick Boseman outright confirmed as one of the film's two villains earlier in the same video.
The leading contender for a second villain would likeky be Andy Serkis' Ulysses Klaue, who appeared in Avengers: Age of Ultron with a stolen cache of vibranium from Wakanda and who like his comic book counterpart, lost his hand in that film. Klaw of course is considered the comic book arch-villain of Black Panther.
You can watch the interview as it appears in this Marvel.com video around the 1:56:19 mark.
Black Panther is scheduled to open in theaters February 16, 2018.

« Last Edit: July 25, 2016, 06:03:06 pm by Ture »
klaw makes 100% sense if there is gonna be a team ups. Killmonger + M'baku or Achebe doesn't make sense.
Zemo is a wild card but I 100% doubt that.
You don't hire serkis for 5 minutes in AoU
CIA is obviously going to be Ross. I bet 'use' is a more apt description than "help" honestly.


The heart of my research is the scholarly culture of the late Renaissance and early Reformation era. I worked first of all on humanism and international humanist networks centred upon Reformed Basel, and studied works of cosmography as expressions of early modern history writing, geography and cartography, with a focus upon the intersection between traditional knowledge, scientific enquiry and religion.
More recently I have worked on Bible scholarship and the culture of translation among those same networks of humanist scholars, and the remarkable body of learning which they produced. I am working on a study of the new Reformed Latin translations of the Bible in the sixteenth century, each of which speaks to a particular moment of religious, cultural or political crisis.
My teaching covers aspects of European history, chiefly the intellectual and social developments of the northern Renaissance and the Reformation.

Q: How to send list from controller and accept json in jsp I want to display that list in json format. When I run this code, it does not display any data in json format but gets in other format. How to display that list?
Controller class
@Controller
public class RoomController {

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView saveEmployee(){
    System.out.println("welcome");
  return new ModelAndView("NewFile","message","hello");
 }
@RequestMapping(value="ViewMember",method=RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody List<RoomMembers> getRoomMembers() {
    System.out.println("second test");
    List<RoomMembers> roomMemberList= new ArrayList<RoomMembers>();
    roomMemberList=roomDao.listMember();
    return roomMemberList;
}

Jsp file is
<head>
<title>Spring MVC Ajax Demo</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doAjax() {
  $.ajax({
    url: '/RoomController/ViewMember',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(data) {
    var roommember=JSON.parse(data);;
      $('#time').html(roommember);
    }
  });
 }
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="demo" onclick="doAjax()" title="Button">Get the time!</button>
<div id="time">
</div>
</body>

A: It seems you are requesting the wrong url. In the script in your jsp, the url passed do $.ajax() is url /RoomController/ViewMember.html. But in your controller you have mapped ir as simply 'ViewMember'
@RequestMapping(value="ViewMember",method=RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=application/json")

Try requesting just /RoomController/ViewMember and let's us know wether it works or not.
EDIT:
You say that .html url gets called and that you are using Spring 4.0.6, and that you get a HTTP 406 (NOTACCEPTABLE) response.
First check if you are sending Accept header as "application/json". But you won't be able to receive an HTTP 200 with json response in a controller mapped with ".html"/".htm" in a Spring MVC Controller with Spring 3.2 or above. From https://stackoverflow.com/a/39479308/4190848:

As of Spring 3.2+, the content negotiation has other facts in account prior to eval Accept header:
From https://spring.io/blog/2013/05/11/content-negotiation-using-spring-mvc:

Enabling Content Negotiation in Spring MVC
Spring supports a couple of conventions for selecting the format
    required: URL suffixes and/or a URL parameter. These work alongside
    the use of Accept headers. As a result, the content-type can be
    requested in any of three ways. By default they are checked in this
    order:

*

*Add a path extension (suffix) in the URL. So, if the incoming URL is something like http://myserver/myapp/accounts/list.html then HTML
    is required. For a spreadsheet the URL should be
    http://myserver/myapp/accounts/list.xls. The suffix to media-type
    mapping is automatically defined via the JavaBeans Activation
    Framework or JAF (so activation.jar must be on the class path).

*A URL parameter like this: http://myserver/myapp/accounts/list?format=xls. The name of the
    parameter is format by default, but this may be changed. Using a
    parameter is disabled by default, but when enabled, it is checked
    second.

*Finally the Accept HTTP header property is checked. This is how HTTP is  > actually defined to work, but, as previously mentioned, it
    can
    be problematic to use.

That actually means that if you map a @Controller method with a
  .htm(l) suffix, it is intended to return html and won't return
  json nor any other format even if you sent other format as Accept
  header.
  ...

So change your mapping to other suffix than ".html"/".htm" (or use no suffix) and you will solve your error

A: the url in ajax is wrong,you should write "ViewMember".

Every January, hundreds of thousands of golf lovers head to Scottsdale, Arizona to enjoy "The Greatest Show on Grass." The Waste Management Phoenix Open is among the best-attended golf events in the world. With so many eyes on their course, the greens team at Tournament Players Club (TPC) has their work cut out for them for months leading up to and during the Phoenix Open.
So what all does it take to maintain a top-notch course for a PGA TOUR tournament? According to Blake Meentemeyer, Director of Golf Course Maintenance Operations at TPC, it takes months and months of preparation.
Contractors start working on building and construction for the Phoenix Open the first week of October, right around the same time as overseeding. Collaborating with contractors, overseeding schedules, marking irrigation and electrical lines, weekly meetings and more are all part of the norm the fall before the event.
"Every decision we make can affect the tournament starting from October. We have to keep a close eye on the weather, frost and more," said Blake.
TPC is a busy course, seeing 45,000 rounds of golf on each of the two courses throughout the year. So, in addition to building and prepping the course for the tournament, TPC is still open to guests all winter long. The course is only closed for four days leading up to the Phoenix Open.
With the greens needing to be in perfect condition throughout tournament prep, the TPC team focuses a lot of time and effort on irrigation and turf maintenance for their guests in preparation for the Phoenix Open.
They work on dialing in the irrigation system and making percentage adjustments, being especially mindful of any rainfall in the winter months. They also flush the greens a few times and monitor salt content in their water supply. They keep a close relationship with the city on any changes to the water.
For turf maintenance, weather is a huge factor, especially this year since Phoenix experienced an unusually cold winter.
"Grass growth has to happen in November, when we have the day length and weather for it," said Blake of the challenges of turf maintenance. He and his team used slightly more fertilizer this year because of the colder temperatures, knowing the growth window would close sooner than it typically does.
The TPC team also used wetting agents, monitored salt levels and kept a close eye on the nighttime temperatures.
While the team can't control the weather, one key factor they can control when preparing for the international event: the TPC team. TPC has 60 team members across both golf courses, but for the Phoenix Open, they bring in an additional 35 volunteers from around the world.
Starting in the fall, the TPC team collects applicants for the volunteer positions at the Phoenix Open. They look for previous tournament experience and various course maintenance experiences. Blake shared that a lot of professional superintendents are volunteers because they have the opportunity to learn something new from the tournament prep work to take back to their courses or tournaments. It's a great learning and sharing opportunity among colleagues.
When it comes to tournament preparation, Blake also suggested leveraging vendors and partners. He has great relationships with the course vendors year-round, so when it's time for the Phoenix Open, he knows he can count on them to get to the course quickly with what they need.

A 59-year-old man with a past medical history of hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presented with upper respiratory tract symptoms including cough, rhinorrhea, pleuritic chest pain for 10 days and worsening dyspnea on exertion for 3 days. He was found to be hypoxemic by his primary care physician and was sent to the emergency department.
Eight months prior to this presentation, he was diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. At that time he underwent cardioversion but was readmitted 3-4 weeks later for atrial flutter. Given the need for multiple cardioversions, antiarrhythmic therapy was initiated with amiodarone 200 mg orally daily. Three weeks later, he presented with symptomatic atrial tachycardia and was found to have pericardial effusion with early tamponade. He received a second cardioversion and a pericardiocentesis of one liter. He was maintained on amiodarone 200 mg orally once daily.
In the emergency department he was saturating 79% oxygen on room air with mild respiratory distress. He was afebrile and normotensive. The neck was without jugular venous distension. Chest exam was remarkable for diffuse expiratory rhonchi. Cardiac evaluation showed a regular rate andrhythm; normal S1 and S2; and no rubs, murmurs. The abdomen was nontender, without organomegaly or masses. The extremities showed no edema.
Laboratory data was significant for a white cell count of 14.1K. Chest radiography (CXR) showed bilateral diffuse alveolar/interstitial infiltrates. Urine antigens were negative for Streptococcal pneumonia and Legionella, blood and sputum cultures were negative. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed extensive intralobular septal thickening with ground glass opacities in a crazy-paving pattern in both lung fluids sparing the periphery (Figures 1 and 2).
Figure 1. A-Chest radiography (CXR) showed bilateral diffuse alveolar/interstitial opacity. B- CT Chest Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed extensive intralobular septal thickening with ground glass opacities in a crazy-paving pattern in both lung fluids sparing the periphery.
Figure 2. Histopathology from patient's lung biopsy shows foamy macrophages in the air spaces and cytoplasmic lammellar inclusions are characteristic for amiodarone exposure.
Due to the concern of possible toxicity, amiodarone was discontinued. The patient was started on ceftriaxone and azithromycin for community acquired pneumonia, as well as oseltamivir for influenza-like symptoms. Over the next 24 hours, oxygen requirements worsened from 2 to 5 liters per minute. Video-assisted thoracoscopic lung biopsy was performed and the patient was started on IV steroids (Figure 2). Histopathology revealed findings characteristic of amiodarone exposure; foamy macrophages in the air spaces and cytoplasmic lammellar inclusions. Amiodarone lung toxicity was diagnosed after excluding other infiltrative lung diseases. Antibiotics and oseltamivir were discontinued. Patient's oxygen saturation improved slowly after starting the steroids and his oxygen requirements decreased. He was discharged with oxygen and oral steroids tapper after a long hospital course.
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent commonly used to treat supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Its half-life is prolonged about 45 days. Multiple side effects had been reported in multiple body organs in which pulmonary toxicity being one of the most critical ones [1,2].
Amiodarone induces several forms of pulmonary toxicity ranging from mild to fatal complications; including chronic interstitial pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia, solitary lung masses and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The mechanisms of amiodarone-induced pulmonary injury are incompletely understood. Two major hypotheses include direct cytotoxicity and a hypersensitivity reaction [1-3].
Toxic effects of amiodarone for the lungs are usually observed with higher cumulative doses typically exceeding 400 mg daily for several months.
Amiodarone has a long half-life with a high tissue affinity for the lung. The prevalence is estimated to be about 5%. The accumulation of cellular drug-phospholipid complexes that interferes with normal cellular metabolic pathways which ultimately leads to direct cell injury and death explains the pathophysiology for lung toxicity. Both apoptotic and necrotic cell death have been implicated. Chronic inflammation results from cellular injury; while persistent insults can ultimately lead to fibrosis. Another mechanism was referred to a hypersensitivity reaction, but it is less understood, but it is suggested in patients who presents with features of a hypersensitivity pneumonitis [2,4,5].
Risk factors for amiodarone lungs toxicity are uncertain but may include mainly: a high cumulative dose, a daily dose greater than 400 mg, a duration of therapy exceeding two months, patient's age above 60 years, preexisting lung disease .
CT chest remained the optimal radiological tool for diagnosis. Discontinuation of amiodarone should be considered once toxicity suspected as the first step in management. Adding steroids should be considered for use in cases of symptomatic toxicity.
Foamy macrophages in the air spaces and cytoplasmic lammellar inclusions are characteristic histopathological features for amiodarone exposure. Diagnosis mainly made by exclusion of other infiltrative lung diseases.
Patients who might benefit from amiodarone should be chosen wisely with starting with the lowest effective dose possible. There is no optimal guidelines to follow up on these patients but a documented decline in the diffusing capacity of greater than 20% is useful in suggesting the need for closer monitoring or for further diagnostic testing. Most of the time testing includes pulmonary function test and radiological imaging starting with CXR .
Amiodarone can induce lung toxicity even at low cumulative doses. Although the onset of symptoms is usually insidious, it may sometimes presents acutely, mimicking acute pneumonia, such in our patient.
Amiodarone induces lung toxicity even with lower accumulated doses.
Discontinuation of amiodarone should be considered once toxicity suspected as the first step in management.
Patients who might benefit from amiodarone should be chosen wisely with starting with the lowest effective dose possible with close monitoring.

A database is to be designed for a University to monitor students' progress throughout their course of study. The students are reading for a degree (such as B.Tech, B.Tech (Hons) MCA, etc) within the framework of the modular system. The University provides a number of courses, each being characterized by its code, title, credit value, course coordinator, teaching staff and the department they come from. A course is co-ordinated by a course coordinator who shares teaching duties with one or more lecturers. A lecturer may teach more than one course. Students are free to choose any course they wish but the following rules must be observed: some courses require pre-requisites courses and some degree programs have compulsory courses. The database is also to contain some information about students including their numbers, names, addresses, degrees they read for, and their past performance (i.e. courses taken and examination results).
Represent the complete scenario with the help of ER Diagram and design logical schema for this database. Also specify desirable constraints and justify your design approach even in a single small step.

Small but savvy

Interplast uses technology to spread the word, improve patient care.
By Ret Boney
With a home base in Mountain View, Calif., and children in need of its services spread across the world, Interplast is constantly looking for ways to broaden and improve its work.
Founded in 1969 to provide free reconstructive surgery to disfigured children in developing countries, the recent explosion of new Internet technologies has transformed the small shop.
Using interactive tools over the web, Interplast now is able to provide donors with same-day results of surgeries and can connect doctors in countries like Nigeria with specialists across the globe.
Interplast's staff of 18 organizes teams, culled from a network of about 700 volunteer surgeons and nurses, travel to 14 different third-world countries to operate on about 1,600 children every year, says Sara Anderson-Hsiao, the group's director of communications.
The teams repair cleft lips and palates, help burn victims regain movement, and fix other disfiguring problems that can isolate children from mainstream society in countries like Ethiopia, Myanmar and Peru.
It also provides financial and volunteer support in other countries to operate eight surgical outreach centers that perform an additional 1,500 surgeries each year.
To do that work, Interplast has all the basic technology in place, including a website, email, a donor database and backoffice systems to run functions like accounting and payroll, says Anderson-Hsiao.
But as new, inexpensive technologies have emerged over the past few years, Interplast has gone beyond the basics, without putting additional strain on its $3 million annual budget, she says.
About 18 months ago, the group started a blog, an online diary of sorts that ties all the group's constituents together.
"We did it not only for us in the field," says Anderson-Hsiao, "but so our supporters and staff back here could feel like they were in the field with us."
Interplast's blog, which costs about $15 a month to operate, was fairly easy to set up, says Seth Mazow, the group's "accidental techie."
Mazow joined the organization two years ago at age 23 doing what he calls communications gruntwork.
Now the group's communications and technology coordinator, he directs technology as it relates to marketing and communications, which includes the blog, tools that make the site easier for Internet surfers to find, and RSS feeds that make viewers aware of updates to the site.
The group's blog, which Mazow says has had more than 40,000 visitors since its inception, contains entries and photos from before and after surgeries, as well as patients' stories, posted by the volunteer medical personnel onsite.
"With a blog, we could decrease the time and emotional distance to one day," he says. "That was really powerful because we could give our donors up-to-the-day information on how their money is being spent."
With the free technical-assistance resources available to nonprofits these days, plus tools that are becoming easier to use, Mazow says he was able to get the blog up and running quickly without any paid help.
For a history major with no formal technical training, that kind of free assistance has been key, he says.
Some of it comes from groups whose mission is to help nonprofits better take advantage of technology, and some comes from networking with other folks in the nonprofit sector.
"If you just write them an email, they'll tell you," he says of his peers in the nonprofit world. "That's how I got my start. Now if I have a question, I know who to ask."
Technology also has helped Interplast improve the care it provides patients, regardless of where a child lives.
Its web-based Grand Rounds program, started about four years ago, allows doctors with difficult cases to post information on the Internet, including photos and medical histories, and receive advice and input from medical specialists around the world.
"As soon as the case is posted, instantly and automatically the email is sent to all participants," says Bill Schneider, a plastic surgeon and Interplast's chief medical officer. "Responses are posted immediately with ideas for how to respond."
That network of on-call doctors includes about 50 plastic surgeons and sub-specialists in the U.S. and 50 abroad covering all the reconstructive areas in which Interplast works, he says.
And Grand Rounds allows the group to extend its reach into countries like Nepal and Nigeria, where government warnings prohibit the group from sending teams of volunteers.
Prior to Interplast Grand Rounds, organizing meaningful consults for doctors in the field was difficult, took more time and was limited to a smaller number of specialists, says Schneider.
Using commercially-available software that is inexpensive and easy-to-use, the program now basically carries itself, he says.
It's a good time to be exploring technology in the nonprofit field, says Mazow, who spends part of his time evaluating what's out there and worth investing in.
"The most valuable thing we have on our staff is our time," he says. "The challenge is always on us to prove to people that we're spending their money to do the most good."

The testing period isn't live in North America yet, though.
It seems like Epic Games is preparing to test some alterations to the tournament system in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Epic revealed its in-game Events system for online Fortnite tournaments that are open to all players in October 2018. In these events, players try to earn points by eliminating multiple opponents or achieving high placements. If players reach a specific amount of points, they're rewarded with a pin.
These online tournaments will also be important for players who hope to qualify for professional competitions, such as the 2019 Fortnite World Cup. In October, Epic said that players would be able to qualify for the World Cup through a Showdown Royale tournament that's set to be a part of the in-game Events system.
Epic is most likely using the Limited Testing Event that's now live in some regions to experiment with potential changes for online tournaments. Many fans hope that this Limited Testing Event will be a success, or at least show Epic what it needs to improve moving forward.

BASKETBALL: Wits Young Bucks take victory against UJ
by Busang Senne | Aug 25, 2019
Even with a slower start, Wits managed to kick up the pace to bag a win against rivals University of Johannesburg.
The Wits University men's basketball second team secured a crucial 82-70 win against the University of Johannesburg (UJ) at Hall 29 on Sunday morning, August 25.
The largely neck and neck game saw the Wits Young Bucks come out on top, progressing to the quarterfinals of second round of the Gauteng University Basketball League after defeating UJ.
The Young Bucks started slowly in the first and second quarters. During the first quarter Young Bucks steadily trailed behind until a point was scored by player number nine, forward, Storm Menges, with 2:26 minutes until the end of the first quarter, leveling the playing field to a 13-13 tie.
Just 1:39 minutes before the end of the first quarter, number 10, Izera Mohttalal, scored a point to secure Wits' 16-13 lead. The first quarter ended with a 13-19 lead for Wits following a penalty shot by number 4, Sesli.
During the second quarter UJ gained an advantage early in the game, scoring a penalty shot, as the team played catch up to Wits. Just before the final whistle for the second half, UJ's Mandla Tshula scored a another penalty shot making the score 18-19 to Wits.
However, the Young Bucks started to dominate the game during the third quarter.
Wits continued to break through UJ's defence but UJ once again equalised the score at the beginning of the third quarter, when UJ player number 16, Thabang Ogazi, scored 20-19 at 5:35 minutes to go.
UJ maintained their advantage thanks to a number of fouls from Wits. This resulted in multiple penalty shots that scored UJ additional points.
The two teams went back and forth for the lead, but in the end Wits bounced back to dominate the game, with the final 82-70 penalty shot scored in the last seconds of the game by number six, Henry Mandungu.
Samkeliso Dlamini, small forward and number 19 for UJ, said the team's defence is where they let themselves down.
"We're still lacking in defence. — at times we were a bit slow., We did well but not enough to win the game".
Young Bucks captain and forward player, Rekessi Esipisu said Wits must stay focused on keeping consistent pressure throughout their matches.
"Defensively we were lacking until the fourth quarter, where we knocked them down.
"Next week we're going to have much tougher opposition, so we need to start the game strong. We need to start [and be] focused the whole game," Esipisu told Wits Vuvuzela.
Young Bucks guard, Simukai Madiro, said the team had a good game but there is room for improvement.
"The third quarter was good. We made a few points we would not have made in the first quarter, but we have to practice keeping our foot on the gas the whole time," said Madiro.
The Young Bucks face either Northwest University or University of Pretoria next week Saturday, depending on the second division results on August 25.

To what extent do exchange rates influence lamb prices in the UK?
By Charlie Reeve
There is a range of different market drivers that influence sheep prices, including supply, consumer demand and international trade to name a few. The exchange rate also plays a role. The EU is the main market for UK sheep meat exports. A weaker sterling compared to the Euro helps make UK sheep meat more price competitive.
In 2019, 32% of total UK sheep meat production was exported and over 90% of these exports went to the EU. The UK is becoming more self sufficient for lamb as production has been growing in the UK, whilst consumption and imports decline, this is in turn likely to lead to a larger exportable surplus.
In 2020, UK lamb prices have also been driven by changes in consumer demand with a major shift to retail purchases during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic. A high proportion of UK lamb exports to the EU would normally end up in the food service sector of the destination countries, with lockdown taking place across Europe due to coronavirus this has also affected demand.
UK exports have benefitted from a favourable exchange rate due to a weak sterling compared to the Euro for most of 2020 so far. This has helped to support UK farmgate prices, although there are other factors also at play, including a strong price in France.
On 6 November 2020, the exchange rate between UK Sterling and the Euro was at 1:1.1088, the same week in 2019 the exchange rate stood at 1:1.1598. To put this into context let's take a lamb weighing 20kg deadweight, at 450p/kg. This carcase would be valued at £90, but €99.79 on 6 November 2020, and €104.38 based off 2019's exchange rate, a difference of €4.59 year-on-year for the same carcase.
It is still to be determined whether negotiations with the EU will lead to a deal being agreed between the UK and EU. In the event of a tariffs having to be imposed, an additional 12.8% would be added to the to the cost of UK sheep meats exports to the EU as well as a further €171.3/100kg (for fresh/chilled lamb carcases/half-carcases) based off the EU tariff rate. It is widely thought that in the event of no deal, sterling would weaken. Although this would help compensate, it is by no means guaranteed.

Migrating Mozilla Translations to Firefox

This quickstart shows you how to migrate your existing translations
of the Mozilla suite to the Firefox web-browser.  The same
instructions can be used to migrate Thunderbird.

Note: This guide assumes that you are or will be using <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files.

 this page needs to be rewriten now that Mozilla is using <acronym title="Comma Separated Value">CSV</acronym>.  The steps are more or less the same.  Look at creating mozilla POT files which talks about creating <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object Template">POT</acronym> file from <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym>. Then the process is mostly the same except swap any reference to <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> to be the translations in Mozilla <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym>.

Quick Start

 moz2po -t mozilla-1.7.3-langenus.xpi langXXYY.xpi xxYY-1.7.3

 moz2po -P firefox-1.0-en-US.xpi templates-ff-1.0

 pomigrate2 xxYY-1.7.3 xxYY-ff-1.0 templates-ff-1.0

Detailed Description

Make sure your Mozilla is in PO format

If you are not currently using <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files to do your translations then you can
migrate an existing <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> to <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> format.

Get the correct en-US xpi

Firstly make sure you have an <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> for your language then download a Mozilla English (US) <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym>
for the same release:

 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7.3/linux-xpi/langenus.xpi

Change 1.7.3 to the release that you need.  Note: Linux and Windows
langenus.xpi are the same so no need to worry about that.

Create Mozilla PO files for your language

Now create the Mozilla <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files for your language using your existing <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> and
the en-US <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym>.

moz2po -t mozilla-1.7.3-langenus.xpi langXXYY.xpi xxYY-1.7.3

Where:

 mozilla-1.7.3-langenus.xpi is the langenus.xpi downloaded above

 langXXYY.xpi is your existing translated <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> with the same version and the en-US one downloaded.

 xxYY-1.7.3 is an output directory for the <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files

Create Firefox POT files

You need to create a set of Firefox <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> Template files that you will use as templates
when you migrate your Mozilla translations.  Template files are simply blank <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files.

Getting the en-US.xpi

Rumour has it that the en-US <acronym title="Cross Platform Installer">XPI</acronym> files for Firefox are different for Windows and Linux.

 Linux -- Firefox 1.0: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/linux-i686/xpi/en-US.xpi

 Windows -- Firefox 1.0: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0/win32/xpi/en-US.xpi

Create the POT files

moz2po -P firefox-1.0-en-US.xpi templates-ff-1.0

Where:

 -P specifies that you want to create <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object Template">POT</acronym> files instead of <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files

 firefox-1.0-en-US.xpi is an en-US.xpi for Firefox downloaded earlier

 templates-ff-1.0 is the new directory that will contain the <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object Template">POT</acronym> files

Migrate the Mozilla PO files to Firefox

We will now take the existing Mozilla <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files and migrate them to Firefox.
Note that this tool only works on Linux (or an operating environment with bash
and the gettext tools).  If you need help ask at translate-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

pomigrate2 xxYY-1.7.3 xxYY-ff-1.0 templates-ff-1.0

Where:

 xxYY-1.7.3 contains your Mozilla <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files

 xxYY-ff-1.0 will contain your new Firefox files

 templates-ff-1.0 contains the Firefox template files

How does it do the migration?

Things that are fully automated scare most people and justifiably so!  The
migration will do the following:

 For each Firefox <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> Template file

 If there is one in your Mozilla folder

 If there is only one file with that name

 copy it to the correct Firefox <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> location

 Else

 combine all the copies you find and then copy them to the Firefox <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> location

 Else

 Initialise a blank <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> file

 Create a compendium file of all Mozilla <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files

 Update all Firefox <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files optionally using the compendium

The result is that all Firefox files are at least initialised.  Many of them
are populated with conflicting entries clearly highlighted and ready for you to
fix.

Begin translating

Your <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> files are ready.  Begin translating with any of your usual <acronym title="Gettext Portable Object">PO</acronym> editing
tools.

#RespetaMiGente is a continuation of the #QueVoteMiGente voter mobilization campaign, the non-partisan coalition of advocacy and community organizing groups that promotes the issues important to Puerto Ricans as one of the newest influential demographics in the past 2016 election. The coalition uses in-person organizing tactics on the ground in Central Florida, as well as innovative digital outreach to reach an unprecedented number of Puerto Ricans in the crucial districts of Central Florida, including one million homes in predominantly Puerto Rican communities, 15 million digital impressions, and outreach to over 2,000 LGBTQ Latinxs in Florida with GOTV messaging in English and Spanish in collaboration with Grindr for Equality.
Puerto Rican turnout had significant down-ballot impact in 2016, delivering victories to Darren Soto, the first Puerto Rican congressman from Florida, Amy Mercado and Victor Torres who serve in the Florida State House and Senate, respectively, and Emily Bonilla who sits on the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, making her the first Puerto Rican Democrat elected to that office. Florida candidates that engaged and prioritized Puerto Rican outreach and issues tapped into a growing political force. After the 2016 presidential election, they established themselves as a new force in American politics.
What is #RespetaMiGente?
#RespetaMiGente is a coalition of national and local groups organizing to promote the issues important to Puerto Ricans, one of the newest influential demographics in the 2018 election. #RespetaMiGente focuses on digital storytelling, national advocacy, and local grassroots organizing in Central Florida through voter registration and mobilization campaign efforts.

Why Florida and Why Puerto Ricans?
The Puerto Rican vote will be pivotal in Florida's I-4 corridor, a region that can help decide the midterm elections in Florida. The next Congress will have not only an opportunity but an obligation to redefine Puerto Rico's future. Florida voters will have a critical role in deciding the priorities of the next Congress. By 2020, Puerto Ricans will comprise the largest Hispanic group in the state of Florida and will have the power to remake Florida politics for years to come.
Puerto Rico could lose roughly 470,000 residents between 2017 and 2019 and the majority will resettle in Florida. The Puerto Rican vote, and that of Latinos in swing districts and states around the country, will decide this midterm election.

Top energy regulator tied to bidders for state work
By SCOTT WALDMAN
ALBANY—As New York's top energy regulator, Audrey Zibelman is in a position to influence a market worth billions of dollars and help set the policy that governs it.
At the same time, Zibelman, who worked in the private sector before Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed her chairwoman of the state Public Service Commission in 2013, has unusually close ties to energy companies vying for work in New York.
Zibelman is a shareholder in a company called Viridity Energy that develops energy grid technology, according to financial disclosures obtained by Capital. Viridity, which Zibelman co-founded and formerly headed before Cuomo tapped her to lead the P.S.C., has at least one project in New York and is listed as a founding partner for a website related to the energy storage market that is also backed by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, for which she is a board member.
Zibelman also has ties to other companies vying for state business, primarily through an overlapping series of partnerships or common principals involved in multiple projects.
She recently recused herself, after a question from a newspaper reporter, from a decision that could benefit a separate energy company she's connected to through a series of overlapping corporate boards and financial backers. The company, Anbaric, has billions of dollars in potential transmission and microgrid projects pending before the state and was founded by her former business partner at Viridity, Edward Krapels. (An Anbaric website describes Viridity as a "collaborator.")
But, Capital has learned, Zibelman has voted on issues that involve Anbaric in the past and earlier this year, she met with Krapels about Anbaric's competition for lucrative state-assisted microgrid projects.
An Anbaric spokesman said the company expects the state to select it soon to work on microgrids, which are small electrical grids with their own energy source.
Separately, a senior official at the company Zibelman founded, and who also works for her husband's company, is an investor in Anbaric, which has at least three major projects currently seeking approval from the P.S.C. or that are expected to do so in the future.
Zibelman, through a P.S.C. spokesman, said she does not benefit financially from Anbaric's transactions.
"As publicly stated, there is no conflict of interest related to Chair Zibelman and Anbaric's Poseidon project," P.S.C. spokesman James Denn said in a statement. "However, given Anbaric is a petitioner and she is a decision maker, Chair Zibelman voluntarily recused herself from the potentially controversial proceeding to avoid even the appearance of a conflict."
The P.S.C. also said that Zibelman was not required to recuse herself from Anbaric's two other major projects because they were still in the development phase and that her recusal was not required under state law. They did not provide documentation on Zibelman's recusal from the one Anbaric project.
Viridity is listed as a "founding partner," along with NYSERDA, of the website, GridMarket.com, which is a web platform that promotes energy storage in New York buildings. The joint venture was announced last year, about a year after Zibelman took over as P.S.C. chair. Zibelman said she had no awareness of the relationship between the website and the state.
On her annual financial disclosure, Zibelman only disclosed that her stake in Viridity is worth more than $1,000. However, in a response to Capital, Zibelman said her stake in Viridity had no "book value" and that she received no compensation or dividends from the company.
And Zibelman and her husband are connected directly or indirectly to a number of other companies actively participating in the state's energy grid overhaul, known officially as the Reforming Energy Vision plan. As a company that can help formulate the energy grid of the future, Viridity stands to profit from a reworked grid, particularly in the development of microgrids. Other states are expected to follow the precedent New York sets under R.E.V.
State ethics laws require that public officials in New York should refrain from direct conflicts of interest, as well as the appearance of a conflict of interest. Violations could result in a fine or, in extreme cases, jail time.
According to Meave Tooher, an ethics attorney and the former investigations counsel at the state ethics commission who headed the corruption probe of former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi, Zibelman's situation presents at least the appearance of a conflict of interest, and merits tougher scrutiny by the state.
"If you just look to the nature of the P.S.C. and the entities they regulate, it becomes clear it's important that those conflicts get examined," Tooher said.
"It seems like it could create an appearance of impropriety and that can be broader than a direct conflict," she said. "The state is compelled to act in response to these situations. They should look at them and determine if a public employee has violated the ethical standards set forth in the Public Officers Law."
Notwithstanding what experts say is an appearance of conflicts, there is no indication that Zibelman, her husband or any of the companies involved have done anything illegal or ethically improper. But the state's public officers law states that officers of state agencies should not create the "impression that any person can improperly influence him or unduly enjoy his favor in the performance of his official duties."
State public officer law also says, "No officer or employee of a state agency ... should have any interest, financial or otherwise, direct or indirect, or engage in any business or transaction or professional activity or incur any obligation of any nature, which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge of his duties in the public interest."
The P.S.C. has traditionally drawn its members from the ranks of the utility or energy industry and experts say there are no clear lines regarding the degree of involvement former executives in private industry should have with their former colleagues and companies once they join the P.S.C.
Before her appointment to head the P.S.C., Zibelman was the chief executive officer at Viridity, which has raised tens of millions of dollars in private capital since then. Her husband, Phil Harris, is the chief executive officer of Tres Amigas, a New Mexico-based company that is seeking to raise more than $1 billion to connect the nation's electric grids and allow for greater growth of clean energy.
In April, after questions from a Newsday reporter, Zibelman said she would recuse herself from state proceedings over a proposed Long Island underwater transmission line, the Poseidon Project, that is being developed by Anbaric. She acknowledged that she voted on a proceeding related to the project in 2013, but, they said in a response to Capital, she only had to recuse herself after "Poseidon's filing had been deemed complete by staff, and potentially moving toward an eventual decision by the Commission."
It would connect Long Island to the PJM grid, where Zibelman was once chief operating officer.
In response to questions about Anbaric's work in New York, Anbaric founder Edward Krapels issued a one-sentence statement that pointed to the company's decade of work in New York. Company officials did not comment on whether they might enjoy favored status due to Krapels' relationship with Zibelman.
"For more than 10 years and under four PSC chairs, Anbaric has been part of the teams developing energy infrastructure projects that provide value to New York ratepayers, and we look forward to continuing to do so," Krapels said in a statement.
Viridity, Anbaric and the company headed by Zibelman's husband, Tres Amigas, share at least one other significant connection to each other. Russel Stidolph is listed on company websites as the chairman of the board of directors at Viridity, founded by Zibelman, and the chief financial officer at Tres Amigas, headed by Zibelman's husband. He also founded a third company, AltEnergy L.L.C., that financially backs energy projects including Anbaric, according to AltEnergy's website. Viridity, the company in which Zibelman is a shareholder, also counts AltEnergy among its financial backers, according to the company website.
Officials for AltEnergy, Tres Amigas and Viridity did not respond to request for comment.
Even if she does recuse herself, as head of the Department of Public Services, Zibelman technically oversees the state employees who will work on the state's approval of the Anbaric projects. An Anbaric official has also been appointed by state officials to work on the state's influential microgrid working group under the Reforming Energy Vision plan to rework the state's energy grid to accommodate more renewables, something the company said is key to its future growth in New York.
In 2013, Zibelman headed the P.S.C. when it voted to approve a request from a project in which Anbaric is involved, the proposed West Point transmission line in the Hudson Valley, to waive some preliminary application requirements, public records show. In 2013, Zibelman also voted to waive some preliminary application requirements for the Posiedon transmission line, which is also developed by Anbaric. Both of those waivers could save the company money. In a response to Capital, state officials acknowledged Zibelman's votes on the Anbaric projects and said "granting waivers in siting cases is common when the requirements can be otherwise met."
Anbaric transmission has not put a pricetag on most of their projects now in development in New York, but those that would require some approval from the P.S.C. could be worth billions, if their cost is similar to that of comparable projects the company has worked on. In 2013, Anbaric developed the seven-mile Hudson Transmission Project at a cost of about $1 billion. The West Point transmission line, in which Anbaric is involved, is now in the development phase would be up to 100 miles long and run from Albany to near the Indian Point nuclear facility. The Poseidon project, for which the P.S.C. recently hosted a public hearing, would run approximately 80 miles from New Jersey to Long Island.
Anbaric, which is touted on a company website as a "co-founder of Viridity Energy," has aggressive plans for its New York microgrid business. The company wants to put a large microgrid in the Rockaways as well as at public buildings, hospitals and industrial properties around the state, including some that could provide up to 200 megawatts of power. Anbaric touts its microgrids as being tailored to fit the REV plan to remake the energy grid. To be successful, Anbaric says on its website that New York regulators must "create a regulatory environment in which it is reasonable for the Anbaric – Exelon alliance to make long-term infrastructure investments."
On an Anbaric website, the company boasts that it collaborates with Viridity on microgrids. Viridity "makes controls for microgrids," according to Anbaric.
A 15-megawatt microgrid recently completed on Riker's Island cost $122 million. The winners of a $40 million state microgrid competition now underway will "inform the REV process" by demonstrating the benefit of microgrids, according to a state press release. The state has already begun providing money for feasibility studies on where to site the microgrids.
And in 2011, under Zibelman, Viridity cut a deal with ConEdison Solutions —a subsidiary of the utility company Con Edison—on a large energy management project that allowed customers to better take advantage of price fluctuations in the energy markets. ConEdison Solutions also has a representative on the R.E.V. working group. A company spokesman did not return request for comment.
Some past P.S.C. appointees have ultimately not served on the commission because of the potential for conflicts.
A 2008 investigation by the state inspector general into the appointment of Angela Sparks-Beddoe as P.S.C. chair by then-governor Eliot Spitzer found that she had to recuse herself from matters involving her former employer and associated companies. Beddoe was a vice president at Energy East, an electric and gas provider regulated by the P.S.C., and was ultimately not appointed as chair. The report, citing state ethics law, found "a state employee must consider recusing herself on matters involving a prior employer or business relationship from the past two years."
Other recent commissioners have had some industry connections, and served without public incident, including Garry Brown, who stepped down earlier this year. Brown, an appointee of former governor Eliot Spitzer, was an executive at the New York State Independent System Operator, the nonprofit entity that operates the state's energy grid.
Gregg Sayre, a current commissioner, was previously a lawyer at the Frontier Communications Corporation.
Referring to the P.SC.'s history of members with deep ties to the utility industry they regulate, Common Cause executive director Susan Lerner said, "There is a complete lack of conflict of interest rules," she said, because state law allows regulators to meet behind closed doors with the industry they regulate before key decisions are made.
Lerner said that while the state needs people with expertise in a highly technical field, there are alternatives to appointing people with active ties to the industry, like recruiting from the ranks of academics, advocacy groups, lawyers and people with federal regulatory experience.
Occasionally, other states have reacted in response to ethical questions involving their top energy industry regulators, including a number in the past year. State and federal prosecutors are looking into close interactions between California's Public Utilities Commission and the utilities its members regulate. Florida lawmakers recently passed legislation to tighten what many see as the closeness between that state's Public Service Commission and utility companies. Arizona's top utility regulatory body is under scrutiny from watchdogs and media outlets for extensive texting with utility lobbyists.
Utility regulators need to project the perception they are treating issues fairly and would not be compromised by any previous work, said Janice Beecher, director of the Institute of Public Utilities at Michigan State University. Beecher, speaking generally and not specifically on Zibelman's case, said business experience can be valuable for a regulator, but also a liability if they have not distanced themselves from their previous work.
"You want a process that is fair and perceived as fair," she said. "You have to look the public in the eye and tell them the best you could."
There is no timeline for the P.S.C. to consider or approve R.E.V. projects or the transmission lines and microgrids. The commission's next monthly meeting is on June 17.

Rams vs. Bills odds, line, spread, predictions: 2022 NFL Kickoff Game picks from dialed-in model on 138-97 run
ByVisualast
The start of the NFL season is an unofficial American holiday, and the 2022 NFL Kickoff Game is upon us. The Buffalo Bills will visit the Los Angeles Rams in a blockbuster 2022 NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday night. The Rams are coming off a Super Bowl win, while the Bills are the preseason 2023 Super Bowl favorites at Caesars Sportsbook. Both teams feature top-tier quarterbacks, with Matthew Stafford leading the way for Los Angeles and Josh Allen, one of the top NFL MVP picks for this season, guiding the Bills. Both sides finished in the top 10 of scoring offense and defense in 2021, so it's a strength versus strength matchup in primetime.
Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET. Buffalo is a 2.5-point favorite in the latest Bills vs. Rams odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 52. Before making any Rams vs. Bills picks, make sure to check out the expert NFL predictions and betting advice from SportsLine's proven computer model.

Featured Game | Los Angeles Rams vs. Buffalo Bills
Why the Bills can cover
Buffalo may have exited last year's playoffs earlier than it hoped, but it also saw the emergence of a potential star. Second-year receiver Gabe Davis came up with a performance for the ages in the Bills' overtime loss to the Chiefs, making eight catches for a career-high 201 yards and postseason-record four touchdowns. The 23-year-old from UCF, who also hauled in a scoring pass in Buffalo's wild-card victory against New England, recorded 549 yards and six TDs in 16 games during the regular season.
With his effort versus Kansas City, Davis gives Josh Allen and the Bills' offense another dangerous weapon. The 26-year-old Allen, who threw nine TD passes and no interceptions in two games last postseason, already has formed strong bonds with wideout Stefon Diggs and tight end Dawson Knox. Diggs had 103 receptions for 1,225 yards and 10 scores while Knox registered career highs of 49 catches, 587 yards and nine touchdowns.
Why the Rams can cover
Stafford has been one of the NFL's most prolific passers over the past decade, but he found limited team success in Detroit. With a more talented surrounding cast, his play elevated in 2021, as he completed 67.2% of his passes for 4,886 yards, 41 touchdowns and 17 interceptions on the way to a Super Bowl title. Cooper Kupp is back after winning the receiving triple crown with 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. Stafford won't have Odell Beckham Jr. or Robert Woods this season, but the Rams brought in Allen Robinson to help lessen the attention defenses can pay to Kupp.
The Rams finished ninth in scoring defense last season, and that side of the ball has Pro Bowl players on all three levels. Aaron Donald anchors the front, while corner Jalen Ramsey is one of the league's best pass defenders. Los Angeles added to its embarrassment of riches by signing linebacker and six-time All-Pro Bobby Wagner from the division rival Seahawks in the offseason.
How to make Rams vs. Bills picks
SportsLine's model is leaning Under on the total, projecting the teams to combine for 49 points. It also says one side of the spread cashes in well over 50% of simulations. Head to SportsLine to see its NFL picks.
So who wins Bills vs. Rams in the NFL Kickoff Game 2022? And which side of the spread cashes well over 50% of the time? Visit SportsLine now to see the Bills vs. Rams picks, all from the model that has returned over $7,500 on top-rated NFL picks, and find out.

Михайлівська церква — двоповерховий православний міський мурований храм оборонного типу. Ким і коли побудована — достеменно невідомо. Припускають, що будування почалось у XV—XVI столітті

Історичні відомості
Відомо, що храм перебудований 1836 року. До цього у церкви було три дерев'яні куполи, після — на їхньому місці збудовано один камінний.

У 30-ті роки XX століття храм був закритий. Доля церковного майна невідома. З тих часів церква довгий час була у спустошеному вигляді, а його приміщенням користувались різні організації.

Сьогодні Святий Михайлівський храм відбудовано та відреставровано, систематично здійснюється богослужіння.

Miners, oil producers help FTSE 100 index close higher

London benchmark closes up 1%; Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds decline
LYG
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- British shares ended the first day of the new month on a positive note Monday, as gains for miners and oil producers offset losses from lenders Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group.
The U.K. FTSE 100 Index (UKX) rose 1%, or 51.70 points, to 5,096.25, paring some of the 1.8% loss recorded by the index on Friday.
Other European regional equity markets were also higher and U.S. stocks were gaining on Wall Street after a stronger-than-expected ISM reading for October. See Europe Markets.
The U.S. data follow some positive news on Britain's manufacturing sector, which saw an unexpectedly strong rise in activity in October. The CIPS/Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index rose to 53.7 from a revised reading of 49.9 in September.
"[The data] has provided some comfort to investors following the sharp slides seen on Friday," said David Jones, chief market strategist at IG Index.
In the commodity markets, gold futures climbed $21.40 to $1,061.80 an ounce and light sweet crude-oil futures rose $1.36 to $78.36 a barrel.
Miners were higher, in line with gains for metal futures, with Xstrata (XTA) shares up 4.4% and Vedanta Resources (VED) shares up 5%.
In the energy sector, oil producer BP (BP) BP, +0.19% advanced 2.2%.
"We recommend U.K. investors maintain an overweight position in energy given attractive valuations, sound balance sheets, good earnings momentum and the prospect of continued commodity price appreciation," said U.K. equity strategists at Morgan Stanley.
"Within the sector the prospect of increased volatility and uncertainty as we enter the tightening cycle should benefit big oil, while industry fundamentals continue to point to a favorable environment for small oil also," they said.
Companies they like in the energy sector include BP and natural gas firm BG Group (BG), up 1.9%.
RBS shares decline
However, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) shares fell 7.8% after the bank said that the European Commission will likely force it to sell more assets than originally planned.
RBS may have to sell several hundred branches along with its insurance operations, which include the Direct Line and Churchill car insurance brands.
Reports over the weekend indicated the bank may also have to shrink its investment banking division or sell its U.S.-based Citizens Financial arm. See full story.
Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) LYG, , in which the U.K. government also holds a substantial stake, fell 2.3%.
British Airways (BAY) shares fell 1.1%.
Over the weekend, the Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that the airline is seeking to cut another 140 million pounds ($230 million) from its cost base, in part by reducing staff meal subsidies. Cabin crew for the airline will hold a meeting on Monday to vote on a strike, according to the report.
British Airways reports results on Friday. It's expected to reveal a 250 million pound pre-tax loss, according to the report.
Outside the top index, shares of drugmaker SkyePharma (SKP) surged 22.3%.
It said that partner Mundipharma International Corp. completed the final Phase III study of flutiform, which is being developed to treat asthma. The higher-dose-strength study met its primary endpoints, SkyePharma said.
Shares of Dragon Oil (DGO) jumped 8.9% to 446 pence a share. The company said that it has agreed to a full takeover by Emirates National Oil Co., which already owns 51.5% of the firm.
Emirates National Oil Co. will pay 455 pence per share in cash for the Dragon Oil shares it doesn't already own, valuing the Irish gas-and-oil exploration and development firm at around 2.4 billion pounds ($3.9 billion). See full story.
However, property developer Quintain Estates (QED) fell 13.7%. It said it's considering issuing shares but hasn't made a formal decision.
Investors beware. It's the market relationship with data that may pivot when the Fed pauses, says Citi.
Bad news will become bad news again after the central stops raising interest rates.
