Former Texas Governor Rick Perry Vindicated at Last
February 25, 2016 by Mark Pulliam
Outrageous persecution by politicized Travis County D.A.'s office finally halted by Texas's highest criminal court.
Yesterday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals — the highest appellate court in Texas with criminal jurisdiction — dismissed felony charges brought against then-governor Rick Perry in August 2014. "Special prosecutor" Michael McCrum finagled a two-count indictment from a Travis County grand jury on the theory that Perry — the longest-serving governor in Texas history — engaged in illegal "coercion of a public servant" and "abuse of official capacity" when he threatened to, and did, veto $7.5 million in state funding for the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office, after Travis County D.A. Rosemary Lehmberg refused to resign in the wake of her highly-publicized drunk-driving arrest, during which she became so belligerent that she had to be restrained, and for which she served a jail sentence — while still in office! The Court of Criminal Appeals' excellent 6-2 decision, written by Presiding Judge Sharon Keller, has deservedly generated widespread news coverage both locally and nationwide (including today's Wall Street Journal and elsewhere).

Elizabeth Jane Howard, Slipstream: A Memoir , pp 142-3.
There was Peter Tranchell, another Cambridge friend. He turned up one afternoon - I'd never seen him before - and said, 'Is Wayland here?' I said no, he wasn't, but that he did come sometimes. 'All right, I'll wait.' And he did - for days.
He was a composer, and sat in my grandmother's huge chair enveloped in a mothy fur coat - the house was always cold - writing music. He introduced me to the works of the novelist Ronald Firbank, and the Russian/Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian. He was very funny and had a faintly devilish appearance. We called him Mephi, and he used to write me long, nonsensical letters in his large, sprawling hand. Sometimes the paper would be scorched and he would put 'pardon my enthusiasm' in the margin.
My grandfather's grand piano was still in the drawing room, and was much played, by Dosia, by Wayland, by Mephi, by me, and sometimes by Denis Matthews when he came on leave.

5 valuable pieces of art that were found quite by accident
When by chance (or not quite) people find a picture of a famous artist, a manuscript or diaries of a famous writer, then this event is covered by all the world's media. After all, a find can cost millions of dollars. It often happened that valuable artifacts were found in private collections, in hiding places and even in storage rooms. But in this review, "a dozen" of valuable finds, which were made in the most unexpected places.
1. Nazi treasure in a tiny apartment
In 2012, police discovered a collection of more than 1,300 works of art in a small apartment in Munich. Most of the work was considered destroyed during the Nazi rule in Germany. The collection belonged to an art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt, who during the Second World War used his position as an intermediary in the sale of works of art abroad to hide and sell a huge number of paintings.
The works, most of which appear to have been legally acquired, were inherited by his son Cornelius Gurlit. Cornelius kept most of the works of art in his small apartment, selling them only when he needed money. After his death in May 2014, most of the works of art went to the museum in Switzerland.
The police made the discovery after Cornelius was detained on a train, and with him they found 9,000 euros. Given that he was unemployed, the tax authorities received a warrant to search his apartment. During the search and found this treasure.
2. Painting in the sofa
In 2007, a German student in Berlin bought a couch at a flea market. When she laid out the sofa at home, she found a small oil painting in the inner drawer. It turned out that it was a canvas entitled "Preparing to Flee to Egypt" by an unknown author (although it is believed that the artist was close to the Venetian painter Carlo Saraceni). The painting was painted between 1605 and 1620.
Subsequently, "Preparing to Flee to Egypt" was purchased at auction in Hamburg by an anonymous buyer for $ 27,630, which brought the student 100 times more money than she paid for the sofa.
3. Painting Tamayo in a pile of garbage
A resident of New York, who was walking along Manhattan in 2003, accidentally noticed a picture lying in a garbage can. Elizabeth Gibson did not know anything about modern art, but she liked the picture, and she took it home. A woman for 4 years trying to find out what kind of canvas, until she finally saw the site on which it was mentioned at the exhibition Antiques Roadshow.
The painting was made by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo, who died in 1991. The work "Three Characters" was written in 1970 and previously belonged to an anonymous collector from Houston. It was stolen during the move, and has since been considered lost. Upon learning of this, Elizabeth brought him to Sotheby's, where she received a reward from the owner in the amount of $ 15,000 for his search, as well as a reward from the auction house (its size was not disclosed).
4. Golden Buddha inside the statue
A giant Buddha statue, 4.8 meters high and weighing about 5.5 tons, dating from the XIII or XIV century, was taken to various temples for many years before it finally settled in Wat Trimita in Thailand. This temple was not large enough for a huge sculpture to fit inside, so it was placed outside, under a tin roof.
In 1954, the temple was expanded, and the statue decided to move inside, but at the same time it was accidentally dropped on the floor. Workers found that the plaster was partially chipped at one of the corners of the statue, and metal glittered beneath it. After careful removal of the rest of the plaster, it was found that the statue is actually made of gold.
At some point in the past, the statue was covered with plaster and painted. Scientists have suggested that this was done specifically against thefts in order to hide the real value of the statue. Over time, people have forgotten about the golden sculpture under the plaster, believing that this is just another ordinary statue.
5. Jackson Pollock painting at the thrift store
In the 1990s, former truck driver Teri Horton walked into a thrift store and saw a strange picture there. After a bit of bargaining, she hit the price from $ 7 to $ 5 and bought a canvas, intending to donate it to a friend. However, an acquaintance art teacher, who came to visit her, accidentally noticed a picture and her unique style, and considered that this could be the work of Jackson Pollock.
Naturally, Horton wanted to verify the authenticity of the painting. Experts of auction houses refused to do this, so she turned to the forensic scientist, who checked the authenticity of the work, based on fingerprinting data. Despite the intense debate over whether the picture is authentic (although the prints on it coincided with those of Pollock), Teri Horton has already received many suggestions, and now the picture that is on display in the Toronto Gallery is estimated at 50 million dollars.

Діаграма композитної структури у Unified Modeling Language (UML) є типом статичної структурної діаграми, що показує внутрішню структуру класу.

Ця діаграма може містити внутрішні частини, порти, через які частини класу взаємодіють між собою або як сутності класу взаємодіють з частинами класу та зовнішнім світом, і з'єднувачі між частинами або портами. Композитна структура являє собою сукупність взаємопов'язаних елементів, які взаємодіють між собою під час виконання для досягнення якоїсь мети. Кожен елемент має певну роль в цій взаємодії.

Концепти композитної структури
Ключовими поняттям композитної структури у UML 2.0 є: структуровані класифікатори, частини, порти, з'єднувачі та взаємодія.
 Частина :  Частина представляє роль під час виконання одної сутності класифікатора або колекції сутностей. Частина може назвати тільки роль, абстрактний суперклас, або конкретний конкретний клас.
 Порт :  Порт є точкою взаємодії, яка може бути використаною для з'єднання структурованих класифікаторів з їх частинами та з навколишнім середовищем. Порти можуть додатково вказати ті сервіси, які вони надають і сервіси, які вони вимагають від інших частин системи. На діаграмі, кожен з маленьких квадратиків є портом. Кожен порт має тип і позначений з ім'ям, наприклад, "var", "indVar1", або "view" на діаграмі.

 З'єднувач:  З'єднувач пов'язує два або більше об'єктів разом, дозволяючи їм взаємодіяти під час виконання. З'єднувач показаний у вигляді лінії між деякою комбінацією частин, портів і структурованих класифікаторів.
 Взаємодія: Взаємодія, як правило, більш абстрактна, ніж структурований класифікатор. На діаграмі відображається, як пунктирний овал, що містить ролі, які можуть мати сутності у взаємодії
 Структурований класифікатор: Структурований класифікатор - це клас, часто абстрактний клас, чия поведінка може бути повністю або частково описаною через взаємодію між частинами.
 Інкапсульований класифікатор: Інкапсульований класифікатор є типом структурованого класифікатора, який містить порти.

Приклад діаграми композитної структури

 Як приклад розглянемо один з можливих способів моделювання послідовності Фібоначчі.

Ця діаграма композитної структури показує, що екземпляри класу в 'FibonacciSystem' складаються з декількох частин. Самий верхній з цих частин визначені як класифікатор 'FibonacciFunction'. Три з частин визначаються тією роллю, яку вони відіграють у випадках FibonacciSystem - роль NMinus2, роль NMinus1, і роль N. П'ята частина, визначена своїм класифікатором Viewer, може включати в себе специфікації кратності. Під час виконання може бути 0 або більше екземплярів Viewer, або деякий конкретний підклас Viewer.

Під час виконання екземпляри класів, які реалізують ці три ролі повинні надавати сервіси, зазначені в інтерфейсі IVar через свої порти var. Одним з таких класів є Variable, як показано на схемі з портом var типу Var, що реалізує інтерфейс IVar.

Порт під назвою "view" є непублічним портом, який може бути використаний екземпляром FibonacciSystem для доступу до додаткового екземпляру Viewer.

A service that a bank provides in which is processes payments for a company. The company directs its customers to send payments to a lockbox at the bank, whose employees then collect the payments and deposit them directly into the company's account. A lockbox reduces time between the receipt and processing of payments, which can be beneficial for the company using the service. On the other hand, it opens the possibility of fraud by bank employees, who could theoretically steal the payments by taking the funds from the payments and not depositing them.
(1) A special box placed on the door of homes listed for sale, with a key to the property inside the box.The box is accessed via a code or a key,available only to licensed real estate agents.
(2) An arrangement whereby customers of a business send their payments to a PO box which is actually controlled by the business's lender rather than the business.The lender takes all receipts, pays itself any loan payments and fees,and then remits the balance to the business.
Offering superior security, the lockbox operates the same way as Solar Innovations[R] three-point locks, through the flipping of the handle up to set the throwbolts and then locking the key or thumbturn.
Using off-the-shelf scanners and a desktop computer, customers can capture images of cheques as well as attached documents, including remittance slips, invoices and hand-written notes, and submit them electronically to the lockbox for processing without leaving their offices.
The company's remote lockbox solution allows banks and other companies to scan checks and any associated remittance documents remotely from their offices as an alternative to mailing them to the lockbox site.
YRC Worldwide uses a bank lockbox for check payments.
The typical lockbox, it just doesn't work, because agents take the keys and do not return them," he said.
The fact is we do have these third-party alternatives to reduce or eliminate lockbox or even enhance it if you want to take a shot at using that [as an option].
Boxed in or busting out: will lockboxes soon be phased out with technological advances or is it too ingrained?
It's important for lockbox parents to realize these financial requests are rarely small.
Can you meet the 'lockbox' challenge?
The new ReaderKEY2 handheld device connects to a computer through a USB cable and uploads real estate showing activities to the ORIONWeb database for online reporting, without the need to read the lockbox directly.
Once full production began at the diecasting facility, the lockbox firm sold more than 100,000 units.
Once assembled, the lockbox measures 10" x 5" x 2-1/2".
More than pounds 9m has been raised since the appeal was launched a week ago, with nearly all of the donations being processed at Lockbox ISPL.
Lockbox banks are commercial banks that process certain taxpayer receipts on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Irish Film Distributors Association launches #LoveCinema campaign
Are you missing the big screen? You're not alone… Irish people visit the cinema more than any other nationality in Europe & we're sure you can't wait to return to your local cinema to check out the latest releases. To help promote the magic of the movies the Irish Film Distributors Association with Cinema First today launched a new campaign called #Lovecinema, designed to capture the attention of audiences across the country and remind them of the unique experience that only the big screen can offer.
The #Lovecinema campaign celebrates the nation's love of cinema, a central part of our community and the most accessible and popular form of ticketed cultural entertainment in Ireland and the UK.
At the heart of the campaign is a cinematic montage created by Empire Design which celebrates the wonder of cinema, stories that have captured our imaginations, shaped memories, moved us to tears, made us laugh, and opened our eyes to alternative worlds.
The montage featuring over 50 films pays tribute to some of the most memorable moments from cinema history including the ground-breaking cultural treasure The Wizard of Oz, winner of 11 Oscars Ben Hur, number one on the IMDb poll of greatest films ever made The Shawshank Redemption, the timeless musical classic My Fair Lady and the iconic underdog crowd-pleaser Rocky.
It also teases the most anticipated films hitting screens this year, including Christopher Nolan's espionage thriller Tenet, Daniel Craig in his final outing as James Bond in No Time to Die, Gal Gadot reprising her iconic superhero role in Wonder Woman 1984, Marvel's Black Widow starring Scarlett Johansson and Denis Villeneuve's hotly awaited adaptation of the evolutionary sci-fi epic Dune starring Timothée Chalamet.
The campaign will also set out to remind the public about the safety measures cinemas have put in place to help ensure the safety of cinema-goers and cinema staff.
Watch the montage below
The trailer will play out on film distributors' and cinema operators' own websites and social channels, as well as being supported by the wider media and film community.
In a regular audience survey undertaken on behalf of the industry by MetrixLab (June 2020), cinemagoing has been repeatedly highlighted as the third most missed out-of-home activity during the lockdown, with audiences favouring the unique big-screen spectacle and wonderfully immersive experience that only cinema can offer. Irish people visit the cinema more than any other country in Europe with an average attendance of 3.3 visits per annum (Wide Eye Media, 2018) with over 18,000 people employed in the Cinema, Film and TV Sector sector (Irish Industry Trust).
Talking about the launch of the campaign Nick Costello, GM of Universal Pictures Ireland and IFDA member commented "We are delighted to join our UK colleagues to launch the #Lovecinema campaign in Ireland. Irish people love films and the cinemagoing experience more than any other in Europe and we are very excited to join them back in front of the silver screen."
See you back at the cinema!

Event Description In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it's high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they've lost through the years.
Randa, a perfectionist and workaholic, is struggling to cope with a surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how to get one. Dot, still reeling from her husband's recent demise and the loss of their plans for an idyllic retirement, faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch—and all alone. Earthy and boisterous Marlafaye, a good ol' Texas gal, has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin' husband to a twenty-three-year-old dental hygienist. Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire, offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women.
Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment—and most importantly, realize it's never too late to make new old friends.

Regularization parameter selections via generalized information criterion
Yiyun Zhang, Runze Li, Chih Ling Tsai
Department of Public Health Sciences
Center for Statistical Genetics
Penn State Cancer Institute
Cancer Institute, Cancer Control
We apply the nonconcave penalized likelihood approach to obtain variable selections as well as shrinkage estimators. This approach relies heavily on the choice of regularization parameter, which controls the model complexity.

The Threetles
Band Of The Month June 2019
About This Act
An increasingly inaccurately named, numerically challenged, four and sometimes five man Beatles celebration band that don't wear wigs.
Friday, June 21st 2019 from 19:00-02:00
Whittles, 27 King Street, Oldham OL8 1DP
£5 plus booking fee available from Eventbrite
The Threetles are Paul Brierley, Thomas Jones, Andy Housley and Simon McGoran also featuring Andy 'Billy' Preston.
Formed in 2013, The Threetles have played to packed houses across the North West to great acclaim.
This celebration band play a huge array of Beatles numbers spanning their entire career. In addition, they have been known to perform albums in their entirety, including the epic "White Album"
Watch The Threetles
A full half hour of The Threetles, live in Uppermill.
As our featured "Band Of The Month" for June, we caught up with Paul for a quick chat:
Whittles: Thanks for talking to us guys. Could you start by taking us through what inspired you to start a Beatles celebration band?
I've been a musician since 1971 and played in dozens of bands. Groups would always include Beatles tunes in their repertoire, usually just the hits and well known album tracks.
Having said that one of my early bands "Fleece" who were formed in 1972 performed the second side of "Abbey Road" in local pubs and clubs. This had never been done before to our knowledge so I suppose that's were the term "a Beatles band" was coined. Still to this day we call ourselves a Beatles band and not a tribute. The title "Tribute" came along with TV shows like Stars In Their Eyes, where acts would dress and look like the people they were copying.
The Threetles were formed in 2012 when Tom and Andy were playing in an open mic night. I walked in, joined in and we became the Threetles. As time went by we acquired Simon on drums and another Andy on keys. Simon and I were in a previous Beatles band called The Semolina Pilchards. There was ten of us in that band and we did a lot of solo Wings stuff hence our brass section.
So there's no real inspiration, just a life long love of the fabs music .
Whittles: Do you all have day jobs and are you in any other bands?
Yes, we all have days jobs ranging from GP,s to drum shop manager. I am a sound engineer now after being a pro bass player for 40 years.
Whittles: You often play Beatles albums in their entirety live. Which has been the most challenging to learn and which has been the most fun to play?
We like to mark the 50 years since something was released or happened. It started in February 2013 when we re-staged the Beatles playing at the Astoria, which is just across the road from Whittles.
Tuesday February 13th was the day in 1963 that beatlemania was born. 1000's of Oldham teenagers tried to get in to see the fabs play. They had just driven up from London Abbey Road having recorded in 12 hours their first album Please Please Me
.John Lennon had a really bad cold and had lost his voice hence he hardly sang at the Oldham gig. We copied their set list as best as we could and even had the original DJ from the night Tony Prince. There were also many people that came who were there on the night in 1963. We raised nearly £3000 for Dr Kershaws that night.
The next time we did a 50th anniversary was for the album "Rubber Soul" in 2015. A year later it was "Revolver" then "Sgt Pepper" and most recently the "White Album".
All of the Beatles songs are hard to replicate if you want to get them just right as their production techniques were incredible. We spent many many hours getting things as close as possible, some with great success. They are all tricky in their own way so it's hard to pick one out really.
"We were dead chuffed at being called a boy band as our collective age must be 270 years"
Whittles: You once shared a stage with the fifth Beatle, Pete Best. What was that like? Did you get to meet him?
Pete Best was fab. Boy does he have stories to tell, or not! He s very tight lipped on the subject of him leaving the Beatles saying, "I'll leave you to make your own minds up".
He was a really nice chap, we were with him and his brother Roag the whole day having a right laugh, he thought we were great . At this event we also met Freda Kelly who was the fan club secretary and later Brian Epstein's personal secretary.
Freda has become a close friend of us all and has attended many of our gigs, she's another one who was in the inner circle of the fabs.
Whittles: Which Beatle's solo efforts do you prefer?
I like Macca's solo stuff. Right from his first album, McCartney, through Wings and onto his live performances. Of course I hold John and George's stuff in the same high regard as proved by us covering probably more of their material than Paul's.
Whittles: Could you tells us about the "Deafened Delpher"?
Will the real deafened delpher please stand up?
We were playing a small festival in Delph a few years back. Party in the park. All was well, or so we thought. To our surprise, a letter had been sent to the Oldham Chronicle stating that, "a boy band with their amps no doubt turned up to 11 were disturbing the peace of the village"
We were dead chuffed at being called a boy band as our collective age must be 270 years!
We never found out who he or she was.
"Their production techniques were incredible"
Whittles: How likely are we to see the Threetles play a rooftop gig in the future?
We missed doing the rooftop gig because I was in the middle of a 45 date UK tour. Shame really cos we had planned to do it somewhere, possibly in Manchester, maybe even get the police to come and turn us off.
The Threetles are doing an interesting gig on August bank holiday Sunday at the Casbah club in Liverpool, it's where the Beatles played their first gig in 1960 I think. It's quite an honour to be invited to do this gig, we may also be appearing at the Beatle week fest in Liverpool.
Will we do a rooftop gig in the future? Very likely I reckon, don't know where yet but we'll let you know.
Whittles: Finally, do you have a message for the Whittles crowd?
We 're really looking forward to playing at Whittles again in June. It comes in a batch of gigs for us which is unusual as we normally only do around 6 gigs a year so we should be on form.
We like it when people challenge us to play obscure tracks, we haven't been caught out yet so let's see what the Whittles crowd can come up with.
Reckon the sitar and tablas will be making an appearance in June too. Hope to see a full house for a sing along, see ya, Paul.
THE THREETLES PLAY WHITTLES ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21ST
Check out our full gig listings. We have a wide range of music on offer so there's always something to take your fancy.

Why Livestock Insurance Is yet to Take off in Rural India
Under the National Livestock Mission, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have not insured a single animal in the last four years.
The animal insurance scheme is optional, which is the foremost reason for its failure. Credit: Reuters

One of the great success stories of rural India is its dairy sector. This is where resource-poor, small and marginal farmers, as well as landless labourers, have contributed to make the country the largest milk producer in the world. In 2017-18, India produced 176.35 million tonnes of milk.
The value of milk in money terms now exceeds the value of wheat and rice taken together. While the Narendra Modi government's crop insurance scheme has received a lot of attention, the risk coverage of milch animals continues to be largely ignored. This even though their owners suffer as much loss in a calamity like a flood or drought as farmers suffer due to loss of crop.
In Kerala alone, 75,857 cattle are reported to have died due to floods and landslides in August 2018.
Under State Disaster Relief Fund guidelines, the assistance of Rs 30,000 is provided for replacement of a cow, buffalo or camel and Rs 3000 for a sheep, goat or pig. The actual cost of replacement of milch animals is 2-3 times this amount.
Insurance companies have been operating schemes for providing cover to indigenous, exotic or cross-bred milch cows or buffaloes, calves/heifers, stud bulls, bullocks (castrated bulls) and castrated male buffaloes.

The sum insured under the policy is the market value of the animal. The basic premium rate per annum is up to 4% of the sum insured.
The insurance policy provides coverage for death due to:
Accident (Inclusive of fire, lightning, flood, inundation, storm, hurricane, earthquake, cyclone, tornado, tempest and famine)
Diseases contracted or occurring during the period of this policy
Riot and strike
Since May 2014, the Centre has been implementing risk management and insurance scheme in all the districts of India for all animals including non-milch ones.
Under this scheme, 50% subsidy is provided on insurance premium – but it is restricted to five animals per beneficiary per household for all animals except sheep, goat, pig and rabbit. In the case of these four, a subsidy is available for 50 animals. The proposal for insurance is to be accompanied by a health certificate from a veterinarian giving age, identification marks, health status and market value of the animal.
At the time of claim, most companies require a death certificate from a qualified veterinarian, post-mortem examination report and radio-frequency identification chip, which is inserted in the front left leg at the time of insuring the animal.
Despite attractive terms, the insurance scheme for animals has not taken off. As per the reply given in Lok Sabha on March 13, 2018, in 2014-15, 14.80 lakh animals were insured. The number came down to 7.65 lakh in 2015-16 and 7.44 lakh in 2016-17.
While 2.97 lakh animals were insured in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu insured 2.02 lakh animals.
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, which have witnessed most cases of cow-related violence in the last four years, did not insure a single animal.
As per Census 2012, there were 122.9 million cows and 92.5 million female buffaloes in the country. While we do not have the break-up of animals insured for each species, we can assume that most of the insured animals would be cows or buffaloes. It is clear that the number is less than miniscule.

In case of crop insurance under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, one of the criticisms is that the scheme is compulsory for loanee farmers (for crops notified by a state government) and banks deduct the premium from the farmers' Kisan Credit Card account.
On the other hand, the animal insurance scheme is optional and that is the foremost reason for its failure. Banks are not involved in livestock insurance and due to a lack of awareness and the procedure required to purchase insurance, few farmers bother to insure their animals.

For an insurance scheme to succeed, large numbers of buyers of insurance product are needed, who then support the few whose claims become payable. This keeps the premiums low for everyone. Unlike crop insurance, the individual assessment of loss is required in livestock insurance. Insurance companies must be finding it highly expensive to reach out to a large number of small and marginal farmers who rear a few animals.
If the crop insurance scheme is also made optional and each farmer is asked to purchase insurance, it will possibly meet a similar fate as livestock insurance. The number of farmers may drastically go down and the actuarial premiums may actually go up substantially from current levels. Even in the case of tractors and motorcycles, it seems that few owners bother to renew even third-party insurance after the first year (Insurance in the first year is compulsory for registration and banks also insist on this while sanctioning loan).
So, in order to provide risk coverage to farmers rearing animals, especially in flood-prone states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Bihar and east Uttar Pradesh, the coverage of livestock needs to be substantially expanded.
Animal husbandry provides supplementary income to small and marginal farmers and it employs women in large numbers. Providing insurance coverage can protect them from losses in calamities. State governments and insurance companies need to do much more to popularise animal insurance products. If the flood-hit farmers of Kerala had taken animal insurance, they would have been able to minimise their losses.
While livestock insurance stagnates, it is possible that as a farmer-friendly measure in the run-up to parliament election, the government may ask farmers just to pay a token amount of Rs 1 per acre for crop insurance. A similar push for livestock insurance may also be in order.

BLM protestors are the real American patriots | COMMENTARY
Maryland an ethics 'model,' professor says
By By Michael Dresser and The Baltimore Sun
While many Marylanders might consider their state a hotbed of political corruption, a leading expert on state government told lawmakers Friday that the Free State is a "model" for other states in its ethical standards.
Alan Rosenthal, a political science professor at Rutgers University in New Jersey, told the Senate's Special Committee on Ethics Reform that in spite of the impression left by scandals such as the one that led to the censure last month of Sen. Ulysses Currie, the Maryland General Assembly does a better job of policing its members' conduct that many other state legislatures.
"This is the state I would hold up or the legislature I would hold up as a model," said Rosenthal, who added that he has been tracking Maryland's progress on ethical issues since the Mandel administration.
Rosenthal said the many legislatures in the country would have taken no action against a senator who had been acquitted of criminal charges, as Currie was in a federal bribery-extortion trial last year. The educator credited legislative leaders with pursuing the ethics case against Currie based on information that came to light during the trial. After the acquittal, where Currie's defense admitted the senator violated ethics rules by failing to disclose outside income, Senate PresidentThomas V. Mike Millerreferred the case to the Assembly's Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics -- the panel that recommended the censure and other sanctions against thePrince George's CountyDemocrat.
Miller also created the special committee and named Sen. Jamie Raskin, a Montgomery County Democrat, to chair it.
"In Maryland, leadership has taken the hard road," Rosenthal told the committee. "The leaders have done their job in terms of ethics."
Rosenthal said that for the most part Maryland has a strong set of ethics laws. In particular, he praised Maryland's creation of the post of ethics adviser to the General Assembly -- a confidential counselor to whom members can bring questions about what is considered proper behavior. He said his home state of New Jersey has copied that innovation but has not implemented it as effectively.
"It works here because of the culture of the legislature," he said. "Maybe there are a few legislatures where it doesn't work."
William Somerville, the ethics counsel, told the panel he has had a "robust response" to his standing offer to meet with legislators to review ethical issues in the wake of the Currie scandal.
"It puts the fear of God in a lot of people," said Raskin.
Miller said Friday that he hope to see additional safeguards enacted.
"What we do need to do is put rules in place so that future generations will recognize that this is a fair process and an that this needs to be done," he said. "Because right now we're kind of flying by the seat of our pants every time an issue comes up."
Rosenthal's presentation came as the committee wrapped up its business for this year without calling for any legislation beyond the two it previously proposed. One measure would put online ethics disclosure forms that currently can be viewed only by visiting the State Ethics Commission in Annapolis. Another would loosen the disclosure requirements for certain municipal offices that generally pay little. Both were up for hearings Friday afternoon.
Maryland Policy & Politics Newsletter
Keep up to date with Maryland politics, elections and important decisions made by federal, state and local government officials.
Raskin said the committee would continue to meet after the session to develop additional proposals for next year.
Rosenthal said disclosure laws can deter good candidates from seeking some small town offices.
"The politics itself is offsetting enough today," he said. "it's a wonder that anyone runs for office."
But in general, Rosenthal endorsed strong disclosure legislation.
"Generally I think disclosure laws are an intrusion on the privacy of elected officials," he said. "Today it's a necessary intrusion."
While Maryland's ethics laws may be a model for other states, the people it puts in office have not always displayed model behavior. In addition to Currie, several other Maryland elected officials have landed in serious ethical trouble over the past decade. They include former Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson, jailed for seven years on federal corruption charges; former Sen. Thomas Bromwell, now in federal prison in a bribery-extortion case and former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, convicted of theft and forced out of office. All were elected as Democrats.

The scrimshaw collection includes over a hundred carved or etched bone items such as thimbles, needle and pin cases, figurines, crochet hooks, pie crimpers, glove stretchers, cribbage boards, handles for various items such as umbrellas, flat panels with pictures, walking sticks, sailor's fids, pipes, watch stands, dice and drinking cups, powder horns, dominoes, button hooks, dice, toothbrushes, shoe horns, spatulas, a manicure set, and stockwhip handle. Scrimshaw is produced by engraving, carving, inlaying or assembling bone mainly from marine mammals. Walrus tusks, dolphin and pilot whale jaw bones and other animal bone were used, though sometimes ivory or shells. The most common form of scrimshaw and best represented in this collection are sperm whale teeth. Many are finely decorated with images of women, whaling scenes or other memories from home.
To pass the time on long sea voyages of often several years, sailors on whaling vessels would craft presents for friends and family, souvenirs or momentos and sometimes scrimshaw to sell. They carved functional items from whale bone or engraved artistic designs on whale teeth, often reflecting scenes of their everyday life or memories from home. Sailors commonly made a variety of items relating to domestic sewing including needles, bobbins, fids, crochet hooks and needle cases, mostly as presents for female loved ones. The collection includes articles from North American whalers, where scrimshaw originated and was most common. Australian provenanced items are rare. Several are included in the Liddy scrimshaw collection, which forms a major part of the collection.

ADA Introduces Health Literacy Plan in National Forum
by Academy of Dental Assisting | Nov 19, 2010 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
Washington—The Association introduced a strategic action plan to improve health literacy in dentistry Nov. 16 at a forum co-hosted by the ADA, American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics.
The plan developed by the ADA Council on Access, Prevention and Interprofessional Relations and introduced by Dr. A.J. Smith, ADA first vice president, defines health literacy in dentistry as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate oral health decisions."
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Hispanic Dental Association and National Dental Association also participated in the meeting at the American Medical Association offices on Capitol Hill.
"I don't want to see the enthusiasm we've seen at this meeting lost," Dr. Smith said in wrapping up this initial forum of leading professional and public health groups interested in improving health literacy. "We need to be partnering with all of you, and we need to keep this group going."
A Department of Health and Human Services senior official, Howard Koh, M.D., M.P.H., assistant secretary for health, summarized a national action plan to improve health literacy released earlier this year by the HHS Office of the Secretary and invited feedback "from your organizations on what works and what works well."
CAPIR and its ad hoc advisory committee on health literacy in dentistry developed the strategic action plan as a set of principles, goals and, in some cases, specific strategies to provide guidance to the Association and its councils and commissions, dental professionals, policy makers and others to improve health literacy.
The ADA action plan identifies five strategic focus areas for the improvement of health literacy:
* Training and education;
* Advocacy;
* Research;
* Dental practice;
* Building coalitions (increase collaborations).
"The council realizes that these activities will require resources, financial and human, and believes the strategies should be viewed as suggested tasks to improve health literacy and not a prescriptive 'to do' list," the ADA plan says.

Harriet the Invincible
Vernon, Ursula

I love recommending this book to kids looking to expand beyond graphic novels. This book has some pictures in it along with the chapters. It's really funny and part of a series, pick it up and enjoy!

It was awesome! I think that it was a great copy of Sleeping Beauty in a more funny way. 😃

Harriet Hamsterbone is possibly the best fictional princess ever created. Vernon's writing is gold, and her cartooning is absolutely perfect here. I wish I'd read this aloud with our 8yo son, because acting out all the characters (and the narrator, who has much personality) would have been so fun. Instead, I shoved it into his hands right after I finished it and demanded he read it IMMEDIATELY. When he was done, we did the same thing to his father.
What's it about? Cursed as a baby, Harriet is fated to prick herself on a hamster wheel at age 12 and fall into a sleep from which she will never awaken. Except for the loopholes some fairy god-mice tacked on after the fact. And as Harriet realizes at age 10, the logic of the curse means she's invincible until her 12th birthday. So what's an invincible hamster princess to do? Cliff-diving, dragon-slaying, and pro jousting, of course! With her riding quail Mumfrey, she adventures across the land for two years, indulging in both her love for beating things up and her passion for fractions. ("Dear Mom and Dad, I've searched 12/32nds of the Swamp of Sorrow...") When the fateful day arrives, Harriet manages to throw a gear in the evil fairy's plan, but the results aren't what she'd hoped. Now she must set forth on a quest to save her parents.
Yes, yes, and yes. That's what I have to say about this!

When 10-year-old Harriet is told by her parents that she was cursed as an infant to become (basically) Sleeping Beauty on her 12th birthday, she sees an upside that no one else has realized: she is guaranteed to live until her 12th birthday, making her invincible. She immediately begins two years of diving off cliffs, fighting monsters, and enjoying every perilous adventure she can imagine. Of course, that's just the start of the adventure, because there is still a curse and a wicked fairy god-mouse to deal with. She won't always be invincible, and will have to learn how to defeat her enemies while facing true danger.
This delightfully and uproariously turns all sorts of conventions on their heads, from fairy tale to feminist, with wonderful illustrations and laughs on every page. It's longer and deeper than might be expected at a glance, and is loads of fun.

Amazing! I love all of Ursula Vernon's work, but this retelling of Sleeping Beauty is so great! It's snarky and heartfelt and has a mainsplaining hamster prince (!!!) who is rejected as a love interest. Actually, there's no "love interest" because the main character is 12 and she doesn't want a betrothed. This series is delightful, and I can't recommend it enough!

Princess Harriet is fun, capable and fabulous. Yay!

A new series-starter that combines a spunky princess heroine, some (fractured) fairy tale conventions, and the graphic/hybrid format that's currently so popular. I read it aloud with my own kids and we all liked it a lot.

You are given a start of the code, which you must finish. You can get the start from Github here . Download the files, start s new project to NetBeans, and add the files to the NetBeans project.
The goal of this lab is to use classes and objects to create a program to play Blackjack (21). A start of the program is given below, you must continue this program to complete the game.
Card - This is a single card with a suit and a rank (which is a given card's "state". The suit and rank are represented by the enum types (also in the code). The rank enum is design with "ACE=1" which allows for easy conversion between the rank and the integer value of the card. The methods on a card are Card(...) (the contructors) and CardName(...) and CardValue(...)which return the value of the card.
Hand - This is essentually an arbitary group of playable cards. It contains zero or more Card objects (stored in a vector). The Hand class has the Hand() construct to create the (empty) hand, Add(...) to add a card to that hand, bool Wins() to tell you if the player wins by hitting 21, a Clear() to empty the hand, a GetCardList() to get a list of the card in the hand, and a GetTotal() to get the total value of the hand. Note that there are two hands - one for the house, and one for the player.
Deck - This is similar ot the hand in that it is a set of cards. It is different in that it had (hidden inside) a pool of 52 cards from which it creates a deck which gets played from. As you play from the deck it gets smaller, until it is empty. WHen it is empty you will need to reinitialize the Deck to 52 cards. The deck includes the Deck() constructer, the clear() and GetCardList() (like the hand's member functions), the Populate() to remake a new deck of 52 card (from the pool), a Shuffle to randomize the deck, a Deal to remove the top card from the deck and return it.
These classes are incomplete, as is the main.cpp coude. In addition, you will need to add a new class (and associated files) for a game class to keep track of the numbers of wins, loses, and pushes (ties). The Game class should merely keep counters for player, house, and pushes, and have methods for incrementing these. Then it should have a displayScore() function to show the current score.
Note that as you play the cards in the deck get used up. This is normal. You will need to come up with a better plan on what to do when the deck runs out, and implement it. This may require modifying and even adding new member functions to the existing object classes.
This is a multi-file solution. There are actually 7 files in what I give you. You will need to create these files in the project. You will also need to create and add two more for the game class. Below is a picture of what the files will look like in your project.
You will need to right click on the "Source Files" directory, and pick New->C++ Class ... to create the .cpp and .h files in the right directories. Then you will need to replace the default content with the files listed below.
Plays the house agains a single player.
Allow the user to continue to play again, drawing from the same (shrinking) deck, until the deck is empty.
You may offer the user the chance to restart the deck when done.
// returns a list of current cards hand.
// Need to write, currently always busted.
// needs to be smart, the ACE is 11 or 1, whichever gets you closer to 21 without going over.
// create a string list of all the cards in this deck.
vector <Card> Cards;  // Used to store a list of current cards in Deck.
// and will report the score when asked.
// first card gets shown, second hid until end.
Welcome to Blackjack! Have fun playing!
If the House busts (goes over), you win.
Player wins with a higher count!
Player wins with a perfect 21!
Player busted so house wins.
House wins with a higher count.
Out of cards, Unable to deal.

Q: HP DL380g6 server with graphic card powered by external psu I have an old HP dl380 g6 server and I need to use it for renderings but I have one problem, some of servers don't have 6/8 pin power outs for graphic cards, mine don't have it too.
With that in mind I bought a saphire 5450 low profile (no power pins) just for high quality remote and openGL required apps. But the 5450 didn't make it a week, I send I for warranty and if new replacement have same problem I'm in a big trouble.
Here is problem - I have to buy a new graphic card gtx 650 this card have 6pin power pin my concern is the power supply for this card.
My plan is to buy a 250-350w psu but how sync the server boot and external psu start ups. In pc you can short the psu from the motherboard in servers I don't know how to do it?
So guys if any body have knowledge in this area please help.
I find an empty 10pin power out on servers MB for hot plug hards and raid controler. Is that possible tho get power from that for graphic card.

A: First of all, I would not start to mess with powersupply cabling. I have done it and been fine, but it was a modular PSU and fortunately, Corsair sent me spares.
Desktop graphics cards are built for short-ish bursts of high usage. Running one in a server which is built for 24/7 usage is a bad idea.
I would look at getting a professional graphics card, such as an AMD Fire Pro line card. These are designed more for heavy, long term workloads.
Regarding using the 10pin, I could not find a reference to it in the HP manuals for the server. I don't fancy cracking open the 2 at work to find it either!
As it is a desktop PSU that you would be looking to use, you could always connect the wires that signal the PSU should spin up to a SPST switch and throw that just before booting the server. It is not ideal but neither is starting to "hotwire" server grade hardware.

A: HP can supply a 10pin Molex MiniFitJnr to 6pin MFJ cable for GPU use in a G6, it is a standard item, ask your HP vendor, I would say build one your self (£5 in parts) but just get the proper thing for the job.
The HP cables uses a 7 wire topology to the 6 pin so I guess it does V sense thing, best leave that alone for DIY use.
