Find your new favourite ciders!
Ciders are one of the most popular alcoholic drinks in the world and they are quickly becoming a popular choice in Canada too. Often seen as an alternative to beer, its production actually has more in common with wine. Regardless of its history or how it's made, people are turning to cider more and more as a fantastic alternative to the usual wine, beer, or spirits.
A helping hand in the world of cider.
The diversity of ciders now available at your neighbourhood NSLC reveal the attention cideries around the world are now devoting to this age-old drink. The Cider Discovery Guide was created to introduce you to the different Cider flavours and sweetness levels you can expect to find at your local NSLC and to help you find your favourites.
You'll notice we've organized our ciders into three distinct, colour-coded taste profiles, based on each cider's sweetness, style, flavours and origin.
Ciders with a refreshingly sweet taste, a distinctly fruity character, and a crisp finish.
Ciders with a slight sweetness, a balanced and refreshing character, and a crisp finish.
Here's the info you'll find at shelf.
Similar to wine, cider has different levels of sweetness. There are three different versions within the Cider category—Dry, Medium Dry and Sweet. Look for the icon that best suits your taste.
Style describes the base flavour ingredient of the cider. There are three different styles—Apple, Pear and Flavoured. Apple and pear refers to the base fruit juice used. Flavoured means that an additional flavour has been added to the base. This doesn't always mean the flavour is artificial, just that there is another flavour in addition to the base.
A cider's flavours are determined by a number of factors, including the ingredients used. The most distinct flavours of each cider are summarized here.
The enjoyment of a glass of cider can be enhanced by pairing it with the right food. We have included a few suggestions for foods that go well each cider.

Taco Bell brings breakfast
Stephanie Thomson
Taco Bell recently released their new breakfast menu, which excited many fans of the chain.
Stephanie Thomson, Staff Reporter
The morning of March 27 marked a historical moment for thousands around the world as Taco Bell expanded its menu to include breakfast items.
Taco Bell meals are known for being widely popular and unquestionably cheap but some students aren't too sure about the new menu options.
"I don't know about this whole thing," senior Kiwi Butler said. "I really don't think it's going to take off as well as their other foods have, like the Doritos Locos Tacos."
Many other students, on the other hand, have been counting down the days for the chance to enjoy their favorite fast food for all three meals.
"I'm so pumped about Taco Bell's breakfast deal because now I can eat from Taco Bell whenever I want," sophomore Michaela Boylson said.
To get the inside scoop on how this food measures up to expectations, The Red Ledger purchased almost every item on the breakfast menu and had students act as freelance taste-testers.
Here's what they thought:
Sausage breakfast burrito – "It's pretty good. I would try it again," freshman Chris Fisher said. "I didn't think Taco Bell would ever make burritos of the breakfast kind."
Sausage crunchwrap – "It's basically like a flat burrito," freshman Heather Cantu said. "It was good–it's pretty spicy, which I didn't expect."
Grilled taco – "I loved it. I like how it has bacon and stuff in it'" freshman Eva Campbell said. "I didn't know they were going to make grilled tacos, but it's great!"
Sausage waffle taco – "I really liked the taste of the waffle and how the taco had cheese on it, junior Connor Cross said. "The flavors mixed together well and the whole thing didn't fall apart when I bit into it."

Our Lady of Guadalupe – Grace of Unity
Fresco of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington DC. © Gratia Vobis Ministries
Grace to you!
Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the most popular feasts among Catholics and many non-Catholics of the Hispanic culture, especially those from Mexico. It's in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary who appeared to a young man, Juan Diego, on a hill in the town of Tepeyac. The name of the Lady was rendered from an Indian name to Spanish as Guadalupe. Hence the name—Our Lady of Guadalupe.
She is rightly honored as "Heavenly Patroness of the Philippines" (a title given in 1935 by Pope Pius XI) and "Queen of Mexico and Patroness of the Americas" (1946, by Pope Pius XII).
Why was this feast very significant for the Mexicans? One could say it's because it marked the actual birth of the Mexican Christian culture. Ten years after the apparition to Juan Diego, the impact of the messages and the conversion stories overturned the racism and discriminatory culture that was the mainstream between those of Spanish heritage, the native Indians and indigenous people of Mexico.
The Marian Apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe, flowing from the grace of Christ, our peace, broke the walls of division and enmity among the people (see Ephesians 2:14), reconciling men and women as one people, one nation, and one Christian identity. No longer was there the deep-seated hate and fighting between the so-called superior race versus the inferior race; of those from Spain, Native Indians and the Aztec, the people became, for the most part, one family in Christ.
Mother Mary became, and has continued to be, the rallying point for the people, their common heritage. It's no surprise the Mexicans have a lavish devotion to Mother Mary. I admire their Marian piety.
Wherever Mother Mary appears, it seems, she becomes the rallying point of the entire community. This is true of Fatima, Portugal, where she appeared to three children (Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta), as it is true of Lourdes where she appeared to Bernadette Soubirous.
Mary is the sign of unity for many cultures and families. Actual grace of being bridge builders or fostering unity is one of the many divine blessings dispensed through Marian spirituality—that is, the spirituality based and rooted in Mary Our Mother. Like a Mom, Mary brings all God's children under one fold, covering them with her wings like eagles; the grace of the Son Jesus Christ, enveloping them with love and peace. Isn't it true that Mary is a symbol of the family unity of the Church?
A Church that recognizes the unique role of Mary is a Church that is both divine, as well as truly human. Mary reconnects us, in the most profound way, to the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ without which we can't relate to him as our brother. The filial affections of Christian spirituality are intricately connected to God's bequeathed maternal grace of the Mother from whom Our Lord and brother, Jesus, was born.
See how impactful the reconciliatory spirit of Mary is among many. In Mexico, Our Lady of Guadalupe is a symbol of the unity of the nation, the end of racism and division, and the flourishing of faith, culture, and Christianity. Among non-Christian believers, Mary is also extolled as a woman of excellence. Little surprise that even the Islamic Koran and the Prophet Mohammed saw in Mary (who he called Miriam) an exceptional woman, greatest of all.
I believe, with Venerable Fulton Sheen, that the reconciliation of Christianity and Islam could happen under the patronage of Mary just like the conversion of communist Russia is attributed to devotion to her.
I propose to you today, no matter your Christian or religious tradition, to investigate the life of Mother Mary, the Mother of Jesus our Lord. You would be refreshed and thrilled by this jewel of great price.
Through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, may peace reign in a troubled world. Amen.
May she intercede for us so that the dividing walls of hate, racism and all forms of discrimination, will be overcome by love. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
God love you. God bless you.

Can drug addiction lead to criminal behavior?
On behalf of Robert D. DiDio & Associates posted in Drug Charges on Sunday, September 20, 2015.
Many people experiment with drugs one time and never use them again. Others, however, continue to use drugs on a regular basis, hoping that this does not have a negative impact on their life.
Drug addiction has the ability to lead to criminal behavior. Using drugs has been associated with many violent crimes, ranging from burglary to murder to rape.
Furthermore, and just as important, is the fact that sending people to jail for drug crimes does not always lead to a better life in the future. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc., jail alone has little impact on the reduction of drug addiction.
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program of the FBI found that there were approximately 1.7 million local and state arrests related to drug abuse violations in 2009 alone. This statistic proves that this remains a major problem throughout the United States.
With the possibility of drug addiction leading to criminal behavior, it only makes sense for law enforcement to crack down on people who are partaking in such activity. The problem with this is that police are often times overzealous. This can lead to mistakes that can have an impact on the accused.
Law enforcement officers may not always make the best decisions when it comes to investigating these crimes and arresting people who may be involved. This is why everybody should understand the seriousness of drug addiction and its link to criminal behavior. They should also know their legal rights if they are charged with a drug crime and the potential alternatives to incarceration that can help get at the root of their problem.

Towards The Institutionalization Of Strategic Health Purchasing In Sub-Saharan African: Progress, Lessons Learnt And Experiences From Rwanda
Blog, SPARCing SPARC Africa September 24, 2021 September 29, 2021 Rwanda, strategic health purchasing, Strategic PurchasingNo Comments on Towards The Institutionalization Of Strategic Health Purchasing In Sub-Saharan African: Progress, Lessons Learnt And Experiences From Rwanda
Health financing is at the heart and centre of the health system reforms in Rwanda. To attain the goal of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), a health financing system undertakes a series of functions — resource mobilization, pooling and purchasing — to provide health services. Strategic health purchasing emerged as an essential pillar in Rwanda's Health Financing Strategic Plan 2018-2024 to accelerate and sustain the country's progress towards UHC and achieve value in health service provision and optimize health system gains.
Strategic Health Purchasing refers to the allocation of resources by one or several purchasing agents to public and private health care providers to provide services. Since available resources are limited, strategic health purchasing aims to maximize health system objectives through an active and evidence-based process. Purchasing reforms in Rwanda have focused predominantly on improving service coverage, establishing legal provisions and governance arrangements, and creating a purchaser-provider split to improve purchasing. In addition, the use of evidence in stakeholder negotiations over purchasing decisions has been essential to respond to the changing needs and preferences of the citizens and achieve value for money.
In 2015, the Government approved the transfer of the management of the Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme from the Ministry of Health (MOH) to Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) to create a purchaser-provider split, increase efficiency in the management of health insurance schemes in Rwanda and reduce administrative costs. This process reduced fragmentation in health financing by merging the 30 district mutuelles into one national CBHI pool. This consolidation of purchasing functions within one institution has created the opportunity to increase RSSB's purchasing power, although this has not been fully realized. Policy frameworks and regulations exist and are combined with effective oversight and accountability mechanisms and stakeholder engagement through institutional arrangements.
However, some purchasing functions still lie in the MOH, such as reviewing and implementing the benefits package and reviewing provider payment. In addition, there is a need to build the capacities of the purchasing agencies and other actors to ensure adequate stakeholder engagement, create the right incentives for greater efficiency and quality, and monitor providers' performance.
This blog summarizes key lessons, issues and recommendations emerging from discussions held during a 3-day consultative workshop of policymakers from the MOH, RSSB, academic researchers from the University of Rwanda, College of Medicine and Health Sciences (UR-CMHS/SPH) and strategic purchasing experts and coaches from Strategic Purchasing Africa Resource Centre (SPARC) in October 2020. It also describes the process of establishing the strategic health purchasing sub-technical working group (sub-TWG) to strengthen the institutionalization of strategic health purchasing for UHC in Rwanda.
Stakeholder engagement and dialogue on Strategic Purchasing
In January 2020, the Government of Rwanda, represented by the MOH, the UR-CMHS-SPH, and SPARC, signed a non-binding tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlining the framework for collaboration between RSSB, MoH, UR-CMHS-SPH and SPARC. Since the signing of this MoU, stakeholder engagement has become widely acknowledged as a necessary mechanism for evidence-based decision making and guiding the institutionalization of strategic health purchasing in Rwanda. This recognition led to the organization of a stakeholder engagement workshop in October 2020, which brought together policymakers, purchasers, and academic researchers to discuss the key lessons, opportunities, and challenges to institutionalizing strategic health purchasing.
Key outputs from the workshop were:
A Theory of Change (TOC) outlining the pathway to achieving progress in strategic health purchasing towards attaining UHC in Rwanda.
A Partnership Accountability Framework with details proposed activities/projects to achieve the goals of the MOU.
A review of key findings from the functional mapping of health financing arrangements in Rwanda. Evidence from the mapping formed a baseline analysis of strategic health purchasing in Rwanda, and areas of success and improvement were discussed and agreed upon.
SPARC's role was to provide templates for the theory of change and partnership accountability framework and facilitate discussions towards consensus between stakeholders. This engagement was conducted in an environment of mutual respect and trust and as the first step towards institutionalization. The engagement led to the first Strategic Health Purchasing sub-technical working group (SHP sub-TWG) in February 2021. This working group will foster cooperation among researchers, policymakers, purchasing agencies, and other stakeholders and support the institutionalization of strategic health purchasing.
Creation of the Strategic Health Purchasing sub-technical working group to strengthen and institutionalize strategic health purchasing
The SHP sub-TWG aims to support Rwanda, identify how to strengthen strategic purchasing for UHC, support the institutionalization of strategic health purchasing, contribute to implementing the Health Financing Strategic Plan, support policy dialogue and enhance the accountability of providers and purchasers to the population. Members of the SHP sub- TWG include government officials, purchasing agencies, representatives of healthcare providers, health professional associations, civil society organizations, academia and development partners. The SHP sub-TWG is chaired by the MOH- Head of Department of Planning, Health Financing and Monitoring and Evaluation, and co-chaired by RSSB Deputy Director-General in charge of Benefits. At the same time, the UR-CMHS-SPH and the Rwanda Integrated Health Systems Activity (RIHSA) are responsible for secretariat functions.
The proposed SHP sub-TWG terms of reference facilitate policy reforms and dialogue on strategic health purchasing to successfully implement the Health Financing Strategic Plan 2018-2021 and achieve UHC by focusing on four key pillars of strategic purchasing: provider payment, benefits package design, governance arrangements and information management.
Since its inception, the SHP sub-TWG has worked on three projects: (1) guidelines for CBHI scheme reimbursement of donated medical products, (2) a concept note to inform decision-makers on the need to refine and review existing provider payment mechanisms at the primary healthcare (PHC) level to purchase PHC strategically and incentivize efficiency and quality health service delivery, and (3) the lean health care initiative.
Currently, the provider payment at the PHC level includes: (1) a mix of line-item budgeting for staff salaries, medicines, and facility infrastructure, (2) Fee-For-Service (FFS) from CBHI and other insurance schemes and (3) performance-based financing (PBF) based on specified qualitative and quantitative performance indicators. Each of these provider payment mechanisms creates different incentives and behaviour that can affect health outcomes and delivery. FFS, the predominant reimbursement mechanism from CBHI and insurance schemes, pays providers for each service unit provided regardless of quality, outcomes, or efficiency. Capitation was proposed and promoted as an alternative provider payment mechanism at the PHC level to address the challenges associated with lengthy claims verification and reimbursement delays to health facilities and contribute to cost containment and efficiency gains. Data collection and analysis are ongoing to inform the design of the capitation model drawing on global evidence and the local context.
The capitation model design, legal framework review, monitoring and evaluation matrix and communication strategy are being developed by the same sub-TWG.
Conclusion and lessons learnt
Rwanda has launched bold reforms and initiatives towards strategic health purchasing. Although Rwanda is unique in several ways, the lessons learned institutionalizing strategic health purchasing could be relevant to other countries. Rwanda's experience shows that taking advantage of the windows of opportunity for institutionalizing strategic health purchasing is essential while considering political economy factors. In the case of Rwanda, the transfer of the management of the CBHI scheme from the MOH to RSSB, and the creation of a separate SHP sub-TWG for policy dialogue, presented windows of opportunity for strategic purchasing to accelerate and sustain progress towards UHC and get more value from the money invested in the health sector. To maintain Rwanda's progress in strategic health purchasing, there is a need to enhance the capacity for strategic health purchasing across all stakeholders and ensure that all stakeholders involved in the purchasing of healthcare come together through a consultative process to define a common framework to categorize, track, and document and continuously improve purchasing functions and activities.

Jim Brady, Campus Safety
TOPICS:Campus SafetyFeaturesJim BradyMacKenzie Farley

Posted By: Mackenzie Farley, Staff Reporter December 12, 2016
McDaniel students are aware that they have a Campus Safety team looking after them. But most students don't know who they are. Jim Brady is one of our officers—he has plenty of experience and is always here to help.
Officer Brady has been working for McDaniel Campus Safety for about four and a half years. Before, he was a liquor inspector in Montgomery County for 14 years, and a Police Officer in Prince George's County for 23 years.
One might ask how a man with this much experience ends up at McDaniel College. Brady's daughter was one of the reasons he came to McDaniel. After Brady's daughter graduated with an undergraduate degree from Hofstra University, he received an appealing offer.
"McDaniel offered to let her get her master's here for free if I worked for McDaniel Campus Safety," he says. "She didn't end up coming here to get her master's, but I decided to still work for McDaniel."
He's gained much experience from his work before coming to McDaniel, including a few funny moments during his time as a liquor inspector.
"We had been getting some complaints about a restaurant serving people under age. We had a plan set up and I sent the underage boy working for the department into the shopping center where the restaurant was located. When I went into the restaurant, he wasn't there," he says. "I realized there was another restaurant in the shopping center, and sure enough, he was there, sitting with a drink in front of him, waiting for me to show up. We unintentionally caught the wrong restaurant serving minors."
Working for McDaniel Campus Safety is definitely a change of pace for Brady, who once worked near the University of Maryland, College Park. Even though McDaniel may not be a lively as the University of Maryland, he enjoys his time here very much.
A "normal" day for Brady starts at 6 a.m. He always works the morning shifts, which last 10 hours. This is what a typical day for the officer looks like:
"I start my day be relieving the night shift and finding out what happened the night before. Then, around 7 am we gas up the vehicles. 8:30 a.m.—supervisors come in and I touch base with them about what is going on. During my day, the most common call is lockouts [when students get locked out of their rooms]. I also get calls to take students to urgent care, and other minor medical calls."
Brady describes other daily scenarios, too.
"I respond to all alarm calls, such as smoke detectors, which are normally set off by the students cooking. I take reports of any nature at the location in which the incident occurred."
Brady ends his day at 3:30 p.m. and writes his end-of-shift report. By 4 p.m. he is ready to leave.
He can also clear up the rumor going around that Campus Safety is moving off campus and teaming up with the Westminster Police Department (WPD). This is not entirely true. Campus Safety's location is moving to the building across from the Gardens Apartments, which used to be a dentist's office. McDaniel now owns this building. The move is planned to be in December.
As far as teaming up with the WPD, Campus Safety is not. Brady says that sometimes, when there is violence on campus, the WPD may ride along with Campus Safety, but that is the extent of their partnering with the WPD.
McDaniel, we may not know all of the officers as well as we now know Officer Jim Brady, but we should know that no matter how they ended up at McDaniel, they are always here for us. In the words of Brady, "Campus Safety as a whole is always here for the students, no matter the situation." They are "here to assist you in any way you need assistance. If you have any problems, feel free to come to the Campus Safety office and talk with any officer."

Shading refers to depicting depth in 3D models or illustrations by varying levels of darkness.
2 Computer graphics
2.1 Angle to light source
2.2 Light sources
2.3 Distance falloff
2.4 Flat vs smooth shading
Example of shading.
Shading is a process used in drawing for depicting levels of darkness on paper by applying media more densely or with a darker shade for darker areas, and less densely or with a lighter shade for lighter areas. There are various techniques of shading including cross hatching where perpendicular lines of varying closeness are drawn in a grid pattern to shade an area. The closer the lines are together, the darker the area appears. Likewise, the farther apart the lines are, the lighter the area appears. The term has been recently generalized to mean that shaders are applied.
Light patterns, such as objects having light areas and shaded areas, help when creating the illusion of depth on paper and on computer screens.
In computer graphics, Shading refers to the process of altering a color based on its angle to lights and its distance from lights to create a photorealistic effect. Shading is performed during the rendering process.
Angle to light source
Shading alters the colors of faces in a 3D model based on the angle of the surface to the sun or other light sources.
The very first image below has the faces of the box rendered, but all in the same color. Edge lines have been rendered here as well which makes the image easier to see.
The second image is the same model rendered without edge lines. It is difficult to tell where one face of the box ends and the next begins.
The third image has shading enabled, which makes the image more realistic and makes it easier to see which face is which.
Rendered image of a box. This image has no shading on its faces, but uses edge lines to separate the faces.
This is the same image with the edge lines removed.
This is the same image rendered with shading of the faces to alter the colors of the 3 faces based on their angle to the light sources.
Shading effects from floodlight.
There are many types of lights:
Ambient Light - An ambient light lights all objects within a scene equally, brightening them without adding shading.
Directional Light - A directional light illuminates all objects equally from a given direction. It's like an area light of infinite size and infinite distance from the scene. There is shading, but cannot be any distance falloff.
Point Light - A point light originates from a single point, and spreads outward in all directions.
Spotlight - A spotlight originates from a single point, and spreads outward in a coned direction.
Area Light - An area light originates from a single plane and illuminates all objects in a given direction beginning from that plane.
Volume Light - A volume light is an enclosed space lighting objects within that space.
Shading is interpolated based on how the angle of these light sources reach the objects within a scene. Of course, these light sources can be and often are combined in a scene. The renderer then interpolates how these lights must be combined, and produces a 2d image to be displayed on the screen accordingly.
Distance falloff
Theoretically, two surfaces which are parallel, are illuminated the same amount from a distant light source, such as the sun. Even though one surface is further away, your eye sees more of it in the same space, so the illumination appears the same.
Notice in the first image that the color on the front faces of the two boxes is exactly the same. It appears that there is a slight difference where the two faces meet, but this is an optical illusion because of the vertical edge below where the two faces meet.
Notice in the second image that the surfaces on the boxes are bright on the front box and darker on the back box. Also the floor goes from light to dark as it gets farther away.
This distance falloff effect produces images which appear more realistic without having to add additional lights to achieve the same effect.
Two boxes rendered with an OpenGL renderer. Note that the colors of the two front faces are the same even though one box is further away.
The same model rendered using ARRIS CAD which implements "Distance Falloff" to make surfaces which are closer to the eye appear brighter.
Distance falloff can be calculated in a number of ways:
Linear - For every x units a given point is from the light source, the amount of light received is x units less bright.
Quadratic - This is approximately how light works in real life. A point that is twice as far from the light source as another will receive four times less light.
Factor of n - A point that is x units from a light source will receive 1/xn as much light.
Any number of other mathematical functions may also be used.
Flat shading interpolation example
Flat vs smooth shading
Flat shading is a lighting technique used in 3D computer graphics. It shades each polygon of an object based on the angle between the polygon's surface normal and the direction of the light source, their respective colors and the intensity of the light source. It was used for high speed rendering where more advanced shading techniques were too computationally expensive. But by the end of the 20th century affordable graphics cards were offering smooth shading that were also very fast, making flat shading for speed reasons unnecessary.
The disadvantage of flat shading is that it gives low-polygon models a faceted look. Sometimes this look can be advantageous though, such as in modeling boxy objects. Artists sometimes use flat shading to look at the polygons of a solid model they are creating. More advanced and realistic lighting and shading techniques include Gouraud shading and Phong shading.

Sheer Guts: The New Dalit Leaders, And Mayawati
THE CITIZEN EDITORIAL
By THE CITIZEN EDITORIAL
It has been decades since India has seen the emergence of new Dalit leaders. The few that did show their faces long after Independence were either a chip off the old Brahminical block and were quickly coopted by the system playing politics according to the well laid rules of the maharaja and praja game. This has been evident in the style of functioning of most, including Bahujan Samaj party chief Mayawati who started her career by sitting on the high chair while all her party leaders and even Ministers sitting at her feet. Instead of abolishing the system that had led to the subjugation of the Dalits, these leaders used their politics and support to basically sit on the high table with the ruling elite.
Today, the difference is remarkable. Two Dalit leaders have emerged within a year---one in Gujarat, the other in Uttar Pradesh---both states where oppression has seen invincible heights. Jagnish Mevani has just completed a ten day Freedom March (Azadi Kooch) through the interiors of Gujarat (covered extensively by The Citizen), pushing ahead doggedly despite government efforts to stall the movement. Cases are piling up against Mevani, as indeed those who are with him, but along with these the support too is growing. He emerged from the Una atrocity, and since then has worked relentlessly to unite the marginalised sections of society on a platform founded on economic and social rights.
The second leader is Chandrashekhar, who is currently in jail with serious cases slapped on him, who came into the spotlights in Saharanpur where his Bhim Army played a major role in preventing the violence from taking on a Dalit versus Muslim hue. Chandrashekhar, at a subsequent meeting at Jantar Mantar where thousands turned up to listen to him, made it clear that any one who opposed the BJP government these days was branded a terrorist, a Naxalite.
He is in jail now with the Bhim Army struggling for his release.
The courage shown by these leaders is exemplary, as has been their effort to link with other new leaders and movements. There is a directness about their communication that is fearless, simple, and yet highly political. This leadership has left the surviving Dalit leader---well just about--- Mayawati, floundering. Her little drama of resigning from the Rajya Sabha because she was not allowed to speak on the concerns of the Dalits, is a case in point. It is clearly a move to get her little spot in the sun, given the fact that she does not travel or meet people, she does not lead struggles, she does not visit incident spots, she does not mingle with the Dalits per se. Why? As this is not what leaders do,and at best she is managing a party left behind by Kanshi Ram and does not have the ability to add to what she has virtually inherited from him. Instead as the recent elections demonstrated she is fast losing ground, and in Saharanpur it was the Bhim Army that was in charge with little to no sign of the BJP.
Mevani and even Chandrashekhar, though he is in jail, represent a challenge to this old order. And instead of support they can be sure that they will receive flak from not just the BJP, but also the Opposition that instead of embracing the movements sees in these a threat to its own domain. These new leaders also regard the established Opposition as something of a liability, corrupt, without ideas, and with baggage that in some cases stinks. And so both are keeping a distance from each other, but clearly there will have to be a reaching out and a meeting of sorts if either wants to make an impact in the next general elections. Two years, actually less, is not sufficient time for either Mevani to acquire a strong organisational base or for the Opposition parties to find a new leadership that can communicate like these new leaders can. They have to be given respect and space, along with the support but then perhaps that is too much to expect from the Congress and the regional parties who are currently busy eating themselves from within.

Southern Rift Montane Forest-Grassland
Bioregion: Greater African Subequatorial Savannas & Mixed Woodlands (AT11)
States: Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia
The Nyika plateau in the Southern Rift Montane Forest-Grassland ecoregion is renowned for its vast and impressive array of colourful orchids, supporting nearly 215 species. These plants are known for their beautiful and vibrant flowers, popular as ornamental and horticultural plants.
In Southern Africa, the orchids are also demanded for their edible tubers, especially in Zambia, which has resulted in unsustainable harvesting of orchids in Malawi and increasingly in Tanzania as well. The tubers are also used by local communities in traditional medicinal products.
The ecoregion consists of several discontinuous mountain chains around the western and northern shores of Lake Malawi/Nyasa, and extends to the eastern ranges of Lake Tanganyika. The topography is characterized by large plateaus surrounding high peaks and ridges, bounded on all sides by escarpments or deeply dissected hill country.
The ecoregion contains montane grasslands interspersed with species rich forest regions. The climate pattern is largely dictated by Lake Nyasa, which provides moisture to the highlands. Precipitation is largely confined to the wet season months (November to April). Mean annual temperatures are between 13 and 19°C. At the highest altitudes, temperatures as low as -7 °C have been recorded.
The flagship species of the Southern Rift Montane Forest-Grassland ecoregion is the blue swallow. Image credit: Seldomseen, Creative Commons
The ecoregion is composed of several distinct vegetation communities, the most dominant being grassland with species including Loudetia simplex, Exotheca abyssinica, Monocymbium ceresiiforme, Themeda triandra, and Andropogon spp. A number of herbs, sedges, and geophytes also occur in the grassland community, as does the occasional fire-resistant shrub, usually of the genus Protea.
In the grassland matrix, the most prominent vegetation type is Afromontane forest, with dominant tree and shrub species such as Apodytes dimidiate, Bersama abyssinica, Entandophragma excelsum, Ficalhoa laurifolia, Ilex mitis, Myrianthus holstii, Parinari excelsa,and Syzygium guineense. At lower altitudes, the vegetation grades into miombo woodland dominated by Brachystegia, Julbernardia,and Isoberlinia.
Levels of endemism in the flora and fauna of the Southern Rift is much lower than in the Eastern Arc Mountains to the northeast. The grasslands of the Southern Rift are, however, particularly rich in orchids, and contain six endemic species of Protea. The Nyika Plateau is home to south-central Africa's richest orchid flora, totaling 214 species; some of the 33 endemic species include Helichrysum hilliardiae, Crassula nyikensis, and Oxalis chapmaniae. Kitulo plateau is also renowned for having important outstanding plants – 45 orchid species are found here and 16 of them are endemic.
Near-endemic mammals include Abbott's duiker, the desperate shrew, and Swynnerton's squirrel. Near-endemic birds include the churring cisticola, buff-shouldered widowbird, Chapin's apalis, and black-lored cisticola. The Nyika National Park supports the world's largest breeding population of blue swallows and the locally rare Stanley bustard. These can also be seen in Kitulo Plateau National Park.
Among the herpetofauna are a number of strict and near-endemic amphibians, many of which inhabit the ecoregions forested areas: Stewart's river frog, Rungwe river frog, and Usambara big-fingered frog. Strict and near-endemic reptiles include Ngosi volcano and Poroto Mountain chameleons.
The archipelago-like nature of the Southern Rift Highlands means that its component habitat blocks are naturally isolated from one another by topography. However, human intervention has caused further fragmentation and degradation within the habitat islands. The protected area network throughout most of the ecoregion is inadequate with the exception of the Nyika Plateau area, the majority of which is protected inside Zambia and Malawi's contiguous Nyika National Parks.
Tanzania has created the Kitulo Plateau as a national park, increasing protection for the rare orchid flora. A number of forest reserves fall inside the ecoregion's boundaries including South Viphya and Kaning'ina in Malawi, Mafinga Hills in Zambia, and Livingstone Mountains in Tanzania. There are also smaller traditional and village forest reserves in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, established by local communities for a variety of cultural reasons.
Each year, large fires of primarily anthropogenic origin sweep these highlands. This burning regime is believed to have been the main cause of the replacement of Afromontane forests with grassland in some parts of the ecoregion. Grassland areas are increasingly being converted to crops such as tea, coffee, potatoes, banana, finger millet, maize, beans, and pyrethrum. The trade in orchid tubers for consumption in Zambia is seriously threatening as many as 85 species of terrestrial orchid across the Southern Highlands.
Invasive exotic timber tree plantations (Pinus and Eucalyptus) are resulting in a large loss of these montane grassland habitats in Malawi and Tanzania. A bramble Rubus sp. has spread extensively throughout the Nyika National Park as well as Bracken fern. Additionally, poaching of wild antelopes (roan and eland) from Nyika National Park is a threat.
The priority conservation actions for the next decade will be to: 1) eradicate and control the spread of invasive species; 2) restore degraded habitats caused by uncontrolled fires whilst creating awareness of the dangers of bushfires to both humans and wildlife; and 3) encourage biodiversity friendly agricultural practices as well as sustainable livelihoods which do not degrade the environment, for example, ecotourism and beekeeping, or controlled cattle grazing.

A Q&A plus information about a giveaway of this book are included in this post.
Small Bunny's Blue Blanket is one of my favorite new picture books, which I blogged about last week. The main character is adorable. He acts just like a little kid, but he's a rabbit. Second, it's a versatile mentor text. Third, the story has universal appeal for adults and children.
SAS: Who or what inspires you to write?
TF: I am always looking at children's books and also work by other illustrators. There are so many amazing books out now and so many great illustrations by current artists like John Klassen and Kveta Pacovska and also illustrators from several decades ago like Charlie Harper, Saul Bass, Paul Rand, etc. that I always feel there is something more to work towards.
SAS: I can envision teachers using your book to teach primary elementary school students about creating complete structure. I can imagine teachers suggesting that students experiment with their page layouts by holding up pages like the one that says "Small Bunny needed Blue Blanket to help him go even higher on the swings." Certainly the book can be used to mentor kids with a variety of ways to use punctuation. How else do you think teachers can use your book to serve as a mentor text for young writers?
3) you changed your mind about something, etc.
Maybe it could also be used as a way to teach kids to give specific, action driven examples to make their writing more interesting. Instead of just writing Small Bunny loves Blue Blanket a lot, there are examples like, they swing together, read books together, paint together.
Also, as it is a picture book, it could be used to show how illustrations are central to a story. They can be used to show emotion ( Small Bunny's ears), develop tension in the plot ( washing machine page) etc.
SAS: Do you use a writer's notebook? If so, can you tell me a bit about how you use it?
TF: Well, I think of myself primarily as an illustrator-so I usually have a small sketchbook with me that I use to draw or sometimes write ideas from things I see or hear or remember when I am out and about. These ideas then sometimes work their way into a story or maybe into the way I think about doing the art for a story.
My interview with Tatyana Feeney continues over at my other blog, Raising a Literate Human. The rest of my questions are reading-related, which is why they are housed over there.
Also if you'd like the chance to win a copy of Small Bunny's Blue Blanket, then head over to Raising a Literate Human, which is where I'm hosting this book's giveaway.
← My WordFest Mentor Text Stack Is Growing!
Enter me to win! I'm still launching Writing Workhop in my second grade classroom. Tatyana's book is a definite mentor text for writing our Small Moments.
Thanks Stacey…and btw my daughter left her "teddy" on an airplane at age 8 and when she turned 18 my husband found a duplicate on ebay and bought it for her birthday. She's 22 today and is moving to NYC next month (she'll be bringing Teddy). The time flies….Hold on tight!

Q: Clover - getting coverage without automated tests I am currently exploring various code coverage tools for use in project and short listed on
clover amongst clover, Emma and cobertura. ( My org is ready to pay for clover and its nice )
But we donot have automated tests. all tests are manual and we need results to be generated run time using instrumented code.
clover's wiki's inital lines say

Code coverage is the percentage of code which is covered by automated
  tests.

Can clover collect coverage on non-automated tests ? i.e the requirement is i instrument code at compile time and get coverage report when i actually run the code.
Googled much but could not find most appropriate answer.
Are there alternatives to achieve that if clover does not support it

A: The idea of coverage tools is to instrument the application code so that when it's run, statistics are collected, and finally written into reports. Wether the application code is run by automated tests or by manual tests doesn't matter. It will work with manual tests, but be of course much longer.

A: There are manual steps which clover website documents. probably using this we can achieve.. but not sure of exact optimal way to do this.

A: Kindly follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKxls7qCZPE
It explains How to fast load Big Data or 1 Million in Laravel using DataTables Server Side Processing in Laravel.
The uniqueness of this solution is that it uses DB Facade for example
DB::table('users')
other than a Model query builder
User::all() which may also take a longer time to load even though you are using server-side processing.
Below is how the code you should use in the controller. You can modify it according to your requirements but this is just startup.
$data=  DB::table('users');
return DataTables::queryBuilder($data)->toJson();

«Братья Пилоты готовят на завтрак макарончики» — российский рисованный мультипликационный фильм о приключениях Шефа и Коллеги из сериала «Из личной жизни братьев Пилотов», снятый в 1996 году режиссёром Александром Татарским на студии «Пилот». Лауреат премии «Ника» в категории «лучший анимационный фильм».

Сюжет
Действие происходит в Бердичеве летом 1950 года. Шеф и Коллега решают позавтракать. Для этого они начинают готовить макароны, по своему особому рецепту: Шеф фиксирует куб льда с рыбой внутри и строгает его рубанком, а Коллега ловит ледяную стружку кастрюлей. Затем он переводит стрелки на часах и ловит кукушку, затем берёт из её гнезда в часах яйца. Он разбивает яйца и оттуда появляются будильники. Коллеге удаётся прихлопнуть их мухобойкой, потом он перемешивает детали и делает яичницу, затем он кладёт её в кастрюлю со стружкой льда. Шеф просит Коллегу включить вентилятор. С помощью вентилятора он нарезает колбасу. В это время Коллега обтачивает яблоко напильником и бросает в кастрюлю. Потом он взбалтывает содержимое кастрюли с помощью кузнечика, Шеф делает из теста колобок и кладёт его на голову Коллеге. Затем он берёт дуршлаг и выдавливает из него макароны. Шеф запихивает в печь Коллегу с макаронами на голове. Спустя минуту Коллега кричит «Готово», и Шеф вытаскивает его. Затем он страстно состригает с головы Коллеги готовые макароны. Шеф совком подметает с пола макароны и кладёт их на тарелку. Затем просит Коллегу принести кактусовый ром (текилу). Коллега выламывает кран из умывальника и вставляет в кактус. Там он наливает в кружку кактусовый ром и даёт Шефу. Он добавляет в жидкость соль и выливает смесь в макароны. Чтобы проверить, что макароны безопасны для употребления, Шеф даёт тарелку Коту. Понюхав макароны, тот потерял сознание. Шеф понимает, что эти макароны есть не стоит, и приглашает Коллегу позавтракать в городскую столовую. Коллега не понимает, что макароны несъедобны, и спрашивает: «А макарончики?». Шеф не хочет расстраивать друга и отвечает ему: «А макарончики мы съедим, завтра» — и вместе с Коллегой уходит, оставив макароны в холодильнике. Мультфильм заканчивается тем, что из холодильника выбегает множество пингвинов из-за того, что макароны ужасно пахли.

Интересный факт
 Город Бердичев упоминается в мультфильме «Парасолька на охоте», его название можно увидеть на указателе, мимо которого проходит Парасолька.

Operation Crucible
"Bang." "Bang." "Turn." "Brush." Apparently that's how steel gets made, or got made in World War II, with two men pounding it, one positioning it, and one more readying it for the next step. And a lot of steel gets made in Operation Crucible, Kieran Knowles's vigorous retelling of the Sheffield Blitz, a 1940 calamity in the South Yorkshire town. Part-documentary, part-character study, and all-teamwork, this four-man entry into 59E59's Brits Off Broadway series is energetic and affecting, and a little disorganized.

The Edge of Our Bodies
A 16-year-old prep school student takes a train to New York City, spends some time in a bar, encounters odd sexual shenanigans in a hotel room, and struggles with an assortment of inner conflicts. In 1951, J. D. Salinger turned this scenario into gold with The Catcher in the Rye. But, in the TUTA Theater Company's abstract and lumbering production of a 2011 play by Adam Rapp, these same elements hold little value. With extensive doses of narration broken only by a few unexplainable affronts of noise and light, The Edge of Our Bodies shares a border with the limits of our patience.

Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk are the Rihanna of musical theater. Just as the Barbadian pop goddess releases hit song after hit song while selling relatively few albums, Kerrigan and Lowdermilk are less known for their plays than for their individual tunes, which have gained them a rabid online following. Their contemporaries Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land) have conquered Broadway and Hollywood, but Kerrigan and Lowdermilk have connected with the millennial fan base like no other musical theater writers; they're the official composers of the Internet. Now, several of their conversationally catchy pop songs have found their way into the long-gestating original musical The Mad Ones, playing at 59E59 Theaters.

There may be no better, or more controversial, example of humankind's uneasy attempts to shape nature than the cow. When celeb geek Neil deGrasse Tyson recently tweeted that cows are "biological machine(s) invented by humans to turn grass into steak," avowed vegan Moby took to Instagram to call him an "ignorant sociopath" for making light of the "unspeakable suffering" humans wreak on billions of animals a year. Irish company Fishamble's genial Charolais at 59E59 mines this same tension for dark humor and pathos, but with a much more intimate beef, between an Irish woman and a French heifer over the man who loves them both.

Summer Shorts: Series B
No matter how oppressively hot a New York summer can be, one of the dramatic oases in it has become the Summer Shorts Festival of New American Short Plays at 59E59 Theaters. Founded by artistic director (and often actor) J.J. Kandel 11 years ago, the mini-festival presents two bills of one-acts in repertory for several weeks. This year, Series B of Summer Shorts features Break Point, written and directed by Neil LaBute; A Woman, by Chris Cragin-Day, directed by Kel Haney; and Wedding Bash, written by Lindsey Kraft and Andrew Leeds, and directed by Kandel himself.

Bucket Club's inventive Fossils is one of the quirkier Brits Off Broadway 2017 entries so far, with its plastic dinosaur people and range of questionable accents. If the script doesn't equal the rich world that the company conjures through sound and light, the play is still a beautiful reminder of the diverse material that Britain's robust training system and government arts subsidies can produce.

Angel and Echoes
The theater has not been kind to the English port city of Ipswich lately. Alecky Blythe's documentary musical London Road, a huge hit for London's National Theatre and recently made into a film featuring a singing Tom Hardy (no, really), shows Ipswich's working class to be petty and vindictive. In the revival of Henry Naylor's Echoes, part of a double bill with new play Angel at the Brits Off Broadway festival, Ipswich is such a "dungheap" that it drives two women into the arms of religious extremists in Afghanistan and Syria. Compared to the hellscapes in which the women of Naylor's "Arabian Nightmares" find themselves, though, Ipswich is the Garden of Eden.

A Gambler's Guide to Dying
There's a famous joke about a man who prays for years to win the lottery. He tries to live a righteous life and promises to use the money for good, but his prayers grow increasingly bitter. One day, as he's leaving church, having given God an earful, the clouds part and a voice booms, "Hey, moron, you have to buy a ticket!" A Gambler's Guide to Dying, which launches 59E59's 13th annual Brits Off Broadway festival this week, is about a man for whom buying the ticket is more than good advice; it's his life philosophy.

Feathered Enemies
The Birds, Conor McPherson's creepy new play, is derived neither from Aristophanes nor Alfred Hitchcock. It does, however, share DNA with the 1963 film because both draw from a short story by Daphne du Maurier. (Hitchcock also used du Maurier novels as source material for Jamaica Inn and his Oscar-winning Rebecca.) Don't expect to find real birds or even simulated ones in the pocket drama at 59E59 Theaters. Fans of the movie won't find a pompous female ornithologist with environmental concerns or a schoolteacher with her eyes pecked out either.
