Alice Saunier-Seïté, who has died aged 78, was the first woman to be appointed grand-maître des universités , a post created by Napoleon and now minister in charge of the universities of France. She also served briefly as minister for women and the family, before President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's 1981 electoral defeat ended her national political career.
A geographer by training, Saunier-Seïté was the first woman dean and the first woman rector in the French university system. As a minister, she was an energetic reorganiser of higher education after the political upheavals of 1968. As a Paris municipal councillor, she played an important role in town planning. In 1995, she was elected to the Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques.
Born Alice Saunier, at Saint-Jean-le-Centenier in the Ardèche, she was proud of her Corsican links. She was educated at the Lycée de Tournon, where she became involved with the resistance. Her university studies began in Paris, where she obtained an oriental languages diploma and, in 1963, a doctorate in geography.
The same year, after a period at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), she became a lecturer in geography, and in 1965 a professor, at the University of Rennes. She moved to a chair at Paris-V (1969-1970) and later at Paris-XI (1970-1973). In 1973, she was appointed rector of the academy of Reims; under the French system, rectors' duties involve the supervision of all education within the jurisdiction of their academies.
In 1976, Giscard made Saunier-Seïté his secretary of state for the universities and, two years later, she became a full minister. Her main task was to offset the disadvantages of the hastily introduced 1968 education law.
She brought considerable strength of character, administrative skills, diplomacy, charm and, above all, vision to the task. She wanted French universities to be "poles of excellence". She doubled the personnel, made the libraries more research-oriented and created new faculties. Reforms of the CNRS and French cultural institutes abroad were also put in hand.
With Giscard's departure in 1981, Saunier-Seïté's boundless energy found outlets in a chair at the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers (1981-1994), and in her work as a Paris city councillor (1983-2002). She concerned herself initially with traffic, police and security issues, but later chaired the town planning commission. Her concern for local and municipal representatives led to her involvement in the National Movement of Local Councillors, of which she became president.
Saunier-Seïté's visiting card invariably mentioned at least three of her current or past positions, but she was always Alice to her many friends and was totally devoid of pomposity. She was a knowledgable historian, happy in the company of scholars such as Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie and Marc Fumaroli.
She learned to pilot a plane, though Giscard banned her from flying while in office. In her youth, she had taken up fencing as a hobby, and she also wielded the sabre. A master-fencer presented her with her academician's sword in 1996. On that occasion, Saunier-Seïté confided that fencing had been an outlet for her aggression, a rare admission from this ebullient, yet very private, person.
Her marriage to EJ Picard was dissolved and her second husband, Jérome Seïté, predeceased her. Their two sons survive her.
· Alice Louise Saunier-Seïté, educationist, born April 26 1925; died August 5 2003.

Gundam War Collectible Card Game - Franchise - Original Design Series and Variations
Original Design Series and Variations
Due to the sheer popularity of the Gundam franchise, especially the mobile suit design, several "Original Design Series" were published. These series are drawings and precise specifications for additional mobile suit units not found in the original animated material:
Gundam Century (1981)
Gundam Century was a book published on September 22, 1981. At first it is an unofficial anime guide of Mobile Suit Gundam, published by Minori books(みのり書房) as an extra appendix of the monthly magazine 月刊OUT. The book served as the basics of all the technology and realistic demonstration of Gundam, in which at publish, it is a collection of fan material along with interviews and off-time works from the original Gundam creators like Yoshiyuki Tomino, Kunio Okawara and Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Also collected various real world space exploration science and referenced scientific journals like L5 News, Science, Physics Today. The settings in the book has since then been adopted and endorsed by the official company Sunrise and Bandai. Although most of the numbers and history has since then been changed a few times, (for example, the One Year War started in November 0079 instead of the current official timeline January 0079). the book is regarded as the pioneer of the realism of the Gundam franchise, and is acknowledged in Gundam Official and is republished by as an official publication in the year 2000, named as Gundam Century Renewal Version.
Mobile Suit Variations (1983)
Also known as "MSV", these variations exist from the One Year War, and considered to be official and canonical in the Universal Century timeline.

Famous quotes containing the words variations, series, original and/or design:
"I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways."
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
"Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory."
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
"Presumption is our natural and original malady. The most vulnerable and frail of all creatures is man, and at the same time the most arrogant."
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
"I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth."
—John Adams (1735–1826)

Rebooting India: Unstoppable Pharma
Soumya Panda, Associate
Vice-President and Site Head of the
Mankind Pharma's Dehradun plant has around five hundred employees divided into three shifts, manufacturing tablets, capsules and injectables for export. Soumya Panda, Associate Vice-President and Site Head of the plant spoke to Mrigank Warrier, Special Correspondent, Clean India Journal about how his team has kept the engine running throughout the pandemic:
Q. When the lockdown was imposed, what was your immediate reaction and response?
A: We are in the business of manufacturing lifesaving drugs, so we could not afford to pause production, particularly during Covid times. So our top management sat together to work out how we can keep going in the new normal. We examined government guidelines and put together our own, which would have to be implemented across all our sites. These guidelines covered everything from the moment an employee steps into the facility to the time he leaves.
Q. Please describe how an employee enters your site during pandemic times.
A: Since employees were using public transport to reach our facility earlier, we now send out company buses to pick them up. These are sanitised after every few trips. if the capacity of the bus was 42, only 21 employees are allowed per trip, only one in each seat. Before entry, employees' status on the Aarogya Setu app is checked. As soon as an employee comes into the plant, he has to clean his hands, first with liquid soap and water, followed by drying using automatic dryers. This is followed by hand sanitiser. After this, he has to go for thermal screening, where history of any sickness is also noted. We have markings placed to ensure physical distancing everywhere, from the entry points to the shop floor.
Q. What do you do if an employee's temperature is found to be raised?
A: If an employee's temperature is raised, he is held back and sent home, where our company doctor will be in continuous touch with him. if the fever continues for two days, he is sent for a medical checkup and a Covid test. If it turns out to be positive, our HR is in constant touch with him and his family, and a kit consisting of immunity supplements is sent. Moral support is important; he should feel that this is just another illness, which will soon pass.
Q. How has the manufacturing zone changed during the pandemic?
A: We have divided the manufacturing unit into six different zones, each of which is subdivided. If any individual in a zone is found Covid positive, the other individuals in the zone will be tested, while those in other zones can continue with their work uninterrupted. Each zone is colour-coded; for example, if you're in the blue zone, you're in Zone 4. Each zone has its own allocated bathrooms as well. Pharma has gone in for automation; where five people were required for a job, now only two are required, so distancing is not difficult. At the end of every day, each employee has to submit his contact list of the names of people he has come in close contact with on that day, before he exits from the plant.
Q. What other measures have you introduced?
A: We have introduced sensor based taps in all toilets and the canteen. A few areas already had these; we installed new ones in the remaining areas as soon as the pandemic started. Those who work in administrative roles have been asked to work from home, so our employee strength at the factory has been reduced by 10-12%. In the canteen, we allow only two people at each table, and there is a barrier between the two, to maintain sufficient distance.
Q. How are the manufacturing areas and machines cleaned at your site?
A: There are two types of cleaning required for machines; general for the machine, and special for the parts that come in contact with the drug. For the latter, we do both cleaning and sterilisation, first with water, then dried and sent for autoclaving. For the rest of the machine, we use 70% IPA or hydrogen peroxide. We clean each machine after each batch of drugs is manufactured; the overall area, including packing area, is cleaned once a day. Some areas are cleaned once every shift, depending upon the classification of the area.
Q. What tools and equipment are used?
A: We use both tools and machines for cleaning. During the pandemic, cleaning frequency has increased. Bathrooms and toilet seats are cleaned after every use. In the clean room, we rely on manual cleaning. We use mops that are discarded after a single use, and the cleaning solution has to be changed in certain areas. Corridors are cleaned by ride-on sweepers. Our housekeeping staff – which is contractual – has increased by 30% during the pandemic.
Q. What PPE is required in pharma manufacturing?
A: Masks are mandatory before entry. When employees go to their respective working zones, they have a different gowning procedure. They exchange their street clothes for a primary gown i.e a pant and shirt, before entering the manufacturing area. In classified areas, they have to wear a sterilised secondary gown, where everything is covered by a boiler suit and head gear. Whenever they come out – for any reason – the gown is discarded and a new one worn before entering again. Most packing is done in an automated manner. Whenever there is manual packing, and four five employees are at one table, face-shields are provided.
Q. Covid is a disease that is primarily air-borne. How are you protecting the indoor air quality at your facility?
A: In classified areas, we have HEPA filters that filter out particles larger than 0.3 microns. In non-classified areas, we do not recirculate air. Earlier, 10% of inside air was recirculated; during the pandemic, it's 100% outside air.
Q. How is entry and exit of goods regulated in a safe manner?
A: We have a dedicated area for receiving and storing. Those who are unloading goods have to wear a boiler suit before coming into the factory. Each individual container is sanitised with 70% IPA. We have kept a sanitisation machine at the entrance for incoming trucks, which are allowed in only after sanitisation. Our products are loaded into closed, sanitised trucks for distribution.

'Tender'ing Transparency


Every year thousands of Israelis visit this quaint little village to wallow in some beautiful & vivid mountain views, low-floor café experiences, self-enlightening yoga and meditation courses and the inexplicable indulgences – Now I know why!
Krishna Janmashtami, Shivaratri, Id-ul-Fitr or Durga Puja Ashtami are festivals I never celebrate and to put it quite blatantly, they work as great weekend getaways for a short trip to the hills for most of us Delhiites. On one such occasion, I decided to head to Dharamkot alone (will come to this as to why I did it), a tiny village close to McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. Also, I thought I would do some justice to Shivaratri (Lord Shiva's Birthday) by going to the mountains! I was feeling slightly guilty being a Hindu!
Well, a 10-hour smooth drive from Delhi via Chandigarh with the infamous Amrik Sukhdev Dhaba (informally known as a restaurant) on the way for some crazy Indian Parathas and other delicacies. Also, I didn't believe in the concept of mirage until I did this road trip.
I met Rosalie in January this year while I was coming back to India on my backpacking trip to Thailand (and no I did not go to Pattaya or Phuket, at least this time), Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. More on that later – so ya she had invited me to Dharamkot and it was my first-hand experience of living a wanna-be backpacking westerners' life.
Surrounded on 3-sides by the spectacular Dhauladhar Range, the first thing that hits you when you are introduced to Dharamkot is the VV – the View and the Vibe. Let me tell you more about the Vibe – since you can always google the view.
As you climb up-hill from McLeod Ganj, you reach the CBD or the Centre of Dharamkot, except it only houses one tea-shop and two Buddhist Ashrams offering Tushita Meditation Courses (indulge in a 10-15 day retreat for some self-introspection) and Yoga Classes.
Out of the 3 roads, one of them takes you to a line of cafés located as part of slanting non-linear houses converted into restaurants offering Israeli, Mexican, American, Italian and other select global menu items specifically designed to cater to the foreign tourists.
With 70% of the tourists being Israelis, as per inputs from one the Israeli backpacker that I met was of the opinion, who visit India or head to South America to relieve and re-live post their mandatory Army training and as stated 'because life is too stressful in Israel in general'. Given that perspective, I think all working Indians should travel to Thailand more often, oh wait they already do!
Other reasons cited were good food; cheap accommodation (INR 500-600 per night for a guesthouse accommodation) coupled with breathtaking views and of course the liberty to indulge your mind in a foggy multi-dimensional dream. You were waiting for this, weren't you!
Amidst the dimness of the cafes and the highness of the mountains, this little hippie village never fails to disappoint with what it offers for the kind who like to separate themselves from reality and seek to explore the deeper realms of a parallel world which exists beyond. Honestly, you don't need to scrape the surface too much for this – it comes as a package with the vibe.
During the day, you could visit the Bhagsu Waterfalls, Gallu Temple & the Waterfall, Upper Dharamkot for some more cafés and even more splendid views or possibly do the trek to Triund, Indrahar Pass, etc.
Djembe (the goblet drum), Blanket Shawls, Stone Crafting and the Lulu (an intricate thread like hair extension or alternatively a wrist accessory usually embedded with silver / golden beads) are some of the things synonymous with the culture there. Additionally, you might want to pay a visit to Spike – the Tattoo and the Piercing Guy. Who would believe that India's first Tattoo (yes that's true – he has been at it for the last 15 years) artist is currently based out of this awe-inspiring destination.
All in all, this trippy little den is undoubtedly the hub for travellers looking to escape some real ground and unearth a plethora of enigmatic & spiritual experiences. From ecstatic dance classes (might have to write a separate blog to justify the essence of this) to soap making lessons coupled with devouring food options and the jaw-dropping views; this place is quite untouched and far from reality.
P.S. Locals are quite pally with the foreign tourists as compared to Indian Tourists – a trend witnessed in Kasol as well. So, don't get offended, they stay and sustain their businesses perpetually.

Jack Taylor is an Irish mystery television drama based on the novels by Ken Bruen. Set in Galway, it features Iain Glen in the eponymous role of Jack Taylor, a former officer with the Garda Síochána (national police) who becomes a "finder" (private investigator) after leaving the service; Taylor looks for clues others have overlooked, and knows the streets of his hometown like the back of his hand.

Premise
Set in Galway, the series is based on Ken Bruen's crime novels and features Iain Glen as the leading character, Jack Taylor, an old-school detective, and a maverick who often drinks much more than is good for him. After he is sacked from the Gardaí (the Irish police force) for assaulting a politician he had stopped for a traffic violation, Jack begins to work as a private investigator, reluctantly taking on cases the police will not investigate. According to the series' voiceover, there are no private eyes in Ireland–"It's too close to being an informant – a dodgy concept". Jack soon realises his experience suits him in his new role. He is aided in his investigations by his contacts, including some of his former Gardaí colleagues, notably Officer Kate Noonan.

Cast
 Iain Glen as Jack Taylor
 Killian Scott as Cody Farraher
 Nora-Jane Noone as Garda Kate Noonan (series 1-2)
 Siobhán O'Kelly as Garda Kate Noonan (series 3)
 Tara Breathnach as Anne Henderson (series 1)
 Frank O'Sullivan as Superintendent Clancy (series 1)
 Bill Murphy as Ford (series 1)
 Pádraic Breathnach as Father Malachy
 Jack Monaghan as Darragh Noonan (series 3)

Background
The first Jack Taylor film, The Guards, received its television debut on Ireland's TV3 on 2 August 2010. It was later shown on Canvas in Belgium with Dutch subtitles, and received its first UK broadcast on Channel 5 on 21 February 2013. Following The Guards, two further films, The Pikemen and The Magdalene Martyrs, were recorded and aired in September 2011. In November 2011 the Irish Film and Television Network reported that a further two films, The Dramatist and Priest, were in production, and that Noone and Scott would once again join Glen, reprising their roles. Aaron Monaghan, Emma Eliza Regan and Gavin Drea would also join the cast. The Dramatist aired on TV3 on 3 March 2013, with Priest debuting a week later. Filming for Shot Down, the sixth episode of the series, and billed as the season one finale, began on 7 June 2013. The film is based on Bruen's novel The Killing of the Tinkers.  Episodes 1 through 6 became available in the US on Netflix Streaming on 19 February 2014, episodes 7 through 9 as of 10 April 2017.

Iain Glen spoke to the Daily Record about his role as Taylor shortly before the series began airing in the UK in February 2013, saying the chance to pay homage to the 1970s film, Chinatown, had inspired him to take the part:I've always fancied playing a private eye, ever since I saw Jack Nicholson play Jake Gittes in Chinatown. It is familiar territory but I think there are various aspects that individualize it. One is Ireland's west coast, which has a stunning coastline, and the town of Galway itself [...] The big advantage of taking stuff from books as well written as Ken Bruen's, is that he offers you fantastic dialogue. It's kind of Philip Marlowe with American, quick, dry one-liners all the way. It's lovely to play.

Reception

Bernice Harrison of The Irish Times gave the first film, The Guards, a mixed reception.Stylishly filmed by director of photography John Conroy, its cool, contemporary atmosphere was spoiled by the corny device of periodically giving Taylor a voiceover, improbably turning the ex-guard in Galway with a drink problem into an old-style gumshoe in a film noir. Perhaps if it had been just an hour long instead of feature-length, director Stuart Orme would have insisted on a tighter script, been sharper with his edits and made a better drama. The book deserved it and grizzly Jack Taylor is a strong enough character to hang it – or for that matter, a series – on.She was far less positive about the following two films in 2011, finding Glen's Irish accent to be unconvincing.TV3 is showing two more Jack Taylor investigations...and they are even worse than The Guards...The dramas are a mostly German production – filmed partially in Bremen, which may or may not look like Galway – and there's a touch of the Oirish about the whole thing, and not just because Taylor's weapon of choice is a hurley. Glenn [sic], who in The Guards couldn't quite settle on an accent, has now decided to channel Clint Eastwood: his voice is a husky American-tinged drawl that wouldn't have gone down too well in Templemore.

Keith Watson of Metro felt The Guards had several problems, but that Glen had rescued it.Sidestepping gumshoe cliché, Glen gave Taylor a world-weary charisma that lifted him above the odd story he found himself in from failure. A mixed-up yarn involving a dodgy old artist mate, a spot of under-age sex, a femme fatale and some sideswipes at the state of the Irish economy, the plot buckled under its baffling lack of logic. But Glen, peering at the world through Taylor's boozed-up eyes, lent the action a credibility and mystery it scarcely deserved.

David Jenkins of Time Out was more positive about The Guards, although he felt there was nothing new in the storyline.It's all very clichéd, from the wiseacre patter to the generic chase scene through a strangely empty warehouse. But who's complaining when the clichés are thrown together with this much tenderness and panache?

David Stephenson of the UK's Daily Express praised the episode's opening sequence.The first few minutes of this new feature-length drama confirmed in my mind that I was going to enjoy the next 90 minutes. For a start it began with a car chase after Jack had taken a requisite large slug of booze.

Reviewing The Pikemen following its British television debut, the Radio Timess David Butcher was generally positive, praising Glen for his portrayal of the central character.It's not the paciest of crime thrillers but Iain Glen makes Jack the kind of doleful, rugged character you want to keep watching and the story has the right kind of rough edges.

Phil Harrison of Time Out called the second film, "surprisingly enjoyable", but echoed Jenkins's concerns about plot. "[T]he familiar scenarios are at least played out with appropriate relish and conviction and Glen's excellently gnarly in the lead. Daft, grimy fun."

Reviewing the DVD release of the first three films, The Independents Ben Walsh gave it three out of five stars, saying Iain Glen "convinces as damaged Jack Taylor, an alcoholic former cop who now works as a Galway gumshoe."

In March 2013, The Guardians Laura Barnett spoke to Tim Burchell, a real-life private investigator from Private Investigator London, who had a mixed opinion of the series. Burchell told Barnett:The first time I tried to watch this, I turned it off after 20 minutes. I just couldn't stand all the cliches: the heavy-drinking, loner ex-cop. That's not who I am at all [...] I enjoyed it much more the second time. It does show all the groundwork we have to put in: people think we sit and type names into Google, but we're out there, pounding the streets. And although I've never taken on a murder case, as Taylor does, missing-person cases are our bread and butter."He also felt that such shows can give a misleading view of his occupation. "Shows like this are great entertainment, but they do give people the wrong idea."

DVD releases
Lumière released the first five episodes on DVD with Dutch subtitles on 29 January 2013.
Acorn Media released the first three episodes on DVD in the UK on 4 March 2013.

Scenes From the History of Snow Removal
University of Vermont Libraries Center for Digital Initiatives
In some areas, the weather outside is pretty frightful. And since you've no place to go but outside to shovel, get cozy and read about snow removal in the good old days.
For a good stretch of American history, getting rid of snow was of no great concern. In fact, people actually wanted it around. While this might blow the minds of modern Northeasterners and Midwesterners, keep in mind that these were the days of the horse-drawn vehicle, not the Prius. To improve travel in winter conditions, horse carts and coaches traded their wheels in for ski-like runners. With those things on, the more packed snow on the roads, the better! Historian and weather geek Eric Sloane wrote that, in the 18th and 19th centuries, "snow was never a threat" to road travel, "but rather it was an asset."
To keep roads in optimal snowy condition, many municipalities employed a "snow warden" to pack and flatten the snow with a crude vehicle called a snow roller—essentially a giant, wide wheel weighed down with rocks and pulled by oxen or horses. A far cry from the winter road work we see today, it was more like maintaining a ski slope or smoothing out an ice rink. Stranger still, snow wardens actually had to install snow on the pathways of covered bridges so that travel would not be interrupted.
Plow About That

By the mid 1800s, several different inventors had patented their own versions of a horse-drawn snow plow meant for clearing alleys and residential streets that saw more foot traffic than carriages. In 1862, Milwaukee became the first major municipality to try one out, and it was a hit. Over the next few years, the plows hit the streets in cities throughout the Snow Belt.
But horse-drawn plows didn't stand a chance against the Blizzard of 1888, which bludgeoned the East Coast from the Chesapeake Bay up to Maine. After three days, some places were buried in up to 50 inches of snow, and high winds caused drifts up to 40 feet tall to form. The plow-pulling horses, like everyone else, had no choice but to stay inside and wait for the snow to melt. Cities in the region learned a valuable lesson about preparation, and the following year many implemented measures like hiring more plows and giving them assigned routes, and sending the plows out to start clearing the roads in the early stages of the storm.

Around the same time, on the other side of the country, the rotary snowplow—or as we know it, the snow blower—was getting its start in an unlikely place far removed from the suburban driveways where they're now normally seen. In the Canadian West, railroad men were having a hard time keeping their tracks clear of snow. The railroad snowplows used back east and on the prairies were the wedge-shaped cow-catcher type that pushed the snow to the sides of the track, and they just didn't work in the deep, heavy snow of the western mountains.
J.W. Elliott, a Toronto dentist, had been tinkering with a plow design he thought might work well on a train. His plow had a rotary engine that drove a wheel rimmed with flat blades. As the plow went down the track, snow collected in a housing on the plow and then got funneled up to the blades, which tossed the snow out through an opening at the top of the housing. The railroads passed on it, but Elliot persisted. He hooked up with inventor Orange Jull to improve the design and commission a full-scale working model. The next winter, they convinced the Canadian Pacific Railroad to road-test the new plow on its line near Toronto. The plow cleared the track easily, tossing snow as far as 200 feet out of the way, and the railroad managers were impressed enough to buy eight plows and put them to work. Over the few decades, snowblowers got cheaper, smaller, and easier to use, with truck-mounted models and, eventually, human-powered ones for home use hitting the market.

As automobiles replaced horses and carriages on the roads of the U.S., the snow problem got flipped on its head. It wouldn't be enough to clear the alleys and pack down the snow on the main roads anymore. Cars required dry, safe streets. Motorized salt spreaders were introduced, but they often didn't do enough, and urban sprawl meant most cities were just too big for horse-drawn plows to clean all the streets. In the early 1920s, Norwegian brothers Hans and Even Overaasen and New Yorker Carl Frink independently came up with designs for car-mounted snow plows. These were, apparenty the perfect solution to the modern snow problem, and the company Frink started is still producing plows today.
As for the snow removal tool the average Joe is most familiar with, 100-plus patents have been granted for snow shovel designs since the 1870s. One of the first designs that hit upon the "scrape and scoop" combo was invented in 1889 by—get this—a woman named Lydia Fairweather.

Miloslav Masopust (born 26 September 1924) is a retired general of the Czechoslovak Army Corps in the Soviet Union.

Early life
Miloslav Masopust was born on September 26, 1924 in Český Straklov in Volhynia, Dubno district. At the time, the city was part of Western Ukraine, which was occupied by Poland. Miloslav attended a Polish grammar school until the Soviet Union occupied the region in 1939. During the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, Miloslav witnessed a German pilot, who piloted a Czechoslovak aircraft, bomb train transports full of refugees and wounded soldiers.

Shortly after the occupation began, the Soviets disbanded grammar schools and replaced them with ten-year schools. Ukrainian grammar schools were re-established when the Nazis invaded in 1941. Miloslav continued his education at the Simeni Petljura Grammar School until it was closed down nine months after it was reestablished. He was able to find a job in a meat factory and avoided forced labor.

When the Nazis invaded, they set up a ghetto in Dubno where they sent all the Jews in the Western Ukraine. Eventually, after robbing them of their possessions, the Nazis transported the inhabitants to the site of an unfinished Soviet airfield near Dubno. After undressing them and forcing them into the pits designated for the construction of hangars, they were executed. Those who managed to escape the pits to a nearby village were eventually slaughtered along with the families housing them.

Czechoslovak Army Corps
By February 1944, the Soviets were headquartered in Volhynia (now Northwest Ukraine) and locked in a stalemate with the Germans fortified behind the River Ikva near Dubna on high ground. Masopust crossed over the lines and joined the Czechoslovak army corps. He was trained and assigned as a squad leader of a squad of machine gunners.

After he was wounded at Krosno, he was sent to a vehicle operation course and assigned to the 5th Artillery Regiment, with whom he participated in the Slovak National Uprising as a supply troop commander.

Postwar
After the war, Miloslav briefly worked as an administrator on an agricultural farm with his father.

In 1947 he applied to the Military Academy and served in leadership positions within artillery units. He ended his service with the rank of Brigadier General. He served as the vice-president of the Czechoslovak Association of Legionaries from 2002-2004. In 2015, at age 91, he married his second wife.

I plan to speak and write about my experiences to further pursue my mission of bridging gaps between the U.S. and Iran.
Brief History of Eritea: Ethiopia's annexation of Eritrea, which occurred in 1962, led to the emergence of an Eritrean armed struggle a year later. The first shot, fired by Eritrean guerilla fighters, led to a turning point in East African History – Eritrea was going to fight for its independence. By 1973, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, commonly referred to as EPLF, gradually gained strength and momentum, recruiting armies, educating citizens, and mentally preparing itself for one of the most gruesome wars in Eritrean history. Due to its growing military force, Eritrea was able to liberate a number of its cities by 1977, with the exception of three – the ports of Massawa and Assab, and the capital city of Asmara.
Along with the freedom fighters, the citizens were also deeply involved in the war. Young children joined school youth groups that were aimed at advancing military efforts and supporting troops. These co-gender groups produced fruits and vegetables to send to the military camps, visited hospitals where they prepared meals and offered entertainment to wounded troops, and helped rebuild parts of the city that the war had damaged. To many, it looked as if freedom had nearly arrived. However, while the entire country's hard work and determination gave Eritrea a significant advantage in the war, by the end of 1978, Ethiopia was revamped. With the Soviet Union on its side, Ethiopia was now a huge military force, thwarting Eritrea's every move. Children who had joined these youth groups, such as my parents, had to flee their homes or risk being killed by Ethiopian troops. These children were sent to the strongholds of the front to begin their schooling while others were sent off to the military training camps. For the next thirteen years, Eritrea fought the Ethiopian invasion with bravery, perseverance, and heart, until finally Eritrea defeated the Ethiopian army and won its independence in 1991.
As she lay there on the hard earth, she desperately tried to sleep. The humidity of the air nearly choked her, while bugs scuttled all over her tired body. Rest was essential because, sadly, another full day of military training awaited her, even though she was only eleven. Some ten miles away in the boys' camp, a young boy, shirtless, sat near his tent, thinking about the months that lie ahead of him. Those months would soon turn into years. The little girl and the little boy, my parents, would spend the rest of their childhood fighting a war they did not understand. Little did they know that their tragic experience would set the lives of my sisters and me on a very different path.
When the war began, my parents' lives and futures were seized from them – their families, freedom, and their aspirations for their educations – all gone. In 1978, my parents enlisted in the Eritrean Army during the Eritrean-Ethiopian war; my mother was eleven, and my father was fifteen. They both had goals; my mother wanted to become an astronaut, and my father had a promising future as a photographer, but the war stripped them of those opportunities. When Eritrea won its independence in 1991, my parents were finally allowed to return to the lives they once had… or what remained, but soon they worried about me.
I was born in Eritrea in 1992, and my parents desperately tried to provide a good life for me there. The war had taken a huge toll on Eritrea's economy, which made it very difficult for my father to find a job. Even after he secured a position with the President as his cameraman, money was scarce, and educational opportunities were limited (Eritrea had only been a nation for less than a year). My mother and father also had another concern – what would become of their newborn daughter? What would happen if she were raised in Eritrea? Sure, she would be with her family, but what about her adult life? What would she become? Who would she become? These types of questions drove my father to make a fateful decision.
My mother was dumbfounded – had she heard him correctly? She looked into his face and realized that he was serious. My mother had always marveled at all of the educational opportunities that America had to offer, but she was frightened. How could two poor Eritreans and their one year old daughter move to America? Although they spoke little English, they had no job offers or college educations. In Eritrea, they had a chance, although limited, to rebuild their lives. My mother could pursue her education, and my father could continue working for the President as his cameraman. At the same time, however, my mother had heard of women in America who attended school and became doctors and lawyers. She was sure that a future – although somewhat unclear and murky then – was waiting for them here. More importantly, she knew that a future was waiting here for me.

Ohio football fans may be interested to learn that two former employees of the Detroit Lions filed a lawsuit against the Lions and the NFL for age and racial discrimination. The lawsuit was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court on April 5 by a former director of video operation and a former assistant video director.
Although it was noted that the Lions have been going through a department-wide change in personnel since January 2016, the two former employees had been employed by the team for a long period of time. One of the employees said that he made complaints about certain racial comments that were being made by another employee. He was terminated soon after making the complaints. The other employee was fired after allegedly standing up for the terminated employee. However, he alleged that he had racial comments made towards him as well.
According to an attorney for the former employees, the two men were seeking compensation for lost wages and emotional distressed caused by their terminations. The court stipulations noted that the amount being sought was in excess of $25,000.
It is illegal for companies to allow racial discrimination to occur in the workplace. If an employee reports incidents of discrimination, which can include racial comments, and the employer fails to come to a proper resolution, the victim may have some legal options. An attorney could review the case to determine if workplace discrimination did occur and if the employee's rights were violated. If the client has a case, the attorney may file a lawsuit in an effort to recover damages.


A draft beer is one of the joys of a hot summer day--it's much better to many people than a can or bottle. However, it is just not practical to keep a keg of beer on hand in your house. The mini keg is a much smaller version of the traditional keg, but with all of the same qualities. There are 14 12-ounce cups, 10.6 16-ounce cups and 8.5 20-ounce cups in a mini keg.
A mini keg is generally considered to be a miniature keg for containing beer that holds 5 liters or 1.32 gallons of beer. The mini keg is usually disposable and is made of aluminum with either a pressurized tap or a pour spout. The mini keg is about 1/10 the size of a full sized keg.
Other terms for smaller kegs are pony kegs, beer balls or party balls. These types of kegs all hold 5 gallons or 18.9 liters of beer. A mini keg is much smaller than these types.
A typical can of beer holds 12 ounces, but most cups for parties will hold either 16 or 20 ounces of beer. When figuring out how many beers are in a mini keg, you must know how much your cups will hold.
One liter is equal to 0.26 gallons or 33.8 ounces. A five liter mini keg is equal to 1.32 gallons or 169 ounces. Therefore, there are 14 cups of 12 ounces, 10.6 cups of 16 ounces and 8.5 cups of 20 ounces in a mini keg.
The mini keg was called a "Bubba" in Canada by Molson. You can ask at a store for a "Bubba" and they will know you mean a mini keg. However, in America, there is a company called "Bubba Kegs" so the term can be confusing to American consumers.
How Many Beers Come in a Keg?

Craig Whittaker, Conservative PPC for Calder Valley, has sparked anger on Twitter after sharing a flippant joke about Jimmy Savile.
The Tweet was in reference to disgraced DJ Jimmy Savile who police believe abused in excess of 500 children during his lifetime.
Mr Whittaker has also come under fire from care charities the Care Leavers' Association and the Who Cares? Trust.
Mr Whittaker has not responded to calls for an apology.


One neighborhood name I'd like to know the story behind is Prague's Malá Strana, or "Lesser Town," because for the life of me I can't tell just exactly what's "lesser" about it.
In Communist Czechoslovakia, Blog Post You!
I have my own opinions about Communism, and bear with me because they're subtle. Communism is like the horrifying fever dream of a second-year political science undergraduate with borderline personality disorder who has just taken his first sociology course and thus knows exactly why the world is so oppressed. However, it apparently did have its moments of levity.
The real problem we have with these things is not so much that we are not Turkish and so have no say anyway. The problem is that we couldn't involve ourselves even if we wanted to, because we hardly have any idea what's going on. We have to Google everything later. For all we know, they're chanting "No more kicking puppies!" Or perhaps not.

Argan Dubai Media City: A story about Luxury…
The Rotana family has a distinguished name among its brand members, which is "Arjan". You can see the expansion of Rotana throughout the region up to Turkey, but the striking jewel within the whole is the Arjaan Rotana located in Dubai Media City, which is the Moorish-style tower that connects a decade of brilliance through old-fashioned charm to the very modern luxury technology of the Al Sufouh region.
The Arjaan Hotel in Dubai Media City provides views of the beautiful Arabian Gulf, as well as a view of the most famous man-made island "Dubai The Palm", along with an invaluable presence of the one and only Royal Mirage hotel next to it. As for its proximity to the hubs of Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Knowledge Village, this makes it a valuable choice for business and leisure guests.
From the entrance to the residence, luxury whispers through its exterior and interior design, foyer, and outlets. Most importantly, it is the simple, subtle design of the rooms.
Arjan speaks an oriental language with a North African accent, and takes you to a magical world of the Royal Moroccan literature for lifestyle, and includes a group of rooms and suites with unique unique pools.
Arjan very easily simulates the taste of the elite of the local Arab travelers, and maintains a healthy choice that is "alcohol-free" as the basis for his brand. Given this healthy identity, it is a destination for a one-week break for short breaks, which are preferred for locals and Gulf families.
The hotel is characterized by its ideal location, where it is easier to reach the "Jumeirah Beach Residence" and the areas of Morsi Dubai through the Dubai tram, where the monorail to the "Palm Jumeirah" and also only a few minutes from the world-famous shopping center "Mall of the Emirates", and the cultural center Ibn Battuta Mall.
The hotel has an identity that is pronounced by the rooms. The hotel suites also ideally suit the long-stay needs of corporate guests, especially from the Dubai Media City area.
Arjaan includes two Arabesque dining outlets for all-day dining themed F and B, a balcony, and a snack bar by the pool. Arabesque serves as a breakfast facility for dinner, so enjoyment is always an experience, as this is not the case with dining outlets throughout the day in general. Focus on details and guest satisfaction are the brand icons in the hospitality industry Arjaan.
The Arjaan banquet services are also on an equal footing and provide an excellent tourist facility through luxurious contemporary meeting rooms and catering services, but in a very Arabic way that is associated with the very modern Dubai Media City identity.
You will be very surprised when you get to know the wedding services in Arjan, where there is a unique wedding yard with amazing honeymoon suites as well, this place can easily serve small to large weddings with the finest hospitality services for them.
In short, Arjan is a story of the richness that he shares with his guests through his luxurious services despite his simplicity, that richness in service details, the standard of guest satisfaction and on top of all this a very strong human touch of personal service through the commitment of his staff.

Denim Darling: Omega Updates the Railmaster to Honor its Utilitarian Past
Logan R. Baker
In 2017, Omega celebrated the 60th anniversary of its iconic 1957 Trilogy with three limited-edition timepieces honoring the Speedmaster, the Seamaster 300, and the Railmaster. Due to the success of that launch, the Railmaster was once again added to the brand's core collection. Last night, we received word that Omega was updating the long-underrated timepiece with a denim-inspired dressing that honors the watch's history as an industrial companion.
First, some historical background on the Railmaster. Originally marketed towards scientists, technicians, and railroad workers (hence the name) that found themselves in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields on a daily basis, the watch served as a competitor to the Rolex Milgauss, released in 1956, and the IWC Ingenieur, in 1954. The original Railmaster distinguished itself with a magnetic resistance of 1,000 gauss through its copper-finished movement, double case, extra-thick dial, and iron dusting. However, the watch did not have as much success, or staying power, as its brand counterparts or competitors, and eventually ceased production in 1963. In recent years, the series has been revived in a number of short production runs, including last year's introduction.
By giving the new Railmaster a vertically-brushed, "blue-jean" inspired dial and the option to pair it with a genuine denim strap, Omega is hoping to tap into the substantial audience of nostalgia-hungry people with a penchant for Americana. This isn't the first time we've seen a watch brand utilize denim in a timepiece; Hublot has released numerous watches with real denim dials and five-figure price tags, but, with the Railmaster, Omega has the historical cache (or "genes," pun intended) to back up its experiment.
Other than the dial and strap, Omega describes the "beige" lollipop seconds hand and minute track as reminders of the colored stitching found on denim jeans. While the seconds hand is, in fact, a different tone than previous Railmaster releases, the minute track is identical to previous versions, which is fine as it's already in railroad-style, keeping the watch on theme.
Other design details that translate from the greater Railmaster collection include the crosshatch in the center of the dial, usage of 3, 6, 9, and 12 numerals, and conical crown. One choice that didn't make it from last year's watch is the always-controversial, faux-aged lume. This time around, Omega used a light-gray Super-LumiNova application on the recessed hour markers and stainless steel hands.
Along with the authentic denim strap that features leather on its underside, there's the choice of a stainless steel bracelet. Both options look attractive enough and it's going to boil down to how much denim you would actually want on your timepiece, which, to be quite frank, is not the most typical deciding factor in a watch purchase.
The stainless steel watch has a diameter of 40 mm and features a wave-edged caseback with a NAIAD LOCK system. Powering the watch is the METAS-certified Master Chronometer Caliber 8806 with anti-magnetism up to 15,000 gauss.
Overall, this is a purely fun timepiece. I find the vertically-brushed, dark blue dial to complement the subtly-gray numerals and indexes and stainless steel case quite well. The denim strap is intriguing as a concept but I find it to be a bit too much with the similar dial color. The Railmaster, as a whole, is underappreciated and was one of my favorite releases of 2017 so it's nice to see Omega continue to experiment with dial variations.
Keeping in line with recent iterations of the Omega Railmaster, the "Denim" version is priced at $4,900 on its denim strap version and $5,000 on the stainless steel bracelet option.

If this watch is to commemorate a 'railroad' watch from the past it's a fraud for no 'official' railroad timepiece would ever have a face like that. Faces of official railroad watches were based on a 24 hr clock

Italian interior and industrial designer Giancarlo Piretti was born in 1940 in Bologna. He obtained his teaching degree in drawing at the Art Institute of Bologna (dates unknown), and continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 1960. From 1963 until 1970, he taught interior design at the Art Institute of Bologna.
Sometime in the 1960s, Piretti also joined Italian design company Castelli as an interior designer, creating home furniture and office furnishings. During his twelve years at Castelli, Piretti obtained numerous industrial patents for his designs, which were mostly chairs. Piretti's work for Castelli garnered the company an international reputation in furniture design. His most well-known design is the plastic folding Plia Chair (1968), which has sold over seven million copies since 1969 and is still in production. It won the BIO 5 distinction and the SMAU prize at the Ljubljana Biennial in 1971, Germany's Gute Form prize in 1973, and can be found in permanent collections in various museums world-wide, including Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia and the United States. In 1969 the complementary Plia Table was equally well-received in design circles, these revolutionary designs measured just 5 cm in depth when folded, a marvel in the 1960s.
In the late-1970s, Piretti worked with Argentine architect-designer Emilio Ambasz (b. 1943) on several award-winning designs, including the two ergonomic seating systems Vertebra (1975, winner of the Smau Industrial Design Award in 1979) and Dorsal (1981). From 1984 to 1986 Piretti worked for Castilia, a firm that was part of the Castelli group, that specialized in the production of home furniture characterized by functional and aesthetic systems.
In 1988, Piretti revealed The Piretti Collection in Chicago, which included over 50 different office chairs and seating styles. It is still manufactured by various licensees around the world. The collection, which has won several prizes including the UBD, the ASID, the Compasso d'Oro and the G-Mark, was designed to respond to the specific needs of each individual user. In 1997, the collection reached the milestone of one million chairs sold. Today, they have sold more than two-and-a-half million pieces from the collection.
Other well-known design include the DCS 106 Stacking Chair (1965); Plona Lounge Chair (1969); Alky Chair (1970s); Plantone Folding Desk (1970); Plano (1971, Gold Medal IBD); Planto Coat Rack (1972); the System 61 modular sofa system (1973); Xylon Chair (1992, two G Mark Awards 1994); and the Torsion Seating Collection (1995-6, G Mark Award 1997).
Today, Piretti lives and works in Bologna with his son, designer Alessandro Piretti.
Italian design company Castelli began dates from 1877 when Ettore Castelli founded a small workshop in Bologna. In 1939, the firm was renamed Anonima Castelli and began producing modern office furniture for which the brand is best known on the vintage market. It is recognized as one of the foremost manufacturers of Italian design of the 20th century and as the producer of the iconic Plia Chair.
In the 1960s, Giancarlo Piretti (born in Bologna in 1940) joined Castelli as an interior designer. During his twelve years at Castelli, Piretti obtained numerous industrial patents and designed many now iconic models, primarily in seating design. Piretti was instrumental in establishing Castelli's international reputation, being the creator of the brand's most successful and well known designs. Undoubtedly a design classic, Piretti's plastic folding Plia Chair (1968) was exhibited at the Fiera del Mobile fair in Milan in 1967. The chair, which has sold over four million units since 1969, won the BIO 5 award at the Ljubljana Biennial in 1971, Germany's Gute Form prize in 1973 and can be found in permanent collections of museums in Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, and the United States.
Piretti's most famous designs for Castelli include the DCS 106 Stacking Chair (1965), Plona Lounge Chair (1969), Alky Chair (c. 1970), Plantone Folding Desk (1970), Plano (1971, Gold Medal IBD), Planto Coat Rack (1972), and the modular System 61 Sofa (1973)
In the late-1970s, Piretti worked with Argentinian architect-designer Emilio Ambasz (b. 1943), and the pair created the two ergonomic seating systems Vertebra (1979, winner of the Smau Industrial Design Award) and Dorsal (1981) for Castelli.
Although Castelli's legacy is often defined by its partnership with Piretti, the brand has produced work by many other talented designers including Claudio Bellini, Rodolfo Bonetto, Michele De Lucchi, Hans Ell, Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas, Gino Gamberini, Nilo Gioacchini, Enzo Mari, Charles Pollock, F.A. Porsche, Mario Ruiz, and Richard Sapper. Important designs include Sapper's Nine to Five Desk (1986, winner of a Compasso d'Oro); Pollock's Penelope Chair (1982); Porsche's Executive Office Series (1989); and Ruiz' K22 Program (2005).
Castelli received four Compasso d'Oro Awards between 1981 and 1991.
In 1992, Castelli became part of the Haworth Group. Today, Castelli specializes in producing environmentally friendly and sustainable products.

Q: Unable to create a filter on an existing lookup field Wondering whether anyone has run into this before.  I have a lookup field on one of my custom objects to the Contract object and want to add a lookup filter to that field.  According to https://emea.salesforce.com/help/pdfs/en/salesforce_filtered_lookups_cheatsheet.pdf this should be a breeze, just click Edit for that field and go to the Lookup Filter Options.  But when I click Edit, there is no section with that name on the edit screen.  Is there any gotcha for this?

A: Aahh, ran into a limitation of lookup fields, according to https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=fields_lookup_filters_notes.htm&language=en_US Contracts are not a part of the Standard Object list that can have Lookup Filters applied.
Just wanted to get that out there if anyone else runs into the same problem :)

Q: Recognize logged WP user in existing REST API I have a plugin using pre_get_post filter to hide posts depending on which user is logged. However the "parent page" selector in the WP "edit post" page uses a wp-json call to get existing pages.
This creates a big problem: logged user is not recognized and restricted posts are always hidden.
Is there a way to hook into those REST API calls (eg. wp-json/wp/v2/pages?context=edit) and pass the user nonce or any way to recognize the user?
I read a lot about the X-WP-Nonce parameter, but I'm not creating a new REST call. I need to hook in existing ones.

A: You can recognize a user by passing user-id
Example:
https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?author=1

This author parameter will recognize author posts and return those

US officials to visit India next week to give final touches to trade deal

'Very big trade deal' Photograph:( Reuters )
Commerce and Industry minister Piyush Goel was in Washington on a three-day trip from November 12 to hold talks with his American counterpart Robert Lighthizer and seek a breakthrough on some key knotty trade issues.
A US delegation will be in India next week to give final touches to the India-US trade deal, reported news agency ANi quoting sources.
The report quoting a source said that the trade talks have been very constructive and covered a wide range of issues that were pending on the table.
It's learnt that the list of important items that have been on the table have been resolved and a package is being worked upon, ANI has learnt.
On November 14, Goyal held a high-level industry interaction with business and industry representatives in New York. From D.C., the minister went to New York. The minister and his US counterpart Ambassador Robert Lighthizer also had a telephonic conversation as a follow up of the meeting.
Goyal's visit helped develop a good rapport between the minister and his counterpart resulting in mutual understanding on equitable access for both sides, sources added.
Tensions on trade front emerged between the two countries in June after US President Donald Trump revoked preferential trade privileges, in response to which India imposed tariffs on 28 US products, including almonds and apples.
India was the biggest beneficiary of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), a programme designed to help developing countries sell to US consumers.
On its part, India had also imposed retaliatory tariffs on 25 American goods, after the Donald Trump administration rescinded GSP.
