Rub the garlic vigorously on the inside of a saucepot. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and add the Emmenthal and the Gruyere to the pot. Heat until all of the cheese is melted, stirring slowly and continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the kirsch and add to the cheese mixture. Season with pepper and nutmeg, and continue to stir until the fondue is smooth. Remove the fondue from the heat and transfer into a fondue pot. Add the Stilton and fold into the fondue. Install the fondue pot in its stand and light the flame.
Serve with French bread cubes. Dip the bread in the fondue and enjoy. It is important to stir the fondue occasionally to keep it smooth.

BREAKING: SCOTUS Denies Cert In Pending 2A Cases
Posted at 10:21 am on June 15, 2020 by Cam Edwards
The Supreme Court dealt a serious blow to the future of Second Amendment litigation Monday morning by rejecting nearly a dozen Second Amendment-related cases that it had been considering in conference in recent weeks. Despite four justices announcing in the challenge to a New York City gun law that was mooted by the high court that they wanted and were ready to hear one of the many 2A cases pending before the court, today's orders take them all off the table.
Here's a quick look at the cases denied by the Supreme Court in its orders today.
Pena v. Horan is a challenge to California's microstamping law, which took effect in 2012 and has curtailed not only the availability of new models of handguns, but has caused existing models of handguns to be barred from being sold in the state.
Gould v. Lipson is a challenge to Massachusetts' carry laws.
Worman v. Healey is a challenge to the state's ban on so-called assault weapons.
Rogers v. Grewal, Cheeseman v. Polillo, and Ciolek v. New Jersey all deal with challenges to New Jersey's carry laws and "justifiable need" requirement for a carry permit.
Malpasso v. Pallozzi takes on similar requirements in the state of Maryland.
Culp v. Raoul challenges an Illinois law barring residents from 45 other states from applying for a non-resident concealed carry license, while Wilson v. Cook County takes on the Illinois county's ban on modern sporting rifles.
Mance v. Barr is a case challenging the ban on interstate sales of handguns.
Justice Clarence Thomas, joined by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, released a written dissent to the denial of the Rogers vs. Grewal case blasting his colleagues for refusing to hear the case.
It appears that a handful of States throughout the country prohibit citizens from carrying arms in public unless they can establish "good cause" or a "justifiable need" for doing so. The majority of States, while regulating the carrying of arms to varying degrees, have not imposed such a restriction, which amounts to a "[b]a[n] on the ability of most citizens to exercise an enumerated right."
The Courts of Appeals are squarely divided on the constitutionality of these onerous "justifiable need" or "good cause" restrictions. The D. C. Circuit has held that a law limiting public carry to those with a "good reason to fear injury to [their] person or property" violates the Second Amendment.
By contrast, the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Circuits have upheld the constitutionality of licensing schemes with "justifiable need" or "good reason" requirements, applying what purported to be an intermediate scrutiny standard. "One of this Court's primary functions is to resolve 'important matter[s]' on which the courts of appeals are 'in conflict.'" The question whether a State can effectively ban most citizens from exercising their fundamental right to bear arms surely qualifies as such a matter. We should settle the conflict among the lower courts so that the fundamental protections set forth in our Constitution are applied equally to all citizens.
Why didn't the Supreme Court take a single one of these cases, given the fact that we know there were four justices in favor of hearing a Second Amendment-related challenge? The most obvious answer is that the four justices were unconvinced that they would have a fifth and deciding vote to uphold the right to keep and bear arms. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the majority in both the Heller and McDonald decisions, but it could be that there are doubts among the conservative wing of the Court as to how Roberts would rule in a future case.
It may also be that while justices like Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh all agree that a Second Amendment-related case needs to be heard, the four simply couldn't agree on which case or cases should get the nod from the Court.
We don't know for sure, because the Supreme Court is one of the last remaining leak-proof institutions in Washington, D.C., but I'd say that for now, the theory that Roberts is a question mark or has indicated opposition to these 2A cases is the most likely theory.
We'll have much more on today's decision, and what it means for the future of Second Amendment jurisprudence coming up on Bearing Arms' Cam & Co. this afternoon, so be sure to tune in for more analysis of today's incredibly disappointing decision by the Supreme Court.

Nexcare™ Acne Absorbing Covers work like a sponge to absorb pus and oil from acne blemishes. Simply peel a cover off the liner and place it over the blemish -- no messy creams to work with. The cover even turns white when all the oil has been absorbed, giving you a visible sign that it's working. Nexcare Acne Covers work on a variety of skin types and are a drug-free, non-drying way to absorb oil from clogged pores. They act as a protective cover, reducing the urge to squeeze or pick at a blemish. They are breathable and comfortable to wear. Each package of Nexcare Acne Absorbing Covers contains 36 covers, in two sizes to best fit your needs.
1. Cleanse your face and hands well. Gently pat dry with a clean towel. 2. Peel open the Nexcare™ Acne Cover pouch. Center one cover on the blemish. 3. Gently press the edges of the cover with clean and dry fingers for better adhesion. 4. Change your cover daily. Once the cover changes to white, oily secretion has been absorbed. Replace the cover with a new one. 5. Keep unused covers in the plastic pouch. 6. If wearing makeup, apply the cover first.


What I got for my birthday..
Middle Sister has figured out that ladies like to get roses! So since she couldn't drive to the store to buy me one she made one – with a green colored pencil for a 'stem' and then taped a red pom-pom on top for the 'flower'. Along with the note, what Mother could ask for more?! I loved it.
Dishcloths made by my Grandma. These are my favorites! The foil fan was on top of my gift from Mom and the feather was also from my Mom.
I found this nativity after Christmas in the after-Christmas-sale stuff. My Mom got it and saved it for my birthday. Thanks Mom!
Feather found a home in this little vignette.
A very good friend brought this stuff by! Thanks Jessica:) Middle Sister talked me out of one of the little notebooks and all three girls are enjoying the soap. They say it smells like something Kara would have at her house. So I guess Jessica has great taste:) I do have to say it smells heavenly!!!
leather bracelet on my blog…head over to enter!
Happy birthday! Little love notes from kiddos are the cutest! My mother is/was a Kindergarten teacher and always came home with the cutest little notes. So precious.
Thanks for sharing — happy birthday again!

Forced out
December 22, 2021 - Richard Dal Monte
Nicole Bates-Eamer. Credit: UVic Photo Services
When Canadians think of people being forced out of their homes and communities due to climate change, it's likely they think of small island nations, drought-afflicted regions and historic flood zones, all far, far away. But such displacements are happening much closer to home.
In the last year alone, thousands of British Columbians have been evacuated from their communities due to wildfires and flooding, most recently in November, when a series of atmospheric rivers hit huge swaths of the province and raging floodwaters knocked out major roads, resulting in the tragic loss of lives.
"These extreme floods and wildfires will keep happening more frequently," says Nicole Bates-Eamer, a PhD candidate in UVic's Department of Political Science and lead author on a report for the Climate Displacement Planning Initiative (CDPI) in partnership with the university's Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) and Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS).
"Displacement is a function of the type of hazard, people's exposure to that hazard and people's ability to cope or to be resilient to that hazard," she explains, adding the hardest hit are often vulnerable populations.
- Nicole Bates-Eamer
For instance, the research project confirmed that Indigenous communities are disproportionately affected by disasters for a variety of reasons, including the remoteness of a community, isolation in fire-prone areas and lack of emergency services as well as the legacy of colonialism that affects trust and collaboration with government officials during emergency responses.
In addition to Indigenous communities, climate change disproportionately affects women, communities of colour, low-income families and those who already face economic and social challenges. Equity in adaptation planning means some communities and individuals require more services and more resources to achieve equal outcomes, and their needs must come first.
While the research focused on these subjects through a displacement lens, the organizations Bates-Eamer and other researchers spoke with—including all levels of government, community groups, Indigenous leaders and think tanks—kept talking about social issues.
"BC must make people more resilient in place, which means addressing poverty, marginalization, housing, job opportunities and issues of equity because it's often the same segments of the population that are impacted by these events," she says.
One possible solution is to identify and mitigate risks before disasters occur. This could include a "planned relocation," which would have people in areas commonly affected by floods and fires leaving their neighbourhoods or communities—a usually unattractive option given people's attachments to their homes. In a changing climate, the study states, people may need to adapt their ways of thinking to normalize the idea that mobility is a natural response.
And such adaptations are needed, Bates-Eamer says, noting, "The climate adaptation policy side is lagging way behind the mitigation side, so a lot of our efforts and a huge portion of the funding have focused on mitigation, which we definitely need.
We're more than 30 years late on mitigation; let's not be 30 years too late on adaptation. It needs to happen now, it needs to happen in Canada."
Climate Change Displacement – Mapping the BC Context, a partnership between CFGS and CDPI with funding from PICS, was conceived in the aftermath of BC's 2017 and 2018 wildfire seasons.
Bates-Eamer, who is completing her PhD on how the intersections of climate change and human mobility are framed in Canada and the implications of such framings for policy, worked on the project with George Benson, co-founder of CDPI, and Oliver Schmidtke, director at CFGS and a professor in political science and history at UVic.
The project aimed to understand the key issues and groups related to climate mobility in BC to engage governments, businesses, and community groups in the issue. The final report identified potential research questions to address knowledge gaps and priorities for action.
Additionally, the report notes: "Around the world, far more people are displaced every year by disasters and extreme weather than by conflict. Over the last decade, more than 200 million people have been displaced by such events. This includes thousands of Canadians; and in recent years, wildfires and floods displaced tens of thousands of British Columbians.
"The numbers of British Columbians who will be displaced in the future is impossible to know, but greater understanding of how climate change will impact specific communities is key to augmenting resiliency and adaptive capacities in those communities."

Tekken 6 is a fighting game developed and published by Bandai Namco Games. It is the seventh main instalment in the Tekken franchise. It was released in Japanese arcades on November 26, 2007, as the first game running on the PlayStation 3-based System 357 arcade board
"The King of Iron Fist tournament 5 came to a close. The final battle was the sponsor of the tournament, Jinpachi Mishima, from which Jin Kazama came away from the victory.
Becoming the president of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin immediately began various programs within the company and converted the Tekkenshu into a spy project. People began to suspect a darkness in Jin, leading to increased tension, infighting and finally a full-scale war.
The whole world was drawn in, and when the nations began losing power, the Zaibatsu, able to gain a profit from the potential of war, announced its independence and declared war on the entire world.
Initially, the Mishima Zaibatsu was a formidable enemy, but then G Corporation rose to the position of the main opposition to the Zaibatsu. The world saw the rival company as the saviour and endorsed them completely in their drive to suppress the Zaibatsu.
Eventually, G-Corporation announced that the president of the Mishima Zaibatsu was the root cause of the war and promises an immense amount of money to anyone who can capture Jin Kazama alive.
But almost as if anticipating this move, the Mishima Zaibatsu announced the opening of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. People may enter to gain fame, money and (unintelligible). In the midst of this chaos, the curtains rise on the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6."

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful things in a woman's lifetime. As a mother, the journey of bringing a new life into this world is a very emotional and overwhelming experience. You nurture and nourish a life inside your womb for a good nine long months and then one fine day, this little angel gets to feel, see, cry and breathe. Although your baby has just been introduced to the world, it will have to eventually get accustomed to the surroundings. This beautiful life in your arms needs all the love and cuddling at this stage. You have to be extra cautious in protecting your new-born's cotton soft skin against rashes, sun burn, allergies and drying up. We will see how to protect your baby from the sun.
In early stages, while your baby is a little more than 6 months old, optimum exposure to the sun is required. If your baby is less than 6 months old and would require sunlight, your doctor should provide you the guidelines. The early morning sun is often considered the best as it is not harmful and harsh. It is necessary so as to provide sufficient vitamin D to the soft bones to facilitate development. However, over-exposure to the sun has adverse effects on the bay resulting in skin irritation and dehydration.
Babies have delicate skin which is vulnerable and are prone to damages if not taken extra care. To screen out the harsh UVA/UVB rays it is always advised to opt for a broad-spectrum lotion. More the SPF value more the protection. Ideally, you can invest on a SPF15+ sunblock. Key rule is to slather 20 minutes before stepping out and re-apply every 2-3 hours.
You should always be very careful about brands and ingredients while picking baby products. As your baby's skin is very sensitive, always do a small skin test on your hand first before applying any lotion/product onto your baby. PABA (Para-Amino Benzoic) is one such ingredient that can be a reason for skin irritation/allergy.
When your baby is basking in the sun, make sure you have a thin cotton scarf always covered on your baby. The scarf or cotton cloth needs to be big enough to cover the baby entirely. But, yes babies are fidgety. They would not let the scarf stay on them for long. So, this works fine when your little bundle of joy is asleep. The scarf is necessary even when taking your baby out for the walk in a pram, on the beach, or even when you are travelling by car.
You always have to be very watchful while your baby is enjoying the sun. If the baby seems fussy or irritated, then it must an overdose of the sun. So, before your baby's skin shows any sign of sun damage, get your little brat under shade.
Babies are less susceptible to the sun during the early morning hours especially between 6 a.m to 10 a.m. In the morning the sun rays are subtle and comparatively gentle and thereby perfect for vitamin D intake. Substitute the traditional method of carrying your baby for morning walks with the conventional pushchairs which makes it a happy stroll for both the baby and the parent. If you are looking out for a comfortable and compact stroller with delightful offers, Mothercare.com can find you one. Its wide range of pushchairs and travelling accessories will take care of all your necessities.
If by any chance you happen to notice sun burns, red skin, rashes or blisters, then you should immediately apply a soothing ointment on the affected area. Ayurvedic or natural remedies work best for this, but again one should get guidance from the expert. Doctors should always be consulted for they know what would be apt for your little one.
Natural agents like coconut oil, aloe Vera gel, milk, olive oil and honey are brilliant soothing agents. You can just dab a cotton ball in a bowl of milk and apply on the affected area. One can also make use of pulverized oatmeal on the burns to reduce the swelling. Cornstarch and baking soda are also proved to be efficient when it comes to soothing baby's skin.
Bathing your baby with tepid water is the first crucial step the moment you observe any rashes or redness of the skin. If your baby is suffering from sunburns, try using cool towel to soothe the affected area and make sure to treat the skin as gentle as possible. Bathwater with vinegar can also enhance the healing process and reduce the inflammation. Always go for a gentle dabbing instead of rubbing the delicate skin.
Keeping your baby hydrated all day can pave way for its healthy growth. Though newborns get all the water they require from breast milk, babies after 6 months they do need a regular water intake. The Best way to balance your baby's diet is to use formula along with water providing the baby all the necessary supplements they need.
You should never use ice, cold water, petroleum-based products and antiseptics products such as benzocaine or alcohol on the sunburnt area. Also, never cut the soft skin of swelled up blisters as this could invite infections. Though there are many traditional therapies doing the rounds, it is wise to consult a paediatrician or your family doctor if you find the condition serving.
The tips when followed aptly can not only keep your baby safe from cruel sun rays but can also keep it happy and enjoy the season with least or no negative effects.

False Necessitarian Ideology
"We can establish universally an education that recognizes in every child a tongue-tied prophet, and in the school the voice of the future, and that equips the mind to think beyond and against the established context of thought and of life as well as to move within it. We can develop a democratic politics that renders the structure of society open in fact to challenge and reconstruction, weakening the dependence of change on crisis and the power of the dead over the living. We can make the radical democratization of access to the resources and opportunities of production the touchstone of the institutional reorganization of the market economy, and prevent the market from remaining fastened to a single version of itself. We can create policies and arrangements favorable to the gradual supersession of economically dependent wage work as the predominant form of free labor, in favor of the combination of cooperation and self-employment. We can so arrange the relation between workers and machines that machines are used to save our time for the activities that we have not yet learned how to repeat and consequently to express in formulas. We can reshape the world political and economic order so that it ceases to make the global public goods of political security and economic openness depend upon submission to an enforced convergence to institutions and practices hostile to the experiments required to move, by many different paths, in such a direction"
Roberto Mangabeira Unger is a Brazilian philosopher and politician. He has developed his views and positions across many fields including legal theory, philosophy and religion, social and political theory, progressive alternatives, and economics.
Unger's social theory is premised on the idea of classical social theory that society is an artifact and can be created and recreated. Whereas previous thinkers such as Hegel or Marx backslid at some point and held onto the notion that there was a necessary institutional or historical social development, Unger, in the words of one critic, seeks to "take the idea to the hilt and produce a theory of emancipation that will escape the limitations of liberal and Marxist theories." That limitation is the search for an ideal structure of society that can be foreseen and centrally planned; whereas the emancipation leads to societies with greater institutional flexibility and variation.
For Unger, society emerges not through compromise or the winnowing down of best options, but rather through conflict and struggle for control of political and material resources. The victors of this struggle come to set the terms of social interaction and transaction, which is then institutionalized through law. This emergent order Unger calls formative context. Under a particular formative context, routines are established and people come to believe and act as if their social words were coherent wholes that are perfectly intelligible and defensible. They come to see the existing arrangements as necessary. Unger calls this false necessity. In reality, these arrangements are arbitrary and hold together rather tenuously, which leaves them open to resistance and change. This opposition Unger calls negative capability.
This leads Unger to the conclusion that change happens piecemeal through struggle and vision, rather than suddenly in revolutionary upheaval with the replacement of one set of institutional arrangements with another. Unger theorizes that cumulative change can alter formative contexts, and he goes on to propose a number of such changes as institutional alternatives to be implemented, which he calls Empowered democracy.
Empowered democracy is Unger's vision of a more open and more plastic set of social institutions through which individuals and groups can interact, propose change, and effectively empower themselves to transform social, economic, and political structures. Unger's strategy in its realization is to combine freedom of commerce and governance at the local level with the ability of political parties at the central government level to promote radical social experiments that would bring about decisive change in social and political institutions.
In practice, the theory would involve radical developments in politics at the center, as well as social innovation in localities. At the center, by bestowing wide ranging revising powers to those in office, it would give political parties the ability to try out concrete yet profound solutions and proposals. It would turn partisan conflicts over control and uses of governmental power into an opportunity to question and revise the basic arrangements of social life through a rapid resolution of political impasse. In local communities, empowered democracy would make capital and technology available through rotating capital funds, which would encourage entrepreneurship and innovation. Citizens' rights include individual entitlements to economic and civic security, conditional and temporary group claims to portions of social capital, and destabilization rights, which would empower individuals or groups to disrupt organizations and practices marred by routines of subjugation that normal politics have failed to disrupt.
Unger's ideas developed in a context where young intellectuals and radicals attempted to reconcile the conventional theories of society and law being taught in university classrooms with the reality of social protest and revolution of the 1960s and 70s. Disillusioned with Marxism, they turned to thinkers like Levi-Strauss, Gramsci, Habermas, and Foucault in attempt to situate understandings of law and society as a benign science of technocratic policy within a broader system of beliefs that legitimized the prevailing social order. Unlike Habermas, however, who formulates procedures for attaining rational consensus, Unger locates resolution in institutions and their arrangements that remain perpetually open to revision and reconstruction. And, unlike Foucault, who also emphasizes the constructed character of social life, Unger takes this as an opportunity to reimagine institutions and social conditions that will unleash human creativity and enable liberation.
False necessity, or anti-necessitarian social theory, is a contemporary social theory that argues for the plasticity of social organizations and their potential to be shaped in new ways. The theory rejects the assumption that laws of change govern the history of human societies and limit human freedom. It is a critique of "necessitarian" thought in conventional social theories (like liberalism or Marxism) which hold that parts of the social order are necessary or the result of the natural flow of history. The theory rejects the idea that human societies must be organized in a certain way (for example, liberal democracy) and that human activity will adhere to certain forms (for example if people were only motivated by rational self-interest).
False necessity uses structural analysis to understand socio-political arrangements, but discards the tendency to assemble indivisible categories and to create law-like explanations. It aims to liberate human activity from necessary arrangements and limitations, and to open up a world without constraints where the possible becomes actual.
The theory of false necessity develops the idea that the organization of society is made and can be remade—we can rebel against the worlds we have built; we can interrupt our rebellions and establish ourselves in any of those worlds. By emphasizing the disembodiment of institutional and social structures, the theory provides a basis to explain ourselves and our world without using necessitarian thought or predetermined institutional arrangements.
At the extreme, the theory of false necessity criticizes and thus unifies strands of the radical tradition. It frees leftist and liberal ideals from institutional fetishism, and emancipates modernist ideals from structural fetishism. The theory further detaches the radical commitment from utopian claims and provides a theoretical basis for transformative action. That transformative action, Unger believes, does not have to be a complete overhaul or total revolution, but rather is "a piecemeal but cumulative change in the organization of society". The key to the project, in the words of one critic, "is to complete the rebellion against the naturalistic fallacy (that is, the confusion of accident with essence and contingency with necessity) and to effect an irrevocable emancipation from false necessity".
The problem of false necessity arises due to the failure of transformative practice to realize its stated aim. This can take form in three different scenarios:
the ideals fought for (democracy, decentralization, technical coordination, etc.) result in the development of rigid institutions
an oligarchy effect in which groups and rulers clash at the summit of power and drum up popular support
the survival effect in which there is a fear of disturbance of contemporary arrangements.
Unger points to mass politics as a means to counter oligarchy and group identity. However, if these forms are only disturbed and not destroyed, democracy is limited and becomes a quarrel about forms of power and seizing advantage. Likewise, enlarged economic rationality provides another source of emancipation by shifting economic and social relations in the ability to constantly innovate and renew.
The radical project
Fundamental Principles of False Necessitarian Theory:
All superstructure, i.e. culture, religion, politics, economic modes are human created "artifacts".
All existing human practical and visionary conflict which is then frozen or contained incorrectly informs us that only a liberal, conservative or socialist program exists.
There is no "closed list of structures and systems", there has never been one homogenous pure system.
An "illusion of indivisibility" which states one whole system has to be fully replaced as a whole, has been historically disproven.
There are no proven "historical rules" for transition between systems, but it has been bloody and disastrous when this occurs.
Radical projects can be visionary and piecemeal without being "reformist or trivial". System hybrids can and should exist.
Humanization via "compensatory redistrabation via tax and transfer" is the liberal project, the Socialist project is to revise and humanize the disasters of Socialism as it existed in the 20th and 21st century. The Conservative project is to preserve the current order.
This leaves no role for "programmatic imagination". All solutions are thus derided as "utopian, or trivial."
A Radical Project for "Empowered Democracy" would seek legislative capture to initiate piecemeal radical projects thus proving them without major loss of life or state expense.
The most dangerous of the conservative impulses are facism, a total freeze or theocracy, a religiously imposed order.

Homage/Part 1/Chapter 1


We designed the Chimalong® to help children develop creativity at an early age. When our two daughters were young, I found little on the market that would inspire them to learn music, so I decided to create a metallophone from musically tuned Woodstock Chime tubes, and the Chimalong was born. Little did we know that celebrities like Jim Henson would endorse the instrument for its educational value. It was amazing to meet with Jim and hear him say that this instrument was a great musical vehicle for children to not only learn but to experience and have fun with music. The Chimalong has earned many awards and endorsements since then, and has been a customer favorite for 30 years and counting!
Here is a short video that tells the story of how, back in the early '80s, I developed something for our children that helped them grow from a very young age to a level of creativity that has had a profound effect on their lives. We have heard from so many people who grew up with this instrument, who confirmed what a great influence it was on their early development. They tell us that they are now sharing that with their children. I feel quite flattered but old!

When we first picked up on Girls early last summer, they were just a small buzz band with a killer song which no one could ignore. Then it turned out that 'Lust for Life' wasn't an outlier, instead it was just the opener on a great string of songs from one of the best debut albums of last year, Album, our eighth favourite album of that year.
They seem to be touring non-stop and their next visit to Toronto will bring Christopher Owens and Chet "JR" White to the Phoenix this Friday, April 9 with Dum Dum Girls. To win two tickets to this show, send an email to contests@cavacool.com with "I wish I had a boyfriend" in the subject line and your full name in the body of the email. This contest closes April 8 at midnight.
Then I could go to the concert on April 9.
I hope that Jan won for that awesome rhyme.

mDhil was founded in 2009 as a social enterprise to create and distribute accurate health information for Indian mobile users. Our first services were SMS subscriptions sold via mobile carrier partners including Airtel, Idea Cellular, and Tata Docomo. mDhil expanded into syndicated web content and powered the Health & Wellness sections for Yahoo, MSN, and other portals across India, S.E. Asia, and the Middle East.
By 2012 mDhil was extensively focused on video services to disseminate information about birth control, women's health, diabetes management, yoga exercise, and other relevant health topics. The company was an early adopter of the YouTube creator platform in India, building a studio and library of over 1,800 videos across a network of 12 YouTube channels. By mid-2015, mDhil reached an average of 3 million video viewers a month on our website, YouTube channels, and mobile partners.
The mDhil team was fortunate to earn distinct honors and was asked to present our social impact work at global conferences like SXSW, TED, YouTube FanFest India, Health 2.0 San Francisco, and SOCAP. A company highlight included the Google Innovation Karnataka award in March 2013 with an accompanying article by Eric Schmidt in the Times of India.
Over the 7 years of mDhil's operations, the company raised less than $2M of venture funding - the business was grown via operational cash flow and spartan management of company capital. In late 2015 the company's lead investor decided to sell the business - shortly thereafter, the entire team elected to pursue new career opportunities.

Legendary Leader Ernest Shackleton's ship discovered in Antartica
See the report on the discovery of Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, after researchers found it recently in Antarctica.
lundi 14 mars Il y a 11 mois
More than a century ago, legendary explorer Ernest Shackleton sailed from England with the goal of becoming the first explorer to cross Antartica. He never reached it, however, as his ship became stuck in a massive block of ice, where it stayed for more than 2 months. Remarkably, Shackleton's entire crew survived. Leading his men with compassion and bravery, Shackleton and his crew escaped and were able to return to England. The ship however, stayed behind, hidden until recently.

Q: Beginner Oracle SQL Count Function Multiple columns I am going through a practice worksheet with questions and expected outputs. The last question is proving to be difficult for me to grasp. Can anyone help please.
Question
Create a query to display the total number of employees and, of that total,
the number of employees hired in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Expected output format
Total 2005 2006 2007 2008
107   29   24   19   11

The following are my attempts to get the results with separate queries
TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY')
SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "Total"
FROM employees;

SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "2005"
FROM employees
WHERE TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') LIKE '2005' GROUP BY TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') ;

SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "2006"
FROM employees
WHERE TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') LIKE '2006' GROUP BY TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') ;

SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "2007"
FROM employees
WHERE TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') LIKE '2007' GROUP BY TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') ;

SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "2008"
FROM employees
WHERE TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') LIKE '2008' GROUP BY TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') ;

Any help producing the result as one query is greatly appreciated.

A: To put these in columns, use conditional aggreagtaion:
select count(*) as Total,
       sum(case when to_char(hire_date, 'yyyy') = '2005' then 1 else 0 end) as "2005",
       sum(case when to_char(hire_date, 'yyyy') = '2006' then 1 else 0 end) as "2006",
       sum(case when to_char(hire_date, 'yyyy') = '2007' then 1 else 0 end) as "2007",
       sum(case when to_char(hire_date, 'yyyy') = '2008' then 1 else 0 end) as "2008"
from employees
where to_char(hire_date, 'yyyy') in ('2005', 2006', '2007', '2008')

A: You are trying to pivot the data, so you can use your existing query but add a CASE expression inside of the aggregate:
SELECT COUNT(employee_id) AS "Total",
    sum(case when TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') = '2005' then 1 else 0 end) "2005",
    sum(case when TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') = '2006' then 1 else 0 end) "2006",
    sum(case when TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') = '2007' then 1 else 0 end) "2007",
    sum(case when TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') = '2008' then 1 else 0 end) "2008"
FROM employees;

Depending on your version of Oracle, you might be able to use the PIVOT function:
select *
from
(
  select count(*) over() Total,
    TO_CHAR(hire_date,'YYYY') Year
  from employees
)
pivot
(
    count(Year)
    for Year in ('2005', '2006', '2007', '2008')
)

See Demo of both queries

Music-Related, Pop Heaven, Single Review Audio
#PopGospel Correction Notice highlights a song or artist who has previously been slept on by the powers that be up in #PopHeaven. #ThePopGods wish to offer their most sincere apologies for previous ignorance or stubborn, unjustified snubbings, and to extend an invitation in to the Church of Pop.
Sincerely, Management.
Recently, a new friend and I were discussing our tastes in music, something I have come to feel is a defining moment in the evolution of any interpersonal relationship, and he mentioned an artist I had never heard of: Kevin Drew (a.k.a. KDrew).
Said friend and I are considering a song collaboration, and being that this Kevin Drew was an influence of his I decided I would look him up and give a listen. While I have to admit I was fairly impressed with all of the tracks I listened to, there was one that stood out for me; not only for the fact that my friend recommended this one outright, but also because of it's many merits.
Drew's "Last Train to Paradise" is a vast, 5:46 EDM production that sweeps through several movements. It's soft melodies, soaring harmonies, energizing builds and pounding beats hover somewhere between pop and rock, but rock in an 80's hair rock kind of way. It has a certain, charming flamboyance and an infectious energy that is almost other worldly. I am to understand that Drew both produces and provides the vocals on this track, a rarity among the big label producer types his independently-released work basically decimates.
Take a listen to "Last Train to Paradise!" I'd love to hear what you think; if you have comments, leave em! 🙂

So about that Miami
10 Mar 2021 | News Roundup
For some reason the claim that Miami is going under is trending again. Unlike the reality. Indeed the whole notion of accelerating sea level rise is under extreme downward pressure, not least because of a new paper that, after a determined attempt to push attention levels to record lows, finally blurts out that in the UK there was a considerable increase in the rate of sea level increase around the turn of the century. But it was the last century, after which it settled down and has not accelerated. And if the Atlantic isn't getting deeper on the eastern side, it probably isn't on the western side either.
We do not blame the paper for being dry in its methodology. Too many academics seem to equate readability with superficiality as a general principle. But in this politicized field in particular it's increasingly dangerous to come right out and say "Hey, the seas aren't rising faster".
Since Willis Eschenbach and Watts Up With That suffer no such inhibitions, Eschenbach charts both the trends from 1830 to 1890 then 1890 through 2010 and the year-by-year rate change. Here's the latter.
Oh my. It doesn't take a PhD in math or "climate science" to see that it's a pretty variable phenomenon that is trending down not up especially after about 1990 when it's meant to be rising relentlessly prodded by the CO2. Stupid ocean.
Stand by for a new announcement that global warming meant declining rates of sea level rise and they knew it all along. They just didn't tell us. Or themselves, which is why they bought all those mansions by the beach. Or something.

I love the big chart.
Jack Dale says:
The northern part of the UK is subject to isostatic rebound while the southern portion is sinking. That makes the WUWT "study" highly suspect.
http://www.torybush.com/wp-content/uploads/516px-Post-glacial_rebound_in_British_Isles.png
A new study, published by University of Hawai'i (UH) at Mānoa earth scientists, is the first to provide direct evidence that tidally-driven groundwater inundation of wastewater infrastructure is occurring today in urban Honolulu, Hawai'i. The study shows that higher ocean water levels are leading to wastewater entering storm drains and the coastal ocean—creating negative impacts to coastal water quality and ecological health.

Chapter 0001 - The Down and Out Young Master and the Commoner School Girl
"Pop!"
The basketball in Xiao Chen's hand was slapped away, and with it, a cheer and applause from the audience, but the applause was incomparably harsh in Xiao Chen's ears.
Cap! This almost humiliating way to take the ball, so Xiao Chen stared at Chen Jinpeng, gasping for breath!
Inner strength! Chen Jinpeng actually used internal energy privately!
Martial artists would not use internal energy under normal circumstances, so if they used internal energy in an ordinary friendly basketball match, what was the point? Unless the opponent takes the initiative to provoke, otherwise, martial artists generally do not care to use internal energy to bully people.
Xiao Chen looked at Chen Jinpeng, who passed by his side and then snatched the basketball away, with a sullen face, and he even forgot about his swollen palm! This is his own former little brother ah, actually in the ball game on his own yin hands?
"Duh--"
With a whistle that time was up, there was another cheer outside the arena as Chen Jinpeng made a last-minute shot!
It was internal strength again! Only Xiao Chen could see that from such a distance, with Chen Jinpeng's strength, if he wanted to shoot successfully, he had to use his inner strength!
"Chen Jinpeng ...... you are very good ......" even if Xiao Chen's mental quality is very strong, but the successive blows, but still make his chest heaving, angry!
"What are you looking at? You still think you're the former Young Master Xiao, huh? You've been kicked out of the family, why don't you find a place to hide, and actually run to the court to look for abuse, you really think you're a ball god, huh? If I hadn't been playing infernal affairs, using money to buy off my teammates to lose to you on purpose, what do you think you are?" Chen Jinpeng looked at Xiao Chen derisively and playfully, that gaze was high and superior, just like looking at a mole.
"Fake ball, huh? No wonder we lost so badly, I thought Xiao Chen was really a ball god, but it turned out to be a fake!" Xiao Chen's teammates at this moment listened to Chen Jinpeng's words, seemed to understand something and began to sneer and crusade.
"Scum ah, keep playing fake ball, I say today Xiao Chen technology how so bad, one after another by Chen Jinpeng break the ball, really a big trash!"
If it was in the past, these people really did not dare to do anything to Xiao Chen, although Xiao Chen is currently attending an aristocratic school, these people's families are also rich or noble, but compared to the Xiao family, one of the four families in Songning City, it is really a world of difference!
However, now that Xiao Chen has been expelled from the Xiao family, and is still a thorn in the side of the Cheng family, the head of the four great families, these people do not care whether what Chen Jinpeng said is true or not, they all follow the voice to echo!
Xiao Chen coldly looked at the people on the court, but had nothing to say, could he say to them that Chen Jinpeng's ball skills were actually inferior to his own, and that he could win only because he used his internal energy?
But, who would believe it? How many of these people know about the internal energy? Even if they did, who could stand up for themselves at this moment? He is no longer the young master of the Xiao family, the son of the young master of the Xiao family, the former youngest brother, stepped on his head ......
"Heh ......" Xiao Chen shook his head, why? Why was he still driven out of the Xiao family? It's because, can't you practice internal energy? But since childhood, all these years Xiao Chen's hard work, and who will see it?
Xiao Chen was the only son of Xiao Feng, the young master of the Xiao family, but because of his physique, he was never able to cultivate internal energy.
Over the years, Xiao Chen has withstood tremendous pressure, the heirs of the four great families, none of them is an excellent martial artist, only a martial artist, can be able to overpower the herd and push a family to a higher level.
In front of people, Xiao Chen had to act like a fop young master, squandering money like dirt, only in this way, to preserve themselves, a waste of the heir, but also the other three large families and five small families happy to see things.
No ability to preserve themselves, they must make others feel that they are harmless to them.
After the people, but a dozen years as hard as a ri cultivation, every late at night, in the basement of Xiao Chen's room in the Xiao family, there will be the sound of exercise, but Xiao Chen's efforts have not been rewarded by the heavens.
His father disappeared, he was driven out of the family, was withdrawn from the Cheng family, and he, still a scum with no ability to defend himself!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, regardless of whether he used to behave harmlessly or not, at this moment, the Cheng family's elder hated him, and that people who had fallen into the well abounded.
The basketball game is over, the people around have dispersed, those who hold the stinky feet of the Chen family have surrounded Chen Jinpeng and went to celebrate together.
"Xiao ...... Xiao Chen." A somewhat nervous, but nice voice, accompanied by a beautiful silhouette, appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
It was a young girl wearing a school uniform that was unusually plain, but all of this could not conceal her natural beauty.
"Lin Ke'er?" Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised to look at this young girl in front of him, who was known as the commoner school flower, and of course she was also the object of Xiao Chen's pursuit and sāo in the past.
In fact, to say the least, Xiao Chen can be considered as Lin Ke'er's savior, Lin Ke'er was molested by hooligans in the alley behind the school, just when Xiao Chen who was passing by saw it, so he instructed Chen Jinpeng to beat up those hooligans, and thus staged such a heroic rescue scene.
Originally, Lin Ke'er is still very grateful to Xiao Chen, but what I did not expect is that the next day Xiao Chen began to pursue Lin Ke'er in school, love letters, roses so that only want to study Lin Ke'er some collapse.
So, can only avoid Xiao Chen.
The good thing is that Xiao Chen just pretend dude, but also did not make what excessive things to do.
However, Lin Ke'er took the initiative to come to himself, still made Xiao Chen a little stunned.
"I ...... I heard that you were kicked out of the family ...... and ...... and also withdrawn from the marriage... ... "Lin Ke'er face s red, stumbling speech, breathing a little shortness of breath: "But ...... you do not sad and self-loathing la, you work hard now, study hard, later can also be outstanding ...... that ...... that time, I ...... I can ...... can let you chase ...... chase me ......"
After saying this, Lin Ke'er seems to have used up all her strength, her forehead also emerged fine sweat, jing face, covered with scarlet, lowered her head, did not dare to look at Xiao Chen again, turned around and ran away ...... fast.
Looking at the distant Lin Ke'er, Xiao Chen could not help but smile bitterly, sighing Lin Ke'er this chick's naivety and kindness at the same time, but also had to lament, these years, this dude pretended to be quite like? Could it be that she thought she would not be able to think about it?
Just, let Xiao Chen does not know is that the school, has begun a small-scale circulation of a rumor! And Lin Ke'er is heard this rumor, only to pluck up the courage to come to Xiao Chen.
This for the simple Lin Ke'er, how much courage to pay to say these words? ;

Building a reinforced concrete arch is a more efficient use of material than the standard beam design found in reinforced concrete box culverts.
Changing the shape of a structure from a beam to an arch puts the concrete in compression. This method allows us to do more while using less concrete & reinforcing steel. A Hydro-Arch solution may reduce the materials needed by as much as 20 – 30%.
The roots of Hydro-Arch originate from the shotcrete and gunite industry of the late 70's and 80's in Southern California. With over 30 years of experience, we have developed techniques that eliminate the need for double-sided forming and reduce traditional forming costs by 50%.
From the very beginning, the Hydro-Arch philosophy has been based on the use of large reusable forms. This approach allows us to reuse forms over and over again, eliminating the need to construct a new form for every project and as a result, reducing costs. By maintaining a large inventory, we are able to build projects faster than any other arch company.
Unlike precast products, cast-in-place arch culverts eliminate multiple loads of heavy expensive delivery costs. Arch forms are light enough to be placed with forklifts as opposed to expensive cranes often required for precast products.
Every Hydro-Arch project is designed using the latest in finite element design software. Each design is project specific, eliminating over-designed sections which do not apply to your needs.

IT companies drive office space demand
3 min read . Updated: 26 Feb 2013, 09:28 PM IST Unnikrishnan S
In 2009, the BFSI (Banking, Financial services and Insurance) sector occupied 48% of total 'grade A' office space but more than halved to 21% in 2012. The IT sector, on the other hand, saw its occupancy grow 22% in 2012 compared to 15% in 2011, according to the report.
(In 2009, the BFSI (Banking, Financial services and Insurance) sector occupied 48% of total 'grade A' office space but more than halved to 21% in 2012. The IT sector, on the other hand, saw its occupancy grow 22% in 2012 compared to 15% in 2011, according to the report. )
Demand for office space by information technology companies rises in Mumbai and National Capital Region
Mumbai: Information technology (IT) companies continue to rent and even buy office space in relatively cheap properties that are being constructed away from traditional commercial hubs even as the sector's profit growth has slowed because of weak demand in its main markets in the US and the UK.
In Mumbai, for instance, the IT services sector has even overtaken the historically dominant financial services sector in office occupancy as office space has expanded beyond south Mumbai, Bandra Kurla Complex and south central Mumbai, according to a February report by real estate consultant Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).
IT companies are the driving force behind the trend, the report said.
The JLL report states that IT companies are driving sales as demand for quality and affordable office space have been addressed over the past three years with the completion of quality office space in the suburbs and the satellite cities of Thane and Navi Mumbai. Absorption in the city's suburbs accounted for 1.45 million square metres in 2010, 2011 and 2012 together, which is double (0.71 million square meters) that of the absorption of office space in the island city in the same period.
According to Ashutosh Limaye, head of research and real estate intelligence service for JLL in India, the 'non-CBD' (Central Business District) locations are home to around 70% of Mumbai's office space and will have a major role in determining the performance of the city's office market.
The commercial real estate market of the National Capital Region (NCR), too, continues to be patronised by IT companies.
According to a February report by real estate consulting company Knight Frank the share of occupancy of IT companies rose 49% in the October-December quarter compared with 12% in the same period a year ago in the NCR region. The increase accounts for 0.66 million square feet of office space.
The manufacturing sector registered the second fastest growth at 22% in December quarter of this fiscal, from 27% a year earlier.
The peripheral business district (PBD) of Gurgaon is one of the most sought after destination in NCR, contributing nearly 43% of this supply, according to the Knight Frank report.
Most IT companies in Gurgaon are concentrated in DLF Cybercity.
Progress on infrastructure initiatives such as the metro has also worked in favour of this micro-market, the report stated, adding that some of the key space occupiers in the December quarter included companies such as Microsoft Corp. India Pvt. Ltd, IBM India Pvt. Ltd and Hewitt Associates (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Approximately 1.35 million sq. ft was transacted in the December quarter which was a 39% drop compared with the same period a year ago, according to the Knight Frank report.
The Knight Frank research revealed that IT companies occupied 67% of the total office space in Bangalore in the December quarter while Pune and Hyderabad accounted for 75% and 80%, respectively.
However, the demand for office space in most of the major cities in India has been restrained in fiscal 2013 due to uncertain global economic scenario and slowing domestic economic growth.
Samantak Das, director, research, at Knight Frank, India, said the demand for office space is expected to fall 17.6% in fiscal 2013 from a year ago. "The office market has bottomed out," he said, adding, "We will see a recovery in the second half of the next calendar year."
