Following report is from The Hindu. Although this article talks about the southern states, this also applies to Orissa and other state.
To observers of the technological education scene in Tamil Nadu, it will come as no surprise that as many as 45,062 engineering seats out of the 149,000 put up for admission through the single-window system remain vacant at the end of the counselling process. This is consistent with the pattern of recent years, not only in this State but in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra as well. Tamil Nadu has reported a marginal fall in the number of admissions — down from 112,000 last year to 104,000 in 2011 — even though the number of seats on offer has gone up by nearly 30,000. Behind these numbers lies a story of thoughtless quantitative expansion, lack of elementary attention to quality, an acute shortage of competent faculty, and parental anxiety to strike a deal with private college managements even before the single-window admissions begin. There are a handful of first-rate or very good private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, which is possibly ahead of other States in this respect. But the problem is that technological education is mostly seen as a lucrative business, with little attention paid to academic values, ideals, and good practices. Mindless of ground realities, the All India Council for Technical Education has been approving at least 50 colleges every year in the State, where the number has crossed 520, next only to Andhra Pradesh. Some years ago, the State government appealed to the AICTE to stop sanctioning new colleges, but the Council's contention was that it had no choice but to approve any proposal that fulfilled its norms.
A key reason for the high vacancy level is that students seek out institutions that have sound potential for placement. They also tend to factor in the college's academic performance, the quality of the faculty, the infrastructure on offer, and perhaps also locational attractiveness. If the problem of vacancies is to be addressed, colleges must be encouraged and indeed required to invest more in training, research, and development so that the capabilities of their students are significantly upgraded. There are positive indications that the Tamil Nadu government is thinking on these lines, but there are other issues — such as the insistence on nativity certificates for students who have passed out of school in other States, which means good students from traditional feeder States such as Bihar, Jharkhand, and Assam can be admitted only to expensive management seats — to be sorted out. There has been enough quantitative expansion for now; the strategic need is to work systematically to raise the bar.
Can India produce a home grown Nobel winner in science & technology?
Has the HRD ministry announced 10 more new IITs for India?
"The HRD ministry has announced 10 more IITs for the country. UVCE has the necessary infrastructure, expertise, faculty and students. This can be converted into an IIT with a campus at Mudenahalli," vice-chancellor N Prabhu Dev, told reporters on Friday.
The memorandum will be submitted at the mega reunion event of UVCE alumni from January 1 to 3 on the occasion of Sir Visvesvaraya's 150th anniversary.
"UVCE might remain a constituent college of BU. Even if we have to let go of the administration of UVCE when upgraded, we will not mind," he added.
A delegation headed by MR Doreswamy, member of the legislative council, is all set to meet Union law minister M Veerappa Moily to submit a memorandum seeking that an Indian Institute of Technology be set up in the state.
"We are meeting Veerappa Moily on January 2 to submit the memorandum," Doreswamy said.
As the eleventh five-year plan period ends in 2012, there is a buzz that the Union government would set up an IIT in the state in the 12th five year plan.
Sources from the ministry of human resource development said that under the 12th plan, the Centre would announce 10 more IITs. Academics from the state are keen that one of these be located in Karnataka.
Talking to DNA, Doreswamy said that the location of the institute should not become a matter of contention. "We don't mind where the institute comes up, so long as there is one in Karnataka. We are putting pressure on the Centre for many years now. Karnataka is eligible to get an IIT, but the demand has not been heeded, on the pretext that the state already has the Indian Institute of Science, an Indian Institute of Management, and a central university. This time, we will not let them pay no heed to our demand," said Doreswamy.
Since 1996, the state has attempted to get the Centre to sanction an IIT here. In 2009, the human resources development ministry had agreed in principle to the IIT in Karnataka under the 11th plan. Later, however, officials from the department claimed that there was no proposal for an IIT in Karnataka.
In the past two years, many delegations have met the Union minister for human resources development, seeking that an IIT be set up in the state. 137 MLAs from North Karnataka submitted a memorandum in this connection earlier. Doreswamy too has earlier met Union human resource development minister Kapil Sibal, and submitted a memorandum, but to no avail.
Karnataka had once before missed the IIT bus because of a controversy over its location. While the then Congress government recommended that the IIT be set up in North Karnataka, JD(S) MLA HD Revanna had opposed that plan, seeking that the IIT be located in Hassan district.
Seven years ago, a committee set up by the then prime minister to seek recommendations for setting up IITs, headed by scientist UR Rao, had recommended that an IIT come up in Karnataka, at Hubli-Dharwad.
NEW DELHI: In a pleasant surprise for students, Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal Thursday announced an increase of almost 200,000 seats in engineering courses in India.
As part of reforms in All India Council for Technical Education ( AICTE )) norms, the minister also announced additional 80,000 seats in management and 2,200 seats in architecture courses.
The norms for land requirement for engineering colleges were also liberalised, with Sibal saying that lesser space will be needed for establishing technical institutes.
While an engineering college in rural India will need 10 acres of land, just 2.5 acres of land will be needed in urban areas.

Remarks and a Question-and-Answer Session With Students at Suitland High School in Suitland, Maryland
I think I'm the reason why the program was delayed a little this morning. I was late, and the principal has told me I've got to stay after school. [Laughter] But it's an honor to be here with you to celebrate all that you've done to make this school so outstanding.
It so happens that visiting a school reminds me of something I heard just the other day. It seems that a certain little boy had reached school age, and his mother worked very hard to make him enthusiastic about the idea -- bought him new clothes, told him about the other children he would meet, got him so excited about the project that he eagerly went off on the first day, came home with excellent reports of what school was like. Well, the next morning, his mother went into the bedroom and said he had to get up, and he said, "What for?'' She said, "You've got to go to school.'' He said, "What, again?'' [Laughter]
Well, it is a pleasure to be at this wonderful school, this school that makes people want to come back. It wasn't so long ago, of course, that Suitland High School had its problems -- bad problems: low academic performance, vandalism, poor attendance by both students and teachers alike. Yet today you've turned Suitland around to make it a school noted for its strong sense of purpose and pride, harmony and, yes, academic achievement. I wonder: Would you take a moment to join me in applauding your own remarkable accomplishment? [Applause]
Well, now we've heard Principal Hairston and others tell us how this transformation has taken place. And before taking your questions, I'd like to discuss with you how we might work this same transformation in schools all across America. The first point to make is that money alone isn't the answer. From 1963 to 1980, for example, the amount our nation spent on education in real terms more than doubled. Yet during precisely that same period, college board scores fell by almost 90 points. Consider, too, the State of New Hampshire. New Hampshire spends less on education per student than almost every State in the Union. Yet for a number of years now, New Hampshire students have had the Nation's highest SAT scores.
Now, please don't misunderstand me, funding is important, very important. In fact, the amount our country will devote to education this year at all levels of government -- local, State, and Federal -- will total over $300 billion. But money is only money. Unless it represents genuine commitment -- a willingness to work hard at improving American education, to become involved -- then money by itself is all but meaningless. You know, I've thought more than once that -- back when we were throwing money at education -- well, we were sort of like the parent who will buy his child expensive toys and clothes, who will give his child just about anything, except his own time and commitment.
But perhaps the greatest difficulty facing our educators today is this: In too many school systems, if you're a teacher, principal, or superintendent and you do something very good for your students, nothing good happens to you. In a word: There are too few rewards. We need to change that. We need to reward excellence in education as we reward excellence in other fields. We need, in other words, to introduce education to some free-market principles, things like incentives and accountability. An example of incentives is programs now under consideration in some areas, programs that reward teachers and administrations for improved student performance. As for an example of accountability, well, you needn't look any further than Superintendent Murphy's "Applied Anxiety Room.'' Posted in his office are the test scores showing the performance of all the schools in Prince George's County. And John Murphy holds principals accountable for results. This is the kind of tough, sound management we need in our schools.
Educational excellence also means getting parents involved. It means taking innovative steps to attract and reward good teachers based on their performance. And it means alternate certification: opening up the teaching profession to allow more qualified men and women to enter the field. Excellence means community involvement, and your Advisory Council for Business and Industry, as we've heard, is a fine example of this.
And of course, educational excellence depends on choice. I've long argued that parents should have more choice in determining the schools that their children will attend. I've long argued that more choice would lead to better education. And so, I've advocated tuition tax credits and education vouchers. One form of choice, magnet schools, is one of the things Prince George's County is most noted for and is one of the great success stories of the education reform movement. The success of Suitland's own magnet programs -- the Visual and Performing Arts Center and University High School -- is a testament to their worth.
In helping to foster magnet schools, we help foster improved education. In 1987 a $4 million Department of Education grant was made to Prince George's County for magnet school programs, such as the kind that you have here at Suitland High School. It's been a good investment. Come to think of it, I wish all Federal dollars got that kind of return. And since I'd like to see magnet schools programs expanded, I'm going to ask the Congress to increase the size of the current program next year by over 50 percent, from $72 million to $115 million. With these additional funds, we can help more schools do what you've done so well in Prince George's County.
Now, I've talked for a while about how we can make our schools better, but I haven't yet told you why I believe this is so important. What it comes down to is this: It is here, in Suitland High and schools like it around the country, that our future is being shaped. Recently the headlines have been full of a term called ``superconductivity,'' as papers struggle to keep up with the seemingly daily breakthroughs in the lab. Only a year ago superconductivity was considered a scientific backwater, a phenomenon with little practical purpose. Now scientists are saying it may change our lives. ``It shows all the dreams we have had can come true. The sky is the limit,'' said one theorist. We're moving from an age of things to an age of thoughts, of mind over matter. It is the mind of man -- free to invent, free to experiment, free to dream -- that will shape the economy and the world of the future.
Permit me to offer in closing one final message, and it's a message from my heart. If you heard my radio talk last Saturday, then you'll know about a new report on drug use by America's students, including high school students like you. We've had so much bad news about drugs lately, but if you want some good news, just listen. According to the report released by our Secretary of Health and Human Services, Dr. Otis Bowen, last year, for the first time since these surveys began, a substantially smaller number of high school students -- one third smaller -- acknowledged current use of cocaine than acknowledged it the year before. And cocaine is no longer fashionable -- far from it. Ninety-seven percent of the students surveyed disapproved of regular cocaine use, while 87 percent disapproved of even trying it. The use of marijuana and amphetamines is also down.
What it all means is this: America's young people are getting the message. Drugs are ugly. Drugs are nothing to brag about. Drugs kill. And this is so important as you look to the future. You see, in the 21st century, staying employed will mean more than just knowing something. It will mean being able to keep on learning. It will mean having character and discipline and being proud of yourselves. There won't be opportunities in years to come for those who handicap themselves with drug use now.
My young friends, you've done so much already, turning this school around, learning to learn, and learning to look to the future with confidence. I can't tell you how proud I am of you. Keep it up. Keep on saying yes to life. And when it comes to drugs, take a tip from a friend of mine who just happens to be named Nancy Reagan: Just say no.
Thank you. God bless you all.
Mr. Hairston. Mr. President, I understand you have a few minutes remaining. We have some students out in the audience that would like to ask you a few questions.
The President. Alright.
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. My name is Felicia Funderburk. I'm the president of Suitland's Student Government Association. One of the most important questions facing high school seniors today is what college they plan to attend and what career goals they plan to pursue. When you were a high school senior, what career goals did you want to pursue? And how did you plan for it? And what advice can you give young people today as they embark on their careers?
The President. You've asked a question, and I know you're expecting an answer saying something about having decided to do something or other. No, I'm delighted to answer this and encourage you -- don't be concerned because you haven't made up your mind. I graduated from college with a degree in economics and sociology and still had not been able to pin down exactly what I wanted to do. Now, at that time, I must say, the demand was just maybe to get a job of any kind, because I graduated at the very depth of the Great Depression -- 1932. And so, you thought anything might be -- but it wasn't until I went back to my summer job to get a little money to go job hunting after I graduated.
My summer job was lifeguarding at a river beach in my hometown. And there were people who came out from the city and corporate heads and so forth with their families every summer. And I taught their children to swim and so forth. And there weren't as many by 1932 with the result of what had happened in the Crash. But one was there, and he told me that if I could tell him what I wanted to do he had contacts with a number of businesses and areas. He would do what he could to get me a job. But he said, ``You've got to come back and tell me.'' And I went home, and I thought, and I finally realized that in spite of my degree in economics and sociology I wanted the theatrical world.
Now, there in the middle of Illinois, I didn't have the nerve to say I wanted to be an actor. [Laughter] But radio was pretty new, and I said I wanted to be a sports announcer in radio. Well, he told me then, he said, "Well, I don't have any contacts. There's nothing I can do to help you there.'' But he said, ``Maybe that's better. Let me give you some advice.'' He gave me the best advice I've ever had. He said, ``Now that you've determined that, what you want to do,'' he said, "you start out knocking on doors, telling people at those doors what you want to do -- businesses. And someplace along the line, even in this Depression, you'll find someone in a radio station who knows that his business is going to depend on bringing younger people into the business to carry on. And then you'll get a job.'' And he says, "Don't get discouraged if you knock on a lot of doors. Remember a salesman sometimes has to make 250 calls before he makes a sale.''
It turned out to be the greatest advice I was ever given. And sure enough, one day in a station in Davenport, Iowa, turned down because they had just hired an announcer the day before -- and where was I? Why didn't I know they were looking for one? On the way out, after a number of turndowns, I said to myself aloud, "How do you get to be a radio announcer if you can't even get a job in the station?'' Well, I've left out one thing. He had told me, "Don't ask to be a sports announcer.'' He said, "Just ask for anything, because you believe in the future of radio -- anything inside the station -- and then take your chances on there from getting to what you want.''
Well, I got to the elevator, and fortunately, the program director that I'd been interviewed by was arthritic, because I heard the thump of his canes coming down the floor before the elevator arrived. And he was yelling to me to stop and wait. And I did, and he asked me, "What was that you said about sports?'' And I told him that that's what my ambition was. And he said, ``What do you know about football?'' I said, "I played it 8 years.'' And he said, "Could you tell me about a game and make me see it?'' I said, "I think so.''
He stood me in front of a microphone in a studio. He said, "When the red light goes on, you start broadcasting an imaginary football game.'' He said, "I'll be in another room listening.'' And I remembered a game we played the year before, my senior year. We won in the last 20 seconds of the game with a long touchdown run and so forth. And I could remember enough of the names so that I wouldn't have to fish for names in broadcasting it. So, I started us out in the fourth quarter, with the long, blue shadow settling over the field, and back in our own 35 yard line. Here's the play -- has the ball going wide out to the right, cuts back in over -- so forth and so on. [Laughter] He walked back into the studio, and he said, "Be here Saturday. You're broadcasting the Iowa-Minnesota football game.'' And that's how I started my career as a sports announcer.
I know I've taken a long time here, but I know that this is a problem at your age -- that you're thinking so hard, so many of you, what do I want to do? And don't let it bother you that you haven't made that decision yet. You'll change your mind many times before it comes -- the right moment. But then when it comes, just knock on the door, whatever you've chosen to do, and ask until you find somebody that will let you in.
Q. Thank you very much.
The President. I didn't mean to make a second speech, but you touched a nerve. [Laughter]
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. My name is Victoria Bell, and I'm a member of the graduating class of 1988. Those of us who are of age have registered to vote. Could you please give us some advice on what a young person's role should be in politics today?
The President. Your role should be in -- what is it? I didn't -- --
Q. On what a young person's role should be in politics today.
The President. In politics? Well, it was the last thing I thought I would ever end up in. [Laughter] I had completely different thoughts for most of my life. But I think what you should recognize is this -- there is a little figure that says something. The 18- to 24-year-old group of young people happens to be the lowest bracket with regard to voting, the smallest percentage of that bracket votes. We have a society that is unique in the world. It is based on the fact that ``we the people'' are the Government. Our Constitution differs from all but one other constitution in the world. Our Constitution isn't the Government telling the people what their privileges are: Our Constitution is we the people telling the Government what it can do.
Now, government of that kind can only work if people participate. So, whether you're interested in ever becoming involved in politics yourself, participate by that most fundamental thing of voting. But also when you make up your mind, the thing that you believe in, and whether it's party or what philosophy, then participate. Volunteer in campaigns to be of help, to really participate in what the Government -- or who is going to be in the Government. And then, if from that experience you find that you want to actually engage in the issues of the day and having a say about them, then you look around and pick where is the nearest and most available way or level of government and office that you can begin by seeking public office.
And then, when you get that public office, make up your mind -- I have told a Cabinet as a Governor of California and a Cabinet as the President of the United States, in discussing all the issues and what we're going to do about something, don't anyone tell me what the best political way is. I don't want to hear what is right or wrong politically. I want to hear what is right or wrong morally about the issue and what we should do, and make that your goal as a participant in government.
Q. Thank you, Mr. President.
Federal Role in Education
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. My name is Larry Bradford. I'm a student with the visual and performing arts program. My question to you today is: Based on what you learned of our school today, what educational programs and policies will your administration be advocating?
The President. What educational programs?
Q. What educational programs and policies will your administration be advocating?
The President. Well, I probably should turn that question over to the Secretary of Education, who is experienced in it, but I would just take a chance myself -- if he wants to add anything to this. I think that the first thing we at the Federal level must recognize is that our great system of education is managed by and run by the people at the local and State level. And the Federal Government should be of help where it can, but it should not involve itself in trying to dictate to the schools of America.
Do you want to add to that, Bill?
Secretary Bennett. Couldn't say it better myself. That's for sure. [Laughter]
Secretary Bennett. Maybe I would just underline what you said in your remarks, Mr. President. I think you will see emphasis from us on the point that we heard from this table: accountability, choice, high expectations to help the kind of local effort we see here be duplicated all around the country.
The President. We have a great diversity in our education across this great land -- in more than education, in the land itself -- and that is valuable to us.
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. My name is Audrell Cabiness, and I'm an eleventh-grader here at Suitland. What could future leaders do to ensure the prevention of nuclear war?
The President. Well, wait a minute. I have a little trouble with -- --
Q. What could future leaders do to ensure the prevention of nuclear war?
The President. What can we all do with regard to preventing a war? Is that what you're talking about?
Q. Yes.
The President. Well, having seen four of them in my lifetime, I'm hoping and praying that we can avoid one. But I do know this: We have to be practical. We have to be realistic. We have to be totally in favor of peace ourselves and doing all that we can to maintain peace.
My first words in my meeting with Gorbachev in Geneva, Switzerland -- when he and I met in a room, just the two of us and -- well, with interpreters -- I said to him that we were in a unique situation, the two of us from these two great powers, that we could perhaps bring on a war or we could bring on peace for the world. And I said I think what we have to recognize is we mistrust each other, and we are both heavily armed. And I said we don't mistrust each other because we're armed. We're armed because we mistrust each other. And so, our goal -- even though we're going to talk about trying to reduce weapons and lower the military threat -- that our main goal must be to eliminate the mistrust that has caused us to build those armaments. And I think that this country -- we have an order now to maintain peace.
The Great Seal of the United States, with the eagle and its head turned -- in one claw has arrows and in the other claw has the olive branch, designating peace. The older seal, the one on my desk in the Oval Office -- because it's an old, old desk -- the eagle is looking at the claw with the arrows. On the ceiling -- because the building is newer -- on that seal, the eagle is looking at the claw with the olive branch.
Harry Truman, after World War II, decided that our seal should be changed and that our eagle, our bird, should be looking at peace, not war. But at the same time, right now I'm trying to convince the Congress -- we have made great strides in this first treaty that has ever been signed of the actual elimination of arms -- has come about because we revealed to the world that we were going to deal from strength, that they could have their choice: engage in an arms race with us or join us in eliminating the causes of armament. And so, we're pursuing that. And it's been successful so far, because after several years of turndown, we have signed the first treaty that ever eliminated a total system of nuclear weapons. And that's -- --
Q. Thank you.
U.S. Trade Deficit
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. My name is Keith Emory, and I'm a senior in the comprehensive school program. My question for you deals with a major issue in the United States: the issue of the balance of trading. What steps do you think the U.S. Government can take to correct the many trade imbalances that we have with foreign countries?
The President. We're taking those steps as much as we can. But let me point something out. I happen to be one who believes that the imbalance in trade is not the terrible thing that it has been portrayed. Granted that we would like to export more, but for 100 years -- while this country of ours was becoming the great economic power that it is -- for all those 100 years, we had an imbalance of trade, as we have now. We're the greatest exporter in the world. Now, I could caution you, too. Sometimes our statisticians don't use all the figures they should. For example, by the number of dollars of exports that we have does not include services, just things that are made to sell. I think there might be a little difference if we realized how much money comes in from abroad to insurance companies that sell insurance abroad, the services of that kind. And it would balance up a little better.
But if we're going to be the greatest exporter, we must recognize the right of other countries to export, too, and therefore we're an importer. And I've always -- this comes, I guess, from that degree in economics I got -- I've always believed that people in America who feel free to buy foreign products, import foreign goods of some kind or another -- that's their right to do that. And those people, at the same time that they're sending money abroad, they're replacing that money with a product that has an actual money worth. And it's not that the Government is involved in that. Where the Government is involved is -- we have people in our Congress today who want protectionism, high tariffs that will keep people from being able to sell goods in our country without realizing that they can retaliate and then have high tariffs against us selling abroad.
Back in that Great Depression that I mentioned earlier, in 1932, two great mistakes were made in this country and by this country. One, we introduced a thing called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, which made it virtually impossible for anyone to sell anything in America, and that simply spread the Great Depression around the world. And the only thing that ended the Great Depression was World War II. And that was one lesson. The second lesson was the Congress of the United States also then increased the income taxes tremendously from one bracket of 1\1/2\ percent to 9 percent, from something like around 20 percent to 63 percent. And immediately, the total amount of revenue that the Government was getting was reduced, even though the rates were higher.
And so, what we're fighting for is free and fair trade around the world, and we've made great progress with some of our trading partners who did have restraints and restrictions. But that open, free trade and, as I continue to insist, low tax rates here on ourselves in our own country, to increase the incentive of people to earn more -- we have reduced the taxes in our administration, and the total amount of revenue the Government is getting from that tax has increased mightily. About 1,000 years ago, a man named Ibn-Khaldun said in the beginning of the empire, the rates were low and the revenue was high. At the end of the empire, the rates were high and the revenue was low. So, we're going to stick with what we're trying to do, and we can use all the help that you'll give us.
Administration Accomplishments
Q. Good morning, Mr. President. I am Len Walder, a freshman in the University High School. My question to you is this: What do you feel was your major accomplishment as President, and what would you most like to be remembered for as President of the United States?
The President. Well, I'd just like to be remembered. [Laughter] But, well, I'd be satisfied if they just would say I did my best. But now, wait a minute here. You got me so off base here on the first part of that question -- what -- oh, what accomplishment? It's rather difficult to pick things out of all the things that we tried to turn around and change. The economy was in a shambles when we came here. We were in a great recession. Interest rates were sky high, and inflation was in double digits. We turned all that around. And for 61 months we have had an economic expansion which is the longest period in the history of our nation for an economic expansion. But with all of that, I think I'd rather be remembered for the fact that not too many years ago there was a great pessimism in our country, and people were very critical, and people didn't seem to be very proud of the flag anymore. And today what I get in the mail and what I hear from people when I get out of Washington is that once again they're proud to be Americans. And if I had anything to do with that, that's what I would be most proud of, that once again -- --
The President. Well, just one line to finish now, and I appreciate very much and apologize for the length of my answers. But this thing about America -- I got a letter from a man the other day, and I'll share it with you. This man said you can go to live in Turkey, but you can't become a Turk. You can go to live in Japan, but you cannot become Japanese -- or Germany or France -- and named all the others. But he said anyone from any corner of the world can come to America and become an American.
Note: The President spoke at 11:50 a.m. in the school auditorium. In his remarks, he referred to Joseph Hairston, principal of the school.

is it weird that the bachelorette coming on sunday night instead of monday has totally thrown my days off?
i've been thinking today is wednesday all day long. so much so that i was preparing my "what i'm loving wednesday" post and was just about to hit "publish" when i realized that today is in fact, not wednesday. oops. i blame you for this, chris harrison.
so, instead of revamping it, i'm just gonna go ahead and post it and give "what i'm loving wednesday" an alternate title: "what i'm loving wednesday on a tuesday thanks to chris harrison, emily, and jef (with one f)"
i'm loving watching my girls develop their own little personalities and unique quirks.
i'm loving how funny libbi is lately. i could do an entire post on the funny things she says these days. actually, i probably will since my wednesday post is now up on tuesday - ha!
when i picked her up from camp the other day, i asked her if she had learned a new bible story. she began to tell me all about "moose" and how he helped the people. she said the "people kept saying, 'moose we're thirsty' and so "moose" gave them water from the rocks...." it took me a minute, but i finally figured out who she was talking about.
i'm loving the way libbi rides her scooter. to be honest, we had no idea she even knew how to ride one. her uncle john gave her this scooter for her birthday and lo and behold, she hopped right on it and took off. down a hill at the speed of light. score one for the parents of the year who never saw that one coming.
and finally, i am loving that i am slowly but surely figuring out how to work my silhouette. i'm by no means an expert (yet - ha!) but i have managed to make a few things... precious laney girl FINALLY got some decor up on her walls - woohoo!

Globe Telecom's Ernest Cu retains spot as one of most powerful telecom executives worldwide
Corporate Ernest Cu
For the 4th straight year
Globe Telecom President & CEO Ernest Cu retains his spot as one of the most powerful telecommunication executives in the world following his inclusion on the elite list of Global Telecoms Business Power 100 for 2016. Again, Cu is the only Filipino executive to make it to the Power 100 and among the top 10 in Asia.
Similar to the new selection process adopted last year, the inclusion in this year's list of Power 100 was divided into a number of different categories such as operators in various parts of the world, over-the-top and content providers, hardware companies, handsets, and chips.
Cu was listed in the Top Ten Operators from Asia. Officially appointed as President & CEO of Globe in April 2009, Cu has been passionately driving a sweeping transformation across the company, including modernizing its network and IT infrastructure, creating a collaborative and service-oriented culture, and product innovations in its mobile business. Under his visionary leadership, Globe has outperformed industry growth with the company breaking records across all key product groups, brands, and market segments by making the Globe brand as the purveyor of the Filipino digital lifestyle. The company is now recognized as the number one mobile brand in the country.
Cu is currently leading the company in elevating the state of internet in the Philippines by maximizing the newly assigned 700Mhz spectrum to provide a faster mobile internet experience to its customers and by investing heavily to improve the fixed-line internet to connect 2 million families nationwide by 2020. With this, Globe managed to drive the mobile internet speed ranking of the Philippines in the Top 6 in Asia Pacific with an average speed of 8.5Mbps according to the 2nd quarter Akamai State of the Internet Report. The country now have a mobile internet connection speed faster than Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Aside from Cu, the other telecom executives included in the Top Ten Operators from Asia include Mukesh Ambani, Managing director, Reliance Jio; Alex Jinsung Choi, CTO, SK Telecom; Chua Sock Koong, CEO, Singtel; Li Ka-shing, Chairman, CK Hutchison; Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman, Bharti Airtel; Andy Penn, CEO, Telstra; Masayoshi Son, CEO, SoftBank; Hiroo Unoura, CEO, NTT; and Shang Bing, Chairman, China Mobile.

The project so far only takes around 10% of the factory's production capacity, so for now everyone receives extra 650rupees. This is not a living wage yet, but if the project is received well in the marketplace and extended as planned, every worker will get at least the living wage.
full, and therefore it was agreed that the available funds should be shared equally amongst all the workers through the pay grades, even if some top earners were already above that level. Giving every worker the same net increase was acceptable to all parties, and it was deemed as an equitable way of distributing the funds. In effect, it means the lowest earners would receive the highest increase in percentage terms.


1 user review - write a review of Governing America: The Revival of Political History.
In recent years, the study of American political history has experienced a remarkable renaissance. After decades during which the subject fell out of fashion and disappeared from public view, it has returned to prominence as the study of American history has shifted its focus back to politics broadly defined. In this book, one of the leaders of the resurgence in American political history, Julian Zelizer, assesses its revival and demonstrates how this work not only illuminates the past but also helps us better understand American politics today.
Governing America addresses issues of wide interest, including the rise of the welfare state, the development of modern conservatism, the history of Congress, the struggle over campaign finance, changing views about presidential power, and national security. Throughout, it addresses four big questions: How have interpretations of American political history changed over time? How have taxes and budgets constrained policymakers? How have changes in the political process defined historical eras? And how have policy and politics interacted on decisions like going to war?
Zelizer's answers to these questions are fresh and often surprising, providing compelling new perspectives on modern American politics.
Governing America by Julian E. Zelizer is a resourceful study about America and its past and current forms of governing. The historian goes back at the beginning of these federal states and shows the changes and the challenges the presidents went through. She also emphasizes the corruption and the bad habits from the White House, the influence of ideologies on governing and policies and the importance of power for many leaders in this country. The book is very well written, revealing much research and passion for the history and present of America.
Governing America ePub (Adobe DRM) can be read on any device that can open ePub (Adobe DRM) files.

The Free Zone, a film festival with an extraordinary and even provocative selection of films, is becoming more and more in the spotlight of movie-goers.
The everyone's favourite Indian summer is near its end. As November approaches, the period of year arrives when it's time to forget about the long summer strolls and get back to cinemas, theatres, clubs and engage in other "indoor" activities. Much to the satisfaction of numerous movie-goers, the early Novembrer is the time when a prestigious film festival takes place – The Free Zone – and will definitely make our autumn days brighter in Belgrade, Nis and Novi Sad.
The Free Zone Film Festival was launched in 2005 in Belgrade screening 20 engaged feature, documentary and short-feature movies from Serbia, the region and all around the world, with a view to raising awareness of and understanding the current social issues, and particularly those of the marginalised groups. In addition to Belgrade, since 2013 the festival has been held in Novi Sad and Nis as well and during the festival around 30-40 feature and documentary films are normally screened.
This will be the 13th Free Zone Film Festival and takes place from November 1 – 6, in Belgrade, Nis and Novi Sad. The opening ceremony will be hosted, as usual, at the Sava Centre at 20h. This occasion will be marked by the documentary musical The Liberation Day – Laibach in North Korea, the story depicting the concert and visit of this Slovenian band Laibach to North Korea. The programme is categorised into separate segments, such as the Women Line – dedicated to affirmation of women's rights, and the segment – 14 plus, dedicated to issues of teenagers and their peers. Since 2012, the practice has been that one Guest selector is invited to be a member of the team of selectors, and as a rule, he/she is a prominent figure in the world of art and culture and relevant for festival promotion. Some of the guest selectors are Dubravka Ugrešić, Veton Nurkollari, Olja Bećković, Boris Buden. The organisers closely cooperate with other relevant European festivals, such as FID Marseille, Dokufest Prizren, Tempo festival from Stockholm, This Human World Vienna, CPH: Dox from Copenhagen. Owing to this cooperation, the festival will screen some of the films which have already been awarded and critically acclaimed across Europe. The Free Zone Film Festival is a member and partner of the International Human Rights Film Network and The Balkan Documentary Distribution Network.
In addition to the main festival programme, there are some very relevant side programmes, one of which is the Late night conversations – a way to rethink the topics covered by the films, with the participation of prominent philosophers, politicologists and audience. There's also the Cross Media Zone, the side programme which encompasses the projects combining activism, film expression and contemporary digital technologies.
The last day of the Free Zone Festival is reserved for jury awards for the Best engaged film in international and regional competition, and the award for the Best film in the selection 14 plus, as well as the award of the Human rights jury. There's also the Audience award and the Award for the audience, for the best review of the film screened during the festival.
If the main reason for your arrival to Belgrade is this Free Zone Film Festival, we suggest that you get yourself the accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the festival venues. Apart form the Sava Centre, the main programme will also take place in the Cultural Centre Hall in whose neighbourhood you can find our apartment Kolarčeva. The Festival will also take place in the Youth Centre, Kolarac art cinema and famous Kinoteka venue. Within this stretch of area, you can choose some of genuinely superb Belgrade apartments, such as Skadarlija, Divan, Menadžer, Twelve, and also lot more apartments available in our web portal.

Books: "Summer at the Garden Cafe"
Summer at the Garden Cafe: A Novel
By Felicity Hayes-McCoy
Harper Perennial; paperback, 400 pages; $15.99; available Tuesday, September 4
Felicity Hayes-McCoy was born in Dublin, Ireland, and graduated in English and Irish from UCD in the 1970s. McCoy then built a successful career in the United Kingdon as an actress and writer, working in theatre, music theatre, radio, television, and digital media. She is the author of two memoirs, The House on an Irish Hillside, which was released in 2012, and A Woven Silence: Memory, History & Remembrance in 2015, in addition to an illustrated book Enough Is Plenty: The Year on the Dingle Peninsula.
Hayes-McCoy made her enchanting debut in the United States with The Library at the Edge of the World, in which she transported readers to the fictional Finfarran peninsula on the idyllic West Coast of Ireland.
Felicity Hayes-McCoy.
Hanna Casey, the work's uncertain heroine, found her voice and took a stand to protect her beloved local library and the community she had come to love.
Hayes-McCoy returns with the second in her Finfarran Peninsula series, Summer At The Garden Cafe: A Novel, which is a heartwarming story about secrets between four generations of women, and the healing powers of books, love, and friendship.
"People who live in Finfarran say you can see four seasons of the year there in a single day," writes Hayes-McCoy. "Then, in case you'd think they were being poetic, they point out that you'll never know what you ought to wear, so you'd better be prepared for anything.
"The county town of Carrick to the east is the gateway to the Finfarran Peninsula, which stretches into the Atlantic from Ireland's rugged west coast. It's a place of fishing ports and villages, the little town of Lissbeg with its shops and school and businesses, high cliffs, a deep forest, isolated farms, and long, golden beaches. As the clouds whirl in from the ocean, they bring rain on the wind followed by rainbows. Cool, dew-spangled mornings can change to long days of burning turquoise skies and end in red-gold sunsets with a chill in the air that sends you home to hot whiskey and crackling fires. With fuel from the forest and turf from the bogs, Finfarran's homes have never lacked comfort. Yet scattered along the peninsula are emigrants' houses where the souls of the buildings have flickered out along with the fire on the hearth."
The Garden Cafe, next to Lissbeg library, is a place where plans are formed and secrets are shared. Even at the height of tourist season, people are never too busy to stop for a sandwich and a cup of tea.
Town librarian Hanna's daughter, 21-year-old Jazz, has a secret she can't share. While still recovering from a car accident and reeling from her father's disclosures about his long-time affair, she has taken a job at the Old Forge guesthouse, and started to develop feelings for a man who's strictly off-limits.
Hanna has also become involved in her own new affair, with architect Brian Morton. Meanwhile, she is unaware of the turmoil in Jazz's life, until her ex-husband, Malcolm, returns trying to repair his relationship with their daughter.
Malcolm is rebuffed at every turn and he must return to London, at which point, his mother, Louisa, is on the case. Unknown to the rest of the family, Louisa hatches a plan, and she finds an unlikely ally in Hanna's mother, the opinionated Mary Casey.
Hanna, while watching Jazz unravel, begins to wonder if secrets which Malcolm has forced her to keep may have harmed their beloved daughter more than she had realized.
However, the Casey women are no strangers to secrets, something Hanna realizes when she discovers journal, which has been long buried in land she inherited from her great-aunt Maggie.
Ultimately, the painful lessons of the past offer a way to the future, but it will take the shared experiences of four generations of women to find a way forward for Hanna and her family.
Summer At The Garden Cafe is one of the most gripping, thought-provoking books you will read this year.

Q&A: Can Satellite Broadband Compete with Fibre?
Viasat's Evan Dixon suggest satellite broadband might make more sense than fibre in parts of the UK
The UK roll-out of ultra high-speed fibre, like that of 5G, is being stymied in the UK by the huge capital requirements to build out the infrastructure.
With the satellite business one of the fastest growing areas of the space industry, could satellite broadband be a genuinely competitive rival?
US-headquartered ViaSat operates large geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO) satellites to provide broadband for users in remote locations.
Last year's launch of its ViaSat-2 put the most powerful GEO satellite in orbit.
Last week, meanwhile, the company extended its UK footprint with the acquisition of MOD supplier Horsebridge Defence and Security.
Evan Dixon, Deputy CEO, Viasat Europe, joined Computer Business Review for a chat.
What Do you Make of UK Broadbank Infrastructure?
There remains a massive gulf between those parts of the country that actually have a truly high-speed internet service, and those that are still lacking. We are at the beginning of a two-tiered internet system – where areas with fast services reap the benefits in terms of education, opportunity and investment, while those struggling for speed are left further behind.
The definition of "superfast" broadband will also evolve. With the UK's data consumption growth leading Europe, speeds will have to constantly increase to keep up with demand; 24 Mbps may be enough today, but not in 2020.
In November, the government published its Industrial Strategy green paper, which outlined that it would continue work to complete the roll-out of 4G and superfast broadband in order to give every individual, business and public premise the right to request an affordable high speed broadband connection. In order to make this ambition a reality, the government has invested over £1 billion to accelerate the development and uptake of next generation digital infrastructure – including full fibre and 5G. However, we need to ensure money is spent in the right places and on the right technologies. Fibre alone, while offering hyper-fast speeds in the right circumstances, will never reach every household without being prohibitively expensive.
Do you Think Satellite has a Role to Play?
Until recently, the UK's superfast broadband delivery strategy has been focused on, and possibly blinded by, fibre-optic broadband; to the extent that fixation on the technology has meant not addressing the whole population or catering for broadband use beyond fixed houses and businesses.
See also: UK Space Industry in Ambitious Push for £250 Billion Growth
All of the "easy" connections in the country have been made, meaning getting superfast broadband to every remaining individual, business and public premise will be exponentially more difficult and costly with each new connection added. Fibre providers are unlikely to bear this cost on their own. For instance, Virgin Media recently announced fibre expansion into rural areas – but with a customer out-of-pocket connection fee of £300 to help offset the costs of running fibre through uninhabited countryside.
Compared to satellite, the cost to pass a home with superfast broadband begins to look excessive. Satellite technology is constantly advancing, with satellite broadband now delivering 100 Mbps plans with unlimited data in the United States. With similar satellite technology come soon to the UK, the final landscape could mean superfast connections are available to more households, business, and emergency services support.
Tell us about ViaSat-2 …
High-speed satellites have the potential to connect every single UK citizen to superfast broadband. Fundamentally, Britain needs a more consistent and better performing internet serving the entire population – as the GDP of every developed country today is intrinsically linked to the health of their digital economy.
ViaSat-2 is the most powerful commercial broadband satellite ever built, and is already connecting consumers with superfast, unlimited broadband data plans.
If you wanted to picture it, it is currently 22,236 miles above the equator, it's 158ft long, roughly the same length as Nelson's Column and The Arc de Triomphe, and has 23 miles of electrical wiring inside. It took 40 months to design and build, and we expect it to be operational for more than 14 years.
Can Satellite Really Compete with Fibre?
The broadband spectrum is not an infinite resource and connecting millions of people around the world to fast, reliable internet is no easy feat. The financial and technological challenges are numerous, and that's before you even consider how consumer and business expectations have changed in the last decade. As we live more and more of our lives online, any disruption to broadband service is considered to be unacceptable, and maintaining such standards is a gruelling challenge every day.
In terms of satellite more specifically, it has faced an uphill battle for adoption thanks to outdated notions that have been difficult to shake. The old view of satellite is an expensive low-bandwidth service that could only reach a restricted number of users, such as those stationed on oil rigs, with set up and monthly costs in the thousands. This couldn't be further from the case today. Modern satellites can service more than a million users, with set-up and infrastructure costs per user less than fibre and end-user costs similar to telcos for a fixed-speed, superfast service.
Quite simply, for hundreds of thousands of UK households, satellite is the best option for affordable superfast broadband – in rural parts of the country, it may well be the only option available. Bundle in voice over IP, removing the need for a landline charge, and it becomes even more cost effective.
What do you make of the UK government's Space Industry Bill?
The Space Industry Bill is destined to bring real world benefits to the UK, including innovation, employment and economic growth. By looking to the stars, we bring innovation, employment and business growth back to the UK economy. Space is one of the eight great technologies for UK. It is a dynamic, fast growing sector which employs some of the country's top talent, as well as contributing to economic growth and other important national needs, such as Earth observation and satellite communications. It should also help cement the UK's position in the global space industry.
The UK is one of the largest contributors to the European Space Agency already, which will be key towards meeting the objectives outlined in the Space Industry Bill. To compete on a global scale, it takes a larger investment than any single European country has an appetite. With the combined investments from major European powers, ESA has the resources to do projects on a global scale. This drives further innovation and employment back into the British economy, not to mention creating national heroes like Tim Peake.
For UK tech companies, a thriving UK space industry represents a unique commercial opportunity, not to mention the opportunity for new partnerships and R&D. To get a new rocket or satellite into orbit, it takes an inordinate amount of time, effort and money. From the communications equipment, cybersecurity features, right down to the very nuts and bolts used in these devices, no organisation can do it alone. Partnerships with technology vendors, service providers and manufacturers of materials like Kevlar are key to the success of any space project.
What's Next for Viasat?
ViaSat-2 is only the beginning: when ViaSat-3 enters service in the 2020 time period, Viasat will be able to beam more than 1 Terabit per second to meet consumer and business demand for broadband.
The power of satellite to deliver broadband to underserved communities is finally starting to hit home, which is why the European Space Agency and Viasat recently entered a €68m Public Private Partnership to fund development of key components of the ViaSat-3 communications system. We expect to see exciting developments from within the industry growing rapidly to meet the ongoing opportunities the ViaSat-3 class of satellites will be able to deliver.
More generally, advanced satellite-enabled broadband services will play an important role in helping to bridge the digital divide across Europe. By delivering high-quality broadband connectivity to the unserved and underserved, pressure that incumbents burdened with extensive legacy networks will be lessened, and Government agencies can finally fulfil their promise to connect every home.
With satellite's ability to deliver fast broadband, we're seeing a string of new innovative use cases emerge and develop. For instance, it's becoming expected that airlines now offer in-flight connectivity to passengers, pilots and crew—something that has only been made possible since the advancements in high-capacity satellites. It's an exciting time for broadband connectivity—as companies like Viasat challenge the satellite industry to bring faster, more affordable broadband to new markets and geographies.

Q: Python Multiprocessing restraint. limited to only 3 connections to database I am using Python 3.6.8 and have a function that needs to run 77 times. I am passing in data that is pulling data out of PostgreSQL and doing a statistical analysis and then putting back into the database. I can only run 3 processes at the same time due to one at a time takes way to long (about 10 min for each function call) and me only being able to have 3 DB connections open at one time. I am trying to use the Poll library of Multiprocessing and it is trying to start all of them at once which is causing a too many connections error. Am i using the poll method correctly, if not what should i use to limit to ONLY 3 functions starting and finishing at the same time.

def AnalysisOf3Years(data):
    FUNCTION RAN HERE
######START OF THE PROGRAM######
print("StartTime ((FINAL 77)): ", datetime.now())
con = psycopg2.connect(host="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX", port="XXXX", user="USERNAME", password="PASSWORD", dbname="DATABASE")
cur = con.cursor()
date = datetime.today()
cur.execute("SELECT Value FROM table")
Array = cur.fetchall()
Data = []
con.close()
for value in Array:
    Data.append([value,date])
p = Pool(3)
p.map(AnalysisOf3Years,Data)
print("EndTime ((FINAL 77)): ", datetime.now())

A: You can use SQLAlchemy Python package that has database connection pooling as a standard functionality.
It does work with Postgres and many other database backends.
engine = create_engine('postgresql://me@localhost/mydb',
                       pool_size=3, max_overflow=0)

pool_size max number of connections to the database. You can set it to 3.
This page has some examples how to use that with Postgres -
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/pooling.html
Based on your use case you might be also interested in
SingletonThreadPool
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/13/core/pooling.html#sqlalchemy.pool.SingletonThreadPool
A Pool that maintains one connection per thread.

A: It appears you only briefly need your database connection, with the bulk on the script's time spent processing the data. If this is the case you may wish to pull the data out once and then write the data to disk. You can then load this data fresh from disk in each new instance of your program, without having to worry about your connection limit to the database.
If you want to look into connection pooling, you way wish to use pgbouncer. This is a separate program that sits between your main program and the database, pooling the number of connections you give it. You are then free to write your script as a single-threaded program, and you can spawn as many instances as your machine can cope with.
It's hard to tell why your program is misbehaving as the indentation is appears to be wrong. But at a guess it would seem like you do not create an use your pool in side a __main__ guard. Which, on certain OSes could lead to all sorts of weird issues.
You would expect well behaving code to look something like:
from multiprocessing import Pool

def double(x):
    return x * 2

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # means pool only gets created in the main parent process and not in the child pool processes
    with Pool(3) as pool:
        result = pool.map(double, range(5))
    assert result == [0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

Every Wednesday afternoon in the summer, families vacationing near Longville, Minnesota, descend upon the town for a chance to race turtles in the Turtle Racing Capital of the World (as declared by the Minnesota Legislature in 1989).
The Largest Little Museum in the Northwest.
A Museum Dedicated to the Heroes That Fight Fire.
It all begins when the turtle mobile rolls into town around noon. With the help of a couple dozen volunteers, the main road through town is shut down and a mini fair is set up in its space.
At promptly 1:45 p.m., the races begin. $3 will get you a turtle to compete with. The reptiles are raced in heats, with about a dozen participating in each round. Special turtle racing music is played to signify go-time.
The turtle races have been going on for over 50 years now. In 1967, saloon owner Russ Nyvall noticed there wasn't much for kids to do in the sleepy town of Longville, so he came up with the idea. In the early days, it was a simple event during which turtles were raced for an hour or two. Nowadays, the event has an official announcer, a large stage, carnival games, and about a dozen vendors selling food and crafts.

Which Treatments Work For Nail Fungus Infections?
Fungal infection of the nails (nail fungus) medically known as Onychomycosis, is a very common condition especially in the toenails. For most people, nail fungus is not a health risk, but more of a cosmetic problem. However If you are diabetic, have poor circulation and/or a weakened immune system, nail fungus can become a very serious problem.
It is imperative to treat nail fungus quickly once an infection starts.
Most nail infections are caused by dermatophytes, called that because they only infect the skin (or dermis) and skin structures like nails. Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes cause most of the infection, with T. rubrum responsible for as many as 90% of onychomycosis cases. Candida (yeast) as well as certain molds can also infect nails.
Topical medicines – creams, ointments or lacquers applied to the toenails.
Removing most or all of the toenail, then using local therapy as the new nail grows out.
Removing the toenail permanently by killing the toenail root.
Using some other technique along with topical medicines to try and force the medication into the nail. This has included drilling holes and using heat.
Alternative and complementary medications, like tea tree oil.
Laser therapy, which is used to try and kill all the fungus, often along with removing as much of the thickened toenail as possible beforehand.
With the right treatment, you should be able to get rid of a nail infection caused by fungus, even if you've had it for years or it's very bad. But you may have to be patient. It could take months to clear up.
To get rid of a fungal nail infection, you will probably have to take a treatment, sometimes for up to six months.
Fingernail infections tend to clear up quicker than toenail infections. You may need to take medication for only six weeks for a fingernail infection.
Some Prespcription Medication can sometimes damage your liver (though this is rare) and you may have a test to check if your liver is healthy before starting a nail fungus treatment.
Normally doctors recommend pills for this condition, but there are also treatments you can put on an infected nail. If the problem is mild, you might be given a nail varnish or use tea tree oil that kills the fungal infection.
If your infection is severe or keeps coming back, your doctor might recommend removing part or all of your nail. But this treatment is rarely used.
If your nail infection doesn't bother you, you may wish to leave it alone.
There are lots of things you can do to avoid getting a nail infection again. To find out more, see How to keep from getting a fungal nail infection.
Which treatments work best? We've carefully weighed the research and divided treatments for fungal nail infections into three categories.
For help in deciding which treatment is best for you, see How to use medical research to support your treatment decisions.
Itraconazole pills (brand name Sporanox): These are antifungal pills. They treat nail infections caused by a fungus.
Terbinafine pills (brand name Lamisil): These are antifungal pills. They treat nail infections caused by a fungus.
Fluconazole pills (brand name Diflucan): These are antifungal pills. They treat infections caused by a fungus. But fluconazole isn't usually given to people with nail infections.
Ciclopirox lacquer: You might want to use this antifungal nail polish if you don't want to take pills and your infection is mild. The brand name of ciclopirox used for fungal nail infection is Penlac Nail Lacquer.
For most people, nail fungus is not a health risk, but more of a cosmetic problem. Many are very unhappy about the appearance of toenails that are infected by fungus. The longer the infection lasts, the more discolored, thickened, ingrown, and deformed the nail.
Affected toenails can cause slight discomfort to more severe pain, depending on how thickened, ingrown and malformed your toenail or toenails become. The amount of discomfort also depends on which toenails are affected and what kind of shoes you wear.
If you are diabetic, fungal nail infections can become a more serious problem. Diabetics often do not have normal sensation in their toes and feet. That means they may not feel the discomfort of an ingrown nail with onychomycosis. If you are diabetic, an ingrown nail can lead to a bacterial infection in the surrounding tissues. So can any cuts you might accidentally make when trying to trim your toenails. If you do not feel the pain of an infection, it can become serious before you realize it.
If you have poor circulation in your legs and feet (called peripheral artery disease or PAD) or an abnormal immune system, onychomycosis may also cause similar problems for you. Therefore it is imperative to treat nail fungus quickly once an infection starts.
Thank you for the article! It really helping me to deal with my embarrassing "issue"….
Yes thank you for the article.
This product is all natural and works when others don't. The reason is penetration. This product penetrates the nail and nail bed for a cure. It is guaranteed 100% money back. The secret is the lipid channels in the nail. This has a patent pending carrier system that carries the antifungals through the keratin by means of the lipid channels. I have seen 100s of cure, and the doctors and patients who use it, have seen cures when nothing else works. It should be available in most drug stores within a year.. Right now you can purchase it on the website, or through doctors. Thanks Marc Selner D.P.M.
I always kind of cringe when I see Lamisil because it can be a bit dangerous even when used properly. There seems to be a lot of talk about the new laser toenail fungus treatments because they are painless and only take about 45 minutes. The drawback is the cost of about $1000. Some people will just deal with their nail fungus versus paying a grand for the treatment. Despite the costs, it seems to work pretty good.
Lamisil is a very bad choice for getting rid of toenail fungus especially when there are other options available that have no side effects and can be acquired for virtually nothing.
a lot, hmmm maybe I inadvertently chewed them off and new ones grew on?
Well either way it works.
to grow out and it looks fine!
what product he is talking about?
I've been treating my toenails with several over-the-counter medicine. None of them seems to cure the fungi but they softened the nails so that I could cut and file them real thin. Actually 90% of the infected nails are gone and the nail bed looks good. However, I had infection as I often cut too deep and the toes bleed. I'm considering buying ZetaClear and lazer treatment in case the former does not work.
Determined I was wondering if the ZetaClear has worked for you? I am considering buying it but I'm not sure what product to buy.
bear the sight o fit.oh man thinking about it just makes me feel the same.
does anyone here have a better suggestion than Zetaclear or Fungusil.Thanks.
…yeah right-that's exactly why i'm here!
I have been reading all of the comments and have no clue what to do first? Does anyone have pain associated with their fungus? Mine is very painful, only in my big toes, but the smaller toenails seem to be disfiguring..I thought it was from being on my feet so much and wearing too tight of shoes. Any adivice would be greatly appreciated..
How is this working for everyone?
tried terbifine this week 4 tablets in never felt so ill in my life.think i may try laser treatment?
Concur with the Magnifying glass. I actually tried it before searching on the internet. Over 15+ years I've tried the pills (twice), a multitude of topical treatments, debridement until almost all the nail was gone – It came back every time.
On impulse, figuring that lasers are just light, I took my son's magnifying glass and used it on my toenail. Didn't take it to a point as that would burn, but got it as small as tolerable and went over the whole nail and could feel it heating up. Did this only twice (the nail was debrided at the time). It has been months now and the nail is alomst fully grown back in with no sign of re-infection.
Try it, but be carefull you don't burn yourself.
After having this problem for over 40 years &trying every natural remedy, icluding creams & even having all my nails cut off. I was going to the doc's to get a precripition for pills, after reading through the replys I'm gonna try the magnifying glass, hadn't heard of it before, thanks all.
Thanks for the magnifying glass treatment idea! Had never heard that. I have tried soaking feet in sunlight after filing them down and putting topical treatments on, but no improvement there. How do you know when it is too much or even enough to do the trick?
It's clear doctors have no clue how to solve most nail fungus problems. There are many types of infection, and factors such as diet and imune system only complicate things.
Visitors offer hundreds of remedies, but these folks are rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic, because very few are talking about the real problem — the nail itself, which is a physical barrier between any topical and the infection.
Some medicines claim to penetrate the nail but they deliver an insignificant dosage to the fungus to have any noticable effect.
If, like me, you are unwilling to take oral medicine owing to the unllikely but serious health risks, you MUST remove the part of the nail over the affected area and remove the junk below it on a weekly basis, then on a daily basis, apply a topical daily (home and over-the-counter). If one remedy doesn't work, try another, and another. Expect no less than 3 months to clear it up.
I removed most of the nail and junk with clippers and applied ciclopirox from eBay (1/10th the price of the prescription laquer), and not laquer based). Took 6 months to kill the fungus. Would have been easier to have used nail removal liquid from the start, but I didn't know of it, but you can go get it now.
I am about to go get laser treatment for the fungus. The podiatrist claims it kills anything living in the nail bed and that it's very effective. I don't know if I should believe him. Has anyone tried it?
I have had an infected nail for over 6 years, nothing worked, tried terbinifen tablets, lacquers, Vicks, sprays, lotions teatree etc. I have recently been told its psoriasis under my nail, it is now going really fast, I am currently taking a large dose of vitamin D for other reasons, this seems to be working. May be worth a go if you have a stubborn infection like mine.
I ve lived wit this infection over 7years ,ve tried many oral and topical drugs but none worked. Can somebody explain more about the magnifing glass.
I concur with the sunlight & magnifying lens method. I've had nail fungus on one particular toenail for ten years. I've used an anti-fungal liquid on it and all my other toes nearly the whole time (I think the liquid has kept any of my other toes from being infected, which BTW is fantastic).
Anyway, I began using the sunlight & magnifying lens method a year ago, when I began to feel uncomfortable pressure from the toenail thickening. The toenail was noticeably lighter and the pressure was reduced within the first week or two; so that is a distinct improvement. Although the toenail color has returned to normal I won't say it's cured yet since the nail is still thick. I'll have to wait some more to see if it grows in thinner; however, I'm happy to maintain the status quo with the sunlight treatment & anti-fungal liquid.
Incidentally, I feel I contracted the nail fungus from having a pedicure done at a salon. Now, In addition to putting the anti-fungal liquid on all of my toes whenever I get out of the shower, I ALWAYS put the anti-fungal liquid on as soon as I get home from having a pedicure done. My advice to anyone getting pedicures is to invest in a bottle of the liquid as a preventative.
Soak your feet in Epsom salt. It's cheap and effective.
I had mild toenail fungus on my big toe. After pairing down the nail as far as I could, then using a file to grate the surface of the nail to thin it out, I applied tea tree oil two to three times a day. After about ten months it was gone, so I stopped using the tea tree oil, but now a year later its back, I guess I need to do maintenance to keep it away when its gone. I'm going to try the magnifying glass treatment in addition to using tea tree oil. Fungus hates sunlight.
a few treatments your problems will be over.
Thanks a lot lot! Good advices! Another good remedy is the use of special zederna cedarsoles in your shoes. They prevent you from getting nail fungus.
I had an infection under one big toe (thanks nail salon lady) the nail cracked off to about half one September and I thought "Great, thats the end of that". I was hoping that exposure to sunlight would keep it gone but by 4 months later it was not gone. I was considering the $1000 for laser but instead I took a large magnifying glass and treated it with concentrated light almost daily for a month and a half until I could see it growing out clear. I kept it up for another 2 weeks. The fungus is GONE %100. I AM SO HAPPY. I SAVED $1000. It is definitely easier than all the other treatments I have read you guys trying.
The talk of laser treatments and sunlight/magnifying glass treatments brings to mind another device that is similar in that it uses RF frequency energy to radiate RF energy subcutaneously. It was invented over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla and is called a "Violet Ray". It was sold on the open market until the early 50s when the FDA outlawed it's use because people were making outrageous claims for what it could and couldn't do. Despite the fact it was effective for specific things they simply prohibited it's use for anything. That's government for you. However it remained legal outside the US and no disasters seem to have occurred. At worst it didn't work for some ailments, perhaps in part because it was used improperly. However almost identical versions of the device are still made in the US for use by medical professionals, particularly dermatologists where it is used to remove warts, freckles and other skin discolorations. I have several antique devices and several of the devices made in England. (Using antique devices is risky as the electrical design is primitive and potentially dangerous). I have not used it for toenail fungus but in theory it should work as it is sort of an RF (radio frequency energy) variation on what lasers or even magnifying glasses do with penetrating irradiation that can disable if not outright kill living cells. I have used it on skin discolorations with some beneficial effect. Has anybody tried it on toenail fungus? Would be very interested in the result.
I had problems with fungus. I solved it quickly with an ointment recommended by pharmacists from my neighborhood. I hope to never repeat, it is a terrible senator.


Police Brutality Category Archives — Maryland Personal Injury Lawyer Blog Published by Baltimore, Maryland Injury & Accident Attorney — Joseph H. Ostad, P.A.
City Settles Personal Injury Lawsuit For $1.2 Million.
A major city has agreed to pay $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a woman who suffered third-degree burns when a "flash-bang" grenade thrown by a police officer on the city's SWAT team exploded near her during a raid. The victim suffered burns over 11 percent of her body and was permanently disfigured as a result of the incident, which happened during a search of the home she was visiting.
The victim, now 31, accused police of needlessly using an "extreme level of force" when they lobbed the grenade into the house. Without admitting wrongdoing, the City Council voted unanimously in closed session Tuesday to approve the settlement. The victim's attorney, said there had been no reason to use the flash-bang grenade because police had previously searched the home without using the device and should have known that the occupants would have been sleeping. The two shotguns were found in the garage, and the victims were not armed, he said. Neither woman was arrested. "This was a real tragedy," the attorney said. "The conduct of the police was reprehensible." The lawsuit against police stemmed from his arrest on drug charges. Police who subsequently searched the home reported finding 216 live rounds and a magazine for an assault weapon. But prosecutors dismissed the case after determining that the Officer had falsely stated on a search warrant affidavit that the alleged narcotics seized during his arrest had been confirmed as actual drugs. It was one of a series of allegedly false statements by police seeking warrants. The policeman and three other officers were fired. One officer has since regained his job through arbitration.Police should have known that the flash-bang grenade, which is typically used to disorient dangerous suspects, could severely burn or otherwise injure an innocent bystander, the attorney said in a suit filed last year in U.S. District Court. When detonated, such grenades emit a loud noise and blinding flash. He also said that police had conducted the raid to retaliate against a man who had connections to the home because he had filed a class-action lawsuit three days earlier accusing officers of falsifying search warrants. City officials denied any link between the suit and the raid, saying the SWAT team had been called in because police believed people in the home were gang members armed with guns. Two shotguns and cocaine and heroin were found during the search, police said. But the city acknowledged that a flash-bang grenade that a 10-year veteran, fired toward an unoccupied hallway hit a wall and bounced back into the living room where the victim had been sleeping, burning her on her chest and leg. She spent nearly a month being treated at the Hospital and incurred medical expenses of $400,000. A second woman was also hurt and has received a $45,000 settlement from the city. Police said they had fired the flash-bang grenade because the victim opened the front door as they approached and then shut it, forcing them to break it open.
Man Sues Police Over Son's Wrongful Death.
The state police have been sued by the father of a young man who was brutally shot and killed at his home by police officers when they responded to a suspected report of road rage on a local highway.The newspapers report that the wrongful death lawsuit was filed in state district court by the father of the victim. The young man died after he was shot point blank in the chest by the police officers investigating a disturbance involving the victim's brother.As an experienced attorney I have reviewed many cases of wrongful death and have completed same with favorable results.
Police had been told that someone tried to run two women off of the Interstate and then got out of his vehicle and threatened them.The officers arrived at the brothers' residence after identifying their truck as the one involved in the road rage incident. The officers claimed that they heard gunshots and a man shout, "We have a gun! Get off the property."Then an officer saw a man standing in a window with a pistol and he shot him. The victim's father and brother claim he first fired a warning shot into the air,but the police state he fired at an officer.The surviving brother managed to elude the police by fleeing the house with a shotgun and later went to the police to ask for help where he was arrested on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting or evading arrest.The grand jury did not indict the police officers.The lawsuit claims that the victim didn't hear the officers identify themselves when they approached their house.His brother says the police yelled and cursed at them telling them they were surrounded and demanding that they come out, but they didn't announce they were police or use any police lights.The lawsuit also states that after the victim was killed, the police used a cell phone to take a picture of the body and distributed the image to members of the public.If your family member has been a victim of wrongful death please call me at 800 320-0080 or visit me at my offices conveniently located in Rockville or Baltimore.

fill tool source request - Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !
Hi. I am someone who loves the fill tool, and I think it works great. However, I would like a source mode to be added that uses both the current layer and all the layers above. This would be very helpful because often when using "above" for source, my lines have a gap, and I would like to be able to quickly paint the gap closed on the current layer and have the fill tool recognize this.
thanks, keep up the great work guys!
Hello ! You can use diplay mode.
Yes I know that, but I would like to specifically only fill my current layer, and layers above. for instance, if I am working on layer 3 of 5, I would like the fill to be sourced from layers 3, 4 and 5, but not 1 and 2.
In that case, use CTG layers instead of fill tools.

Print is dead. Long live print
By Ian Young, Media Manager at AgencyUK
A week after The Independent became the first national newspaper to move to a purely digital platform, the Trinity Mirror Group announced the launch of a new daily tabloid paper, the New Day. Very strange indeed.
There's no doubt that newspaper readership has been on a downward trend. The latest ABC sales statistics show a decline of 8% a year for dailies and over 9% for Sunday papers. However, these numbers do not account for the growth of some titles of their digital audience. Titles such as the Guardian and Daily Mail now have huge online readerships of 40 million and 60 million unique users per month respectively*, whilst The Times has, on the face of things, effectively moved to a paywall subscription model for its online content.
But what do this week's events mean? Who is making the right move? The death of traditional newsprint has been predicted before, but has still yet to materialise. Maybe there is room for both print and online to coexist in peaceful harmony. The reason for this could be down to the differences in which we consume digital and print media.
Yes, I'll admit I consume the majority of my news, current affairs and sporting information online, from a wide range of different sources. This is great when we are leading busy lives and want to keep track of what's happening out there in the rest of the world, picking and choosing small snippets of information to skim read and absorb. However, I still find that sitting down with a paper is a luxury. Reading an in depth article with thought provoking commentary, or stumbling across an interesting article I would never have searched for online, is one of life's small pleasures. I hope enough other people feel the same way and that the newsprint tradition continues for a little while longer.

Trailering, even a short distance, heats the hubs. When the wheels are submerged during launching, the hubs suddenly cool and the air inside the unprotected hubs contracts, forming a vacuum which draws in water through the rear seals. There is no such thing as a rotating seal that stays perfect. Water and grit thus drawn into the hubs relentlessly destroy bearings. When properly installed and maintained, Bearing Buddy® prevents wheel bearing failure and eliminates bearing repacking. Boat trailer wheels can be completely submerged.
These trailers, because they are not used regularly, are also subject to bearing corrosion and failure from condensation moisture from air sucked into hot hubs as they cool. Moisture stays in the hubs causing rust and pitting until they are reheated when the trailer is used again.
HOW BEARING BUDDY WORKS The axle hub is filled with grease until the grease forces the Bearing Buddy piston outward about 1/8 inch. Because the piston is spring loaded, the piston exerts a slight (3 psi) pressure against the grease, which maintains a slight pressure between the inside of the hub and the outside environment. When the hub is submerged, water cannot enter the hub because of this pressure. An automatic pressure relief feature prevents over-filling and over pressurization. Without this feature, the inner seal will be damaged. Grease can be added to the hub through an easily accessible grease fitting located in the center of the piston. Lubricant level (and pressure) can be checked quickly by pressing on the edge of the moveable piston. If you can rock or move the piston, the hub is properly filled. Bearing Buddy will last the life of your trailer. The outer barrel is made of steel and is triple chrome plated. Internal Bearing Buddy parts are made of stainless steel. Bearing Buddy is also available with a stainless steel barrel for maximum corrosion protection.
Model #1980, for example, fits a 1.980'' bore hole diameter. Our 2080T (threaded model 2080) will fit the Reliable oil bath unit that is on many of the EZ Loader trailers.


With the passage of time we all have been surrounded by various types of new inventions. Every invention helps u to acquire and learn something new. It helps in making our lives very simple and easy. The easy way makes our life convenient and much faster. In this competitive society where each and every step is moving towards a competitive market you cannot think of being average. Being average will land you to a mediocre life that is not at all what you want or desire. Thus in this professional world you also have to be professional and have to make a mark in the society.
Today each and every parent is a working parent and this is the reason why each child is led away from the basic help that a parent can provide the child. Every parent is a working parent and so they are unable to devote that much time which is needed by every child for betterment. School is also becoming a very professional place and very few people are able to make out the most through schools. The teachers' present in the schools is not able to provide them with that much help and support which they need to have. Everyone is becoming professional and thus it is not possible anymore to live a stress free life.
School is one such institution where we spend most of our wonderful years. It is also called our second home as we spend near about fifteen years of our life in schools. From the very initial years of our schooling, there are some subjects that we have to take care of. Mathematics, English, science, social sciences are the basic and the most common subjects that are taught from very small age. It helps you to open up broad spectrum into one's mind and helps them in the further classes.
