Bad Times in Bali – an Autobiographical Account
Introductory Note
I recorded this story after several hours of conversation with a Balinese friend of mine. I can vouch for his integrity and have tried to present his point of view to the best of my ability. At times, however, it is possible that I may have misunderstood his message or injected my own bias into the conversation, for which I take full responsibility. Please feel free to contact me about any errors in this article, and I will be happy to make the appropriate corrections. One last thing: although this article initially included my friend's name, after careful consideration, I decided that it might be better to err on the side of caution, when it comes to publishing names on the web. I have therefore gone ahead and removed his name and contact information, without altering the text in any other way.
Bhikkhu Moneyya
My name is *****. I am 55 years old, married, with 5 children, and currently live in *****, Bali.
As a young man, I loved sports and trained in karate, judo and volleyball. In 1984, at the age of 19, I was appointed captain of the Bali Volley Ball Association. Later that year, our team was invited to compete in a tournament in Denpasar (the capital of Bali) with the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Police Force teams. During our game with the Army team, I managed to catch a glimpse of several soldiers who were rooting for the Army team. Their voices were loud and I could tell they weren't happy when our team won the tournament.
After the tournament, on my way home to *****, I decided to take a swim in the ocean. I was riding my motorcycle to the beach, when several other cyclists drew even with me and forced me off the road. It turned out to be three of the soldiers who had been rooting for the Army team. One of them knocked me off my bike, and then the three of them together began to beat me as I was lying on the ground. It was easy to see that the soldiers were not Balinese, but rather from Java, which made sense, since Bali and Java were not on the best of terms at that time. They had come after me, since I had been the high scorer of the tournament.
I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't defended myself, because under President Suharto, the military had ultimate authority, and could pretty much get away with murder. Anyway, I managed to get up and grab a stick, and with my knowledge of stick fighting, was able to fend them off. Nevertheless, I had been badly beaten, and when I returned home, my father noticed my black eye, and asked me what had happened. I described to him how the soldiers had waylaid me and beaten me for nothing more than winning a game. He could see how angry I was, and I expected him to be sympathetic. Suddenly, he began to yell at me and hit me, and since my father was usually a pretty calm person, I became totally confused. "Why are you hitting me? I have done nothing wrong."
It was only then that my father told me the story of what had happened to him in 1965, when I was six months old. This is what he told me: on September 30, 1965, seven of the top generals under President Sukarno's command were murdered in Jakarta. The murder was blamed on the Communist party, of which Sukarno was said to be a member. Suddenly, General Suharto (who was lower down in the chain of command than several of the murdered generals) found himself in a position of power, with considerable influence over the PNI (the Nationalist Party of Indonesia), which at the time, was one of possibly ten or more political parties that were competing for a voice in the parliament. In October of 1965, the PNI began a purge of the Communist Party, and the killings began.
As the conflict escalated, the fear of Communism swept over the island of Bali like a plague. Everyone was suspect, and ultimately at the mercy of the PNI. One day, an officer in the army, who was a friend of my father, stopped at our house. He explained to my father that someone in the village had accused him of being a Communist. He said, "If you stay at home, they will come to your house and kill you," and invited my father to stay with him until it was safe to return home.
That evening, around 7:00 pm, my father left with his friend to stay in his house. Between 11:00 and 12:00 pm, a band of vigilantes arrived at our village. They waited outside our house, but since my father wasn't there, they moved on the banjar (our community hall), where the other male villagers had been ordered to stay. According to a friend of mine who saw the killings, three of our fellow villagers were led out into the street and run through with swords. After that, the vigilantes returned to the banjar and led two more villagers out into the street. One of the villagers was run through with a sword and the other was beheaded. After that, the vigilantes burned down our banjar.
Just a note: It was said that the vigilantes had been given the names of these five villagers by the PNI. For the record, I wish to state that the only thing these men were guilty of was being leaders in our community. In the case of my father, throughout his life, he had very little interest in politics and was definitely not a Communist. By profession, he was a dancer, musician and painter, and since he was fairly well-known and respected for his skill in the arts, perhaps someone had become jealous of him. That's all it took back in those days to be identified as a Communist.
During the three-month time period of my father's confinement, many other innocent villagers were denounced as Communists and killed. The worst slaughter took place in the village of Tegal Badeng in Jembrana Region, where every single adult male was murdered. Of course, the vigilantes also wanted to kill my father and even knew where he was staying, but were afraid to enter his friend's house, because he was a military man. My father was certainly lucky to have such a good friend.
The purge ended in January of 1966, and after that, my father was able to return home. Although the purge had ended, the power struggle between Suharto and Sukarno continued on until Sukarno's impeachment in 1967, when he was put under house arrest, and Suharto became president. I think it was the lingering trauma of these events that caused my father to become so upset, when he saw that I wanted payback for what the soldiers had done to me. He told me, "If you go back and fight them again, they will kill you."
This was one time, however, that I didn't listen to my father. Due to my prowess as an athlete, and being a bit headstrong, I was determined to take my revenge. Every day, I rode my bike past the army barracks, until I spotted one of the soldiers. I knew he often hung out with his two friends and was willing to bide my time until I could catch the three of them together. One day I spotted all three of them, as they left the barracks. I followed them down the street on their motorcycles. When I caught up to them, I knocked one of them off his bike, beat him and left him lying on the ground. The other two got off their bikes and came for me, but I was ready for them this time and beat them both. I felt vindicated and left the scene with all the three soldiers lying on the ground.
When I got home, I was careful not to let my father know about the second confrontation, as I knew how much it would upset him. I guess I'm lucky that the three soldiers never came looking for me again. Nevertheless, the stigma of what happened to my father remained with me for years, so that when I applied to join the police force in 1985, my application was turned down on the grounds that my father was a Communist. And I wasn't the only one to suffer – many other Balinese lost their jobs or had land that had been in the family for generations stolen from them and given to Suharto's friends and family members. Those who spoke up about their mistreatment would get a "visit" from the military, who were not averse to using their own methods of persuasion, as I myself had discovered. During this time, the government maintained total control of the media, and those who were foolish enough to express an independent view or support a different political party were strongly censored and often made to disappear.
No doubt, it was a bad time for Bali. Most Balinese loved Sukarno, because his mother was Balinese, but that was not the only reason. He was the father of our country and helped to create a truly egalitarian and morally uplifting constitution. Based on what my father told me, his loss was a great tragedy, and the reign of terror instituted by the one who replaced him compounded that tragedy many times over. It was only in 1999, a year after the May Rebellion – when thousands of students joined together in Jakarta, to force Suharto out of office – that the media began to open up and we started to hear stories about how the CIA had masterminded and supported Suharto's overthrow of Sukarno. We also learned how, in 1967, soon after Suharto had taken office, a US company called Freeport was granted a 91% profit share in the Grasberg mine of Papua, Indonesia – the largest gold mine and second largest copper mine in the world – leaving a whopping 9% to the country where the mine was located. Coincidence? We think not. Perhaps Suharto was merely returning a favor.
To demonstrate that Indonesia actually does possess an egalitarian and morally-uplifting constitution, I have decided to present the five basic principles that all citizens of Indonesia live by, called Pancasila. These five principles form the philosophical basis for the Indonesian constitution and are found at the end of its preamble. They are said to be inseparable and interrelated with one another, but in order to understand their significance, we need to put each of them in a historical perspective.
For example, at the time that Indonesia attained independence, it was an archipelago, consisting of many islands, with numerous ethnicities, races, religions and contrasting cultures, separated into island-states that were oftentimes in conflict with one another. One thing they all had in common, though, was a belief in divinity, or in the case of Buddhism, a belief in Dharma, i.e., ultimate truth, the supreme law. All these various religious teachings were accepted under the umbrella, "belief in an Almighty God." Such a belief, when properly understood and practiced, helps to support a moral life and reduce animosity, thereby unifying the country and providing the basis for a just government and a free society. In this way, each of the five Pancasila supports the other four. The five Pancasila are listed below:
Belief in an Almighty God (this boils down to acceptance of all religions)
A just and civilized humanity (the practice of morality)
A unified Indonesia (unity in diversity and diversity in unity)
Democracy led by the wisdom of consensus or through representatives (a government of the people, by the people, and for the people)
Social justice for all Indonesians (equality, justice and rights for all citizens)
For those who would like to further investigate the possibility of CIA/US Government involvement in the overthrow of President Sukarno, please refer to the following article:

International Medical Corps is not currently active in Burundi. The content on this page reflects the status of our work and conditions in the country as our programs concluded in early 2021. The page does not update.
International Medical Corps has operated in Burundi since 1995, implementing emergency and development programs to address the needs of vulnerable people, including those in areas of armed conflict. We work in more than half of Burundi's 18 provinces, including Bujumbura, Bururi, Cankuzo, Gitega, Kayanza, Kirundo, Makamba, Muramvya, Muyinga, Rumonge, Ruyigi and Rutana. Our programs span primary healthcare, nutrition and gender-based violence treatment and prevention. In 2019, we also responded to a massive outbreak of malaria in the country, and contributed to national preparedness efforts to prevent the spread of Ebola from its neighbor, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Throughout all of our programs, we work to strengthen Burundi's health system by supplying partners with medicine and medical equipment, and by offering the Ministry of Health the technical support required to develop effective national health strategies.
Support our efforts in Burundi and around the world. Donate now.
Internally displaced people
Weak Health Systems
Ongoing political instability, violence and internal displacement have severely limited the population's access to basic health services
More than half Burundi's population (58%) is chronically malnourished
Poor Sanitation and Hygiene
Much of the population does not have access to safe drinking water or sanitation resources, leaving people vulnerable to outbreaks of disease, including cholera and typhoid
International Medical Corps has trained local healthcare professionals, community-based health workers and community leaders in effective preventative and curative primary healthcare practices. Our teams teach community health workers to provide better nutrition and health for children by addressing the root causes of malnutrition, by educating mothers and care givers about infant and young-child feeding (IYCF), and focusing on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and home management of common childhood illness. We have worked closely with other NGOs to support the Ministry of Health's implementation of child-growth monitoring programs and childhood-illness management at more than 60 health facilities at the community level. We have implemented 12 pilot programs supporting child-growth monitoring—work that inspired the ministry to initiate an additional six programs.
Nutrition and Food Security
International Medical Corps recently ended a five-year food-security program designed to increase health and nutrition levels among communities in Burundi's northeastern Muyinga province. Our objective was to reduce stunting among children under 5 by 10%. To achieve this goal, we supported the Ministry of Health (MoH) in its implementation of IYCF practices and included MoH staff in our extensive training sessions designed for local health professionals. We also supported the MoH in its efforts to establish a long-term food-security and nutrition strategy across the country.
Community-Based Programs
Community-based Nutrition: Promotion of Infant and Young-Child Feeding. Promoting optimal IYCF practices is an essential part of international Medical Corps' strategies to achieve community best practices in nutrition. IYCF is also the cornerstone of our nutrition interventions in food-security programs aimed at reducing stunting during a child's critical first 1,000 days of life. In Burundi, chronic malnutrition affects more than half of all children, according to the 2017 Demography and Health Survey. We have worked with the Ministry of Health to develop national training modules. We have also developed behavior change messages and posters promoting the benefits of IYCF.
Social Behavior Change Communications. International Medical Corps includes social behavior change communications (SBCC) strategies in all its Burundi programs. These strategies include conducting barrier analyses early in the program, then using the results to improve methods for educating communities on good health and nutrition practices and to encourage the adoption of these methods. We also use home visits and childcare groups led by "lead mothers" trained in best practices and positive deviance awareness to encourage adoption of healthier practices. In a multi-year assistance program funded by USAID from 2008–2012, we supported nearly 200 lead mothers along with 1,440 Community Health Workers as they successfully promoted key health and nutrition practices in communities covering three provinces. The newly adopted practices resulted in significantly more mothers breastfeeding their newborn child within one hour of birth—a step that often leads to exclusive breastfeeding. Our data also demonstrate an increase in the proportion of children under 12 months of age completing the recommended immunizations, and more mothers using fluids to re-hydrate their children following episodes of diarrhea. The number of households using an improved toilet increased more than three-fold, from 6.8% to 21.5%.
Ebola. Following an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in August 2018—now the second-largest outbreak in history—Burundi was one of nine neighboring priority countries identified by the World Health Organization as vulnerable to the outbreak's spread. International Medical Corps is currently contributing to ongoing preparedness efforts to prevent the spread of Ebola in 10 out of the country's 21 priority districts. Our activities include training rapid response teams; implementing surveillance, reporting and isolation procedures at points of entry; and creating isolation rooms for suspected cases at five hospitals.
Malaria. Burundi experienced a malaria epidemic in 2019, with more than 6 million new cases reported since January—a number equal to half of the country's population of 12 million. International Medical Corps is helping the MoH respond to the ongoing malaria outbreak in the four northern provinces (Kayanza, Kirundo, Muyinga and Ngozi), reaching more than 500,000 beneficiaries with improved malaria treatment and care services. We have also trained more than 2,000 community health workers and 403 healthcare providers from 269 health facilities.
Gender-based Violence: Prevention and Treatment
To strengthen the capacity of MoH service providers to help survivors of sexual violence and provide compassionate care, International Medical Corps has conducted training programs on medical support for victims and survivors of GBV, reaching more than 60 nurses from three provinces. We also have worked with community health workers to distribute community-level messaging that stresses the need to prevent any form of physical violence or harassment, and provided the MoH with financial and technical support to update Burundi's national GBV training module.

Oxygen photosynthesis has to be the greatest giver of life on Earth, and researchers have cracked yet another part of its complex but efficient chemistry. The more we know about it, the better we may be able to tweak photosynthesis, if it comes under environmental duress. It's also a great teacher of how to harvest sheer unlimited energy from the sun.


The New England Patriots have spent the last week celebrating their Super Bowl LIII victory over the Los Angeles Rams, and you can bet Bill Belichick's attention has already turned to the team's offseason tasks. One of them is the 2019 NFL Draft, which begins April 25.
The New England Patriots have spent the last week celebrating their Super Bowl LIII victory over the Los Angeles Rams, and you can bet Bill Belichick's attention has already turned to the team's offseason tasks.
One of them is the 2019 NFL Draft, which begins April 25.
The Patriots have several picks in the first three rounds, which gives them a great opportunity to add valuable depth to their roster and address areas of weakness.
New England's first selection is No. 32, the final pick in Round 1. Belichick struck gold in the first round last year with the selection of Georgia running back Sony Michel, who set a rookie NFL playoff record with six rushing touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in Super Bowl LIII.
This year's draft class is dominated by defensive players. That's good news for the Patriots, who should be able to find plenty of talented players to improve the team's front seven. Another position the Patriots could target in the first round is tight end if Rob Gronkowski decides to retire.
Here's a roundup of post-Super Bowl mock drafts with expert predictions for the Patriots' first-round pick.


So I just returned from a weekend in Kruger National Park, South Africa. I had to go to South Africa to get a new visa anyway, so we decided to make a trip of it. Kruger is right by the Mozambique-South Africa border so it was very easy. We saw lots of elephants and giraffes, some zebra, a few hippos, lots and lots of gazelle, impalas and kudus, but no lions, rhinos or leopards--this time. Very weird and cool to be so close to such big animals.
I am pretty much settled in. The team house still has basically everything we need, but it is noticeably rougher living. We now have a hot water heater, so morning showers have helped me in establishing a routine. Right next door is a park, and as I went out to sit on a swing I was very soon surrounded by children. They knew no English, so we had to communicate by Portuguese. They definitely know more than me, but I'm not sure how fluent they are since it's something they learn in school. Evenings are long but I've so far kept myself quite entertained with reading, learning Portuguese, playing guitar and singing, and doing some art. I've been really appreciating hymns lately, and am starting to memorize some favorites.
Note: Canicado=Guija. It's called both, and Guija's shorter. I'm going out there tomorrow.
Guija is 3 hours on a paved road from Maputo. At Chokwe there used to be a bridge across the Limpopo (which is maybe 200 ft across) to Guija, but it was destroyed as a defense during the civil war to protect the refugee camp (that's how Chokwe started) from the army advancing from the north. So you either take a very quick boat ride, or drive west to the next bridge, and then 22 kilometers back to Guija on a very bumpy dirt road that is undriveable in the rain. That last 22km adds on an extra hour. On the way, you pass what I guess I would call traditional African villages and compounds, complete with mud and thatch huts and everything. Guija has modern buildings and a paved road-- the one that used to run all the way to Maputo-- but it is a strange little town because it is now so isolated. After driving an hour through very rural territory, we all of a sudden came to Guija, turning out of what felt like a driveway on to the main road running through the town. The native language throughout the Gaza province is called Changana.

The abundant life of dead wood, part 3
Findhorn Hinterland: 20 August 2022 Leave a Comment
This blog is the third in a series, and follows on from Part 1, in which I wrote about the role of fungi in helping to break down dead wood, and Part 2, which focussed on slime moulds. Here I'll describe some of the invertebrates associated with dead wood, including springtails and mites.
Springtail (Neanura muscorum) amongst common jellyspot fungi (Dacrymyces stillatus) on an old pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
A variety of small invertebrates can usually be found by close examination of dead wood, and amongst the most common of these are springtails. Known in scientific terms as Collembola, they are hexapods (ie creatures with six legs), but are not insects – they are differentiated from that group by having internal mouthparts (whereas insects have external mouthparts).
Springtail (Pogonognathellus flavescens) on a pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
Springtails derive their common name from the presence of a forked tail-like appendage called a furcula on the underside of their bodies. The furcula is folded in on itself and held under tension against the abdomen. When the tension is released, the furcula flicks against the surface the springtail is resting on, enabling the invertebrate to spring away suddenly and rapidly. Having no wings, springtails are unable to fly, but this evolutionary adaptation enables them to escape from potential predators. The photographs below show a springtail with its furcula in its folded position (left) and extended after the tension has been released (right).
Springtail (Pogonognathellus flavescens) with its furcula folded forward under its abdomen, behind its legs.
Springtail (Pogonognathellus flavescens) with its furcula extended backwards, after it has been sprung.
Springtail (Tomocerus minor) on a fungus-covered section of a pine log, on the Findhorn Hinterland.
Springtails prefer to live in moist conditions so are commonly found in rotting wood and old logs etc. They do not break down the dead wood directly themselves, but are part of the detritivore community, and many species feed on the hyphae and spores of fungi. By doing so, they help with the redistribution and circulation of nutrients that have been freed up from the dead wood by the action of fungi.
Two different springtails (Entomobrya nivalis) (left) and (Entomobrya albocincta) (right), showing the size variation between species, on an old pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
Springtails are very small in size and mostly range from about 1 mm to a maximum of 6 mm in length, with a few species reaching 10 mm. As a result they are rarely noticed by the general public, and are relatively unknown compared to other invertebrates such as insects. However, they are claimed to be some of the most abundant creatures on Earth, with estimates indicating there can be as many as 100,000 individuals in a square metre of soil!
Springtail (possibly Anurophorus laricis) that has been caught by a spider on an old pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Springtails are preyed upon by many other creatures including spiders, mites, beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. They are an integral part of the food web within the living ecosystem that is a woodland and although they are out of sight most of the time they play a vital role within the overall forest community.
A mite and a springtail (Lepidocyrtus sp.) on an old pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Another group of organisms that can be found in dead wood are mites. These are very small creatures, with most being 1 mm or less in body length, and in scientific terms they are classified as arachnids, because they have 8 legs, like spiders and harvestmen. Mites actually occur in a range of habitats, with some of them inducing galls on the leaves of trees, whilst others are parasites and some even live in water. Here I'm focussing only on those species that can be found on dead wood.
Mite on a dead branch of an elder tree (Sambucus nigra), Findhorn Hinterland.
The mites that occur on dead wood and in leaf litter on soils are mainly those known as Oribatid mites. They are decomposers and consume dead plant material, as well as fungal material and even some lichens. Because of their small size they are usually not seen by most people, but dedicated searching of the right habitat will reveal them, sometimes in great abundance.
Mite (Linopodes sp.) with very long front legs on a pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
To date, biologists have identified and classified over 48,000 species of mites, but there are large numbers of undescribed species, possibly a million or more. Amongst those that have been described, some of the most remarkable are the Linopodes mites. These have exceptionally long front legs (that are often mistaken for antennae!), and they are used by the mite for feeling its way around, in a somewhat similar fashion to how many insects use their antennae.
Mite (Cepheus sp., possibly Cepheus dentatus) on a fungus on a pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Some of the most common mites I've encountered here on the Findhorn Hinterland are those in the genus Cepheus. These are small black mites with bodies that are roughly circular in shape and legs that are dark red in colour. I've seen them mostly crawling around on fungi on dead logs so I presume they are fungivorous in their diet. What is most dramatic about them though is the behaviour of their nymphs.
Nymph of a mite (Cepheus sp.) on a fungus (Tubulicrinis subulatus) on an old pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
They retain their exuviae, or cast skins, as they grow in size, and position them on their backs to form a distinctive spiny-looking shape. This is presumably a defence mechanism to provide some protection from predators that might otherwise eat the nymphs. They are rather bizarrely-shaped mini-beasts moving slowly across the fungi-covered surfaces of old logs, and in some instances at least it seems as though some of them get engulfed by the fungi, as the following images illustrate:
Closer view of a mite nymph (Cepheus sp.) on some fungus (Tubulicrinis subulatus), with another nymph being overwhelmed by the fungus, on an old pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Nymph of a mite (Cepheus sp.) on some fungus (Tubulicrinis subulatus), with another nymph partially covered by the fungus, on an old pine log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Here's some brief video footage of one of these black mites (Cepheus sp.) and a nymph of the same species on some white fungus on the underside of an old fallen dead branch of a Scots pine on the Findhorn Hinterland:
Black Oribatid mite (Cepheus sp.) and two smaller red mites on a swarming spine fungus (Mucronella calva) on the underside of an old log, Findhorn Hinterland.
Because of their tiny size, these mites have a very different experience of the world to larger creatures such as birds or humans. Even the smallest bumps on the substrates that they live on create challenges for them to negotiate, and fungi such as the swarming spine fungus (Mucronella calva) provide a veritable obstacle course that needs to be traversed carefully, as can be seen in the short video clip below.
Predatory Rhagidiid mite on a pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
Other Orders of mites, apart from the Oribatid mites, have very different roles in the ecosystem, and their diets are correspondingly varied. Some of them are predatory, feeding on other very small organisms that live on, or inside, the habitat provided by dead wood. Some, like this predatory Rhagidiid mite with its semi-translucent white and yellow body, are quite exotic-looking in their appearance.
The mites live alongside a variety of other mini-beasts in what is for them the vast habitat provided by a log or a standing dead tree. Those include millipedes, centipedes, spiders and ants and I'll be featuring those and others in Part 4 of this blog.
Tiny orange-red female spider (Oonops pulcher) and an Oribatid mite in the Damaeidae family, found under the bark of a standing dead Scots pine, Findhorn Hinterland.
Millipede and a tiny black mite (Cepheus sp.) on an old pine log on the Findhorn Hinterland.
My thanks and appreciation to Peter Shaw and Frans Janssens for their help and expertise in identifying the springtails in my photographs in this blog, and to Joanna Makol for identifying the Rhagidiid mite.

Локалитет Градина налази се јужно од насеља у Постењу, месту које припада општини Нови Пазар. Заштићен је као споменик културе од 1989. године.

Историја
Хронологија локалитета обухвата седам културних хоризоната од којих прва три обухватају период праисторијеː енеолит, халштат и бронза. Антички период карактеришу грађевина и бенефицијарна станица. Утврђење датира из VI века и послужило је као основа утврђења из времена Јустинијанове грађевинске делатности широм и унутар Балкана. Два културна хоризонта везују се за периоде од IX до XII века.

Положај и изглед
Утврђење Градина налази се на веома повољном геостратешком положају, на 2 ĸm од Новог Пазара. Простире се дуж купастог узвишења недалеко од пута Нови Пазар-Рашка. Остаци бојеног малтера сведоче о некадашњој грађевини импозантних димензија. Осим грађевине, постојала је и бенефицијарна станица. Ова два дела су била међусобно повезана бедемом. Остаци бедема обухватају елипсоидну зараван на врху брда и мањи, нижи плато који се налази са северне стране главног утврђења.

Археолошка истраживања
Прва археолошка истраживања вршена су у периоду од 1982. до 1984. године. Истраживања постају систематска од 1988. године, током којих је откривено да је на утвђењу живот трајао са прекидима у периоду од гвозденог доба до средњег века. Конзервација откривених елемената започела је 1991. године, али је убрзо обустављена, као и сва даља археолошка испитивања.

Nothing to wear? No problem!
I love fashion, I love dressing people, I adore making outfits. I admit it I am a bit obsessed, and that could be one reason I enjoy my portrait sessions so much. Most women I know want to let their glamour girl out, it could be jean glamour - think Calvin Klein, or more Couture glamour, however if you are like me you don't own anything tailored. Other than going online and renting something (check out https://rentfrockrepeat.com/), you definitely only own a great pair of jeans and a black skirt or black dress you love. No problem! With a sash or two, I can create some sophisticated glam looks for your session. Since photos are worth more than words, here is a quick session I did with a friend of mine. I called the Session The Grey Sash, because .. well I did not have black.
With a little creativity I can create about 10 different looks for any session. The Sash can used on anyone, any body type, and any age. I love it so much I am making a few more in different colors likely black, seafoam, and possibly a cream color. Kendall loved the full length halter top and was a bit disappointed to have to take it off. She was joking about how she could wear it out to an event!
So, embrace your inner chic, and glam girl and don't worry if you think have 'nothing to wear', I can help you in that department and styling is part of the photoshoot, the images above prove it.
So, how would you like to be photographed?

I absolutely love baking. I absolutely love bringing my baking into work. I love it so much I'm doing it 1 to 2 times a week. I'd love to do it even more, and to do more ambitious bakes (yes, really...) Each of my bakes costs roughly £3 to £5 (depending on the ingredients and size of the bake). I estimate that over the last year I've probably spent over £200 on the ingredients for my work-bakes.
I don't want people to pay for my bakes, because it's my hobby and, at the end of the day, it's hardly a super expensive hobby (don't ask me how much I spend on wool!!). However, if you enjoy my bakes, and would love to see more and fancier bakes in the future, I'd love your support to make that happen.


NEW DELHI: Outgoing Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit Saturday said that Pakistan was ready to fulfill all the pre-requisite conditions necessary to hold plebiscite in J&K.
Basit's remarks came in response to a query by MLA Langate Abdul Rasheed Sheikh at a farewell function held for Basit in New Delhi, a statement issued by Rasheed said.
"It is necessary that Pakistani Govt. is clean over the issue so that all the confusions are cleared once for all," Rasheed said.
In response Basit said that Pakistan has always supported Kashmiris and their "just cause" of right to self determination and "will not waste a second when New Delhi and the United Nation come forward for the final resolution".
Earlier in the day, while intervening during the second day of the ongoing conference on J&K, Rasheed accused Indian media of forgetting the morality and ethics of journalism, the statement said.
Speaking during the discussion on role of Indian media vis-a-vis J&K dispute, which was attended by renowned journalists,. Rasheed said that supporting Major Gogoi, downplaying use of pellet guns, calling Kashmiris names and labeling even Hurriyat leaders as terrorists has eroded the credibility of Indian media not only in the eyes of Kashmiris but also in the eyes of sensible Indians. Later during the debate, Rasheed asked Omer Abdullah why he and Mehbooba Mufti cannot find common ground to tell New Delhi not to run away "from the real dispute," to which Omer Abdullah responded that though he had taken initiatives to develop the consensus but "Mehbooba always gave a very cold shoulder".


"People are always coming to us with their guilt and fears, but we have no one that we can go to when we have problems."
"Since we are all professionals, why dont we take some time right now to hear each other out?"
"I have an uncontrollable desire to kill my patients."
"I love expensive things and so I find ways to cheat my patients out of their money whenever I can so I can buy the things I want."
"Im involved with selling drugs and often get my patients to sell them for me."
"I know Im not supposed to, but no matter how hard I try, I cant keep a secret..."

The front door was accidentally left open and our dog was gone. After unsuccessfully whistling and calling, my husband got in the car and went looking for him. He drove around the neigbourhood for some time with no luck. Finally he stopped beside a couple out for a walk and asked if they had seen our dog.
A biker was riding along the road when he saw a girl about to jump off a bridge. So he stopped.
He gets off his bike and says, "Hey, honey, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he also didn't want to miss an opportunity, so he asked... "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
So she does... And it was a long, passionate, deep-tongued, lingering, thrilling kiss.
After she's finished, the biker says, "That was the best kiss I've had in a long time. That's a real talent you are going to waste. You're a hot, passionate, young thing. Why are you committing suicide?"
"Because, my parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."
Renault and Ford are collaborating on a new small car for women which should be far less susceptible to theft. They are mixing the Renault Clio and the Ford Taurus, calling it the Clitaurus. The average male thief won't be able to find it, let alone operate the damn thing!

Bob and Tom both like to golf. One day Bob went to Tom and said, "Hey look at this great ball!"
Tom replied, "Whats so great about it?"
Bob said, "Well if you lose it, it will beep until you find it, and if it goes into the water it will float. This ball is impossible to lose!"
"Wow!", said Tom, "Where did you get that from?"
Bob replied, "I found it."

Q: between_time not working on a pandas panel The method between_time is defined in a pandas panel object, I would expect this method to be applied to all dataframes in the panel, but this is not working. So what is this method doing?
Example
rng = pd.date_range('1/1/2013',periods=100,freq='D')
data = np.random.randn(100, 4)
cols = ['A','B','C','D']
df1, df2, df3 = pd.DataFrame(data, rng, cols), pd.DataFrame(data, rng, cols), pd.DataFrame(data, rng, cols)
pf = pd.Panel({'df1':df1,'df2':df2,'df3':df3})
pf.between_time('08:00:00', '09:00:00')

The above code returns this error

Nakamura, Y. et al., Le Cam, L. et al., Lee, K.A. et al., Paul, C. et al., Le Cam, L. et al., et al.
In addition to the E4 promoter, E4F1 interacts with other adenovirus early promoters and thus may be involved in the co-ordinate expression of E1a-inducible early viral genes .
E4F1 and PCAF mediate mutually exclusive posttranslational modifications of p53 .
Here, we identify the p53-associated factor E4F1, a ubiquitously expressed zinc-finger protein first identified as a cellular target of the viral oncoprotein E1A, as an atypical ubiquitin E3 ligase for p53 that modulates its effector functions without promoting proteolysis .
Together, these findings identify E4F1 as a key modulator of BMI1 activity in primitive hematopoietic cells .
Here we report the identification of E4F1, an inhibitor of cellular proliferation, as a novel BMI1-interacting partner in hematopoietic cells .
Previous experiments have identified E4F, an inducible cellular factor that binds to sequences in the adenovirus E4 promoter that are critical for E1A-dependent transcriptional activation .
E4F1, a possible inducer of cell growth arrest, was markedly increased only in ER alpha-positive VSMCs by estrogens in both microarray and RT-PCR analyses .
Collectively, our data reveal that E4F1 is a key posttranslational regulator of p53, which modulates its effector functions involved in alternative cell fates: growth arrest or apoptosis .
These and other results suggest that the E4 promoter may be comprised solely of multiple E4F1 binding sites and a TATA box .
A cellular transcription factor E4F1 interacts with an E1a-inducible enhancer and mediates constitutive enhancer function in vitro .
Mouse embryos lacking E4F die at an early developmental stage, whereas enforced expression of E4F1 in various cell lines inhibits cell cycle progression .
Assignment of the E1A-regulated transcription factor E4F gene (E4F1) to human chromosome band 16p13.3 by in situ hybridization and somatic cell hybrids .
This result suggests that E1A induction of the E4 promoter in HeLa cells is primarily mediated by E4F .
Embryos lacking E4F die at the peri-implantation stage, while in vitro-cultured E4F(-/-) blastocysts exhibit defects in mitotic progression, chromosomal missegregation, and increased apoptosis .
E4F1, a novel estrogen-responsive gene in possible atheroprotection, revealed by microarray analysis .
Here we demonstrate that p120(E4F) interacts with HDAC1 in vivo and in vitro, and that E4F-mediated transcriptional repression is alleviated by the HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A or by overexpressing Gam1 .
Blocking of E4F1 using siRNA suppressed estrogenic inhibition of ER alpha-positive VSMC proliferation .
This E4F1-FHL2 association occurs in the nuclear compartment and inhibits the capacity of E4F1 to block cell proliferation .
E4F1 is therefore considered one of the estrogen-responsive genes involving ER alpha-mediated inhibition of VSMC proliferation and may play an important role in estrogen-related atheroprotection of human aorta .
To address this issue, we generated E4F knockout mice by gene targeting .


One of the most continuous and on-going activities within the City of Wilmington is the improvement and construction of streets and drainage systems by private developers that are offered to the City to become public. Official Acceptance (OA) is the process of "turning over" these infrastructure improvements to the City for ownership, maintenance, and operation after construction of all public items are completed.
The OA process requires that improvements must be "dedicated", and improvements must be "accepted". Dedicated improvements are simply items identified on a final recorded plat to be 'public'. The recordation of the plat indicates that these specific items are to be eventually "accepted" as public. Accepted improvements are items that have been "dedicated" and have gone through the complete OA process.

title:   Swiftの型システムを読む その23 - ConstraintSystemにおけるConstraintGraphの使われ方
---

前回はConstraintGraph単体の実装を見たので、今回はConstraintSystemでの使われ方を見てみる。

## ConstraintGraphの使われ方 概要

1. 制約生成のタイミングでsimplifyしても解けなかった制約、つまり型変数を含む制約をグラフに登録しておく。
2. solve時にはBindもしくはDisjunctionから一つ選んで制約を追加 -> グラフを縮約の流れを続ける

## ConstraintGraph::addConstraint

一番よく使われるのは`ConstraintSystem::addUnsolvedConstraint` によってグラフに追加されるパターン。制約生成時に`ConstraintSystem`で`addConstraint`された場合まずできるだけsimplifyしてみて、それで解けた場合は`ConstraintRestrictions`等に記録して終わりみたいな流れなのだが、型変数を含んでいる場合は当然解けないので一旦`addUnsolvedConstraint` 経由でグラフに登録する。

```cpp
/// \brief Add a newly-generated constraint that is known not to be solvable
/// right now.
void addUnsolvedConstraint(Constraint *constraint) {
  // We couldn't solve this constraint; add it to the pile.
  InactiveConstraints.push_back(constraint);

  // Add this constraint to the constraint graph.
  CG.addConstraint(constraint);

  // Record this as a newly-generated constraint.
  if (solverState)
    solverState->addGeneratedConstraint(constraint);
}
```

またSolve時`solveSimplify`において`Disjunction`を試してく際にもグラフに追加される。

```cpp
// Put the disjunction constraint back in its place.
InactiveConstraints.insert(afterDisjunction, disjunction);
CG.addConstraint(disjunction);
```

## ConstraintGraph::removeConstraint

`solve` 時の `simplify`で`simplifyConstraint`が成功すると、グラフから取り除かれる。主な用途はそれくらい。

```cpp
bool ConstraintSystem::simplify(bool ContinueAfterFailures) {
    switch (simplifyConstraint(*constraint)) {
    case SolutionKind::Error:
        // 略
    case SolutionKind::Solved:
      // Remove the constraint from the constraint graph.
      CG.removeConstraint(constraint);

    case SolutionKind::Unsolved:
        // 略
    }
  }
}
```

## ConstraintGraph::optimize / mergeNodes / contractEdges

Solve時にはいろいろ制約を試しながら進めることになるが、制約追加後にグラフの縮約を行う。
具体的には`solveRec`で`optimize`が呼ばれている。

```cpp
// Contract the edges of the constraint graph.
CG.optimize();
```

縮約後に改めてcomponentを`computeConnectedComponents`で計算してみて、1つであればそのまま解きにいく。

```cpp
unsigned numComponents = CG.computeConnectedComponents(typeVars, components);
```

```cpp
// If we don't have more than one component, just solve the whole
// system.
if (numComponents < 2) {
  SmallVector<Constraint *, 8> disjunctions;
  collectDisjunctions(disjunctions);

  return solveSimplified(selectDisjunction(disjunctions), solutions,
                         allowFreeTypeVariables);
}
```

componentが2つ以上ある場合はそれぞれのcomponentについてSolutionを見つけ、すべての組み合わせを試して全体の解を見つける。

## まとめ

1. 制約生成のタイミングでsimplifyしても解けなかった制約、つまり型変数を含む制約をグラフに登録しておく。
2. solve時にはBindもしくはDisjunctionから一つ選んで制約を追加 -> グラフを縮約の流れを続ける

いまいちOrphanedConstraintsの使われ方を追いきれなかったので、もう少しコードリーディングを進めてから`solve` / `solveRec` / `solveSimplify`を読む際に追ってみる。


Prym twist-off fastenings is a 4 pieces set. Ideally suited to attach fabrics on a plastic or wooden surface. With their handy fastening you can repeatedly open and close them. The twist-off fastenings are easy to fit with an hammer and a screwdriver.


I would like to see more publicity with Love Life Charlotte (and Cities4Life Charlotte) and the March for Life (that happens once a year). Love Life usually gets poorly written about by the media. I think it would be great to have more accurate articles about what they do and their events. March for Life doesn't get much publicity by the media at all- besides Fox news. So I would be nice to see more about it during the time of the year when it happens. Thanks for all you do!! You are making a difference!

Michigan and space: New command and control center coming to Chippewa County
by: Ben Raymond
Posted: Jan 28, 2021 / 10:54 AM EST
Updated: Jan 28, 2021 / 06:15 PM EST
CHIPPEWA COUNTY, Mich. (WJMN) – On Thursday Morning, the Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association (MAMA) selected Chippewa County for its new Command and Control Center. The full release is below.
Local 3 News spoke with Gavin Brown, Executive Director of MAMA on Thursday, shortly after the announcement. The facility will be housed at Chippewa County International Airport. Brown says between the command and control center and the vertical launch site in Marquette, there is a potential for thousands of jobs to come into the region.
"We're looking at, including direct and indirect," said Brown. "So with the program in the U.P., with the Command and Control Center and the other opportunities coming from that, like with our 5G program and our space situational awareness, along with looking at how to track and retrieve space objects, I would say you're looking at anywhere from 250 to 2,500 jobs."
MAMA will be updating and expanding existing buildings on the airport property. Brown expects part of the facility to be functional by 2022. The center will serve as central location between the Oscoda horizontal launch site, and the vertical site in Marquette. The first projected launch date in Oscoda is August of 2023.
Upper Peninsula location named as space launch site
"We have letters of support from the community," added Brown. "I think what we've tried to do is listen, help people understand the mission we're trying to do. If you think about it, our mission of bringing the space economy to Michigan. A great question from folks is, 'Well, what does that mean to us in the U.P.?' What it really means is with our 5G program, to bring internet connectivity."
Brown says it will give more communities access to virtual doctor visits, help connect students and teachers. He says it will also help environmentalists with data information coming from space that allows them to look at climate issues in real time.
"We're looking at smaller rockets and only serving low Earth orbit," Brown continued. "Not those deep space programs. Which we will incorporate green technologies. So we're not looking to bring jobs at the expense of the environment. We're looking at bringing jobs that bring new technology and awareness to the environment."
Brown said they will make sure there is time for community input.
"Some of the environmentalists are expressing very good concerns. Remember, ours is a green program, said Brown. "Utilizing new technologies for propulsion. I want to make sure people understand, it's not bringing jobs that are not environmentally friendly. They are. But they are different."
So what are the potential environmental impacts of projects like these? Brown says they don't have answers to give at this time and are waiting until scientific studies are complete.
"We want to be fully transparent," said Brown. "I know some folks get frustrated and say, 'We want answers.' It's not that we don't want to give answers. We don't have them. We don't want to give answers until the environmental studies are done and those won't get started for another 8-12 months."
The latest Eastern U.P. news from WJMN Local 3
Upper Peninsula Community Is Third and Final Site In Michigan Launch Initiative
Sterling Heights, Mich. (Press Release) – The Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association, or MAMA, on Thursday announced the selection of Chippewa County in the state's Upper Peninsula as the site of its new command and control center.
Chippewa was among four communities across the state considered for the command and control center. Site selection – co-led by spaceport consultants BRPH and Kimley-Horn – was based on many factors, including community support, constructability, existing communication infrastructure and established workforce and aerospace industry.
Chippewa was chosen as the third and final site in the Michigan Launch Initiative, a public-private partnership organized by MAMA that is expected to bring an estimated 40,000 new jobs and solidify the state's place as a premier commercial aerospace destination. The new command and control center will enable the MLI to interface with the U.S. Department of Defense, or DOD, and other related agencies on highly sensitive and defense-related projects.
The Michigan Launch Initiative, or MLI, also includes a horizontal space launch site in Oscoda and a vertical space launch site in Marquette. Both sites were announced in 2020 as part of a yearlong selection process that included the command and control center.

The command and control center will support both launch sites and provide classified and unclassified capabilities for the DOD and commercial space organizations. It will manage satellite operations once rockets carrying small and midsized satellites are launched from the horizontal and vertical launch sites into low Earth orbit, or LEO, which about 1,200 miles above the Earth. It also will manage research and development for high-speed suborbital flights.
"This large and contiguous site in Chippewa has existing facilities that can easily be converted to support the command and control center's mission," said MAMA Executive Director Gavin Brown. "It also has early radar line of sight tracking for the horizontal and vertical launch sites to support our Michigan Launch Initiative. The Chippewa community's strong partnerships within the aerospace industry and its established aerospace labor market will allow for immediate support for the center.
"Upon future determination, a military aspect will be key in the MLI, enabling us to interface with the Department of Defense on projects that utilize satellites and other space assets. Michigan's new launch sites and our evolving space ecosystem will help position our state to be a true leader. We are thrilled to welcome Chippewa to the MLI team."
Now that the command and control center site has been selected, MAMA will work with community, local and state partners on environmental permitting, site design and construction.
"We are extremely pleased with and excited about the selection of Chippewa County for the command and control center location," said Chippewa County Economic Development President Chris Olson. "Chippewa's proposal provides an ideal balance of industry expertise, local know-how and national security space proficiency necessary for the successful implementation of a premier command and control center."
The DOD plans to add 17,000 LEO satellites over the next decade – a significant increase over the 1,200 satellites currently there. Michigan's new launch sites will help meet this demand while providing a multibillion dollar impact on the state's economy.
The MLI is working to obtain licensing approvals for the Oscoda horizontal launch site and the Marquette vertical launch site. Operations are expected to begin at the horizontal space launch site in late 2023 or early 2024 and at the vertical space launch site by early 2025.
In June 2019, the Michigan Legislature appropriated $2 million to assess the feasibility of developing one or more low-orbit launch sites in the state. Michigan is uniquely positioned to meet the demand for commercial, government and defense space launches. Specifically, Northern Michigan – north of the Earth's 45th parallel – is perfectly situated for polar orbit launches and it has ideal infrastructure for logistics and technical support.
"These are exciting times in the space industry," Brown said. "The space domain is critical to both our national security and economic viability. Space is a significant growth area for both the DOD and commercial sectors for the foreseeable future. We are honored to be leading this effort."

Q: VHDL : Array of records with variable field length size I am trying to implement a generic std_logic_vector data logger for a testbench. This component would generate an output signal for each signal logged.
Each signal should be of the type t_probe
type t_probe is record:
  min_delay : time;
  max_delay : time;
  num_exp_words : integer;
  trig_lvl : std_logic;
  data: std_logic_vector;
  done : std_logic;
end record;

Would like to have a probe array record type:
type t_probe_array is array(0 to c_n_probes - 1) of t_probe;

Now , I have the problem of declaring a st_probe signal type which has the "data" field constrained:
signal coarse_probe : t_probe

Will obviously crash when launching simulation. Can anyone indicate how to define and initialize such an array?
thanks!

A: It is assumed that this is required for simulation only?
Then you could work with variables and access types (probably the workaround @Tricky was mentioning above?).
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;

entity tst014 is
end entity tst014;

architecture sim of tst014 is
    type pstring is access string;
    type rec is record
        ps      : pstring;
    end record;
    type rec_array is array(natural range <>) of rec;
begin
    p : process
        variable recs     : rec_array(1 to 3);
    begin
        recs(1) := (ps => new string'("Hello"));
        recs(2) := (ps => new string'("World!"));

        report "recs(1).ps.all = " & recs(1).ps.all severity note;
        report "recs(2).ps.all = " & recs(2).ps.all severity note;
    end process p;
end architecture sim;

Q: How to pass parameters to a WCF REST method using WinJS.xhr? I am trying to pass parameters to my WCF which uses REST to pass data.
The definition of my method is :
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
           ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
void newUserAndImageEntry(byte[] pArrayImage, string pContentType, string pUserName, string pFileName);

What I am trying is sort of :
WinJS.xhr({ url: "http://localhost:9814/Student.svc/newUserAndImageEntry" })
    .then(function (r ) {
        DO WHAT?;
    });

But dont know what to do in the function or if I have to pass my parameters in advance..

A: Your operation as is won't work - since you have more than one parameter, you need to define the BodyStyle property as Wrapped (or WrappedRequest - in your scenario, since the operation doesn't have a return value, it doesn't matter):
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
           ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
           BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest)]
void newUserAndImageEntry(byte[] pArrayImage, string pContentType,
    string pUserName, string pFileName);

Another problem is that byte arrays probably isn't a good type to receive data from JavaScript - it will be received as an array of numbers which is not very efficient. Doing some preprocessing on the client - for example, to encode the bytes as base64, will give you a smaller payload
[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
           ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
           BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest)]
void newUserAndImageEntry(string pArrayImageAsBase64, string pContentType,
    string pUserName, string pFileName);

Now for the client side: you need to pass your parameters in the data field in the object you pass as a parameter. Something like the code below. Check the WinJS.xhr documentation for more details on the call.
var arrayImage = getArrayImage();
var arrayImageBase64 = convertToBase64(arrayImage);
var contentType = 'image/jpeg';
var userName = 'johndoe';
var fileName = 'balls.jpg';
var data = {
    pArrayImageAsBase64: arrayImageBase64,
    pContentType: contentType,
    pUserName: userName,
    pFileName: fileName
};
var xhrOptions = {
    url: "http://localhost:9814/Student.svc/newUserAndImageEntry",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    data: JSON.stringify(data)
};
WinJS.xhr(xhrOptions).done(
    function (req) {
        // Call completed, find more info on the parameter
    }, function (req) {
        // An error occurred, find more info on the parameter
    });


I love thinking about life and laugh at it, whether it's the past, present or the future expectation. Simple little things that are sometimes silly and we're shy to talk about to people while actually others are doing the same silly things. We can feel connected to others when one can open up through many mediums, it can be words, songs, videos, drawings, etc. I've tried some of them, now I'm trying a new one for my own amusement to laugh about my life, maybe people can feel related to it.
Since in school, I've been always the type of student who draws anything that happens in her head about the class–and sometimes the teachers–in her friends' books (not in my books, i liked to keep my own books clean and free from evidence just in case unexpected bad things happened).
My skill in drawing is just so-so or maybe below average, but I have the ability to express myself well, or at least to me my drawings are still understandable. Using my Samsung tablet, I like to draw random things from silly, good, somewhat inspirational, and naughty (wink!) things and send them to people I am close to. A bit out of topic, it's why I decided to buy my Samsung Tablet that comes with a stylus pen instead of an overpriced Apple Ipad. Though the real reason was because I was too poor to afford one.
I've been posting some of them on my Instagram and made it one of the regular contents in my account (beside my self-obsessed selfies). I even tried to manage the display of my account to make my doodles ordered in one line because I am somewhat OCD, but it means have to regularly post one doodle every after 2 posts, otherwise it will hurt those pedantic eyes. I use black background and white ink color only to be my trademark, few times I put more colors, but the black background is a fixed one.
Here are some of my doodles, will be posting more of it here later. Visit and follow my IG for more. Cheers!

Five major absentees from IPL 2020
Azeem Siddiqui
The beginning of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is now less than two weeks away and the excitement is increasing among cricket fans all over the world to witness high-class action.
This year's IPL is set to be a different one compared to the previous editions, largely because of the circumstances in which the tournament will be played.
The competition will be organised in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) instead of India due to worsening coronavirus pandemic condition in the subcontinent.
The IPL will be held under strict protocols where all the teams will remain inside a biosecure bubble in order to ensure the safety of athletes and officials involved in the competition.
Like every year, this year's IPL will also feature some of the best players on the planet whereas a few big names will not be able to participate due to various reasons.
We have identified five big names who will not be able to take part in the IPL 2020.
Jason Roy (Delhi Capitals)
First in the list features Delhi Capitals star opening batsman Jason Roy who will miss this year's competition due to a side strain injury. The 2019 World Cup-winning opener was signed by the Delhi franchise for more than $210,000 and will be replaced by young all-rounder from Australia Daniel Sams. Roy's absence will have a serious impact on the prospect of Capitals in the upcoming campaign where the batting lineup is relatively young.

In mid-December 2012 I spoke as part of a panel entitled 'Australia: The Lucky Country? Capitalism and its Discontents' along with Kristen Lyons as part of the Brisbane Free University. A podcast can be found here. It was a great night and BFU is a wonderful initiative.


It has been a good year so far for Weight Watchers (NYSE: WTW) shareholders. The stock more than doubled during the first half of 2018 compared to a 2% increase in the S&P 500, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The rally has pushed the stock back into positive territory after it shed over 80% of its value between 2012 and 2015.
Investors are excited about the many positive benefits of Weight Watchers' partnership with Oprah Winfrey, whose personal brand has clearly lifted Weight Watchers' franchise. Her spokesperson appearances helped the weight loss specialist make major membership gains last year as it transitioned to an online-focused subscription model. And that growth has accelerated in 2018, with subscriber numbers up 29% in the most recent quarter. The boost helped net income nearly quadruple to $39 million.
Increasing profitability led management to dramatically boost its outlook in early May. CEO Mindy Grossman and her team now see earnings rising to between $3 to $3.20 per share, up from their prior target of between $2.40 to $2.70 per share.
Those aggressive goals are premised on continued participation by Winfrey in its advertising, and that is completely at her discretion. But, given that the media mogul owns a significant stake in Weight Watchers, it's in her interest to keep supporting its growth.
