'Consistently interesting & valuable experience': ORPHEUS DESCENDING – Menier Chocolate Factory
In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Maryam Philpott 16th May 2019 Leave a Comment
Menier Chocolate Factory, London – until 6 July 2019
The rediscovered and restaging of the lesser-known works of major playwrights has been something of a trend in London theatres recently. Duncan MacMillan and Ian Rickson's critically acclaimed production breathed new life into Ibsen's Rosmersholm with its modernist female-lead and political storyline that found new resonances, making a reasonable case for the play's inclusion amongst Ibsen's finest writing. Last year Rebecca Frecknall and Patsy Ferran did the same for Tennessee Williams's Summer and Smoke, but despite the many good things about Tamara Harvey's new production of Orpheus Descending it's never going to be considered a neglected masterpiece.
Yet even a middling Tennessee Williams play is better than most, and this one still has plenty to say about sacrifice and suffocation in small-town America. Written in 1957, this is mid-period Williams, it comes after greats such as The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire and immediately followed Cat on a Hot Tin Roof but before Sweet Bird of Youth and Night of the Iguana a revival of which opens at the Noel Coward in June. Orpheus Descending didn't last long on its debut and the play has a number of structural problems which even Harvey's fine production cannot entirely overcome.
With the entirety of the play set in the Torrance store, much of the action happens off-stage either in other locations or between scenes, so what the audience hears is either character memories or town gossip which can make the action feel a little static or, in places, too fast moving. What set Williams's greatest works apart is the family setting in which long-buried tensions and frustrations are triggered and released by the catalytic action of the play, examined through long character-driven exchanges. Additional context has happened before and around the action, but Williams ensures the storm gathers and breaks in front of us.
Orpheus Descending has elements of that but with the key focus on the disconcerting arrival of a handsome stranger causing chaos in the town, Williams is only partially successful. His protagonist here Valentine Xavier, known as Val, is the agent of change despite his intention to live a cleaner life now he's 30. His arrival is a chance for the townsfolk to exorcise a past act – the burning of the wine garden and orchard which resulted in the death of Lady's father – and to confront the truth about its consequences many years later. Val may exacerbate this knowledge, but he has no connection to it which reduces some of the play's tension.
Val and Lady (daughter of the deceased owner of the wine garden, derogatorily referred to as "The Wop" throughout) have most of the conversation but with less than four months acquaintance by the end of the play there are no damaging secrets or withheld frustrations between them that energise Williams's better works. Val's travelling loner status and wild past is interesting, but he lacks the raw jealous control of Stanley Kowalski or the stunted boyhood bitterness of Brick Pollitt that reverberates around the family unit caught helplessly in their self-destructive force. Instead, Williams has to place these legacy resentments and secrets in the hands of characters we hardly get to see, lessening their impact even in the play's dramatic and revelatory final scene.
But Orpheus Descending is by no means a bad play, and Harvey's production which opened at Theatre Clwyd in April, makes the best of it with a well-paced ¾ round production that focuses on Williams's engaging character studies and the impressionistic sketch of a small town full of fears and repressed emotion. Jonathan Fensom takes a simple approach to setting, and rather than creating a general store full of stock and a shop counter instead offers a scattering of fold-up chairs and a few tables to give the look of a café or outside picnic area. Serving as the shop doorway, the rear wall is dominated by a large wooden archway with slightly singed boards – quietly referencing the fire at the Moon Lake wine garden that took Lady's father's life. This obscures the "Confectionary" that Lady is adding to the building, and the town beyond where so much of the drama takes place away from the audience's view.
One of Harvey's most intriguing inventions is to use the character of Uncle Pleasant as a kind of Chorus, echoing the Greek legend on which the story is based. An almost mute character in Williams's original, a local "Conjure Man" who frightens some of the more highly-strung ladies but used to imply freedom from the oppressive rules of this exclusionist and racist town that resists all outsiders, Val included. Harvey has given Valentine Hanson's Uncle Pleasant carefully selected passages from the stage directions to read at various points through the play, almost as though the character is "conjuring" the store and its people as a moral warning to the viewer. It's an interesting and welcome technique that adds additional layers to the production, although perhaps is used too sparingly to create a sense of inevitability to the same extent as the narrated structure of Greek legends do.
The repression of wildness and its consequences is a key theme, one which Williams handles with particular skill. The notion of the store is juxtaposed as a metaphor for commercial exchange repeatedly referenced in the play, and something which Harvey's version draws attention to, the idea of people being bought and sold in marriage and other forms of oppressive relationship. Lady is central to this and right at the start of the play townswoman Beulah (Catrin Aaron) explains to the audience that store owner Jabe "bought her, when she was a girl of eighteen! He bought her and bought her cheap." Later in the play, during a slightly rushed and unlikely conversation with David Cutrere who left her to marry a richer woman Lady tells him "You sold yourself. I sold myself. You was bought. I was bought." Even Val says "I'm telling you, lady, there's people bought and sold in this world like carcasses of hogs in butcher shops!"
This is designed to show us the psychological state of many of the characters, limited by the confines of their location and broken down by lives they never wanted. While women like Beulah and Dolly (Laura Jane Matthewson) are happier with their lot, the three more central characters – Val, Lady and Carol Cutrere – are caged animals like many a Williams character, unable to tame their natural wildness however many years they live in confinement. Carol is perhaps the most tragic of these with Jemima Roper at first suggesting a woman much more at ease with who and what she us, unashamed and almost proud of the stares and the gossip her appearance and behaviour elicits. Carol is the only character to be friendly to Uncle Pleasant, while openly and lustfully pursuing Val throughout the play.
Yet, Roper allows us to see the vulnerability and essential fragility in Carol as the action unfolds, explaining that her over-made-up appearance is a mask of expectation, a self-proclaimed "exhibitionist" oppressed by the family name and acting out for effect. But Roper shows us that Carol's bravado, the drink, the partying, the men on Cyprus Hill are manifestations of her broken spirit, the obsession with Val and her increasing desperation has a real tragedy in Roper's performance that underscores Williams's core theme about the artificial restrictions places on people not build for ordinary society.
Hattie Morahan's Lady is in a slightly different kind of cage, one she built herself by aligning with the much older Jabe. At the start of the play her strength and determination are emphasised, there's a no-nonsense feel to her that seems practical and different to the other women in the town, unaffected by Val's handsome face. Lady sits on the boundary of insider and outsider status, still seen as the daughter of someone who didn't belong but through sheer determination forced herself into the town's structure through marriage and in maintaining the focal-point store.
Yet, as the play unfolds, Morahan allows this resignation to slowly unpeel, revealing a woman more deeply scarred by the death of her father and the former relationship that would have offered a happier life. The early conversations with Val are played as two equals, employer and employee without an underlying sexual tension which suggests Lady's emotional centre is more tightly controlled, that she's not looking for an escape route. Morahan instead implies that the passion between them is more spontaneous, their eventual chemistry growing out of being listened to and respected for the first time in years, which unleashes a torrent (linking to her married surname) of emotion and a trembling hope that makes the finale both poignant and powerful. It's an approach that yields rewards in Morahan's interesting and meaningful interpretation of a woman rediscovering her spirit.
Seth Numrich is an experienced Williams leading man, having previously starred alongside Kim Cattrall in The Old Vic's Sweet Bird of Youth, and his Val finds himself at a crucial decision point in his life. Having just turned 30, he's trying to turn his back on his former fast-paced lifestyle and unlike Carol struggles less with the desire to find something more wholesome. Numrich presents a calm figure, detached from those around him seeking a kind of peace. His chemistry with Lady develops slowly, as friendship becomes something else. It may not be a grand burning passion, but the steadier coming together of two damaged souls.
But as the play unfolds his old life starts to call him back, releasing he cannot so easily switch-off the old desires and struggling to transition to the better, more stable man he wants to be. Numrich's finest moment is later in the play at a crucial point of revelation, one which Val embraces with genuine delight, finally offered the chance, albeit momentarily, to be all the things he hoped for, a scene that Numrich suggests is crucial to the psychology of Val, a traveller looking for direction.
Following Harvey's recent West End success with Home, I'm Darling, this production of Orpheus Descending similarly examines the one-size-fits-all role women have been expected to play in society and how damaging that can be. The chilly auditorium may reflect Lady's frequent complaints about the coldness in the store after dark – the Menier perhaps making it a little too immersive – but this well-performed and considered production is a consistently interesting and valuable experience. It's not Williams's best work by any means but the complexity of his character portraits and its comment on "them and us" attitudes still hold considerable meaning for modern audiences.

Reader SubmissionsRebootTransportation
A couple months I Rebooted Providence Station. Shortly after that, Portland, Oregon based architect Jonathan Winslow forwarded me the plan he did for the station area while he was a student at RISD.
On his website you can see that Jonathan's plan is a complete re-imagining of the existing train station. The new station features an atrium allowing light to reach down to the railroad platforms, an attached hotel, expanded restaurant and retail space, visitor information, new ticket booths, expaned waiting areas, and more.
Outside the station, where Station Park is now, Jonathan proposes a promenade connecting the station to the mall, a perpendicular promenade connecting the State House and Waterplace, a dining building, open space with a water feature, and more office buildings completing the streetwall on Francis Street.
A streetcar loop would connect the new station to Providence Place and Kennedy Plaza.
Jonathan has further explanations about his designs and many many more cool renderings on his website. You need to check it out.
Amtrak Capital Center MBTA Providence Station Reader Submissions Reboot Redevelopment Transportation
Interchanges, Tolls, and Transit
State House Rally for RIPTA, August 17
It's quite an ambitious plan and I like the overall idea. That said, the actual station building is hideous. It would be an atrocity to have that hulking glass box so close to our beautiful state house – GTech is already close enough.
AJP081384 says:
I love this. However, is it even possible to build on Station park?
It would be technically possible to build over the Amtrak tunnels but unlikely for two reasons (at least in the near term), Amtrak's recalcitrance, and the abundance of available land throughout the city. In city's like New York and Boston that are built out, air-rights developments are feasible, we are not at that point in Providence.
There is quite a bit of land at Station park that is not over the rail tunnel, and Jonathan's plan could be altered for that. The green Promenade would still extend to the mall, it would just reach the mall at the intersection of Finance Way, rather than mid-block.
Peter Brassard says:
Jonathan Winslow's effort is heroic. A great deal of thought has gone into this project and on many levels. This is the kind of planning/urban design is what the city and state should be engaged in. It's too easy and premature to criticize specifics about architecture with this overall strategy. What would actually be built, if this proposal were adopted would look very different by the time construction were to begin.
Having said that a positive aspect of the station design is the experience from within, which has inspiration from the original New York Penn Station. The main station space would be breathtaking. The building envelope could be modified for those who find it offensive, but the basic concept is powerful.
From an urban design standpoint, I question the two Francis Street buildings. They're too timid and flimsy in their bulk. They don't hold up to the giant volume of the mall and don't offer a strong counterpoint to the station/hotel building. One possible option could be to design them with multiple heights to respond to varying neighboring buildings.
The light-rail line is an interesting approach, which differs from earlier discussions on this topic. What Jonathan is proposing would begin to reintegrate the metropolitan region by rail, which as has been discussed so many times before been dominated by car culture for the last 60 years. A future extension of the light-rail could reach to New Bedford and the Cape. For the train station commuter and regional trains, I suggest adding a third platform and a sixth track.
If only a fraction of this proposal were to be built Providence would greatly benefit. A newly designed station, such as this one, could become icon on a grand international scale.
Claude Masse says:
Powerful idea here. I agree with Mr Brassard that the frontage with Providence Place should step up torwards The GTech.Mr Winslow has truly given a whole lot of thought&energy to this project.Wouldn't be something if most of these renderings were realized to the letter.It helps too that the architect is surrounnded by the city of Portland while he works.That can only inspire the man.
After a thought mining night of considering the hopes and dreams of urbanists worldwide,I culled projects realized throughout history.This transportation gate to Providence makes a whole lotta' scense.
First;Providence has always fielded grand structures to make the population contemplate,consider Teft's Union Station of 1845.The nation's largest train station at the time(vision19th century style)Providence was perhaps the 14th or 15th most populous municipality at the time.
Back through the city's history,urbanists have always stepped up giving the city first rate reservoirs,gas light systems etc. That leading edge excitement,as we see,has not gone dorment.
Today a youngProvidence educated urbanist like Teft has shown his Vision.Anything short of this excitement should not be tolerated.
Thank you for the responses, I really appreciate the feedback and critique.
My plan was to do a rather simple, muted, symmetrical building exterior for the station/hotel to make up for the bulk of the building so that it helps minimize its visual impact on the Statehouse. Although at the same time I do feel a central train station IS a major civic building and deserves some significance. Since the hotel atop the station was going to provide some mass to the station building anyway, I felt the mass would be the way to portray this building's significance and then play down the exterior.
The station building mass and height is really about on par with the Providence Place Mall and Renaissance hotel, both of which are directly across the street from the Statehouse lawn and perhaps even closer to the Statehouse than this station, so I don't think proposing this mass here is too out-there. And of course there are the much taller WaterPlace towers only a little further back. I do certainly respect and am happy to hear of the concerns over aesthetics, mass and height with building in such close proximity to the Statehouse. These concerns are certainly very valid and important given the architectural significance of the Statehouse as masterpiece building and the civic importance of the Statehouse as a place of governance and representative of the people of the state of RI.
I really wanted to create a gateway to the city with sense of arrival and a station that communicated that Providence was an important city, both of which I find lacking in the current station.
I very much agree about the two Francis Street buildings. They were designed as background buildings with little design attention and were really just simple blank masses extruded from a footprint. It was through rendering this site, that I had to give them some basic aesthetics. They should definitely be taller and more articulated in form. The design focus was almost entirely on the train station building and the site plan for Station Park.
I should add that I called it Providence Union Station despite the fact that Providence already has/had a station with that name because it is the term for a grand gateway busy train station and that is what I was hoping to create/bring back to Providence (plus the old Providence Union Station is no longer a train station).
I hope this can add to the dialogue and help stir ideas for what this under-performing yet important site could be.
I wish everyone in RI the best and a safe uneventful outcome from Hurricane Irene.
Personally, I don't get twisted about building near the State House. I think creating dramatic view corridors from Francis Street and Exchange Street more than make up for any concerns about too much height too close to the State House.
As for the station name, there was a group working on a bus depot for the area which they called Gaspee Station. Providence Gaspee Station is a nice name.

Q: How do I start a new instance of PHP in Windows without it opening a new CMD window? I want multiple PHP processes to run in the background without disturbing the user. This is the code I have:
exec("psexec -d php peak.php map/eline/updatedotrange first=$first last=$last filename=$filename > NUL 2> NUL");

But for every exec statement, a new CMD pops up. This kinda ruins it for me when I'm looping 100 times and running that line.
Any way I can get the process to run in the background, without the user noticing?

A: I solved it using bgrun.exe

Stratified MRT paper accepted at Annals of Applied Statistics

September 2, 2019

My paper on
the stratified micro-randomized trial
was just accepted at the Annals of Applied Statistics.  This paper was
written in collaboration with my postdoctoral mentor Susan Murphy.
The paper covers a wide range of topics.  The work was motivated by a recent
mobile health smoking cessation trial Sense2Stop which serves as a
running example in the paper. In this study, participants are
trained in stress reduction exercises prior to their smoking quit
date. Apps that can be used to guide the participant through the exer-
cises are installed on study-provided phone. These apps can be
accessed at any time by a participant. However, a common problem is
that at the very times at which practicing these exercises might be
most useful, participants do not do so. The scientific team is most
interested in understanding whether reminders to practice
stress-reduction exercises will be useful in reducing/preventing
future stress if the reminders are delivered at times the participant
is classified as stressed.

Micro‐randomized trials (MRTs) are trials in which participants are
randomly assigned a treatment from the set of possible treatment
actions at several times throughout the day. Thus each participant may
be randomised hundreds or thousands of times over the course of a
study. This is very different than a traditional randomised trial, in
which participants are randomised once to one of a handful of
treatment groups. Stratified MRTs are micro-randomized trials in
which an individual is randomized among treatments at times determined
by predictions constructed from outcomes to prior treatment and with
randomization probabilities depending on these outcomes.
Stratification is required to ensure sufficient treatment and
non-treatment occasions across risk strata.
In Sense2Stop, randomizations to treatment should occur at times of
stress and second the outcome of interest accrues over a period that
may include subsequent treatment.

Topics covered

The paper covers a wide range of topics:

Experimental design

Causal inference

Simulation design for power calculations

The causal calculus highlights the difficulty in expressing the
primary scientific hypothesis in terms of a causal effect.
The design accounts for the fact that online monitoring of the
stratification variable was required.
The primary analysis method is based on a weighted-centered approach
that is quite general.
The power calculations require a simulation-based approach that
leverages prior data in the simulation design.

The scientific question motivating the paper was:

Is there an effect of the reminder treatment on near-term, proximal stress if the individual is currently experiencing stress? Does the effect of the reminder treatments vary with time in study?

Of course, the methods and design are general and should be useful to
applied health scientists interested in scientific questions regarding
nested causal effects of time-varying treatments.
I hope you enjoy the paper; if you have any comments or questions,
please feel to reach out to me via e-mail.

Hailey Baldwin had a pretty good time at the 2016 Met Gala—maybe too good of a time. The model tweeted a photo of her broken foot which happens to be the same foot she broke last year at the same event.
"WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND METBALL? Lol," she tweeted along with an image of her foot in a brace. Hailey wasn't featured in too many red carpet photos, but the model was spotted going to different after-parties.
See Hailey's broken foot from this year and last year below along with some photos of her at this year's Met Gala.
After hosting Monday night's 2016 Met Gala, Taylor Swift wasn't ready for the fun to end. The "Out Of The Woods" singer made her way to the official afterparty held at the Boom Boom Room while others, like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato, kept things fairly quiet. Later, Taylor enjoyed an old-fashioned sleepover with the ladies of HAIM.
Taylor and sisters Este, Danielle and Alana Haim traded in their designer gowns for animal-themed pajamas and a couple of pizzas. Taylor donned a unicorn onesie, complete with a horned hood, while the sisters were a white cat and pair of Dalmatians.
Taylor shared a photo of the fun via Instagram. Check it out below.
What do you think of their jammies?
Demi Lovato attended her first Met Ball on Monday night and the singer is already saying it may be her last. While on the red carpet, Demi was photographed with designer Jeremy Scott and Nicki Minaj. In the picture, Nicki looked as if she was giving Demi some major side eye for interrupting the photo op.
Iggy Azalea is finding the need to defend herself once again, but it has nothing to do with the name Becky. This time, it had everything to do with the Met Gala.
While searching her name on Twitter, the rapper came across two users that were discussing ways to get invited to the event. Since Iggy wasn't there, they assumed that it meant she didn't know any designers.
According to Iggy, she chose not to go the Met Gala because she feels uncomfortable at events.

One of the bands we caught down in Austin that we hadn't seen before but had listened to plenty was White Wires. They definitely outdid our expectations [Not saying that in a like "We weren't expecting it to be good" kind of way, more just like a "Man, I was expecting that to rule, but it fucking kicked ass" kind of way] Their latest record, WWII, came out a little bit ago on Dirtnap and they just put out a video for one of the tracks off it. It's that one up there. Don't be deceived though, it might look like they're partying on the beach in the sand, but that's really just snow. Canada can be cold. In related news, we finally got to hang for a minute with our fave-babe Peach Kelli Pop. She's a total sweetheart. And, if you didn't all ready know, her debut LP [originally released on Going Gaga] is being repressed by Infinity Cat. Get stoked!

Days ahead of the Union Budget, NewsX was recently joined for a riveting discussion on '2021 Union Budget: My Expectation' presented by Akshaya Motors. Considering how 2020 and the pandemic went for all, it's important that we have a well-balanced budget to give a boost to most of the sectors. This show included experts namely DN Prahalad, Former Independent Director, Infosys, & Founder, Surya Software, Dr. MP Shyam Shetty, President, FADA, Karnataka, and K Gururaj Acharya, leading CA in Bengaluru. They spoke about the various industries and what they expect from the Budget this year and sharing insights on their respective sectors.
Since work from home became the new normal Mr. Prahalad talked about how the industry has done during this time. He said, "It's a mixed bag out there. The industry can be divided into services and products. In services, those companies who operate above 100crore will do well because first, they were able to get people working from home very fast. 95% of the workforce was working from home effectively, within a month. Therefore, most customers believe they should be bet on. We have a phenomenon called vendor consolidation happening, so IT companies will do well. When it comes to productivity, work from home has thrown the Jekyll and Hyde phenomenon. People who were productive before have increased their hours of productivity whereas people who weren't productive before, have gone down to zero. Therefore, work from home has had its ups and downs but I expect people to get back to the office soon. I expect 30-40% of the workforce to continue working from home. Lastly, we'll have profits because we have not been traveling for projects, sales and it amounts to 2% or more of expenses, so we'll show profits but they will be pseudo profits because the sales are cannibalized of later years. Overall, the industry is resilient and will prosper the moment traveling starts".
Automobiles was one of the sectors which took a hit by the lockdown for the first two quarters, sharing his insights, Dr. Shyam said, "The automobile industry has bounced back after the pandemic. The problem it is facing today is the problem of supply, not demand. Because of this pandemic, people have come back to the dealerships to buy personal cars due to safety concerns about using public transport. The industry has come back and 2021 will be a good year for the industry. Due to the pent-up demand, since the market was down in March, April, May, and June, July and August were slow. Demand picked up during the festival season but as of now dealers have less inventory and there is a backlog with almost all companies and they have sold out the 2020 stock. The problem is of stock supply to the dealers".
For taxmen, it's been an equally tough year as deadlines have been extended on a number of occasions. Mr. Acharya, said, "Timelines were pushed for individuals and companies. The time given was sufficient but those who do not want to pay taxes will ask for more extensions. When govt announced the 'aatmanirbhar' scheme they did good and went to the extent of reducing the TDS rates by 25% and leaving that much money in the hands of the payer. There is still a grudge against the government, questioning what has been given. Whatever reduction has been done in TDS will come back in the form of advance tax, if we look at the person who's suffering real losses, he's actually left with that much more money which would've earlier been paid to the tax department. That way, the reduction of TDS rates by the government is welcomed. Our institute gives a lot of recommendations to the government about what should be added to the budget. This time we haven't asked for reduction in the rates because the government has already reduced the rates to rock bottom. Pre-pandemic, the government had slashed the corporate rates and made them as low as 15%. Reduction in taxes even for individuals, they are given the option."
Mr. Prahalad further spoke about how beneficial were the 'Aatmanirbhar' packages provided by the government. He said, "If you see it only from the point of view of the IT industry, I don't think it's relevant because most IT companies have a positive cash flow or they are well-funded. For MSME's in general, the credit guarantee scheme for me is fantastic as it didn't cost anyone anything but helped everyone instead. People got credit guarantee under this scheme, it should be seen whether this guarantee scheme should be given to big companies because the banks can't lend, so they need to create opportunities". Referring to the financial fugitives in India, Mr. Prahalad said, "We should not have uncontrolled lending and the crookedness of an individual doesn't depend on the scheme or the bank. There will always be people who will defraud but they need to be punished. The credit guarantee scheme really worked for people".
Talking about the automobile industry, the recent tensions with China, and whether the government could've done better, Dr. Shetty said, "What the government could do is that a lot of dealers fall under MSME category, under 400 crores and a lot of them are partnership firms. Corporate taxation should be reduced for proprietary companies and partnership firms as that will help the automobile industry because it directly employs almost 2.5 million people and 5 million people indirectly. The second thing to look at is, there is a high rate of taxes on luxury cars, the GST is 28%, which can be reduced to boost demand. Third, 80% of the vehicles sold are two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and light vehicles so, public transport isn't very good in the country and people are scared after the pandemic. So, reducing taxes on two-wheelers because it's what the common man wants".
Coming to taxation and talking about the need of the hour, things that are archaic and can be done away with in order to help taxation at all levels, Mr. Acharya said, "What we have recommended is to reduce the burden on businessmen and focus on the ease of doing business. The industry wants a reduction in paperwork, archaic laws, and various rules and inconsistencies in Acts. The wish list is, first, tax the untaxed, those who work under the radar. Second, reduce the burden. Third, dividend income was taxed last year but if it was a loan, eventually people may have to incur losses. Fourth, set on of losses or carry backward of losses. Certain companies do very well but a lot of them have incurred losses but this year the turnover has reduced drastically to provide support in present times. While work from home has been a boon for many industries, the real estate sector has suffered because this sector needs to be handheld. They have inventory that is unsold, the company holding the inventory ought to pay taxes on the notional rent that has to be collected. I would like to put personal taxes on two levels- the businessman's personal tax and the salaried man's personal tax. This country traditionally survives on a salary man's taxes and I'd ask the government to look into- an increase of standard deduction and give certain relaxations and liberalize some rules".
The software industry enjoys certain perks, talking about his expectations for the software industry, Mr. Prahalad said, "The tax rate has reduced already. Two things, product companies have a rough time because the first five years are an investment and they need support, I would suggest there be no tax on them because the reduction will give them money to grow, create employment and companies between 10-100 crores".
Speaking about startups and the schemes for those, Mr. Prahalad said, "Socially, we must understand that failures are okay because our society thinks it's bad. Second, people have given up in the beginning but they shouldn't for the first five years. Startups should have zero complaints in the beginning".
Giving the wish list of the automobile sector, Dr. Shyam said, "We're thankful that the government has brought in the new depreciation scheme which is valid till March 2021 and should be extended to 2022 so that people can buy more vehicles. Second, individuals should be allowed depreciation in their hands so that they can purchase vehicles. Third, reduction of corporate tax for companies, we request the government to do so for partnership firms and proprietary firms because the auto dealers come under this category. Fourth, auto dealers should be kept out of the annual TCS because every transaction with banks, there's a payment of 0.1% TCS and this leads to blockage of funds. Lastly, an attractive scrap age policy. This would boost the industry and hopefully the government comes out with such a policy to boost the manufacturing sector in automobiles, lead to the higher collection of GST, boost sales, and have 360-degree benefit".

Oops! Lindsey Graham might've just accidentally screwed over Ivanka Trump
By Graham Gremore December 17, 2021 at 2:12pm · 14 comments
We think it's safe to say that Ivanka Trump probably isn't too pleased with Lindsey Graham right now.
Calls for the former first daughter's text messages from January 6 to be released are growing louder after the antigay senator let it slip that she was one of the main conduits between Republican lawmakers and ex-president Donald Trump during the deadly insurrection.
Related: More unsettling details emerge about that civilian tear-gassing Ivanka Trump plotted
The Independent reports:
Texts handed over to the House panel investigating the Capitol riot by former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before he ceased his cooperation with the committee have revealed that Fox News hosts and Mr Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr texted Mr Meadows on January 6 urging him to get Mr Trump to call off his supporters and tell them to go home.
Mr Graham has said that he didn't text with Mr Meadows on January 6, but told CNN's Manu Raju that he spoke with Ivanka Trump and asked her to send a message to her father to "tell his people to leave".
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he didn't text with Meadows on Jan. 6 —- but told me he spoke with Ivanka Trump to deliver a message to her dad. He said he wanted then-President Trump to "tell his people to leave."
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 14, 2021
Graham's remarks to Raju come just a few weeks after The Washington Post reported that he repeatedly called Ivanka during the siege with suggestions for what her dad might say to get the insurrectionists to stop trashing the building, shitting in the halls, and hunting for Mike Pence.
"You need to get these people out of here," he reportedly told her. "This thing is going south. This is not good. You're going to have to tell these people to stand down. Stand down."
Related: Lindsey Graham "screamed" during insurrection, accused officer of not doing "enough" to protect him
On Monday, Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, tweeted, "I want to see what Jared and Ivanka were texting to Meadows."
I want to see what Jared and Ivanka were texting to Meadows.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) December 14, 2021
So far, the tweet has received over 30,000 likes, nearly 4,000 retweets, and hundreds of comments supporting an investigation into Ivanka's text records.
Based on what they've let slip out now … what's next to come is going to be lit.

well allegedly she threw a dinner party the next evening and the insurrection was never discussed. Denial is her life coping mechanism.
— Beachy1 🌊☀ (@cayman2016) December 14, 2021
Not much is known about Ivanka's actions that day, other than she started watching the insurrection unfold on the TV in her office in the West Wing before moving over to the president's dining room, where she continued watching it on TV with her dad as they frantically tried to come up with a response.
Related: Ivanka hosted a fancy dinner party the night after January 6 because of course she did
At 3:15 that afternoon, she tweeted: "American Patriots – any security breach or disrespect to our law enforcement is unacceptable. The violence must stop immediately. Please be peaceful."
She deleted the tweet within minutes, however, after being slammed for addressing the insurrectionists as "patriots." The next day, she and Jared hosted a lavish multi-course dinner party at their home with several Trump VIPs where absolutely no mention of the previous day's deadly violence was mentioned.

I couldn't agree more. If they made it pay-per-view they could erase the national debt.
December 18, 2021 at 12:12pm
I can't help but believe this is part of the "smoke & mirrors" in the investigation. While it's very important to find out what happened, is it really that necessary to determine how many people Trump ignored while they were calling for a stand down or is somebody just buying time dwelling on the same "crime"? I believe it's already been duly proven that Trump ignored his personal advisor.( even though I question how liable he can actually be legally held for the 1/06 uprising or for not doing more to calm the crowd), but that's a whole different argument. I think it's time to move on to the next alleged wrong doing and get this thing closer to the end. Trump was obviously ignoring clearer heads that day. Does it matter if he ignored one advisor or one hundred? Let's look at Trump's phone records instead and search for evidence that he had direct contact with any of the actual insurrectionist. So far, I haven't seen any proof that he broke any laws in regards to 1/06. He certainly didn't act in the countries best interest with his statements leading up to that day, but I still wonder if he ever actually crossed the line that would make him legally responsible. Morally he's guilty as He11, legally, IDK.

Graham would turn in his own grandmother for a few pieces of silver or if you threatened to slap him on the wrist with a ruler. He's an evil coward. The committee should subpoena Ivanka's texts.
I thought she was letting Kim Guilfoyle massage her thighs before she started dancing to "Gloria"?

No wonder she's maintaining a low profile.

Nggelaøerne, som også kaldes Floridaøerne, er en lille øgruppe i den centrale del af Salomonøerne, der er et uafhængigt land i den sydvestlige del af Stillehavet.

Øgruppen består af hovedøen, Nggela Sule, samt en række mindre øer heriblandt Tulagi, Gavutu og Tanambogo. Navnet Floridaøerne bruges også somme tider i omtale af Nggela Sule.

Historie
Nggelaøerne ligger lige nord for den mere berømte ø Guadalcanal, hvor slaget om Guadalcanal blev udkæmpet under 2. verdenskrig. Nggela Sule blev besat af Japan i april 1942 i forbindelse med japanernes forsøg på at etablere en base for marinefly på naboøen Gavutu. Den 7. august samme år gik tropper fra det amerikanske marinekorps' 2. marineregiment i lang for at støtte landgangen på naboøen Tulagi. Floridaøerne blev aldrig så berømte som Guadalcanal, selv om den fungerede som en lille sekundær operationsbase for amerikanernes og australiernes krigsindsats i Stillehavet i resten af krigen. Efter den amerikanske befrielse af øen fra japanerne blev den hjemsted for en amerikansk base for flyvebåde. Øen leverede efterfølgende vand til den amerikanske flåde, som hentede vandet fra en underjordisk kilde på øen.

Leopold Auer ou Leopold von Auer est un violoniste, pédagogue, chef d'orchestre et compositeur hongrois né le  à Veszprém (Hongrie) et mort à Loschwitz près de Dresde le .

Biographie
Il étudie d'abord avec Ridley Kohné à Budapest, puis avec Jakob Dont à Vienne et enfin avec Joseph Joachim à Hanovre. De 1868 à 1917, il enseigne au Conservatoire de Saint-Pétersbourg ou il fut anobli en 1895 et fut admis en 1903 à siéger au Conseil de l'Empire. Après la Révolution d'Octobre, il quitte la Russie pour les États-Unis où il devient professeur au Curtis Institute of Music à Philadelphie et au Institute of Musical Art à New York. Il adopte d'ailleurs la nationalité américaine en 1926.

Auer est considéré comme l'un des plus grands pédagogues du violon. Beaucoup de ses élèves sont devenus célèbres : Efrem Zimbalist, Nathan Milstein, Mischa Elman, Maja Bang et Jascha Heifetz.

De nombreux compositeurs (Glazounov, Taneïev, Arenski) lui ont dédié leurs œuvres, mais bien que dédicataire du concerto pour violon de Tchaïkovski, il refusa dans un premier temps de le jouer, le considérant comme injouable. Il se décidera pourtant à le mettre à son répertoire plus tard (en 1893), mais avec des modifications dans certains passages. Les interprétations de ce concerto par ses élèves (excepté Nathan Milstein) seront basées sur sa version.

Il meurt en 1930 à Loschwitz et est enterré au cimetière Ferncliff à Hartsdale (New York).

Le compositeur hongrois  György Ligeti 1923-2006 est son petit neveu ; la vibraphoniste de jazz Vera Auer est sa nièce et l'acteur Mischa Auer (né Mischa Ounskowski) son petit-fils.

Compositions
Auer a écrit un petit nombre d'œuvres pour son instrument parmi lesquelles la Rhapsodie hongroise pour violon et piano. Ses compositions incluent également des cadences pour les concertos pour violon d'autres compositeurs, pour ceux de Beethoven et de Brahms notamment. Outre ses compositions, Auer a écrit également deux livres : Violin Playing as I Teach It (1920) et My Long Life in Music (1923).

This struck a chord with me, because I've just bought a pair of Polarised sunglasses to eliminate reflected glare from the inside of my car windscreen – which can be a major problem if the sun's in front of me and shining directly onto the top of the dashboard.
So, some basic physics. When light is reflected off a surface, most of the light that's vibrating parallel to the surface is reflected, while most of the light that's vibrating at other angles is absorbed or diffused. This means the reflected light is mostly vibrating in one direction – this is what "polarised" light means. Reflections from the inside of a car windscreen will be horizontally polarised.
Polarised glasses are designed to eliminate horizontally polarised light because it's horizontally polarised light which reflects from surfaces such as roads, puddles and lakes, tables and so on. That's why I bought my new glasses – to eliminate the reflection from the inside of the windscreen when driving towards the sun.
Head-up displays work by projecting the display upwards so that it reflects off the inside of the windscreen – as shown above.
If you wear Polarised glasses, these will cut out any light reflected from the inside of the windscreen, however it got there, so you will not be able to see a head-up display. Reactolite glasses aren't polarised, they just darken the lenses, so the display will still be visible.

Even when it seems life is just a morass of sameness, remembering the continuity of life, and that I am an outcome of that, that I could easily not have been, makes the journey brighter.

Hi, Thank you for your question. I always start by meditating. Once I have meditated in a way that allows me to feel connected I then ask for what is required of me. What is the message I need to share. Then I wait to hear/feel/see what words come through for me. Sometimes it is slow, sometimes fast, but something always comes through.
Often as I'm writing, especially if it slow in coming I have to let go of the need for it to make sense, but once I am done and read it, it usually makes complete sense.
It really depends on what you are trying to write. I understand that novels can be challenging because the characters take over(I have experienced this myself). I am currently working on a book about Living in Alignment with the Universe and sometimes that is more about making time.
I hope I've given some guidance. If you would like more info, please feel free to send me an email. Maybe I need to create a meditation for writing!?!

the happiness that as a husband I could enjoy, and I had seen my eldest daughter Elizabeth married to one of the best and most amiable of men [Lord Edward Bentinck]."
Cumberland, though he had gone compul-sorily into retirement, did not by any means become a recluse. " Fortunate as I accounted myself in my location at Tunbridge Wells, and gratified by the kindness and good will of the people," he wrote, " I was not contented to reside in idleness amongst them, but in everything that concerned their interests, to the best of my power took an active part, and I flatter myself that some opportunities occurred when my zeal was not without effect." He had been a captain of infantry in 1747, being in 1806, when he wrote his autobiography, " perhaps at this time the most aged field officer of volunteers in the kingdom"; and when he settled at " The Wells," which was the head-quarters of one troop of cavalry and four of volunteer infantry, he took up a command during the war, and enrolled a company. What he most prided himself upon, however, was securing the ministry of the Chapel of Ease for that excellent clergyman, the Rev. Martin Benson.

Marist Asia school for Burmese migrants reopens
A Marist secondary school programme in Ranong Thailand with close links to New Zealand has re-opened.
The school was one of 10 Burmese migrant learning centres closed as a result of the 24 August arrest and deportation of 32 Burmese teachers by Thai officials.
News of their reopening on a part-time basis was confirmed on Monday, by Fr Frank Bird, the Director of the Marist Asia Foundation.
"We have our school programme operating because the Marist Asia Foundation is a registered foundation and we have international volunteers and Thai staff", Frank Bird said.
At present, the school is the only migrant learning centre able to open.
It re-opened after conducting a risk re-assessment and determining that by using only Thai and International volunteers the threat risk was "low".
In making the decision to re-open, the Marist Asia Foundation decided that as well as catering for its secondary school students, the school would welcome students from other secondary schools to come and sit their exams.
"We want to show the students our care and support", said Frank Bird.
"We don't want them to miss out on the opportunity."
While the school has some surplus capacity, it worked in co-operation with a local monastery to provide space for students to sit their exams.
Like others in the region, the Marist Asia Foundation laments its inability to reintroduce its Burmese teachers into their classrooms.
"We feel deeply the pain and anxiety of the Burmese Migrant Community as their children are not able to attend school and their own teachers are not allowed to teach", says Frank Bird.
The Thai Government considers the Burmese learning centres as illegal and their Burmese teachers are also illegal. It is a situation that has been permitted for the past 15-20 years.
While the students are not at school, they are either unsafely wandering the streets, locked up at home while their parents go to work, or follow their parents to work in the unsafe fish and charcoal factories.

Oh my goodness at the great fun. The "two steal" rule worked well but there were many disappointed participants as gifts were retired quickly along the way. Check out the scenes and the laughs during the Dirty Santa gift exchange.
20 Classmates and family and friends joined us for the 2013 version of Christmas at Moody Manor. Here are a few shots after all the gifts were opened. Thanks to so many for the wonderful kindnesses via hostess gifts. Sadie really enjoyed hers, Jean!

From Partition to Brexit
The Irish Government and Northern Ireland
Donnacha Ó Beacháin
From Partition to Brexit is the first book to chart the political and ideological evolution of Irish government policy towards Northern Ireland from the partition of the country in 1921 to the present day. Based on extensive original research, this groundbreaking and timely study challenges the idea that Irish governments have pursued a consistent set of objectives and policies towards Northern Ireland to reveal a dynamic story of changing priorities. The book demonstrates how in its relations with the British Government, Dublin has been transformed from spurned supplicant to vital partner in determining Northern Ireland's future, a partnership jeopardised by Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Informed, robust and innovative, From Partition to Brexit is essential reading for anyone interested in Irish or British history and politics, and will appeal to students of diplomacy, international relations and conflict studies.

Malala Yousafzai is most famous for her fight for the right of girls all over the world to get an education. When she was a girl in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, she watched the Taliban slowly creep into her town. She wrote secretly for a BBC blog about life under Taliban rule. Around her girl's schools were being forced to closed or bombed. She spoke up for the right for girls to receive an education. The Taliban shot her on her way home from school. But that did not stop her. After recovering in a hospital in the U.K., she still fights for the rights of girls around the world to get an education. She even started attending university herself this year. She also won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work, the youngest recipient of the award. I was very fortunate to see her speak at DePauw University last year.
I recommend reading her book, I Am Malala. There is also a documentary called He Named me Malala which covers the same material but with wonderful animations and clips of Malala's family and even her meeting the Queen of England.

'Kidnappers' send new message to Norwegian millionaire Tom Hagen | World News
The lawyer of one of Norway's richest men, whose missing wife is believed to have been abducted, has received a new message from people who claim to be "in control" of her.
Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen has been missing since 31 October but details of the case only emerged earlier this month.
She is the wife of property investor Tom Hagen and kidnappers are reported to be demanding €9m (£7.8m).
Mr Hagen's lawyer Svein Holden said they received another message from the group claiming to be in control of her but have no indication about whether she is alive or not.
The house (C) of Norwegian real estate investor Tom Hagen and his wife Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen
Mr Holden said: "The digital platform on which the message arrived is not suited for it to be answered and that is the reason for me standing here today and me saying what I am saying.
"The family is now strengthened in their hope that Anne-Elisabeth is alive and wants to do what we can to make her come home safely.
"We want to establish better contact with those who have Anne-Elisabeth."
The message was received on 16 January.
Police inspector Tommy Broske discusses Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen's disappearance
A note was found at the couple's home in Oslo which described what would happen to the 68-year-old if the ransom was not paid.
But police have urged the family not to pay the money, which was demanded in cryptocurrency.
Officers have not released many details about the case, but the appeal on 9 January brought in hundreds of tips.
Some said they saw men with long lens cameras on the edge of the lake next to the Hagen house. In recent days, divers have searched the waters for possible clues.
Mr Hagen is number 172 on a list of Norway's wealthiest men and is estimated to be worth 1,7bn kroner (£152m).

The class selection will have a larger impact on your experience in MT than race. Your role in the group, the ease or difficulty of solo playing, etc. are all determined by the choice of your two characters. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to solidify this first. You can find our section on classes here.
MP gains are determined primarily by your Wisdom (WIS) and Intelligence (INT). Spell casters need to keep an eye on this stat, though to truly be useful, a balance should be struck between high mana and sufficient HP. Mobs can change targets temporarily and if you are, for example, a Mage with low HP, you could die if you are targeted.
Charmy classes (Necro & Druid) need high Charisma (CHA) in order to summon more charmies, assuming this is their primary tactic. The unfortunate reality is the trade off is usually in HP and they end up being poor tanks. Depending on your character strategy, a balance could be struck with the right class combo.
Dexterity (DEX) and Armor Class (AC) play a huge role in your ability to dodge attacks. Certain races, such as feline, are ideal for classes like Amazon and Monk that do a great deal more dodging than they do absorbing damage.
Minotaurs can wield a 2-Handed weapon in 1 hand. The advantage is that 2-handed weapons typically have a higher damage output to compensate for the fact that most characters can only wield one. This is a factor to be considered against their fewer eq slots.
Cleric + High Elf: Clerics tend to be mana-sluts. While this needs balancing to account for their likely acquisition of aggro mid-battle, the high Wis/Int combo of a high elf makes it a likely choice.
Druid + Drow Elf: This choice is made purely for the high CHA of the Drow. The high CHA means the Druid gets to summon the maximum number of charmies.
Necro + Drow Elf: Again, this is for the charmy factor. One of the draw backs of Drow is the low HP gain.
Psionist + Human: This is a balance issue. Psionists draw from all stats and Humans fair well across the board.
Paladin + Dwarf: This selection is primarily helpful in acquiring large amounts of HP. The forte of the Paladin is to absorb damage while self-healing. No race sets up better to acquire high HP than a Dwarf.
On our Medieval Times Top Players page you can find a grid that shows a break down of the most common Class/Race combinations. This can give you a decent overview of the choices that "experienced" players (played 50+ levels) have chosen and perhaps had success with.

Q: Laravel Controller loading another controllers method :: Strange Logic Error I am using Laravel 7.x, I have a controller which when called in the routes, instead of loading its own called method, will rather load the method of a different controller, I don't know how and why?
I.e. Controller-A executes Controller-B methods which was not called.
So, I am calling the route below from my web.php directory.
Route::get('/testx', 'ControllerA@show_table');

but it loads another ControllerB's method instead thereby loading the wrong route. Does laravel cache controllers? Its a strange logic error to me.

A: Thank you guys for your response. I finally solved the problem.
I had earlier saved a controller with the same class as the current controller while running a test, and forgot to remove it from the controller directory, this was the cause of error "Duplicate Class" in the same namespace. I simply removed the duplicate class controller and the issue was resolved.
