When That Spectacular Glow Hits the Oregon Coast: Surprise Colors Between Yachats and Florence

(Florence, Oregon) – An early October a few years back, and the beaches and beach towns are warm and bereft of most any breeze. The Oregon coast is unbelievably warm – it feels like a different world. Or at least more like California. However, there's hardly any crowds at this hour: the sun is just now going down and some extraordinary things start to happen. (All photos Oregon Coast Beach Connection)
It's what is known as the "Second Summer" on Oregon's coast – that period from September through mid or even late October when the beaches are actually warmer than during summer. Actual summer hardly ever leaves the lower 70s along the coastline, but Second Summer sees upper 70s a lot, maybe even the 80s. This is already an incredible time out here, and it's about to get more so in that wild region between Yachats and Florence.
The colors that would erupt around here were mind-bending.
On that particular day, social media erupted with similar shots. It wasn't just Oregon Coast Beach Connection that was spotting this. Sure, similar colors took place in Cannon Beach, Seaside, Lincoln City and others. Still, there was something was different about Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint, however.
In fact, lots of things were different.
Just before the sun had gone down completely, Neptune's bridge and its wobbly cobblestone garden of polished, rounded rocks received a hint of the stunning colors to come.
There's a stream that meanders through Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint and its rocky landscape on its way to the sea, until that geography changes to the softer sands. On this day, just after the sun went down, this stream was lit up and fired up into some amazing shades.
Those colors shifted dramatically sometimes, even after the sun had disappeared. One moment, Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint was fired up in a variety of reds, pinks and other similar shades.
The next, this central Oregon coast hidden spot was a landscape of purple – the surreal kind of place rock star Prince might've felt especially at home at.
Part of the new sights here is simply the camera itself: it sees things we don't. So when you've got a tripod and you're using long exposures, something over 20 seconds or a minute or two, it picks up a ton of subtleties we can't see. What looks dark and murky to the human eye after the sun has dropped away is really the best time to shoot. The camera sees and explosion of shades.
Towards the cliffs of Neptune State Scenic Viewpoint, you can see something else remarkable. Besides the ethereal tinting of the scene, you'll notice the tide appears much farther out than usual. Indeed, sand levels got so high here they kept the tide out – giving the beach much more space than normal. Most of the time, the water edges up close to those large, rocky blobs near the cliffs. Now, there's about 100 feet more of the beach than before.
This dynamic was true for much of the Oregon coast during the summer and early fall months: from Cannon Beach down to beyond Gold Beach, the beaches saw significant changes.
Also, fascinating is the proliferation of heavy blobs of white foam. It's interesting to note this wasn't the case throughout all the beach at this time. Only certain sections had these massive displays of sea fluff. (Also see Neptune State State Scenic Viewpoint Wild Waves)
What the area normally looks like
It's a sign of a healthy ocean, however. Sea foam is largely the result of a lot of diatoms and other kinds of phytoplankton. It's not made up of them, per se, but rather it's the ocean's movement that squeezes air and water into their microscopic skeletons, blowing bubbles. The more diatoms and their skeletons, the more foam.

Baseball roundup: Arlington triumphs
Drew Lugbauer's seventh-inning homer leads Arlington over Wallkill.
Baseball roundup: Arlington triumphs Drew Lugbauer's seventh-inning homer leads Arlington over Wallkill. Check out this story on poughkeepsiejournal.com: http://pojonews.co/1kHyPUw

For the second time in less than 24 hours, the Arlington High School baseball team needed a hero in its final at-bat.
Drew Lugbauer played the role on Saturday.
Stepping to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning of a tied game, Lugbauer slammed a long line drive to right field, his smash hitting the mesh on the foul pole for a solo home run that gave the Admirals a 7-6 win against Wallkill in Freedom Plains.
"It was right down the line," head coach Al Hammell said after his team improved to 9-5. "It was a pretty hard-hit ball. He hooked it, and it just stayed fair."
On Friday, varsity call-up Simon Alvarez propelled Arlington to victory late, his sacrifice fly driving in the winning run in a 4-3 triumph over visiting John Jay.
This day, after the Admirals and Panthers traded single runs in the third, the visitors from Ulster County struck for three runs in the fourth.
In the bottom of the sixth, though, Matt Carlin hit a three-run homer to knot the score, 4-4, setting up Lugbauer's dramatic at-bat.
Arlington finished with six hits, one apiece from Dan Schweitzer, Marc Barbieri, Liam O'Leary, Alvarez, Carlin and Lugbauer (two runs). Wallkill had 13 hits.
Both teams played error-free ball.
After this non-league game, Arlington returns to league action on Monday, traveling to Wiccopee to oppose John Jay. From there the Admirals play back-to-back games against league rival Mahopac — traveling to play the Indians on Wednesday before hosting them in Freedom Plains the next day.
John Jay 14, Mahopac 10 — Down 8-2 after three innings, the visitors from Wiccopee scored six runs in both the fourth and sixth stanzas, leading to the victory that raised their record to 5-8.
Right-hander Zach Zottola entered the game in the third inning and picked up the victory, scattering four hits and surrendering three runs — all unearned — while doing "a great job" in relief, head coach John Giametta said.
"He was attacking the strike zone," he said. "He's starting to gain some more confidence in himself, and he's challenging the batters."
John Jay catcher Andrew Moesch drove in four runs while collecting three hits, and teammate Antonio Pragana added two hits and drove in a run on a squeeze bunt.
Each team finished with a dozen base hits, but the hosts made five errors.
Roy C. Ketcham 8, Clarkstown North 0 — Jordan Bishop was 2 for 3 with a three-run homer, and Mark Joao was 2 for 2 with an RBI to lead host Ketcham (11-1).
Winning pitcher Dylan D'Anna allowed one hit and struck out two over five innings. The Indians play Monday at 6 p.m. vs. Lakeland at Dutchess Stadium in Fishkill.
Highland 8, Onteora 3 – Playing in the third annual Travis Nissen Tournament, the Huskies topped the host Indians, scoring all of their runs in the final two innings.
In the top of the sixth, Highland scored five times and added three runs in the seventh to triumph.
For the victors, Mike Doxey (two runs, two RBI) was 1 for 3, as was Brandon Mack (two RBI), who took the mound in relief and earnd the win.
Now 5-6, Highland hosts Marlboro on Monday.
Weaver throws no-hitter– After Poughkeepsie lost the opening game of Friday's doubleheader to visiting Peekskill, 10-8, Pioneers pitcher Mark Weaver held the Red Devils hitless in the nightcap on the way to an 8-0 win.
Weaver struck out 18 batters and walked one over seven innings in a makeup game in which Poughkeepsie was technically the road team.
"He had command of his pitches and he just pounded the strike zone and challenged every hitter," Poughkeepsie head coach Mark Bianco said. "I don't think he threw a curveball or a changeup all night long. When he got the last strikeout, I've never seen our kids so jacked up. Everyone just mauled him on the mound."
Weaver had a double, a single and two RBI for Poughkeepsie (2-11). Lucas Ramos was 2 for 4 with a triple, a single and an RBI. Matt Romer was 2 for 2 with an RBI.
In the first game, Poughkeepsie rallied for three runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the score at 8-8, but the Red Devils plated two runs in the top of the seventh. Romer was 3 for 4 with a double, two singles and four stolen bases. Corey Simmons was 2 for 3 with three RBI. Weaver caught all seven innings of the first game.

Q: How to implement a function that parses a string into a tuple? Trying to create a function that parses a string measurement into a separated tuple measurement, i.e. "3 ft" into (3, "ft").
Code:
def parse_measurement(measure_value: str) -> tuple:
    tuple_value = tuple(measure_value)
    return tuple_value

print(parse_measurement("3 ft"))

Output:
('3', ' ', 'f', 't')

Goal Output:
(3, "ft")

Is there an easier function for this that I'm totally missing? Or do I need to add additional code to remove the quotes, the extra space, and combine 'f' and 't' to make "ft"?

A: Below code would help you
def parse_measurement(measure_value: str) -> tuple:
    tuple_value = tuple(measure_value.split(' '))
    return tuple_value
print(parse_measurement("3 ft"))

Output:
('3', 'ft')

A: using split()
def parse_measurement(measure_value: str) -> tuple:
    # tuple_value = tuple(measure_value)
    return tuple(measure_value.split())
print(parse_measurement("3 ft"))

# ('3', 'ft')

A: If your goal is the tuple (3, "ft") (with the 3 being a numeric value rather than a string, as your question seems to indicate), that will require a two-stage approach.
The first is to use string.split to separate the input string into a collection, and the second will be to modify the collection in such a way that strings representing integers are correctly converted to integers.
That can be done with:
def try_make_num(item):
    try:
        return int(item)
    except:
        return item

def parse_measurement(measure_value: str) -> tuple:
    return tuple([try_make_num(item) for item in measure_value.split()])

print(parse_measurement("3 ft")) # Gives (3, 'ft')

Note that this gives you the second field surrounded by single quotes, because that's the normal output format for strings. If you want a different format, you have to do that explicitly by replacing, for example, your current print with:
def desired_format(two_tuple):
    return f'({two_tuple[0]}, "{two_tuple[1]}")'

print(desired_format(parse_measurement("3 ft")))

But, of course, that gives you a single string. If you still want a tuple but with the string elements surrounded by double quotes, you can use:
def make_num_if_possible(item):
    try:
        return int(item)
    except:
        return f'"{item}"'

and get rid of desired_format(). Printing this tuple implicitly will give you (3, '"ft"') but processing of the individual elements will be correct if you explicitly print them.

A: def parse_measurement(measure_value):
    return tuple(measure_value.split())

A: from typing import Tuple, List

def parse_measurement(measure_value: str, split_value: str=" ") -> Tuple:
    split_list: List[str] = measure_value.split(split_value)
    return tuple(split_list)

A: Just .split And convert and return tuple:
def parse_measurement(measure_value):
  return tuple(measure_value.split())

Hard-coded ' ' split is not required at all.

A: Input String "3 ft" and your Goal is (3,"ft")
In general, you wanted to split string and type conversion of the values.
To solve for your input string :
we can simply split(" ") by spaces and then type convert.
Let's see how we can do this.
string="3 ft"

def convert(s):
    try:
        return int(float(s)) if float(s) == int(float(s) else float(s)
    except:
        return s

res=tuple(map(convert, string.split(" "))

print(res)

You get your desired result.
Output:  (3,"ft")

Now let's go more deep and change input to
string  = "set() b'1' True 3.1 3 (1,(1,(1,3),(1,3),(1,3),3)) [1,[1,4],[1,[1,[1,[1,4],4],4],4],3] {'a':{'a':{'a':{},'b':{'a':{},'b':{'a':{},'b':{'a':{},'b':{}}}}},'b':{}},'b':{'a':{},'b':{}}} ft"

# we have now string contains int, float, tuple of tuples, list of lists, nested dict, string,boolean, bytes and set. Almost Contains all the python literals.

# For that we need to determine the grammar,
# we have Python abstract syntax grammar **ast**.
# We can evaluate list of strings that we split up using ast to determine and get string contains data of type converted to actual type. **Let's see how we can do this**

import ast

def convert(a):
    try:
        return ast.literal_eval(a)
    except:
        return a

# By simply change convert function by ast.literal_eval(str)
# Safely evaluate an expression node or a string containing a Python literal or container display.
# Python literal structures: strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, and None.

# This can be used for safely evaluating strings.

# **Note** set() is only supported in 3.9 and above.

# From above the **output** string is:
('set()', b'1', True, 'true', 3.1, 3, (1, (1, (1, 3), (1, 3), (1, 3), 3)), [1, [1, 4], [1, [1, [1, [1, 4], 4], 4], 4], 3], {'a': {'a': {'a': {}, 'b': {'a': {}, 'b': {'a': {}, 'b': {'a': {}, 'b': {}}}}}, 'b': {}}, 'b': {'a': {}, 'b': {}}}, 'ft')

Amazon Original Series Transparent is already breaking records. In just over a week since its debut, the critically acclaimed dark comedy, created by Jill Soloway (Afternoon Delight, Six Feet Under) and starring Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Judith Light (Dallas), Gaby Hoffmann (Girls), Amy Landecker (Louie) and Jay Duplass (Togetherness), is the no. 1 ranked series on Prime Instant Video since the show's launch. Also proving popular among critics, the new show clocked in a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 98 percent critic rating, and a 91 metascore on Metacritic, making Transparent one of TV's top three highest ranked, currently airing shows. Due to the overwhelming success of the show, and the incredibly positive viewer response, Amazon Studios has greenlit a second season of Transparent, to air in 2015.
Prime members are finding it very hard to step away from all ten episodes of Transparent. Since its debut, Transparent is the most binge-watched TV series on Prime Instant Video with nearly 80 percent of all viewers bingeing on two or more episodes of the series in the same day. This makes Transparent's binge-factor higher than any of the other Prime Instant Video binge leaders in the past.

With the runaway success of the American Horror Story anthology series, CEO, FX Networks and FX Productions John Landgraf announced the new companion series American Crime Story. The new anthology series will focus on some of the biggest true crimes and will begin with one of the most famous cases ever, the trial of O.J. Simpson. The network has given a straight-to-series order to American Crime Story: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson and it will consist of 10 episodes.
The first installment, American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, is based on the book The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson by Jeffrey Toobin. Murphy joins Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson (The Hunger Games, Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and Brad Falchuk (Glee, American Horror Story, co-created with Murphy) as Executive Producers of American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, alongside writers Alexander and Karaszewski. Dante Di Loreto also serves as an Executive Producer, with Murphy set to direct. The first two hours of the miniseries will be written by Golden Globe-winning screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs. Larry Flynt, Ed Wood, Man on the Moon), who are Executive Producers of 'ACS: O.J.'. Production begins early next year in Los Angeles. It is produced by FXP and Fox 21, the companies that co-produce the long-running hit series Sons of Anarchy for the network.
It's been a great run for the series The Game, but the game clock is starting to run down those final seconds. After renewing the comedy several months ago for an eigth season, BET has announced the the long running series will come to an end after season nine.
The Game was cancelled by The CW in 2009 and was immediately picked up by BET. The season four premiere on BET pulled in a record 7.7 million viewers. Both seasons are currently being filmed and will air in early 2015.
"All good things must come to an end and after celebrating four successful seasons of THE GAME on BET, the Network has announced production is underway on the show's final two seasons. In January 2011 the cult following of The Game proved that the show was a fan favorite with 7.7 million viewers for its premiere debut on BET. With seasons eight and nine, we're excited to end on a high note by giving Sabers fans a chance to bid farewell to their favorite players on and off the field."
Days away from its season five premiere, AMC announced today that it has renewed "The Walking Dead," the #1 show on television among adults 18-49 for the last two years and most highly-rated show in cable television history, for a sixth season. The season five premiere is this Sunday, Oct. 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the live season premiere of "Talking Dead" at 10 p.m. ET/PT with host Chris Hardwick and this week's guests Scott M. Gimple, Greg Nicotero and Conan O'Brien.

I just purchased a 1971 C10 longbed that has been completely stripped of all emblems. While I'm awaiting shipment of the truck to me, I would like to restore the emblems to the front fenders and wherever else they should appear. How do I determine what I have?
You may want to ask this question in the General Truck Talk or the Paint & Body forum. You might get more answers there.
The serial number and the options sticker in the glove box will be very helpful. Those trucks have all different sorts of trim levels, mouldings, options. It was the beginning of the "sport" truck.
Cheyenne, longhorn, custom, custom deluxe, custom sport truck, base, c10; there are a lot of models. Make sure to run your VIN to be sure.
If you aren't a purist, do what you want. 😉 I will be!


Applying to an MPP program means assembling a clear, compelling application that reflects what you value, what you've accomplished, and what you aim to do in the future. Here are five tips that can help your application make its mark.
There's only one you, so don't pretend to be someone you're not! Admissions committees are looking for diversity across cultures, work experience, geography, and personal background; telling someone else's story won't help you.
2. Spend Time on Self-Reflection.
Start the application process early so you have enough time for self-reflection and introspection.
• What REALLY motivates you?
• What are your career aspirations – what do you want to do long-term?
• What is your short-term post-MPP goal?
• What skills, knowledge, and relationships do you need to develop to get you to that short-term goal?
• How has your experience prepared you for an MPP?
Synthesize your reflections into themes about yourself. Are you an inspirational leader? Policy wonk? Community organizer? Activist?
Learn the key themes of the various MPP programs you're considering. (Every school has its own themes and buzzwords.) Find ways to connect your themes with theirs.
As you investigate MPP programs, you should also consider the kinds of schools that will fit you best. There are lots of ways to learn what you need to learn here: attending webinars, visiting classes, considering each school's preferred mix of teaching methods, reviewing options for concentrating in particularly policy areas, and getting a grasp on the composition of the student body (and the school's alumni network).
4. Take a Structured Approach to Writing.
When it's time to start working on your MPP essays, first read the fine print. In addition to the prompts, supplementary guidelines provide hints about what each MPP program is looking for.
Start with outlines – these are indispensable. Outlines establish a framework for answering the questions and ensure that you are communicating what you intend to communicate.
Ask for independent reviews and feedback. Let each set of essays 'rest' for a few days so you can revisit them with fresh eyes.
Resist the temptation to re-use content. Even if two schools have the same essay prompt, you can't simply cut and paste from one to the other; you need to incorporate school-specific themes.
Once you've chosen your two recommenders, let them know why you want an MPP, and share the overall picture you're painting. (In particular, share your key themes so your recommenders can add to the portrait.) Remind them of your major accomplishments, and – kindly and subtly – ask them to be as specific as possible. More showing and less telling are the keys here. It's much better to let an example demonstrate that you are a creative problem-solver than for your recommender to simply say so.
After you have given your recommenders the guidance they need, step back and give them space. Trust the process!
Admissions committees look at MPP applications holistically, so it is important that all elements of your application are aligned – resume, essays, short answers and recommendations.

and move to the download section. Over there, you would want to download the Cinnamon edition.
Next, you need to create a Live USB stick. You do have the option of creating a Live CD, but if you have a netbook, for example, this may be a problem, since they don't have DVD ROMs.
and you can download a version according to your operating system.
Once downloaded, simply run the application and we can get started with making the Live USB Stick. Before getting started, make sure you have connected the USB to the system. We are using a 4 gigabyte USB here and we have formatted it before using the application.
Before we start with how to install Linux Mint, you would have to create a Live USB stick.
With the software opens up, you would have to choose Linux Mint from the distribution list.
Next, you can select the 15_Live or the 15_live_x64 option, if you have a 64 bit system that is. The template for 15 works for the newer version as well. If you're not sure whether you have a 64-bit system or not, choose the 15_Live option, which is the 32 bit version.
Next, select the Disk Image option and make sure you have the ISO option selected from the drop down menu. With that done, click on the browser button and select the Linux Mint ISO file that you just downloaded previously.
With that done, make sure the USB Drive option is selected for the type. Select your USB drive. Make sure that you select the correct drive here. You can double check by opening up My computer.
With that done, click on OK and it will start creating a bootable Live USB. Once done, you can reboot the system.
While rebooting, we will enter into the bios and move to the booting options. Make sure that the USB or Removable Disks are at the top of the boot priority. This will allow us to boot from the USB Device.
With that done, we will save the changes and exit the bios.
Now Linux Mint will open up in Live mode. You can get an overview of what the operating system looks like before actually installing it on your system.
To start with the installation process, simply click on the Install Linux Mint icon on the desktop here.
First of all, you would be required to select the language.
Next up a notification will be displayed in front of you telling you the required space and the fact that you should be connected to the internet during the installation process. This is very important, since the installer will be download different components like fonts, language packs etc. before installing them.
Next, you would be given two options. Either erase the entire disk and install the operating system or trying something else, like resizing a partition etc.
For this tutorial, we will select the first option here. Make sure you have a backup before pursuing with this option.
Next, you would be required to select the time zone. You can simply point to the country in the map and it will automatically select the time zone from there.
Moving on, you would also be required to choose a keyboard layout. Over here, we have kept the default options as it is.
Last of all, you would be required to enter the details such as your name, your computer's name, your username and password. If you want, you can even choose to encrypt your home folder by choosing this option.
After that, the installation process will start automatically.
Once done, a notification window will appear telling you that the installation was successful. You can either continue testing the operating system or restart the computer.
Let's restart the computer and remove the USB stick.
Once the system reboots, you can see here that linux mint has been successfully installed with the user account already created. You would have to enter the user account credentials to login Linux Mint.
That means the Linux Mint operating system has been successfully installed.
And that's it for how to install Linux Mint.

Could sleep be the key to learning?
New research suggests that the age-old question of whether our waking lives and dreams are connected can now be answered.
A team at Swansea University, led by Professor Mark Balgrove, found that two key factors influenced quality of learning: sleep, and motivation. After teaching stories to volunteers who had to remember them after a period of 2 hours of either sleep or wake, the researchers found volunteers who slept remembered more of the stories than those who were awake.
The mechanism through which sleep improves our memory is subject to a lot of research world-wide but Professor Blagrove's group has recently taken another leap forward by also studying the emotional aspect of learning. Professor Blagrave explains how they did the first ever test of somebody's intrinsic value of what they have learnt.
"We taught Welsh words to English newcomers to Swansea and we also asked them how much they value or don't value the language and what we found was that there was a relationship between the more valued the language the bigger was the improvement across the sleep and your amount of value didn't affect how well you learnt it was the change across sleep [that was affected]. That shows that your level of motivation for things can affect what your sleep does to your memories," he said.
The observation that emotions have an impact on how our memories are stabilised and processed in our sleep ties in well with the group's previous research, and provides important information to help scientists weigh up current theories about why we dream at all.
One controversial theory claims that, rather than dreaming helping us to learn, it's in fact the mechanism of processing events and forming memories that causes us to dream in the first place. There is evidence against this theory, that our memory may improve even in dream-less sleep phases. On the other hand, the 'dream-lag effect', or when we dream about a waking event 5-7 days after it took place, may provide evidence that dreams reflect what our brain is doing.
Scientists have also found that we rarely re-play full events in our dreams, which led to a theory claiming that dreaming is a cognitive activity we develop over time, and our dreams are characterised by our ability to understand metaphors. To support this, Professor Blagrave uses the metaphor of seeing love as a journey, as in 'we have come to a bumpy patch' or 'we're going on separate ways'. In our dreams, instead of dreaming about the sentence of 'a bumpy patch' we might dream of being in a car, shaking
"You are having a metaphorical dream that takes quite literally your waking life as the metaphor but in your dream you are actually having the concrete experience" he adds.

UK Creative Ideas Limited (UKCI) signed an agreement with ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, in late March, to launch and be the exclusive operator of the new .ART top-level domain (TLD). Launching in late fall 2016, .ART is new, undeveloped Internet real estate dedicated to serving the arts and culture communities by providing the infrastructure to enhance and preserve the art industry's online presence. With more name choice, shorter names, exact match for searches, and immediate identification with the arts, the global art world will have a new opportunity to meaningfully connect to their audiences in the digital realm.
"Our goals are to support existing museums, galleries, artists, auction houses and others in protecting and enhancing their brands, to inspire new organizations to build on .ART real estate, and to make domain names available to younger players to the art scene whose names are no longer available in other TLDs and want to immediately be identified with the art world," states John Matson, CEO of UKCI.
The process of securing .ART began in 2012 when UKCI submitted an application to operate .ART to ICANN, the global nonprofit responsible for regulating and overseeing the Internet's domain name policy. In 2014, ICANN expanded the number of generic top-level domains including major cities such as .nyc and .london, industry-specific domains such as .luxury and .guru; as well as brands like .axa, .bmw, and .google. Now with this new contract in place, the launch of the .ART domain will take place in late 2016.

EghtesadOnline: Governor of the Central Bank of Iran says besides the importance for the national currency to regain more of its value, the CBI remains focused also on the stability of the rial.
"For the CBI it is important that along with strengthening the rial, stability of the market and preventing volatility is also crucial. However, this does not mean that we prevent declines in exchange rates or let them jump," Abdolnaser Hemmati wrote on Instagram.
Hemmati who was participating in rallies in Tehran to mark the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution on Monday, said he had faced some marchers keen to know whether or not the CBI is against lower forex rates. He vehemently denied any such intention by the regulator.
Hemmati said in his opinion the existing exchange rate for the US dollar is not real and the CBI has plans to "moderate" the rate. "We will focus our efforts to strengthen the national currency," Financial Tribune quoted him as saying.
The CBI was able to strengthen the rial after November 4 when the US re-sanctioned Iran sending the rial to unprecedented lows in the New Year. On Sunday the US dollar fetched 117,100 rials, slightly down from the past trading day. Markets were closed on Monday due to a public holiday.

Escape From Death Row: The Briley Brothers
Mecklenburg Correctional Center, a twenty-million dollar institution built in 1977, was once touted as an escape-proof prison. But double fencing topped with miles of looping razor wire, heightened security measures, highly trained staff, and all the electronic bells and whistles, didn't stop two of the most dangerous killers in America, James and Linwood Briley, from finding a way to beat the system.
How'd they do it? Did they use James Bond-like electronic gadgets to override the security systems? Did they have a cache of high-tech weapons smuggled inside through a network of hidden tunnels? Or, did they have a team of conspirators posing as high-ranking prison officials? Well, believe it or not, all it took for six condemned killers to break free of their death row cell block was a little bit of planning, a few officer's uniforms, a portable TV, and a fire extinguisher.
The Briley Brothers, along with four other death row inmates, Lem Tuggle, Earl Clanton, Derick Peterson, and Willie Lloyd Turner, began their plan by watching the habits of the guards who worked in the death row section of the prison. A seventh prisoner, Dennis Stockton, was to have joined the escapees, but backed out at the last minute fearing a bloodbath during the jailbreak. However, Stockton helped plan the escape.
During the planning stage, the prisoners quickly learned what size clothing each officer wore, and they managed to learn the secret codes used by officers that locked and unlocked security doors.
After months of studying the guard's movements, the prisoners decided to make their move. On the night of May, 31, 1984, the inmates overpowered a few guards, took their uniforms, and then set their bizarre plan in motion. They each put on a guard's uniform and then used the door codes to begin a journey that started from deep inside the prison and ended with the freedom that awaited them outside the gate .
They took a stretcher, placed a portable TV on it, and then covered it with a blanket. Pretending to be corrections officers, they called the officer working the main gate and said they'd found a bomb. They told the gate officer that the situation was dire and they needed to exit the prison immediately to dispose of the device.
The Brileys and their partners in crime knew the prison had never dealt with a bomb before and figured there was no set procedure for dealing with one. Their assumptions were correct.
The six inmates made their way to the front gate, carrying the faux bomb. One of the prisoners occasionally sprayed the "bomb" with the fire extinguisher, hoping to make the situation seem more realistic. The men placed the device into a prison van and climbed inside. The officer working the controls opened the gate and allowed six death row inmates to drive off into the dark Virginia night. It would be a little over an hour before prison officials realized they'd been hoodwinked.
I remember receiving the call about the Brileys' escape. It was an odd feeling to learn that some of Virginia's most notorious murderers were on the run. I also remember wondering how they managed to pull off such a daring move. My first thought was that they'd most certainly killed several people in order to successfully reach the outside. It's mind-boggling, to those of us in the business, when we hear of any prison escape. But an escape from a death row? Impossible, or so I thought. To understand why I say impossible, you must know a little about a maximum security facility.
Large prisons, such as Mecklenburg Correctional Center, are like small fortresses that contain several smaller fortresses inside the sprawling compounds To reach either of these smaller sections of the prison, you must first pass through several locked gates, doors, checkpoints, housing units, medical facilities, security stations, electronically controlled doors and gates, and you'll most certainly pass dozens of employees before reaching the exit gate.
The exit is not a simple gate like you'd find in a nstandard chain-link fence. A prison exit is actually two separate gates with a large space between the two called a sally port. The person exiting the prison must approach the gate and press a call button. A guard in a tower is responsible for the electronic gate controls (the purpose of the tower is so that no one can get to the officer and force him to open the gates). Still, there are guards on the ground who visually check to see who is coming and going.
When the ground and tower officers are certain the person at the gate is someone who's allowed to leave (they should confirm by ID card and facial recognition), the tower officer opens the first gate. The person exiting the prison steps, or drives (there are separate, smaller sally ports for pedestrians), inside the sally port and waits for the gate to lock behind him. Then the officer opens the second gate, which is the final barrier to the outside. There are numerous checks and balances in place to prevent escapes. On the night of the Briley escape, every single check and balance failed. The cause—human error.
The events of May 31, 1984, are best described by Richmond Times Dispatch reporter Bill McKelway. Mr. McKelway writes:

May 31, 1984, was a Thursday, a beautiful spring day.

Nearly a dozen of the 24 death-row inmates knew of an escape plan. All but six backed out. The plan depended on a domino effect of good fortune.
Guards didn't notice that an unusual number of death-row inmates suddenly appeared clean-shaven with their hair neatly kept that day. If they had, perhaps the change would have signaled to them that it was "E-Day" — escape day. How could the rough-looking inmates pass for guards if they looked like slobs?
At 6 p.m. in the recreation yard, inmate Lem D. Tuggle Jr. walked over to Stockton with a question.
"We're gonna leave tonight and I need to know how to get away from here. Can you tell me which roads run into North Carolina and where they are?"
The words were recorded by Stockton in his diary.
Stockton, a moonshine-running country boy, had backed out of the escape; Tuggle figured he would have to drive the getaway vehicle himself.
"I wish you were going," Tuggle is said to have told Stockton, the only other white man among the group of likely escapees. "I'll stick out like a bad penny."
About 8 p.m., the bulk of the prisoners left the yard and waited in a bunch to enter death row's C pod.
Lagging behind, inmate Earl Clanton Jr. darted into the bathroom adjoining the control booth. The door was unlocked, and no one saw him.
The others quickly dispersed into the pod; guards failed to count them or notice that Clanton was missing.
A nurse arrived to administer medicines, only to find a locked bathroom, where she would usually draw water for the pills. James Briley concocted an explanation off the top of his head, according to Stockton. Earlier in the day, someone had said the bathroom was out of order, Briley told the guards. They believed him, and the nurse went elsewhere.
About 9 p.m., James Briley asked the guard in the control booth for a book from the adjoining day room.
The guard opened the door to the booth, Briley yelled to Clanton, and Clanton burst from the bathroom into the booth, subdued the guard and used the control panel to open all the cells.
Within three minutes, the inmates took control of the pod. Unarmed guards were stripped of their clothes, their mouths were taped shut, their hands tied behind their backs.
Uniforms were piled on the floor, and the inmates searched through them for pants and shirts that fit.
Guards arrived one after another, wondering why there seemed to be delays or that they hadn't heard back from co-workers. Each was seized by uniform-wearing prisoners. The hostages were kept in cells. Some inmates protected guards and nurses from attack.
When a white-shirted lieutenant was captured, he complied with orders that he summon a van.
"We have a situation here," he barked, a knife at his throat.
Informed that the inmates had a bomb, a guard brought up a van, making sure to use an older vehicle so an explosion wouldn't damage a new vehicle.
"So you had this man willing to spare a new van but not seeing anything wrong with six men he thought were officers possibly getting blown up," said Lettner, author of the state police report.
The inmates found a closetful of riot gear. They donned helmets and armed themselves with shields. Gas masks dangled around their necks.
They were in absolute control of C pod, even as walled-off inmates and guards in the rest of the building remained oblivious to what was transpiring.
The escape route from Building 1 was still blocked by a guard in the main control room at the front door. She was lured away with a fake report that she had an outside call.
The lieutenant, still threatened, told her over the phone that a replacement would be showing up so she could leave her post to handle the call.
The guard opened the door to the entryway control booth as she saw her replacement approaching, a man she didn't recognize.
It was inmate Derick L. Peterson. He subdued the guard and called upstairs to James Briley, who yelled out to the other inmates: "He's in!"
Peterson could hear cheers over the phone.
The van arrived at the sally port inside the prison's main vehicular entrance. The sally port is a double-doored, cagelike structure designed to isolate vehicles within the two gates so that a vehicle's contents can be checked and the identity of any personnel entering or leaving the prison can be confirmed.
A vehicle enters through one of the gates; the gate closes; the vehicle is then confined and checked. The second gate opens and the vehicle leaves.
What came next was one of the most bizarre sights to ever emerge inside the walls of a prison.
Six death-row inmates, each one a heartless killer dressed in riot gear, burst through the door of Building 1 with a wheeled stretcher. They yelled they had a bomb; two of the men were hosing it off with a fire extinguisher, supposedly to cool the explosive.
The bomb, under a blanket, was the television set from death row.
The inmates, their identities obscured in the darkness and beneath helmets, hustled toward the van across the prison yard. They loaded the bomb into the van and told a guard to open both gate doors at once.
She briefly objected, saying it was a blatant violation of policy.
But she relented, opened both gates, and the van passed into the pitch black countryside.
The two Briley brothers, Clanton, Peterson, Tuggle and Richmonder Willie Leroy Jones were free.
There had been no bloodshed, no gunfire. A prison van loaded with a TV set and six murderers rolled toward North Carolina. They had $758 in cash taken from guards, plenty of clothes and hundreds of marijuana cigarettes.
It was 10:47 p.m.
Harold Catron, the prison security chief, still remembers the late-night phone call that awakened him.
"They told me death-row inmates had escaped," Catron recalled.
He responded with an expletive.
Catron's world suddenly turned upside down.
"My God, I'm going to lose my job," he thought.
Then his mind tried to absorb the mayhem that might follow.
"I thought of the murders that would happen, the rapes that could follow, as they tried to get away."
Snook, the lawyer, turned to his wife in bed. The radio was blaring news of the escape.
"I tried to tell them," he said. "What happened?"
The news spread slowly.
Investigations of the escape revealed that precious chunks of time elapsed before area law-enforcement agencies, as well as the state police, were notified of what happened.
Even the on-site prison command didn't learn until 11:15 p.m., Lettner said.
State police were told at 11:31 p.m. — not by the prison but by the Mecklenburg County sheriff's office.
In the nearby town of South Hill, the acting police chief said descriptions of the escapees didn't reach him until Friday afternoon, 16 hours after the breakout. Initial reports from the prison said there were five escapees, not six. Prison officials did not offer a formal explanation.
At the Executive Mansion, Gov. Charles S. Robb had just dozed off to sleep when the phone rang.
"It was 1:30 or 2 a.m. in the morning and I can remember being pretty upset that all this time had apparently gone by before the word went up the chain of command or whatever and got to me," Robb said last week.
"I particularly remember feeling concern for the inmates who had helped keep harm from coming to the guards."
As the enormity of the escape began to sink in, memories awakened about the Brileys' victims, the viciousness of the crimes and the random nature of what had befallen the Richmond area in 1979.
Suddenly, Richmond seemed a city about to come under siege by some terrible, too-familiar force: the Briley brothers.
"I think what concerned me the most was that I had seen firsthand what they were capable of doing. I knew their determination to seek revenge. You never forget the smell of death and the smell of blood from what they did," former Richmond detective Woody, now city sheriff, said this month.
So Woody made sure he was armed at all times. He drove different routes to and from work and around town, and he moved his family to a safe location.
Judges, witnesses, prosecutors and victims' relatives were given protection. Even the family of Meekins, whose testimony sent the brothers to prison, was warned to take precautions.
Gallows humor surfaced as well. A set of playing cards with cartoonlike images of the escape and capture would later appear in Richmond.
Neighbors of Warren Von Schuch, who had helped prosecute the Brileys and is now Chesterfield County special prosecutor, fashioned a posterboard-sized sign for the Brileys, pointing them to Von Schuch's house across the street.
"Actually, I'd moved out of the neighborhood by then," said Von Schuch, who had started packing heat.
Two of the escapees, Peterson and Clanton, were captured that Friday morning just across the North Carolina border, sipping wine from a bottle inside a coin laundry. Their prison-issue shoes gave them away.
The arrests and discovery of the escape van in the area fueled the notion that the Brileys and others remained near Warrenton, N.C. More than 200 law-enforcement agents in Virginia and North Carolina, along with scores of media representatives, converged on the community, now transformed from a sleepy town to a place where residents waved guns instead of hello.
Warrenton was sealed off by police.
Some residents patrolled their property with weapons at the ready.
"I'm going to blow the man's head off and then ask questions," Frank Talley, a shotgun on his lap, told a reporter.
Alleged sightings popped up across Virginia and North Carolina, from Portsmouth in the east to Rowan County, N.C., 120 miles to the west.
Missing underwear on a clothesline near Warrenton sparked fears of a Briley in the area, attracting dozens of officers.
Key investigators interviewed recently, however, revealed that Virginia State Police had reliable information that the four remaining escapees — the Brileys, Tuggle and Jones — had traveled north and passed Richmond before dawn Friday, June 1.
The startling information was kept highly classified. V. Stuart Cook, then head of Richmond's major-crimes unit, doesn't recall being told.
But the information focused a key, clandestine element of the investigation northward even as swarms of police and the media chased reports of sightings to the south for more than two weeks.
A blue pickup truck stolen near Warrenton overnight May 31 was the key.
In interviewing the owner, former state police criminal investigator Larry Mitchell said, state police determined the likely range of the vehicle before it would need refueling.
Agents focused on one of the few all-night gas stations along the Interstate 95 corridor north of Richmond.
"It turned out that there was a sighting at a station in Thornburg" about 50 minutes north of Richmond, Mitchell said. The description of the vehicle matched and so did the arrangement of its four occupants: three black men and a white man.
"The white guy was in the bed of the truck facing backwards," Mitchell said.
Years later, Tuggle would tell reporters he had trouble tracking the escape route because "they made me sit in the back; all I could see was the back of the highway signs."
Tuggle, minutes after robbing a store clerk at knifepoint, would be arrested June 8 in Vermont's southwest corner trying to outrace a local constable.
Tuggle was driving the truck stolen in Warrenton.
"He popped like a grape," said a state trooper when asked the day of the arrest if Tuggle was cooperative.
Tuggle said the Brileys exited the truck in Philadelphia, Mitchell and Lettner recalled.
Tuggle watched the Briley brothers ditch part of their correctional uniforms and a badge in the hollow of a tree in a park in Philadelphia, Mitchell said.
That same day, June 8, police arrested Jones in northern Vermont a few miles from the Canadian border, leaving only the Brileys unaccounted for.
Jones, whose mother persuaded him to surrender, had been driven north by Tuggle.
Back in Philadelphia, state police agents working with the FBI found the uniforms hidden in the tree. The hunt for the Brileys in the City of Brotherly Love heated up.
A key focus was an uncle, Johnnie Lee Council, who lived there.
But Mitchell said agents found it very difficult to track the man's movement because of the teeming North Philadelphia neighborhoods he frequented and the traffic congestion.
A big break came with a call to a person in New York whose telephone was being monitored. Lettner and Mitchell declined to discuss specifics of the call.
But immediately after the escape, efforts were put in place to monitor Briley relatives, former associates and people they had been in contact with throughout their prison years.
It took two days to locate the origin of the call to New York: a garage in North Philadelphia. The FBI sent an informant to see who was there, Mitchell said.
Descriptions came back fitting the Brileys.
Within a matter of hours that day, June 19, teams of federal agents swarmed the building, catching the Brileys barbecuing chicken over a charcoal fire in an alley.
They had been sleeping in the garage, doing odd jobs and befriending neighbors.
People called them Lucky and Slim. Linwood was Lucky; James was Slim.
Fairmont in North Philadelphia, where the capture went down shortly after 9 p.m., was a no-questions-asked neighborhood notorious for crime and secrecy.
"It's where people live to prey on other people," taxi driver Richard Batchlor told a reporter at the time. "You live here, you get preyed on."
"All I could see was barrels of shotguns," said Dan Latham, who owned the garage, when police stormed the place. He had no idea, he said, who Slim and Lucky really were, even as the three of them listened to news reports of the escape.
Charges of aiding and abetting against Council, the uncle who helped settle the Brileys in Philadelphia, were dropped.
Within minutes of the capture, Jay Cochran, head of the state police's Bureau of Criminal Investigation, called the trooper on duty at the Executive Mansion.
When Robb got on the line, Cochran uttered the words that ended 19 days of torment: The Brileys were in custody. No one had been harmed.
The Briley brothers returned to Richmond on June 21, arriving at the now-demolished State Penitentiary — located near the NewMarket Corp. (formerly Ethyl Corp.) complex off Belvidere Street — about 9:15 p.m.
Driven from Philadelphia by a cortege of law-enforcement vehicles, the two brothers received a loud reception from the 900 inmates who quickly became aware of their presence.
"I don't know if it was cheers or jeers," a supervisor with the U.S. Marshals Service said at the time.
Death by electrocution would soon follow, the end game in a years-long legal process rather than retribution for escaping.
Linwood, 30, went first. His case had been heard by about 40 judges since his arrest in October 1979. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected his final appeal Oct. 11, 1984; he died the next night at 11:05 for the murder of disc jockey John "Johnny G" Gallaher.
Prison officials at the State Penitentiary rejected Briley's request that his last meal be the same as that of other inmates. He received steak instead of fried chicken.
He was able to hold his mother in his arms earlier in the day, but the same opportunity was not extended to him regarding his son, then 10, a child who went on to become a career criminal.
Hundreds of protesters chanted or wept on either side of Belvidere Street as the death hour approached: one side spelling out "F-R-Y," the other holding candles.
Cook, of Richmond's major-crimes unit, witnessed the electrocution, calling it "quick and uneventful."
Death-row inmates at Mecklenburg signed a petition, saying they would protest the execution by not eating. Eleven of the 19 signers ate anyway.
Linwood Briley's execution was the second in Virginia after the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. The total is now 102.
James Briley was executed April 18, 1985, also in the electric chair at the state prison in Richmond.
In a last interview, he professed his innocence and his love for his brother, whose death steeled his courage.
James said he had vowed to be nearby at his brother's execution, something prison officials didn't want. James said he took two hits from a stun gun and was dragged away.
"I told them I wouldn't leave my brother. I wouldn't walk out."
The morning of James' execution, fellow inmates rioted in hopes of stalling the electrocution. They injured nine guards in brutal attacks that used homemade knives. In the minutes before he died, James twice looked to witnesses and asked, "Are you happy?"
Tuggle, the last of the escapees executed, chose lethal injection. He died Dec. 12, 1996. A tattoo on his arm spoke to a bitter truth: "Born to Die."
Tuggle was almost buoyant in his last words to witnesses. He entered the death chamber and shouted, "Merry Christmas."

Q: Simulation of Boltzmann distribution I'm tackling with the problem in Blundell_Concepts in Thermal Physics textbook. Let me introduce the context first. Below figure is just taken from Blundell textbook section 4.6.

As you can see in fig(a), energy quanta is distributed on a 20*20 lattice initially. Then I start to choose two sites randomly and make a quanta exchange between each site(fig (b)). Then, after many repetitions of such process, I get the final result in fig(c). Such distribution really resembles the Boltzmann distribution case.
So the question is following:

For the case of $N\gg1$ sites with initially one quantum per site, show that after many repetitions one could expect there to be $N(n)$sites with n quanta, where $N(n)\approx2^{-n}N$.

I know that this is just a form of Boltzmann distribution but how could I derive such formula? I guess that if I show that $N(n+1)=aN(n)$ holds(where a is constant), it's straightforward to show that $N(n)\approx2^{-n}N$ holds. But I don't know how to do it.(This problem is listed on exercise 4.9)
Um... and one more question. If I start the above situation not initially with one quantum per site but $Q\gg1$quantum per site, is it okay to say $N(n)\approx2^{-n}NQ$?

A: Simple approach (does not account for temperature)
Let's focus on one particular site, say site $m$, where $0 \leq m < N$, and look at a single iteration of the quanta exchange process. The probability that $m$ loses a quantum in that iteration is $1/N$, because you could have chosen any of the $N$ sites. Likewise, the probability of $m$ gaining a quantum is $1/N$, because whichever site is chosen to lose a quantum, one of the $N$ sites has to be given it.
For $m$ to get $n$ quanta, it has to be chosen to gain a quantum $n$ times in a row without ever losing one. Since the probability of gain and loss is the same, the probability for this whole chain of events is $2^{-n}$. By multiplying the total number of sites with the probability to find a site with $n$ quanta, you get $N(n) = 2^{-n} N$ sites with $n$ quanta.
Remark 1: Actually, the probability of $m$ losing a quantum is higher or lower, because some sites will already have 0 quanta and cannot lose any more and $m$ might or might not be among them. I guess for sufficiently large $N$ this difference is simply negligible. This probably also is the reason for writing $N(n) \approx 2^{-n} N$ instead of "$=$".
Remark 2: In the process of $m$ getting $n$ quanta, there could also be "loops", in which $m$ first loses quanta and then gains them again or just does not participate in any quantum exchange processes, but since these loops may be arbitrarily long, for each step it does not matter if $m$ loses or gains or nothing happens, so their probability is just 1.
More sophisticated approach
If you have $N$ sites and want to distribute $NQ$ quanta on them, the number of possibilities to do this is
$$
\Omega(NQ) = \begin{pmatrix} NQ + N - 1 \\ N - 1 \end{pmatrix} \approx \begin{pmatrix} NQ + N \\ N \end{pmatrix} = \frac{(NQ + N)!}{(NQ)! N!}~,
$$
where the parts in parenthesis are binomial coefficients, not vectors. To see why this is true, encode the system's state as a sequence of dots and bars (e.g. "....|..|.|..."), where dots represent quanta and bars separate sites (in the example, site 1 has 4 quanta, site 2 has 2, site 3 has 1 and so on). Out of the $NQ + N - 1$ characters of the code, you have to choose $N-1$ to be bars, hence the binomial coefficient.
Now let's assume that site $m$ has $n$ quanta. The number of possibilities to distribute the remaining $NQ-n$ quanta on the remaining $N-1$ sites is
$$
\Omega_s(n) = \begin{pmatrix} NQ - n + N - 2 \\ N-2 \end{pmatrix} \approx \begin{pmatrix} NQ - n + N \\ N \end{pmatrix} = \frac{(NQ - n + N)!}{(NQ - n)! N!}~.
$$
Next we calculate
$$
\log \Omega_s(n) = \log(NQ - n + N)! - \log(NQ-n)! - \log N! \\
\overset{\text{Stirling's approximation}}\approx (NQ - n + N) \log(NQ - n + N) - NQ + n - N - (NQ - n) \log(NQ - n) + NQ - n - N \log N + N \\
=(NQ - n + N) \log(NQ - n + N) - (NQ - n) \log(NQ - n) - N \log N \\
=NQ \left( 1 - \underbrace{\frac{n}{NQ}}_{=: x}  + \frac 1 Q \right) \log \left( NQ \left( 1 - \frac{n}{NQ} + \frac 1Q \right) \right) - NQ \left( 1 - \frac{n}{NQ} \right) \log \left( NQ \left( 1 - \frac{n}{NQ} \right) \right) - N \log N \\
= NQ ( 1 - x + 1/Q) (\log(NQ) + \log(1-x+1/Q)) - NQ(1-x) (\log(NQ + \log(1-x)) - N \log N \\
\overset{\text{Taylor expansion in $x$ around 0}}= \log \Omega(NQ) + (-NQ \log(NQ + N) + NQ \log NQ)x + \mathcal O(x^2) \\
=\log \Omega(NQ) + \log \left( \frac{NQ}{NQ + N} \right) n + \mathcal O(x^2)~.
$$
Thus, there follows
$$
\log \frac{\Omega_s(n)}{\Omega(NQ)} = \log \Omega_s(n) - \log \Omega(NQ) = \log \left(\frac{NQ}{NQ + N} \right) n~,
$$
and exponentiation yields
$$
\frac{\Omega_s(n)}{\Omega(NQ)} = \exp \left( \log \left( \frac{NQ}{NQ + N} \right) n \right) = \left( \frac{NQ}{NQ + N} \right)^n~.
$$
Because all of the different possibilities in $\Omega_s(n)$ and $\Omega(NQ)$ are equally probable, this is the probability of finding site $m$ with $n$ quanta. If you set $Q = 1$, this becomes $(N / (2N))^n = 2^{-n}$, like before.

She is bold, yet reserved. She is modern, yet wears India's kaleidoscopic traditions with panache. She exuberates the spirit of youth, yet wears the grace of wisdom with class. She is Osaa.
A melange of rich embroideries, appliques, impeccable weaving, brilliant printing and dyeing, Osaa by Adarsh is a story of India's rich textile traditions replicated to form wedding couture. Adarsh Makharia saw the endless opportunities to engage the diverse artisans and designs and, with Osaa, weaved together a celebration of India's heritage with a twist of contemporary and restored it with classy pieces. The label, which has an exclusive studio in Kolkata and is also available in Ogaan and Aza can be described as reformed couture with a strong sense of colour and storytelling that compliments every bride.
Osaa is an emotion. The inspiration behind each piece can come from anything- a feeling, a photograph, people or even from a melody. A melange of creativity, instinct and reason, the label stands for sophisticated elegance, where subtle embroidery is paired with easy flowy silhouettes and fabrics. Even though wedding couture is traditional, the abstract design elements in every piece of Osaa plays with silk, tissue, mulberry and matka, adding drama to every outfit.
Osaa is crafted for a woman who values her Indian roots and cherishes her heritage; is modern in her thought process and who has an individual style of her own. Someone who seeks versatility, functionality, and yet glamour in her wedding ensembles. The Osaa woman isn't defined by where she lives, how many numbers are next to her age, or her profession. She is confident, rebellious, funny, klutzy, elegant, glamorous, vibrant. She is you. So wear a statement. Wear a story. Wear Osaa by Adarsh.
THE COUTURIER AND THE STORYTELLER
Adarsh, the name behind Osaa- a line of wedding couture, is a textile interpreter and not just a fashion designer. The shy and introverted designer has a range of designs that's designed for the independent, modern, chic woman who is rooted in traditions and heritage. His line is committed to restoring traditional craftsmanship and artisanal techniques in a contemporary vocabulary. Passionate and hard-working, he believes in learning by experience because he isn't scared of failure. 'Without a failure my brand wouldn't have seen the light of the day." The designer might have a simple outlook towards life, but his design aesthetics have the right dash of drama. And why not? Adarsh understands drama and storytelling because his career started with drama. "I was not into silhouettes and didn't have a certificate in design, but I wanted to do something new. I knew it was going to be a challenge to put my collection on the ramp. I remember putting my blood and sweat in a show when, after a lot of work, I clinched my first client. I'd put my entire life on hold through the process. The show that was supposed to happen in Goa was a pretty big break for a newbie and kit had become my life. I remember a day before the show, we were all set, but as fate had in store for me, the organiser backed out at the last minute." That show never happened. But Osaa did.
For one year, I tried to keep myself afloat and kept pushing myself, and finally In 2013 I got my big break. "I'm my biggest critique and that acts like my strength. I'm not ashamed to accept that I've failed and I have arrived, because I've never given up." The proof is his enviable repertoire of clientele- transcending Bollywood and the international circuit, though he doesn't like to brag about it. "I'm still learning. I'm a student. I've miles to go before I sleep." The inventive designer has cracked the perfect balance between minimalism and radical. Maybe that's because he is an observer of people, and the stories they live. He believes that the essence of a woman is what she is on the inside and the right clothes can beautifully translate that. "It's very tough to carry simple clothes. Thousands of people have tried to copy Indira Gandhi, but no one could justify! She was a trendsetter. Why do you think so? Clothes can never make a person. But the inner core and the outer veneer has to be perfectly aligned in harmony. That's what makes the perfect ensemble." Adarsh has taken his strength and love for indigenous craft and textiles to create an ethnic wear line with distinctive, opulent and inventive textiles. He loves to bring the NRIs close to the Indian roots with his creations. Hence he promotes the use of traditional embroideries, dyeing and printing techniques. Just like his personality, his designs are classic with a slight twist of Indianness and strong color essence. He likes his monochrome subject and break that with his handicraft. He believes that good design can actually bring out the wearer's personality, and hence his simple designs with bold twists take out a strong women out of it.
Steeped in heritage yet very fashionable, Osaa is an emotion. The humble designer also keeps reinventing his design sensibilities. The inspiration behind each piece sometimes comes from a feeling, a photograph, from a melody or even from people. "I am a great believer that you need passion and energy to create a truly successful business. I want our small projects to take bold steps. In the long term, I want the brand to outlive me and everyone else involved." Adarsh believes in constantly discovering himself and spends a lot of his time in spiritual living. He believes Osaa is a meditation through which he achieves happiness. A man of few words, it's beautiful how he uses his designs as a canvas to express himself. Purity of his designs translate to his work ethos as well. Hence it's not a surprise that Adarsh is a man of ethics and transparency. 'Everything in my company is reported and filed systematically. You can only grow if you are transparent. 15 years back, I included computer in our system. I can say we were amongst the first ones. I got bank accounts opened for my people/ karigars, much to the dismay of my people at that time as most of them were less educated. But today my people have become entrepreneurs. They appreciate order and beauty in being truthful- whether it's in life or in designs.' Touché.

Fanny Magdalena Hult, född 3 februari 1861 i Kuopio, död 30 november 1945 i Helsingfors, var en finländsk marthaledare.

Efter sin makes, geografen Ragnar Hults, frånfälle 1899 ägnade sig Hult helt åt verksamhet inom martharörelsen, som grundades ungefär samtidigt. Hon var Marthaförbundets sekreterare 1899–1904 och dess ordförande 1904–1924. Då organisationen sistnämnda år uppdelades på språklig grund blev hon ordförande för Finlands svenska Marthaförbund, en post som hon innehade till 1930. Martharörelsens utomordentliga framgång i svenskbygderna var i hög grad hennes förtjänst.

Gestures are often regarded as the most typical compensatory device used by language learners in communicative trouble. Yet gestural solutions to communicative problems have rarely been studied within any theory of second language use. The work presented in this volume aims to account for second language learners' strategic use of speech-associated gestures by combining a process-oriented framework for communication strategies with a cognitive theory of gesture. Two empirical studies are presented. The production study investigates Swedish learners of French and French learners of Swedish and their use of strategic gestures. The results, which are based on analyses of both individual and group behaviour, contradict popular opinion as well as theoretical assumptions from both fields. Gestures are not primarily used to replace speech, nor are they chiefly mimetic. Instead, learners use gestures with speech, and although they do exploit mimetic gestures to solve lexical problems, they also use more abstract gestures to handle discourse-related difficulties and metalinguistic commentary. The influence of factors such as proficiency, task, culture, and strategic competence on gesture use is discussed, and the oral and gestural strategic modes are compared. In the evaluation study, native speakers' assessments of learners' gestures, and the potential effect of gestures on evaluations of proficiency are analysed and discussed in terms of individual communicative style. Compensatory gestures function at multiple communicative levels. This has implications for theories of communication strategies, and an expansion of the existing frameworks is discussed taking both cognitive and interactive aspects into account.

The topic of this paper is the way in which speakers order information in discourse. I will refer to this issue with the term "linearization", and will begin with two types of general remarks. The first one concerns the scope and relevance of the problem with reference to some existing literature. The second set of general remarks will be about the place of linearization in a theory of the speaker. The following, and main part of this paper, will be a summary report of research of linearization in a limited, but well-defined domain of discourse, namely the description of spatial networks.

This work presents a salvage grammar of the Biri language of Eastern Central Queensland, a Pama-Nyungan language belonging to the large Maric subgroup. As the language is no longer used, the grammatical description is based on old written sources and on recordings made by linguists in the 1960s and 1970s. Biri is in many ways typical of the Pama-Nyungan languages of Southern Queensland. It has split case marking systems, marking nouns according to an ergative/absolutive system and pronouns according to a nominative/accusative system. Unusually for its area, Biri also has bound pronouns on its verb, cross-referencing the person, number and case of core participants. As far as it is possible, the grammatical discussion is 'theory neutral'. The first four chapters deal with the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the language. The last two chapters contain a substantial discussion of Biri's place in the Pama-Nyungan family. In chapter 6 the numerous dialects of the Biri language are discussed. In chapter 7 the close linguistic relationship between Biri and the surrounding languages is examined.

Great launch at Macdonald park. Steeper bank at Corrothers Conservation area for the time being. It is in the works to get a proper launch made.
This route starts either in the Town of Wallaceburg or near Port Lambton at Macdonald park. The trip runs through mostly agricultural lands and the town itself and eventually into the Sny river. Average width of the creek is about 50-60 feet and no areas that depth is an issue even in the summer.
We started at Corrothers Conservation area inside Wallaceburg, On. We shuttled one vehicle down to the take out location at Macdonald park on the Sny river. We started paddling a little after 10:00am. The Creek was a very slow moving creek that day and a good thing as we were paddling up the flow. There were a number of very unique small bridges that haven't been used for some time on this route and some very uniqe shore lines for this area as well. The shore line went from being a more residential docked area to marsh lands and into more agricultural lands with some obvious signs of usage for a long time with some old machinery dotting the shoreline from time to time. Eventually it took us into the Sny river and nice clear blue water that the area is known for. All in all it is a very relaxing non challenging paddle and a good outing for anyone that just wants a quick paddle close to town. We arrived at Macdonald park close to 1:30PM and shuttled the boats back to the put in location. My only comments for this route is that next time I think I'll start it at Macdonald and do the reverse with the flow and that Corruthers C.A. does not have a maintained canoe/kayak launch at this time but apparently it is in the plans for the future.
It's a nice quiet paddle with very little other boat traffic. There are a few alternate put in and take outs available by looking at the map.


Crimestoppers is a program that involves the public, the media and the police in the fight against crime. It offers anonymity and cash rewards to persons who furnish information leading the arrest and conviction of suspects.
Citizens are asked to call Crimestoppers with any information regarding any crime which occurred in the city of Bartlett. All calls are kept in complete confidence. Citizens supplying information leading to an arrest and conviction are eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.00.
The Crimestoppers Board determines the amount of the award.
To phone in a tip on a crime or a possible crime, simply call 382-MONY. Don't tell your name. No one will know it. Just tell what you know or suspect and get your own secret personal ID number. Use it later when you call back to find out if the Police made an arrest and how to collect your reward.

SPER Names Maria Wennerberg Sedigh as New CEO
Maria Wennerberg Sedigh has been named as the new chief executive of Spelbranschens Riksorganisation (SPER), the Swedish National Organisation of the Gaming Industry.
Wennerberg Sedigh will replace Jenny Nilzon in March, with the latter having announced her departure from SPER after five years in the job.
An experienced Swedish civil-servant, Sedigh was a former Regeringskansliet (Government Office) Deputy Director overseeing budget coordination for the Ministries of Communications, Finance and Home Industries.
From 2015-to-2017 Sedigh served as the Inquiry Secretary providing guidance on the regulatory development of the government's reform of the gambling laws – required to re-launch Sweden's online gambling marketplace in 2019.
Prior to the marketplace's relaunch, Sedigh has served as a senior policy advisor for gambling inspectorate Spelinspektionen.
SPER underlined Sedigh as the ideal candidate to lead its organisation, having worked across all legislative disciplines of Swedish gambling.
"We on the board are extremely happy that Maria will be the one to lead SPER further. She has a unique knowledge of the industry and I look forward to our collaboration," said Patrik Hofbauer, chairman of SPER and CEO of Svenska Spel.
Sedigh will lead SPER as its members await for the Swedish government to finalise its "2nd phase" reforms of Sweden's online gambling marketplace post its 2019 relaunch.
Swedish authorities have stated that reforms will be focused on further consumer safeguards, operator accountability and stricter advertising laws
"I am happy to have gained the trust. I will continue to develop SPER's work with self-regulation, consumer protection and industry confidence – as an important assignment that needs to be carried out," Sedigh said.
