But hey, if you love to cast Through the Breach I can help you out with my love and frustrations trying to carry the fun torch of an alien or a whatchamaDrazi breaching through the portal!
UR Breach Control Lately I have been trying something different from Primeval Titan and Valakut. I've been playing a decent amount of UR Breach, which utilizes cheap card draw to smooth out the first few turns as well as having early removal against creature decks with Lightning Bolt and Snapcaster Mages. This version of this breach deck can also win games solely with Blood Moon.
The UR Breach deck plays out very differently than the GR Breach deck that I was used to playing. We are a Blue Moon control shell with a combo finish. Although our finisher is very strong, you still need to set up the game to the point where the combo can kill them or devastate their board enough for you to draw the last few points of damage to finish the game. Sacrificing six permanents or dealing fifteen damage is good but isn't always enough.
The Strength of Blood Moon I do feel Blood Moon is very well positioned in this current modern metagame. You also gain a huge edge every game one having Blood Moon when your opponent doesn't play around it. Blood Moon in combination with Spreading Seas can also just close out games if your opponents are trying to play around the "bloody enchantment". I would try and save your Spreading Seas for an optimal target if you feel like Blood Moon is going to be back breaking in the matchup. After sideboard you can easily board down on Blood Moon knowing your opponent will make an effort to prevent getting locked out.
Blood Moon is a main reason why I have chosen to switch from a traditional GR Through the Breach to a more Controlling Blood Moon, Breach Control Deck. I feel like this card should be banned in modern and I guess I will join the Blood Moon train til the moon fades away!
You want to cut your more expensive spells against this aggressive deck and add a couple board sweepers along with some nice artifact removal. This setup is right where you want to be. Cryptic Command can be good at times but it can also sit in your hand and be a dead draw most of the games unless you can stabilize very early. I do think Blood Moon can be good most of the time to stop Inkmoth Nexus and Blinkmoth Nexus, but it can also line up poorly when you need to just stop their cards. I like to cut at least 1 Blood moon and the Pull from Tomorrow is an easy cut as this is another late game card that we do not want to have against Affinity in our early draws.
This match can be very easy if they do not resolve an early Geist of Saint Traft. You do have to watch your life total since they play a decent amount of burn spells. Blood Moon is very back breaking against this deck but it has risks when you cast it early. Tapping your mana opens you up to a resolved Geist, so be mindful to not be too aggressive. If you are pressuring them to answer your Blood Moon by following it up with a resolved Breach combo then by all means push the threats. I usually try to save Spreading Seas for their Celestial Colonnades but watch out for when they try to bounce your Spreading Seas end of turn with Cryptic Command to deal the last four with the creature land.
The Storm match up is a tough matchup post sideboard. They are bringing in Dispels and more Empty the Warrens to fight your counterspells. I have a good win rate versus this deck but if they resolve an early Empty the Warrens that is their easiest route to victory. Be mindful of when to kill their creatures, try and position yourself to where they have to burn extra resources in order to push a threat like Gifts Ungiven or Past in Flames. This is a matchup where casting end of turn Through the Breach is the main way you can resolve your combo. If you cast a Through the Breach at the end of their turn, the sacrifice the creature trigger doesn't occur until the next end step which is your turn. I've also seen Storm lists that have Cyclonic Rift so be mindful of that spell as well.
The 5C Humans deck is a very popular deck as of late. Turn 2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is still pretty good last time I checked! Being on the draw against the Humans deck can be game over fairly quickly. Be sure to keep hands that have a decent amount of early interaction to fight off Thalias, Meddling Mages, or the aggressive Champion of Parish draws. I usually save my Lightning Bolts and do not kill their turn 1 Noble Hierarch. They have too many problematic creatures to waste a premium removal spell on their accelerator. You also get extra value by leaving the Nobles around post board when we have 3 Anger of the Gods. Depending on the version of the deck they only have 1 basic Plains, so try and save your Spreading Seas for that land so Blood Moon can deal with the rest. The humans deck does not gain much after board so our matchup should improve a decent amount. They do have an answer to our combo with an Aether Vial on 3 counters with Reflector Mage so just make sure to try and avoid that disaster.
The boogie man of the format. It is so hard to bring in cards or configure a deck that is great against this deck without giving up so many additional cards for other matchups. This matchup and Dredge are the main reasons why I want to take out the Emperion + Madcap Combo #Rantoff. The best way to for us to beat Shadow is to keep the board clean and hope that the early discard does not result into a super fast Death's Shadow clock. We do have Remands to slow down their early Delve creatures. This matchup will always be close and they can always roll over any opponent with early Thoughtseizes plus a quick threat. They will most likely cut 4 Fatal Push for some Stubborn Denials and probably some Lilianas.
Final Thoughts I'm leaning towards cutting the Madcap Experiment + Platinum Emperion package. Most of the matches that this combo is good against they already know it's coming so they board in artifact removal and you can lose games solely on relying on the combo sticking. Tapping four mana only to get hit by Ancient Grudge is really bad. We can use those six open sideboard cards help out other matchups like Affinity, Dredge/graveyard decks or Blue control shells.
If you are wanting to cut the Platinum Emperion combo I would suggest adding a couple Young Pyromancers, Relic of Progenitus, or Engineered Explosives. I am a huge fan of Engineered Explosives based on how versatile the card is. It's great against Death's Shadow, Tarmogoyfs, Lantern Control, Humans and even Empty the Warrens Tokens. I feel like we could shave an Anger of the Gods for an Engineered Explosives if we are taking out the Emperion package to give us more game against a wider spread of the format. I do like the idea of Young Pyromancer out of the board since most matchups our opponents will take out early removal and we can punish them pretty hard with an early Young Peezy.
I am most likely going to run a list very similar to this at Grand Prix Oklahoma City. If you are intrigued or interested in playing UR Breach at your local store events or even the Grand Prix feel free to post in the comments below or contact me on Twitter.
I piloted my own take of UR Breach which I personally like alot. Having said that, there have been frustrating moments esp against discard spells and more aggressive aggro or burn decks. I also agree on madcap being super anticipated.
I'm running a jeskai version now, as white helps give you some answers UR is poorer at answering. But i have to forgo the moons for now.
I'm curious with the focus being on blood moon that you should have some number of Izzet Charms main instead of Electrolyze or does Opt take that role over sufficiently? Charms will help dig you deeper to either the blood moon or combo piece while acting as some removal / counterspell as well. I haven't played the deck before, so I assume you'd know better if it ever feels like the electrolyze isn't doing enough for you .
I believe it had been played at one point in the deck's history, but had fallen out of favor. With the current state of combo decks in modern, you may need to just loot away your cryptics.
That said, I do like EE and a few ceremonious rejection (which is conspicuously absent in your sideboard) over the emperion package.


Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders. PCOS is a complex, heterogeneous disorder of uncertain etiology, but there is strong evidence that it can to a large degree be classified as a genetic disease. PCOS is characterized by high levels of androgens, a male hormones particularly testosterone resulting in high levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and low levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which prevent follicles from producing a mature egg from the ovary and is associated with insulin resistance. Small cysts called poly cysts usually, but not always, surround the ovaries and appear like a strand of pearls on an ultrasound examination. The cysts develop from hormonal imbalances.
Excessive androgen secretions can lead to excess collection of fluid in a thin walled sac like structure of ovary, which further leads for formation of cyst in the ovary.
FEMDAYS help toning the muscles of the uterus, balancing the reproductive hormones to stop excessive uterine contractions and optimal endocrine functions to balance the entire hormonal axis naturally, thereby relieving the spasmodic pain.
FEMDAYS reduces high levels of androgens and prostaglandin levels in the body and increases the Serotonin levels. Also balances the hormones estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and progesterone.
The patient should not consume deep fried and tart food. The last week of the menstrual cycle is very vital for these patients. Should avoid anything cause constipation. Vegetable like Colocasia, Yellow pumpkin, Potato, Brinjaland red meat, dairy products, caffeine, Tea, coffee, alcohol, aerated drinks, salt, and sugar are to be avoided. White pumpkin, Papaya, Drumstick, Bitter gourd and Cucumber are helpful. Garlic is recommended. Women having Dysmenorrhea should use garlic in a dose of 10 cloves, two times a day.
2. Provide your Symptoms. How long are you suffering from PCOS? Details of the treatment taken.
Please give us the best time and number to call you back if required.

But there are other computers on the same subnet as my computer which can ping the board some of them are also pingable! from board and some not. And more puzzling for me is that even those that are not pingable from board can telnet to it. (but not my computer)
There is no firewall on my computer and my computer and other nodes on network see each other. Rebooting the board makes no change. And here is the output of arp command on the board after pinging my computer: (It is successful)

Where can i look for source of problem?

A: (Written up as answer after confirmation).
Are you sure 192.168.0.0 is a /16 network? If the other machines have it configured as 192.168.1.0/24 (which is more usual), then your 192.168.5.0 on eth1 would just get ignored, and therefore no pings.
Change the netmask to 255.255.255.0 for a /24 subnet on this computer, or change the netmask to 255.255.0.0 for a /16 subnet on the other computers, and see if that fixes it.

How do I buy tickets?
We don't operate trains or sell train tickets.
HSRA is an advocacy group working to bring fast, frequent trains to North America.
You can check out GoBrightline.com or Amtrak.com for information on trains in the US.
High-speed rail is a proven technology, with over 28,000 miles of high-speed line in over 20 countries.
At its core, high-speed rail has two components:
1. High-speed trains. Today's fastest trains cruise at 220 mph.
2. Dedicated high-speed lines. High-speed lines are like interstate highways with gentle curves and easy hills. All other railroads, roads, and walkways go over or under the tracks to create a sealed corridor.
As a result, high-speed rail is twice as fast as driving and more convenient than short flights.
But there is a lot more to the story.
What is the world's fastest train?
Short answer: China's Beijing to Shanghai line.
The Beijing to Shanghai line is the fastest train running on a regular schedule. It cruises at 350 km/h (217 mph).
The French TGV holds the world speed record of 357.2 mph.
Why doesn't the U.S. have high-speed trains already?
Short Answer: You get what you pay for.
We've built roads, airports, and suburban sprawl through massive public funding and tax breaks. But privately-owned railroads in North America have few incentives to run quality passenger trains.
In our out-of-whack transportation system, federal highway spending leads to ever-more roads and lanes, which makes traffic congestion ever-worse. Meantime, train options remain a low priority for many legislators. Although trains would help solve the congestion problem and reduce our carbon footprint, railroads don't have the same political muscle (i.e., lobbyists) as roads and airports.
That's why a strong show of grassroots support is crucial.

When can I ride high-speed trains?
The answer depends on you!
We urgently need a network of fast, frequent trains in the U.S. Only the sustained energy of a broad base of supporters will make it happen. The Alliance is committed to organizing and leveraging the energy of the national movement for high-speed trains. We hope you'll join us.
For now, you can ride Brightline trains in Florida and Amtrak's Acela system. The new Acela trains run up to 160 mph and accommodate nearly 400 passengers, or about a fourth more than older Acela models.
Acela trains run from Washington, D.C. to Boston with 16 intermediate stops. Acela has a nonstop service from D.C. to New York City that takes about 2.5 hours.
Isn't the U.S. too big for trains?
France, Japan, and other countries have shown that high-speed rail is transformative, but it has nothing to do with the length of their rail lines. And, in any case, many of the lines in countries often cited as "right" for HSR are much longer than most people imagine. Japan's main line, for example, covers the distance from Boston to Orlando. And China has connected most of its major cities, with a network that would strech from Miami to Boston and New York to Omaha.
What's important isn't the size of the country but the will to invest in bold, visionary projects.
Why not just fly or drive?
When Americans actually experience high-speed rail, the question answers itself.
HSR vastly improves the travel experience by nearly every measure. It's cheaper and more comfortable than flying or driving. It's far safer and quicker than driving, and it beats (or is competitive with) flight times on trips up to about 1,000 miles. And in an era of intensifying climate change, it has the lowest carbon footprint—by far—of the three options.
Can short flights be replaced by HSR?
Yes. They can and should be replaced by HSR—for many reasons.
Trains are a safe, affordable, and low-stress alternative to flying. And short flights are notorious gas-guzzlers at a time when we urgently need to slash greenhouse-gas emissions. They're inefficient time-wise as well. The 110-mile flight from Madison (WI) to Chicago, for example, takes roughly an hour in the air, but airport terminal and driving/parking time add a minimum of 1.5 hours. By contrast, a high-speed train from Madison to Chicago, via Milwaukee, could easily take passengers to and from the city centers in under 2 hours. And, if upgrades to O'Hare Airport transformed it into a railroad hub, HSR could also replace the "puddle jumper" flights that connect dozens of cities in the region to the airport. That will be great for travelers from all over the Midwest and for O'Hare, which is undergoing a multi-billion-dollar upgrade. HSR would seriously improve O'Hare's competitive advantages as the premiere transportation hub of the Midwest.
Can we run high-speed lines down the middle of interstate highways?
The idea is appealing, since it largely eliminates the right-of-way issues that are some of the biggest obstacles to high-speed rail.
The big challenge is that high-speed tracks must be straight for long stretches, and the medians would need to be very wide to accommodate trains. Except for some remote parts of the West, there are very few places in the U.S. where the roads meet those conditions. A related idea that deserves more study is to run the tracks alongside some highways—as Brightline does along State Road 528 in Florida. That segment is part of the line connecting Orlando International Airport to Miami.
Are hyperloop and maglev HSR? Can they work?
High-speed trains are powered by cutting-edge technologies, but they still employ steel wheels on steel rails, just like the earliest trains.
In both hyperloop and maglev systems, vehicles "float" on magnetic fields as they are propelled through a guideway. A key difference is that hyperloop vehicles run through de-pressurized tubes to reduce wind resistance—thus saving energy and allowing for faster speeds. The maximum speed for maglev vehicles is roughly 270 mph. For hyperloop vehicles, it's projected to be 750+ mph. Both systems can "work," but scaling them is a huge challenge since they are prohibitively expensive to build. And, in the case of hyperloop, there are significant safety concerns in transporting people through underground tubes at high speeds. HSR's big advantages are that it's a proven technology with a stellar safety record across six decades; and it's continually evolving and improving as countries across the globe add it to their transportation systems.
Doesn't the lack of population density of the Midwest make HSR uneconomical?
No. A high-speed train network in the region would connect a substantial share of the nation's population with a train ride of well under 3 hours.
For example, about one-sixth of the U.S. population—55 million people—live within 300 miles of Indianapolis. That's about twice the number of people living within 300 miles of Austin and Los Angeles (29 million and 30 million people, respectively). And it blows away most other major cities, including Atlanta (37 million), Charlotte (36 million), and Seattle (12 million). For comparison, 67 million people live within 300 miles of Philadelphia. Outside of New England and the mid-Atlantic states, in short, there's nothing in the U.S. comparable to the population density of the Midwest. And consider this: Fast, frequent service between Chicago and Indianapolis would incentivize investments in a high-speed line between those cities and two of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S—Atlanta and Nashville. A train ride of 4-5 hours from Chicago to Atlanta—with intermediate stops in Indianapolis, Louisville, Nashville, and Chattanooga—would transform both regions.
Doesn't the Covid-19 pandemic eliminate the need for HSR?
Nothing has changed in the fundamentals that make high-speed rail the premiere transportation mode of the twenty-first century.
In fact, the pandemic has spotlighted one reason we need to shift rapidly away from car culture: Even with less congestion on the roads, speeds and fatalities have spiked to record levels. Trains are safe and green. And because people can board and leave at intermediate stops, they make small and mid-sized communities within a region more connected to each other and to bigger cities. They also deliver people right to the heart of urban areas—which boosts land values and builds thriving downtowns. The truth is, there is no more powerful tool for shaping and reshaping communities than transportation modes. Highways and airports hollow out cities. Trains add value. We need them now more than ever.
Where will we get the money for HSR?
As with the interstate highway system, it will will come from a variety of sources—state and local investments, federal investments, private investments, user fees, and more.
Traditionally, federal transportation spending has followed an 80/20 breakdown—80 percent for highways, 20 percent for public transportation. But in recent funding bills there has been an encouraging shift toward a more balanced approach. The bipartisan infrastructure bill passed by Congress in late 2021, for example, earmarked $110 billion for roads and bridges, $69 billion for passenger trains, and $39 billion for public transit.
In other words, the investments were roughly split between highways and trains/buses. At the same time, private companies are taking a strong interest in HSR as an investment opportunity. Projects in Florida, Texas, and Nevada/California are all being pursed by private firms. And Microsoft has been a major supporter and funder of recent reports and case studies focused on bringing HSR to the Pacific Northwest.
Why should I support HSR if I'm nowhere close to a station?
HSR systems incentivize investments and improvements across entire regions—not just in the communities they serve directly.
That's true even before the high-speed trains begin running. Consider the case of California. The first high-speed line is several years away from being operational, but planning for the line is driving improvements to Silicon Valley's commuter-rail system, Caltrain. It will soon run trains at up to 110 mph, with departures every 15 minutes during peak hours. Those upgrades are being funded (in part) by funds earmarked for HSR, since the two systems will share the same tracks. And both systems are part of a 2040 vision for the state's overall transportation system. HSR incentivizes more service and better options—more passenger and commuter trains, more buses and bike trails—across a whole transportation system. Everyone wins.
So how do I join the Alliance?
We only exist due to the generosity of our individual members.
Become a member of a growing community working to bring the game-changing power of fast, frequent, and affordable trains to North America.
You'll become a member by donating.
What will you do with my money?
We inform, organize, and give voice to the broad coalition of people who want fast, frequent trains in North America.
That means we work with state legislators and members of Congress on bills that fund passenger rail and transit systems, and we support high-speed rail projects being planned or now underway—California's project in particular.
More funding for trains in the bill is crucial to the future of passenger rail service in the U.S. Please sign our petition here.
In addition to that nuts-and-bolts work, we create a vision and a path forward for what high-speed rail can look like in the United States.
People unfamiliar with HSR often think of it as just a set of tracks and trains that connect two major destinations. But when it's done well, HSR is just one part of a tightly coordinated system that includes passenger rail, commuter rail, and buses—all working in sync.
HSR isn't transformative just because it moves people between cities several times faster than a car or a conventional train. It's transformative because it improves and multiplies the value of even conventional trains and transit systems. That means it connects and ties together whole regions, not just two endpoint cities. At the same time, it takes lots of cars off the roads.
So we work to educate people about the true scope of HSR's impact and its full range of benefits.
What's up with the Portland to British Columbia HSR project?
There's a lot of support for this project.
A 2019 business case analysis conducted by the Washington State Department of Transportation found that an "ultra-high-speed" rail system between Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver (B.C.) could be constructed for between $24 billion and $42 billion (including land-acquisition costs). Running at up to 220 mph, the trains would connect each city with a trip of less than an hour, shifting up to 20 percent of intercity trips to the high-speed rail system. Microsoft is a key supporter of the project, working with the states of Oregon and Washington and the province of British Columbia. In late 2020, WSDOT released a Framework for the Future report, which noted that the system would "provide an infusion of near-term construction jobs and long-term economic benefits, while providing zero-emission, equitable and modern infrastructure for future generations." Go here for updates and more information.
Where does the Acela run?
Acela is the high-speed train service operated by Amtrak in the 457-mile Northeast Corridor.
Acela trains run from Washington, D.C. to Boston with 16 intermediate stops, including Philadelphia and New York. In 2019, Acela launched a nonstop service from D.C. to New York City that takes roughly 2.5 hours, versus a little under 3 hours on the regular Acela Express. The fastest Acela trips from D.C. to Boston are about 6.5 hours. Acela's newest trainsets—built in western New York—can run up to 160 mph and accommodate nearly 400 passengers, or about a fourth more than older Acela models.
Why are Amtrak trains late so often?
In the U.S., most railroad tracks are owned by private companies that have focused on long, heavy, and delay-prone freight trains.
The industry has pushed potential customers that require fast and reliable service to use highways instead (both passengers and freight). The result has been frequent Amtrak delays and limited service. The answer is to create better incentives for the private railroads or for state or local governments to buy the tracks. (Amtrak owns some of the tracks in the Northeast Corridor, so the service there is less delay-prone.)
A high-speed line is something completely different than today's Amtrak service. Trains run on dedicated, grade-separated tracks, meaning the line runs above (or below) intersections and is used only by high-speed trains. So they run reliably on time in all kinds of weather. That's a big win both environmentally and in terms of efficiency, since one busy street-level crossing can create 45 days worth of stalled traffic—and produce 1,800 extra tons of greenhouse gas emissions—each year.
High-speed lines also feed passengers into connecting shared-use lines, making the improvements to those other lines more viable.
How to make shared-use lines better
I heard that California killed its high-speed rail project. What happened?
Many media outlets falsely reported that California Gov. Gavin Newsom had "pulled the plug" on the project in early 2019, but California's high-speed rail project is moving forward as planned.
The first phase—the Central Valley line running from Bakersfield to Merced—is expected to be in operation by 2028. In a February 2019 speech, Newsom reaffirmed the state's commitment to building the Central Valley segment and to moving forward with the environmental reviews required for the full Bay Area to Los Angeles line. Newsom promised to keep working to secure needed funds in the same speech in which he supposedly killed the project.
Why Start in the Central Valley?
There are a number of good reasons.
The Central Valley line will run through the heart of a region that's home to three major universities, 122 community colleges, six of California's 10 largest cities, and roughly three million people. Long before the full Bay Area to Los Angeles project is finished, it will connect the state's vibrant interior to the major coastal cities via transit service and conventional rail lines (now being upgraded).
One reason to begin in the Central Valley is that connecting the Bay Area to LA will require tunneling through mountains at the northern and southern ends of the full line. That's a daunting and expensive engineering feat. Starting with the Central Valley spine will demonstrate the power of high-speed rail and build political will to complete the full line.
Learn more about the project here.
Does HSR run on the same gauge of track as conventional trains?
However, mainline freight tracks are now built for two-mile-long trains with 35-ton axle weights, while HSR tracks are built for trains with about half that axle weight. The upshot is that, to run at higher speeds, high-speed trains need to run on tracks built specifically to accommodate lighter trainsets.

A few days ago I decided to play Color Splash again after not touching it since it came out. My save file was gone but I know why that is. The issue I'm having is, after being idle for a day or so the Gamepad starts flickering. It fixed itself when I left the stage I was in. I recall noticing this when I first played the game as well, but figured it was just because I was running it from a dump, and there must have been an issue with that. But now I'm playing a physical copy, and the gamepad still flickers after a while. I've never noticed this in any other game besides this one, and I haven't found any documentation on this happening to anyone else. Granted I do leave my Wii U idle when I'm not playing it, but that's always been convenient and worked fine for other games.
I also know the flickering is the game, not the display, because it doesn't flicker when I suspend the game and the home menu appears. Anyone have any suggestions/insight on why this may happen?
1. Assuming "idle" means "on", never do that, Wii U or otherwise, for that long of a period of time if you aren't using it. Waste of electricity and it degrades the system. If anything, that would be the issue.
2. What stage? Specifics would be helpful.
3. Stand closer to the system/make sure there are no obstructions. If the Gamepad is too far away from the Wii U/something is blocking the signal between them, the Gamepad is going to flicker. Happens to me sometimes, even when the Gamepad's in my room and the Wii U is right on the other side of the wall.
It was Port Prisma just now, but it also happened on IIRC Plum Park, the first time (in 2016).
The setup hasn't caused any issues in other games, there's no obstructions or anything. I typically leave it on if I plan to go back to the same game later, so I can jump right in instead of going through loading screens and whatnot. I understand what you're saying but I don't know why that would only affect this specific game and no others.
It sounds like a hardware issue to me. Perhaps there's a specific function in Color Splash that causes it to behave like this.

'Sober Stories' Tackles Music Industry's Substance & Alcohol Misuse
Author : Daisy Magana
Sober Stories is shedding light on the music industry's substance and alcohol misuse. Depression, anxiety, creative burnout are often what lead creatives to abuse drugs and alcohol. According to a study, musicians were the top profession of drug-related deaths accounting for 38.6 percent between 1970 and 2015. Sober Stories wants to break the music industry's vicious cycle where artists struggle with alcohol and drugs ultimately affecting their mental health.
The online series brings together five personal stories from members of the music industry. Certified, professional, creative and trauma-informed recovery coach Rose Romain serves as its host. Lauren Flax, U.K. DJ Santero, Mother Lode Founder Kat Bailey, techno and house producer Ceri , Paris-based artist Louisahhh, and the legendary Tommie Sunshine are among the series' guests.
The stories are an in-depth account of the journey into their sober lives, the effect of drugs and alcohol on their mental health, the decisions that lead to recovery or choosing a sober life, and life post alcohol. In no way are they preaching to people not to drink or take recreational drugs to let people know that they are not alone in taking the steps to sobriety. They want people to know that there is support and that more and more people are making conscious changes around their drinking and drug-taking habits.
Sober Stories Tackles Music Industry's Substance & Alcohol Misuse
It's important to me to share my story because there may be a chance that it resonates with someone struggling. Maybe it will give them the courage to start a similar path or start one all their own.
On why Lauren Flax became part of Sober Stories
There seems to be a psychedelic renaissance. The psychedelic drugs market is projected to reach $6.85 billion by 2027. Clinical research shows its therapeutic effects for treating illnesses such as addiction, depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With evidence highlighting its benefits, more people are considering this treatment. Lauren describes her encounter with ayahuasca in her Sober Stories interview. "I had been tattooing hearts all over my body…subconsciously looking for my heart for years and didn't know it," shares the DJ and producer. "That day at the (ayahuasca) ceremony I got it back. It was powerful; powerful to be fearless, powerful to do these things you are really scared of. As long as you know deep down it is what you need to do and you alone know you need to do it."
The experience has left an undeniable change in her life. "It was what changed everything for me, ayahuasca [led] me down a path of forgiveness and healing. I was doing two ceremonies a year for a few years, that was enough for me as you get a lot of information. Once you receive this information you have to change your life; you're given the healing and information and have to makes the changes." See her story below.
Sober Stories is of vital importance in a moment where the music industry and club culture has a moment of downtime to pivot and make different choices; more intentional decisions surrounding sobriety, recovery, mental and emotional health. As creators and artists, performers, producers and DJs, promoters, talent bookers and agents and managers, we can inform the future of ourselves, each other and our industry by changing how we navigate, talk about and support recovery. These conversations are an amazing beginning.

"I have been clean and sober since 2006 and seeking outside help in the form of therapy since around the same time. I was DJing prior to getting clean, but there is no way my career could have had any real success if I was still using," says Louisahhh. "Drugs and self-harming behaviours were too heavy to really get anywhere prior to my point of surrender." She knew something had to give. "It became very clear, very fast that whatever I put in front of my recovery I would lose, but if I really invested wholeheartedly into a clean and sober way of life, that I could have total freedom." More about her journey to recovery and clean living on April 12.
I'd been pretty hardcore for about 14 years. I was almost 21 when I really got into drugs with the rave scene in America which brought me to psychedelics, and all kinds of different trouble. [The] stint lasted around 14 years…
It's never too late to break a bad habit, Tommie Sunshine

"I raged pretty hard and that was when dance music wasn't really a thing here. It took America 20 years when the rest of the world was enjoying Chicago house and Detroit techno and all this music that we had created; finally, there was the realization here…," says Tommie Sunshine. When faced with the party scene, he had one of two choices, "I could either go down the rabbit hole and party myself literally to death or have a career in the music business. I saw it very, very clearly, it was like a fork in the road, which way do you want to go?" The industry vet thanks his resilience and passion for the game to be where he's at now. "I have a very strong fight inside of me for survival, and I'm very lucky for that because my addiction is pretty bad. I say is because I am 16 years sober in April. Sober yet still suffering from addiction; I feel it's something that you never really get rid of."
While Tommie's story isn't one full of daily benders, his relationship with drugs and alcohol was all or nothing. "It wasn't a daily thing, I wasn't that kind of partier but if I went out once a week, I'd be coming home 36 hours later, it wasn't consistent but when it hit, it was an avalanche." Episode below.
I got involved in the Sober Stories project for a couple of reasons. One, selfishly, is because I think its important to me to remind myself of the journey I've been on, why I am taking it, and how far I've come, the better to stay on the right course.
More importantly, it's because I know how helpful it is to see examples of people that make it all seem possible. I have a few people in my life who really sparked the idea in me that I could become sober, and those examples enabled me to take the first steps. I like to talk about my sobriety openly and frankly, so that it shows people that there is a path out of the kind of self-destructive lifestyle I used to indulge in and that you can thrive in a world that seems built to make that possibility difficult.
Santero shares his motivation behind contributing to Sober Stories
Courtesy of Alberto Romano
"I'd kinda gone through my entire life, well from my mid-teens through 39 totally used to life being a complete roller coaster. Often living in deep depressions, a couple of times getting close to suicide, and this sort of melted away at some point after I got sober in 2018," says Will Kirby aka Santero. Catch more of his story below.
In an industry where it's more normal to drink and do drugs than not to, I think it's important to show people that you can still have fun and enjoy [yourself] without using alcohol or substances. I stopped drinking for health reasons mainly, despite being a massive binge drinker and substance abuser in my hardcore raver days. Yes it took some adjusting, but I prefer it now and learnt to be able to have just as, if not more, fun, sober. It is possible.
Ceri dispels myths around nightlife and its issues with drugs and alcohol
Courtesy of Jeremy Rice
"If you can consume things in a positive way, to enhance the joy in your life, then that's fine. If you're using them as an escape from reality, then it's time to get real with yourself and face the things you need to that are making you reach for the escape in the first place," shares Ceri in her Sober Stories episode. Catch the full discussion below.
Opening up to Rose about all of this was scary as sh*t, but the whole sobriety experience has been like that in a way. When you look at this huge issue of 'giving everything up' from the wrong side of the hill, it's one of the most daunting things you could possibly do. I had no idea what my life would be like sober. I didn't know if I'd enjoy it or if I could do it. I just knew I had to make some serious changes otherwise I was going nowhere.
Kat Bailey on her commitment to sober living
"To be frank, I've got sh*t to do. I didn't want to get in my own way any longer. I hope anyone out there who's listening and thinking about sobriety can take some inspiration and some courage. It does take guts to make such a major change but I can one million percent promise you, it's so much better on the other side." Learn more about Mother Lode PR founder's journey to sobriety below.
About Rose Romain
A respected member of the MITC (Music Industry Therapists and Coaches Collective), Rose is on a mission to remove the stigma that surrounds the sober lifestyle choice within the music industry and beyond. With the ever-growing curiosity in the switch to sobriety, especially amongst Generation Z, Rose aims to empower the population to rise against the fragile "lad and ladette" culture that has been sold to society for so many years.
Being strong doesn't look like holding your sh*t together so tight that you have to numb it out. Being strong looks like asking for help then letting the help in, that is the reality of true strength and courage.

Q: Why is my multisite installation not showing all the available sites? Please check out the image below, there are four sites listed on the right side but only three of them appear on the drop down menu on the left. The site that is missing is not the main website.

A: This is because you're only a member of 3 sites. As a super admin you have the ability to view the full site list via the network admin, but that doesn't mean you're a part of every site.
The admin bar menu only lists the sites you're a member of, not the full list, that's how it's intended to work. Otherwise users would see sites listed that they have no access to.
For example, on my own site, there's a subsite I created for a friend. It does not appear in the admin bar menu either. If I look at the users page, I am not listed.
The only reason I have access is because I am a super admin. As a result it's listed in the network admin, and I can access the site as if I were an administrator.
Despite my super admin access, until I add myself to the site I won't have a role on it, and it won't show in the admin menu.


Smile Center Silicon Valley - Cosmetic Dentists San Jose: What are Some Teeth Straightening Options for Adults?
What are Some Teeth Straightening Options for Adults?
There are different kinds of braces that dentists use to correct imperfections. These include, metal and lingual braces. Lingual braces are set on the insides of the teeth making them difficult to detect. Metal braces, on the other hand, are utilized on the lower and upper teeth. These brackets are corded together with the help of wires and fixed at the front.
This method can be used on children and adults alike. It is used to cure jawbone discrepancies and is performed under general anesthesia. Treatment begins with a surgical intervention. Later, braces are utilized to hold the teeth at the right place during the process of healing. It takes eighteen to twenty-four months for a complete course of therapy using orthodontic braces. The timeline for treatment differs from patient to patient. It is best to consult a qualified dental expert to evaluate what requires being executed.
Clear straightening tools comprise of moldings for teeth. These moldings work best for individuals who require help in getting their teeth aligned. The mold slowly shoves the teeth together and seal slight gaps or properly space out teeth that are crowded. This method does not work for badly misaligned or ingrown teeth. Patients need to consult their doctors to know if they are the right candidates for such a technique.
Invasalign aligners for adults are almost undetectable. They are very similar to whitening trays and have to be worn throughout the day except while eating. They make it very easy for the user to floss or brush. And because they are made up of smooth plastic, they do not irritate the mouth at all. They are also easy to clean.
Veneers are used to rectify minor dental flaws and do not involve braces. These shells are made out of composite or porcelain and are usually fitted on uneven or curved teeth. They are also useful in covering any kind of discoloration and are reasonable and durable. One can choose the color of the veneer to match the color of the teeth, making them less visible.
People who suffer from crowded, overlapped or unevenly spaced teeth can opt for cosmetic contouring. The process finishes quickly and is performed under general anesthesia. It entails removing slight quantity of the tooth structure to attain a pleasing appearance. Cracked or chipped sections are evened out and edges are shaped to change the way in which the patient's smile appears. Teeth alignment with the help of cosmetic contouring can certainly make the smile look more attractive and appealing.
Misaligned, crooked, or spaced teeth create a negative impact on the appearance and health of an individual. It also affects the person's confidence dramatically. In such situations, straightening the skewed or crooked projections is the best way available. With the development in dental technology, dentists can now choose from a variety of ways to provide that much needed make over. California, in particular, is known to offer the best cosmetic dentistry makeovers as the clinics boast of state of the art equipment and dental technology.

Q: Are expectation values for any hermitian operator, well defined in case of scattering states, or rather non-normalizable states? Consider I have the following commutator, $[H,O]$ where $O$ is some hermitian operator.
I know that if $$H|\psi\rangle=E|\psi\rangle$$
Where $|\psi\rangle$ represents the bound energy eigenkets, for example the bound states for the Hydrogen atom.
In this case, I know:
$$\langle\psi|[H,O]|\psi\rangle=0$$
However, consider now that I have scattering states, again considering the continuous energy eigenstates of the hydrogen atom. Does the above equation still hold true in this case ?
Are expectation values for any hermitian operator, well defined in case of scattering states, or rather non-normalizable states ?


Rotary International provides clubs with required guidelines for rules and administration of how the clubs are operated. Once every three years, every district in the Rotary world (currently 535 districts) sends a Past District Governor as a representative to a meeting in Chicago which discusses and approves changes in the documents which govern how Rotary operates for the ensuing three years.
During the 2016 session several key proposals were passed and integrated into the Rotary Standard Club Constitution which dictates a number of key parameters for membership qualifications, meeting frequency and makeup requirements.
Summary 2016 Report - Summary of 2016 changes to club meetings, membership, makeups and membership types as well as other significant changes to Rotary governance documents as reported by Council rep Dennis.
Essential Changes - Summary of 2016 updates as reported by Rotary International.
Membership Changes 2016 - Memo from RI summarizing changes to membership rules.
COL Report of Action - Detailed legislative actions including specific wording changes to Rotary International Constitution, RI Bylaws and Standard Club Constitution.
2016 Manual of Procedure - Complete MOP including the following 4 documents.
RI Constitution - Establishes the Rotary Organization, not generally of much attention by clubs.
RI Bylaws - Critical document which details much of the rules and regulations for the operation of Rotary Clubs. This is the key reference document to review to ensure that the club is in compliance with Rotary Bylaws.
Standard Club Constitution - Revised constitution document to take effect 1 July, 2016. Clubs must accept this constitution as written. This doc is in MS Word format allowing clubs to download and fill in the blanks.
Recommended Club Bylaws - Club bylaws recommended by RI. Clubs are free to alter these bylaws as long as changes do not contradict the Standard Club Constitution. This doc is in MS Word format allowing a club to download and add wording as necessary to update its bylaws to comply with the intent of Rotary.
If a club wishes to change its meeting frequency and/or conditions for makeups,as well as any new provisions of the RI Bylaws, it must change its bylaws. Any club wishing to make bylaws changes may contact Council on Legislation representative PDG Dennis Dinsmore for guidance.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN THE ADRENAL GLANDS OF PATIENTS WITH BENIGN NEOPLASMS DEPENDING ON THE BODY MASS INDEX

adrenal glands, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor, insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor
The purpose of the study – morphological analysis and analysis of insulin-like growth factor 1 and 2 receptor expression (rIGF-1 and rIGF-2, respectively) in samples of adrenal tissue removed during surgery in patients with benign neoplasms of adrenal glands, depending on body mass index (BMI).
Materials and methods. An analysis of the adrenal glands removed during surgery was carried out. The nosologies studied were focal nodular hyperplasia and benign neoplasms of adrenal glands. The material of 37 observations was divided into three groups: group 1 (comparison group) (n=9) – patients with BMI<25 kg/m2, group 2 (n=15) – patients with a BMI of 25-30 kg/m2 and group 3 (n=13) – patients with a BMI >30 kg/m2. Micropreparations were used for a general assessment of the state of tissues, microscopic examination, and morphometric examination of adrenal glands. The expression of IGF-1 and rIGF-2 in adrenal glands tissue was analyzed using primary monoclonal antibodies from DAKO (Denmark), TermoScientific (Germany), and Diagnostic BioSystems (USA).
Results and conclusions. Immunohistochemical analysis of adrenal gland tissue in patients with overweight and obesity revealed moderate (2++) and distinct (3+++) expression of rIGF-1 with weak expression in the group with normal body weight. The presence of a strong correlation between the severity of expression of rIGF-1 and BMI in groups of patients with overweight and obesity has been established. The expressiveness of the expression of IGF-1 has a clear unidirectional growth, which demonstrates the trend line. In patients with normal body weight, rIGF-2 expression was not observed. It has been established that with the growth of BMI, there is a tendency to reduce the expression of rIGF-2. Focal expression of rIGF-2 in adrenal glands was found only in obese patients. The presence of a strong correlation between the severity of IGF-1 expression in adrenal gland tissue and BMI tissue samples has been established, which may indicate the participation of IGF-1 in the pathogenesis of focal nodular hyperplasia and benign neoplasms of adrenal glands. The adult population of Ukraine with overweight and obese can be considered a risk group for the development of focal nodular hyperplasia and benign neoplasms of adrenal glands, which requires the development of appropriate screening programs.

Indian History & Culture
Bollywood appreciates folk artists: All girl band from Nagaland
By Debaprio D. Choudhury
New Delhi: Bollywood may be stereotypical and commercialized with its formula content but offers a "great platform" for folk artistes to display creativity on a large scale and gain popularity, feels an all-girl band from Nagaland – the Tetseo Sisters.
The band, which performs traditional folk music of Nagaland's Chakhesang tribe and along with folk fusion, consists of four Tetseo siblings – Azi, Mercy, Kuvelu and Alune – as its members.
Founded in 1994, the band is credited with being able to bring Naga folk music to a larger audience.
"We love a lot of things about Bollywood, while certain things make us cringe too. Indie music and folk have more recently found a place in Bollywood and that is good news," Mercy of the Delhi-based band was quoted by a media outlet.
"For all its commercialism and stereotypical formula treatment, Bollywood is a great platform for artistes to gain popularity and make it good financially. It also gives great opportunity for creativity on a large scale," she said and added that they get inspired by life.
The folk quartet said their songs were about daily life existence, beauty, nature, family, love, friendship, death, pain and happiness. They sing "Li" (folk songs) in Nagaland's Chokri dialect.
The band members, dressed up in their miniature versions of the traditional Chakhesang costumes, play instruments like Tati (one stringed instrument), Khro-khro (shakers), drums and Bamhum.
On their songs and music, Kuvelu said: "We sing some traditional (Naga) lyrics as well as some that we have written. 'O Rhosi', 'Apulio Lizo' (prayer song), 'Ohe!' and 'Hiyo! Hiyo!' are some of our well-appreciated songs. We also perform western contemporary music."
"Our songs celebrate life and certain virtues and values. They talk about identity and describe a beautiful way of life close to nature," added Kuvelu who is part of the quartet that has featured in many cultural events across India and abroad.
The band members said they were always open to varied experiences and opportunities to make new and different kinds of music.
The Tetseo Sisters said they were now on a mission to create awareness about the need for environment protection, gender equality and racial discrimination.
"We are not activists of any kind. But we want to highlight the need for environment protection, recycling, gender equality, racial discrimination and safety for women across the country," said Alune, a key member of the band that has jammed with folk musicians from India and abroad.
Asked about their future plan, Azi told a media outlet: "Our dream is to go on a worldwide tour. Slowly but surely, we are pretty close to getting there."
On the growing trend of all-girl bands in the northeast region, she said: "…it is probably because of the love of music inherent in people of the hills and the more socially egalitarian tribal culture that lets girls be more individualistic and free to pursue their interests."
"However, there are many famous female vocals fronting many top bands from the rest of the country; so it's not like there is a dearth of female musical talent around the country barring the northeast states. To us, it doesn't really matter if a group is all male or female so long as they make great music," she said.
Asked whether the band faced any problem in connecting with audiences in other parts of India, Mercy said good music does not need a language.
"We have been playing in Delhi for a while. Yes, we sing in a dialect spoken by very few people and that's the beauty of it. Some things can't be translated but thankfully with music, you just need to hit the right notes for the melody to capture your listener's soul and do its job.
"We have had a variety of audiences and they have never faced any problems getting the intent of the songs, and we also try to share a gist of each song that we sing. Good music does not need a language. It speaks to the soul," said Alune as the band's popularity continues to grow in other parts of India.

Hasta is a Latin word meaning spear. Hastae were carried by early Roman Legionaries, in particular they were carried by and gave their name to those Roman soldiers known as Hastati. However, during Republican times, the hastati were re-armed with pila and gladii and the hasta was only retained by the triarii.
As opposed to the pilum, verutum or lancea, the hasta was not thrown but used for thrusting.

3 Post-Roman era
A hasta was about six and one-half feet (2 m) in length with a shaft generally made from ash, while the head was of iron.
Image from Nordisk familjebok
The Hasta pura or Arrow without a Head was a silver spear without the iron head used in combat. From Tacitus and other Roman writers, we know that a hasta pura was given as a decoration. Such decorations were bestowed upon soldiers by Roman generals, more especially for saving the life of a fellow-citizen:
In this engagement Rufus Helvius, a common soldier, won the honour of saving a citizen's life, and was rewarded by Apronius with a torc and a spear. To these the emperor added the civic crown, complaining, but without anger, that Apronius had not used his right as proconsul to bestow this further distinction.[1]
This gift was also given to the Primus Pilus when he had completed his period of service. Also, such a gift is sometimes recorded in funereal inscriptions.
A hasta was also used as a sign that would be conventionally understood in Roman culture as announcing an auction. Hence, an auction was called hasta and an auction-room a hastarium.
The Latin word hasta passed in modified form and/or meaning into several Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian) and also into Albanian (heshtë, "spear").

Q: Reverse forecasting in time series we have a given time series includes a specific type of data for example  from year 1980 to 2016. Also we know that we should achieve to a predefined goal(a fixed value) in year 2025. But we don't know how to reach it.
In other words We have a time series $T = \left\{T_1,\ldots, T_n\right\}$ from time $1$ to time $n$ and we want to reach a time series $T'=\left\{T_{n+k+1},\ldots, T_{n+k+m}\right\}$ from time $n+k+1$ to $t+k+m$. But we do not have the time series between the time $n+1$ to $n+k$: $T"=\left\{T_{n+1},\ldots,T_{n+k}\right\}$. What's the solution for this problem? what algorithms can I use? what's the keywords for searching about them?

A: You can use several approaches to do that.
As I understood you want to perform Ex Ante forecasts and one of the many possibilities is to use restricted sample period T = {T1,..., Tn} to estimate the model. The model is then forecasted out of sample over the period Tn+1... Tn+k...
The simple example would use AR(1) model to illustrate the main idea of this approach:
Consider a sample of {y1,y2....yt} from the AR(1) model
such that:
yt= δ0 + δ1yt-1+ ut
We can obtain ex ante forecasts of yt+1,  yt+h as follows:
1. Estimation: Using your sample {y1....yn} estimate δ0,δ1 and get fitted values δ0(hat) and δ1(hat)
2. Forecasting yt+1: using yt and fitted values  (δ0(hat) and δ1(hat)) obtain
yt+1(hat)=δ0(hat) + δ1(hat)yt
3. Forecasting yt+h: We can recursively obtain yt+h(hat) = δ0(hat) + δ1(hat)yt+h-1(hat) using yt+h-1(hat) and (δ0(hat)  δ1(hat))
Try to google predictive regression for time series, regression model forecasts, you may find many creative techniques that the researchers come up with

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn
Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a "bedroom community" and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood.
Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue.
At one point known as "Brooklyn's Little Harlem," the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.


Last week was my first at MakersAcademy, an intensive 12 week course of web development. Monday morning began first with a disclaimer of just how tough the course would be. That our happiness will be affected and even that about 7 weeks in we are likely to be more emotional. Unexpected so lets see. The other oft repeated point was to at any and every point ask questions. Our cohort seams to have particularly taken this second piece of advice to heart. Although this is our first week nearly everyday we have ended up discussing some obscure feature of a topic. Its this kind of stuff that I love and really helps me understand the nuts and bolts. It's the main reason I have enjoyed this first week so much.
Day one and day one only was set aside to introduce us to the Linux command line and all the functionality this entails. I had always know this was useful but so far had always avoided it. Very quickly I realised my mistake. Not only is it fast and efficient, many of the basic commands are surprisingly easy to understand. Although not all, grep being a pernicious one. By Friday I was using regularly and definitely in preference over messing around in file manager.
Direct teaching is centered around a single session of ~2hrs in the morning and as quickly as possible we are sent off to try things our self, asking for help as necessary. Not only are the teachers great at answering questions but can head many of them off before they occur by directing us to some awesome online resources. My favorite for the week is this little gem for understanding the command line at explainshell.com, also of interest is this book available online.
Day two and a brand new topic; version control with git. I knew a little about git having an account on github where I have recently been trying to work on a library to manipulate SVGs to include in Londonlayout. The mornings discussion clearly demonstrated that I had only scratched the surface of what can be achieved with version control. I learnt that a developers github account acts as their online identity; CV and portfolio; project backup and time machine. Anyone wanting to code seriously should look at this right now. Recommended link for today - git immersion.
Finally on Wednesday we started on Ruby, our first true programming language. This was the first time I had looked at any Ruby code apart from a tiny bit of preparation for the interview over on Codeacademy. Ruby is a very powerful language with a shed load of built in libraries and methods. My experience with Python means I have already been able to form an opinion in the Ruby vs Python debate. I will keep it to myself until I have had more time to compare them.
The rest of the week was focused on ruby, covering a huge swathe of the basics. From variables and methods to variable scope and control flow. At this point I was exceptionally glad that I had some foundation in the principles of programming. So far nothing too arduous and a good warm up to the rest of the course I hope.
Sometime on Thursday I was introduced to Codewars. This tapped in to my competitive side way too quickly. Whats better than learning by solving problems? Getting points for those solutions and, thanks to this page we are able to track are progress against the rest of the Makers.
So this is the picture of what the next 11 weeks for me look like. Check back to see how I am getting along. Check out Maker in the making for another view on the course.


The appellant filed an application under the Right to Information (RTI) Act with the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (DMC) seeking information in respect of the attendance schedule of Safai karamcharis of the South DMC. The Public Information Officer (PIO) did not provide any information even after the directions of the First Appellate Authority (FAA).
The Central Information Commission (CIC) observed that the matter raised by the appellant has larger public interest which pertains to maintenance of cleanliness and hygiene in the residential area within the Najafgarh Zone. The CIC directed the PIO to provide the complete Safai schedule along with the name of the Safai Karamchari in respect of the said area for every month / fortnight for the past six months; the copy of attendance register; time logged in by the Safai Karamcharis for the past three months and complete list of Safai Karamcharis as maintained by the public authority. The Commission recommended the Deputy Commissioner of South DMC to examine the possibility of setting up citizens committee of 3/4 members to monitor the implementation of the cleaning schedule and report the same to the control room of the South DMC in case some lacunae are observed.
