KC Aryan Aryan says his father, the late painter KC Aryan, was the first to preserve and promote these unknown paintings from Jodhpur. He says, "Nobody knew of their existence," he says.
Rama Darbar, an early 20th-century painting from Mysore.
In a rare and interesting portrayal of Hanuman, the allegory-filled central character in the Ramayana, the empty spaces within his silhouette outlined in black ink can be spotted bearing inscriptions in Arabic and Gujarati. The artwork from the 17th century, has its origins in either UP or Gujarat. The work lends clues on how its painter was a Muslim tantric worshipper of Hanuman. Many similar interesting facets of Hanuman and his varied depictions across the country find their way into the exhibition "Hanuman: The Divine Simian", which is currently on display at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA).
"The reason for doing this exhibition is that nobody knows about these works," says BN Aryan, who has curated the show, which comprises 300 paintings, sculptures and masks centered around Hanuman. Bearing the brunt of time with its frayed edges and black spots, the tantric paintings of Hanuman, commonly known as the patakas in Jodhpur, show Hanuman with 11 hands and stepping onto a demon, reminiscent of the popular depiction of goddess Kali.
Another offbeat pataka painting shows the Navamukhi Hanuman, a nine-headed Hanuman, and has mantras in Devanagari beside it.
Aryan points out how his father, the late painter KC Aryan, was the first to preserve and promote these unknown paintings from Jodhpur. He says, "Nobody knew of their existence. These large-size paintings were done by pujaris from Jodhpur, and not by painters in a conventional manner. They are so vibrant and have now become extinct.
A 19th century miniature painting of Panchmukhi Hanuman from Kangra in Himachal Pradesh displays a moustached simian face with four heads placed around his scalp. A papier-mache mask of Hanuman dating back to the 20h century and a wooden variant from the 17th century also make appearances. Among the sculptures is a bronze icon of Hanuman from Odisha, seen carrying a mountain of the medicinal herb, sanjeevani buti, and a Hanuman figure placed on top of the handle of a ritual bell from Karnataka.
BN Aryan reveals how his father was an atheist before he turned into a great Hanuman devotee in 1954, after his daughter was cured when he offered his prayers t a temple in old Delhi. "He had a dream in the late '60s of the god asking him to do a book for him. He set on a journey to collect artworks centered around Hanuman soon after," he says.

CHITTAGONG, April 6, 2017 - The Islamic spiritual hub of Maizbhandar Darbar has called for revival of Sufi saints campaign to instill into people's mind the lessons of love to negate the militancy in the name of religion.
The call came as the centre on the outskirts of the port city wrapped up a three-day programme on April 5 to mark the demise of leading spiritual saint of the past century Syed Golamur Rahman Maizbhandari.
"The deviation from the real Islamic path shown by spiritual figures like him (Syed Golamur Rahman) is the main reason of the spread of militancy in the current age," incumbent leader of the Maizbhandar Darbar Syed Saifuddin Ahmed told the concluding prayers of the programme.
The essence of the teachings of Syed Golamur Rahman and fellow Sufi saints was "universal love, harmony and humanity" and revival of their campaigns only could dose the blaze of militancy.
He said vested quarters were subtly encouraging militancy for their narrow interests at the cost of Muslim blood in different parts of the world. The three-day congregation was featured by milad mahfils, zikrs, spiritual musical soirees and the concluding prayer.
A descendant of Great Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Syed Ahmedullah established the Maizbhandar Sufi order as a spiritual hub in early 19th century.
The order took a new look in terms of spiritual pursuit during the time of his nephew, Syed Golamur Rahman, also known as Baba Bhandari in the last century.
His grand successor Syed Moinuddin appeared as the torch bearer of the order reshaping it to address the spiritual needs of contemporary age.


Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam did not use stunt doubles.
"There are a lot of people who try for 'artful' that couldn't pull of the chiaroscuro of [this] scene, which puts more or less everyone who's ever cited Jacques Tourneur as an influence to shame."
You don't see many choreographed fights between pre-teens.
What could have been: LL Cool J was originally cast as the man they're fighting over.
Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to use "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" but Elton John refused to license it.
Indiana Jones and the Cirque du Soleil.
Stick around for the basketball rim fatality.
Haha, the new RSS icon rules.

Quell is a long poem about friendship, holding on and near death as a private experience, the bond between the woman who clings to life and the woman keeping her alive. I read the chapbook aloud to my husband and we were both moved to tears.
This was actually the first poetry collection I ever read outside of a syllabus. I devoured it the way I typically read novels (I am, regretfully, a fiction-lover at heart). Peters' poems are dark, visceral and haunting. They transport the reader to snapshots of life that hold a strange, mythic quality while being utterly human. If you love books like Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neill, this one is for you.
The caterpillar actually dies/Becoming the whatever," excerpt from 2018's Griffin Poetry finalist, Aisha Sasha John's I have to live. John writes this manifesto with profound unflinching honesty exploring what it means to live. Her work is hard to put down and you won't want to.
Five months this book has been in the world. Five months within reach. Five months and it has yet to find rest on a bookshelf. Five months and I'm not ready to stop reading these works of various mourning. Five months more and I'll be re-reading these coiling requiems still.
Manivannan at once elevates the commonplace to myth and folklore, while humanizing the mythological. Her language is rife with lyricism, and images that both startle and comfort. Even as her words run electric with desire and longing, not unlike all of her writing, there is a deep comfort in them.
A brilliant, multilayered hybrid, Robert Seydel's poetic sensibilities infuse the text and artwork that make up the kaleidoscope of identity and creative process that is Book of Ruth. This is the nuanced inner world of Ruth Greisman, Brooklyn bank worker, artist, lover of Joseph Cornell, and dancer between language and ephemeral images.
I love the Beckettian meditations on walking in Montréal and the scavengings from some of the less frequented books of the Hebrew scriptures, which contrast with the casual and personal tone of the poet's voice.
In river woman, Katherena Vermette's clean, clear lyrics flow like currents down the page. Charged with desire and power, the river nourishes the languages and bodies of those who have lived alongside her, always. The river is enduring, flowing through history, and through colonization—wearing away at its monuments.
I found Stag's Leap when it came out in 2012. The poems are about Olds' divorce, and I'd just split with my partner of eight years. It was the first time I'd come to poetry in such a personal way. As Olds writes, small, fine things like scrubbed stains or the skin between her husband's breasts as he gets in the shower—or memories, or dreams, or fanciful thoughts—come alive with sacredness. They are part of nature: cosmic, fragile, trivial, wondrous. This book freed me from that bad habit of using poetry to get to a realm of abstract ideas. What a relief! For more on how to read poetry for pleasure, I highly recommend Adam Sol's How A Poem Moves: A Field Guide for Readers of Poetry (ECW Press).

Q: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'dispatch' of undefined I am using React Redux. Getting error - Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'dispatch' of undefined
Below is what console shows

I know I am really close because it worked briefly and I added some code that messed it up. I was seeing the payload for GET_RESULTS but now I do not because of this error.
This is what I call when submit button on search form is clicked. I get data from the API and that part works fine.
.....
import { store } from '../../../store/store'
import { getSearchResults } from '../../../actions/searchresults'
....
...
   handleSubmit(event) {
    event.preventDefault()
    get(`apiURLHere`, { maxContentLength: 400 })
    .then((data) => store.dispatch(getSearchResults(data)))
  }

Here is my action -
export const getSearchResults = username => {
  return {
    type: 'GET_RESULTS',
    payload: username,
  }
}

A: In  search-advanced.js file,  you should import connect instead of importing store,  then connect your component and dispatch would be in props of component:
import { store } from '../../../store/store' // remove this line
import {connect}  from 'react-redux'

Change:
export default class SearchAdvanced extends Component

To
class SearchAdvanced extends Component

And instead of store.dispatch use:
this.props.dispatch(getSearchResults(searchResults))

And at the end of file add:
export default connect()(SearchAdvanced)

As a new vegan, travelling to a South Asian country was daunting. I knew I'd mess up my newfound veganism, but Sri Lanka surprised me.
It was over international waters when I tried bibikkan. The sweet, moist cake is a Sri Lankan holiday tradition (and it's most definitely not vegan). This was March, and it was part of an airplane meal, so it wasn't exactly authentic. But it was utterly delicious. It was also confirmation of my worst fears.
I was travelling to Sri Lanka for a story about the country's historic coffee industry. For five days, I'd travel through coffee farms near Kandy and Nuwara Eliya and roasters in Colombo. The trip would prove to be one of the most liberating experiences of my life. For multiple reasons.
I'd just turned vegan, after making my Veganuary pledge permanent. Like many new converts, it took me a while to get to grips with the lifestyle. And don't even get me started on the lack of vegan dessert options in British supermarkets.
I had a few slip-ups, which included not-Free From-eggs pecan pie tarts from Sainsbury's, and a not-dairy-free brioche bun hugging my staff burger at my cafe. But I was okay with that; I knew veganism wasn't going to be easy after having been vegetarian for 20 years of my life in a dairy-heavy culture. I also knew I could forgive myself for not being a 'perfect vegan' (I now know there is no such thing).
But travelling to a South Asian country with no personal contacts was going to be my biggest challenge yet. Here was a nation famous for its sour fish curry and Lamprais. How then could I spend a week in Sri Lanka without violating the rules of my diet? My ignorant international brain would soon realise how.
When I had the bibikkan, I'd already given up. Even before I entered Sri Lanka, I'd told myself that I wouldn't be able to stay faithfully vegan there and I'd just eat whatever vegetarian food I could get. I don't regret it — the combination of coconut and jaggery was delectable, and I'm definitely veganising the dessert someday. But it just played to that unfounded apprehension that sticking to veganism would be impossible in Sri Lanka.
I was so violently wrong.
I was staying at an Airbnb with a Sri Lankan family at Kandy, my first stop. The mother of the family knocked out the most generous breakfast spread for one: Sri Lanka's trademark mini bananas, bread and jam, apples, custard biscuits, and my first revelation of the trip, pol sambol.
It's the simplest dish: shredded coconut mixed with red onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and roasted red chilli powder (which was a whole other discovery) atop some toasted bread. Traditionally, there's fish in the dish, but the hosts knew I was vegan, so they adjusted it. And I don't know why I'd never heard of this, but I think everyone needs a little pol sambol in their lives.
I was delighted. Apart from the biscuits, everything was vegan, and my trip was off to a great start. My schedule was hectic enough that I had to skip lunch, instead munching on a couple of those bananas from breakfast. But I found myself in the Kandy city centre near dinnertime. I saw a South Indian restaurant, and it was the first time I realised that dosa is vegan.
I grew up in India and I never clocked that. Of course it was vegan; it's a rice and lentil crepe with some potatoes inside. I made sure to request the dosa not be cooked in ghee, and all was good. It doesn't get much better than a masala dosa with some freshly squeezed mousambi (sweet lime) juice.
The next day, I was off to Nuwara Eliya. It's a valley full of tea plantations, and I was visiting one of the only coffee estates. The drive up there remains one of the most beautiful sights I have seen in real life, and that was before I saw the brunch spread my interviewees had laid out.
After spending an hour chatting about colonial history and the modern coffee industry, I was escorted to a room with a dining table covered by what I can only describe as the best brunch of my life. There was, of course, pol sambol — a lot of it. Accompanying it were paranthas, fresh fruit juice and my second revelation of the trip: jackfruit.
I'd already seen loads of jackfruits throughout the long drives to farms in my two days there. Massive green orbs just lying around trees — the place was full of them. This dish was a traditional young green jackfruit curry, and it made me regret that I'd never appreciated this ingredient before.
In the West, we're used to consuming it straight from cans, but fresh jackfruit is a marvel. The texture is dense, fibrous, soft and chewy, all at the same time, with a delicately sweet flavour lending itself to some of the finest spices in the world. Eating that feast 1700m above sea level with incredible company and nothing but greenery around was truly magical.
Read our story on how jackfruit is a popular traditional ingredient in South Asian cooking.
I was travelling to Colombo that evening, and arrived late at night. I made do with some vegan instant ramen I'd carried from London (which I'd originally brought from India). This was another Airbnb, albeit much larger. I woke up to yet another breakfast spread, and yet more pol sambol (this one was the spiciest version yet). There were some fruits (yes, there were bananas), a tomato chutney, and my third revelation, kiribath.
It's essentially a Sri Lankan rice cake, and automatically vegan. The rice is first cooked in water, and then in coconut milk. When the coconut milk has been fully absorbed by the rice, it's set to cool. The resulting rice cake is soft and fluffy, with hints of natural sweetness from the coconut. It paired so well with the rest of condiments on the table.
That afternoon, I met a professor from the University of Colombo, to talk about Sri Lanka's ecology and soil. Very kindly, she offered to take me out for lunch to a vegetarian restaurant called Ranbath. It was a pick-and-mix eatery, with clay pots full of traditional dishes.
We ordered the lunch plate, with some white and red rice, and all the curries in the world. There was jackfruit, mango, aubergine, lentils, banana blossom, and a round cutlet — all served on a lotus leaf. Call this my fifth revelation.
That night, I ordered a vegan burger from one of Colombo's only vegan restaurants and watched a little Friends. And the next day — my last — my busy schedule meant surviving on leftovers and lots of coffee.
On my way back to London, I was left in awe of Ceylon cuisine. Sri Lanka's food is traditionally vegan. The culinary worlds of South India and Sri Lanka are consistently overlapping and similar: whole foods are a big feature; local, tropical produce is utilised through expert ancient techniques; and dishes aren't heavy on dairy, instead relying more on coconut milk.
I'm approaching a year of being vegan now. My experience in Sri Lanka was surreal, and it showed me how veganism is deeply entrenched in many cultures; it's just that no one ever put that label over it. Perfect veganism is a damaging fantasy, and you can't live up to it. When a coffee farmer in a tiny village in Sri Lanka offers you a cream-filled biscuit as a sign of generosity, you don't say no.
But if you dig deep, you'll find plant-based food everywhere, in some form. Veganism isn't a concept in countries like Sri Lanka, but that doesn't mean the food can't be vegan. Falling in love with the island's cuisine also helped me get over the paranoia of not slipping up. That's what I took away from the trip. That, and some roasted red chilli powder.
It's about time I make some pol sambol.

Facebook Libra Project In Trouble as Major Partners Leave
Updated On Oct 14, 2019 by Cameron Bishop
The Libra Project from Facebook has faced more than its fair share of challenges from the moment it was announced.
When Facebook announced that it had plans to launch its own cryptocurrency, major governments from around the world expressed their concern and asked Facebook to be more transparent about Libra.
The last few months has been difficult for Libra as it has had to deal with one challenge after another. Most recently, PayPal which was one of its major payment partners decided to leave the project without specifying a precise reason. Some of Libra's major partners have followed in the footsteps of PayPal.
Some of the top partners including eBay, Stripe, Visa, and MasterCard have all confirmed that they would be leaving the Libra Project. This is a big blow for Facebook and Libra since there were only 28 founding members of the Libra Project. With five members gone, it signifies the elimination of nearly one-fifth of the membership. It does not help that their departures were right before the Libra Association was slated to meet to finalise its charter agreement.
All of the partners who have now abandoned the project are payment providers which is big blow for both Libra and Facebook. While these major companies have stopped supporting Libra, they have expressed their support for the ideas behind Libra which is essentially a decentralized currency and faster payments around the world. However, they claim that supporting Libra would not be in their best interests at this point in time.
In a statement, Visa said,
We will continue to evaluate and our ultimate decision will be determined by a number of factors, including the Libra Association's ability to fully satisfy all requisite regulatory expectations. Visa's continued interest in Libra stems from our belief that well-regulated blockchain-based networks could extend the value of secure digital payments to a greater number of people and places, particularly in emerging and developing markets.
Regulatory guidelines seem to be the sticking point here as Mark Zuckerberg is supposed to be testifying to the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services on October 24.
Libra Credibility At Stake
The biggest concern for Libra as of now is that more supporters might also start dropping out. This will not help the cryptocurrency as Libra brought top companies on board and wanted to use their market reputation to enhance the cryptocurrency.
With these major companies backing out, the opposition is happening as the market could lose faith in Libra even before it gets launched.

Reader Question: "Winnowing" – and NASCAR?
Martin asks: Given the "winnowing" of makes and models of cars, my prayers go out to NASCAR and Indycar. Thoughts?
My reply: Stock Car racing hasn't been stock for a long time. There is a Camry (sort-of looking) body running races, but it has as much in common with a stock (production car) Camry that you or I could buy as I have in common with Superman.
The race Camry has a V8 engine and is rear-wheel-drive, two things no Camry has. The other cars are just as guilty of marketing fraud. The Fords and Chevys are similarly vaguely-resembling production car bodies, sort of, if you look really hard, covering up a tube frame chassis that has zilch in common with the unibody production cars and with a V8 that doesn't share a gasket with the production engines used in the cars they're pretending to be.
It's really brand racing more than anything else. And not even that, really, since whatever wins is nothing you can buy.
Back when it was stock car racing, guys like Richard Petty actually did drive modified production cars – with modified but still factory V8s, like the ones you could buy. That connected you – the spectator (and buyer) to the race, on a personal level. There was even a saying: Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.
Today, it's a slick PR juggernaut as much as racing and the racing is – in my opinion – much less interesting because it's so homogenized and corporatized.
The old NASCAR drivers were outlaws, literally, moonshiners! They owned fast cars so they could outrun the "heroes" of the day. Since they had fast cars, they couldn't help but race them on their days off.
When NASCAR went from the era of Junior Johnson to Jimmy Johnson, I was done.

SEC Charges Index Manager and Friend With Insider Trading
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Yinghang "James" Yang, a senior index manager at a globally recognized index provider, and his friend Yuanbiao Chen, a manager at a sushi restaurant, with perpetrating an insider-trading scheme that generated more than $900,000 in illegal profits.
The SEC's complaint alleges that between June and October of 2019, Yang and Chen repeatedly purchased call or put options of publicly traded companies hours before public announcements that those companies would be added to or removed from a popular stock market index that Yang helped his employer manage.
When the options increased in value after the announcements, Yang and Chen allegedly liquidated their options positions for a substantial profit. As alleged in the complaint, the defendants conducted all of the illegal trading in Chen's brokerage account, which allowed Yang to conceal his trading from his employer.
The complaint alleges, for example, that a number of purchase orders were entered in Chen's brokerage account immediately following logins from IP addresses assigned to Yang's home address.
"Financial professionals and other employees entrusted with confidential, market-moving information are prohibited from using that information for personal gain," said Richard R. Best, director of the SEC's New York Regional Office. "As alleged in our complaint, Yang abused that trust when he used the information to enrich himself and Chen. Their attempts to disguise the unlawful trades by using Chen's account did not prevent the SEC from uncovering their scheme."
The SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, charges Yang and Chen with violating the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and seeks permanent injunctions and civil monetary penalties.
In a parallel action, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York today announced criminal charges against Yang.
The SEC's investigation has been conducted by Tian Wen, Melissa Coppola, and Sheldon Pollock of the New York Regional Office, and the litigation will be led by Alexander Vasilescu and Ms. Wen. The case is being supervised by Sanjay Wadhwa. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

DR. MARGARET CHAN
Most Influential Women
September, 18 2015
THE GIFTED MIND
When the H5N1 virus made a dramatic appearance in Hong Kong in 1997 in humans, Dr. Margaret Chan was at the helm of the affair. Such a leap by a viral strain was never seen before. The bird flu outbreak took several lives and seemed difficult to contain. But the manner in which Dr. Chan handled the whole event shot her into the limelight, and in due course of time she was appointed as the Director General of the World Health Organization. The lady had exhibited commendable intellect and diligence while battling against world's worst epidemic that was capable of wiping out the human race from the face of the earth.
Born in Hong Kong in 1947, Dr. Chan never intended to study medicine. She wanted to be a teacher and spent a year teaching English, Geography and Mathematics. But fate had planned it so that she not only ended up studying medicine but also went on to become one of the best health professionals till date. In the past, she has introduced new initiatives to improve communicable disease surveillance and response, enhance training for public health professionals, and establish better local and international collaborations.
With an experience that extends beyond three decades, Dr. Chan has successfully altered the landscape of medical care through her initiatives.

Pozzo del Diavolo (Devil's Well)

Was this cave created by Hercules's wrath, the devil, or volcanic activity?

Pozzo del Diavolo, or Devil's Well, is the only known volcanic cave in Italy's Lazio region. It is located above Vico Lake in the beautiful beech forest of Monte Venere. (The forest is part of the UNESCO's Primeval Beech Forests of Europe transnational network of protected sites.) At 507 meters (1,663 feet) above sea level, Lake Vico is the highest volcanic lake in Italy and the beech forest of Monte Venere is among the lowest in the country (most beech forests are located above 900 meters (2,900 feet).
Pozzo del Diavolo is about 10 meters (32 feet) deep and 40 meters (130 feet) long. The entrance is about five meters (16 feet) wide. The sloping floor of the cave is littered with volcanic rocks that presumably collapsed from the entrance and from the ceiling. The lake filled up a caldera that formed almost 140,000 years ago, after intense volcanic activity shaped the landscape of the Cimini Mountains. Monte Venere was originally an island, before the Etruscans drained the lake to create new agricultural land.
Remains of pottery from the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. were found inside the cave and are currently exhibited at the local museums in Rome (Pigorini) and Valentano.
According to a very ancient legend, the cave is the result of Hercules' fury: The legendary hero smashed his club in the earth, forming the cave, from which water sprang and formed the Lake of Vico. This scene is represented in a fresco by Federico Zuccari in nearby Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola with Alessandro Farnese depicting himself as a new fresco for his work on the local aqueduct.
It is unclear, however, what the devil has to do with all this; like many other places in Italy, it seems like anything that could not be explained would be simply the devil's work!
A 40-minute trail leads from the picnic area near Fontana Canale to the entrance of the cave.

Jessie Cooper has been a volleyball player, coach, and writer since 1999. She played at the collegiate and professional levels, and represented the US internationally.
There's an old adage that says, "You can't teach height." While volleyball is not a sport that's exclusively reserved for those with exceptionally long inseams, it does seem to help to be on the taller end of the spectrum. So who are the biggest of the big dawgs? Below is a bit more about the tallest men and women in the sport.
1. Russian pro Dmitriy Muserskiy stands a towering 7'2" (or 218cm), leading the men's side. Muserskiy has been playing the sport since the age of eight, so with twenty year experience under his belt he's considered the top volleyball player in the world at present. Since winning the 2012 Olympics, Muserskiy led Russia to win the 2013 European Championship, 2013 World League and a silver medal at the 2013 World Grand Champions Cup. Professionally, he and his Russian club team, Belgorod, have won the 2013/2014 CEV Champions League and most recently the 2014 Club World Champs. Muserskiy is Ukrainian by birth, but obtained his Russian citizenship in 2006. Muserskiy is also a cooking enthusiast and enjoys spending time in the kitchen. He is married to Inna Muserskaya and in early 2014 they welcomed a son.
2. A veteran of the word tour, Aleksey Valerevich Kazakov is another extremely tall Russian volleyball player. Measuring a smidge shorter than his national teammate Muserskiy, Valerevich measures 7'1" (217cm). At 39 years old, he's been competing on the world stage for almost 20 years. His first Olympics were the 1996 summer games in Atlanta and since then he's won one silver medal at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney and a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He was born in Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. His favorite genres of books are detective novels and he's an avid fan of the NBA.
3. Coming in third place on the men's side is opposite hitter Kay van Dijk at 7' (215cm). Van Dijk started playing the game at 5 years old and hasn't stopped since. He's also built up quite an impressive resume, which includes the Dutch men's national team from 2003 - 2013, a participant of the Olympic Games Athens 2004, a silver medalist of the European League 2008, Belgium Champion (2008), Slovenian Champion (2011).
T-1. At 202 cm, Russians pro Yekaterina Gamova has been in the game the longest. Coming from a relatively tall lineage of women, Gamova's mother was 5'8" and aunt (from whom she learned the game of volleyball) was 5'10". Originally hailing from Chelyabinsk, Russia , she was a member of the national team that won the gold medals at the 2006 and 2010 FIVB Women's World Championships , and the silver medal in both the Athens 2004 and Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Gamova wear a size 16 shoe and cites collecting gift magnets as one of her favorite hobbies. In 2012 she married cinematographer Mikhail Mukasey.
T-1. Also measuring in at 6'8" (202cm), Yulia Merkulova is a teammate of Gamova and another Russian volleyball player. She currently is a member of the Russian National team, as well as playing with club at Dinamo Krasnodar. Expect to see her at the Summer Games in Rio 2016. Merulova tends to snack on berries and prefers watching comedies.
T-1. Italian middle blocker Floriana Bertone is also part of the 6'8 club. At 23 years old, she's already an incredibly accomplished volleyball player taking gold at the 2010 Junior European Championship, 2011 Junior World Championships and the 2013 Mediterranean Games. She's played for a number of elite Italian club teams, most notably Volleyball Casalmaggiore, Club Italy, Riviera S. Casciano and LJ Volley of Modena .
T-1. The youngest player on this list is 22 year old Italian Valentina Diouf. A native of Milan, Diouf plays opposite on the Italian National team, as well as with the club Unendo Yamamay Busto Arsizio. She's won gold medal at the Mediterranean Games in 2013, as well as competed with her national team at the 2014 World Championship. Diouf cites her favorite book as "il gioco dell'angelo" (The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón).

Rome - The goal is to be able to introduce to every commuter road conditions before you even get in your car, avoid long hours in line during peak hours and traffic congestion due to accidents or highway for work in progress, suggesting an alternative route. This is the premise behind the new project announced by IBM Research, the Department of Transportation of California and the California Center for Innovative Transportation (CCIT), for the development of a research program that will allow drivers to quickly access personalized travel recommendations to help them avoid congestion, saving time and fuel.
The idea is that, even with advances in GPS navigation, traffic alerts in real time and the various mappings are often unreliable and updates on how to avoid congestion inform drivers when they are already stuck in traffic, so too late to to change course. This inability to avoid traffic congestion for commuters, especially in Silicon Valley, where the problem is most acute, has prompted the search for IBM to manage and optimize without problems, especially in the future, the traffic that comes from the ever-increasing population growth and the relative urbanization.
The forecasting system designed by IBM aims to provide prediction information about what happens on city streets, analyze and predict the traffic situation due to accidents or other abnormalities, and ultimately communicate that information to the people before they even onto the road, suggesting, in case of some roadblock, the alternative routes.
The new system will use the data collected from existing sensors in roads, toll booths, bridges and intersections, and that will then be combined with the GPS data of the users of mobile phones that will enable commuters to monitor the habits and preferences of the routes of the latter. In addition, the system will use a model that can predict what actually is happening on the streets and who will notify the user through a message on the phone or email. Such notices will enable drivers to plan alternative travel routes, improving the safety of travelers and helping transport authorities to anticipate and reduce traffic even before congestion occurs through improved traffic signal timing and planning of the alternative route. But these reports will only come if something is wrong. This is because, said the director of services research at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, "if people are constantly studded with warnings not useful will soon stop using the service." Users will also be able to log on to a website to see their prediction and forecasts for alternative routes.
Currently a group of people is involved in a test program and installed the application on their mobile devices. "The application - said Nusser - has no user interface and as such is not meant to be used by commuters while traveling. Rather, the mobile application is intended solely for the collection and supply of traffic data for subsequent analysis. " After all, he concluded Nusser, IBM does not want your users to "play with their mobile devices while they are driving." For now, the system is only in testing but Nusser said they plan to become a reality in the immediate future.


Shakti means something in Hinduism, Sanskrit, the history of ancient India, Marathi. If you want to know the exact meaning, history, etymology or English translation of this term then check out the descriptions on this page. Add your comment or reference to a book if you want to contribute to this summary article.
The Sanskrit terms Śakti and Śaktī can be transliterated into English as Sakti or Shakti, using the IAST transliteration scheme (?).
from this latter are produced in a similar manner (4) Jñānaśakti and (5) Kṛyāśakti.
Kṛyāśakti (also known as Nivṛttiśakti).
From the five Śaktis mentioned just now appear the five different Sadāśiva-tatvas.
Each one of these tatvas is dependent upon its immediate predecessor.
Śakti is the name applied to the spear. It consists of a metallic piece, either quadrangular or elliptical in shape, with a socket into which a long wooden handle is fixed.
and a destructive time aspect known as the Kālī ("power of time").
When Śakti, which is also the Vimarśa ("power to think"), unites with the Lord of sleep (Svapneśvarī ?), a state of agitation, or unrest (unmana) arises, from which projection of the universe springs forth.
When Śakti separates herself and remains aloof from him, a state of perfect quiescence or harmonization occurs (samana), in which the world dissolves.
Śakti (शक्ति) is a Sanskrit technical term for one of the attributes held in the hands of the deities in sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses.—Śakti is the name applied to the spear. It consists of a metallic piece, either quadrangular or elliptical in shape, with a socket into which a long wooden handle is fixed.
Śakti (शक्ति) or Śaktimudrā is the name of a mudrā described in the Īśvarasaṃhitā 36-38.—Accordingly, "the fingers, in the left hand, lying on their back and remaining separately and stretched out, are to be bent down, so that the thumb could be like a bridge from the edge, could face in the fingers clinging to the middle. This shall be formed to face the heart and it is śaktimudrā offering pleasure. Understand this in the case of Śrī and other beginning from the forefinger to the little finger".
Mūdra (eg., Śakti-mudrā) is so called as it gives joy to the tattvas in the form of karman for those who offer spotless worship, drive out the defects which move about within and without and sealing up of what is done.
Śakti (Energy) this is the potency or the ability to become the material cause of the universe as well as the efficient cause. This guṇa is also defined as the "accomplishing of the non accomplished" i.e. the ability to produce something, the cause of which can not be accounted for by empirical methods.
Śakti (शक्ति, "Spear"):—The word śakti meaning 'spear' is found in the Ṛgveda. Kauṭilya defines it as a weapon provided with edges like a ploughshare. In the Mahābhārata 'śakti' means a spear or a javelin particularly used as an adjunct to the bow by the warrior in the chariot. There it does not essentially belong to the knight's furnishings. The Vāyu-purāṇa associates śakti only with Kārtikeya.
(i) It was Śiva, who incarnated himself as the son of Vasiṣṭha.
2) Śakti (शक्ति).—The weapon of Subrahmaṇya is called Śakti, and it was made by Viśvakarman. Viśvakarman once grilled Sūrya (sun) on his machine and reduced his glow. The glow thus released by Viśvakarman fell on the earth and Viśvakarman made with that glow the cakra (disc) of Viṣṇu, the triśūla (trident) of Siva the Puṣpaka, aerial chariot of Kubera and the Śakti of Subrahmaṇya. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Part 3, Chapter 2).
3) Śakti (शक्ति).—The sound 'Ś' means welfare or prosperity and 'kti' prowess. Therefore Śakti means she, who is the embodiment of prosperity and prowess or she, who grants prosperity and prowess. The definition of 'Bhagavatī' is, she who combines in herself knowledge affluence, wealth, reputation, power and the female organ. Therefore the word 'Śakti' may be taken to mean Bhagavatī and Pārvatī, and what are termed as Bhagavatī, Śakti, Devī, Ambikā, Pārvatī etc. are the manifestations of Śakti, Śiva's spouse. This Śakti exists fractionally in all Devas. When, once upon a time the devāsura war broke out the Śaktis of Devas like Brahmā emerged to help Caṇḍikā. The vehicle, ornaments, weapon etc. of each Deva, his Devī also possessed. The Śaktis (Devīs) of the Devas appeared in the following manner. Brahmāṇī, wife of Brahmā, rode on the swan wearing beads around her neck and holding the water-vessel in her hands. She was followed by Vaiṣṇavī Viṣṇu's Śakti on Garuḍa wearing yellow clothes and with the conch, disc, lotus etc. in her hands. Śāṅkarī Śiva's Śakti rode on the ox with the crescent moon and serpents as ornaments and holding in her hands the Śūla. 'Kaumārī', Subrahmaṇya's Śakti rode on Airāvata with śūla in hands. The Śakti called 'Vārāhī in the form of a great boar rode carrying a corpse, Nārasiṃhī' Śakti took the form of narasiṃha (half man and half lion). Yāmyā, Yama's śakti, rode on buffalo holding in her hands a long stick. Śaktis called Kauberī and Vāruṇī took their respective forms and in this manner all the Śaktis came to the help of Devī. This sight pleased not only the Devas, but the mother of the universe also. Along with them incarnated on earth Śaṃkara, who gives 'śaṃ' (happiness) to the world and blessed Caṇḍikā on the battle-field (Devī Bhāgavata, 5th and 9th Skandhas).

1) Śaktī (शक्ती):—One of the nine Dūtī presided over by one of the nine bhaivaravas named Ananta (emanation of Ananta himself, who is the central presiding deity of Dūtīcakra), according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra and the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.
2) Śaktī (शक्ती):—One of the nine Dūtī presided over by one of the nine bhaivaravas named Mudreśa (emanation of Ananta, who is the central presiding deity of Dūtīcakra), according to the Kubjikāmata-tantra and the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā.
Śakti (शक्ति).—For the benefit of the world Śiva conceives a spontaneous idea, which results in the manifestation of śakti from his one-thousandth part. Then comes Parā-śakti, Ādi-śakti, Icchā-śakti and Kriyā-śakti, each succeeding from the 1/1000 part of the preceeding one. All these śaktis are niṣkala. This is Śivasṛṣṭi.
1) Śakti (शक्ति, "placation") refers to 'powerful placation' of one who is angry. Śakti represents one of the thirteen vimarśasandhi, according to the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 21. Vimarśasandhi refers to the "segments (sandhi) of the pause part (vimarśa)" and represents one of the five segments of the plot (itivṛtta or vastu) of a dramatic composition (nāṭaka).
2) Śakti (शक्ति, "placation") refers to a "spear", a weapon which should measure should measure eight tālas (unit of measurement), according to Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 23. In dramatic plays, weapons such as śakti should be made by experts using proper measurements and given to persons engaged in a fight, angry conflict or siege. It forms a component of āhāryābhinaya (extraneous representation).
Śakti (शक्ति).—One of the thirteen elements of the 'pause segment' (vimarśasandhi);—(Description:) Coming into conflict [with anyone] is called Strength (śakti).
Śakti (शक्ति) refers to "inborn intuitive intellectual power" according to Ācārya Rudraṭa.—He is of opinion that śakti, vyutpatti (an accomplishment in the knowledge of scriptures and literary works) and abhyāsa (constant practice) are the causal factors of poetry (kāvya). Mammaṭa, the author of Kāvyaprakāśa, has said that pratibhā which he terms as śakti is the kavitvabīja or the basic element of poetry.
Śakti (शक्ति, "power") refers to the third of nine aṃśa (part), according to the Mānasāra. Aṃśa is the alternative sixth of the āyādiṣaḍvarga, or "six principles" that constitute the "horoscope" of an architectural or iconographic object. Their application is intended to "verify" the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.
The particular aṃśa (eg., śakti) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference). Among the nine taskara, the ones named ṣaṇḍa and vipat are inauspicious, and should therefore be avoided.
Śakti (शक्ति).—According to the traditional Śākta-Tāntric viewpoint, Śakti is inherent in Śiva as the power of burning is in fire. The supposed five faces of Śiva–Īśāna, Tatpurusa, Sadyojāta, Vāmadēva and Aghora-symbolise the functioning of Śakti in the spheres of consciousness (cit), bliss (ānanda), will (icchā), knowledge (jñana), and action (kriyā) respectively.
Śakti is the important goddess of Tantra. She is responsible for creation, expansion and destruction of the universe. Puruṣa is of secondary importance, though the Śakti cannot accomplish the work of creation of the universe without Puruṣa. This is why in Śaktism, Śakti is the main deity and the Puruṣa a subordinate one.
Śakti (शक्ति).—Faculty of import or denotation which is possessed by the words permanently according to Kauṇḍa Bhaṭṭa.
The great commentator of Śāradā Tilaka, Rāghava Bhaṭṭa, says that like the Saṃkhya concept of appearance of realities from realities (Sadutapattivāda), Śakti which remains in the dormant stage in Parā-Saṃvit becomes manifest (Ucchunāvasthā). Śakti is without any cause. She is beginningless. Here Caitanyadhyasena means the eternal coexistence of Śiva and Śakti. The eternal flow of Śakti is there but they are flowing without any feeling. Thus, Nirguṇa Śiva does not mean Śiva without Guṇa (Śakti) but it means the Guṇātīta state of Śiva. This Śakti-Tattva issues from Śiva-Tattva. It is further said that from Śakti evolves Nāda and from Nāda issues Bindu. From the causal Bindu proceeds the effect (kārya) Bindu, Nāda and Bīja.
According to the Vatula-tantra, Śakti is the will of God and that is called bindu. From that arises nāda which is a source of all speech.
1) The cosmic female force is known as Shakti. She is the wife of Shiva and a form of Parvati.
2) Shakti was the eldest of the hundred sons of sage Vasishta and Arundhati. He married a woman named Adrishyanti, through whom he had a son named Parasara.
Shakti, meaning "Power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.
There are various lists given in the Purāṇas of the consorts of Lord Vishnu such as the 8 or the 12 Śaktis.
Śakti (शक्ति) is the name of a Brāhman mentioned in the Pallava grant of king Śivaskandavarman. He is als known as Satti. The Prākrit Pallava king Śivaskandavarman of Kāñcī, who was affiliated to the Brahmanical gotra of the Bhāradvājas, confirmed and enlarged, in the eighth year of his reign, a donation, made formerly by the great king, the lord Bappa (i.e., probably his father), to certain Brahmans (eg., Śakti), who resided at Āpiṭṭi or Āpiṭṭī, and were bhojakas, i.e., probably freeholders of the vilalge Chillarekakoḍuṃka or Chillerekakoḍuṃka.

I just would like to report that the direct blu-ray playback with VLC does not work any more after upgrading VLC to 3.0.5.
It works with VLC 2.2.4. Also, handbrake still seems to work.
So... why not report this on the VLC forums where something can be done about it?
I might be wrong but am guessing this is caused by changes in api of libaacs and libbdplus, which libmmbd emulates?
4.	Open MakeMKV and activate it.
5.	You should be able to play BDs in VLC using the Media > Open Disc > Blu-Ray function.

I did all the steps, but what happens is I can see my blue light on my drive going constantly and I can hear the disc spinning/reading. I started at 3:10 pm today and as I am writing this post it is 3:17 pm and still doing the same thing and not playing the 4K UHD Venom movie. Also on VLC there is a yellow/orange bar (looks like the light from the Knight Rider Car) going from left to right, back and forth, over and over.
It is now 3:21 pm and still the same. I had to hit the Eject button on the drive for it to stop.
did you put the 32bit libmmbd.dll since you have 32 bit vlc?
does your vlc directory look like this?
Yep, looks exactly like that.
idk maybe try 64 bit vlc i have that one and it works and also put the 64 bit dlls in the directory.
Did the VLC 64 bit v3.0.6, re-did the procedure, worked like a champ.
Only tested with Blu-ray, gonna try the UHD later today and report back. Thanks for the help and advice.
UHD 4K working too. Sweet!
nice yeah its a pretty cool feature not many people know about. menus work too for regular blurays if you have java installed.
Okay, the Mac (and Linux) procedure are documented in the OS-specific Forums. You use a series of symbolic links to do this. The method you've documented with copying the *.dll a couple of times and renaming seems plausible for Windows. However, I didn't get direct Blu-Ray playback to work (VLC v3.0.6 64-bit and MakeMKV v1.14.3).
I guess I've really got two questions: 1) Shouldn't we have a Window-specific Forum? and 2) What's the procedure to get VLC to work in Windows?
After reading my previous post, it seems clear that I was half-asleep when I wrote it. I figured it out, so please allow me to share my procedure.
I attempted to use the method written by @Billycar11 earlier in this thread to get VLC to play a Blu-ray disc. Unfortunately, this wasn't an automatic win. I think the disconnect is the 32-bit versus 64-bit libraries. Instead of copying "libmmbd.dll" from the MakeMKV directory, you nee to copy the "libmmbd64.dll" file (as detailed in the procedure below).
Install VLC v3.0.6 (vlc-3.0.6-win64.exe) and MakeMKV v1.14.3 (Setup_MakeMKV_v1.4.3.exe).
Activate MakeMKV with a temporary or purchased registration code.
Copy the libmmbd64.dll file from the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\' directory and made two duplicates in the 'C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC' directory.
Move the 'libaacs.dll' and 'libbdplus.dll' files out of the 'C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC' directory. You can just create another subdirectory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\Archive") and drop them in there.
Rename the two "libmmbd64.dll" duplicates to "libaacs.dll" and "libbdplus.dll" (respectively).
Fire-up the VLC, load a Blu-ray, and enjoy!
MakeMKV v1.14.3 for Windows is both x86 and x64 compatible, so it has libraries for both architectures.

The Reptile Database ist eine wissenschaftliche Online-Datenbank für systematische Informationen zu Reptilien (im paraphyletischen Sinn). Der Fokus der Datenbank liegt auf taxonomischen Daten auf Artniveau, zu nahezu jeder Art ist ein Datensatz vorhanden. Die Suchmaschine ist das wichtigste Werkzeug für die Navigation. Jeder Datensatz enthält übergeordnete Taxa, Erstbeschreiber, Beschreibungsjahr, die Verbreitung auf Länderniveau sowie eine Bibliografie. Bei einigen Arten sind auch Fotografien vorhanden. Seit 2007 werden in neuen Datensätzen Informationen zu diagnostischen Merkmalen, Etymologie (meist des Artepithetons) und Höhenangaben angegeben, und nach Möglichkeit in alten Datensätzen ergänzt.

The Reptile Database wurde Ende 1995 als EMBL Reptile Database gegründet, Mitte 1996 ging die Datenbank mit einer Suchmaschine online. Die Server wurden vom European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) gestellt. Als Ende 2006 der letzte Mitarbeiter der Reptile Database das EMBL verließ, kündigte das EMBL die Unterstützung der Datenbank. Schließlich bot The Institute of Genomic Research (TIGR) an, die Server bereitzustellen. Die Start- und Orientierungsseiten der in Deutschland gegründeten Datenbank sind immer noch auf deutschen Servern hinterlegt, die eigentlichen Datensätze sind nun auf Servern in Tschechien abgespeichert. Aktuell verantwortlich für The Reptile Database sind Peter Uetz und Jirí Hošek.

Die Reptiliendatenbank verlinkt zur herpetologischen Fachliteratur, die online verfügbar ist, zum Beispiel Linnés "Systema Naturae" oder Bibrons und Dumérils "Érpetologie Génerale". Stand Dezember 2022 enthält The Reptile Database Datensätze über 11.940 Arten und 2.158 Unterarten von Reptilien sowie über 63.000 Literaturhinweise.

A Muriwaimanu a madarak (Aves) osztályának és a pingvinalakúak (Sphenisciformes) rendjének, eddig az egyik legbazálisabb, azaz alapibb fosszilis neme.

Tudnivalók
A Muriwaimanu ezelőtt 58 millió éve élt, a középső paleocén korszakban, majdnem mindjárt a kréta–tercier kihalási esemény, valamint a nem madárszerű dinoszauruszok kihalása után. A Muriwaimanu tuatahi-t korábban a Waimanu madárnembe sorolták be, Waimanu tuatahi név alatt. Azonban 2018-ban, további kutatások következtében kivonták onnan és megalkották a mai nemét.

Az első Muriwaimanu maradványt 1980-ban, az új-zélandi Waipara folyó menti Canterbury városhoz tartozó Waipara zöldhomokkő formációban találták meg. A neve a maori nyelvből ered, jelentése: "vízimadár utáni" = Waimanu utáni; hiszen 2 millió évvel fiatalabb annál.

We are using intellij for our development.
How can i achive it in one shot. For example if i give module name, it should generate all of this three files.
I know how to use file templates for this and i have already done it, but the problem is , i have to specify each and every files. I want to give only module name and all these three files should be created.


I couldn't wait to get started with Close To My Heart so as I waited for my kit to arrive I have been playing in Studio J. I have found it to be so very easy and plenty of choices to make it your own and even add things to a layout. It is a very good start in digital scrapbooking and I find it especially cool that I have been able to play with it on my breaks and lunch at work! Classical scrapbooking will always be the foundation as I love the hands-on, etc but this digital stuff has made me a happy scrapper. I am getting layouts done quick! My kit arrived but I found my disorganized mess to be a challenge as I wasn't sure where yet to put everything so I could find it again. I have been tackling that issue before I get my hands on the stuff that came in my kit but I am hoping by this weekend to make enough headway that I will dive into some creative fun. I am working on getting to know everything I can about Studio J as I am doing my first Studio J gathering on Friday Sept 23rd and of course working on more card projects for World Card Making Day Celebration on Sunday October 1st. So, mark your calendars or contact me if you interested in learning more about Studio J.
What to do with a stamp set?
Studio J from Close to My Heart is a Winner!
My New Adventure has Started!

The Most Life-Changing DCOMs From Your Youth
By Allie Gemmill
The wonderful world of Disney Channel Original Movies — or DCOMs, as they're commonly called — is vast, covering a variety of topics. What becomes a common thread, though, is just how many life-changing DCOMs there are in the canon. Now, defining "life-changing" can be a bit tricky: What life circumstances are you beginning with, and what are you hoping to change? Well, it's safe to guess that if you saw the following DCOMs when they first aired, you may have been a young millennial. This means that you (like me) went through the last years of elementary school and all of middle school trying to figure out who you wanted to be, what kind of a friend you were, how you handled sticky situations, and simple things like what your personal style included.
This is where DCOMs came in handy. The films tackled a variety of important themes and topics — from racism to feminism, the importance of honoring differences to the necessity of believing in yourself. What a time to be alive, when you're growing up right alongside the protagonists of a slew of DCOMs and you get to see how they handle the tough stuff. It's life-changing indeed. The following group of DCOMs is perhaps the definitive round-up of life-changing DCOMs around.
1. Zenon: Girl Of The 21st Century
Bow down to Zenon. She is the original DCOM queen. First of all, Zenon literally had a life change in her first movie, Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Watching Zenon stay true to her quirky self, even when she was grounded (again, literally, on Earth), was so much fun. But watching her be an empowered young women in a new century? Boom. Mind. Blown.
2. The Color Of Friendship
You want life-changing? How about a DCOM that acts as a primer to racial inequality in society, while still giving you a beautiful story about friendship? Enter The Color of Friendship. It's a tearjerker with a heart of gold, and it was definitely an eye-opening historical drama that many of us young millennials needed to see.
3. Cheetah Girls
The Cheetah Girls subverted any negative connotations of the term "diva" when they entered the DCOM canon. These young women knew what they wanted, had the drive to achieve it, and stuck by each other's side until their dreams came true. How can you not be inspired by that? Ugh, I can't handle it. They're perfect.
4. Cadet Kelly
You want a feminist icon as your protagonist? You want unconventional settings like military school where young women thrive? You want Hilary-freaking-Duff during her peak Disney years? Then Cadet Kelly is here to mess you up, son. Mess you up in a good way, that is.
5. Halloweentown
Halloweentown is magically life-changing in the way that the Harry Potter films were magically life-changing: You cannot resist the supernatural pull, and you always come away from it feeling more energized about life somehow.
6. Up, Up, And Away
MCU says who? DCEU? More like DC-ew. Well, OK, maybe I won't go that far. But DCOMs really had the market cornered on superheroes when they released Up, Up, and Away. The original family of superheroes was a black family with major powers. To see them dominate our television screens was an intersectional thing of beauty.
7. Gotta Kick It Up!
Gotta Kick It Up! is one of the rare moments when the DCOM universe branched out and opened up the floor to young women of color. Focused solely on young Latina women and featuring a story all about female friendship and teamwork, seeing this DCOM was a major breath of fresh air.
8. Motocrossed
Motocrossed was absolutely life-changing. There's no way you couldn't be inspired and excited by Andi Carson's determination to compete against the boys at the one sport she truly loved, even though it wasn't geared toward women.
9. Rip Girls
A DCOM all about girls coming of age while riding the waves? Sign me up, sis.
10. Right On Track
Right On Track doesn't get nearly enough attention or recognition for how amazing it was. Like Motocrossed, it proved that girls were able and encouraged to do whatever it was that boys were doing (well, so long as it was legal), which was a great message for young women.
11. Wish Upon A Star
Wish Upon A Star was the innuendo-laden, body-switch DCOM that let us fall in love with Katherine Heigl, while contemplating what we would do if we switched bodies with our siblings. It was utterly amazing.


On DHS 168 we introduce to you Bman with his blend of Deep Afro House that will make you smile and bop your head with pleasure. Bman both tunes on his first release on deep hype sounds are smooth and hits us with all the right elements. Dangerous Group is deep house tune that's in your face with tough beats, synth sounds swirling around a deep bass line that will melt away a hard day at work. Embo is a nice deep house tune, that you can ride for days as you mix it in out of a mix. Hot stuff, and full support from many house DJs!


"Eggloo" was the third place, artists' choice, and people's choice winner at the 2018 state snow sculpting competition at the Vulcan Snow Park.
It looks like the snow has come just in time for the Saint Paul Winter Carnival (Jan. 24-Feb. 3), but even if it hadn't, the Vulcan Snow Park (the Winter Carnival's counterpart over at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds) would still be a winter wonderland. Why? Because they make around 3,000 tons of snow every year. You need that much for the giant snow slide, eight-foot tall snow sculptures, mini snow maze, and more.
New this year is a Fire Castle with a nine-hole golf course inside, and events like the state snow sculpting competition (in progress Jan. 25-27, viewing through the end of the carnival), Vulcan Fun Day with free fire truck rides (Jan. 27), and the barstool ski races (Feb. 2) are back again. While it's too late to sign up for the Snow Park's amateur snow sculpting competition, here's a piece I wrote last year when I did it for the 2018 Winter Carnival.
For my first year doing a snow sculpture for the Vulcan Snow Park, I didn't want to be in danger of sawing the snow so fervently I fell off my ladder. Not that any of the 18 teams that competed for the 2018 state competition did, but still. Those champs were working with 8-foot tall blocks. For the Amateur Snow Sculpting Contest (a one-day whirlwind Feb. 3), my team, aptly named Wingin' It, had a block that was a tame 6 feet tall, but even with that downscaled height, I needed a step stool to work on the top of what would be our baby dragon.
I'll let you know now: We got last place out of four teams. ("Ice Age"'s Scrat, Minnesota inventions and an octopus with a Rubik's cube make for formidable competition.) But we did have a steady stream of passersby proclaiming it was a dragon hatching out of an egg before we told them, and we had some children even want to touch it (we let them, of course), so I think we can count it as a win in the books.
Robert McLernon, Cassie Bauman, and I started the day at almost 8 a.m. sharp, and right from the get-go, the Vulcan Snow Park volunteers spoiled us with coffee, doughnuts, and other refreshments before we got to work. At 18ºF and no wind, the weather was perfect, and although I scrooge-ishly grumbled that the gently falling snow would ruin our carved lines, we couldn't have asked for a better day to be outside.
As we found out, you can't just dig out the packed snow, nor can you peel it like you would a linoleum block. Smarter teams than we brought saws, but Bauman and I ended up doing a lot of hacking until McLernon showed up and proved to be a god with the ice scraper, resulting in huge cleared out spaces and clean edges. Pat Mogren, one of the lead volunteers at the Snow Park, came by multiple times with metal curry combs and scrapers to arm us in our artistic plight—they proved to be a necessity for the egg shape and dragon anatomy—and Kendra Myers, the Minnesota State Snow Sculpting Competition coordinator was always nearby with encouragement, too.
By the time noon rolled around, I was in that intense, one-track frame of mind where my friends can't tell if I'm having fun anymore and I don't want to break for the generously provided lunch because, hello, we have a sculpture to make. Still, a sloppy joe, chips, vegetables and a water bottle later (again, all provided by the Snow Park) I ended up taking an extra five-minute break with McLernon to look at the State Competition sculptures while Bauman continued to work on detailing more of the dragon'swings, arms, and head. What an overachiever she is.
In the end, we finished our baby dragon at about 3:15 p.m. with 45 minutes to spare and, at least for me, a nice pile of soaking wet mittens. It was a good day full of simple pleasures: fresh air, creativity, exercise, and really, really nice people. Myers, Mogren and the other volunteers are some of the most easy going and kind-hearted people you'll meet, and they know how to immediately make you feel at home. Everyone was excited to be there and to help out at the Snow Park, and the day was filled with people looking at the sculptures, giving it a try themselves (Mogren had put out the rest of his metal curry comb supply and miniature cubic foot blocks for people) and going down the Vulcans' giant snow slide.
As Winter Carnival lore goes, the Vulcans bring in spring, and I can't think of any better way to end winter than stopping by the Vulcan Snow Park and checking out the sculptures and snowtastic activities. And hey, if you're around next year, sign up for the Amateur Snow Sculpting Contest.
