Das Hnappadalur ist ein Tal  mit vulkanischen Erscheinungsformen im Westen von Island.

Geografie
Das schüsselförmige Tal liegt im Süden der Halbinsel Snæfellsnes und zu Füßen des Zentralvulkans der Ljósufjöll. Es befindet sich im Nordwesten des Gemeindegebiets von Borgarbyggð. Nördlich des Tals liegen die beiden Seen Oddastaðavatn und Hlíðavatn, östlich der See Hítarvatn.

Die Landschaft wurde geprägt durch die Gletscher der Eiszeit und die Vulkanausbrüche des Systems der Ljósufjöll.

Die ältesten Gesteinsschichten datieren in die Zeit vor ca. 7–10 Millionen Jahren zurück. Es lagen immer wieder Eiszeitgletscher über der Gegend. Diese wichen vor dem Meer zurück, so dass das Tal zeitweise ein Fjord war. Später verlandete dieser.

Das Vulkansystem der Ljósufjöll prägte die Gegend entscheidend mit. In dem Tal befinden sich insgesamt ungewöhnlich viele Vulkankrater. Im Zentralvulkan der Ljósufjöll selbst findet sich Rhyolith, ansonsten Basalt-Gestein.

Der Fluss Haffjarðará durchquert das Tal von Nordosten nach Südwesten. Er ist einer der bekannteren Lachsflüsse von Island.

Eldborg í Hnappadal

Der Krater Eldborg í Hnappadal  (auch: Eldborg á Mýrum) ist ein Schweißschlackenkegel (oder Lavaring) und gilt als einer der formschönsten in Island. Er liegt etwa 40 km nördlich von Borgarnes und westlich der Straße Nr. 50, die nach Snæfellsnes hinausführt auf dieser .
Eldborg ist in Island eine Bezeichnung für Schweißschlackenkegel generell und heißt wörtlich übersetzt Feuerburg.

Der Hauptkrater misst ca. 200 m im Durchmesser, ist 50 m tief und hat innen wie außen sehr steile Wände. Drei kleinere Krater liegen in der Nähe.

Eldborg wird auch im Landnámabók erwähnt. Man glaubte im Mittelalter, dass er zur Landnahmezeit, vor ca. 1.000 Jahren, ausgebrochen sei. Dies hat sich aber als unrichtig erwiesen. Der letzte Ausbruch des Eldborg ereignete sich vor etwa 5.000 – 9.000 Jahren und schuf das Lavafeld Eldborgarhraun. Heute nimmt man an, dass die Lavafelder aus der Landnahmezeit von einem anderen Krater im Hnappadalur stammen, vermutlich vom Rauðakúla.

Gullborg
Der Vulkankrater Gullborg liegt ca. 15 Kilometer nördlich des Eldborg in seinem eigenen Lavafeld, das weniger leicht begehbar, aber dafür mit einigen großen Höhlen ausgestattet ist, die unter Naturschutz stehen. Die längste Höhle, Borgarhellir, ist 423 m lang. Das Lavafeld ist etwa 2.000 bis 3.000 Jahre alt.

Die erste Höhle wurde erst am 28. Juli 1969 von Guðmundur Albertsson vom Hof Heggstaðir erkundet. In den nächsten Tagen fanden er und andere noch mehr Höhlen im Lavafeld Gullborgarhraun.

Weitere vulkanische Erscheinungsformen
Zwei weitere große Krater nahe dem Zentralvulkan der Ljósufjöll tragen beide den Namen Rauðakúla. Der höhere ist (917 m) hoch, der kleinere etwa 200 m niedriger.

Zwei andere Schlackenkegel sind Syðri-Rauðamelskúla (154 m) und Ytri-Rauðamelskúla (222 m). Syðri-Rauðamelskúla steht mehr oder minder in der Mitte des Tales, Ytri-Rauðamelskúla weiter westlich nahe dem verlassenen Hof Gerðuberg. Beide können bestiegen werden. Von ihnen hat man eine schöne Sicht über das Tal und seine verschiedenen vulkanischen Formen. Die die Krater umgebenden Lavaströme sind etwa 2600 Jahre alt.

Die nahe beim Ytri-Rauðamelskúla gelegenen Basaltsäulen von Gerðuberg wurden durch vom Meer abgekühlte Lava von Kratern geschaffen, die zu diesem Vulkansystem gehören.

Nicht weit davon liegt auch eine Mineralquelle, zu der ein markierter Wanderweg führt: Rauðamelsölkelda.

Zum Talausgang hin, Richtung Borgarnes, liegt ein weiterer größerer Krater namens Barnaborg in seinem eigenen Lavafeld. Durch dieses Barnaborgarhraun führt ein weiterer markierter Wanderweg auf den Krater (Wanderparkplatz an der Straße 54).

Geschichte
Der erste Siedler in dem Tal, das im Mittelalter Knappadalur hieß, war ein Mann, den man Þorgils knappi nannte. Nach ihm ist das Tal benannt.

Back in July we covered a detailed post on Problem Steps Recorder in Windows 7. The big downside is that the output is saved in MHTML format. Not everyone is familiar with this format, so how are we supposed to share it with lesser educated family members or friends?
The perfect solution is to convert it to PDF format. This is exactly what I did recently in order to make it easier for others. So how would you convert it? Simply download and install Bullzip PDF Printer(read the detailed review to learn more about it).
Once you save the output in PDF format, you can quickly send the file via email. Converting to PDF can help considerably, since the reciever can open it using online apps such as Google Docs, thus saving time and increasing productivity.
Since MHTML can be opened in Internet Explorer 8, what if someone is having problems with his Internet Explorer and you want to send him the solution to fix it via Problem Steps Recorder. How is he/she supposed to open MHTML since their IE is not working? Sending a PDF sure has the benefits. 😉 Enjoy!

I bought this gem in August of 2015 and it's been a great vehicle to have. I've re-upholstered the front seat bottoms and added an LED light bar, the updated audio deck is a JVC CD/DVD with iPod compatability. I upgraded the speakers to Alpine units in the doors. The license-plate frame rear-view camera displays on it as well. I've done regular maintenance with synthetic oil and it burns maybe 1 quart every 1,500 miles. I had the differential fluid replaced last year. There is a brush guard in the front and running boards on the sides. It comes with an additional set of mud & snow tires mounted on Toyota wheels. I bought a set of third row seats which haven't been re-upholstered, but they come with it as well.
Larger photo's below description. Available is my 1982 Toyota 4x4 pickup. Truck is equipped with a 22r, 5 Speed, and power steering. As you can see from the photos the truck has gone under extensive restoration work. This is NOT your typical high mile, classic Toyota Pickup you see for sale with the quickie respray & stripe job. It is nut and bolt, turnkey ready to go, no issues. This was a one owner low miles truck up until 2010, I purchased from the second owner (see auto check report). The truck remains largely original, aside from some minor mechanical modification to enhance its drivability, power, and ability off road. In an effort to keep the ad organized and short, I will describe the truck in sections below. Please review the photos as well to gain an idea of the extent of restoration, parts/upgrades, and time/labor invested. If you have any question please ask, or feel free to contact me 503-369-0459. The truck is located near Portland Oregon. I can work with auto transports, or I can meet you at the PDX airport if you wish to drive home. I do have a local Toyota dealership located near by for a pre-purchase inspection if needed. Body: -The body in great condition overall, with absolutely No rust or major defects. It has been refinished in the factory Toyota Super Red paint code, and finished with factory SR5 stripes. -The body was completely disassembled during paint, doors gutted, and all glass removed for a thorough respray (expensive/time consuming). -During the reassembly I had all the hardware replaced with stainless, new windshield fitted, and all weather stripping replaced. -The bed has also been "lined" inside, and fitted with very nice lockable canopy (keys included). - New rear bumper, new grill, new OEM door handles, and new lighting installed after paint. -Only notable flaws include a few small door dings from general use (tried to photo but would not show up). - 5 new alloy wheels, and 5 new BFG All Terrain tires (31x10.50). Matching spare wheel/tire under bed. New lug nuts, center caps, etc.. over $1700 in wheels/tires. - Body was removed from frame and new polyurethane body mounts fitted. Frame was stripped and painted with POR-15 chassis paint for rust protection and longevity. - Floors were in good shape and also received a POR-15 treatment, then covered in sound deadening material (truck rides quite). Interior: -Interior remains all original aside from the seat being reupholstered (correct style material used), and new carpeting. -Dash is great condition with no cracks, and wears a form fitted dash mat for protection. - Headliner is nice/clean, and the Factory AM/FM radio remains (works).-All interior dash lighting functions, to include courtesy lighting as well.-Only notable flaw includes some minor perforations on drivers door panel (pictured). Suspension: -The suspension has been completely overhauled and replaced with new or rebuilt. -New Old Man EMU springs front/rear, small 2" lift. These are the best available for this truck and provided a softer ride over factory. -All 24 leaf spring bushing replaced with polyurethane -New rough country shocks, new steering stabilizer, and all new steering linkage. -Front axle gutted, rebuilt with new seals, bearing's, upgraded inner axle seals, and new wheel bearing. -Break system rebuilt using new brake calipers, new rotors, new pads front/rear, new master cylinder, and new hoses. Drive train: -Over $5000 recently invested in rebuild & upgrade of drivetrain. Runs great, very tight. Approx. 6,000 miles driven since overhaul. -Motor rebuilt to factory spec. Local reputable machinist bored/honed block (.020 over). Crank polished, rods resized, etc… -New pistons, new timing chain assembly, new oil pump, new water pump, new OEM rod/main bearings, etc.. -Cylinder head rebuilt with new valves, guides, Viton stem seals, and three angle valve grind. -Reassembled with new OEM head bolts, new OEM head gasket, new rocker arms, etc… -Motor upgraded with new performance Cam for better torque, new Offenhauser dual port intake, new Weber Carb (adapter used to retain factory air cleaner assembly), new header, and all new exhaust system. - During engine rebuild a new OEM Aisin clutch kit was fitted, flywheel resurfaced, new transmission mount, and new clutch master and slave cylinder fitted. Transmission/transfer case were also resealed, and correct GL4 synthetic transmission fluid used in both. - Rear differential was sent to Gearinstalls.com to be professionally rebuilt with a master rebuild kit, and a Detroit TruTrac Limited Slip unit installed. The limited slip immensely improves the off road capability of the truck, without any adverse effects to the drivability on road. Over $900 invested in rear differential alone. - In-depth tune up preformed as well to include new OEM ignition components, new coolant hoses, new belts, new battery, new fluids & filters in everything, and all new fuel lines. In summary this is great/reliable classic Toyota, gets a lot of attention everywhere I go and is a lot of fun to drive. It produces good power and can easily cruise at 65+ mph all day. It looks amazing, but also preforms very well both on the street and off-road. These are becoming very rare in this condition, and level of originality. It is guaranteed to please its new owner, and should provide another 35 years of faithful service. I have a clean title in hand, and I do have a video of the truck running/driving if you need further proof of its condition.

This truck drives like an off road sports car when on dirt. It will go anywhere and the limited slip front differential makes driving on pavement a breeze. I originally built this truck for as a daily driver that could handle the dirt road commute from our mountain top home in snow country (N. Idaho - no salt) to town. It handles deep snow with ease. It also has no problem driving in other extreme conditions such as mud, sand and ice. This rig also is great for camping and any kind of off / on road adventure. The suspension and tires smooth out the roughest of roads and allow for travel at a higher speed. This Toy turns heads everywhere it goes. I am always told that it would make an really nice hunting rig. This truck has never been rock crawled or abused. The motor was put in 2009/10. It went in after the original 3.0 V6 gave out (common). After weighing all of my options I decided the 4.3l was the only way to go. The motor came from a 1992 Chevy S10 donor. It is a "W" motor which is the higher horsepower version. The block casting # is 10105867, the head casting # is 14094768. The motor has been fully rebuilt using highest quality parts and labor. It has a stock cam (as specified by GM) is balanced and has never been overheated. The motor and conversion work were done by a respected mechanic and have only 41,000 miles since project completed early 2010. The conversion work included many parts from Advance Adapters including Bell Housing Adapter, slave cylinder, pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing (comes w/ an extra for backup), flywheel, engine mounts, 4 core alum. radiator and an electric fan and hi pressure cap and more. We installed a brand new Painless wiring harness which has worked flawlessly and includes a diagnostic link connector which is in the glove box. The motor was carefully broken in by myself. Since then I have upgraded and replaced various parts including the distributor, cap and rotor, installed a hi amp alternator, a new A/C motor (needs to be hooked up), water pump, fuel pump, oxygen sensor and a brand new mini starter and fuel filters. The oil has always been changed every 3k using quality oil and filters. I have always filled the tank with premium gas from Chevron or Shell whenever possible. The tires only have 11,000 miles on them and can be run from +/- 5 psi up to 30 +/- psi. At low psi snow and sand traction is unbeatable. The tires have been rotated at or before every 5k miles for even wear. They were purchased from Begg's tire and warranty is transferred to new owner. Truck was aligned after tire install. The aluminum rims are much lighter than steel and do not rust. The differential work was performed by JT's Differentials and all parts were bought thru them. The lift was done by a pro shop in southern Ca. The land cruiser rear springs allow for heavier payload to be carried with less "stinkbug" sag which lifted 4runners can be known for. The yota 5 speed transmission is bulletproof. With the 5.29 gear this truck has ample low range power for even the biggest tasks while cruising down the freeway at 70 mph is no problem. The body of this truck is in good shape. It was in a fender bender before I purchased it but previous owners repaired. The paint does have some sun fading and a little bit of surface rust on the hood (I was planning to upgrade hood and fenders with fiberglass replacements but never got around to it). The fender flares that are on it do have some cracks and blemishes from 4 wheeling but could easily be bondo repaired and painted flat black to look new again. The interior is clean with no rips or tears. It could use a new windshield sooner than later and the passenger side window needs a new electric motor. It has the sun/moon roof which is nice and sporty. This 4runner comes with many extra goodies not shown here. I have the following items and more that come with the rig: Hi Lift Jack, Tire spoon, Shovel, Extra battery kit w/ switch, Carpeted sleeping platform with drawers and storage, Baja offroad lights, Oil pan / Radiator guard (brushed aluminum), Chilton S10 and 4runner manuals, Original 1990 owners manual, Painless wiring diagram, Thule racks with bike tray and Da Kine rack pads, Kenwood cassette stereo and 6x 9 boxes + more spare parts. This vehicle was originally sent to the dealers lot in Missouri 1989. After that it life in the arid inland area east of Los Angeles. I then had it in use in Northern Idaho. It has been back and forth from ID to central Oregon over the last few years. I love this truck and am only selling it because we are no longer living in snow country and need the funds to help start a new business. I would not hesitate to jump in this and drive across the state today if needed. It has always been reliable and super fun to own and drive.I have put a lot of time and money into this vehicle and would like to pass it on to a good home. I think the price I am asking is fair considering the parts, labor and condition of this solid 4x. I may be able to personally deliver this truck to Washington, Idaho, Nevada or California if full asking price is met plus gas and return trip expense. I am flexible and easy to meet up with locally in Oregon for a test drive / viewing. If you are looking for a solidly built 4x4 that has never been abused and are a qualified buyer please get in contact with me. And for additional videos and photos of this Chevota just ask.

Raising a Confident Youngster
By Baisakhi Roy
The pressures and pleasures of growing up tend to be similar across cultures—but for Indian-American youngsters, often there's the added stress of being different from their mainstream peers. Why, despite such challenges, do so many from the second and third generations do so well? Khabar spoke to five achievers and the parents of one.
"We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, ... our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. ... But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live."
—Joseph Epstein
What we have in North America today is a melting pot of cultures and traditions. Be it Toronto or New York, the subways in both cities buzz with languages that are not English. The South Asian community here has grown from strength to strength over the years, evident from the burgeoning number of influential South Asians in a range of fields, be it Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, wealthy venture capitalists, political movers and shakers, or LGBT activists.
Recently Forbes magazine released its list of "30 under 30," which profiles young "ultra impressive up-and-comers" that companies should either "hire today" or have working for them in the future as they are the young people of today "who matter." Included in that list are 10 South Asians of all ages and talents—from 17-year-old Param Jaggi of Austin College, Texas, who created an algae-filled device that fits over a car's tailpipe and turns carbon dioxide into oxygen, to 28-year-old Manvir Nijhar, co-head of European Equity Derivatives Sales at Citigroup, who has reportedly given "Citi's derivatives business a jolt."
But not all youngsters have it easy.
The U.S. and Canada have seen in recent months a spate of incidents that involved teenagers being bullied for being "different." In some cases, it has even led to suicide—14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer of Buffalo was a victim of gay slurs. So it is critical to impart a sense of security to our youth and guide them in the right direction.
Teenagers are under pressure to do well, to get into a good school and land a job when they get out of college. For some children, there is that extra baggage of a different sexual orientation, perhaps an ethnicity that is part of a minority or sometimes just his/her gender that is a pressure point. "Sure, I felt different, especially in my teenage years, because I was conscious of the fact that my parents are immigrants," says Sindya Bhanoo, whose parents live in Atlanta. Bhanoo, a correspondent for The New York Times, writes the weekly "Observatory" column in the paper's Science Times section.
But Bhanoo and others that Khabar spoke with succeeded despite all odds and are today living their dream. They all attribute it to one fact: their parents knew how to raise a confident youngster in America.
When Contractor was
growing up in Atlanta,
making time for both
family and community was
important. The Washington
Leadership Program he
founded targets young
South Asians.
The power of community:
HARIN CONTRACTOR,
government firm consultant.
He grew up in a traditional family in Georgia. It was the '80s and the Indian community in Atlanta stood out starkly because of their accents and skin color. Now a senior consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton, Contractor looks back on those days thoughtfully. "It wasn't easy for my parents. The '80s and '90s weren't normal for South Asians. Being Indian might be cool now but back then it was awkward. The only 'Indian' that people knew of was the character Apu from The Simpsons," he says. He remembers being too embarrassed to correct people when they mispronounced his name, having no friends at school and avoiding questions about the typical Indian food that he brought to school every day. But he also remembers the sense of warmth and security that he and his older sister had, thanks to a close-knit Gujarati family. "I think when you are in a place that is so far away from home, you rely on the familiar things in life. For us, it was my parents who instilled a strong sense of family and tradition in us kids."
The Contractors not only had each other to lean on but actively immersed themselves in the community, again a close group of people with similar backgrounds and ideals. "My parents were very active in the Swadhyaya movement and took us to various sessions conducted by them," he says. For those who don't know, the Swadhyaya parivaar (family) is a group of people in a family setting who study the Vedic scriptures and carry out various activities of self-development (swadhyaya literally means study of self
for a spiritual quest) in a devotional way. "Family time was most important. We ate together, prayed together, my parents talked about their lives and travails in India and also kept the cultural appreciation of India alive in our hearts. We were taught to be disciplined and concentrate on all that was good about [growing up in this country]. The basic ethos of the country, that you will do well if you work hard, was hammered into us from a very tender age," he says.
College is where Contractor entered a relatively level playing field, being among people who were there for one purpose only: to be educated and chart their paths in the real world. "There was less ignorance about race, color, and other such issues. I guess students at that age have a worldly view of things and learn to accept diverse cultures," he says. He thrived in an atmosphere of acceptance where South Asians were more or less integrated with the "general" crowd. Even here, he found more comfort among fellow South Asians.
While he went on to graduate from the University of Georgia with a B.A. in political science and economics and obtain a master's degree from the University of Chicago, his sister is a proud alumna of Yale University. It was at university, too, that he saw discrimination in its various avatars. "We planned to stage a play with homosexuality in the South Asian community as a theme for UGA's 'India Nite' show. I was shocked to discover that not many people wanted to be part of the production when we were recruiting for the effort. We then did a play about the very same issue: how people, when approached for this play, refused to be a part of it! It was a huge eye-opener for me," he says. The incident served to set Contractor thinking about an organization that would bring together bright South Asian minds who wanted to make a difference in the political makeup of the country. He recently founded the Washington Leadership Program (WLP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to building the next generation of leadership from within the South Asian American community through a summer program in Washington, D.C.
He believes that the current generation of South Asian children is very lucky. "There are so many reasons to be proud of being who you are now. The most prominent doctors, Silicon Valley inventors, wealthy entrepreneurs and leaders are South Asian. Even The Office had an episode where the staff celebrates Diwali. Did you hear President Obama's Diwali address? That was unprecedented!" he says with unbridled enthusiasm. He cites Gautam Raghavan, the new White House liaison on LGBT issues, and Parag Mehta, Special Assistant to the Director at the Department of Labor in the Obama administration, as shining examples of how the young South Asian community has come into its own.
"This generation of South Asians is a confident, proud lot, mainly because of how their parents taught them to believe in themselves and be nothing short of the best. You must look up to your parents. They are the ultimate inspiration," he says.
Bhanoo's parents, who live
in Atlanta, strove to preserve
Indian traditions and customs
at home. Bhanoo writes the
weekly "Observatory" column
for The New York Times.
Trust your children:
SINDYA BHANOO,
correspondent for The New York Times.
Consider this. You are in seventh grade in a school in Pullman, Washington—a small, rural town—and you have just been signed up for the annual talent show. Nothing absurd about this situation, unless…. "My mom suggested that I perform a Kerala lamp dance in the talent show," laughs Sindya Bhanoo. "The show line-up had boys putting up rock bands and there I was being asked to do something so different. I flat out refused but my mother signed me up anyways."
Though her performance earned her praise from her teachers and peers, she was still angry and embarrassed. "Now when I look back, it wasn't really a big deal. My mom wanted me to share a part of our culture," she says.
Bhanoo asserts that she did indeed have two identities growing up and it could get confusing at times. "Sleepovers, which were a very American thing, were restricted in our family. I usually had to come back home before all the other kids; late nights were basically not allowed," she says. "That changed over time, though, and things were easier for my youngest sister and brother."
Her parents, who came to the U.S. as Ph.D. students in the late '70s, strove to preserve Indian traditions and customs at home.
Sindya and her sister Shuby were both encouraged to speak to their extended family in Tamil, their native language. They were expected to dress a little more conservatively (than her American friends) and encouraged to opt for typical professions that the South Asian community hold dear. But the siblings also had, in Bhanoo's words, "the best parents one could wish for."
"They opened up every single opportunity that was out there for us that they didn't have. I took tap, jazz, ballet, and violin lessons, along with Bharatanatyam."
There was also the pressure to do well academically. "But looking back, I think a bit of pressure is beneficial. It motivates children to do better."
Bhanoo was studying computer engineering when she expressed her wish to take up writing as a career. Her father was very supportive. "But that's how they have always been. They have always wanted us to do well irrespective of the decisions we take in life, be it professional or personal," she says.
A computer science graduate from Carnegie Mellon and a journalism graduate from the University of California, Berkeley, Bhanoo writes the weekly "Observatory" on science for The New York Times. Her work has appeared in top publications, including the Washington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the San Francisco
Chronicle and the Oakland Tribune, among others. She says she couldn't have done it without the guidance, doggedness and support of her parents.
Bhullar credits
his father for the
strong foundation
he received as a
budding wrestler,
allowing him to
win a gold medal
for Canada at the
Discipline your children:
ARJAN BHULLAR, Olympic
freestyle wrestler
Bhullar, a shy amateur wrestler from British Columbia, Canada, is training hard for this year's London Olympics. As a Sikh who grew up in the South Asian neighborhood of Richmond in British Columbia, Bhullar is firm in his allegiance to both Canada and Punjab, the land of his forefathers. "I was born in Canada and I owe a lot to Canada. But India will always be where my roots are. I'm very respectful to the home country and the people, but Canada is my country, that's for sure." His father, Avtar Bhullar, was a wrestling champ in Punjab before moving to Canada.
Family has always been a very important aspect of Bhullar's life. He grew up on a cranberry farm, part of a large joint family, not very different from his cousins in the village of Bhullar in Punjab. "Every year we went back to our village and my dad would compete with the wrestlers there. I was so thrilled to see him being idolized like that," he says. Arjan took his first steps in a makeshift gym of concrete and wood that his family built. It was here that he put in countless hours of work as his father coached him and laid the foundation on which numerous coaches would later build. "My parents worked hard on me. Some of the values instilled in me were actually lived by my parents. My father led a very disciplined life. He never drank alcohol and took great pains to keep himself mentally and physically fit. I have inherited those qualities from him and for that I am eternally grateful," he says.
Bhullar began wrestling at a very early age, yet stayed competitive in several other sports. There wasn't enough funding for a wrestling program in his school, so his family built a bigger, better-equipped gymnasium. Avtar Bhullar ensured that Arjan did not lose focus. "When he felt I was distracted, doing typical high-schooler things, he made me work in the fields alongside older members of the community who worked very hard in those fields," he says. Bhullar takes great pride in the fact that he plays a sport that has a prevalent South Asian flavor to it. When he overpowered and pinned his Indian opponent Joginder Singh in the second round to win the gold medal for Canada in the 120-kg class at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010, his entire village (Bhullar, Punjab) was there to cheer him. It was a sight that a Canadian-flag-toting Bhullar would never forget. "I was just so overwhelmed," recalls the champion.
Gymnast Bhavsar, an Olympic
gold medalist, had the full
support of his parents when
he joined Cirque Du Soleil,
although they were initially
surprised by his decision.
Be supportive:
RAJ BHAVSAR, Olympic gymnast
and Cirque Du Soleil performer
When Olympian Raj Bhavsar's parents, Jyotindra and Surekha, heard that he was going to audition for the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil (self-described as a "dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment"), Bhavsar Sr. reacted with shock. After all his son had been a member of the U.S. team to the 2001 and 2003 world artistic gymnastics championships, winning a silver medal with the team in the 2003 championship, and a bronze medal as a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, thus becoming the third Indian-American ever to win a medal at the Olympics. Was his son making an informed decision? "It was unexpected for them because every parent wants his child to be doing something that is tried and tested; anything unconventional is a bit unsettling. But my parents have always pushed my brother and me to do our best. There was definitely a phase when they wanted me to take up a related business, like physical therapy or a business selling sporting goods, a typical Gujarati entrepreneurial trait, but he trusted me," says the former gymnast.
Bhavsar created "the Bhavsar," a move on the still rings and on parallel bars, which he then performed in 2009 at the Moscow World Cup. Even after retiring from competitive gymnastics in 2009, Bhavsar realized that he was happiest when doing flips at the gym. He decided to send an audition tape to the show producers of the Cirque du Soleil show Iris in Los Angeles. And he was in! "It was an amazing experience. The amount of creativity and discipline that goes into performing a sequence takes a lot out of an athlete in terms of mental toughness, air sense, and physical sharpness. The whole experience was a humbling one," he says.
Bhavsar's love for gymnastics was honed at an early age when he was growing up in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. "My dad took my brother and me to the gym from age four, and we just loved it. Then my passion for it just grew," he says. Raj trained at the Cypress Academy of Gymnastics under the famed coach Bill Foster. Jyotindra Bhavsar ensured that his son had the best trainers. The fact that his son did not opt for a more "mainstream sport that South Asians typically love," like tennis, did not faze Raj's father. "Initially he had a lot of questions. Then he met with my coaches, spoke to them regularly and really got involved in my training. He saw how good I was at it and how much I loved it. He was the one to recognize my potential and hone it," says Bhavsar of his father.
Thanksgiving and Christmas were celebrated at the Bhavsar household with as much aplomb as Diwali and there was always a good mix of non-South Asian friends in Raj's group. "My parents believed that staying confined to one's community was hardly beneficial. We were always taught to venture outside our comfort zone and explore the rich traditions of this country," he says. The only condition his parents had was that his grades in school remain top-notch. With a culture of self-discipline and acute time management being prevalent in his household, Raj managed to do well and so did his brother, who currently works for Microsoft. Bhavsar currently has no time to breathe. He lights up the Cirque stage eight times a week with two shows each on Saturdays and Sundays. And cheering on are his parents, who are his "greatest strength and support."
"They help me de-stress. They have infinite patience with me, and their love and trust is unconditional. What more could I ask for?" Bhavsar says.
Shree Bose received plenty of
inspiration and guidance from
her family, and after knocking
on many doors, she also found
an important mentor for her
prize-winning research.
Instill passion, not pressure:
SHREE BOSE, high school senior,
Google Science Fair champ.
When Shree was seven, she was determined to get kids to eat their greens. But well aware of how averse children were to the idea of green veggies, she attempted to create the next best thing: blue spinach. Shree Bose, winner of the grand prize at the Google Science Fair for her research in ovarian cancer, has come a long way since that day. In 2008, Shree's paternal grandfather succumbed to liver cancer. His death had a profound effect on the 15-year-old, who decided to work in the area of cancer research. With no idea on how seriously she would be taken at that age, Shree decided to take the first step. "I began writing to professors at universities in the area to explore if any of them would allow me to work with them in their labs." After a lot of rejections, Dr. Alakananda Basu of the University of North Texas Health Science Center asked her to come by and work in her lab," she says, reliving the excitement of those early days. The first year, she worked in the area of breast cancer and received hands-on training with the state-of-the-art equipment the lab had to offer.
Then came the big moment when Shree came across an announcement from Google. For its inaugural Global Science Fair, children from across the world could upload their science fair projects on the internet. She decided to submit her ovarian cancer project, which found a way to improve treatment for patients who developed a resistance to some chemotherapy drugs. Over 7500 projects were submitted from 91 countries. Fifteen finalists were chosen and then flown to the Google headquarters in California, where they were judged by a panel consisting of luminaries like the editors of Scientific American, the National Geographic magazine, officials from CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and the inventor Dean Kamen. "It was gratifying being declared the winner in my age group as well as the grand prize winner," she says.
Inspiration lived in the Bose household even before Shree was born. Her father, who had a background in metallurgy, had already sown the seeds of scientific curiosity in the mind of Shree's older brother, Pinaki. At 10 years of age, Pinaki had already thought up revolutionary ideas like "Textbooks for Tomorrow" to convert books into CDs and DVDs so that kids wouldn't have to break their back lugging their gargantuan books to school. This was long before e-books. Pinaki's appearance on Fox TV to discuss this project as well as his winning of numerous science awards was just the kind of fillip that Shree needed. "My brother always encouraged me to ask questions and he always attempted to answer them. All my initial scientific education came from my brother who had such an engaging way of explaining things to me. I still remember how clearly he explained the concept of atoms to me," she recalls, her tone agog with hero worship. Does being on the brink of doing something path-breaking unnerve her? After all, she is only 17! "My dad always says that there is no limit to what you can do if you love it. This is what I love and I want to learn all that there is in this area. There have been tremendous leaps in cancer research and it is my sincere hope that I can make a difference," she says.

How to raise
an achiever
By Animesh and
Prarthana Bose
The Boses came to the U.S. in 1985, initially to Troy, a small town in New York. They now live with their two children in Fort Worth, Texas. Humbled by the achievements of their children, they insist that they are not qualified to give parenting tips. "All we can do is share our experience and point to things that we think have worked for us," says Animesh Bose. Here's his master list.
1) Raise them to be compassionate: Our hope always was that our children should grow up to be compassionate, truthful, and have a strong moral sense.
2) Boost their confidence: Instill in them the confidence that they can dream of what they want to be and then have the grit and determination to follow their dream.
3) Focus on the good: We were determined that we would try our best to impart our cultural and moral values in our children. We knew that they would automatically adapt to the traditions of this country.
4) Stand up to bullies: We taught our kids to try and stand their ground if they are right or if they think someone or a group is trying to bully them. We were always conscious of the fact that we were part of a minority group (even though Fort Worth has a fairly large Indian population). Our children knew that we had their back if needed.
5) Encourage questions: When Pinaki stretched the limits of my knowledge with his numerous questions, I would honestly tell him that I did not know the answer, but would then try and get it for him. This exercise proved invaluable as it kept their curiosity alive and they were not afraid to ask questions.
6) Have faith: Being of Indian origin we carry a deep-rooted belief in God. Being able to give the kids good moral and ethical values and providing a religious foundation will give them the confidence to do the right things and stand up against what is wrong.
7) Be a parent first: We are parents, and it is important to stress that we are in this world to guide our kids. Sometimes parents feel that they need to be buddies to their children. But we are strong believers in tough love, which we feel is extremely important in raising kids, as it makes what is right and what is wrong very clear to them. The trick is to be tough and yet have an open communication channel with the children.
8) Teach them to give back: We tell our kids that they are very lucky, and if they want to be good human beings, to try rising above self-interest and give back to others in any way they can. We think that this concept has slowly sunk in. Both my children are involved in volunteer work, which they enjoy.

Girish Melkani acquired a Ph.D. degree from Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India (A CSIR premier Drug Institute) & Kumaun University, Nainital, India. For his Ph.D. dissertation, he studied lipoproteins under oxidative stress (in vitro and in vivo) and their cardiovascular implication in humans. After acquiring his Ph.D., he became interested in naturally occurring defense mechanisms involving heat shock proteins, which play a critical role in maintaining protein structure and function during cellular processes and stresses. He drew from his background in oxidative stress in lipoproteins for his postdoctoral position (at the Cal State San Marcos, CA) which focused on how GroEL (heat shock protein HSP-60 analog of E. coli) performs its chaperone function under multiple stress conditions. At the San Diego State University (SDSU), he then went on to further study the role of chaperones in vivo, particularly in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle as well as in protein folding diseases. For these purposes, he used Drosophila as a model system using genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, cardiac physiology, and gene transfer techniques.
For his Independent faculty career at SDSU, he used the Drosophila model to explore the mechanism of cardiac failure associated with amyloid accumulation in the cardiomyocytes (referred to as cardiac amyloidosis). He continued his faculty tenure at SDSU before joining the University of Alabama at Birmingham on Oct 1st, 2020, and with multiple collaborations over the years, his research projects are currently supported by three R01 grants. During this tenure, his research group has been at the forefront of developing and using clinically relevant Drosophila models to address the pathophysiological basis of human circadian/metabolic disorders linked to cardiometabolic disease, myofibrillar-myopathies, proteinopathies neuropathies, sleep, and aging disruptions. He also integrates physiological, cell-molecular, genetics, and nutritional approaches to understanding how lifestyle (including, chrono-nutrition, circadian rhythms, and eating/sleeping patterns) and genetic factors act to maintain the structural integrity of cells, tissues, and organs that in turn dictates organismal physiology. Additionally, using strategic collaborations, he applies the findings to higher mammals or even humans to develop therapies for human metabolic and myofibrillar and misfolding protein disorders.
In addition to his research involvement, he is deeply committed to the academic excellence of undergraduate and graduate students with diverse backgrounds through classroom teaching and lab training. For his university and other services, he has served on various committees and grant review panels. He has also delivered invited talks at various national and international platforms including various universities, institutes, seminars and conferences. He has reviewed scientific manuscripts for over 35 journals and served on the editorial board of three journals.

Де́мківці — село в Україні,  у Старокостянтинівській міській громаді Хмельницького району Хмельницької області. До 2020 адміністративно підпорядковувалось Радковецькій сільській раді .

Історія
Перша документальна згадка про село — 7 грудня 1753 року, - «Кольбушівська транзакція», згідно з якою, село входило до Старокостянтинівської волості, та знаходилось у володіння спадкоємців князів Острозьких. Поблизу села бере початок р. Деревичка - одна з малих річок України, лівий приток р. Случ.

12 червня 2020 року, відповідно до розпорядження Кабінету Міністрів України № 727-р «Про визначення адміністративних центрів та затвердження територій територіальних громад Хмельницької області», увійшло до складу Старокостянтинівської міської громади.

19 липня 2020 року, після ліквідації Старокостянтинівського району, село увійшло до Хмельницького району.

A blue socket is the best because this item lacks spirit, as you have already said. So, I believe this is a very good combination of stats-socket indeed.
Note that this neck, unlike the non-heroic version Blood Queen's Crimson Choker, is not BoE.
Why on earth they gave the heroic version a blue socket, while the regular one has a yellow, I'll never know.
I sometimes think blizz doesn't play or understand their own game.
WoW Executive 1: "Do you have a World of Warcraft account?"
WoW Executive 2: "No, I have a life!"

Normal is a money gainer. A BIG money gainer at that.
We NEED the money right? We don't just want more money out of GREED. We NEED the money because we DESERVE it and after that we need MORE and MORE and MORE because we deserve it. Not out of greed.
For resto druids, Bone Sentinel's Amulet is the best choice.
They changed the gem slot colour of this item in 4.0.1 from blue to yellow to match its non heroic counterpart. It always seemed strange to me that the heroic and non heroic versions of this item would have different gem slot colours.

Q: How to sort a list of maps in scala? I query data from multiple tables, and each has a customized key.  I put the data from these tables into a list of maps and want to sort it by the id value.
What I end up with is:
var g = groups.map(i => Map("id" -> i._1, "job" -> i._2))
var p = people.map(i => Map("id" -> i._1, "job" -> i._2))
var party = g ++ p

Which gives me:
var party = List(
    Map(id -> 1, job -> Group1),
    Map(id -> 2, job -> Group2),
    Map(id -> 2>1, job -> Person1Group2)
    Map(id -> 1>1, job -> Person1Group1),
    Map(id -> 1>2, job -> Person2Group1)
)

But I want to sort by id so that I have it in an order so that i can populate a tree structure:
var party = List(
    Map(id -> 1, job -> Group1),
    Map(id -> 1>1, job -> Person1Group1),
    Map(id -> 1>2, job -> Person2Group1),
    Map(id -> 2, job -> Group2),
    Map(id -> 2>1, job -> Person1Group2)
)

How do I do this?

A: A minor refactoring of the associations in each Map by using case classes may simplify the subsequent coding; consider
case class Item(id: String, job: String)

and so by using (immutable) values,
val g = groups.map(i => Item(i._1, i._2)
val p = people.map(i => Item(i._1, i._2)

Then
(g ++ p).sortBy(_.id)

brings a list of items sorted by id.
If you wish to group jobs by id, consider
(g ++ p).groupBy(_.id)

which delivers a Map from ids onto lists of items with common id. From this Map you can use mapValues to extract the actual jobs.

A: as hinted above party.sortBy(_("id")) should do it
