On shortage of men in our armed forces
To be consistently effective when the odds are high, Armed Forces have to be peopled by able cadre and helmed by good leaders
Published: 07th February 2018 04:00 AM | Last Updated: 07th February 2018 02:28 AM | A+A A-
By Lt Col Dk Havanoor (Retd)
India has been facing many problems concerning national security, such as the attacks on our sovereignty through past wars, ongoing clashes on Indian borders and the Line of Control, low intensity conflicts in Kashmir and the Northeast, Maoism across many states, and other law and order problems. And we are also confronted by regular natural calamities across various regions.
Unfortunately, although many systemic measures have been built to address these issues and use Armed Forces as a measure of last resort, more often than not, the other measures fail or aren't given time to be effective.
This leaves the full burden of responsibility on our Armed Forces on every occasion—be it a terror attack in a metropolis, a flood in Assam, a riot in Gujarat, or an earthquake in Nepal. And our Armed Forces have provided effective solutions to all of these problems every single time since the day of Independence.
To be consistently effective and shoulder the burden when the odds are so high, and when there is no backup, the Armed Forces have to be peopled by able cadre and helmed by good leaders. So it is rather alarming that there are huge shortages of personnel in its rank and file. Since the Army is the largest component of the three wings of the Armed Forces, the problem is discussed from the Army's point of view.
Firstly, I think that the cause for the shortage is the constant pay degradation in the Army (and other two wings) since Independence. The civilian bureaucracy is doing a great job of ensuring our country is managed well and our teething troubles are addressed, and I have no problems with them being paid well by the government.
But I do request the reader to think about the challenges an Army man in an equivalent job has to go through for lesser pay. Secondly, we live in a time where there are many unresolved problems in our neighbourhood. The Armed Forces as a career option carries with it a risk where the chances of losing one's life is a real possibility. Perceiving these dangers, the aspiring and potential candidates for a career in the Army will have second thoughts, especially when there are far more promising careers in the private sector where there are no limits to luxury today.
Thirdly, delayed and inadequate compensation provided to the next of kin for the death or disability of soldiers. Here, unfortunately, some people in the media and a new breed of armchair activists have likened a soldier losing his life on the border with the death of a labourer.
These types of comments and opinions really do not help keep the morale of our Armymen high. They just hurt the sentiments of the families of the soldiers who live in civilian areas. Civilian deaths are compensated heavily by the governments. When a sportsperson gets a medal in international events by sweating it out, he or she is abundantly compensated by the governments, politicians and corporates.
But in the case of Army personnel, the government awards medals to soldiers for bravery during their life or posthumously, or for being wounded, or for proving their mettle when faced with extreme hardship and working in hostile areas for prolonged periods. Even then, a soldier's death does not get compensated commensurate with the noble sacrifice. In this regard, I have to congratulate actor Akshay Kumar who has resorted to crowdfunding to help the Army men's families.
Fourthly and finally, the constant stress on the mind and body of soldiers along with the fact that they live disconnected from their families lead to a very disrupted and unusual lifestyle. Infantry soldiers, who form a major portion of the Army, are separated from their families during most of their service because of postings to field areas. And even in peace stations, since the Army is called for aid by civil authorities for law and order and natural calamities, the lives are never normal. Army personnel and their families suffer from emotional deficiencies which have long- lasting
and sometimes irreversible effects.
All the usual events in the lives of regular people are glaringly absent from Army families: building a home, vacationing with family, caring for their old parents, helping their children with their schoolwork, building social groups with friends and families, attending events, etc.
If the above shortcomings are addressed, there may be abundant competition to join the Army resulting in adequate and right talent. We need to make the Army an attractive career option and address some of the major challenges that we have.
In this article I have discussed some of the reasons for our Army being short-staffed. My opinions on how we should go about addressing these issues are for another time. I want the reader to spare a thought for an aspiring Army cadet who is about to start a career in the Army.
A good and efficient Army is an imperative for a strong India—an India that aspires to lead the world in the future. Our people and our government must do everything to ensure the Army is staffed with the right people with the right skills to ensure our safety, security and pride.

The Best World Cup XI from the EPL
Now that the 21st World Cup in Russia has come to an end, all football fans are looking forward to the start of an exciting new Premier League season.
We're in the midst of a frenetic and limited transfer window in the Premier League, as speculation mounts surrounding a number of players, particularly those who shone during the summer.
If you had to choose your best World Cup XI from the EPL, which players would you pick? Here is our selection….
Jordan Pickford, Everton and England
Prior to the World Cup, Jordan Pickford wasn't even established as England's first choice number one, making his sensational goalkeeping performances in Russia even more impressive. Not only did he grow in stature and provide exceptional distribution throughout the football tournament, he also delivered crucial saves against Sweden and Croatia and perfectly demonstrated his first-rate shot stopping skills.
Kieran Trippier, Spurs and England
After heading to Russia as England's second choice for right back and arriving home with David Beckham comparisons ringing in his ears, it's evident Trippier has had a great tournament. He shone in the right wing-back role, creating twelve chances in his first tour games, delivering one assist and scoring a stunning free kick in the semi-final against Croatia. His set-piece delivery was second to none and he definitely deserves all the commendation he's getting.
Jan Vertonghen, Spurs and Belgium
While the powerful Spurs defender played as a left-sided centre-back for much of the tournament, he performed superbly as left-back during Belgium's impressive quarter-final win against Brazil. His strength when tackling and command of the ball shone through as the Red Devils earned a third-place finish, while his looping header against Japan triggered a thrilling comeback as Belgium overhauled a 2-0 deficit.
N'Golo Kante, Chelsea and France
N'Golo Kante was tireless during France's successful World Cup campaign, apart from a strangely subdued performance in the final. The Chelsea star certainly formed a formidable partnership with Paul Pogba in the middle of the park, while he also made twenty interceptions and won 73.3% of his tackles throughout the tournament. He also completed 88.4% of his 361 passes, as he constantly turned over the ball before distributing it in a admirably efficient manner.
Harry Maguire, Leicester City and England
A new generation of shining stars emerge from every World Cup and Harry Maguire is easily among this year's leading lights. Solid at the back, comfortable on the ball and a huge threat in the opposing penalty area, Maguire scored England's crucial opening goal in the 2-0 quarter-final win against Sweden. Maguire also made eighteen clearances during the tournament, while his pass completion rate of 88.8% was particularly impressive given his desire to move the ball forward at every opportunity.
Dejan Lovren, Liverpool and Croatia
Fans across the UK collectively scoffed when the much-maligned Dejan Lovren labelled himself as one of the best centre backs in the world, but his performances during the World Cup lent weight to his claim. The powerful defender completed 100% of his tackles throughout the tournament and also made thirty clearances as Croatia came under pressure during the knock-out games against Denmark, Russia and England.
Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City and Belgium
For the early part of the football tournament, the brilliant de Bruyne seemed frustrated in his deeper midfield role, struggling to influence games and replicate his Manchester City form. This changed in the knockout stages, with the superb midfielder influential in Belgium's comeback win against Japan and Brazil's stunning defeat. By the end of the tournament, de Bruyne boasts one goal and two assists, as well as twenty-three key passes in the final third.
Paul Pogba, Manchester United and France
For many, this was the tournament that finally saw the talented Paul Pogba come of age. He certainly assumed considerable responsibility in Didier Deschamps' young side, combining defensive steel and discipline with outstanding passing and a sustained goal threat. The all-round brilliance of Pogba's Russian performances are reflected in his statistics, which show him having completed 84.6% of his tackles, 80.2% of his 308 passes – an impressive 40.9% of which were played forward.
Romelu Lukaku, Manchester United and Belgium
While Harry Kane may have taken the Golden Boot, the quality and consistency of Lukaku's displays in the knockout stages see him get our number nine spot. He terrorised Brazil's defence during the Red Devils' quarter-final win, while his pace, movement and power proved too much for most football players to handle. Ultimately, he scored four goals from five shots on target in Russia, while also providing an assist and four key passes.
Eden Hazard, Chelsea and Belgium
Wantaway Chelsea forward Eden Hazard is the fourth Belgian star on our list and another who lived up to his billing on the biggest possible football stage. From his stunning close control and dribbling ability to supreme movement, Hazard dazzled throughout and was his side's main threat in the semi-final defeat against France. In addition to his three goals, Hazard also provided two assists and fifteen key passes, managing to keep the ball well with an 81.7% pass completion rate.
Son Heung-Min, Spurs and South Korea
While forward Son Heung-Min only featured in three World Cup games, he delivered every time he stepped onto the field and played a central role in his side's historic 2-0 win against defending champions Germany. Blessed with exceptional pace and movement, Son managed to score two goals during Korea's brief campaign and completed six key passes. In total, he boasted an impressive 86.5% pass success rate, which is excellent given that he played primarily as a central striker.

Vermont Route 279 (VT 279), often referred to as the Bennington Bypass, is a two and three-lane undivided northwest bypass of Bennington in Bennington County, Vermont, in the United States. It extends for roughly  from the New York state line northwest of Bennington to an intersection with VT 9 east of the downtown district. At its west end, VT 279 connects to New York State Route 915G (NY 915G), an unsigned reference route leading to NY 7 in Hoosick, New York.

The section of VT 279 west of U.S. Route 7 (US 7) officially opened to traffic in 2004; however, portions of the route have been open in some capacity since the 1970s. An extension of VT 279 southeast to VT 9 was completed in 2012, and planning is underway on another extension to US 7 south of downtown Bennington.

Route description

VT 279 begins at the New York–Vermont state line, where the road continues west to NY 7 in Hoosick, New York, as NY 915G, a reference route signed as "To VT 279" eastbound and "To NY 7" westbound. As VT 279, the highway heads northeast from the state line, passing through rural northwest Bennington as a three-lane road. It bypasses William H. Morse State Airport to the north and passes over a pair of local roadways on its way toward downtown Bennington, where the route crosses the Walloomsac River and meets VT 67A at a parclo interchange north of downtown.

Past VT 67A, the bypass widens to four lanes and becomes a divided highway as it passes over VT 7A and approaches a complex interchange with US 7. The route briefly overlaps with the limited-access highway before continuing eastward as a two-lane highway toward the western edge of Green Mountain National Forest. After , VT 279 turns southward, loosely paralleling the forest's west boundary as it bypasses the northeastern section of downtown Bennington. The route crosses the Roaring Branch of the Walloomsac River before ending at a half-completed single-point urban interchange (SPUI) with VT 9 east of downtown.

History

The four-lane portion of VT 279 between VT 67A and US 7 was built in the early 1970s and designated VT 67A Connector in 1974. However, construction did not begin on the remainder of the route west of VT 67A (including the short continuation into Hoosick, New York) until the early 2000s. Work on the bypass concluded with the opening of VT 279 on October 12, 2004. The number "279" was chosen because it provides a bypass for both US 7 and VT 9.

Construction on an extension of VT 279 southeast to VT 9 began in July 2007. The highway was built as a two-lane undivided roadway, similar to that constructed between Hoosick and Bennington. It was officially opened on August 30, 2012, and cost roughly $70 million to build. Construction plans for the northern segment called for the existing interchange between US 7 and VT 279 to be reconfigured to accommodate a welcome center located within the exit that was completed and officially opened on October 11, 2013.

Future
As recently as 2017, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) was planning on extending the Bennington Bypass (VT 279) southwestward from the interchange with VT 9 to US 7 south of downtown Bennington. The partial SPUI with VT 9 would be completed as part of the project, which is currently in the design stage.

Exit list
This list includes VT 279's continuation into New York as NY 915G.

Area Code Ponte de Sôr
City/Town or Region: Ponte de Sôr
242 (+351 242)
What is the area code for Ponte de Sôr?
The area code for Ponte de Sôr is 242. For the fictitious phone number 9988989 and the area code 242 the number to dial is 242 9988989. And Ponte de Sôr is located in Portugal.
The area code prefix assigns the phone number of a subscriber to a specific location. Other types of prefix exist in addition to the area code: International country prefixes, the prefixes of mobile phone providers and the prefixes of various services. These are combined to suit several purposes. When calling from one country to another in cases where the recipient of the call has a landline, the country prefix is combined with the area code and the number of the subscriber. For the fictitious phone number 9988989, the area code 242 (Ponte de Sôr) and the Country code 011351 the number to dial is 011351 242 9988989. If the call is to a mobile device, the Country code is combined with the mobile service provider's prefix and the number of the subscriber. If a call is made to a subscriber in the same country, the Country code can be omitted. In the case of national calls from one landline to another, the area code can also be omitted in many countries when both subscribers have the same area code. Particularly in countries where subscribers are able to keep the same telephone number after moving to another location or city, the area code – in this case 242 – must of course also be dialled.
Services that are accessed through service prefixes may incur charges not only from telecommunication companies, but also from the companies that offer these services. As a result, a number of dubious companies offer services that are of little use but incur high fees. In order to increase their profits still further, such services attempt to keep callers on the line for as long as possible. The supervisory authorities regularly take action against such providers, but that cannot be relied upon. In addition to special numbers that can be identified by means of their prefixes, there are also speed-dial numbers. The most well-known are the emergency number 112 in Europe and 911 in North America. These numbers can be used nationwide and need no prefixes, i.e. no Country code +351 (011351) or area code 242 (Ponte de Sôr).
If you are outside United States of America and you want to call a person in Ponte de Sôr, in addition to the area code, you need the Country code for the country you wish to call. The Country code for United States of America is +351 (011351), so if you are in United States of America and you want to call a person in Ponte de Sôr, you have to prefix that person's phone number with +351 242. For the fictitious phone number 9988989, the area code 242 (Ponte de Sôr) and the Country code 011351 the number to dial is 011351 242 9988989.

Fleetwood Mac | November 3rd, 2019 (New Date)
Fleetwood Mac Reschedules Performance at Wells Fargo Center to November 3
TICKETS PURCHASED FOR ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED SHOW (4/5/19) WILL BE HONORED ON NEW TOUR DATE (11/3/19)
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Legendary, GRAMMY-award winning band Fleetwood Mac today announced that their postponed Friday, April 5 performance at Wells Fargo Center has been rescheduled for Sunday, November 3.
All previously held tickets for the originally scheduled show will be honored at the new show on Sunday, November 3. Additional tickets are available for purchase online at WellsFargoCenterPhilly.com, by phone at 1-800-298-4200, or in person at the Wells Fargo Center box office.
The tour kicked off last fall and has traveled to more than 50 cities in North America. After European and Australian shows, the final North American dates will take place in Fall of 2019. Produced by Live Nation, the tour has met with rave reviews from fans and critics alike to the new line-up of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie along with newcomers Mike Campbell and Neil Finn.
Fleetwood Mac was founded by Peter Green in 1967 and was named after Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. After Peter Green left in 1969, Fleetwood and McVie remained as original members, and the band has since featured a cast of brilliant talents. Most notably, Christine McVie joined the band in 1970, with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joining in 1974. The enduring spirit of Fleetwood Mac stands for an incredible body of great music that has connected with generations of people all over the world for more than 50 years. Fleetwood Mac has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and the GRAMMY-award winning band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.

Brooklyn-bred Cyndi Lauper sounds like no other singer on the current scene. She may be the finest female junk-rock vocalist since the heyday of the great Maureen Gray, more than twenty years ago. Like Gray, a black Philadelphian who had a string of local hits in the Sixties, Lauper has a wild and wonderful skyrocket of a voice–the epitome of pre-Beatles girl-group pop–and at her best, as she often is on this smartly produced solo debut, she sounds like a missing musical link with that long-gone golden age.

Early on Friday, December 19, Actors Theatre announced via press release that it will shutter after 29 years.
"The simple truth is we're out of money," Actors Theatre board president Renee Gerstman says in the release.
The professional company's board of directors voted to liquidate the theater and immediately stop productions, the next of which would've been Annapurna in January. Refunds won't be granted for tickets purchased for that show and all other upcoming Actors Theatre productions. "Though we would like to say we will refund those tickets, we simply can't," Gerstman says. "We're hoping that our patrons and supporters will consider taking the expense as a tax deduction after consultation with their accountants or CPAs."
"We recognized that what Actors Theatre does and, most importantly, the way we do it is not sustainable in our community at this time," says longtime artistic director Matthew Wiener in the release. "Among our strongest guiding principles is to pay everyone - and that includes artists and arts workers - a living wage. The economic dignity of our all of our artists and arts workers is one of our highest values, but our donor base and individual and season ticket sales were not substantial enough to provide the financial resources to support the cost structure of professional artists to the degree it needed to be."
Actors Theatre ran into major financial problems in 2012, leaving a residency at Herberger Theater Center and taking a hiatus to reevaluate its business plan. The company returned in fall of 2013 with A Steady Rain and then bounced between theaters for shows throughout its 2013-14 season. It then settled at Black Theatre Troupe's Helen K. Mason Performing Arts Center for its 2014-15 season, which included Good People and a summer stock season.
"We are incredibly proud of Actors Theatre's legacy over nearly 30 years," Wiener says. "We know that many patrons left most of our productions affected by and talking about what they saw on stage. Perhaps we will again see those or similar productions and the high professional quality of what went on both on and behind the stage. In the meantime, and in spite our deep, deep sadness at this time, we do know that there are many great arts and cultural opportunities in the Valley. Perhaps we will be part of them again sometime in the future."

Q: Reflection and runtime class to get method Actually in all my class, i alway have attribute name
Class clazz, Object obj
When we know the object type, we can do something like (if id is a attribute....)
Integer id = ((BaseObj) field.get(obj)).getId();

Actually
field.get(obj))
return me a object, i search to get value of name attribute of this object.
I search to do something like
String name = ((clazz.getClass()) field.get(obj)).getName();

A: You cannot cast to a class that's only known at runtime. Either make all these classes implement an interface with a getName() method or you'll have to resort to reflection:
String name = (String) clazz.getMethod("getName").invoke(obj);

Pro-abortion activists protesting Texas' strict abortion laws.Photo byPhoto by Gayatri Malhotra/Unsplash
Texas Governor Greg Abbott dashed hopes that he might revisit the state's near-total ban against abortions to allow the procedure in cases of rape and incest, despite overwhelming support for the exceptions, according to an interview with the State of Texas news show which aired Sunday.
Correspondent Monica Madden asked the Governor twice whether he would propose a revision of the law to include exceptions for rape and incest. In his first response, Abbott deflected, saying that he would focus on "protecting the life of the mother." When Madden repeated her question adding that recent polls show that 80% of voters in the Republican stronghold support the exceptions, Abbott said "My focus is on protecting both the life of the mother as well as the life of the baby."
This was Abbott's first direct indication that he would not support adding rape and incest to the ban's only exception. He has previously declined to definitively state his position or has commented that the state would work to "eliminate all rapists," and advised rape and incest victims to take emergency contraceptives.
Texas has one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, Senate Bill 8, which Abbott signed into law in March 2021. It prohibits the procedure after six weeks – before most women know they're pregnant – except when the mother's life is at risk.
The interview with Abbott was conducted on the eve of his victory in the midterm elections but was not aired until Sunday when it was broadcast statewide.
Abbott secured a decisive 55%-44% win against his challenger, Democrat Beto O'Rourke, retaining his seat for a third term. O'Rourke had made abortion the cornerstone of his campaign, along with gun violence and school shootings.
Ahead of the elections, Republican candidates who were in tight races, and even staunchly conservative Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, said they would consider expanding the ban's exceptions to include rape and incest when the Texas Legislature reconvenes in January. But without the Governor's support, any such move would likely fail.
Democrats dismissed the Republicans' comments as campaign gimmicks, but the candidates' strategies were in line with several polls conducted last summer which surprisingly but consistently showed that voters in the Red state favored exceptions for rape, incest, and sometimes in cases of poverty. The polls were reviewed by The Texas Tribune.
In the interview, Abbott sought to assuage at least some fears and criticisms of the law, reiterating that he would suggest that the Legislature revise SB-8's language to clarify that medical providers should treat pregnant patients suffering from complications.
"There is a deep misunderstanding apparently about what it means to protect the life of the mother," Abbott said. "There are some doctors who say that they don't have the authority to treat things like ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages or infections or some other dangers that mothers are going through and I believe that's unacceptable."
"I'll be keenly focused on … both clarifying and making sure that the state is doing everything we possibly can to protect the life of the mother," he said.
But Abbott did not clarify whether such treatment would include terminating complicated pregnancies, nor did he say he would suggest that the Legislature consider allowing the treatment of lethal fetal abnormalities, a condition in which the fetus is not viable and perishes during pregnancy or shortly after.
As it stands, SB-8 has caused the medical community to deny or delay treatment and medications to women with pregnancy complications for fear of prosecution. The anti-abortion law allows private citizens to sue anyone who provides or assists in an abortion procedure for at least $10,000. That means doctors, nurses, clinic staff, transporters like Uber drivers, and friends who gift money or lodgings can all be sued by anyone, including strangers. Patients cannot be sued.
The interview also touched on whether Abbott would consider a presidential run in 2024. Asked whether he would complete his term as governor Abbott said, "I sure am. I'm committed to the great state of Texas."
Good thing too, since a call-in poll to the popular political talk show What's Your Point? which is beamed in Harris County and has a largely Republican following, had 96% of its callers against such a run.

Q: How to instantiate seesion before unit testing execution so that autowired session in service class creates bean corectly? How to instantiate seesion before unit testing execution so that autowired session in service class creates bean correctly ?
My test uses some methods from a service class. This service class method uses an autowired session. The point is that i don't know how to create/inject into the session in the test (or before it) so that the session bean creates correctly in the service with the details i set beforehand.
The session class looks like this:
@Component
@Scope(value = "session", proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public class UserSession {
 Long idUser;
 //...other

 //geters and seters
}

Test class:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {Application.class})
public class MyTestClass{

 @Autowired
 private UserSession session;

 @Autowired
 private MyServiceClass myServiceClass;

   @Test
   public void myTestMethod() {
   ....
   //This is where i wanted to set some session detailes
   //Something like this:
   session.setUserRolls(...);

   myServiceClass.myServiceMethod();

   }
}

In my service class i have something like this:
@Service
public class MyServiceClass{

@Autowired
private UserSession session;

private void myServiceMethod(){
 ....
 List <UserRol> rolls = session.getUserRolls();
 //in this case i want to retrieve user rolls from session object
 //
 //now i get an error in my current implementation that looks like this
 //Error: no Scope registered for scope name "session"
 }
}

A: The only thing you should do is to put @WebAppConfiguration before your test class:
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@SpringApplicationConfiguration(classes = {Application.class})
@WebAppConfiguration
public class MyTestClass{
......
}

Inside the class you should inject your session class using @autowired exactly like you did.
After that inside your test, before you call your service function, you can set your session details using setters. The details will be visible inside your service so everything should work just fine.
The presence of @WebAppConfiguration on your test class instructs the TestContext framework (TCF) that a WebApplicationContext (WAC) should be loaded for your tests, so that will give you session scoped beans.

A: IMHO trying to autowire a session scoped bean in a unit test is bad design. Normal unit testing should be possible by mocking the bean. With mock framework like mockito, you can even control that methods have been called with the expected parameters.
If you need actual interaction with that bean - but it is now an integration test - you should manually build the bean the way it should look like in the use case you are testing, and manually inject it into the service class you are testing.
Anyway, having dependencies on a session scoped bean (isn't it controller of view layer?) inside a service bean (should be service layer) smells. It may be a perfectly correct design, but you really should think twice about that, mainly if it is now hard to test.
Don't forget: test should remain as simple as possible. If they cannot, look again at your general design.

A: You can use the Spring MockMVC framework and add a @WebAppConfiguration, that will give you session scoped beans.
Look at this example How to test a spring controller method by using MockMvc?

Book Review: By Midnight By Mia James
Title: By Midnight
Author: Mia James
Publisher: Orion
Summary: APRIL DUNNE is not impressed.
She's had to move from Edinburgh to Highgate, London, with her parents. She's left her friends-and her entire life-behind.
She has to start at a new school and, worst of all, now she's stuck in a creepy old dump of a house which doesn't even have proper mobile phone reception.
Ravenwood is a prestigious academy for gifted (financially or academically) students- and the only place her parents could find on incredibly short notice. So she's stuck with the super-rich, and the super-smart...and trying to fit in is more than tough.
It's intimidating and isolating, even when she finds a friend in the conspiracy-theorist Caro Jackson- and perhaps finds something more than friendship in the gorgeous, mysterious Gabriel Swift.
But there's more going on at Ravenwood than meets the eye.
Practical jokes on new students are normal, but when Gabriel saves her from...something...in Highgate Cemetery, and then she discovers that a murder took place just yards away from where she had been standing, April has to wonder if something more sinister is going on.
...and whether or not she's going to live through it...
Review: This was the first YA novel that I'd ever read that was based in England.
April Dunne is originally from Edinburgh and she's had to move to Highgate, London, leaving everything she's ever known behind in Edinburgh.
What I loved about this is that I can relate to the places.
Edinburgh is one of my favourite cities so I can understand why she's sad to leave.
What also had a huge impact on me is the reason April had to move to London.
Her family moved because her journalist dad lost his job on 'The Scotsman' and relocated to Hampstead, London.
As a trained journalist this was something else I could associate with.
April is an ordinary teen, whose been taken away from her friends.
So she's obviously your average wayward teen who feels like her life is over as she's been taken away from her friends and the life she's always loved.
She's a character that you can't help but love.
Another character that I fell for just as April did is Gabriel.
I'm not usually one for the mysterious types but there's something loveable yet intriguing about him.
The one thing that I was a little unsure of was how close some of the text is to Twilight. With similar descriptions between April and Gabriel, to that of Bella and Edward.
The description of this novel is amazing, the imagery makes you feel like you're experiencing what April is. The setting of the graveyard makes you scream at April. Why would you want to be alone in a graveyard after dark?
Ravenwood is a prestigious academy for gifted students. This is also the only place her parents could get her into. But is there more to the academy?
The twists and sadder parts of this book are intense and emotional.
I really felt for April you just want to hug her.
I didn't realise there would be anymore books in this series and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Our latest endeavour with Rugby Canada was the development of a complete training series for their Rookie Rugby program - aimed at helping kids and coaches fine tune their skills on the pitch! In all the project called for 25 individual videos, showcasing different aspects of the game and skill techniques to go with them.
With the invaluable help of the Rugby Canada and USA Rugby staff, we built out complete scripts along with a shoot plan to keep everyone organized. And like clockwork, our team worked with the kids and coaches to complete the drills one-by-one, ensuring we had all of the angles covered by placing one camera on a boom for a bird's eye view! Using the slo-motion capabilities of our gear, we were able to record every frame of the play to give us flexibility in post-production.
Once in editing, we carefully followed the script to highlight the key facets of each drill, and used some custom-designed graphics to call out the important learning points throughout. While it makes for a slow and meticulous process to ensure every video is a perfect portrait of proper technique, we're always happy to take the time to do the job right.
You can take a look at more videos in the series over on the Rookie Rugby website!
It's no secret that rugby is one of the toughest games on the planet, demanding the best of its athletes both physically and mentally. But with concussions very much in the spotlight, and player welfare always at the top of mind for coaches and officials, Rugby Canada has revamped their PlaySmart program – and asked us to create a video that introduces the program to an online audience.
Once we developed the script in collaboration with Rugby Canada staff, our team attended a number of community games, training sessions and international events (including the Canada Sevens World Series stop in Vancouver) to capture all of the people who hold a stake in player safety – from players young and old to fans and referees. That meant maintaining a consistent look and feel across a number of different venues, while also helping our interviewees understand the context of their lines to help the final product flow.
In editing, we ensured the pace was quick and lively while also delivering a message that is paramount to all involved in the sport. This piece points users to a website that offers training tips, injury prevention and concussion awareness information that will help Canadian players (and those abroad, as well) to play safe and PlaySmart.
With the HSBC Women's Rugby Sevens in full swing at Westhills Stadium in Langford, the team at Rugby Canada invited us to capture the action during the intermissions, where kids from across the capital region were showing off a new youth program - Rookie Rugby. It wasn't difficult to build off of the energy in the park, and that made for the perfect environment for this promo shoot.
We really wanted to convey the fun the kids were having during the game, and knew that the best way was to hop right into the middle of the action! While most of our shoots require a bit of a workout, chasing the kids around the pitch at WestHills Stadium with our AllSteady Pro gimbal was cardio training to the max.
Kids also present a whole new set of challenges when it comes to interviews, but we chatted with a half dozen of the players as soon as they got off the field, and their reviews of Rookie Rugby were glowing. It's a great chance to learn the basics, grow their skill sets and make some friends.
The national team athletes spoke just as highly about the flag football program, and it's clear that the next generation of rugby players in this country will be on the right track with Rookie Rugby.
We teamed up with the national rugby program to help raise funds for their plan to construct a training facility adjacent to the Rugby Canada office in Langford. The goal was to outline the growth of the program over the past five years, and how such a building would propel the organization on to even greater stages in the years ahead.
In a brief window between matches and training, we borrowed the services of Harry Jones, Justin Douglas, Brittany Benn & Bianca Farella to show us what it's like to be in the middle of the action. We spend a hot summer after running around the pitch at Westhills Stadium, capturing various training routines with the help of our AllSteady Pro 6 gimbal. We also attended a couple of on-field and off-field training sessions with the entire team to add a little extra energy to the clip.
Then we captured aerial images of the facility site with our DJI Inspire 1 drone, and used Google SketchUp and After Effects to overlay the planned mockup from de Hoog & Kierulf.
With a few game highlights to add one final blast of energy, we polished off this piece that will be leveraged at pitches and presentations across the country on the road to construction!


I took over for the kind of MSP that gives MSPs a bad name. He was charging the client $900 / month for unlimited support, proactive patches, security, etc. Stuff hasn't been patched since 2015, he has them all running Security Essentials except for the Windows XP machines, which have nothing, except free versions of Malwarebytes that haven't been updated in years. The "firewall" is a Server 2003 Small Business server running internet connection sharing. Which by the way has no usable backups and is their only file server. -and the list goes on.
At any rate, he wants the owner to tell him why he's not happy. The owner called me in because his office manager didn't have email for 4 days because her .pst got corrupt and he was charging them for a pop mail service.
At some point I'm going to have to deal with the guy because he registered the domain with his email address (admin,billing, and tech contact) and we need to get the domain transferred so I can get them on Office 365.
If you were in the situation, would you tell them how far away from best practices they were?
If he was charging them for patches and such and it wasn't being done... That's not "far away from best practices" that is the guy is charging them for stuff he didn't do!
I would suggest that you get the domain information and such transferred and then explain to this guy what he is doing wrong.
I don't feel that you should explain why the company decided to move on. That said it will come up as you work with that person at some point.
The Owner could claim compliance issues and that critical business functions were broken even though services were promised.
The owner should have / be documenting all breaches of contracted services.


For all of their roaring, growling, and ferociousness, lions are family animals and truly social in their own communities. They usually live in groups of 15 or more animals called prides. Prides can be as small as 3 or as big as 40 animals. In a pride, lions hunt prey, raise cubs, and defend their territory together.

Like cars and clothes, hairstyles are changing constantly. A slice that was after the rage starts to look dated as a brand new, new hairstyle took its place. Below are a few of the very most modern, latest hair styles being noticed today.
Womens hair styles are viewing a go back to soft, female waves. Stiff, over-styled curly hair has gone out of fashion, and moving, natural locks happens to be in style. Stick straight curly hair has lost recognition and only the softer latest hair styles. Eliminated will be the times of the zigzag part. Todays locks parts are simple, directly and down the middle.
Long hair is one of the latest hairstyles for females. While shorter curly hair was the style for quite some time, celebrities have started to wear curly hair longer and much longer and women almost everywhere have taken notice and are following a trend.
Long, easy layers are also gathering popularity, in response to the pattern for much longer, softer hair. The slashes featuring short, choppy curly hair are no more in style.
Ponytails are being seen everywhere this year, however, not the teeny-bopper style ponytails perched on top of the mind. The latest hair styles feature locks swept back to low ponytails.
Full hair with lots of volume is a different one of the latest hairstyle trends for girls. This look works for just about any type of curly hair: directly, curly, short or long.
For ladies who love the right look, Japanese Hair Straightening is a chemical substance process that can change the curliest locks into direct, silken tresses. This technique has been getting a great deal of reputation lately. Also called Thermal Reconditioning, this technique uses warmth to straighten frizzy hair.
Japanese Curly hair Styling happens to be quite costly, even though locks that is straightened should stay right, the procedure must be repeated as new, frizzy hair grows out.
The most recent hairstyles feature lustrous, dark colored hair. Highlights are still seen but have lost quite a little of popularity, and the pattern is moving towards curly hair dyed one color throughout.
Just like womens styles have shifted, mens styles are changing also. Perhaps the perhaps most obviously tendency in the latest hair styles is longer locks for men.
While brief styles have ruled for some time, much longer hair is returning for men. Mens long styles should keep a thin silhouette, not bushy and full. In todays mens long hair styles, the curly hair skims the shoulder blades and it is worn back again, not dropping onto the facial skin.
Among the latest hair styles for mens brief curly hair is to slice the locks with longer levels at the top and shorter levels at the edges and back again of the top.
Just like retro clothing has gained popularity, seventies hairstyles are making a comeback also, with direct hair parted down the center now being seen on men.
Like womens styles in haircolor, the latest hairstyles for men include dying the hair darker, with fewer highlights being seen.

Clemson Baseball- 2019 Season Review
A season that started out with a bang, ended with a dud.
After reaching the 40 win plateau and hosting regionals in each of his first three seasons, many Tiger baseball fans thought 2019 was the time for the program to take that next step. The last time the storied program made a Super Regional was 2010, and this fan base is itching to see that drought end.
In my season preview over at STS, before Spencer Strider was lost for the season, I said,
"This team will go as far as the pitching takes it. If the freshman come in ready, and are able to compete and produce at this level, this team has all the makings of a super regional caliber team. If not, it's possible they're still one more year away"
As we all know now, none of the freshman arms were ready. Not ready to contribute at a high level for an entire season anyways. As great as Davis Sharpe was much of the season, he seemed to hit that "freshman wall" down the stretch, and just wasn't as effective as he had been over the first half of the season.
The upperclassmen weren't any better. Brooks Crawford never could find that gear he got into down the stretch of the 2018 season. He ended up spending much of his time on the mound with his back turned to the plate, as he repeatedly watched his pitches get deposited into the outfield stands. Crawford ended up allowing 11 long balls in just 42.2 IP and had an ERA of almost 7.00.
After being so impressive in the Friday night role for much of 2018, Jacob Hennessy was very "hit and miss" in 2019. He was the utter definition of inconsistent. One day he's pitching lights out and the next he's getting tattooed.
Having lost two starting pitchers before the season started, it was imperative that one of either Crawford or Hennessy step up and be one of those guys you could count on to give you a quality start most weekends, and that just didn't happen. Mat Clark eventually had to be moved out of the bullpen and into the rotation.
Clark did go on to be the Tigers most consistent starting pitcher, but his absence in that bullpen created a void that never got filled. Clark would've played the role Ryan Miller played in the pen in 2018. That guy that can come into any situation and get the job done. Whether you needed one out or four or five innings. Instead, this team didn't have that guy.
Without Clark, the staff had to rely on Sam Weatherly, Holt Jones, and Owen Griffith to handle the middle relief and get the ball to closer Carson Spiers. That strategy worked for about half the season, but using the same three guys, game after game, eventually caught up to them, and overuse started to become a factor.
Holt Jones and Owen Griffith both ended up flat out gassed coming down the stretch. It seemed neither could even throw a strike. Depending on three pitchers to handle the middle relief and setup roles just isn't the recipe for success.
This team ended up going precisely as far as the pitching took them. When the arms were fresh, this team was hard to beat. Once that lack of depth started to show and fatigue started creeping in, this team struggled to win games.
We can talk about the teams approach at the plate until we're blue in the face. Yes, they strike out a ton. Yes, they strand a lot of baserunners. Yes, they rarely bunt guys over. Whether you agree with that approach or not, that's just the way it's going to be under this staff.
This is still baseball though and it always comes back to the pitching. It starts there and ends there. This team scored 6.5 runs per game and hit close to .270 as a team, so the offense isn't as bad as some tend to think.
Until this team gets more pitching depth, this is where we're at. Contrary to popular opinion, that's something that just can't be fixed overnight. The good news is, on paper it seems as next season there should be some depth to work with.
Raffield and Strider will be back from injury, although expect both to be brought along slowly. Davis Sharpe and Mat Clark will be back. Keyshawn Askew and Jackson Lindley will have a season of experience. Highly touted freshman Mack Anglin and Geoffrey Gilbert will be in the mix as well. That's a lot of guys competing for just four rotation spots.
Then you have Sam Weatherly, Holt Jones, and Jacob Hennessy to round out the staff. And lastly, let's not forget DJ Uiagalelei, the five star QB that also has a fastball topping out in the mid 90's. He is expected to be a part of the 2020 team, and he's not planning to put in all that double duty just to be a spectator. He'll have a shot at landing a role in that bullpen as well.
Was the 2019 season what we as fans expect from this Clemson Baseball program? Absolutely not. After overachieving his first three years, it's safe to say the 2019 team underachieved. It was a frustrating season to watch unfold. All is not lost however. There's a lot of talent to work with in 2020, especially arm talent. Can this coaching staff right the ship and show that last season was just a minor bump in the road?

Dakota pipeline now pumping oil
The controversial Dakota Access Pipeline of the Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners began operations Thursday. It is now carrying oil from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois, per the AP. The oil has started shipping for customers.
Context: It's a grim day for environmentalists — the massive pipeline that was halted under Obama but approved by Trump is starting up the same day Trump is to announce whether he will pull out of the Paris climate deal limiting global carbon emissions. Read Axios' scoop on how Trump has made his decision to withdraw from the accord.
The pushback: Sioux tribes in North and South Dakota are still in federal court working to shut down the pipeline, which they fear could pollute water sources.

Putin foe Navalny to be detained for 30 days after returning to Moscow
Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny. Photo: Oleg Nikishin/Epsilon/Getty Images
Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny has been ordered to remain in pre-trial detention for 30 days, following his arrest upon returning to Russia on Sunday for the first time since a failed assassination attempt last year.
Why it matters: The detention of Navalny, an anti-corruption activist and the most prominent domestic critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has already set off a chorus of condemnations from leaders in Europe and the U.S.


During this experience of visiting the elephants in the park, you will follow the elephants into the grasslands beside the river, where the mahouts cut and collect the grass for the elephants to eat during the day. While watching the elephants grazing in the morning mist, you can enjoy a steaming cup of traditional Nepali tea. You can even have a go at cutting and binding the grass yourself—it's harder than the mahouts make it look!
In the late afternoon, when the temperature is pleasant, go for a walk in the jungle with the elephants and their mahouts. You will be walking alongside the elephants, watching how they move, what they eat, and listening to their communication, which consists of rumbling and trumpeting. The naturalist will explain everything you want to know about the surrounding eco-system as you move through the jungle, grassland, and wetlands with the elephants. You'll have the chance of encountering tiger tracks, deer, various species of birds, and maybe a rhino or two, depending on the route you take.
You'll be surrounded by elephants living in a spacious, chain-free environment. You'll be immersed in the elephants' daily life all day; even after dark, you will feel the elephants' presence through their verbal and infrasonic communications.
Mixing outdoor and jungle activities with a healthy dash of comfort and service, this trip will take you through the best of Nepal—with time for both adrenaline rushes and relaxation. The adventure starts in Kathmandu with a flight over the mountains, continues to the country's oldest temples, and leaves time for views of the Annapurna range, where thirteen peaks scrape the sky. Two days of rafting send you through the jungle to finally discover the abundant wildlife of Chitwan National Park.
This tour combines three of Nepal's most famous regions—Everest, Pokhara, and Chitwan. You'll start with a short multi-day trek into the heart of the Everest region to Namche Bazaar for views of Mount Everest. Returning to Kathmandu, you'll fly to Pokhara for a bit of relaxation and optional day tours into the surrounding hills. Finally, you'll head south to Nepal's jungle in Chitwan, to experience the wildlife and unique cultures of this region.
This tour takes you into the heart of the Everest region, staying in Sherpa villages along the way, including a spectacular helicopter flight by Mt. Everest. Then, you'll head south to Nepal's jungle and to Buddha's birthplace in Lumbini. To break up the drive from Kathmandu to Chitwan, you'll take a short rafting trip and overnight at a cozy resort in the village of Kurintar.
This multi-activity tour is a perfect combination of adventure and culture featuring historic villages, wildlife, and some down time. You'll explore the Kathmandu Valley's popular attractions before flying to Pokhara to begin your multi-day trek through the Annapurna foothills.
