After nearly a year, Georgia's gas tax is back. Here's what you need to know.
It has been nearly a year since Georgia Governor Brian Kemp first suspended the statewide gas tax. At midnight on Tuesday, it is set to go back into effect.
The Georgia Legislature passed a bipartisan bill to suspend the gas tax in March 2022, and the governor subsequently signed it.
The initial suspension lasted through May and cost the state between $300 million and $400 million in revenue.
Removing the state tax saved Georgians about 30 cents per gallon for gas and 33 cents for diesel.
Georgia drivers have enjoyed lowest-in-the-nation gas prices during much of the time the gas tax was suspended. Fuel experts expect Georgia gas prices to still remain among the country's cheapest. However, gas prices everywhere are rising.
"The wholesale price of gasoline is also up eights cents a gallon as is the price of oil so you may see gas prices going up by more than the 31 cent a gallon tax hike because gas prices move because of more than just one reason," said Patrick De Haan with GasBuddy.
However, not all gas stations will have to raise their prices at the same time.

"As long as those stations bought gas before Wednesday it will not have been taxed," said De Haan, "and that may mean the prices may not be as abrupt or as significant as they otherwise would be."
Georgia collects an estimated $2 billion a year from the gas tax, and that money goes toward state and local roads. A state surplus has helped fund infrastructure.
"It's essential," said Danny Kanso, Director of Legislative Strategy and Senior Fiscal Analyst at Georgia Budget and Policy Institute. "It's really a user fee where folks who are directly on the roadways are helping to contribute to their maintenance and make sure we have an infrastructure that can support our state."

Mum whose baby was covered in acne claims £7.99 coconut oil 'cured' the condition
Little Henry Holdsworth was just three weeks old when his skin erupted in spots on his cheeks.
Soon his mum Alex noticed the spots were covering his entire body.
After trying everything – even washing his face in breast milk after reading online that it could help – Alex, from Kettering, Northamptonshire, decided to try a coconut oil from a baby skin care range.
Within a day, she claims, his skin was clear.
"His entire body was covered in acne. He had proper whiteheads, like a spotty teenager," Alex, 31, said.
"The acne was clearly irritating him, too, as he'd scratch so much he'd bleed. When I first heard about the oil, made by a brand called Kokoso, I wasn't sure.
"Oil is something I cook a fry up with, so I thought it'd clog his skin even more, but I figured it was worth a try and couldn't believe it when I could see the redness disappearing before my eyes."
Henry's big brother, Freddie, now four, also broke out into acne as a baby – although it was only on his cheeks.
Alex recalled that although the spots were "really quite bad", they did eventually subside after Alex spent ages washing his face in breast milk.
"It didn't have much of an effect, though. It dried his spots out, but the redness remained, and then the milk would go all crusty.
"I ended up just washing his face every day with water.
"I was a first time mum with this perfect baby, who all of a sudden, was covered in acne.
"In the world we live in today, you do feel paranoid about nasty comments, and I was worried what people would say.
Why do babies get acne?
It's not just teenagers and unlucky adults who get acne – it's actually really common for babies to break out in spots too.
They can be born with it but usually, it develops within a couple of weeks after birth.
It occurs in roughly 20 per cent of newborns.
It's not clear as to why some babies get it but some experts believe that it may be caused by the hormones babies receive from their mums at the end of the pregnancy.
usually appears as red bumps or pimples, but whiteheads can also develop and reddish skin might surround the bumps
tends to be on the cheeks but can also develop on the upper back or neck
it can itchy and irritating – and it can be made more pronounced if your baby is already distressed
There isn't any definitive treatment and for most, baby acne tends to disappear without any action.
Paediatricians might prescribe a medicated cream to help if it doesn't clear up in but parents are advised not to apply any kind of over the counter steroid cream as babies have incredibly sensitive skin.
Advice:
don't squeeze the spots
don't scrub your baby's skin – pat their face dry
skip the lotions and cream as they might irritate their skin further
avoid using any harsh products, including scented soaps or bubble baths
If you're worried, always consult your GP
"When we went out, I'd see strangers staring at him, not knowing whether or not to say something."
Alex soon welcomed another son with husband Ben, who didn't have acne at all but who now does have eczema. When their third son, Henry, was born in August this year, the spots erupted almost immediately.
She said: "I wasn't expecting it this time, as Charlie hadn't had it, so when I saw the acne start I thought, 'Oh god.'"
"Then he woke up one morning totally covered. It was all over his entire body, especially his torso.
"I was worried it was something more, as it looked very rash-like, so I took him to the doctors but was reassured that it was just acne."
As Henry's case was so much more severe than Freddie's, Alex didn't want to simply wait for it to clear up on its own.
Again, Alex tried to use breastmilk again – but it made no difference.
Driven to distraction by itching, little Henry would scratch his face, leaving his skin bleeding.
"We had to put him in mittens in the end. He got all these proper whiteheads too. You could see how deep they were."
Finally, Alex came across coconut oil-based skincare company Kokoso after chatting with a friend.
Initially worried that the oil might clog his pores up and make things worse, Alex used a little of the stuff and claims that Henry's skin improved almost immediately.
Is coconut oil good for skin?
Coconut oil might be good for spotty babies…
Coconut oil has been used for centuries by many communities as a skincare aid, as well as a cooking agent.
It's packed with vitamin E, proteins and various anti-fungal acids.
As well as being antimicrobial (meaning that it can kill off any surface bacteria), it's also known for soothing rashes, speeding up your skin's healing processes and repairing your skin's natural barrier (thanks to all that saturated fat).
…but if you're an acne-prone adult, it's probably not for you
Coconut oil has a really high comedogenic rating – meaning that it can clog pores. Sure, it locks moisture in and hydrates your skin really well initially but the more clogged your pores get, the drier your skin can become.
So it's definitely worth trying – especially if you've exhausted other options like Alex – but if you're an adult acne sufferer, use with caution.
After that, she ordered a pot of coconut oil as well as a baby hair and body wash – using it on Charlie's eczema as well as Henry's spots and her own complexion.
Just a day after using the products, she says that the spots on Henry's body had totally vanished.
"The ones on his face were a different type of spot, so they hadn't gone altogether, but the redness had improved so much," she added. "I couldn't believe how quick the transformation was."
"He gets the odd little spot, but now I just tell people it's baby acne, and get it out there myself before they can say anything.
"He's so much more comfortable now and such a happy little baby."
Kokoso founder Lauren Taylor, 39, who discovered the benefits of coconut oil when her own baby daughter had dry skin problems, said: "When I found this lovely coconut oil helped my own daughter, I just wanted to share it with all other parents, so their own children could benefit too.
"I'm so pleased to hear it's helped clear up little Henry's spotty skin."

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the cancellation of Bendigo Autumn Music due to far lower than expected ticket sales.
Red Square Music wants to thank all the incredible partners, sponsors, artists, staff and ticket buyers who took a leap of faith and came along the journey. It's been one of the most difficult calls the promoter has ever had to make but unfortunately it's just not viable for us to produce the festival & line up through next month.
We have been working on this event over two years now with the belief that the event would be an amazing success and a brilliant addition to Australia's regional music festival calendar. We had an amazing location and venues, the lineup was really strong and we had some very good media coverage, extensive advertising and promotion, but simply no traction and conversion to ticket sales, despite the event being on sale for eight months.
With only 30 days until the event, we have had to make the responsible decision and cancel 4 weeks out, in order to give artists, those that did purchase tickets, and our partners, adequate notice.
We'll be processing all refunds over the next few days and those that purchased tickets through our website will be refunded by Tuesday 2nd April, and should appear in your accounts within 24 hours. Those that purchased tickets from Capital Venues and Events should contact them directly to arrange for refund.
We thank you for your support and are sorry for any inconvenience.

Desperate times call for...
Blog 12 Oct 2011
Chief Executive, RSA
The shocking unemployment statistics demand a proper response from our political class but will we see it?
Largely because the media exploit any such admission, politicians are loath to admit that their judgements are often fine and that all significant policy decisions involve risks and downsides as well as benefits. As a former Government advisor and a long time policy wonk I know that any honest evaluation of a policy decision involves weighing up good and bad points; if there was a policy out there that had only benefits it would have been identified and implemented a long time ago.
Today the Government is blaming the global financial crisis for the unemployment statistics while Labour (a cogent but slightly too cheerful Liam Byrne) is calling on George Osborne to adopt the Opposition's five point recovery plan. Both Parties claim their approach is entirely right and the other side's totally wrong. Neither claim is true. More importantly, neither offers any comfort to the almost one in five 16-24 year olds now out of work.
In such extreme circumstances it is worth the thought experiment of exploring the what the political parties might do now if they genuinely put the public interest first.
In economic terms, there is little question the Coalition could press its foot less hard on the austerity pedal and put more money into jobs, wages and purses without being grossly irresponsible. This seems to be the majority view of economists, and even international bodies like the IMF are warning that austerity could be self-defeating. But the Government is also right when it says that credibility is important in volatile markets. An apparent fiscal u-turn in the UK could be portrayed as panic or the beginning of a bigger political capitulation and this could lead, among other things, to an increase in the interest we have to pay on our national borrowing.
In this equation, politics matter. The recent gridlock in America had a direct impact on the country's economic rating and on the markets. So, if the Coalition and Labour were to agree a package which combined a short term injection of public funding with a cross-party agreement to stick to a now slightly extended period of fiscal balancing it could powerfully reassure markets that the UK isn't about to give up the ghost on getting the finances under control. The Coalition is the elected Government so it would be its prerogative to determine the content of the growth package, but Labour could show statesmanship (which surely wouldn't do Ed Miliband's credibility any harm) by supporting the general thrust of the package and being measured in its criticisms and alternatives.
The Osborne phrase 'We're all in this together' is now used exclusively to taunt the Coalition, but if the political class were able to up their game and collaborate it might take on a new resonance. In such a context part of a growth plan could be to call on business, employee organisations and ordinary citizens to make their contribution to getting us through these dark hours. In the year after the credit crunch there were many examples of employees taking voluntary pay cuts or agreeing work sharing schemes.
This morning an academic on Radio 4 called for more workers to offer to reduce their hours to create more jobs. A growth plan could include temporary regulations to enable employees to take a fixed term reduction in their hours in the context of an agreement by the employer to maintain the organisation's wage bill but allocate the released hours and costs to create new jobs. Even if such measures were marginal in their impact they would at least lift the national mood out of the terrible despond in which it is now mired.
Like any competitive activity, the problem of changing political conventions lies in who goes first. For the Government to ask the Opposition to enter into talks might look like weakness and, anyway, as I said, the Coalition is the elected administration. So, my bold - and no doubt naïve and doomed – appeal for a cross party strategy to offer hope to the nation's jobless – would have to start with Labour.
How about changing the current party line – which is to demand the Government adopt Labour's five point plan - and instead offer to enter into genuine talks with the Coalition about a national recovery plan. The Coalition would probably scoff but the voters, at least, might appreciate it.

Astana Rider Fabio Aru Captures Bronze at Giro D'Italia
By Dmitry Lee in Sports on 4 June 2014
Winner of the 15th stage of theGirod'Italia,23-year-old Fabio Aru of the Astana Team finished third overall in the prestigious race.
The winner of the172 km final stage (21) of theGirod'Italia 2014 was Nairo Quintana, the first Colombian to win the Girod'Italia. His countryman Rigoberto Uranfinished second.
"Quintana deserved to win the Giro. He was very strong on his climbs and we can only congratulate him," Aru said.
"I agree. He deserved to win," Uran said. "I've always said that whoever wins,deserves to win with or without the climbs. The same thing would have happened, there's nothing more to say about it."
Aru has been at the centre of media attention since winning stage 15 after his attack in the climbs at Montecampione and the huge effort he exertedthat led him to finish a close second behind Quintana in the Cima Grappa time trial.
He has been suggested as a possible rival for teammate and fellow Italian Vincenzo Nibali. Aru was quick to play down reports of any rivalry, at least for now.
"We're teammates, we get along really well and I've learned a lot from him and I'm sure I'll learn more from him in the future," Aru said.
"I don't have much experience and just try to do as well as possible. I'm satisfied with my results at the Giro," he continued."Honestly, I wasn't feeling very optimistic about this Giro, I was surprised to find myself up there fighting with the best. I gave my all but I kept my feet on the ground because I didn't know my limits."
"The burden of many more expectations will be placed upon my back, but I hope that these challenges will give me the pride and determination to do as well as possible," he said."My abilities developed gradually before I turned 23; it took me three seasons to win my first title. Winning has given me the determination to train hard and live a life of sacrifice. Cyclists need to be constantly hungry. I've got a lot to learn and will sooner or later have to prove all of it."

Ben Smith has an interesting take on Charles Krauthammer's claim that Clinton only learned how to run against Obama "late in the fourth quarter." The winning offensive scheme, writes Krauthammer, was "back to the center -- not ideologically but culturally, not on policy but on attitude. She changed none of her positions on Iraq or Iran or health care or taxes. Instead, she transformed herself into working-class Sally-get-her-gun, off duck hunting with dad."
Clinton couldn't have run as this candidate at the beginning of the cycle. John Edwards occupied that space, with biographical authenticity, through January. February was a month dominated by coastal elites -- New York City, Boston, Los Angeles -- and African-Americans. Clinton could plausibly have done even worse if she'd run around talking about abandoning Nafta and protecting gun rights.
Then, in March, Clinton's transformation was driven by the calendar. (Just as Obama's redevotion to clean coal has been. This is normal politics.) The final quarter of the delegates are to be won in states where working-class white voters provided the key to victory. And Obama has always won enough of those -- from Iowa to Indiana -- to put together a very slightly bigger coalition than Clinton, a coalition which hasn't changed much, despite both candidates' best efforts.
I mostly agree with this. Except that, even with Edwards in the race, and even with those demographic complications, I think fighter-Hillary could have been marginally more successful than inevitable, ready-on-day-one Hillary. (Within reason, of course. Carrying on about gun rights would have been a stretch. Downing a few high-profile boilermakers would have been fine.) And, of course, a marginal improvement could have won her the nomination.
Take Missouri, for example. Had Obama not won a single swing-state primary (not caucus) on Super Tuesday, Clinton would have had a VERY powerful talking point that night, because she would have won every state primary (not caucus) that matters. But Obama's Missouri squeaker (which probably was only possible because of the shared media market of St. Louis and because of McCaskill's endorsement) made the focus on the delegate fight, rather than states won.
Agreed. And, given the final margin, I think fighter-Hillary might have won there.

The Federal Reserve will remain patient in assessing the need for rate hikes this year, according to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
The Federal Reserve will remain patient in assessing the need for rate hikes this year, according to its chairman.
In a Feb. 27 address to Congress, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell noted inflation pressures have become more toned down in January, while the job market remains strong. Further, financial conditions are "less supportive of growth" than they were last year. The Fed will continue to assess incoming data in determining the future course of monetary policy.
The Fed raised its federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point four times in 2018, driving card APRs to record highs. However, Powell last month indicated the Fed could take a more dovish approach to monetary policy this year, leading to speculation that consumers could get a break after three years of steady rate hikes.
Responding to a question about whether recent weakness in housing starts would impact the Fed's decision making, Powell noted that the Fed "will be patient and watch" as the economy and risk changes, looking at a "full set of data," which includes housing starts. The Fed is not looking at a higher inflation target, he stressed in response to another inquiry, and is focused on achieving its 2 percent target.
The Fed estimates that GDP for 2018 rose at less than 3 percent (economic growth for 2017 was at 2.5 percent). The job market remains strong, with more people encouraged to look for work, pushing up the labor force participation rate. Signs of stronger wage growth is another positive. However, there are still labor market disparities between rural and urban areas, and between ethnic groups.
Powell anticipates that recent declines in core inflation estimates, which exclude food and energy prices and tend to be a better indicator of future inflation, mean inflation will continue to be held down. This is based on the PCE (personal consumption expenditures) price inflation index for January, which is at an estimated 1.9 percent.
He also noted that fewer Americans in their prime working years are employed or looking for work, which means the labor force participation rate for this group is lower than in other developed countries. Moreover, productivity growth remains low, and stagnant wages remain an issue.
Ultimately, the Fed will continue to watch incoming data in deciding on future interest rate policy. The Fed's current target interest rate is in the 2.25 to 2.5 percent range.

American Girl is considered a pioneer of experiential retail thanks to its iconic stores that were among the first to combine shopping with eating, playing, and all sorts of other -ings. Now, nearly two decades after it opened its first location, the brand is developing the "store of the future."
In fall 2017, American Girl's New York flagship will move from Fifth Avenue to Rockefeller Center and debut a totally revamped store concept.
The New York flagship opened in Midtown in 2003, five years after the Mattel brand's first store opened in Chicago; very little has changed since 1998. "Our lease is coming due and this is a wonderful time for us to reinvent the American Girl retail experience," Wade Opland, American Girl's senior vice president of global retail, explains of the move. "We're taking this opportunity to go to a new location and design new customer experiences."

The focus of these experiences will be "customization and personalization," from the AG Signature Studio where you can design clothes and accessories for both your doll and yourself, to private rooms for "over-the-top personalized parties," to a salon that will offer services to girls, not just their dolls, for the first time.
A media studio is also being introduced, and will be particularly of the moment. Opland says there are plans to hold stop-motion workshops (American Girl Stop-Motion, or AGSM, is hugely popular on YouTube), as well as cooking and yoga classes "for health and wellness" (while the wellness industry has exploded in recent years, American Girl's The Care and Keeping of You, which came out in 1998, may well be a proto-wellness text).
And, of course, no self-described forward-looking store would be complete without touchscreen kiosks that will help you navigate the space, book salon appointments and cafe reservations, and sync up with a special American Girl app.

Though the brand has long been prescient about making shopping experiential, it's even more important in 2016. "As we look at girls today and millennial moms," says Opland, "they're seeking brands that deliver positive, meaningful experiences, not just products." As he puts it, they're asking themselves, "How does it tie back to me?"
This announcement comes at a time when American Girl is seeking to regain its footing. Last year sales fell 7 percent, with a 14 percent dip in the fourth quarter. In the first quarter of 2016, sales were down 11 percent.
The new location at 75 Rockefeller Plaza will be roughly the same size as the Fifth Avenue location at 40,000 square feet, though it will be laid out on two floors instead of three, with high ceilings and a more modern aesthetic conceived by architecture firm FRCH Design Worldwide and digital agency MJD Interactive. "This store will be the reinvention," Opland emphasizes. "It really is our store of the future, and from this one, we will evolve our other stores over time."

Put another way, American Girl views the new flagship as an incubator where it can test ideas and then roll them out to the brand's 19 other locations across the country, as well as shop-in-shops in Canada and Mexico: "We are going to take elements of what we're building here, learn on them, make sure they're wildly successful with girls, and then take pieces to other stores as we continue to evolve our retail portfolio to make sure we're relevant in all the other cities."
The new store fits in with a bigger brand refresh customers will notice in the coming year. "We're evolving as a total brand," says Opland, "and this will be one expression of that."

Even With Backlash, Open Office Layout Remains
March 16, 2016 by Irvin Goldman
Bletchley Park codebreakers use open office
A recent New York Times article suggested that the open office backlash may be a temporary setback, and actually does build a sense of community within the work culture after all. It's just experiencing growing pains. This is in stark contrast to several articles a mere two years ago, including a Fast Company article, that called for an exorcism of the open office layout immediately.
The idea of changing the physical infrastructure of office space has been an ongoing discussion for decades, though one would be hard-pressed not to see an open office layout in most offices, even in the formerly formal financial sector. With the rise of the startup element in the tech part of fintech, many fintech companies are open office and are most likely staying that way.
There has been some cynicism and critics (with graphs and charts to back up their opposition) who have said that open office has been a way for greedy CEOs to save space, cramming as many worker bees as possible in each square area whilst claiming it is a collaborative bonding. But in many companies, even the CEOs are on the floor amongst their colleagues. What proponents to open culture, like Google, aimed to do with the creation of the wide open spaces, was to disrupt the white collar industries and white collar thinking. In theory, the intention was a good one, though the pushback has been severe.
As open-space offices have spread like wildfire through Silicon Valley (and Wall Street in some instances), complaints abound, and with studies to confirm the limitations of the layout.
The NYT article submits that the layout is a "first-generation" issue that will most likely ease in time because "[g]reater openness is here to stay given our flattening hierarchies, a profound and irreversible shift increasingly reinforced by the ever great flow of digital information across offices."
Interestingly enough, contrary to the author's article, opponents or proponents, open office culture is nothing new. Telephone operators, motor pool workers, and even WWII's Bletchley Park codebreakers used the floor plan decades before first generation grievances started pouring in, and with much less complaining.
How Different Is U.S. Work Culture From Japan's?
March 1, 2016 by Irvin Goldman
Though this semi-documentary is from 2009, Japan's work culture most likely still resembles this in present day 2016. Long hours, the betterment of the group are both things that Americans at work have also adopted. Luckily for us, work culture today in the U.S. is increasingly incorporating mindfulness and other methods of decompressing from a long day. In that way, the way the Japanese work and the way we are working today is very different.

Welcome new readers and old friends, to the Winter 2000 issue of The Fairfield Review. We begin a new year and a new time when nothing is the same about our chronicle of time. It is a strange time, as Garrison Keillor noted on New Year's Day, when all of the calendar digits have changed. For us, it is the celebration of our fourth year, when we continue learning that words are full of play and discovery.
As we publish this new edition, late in January, we are paused here in Connecticut by a bright, snowy winter storm, and we feel numbed by the arctic winds that buffet us. Winter has come late, oblivious of the calendar. Yet we notice the beauty in the bleakness of snowy fields and bare branches against blue skies. We breathe in the coldness and slide down bright snowy hills, laughing and shouting like children. And, as we huddle before the fire, our hands clasping favorite old mugs filled with steaming tea and coffee, we warm ourselves with the love of here and now, the words that surround us, and think to the red heat of Valentine's Day and beyond -- to the soft breezes of spring. Here, in these pages, we bring you the ecstasy of the moment, of living in the here and now, in the streets and back country, of exploring (once again) the themes of love and passion.
We start off with a story about both passion and the attempt to capture its expression at an instant. In a new and different style, Rowan Wolf's Strange Days speaks to the pursuit of emotional clarity and ecstasy, all at once. After you are drawn in to this definition of a moment, please go on to read Slowly, It Happens, by David Meuel, who knows how to move quite beautifully from the human to the ethereal. We've published David before and we're proud to bring him back with this piece. Go then to Linda Sue Grimes' I Envy, to complete the corporal set. Following in the theme of love and longing is Richard Fein's Tactile Memories. And we finish this theme with our classic, Sonnet CXV, by William Shakespeare. This is a less-well-known piece, since it comes numerically before a much more popular sonnet, yet it is our personal favorite, and our gift to all you passionate souls for Valentine's Day.
Moving from the realm of love and passion to cleverness and fun, join E.P. Allen In the gutter (just where my friends always said I'd be). It's not what you'd expect. In keeping with the street scene, go on to People think I'm cold, by John Walsh, then walk over to Shoplifter, by Richard Fein. Stay with the city scene and visit Linda Lerner's lyrical Going Somewhere, Who's Going Somewhere? and, to finish off the Gotham set, Paul Kloppenberg metaphorically describes the life of a New York Skyscraper.
Take a detour, and time away, to think about time in Alan MacDougall's countries. This poet-of-the-Slam recently died in April, 1999, and we received a collection of his poems, published post-humously by his sister, Barbara Dan1. We are proud to bring you three of his works. Start with Time enough. Sit with it awhile. Then thumb over to Counterclock, Vanishing. And, once you've caught the rhythm of his pauses, finish most appropriately with dream sleep.
From there, please visit Guatemala, by Michael David Coffey, and feel the contrast of a land before and after. Then return to America with us, back to the darkness of winter, with One November Night, by David Meuel. David's last poem in this edition, The Neighbor's Garden, follows well here. And we always like to finish on an upbeat, so don't despair here. Be sure to end with Converse, by Yosh and then be uplifted by Epitaph, from John Walsh.
Thank you for joining us in this edition. We look forward to bringing you the best of newly mined authors and those jewels we have found before. In the meantime, enjoy the bright sun as it shines on you, even on the coldest of days. Frolic in the snow, and images of snow. We'll be joining you in watching for the first crocuses, those harbingers of rebirth. And we'll be back when the sun is warm again in New England, when the woods are green, and all life has swarmed outside to soak up spring, spilling into summer.
1Look for Alan MacDougall's "Poetry Grand Slam Finale," which comes out in a collection of over 300 poems this spring. (ISBN 1-884898-09-2). For further information, please contact Barbara Dan at Eden Publishing.


A refurbishment of MohenJodaro, they called it, a new perspective to Sindhi culture and a wake-up call for Pakistan. These were the claims that the recently held Sindh festival made. A grand celebration complete with fashion shows and artists from various industries complimented the festival. All this was to "save" the cultural heritage of Sindh in a grand way.
Of course, all this doesn't come cheap. The festival cost a pretty penny, as was evident from the scale of it. The security alone cost a fortune. Not to mention the payments made to all the superstars who performed. All in all, an obscene amount of money was spent to make this event possible.
However, did this really help the Pakistani, or for that matter, the Sindhi culture? The answer is a resounding no! Far from helping doing anything to "help" the nation or its culture, the festival actually highlighted the gap between the elite 1% of this country and the rest of the flock. A festival exclusively for the privileged, while the rest of the nation was expected to sit and clap.
Apart from that, many of the arrangements have probably damaged what is a historical site. Large wooden and steel scaffolding were erected over and around the ruins, while heavy spotlights and lasers had been installed for a light show. Farzand Masih, head of the Department of Archaeology at Punjab University, said such activity was banned under the Antiquity Act. "You cannot even hammer a nail at an archaeological site," he said. "The laser and spotlights, secondly, will cause rapid decay at the site which is already exposed to many negative factors." He added that he had declined an invitation to attend.
A much better action would have been to tend to the needs of countless needy people of the country. After all, the PPP portrays itself as a party representing all of Pakistan. If not, then how about the needy population of Sindh? No, a profile raising festival for PPP and Asif Zardari is much more important than the needs of the people.
In a nutshell, Sindh festival is probably the most useless, selfish, waste of money that I have ever seen. Its only purpose was to cater to the whims of the spoilt brats of the Zardari family and used as a marketing platform for the PPP. The funds could have been utilized in a much better way to actually help the people of Pakistan, but instead it will definitely create more animosity towards the PPP rather than showing it in a good light.
Inaam Ghar: Hit or Flop?
'Musalmanon, tukka lagao' are the words we are used to hearing from the controversially popular Amir Liaquat on GEO's Ramadan transmissions. Now, he has entered another arena with the recently launched "Inaam Ghar". This is GEO's imitation of the highly successful show by Tariq Aziz on PTV, "Nilam Ghar".
Even though the idea is decent and the setup is modern with current themes and effects, there is something lacking about Inaam Ghar. Maybe the concept is outdated; maybe people want something more these days or there is something bigger at play here.
Firstly, let's understand the concept of the show, which is really simple; the audience have to answer questions and if the answer is correct, a prize is given out. Another way to win is through a lucky draw which takes place at the end of the show. The prizes are very generous thanks to the sponsors.
However, as mentioned earlier, Inaam Ghar does not have the same appeal as its predecessor. Consequently, there have been a few major flaws that have been identified. Firstly, the content is too cheesy, be it the questions or the entertainment. Secondly, the Pakistani audience is portrayed as greedy wolves looking to pounce upon a meal. This really cheapens the aura of the show.
Last but not least, one of the major issues here is the host: Amir Liaquat Hussain. He has made this show into his personal spotlight and he never wants to relinquish it. Amir Liaquat started off as a host for religious programs and his work was highly regarded at first. Then with a combination of blunders from GEO and himself, his reputation went down the drain. In recent times, he has become something of a joke. How and why people keep watching is something beyond me.
Similarly, his attitude with the show audience is really dismal. Insulting the audience has become a norm, so has making fun of slightly different accents or speech impairments. He also comes off as a know-it-all and extremely self-centered. His over-friendliness with the ladies is also not a redeeming quality.
Another highly controversial issue is the fact that a couple of years ago Amir Liaquat blasted GEO over a suspicious video about himself, claiming he was framed by the news network. Surprisingly, he has now rejoined GEO without any explanation whatsoever.
In a nutshell, GEO TV and Amir Liaquat have ruined a classic Tv Show which the masses really enjoyed when it operated in all its glory under Tariq Aziz. Now it has lost its charm by a combination of cheap party tricks and a host to match. A fair amount of people still do watch the show, but that might just be because of the lack of quality entertainment on Pakistani Television.
On Sunday, February 2, 2014, Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his NYC apartment. The cause of death was an apparent overdose of heroin, a substance which he had quite a history with.
A friend found his body in the apartment and phoned police. Hoffman was alone in his bathroom when he was discovered with a heroin-filled needle in his arm, law enforcement sources said. The police responded to the 46-year-old's apartment in the West Village shortly after 11 a.m., police sources told FoxNews.com.
One police source told FoxNews.com that authorities are investigating whether Hoffman received a more potent type of heroin that's being blamed for numerous deaths over the past two weeks, first in the Pittsburgh area and later along the east coast. The substance combines heroin and fentanyl, an opiate used to soothe the pain of cancer patients, and is being blamed for dozens of deaths across the country, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
By Sunday night, nearly 100 reporters and photographers had congregated outside Hoffman's apartment, and a well-wisher had left flowers in the actor's memory. New York police officers debated whether to block the body from waiting photographers as it was wheeled out of the building.
Hoffman was one of the most admired actors around and was renowned for many stellar performances. perhaps the most ambitious and widely admired American actor of his generation, who gave three-dimensional nuance to a wide range of sidekicks, villains and leading men on screen and embraced some of the theater's most burdensome roles on Broadway.
History reveals that he had gone to great lengths to curb his addiction to drugs and alcohol including several stints in rehab. However, what caused him to relapse remains unknown. The world is deeply saddened by this loss to one of the film industry's greats and he will certainly be remembered by generations to come.

Tonight I ran my "Raiders of the Lost Ark" run. 6 miles heading north of my home and running through the neighborhood of Circle G Ranches. I was working on keeping my pace as close to 10 minutes per mile, as I could. The first two miles came in at 10:14 and 10:32. I walked a bit to eat half a GU. I wanted to see if that would kick in and let me get to the 10 mpm goal. The 3rd and 4th miles came in at 11:42 and 11:52. Not, so good.
Then I had the rest of the GU and miles 5 and 6 were at 10:55 and 10:42. A bit better. But, all in all a good run that Harrison Ford would be proud of.
Now, why do I call it the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" run? Because I run past this home (click on it last, it may not let you come back)and it's the home of this guy. It's for sale, so if you're interested let me know.
My Run - click on the map and change it to satelitte photo to see if you can find the home. Hint, it's near the 2 mile mark.
Google it. Reaching 2000 miles is a big deal. In a car.
Or on foot. Somewhere on Lisbon Drive in Chandler, AZ I reached 2000 miles for my running career.
My first mile was back on August 2, 2006. I did 2 miles. That's 65 miles a month for 31 months.
What are you doing on September 6th? I suggest you visit the mining town of Jerome in the mountains of Arizona. Then with 200 of your closest friends you can run 4.6 miles up the mountain to a finish line and food. In 2008, Zachary Thomas did it in a course record of 29:14. Some take an hour and a half.
The first photo is from the one mile mark looking back at the start. If you look closely at the second photo, you'll see a line of runners proceeding up the dirt trail. The third photo is right before the finish line.
Jerome is called the 'Most Vertical City in America' and now you can see why.
Now, this 2009 will be my first year running this race and I was wondering how you get back down. I looked in the race photos and I don't see the bus. But, I do see other photos of people heading down this road on foot. Maybe the bus is around the corner. Or maybe you'll have to run the 4.6 miles back down the trail as a cool down.
If you like these photos, check out Megan's website. She's a pro that takes pics at many of the ARR races. What's more amazing than the lack of a bus, is that she'll sell you the pictures dirt cheap. So cheap, you'll even want to buy pictures of strangers.
2008 Jerome Hill Climb Results.
I just renewed my membership to the Arizona Road Racers. ARR is the running club for the greater Phoenix area. I am a member of SAR - Southern Arizona Roadrunners too. They are out of Tucson, an hour 20 minutes south of my home.
I joined as a Benefactor. It's three times the cost of a normal membership. But, I get to run in 10 races for free. The Christiansen Trail Run, The Desert Classic 2 miler, All five of the Summer Series races, The Jerome Hill Climb, The South Mountain Classic 5k and the Mazatzals (mad as hell) Trail Run in Sunflower, AZ.
Papago Park 5k on May 23.
Reach 11 Park 5k on June 14.
Rio Vista Four on the Fourth on July 4.
Kiwanis Park 5k on July 18.
"Join the ARR for the 39th Annual Jerome Hill Climb. This unique event is a 4.6 mile uphill run on paved and dirt roads that begins at the Jerome Historical Museum and passes through historic downtown Jerome before finishing on a nearby mountain top."
Here's a view of Jerome, "America's Most Vertical City". Yeah, we start near the bottom and finish way up high.
Remember I am reading 48 books this year before my 48th birthday. This is book 16.
The second book in the rabbit series and probably the last one I read. Updike's books are kind of depressing.
In the first book, Rabbit, Run you read as the main character Rabbit, deals with his faultering marriage and dead end life. So, he runs. In this book it's his wifes turn to run.
I had heard that John Updike was a world class author and he recently passed away, so I wanted to read some of his works. I've read two, so now I'm done.
Does he venture into other subjects? Maybe I just need to get away from the rabbit series.
Time for some Dirty Six!
How about this for a race? I'm thinking about signing up and it's close to home.
Katie sent me my prizes for winning the Biggest Loser Fantasy League and for the Half Marathon Challenge. My wife collects disney pins on the small quilt she made, so I added the two pins to it. You can click on the photo to see the pins closer.
And I also got some spices and seasoning from Maryland.
It was the annual St. Patrick's 8k (4.8 miles) and 1 mile races in Kiwanis Park. I've always wanted to do a one mile race and I figured this was my time. I tapered for three days. My legs were tired and I planned to take two days off, but it turned into three. Over 200 runners lined up for the longer race and 39 of us lined up across the street for the mile. It was about half kids and half adults. I figured I could finish in the top 4 or 5. Usually there's some fast kids and one or two fast adults.
Luckily, today there was only one fast kid. I got to be the fast adult. Before the start of the race, one dad was giving instructions to two young men next to me. Finally, the one kid looked at me and said, "I'll just follow him." That was the nine year old that lead the whole race. I was right behind and had to give him directions to turn right, go under the bridge, keep the lake on your left and finally to turn right again. Yeah, I was tempted to have him run around the lake again.
The finish is up a hill and then a sharp right turn into the picnic area. I tried to kick it, but my tank was empty and his wasn't. His buddy, the 7 year old was right on my tail the whole way. We finished one, two, three.
An 8:10 mile is my best. I think I did an 8:20 first mile at the Goodyear 5k. After the race I got to talk with the kids. For polite and nice. I let him know I didn't let him win. If I could have passed him, I would have. My garmin battery was low, so I didn't get to see my pace during the race. I just tried to keep up with the fast kid.
After our race, I got to watch the longer race. It's entirely inside the park. Around the lake, on the canal and some park road. It was nice that they went one way and the milers went the other.
I stuck around and helped with the kiddie dash. The 7 year old that finished third in the mile, won his age group in the KD. The 9 year old finished 4th. Plenty of fruit, cookies and water for the runners. They even had some green beer. They gave out awards to the top three in all age groups for the long run and medals to the top male and female in the mile. I did win my AG (three old guys), but no medal for second place overall.
I am now putting my race reports on Arizona Foot Races. It's a blog that lists all Arizona races from Lake Powell to the Mexican border with race reports from lots of different runners. It's new and you can put your race reports there too. That is, if you run any Arizona races.
I started this blog and April is the first month. But, I'm posting older race reports. So, if you have any race reports, let me know. I can copy and paste them from your blog to AFR.
Check it out, I think it'll be pretty cool.
My son had to go to downtown Chandler for a Japanese Swordsmenship class. It was his first time driving down there, so I told him I would go with him and run home. I don't get to do too many runs that aren't a loop, so this would be fun.
Except, after running two races over the weekend and running yesterday and again tonight I had tired legs. Four runs in five days was a bit much. Yesterday I ran 3.4 miles in 40.06 (11:36 pace). I got to run the Indian Bend Wash, almost got run over by some SF Giant minor leaguers in a van(they were in uniform) and almost hit by a golf ball as I ran past the golf course. The top map is of that run.
Tonights run was 4.3 miles in 50.57 (11:41 pace). I started my run right where the Ostrich Festival finish line was. The hardest part of the run was going past all the great smelling restaurants. In and Out Burger was unbelievable. I almost stopped.
So, what's unusual about the bicycle below? You can click on the photo to enlarge.
Dane Patterson's (The Biggest Loser) chip ran again this past saturday. I guessed it would be worn in the 10k and the runner would finish in 58:25.
Nick guessed it would be the 5k with a time of 24:17.
John guessed it would be the 5k with a time of 27:43.
Karen was just 13 seconds slower than I predicted.
This was a doubleheader weekend. Yesterday was the Ostrich Festival 5k and today was a 3.8 miler at a movie studio. Old Tucson Studios is know for being a filming site for many a John Wayne movie, as well as, many other westerns.
Here's just a few movies made there.
It was almost a 2 hour drive for me. My kids and wife passed at the chance to get up at 4 am. The question was, would I be dead by the time I got to Tucson?
I ran again in "A Shirt That Races".
Look familiar? This is one of the sets that we ran past. My legs felt great and I was ready to run, but not as fast as yesterday. One, it's my first trail race with a lot of single track. Two, I brought my camera. The race director, who was pretty funny told us it was around 3.9 miles, unless you get lost. This race had lots of turns, as you can see on the map. One loop around the studio streets, then out into the desert, past the start line with a final loop around town. He warned us about rattlesnakes. He said, "the first runner scares the snake, the snake scares the second runner and the third runner gets bit. So make sure you're the fourth runner." Or something to that effect.
I was running and taking pictures and ran mile splits of around 11 minutes each for the first three. The final .8 was in town and I had already taken pictures there, so I ran my fastest. a 9:48 mile split. I finished in 41:27 and was happy with that.
This was put on by the Southern Arizona Roadrunners (which I am now a member) and they had a great awards ceremony. Lots of door prizes for adults and kids, AG awards and the Old Tucson Sheriff added some levity. We had a trail breakfast (scrambled egg burritos).
Here we are running the streets and below is Horse Poop Alley. Yeah, it's where they dump the waste and we got to run right thru it.
Old Tucson Studios is in the Saguaro National Forest. SA-war-o. And it is a forest, as you can see. The drive is majestic.
Now, it's time to send "A Shirt That Races" to another state. Our goal is to have a different runner in all 50 states and Canada run in this shirt. I'll write on the shirt about the two AZ races, wash it (promise) and then mail it to . . . you?
If you want to participate, let Nikemom know when and she'll put you on the calendar.
Today was the debut of the men's version of "A Shirt That Races". I set my alarm for 6 am and woke up at 6:30 wondering why the alarm didn't go off. I was ok, since this year's Ostrich Festival 5k was being run on the parade route in downtown Chandler for the first time. Just a few minutes from home. I got to packet picket up an hour before race time. Picked up my race tee, which is just the festival tee. But, still good looking and went back to my car to stay warm.
There I am in "A Shirt That Races" with bib #149. It's a small race with less than 200 runners. About 50 degrees and sunny. There was a delay of almost 1/2 hour because the barricade guys slept in.
Runners started warming up. This guy wasn't going 15 mph, but I thought it was a funny picture anyway. I started out fast. My plan was to stay around a 9:09 mile.* Three of those plus a fast sprint at the end will give me a PR of around 28:10. My first mile was in 8:45. I thought I was moving pretty good, but there were still plenty of people gliding past me. This course is made for PRs. It's flat and straight. It all takes place on Arizona Avenue with just two turn arounds. Mile two was done in 9:36. I did walk for a drink and to down half a candy bar (much more enjoyable than a GU).
Mile three was the most fun. In the finish line picture below you'll see a little kid sitting on the curb. He ran the race. Maybe 10 years old. He cruises past me, looks up, smiles and says hi. I catch up to him, thinking that he's running a 1 mile fun run and it happens to be on the same course. So, I ask. Nope, he's running the whole 5k and it doesn't look like it's fazing him one bit.
Yeah, that little kid on the left. Maybe, he's 7 or 8. So we get to the 2.6 mile turn around and theirs a cop directing traffic. I tell the kid to give the cop a high five and he does. As he does I take the turn and say, "see ya kid, I'm in front". As the kid sprints past me, he says, "Oh no your not".
We spend the last bit of the race running side by side and I give him some race advice about conserving energy and saving it for the sprint to win at the end. We match stride for stride and then I tell him at the light I'm going to start my sprint. 100 yards to go and we both kick it up a notch. I did mile three in 9:51, but now the kid and I are under a 7 minute pace. I had some gas in the tank, he was running on fumes. I could have taken the kid, honest. Of course, he probably told his dad he didn't want to beat the old man too bad, so he coasted. But, I like my story better. We both finished around 28:52. The kid won by a nose.
I stop my garmin, give the kid a fist bump and realize that I missed my PR by 3 seconds. Three Seconds! That's ok. I enjoyed racing with the kid, much more than any PR. There's always tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow. I hope I have the horsepower for race #2 this weekend. Yeah, I'm taking "A Shirt That Races" down to Tucson for a special race.
*9:09 pace per mile would give me a 2 hour HM or a 4 hour marathon. That's why my blog is named after my goal pace. I'm a long way from my goal.
My first 15 books in my quest to read 48 books before I turn 48. I'm 15 weeks into the goal and I'm on a one book a week pace.
Running, history and a biography. What more could I want.
A great autobiography of one mans journey from Japan to South America to an internment camp in the US. This is full of history tha you can't get in a textbook. You might have know about the iternment camps for the Japanese during WWII, but did you know we arrested Japanese citizens in central and South America and interned them?
Enjoyed the book and it all made sense, but I can't stick with weight training like I can with running.
Loved the book. But, then again I love reading about the Presidents. Whether you voted Obama or not, this is a great read and a very interesting man.
An interesting book written before JFK became president. He was recovering from back surgery, was a senator and wrote this book about courageous senators of the past.
My father passed this book along to me. Like the Chicken Soup series, it's a collection of warm rememberances of fathers. I, enjoyed reading it. Tim Russert, the author and NBC news fame died while I was reading it.
Since I didn't grow up in Indiana, I didn't know how big the high school game was. Sure, I heard about it's popularity. But, until you've experienced it or at least read this book you won't know.
I wouldn't have picked it out myself, but my brother in law Doug gave it to me and it's fantastic.
A quick, short book of quotes by famous and not so famous people. It was interesting, but I'm glad I didn't buy it.
If you are a Chicago sports fan, this is a great book to read. Scott Simon of NPR and NBC fame wrote about his love of Chicago sports from a fans perspective. Great chapters about the Bears Super Bowl win and about the Bulls 6 Championships.
This is the first book I've read by John Updike. He passed away a month ago, so I thought I should read some of his works.
I think he's best know for the 'rabbit' series. Four books that tell of the life of one Harry Angstrom, a fictional character that was a star basketball player in high school. Updike is a great writer, makes you feel like you are there. Very discriptive. Although the story didn't speak to me, the narrative did.
I ordered the second book, Rabbit, Redux from the library and I'll give it a chance too.
He calls it the final chapter or what you do to make up for a mistake. He says to do something creative after a goof, so that the client telling about how you screwed up will have to include how you rectified the situation.
14. 50 Things I Love About Japan.
It's a short book that was given to me by my mother in law. It's not in GoodReads.
A great collection of baseball stories. I love the Chicken Soup series.
We can grow lemons in the backyard, but this is what my oranges look like. The can is for reference purposes. Both of those oranges are from the same tree. The small shriveled orange was very bitter. The huge orange had no taste at all and was very dry.
We call them the Barry Bonds Oranges.
This is the second time I've run this route. I like new places to run and I like this run for a few reasons. Right around the one mile mark I run past a bunch of Orange trees. These are good oranges. They are in the median, so I assume they belong to the HOA. Hopefully, they don't mind if I eat one now and again. Around the 2 mile mark you'll see a series of lakes. If I want to extend this run to 6 or 7 miles, I can run on the trails along the lakes. On the corners before the 3rd and 4th miles are two drugstores. If I need a shot of sugar I can stop at these fuel stations.
I did that tonight. I stopped at Walgreens and got a Take Five. A candy bar with pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter and chocolate. 210 calories. 25 grams of carbs. I try not to eat these too often. But it was good and it gave me the pick up I needed.
As you can see on the graph. My splits after the PED -Performance Enhancing Dessert are far better. And to think, baseball wants to ban these. I ended up doing 5 miles in 56 minutes at 8 pm. I was going to run in the afternoon, but it was over 80 degrees.
I have it now. The men's version. I'm the first one to wear it, so Arizona is the first state. I plan to run in it this Saturday at the Ostrich Festival 5k. Then I have a surprise for everyone on Sunday. We are still looking for others to wear it in races in all 50 states and in Canada. Are you running a race later in March? If you have a blog and want to wear it, write a race report and mail it to the next runner, you can be a star.


Pls I can't locate the location of my saved pages on my blackberry 9810. Its saved in sound folder and can't locate my sound folder on my fone. Pls help me out cos opera link doesn't backed up saved pages and I really need to back up.

Life of a Missionary-Divine Providence
Life of a Missionary-Contd – Please read the previous post-
http://drpaulose.com/spirituality/life-of-a-missionary-witness-through-suffering
1975-He reaches Banaras (Varanasi), Bishop Patrick sent him to Nagpur seminary for completing his studies-2 year Philosophy, 4 years of Theology, which he completed.
1981-At last he becomes a Deacon, which last only one year. Priesthood was at hand, eventually.
Coming home for priestly ceremony-
He comes back to his native village Nedungapra after 24 years (he left Nedungapra in 1958).All his family, brothers and sisters thought he was not alive.
But disaster struck him again, while he was in Kerala on a visit to prepare the priesthood ceremony. He had massive internal bleeding from a burst stomach ulcer and admitted unconscious in Little flower Hospital Angamaly.He was again, 3rd time undergone a major operation by Dr George Jacob and the surgeon removed 2/3 of his stomach and while in hospital he received 18 pints of blood transfusion. It was a miraculous escape from death.
1982-15th April-Priesthood ceremony took place in the village church_Nedungapra.His ambition of life was fulfilled. He became Fr.K.O.Francis, fondly called "Fr K.O."
1982-2000-Spent his life as priest in the Diocese of Varanasi, served as a diocesan, spiritual director in various parishes and seminaries in North India-Nagaland, Jaunpur (UP,) Andaman Islands etc.He built nearly 12 churches in different parts of north India.
2000-At the age of 66, because of his ill health ,he requested Bishop of Varanasi to come back to Kerala for better medical treatment and to lead a not so hectic life. The permission was granted and from year 2000 onwards, he served in various places in Kerala-Kanjoor,Chalil,Elavoor,Ettumannoor and now serving as a spiritual father for the boy\'s orphanage in Divine centre, Muringoor, Chalakkudy.
In summary-His life as missionary lasted 24 years as lay missionary-"Brother" and completed 28 years of priesthood, had 3 major operations; still continue his life\'s call for Jesus- His
mission is endless and diverse .
But despite the difficulties and hardship, Fr. Francis feels joy and satisfaction. "The biggest reward for me is the presence of God in my life as a Divine Word Missionary and in the lives of the people I served, and still serving.." says Fr Francis
"Every Catholic, whether priest, religious or layman, should rejoice because all of his talents, knowledge, studies, power, nobility, profession, art, earthly goods, service, prayers used for the propagation of faith and rekindling of charity in the world can acquire the merit of the apostolate"
– St. Vincent Pallotti.
"All Christians must follow God sends us all hardships
out of infinite love. Do not try to escape suffering".
St.vincent pallotti
www.napallottine.org
Offering Holy mass-Holy Mass intentions
An individual may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons: as thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday, wedding anniversary or any special need), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.
To have a Mass offered for the repose of his soul and to offer our prayers are more beneficial and comforting than any other sympathy card or kind words.
One must never forget the infinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass which benefit one\'s soul. One cannot put a price of a Holy mass, how can we put a price of Christ's death on the cross for mankind? Anyhow a small stipend is given to the priest for offering the Mass, which thereby creates an obligation which must be satisfied and way of livelihood for the priest.
If you would like to ask Fr.Francis to offer Holy mass for any intention, please call him (His cell Number-09447092078).Or you can email me and I can forward the message to him. God bless.

Q: Disable Button in Details View for a particular row Objective C I am working on UITableView and when I select a row it goes into Detail View Controller. I have a Button in Details Controller, all I want to do is disable that button when clicked on it and never enable it again. This button will be in enable state for each row and when clicked on it, it should be disabled.
For eg. This is my table with 4 rows A, B, C, D. When clicked on A it ll take you to its detail controller where we have the button and when I click it , it should be disabled. Now I come back to TableView and click on Row C and the button inside Details view should be enabled and when clicked disable it.
For now I am setting a text and changing color when tapped.
 [self.myButton setTitle:@"Checked" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

WATCH: Will Young's hesitancy costs him his wicket as Ravichandran Ashwin picks up India's first
The ball tracker showed that Ashwin's delivery was missing stumps as Will Young walked towards the dugout after a poor judgement of not taking the review.
Rishab Dutta
After a shaky start to their second innings, Team India managed to put up a decent score of 234/7, thanks to the heroics of Shreyas Iyer (65 off 125) and Wriddhiman Saha (61* off 126), before declaring an hour ahead of stumps on Day 4. With this, they have set a huge target of 284 runs for New Zealand who need to chase it down in 90 overs lest they should settle for a draw. However, Indian captain Ajinkya Rahane has made it very sure that they will indeed be going all out for a win and Ravichandran Ashwin's early wicket right before stumps has given the blues an edge.
Watch: Will Young's Brain Fade after wrong dismissal
Will Young's dismissal
On the last delivery of the third over, Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin bowled a lethal in-swinger that produced an unexpected turn, catching New Zealand opener Will Young completely off-guard hence dismissing him through LBW. As has been the noticeable trait throughout the first test, the pitch is not offering too much bounce and it was a big factor in Will Young misreading the delivery.
After some consultation with his opening partner Tom Latham, Will Young decided not to take a review and it turned out to be a big blunder by the two Kiwi batters. As Young walked towards the dugout, the Ball-tracker clearly showed on the giant-screen that the ball was missing stumps. Had they taken the review, it would have gone in their favour. This mistake might prove to be fatal for New Zealand later.
It was quite contradictory to what we saw in New Zealand's first innings wherein Tom Latham took 3 successful reviews in a row.
The 284 runs target looks unachievable for the Blackcaps at this point and they will probably be satisfied with a draw. However, with the likes of Tom Latham, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor still remaining in their batting lineup, the match can take an unexpected turn at any moment.

Q: In ProcessPoolExecutor of concurrent.futures, BrokenProcessPool occurs from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor
import numpy as np

def func(x):
    return x+1

def main():

    data = np.arange(100).reshape(10,-1)

    with ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        for result in executor.map(func,data):
            print(result)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I expected this code to result in the following:
[ 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10]
[11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20]

[91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100]

the result was:
BrokenProcessPool: A process in the process pool was terminated abruptly while the future was running or pending.

But, the following code works
###
for result in executor.map(np.sum,data):
    print(result)
###

The result is
45
145
245
345
445
545
645
745
845
945

I thought because I created 'func' by myself.
Please tell me why the error is happening.

I think reading a lot of baby books helped me be somewhat prepared, having a lot of help was very important for me, but no matter what I read, I never imagined how it will affect my emotions and moods.
I expected night wakings when he was small, but I believed the books which said that after 6 months they usually sleep through! This didn't happen.
I read on a blog though that you should just stop counting the hours of sleep you got/missed and try to focus on other things because this will not change for a while. I have to say that has really helped me change my mindset. Now I just try to get through the day. I'm still really really tired, but just trying not to focus on it!
When he was a year old and was still not sleeping through the night I wasn't coping well at all...because at that point all I could think was he should be sleeping through, so you are just simply frustrated. And then you start to second guess yourself and what you are doing, and blaming yourself for their sleep issues which just causes a host of other issues that makes coping extremely difficult.

Presidents of Chinese and international universities gathered at Tongji University to discuss sustainable development at a conference to celebrate Tongji's 110th anniversary.
Presidents of Chinese and international universities gathered at Shanghai-based Tongji University recently to discuss sustainable development and the responsibility of universities at a conference to celebrate Tongji's 110th anniversary.
He also pointed out that the core task for a university is to cultivate talents that can lead sustainable development.
Tongji had set up a clear target in 2013 to develop itself into a sustainable development-oriented world-class university and has been innovating its science research and technology development since then, said Zhong. It began enhancing crossover research and focusing on key problems and solutions related to sustainable development, such as deep-sea drilling and submarine observation, water pollution treatment, stem cells and translational medicine.
Zeng Jianping, president of Jinggangshan University said universities should not only educate students, but also the public and government in terms of promoting sustainable development.
"Sometimes we have to change the concepts of our government," he said.
