Pryce enjoying Hysteria of new film
Jonathan Pryce has confessed he is loving the reaction he gets when he tells people he is starring in a film about the invention of the vibrator.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star is currently filming Hysteria, with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy and Rupert Everett, based on the true story of a Victorian doctor who aimed to cure hysteria in women and ended up inventing the vibrator.
Jonathan, who plays the doctor father of Maggie's character said: "It's a film called Hysteria which is about the invention of the vibrator - I love people's reactions when I say that."
He added: "It's set in 1880 and it's based on fact. There are humorous elements, for sure, but ultimately it's a film about female emancipation and liberation."
The film, written by Stephen and Jonah Lisa Dyer, is being directed by Tanya Wexle, and is currently filming in London and Luxembourg.
Maggie told The Guardian earlier this year: "I play a firecracker whose father is a doctor who is in the business of curing hysterical women. He cures them basically by getting them off and that actually happened. I end up having a sort of unexpected love affair with this guy who works for him, and who by mistake invents the vibrator."

Stadium safety and security at FIFA tournaments
Safety and security is a pivotal component of any successful event, match or tournament and affects everyone attending or participating in the event. It is widely acknowledged that safety and security can only be achieved by establishing a balance between anticipation (importance of being well prepared), good management and well-designed infrastructure.
Successful stadium safety and security strikes the right balance between stadium design and stadium management. Guidance on new builds and stadium refurbishment can be found in the FIFA publication Football Stadiums – Technical Recommendations and Requirements, which should be used as a reference for all FIFA events together with the latest version of the FIFA Stadium Safety and Security Regulations. These regulations are intended to make organisers of FIFA events aware of their duties and responsibilities before, during and after matches in relation to safety and security at the stadium. They contain the minimum safety and security measures that event organisers and stadium authorities must take to ensure safety, security and order at the stadium.
The host country/association agrees, by signing the hosting agreement, to assume full responsibility for the operation of all security matters relating to the competition, at all sites and venues, at Host City airports and principal train stations, and, in respect of representatives of national governments, the FIFA delegation, the teams and the match officials, during the time the members of such groups are present in the host country for purposes directly relating to the competition, whether in preparation for the competition, or whether during the competition period. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the host association to employ occupationally competent and trained persons to fulfil the duties required for event safety and security management and operations. This includes national security officers, stadium/venue security officers, stadium stewards and private security.
The FIFA Security Division provides expert and specialist advice regarding safety and security at major events.

Wicked Cupcakes! is a very FUN recipe book, lots of bright photography and quite detailed methods for most of the recipes. Many of the recipes have the same basic buttery sponge base, with maybe one or two ingredients added to give a little variation to each one. All nice flavours, but not exactly "WOW!' . I would recommend this as a great recipe book for someone who is just starting out baking or has little or no experience with cupcakes. There is a section on baking cupcakes with children and this is what interested me the most, as there were some very good novelty decorating ideas. I tried a few of them, starting with the Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes. Tamar and I were very excited about this recipe – and it didn't disappoint! Easy to follow and delicious combination of flavours.
We also attempted the Bakewell Tart Cupcakes. These were also very successful.
My only reservation about this book would be that the quantity of cake mixture is too much for the suggested 12 cupcakes. I easily made 16 cupcakes out of the mixture. So just be aware it might be worth making up a smaller amount of cake mix or using muffin cases instead of the standard size cupcake cases.

Interventional Radiology
Northwest Hospital's interventional radiology department utilizes many non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments as alternatives to open surgical procedures. Interventional radiology procedures are generally easier for the patient because they involve small incisions, minimal pain and shorter recovery times.
Interventional radiologists use their expertise in X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, ultrasound, and other medical imaging technology to guide small instruments, such as catheter tubes, through the blood vessels or other pathways to treat medical conditions, rather than open surgery.
Examples of interventional radiology procedures include vertebroblasty, kyphoplasty, radio frequency ablation of tumors, angiography, balloon angioplasty and stenting to open clogged blood vessels, uterine fibroid embolization, spinal pain injections, and needle biopsy, among others.
How to Schedule an Appointment:
Your physician's office must call to schedule an appointment. They will be asked to indicate the specific procedure you need, the reason for the procedure, and certain details from your health history.
Hours of Operation:
Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

G2 vs. Gambit
Let's start. We have two teams in absolutely different skill groups. Well on MLG gambit pleasently surprised me. But let's begin with facts. That's BO5 so there's minimum of random. If we compare these two compounds it's quite clearly that G2 has more famous compound than gambit. Don't judge teams by major events. French five always have troubles with that. I want to believe in gambit they're trying to win. But G2 have more chances than gambit objectively. I vote for french guys
Россия, Ачинск
Well friends, here we bo 5 and it is not good for Gambit. Here I will give preference to g2. Different levels of the game in these groups. Though Gambit on MLC showed themselves pretty not bad, unlike the G2, but that all the same it bo5. Errors should not be here. It is safe to pour to G2.
Россия, Москва
I want to start with the fact that G2 is much stronger in contrast to Gambit, they won the opponents who lost to Gambit.Team Gambit gave us an unexpected surprise,I think it was an accident.
And also I want to add that the team G2 had time to prepare for this match and the tournament.
And consequently,my vote in favor of the French!
Very interesting match awaits us today. Gambit recently typed form and vvstupayut good, but all the same experience and the current form with a slight advantage in G2. But there is another important factor that adds a lot of chances to win the French, and it BO5. In G2 more credit cards in that they are healthy, so I think they pick 3 cards can. My prediction: G2 (win).

Don't let the two star rating discourage you, this book was good AND funny. I suggest listening to it on audiobook, the author, Libba Bray, is the one who reads it. She turned it into a production, doing multiple different voices and even taking commercial breaks. It was hilarious! I wish every audiobook was made into a production like Bray made 'Beauty Queens'.
This book is 'Lord of the Flies' meets America's Next Top Model. I couldn't put it down–er, I couldn't stop listening to it.
If it was so good, why did I give it such a low rating, you're wondering.
Though I couldn't stop listening, I couldn't get over how much of a parody this book was. Everything was to be taken with a grain of salt. I didn't get anything out of this book. If the characters didn't have an alternative agenda when they joined the pagent (like taking it down from the inside or being the first ****spoiler!**** trans person to win the pagent *end spoiler*) then they were just dumb pagent bimbos, unfortuenately.
If this book had been written in a more serious manner, it would have recieved a higher rating from me.

Beginning Sept. 1 all St. Mary's Park and Museums to go "Smoke-Free"
Leonardtown, MD- Beginning on September 1, 2019, all St. Mary's County Parks and Museums will adopt a tobacco-free policy. This does not apply to Wicomico Golf Shores.
The policy set to go into effect will include cigarettes, vaping, cigars, and all nicotine products. The is a two-phase process adopted by the Commissioners will also have the next phase implemented on January 1, 2020. That phase will extend the tobacco-free policy to all county-owned buildings and properties.
Last year, the St. Mary's County Fair had a Smoke-free Kids Day, and also no smoking in several other areas throughout the fair. More and more areas are becoming smoke-free. Starbucks and Target, among many other retail and restaurants, have implemented smoke-free zones ranging from 15′-25′ in front of the location.
Last February, Maryland celebrate 10 years of the Clean Indoor Air Act. which made nearly all workplaces, and public spaces, including bars and restaurants smoke-free.
"Maryland children age 10 and under are our first smoke-free generation," proclaimed Dr. Howard Haft, deputy secretary for Public Health Services. "They have never visited a Maryland restaurant, public facility, or workplace where smoking is allowed. The Department is committed to continuing its efforts to further reduce, prevent, and protect Marylanders from the harmful effects of tobacco use."
The county also offers smoking cessation classes through the County Health Department. You can find more info on the at this link: Smoking Cessation
The Southern Maryland Chronicle is a local, small business entrusted to provide factual, unbiased reporting to the Southern Maryland Community. While we look to local businesses for advertising, we hope to keep that cost as low as possible in order to attract even the smallest of local businesses and help them get out to the public. We must also be able to pay employees(part-time and full-time), along with equipment, and website related things. We never want to make the Chronicle a "pay-wall" style news site.
To that end, we are looking to the community to offer donations. Whether it's a one-time donation or you set up a reoccurring monthly donation. It is all appreciated. All donations at this time will be going to furthering the Chronicle through hiring individuals that have the same goals of providing fair, and unbiased news to the community. For now, donations will be going to a business PayPal account I have set-up for the Southern Maryland Chronicle, KDC Designs. All business transactions currently occur within this PayPal account. If you have any questions regarding this you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you for all of your support and I hope to continue bringing Southern Maryland the best news possible for a very long time. — David M. Higgins II

We all have played Hide and seek when we were young. Nowadays kids are getting interested in playing more of indoor games and video games. It is very important to stimulate them towards outdoor games as it not only stimulates minds but also are physically invigorating.
In Hide and Seek, you need to choose the "it" who has to close eyes and count till say 50 while the others go and hide. After counting is over "it" seeks the hidden children, the first one to get caught becomes the next "it". To bring in some variation in the game, it can be played in the evening with a flashlight. When the flashlight falls on the hidden child he becomes the "it" and goes seeking other children with the flashlight. Another variation can be made if the person found out by "it" also joins hands and they seek out to find others.
This game gives the children the opportunity to explore their surroundings and run around, which is good and necessary for staying healthy. Since it can be played by children of age group belonging to 3 to 13, it should be encouraged to be played in schools too, during the recess. Physical activities are as important for children as are mental games since more and more physical activities keep all diseases at bay.

Hybrid and virtual meetings are on the increase, but this hasn't worried organisers of more traditional events, meetpie.com reports.
According to new figures from the Meeting Professionals International (MPI), technological advancements could revolutionise the meetings industry, as people no longer have to travel hundreds of miles to reach an event. This has led some to believe that technology could sound the death knell for traditional event hosts, but this certainly isn't a view shared by all.
In fact, some have argued that video conferencing and hosting could actually benefit the industry, as it enables events to radically diversify their offering, successfulmeetings.com reports.
Among them is Cynthia Bullock of the MPI, who claimed that technology could be used to the advantage of event organisers. She said that many speakers have to turn down invitations because it involves travelling a huge distance to then only give a talk for 15 or 20 minutes. Enabling them to give this lecture remotely, however, could ensure business events manage to book their ideal itinerary of guests – without compromise.
It seems this belief is also present among event organisers themselves, with a quarter saying that new technology would enhance face-to-face meetings. Meanwhile, only nine per cent said they thought such advancements would replace elements of face-to-face meetings.
Not only that, some 53 per cent of organisers surveyed by the MPI said they expected an increase in event attendees over coming month. At the other end of the scale, just 14 per cent feared the opposite.

New PBS App to Provide On-Demand Access to Panhandle PBS Programs Like Live at the Ritz featuring Attebery Station and PBS Favorites Including AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, FRONTLINE and MASTERPIECE

Xbox 360 users will access and personalize their PBS experiences by identifying their local PBS station, providing them access to locally produced content along with signature PBS programs.
"This launch is an important next step in our strategy to make PBS content available through a variety of platforms, while maintaining the connection between the viewer and their local PBS station," said Jon Brendsel, Vice President of Product Development, PBS Digital. "While PBS member stations will always be the first place to find high-quality PBS programming, the launch of our Xbox offering recognizes that viewers are looking to engage with their local station in the time and manner they choose."
"As one of America's favorite destinations for high-quality content on television and online, PBS is a great addition to our expansive lineup of entertainment experiences on Xbox 360," said Kathy Styponias, General Manager, Interactive Entertainment Business. "The addition of PBS is another example of how we're continuing to expand our catalog of entertainment so that Xbox Live members can find all of their favorite experiences in one place."
The app was developed by PBS and Digiflare. More information can be found at pbs.org/xbox.

California based photobag manufacturer think tank photo released a new line of their famous bags. Now they also support the multimedia shooters out there. Those bags have all one thing in common (like all thinktank bags): they've be been designed in close contact with working pros. That this was a pretty good corporation comes out, when you start taking a close look at the new line. The most useful feature are the tiny cable ports everywhere on the bags which allows you to pull the cables from the inside where your recorders, etc. are to the outside where they are connected to mics, headphone, and more. I recently got a "Multimedia Wired Up 10" for testing. This is the smallest of the two hip bags on offer. I allways perefer the smaller bags because I like to travel as light as possible.
For shooting stories I prefer fixed lenses ( 28mm, 50mm, 85mm ) which all fit in the bag but I have also tested he bag with the bigger lenses as you can see on the photos below. There's room in the front pocket for bigger recorders like the Marantz PMD 660, too, but you can't close the zipper when a headphone is plugged in which is no problem for me: There's a small flap with a magnetic button so that you can secure the frontpocket while moving around. And you need angled XLR plugs to make the Marantz fit into the front pocket.
A Røde NTG-2 will fit nicely into the bag but a Sennheiser ME 66 would be to long to be stored inside. The bag comes with the "standard" loops on the belt so you can attach more think tank belt bags if need. On one side of the belt you can fix a metall headphone holder which is amazingly useful in holding the headphones when their not in use. You can also attach the mic at elastic loops on both sides of the bag pointing to your interview partner to free your hands for shooting.

BERLIN: German e-commerce investor Rocket Internet said on Wednesday it had managed to rein in losses at its main start-ups and said it had plenty of cash to keep funding the businesses.
Rocket said aggregate revenue of selected companies grew by 31 percent to 1.58 billion euros ($1.68 billion) in the first nine months of the year, a slight slowdown from a growth rate of 32 percent in the first half.
The aggregate adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin improved to a negative 17.5 percent from negative 34.4 percent a year ago, with 2.6 billion euros of cash still available.

According to a report in The Daily City, Orange County, Florida has adopted new zoning ordinances that impact food trucks. The new laws adopted on September, 13th 2016 prohibit vendors from operating past midnight. The new laws also prohibit music and customer seating for food trucks as well.
Food Truck Curfews Nationwide
Unfortunately, food truck curfews are not exclusive to Orange County, Florida. This action has been taken in other locations across the country as well. Here are a few examples of cities or counties where food trucks are restricted to serve past a certain hour:
Des Moines, Iowa – City officials proposed a 10:30 p.m. curfew for food trucks operating outside downtown Des Moines. The alleged reasoning behind the curfew here was due to taco trucks operating late at night, leaving trash and defecting in alleys. If these claims are accurate the behavior of those specific vendors should be fixed.
Philadelphia, PA – Fishtown is a popular neighborhood known for a prolific night life in Philadelphia. For the last three years or so, food trucks have become a popular destination for the after bar crowd between the hours of 2 a.m. – 3 a.m. However, in 2016 that all changed and police started to shut down vendors serving food after midnight. Not surprisingly, this action hurt the businesses of a lot of vendors that rely on the sales the after bar crowd drives.
Working With and Educating Local Government Officials
Although there's no silver bullet to resolving legislation actions like this, education can help a lot. Most food truck and concession owners are good people that put an incredible amount of effort into serving great food and operating a clean operation so it's frustrating to read reports of the small number of "Roach Coach" operators that give the industry a bad name.
Part of the reason some cities have adopted more progressive food truck laws is because of the great work of local food truck associations or groups. Enrolling in your local food truck association is not only smart from a networking perspective for food vendors, but it's also proven to be an effective way to encourage friendlier food truck laws. If local government officials only hear the negatives about food trucks from the community, they will be more likely to take less progressive action. If you're able to band together with other vendors to make more noise and share your perspective it can make all the difference in the world with city ordinances.
At the end of the day, the more you can band together with more like minded and quality operators in your area the better. The more you can educate and work with your local officials the less restrictive laws will be. This process requires at lot of work and patience, but we think it's worth it.

What Makes Apple Different?
One of the most remarkable things about Apple's (NAS: AAPL) rise to greatness has been the relatively small number of people who have driven its success. Steve Jobs was obviously the mastermind, but those directly beneath him hold an unusual amount of control over product design.
The secrecy-laden process Apple uses is one of the things responsible for its success and also what makes it so unique in the product world.
A peak inside the beast
The process of how a company innovates is often just as important as what a company innovates. The process allows innovation to take place year to year, generation to generation. In most companies, the ideas, innovations, and inventions come from within the organization, especially after they reach a size where executives are less hands-on in day-to-day lab work.
For instance, at 3M (NYS: MMM) , where I worked as an engineer in all levels of the lab, the process for innovation came from the ground up. An idea came from the lab or marketing, and if it was technically feasible, prototypes were made and it was discussed among multiple groups to develop an idea of market size, project budget, timeline, etc. Once these things were defined, it could be brought before a director or vice president for approval to move forward. This is the same way Google (NAS: GOOG) has developed products including Gmail, Google Maps, and Android.
In my experience, (good) ideas didn't come from the top down, and we spent more time fighting to keep promising projects alive than getting help to make them better. Look up any history of the Post-It Note and you'll see that management tried to kill the project multiple times.
Apple is completely opposite, and very unique, in its approach. Low-level workers rarely know the details of the products they're working on until after they're released. The trade secrets and innovation happen at higher levels, all the way up to the CEO.
The level of secrecy at Apple impacts how things are done. At 3M, if I had a problem, I could go talk to another group about it and find a solution. As Fortune recently pointed out, when Apple employees are outside of work, discussing work is discouraged.
The impact
This innovation process allows those in charge at Apple to view the whole picture when developing products. The App Store was developed alongside the iPhone, features from the iOS operating system can migrate to Mac, and the iCloud can work across Apple's products. This would be much harder to do without the stringent controls that push information up to the highest levels.
As a result, Apple can line up critical partners before products are finished, shortening launch times and ensuring that critical services will be available at launch. In a bottom-up product development, the product would come first and things like third-party apps, wireless partners, and even integrated apps would come after most of the development was done.
With the iPhone, Apple was able to sign a lucrative contract with AT&T (NYS: T) before it even showed AT&T a product, giving an unknown product legitimacy from one of the largest wireless carriers. Netflix and The New York Times both had applications at the launch of the iPad, giving it a launching point when some were skeptical it could be a success.
Apple's product development process also ensures a level of consistency and quality across products. But what works for Apple won't necessarily translate to other companies. For a company like 3M, which has tens of thousands of products, the same consistency is impossible.
Meanwhile, Apple makes only a handful of products, even after all of its expansion. So a small number of people can have the bandwidth to be involved with design and building a strategic plan. If Apple made more products, the same level of involvement wouldn't be possible.
The danger
While wildly successful over the past decade, the danger for Apple is that too much power and intellectual property reside in a few people at the top of the organization. Steve Jobs was known to tinker over everything from color to the type of screw used in products, and that worked when he had control of everything Apple did. Tim Cook is a different personality; he's a supply chain expert, not an innovative designer. That responsibility now falls to Jonathan Ive, Scott Forstall, Eddy Cue, and the whole management team.
How Apple handles the transition of responsibility will determine its success.

I have been told that there are two types of very dangerous women when it comes to the assault on men's purity: those who know what they've got, and those that don't. Let me explain:
The other kind of dangerous woman, is the one who does not know what it does to a man when she dresses immodestly. These women may have low self-esteem, think of themselves as unattractive, or assume women in general are not a big temptation for men. Either way, they tend to be lazier with their dress because they undermine the influence they're making.
Both kinds of women touch too much, reveal too much, and manipulate (intentionally or unintentionally).
The balance comes when a girl has a general understanding of what impact she can make on men, but rather than using it for self-gratification, she uses it to protect them.
|The lovely Brooke Sweeney; Photo Credd to Becca Crumrine
Not to be too Humanist, but to an extent it's not really the gal's fault most times; her behavior is a result of the way she has been conditioned according to her environment. Besides the obvious cultural influence of the media, at the root of it, many girls turn to this avenue of self-gratification because their fathers failed to provide the solid love they needed to thrive. Girls need to feel accepted, protecting, loved and liked by their fathers and father figures, or a false concept of worth is subconsciously formed in her mind. When there is a void, she seeks to fill it. The easiest way to get that attention (what she believes is filling the void) is to get a boy's attention the quickest way possible.
It is not always the fathers' fault, and never completely his fault; indeed, it all comes down to choice. We are responsible for our actions and attitudes to an unbiased God. When we get to the other side God isn't gonna let us gals slide for stealing mens' purity under the guise that "it was Daddy's fault; he didn't love me enough."
Another reason girls succumb to becoming cheapened, is because they are ignorant of their actual worth. Ahh, this is what makes my heart break... If only they knew that the God of the Universe is head over heals with them!! that He created them specifically and beautifully!!
It is one of the biggest issue that tugs at my heart strings. Seeing my girls, all beautiful, and unique, entirely unique, believing the lie that they're worth less because they aren't skinny or aren't curvy, that they have no chances of finding a man because they aren't worth a second glance, that they're ugly.
God does not create ugly.
Feel free to disagree, but I believe it. If the God of the Universe took the time to care about how many freckles are on my face, or what the perfect color for my eyes are, I must be valuable.
This is the bottom line, my ultimate agenda: I want my girls to be able to walk with dignity, knowing that they are beautiful, fully-loved, highly-valued Daughters of The King. I want them to live with confidence, knowing that they are honoring their Savior, their Lover, with the way they dress (with their clothing and their good deeds).
There are so many more worthwhile pursuits other than shoving yourself into the mold of 'Miss Perfect.' Isn't loving, and thriving, and living a love-offering to Jesus far more fulfilling? far more fun?

I hope, in some way, this was encouraging, or opened your eyes to a new perspective. Know that God does not create worthless people, or purpose-less people. In fact, He created you purposefully!

Declassify Bluestar documents, demand Akalis
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, February 6
In the wake of steaming debate on UK's advisory role in Operation Bluestar, the Akalis today upped the ante against the government demanding immediate de-classification of correspondence between the Indian and British Governments during that period.
The demand for making official documents public got shriller with Akali MPs in both Houses giving notices for adjournment motion to discuss the issue which they termed as one of "grave national importance."
The notices given by Bathinda MP Harsimrat Badal in the Lok Sabha and Naresh Gujral in the Rajya Sabha could not be taken up as Houses were adjourned amid ruckus on several issues.
The Akalis, however, vowed to keep up the pressure on the Congress-led government saying the country must know whether the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sought the advice on the operation only from the UK or more nations.
With the BJP throwing its weight behind the Shiromani Akali Dal, the MPs of both parties said declassification of documents was equally important to reveal the real motive behind the operation.
Talking to The Tribune, Rajya Sabha MP Naresh Gujral said: "The documents declassified in the UK show the correspondence pertaining to the military offensive on the Golden Temple had been going on for at least six months before the actual attack took place. The entire operation was premeditated.
"We are seeking immediate declassification of official correspondence to know if the operation was actually a deep-rooted conspiracy to play the anti-Sikh card to give Congress an electoral advantage," he said.
The Akali-BJP combine said it would continue to protest in Parliament.
"The anti-Sikh sentiment was being fanned by the Centre from 1982 when India organised the Asian Games. Every Sikh entering Delhi was searched at the border. No exception was made even for top military officers. We want to know why Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was not arrested when he was at Mehta Chowk and later at Guru Nanak Niwas outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar," said Gujral.
All Akali MPs said it was important to know what exactly went into the planning of the operation.
"The fact remains that the then PM did not even take Parliament into confidence over seeking foreign advice over an internal matter," Gujral said.
Rafale deal deferred, probe on: Antony
Tribune News Service
New Delhi, February 6
In what could mean a delay in the Indian Air Force modernisation plan, Defence Minister AK Antony today said the government was probing complaints on the procedures of calculating the life cycle costs of procuring the 126 Rafale fighter jets from France.
Significantly, Antony also said the government had no money and the deal could not be signed in this financial year. But he said the deal was in progress. The deal will be finalised in 2014-15.
Replying to queries, Antony said, "The Government is looking into complaints against the procedure of calculating the life cycle cost. The issue is not yet settled. Before bringing the deal before the Cabinet Committee on Security for final approval, we would like to get clear on this aspect".
Life cycle cost is the cost to operate the aircraft, its spares, engines and wear and tear to various parts.
French Rafale fighter aircraft was the lowest bidder in the medium-multirole combat aircraft (MMRCA) deal, which is valued at nearly $ 11 billion (Rs 66,000 cr approx).
Asked if the government would buy more Su-30MKI combat aircraft from Russia if the deal with the French aircraft manufacturer did not fructify, Antony said, "The MMRCA deal will materialise next year."
On LoC ceasefire violations, Antony said "After the talks (between DGMOs), there has been a dip in the number of such incidents. But real test will be in the summer months".
Antony said cancellation of contracts sometimes led to delays in modernisation of armed forces but the government would continue to take such actions to end malpractices and corruption in military acquisition process ".
Big guns on display at Defexpo India
Ajay Banerjee
Tribune News Ser vice
New Delhi, February 6
International gun-makers have made a strong presence at the 8th Defexpo India-2014 that started in New Delhi today. It is a loud knock at the doors of an indecisive Indian Defence establishment, which has a chronic shortage in artillery guns, severely impacting readiness.
Indian Army's field artillery rationalisation plan has projected the need to buy some 1,985 artillery guns of various types that will bolster attack capabilities in varied terrain across the country. The contracts once done will run into billions of dollars and all guns have the same 155 mm barrel but will have different movement ability and weight.
The DG Artillery of the Indian Army and his team today went around checking the offerings. Some of the guns on display will be put on trial while other producers await a final nod to sign the contract. On show is the Indian version of the Swedish produced Bofors. It is based on design and drawings of the original gun and has been produced by the Ministry of Defence owned Ordnance Factory Board.
The prototype of the gun will go for winter trials in Sikkim this month. The DG's team and the OFB have been working closely and the Army has expressed satisfaction at the gun. It may see it as possible replacement of the Bofors. At least 144 will be made in the first lot.
On the purchase list is the BAE produced M777 ultra-light howitzer, also of the 155 MM variety. This will equip the newly raised mountain strike corps. A decision is pending at the highest level in the Indian Government. A US congressional notification deadline, allowing for the sale of 145 such artillery pieces to India at a cost of US $ 647 Million, expired on October 15 last year. John Brosnan, Mangaing Director BAE India said" The sooner India decides the better".
Larsen and Toubro, which is majorly into defence, it had produced the hull for the Indian nuclear submarine, the INS Arihant, has tied up with French gun-maker Nexter and has two offerings. A gun mounted on truck and named 'Caesar'. This is for the autonomous gun systems needed by India. These can be moved around independently.
Tata, which has stepped into the defence sector, has tied up with South African gun maker Denel to bring about a truck mounted gun. The gun could go for testing in the coming weeks to a firing range in central India.
The list of must-do for the artillery includes 145 pieces of the ULH, 1,580 towed guns of 155mm/52 calibre, 100 tracked guns of 155mm/52 calibre, 180 wheeled and self-propelled guns of 155mm/52 calibre.
India-China boundary talks on Feb 10, 11

Within days of hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, India is set to engage with China on the protracted boundary dispute.
Special representatives (SRs) of India and China on the boundary dispute will hold their 17th meeting in New Delhi on February 10-11. National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon and Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi, a former Foreign Minister, are the respective SRs for the two countries for finding a political settlement of the boundary issue. The two SRs would also discuss bilateral, regional and international issues of mutual interest, an official announcement said.
The visiting Chinese leader will also launch the "Year of India-China Friendly Exchanges" on February 11.
3 jawans stab passengers on train in Assam
Rangia, February 6
Three jawans from the 3rd Sikh LI regiment allegedly stabbed two passengers on a train when they protested against defence personnel occupying all seats with their belongings at the Rangia railway station in Assam's Kamrup district today.
The three jawans have been identified as Subedar Balwant Singh and sepoys Bhupinder Singh and G Singh, GRP sources said.
The Government Railway Police (GRP) here said they took into custody the three jawans and the Military Commanding Officer from the Army's Red Horns Mountain Division here was interrogating them.
The jawans had boarded the NJP-Moriani Siphung passenger train at New Jalpaiguri this morning and allegedly occupied all seats of the general compartment by force with their
belongings. — PTI
Joint command: Theme for a Chinese dream
The unified structure being adopted by China will lead to the strengthening of its military prowess to back up the country's global ambitions. In India, political waffling has so far prevented the emergence of a similar combined structure for its armed forces
Manoj Joshi
Earlier this month, a Japanese newspaper revealed that China was planning to drastically overhaul its military commands by restructuring the present seven military regions and the Second Artillery, which controls China's strategic forces, into five joint commands. Three of these would face the maritime areas of China in the East China Sea and the South China Sea while the other two would presumably look towards China's land-based adversaries, primary among these being India. Currently, the forces confronting us are primarily handled by the Chengdu military region, with a small part of Ladakh, including the Depsang Plains area, by the Lanzhou military region.
This report gained credence when a day later the China Daily cited the Chinese Ministry of Defence to confirm that China would implement a joint command system "in due course", and that it had already launched pilot schemes towards that end.
Curiously, over that weekend, the Chinese seemed to have had another thought and the Ministry of Defence declared that the earlier reports were "without basis." However, the tenor of the denial in the nationalist Global Times suggested that this disavowal was pro forma. In essence, the joint commands would be the equivalent of theatre commands where all four elements of military power — army, navy, air force and nuclear forces — would be wielded by a single commander through a unified command structure. At one level, it signals the growing sophistication of Chinese military thinking, and at another, the expansion of its military vision beyond its continental confines to the oceans and the airspace above.
Like all Chinese leaders, Xi Jinping, who became the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in November 2012, has displayed interest in military matters. The People's Liberation Army (PLA), as is well-known, owes its allegiance to the CPC and not China, the nation. Its importance to the party was reinforced by its role in the Tiananmen events in 1989. Leaders till Deng Xiaoping had been either PLA veterans or political commissars in the PLA.
In Xi's case, his father Xi Zhongxun was a noted revolutionary leader, who had led the PLA forces. More importantly, between 1979 and 1982 Xi junior had served as an assistant to Geng Biao, who was Secretary-General of the powerful Central Military Commission (CMC) , the body which oversees the PLA. As Xi set out to take command of the country, he made it a special mission to keep the PLA close to himself.
Modernising the PLA
Perhaps, the greatest indicator of this was his adoption of the notion of the "Chinese Dream" as his theme-song soon after he became the boss of the party and the military. The idea was the product of Colonel Liu Mingfu, a former professor at China's National Defence University, who wrote a book with the same name calling for policies that would enable China to surpass US as a world power. Xi's more guarded notion of the 'Chinese Dream' is the "rejuvenation" of the Chinese nation but it is clear from his remarks and policies that military power is an important component of this revival.
Xi became Chairman of the CMC at the same time that he took over as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in November 2012. He lost little time in stamping his authority over the PLA. Within two months, he carried out systematic personnel changes in key areas of the PLA command structure comprising four general departments and seven military regions, as well as passed orders to "administer the army with strictness and austerity." This is a process that has continued since.
Xi's views on matters military became apparent through his publicised tour to the Guangzhou military region in December 2012. This is the region that fronts to the South China Sea where China has made extravagant maritime boundary claims that affect Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. Interestingly, the official media used the term Guangzhou War Theatre, rather than Military Region.
Xi's message was that the state would give the PLA everything to modernise itself but in turn it wanted two things in return — an army, which would win the wars it fought, and, perhaps more important, one that was completely loyal to the Communist Party of China. To this end, the PLA needed to beef up its institutional structures and train under realistic conditions of combat and in what the Chinese call "informationised" (information technology) conditions.
As the official PLA daily quoted Xi, "We must ensure that our troops are ready when called upon, that they are fully capable of fighting, and that they must win every war."
Apart from professional ability and loyalty, Xi has stressed the need for the PLA to change its entire culture and adopt a style of "frugality and austerity." In December 2012, the PLA also passed its "Ten regulations on improving the work style of the PLA" which formally banned liquor in PLA functions, forbade the holding of big banquets and called on the PLA brass to adopt a simple style in their inspection tours.
Subsequently, in April 2013, new instructions were issued ordering the PLA and People's Armed Police generals and senior officers to spend two weeks in the frontline as enlisted soldiers. Regiment and brigade commanders were called on to do this once in three years, the division and corps commanders once in four years and higher leaders from the headquarters and military regions and districts once in five years. The idea of declassing is, of course, part and parcel of Maoist practice. But the PLA had generally been exempted from the humiliating periods when they were forced to undertake menial labour.
To go back to the issue of the joint command: Actually, the Japanese report was probably triggered by the Chinese Ministry of Defence press conference of November 28, 2013, when the spokesperson, Yang Yujun had said the PLA would deepen reform in good time, "and blaze a trail in reform on a joint operation command system with Chinese characteristics." He had gone on to add that joint operations were a compulsion of modern information-led warfare and that "the Chinese military has made explorations in that field."
Autonomous military regions
Since the emergence of the People's Republic, the number of military regions have waxed and waned from six to start with to 13 for a brief while, finally stabilising at seven in the mid-1980s. Given the way they thought of war, the Chinese deliberately made these military regions autonomous, capable of fighting a war without a central direction.
But with the compulsion of fighting highly mobile war in "informationised" conditions, as well as to take on new aerospace and maritime threats, the Chinese clearly feel the need to reorient their forces, which have become increasingly sophisticated, away from its historical reliance on ground forces, towards a command structure that can take advantage of their new capabilities over land, sea and space.
This issue has come up in the background of the Third Plenum of the Communist Party Central Committee that had taken place two weeks earlier in November 2012. While the emphasis, and a great deal of reportage, of the Plenum was on economic and governance reform, there were important decisions taken in relation to national security. For one, China had announced the creation of a National Security Council-like structure to deal with challenges in internal and external security.
The Plenum directives reiterated what Xi had been telling the PLA from the time he had taken charge: The government would clear all obstacles to PLA modernisation but the PLA itself had to reorganise, adopt new doctrines, even while remaining a force which "obeys the Party's command, is capable of winning battles and has a sound work style." Since then, writing in the Chinese media revealed that the thrust of the reform was in three areas — first, reforming the leadership mechanism in the PLA, second, optimising the size and structure of the forces and third, developing a more comprehensive education system to cultivate advanced military thinking.
The Indian dilemma
There is an interesting coincidence here since a great deal of Indian thinking and reform measures, too, have suggested the eventual move of our armed forces to the integrated theatre command concept.
Based on recommendations of the GoM that it had set up in April 2000, the NDA's Cabinet Committee on Security approved the creation of several apex new institutions and management organisations, which also laid stress on greater coordination and jointness. Among these were the Chief of Defence Staff, the Strategic Forces Command to manage all strategic forces, and a tri-Service Andaman & Nicobar Command. The CDS was the beginning point from which the Indian military would be restructured to create tri-Service theatre commands.
A committee headed by former Cabinet Secretary Naresh Chandra has also recommended the creation of a CDS-like figure. Sadly, political waffling has prevented the appointment of the CDS-like figure and hence organisational reforms that would see the emergence of theatre commands in the Indian military system remain frozen.
All military reform usually descends from the political system. Generals, as the saying goes, only tend to learn to fight the last war better. In China, clearly, the party is ensuring that its global ambitions will be backed by a military, which has the wherewithal to confront global challenges. In India, the political class has taken a leave of absence from managing the national security apparatus altogether.
Meet the Indian 'son' of Bofors
New Delhi, Feb. 6: The son of a gun is named Dhanush. Defence minister A.K. Antony and his cohorts in the armed forces are looking at it longingly.
It burst last July in the Rajasthan desert while firing. Dhanush is a derivative of —you guessed it — the Bofors.
It is here at Defexpo 2014, the show billed as a window to the world's largest arms bazaar.
Right here in the heart of Pragati Maidan, the Dhanush in olive green, its overlong barrel pointing skywards, is firing a slogan that Antony repeats like a mantra: be Indian, buy Indian. This, then, is the story of how a gun was "indigenised".
Later this month, the gun — the one here at this exhibition — is to be transported to Sikkim. The winter trials will be held there. It will be checked for accuracy, range and rate of fire; for its traverse and elevation capabilities; for its shoot-and-scoot ability.
Sounds familiar? Yes, these were the words used to describe and justify the purchase of 410 Bofors FH77B02 guns in 1987. Now, as it was then, the Indian army is bereft of big guns.
Its "field artillery rationalisation programme" has gone haywire. For nearly three decades the army has not inducted a single big gun. The Bofors bought in 1987 are being cannibalised to keep the artillery going. The army says it cannot wage war without these cannons or howitzers.
The army has projected a need for five types of howitzers: towed, self-propelled, tracked, mounted and light. In all, it needs some 18,000 pieces of artillery guns to be comfortable with its war-waging potential.
Realising the urgency, Antony went to the Gun Carriage Factory (GCF) in Jabalpore, where the Indian gun is being made, in September.
"There was pressure on us to have some kind of opening ceremony for an indigenous programme though we were yet to be prepared," says an Ordnance Development Centre officer on Antony's visit. "So we organised this ceremony to inaugurate the 155mm bay."
Antony cut the ribbon. The "155mm" bay in Jabalpore ordnance factory is the assembly line for the Dhanush. So, was the gun already made?
"No," says the official. But he explains that, at the bay, they showed the components of the gun: the trailer, the carriage, the assembly, the barrel and the breech, the muzzle brake, the cradle and the saddle, the trunnions.
"We just took apart a Bofors for the minister," the official explained, "and laid it out."
He smirked: "He (Antony) wouldn't know the difference between a 39 calibre and a 45 calibre."
The original Bofors — the Dhanush ka baap, if you will — is a 155mm/39cal gun. The Dhanush is a 155mm/45cal.
The increased calibre means a longer barrel length for a longer range. The original Bofors had a maximum effective range of 27km in the plains. The Dhanush's shell is claimed to top 35km.
The Dhanush is an improved version of the Bofors, says Tushar Tripathi, director of weapons systems at the Calcutta-headquartered Ordnance Factory Board.
The Jabalpore factory has so far manufactured six Dhanush guns. The fourth one burst during an internal trial in the Rajasthan desert last year.
Ahtesham Akhtar from GCF Jabalpore says the gun had already fired 250 rounds; so the barrel overheated. The sixth gun — on show here — is a further development.
It is ironic that India began organised manufacturing of guns more than 100 years ago. The Ichapore Rifle Factory near Calcutta was producing firearms even before WWI.
Yet, India's armed forces are short of guns and its defence industrial complex is struggling to make them. It is an axiom of truth that whatever is aplenty at the Defexpo is in serious short supply.
The latest edition of the expo of the largest arms bazaar is seeing the showcasing of several big guns: by the Tatas, who have driven a Denel-derived, truck-mounted gun all the way from Bangalore; by Larsen and Toubro, which is exhibiting a version of the French-origin Caesar/Nexter; and, of course, by BAE Systems — to which Bofors AB now belongs — which has hauled its ultra-light M777 over here yet again.
Pragati Maidan is a bayou in which to have fun with a gun.
Breathtaking adventure by Indian Air Force, Army
A canopy of colourfully descending parachutes manoeuvred by sky-divers and vrooming bullets enthralled the gathering as adventure teams of the Indian Air Force and the Army engaged in breathtaking display here today.
Locals and children's roar of approval filled the Netaji Stadium here as sky divers of IAF's Akash Ganga team emerged as dots from a speeding aircraft 8,000 feet above.
School children with their parents thronged the stadium as the sky divers descended on the scenic landscape.
Then it was time for Indian Army's Tornado Team, whose skills with 500 cc Royal Enfield bullets kept the gathering spellbound for over an hour.
The bullets, which made several rounds of display of mastery in biking and adventure received rounds of applause from the youth and children.
The martial art display of the Andaman and Nicobar Police was a treat for the audience.
The tunes of the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry and the Indian Navy was the wonderful signing off to the event.
The display was part of the ninth biennial international naval exercise MILAN-2014, a five-day event.
Country must be prepared to meet any challenge, says AK Antony
NEW DELHI: Citing the "challenging" geo-political realities around India, Defence Minister A K Antony today said the government was taking necessary steps to modernise armed forces.
He said India has always desired peace with its neighbours but peace cannot come at the cost of its security concerns.
"It is for this reason, we must be prepared to meet any challenge posed to our territorial integrity and sovereignty," the Minister said in his inaugural address at DefExpo-2014. ..

Proposal for Operation and Bunkering Facility at
Port of Hambantota
Colombo Port's New Warehouse To Be Opened
dock in Hambantota
Kiran Atapattu
Engineering Enterprises will
invest on a floating dock in
Hambantota. Colombo Engineering
Enterprises (CEE) Chairman Kiran
Atapattu said the company will
complete a floating dock in
Hambantota by early next year.
The project
will be funded in collaboration
with CEE and a Chinese company
with an investment of US$ 25
He said the
Chinese company has already
conveyed their confirmation to
build this floating dock. CEE
has completed a feasibility
study on the floating dock. The
floating dock will be capable of
handling 12,000 dead weight
tonnage (DWT).
"During the
post war scenario; we have
observed a significant number of
foreign investors have shown
their interest in investing in
Sri Lanka. Hence, the company
expects to set up a ship
repairing facility in the
Hambantota as it is an essential
factor for an international
port," Atapattu said. The
investment of the ship repairing
facility is around Rs 500
million and it is fully funded
by the CEE. The repairing
facility will be completed
within a period of one year.
He said Sri
Lanka is located in the centre
of the Eastern and the Western
shipping route, enabling to
attract many shipping lines to
place more ship repair orders
and that it would not be a
difficult task.

Replace the standard product description with customized and sales-oriented texts
This is the reason why we have designed this plugin: we realised that the plugin description texts on our home page did not faithfully represent what the plugin is, as the short text used to be taken out of the product detail page automatically. The loop text used to show a few lines of nonsense text, sometimes even broken sentences.
Looking into our customers' e-commerce websites made it clear to us that it's a common issue that any WooCommerce user experiences because almost all of their shops are showing texts that are neither market-oriented nor useful nor informative in any way for the users.
This is how we shaped YITH Product Description in Loop: a simple as well as powerful plugin that generates a textarea on the product detail page, where you can add (and format) the text that will replace the default one in WooCommerce loop.

Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge will inaugurate a new tri-weekly train between Bidar and Bangalore on September 1.
This was disclosed by former chief minister and Bidar Lok Sabha member N Dharam Singh at a press meet at the District Congress Committee office here on Sunday.
The train's inauguration will be held at the Bidar Railway Station at 12 noon. The new train will depart from Bidar at 6 pm and reach Bangalore at 8 am the next morning. On the return, it will depart Bangalore at 7 pm and reach Bidar at 8 am the next morning, he added.
"We could not change the timing of the Nanded-Bangalore Express from 12:30 pm to 5 pm despite a series of efforts. However, after Mallikarjun Kharge became the Railway Minister, the district's long-pending demand for an alternative train has been fulfilled. This has brought happiness to the people of the district and we will celebrate it in a grand manner," he said.
He pointed out that the Nanded-Bangalore Express train takes 19 hours to cover the 735 km between Bidar and Bangalore. However, the new train will help passengers save 6 to 7 hours, he said.
Dharam Singh said the Bidar-Humanabad push and pull train will also be inaugurated within a month. The demand of Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS) students seeking due recognition for the institute will be resolved within two months. "I have discussed this with Medical Education Minister Sharanprakash Patil and he has promised to solve the
issue within two months," he said. Compensation to farmers in the district who sufferred loss due to excess rain will be given soon, he added. Problems of the Bidar Sahakara Sakkare Karkhane will be solved soon and a delegation will meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah shortly, he said.

After writing The Importance of Sharing Failure, and posting the status update to Facebook, I've gotten some really great feedback. As such, I've been thinking more about it and wanted to again point out that the mirage of perfection that we see online, in magazines, and on television is just that - a mirage.
The only perfection we can hope to attain is that eternal reward of union with Christ in Heaven. That is the perfection we should be running towards. What does a thigh gap have on eternal life? Do the numbers 36-24-36 mean anything in the light of Divinity? Or is it the bulging biceps that will somehow overshadow the merits of the Sacrifice of the Cross?
Methinks not.
We all fail. It's part of our frail human natures. Even the greatest saints among us have fallen.
St. Paul spoke of the thorn in his side. He never named the sin that caused him to falter, but he understood the importance of sharing his faults so that others may benefit.
St. Augustine. Oh bless him... St. Augustine is proof that there's a chance for me yet.
Even St. Peter, himself, failed his best friend, Jesus - THREE TIMES.
We all will fail. The difference between St. Peter and Judas is that St. Peter sought forgiveness. He recognized his failing, and he sought forgiveness.
We are not perfect, folks. How lucky we are that God forgives! And yes, this ties in nicely with all the Pope Francis talk about Confession.
Run to Him. Recognize your failing as a stepping stone towards sainthood. We will all falter at some point. However, it only becomes failure if you give up and do not seek forgiveness. So long as you're still alive, you know God hasn't given up on you. Why should you give up on yourself if He hasn't?
Recognize your failings and rectify them so they become beacons of Christ's mercy. What better place to do that than in the Confessional wherein Christ wraps His arms around you and pulls you to His Sacred Heart. The absolution you hear is simply the vocalization of His beating Heart serenading you with unconditional love and boundless mercy.

Cerbère laybyJanuary 12, 2018 in France ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
With a croissant from the local boulangerie settling nicely in our stomachs we began the 80km drive towards the Spanish border. Although we haven't been going flat out it has taken us a week since leaving Will's sister's in Orpington to reach this point. We could have sailed directly from the UK to Spain but it would have meant putting Poppy in the ship kennels for a considerable length of time and we weren't prepered to do that to our highly anxious rescue dog.
On today's drive we followed the path of an estuary for a while before the road ran parallel to train tracks. All of a sudden the distant band of mountains we'd watched the sun rise over appeared much larger. Many were in silhouette but some were snowcapped and dramatic. The physical barrier of the Pyrenees led inland from the Mediterranean Sea, stretching right the way to the Atlantic Ocean on the other side of the French/Spanish land mass.
After a detour to pick up supplies from Lidl (the French E.Leclerc supermarché had height barriers 😤) the van was climbing through mountain valleys. We had chosen to take the coast road and were so glad we did! The weather still being bright and windy, we were afforded stunning views of the sparkling azure sea flecked white with breaking waves. The route was steep and winding as it took us round headlands and into deeply indented coves where pale villages with terracotta rooftops clung to the valley sides.
Even at this time of year the earth and grasses appeared scorched. Prickly Pear cacti grew wild outside the stoney terraced vineyards. We really did feel like we'd entered a different world. The stopover Will had found on Park4Night was amazing. A large fenced off layby above the picturesque village of Cerbère, it was inside a cove with a view down the precipitous rocky slope to the wild sea. The sun was shining brightly when we arrived and the view was so beautiful it was difficult not to pop with happiness!
After lunch we scrambled down the zig zag shingle path to the pebble beach. Most of it was now in the shadow of the mountainside but Vicky climbed up some rocks and found a spot of sun to lie in (albeit in her thick padded coat) while Will attempted to fish. Unfortunately the wind was again far too strong and he had brought the wrong equipment. He ended up slipping over on wet rocks while trying to retrieve the top half of his rod and ripping part if his fingernail away from his finger. Ouch! Never mind, the shock only dampened his spirits for a little while and after a sweet cup of tea and some chocolate cookies his cleaned and bandaged finger wasn't going to stop him appreciating the gorgeous view and being excited about going to Spain the next day!Read more
No pic of the wounded hand? 🧐
We didn't think Will raising his bloody middle finger to the camera was a very edifying sight. It is a lot better today 😀
😂 I'm pleased to hear recovery is underway...

Beef by-products enable us to use 99% of every beef animal.
Beef by-products serve as source materials for other industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles.
We normally associate beef as being part of a satisfying meal. However, because 99% of the beef animal is utilized, items
manufactured from beef by-products are all around us. Yogurt, car tires, drywall and a variety of medicines all contain a beef
The medical world relies on beef by-products for many life saving or life improving medications and treatments. Our bodies can
easily accept a medication or treatment made with beef by-products. Although some medical products and treatments are made
from synthetic ingredients, many are still made more economically from beef cattle, thus helping to keep the cost of our health care
Some frequently used medical products made from beef by-products include trypsin (for cleansing wounds and ulcers),
corticotrophin (for treating allergies, arthritis and respiratory diseases), iron (for treating anemia), thrombin (for blood coagulation),
and a huge range of other valuable pharmaceutical products.
Beef by-products are also used in all sorts of mechanical items. For example, chemical manufacturers use the fatty acids of inedible
beef fats and proteins for the production of lubricants and fluids. From industrial cleaners and fertilizers to printing ink and high
gloss for magazines, many useful products are created from beef cattle.
Automobile and bicycle tires contain stearic acid, which makes the rubber hold its shape under continuous surface friction. Even the
asphalt on our roadways contains a binding agent derived from the fat of beef cattle.
The creation of beef by-products is an important way for the beef industry to
reduce, reuse and recycle.
