The smile on your face says it all.
On our way to the train station- we were taking the Chunnel to London - my sister and her daughter took a separate taxi from the one my daughter and I took. Ours got into an accident. We were in Paris, didn't speak the language and we realized that my sister had our passports, money, tickets,etc. Boy were we glad that the taxi drivers settled it quickly and we met up with my sister. I guess there would be worse things than to be stuck in Paris.

1) My rose bushes are covered with buds, but this Angel Face greeted the world before all the rest.
And here's a close-up of the blossoms on our Banana Shrub. Tiny as they are, they fill the whole backyard with the fragrance of—you guessed it: bananas. Or maybe Juicy Fruit gum.
2) Aliens have landed in my manuscript. No tinfoil hats here: I'm telling the truth! While the USA was sending austronauts into orbit, Dr. Frank Stranges was traveling the evangelical circuit, weaving together Scriptures and stories about UFOs and "Strangers at the Pentagon." I needed a short break from my revisions, so I donned my Nancy Drew gumshoes and tracked down a Hollywood insider who knew him well. Among other things, we discussed the night Dr. Frank brought his ministry to my father's church in Dallas, Texas.
Another day, I'll tell you about that fabulous adventure. Today, though, I'm firmly grounded in my plans to finish up in Baltimore. After
much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth lots of revisions, I ending up tearing the chapter apart and starting over. Pit stop over, I'm revving my engines again. Another productive day or so of writing, and I'll be ready to move on to Ashland, Pennsylvania. Vroom vroom!

Keith Channing
Writer and Photographer in United Kingdom
Keith Channing
Writer and Photographer in United Kingdom
After a career that included two decades in the insurance business followed by two decades in IT, I was made redundant towards the end of 2005. At the tender age of 56, I took early retirement. We sold up and moved to France where we stayed for thirteen years. The change from insurance to IT had evolved over a period of eight years, during which I worked with a construction company; a job that saw me spend five years in Dubai, two years in Tanzania and six months in Nigeria. The time in Dubai gave opportunities for holidays in much of the Middle- and Far-East, opportunities that weren't wasted. Dubai and, perhaps to a greater extent, Tanzania, had an enormous effect on shaping my world view and my way of looking at life.
Although I have been blogging since 2006, the writing bug didn't really hit me until after I took a TESOL course with Global English and a proofreading course with the Writers Bureau - both exercises in learning for its own sake. I followed them with a creative writing (novel & short story) course and started writing fiction for the first time in more than fifty years.
Now? I am back in the UK and living in South Yorkshire with my wife Clare and our two dogs. I mostly make up and write lies (although the odd bit of truth creeps in sometimes) for pleasure, and for publication on my blog at keithkreates.com. Most of what I write is prose, although I produce the odd rhyme and probably more limericks than is decent.
I have one short novel self-published electronically and others under revision. I also take the odd photograph here and there.
I'm not driven by the quest for money or recognition. I just enjoy writing and sharing my output with anyone who wants to read it.
I have no religious affiliation, but I will always respect anyone's sincerely held and practised religious beliefs, as long as they don't disrespect my position or anyone else's beliefs. Deal?
Oh yes. INFJ-T.

Warrendale, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/18/2018 -- Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc. will participate in the IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition and Conference, April 16-19, 2018 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. The company will exhibit its recently launched 5 kV Vacuum Circuit Breaker, which is designed for use within power distribution substations and various industrial applications.
Key features of the 5 kV Vacuum Circuit Breaker include:
- Next-generation bushing constructed of an outdoor-rated, hydrophobic, cycloaliphatic, epoxy material
The bushing design provides superior weight, tensile strength, UV protection and structural integrity
The bushings are combined with bent terminals for easy connection to live parts
- Compact, NEMA 3x housing capable of fitting within the footprint of existing legacy oil circuit breakers
- Patented modular switchgear assembly built to last the lifetime of the circuit breaker
Designed for reliability over its entire lifecycle with no degradation between required maintenance cycles
Simple plug and play design for easy maintenance
- Ergonomic and compact control panel swings out from the unit and unfolds for easy access and technician safety
"The reliable 5kV circuit breaker, which has a 2-foot by 2-foot physical footprint, has a number of applications," said Linda DeJulio, general manager, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc., Electrical Distribution Division. "And because it fits within the same footprint, and upon the same concrete pad, compact vault or other constrained space of legacy oil breakers, it can significantly reduce the cost to replace these older oil breakers."

How is it no longer unusual to read Shakespeare through a Postcolonial lens ?

Provoked by the question, research into this idea was necessary. Upon completion, one commonality is found (defined by Cambridge Collections Online: Shakespeare Survey Volume 62: "Close Encounters with Shakespeare's Text").
Close encounters with Shakespeare viewed through a post-colonial lens illustrate that culture is hybrid.
Postcolonial theory typically tends to look at how a culture functions under the power of a different culture. While this may sound confusing, it is no more than the examination of a culture who is controlled and influenced by another.
What this means is that Shakespeare's works can be examined through a Postcolonial lens based upon the fact that his background is a blending of two very diverse cultures and/or traditions. Personally, Shakespeare was a practical person. Ironically, the characters in his plays are not. Essentially, his characters contrast his person so greatly that one could state that he and his characters are culturally different. This is where one could apply a Postcolonial lens to his plays.
For example, Lady Macbeth (Macbeth) is very impractical. At one point in the play, she prays to be "unsexed" in order to have the recognized power which men typically possessed. She fails to see ambition in her husband. That said, she prays for the power to be a man. Shakespeare, himself, as a practical person, would recognize the ridiculousness of this.
One other tie to Postcolonialism brought up, in the article mentioned above, is the idea that "long after our own cultural artifacts reveal that binary models are an artificial and inadequate way to understand how people live" people will include the in the idea of "how they live with Shakespeare." This refers to the idea that Shakespeare is a culture of his own. Reading into his works, critics can apply a Postcolonial lens to the texts based upon Shakespeare's place in society as a literaryy institution (or power).

Just in time for winter solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year, my cousin gave me an invaluable gift. She called with news that she has the pictured decorative glasses that once belonged to our great great grandmother, Tempy Burton and our great grandmother, Josephine Burton Ford.
She took them out of the house where our grandmother used to live in New Orleans just before Hurricane Katrina hit. I never even knew the glasses existed.
While I've seen pictures of Tempy as a slave in Mississippi, I've never seen a picture of Josephine. This glass is the first tangible item of Josephine's that I've come across. Up until now, she's been a statistic on a few census reports and a marriage certificate, a shared name with my father, Joseph Burton Ford. But with this discovery, she's a real woman who according to the inscriptions on the glass was sometimes called Josie Ford and in 1905 visited Mt. Clemens, Michigan. Maybe she drank from that glass every night with dinner to be reminded of that town in Michigan known as Bath City because of its mineral waters or maybe she took a ceremonial sip from it just once a year on a special occasion. Maybe, she guarded the glass behind lock and key like my grandmother, Lillie Mae did and only brought it out at the request of inquisitive relatives.
Grandma Lillie Mae showed me a similar kind of glass trimmed with gold on a visit almost 15 years ago. She barely let my fingers graze the gold trim before she quickly returned it to the curio cabinet where she kept it and all of her other treasures literally under lock and key. I'd gone to see her at her home just outside of the French Quarters on the eve of my wedding with the express purpose of finding out about our family's history. All I left with were a few scribbles on my notebook, an indecipherable tape recording, and a distaste for her house. It was in bad shape. Her cat and the detritus he liked to drag in from outside didn't help nor did her penchant for hanging onto everything from 40 year old Christmas cards to old newspaper clippings. The house's sagging porch and Grandma's backhanded greeting of, "Is that you Dionne? You look like you've gained a little weight," weren't that welcoming. Grandma Lillie Mae and her house were a lot alike: hard to take, but enduring. Both managed to shelter five children, safeguarded our family's treasures and weathered innumerable hurricanes including Katrina. Now, they're both gone.
Grandma Lillie Mae's house burned down this weekend. Grandma wasn't in it (she died in May at the age of 98), but my uncle was. That's why my cousin, Shawnique was really calling, to tell me her dad, my uncle, Henry suffered burns bad enough to put him in the hospital until the New Year. I'm praying for his speedy recovery. While I can't say I'm sorry to see that old house go, I am sorry that my cousin and I, born only a month apart, who used to write each other with the same frequency that people now update their facebook status had to be reunited under the veil of bad news. We said we'd stay in better touch after seeing each other at Grandma Lillie Mae's funeral back in May and indeed we have, sending a text here and there, trying to make plans for a visit. Now this.
It isn't lost on me that this discovery about Josephine and Tempy's glasses came on the heels of the fire.
Winter solstice ceremonies often involve fire, a symbolic cleansing to clear a path for hopes in the coming year. So, I'm hoping our family fire holds promise of renewed health for my uncle, renewed alliances for Shawnique and me, and renewal of our shared history through more discoveries about Tempy, Josephine and the rest of our clan.
Here's to hope in the fire – Happy Winter Solstice everyone.

SWINDON is to have the country's first town-wide 4G internet network.
Swindon Council announced the plans, which come in the wake of the ill-fated wi-fi project.
The first borough-wide 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network in the UK will be available for subscription by homeowners and businesses.
The superfast network, which differs from other forms of broadband because users do not need a phone line, was set to go live for all but the periphery of the town today.
It will be followed later this month by a microwave network, which has been created in partnership with Swindon Council IT service provider Capita, and will provide capability for ultrafast broadband connections to schools, businesses and the local authority.
The introduction of both new networks marks investments made by UK Broadband (UKB) entirely at its own cost.
Council leader Roderick Bluh said: "It will open up so many different opportunities for us as a council and for households and businesses."
It is estimated that the network will allow more than 67,000 households and 2,600 businesses in Swindon to access superfast broadband via a 4G box that can be plugged into any power socket.
Swindon's previous venture into borough-wide wifi was Digital City, a partnership between the council and the private sector which was launched in 2009.
It collapsed after failing to deliver on promises to provide a wifi network, although a pilot scheme in Highworth was set up. Controversy over a loan of £400,000 by the local authority to the company has never abated.
The first of two phases of the new project offers a range of wireless broadband services to residents and businesses as a flexible alternative to fixed line broadband. Phase two will offer mobile services and this is expected to happen next Spring.
The network will first connect a significant number of council service sites, then be extended to support other council services and local businesses.
Councillor Bluh (Con, Old Town) said: "This technology will allow us to be much more flexible in terms of how we operate, while it has the capability to provide traffic calming solutions and improve our CCTV network.
"But perhaps the most exciting possibility is how it could be used to help older, vulnerable people to live independently in their homes. Using high speed broadband, we can provide technology in the home to enable older people to connect more closely with the people supporting them.
"We will be working with our internal teams, partners and the community to identify innovative ideas for further use of the network."

Which of the following devices should get higher priority in assigning interrupts?
Check this: https://gateoverflow.in/1657/gate1998-1-20
It should be a Hard disk. I don't think there is a rule like that. But hard disk makes sense compared to others here.
No. I do not know what that buffer is even. See here for working of harddisk
When I read problem, I felt it should be keyboard, as initially BIOS is loading and it has to respond to any commands from keyboard. Till that disk is not yet accessed. And any command fed from keyboard has to be abided over anything from disk (as I already said disk is not loaded, so in fact nothing will come from disk). So as a pure command input, keyboard should be given higher priority.
But then I read the answer and it says disk. So I googled it a bit and come up with these links which also think keyboard should be the answer:
So whats right?
@Arjun Sir
why transfer rate matters here? Priority is based on how critical a device is. In many real-time systems, a keyboard should have the top priority but on a computer system, I guess this is a bit ambiguous.
The speed of I/O devices matters here because if we talk about keyboard then one can maximum type 3-4 characters in 1 sec. and within 1 sec, our CPU can execute millions of instructions(MIPS) depends on a frequency of the processor, main memory, and cache data transfer rate is faster than a keyboard, printer, scanner etc..
If CPU will service interrupt of the keyboard then there will be a chance that MM which has high data generating speed within some buffer, we might lose some data that is the reason CPU has to first service interrupt of higher speed device than compare to slower ones. That is how interrupt driven priority based I/O implemented.
Devices with high speed transfer such as Hard disk (according to given options it has high speed among all) are given high priority, and slow devices such as keyboard receive low priority.
So, clearly Hard disk is answer. Option (A).

I shall give you, under this Head, a Story
very well known to several
I shall conclude this Discourse with an Advantage mentioned by Quintilian, as accompanying a Publick way of Education, which I have not yet taken notice of; namely, That we very often contract such Friendships at School, as are a Service to us all the following Part of our Lives.
I shall give you, under this Head, a Story
very well known to several
Persons, and which you may depend upon as a real Truth.
Every one, who is acquainted with Westminster-School, knows that there is a Curtain which used to be drawn a-cross the Room, to separate the upper School from the lower. A Youth happened, by some Mischance, to tear the above-mentioned Curtain: The Severity of the Master [2] was too well known for the Criminal to expect any Pardon for such a Fault; so that the Boy, who was of a meek Temper, was terrified to Death at the Thoughts of his Appearance, when his Friend, who sat next to him, bad him be of good Cheer, for that he would take the Fault on himself. He kept his word accordingly. As soon as they were grown up to be Men the Civil War broke out, in which our two Friends took the opposite Sides, one of them followed the Parliament, the other the Royal Party.
As their Tempers were different, the Youth, who had torn the Curtain, endeavoured to raise himself on the Civil List, and the other, who had born the Blame of it, on the Military: The first succeeded so well, that he was in a short time made a Judge under the Protector. The other was engaged in the unhappy Enterprize of Penruddock and Groves in the West. I suppose, Sir, I need not acquaint you with the Event of that Undertaking. Every one knows that the Royal Party was routed, and all the Heads of them, among whom was the Curtain Champion, imprisoned at Exeter. It happened to be his Friends Lot at that time to go to the Western Circuit: The Tryal of the Rebels, as they were then called, was very short, and nothing now remained but to pass Sentence on them; when the Judge hearing the Name of his old Friend, and observing his Face more attentively, which he had not seen for many Years, asked him, if he was not formerly a Westminster-Scholar; by the Answer, he was soon convinced that it was his former generous Friend; and, without saying any thing more at that time, made the best of his Way to London, where employing all his Power and Interest with the Protector, he saved his Friend from the Fate of his unhappy Associates.
The Gentleman, whose Life was thus preserv'd by the Gratitude of his School-Fellow, was afterwards the Father of a Son, whom he lived to see promoted in the Church, and who still deservedly fills one of the highest Stations in it. [3]

Forensic Psychology, University of Kent
A short film to introduce the Forensic Psychology division of the University of Kent (CORE-FP) following the ESRC impact award for the work of Professor Theresa Gannon and her team. Filmed on location at the University of Kent campus, NHS and HM Prison Swaleside on the Isle of Sheppey. A really great team at Kent who appreciate what it takes to make a good film including the hard-fought access to film in prisons and secure hospital environments to bring the film alive. Check out Theresa's presentation skills and voice over – a second career in TV maybe? Click on the image icon on the right to see the film.
UK's first driverless car trial in Milton Keynes
This short of the Lutz Pathfinder autonomous vehicle was versioned for social media platforms. We spent all day with the world's media outside Milton Keynes Central Station to get our slot but it was well worth it.
Unlike other systems, the Pathfinder is not dependent on GPS but instead uses a combination cameras and lasers to find its way and negotiate obstacles. The software has been developed by Paul Newman (Professor of Information Engineering at the University of Oxford) who EPSRC have funded for more than ten years. A good example of how long term funding pays back with world leading innovation for the UK.

MRC Cancer Trials
This film was part of a series to help prostate cancer patients understand the process of the STAMPEDE cancer trials. The films were commissioned by the Medical Research Council's Clinical Trails Unit which is now part of the Universirty of London (UCL.)
STAMPEDE is a mult-arm trial which helps speed up the trials process to get patients new gold standard treatments faster.
Filmed with the help of staff and patients at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital with interviews and narration by the MRC CTU's Annabelle South.
National Prison Radio
This short was made for the Radio Academy to celebrate 10 years of National Prison Radio. The film is presented by the BBC's Paddy O'Connell who hosted this year's festival at the British Library. We spent the day at Brixton Prison talking to the prisoners who make the programmes and listen in the cells.
We also filmed the making of an edition of Inside Out at BBC New Broadcasting House. This programme features advice from former inmates and is made in partnership with BBC Outreach and the Prison Radio Association.
Thanks to Nicci Holliday from the Radio Academy and Phil Maguire from the PRA and getting us the very unusual access to make this film.
Meet FAAM
FAAM (the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement) is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office(TM) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world. Click on the thumb on the left to see the film.
The modified BAe 146-301 large Atmospheric Research Aircraft is owned by the Natural Environment Research Council with support from BAE Systems. Its role is to undertake science campaigns for the scientific community. It's an important resource for understanding everything from weather prediction to climate change.
I was lucky enough to spend the day with along with BBC crew on one of FAAM's missions. I filmed researchers at work at 30,000 feet to make this film to introduce FAAM to the wider world.

2012 Directed by: Prabhudeva Rowdy Rathore is a badly sewn together quilt of two entirely different films. On one hand, a violent action film; on the other a throw back to 90s SRK-Kajol-YRF blockbusters. Though disjunctive it manages to work as … Continue reading
Mothers and Daughters
Just a normal conversation with my mother. She never responded. :(
Gems From a 7am Sunday Meeting
Boss, who is notoriously anti makeup, hair dryers and perfume: who you trying to look good for anyway? It's work. Well, I know Lisa has her clients from down stairs, and Norma has hers from down the block, and Erin has all the bankers upstairs, BUT…
Me: Way to make it sound like a brothel.
I Must Love You
Oh Blog Child of mine, look how I am giving you gossip TWO days in a row! I must be addled!
I am starving. Unfortunately we had a film crew in the house all day, so the left overs we usually have from lunch were gobbled up and we are left without in my house and the cook made her exit five hours ago. I have a real hankering for eggs on toast, and we have both eggs and bread but I'm somewhat daunted by having to make eggs on a plate over an open-flame stove top.
I'm such a spoiled little gori cook.
Today we shot for my coworker's film, an expose on Rickshaw-wallah's daily lives. It was fun, and a day full of firsts, of which I shall list out and explain in full Erin style!
1. First Sunburn: I don't burn. Ever. I've never turned pink, but I'm looking at my face and my chest right now, and it's red. Lobster red. I blame my coworker for forcing us to film her film from the hours of noon to three. Outside. In the middle of the street. I'm actually not that upset, but as I'm allergic to sunscreen (all types) I knew I was at least going to come home a little toasty. I was basically on-hand as "recorder" and I just took pictures of her recording video… ok, and I was flirting with all the people who came by to watch… and I'm talking, there were crowds. All they saw was camera equipment and a white girl and WAKAOW! we were swarmed. I rather enjoyed it, since I wasn't doing any actual work and I was quite a hit with all the little children, since I accidentally let all the Mango Bites spill out of my purse at convenient times.
2. My first ride on a motorcycle: I have a scooter, a dilapidated Vespa that can't top more than 10 M.P.H. and I basically use to just putter around my housing edition. Today I was seated on the backseat of a legit Hero Honda (pardon me while I giggle a tad) behind SANDEEEEEP (whom I love) as we drove from shooting location to shooting location. Why have I never traveled in this manner before? It's so free, and it's a hell of a lot faster than an Autorickshaw… or car. Plus, there are those moments where the driver takes a sharp turn and you have to timidly grab hold of his shoulder…
No, I don't take myself seriously.
3. My first hit-and-run. Times two!: The first time I was not paying attention to where I was standing (in the middle of a busy road) while I was taking pictures. A BMW came up, slowly, and nicely informed me of its presence by bumping into me. I blew a kiss at the driver (I'm truly insane) and got out of the way. The second time I was literally rammed down by an Autorickshaw. I didn't fall, since that would have just been unpardonably embarrassing, but I do have a nice single-tire bruise on my ankle. Ha! I hope it scars!*
4. I saw a naked uncle: Uhhh. I don't really know if I want to talk about the Rickshaw driver actor who was forced to take a bath by my coworker in the vein of "artistic integrity". Call me a prude, but there was a score of intense blushing and eye-covering throughout the entire process. Oh dear, I'm so going to be having nightmares about that.
5. My first milk candy: I don't know what milk candy is, but Oy Hoy if it isn't delicious! The end.
Oh, I shoot my movie on Thursday, and then Saturday I go home. Can there be a collective sigh and tear shed for me please?
And no, we're not going to talk about my film, because I think it's pretty awful. Confined to 5 minutes, I couldn't quite put on the Filmi Epic complete with scars, lost twins, Shashi and sword fighting item numbers that I so desired.
*Yes, I just hoped that a bruise would scar. I bet it would happen in some Masala.

Here in the United States, the court systems have moved fairly quickly to get a lawsuit between tech giants Apple and Samsung, first filed in April 2011, to court by August 2012. In just more than a week, the court will deal with the appeal process following the billion-dollar ruling during the summer.
Germany, on the other hand, has already dealt with two lawsuits: one in April 2011 and one in December 2011. Some parts of the cases are still wrapping up due to appeals and such, but the German court system should be done with the ordeal by the end of January.
This isn't some big rush on the part of German courts. That's just how much quicker their law system handles these issues. Mind you, I haven't sat and compared how many cases are on the schedule for German court systems, but still, that's a pretty substantial difference.
Samsung Could Win an Injunction against Apple 3G Devices in Germany
Apple and Samsung are at odds right now about… well, a lot of things, but patent EP1720373 is our focus for the sake of this article. The patent is for a "method and apparatus for reporting inter-frequency measurement using RACH message in a communication system".
I don't mind saying that the definition seems more than a little convoluted, but suffice it to say that German courts are viewing the process and the device covered by the patent are potentially essential elements of 3G technology. We'll get back to the whole "essential" part in just a moment.
Basically Samsung is saying that Apple is infringing on Samsung's patented processes on 3G devices, but Apple claims that the frequency measurement does not happen in the same chip as it does in Samsung devices. If Samsung can prove otherwise, then Apple may be in a difficult position.
It's possible that a German injunction against Apple devices using 3G could begin as early as February, 2013
Why "Essential" Could be a Big Deal
Here's the tricky part of all of this. The European Commission is working on its own version of FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) rates for "essential" patents. If the Commission decides that Samsung's patented process and apparatus are, in fact, essential elements of 3G-device design, then that patent would fall under the new rules.
The rules of FRAND, or whatever the European Commission would call it, mean that companies owning those patents have to set a reasonable fee for other companies to pay in order to use that technology. The patent-owning companies still get money from everyone, but they don't get as much.
If the German court awards Samsung a victory in this dispute, then Samsung could have precedence to show that its patent should not be covered under FRAND-like rules.
The Commission has until February to figure out which parts of mobile devices to declare essential.

Interesting facts about the India-Indonesia Relationships
Recently on 29th of May 2018 (Tuesday), we heard the news flashes that our honorable Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi boarded on his five-days three-nation visit to Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. To magnify the Act East Policy.
Mr. Modi stated: "This visit is focused on enhancing India's relations and engagements with all the three countries, which forms an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)".
ASEAN stands for the Association of South East Asian Nations and the Members of ASEAN countries are :
The main motto of Act East policy is the promotion of economic collaboration, cultural bondings, and development of a strategic association with the Asian-Pacific countries through persistent engagement at bilateral, regional and multilateral levels.
Thus, providing enhanced connectivity to the States of North Eastern Region including Arunachal Pradesh with other countries in our neighborhood.
North Eastern India has been a priority in Act East Policy (AEP).
AEP provides a crossing point between North East India including the state of Arunachal Pradesh and the ASEAN region.
Several plans at bilateral and regional levels include stable efforts to develop and strengthen connectivity of Northeast with the ASEAN region through trade, culture, people-to-people contacts and physical infrastructure (road, airport, telecommunication, power, etc.)
INDIA and INDONESIA THE RELATIONSHIP & FACTS
Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi made his first ever official visit to Indonesia, on Tuesday, 29th of May 2018 for three days.
Both countries (India-Indonesia) are close maritime neighbors.
India's Andaman Nicobar Islands share an oceanic border with Indonesia along the Andaman Sea.
Indonesia is the main trading partner of India in the ASEAN region with a bilateral trade of $17 billion in 2016-17. India is also a key supplier of military hardware for Indonesia.
India and Indonesia both are democratic countries while India is the world's largest and Indonesia is the world's third largest.
Both countries are fast-growing large economies beholding for worldwide investors.
India has an embassy in Jakarta and similarly, Indonesian embassy in New Delhi.
The president of Indonesia Mr.Joko Widodo and our prime minister Shri Narendra Modi both leaders met in Jakarta on Tuesday(Capital Of Indonesia)
Also, the two leaders have an almost similar political career.
*Shri Modi and Mr. Joko got elected in 2014.
*Both defeated powerful political dynasties Joko defeated (Suharto) and Modi (Nehru-Gandhi family).
*Also, both are from self-effacing backgrounds Mr.Widodo's father was a carpenter and Mr. Modi 's father was a tea seller.
The Indian-Indonesian relationship could be traced almost two millennia back.
In 1950, the first President of Indonesia, Sukarno, called upon the peoples of Indonesia and India to "strengthen the cordial relations" that had existed between the two nations more than 1000 years before they had been interrupted by colonial powers.
India and Indonesia both are the members of the Group of 20 countries, the Emerging 7 countries, the Non-aligned Movement, and the United Nations.
There are 1 lakh Indonesians of Indian origin and over 7,500 Indian citizens in Indonesia.
India will develop the Sabang port in the Aceh area, the closest Indonesian region to India, and a very short distance (90 nautical miles) from the Nicobar island.
ALSO READ: Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Sabang is an impoverished province but deliberately situated in a deep-water port close to the Malacca Straits through which a major part of India's eastbound trade passes.
Shri Modi will have an interaction with Chief Executive Officers and the Indian community in Indonesia.
The bonding of India and Indonesia could be traced to the times of Ramayana, Indians have visited Indonesia since that time.
It is believed that Sugriva, the chief of Rama's army directed his soldiers to Yawadvipa(JAVA), the island of Java, in search of Sita.
The ancient Indian traders spread Hinduism and many other Indian cultures plus Sanskrit and Brahmi scripts.
The Indian influence over Indonesia could be easily seen in many ways
The Indian Epics — the Ramayana and the Mahabharata — play an important role in Indonesian culture and history, and widely common amongst Indonesians.
In the theatres of the Prambanan in Java, Javanese Muslims perform the Ramayana dance during full moon nights.
An example of deep Hindu-Buddhist impact in Indonesian history is 9th century Borobudur and Prambanan temples.
Even after the adoption of Islam, the bonding between the two countries remained strong' not only because India has a significant population of Muslims.
But, Indonesian Islamic architecture, especially Sumatra, has its deep root with the Indian Mughal architecture, and it is clearly evident in the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Aceh and Medan's Grand Mosque.
The President of Indonesia Sukarno was the first chief guest at the annual Republic Day parade of India in 1950.
In the year 2011, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was the chief guest for the same event.
Indonesia is situated in Southeastern Asia, in between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
It is positioned in a strategic location on both sides of major sea tracks connecting East Asia, South Asia, and Oceania.
Idli, an Indian savory cake from South India. Steamed idli may have been an introduced from Indonesia.
Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world and the Istiqlal mosque is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and the third largest Sunni mosque in term of capacity.
The currency of Indonesia is Indonesian Rupiah
Most of the relations between India and Indonesia were pleasant-sounding and peaceful, except the 1965 war with India.
During 1965, Indonesia asked to provide military help for Pakistan, to seize the Andaman and Nicobar Islands' of India. So India gets distracted from the Kashmir front.
A maritime borderline treaty between the two countries issued in New Delhi on 14 January 1977.
The traditional bonds are still continued, with popular Indonesian Dangdut music presenting the impact of Hindustani music.
The people of Indonesia especially middle-class to lower-class are also very fond of tabla.
Bollywood films and music are also popular in Indonesia.
Hope this strong bonding will last forever.

RHYMER, M.S.; P. TUN, M.D.
Study Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of lovastatin under controlled conditions in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial.
Setting: Five lipid clinics with a central laboratory and coordinating center.
Patients: 101 adult patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Interventions: Patients were on a lipid-lowering diet throughout the study. After a 4-week placebo baseline period, patients were randomized to five equal treatment groups. Each group received a different sequence of placebo or lovastatin 5 to 40 mg twice daily or 20 to 40 mg once daily in the evening, during three consecutive 6-week periods.
Measurements and Main Results: The mean reductions in total plasma cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol across the dosage ranges were 14% to 34% and 17% to 39%, respectively (p compared with zero and placebo < 0.01). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoproteins Al and All rose slightly. Apolipoprotein B fell substantially at the higher dosage levels (-23% at 40 mg twice daily, p < 0.01), indicating a reduction in the concentration of circulating low-density lipoprotein particles. Maximum response was achieved in 4 to 6 weeks. Twice-daily dosing was slightly more efficient than once-daily dosing. Of those patients receiving 40 mg twice a day, 89% had a fall in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of at least 20%, and 61% had a fall of at least 40%. Adverse effects attributable to lovastatin were minimal, and no patient was withdrawn from the study.
Conclusion: Lovastatin was well tolerated and effective in the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia.

Analyzing Track and Field at the Olympics with data visualization
Today's data visualizations and infographics brought to you by Yellowfin; now making Business Intelligence even easier.
So apparently lightning does strike twice. Defending Olympic 100-meter sprint champ, and current world record holder Usain Bolt, overcame his doubters and injury speculation to take the London 2012 final in an Olympic Record (9.63 seconds) – the second fastest 100 in history.
However, unlike Beijing four years ago, Bolt saved the showboating for after the race, aware that every man involved in last night's blistering final had set sub 10-second times this year. It was the fastest final ever, with Bolt's training partner and reining world champion, Yohan Blake, claiming Silver in a sizzling 9.75 seconds, and America's Justin Gatlin grabbing Bronze in 9.79. To underscore the frenetic pace, American Tyson Gay finished fourth, in 9.80 – a time that would have seen him win Gold in every other Olympic 100-meter final aside from Beijing (2008) and London.
Bolt's victory makes him the second only man, after USA's Carl Lewis, to take back-to-back Gold medals in the Summer Games' premier track event.
But Bolt is just one legend of the Olympic track. So let's dive into some data to uncover other renowned Track and Filed performances at the modern Summer Games.
Dashboard: Uncovering and analyzing awesome athletic performances by individuals and nations at the Summer Games (1896 – 2008)
Like Swimming and Gymnastics, the sporting category 'Track and Field' (or 'Athletics') has featured at every Summer Games since the events' inception in 1896. Track and Field also comprises the largest number of events on the current Olympic program. Aside from the inclusion of women equivalent events, the Olympic Track and Field line-up has also remained relatively unchanged – certainly in comparison to other sporting disciplines. The Short Racewalk is the only event that has been added to the men's schedule since 1952, with the Long Racewalk the only omission since 1976.
Note: Again, the below dashboard is fully interactive. But we've only provided commentary on a minor selection of potential talking points. So start clicking, drilling and filtering to discover the greatest athletic accomplishments of Olympic Track and Field, and reveal which nations, events and individuals have dashed, leapt and thrown their way onto the dais and into Games immortality.
Track and Field: Medalists vs medal count by country at the Summer Games (1896 – 2008)
The USA has a long and decorated history in Track and Field at the Summer Olympics, and has sent athletes to represent it at every modern Games except the Soviet-hosted 1980 Games which it boycotted. For more on East – West rivalry at the Olympic Games, check out our blog Data visualization analyzes the East vs West rivalry at the Olympics.
America is the strongest performing nation in the event category 'Track and Field' at the modern Olympic Games. The USA has produced 630 medal-winning athletes (25% of all medalists in Track and Field over the course of the modern Games), winning a total of 755 medals in Track and Field (30% of all medals won in Track and Field at the Summer Olympics). In fact, the USA has won more overall Gold, and total medals, across all Olympic events than any other country throughout the history of the Summer Games.
Track and Field: Country by event medal count at the Summer Games (1896 – 2008)
Unsurprisingly, when assessing the strength of each nation over individual Track and Field events, the United States stands out as a dominant performer across most disciplines. Its strongest events include the 110-meter Men's Hurdles (54 medals), Men's Shot Put (47 medals) and Men's 200-meter (46 medals).
Curiously, The United Kingdom has medalled across many Track and Field events, but has never controlled individual events to the same degree as America. The UK has experience the most success across the Men's 1500-meter (14 medals), 4 X 400 Men's Relay (11 medals) and Men's 800-meter (10 medals).
Germany has also produced a succession of successful Olympic Track and Field teams, medalling in all but six events. Historically, its best events include Women's Javelin Throw (15 medals), Women's Shot Put (15 medals) and Men's Decathlon (11 medals). Interestingly, Germany's next best medal earning Track and Field events include the Women's Discus Throw (10 medals), Women's 100-meter (9 medals) and the 4 X 100 Women's Relay (9 medals). Is there a potential reason for the strong performance of Germany's female athletes? We might have a controversial answer; but you'll have to check out tomorrow's blog to discover what it is…
Top individual medal winners in Olympic Track and Field competition (1896 – 2008 Summer Games)
Paavo Nurmi – as mentioned in our Analyzing the greatest Olympians with data visualization data blog – won a record 12 Olympic medals, nine of them Gold, in his decorated running career. The Finish runner was a champion middle and long distance athlete during the 1920s, setting 22 world records in distances ranging from 1500 meters to 20 kilometers. Nurmi won five of his Gold medals in a single appearance at the 1924 Paris Olympics.
American Ray Ewry won 10 medals – all of which were Gold – in several remarkable Olympic appearances in the early 1900s. Ewry still holds the record the number of Gold medals won by a single Track and Field athlete. Additionally, his eight individual Gold medals (those not won as a member of a team event) make him second only to American swimming machine, Michael Phelps.
Another American, Carl Lewis, rounds out the top three. Lewis won nine Gold and one Silver medal across the 100-meter, 200-meter and Long Jump events. The International Olympic Committee voted Lewis the "Sportsman of the Century".
Track and Field: Medal count by country over time at the Summer Games (1896 – 2008)
Again, the historical supremacy of The UK and USA is made obvious when analyzing Track and Field success over time. The UK has won at least one medal at all Olympic Track and Field meets. The same goes for the US, with the exception of its 1980 boycott.
And, thanks in part to the "Flying Finns" Paavo Nurmi, Hannes Kolehmainen and Ville Ritola, Finland is the next most consistent nation at Summer Games Track and Field events, taking home medals in all but three Olympics.
Where to next?
Be prepared for some controversy when tomorrow's post reflects on doping at the Olympics. Yellowfin's series of Olympic data blogs will continue to appear daily until London's Closing Ceremony (12 August).

I was in and out of A Fib continually and combined with the diastolic dysfunction meant I didn't get enough oxygen, and that meant I was exhausted all the time for the past 4 months. Exhausted as in I had to stop three times while going up the stairs to catch my breath, having to rest for an hour after taking a shower, only able to walk incredibly s l o w l y, being dizzy all the time, passing out (in my recliner!!). I've always had great compassion for those suffering, but this has deepened my understanding of how frustrating it is to not be able to live anything close to a normal life. I've had two sleep studies now, and learned I had Central Sleep Apnea. With normal sleep apnea, your throat inelegantly collapses while you sleep and you use a CPap machine to deliver a steady flow of air to keep your throat open and you breathing. Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn't tell your body to breathe while you're sleeping..... dandy, eh? So now I use a bothersome machine called a Bipap which sends increasingly larger bursts of air into my lungs until I start breathing. Breath - necessary for life. I'm so happy I live during a time when we can learn all these new
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cardiac-ablation/my00706 It was a 7 hour procedure, an over night stay in ICU and then home. I thought I was doing much better, but my cardiologist told me he "was not happy" when I saw him last Thursday. Although I don't have AFib as severe, my heart beat is still irregular. We've scheduled a cardioversion http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cardioversion/MY00705 in a couple of weeks and then maybe Dr. DelC, or as the nurses call him, Dr. Freddie, will be happy. Maybe I'll be happier. I'd just like to be able to take walks with my dogs, Tillie, Oliver and B.D. (Beautiful Dog).
And get back to making quilts, going to quilt retreats, cooking, doing the laundry, running the vacuum.... I'll tell you, when you can't do even the routine things in life, they begin to look good!
Even in the midst of trials, there can be extraordinary events that bring the deepest job to your life. My very favorite part of this summer was this:
Being eternally optimistic, I hope the best for you and your family! I haven't forgotten about any one of you and at some point some of you will open your mailbox to a nice little package from me. Be patient. I'm going as fast as I can.
