Ratings and Reviews
Love it!!!
Wish there were more levels and more games like it!!!
Delivers, But Could Be More
This game gives you the Wiki Game, as promised. It's polished, it works great. Plenty of single-player fun. That's just it though, I know there's a multiplayer variant online. I think if multiplayer features were available this would get my five stars.
Developer Response ,
Appreciate the feedback. You mention the app "is polished and works great", and has "plenty of single-player fun" - and that's just what the app was made to be: for those who wanted a single player version of the online multiplayer game, so it's a bit disappointing/confusing you end up rating it relatively low. Thanks for the input though.
Fun Game, Please Fix
Just one quick note, on iPad the results screen is cut off and you can read the lower section that mentions something about the perfect path.
Fun little game though.
Developer Response ,
Hi, thanks very much for the feedback, and the issue you mention is now fixed! Hopefully with this fix we can earn that 5th star in your review :)

Union leaders have warned buses could be taken off Edinburgh's streets within weeks after a huge majority of Lothian staff who took part in a consultation backed strike action.
Here is everything you need to know on the Lothian Bus strike.
- What's causing it?
Tensions have been building since December when a driver was sacked and around 10 others suspended over posts on a closed Facebook group amid claims of bullying and harassment by management at the bus company.
Unite say Lothian Buses axed time off for them to carry out union duties in response to collective grievances being lodged about poor workplace relations.
Unite regional industrial officer, Lyn Turner, says they have a number of outstanding issues in relation to procedural agreements, including on bullying and harassment, adding: "Unite has repeatedly warned that unless this catalogue of issues were addressed there would be overwhelming support to move towards an industrial action ballot."

- What do Lothian Buses say?
Lothian Buses say they "absolutely refute" any claims of bullying and "hostility," and that the union has been unwilling to engage after negotiations between the two sides broke down last week at the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS).
In their statement, Lothian Buses added: "The branch chair and secretary are allocated four days per month to attend to their union duties - time which is paid for by Lothian and is way above what we are required to provide by law.
"We are at a loss to understand why the union hierarchy is intent on pursuing this damaging course of action that has the potential to impact on our customers."
- What do the unions say?
Unite the union says that Lothian Buses axed time off for them to carry out union duties and warned industrial action was now looming as well as potential employment tribunal action. The union said this was "trade union vicitmisation".
Lyn Turner, Unite regional industrial officer, said: ""The consultative ballot results have come out and we will take stock. We remain open to discussions but the hostility (of management) has put a marker down.The last thing we want to do is take industrial action, but if our arms are being tied by the company, then we will have no choice than to use all options available to us."

- How could services be affected?
Union bosses have warned that if industrial action does take place, it could result in buses being taken off the roads. No options have been rules in or out yet, but industrial action could include strike action, working to rule or cancelling all overtime.
- When could this happen?
It is thought that the formal ballot for industrial action will take place in May. If agreed, dates would be set for industrial action and what form it would take.

Hint* It's Not What You Think
Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. You typically imagine gentlemen to be the considerate fellas: opening doors, attentive to the ladies, nice to old people—you get the idea. But what makes a gentleman different from other guys? More than what meets the eye, our visceral attraction to gentlemen runs much deeper than a custom tailored suit or expert politeness, indeed.

The cotton brocade fabric used for the outerwear is mainly made of polyester cotton, nylon cotton, nylon polyester and cotton metal wire fabrics. The wire content is generally around 5%, and it has begun to enter the market in the past two years. It is a popular high value-added fabric on the market. It has the properties of static elimination, radiation resistance, sparkling luster, etc. It is widely used in scientific research, military high-tech and electronics, medical industry and so on.
The flame retardant used in the cotton brocade fabric used for the outerwear is a durable finishing flame retardant for cotton fibers and blended fabrics, and its main feature is the use of the flame retardant to produce finished fabrics in the fabric. The interior forms a permanent cross-linking, which makes it durable and flame-retardant, and can be washed more than 50 times. The flame retardant fabric can effectively prevent the flame from spreading and maintain the original properties of the fabric.
The satin wire polyester cotton cloth used for the cotton brocade fabric of the outerwear gathers the advantages of the three types of yarns of polyester, cotton and metal wire. The finished fabric is dyed with environmentally friendly dyes, while the fabric maintains comfort and stiffness. It also has a certain anti-radiation function. At the same time, the fabric has the luster of metal, noble and generous, comfortable to the touch and bright in color. It is the fashion choice of today's international brands.

Tudor on the wrists of the famous & as the official timekeeper of motorsports
The Tudor brand stands for performance and robustness. The timepiece is not surprisingly strapped around the wrists of several prominent individuals. The Tudor Heritage Chrono (Ref. 70330N), for example, was featured in "Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol" around the wrist of Tom Cruise.
From 2009 to 2012, Tudor collaborated with the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer Porsche. The cooperation embodies the strong connection that the Tudor brand shares with the bold world of motorsports. Since 2013, Tudor has been the official timekeeper of the World Enduring Championship (WEC), which is an extraordinary endurance racing series. The cooperation between Tudor and WEC highlights the similarities between mechanical timepiece and fast race cars.
A strong combination of technology and style has always been the ultimate focus of Tudor collections. The timepieces are truly a reflection of Tudor values, thanks to clean lines, sporty aesthetics, and precise mechanics.

CPE BACH Cello Concertos. Symphony (Queyras)
There can't be many ensembles around as stylistically fleet-footed as Hamburg's Ensemble Resonanz. I'm still thinking fondly back to their Haas, Bartók and Berg programme on the Elbphilharmonie's opening weekend; and now here they are playing historically informed CPE Bach with equal musical sensitivity and intellectual panache, joined by their artist-in-residence Riccardo Minasi (himself a period-performance chameleon) and their other regular collaborator, Jean-Guihen Queyras. While this may be their first disc on Harmonia Mundi with Minasi, they've already collaborated with him to record two sets of CPE Bach symphonies for Es Dur. So when you top off this well-oiled CPE Bach outfit with one of today's finest and most thoughtful period-performance cellists, it's no wonder the results are magnificently fine.
Toolkit points first, and while Ensemble Resonanz's strings do 'do' gut, for this recording they've gone for the more brilliant-toned metal option. Interestingly Queyras has too, and the detailed attention he's paid to colouring every note puts paid to any notion that you need gut strings to present the full gamut of such subtleties.
The tempos are briskly flowing but never feel hurried; just enough to allow the dynamic swells applied to the opening of the A minor Concerto (Wq170) to feel like smooth waves; also to allow Queyras's semiquavers in the same movement to come over as crisp flutters and his triplet quaver figures to melt seamlessly together.
As you might expect from Queyras, he's written his own cadenzas. He's also been true to form with their length, because his A minor first-movement one is a luxurious two minutes; which incidentally is the exact-same length of his Haydn C major Concerto first-movement cadenza with Freiburg Baroque (10/04). Plus, while it's period-idiomatic for the most part, right near its start there's an attention-grabbing rising arpeggio sequence up into his upper harmonics that sounds subtly but deliciously 21st-century.
Splitting up the A minor and A major (Wq172) concertos, the ensemble and Minasi have committed another of Bach's symphonies to disc, this time an effervescent reading of his Symphony in G, Wq173: a masterfully crafted work written a decade earlier than the concertos, and possibly his first attempt at the fledgling string symphony genre.
So there are plenty of reasons to enjoy this. In fact, while I loved the punch and panache of Nicolas Altstaedt's recent recording for Hyperion of all three of the concertos, the sheer multicoloured class on display here – and indeed its symphonic palette-cleanser – has nudged it ahead in my personal rankings.

The book was translated into Arabic by Professor of National Research Center of Algeria (CNRPAH) Zaim Khanishlavi.
Professor Zaim Khanishlavi attended the 5th Baku International Humanitarian Forum, during which he met with Academician Ramiz Mehdiyev and received permission for translation and publication of his book.
The translator's in-depth knowledge of the current problem will help the Arab readers get a clear understanding of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The book provides an insight into the historical background of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The book highlights the causes of the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions by the Armenian armed forces, as well as the current state of the negotiations mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group, and international organizations' position on the problem.

Futures Method Trading – The way to Pick A Program
In case you are new to system trading, just after reading my previous article ("Futures Program Trading – Reality Check") you may really feel a little uneasy regarding the complete organization. That's good since it is best to. There is a vast wild jungle available with swamps scattered all over rather generously. One false step and also you just said good-bye to a nice chunk of dough.
How then really should you select your program, you might ask. The short answer is: the identical way hedgehogs multiply, that is, cautiously… The lengthy answer is the fact that you have 3 options and every single of them is usually fantastic if made use of judiciously.
The first alternative and possibly the very best 1 would be to find a vendor who gives his method by means of a broker (using Tradestation or Technique Runner to generate orders) and charges you based on the actual profits his system makes within your account per month. That normally implies a 10-20 % cut of genuine profits for the vendor. Vendors like that happen to be few and far involving and in case you ever determine to choose a single like that you just need to ensure that you know how his program performed inside the previous within a genuine account and not on paper. The broker that handles vendor's enterprise or the vendor himself should be able as well as eager to provide this sort of details. If they can not, never bother as that is normally an indication that you're coping with some monkey company. When the system is new and there is only a limited amount of details about its actual past efficiency you might wish to wait a quarter or two to see how the system is undertaking. Rush is never ever a very good point in these matters.
Learn far more here on Hypster Login.
The second solution is to acquire a good technique from a reliable vendor. You need to purchase a system that may be totally disclosed and it really is quite advisable to select a system which has extremely small space for curve-fitting (no far more than 1 to 2 parameters that happen to be optimally adjusted inside the backtesting course of action) more than a method that has an abundance of area for this. The latter are often less robust than the former. In the event the system is just not completely disclosed (i.e., it comes as a gray or black box) you will never know if it was optimized and to what extent. This isn't good because it is rather quick to make a method having a stellar previous functionality by curve-fitting it towards the data. It can be incredibly naive to count on that the system created this way will continue its stellar performance. The opposite is additional probably, that's, the program, becoming not incredibly robust, may possibly unravel as quickly as you start out utilizing it. Now, tips on how to be sure that you might be coping with a trustworthy vendor? I would dismiss all hypsters as a rule. A superb method can speak for itself, no hype is needed. I would also keep away from vendors who're not quite forthcoming with info around the realistic technique functionality: for example, they usually do not account in their marketing for the slippage and commissions in a realistic way. This can have grave consequences as the preceding short article was meant to show you. Specifically insidious is usually 'non-fill' slippage occurring in systems that use limit orders. As opposed to common slippage brought on by the use of market place or stop orders, the kind of slippage in question is just not usually effortless to estimate and if not accounted for can bring about substantially inflated income. It can even turn an essentially losing method into a fantastic searching winning 1.
I think that the only sincere strategy to account for this type of slippage is by disregarding all the trades whose entry or exit costs weren't penetrated by at least one particular tick. A robust method will survive this kind of cleansing, a bogus one particular will not. I do this routinely with my systems, but alas, for the most effective of my knowledge, no one else does. In the event you are nonetheless questioning why, you could would like to re-read my prior post. One more problem is common slippage which really should be estimated realistically based around the certain market's liquidity. As an example, this sort of slippage is smaller for a market place as liquid because the S&P500 emini futures (ES) than for the Russell 2000 emini futures (ER2) that also enjoys some popularity among traders. Finally, you definitely usually do not desire to overpay for the method. I think that nowadays you should be able to get a good completely disclosed method for much less than $1000. However, most vendors still think that they can afford to charge a lot more. I would avoid them. If a vendor really believes that he has a good technique that may be worth a lot more, he can normally generate a steady income either by employing the very first selection mentioned above or by leasing it (alternative 3 to be discussed next). Finally, it's great to check if a vendor delivers a money back guarantee (no less than conditional) for his system. Most is not going to, so those who do should, in my opinion, be given priority more than the others. You can certainly agree that a vendor who offers some form of reasonable guarantee has far more faith in his program than a vendor who shuns any idea of such a guarantee.
The third selection should be to lease a method on a monthly or quarterly basis. This really is a very good choice, but quite often not as great because the earlier ones. Electing a method for trading in this way requires as much prudence if not much more as inside the other alternatives, the reason getting that when the year of employing the program comes to a close you may end up paying much far more for the technique than you would by buying it outright and still have nothing to show for (see the previous write-up for an example of a situation like that). This can be so, in part if not largely, mainly because the subscription fees are absolutely not commensurate with the system actual performance, so be careful not to overpay. As a rule, I would prevent any vendors who charge far more than $150 a month. The majority of them will hardly ever deliver profits to your account when all is said and done and so you wish to be frugal as much as possible. Beware though of the common trap: people tend to think that if something is expensive it must be very good. This really is absolutely not true! A vendor who charges $300 a month for his system may possibly not necessarily deliver greater income than the one particular who charges only $150. The past hypothetical performance cannot be employed as a justification for higher fees.

All systems are born equal every single quarter and the technique is only as good as its next quarter and not its previous 5 years. You also need to realize that unless a vendor backs up his claims of previous overall performance with a Tradestation overall performance report, it is best to not put much faith in what he claims. However, even with the Tradestation report available you nonetheless do not know when the method has not been curve-fitted and so you may end up paying a lot for something that could be performing much worse than the previous efficiency would indicate. It really should not come as a surprise that this choice is most frequently used by vendors. The reason is quite simple: they can keep milking you forever, no matter whether they deliver or not. Unlike within the first choice where the vendor's fee is tied to your account's actual performance or within the second option where you can get a technique for life for any one-time fee (and not only can you use it but even learn from it in the event the system is totally disclosed which is by far the most beneficial deal in this selection), within the last choice that you are hardly ever inside the winning position and so the only method to ensure that you do come ahead as a winner should be to ensure that your subscription fee is as low as possible.

Let's skip all the non-film stuff in this recap, shall we? From Brexit to Trump and various personal crises, cinema was the last saving grace that kept us from going under. And the podcast really helped with that.
With guests ranging from the legendary Laura Mulvey to actors Rhys Muldoon and Kate Hardie, writers and critics like Garth Franklin, Rebecca Harkins-Cross, Martyn Pedler and Alicia Malone, filmmakers such as Alice Lowe, Jocelyn Moorhouse, Kriv Stenders, Rohan Spong and Terence Davies, we definitely kept things interesting.
We talked the films of John Carpenter, Max Ophüls, the Coen Bros, Antonia Bird, Shirley Clarke, Jim Henson, Guillermo Del Toro, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Peter Weir, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Nicolas Roeg and David Lean, as well as new releases and all sorts of topical film subjects. All told, we're pretty happy with the twelve hours of audio we released this year.
As we take stock of the year in cinema, scroll down to see the best of, worst of and general wrap-up lists of as many of our Hi4H alum as we could find. Then below, Sophie and Lee look back at 2016 and ahead to 2017.

Top five Hi4H film discoveries (that you hadn't seen before)?
Sophie: Top of the list is Antonia Bird's Hamburg Cell, a film that I'd heard about but never been able to see (boo hiss HBO and danke schön German DVD!). It feels more urgent and courageous an achievement than ever. Shirley Clarke's The Cool World, her only fiction feature, was a nervy, clever joy, and again current and still streets ahead in its depiction of African American boys becoming men. Peter Weir's The Last Wave was totally new to me, and what a film: dark and risky, with that Weiry dreaminess and an unusual steeliness. And finally, two absolute classic costume/melodramas of female (almost) liberation that (hang my head) I'd never caught: Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Effi Briest, the least-yet-most Fassbindery of his films in epic, gorgeous black and white, all sighs and glances; and Max Ophüls' La signora di tutti, an addictively glamorous and mondaine prefiguration of his masterpiece Lola Montès.
Lee: As ever, I'll be sticking with the one-per-filmmaker rule just to mix it up/make life more difficult for myself. (Note: Even though I watched all of the Fassbinders in 2015, I'll count them for this year for reasons that I trust are self-evident.) Interestingly, we covered so many of my favourite filmmakers this year, directors whose work I was deeply familiar with – Hitchcock, Kubrick, Weir, Lean and the Coen Bros – that there were fewer discoveries than in previous years.
Nevertheless, the five first-time viewings that knocked me over the most were: Ravenous (1999, Antonia Bird), Portrait of Jason (1967, Shirley Clarke), Chinese Roulette (1976, Rainer Werner Fassbinder), Paths of Glory (1957, Stanley Kubrick), Don't Look Now (1973, Nicolas Roeg). These five are going to stick with me for a long, long time.
(I probably would have included a Max Ophuls in there, but I kept rubbish notes that month and I've completely forgotten which of his films I loved the most. I'm not the well-oiled machine I seem, listeners.)
Which new filmmakers to emerge in 2016 are you most excited about?
Sophie: Most smugly, I'm excited to see people catching up to Barry Jenkins. I saw Medicine for Melancholy, his first feature, at the London Film Festival in 2008, in an almost-empty cinema, and still have the jitters from its brilliant meditations on love, art, cities, race and space. Moonlight is a step up and expansion of his singular vision. #OscarsSoMoonlight
Less smugly, I came totally fresh to Kirsten Johnson; and Cameraperson, her fourth documentary as director (and approximately zillionth as cinematographer), blew off the top of my head. I've seen it three times, and still haven't got the measure of it. I'm excited she's working with Laura Poitras again (on a film about Julian Assange), but I want more films de Kirsten Johnson, soon.
Alice Diop's doc On Call may not have got as big an audience as fellow refugee doc Eva Orner's Chasing Asylum at London this year, but wow, has it stayed with me. Totally rigorous classical observational documentary, fierce with compassion and honesty. Deserves to be seen everywhere, and another talented member of the Diop filmmaking dynasty arrives.
Finally, two British first time feature filmmakers: full disclosure: I may know them or something. Regardless, I foresee big futures for Hope Dickson Leach (The Levelling) and Alice Lowe (Prevenge). They are unafraid to get messy, personal, difficult, dark, funny and bold. Having two such huge talents come along in one year (shout-out to Jane Gull for My Feral Heart and Esther May Campbell for Light Years as well): bloody hell. We're going to need the stories they have in store for us.
Lee: I saw basically nothing this year (compared to most years), and have been experiencing massive list envy as I glance at Sophie's answers. Even though I haven't yet seen Prevenge, Alice Lowe is an alum of the show, and I'll see anything she's even tangentially related to, so can I include her? Speaking of which, I don't believe the Lowe-starring Black Mountain Poets was the first film of director Jamie Adams, but it's the first one I saw and I'm on board for whatever he does next.
I loved Baden Baden, so definitely Rachel Lang. I Am Not a Serial Killer is the film that appears to have put director Billy O'Brien on the map, and it's a map I'll be following closely in the future. And I can totally see Kirsten Johnson pulling a Laughtonesque one-and-done after Cameraperson, but if she does direct another, she's already sold at least two tickets.
Keeping in mind our unofficial and sometimes-broken rule about our filmmakers-of-the-month having a minimum of five films to their names, which five filmmakers would you like to see us cover on the show?
Sophie: Chantal Akerman and Abbas Kiarostami both left us recently – and the incisive writing and conversations that marked their passing has made me want to look again and deeper at their expansive and elegant filmographies.
Ava DuVernay will hit the magic 5 with A Wrinkle in Time; if time could wrinkle the film out in 2017, she'd definitely be top of my Hyphenates list.
Oh, and Kelly Reichardt has just hit 6 with Certain Women, which will be in my 2017 top five, I can tell you that already. Time to talk trains, knitwear, Michelle Williams and working-class America, no?
Finally: Dorothy Arzner, Hollywood great. She got Maureen O' Hara and Lucille Ball to cat-fight (and make up) in leotards, enough said. Oh, and she addressed rape, abortion and feminism in earlier films. TCM recently ran a popular marathon of her films… let's go Dottie in 2017.
Lee: Since we began the show, my three white whales were Hitchcock, Kubrick and Scorsese, and in back-to-back episodes we knocked over two of them! So although we try our best never to influence our guests, I'll be sending thoughtwaves to them all with the following names: Martin Scorsese, Nora Ephron, Kenji Mizoguchi, Michelangelo Antonioni, Catherine Breillat.
What are your most anticipated films of 2017?
Sophie: Weird question, because festivals. Moonlight, Certain Women, Cameraperson, and The Levelling will all come out in the UK in 2017, and that is awesome: anticipation for re-watching them with new audiences is already high at Mayer Towers. Looking ahead to next year's fests, I'm already excited for Sydney Freeland's indie thriller Deidra and Laney Rob a Train, which has been announced for Sundance, as has Dee Rees' historical drama Mudbound. Amma Asante's WWII drama Where Hands Touch has a 2017 release date (fingers crossed). The news that there's a critical mass of new films written and directed by women of colour and of genius? I've been anticipating that for a decade and now it's here!
If there could also be Trolls 2 pls. Because I'm complicated and random.
Lee: I agree, it's a tough question because the best films often end up being the ones we don't know about. I am particularly excited about a certain film with "Logan" in the title. Yes, Soderbergh is returning to cinema with Lucky Logan, from first-time writer (according to imdb, anyway) Rebecca Blunt. I look forward to seeing what it was about this script that lured my favourite living director back to the big screen OR I look forward to being shown some quotes that prove the retirement quote was actually fiction. Either way, I'm getting more Soderbergh in 2017 and this pleases me.
For the third year running, I'd like to include Martin Scorsese's Silence. What I thought was going to be a 2015 film turned out to be a 2016 film that my home country is getting in 2017. Check in with us next year to see if it makes the cut again.
Even if the premise, the pedigree and the cast hadn't won me over completely, I'd still be hanging for Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled because it's Sofia Coppola. Also, any new work from filmmakers we've covered on the show save one. I'll let you guess.
Jordan Peele's Get Out. Edgar Wright's Baby Driver. Ben Wheatley's Free Fire. Ducan Jones's Mute. Shaun King's Paddington 2. Gary Ross's Ocean's Eight. Anything Sophie tells me about, because she never steers me wrong even when I totally fail to see the films she nudges me about.
I have film critics friends who argue both for and against the concept of the guilty pleasure, and I usually find myself agreeing with whoever made their case to me last. But if you've listened to the show you'll know I'm a hopeless sucker for the Marvel films, and the fact that they've upped their yearly output from two to three (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-man: Homecoming) is something I will vocally decry to maintain cred amongst my serious film friends as I secretly clap my hands in shameless glee.
And, of course, the Melbourne-made detective noir Trench, made by some upstart named Paul Anthony Nelson, but who's ever heard of him?
Thank you all for listening to our show throughout the year, and for giving us so much constructive and positive feedback. If you want to help spread the love even further, know that telling your friends about the show, sharing us on social media, and leaving positive reviews on iTunes is hugely appreciated.
Happy new year, all!

The emphasis on 'make in India' and 'digital India' has an obvious natural corollary: developing a digitally enabled space that creates ample job opportunities. A visible surge in demand for Android application in recent years seems to accomplish the objective in quite a significant way.
Android's utility
For appreciating the larger technological and economic implications of the Android application it is important to understand the utilitarian value of the technology for the app users.
Smart devices
Android app is a software application that runs on Android platform. It was initially developed for digital camera operations. But currently the Android is propelling demand for mobile devices such as smartphone or tablet personal computers, which operate on Android OS platform.
Game changer!
In an increasingly technology enabled market ecosystem, mobility and Android application are fast changing the contours of the game. Selling consumer durables, games, to its ever expanding range of services and products, Android based applications are fast becoming vehicles of enterprise growth driven by consumers' online mobility and satisfaction.
Growth story
The growth story of Android based application is intricately related to the development in telecom network infrastructure, especially the internet connectivity in India. The improvement in connectivity and affordable smartphone devices running on Android platform has resulted in a surge in demand for Android enabled smartphones besides tablet PCs.
2016 projections!
According to an estimate by 2015-end worldwide 2 billion smartphones will be sold. This will result in the number of smartphone users swelling up to about 2.16 billion in 2016. And, India is going to be the main author of the global growth in sales of smartphones. Android with its current market share of 82.8 per cent of smartphone operating system is expected to hold sway for some time to come.
Trained developers
All this entail an obvious rise in demand for trained Android application developers in India by the fast evolving industry. Already, the top players in the industry are in the lookout for professional Android System Engineer, Senior Android Programmer, Senior Mobile Engineer and Android developers. Skill gap: a worry
Skill gap: a worry
However, IT skill gap training in India has been one of the major impediments to employability. Just to put things in the right perspective it is worth quoting here the statement by one of the top opinion leaders: "About 90 per cent of employment opportunities require vocational skills, but 90 per cent of schools and colleges deliver only bookish knowledge."
Good news
The good news is Android's fast expanding presence in India and across the globe makes it a job-seekers' ticket to high salary lucrative jobs. A trained Android developer can expect to kick-start his or her career with a Rs 4-5 lac per anum pay package in India.
Job creation
An measure of the Android potential to generate jobs, in the European Union developers contribute about 40 per cent to the total worldwide revenue kitty through Android Application development. As per an estimate, app developer workforce in EU is set to increase from 1 million in 2013 to 2.8 million in 2018.
Need skilled workforce
Things in India look no less promising as Android-apps penetrate a wide array of sectors. Experts, however, underline the need for the developers to focus their time and energy on developing improved User Interface or User Experience. In other words need for professionals with high-end skills is being underlined by the industry, where quality workforce is in short supply.
Training centres
There are IT training centres in India such as IIHT which has already carved a niche for itself in IT skill gap training. It has presence in over 20 countries and 150 training centres spread across the globe. The organisation has been termed 'Global Pioneer in job-specific talent development'.
Job-ready curriculum
IIHT offers industry ready Engineering programme in Android app development to aspiring candidates. The curriculum covers relevant subjects related to Mobility, Java-script, CSS, Jquery, Jquery Mobile, Performance Engineering, Android basics and advanced besides Process and Quality.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has sent a letter to the White House requesting it preserve all documents relating to Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer last June, CNN first reported.
What they're requesting: emails, text messages, notes, voicemails, and any other documents about that June 9 meeting, as well as any communications about it since then.
Why this matters: This notice further confirms Mueller and his team are investigating Trump Jr.'s meeting, which was first suggested when he requested an interview from Ike Kaveladze, the 8th person who was revealed to have been in the meeting. And Axios previously learned that Trump's legal counsel advised him to avoid any discussions of the Russia probes with Jared Kushner, ultimately as a way to protect Trump since Kushner is so wrapped up in them. This all suggests the Russia probes are getting closer to Trump by way of those who are rather close to him, ultimately making it harder for him to avoid addressing.

Add users without adding IcePlates!
Individual quick-disconnect switchable drink hoses make sharing IcePlates a snap and provide cost savings for teams of 10 or more employees, when adding new employees, or where issuing everyone their own IcePlate is suboptimal. Long length allows users to cut to their desired length. Requires IcePlate with Female Quick-Disconnect
Customer Reviews
I had originally purchased the 27" hose with the IcePlate and discovered after delivery that the IcePlate didn't fit in my current pack (SOG Ninja). Ended up ordering a 5.11 Rush 24 after reading the reviews and decided to let the IcePlate sit at the bottom of the pack and needed a longer hose to use. I ended up trimming this, but it was easy to do and now I have the set up I wanted and it fits perfectly!
Great products, will be purchasing more gear from Qore Performance.
Easy to use, very tight seal

Tattoos are usually quite detailed and can take several hours to complete. They are the perfect solution for people who want to try or have their first tattoo. They are generally kept quite conservative and simple. The term body art is a very broad term. In fact, women feel that. Many people prefer small tattoos because they are easily hidden and look beautiful aesthetically. Even if you use a small tattoo, sunflowers will still look beautiful and attract everyone. The tattoo has an amazing girl with black shadows and includes a pink heart balloon. They are very popular for women, especially wild flowers.
The best thing about such tattoos is that they are more affordable compared to jewelry and there is no fear of bad luck. Tattoos are something that currently represents our social life, standards, other identities that you want to describe about yourself and most importantly, it represents a person's attitude. Tattooing at first should attract the attention of others, which is why people want a prominent design. You don't even need to walk naked to display your special ink design. A detailed floral design can look amazing if you choose a dress that shows off your back a fantastic thing! Small flower designs give the desired feminine quantity, and if you like, you can always have other designs that are joined to it.

She looked very much like the old silver-haired mother in Umberto Boccioni's paintings. A great aunt with few words to say, mostly sitting majestically against the light of her window overseeing a backyard smelling of basil and lemons.
Great Aunt Margaret — iz-Zija Gerit, as we knew her — never married. The woman was an arch-Catholic who out of the fear of God and Archbishop Gonzi would never contemplate voting for Mintoff. My father did not agree with Archbishop Gonzi, though he never failed to go to Church and knew his Catechism inside out. This kept a degree of détente between my father and his aunt, enough to keep her contented.
Her house looked like a sacristy. Dark paintings of saints with crucifixes of Jesus butchered on the Cross. As a young family, we would visit her frequently and while getting news of who died in the village, we would occasionally stop for a quick Pater Noster, Ave Maria and Gloria Patri, the recitation of which was led by Aunt Gerit herself. Cue the pious break were Żejtun's Church bells which, even after so many years, remain imprinted in my memory.
The woman could have been a character out of Downton Abbey, having worked in the service of the anglophile Maltese nobility. Her employer, Is-Sinjur, counted Dun Gorg Preca as one of his confidantes. Great Aunt would secure employment for her two nieces, my aunts, with Is-Sinjur. As wee girls, my aunts lived with their aunt having lost their father too soon. With five children and pregnant with her sixth, my grandmother lost her husband to kidney failure. With no welfare state to look after her, she called on her unmarried sister and brother to help. During the war my father and his siblings grew up with his extended family, which, like many other Maltese families in similar conditions, would chip in to keep things ticking.
Through Is-Sinjur (the earthly one, not the Almighty) and Aunt Gerit, one of my aunts met Dun Gorg Preca and was one of the first young women to join the Societas Doctrinae Christianae, better known as Tal-Mużew. Aunt Gerit did not join. Though a spinster, she remained the matriarch with whom her nieces would live until she left this earthly Calvary at a very old age.
As you could imagine, like her aunt, my aunt went through the Sixties probably perturbed by Mintoff and my father's support for him. But then again, just as she and her aunt adored the Nationalist doctor and MP, Dr Alexander Cachia Zammit, eventually this loyalty was passed on to the Labour MP and village doctor George Vella who gracefully and kindly returned his respect with equal equanimity.
Sandy and George, though from different parties, enjoyed unfailing loyalty from my devout Catholic Aunts—the reason being that they saw in their MPs a decency that went beyond favour or opportunism.
So why am I speaking of my aunts and their memory?
As I grow older, I tend to look back at long gone relatives as if they were characters in a novel which I lived and experienced as a young man. More so, I could now speak of an age where even when ideological conflicts were harsh and divisive, people stuck to their principles.
Like many, I could say that I was brought up to know why people were conservative or progressive. This gave me a notion of where people stood and why there were political parties that gave them leadership. I also feared but respected the likes of my Great Aunt who held principles but accepted a challenge or two from the younger generation that disagreed with her.
Many Maltese of my age have their own version of Aunt Gerit. I often think of her, especially when I hear latter-day charlatans telling us how the end of principles heralds some standardised era where politics is no more "ridden" with values, but where what seems to matter most is a managerial style of governance by which the people will be content albeit no less brainless.
In my own middle age, you might say that some of Aunt Gerit's character rubbed off me. As I seek to stand by principles (which she would probably denounce) I know that I would never start from them as fixed dogmas. I detest ideologues as much as I loathe relativists. But I do think that if Aunt Gerit were to hear some idiot planning to revive Georg Borg Olivier's Party through gratuitous nonsense, I don't think she'll be very pleased either.
As I recently found myself telling an old conservative acquaintance who probably was not as fond of talking to me when I was still a student singing Bandiera Rossa to taunt him: "Call me a nostalgic, but I do prefer to have two parties which are distinctly conservative and progressive, rather than two bland organizations which increasingly look alike and have nothing different to offer. At the very least I would then know where I stand with them".
I would like to think that for once, my acquaintance agreed with me. Most probably, upon hearing my complaint, even Aunt Gerit would have smiled and said a couple of Ave Mariae for me, as I'm sure she did for her nephew in the heydays of Archbishop Gonzi's quarrel with Dom Mintoff.

Author Notes:
20th Oct 2017, 12:28 PM
That's it for
! And here come the bad news: I'm going to stop drawing Unclaimed for a while.
The main issue is that it's become really time-consuming, and that I'm worrying too much about that. In the beginning I could easily make a page a week, but then I started complicating things, and now it takes me wayyyy too long to finish even single panels (that don't even come out looking like a masterpiece or anything). So then I keep worrying about the page not being done by the end of the week and stop enjoying the whole process, which makes everything worse. I tried to change the update schedule to "whenever I finish a page", but apparently I'm an crazy person who won't stop obsessing over imaginary deadlines, so that didn't help a lot; then I also took a break during summer holidays, but as soon as I got back I was stressing again. I think I need to get away from it for some time, clear my head, and come back with fresh ideas and a fresh attitude.
I feel kind of bad about this; I am very sorry to disappoint, especially after I said I would try my best to continue. But I really feel that it doesn't make any sense to keep doing this while I'm not enjoying it.
Thank you for your understanding, and also thank you very much for reading so far! You are what makes this all worthwhile <3

Rachel: Not a woman of many words! :-D
I can relate somewhat to your situation: As I get more practice in doing comics, it should go faster
in theory
, but at the same time I also heighten the standards regarding my own art (by being more aware of the weaknesses or by trying out more ambitious or elaborate things), and this cancels out the "being able to draw faster" thing in the end.
So if you feel that you have to take a break from Unclaimed for some time, then sure, do this. Whatever you feel is best for the comic, and - above all - what's best for
of course!
20th Oct 2017, 3:20 PM
You explained it perfectly. Instead of getting faster on the art front I'm just getting slower, which is good I suppose because the results are also better than at the beginning, but can also be very frustrating. It wouldn't be a big deal if I could just stop stressing about it and do my thing at my own pace, but alas, that's more difficult than it sounds. Even though it sounds quite easy. I don't know why I have this problem. I guess I'm just confused. xD
Thank you a lot for your kind words and your support, they really mean a lot to me! :D
20th Oct 2017, 11:31 PM
Ah that's too bad, I hope this comic comes back soon.
I totally understand what you guys are talking about though. I think my standards for my art are rising much faster than my skills are. So pages take longer and longer, yet I feel less satisfied with them. It's a struggle.
I'll read this comic when it comes back, or any other comic you might decide to do instead.
21st Oct 2017, 2:45 PM
Thank you, Pip! Really, the life of a webcomic creator is an endless struggle against our own minds xD. Sometimes all the doubts and worries are what makes us improve, but other times it feels like they're just blocking us and that everything would be much easier if we could not give a crap about, well, anything at all.
But no worries, the comic will probably continue as soon as I'm done running around in circles yelling HELP I'M TRAPPED INSIDE MY OWN BRAIN. xD

Review: Dholki
A man who produces dholki notes with his bare hands? This film has an interesting story marred by boring execution.
by Ravi Shet
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
Dholki, directed by Raju and Vishal Desai, is a comedy drama set in a village in Maharashtra. The film starts with a bhajan in a temple where villagers from different sections have come together. Lalya (Siddharth Jadhav) who has come with his mother (Jyoti Chandekar) is seen sleeping in the temple premises; however villagers rouse him. He prays to God and tells to forgive the villagers, since they have awakened him and God. Lalya is a lazy man, often referred to as 'Kumbhakaran' by the villagers; however he is also honest and straightforward. His mother tells the villagers that he has no job at hand, so she doesn't mind if he sleeps all the time.
Wealthy Patil (Sayaji Shinde) of the village tries to get Lalya a job in the school. The head master of the school tells Lalya to produce his education certificate so that he can give him a job. While searching for the certificate at his home, he accidentally finds a dholki that belonged to his late father. Initially, he is puzzled to see the dholki, however he enjoys playing it. On hearing the sound, his mother intervenes and makes him promise never to touch it again.
After this, Lalya becomes aware of a special power in his hands – when he hits a surface, one can hear a dholki play in lavani style. On his mother's advice, he starts practicing on the dholki for bhajans; however the moment his hands touch it, the dholki produces lavani notes. At this juncture, the good looking Lalibai (Manasi Naik) who owns a tamasha group is impressed by Lalya's talent and gets him to join their shows.
The first half of the film is paced well, but the second half falls flat. Redeeming factors are the music by Tubby Parikh and cinematography by Rahul Jadhav. Siddharth Jadhav does an excellent job and carries the film on his shoulders. Other than these, there is little to recommend in this film.

One Response to Review: Dholki
Good !!! from my point this movie sounds interesting as there is Siddharth Jadhav who acts very well and a versatile Sayyaji Shinde who is popular in marathi as well as South films.
Keep the good work on. Best Luck.

MedMal Study Objectives
There are two types of objectives for the Lab's Medical Malpractice ("MedMal") Project:
- First, to comparatively investigate the rule systems and evidence assessment patterns in medical malpractice cases in the United States and Italy;
- Second, to develop protocols for using the default-logic framework to investigate legal decisions in two different legal systems involving two different natural languages.
The first type of objective is substantive: to comparatively investigate the rule systems of the U.S. and Italy that govern medical malpractice cases, and to study how U.S. and Italian judges apply those rules in deciding particular cases. In order to do this, we identify medical fact patterns for which we can find decisions in both jurisdictions, and then select decisions that are representative and instructive on several levels. First, the fact patterns and decisions should represent the major areas of medical conduct that give rise to malpractice law suits. Second, the decisions should involve the major types of legal issues that arise in medical malpractice cases. Third, the decisions should be sufficiently complex on the evidence, in order to comparatively investigate evidence assessment, and not merely rule systems.
The second type of objective focuses on the process of comparative study itself. The default-logic framework is designed to be a neutral framework for analyzing the reasoning within legal decisions – "neutral" in the sense of being independent of any particular legal system, and in the sense of being independent of any particular natural language. Our working hypothesis is that once we develop rule trees for a particular type of case in two legal systems (whether we view the rule trees as logic diagrams or as text trees), we will be able to compare the branches of those trees more effectively, and to identify similarities and dissimilarities more precisely.
In addition, within the default-logic framework evidence assessment is merely an extension of the rule tree to the evidence in the record in a particular case. That is, evidence assessment connects the evidence in the record to the rule tree through making findings of fact on the relevant legal issues. Because evidence assessment itself has a logical structure, patterns of evidence assessment can emerge within a given jurisdiction, and we can study those patterns comparatively between jurisdictions.

All too often, the idea of innovation in contemporary cinema is relegated to the sidelines, viewed as ultimately avant-garde or unsure of itself - the manner in which transmedia filmmaking is still viewed as experimental is a case in point. The same can't be said for Ned Benson's debut opus, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which opens this month in a whopping three-film iteration. The film tracks the troubles faced by a married couple (James McAvoy and Jessica Chastian, both in standout performances) in the wake of a domestic tragedy - the recent death of their young child.
Not content to simply tell the story from one perspective, Benson instead initially set about making two films to tell the story: Him, which presents things from McAvoy's perspective, and Her, which is focused on how Chastain's character processes the situation. After being acquired by The Weinstein Company, Benson worked to create a third film, Them, which synthesizes material from both films into a film with a more omniscient point of view. I had the pleasure of speaking with Benson recently about his unusual and exciting new project.
Tribeca Film: How did this three-film construct come about?
Ned Benson: I wrote the first part of the story, which was Him, and then I brought it to Jessica Chastain, who started asking questions about Eleanor's character. That opened up the idea of showing two different perspectives on the central relationship, and I thought, what's the best way to show those different perspectives, and so I had the idea to do two films, one from each character's perspective. That's the movie we set out to make. It got made after a long struggle. The third film came about because after The Weinstein Company picked up the film we thought about the idea of an omnipotent perspective on the film, the idea of giving the audience the chance to see the entire project. So you could have the two-film character studies, or the third film, which shows an omnipotent perspective about the stories of two people.
I wanted to make sure that I was creating nuances in terms of how people experience and remember moments differently.
Tribeca Film: Is there an ideal way to watch the films?
Ned Benson: It's really up to the audience. I don't think there's a right or wrong way to do it. If you're going to watch all three films, I think it's best to start with Them and then move to Her and Him, because Her and Him open the world up, they have subplots that aren't seen in Them. But it's really just about the audience creating their own experience with it.
Tribeca Film: So you started by writing Him, and then after you spoke with Jessica you developed Her. How did the writing of the two different scripts inform each other?
Ned Benson: I wrote Him, and essentially the character of Eleanor Rigby was a ghost character, she disappeared from his life. There were questions about what happened to her, and those spaces became scenes in the other script. Then there were scenes that overlapped, scenes where they met that were in both films, but I had to write them in a subtly different way to show the difference of perspective. I wanted to make sure that I was creating nuances in terms of how people experience and remember moments differently.
Tribeca Film: That's really interesting. Subjectivity is so specific and differs so much. What was it like to do that work?
Ned Benson: It was really interesting. The point I wanted to make was, you know, you and I are having this conversation right now, and we're going to get off the phone, and we're each going to have different experiences of what this conversation was. I wanted to do the same things in the films. Maybe they both said "I love you" in a scene, but each of them remembered it differently, they took different things from that moment. I wanted to also accentuate the differences with different color palettes and camera work. I didn't want to be vastly different because that didn't seem real, but I think there are subtle differences in how we all experience the same moments.
Tribeca Film: There are also a number of flashbacks employed throughout the film. How do you approach using flashbacks? They're worked into the narrative really organically.
Ned Benson: I wanted to be as subtle as possible. I wanted to avoid that heavy-handed quality that tells you something is a flashback. I wanted to feel like we were slipping into a moment that we weren't sure if it was the present or the past. There can be subtle visual cues, like a haircut or how the characters are dressed. I think that's more interesting than defining things too heavily. I'd rather give the audience clues to make assumptions or inferences.
Maybe they both said "I love you" in a scene, but each of them remembered it differently, they took different things from that moment.
Tribeca Film: Christopher Blauvelt is a really talented DP, and you mentioned that you employed different looks for the different films. How did that process happen?
Ned Benson: Chris was phenomenal. We only started working together a few weeks before we started shooting, which was crazy. I had shotlisted the film before he came on, and after he did we sat down and went through it together, we found something between the two of us that we were happy with, we looked through some visual ideas for what we wanted. I wanted Him to have a cooler look, a more fluid look, because he's more detached from his emotions, and he feels like he has to keep moving, otherwise he's going to feel something. For Her, I created a warmer space that was looser, more emotional, which echoed her emotional situation. We shot more handheld for her scenes. When there was a crossover between the two of them we were able to introduce new elements into each of their films - like when she walks into his film, for example, we loosened the camera, used some handheld camera. We stuck pretty steadfastly to these ideas. When I put together Them, I used the separate color palettes to create disparate emotional spaces for the two of them. I wanted to feel like they were in separate emotional spaces in the same film, but then we used color timing to make the spaces feel more neutral as the film goes on, to convey that they're finding a common language again.
Tribeca Film: How did the casting of the film come together?
Ned Benson: We had Jessica involved from the beginning - Jessica, my producer and Jessica's friend Jess Weixler, who plays her sister. We spent years trying to put this together, to no avail. Even as Jessica's career took off it didn't bring financing in, because I was a first-timer trying to do something different, and that was terrifying to people, which I understand. We had had an actor to play Conor, but he had to drop out. I had gone to James McAvoy with it earlier, but he had just had a son and couldn't deal with the subject matter. So about two months before we had to start shooting, because this other actor had a scheduling conflict, we went back to James and he said yes. That locked our financing in. Jessica was about to commit to another film that was in our shooting window, and I had to rush and explain to her agents that this was really happening, the financing was finally really in place.
When I put together Them, I used the separate color palettes to create disparate emotional spaces for the two of them.
Tribeca Film: You know, the vast majority of what one hears in indie film is about how dire the situation is for ambitious dramas made for real budgets. Can you speak to the business realities of the environment, from your perspective, as you've done something quite different with this project?
Ned Benson: We were trying to do something different, but I don't think we were consciously trying to be radical. We thought it was different and we hoped it was different enough to make it interesting. Of course, most people were terrified of it. From writing, it took eight years to get to the first day of production. Making movies in general is hard, so this is a bit of a miracle. I think it was delusion and stubbornness that got the movie made, and the fact that I had two partners - a producer and an actress - who really stuck with the project because they believed in what we were trying to do. It's exciting that we've had The Weinstein Company get behind us and be into distributing all three films. It was really difficult to put it together, however, and there was so much luck involved. I think that's what filmmaking is these days - a combination of stubbornness, delusion and luck. I hope the fact that it was picked up helps filmmakers like myself who are trying to do stuff that's a bit more experimental.
