Episode 9
When Lakshya had finished narrating his sob story , Swara had a few thoughts but chose not to voice them at the moment . She thought to herself , how can a family be so strict , stupid, messed up yet funny at the same time . Yes, she found this story a little funny . Why you ask ? Because Lakshya Maheshwari is an idiot . That's what she thought atleast . Little did she know that Ragini had similar yet extremely contrasting thoughts . One would wonder, how could their thoughts be similar , yet so different . Oh well, that's just how swaragini are .Swara felt that taklu uncle was being unreasonable.
Flashback ( with Swara's running commentary)
5 years back
Sanskaar was a senior in college and being the agyaakari son and nephew , he was everyone's favourite . But, to be honest the one who was pampered the most was Lakshya . He was very shy and aloof when in public . ( Wait , what ? Lucky ? Shy ? LOL!!) But with his family….oh god , that boy wouldn't stop talking. ( Now that's the Lucky I know !!)Sanskaar loved his brother to bits and pieces and was worried that he would be ragged in college .( Huh! That idiot rags people , who will have the guts to rag him ? ) So, he was his protective barrier . One day, when he wasn't around , a few seniors were ragging Lakshya . Everyone laughed and called Lakshya a wimp, but one girl stood up for him and protected him . She told those boys that she was their senior and gave them a very nice lecture . Her best friends had to hold her back from throwing in a few kicks and dragged her away .( Wait , sounds familiar ………) Lakshya didn't even get a chance to thank her . But he told his brother about the incident and Sanskaar was grateful to this girl . She protected his brother and stood up for him . He felt different just hearing about her . It was the first time he had thought that way about a girl . He decided to find this mystery saviour . (Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask Lucky to identify her ? Well, whatever floats your boat I guess …..)According to what she said , she must be from his batch . So, he decided to find her . He had observed every girl in his batch and only one girl fit the description of a bold yet nice and caring person -'Kavita'. ( Wait , so he kinda like stalked girls now ? Isn't he supposed to be a gentleman … That's not creepy at all… hehe ….sooo creepy … hehe) He thanked Kavita , who seemed pretty clueless of what he was saying but she liked that she had finally grabbed his attention . Let's just get to the point , Kavita was a gold digger . She had been trying to grab Sanskaar's attention by pretending to be nice . She had been obsessed with him since the first year of college and now she was glad to finally have his attention . So, she continued the facade and gradually Sanskaar fell for her . Lakshya who had overheard Kavita badmouthing Sanskaar and telling her best friend Kavya about her plan of getting married to him immediately after college and then snatch his property. ( Huh ! Sounds like some tv show or movie … wait should I pitch this idea to some producer ?
I can make money …. No ! Swara !! Focus !!) Lakshya immediately went to his daddy and told him that Sanskaar was in a relationship with this gold digger chick . ( Such a snitch . Shouldn't he have just spoken to his darling Bhai ? Idiot !!) Durgaprasad , in an attempt to protect his darling beta like nephew , kicked him out of the house . ( What ????? How is that going to solve anything ?? He would end up being all sad and gloomy . I mean atleast tell him something !! This would make a horrible movie . These people are just stupid !! I mean just talk to the guy !! He is a teachers pet and also his bade papa's pet !! He's gonna be like your wish is my command and break up with her !! Oh my god !! This family is filled with morons !! ) When Sanskaar questioned his badepapa , Durgaprasad said that he was against his relationship and blamed Lakshya the snitch . ( I would like to have two minute silence for the death of a beautiful relationship between brothers . Now he's gonna hate his brother , cause he thinks his brother is an unreasonable jerk – which he by the way …….. and back to the point ) So, Sanskaar shred few tears and threw in few movie dialogues and all that jazz . He went to Kavita and told her that the only person who remained in his life was her . She freaked out that all her effort was in vain and Sanskaar was now gareeb , so she faked an accident and left for U.S and moved in with her dumb yet rich ex boyfriend . Now , Sanskaar thought that because his bade papa and Lakshya did not like Kavita , they caused the accident . He had decided to seek vengeance for his love .( Love my a*s !! Oops !! Sorry ….) On the other hand , Ramprasad and Sujatha who were on a trip -their second honeymoon of sorts ( blush blush , so cute) returned and were informed about the situation . Durgaprasad thought that when Sanskaar would be kicked out , Kavita would tell him that she was a gold digger and he would come back home and they would all live happily ever after . But, they were all notified of his death . While everyone mourned, Durgaprasad grieved in a different way . He blamed Lakshya for everything. He said that it was because he was shy and introverted that all this happened . Had he not been too scared to stand up for himself , Sanskaar would have never fallen for Kavita . He also blamed him for not telling Sanskaar the truth . ( That's it …. I'm done , a well deserved sarcastic slow clap for taklu uncle please) Lakshya who was deeply hurt by these words , blamed himself too and decided to change into Lucky to avoid such things in future . Ramprasad felt that it was actually because Sanskaar was kicked out without any proper reasoning that this happened , but did not speak up as he respected and loved his brother . (Oh, uncle ……you are too sweet and smart for your own good ….exactly opposite of that taklu uncle who sold his brain in the same place his son sold) Lakshya would often act out just to gain his father's attention as Durgaprasad would ignore him. ( Aww… that's actually kind off sad ….but a little pathetic too…. but mostly sad )That was one of the reasons he had broken off his engagement with Ragini .So that he could grab his father's attention and his father would speak to him properly atleast once .
(How dare he use my sister as a tool to grab his dad's attention.!! I'm gonna kill him !! Definitely !!) But the main reason that he broke off the engagement was that he felt he did not deserve Ragini . He actually did not have a proper reason to break the engagement off , so he said that he wanted someone modern . But the truth is , he was in awe of the amazing , kindhearted and innocent person she was . She was fun loving when she was with her close friends and family . Exactly like how he was five years ago . He thought that he was a murderer because of what happened with Sanskaar and did not want Ragini to settle for him. He believed that she deserved the best . But, when Sanskaar came back, there was hope for him , which made him selfish and he wanted to be the man who had the right to call that beautiful woman his . He couldn't stand it if she showered someone else with her attention, even if it was his own brother . ( Awwwwwww …. Lakshyaaaaaa …. that's so cute …. Ragu and you would look cute together and you cared so much for my baby sister ….. but wait , that doesn't change the fact that you hurt her …. but awww …. but I think you should become a poet or a writer cause that was so sweet and touching …… oh my god .. should I write this as a novel …. wait no Swara focus ….. now mission "Lakshya ko pehle sabak sikhao for breaking my Ragu's heart and then un dono ko Milao " starts!! Wait that's too long a name … I'll abbreviate it later …. but I need a partner in crime tooo … I can't ask Twinkle or Kunj jeeju cause they are busy in their own thing … and I can't ask ragu …. wait ….! Stop rambling Swara !! And why are we still in flashback !! Woh toh kabka ho Chuka !!!!)
Flashback ends ( but Swara's chabbad chabbad will never end )
Now let's take a break from Swara and go see Ragu .
Ragini was sitting like a lost soul in the park . She was happy that her intuition was right and her love was not wrong, but sad that Sanskaar didn't know a big chunk of the truth , but -'used by the fact that the family was filled with morons , but angry that taklu uncle was a jerk face , but even more angry that her heart was fluttering when she heard about Lakshya . So,basically she was an emotional mess .Thank God she left as soon as she heard that Sanskaar's death was the reason , Lakshya became Lucky….or she would have been even more confused …..She had made one thing clear after listening to all that , that she was going to reunite the brothers. She felt bad for them as their relationship was ruined over something like this. She had tried to put herself and Swara in their shoes and wonder how she would feel if they were separated . The next moment she burst out laughing . Maybe it was telepathy , but she had the same thought that her sister would have had – We aren't that stupid and moronic . And besides Twinkle would never let that happen . So , she had decide to launch mission -" Pehle Sanskaar ko sach Batao, Lakshya aur Sanskaar ka Bharath Milap karvao, Sanskaar ki madad se Kunj jeeju ko jealous Karke Unse confess karvao " – wowwww this mission has a bigger name than that of Swara's …. these two really need to come up with better names for their solo missions. Ragini didn't really know what order to follow for her mission, but she knew that the first step was telling Sanskaar the truth . So, she headed towards Maheshwari mansion determined to tell Sanskaar the truth .
Hiii guys !! I don't know if you guys found the whole flashback+commentary thing weird … do let me know !! And also I'm sorry for not having twinj in this epi !! Thank you for all the love that you guys have shown to my fanfiction !! Loads of Love to you dears !! ?

Topic Page: Auroras
AN AURORA IS a colored display of light usually seen at night. They are natural, and occur more commonly in the polar regions than in temperate southern regions in the Northern Hemisphere or more temperate northern regions in the Southern Hemisphere. Auroras occur most frequently in the Northern Hemisphere around the time of the autumn equinox in September and October and at the spring equinox in March and April. Auroras are sometimes called polar auroras (aurorae polaris), or in the Northern Hemisphere, aurora borealis. A popular name in the Northern Hemisphere is the northern lights; in the Southern Hemisphere they are the southern lights or the aurora australis (Latin for southern is australis).
The aurora borealis begins with a magnetic storm on the sun. If the sun emits an extra mass of particles in a solar wind to the Earth, this can then produce a magnetic storm on earth. If the conditions are right, the aurora borealis can be seen not only at the poles, but far to the south in the Northern Hemisphere or far to the north in the Southern Hemisphere.
The light displays of auroras are caused by charged ion particles reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth in solar wind. If the particles arrive as a cloud, they are called solar plasma. If the particles collide with one another when they are in an excited atomic state, light is emitted. This means that there may be more electrons surrounding an atom than normal. The excess energy can be emitted from the particle as visible light. Usually, the light is in wavelengths of 22 in. (557.7 mm.), which is in the visible light range of green. Some maybe at lower or higher wavelengths and, thus, seen as red or other colors. The particles follow the Earth's magnetic field and may appear to glow as wavering sheets or curtains. Other forms of aurora activity occur as arcs of light, which can also be in folds that appear to have striations. Contributing to the shape of the aurora borealisare the rotation of the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. As the solar stream hits the Earth, it meets the Earths rotation. The two combine to make a spiral shape.
Contributing to the frequency of the aurora is the sun's 11-year cycle. Sunspots and the emission of solar particles occur in a cycle that rises and falls in activity. Auroras are associated with a high number of sunspots. This relationship has been known since 1852, when Edward Sabine first identified it using sunspot and aurora spotting data that went back 100 years. This relationship seems to also correlate with climate patterns.
There is speculation that fluctuations in climate are closely related to the presence of aurora activity in Earths atmosphere. The Maunder minimum is the term that was first used to identify the period 1645-1715. This was a time in which aurora activity was rarely seen, and sunspots were not observed with any frequency. In 1976, it was demonstrated that the Maunder minimum was associated with abnormal amounts of C14 in tree rings. When the Edda Period, a period of high sunspot activity in the 12th and 13th centuries was examined, numerous references to aurora activity were also found.
Some researchers have theorized that global warming may be associated with sunspot activity, or global cooling with its absence. Research is being conducted into the possibility that global warming is caused by solar emissions, rather than by the increasing presence of higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to pollution emissions since the Industrial Revolution.

I did not say anything last Sunday about the Oscars. In case you missed it, Hollywood celebrated their annual self-congratulatory love fest last Sunday. I mean their arms grow ten inches patting themselves on the back. I can't even remember the last Oscar telecast I watched, it has been that long.
And it is not because I don't like movies. I love movies – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The problem is just that the Oscar telecast is just so gosh-darn boring.
I used to like the Oscars. Bob Hope wasn't a bad host. The last few years he hosted he started getting stale.
Johnny Carson was the best. Classy. Self-deprecating. And just plain funny.
Following are my suggestions for improving the Oscar show.
I think the Oscars show should cut out all music and song numbers, including for Best Song. They are superfluous.
I want to know who won Best Movie, Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor and Actress.
I want to see Hollywood glamour on parade.
I want to see and hear actors and actresses unscripted. The year Sally Fields won her second Oscar was beautiful. I caught a glimpse of her psyche and learned she was essentially like me. She wanted to be liked. That was real.
I also like to see how movies are made, and to see the nominated actors on the set with directors. I want to see some of the preparation and planning that goes into making a great movie. And work in Oscars for the other categories this way.
Now for some of my favorite movies. Not necessarily the best movies. Just some I like.
Dr. Zhivago is my favorite movie. I never tire of watching it. It is a good interpretation of my one of my favorite novels. It is a love story set against the background of the Russian Revolution. The cinematography is fantastic. Director David Lean took Boris Pasternak's novel that reads like poetry and made a poetic movie.
Next is the Russian 8 hour version of War and Peace. No other movie of this novel does it justice. They are simply too short. And Hollywood always takes the over weight and dumpy Pierre and casts some one thin and handsome. Pleeeeeeaaassse!!!
I also like A Fish Called Wanda. This tale of thieves trying to do each other in to take all of the bank heist diamonds is just too funny. And Kevin Kline's Oscar win for the character of Otto was well deserved. This movie always makes me laugh even now when I know what the next line or plot twist will be.
I also like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It is a very well made movie. It is one of the few movies that "got" me. What I mean by that is I did not see the plot twist and figure out what was coming. It is just so well written, directed, acted, and edited I just did not see it coming. I normally can spot the set up and then the twist early on in a movie, TV show, or play. This movie totally surprised me. For that reason alone it would be in my top ten. But this movie is great all the way round.
I also really like the (sadly) little known and quirky Don Juan De Marco. It is notable for being one of the last movies Marlon Brando made. He was so over weight by then that he was largely filmed sitting down. In this movie he shows why he was one of Hollywood's greats. The movie also stars the quirky Johnny Depp, who holds his own in scenes with Brando very well. Depp plays a psychiatric patient and Brando the psychiatrist. But in the end it is the Depp character that helps everyone see how to enjoy life.
I also like Some Like It Hot, The Godfather (all parts taken together, but Part 1 is the best; the scenes in part 2 of Little Italy are worth the price of admission alone,) Rear Window, Amistad, Schidler's List, and The Pelican Brief.
I also like Henry V, both Laurence Olivier's and Kenneth Branagh's versions. One was for the WW II generation; the other for the Vietnam and Falkland's generation. Both brilliantly acted and photographed.
As for musicals I like West Side Story, Singing in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, Cabaret, and Chicago.
I also like these children's movies: Babe, Fly Away Home, and The Bear.
I have left a lot of my favorite movies off the list. If I had included all of them this post would be 10,000 pages long. And we can't have that! Can we?
Besides, I am more interested in what movies you like. What are some of your favorite movies and why?
Featured Recipe Garlic Roasted New Potatoes
I have two versions of this recipe. One from an unknown cookbook; and one from one of the newspapers in Dayton, Ohio. I don't know which newspaper. Complicating matters, the two Dayton newspapers merged years ago. One of the recipes was by Ann Heller, a food editor for one of the papers at one time. I don't even know if she still has that role.
In any event, I use a little of both recipes when I make this dish.
Something Different Today
I thought you might like to see an entire meal and not just a side dish for once.
So, rather than just show you another potato side dish, today I am going to show you a complete meal with Garlic Roasted Potatoes as one of the side dishes. Today I am serving Oregano Pork Chops, Roasted Brussels's Sprouts, and the featured Garlic Roasted New Potatoes, with a Salad.
You have to love garlic for this recipe. It uses two whole bulbs. Not cloves. Bulbs. The bulb is made up of many cloves in it.
This is what you will need for 3 people:
6-8 medium new or red potatoes
2 garlic bulbs
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Pictured below is everything I will need to make the entire meal, not just the Garlic Roasted New Potatoes.
Here is what you do:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Wash the potatoes and then cut into quarters.
Arrange potatoes skin side down in a baking dish that will just hold them.
Sprinkle with the olive oil. (About 3 tablespoons) Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Separate the garlic bulbs into the individual cloves.
Do not peel the garlic.
Scatter the cloves of garlic over the top.
All of the cloves from two garlic bulbs on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle a bit more olive oil over it all.
Roast in the oven for about 50-60 minutes.
Then serve with a meal.
Quickie Directions For Making Rest of the Meal
I made pork chops with salt, pepper, and a dash of oregano fried in a wee bit of vegetable oil. Besides the potatoes I made Roasted Brussels's Sprouts. All I did was wash, trim and cut the sprouts in half. I added some olive oil and salt and pepper and roasted them on the oven with the potatoes for the last 10 minutes. I also served a salad of just lettuce and tomato pieces.
The Big Question
When I make this dish for company the big question is always how do I eat this?
You have to use your fingers.
Peel the garlic.
Smash it with your fork.
Then get a piece of potato and the smashed garlic and eat.
Bon Appetit!!!
6-8 medium red potatoes $1.30
2 garlic bulbs $0.98
Olive oil $0.72
Salt and pepper to taste
Total Cost = $3.00
Cost per person = $1.00
The cost of this entire meal was $12.23; the per person cost is $4.07.
Quote of the Day

German submarine U-470 was a Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine built for service in the Second World War. She was a very short-lived vessel, being commissioned in the months following the turning point of the Atlantic campaign and thus into a time in which many U-boats were being lost. The demise of U-470 was especially notable as she was sunk with two of her sisters in a brief melée in the waters of the Western Approaches.
German Type VIIC submarines were preceded by the shorter Type VIIB submarines. U-470 had a displacement of 769 tonnes (757 long tons) when at the surface and 871 tonnes (857 long tons) while submerged.[2] She had a total length of 67.10 m (220 ft 2 in), a pressure hull length of 50.50 m (165 ft 8 in), a beam of 6.20 m (20 ft 4 in), a height of 9.60 m (31 ft 6 in), and a draught of 4.74 m (15 ft 7 in). The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft F46 four-stroke, six-cylinder supercharged diesel engines producing a total of 2,800 to 3,200 metric horsepower (2,060 to 2,350 kW; 2,760 to 3,160 shp) for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert GU 343/38–8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of 750 metric horsepower (550 kW; 740 shp) for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two 1.23 m (4 ft) propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to 230 metres (750 ft).[2]
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of 17.7 knots (32.8 km/h; 20.4 mph) and a maximum submerged speed of 7.6 knots (14.1 km/h; 8.7 mph).[2] When submerged, the boat could operate for 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph); when surfaced, she could travel 8,500 nautical miles (15,700 km; 9,800 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). U-470 was fitted with five 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedo tubes (four fitted at the bow and one at the stern), fourteen torpedoes, one 8.8 cm (3.46 in) SK C/35 naval gun, 220 rounds, and one twin 2 cm (0.79 in) C/30 anti-aircraft gun. The boat had a complement of between forty-four and sixty.[2]
Service history[edit]
Built by the Deutsche Werke shipyards in Kiel, U-470 took a long time to complete, not being ready for initial working-up operations until a year after her construction began. She was given to Oberleutnant zur See Günther-Paul Grave, a highly experienced submarine officer, who led her through her training and mechanical trials and readied the boat for her active career, a difficult six month process.[3]
War Patrol[edit]
U-470's only war patrol was an unlucky affair.[4] After a difficult passage round the British Isles, U-470 received orders to join U-844 and U-964 to form a wolfpack to attack Convoy ON 206 in the Western Approaches to the English Channel. On 16 October, just 18 days after leaving Bergen in Norway, a patrolling aircraft spotted U-470 with her sister boats whilst still a long distance from their targets. The aircraft radioed back to base, and soon a whole swarm of British Royal Air Force B-24 Liberator bombers from 59 and 120 Squadrons had descended on the trio, who decided to battle it out on the surface rather than dive, which would have made them easy targets for depth charges.
Over the course of the next several hours, the Liberators attacked the U-boats again and again, losing two of their number to anti-aircraft fire, one with all aboard and the other with two fatalities amongst the crew. The submarines, however, were suffering much worse, and gradually all three were sunk, U-470 going down with 46 hands including the captain, only two being picked-up later off rafts by allied ships. The aircraft had reported 15 survivors in the water, but many of them did not find buoyancy supports and drowned over the next few hours.
U-470 took part in one wolfpack, namely.

Published at Monday, November 26th, 2018 - 00:56:15 AM. Baby Room. By Geraldina Sauer.
Baby room furniture: Babies need the right kind of furniture in the rooms. Ensure that the room does not have any furniture with sharp edges. Babies may bump into furniture and get hurt. It is an inborn nature for babies to crawl around and explore the environment around them. While applying these ideas one needs to keep in mind the comfort as well as the safety of the baby.
There's one important item in baby's room that cannot be ignored and it is the changing table. Make sure that the one you choose for your little one is a sturdy one. Always ensure that arrangements in the little ones room are made to keep the diaper bags close to the changing table. There should be shelves to keep the diapers, wipes etc close by. Preferably the dresser should also be place close to the changing table. For those who have a limited pocket and time preferably go for used ones.

Blair remains blissfully unaware the country is sick of Neo-Liberalism
Today the Establishment press has gone out of their way to elevate the voice of someone who is diametrically opposed to progressive socialism in the UK.
In an interview with Nick Robinson, a man whose politics is threatened by Corbyn, Blair said Labour had been through a 'profound change' under Jeremy Corbyn and that 'it is a different type of Labour Party.' Going on to say 'I don't think the British people will tolerate a situation where, for example, the choice at the next election is Boris Johnson versus Jeremy Corbyn.' However, it isn't that the British people won't 'tolerate' it, but rather that the only viable Establishment candidate is Boris Johnson and he is sure to lose.
Blair went on to say 'There [are] lots of people associated with me who feel that the Labour Party is lost, that the game's over. I am hoping they are not right.' And that the anti-Semitism row that had engulfed the party was 'bad because it has been, in the end, something that I just can't imagine ever happening in the Labour Party I joined.'
It has become a cliché to mention this, but Blair oversaw and helped orchestrated the biggest war crime of this century. He went to war based on CIA faked documents that Sadam was trying to buy yellowcake uranium powder from Niger during the Iraq disarmament crisis. Based on these faked documents, Blair took the British people to war with the support of his good friend Rupert Murdoch. A war that is still going on to this day and that no one has gone to prison for or even faced any notable punishment for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of US and UK armed forces. These people do not care about the people and nothing exemplifies this more than Bush joking about having not found any WMD – the WMDs that are known to have never existed – at a fancy awards dinner.
War crimes aside, Blair has the audacity to suggest that there could be room for a centrist party that backs 'socially liberal, progressive' politics but also believed in 'a strong private enterprise sector alongside a state that is capable of helping people.' Blair and his ilk want people to believe that the left under Corbyn are a bunch of anarchists that want to destroy private industry. He is flagrantly gaslighting the electorate. What he has just outlined as his hope for a centrist party is that they are somewhat progressive while returning to the neo-liberal policies that gave us Brexit and elected Trump.
These people are using us as pawns and trying to revamp and rebrand neoliberalism with the poster-boy for neoliberalism… A new centrist party would keep us on the hook, barely helping us barely get by, while lining the pockets of those pulling the strings.
A Labour party ran by Corbyn is our best chance at effecting change. However, perhaps a centrist party backed by Blair isn't too bad an idea; after all, it will never get any support and if it ever tries to establish itself we could lock the doors at their first meeting and hold a war crimes tribunal.

You might remember the blue willow china napkin rings I spotted at the antique mall...well I bought a set for my friend Lauren and then couldn't help but go get a set for myself!
One Kings Lane. It's beautiful gold ink-stamped fabric that was a bit of a surprise; I expected a bedskirt, but what I pulled out of the package were three strips of hemmed fabric. It actually works great, and will make it easier to rearrange, wash and iron, but it definitely threw me for a loop.
John Birdsong, along with a simple navy-striped shower curtain from Target. I also added a framed photograph of our wedding anniversary that my maid-of-honor gave us, along with a little picture I've had since the 8th grade.

A recent edition of BBC's Panorama captured evidence of shocking abuse taking place at a service for people with a learning disability and/or autism.
In response, Dr Paul Lelliott, Deputy Chief Inspector of Hospitals (lead for mental health), said:
"As soon as the BBC told us that they had evidence of abuse we alerted the police and they are now investigating.

Dedicated Servers- Why You Choose For Your Site?
You are working for a long time on the fledging website, but only you have received only hundreds of hits in each month. You are now having three hundred page monsters on the way to get the millions of hits in each of the months. But, in this way you require a better hosting plan than the server that you are having in the past. A much better hosting plan is that a better server, or more precisely a dedicated sever that will help you to secure all the data and you can have total control over the website. There can no one to interfere while you are hosting the site.
Now, it is the right type that you use the dedicated server for your own site. it is really a good thing to do. Almost all the businesses in Amsterdam use the dedicated servers for better control and flexibility. The Dedicated server in Amsterdam is one of the best things that you can take help of. This way you can get more improvement in the site and there will be total security of the site.
The dedicated server is a hardware that the hosting provider will generally give you as the lease or as in the rent. The server is having its own processor, Random Access Memory, hard drives and bandwidth capacity. The website that you are having the software it is having is hosted on the dedicated server's hard drive. The dedicated web hosting allows the user to install and run all the programs. They generally allow the users whom you have given the access to connect with the hosting. This feature has made the dedicated servers very popular among the online gamers. The dedicated servers that are used for playing offer the similar features of the regular dedicated servers available in the market.
There are various benefits of using the dedicated web hosting. They are reliable, they are customizable, and they are cost-effective and give proper security to the users.
Now, the question I, how you can choose the best dedicated server for you-
There are various ways to choose the dedicated servers. The first thing that you can consider is the server's processor. This mainly depends on the type of site that you are having. The websites that require powerful servers do have the virtualization servers, SQL servers and many more. The next thing to consider is the memory that you need for the website. Before you choose the server, the user should know the memory capacity of the website that he is having. The third thing to consider is the storage and bandwidth requirements.
When you are using the dedicated server in Amsterdam, you will not face any problem for sure as it is having well-defined operating system.

Thomas E. Mercure Honored by Warren County Bar Association
By: Carter Conboy
Albany, N.Y. (October 17, 2016 | www.carterconboy.com): Carter Conboy is pleased to announce that the Hon. Thomas E. Mercure was honored by the Warren County Bar Association on October 15, 2016 at a ceremony held at the Hyde Collection Art Museum in Glens Falls. Justice Mercure was awarded the prestigious "Charles Evans Hughes" award for his decades of contribution to the practice of law. Justice Mercure is one of only three lawyers to receive the award from the Warren County Bar Association. It was previously bestowed to Lawrence Corbett in 2004 and Richard Bartlett in 2002.
Justice Mercure joined Carter Conboy in September, 2014 and focuses his practice on appellate advocacy, ethics and complex civil litigation, and alternative dispute resolution services, including mediation and arbitration.
In 1969, Justice Mercure began his career in the private practice of law in Fort Edward, New York. He entered public service in 1973 as an Assistant District Attorney in Washington County. He became first assistant a year later, was elected District Attorney in 1976 and served in that position for four years.
Justice Mercure's career on the bench began in 1981 following his election as Washington County Judge. His tenure as a jurist continued for the next 33 years, during which time he was elected to three terms on the state Supreme Court, was appointed to the Appellate Division, Third Department, and served as Administrative Judge of the Third Judicial District, overseeing courts, judges and court system employees in seven counties.
In March, 2014, Justice Mercure retired from the bench after serving for more than 25 years as Associate Justice of the Appellate Division, during which time he heard more than 21,000 appeals, wrote more than 3,000 signed opinions, and became the longest serving Justice in the 118-year history of the court. Justice Mercure served as Acting Presiding Justice in 2011 and 2012.
Justice Mercure sat on the New York State Court of Appeals, by designation, twice in 1994 and 2011 for two cases, including one related to the World Trade Center bombing in 1993. He was nominated and determined to be well qualified for a seat on the high court three times by the Commission on Judicial Nomination in 2006-2007 – twice for Associate Judge and once for Chief Judge of the State of New York.
Justice Mercure has also been the recipient of numerous professional recognitions and honors, including the Unified Court System's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Capital District Trial Lawyers Association Edward S. Conway Judicial Excellence Award, and the 2014 dedication of the Washington County Courthouse as The Hon. Thomas E. Mercure Washington County Courthouse.

This is Because although all its products (MyThemeShop develops themes and plugins) are readily available to buy individually, it also includes a membership option that provides users complete access to its entire product range.
Believe It or not, MyThemeShop is one of the largest WordPress clubs boasting a catalog of 20 plugins and 99 topics and a whopping customers. Best Paid WordPress Themes
MyThemeShop Support
As we have Touched in this post, MyThemeShop offers 24/7 support for its customers, quality. It takes place primarily in its own service forum, in public, so that other users may learn from common issues.
There's a Dedicated department for themes and plugins, plus separation between free and premium products. Simply post your problem on the forum and one of the MyThemeShop-employed service team will respond to your query promptly — usually in no more than the hour.
Instead Than only concentrating on paid members, MyThemeShop offers great support to free users also, considering that the service someone receives for a commodity shouldn't rely on whether they paid or not.
The forum Supports a search feature, so you can look for solutions to a problem — usually the quickest way to discover answers. Resolved inquiries are indicated with a stamp that was green resolved.
Along with The service forum, MyThemeShop has added a selection of 45 video tutorials teaching the basics of WordPress, how to use the MyThemeShop goods, and even how to utilize some favorite non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are available through the Tutorial tab.
And, if You are still unable after submitting to this support forum to fix your issue, MyThemeShop also provides email support. Should you need tweaks to your theme, specific customisations, site setup, or website migrations, the MyThemeShop service team will be able to help you out (though these solutions are, as you would expect, paid).
MyThemeShop WordPress Themes
Now, on Into the things that is important: its products' high quality and choice. We'll start by studying MyThemeShop's core product range: WordPress topics.
The MyThemeShop collection is composed of 99 topics to date — 83 premium topics, and 16 ones that are free. Best Paid WordPress Themes
MyThemeShop Topics were designed with usability in mind, and each theme ships using a market-leading theme options panel from which you are able to command the motif's settings, import arbitrary content (to have your website looking like the demonstration you watched when you bought the theme), or dip into its numerous customisation options.
It is Worth taking a little time to discuss the scope of those options, which makes the themes versatile.
To get a Begin, every theme has support for colours that are unlimited and the catalogue of Google net fonts — more than 600. Perhaps more importantly, all themes offer unlimited background choices: including many different built-in desktop patterns, the above unlimited colours, and also the choice to upload a custom background picture.
The Themes are fairly feature-rich too. There is built in ad management, lightweight and stylish buttons that were social-sharing, and contact type included with every theme. All themes also come with support for the entire selection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, allowing you to incorporate eye-catching design elements to your site with ease.
Most Importantly, however, is that underneath all of this is really a clean, lightweight, and powerful code. What's more, to make sure that your site is as visitor-friendly as you possibly can, all themes boast a fully mobile responsive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: every theme comes with a narrated video tutorial, also MyThemeShop offers round-the-clock support that will help you out of any tight spots you may experience (more about this later).
The Themes are split across four classes:
- Magazine topics (39 available)
- Website themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce topics (17 available)
- Business themes (9 available)
Searching To get a motif is simple, and that the MyThemeShop website has plenty of features to give you a hand. To begin with, you can search for themes in each of the four classes we've just listed, plus there is a separate class for free and assorted themes. Or, if you would prefer, you can begin by searching for a keyword using the search function. Best Paid WordPress Themes
All Themes include a trailer to help you to get an concept of the design. These previews come in rows of three by default, but, if you'd prefer a slightly bigger preview, you can select rows of 2. There is also a filter which allows you form the topics by launch date or recognition.
Maybe Most helpful of all, however, is that MyThemeShop allows you to select which features you want in your subject. Features are selected from a list, and any theme that fails to meet with your standards is dropped out of the search page. There are nine choices (and also you can select more than one):
- Two column
- Three column
- AdSense optimised
- Full width
- Fixed header
- Responsive
- Slider
- Translation ready
When You've discovered a motif you like the appearance of, you can click through to the theme's product page. Here, you'll be able to read more about the theme's main attributes, and you will find an idea of this subject's popularity — every theme involves a neighborhood rating from five.
As you'd Expect from one of the theme sellers round, every motif also comes with its own demo.
Before You purchase a theme, I'd strongly suggest spending a couple of minutes exploring this demonstration. You'll be able to sample the motif's layouts, try out different customisation choices, and find an overall idea of how the motif looks and performs.

To give You a taste of the quality of the themes, let's take a little time to look at some of the best it has to offer. No sales amounts are made available, so we're trusting the'popularity' search function . (Note: Just click a screenshot to be taken straight to the theme's demonstration page.)

Social Traffic is always growing, and entire sites have popped up feeding exclusively off traffic that is social. If you are looking to build a viral societal website, SociallyViral was assembled for you — the theme boasts a variety of features to skyrocket social shares and also cater to viral traffic. That means a site with lots of social buttons, trending article widgets, and also, with one eye on monetization, advanced AdSense optimization.

MyThemeShop Plans
With this Many competitors do MyThemeShop's theme and plug costs stack up? Let us look at the product rates.
MyThemeShop Operates a pricing structure that is flat — any theme will probably put you back a fixed $59, with plugins coming at $29 each. This is a somewhat typical price for plugins and themes, and on a level with marketplaces such as ThemeForest and CodeCanyon.
Should you Need access an extended membership account prices $167 a year. For that price, you'll receive access to most of 99 themes and 20 plugins, in addition to client support and full access.
Membership Is more expensive than that of some of the additional theme clubs, like ElegantThemes (from $59 annually ), TeslaThemes (from $59 a year), and ThemeIsle (from $99 a year), but more reasonably priced than the likes of WooThemes (from $399 annually — update — 16th July: WooThemes.com is currently under the umbrella of WooCommerce.com, with their themes offered at https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/), WPMU Dev (from $294 a year), and StudioPress (from $499 a year).
Something Working well in its favour is the simple fact that membership licences permit the goods to be used in an unlimited number of sites — making them ideal for freelancers and agencies. And, as stated, by purchasing the permit that is elongated you receive continuing support — support which even extends to your customer sites. (Note: We'll get into this later on in the report.)
What's More, an elongated membership will also give you access to some new products published by MyThemeShop for the length of your subscription.

The statue, a sandstone masterwork with a catalog estimate of $2 million to $3 million, was pulled from auction at the last minute last March after the Cambodian government complained it had been "illegally removed" from the country.
The quiet tussle over the relic reveals the swampy terrain of auctioning antiquities with incomplete or disputed pedigrees. Sellers with a good-faith belief in their ownership rights enter a landscape in which ethics and regulations are evolving, governments are increasingly assertive, and lawyers versed in arcane statutes are as necessary as jungle guides.
"We live in a different world, and what was acceptable 50 years ago is no longer so," said Matthew F. Bogdanos, a Marine Corps Reserve colonel and a lawyer, who was awarded a National Humanities Medal for leading the hunt for treasures ransacked from the Baghdad Museum in 2003. "Whatever the letter of the law may state, in the end you have to ask yourself, 'Does the item pass the smell test?' "Continue reading the main story
Jane A. Levine, senior vice president and worldwide compliance director for Sotheby's, said the auction house was "aware there are widely divergent views on how to resolve conflicts involving cultural heritage objects."
"Sotheby's approach to the Khmer sculpture is one of responsible and ethical market behavior and international cooperation between private and public entities," she said.
Archaeologists and Cambodian officials say the case of the footless statue is all the more poignant because of the country's recent history of genocide and plunder, and because researchers have found the very pedestal and feet belonging to the artwork. The discovery was made in Koh Ker, 60 miles northeast of the
The sculpture, which is five feet tall and weighs 250 pounds, is one of a pair of scowling athlete-combatants in intricate headdresses from the mid 900s who were positioned in battle-ready stances and come from one of Koh Ker's temples; it is about 200 years older than the famous sculptures at Angkor Wat.
In 2007
Archaeologists say all clues suggest the work at Sotheby's was plundered in the 1970s amid the chaos of power struggle and genocide, when the Khmer Rouge ravaged Cambodia, and looters hacked their way into long-inaccessible temples, pillaged priceless antiquities and sold them to Thai and Western collectors. The Khmer Rouge ruled Cambodia from 1975 to 1979.
"Every red flag on the planet should have gone off when this was offered for sale," said Herbert V. Larson Jr., a
When asked whether the statue could have been stolen, Ms. Levine countered that the statue could have been removed any time in its thousand-year history, and said the word stolen was often "used loosely."
To write the catalog entry for the statue, Sotheby's hired the scholar Emma C. Bunker, a co-author of the authoritative book "Adoration and Glory: The Golden Age of Khmer
The Cambodian government also contacted the State Department, prompting the investigation by the Department of Homeland Security's
Sotheby's says its research proves that its client has had "clear title" to the work since buying it from Spink & Son in
Ms. Levine, a former federal prosecutor named last year to
Originally, Ms. Levine said that Cambodia had been informed of the Sotheby's sale "four to six weeks" before the auction. Late on Tuesday, however, a Sotheby's spokeswoman said that Ms. Levine's recollection had been "incorrect," and that the auction house had notified Cambodia on Nov. 8, 2010, four and a half months before the auction date. The statue's seller, speaking through Sotheby's, declined to be identified or to comment.
Laws governing the repatriation of disputed artifacts are complex and differ from nation to nation. In Cambodia's case, because the statue was exported "long before the passage of a 1993 Cambodian law that nationalized cultural heritage," Ms. Levine said, there were no restrictions on its sale or auction.
Nonetheless, the global controversy surrounding looted artifacts has led many American museums to adopt ethical guidelines that go beyond the legal requirements. In 2004 the Association of Art Museum Directors declared "member museums should not acquire" any undocumented works "that were removed after November 1970, regardless of any applicable statutes of limitation."
Ms. Levine said Sotheby's withdrew the antiquity from the auction block "to forge a solution acceptable both to Cambodia and to the owner of the statue."
Doing so has laid bare a little-known but increasingly common practice used by poor nations to recover artifacts. Working with the
"There is no question the statue was looted in the final stages of the war," said the collector, Istvan Zelnik, a former Hungarian diplomat in the region who has visited Koh Ker. His own collection forms the Zelnik Istvan Museum of Southeast Asian Gold in
"The best solution is that I purchase it for purposes of donation," Mr. Zelnik added.
Anne LeMaistre, the Unesco representative in Phnom Penh, who is involved in the Sotheby's talks, said "buying back such items can seem distasteful, but sadly it is not unusual when the country's aim is return of the property."
Yet another wrinkle is expected on Wednesday when lawyers working with Cambodia plan to announce the rediscovery of a 1925 French colonial law declaring all antiquities from Cambodia's multitude of temples to be "part of the national domain" and "the exclusive property of the state." The statement goes on to say that this law remained in force after Cambodian independence, which came in 1953.
Tess Davis, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation and the Cambodia scholar who dug out the law, said it had been analyzed by three French-speaking lawyers conversant in cultural heritage litigation and by Ms. LeMaistre. All four say it "nationalizes ownership of Cambodian cultural artifacts."
If international legal authorities and American civil courts agree, the law could establish 1925, rather than 1993, as the dividing point after which Cambodian artifacts taken without government permits can be treated as stolen property. Cambodia would still have to prove that the statue was looted after 1925, "a high burden but not an impossible one," according to Mr. Bogdanos, who agrees the 1925 law "appears to be valid."
If it survives legal challenges, the law could affect the Norton Simon piece too, although that case would be more difficult because Cambodia has long known of the statue's presence there, lawyers say. Mr. Simon, the industrialist and collector, bought his statue, also in 1975, from a leading Madison Avenue antiquities dealer, William H. Wolff.
Eric Bourdonneau, the archaeologist who matched both statues to their bases, says the relics were looted in the early 1970s.
He said French records in
On one thing all parties agree: The statue is a masterpiece. In the Sotheby's catalog Ms. Bunker wrote, "If one could choose only one sculpture to represent the glory of Khmer art, this figure could fulfill such a challenge."Continue reading the main story

Tonight's program
* Joan Tower's "Fanfare for the UnCommon Woman No. 2" (1987)
* Richard Strauss' "Don Juan" (1888)
* Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 (1900-1901)
With its expressive themes and grandiose orchestration, Richard Strauss' symphonic poem "Don Juan" is a truly mammoth example of Romantic composition.
Thanks to its technical complexity, Strauss' symphonic depiction of the legendary Spanish rogue makes frequent appearances at orchestral auditions. What better work to introduce the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera's Masterworks concert series than a piece that showcases its members at their best, says conductor Kayoko Dan.
"It's one of those pieces that we practice on our own for hours and hours and hours," Dan says. "Sometimes, it's nice to fit it all together and actually enjoy the fruit of your practice. It's the centerpiece [of the concert] for the CSO itself. It will feature every section and the principals. It will really highlight each player and show off what we've got."
The CSO will assail "Don Juan" during the season's inaugural concert tonight, Sept. 22, at the Tivoli Theatre. The symphony's Chamber series opener follows Sunday, Oct. 2, with "Musical Passport," and the Pops Series, "Mambo Kings," on Saturday, Oct. 8.
Fittingly for a season opener, this evening's performance will commence with "Fanfare for the UnCommon Woman No. 2," a horn-resplendent 1987 work by American composer Joan Tower.
After "Don Juan," the second half of the evening will be filled with Piano Concerto No. 2, a 40-minute Romantic work by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff that will feature guest pianist and Lee University assistant professor Ning An.
The evening's selections are all new works for Dan, in her tenure as the CSO's conductor, a role she has held now for six seasons. In the case of the Strauss piece, in particular, this concert represents the fulfillment of a longtime wish, she says.
"'Don Juan' is one of those pieces that I've been wanting to conduct for a really long time, so I'm really excited about it," she says. "Strauss was a conductor as well as a composer, so his score is really fascinating because it has a lot of directions for us."
Dan says all six of the season's remaining Masterworks concerts will include unexpected musical twists and appeals, but she's especially excited about the Oct. 20 premiere of a new piece by Kendra D'Ercole, the March 2 performance by guest violinist Holly Mulcahy of a James Stephenson violin concerto and the season-concluding performance on April 27 of Claude Debussy's "La Mer."
"Debussy is my other favorite composer," she says, "Exploring his music is always a pleasure."
