Australia's South African adventure may have come to an early end but their talismanic midfielder Tim Cahill was nothing but positive after the Socceroos signed off their FIFA World Cup™ campaign with victory over Serbia. Even though they had fallen just short on goal difference to Ghana in Group D, the returning Cahill – wrapped in an Australian flag and wearing a yellow and blue jester's hat – seemed the picture of contentment after the Socceroos had left the Mbombela Stadium pitch to a standing ovation.
After a scoreless first half in Nelspruit, Australia came out and stunned Serbia by taking a two-goal lead before a late reply made the final score 2-1. Cahill, sent off during the Germany loss that opened their tournament and suspended for the ensuing draw with Ghana, scored the opener that breathed life into the Aussies' campaign and left them in with a shout of reaching the knockout stage.
And while he said immediately after that the win was "not that sweet", Cahill admitted that it was at least a positive. In fact, he balked when it was suggested that victory had a taste of the bitter to it. "No, I wouldn't say that even," he told FIFA.com. "It's unbelievable to have played in the World Cup after last week. I didn't even know if I would get another chance to play here. There was a lot of discussion after the Germany game, whether it was my fault to get sent off or not, but it made me want to come back, and come back and play great."
There's no doubt, he's always there when you need him
Although they were already two goals down by the time Cahill was shown red in the 56th minute against the Germans, it is hard not to wonder how different things may have been if he had not been sent off and missed the 1-1 draw with the Black Stars. "Oh no, it was great anyway," he said. "If we beat Ghana, yeah you know, but that's in hindsight. It's over now, and this was a great result. Now we just have to look past it and take the positives, and the positive is we've shown what we can do, we've got great team spirit and we've got loads of young talent coming through."
When asked about Cahill's importance to the Aussies, outgoing coach Pim Verbeek said the "impact player" was one of the most consistent and important on his side. "There's no doubt, he's always there when you need him," the Dutchman told FIFA.com "He's always scored goals. His work-rate is fantastic. The team feels more confident when he is out there, so we missed him after the sending-off against Germany and then especially against Ghana. It was a big loss, but he showed today how much he can help the team."
While Cahill would admit to being one of the leaders of the team, he was quick to say after the match that the Asian representatives were a unit that "have no heroes". But typical of his bustling style, he said he prefers to lead through action. "I think being asked to lead is fantastic, but you have to show it on the pitch. I work hard for my team and run from the first minute to the very end." His 69th-minute goal, which brought a noticeable spark to the yellow-clad side, was a perfect example. From a long cross from the left wing, the Serbia defence seemingly had it covered, but the battling Cahill showed more determination and timing than his rival to sneak in and head the ball past the stunned goalkeeper.
But like the leader that he is, Cahill was quick to credit his team-mate for the pass. "It was a great ball from Wilko [Luke Wilkshire] and that was it," he said before describing the moment. "I've been working hard the last couple of days on making solid contact and letting the ball do the work instead of trying to hit it so hard. I just tried to put it in the corner, and I'm just buzzing that it went in."

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." ~ Matthew 28:1-10
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne.
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
…who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. ~ Romans 1:4

Hey guys, Jana here,
We've reported before that Bruce Campbell and Wizard World have collaborated in bringing 'Last Fan Standing', a game show for the nerds among us to life. It makes Comic-Cons more awesome because that's where they film, and it makes reality TV so much more fun as it's part of Wizard World's ConTV. Bruce has run into a problem and needs our help though!
Season 1 has been completed, but a Kickstarter has been created to help fund further seasons, how can you BE the 'Last Fan Standing' if 'Last Fan Standing' ceases to exist?! This is a call to war, a call to arms, well, just a call to donate. But, in return for funding, there are rewards available as awesome as Bruce Campbell himself. Don't believe me? Check it out, only $5 gets you eye contact, that's a bargain! A hooker will charge you extra for eye contact but Bruce is only charging you $5 for it, before you ask, no, I don't know the price for a reach-around but I'm sure that's something that qualifies for the "email and ask" section.
The best part about this show is it covers the kind of trivia con-attendees are brim to the top with. Topics from film, books, TV, comics and beyond are all up for grabs and everyone gets to compete! There are no separate tryouts, if you're present that day, you get a clicker and, based on the answers, given a chance to become part of this awesome game show! Check out the Kickstarter and see what you can do to help the fledgling show gain some solid ground.

Nature underpins our entire society so it's vital children are able to connect with the natural world.
Study after study has shown that "environments rich in wildlife are also associated with improved well-being, through emotional, social and psychological benefits." (Bragg et al, 2015) We also know that children are happier, healthier and more creative when connected to the natural world (The Wildlife Trusts, 2015), and more able to cope with stressful situations (Wells & Evans, 2003).
An Ofsted report in 2008 found that "when planned and implemented well, learning outside the classroom contributed significantly to raising standards and improving pupils' personal, social and emotional development."
Our Approach
Our sessions are planned with children in mind, involving a range of engaging, hands-on activities and games to suit all learning styles. Every session aims to encourage enquiry, creativity and teamwork as well as delivering subject-specific learning outcomes.

Heatherwick Studio won a competition to design low-cost facilities for sixteen start-up arts enterprises for Aberystwyth Arts Centre, part of the University of Wales Aberystwyth.
Reluctant to dilute the wooded character of the site by superimposing a single campus-style block, the studio chose instead to set eight smaller buildings among the trees. These consist of simple timber frame sheds, split down their centre and pulled apart to provide light and ventilation and a shared entrance area. See more;
The studio developed a special cladding system for the buildings. As stainless steel is everlasting but expensive, the studio sourced steel the thickness of cooking foil. This makes it affordable, but it crinkles easily, providing neither structural rigidity nor insulation. These problems are overcome by crinkling it in a controlled manner before spraying a CFC-free insulation foam on the back of the crinkled surface. The paneling is affordable, rigid and well insulated; it accommodates details like eaves and windowsills and has a non- uniformity, reflecting the forest's leaves and pieces of sky in its facets.
The project was officially launched in May 2009.

Is your child worried about starting school? Here are 5 things to do to ease any worries.
The first day of school is one of the most significant event for most children and parents too. It can also be a stressful and anxious day. Learn how to cope emotionally on that BIG DAY.
1. Prepare her
It's very normal for some children to fret in the run-up to their first days at school. You can help ease anxiety by looking at some books together, and go through some routines together. Try on new uniforms, new shoes, new bags. Involve her as much as possible in preparing for the Big Day. Let your little one know that there's plenty of fun awaiting her.
2. Talk to her
Acknowledge her feelings and empathize with her. You might say that you remember feeling nervous about starting school when you were little too. In fact, you could recount some happy memories from your own schooldays and ask her what she is looking forward to: making new friends, being a big girl in her uniform. Try to find out gently if she has any particular worries and talk these through in a low-key way. Let her know you'll be there for her if she needs you.
3. Stay as per normal
Going on a holiday before the school term starts is a really bad idea. Make sure life stays on as per normal. This is not the time to join new groups or activities. Be around her and stick to your normal routine. She'll get comfort from familiarity.
4. Allow her to process her emotions
Allow her to regress a little if she shows signs. It's a normal reaction to anxiety. She might want more of your time and attention, plenty of cuddles and a little bit of babying. Don't panic if she starts sucking her thumb or carting a long-discarded comforter around her, and don't comment. If she's become unsettled in the evenings or at night, that's to be expected too. You might have to work at getting bedtimes back on track by using the sort of techniques that you have relied on when she was a toddler.
5. Do not show your anxiety
You would be anxious too but do not show your anxieties. Keep a positive, reassuring front. Avoid complaining about the school constantly between now and the time of joining. If you do get a chance to point out some positives, be sure to 'big it up'. After all, it's an exciting time.
1) Over teach
There is a reason why MOE lauded its 'Teach Less, Learn More' initiative. Too much teaching discourages independent learning. Your child needs to learn how to learn. He needs to learn to discover and understand on his own. Many parents make the mistake by pushing their child to learn too fast and too much. The race is not about how fast you know a certain skill or how much you know; the key skill that your child need to cultivate is the ability to learn on his own.
2) Discourage the love of learning
Children are innate learners. But some parents inadvertently discourage them to learn. Be careful not to make negative remarks on learning. Do not use learning as a form of punishment (e.g. 'Because you threw a tantrum, I am sending you to your room to read'). Do not make it sound like it is not fun (e.g. 'You can only play after you finish writing this'). And never belittle your child (e.g. 'You are so stupid')
3) Rote learning
Learning should not be static. There is no one way to learn. While each child might have different learning styles, do not confine them to one mode of learning. Write it down, use manipulatives, songs, physical activities, group-work – the key is to hone your child's ability to learn in all ways. And never rely only on assessment books.
4) Learning without context
The most common mistake parents make is to limit knowledge to paper and pen. Children need to understand things in authentic contexts. They need to see, hear, touch, smell and feel before they can create meanings. And they need to transfer their knowledge to various authentic contexts so that they internalize what they learnt. For example, if 1 and 1 make 2, they should transfer that to know that $1 and $1 make $2; and one hour after one o'clock is two o'clock.
5) Overly repetitive
Repetition is good to perfect skills. But you don't have to repeatedly do the same thing if the understanding is complete. Some enrichment and tuition centres focus on repeating and practicing the same skills. In the short term, your child will achieve good results. But over the long haul, your child becomes fixated on one method of learning and may face problem moving on to higher level skills.
6) Promote unhealthy competition
Never compare your child's performance with another child. Learning is not for results solely. Teach your child to enjoy learning, and to strive to excel for himself. Competition discourages both the winner and the loser. As long as your child improves, that is a victory and should be celebrated.

Four-stars to the nuclear rescue
Gen. Larry Spencer, second from left, prepares to discuss Air Force readiness before a House panel earlier this year.
WASHINGTON--Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel ended the press conference on America's nuclear deterrent by saying, "I'll give the last word to Adm. Haney."
He was referring to a graduate of the District of Columbia Public Schools standing next to a similarly improbable four-star admiral.
But the optics were clear. America's most powerful weapons were entrusted to Adms. Cecil Haney and Michelle Howard to reverse a series of missteps which threatened to shake the confidence in the strategic force.
Both Naval Academy graduates, Haney is the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, which controls all nuclear weapons, and Howard is the vice chief of naval operations, the second ranking officer in the U.S. Navy and the highest ranking woman in U.S. military history.
The stakes could not be higher. A resurgent Russian Federation and People's Republic of China, along with South Asian rivals Pakistan and India make atomic politics relevant again, more so than any time since the end of the Soviet Union.
Along with Gen. Larry Spencer, the vice chief of staff of the U.S.
Air Force, also tasked with improving the Air Force's readiness after a decade of war, it was a further indication of the continuing progress of African-American military officers into the highest ranks of the armed forces.
Hagel announced a ten percent increase in the $16 billion spent on nuclear forces, in response to a review panel study.
Howard added, " I just visited our Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic last week. Those buildings were built 25 years ago and they're in good shape. But then when you think about it, it's like your 25-year-old house."
Haney added, "I've visited all of our nuclear bases, more than twice in most cases over my tenure here, about a year of being in command in U.S. Strategic Command. And I can say I've met with small groups, large groups, et cetera. And most of our folks to a -- were very committed to the point where they were perturbed at the performance by those who demonstrated flaws in their integrity. And they are very passionate about the business and very hopeful as they look at this commitment that the department has had associated with this mission, which is very important to our country."

Detoxifying from cocaine
Detoxification means getting rid of all traces of the drug from the body. The process includes various interventions to manage drug intoxication and withdrawal symptoms. One of the main purposes for cocaine detox is to minimize physical harm and ease severe withdrawal symptoms of the users.
In cocaine detox several of these events are involved during treatment:
- The user's assessment of cocaine dependence
- The physical, psychological well-being of the user as well as their medical history
- Psychological and emotional support of the users from family and friends
- Appropriate rehabilitation treatment that comprises of education, lifestyle change, and substance abuse treatment program
- Assessment of the current physical and mental state of the user like a headache, depression, and suicidal thoughts
Two ways of Detoxification process
As complicated as it may seem, there are just two ways to detox from cocaine abuse.
- Natural detox
- Detox medications
Natural Detox
Natural detox means drinking water, lots of it, allowing the body to naturally flush out the toxins from its system. The body will naturally cleanse all traces of cocaine from its system but this process may take longer.
For first-time cocaine user, natural detox is possible but the time frame varies. The body can get rid of cocaine approximately 2 to 3 days from the last dose. However, for heavy it would take 12 days to a month to naturally cleanse the drug from the body.
Using detox medication
Users may also choose to take detox products in the form of pills, powders, and drinks. These medications can aid the body to quickly get rid of the drugs from its system. They can speed up the elimination process and let users manage of drug levels in the body to test clean of a drug test.
Detox products can also help the body regain the vitamins and mineral lost due to drug abuse. These minerals may include zinc and niacin to assist the body excreting cocaine.
Water and cocaine
In summary, cocaine is a water-soluble drug, which makes it easier to flush out from the body. Users may need to consider these things when choosing to detox naturally:
- natural detox takes longer
- it would take even longer time for long-term and heavy users
- not the best method for immediate urine screening
Cocaine Detox Timeline
Users cannot just eliminate cocaine from their system without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. It is important to know what to expect during detox.
Day 1 to 3
From the last drug intake, within the period of 24 to 72 hours, users may feel remorse and depression. They may also feel hungry most of the times as well as irritable. Users may also experience insomnia and wake up to feeling down, disoriented and confused.
Day 4 to 7
Users may experience up and down emotions as intense drug cravings start to kick in. They might need longer period of sleep as they will really feel extreme cravings. However, these feelings will decrease after 3 to 4 days. Other withdrawal symptoms will also begin to emerge like:
- anxiety
- aggression
- apathy
- depression
- dysphoria
- loss of appetite
- irritability
- paranoia
After a week
About a week from the start of a detox program, users may begin to feel better, as most of the drug left the system. During this time, they may start to gain back their confidence which may include an uplift of spirit regarding the detox program. Cravings may start to subside but can start without warning. However, other symptoms may linger like mood swings, depression, and sleeping problems. After the first week of detox, users may still experience nightmares, agitation but have an increased appetite.
2 weeks from detox
Users may still experience nightmares and cravings from time to time. They may also suffer withdrawal symptoms like:
- hunger
- anger
- depression
- agitations
Maintaining a drug-free lifestyle
After a month in the detox process, users may still suffer from erratic mood changes, sleep problems and depression. Fortunately, exercise and a healthy diet can easily address these symptoms. The root of addiction may surface around this time, so relapse is common during this phase. Until now, there are no specific treatment programs that can guarantee full recovery from cocaine addiction. It is still best to seek medical help from doctors, psychologist and psychiatrist to fully recover from the addiction. These experts can address the behavioral, psychological root of addiction.
The hardest part of the program is breaking and overcoming the 'binge-crash' cycle of cocaine use. That can happen during the third or fourth day of detox. If users can manage their way out of that, most likely they can win their battle of addiction and stay sober.
A natural approach is seen more beneficial to recover from cocaine addiction because of it takes longer. Meanwhile using medications is like shortcuts, users may pass a drug test but can also give false recovery. Even though users can excrete drug traces, the physiological effects of addiction take longer time to repair. This along with the psychological well-being needs to be addressed properly to maintain sobriety.

Never satisfied with the way you look? Feel like you are not good enough in comparison with the people around you? First of all, you should never despise yourself. If you don't think you worth much, why should others think any different? Also, why do you have bad thoughts about yourself? It is not pleasant to hear them coming from another person, so then why do you do these things to your own person? Here are some ideas an tips to improve your image and your opinion about yourself.
Never Compare Yourself With Other People
Stop looking at others and wishing to look just like them. That is insane, not to mention that it's impossible either. Each human being is unique and it's good to acknowledge that. The person next to you may be unique due to his or her curly hair. You may have other advantages, like beautiful eyes, silky hair, tall legs and many other characteristics. Look in the mirror and focus only on the advantages you see.
Take Care Of Yourself Properly
Don't go to the salon only when the holiday's are approaching. Make it a more regular habit, since feeling pampered will definitely get you feeling better about yourself. Don't go out of the house without minimum care, like combed hair, a bit of gloss, mascara, or a clean shirt and being shaved, in the case of men. The respect you're giving to yourself will be reflected in the respect others will manifest towards you. So it is important to let others see that you appreciate yourself enough.
Dress The Way You Feel And Like
It is wrong to think that clothes and small accessories cannot improve the way we look. Of course, we should not transform clothes shopping into an obsession, but buying baggy and unattractive clothes are not a solution either. You can afford from time to time a scarf, a lovely blouse, some beautiful shoes, or a pair of earrings. Whatever makes you feel more beautiful and manages to brighten your day. Just a small item, such as a hat, can make you feel happier and even more stylish.
Take Care Of Your Living Space
You will definitely not be able to feel good if the house you are living in does not emanate positive vibes. Pick your favourite colour and change your curtains, buy some nice pillows and some small decorative items. Make sure everything is properly cleaned and aired. You can even buy some scented candles to make the place warmer and smell better. Perhaps even get a few green plants. You will see just how valuable the space you're living in is when it comes to your mood and opinion about yourself.

The usual, relatively simple, and highly effective treatment for genetic haemochromatosis consists of regular removal of blood. Known as venesection, venesection therapy or phlebotomy, the procedure is the same as for blood donors; every pint (450ml) of blood removed contains about a quarter of a gram of iron.
After venesection, the body then uses some of the excess stored iron to make new red blood cells.
Initially, venesection will usually be performed once a week, depending on the degree of iron overload. Treatment may need to be continued at this frequency for up to two years, occasionally longer. During the course of treatment, serum ferritin levels are monitored, indicating the size of the remaining iron stores. Treatment will usually continue until the serum ferritin level indicates minimal iron stores.
This is not the end of the story however; excess iron will continue to be absorbed so the individual will need occasional venesections, referred to as maintenance therapy. Typically this means every 3 to 4 months, for the rest of his or her life. Monitoring of transferrin saturation and serum ferritin is used to assess whether venesection is required more or less often. Generally (but take individual advice) transferrin saturation should be maintained below 50% and the serum ferritin below 50µg/l.
The graph below shows how blood test results may change during treatment. Serum ferritin decreases steadily, but transferrin saturation remains high until iron deficiency occurs, then falls sharply.
Your doctor or consultant will also monitor levels of haemoglobin during venesection therapy to avoid iron levels falling too rapidly. Venesection therapy may be paused if this is the case.
If you join Haemochromatosis UK we will provide you with a record card so you can keep a note of your venesection dates and ongoing blood test results, and a copy of The Haemochromatosis Handbook.
For people who have severe difficulty or other medical problems giving blood, there are drugs that will remove iron from the body. This is called chelation therapy and is normally used to treat iron overload caused by the multiple blood transfusions necessary for the treatment of inherited anaemias.
The most common chelating drug, desferrioxamine, is less effective than venesection and must be administered by continuous infusion, which is not pleasant for the patient. Although oral iron chelators are being developed venesection remains more effective and is therefore the preferred treatment for haemochromatosis.
Erythrocytapheresis is a process by which blood is removed, red blood cells are extracted, and the remaining fluids are returned to the patient. Some researchers suggest this is more effective than venesection but this is debatable. The process is much more complex and introduces some risks; it is not generally used in the UK.

One of the great challenges I've faced in my new job as a career consultant in Melbourne is working with international students. While many of them have a lot to do to improve their employability skills, not to mention their resumes, they seem to be at a real disadvantage when it comes to finding and securing opportunities. At the Big Meet job fair, I was quite shocked to numerous employers had signs on their booths stating: "Australian Citizens and Permanent Residents Only", despite the fact that international students have the legal right to work in Australia and a lot to offer employers. I struggled to think of what I could do to help my international students in the face of these barriers.
For this reason I joined a couple of hundred of fellow education professionals at the International Education Association of Australia's International Employability Symposium, here in Melbourne. The goal of the symposium was to look at the barriers international students face when seeking employment in Australia, such as a lack of employability skills and experience; a shortage of opportunities; and general reluctance to employ international graduates.
At the heart of the symposium were drafts of three "good practice guides" – one for students, one for employers, and one for institutions – aimed at improving employability outcomes for international students. The attendees were asked for their feedback, much of which pointed out that booklets would be less effective than more dynamic digital or social media resources.
A highlight of the symposium was hearing from Rob Lawrence, CEO of Prospect Research and expert in international education market research, on the miss-alignment between what employers are looking for and what international students have to offer. Part of this is a lack of employability skills on the part of the students', but it also involves a lack of awareness of the value of international students on the part of the employers. The findings offered some concrete areas where international students need to improve to be competitive: communication and problem solving, workplace experience, and fitting into the Australian workplace culture.
It was nice to be involved in this discussion and I found myself feeling motivated that I have something I can contribute to this mission. But I couldn't help but feel that two important stakeholders were missing from the conversation: the employers and the top rungs of university leadership. The symposium participants were all very motivated and had immense expertise that they could bring to bear on the problem, if only they had the resources to do so.
Aside from the symposium proceedings, I also enjoyed my first experience of live-tweeting an event, which to my surprise and slight embarrassment saw my Twitter avatar broadcast on the projector for half the day. As a result of that I got to meet some people working on really interesting projects aligned with my interests, such as Meld Magazine for international students, Refraction Media, which publishes really nice careers guides for STEM fields, and Ready Grad, which produces online and blended career development resources.

Have you always wanted a designer handbag but couldn't afford it because of the hefty price tag? Well look no further because there is a new Designer Handbag rental in town and you can rent designer handbags for a fraction of the cost. Bling Borrowers was created in Calgary, Alberta, Canada by two sisters who have a weakness for designer goods, but also like saving money. These sisters found that once they invested in a designer item, they would either: use the item a few times and let it sit in their closet collecting dust, or use the item every day to get their money's worth until it got old and it was not so chic and fashionable anymore. So, the sisters figured there had to be a better way. Why not pay for only what you use? And so, Bling Borrowers was born. For the price of one expensive designer handbag, you could rent something different each month for the same price. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Not only do they rent designer handbags, they also rent jewelry and accessories as well. The list of designers they carry are Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Coach, Badgley Mischka and many more.
Your dreams of carrying a designer handbag is just a click away. Check out their website here

Automaker Toyota Kirloskar Motor, which has its factory in the Bidadi industrial area, was shut all of Tuesday after having to close early on Monday as violence escalated in the area. It termed the impact of the strike on its operations as "fairly direct and immediate."
"We work on a just in time (JIT) model and considering that no supply could reach the factory today, there is a chance we may not be able to begin operations tomorrow," said Shekhar Vishwanathan, Toyota Kirloskar vice chairman. He added that the strike last Friday did not impact the company as it had stock ahead of time, but if the violence continued unabated, the loss of production could be permanent.
Online grocery firm Bigbasket said that it has suffered Rs 4 crore in losses over two days after it was forced to shut down its office on Monday. "Now we have an order backlog of 20,000 to be delivered to the consumers. It will take 3 days to clear the backlog if we work on Wednesday. The packed fruits and vegetables will be spoilt," Bigbasket co-founder and CEO Hari Menon told TOI.
Bigbasket, which could not ship products from its collection centres in Bengaluru-Mysuru road, will now call customers and fix new time slots for delivery. Its second customer service centre in Pune is functioning at full strength and working overtime, Menon said. "We expect that it would not return to normal situation tomorrow either. However other city operations are not hit."
Online food portal FreshMenu, which prepares food in its own centralised kitchens, has not been able to deliver orders since Monday evening. Founder Rashmi Daga said the company could not open the kitchen on Tuesday morning and was not sure about delivery boys coming in. It lost a few thousand orders over the last two days.
Industry body Assocham estimated the riots and strike in Bengaluru have resulted in a loss of Rs 22,000 crore to Rs 25,000 crore with the disruption in productivity of businesses, movement of goods and transportation hassles.
"Violence in the state capital and other parts of Karnataka has severely dented the image of Bengaluru as the Silicon Valley of India, home to almost all the Fortune 500 companies," said Assocham, adding that the image that India built around Bengaluru is getting sullied.
E-commerce company Flipkart said packages originating from Bengaluru have been affected, however the situation is normal in other parts of the state. "As of today, we have stalled operations because the safety of our delivery staff remains our top priority. As we hope the situation to get better soon, we are trying to mitigate all customer impact by keeping them informed about expected delays," said Neeraj Aggarwal, head of supply chain operations at Flipkart. Its rival Amazon said impact in delivery was primarily in Bengaluru, Mysore and Mandya. "Given the situation in the city, there may be very limited impact in other regions, for orders serviced by our fulfilment centre in Bangalore."

176 – Underwater world!
Chapter 176: Underwater World!
"Breaking fist."
In order to appear greater and more powerful, Li Muyang roared at the top of his lungs.
But because he tried to speak, the water rushed into his mouth, causing him to gasp and splutter. He fought hard to resist the urge to inhale the water around him.
He punched out, but before his fist reached half way——
The toad ran.
The toad escaped.
When Li Muyang clenched his fist tight, gathering qi in his dantian, the boundless sea inside his body also followed rippling up and down. He prepared to throw out his most powerful attack——'The Art of the Breaking Body': 'Breaking Fist'.
What he didn't expect is that, with a long, swift stroke of its two back feet, the toad had already propelled dozens of meters away.
Nowadays, even a toad has no integrity?
Are you worthy of your renowned reputation? Are you worthy of your great age, having lived to thousands of years?
Before I make a move, you ran away——Don't tell me you're a paper tiger?
However, when standing ashore, Li Muyang saw everything very clearly. The blast of cold air from its mouth turned everything into ice, changed the surroundings and instantaneously lowered the temperature to freezing temperatures. Adding to this, its flesh and skin is strong and tough. It was so tough that a sword almost could not puncture through.
Even with Lin Canghai's impressive sword skills, he couldn't kill it. And, despite diving into the water several times already, Chu Xun was chased around and eventually fled in panic.
It was such a tough creature, why would it lack courage and run away from him?
Li Muyang grew even more angry.
He felt insulted.
"It must have known that I'm weak and have no destructive power. It wanted to play around with me before eating me——Back then, my classmates were also like that——"
Thinking of the classmates who bullied him made Li Muyang detest the toad even more. He felt that it's the same trash as they are.
It's fine that his classmates bullied me, but even a toad dares to bully me?
This was unforgivable.
Li Muyang circled twice around the pond, until he realised the toad had escaped without trace. Then an overwhelming urge to drag out the toad to kill came over him
While thinking, he moved his hands, lurching upward to the surface.
He needed to escape!
A toad knows to run for its life, was he inferior to a toad?
He only swam a few meters, when he noticed a current of water rising behind him.
The rumbling water gushed towards over him, without applying any force, the powerful water carried him forward.
"This is pretty good——" Li Muyang thought.
When the mighty water pushes me onto the surface, I will leap to the shore and yell: 'Qiandu help'. At that moment, Qiandu and Lin Canghai will attack. Surely, at that time, he can escape this calamity——
Chu Xun would probably not lend a hand.
A black wall appeared in front of him.
Li Muyang knocked against the soft wall without feeling any painful sensation. Instead the texture and feel felt pretty good.
He reached out his hand, his fingers touched something slippery, soft and bone-piercing cold——
Li Muyang lifted his head. The giant toad over several meters tall looked him up and down with its three eyes.
Somehow it suddenly appeared in front, blocking Li Muyang's route of escape.
Fierce, brutal and with a trace of confusion on its face.
The three-eye ice toad has lived for thousand years, gained a lot of wisdom over the years. It was beginning to understand human nature.
Not only could it sense the power within Li Muyang's body, it could smell the dangerous aura emitted from Li Muyang.
However, this feeling was intermittent and not vivid at all.
Therefore, it could not come to a decision whether to eat Li Muyang or whether it would be better to abandon this prey.
Its intelligence is not high. It subconsciously thinks that it shouldn't let Li Muyang off so easily.
So, when Li Muyang threw out his fist, it ran far away.
When Li Muyang wanted to flee, it used its frightening swimming ability to chase and intercept him.
No matter what, he must control Li Muyang, like he was within in his own palm.
The toad's mouth opened, and foam and bubbles began uncontrollably dripping out at the sides. Because of the close distance, although Li Muyang just adapted to the water temperature, he felt cold again.
Li Muyang ground his teeth, clenched his jaw tight and punched out at the round belly.
He slammed his fist against the thick flesh, making a crisp, loud sound.
Li Muyang slowly pulled back his hand, only to discover his clenched fist was stuck in it's belly fat, and no matter how hard, he could not yank his hand out.
The fat on the toad's stomach suddenly stretched.
Then, Li Muyang felt a tremendous force thrusting his body towards the depths of the cold lake.
The three-eyed ice toad let out an unusual cry, before aggressively darting towards Li Muyang.
Because he was hit in his abdomen and the toad was trailing closely behind, unwilling to let him go, Li Muyang could not turn around.
So, he desperately swam down.
He swam without stopping.
The lake was bottomless, the lower he went, the darker it became.
Li Muyang thought to himself: could it be that how tall Broken Mountain is, then that's also how deep the lake is, and it directly connects to an unknown underground world——
What he does not know is that, right now, the depth he dived to already exceeded the distance that ordinary human have ever reached.
Even Chu Xun and Lin Canghai, who have jumped several times into the lake, did not have the courage to come here and simply searched around in the shallow waters before returning.
There was only one very important thing that Li Muyang neglected. He has been in the water for quite some time now but did not have the chance to come to the surface for a breath of air, and adding to this, just now when he yelled 'breaking fist', water rushed into his mouth.
However, even now, he did not feel any breathing difficulty. As though he can breathe freely underwater, or he simply does not need to breathe at all.
An ability like that, even the Starry Sky teachers may not necessarily be able to do.
The inky-underwater world severely impairs normal people's vision. Extraordinary people like Lin Canghai and Chu Xun also become blind under the lake.
Not only could Li Muyang see in the underwater world, he could stay for extended periods underwater, and his vision improved and the distance he could see was further than before.
He could see clearly that the cold lake is funnel-shaped, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
When he swam from the wide head to the bottom, the space to move about freely also lessened.
Two huge craggy rocks sitting opposite each other formed a door frame, leaving a small gap in the middle that only one person can squeeze through at a time.
Seeing that Li Muyang dared to swim towards the small doorway, the three-eyed ice toad grew anxious.
Like it's his treasure trove or it was guarding some kind of secret.
It swam with long, rapid strokes of its four legs, generating rumbling waves behind, as it opened its giant mouth, darting through the water towards Li Muyang.
Li Muyang cast a glance behind him, and all he could see was the toad's tongue trying to wrap around him. He struggled more frantically to flee.
Using both his hands and feet, wheezing and crouching, he took a step into the small, cramped hole.
His fingertips brushed against the pointy wall, and then, suddenly his head plunged into the depths of the abyss.
The toad behind has already caught up, its tongue like an infinite stretch of rope demanding his life.
It curled around Li Muyang's body, the mucus secreted from the tongue helping it to tighten its grip on him.
Li Muyang fumbled around until he found a short-handled knife, and then slashed through the lake, cutting the giant tongue.
"Croak——" Toad cried miserably aloud, desperately trying to retrieve its tongue.
Escaping from the constriction, Li Muyang squeezed his body through the small doorway on the stone cliff and swam towards the funnel-shaped bottom.
His body scraped the rocks as his body tumbled to the ground.
He reached out with both his hands. The ground was dry.
That cold lake disappeared, the frozen water vanished and the toad that chased him was gone.
He came to an even more unfamiliar, unpredictable world.

Vordel SOAPbox allows developers to test the performance, scalability, and security of Web Services. Using SOAPbox, a developer can test how Web Services perform under load, how they deal with unexpected input, and what their traffic ceiling is.
Vordel SOAPbox highlights security tokens, XML Signatures, and encrypted content in XML documents. SOAPbox supports established security technologies such as SSL and HTTP-Auth, as well as next-generation security technologies such as WS-Security and SAML.
My team has been using this tool for quite some time...and it was worth the money.
But now it is free. Just input your e-mail...and download.Vordel has made an attempt to block the use of free e-mail accounts (i.e. Mailinator) but they forgot to include the alternative mailinator domains, like sogetthis.com ;)

Computer languages typically employ either prefix, infix, or postfix notation
to capture the idea of applying an operator to arguments. For example,
Postscript and Hewlett-Packard calculators use postfix notation. Most programing
languages and computer algebra systems use the infix notation we are accustomed
to seeing in print. However, the computer language LISP uses prefix notation,
which also corresponds more closely to many natural language constructions like
"f of x" and "subtract 5 from 8". For this and other
reasons, MathML content mark-up also uses prefix notation.
A pleasant consequence of using prefix notation is that parentheses are no
longer necessary. Using infix notation, we must use parentheses to distinguish (x
- y) / 2 from x - (y / 2). However, in MathML, the order of
operations is clear from the prefix notation, so parentheses aren't necessary.
<apply> <apply>
<divide/> <minus/>
<apply> <ci>x</ci>
<minus/> <apply>
<ci>x</ci> vs. <divide/>
<ci>y</ci> <ci>y</ci>
</apply> <cn>2</cn>
<cn>2</cn> </apply>
</apply> </apply>
<apply> <apply>
<divide/> <minus/>
<apply> <ci>x</ci>
<minus/> <apply>
<ci>x</ci> vs. <divide/>
<ci>y</ci> <ci>y</ci>
</apply> <cn>2</cn>
<cn>2</cn> </apply>
</apply> </apply>
This example also introduces the fundamental apply element. The huge
majority of content elements represent either operators or mathematical data
types, and it is the apply element's job to group operators with
arguments. The apply element expects an operator schema as it first
child, and interprets the remaining children as the arguments of that operator.
Most MathML operators and functions are represented by empty elements like <cos/>
and <intersect/>. However, expressions such as <apply><compose/><ci>f</ci><ci>g</ci></apply>
can also be used as operators.
The examples also illustrate the use of content mark-up's only token
elements, ci and cn. These elements represent identifiers and
numbers, respectively. Since functions and operators are represented by
elements, no "co" element is needed. However there is a csymbol
token for less-common symbols and operators with a well-defined mathematical
usage, but for which there are no pre-defined content MathML elements.
In MathML, an identifier is any kind of name or label. In content
mark-up, this usually means things such as variables and function names. A type
attribute on the ci element can be used to specify the type of object
which an identifier represents.
The cn element is primarily designed to mark-up integers, rational,
real or complex numbers. However, any kind of character data is permitted in the
cn tag, so it is possible to mark-up expressions like <cn>xii</cn>.
The type attribute specifies what kind of number the element encodes.
Similarly, the base attribute can be used to specify that the encoding is
to a base other than 10, such as octal or hexadecimal.
Token elements represent identifiers and numbers. Of course, an identifier
can refer to any kind of mathematical object, but in the case of common objects
like vectors and sets, it would be nice to directly encode the structure of the
object as well as its name. For this, new elements are needed to represent other
kinds of mathematical objects and data types.
MathML uses container elements to represent basic mathematical
objects and data types. In general, container elements represent things like
sets which are constructed out of other data. The main examples are sets,
intervals, vectors, and matrices.
<reln> <eq/>
<bvar> <ci>x</ci> </bvar>
<reln> <geq/><ci>x</ci><cn>0</cn> </reln>
<interval closure='closed-open'>
<reln> <eq/>
<vector> <cn>1 </cn> <cn>2 </cn>
<matrixrow> <cn>0 </cn> <cn>1 </cn> </matrixrow>
<matrixrow> <cn>1 </cn> <cn>0 </cn> </matrixrow>
<apply> <transpose/>
<vector> <cn>2 </cn> <cn>1 </cn>
There are about 90 empty operator elements in content markup, which
represent commonly-used functions and operators. They are grouped into broad
categories: arthimetic, algebra, logic, calculus, set theory, and so on. To see
the full list, take a look at the summary of Content
Recall that because of MathML's prefix notation, there is
basically no difference between functions and operators; in common usage, we
tend to call operators which are traditionally written with prefix notation
"functions," like sin x. But from the point of view of MathML,
they are both operators which may be applied to arguments.
Note that the parentheses around the x do not explicitly appear in the
MathML mark-up; a renderer like WebEQ would typically use some kind of heuristic
for deciding when parentheses are visually appropriate, but they are superfluous
from the point of view of capturing the meaning of the expression.
Operators and functions are both applied to arguments using the apply
element. MathML does single out relations from other functions and operators,
even though they could be viewed a functions which return truth values. Examples
of relations are eq, leq, and subset. They are applied to
arguments using the reln element much as operators are applied to
arguments using the apply element.
<reln> <eq/>
A handful of operators are meant to be used in conjunction with qualifier
elements. For example, qualifier elements are used to specify the limits for the
integral operator.
The most obvious group of qualifier elements are those used with the
int, sum, and prod elements. All three of these operators
have a notion of a lower limit, an upper limit, and a bound variable. In MathML,
qualifiers are used to specify these additional parameters, as is illustrated in
this example:
<bvar> <ci>n</ci> </bvar>
<lowlimit> <cn>0</cn> </lowlimit>
<uplimit> <ci>&infty;</ci> </uplimit>
Another important idiom involving qualifiers comes up with the differential
operators diff and partialdiff. The order of a derivate can be
specified using the degree element together with a bvar:
<degree> <cn>3</cn> </degree>
<apply><fn> f </fn>
<ci> x </ci>
Qualifier elements are examples of MathML idioms. Math is full of
examples of specialized and exceptional notation. Here and there, MathML has had
to adopt a few specialized constructions, like qualifiers, to deal with them.
One such idiom is the use of the condition element to specify the
elements of a set:
<bvar> <ci>x</ci> </bvar>
<bvar> <ci>y</ci> </bvar>
<apply> <and/>
<reln> <lt/> <ci>0</ci> <ci>x</ci> <ci>1</ci> </reln>
<reln> <leq/><ci>3</ci> <ci>y</ci> <ci>10</ci> </e>
Some other less common idioms involve using lambda expressions in
function declarations, and using quantifiers with log and limit.
The last important thing we need to look at is the semantics element.
Content mark-up has two drawbacks: it doesn't include everything you might need,
and it doesn't always display the way you would like. The semantics
element addresses both of these problems.
When you use content markup, you have to trust a renderer like WebEQ to put
your expression on the screen in a reasonable way. Inevitably, this causes
problems -- you want to use prime notation for derivatives, like f'(x),
while WebEQ renders this as df/dx, and so on.
To remedy this, you can use the semantics element to specify both the
presentation mark-up and content mark-up for an expression separately.
<msup> <mi>f</mi> <mi>′</mi> </msup>
<mi>(</mi> <mi>x</mi> <mi>)</mi>
<apply> <diff/>
It is also possible to use the semantics tag to extend MathML. The special annotation
element can serve as a wrapper for any kind of semantic information, such as
computer algebra input or links to other references. By binding an annotation
together with a MathML expression, one can send additional information along for
the ride, and specialized renderers that understand it can take advantage of it.
<bvar> <ci>x</ci> </bvar>
<bvar> <ci>y</ci> </bvar>
<bvar> <ci>z</ci> </bvar>
<reln> <eq/>
<apply> <plus/>
<apply> <power/> <ci>x</ci> <ci>2</ci> </apply>
<apply> <power/> <ci>y</ci> <ci>2</ci> </apply>
<apply> <power/> <ci>z</ci> <ci>2</ci> </apply>
<annotation encoding='oogl'>
0 0 0
The "oogl" annotation in the example above allows an application
that uses the Object Oriented Graphics Library to draw a three-dimensional
representation of the surface described by the equation, a sphere with radius
one centered at the origin.
Here are the main points from this section:
Congratulations! You have now covered the MathML fundamentals, and it is time
to put your knowledge to work. A good way to get started is to is to download a
copy of WebEQ and start putting math on the Web. You can download a free, 30-day

Riding and Community… stay with me for a few minutes?Posted by MTorok in Community Vibe on Sep 28, 2011 3:12:00 PM
While I don't really want to lapse into a long personal metaphor, I was struck with a strange cool parallel this morning as I sat in my car and watched the motorcycle riders shoot past in the opposing lane. Motorcyclists have an interesting code. You ride; you wave; you're a member. When I first started riding, it was one of the most inviting and hidden benefits that I found. It is obvious that there is a freedom you gain by the lack of metal around you. You gain a freedom, coupled with a sense of exposure. But, you also join a family. And, yes, there are people who play better than others… there are some riders that only greet people on certain bikes, but there are the rest of us, the majority, that don't care if you're on a Suzuki, a Triumph, a Ducati, a Harley, a Honda, a Buell… whatever. You are on two wheels. You are one of us. We are a family.
When I see the incredible activity, the flurry of posts and replies, the content that gets shared, the scripts people provide each other, it is the same exact feeling. I know there are people who are more comfortable hanging out quietly in the background, certainly feel free, and there are members who never post, but there are also those members who share knowledge, post answers, reach out to folks who are struggling – they wave to one another all the time. Often you organize your own poker runs to support each other… I mean, what else can you call this post in TIPS & TRICKS: Stop the madness! Avoiding alerts but continuing to pull statistics., other than a big thank you and give back?
We all get into tight spots. Like all the riders I know, I've hit the ground. I've been rather lucky and, so far, only have a couple scars and something to blame my future arthritis on. One of the most amazing things that happened when I found myself along the side of the road was the number of people who stopped as I waited for a tow. Motorcyclist, car drivers, truck drivers… almost every one of them starting with, "Are you okay?" and ending with telling me about when they dropped their own bike. Everyone who stopped offered help. I see this same thing here in the SolarWinds community. Sometimes the bike gives out unexpectedly; sometimes you forget to turn the petcock on; sometimes you just can't figure out why the silly lights stay on. But someone out there has been there. They've seen the same issue. They have a workaround. They have a friendly reminder about giving SQL Server more gas or tuning the engine. They stop to help.
I guess, in the long run, all I'm saying is that it is a great feeling to be a part of this community. I appreciate the feedback, positive and negative about your experiences here, and I want you to know that my ears are open and my voice is yours here in SolarWinds.
Please keep waving…

Freddie Mercury's Rolls-Royce Up for Auction
Freddie Mercury, aka god-with-a-mustache, was one of the greatest rock and roll legends known to man (if you didn't already know that). The Queen lead singer had a relatively short yet successful run in the music industry before his untimely death in 1991. Thankfully, in that time, Freddie had enough juice in him to kick out some classic rock and roll hits, and even scored himself a 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, courtesy of managing company Goose Productions Ltd. At the time, this Rolls cost only £11,000 ($17,000), by the way. Since then, the car has been kept in pristine condition until its last use in a snug role in the 2002 production of Queens' musical "We Will Rock You." Now, the classic Rolls is up on the block in the UK's COYS auction come January 13th. Officials expect the ride to bring in a mere £9,000-£11,000 ($14,000-$17,000). So much for the celebrity bump.

US President Barack Obama has implicitly criticised FBI director James Comey over the new inquiry into Hillary Clinton's email use.
He said US investigations should not operate on the basis of "innuendo" or "incomplete information".
According to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, FBI Director James Comey reopened the agency's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails last week because almost 100 agents threatened to resign before next week's election.
Comey has faced a fierce backlash for announcing the move to investigate new emails that may be linked to its probe into Clinton's private email server.

I am officially coming off of my holiday high. My mom and Bob (the last of our visitors) left this morning. I have so much to share. We had a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful week following with BeLLa and GrandBob.
Let's start with Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Christmas Eve was a little touch and go if I'm being honest. The turning point was when I came home from running a few last minute errands and found Sawyer in the closet playing with things he shouldn't have seen until Christmas morning, if you get my drift. The boys were just out of sorts - both had colds, were tired, etc. The rest of the evening included some biting, some discipline, new Christmas jams getting peed on, etc., etc. It was eventful; allthought the pictures below tell a different story. Keith and I went to bed late that night laughing at how hysterical the entire day had been. And both commenting that we know someday we'll miss these days of having little bitties.
But Christmas day was the opposite. It was slow and relaxing and cozy. And all I hoped it would be.
Decorating cookies for Santa. Sure hope Santa likes sprinkles.
fried turkey with yummy sides for Christmas Eve dinner.
Opening gifts from their aunts and uncles on Christmas Eve. My boys are so blessed with awesome aunts and uncles.
Putting the special Santa key out.
Putting out cookies for Santa...and eating some too.
Christmas morning -- Ready to run into the den and see what Santa left.
Saw helping daddy open his gifts. He is such a little helper. You guys should have seen him helping take down the decorations. It was the cutest thing. He kept saying "need some help with that" "good job mommy" "here, let me help you". Precious, precious.
Christmas morning family photo.
Cooper getting some special loving. Graham is pretty much obsessed with dogs.
Spent the afternoon playing....
We ended Christmas night by baking a birthday cake for Jesus.
It truly was a MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Online Player Signup
Registered Dragonflight GameCon attendees will be able to sign up to play games in advance of the convention. This functionality will go live on July 1st!
In Tabletop.Events a seat in a game is referred to as a ticket. Some tournaments require an extra fee to participate but for the majority of the games happening at Dragonflight GameCon tickets are free. In order to give everyone a fair shot at getting in to the games they most want to play we ask that you limit your pre-registrations to four games as has been the tradition for Dragonflight GameCon.
If you haven't done so already, you can register for the convention at Tabletop.Events and sign up to play as soon as we open game sign ups! We will be closing online player signups shortly before the convention in order to allow us to prepare the on-site sign-up sheets.
Game Signup at the Convention
After the online player signup period is over, your next opportunity to sign up for games is at the convention. We reserve 25% of each game's slots for in-person player sign up at the convention. When you arrive at the convention, every game more than a few hours away still has available seats.
At the convention, Dragonflight GameCon staff will post paper sign up sheets in each gaming area a few hours before each Time Block. Attendees can sign up for any empty slots in those games. Remember that there are also games in the printed schedule which do not need sign up and will not have sign up sheets. Do not sign up for multiple games in the same time slot. Do not leave games early. If you must leave, please coordinate this with the game host as early as possible, to minimize disruptions.
I am So Late! Can I Play Games at the Con? Yes. We withhold 25% of all game seats to ensure adequate space for late convention registrations. Head over to the area you want to play (RPGs, Board Games, etc.) and find the paper sign up sheet for the game you would like to play. Sign up on one of the blank lines. If it's full, and shows "alternates" or a "wait list", you can put your name there. This way, if someone doesn't show up, you can get in (in order of the wait list).
Can I Submit a Game At The Con? Yes. Just find the appropriate Area Event Coordinator or other Dragonflight GameCon staff, fill out a blank event signup sheet, and place it in the appropriate area so fellow attendees can sign up for your game. This is of course based on availability of table space; the Area Event Coordinator will be glad to help you. The Area Event Coordinator has the final word on available space. There are also open gaming tables available to throw together a last minute game.
Can I Change My Signups? Yes. Locate the sign-up sheet for the game you no longer want to play; cross out your name and initial the change. Then locate the sign-up sheet for the game you DO want to play and add your name to the list of players.
Happy Gaming!
