Lewis will serve as defensive coordinator for the AFC under head coach Peyton Manning, while Flores will serve as offensive coordinator.

"Bringing together an extraordinary coaching staff that combines NFL Legends who have years of Pro Bowl experience with Flag football champions who are the best in the world will ensure this first-ever Pro Bowl Games is incredibly exciting, competitive and entertaining", said Peter O'Reilly, Executive Vice President of Club Business and League Events.

Having these elite Women's Flag football players from the U.S. and Mexico as counterparts to Peyton and Eli Manning, Ray Lewis, and Demarcus Ware underscores the global growth of Flag football among women and men."

Architecture is the planning, design and project management of the creation of buildings. It is a collaborative field and requires close work with clients, urban and regional planners, engineers, developers and team members assisting with projects.
Architects are licensed professionals. Designers are not licensed, but often work in firms with architects to assist with projects. Architects spend most of their days developing proposals, producing drawings, managing active projects and specifications, and visiting work sites.
After earning a bachelor's in architecture, many go on to earn a master's degree in the field which can take up to three additional years. In order to receive professional licensure, architects must pass the Architect Registration Examination. Prior to completing the exam, architects must complete internship and work experience requirements.
You can learn more about this field in the Firsthand Guide to Architecture Jobs.
Students who are interested in pursuing careers in architecture or design can apply to internships or jobs at architecture or engineering firms, or other companies that perform design work. Students can begin to gain experience during their time at Princeton by building an independent project portfolio and working with student groups or through volunteer opportunities. It is not unusual for students to apply to Master of Architecture graduate programs before seeking professional experience.
Summer internship recruitment at architecture firms tends to begin in late winter/early spring. Recruitment for summer design intern roles in other settings varies and could start as early as the fall if it is a more structured program with an incoming intern class.
Full-time positions are generally posted when the role is available and ready to be filled. As with many career interest areas, networking with alumni in architecture roles can be helpful to understand more about each firm as well as additional experience that may be valuable to be a competitive candidate in the process.

Ingolstadt, April 10, 2020
Audi factory driver Mike Rockenfeller has initiated a virtual racing series under the motto #RaceHome, which will be held on the PlayStation 4 with the fully-electric Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo.
The proceeds will be used for a good cause. Once a week, fans of the Audi brand and SimRacing professionals will be competing against the six Audi DTM drivers: Loïc Duval, Jamie Green, Nico Müller, Robin Frijns, René Rast and Mike Rockenfeller.
"Since there are no real races happening at the moment, SimRacing is experiencing an incredible boom," says the 2013 DTM champion. "We are deliberately going our own way:
#RaceHome is focusing on sports cars with electric drive and is therefore in line with Audi's focus topic in the change of mobility. We have decided on a console game because we can reach a particularly large community in this way." PlayStation Network members have the opportunity to compete against the Audi DTM stars on #RaceHome.
They can win a spot on the grid each week by developing and publishing a design for the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo in conjunction with #AudiTogether and #WeStayHome. The most creative design will win. The jury consists of the six Audi DTM drivers.
All of the races of the #RaceHome charity racing series can be seen on the free live streaming channel at www.twitch.tv/visionrcco. The first race is on Tuesday, 21 April at 8 p.m. (CEST).

When you feel stressed, do you find it hard to focus and concentrate? Do you find you are easily distracted and more forgetful? Do you find yourself rushing around, moving from one thing to next and finding that no matter what you do, your to-do list isn't shrinking? It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you have a lot on your mind. Intense emotions can interfere with our ability to focus and problem-solve. It can be difficult to know what to prioritise and how best to manage. This in turn can increase our stress.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is about being present and attentive to this very moment. When we are stressed, we are usually concerned about upcoming or ongoing events or situations. In doing this, we often miss out on the present moment. Have you ever found yourself in a meeting, distracted by your thoughts about an upcoming deadline or presentation, only to find at the end of the meeting you've paid no attention to what was said and what actions you are supposed to take? How do you end up feeling after? More stressed, right? This is a vicious cycle we can easily fall into. When we are preoccupied with our thoughts, we don't fully focus or concentrate on what we're currently doing. My clients often tell me they are concerned about their memory but the problem is often with focus and concentration rather than memory. We can't remember things we haven't paid attention to in the first place!
How can Mindfulness Help with Stress?
Practicing mindfulness involves noticing our thoughts, feelings and experiences as they arise and gently bringing our attention back to whatever we are doing in that moment. It involves practicing an attitude of acceptance, kindness and curiosity, regardless of whether our observations are positive, negative or neutral. In our fast-paced lives, we can often function on autopilot. Mindfulness helps us bring more awareness to our experiences and actions. When we are stressed, we can tend to focus on negatives and become self-critical. Mindfulness can help us notice this through the observation of these thoughts as they arise. As soon as we are aware of something, we are in a stronger position to make changes. Mindfulness can help you to notice and reassess your situation to support you to feel less stressed about it.
Everyday Moments of Mindfulness
Every moment in our day can be an opportunity to be mindful. Here are three ideas you may like to try out:
- Taking a moment to pause and focus on your breathing, noticing the sensation of this and how it feels to pause and breathe.
- Actively listening to others when they are talking and paying full attention to what they are saying. Your mind will drift at times, that's normal! When it does, notice this and try refocusing away from your thoughts and back to the conversation.
- Making a cup of tea, watching the steam rise, noticing the change in colour as it brews, smelling the aroma, feeling the temperature of the mug as you hold it, noticing the experience of your first sip.
If you have an interest or hobby, this can be also a great opportunity to practice mindfulness. By doing this, you'll be allowing yourself to pay even fuller attention so something you already enjoy. For example, if you enjoy walking, try taking a new route and pay attention to what you can see and hear. Notice the change in scenery, different colours, smells, sights and sounds.
If you're not quite sure how to get started, there are apps, such as Headspace, that offer guided mindfulness practices.
Mindfulness and CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a psychological therapy that helps us make changes to the way we think and behave in order to improve the way we feel emotionally. Mindfulness is often used with CBT to help manage stress by combining meditation and breathing techniques with exercises that increase awareness of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Once we have a good awareness and understanding of these unhelpful patterns, we are able to make positive changes to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. Find out more here.

40 Clever Products That Save You A Ton Of Time And Money

If you're wondering where to start on this smart shopping trip, here's one easy way to begin: Swap your single-use items for reusable versions to save money over time.

Mr Clownfish, Miss Anemone and the Hermit Crab
Sean E. Avery
Walker, 2023
32pp., hbk., RRP $A25.99
In the ocean there is no closer friendship than that between Mr Clownfish and Miss Anemone. She protects him with her stinging tentacles if a big fish threatens him, and he protects her from other fish, cleans her tentacles twice a day and finds delicious small morsels of food they eat together, although Miss Anemone does get lonely when he swims off because she is tethered to the side of a large rock. They are each other's heroes,
On Miss Anemone's birthday, Mr Clownfish gives her a hermit crab as a present and then goes in search of something special for their birthday tea. But when he returns, Miss Anemone has disappeared! Convinced she has been kidnapped he follows the tracks in the sand and finds Miss Anemone riding on Hermit Crab's back delighted in being able to explore the ocean at last. Mr Clownfish is devastated, convinced he is no longer needed. But he has a very important lesson to learn about friendship…
For those who have seen Finding Nemo (and this is a good reason to show it again), the fun and friendships of the cheeky clownfish will be well-known as will the diversity of life on the ocean floor that is so beautifully depicted in Avery's iconic, quirky illustrations, as Mr Clownfish delivers dinner in a scoop of seaweed rather like an underwater Uber Eats. Apart from being a most engaging story of a special friendship that opens opportunities to explore the symbiotic relationships of creatures, not just in the ocean, and their interdependence so they can survive. it also puts the intricacies of human friendship into the spotlight. Written for an age group that is just starting to build relationships beyond family ties, and often being very possessive of those, it raise questions about whether it is possible to have more than one special friend and how to respond if our special friend finds someone else. While they might not need their friends to protect them in the way that Mr Clownfish and Miss Anemone interact, what are the unique attributes of their friends and how do they enrich each other's lives?
As with Frank's Red Hat, shortlisted in the CBCA 2023 Book of the Year awards, Avery has offered our younger readers a most delightful read but with many more layers than meet the eye,

We are pleased to announce a minor update to vCloud Usage Meter 3.6.1 with UM 3.6.1 Hot Patch 2. If Usage Meter is currently not experiencing issues mentioned below, updating to this patch is not necessary.
Hot Patch 2 resolves issues that occur when generating reports in large setups and resolves issues in vCenter collections and metering vSAN and NSX. Hot Patch 2 can be applied in-place to existing 3.6.1 Usage Meter appliances and includes HP1 fixes. Information on HP1 can be found here.
vCloud Usage Meter Performance
In earlier releases of 3.6.x some performance issues were identified in larger deployment that would cause Usage Meter to fail usage collection or report generation. Typically, these were seen in the following situations:
- When generating usage reports
- When generating virtual machine history reports
- VC collection with large number of licenses
The errors can manifest themselves in several different ways. When generating usage reports, you may see high memory and/or CPU usage or errors such as out of memory errors, database shutting down, or emails showing the appliance has restarted. In the case of NSX collections, this error manifests itself with erroneous information in the UI or a timeout error in the logs. Although these errors are typically seen in larger scale environments, the root cause of these issues not directly related to infrastructure scale (i.e. vCenter count, VM count, etc.), but instead the number of events being generated – or churn in the metered infrastructure. In environments where there is a lot of churn such as starting and stopping machines, machine migrations, or adding and removing machines, enough events can be generated that can affect the size and performance of the database.
Usage Meter 3.6.1 Hot Patch 2 resolves these issues through optimizations which increase the number of events that can be processed and improves overall performance. Report generation time is now reduced and for large environments where reports previously failed to generate some reports may take up to twenty minutes.
You may review the release notes for more details and download UM HP2 here. Provide your feedback on this patch release either on the UM communities page or in the comments section below.

At present, the internet has our lives in its hands. Neither of us could imagine our daily routine work without the internet, whether it is about shopping, studying, entertainment, business, or any other need. We have become so reliant on the internet that we would not go a day without it. But hatching the best from the internet according to your needs requires a smart choice of internet plan that suits you the best in all ways.
Finding the right plan for yourself and deciding what's better could be a hectic task. Whenever you are about to buy a product or a food item you certainly compare its attributes with the other similar products before buying. The same strategy should be adopted before purchasing an internet plan for your home or business. There are several factors that should be compared before purchasing internet plans
This is the most essential factor to consider before choosing your internet plan. Double-check the availability of your desired network in your area and whether it supports full coverage in your area or not. High-speed cables, fiber connections, satellite internet such as HughesNet internet, MetroNet, Viasat, etc. might tempt the purchaser, but you should assure its availability esp. if you are in a rural area.
Bandwidth speed
Speed is the most crucial factor to be considered before making the buying decision of your internet plan. Everyone needs an uninterrupted connection for several devices with no wait time for uploading, downloading, streaming, etc. Choose wisely the bandwidth speed according to your genre as high speed may tempt everyone but can lead you to pay extra money for the bandwidth that you are not even using. With fast-speed internet, you can upload and download the data in the blink of eye.
Cost is an integral concern in the purchasing of internet deals. The charges of internet deal must be that should be according to purchaser pocket and need. It's very important to maintain a balance between price and speed. Some ISPs charge more for equipment, installation, maintenance, etc. but some of them provide discounts and promotion offers. If your internet audience is your employees at your business then you should opt for expensive and reliable plans but if you want general use then you should search for cost-effective and affordable plans.
Consistency in the performance of the internet is what makes it top-rated. None of us would ever want to suffer from an unreliable internet connection whether you are using it for streaming, gaming, social media, online business, or work and study from home. If you cannot in any case bear interruptions then you should look forward to ISPs that offer SLAs (Service License Agreements). SLAs are service contracts that state the level of reliability of your internet connection.
Latest innovations
Always look forward to what's new in the tech world. More and more businesses are looking forward to satellite internet such as HughesNet since it is available everywhere, has plans for all from 15GB to up to 100GB, offers fifth generation satellite internet, data-saving features, bonus zone, and much more.
Customer care
The trustworthy and professional customer support team depicts the company as caring about its users' needs and problems. The ISPs that place their customers at the top are the best to rely on. The customer care of internet providers should be active enough to solve queries without the hassle of waiting. Companies that provide 24/7 troubleshooting assistance are more recommended to go for than those companies that don't solve clients' internet issues on time.
Mobile App (bonus)
Nowadays most ISPs provide mobile apps to keep track of data used and left, maximize data usage, manage your account, pay bills, adjust the quality of live video streaming, check signal strength, etc. This all could be managed from a single app available in both iOS and Android from wherever you are.
The benefits you get from comparison before making a purchase decision are
- Getting a better idea of what's new in the market.
- Saving your time and money.
- Wide range of plans to opt from.
- Saving you from risks of bad service or signing up for expensive service without even knowing about the reasonable options.
- Getting a chance to know about attractive deals and discounts while comparison.
- Knowing about who is offering exceptional customer care.
- Get to know highly rated service providers in your region
- Select the best internet packages according to personal or business use
Wrapping up,
We could say that in either way comparing multiple internet plans before purchasing could save you from the inconvenience and other hassles. Moreover, comparing the performance of Internet Service Provider (ISP) leads in buying high-quality internet connection an affordable range.

Club América got their offseason/preseason off to a quick start as they signed a pair of Mexican defenders - 27-year old Luis Reyes from Atlas and 20 year-old Jorge Sánchez from Santos. The defenders, both of whom play as wingbacks, should help to strengthen one of the weaker positions in Miguel Herrera's squad from the previous tournament. These two players could allow for players like Edson Álvarez and Carlos Vargas to get more playing time in their natural central defensive positions.

Shortly after the signing of Luis Reyes, rumors began to swirl that las Águilas had secured the signing of Dutch international Luuk De Jong from PSV. Everything pointed towards the player signing for Club América. Representatives, including De Jong's father, visited Mexico City to meet with Club América officials about a potential move. In the end, however, the move fell apart and many fans of the Mexico City squad were left feeling a bit deceived about the whole busted transfer saga.
Perhaps the biggest piece of offseason news regarding Club América was the transfer of Brazilian attacking midfielder William Da Silva to Toluca during the Liga MX Draft. Da Silva had been one of América's best players since signing a three-year deal with the club in 2016.

Las Águilas officially kicked off their preseason friendlies with a matchup against Atlante in Cancún. The match which was played without head coach Miguel Herrera, who at the time was in Russia as part of Televisa's World Cup coverage, featured a mix of established first team players and youngsters in the starting lineup. In the end, las Águilas were triumphant against their Ascenso MX opposition.

Around this same time, rumors once again began to swirl about the possibility of Club América signing another big European player like Jérémy Ménez. Shortly after these rumors first began to sweep across social media, las Águilas announced the signing of 24 year-old Colombian striker Roger Martínez from Villarreal CF for an undisclosed fee. Previously the young Colombian attacker played for Racing Club of Argentina and Jiangsu Suning of the Chinese Super League.

Many fans reacted angrily to the news of Martinez's signing by Club América. For some, the anger was directed at the fact that Club América was signing another foreign attacking player instead of giving opportunities to a Mexican player like Henry Martin. Others felt as though they had been deceived - expecting an established European player as opposed to a young Colombian who had barely made an impact playing with Villarreal CF apart from one golazo against Real Madrid.
A week after their first preseason frieldly, las Águilas kicked of their Tour Aguila of the United States against defending Liga MX champions Santos Laguna at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. With Miguel Herrera back on the bench, a largely veteran Club América side easily dispatched Club Santos thanks to goals from Henry Martin, Cecilio Domínguez, and Jérémy Ménez.

Las Águilas then travelled down to McAllen, Texas to take on los Tuzos de Pachuca on the 4th of July. The match, which featured yet another heavily pro-América crowd was the most exciting of the preseason so far. The starting XI featured new signing Jorge Sancez as well as one player from the Fuerzas Basicas in an otherwise veteran squad. Two goals from Cecilio Domínguez and one from Fernando González were enough to propel Club América to their third straight preseason victory.

Las Águilas will now head to California to take on Monarcas and Atlas before rounding out their tour of the United States with a match against Manchester United at University of Pheonix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on July 19th. The matchup against Manchester United comes just three days before the start of the 2018 Apertura tournament.

Remembered for his brave character Allan Grant in the Jurassic Park saga, director Steven Spielberghe found that he is being treated for stage three blood cancer and wrote in his memoirs that he was "probably dying" diseases diagnosed a year ago.
This harsh discovery of Fr Your treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is included in the book Have I ever told you this? (Have I ever told you that?) of his authorship and which will be published next week.
In his first chapter, Written during chemotherapy, Neill declares: "The thing is: I'm sick. Possible dying. I might have to speed this up."
The actor explained to the newspaper Guard that the disease is now in remission, but that he will have to continue chemotherapy for life. "I cannot hide that the past year did not have its dark moments", He said.
But these dark moments they shed light on clear relief and make me grateful for each day and for all my friends. just happy to be alive", he added.
Likewise, the actor used social network Instagram to appease his followers: "Hello, I'm Sam Neal! Some kind of actor, winegrower and author", he wrote. "As you can see, I am alive and well, I have been in remission for eight months, which is a very good feeling.".
"I am very happy to return to work. We started shooting in seven days because I do something called apples never fall with Annette Bening and a really wonderful cast."
Neill's long career began in the 1970s and included dozens of roles in film and television, including the one in the series Pointed glasses or an award-winning film Piano.

The fastest guns in the west have got the shakes!
High Noon (H I G H N O O N) is sort of a mutant of the classic "who can hit a button the fastest" cowboy duel game.
Instead of just pressing the button you must release the button when the white line is in the green line in a powerbar thingy.
- press and hold either X or O,
- release when the white line is in the green bar
- the green bar gets bigger each time you hit the top of the power bar
- games go until someone gets 6 points.
- if you draw before the signal you lose one point
- if you miss the green bar, you miss your shot and you become a sitting duck
- the computer player needs serious work but 2 player should work fine (let me know if it doesnt)
- computer player gets more accurate the higher your score
- cheesy looking tumble weeds included
originally this game was just a basic "who can hit the button fastest" type game but in changing it i have broken that functionality but plan on re-adding it, so the menu will have the option to select "simple mode"~
theres normal hit the button mode again. Some minor improvement to the CPU but this is still mostly designed to be played on a couch with another human while intoxicated
oh and you can customize your cowpokes outfit now and it will be saved to cart data
-death animations
-cpu player improvments
-better music/sound
-simple mode
-reset scores on game over
-the tumbleweed flies somethimes?
Hi @b0b89:
I'm confused as to the scoring.
I understand you release when the white bar touches the green and yes I get a point then, however, the game also says DRAW when it is clear my opponent in 1-player mode fired closer to the green line than I did.
Should not the player that releases closer to the green line be the victor, in this case my opponent ?
OK, @b0b89. You might have levels of play then. For some it's difficult to get the white line to stop right in the green area. I can do it about 10% of the time myself.
I suggest three levels.
EASY, 4x the green bar size.
Medium, 2x the green bar size.
Hard, 1x the green bar. (no change as you have it now)
The opponent you have can be the same and make deliberate errors based upon the score of the player just as you have now.
Thank you, thats good advice.
The idea was that the green bar gets bigger once the white line hits the top. So like if you can't make it stop in the green bar, you just hold the button down while the white line goes up and down a few times so it gets easier. I can do it first try about 25%-50% of the time. If I try to get it by releasing on the way back down the second time (when the green bar is 3x its starting size) I can do it quite reliably.
Basically the longer you take to shoot the easier it gets. You aren't really supposed to be able to just draw your gun and shoot unless you're really good.
I think I'll get rid of the CPUs bar altogether. I made 2 player first and just kinda wrote a hacky solution to have it shoot using what was already there for player 2. I'm really not satisfied with it, it shoots really fast and misses a lot right now.
Probably easier and more fun to just have it shoot after rnd(x) time and hit rnd(y) percent of the time or whatever.
It is an interesting idea to be honest, but the first green bar could use a bigger size. Without that the cpu match is basically, does it hit the green bar or can I just hold down the button until mine becomes green enough so i can surely hit. Without any expansion the green is really hard to hit (for me at least).
One idea that comes to my mind based on this is to give more shooting chances, we got a revolver let us empty that iron into the other if we miss. That would incentivise you to try to hit on the earliest bullet and not just 50-50 it to see if the opponents hit. A little delay between shots (like 0.1 or 2) and you got an interesting dueling game on hand even for the CPU-s as they have more bullets to try hit you with!
The graphics could use a little improvement but i know it's not in everyone's toolkit!
One other little idea that popped into my head is to have a little tense music before you can shoot and stop it on the beep sound so you have a cool build-up for the shooting anticipation!
When the player shoots the opponent, @b0b89, you might show the time it took the player to shoot based upon the flag that it is okay to - and the time they need to beat so they have some idea of what they are up against.
Obviously higher score means less of a time in the window where the player can shoot the opponent.

Former Rangers misfit Fabio Cardoso looks set to join current Portuguese league leaders Benfica in the summer, according to reports coming out of Portugal.
Having arrived in Scotland with a solid reputation, the 24-year-old centre half failed to make any sort of impact at Ibrox.
In the end Cardoso played only 18 times for Rangers after being signed by Pedro Caixinha from Vitória de Setúbal for £1.3 million back in June of 2017 on a three-year-deal.
Yet his appearances this season for Portuguese top-tier side CD Santa Clara have attracted the attention of the top clubs in his native country, with Benfica believed to be leading the chase for his signature.
The defender has six goals in 26 appearances this season, with the Lisbon side said to be readying a £1 million bid in the summer according to Lisbon paper The Correio da Manhã.
Porto are also said to be keen on him, but Cardoso would prefer a move back to Benfica, where he spent eight years in their youth set up.
Rangers came to an agreement to tear up the player's contract in July 2018.

Empowering Underserved Communities through Tech with Irma Olguin Jr.
Growing up in a farming and agriculture community, Irma Olguin Jr. never imagined a life and career in tech. Taking the PSAT as a sophomore and being offered a scholarship to attend college in Ohio completely changed the trajectory of Irma's life. Inspired by her own story of opportunity and life changing decisions, Irma has made it her life's work to positively affect and change the lives of people from underserved communities through tech with Bitwise Industries. The idea of Bitwise was hatched in 2012 over a Red Bull (hers) and a gin and tonic (his) with her then IP attorney, Jake Soberal. Fueled by a series of aha moments, they decided they were in a unique position to build such a mechanism for progress. At Bitwise, Irma oversees the screening and interviewing of all employment candidates and apprentices, including that of Bitwise Workforce Training and Bitwise Technology Services. Her goal is to ensure Bitwise always remains faithful to its mission of strengthening Fresno's tech industry and turning it into a driver of real economic progress. Previously, Irma created 59DaysOfCode, a competition highlighting and encouraging the Valley's tech industry. She co-founded Hashtag, an open co-workspace for designers and developers alike. She also co-founded Edit LLC to solve efficiency and data issues in the ag industry. Irma holds a degree in computer science and engineering from University of Toledo, Ohio and has been a contributing advisor on several community boards, including 59DaysOfCode, President's Advisory Board for California State University – Fresno, the American Red Cross (Central Valley Chapter), Kingsview Behavioral Health, and Youth Leadership Institute.

"Sometimes it's something as simple as a bus ticket that stands in the way of your next opportunity."
"The truth is that an average person, an average mind with an average skill, can make an above average contribution in the technology industry because of the state of the world. Because technology is the fastest growing industry on the planet, because it is pervasive and it shows up in all of the different places in our lives, you need talent, you need human capital to power that, to make that continue to grow and so there's space for all kinds of minds, and it doesn't just have to be the kid that got an 800 in math on his SATs,
"At the end of the day, all of these trappings and all the pretty words about what Bitwise is and does it all comes down to whether that person found a way to take advantage of the opportunity to change their own lives and then implicit in our culture is, did you take that and then use it to deliberately contribute to the success of somebody else?

Listen to These 5 Mutual Funds Are Betting Big on Defence Stocks
Given the strained relationship India shares with its two neighbours--China and Pakistan---and the chances of any possible aggression in the future amidst escalating geopolitical tensions, defence as a sector plays a crucial role.
For years, India has heavily depended on Russia for defence supplies and technology transfers. However, given that Russia is facing a huge setback with global sanctions imposed (due to its invasion of Ukraine), overreliance on the old ally could prove costly for India.
Thankfully, the central government has taken proactive steps to make India Atmanirbhar or self-reliant in the defence sector in the past few years. And in view of the escalating geopolitical tensions after the Russia-Ukraine war, it appears that this drive for Atmanirbharta or self-reliance is likely to continue and accelerate further.
The geopolitical situation isn't getting better, the Ukraine-Russia war continues. And recently, after the sinking of its naval ship, Moskva, in the Ukraine war, the Russian state television saying, presenter Olga Skabeyeva made the chilling statement, "what it's escalated into can safely be called World War III."
The aforesaid backdrop has brightened the prospects for defence as a sector back home. Let's see how bullish mutual funds are on some of the listed defence sector companies.
According to the latest shareholding pattern of listed defence sector companies, MTAR Technologies, Bharat Electronics, BEML, Bharat Forge, Mishra Dhatu, Bharat Dynamics, and Hindustan Aeronautics are among the favourites of the Indian mutual fund industry.
Table 1: Which are the favourite defence stocks of mutual funds?
Furthermore, the IPO-bound LIC holds an 8.63% share in Hindustan Aeronautics, 6.25% in Bharat Dynamics, and 1.28% in Bharat Electronics as of Q4FY22.
The analysis of the portfolios of all diversified equity mutual fund schemes reveals many of them are betting big on the defence sector.
We found that 120 diversified equity funds held at least one defence sector company in their portfolios. However, only 9 of them had an exposure of more than 5%, while in all, the portfolios of 63 schemes had an exposure of 2% or less.
Interestingly, the majority of schemes having more than 5% exposure to defence companies were among Value Funds, Midcap Funds, and Focused Funds.
The likely reason for Value Funds, along with some Dividend Yield Funds having high exposure to defence stocks could be the dominance of PSUs in the defence sector.
The average single stock exposure has been 1.4%, with a maximum exposure of 4.4%. This goes to show that most of the diversified equity mutual fund schemes have been holding defence sector stocks as part of their satellite holdings and hoping to encash the possible re-rating of the sector.
At a fund house level, HDFC Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, and Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund have the highest exposure to defence stocks, going by the portfolio holdings of diversified schemes.
Table 2: Top 5 diversified equity schemes with high exposure to defence stocks
Here are 5 mutual fund schemes with high exposure to defence stocks...
Scheme #1: HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund
Launched on 25th June 2007, HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund aims to provide long-term capital appreciation/income by investing predominantly in midcap companies.
As of 31st March 2022, the weightage of equity assets in its portfolio is 96.2%, with a total of 65 stocks.

The Outlook for the Defence sector in India
The Defence Production & Export Promotion Policy (DPEPP) 2020 envisions the Indian defence sector to achieve a dual objective of self-reliance and exports through Public-Private Partnership (PPP).
Broadly, the goals of DPEPP 2020 are:
Develop a globally competitive defence industry catering across the value chain
Promote import substitution by taking initiatives through domestic design and development
Encourage R&D and IP ownership
Achieve a turnover of USD 25 billion (bn) in defence manufacturing and services which includes exports of USD 5 bn by 2025
The Indian government is likely to spend a massive USD 130 bn over the next 7-8 years on the modernization of arm forces. As part of that, Budget 2022-23 has allocated Rs 3.85 trillion to defence, and 68% of capital procurements will be met through domestic supplies. This may give a big boost to the indigenisation of defence procurement.
Moreover, 25% of the defence R&D budget will be allocated to industry, start-ups and academia.
Recently, the government released the third positive indigenisation list of 101 defence platforms and equipment. With this, 310 platforms and equipment are now on the list of import embargos. This is in line with India's long-term vision for the defence sector.
Diversified equity mutual funds are one of the best ways to benefit from India's growth story. However, ensure that you select the best and the most suitable mutual fund schemes for your portfolio.
Happy Investing!

The Biden Department of Justice is making the politically risky move of appealing a Florida judge's decision that the CDC's mask mandate has to end. On Monday, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the requirement that people wear masks on airplanes and public transit. This led to many people rejoicing and shedding their masks while concerning others about becoming more susceptible to catching COVID. The CDC said, "CDC will continue to monitor public health conditions to determine whether such an order remains necessary. CDC believes this is a lawful order, well within CDC's legal authority to protect public health." Regardless of whether appealing the strike down makes sense from a public health standpoint, it could be risky for Biden and the Democrats to try to put these rules back in place so close to the midterms, especially when, for many, pandemic fatigue has set in and they don't want to deal with the mandates anymore.

One of the most effective ways to clean out a clogged toilet pipe is with a plunger. Plungers can be used to create suction, which can help to dislodge any blockages in the pipes. If a plunger is not available, a drain snake or auger can be used to push or pull any blockages down or out of the pipes.
For a more natural approach, a vinegar and baking soda mixture can be poured down the toilet pipe and left to sit for a few hours. This helps to break up any blockages through natural enzymatic reactions.
For more stubborn blockages, a chemical drain cleaner can be used, however this should be a last resort, as these cleaners can be damaging to the toilet pipes.
How do you clear a toilet drain pipe?
Cleaning out a toilet drain pipe is an important part of keeping your toilet functioning correctly. The most important thing to do is to remove any obstructions from the pipe. To do this, it's best to use a plunger, or a toilet auger if the clog is more stubborn.
Start by pushing the plunger down into the pipe, then pull it up again a few times. Keep repeating this action until the clog is dislodged.
If the plunger doesn't clear the clog, you can try using a toilet auger. Feed the auger into the drain pipe and crank it until the clog is removed. Make sure to turn it in a clockwise direction so that you can avoid damaging the pipe.
If the clog persists, it may be time to call a plumber to help remove it. There may be a bigger issue at play if the clog is too stubborn or if the auger isn't doing the trick.
Once the clog has been cleared, you can use boiling water to flush the drain pipes and remove any grime or residue that might be sticking to the side of the pipe. Pour the boiling water into the pipe for about 30 seconds and then flush the toilet.
This should help clear any remaining clogs and clear the pipe properly.
After all of this is complete, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance and cleaning on your toilet and pipes to help prevent future clogs.
Can you put something down toilet to clean pipes?
Yes, you can put something down the toilet to clean the pipes. However, it is not recommended to pour any type of chemical or other abrasive cleaner into the toilet. The most effective way to clean the pipes is to use a plunger or a snake.
An auger is a long flexible rod that is inserted into the toilet and is twisted to break up the blockage. If the clog is stubborn, you can use a plumber's auger to reach the clog and break it up. If the clog is located further down in the pipes, a plumber may need to be called to snake the line to clear the blockage.
Additionally, pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the toilet can also help to break up build up in the pipes.
What is the thing to clean sewer pipes?
The primary methods of cleaning sewer pipes are high pressure water jetting, electric sewer snakes, and chemical-based cleaners. For high pressure water jetting, a specially designed device shoots jets of water directly into the pipe at extremely high pressures in order to clear away any blockages.
Electric sewer snakes use a spinning spiral of wires that are inserted into the pipe and then rotated by an electric motor in order to dislodge a clog. Chemical-based cleaners are another option for clearing sewer pipes.
These cleaners, which come in both liquid and foam forms, dissolve oils, grease and other buildup that can clog a drain. Some brands of chemical cleaners contain enzymes that feed on organic waste and bacteria.
After applying the cleaner, a homeowner would then flush the pipes with hot water to rinse away the solution and clog-causing material.
What do plumbers use to clean pipes?
Plumbers typically use a range of tools and techniques to clean pipes depending on the material of the pipes and the type of debris that has accumulated inside them. Common methods used include sewer cleaning machines or high-pressure water jets, chemical cleaners, manual augers, and combinations of these.
Sewer cleaning machines typically consist of a long hose with a spinning blade system attached to it. As the hose is fed down into the pipe, the spinning blades break up debris and sludge that has built up, allowing it to be flushed out of the pipe.
High-pressure water jets use a combination of pressured water and specialty nozzles to remove debris and flush out material. Chemical cleaners typically contain unique combinations of acids and surfactants that can dissolve objects and soils in pipes, while manual augers allow plumbers to descale accumulated scale within pipes.
Does bleach unclog toilet pipes?
No, bleach does not unclog toilet pipes. Bleach is a chemical disinfectant and is most effective on hard surfaces and in killing bacteria, viruses and fungi. It likely won't dissolve or break down whatever is causing the clog.
Additionally, pourhing bleach down the toilet can be dangerous because it can damage the materials in the plumbing pipes, leading to more costly repairs. If your toilet has a clog, the best thing to do is call a professional plumber or use a plung.
Alternatively, you can try using a plumbing snake or an auger to unclog the pipe.
Does Dawn dish soap clean pipes?
Yes, Dawn dish soap can clean pipes. It is an effective cleaner suitable for a variety of plumbing uses, including unclogging drains and pipe lines. To use Dawn dish soap to clean pipes, start by stopping the water supply, detaching the problem pipe, and draining off water.
If there is any residual water remaining, use a wet-dry vacuum to remove it. Then, mix 1/4 cup of Dawn dish soap with 1/4 cup of baking soda in a large bucket. Add 1-2 gallons of hot water to the bucket and mix to create a sudsy, cleaning solution.
Soak the problem pipe in the bucket for an hour before scrubbing the pipe with a stiff brush or piece of steel wool. Then, rinse with hot and cold water and reattach the pipe. Finally, restart the water supply and test for any remaining clogs.
Can vinegar and baking soda damage pipes?
No, vinegar and baking soda are not likely to damage pipes. These two items are commonly used as a DIY solution for unclogging drains, as their chemical properties make them effective at breaking down debris and residue that has built up in the pipes.
It should be noted, however, that while vinegar and baking soda are unlikely to damage pipes, they should not be used as a long-term solution and may not be able to remove stubbornly stuck clogs. Additionally, it is important to make sure that the baking soda and vinegar are poured into the drain slowly.
The reaction between the two chemicals can cause a buildup of pressure, so it is important to add them slowly to avoid damaging your pipes.
If your pipes have not yet been damaged and you choose to use these items for a clog, it is important to take extra caution and use smaller amounts than recommended. If your pipes have been damaged, the problem should be addressed by a licensed plumber as using vinegar and baking soda may only exacerbate the issue.
Why do plumbers say not to use Drano?
Plumbers generally advise against using Drano because it contains hazardous chemicals that can be dangerous when used incorrectly. It can cause serious damage to your pipes if not used correctly, particularly if you have older pipes, as it can cause corrosion and create a film that can cause further clogs.
It also doesn't work on every type of clog, and it may take several treatments with Drano to get rid of a clog. Furthermore, Drano is filled with harsh chemicals and toxic fumes that can be extremely hazardous when used in small spaces.
If inhaled, the fumes can cause burning sensations in your eyes, throats, and lungs, and can even potentially cause permanent damage to your respiratory system. In order to avoid potentially damaging your pipes and causing safety risks to you and your family, you should always consult an experienced plumber if you're having plumbing problems.
How pipes are professionally cleaned?
Pipes are professionally cleaned in a variety of ways, depending on the type of pipe and the blockage that needs to be cleared. Common methods used to clean pipes include rodding, hydro jetting, chemical treatments, and snaking.
Rodding is a method of manually clearing a blockage from the inside of a pipe by pushing a long, metallic bar through the pipeline. This bar is usually made of a strong material such as steel or brass, and it is connected to a motor-driven spinning head that breaks up clogs in the pipe.
Hydro jetting is a high-pressure water cleaning method used to scour the inside walls of a pipe and remove built-up layers of sediment and blockages. The technique works by shooting a highly pressurized jet of water into the pipe, which is strong enough to loosen and remove stubborn clogs, such as tree roots.
Chemical treatments are another method of pipe cleaning that involves using specialized chemicals to clear blockages. These chemicals are designed to chemically dissolve buildup in the pipes, and they have the added benefit of killing off any bacteria or deposits that may contribute to future blockages.
Finally, snaking is a method of mechanically removing the blockage from a pipe by forcibly pushing a cable through it. The cable is usually composed of a flexible metal line with a specialized head that can push, scrape, or even break apart the obstruction.
Snaking is often used to clear blockages in small, tight spaces or bends in the pipe.
How do I keep my main sewer line clean?
The best way to keep your main sewer line clean is to practice good preventive maintenance. Start by regularly inspecting the line for any blockages or clogs, and take action to remove any that you find.
Being proactive in addressing potential issues before they become major problems can help prevent clogs from developing. Additionally, you should be careful to only put sewage-safe materials into your plumbing system.
Any objects that are not safe, such as grease, cooking oils, and facial tissue, should be disposed of properly.
You can also use harmless chemicals, like enzymatic cleaners, to blast a path through clogs caused by grease, soap and oil. These biodegradable cleaners are applied directly to the clogged area of the main sewer line and work to break down blockages.
Finally, you can also opt to have professional technicians use an auger or hydro jetting to clear away intrusive blockages or clogs. An auger is a cable that is inserted into the main sewer line, with a drill-like tip at one end, to clear away debris.
Hydro jetting involves sending highly pressurized water through the sewer line to blast away any obstructions. Both of these methods are very effective in removing stubborn blockages and restoring flow to your main sewer line.
How does a plumber clear a sewer line?
A plumber would clear a sewer line by using a specialized piece of equipment known as a drain auger. This device is inserted into the pipe and is used to physically break apart blockages and push material further down the line.
Depending on the severity of the clog, the plumber may need to take additional measures such as using an industrial-strength jetting system or even using an excavation expert to locate the clog and physically break through it.
The plumber also may need to remove a section of the sewer line and replace it with new piping in order to effectively remove the blockage. Regardless of the method used, a plumber will be able to effectively clear a sewer line.
How often should home sewer lines be cleaned?
Home sewer lines should generally be cleaned every 1-2 years to maintain a healthy system and ensure that the lines are clear and the drains are working properly. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs.
Once a year is best, but it is important to have the lines checked if there have been any plumbing issues or if there have been clogs or slow draining sinks or toilets. It is also wise to have the lines cleaned if there have been any changes or renovations to the plumbing system, as this can cause build-up in the pipes over time.
How do I remove buildup from drain pipes?
Removing buildup from drain pipes can be done in a few ways, depending on the type of buildup and the severity of the clog. If you are dealing with a minor issue, such as hair or soap scum, you can try using a plunger to create suction and loosen the clog.
If the clog is more significant, then you may need to do a bit more work.
The first step is to pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of vinegar and a cup of hot water. The baking soda and vinegar will interact and create a chemical reaction that can help to loosen the clog and help the debris to move down the drain.
If that does not help to clear the clog, then you can try using a drain snake. A drain snake is a long, flexible rod with a corkscrew end that can be used to break up and remove debris from the inside of the pipe.
Finally, you can also use a chemical drain cleaner to remove the buildup. Chemical drain cleaners contain active ingredients that break down the buildup and help to clear the blockage. However, you should be careful when using these products as they can be corrosive and can cause damage to your pipes if not used properly.
Is ridx good for sewer systems?
RIDX is a great product for sewer systems as it provides an effective and efficient way to monitor and manage the functioning of sewer systems. RIDX is a predictive maintenance technology that uses analytics to detect sewer system issues and determine potential maintenance needs.
It is an effective tool for sewer operators looking to reduce the potential for system failure due to aging infrastructure and other issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and repair decision making.
Additionally, RIDX includes features aimed at optimizing operation performance, such as energy and flow monitoring, that can help reduce utility costs and improve system efficiency. In short, RIDX is an excellent tool for operators looking to get the most out of their sewer systems.

4 Legit Candidates To Replace Nick Saban As Alabama Coach
4 Legit Candidates To Replace Nick Saban As Alabama Coach
Alabama is a perineal championship contender for a reason. The program features a revolving door of player talent and strong coaching, leading to consistently impressive results year in and year out.
Key to the Crimson Tide's success is head coach Nick Saban. So long as he is around, a title always seems feasible. That said, despite having a contract that runs to 2027, he is 70 years old.
It's clear that sooner or later, Alabama will need to confront a Saban-less reality.
When that ultimately happens, college football insider Paul Finebaum believes there are four legit contenders to take over.
"I was in Alabama the other night talking to some 'Bama people and the conversation came up about Saban's future, and it was interesting," Finebaum said, as transcribed by 247 Sports. "I'm giving you an anecdotal conversation.
"Yeah, they still love Kirby Smart over there. They respect him more than any other coach, other than Nick Saban, and that includes Dabo Swinney. Somebody brought up — a bunch of us were sitting around late, and Dabo Swinney's name came up. These are all Alabama people. And I looked around this table, and there were about 10 of them — prominent Alabama boosters — and I didn't see one who felt good about Dabo Swinney taking over for Nick Saban.
"Four years ago, I would've told you he'd be the overwhelming pick to be, of a group like. He's not anymore. Now, what's happened? I don't know. A lot of things have happened. But the answer was there really isn't an answer right now. And timing is really critical."
Swinney, Clemson's current head coach, has been in the news quite a bit over the past few months. Which is fine when you're winning National Championships. But when you're not, it just comes off as irritating.
Many believe that's why Swinney ultimately lost out on Arch Manning.
Lane Kiffin, Billy Napier and Mario Cristobal all also seem to be in the running.
"If there were time and Saban announced in October, 'This is my last year,' then who would emerge? I think you always have to talk about the X Factor," Finebaum continued.
"Somebody mentioned Billy Napier, if he has success. Billy Napier is well liked. But three years ago, Jeremy Pruitt was well liked and considered to be a favorite. He's now persona non grata. So you just don't know. Things change very quickly. People emerge, people come and go."
Nothing speaks to the respect Napier elicits nowadays better than the fact that he single-handedly put his program in the running for Arch Manning.
And Kiffin, well, that one is self-explanatory.
"I'm not saying he wouldn't be (the guy), because I'm in total agreement," Finebaum acknowledged. "As a football coach, Lane Kiffin is terrific. He's outstanding. I think what you have to accept is Lane Kiffin has some sideshow in him, but it shouldn't take away what he's capable of doing. And at Alabama, he wouldn't have to do all that. Why would Lane Kiffin need to spend a lot of time tweeting emojis when he's the Alabama football coach?"
Kiffin is something of a polarizing personality, obviously. But as Finebaum said, his credentials are top-notch.
Finally, don't sleep on Mario Cristobal.
"Another name that has come up, that I think is somewhat out of the contention, is Mario Cristobal," Finebaum noted. "He's well liked at Alabama, too. It's hard to imagine, after leaving to go to Oregon and now coming to Miami, it's even conceivable he could make another move."
Saban is arguably the greatest college football coach of all time. The way he effortlessly communicates with recruits and isn't afraid to speak his mind is truly unique.
Paige kept it real.https://t.co/KnIh7eFwgD
— Game 7 (@game7__) April 26, 2022
That said, he won't coach forever.
And when he does finally decide to call it quits, Alabama would be wise to have a succession plan in place.
