Woke up and worked my butt off baking a batch of pumpkin pie cookies topped with maple icing for Ethan's family in the spirit of Thanksgiving. :D
One of the things I love most about Thanksgiving is having the opportunity to enjoy being with my family, free of interruption. Given that fact and the fact that I'm kind of a photo-fanatic, it's ironic that I have absolutely zero photographic representations of my beautiful family on Turkey Day.
In lieu of such, please enjoy our table. My mom and I threw this together with little to no effort, very last minute. But since my mom is an artist (though she is too modest to call herself such), it turned out beautifully!
Not pictured: amazing food and my amazing family. We shared a lot of laughs. Table Topics, anyone?
My mom has recently taken up metal embossing. She made a couple of monograms and framed them for my grandmothers' place settings.
See how cute?
Yep. And within the next couple of days I'll have more photos of her adorable work - I'm so excited to share!
And if I may brag for a minute about my caramel apple cheesecake (based on this recipe - I opted for a homemade graham cracker-walnut crust instead)... Look at that - no splits in the cake top! So proud of myself!
Minutes before serving, I topped the cheesecake with a warm caramel apple sauce.
Oh, and here is Sonny during our Thanksgiving dinner. This is where he spends most of his time now: in a shallow box from a case of water bottles. He's thrifty. I've taught him well.
I hope all of my lovely readers had an equally lovely Thanksgiving. Tell me, what was your favorite dish? :P

For the past several months, there has been much discussion within the ICANN community about something called "PDP 3.0". This has been raised in a number of different contexts including as part of ICANN's new governance review.
But what exactly is PDP 3.0? And, will it save ICANN's multi-stakeholder governance model?
Jeff Neuman, our Senior Vice President in the US, and Co-Chair of the Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Procedure (PDP) working group discusses the real issue with ICANN's current policy development process.
The full article, published on Circle ID, outlines changes that need to be addressed before the proposed 3.0 changes can be effective. It concludes that a new approach to achieving consensus across parties with widely differing views is needed.

Rates are finally on the up for savers, with Charter Savings Bank becoming the latest provider to offer table-topping deals – this time in the oft-forgotten realm of notice accounts.
Notice accounts, which allow you to withdraw your money after a set notice period, can provide better rates than instant-access accounts, while still allowing you to withdraw your cash.
Which? has looked at the best rates on the market, so you can find the best option for your circumstances.
Best-rate notice accounts
A notice account requires you to give a set amount of notice that you plan to withdraw your money – for example, a 90-day notice account would require you to alert the bank three months in advance.
As you would expect, the best rates tend to be offered by accounts with longer notice periods, but this isn't always the case.
The highest notice account rate is from Charter Savings Bank. Its 95 Day Issue 18 account offers 1.67% on balances over £1,000. Unusually, this rate beats the 120-day notice account that had previously been top of the table.
The provider currently tops several other notice periods, too.
At 1.36% AER, Charter Savings Bank 30 Day Notice account offers a 0.31% higher AER than the second-highest rate in this category. Its 60 Day Notice account is more competitive than the next-best 60 Day Notice account by just 0.01%.
The table below shows the notice savings accounts and Isas with the top rates.
With such little difference between rates, it's always worth considering other factors – such as lower initial deposits, for instance – that may make an account more suitable for you.
The table also illustrates that Isa notice accounts tend to have lower rates than notice savings accounts, but that doesn't mean they're not worth considering.
Money is held in an Isa is tax-free, so if the interest you earn from savings is likely to exceed your personal savings allowance, it would be more beneficial to have a lower AER rate than having to pay tax on your savings income.
- Find out more: How to find the best savings account
Should you get a notice savings account?
The type of account you go for should reflect your savings goals and circumstances.
If you have little in the way of savings, and your cash flow needs mean you may need to take money out regularly, then a notice account may not be the right choice for you.
While there are short seven-day notice options such as the Swansea BS First Adult Saver, this account offers 1.25% AER.
This can currently be beaten by instant-access accounts such as the Bank of Cyprus UK Online Easy Access Account, which has 1.32% AER and requires no notice at all. This account also beats the rates for all of the Isa notice accounts.
However, if you have savings that you won't need to access any time soon and that you want to grow above the current rate of inflation (2.4%), then a fixed-term account could be the best bet.
The table below shows the fixed-term accounts offering the top rates.
All fixed-term accounts beat the rates offered by notice accounts.
The top rate is from Vanquis Bank 5 Year Fixed Rate Bond, paying 2.7% AER on balances over £1,000 – which is a great return if you can do without the money in the account for that length of time.
To find the right home for savings, you can use Which? Money Compare to research hundreds of savings accounts and Isas.
How do notice accounts work?
A sort of halfway house between an instant-access and fixed-term account, notice accounts allow you to make an unlimited number of withdrawals, but require a specified amount of notice before you can access your funds.
The most common notice periods are 30, 60 and 90 days, but this can vary. Generally, the longer the notice period, the higher rate of interest on offer.
Depending on the type of account you have, you can give notice in writing, in-branch, online or over the phone. Before signing up, you should double-check with your provider about how to make withdrawal requests to see if it will be convenient for you.
Some accounts may allow early withdrawals, but using this option will usually mean forfeiting some or all of the interest you've accrued.

Cocos sahnii Kaul: A Cocos nucifera L.-like fruit from the Early Eocene rainforest of Rajasthan, western India
Anumeha Shukla Rakesh C Mehrotra Jaswant S Guleria
Click here to view fulltext PDF
Permanent link:
Cocos sahnii Kaul, a fossil palm fruit, is validated and described from the Fuller's earth deposits of Kapurdi village of Rajasthan considered as Early Eocene in age. The fossil best resembles the genus Cocos, particularly Cocos nucifera L., which is now a common coastal element thriving in highly moist conditions. The recovery of this coconut-like fruit, along with earlier described evergreen taxa from the same formation, suggests the existence of typical tropical, warm and humid coastal conditions during the depositional period. The present arid to semi-arid climatic conditions occurring in Rajasthan indicate drastic climate change in the region during the Cenozoic. The possible time for the onset of aridity in the region which caused the total eradication of semi-evergreen to evergreen forests is discussed, as well as the palaeobiogeography of coconuts.

What They Say
Nazila J
I have been going to Patty and Ashley for six months for multiple different procedures. They are wonderful and well-experienced. I am very happy with my results and the work they did for me and my daughter. The price is amazing. I originally made an appointment with a different medical spa but once I found out about Dermix I immediately switched to them. I am paying 1/3 of the price that I would at other spas. 10/10 recommend.
Maria H
If you want your skin looking younger and radiant look no more Patty is the BEST! You will see the difference from the first facial you do. I also did meso therapy and no bruising at all. She's simply the best your skin will love her!

Birthlight On Tour has just returned from an amazing Motherhood Yoga Training in Fukui, Japan! Our local organizer and dear friend Rumi Kinoshita went above and beyond to make this training an incredible experience for everyone involved. From the location to the freshly prepared lunches to the volunteers that joined us each day - Rumi left no detail to chance. The training took place in the beautiful Kanazu Forest of Creation - the window of our training room looked out to the most awe-inspiring view. This training exceeded our expectations in every single way - our students were so engaged and listening to Motherhood Yoga taught in Japanese was an experience Sally and I will not soon forget! Our students for this course came from varied backgrounds - yoga teachers, midwives, doctors and mothers joined us and each took away something special to incorporate into their lives.
Sally and I took advantage of our time in Japan - we spent the first three days exploring Tokyo, two days in the beautiful city of Kyoto and then we took the train to the training in Fukui. The train through the Japanese countryside is something not to be missed!! Our hotel in Fukui was traditional Japanese-style with futon beds and the most amazing onsen (natural hot spring pools) which made the end to each night a relaxing experience! We are planning dates in Japan for 2018 so stay tuned for more details.
Upcoming Birthlight On Tour dates include:
17 - 22 July
Sunshine House, Greece
Full retreat

All my love,
Katey Wheelhouse
A little seed of Birthlight Japan was planted in me 6 years ago by Sally and Francoise when I first participated Birthlight training in Sydney. It has been nurtured by what I observed, listened and integrated through my yoga practice, my days of life, and especially by the spiral of joy created by women and little ones in my pregnancy, postnatal and baby yoga classes. I am delightful to see that Sally came to Japan at last to deliver Birthlight core essence which was a real light to all the trainees of the course. It was a goal of my Birthlight journey for long time and now I realized that new story has just begun. Thank you for your brilliant 5-day-course, Sally. It was so simple but powerful message to Japan that Japanese mothering, meditation and education will become better. I appreciate our new friendship, Katey, we all loved your energy of brightness. Rumi
I received many lovely feedbacks from the trainees, here are only some of them.
"I wake up early, clean the room, get ready for the day and it feels just great. My kids and family look so comfortable around me and I think my life has changed since Motherhood Yoga course. I now well understand the continuity through pre & postnatal as a midwife, which is great for my career. Sally and what she told us were all so lovely."
midwife, a mother of three, Takako
"Sally's tutoring was just miracle. The course totally exceeded my expectation. It was great that we had practice with visiting pregnant & postnatal women and babies. Especially the yoga session we created in the group was a super learning experience for me. I enjoyed everything in the course including lunch & tea, and paired Thai massage by Katey."
nurse, a mother of two, Nana
"The course was nice blend of theory and practice. Through Sally's real class and our practice sessions, I learned a lot by using both of my brain and body. It was such an experience immersed in love of motherhood. The friendship among the trainees will be one of my treasure in my life. 5 days are dreams and happiness."
swimming instructor, Sayaka

Two of Elizabethtown Area High School's basketball players recently broke the 1,000 point barrier. Marena Lonardi (12) first broke 1,000 points against Lebanon, becoming the first girl from Elizabethtown to break 1,000 points since Sarah Fairbanks in 2012. Larry Locker (12) would break 1,000 points eight days later against Milton Hershey.
Lonardi, who has been starting on the varsity team since her freshman year, missed her entire sophomore season due to a knee injury. "I didn't really think about [scoring 1,000 points] until I was 100 points away this year," Lonardi said. But her scoring has been a key part of the team, including in last year's district and state play-off run. While those bouts weren't successful, she was able to help push the team to a section championship this year. "One of our big goals this year was to win the section, which we did for the first time in 15 years," Lonardi said.
Lonardi will attend Lock Haven University where she will play basketball.
Locker began starting on the varsity team as a sophomore, but knew from freshman year that he had a chance to reach 1,000 points. Though he does credit his own dedication to the sport as reason for his accomplishment, Locker is especially grateful to his teammates. "My teammates played a big role in helping me reach 1,000 points as most of my points were scored off them passing me the ball," said Locker. Next on Locker's list of goals for his team is to win a championship, and he feels optimistic about this season. "We are playing very well together as a team. We lost one of our starters but we keep working hard in hopes to make a run in the playoffs," Locker said.
Locker plans to attend York College in the fall and continue to play basketball.

These past few days have been sunnier than the prior half of the week, which in turn put me in higher spirits. I still spent most of my time indoors, but it's just nice to wake up and see sunshine streaming in through the windows and the house brightly lit throughout the day. I've even made an effort to go out for short walks.
I actually did mix a bit of matcha powder into the batter, but I think I'll need to invest in some higher quality matcha for my next try, because it really didn't seem to have made much of a difference in the colour or the taste for yesterday's batch.
Nonetheless, I'm very happy with the result! The tops cracked nicely and the insides were not too moist, just the right amount of fluffiness. I'm glad I didn't put too much filling inside each one since the paste is quite sweet, but good in small doses.
I'd recommend anyone to try making these, they really are easy to make and not time consuming at all. And it's always nice to experience that pleasant surprise, when you try something a little different and it actually works!

Spend six hours feeling bad, because technology.
There will be more albums released this year than just the 14 albums that King Lizard and the Gizzard Wizard release. Here are some of our picks!
Put together the first letters of each paragraph for a secret message!
I doubt Mark and Jay had 50 albums they even liked this year. I found 50 I liked a lot.
Sometimes a cat will get some poop stuck to their butt fur. I call those "trailers" too!
"It's time for the Jedi to end."
I'm glad that the year this album is about is the same as the amount of dollars I paid for it.

News & Updates
Lately I've Been Thinking
Lately I've been thinking a lot about what it means to work in a business that serves the public and how very much we enjoy our work here at Wiard's Orchards. Just last night I was visiting with a colleague and asked "how do you answer the question from your friends and family 'why do you do this year after year'"? Without missing a beat she responded, "I tell them it's because I just love the people I work with. I have never worked anyplace before where everyone is treated as an individual and valued for who they are."
November is here and yes we are all tired, very tired and ready to be spend time with our family and friends, one might say we are ready to get our lives back. And yet…this too is our life…our work…our work family…and we will miss them while we are apart.
We will miss our customers and the fullness that they add to our days, the constant chatter of families having a good time, the quick chat at the hot cider station as we pass by and yes, even telling one more customer which apple is best for baking or how many cups in a gallon of cider.
We do value each of you for exactly who you are. Thank you for honoring us with your presence for fall of 2019. We look forward to seeing you all again in fall of 2020 as we celebrate 183 years in business. Your loyalty is amazing and we strive to be worthy in our service to each of you; employee, friend, family or customer. We love you!
God has blessed me with an amazing family, friends and work colleagues that have been my joy, my support, and my sanity. I don't know what I'd do without them. Josie Loren

Most of the time, we spend our days in human made structures, like a school, at home, or on the streets. There is not really any time to experience the wonders of nature. As a result, stress levels rise and we run into trouble. Life becomes unbalanced as it all focuses on ambitions and the ego's wants. It is a pain. This article looks at The Importance of Connecting with Nature in Everyday Life and the ways you can do so right now.
Let's get started.
Humans are a Part of Nature
People like to make the distinction of themselves as a higher being, separate from all the other animals around them. In reality though, people are every bit a part of nature. We are animals whether we like it or not. To a certain degree, we need what animals need. We need to get outside and breathe the fresh air, to feel the sun our faces, and experience the wind at our backs.
There is no way around it. Before people became civilized, they spent a lot of time outdoors because, well, there was no civilization to speak of. To survive, people had to be part of nature to survive, adapting to the winds of fate and molding themselves to all that was thrown at them.
We need nature. Nature does not need us.
Increase Your Own Personal Well-Being
When you get outside on a regular basis, you experience a number of important benefits. These include increased creativity, physical health, emotional control, and decreased anxiety.
If you spend your days looking up at the night sky and wondering about life, your creativity rises. In fact, studies suggest high ceilings increase creativity. So why not put yourself into the highest ceiling of them all? Nature.
If you go hiking outdoors, you exercise your muscles, strengthening your legs from the hills and valleys and working your back muscles from the pack you carry. You also increase your breathing capacity. When you go back home to where you live, you will have more energy and motivation. Daily life at school, work, or with family seems not so bad by comparison.
You see the bigger picture. The mountain air calms you down. You can take a breath with greater appreciation.
When I look up at the sky, I think about how Earth is a big rock floating in space (sorry flat earthers) and the only reason we are not sucked into the vacuum of the unknown is because of gravity. We are lucky to be where we are.
When I look at the redwoods at UCSC, I calm down and breathe a sigh of relief. Life is not so bad after all. If this tree can make it for a 100 years and turn out fine, I can do so too. A redwood is like a friendly grandma; they calm you down and bring you cookies, helping you to slow down and appreciate the little things.
Help Others by Helping Yourself to Nature
Time spent outdoors is connected to more pro social behavior. Because of your greater well-being from time spent outdoors, you become a calmer, more level-headed person. Because you saw a bigger perspective, you can return down to everyday life and focus on the tasks at hand with greater appreciation of the wider world. People will like you better.
If you spend time outdoors in nature on a regular basis, you will be happier. I guarantee it.
5 Ways to Connect with Nature Right Now
You might be thinking now that getting out and into nature is all fine and dandy, but how do you do it when you're working 60 hours a week? What if I am in school and working nights? When can I find the time if I am always cooking for my kids? Those are valid points. It is a hassle to set aside the time and find the space for nature in daily life. It is a struggle. You can find five easy ways below.
1. Get into a Green Space Outside.
You might live near a park or your apartment complex has a small bench with a pretty tree in front of it. If it is living and green, then it helps to form part of a green space. You can buy a houseplant. Right now I have a succulent. If you often forget to water and do not get much sunlight, then you have found the plant to forget about, the succulent. They are built to last and hold up even when you forget about them. A cactus also works well.
If you look at a tree walking to work from the car you just parked, then that works too. Be creative where you can find greenery. Nature permeates our everyday lives without us even realizing it.
2. Search for the Silence and Introspection.
I have found nature to be much more enjoyable and calming in a silent place, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is stressful to hear cars rushing by, train horns blowing, airplanes whirring overhead, and people yelling at each other across the street. It adds up and pounds at your head, causing migranes and headaches.
Public parks are excellent places to find nature. They were specifically designed for just that purpose and are often away from noise pollution. The trees and greenery absorb the sound as it reverberates throughout the area. When you are in a silent place, you give your mind a mental break. It can now think in peace, free of the constant stimuli and distractions which pollute your senses.
3. Write Down 3 Ways You Felt Connected to Nature Today.
Gratitude. When you do this, you experience gratitude. It not so much gets you out and into nature as it helps you to realize how much nature is already around us. It might be the temperature of the day or the wind that sent chills down your spine. There are all manner of signals nature sends to us which alert us to its presence. You just have to keep a keen ear about you and listen.
4. Find a Friend and Get into Nature Together.
When you are in nature with a friend, lover, or sibling, you experience nature together. The sun beats down on you and both of you feel the same heat. If the wind sends you shivering in search of a coat, you can bet your buddy felt it too. You are also safer. By being in nature together, you both connect on a deeper level. By both realizing the vastness of the world, you can see how minuscule problems seem to be.
5. Look up at the Sky.
This is one of my favorite activities. I just love it. My Kenyan professor used to say, "in America I can go a whole year without looking up at the sky; in Kenya I do it every day." When you look up at the sky, you realize how big the world is. Problems seem a lot smaller by comparison. The sky is big and it is all one. It is huge. You realize the infinity of the universe and depth of the world around you.
If You Are Going to Head Outside, You'll Need a Backpack
I hope you enjoyed this article as much as I did writing it. If you want to enjoy nature for a longer time, then I suggest you take up backpacking. It is an excellent way for you to realize the vastness of Earth and see the world. If you are going to head outside, you'll need a backpack. Fortunately for you, I wrote an article about the best backpacking backpacks. It will be sure to help you to make your decision. Many of them also work as day hike packs. Check it out!

I'm lucky enough to be planning another trip to Italy with my mom, leaving in a couple of weeks. Last time I was there, I took a lot of photos of beautiful buildings and sculptures. They're everywhere you look.
The Italian people are a nice bunch. Understandably, those working with tourists every day are not typically too friendly, but if you're lost or need help with something on the street, Italians will happily help.
Italian women dress beautifully, and seemingly effortlessly. They don't slog around in jeans and sweatshirts (or flannel pajama pants) like Americans.
The Italians smoke a lot of cigarettes, and they don't care if you have to breathe in their smoke. (In the U.S., we shame smokers, and wonder why they don't quit.)
They drive cars like maniacs. You don't see "Pedestrian Crossing" zones; you dash across quickly at your own risk.
There is hardly a bathroom to be found in Italy. The best plan is to use the restroom at your hotel in the morning, then don't count on seeing a toilet until you reach your hotel again that evening. This way, if you accidentally run across a restroom while out and about, you'll be happily surprised. For god's sake, bring your own toilet paper (there probably won't be any available even if you pay for the restroom), and don't count on there being a toilet seat. Just squat. Enough said?
A lot of Latin flies around the Vatican. From what I can tell, no one really understands most of the monuments, tombstones, etc. because they're all composed in Latin. On the other hand, we went to Mass at St. Peter's, and parts of the service were spoken in French, German, Spanish, Italian, and English.
I'm looking forward to the beauty and the oddness of it all.

How to implement two way data binding in react
In this tutorial, we are going to learn about two-way data binding in react apps with examples.
What is two way data binding?
Two data binding means
- The data we changed in the view has updated the state.
- The data in the state has updated the view.
Let's implement the two way binding in react.
class UserInput extends React.Component{
state = {
name:"reactgo" }
handleChange = (e) =>{ this.setState({ name: e.target.value }) }
<input type="text" onChange={this.handleChange} value={this.state.name} /> </div>
Two data binding demo
In the above code, we have attached an
onChange event handler to the input element and also value attribute is connected to the
this.state.name.so that the value attribute is always synced with
this.state.name property.
Whenever the user changes an input in the view it triggers the onChange event handler then it calls the this.setState method and updates the
this.state.name property value at final the
UserInput component is re-rendered with the updated changes.
This is also called controlled component because the value of an input element is controlled by the react.

The city hosting the 2019 edition of Meet in Italy for Life Sciences is Trieste, capital of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region.
Also known as the "little Vienna on the sea", Trieste is a cultural crossroads that has always been considered a meeting point between West and East on account of its geographical position.
Situated on a narrow strip of land, Trieste is also the sea. A sea that seeps in among the houses and one of the most important and lively ports in Italy. A sea that takes on a special meaning for the city, for its citizens and for all sea lovers during the Barcolana, a regatta held in October each year and that counted over 2,600 participating boats in 2018.
Starting from piazza dell'Unità, among the most suggestive and largest squares of those opening onto the sea, Trieste offers its visitors a series of major attractions: from the Audace Pier to the Castle of Saint Giusto, from The Victory Lighthouse to the Roman Theatre, to enjoy the city, its cafés, and its shops.
Organise your stay or your trip to Trieste for Meet in Italy for Life Sciences 2019.

Car of the Month - Richard Snowdon and his Ford Capri 280 Brooklands
Wednesday September 26, 2018
When Richard Snowdon was a teenager he craved a new Ford Capri Injection but after leaving school he put aside such dreams together with Depeche Mode records. However, 12 years ago 'I was collecting my daughter from a party and the host invited me to take a look at the classic car in his garage. On seeing those four headlamps, I fell in love with the Capri all over again and asked the chap "are you selling?"'.
As any enthusiast will tell you, there is no such car as an 'ordinary Capri' but Richard's example is none other than the highly coveted 280 "Brooklands". 'Mine was built in 1986 and registered in 1987; it is car number 993 out of a production run of 1,038'. In 1981 the Injection revitalised the Mk. III's image and in late 1984 it gained a limited slip differential rear axle and even more stylish alloy wheels as the "Injection Special".
By the mid-1980s Ford wished to mark the demise of "The Car You've Always Promised Yourself" and their original plan was to build a limited run of 500 modified Injection Specials and badge them accordingly. The eventual car was, of course, the 280, which debuted in 1986 and was instantly recognisable via its hide-trimmed interior and its Brooklands Green paint finish.
In terms of condition, Richard's car was 'as she looks now' but since 2006 she has received a considerable amount of work. The leather has been re-Connolised' and the Capri received a 'bare metal respray from Cosmetic Auto Care in Northampton' and 'five-day detail by Matt Rowe of Obsidian Detailing to get the paintwork absolutely bob on'. Under the bonnet the 280 was suffering from 'serious valve seat recession issues' and such issues were rectified by Ric Wood at Ricwood Motorsport. 'The top end was re-built, and the engine was tweaked; the power is now 175bhp'.
Whenever the 280 is taken for a spin around Macclesfield it inevitably attracts a great deal of attention, especially in service stations and car parks. 'It happens about 50 times a day. Some people call my Capri "a Laser" but I never correct them; I just quietly smile'. Richard has also driven the Brooklands through 'the "Millionaires' Triangle" in Cheshire and sometimes the owner of a Bentley will lower his electric window for a chat. I frantically crank the winder to hear him say "that's a proper car".
The 280 remains one of the finest examples of how to conclude a long-running model on a high note and it is very apparent how much Richard enjoys owning such a magnificent Ford. 'The sound of that V6 burble is unmistakable'. The Snowdon Capri is now part of the family and it is a regular star of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show and it can be seen at the NEC this November – 'I am finding that many younger visitors respond to it – and quite a few know more about the Brooklands than older drivers!'. And as for Richard's choice of music when on the move – 'well, I do have some ABBA cassettes…'

The fences are going up at Beach Area 1 in Wasaga Beach to protect the endangered birds that have returned to the area to nest.
The Piping Plover is considered a species at risk in the Great Lakes.
Over the last three years, the plovers have made nests at Beach 1, with varying degrees of success.
Since they winter in the Gulf of Mexico, there was concern the huge oil spill last year would have a negative impact on them.
But several birds arrived at the beach in the last few days, and are apparently in the process of choosing their mates.
The fences will remain up until any chicks hatch and fledge.

Although there were protests over providing additional land for the metro car shed of Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) in Aarey, 7,200 square meter of additional land has been sanctioned by the State Government. Earlier, 27.79 hectare of land was sanctioned for metro line phase three.
This work was hampered due to high voltage wire on the given space for the depot of car shed in Aare Colony for Mumbai Metro 3. The government has approved this place to shift. This land has been given to Aarey Metro Corporation near Mauja Parjapur in Aarey Colony.
Stalin, the President of environmental NGO, Vana Shakti, says the state officials are cheating people. There is a rally on Sunday against he metro car shed.
So, 'Mumbai is upgrading' but at nature's cost.

Poland is a country that in its turbulent history disappeared from the maps of the world for 123 years. Disappeared to return and fight for independence again, thanks to this today the Polish landscape stretches from the sea to the mountain ranges. Historical changes, especially the multitude of nations inhabiting Polish lands, also influenced Polish cuisine, which combines eastern, western and southern flavors.
For more information about polish tourist attractions, please visit the website of the Polish Tourist Organization.
Wrocław is a Polish city that in 2016 deservedly held the title of the European Capital of Culture and still impresses with its beauty, monuments and spirituality. And currently Wrocław won the prestigious "European Best Destination 2018" plebiscite, which is another confirmation of the city's huge attractiveness against the background of Europe. The rich history and charm of the city can be seen at every turn in its monuments, so you can not overlook the most interesting places.
Here is a list of the most visited places by tourists:
- A beautiful Market Square with a unique Town Hall and magnificent bourgeois tenement houses.
- ZOO with Afrykarium, the oldest and largest (in terms of species diversity) zoological garden in Poland with a unique global complex representing the African aquatic environment.
- Ostrów Tumski, a former island on which a castle was built, which gave rise to the city.
- Racławice Panorama, a monumental painting – one of the few preserved in the world.
- The Centennial Hall with the Cognitive Center, inscribed on the UNESCO list with a multimedia fountain.
- Sky Tower, the tallest building in Wroclaw, where you can admire the panorama of the city (viewpoint).
- The main building of the University of Wrocław, in which there is a pearl of the Lower Silesian baroque – Aula Leopoldina, and the Mathematical Tower.
- Aquapark, where you can relax with the whole family after exploring the city.
- An Exceptional Quarter of Four Religions, where in the close vicinity there are four temples of different religions.
- Hydropolis – multimedia, full of interactive installations, an exhibition devoted to water located in a former underground drinking water tank.
Certainly, you will be interested in finding a gnome in Wroclaw, discovering it can be a real adventure, because all over the city there are about 400 figurines of dwarfs that celebrate their holiday in September (a detailed list of Wroclaw dwarves can be found at www.krasnale.pl). Note, if you visit Wroclaw once, you will want to come back.

Microsoft Code Contracts have finally emerged from the Microsoft Research DevLabs into production. This is the first in a new blog series dedicated to spreading the good news about this amazing product. You may already know that Microsoft dumps billions of dollars into Research & Development every year, collaborating with academic, government and industry researchers all over the world to improve the platform. To be frank, this "culture of investment" is the main reason that I'm proud to call myself a .NET developer. Microsoft's deep level of investment is also attracting some of the best and brightest minds in software engineering to their research projects: another great reason for me to reply in kind, dedicating myself to mastering the platform.
Along the journey to becoming a Microsoft ninja, I discovered Code Contracts in 2008 and immediately fell in love with the idea. Code Contracts is just one of the many DevLabs projects that are part of the RiSE program, or Research in Software Engineering at Microsoft. Among its cryptic-sounding project peers like CHESS, Doloto, Pex, Moles, Cuzz, Gargoyle, etc., the Code Contracts project has a name we can actually ascribe some purpose to. We all know what code is and we certainly have opportunities to deal with contracts now and again. In fact, as software developers, we deal with code contracts (lowercase) every day. Here's an example:
public int Greet(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", args[0]); return args.Length; }
This simple Greet method written in C# exposes a contract. If it could talk, the Greet method might say:
- I promise to accept an array of arguments of type string.
- I promise to return an integer type result when I am done.
These promises can be thought of as contractual obligations. The Greet function is obligated to to fulfill the promises it has made. Similarly, callers of the Greet function have some obligations, too. You can't just pass an array of integers as arguments. The contract requires an array of strings. And if the caller tried to handle the integer result of the Greet method as a string, for example, that would be a violation of the contract, too. So, the simple interface of this little method creates obligations both for the caller and within the implementation of the Greet method. I think we can safely call this exchange of obligations a contract, enforceable and verifiable in every legal sense of the term. However, as legally binding as this contract "language" might be, there are some unanswered questions:
- Can the caller pass null (Nothing) for the argument?
- Can the caller pass a valid but empty array of strings as the argument?
- How many strings in the arguments array does the Greet method expect?
- Can the caller safely pass non-null but empty strings as arguments?
- Arrays are reference types, so Greet could replace some or all of the string references in the arguments passed to it. Does it intend to do that?
- Does the Greet method modify the state of the object of which it's a part?
- Does it have any other side effects that the caller needs to know about?
- Can the caller ignore the integer result of Greet?
- What range of integers does Greet intend to return?
Wow! It looks like the attorneys who wrote our little code contract left out some important details, you might say. (No offense to Hejlsberg, Stroustrup, Kernighan or Ritchie, of course.) There are a lot of loopholes in this contract it seems. In a traditional, general purpose programming language like C#, we might add some "guard code" to the Greet method to tighten things up a bit like this:
public int Greet(string[] args) { if (args == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(); if (args.Length 1 || args[0] == null) throw new ArgumentException(); Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", args[0]); return args.Length; }
We call the kinds of defensive statements at the top of this revision "guard code" because they act like a shield, keeping us from making obvious mistakes later in the method. By checking that the array isn't null and that it's at least one element in length and that the first element is also not null, we believe that the code in the remainder of Greet method will run smoothly or at least without exception. These tests will allow us to check that the array passed to Greet is structured and populated just as we require. You might even call the assumptions at the top of the function a set of "code-conditions" that must be met to execute the Greet method correctly.
These new code-conditions are good but they're not really acting like code-conditions at all. C# gives us no way of describing them to callers of the Greet method. Looking at the Greet method signature alone, callers have no way of knowing what their non-null and array bounds obligations are. Microsoft Code Contracts doesn't see this as a deficiency in the C# language at all. Sure, languages like Eiffel have the ability to express pre-conditions in code but C# and VB.NET weren't created to be design-by-contract languages. The approach that Microsoft took with Code Contracts is very simple:
- Let the .NET languages be what they want to be.
- Provide some scaffolding above the code (through a static checker).
- Provide a safety net below the code (through a runtime rewriter).
I'll spend the rest of this post talking about the static checker and focus on the Code Contracts runtime rewriter in future posts. The Code Contracts static checker is only available in the Premium Edition of the product which, in turn, only functions on Visual Studion 2008 Team System and the Premium or Ultimate Editions of Visual Studio 2010. Once you have Code Contracts Premium Edition installed, the static checker is enabled by checking a checkbox on a new "Code Contracts" tab in the project properties.
In this new tab marked "Code Contracts", notice that I've selected four checkboxes from the middle section entitled Static Checking:
- Perform Static Contract Checking
- Implicit Non-Null Obligations
- Implicit Array Bounds Obligations
- Check in Background
Perform Static Contract Checking means that I want to enable the static checker. Remember that if you are running the non-Team System version of Visual Studio 2008 or the Standard Edition of Visual Studio 2010, you will not have access to the static checker. Later posts in this series will cover the runtime Code Contracts checker which all versions of Visual Studio have access to. Checking this checkbox enables the feature in general and you'll notice that if you uncheck it, the rest of the options in that section become visually disabled.
Implicit Non-Null Obligations means that we want the static checker to look for places in the code that seem to implicitly obligate callers to pass a non-null reference, for example. When these kinds of pre-conditions are found, the static checker will make recommendations about adding some requirements to the contract.
Implicit Array Bounds Obligations means that the static checker should look at how arrays are used and to make some recommendations about which preconditions should be added to the contract.
Check in Background is self-explanatory, I think.
Going back to the original version of the Greet method above, let's build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B) and see what the static Code Contracts checker has to say in the Errors List. Press Ctrl+W, E meaning "show the Window for Errors" if it doesn't show for you automatically.
There are two warnings about the args array: one that says we should check the parameter for nullness and another that says we should make sure that the length of the array is greater than zero. Great suggestions. But notice how the informational messages above the warnings encourage us to do this. They say that we should add preconditions using some method called
Contract.Requires(). We are already accustomed to adding guard code using the "if (condition) throw new Exception();" pattern, right? What is this
Contract.Requires() method anyway?
As you might have guessed, Microsoft Code Contracts provides the static (Shared in VB.NET)
Requires() method on the Contract class in the System.Diagnostics.Contracts namespace for adding preconditions to a contract. If we follow the suggestions, adding one more pre-conditions of our own, the code including the Main function to call Greet would look like this:
using System; using System.Diagnostics.Contracts; class Part1 { static void Main(string[] args) { Part1 program = new Part1(); program.Greet(args); } public int Greet(string[] args) { Contract.Requires(args != null); Contract.Requires(args.Length > 0); Contract.Requires(args[0] != null); Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", args[0]); return args.Length; } }
At this point, you're probably saying something to yourself like, "Well, that's a bit easier to read but how is it any better than testing with an if statement and throwing an exception for each bad condition encountered? The answer comes when you build the solution again and look at what the static checker has to say about the new code:
Now we've got a whole new batch of warnings. How is this better?! Well, let's look at each one. We'll start with the warning marked as number 2:
- 2 CodeContracts: requires unproven: args[0] != null
If you double-click on this warning, it opens the editor and takes the cursor to line 9, inside the Main method. Huh? How could adding a pre-condition to the Greet method create a warning in the Main method? Unless the static checker is telling us that there's now something potentially wrong with the call to Greet on that line. Indeed, if you look at the warning closely, it says that the requirement is "unproven". What does that mean? Well, if you go back and think about the original argument I made concerning the contractual nature of code, the requirements that a method makes on the caller are often expressed in simple "if (condition) throw new Exception();" syntax inside the called code. In the past, we've had no way of making the caller of a method containing such guard code to (a) know what all the obligations in calling the method are and (b) have an opportunity to express them in a way that can verify the correctness of the implementation. With the static checker in Code Contracts, it appears that we're getting just that kind of information for the first time. The static checker, if it could talk, would be saying, "You've said that the Greet method requires certain things about its parameters, but the Main method hasn't convinced me that it's actually holding up its end of the contract." Stop for a moment and savor this. This is new and different and way cool.
- 3 + location related to previous warning
If you double click on this warning, it will take you to the place in the Greeting method where the "args[0] != null" pre-condition was expressed. It's telling us that a specific pre-condition caused the warning above. That's a nice feature for tying warnings to the assertions and pre-conditions that created them.
- 4 CodeContracts: requires unproven: args.Length > 0
Like the warning on line 2, this warning is telling us that a pre-condition stated in the Greet function is also not being met in the call to Greet within Main on line 9 of the source code. The code in Main doesn't know that the args array has elements in it so the call to Greet might occur using an invalid value.
- 5 + location related to previous warning
Like the warning on line 3, this one says that warning 4 is related to a specific pre-condition in the Greeting method, namely the one that the length of the args array be greater than zero. Double-clicking the warning will take you directly to that pre-condition.
Looking at the suggestion on Line 1 in the Errors List, we could add some Contract.Requires() style pre-conditions to the Main function like this:
static void Main(string[] args) { Contract.Requires(args != null); Contract.Requires(args.Length > 0); Contract.Requires(args[0] != null); Part1 program = new Part1(); program.Greet(args); }
And a build of the solution with those changes to Main would show you that all of the Code Contracts assertions had been met without warning. Excellent! But what if the Code Contracts runtime checker hasn't been enabled? Couldn't you still call the Main method of the program without command line arguments, making the args parameter an empty array? Sure you could! So, in my opinion, the following change to Main is even better:
static void Main(string[] args) { Part1 program = new Part1(); // testing the args parameter is enough to // satisfy the static checker that we won't // call the Greet method with bad parameters if (args != null && args.Length > 0 && args[0] != null) program.Greet(args); }
You can leave the
Contract.Requires() pre-conditions in the Main method if you like. That would be a good thing to have if the runtime checker is enabled at build time. But if you build this latest version of Main into the project, you'll see that those pre-conditions are not strictly required. The static checker simply wants to know that the pre-conditions in the Greet method have been met. And that can be done by asserting the pre-conditions upstream to the caller of Main. Or, as the code here shows, simply testing the args parameter and avoiding calls to the Greet method when the parameter is invalid will have the same effect on the static checker. Build this code and see that all the assertions have been met, satisfying the static checker that this code is both correct and safe.
Well, that's it for this post. In closing, let me tell you that if you are targeting the 4.0 .NET Framework, you don't need to add any assembly references for the code shown here to work. The Code Contracts classes are part of the 4.0 Framework. However, if you want to target the 3.5 Framework instead, you'll need to find the Microsoft.Contracts assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and reference it to make this code build. In the next post in this series, we'll look at some interesting alternatives for specifying pre-conditions.

One of the primary roles of the United Nations information Centre (UNIC) Windhoek is to go into the field and educate young people about the work of the United Nations and ensure the understanding of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
Contributing to the development of the second instalment of the UN4U programme the UNIC team visited Gammams Primary School on 22 June 2018 to deliver another insightful presentation to over 400 learners, detailing how the "UN works for you". The programme is presented annually as a precursor to the UN Day celebrations that are set to take place on 24 October 2018. The programme includes an overview of the United Nations, its history, UN peacekeeping, UN organs, UN agencies present in Namibia and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A warm welcome was extended to the team by the learners and teachers. The presentation included a brief overview of how the UN came about, the role of the General Assembly, the Security Council, and UN peacekeeping missions and how it responds to security threats. Furthermore, programmes and specialised agencies of the UN were also highlighted to showcase the UNs response in different situations e.g. emergencies, disease outbreak, disasters, etc. This was followed by a short video screening segment in order to summarise the history of the United Nations.
The fundamental objective of the UN4U programme is to educate young learners on the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, emphasis is also placed on the UN's technical support to the Namibian government e.g. policy formulation, prevention of disasters (drought or floods). The active engagement of the learners involved the presenting of the 17 goals to their peers using the Sustainable Development Goals canvases as a teaching tool. The volunteers were awarded with SDG branded lanyards.
At the end of the session, a feedback session asked learners which Goals resonate with them and why. Their answers included the following: Quality Education (SDG4), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), End Poverty (SDG 1) and Partnership (SDG 17). SDG branded Bags were provided to those who provided feedback during this session.
It was a fun learning session for both students and teachers.

The graduate Engineers have come to dominate the Civil Services Exams with statistics of final selection backing them up as well. Traditionally, the coveted UPSC Civil Services Exam, also known as IAS Exam was a field dominated by Arts/Humanities background students.
However, with changing time and re-structuring of Civil Services Exam, there has been a visible rise in the number of candidates from Technical backgrounds, especially Engineers.
Are engineering graduates really capable in person to dominate earlier in Common Admission Test (CAT) and other MBA entrance exam and now in UPSC Civil Services Exam or the way of teaching and learning during their academics mold them to be successful for any exam or is the changed pattern of these exams supporting Engineers to dominate. Please discuss your inputs on our forum with others. Post your comments, queries and feedback on Forum.

Minerva Labs Unveils Install-Free Remote User Protection
March 2018 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Minerva Labs announced the release of the installation-free Remote User Protection solution for Mac and Windows systems that are not under the organization's direct control. These new capabilities allow enterprises to automatically activate malware protection throughout the entire remote session when connecting to corporate assets, without relying on the user's own security measures or requiring user interaction.
Remote User Protection gives administrators the ability to protect the enterprise from being affected by compromised endpoints owned by employees or of third parties, without the need to install or deploy additional security tools on these systems. The solution automatically validates the endpoint's state before allowing it to connect to enterprise assets and can automatically terminate the connection if the endpoint is deemed infected, even if the attack occurs after the connection was established.
Minerva's Remote User Protection is especially relevant to Macs, since Macs are often not managed by the enterprise even when they're allowed to connect to sensitive corporate systems and data. This has been a concern to enterprises who employ remote workers, as organizations might be unable to directly control the security configuration of these personal or contractor-owned endpoints and cannot mandate a standard corporate security stack. Companies are also concerned with BYOD scenarios, where systems connect to enterprise networks via local Wi-Fi.
With this new capability, Minerva's Anti-Evasion Platform customers using Macs or Windows can now benefit from the following protection:
Hostile Environment Simulation: To remain undetected, malware is often programmed to avoid security tools. Malware using these techniques will be disarmed with Minerva and the attack prevented.
Memory Injection Prevention – Organizations can block attacks that use memory injection techniques to hide malicious code in legitimate processes to evade detection by anti-malware products. By deceiving malware, Memory Injection Prevention blocks fileless attacks, process hollowing attacks and other injection methods, rendering these evasive techniques ineffective.
Ransomware Protection: Minerva can prevent malware from destroying the victim's files even if ransomware found a way to bypass other security defenses, protecting the organization from data loss and restore local files that ransomware might attempt to destroy.
Malicious Document Prevention: Blocks malicious actions initiated by document files, such as those that employ macros, PowerShell and other scripts. Malicious Document Prevention allows enterprises to utilize full capabilities of productivity suites such as Microsoft Office without the concern of human error.
Remote User Protection: Protect enterprise infrastructure from malware threats posed by remote users connecting to the enterprise, whose devices they do not directly control.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:126.96.36.199) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6
According to the bug on freedesktop.org (link below), Liberation Mono has an incorrect spacing definition for "Combining Diacritical Marks"; they should have zero space, and should render above the last letter, not the next one.
Paste following text with selected font:
Correct: accent above o
Incorrect: accent above g
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a string with a combining diacritic mark in Liberation Mono, e.g., "o̍g". Don't use gnome-terminal; it relies on vte, which doesn't handle combining characters. Use something like gedit; switching fonts will reveal the issue as the diacritical mark switches places.
Actual Results:
The diacritic appears one letter to the right of where it should be.
Expected Results:
The diacritic should appear in the proper place.
I'm using ttf-liberation 1.04.93-1 on Ubuntu Intrepid; I'm filing this as an upstream bug. If this should be filed elsewhere, please let me know.
I'm filing this because several monospace fonts have incorrect spacing for "Combining Diacritical Marks":
Created attachment 333380 [details]
Video of the issue being triggered.
This video shows the diacritic changing position when the selected font is changed. Note that the diacritic moves to the right when Liberation Mono is selected.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
More information and reason for this action is here:
I downloaded the source and, I think, got the current (1.05.1.20090630) version to display in gedit. (I removed ttf-liberation, then placed the compiled fonts in ~/.fonts and ran "fc-cache ~/.fonts".)
Can I ask why this bug was closed? I wasn't reporting it against a particular version of Red Hat or Fedora; I don't run a version of Red Hat or Fedora. I was under the impression that this was the upstream bugtracker for the Liberation fonts--is there somewhere else I should be submitting this?
I'm setting this to ASSIGNED, because Bugzilla won't let me change it to anything else other than CLOSED.
As I said, I don't run a Red Hat-based OS, and the latest version packaged for anything Debian-based is 1.04.93. I performed the same test as the one shown in the attached video above, switching between the default Monospace font (I think it's DejaVu Sans Mono, but all I know for sure is that it isn't Liberation Mono, because the diacritics display properly) and what I'm reasonably sure is the new version of Liberation Mono.
When I do this, as in the video above, the diacritic hops from the top of the 'o' (where it should be) to the top of the 'g' (where it should not be).
Here's an easier way to reproduce it. Download "og.txt" (which I'll attach shortly) and run the following commands (you'll need the pango dev package for pango-view):
$ pango-view og.txt --font="DejaVu Sans Mono"
[Accent appears over the 'o']
$ pango-view og.txt --font="Liberation Mono"
[Accent appears over the 'g']
Does this make the problem more clear? It should be pretty trivial to reproduce.
Created attachment 350439 [details]
Text triggering the issue.
Hi, is "o̍g" the only combination with this problem that spotted by you? I could see if I could fix, given that it is not hinting problem.
Confirmed problem exists in 1.05.1.20090630
Hi Adam, could you test again with 1.05.1.20090706 please?
I just retested this on Ubuntu Karmic, which includes ttf-liberation version 1.05.1.20090721-0ubuntu1; the problem is still present, as before. (Apologies for the delay; it's difficult for me to test new versions of the fonts easily, as I haven't been able to come up with an easier way of checking.)
Thanks. I have planned to spend more time on this font set.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '11'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:
I have checked on Dejavu Mono. To have the font behave like what you said, it involved 3 chars 'o', 'uni030d', 'g'. Then, it needs 3 GSUB lookup tables - 'ccmp', 'dlig' and 'mark' - to convert into what you expected.
In fact I have checked version 1.02 which is the initial archive, there had been no uni030D glyph ever existed. Hence, I would certainly Liberation Fonts do not support the languages that consist of 'o̍g'.
Yes, you are always welcomed to request for this, but this is not a bug but a feature request. Thank you very much. Please file a ticket at upstream tracker:
I am closing this because this is not a bug.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.
More information and reason for this action is here:
While checking more on this i found there are characters from Range U+0300 to U+033E need GPOS rules for combining with previous characters.
Liberation is not supporting any of this shape, so this is not a bug.
Please report Request For Enhancements (RFE) if need this support, give information i.e in which language this thing is required etc

Considering the immense benefits of keeping your website secure, many website owners are ditching HTTP for the safer HTTPS and it's great that you are thinking of doing the same too. However, you have to be careful to not lose all your web traffic as you move and in this article, you'll see what you must avoid and what you must do.
The Do's
- Make sure you 301 redirect all HTTP URL versions to the new HTTPS URLs without exception.
- Double check and be sure all your internal links point to the new HTTP URLs.
- Get your social media profiles updated with your new secure domain URL.
- Get your Google Analytics profile updated.
- Get your canonical tags updated and make sure they point to HTTPS URL versions.
- Get your sitemap updated with HTTPS URLs.
- Go to Bing Webmaster Tools and Google Search Console to set your preferred domain.
- Map out all your new HTTPS URLs on a page-to-page level with the aim of achieving an exact duplicate URL structure.
- Make sure every single rel=canonical tag in your HTML points to the HTTPS version and not the old HTTP one. Changing them to the new HTTPS URLs helps Googlebot determine which version of a page to rank and which to drop.
- Make sure all new social shares and external links point to the new secure version of your URLs. This is to ensure there is no confusion about which version of your site should be ranking. Google may get confused if you continue to get links to the HTTP site and you will lose out on the potential benefits of those links.
- Be sure to watch as your Webmaster Tools account post goes live, and to be certain you are aware if an issue pops up with your new secure website, you must keep monitoring it.
The don'ts:
- Don't use 302 redirects.
- Don't have the HTTP and HTTPS versions of your site live at the same time as it can result in link dilution even if you have canonical tags in place. Also, users will be able to see both versions of your site in SERPs and link to them which really isn't best practice.
- Don't use a wild card redirect or a global redirect to 301 redirect everything to your home page unless you want to destroy all your rankings in on swoop.
