Beyhadh Review: A Unique, Interesting Plot Coupled With A Good Cast Makes The Show Appealing
Show Title: Beyhadh
Channel: Sony TV
Timings: Monday to Friday 9 pm
Why can't Sony adapt finite series concept when most of its shows shut down after a few weeks run? If they intentionally start telecasting shows with limited episodes and a fixed ending, viewers might actually feel interested to tune into the channel.
Anyway, Sony TV's latest show Beyhadh is a much-awaited romantic thriller involving three central characters. The show brings you a fresh new pair of two popular telly actors Kushal Tandon and Jennifer Winget. Beyhadh is replacing Bade Bhaiyya Ki Dulhania. What I understood from the show's trailer is that Jennifer's character is slightly obsessive with grey shades to her while Kushal seems like a happy-go-lucky chap who is totally smitten by her. Let's see what the first episode had to offer and how much it lived up to the hype.
Beyhadh (2016)
Episode 1
The show starts with a grand entry and a 5-minute dance performance to Agneepath's Shree Ganesha Deva by Arjun (Kushal Tandon) at a Ganesh pandal (a temporary structure built to house a holy deity). As Arjun is dancing his best friend Saanjh (Aneri Vajani) waves out to him from the crowd to grab his attention. He notices her and joins her. He calls her dusky and teases her for being late. She corrects him saying that her name is Saanjh not dusky. He tries to make him leave with her but instead takes her to dance with him. As they are dancing we see a lady arrive in a car with bodyguards escorting her to the pandal. Arjun and Saanjh finish their dance and stand in front of Lord Ganesha offering prayers when Maya's (Jennifer Winget) bodyguards jostle Saanjh and she drops her puja ki thali (offering to God) at Lord Ganesh's feet. She trips and Arjun holds her while looking up at the person who pushed Saanjh. We see that Saanjh was standing on a cake of coloured powder and as she stumbles Maya fills in the footprints left behind by Saanjh. (I suppose the director wants to imply that Maya will be replacing Saanjh in Arjun's life.) Arjun is infuriated but Saanjh stops him from reacting. Maya walks closer to the idol and kneels down offering prayers. Arjun tells Saanjh that people who come here feel that they can get rid of their problems by just folding their hands before God but they do not realise that they have to 'move' their hands to actually get things done. Arjun looks at Maya and says that this woman is lucky as all she does in life is spend her father's money. Just then Saanjh sees a tear trickle down Maya's cheek. She tells Arjun about it and he says that here you will find two types of people visit the Lord one who is in trouble and the other who has put someone else in trouble and is here to cry fake tears. Saanjh then tells him to leave aside this stuff and see that the reason behind their visit to the pandal is complete as the Prasad they had brought to offer has been automatically offered at Bappa's (Lord Ganesh) feet. Arjun asks if she is happy and she gives an affirmative reply and looks like he is happy to see her happy. As Arjun bows before Bappa Saanjh is busy robbing secret glances at him. (She very evidently is in love with him and he predictably is unaware of her feelings.)
Saanjh and Arjun are walking down a street when Arjun asks her what she prayed for at the pandal. She tells him that she promised Bappa that if Arjun secures a job and sticks to it for at least six months then she will walk her way to Siddhivinayak temple. He tells her that for the next six months he will try his best to ensure that she fulfils her promise. Arjun drives Saanjh to an over bridge and all through the way she is constantly looking longingly at him. (Yaa yaa, we get it she adores him.)
On the bridge, Arjun and Saanjh discuss their dreams and ambition in life over a cup of tea. Saanjh tells him that she dreams of leading a simple life with her family while Arjun wishes to have all the good things in life and lead an extravagant lifestyle. He points out to a window of a skyscraper and tells her that one day he will own that very house. From the bridge, Saanjh notices a woman standing on a balcony looking down and pointing out to her she tells Arjun that there are some people who dream of things that make them lose sleep. (How could she know, from such distance, that the woman at the balcony is disturbed? Yeh to kuch bhi tha!) Arjun clicks the woman's photo (huh?) with his phone and tells her that dreams that do not keep you awake at night are just not worth it. We then see that the woman standing at the balcony is Maya who is crying silently lost in some thoughts. As Maya wipes the tears off her face her dupatta goes flying off the balcony and lands on Arjun's face who is now driving his jeep. (huh? Maya is wearing a netted blouse and pants then why was she holding the dupatta? Not that it was kept for drying or anything. Yeh toh sach mein kuch bhi tha!) The dupatta blocks his view and he is unable to drive properly losing control of his car. Saanjh pulls the dupatta off his face on time and they are saved from an accident. Saanjh is about to throw the dupatta when he holds her hand and keeps the dupatta telling her that it could be used to clean his jeep.
At Maya's home, Maya hears her mother call out to her and she rushes to her room. She opens the door to see her mother gulp down some alcohol. Her mother asks her opinion over her earrings and tells her that it is for Maya's father's and her silver jubilee wedding anniversary. She looks at Maya and asks her if her father will come this time. Maya does not reply and we know that her father won't be coming to see her and her mother. But Maya's mother still seems hopeful that this time around her husband will surely visit them.

At Saanjh's house, she quietly tries to sneak in when her parents catch her. Her mother scolds her for coming home late at night but Saanjh has her father on her side and she jumps straight on the bed trying to sleep. Her mother pulls her leg by teasing her with Arjun calling him her boyfriend. She says that Arjun and Saanjh have been friends since childhood and that she can talk to Arjun's mom about their marriage. Saanjh ignores their jokes and pretends to fall asleep.
At Arjun's house, his stepmother is shown waiting for him. She pointedly asks him the time and he replies that it is 3 am. She tells him that she was waiting for him to which he replies that he has the house keys and that there is no need for her to wait for him. She informs him that his younger brother Aayan has his exams and he will be waking up early to study. Arjun tells her that she need not worry about him and that he will sleep on the couch to avoid disturbing his brother.
As Arjun sleeps on the couch his phone starts buzzing. His brother Aayan is on the call and requests him to open the door. Arjun is surprised that Aayan is out and not in his room studying. He opens the door and asks Aayan where he was. Aayan tells him that he was at a party at which Arjun whacks him on the head saying that he got scolded by Aayan's mother because of him. Aayan corrects him that she isn't just 'his' mother but 'their' mother. Aayan walks into his room and invites Arjun too inside (Now this is funny! Aayan's room was open all this while and his nobody noticed that he is not in his room. Yeh toh hadh hogai!)

Next morning, Saanjh is under Arjun's building honking from her scooty as a signal to call him down. Sleepy Aayan gets disturbed by the honking and tells Arjun to go meet his 'heroine' (slang word for girlfriend). Arjun groggily corrects him that she isn't his heroine and that they are just good friends. Frustrated, Saanjh buzzes Arjun and shouts at him over the phone for being late for his job interview. Arjun is now wide-awake and rushes to the interview.
At the office parking lot, a guard asks Arjun (who is wearing a casual shirt with its top two buttons unbuttoned for an interview. Bhai yeh toh kuch zyada hi ho gaya!) to move his car as the parking spot belongs to someone else. Arjun bribes him and asks him to park his car for him as he is running late for some work. He throws his car keys at the guard but it is caught by another person. We see that the car keys is caught by Maya. Maya walks up to Arjun and tries to tell him that the parking spot is hers when he cuts her off mid-sentence and tells her to bribe the guard who will help her find a spot to park her car. Arjun tells her that he would've helped but he has someone waiting for him and cannot waste any more time and starts walking away when he hears his jeep's engine blare. He turns to see Maya driving his jeep. She parks his jeep at another spot. She then walks up to him and hands him his jeep's keys and the Rs 100 note that he had given the guard and tells him that she saved his money and advises him to put his money to better use next time. Arjun looks surprised and impressed at Maya who then strides off with her driver.
First Episode First Impression
I personally enjoyed the introduction scene of the three leads. It isn't a new idea to start a show with a song and dance but somehow I liked that the way the entire sequence was handled. Kushal and Aneri look good together. And it wasn't very hard to believe that Aneri's character is in one-sided love with Kushal's character. Jennifer Winget is one of the most prettiest faces on television and it is always a delight to watch her. After seeing the trailers I am guessing that she may not disappoint her fans and will do a good job at playing a sociopath.
What looked nice?
I liked the performances of the three central characters. Kushal has amazing screen presence and a bright wide smile that can light up your screen. Jennifer's stoic performance was spot on! Especially the way she looks at her mother. That look on her face conveyed so many things at once. She looks extremely beautiful and her pairing with Kushal is something to look forward to on the show. Aneri suits the role of a sweet young girl madly in love with her best friend. Her frequent gazes at Arjun make her look too adorable.
What did not look nice?
The show looks nice but there were too many mistakes in the first episode itself. The director has overlooked several minor details that viewers often spot or notice easily. From the first episode, it seems very likely that moving forward viewers might witness scenes that are too hard to digest. (Like the scene where Arjun clicks a picture of a random woman standing on her balcony. I am sure it has some significance in the story but still, it makes no sense whatsoever. Who does that in reality?) However, the director must not take audiences for granted and should not try to feed implausible stuff as it will only hamper the show no one else.
Though the first episode had a few loopholes (directionwise) I still think, for now, viewers can ignore that and focus on the larger picture. All three main actors on the show act well and look good together which is what can take the show forward along with its interesting storyline.

Welcome to our MIDS W209 final project page
By Juanjo Carin, Kevin Allen, Matt Hayes, and Rosalind Lee
We created this page to demonstrate how New York City bike share data can be visualized using Tableau. We chose Tableau because of its readily available mapping tools and the ease of collaboratively working on our project despite working asynchronously. All of the workbooks on this page are hosted on Tableau public, which imposes a 10 million row limit on source data. The row limit meant we sometimes had to aggregate data over longer time periods than desired, but we think you'll agree that the results are interesting nonetheless!
The first visualization allows you to see the most popular trips (i.e., checking a bike out and returning it later). You can change how many trips to show by adjusting the trips filter. Clicking a trip on the map will show you how its popularity changed over time. Plus you can see where bikes are coming from or going to by choosing a station in either the origins or destinations list. This dashboard should help understand when particular routes are more or less popular, thus anticipating seasonal demand or establishing a baseline for expected usage.
The second dashboard shows a comparison between where people typically begin trips and where they typically end trips. A larger diamond means there is a larger difference between the number of trips beginning at a station and the number of trips ending at that station. You can see how the flow of bikes to or from a station changes throughout the year. The list of stations on the right can be filtered to quickly identify the stations with the most uneven flow. This dashboard, when pointed at real-time data, would allow a Citi Bike employee to quickly discern where bikes are needed or should be moved.
The following visualization shows the time intervals in which each bike was rented. Hence, the X-axis corresponds to time (from 1st of June, 2014, to 31st of May, 2015), and the Y-axis corresponds to bike IDs (from 14,529 to 21,907, though not all numbers in between are used: there are records from 6,617 bikes rather than 7,379). Each bike is plotted with a different color, but neither the ID number nor the color are important: this visualization is intended to find overall patterns.
You can filter by ranges of both time and bike IDs, either using the sliders or typing the desired start and end values. The bikes in the Y-axis are not sorted by their ID number, but by the moment they were rented for the first time, with those that were rented later at the top (so you will notice that most of the bikes were already available the 1st of June, 2014, and some hundreds were added over the following 12 months).
The length of each bar is proportional to the duration of a rental, and the white "gaps" between bars are also proportional to the time that particular bike was not rented. This produces the effect of white columns every night, when most of the bikes are not rented, and a wider one the 28th of March, 2015, when for some reason the service was interrupted in every station during almost the whole day.
The map below shows, for the 12 months of analysis, the distribution of outgoing or incoming traffic. I.e., where the bikes that were rented in a particular station—"station under study," depicted in orange—went to (where they were returned ), or where they came from (where they were rented) when they were returned at that station. The size of the dots are proportional to the amount of bikes returned at or rented in the station in that position of the map; most of the bikes are rented for short trips so typically the biggest dots are around the station under study, not far from it. You will notice that the orange dot may have a certain size: this is because some users return their bike at the same station where they rented it. Consequently, that size does not change whether you select outgoing or incoming traffic.
You can select the station under study either by selecting it from the whole list, or by typing its name—or even its first characters. The bar below the map shows the whole number of bikes rented in or returned at the station under study, distinguishing between those that were returned at the same station (orange) or another (blue) for "outgoing" traffic, or those that were rented at the same station or another for "incoming" traffic. Hence, the total length of the bar is proportional to the sum of the areas of all dots.
In the following visualization you can select a station and a radius (in miles), and the map will show all the stations around the selected one, within the chosen radius (from 0.15 to 0.30 miles, in steps of 0.05 miles). Of course, the number of stations that are plotted depends on the radius you have selected. Each station is represented with a dot (a rhombus if it's the station of interest, and a circle for all its neighbors) whose size is proportional to the number of bikes that were rented in each station during the 12 months under study. The location of those stations is also shown in the small map to the right, to give a better idea of where they're located in New York City. The graphs on the lower right corner show how the total number of rentals in each station is distributed along the 12 months of study: you can see the exact values if you hover mouse over the lines of each graph.
Besides, if you hover the mouse over a station in the amp, you will see its name, the name of the station under study, the distance between them, and three percentages. The first one is the proportion of bikes rented in that station, compared to the total number of bikes rented in the depicted area (so all the stations shown sum up 100%); this percentage is also proportional to the size of the dot. The second percentage is the hypothetical rate if the amount of bikes rented had been equal in each station. Hence, it will be 25% if 4 stations are shown, 33.33% if 3 stations are shown, and so on. Finally, the third percentage, which is also shown in the map below the name of the stations, is the relative difference between the previous ones. The color of the dots depend on that percentage, varying from red (for negative differences) to gray (for differences close to zero) to blue (for positive differences). This allows us to determine if a station was more or less used than its neighbors. E.g., if four stations are shown in the map, the second percentage will be 25% for all of them: if the first percentages are 50%, 25%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, the third percentages will be 100%, 0%, -50%, and -50%, respectively, meaning that the number of bikes rented in each station was twice, equal, or half the number of bikes rented had the traffic been uniformly generated.
The visualization allows you to see the top bikes that need maintenance by week. You can select the week using the slider. To increase or decrease the number of bikes that need maintenance, select the chosen value from the TopN dropdown. The bikes that need maintenance are shown in red on the scatterplot. When a given plot is clicked the last station the bike was at is shown on the map labeled with the station name. The last station, total trip time, and number of trips for each bike per week is displayed in the table.
In this final visualization, you can examine the relationship between the weather and Citibike rider behavior. The x-axis displays the temperature in degrees Farenheit. The colors represent windspeed with red indicating high winds and blue indicating calmer wind conditions. Rainy days are represented by an umbrella and snowy days are represented by a snowflake. The charts on the left represent weekdays (Monday-Friday) whereas the charts on the right represent weekends. We chose to make this distinction because weekday riders are more likely to be commuters and weekend riders are more likely to exhibit recreational behavior. Weather data is sourced from the QCLCD dataset published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Dear Dad,
I've been sat here for an hour trying to think of someone else that I have missed, even remotely, so that I would not have to write another letter about you. I already tried writing about you on Day 11 and Day 12. That didn't go so well, and these are the only two days so far where I have failed to complete the daily challenge. I don't count that as having failed the challenge totally, as this experimental journey is not so much about writing 30 bloody letters, but instead about – well, it is about writing 30 letters, but not about the actual writing, more about the letters. Look, it's late, and I'm not making much sense. What the fuck ever.
Anyway, back to what I was saying. I was trying to think of someone who I have missed more than you. And I just can't. I have missed you since I was 13 years old. I have missed you for 20 fucking long years of feeling abandoned. The damage you've done… Paul, Dad, all I ever wanted was for you to be there for me. To love me. To encourage and guide me. I didn't want your money, I only wanted your time. ANd now it's too late, because you're kinda dead and I kinda said/did a lot of things around the time of your funeral which you probably wouldn't like. You might understand them, but you'd not like them. I was disrespectful to someone you loved. I was hurting. And I maybe was jealous that you loved her and you didn't love me. Or maybe you did. In your own way. Either way, it doesn't really matter now. The last time I saw you alive was in 2003. I do regret not keeping in touch. That is probably the first time I have admitted that. I always thought about you, and even now you're no longer alive, I think about you still.
I miss you. I love you. No matter what you did, or didn't do. No matter how our relationship panned out. I realise that I love you unconditionally. As only a son could love his father, or a father could love his son.
Who am I crying for? Am I crying for you? Or am I crying for me?
I promise that I will make you proud.
I miss you.

The summer season is fast approaching, and now you can get a nice swimsuit that simply belongs to the summer. Among the most popular are one-piece swimsuit , among whose features include shaping and tightening effect . You will love mostly ladies who have some extra kilos and she would like to hide in the water.
The advantage of buying swimwear on the Internet is that you can choose according to their wishes and cut the size you want. Shop assistants do not have to beg that you got back this and that, but you see it straight away. On the Internet swimsuit also cheaper and if the wrong size can be return within 14 days. Furthermore, e-shops offering richer than traditional stores, you can mix and pick anytime and anywhere.
Swimsuit shrink effect
See the offer swimsuits that are tightening and shaping here .
In stores now offers a rich, but that will diminish over time and the best drawstring swimwear (see http://www.homeagerly.com/index.php/too-embarrassed-to-wear-a-swimsuit/) will be redeemed. Swimsuits piece is not suitable only for older women, as some mistakenly believe, but absolutely for everyone, regardless of age.Nowadays they are producing fashionable cuts that figure to always look really great.
For overweight women are one-shaping swimsuits ideal, because hidden flaws, extra kilograms and even scars on the abdomen. Among Swimsuit ranks and unconventional monokini , which are somewhat bolder because they are different slashes and ornaments. Lately, it is a popular hit on the beach.
Swimsuit famously thick hide
Slimming Swimwear welcome not only overweight women, but even slim women, but they do not lean exactly according to their wishes. They help hide thickness and a woman make a special thanks to střihům colors and slimmer. What woman would have this right on the water did not welcome, though it will look štíhleji? Probably none.
It often takes the color that slims, is only black. But it does not apply at all, it has a significant impact haircut and generally dark in color. Moreover, it is necessary for best effect have a swimsuit having a tightening effect . With that because you look very good and everyone of you will think you've lost weight.
How do you buy them?
The most important thing when buying a swimsuit is to determine the right size , because once you have a swimsuit too loose, so shaping and tightening effect is not utilized. For these reasons, it is necessary to have the appropriate size. There are certain relatively simple to measure your degree (waist, hips circumference under the breasts, cups) and whichever size you choose.
Further take into account the color, although mostly this summer underwear made from a rather dark color, sometimes they also find interesting pattern or a different application. All this creates the fact that they are shaping and the figure is just suited.
Where can you get?
Slimming Swimsuit unfortunately not much available in the market. Usually only sell swimwear classic by which this effect is lacking. Fortunately, the Internet can be quite a lot to get such pieces. One such e-shop, see for example here . They have a one-piece swimsuit shaping of Italian designers. The advantage is that the price is not high, and it is to do stunts in the latest fashion.

The Services team works under the premise that anyone can offer software. It's how you implement them that counts. They don't consider the job done until your software is fully functional and you and your employees feel completely at ease with it.

Adult Cat Care
Although considered independent pets, cats are reliant on their owners for food, shelter, veterinary care and companionship. They can live for more than 20 years, so before you decide to give a home to a cat, please think about whether you are prepared for this commitment.
Settling your cat in
For the first two days, keep your new cat in one room. This gives the cat the security it needs and helps the animal get used to you and your home more quickly. When you go into the room, sit still and talk gently to the cat, but do not force yourself on the pet – allow the cat to come and investigate you so there are no feelings of being threatened. Make sure the cat has food, water and a litter tray, and allow time to settle in.
After a few days, begin to introduce your cat to the rest of the house slowly, one room at a time. Bolder cats will come out at once and immediately start exploring, whereas the more timid ones will take longer. During this time make sure doors and windows are kept closed as cats can get through the smallest gaps!
For further information, see our advice on moving house and travelling with cats and introducing your cat to other cats or dogs.
Diet for your cat
There is a huge variety of cat food available in pet shops and supermarkets. The easiest way to provide a balanced diet is to feed a premium quality complete dry cat food. Never feed dog food, as cats and dogs have different nutritional needs.
Adult cats should be fed twice a day or, if you are feeding dry food, you may leave food available at all times. This is fine for cats that do not overeat, but if your cat starts to gain weight you will need to restrict their access to food.
Whatever you feed your cat, it is essential that there is an ample supply of fresh, clean drinking water constantly available. Cats have no need for milk after they have left their mother – in fact, milk is not tolerated well by many cats and can cause diarrhoea.
For further information, see the our advice on keeping your cat in shape.
When to let your cat go outside
Your cat will need to be kept inside for at least three weeks to give sufficient time to bond with the people and other animals in the house. The cat should regard your house as a secure place before being let out, or you may find the cat does not return when you open the door.
Cats must have completed their vaccinations before being allowed outside, and kittens should not go outside until neutered (approximately five to six months of age).
If possible, choose a warm dry day to encourage your cat out for the first time and ensure the animal is hungry by delaying meal time by a few hours. Take your pet outside and let the cat walk around but stay in attendance, eventually taking the cat back inside to be fed.
Once confident, the cat will start to go off for longer periods and eventually you can give free access via a cat flap. Try to keep your cat in at dusk and dawn as these are the times that cats are at most risk of being run over and also when they present the greatest risk to wildlife such as birds. If you put a collar on your cat, make sure it is a safety collar that will pull off easily if the cat becomes entangled.
A microchip is the best way of permanently identifying your cat. This is injected under the skin and contains a unique number registered on a database. If your cat is lost and handed in as a stray, the chip can be read with a special scanner and the cat returned to you quickly.
Toys and scratching posts
Play is an essential part of your cat's life and will encourage a bond between you as well as helping to keep your cat fit and healthy.
Many different cat toys are available from pet shops but most cats will play with anything that is light and small. Toys filled with "catnip" hold a special attraction for many cats.
A scratching-post inside the house is helpful in protecting your furniture, even if your cat is able to go outside. These should be covered in material that is not found anywhere else in the house (for example, string rather than carpet) so that your cat does not learn to scratch other items such as your carpet.
Cats that live permanently indoors
It is not really appropriate to keep a cat only indoors when it has previously been able to go outside. However, some cats with disabilities may need to remain inside for their own safety.
Indoor cats will require less food than a cat which has outdoor access. You will also need to encourage the cat to exercise more by playing with your cat.
If you have a garden, you could provide the cat with a large enclosed run where the cat can exercise. This may also be a useful option if you own a timid cat that will not go outside through fear of encountering the other cats in your neighbourhood.
Scratching-posts are essential to the indoor cat, otherwise the cat will use your furniture to clean and sharpen its claws. You should also ask your vet to check if the cat's claws need clipping.
All cats need to be groomed regularly. This keeps fur and skin in good condition, enables you to check for any signs of ill health, and helps build the relationship between you.
Long-haired cats need to be groomed thoroughly every day to remove all tangles, otherwise they will quickly become matted. If your cat is not used to being groomed, this activity needs to be introduced gradually. Keep the sessions short until the cat begins to accept it. Start with areas of the body where the cat enjoys being stroked and give food rewards for good behaviour.
There is no reason to routinely bathe your cat as this will cause distress and also may damage the coat. Occasionally your vet may recommend a shampoo to treat specific skin problems – if you need to use a prescription shampoo, follow the vet's advice carefully and use it only as frequently as recommended.
Veterinary insurance
Animal welfare charities receive calls every day from people who cannot afford to pay their vets' fees and who are asking for help. Charities have only a limited budget with which to provide that help.
It is easy to suddenly find yourself with a large and unexpected bill if your cat is involved in an accident or requires an operation. It is advisable, therefore, to take out veterinary insurance before your cat becomes ill.
The three diseases that your cat should be vaccinated against are cat flu, feline enteritis and feline leukaemia. Your vet will advise you on when these vaccinations should be done, and how frequently your cat needs boosters.
Roundworms and tapeworms are the most common types of worms found in cats. Routine treatment against these worms is essential to keep your cat healthy. Do not be tempted to buy pet shop worming treatments. Instead, always consult your vet for advice.
Prevention is better than cure where fleas are concerned, so consult your vet about routine treatments to keep your cat healthy and free from fleas. Many owners find products to dab on are easier and less stressful to administer than sprays. Shampoos to tackle fleas are not particularly effective and should be avoided unless prescribed by your vet.
If your cat has fleas, you will also need to treat your home to remove flea eggs and prevent new fleas hatching. The cat's bedding should be thoroughly washed or replaced and the floors and carpets of the house should be treated too. Your vet can provide you with a spray for use around the house.
Read more about preventing fleas on your cat here.
Ear mites
Ear mites are common in cats and can cause intense irritation, although often there are no symptoms. In severe cases the ear canal can become blocked and infection follows. The mites can also be passed on to other cats or dogs in your household so, if you have a dog persistently troubled by ear mites, your vet may want to check your cat's ears as the potential source of the mites.
A male kitten can be castrated from the age of five months. This is necessary because a mature tomcat will spray your house (his territory) with strong smelling urine to mark his boundaries. He will also get into fights and could be injured or become bitten and scarred. During long periods of time away from home your cat is likely to father many litters of unwanted kittens and is at risk of being injured on the roads whilst out looking for a mate.
A female cat can be neutered from four months or younger, as advised by your vet, to prevent her from having kittens of her own. There is nothing to be gained from letting your cat have one litter of kittens before she is spayed. If you do so, not only will you have the worry of finding kind and caring homes for the offspring, but you will also be adding to the already massive problem of unwanted kittens and cats.

Trillanes faces arrest as Duterte voids his amnesty
Updated 17:42 PM PHT Tue, September 4, 2018

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, September 4) — The justice department on Tuesday filed for a warrant of arrest against Senator Antonio Trillanes after President Rodrigo Duterte voided the amnesty granted to him in 2011 for trying to topple the government over a decade ago.
It also asked a Makati court to issue a hold departure order against the senator.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the police and military must obey Duterte's order to arrest Trillanes because his amnesty was found to be void from the beginning.
Once arrested, the former naval officer would be sent back to the jail where was detained prior to the granting of amnesty by former President Benigno Aquino III.
In an ambush interview in the Senate, Trillanes called the order "stupid" and accused Solicitor General Jose Calida as orchestrating the move which had "no basis."
"Si Calida gumawa nito. Gustong-gusto ng amo niyang si Duterte. Makikita niyo gaano ka-duwag si Duterte. Tira ito ng takot... Itong si Mr Duterte ay isang diktador. Kritiko ikukulong," the Senator said.
"Hindi ako tatahimik. Lalo akong gaganahan... Mr. Duterte, hindi ako takot sayo. Darating din ang araw mo, Mr. Duterte."
Just the same, Trillanes said he was ready to face arrest.
"Kung ipapa-aresto, eh 'di sasama ako... Hindi ako magtatago, definitely... I will not resist arrest. I will not escape," he declared.
READ: Trillanes, officials decry 'political persecution' in voiding of amnesty
Trillanes said he would stay in the Senate while his lawyers studied what legal steps to take. Senators agreed to place the lawmaker under the custody of Senate President Tito Sotto, who vowed not to allow an arrest within the Senate premises.
Duterte signed Proclamation Order No. 572 on August 31. It covered only Trillanes and excluded other individuals granted amnesty for committing similar acts.

The order said the amnesty granted to Trillanes was void from the start because he did not comply with the minimum requirements to qualify under the Amnesty Program. It said Trillanes never admitted guilt for the coup attempts, failed to take an oath and formally apply for amnesty.
Trillanes denied this, insisting that he wouldn't have received immunity if he failed to file necessary papers. He said Duterte's move was a "clear case of political persecution."
Commission on Human Rights Chairperson Chito Gascon, a lawyer, said amnesty should not be revoked because the President would not have granted it without all the requirements and the approval of Congress.
"Kung minsan ka nang nagbigay ng amnesty at tinanggap mo ito, dapat po ay tapos na yan," he stressed.
But Guevarra said there are no records of Trillanes' supposed application for amnesty and he dared the senator to show proof.
Trillanes provided the evidence in a privilege speech in the afternoon. Before his colleagues in the chamber, the senator showed pictures of his amnesty application, his certificate of amnesty, and a video where he admitted to his guilt.
During the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Trillanes was involved in three coup attempts: the so-called Oakwood mutiny in July 2003, the Marines stand-off in February 2006, and the Manila Peninsula incident in 2007.
Rep. Gary Alejano, who is a member the Magdalo group like Trillanes, backed the senator.
"Paano bibigyan ng amnestiya kung hindi kami nag-comply sa application? Gobyerno ang humahawak ng records. Pwede nilang hindi hanapin o iwala. There was an admission of guilt kasi kasama 'yan sa checklist," the congressman said.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the amnesty was given as a political accommodation of the previous administration, saying it was granted on a silver platter.
"The amnesty granted to him was political. He was friendly with the previous administration. That's why he was granted amnesty without compliance with the requirements set by law. Yung mga panahon na iyon, naswerte lang siya na kakampi niya yung dating presidente, at hindi na naginsist doon sa literal compliance with the provisions for the amnesty," he said in a media briefing in Israel.
Guevarra said the order was final, but Trillanes could appeal it. He also said the senator could be arrested since he did not have immunity in this case which was "not a judicial matter."
Calida said there was no need for a congressional concurrence in this case, but constitutional law professor Tony La Viña said an amnesty could be voided by a unilateral act of the President.
"It's unilateral without any factual determination for the revocation of an amnesty," he told CNN Philippines.
Guevarra denied the President's order harassment and intended to silence Trillanes, one of Duterte's staunchest critics. He said the review of the amnesty was discussed as far back as 2013. He said it might have been reviewed by the Office of the Solicitor General, but it was unclear to him if it was Calida himself who conducted the review.

Even with a VIP ticket gaining me an extra hour, I barely put a dent on the selection of fine food and wine at the 16th annual Taste Washington.
The two day event is the largest single-region wine and food event in the United States, so it comes as no surprise that dilly dallying isn't the most strategical approach.
Upon being reminded that it was occuring soon, I quickly planned my weekend excursion across the border; saying that I was eager to explore Washington's wine and sample tasty bites from more than 65 of the top restaurants in Seattle and the Puget Sound region was an understatement.
First step: find transportation.
I had a few options in this department including renting a vehicle, borrowing my boyfriend's car or taking the train, Bolt Bus or Greyhound.
Bolt Bus is the cheapest of the choices but it didn't work with my schedule so I opted for the Greyhound. There was no WiFi but it was still a decent price and came with an entertaining bus operator named Thomas. For $48 after tax I had secured a ride to and from Seattle, leaving at 7:50AM Saturday and returning at 1:45AM Sunday.
It had only been six months since I was last in Seattle, however I was excited to return, utterly in love with Seattle people, the cute fish mongers at Pike Place Market, the plethora of cafes and eateries and, of course, the ultimate tasting event!
After being dropped off at the bus depot I meandered into a Starbucks to ask for directions, preferring the human guidance over the GPS guidance. When I was told to take a bus because it was too far to walk I chuckled, I'm from Vancouver, after all, I walk everywhere!
After a half an hour of walking I arrived at Century Link to discover two lines. Although daunting, they moved quickly and I was shortly equipped with a wine glass and a tray for food.
As I scanned the room from the entrance I realized that I was ill-prepared and overwhelmed. Instinctively I roved to the left of the room and found myself in front of Walter Dacon's Syrahs, a pulled pork sandwich from McMenamin's, and Yellow Leaf's pancake 'n' bacon cupcake.
While many would consider this a meal, I knew my day of indulgence was just beginning.
As I wandered from booth to booth, I was enticed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Bordeaux blends, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Price points of the showcased wine ranged from $9 to $89 and was sourced from many regions in Washington State. Many came from Walla Walla, a city famous for their vast wine country boasting 100 wineries and a diverse collection of varietals.There was also a slew of wines from the Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Horse Heaven Hills, Wahluke Slope and Red Mountain. The less represented vineyards were located in Lake Chelan, Ancient Lakes, Snipes Mountain and Washington State.
While I enjoyed many of the wines, one of my favorites was Lauren Ashton's 2009 Syrah.
Some wines were memorable for other reasons than their taste per se, whether for their enthusiastic Vintners or the stories behind their wines. One of these was the Vestige red blend from Newhouse Family Vineyards, a wine dedicated to the late Alfred Newhouse. While sipping on it I was let in on a "secret" that their next wine will most likely be an Aligoté: dedicated to the mother, and coined "Cottontop" in honor of her airy personality and her curly, white-blonde hair.
Thrilled by the selection of wine (more than 800 different kinds), I was blown away after overhearing a young woman say that she "didn't really like wine", until I heard the glee in her voice as she bit in to the Ahi Tuna Melt from Tulalip Bay Fine Dining.
While many were there for the wine, there were just as many attending for the food. Fortunately for me, I love both so with a smile spanning from ear to ear I zipped around the room, chatting with wine reps and Chefs as I drank their wine or ate what they had prepared.
Sous Chef Brent Clarkson (shown above) from Tulalip Resort Casino was particularly chatty and extremely proud of his beautifully presented marinated Beef Tenderloin Negamaki.
Out of the 65 participating restaurants and 200 participating wineries I experienced roughly 50% of them and didn't even have time to check out the Viking Chef Stage. This was a shame because such culinary talents as Pastry Chef Kim Mahar of Seattle Restaurant RN74 and Chef Bobby Moore of Barking Frog (among many others) were demonstrating and preparing dishes for the crowd. Luckily of the 3000+ people attending I'd like to think that collectively we covered everything in the room, including these demonstrations.
When it neared 5PM I did one last lap of the room, tasting wines I passed by in haste, while also getting a chance to try some local ciders; it's surprising how four hours flew by as I socialized, swirled and snacked. While I was sad for the event to be over, I was thrilled to walk out of the room into a beautiful, bustling city enveloped by sunshine and spring air.

PUNJAB, India - "I am getting financial support for my education from the government, whereas my brother, who is studying in the same school as me, is not eligible for that," says Guneet*, an adolescent girl currently enrolled in seventh standard at a government school in Punjab, India, near the Pakistani border.
"When I was 12-years old, my family organized a ceremony to transition my sisters and myself to become women," says Kakenya Ntaiya, a member of Kenya's Maasai tribe. "I was first because I was the oldest. I was told to open my knees, so I opened them.
In 2014, UNFPA launched Action for Adolescent Girls (AAG), a 12-country initiative aiming to empower some of the world's most marginalized girls, in partnership with the UN Foundation. One of its projects is in Udaipur district, India.
On a cold Saturday afternoon at a packed cultural fair in New Delhi, hundreds of visitors check out stalls selling traditional arts and crafts, clothes, furniture and food.
In India, 47 percent of women age 20-24 married before they were 18. In rural, tribal regions of Udaipur district, the rate of child marriage is 56 per cent. Few of the area's girls are enrolled in school, and most are expected to work on their homes and land from dawn to dusk - like their mothers and grandmothers before them.
Women and girls need to be at the core of disaster risk reduction, given that they often bear the brunt of climate change and hazards such as storms and floods, United Nations experts tasked with monitoring implementation of a landmark UN convention on ending discrimination against women heard today.

Okay, here we go. Comments made as I read:
Overall, I don't think this will do well on the mainsite in its current state. The main issue I have with it is the vague and shakey grasp of computing… are you familiar with how "software" works? How can you translate that into a feasible organic brain equivalent? Currently, the explanation is too vague and I'm having a hard time visualizing whatever's going on.
Before you try fixing this, I recommend asking for some help in the Research and Resources forum. The experts there can help you find the correct way to learn more about what you want to describe.
The core idea itself is a little bland, to be honest. The "it makes you more self-aware" bit sounds like a compulsion, which we have a lot of items for already. I can get behind a sort of "mental app" or "add-on that's in your head", but you're definitely going to need to work on your professional writing to make sure the article sounds like a scientist wrote it.
What is your current grade school level? Have you taken any AP English-level writing courses yet?

Healthy Consuming Suggestions To Reside Longer And Lose Weight
INTRODUCTION:-Health care quality is in the eye of the beholder. In this, the first objective is to secure the health care. It refers to the precise supply of care from the point of patients first signaling a want to be thought-about for potential therapy. Chris Chocola, the president of Club for Development, a political motion committee that bankrolled lots of the Republican campaigns, pointed to the tax cuts of Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas and the confrontations that Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan had along with his state's public worker unions as models for the Republican Congress. Mr. Brownback is now coping with budget deficits, however Mr. Chocola noted that the governor was re-elected.
To date, if you have not acquired any invitation to evaluation a paper independently and wish to be one, listed here are some ideas. This happens when you haven't any corresponding authorship, and the journal editor will not be able to find you. A technique is that you just request your mentor to write to the journal editor recommending that you have the power to overview papers, and you've got finished so with him/her. The editor could conform to your mentor request and ship you the paper to evaluation.

In today's monologue, I address the question of the soul. Do souls exist? Do I have a soul? If souls do exist, well, what the hell ARE they?
I believe, if humans do not have souls, then we have something else, or rather, we ARE something else that is similar to a soul. This is founded on the notion of observing thoughts.
One of the most profound things I was told was that I wasn't my mind. I still think about this. Since I am able to observe my thoughts, watch them occur in my mind, then I am not my thoughts. I cannot be what I can observe. This would create an illogical loop of identity, that I could be anything I can observe. But this premise seems commonly understood. You are the deepest part of you that you can't see. When you can see no more, there's an invisible you in a mirror. Probably waving.
If I am not my thoughts, which most might consider the core of my being if they do not believe in the soul, then what am I?
I must be SOMETHING besides a body, for I can construct dreams and engage in them, while knowing this is happening. If I can participate in dreams, then some otherness in me must be the fleeting control center behind my eyes. What I feel and consider is something real, not something in compartments that I experience secondhand that only effects the surface of who I am.
The soul that feels the experiences could be anything. I honestly don't have the faintest clue what it is. Scarier than nightmares, to think about what you REALLY are and know that, even if the soul can be proven to exist, you will never know what it ACTUALLY is. We will never know what we actually are.
But one can hope. And I believe the soul to be something profound and beautiful, like an aurora that forces our hearts to beat, or fragments of something supernatural, like a ghost split into pieces like snowflakes that wander through our veins.
I have to have a soul, or an otherness. Without it, I find it difficult to separate myself from robots. And then I wonder if we aren't just some programmed essence in a lab. If we have no souls, maybe all we really amount to is the electrical signals in our brain that match a control center somewhere we'll never be.
For the sake of belief in myself and others, I have a soul the same as everyone does. With it, I maintain emotional connection with others. Without it, anything I do seems likely to disappear as quickly as I discovered it in the first place. Or perhaps a simpler answer: if I can contemplate the existence of my soul, might this be enough to prove that it's there?

Cheongnyong Bisang (KOR)
2011 Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding
16.1 hands
Volponi x Miss Alwuhush by Alwuhush
11 starts-5 wins-0 seconds-0 thirds for earnings of $550,577
Last raced: 10/05/14
A champion at two and the winner of the first leg of Korea's Triple Crown at three, Doc is all class and he knows it. But don't let his proud carriage intimidate you, he is all business under saddle and there isn't a harder working horse on the ranch. This horse has afterburners and can run down even the fastest cow in the pasture. He is a rush to ride!
We could write a lot more about what we think of this amazing horse, but this article written by our good friend, Jen Roytz, for the "Paulick Report", does it best:
"On a loose rein we rode for hours through fields, up and down the foothills and over trails and service roads. With an uphill build and walk that's more like a march, it was obvious the horse likes to work, but impressive that he only offered what I asked for, never challenging me to do more (or less). We stopped to look out over vistas and walked along cliff edges. Doc Ruel was unflappable.
He stood patiently when I wanted to stop to take photos, had plenty of zip when we booked it through the fields or up hills and was as sure-footed as they come going up and down the undulating terrain. He also didn't flinch when a mule deer jumped out from the woods and crossed our path, nor when a school bus came bouncing down the dirt road we were riding along at one point and I asked him to jump across a fairly large ditch to get away from its path.
When the ride was done, Doc Ruel and the other horses hopped right back into the trailer, as calm as can be. Talk about trail and trailer broke!"
You can read her full article about riding Doc here: http://www.paulickreport.com/features/aftercare-spotlight/long-trip-for-a-trail-ride/
Currently, Doc Ruel is located in Thomasville, Georgia and has been hunted with the Live Oak Hounds with Gretchen Bickel and will continue to hunt through the 2018 season. Price REDUCED to $10,000.!! Contact Dale at (605) 569-2249 for details or to arrange a test ride. SOLD

Dear Gravy Fans,
About a month ago, I decided to move over to my own domain. I am now the proud owner of a dot com. As with any move, it took longer than I had expected, I had more stuff than I thought I had, and I had to call on people to help me.
I tried really hard to not make drastic changes. I wanted it to feel as comfortable and easy to use as the old place. So, without further ado………kick off your shoes, pull up a chair, grab a drink, and settle in.
A big thank you to ALL of my readers. If my readership had not reflected growth, I never would have even attempted this. Do not forget to add this new location to your bookmarks or favorites.
Please feel free to drop me a line once in a while. I love hearing from my readers. Thank you again!
Your Gravy Girl,
