Boost Your Size, Strength and Leanness With…
Supplements That Work
Top Researcher Cuts Through the B.S.
and Shows You Which Ones Really
Pack On Muscle and Melt Off Fat
My disgust has reached critical mass. I've watched the nutrition supplement industry freefall into a pit of deception. It's now overrun with lying money grubbers and sociopathic hucksters who don't give a damn about you. If you use products to accelerate your results in the gym, you've no doubt been a victim. There's so much deception in the supplement industry that it borders on criminal—and I decided to do something about it so that people like you who train hard can stop wasting money and use what actually works.
I'm Jerry Brainum. You may recognize my name from the hundreds of research-based articles I've written for bodybuilding and fitness magazines since the early '80s. I've been a science writer, researcher and lecturer for more than 30 years.
I've also been a nutrition consultant for many pro and amateur bodybuilders as well as professional and Olympic athletes in various sports. All of those athletes depended on me for one thing: To cut through the B.S. and get them using the key supplements that work.
The bottom line is that I am NOT affiliated with any supplement company. That means I can tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have no hidden agenda or magic potion to sell you and no one to censor me.
My mission is to show you what works and why. I want you to stop wasting your money at the hands of swindlers. You work too hard. You should use only the things that can truly build muscle and burn fat so that you achieve the spectacular results you deserve for your efforts in the gym.
That's why I put together Natural Anabolics, an e-book that defines and explains the nutrients, compounds and supplements that can accelerate muscle growth and fat loss without drugs. Here are some of what it includes:
- Anabolic Fact and Fiction—the truth about protein; which type is best, how much do you really need, and when should you use it (or do you even need it?)
- Muscle Energetics With a Size Side Effect—includes the scientific loading method for key muscle-cell volumizers so you get bigger size and strength results
- Pump, Growth and Fat Burning—the specific nutrients that enhance blood flow; these supersaturate your muscles and also transport fat to the nearest exit
- Up Your Hypertrophic Hormone—anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones; here's how to boost your natural anabolic hormones that your body produces without endangering your health so you get bigger, stronger and leaner faster
- Fat to Muscle and Antiaging—naturally stimulate the mother hormone that power packs your anabolic profile; it also shifts your fat-burning engine into overdrive
- Anabolic Dynamite—includes the latest research on the single isolated compound that scientists say is the key to all muscle growth; take it for max gains
- The Natural Anabolics Supplement Schedule—exactly what to use and when to use it to supercharge your results in the gym (printable reference chart)
I've put the key points throughout each chapter in bold type so you can easily speed read for the critical info. And I end each and every chapter with a short section on applications and recommendations—they are quick summaries and how-to-use guides you'll refer to again and again.
PLUS, for a limited time you get the Muscle Guru Interviews e-book free when you order Natural Anabolics. It contains Q&As with some of the top names in effective mass-building methods, including multi-rep rest/pause, or DC; Power/Rep Range/Shock; Positions of Flexion; and X Reps. There's even a special nutrition-science Q&A with Jerry Brainum.
(You get BOTH e-books for the price of one—limited-time offer)

Scorpions Drummer James Kottak Back in U.S. After Jail Time in Dubai
Scorpions drummer James Kottak is back on U.S. soil after having to spend time in a Dubai jail following an incident on a flight from Moscow to Dubai. The rocker was arrested for being drunk, making derogatory remarks to passengers on board his flight and exposing himself to others at the airport.
The drummer was eventually convicted for insulting Islam, flashing his middle finger at the passengers and consuming alcohol, which is illegal in Dubai. He was sentenced to a month in jail, which made him unavailable for Scorpions touring. For his part, Kottak admitted to drinking alcohol but denied that he had insulted Islam, had flashed his middle finger and did not moon people within the airport. He did state that he did lift his shirt to show a tattoo on his back but did not drop his trousers. He was fined $2,000 dirhams (approximately $545) for drinking alcohol without a license.
In his place, the band moved quickly to secure Mark Cross to handle drums at their April 5 show at the 2014 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. Swedish drummer Johan Franzon filled the void for the band's remaining dates.
In a new message posted at the Scorpions Facebook page, the band stated, "James Kottak boarded a plane out of Dubai and arrived in the U.S. last night. He will have to find the time to sort out his problems … Scorpions."
The terse statement issued by Scorpions does not state whether or not Kottak will immediately reclaim his position behind the drum kit with the group.

Many a time we come across a scenario where we pass a comma or any other character delimited string to stored procedure and in stored procedure we want to fetch data from other tables based this delimited string. We can't use this delimited string directly in the in clause as Sql treats it as one string. So, the solution for this is to get a table by splitting the delimited string by the delimiter character and then join this resultant table data with other table columns.
In Sql Server we have mechanism where we can take table as a input parameter from the application code. So if you like to pass a table from your code with multiple rows instead of passing a delimited string to stored procedure and splitting it in SP, then you may like to read the article Table-Valued Parameters in Sql Server. But I would prefer passing the comma delimited string to stored procedure and split it in the SP.
In Sql Server we have multiple approaches to achieve this. This article lists couple of them. Please let me know which one you use and if you use some-other approach let me know, so that we can help the Sql Server developer community
APPROACH 1: Sql Server 2016 STRING_SPLIT function
STRING_SPLIT is one of the new built-in table valued function introduced in Sql Server 2016. This table valued function splits the input string by the specified character separator and returns output as a table.
Below example shows how we can use STRING_SPLIT function to splits the comma separated string.
SELECT * FROM STRING_SPLIT('Basavaraj,Kalpana,Shree',',')
To know in detail about the STRING_SPLIT function you may like to read the article: STRING_SPLIT function in Sql Server 2016
APPROACH 2: Using While Loop and Sql String Functions
We can crate a table valued function like the below which is using WHILE loop and Sql String functions like CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING to split the string. This should work in all the versions of Sql Server.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].StringSplit ( @String VARCHAR(MAX), @Separator CHAR(1) ) RETURNS @RESULT TABLE(Value VARCHAR(MAX)) AS BEGIN DECLARE @SeparatorPosition INT = CHARINDEX(@Separator, @String ), @Value VARCHAR(MAX), @StartPosition INT = 1 IF @SeparatorPosition = 0 BEGIN INSERT INTO @RESULT VALUES(@String) RETURN END SET @String = @String + @Separator WHILE @SeparatorPosition > 0 BEGIN SET @Value = SUBSTRING(@String , @StartPosition, @SeparatorPosition- @StartPosition) IF( @Value <> '' ) INSERT INTO @RESULT VALUES(@Value) SET @StartPosition = @SeparatorPosition + 1 SET @SeparatorPosition = CHARINDEX(@Separator, @String , @StartPosition) END RETURN END
Below example shows how we can use the above function to split the comma delimited string
SELECT * FROM StringSplit('Basavaraj,Kalpana,Shree',',')
APPROACH 3: Using XML
We can crate a table valued function like the below which is using Sql XML feature to split the string.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].StringSplitXML ( @String VARCHAR(MAX), @Separator CHAR(1) ) RETURNS @RESULT TABLE(Value VARCHAR(MAX)) AS BEGIN DECLARE @XML XML SET @XML = CAST( ('' + REPLACE(@String, @Separator, '') + '') AS XML) INSERT INTO @RESULT SELECT t.i.value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') FROM @XML.nodes('i') AS t(i) WHERE t.i.value('.', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') <> '' RETURN END
Below example shows how we can use the above function to split the comma delimited string
SELECT * FROM StringSplitXML('Basavaraj,Kalpana,Shree',',')

And I know there are probably thousands more "Great Granny's sayings" or "Dad's sweet one-liners" that could swell the list to way more than any ten step guide could contain but hey it's a ten step guide, it couldn't possibly have any more because then it wouldn't be one; it would be a mockery of both the title and all the other ten step guides out there.
If, however, you have any fab parent's good advice, serious or hilarious leave 'em in the comments. That way it can fulfill the brutally strict criteria which was set up for all ten step guides by the globally powerful TSG guild; an organization that will, with a zeal and relish rarely seen in this politically correct age, actually drum members out for even the slightest transgression! They're almost religious about it!
Anyway, the point of this guide which, as I may have mentioned, consists of ten steps, is to, hopefully, help us all through our collective daily diet of commercials, scammers, manipulators, salesmen, government spin, religions & their faithful followers, con men, corporations and family; not to mention, those special family members with secrets, or who are secrets! No names, no pack drill (shhh).
So, bush sufficiently beaten around and dilly-dallying complete, here it is, I give you...
a ten step guide of Hoodwink avoidance techniques.
1. Listen with your head, not your heart
2. Hear ONLY the words that are spoken
3. Assume nothing
4. Interpret nothing without comprehending
5. Have nothing interpreted for you
6. Trust nobody's opinion
7. Expect everybody to have their own agenda
8. Expect your government to screw you over
9. Expect to die
10. Make up your own mind up about the quality of advice given in ten step guides
11. Not all ten step guides go up to eleven
originally, supplied by Buddha.(Quote)
Repackaged for your pleasure by my head.
Oh shit! Eleven! The ten step guide guild's gonna flip!
Naaarghh, I hear the drums! What a thing to get crucified for!
Why did I ever start this ten step guide thing anyway?
Oh no, they're at the door.
What do you mean it's not so much because there are eleven?
What? Of course they're steps!...? I mean, aren't they?
Well, I didn't know! really! No, no, are the cuffs really necessary?
Hey, wait, I'm still in my slippers!
Where are you taking me?
Will someone call my lawyerrr....... ??

There are no upcoming dates for this event.
Showing up to commitments, appointments, and life, in general, can be one of our greatest challenges in creating the life we desire. Often, what lies behind our lack of follow-through is not a lack of time management skills or drive, rather it is self-limiting beliefs about our worth and who we are in the world. Join us, for this 1-hour workshop focusing on strengthening reliability and commitment.
You will learn and practice how to:
● Use a simple and powerful self-coaching model
● Understand the importance of thoughts
● Manage self-limiting beliefs that keep unhelpful habits in place
● Move towards your desired life
We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.

Smartwatches have come a long way since the early days where a few neat features were all they could offer. Now, every smartwatch has the basics covered, but some are just better than others.
Take the XWatch for example. It has all the usual features you would expect from such a product, but it doesn't stop there. Not only does it connect to your phone, allowing you to make calls and check messages, but it can help you to check in with your health and do a whole lot more.
People are starting to take notice of this clever smartwatch packed with extras.
Get Yours now with 50% discount and free shipping worldwide
First Impression
Most smartwatches tend to look the same and are made from similar materials. This is fine if you just want to fit in and for no one to notice the technology on your wrist.
If you want to stand out a little, you're going to have to try a little harder. XWatch is made from quality materials and has smooth curves that give it a luxurious feel. The front and the back are cased in glass which wipes easily and looks impressive.
The comfortable strap is made from silicone and feels great when worn, making it perfect for exercise and casual use.

The Power Of A Phone On Your Wrist
When you are exercising, it can be annoying having to reach for your phone when you have an incoming call. Not to mention, the numerous circumstances where you just need to get on with the task you are undertaking.
This is where XWatch excels, doing the basics right. You can answer calls using the built-in speaker and check messages, even speak to your calendar to set reminders. You can check your call logs and even set an alarm.
The touchscreen display is easy to navigate thanks to the 1.54 display.

Your Exercise Companion
A smartwatch should be used properly, after all, if you don't use the features it is no better than a watch.
Part of the problem is that out of date smartwatches don't have a lot to offer. XWatch is known for being great for your health. Because it can monitor heartbeat and connect to your music via Bluetooth it is a brilliant gadget for staying in shape.
Get Yours now with 50% discount and free shipping worldwide
Use the pedometer to track your steps and distances and connect to apps to read and display fitness data so you can track and challenge your personal bests. You can even look at live ECG diagrams so the exercise features are perfect for anyone who wants to be healthy.
These diagrams can give you a physical examination that is otherwise hard to achieve. It only takes a minute and if you are feeling chest pains or aggravations you can show them to your Doctor.
It allows you to check your resting heart rate as well as during exercise.
Get Yours now with 50% discount and free shipping worldwide
Battery To Last As Long As You Do
This is especially important if you are looking for a smartwatch you can use it for exercise. The last thing you want is for the watch to run out of battery halfway through a run, losing the motivating music you are listening to.
XWatch has this covered with a massive 3-5 days of battery life depending on usage. On top of this, it only takes 1 hour to charge via USB which is better than most of the competition. This is all because of the 380mAh battery that is just another sign of its quality.
Get Yours now with 50% discount and free shipping worldwide
Vibrant Display
Your smartwatch is only as good as the quality of the on-screen display. Some of the options on the market just aren't as good to look at which takes away a lot of the enjoyment.
The LCD display is unnoticeable on the XWatch when not in use but when it is, the colors are clear, making it easy to read your messages when on the go.

On Whales and Sunburn
Don't be surprised if Shamu looks a little pink the next time you see him. Whales are suffering from sunburn at an alarming rate—well, the real alarm is that whales get sunburn. (There are numerous problems with whales and sunburn. How much sunscreen would a whale need? What SPF works best? How does one apply it to these aquatic creatures? The logistics are a nightmare.)
From 2007 to 2009, Karina Acevedo-Whitehouse, a postdoctoral fellow at the Zoological Society of London, examined whales swimming in the slender body of water between Mexico and Baja, California. This sliver of water is close to tropical latitudes; cancer rates are five times higher in theses regions. Acevedo-Whitehouse took photographic surveys, and using a stainless steel dart, she collected skin biopsies of blue, fin, and sperm whales. The majority of the samples exhibited abnormal cells associated with UV damage to DNA—better known as sunburn.
The researchers discovered sunburn on the lowest layer of the whales' skin, indicating the beasts suffer from severe damage. When the whales surface for air, they expose their skin to UV rays, leading to sunburn. Unlike other animals with feathers or fur (or the ability to move into shade), the whales have no natural way to protect themselves from overexposure. And much like humans, lighter-skinned whales suffer from sunburn more often than their darker skin relatives, the authors write in the paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
All joking aside, Acevedo-Whitehouse notes there is little to be done to prevent whales from sustaining the sting of a burn. "I do not believe we would be able to do very much to reduce the damage to whales caused by sun exposure," Acevedo-Whitehouse told Discovery News.

At Omaha Mobile Auto Repair, we are working to change the perceptions of the Omaha auto repair industry on two fronts.
We believe that a mechanic should be honest and fair.
We believe that most vehicles can be repaired at a customer's location, instead of them having to bring the car to a repair shop or even worse, tow it there.
Our customers love the convenience of getting their car repaired at their home, work, or where ever they need it in situations of emergency.
Yesterday, (at the time of this writing) one of our mechanics went out to a client's office in downtown Omaha at 8:30pm because his car wouldn't start. It turned out to be a loose wire to his starter and it was fixed for our minimum service call. He could have called a tow truck, towed his Honda CRV to a local mechanic's shop and spent more for the tow service than he paid us to fix it. Then he would have had to wait until the next morning for the auto repair shop to open, put the wire back on and give him another bill. Instead, he drove the car home that night and back to work in the morning.
How much time and money could you save on your next car repair in Miami?
We can inspect, diagnose and repair most common vehicle issues at your location. Including radiator replacements, fuel system issues such as fuel pump or fuel filter, or electrical issues, such as a bad battery, a starter or solenoid, alternator replacements. We also replace timing belts and water pumps and even perform air conditioning recharges or repairs.
Properly maintaining your vehicle can help it to last much longer and retain its value. Check your owner's manual to see how frequent it recommends tune-ups, including changing the spark plugs and doing fluid changes, such as oil changes, coolant or transmission fluid.

Canada is prepared to retaliate against an American increase of duties on Canadian softwood lumber producers, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday.
"We will do precisely what we have done successfully with two previous American administrations: we state our case clearly and rationally. We also make very, very clear that Canada is prepared to retaliate, to defend the national interest," Freeland said in response to criticism in the House of Commons.
Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong said the Liberal government is not being effective against a series of protectionist trade measures by the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden. He was one of several Conservatives to pile on the Liberal government, which is facing mounting criticism over the growing list of trade irritants with Washington.
Freeland didn't provide specifics about what retaliatory measures might be under consideration. But she was alluding to the tough fights Canada waged against the previous administration of Republican Donald Trump who imposed punitive double-digit tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum at the height of the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 2018.
Trump used a section of U.S. trade law that allowed for the imposition of tariffs if a national security threat is perceived by Washington.
Canada hit back dollar-for-dollar countermeasures on American steel and aluminum, as well as a host of other products from whiskey to toilet paper to motorboats.
With Trump's departure and the arrival of the new Biden administration there were high hopes in some quarters that a new level of trade equilibrium might be restored between Canada and the U.S., even though Democrats are traditionally more protectionist.
Hence the litany of protectionist woes that Chong listed off on Thursday: a proposed electric vehicle tax credit that poses a threat to Canadian auto sector jobs, the revival of "stringent" Buy American procurement policies, and "measures targeting our dairy farmers, actions against pipelines that have contributed to skyrocketing energy prices and now a doubling of softwood lumber tariffs."
The U.S. Department of Commerce said Wednesday that its final combined anti-dumping and countervailing duty rate for most Canadian producers will be 17.9 per cent.
That is slightly below the 18.32 per cent preliminary rate issued in May but double the initial 8.99 per cent rate.
"It's clear that Canada's standing in Washington has declined," Chong said of the renewed relationship that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hoped for with U.S. President Joe Biden.
"It's clear this prime minister does not have a close working relationship with the president," Chong charged during question period as he asked Trudeau what he planned to do about it.
Freeland responded by raising the spectre of retaliatory measures.
Bloc Québécois MP Mario Simard said Canada's top trading partner was now acting like its adversary.
"Before people said Trump was the problem. Today, it's Biden. And we have the same problem," said Simard.
International Trade Minister Mary Ng said she raised the proposed the electric vehicle subsidy when she was in Washington last week for meetings as part of the North American Leaders Summit.
Earlier, Ng reiterated that she was disappointed by the new softwood duty, which she said was unfair. Ng said the government was pursuing litigation under the new North American trade deal between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, and at the World Trade Organization.
The B.C. Lumber Trade Council has said the increase was not unexpected but was still disappointing because U.S. producers are unable to meet domestic demand.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is not covered in the Eric Raymond document, but IRC can also be an excellent way of finding the answers you need. However it does require some practice in asking questions in the right way. Most IRC networks have busy #linux channels and if the answer to your question is contained in the manpages, or in the HOWTOs then expect to be told to go read them. The rule about typing in clear and grammatical English still applies.
Most of what has been said about newsgroups and mailing lists is still relevant for IRC, with a the following additions
Do not use colours, bold, underline or strange (non ASCII) characters. This breaks some older terminals and is just plain ugly to look at. If you arrive in a channel and start spewing colour or bold then expect to be kicked out.
Remember you are not entitled to an answer. If you ask the question in the right way then you will probably get one, but you have no right to get one. The people in Linux IRC channels are all there on their own time, nobody is paying them, especially not you.
Be polite. Treat others as you would like to be treated. If you think people are not being polite to you then don't start calling them names or getting annoyed, become even politer. This makes them look foolish rather than dragging you down to their level.
Don't go slapping anyone with large trouts. Would you believe this has been done before once or twice? And that we it wasn't funny the first time?
Most #linux channels are English channels. Speak English whilst in them. Most of the larger IRC networks also have #linux channel in other languages, for example the French language channel might be called #linuxfr, the Spanish one might be #linuxes or #linuxlatino. If you can't find the right channel then asking in the main #linux channel (preferably in English) should help you find the one you are looking for.
Do not type like a ``1337 H4X0R d00d!!!''. Even if other people are. It looks silly and thereby makes you look silly. At best you will only look like an idiot, at worst you will be derided then kicked out.
Never ever as anyone to port scan you, or try to ``hack'' you. This is inviolable. There is no way of knowing that you are who you say you are, or that the IP that you are connected from belongs to you. Don't put people in the position where they have to say no to a request like this.
Don't ever port scan anyone, even if they ask you to. You have no way to tell that they are who they say they are or that the IP they are connected from is their own IP. In some jurisdictions port scanning may be illegal and it is certainly against the Terms of Service of most ISPs. Most people log TCP connections, they will notice they are being scanned. Most people will report you to your ISP for this (it is trivial to find out who that is).
Don't /msg anyone unless they ask you to. It diminishes the usefulness of the channel and some people just prefer that you not do it.
Stay on topic. The channel is a ``Linux'' channel, not a ``What Uncle Bob Got Up To Last Weekend'' channel. Even if you see other people being off topic, this does not mean that you should be. They are probably channel regulars and different conventions apply to them.
If you are thinking of mass CTCP [1] pinging the channel or CTCP version or CTCP anything, then think again. It is liable to get you kicked out very quickly.
Don't ask about exploits, unless you are looking for a further way to be unceremoniously kicked out.
Don't be in hacker/cracker/phreaker/warezer channels whilst in a #linux channel. For some reason the people in charge of #linux channels seem to hate people who like causing destruction to people's machines or who like to steal software. Can't imagine why.
Apologies if that seems like a lot of DON'Ts, and very few DOs. The DOs were already pretty much covered in the section on newsgroups and mailing lists.
Probably the best thing you can do is to go into a #linux channel, sit there and watch, getting the feel for a half hour before you say anything. This can help you to recognise the correct tone you should be using.
There are excellent FAQs about how to get the most of IRC #linux channels. Most #linux channels have an FAQ and/or set or channel rules. How to find this will usually be in the channel topic (which you can see at any time using the /topic command. Make sure you read the rules if there are any and follow them. One fairly generic set of rules and advice is the ``Undernet #linux FAQ'' which can be found at http://linuxfaq.quartz.net.nz.

If you are not familiar with IRC, CTCP stands for Client To Client Protocol. It is a method whereby you can find out things about other peoples' clients. See the documentation for your IRC client for more details |

Kolkata (West Bengal), [India] August 3: The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has launched a national sizing survey to develop India's first country-specific size chart, which will give Indians clothes that fit better. The survey for mapping will collate primary data like gender, locality and age. The first phase of the survey will look into a size chart for 15-65+ years of age, while the second phase will map sizes for children. The entire scanning process will take around 15 minutes per scan.
The INDIAsize multicity sizing survey using non-contact human safe 3D body scanning technology will enable India to develop a standard body size for the Indian population. To achieve the target to cover more than 25000(Twenty-Five Thousand) people in the age group of 15- 65 years in six different cities located in six regions of India, 3D body scanning technology has been in Kolkata and is currently at NIFT &Titly banquet in 81 A, Ballygunge Pl, Ballygunge Place, Ballygunge, Kolkata, West Bengal 700019.
The survey is being carried out since July 2021 by the support of Design Smith Pvt. Ltd., who are the On Ground Execution partner for this project. Noopur Anand, PI, INDIAsize, said, "Since June 2021, INDIAsize have completed scanning over 24,000 people pan-India and has entered the last leg of our most comprehensive collection of data with the support of the Design Smith Pvt. Ltd and industry consortium CMAI. The target is to cover more than 25000 (Twenty-Five Thousand) people in the age group of 15- 65 years in six different cities located in six regions of India. Data collection has already been completed in New Delhi (North India ), Mumbai (West India), Chennai (South India), Hyderabad (Centre India) and is currently in Kolkata (East India) and will be followed by the last stop Shillong (North-East). India having its size chart, is rapidly becoming a reality from a dream. Finally, the Indian consumers will be able to buy clothes made for them by the data collected and hence will fit them better".
Now our Indian consumer's shoppers wouldn't be confused buying branded clothes which certain brands follow the UK size while others follow the USA size. The INDIA SIZE will be apt for the body frames for the people of India as they vary from their counterparts in the UK and the US. Henceforth the Indian consumer would not need to compromise on the fit of the shirt or a pant or any other clothing artifact while buying the branded clothes.
There won't be any anomaly experienced by customers anymore as India is poised to come out with its size chart – INDIA SIZE that will usher in a drastic change in the Indian Garment industry. To counter this problem at the grass-root level, the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), under the aegis of the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, has initiated a massive national sizing survey to create an anthropometric database of measurements for Indians, which is a true representative of the entire Indian population.
Now that the Southern leg is complete, after completing the sizing process in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, it is being carried out with full steam in Kolkata at the NIFT campus and Titly banquet.
Ms. V. Lalithalakshmi, Director, NIFT Kolkata, said, "NIFT Kolkata is proud to be supporting the INDIAsize project – a one-of-its-kind anthropometric survey being implemented by NIFT under the aegis of the Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India. The sizing survey involves extracting body measurements of the Indian population and has followed a systematic pattern of completing the compilation of data, phase by phase, throughout the nation. It is in its last leg and is currently being undertaken in Kolkata from the NIFT campus and Titly Banquet. We invite all and sundry to participate in the scanning survey. Finally, the Indian consumers will be able to buy clothes using a standardized INDIAsize that the garment manufacturers will adopt, and this is expected to usher in a drastic change in the Indian Garment industry."
Expressing his satisfaction on the progress of the National sizing survey being implemented across our vast nation, Mr. Shantmanu, Director General, NIFT, said, "I commend the efforts of the INDIAsize team to have entered the last phase of their marathon sizing survey using non-contact human safe 3D body scanning technology that will enable India to come up with standard body size for Indian population INDIAsize. Despite the hindrances of the pandemic lockdown, natural stumbling blocks like seasonal rains etc., the mammoth data collection exercise is expected to be complete soon, and INDIAsize size charts are expected to roll out sometime by year-end. These indigenous sizing charts will assist many industries in developing products best suited for Indian body types," the DG mentioned.

An Australian view of the crime thriller

Thanks for liking this story! We have added it to a list of your favorite stories.
Filmmaker Joel Edgerton's career is on the bubble. Not only is he acting in big features, including the last two Star Wars movies, he's writing them too. This weekend his new movie "The Square," opens in Minnesota. It's one of a new breed of crime thrillers from Edgerton's Australian homeland.
In person, Joel Edgerton is a polite and charming fellow, but a few years back he came up with a way of roughing up a guy called Ray. Ray was a character Edgerton sketched out in notes he rediscovered recently.
"It was called 'For the Love of Carla Lipnik,' or something like this," he said with more than a hint of New South Wales in his voice. "The idea was to try to write a film about how far a guy was willing to go for love, and a real 'how-not-to' guide to having an affair."
The notes lay in a drawer for quite a while, but Edgerton eventually took them out and wrote the script for "The Square." His brother Nash directed the film. It's the ill-fated story of the tortured Ray, and his girlfriend Carla.

Gifts from individuals keep MPR News accessible to all - free of paywalls and barriers.
They are both married, but not to each other.
"They see an opportunity in a bag of cash that is stashed in the roof of her house from her very shady tow-truck-driving husband," Edgerton said. "And things go wrong, and then things go even more wrong, and they just keep getting worse and worse and worse. It's one of those movies where a guy digs himself deeper and deeper into a hole."
In "The Square," Edgerton plays a small-time criminal who adds to Ray's torment.
He believes thrillers appeal to Australian audiences in part because of the country's historic role as a prison colony.
"The other fascination, I think, is our tall-poppy syndrome," he laughed. "We like to see people get cut down. I think the combination of those two things makes us a really good nation, or audience, for noir films."
Edgerton came to Minnesota to present the local premier of "The Square" at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival. He's excited it's getting a U.S. release.
"It would have been a tragedy to make this film and not get it shown to an audience in North America," he said.
While "The Square" is a very Australian movie in its settings and sensibilities, Edgerton says its roots are very much here. He talks about the cross-pollination between Australian and U.S. film culture.
"The reason I think so many Australian actors are good at doing American accents is because everything we watch growing up is American. I grew up on 'Happy Days,' 'The Brady Bunch,' 'Eight is Enough,' 'Leave it to Beaver,'" he said.
And that was where he and his brother learned how to make movies.
"We never went to film school," he said.
But the Edgerton brothers did have a video camera, and they started shooting.
"We got arrested one day shooting a car chase in a factory area, because we had no council clearance," he said. "And that's the way we used to do it. We'd call it 'stealing locations.'"
Joel Edgerton claims the budget for their first film was $500, because that's what it took to replace the two windshields his brother broke in the car chase. He admits to a lack of professionalism back then, but says they learned some useful lessons.
"And I think that's what makes our filmmaking quite vibrant and robust, considering the low money that we use," he said. "We know how to squeeze a dollar quite well."
While there are obvious comparisons with the Coen brothers, whose first film was the thriller "Blood Simple," Joel Edgerton shrugs them off, saying they need to make a lot for films to be in the same league.
"So look, I'm flattered, but we have a long way to go," he said.
Edgerton admits that just before shooting began for "The Square," he wondered why he hadn't written himself a larger part. However not being in front of the camera all the time allowed him to learn more about the overall craft of feature filmmaking.
"So having the time again, I wouldn't change a thing about that."
He paused for a second and his face split open with an easy grin. "But the next film I'll write has got a slightly bigger part in it for myself, of course."
Joel Edgerton is currently a month into shooting a prequel to John Carpenter's classic movie "The Thing." He is also writing a new film with his brother, which includes that bigger role.

'Godzilla vs. Kong' Debuts First Teaser Ahead of Sunday's Full Trailer
Well, the first teaser for Godzilla Vs. Kong is anything but monster-sized. But it does announce that the film's first full trailer — which will hopefully be longer than six seconds — premieres this coming Sunday, January 24.
Godzilla vs. Kong will combine two different recent franchises into one mega-movie, with Godzilla from [checks notes] Godzilla and Godzilla: King of the Monsters squaring off against King Kong from Kong: Skull Island. The new film, directed by Adam Wingard, features several returning actors from those earlier movies, including Millie Bobby Brown, Zhang Ziyi, and Kyle Chandler. Here's the new teaser:
The teaser also confirms that Godzilla vs. Kong is rated PG-13 for "intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language." Here's the film's official synopsis:
Legends collide as Godzilla and Kong, the two most powerful forces of nature, clash on the big screen in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into fantastic uncharted terrain, unearthing clues to the Titans' very origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.
Don't worry; as long as the box office grosses are good, neither Godzilla nor King Kong can be wiped from the face of the earth for very long. Godzilla Vs. Kong premieres on HBO Max and in theaters on March 25, 2021. (If you missed it, the film's poster debuted online yesterday.)

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- A United Airlines Boeing 787 flying from London to Houston was diverted to Newark, N.J., on Thursday because of a low engine oil indicator, the second unscheduled landing for Boeing's newest plane this week.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that United Flight 125 landed safely at 2:10 p.m. at Newark Liberty International Airport outside New York City. The agency said it would look into the incident.
United said there were 218 passengers, four pilots and 11 flight attendants on board. United spokeswoman Christen David said most of the passengers were put on a Boeing 767, which left Newark and was scheduled to arrive in Houston on Thursday evening.
Boeing spokeswoman Kate Bergman said the company would work with engine manufacturer General Electric Co. to conduct maintenance and testing work and return the plane to service.
Bergman said that the incident was unrelated to another unscheduled landing involving a United Boeing 787 earlier this week.
On Tuesday a United plane heading to Tokyo from Denver was diverted to Seattle because of what the airline described as an oil filter issue. The airline put up about 200 passengers overnight in a hotel, then flew them to Tokyo on Wednesday on another 787.
The 787, which Boeing calls the Dreamliner, is under unusual scrutiny because it was grounded worldwide for three months after lithium-ion batteries overheated on two of the jets.
Boeing redesigned the battery system to the FAA's satisfaction, and airlines around the world resumed using the planes last month. United is the only U.S. airline that operates the 787.
"The 787 is a great airplane, and we know it will continue to receive heightened attention when reliability events occur in service," said Bergman, the Boeing spokeswoman.
The Dreamliner is Boeing's most technologically advanced airliner, with lightweight materials and other innovations designed to boost fuel efficiency. The fuel efficiency makes it suited for long flights including international routes.
At this week's Paris Air Show, Boeing has been taking more orders for the original model and a planned larger version called the 787-10.
The 787 is assembled at Boeing plants in Everett, Wash., and North Charleston, S.C. The company's corporate offices are in Chicago.

Got EASY and YUMMY Recipes???
So what did we cook to feed such a big crew? For the main course, I made something that was EASY and YUMMY! I made this Baked Ziti and took this advice from a comment written below the recipe to make it a delicious dish that was a hit for both adults and children:
"Try RICOTTA CHEESE instead of sour cream and skip the provolone for a real Italian version of Baked Ziti. Mix an egg into a pound of ricotta to make it nice and creamy, and toss with the ziti. Layer sauce first (so you don't need to butter the pan), then ziti/cheese, mozzarella, sprinkle with parm and a little dried oregano or basil, then repeat layers. For a really nice look, slice a brick of mozzarella for the top layer instead of using the shredded kind. This is SO MUCH BETTER than the sour cream version!"
With the baked ziti, we served a garden salad made by my friend and I made an oriental slaw salad. Here are the ingredients I used for this EASY and YUMMY oriental slaw salad that my mom passed on to me:
Oriental Slaw
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup toasted sunflower kernels
1 package Ramen Noodles-chicken flavored (the seasoning packet will be used for the dressing)
1 bag of slivered cole slaw (cabbage)
4 green onions, chopped
For the Dressing I used:
chicken seasoning packet from the noodle package
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons vinegar (white or red, but not balsamic)
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Break up Ramen noodles on cookie sheet. Add almonds and sunflower kernels. Brown in 325 degree oven for 5 - 10 minutes. Cool and set aside.
Mix bag of cole slaw (cabbage) and green onions together.
- (16) oz. Cool Whip
- (6) oz. frozen lemonade or lime-ade
- (1) can Eagle Brand condensed milk
- Add room temperature Cool Whip and lemonade to condensed milk.
- Stir well.
- Pour into 2 graham cracker crusts and let chill at least 5 minutes. I always like to cut up a lemon to decorate the pies.

Hi "Aspiring Millionaire"!
Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment! I left a comment on one of your recent posts about money rules. Thanks for following and I'm following you times 3! You manage 3 blogs??? WOW, quite impressive :) I follow all 3 now :)
Yes, homeschooling is not an easy decision for some, I definitely struggled with whether homeschooling would be best for our family and I still question my decision, but I think that's only natural to question if what we are doing is best for our children/families. How old are your daughters?
Glad you like the recipes :P

The grand opening ceremony for Winn Army Community Hospital's new wing is scheduled for 11 a.m., Tuesday. The "Liberty Wing" is located along the northwest side of the facility adjacent to the Outpatient Clinic entrance.
Its opening marks the first major expansion of Winn ACH since the hospital opened in 1983. The first floor of the 65,000 square foot wing houses musculoskeletal functions including: physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedics and podiatry. The second floor includes behavioral medicine and social work service.
The Liberty Wing is the first phase of a two-phased plan to expand the installation hospital. Phase II is ongoing and includes a new Emergency Department, an expanded pharmacy, more than 200 additional parking spaces, and renovations to 13 clinics and departments. The Emergency Department is projected to open later this year and all Winn ACH construction projects are scheduled to be completed in 2016.

The solar energy business is growing quickly, but future growth will not include oil giant BP.
At the IHS CERAWeek energy conference in Houston, BP's CEO made it clear the company is done with solar.
"We have thrown in the towel on solar," Bob Dudley said after delivering a wide-ranging speech Wednesday.
"Not that solar energy isn't a viable energy source, but we worked at it for 35 years, and we really never made money," he added.
BP, which announced it was winding down its solar business last year, says it is still committed to other renewable resources, such as wind power and biofuels production.
But the move away from solar is especially striking considering BP's recent history. In 2000, the company changed its logo to resemble the sun and made a big deal of its "beyond petroleum" campaign.
BP's exit from solar has more to do with a changing business than lack of will.
"The solar industry BP was involved in 10 years ago has very few similarities to the solar industry today," says Finlay Colville, vice president of the research firm NPD Solarbuzz.
Colville says BP was one of the early companies in the solar business. Back then, the market was based on a different model — one more focused on research and development. He says now the business is all about efficient production and low prices, something more suited to the Asian companies taking a lead role in the solar panel-manufacturing business; so BP's exit from solar doesn't mean the industry overall is in trouble.
"There's a lot of competition in the solar business these days, which is a good thing," says Rachel Shimshak, executive director of the Renewable Northwest Project in Portland, Ore.
She says today more people can afford to install solar panels. Prices have fallen nearly 60 percent in the past two years alone, according to Solar Energy Industries Association President Rhone Resch.
Despite lower prices, less than 0.5 percent of the country's electricity comes from solar. Resch says that's because all the other forms of electricity generation, such as coal and natural gas, had many years to develop.
"For the solar industry — which has really just caught hold in the last four or five years — it's going to take a few decades before we make a significant dent," Resch says.
But he says solar is the fastest-growing source of new energy in the U.S., and he expects that to continue.

Selling your house in Reno? Don't want to pay commission but not interested in listing yourself? Why not examine the method of selling directly? There are a significant number of pros to consider. If you've never really explored working with a professional buyer, you may be surprised to learn why so many choose this option.
Professional buyers provide a solution to homeowners with properties ready to sell but just don't fit the bill for a traditional listing or don't want to list with an agent or on their own. Here are five benefits of selling your house for cash in Reno
Traditional Listing Expenses
Skipping the commissions may be one of the most attractive benefits of selling your house for cash in Reno. By selling directly to a professional buyer like one from Northern Nevada Home Buyers, you save several thousand dollars by forgoing the commissions and fees of a traditional real estate agent. And you don't have to pay all of the typical marketing expenses along with the listing. These may include professional photographers and drone pilots, updating or renovating the property, and staging expenses. Because buyers searching for homes listed on the MLS quickly scroll through hundreds of listings with their fingertips, a professional agent focuses on top-quality internet marketing, which comes at a premium cost to sellers.
Quick Closings
Saving time is a convenient benefit of selling your house for cash in Reno. A professional buyer like the ones at Northern Nevada Home Buyers will take the time to explain each step and how they reached the figures to make a fair offer for your home. Because a direct buyer pays in cash, typically, closing is within a matter of days or weeks. A direct buyer wants to offer solutions to your problems and make it an easy transaction. They will handle everything for you. When you sell directly, you are working with a professional, you gain the power of the team backing them up, from inspection to appraisal, and even cleaning up anything you leave behind. Because they aren't moving into the home after the sale, a direct buyer can close around your schedule, so there's no need to rush your move.
Uncertainty of Repairs
Unless your home is new, likely, there are at least a few repairs on your to-do list. For many sellers, worrying about how they will pay for these repairs can lead to many sleepless nights. Because a direct buyer is making an offer on your house as it is, you can leave all your worries behind. Not only does a professional buyer like those at Northern Nevada Home Buyers relieve you of your concerns, you are relieved of the burden of the repairs you know about and the ones you don't! Direct buyers take on the risks of what may lie hidden. Saving you potentially thousands in unexpected repair expenses is a substantial financial benefit of selling your house for cash in Reno.
No Stress
No showings! Very often, sellers motivating factor in selling their house for cash in Reno
is to avoid the hassle and headache of showings. Many people find the thought of having their home exposed to millions of people online disquieting. Additionally, sellers are often uncomfortable with the idea of strangers inside the house or touching their belongings. When you work with a professional buyer like those at Northern Nevada Home Buyers, there is no need to worry about keeping your home spotless at all times or rescheduling your life around excited buyers who simply must see the house right now. No one will be calling at dinner or asking you to leave all weekend while your home is open for anyone curious to walk through.
Time is Money
Avoiding holding costs is a benefit of selling your house for cash in Reno that is difficult to determine. A traditional listing doesn't include a closing date when you sign a contract with a real estate agent. A cash sale to a direct buyer won't leave you lingering on the market because your house is in less than perfect condition, and you can't afford to make the necessary repairs or upgrades to attract buyers. If you have had to relocate for work or personal issues, waiting for a buyer to make a decent offer may leave you carrying the financial responsibility for two homes. You may also have to spend money and time to travel between the two properties. However, by choosing to sell directly to a professional buyer like one from Northern Nevada Home Buyers who will pay you in cash, there are no financing delays, so your closing date is guaranteed.
Wondering which method is best for you? At Northern Nevada Home Buyers, our professional buyers will outline each option to help you determine which is best for your circumstances, a traditional listing or selling your house for cash in Reno directly to [comapny]. Call Northern Nevada Home Buyers at (775)382-1075 or send us a message!

Long ago I mentioned what I called "vertical analytics" and how blogs may be the next analytics frontier. Fast forward to the present, and blog analytics are "been there, done that." (The product demo I saw in a hotel room at SES never saw the light of day; the originator went on to other things – and remains active in "general" web analytics.)
I still think vertical analytics is bound to happen. Witness Atlanta-based Indie Music, whose service Band Metrics — "Analytics For The Music Industry™", scored angel financing back in November. More than one press report about the financing used a variant of the phrase "Google Analytics of the music industry."
Compared with some of the graybeards of Business Intelligence, the Web Analytics "industry" has not yet left adolescence. But I think many of the lessons learned in the greater web analytics field, combined with more powerful machines and a greater "popular culture" around number crunching, are going to lead to analytics for very specialized fields. At a minimum, it might move us away from generic tools that look at the Web to tools that have specific knowledge of a particular business — kinda like a specific solution for scheduling & billing for dentists vs. bringing in Oracle Applications and Accenture. What can be bad about that?
Could this be a new analytics growth opportunity, or perhaps just a land grab? Here's a thought experiment: check out XXXanalytics.com (where XXX is whatever interesting business you can think of) and see if it's already taken. I tried a half-dozen while composing this post and I was surprised how many were already claimed…
(Interestingly, XXXanalytics.com itself is not taken, nor is dentistanalytics.com)

Welcome to my website. I have been practicing law in the New York area since 1982. While experienced in litigation for 30 years, my practice handles family law matters, including:
- Divorce
- Mediation
- Child Custody and Visitation
- Child and Spouse Support
- Property Division (Equitable Distribution)
New York State Divorce Practice
My divorce practice is limited to New York State proceedings and handles all types of divorces and family law related legal matters. This page is devoted to contested divorces. Clients involved in an uncontested divorce may want to explore mediation options.
A contested divorce is a divorce where the parties are not in agreement on the grounds of the divorce, the division of property, support issues or children's issues, including custody and visitation. These types of divorces are litigated in a courtroom and rely on the Court to make the final determination unless the parties can reach agreement.
Mediation - A Practical Divorce Option
Some couples seeking a divorce will find the mediation process the best solution for their needs. Mediation provides a constructive, cost-efficient way for divorcing couples to reach a resolution — with the help of independent professional assistance to address all the relevant issues.
Using this process, I serve as an impartial mediator, where I do not represent either party. Instead, I assist both parties in reaching an amicable agreement, memorialized in a settlement or separation agreement, which becomes the guiding document for their divorce or separation.
Child Custody & Visitation
I offer legal counsel and representation on child custody and visitation matters. Child custody settlements are some of the most important decisions parents have to make. These agreements form the blueprints for the way your family communicates and operates after you divorce or separate. These issues are often emotionally charged.
I do my best to help my clients negotiate and resolve their child custody and visitation matters in a way that gives them comfort that their children's needs will be met both now and in the future.
Financial Support
Divorce has a serious impact on the family's financial situation, individually and collectively. Once shared incomes and assets become divided, considerable lifestyle changes can accompany single-income households. The old adage that it is cheaper to live together than separately is generally true—and, I help my clients project the cost of maintaining dual households.
My goal is to help my clients transition through this financial change as smoothly as possible. I am devoted to helping my clients seek settlement arrangements that support their honest financial needs.
Property Division
Most divorces involve property division, referred to in New York as "equitable distribution." I draw from family and commercial law experience to guide my clients through th
The property settlement process often ignites other divorce-related emotions and can result in prolonged personal vendettas. I offer counsel that helps clients keep these matters in perspective. I encourage my clients to "pick their battles" and to take a pragmatic approach.eir property settlement issues.
Each of my clients' cases are different and require very specific and unique legal remedies. I don't pigeon hole my clients and you will never hear me say, "I had a case just like yours." I understand my clients deserve individual attention, and I am committed to exploring all available solutions to serve their best interests and legal needs.
I believe that it is my responsibility to help you deal with all aspects of family & marital law issues. For example, I understand what is at stake in a divorce, personally and professionally. New York Divorce disputes are often deeply emotional experiences that involve much more than monetary settlements. I'm a divorced father of two, so I've been there myself.
