The High School Mile was created in 2010 and featured only athletes from schools located on Cape Cod, but in 2011 it was opened to athletes from across the state. On Saturday evening, August 15th, be sure to be at Falmouth High School James Kalperis track to see just how fast Massachusetts is!
For the 5th year, this event will be in memory of Tommy Cochary, a local Falmouth runner. The Falmouth Road Race was always an integral part of the lives of Tommy and his family each year, but the summer of 1990 transformed the Cochary Family forever when Tommy's life was cut short by a drunk driving accident. In memory of his active life and fun-loving attitude, the family wants to promote good health and smart choices by awarding a grant in the top high school girl and boy athletes names to be used by thier school to purchase or implement a level of wellness. The schools, in collaboration with the donors, will be able to choose from options such as athletic equipment, team uniforms, or an after-school wellness activity.
Eligible athletes include high school students who are residents of Massachusetts and currently attend, or are a 2015 graduate of, a Massachusetts High School. High school milers are invited to apply each year online with runners chosen by mid-July. The goal of the selection process is to invite the best athletes in Massachusetts who also embody the underlying values of the race and Make Smart Choices in their lives.
All athletes chosen to participate in the 2015 Tommy Cochary High School Mile will be outfitted in sneakers, flats, shorts, and singlets by New Balance and have the chance to race in front of thousands of spectators. Field size will be limited to a maximum of 10 high school boys and 10 high school girls; the selection process will consider character as well as athletic performance.
The Tommy Cochary High School Mile is free to spectators.

Robin Pope's body was discovered by a fisherman along the Kent Island shoreline in late March. Police say there were no visible signs of intentional trauma. A cause of death has not been determined.
Adding to the mystery is the death of Pope's Great Dane, Bella, who was found dead along the beach.

RABAT: A Moroccan rights group on Thursday slammed the authorities' harsh treatment and expulsion of sub-Saharan illegal immigrants, after hundreds were deported in a swoop that began earlier this week.
"The human rights violations against immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa have become systematic in our country," the Moroccan Association of Human Rights (AMDH) said in a statement.
"The state is responsible for the safety and security of the migrants, but instead they are subjected to beatings, both by the authorities and by hired thugs, or sent to the Algerian border," added Morocco's largest rights group.
It said those expelled included pregnant women and small children, and warned that the "continuing attacks" on African immigrants were "feeding racism and encouraging the citizens of Morocco to turn against them."
Moroccan authorities have clamped down on unregulated immigrants in recent days, with the AMDH saying 35 of them were expelled on Wednesday night from the eastern border town of Oujda.
Early on Tuesday morning, Spain and Morocco cooperated in evicting 73 African migrants who had swum to a tiny Spanish islet just off the North African coast in a desperate bid to reach mainland Europe.
And on Monday, some 200 sub-Saharans were expelled from the country, most of them from the northern towns of Tetouan and Nador, close to the two Spanish territories of Ceuta and Melilla.
Medical charity Doctors Without Border (MSF) has also expressed concern about the vulnerability of sub-Saharan migrants in northeast Morocco, saying the number of people it treated for violence-caused injuries more than doubled between April and July.
"Many of these people were wounded as they tried to escape arrest or as they tried to jump over the border fences," MSF's Morocco director David Cantero said.
Government spokesman Mustapha Khalfi told AFP that the authorities were open to dialogue with the concerned organisations on the "challenge" of managing illegal immigration.
He added, however, that Morocco was "not just a transit country, but also a host country, which has social implications."
According to different humans rights organisations, between 20,000 and 25,000 unregistered sub-Saharan migrants reside in Morocco.
The expelled sub-Saharans are usually sent back to the officially-closed Algerian border crossing near Oujda, the main entry point for African migrants coming into the country.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Delaware-based Corporation Service Company has made its first acquisition down under, snapping up Melbourne IT Ltd.'s Digital Brand Services division for 152.5 million Australian dollars (US$157 million).
"We were attracted to the global scale and capabilities of DBS to combine with CSC's leadership position in providing corporate domain and online services," said CSC vice president Jim Stolzfus said.

This is my second Yamaha AV Receiver, the first being damaged by lightning. Before that I had a Denon. This receiver was extremely easy to set up using YPO. It took all of 3 minutes for the system to analyze the room and make the necessary adjustments. The before and after sound was like night and day. I completely did the system set up without opening the manual. The four scene buttons allow me to go from Blu-ray to Apple TV to TW DVR with the simple act of pushing the appropriate button.The ability to use banana plugs to connect the speakers was great, and sped up the connections greatly. Same for having so many HDMI input jacks.The only problem I have had is that there is no code that will allow me to turn on the Receiver with the Time Warner DVR remote control. When I try it, the Receiver turns on then back off immediately. Once I turn it on manually, however, the TW DVR remote will turn the Receiver off, along with the other components. Luckily, I have the Receiver located where this is not a problem. Yamaha should work with Samsung, maker of the DVR, to find a code that will allow the system to turn on properly. If I didn't have the Receiver where it is easy to turn on manually this would be a deal breaker.This is a 5.1 Receiver, and I use Infinity speakers for the 5, and a 12" subwoofer for the .1. The sound is great. It gives great sound for everything from TV shows to Blu-ray movies.Overall, I am happy with the purchase, and have already recommended it to a few friends. It was well worth the money.

Great Unit !

About Me Movie Enthusiast, Practical, Tech Savvy
Bought this to replace my old RX-V990 . Wow things have changed in the AVR world haha. It is a pleasure to listen to but have one question if anyone here knows the answer it would be great. On the Sur.Decode button on the remote , the manual states you can toggle between modes . When I do that it only does straight ( also , straight is off using the stright button itself ) . So far I've only been using my Dish HD reciever on it . Thanks !
Awesome Upgrade from HTIB
By Mr Advice
from CA
About Me Audiophile, Frugal, Practical, Tech Savvy
Replaced a Panasonic Home Theater in a Box all on one system. It had good volume but too few options, limited inputs, small subwoofer. The RX-V471 has much more sophisicated sound. It allows for detailed adjustment of each speaker, including it's size, distance from the listener and individual volume adjustments. Comes with a mic and auto setup system to make those determinations.This model doesn't do any upscaling for older technologies such as component or composite video. It simply does a passthrough to your TV inputs of the same technology, component or composite.
Solid budget friendly home theater
By Bud
from California
About Me Movie Enthusiast, Tech Savvy
Picked this up for my home theater and am very happy with it for that purpose. The sound reproduction with a set of Energy Take 5.1 speakers is crystal clear with amazing fidelity. After a couple of weeks to let the speakers break in I used the YPAO and noticed a distinct improvement in channel separation and stereo imaging. I like that this feature is available even in Yamaha's lower priced units.I wouldn't mind slightly larger remote control buttons, but its easier to use than I thought it would be when I first looked at it.This unit has been replaced with a newer model that appears to be significantly the same and is probably a similar good choice in this price range.

Yamaha RX-V471 A/V Receiver
By Grubbworm
from Acworth, Georgia
About Me Audiophile, Movie Enthusiast, Pro Audio / DJ, Tech Savvy
My wife and I purchased this Yamaha RX-V471 A/V Receiver as a Christmas gift to ourselves last year (Nov. 2012). We paired it with a set of Yamaha 5.1 surround sound speakers. We bought it to replace an older Yamaha RX-V393 Receiver that we have, which is now in my workshop, along with my Teac Equalizer and my set of "B" speakers. So far, we are very pleased with this unit. Even though it has plenty of settings for those that wish to adjust everything, it was very simple to hookup. I do like the HDMI hookups, the USB port in the front, the 3D support, the ARC support, At 535 watts, this unit will get very loud, with no distortion. For the price, this unit was an excellent deal. I really like the YPAO sound optimization feature; it helped me to correct some wiring issues that I did not know I had. The Auto preset tuning is a great feature as well. The initial volume-setting feature is also great because my wife is hard of hearing and it lets me set it a little louder when it comes on so that she can hear it. I do have a few issues with this unit, but do not feel that they take away from the quality or price point of this receiver. First, there is no way to connect and use my Teac Equalizer. Second, there are no connections for a set of "B" speakers. Third, there should also be a USB port on the rear panel. Fourth, there should be a default clock feature on the display panel.Overall, we would highly recommend this unit, or any other Yamaha sound product for that matter.

HTC One to be available in Red and Blue versions
HTC's flagship smartphone has been one of the most popular Android devices in recent times and the metallic beauty will soon be available in new hues, according to a report from Pocket-lint.
HTC is all set to launch its One flagship smartphone in a Blue and Red variant and the latest shades will join the currently available Black and Silver versions.
The Red variant of the HTC One appeared on the HTC's US website, which was later pulled and the upcoming hue was listed in an online retailer's website in the UK with a price tag of £504 (about $760) for a 32 GB version.
Unfortunately, there is no official word on the existence or the availability of these colors.

Yoga Poses to Build Muscle
Muscle-Sculpting Yoga Poses
Build muscle and sculpt a sleek physique with these powerful poses
Yoga Strong
"How did you get those arms? Do you lift weights?" Yogis hear these questions all the time and smile knowingly as they respond, "Nope. Just yoga." Yoga requires nothing but ourselves--no weights, no machines, just the ability to lift and hold our own body weight. If the gym feels like a prison, then yoga is a playground. Yoga is composed of endless postures; you never have to do the same practice twice. (Search: What are the different types of yoga?) There is a variation for every pose, and just when you've mastered a pose, you'll learn a new transition that takes it to the next level. This kind of training creates a long, lean body that shows strength without bulk. Do these four poses as a sequence two to five times a week. (Plus: Burn fat faster with these 2-in-1 Yoga Poses!)

Iraqi Vice-President Tariq al-Hashemi (C). (AFP PHOTO / BULENT KILIC)
ANKARA: Iraq has reached a "crossroads," its fugitive vice-president told AFP Friday but strongly rejected the country's partition amid a deepening crisis stoking sectarian tensions.
"I could say easily we have reached a crossroad and this time we should opt for a tailor-made political solution to the current crisis," Tariq al-Hashemi said in a telephone interview.
The Sunni vice-president has sought refuge in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region after he was accused by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's government of running death squads against Shiites -- a charge he denies.
Speaking in English, Hashemi held the Iraqi premier, a Shiite, responsible for the current crisis which he said was "really unique" compared to previous ones since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003 and it required "unique solutions."
"Unfortunately Maliki is becoming the core of the problem," said Hashemi, accusing him of consolidating power and marginalizing his coalition partners from the decision-making process.
Iraq has been mired in political crisis since U.S. forces withdrew from the country on December 18, pitting the Shiite-dominated government against Sunni rivals and much of the sectarian violence is shaped along Sunni-Shiite fractions.
Hashemi is currently in Istanbul under the protection of Turkish authorities before his "permanent stay in Kurdistan," which he said would happen in the near future.
Iraq's regional Kurdish government led by Massud Barzani is also locked in a dispute with Maliki over territorial claims and the control of the region's rich energy sources.
Barzani had earlier accused the Maliki government of monopolizing power and preparing the ground for a return to dictatorship while calling for a meeting of Iraqi leaders to "save" Iraq from its current political woes.
"The agenda which has been announced by Mr Barzani is quite clear," said Hashemi. "If Maliki declines to show up, we will definitely go for other options. A vote of confidence might be" one of them.
Hashemi said: "We could enjoy a prime minister from the Shiite national alliance on the ground that he is committed to power sharing ... and he keeps all Iraqis equally according to the constitution.
"This is all what we are dreaming, this is all what we are looking for."
But the Iraqi vice-president doubted that Maliki would change his policies.
"If Maliki insists on his unacceptable marginalisation policy and if he continues power consolidation which is no way acceptable, then definitely the majority of political entities is going to go for a vote of confidence," he said.
But he warned against partition.
"This subject in fact is not on the table," he said when asked if a division of Iraq was one of the options.
"I will not accept that one politician is going to push Iraq to an unknown future.... This is no way acceptable and partition is not on the table. I think this is even not under consideration by anybody."
Iraq's relations with Turkey have also deteriorated in recent months as the leaders of the two neighboring countries traded barbs, escalating regional strains.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Maliki of showing an "egocentric" approach in politics and monopolizing power and the Iraqi premier fired back, saying Turkey was becoming a "hostile state" in the region.
"I hope that this will be just a temporary setback in the Turkish-Iraqi bilateral future," said Hashemi of the Ankara-Baghdad tensions.
"We have much bigger and strategic interests... I am optimistic that we will overcome this problem in the future. But I must be frank on that: the ball is in the court of Maliki, not in Turkey."

Bones Creator Hart Hanson Dishes on His "Crazy-Ass" Twitter Followers
Hart Hanson has beef with Twitter. Namely, that people keep screaming at him via the social networking tool. The Bones creator opened up to Blog Critics recently about why he quit reading his Twitter messages, explaining, "I just don't look at it at all anymore because it was crazy-ass people shouting at me." But don't worry, he isn't leaving the Twitter-verse just yet, clarifying that he's still "very interested in social networking and what it means, and I'm interested in other people's opinions."
Just not the crazy ones. Got it. But for the rest of his followers, Hart doesn't mind sharing his (virtual) world — which comes in the form of five to six posts a day.
"I have thousands and thousands who might be interested in photos from the set, or musings on what happened this day on Bones, or what it's like to be a TV writer in LA, or what it's like to be a Canadian living in LA. That's generally what I tweet about for that quiet audience of 32,000 who are interested for whatever reason in what I have to say about what my day-to-day life is like."
Luckily for Hart, a lot of the screaming should have died down the second the credits began rolling on the Season 6 finale. Maybe creating Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth's (David Boreanaz) new pregnancy was Hart's way of saying, "They're together, are you happy now?"
If so, then the answer is "YES!"

IN a new twist, the Attorney General (AG) has intervened in the legal wrangle involving nullification of elections results for Sumbawanga Urban Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) Aeshi Hilaly, by filing an appeal to challenge the decision of the High Court.
The AG lodged the appeal before the Court of Appeal on January 10, this year, under certificate of urgency, stating that the Constituency has no parliamentary representation since the nullification of the results on April 30, 2012. Before being unseated, Mr Hilaly was MP for the constituency under CCM.
"Unless the appeal is determined, the residents of Sumbawanga Urban Constituency will remain unrepresented," reads part of records of appeal. In the appeal, the AG is asking judges to quash and set aside the judgment and decree given by High Court Judge Batuel Mmila.
"Further the Court (of Appeal) be pleased to declare the election of Sumbawanga Urban Constituency held on October 31, 2010 was free and fair and that election results thereof were lawful and valid," the AG, who is the government's legal adviser, also proposed.
According to court records, the AG has advanced 10 grounds to support his case, stating that the High Court judge erred in law in fixing the hearing date of the election petition prior to deposition of security of costs by the petitioner, Nobert Yamsebo, from Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema).
He stated that the trial judge erred in law and facts in holding that the contradictions and discrepancies between the evidence given by four witnesses for the petitioner were minor and did not go to the root of justice.
The AG stated that the trial judge erred in holding that there was chaos at the campaign meetings by Mr Yamsebo at two villages on two different occasions and basing on such contradictory evidence the judge was wrong to hold that disturbances at the rallies weakened and undermined the petitioner's campaign.
"Having held that there were contradictions and discrepancies in evidence on whether the campaign meetings proceeded after the alleged disturbance, the judge erred in law and facts in holding that the election was not free and fair," records of appeal explain.
The judge, the AG stated, erred in holding that the alleged riots at the two meetings affected the results and "crossly misdirected himself in failing to evaluate the evidence adduced to the required standard of proof which is beyond reasonable doubt, as a result arrived at wrong conclusion, finding and decision."
Furthermore, the AG explained that the High Court judge erred in shifting the onus of proof from Mr Yamsebo to Mr Hilaly on allegation of corruption given on October 29, 2010 at one primary school in the constituency and wrongly concluded that such claims were proved beyond reasonable doubts.

Using Rapid Injection Molding to Improve Product Design
Speed adds time to
design process
—edited by Richard
Innovative technology is rapidly changing the way one
medical-device manufacturer upgrades its products to better meet customer needs
and maintain a competitive edge in the market. San Diego-based Tensys Medical
Inc. often relies on prototyping to identify potential improvements in the
design of its medical devices. But tight turnaround times and limited budgets
have historically restricted the ability to build functional prototypes. Through
the use of rapid injection molding, the company's engineers beat their internal
deadline, allowing them additional time for preliminary testing and further
design improvements.
The T-Line Tensymeter, a noninvasive
blood pressure monitor. Tensys Medical engineers
utilized rapid injection molding to manufacture five
prototype design iterations, while keeping on target
with original timing specifications.
Sensing in real time
Tensys manufactures the T-Line Tensymeter, a noninvasive device designed to
measure arterial blood pressure in real time, on a beat-to-beat basis. Unlike
the standard method used to monitor a patient's blood pressure during surgery —
a cuff-based system that provides intermittent measurements every three to five
minutes — the T-Line extracts radial arterial pressure using a transdermal
pressure sensor. Continuous blood pressure status allows the surgical staff to
constantly monitor a patient's response to anesthetic agents and surgical
intervention, thereby helping anesthesiologists quickly recognize and treat
rapid changes in blood pressure to prevent potential patient outcomes such as
stroke, postoperative heart attack or even death.
Introduced in 2002, the T-Line has proved popular with clinicians and
anesthesiologists nationwide. As the product gained acceptance, Tensys worked to
gather feedback from its core users, focusing particularly on ways to improve
and enhance the device. Users said they wanted the T-Line to be easier to
operate, so Tensys simplified the product by redesigning its key components.
"Although the application process for using the T-Line is relatively simple,
some of our users rotate between different hospitals and may use the device only
once every few weeks, so they may have to re-acclimate themselves to the
process," says Russ Hempstead, senior engineer, Tensys. "To help reduce the
learning curve, we removed a few steps from the application and redesigned
certain components."
Specifically, Tensys engineers redesigned the T-Line's plastic sensor frame to
allow medical staff to place the sensor over a patient's radial artery. With the
previous sensor frame, the sensor itself was attached to the frame via
polyethylene tape, which was manually applied during manufacturing. The new
design integrates a serpentine "arm" that is fabricated as part of the original
sensor frame, eliminating the manual labor and costs associated with the prior
attachment method. It also re-centers the sensor after any shifting due to
patient movement, helping users more easily maintain proper placement of the
Addressing prototyping, production challenges
Although the redesigned sensor frame improved the product's functionality, the
design's particular geometry posed a challenge for Tensys' current prototyping
and production techniques. Company engineers first tried using stereolithography
to create a master part to create urethane castings of the T-Line components.
Although the castings provided a conceptual design check, the limited material
selection and short tool life posed testing and design verification constraints.
The geometry also jeopardized their production plans.
"With huge wall thickness variations and sharp transitions, the sensor frame
design is an extremely challenging one for a molder to accommodate," Hempstead
says. "When I presented the design to a number of different molders, they
seriously thought I was joking because, at first glance, it looks like it will
never fill properly."
With a rough prototype in hand, the medical engineers contacted their existing
production molder in hopes of keeping production on track for the approaching
deadline. Because of the design's unconventional geometries, the company's
production tool vendor wasn't able to construct the tool properly. As a result,
the new tool created a tremendous amount of flash — excess material caused when
plastic leaks from a mold cavity and sticks out from the edge of the part.
"When flash occurs, you need to manually trim each part," Hempstead says. "This
usually isn't a big deal for us if we're dealing with prototypes. However, in a
production situation, it's not acceptable because of the quality and expense."
Tensys engineers and the production tooling vendor were struggling to get
production tooling underway. In the interim, a design engineer came across
information about a prototyping and low-volume production process that seemed
well suited for the redesigned T-Line — rapid injection molding. With a deadline
approaching, engineers decided to take an unconventional step back in the
process and check out rapid injection molding's abilities for prototyping and
pilot production.
Protomold design specialist Dave
Nyseth prepares a ProtoQuote
Exploring new methods
Tensys was attracted particularly to rapid injection molding because of its fast
turnaround time and low costs. Developed by The Protomold Company, based in
Maple Plain, MN, rapid injection molding uses proprietary software technology
and high-speed CNC machining to produce injection-molded parts from 3D CAD
models in as little as three days.
Tensys design engineers accessed Protomold's Internet site and submitted their
3D CAD file for the redesigned T-Line. Within 24 hours, the molder sent back an
interactive ProtoQuote — a web-based price quotation illustrating the effect of
using different materials, with comparisons of lead-time options and a list of
final price points based on quantity. It also included suggestions for potential
design improvements.
"The fact that I can simply upload a CAD file directly to the site, add a few
detailed notes and just walk away, easily saves me 50% of the time I typically
would spend on the logistics of a quote," Hempstead says. "If I had gone to a
different molder, I might have been forced to deal with incompatibility issues,
while trying to meet another vendor's CAD file format or 2-D drawing
requirements. Not having to translate my CAD files or correlate software
versions allows me time to conduct other work."
ProtoQuote also gave Tensys engineers valuable design guidance on how to work
within the rapid injection molding process specifications, highlighting areas
where wall thickness was significantly greater or less than nominal and areas
where draft was less than three degrees, prohibiting texture additions. Based on
the ProtoQuote suggestions, Tensys design engineers revised their CAD file and
submitted an order for 25 sensor frame prototypes. Within six days, the molding
company delivered the completed parts.
"We subjected Protomold to a difficult trial by submitting our toughest part as
a test, and the company rose to the challenge," Hempstead says. "Even better,
the company amazed us by delivering a final product while our production vendor
was still struggling to produce a workable tool. Overall, rapid injection
molding delivers in a time frame 90% faster than other molders we've worked
with, which poses huge benefits for us."
Pleased with the rapid injection molding prototype results, Tensys Medical
engineers immediately stopped production tooling to shift efforts toward further
improving the T-Line component designs, while keeping on target with the
original timing specifications.
Squeezing more from budget, schedule
Originally, Tensys sought to place a single order for a prototype to meet its
internal deadline. But the molding company's quick turnaround allowed the design
engineers to use the additional timesavings to conduct preliminary validation
tests and further improve the product design through successive iterations.
"Before we discovered rapid injection molding, we were struggling to make a
schedule that would let us create production parts we needed," Hempstead says.
"But once it became apparent we could meet this need using rapid injection
molding, we began asking ourselves, 'What else can we improve before we get to
The rapid injection molding process allowed the design engineers to shorten the
product design and development program time cycle. "We used to have significant
lag time between design and production, sometimes waiting as much as 14 weeks
while our tools were being built," Hempstead says. "Now we're able to do more
design work and testing because everyone here knows we can use Protomold's rapid
injection molding process to incorporate our design changes in a week or less."
Rapid injection molding also helps the medical device engineers reduce the costs
of production tooling and final parts. "The tooling costs from Protomold are 50
to 60% lower than prototype tooling quotes from other molders," Hempstead notes.
Tensys now relies on Protomold to supply its prototypes and, in cases where the
needed quantities are prohibitively high for standard rapid prototyping methods,
for pilot production parts. In fact, the company currently is developing 30
tools in conjunction with the molder. And the two companies are cooperating on
the fifth design iteration of the T-Line redesign.

The joint marketing effort will push trips to orbiting Bigelow habitats on SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft using the Falcon launch vehicle. 'Bigelow's BA 330 space module would be designed to provide 330 cubic meters of usable volume, which is about the size of a two-bedroom apartment. The BA 330 could accommodate up to six astronauts, depending on how cozy they plan to get. Two or more BA 330 modules could be connected together in orbit for lease by national space agencies, companies or universities, according to Bigelow Aerospace.'"

Eliaquim Mangala (FC Porto to FC Barcelona)
22-year-old Eliaquim Mangala is one of the brightest, young talents in world football. European heavyweights such as Chelsea and Manchester City reportedly scouted him earlier in the summer.
Barcelona have been unsuccessful in their attempts to sign David Luiz and Daniel Agger this summer and have struggled defensively in recent years.
Mangala would be provided with ample first-team opportunities - a dream move for any modern-day footballer.
The Catalan outfit may have to cough up over £23million to land Mangala from FC Porto, who rate him as one of the very best.

Paradesi (U)
Release Date
such a very good film and the song avatha paiya is awsome i feel y the song going finish very nice gv...
Having just viewed the film - 'Paradesi' I felt that the first half is rather drawn out, but does provide a good grounding for the development of the characters and their 'natural', 'free' life style The sense of dramaic expectation begins to develop at the ending of this first half, when the villages make their long treck to their new employment. The growing horror of the situation which they find themselves in is well developed. Perhaps more could have been done with the 'Raj' types than the very steriotypical portrayal of them (very poorly acted as well)The very dramatic ending summed up the predicament that the 'Raj' put many of its subjects into. Overall a very gripping and effective story line and result. It would be interesting to know how the tea plantations, and other Empire industries in India, changed after Independence - if at all- under Indian regulation.
The impact Paradesi has created is toooooooooo much to expresS.......one of the thing is i had EVEN given away the habit of drinking TEA............if someone asks me what is film making,i would suggest them to see this movie...nd from now Hollywood film makers will start saying that they have to direct a film like Paradesi.....hats of BALA...what's next?????
ya movie is good but background music not enough .
good movie splendid performance by team gv music is good and bg score is very very good

Olga was very helpful and responsive to questions. Thanks, will use again.
Excellent professional service with a company I have been using fro several years. Would not hesitate to use for future golf trips. Bill Edinburgh
Very good customer service and good value green fees. Only slight issue was my first transfer to Sheraton pine cliffs was around 15 minutes late which meant we were unable to have a practice putt, however the other transfer was fine
Marta was first class to deal with and is a credit to your company. Her communication was excellent and customer care was delightful. Booking for next year in Malaga, who would I contact for best deals. Thank you for all your help will use you again. Iain from Bonny Scotland TeeTimes reply:Hi Iain ! Thank you for your kind comments . Marta can deal with your next holiday in Malaga .
I can´t evaluate transfers, accommodation and car rental as we haven´t used these services. But we´have been cooperating with Tee Times for years and we are satisfied ove all.
We used Tee Times Golf in many occasions and we were extremely satisfied with response, professionalism and friendliness of the staff. All our requests were dealt with simple, trouble free and with professional perfection. Well done, couldn't be better!
Ivica and Flavia Nikolic TeeTimes reply:Thank you Ivica and Flavia foryour kind comments
both courses are ok
When I wrote a mail I did not have an answer for several days. As we where close to the date for leaving, I called and takkede to Olga. I had a very fine talk with her. She made everything ready for us in one Day , and was also very helpful with changing tee times. So many thanks to her.
We have been very satisfied with out Holliday.
Kind regards Sonja Bremer TeeTimes reply:Thank you for your feedback, and your compliments on Olga . That will make us feel we need to improve even more in our service, as we understand the first @mails didn't reach you.
I was disappointed to pay 30 euro for golf club hire(before 12 o clock) having got excellent clubs for 10 euro at Oceanico old course(after 12 o clock) two days previously. The web site said 20 euro for club hire when I was booking my tee time originally. The course was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vilamoura. TeeTimes reply:Vila Sol did charge 30€ for club rental and we do provid club rentals for 10€ at our shop .
The price of the buggy was 45euro per round which is too expensive.

Near-Gem Proof 1855 Seated Liberty Dollar1855 $1 PR64 PCGS. In the mid-1850s, beginning with 1854, survival of Proof Seated Dollars seems to have increased from former years. Like previous years, the number of survivors is not specifically known, and is subject to debate. Walter Breen suggested that 50 to 60 examples still exist, while Dave Bowers felt the actual number of survivors is much smaller, in the range of 20 to 30 coins. Current research suggests that the actual number of pieces known today is more in line with the thoughts of Breen on this matter. To date, PCGS and NGC have certified 34 Proof examples of this date in various grades from PR61 to PR66. In the past 30 years, a large number of Proof Seated Liberty Silver Dollars have come into the market place from major long-time holdings. These include the collections of Pittman, Norweb, Eliasberg, Garrett, Starr, Stack, and others. During this same period of time, and especially since the advent of third-party certification in 1986, many other examples have also turned up. Since these and other major collections have been sold, many of these coins have made repeated appearances in public auctions over the years. As a result, pedigree tracking is extremely difficult. Some coins are cleaned and recertified at different grade levels, obscuring pedigree markers that were formerly present. Exact survival numbers are difficult to pin-point today.
This Choice Proof example is fully brilliant on both sides, with deeply mirrored fields. The devices are satiny with proof finish as well, thus there is little cameo contrast. A tiny dark spot below the left base of the final A in AMERICA will serve as a pedigree marker. This is a splendid example that will certainly please the connoisseur. Population: 8 in 64, 4 finer (10/05).

Broadway Idiot - American Idiot Show Documentary

I caught it on SkyArts when it was shown a few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised. It was very well done; I thought maybe it would be a tad too much a sycophantic, self aggrandising ego-show ; but Green Day haevn't morphed into Bono/U2 or Jon BonJovi just yet, thankfully.
I remember the cries of surreality when it was mooted, announced, and then in theatre; a pop punk band, an album more-or-less literate if a bit naive in poltiical stance, and taking that to Broadway. However, it works, and it works bloody well!! The music - especially the uptemop, high octane numbers, worked brilliantly.
It's a well paced realisation of the project, and after viewing, you do come away with a respect, an understanding of the whole deal, and a wish to see it for yourself!

An online inventory of your belongings could help reduce insurance premiums – and let you sell things on eBay with one click
Read more: "Lifelogging: This is your life, on the record"
THE word "lifelogging" may bring to mind gadgets that track your fitness, take pictures throughout your day to record what you have been up to – even your Facebook posts. But the phenomenon is about to move beyond the realm of gym rats and the picture-obsessed into the mainstream. From making us safer drivers to letting us search our recorded memories, a host of tools promise to influence our lives like never before.
Most lifeloggers gather information about themselves every day, whether by keeping a photographic record, or just measuring how far they run during a workout. But the field has spent too long focusing on gathering information, says Steve Whittaker of the University of California in Santa Cruz, a psychologist who has been studying lifelogging technologies for the last eight years. "I'm fed up with the idea that it's enough to just record stuff," he says. "It's log first, applications after. We should be moving into a new phase where you try and see what the point of having all that data would be."
Several firms and research projects are answering Whittaker's call. Trov, a start-up based in San Ramon, California, is building a digital locker for people to record their possessions – allowing them to manage their belongings just as our emails, music, photos, documents and so on are managed online.
Jim Gemmell, Trov's chief technology officer, envisions logging every detail of our interactions with our possessions, whether house, car or collectables. This will give us more flexibility over how we use them, he says. Haven't ridden your bike in a year? Think you should sell it and upgrade the running shoes you use all the time? Trov will know.
The firm is starting small, providing customers with a means of logging their possessions to receive discounted insurance premiums. But Gemmell's plan is to turn it into an intelligent hub for your belongings. "Imagine posting to eBay in one click," he says. "If I have all my stuff in cyberspace, it's ready for me to manipulate it." Trov has already partnered with eBay to speed up the digitisation of assets by importing receipts for items bought on the site.
Trov has also partnered with lending companies so that users can get loans simply by offering up digital records of their belongings as collateral. This could turn Trov into a kind of a digital pawn shop.
As Trov grows, Gemmell envisions allowing users to digitise their car's service record, for example. That way it could automatically update a mechanic as it pulls into the shop, showing the last time the car was serviced and how hard it has been driven since.
Car insurance company Progressive has been experimenting with logging drivers' habits for over a decade, and in 2011 the firm rolled out its Snapshot programme. This uses a device plugged into a car's on-board diagnostic port to record driving information, which is then reported to the company. "The basic idea is: couldn't we price insurance more accurately and fairly if we measured how you drive as an individual instead of relying on the average behaviour of people in your age group and gender?" says Dave Pratt, who oversees usage-based insurance at the firm.
Progressive has logged 14 billion kilometres of driving this way, and the data has helped the company refine its risk models for different classes of driver. Pratt says the programme has also helped change drivers' habits. "We see a measurable change in behaviour," he says. "When people first plug in the device they have more hard brakes than after they've got some feedback. We see improvement."
Pratt says Progressive is looking into using the data to help customers avoid dangerous stretches of road – if lots of drivers brake hard at an intersection, Progressive might route customers away from it through a satnav or app, for example.
For Whittaker, it's important that such services always give their customers full control over their data – something Trov says it does, but Progressive does not.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York has the same concern. "When markets form around logging activities, the question that consumers should always ask is: Is the value of what I'm revealing worth the services I'm receiving in return?" he says. When that trade is unequal, corporations can end up with undue levels of control over people's personal decisions.
If those pitfalls can be avoided, the potential is huge, Selinger says. "If you have accurate records about the past, then you can use that data to predict the future."

Apple releases iTunes 11.0.3 with MiniPlayer updates and speed fixes
Apple is keeping its famous iTunes software current just after Google I/O on Wednesday, with a new update bringing the software to version 11.0.3.
Most notably, the update adds new views to its MiniPlayer, a feature introduced with iTunes 11 that offers a smaller way to control your music. Now, you'll find two new views: an album artwork view and progress bar view - both of which look quite nice.
The update also adds support for multi-disc albums. If an album has multiple discs, they now appear as a single album. Furthermore, Apple says the 11.0.3 update adds performance improvements when searching and sorting large iTunes libraries.
You can download iTunes 11.0.3 from Software Update on your Mac, or directly from Apple's iTunes website.

As Liberia enters this important era of the Agenda for Transformation and the Roadmap for National Reconciliation enshrined in the Liberia Rising Vision 2030, a development framework that will immensely contribute to making Liberia a middle income earning by the year 2030, it is very important that Liberians and the general public should refrain from manipulating the judiciary for personal benefits.
All over the world, the judiciary is a critical element of the democracy process. The judiciary, often referred to as the third estate after the Legislative and executive branches of government is sometimes vulnerable to manipulations by interest groups that sacrifice the national interest for the kickbacks and other benefits that they may get in brown envelopes for reasons of coercing or influencing verdicts and decisions rendered by the courts.
The judiciary in Liberia needs to take measures to thwart tendencies that have the tendency to act unprofessionally by manipulating them to take decisions under pressure. Those days are gone when, for example, the judiciary was at the mercy, whims and caprices of the executive.
In countries with dictatorship regimes where the rulers govern with an iron-fist, there is often a gross disregard for the rights of citizens and blatant abuses of public offices. In such countries the citizens live in fears, as there is no difference the personal bank accounts of the leadership and the national coffers. In such countries the judiciary is absolutely manipulated by the executive.
In this era of good governance and poverty reduction, it has been observed that one way to reduce poverty is equity before the law and social justice for all. The rule of law should always take a center stage. The necessary incentives including training and promotion on the basis of merit should be given to members of the judiciary. The process of judicial reforms to match with current realities are on course and some visitors have begun indicating that Liberia has some of the best laws embedded in the national Constitution.
The new threat that has come to public attention however is the tendency for human rights and civil society groups to influence the judicial verdicts for reasons of the kickbacks that they receive in brown envelopes from their sponsors.
The general public should be very mindful of such groups who use the motive of human rights and civil society advocacy to camouflage their real hidden agenda. Very often, such groups are quick to influence the opinions of judges, justices of the Supreme Court benches, and even the jury at moments of rendering verdicts in sensitive cases.
A glaring example of such behavior can be illustrated by the involvement of some Human Rights groups such as the Independent Civil and Human Rights Center, the ECOWAS Women Political Movement among others in the cases concerning Milad R. hage Real Estate case on the one hand and the alleged passport theft case involving an Indian woman by the name of Madam Marpue.
The question that is being asked is why are the above groups laying so much emphasis on the rendering of justice in these two cases when in fact there is no foul play suspected? What the public needs to be educated about is that it is absolutely illegal to comment on cases that are before the courts including the supreme court as such comments have the tendency to influence decisions and verdicts rendered in such cases.
Indeed the role of civil society and human rights advocacy groups should be, to capitalize on instances of injustices in the dispensation of justices, to advocate for social justice, they should serve as catalysts of national development and social justice, but not when cases are in the judicial process.
This is important because as cases arrive at such points, evidences adduced and other vital information that influence decisions including legal citations in favor of party litigants from both sides are before the judges, and not necessarily the press or other groups. Human rights and civil society groups should also be a formidable force in bringing to the attention of the general public and the authorities instances of human rights violations, vices such as corruption and nepotism.
What human rights and civil society groups should be mindful about is that where their rights end, there the rights of others begin. It is a warning to the general public and those advocating for rights that in critical moments of cases, it will be better to stay put to avoid an infringement of the law.
We therefore hope that the public will take due note and govern themselves accordingly. It is unprofessional for any civil society and human rights group to advocate in a way that influences the opinions of courts for the case of personal gains.

How to fly a private airplane in Japan
Once you have managed to somehow get an airplane, or join a friend for a flight in Japan, you will find that actually it is very easy to fly in this country. The general aviation traffic is generally light, however there is a significant amount of helicopter traffic over the large metropolitan areas like Tokyo, Nagoya or Osaka. The country is beautiful, with the mountains and the ocean very close by wherever you go. The large cities are spectacular from the air, especially so at night.
If you are flying into Japan, please read Mr. Imahashi's article. Alaska-Russia-Japan2006(courtesy Felix Maguire)
Flight plans are mandatory for all flights of more than five miles away from the departure airport or in case you intend to land at a differnt airfield (even if it is as close as Ryugasaki and Otone, just two miles). You file with the Civil Aviation Bureau (CAB) office in charge of the region you are in. Anybody in the airport office will be glad to help. On a number of airports (those having official CAB designators), you also can file in person while getting an update on the weather. Somewhat similar to the Flight Service Stations in the US. There is no need to open the flight plan after departure, all plans are "considered to have departed". The form for a flighplan is pretty self-explanatory. Be very careful about the duration of flight you indicate, however. Different than in other countries, the Japanese CAB will immediately after your ETA has come and they did not hear from you initiate a search. First by calling the airport of intended arrival, but if you are not there (yet), a full-blown SAR is getting under way quickly. Thus, if in doubt, plan a few minutes more in order to avoid unnecessary irritation.
A wonderful institution in busy airspace (such as around Tokyo Haneda or Narita), and highly recommended. Works identical to VFR Flight Following in the US. The only difference is, you are talking to a special controller, not the one who also handles the IFR traffic. They are both sitting next to each other and are looking at the same screen, but as VFR traffic you will get your individual controller on the ground. All controllers are speaking very good English and communication is easy and friendly. Excellent attitude towards general aviation.
No surprises here. Works same as Class D airspace in the US. If you have a control tower, you need their consent to fly into their airspace. Call approx. five to six miles out. If you want to land, you need to be cleared, same for taxi, take-off etc.
This is different from what you may know. Virtually all fields have a so called "Flight Service" or Radio" station. You call a few miles out to get the local weather information, and they will also tell you which runway is in use. Different from the US, however, this is much more than a casual "advisory" from a Unicom operator which you may or may not follow. Clear advice here: Follow what you have been told as if it where a towered field. Some "Flight Service" stations (notably Oshima, south of Tokyo, with lots of traffic on weekends) will even tell you to "hold at present position" when the operator thinks that more than three airplanes is too much in the pattern or "report on a left downwind" when things look fine for you to get closer. Whereas these are uncontrolled fields (and you won't be "cleared" for anything) follow the advice, these folks know what they are doing.
Lingua Franca is English, and you will understand most of what's being said on the frequency. Be prepared, however, for some Japanese communication as well. Japanese pilots have a choice to talk either Japanese or English, and the controller or flight service operator will (usually) respond in the language spoken at.
For many of our international friends, this statement may sound surprising. But Japan is not as General Aviation unfriendly as it sometimes apprears abroad. With a little planning ahead if you are a short term visitor, or a some amount of effort in case you are a foreign resident of Japan, a lot of interesting things can be arranged in order to make the skies of Japan accessible.
In case you are a pilot visiting Japan and are here only for a couple of days, you are most likely interested to know how to arrange a short hop around the pattern or what to do in order to get a sightseeing trip above Tokyo or Osaka.
Unfortunately, due to Japanese air traffic regulation, there is no possibility to acquire a short-term permit based on your pilot licence. Hence, a solo flight is out of reach in Japan.
However, around Tokyo as well as around Osaka there are a number of possibilities to join a member of AOPA Japan on a short excursion, or to arrange a sight seeing trip. If you sent us an e-mail sufficiently in advance, we would be happy to try to arrange something for you. Please understand that this offer is subject to availability of planes and pilots (particularly if you intend to fly on a regular weekday) and has to be -as a matter of course- depending on the weather.
Airfields are some distance afar from the city centers, so please bring sufficient time for commuting back and forth as well as for the actual flying. From Tokyo, you should calculate to spend the better part of a day with such excursion. Language might become a problem, so if at all possible, bring along an interpreter or a friend/colleague who speaks Japanese.
Some popular destinations from one of the airfields around Tokyo are:
Chofu Airport, in the southwestern corner of Tokyo is reasonably accessible from downtown and is a good staging point for scenic flights. Honda Airport at Okegawa in Saitama Prefecture to the northeast of Tokyo is farther away from the City Center and offers similar possibilities for local flights. Ruygasaki is a small uncontrolled field right under the northern approach into Narita airport. Some members of AOPAJ have their personal airplane stationed here. Ami airfield is a small but active nice field. Located north of Narita, it is accessible within 90 min from downtown Tokyo and offers a variety of sighseeing flights in the area. The author of these web-pages keeps his personal airplane at Ami.
Flying is not an inexpensive hobby in this country. Your host pilot or aircraft owner therefore would indeed appreciate a token of sharing the cost of fuel and oil on your excursion.
Please contact us in case you are interested to go for an excursion. We are happy to try and make arrangements.
Be forewarned:
The process of having your licence validated in order to get you to fly solo legally in this country is complex and requires time and patience. Also, some knowledge of the Japanese language is essential in order to pass the test for the required Radio Operator's Licence. However, with perseverance, one will succeed and finally be able to take to the skies for the best and most individual view of Mount Fuji you ever had...
To Fly Solo
You need the following documents in order to fly legally solo or to rent airplanes in Japan:
- A Pilot Licence, issued by the Minister of Transport
- A Medical Certificate, issued by an appropriately authorized Japanese medical practitioner
- A Radio Operator's Licence
Validation of foreign licenses
In order to get a Japanese Pilot License based on your foreign ticket you would need:
- Your original Pilot Certificate
- Logbook, and a copy of all pages
- Copy of your passport and Foreign Residents Registration Certificate
- Application for Validation (available from the Ministry of Transport)
- A recent passport picture in the prescribed size
Filling in the application is complex, as "total hours" and similar items of flight experience are defined differently in Japan as, e.g., in the United States and need to be recalculated based on the entries in your logbook. Have a Japanese friend, best with knowledge about aviation, assist you in this process.
The aviation authorities will need approx. two month to process your application. Please be prepared for additional questions and requests for further information. In case your Japanese is not fluent, assign somebody speaking the language as point of first contact. The staff at the aviation authorities is not necessarily strong in English, but they will need to receive complete and accurate answers to their requests.
Irregardless of the level of your certificate and your ratings you will receive a Private Pilot Certificate. For Commercial or ATP Certificates and Instrument Ratings you would have to go the "official" way of obtaining those through the respective tests from the authorities. The civil aviation authorities will not issue those license simply based on you holding corresponding ratings elsewhere.
From summer of 2000, they require Japanese aviation law exam to acquire a Japanese license by transfer. The exam is in English. There are AOPA-J members who have gone through process who can assist you. Join AOPA-J!
Flying a US-registry airplane in Japan based on a FAA license is widely accepted by the authority (how American Airlines fly their 777.) When you fly this way you have to submit paperwork that airlines do; it is cumbersome but done by many private aiplane owners.
Medical Certificate
You will need a Medical Certificate issued by a designated medical practitioner. In the table below are listed a number of doctors who are eligible and also speak English. If you can obtain a Medical Certificate in your home country you should have no difficulties to obtain this document in Japan.
Name Location Telephone Ray Kikuchi M.D. Haneda Airport 03-5757-1122 (fax 1123) Kazuhito Shimada, M.D. Haneda Airport 03-5757-1122 Kisaburo Sato M.D. Fukushima 0245-75-3231 Yoshiki Shioyasu M.D. Tachikawa, Tokyo 0425-22-5234 Toshihiko Sato M.D. Tonosaki, Aomori Pref. 0172-275101 Hisakatsu Hashimoto, M.D. Hiroshima 082-244-5577 Mikio Takeuchi M.D. Sapporo, Hokkaido 011-694-5555
All medical practitioners listed above are pilots and/or members of AOPA Japan. Those with e-mail contact are underlined.
Also, there are a number of medical practitioners in Japan which are authorized to issue Medical Certificates under FAA rules. Dr. R. Kikuchi, senior FAA AME, above, is one of them. He is a AOPA-J Vice President. Also, Dr. H. Marshall, M.D. and Dr. K. Fujii, MD, both at Tokyo Medical & Surgical Clinic (03-3436-3028) are entitled respectively.
Radio Operator's License
Legally, you can not operate as Pilot in Command in Japan without this document, which you will have to obtain by successfully passing a written and an oral test. Such test is required also in case you come from a country where you already had to take a test and are in posession of a radio license. Essentially, there are two ways to take a test:
In case you have some command of the Japanese language, in particular "kanji" characters, you should consider joining a Preparatory Session (koshukai) arranged by the "Association for Radio Communication (Denki Tsushin Shin Kyokai)", which is entitled by the Ministry for Telecommunication to administer the respectice tests. Such Preparatory Session is held four times per year and takes two and a half days, mostly from Friday to Sunday, with the test run immediately after that. This session results in you obtaining the certificate "Koku Tokushu Musengishi", which in turn enables you to fly for recreation in Japan. As a matter of course, you also may attempt to master the test directly at the Association without a specific Preparatory Session, although the subjects of the test are not without substance (Radio Communication Law, Technical Aspects as well as Western Alphabet) and attendance (so far) virtually guarantees success. The Preparatory Session is not inexpensive, but the Association is very helpful and will go for great lengths to assist foreigners in particular.
Should you not be able to speak and read Japanese, or in case your goal is to fly commercially in Japan, you have the option to join a prep seesion to obtain the radio operator licence required for commercial pilots. The upside with this method is that the ground school classes as well as the tests are administered in English language. This is the way all professional pilots working for a Japanese airline take to get their certification. The downside is that the subjects are highly complex and require indepth study and familiarization with all technical aspects of radio communication, radar and radio navigation. The prep session alone usually lasts for one full week with daily classes, followed by the test on the final day. The prep courses are held in irregular intervals at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.
AOPA Japan has contacts to training institutions preparing the future pilot to take both exams mentioned here. Should you be interested to learn more, please do contact us.
Similar to continental Europe or America's northwest or northeast, weather is a big factor in Japan. Most good VFR days are found during the winter months, between October and March. Summer gets hot and humid, and from middle of June to late July, we have to cope with the rainy season.
A Disclaimer
Please do not consider this to be a legal document, or absolutely complete and applicable to all situations. If you are indeed interested to proceed for yourself in the near future, contact AOPA-J. We almost always have foreign resident pilot members.
