Free Agency News: 7/3/12 Roundup
As is the case with free agency every year, it's been a busy week filled with headlines for numerous stars and the smaller pieces that might go unnoticed. Here's a quick recap of the major deals and rumors that have gone down in the past week.
Hawks Trade Joe Johnson to Brooklyn Nets:
I already covered this one earlier today, but the Hawks sent their All-Star guard and his not-so-All-Star contract to Brooklyn in exchange for the majority of the Nets' bench and a future first round pick. Atlanta finally accepted Johnson and Josh Smith weren't working out and the overpaid Johnson left for Brooklyn in exchange for Jordan Farmar, Anthony Morrow, Johan Petro, Jordan Williams and DeStawn Stevenson. The Hawks are looking like they'll struggle during the 2012-13 season, but their next acquisition might help a little bit.
Hawks Acquire Devin Harris from Utah Jazz Trade:
Don't get too excited, Atlanta. You're still going to be sorry next season, but at least the acquisition of Devin Harris from Utah will ease the incredible burden that's been placed on Josh Smith's shoulders. The Hawks sent Marvin Williams to the Jazz in exchange for Utah's inconsistent point guard as Atlanta's new GM Danny Ferry has wasted no time making his intentions clear: getting rid of the the organization's two peskiest (and overpriced) contracts in Johnson and Williams. With so much money being cleared out, the Hawks are clearly trying to make room to make big moves, possibly for Dwight Howard or Chris Paul should he not resign with the Clippers. Whether high-caliber moves such as these happen this offseason or the next remains to be seen, but Ferry has done an excellent job with these two moves to ensure the Hawks see long term growth. Plus, Harris isn't a shabby point guard and can certainly help a team out with 3-point shooting when his shot is on. His streaky shooting and overall inconsistent play makes him a bit of a gamble from week to week, but the Hawks need a revival and certainly got the upper hand of this trade with Utah. The move is particularly curious for the Jazz, who gain little from shopping their starting point guard for a former number two draft pick who hasn't ever lived up to expectations.
Deron Williams Still Undecided:
At first, Brooklyn's trade with Atlanta for Joe Johnson was contingent upon whether or not Williams resigned with the Nets. However, the deal went through anyway, leaving the Nets in limbo waiting for their All-Star point guard to decide between resigning or heading to his hometown of Dallas to play with Dirk Nowitzki on the Mavericks. Williams is likely to make his decision known within the next one or two days, either liberating Brooklyn from the ever-growing concern they might only be left with Joe Johnson's ridiculous contract or turning Dallas into a much more dangerous force in the West. We've already been over what the Nets would look like in the backcourt with Johnson and D-Will, but if the Mavericks get their hands on Brooklyn's star point guard, the combination of Williams and Dirk could get interesting.
Lamar Odom Goes To Clippers:
A few days ago, the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks worked out a deal that sends Lamar Odom back to his former team in exchange for Mo Williams. As part of a four-team trade, Odom will try to restart his career where it began in Los Angeles as Williams moves on to the Utah Jazz. I don't see the move as a good one for the Clippers for the time being, but if Odom can play more like the Sixth Man of the Year that he once was, it could prove to be beneficial in the long run. The acquisition of Williams for the Jazz meant they had an extra guard, which might help explain why Devin Harris was shopped for Marvin Williams.
Bulls Looking for Veteran Guards:
With Derrick Rose likely missing a significant chunk of the next NBA season, it's no surprise the Bulls are looking for veteran guards who won't eat up too much money and can step in to take over while their star point guard recuperates. The Bulls have already reached out to Derek Fisher and Brandon Roy and while there are no solid deals to report on yet, keep your eye on this one. Fisher is also being pursued by the Thunder, Heat and Mavericks while Roy is fielding offers from several teams as well.
Celtics Hoping to Resign Allen, Bass, Green:
Despite the popular opinion that Ray Allen will be in a Miami Heat uniform next season, Danny Ainge has said that the Celtics are making resigning Allen a priority, along with Brandon Bass and Jeff Green, who may be able to return to Boston as a free agent. While the possibility of resigning all three of these Boston regulars may be difficult, I wouldn't doubt that they get their hands on at least two of those three. Allen has been offered deals with Miami and the Memphis Grizzlies, but would make the most money if he stayed in Boston. It will come down to whether or not he believes he can win with Miami and whether or not he'd be willing to take a pay cut to do so, but for the time being, nothing has been decided regarding Allen, Bass or Green yet.
Dwight Howard Drama Continues:
Dwight Howard came out and said there's only one team on his list earlier this week, and although he wouldn't say outright that it was the Nets, no one else seemed capable of being that team if not Brooklyn. Until yesterday, that is, when the Nets basically took their names out of the Howard sweepstakes with an ill-advised trade for Johnson, who will take up a considerable chunk of cap space. The Mavericks and Hawks are both clearing room for big offseason acquisitions, so Howard might want to think about adding more teams to his stubbornly short list. Howard said if he doesn't get traded to the one team on his list, he would play the season out and then explore free agency, although the choice is not his to make if the Magic decide to shop him.
Steve Nash's Future Still Unclear:
The Toronto Raptors made Nash a 3-year offer, which Phoenix seems unwilling to do at this point. The Suns are leaning toward a 2-year deal if their All-Star point guard stays, but with the drafting of Kendall Marshall, they seem to be preparing for the worst. Nash says he is keeping his options open, which is a smart decision considering his large number of suitors, which includes the Knicks, Mavericks, Raptors and Suns. At this point it seems more and more unlikely Nash will stay in Phoenix, but to leave one non-contender for another doesn't seem like something an aging veteran in search of his first title would do (ruling out Toronto).
Roy Hibbert Offered Deal by Portland:
The Portland Trail Blazers are looking to strengthen their frontcourt even further after offering All-Star center Roy Hibbert a four-year deal for $58 million. The Blazers went through a major upheaval last season and had a disappointing year but adding Hibbert to LaMarcus Aldridge would form a formidable team in the paint, especially with rookie Meyers Leonard likely coming off the bench. However, if Hibbert is smart (and not motivated primarily by money), he'll stay in Indiana. After such a disappointing playoff performance with the Pacers, Hibbert definitely has something to prove to his team, a squad that can actually contend in the East if they continue to mature.
That's all for now, but keep checking back for the latest free agency news and analysis.
Joe Johnson Heading To Brooklyn
The Atlanta Hawks and the Nets have agreed in principle to a trade that would send All-Star guard Joe Johnson to Brooklyn. The deal was contingent upon Deron Williams resigning with the Nets at first, but eventually went through anyway, regardless of whether Williams returns or not. Atlanta will clear out a huge amount of cap space with Johnson's enormous contract out of the way and will receive Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar, Jordan Williams, Johan Petro, DeShawn Stevenson and a 2013 lottery protected first round pick.
In the short term, this seems like a questionable trade for Atlanta, but with the big picture in mind, getting rid of Johnson is the first step in trying to assemble a team that can actually compete for an NBA title in the future. Johnson hasn't lived up to the giant $119 million contract he signed two years ago with Atlanta and at this point, it seems the Hawks have accepted that they can't contend for a championship with only Josh Smith and the overpaid Johnson leading the way. Shopping Johnson clears up a large amount of money to put pieces around Josh Smith, and although the likes of Morrow, Farmar and Stevenson does't give much hope for the 2012-13 season, rest assured the Hawks will put their new draft pick to good use and make some big offseason moves to turn things around.
For Brooklyn, this deal is extremely questionable. Aside from nearly sending away their entire bench, the Nets may have just eliminated themselves from the Dwight Howard sweepstakes for this year. Even worse, they may not end up with anything now that the deal is underway without Deron Williams committing to Brooklyn first. Williams and Joe Johnson pairing up would make a formidable backcourt, but there's no question the Nets would rather have had Superman and Williams over Johnson and Williams. And at this point, they might not even get Williams, meaning the Nets could lose their All-Star point guard, miss out on Howard, send away almost all of their reserves and end up with only Joe Johnson's large contract to show for it. The fate of the Nets lies with Williams now, as they wait for him to make his decision between Brooklyn and his hometown Dallas Mavericks. But for the time being, the Nets' big offseason plans may end with Johnson and fall well short of any dreams fans had of seeing Dwight Howard and Deron Williams on the floor together.
Boston Finishes Atlanta At Home
The Boston Celtics advanced past the Atlanta Hawks at home after their Game 6 victory at home in front of a rocking TD Garden. Kevin Garnett came up big for the Celts, who squeaked out an 83-80 win and will now face the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round.
The man of the night for Boston in the decisive Game 6 was Kevin Garnett, who led the Celtics with 28 points and 14 rebounds. And despite playing with an MCL sprain, Paul Pierce also gave Boston a lift with 18 points while Rajon Rondo chipped in 14 points and eight assists. Josh Smith led Atlanta with 18 points and nine rebounds and Marvin Williams was also big, hitting four 3-pointers to finish with 16 points. In fact, everyone in the Hawks' starting rotation did their part except for Jeff Teague, who finished with just five points on 2-of-9 shooting. Although, Horford missing a one of two free throws that would have tied the game with just over two seconds to play was also a big blow that finished off the Hawks. It was the only free throw Atlanta missed all night, but it turned out to be the most vital.
The key to the series was the Celtics' depth and the Hawks inability to get a little bit more out of their two superstars. Boston had the luxury of alternating big nights between their three biggest stars (Rondo, Pierce and Garnett), while Atlanta never quite got enough out of Josh Smith and Joe Johnson. Smith and Johnson were certainly the Hawks' most consistent players in the series, but they couldn't sting together any truly great performances on the same night, so no surprise a team with depth and multiple contributors overwhelmed them in the end. Al Horford's return in this series was definitely an added boost, but the Hawks still don't have enough depth and production from their starting lineup to push Boston to a Game 7.
So now the Celtics advance to take on the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round, who advanced by the virtue of numerous Chicago injuries. This means Boston has a much easier path to the Eastern Conference Finals than they would have if Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah had been able to stay healthy. However, injuries are a part of the game, and they could become a factor in a Sixers playoff series again if Boston's aging veterans keep getting banged up. Pierce has the MCL sprain, Ray Allen is playing with an ailing ankle and Avery Bradley is still playing with a dislocated shoulder. But as long as the Celtics' key players are able to stay healthy and give 100 percent, Boston should have no problem closing this series out in five games.
Al Horford Leads Hawks Past Celtics At Home
Al Horford and a balanced offensive attack from Atlanta lifted the Hawks to an 87-86 Game 5 victory at home over the Celtics yesterday, forcing a Game 6 to be played in Boston on Thursday night.. The Hawks' victory put the series at 3-2 and prolonged their playoff life for at least one more game.
After missing almost the entire season with a pectoral injury, Al Horford had a decent outing in his return in Game 4, but Boston blew the game wide open. But last night, on Atlanta's home floor, Horford's solid performance on both ends of the court was able to elevate his team to a narrow victory. Horford led the Hawks with 19 points and 11 rebounds, but he also provided the defensive play of the night for Atlanta by guarding Rajon Rondo in the game's final seconds. Rondo felt Horford's defensive pressure and lost control of a crossover, which prevented him from getting a shot off. But while Horford led the way, the rest of Atlanta's starters weren't far behind. An all-around balanced offensive effort from the Hawks was what made the difference in Game 5: Josh Smith had 13 points and 16 rebounds, Jeff Teague had 16 points, and Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams had 15 points each.
For Boston, Paul Pierce fell back into subpar shooting, finishing with 16 points. Kevin Garnett also had 16 and Brandon Bass added 14. Rajon Rondo only had 13 while Avery Bradley, who has been a consistent contributor in the second half of the Celtics' season, only played 18 minutes through the dislocated shoulder and had just two points. Ray Allen continued to play well despite the ailing ankle and put up 15 points. But in the end, mediocre performances from the majority of Boston's starters wasn't enough in Atlanta to wrap the series up and give the Celts some much-needed rest should they advance to the second round.
Atlanta will need to find a way to duplicate this performance for Game 6 on the road. They'll also be hoping that Paul Pierce doesn't feed off the home crowd's energy and go ballistic like he did in the Game 4 rout, because if he does, Atlanta will be going home empty-handed in the first round of the playoffs once again. The Hawks could also do with a little more production out of Joe Johnson and Josh Smith on the offensive end; 87 points might not be enough on the road against a Celtics team that is deadly in the TD Garden. From Boston's perspective, all they really need to do is respond and take care of business at home with a focused and high-energy effort. If Pierce can have a decent shooting night, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett will do what they do. And if Avery Bradley is healthy, the Celtics will benefit from having him and then Ray Allen coming off the bench, which would more than likely be too much for the Hawks. Even though they would have liked the chance to rest, Boston could afford losing Game 5 on the road. This veteran squad will realize they need to wrap things up at home to avoid a dangerous Game 7 back in Atlanta and should take care of business.
Paul Pierce And Celtics Rout Hawks
Celtics fans had been waiting for Paul Pierce to have a good shooting night in Boston's series against the Atlanta Hawks. With his 10-of-13 shooting, 24-point performance, Pierce finally gave the fans what they wanted. Boston extended a 13 point first quarter lead to 23 by halftime and never looked back, grabbing a 3-1 series lead in their 101-79 Game 4 rout to spoil Josh Smith and Al Horford's return.
I expressed concerns that Joe Johnson and Jeff Teague would only be able to keep up their high level of production without Josh Smith, but it turns out that even with him back on the floor they struggled to produce. Johnson finished with nine and Teague was even worse with just seven. Smith led Atlanta with 15 points and 13 rebounds while Horford had 12 off the bench. But the Hawks starters really didn't play too much in the second half after Boston extended the lead to as many as 37 in the third quarter. We've seen this from the Atlanta Hawks in recent years: a gifted, athletic and talented team amasses a solid record in the regular season but doesn't turn many heads, then falls flat on its face in the first or second round (usually with a few extremely underwhelming performances), which turns into a recurring cycle when they do the exact same thing the next year and no one is surprised. It's tougher to criticize a team that played without a former All-Star for the majority of the season, but Atlanta should be competing better than this.
Despite the crowd loving every minute of Paul Pierce's big first half, everyone in Boston held their breath when he went down with an apparent knee injury in the second quarter. Fortunately, he worked his way to the stationary bike and came back to play for a little while in the third quarter before he and other Celtics battling injuries were able to get some much-needed rest. In fact, no Celtic played more than 30 minutes other than Rajon Rondo and Brandon Bass. Because the aging Celtics played so well in the first half, they benefitted from a lot of rest time in a game that was pretty much over by halftime. Avery Bradley, who was playing through a dislocated shoulder, only played 19 minutes before sitting down. Ray Allen, who had 12 points in his second game back after missing almost a month with ankle problems, also played just 19 minutes before sitting down. It didn't take long for the Hawks to recognize Game 4 was beyond their grasp and they rested their starters, but with Boston's stars getting so much rest after packing such a wallop that fast, all the momentum heading into Game 5 in Atlanta lies with the Celts.
Boston is a dangerous playoff team despite their aging bodies and a myriad of minor injuries. If they can stay healthy, they should benefit from an easy path to the Eastern Conference finals now that it looks like Philadelphia will move on past the injury-plagued Chicago Bulls. It's crucial for this team to finish the Hawks in Game 5 on the road and give themselves as much time to rest before the next round as possible. Atlanta needed to elevate their game to have any chance in this series, but with Josh Smith missing a game and tonight's catastrophe of a game, the Hawks are as good as eliminated at this point. Horford looked decent in his return, but the first game back is always the easiest because adrenaline and excitement to be back on the floor takes over. To win this series, the Hawks would have to win three straight while dealing with the inevitable team chemistry issues that would arise from reinserting a former All-Star into a lineup that has become used to playing without him. With Ray Allen back and Rajon Rondo not giving referees any reason to eject him, the Celtics are an extremely tough playoff team, and that Hawks just don't have the firepower this year to advance past the first round.
Celtics Outlast Hawks In Overtime
Joe Johnson and the Hawks hung around for as long as they could and even went on a late run to send the game to overtime without Josh Smith on the floor, but Rajon Rondo and the Celtics pulled out the win to take a 2-1 series lead. Although he didn't score in the first half, Rondo had a triple double (17 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists) in his first game back after serving a one-game suspension for bumping into referee Marc Davis in Game 1.
Johnson, Jeff Teague and even Tracy McGrady off the bench made up for Josh Smith's absence with strong offensive performances, scoring 29, 23 and 12 respectively, but even a 15-4 spurt to send the game to overtime wasn't enough to get a crucial Game 3 victory on the road. Unfortunately for Atlanta, no one else scored more than six and the Hawk's three other starters (Kirk Hinrich, Marvin Williams and Jason Collins) put up a combined seven. Other than Rondo's triple double, the Celtics were able to outlast Atlanta thanks to Ray Allen's 13 points off the bench in his first game in almost a month and Kevin Garnett's 20-point, 13-rebound night. And despite another up-and-down shooting night from Paul Pierce, he was still able to lead the Celts in scoring with 21.
The fact that Atlanta competed in Boston without one of their top scorers and rebounders (not to mention Zaza Pachulia and Al Horford, who's been out all year) is a good sign for the Hawks, but if Smith isn't 100 percent for Game 4, there has to be some concern about whether or not Johnson and Teague and can continue to put up offensive performances like that without any reinforcement from their supporting cast. Boston has concerns of their own, but their problems might be more long-term if Smith doesn't look fully up to speed when he comes back from the knee injury. The first problem is Avery Bradley's dislocated shoulder. He's being listed as questionable for Game 4, but because they were unable to pop his shoulder back into place, it could be more serious. Bradley has developed into a quality starter for the Celtics with his lockdown defense and expanding ability to score. Another concern for Boston is Brandon Bass' mediocre performance thus far. Bass has only put up eight points in all three playoff games, a significant drop in production considering the above-average regular season he's had this year. If the Celtics advance to the next round, they'll need Bradley to be healthy and Bass to contribute more to stay competitive.
Josh Smith expects to play in Game 4 for the Hawks, which is a pivotal game for Atlanta to stay alive in the series. They will need Pierce to struggle with his shot again and they have to hope Smith is 100 percent, but Atlanta can win if Johnson and Teague play as well as they have been so far. Boston will be tough to beat at home, especially now they Ray Allen has returned to add more playoff experience and leadership to this veteran team. But if Boston somehow drops Game 4 at home, the Hawks will have life again.

The most limiting and most variable environmental factor affecting the productivity of plants is water. Whenever adequate water is not available, farmers have always tried to irrigate their crops. Irrigation water has always been in short supply, but it is becoming a scarce commodity in many regions. Even where it is available, pumping and/or transportation costs have increased dramatically in many locations. Today the profitability of irrigated agriculture is dependent of efficient use of water. The effective and efficient use of irrigation is dependent on four factors.
1. The effect of irrigation on plant production.
2. The best system for a given field and water supply.
3. Determining how much water to apply at peak use rate and when to apply it.
4. The quality of the water.
This chapter will discuss these aspects of irrigation.

The squacco heron is a migrant, wintering in Kenya. This is a stocky species with a short neck, short thick bill and buff-brown back. In summer, adults have long neck feathers. Its appearance is transformed in flight, when it looks very white due to the colour of the wings. The squacco heron's breeding plumage is recognized by sky blue bill as clearly seen in the photo above with a black tip. It prefers marshy wetlands as a breeding site. The birds nest in small colonies, often with other wading birds, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. This species being a terrestrial bird, is mostly seen in lakes, river valleys, swamps and other permanent or temporary freshwater wetlands in Kenya Rift Valley, Lake Victoria rice fields, Central highland ponds and on both north east and south cost of Kenya.
Tag: Birding safaris
Hemprich's Hornbill is huge dark brown bird, with a massive dark red bill. The breast is dark, with a white-belly and the outer tailed rectrices is white. In Kenya, this bird is sparsely distributed in rocky hillsides and cliffs in arid and semi-arid country with records from Lake Nakuru around Menegai crater, Lake Baringo, West Lake Turkana, Ortum and Kongolei escarpment.
Ross's or Lady Ross as it sometime called is a medium-sized bird, with a long tail and broad, round wings. They have three toes on each foot that point forward, while the fourth toe can be rotated forward or backwards. Males and females differ in that females may have a greenish beak. This Beautiful Turaco is seen in mostly on the western side of Kenya Great Rift Valley mostly in areas around Tugen Hills and El geyo escarpment. Ross's Turaco is a very social bird, seen mostly moving is a small noisy flock of 2 to 7 birds. They spent most of their time among trees in search for fruits until evening when they nest solitary on a plat form of twigs.It is an easy bird to Identify because nothing else in our region is like it.
Leis, Herbert, Joke and Koos are clients we hosted for 20 days birding trip in Kenya and Northern Tanzania. It was a productive trip in terms of species listed. Check out for our trip report which will be posted soon on this blog!Cheers.

African Pygmy Kingfisher is a small insectivorous kingfisher found mostly in woodland habitats and not necessarily restricted to wetland.In Kenya, its range widespread in bushland of Lake Baringo, Kerio Vallye,Samburu,Meru and Nakuru National and southern parks of Amboseli, Tsavo East and West. Its habitat range from woodland habitats, savannas and riverine forests, but also scrublands, grasslands, open rivers and streams, coastal bushes, plantations and gardens.The dark blue crown of the adult separates it from the African Dwarf Kingfisher. The smaller size and violet wash on the ear coverts distinguish it from the similar Malachite Kingfisher.

A medium-sized, attractive water bird, the greater painted-snipe (Rostratula benghalensis) is unusual amongst birds because the female is larger and more brightly coloured than the male. The female greater painted-snipe has distinct white patches around the eyes, which contrasts the dark red-brown head and neck. The upperparts are dark bronze-green with fine black barring and the wings are dark grey, white and gold. The male greater painted-snipe has a conspicuous golden eye patch that sits in stark contrast with the grey-brown head, ash-grey neck, and white streaked throat.
In Kenya it is widespread from sea level to over 2000m, but uncommon, highly erratic and seasonal. Frequent marshy and lakes like Lake Baringo, Lake Nakuru and central Kenya swamps.

Brainstorming Mind Mapping using Mind Maps for Creativity and Generating Ideas
In my previous post on Bubble Diagrams and Mind Mapping I mentioned the confusion between these thinking tools. Well another common confusion I often encounter is that Mind Mapping is described as "brainstorming". Now whilst it can be used for brainstorming, Mind Mapping has so many other applications as well so defining it in such a restrictive way is rather limiting. So what I want to do in this post is give you some idea how you can use Mind Mapping for Brainstorming, creativity and the generation of ideas.
Capture ideas at the spead of thought – using a mind map maker designed to help you focus on your ideas and remove all the distractions while mindmapping. Create unlimited mind maps for free, and store them in the cloud. Your mind maps are available everywhere, instantly, from any device. Brainstorm, create presentations and document outlines with mind maps, and publish your ideas online and to social networks.

Did you know the total US interest payments in Fiscal Year 2013 were a whopping $415 billion, roughly 17% of total tax revenue.
Here's the thing, though– it's inappropriate to look at total tax revenue when we're talking about making interest payments.
The IRS collected $2.49 trillion in taxes last year (net of refunds). But of this amount, $891 billion was from payroll tax.
According to FICA and the Social Security Act of 1935, however, this amount is tied directly to funding Social Security and Medicare. It is not to be used for interest payments.
Based on this data, the amount of tax revenue that the US government had available to pay for its operations was $1.599 trillion in FY2013.
This means they actually spent approximately 26% of their available tax revenue just to pay interest last year… a much higher number than 17%.
This is an unbelievable figure. The only thing more unbelievable is how masterfully they understate reality… and the level of deception they employ to conceal the truth.
One should always keep money outside their home country….. and in various currencies

Sammanfattning : In both the private and work spheres, multitasking among three or more activities has become and is continuing to evolve as a pervasive element of everyday life, and recent technological advances only seem to be exacerbating the process. Despite attempts to understand the mental processes that let humans successfully multitask, little is known about the functional cognitive level at which these mental processes take place. LÄS MER

4. Accommodating differences Power, belonging, and representation onlineDetta är en avhandling från Stockholm : Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University
Sammanfattning : How can political participatory processes online be understood in the dynamic, conflicted and highly mediated situations of contemporary society? What does democracy mean in a scenario where inequality and difference are the norms, and where people tend to abandon situations in which they and their interests are not recognized? How can we accommodate differences rather than consensus in a scenario where multiple networks of people are the starting point rather than a single community?In this thesis, these questions are explored through an iterative process in two studies that have used or resulted in three prototypes and one art exhibition. The first study is of communication practices in a global interest community, which resulted in two prototypes: Actory, a groupware that takes differences rather than equality as the starting point for a collaborative tool, and The Affect Machine, a social network where differences are used as a relational capital.

Recently in Birbhum district, a tribal woman was tied to a tree on the orders of a tribal and was allegedly gang raped as a punishment for falling in love with a man from a different religion.
What are the reasons behind such ghastly incidents?
What might be consequences of these? Is there a lack of political will to crack down on such councils which are running in gross violation of law or are there some others layers to it as well? Or there is meagre representation of women in the political arena? Or Women have become a challenge in race of getting their rights, hence are being denied for their most basic right, that is, right to vote.
What might be consequences of these? Is there a lack of political will to crack down on such councils which are running in gross violation of law or are there some others layers to it as well? Or there is meagre representation of women in the political arena? Or Women have become a challenge in race of getting their rights, hence are being denied for their most basic right, that is, right to vote.
In 1936, Bombay legislative council debate, the speech by BR Ambedkar clearly stated that "the community which denies equality and promotes orthodoxy and encourage prejudices in favor of inequality, casteism, sexism . Can these communities can be trusted for justice? I don't believe we should surrender ourselves in hands of such communities".
For ages it was believed that the different characteristics, roles and status accorded to women and men in society are determined by sex, that they are natural and therefore not changeable.
Incidents like Birbhum indicates the mentality of our society on one hand, and on the other hand it represents the political unwillingness of the concerned authorities. India is a democratic country, atleast in words and deeds as far as elections are concerned. Elections are held at regular intervals for State Assemblies and Parliament, how far they are fair and transparent is a debatable question. But, they do not reflect the true consent of people because a large number of women are "missing" from the electorate. According to an estimation, more than 65 million women (approximately 20% of the female electorate) are missing in the voters list. Thus, what these elections reveal is the preferences of a population that is more or less skewed against women. And this preference is also a key factor in gender inequality.
The "missing women" phrase was coined by Amartya Sen. He did a study a found that the ratio of women to men in the population is suspiciously low in developing world. The worsening sex ratio in India reflected the gross neglect of women. Missing of 100 million women was attributed to gender discrimination. And the key reasons found were- "boy preference at the birth", "mistreatment of young girls", "partiality throughout the life". Similar study showed that the number of female deaths from intentional injuries or violence was alarmingly high in India.
There is agreement over the fact that the phenomenon of gender inequality is one of the most prominent problem faced by the developing world recently. And the way out is only through political action and public policy.
A study carried out by the professors at the Indian School of business computed the sex ration in the electorate across all the states in India over last 50 years. The analysis brings upfront 3 shocking facts:
- The absolute number of missing women has increased four times from 15 million to 68 million. This indicates the worsening of the trend with time. In terms of percentage, it has gone up from 13% to 20%.
- The adverse sex ratio for backward states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh has become worse. And this trend has not significantly changed over the 50 years.
- With the exception of few states like Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, the sex ration in the electorate is far worse than the general sex ration in the population.
These trends suggest that there are more missing women voters in the population, so, fewer female voters can raise their opinions through elections. Political decision are based on election outcomes which also under-represent the female population. It is not a true reflection of the female policy preferences.
Not all the women who are eligible to vote in Indian elections are registered to vote and, hence, missing from the electoral list.
These worsening gender inequality in Indian electorate has long lasting consequences due to the democratic system of governance in India. Politicians compete to get elected and their policy preferences are also different, and this adverse sex ration make it more likely to neglect the preferences of women.
Competitive electoral process make this situation worse by perpetuating the gender biased policies in India. Because the fact is that the politicians respond to their vote banks or the existing electorate in the population and not the missed ones.
The participation of these missing ones would definitely going to influence the government policies and decisions. Unfortunately, even if an individual politician is not biased against women in his policy preferences. But the binding with party, the electoral competitiveness, and the will to win ensure that he chooses policies in favors of his traditional electorate which is male dominated in India.
This can easily explain why gender bias has persisted in Indian society for so long.
Despite having a well functioning democracy from such a long time, and higher per capita income, India is the worst performer in the Gender Inequality Index(GII) of the World Bank. GII is the indicator for loss of achievement due to gender inequality within a country. It is based on measures of labor participation and empowerment. India is ranked 133rd out of 146 countries and even lags behind Iraq and Sudan which frequently faced war and adversaries
Way Ahead
Many opine that women's reservation in Parliament and State Assemblies can address this gender bias problem in India. But the not so successful experiment of women's reservation at the level of Panchayat since mid 1990s suggest the limited impact of the solution.
Professors at Indian School of Business coined the term-"compensatory justice", which suggest that the impact of the reservation depend on the exact nature of reservation policy.
For example, if seats are reserved on a quick rotation basis then there might be no long-term policies favoring women and thereby having minimal impact. On the other hand, if seats are reserved for a certain number of election rounds then the impact would depend on the basis of the reservation at the constituency level. The objective of compensatory justice is that it should start with those constituencies where the neglect is highest. Thus the reservation policy of a constituency should be based on the gender ratio there. Because an adverse gender ratio is a measure of neglect of women in that society, and it would work in more localized and targeted way.
However, again the challenge is competitive electoral process. Even in reserved constituencies where there are less women than men, women political candidates who compete with each other to get themselves elected might choose policies which favor men. And again the whole process might perpetuate gender-biased policies.
To summarize, the competitive electoral process in Indian democracy with or without women's reservation will fail to deliver policies that are not gender-biased. In the presence of missing women, whose consent cannot be taken into account in the electoral process, democracy will fail to deliver policies that promote women's welfare (especially in those situations where there is a divergence in opinion between men and women). India can begin to address this disaster by first recognizing that an adverse gender ratio is a human rights problem which is an outcome of the sustained, gross neglect of women. And the solution for this lies outside the competitive democratic system, may be in the society first.
The importance of gender equality can be summarized in UN Secretary General Kofi Annan statement, "Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance." There is a need for new kinds of institutions, incorporating new norms and rules in the real world that support equal and just relations between women and men.

I'm not going to lie to you and say that this book jacket isn't 100% what got me interested in reading this. I saw a jean jacket looking sleeve with pins on it, and all but screamed this was made for me! Once I read the inside cover (after purchasing it) my thoughts were verified completely.

Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines
Fangirls, I'd like to start this off by saying that I did not have high expectations for this book. I threw it onto my stack of books to buy at Barnes and Noble because I had a gift card, and thought "what the heck, why not?" That doesn't mean this book is bad, it just isn't the book for me.
Nerds Gotta Drink: Mabel Pines' Spooky Brews
Fangirls, I just adore Gravity Falls. I think it's one of the most rad shows out there, and I get so pumped that it's a Disney show! A couple weeks ago I read Dipper & Mabel's Guide to Mystery and Nonstop Fun, and one of the activities in it were two drinks, suggested by Mabel. Originally there was no alcohol in them, but I changed the recipes just a bit, so there could be some!

High Fructose Zombies: Interview with David Phillips & Sarah Braly
Hey Fangirls! A couple weeks back I was lucky enough to go to Special Edition: NYC and meet some absolutely lovely independent creators. I think independent creators are some of the most amazing and inspiring people on the planet. They make what they love, and to me, that's beautiful. Two of the individuals I met at SE:NYC were David Phillips and Sarah Braly. Let me tell you, Fangirls, these folks really know how to catch an eye. In a sea of grey and blue tables, their's was neon green. It was littered in lovely yet despicable cupcakes, and had some really intriguing comics on top. So when my friends were looking for back issues that I wasn't concerned with, I sneaked off to the High Fructose Zombies table.
Coffin Hill Issue 3 & 4
Hello again, my witch loving Fangirls! Coffin Hill is filled with some pretty weird shit, and it seems like it's just going to get weirder. Last time, Eve Coffin and her police chief friend Nate found a ton of skulls in Coffin Forrest, and from the looks of it, the crazy isn't going to end there.
The Walking Dead: "The Grove"
So, I'm warning you now, this is a sad one. This was a surprisingly full episode full of an equally surprising amount of loss!! The episode follows Carol, Tyrese, Lizzie, Mika, and Judith as they happen upon a small pecan farm.

Has anyone seen this chicken at Hallmark?
|Photo: Hallmark
She sings a song and lays plastic Easter eggs. My boys thought it was hilarious when the cashier showed them, and of course begged for her to do it again, and again, and again. Just as we were getting ready to leave my older son yelled out, "That chicken is shedding eggs!" Except he pronounces his "e" like an "i."
Once again: "That chicken is shidding eggs!"
Yeah, died laughing.
Oh, how I love Easter. It is perhaps my favorite holiday. But...I haven't posted much this week because I don't really decorate for Easter. I don't do a lot of cute Easter projects with the kids, or make a big deal out of the Easter bunny. What I try and do (especially today) is remember our Savior, whose resurrection promises new life to all who follow Him. I am floored by His amazing love, and my prayer is that today you will feel it too. Love y'all.

ARCHENEMIES by Marissa Meyer
SOFIA AND THE UTOPIA MACHINE by Judith Huang
Sofia and the Utopia Machine fills an important space in Singapore literature not only as an young adult book but as science fiction. I don't remember coming across any local YA books when I was in primary and secondary school. In fact, when I was still in secondary school, I wasn't interested in Singapore literature precisely because it seemed to be geared towards adults. In that regard, it's heartening that local YA books have gained more visibility in recent years.
ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART by Katherine Webber
MIRAGE by Somaiya Daud
For some reason, I've had a significant slow down with YA novels this year. I've just not been able to settle down and focus on reading, no matter how intriguing various books sound. Most of the time I've resorted to audiobooks for which I tend to pick non-fiction books. Thanks to a long haul flight though, I had no distractions to keep me from Mirage. I was happily entertained.

- 6.5.0
- Enterprise
Community Planned
This page contains information about the following patch published for Sense/Net ECM Enterprise Edition:
- version before the patch: 188.8.131.5263
- version after the patch: 184.108.40.20604
Release date: 4 November, 2015
Please note that patches, upgrades and other packages are published only for the Enterprise Edition. Community customers may perform the upgrade manually after the next community release.
Installing the patch
To install this patch, please follow the following steps.
SnAdmin folder and configuration
Make sure that you have a complete SnAdmin folder in your web folder and the configuration (connection string, paths of other web folders in NLB system) is correct (especially for the SnAdminRuntime.exe tool in the Tools folder). Please read that article carefully about executing a package - for example when to stop and start the web site, how to configure the tool.
This package contains a long-running SQL script. Please make sure that SQL and other timeout values are set to a high value in SnAdminRuntime.exe.config.
Execute the package
This patch contains the following package. You should copy it to the SnAdmin folder and execute it (the SnAdmin tool is inside the Admin\bin folder):
SnAdmin snent-patch-22.214.171.12463-126.96.36.19904
It is highly advisable to make a complete backup before executing a patch to make sure that no information gets lost.
Copy task executors
You will have to update task executor tools on agent machines manually. Sense/Net ECM deploys the new versions of these tools into the web\TaskManagement\TaskExecutors folder.
Check the results
You can review the log files created for the execution or - after restarting the website - you may open the new Version Info page accessible from the Root Console.
Patch contents
In this article we list all the important new features, bug fixes and breaking changes that were made in the product since the release of the previous patch. To check previous change logs, please visit the following article:
Binary handling
We made a significant change in the way we handle binaries in the database. Previously every file version (e.g. 1.0 Approved, 1.1 Draft, etc.) had their own binary. That meant duplicate rows in the db even if only the metadata have changed. From now on when it is not necessary to copy the actual binary content in the database (for example the user simply wants to check out the file), we won't make duplicates. We can do this because from now on we store binary content in a separate, standalone table called Files. This saves some storage space and makes some operations faster, but the most important reason for this feature is that it is the foundation of future speedup and architectural changes: for example we will be able to make text extraction only once instead of loading and parsing the same files over and over again. And we will be able to implement that file system storage feature that our clients are waiting for.
For developers
- Security component integration
- The Permission API became simpler and more intuitive.
- Membership handling (adding/removing users and groups to/from a group) is faster and more robust.
- OData
- Finally it is possible to create content from a template via an OData request.
- A new action has been added for making sure that all preview images are available: CheckPreviews.
- Working with allowed child types got a lot easier: the new EffectiveAllowedChildTypes field gives you the aggregated, effective list of types that can be used to create new content there. Two new actions (AddAllowedChildTypes, RemoveAllowedChildTypes) were added to let you manage these values from the client side.
- A new SnAdmin conditional step was added for querying the database for a scalar value and making a decision based on it: IfDatabaseValue.
- A new workflow activity added for monitoring content changes in a folder or library: WaitForContainerChanged.
- We started to refactor our code base to remove compile warnings from the solution. These changes will not likely to introduce any breaking changes, in most cases this is about not calling obsolete methods internally, or making the code more clean and robust.
For portal builders
- The workspace wall is able to display pasted links as clickable links or embeded images or videos.
- Reference Field values (e.g. related documents) are displayed as a link in the grid in content list views.
- Notification: sender address can be set in the NotificationConfig content. If not set, the default value from the web.config file is used.
- moment.js is upgraded from version 2.7 to 2.10.6 ([| changelog])
Breaking changes
- We made our Permission API simpler and easier to use. From now on we have a single entry point: the SecurityHandler class that contains both an instance and a static API for accessing and modifying content permissions. The SecurityManager class has been removed, please redirect all your method calls to that class to the SecurityHandler class.
A detailed article about the security component and how to use the permission API is on the way.
Resolved bugs
- Document viewer
- Document viewer reloads correctly after uploading a new document if it contains fewer than 5 pages.
- Workflow
- When a workflow must be aborted (e.g. because of a related content change), the state becomes Aborted correctly, instead of Completed. This lets us preserve aborted workflow instances instead of deleting them.
- WfContent class tries to save the content again if setting a property causes NodeIsOutOfDateException. This makes workflow execution more robust.
- Back url provided for actions is not encoded on the server to prevent double or incorrect encoding (e.g. spaces).
- Binary export: Binary Field skips stream writing to the file system if the CurrentDirectory of the export context is null or empty.
- The built-in calendar list view handles UTC times correctly.
- A schema relative url (that works with both the http and https protocols) can be used in a css import statement with bundling switched on.
- A YesNo Field can be used in a CTD, not only on content lists.
- Lucene manager lock file notification mechanism is able to handle several recipient e-mail addresses separated by ',' or ';'.
- OData $filter query requests that contain the enableautofilters or enablelifespanfilter parameters will honor these values.
Known issues
- For the Task Management component to work, you need to open the task management website url to the internet, because the task monitor UI connects to the task management web application directly through SignalR.

Wine is one of my favourite things in the world. I love learning about wine, talking about wine, tasting different wines, and visiting wineries. I grew up making wine with my grandparents so wine is definitely a big part of my family culture. My dad still makes wine today!
It has truly become a passion of mine and I am currently reading "Wine Folly" to learn more about wine in general. Whether or not you are looking for a wine-related gift to give to a friend, family member, or maybe just for yourself; I have your back!
This is going to be a list of 5 of the best gifts for wine lovers. So let's begin!
5 Best Gifts For Wine Lovers
- Wine Folly: The Essential Guide To Wine:
This is the book that I am currently reading and it has gotten amazing reviews. It is a great book for any wine lover that wants to learn more about wine. This is a great gift to give to someone for their birthday, with a bottle of wine 😉
This book is for sale on Amazon and you can purchase it here.
2) Wine Lovers Notebook:
Okay so this is a little bias because I designed this notebook but I think that this lined notebook is the perfect gift for any wine lover! It is great for someone to write their wine tasting notes or just to use as an everyday journal. Always half full represents always staying positive and always making sure that your wine glass is at least half full. (Wine not included)
This notebook is for sale on Amazon.com or Amazon.ca if you live in Canada.
3) Wine Socks:
These wine socks have been very trendy the last year. They are now sold by multiple companies and are fairly inexpensive for wool socks. I have a pair of these socks and I love wearing them in the winter. They are a fun gift to give to your friend or family member that loves wine. You can purchase these socks here.
4) Wine Tumbler:
Wine tumblers are a great gift for someone who likes to drink wine outside or at the cottage so that no bugs get in! These swig stemless wine tumblers come in many different colours and are great for both men and women. They are vacuum insulated and stay cold up to 9 hours and hot for up to 3 hours. I think that they would be a great little gift!
5) Wine Subscription Box:
There are so many different wine subscription boxes these days (here are 22 brands that you can look into). These subscription boxes typically send 2-3 wine bottles to your front door every month. There are many different options. This is not a inexpensive gift but I think that it is very unique and would make any wine lover ecstatic. I still need to try this!
That is the end of my 5 gifts for wine lovers list! I hope that you enjoyed it and if you have any other blog requests feel free to leave them in the comments down below!
