text: Film ID: YFA 82 BEARDSELL FAMILY RECREATIONS 1936 Visitor TabsDescription This is a film from the Noel Beardsell Collection about his family, including a whimsical film from the point of view of their pet dog. Lastly there is a film from three years later of a motor cycle race at Wooley Edge. The film begins with the family relaxing on the beach at Scarborough. The Victoria Hotel can be seen behind them. A boy is digging the sand, and a girl in a sun hat skipping. A young woman sitting on a deckchair eats an ice cream wafer. A group of children, all wearing sun hats, scoop water from the sea in their buckets. The beach is filled with people on deckchairs taking in the sun. They get on the cliff top train ready to depart, before the film switches. Intertitle – Colour in the Garden A boy helps the gardener tend the garden which is covered in flowers, many shown close up. A small boy plays with a model airplane and then rides around on a tricycle. He feeds the fish in the garden pond and plays with a ball with other family members. His older brother joins him on his bicycle. The chauffer drives off in the car. There is some clever photography. The small boy plays with a dog. Intertitle – Gog's delight. Written, adapted, produced and directed by "Whiskers". At the camera Noel T Beardsell Intertitle – First take a good look at me There is a view of a dog. Intertitle – Two meet my leading lady Mrs Beardsell is drinking tea. Intertitle – and the juvenile lead! There is a small boy. Intertitle – get a move on, we're leaving today The family have a picnic on the side of a country road, with the dog tucking in. Intertitle – "We film producers get very fagged – I'll take a nap while the gang clears up." They clear up the picnic things, while the dog takes a snooze. Intertitle – and now for a quick fade out – Tail out of the first great WHISKERS Production. To be continued . . . Title – Motor cycle racing at Wooley Edge (1939) (Col. faded) A large crowd has gathered in the countryside, and lots of cars are parked up to watch. Motor cycle riders line up. Each rider wears a number on their back. They race up a hill, around a dirt track, and across fields. Spectators sit watching dotted around the circuit, some with tents.

Why Continuity Programs Work and How They Benefit You
Your electricity bill comes every month. You make sure your car payment is paid on time. Same goes for your cell phone and your cable TV/ Internet provider. You've signed up for a continuity program with these companies. The amount of the bill is debited from your checking account automatically.
Is it any different with your needed health supplements? Some would say yes, it's different. Others may say it's a very necessary expense and worth having it automated so they don't run out.
I've been taking a high potency fish oil over 10 years. I also take EpiCor everyday for the last ten years. Now for the last 3 years I've been taking Berberine for my high triglycerides. Berberine also fluffs up my cholesterol particles and makes them less sticky or dense so they don't lodge into the artery walls. It's not a short term thing, that I can do without. My goal is not to have perfect cholesterol, my goal is to live a long life and play games with my grandkids. Perhaps, I'll live in good health long enough to see my great grandkids. Savannah is 4 years old. So I have about 18 – 25 years to wait. Hmmm… At 83, twenty years from now, I'd like to take a picture with my great grand baby. My mother is 83 and she has 3 grandkids to dote on.
Now, I said I've been taking Epicor to protect my immune system for 10 years and that is true. Did I ever run out and forget to order them? Yes, I did. For the first few years of starting my business, I ran the fulfillment and shipping. I had shelves and a warehouse and a daily pick up scheduled with carrier services. If I personally ran out, it was as easy as reaching up to the shelf and taking a bottle. Hey I owned $10,000 worth of supplements as any given time. What a great position to be in!
A few years ago, I contracted with one of my vendors to do the fulfillment for me. They are located in Georgia. It's a long drive to get there from Maryland. So I can no longer reach over and grab what I need. I have to order product just like you do. So to answer the question, yes about two years ago, I ran out of Epicor and didn't reorder it right away. Days turned into weeks. I am a little ashamed to say, weeks turned into months. I found myself in England for ten days and on the flight home, I started feeling weird. Cough, sore throat and eventually after a week of battling, I went to see the doctor and they confirmed that I had strep throat. I can't be 100% sure that I wouldn't have gotten sick had I stuck to my regimen, but I had never gotten sick before or after this event. I've heard this same scenario from many of my customers. So I am religious and consider it my sacred duty to stay healthy. Therefore I have several autoships set up for my personal benefit.
Is it worth it to me to make sure I don't run out of these items? You bet! It's annoying as "heck" to have your electricity bill go unpaid and one day you wake up with the lights cut off. Or maybe one evening you try to turn on the TV to relax and Comcast is telling you, you forgot to pay your bill. I have automatically connected BillPay to a checking account to ensure that these essential services get paid on time. I am sure you have the same or something similar in place to make sure you can retain those services. If left up to me, I'd be late or missing payments all the time. But getting sick, feeling terrible and missing out on work time and not able to enjoy rest time, it's worth it to keep up with a regimen you know works.
These auto cycle programs are called "voluntary continuity programs."
Some dietary supplement companies are clever and tricky, offering you a $1 trial to test a product or offer for you to just pay shipping, then 14 days later smack you with an $89 charge that covers that original shipment. Their business model relies on the fact you are busy and you won't read your credit card statement, notice the charge, until the 2nd bottle arrives a month later with an accompanying charge. By month 3, you are sick of the company and it takes an hour or more to try to undo the charges, by phone or email, if it's at all even possible. More than likely, you will have to dispute the charge with your credit card company. Sometimes, you get so mad, you call the Attorney General's office.
Those programs are called "Forced Continuity." It's practiced by many companies in the dietary supplement industry.
However, at Optimal Health Bridge, we don't do that. Not at all.
We want you to sign up for our autoship or Advantage Shipping and here's what you get:
A product you selected that you need in your ongoing health regimen, like True Omega-3 or Ubiquinol, Epicor or Berberine. Instead of paying full price or waiting or looking for coupons, you can get the lowest price with our Autoship Advantage Price plus we cover the shipping charge of $5.99.
We need as many continuity customers as we can get. I am honest about that. For us to stay in business we have to produce and stock about $10,000 worth of product all the time. If we have X number of products going out by autoship, it enables us to plan production better. The larger our production the cheaper we can get the product produced. This is another benefit for you as a customer, better pricing.
For example, True Omega-3 240 capsules has been $42 for several years. Generally there is a 10% discount available and a shipping charge of $5.95. So we take off $4.20 and then add $5.95. However, if you were to order that same bottle on autoship, it's $35 and free shipping for you. We pay the shipping. You can get that delivered every 30 days or every 40 days or any other cycle. The 40 day schedule is to be used if you take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 in the evening. If there are two people in the household taking True OMega-3 then your reconfigure and we can help you devise the right schedule.
We are also very happy to ship every three or four months. Monthly autoships can run up the overhead. There is always a handling charge, box charge and carrier charge. If we send you 3 bottles of Epicor every 3 months, then you get a lower price, free shipping, and you stay healthy.
Recently, I had knee surgery and was asked not to take any supplements for 7 days prior to surgery, and 7 days after surgery, so this threw off my schedule for two weeks. Easily remedied with a login to the back office. If you don't have time, just send an email to email@example.com and Marci or I will adjust the schedule for you. Mornings you can generally get one of us on the phone if needed on our toll free number 877-572-3444. If it goes to voice mail, leave your name and number and a short description of your issue and we'll call you back asap.
Almost all of our products are available on autoship some with small savings, some with much larger $$ savings. It depends on the source and manufacturer, but why pay $42 for something you can get for $35?
I hope I made a good case for relying on autoship. We are honest and don't try to sell you products you don't need. We will adjust the timing and cycling and we always sent out an email 10 days before your products ships. If you have concerns, just call 877-572-3444for expert help and guidance.

Except for the 2nd Bush, we seemed to get a fairly equal amount of infrastructure and growth for our debt spending since the Reagan days. Obama was just inexplicable. Unless, I can see some buddies of his w/ YYUGE growth in their worth, I cant IMMAGINE WHAT that 10 trillion of Obama's was going for. It's strange,but I'd rather know SOMEONE got rich on that than think it's spent and NO ONE knows where it went. The only individuals w/ huge spending and cant show anything for it are addicts. Driving around my community looks bad. It reminds me of the working class communities of the Carter era.
Impending Catastrophe!??!

How to Spot Good Cannabis
Dank, loud, top shelf, primo, fire, kind bud… you get the point. Whatever you call it, a seasoned smoker knows good cannabis when they see it. But is it all about what the buds look like? To answer the question, we've put together a quick guide to good grass based on the five senses. Here's how to tell good weed from the not so good.
The Look
While the appearance of your cannabis isn't everything, it definitely has a lot to do with quickly identifying if it's any good. Your buds should be generally green in color, with specks of purples, oranges, or reds thrown in – though it's debatable if those orange hairs, or pistils, actually mean it's better in quality.
Indica buds tend to be tight and dense, while you can expect sativas to be more light and fluffy. Either way, you don't want weed with lots of visible stems or excessive leaves – that's a sign the plant didn't get the TLC it deserved.
Most importantly, good cannabis will look frosty and crystally. If it sparkles in the light, you've hit the jackpot. Those crystals are trichomes, and that's where all the cannabinoids and terpenes are stored. The frostier it looks, the more flavorful and more potent it will be.
The Feel
The look of your cannabis will greatly affect how it feels. For example, those pistils should make your bud feel a little bit hairy. You want it to be slightly dried so you know it was cured well after it was harvested. Curing the weed basically means that the plant is stored away after it's trimmed in order to preserve the terpenes and cannabinoids stored in those trichomes. A well-cured harvest is more flavorful, smooth, and potent (a good average THC content is between 15-25%) – you can literally feel the difference!
All those trichomes should leave your bud feeling sticky, too. Roll it through your fingers and see if there's any residue. Sparkling fingers means you found some good stuff.
The Smell
Identifying good cannabis by the smell is pretty simple – if it smells dirty, or like hay, it sucks. The scent of your stash should be pungent. It should fill a room when you open your bag (which is why we sell each Dime Bags bag with a smell-proof pouch!). If it lacks a smell, if it doesn't make you want to take a big whiff, it's a sign of poorly grown or poorly cured buds.
Those terpenes each have their own profile, and they affect the smell, taste, and effects of each strain. Terpenes can make your pickup smell like musk, herbs, citrus, pepper, wood, flowers, pine, and more. Combos of terpenes lead to unique scents – like a bouquet of buds, if you will.
The Taste
Similar to the scent of buds, terpenes will affect the taste of your weed. That first hit of greens should taste fresh and flavorful. People who have smoked cannabis and said they don't like it because it "tastes gross" most likely smoked some mids.
The Sound
The sound of your weed is kind of a stretch here (but this is a post about the five senses, right?) but at the end of the day, it still matters! If your cannabis is super crunchy when you break it up, it can be a sign that the buds have dried out. While you can still roll it up, it'll probably burn faster without much moisture. Look for buds that have a satisfying "snap" when you break them off the stem, without being too noisy when grinding them up.

Life as the Limestone Cowboy – Bob Anderson talks darts, javelin and Eric Bristow
"That damn horse gets more publicity than I do," Bob Anderson chuckles. "None of it was my idea. I think horses are fabulous creatures, but there isn't one alive that likes me. For a cowboy to say that, it's pretty hypocritical. That horse was incredible — an ex-police hunter, 17 hands. I was far more bloody nervous than he was."
It is quite a line; a curious snippet of a curious chat that — at various times — slips from John Wayne to Phil Taylor to an Olympic javelin career. The horse, the cowboy, the police-hunter — this is far from an archetypal darting chinwag. But then, Anderson, now 70 years old, is far from your archetypal darts player.
The horse in question arrived on the scene at the 1995 PDC World Championships, with Anderson strolling onto stage alongside the stallion at the sport's historic Circus Tavern arena. The walk-on lasted less than a minute, with Anderson trotting nervously ahead of his equine companion.
Yet, the moment's enduring popularity — a combination of both legend and infamy — has allowed the spectacular entrance to stand the test of time. The footage is grainy, the Tavern setup a reminder of an entirely different era; the whole episode could well have been shot on a potato — it is closer to a moving picture than high definition. Yet, few moments in the sport's history could claim to have veered much closer to the lofty heights of viral acclaim.
As has become the norm in the age of social media amid an obsession with short-clip video, any clip — no matter its length or inconsequence — possesses a unique capacity to define its subject. Anderson laughs as he recounts the everlasting association. "I still get people coming up to me asking if I'm the guy that walked on with the horse," he says.
"And then I get others saying: 'Were you Bob Anderson?' I just reply: 'Yes, and I still am!'"
Indeed, he still is — even thirty years on from claiming his one and only world title, where he beat John Lowe in a tight final. The tale of the horse — a pièce de résistance in the Professional Darts Corporation's early efforts to add an entertainment element to a sporting product — has, in a sense, ensured that Anderson's is a name that remains synonymous with the sport's new generations.
The advent of the idea came in the birth of the Limestone Cowboy, as christened by Sid Waddell. It was a nod to two major aspects of Anderson's life; the Limestone hills of Wiltshire, where he lived at the time, and the films of John Wayne.
Though the inimitable Waddell would also describe him as 'Wootton Bassett's answer to Burt Reynolds', it was Wayne who captured Anderson's own imagination, leading to the Winchester-born athlete's calling, complete with vaquero attire and the walk-on music, fittingly, of Glen Campbell's Rhinestone Cowboy.
It was a distinctive appearance for a man whose route into the sport places him somewhat apart from his peers. To search for a modern-day equivalent most probably reaches Gerwyn Price, who cut short a career in professional rugby to take up the sport full-time.
Anderson's circumstances differ most profoundly in that it would be injury that would cut short an athletic career on the brink of the 1968 Olympic Games. The Mexico City Games are, one might reasonably argue, among the Olympic movement's most significant.
It was there — fifty years ago — that Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two black Americans, raised their black-gloved fists as they stood on the podium. It was an iconic stand for civil rights. Dick Fosbury won gold in the high jump in a performance that would bring the Fosbury flop to the world. George Foreman would win heavyweight boxing gold.
That Anderson was an elbow injury away from joining them is an intriguing thought. It is one that contravenes the stigmatic agenda still held by an albeit shrinking minority of the makeup of the darts player.
Alongside his athletics career, county cricket trials at Gloucestershire came and went, while life as a bustling centre-forward saw similar auditions at Southampton, Exeter City and Brighton and Hove Albion.
Anderson went on to enjoy a solid non-league career, playing for Woking, Lincoln United and Farnborough Town among others. Yet, darts would become his calling — first, when a slip saw his Olympic dream come crashing down, and then when a broken leg ended his football career.
There is, perhaps, an irony in that a crippling elbow injury would take Anderson from the javelin to his eventual vocation, throwing far smaller spears.
"I broke the bone while throwing a javelin for a photographer in the pouring rain," he explains. If there isn't resentment, there is certainly a tinge of regret in Anderson's' voice.
A natural sportsman, the Olympics are the holy grail, an amalgamation of all the sports and all the disciplines, all squeezed into one fortnight-long festival.
"I'm one of these people," he laughs. Regardless of what I'm doing in sport, I have to do it to the very best of my abilities or I can't forgive myself.
"That injury was one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I was three weeks away from representing England for the first time against the Combined Universities, when it happened.
"The late Ron Pickering and Tom McNab would come down from London once or twice a week for training — they obviously saw something in me."
Linford Christie dedicated his 1992 gold medal to Pickering, while McNab mentored both Daley Thompson and Greg Rutherford.
"I suppose you could say I was a bit of a prospect," Anderson says of his coaches, whose reputations highlight quite the level at which the 'Limestone Cowboy' was operating.
That he would become a world champion 20 years on from his disappointment is testament to a sporting natural. Yet, if his 1988 BDO World Championship title was Anderson at the peak of his powers — he would win three consecutive World Masters titles during the same period — it is talk of captaining his country that sparks the greatest radiation in his reminiscent enthusiasm.
"Playing for England was the biggest thrill of my life," he recalls. "Being made captain in 1992 was the pinnacle of my career. I led an England team that was a who's who of world darts."
Anderson is not lying. Steve Beaton, Mike Gregory, Dennis Priestley, Phil Taylor, Martin Adams, Rod Harrington, John Lowe — they are just seven of the side's fifteen, with 25 World Championship crowns between them. Eric Bristow, struggling with dartitis at the time, did not make the cut.
"Nobody came up against us," he laughs. "When they did, they went the way of the others."
Sport has an unusual way of providing redemption. There are few industries more brutal, where failure is more starkly laid out, where misfortune can end a career. Yet, it also offers a light at the end of its tunnel.
For Anderson, in a sense, captaining England — the ability to represent his country once more — was it. "Captaining England was my proudest moment," he says. "All the victories I've had were obviously very important and very meaningful to me, but as far as personal pride goes, leading that team out as captain was the absolute pinnacle."
With Taylor's retirement after his World Championship final defeat to Rob Cross last year, only Beaton still plays professionally on the PDC circuit from the team of 1992.
However, of the sixteen players who split from the BDO to set up what is now known as the PDC, Taylor's departure signalled the end of that era. It is a time that leaves Anderson — one of the founding members — with a bittersweet palate, even a quarter of a century later.
The sweet comes from a growth in the sport's popularity that few could scarcely have predicted when Anderson, one of seven previous world champions, announced the split. The acrimony of what was, at the time, seen as a treacherous defection has never fully disappeared. It has for Anderson, at least in part, been replaced by an enormous sense of vindication.
"It's still a subject that holds a considerable amount of bitterness to this day," he confesses of a complex and rancorous period.
"The governing body at the time did its best to put me and my colleagues to the wall. It was a bitter time. I still have a dirty taste in my mouth from some of what happened. I'm glad to say they failed dismally, and I'm equally glad to say that we succeeded massively."
Of course, in amongst the success that Anderson speaks of, it has become easy to forget that beyond the razzmatazz, an unparalleled strength in depth and the extraordinary playing levels of today, there was an era when Bristow, Lowe and Jocky Wilson were king.
"There was a real golden age of darts before what we are seeing now," he balances.
"But I think darts has now moved with the times. I'm a founding member of the PDC and I'm very proud of that, and the standards that are now being achieved today are far outweighing the standards that we achieved. But that is a natural progression.
"The prizes are now so much greater that the donkey is going to run faster. It's the old saying. Before I retired in 2008 when I turned 60, Barry Hearn turned to me and just said: 'The money's going to come just too late for you Bobby.' That's the story of my life! And good to his word, the boys are now earning a tremendous living.
"When I look back at why the PDC was formed, we wanted to create an avenue somewhere for those talented enough to go. And by golly, we've done that.
"I'm very proud to have been a part — albeit a small part — of what is now a fantastically successful venture."
Is he surprised by the success of a product that has seen its annual prize money skyrocket in recent years? "Not at all," he explains. "Once it was sold in the right way, it could only go up. The fact that Barry Hearn has come in and steered the ship so brilliantly, he said he would create this incredible enhancement and he has done so.
"The boys now can hold their heads up high, knowing that they can earn a very good living in a very tough sport. They can do that now — they definitely couldn't do it before."
In 2006, the sport's annual purse sat at £2 million. Twelve years on, the World Championship alone hands out a £2.5 million fund to the 96 participants.
It would be easy for Anderson to resent it — a key cog in setting the wheels in motion for what now continues to thrive.
"This is the age-old question," he ponders. "We'd all like to be 30 years younger. Knowing what I know now, I'd love to be back in my pomp right now, but some things are impossible. You just have to look back at what you achieved with pride and enjoy what you've got."
There is a certain pertinence to Anderson's words as our chat draws to a close — the importance of enjoyment and appreciation. The darting world lost Bristow in April following a sudden heart attack. He was Anderson's best man at his wedding to wife Sally.
He pauses for a moment as he considered the right words to eulogise his late friend.
"Eric Bristow was the first darting celebrity," he says, his voice filled with touching emotion. "He was the one who was mentioned by anyone when you asked them for the name of a player. He still is.
"He was larger than life, was Eric. He's sadly missed. It was a massive blow and one that came as a massive shock. It did really just serve as a reminder that we are all mortal."

The first thing I remind myself when I make an error in a chess game is that I am not playing Bobby Fischer or Deep Blue - the Super Chess Computer.
Remember, you are playing a human being who is quite capable of making the same mistake – or a worse one – that you just made. So unless it is truly hopeless, fight on. Americo does just that!
1. d4 d5
2. c4 dxc4
3. g3 Nf6
4. Bg2 g6
5. Qa4+ Bd7
The usual move for White here is E4 with the bishop regaining his pawn at c4. But the g3 move should have tipped off Americo that White's white squared bishop was heading to Bg2. That is not "book", so Americo needed to adjust his game to White's new plan.
6. Qxc4 Bg7?
Americo follows his book opening a little too tightly and fails to notice this little tactic White has. Opening memorization is important, but cannot replace your responsibility to see what your opponents threats are when they vary their play. 6. ….. c6 was required.
7. Bxb7 Nc6
8. Bxg8?! ……..
White was locked in to winning the rook for a bishop, but Bxc6 wins a knight free and clear.
8.……….. Qxa8
9. Nf3 O-O
Can't blame Americo for thinking safety, but he is still playing his opening blindly. The move ….e5 uses the pin on the knight on f3 by Black's Queen on a8 because White's rook is unprotected on h1. See it now?
10. Bf4 Ne4 ?! Be6 or Rb1 is better for Black.
11. e3 Qb7
12. b3 Bh3?!
Americo misses Bg4! And White is actually losing according to Fritz.
For instance, after 12. ....Bh4!, 13. Nbd2 Nxd2 14. Nxd2 Nxd4 (rook is under attack!) 15. e4 Be2! (White can't castle, Queen can't get to f1 to protect the rook, and the Queen is now also under attack!) 16. Qxc7 Qa6! 17. Rc1 Bf3 18. Qc4 Qxc4 19. Rxc4 Bxh1.
Even with the game move, Fritz considers White to only be up a pawn at this point.
13. Rg1 a5
14. a3? Be6
|Position after Black's 14. ......Be6
But this is why sacrifices work. If you can spring your attack before your opponent can mobilize his stronger forces, you win. Americo didn't intentionally sacrifice, but with his extra piece activity and space, it's like he did.
15. d5? Bxa1
16. dxc Bxc4 It is an intense positon!

New campaigners briefing published by Drone Campaign Network calls for renewed push to challenge the growing use of armed drones
Over the past fifteen years unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, have risen from a fringe technology to becoming a key component of Western military power, with US, British and Israeli forces launching thousands of drone strikes across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Drones have become one of the most used weapons in conventional wars, but are also being used far from any battlefield in so-called targeted killings to 'take out' those deemed to be a threat to security.
While officials describe drone strikes as 'the most precise and effective application of firepower in the history of armed conflict', human rights organisations and journalists have documented that hundreds of innocent civilians have been killed in such strikes. Read more

My Favorite Eminem Songs
Some people consider him to be one of the greatest m.c's to ever pick up the microphone. With multi platinum success and more then a couple dozen hits under his belt it'll be hard to argue the fact. Marshall Mathers, known by his fans as Eminem is known for putting his blood, sweat and tears into all his music before taking center stage for the whole world to critique. Loved by many, hated by more, but second to none. Here is a list of some of my favorite Eminem songs that were either on his album or was featured on someone else's. Attributes that were taken into consideration were popularity, flow, delivery and overall ground breaking lyrics. I hope you enjoy!
Off the Marshall Mathers LP, the song "Stan" is about a crazy obsessed fan that continuously writes Eminem multiple fan letters over a period of time and gets a bit over anxious when Eminem doesn't reply back. As the song continues Stan get even more angry and obsessed until he reaches his breaking point. The story ends with Stan taking his own life never knowing that Eminem did indeed reply back to his letters, they just didn't reach him in time.
The Way I Am
Also off the Marshall Mathers LP, the second single "The Way I Am" gives us a glimpse of the darker side of being famous in the spotlight. When I first heard this song I thought it was put together remarkably well from start to finish. Eminem displayed tremendous ability while delivering a breathtaking flow laced with energetic lyrics and passion. He rapidly fires line after line about being tired of all the attention he's getting and wishes it would all just stop and go away.
Featured on Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" album, this song had the music industry buzzing with anticipation. Both m.c's displayed such passion and talent on these four verses it was utterly insane. Till this day you'll find people debating over who had the better verse or who outshined the other in this lyrical spar for the ages. In the end it doesn't matter though, as long as we're left with another hip-hop classic to listen to.
Cleanin' Out My Closet
Here's another hit single that reached the Top 100 on the Billboard charts for Slim Shady a.k.a Eminem. Off his fourth album "The Eminem Show", this song shows a more serious Marshall Mathers putting his whole life out there once again for the world to see. On this song he touches on so many different topics showcasing to the world that he is infact a talented, gifted, emotional rollercoaster of a artist. Mainly focused on his relationship with his own mother, Eminem takes shots at her for the repeated substance abuse and failing to be a responsible parent. But if you ask me, I doubt we'll ever hear another m.c clean out his closet and air out his dirty laundry quite like Eminem.
Forgot About Dre
Featured on "The Chronic 2001", this song had Eminem and his mentor Dr. Dre exchanging verses on a crazy beat that gained instant success. The chorus of the song had Eminem firing his lines at breathtaking speed without a hiccup. At the Grammy's in 2001 it was given a award for the Best Rap Performance by a Duo. Yet another reminder that Eminem is no fluke and deserve to be in the position he's in. This won't be the last we hear from the dynamic duo so stay tuned rap univer
Lose Yourself
This song off the movie soundtrack "8 Mile" was a huge success at the 2004 Grammy Award Show. The song is based off the main character of the movie who goes by the name B-Rabbit, an aspiring rapper from Detroit trying to follow his music dreams while juggling the drama of everyday life. The song is like the blueprint for the entire movie summed up in one hit record. Following B-Rabbit as he struggles through his difficult beginnings of not being able to perform and live up to his expectations, to when he finally breaks free and takes a huge step forward into reaching his full potential as an artist.
Nail In The Coffin
I first heard this song in 2002 on a D.J Green Lantern mixtape. All though this song was not featured on any mainstream albums it did still created a huge buzz and had both the streets and the industry tuned in. "Nail In The Coffin" is a diss reply back to Benzino the former co-owner of The Source magazine. Rumor has it that this rap beef started when Benzino gave Eminem a horrible album rating in his magazine that many felt like he didn't deserve. Eminem then responded back with witty sarcastic comments in some of his songs in hopes of getting Benzino's attention. Eventually Benzino did decided to fire back with a diss record of his own but little did he know Eminem was sitting on a arsonal of material waiting to be released like "The Sauce" and the gravedigging "Nail In The Coffin."
Rap God
Released in 2013, the song "Rap God" is featured on Eminem's 8th and latest album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2". Just when some critics started doubting his talent and ability for lyricism the hiphop legend strikes again with another head turning record. Mainly focused on his precision flow and delivery, this song is like a breath of fresh air for the hiphop culture. Some consider it to be a fair warning for all mainstream and up and coming rappers to pick up their pens and head back to the drawing board.
Also off "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" album, "Headlights" is a reconciliation song between Eminem and his mother Debbie. He goes on to apologize for taking out his frustration on songs like "Cleanin' Out My Closet" and for not allowing her to visit her grandchildren and be apart of their lives. This songs shows a more older mature Marshall taking responsibility for his previous actions. With that part of his life in the past I know we all look forward to see what path he goes on next.
Patiently Waiting
Release in 2003, this song is featured on 50 Cent's hit album "Get Rich Or Die Tryin". Newly signed to Shady Aftermath, Mr. Curtis Jackson is ready to take the hiphop industry by storm with the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre. This song opened up a world of opportunity for 50 Cent and Eminem both. It gave Marshall the street notoriety he needed and in return gave 50 the credibility he needed for mainstream exposure. Another hiphop classic where Eminem proves to the world he could match wits with just about anyone on a microphone.
So if you are anything like me and your a fan of the hiphop culture, you have to admire the hard work and effort that Eminem puts in with every project release. From the first album to his last album you could expect to hear something new that'll capture your undivided attention. And to the million Eminem fan in the world today, make your own list and see how it compares to mine. Remember this is MY personal favorite list so yours might be totally different and that's perfectly okay.

It wasn't special effects. Hugh Jackman's studly form in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was all him, with a little help from North Vancouver's Brendan Brazier.
Jackman, impressed by Brazier's training with Sweat Equity Fitness of Los Angeles and nutritional knowledge, invited the former professional triathlete and ultra marathon runner to his home in New York.
"I helped him build up for [the next] X-Men movie," the quiet-spoken Brazier said on a phone interview from Los Angeles where he is promoting his latest book, Whole Foods To Thrive. (He has also written Thrive Fitness and The Thrive Diet.)
"He emailed me a year ago and I happened to be going to New York so I was invited to his place and we chatted. He's one of the nicest guys. He wants to set a good example for his kids and young fans. He genuinely cares and he's not just thinking of himself. He's eating mostly plant-based foods for the next X-Men."

Interlude: Aelgifu1
August 31, 2015 by Lyn
"Thank you." Ayla gratefully took the plastic cup from Alexander and held it with both hands, as if it could warm her up. She wasn't cold, not physically – it was always comfortable down here, so far underground that weather didn't seem to matter – but she was nervous and a little jittery.
Ioanna had been apologetic about accidentally outing her the other day – and in front of that man who might be her father – but it did little to stop the feeling of a giant target painted on her back. In her dreams, she was proud and unafraid, but those were dreams. The reality was still frightening.
She took a long swig of the drink – it was sweet and citric, almost covering the burn of the alcohol, and looked around, trying to not seem self-conscious of Ioanna's arm around her waist. By this point, she knew almost everyone's face (both of them, the human and the monster), but very few of them by name. Ioanna, on the other hand, seemed to know everyone – and thus, everyone was noticing them, Ayla and (wonderful) (purple-eyed) (not-quite-human) girlfriend.
"Anwell, Mags!" Ioanna waved, steering Ayla towards a leopard-spotted girl and her human-looking boyfriend. "Hey, have you guys met Aelgifu? Gi, this is Anwell and Magnolia."
"Hi," she murmured, trying not to sound aloof, but something across the room had caught her eye, a long narrow flash of black.
"I-" she began; Ioanna stopped her with a kiss to the cheek.
"Of course," she said warmly. "I'll be here."
Vi would probably scold her if he knew she was doing this, but Vi was on the other side of the common area, talking with the twin elves, and, brother or no, he wasn't her boss. The risk of getting her feelings hurt again was worth the chance of talking to Sheen. She missed her horribly.
"…but he's a guy!" Emrys had turned away from Shahin and was talking animatedly with Melchior. The little goblin looked undisturbed by Emrys' apparent distress and was grinning cheerfully, an expression made grotesque by the memory of the mouthful of teeth he hid under his Mask.
Shahin caught sight of Ayla and smiled warmly. With exaggerated subtlety, she slipped away from Emrys, who continued his discussion with Melchior, not seeming to notice that his girlfriend had wandered off.
"Hey," Ayla said hesitantly.
"Hey," Shahin answered. She sounded warm and friendly, but Ayla was still uncertain. She drank a little more of the orange-flavored something Alexander had given her, and thus almost missed the wince pass across Shahin's face.
"So, um…" She searched for a topic of conversation that wouldn't feel awkward, that would bridge this gap between them that seemed to grow up. She wanted to just yell at her, why are you doing this stupid Ownership thing with Emrys? Why would you date someone who would take you away from your friends? but a little voice inside her kept pointing out that she had not a whole lot of prior claim; it's not like Vi and she had known Shahin for years or anything.
"So, Aelfgar?" Shahin broke the silence, a little more bluntly than Ayla was expecting. She grimaced.
"Yeah," she agreed, "that was… um, something. I keep waiting for someone to jump out of the woodwork and shout 'ha! Gotcha!'"
"So you don't really believe him?"
"Well, he didn't really actually say it, did he?" Ayla frowned. "He sort of hinted around the subject, but he didn't say anything outright. Well, except that all of his kids are…" she blushed, and let the sentence trail off.
Shahin nodded. "You haven't talked to him about it?"
"No." It sounded silly when she thought about it. "We've heard him in the halls a couple times – he's kind of hard to miss – but we always go the other way."
Shahin nodded, though she looked a little sad. "Do you want to know?"
"I…" Shahin didn't have a father, either, Ayla remembered. None of them did – but now, it seemed, she and Vi at least had a possibility. "I don't know. I guess I do." She bit her lip. "I don't want to ask him, though. Not after what he…" she sighed softly. "Now everyone knows."
Shahin hugged her spontaneously. "It's all right, Ay," she murmured. "Tell you what." She rested her hands on Ayla's shoulders, and looked her in the eye, dead serious and still smiling. "Sunday, we'll hang out. Maybe go shopping, and if you want, we'll go talk to Aelfgar and beat him up until he tells us the truth."
She couldn't help but giggle a little. "Sunday. Is that after…?"
"Yeah." She smiled wickedly.
"Sheen?" Emrys walked over and draped an arm lazily over Shahin, whose smile shifted in a heartbeat to something tame and domestic.
"Sunday," she told Ayla, a flash of her old spark showing.

I truly have no memory of what happens when Sheen and Emrys switch, so I'm just as excited for Sunday as they are. Poor Ayla though. What a way to get outed.

text: Shark 13,883 posts Posted July 31, 2009 Whenever I'm out searching for comics, I find that the methods that stir the most anticipation inside of me are whenever I go to garage sales, estate sales, flea markets or antique malls. You just never know what you're going to come across at one of these or at what price. I find comics other ways (eBay, the boards, online auctions, etc.) but my anticipation always seems to be higher with the old manual foot search methods. So post all of your great garage sale/estate sale/flea market/antique mall finds here. Doesn't have to be a comic either. It could be magazines, toys, posters or anything else you deem appropriate but try to keep it comic related if possible. One of the best finds I ever had was in Wisconsin on my way to a programming class in Minnesota a few years ago. About half-way there I stopped at an antique mall which was 3 levels high. Looked and looked and found nothing on the first 2 levels. Got to the 3rd level, made a left turn and looked down on the floor to my left. I just about had a heart attack. There sitting on the floor was an Exciting Comics #49 and an Adventure Comics #62. And what was the price on them? How about a nice low 10 bucks each? Needless to say, I snatched them up as faster than the Flash. I ended up selling both of them but made a nice healthy profit on each. I'll start it out with some comics and a lunch box. Picked up the first comic at a garage sale and the rest from a local antique mall. The lunch box came from another garage sale and I paid a whopping 50 cents for it.

Instagram's iPhone app adds support for uploading multiple photos & videos in one post
Facebook's Instagram on Wednesday announced support for uploading up to 10 photos and videos in a single post, potentially radically changing how people use the social network.
Up to 10 items can added at once by tapping a new icon in the iPhone app's upload menu, Instagram explained. People can press and hold on items to change their order or delete them, which is particularly important since in news feeds, users will initially only see the first one and have to swipe through the rest carousel-style.
Editing can be done on a piece-by-piece basis or in bulk, as needed. Friends can be tagged per-photo as well, but captions, comments, likes, and location tags will apply only to an entire post.
Since its inception, Instagram has been based on the concept of uploading a single photo or video at a time. The reason for the change is uncertain, but Instagram is presumably interested in creating more engagement by expanding the app's usefulness — in examples to the press, the company suggested shooting complete events or posting step-by-step recipes.
Media-rich posts will also likely useful for advertisers, as well as other groups and individuals looking to build a following.
Partly in a bid to fend off competition from Snapchat, Instagram has been making a number of enhancements in recent months, such as Live Photos support, live video streaming in Stories, and better comment and profile controls. Some of these changes have been mirrored in the Facebook app.
Bulk uploads will be rolling out globally "over the coming weeks," Instagram said.

As summer is officially in full swing, with long sunny days and children out of school, could there be a more perfect time to get ready to build a brand-new home? Here at Faber Builders, we offer semi-custom home plans with a variety of options to suit all our clients' needs.
For those looking for the convenience of single-level living, finding a home plan that is both an economical use of space AND has plenty of room for hosting friends and family can sometimes be a challenge.

The Bellwood features three bedrooms and two bathrooms – perfect for having family stay over from out of town. With the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms located on the other side, privacy and space don't need to be a concern when guests are staying over for several days.
A spacious kitchen layout – compete with a large island that still allows for plenty of room to move about the space – flows right into an open great room. The master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet and a bathroom with Jack-and-Jill sinks and a toilet separate from the rest of the bathroom.
The Bellwoode, complete with a two-car garage, a dedicated laundry room, a cozy front porch, and an optional rear covered porch, has everything to accommodate clients who appreciate single-floor living without sacrificing room or comfort.

La vie en rosé
For too long, rosé wines languished at the Liebfraumilch and Babycham end of the wine league tables: the Barbie-toned bottle left undrunk at BYOB parties; the choice for the likes of Joey from Friends' dates (blush Zinfandel, to be precise), or drunk with an ironic smirk by kitsch-lovers. But in recent years, pink wines have shed their inferiority complex (along with their sugars), and emerged sleeker and drier to enjoy a surge of popularity as drinkers discover their light and easy appeal, and palatable prices, finds Cordelia Madden-Kanellopoulou.
The burgeoning harvest of Greek rosé wines can make an ideal accompaniment to sunny spring days and light meze meals, pairing perfectly with salads and ladera dishes, cheese or pasta. They can even hold their own at a barbecue, as they balance grilled meats without provoking them. Pick up some of the following at your local cava, and enjoy with a long, lazy Sunday lunch. Life starting to look rosier already?
- Vyssinokipos, Ktima Palivou: Nemean Agiorgitiko grapes are known for their vivid, velvety reds, but they also make a very refreshing rosé. With notes of cherry, raspberry and caramel, underlined with intense tannins, this wine from Ktima Palivou blends the local variety with Syrah with exceedingly drinkable results.
- Ambelones Thymiopoulou Rosé: Following his success with full-bodied reds, Apostolos Thymiopoulos decided to try his hand at rosé, using the same Xinomavro variety. The result keeps the tomato tones of this northern Greek grape, but its ageing in oak barrels tames those tannins.
- Vivlia Hora Rosé: Just about everything Vangelis Gerovasileiou and his winemaking partner at Vivlia Hora, Vasilis Tsaktsarlis, make drinks like nectar of the gods, and their rosé is no exception. It's a one variety wine (Syrah) that exudes aromas of blueberries, cherries and raspberries, with lasting spicy notes. In a word: delicious.
- Claudia Papaioannou Rosé: A fine, cultured wine using Grenache Rouge and Syrah grapes, with a pomegranate blush and sweet aromas of red fruits, Claudia Papaioannou Rosé, sounds delicate but is rounded and rich enough in the mouth to be matched with almost any foods – or just enjoyed by itself on a balmy spring evening.
- Amyntaion Rosé Sec: We served this on our wedding day, popping the corks on a sunny summer's day outside St Mary the Virgin in Oxford. Made by the Amyntaion Cooperative, it's a robust sparkling wine, with wonderful strawberry notes, exuberant bubbles and balanced acidity, and what's more, priced at around 11 euros, it offers great value for money. Whether a wedding day or just any regular Friday, this pink bubbly puts you in the mood for celebration.

Set on the broad Buffalo River, along one of the most attractive stretches of the Eastern Cape's coatal region - its drawcards are that it remains unpolluted and definitely free of the hoarding crowds. Swimming, sailing, water-skiing, boardsailing and boating can be enjoyed all year round, while the river mouths, lagoons and gullies provide a paradise for fishermen. East London resident Andre Oosthuizen created the video in July 2017, and since then the video has gone on to be shared across thousands of social media accounts. In the video, drone footage from various angles showcases the coastal town's various attractions for tourists and locals alike to enjoy.Watch video below:Planning a trip to East London soon? - Here are top 5 stops to check out East London MuseumEast London Museum, established in 1921, is one of the fascinating natural history museums in the country. The star attraction here is the coelacanth, a fish with limb-like fins that was believed to have become extinct more than 80 million years ago until it was caught in the Chalumna River, near East London, in 1938. The museum also displays numerous specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as exhibits on the maritime history of the region, and even a dodo's egg.

Pakistan has one of the most ineffective and corrupt bureaucracies in the world. It doesn't produce anything, other than lots of paper work, seldom carries out effective regulatory functions and is reactive (a characteristic of our overall political system). Be it law enforcement, tax collection, the provision of social services or utilities, today our bureaucracy is the biggest impediment in the way of our national development.
The public sector is plagued with corruption, absenteeism and red tapeism. Most of the procedures and rules of business are archaic, records are still manual and great emphasis is placed on procedures and methods rather than on delivery with limited and no accountability. These structural problems have rendered the state paralytic; unable to respond to present and future challenges.
Pakistan is a country where absolutely anything can be accomplished, or absolutely nothing can be done, depending upon the association and status of the concerned person. The entire state machinery is ensnared by red tape, only to be lubricated by bribery, which has become so endemic and legitimized, that public servants consider it an entitlement. Corruption will open every opportune door.
In contrast, let us witness how the private sector is shaping our lives. Before the privatization of PTCL, it required enormous effort to get a phone connection, which is now only a telephone call away. Similarly, the privatization of the financial sector has revolutionized banking in Pakistan, spreading ATM machines nationwide, making money transfers and other financial services easier and cheaper. The private sector's involvement in broadcasting has increased information flow to the public. News which might take hours to reach the audience, now takes a few minutes before screens are flashing with news alerts. While the officials of agricultural departments procrastinate at their offices, the field officers of Agro firms are reaching farmers far and wide, offering advice and solutions.
What makes the private sector excel is its primary focus on performance. Private firms, competing in a market, are structured to achieve organizational goals with the least use of resources. This is attained by offering performance based incentives. Those who perform get promotions and increments, while the rest stay where they are or are gradually replaced.
On the other hand, our public sector is not structured to deliver or redress. Whether a bureaucrat achieves departmental targets or not, what is expected of him is to just follow the rules, without shaking the system. Rules and regulations are important but what's the use of all the red tape, if it renders the whole game ineffective?
For bureaucrats, there is little effective accountability or differentiation on the basis of performance. Everyone gets a similar performance evaluation, and in nearly every budget, all public sector officials get a raise, and after specific periods of service, a whole batch gets promoted. Officials who manage to get out of turn promotions or obtain good postings, are those who dance to the tune of the rulers.
As long as the public sector is not reformed thoroughly, we will find it difficult to achieve sustainable growth. Every department should be assigned policy goals and departmental staff should be evaluated against those targets. Incentives should be offered on the basis of performance. For instance, since FBR came into existence, nearly every year it fails on its tax collection targets, but its officials still get promoted, their incentive packages and privileges still remain the same. Similarly, police officials are seldom held responsible for the increasing crime rate.
No nation can succeed without sound policies determining the course of national growth. And no policy can work unless it is translated into action by a competent and honest bureaucracy. Canadian educationist Laurence J. Peter said, "The bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status." Unfortunately, our public sector is still defending the status quo left by the British Raj, embodied not only in our public edifices, but in our laws and in our mindsets. Unless we change that, absolutely nothing can truly change.

My research interest is focused on muscular dystrophies and the diseases of the neuromuscular junction (myasthenia).
Among muscular dystrophies, I work specifically on myofibrillar and related congenital myopathies. The myofibrillar myopathies (MFMs) have a characteristic morphological signature: At the light microscopic and immunocytochemical level they are associated with progressive myofibrillar destruction and the deposition of composite protein aggregates that immunoreact for desmin, alphaB-crystallin, myotilin, dystrophin, CDC2 kinase, prion proteins, and other proteins as well.
At the ultrastructural level, the myofibrillar degeneration begins at the Z-disk. The elemental change is like that observed in minimulticore disease. The ultrastructural findings provide a clue that the MFMs are caused by mutations in Z-disk related proteins.
The investigation tests the hypothesis that mutations in Z-disk related proteins cause MFM and that appropriate expression studies can provide insights into the pathogenesis of the disease, and pave the way to treatment. Sofar mutations in desmin, alphaB-crystallin and in other key Z-disk-associated structural proteins, including myotilin, ZASP and Filamin C, have been detected in the MFM patients.
I recently pinpointed a severe childhood form of muscular dystrophy to Bag3.

India's Partition – Unknown Aspects
Caught between a neo-colonial narrative jointly crafted by the British and Congress Governments in India, events have a way of being losing context and substance. Jinnah as the man behind partition, is a story that is only partly true.
Three interesting incidents in that crucial period make for a counter-balance to the Jinnah-as-the-villain story that is made out.
The Gallup Poll
Over a period of at least 50 years, successive British bureaucrats and propagandists sold India the story that Hindus and Muslims cannot live together.
On April 23, 1947, the 'Amrita Bazar Patrika' featured results of a poll where it had asked if Bengali Hindus wanted a "separate homeland". An overwhelming 98.3% Bengalis voted in favour, and 0.6% voted against the division of the province. On being asked about this poll, both Dutta Gupta and Singha express concern and suspicion about this poll and many other public discourses that came to conclusions that completed neglected the voice of Hindus living in East Bengal. (via 'We can only carry India in our hearts' – Times Of India).
These surveys, were engineered by the Gallup Organization, a leading opinion-polling agency, which controlled India from UK. There was a large body of opinion and support for Muslim autonomy in Muslim majority areas – and 'Hindu' support for a Muslim Homeland was in this context. Also, must be the remembered that in polls like this, the question is more important than the answer.
And the reason for the result of this poll, was the questionnaire.
Lala Lajpat Rai asked for Pakistan
Another significant votary for Muslim autonomy in Muslim-majority areas was Lala Lajpat Rai – whose ideas are being projected as support for Pakistanand Partition of India.
The 'innocent' Indian Muslim
Just like 'Hindu' support for Pakistan is being twisted out of context, it is equally true of 'Muslim' support for Pakistan.
For another, we forget that Indian Muslims from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan did not vote for Pakistan or Jinnah.
It was a small minority, of less than 5 lakhs who voted for the Muslim League, carefully selected by the British, which was designated as representative of Muslim interests, that voted for Pakistan. From the nearly 10 crore Muslims. A fact we would do well to remember.
Indian Muslims did not chose the Muslim League. British policy in India made it seem that Indian Muslims had chosen the Muslim League. Of the nearly 10 crore Muslims, less than 5 lakhs voted for the Muslim League. Jinnah's claim and bravado sprang from the backing of half a per cent of India's Muslim Population.
Popular leaders like Sheikh Abdullah of Kashmir or the Deoband Seminary rejected emphatically Jinnah and his Pakistan theory. The ordinary Muslim had no truck with Jinnah or Pakistan. Meanwhile, Sachar Committee report notwithstanding, the 'ordinary' Muslim before Independence was behind the general population – and remains so.

Hindu Muslim Bhai-Bhai – End of an Era
Urbane, educated, certain local and foreign elements served the British, Pakistani leaders, Indian princes, appealed to Hindus, Muslims using religion – and gained everywhere. But in each case, India lost.
My grateful acknowledgments are due to His Highness the Nizam and His Highness the ruler of Mysore for their princely donations. The Nizam is a Mahomedan prince. Any contribution coming from him in aid of a work like the Mahabharata could not but indicate His Highness's enlightened sympathy for literature in general, irrespective of the nation or the creed which that literature represents. As an administrator, Sir Asman Jah promises to rival the fame of Sir Salar Jung. So long also as an officer like Nawab Sayyed Ali Bilgrami is about the person of His Highness … (from the foreword of The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa (Anusasana Parva) Translated into English prose Published and distributed by Pratapa Chandra Ray Published 1893 by Bharata Press in Calcutta . Written in English).
What's religion got to do with this?
Soon after the 1857 Anglo-Indian War of 1857, we had the remarkable instance of the Baroda Gaikwad commissioning a 'Basra' pearl carpet for the prophet's tomb at Medina, which was recently auctioned for US$5.5 million.
And here we have the case of a Muslim king, the Nizam of Hyderabad, who partly funded the translation and publication of the Mahabharata in English.
Coming storm
But, this was soon to change.
In 1905, Bengal was partitioned along religious lines, by Lord Curzon. West Bengal, Orissa, and Bihar on one side and the erstwhile East Bengal and Assam were divided into the other part. All India Muslim League and All India Hindu Mahasabha followed. The official logic was that Bengal was too large a province to be administered by a single governor.
This explanation did not account for communal boundaries – and did not explain Curzon's tour of East Bengal in February 1904, where he promised a separate zone for Muslim Bengalis.
Protests against this partition in the form of Arandhan (no food was cooked across Bengal), boycott of British goods, and Tagore suggested that Raksha Bandhan would be observed in a spirit of brotherhood between Muslims and Hindus. Lord Minto's 'reforms' in 1909, was the next major step in division of India along religious lines.
Simultaneously, soon after the publication of Tarana-e-Hind (Song of India) in 1905, of the sare-jahaan-se-achcha hai-hindustan-hamaraa fame, Iqbal was sponsored by British authorities for 'modern' studies in Europe in 1906. In England Allama Iqbal joined with Major Syed Hassan Bilgrami, ex-Indian Medical Service, to form and promote the Muslim League in England, in 1908.
The mechanics of divide et impera
Major Syed Ali Bilgrami wrote the text for Simla deputation, headed by the Sir Sultan Muhammad (the Aga Khan), who with seventy 'representatives' of the Muslim community, asked the Viceroy for elections along communal lines.
The immediate cause for the Simla deputation was the matter of language. Soon after 1857, at Benares in 1867, with the expanding role of the State, a case for using Devnagari script was made. This issue simmered and in 1900, the Urdu-Nagri Resolution was notified by Sir Anthony Macdonald, Lieutenant-Governor, United Provinces, in April 1900 giving parity to Hindi as a official-language along with Urdu in UP. Muslim paranoia was watered and nurtured by the British.
By creating claims and supporting counter-claims, responding to alternate parties, the British administration created frenzy around a simple administrative issue. Pakistani historians to this day see this as "the machination of Dr. Feelan, District Inspector of Schools and Anthony Mac Donald, then Collector of Muzaffarpur, the two bitterest antagonists of Urdu".
The rest of the story, most of us know.
Behind the man
Major Syed Hassan Bilgrami, an academic from Lucknow, was also from the same family as Sayyed Ali Bilgrami. Sayyed Ali Bilgrami was selected for employment by Salar Jung, one of the nobles in Nizam's kingdom.
Designated as Imud ul-Mulk Bahadur, he presided over the setting up of Dairatul-Maarifil-Osmania, Hyderabad (or the Osmania Oriental Publications Bureau) in 1888. For some time, he was the tutor to the future Nizam of Hyderabad,
Connections everywhere
Sayyed Ali Bilgrami donated his own collection of books, manuscripts and texts to form a core for the Asafia State Library (1891). Of the initial nearly 24,000 volumes, nearly 16,000 were Persian, Arabic or Urdu. Some 7600 were in English and other European languages. There was, of course, no place for any books in Hindi, Telugu, Sanskrit, Marathi, Kannada – which was the languages used by more than 95% of the Nizam Kingdom's population.
Sayyed Ali Bilgrami studied at Kolkatta where he also learned Sanskrit – and later translated the Atharva Veda. That possibly explains Sayyed Ali Bilgrami links to Kisari Mohan Ganguli and the publication of Mahabharata by Pratapa Chandra Ray – and funding through the Nizam Government.
Soon after 1905, Sayyed Ali Bilgrami became an activist in affairs of Urdu and Muslim affairs. Another member of the family, active academically, was Syed Asghar Ali Bilgrami who published Ma 'athir-i-Dakan (Hyderabad, 1925) in Urdu and another study in English, called Landmarks of the Deccan (Hyderabad, 1927).
Collaboration Chronicles
Urbane, educated, the Bilgramis served the British, Pakistan, Indian princes, appealed to Hindus, Muslims – and gained everywhere. Post-independence, some of the Bilgramis moved to Pakistan. A few members of the family chose to remain in Hyderabad, and other parts of India. Today, they can be found in the UK, Germany, UAE – and many emigrated to the US.
This translation of the Mahabharata, by Kisari Mohan Ganguli and publication by Pratapa Chandra Ray, for which one of the Bilgramis arranged funding, remains the most popular and accessible work of the last 100 years.
Below are book extracts from a rather revealing and well-researched work on British colonialism in India.
Indian Industry In 19th Century
Understanding Business: A … – Google Book Search
The Vijaynagar kingdom (after the sacking in 1565, and the rump rulers)was the center of trade for India's main exports – spices (from the South India and SE Asian archipelago), Wootz steel from the Deccan plateau, Shipbuilding (the British Navy was one of its major customers) was a major industry. Precision cutting tools was another area of expertise – remember that diamonds were an Indian monopoly till the mid-18th century.a multitude of silk centers from the Deccan and Southern coastal towns were the major exports.
India's biggest import was gold.
3 significant sectors which contributed to this boom. Apart from significant agrarian output – spices, timber, Indigo, etc. Indian industrial output was a major item in our goods basket – fabric, gems and jewellery and metals. India was a technology leader in these
industrial sectors.
But at the end of the 19th century, Colonial India was de-urbanising. Populations in Indian agrarian network was increasing. Agricultural taxes were high. Hence, food production declined. Famines had become a regular feature. Industrial production was a distant memory. The cause – The rise of the West by use of slavery and the loot of gold. In America and Africa. Red Indians were wiped out. Australian aborigines have become tourist attractions. Blacks were enslaved. Rivers of Blood and fields of dead.

Photograph your work
Directly with your mobile phone or tablet.
Unlike painting, where the work is unique, the photograph can be the subject of several 'original' copies. For French law and taxation, the circulation is limited to 30 copies, all formats included, artist's prints included.
The artist must determine and announce the maximum number of prints put on sale, before the production starts, in order to be totally transparent towards the buyer who must be clearly informed of what he buys and the maximum number of copies in circulation.
The prints must be signed and numbered
It takes a certificate of authenticity UNIQUE by draw
to guarantee the status of original work.
The buyer is thus satisfied to possess the original of a photograph, but also reassured to know that his purchase has value, that it can be resold (accompanied by the certificate which constitutes the piece of identity of the work ) and beyond the pleasure of enjoying it, it is also an artistic investment.
The ARTcertificate Certificate of Authenticity has been created for artists and photographers who want to ensure the uniqueness of their limited edition works and reproductions. Each certificate is UNIQUE and can be printed on a secure tamper-proof sheet (9 checkpoints) on which a numbered VOID hologram can be pasted.
In addition one can print a set of three labels each including its QR code, its random polygon and an inviolable hologram. The first is for the photographic print, it is undecollable and does not damage the support. Another is affixed to the authentication certificate given to the buyer. The third remains archived at the depositor's or his assigns.
Your benefits:
- Simultaneous management of several artists
- Management of numbered series
- Quick and easy certificate edition
- Simple and fast billing
- Storage, security and traceability of works
- Creation of an artistic database
- Different COA template in A4 format
- Integration of the company LOGO
- SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS of certifying your artworks
- VALUE and STRENGTHEN the confidence of your buyers
- Management of MULTIPLE ARTISTS and NUMERATED SERIES
- Management of SALES INVOICES and PROOF OF AUTHENTICITY
- ONLINE ARCHIVING of certificates
- a SECURE certificate of authenticity
- a certificate number registered on ARTcertificate
- a QR code for TRACEABILITY
- a RANDOM POLYGON per document
- a set of three SECURITY seals to stick on the documents
How to make your certificates, seals and invoices totally tamper-proof? The solution is to make any document inviolable and tamper-proof in particular by the fact that it is uncopiable or if it is copied, that the copy is of very poor quality. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to use special media and to accumulate security points posing serious problems for counterfeiters.
Secure A4 X9 Paper
Secure A4 paper has 9 levels of security, making it completely forgery-proof and non-reproducible. Most checkpoints are checked without specific hardware. The documents printed on this security paper are guaranteed to be the originals. Their contents and the sender are thus authenticated thanks to this UV paper.
VOID Anti-Tamper Hologram
Your certificates, invoices and seals will thus be totally tamper-proof and tamper-proof.
- High degree of security
- Immediate authentication with the naked eye
- 2D / 3D technology, Dot Matrix
- Many security points
- tamper-proof and inviolable

Easily located inside the National Geographic shop, the cafe is the first section you'll see when you walk inside. A sharp contrast of moods. Outside always busy with the hustle and bustle of shoppers (especially during weekends!), inside it is almost serene but not in a zen like mode, more like the quiet before a major discovery...
Just walk into the cafe, and find a seat on your own. No fuss. Furnishing is almost exotic. I liked it as I felt the furnitures gave the cafe, character.

Being tea time, we didn't order a lot. Just a drink and a cake to share.

What is Bitcoin Plus?
You must have probably about the world's first digital decentralized crypto currency "BITCOIN", but this article is about Bitcoin PLUS.
Yes, Bitcoin PLUS is a different cryptocurrency than Bitcoin. It is not any modification to Bitcoin, neither it is any extended part of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Plus is a totally different cryptocurrency from Bitcoin.
Decoding Bitcoin PLUS
Bitcoin Plus was launched through an ICO on the Poloniex Exchange in early 2014. However, the creators did not carried it any further, collected the funds raised through ICO and just disappeared Later, Bitcoin PLUS was adopted by some community members along with the original investor at first place who dedicatedly worked on Bitcoin PLUS, hired coders and engineers to fix the coding of the Bitcoin Plus wallet and then re-introduced it in the market.
According to the original investor, Bitcoin PLUS is re-incarnated Bitcoin but with many improvements. Thus, it is called Bitcoin PLUS.
What's the Catch?
- Bitcoin PLUS was built purely on Proof-of-Stake concept (here miners are not rewarded with any new coins, rather they take only the transaction fees). But later on with more updates, the Bitcoin PLUS network was modified with an ability to secure the network using Proof-of-Work concept (here miners are rewarded with new coins after solving mathematical puzzles). Thus Bitcoin PLUS is a hybrid mixture of POS/POW, which means if the Bitcoin PLUS network ever faces any issue, things can be resolved by switching the network to Proof-of-Work concept for a short while.
- Bitcoin PLUS has only one million coins in it's network. Bitcoin PLUS network involves 20 percent annual staking until all one million coins have been staked. According to original investor, this is the most hyped feature of Bitcoin PLUS.
- Bitcoin PLUS was $.08 in January 2016. And in March 2017, it rosed and made a high of $131 . Presently it is trading around $49.37 (as on 21 April 2017).
- Bitcoin PLUS has an average block processing time of 60 seconds
Difference between Bitcoin and Bitcoin PLUS
- There are 21 million Bitcoins in total in Bitcoin network but only one million Bitcoin PLUS.
- Bitcoin is built on Proof-of-Work concept where as initially Bitcoin PLUS was built on Proof-of-Stake concept and with some later modifications it is now a hybrid mixture of POW/POS.
- Average Block Processing time in Bitcoin is about 10 minutes, where as in Bitcoin PLUS, the average block processing time is One Minute, which makes Bitcoin PLUS 10 times more faster than Bitcoin.

Bloomberg Expands Effort to Curb Tobacco Use World-Wide
Commits $360 million to help raise tobacco taxes and implement other tobacco control policies in the developing world
Former New York City mayor and billionaire philanthropist Michael Bloomberg has spent hundreds of millions of dollars of his fortune over the past decade fighting tobacco use in the developing world. Now, with cigarette use declining globally, he is deepening his campaign.
Mr. Bloomberg is committing $360 million to be used between 2017 and 2022 to help raise tobacco taxes, implement smoke-free laws and pursue other strategies to curb tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries, according to Bloomberg Philanthropies, the...
