Amber Fort Jaipur
History of the Amber FortHistory says that the Amber fort Jaipur was built by Raja Man Singh after his recognition in Akbar's Navaratna group as one if the Navaratnas and the foundation work of the fort started from around 1592s. Although the founder of the fort was Raja Man Singh but later on the construction of the fort was completed by Raja Joy Singh. Before its conversion in a full-fledged royal fort it was a big building used by Kachhwaha dynasty members from 11th to the 16th century. Man Singh was known as one of the famous Kacchwaha (Rajput) King of Amber, and this fort was a royal emblem of his power and control over Rajasthan. The state of Amber was later renamed as Jaipur but till date the fort has retained the name of Amber. Made of red and white sandstone, there are main four separate parts in the palace interlinked with each other.
As said the entire Amber fort Jaipur is divided into four parts and each of them had a separate entrance However, the prime entry path was through the Sun gate which was locally known as Suraj Pole. It had its opening at the main courtyard. The gate was positioned on the east and that is why it was named on the name of Sun God. The second courtyard was named as Jaleb chawk. Another main part of the fort is 'Diwan-i-Aam' (Public Audience Hall), and Diwaan-e-Khaas and the 4th part is comprised of 'Sheesh Mahal' and the 'Sukh Mahal'. The magic flower fresco is one of the most coveted wall attractions of the Amber Fort.
Diwaan-e-Aam and Diwaan-e-KhaasInspired by Islamic idea of décor and ornamentation, the buildings of Diwaan-e-Aam and Diwaan-e-Khaas were made for king's administrative activities. Diwaan-e-Aam was built for discussing public issues in front of the public and Diwaan-e-Khaas was the special place where King used to meet his special friends, solicitors, advisors, etc. for sorting his confusion and having discussions over different issues. Diwaan-e-Aam is a spectacular hall having two rows of pillars with three entrances. The arch, walls, and pillars of Diwaan-e-Aam hall are mesmerizing for its stunning crafts and mesmerizing effect. Here the king used to hear the grievances of "aam-janta" so it was named by its job. Alternatively, Diwaan-e-Khaas was the place where the king used to consult with his special "khas" advisors, so it was named.
Sukh Niwaas (Sukh Mandir)Sukh Niwas is located opposite to Diwaan-e-Khaas building in Amber Fort premise. Awesome looking, the doors of this building is made of ivory artwork in sandalwood craft. The most surprising arrangement of the building is its air conditioning system, which was implemented by maintaining a water channel throughout the building. This channel was the gateway for entering cool breeze and cold water for controlling the inside air temperature of the building in blazing summer time. Mythology says that the king used to spend happy time with his queens and mistresses here: perhaps the ambience of royal décor and happiness "sukh" around, the building was named as Sukh Niwaas.
Sheesh MahalThe other construction that attracts huge applause in Amber Fort premise is Sheesh Mahal. As implied by the name, the entire construction is embossed with multiple best quality glasses, best quality mirrors, and numerous glittering paints and frescos. Royal records say that the queen of Man Singh loved to sleep under the stars but she was not permitted to sleep in open air. The king made the Sheesh Mahal in order to give her the star-lit sky impression inside the room as the awesome arrangement of the glass designs can create millions of stars round the ceiling, walls, and pillars on placing only two burning candles at the center of the room.
Apart from these exclusive structures, Jai mandir, Ganesh pole, and temple of Seela Maa deserve special mention. Seela maa was the royal deity of Kachhawaha Rajput dynasty. The idol of the goddess is built on black stone and is believed to be imported from East Bengal by order of the Rajput King.
With sparking clean lake, red and white construction of the fort, sprawling garden around, awesome architecture, and royal arrangement of living Amber fort is the right face of Jaipur Royal legacy. The place has been marked as "must see" tourist spot in the map of Rajasthan tourism for enjoying the nostalgia of Royal Jaipur.

Dr. A.M. - A Case of a Modern Mystic? Implications for Psychology and Medicine
43 Pages Posted: 4 Mar 2016 Last revised: 30 Mar 2018
Date Written: March 28, 2018
In this article we report some excerpts from the writings of Dr A.M., a healthy adult female, in relation to the knowledge she acquired during the regular mystical experiences she has been having since April 2014.
This case is exceptional for multiple reasons. First, she experienced this particular state of consciousness without any associated medical or neurological illnesses. Second, these experiences did not harm her professional or personal life; rather, they had a positive impact on her life. Third, the knowledge she has been acquiring encompasses philosophical, religious and historical relevant aspects, the content of which extend far beyond her personal cultural and scientific knowledge.
This rare case of a modern mystic challenges our traditional cultural and scientific ideas about the relationship between ordinary human mind activity and spirituality, and between our inner and outer worlds.
Keywords: consciousness, mysticism, philosophy, psychology, religion, science, spirituality, human mind.

Money laundering: Parliament and Council negotiators agree on central registers has been saved
Money laundering: Parliament and Council negotiators agree on central registers
December 2014
The European Parliament and Council agreed on central registers. The ultimate owners of companies would have to be listed in central registers in EU countries, under a deal struck by Parliament and Council negotiators on a draft EU AML Directive.
The rules would also require banks, auditors, lawyers, real estate agents and casinos, among others, to be more vigilant about suspicious transactions made by their clients.
The 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD) will oblige to maintain central registers in EU countries, listing information on the ultimate beneficial owners of corporate and other legal entities, in order to fight against secrecy of obscure dealing, money laundering and tax crime.
These registers would be accessible to people with a "legitimate interest" like competent authorities and their financial intelligence units.
The new rules also clarifies the draft rules on "politically-exposed persons".
The deal still needs to be endorsed by EU member states' ambassadors (COREPER) and by Parliament's Economic and Monetary Affairs and Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs committees, before being put to a vote by the full Parliament next year.

This weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving celebration. In my life, I have so much to be thankful for! I am nearly bursting with gratitude for the beauty and love around me. I am one immensely lucky girl.
As I write this, 15-month old Jude is sleeping on my lap as I rock him to sleep for the night. Once he's settled I will put on the baby monitor and tiptoe out to the kitchen to make a cup of warm, cozy tea. I'll tuck Isabella in, throw in a load of laundry, and then work a bit on my newest batch of plush gnomes (: See? A beautiful life. So much to be thankful for (:

It's the cyclical question for every industry: Best-of-breed or enterprise technology? For healthcare, the pendulum has been swinging in favor of one vendor/one system.
At both the 2018 OR Manager Conference and Anesthesiology Conference, everyone my team spoke with who had experienced mandated adoption of an enterprise solution unanimously expressed unhappiness. Why then, do hospitals continue down this path? Beyond the extreme cost and time to implement, and despite the promises of supposed easier vendor management and tighter application integration, the one-size-fits-all approach simply does not address the demanding needs of the most vital department – the OR.
As hospitals scrutinize ways in which to improve patient safety, lower perioperative costs, and increase patient volume, they are once again realizing the value a dedicated TPA vendor can provide with a comprehensive patient tracking system integrated to their EHR software from one continuous patient record.
The pendulum is slowing.
How can Picis help optimize your perioperative process?

Or…How I'd Know It Was The Shortest Day of the Year, Even Without Someone Telling Me.
I've always admired how ancient civilizations were so sophisticated in their knowledge of celestial events like Solstice, simply by using their intimate understanding and finely tuned connection to the natural world around them.
I do not possess those hypervilgilant skills, and rely mostly on the internet to tell me what's going on all around. However, for Winter Solstice I think I could come pretty close to estimating the correct date. Here's how:
1) It gets dark, I feed the kids dinner and then tell them to get ready for bed, just like every other night. But at Solstice, and after the kids start howling about going to bed so early, I realize that I've made dinner at 4:30 and tried to send them to bed at 5:30. It's just! so! dark!
2) After realizing we still have 3-4 more hours of awake time, we all snuggle up and read books to each other. Last year around this time we averaged about 3 hours of reading a night…probably because it's so dark and there's not much else to do. This certainly doesn't happen in Spring/Summer/Fall.
3) My intake of carbs peaks right about now. Pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, potatoes, turnovers, dumplings, muffins….it seems like the shorter the days get, the more I crave (and eat!) all these comfort foods. At Solstice I inhale so many carbs that I kind of go into a carb coma until Spring wakes me back up again with her array of fruits and veggies.
4) I get a little sappy and cranky. Fewer hours of daylight = depressive state = more carb eating = mood swings. It's not pretty. But at least I know that from here on out, the daylight is slowly going to come back again.
It's not very scientific, but that's how I know that Winter Solstice is here. Happy Shortest Day of the Year!

The Left Hand Writing Skills series provides a specially designed learning programme to help the budding left-handed writer. It can also help to correct any bad writing habits where these have already begun to take hold... Learning to write well takes perseverance and practice, whether the writer is left-handed or right-handed. And handwriting remains a vitally important skill and despite the ubiquitous keyboard.
Early on, children need handwriting to make notes at school and, for example, write messages and cards. Later, good handwriting is essential for homework, essays and, critically, exams as well as all the other obvious daily uses!
Illustrated by Fred Chevalier The objectives of Book 1 of this series are to establish good basic habits of paper positioning and pencil hold, and to develop the fine motor skills needed for accurate, consistent writing at a later stage. The book takes the young writer from basic pencil handling and co-ordination exercises through to formation of letters and simple short words. The worksheets contain an entertaining mix of games and puzzles, which parent and child will enjoy doing together. Billy Beetle, Sam Spider, Willie Woodlouse and Sally Snail lead the left-handed child through a series of enjoyable worksheets designed to give the child the best possible start in learning to write.

Conventional medicine is great at some things, like emergency surgery. However, it often fails at treating more common problems, like frequent headaches or poor sleep.
Here are five common conditions that are poorly treated/managed by conventional medicine:
Acupuncture excels at treating these five conditions because it gets to the root of the problem. Conventional medicine only offers interventions (pharmaceutical or surgical) to relieve the symptoms of these condition, while acupuncture delivers long-term relief.
Often the quick-fix of drugs or surgery creates more health problems as the root cause of the condition is left untreated and/or undiagnosed. If you hear your doctor say the word "idiopathic" it means he/she does not know the cause of your condition. Not very comforting, right?
At your first acupuncture treatment, we'll diagnose the root cause of your condition and get you on the road for long-term healing and relief. Acupuncture treatments not only prevent conditions from returning, it can prevent related conditions from arising.
Every once in a while, one of my patients will receive what I call a Unicorn Treatment.
What is a Unicorn Treatment?
A Unicorn Treatment is a magical, mysterious acupuncture session that...
Maybe you've had a friend who's personally experienced a Unicorn Treatment. For example, a friend trying to get pregnant without any luck for 19 months has acupuncture once and conceives right away.
Results like this lead to a common misconception that the Unicorn Treatment is a regular occurrence in the world of acupuncture. Upon hearing these stories, many people try acupuncture once, expecting a miraculous cure, only to feel disappointed when the condition returns a few days later.
This is totally normal.
The reality is most conditions, especially chronic ailments, take multiple acupuncture treatments to resolve. Patients usually feel better after the first treatment, but if they don't receive another treatment within a few days, the pain or illness returns as if the acupuncture treatment never happened.
In my clinic, all treatment plans are customized to a patient's needs. In most cases, I advise the patient that their condition will take X number of treatments within X number of days before they feel consistently better.
So, if you've tried acupuncture once, and you felt disappointed because it didn't help you, I highly recommend trying it again (especially before resorting to an irreversible treatment like surgery). It's likely that consistent treatments will give you relief of your symptoms. And if you haven't tried acupuncture, maybe your first session will be a Unicorn Treatment, which will feel just as good as winning the lottery!
Let's talk about Chronic Pain...
A recent study in the scientific journal Pain found, "90% of the benefit of acupuncture over usual care is retained at 12 months after the end of a course of treatment." Indigo Healing Acupuncture offers customized treatment plans designed to provide you with long-term relief of chronic pain.
If you're ready to live your best life and return to activities you love, schedule a consultation by calling 512-686-0777 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Visiting a new doctor for the first time can be nerve-wracking. To ease anxiety and stress, we make it simple to get started on the path to healing.
At Indigo Healing Acupuncture, we offer consultation appointments to...
Consultations generally take less than 20 minutes. You'll be asked at the conclusion of the consultation if you would like to start the treatment plan right away. You also have the option to schedule your first treatment at a later date.
To schedule a consultation, contact the clinic at 512-686-0777.

Gasoline shortage to ease by next week
Most refineries soon to resume production
Texas' gasoline shortage woes should ease by next week as all but a handful of the state's major Gulf Coast refineries have begun the methodical restart process after Hurricane Harvey.
The gasoline price spikes of 20 percent or more in Texas may linger for a couple of weeks longer, but motorists won't have to worry about gas stations running out of fuel for much longer, said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.
"By a week from now, there shouldn't be a whole lot of stations with bags on their pumps," DeHaan said. "And, with prices, I think we're close to a peak."
Harvey knocked out more than a dozen Texas Gulf Coast refineries - and reduced operations at others - taking out nearly 25 percent of the nation's fuel production capacity. That has declined to less than 15 percent over the past few days.
Roughly half of San Antonio's gas stations remain dry, DeHaan said, while more than 20 percent of those in the Houston area lack gasoline supplies. That doesn't count stations shuttered because of damages incurred from Harvey's floodwaters.
In the meantime, the Houston area average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has jumped from $2.10 to $2.50, while the national average climbed from $2.32 to $2.67 as of Wednesday. The Dallas-area average soared up to $2.72, according to GasBuddy.
Major refining complexes in the Corpus Christi area are now fully back online.
Also, the nation's two largest refineries, Motiva Enterprises' Port Arthur refinery and Exxon Mobil's Baytown complex, have begun the restart process, although they are several days away from resuming full operations. Motiva said it hopes to be at 40 percent capacity for the beginning of next week.
The refineries furthest from resuming full operations are Royal Dutch Shell's Deer Park refinery, Phillips 66 in Sweeny, Exxon Mobil in Beaumont, and Paris-based Total in Port Arthur. They combine to churn through more than 1.1 million barrels of oil a day.
They all suffered damages or major flooding. Total's Port Arthur refinery, for instance, shut down abruptly after it lost power during the storm.
"We are assessing the damages, restoring normal utility systems and repairing known damage," said Total spokeswoman Agathe Bruandet on Wednesday. "It's too early to talk about start-up."
Phillips 66 said it is aiming to restart its Sweeny refinery by mid-September. The company said 1,500 people are working on the refinery and making repairs to fix the "minimal damage" sustained from Harvey.
Shell said it's still assessing Deer Park. "We will restart operations once all system checks have been completed," Shell said.
Likewise, Exxon Mobil said its Beaumont refinery remains shut down because of flooding.

I have come to understand sage to be the end-all be-all of energy clearing/cleansing herbs.
My mother was recently told by a psychic to never use sage as it can be more of a "beacon" for spirits and other energies.
I do have some experience with this. I've both researched it and used it myself to help with a spirit problem.
I found it worked pretty well and chased out most of my problem. But I compare it to mosquito repellent that works pretty well at first, but then after several hours when it wears off the mosquitos start biting you again. I found sage gives you a day or two break from spirits. Yo may have to repeat it more often. But what it is designed to do is break up stuck or low energy in a room and give you an atmosphere renewal. You probably know when you enter a room and it gives you the creeps, feels off, or claustrophobic. That's a low or stuck energy environment. And if you have a room with a difficult negative person staying there (like a really angry teenager), saging can help break that feeling up and calm that environment. We had an impossibly awful woman at work years ago who was so negative, some of us could feel her negative energy spreading outward from her office. So behind her back one of the other ladies would stay late each night to sage that woman's office. And it really did help us manage the negativity.
On the spirit side of things, saging once in a while clears the energy in a room and makes it less attractive to a spirit to hang around. I did want to note that I have heard that some of the tougher negative entities out there are not impacted by sage. And that's when you need to bring in a shaman to help. But for most situations, sage does the job.
I also recently heard that native american spirits can actually be attracted to sage because it reminds them of their culture and ceremonies. I don't personally know that to be true, but it's possible. If you live where a lot of native americans used to live and die, that could be what that psychic is referring to. Otherwise, most psychics and spiritualists highly recommend saging. But in case there is a negative that I'm not aware of, perhaps another EC member can comment.
On a final note, burning sage smells pretty nasty. It smells to me like a combination of marijuana and really stinky incense. And the smell does linger for days so expect to explain to people that it's not weed that they smell at your house. And whenever possible keep windows open when you sage. They say it helps push the spirits out. But it also helps get some of the stinky smoke out of your room as well.
Misery loves company. And there seems to be a "haunting pattern" where negative entities are attracted to areas where bad things have happened. They stay there feeding off of that. The U.S. has a pretty ugly history with abuse and massacres of native american villages. If you are in an area with such a history, that would make sense that you have a lot of unusual things going on.
I have had a lot of problems with my own house over the years. And what has helped for me are use of protection stones, saging, and places religious relics like crosses throughout the house. The crosses don't scare off all the negative entities, however, it does work surprisingly well on some of them. I also pray a lot and ask for angels to be sent for protection for my home and family.
Yes. My father being a narc and obsessed with my mom just made things worse. The medium my mom was seeing told her the spirit was also really obsessed with her. She said "he said he will never let you go."
There is nothing (at least, what is in the attic is very calm and minds her own business) at my current house. My parents house has roughly 6 entities floating around. 2 of them are aggressive.
I have had some spirits at my home that I don't bother with because they don't cause me trouble. They're everywhere anyway and it's a good thing to respectfully share the home. But for your mother's place she should try some of the things I suggested to see if they help reduced the activity.

I will work with her next time I am home.
There are 2 upstairs in my old room/the hallway - suspected to be the couple who built the home in 1880. They are the staring type. Their sight makes you feel like their eyes are boring into your skin - make you feel super awkward. They don't really feel aggressive, just creepy and nosey.
The one in my nephew's play room/sister's room/under the attic steps: I'm not sure if this is 2 entities or just one. A dog we used to have would charge under the steps, barking, growling and attacking something. That area is extremely creepy. It's like something's under the steps and angrily watching you when you open the door.
It might be a second entity as when my nephew was an infant he would hold conversations with someone named "big." and now he won't go upstairs to his play room alone, and sleeps on the couch in the living room.
There is another in the hallway/upstairs bathroom. My sister thinks it's a little girl who likes water. I don't like the sound of that and suspect some kind of malignant force. Never feel attacked, but really creeped out and almost pushed out of the bathroom.
The last one is in the basement. If you go into the basement you can feel it retreat to the other side. (there is a second basement, beside the part you enter.) There are no lights over there and you can feel this terrible, horrifying energy. If no one opens the door or bothers it, it doesn't bother anyone, so I'm kind of okay with this guy.
As for my attic - I've asked it to leave my sister and nephew alone while they visit. They're both sensitive and felt nothing when they stayed overnight. It seems to get curious when you enter the room, but feels almost like it leaves when you get to the top of the steps.
When I paint sometimes I feel it kind of hanging around. I don't mind (her?)
What are yours like @hop-daddy ?
I have come to understand sage to be the end-all be-all of energy clearing/cleansing herbs.
My mother was recently told by a psychic to never use sage as it can be more of a "beacon" for spirits and other energies.
I don't recommend using sage unless you are well versed in it, otherwise you may be inviting spirits in, instead of clearing them out.
I'd recommend dragon's blood, cinnamon, frankincense or myrrh instead.

My mother was recently told by a psychic to never use sage as it can be more of a "beacon" for spirits and other energies.
Depending on your location various tribes use blessed white sage for different things. I've not yet run across anyone of Native American Ancestry that uses it for cleansing, as they use it to call upon their ancestors, though people tell me that they've been told to use it for cleansing.
If you've tried it & it works for you that's great, if not you may wish to try something else.
If you believe the spirit is Native American you may wish to offer tobacco or something specific to the tribe instead of burning sage.
You're welcome.
Sage is like Hop-Daddy says mostly mosquito repellent. There are situations where it is ineffective and the big guns need to be brought out. Even then its is a learning experience mostly for all involved and can't really be solved until it is handled. I caution not to tackle demonic things as they will require other techniques plus those critters move faster than the smoke can affect them. You have to move faster than you can seen them...(hint) You powder 100 and 1000 show up, etc. This pattern repeats as a way to bind the person to do nothing but creaming them out and do nothing else thus bringing you to a halt spiritually. That is not good as the only real way to get out of that is to raise your vibration above theirs and leaving them in the dust which is the lesson.
How can we use cinnamon to get rid of negatives? Is it burned, sprinkled? I am very interested, since I've used cedar in the past and found the smoke very irritating.
Thank you in advance.....
C. Cat
Sage is only one part of a ritual used by the aboriginal communities...it has a deeper and is a spiritual connection to the spirit world....and for a really good cleansing it needs other herbs...a true smudge involves more than just sage...and the knowledge to use it correctly...
Sage, Palo Santo, crystals do help and let me tell you that if a room as many crystals, a variety of it, even positive entities won't be able to withstand this, because i came to know that for example, JET....enables to suck the energy of a ghost (a good or bad ghost) so of course these spirits won't even attempt to be near to you if you have a big enough JET stone near your bed or on you. I know other stones and crystals does this also. I know Obsidian is really bad ass when it comes to this.
I have had sage work fantastically sometimes with pushing out both unwanted energy, and unwanted ghosts. I've also had sage work for a short time and then noticed similar things coming back. And a lot of this depends on what you're dealing with. As @paul noted, there are many entities that don't seem too bothered by it. I've seen this first hand. And I also had a shaman I was working with confirm the same. I think like anything it takes a little trial and error. I think of it like a headache. Sometimes one aspirin does the trick, and sometimes you need three.

The Practice of Mahamudra
— The Teachings of His Holiness, the Drikung Kyabgon, Chetsang Rinpoche
Mahamudra - the highest level of teaching within Tibetan Buddhism. It rewards study and practice with the realization of the very nature of mind itself. There is not a single experience which is not subsumed within the realizations of Mahamudra.
In this book, the head of the Drikung Kagyu Lineage - Chetsang Rinpoche - explains each of the five stages of Mahamudra and its meditation practices.
On his first tour of the United States, H.H. Chetsang Rinpoche gave detailed instructions in Mahamudra methods.
He carefully explained each of the five stages of Mahamudra and taught its main meditational practices. He also gave precise instructions on posture and breathing for meditation and answered many common questions using the teachings of Tilopa and Gampopa to illustrate his various points.
This is probably the clearest presentation of Mahamudra meditation practice available in English.

A Gault&Millau Australia TOP 100 restaurantThe distinctive style of immensely talented Chef Karl Firla, who champions sustainability, continues to evolve and impress on the plate at Oscillate Wildly. The minimalist interior of the small yet stylish space provides the perfect canvas for the inspired creativity that unfolds on the plate, with the polished service experience that surrounds it both professional and unobtrusive. It would be totally remiss not to acknowledge the technique that underpins the produce-driven seasonal menu. The velvety sliced avocado, with bergamot and finger limes, is an innovative and nuanced combination. The exquisite presentation and sublime textures of the simply titled 'carrot and eggs' is something to behold, while the oyster cream with apple, chive and turnip is astutely balanced. The primary seafood component of the degustation uses scampi, lobster and Murray cod to great effect over two courses, with both beautifully balanced and thoughtfully composed. The wagyu beef, cooked over coals and served with capsicum and corn, is flawless. PSST! The private dining room seats up to 16 people, which makes it a perfect choice for an intimate function or event.Reviewed for the 2019 Guide

NEW ORLEANS | Late Tuesday night, the doors to Georgia's postgame Superdome locker room opened to reporters for 20 minutes.
Freshman quarterback Justin Fields, the most talked about player in the weeks leading up to the Sugar Bowl, was nowhere to be seen during that span. He never played in Georgia's 28-21 loss to Texas in what probably was his last game in a Bulldogs uniform.
Fields, the former five-star recruit from Kennesaw, is exploring a transfer, something his good friend, Cedar Grove wide receiver Jadon Haselwood, said he understood earlier in the day.
"I don't hold it against him," Haselwood, who still lists Georgia among his finalists, said by phone from the All-American Bowl practices in Texas. "I feel like he should be able to throw the ball more and show his talents. I believe Georgia doesn't really do that."
Another player in the transfer portal, freshman tight end Luke Ford, laid out his thinking.
He missed practices on campus while back home in Illinois but returned after Christmas.
"I'm pretty sure I can stay at UGA for sure," Ford said. "Maybe I can leave. I just want to be able to talk and find out my options."
Asked which schools, he's heard from, Ford laughed and said: "I've heard from all of them."
Well, he said, not every FBS school, but "a lot of them have offered me."
Ford said a transfer would be to get closer to home, likely to Illinois.
"Closer to family and my grandpa that's sick," he said. "He wants to see me play and I want to play in front of him."
Georgia could lose another tight end. Isaac Nauta is one of several juniors considering putting their name into the NFL draft. He said he'll have an answer "in the next couple of days."
Wide receiver Riley Ridley was asked if the Sugar Bowl was his last game at Georgia.
"No, it's not," he said. "I'm not sure what I'll be doing. Right now, I'm just getting over this loss. That's my main focus."
Wide receiver Mecole Hardman said he wanted to take time to think about what he's going to do. Running back Elijah Holyfield said he hasn't made a decision.
"I'll sit down with my parents and sit down with Coach (Kirby) Smart and weigh all my options," Holyfield said.
Even kicker Rodrigo Blankenship said "he's still undecided," and wants to "have all my ducks in a row." Safety J.R. Reed was noncommittal when he spoke to reporters.
The deadline for underclassmen to declare is Jan. 14.
As for other players, Brian Herrien, part of a deep running back group, said he's not thinking of transferring. Herrien rushed for 17 yards on four carries and caught 17-yard touchdown pass against Texas.
Inside linebacker Nate McBride, who has been limited to mostly special teams, was asked about his future at Georgia.
"It's a great school, (I've thought) about (transferring) a little bit," he said. "But looking past football, it's a great school. To graduate from Georgia, you're going to have connections beyond. I think I'm good enough to play here, so I'm just going to keep working."
He added: "I'm just going to continue working. I've definitely got to do that. I've got to keep trusting that God's got a plan for me and I'm going to trust in the coaches and show them that I'm able to play on defense and not just special teams and get them to where they trust me more to where they can put me on the field."

Nicotine Salts vs Freebase Nicotine
Nicotine naturally comes in a salt like form (containing both ions and protons) inside of a tobacco plant. Ions have a hard time moving across bio membranes and are also harder to vaporize. The freebasing of nicotine was done to remove said ion to increase bioavailability making the uptake into the lungs and brain easier and the effects feel more potent. Freebase nicotine has a lower half life than its salt counterpart which leads to vaping more for a similar hit as you would get from a traditional tobacco cigarette and also results in the effects wearing off quicker.
Pax Labs created nicotine salt e-liquid as a way for the consumer to get a more accurate tobacco cigarette nicotine uptake from a vapor product. They added benzoic acid to the mix in order to increase the bio availability of the salt compound and to make it absorb easier across the blood brain barrier. The benzoic acid also helps for the nicotine to be vaporized at a lower temperature and reduces the PH of the salt mix both of which lead to a smoother throat hit and allow a higher Milligram level to be used, leading to a more satisfying hit and a quicker uptake than standard naturally found nicotine salts. Giving the user a more relatable, smoking feeling nicotine hit.
Generally, people will vape nicotine salts at a much lower wattage, making it easier again to handle a higher milligram level, coupled with the benzoic acid there is no loss in the vaporization by running it at these lower wattages, however using them in sub-ohm setups can lead easily to a 'nic'd out' feeling. There has been a rise in nicotine salt e-liquids and shots that are the more familiar 3mg and 6mg that most vapers are used to, these are perfectly fine to be used in sub-ohm higher powered setups, whilst its up for debate as to whether these will be taken into the body in a more efficient way (personally I feel like they are) they definitely carry a smoother throat hit than their freebase nicotine counterparts, due to the lower Ph and that can be a desirable quality that a lot of people will switch over for.
Nicotine salts are perfect for the smoker looking to transition for a few reasons:
- Smoother throat hit can help negate the difference between a combustible cigarette and the tickly feeling of vapor that comes at the higher levels that a regular smoker would require to quit
- The nicotine levels can be higher meaning that they won't have to use the device as much, saving money on e-liquid and making it a more feasible choice where you have set times for cigarette breaks, with the lower levels and slower uptake of freebase nicotine allowing the effects to wear off quicker. Nicotine salts should stay with you longer throughout the period that you couldn't vape
- Because the devices run a lot less power and you use them less for the same hit it allows the user to have a smaller device that is less battery hungry and a lot simpler to use than a lot of the variable wattage products that you see.
And for the general already on-board vaper:
- Smoother throat hit on higher powered setups
- Liquids have less of the peppery flavor associated with freebase nicotine, allowing a fuller flavor
- Because it is the state that nicotine is naturally found it is more stable, gaining the benefit of a longer shelf life before it starts to oxidize and effect flavor, potency and color of the e-liquid
- Should be able to use it less, on the same mg nicotine (personally I find that I use around 2 8ml squonk bottles of 3mg salt-based liquid a day, compared to 3-4 of a regular 3mg freebase. Obviously, usage can vary from day to day and person to person however was an observation from myself)
- Can allow you to run a lower nicotine content (even 0mg in some cases) through "main" high powered sub ohm setups to enjoy more flavor, whilst substituting that lack of nicotine by carrying a smaller pod style systems with some higher milligram salt based liquid for a quick nicotine hit because of the smoother feel and faster uptake allowing you to run a higher strength without the crazy throat hit associated with freebase 12/18mg PG heavy liquids.
In summary nicotine salts are neither good or bad thing. They're just different and will appeal to a certain number of people, yet the exact same reasons could be negative for a lot of people, say someone who prefers a tighter more defined throat hit. They are a great stepping stone for smokers looking to give vaping a try and could be the answer to a lot of people who have previously tried vaping and couldn't get on with it for various reasons and with the TPD in place limiting the amount of nicotine we are allowed to sell people who were on a 24 or even 32mg may find the 20mg salts available now a little easier to switch to than the massive drop from a 24mg down to an 18mg. options are the beauty of vaping, something that other than brand and menthol or not you cant really have as a smoker, some may not enjoy nicotine salts but I feel if it was flipped, and freebase nicotine was the newest creation with nicotine salts being the standard for nearly a decade, there would be an equal amount who disliked it. As innovation continues we really are opening a part of vaping for everyone, no matter how many, how long or how much they smoked. Be it cigars, traditional cigarettes or pipes. It started with flavors, to make it something you'd want to use all day every day, then onto devices, either to match your style or if you wanted something small or big and finally to be able to fine tune the nicotine hit that you receive. Let's hope for more innovation in this sector rather than just more mods with flashing lights, touch screens and infrared sensors pushing 3000w, for if it happens will only be onwards and upwards for vaping.

Abstract— In transmission lines, the stability of the system can be improved by reactive power compensation and it also reduces the transmission line losses. The effective means to control reactive power compensation is done through installing Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). Optimal placement of these devices is important due to the high cost. One of the most promising FACTS devices for series compensation is Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). In this paper, a Sensitivity analysis based Complex Power Flow Sensitivity Index (CPSI) proposed to find optimal location of TCSC. The objective function of this paper is to place TCSC inappropriate place so that voltage deviation can be minimized through NR method. MATLAB environment for the IEEE 14-bus system has been used for simulations. The results obtained CPSI by NR-OPF were compared with the Genetic algorithm(GA) and Firefly algorithm(FA).

Four years ago, when I was suspended from the Calicut Bar Association following a Facebook post regarding the "eve teasing" faced by me at workplace, I didn't know that I was confronting an organised patriarchal system within the judiciary. Judiciary is a power centre in which women have only meagre representation, both at bar and on the bench. As a young junior lawyer, straight out of law college, I was not in a position to fight it out.
What started as a casual Facebook post written by me on my personal FB page describing the experiences in the bar association hall and court premises turned out be a systematic attack against me by the members of the Calicut Bar Association, mostly men. Some of them took the screenshot of the Facebook post and distributed the copies of it among the members of Calicut Bar Association, portraying it as an attack on the dignity of the Bar which needs to be nipped from the bud. What followed was a targeted attack on me and total isolation in the bar. Though I felt happy over the fact that I provoked a whole community of misogynists by writing a few words on Facebook, the consequences of it exposed to me the embedded patriarchy and its ugly hands.
Stench of patriarchy
When I entered the profession of litigation, as a beginner, the major hurdle was to work in a misogynistic environment rather than the professional competition. A junior female lawyer will be judged on the basis of her looks, complexion, along with the general prejudices based on caste and religion. Some of the bar members would suddenly become matrimonial agents and will assess if she is a "marriageable material" and based on that, they would determine the half-life period of a female lawyer. On the other hand, junior male lawyers are judged based on their passion, competency and necessary skills for the profession, and they will be given free advices for their career growth and development.
Initially, when a male colleague praised my looks, I took it as a compliment even if the audacity in his voice made me uncomfortable. But when I heard the experiences of others, I realised the innuendos involved in it and that this was only the tip of the iceberg. A female colleague of mine was told by her male colleagues that she could manage to get orders from court in her favour as she had a beautiful smile. We were supposed to be rejoiced by listening to these kinds of remarks. These unwarranted comments were counted as fair compliments.
Sexual assaults
Beyond verbal abuses and objectification of our bodies, many of us have faced with overt sexual assaults. Foot groping is a common form of sexual assault faced by women lawyers in the court halls. They take advantage of the fact that women would not speak up due to fear of loss of reputation, which is considered to be of high priority for women to remain socially acceptable. The legal community, that continues to be extremely hierarchical in addition to being encumbered by antediluvian moral codes, works like a well-connected and rather oppressive family, in which it is taken for granted that no one would speak up against the elders.
Suspended for speaking up
When I came out with my experiences of workplace sexual harassment, what they lost was that confidence. The responses were quick and the bar association imposed a hasty suspension without giving me a chance to be heard, violating the fundamental principles of natural justice. Further, I was asked to apologise and when refused they even threatened that I had only seen the eve teasing part of it and they can do more than that. This all happened in a public meeting in the presence of all the bar members where they even tried to physically assault me.
When I opposed the suspension, and contended that the behaviour of the male colleagues can amount to workplace sexual harassment, which was clearly conceptualised through Vishakha guidelines and The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013, I was told that the Bar association hall and premises will not come under the ambit of the "workplace". As per 2013 Act, places visited by the employee during the course of employment and even the inside part of a vehicle in which she is transported come under the ambit of "workplace".
Though the law had expanded "workplace" beyond traditional offices to non-traditional workspaces as well, Calicut Bar Association was not ready to accept that the bar association hall, which a lady lawyer visits every day during the course of her employment, is indeed workplace. The lack of gender sensitisation and complaint mechanisms forced me to file an FIR at the police station.
Where does a woman lawyer go to complain?
Suppose a woman lawyer gets assaulted in the court hall or in her advocate's office, where does she make a complaint? This is what has happened in the case of the lawyer in Tis Hazari court in Delhi. She was harassed and assaulted in the court hall and it was her resistance and long battle fought by the lawyers that culminated into the present historic order of the Supreme Court that direct the high courts and district courts to set up sexual harassment complaint committees as per the mandate of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and also the guidelines contained in the judgment of Vishakha Case (1997) 6 SCC 241, within two months.
Time will tell whether this order is going to be implemented by all the subordinate courts in its letter and spirit. Even if it gets implemented, it cannot be presumed that the committees constituted will serve justice for women in a highly patriarchal and hierarchical workplace. Gender sensitisation efforts should be initiated and mere representation of women in the committees will not make them gender sensitive. Despite all these doubts and concerns, in a system where it is difficult for women to find a space, the order of the Supreme Court is a hope and it stands for the dignity of the women community of the Bar.
