Posted on August 29, 2019 at 4:07 PM
by Craig Klugman, Ph.D.
According to the British Library, "Cabinets of curiosities, also known as 'wonder rooms', were small collections of extraordinary objects which, like today's museums, attempted to categorise and tell stories about the wonders and oddities of the natural world." Two television shows open the cabinet to give the world a glimpse of medical oddities—the unusual cases that are hard to diagnose. Diagnosis landed on Netflix and extends Dr. Lisa Sanders longstanding New York Times "Diagnosis" column (she was also technical consultant for the television show House MD). The second show is on TNT/TBS, Chasing the Cure, and features longtime anchor Ann Curry. On both productions, a person's mysterious case is presented and social media is used to crowdsource differential diagnoses. The idea is that if a patient and their doctor do not know, perhaps more people need to be consulted to find a diagnosis.
These are stories of desperation, of people who do not have diagnoses and have chronic illnesses that have overtaken their lives, of people who lack health insurance and struggle financially. These are also stories that buy into the current zeitgeist that eschews the very idea of expertise. In this case, we are told that amateur medical detectives (MDs) and Dr. Google are just as effective as your local physician. In a Wired interview, Jared Heyman, the founder of a medical crowdsource website, said "no single individual, even a doctor, can keep track of thousands of unique medical disorders, with hundreds of new ones discovered each year".
On Diagnosis, the segments were pre-recorded and the entire season was released at once. Thus, when available, the episodes and the stories are complete. Dr. Sanders talks with the patients via Skype about the crowdsourced suggestions (which are posted as videos), but the patient is left to decide which suggestions are worth following up on. Most episodes present a single case. The episodes are slow and presented like a true crime procedural.
On Chasing the Cure, several cases are presented on each episode. Some segments are pre-recorded but much of the show is broadcast live in weekly episodes. At the bottom of the screen is a telephone number and website address along with a scroll of viewer posts on social media. Viewers can visit the website, view cases, and offer suggestions that are then reviewed by a panel of physicians. Because parts of the broadcast are live, some patients do not walk away with an answer. Others are seen by an expert and receive tests and a diagnosis (usually revealed to the patient for the first time on-air). Curry talks to the patients and the doctors' panel reviews the crowdsourced suggestions. This show is presented like a telethon where the patients are the entertainers and the doctors are taking the pledge calls.
While this may be a novel approach to many of us, the crowdsourced method to diagnosing disease is not new. Besides Sanders' New York Times column, medical crowdsourcing is used for diagnosis and disease surveillance. For example, Sermo (founded 2005) is a social media platform for licensed doctors to help each other diagnose their patients. Another website is CrowdMed where the general public can post cases and medical detectives suggest possible diagnoses. On that website, patients pay a monthly fee ($150-$750) and the detectives who identify what turns out to be the correct diagnosis share in cash prizes. The money may incentivize people to participate but the cost means that being helped depends on your ability to pay. Detectives may be more motivated to work on cases that have a higher monetary award.
Chasing the Cure has an "ethics team" comprised of a medical ethicist, social worker, psychologist, producer, and legal representative. I reached out to the show and asked to speak with their medical ethicist to learn more about their process and the issues they identify. I also thought that readers here might be interested in what it is like to be a television ethics consultant. After making it clear to the press officer that I had time available and this was not a rush request, I received this note: "Unfortunately I don't have our medical ethicist available at this time."
Nancy Berlinger of The Hastings Center said in the LA Times that she is concerned with issues of privacy, with wrong suggestions delaying diagnosis and treatment, and that information might be withheld from a patient to meet production schedules. For example, in one case on each show, a patient receives the results of their DNA testing. Since Diagnosis is pre-recorded, the subject presumably consented to having her information shared and might have been able to object if that information put her in a bad light. But on Chasing the Cure, since the show is live, consenting to having the information revealed means there is no taking it back.
On both shows, the patients have signed releases and consent forms. We cannot necessarily protect people from themselves, but I do have to wonder if these people, desperate for answers, understand what publicly revealing such information may mean for their future health insurability (if pre-existing conditions regulations are struck down), qualifying for life insurance (not protected under law), employability, or even for their future children's' lives.
Chasing the Cure makes it clear that people should not be using the show to diagnose and treat their own disease by showing messages after commercials that the show is "not intended as medical advice for the viewing audience. Do not use this information to diagnose a health problem without first consulting a qualified health care provider. No physician-patient relationship is created by watching this program." Clearly the production staff and ethics team were concerned that people might self-diagnose and treat based off the show's content. They want to be sure that patients have no expectation that they are seeing Dr. ChasingTheCure.
Some episodes end up highlighting the divide in medicine across countries. When a young woman from Las Vegas has her disease diagnosed by a team in Italy, she questions whether she can afford the tests they recommend. We learn quickly that she is in financial straits for her frequent hospitalizations and doctor's visits. The team in Italy explains that the costs for rare disease testing are covered by taxes in their country. The patient is shocked that medical care might not put someone into near bankruptcy. In most cases on both shows, the viewer sees the financial burden of illness including debt, fighting insurance companies for coverage, job loss, and attempts to qualify for disability and veterans benefits.
People come to the show when their local doctors "have failed" them. Thus, these physicians come across as lacking competence and patience: Challenges in diagnosis and dismissing patients who they cannot help (or who require more time, unusual thinking, or lack financial resources). The heroes end up being the medical detectives (many of whom have medical backgrounds) from more prestigious medical centers and research institutes. The shows buy into the idea that good medicine is not available to everyone, and thus the average doc is no more than an expert than Dr. Google.
One of the problems with this approach is that while it may help a few people, the concept is not necessarily scalable to helping a larger population. The concept remains a product and has not yet been adopted by a medical system as the normal way of doing business. One modest study (13 subjects) suggests that patients who use CrowdMed use fewer medical resources after receiving their diagnosis.
Given that these shows arise to help patients who lack access to medical resources and who face financial hardship because of their disease, are these productions a uniquely American phenomena? Are we poverty tourists glancing into the curiosity cabinet of people our system has failed? The U.S. is the only high-income country without a universal-type health care system. With our profit-driven health care, patients get only the care that they or their insurance (if they have it) are able to pay for. If you lack the means to pay for diagnostic tests and doctor visits, then you do not get them. While there are some rare diseases (unicorns) where only a handful of physicians may have ever seen the disease in real life, many of the stories on Diagnosis and Chasing the Cure are about zebras (rare but not unheard of), not unicorns. Actually, these are tales where people could not get diagnosed because they could not afford the tests and price of advanced care.
These shows make a spectacle of health problems brought about by economic inequality for the purpose of making money for the producers and staff. Even if participating patients walk away with a diagnosis, the patients are still in debt and still suffering at the hands of a system that views medicine as a commodity. The shows are one more predator preying upon these people in pain.

Hello all,
I've recently moved my website to an all HTTPS after purchasing an EV certificate from Starfield Technologies.
Everything seems to go well until recently I discovered that a particular browser from a device (Stock browser from Android 4.x) is unable to access my website, showing the error "Connection PRoblem. A network error occured". Weirdly stock browser from older versions of Android such as 1.x and 2.x works fine.
Initially I thought that it was a certificate chaining problem, and I've included the full bundle provided by my SSL provider but still no go. Even tried changing different cipher, yet still did not fix the problem.
Someone suggested to capture the handshake from my Android device and analyze the handshake. I've managed to install an app to capture the packets and uploaded the PCAP file to CloudShark. I am seeing a couple of Out-Of-Order and RST flags but don't know how to interpret them.
Can anyone kindly help to take a look at the captured packets and determine what might be the cause for the stock browser from Android 4.x device unable to access my website?
Thank you all for your time.
asked 01 Apr '14, 20:59
Hello, I've spent some time on the trace you provided, a real tough one I admit.
The good thing is, TLS Handshake goes through so there is no problem with the certificates.
The bad thing I believe is, that the TLS data gets tampered with when retransmission occurs and the encrypted data probably fails to decrypt so android closes the session after having received the first TLS Application data from the server.
Quite a wild speculation you might think but I here is some evidence:
Frame 36 is the Close Notify from android that starts the termination process of session tcp.port==49421
Frame 24 is a TSL application record 0x170301 with a length of 0x10a0 coming in as tcp.seq==3773 with a tcp.len==1292
Same happens for frames 35 and 38 - 38 being a 'retransmission' as well with data not being the same, even the tcp.len of the 'retransmitted' segment is different now!
filter: (tcp.seq==3773 or tcp.seq==8941) and tcp.len gt 0
Now, who is retransmitting and why?
Applying another filter on 'low ip.id' it becomes obvious that all inbound packets come through the same IP stack acting as a proxy: They arrive with a TTL of 16 and have incrementing ip.id even the originate from different servers (ip addresses).
One more peculiarity is that the inbound SYN_ACKs do NOT HAVE ANY TCP options, not even MSS when they arrive at your android. Also an indication that some not-so-modern TCP stack is faking your real servers. Added comment: As only android_4x devices have this problem it might a software device within the android itself that is causing this ...
I believe you need to fix or bypass this yet to be determined device.
answered 02 Apr '14, 11:38
Hi mrEEde, thanks for taking the time to analyze the captured packets. I've gone through the process of elimination and found that this error is caused by SPDY from LiteSpeed 5.0 RC1.
I've reported this bug to the LiteSpeed developers and they claim this will be fixed in RC2.
I guess it's never good to use Beta or Release Candidate on production servers.
Thanks again.

Should I Buy Bitcoin In 2020?
If you're asking yourself this question now, chances are you've heard about Bitcoin before but you didn't want to invest in it because of doubts and fear. Or perhaps you feel left out as everyone else around you has already invested in Bitcoin and you are wondering if it's too late for you to be a part of the digital of transactions. Bitcoin had reached its peak back in 2017, and you didn't invest in it back then, I'd say now is a good time.
A big misconception that people might have is that it comes with a guaranteed return. It's not always like that. You cannot be promised to become a millionaire overnight (although even that is possible). You may face loss or you may become rich. Bitcoin is funny with it's uncertainty that.
In 2017, it had peaked $20,000 per bitcoin but within a span of twelve months it fell down to an enormous 80% of it's peak shocking many and eventually scaring people off. In the next few months, there was a steady rise in its value. In the last two weeks, the value dropped by 6% only but it might as well rise up again. According to the Tom Clee, the co-founder of Fundstrat, 2020 will be a great year for Bitcoin due to various factors.
These fluctuations have made traders worry, but it's only a fair part of worldwide trading. Bitcoin has had worldwide acceptance and adoption as a common digital currency. Many organisations and payment gateways across the world recognise it's validity. Over the past teo years, the security and safety of the online transactions have been tightened due to regulatory measures taken by both the institution and the government which has made it very relaible.
In 2019, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $8,673.1153 . It reached a peak of almost $9,190 around mid Jan 2020. So far, Bitcoin has already proven to be one of the best investments of the year. Although there are few economist, like Peter Schiff, who say no foreign capital will.be entering Bitcoin space, the trust bestowed on Bitcoin still remains unshaken.
The thing with Bitcoin is, you want to buy low and sell high, rewarding yourself with a good amount of profit. So if you want to do it, go for it. There are many sites offering Bitcoins. For example, Coinbase- it is the biggest and most respected Bitcoin platform in the United States. It offers both an exchange and wallet in one, making it one of the easiest places to start with Bitcoin.
Then there is Robinhood, which started as a fee-free stock brokerage and recently became a part of digital currencies. The best part about it is that Robinhood doesn't charge you any fee You can buy and sell Bitcoin and other digital currencies completely fee-free on this platform. There are many other such options available to you, in case you want to buy.
The truth is, no one can give a 100% affirmative answer to the question. If you want to buy Bitcoin this year, you can go for it. However, you should not spend more money on it than you can afford to lose. Just stock market, the digital marketing world is also like roller coaster. So what matters is , you invest wisely in it.
Therefore, it is only logical, to say that there is no exact right time to invest in cryptocurrency, expect for it's peak, which some experts suggest would reach $20,000 in 2020. Now all you have to do is, make up your mind and take the first step!…

As a public service, here's a list of books for your global pandemic, self isolation reading — you are reading more now, aren't you? They're books I've enjoyed recently (though I wasn't yet in self isolation).
Time traveling, sister stories, romance, and mystery
When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal — 5 stars.
A poignant story of sisterhood and reunion, this well-told story of separated sisters moved back and forth between the present and the past. It carries the reader to New Zealand, for armchair travel at its best — especially nice when we're feeling housebound and phobic about getting on airplanes.
Time After Time by Lisa Grunwald — 5 stars.
This magical realism love story will break your heart and warm it as well. Moving through time in magical ways, the man and woman of different decades find a way to fall in love and sustain it. Their secret room feels a little claustrophobic to her — much the way we might be feeling a bit hemmed in as we isolate. Beautifully told, with vivid and engaging characters.
Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen — 5 stars.
A family saga combined with time travel? Yes, please. This is a heart-rending story of a time traveler who gets lost in another time, leaving his family behind only to form another and then have to decide in which time to live. I loved the SF Bay Area setting and the tender way the time traveler considers the effects of his traveling, to make the best outcome for everyone.
The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas — 4 stars.
The twists and turns of the story of four time traveling women — who invented time travel back in the 1960s — will keep you riveted, as long as you can follow all the back-and-forthing in time. It's essentially a locked room murder mystery, but it wasn't the detection of the crime that kept me riveted. It was — per the title — the psychology of what being able to travel in time can do to you, and to your relationships. Knowing the date of your own death, and that of others. Being able to meet yourself in a different era. All fascinating stuff.
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang — 5 stars.
This sweet and steamy romance between a male escort and a woman on the spectrum will grab you and keep you rooting for them to make a permanent arrangement. While giving the reader the classic elements of a romance, the story is highly original, with a setting that for me was a trip into a different community, an Asian one. I enjoyed the cultural exploration as much as the evolution of the relationship between these two charming and flawed people.
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman — 4 stars.
The witty self-narration of the main character grabbed me from the start. Nina is an expert in self isolation, an introvert's introvert. Working in a bookstore (the emblem of living in a dream world), she slowly enters a new family and the real world. Though the wit at time got a bit precious for my taste, I gobbled up this book and want to read more from this writer.
Shameless Self Promotion – The Invisibles by Rachel Dacus
(Magical realism fiction)

How Graphic! Using Comics to Teach and Learn
Is it possible to use graphic using comics to teach and learn? You may be surprised.
I'd never read a graphic novel before last night, but I just finished my first and loved it! Through a streak of serendipitous events, I ended up following the advice of a comic book writer/teacher I met, Alonso Nunez. I attended an event with a panel of graphic novelists and comic book writers to discuss the young adult graphic novel American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. Lucky for us attendees, the author himself was a panelist. This was the first graphic novel to be nominated for a National Book Award.
Plus, it was the first to win the American Library Association's Michael L. Printz Award. Also, it was awarded the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album – New. (Apparently, this is quite the prestigious award in the comic book/graphic novel world. Just in case you are as ignorant of that as I!). After reading this graphic novel, I understood why.
Arts Integration Possibilities
What caught my interest about comics and graphic novels is, naturally, their Arts Integration possibilities. Comics and graphic novels, by nature, examples of Arts Integration. They are visual art and writing seamlessly woven together. Each informing the other. Before I took my Children's Literature class in college, I had never analyzed a picture book, and appreciated how much artistry and intention are involved in every decision. This situation was no different. I had not examined how creating and reading comics might help students learn other content. In addition to, reflecting deeper on the elements of story before attending this discussion.
I never thought about panels with "establishing shots" and "close-ups". Let alone considered when a close-up is more appropriate than a broader shot containing a background. As Nunez mentioned at the event when students are asked to create a comic book, they must consider the strength of each medium. Asking themselves, what aspects can be best represented visually and which aspects are best conveyed in written language. Through guidance and questioning, students come to understand the essence of their narrative. Thus, finding the most effective way to express it.
Comics Teaching Content?
Not only are graphic using comics useful because students learn so much through creating them, but teachers teach so much by creating a graphic using comics. Or, by finding comics or graphic novels that teach content. The author of American Born Chinese, Gene Luen Yang, also happens to be a computer science teacher in a high school. (A place where he once also had to teach Algebra). He talked about how when he had to have a sub for his math class, he discovered creating a graphic using comics covering his lesson became far more successful. It was far more beneficial for students, instead of showing a videotape of him teaching the lesson.
In fact, students asked for comics even when Yang could be there in person! He surmised the comic book format allowed them to process the information at their own rate. Giving them the ability to go back and look at something again, or take longer on one panel than another. As opposed to the entire class viewing a "one speed fits all" video with no rewind. Moreover, Alonso Nunez added that comic books contain two sources of information better aid in memory. We know the more places we can store information in our brains, the better the chances are we will recall and retain the information.
If you would like to take a closer look at graphic using comics in the classroom, the experts tell me to start with Understanding Graphic Using Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud. This helps to learn the basics of using that format. While these are just a few examples of applications for the comic book or graphic novel in the classroom, the possibilities are endless!

As the asthmatics can tell you, spring is when the ragweed and Jeremy Renner counts are at their highest, and the past week has already seen them at their seasonal peak, with the suddenly ubiquitous actor signing on to two more franchises (The Bourne Legacy, Ice Age) to go with the two he already had (Mission: Impossible, The Avengers). Now comes news that Renner is launching his very own production shingle, The Combine, to help cultivate the Renner of future generations, and according to THR, his very first project as producer is a biopic of "King Of Cool" Steve McQueen that Renner hopes to star in, whenever he gets a second. Hopefully the film will include a montage where McQueen turns down all the famous roles he was offered—such as Ocean's 11, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Dirty Harry, Apocalypse Now, and The French Connection—just so Jeremy Renner can see what it feels like to say no.

My first bank account (which I still have as a security/savings blanket but no longer use) was actually at a state-wide credit union, but they're online interface sucked equally as much as their new mobile "app" released last year. Long story short: I decided to switch.
After researching and asking some friends, I decided to go with an online-only bank. Finally, back in November, I switched to my new bank which is only online. There's no brick-and-mortar locations for me to visit to cash checks, conduct business etc. It does however possess a lot of tools that I would use if I handled my cash directly.
It's an FDIC insured bank account with a credit/debit/atm card. And I love it. Checks are cashed via the iPhone/Android app, purchases have a push notification that pops up within seconds of swiping my card, I can deactivate and reactivate my card at will (e.g if I think I lost it, then find it later). If I ever need cash, they contracted for a fee-free transaction with a nationwide ATM network found in nearly every CVS store, and moving is a breeze because I never have to worry about switching [local] banks were I to move out of state.
So, to the point of this thread:
What is your opinion of online-only banking? Do you trust it? Would you use it? Tell me why or why not and discuss?

Selecting materials for a bathroom remodel in Southeastern Massachusetts can be overwhelming, especially if you don't know what you are looking for when it comes to bathroom vanities and cabinets. How do you tell the difference between kitchen and bathroom countertops? Which type of wood will stand up best to daily use? What does "dovetail" mean when talking about bathroom vanities in Fall River, MA? So many questions and, unfortunately, very few answers available unless you know where to look.
At Cabinet Factory Outlet, we like to take the guesswork out of shopping for materials to use in your home remodeling project. We carry a wide range of cabinetry, flooring materials, countertops, and specialty items that you can use to create the bathroom of your dreams. Choose from a large selection of styles, colors, designs, and options for small bathroom projects, large bathroom renovations, and everything in between.
Learning More About the Wood
Before you go shopping for bathroom vanities in Fall River, MA and the surrounding area, it pays to take some time to learn a little bit about how to identify good products from poor quality options. There are three determiners used by the pros to evaluate bathroom and kitchen cabinetry, which include the type of wood, the grain of the wood, and the color of the wood. Knowledge is power, especially when you are doing a remodeling project for your home.
- Wood Types – There are two types of wood that you need to know when shopping for bathroom vanities and cabinets. Hardwood, which is made from trees like oak, cherry, and maple; and softwood, which comes from trees like cedar, spruce, and pine. However, just because one type of wood is called "hard" and the other is called "soft," doesn't mean that one type of actually any harder or denser than the other. It is important to know the pros and cons of each type of wood that is used to create materials for your bathroom remodel in Southeastern Massachusetts so you can make an informed choice.
- Grain Types – Each piece of wood will have its own unique pattern in the grain. There are different types of grain found in the different types of wood. Some patterns have arches and waves, while others are curly and more of a spiral. Some grains are straight, cross, and other types are fine. The point is, when you choose wood bathroom vanities and cabinets, it is important to know that the grains will never match 100 percent. In fact, they will always be unique, like a snowflake or a fingerprint.
- Wood Colors – There are natural wood colors, colors that are brought out and made deeper through staining, and then there are painted woods. If you are going to invest in solid maple bathroom vanities in Fall River, MA then it is in your best interest to show off the wood as much as possible. Cabinet Factory Outlet has just about every color and shade that you could want, from very light blondes to dark espressos. Choose the color that will best suit the style and design of your home.
Learning More About the Design
In addition to choosing the materials for your bathroom remodel in Southeastern Massachusetts based upon the type of wood, grain, and color, you will also need to select a design. There are lots of beautiful designs to choose from that will complement your kitchen and bathroom countertops. Traditional styles, modern styles, and contemporary or popular styles are available in a variety of wood types and colors. Some styles will make your bathroom appear larger, while others will help to control the appearance of an over-sized space.

Drool-worthy and totally addicting–chimichurri sauce is for all seasons. This recipe will either fulfill your ribeye steak dreams or add mouthwatering flavor to your crunchy salad.
If you don't know what chimichurri sauce is, let us break down its essential components for you. It's a sauce or marinade that is essentially "olive oil and vinegar-based with very finely chopped fresh herbs, spices, and garlic". Some variations of it include mayonnaise instead of olive oil. Should you combine the two, even half mayonnaise and half olive oil, is an equation for a flavorful salad dressing. Revisiting the origin of chimichurri sauce, it was traditionally used in Mexican or South American cooking. Today, the herb-focused sauce can top just about anything!

Transport in Morbi
It is a fact that Morbi does not have any airport. The nearest airport is located at Rajkot, which is almost 70 Km from this city. What is more, even though Morbi has two railway stations, not many trains stop there. There is of course a third railway station at Wankara; but that too is around 27 Km from here. Therefore, if anybody wishes to visit Morbi, it is far easier to travel to Rajkot by air or rail and then take a road transport from there. As we have already mentioned, the distance between the two cities is around 70 Km. One can also come here via Ahmadabad; but that is located at a distance of around 190 Km from Morbi and therefore, one will have to spend more time travelling by road.
Traveling by Train to Morbi
However, another way to reach Morbi is to take one of those trains that run on Ahmadabad-Rajkot route and get down and Wankaner. From there, it is possible to catch one of the DMU trains that stop at Nazarbaug or Morbi.
Railway Stations in MorbiThe two stations located in the vicinity of the town are known as Nazarbagh Railway Station (Station Code NZG) and Morvi Railway Station (Station Code MVI). While the former is located near Bhadiyad Road on the right bank of River Machchu, the later is located on Navlakhi Road on the left bank. Both these stations were built by the erstwhile rulers to facilitate transportation of goods produced in the state. Till date most trains that pass through these stations are goods trains. Incidentally, the Morvi Railway Station is also a place of tourist interest. The architecture of the building combines both the European and Indian style of architecture.
Passenger trains that run through Morbi Railway StationHowever, few passenger trains also run through these stations. Most of them run from Morbi to Wankaner stopping at Nazarbaugh, Rafaleshwar and Makansar on the way. Besides, there are also a couple of Rajkot-Morbi DMU Passenger trains running through this route. Moreover, Gandhidham-Kamakhya Express and Gandhidham and Bandra Express also stop at Morvi Railway Station once a week.
Travelling by Road to MorbiTravelling by road to and from Morbi is comparatively easier and hassle free. The city is well connected to other parts of the state through a network of National and State Highways. Among them, NH 8-A which runs from Ahmadabad to Narayn Sarovar in Kutch district, is a very important road for Morbi.
National Highway 8-ANH-8A not only connects Morbi with Ahmedabad, but also to a host other cities such as Bagodara, Limbdi, Sayla, Wankaner, Samakhiyari, Bhacahu, Mandvi and many other important cities in Kutch district. Moreover, the road is directly connected with NH 8-B and NH 14. Together they form a network, which covers most of Gujarat.
State Highways in MorbiThe most important road that runs through Morbi is the Sanala Road. This road is actually a part of SH 22 that runs from Halvad to Jambuda crossing Morbi, Tankara, Latipur and Dhrol on its way.
SH 24 is another important road for Morbi. It runs from Rajkot to Navalakhi. However, the road is mostly referred as the Morbi Bypass or Morbi-Rajkot Bypass because the road actually bypasses the city. Unlike SH 22, it does not run through the town. Recently, the government of Gujarat has upgraded the Morbi Bypass- Navlakhi Road into a two-lane highway.
The third important road in this town is the Navalkhi Road. The rulers of erstwhile princely state conceived this road for connecting Morbi with Navalakhi port. It now connects SH 24 (Morbi Bypass) with SH 22. The Morbi Railway Station is located on this road. The fourth important road in this town is the Vavdi Road. It starts from Vavdi in Rajkot district and runs through the Morbi city to meet Mahendrapara Road.
Besides the above mentioned roads, there are quite a few intra- city roads running through Morbi. Jail road, Canal road Ravapar Road etc are some of them.
Road Transportation in MorbiFor intra-city travel, auto rickshaws are best means. Buses are the best mode of transport for travelling outside the city. It generally takes 1 hour 20 minutes to reach Rajkot, 4 hours 30 minutes to reach Ahmedabad and about 13 hours to reach Mumbai.
Travelling by Buses to MorbiFor intra-state travel, one can either avail buses belonging to Gujarat Corporation State Road Transport or use private transportation. The GSRTC buses are very clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. The fleet consists of luxury, semi-luxury, express, ordinary and sleeper buses.
Other than that, there are many private players that ply buses in this route. Most of these buses terminate at the new Bus Stand on Sanala Road. Tickets can be bought either online or directly from the bus terminus. Many travel agents in Morbi also offer this service; In order to contact them, you may refer to our page on travel agents in Morbi.

Legislation enacted in 2013–14 made major changes both to the way the state allocates funding to school districts and the way the state supports and intervenes in under-performing districts. The legislation was the culmination of more than a decade of research and policy work on California's K–12 funding system. In addition to creating a new funding formula, the 2013–14 package of legislation establishes a set of new rules relating to school district transparency and accountability. Specifically, under the new rules, districts are required to adopt Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs). Districts that do not meet the goals specified in their LCAPs and fail to improve educational outcomes are to receive assistance through a new system of support and intervention.
The LCAP is written to address the needs of our students in the Court & Community Schools. We value the involvement of all stakeholders, including teachers, students, school staff, parents, Probation, bargaining unit representatives, community partners and others. There will be multiple opportunities to become involved, including meetings at various locations throughout the county, at staff meetings, school site council meetings, and surveys. At these meetings, we will provide a status report regarding the implementation of the current year LCAP, as well as invite feedback, suggestions and comments to inform the development of the 2020-23 LCAP.

Second year with my 2 Warres. Hive last year swarmed late and didn't requeen so started off this year with 2 warre hives and 2 packages one Carni and another Italian. The Carnies were really slow taking off but appeared to be doing well. Sugar rolled them in June and had 4 mites. Hit them with the vapor every 5 days 5 times and next roll was zero. Italians took off like crazy. Mean as rattle snakes but building comb and increasing like crazy. Sugar rolled them at the same time as the carnies and only one mite. Left them alone. Italians filled up 2 3/4 Warre boxes by July and I added a 4th to the bottom. The Carnies had filled 1 1/2 boxes but they are Lang deep so they have a lot more volume. Both hives are full framed. Being Carnies I added a third box to provent swarming. Well I went into both hives Labor day. Italians 1st to my surprise only a couple frames of honey and brood box was in the top for the most part. I figured since there were so many bees they had out eat their selfs out of stores. Went into the Carnies and same situation. Little honey and brood box in top box. This was one of the best growing Summers in history hear in South Arkansas. Rain was perfect. Bahaya grass waist deep in the pasture my cows and horses can't eat fast enough. In a dry year I don't know what they would do. Sugar rolled both again. Carnies Zero mites. The pic tells the tail on the Italians. I quit shaking at 11. They got nuked that night!!lol So I got the top hive feeder back on both last night. Will check to see if they are taking the syrup today.
Now my questions. Is it normal for a package to have this little stores this time of year since it's been so wet? Keep feeding them threw Fall? Since both hives have an empty box on bottom and the box above about half full should I pull it now, leave till frost or leave all winter. Of course hear in S. Arkansas the winters are pretty mild and I'll slide in bottom over the screen once real Winter sets in.
Oh and to finish up I couldn't find my Carni queen when I put it back together. Sure she's fine I just always like to see the queen safe in the middle when I close it up!

…Don't join issues over Nwoko's death– cleric cautions IPOB
By Chukwuemeka Chimerue
OWERRI— Igbo ministers under the auspices of the Igbo Council of Christian Ministers, ICCM, has queried the assailants of late pro-Biafra Prophet, Anthony Nwoko, who was brutally murdered in cold blood at his residence in Enugu.
In a statement issued in Owerri, the Imo state capital on Saturday, 11th May, 2019 by the National Coordinator of the group, Reverend Rowland Nwachukwu, ICCM, stated they would stop at nothing in unraveling those behind the death of the fiery prophet.
"Who killed Prophet Anthony Nwoko? Igbo ministers are asking. This question will continue to echo in the winds and air of time in Igboland until those who killed this fragile and defenceless cleric are unmasked, it will not be long anyway," part of the statement reads.
Addressing the ministers during the groups' prayer Summit/Dialogue, organized by the council, Rev. Nwachukwu said the council condemned in strong terms, the spilling of Prophet Nwoko's blood in Igbo land at this critical time, adding that "the act was not only barbaric but wickedness of the highest order against God and humanity."
He further stated that, "this evil act is capable of causing doom in the entire Igbo land, if sincere prayers of cleansing and forgiveness from God is not done. We are talking about wasting the blood of a prophet.
"Following the news closely, those who killed Prophet Nwoko did not even disclose their reason for murdering him. But hear this, those who carried out this heinous crime should know that, they are under heaven and does not have anywhere to hide. God will expose them."
The cleric who was visibly not happy over the development, said to the participants in the occasion, "we have a strong confidence in the Nigeria Police and the DSS that soon they will come out with their findings and possibly bring to book those who committed this wicked act."
Rev. Nwachukwu recalled that, "On Wednesday, 29th July 2009, Igbo Council of Christian Ministers organised prayer Summit/Dialogue in Lagos. Late Prophet Anthony Nwoko was present in that occasion. In his speech, he called for unity among Ndigbo and equally warned that Igbos should love one another.
"If Prophet Nwoko was killed for what he believes in, then he was a martyr. And you cannot spill the blood of a prophet and expect heaven to smile at you and your generations."
The cleric further cautioned members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, advising them to be wary of their utterances in the public domain so as not to cause disunity over the death of the slain prophet.
"While we wait for the ongoing investigations by the security operatives to unravel the killers, I want to use this medium to warn the IPOB family to be careful in their utterances, and don't join issues with the death of Prophet Nwoko.
"The world is watching, instead of accusing each other, they should close ranks and give useful information to the security operatives on how to fish out those who committed this heinous crime.
"The message and act of unity is a priority in today's Ndigbo both home and diaspora. Whatever that will cause disunity now should be ignored."
He concluded by advising those seeking for public support for the burial arrangements of the late prophet to take caution, so as not to engage in any act capable of distracting the ongoing investigations in the murder.
According to him, "How and when the late prophet will be buried will be made public with full consent of his family."

ISLAMABAD - As the inter telephonic exchange of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) have become dysfunctional, the Departmental Working Committee (DWC) has decided to install a new exchange at the cost of Rs 44 million on a priority basis.
According to sources, telephone exchange of the hospital had collapsed due to overload as telephone connections of Burn Centre, Cardiac Centre and new blocks were also added to it.
Telephone sets in different blocks and wards of the hospital would also be changed.
The Planning Commission has approved the project, though the expenses for the installation of the exchange would be paid from the funds already allocated to the medical complex.

Flamborough Lighthouse (14.09.10)
Although at first the weather seemed to be against us, no sooner had we stepped outside the classroom to go to the coach than out came the sunshine, which stayed with us for the rest of the day.
So many steps. Mrs Booth & Mrs England certainly like to keep us fit.
We were all smiling when we reached the top.
The view from the top was spectacular, well worth the climb.
'Wow' now that's what I call a light bulb!
The Lighthouse uses 1000 watt bulb.
We had a fabulous view of the old Lighthouse.
With our tour of the Lighthouse finished it was time to look at some of the coastal features that Flamborough is famous for.
Time for some lunch.
Over to the North side for some more activities.
Hope you like our Lighthouse picture made of the chalk stones.
A big thankyou to all of our adult helpers today from all of class 3 and from Mrs England & Mrs Booth.

Jackie Gerstein -- "Curricular enhancements incl. technology integration need to be approached with an open mind and a critical eye - a full body balancing act."
Kare Anderson - - "The most common and satisfying ways we learn and invent are not from sitting in a classroom seat being taught or trained. The world is too complex and fluid now to keep up with everything all by yourself. That doesn't mean that we aren't sought-after for our mastery of a topic or skill. It simply means we stay relevant when we engage in projects with diverse others, learning and experimenting as we go. Like children we still learn best by observing, imitating, re-mixing, making fresh mistakes and, most of all, by playing and using our imagination - with others."
Maria Popova -- "While 'old media' fought against the scarcity of information, new
media are fighting the overabundance of information."
Douglas Thomas and John Seely Brown -- "When information is stable, the explicit dimension becomes very important. The speed of light, for example, is probably not going to change....The twenty-first centry, however, belongs to the tacit. In the digital world we learn by doing, watching, and experiencing... not by taking a class or reading a manual."
Winston Churchill -- "The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes."

Mozi products
I think their favourite design of mine is 'The medina'. I think the reds, blues and whites are a perfect match for our home, not to mention the cute little birdies. Blog readers, my birthday is not too far away, so I'm adding all these to my wishlist.
Oven mitts and pot holder…
The delightful decanter…

Hi! thanks for contacting me. I completely agree with you whole-heartedly. I'm quite sure i'll get to a point where i have no choice but to break the pledge, but if that one purchase is at least quality and will last me years then that is the best i can do. definitely boycotting places like target, but my biggest gripe is with Supre. anyway i had better stop now before i go off on a rant :DReplyDelete
good luck with your pledge, i'd love to know how it goes, i'll add you to the list right now.
i haven't worked out how to embed code on a badge yet, so what everyone has been doing is saving the image to their computer then adding it to their blog as a gadget with a hyper-link. if you don't know what i mean, let me know and i'll explain it better.

Hi Isis!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your response - I'll have a play around with the badge on the weekend and see if I can work out how to add it to my blog. It shouldn't be too hard I'm sure. :)
I certainly share your sentiments about Supre, although I don't think I've ever actually bought anything from there (although I do have my fair share of cheap, crappy clothes from similar stores).
I'll aim to do a blog post in the coming days about the pledge, and what I hope to personally achieve. I must admit that underwear is something I hadn't really considered until I read your blog, but your list has given me some excellent options!
I'm sure I'll be in touch over the coming months...

Hey Angelina! I knew they were from Melbourne, but didn't know you had a mutual friend. Makes sense - the design world is indeed small in this country!ReplyDelete

Since most of the games for the 360 and PS3 are going to be available on both platforms, buying decisions for some consumers will often come down to which system has the most bullet points on the back of the box. One of the first shots in that war is seen on NBA 2K7, which will use the Sixaxis (SIXAXIS! WOO!) controller's motion-sensing technology for free throws. I will admit this feels a little gimicky to me, but I'll put off final judgement until I can actually play the game. I'm just hoping this is something we'll be able to toggle on and off.
With development costs rising and ports becoming more prevalent, I wonder if Sony will have the same problem with Sixaxis that the DS had in its early days in trying to get developers to support the touch screen. Are we going to see many games that use the motion-sensing features of the controller, or will it mostly be smaller bits of the game like NBA 2K7? We're going to have to wait and see.
