An aviation expert and the Public Private Partnership Commission (PPPC) have expressed reservation on the deal which Ethiopian Airlines signed last month with the Zambian government to re-launch the country's national airline, which ceased operations more than two decades ago.
According to Reuters Ethiopian Airlines has struck a deal with shareholders of Zambia Airways and had acquired a 45 percent stake in the firm.
Zambia Airways will become the second carrier in the Southern Africa Development Community (Sadc) region to partner with Ethiopian Airlines, after Air Malawi (now trading as Malawian Airlines).
PPPC, a government agency that brokered the Air Malawi deal, has said it is not normal to have an investor invest in two neighbouring countries; hence, the need to find out the rationale behind the deal.
"When it comes to airline business, it obviously begs a bit of explanation how an investment into airline can be justified next door. But the best party to answer that question would be Ethiopian Airlines. They need to explain what exactly this means when they invest in an airline next door to Malawi," said Jimmy Lipunga, PPPC chief executive officer.
"We will have to engage and try to get to the bottom of this while arrangement of what this means. No one has written us to explain to us on this and on the basis of the concerns being raise, the PPPC will have to take upon itself to find out from Ethiopian Airlines the motivation behind this," he said
In a separate interview, aviation expert Tonny Chimpukuso, who is former Air Malawi Limited tariff and industry manager, said the deal is a cause for concern as the Malawi government is yet to benefit from its partnership with Ethiopian Airlines.
"We can be concerned because we have not benefited anything from the deal between Malawi Government and Ethiopian Airlines because even the aircrafts are not a fleet from Ethiopian Airlines and Malawian Government is made to pay for the aircraft which is not even for Malawian Airlines," he said.
Malawian Airlines chief executive officer Hailemelekot Mamo said there is no need to panic over the deal as each airline [Malawian Airlines and Zambian Airlines] will have its own business strategy.
"Malawi Airlines is an independent airline which is owned by the government of Malawi and Ethiopian Airlines and it will be in business, there is no end in sight. The establishment of the partnership in Zambia would be beneficial to Zambia and the region itself because this area covers a lot of population.
"Therefore, Zambia will have its strategy, so will Malawi; so you have to see them as two different airlines and each airline has to do its business. Each airline will fly according to their space and will be able to carry passengers and this will create an opportunity for African nations to have access across the borders," he said.
Under the PPPC's original plan, the Malawian government would have offered up a 20 percent stake in the carrier to Malawian citizens once it turned profitable.
Malawian Airlines currently operates one B737-700 and one Q400 on scheduled flights to seven destinations in Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Kenya.

A Milwaukee business publication is reporting that a former Medical College of Wisconsin professor is claiming that she was disciplined and ultimately fired for arriving late to work after she attended an Islamic religious service. She has filed a religious discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the school.
Dr. Zainab Basir worked for the medical college for nearly 20 years. She alleges that when she arrived late after a Ramadan Eid service, she was disciplined. When she complained about the treatment, she was given a notice of non-renewal of her contract. Her employment ended in February of last year.
She was hired as an assistant professor in 1998 and promoted to associate professor in 2005.
The Medical College of Wisconsin said it "vigorously denies" Dr. Basir's claims in her lawsuit.
She states that she arrived at work around 12:45 p.m. She had notified co-workers that she would be arriving late because of that day's religious service. According to BizTimes, the practice and policy of the department was that physicians didn't have set times to arrive or leave work and that they could leave for lunch and personal errands.
Basir says that when supervisors learned that she had been away that morning for the service, they changed her professional duties. Basir considered the changes to be discipline for coming in late after attending the religious service.
After she sent an email to her supervisor opposing the change in duties, he apparently asked the dean of the school of medicine to approve a non-renewal notice for Dr. Basir. She gave the school a letter objecting to the religious discrimination and about a month and a half later, was given a performance improvement plan that included specific work hours not required of the rest of the faculty.
We do not know how the lawsuit will be resolved, but it is clear that the fight against religious discrimination is far from over in this country. With the help of an experienced employment law attorney, you can protect your rights, religious beliefs and career.

Those who are using iPhone/iPad might have seen "An error occurred during activation" error at least one time. It's one of the common errors on Apple device if there's an issue with iMessage or FaceTime activation. Here are other similar errors you might see:
- Waiting for activation
- Activation unsuccessful
- Could not sign in, check your network connection
If you are encountering one of these messages, this post might be useful for you.
How to Troubleshoot iPhone with "An error occurred during activation" Error
Solution 1: Make sure the date and time are correct
Apple services require the correct date and time based on the current user location to work properly. Thus, if your iPhone has incorrect time and date settings, activation and update errors will show up. To make sure your iPhone is set correct date and time, you can manually check and set it to follow your current time zone. Here's how to do so:
- Launch Settings app from the home screen
- Tap on General > Date and time.
- Toggle the Set Automatically switch on
Solution 2: Connect your iPhone to the internet
When you are trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone, but you're getting "An error occurred during activation" error, you should make sure it's not due to the interruption of internet connection.
If you are at home, you should check your Wi-Fi router to connect to the internet. After that, retry the activation process and check what happens. If you are not using a Wi-Fi connection for this procedure, make sure the cellular data on your iPhone is still working fine. In order for activation to activate successfully, stable working internet is necessary on your phone. Texting is also required to activate your phone number to use iMessage and FaceTime. Some carriers can require paying a fee for using their SMS service to turn on iMessage and FaceTime.
Solution 3: Restart iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone
If the problem still persists at this time, the next thing you should try is to check whether restarting the apps themselves can fix the error. This troubleshooting method has been useful for older iPhones previously, so you can try it here.
To restart iMessage on your iPhone
- Launch Settings app from the phone
- Tap on Messages and toggle its switch off
- Restart your iPhone and then check for the problem.
To restart FaceTime:
- Open Settings app from your device
- Tap on FaceTime and turn it off
- Restart your iPhone and then check if the problem goes away.
Also see: How To Fix iMessages Out Of Order On iPhone
Solution 4: Make sure software is up-to-date
A reason why activation of Apple services fails is due to the outdated iOS version. Updates not just include cosmetic changes, but also come with fix known bugs for your phone. So, you should update your iPhone to the latest iOS version if possible. You can manually check for updates to know if there is an iOS update available right now. To check for an iOS update, follow these steps below:
- Open Settings app from your home screen
- Tap on General > Software Update.
- Install a new update if it's available.
- When done, open iMessage or FaceTime again and check for the problem.
Solution 5: Sign out and back in your Apple ID
Another simple trick, but helpful for fixing "An error occurred during activation" is to sign out of your Apple account, restart your iPhone, then log your Apple ID back in. This method has been proven effective in solving errors related to iMessages and FaceTime in the past. You can do it easily and it will just take a few minutes. Here is how to do it:
- Launch Settings app on your phone
- Tap your Apple account name at the top
- Select Name, Phone Numbers, Email.
- Tap on Edit and then sign out your current Apple ID.
- Restart your iPhone.
After you have logged out your Apple ID and restarted your phone, go to Settings and sign back in your Apple ID. Simply follow sign-in steps after restarting your phone.
You can also do these steps to change your Apple ID. This does not just take advantage of a system reboot, but also it's helpful:
- Launch Settings app on your phone
- Tap on Sign in to your device.
- Enter your Apple ID and password when asked
- If your account is protected with two-factor authentication, just enter the six-digit code you received to complete the sign in.
Solution 6: Get help from your network operator
In many cases, carriers are the main reason to cause iMessage or Facetime errors. To make sure you have everything covered, contact your carrier to let them know about your issue, especially when you have recently changed your number.
There is a chance some conditions are limited on their end, which accidentally prevents iMessage and FaceTime from being activated. In addition, make sure your iPhone can receive SMS normally. If you are not able to send or receive SMS, it's likely that your phone won't be able to connect through cellular data as well, which leads to activation problems with Apple.
By contacting with your carrier, you will know whether there's a carrier-specific update that you can install on your iPhone to activate iMessage and FaceTime. You can only get the answer from them.
Solution 8: Get help from Apple
If the problem is not related to the network side, the high chance is that there are Apple server's problem. While iMessage and FaceTime almost never have downtimes, they still happen from time to time. But, outages for iMessage and FaceTime will not last too long. They often go away on their own within a few hours. If you feel these services have been out for a long time, you can contact Apple for further assistance.
These are possible solutions to fix "an error occurred during activation" error with iMessages and FaceTime on iPhone. If you have any question, let's know in the comment below.

Planned Parenthood files lawsuit against Arizona over abortion laws
PHOENIX — Planned Parenthood Arizona announced Thursday that it has filed a lawsuit against the state over three of its laws related to abortion.
"This lawsuit is targeting three specific restrictions on providing abortion care in Arizona," Tayler Tucker, media relations manager for Planned Parenthood Arizona, told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Thursday.
"These laws are harmful, they endanger patients, they end up pushing them further along in pregnancies and causing weekslong delays in terms of getting care, and they are not medically necessary."
The organization said it is hoping to repeal a law that bans "advanced practice clinicians" like nurse practitioners from providing abortions and a law that requires patients to visit a clinic twice with a 24-hour mandatory delay before they are able to receive an abortion.
The group also wants to repeal a ban on telemedicine, which it says prevents access to early abortion services, especially in rural areas.
The organization said in a press release that these laws have contributed to extended waiting times for abortion services and a decline in abortion clinics that has left 80% percent of Arizona counties with no access.
"Planned Parenthood Arizona has always been about putting our patients first and caring for them. We've been in the state for 85 years," Tucker said.
"And so this lawsuit is an extension of our way of promoting and protecting the health care and freedoms of the people that walk through our doors."
Tucker said the group is confident the laws will be repealed based on legal precedent set in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, a 2016 U.S Supreme Court case that concluded Texas could not create restrictions that create an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions.
The Arizona Republican Party responded to the lawsuit Thursday in a statement.
"Arizona is routinely ranked the most pro-life state in the country because of our sensible, compassionate laws that ensure all women are informed of their health care choices, while protecting the lives of the most vulnerable in society," the statement said.
"With this dangerous lawsuit, Planned Parenthood is threatening to reverse policies that put women and children ahead of politics, revealing just how out of touch the nation's largest abortion provider is with Arizona values."
Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich echoed the party's sentiment.
"Planned Parenthood might be disappointed its business model is failing, but we're talking about human beings, not appliances," he said in statement.
"Planned Parenthood should work to change the law if it doesn't like the policies, not rely on the courts to do its bidding."
KTAR News legal analyst Monica Lindstrom said Arizona's next step is to respond to the complaint and "start explaining why the rules are not violating women's rights and the Constitution."
"The court will need to weigh the burdens and the benefits of each of the sides and determine if the rules are, in fact, too burdensome," she said.
KTAR News 92.3 FM's Ashley Flood contributed to this report.

We offer ballistic protection from 9mm handguns through to armour-piercing rounds. Powershield and Safeguard Ballistic Doors have been independently tested and certification reflects the breadth of our product range, which also includes blast and fire protection. Our systematic approach to product development continues to keep us at the forefront of ballistic protection and our doors are available in both steel and timber finishes. Blast Doors Blast doors must have the ability to withstand the full force of a blast wave, yet simultaneously be visually appealing. They must also be easy to operate on an everyday basis by people of all builds. These are all defining criteria incorporated into our designs and many years of testing allow us to offer a wide portfolio of blast products. ASSA ABLOY Blast Doors have been designed to resist varied pressure levels and are available in single, double and leaf and half configurations, in both steel and timber finishes. Technical information Testing and Certification, Product Performance, Design and Evaluation, Further Protection, and Fire Certification Testing and Certification Doorsets are blast tested on both inward and outward opening configurations. Single and double doorsets, vision panels, single-point locks and multiple locking systems are all configured within testing. Supporting physical testing, we also have independent assessments from other recognised blast authorities. Product Performance Blast products are tested with charges from <1kg to over 500kg and for ranges from <1m to 30m. Our products are also tested with the inclusion of both soft and hardened fragmentation. Ballistic protection is offered from 9mm handguns through to armour-piercing rounds. All testing is to European Standards EN1522 and EN1523. This not only involves 'straight on' shots but also 'angular' shots, which were not a requirement in previous British Standard testing. Design and Evaluation Understanding blast is crucial when designing products or advising clients. Interpreting clients' or consultants' requirements has led us to study the propogation of blast waves and apply these elements to the structural loading of products. Software is very important as a complimentary tool to our testing to help understand the science of blast. We are able to model blast situations and then determine the most suitable product ranges to meet clients' requirements. This is often more cost-effective, as a building may often need more than one doorset but rarely do they have to be built to the same specification. Providing ballistic protection is also an ongoing challenge. New and more powerful weapons, ammunition and increasing threat levels mean that products need to be re-evaluated or re-invented to deliver consistent protection. Ballistic rounds travel at velocities between 450m/sec and 1000m/sec. When this is combined with armour piercing tips, it becomes a formidable challenge for our designers. Our blast knowledge provides an advantage at this point, as blast fragmentation travels at 3000m/sec, which informs and improves our ballistic protection design, giving confidence to customers and clients. Further Protection ASSA ABLOY Security Doors can build further protection into door solutions, allowing one doorset to provide protection against blast, ballistic and physical attack. Fire Certification All blast and ballistic doorsets can be fire certified from 60 minutes to 4 hours Close Find out more about this product range: Contact Us You might also be interested by: GlazingBallistic and Blast Doors.

Judges to rule on Ramsey case in December
By MATT KIERNAN
Hour Staff Writer
STAMFORD -- Three judges assigned to rule on whether a Wilton man accused of murdering his 73-year-old father was mentally competent during the incident will announce their decision in court this December.
Connecticut's Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver and psychiatrist Justin Schecter provided testimony in Stamford Superior Court Wednesday in a second trial hearing for 22-year-old Aaron Ramsey. Ramsey is accused of bludgeoning and stabbing his father, Edward Ramsey, to death in May.
"He felt his father was part of the forces of evil," said Schecter at the hearing, describing Ramsey's paranoid delusions during the alleged murder.
From three meetings with Ramsey, culminating in five hours of interviews, Schecter said he determined Ramsey was psychotic when he killed his father. He added that Ramsey believed his father was attempting to hypnotize him into killing himself with piano music and he needed to save the world.
A Global Assessment of Functioning test issued by Schecter to determine Ramsey's mental stability at the time of the incident gave Ramsey an "extremely low rating," Schecter said. On a scale of zero to 100, Ramsey scored a 10, signifying psychosis, dangerousness and accute agitation.
"I was confident with Dr. Schecter's findings," said State prosecutor Richard Colangelo after the hearing.
Anti-psychosis drugs have allowed Ramsey's GAF rating to rise to 50, though, Schecter said. According to Schecter, Ramsey no longer has delusions of granduer.
Depending on whether judges Richard Comerford, William Wenzel and Bruce Hudock determine Ramsey was insane at the time of the alleged murder, Ramsey could face 25-60 years in either Bridgeport Correctional Center or Middletown's Whiting Forensic Division of the Connecticut Valley Hospital.
Ramsey is charged with murder, third-degree burglary and third-degree larceny.
Thinking his father was either Satanic or part of an alien conspiracy, Ramsey began an argument with his father on May 3, ordering him to leave their house, according to Schecter. When his father refused to leave, Ramsey hit him across the head with his wrist and slammed him with a piano bench.
Schecter said Ramsey thought his father had "self-healing powers," so to make sure he would die, he grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him. According to Carver's autopsy report, an examination of Edward Ramsey's body found 50 stab wounds in the chest and groin area, as well as fracturing to the skull.
Carver ruled the death a homicide from blunt force trauma to the head and stab wounds, he said.
"I just kept beating on him, stomping on him," Ramsey told Wilton officer Robert Cipolla from a Norwalk Hospital bed in May, in an audio recording played in court this month.
In the interview, Ramsey said he still wasn't sure his father was dead, but he had to flee to a neighbor's home because he was afraid aliens would abduct him. According to Ramsey, voices in his head ordered him to kill his father to save the world from an apocalypse.
The voices said his brother, Michael, was a "faker and manipulator" who possessed his parents' spirits and was attempting to turn all humans into zombies, Ramsey said.
Emergency medical technicians who transported Ramsey to Norwalk Hospital said he repeated his conspiracy theories over and over during the ambulance ride and in the hospital, Schecter said.
According to medical records, Schecter said, Ramsey has had signs of psychosis since age 13. It wasn't until age 19, though, that his mental defects hardened, he said.
Ramsey has also undergone treatment for substance abuse in the past, Schecter said, but wasn't under the influence when he allegedly murdered his father. Schecter said Ramsey had been known to abuse alcohol, hallucinogens and opiates.
As for how long it would take for Ramsey to obtain mental stability again through treatment, Schecter said, it is yet to be determined.
"I'm not in a position to give you any sort of time frame," said Schecter.
The judges will announce their ruling on Wednesday, Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. in Stamford Superior Court.

The miles: how I covered 112 for preemies
* Part 2 of: 112 miles for Preemies
Dear Izzy, Max, and Kate,
I shuffled into our driveway, stepping from the road's pavement to the crumbling aggregate rock. It's separating, becoming gravel in spots.
I put my hands on my knees. I stretched my hamstrings and blew out a deep breath. Neither happy nor sad. Not exhausted. Just done.
I've crossed more finish lines than I can remember at this point. I've cried at some. Celebrated at a few. And I'll admit, pouted at others. Sunday as I finished my personal 112 miles I did none of those. There were no crowds of finishers or supporters. It was just me, and dusk, fall's burnt orange and deep red sky, the chattering of leaves holding on above or blowing away, a chill settling in. Alone in our driveway for a few more minutes.
You three kids met me on the front porch. A thousand voices at once. So it seemed.
about to start Sunday morning's run
I ran my hand across each of your heads and went inside. 112 miles, each representing a day our family spent in the hospital, finally behind me. I want to think I left those days on the road over the weekend. I think I'd hoped for that. The idea was to raise awareness for National Prematurity Month, but like so much in life, much of it for me was personal. I did it for you kids and Mommy, and other families touched by preterm labor and preemie babies, but I also did it for me. That truth surprised me as I went through the miles.
Saturday I covered the miles this like (Prematurity Awareness Day):
9 mile run
2000 yard swim
43.7 mile bike
3 mile run
Much of Saturday felt easy, until that last 3 mile run. My hands began to tingle with a mile to go, and then I felt dizzy. I walked a little, but finished at a jog.
Sunday I finished the weekend off like this (the 4th Anniversary of bringing you two little ones home – for the first time):
5 mile run
46.6 mile bike
1550 yard swim
2.7 mile run
I have nothing profound to say about the miles. I just covered them. Slow and easy. 10 hours and 22 minutes of moving time. Deep breathes. Sometimes thinking about the hard miles as single days and how easy the miles felt when I framed them that way.
I think this will become a tradition for me. An annual way to honor the 112 days that changed our lives and the 500,000 babies born early every year in our country. Maybe next year I'll do it all in one day. Maybe one day you kids will accompany me and we'll step into the driveway together. Under that burnt orange sky swirling with inevitable change, while life clings desperately nearby and above. And we'll remember those 112 days together. And think about those who are living them in the moment.
"It ain't the years, boy, it's the miles" – Chris LeDoux
I love you,
– Daddy

Having trouble with sticking pads? Sticky pads, usually the G Sharp, C Sharp and B&Bb keys can be the bain of a Sax players life. A good cleaning regime and avoiding excess moisture in the sax can help, as can avoiding fizzy and sweet drinks and food but your pads can also benefit from some care.
This EU made Pad Balm can be applied to leather Sax pads to help waterproof them and condition the leather to be in prime condition. This ability for the pad to resist water and general moisture can help avoid future sticking problems.

All children going through the California public school system learn about the California missions and I was no exception. My Dad took us on a special trip just to see the Mission.
Because these new reproduction buildings are already 80 years old, they have acquired a certain patina that lends an air of authenticity.

VIDEO: 2020 Kawasaki ZX-25R with Yoshimura pipes
Fourth in a series of videos from Kawasaki Indonesia, the 2020 Kawasaki ZX-25R is being modded and put through the paces on a dyno. Released today, the video shows the ZX-25R is fitted with a Yoshimura exhaust and you can listen to what a modded ZX-25R sounds like.
From previous videos released by Kawasaki Indonesia, you may have heard the ZX-25R in standard form on the dyno. This time around, it is definitely satisfaction guaranteed as the ZX-25R sounds like a larger displacement motorcycle like its ZX-636R or ZX-10RR siblings.
Despite displacing only 250 cc, the inline-four of the ZX-25R does mimic the sound of a much faster machine, much like its predecessor, the ZX-2. Of note is the blue flame emanating from the exhaust on the overrun when the throttle is released, indicating the ZX-25R's engine has the potential to be modded to great heights.
First shown at the Tokyo Motor Show, not much else is known about the ZX-25R, save that it has a 250 cc, inline-four engine that is capable of being revved up to 17,000 rpm in fifth gear. A previous video released by Kawasaki showed the ZX-25R is capable of 160 km/h performance right out of the box during a demonstration by professional racers on a racetrack.
As Kawasaki's return to the quarter-litre, four-cylinder arena – the last time any of us saw a four-cylinder 250 was the Yamaha Phazer 250 and the Kawasaki ZX-2 – equipment specification is high for the ZX-25R. This includes upside-down Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork – Big Piston) forks, Horizontal Back-Link monoshock, radial-mount front brake callipers, quickshifter, ride modes and traction control.

Identity Crisis is an episode from the first season of Garfield and Friends.
A dogcatcher gets confused over the species of Garfield, Floyd, and a dog.
Garfield walks into a pet shop, trying to use it as buffet, only to get thrown out in an alley as a result. He then encounters Floyd, who, initially not recognizing Garfield, begs for mercy. After exchanging greetings, they watch a literal rat race, followed by a dog being chased by a dogcatcher named Ralph. Ralph catches Garfield, thinking he's a dog, only to be told otherwise by the chief dogcatcher, Mr. Mendelberger. Due to Ralph's incompetence, he is told that he'll be fired if he makes another mistake.
As Garfield and Floyd walk away, they encounter the dog Ralph was chasing, who growls at Garfield. Garfield then barks back, claiming to be a type of dog known as a Fido Felinus (a dog that looks like a cat). The dog believes Garfield, and leaves him and Floyd alone. Impressed by Garfield's skill, Floyd gets to be taught how to meow, which is hard at first for him. Garfield demonstrates his ability to bark, which attracts the attention of Ralph. Ralph, convinced that Garfield really is a dog, chases after him.
Meanwhile, Floyd improves his ability to meow, which convinces the dog of a cat nearby. After learning that Floyd's working on an impression, the dog gets to learn how to squeak like a mouse. When Ralph finds the two while chasing Garfield, he catches the dog. The dog then squeaks like a mouse, followed by Floyd meowing. When Garfield returns, Ralph catches him, declaring that he has finally caught a dog.
Mr. Mendelberger returns, reminding Ralph of his warning. Ralph tries to convince his boss that Garfield really is a dog, only for Garfield to meow instead of bark. He has no luck getting the dog or Floyd to make their expected sounds. He ultimately goes crazy over which animal is which. Two other dogcatchers bring him into the back of a city pound van and drive him away. The three animals then continue impersonating each other. A bird watches before mooing like a cow and flying away.

Auroville celebrated Sangamam where all the workers and their families from the bioregion came together and enjoyed the events. It was a whole day of sports, arts and crafts, cultural programs and many more events. We were allocated a stall for STEM land. Three children from Isai ambalam and 4 children from Udavi came and they setup the stall.
We asked people to display their name or their first letter using the seven segment displays. Children also were playing games like abalone, Pylos, Dobble and gave some challenging activities to the people.Children asked them to solve the rubiks cube and cast puzzles. Children and the adults were happy to these activities. They were able to display their names using the seven segment displays. Some of them were also able to solve the cast puzzles and were proud of solving them.
We also gave a talk about STEM land under unending education. Bala talked about STEM land in Isai Ambalam and the EBD's we do there. He also connected with his personal life and the education system that he had before and said that he's happy to see children having an alternative educations. He also added that we can support more children in Isai ambalam school and people who are interested to join their kids can visit Isai ambalam. I talked about STEM land in Udavi and how children take responsibility of their learning. We also said that we offer free courses related to engineering and people who are interested in learning are always welcome to STEM land.
Nilavazhagan who has completed B.Tech visited our stall in Sangamam and was interested in learning more on what we do. Yesterday he came to STEM land and visited. He wanted to continue and started to come from today onwards and was learning things with children.

Next week we're going to spend a day looking at homes in Indianapolis. One of the homes we plan to visit has a set of patio doors off the kitchen:
*Seeing all that wallpaper makes me want to cry...
The doors open to a screened-in porch:
The outdoor space has a lot of potential (i.e. needs a little love) !!
I like the idea of having a kitchen that opens up to a patio or three season room...
House Beautiful
*For the record, this image is in my "dream house" file on my computer. I just need 5-7 more promotions and then I might be able to afford a kitchen half as nice... :)
*I like the molding across the top of the ceiling. The kitchen in the home we're looking at has an ugly support beam. Wish they had done this instead!
I love looking at homes and thinking of ways to improve them. It would be nice though for once to not have a ton of work to do in a home. Hopefully we find a house soon and can get this show on the road!!

The most common fax resolutions are:
Fax is a negotiated protocol, so it depends on the capabilities of the sender and receiver as to what the "best" mutual capability is in terms of resolution.
We recommend sending with black type only. Any gradient of gray may be unreadable even in the maximum resolution capable with fax transmissions.
Sending Resolution
By default, we send in fine resolution. If the receiver has the same or higher resolution, they will receive the fax in fine resolution. If the receiver can only receive in low/normal resolution, then they will receive their fax in low/normal resolution. A higher resolution is not configurable by the user.
Receive Resolution
We accept low/normal and fine resolutions. When a fax is received at hyperfine/superfine resolution we downgrade the fax to fine thereby cutting off approximately half of the fax on the right and bottom.
If you are not receiving your faxes at a high enough resolution and are not already a FaxBetter user, we are the only true free online fax. No credit card required. Instant Signup.Click here to get your free toll free fax number now.

Disclaimer: I have tried to recreate the events, locales, and conversations from my memories of them. The below-expressed views, opinions or analogies are personal and may not be in line with the widespread conceptions. Please go to Motorcycle Diaries -> India: Ocean To Mountains (or Click here) to check out the previous events.
Date: 6th August 2016; Route: Jodhpur – Jaisalmer
The only way to survive is to embrace the change, improvise, adapt and overcome.
As per the itinerary, we were supposed to service our bikes today. Since they were running just fine, we thought of pushing it for 3 more days and do the servicing at Amritsar. Now the plan was to explore Jodhpur and reach Jaisalmer by end of day. I wanted to take it slow today as Jodhpur – Jaisalmer can be done in 5 hours but my partner was in a hurry, he wanted to wake up early check out all the places before afternoon and reach Jaisalmer by evening. It was not a week's trip where I could have compromised on sleep, I couldn't afford to dose off while riding. I needed 8 hours of sleep every day without fail.
So we improvised, we thought of taking our own time in Jodhpur and regroup by end of day at Jaisalmer. By the time I woke up, it was already 9 AM and (as discussed) my partner had left quite early. It had rained heavily in Jodhpur last night which reduced the heat, the temperature was quite normal out there. I was there in Jodhpur for a couple of years during my childhood. Jodhpur city which I remember and what I see now is quite different. It's not what I thought it was like. It was kinda green in the desert state.
Meanwhile, I called my co-rider to check whether he was alive or not. He said he was already en route for Jaisalmer and my day was just getting started. There were few things on my list in Jodhpur and Bullet Baba Shrine was one among them. It was not just any other temple; it was devoted to a deity in the form of a motorcycle (Yup, you heard it right). It was on the same route which we covered last night. I had to ride 50 KMs in the reverse direction towards Pali. Considering the distance we had covered till now in the last few days, 50 KMs was just walk in the park.
At the end of the navigation point, I was looking for a temple but I couldn't find any. I heard some funky music on the other side of the road. So I took a U-Turn and asked a guy for the direction for the Bullet Baba temple. He was tying some orange thread on his bike; he said: "this is the temple". I asked him "where exactly?" He pointed his finger to the place where the music was played. While I was parking my motorcycle, a guy came running to me and offered me an orange thread, same as the one which the other guy was tying. He said it would bring good luck for my trip. As I was about to put my hand forward and take the thread, he said 100 bucks, for a 5-inch piece of thread, which people think will bring good luck to them. Are you kidding me!
I said thank you and I entered the temple. It doesn't matter that the deity was a motorcycle; they were following the same code as that of a typical temple. I had to remove my shoes to enter. People were chanting and reciting. The devotees were praying to a Royal Enfield Bullet kept in a glass box. It was funny but I didn't want to offend them; nobody likes it when you make fun of their God. So I controlled my laughter. I had to do the same what the rest of the folks were doing, if not the same, at least act as if I was doing the same. As soon as I finished praying, a couple standing next to me asked "Don't you feel hot in it? It's already hot in here, right" she pointed at my jacket. I pointed at her wrist and said "That orange thread will not save your life but this just might in case of a misfortune. I don't mind sweating a bit than losing my life". They smiled and walked away.
The next on my list was the Merahgarh fort. By the time, I reached the fort; the weather took a one-eighty. Even though I was breathing fire, I still had the enthusiasm to explore the majestic fort. It's huge and well maintained. While I was checking out the fort, people were staring at me as if I landed straight from the moon. It takes a lot of time to explore a fort of that magnitude but do check it out if you are over there, it's one of the must visit heritage sites in Rajasthan.
I wanted to explore Umaid Bhawan Palace too but I was worn out due to heat and I had some distance to cover for Jaisalmer, so I decided to move on with it. As I was taking the exit, it rained heavily for 10 Minutes. And this time, the rain was a blessing in disguise. It made the climate normal. The route to Jaisalmer was through the desert. I reached there by 7:30 PM and I reunited with my partner. He had reached by 5 PM or so and took a nap.
We had doubled our budget for Jaisalmer. This time we thought of staying at a desert resort which showcases the Rajasthani culture. And the resort was few KMs away from the Jaisalmer city. As we were riding through the desert at night, we were able to see the lightning like disco lights. When we reached the resort, the guy said it's raining in the desert! I said, "It's our luck that made the desert wet (humne registhan main bhi baarish karwa di. BC jahan jao baarish ho jaati hai)." We also met few self-proclaimed Gujarati filmmakers over there. Funny guys, they offered us drinks too. Anyway, we had a good time enjoying the live folk songs and the performances at the resort. I have fallen in love with the song that the guy performed, click here to check it out.
P.S. Happy Diwali Folks 😀

Software Change? Yes! - New 510(k)? Eh...
It is a well known tendency that changes made to software (new features, bug fixes etc.) often leads to new software errors. In a medical device context, this can have detrimental consequences.
The FDA requires that medical device manufacturers submit a new 510(k) when a marketed devices has changes, including changes to software, that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device or when there are major changes in the intended use of the device.
Of course, the word "significantly" is the moving target here. To facilitate the decision whether a new 510(k) is required, the FDA issued the guidence document "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" in October 2017.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said a statement that the guidance ..."enhance predictability and consistency for innovators deciding when to submit new 510(k)s by better describing the regulatory framework, polices and practices underlying such a decision."
Aligned has published an Aligned Elements Regulatory Wizard called When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device that codifies this guidance document and makes it easy to asses and document whether the software changes (captured and managed in Design Control Items in Aligned Elements) will result in a new 510(k) or if documentation thereore suffices.
The wizard When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device is freely available for download from the Extension section of this website and serves as yet another example of how Aligned Elements can reduce the development documentation effort of your device.
