text: Patient Info Our Care Team As a patient, you will meet with personal care team members who will be involved with your medical care, and extended team members who provide support during your time at the Princeton Radiation Oncology Center. Your Personal Care Team Radiation Oncologist Your physician in radiation oncology. She or he is a specialist in treating cancer with radiation. At Princeton Radiation Oncology Center, all Radiation Oncologists are board certified by the American Board of Radiology. The radiation oncologist is responsible for planning your care, as well as prescribing and supervising your treatment. You will see your radiation oncologist on your first visit to the Center and during the planning stages of your treatment. Once your daily treatments begin, you will be scheduled to see your radiation oncologist at least once a week to monitor your progress, including (if possible) response to the tumor and treatment side effects. Radiation Therapist Those responsible for delivering your daily treatment, which is prescribed by the radiation oncologist. At Princeton Radiation Oncology Center, all Radiation Therapists are certified in radiation therapy by the American Registry of Radiologic Technology and licensed by the State of New Jersey. Radiation therapists are trained in operating the technology that delivers radiation therapy. Do not hesitate to notify your radiation therapist if you have any questions or concerns throughout your treatment. They will refer you to the appropriate team member. Radiation Oncology Nurse Registered nurses who work closely with the radiation oncologist and other staff to coordinate your care. You will have a primary nurse working with you during all phases of your treatment. Your nurse will provide you with information concerning your treatment and self-care measures to manage potential side effects of radiation therapy. In addition, your nurse will be available for any questions or concerns you may have both during and after completion of your treatment. If necessary, your nurse may refer you to other supportive care referrals such as Social Worker, Counselor, Nutritionist and/or Support Groups. Your Extended Team Medical Physicist Specialists in the measurement and delivery of radiation. At Princeton Radiation Oncology Center, all Medical Physicists are board certified by the American Board of Radiology or American Board of Medical Physics. They are responsible for the overall safety and accuracy of the treatment machines as well as for the treatment-planning computers used to determine the beam arrangements for your treatment. The medical physicists may be asked to assist the radiation oncologist with additional calculations, measurements or design of special treatment aids. The medical physicist also checks your initial treatment plan and treatment machine monitor unit calculations.

ROSWILA'S (70th) BIRTHDAY CARDS w/Mini-Review of The Circle of Life Tarot
The cards below are from The Circle of Life Tarot, which I just finished studying a couple of weeks ago. I bought it back in 2008 but somehow never got around to spending time with it card by card until just now. It's a delightful deck, if a bit of a challenge to my aging eyes with its tendency to pale colors and very tiny details. I also have never been all that fond of round decks for all the claim that they provide more of a variety in meanings (differing tilts and slants, if you will). I don't even read rectangular or square cards using reverses as I find plenty of variety in the upright images. Yet I still thoroughly enjoyed my journey through it's alternate worlds and intriguing artwork. The little white book that accompanies it has some unusual takes on the cards, as well, and it's images have a sense of humor at times. I may do a post in the future of just the cards that tickled me most, even as they addressed more serious issues.
And now, below, the cards that are "mine":

Weight loss can be a long and daunting task but some factors can make the business even more difficult. Among these reasons are some me...
Weight loss can be a long and daunting task but some factors can make the business even more difficult. Among these reasons are some medications that prevent you from reaching your dream weight. Explanations.
The components of some medications used to cure diseases can prevent your body from losing weight appropriately. This list includes anti-inflammatory, medicines for diabetes, anxiety or hypertension. Here's what to know about these medications and how they act on your body.
Weight gain, a side effect
Some medications have as a side effect weight gain. If you are undergoing treatment, you may want to eat a healthy diet or exercise regularly, it will be almost impossible to lose weight. According to Dr. Arthur Frank, specialist in weight studies at the University of Washington, weight gain is the inevitable consequence of taking certain drugs, especially if the body reacts badly to prescription molecules.
One refers to such a problem by the name of "obesity due to drugs". The worst thing is that many people suffer from it but do not know it.
Which Medications Are Involved?
Weight gain is a widespread phenomenon in people with diabetes because of insulin. The injection of this hormone is accompanied by weight gain because the glucose is then stored in the body.
The feeling of hunger increases what causes the diabetic person to eat constantly. The more the person eats, the more she gains weight and the more she will need to increase the dose of insulin. This vicious circle overcomes any attempt to lose weight. If this is your case, you should absolutely follow closely and regularly check your weight because overweight and diabetes do not mix.
Psychiatric treatment
It has been shown that the combination of drugs such as mood stabilizers, neuroleptics and antidepressants generates high weight gain in patients. These products are prescribed for conditions such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression. Although patients do their best to lose weight, each dose of these drugs is equal to a few grams more.
When the person takes it, she feels better and recovers her appetite. Some of these antidepressants have antihistamine effects and contain a substance that increases the level of serotonin in the blood, resulting in unavoidable weight gain.
It is found mostly in medicines to treat allergies. Antihistamines open the appetite and make weight loss extremely difficult. Doctors prescribe them because they have powerful sleeping properties and actively combat anxiety.
Betablockers prevent you from losing weight as they lower your energy level, which makes you eat and makes you less able to exercise, while to lose weight, you need a lot of energy . It is difficult to train regularly if strength is missing.
These drugs also decrease the body's ability to burn calories (less than 80 per day) and block receptors that activate lipolysis (lipid degradation).
They are usually prescribed in cases of high blood pressure, migraines and glaucoma.
Antibiotics disrupt intestinal bacteria, making it difficult to get a good flow. In the field of agriculture, it is very common for antibiotics to be given to animals to make them easier to gain weight. The problem is that by consuming it, you will gradually gain weight.
The steroids
They hinder weight loss by slowing down the functioning of the metabolism. Who says slow metabolism says physiological inability to lose weight. Each meal you take will turn directly into fat, especially in the belly area. Steroids are often administered to patients with autoimmune diseases such as asthma or lupus.
Medications for diabetes
In addition to insulin, some drugs to treat type 2 diabetes make weight loss impossible. They store calories in your body, lower your blood sugar levels and open up an excessive appetite.
Before taking any of the medicines on this list, your doctor is obliged to inform you of any possible side effects and offer you alternatives or solutions to counter them.

PORTLAND — While a City Council committee mulls a new plan for using public space in Congress Square, the plan's backers and opponents will square off in two neighborhood meetings this week.
Representatives of RockBridge Capital LLC and New Castle Hotels & Resorts, owners of the adjacent Eastland Park Hotel, presented the design – the third proposed to date – at an April 24 workshop with the council's Housing and Community Development Committee.
RockBridge and New Castle are completing a massive, $40 million renovation of the hotel, which is scheduled to reopen in December as the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel. The owners also hope to acquire a portion of neighboring Congress Square Plaza, the hardscaped space at the corner of Congress and High streets.
The city-owned plaza, widely regarded as a failed public space, would be the site of the hotel's 5,000-square-foot event center, hosting conferences and large meetings.
Opinion about the proposal has been sharply divided. But at the April 24 presentation, New Castle vice president and the Westin Portland general manager, Bruce Wennerstrom, invited the public to contact him with feedback on the plan.
Wennerstrom and project architect Patrick Costin met the next day with representatives of Greater Portland Landmarks. About 35 neighborhood, business and civic groups have been contacted to set up meetings, Wennerstrom said Friday.
"It's not been adversarial at all. It's been a very healthy dialogue. We're very pleased with the way the meetings have gone," he said. "There's a great deal of interest in the developing the square in a way we can all be proud of."
But one group apparently left off the invitation list is the project's outspoken opponent, a group of about 20 neighborhood residents, the Friends of Congress Square Park.
Nor has the group contacted Wennerstrom.
"We didn't anticipate anything but antagonism would happen," said Grant Street resident Frank Turek, spokesman for the Friends. He said they have gathered 1,000 signatures in a petition opposing the project.
"We're steady in our belief that (the space) should remain a park in its entirety, and we were quite surprised that (the hotel owners) didn't scale it back much," Turek said. "I think they're using this as a PR campaign. They're not really interested in changing the design they have."
He said the Friends have not been contacted by Wennerstrom, and Wennerstrom was not aware whether an invitation had been extended to the group.
"But if Frank would like to talk, we'd be happy to meet," Wennerstrom said Tuesday.
He noted that Turek and he will both be presenting at a meeting of the Parkside Neighborhood Association on Thursday evening. Emma Holder, president of the association, confirmed that both Wennerstrom and Turek are on the agenda.
Wennerstrom will also be making his case for the new plan to the West End Neighborhood Association on Wednesday night. He'll be joined at the group's meeting by a Friends representative, probably former state Rep. Herb Adams, WENA President Rosanne Graef said.
The presentations will be "not a debate, but a chance for our membership to see the proposals and hear some pros and cons," Graef said in an email.
Meetings will continue through May 28, according to the city. While Wennerstrom is serving as the point person for much of the public feedback, the city will hear more input at the end of the month.
On May 22, the Congress Square Redesign Study Group, a council-appointed task force that has been exploring improvements to the area for several years, will meet to weigh in on the proposal.
And on May 29, the Housing and Community Development Committee reconvenes to receive additional public comment. The committee may then vote on a recommendation to the council.
"For a topic that's been in the works for four-plus years, it's suddenly on a very compressed time-line," Graef said.

d. Irwin Allen (1957)
We'll start with an announcement: this is the fortieth film I have reviewed on this blog to date, and the first ever to be in colour. Well, I thought it was interesting.
When I first saw this film at the age of about five or six, it made an indelible impression on me and, for years, I thought it the most incredible epic ever made. Ah, the illusions of youth. Watching it now, this crazy canter through history is clearly cobbled together, with new material filmed on a series of tiny indoor sets heavily supplemented by lots of clips taken from other, much more expensive, films.
The premise is that mankind has developed a 'super H bomb' around sixty years earlier than expected, so The Supreme Court of Outer Space (yes, that's a thing) holds a tribunal on a piece of mist shrouded celestial wasteland to ascertain whether mankind is capable of holding such power, or whether they should be encouraged to simply detonate this doomsday weapon, thereby extinguishing human life once and for all.
On the side of man: Ronald Colman, distinguished in his London Fog overcoat, tweed hat and silver sliver of facial hair. The prosecuting counsel is Mr. Scratch, the Devil himself, played suavely and convincingly by the superlative Vincent Price in a morning coat and a pair of red silk gloves*. The trial consists of Colman saying how wonderful humans are, and Price saying how terrible they are. Sometimes this is done in reverse order. We see the whole history of the world played out in a semi ironic, high camp series of vignettes starring a variety of ageing stars: the forty something Hedy Lamarr plays the teenage Joan of Arc, for instance; an ancient looking Peter Lorre is the twenty something Nero. As you might expect, Harpo Marx is Isaac Newton**.
Ultimately, the tribunal fails to come to a decision: mankind is as good as it is evil; as noble as it is savage. A pretty fair assessment, really. The court is adjourned and scheduled to reconvene at a later date when, according to Judge Cedric Hardwicke as he glares down the barrel of the camera at the audience, the verdict will be 'UP TO YOU', i.e. stop messing about with nuclear bombs, you jumped up tools.
* Price is accompanied by his 'apprentice', Nick Cravat: acrobat, mime, circus colleague and film co-star of Burt Lancaster, as well as the nimble fellow in the furry suit on the wing of the plane in the incredible Twilight Zone episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.
** Chico and Groucho also have roles, as a Monk and Peter Minuit, respectively. Astoundingly, it didn't occur to anyone on the production to put them in a scene together, which really is a crime against the Universe.

Before the lesson:
Buy cheap wine glasses. Knock the base off them by tapping the stem just above the base with a metal file or other long, heavy object. Sand down the sharp edges.
Alternatively, use an intact wine glass, but be careful about breakages in the classroom.
Hand out wine glass base lenses, and optionally, other cut glass objects that bend light into interesting patterns.
Hand out paper with printed geometric designs (attachment), and coloured markers for students to make their own designs.
Ask students to move the lenses over the designs and notice how the lenses bend images.
Challenge them to specifically make a circle from a dot. If they need help: slide the wine glass base over the dot until the stem is directly above it, when the dot changes to an arc then a circle.
The wine glass base models how gravitational lensing works. When the wine glass lens is run over a dot, the light from the dot is bent by the lens, so our eyes above the wine class see a circle.
In the same way, astronomers use their telescopes to look for rings of light to discover dense masses in the universe, which can bend light around them. When light from a far away galaxy passes through a nearer black hole or cluster of galaxies, their immense gravity bends the light around them, so that the light that reaches our telescopes appears as an arc, or even a circle.
Try these webpages for images of gravitational lensing of light around black holes or galaxies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_ring http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/blogs/6a00d8341bf67c53ef01630128de99970d-80...
Gravitational lensing images provide information on several astronomical phenomena:
They can be used to map where black holes are.
They can be used to map the dark matter in the universe, which cannot be seen but has enough mass to bend light.
Dark energy existence has been supported by gravitational lensing images.
Cosmic microwave background radiation is also bent by gravitational lensing, so is studied this way.
Galaxy clusters can be weighed with from gravitational lensing images, as the amount of lensing depends on the mass.
Early universe galaxies can be seen and studied with gravitational lensing, which magnifies light images (lensing arc image).

Just picked up this sweet looking little book here for mere POCKET CHANGE on amazon.com
Kubrick, New and Expanded Edition: Inside a Film Artist's Maze
A comprehensive study of the films of Stanley Kubrick.
Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the "aesthetics of contingency."
After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining.
For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director's death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into—and out of—Stanley Kubrick's cinematic maze.
I hardly fucking read anymore, but recently was going through a bit of Kubrick reeducation of sorts. I came across this while looking up stuff, and thought it looked very interesting. For three bucks, how could I go wrong?

Do you have a master plan? Having one lets you focus and accomplish more. A master plan is a room by room list of ALL you want done in that room. You try to get as much done or as much as you can afford done in that room during a month. Then the next month you move onto another room and list of projects.
I keep my list on my computer and strikeout each item as it is finished. This way I can see my progress. I think I accomplish more because I don't have to think about what I want to do on a weekend. I have a list of items to choose from, some big and some small. I can see all the items to do and set some priorities.That list helps me focus because I'm not thinking about the entire condo's work that needs to be done, just one room, so I don't feel overwhelmed. Having big and small tasks let me choose what I want to do based on my mood, energy level and budget. Having the Master Plan helps me budget for items coming up for the next month.
To keep me on track I have my Master Decorating Plan (which is updated as I think of new things) and a 2010 schedule which shows each room per month. On the 2010 schedule I also have one sewing project (outside any on the master decorating list, so like a quilting project) and one "extra" project (such as selling an item on Craig's List or working on a new plant bed).
The goal isn't to get everything done on the list (although that would be spectacular, but very improbable at least for me). The goal is to keep plugging away on a room at a time, accomplishing what you can. Life gets in the way some months and very little gets accomplished, except maybe the small things. But some is better than none. By the time you get around to the room again, you will probably have an updated Master Decorating Plan and new tasks to complete. Because if you are like me, your decorating plan is evolving all the time.
Do you have a Master Plan for your decorating ideas or are they worked on as they are thought of?

Jay Z rarely does interviews anymore, save for Oprah or Warren Buffett. However, back in the day, he was down for anything. In 1997, 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell (aka "Uncle Luke") interviewed the rapper while two women were actually having sex right next to him. Seriously.
The shocking NSFW interview was shot for 'Luke's FreakShow.' Uncle Luke asks Hov about his music and upcoming projects while two ladies engage in oral sex just inches away from the two entertainers (the photo above shows that scene from the X-rated video minus the naked women). The usually poised Jigga is distracted, especially when the women are so involved in their sexual activity that they bump into him while he talks to Luke, who casually sips away from a Hennessy bottle.
The clip can be found over on Reddit. Users on the entertainment site took guesses on how this awkward interview went down. "They said something about it being a peep show. They were probably at a strip club and Jay was told he couldn't touch the girls. That would be my guess why his arms are crossed the whole time," assumed one fan. "This video makes me crack up every time i watch it," wrote another.
The Internet wins again.

A patched-up plan to shock Europe's zombie carbon markets back to life will pass a plenary vote at the European Parliament on Wednesday (3 July), but this will only "buy time" for more fundamental reform, says the chairman of the Parliament's environment committee.
"The indications are that we will win," said German MEP Matthias Groote (Socialists and Democrats). "The proposal will be going through."
"But backloading is only an instrument to buy the necessary time to maintain the Emissions Trading System (ETS) as we need structural reform," he added. "If the carbon price falls below €3 a tonne, it will have no more effect."
The EU's original proposal to 'backload' or temporarily withhold 900-million carbon allowances in a bid to raise prices, was defeated in a European Parliament plenary vote in April.
>> Read: Backloading amendment to return for 'second round'
Since then, MEPs from the centre-right EPP, liberal ALDE and the S&D groups have thrashed out a series of compromises to soften the plan's impact on heavy industrial users of energy such as the steel or chemicals sector. These include:
- Diverting two-thirds of the money raised into an innovation fund for energy-intensive industries;
- Ensuring that allowances could only be backloaded if the Commission determines that this will not cause 'carbon leakage' or relocations abroad;
- Forcing all allowances withheld in 2014 to be reintroduced to the market in 2015.
Groote insisted that the proposal would still raise carbon prices – though "not dramatically" – and denied that the heavy industry fund was a fossil fuel subsidy in disguise.
"It is a compromise," he said. "I am in favour of set-asides [the permanent deletion of excess allowances] and [the proposal] is not 100% my wish, but we need a majority."
The carbon leakage measure could be voted on separately, he added.
If the proposal was passed, negotiations between the European Council, Commission and Parliament could begin after – or during – the summer break, Groote said. If it was defeated this time, "then it is dead," he added.
Yesterday (1 July), 41 major businesses endorsed a pro-backloading statement made by 12 EU ministers in the Financial Times newspaper.
A separate report by the environmental group Sandbag recently found that, because of over-allocation of allowances, the ETS will now drive 'less than zero abatement' from 2008-2020 and threatens to cancel out nearly 700 million tonnes of carbon abatement delivered by other EU climate policies.
With a turnover that reached around €90 billion in 2010, the EU's Emissions Trading System is the world's largest carbon market. Around 80% of it is traded in futures markets and 20% in spot markets.
The ETS aims to encourage companies to invest in low-polluting technologies by allocating or selling them allowances to cover their annual emissions. The most efficient companies can then sell unused allowances or bank them.
The scheme has proved influential. Australia's is due to begin carbon trading in 2015, Thailand and Vietnam have both unveiled plans to launch ETS's, China is due to launch pilot schemes across several provinces this year, and India will ring the bell for trading on an energy efficiency market in 2014. Mexico and Taiwan are also planning to introduce carbon markets.

- 2014: India due to begin energy efficiency trading
- October 2014: Thailand due to launch a voluntary emissions market

The Black Prince: A new film brings the story of Punjab's last king, Maharaja Duleep Singh, to life | Sikh Vogue
- Edited by First Post
- May 06, 2017
On 29 March 1849, the ten-year-old Maharaja of Punjab, Duleep Singh, was ushered into the Shish Mahal, the magnificent mirrored throne room at the centre of the great fort of Lahore.
The boy's father, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, was long dead, and his mother, Rani Jindan, had been forcibly removed some time earlier, and incarcerated in a palace outside the city. Now Duleep Singh found himself surrounded by a group of grave-looking men, wearing red coats and plumed hats, who talked among themselves in an unfamiliar language. In the terrors of the minutes that followed — what he later remembered as the 'crimson day' — the frightened but dignified child finally yielded to months of British pressure. Within minutes, the flag of the Sikh Khalsa was lowered and the British colours run up above the gatehouse of the fort.
The document signed by the ten-year-old maharaja, later known as the Treaty of Lahore, handed over to a private corporation, the East India Company, great swathes of the richest land in India… At the same time, Duleep Singh was induced to hand over to Queen Victoria the single most valuable object not just in Punjab, but arguably in the entire sub-continent: the celebrated Koh-i-Noor, or Mountain of Light.'
In their telling of the sweeping story of the 'most infamous diamond in the world' (published by Juggernaut Books in December 2016), William Dalrymple and Anita Anand recounted the moment that the Koh-i-Noor passed out of Indian hands into English ones. While nearly every royal owner of the diamond seems to have attracted more than their fair share of misfortune, ill luck, illness, and death, the story of Maharaja Duleep Singh — the last king of Punjab, and the Koh-i-Noor's last Indian owner, seems particularly poignant.
Unlike some of the gem's previous owners, Duleep Singh was neither maimed, nor tortured, nor even killed. But in his lifetime, he experienced a tremendous amount of loss.
The loss of his family, the loss of his throne (which he ascended at the age of five, after the previous claimants, including his half-brothers, died under mysterious circumstances), the loss of his kingdom and the loss of his famed possession the Koh-i-Noor (signed away as part of the Lahore Treaty), the loss of his home country and everything familiar — and all this, before he turned 15.
With his mother, the Rani Jindan, banished into exile, Duleep Singh was raised by his British guardian Dr Login. At the age of 15, he was sent to England, where he became a great favourite of Queen Victoria and later converted to Christianity. He was a star at court, labelled 'The Black Prince of Perthshire' — although, more than a decade later, that narrative began to unravel. After many attempts, Duleep Singh was finally reunited with his mother, rediscovered his Sikh faith, started questioning how the British had taken away what was rightfully his, and demanded recompensation.
By the time he died — penniless and alone — in Paris, in 1893, Duleep Singh had gone from being touted as an Imperial success story to a rebellious thorn in the side of the British. His remains were interred in Britain, something he had reportedly expressed his opposition to, during his lifetime.
Such a tragic story lends itself to re-tellings, and Maharaja Duleep Singh's life has inspired many. (Apart from the Koh-i-Noor book), Anita Anand chronicled his daughter, the Princess Sophia's journey; The Singh Twins (Amrit and Rabindra) painted a portrait of the 'Black Prince' that attempted to redress some of the Imperial 'co-opting' of his narrative; a biopic — Maharaja Duleep Singh: A Monument Of Injustice — was made in 2007.
And now, a new film — written and directed by Kavi Raz, and produced by Brillstein Entertainment — is also offering a fresh look at Duleep Singh's life, as also his legacy.
Titled The Black Prince, Raz's film traces how the Maharaja was torn between two cultures; comprehensively detailing his early life, his struggle to reconnect with his past and faith, and also, in later years, his valiant fight to free his people and raise the voice of India's Independence.
Raz answered a few questions for Firstpost, about The Black Prince:
What about the story of Maharaja Duleep Singh, as writer and filmmaker, did you find most compelling?
The story of Maharajah Duleep Singh is relevant today as it was 150 years ago. At its core, this is the story of a man trying to find himself, reconnect with his true identity and faith. As the world is becoming more and more divisive so are factions within our society looking for their own identity.
The Sikh nation is good example of that. They want to remain true to who they are and not be overwhelmed by larger factors surrounding their existence. Maharajah Duleep Singh's story is also a reminder of Kingdom of Punjab, Khalsa Raj. It was glorious period in the history of Punjab. For me as a filmmaker, therefore, it was important to tell the story.
What were the challenges of bringing this story to the big screen?
We wanted to tell the story that represented that period in history and we also wanted to tell… the truth. Not just the history that we have been taught from a one-sided perspective. Duleep Singh has been the most misunderstood and misrepresented figures of Sikh history. We wanted to get to the truth to dispel the many notions that surround his story. Also the vast expanse of his life presented a challenge to us in terms of what story to tell. We wanted to be comprehensive in representing his life, that was a challenge that we met creatively and with the great deal of passion.
Among the cast of The Black Prince are the poet-singer Satinder Sartaaj and veteran actress Shabana Azmi. What was it like working with them, and what did they bring to their portrayals of Maharaja Duleep Singh and Rani Jindan, respectively?
The dynamics of working with these two individuals represented a huge contrast. Satinder Sartaaj appearing in his first film, tackling a very complex character, brought his raw energy and tremendous intelligence to the set. He was a perfect newcomer for me to work with and mould into the character of Maharaja Duleep Singh… On the other hand, Shabana Azmi essaying the role of Maharani Jindan brought with her, her tremendous experience, monumental talent and iconic presence. Being an actor myself, with her I was able to relate at a very different level and draw out perhaps one of the finest performances of our careers, a performance we are all proud of and has been winning accolades everywhere.
What were the source materials you relied on when writing the script for The Black Prince?
The producer of the film has done very detailed research on the subject for that period. His research shattered many myths, corrected many historical misconceptions and enlightened me, presenting new facts. For example, it is widely believed that Duleep Singh died as a Christian. However, our research strongly supports that he indeed died as a Sikh. Another thing we discovered was that he raised a voice for India's Independence and set out to align forces across the subcontinent to fight against the British. You will see this in the film.
To you, what are the most interesting/tragic aspects of Maharaja Duleep Singh's life?
The tragedy of his life can be measured at two levels. If you look at the physical aspect, he was a king of the richest and most powerful kingdom and yet he died, lonely and penniless. If you look at the spiritual aspect of his life, no matter how hard the English tried to mold him, change him, squash his faith he embraced Sikhism and breathed his last uttering the words of his Guru, a free and a wealthy man… Chronologically speaking, the voice of India's Independence raised by Maharaja Duleep Singh was then embraced by the mostly Sikh-led Gadar Movement and followed by the Babbar Akali movement, leading up to India's Independence.
The debate around the reparation of the Koh-i-Noor to India has reared its head again. What are your thoughts on the issue?
The Koh-i-Noor diamond was the personal property of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Our in-depth research shows that he had bought this diamond from Shah Suja. Further, our film shows that the diamond was not gifted to Queen Victoria, but was rather deceptively taken from the young Maharaja Duleep Singh.
The Black Prince releases worldwide on 21 July 2017, and will be screened in India in English, Punjabi and Hindi. Will it illuminate new chapters from Maharaja Duleep Singh's life?

After seeing the kites, we walked back to the bus to go back to the station area.
We saw these people dancing on the way back to the bus.
Once we got back to the station, we saw many parade floats.
The floats had very detailed wood carvings on them.
Another of the floats.
One of the float attendants stopped me and had me put on these clothes for a picture.
They also gave me this cutely folded handkerchief!
After seeing the floats, we went up in the tower to see the city from up high!
We even got to see the shinkansen from above.
Later on, we found a good spot and waited for the parade to start.
Teddy bought us some delicious pizza from a truck.
The floats at night.
Another shot of the floats.
There was a float for every neighborhood. We didn't stay to see them all, though.
Some girls sitting inside one of the floats.
One last float. After this, we RAN to the station to catch our train home. 😀

R-22 Phase out
On 01/01/2015 The amount of R-22 will drop another 20%.
At the same time R-22 Condensers will no longer be made
R-22 Phase Out
HCFC-22 is also referred to as R-22. It is a popular refrigerant that is commonly used in a variety of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, including:
On January 21, 2003, EPA promulgated regulations (68 FR 2820, January 21, 2003, "2003-2009 Rule") to ensure compliance with the first reduction milestone in the HCFC phaseout: The requirement that by January 1, 2004, the United States reduce HCFC consumption to 65 percent of baseline and freeze HCFC production. In the 2003-2009 Rule, EPA established chemical-specific consumption and production baselines for HCFC-141b, HCFC-22, and HCFC-142b for the initial regulatory period ending December 31, 2009. Section 601(2) states that EPA may select "a representative calendar year" to serve as the company baseline for HCFCs. In the 2003-2009 Rule, EPA concluded that because the entities eligible for allowances had differing production and import histories, no single year was representative for all companies. Therefore, EPA assigned an individual consumption baseline year to each company by selecting its highest ODP-weighted consumption year from 1994 through 1997. EPA assigned individual production baseline years in the same manner. EPA also provided for new entrants that began importing after 1997 but before April 5, 1999, the date the advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) was published. EPA took this action to ensure that small businesses that might not have been aware of the impending rulemaking would be able to continue in the HCFC market.
In the United States, an allowance is the unit of measure that controls production and consumption of ODS. EPA allocates calendar-year allowances equal to a percentage of the baseline—they are valid from January 1 to December 31 of that control period. A calendar-year allowance represents the privilege granted to a company to produce or import one kilogram (not ODP-weighted) of the specific substance. "Production allowance" and "consumption allowance" are defined at 40 CFR 82.3. To produce an HCFC for which EPA has issued allowances, an allowance holder must expend both production and consumption allowances. To import an HCFC for which EPA has issued allowances, an allowance holder must expend only consumption allowances. An allowance holder exporting HCFCs for which it has expended consumption allowances may request a refund of those consumption allowances by submitting proper documentation and receiving approval from EPA.
The 2003-2009 Rule set production and consumption baselines for the 2003-2009 regulatory period, using each company's highest "production year" or "consumption year." The 2003-2009 Rule prohibited production and import of those HCFCs that were subject to the allowance system without the appropriate allowances (40 CFR 82.15(a),(b)). EPA set the maximum production and consumption of each HCFC by issuing allowances that are valid for a single calendar year, equal to a certain percentage of each company's baseline. [3] It completely phased out the production and import of HCFC-141b by granting zero percent of baseline for production and consumption in the table at 40 CFR 82.16. EPA created a petition process to allow applicants to request small amounts of HCFC-141b beyond the phaseout. For production and consumption of HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b in 2003 through 2009, EPA allocated allowances at 100 percent of baseline. The complete phaseout of HCFC-141b, the allocations for HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b, combined with projections for consumption of all other HCFCs, remained below the 2004 cap of 65 percent of the United States baseline.
Since EPA is implementing the phaseout on a chemical-by-chemical basis, it allocates and tracks production and consumption allowances on a kilogram basis for each chemical. Upon EPA approval, an allowance holder may transfer calendar-year allowances of one type of HCFC for calendar-year allowances of another type of HCFC, with transactions weighted according to the ODP of the chemicals involved. Pursuant to section 607 of the CAA, EPA applies an offset to each HCFC transfer by deducting 0.1 percent from the transferor's allowance balance. The offset benefits the ozone layer since it "results in greater total reductions in the production in each year of * * * class II substances than would occur in that year in the absence of such transactions" (see CAA section 607(a)).
The 2003-2009 Rule announced that EPA would allocate allowances for the 2010-2014 regulatory period in a subsequent action and that those allowances would be lower than for 2003-2009, consistent with the next stepwise reduction for HCFCs under the Montreal Protocol. EPA subsequently monitored the market to estimate servicing needs and market adjustments in the use of HCFCs, including HCFCs for which EPA had not established baselines in the 2003-2009 Rule. In the 2010-2014 Rule (74 FR 66412, December 15, 2009), EPA issued production and import allowances for HCFC-22, HCFC-142b, and other HCFCs not previously included in the allowance system, for the 2010-2014 control periods.
In the 2010-2014 Rule, EPA estimated the need for HCFC-22 during the 2010-2014 regulatory period and the percentage of that need for which it was appropriate to allocate allowances. EPA decided that the percentage of the estimated need allocated in the form of allowances should not remain constant from year to year, but rather should decline on an annual basis. For 2010, EPA allocated HCFC-22 allowances equal to 80 percent of the estimated need, concluding that reused, recycled, and reclaimed material could meet the remaining 20 percent. The percentage of estimated need for which there was no allocation, and that would therefore need to be met through recycling and reclamation, rose from 20 percent in 2010 to 29 percent in 2014. The intent of this approach was to foster reclamation and to ensure that the United States could meet the 2015 stepdown under the Montreal Protocol.
However, part of the 2010-2014 Rule was vacated in an August 27, 2010, decision issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (Court) in Arkema v. EPA (618 F.3d 1, D.C. Cir. 2010). Certain allowance holders affected by the 2010-2014 Rule contended that the rule was impermissibly retroactive because in setting the baselines for the new regulatory period, EPA did not take into account certain inter-pollutant baseline transfers that petitioners had performed during the prior regulatory period. Accounting for these transfers in the 2010-2014 Rule and applying the same methodology would have resulted in different baselines and calendar-year allowances for HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b.
The Court agreed with petitioners that "the [2010-2014] Final Rule unacceptably alters transactions the EPA approved under the 2003 Rule," (Arkema v. EPA, 618 F.3d at 3). The Court vacated the rule in part, "insofar as it operates retroactively," and remanded to EPA "for prompt resolution," (618 F.3d at 10). EPA's petition for rehearing was denied on January 21, 2011. EPA addressed the Court's partial vacatur as it related to 2011 in an August 5, 2011, interim final rule, "Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import, and Export," (76 FR 47451, August 5, 2011, "2011 Interim Final Rule"). In that rule, EPA established new baselines that (1) credited the 2008 inter-pollutant trades at issue in Arkema v. EPA based on the Court's decision; (2) reflected inter-company, single-pollutant baseline transfers that occurred since the 2010-2014 Rule was signed; (3) allocated HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b allowances for 2011; (4) clarified EPA's policy on all future inter-pollutant transfers; and (5) updated company names. The HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b use restrictions and the allocation for other controlled HCFCs were not affected by the partial vacatur.
To complete its response to the Court's decision, EPA published a final rule with the same name on April 3, 2013, allocating HCFC-142b and HCFC-22 allowances for 2012-2014 (78 FR 20004, "2012-2014 Rule"). That rule reduced HCFC-22 allowances in 2012-2014 by almost 30 percent relative to the 2010-2014 Rule in order to incentivize proper handling and recovery of HCFC-22 and encourage transition to non-ODS alternatives.
On December 24, 2013, EPA published a proposed rule that would issue allowances for HCFC-22, HCFC-142b, HCFC-123, and HCFC-124 for the 2015-2019 regulatory period (78 FR 78071, "2015-2019 Proposed Rule"). Today's action finalizes the HCFC allowance allocations for those years based on the options presented in the 2015-2019 Proposed Rule and comments submitted to EPA. For more information on the history of the HCFC phaseout and applicable rulemakings, see: http://www.epa.gov/ozone/title6/phaseout/classtwo.html.
By starting the phase down at 10,000MT in 2015, EPA is trying to address the concerns about over-supply in existing inventories, while encouraging transition, reclamation, and proper refrigerant management, and sending a signal to industry that allocations will be dropping. The 2015 allocation amount is about 13,000MT less than the 2014 allocation.
The Final Rule also addresses the issue of "Dry-shipped" condensing units that are manufactured for sale as a system replacement part. In the request for comments to this rule, EPA sough quantifiable information on the number of dry-shipped condensing units were being shipped, whether they are being used as a repair instead of a compressor or motor replacement, and whether and to what extent condensing unit replacements extend the life of an existing system. EPA did not receive substantive comments to these questions, but intends to survey a limited number of industry stakeholders to collect additional data.
In the Final Rule, the EPA mentions a pending petition submitted by an industry trade group to extend the Section 608 program rules to HFC refrigerants. In their response to comments filed on this topic (which is outside the scope of this rule), the Final Rule noted, "EPA is actively considering the merits and environmental benefits of this petition under a separate process."

Mauricio Pochettino insisted before yesterday's game that Tottenham were not a one-man team.
"Perhaps I made a mistake," admitted Southampton's Argentine coach after watching another moment of magic from Gareth Bale.
The Welsh Wizard capped an amazing week by firing home the goal that kept Tottenham's Champions League dream alive.
Stop Bale and you stop Spurs. And certainly, for 86 minutes, Saints had frustrated the 23-year-old superstar.
Bale has cleaned up on the awards front, this week adding the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year accolade to his PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year gongs. But he was virtually anonymous until, with four minutes to go, he unleashed a 25-yard screamer that gave Southampton keeper Artur Boruc no chance.
It was his 20th goal in 30 league appearances – and keeps a top-four finish in Spurs' own hands.
"It was a great moment of individual brilliance," said boss Andre Villas-Boas. "In that split-second that Southampton gave him space, he scored a great goal. He is in outstanding form at the moment."
Pochettino agreed. "One special moment and all our great work went out the window," he reflected.
This was Bale's 200th appearance in Spurs colours, against the club where he began his career, and – if truth be told – it wasn't one of his finest displays.
He started off in the hole behind Jermain Defoe, and hardly got a look in. In the second half he switched to a wide position, his more favoured role. But it was only when he moved to the right flank that Bale started to look dangerous.
The kick-off was delayed for half-an-hour due to congestion on the M25, but the delay in Spurs getting into their stride lasted far longer.
Apart from Defoe hitting the side-netting after drifting past Nathaniel Clyne, they failed to create any real chances of note until Bale struck.
AVB's boys looked jittery and out-of-sorts and were lucky not to be a goal behind at the interval.
Rickie Lambert's lob split the home defence wide open allowing Clyne to burst through for a one-on-one with Hugo Lloris – but the full- back's volley shaved a post.
Then Lloris pulled off a magnificent save from Lambert, spectacularly tipping the striker's 20-yard free-kick on to a post and away to safety.
France keeper Lloris has cemented his place in Villas-Boas' side after initially sitting on the sidelines following his move to White Hart Lane from Lyon last summer – and that moment of brilliance, somewhat overshadowed by Bale's goal but equally important – showed why.
Southampton should still avoid relegation if they win one more game. If they play like this next season, they could finish in the top 10.
Pochettino believed, quite rightly, that the better team lost. "We played a really good game," he said. "We were superior in many phases of the game, especially the first half.
"But we needed to convert our chances.
"Tottenham have a player who can do this. Bale is one of the top 10 players in the world. He could play for any team in the world."
Spurs fans will be desperately hoping he will stay at the Lane. Many clubs will try to prise him away in the summer, although AVB insists he is going nowhere.
The manager, just like the supporters – and, belatedly, Pochettino – know that without him, the club would have had no chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

Autonomy (news, site) has just closed a very good year with the release of its final figures for 2010. While CEO Dr. Mike Lynch might be smiling, those of us in the media waiting for an announcement on Autonomy's acquisition target are slightly less happy -- Lynch indicated that there would be delay in the deal because of changes at the target company.
In fairness, Autonomy had released a statement at the end of November, which indicated that there would be delays in the deal. At least we know from this statement that it is progressing, that the problem is not with Autonomy but with the target company, which always leaves the prospect of an alternative target being identified later in the year.
IDOL and Autonomy's Revenue
That's all speculation though. What is not speculation is success of not just its IDOL search technology, but maybe a little bit more surprising is that it is the cloud IDOL technology and its IDOL OEMs that have really pushed Autonomy's figures in 2010.
Overall, end of year profits jumped 17%, up from US$ 323m in 2009. Sales were also up by 18% from US$ 740m in 2009. In a statement issued by Lynch with the release of the annual figures he said:
This year we have seen Autonomy become one of the leading players in cloud computing as our customers, who can choose to take up our core functionality by traditional licence, IDOL OEM or IDOL Cloud offering, have transitioned to the private cloud model faster than expected.
OEM and the Cloud
And looking further into 2011, it looks like Autonomy will be focusing considerable energies into exploiting those cloud and OEM deals as they have indicated that in many cases one-off sales have been turning into very profitable multi-year revenue streams. Broken down into their individual components, the streams look like this:
IDOL Cloud
IDOL Cloud offers IDOL capabilities on a SaaS basis invoiced monthly. This means that the figures from this are revenue that the company has already received. In 2010, IDOL Cloud revenue totaled US$ 190 million and the "commit" number rose to approximately $370 million, up from US$ 347 million in Q3 2010. In Q4 2010 IDOL Cloud revenue totaled US$ 51 million, representing 21% of revenues.
IDOL OEM is where Autonomy's IDOL is embedded inside other software companies' products. In 2010 IDOL OEM revenue totaled US$ 132 million, up 32% from 2009. In Q4 2010 IDOL OEM revenue totaled US$ 34 million (Q4 2009: $27 million) representing 14% of revenues. 42 new agreements were signed during 2010 with 10 new agreements signed during Q4 2010, including deals with Nuance, Xerox and Cisco. Growth in this area jumped to 32% during 2010.
Financial Highlights
Other noteworthy figures that bode well for the coming year include:
- 57% of sales came from existing customers extending IDOL investment
- Strong growth in the IDOL Cloud business, Q4 2010 up 12% year-on-year
- Revenues at Idol OEM rose 32 per cent
- Average Selling Price for IDOL technology rises to US$ 790,000 during FY 2010 and 94 deals in excess of US$ 1 million signed
- US$ 115 million invested in R&D resulting in new product offerings to the Healthcare sector
- Sales software grew by 12 percent in Q4, up from 10 percent in Q3
Autonomy also extended its international reach with the opening of new offices in Latin America, and investment in the infrastructure for this cloud capability which now handles over 17 petabytes of information in the cloud.
A good year overall that corresponds with results across the enterprise IT space. All we need now is news on the acquisition. When we know, you'll know.

Jeffry and Alyssa disappeared for several hours to attend our friend's birthday party while I stayed home with a migraine and a cramped neck. Apparently, I pinched a nerve at some point this week. I couldn't move my head to either side so I sat myself in front of the computer to attend a Facebook party and work on reviews while they were gone. The pain has been off and on all week with the same symptoms. I may have to schedule a doctor's visit if it doesn't change soon. Happy birthday Lacey - sorry I missed it!
|Lacey and Alyssa at Mamacitas
Jeff and Alyssa came home late that evening. We decided to snuggle on the couch to watch a movie even though we should have all gone to bed. Of course . . . I forgot to take photos of us watching the movie because I was trying to relax and spend quality time with my family. I also didn't take pictures of her evening chores or bedtime routine. It looks the same as morning except we have story time.

Todays topic: Novellas Vs. Anthologies
My Answer: Personally I have never gotten into short stories, I usually think they feel rushed or left unfinished. That said this is a hard choice for me! I would probably choose Anthologies because at least if I like the story matter I have a full book of the genre I like! :) In truth I haven't really read a whole lot of this type of book so maybe I secretly love novellas and anthologies, the last anthology I read was really good... so maybe I need to give more a try!

Going On Thirty
This weekend marks my 30th year of life. Three whole decades of the same heart beating and brain learning and hands doing. A third of a century of learning to be... just me. And it's hard to learn how to be oneself, because in truth, no one else has ever been you before.
Thirty scares a lot of women. There is something dreaded about no longer being lumped into the "twenty-something" category that makes them feel old and irrelevent. But can I tell you something? I'm really excited about my thirties. I'm looking forward to the confidence that comes with three decades of mistakes and misconceptions about myself and life in general. I'm counting on that wisdom to carry me through the next chapter of marriage and parenting and continuing to learn and grow.
You see, I wasted many years trying to be who I thought the world wanted me to be- the internet, my friends and family, the church, even my husband- and after thirty years, I feel as though I've finally begun to settle into my own skin. I'm finally comfortable within the walls of my own mind, and I'm confident with the version of myself that I put out there for the world. I like myself. I always have been and always will be a little bit curvy, and praise the Lord. I'm messy and a bit neurotic and easily bored and hopelessly romantic. Words and affirmation are my love language, but only if followed up by deeds. I am chronically early, and always middle of the road when it comes to political decisions. I don't like talking theology, I like talking Jesus. I don't want hot coffee, I want it iced with cream. I will not, will not, WILL NOT forward chain letters. I love good acoustic music, and I can't for the life of me keep my car clean. I watch cheesy movies and trashy tv shows, and I don't always enjoy mothering in the moment, but I give myself heaps and heaps of grace... but I don't always remember to give it to others.
I continue to work on my weaknesses everyday.
And I'm pretty damn cool, if I do say so.
So bring it on, thirty.

A new study reveals how a dentist could give you an anesthetic using a tiny electric current instead of a needle. The study was published in Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces and reveals how a dentist could give you anesthetic using a tiny electric current instead of a needle. The researchers from the study are from the University of São Paulo and believe their findings could help improve dental procedures and bring relief to millions of people who are scared of needles.
Dentists commonly currently use anesthetics that block pain administered using needles. Many patients are afraid of these injections, and this can result in them postponing and canceling visits to the dentist. For patients who do not like needles, dentists can give them a topical painkiller to reduce their pain and fear. This can come in the form of a hydrogel which can contain lidocaine and prilocaine.
In the study, the researchers explored a way of getting topical anesthetics into the body more effectively. They found that applying a tiny electric current known as iontophoresis, made the anesthetics more effective. The researchers first prepared the anesthetic hydrogels with a polymer to aid in it sticking to the lining of the mouth. They added two anesthetic drugs, prilocaine hydrochloride (PCL) and lidocaine hydrochloride (LCL).
The anesthesia was found to be fast and long lasting. The electric current made the prilocaine hydrochloride enter the body more effectively and the permeation of the anesthetic through the mouth lining increased by a factor of twelve.
The researchers intend to develop an iontophoretic device to use in the mouth and hope to conduct preclinical trials with the system.
