Treatment effective in limb preservation, study reveals
A new approach to wound care may lead to fewer amputations.
A new study shows human acellular dermal wound matrix can be used as an effective limb preservation strategy for patients with chronic, complex wounds and multiple comorbidities.
The study, which was published in June in the Journal of Wound Care, monitored 13 patients with lower extremity ulcers and multiple comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus and peripheral vascular disease.
The patients had an average of three comorbidities, although six of the patients had more than four, wrote lead author Marie Williams, D.P.M, of Florida's Aventura Hospital.
"Rising prevalence of obesity and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has resulted in an increasing number of patients with multiple comorbidities who require treatment for chronic complex wounds," Williams wrote.
The patients ranged in age from 38 to 90 years old, with a median age of 76. Their wounds were debrided to create a bleeding bone or wound base for the human acellular dermal wound matrix. Antibiotics were also prescribed to the patients as needed.
After a four-week monitoring process, all of the patients' wounds healed without complications. Two patients had been originally advised to receive major leg amputations. After receiving treatment with the human acellular dermal wound matrix both were able to retain functional limbs.

Eat24, a food-delivery app that serves hundreds of cities in the US, is celebrating Thursday's Republican debate with an offer that's too good to refuse.
Every time Donald Trump says "Mexico," Eat24 will post a coupon code on Twitter for $5 off your order of $10 or more.
To be clear, you can use only one coupon for every order of $10-plus, and you'll need to sign up with Eat24 to use these codes.
Also, you also don't have to order tacos. You can buy something else with your coupon, like pizza.
"We believe in freedom of the belly, so it's totally up to you," Eat24 said in a blog post.
The folks at Eat24 say they chose this promotion because they learned "Donald Trump really likes to talk about Mexico." Of course, if you remember, Trump made several derogatory remarks about Mexico while announcing his candidacy for president back in June.
He said: "They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing their problems. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we are getting."
Every Eat24 coupon code posted Thursday night will expire just one minute before midnight.

Positive data for Eylea in branch form of occlusion
The biotech, which said it intends to submit a regulatory application for marketing approval for a possible BRVO indication in the US within the next several months, added that the Phase III trial was the eighth positive one for Eylea.
Regeneron was already prepping an NDA submission for diabetic macula edema (DME), while its European marketing partner, Bayer, is on track to do the same abroad. Roche's wet AMD drug Lucentis already has DME on its label.
As FiercePharma pointed out, Eylea's two existing indications—wet AMD and for macular edema following central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO)—generated US revenue of $643.7 million in the first half of this year, with some of that going to ex-US marketing partner Bayer.

Crazy About Crewnecks
A crewneck is a close-fitting, round neck that often appears on T-shirts and sweaters. The high collar makes this style perfect for those chilly days when all you want to do is bundle up. Women's crewneck tops are also great for layering. Put one underneath a V-neck sweater or cardigan to get extra warmth and a stylish look.
The crewneck style has always been a popular choice among men, but women also appreciate this type of garment. It is modest and easy to wear. Plus, the high collar makes it easy to wear with a bold necklace and other eye-catching accessories, such as bright handbags and dazzling earrings.
How to Wear Crewneck Sweaters
The best way to determine how and when to wear crewneck sweaters is to consider your wardrobe's inventory. Different sweaters fit different occasions.
Many high-end crewneck sweaters from brands like Michael Kors and H&M sport some embellishment. The extra pizzazz might come in the form of zippers or buttons along the shoulder. There may also be tasteful embroidery, a cable knit pattern, or other touches that give the sweater a personality of its own. Pair these with a nice pair of jeans or your work slacks. Top off the look with your favorite pair of metallic earrings. If you're heading to the office, try to aim for a fitted crewneck sweater, which will give a professional image and flattering silhouette.
Some crewneck sweaters come as cardigans, which makes them ideal as a layering piece. Change the look into a V-neck by leaving a few buttons undone. Wear a lightweight shell underneath in a contrasting color. Complete the ensemble with some sensible jewelry, and you're ready to head into the office.
Other crewnecks are ideal loungewear for those days when you just want to stay indoors and curl up with a good book. These are often oversized and without a lot of embellishments. Pair them with sweatpants or yoga pants and settle in for a day of cozy relaxation.
Shopping for Crewneck Sweaters
Many top retailers sell crewneck sweaters from your favorite brands. However, shopping for brand new items can quickly become expensive. Instead of hitting the mall, head to thredUP. You'll find amazing pieces from name brands at prices that are up to 90% off regular retail. You'll find crewneck sweaters and everything you need to build appealing outfits around them.
What happens if you purchase something from thredUP and aren't completely in love with it? No worries! Returns are free. We want you to be satisfied with your like-new treasures, and we'll be by your side throughout your quest to find the perfect crewneck sweater—or anything else you might be looking for.

May 4, 2018 - YAY we're on our way
Monday 30 April After sorting out refunds on excess on our fobs we headed off for Pozzallo where we (eventually after 4 attempts) anchored off one of the breakwaters. Tuesday 1 – Wednesday 2 May Got up at day break and headed south for Malta. Got a really lovely gentle then brisk sail in and got to St Julian's Bay just after 17:00. There was a couple of motor boats in the bay and one catamaran, which stayed overnight. The bay when we arrived was a little rolly but by the end of the night and all through the early hours the swell was just...Jump to full entry

History: The crossroads of Mediterranean trade and culture, the island of Malta has been shaped by countless civilizations. But it was the knights of St John who built Valletta.

Apr 24, 2018 - Valletta, Malta – Crossroads of the Mediterranean
Mel set the alarm for 6:30 AM to catch sailing into Valletta as coming into the harbor is supposed to be spectacular. Malta did not disappoint. Valletta, the capital of the country of Malta is an ancient walled city, built by the Knights of St John Hospitaller to provide care for the European pilgrims to the holy land. Actually the history of Malta goes way back. Megalithic temples to fertility Goddesses, built before the pyramids in Egypt are found here. Almost every ancient empire has marched across Malta as it lies in the middle of the...Jump to full entry

Monday April 9 and Tuesday 10 Well back to Rome for two nights. Handy rooms near Piazza Navonna - ok but tiny shower. Dreaming Navonna. Lots of walking. Unfortunately the two sights I really wanted to visit -Nero's Golden House and the 6th century church of Santa Maria Antiqua are closed due to damage. The later was only opened to the public in 2016 and Helen and I were lucky to spend just about 20 minutes there in August 2016 before it closed for the day. I had wanted to return ever since.

Mar 10, 2018 - Final Travels
At breakfast we discuss what we want to do for our last full day, and decided that we have not properly seen what the town we are staying in had to offer. We found there was a garden, Independence Garden, at the border of Sliema and the neighbouring resort St Julian's Bay so we set off after breakfast. Found this with ease but it was rather run down in our view, even though it had good Tripadvisor ratings. What it did give was some light relief from the busy coastal road. After leaving the gardens we walked the promenade to have a look at...Jump to full entry
Mar 9, 2018 - A day of failures - nearly
Discussed over breakfast what we would do today. Thought we might try the Hypogeum, some caves & crypts from around 3000BC - no spots available today or tomorrow - failure No. 1 Thought we would go to Floriana. Set off to the bus stop - took 4 buses wait (first 3 all flew past full) - partial failure No. 2 Got to Floriana - nothing of note to see here except the botanical gardens, which were closed - failure No. 3 It is now after 11 so what better than tot go back in Valletta and watch the noon canon firing.

Mar 8, 2018 - Our Furthest Journey yet
After breakfast we set off to catch the bus to the northern most tip of Malta to catch the ferry to the sister island of Gozo. The bus takes us up the eastern side of Malta so acts a a semi island tour. We arrive at the ferry in good time and climb on board. It is a bit like the Severn bridge to Wales in that you get one way free and then pay a return fare the other way. A good sail across the divide, we disembark and catch a bus to the capital of the island, Victoria (so named when she celebrated her golden anniversary on the throne). We...Jump to full entry
Mar 7, 2018 - More adventure
Good nights sleep & down for the customary breakfast to set us up for the day. Catch the bus into Valletta Bus Terminus to change onto the Mdina bus. About 30 minute wait and then set off. Arrive fine and start about our tour of what I understand was the old capital. Like Valletta, a walled city but this time fulfils out hopes and is truly an historic one. Churches, houses etc. all kept to their original form. It is extremely busy here with a lot of tour groups & school trips. We start in St Paul's Cathedral (yes is it, really) and a superb...Jump to full entry
Mar 6, 2018 - The touring begins
Can't deny, a little 'heady' this morning after last night. After breakfast set off to catch the bus to Valletta. There was an accident on the main coast road by the bus stop which made our journey somewhat longer than it should have been, and when we did finally get on a bus we had to stand all the way. Once we arrived at the terminus in Valletta, followed the crowds into this walled city. Set off down the main Street (Republic Street) only to find that virtually every building was a shop. My misguided illusion was very much 'popped' as...Jump to full entry
Mar 5, 2018 - Finding our bearings
Got up at about 8 after a rather goods nights sleep. Went to breakfast, which was more than good I have to say. Followed this by buying our week long bus pass at a news kiosk run by a very helpful Eastender who has moved here permanately. Gave us some extremely great tips and directions for us during our stay. Made our way to the front where all the ferries & trips set off from. Weather pretty good but a little breezy. Had to make our way back to see the rep at the hotel to arrange our return transfer next Sunday. Was a little annoyed this...Jump to full entry
Mar 4, 2018 - The trip commences - just!
Well, we have made it to the hotel despite various events conspiring to kill this trip off before we have even started. These being, the 'Beast from the East' with a mixture of Storm Emma culminating in a Red weather warning with the resultant swirling snow storm for the best part of 48 hours. Bristol Airport has had over 2 days of total shutdown. However, there was the thankful thaw just in the nick of time, but we had already relieved our normal airport run driver of duties which meant we had to do some last minute changes & add the best...Jump to full entry
Oct 6, 2017 - Sea Day
Exfoliate - the act of removing dead skin from your body. What to do on a sea day? Why a nice exfoliating, and hot stone relaxing massage. Not only does the masseuse know how to remove skin from your body but they are well trained in removing money from you wallet as well. I was sucked into buying something I absolutely don't need nor know what to do with. You know what they say, a sucker born every minute.

The George Rogers Clark Heritage Association was an outgrowth of Project 80, which, in conjunction with the American Revolution Bicentennial Committee, organized the 1980 reenactment of the Battle of Piqua. At the time, a triangular fort and blockhouse, modeled after the larger one in the Shawnee village of Peckuwe, were built in George Rogers Clark Park.
After the Bicentennial activities, the association began to focus on the civilian side of the Federal period with the vehicle of choice being a trade fair, the Fair at New Boston.
From its beginning, the Fair at New Boston has brought together the finest character actors, entertainers, merchants, historical food vendors and living history specialists in the region. The illusion of time travel is complete as visitors walk among at least 600 costumed characters in the fictitious town of New Boston, named for a village once located near the site.
Now in its 32th year, the Fair at New Boston has been nationally recognized for its accurate portrayal of the 1790 – 1814 time period. Every year as many as 1300 students attend a free Education Day on the day before the Fair begins.
An all-volunteer, non-profit organization, the George Rogers Clark Heritage Association (GRCHA) has expanded its activities to include Night at the Museum, a spring planting event, classes on period character building, classes on sewing, education talks, school presentations, historical dance instructions and performances, parades and historical dinners.
In 2010 GRCHA assumed operation of the Crabill Homestead, which had been previously operated by the Clark County Historical Society. (See Crabill Homestead story later in this edition of the Gazette.)
GRCHA works with the Clark County Park District to protect and support George Rogers Clark Park, the site of two historical Shawnee villages and the site of the 1780 Battle of Peckuwe, the largest Revolutionary War battle west of the Alleghenies.

Disarikan dari sini –> slightly rephrasing from this wonderful site (for personal purpose)
–> now that I'm half of reading it, that is just such an awesome site. Thanks NTU 🙂
- Why OOP?
– to avoid re-invent the wheels
– to make parts/components reusable
1.1. Traditional Procedural-oriented languages
– not reusable, because function is likely to reference the headers, global variables and other funcs.
– not suitable of high-level abstraction
– separate the data structures and algorithms of the software entities>> hardware faults can be isolated, but software faults could affect other programs running in computers1.2 OOP languages
– basic unit is a class:
>> encapsulates both the static attributes and dynamic behavior within a box
>> specifies the public interface for using these boxes
– well encapsulated, that it is easier to reuse the classes
– OOP combines the data structures (in data members) and algorithms (member functions) of a software entity inside the same box
- OOP Basics
2.1. Classes & Instances
– Class: DEFINITION of objects of the same kind
>> a blueprint/template/prototype
>> defines & describes the static attributes and dynamic behaviors common to all objects of the same kind
– Instance: REALIZATION of a particular item of a class
>> an instantiation of a class
>> all the instances of a class have similar properties (as described in the class definition)
– object: usually instance, but can also be a class (used loosely)2.2. Class: 3-Compartment Box encapsulating Data & Functions
-a class:
>> classname (identifier)
>> class members (data members + member functions)- a class can be visualized as:
>> classname (identifier)
>> data members/variables (attributes, states, fields) –> static attributes of the class
>> member functions (methods, behaviors, operations) –> dynamic operations of the class
– value of data member: class state
– member function: class behavior
– in UML (notation):
>> instanceName:Classname
>> public members, denoted with +
>> private members, denoted with –
– naming convention:
– class: noun or noun phrase, and initial-capitalized, meaningful & self-descriptive
>> e.g., SoccerPlayer, FileInputStream,
– data members (variables) noun or noun phrase, first word is lowercase, the rest are initial-capitalized
>> e.g., fontSize, roomNumber,first word is lowercase, the rest are initial-capitalized, + parentheses
– member functions: verb or verb phrase,
>> e.g., printLine(), getArea()
2.3. Creating Instances of a Class
You need to:
– Declare an instance identifier/name of a particular class
– invoke a constructor to construct the instance
>> allocate storage for the instance and initialize the variables
Construct 3 instances of Circle, named (of the instances) c1, c2, c3, with 3 ways (either specify radius or/and color, or using the default value)
Circle c1(1.2, "red"); Circle c2(3.4); //using default color Circle c3; //using default radius and color
Alternative: invoke the constructor explicitly Circle c1 = Circle(1.2, "red"); Circle c2= Circle(3.4); Circle c3 =Circle();
2.4. Dot operator to reference a member of a object
To reference data or member function of a object, you must:
– using dot operator instanceName.memberName
E.g., to invoke the getArea() function of instance c1:
– c1.getArea()
2.5. An OOP example
Class diagram (class definition vs instances)
class Circle{ private: double radius; string color; public: Circle(double r=1.0, string c="red"){ radius =r ; color =c; } //constructor with default values double getRadius(){ return radius; } ... }
when referring (after instantiation) in the main function
(don't forget to include iostream (for IO function), string (for using string), and using namespace std; )
(and to compile using "g++ -o OutputFileName.exe SourceCode.cpp")
2.6. Constructor
– to initialize all the data members
– has no return statements
– are not inherited
2.7 Default Arguments for functions
– put it in the function header
– e.g.
int sum(int n1, int n2, int n3=0, int n4=0, int n5=0);
int main(){
int sum(int n1, int n2, int n3, int n4, int n5){
return n1+n2+n3+n4+n5;
2.8. Information hiding an encapsulation
– principle of information hiding
>> object communicate w/ each other using well-defined interfaces (public functions)
>> implementation details are hidden/encapsulated within the class
>> this information hiding facilitates reuse of the class
>> data member of a class are typically hidden from outside world (access control modifier: private)
>> access to private data members are provided via public functions, getters (to read) and/or setters (to modify)

Pawan Jaiswal, a student of Class XII in an English-medium school in Golabari, Howrah, stabbed his classmate and friend, Ajay Sarabhogi, to death on Tuesday. Seventeen-year-old Pawan was, apparently, taking revenge after Ajay had ticked him off in public for teasing their teacher.
Pawan confessed in the face of sustained interrogation, that ended late on Tuesday before he, too, was admitted to hospital for treatment of minor injuries to his hand, sustained while stabbing his classmate.
Tuesday�s murder was a sequel to an incident that occurred on May 10 in front of the school. �Pawan passed some lewd remarks at their teacher and Ajay protested, warning him not to repeat the act,� said Howrah superintendent of police Rajesh Kumar. But Pawan, instead of apologising to their teacher, abused Ajay. �Infuriated, Ajay pounced on Pawan and punched him in the face,� one of the investigating officers said.
For the past couple of weeks, Pawan was waiting to avenge the humiliation. �He (Ajay) beat me up in public and in front of my classmates� I made up my mind to teach him a lesson,� Pawan told interrogators on Tuesday.
The vendetta plan was amateurish, but effective. Pawan went to a hardware shop in the Burrabazar-Brabourne Road area on Tuesday afternoon to buy a knife and an iron rod. He did not return to Howrah till the evening, so that no one would spot him with the weapons.
From around 6.15 pm, Pawan lay in wait near Ajay�s residence in M.C. Ghosh Lane.
�I kept a close eye on the neighbourhood grocery and mithai shops, as I knew he (Ajay) would come out from his house at least once in the evening,� Pawan told the police.
A while later, Ajay came out to buy samosas from the sweet shop nearby. Pawan waited for Ajay to return � �the packet in his hands would make him an easier target�, Pawan later told policemen. As Ajay entered the lane in front of his house, his friend pounced on him.
The iron rod was the first to hit Ajay�s head. Then, the knife followed, repeatedly ripping Ajay�s stomach. Pawan, too, was bleeding from a gash in his hand, not used to handling a knife.
Bystanders rushed towards the two and separated them. But it was too late. Ajay was rushed to SSKM Hospital and Pawan was handed over to the police, who admitted him to Howrah State General Hospital later in the night.
�We have already interrogated the teacher to find out the exact incident that triggered the murder,� said a senior police officer.
Rajesh Kumar added that Ajay�s and Pawan�s friends would be interrogated too and �various aspects of the case were being probed�.
�Today�s verdict is a very significant development. Doctors should learn a lesson from this case and maintain records of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of all patients. They should realise that they will have to prove their innocence during a case such as this,� said Prabhakar Chatterjee, director of health services. He said the government always emphasised �proper maintenance of clinical documents� and repeatedly highlighted its need in seminars and workshops.
The Calcutta chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has convened an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss the judgment and determine its course of action. Some doctors of the IMA took the line that the conviction of two eminent city physicians could not be used as an indictment of �all doctors�.
�It would be wrong to generalise the court verdict and assume that we deliberately cause harm to our patients by giving wrong medicines or an overdose of drugs,� said Sudipto Roy, president of the IMA, Calcutta branch.
The state medical council, which had earlier acquitted the two doctors along with physician Abani Roy Chowdhury, chose to wait and watch. �We have heard about the judgment. But we cannot comment on the matter, as we have not seen the judgment,� said Ashoke Chowdhury, president of the council.
Consumer groups said this was a reflection of the growing awareness among patients regarding wrong treatment by doctors. �But it will not be proper for us to comment on the case, as the doctors have the scope to appeal to the high court,� said Mala Banerjee of the Federation of Consumer Associations, West Bengal. Banerjee, however, added that doctors being dragged to court for negligence was a �positive and encouraging trend�.
Prabir Basu of Consumers� Unity and Guidance Forum, while stating that the matter was �yet to be tested in high court�, said most doctors tried to help patients. �In some cases, they don�t take adequate and reasonable care of their patients,� said Basu, who is a lawyer. �One of my clients was given a strong painkiller for ortho-arthritis without carrying out the necessary tests. She began to suffer hair loss, restlessness and insomnia and had to be shifted to Mumbai for treatment,� he added.
This is due to the government�s failure to upgrade enough Madhyamik schools in the districts to the HS level. It had promised to do so after abolishing teaching of HS courses in colleges.
Two years ago, acting on a Central directive, the government had begun the exercise to stop teaching of HS in undergraduate colleges. But even though it abolished HS courses from nearly 150 colleges in the districts, it failed to build up quality infrastructure in the corresponding schools where the courses were introduced.
Most students who do well in Madhyamik seek admission in colleges where the teaching standard is better.
But now that they cannot depend on local schools, a large number of meritorious candidates from the districts are flocking to city schools for admission to Class XI. So, even the lesser-known schools have become inaccessible to city students.
Not only the science stream, but gaining entry in the arts and commerce courses, too, is difficult. So, school authorities have raised the admission bar.
Till last year, 65 per cent was the cut-off mark. This year, schools like South Point and Patha Bhavan are not accepting applications from students who have scored less than 70 per cent in toto, and less than 75 per cent in English for arts.
Jyotirmoy Mukherjee, president of the West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education, appealed to students seeking admission not to depend on a select few schools, as �the government has taken adequate steps to ensure that proper teaching standards are maintained in each school upgraded to the Higher Secondary level�.
And now, Ten Sports is ready to bring World Cup �02 to Calcutta homes � and offices. Late on Wednesday evening, RPG Netcom, the multi-system operator (MSO) which feeds more than 75 per cent of the city�s cable homes, signed an agreement with the Dubai-headquartered channel, following protracted �commercial negotiations�.
Ten Sports, which has sole India rights for the Cup, is already on the network of the other MSO in town, SitiCable. RPG Netcom subscribers will welcome the much-awaited channel into their drawing rooms either on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, once the technical loose ends are tied up.
Besides beaming 56 matches live and eight on a �deferred live� basis, the channel will also show a highlights capsule during prime time every night, called Today at the World Cup. Before each match, there will be a half-hour warm-up featuring Indian star Baichung Bhutia and former England international Gary Stevens, from the studios in Dubai.
�Yes, we have finally signed a deal with Ten Sports, which is great news for football fans in Calcutta,� said a spokesperson for RPG Netcom. Although no official explanation was forthcoming from the MSO as to why it took so long to clinch the deal, it is learnt that talks were deadlocked over the per-point fee of Rs 14 being sought by Ten Sports and the content it offered post-World Cup.
Chris McDonald, CEO of Taj Television, which owns Ten Sports, has expressed satisfaction over the resolution of the RPG impasse. �We have agreed on commercial terms which both the parties are comfortable with. I am glad that the people of Calcutta will now be able to catch the World Cup live,� McDonald said from Dubai. He was not ready to disclose the per-connection rate at which the pact was sealed.
The Ten Sports boss was quick to dispel doubts about the channel�s fare once the World Cup is over. �I fail to understand why this question keeps cropping up. We are here to do long-term business and will obviously acquire property to match the competition,� he said. For starters, Ten Sports has telecast rights for �all the Manchester United games, all cricket tours out of Sri Lanka, the three- nation cricket meet in Morocco, Champions Trophy hockey, Formula One racing, Indian European golf tours and WWF�.
There is good news for Doordarshan viewers too. According to officials of B4U, which has procured terrestrial rights for four Cup matches from Ten Sports, a deal was signed with Mandi House on Wednesday. �We have sold rights to the opening ceremony and opening match, the two semi-finals, the closing ceremony and the final to DD. All the matches will be beamed on DD on a deferred-live basis. The opening ceremony will be telecast from 11.30 pm and the rest of the games will go on air from 11 pm, except Friday, when the telecast will commence after the feature film,� confirmed Debashis Dey, chief distribution officer, B4U.
Doordarshan will also beam a one-hour capsule for all the other matches every night at 11 pm, according to the B4U official. �It�s great brand-building for the channel, even though we have had to fork out huge sums for the rights and for advertisement slots on DD,� said Dey.
Banerjee, successful on every past occasion to put a stop to Mukherjee�s project, argued irrefutably that filtered water was too precious a commodity to let go down the drain.
But now that the Trinamul chief is in a tight corner following poll reverses, Mukherjee has not wasted any time, and has already bought, at a cost of Rs 1 crore, 10 sprinkler vehicles, which will hit the road for the first time on June 15.
Along with the seven old vehicles, the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC) now has 17 such sprinklers.
This time, too, Banerjee has tried to intervene. Again, her logic will appeal to Calcuttans who don�t have enough water to drink.
But, with CMC officer on special duty Shaktibrata Ghosh making it clear that the city�s thoroughfares will be washed from June 15, the Trinamul Congress-controlled civic board is now riven by another round of intra-party wrangles.
Significantly, many areas within Banerjee�s Calcutta South Lok Sabha constituency have been left out of the mayor�s project.
Though 15 of the roads to be washed every day are in the south and only six in the north, Trinamul leaders, unable to miss such a loud and, according to them, political statement, say the south-eastern part of the city happens to be one of Banerjee�s most solid votebanks.
Initially, 50 roads will be washed with water from the spout at the Raja Subodh Mullick Square pumping station.
Five lakh litres of water will be needed daily for the ritual, and this fact alone has been instrumental in bringing most members of the mayor-in-council on Banerjee�s side in this battle.
�When several pockets in the city are reeling under a severe scarcity of water, washing of roads cannot be welcomed,� said one of them.
The opposition Left Front, too, is not going to let go of this opportunity to chastise the Trinamul. �It is a luxury,� commented CPM leader Sudhanshu Sil.
The CPM-led board had to abandon a similar scheme. It was not technically feasible to use unfiltered water because of choked drains and defunct hydrants, Sil added.
Congress leader in the CMC Sailen Dasgupta, too, decried the move. �Washing the streets with filtered water means pouring Rs 10,000 down the drains every day,� he said.
Dacoits loot house in Salt LakeSix armed dacoits raided the house of a businessman at GC block, in Salt Lake, around 10 pm on Tuesday and decamped with golden ornaments, cash and other valuables worth Rs 14,000. Officers of the South Bidhannagar police station are investigating the matter.
Prison term for HS script theftKamala Prosad Singh and Mohammad Mahasin were sentenced to three years� rigorous imprisonment for stealing the answer scripts of Higher Secondary examination. The judgment was delivered by the 11th metropolitan magistrate of Calcutta, Sashikala Basu, on Wednesday. Sources said the two entered the godown of the Higher Secondary Council at Ranji Stadium in 1986 and stole a large number of answer scripts.
Child drownedA seven-year-old boy, identified as Milan Bhattacharya, drowned in a pond at Buddhinagar, in the Thakurpukur area. The mishap occurred when he fell into the waterbody while playing. When he did not return home till late, his parents began to search for him. His body was later found floating in the pond.
Kidnap threatSambhu Ghosh was arrested at Belgharia on Wednesday for allegedly demanding money from Debasish Shaw, a transport trader of Maniktola. Police said Ghosh rang up Shaw and threatened to kidnap his son if he was not paid Rs 6 lakh. The police traced the call and picked up Ghosh, sources said.
Mayor�s criticsThere are voices of dissent in the Corporation against mayor Subrata Mukherjee, who is away in Seoul to watch the World Cup football matches. Leading the critics was Anup Chatterjee, member, mayor-in-council (roads) who, in the presence of colleagues Samsuzzaman Ansari, Javed Ahmed Khan and Arup Biswas, accused the mayor of stalling development activities in the city at the instance of the ruling CPM. Chatterjee also criticised him for going on an amusement trip when the party had received a setback in the by-elections. The mayor had neither intimated his office about the date of his return nor had he handed over charge to deputy mayor Meena Devi Purohit, they alleged. However, a civic law officer pointed out that under the CMC Act-1980, the mayor need not hand over charge when going out of town. It was an automatic process for the deputy mayor to take over, he said.
Kadapara demandNearly 1,000 labourers and residents of Kadapara, an industrial area near Swabhumi, demonstrated on Wednesday pressing for improved civic infrastructure. They handed over a memorandum to local MLA-cum-councillor Paresh Pal. They said that the drainage system of the area had collapsed as the waterbody in which the sewers would be emptied was filled up.
Boy run overSanjoy Das, 10, was killed when a private bus on route 238 knocked him down on Barasat-Taki Road in Barasat, early on Wednesday. Police said the accident occurred when the boy was crossing the road on his way to a coaching class. He succumbed to his injuries on the way to Barasat hospital. The driver managed to flee with his vehicle.
Four heldThe Jorabagan police arrested four persons suspected to be dacoits near Jorabagan Park on Tuesday night. The four are Satrughan Sharma, Sunil Pande, Amar Singh Sharma and Suraj Kumar Sonkar.
Madarsa feteThe toppers of this year�s High Madarsa, Alim and Fazil examinations were felicitated at the city press club on Wednesday by the West Bengal Madarsa Students� Union.
Joining Subham Barna Mala, a theatre group, is what changed his life. �I was being productive in something I like doing. It made my mind free, lighter and I was able to concentrate better,� says Soureen, who has been offered a full scholarship at Labanhrad Vidyapith to complete his Higher Secondary studies, after which, he says, he will give his Joint Entrance Examination or pursue a maths honours degree. �I have the opportunity to choose. But no matter what I do, I will stick with this group,� he promises.
Subham Barna Mala believes theatre is the way to develop a child�s concentration, intelligence and determination, by giving them the opportunity to explore their creativity and express their imagination. Functioning despite a lack of funds for the past 18 years, they have formed their own group of children, as well as adults, who joined them young. The aim is to bring some light into the lives of these children.
Ashish Khan, the founder of the group, says: �We take children from government and other schools that are often unable to provide even an education to their students, let alone any kind of extra-curricular activity. For example, at a certain school from where we have received a few students, they don�t have a girl�s toilet. So, when a child excuses herself, she is allowed to leave for the day. As a result, there are often no students left in the class by 12 noon. We try to channel their energies in a positive direction.�
This year, about 150 children from seven schools have been selected for the Subham Natya Mela, from June 1 to 5, to coincide with the birth centenaries of eminent writers Sunirmal Basu, Charu Chandra Chakraborty, Akhil Neogi and Pramatha Nath Bishi, and the 125th birth anniversary of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. June 2 will give the children a turn to demonstrate their talent. Five plays will be put up at Girish Mancha. The school authorities have selected the stories from among the writings of the authors chosen.
�We specifically asked the schools to choose stories and not plays. Nor did we prepare the script for them. The children were meant to make the dialogue up on their own as they went along. That gave them a greater scope to develop their creativity and made them feel that they had a greater hand in the production process. This retains their interest.�
The trainers are theatre veterans from places as far as Naihati and Shantipur, who are doing it for the love of the job, asking for only travel expenses. Thus, stage personalities like Tirthankar Chandra, who has his own theatre group that works with children from lower-income backgrounds, lend a hand, bringing their years of experience to extract a disciplined performance from even the more boisterous ones.
Khan says over the years he has received enormous support from schools. �Often, the principals and teachers, who send their wards to my workshops, tell me that the children�s behaviour shows a marked improvement thereafter. But a lot of the time the parents are not so enthusiastic, because the kids sometimes skip classes or don�t do their homework to come to our workshops�
�We devise different ways of testing their commitment. For example, we started providing food, so some extra kids turned up. Later, we stopped it to see who was coming for the food and who was truly interested.�
The Subham Natya Mela at Girish Mancha is only the second to be organised by the group. Khan, a criminal lawyer, says his support system comprises his colleagues in court. The cash crunch casts a shadow over his plans, but not his dreams. �We try to do our best with what we have,� says Khan.
Sources said both the departments are at loggerheads over the measures taken for the drive. �I am surprised at the attitude of the conservancy department,� said officer on special duty, health, Atanu Mukherjee. He alleged that the conservancy department had held back its support.
Refuting the charge, chief engineer, conservancy, Arun Sarkar, said: �No one from the health department approached me for helping out with the drive against cut fruits. I am ready to provide manpower and transport but first, I have to know the logistics behind the drive.�
A senior health official pointed out that last year, due to reasons of its own, the conservancy department had carried out an independent drive on cut fruits, without informing the health department. Mayor Subrata Mukherjee, in the presence of member, mayor-in-council, conservancy, Mala Roy and member, drainage and sewerage, Rajib Deb, had flagged off the drive.
This year, the health department took it upon itself to conduct the drive against cut fruits, coloured syrups and edibles, sold by vendors on pavements.
During its four-day drive, the health department has reportedly destroyed large quantities of cut fruits and roadside edibles in the business areas of the city.
According to Atanu Mukherjee, if not checked now, such edibles might cause cholera, hepatitis, diarrhoea and even cancer because of their unhygienic handling and carcinogenic colouring.
He added that his department�s work would be much easier if the conservancy department joined hands in the drive.
�Many areas are yet to be covered. The department is handicapped by limitations, which will lengthen the process of checking such a menace. I wish the conservancy department sees reason and joins hands with us,� he added.
According to superintendent of Howrah Police, Rajesh Kumar, his force has already identified the accident-prone zones in the district, particularly on the National Highway and the Kona Expressway.
�We have realised that extensive patrolling and manning of the accident-prone zones are essential to apply the brakes on the rising menace,� said Kumar. Speedbreakers are also being erected near important intersections to check rash driving.
He added that drivers pay scant regard to road rules, such as checking air pressure in the tyres and the condition of the tyres, use of wipers and dippers at night and the condition of the brakes and gears.
�Many accidents take place due to low pressure in the tyres and punctures in the tyres of heavy vehicles. Our team will look into the condition of the tyres, besides conducting routine checks on vehicles,� said Kumar. Mobile patrols will also pull up drunk drivers. They will face prosecution.
The district police will also check whether the drivers abide by the speed limits near sharp turns, schools, colleges and hospitals, as these are considered �sensitive zones�.
�We had earlier put up the rules and regulations on billboards, but drivers hardly go through them. We will also be putting an end to the practice of travelling on the roofs of long-distance buses. We have already prosecuted passengers on this account and yet, the menace continues,� added Kumar.
The district administration is also worried about Trekkers, plying within Howrah town, which load passengers beyond capacity, giving rise to accidents. Trekkers, however, have been banned on highways.
Soumen Mitra, deputy commissioner, detective department, said the kidnapping took place around 10 am. �A group of four youths in a taxi went to the saw mill in Shambhu Babu Lane, in the Entally police station area. They had been tipped-off that the merchant�s son, Zaheed, would arrive there.�
As soon as Zaheed approached the main gate of the saw mill, the youths whipped out revolvers and dragged the teenager into the taxi at gunpoint. The kidnappers managed to flee before residents of the area could raise an alarm.
The first ransom call came to Zaheed�s Entally residence after an hour. The abductors demanded Rs 50,000. �The sum was beyond the capacity of the family. So, they started bargaining. Finally, the demand was scaled down to Rs 15,000,� said Mitra. �The goons told Zaheed�s family members to meet them in front of Syed Baba Mosque, in the Hastings police station area, with the cash,� Mitra added.
The family, meanwhile, alerted officers in Entally police station, who relayed the message to Lalbazar. Officials of the anti-rowdy section (ARS) were asked to contact Zaheed�s family members.
The police then asked the victim�s elder brother, Saheed, to go to the designated spot with a briefcase. By then, the kidnappers had called Zaheed�s family twice and threatened them: �We are waiting here for the past two hours� You come soon, pay the money and take your son back.�
A team of 10 ARS officials, led by the DC, DD (special) Pijush Pandey, reached the spot around 3.30 pm with Saheed. �We split up into small groups. Officers took up position posing as hawkers and pedestrians. We told Saheed to engage the kidnappers in conversation to give us time to strike,� said Pandey.
After five minutes, two teenagers approached Saheed. �Saheed started talking to them� Within 10 minutes, two other youths turned up. As our officers closed in on them, they tried to flee. But three of them were rounded up. The fourth managed to board a running bus,� added Pandey.
The arrested trio was identified as Sheikh Arjun, 15, of Chhatu Babu Lane, Santosh Roy, 16, of New Alipore and Afsar Alam, 18, of Syed Ahmed Road.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Alam owed allegiance to the Chunnu gang. Chunnu had been arrested earlier on charges of extortion. �The two others are new faces and this might be their first crime,� said Mitra.

Justin Bieber Naked On His Boat.
The J-Dawg has done the unimaginable for his Belibers. Yesterday, The Biebs took to Instagram and uploaded a picture of himself and it wasn't just any ordinary picture—it was a picture of him pointing to an island, naked, with the caption:
"Look." And it sure does have a lot of people looking. There's no doubt that The Biebs squats because that buttay is plumper than mine! Hey, I'm okay with that.
And if you guys haven't seen the picture then check it out below! Looks like quite the relaxing boat ride as well. What do you guys think of the sexy new picture? The funny thing about it all? Justin showed up at his Grandmothers a few years ago, wearing nothing but a guitar! That was pretty sexy as well, but who doesn't like seeing his back muscles and worked buttocks?
Pretty handsome back side, ey?
Blessed Be!

There are two educational goals I want to get across with this
example. The first is the use of
headers within a RESTful application. The second is that if your services
provide the appropriate links, you only need one published URL to navigate
through your system. When you look at the client code for this example,
you'll see that only one URL is hardcoded to start the whole process of
the example.
To illustrate these techniques, a few more additional JAX-RS services were built beyond the simple customer database example that has been repeated so many times throughout this book. Chapter 2 discussed the design of an e-commerce application. This chapter starts the process of implementing this application by introducing an order-entry RESTful service.
To make it easier to publish
Link headers, the
Link class from ex09_1 is expanded to add a
toString() and
valueOf() method:
@XmlRootElement(name = "link") public class Link { ... /** * To write as link header * * @return */ public String toString() { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("<"); builder.append(href).append(">; rel=").append(relationship); if (type != null) builder.append("; type=").append(type); return builder.toString(); } private static Pattern parse = Pattern.compile( "<(.+)>\\s*;\\s*(.+)"); /** * For unmarshalling Link Headers. * Its not an efficient or perfect algorithm * and does make a few assumptiosn * * @param val ...

Heroes Producer Blogs About Season FinaleMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Greg Beeman is a producer on Heroes. Somehow, with all his job entails, the man finds time to blog about the show.
We thank him for it - and present this take on the show's final episode and first season.
There you have it 23 episodes of Heroes. Wow. What a long strange trip it's been. Everyone else who works with me on the show will agree that it has been one of the hardest and most creatively satisfying experiences of our professional careers.
So, while you guys may have to wait three months or so for the next installment, let me encourage you with the following news: First we here at Heroes are already all back at work. Episode 1 is being written as we speak and we begin shooting episode 1 in about 1 short month. I have heard the writers pitch out the story lines for the next season and lemme tell you they are freakin' awesome. There are new characters. New powers. Some of the characters you have come to know and love, in fact, DID die last night.
And ALL those who survive will be moving on in new and unexpected directions. We are all ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED to not repeating ourselves next season – but in bringing you a freshly conceived show. Also, the reason we are beginning so early is that we are all committed to long runs of the show next year with very few, and very short hiatuses. We don't want to be off the air with new episodes for 5 or 6 weeks anymore.
Also, the DVD will be out on August 28th and it will be loaded with lots of extras. We have been working on many of those extras for several months already.
OK – that's it. As for me, my blog will go dark for a couple of months. But this season, my plan is to come back online a few times before we air, to fill you in on what's developing, and maybe to answer some questions you have. I'm sure the official NBC site and Herosite.net will alert you when new blogs are up.
Hang in there. And we'll see you next year!!!

The Washington Times has done the most definitive article yet on Mike Huckabee's rocky relationship with Arkansas Republicans. (Sen. Dave Bisbee's vote for John McCain in the Benton County Republican straw poll, as reported in the article I mentioned earlier, is one other solid example.)
In both on-the-record and private conversations with Republicans in Arkansas, the picture that emerges is a governor who succeeded at advancing his causes and was willing to fight anyone who didn't agree.
That matters because the next Republican presidential nominee will be tasked with trying to rebuild a congressional majority and stoke a Republican Party after eight volatile years under President Bush.
Like Mr. Bush, Mr. Huckabee achieved some early successes. By the beginning of 1999, when he was sworn in for his first full term, his party had gained nearly a quarter of the state's House, added state Senate seats and held the lieutenant governorship, one of the two U.S. Senate seats and half of the four congressional seats.
But also like Mr. Bush, who battled congressional Republicans on immigration reform and prescription drug coverage, Mr. Huckabee found himself fighting members of his own party.
..."In the 10 years where the governor was the title head of the party, we actually took steps backwards," Mr. [Rep. Jake] Files said, noting that Republicans were advancing in other Southern states. "The overall morale of the party did not take any of those same stages it did in the other states. It started plateauing and took a dive."
The Times article touches on just about everything. It notes how little Huckabee's CLAPAC, an Arkansas front, was used for its ostensible purpose of supporting other Republican candidates. It also mentions the legally dubious Hope for America PAC that Huckabee set up in Virginia, also with the ostensible purpose of helping other Republican candidates. That PAC raised $1.2 million over three years, but spent none on other Republican candidates. Instead, the money went for expenses that look a great deal like the sort you'd make in exploring a presidential race, though this would have been an improper use of the money. The spending included hefty payments to a political consultant, who would have had no consulting or polling to do on Huckabee's behalf. Some suspect that money went in part to put a family member on a payroll in advance of Huckabee's presidential run in a way where it wouldn't be openly disclosed.

Brazil | In action since 2014
In a region where water scarcity is a critical issue, our Enactus students from Federal Institute of Ceará, Iguatu Campus, adopted a three-point approach to make a positive impact the lives of farmers with small holdings. The team developed a low-cost micro-sprinkler irrigation system to collect humidity and convert it to water, used to irrigate and make formerly arid land viable. Produce grown on this land then was sold at fairs promoted by the team and community. Team members also created brooding enclosures for poultry to help farmers nurture birds intended for sale at the market, diversifying the farmers' income.
Impact(s): 4 new businesses; 15 families affected, with an average increase in income of 82 percent; 7 new crop varieties produced in the area; 3 new technologies
What's next: To make the technology affordable and accessible to families who are lacking water resources elsewhere in the world.
This project advances these key Global Goals:
Students involved
Past WC appearances
Faculty advisor(s):
Maria Eliane Holanda Coelho, MSc; Maria Núbia Lucena Gomes, MSc; Kelvio Felipe dos Santo, MSc
Our proudest moment of the past year:
Becoming Champion of the fourth Nufarm Prize, Conscience and Ethics in the Agribusiness of 2016.
Biggest challenge from the past year:
Optimizing the resources available to generate food for our beneficiaries.
Team described in one word:
The passion for the values of Enactus regional coordinators inspired Joice to join the Enactus club at her university. Three years later, she has become its Project Leader. "I was afraid to express myself, says Joice," who anticipates graduating this year with a degree in irrigation and drainage technology. "Enactus afforded me [the opportunity]to lose all of my fears and enabled me to always try, and that's what I've been doing." Joice says she hopes to acquire knowledge of new cultures and experience the culture of each participating team at Enactus World Cup, where all participants are striving for the same goal: progress in communities.

Three years ago, Kevin came to campus in search of personal and professional growth. He became involved with Enactus after encountering regional coordinators of Enactus Brazil who were promoting the program on campus. Today, one of his greatest successes with the team has been overcoming his greatest initial challenge. "I think I understood that I needed to get out of the comfort zone," says Kevin, a chemistry major who plans to graduate in 2021. Enactus has shown me that I can go further, break down barriers and spread good deeds for our communities."

Christopher B. Corey's clients — at least at first — are strangers, regardless of whether they contact his e-commerce company from Colombia or from across town. There is, however, one important factor making it possible for these unfamiliar parties to immediately forge mutually productive relationships: money.
"There's a binding understanding among all businesses and clients," says Corey, "that people perform services in exchange for money. It's true for me and for the plumber who comes to fix your sink. But it's an understanding that people take for granted. Everyone is skeptical about a relationship until the money changes hands and then, there's an instant trust."
The idea of money generating trust — rather than perhaps a decay of human morals — is a long-time mantra for Corey. But it's now proven true in a series of economic experiments. When researchers at Chapman University created two economies in a lab — one in which the entire fabricated society would benefit by giving away valuables and another relying on a currency for such exchanges — it was the paying-people who were willing to trust new people.
"Voluntary cooperation or mutual support is difficult in a society of strangers," says Gabriele Camera, a professor at Chapman. "As groups grow in size, you need the use of money."
At first people in Camera's lab had to rely on the reciprocation of favors when deciding whether to award "points" to an unknown person. In the lab's barter society, partnerships of two people were likely to help each other — and did so 70 percent of the time. But once the group grew to four people, only half the players gave graciously. Once there were eight people, cooperation dwindled to 30 percent. When groups numbered 32 people, there was barely any collaboration at all.
The introduction of even meaningless tokens — let's remember, American dollars are backed mostly by our general consensus that they're worth something — had two effects. First, the exchange of tokens meant a person didn't have to worry about whether a stranger would one day reciprocate. The money provided immediate comfort and allowed people to easily forge new, lucrative deals.
But at the same time, the currency ruined small partnerships. While groups of two prospered most in a favor-based world, the currency crowded out social support and caused small groups to earn less.
That means, says Camera, that while a growing economy needs money, we might keep a favor-based system when asking something of our kids or close friends (such as whether they might help with our kids). "In situations where interaction can be based on trust," says Camera, "you don't need to monetize the transaction."
For Jonathan Morduch, economics professor at New York University, it's a well-researched phenomenon that came to life at the daycare center his kids attended. When parents were charged a small late fee for pickups after 5 p.m., such as $1 per minute, they wouldn't worry about the clock — and opt to pay the fine. But the absence of a financial penalty promoted on-time pick up more effectively, since parents were concerned about inconveniencing the people who care for their kids all day. "When we put a price on stuff, it changes the nature of the relationship," says Morduch.
And while money is most certainly empowering and important, says Christine Desan, a Leo Gottlieb law professor at Harvard University, it's still necessary for societies to manage relationships with money. One stark example is the unmonitored lending policies that, in part, led to the national real estate crash. And societies might do well restricting certain transactions — such as limiting political contributions, she says.
"It's not an 'on-off' switch, she says. "Once you have a public resource to make exchanges, there are many decisions on how to design and manage it."
And with the trust money fosters also comes deception. This month, four organizations — including The Children's Cancer Fund of America Inc. — claiming to use funding for cancer patients actually lined officers' pockets, bilking donors out of $187 million, according to charges brought by the Federal Trade Commission. The commission is also requiring the return of more than $3 million to consumers who believed testimonials from TriVita Inc. promising its cactus-based drink would treat a variety of health problems.
But there are often red flags that could alert us to scams, says Chuck Harwood, regional director for the FTC. When shopping online, make sure the company has an actual physical address, not just a post office box; otherwise it's pretty hard for you (not to mention law enforcement) to track it down, he says. Make sure a charity's donations are tax deductible, a status you can check online at irs.gov. Don't use payment methods that are difficult to reverse, such as wire transfers, electronic checks or debits.
Prices that seem unusually low — perhaps half of what's listed elsewhere — with no explanation should make us suspicious. And a seller who makes promises should be willing to put them on paper. Offers that won't be available later and require decisions immediately might be better left on the table.
"Problems occur when people allow themselves to be enticed by an offer that doesn't make sense," says Harwood. "None of these means you definitely walk away, but it does mean you should ask more questions."
This is an occasional column by Miamian and former U.S. government economist Brett Graff, who edits www.thehomeeconomist.com. Follow her at @BrettGraff or contact her at email@example.com.
Money may bring trust, but it's still important to keep an eye out for red flags. Chuck Harwood of the Federal Trade Commission offers these tips.
▪ If you're dealing with a company and can't figure out where it's located, remember law enforcement might have the same problem. Even internet companies should have a physical address.
▪ Weight-loss products that promise you'll slim down without making changes in diet or exercise are usually not backed by scientific studies.
▪ Don't make transactions that are difficult to reverse, such as electronic checks, debits or wire transfers, in case the product doesn't function as planned.
▪ Beware of prices seeming unusually low, without any explanation.
▪ Don't work with any seller who makes oral promises but declines to put them in writing.
▪ Be wary of charities claiming that "all the money benefits the program." Most have fundraising and programming costs.
▪ Never feel forced to make a decision immediately. Offers that aren't available later aren't usually worth taking.
