Muscat: Oman will be implementing a number of transformative projects to expand its airports and roads in 2018, according to senior officials of the Ministry of Transport and Communications and the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA).
More than 340km of roads will be added to Oman's transportation network. Eng. Salim Al Naimi, Undersecretary for Transport at the Ministry of Transport and Communications, conducted a presentation showing the network's new additions, including the Sharqiyah Expressway, the Al Batinah Expressway, as well as new roads linking Ibri-Yanqul, Barka-Nakhl, and Adam-Thumrait.
Dr. Mohammed Al Zaabi, CEO of PACA, said: "In 2017, we signed 17 air transport agreements. In 2018, we plan to sign 34."
The 34 countries that PACA will be focusing on include Germany, France, China, India, Pakistan, Mauritius, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, South Africa, and Japan.
Al Zaabi further outlined how PACA's revenue had grown by 127 per cent from 2014 to 2017 and it registered a 69 per cent increase in passenger numbers from 2013 to 2017.

The first rule of resumes is that Content is KING! No matter how snazzy your resume looks, if your content doesn't convey value it's unlikely to generate job interviews.
That said, having a well formatted resume infused with some style can help set you apart from your competition.
When it comes to formatting, the biggest problem with DIY resumes is sloppiness.
This is often seen in inconsistent bullets, employment dates that have migrated across the page, and teeny, tiny or weird fonts that no one can read.
Generally these resumes also don't convey value. They don't demonstrate what you have to offer potential employers.
There are tons of articles (here's one by me) that can help you with that.
Today, the subject is formatting. Here are 5 ways to ensure your resume is easy-to-read and infused with a bit of personality and style.
- Avoid large blocks of text and long lists of bullets. Instead provide a brief summary of each position followed by 3 to 5 bulleted achievements.
- Choose easy to read Sans Serif fonts for the body of the resume. Ariel, Calibri, and Verdana are good choices.
- Use color and shading as design elements. Dark colors work well for names and headings. Lighter colors work best for highlighting and shading.
- Go to the Borders and Shading section to add lines differentiating the sections of your resume. Add some shading to lines for a more formal effect.
- Tailor color use to your industry. For example, grey and black for a senior executive in the financial industry, brighter colors for more creative fields.
When it comes to your resume, content that immediately conveys value is the most important component. An eye-catching design is icing on the cake. Think of it in terms of a job interview.
Your goal during a job interview is to sell yourself, show what you have to offer, well enough to be invited back for the next interview. While wearing a 10-year old suit may not prevent you from moving forward, it certainly won't help you either.
This also is true for your resume. Particularly, if you are in the running for a senior-level position where certain things are expected. An easy-to-ready, eye-catching resume will help set you apart from your competition.

Hi, I was diagnosed last December with sero negative RA an OA, scans of hands show inflammation I have tried MTX for 12 weeks, but too many side effects so I am now on Sulphasalazine 4 tablets a day for 11 weeks. There has been no difference since December, in fact my fingers are getting worse, both with pain and swelling Seen OT, have splints and edema gloves, they do help with the pain a little, but not to any real extent.
I take pregabalin 50mg in the mornings and 150mg evenings, I am on 8 paracetamol per day, I am unable to tolerate stronger pain medication, I am am also taking prednisolone 7.5 mg per day. I am diabetic and my GP is not happy with giving me steroid injection as it shoots diabetes up considerably. I waited all day Friday for a phone call from GP as to whether I could up my steroids to 10mg, but didn't get one. Rheumy nurse rang to ask if he had called, she was waiting for consultant to suggest something else, as all he had suggested so far I am unable to take, as he should know if he bothered to read my file, which he obviously hadn't. I have had to stop taking naproxen because it affects my asthma
I am at the end of my tether as to what to do, the pain and swelling is excruciating in my hands and fingers.
Just needed to get that off my chest, sorry for the rant.

"A painstaking, interesting and well-written study on a little known but important subject. The author uses first-hand Russian accounts to show that in the early part of the 19th century Russian contacts with Mexican California were close. The later accounts show Russian diplomats such as Mayakovsky as shrewd and perceptive observers of the Mexican scene even though ideologically biased particularly in comparing the Mexican Revolution with their own."—British Bulletin of Publications

Gravity Probe B
The General Theory of Relativity predicts two effects which should contribute to the drift of a perfect gyroscope in a polar orbit around the earth: a geodetic effect and a frame dragging. For a gyroscope in the form of a perfectly homogeneous sphere and for an orbit of 650 km altitude, the predicted drift rates are 6.6 arc sec per year for the geodetic effect and 0.042 arc sec per year for the frame dragging; Schiff, L.I.(ref.1). The aim of the Gravity Probe B experiment is to detect and measure these two effects to an accuracy better than 0.0005 arc sec per year.
However, imperfections of the gyroscope rotor spheres such as asphericity and inhomogeneity also cause drifts due to classical torques. It is therefore essential that these unwanted drifts be small compared to the effects to be measured. From an analysis of the electrical torques on the rotors it was determined that in order to reduce the drift rate due to asphericity to less than 0.0001 arc sec per year, the rotor spheres have to be polished to 1 micro inch (25 nm) or to deviate no more than ± 0.5 micro inch (12 nm) from a perfect sphere. Similar requirements are also set for the niobium thin film coating which is subsequently applied to the rotor spheres, because a non uniform coating can cause mass unbalance. Problems associated with the coating are discussed by Gill, D. et al. (ref.2).
The spheres were manufactured at the Hansen Experimental
Physics Laboratory out of fused silica and out of single crystal silicon.
Both materials are well established and have extensive industrial use.
[Editor's Note: While both types of rotors were made, in final flight qualification testing the Homosil fused silica performed better, exceeding specifications. Unfortunately, the single crystal silicon rotors did not pass final flight qualification testing.]
Fused silica was originally chosen for the rotors because it is available with highly homogeneous density, which can be tested by measuring the uniformity of the index of refraction. Homosil fused silica (ref.3) was tested and selected for homogeneity by the manufacturer using interferometry. Multipath refractive index measurements in three perpendicular directions, performed at the Physics Dept. of the Univ. of Aberdeen, confirmed the manufacturer results; De Freitas, J.M. et al. (ref.4).
On the other hand single crystal silicon has several desirable properties. Float zone refined single crystal silicon has 1 ppm typical homogeneity, which is an order of magnitude better than our requirement. In comparison to fused silica, silicon has smaller thermal expansion coefficient (4·10-8 K-1 at 2 deg. K) and higher thermal conductivity (?*) [but lower specific heat (?*)]. Therefore, an effort was made to manufacture silicon spheres of a similar precision as the fused silica spheres. The Wacker company was selected as a silicon supplier (ref.5).
The present plan is to use two gyroscope rotors spheres made of fused silica and two made of single crystal silicon. This paper will describe the manufacturing of such spheres and the related precision measurements.
We will first describe the specially developed machines and the methods of fabrication as well as the precision instrumentation, measurement methods and data analysis. This is followed by the discussion of lapping and polishing process. We conclude with the results obtained.
Angele developed the original lapping and polishing machines and described the manufacturing method (see Fig.1 and ref.6). The original lapping and polishing machines were built by Ed White at the Marshal Space Flight Center and transferred to Stanford University in 1970. The machines have tetrahedral symmetry: the axes of the laps coincide with the axes of a regular tetrahedron. All the first experimental rotors were manufactured using these machines. Later, a new polishing machine was designed and built at Stanford University (see ref.7 and Fig. 2). Both polishing machines were later modified and used in manufacturing the science mission rotors. To achieve the most uniform action, Angele selected the following six motions of the polishing laps (cycles):
|A (upper) lap
|B (left) lap
|C (back) lap
|D (right) lap
Table 1.
F=forward, B=backward
The motors of the original machine were equipped with analog speed controllers, augmented by digital controllers with tachometer feedback, to assure further uniformity, (ref.8) . The new Stanford machine is computer controlled. The rotation angle of each axis is controlled by means of servo motors and shaft position encoders (ref.9).
During the process, the sphere is supported by the laps. Due to the weight of the sphere (and given the symmetrical configuration) the pressure of the upper lap is smaller than the pressure of the lower laps, which support the weight of the sphere. As shown in Fig.3 the laps are annular calottes closely conforming to the sphere. During the process, the sphere slowly decreases in size and the shape of the laps adjusts accordingly. Therefore one can not arbitrarily switch spheres during the polishing process unless they are of the same size.
All this applies to both lapping and polishing machines, which have very similar general configuration. They differ however in many small details. In the following the emphasis will be on polishing, which is the most demanding process.
During the polishing process the sphere slowly rotates as a result of the combined action of all four laps (see note 10). The direction of the sphere rotation corresponds to the vector sum of the rotations transmitted from each of the four laps to the sphere (the lower three being equal and the upper one somewhat smaller due to the smaller pressure). The axis of rotation of the sphere points slightly downward between each pair of lower laps, depending on the cycle. Since the sphere rotates during polishing, it exerts net reaction torques upon the laps. As the laps are supprted by an elastic structure or a pivoted arm, these torques tend to induce larger pressure on the side of the lap where the sphere moves toward the lap. Therefore by using the lap mounts with a pivot close to the sphere, rather than a longer arm, we obtained an improvement of sphericity.
One of the most critical parameters determining the quality of the manufactured spheres was found to be the machine alignment. The construction of the original machine was such that the alignment was not easy and it tended to change, requiring periodic adjustment. Thus the new Stanford Machine was designed with the alignment problem in mind. A hole in the center of the base plate allows the insertion of a precision shaft bound to the vertical structure serving as the reference axis. Therefore the common intersection point of the vertical shaft with the lower laps shafts can be easily checked.
Another important parameter is the balance between the pressures exerted by the four laps on the sphere. The original machine uses specially made springs. The springs used for lower three laps are selected for a similar force at the working compression level and the forces are equalized by using adjustable back planes for the springs. For the new machine, only weights and pulleys were originally used. These were easy to equalize, but the central position of the sphere was unstable. After adding weak stabilizing springs the motion was quite stable and uniform.
As mentioned above, the new Stanford machine is controlled by computer. It uses a commercial control system (see ref.9). The control was such that the laps move in time through a periodic sequence of angular positions. We suspected that this could lead to repeating polishing patterns. We developed a model where the position of the instantaneous axis of rotation of the sphere was followed in a coordinate system fixed within the sphere (see Fig.7). Under some conditions the model showed repetitive patterns, rather than a uniform random distribution. We then introduced a slight random variation in the duration of the cycles and used random permutations in the cycle sequence to avoid such repetition. This improved the sphericity and lowered the reject rate.
Because of a 0.001 inch (25 mm) gap in the suspension of the sphere in the gyroscope, the diameter tolerance did not need to be better than ± 20 micro inch (0.5 mm). For production purposes a relative diameter measurement with respect to a standard fused silica sphere was performed by using a specially constructed instrument (made by students in the Precision Engineering class, (ref.11 ). The instrument uses an LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transducer) displacement sensor with a minimum scale division of 5 micro inch (127 nm), adequate for the specification. For the silicon spheres, corrections were made for the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between silicon and fused silica. The temperature was measured to a few tenths of degree C. Absolute measurements of the standard fused silica sphere were also performed as a project of the Precision Engineering student class, (ref.12 ). For this purpose students built an apparatus which is used in conjunction with an interferometer donated by the Hewlett Packard company. The size of the standard sphere was found to be 1.4959" ± 45 micro inch (37.996 ± 0.001 mm). The error is the geometric sum of statistical and estimated systematic errors.
Measurements of sphericity were performed using a Talyrond roundness measuring instrument manufactured by the Rank Taylor Hobson Company (Fig.5 ). The main component of the instrument is a precision spindle, driven by a synchronous motor. Measurements were performed at the slow speed of 6 revolutions per minute. The spindle carries a rail, on which a displacement measuring instrument (LVDT) is mounted. During the measurement, the tip of the stylus is brought in contact with the sphere at a low force of 2-3 g. The tip of the stylus is made out of diamond for low friction and has a radius of about 9 mil (0.22 mm). The instrument has a good provision for precision centering. The resulting centering error (as determined by a least squares fit for each measurement) was of the order of 0.1 micro-inch (2.5 nm). The instrument is equipped with an analog amplifier and an active band pass filter. Usually the filter cutoff was set at 150 undulations per revolution and the amplification at 20,000 times.
The precision spindle upper bearing is conical and the lower one is semi-spherical, both floating on a thin oil film. Deviation of the spindle motion from pure rotation causes a measurement error which is a function of the rotation angle and reaches about 1 micro inch. As the motion of the spindle is quite repeatable over long periods of time, this error (Fig.6 ) can be subtracted from the measurements.
The sphere to be measured is supported by three small spheres. A thin kapton foil is inserted between the supports and the sphere, so as to avoid scratching the sphere. The incomplete rigidity of sphere support contributes slightly to the measurement errors. We estimate this contribution to be less then 0.1 micro inch (<2.5 nm)
Mechanical and electrical drifts also contribute to the measurement errors. The mechanical drifts are mainly due to temperature changes and appear as relaxations. Electrical drifts tend to be of more continuous nature. Usually 2 or 3 measurements are taken in a sequence and averaged. If the drift exceeds 0.1 micro inch (2.5 nm) the measurement is rejected.
The largest correction to the measurements was the subtraction of the Talyrond spindle error. This error was determined using the following methods:
Averaging method: One can measure the same great circle, in a series of rotated positions of the sphere. When taking the average of such measurements for a very good sphere, deviations from a perfect circle tend to average out, and spindle error (always the same in all measurements) can be determined. This method was used to check error correction obtained by other methods, as the corrected consecutive measurements should average very close to a circle. As an example, for a Talyrond error of 1 micro inch ( 25 nm) peak to valley (p/v), and a sphere error of 0.5 micro inch (12.5 nm) p/v, the error of the average of 12 or 15 measurements in a series of rotated positions, could be 0.1 micro inch (2.5 nm). The method is straightforward and does not require manipulation of the instrument.
Fourier method: In this method the data is taken in the same way as
in the method of averaging, say 15 consecutive rotated positions. The data
is analyzed using a Fourier series expansion in order to detect and separate
the component which rotates with the sphere (sphere error) from the component
which is stationary (spindle error) (see DiDonna, B., ref.14
For our apparatus, the spindle error was found to be about 1.1 micro inch (28 nm) maximum, (see Fig 6 .)
The analog displacement signal is amplified, filtered and sampled synchronously with the spindle rotation. It is then converted into a digital signal in a Lawson 12 bit A/D converter. Sampling is done for 600 points per circle corresponding to a ~128 samples per linear inch (50 samples per cm). The start and stop signals for sampling are obtained from a micro switch which is actuated by a small cam on the spindle, corresponding with the stylus at the north pole position. Sixteen meridian circles are measured. After each measurement the sphere is rotated by 180/16 degrees. The equator is then measured as well.
The original software was developed under the guidance of Prof. J.Turneaure and written by Stanford University students. It was further modified to improve the display and allow easier measurement of a sequence of 17 circles (see ref.15).
The reconstruction can be broken into the following steps. For each meridian great circle, 2-3 measurements of 600 data points are taken, corrected for spindle error and stored in separate measurement files. Averages of consecutive measurements of the same circle are centered using least squares. Each circle is re-aligned and the standard deviations at the poles and the equator are checked. Two meridians are formed from the single great circle measurement by inverting the second half of the sequence. The data is stored, (32 data points for each parallel for 126 parallels and two poles). Next, the sphere is represented by an expansion in spherical harmonics, Y(l,m,J,j). The integration is performed for each l and m: j angle first, using trigonometric functions and J angle next, using associated Legendre functions up to Lmax=16. The result is a set of coefficients representing the sphere. The expansion is later used for calculating global peak to valley deviations from the ideal sphere and for plots. The coefficients are also used for the study of the gyroscope motion.
Fused silica spheres were manufactured from 2.5" Homosil cubes by two companies: Davidson Optronics and Speedring (ref.16). Both used a similar process consisting in a diamond turning, followed by grinding with rough abrasive (silicon carbide, 50 mm average size). The silicon spheres were manufactured at the Ginzton Laboratory Crystal Shop, Stanford University, from 2"(5cm) boules, using a similar approach.
We have discussed the mechanical problems first because one would like to have this part under control before attempting to optimize the process. Our application was such that the surface quality was of concern mostly insofar as it affects the sphericity. Subsurface damage (visible and not) was important because it modifies the properties of the bulk material in a surface layer which is estimated to be about twice as thick as the abrasive size used (10 mm and 3 mm for lapping; 1 mm for polishing). The surface was checked at a magnification 500 times, using a good optical microscope equipped with interference contrast attachment (Reichart). Additionally, an Atomic Force Microscope was used for some observations made by Dr. V.Graham (see ref.19; both microscopes courtesy of the Materials Research Laboratory, Stanford University).
In the lapping process our main concern was to remove all damaged material from the previous steps. The thickness of this damaged layer was expected to be 0.004" (100 mm). In fact as the size of the sphere at the acceptance was 1.55 inch (39.4 mm) and the final size was 1.4959" (~38 mm), the thickness of the layer removed by lapping and polishing was over six times the estimated thickness of the layer damaged in the grinding process. Brass laps with 6 cuts were used. Abrasive slurry was made by mixing alumina powder with de-ionized water. It was held in suspension by continuous stirring. Small amounts of slurry were pumped and delivered in drops. The slurry was not recirculated and was used at rate of about 1/4 liter per hour. We used abrasive of average size 10mm (Microgrit, ref. 17) for the removal of the first .025" (.635mm) of material. This stage lasted about 15 h for fused silica and about 30h for silicon. Lapping of the remaining .002" (51mm) was done using abrasive of average size 3mm (Microgrit). When a diameter of 1.4965" (38mm) was reached, the spheres were checked, measured and transferred to polishing. At this point the typical sphericity was 5-10 micro inch (130-250 nm)p/v. The estimated thickness of the damaged layer produced by lapping with 3mm abrasive was 6mm (0.0002"), while the layer removed in polishing was 8mm (0.0003").
Two of the most important factors in determining the quality of the
polishing are the choice of slurry and the selection of the material used
in forming the laps. This is especially true for silicon spheres.
As polishing slurry we used commercial products: Big C (ceria slurry from Universal Photonics, (ref.18a), H2000 (rare earths proprietary slurry from Selectox - Hastings, ref 18b) and/or fine grade alumina powders in deionized water (Baikalox, ref.18c).
Some of the products tested contained a considerable amount of very large particles (up to 40 mm particles in a nominally "1mm" powder,( see Fig 8 ). These are hard to separate and cause scratches, particularly in silicon. Scratches affect the sphericity, as the material around the scratch is modified and doesn't polish uniformly. Such scratches, even if polished out, leave irregular traces on the surface. We therefore looked for slurries which did not have such large particles. One way to find if big particles are present in a slurry is by washing off small particles. One eventually ends up with the larger residual particles which can be easily measured under a microscope (see Fig.8 ). In this way we were able to characterize several commercial products. The slurries finally selected still had a fraction of larger particles present, but in lesser degree.
We found that matching lap material, slurry and sphere material is the key to obtaining a good surface as well as a good sphericity. We started off using the original polishing machine equipped with specially made phenolic laps sintered with paper. In fused silica, these laps produced good sphericity, but not the best surface quality. Switching to pitch laps (Gugolz 64 from Universal Photonics ref.18a) produced a better surface, but not the best sphericity. This was traced to mechanical problems: When the polishing machines were modified , as described above, good sphericity could be obtained also with pitch laps.
Polishing of silicon presents additional problems, which are related to the crystalline structure of silicon (ref. 20). The experience gained in polishing fused silica was very useful when we started polishing silicon. The anisotropic mechanical and chemical properties of single crystal silicon are used to advantage when polishing flat silicon wafers. However, when the same polishing technology was attempted on a silicon sphere, it produced peak to valley heights of the order of 100 micro-inches (2.5 mm) highlighting the crystalline structure. Commercial products for polishing silicon wafers contain KOH, which is a preferential etcher. After reformulating the process and by using appropriate abrasive slurries and process controls, as described below, we were able to reduce the peak to valley heights to below 1 micro-inch globally.
The required sphericity and surface quality was achieved with a special combination of lap material and slurry, as well as a close control of the slurry acidity. The inadequate surface quality obtained on silicon with phenolic laps prompted us to return to pitch laps. Empirically, it was finally possible to identify a combination of factors which produced a particular condition on the silicon surface, leading in turn to a uniform polishing action. The best results were obtained when the pH was 6.7 and the surface wetting was minimal, which apparently minimizes chemical action. With the pitch laps there was less tendency to wet the silicon surface; in fact, the film of slurry would break up and it was necessary to deliver the slurry to each lap separately in order to guarantee that each lap was always wet.
We manufactured gyroscope rotors in both fused silica and single crystal silicon. The rotors deviated from the perfect sphere by less then 1 micro inch (25 nm) peak to valley. The shape of the rotors was measured and represented by an expansion in spherical harmonics (see Fig. 9) To study the effects of the shape on the motion of the gyroscope one also uses spherical harmonics. Based on the requirements of the experiment, it is possible to establish specifications for the spherical harmonics coefficients and the coefficients obtained from the rotor measurements had to satisfy these specifications. The maximum peak to valley height for the L=2 component was specified to be less than 1 micro inch (25 nm), and for higher values of L, either L even (4£L£16 ) or odd (3£L£15), less than 0.7 micro inch (~18 nm).
It was found that for silicon spheres the crystalline structure contributes mostly to the L=4 harmonic and therefore this was the most difficult specification to satisfy. The best results obtained for the sum of the deviations due to the even harmonics L>2 were 0.3 to 0.4 micro inch (8 to 10 nm). Somewhat better results were obtained for the sum of the deviations due to the odd harmonics, which were typically 0.3 micro-inch (8 nm). This includes approximately 0.1 micro inch (2.5 nm) of residual uncorrected spindle error. For L=2 the peak to valley height was typically less then 0.5 micro inch (12nm). For overall sphericity, the best results were 0.6 to 0.7 micro-inch (15 to 18 nm).
Twelve fused silica spheres and eight silicon spheres were fabricated, satisfying all the requirements for the experiment. After extensive testing of all completed gyroscope spheres, two silicon and two fused silica gyroscope spheres were selected for the scientific mission.
There are other applications where spheres of similar precision are needed. Examples include silicon spheres for a precise determination of Avogadro's number and one kilogram silicon spheres to replace the present weight standard (see ref.21) We expect that the experience gained in this work will also prove useful in other applications.
From Angele's work to the time the spheres for the relativity mission were ready, many people contributed to the effort. We would like to thank all of them, but some should be mentioned by name. Prof. J. Turneaure was a leader in the experiment and much involved in the early days when the laboratory and the project were established. Several students worked under his guidance in developing measurements and analysis software (ref.15). Prof. D.DeBra was always at hand and his Precision Engineering class students, year after year made substantial contributions. Dr. De yu Pan was involved in setting up, performing and analyzing the first measurements. Engineer Ted Ale contribured many designs which were instrumental for the success. Mr. T. Van Hooydonk produced very good fused silica spheres using the original polishing machines. Two graduate students C.Willish and M.Bleckmann (ref.22) and one undergraduate student B.DiDonna (ref.14) completed their theses while working in the laboratory. Student D.Schwartz wrote program which runs Stanford polishing machine.

Virginia's oldest woman dies
Virginia's oldest woman dies
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. —
Virginia's oldest woman, Maggie Margaret Montague James, has died at age 112.
Cedell Brooks Funeral Home in Port Royal says James died Friday. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Third Mount Zion Baptist Church in Woodford.
James was born March 10, 1900 in Woodford. She lived there until 2000, when she moved to the Bowling Green Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Her granddaughter, Vernessa Ware, tells The Free Lance-Star that following the doctor's orders was the key to James' longevity.
Ware says James stuck with a strict diet that a doctor put her on in the 1930s because she had high blood pressure. She ate mainly chicken and fish, no pork and very little salt.

Eric's Hometown
Baltimore, Maryland
Eric and the city of Baltimore are up first, and Rachel practices her running jump into hugs and kisses so she can nail it for the remainder of the hometown dates. These two rendezvous in a touristy part of town, but Eric reminds Rachel this is not his neighborhood, it's just the spot ABC chose to snag some "candid" footage. After shooting some hoops in Eric's neck of the woods, these cuties head to Eric's aunt's house. The welcome that Eric and Rachel received had me full body smiling. Applause and cheering and hugs and kisses. It was the best welcome nervous Rachel could have gotten. The drab carnation bouquet Rachel gifted them was not even close to worthy of the love and energy of Eric's family. Come on ABC, everyone deserves nice flowers. Keep a goddamn cooler in the cameraman truck and stock that shit with flush, vibrant, floral arrangements for fuck's sake.
It was clear the network wanted the viewer to focus on the fact that Eric has never brought a girl home; however, the necessary and poignant conversation Rachel had with smiley, woke Aunt Verna stole the show. Verna asks Rachel about being the first black bachelorette. Rachel opens up and shares that it's particularly tough because she feels she is being judged for whom she is going to choose by the black community as well as everybody else. Rachel says that love doesn't have a color, and her experience should be the same as the 12 bachelorettes that came before her. For Rachel this experience has been a lesson in focusing on her end goal and not concerning herself with everyone else's two cents.
Honestly, this entire season was an opportunity to educate a mostly white audience by showing conversations like the one between Verna and Rachel. Take this reality show down documentary lane for a sec and teach us about what judgments are being passed on Rachel by the black community and where those feelings originate. Explore what it means for a black woman to date outside of her race versus a black man to date outside of his race, or the idea that the worldwide standard for beauty is a thin, white woman. Show us what being black means for Rachel, and what being black means for the black men on the show. Instead ABC took this season as a chance to include a racist to incite drama and completely brush over #blackgirlmagic and blackness in general. There's gotta be drama, but this is some hateful shit. I am left craving more Aunt Verna conversations, and I'm bitter that this is the first time we are catching a glimpse of them.
Eric remains loving and professional throughout his conversations with his mother and father despite the fact they are the source of his pain. Eric's mom explains her lack of demonstrative and supportive love was actually her way of encouraging Eric to be a strong, independent man. Damn. Eric's dad apologizes for putting through Eric some shit. He fights back tears as he tells his son how much he admires him for remaining on the straight and narrow and learning from the mistakes of his male family members. Not the ideal circumstances to grow up in, but there is still a lot of love in this family. Eric's commitment to positivity and strong work ethic is admirable and undeniable.
After saying goodbye to the fam, Eric says that he really cares about Rachel. It's not quite an "I love you," but Rachel's feelings for Eric keep growing and growing.
"Love changes everybody."
Bryan's Hometown
Miami, Florida
Rachel runs and jumps into Bryan's mouth, and in between kisses he welcomes her to Miami in English and in Spanish. Bryan shows her the real Miami. They play dominos with some old Colombian men, they buy fedoras, they eat arepas, they salsa dance and smash their heads into each other by accident, the usual. Rach and Bryan have a little chat where he preps her on his parents, because the last GF did not vibe with Mama. Bryan is an only child. His mother is Colombian. You do the math.
As soon as they arrive with an ostentatious lily studded bouquet, Mom runs to Bryan and embraces him. Bryan quickly forces her into a group hug with Rachel. Yikes. Mom then gives a toast to the most precious thing in her life, Bryan, and then she chugs her drink whilst crying. Mom is staring Rachel down with piercing eyes and maniacal smile as she claims her territory. We are now in a telenoleva. Mom pulls Bryan aside and she immediately calls bullshit on this whole escapade. She's like, yo, you have met so many chics, and now you go on TV and fall in love with the girl on the show? Bryan describes it as destiny, but mom is not buying it. She reminds Bryan that family is first, and that she is blood and the most important. Are you puking yet? Break up with your men, everybody. This is honestly such a motivator to remain single.
Mom then talks to Rachel and warns her that if she wants Bryan all to herself, it ain't gonna work. She then says that as long as Bryan is happy, she will be happy, but if Bryan is not happy, she will kill Rachel. Rachel laughs. Mom doesn't. This woman is out for blood. Rachel was smart and didn't take the bait and try to reason with her. Instead, Rachel assures her that she is also a family gal, and she respects how fam comes first. My blood pressure is sky high.
In a private moment outside Mom's house while centimeters away from Rachel's face, Bryan tells Rachel he is in love with her. This is the time to put your heart on the line, and he went above and beyond. Rachel is dying to say it back, but she'll get her chance at the finale when he gets down on one knee.
Peter's Hometown
Madison, Wisconsin
This whole thing was boring. Peter and Rachel troll the farmer's market in Madison, suck on some honey sticks, chomp on some pickles, and hang out with Peter's friends, i.e.: the people who hold the most weight in Peter's heart. It's nice that he loves his friends, but this whole thing just felt like an opportunity for Peter's black guy friends to call him open and accepting in front of their white girlfriends and Rachel. These guys are all set with the antics of the show as they are forced into a guys only convo about feelings and the future. Words of advice from one of his friends: Don't fuck it up. Noted.
Rachel and Peter walk hand in hand into Peter's parents house with purple irises and some wrapped presents for Peter's niece and nephew. The best part of this hometown was watching Peter interact with the kiddos. Rachel's ovaries were shrieking. Bottom line, Rach has a one-track mind, and she interrogates the fam on Peter's readiness for marriage. His mom thinks that he's ready for commitment but maybe not ready to throw a ring on it. Big Rach has to decide what is more important: the label of being engaged, or knowing you've found someone you want to re-enter the real world with to build something strong and real?
On the stoop of his house, Peter shares that he is really happy with how the day went. Happy ain't enough, Peter. You're on thin ice, boy.
Dean's Hometown
Aspen, Colorado
Dean, or "my beautiful surprise" as Rachel calls him, is all smiles when he sees Rachel. After a lighthearted RV sesh, these two have a serious chat about Dean getting together with his family after not speaking to his recently Sikh rebranded father, Paramroop, for two years. With a bouquet of mountainside wildflowers in hand, Rachel and Dean enter Paramroop's sacred space. This is the first time in eight years Dean's entire family is under one roof, and lucky for them this whole thing is being captured on camera. Paramroop kicks off the visit by energetically cleansing the home with his trusty gong, and poor Dean is a bundle of nerves.
Through choked back tears Paramroop gifts Rachel and Dean feathers as symbol of his late wife, Debbie. It's been a decade, but the pain is still raw. Dean tries to air out some of his pent up resentment, but the chat with Dad is not as productive as it needed to be. Paramroop was at a complete loss over the death of his wife, and the only thing he knew how to do was go out and earn a living for his family. He accuses Dean of being stuck in the past and dismisses this necessary conversation. He is clinging to his newfound religion and lifestyle to focus on being present, but it looks like some therapy to dig up that buried trauma is also something to consider…Rachel tries to get some 1:1 time with Paramroop and he's not having it. He looks over and catches the camera recording their interactions and calls it off. He wishes her well, but he's not going to play the game that ABC wants him to play. Dude, that is so legit.
Some things I've learned from our visit to Aspen:
- Suppressing emotions is not a long-term solution for mental health.
- It's entirely unproductive to force a façade of strength upon someone in leiu of encouraging emotional expression. Men get this shit all the time, and it's clearly not going so well. Just ask Dean and Paramroop. All human beings have emotional reactions to the experiences they go through in their lives, and for emotional expression to be deemed as weak leaves no space to actually just feel how you fucking feel and then move the fuck on.
We are back in Dallas where Rachel has to bid farewell to one of these gorgeous men. We were waiting for hesitant Peter to get the axe, and we were excited that Rachel told Dean to his face that she is falling for him. And just like that we are smacked in the face with some classic misdirection, and baby Dean is left without a rose. I am still in mourning. I think that his journey with Rachel and with his family on the show took a lot out of Dean. His nervousness and vulnerability ultimately made him the most human contestant this season, and it's why we all love the kid. I hope to God he remains just as lovely in Paradise.
Hang in there, Bachelor Nation, and make sure to talk about how you feel to those you hold dear. See you in Spain next week.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House, responding to hearings on Capitol Hill about contacts between officials in Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia, said on Tuesday there was no evidence of collusion between Trump's team and Moscow.
Testifying before a House panel, former CIA director John Brennan said he was aware of contacts between Russian officials and people involved in the Trump campaign and grew concerned that Moscow had sought to lure Americans down "a treasonous path."
Dan Coats, the Director of National Intelligence, was questioned in separate testimony before a Senate panel over a report in the Washington Post that Trump asked Coats to help him knock down the notion there was evidence of collusion.
Coats sidestepped the question but said he has made clear to Trump's administration that "any political shaping" of intelligence would be inappropriate.
In a statement to reporters, a White House official said the hearings showed "there is still no evidence of any Russia-Trump campaign collusion."
Trump, who is in Rome on his first overseas trip as president, has been embroiled in controversy since his firing earlier this month of Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey amid the agency's investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

Wow, what an amazing amount and variety of area rugs! I spent time - a lot of time - on World of Rugs' Web site searching for three area rugs for a new home and found exactly what I was looking for. After narrowing my search online, I visited the store and settled on two of my three online contenders. The staff was extremely helpful and patient when I decided against my third choice. I could say things like, "I'm looking for something with just a little bit more of a mustard color, and a splash more of a moss green, and in this kind of pattern - etc." and they knew exactly what I meant and would quickly show me rugs that meant my criteria. They helped me find a perfect third rug at a very competitive price. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Quality area rugs at competitive prices. Very prompt, free delivery of one rug that wasn't in stock. I plan on returning to check out their other furnishings.

We went to World of Rugs & Carpet to find rugs for our new home. The salesperson spent time helping us with sizes, colors, patterns, tying rooms together, etc. Very helpful, a good experience.
Wow! I couldn't believe all of the rugs in this place. They truly had it all from shag to sisal, to oriental. The prices were low just as all of their adds claim. It was truly hard to narrow it down they had so much to choose from. We were there for nearly 2 1/2 hours and the salespeople were very patient and spent a lot of time with us. We finally made our choice and plan to go back in a couple of months when we redo our master bedroom.
My husband and I recently bought a new house and went to World of Rugs & Carpet to get a good idea for some rugs for our new home. We thought we would only walk in to get an idea, but ended up walking out the door with 3 rugs! They had so many different choices and their personnel made me feel "home". We fell in love with a few rugs and when we seen the prices, we decided not to look any further. Thank you Wold of Rugs & Carpet! They look great in our new home. D.K.

Patna: Nagaland Governor Nikhil Kumar
today lauded the NDA government for doing good work in Bihar`s
development but suggested the state should also take the
feedback from social networking sites as well.
The state should seek feedback from opinion-makers on
the social networking sites like Twitter and incorporate their
ideas in the development process, the former MP from
Aurangabad constituency, said at a seminar `Governance in
India : Challenges and Responses` here.
While NDA was basking in the glory of a massive
mandate to run the affairs of Bihar, political stability was
not the only yardstick for development of a state, but
engagement with right thinking people did serve the purpose in
planning and formulating strategies for allround development,
he said.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar must also set up a
mechanism to acknowledge inputs put out by people on
development issues and reply to any letter by an individual on
the matter, the Governor said.
The suggestions by the people should be duly
acknowledged as part public interaction mechanism in addition
with the `Janata Darbar` exercise, Kumar said while lauding
the NDA government "for doing good works to usher in
development in Bihar."
The former Lok Sabha MP from Aurangabad recalled that
he had himself given certain suggestions to the state
government on the planning for infrastructure development of
the state capital.
His suggestions entailed measures for inviting
private investment for development of Patna, but he had not
received any response from the state government, Nikhil Kumar
Senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil
Kumar Modi attributed Bihar`s backwardness to political
instability for over four decades till the NDA came to power
in 2005 and stemmed the rot.
Bihar witnessed political instability since the first
Chief Minister Sri Krishna Singh lost power in 1961 and the
process continued till the last days of the RJD-led rule in
early 2000 to lose out on development, said.
He said there was "simply no vision of development"
among those who ruled the state during this period.
However, the NDA government headed by the Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar has taken Bihar on the path of
development and put in place review and monitoring mechanism
from the state headquarters to the ground level, the Deputy
Chief Minister said, claiming the results were already showing
at both micro and macro levels.
Senior journalist Swapan Dasgupta emphasized on the
need for good governance with ideological neutrality to carry
out development in right spirit and in larger public interest.
The governments should provide good governance and
ensure ideological neutrality for expeditious development all
across the country, he said.
"Unfortunately, the planning process has become
highly centralized over the years and the governments in-power
have been guided by populism to set out development agendas,"
Dasgupta underscored.
The seminar was organised by the Asian Development
Research Institute.
