There is an important Siva temple located at this site. It is on the
right bank of the Suvarnamukhi River, 27km northeast of Tirupati, between
the two hills, Sripuram and Mummudicholapuram, which form part of the
Sesha Sailam Hills.
Kalahastiswara Temple
This important temple, dedicated to Lord Siva, has one of the elemental
lingas, the Vayu (air) Linga. There is a lamp inside the inner sanctum
that is constantly flickering, despite the lack of air movement inside.
The air-linga can be observed to move even when the pujaris close off
the entrance to the main deity room, which has no windows. You can see
the flames on several ghee lamps flicker as if blown by moving air.
The linga is white and is considered Swayambhu, or self-manifested.
The main linga is untouched by human hands, including the priests'.
Abhisheka (bathing) is done by pouring a mixture of water, milk, camphor,
and panchamrita. Sandal paste, flowers, and the sacred thread are offered
to the utsava-murti, not the main linga.
This temple is one of the most impressive Siva temples in India. It
features an enormous, ancient gopuram over the main gate. The tower
is 36.5m (120 feet) high. The entire temple is carved out of the side
of a huge stone hill. King Krishnadeva Raya built it in 1516.
Inside the temple you will find the tremendously ornate and splendid
architecture for which South India is famous. Elaborately designed pillars,
altars, and paraphernalia abound.
The temple's main entrance faces south, although the deity faces
west. There is an interesting underground temple dedicated to Ganesh
(Ganapati) named Patala Vinayaka, which is 10m (33 ft) beneath the ground.
The goddess here is called Jnana Prasannambha and is said to be the
sister of Lord Venkateswara at the Tirumala temple. She is said to give
supreme knowledge (jnana) to those who worship her.
The Suvarnamukhi River is a sacred river, said to have been brought
to earth by Agastya Muni. It is also called Uttara Vahini, because at
this place it flows south to north, which is unusual. It is dry most
of the year. You can climb to the top of the nearby Nagor Hill (1040
m) and get a good view of the area.
By purchasing a special darshan ticket (Rs 10) you wait about 10 minutes
instead of an hour on a normal day to view the Vayu Linga.
Temple Story
The main linga is in the shape of an elephant trunk, with tusks on each
side and a figure of a spider at the bottom. If you look at the linga
from the top, it resembles a snake with five hoods. The spider is call
"Sri," the snake "Kala," and the elephant "Hasti."
The three names combine together to form the name "Srikalahasti."
It is said that the spider wove a web above the linga to protect it
from the sun and rain. The elephant would get water with its trunk and
bath the linga (perform abhishek) and the snake would also worship the
Lord. The snake was not aware that the elephant and spider were also
worshiping the Lord. One day the snake found bilva leaves and water
near the Lord. He thought that someone was trying to harm the Lord,
so he surrounded the Lord to protect him. When the elephant came the
next day to worship the Lord, the snake thought he was trying to harm
the Lord, so he entered his trunk. Unable to handle the pain, the elephant
dashed his trunk against the linga, killing both the snake and the spider.
Then the elephant himself died. Lord Siva was satisfied with the devotion
of all three and offered them all liberation.
Kalahasti is surrounded by two sacred hills. The Durgamba Temple is
on the northern hill. On the southern hill is the shrine of Kannabeswara,
a memorial to the sage Kannappa, who offered Lord Siva one of his eyes.
When he tried to offer his other eye as well, the Lord mercifully stopped
him. There is also a temple dedicated to Subrahmanya on one of the surrounding

The Xinhua website has nominated its Top Ten Cover Female Stars of 2010, based on appearances on the covers of the Chinese editions of leading fashion magazines. It can be taken as a measure of a star's popularity, and provides an overview of who's currently considered the most glamorous/stylish/photogenic in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Nine of the ten stars are actors, the other a singer. Reflecting the growing dominance of the Chinese mainland in entertainment, eight of the ten are mainland stars, one was born on the mainland before moving to Hong Kong as a teenager, and the other is from Taiwan.
Zhou Xun (周迅)
The 34 year old actress, who CNN once dubbed "China's Queen of Quirk" was red hot in 2009, winning Best Actress awards at the Golden Roosters and Asian Film Awards. In 2010 she appeared in two films, the historical biopic Confucious and Hong Kong martial arts movie True Legend, neither of which had much of an impact at the box office. This year she's set to star alongside several other leading Chinese actresses in another historical epic, about the famous Yang Lady Generals. A well-known story from Chinese history, about a group of Song Dynasty women who set out to avenge their husbands killed on the battlefield.
Zhao Wei (赵薇)
Despite her likeable screen persona and comic gifts, the 34 year old Zhao Wei has had an often bumpy relationship with the Chinese public. She took a break from filming in 2010 as she became a mother for the first time. As well as celebrating motherhood she was awarded Best Actress at both the Shanghai Film Critics Awards and One Hundred Flowers Awards for her performance in Mulan. Also in 2010 her most recent film, 14 Blades, was released, although to lukewarm reviews. Her next film will be the time-travelling romantic drama, Underground Resistance.
Li Bingbing (李冰冰)
A year ago the 34 year old Li Bingbing topped a successful 2009 with the Best Actress Award for The Message at Taiwan's prestigious Golden Horse Awards. She had another hit movie in 2010 with the action mystery Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, but bombed out with the Hong Kong thriller Triple Tap. This year she will star for the first time in an English language film, Wayne Wang's Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Will it be the breakout movie that turns her into an international star?
Zhang Ziyi (章子怡)
2010 was a quiet year filmwise for the 31 year old, though she still featured prominently in the news headlines. Early in the year she was embroiled in controversy over claims she failed to donate all the money she had pledged to Sichuan earthquake relief efforts. She later apologised and made up the shortfall, which was blamed on an error by her brokers. And the year ended with an announcement that her engagement with billionaire Vivi Nevo was over. On the positive side, she was named CineAsia's Actress of the Decade at a Hong Kong industry trade fair. This year she will appear in Wong Kar-Wai's latest film, a martial arts epic called The Grandmasters, as well as an English-language version of Mulan.
Fan Bingbing (范冰冰)
The in-demand actress (12 films plus 1 TV series completed or in the pipeline in the three year period 2009-11) is the youngest of the ten stars at 29 years old. She recently won Best Actress at the Tokyo Film Festival for Buddha Mountain, and will also star in the much anticipated martial arts blockbuster, Shaolin, alongside Andy Lau and Jacky Chan, as well as the new Chen Kaige historical drama, Sacrifice. She was just recently named at number one in a list of young rich and famous Chinese celebrities (link here, but in Chinese). More awards could soon be on the way.
Wang Fei (王菲)
41 year old Beijing born but Hong Kong raised Wang Fei is the only non-actor on the list. The iconic pop diva famous for her other-worldly voice and haunting ballads came out of semi-retirement in 2010. She appeared at the Spring Festival Gala performance, a Chinese New Year tradition that attracts hundreds of millions of viewers every year. She also sang the theme song for the Confucious soundtrack, and embarked on a sell-out concert tour in Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei and Hong Kong.
Tang Wei (汤唯)
Another comeback queen of sorts, 31 year old Tang Wei achieved notoriety back in 2007 with the film Lust, Caution. In the film she bared all for some explicit sex scenes, then fell foul of conservative sections of the Chinese government and media. She found herself unofficially blacklisted and disappeared from the spotlight. Her penance apparently served, she returned to the screen in 2009 with the romantic comedy Crossing Hennessy, a role which earned her a Best Actress nomination at the Golden Horse Awards. In 2010 she starred alongside Korean star Hyun Bin in the US production Late Autumn, a love story between two immigrants in America. Her rehabilitation now complete, she will star alongside other big-name Chinese actresses in the upcoming Yang Lady Generals movie.
Shu Qi (舒淇)
The 34 year-old Taiwanese actress has made one of cinema's most remarkable transformations, from soft-corn porn starlet to critically acclaimed mainstream leading lady. Her latest film, the romantic comedy If You Are The One 2, is vying with Aftershock and Let the Bullets Fly for the honour of China's biggest grossing film of all time. Last year she was also nominated for a Best Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for another rom-com, Look For A Star. On a less successful note, she also appeared in the heavily panned City Under Siege, and the lukewarmly-received martial arts actioner Legend of the Fist.
Xu Jinglei (徐静蕾)
Actress, director and blogger (she writes one of the world's most visited blogs according to Technocrati), the 38 year old is known for her acting versatility. In 2010 she directed and starred in the romantic comedy Go Lala Go, which she also adapted from a best-selling novel. She'll next appear in Eternal Moment, a romantic drama that will be released, fittingly, on Valentine's Day. It's the sequel to a 1998 TV drama series, Cherish Our Love Forever, the show that gave Xu her first break. Other original cast members will also return for the sequel.
Zhang Jingchu (张静初)
The 30 year old Fujian-born actress has long been touted as a candidate for superstardom, though her preference for roles in arthouse productions ahead of blockbusters has hindered her progress. She has appeared in more populist fare of late, including the biggest movie of 2010, Aftershock. Her shift to the mainstream wasn't all smooth sailing however - she also starred in two shockers, Flirting Scholar 2 and City Under Siege.

Commenting on a recent Economists article titled "The Return of the Mainframe," Gregg Willhoit explains how IBM's improvements for servicing the cloud have positively impacted the Progress DataDirect Shadow product. This podcast runs for 1:48.
Gregg Willhoit:
I think that what IBM has done for cloud computing has impacted Progress DataDirect Shadow twofold. One has to do with, from the management aspect, the management of services, the management of workloads, moving across the cloud. IBM has given vendors the ability to do this, to basically more easily dynamically configure their applications to run in the cloud, more easily manage them in the cloud as they move from system to system.
And secondly, from a TCO standpoint, IBM has understood that many of these cloud-based computing environments are going to be standards-based. And so IBM has done a very good job of making standards?based APIs or interfaces eligible for zip offload. And if not, then they've allowed vendors such as us, Progress Data Direct, the products like Shadow, to achieve a really, really significant benefit in the TCO area with regards to standards-based access to all the mainframe computing assets.
Because cloud computing is definitely dependent upon standards-based access. There's no two ways about it.

After a late night in Houston (see our day 1 recap here), we got an early start to San Antonio! I have wanted to go there since I was little so I was so excited!
The roads in Texas are very layered and intricate like this which we found really cool!
So excited!
The view from our room at the Hilton Palacio del Rio! We splurged this night and stayed on the River Walk and it was totally worth it. We had a great view!
As soon as we checked in we headed out to check out the river walk!
Like a kid in a candy store!!
We decided to start our day with one of the river cruises to see the whole river and learn about the history!
I was impressed by how much we learned on this cruise and we were able to see the whole layout and get an idea of what we wanted to do!
We decided on Rita's on the River for lunch and it was delicious!
So much fun walking the whole thing with this guy!
We decided to head over and check out The Alamo! We only had one day & night in San Antonio so we didn't take the official tour. We just wandered the grounds and read some of the information but it was so cool to see a part of history we learned about in school!
I loved these big, beautiful trees on the property!
We spent most of the afternoon walking along the river. We ended up walking more than 10 miles (I think 13 or 14 to be exact) but we saw the whole thing and really enjoyed our beautiful day!
We ate at Paesanos for dinner & it was amazing!! It was the perfect romantic dinner on the river that we were looking to have.
Such a pretty night!
The next morning we woke up to a really chilly day!! They had also turned on the Christmas lights over the river for the Christmas season too. They have an annual Christmas parade of floats the weekend after Thanksgiving which I think would be so cool to see. We were so glad we had gotten there the day before when it was warm so we could really enjoy being outside.
San Antonio was amazing but it was time to head to Waco & on to Arlington!

General Budget Framework Document
Preliminary Draft
March 5, 2009
III. Principles for the Budget Reduction Process
The principles governing the development of proposals for budget reductions are set forth in a separate document entitled "Principles Governing Budget Reductions?" [hereinafter Principles Document]. It previously has been reviewed by the Academic Planning Committee and the Academic Senate Executive Committee and presented to the Academic Senate for comments.
The Principles Document requires that budget reductions be the product of considered judgments and relate to the priorities of the University and the goal of positioning the University to continue its upward momentum. Such judgments must be informed by relevant data but cannot be exclusively data-driven. Ultimately, these decisions, like those relating to budget enhancements, require judgments formed after broad consultation and discussion with the University community.
The ultimate principle in fashioning budget reduction recommendations is to leave the University in as strong a position as circumstances permit. Decisions should be consistent with the Strategic Framework adopted by the Board of Regents, the President's recent communication establishing principles for reductions, UNL's Strategic Compass, and the strategic plans of the various units. Across-the-board reductions do not reflect thoughtful application of University priorities and ultimately have the effect of weakening all units of the University. However, budget reductions in recent years have reduced considerably the opportunity to identify units that are peripheral to the core missions of the University since many of those were eliminated in earlier budget reductions. The intention remains to effectuate targeted reductions in order to preserve the University's core strengths.

Talk:Computing access restrictions
Let the discussion begin!
Restrictions on multiple conditions
What about a method like used on Proposed_features/Access_restrictions: the idea is to make a relation syntax for access rules, and to have a proper way of translating the tags we now have like bicycle=yes into this relation syntax -- as we need to look for a relation solution anyway to get more complex restrictions.
The idea is than that the access algorithm works like:
- translate tags to relations and add those to the access relations of which the way is a member
- get input from the user (if known) (vehicle type, vehicle size and weight, time of day and date, weather...)
- work out in which country that way is, and use that to load the set of access translation rules (implied restrictions, the vehicle types that have meaning in that country, etc) that are valid in that country.
- answer the question whether you can enter a road with "yes" or "no". If we have insufficient data (we don't know the time for example): present both to the user.
- also give the extra conditions (maximum speed, allowed to overtake other cars, ...) that you have to obey on the way (again, when it varies and we have insufficient info, present all options to the user)
Of course, this needs a lot of work to be defined, and can be quite hard in practice:
- what's a moped in country X could be classified as motorcycle in country Y. This is not straight forward to solve.
- if a road can't be driven on when there's snow, how could a router know if it can route over it or not when it's not clear if there's snow or not when calculating the route.
- and much more of these...
-- Eimai 12:54, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Frankly, I do think that it is very complex and yet won't be enough. I come from a mathematical logic background, so I always use that language. That page proposes a sort of boolean logic for restrictions, where access restrictions are expressed as formulas in disjunctive normal form: each relation is a conjunct, i.e. it applies only if all its conditions are satisfied. If a restriction relation applies, then some properties hold (e.g. it's oneway, or private). What I would propose is even more complex but ultimately simpler: let's define a special logic whose connectives are AND, OR, etc. and whose predicates are access mode attributes (e.g. vehicle, car, etc.), properties (e.g. length, occupancy) and time (monday, night, etc.): the result of the formula should be an access restrictions, e.g. private, yes, designated. We should then define a semantics for that logic, that is an algorithm for evaluating such a formula in a concrete setting (a specific vehicle at a specific date/time) which yields the corresponding access restriction. That is, a "generic restriction" must be a logical proposition of the form R(vehicle, time) such that, if I evaluate it with a specific vehicle V and a specific time T, R(V,T) = yes (or no or designated or whatever) FedericoCozzi 15:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- What do you mean with "present both to the user."? In a map you could have hovering notes but in a router there is no way to ask the user for any significant number of the millions of ways searched for a usual route. --MarcusWolschon 09:45, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- You have to give all the possible options to whatever program wants to know the access restrictions. This can be the gps in someone's car displaying both options when getting to such a road, or a router that could ask the user additional information when required (or let it just do a "safe assumption"). But if you can't tell from the parameters given (e.g. vehicle type, date) whether you can enter a road or not, or what its maxspeed is, you just have to give all the options that are left back to the program that requests it. --Eimai 12:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- The existing solution I've tried have hidden all the options in the device settings (with safe or sane assumptions), except for the permission to use toll roads, for which some devices present a question when the optimal route does include toll roads. Even the toll road avoidance is accessible only through the settings menu in some devices. Sane assumptions are left to implementers, for now, but a reference page could be created for them, if anyone wants to do so. Alv 16:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Pyramide Structure
Isn't this more readable than the example on the front page?
|motor vehicle
|unmotorized vehicle
|| motorcycle
This is only a suggested structure. --Skippern 15:40, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- This is definitely more readable but it has a drawback: the tree structure is not enforced. In your example above, horse inherits both from vehicle and from foot. While this may be a mistake, the problem remains: such layout does not enforce the tree condition, i.e. that every node as at most one parent. See below for another layout which however has the same problem. FedericoCozzi 17:56, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- It was meant as an example, if you tilt it 90degrees, than it can be read similarly as your tree, I don't know how to merge rows in wiki tables, but you can play around with it. The most important is to have an easy readable illustration of what you are thinking, that can easily exported and edited to fit various countries. I don't like that bullet list when we are going to illustrate various systems though. I see very well what you are thinking, I am only trying to find a better way to illustrate it. --Skippern 18:02, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your comment, I am glad that someone understood what I wrote and wanted to improve on it! I think that I should completely remove the table and instead draw a real tree with a graphic program. Stay tuned for an improvement. Thanks for your advice. --FedericoCozzi 21:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Another lay out with same goal
I made a related proposal here. Basically my point of view is that any grouping system must be computable by software, otherwise it's useless. Moreover, a routing software is not really interested in the grouping system per se, but only in its effects on access restrictions: if I write a routing software, my only question is this: "can a taxi drive on a Belgian highway=tertiary which is tagged as psv=no?" I provided a generic algorithm which could work in any country and which needs, as parameters, a grouping system and a set of default access restrictions. However the algorithm can work only if the grouping system is a tree, not a directed acyclic graph. FedericoCozzi 14:31, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
- The grouping system we created here is also (mainly?) intended for access restrictions. As of now, if you look closer, it is a tree. But the representation look more like a star for cosmetics reasons. As of computable, I don't see why it wouldn't be. But showing it as a picture is much more easy for people to understand what "vehicule=yes" will mean if they find "vehicule" in a tree. Use of this tree will of course need a more computable form, just like the table you created. The goal here is to define keywords which define a precise "moving thing". When well defined, it would be easier to apply restrictions. Sletuffe 11:07, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm moving to Talk:Computing access restrictions in order to gather the discussion in one place, I'm copying this part there as well Sletuffe 11:31, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
From Proposed_features/Any_moving_thing_grouping_system :
Please keep the discussion here so we don't monitor 3 pages Sletuffe 11:26, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
- Nice that you put boats into the equation, though you should differ between large ships, fishing vessels, and private vessels, as they might have different restrictions (specially in ports, not so much on waterways). Taxi might be put under psv, or as motorcar. Agricultural might be further divided, would rather rename it to special purpose to include forestry, mining, etc. Do not see much point in dividing man and woman though. Isn't Wheelchair the same as handicapped? I disagree that a skier is under a vehicle group, he should rather be classified as pedestrian, specially when talking about cross country. Also, bicycle can be both a veicle or a pedestrian, depending on national definitions. --Skippern 14:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- The boat was just an example, I'd hoped that if the idea is good, much aware people (like your name or user page suggest ;-) ) might contribute the leafs bellow the "boat" category.
- For the taxi case, I would first put it in the common denominator of countries (ie : in it's own leaf) but that can be discussed. In france we have roads where taxis are allowed and Buses aren't and vice-versa. I don't mind tagging taxi=yes and bus=no instead of psv=yes if France is a special case.
- For man and woman, I went far ! To show the tree idea might even be extended to toilets. In a general pedestrian area, I would tag foot=yes, but a men's toilets or a mosque would be tagged as access=no + man=yes
- handicapped I didn't add this one, I don't know what Phobie meant by that
- skier, no problem, might me moved to another branch. But not pedestrians, as for example ski slopes are forbidden to pedestrians so I would tag them access=no + ski=yes (well that case is tough as it's season variating then access=no + ski:winter=yes + byclycle:simmer=yes or something like that )
- For country dependancy, my point is still to give, in one way or another, the database a hint about country specific values. Since countries with different juridiction about bycycle exists, I would put them appart and tag bicycle=yes+foot=yes for those cases. (Either directly in the database, or as interpretation defaults by routing software or as per-country post-processing of the osm database) Sletuffe 16:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Just to continue on the skier, most cross country ski tracks in Norway are footways, paths, or roads of less significance and access restrictions in the summer time, thus the skier should be allowed where foot=yes is tagged unless a ski=no is present, I am not saying that ski=yes should imply foot=yes either. In Brazil where I live, snow is non-existent so the problem about the skier is not valid here.
- Boat access should be divided as follows: ships, fishing vessels, yachts, sailing vessels, with the values yes, no or isps. Yachts would mean private boats such as small cabin cruisers, open dingies, or yachts. ISPS refers to the International Ship and Port Facility Security regulation, which all international shipping have to adhere to, at least in most of the world. --Skippern 17:45, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Alternative evaluation model
I put an alternative model on the Key:access page before someone pointed me to this page - I'll remove it from there, the text is included below. AFAICT the difference is that with this model, access=no + some other tags gives the same results independent of the highway type i.e. highway default access is more easily overridden. This was a bit how I expect access tags to work, but maybe it has drawbacks, I'm not sure yet. The algorithm can be simplified because the strict separation between transportation modes and transportation mode categories is likely not needed. It is very limited in access values because I wrote it for gosmore which AFAIK only supports these 3 values when routing, other values are mapped to those 3. --Cjw 23:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
The result of evaluating access tags for ways following this method is:
- for each transportation mode (so not for categories), two values:
- forward: yes/no/destination
- backward: yes/no/destination
- initialize the result such that it allows any tranportation mode (
yesfor all)
- look up country specific defaults for this highway type, and apply them in the order of explicit tags, see below
- evaluate oneway tag, if present:
- if
oneway=yes, apply
vehicle:backward=no, see below
- if
oneway=-1, apply
vehicle:forward=no, see below
- if
- for each category:
vehicle, etc. from generic to specific:
- if <category>=x, apply x to all modes in <category> for both forward and backward
- if <category>:forward=x, apply x to all modes in <category> for forward only
- if <category>:backward=x, apply x to all modes in <category> for backward only
- for each transportation mode, in any order:
- if <transportation mode>=x, apply x to that mode for both forward and backward
- if <transportation mode>:forward=x, apply x to that mode for forward only
- if <transportation mode>:backward=x, apply x to that mode for backward only
A highway=path is tagged access=no, bicycle=designated, foot=designated. Did the tagger mean:
With the above model, the result is horse=no.
Access inheritance given existence of Lanes
This is a topic area I haven't really seen explored. It took some digging to find this page, which essentially is the how to hierarchically compute the access for mode of travel X, given tags on object Y. As this topic has matured, however, so has a fairly locked down proposal to determine additional access characteristics per lane on a way, as seen in Lanes.
Consider a typical motorway in the United States, with an HOV restricted left lane, and additional (freely traversable lanes).
Bayshore freeway, Sunnyvale, California, USA Oh, and for the purposes of this discussion, let's NOT worry about the time restrictions.
So, we will assume this is a four lane freeway whose leftmost lane is restricted to hov and bus at all times.
What we really want here is for ONLY buses and hov vehicles to be able to use the left lane. So, now we get to the heart of the matter, and the reason for this question. What happens, then, if we're explicit in other logical ways with respect to 'lanes' - which 'wins'?
highway=motorway oneway=yes lanes=4 motor_vehicle:lanes=no|yes|yes|yes hov:lanes=designated|yes|yes|yes bus:lanes=designated|yes|yes|yes
(I might expect: regular motor vehicles and all children are not allowed to use the left lane, except for busses, and HOV, which are. Everything in the access lists is explicit.)
highway=motorway oneway=yes lanes=4 motor_vehicle:lanes=no||| hov:lanes=designated||| bus:lanes=designated|||
(I might expect: equivalent to the first example, because way access defaults on a United States motorway happen to work out that way, and because motor_vehicle:lanes would be evaluated before hov:lanes and bus:lanes, because it's higher in the tree.)
highway=motorway oneway=yes lanes=4 motor_vehicle=no motor_vehicle:lanes=no|yes|yes|yes hov:lanes=designated|yes|yes|yes bus:lanes=designated|yes|yes|yes
(I might expect: this should ALSO be equivalent in results, but only because the way-access 'motor_vehicle=no' would be executed before lane specific access for motor_vehicle, which in turn would be executed before hov:lanes and bus:lanes.)
Has a prescriptive statement (for navigation engine purposes, etc.) been made yet about evaluation order for lanes: specific access?

The Senate Education Committee passed bills Tuesday to safeguard student data and require teacher drug-screening policies.
Senate Bill 335 would require school districts to establish drug-screening policies for screening teachers based on reasonable suspicion of drug use.
Teachers would have the right to request a second test if results come back positive.
The bill also requires any teachers who didn't submit fingerprints upon applying for licensure to do so when they next renew their license. Additionally, all teachers would undergo criminal background checks when renewing their license.
Currently, teachers submit fingerprints as part of the licensure application, but some who were licensed before that rule took effect haven't turned in fingerprints. The Kansas State Board of Education is also considering requiring those teachers to undergo fingerprinting.
Originally, the Senate bill proposed requiring teachers to resubmit fingerprints each time they renew their licenses, but the panel agreed to strike that provision.
"That's a cost, and it doesn't really achieve anything," Sen. Pat Pettey said.
The committee also passed SB 367, creating a student data privacy act that codifies restrictions against sharing personally identifiable student information with third parties.
The act bears similarities to sections of a controversial House bill that would ban the Common Core mathematics and reading standards. That bill includes language to address student privacy because that has been a key concern of Common Core critics in Kansas.
In contrast to the controversy over the Common Core bill, however, SB 367 passed smoothly through the education committee. It doesn't mention the state's math and reading standards.
Unlike the anti-Common Core bill, it doesn't bar the education department from storing post-secondary data about students. Currently the Kansas State Department of Education receives such data from the Kansas Board of Regents.
The bill makes exceptions on information-sharing for certain interagency communication, such as collaborating with the state health department in cases of communicable illnesses in schools.

As the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 came to a close in Mumbai, the logo for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to be held in Australia and New Zealand is unveiled as part of a symbolic handover from the successful 2011 hosts to their counterparts four years hence.
The ICC received applications for the design from across the world before awarding it to the international agency, FutureBrand, whose Australian arm was invited to produce the logo for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. It in turn commissioned graphic consultancy, the Jumbana Group/Balarinji to create both Australian and New Zealand cultural motifs so as to reflect the two indigenous countries' cultural identities.
The result has been what ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat describes as "a dynamic logo which captures the cultural influences in the two host countries".
He added: "The ICC, Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket have all worked together with the consultancies to produce this beautiful logo. On the back of a hugely successful ICC Cricket World Cup 2011, I am sure that it will gain recognition over the next four years as we use it in promotional, marketing and partner activations."
The consultancies were asked to convey the cultures of both countries in a positive and harmonious way and also to expresses a feeling of celebration and unity in the graphics.
Each element of the logo contributes to building the story of the ICC's flagship event featuring the best players in the world competing for The Cup That Counts.
The selected motifs are:
* Maori Tohora symbolizing toughness, pride and tribal culture
* Aboriginal journey tracks symbolising spirit of the land
* Balarinji based the motifs on interpretations of FutureBrand's creative brief signifying toughness, glory, resilience, connection and belonging.
Cricket Australia's Chief Executive James Sutherland said: "This really brings it home to people in Australia and New Zealand that the countdown to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 has started. We have four years of hard work ahead of us but I am certain that we can match the very high standards set by the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
"I know that cricket lovers in Australia and New Zealand will be looking forward to welcoming the teams, staff, administrators, media and supporters of all the competing nations to our shores," said Mr Sutherland.
New Zealand Cricket's Chief Executive Justin Vaughan added: "Hosting an ICC Cricket World Cup is a great honour as well as a great challenge but we are sure both New Zealand and Australia are up to that challenge.
"This is a very exciting time for cricket in our countries and for all of us it presents a wonderful opportunity not only to showcase our cricket but also our countries and their people whose heritage and cultures are represented in this logo."

Michigan quarterback Brandon Peters (18) is the No. 1 quarterback on the roster entering bowl practices.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
ANN ARBOR — Michigan is entering bowl practices with Brandon Peters as the No. 1 quarterback, coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Peters, a redshirt freshman, started three consecutive games in November until he suffered a concussion at Wisconsin in the second-to-last game. John O'Korn started in place of Peters in the Wolverines' 31-20 loss to Ohio State.
Peters cleared concussion protocol last week and returned to all team activities.
Michigan's quarterback situation has been touch-and-go all season. Wilton Speight started the season-opener against Florida and was briefly benched during the first half when he threw consecutive pick-sixes. He then suffered a season-ending injury Sept. 23 at Purdue after fracturing three back vertebrae.
O'Korn started the next four games — two losses (Michigan State and Penn State) — before Peters supplanted him during the first half versus Rutgers Oct. 28.
Peters, who began the season as the third-string quarterback, completed 37 of 64 pass attempts for 486 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He and true freshman Dylan McCaffrey are the only scholarship quarterbacks remaining on the roster following the transfers of Speight and redshirt sophomore Alex Malzone.
The quarterback meeting room could add a new body soon if Ole Miss QB Shea Patterson commits to Michigan.

Adobe Let's Anyone Do Their $9.99 LR/PS Deal Until Dec 2, 2013
November 26th, 2013
Remember the Adobe Creative Cloud deal I talked about back in September? Well Adobe has a limited time deal (until Dec 2, 2013) where they will offer it to anyone, even if you don't have PS CS3, like the previous version of this deal.
Here is the Adobe page that has all the details and links to sign up.
Even if you are not a fan of Creative Cloud the only way you are going to get access to future updates to Photoshop you are going to have to subscribe to Creative Cloud, and this looks to me like the cheapest way to do it.
I signed up yesterday mainly because I can't live without Photoshop, and this is a cheap way to get both PS CC and LR going forward.

Modern life moves at warp speed and it can be easy to forget to slow down once in a while. Taking time to relax may sound like a luxury, but it is an important part of self-care.
When we relax we allow our bodies and minds the chance to process events of the day. We let ourselves rest and recharge so we can stay focused and alert the rest of the time.
So, if you want to remain productive, alert and most importantly – healthy, be sure to take some time every day to relax.
Here are some ideas on how to do exactly that:
1. Go for a walk
Getting out in the fresh air and moving your body is a great way to relax. Instead of thinking about your to-do list, or worrying about things you can't control, try to take this opportunity to notice your environment. Think about the colours you're seeing, the sounds you're hearing and nothing else. This gives your mind a break, and your body will thank you for the exercise.
2. Treat yourself
If you spend a lot of your time helping or caring for others, try to schedule some time to treat yourself. This could be something as simple as taking yourself out for lunch. You don't need to cook or clean up after yourself – you can just sit back and enjoy being waited on.
3. Think of someone you love
Sometimes the best way to relax is to get outside of yourself and think about others. Take a few minutes to think about someone you love and send out positive, loving thoughts for them.
4. Listen to music
Music has an incredible ability to change our mood, so take advantage of this! Create a relaxing playlist of music that soothes you and listen to it often – bonus points for just listening to music and doing nothing else.
5. Meditate
Meditation is well-known for its stress-relieving qualities and is a fantastic way to decompress after a long day. There are plenty of free courses (online and offline) you can attend to learn the basic techniques, and then it's just a case of practising.
6. Be social
Spending time with friends and family has a rejuvenating effect, so try to be social when you can. Put some face-to-face catch-ups in the diary or pick up the phone for a good chat.
7. Do something for others
Again, this is about getting outside of yourself and gaining perspective. Think about what you can do for others – this could mean volunteering or simply getting your colleague a cup of tea.
8. Try hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is an excellent tool to help you relax as it puts you into a deep state of relaxation. This eases physical and mental tension while helping to reduce anxiety. Your hypnotherapist may also teach you some self-hypnosis techniques to help you relax once your sessions with them are complete.

They include:
- Parental leave: Employees will have the ability to request a second 12 months of unpaid leave, so 24 months in total. Currently it is only 12 months.
- Right to request flexibility: An employee who is a parent of or has responsibility for a child under school age can request flexible working hours. An employer may refuse on 'reasonable business grounds'. The request and refusal must be in writing and provide reasons.

Michael Eavis in talks to move Glastonbury by 2019
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 June 2016
Michael Eavis has been holding talks with Longleat to move the festival over their by 2019
Michael Eavis wants to move Glastonbury to Longleat.
The 80-year-old festival organiser has always staged the iconic festival at his own Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, South West England, but has been looking for a new home for the event and is now holding "very early" talks to move the musical extravaganza a short distance away to the 9,000 acre stately home estate in Wiltshire by 2019.
Michael said: "I'm talking to Longleat everyday actually, so I hope we can come to an agreement with them eventually. But we haven't done so yet."
But Michael stressed the move would only be for a year.
He added: "That's its home, that is probably the best place for it, Pilton is.
"Worthy Farm is very warm, it's full of atmosphere and character and history as well.
"But I really do need an alternative site, no doubt about it."
However, at the moment nothing has been confirmed and he's worried that the future of the festival is "unsafe" while they have no confirmed site.
He told ITV: "It really worries me it keeps me awake at night worrying that we won't have anywhere else to go for the event because it's so successful and so huge and people love it so much. It's a bit unsafe at the moment."
Michael - who co-organises the event with his daughter Emily Eavis - insists they have a "long way to go" before they make a decision on where to move Glastonbury, but would love to see it at the Wiltshire park because there is more space out there and the setting is one of the most "beautiful" in the country.
Talking about Longleat, he said: "It's the best site in the whole of England. I can see why they've built that house there and the hills and there is no industrial stuff around it. It's all trees and forests and rolling hills. It's the most beautiful site in England. There is loads of space and more room out there. We've still got a long way to go to make that happen."
Longleat have also confirmed they are holding "discussions" to temporarily hold the festival.
In a statement a spokesperson said: "We are in very early discussions with the festival team about the option of the festival moving to Longleat for a single year some time in the future. It is on a very, very preliminary level at this time though. We don't have anything else to add."
This year will see the likes of Adele, Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, The 1975, Jeff Lynne's Elo, ZZ Top and New Order take to the main stage.

Valentine's Day has gone, but the Michigan State University Museum's 23rd annual Chocolate Party Benefit gives candy lovers another excuse to indulge their yen for sweets. Proceeds go toward the preservation of the cultural and natural science collection of the MSU Museum and the upgrading of storage facilities.
The fundraiser is a professional culinary event that´s open to the general public, offering attendees have the opportunity to sample creations from an array of Lansing area chefs.
About a dozen vendors will be on hand to provide samples of their creations, including Bake N Cakes, How Sweet It Is. Caruso´s Candy Kitchen and the recently opened American Crepes in East Lansing, which will show off chocolate crepes.
The theme of this year´s chocolate sculpture competition is "Cabinets and Curiosities," which ties in to a recently opened exhibit at the museum, said MSU Museum facility and event manager Mike Secord.
The exhibit looks at "explorers from around the world and the cultural oddities they might come back with during the 1700s and 1800s," Secord said.
The competition is open to the general public, but participants must apply beforehand at the museum´s website. In past years competitors have included culinary students, area chefs and local chocolate enthusiasts. The competition draws both individuals and teams of sculptors, Secord said.
A silent auction includes donated items from vendors and local businesses, ranging from $10 to $500.
The event also features two public demonstrations by chefs. "In the past, they´ve shown off different techniques, such as how to do chocolate strawberries, or how to make a homemade ganache," Secord said.

One of humanity's greatest comforts is the notion, however misguided, that life was simpler in the past. Television was better when you only had three channels. Childhood was easier without the distractions of technology. The Internet was preferable when all connections were dialup and the only browser available was Lynx.
Net neutrality is an issue that perfectly illustrates the way that the Internet has gotten more complicated in the last few years. The concept boils down to this: All content on the Internet must be treated equally, regardless of bandwidth or content provider.
That's also known as the status quo of the Internet for decades. Net neutrality grew as a reaction to moves by Internet service providers who wanted to charge different rates for content and find other ways to give preference to some content providers over others. The Federal Communications Commission (to its credit, IMHO) established some strong rules to prevent this kind of discrimination.
Enter zero rating, also known as, a way to give preferential treatment to some content.
Last week the Brookings Institution published a concise explanation of zero rating, so I'll just give the basics here. Zero rating, to use one example, is what the mobile carrier T-Mobile calls some streaming video services, as a way to let customers watch video (through its BingeOn program) without the heavy bandwidth use counting against their data caps. The problem is, BingeOn doesn't treat all video the same. So content providers that don't sign on could see their videos throttled.
Zero rating has to do with more than just your ability to watch "Bojack Horseman" on your smartphone. Facebook tried a "Free Basics" plan in India, where it allowed limited Internet access to the country's poor. The plan would place limits on Internet sites, not on speed — restricting content, in other words.
Mahesh Murthy, writing for Quartz, argued against Facebook's plan in a compelling essay. In it, he wrote:
"It all seems to amount to economic racism—exploiting the poor in under-developed parts of the world to become your customers under the guise of some apparent charitable purpose."
Regulators in that country rightly said no.
As the Internet becomes even more entrenched in people's lives, the more complex it will be. Net neutrality is a reaction to those increasing complexities, and zero rating is a reaction to net neutrality. The cycle is endless, and so is the task to ensure fairness for everyone.
Simplicity in the online realm is a pipe dream. We shouldn't expect otherwise. But equity can be an achievable goal.

Wow, for Microsoft paint, this looks awesome! I actually saw this anime not too long ago. Better than I expected it to be. It started off boring for me but by the end I was loving it!
I really like them! I hope to see more. ;3

Thank you for your feedback! I will be posting more fanart on this thread in the future! I already have some that I am working on.
You have a nice cell shaded style which works well for the tank, but the character could use a more interesting pose. Perhaps try watching RWBY on YouTube to see an anime using a similar style and to give you ideas. =]

^ Still a bit too stiff and wooden. He looks more like a doll than someone who is supposed to be a character. Not that I could do any better, but you did want opinions.

I did some new research on the alleged Germanwings crash, but didn't find much new stuff. Instead I discovered some old stuff that might be interesting.
Investigator Remi Jouty
I reviewed a press conference by a French investigator, Remi Jouty, in the alleged crash, which was published March 25th (the day after the crash) by CBS news. The investigator says it will take weeks or months to analyse the sounds from the black box to determine what happened. However, I believe it was the next day, 26th, when the media got hold of the story that Andreas Lubitz crashes the plane on purpose and ran with the story.
Jouty is asked about rumours that the investigators have discovered pieces of the second black box, but it has been "fragmented into several pieces". He says they are unfounded, they haven't found the second box. Jouty comments that in the history of crashes there have been some recorders that have been badly damaged and dented, but he cannot remember any incident where a recorder has been so badly scattered. The fact that one of the black boxes is missing, and the other is badly damaged, makes this Germanwings crash quite unusual. I take it to suggest someone wanted to damage the black box and took the other. Jouty says the data recorders are sturdy equipment, and he's optimistic they will find it in good shape since they're combing the site. I don't think they'll find it.
Jouty is asked about the possibility of depressurization of the cabin. He responds: "We don't even have the beginning of a scenario". At this point Jouty can not give a proper interpretation of what happened. The next day the prosecutor seemed to have come up with the explanation that most of the world is buying.
Jouty mentions the possibility of the automatic pilot controlling the plane. This is the possibility I find the most likely at this point as well. Certainly a more reasonable explanation than the demonization of the co-pilot Lubitz. The plane may have been remotely controlled from somewhere else.
Remi Jouty seems like a genuine investigator who is trying to find out the truth. However, I don't think he will be able to do that. The people on top probably are not going to let him.
Boeing Honeywell 'Uninterruptible' Autopilot System
21st Century Wire ran article last August on the Boeing Honeywell 'Uninterruptible' Autopilot System, which allows planes to be remotely hi-jacked by the intelligence agencies. The article says: "There is some evidence to suggest that these may have been operational in some Airbus planes since 1989."
I don't know if the Germanwings Airbus had the system installed, or if it was used March 24, 2015, but it's certainly a possibility worth exploring, since I'm not buying the crazy co-pilot story. Unfortunately I haven't been able to corroborate the hunch, or Remi Jouty's suggestion that some sort of remote control or autopilot was used to cause the plane to descend. Nor have I been able to disprove the possibility either.
The Daily Mail has an article "Why can't airlines seize control of doomed jets from the ground? The technology exists but pilots and companies refuse to use it", which sounds like a bunch of problem-reaction-solution. The article implies the Germanwings plane did not have any such technology installed, but it seems to be the authors do not know for a fact the plane didn't have the technology installed. They merely assume this is the case, because Andreas Lubitz did what he is accused of having done. If the plane had had any such control system, Lubitz would not have been able to do it. It's all based on the assumption that Lubitz is guilty.
While I failed to find anything new relating to the Germanwings crash allegation, I did discover something else.
Air France Flight 296
In 1988 Air France Flight 296 was flying as part of an air show. As it tried to land it crashed into a forest killing 3 people. Wikipedia ominously says: "This was the first crash of an A320 aircraft."
There seems to have been some sort of conspiracy afoot in regard to the investigation of the crash. Wikipedia is trying to white-wash the conspiracy, but AirDisaster.com has a fairly detailed account of it.
Captain, the main pilot of flight 296, Michel Asseline, first officer Pierre Mazière were "accused for injury and manslaughter". The captain received most of the blame. Prior to crashing into the trees the plane was 30 ft above ground, but the captain said the altimeter of the plane said it was 100 ft. This suggests there was something wrong with the equipment, not the pilots. Moreover some of the flight recorder data had been altered: "since May 1998 it is proven by the report of the Lausanne IPSC that the Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) was substituted after the crash."
Intriguingly a pilot, Norbert Jacquet, who supported the captain Asseline "was suspended from duty and had his licence withdrawn by Air France on the grounds of "mental instability". Meanwhile he has got five psychiatric certificates which unanimously state that he is completely sane and does not have any signs of mental trouble. One understands that co-pilot Pierre Mazière, who has continued to fly for Air France after the accident, cannot dare to express himself on the subject."
There's a short video of the plane crash on Youtube. There's a narration saying: "This is the first fully automated plane flown by a computer." And then it crashes into the trees. This confused me whether the plane was automated or flown by pilots. One website debunks the automation claim by saying: "The common misconception of Air France Flight 296 being an unmanned plane flown by a computer was created after TLC released a show without researching the crash appropriately, and mistook fly-by-wire as a fully automated system, not requiring pilots."
Clearly the pilots were on the plane if they were convicted at court, and admitted to being on the plane themselves, but maybe the crash was due to something going wrong with a computerized system, such as they were trying to control is remotely and it malfunctioned. Maybe they were testing the Honeywell Autopilot System. However, I'm just guessing here. The captain's account does suggest a technical malfunction of some sort, though.
I also cannot say if this plane crash from the 80s has anything to do with the Germanwings crash, except that it set a precedent on Airbush crashes in France complicated by a conspiracy to fabricate evidence.
When it comes to the Germanwings plane, it's been a week and as far as I know they haven't shown evidence of the bodies nor the wreck of the plane. This does suggest they are covering it up, as does the difficulty in finding the second black box.

Lately, I have been feeling an almost overwhelming yearning for human interaction. It's not that I don't get any. I see my friends on a regular basis. I see my family on a lesser basis than I probably should. But even then, I still get a solid amount of time with people I care about. So, what's the deal?
Perhaps it's the sort of human interaction that involves sitting at home and cuddling, talking about whatever comes to mind… I miss intimacy. I'm not even talking about sex. I mean the intimacy of feeling like you know someone better than anyone else. Better than you know yourself. Like you could have an entire conversation just by looking at that person.
With school in session now, my focus has to be elsewhere… and I will admit that that's hard for me. It is in my nature to care about people and it is in my nature to have intimacy. Right now, I do not have that connection with anyone. It is difficult not to search it out, but at the same time my gut tells me that now is just simply not the time. It's a nice notion to believe that I would have the time to commit to someone in order to build a relationship like that, but it is just that. A notion.
I used to be really good at being alone. I still am. Perhaps now is just a bit difficult because I am doing a lot of things on my own. I am not asking my parents to help me with my college tuition. I am not asking for spending money. I am asking only for help when I truly need it. It's called being an adult and I'd like to think that I've got the hang of it for the most part.
Perhaps that's it right there… because I'm doing a lot on my own, it's easy to think that by having someone there, my journey would somehow be… not easier, but a little less scary. Yeah, I'm scared. Lots of developments occurred in a very short amount of time. My head is honestly still spinning and maybe I think that by having someone there who I could relate to on that deeper level, maybe it would stop spinning so fast.
No matter what, at least for now, I'll be coming home to my apartment and I will be spending a lot of time with myself and my thoughts. I have some relationships that need to be re-evaluated and prioritized properly. I have school to focus on and I will be damned if anyone or anything prevents me from completing that to the best of my ability. I have my health to focus on by reaching my final weight loss goal in addition to dropping a nasty smoking habit. Plus, I have to constantly get to know myself on a deeper level. Sometimes, even now with everything that I have discovered about myself, it is hard to face my weaknesses.
I guess the question is… by feeling this constant need for mental intimacy and human interaction, is there something that I am afraid of facing on my own? Or do I truly and fully just want to find someone on my level? Thoughts to ponder.

WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), Vice Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, Monday issued the following statement applauding House passage of H.R. 4842, the Homeland Security Science and Technology Authorization Act of 2010. The bill contains an amendment by Rep. Sanchez that would help protect America's financial sector from cyber attacks and promote the study of cyberinsurance:
"The Homeland Security Science and Technology Authorization Act of 2010 will take concrete steps to secure our financial networks against potential cyber attacks. There's a real risk that sophisticated hackers could target the electronic data of our financial systems or banks – and there's no way of knowing the potential impact.â€
"My amendment would help ensure our financial institutions, and the invaluable electronic data they store, are taken into account as we find new ways to improve our information security. "My amendment would also promote the study of cybersecurity insurance, which is being developed to protect public and private organizations from losses associated with data theft, denial of service attacks, and other electronic security breaches. Because we simply don't know a lot about this emerging insurance market, it's important to encourage our agencies to learn more about this type of coverage so we can weigh the pros and cons.â€
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez represents California's 47th Congressional District, which includes the cities of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and parts of Fullerton in Orange County. She serves as Vice Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee and Chair of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Terrorism, Unconventional Threats, and Capabilities.
Supporters of Assemblyman Van Tran, who is challenging Sanchez in the November general election, periodically claim that Sanchez has been ineffective in Congress for having not introduced any significant legislation in her career. Those making this argument fail to understand the dynamics of a large legislative body. The more common, and more effective way, for members to influence legislation is through the amendment process in committee. Sanchez has demonstrated yet again her ability to drive important legislative action benefiting both her district and the country as a whole.

A spirited Services team beat favourites Uttar Pradesh by five wickets to enter the semi-final of the Ranji Trophy, in Indore, on Tuesday.
Chasing a meagre target of 113 to win, Services were rocked by UP pacer Ankit Rajpoot's fiery spell (5-36) and were reduced to 54 for 5 in the second innings. However, skipper Soumik Chatterjee and Rajat Paliwal came to the armymen's rescue and pocketed the five-day match well inside three days.
Services chased down the remaining runs without further hiccups, courtesy first-innings centurion Rajat Paliwal's unbeaten 32 and an injured Chatterjee's unconquered 34. But it was not before young UP pacer Rajpoot created a flutter.
The 19-year-old, however, could not prevent Paliwal and Chatterjee - unable to walk with a badly injured left knee - from steering Services home.
The injured skipper finished the run-chase in style, hitting a huge six over mid-on off spinner Ali Murtaza.
The duo shared an unbeaten partnership of 62 runs for the sixth wicket to ensure a memorable victory for Services.
Earlier, resuming the day on 138 for 4, UP were bowled out for 241 in 78 overs. Overnight batsmen Arish Alam and Eklavya Dwivedi added 40 runs before being dismissed. Right-handed Alam (50), however, completed a half-century before being run-out. UP pacer Imtiaz Ahmed played an aggressive knock of 40, off just 37 deliveries, during which he hit two boundaries and four sixes.
However, wickets continued to tumble at the other end, and UP's innings folded for 241 runs, giving their bowlers a paltry 112 runs to defend.For Services, right-arm pacer Suraj Yadav accounted for seven UP batsmen and ended the match with career-best figures of 9-106.

Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)
Account Executive
January 1970
This company offers job sharing to people in sales roles if they are persistent and some have secured 4 day workweeks as part of their negotiation. They provided both job sharers full-time benefits and 60% vacation and sick time for a 3 day workweek until the 2008 recession and then changed their policy to not include benefits and a finite small number of sick/vacation days. The company does a good job promoting women into management positions. It is a smaller radio company and there was an extraordinary amount of turnover for the industry in management at the middle level and top level as well as weak moral and higher than usual employee turnover. I had on average 1 manager each year I worked there. The company seemed visionary at first but did little to encourage professional development and show employees that they cared about their well-being. There was above average employee turnover and poor moral and no real HR department to address issues. They were focused on duplicating a cookie cutter proposal and sales method with every move and proposal scrutinized by one to three managers resulting in a very inefficient, cumbersome way to do business that also showed employees how little they valued their talent and expertise.
