New Delhi: Congress on Friday alleged that "flip-flop" policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has helped Pakistan reposition itself to "pivot" position from being a "pariah" in the global system and destroyed India's strategic and diplomatic "advantages" over the neighbour.
At the same time, the party said it was ready to offer support to the ruling dispensation as a responsible opposition to effect a course correction in the Pakistan policy.
"In the last two years, Pakistan has been able to reposition itself from being a pariah in the global system to now again being seen as a pivot for regional stability. The 4- nation talks on Afghanistan, the sale of F-16s are signs of how we have allowed the Pakistanis to reemerge within the global order," party's chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala told reporters.
Keeping up the attack over Pakistan's unilateral suspension of the peace process, he insisted that government's "flip-flop" policy has allowed Islamabad to set the agenda in the dialogue process.
"In his quest for an image make over as that of a world statesman, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dismantled the entire matrix of our strategic and diplomatic advantages over Pakistan," he claimed.
Taking a dig at the Prime Minister, he said, "Narendra Modi has been run out by Pakistan in his dangerous quest for a non-existent run."
"As a responsible opposition party and as Indians, we believe this moment allows us an opportunity to recalibrate, pause and reflect and course correct, and we would like to engage and offer support to the ruling dispensation if they deem it necessary," he said.
He said that what is all the more tragic is the fact that efforts of previous Congress governments in isolating Pakistan internationally as an "epicenter of terror" have been undone because of "unthought of and poorly deliberated" moves by Modi in engagement with Pakistan.
At the outset, he said Pakistan's unilateral suspension of talks with India on Thursday is a "clear betrayal" of peace process and its commitment to resolve all bilateral issues through peaceful negotiation.
"Constructive engagement has always been the foundation of our relationship with our neighbours, including Pakistan. Sadly, this foundation is now shaky."
He claimed that Modi government's Pakistan policy has confused its most ardent admirers and baffled security experts and diplomats alike.
He lamented that the Prime Minister, ignoring all pleas, invited Pakistan's Joint Investigation Team to Pathankot to investigate the terror attack that originated from the Pakistani soil.
"Modi and Amit Shah assured the nation that warm welcome is accorded to Pakistan's JIT including the infamous ISI. Despite repeated warnings by Congress party, government took a U-turn of making a distinction between State and non-State actors in Pakistan engaged in anti-India terror activities.
"Naturally, Pakistan's JIT went back and preposterously blamed India for orchestrating the Pathankot terror attack
itself," the Congress spokesperson said.
He alleged that not only life is being breathed into a state recognized just a few years back as the epicentre of terror, but government is also permitting it to put Kashmir back on centrestage.
Besides, he said that this new space available to Pakistan also showed that global powers like the US, Russia and China have been more than willing in demonstrating their support or keenness to engage with Pakistan.
"The Chinese have supported Pakistan version on Masood Azhar and terrorism generally and sweetened the Pakistan cup with a multi-billion dollar economic corridor that itself recognizes Pakistan's rights over disputed tracts of land and legitimizes Chinese territorial claims over others," he said.
He said that the Prime Minister and BJP need to seriously introspect and answer these important issues to the nation.

My time on the POP Brixton journey is 2 years old and I'm proud to have built something with some fantastic Brixtonians. We've improvised, innovated and delivered jobs, opportunities and something iconic, proving along the way that economic success does not have to come at the expense of social value. This is my thanks to them and those that encouraged and supported us to go the extra mile.
In the early days, the typical reaction to our plans for Pop Brixton was "you mean like Boxpark Shoreditch?" Not any more. We are a year in and we are nothing like Boxpark Shoreditch. We are proudly POP Brixton. Delivering 100s of jobs, space for loads of Lambeth start-ups and 100's of hours of community give back and community activities. Nearly half a million people have visited since Pop opened its doors last summer.
But that image of what Boxpark Shoreditch was, and what we would not be, was always in our minds and I think staying true to that is why POP Brixton feels like it's been around for longer than a year. It feels part of Brixton. And being of Brixton and for Brixton was always something which guided us. Boxpark Shoreditch could have been anywhere. We wanted something that would be Brixton.
We wanted this empty scrub of land to do something for Brixton; to aide economic recovery, to spread footfall and attract new people to spend money. We wanted it to provide the opportunities for local start-ups and business. We needed it to not run at a loss, better still to provide profits back into the Council as a revenue stream to begin the next wave of business and job creation. See now Loughborough junction and Waterloo Meanwhile space.
One of the main reasons for remaining true to Brixton, to balance between the economic realities and our political and community principles, was the steering group working together for over a year before the tenants moved in. The group helped develop and shape something which hadn't been done before, to have a standalone commercial venture driven by social and community values. In part this blog is to thank them. For the last two years it has been in our lives and everyone has contributed, shaped and shared in the success of POP Brixton.
Stuart from the Brixton Market Traders Federation, Nigel from the Academy, Ellie from Satay Bar, Binki and Tom from the Brixton£ and local Labour Councillor Matt Parr. Along with Carl Turner, POP staff and numerous Council officers we kept each other looking at the right things, checking them three times and keeping on track, both toward delivery but also in line with our principles. Tom Bridgman never took the easy route, never stopped challenging and improving and expecting the best and much of what is good about POP is because of his commitment and attitude.
And of course we had a number of challenges over the years. Adidas came knocking to pay for use the "coolest space in London right now." We had always committed to no brands and we were strictly no chains. But Adidas came with money to the project and with little intrusion (they wanted three weekends, not a permanent shop or branding) They also came after some swift negotiation with opportunities for local football clubs to train with Premier League players, practise their skills and the clubs to walk away with some much needed cash.
We did it and along with the money there is also now POPFields which has been created with some of the proceeds to show the Euro's, provide sporting opportunities for youngsters again and well…. I think the majority of the steering group stand by our decision to say "yes, but only under the following conditions." The steering group's existence ensured that the question was debated and a harder bargain fought.
Many of the things we didn't know how to do and for some there was no precedent so we had to improvise. We set out a scoring matrix and a selection process for the applicants through some tough steering group meetings. How to make it diverse? How to make it Lambeth? How to get a good mix which worked? How to pick winners with good business models? How to do this fairly? How to let POP have the commercial and creative discretion they needed, but with proper checks and balances by the steering group? Then the same process with the subsidised units and those set aside for non-commercial ventures who pay with social good like Repezent Radio and Bouceback.
We put in criteria about local links which resulted in 75% of the businesses being run by Lambeth people. We couldn't put a diversity quota in there legally but it was made clear that this was part of the cultural and creative mix that POP would need to demonstrate, a place that looked and felt like Brixton. It is 40% BAME businesses.
There was also how well their business model stacked up and lastly what sort of social give back, thoughts and commitments they would offer. Some of these are harder to judge and score than others. It is not an exact science. POP Brixton's mix, which was approved by the steering group, has worked out pretty well I think. Some dropped out before occupation, some have since left but generally the community which has been created feels very close.
At the start we were fully committed (still are) to the concept of responsible businesses giving back to their community. Without the tenants in place it was difficult to work out what would be a measurable and firm commitment that would work best for both business and community. With something organic not bureaucratic sometimes you just have to shape and see. We hoped for this give back to be part of the business communities DNA, not a budget line entitled CSR which happens once a year. And that one hour a week would turn into many without needing to be asked for. Those individual hours surely have.
We also wanted this social business sense to spread further, to make it easier for businesses in Brixton and across Lambeth to be involved in supporting their communities. There is much willingness to do this amongst businesses, especially in Brixton, and we wanted to see the tenants as more than a rental stream as some landlords and landowners do. But someone who adds value at the expense of profit. In straightened times foregoing additional revenue to mitigate against cuts is not taken lightly or often.
Of course responsible businesses need responsible landlords and again POP Brixton have not failed to deliver. Everyone has a gripe about their landlords, but it is how they complain and to whom that really counts. From day one, I have had very few complaints from tenants. Some naturally but swiftly dealt with. The steering group hears reports, we meet the tenants. The landowners meet its sub tenants to make sure the landlord is being responsible. I think that is a healthy relationship to have, where each party gets to hold the other to account if necessary but is incentivised to just be better to each other so they don't have to.
When POP Management came with a plan to us which involved 15% top slice of drinks based businesses to contribute to extra marketing for the whole site, extra ways to deal with crowds to fulfil licensing obligations and extra clean up, I was initially nervous. When the plan also contained differentiated rent for food businesses so less footfall meant less rent to pay, more meant more, I was worried that it would end up in a battle. But the plan had come through tenant and landlord negotiations without the need to involve the Council, the steering group. A couple of official nods to fairness, polluter pays, demonstrated to me that this place was a genuinely well functioning ecosystem, where landlord and tenant knew their responsibilities and engaged with each other. Good landlording is onerous, but it reaps dividends and benefits. It helped no doubt that Philippe from POP, a long standing Brixton resident and small business owner, was alive to the politics of this place and the importance of rigorous business discipline but an appreciation of when times are tough.
The steering group is going to change now. Much of the programme management, steering the thing through the Council's planning process, making sure that the electricity is working, making sure milestones were met, deadlines delivered to is now over. The general running of the place is on the whole sound and stable
POP has not disappointed. It is a community (In no small part to the Brixton IMPACT Hub, a business community within a business community) and I am very proud to have been a part of POP's story. Although I am standing down from the steering group, I know this group of individuals will continue to impress, to improvise and to innovate.
Politics at this point in time can be trying, but POP has allowed us to do something in line with our values of providing opportunities as well as something which works in the real work. It has given us the chance to also show that the economy can run in a different and more social way; that good landlording is about being hands-on, being involved and sharing the successes and failures of your tenants; that being a shareholder (in the sense that we are the landowner) is about active stewardship, having a collective sense of purpose and founding principles; that Lambeth is a hugely talented place and what is needed are opportunities, space and support for those people to achieve; that business is not just about profit and loss but how successful your wider community is doing.
POP's not perfect but it's a damn mighty effort at walking the walk on opportunity and the benefits of regeneration for those of our number who need it. Well done the team and no letting up the pace!

Normally we aren't familiar with the proxy server. When someone is searching on the internet for a site and find it in the block list from your server, it feels you are frustrated. As an example, in many countries, YouTube and Hotstar has been blocked due to some reason. On that occasion, you need to follow some hacking tricks( like- Facebook Tricks, COC Trick, Data recovery Trick, Unlock Youtube etc.) to overcome. Today I will discuss – best proxy sites for videos streaming.
You can access those banned sites with two different techniques. First one is, you can access these sites by changing your server proxy manually. And on the other side, you can use third party sites for accessing any video banned sites.
Here I show you some of the best proxy sites for videos streaming to access any banned video sites for online streaming. Not only access to those sites but also able to download any live streaming video from any site.
Read Also: How to Customise your Action Center on The Windows 10
So, here is the best proxy sites for videos:
Proxy.org :
In the free proxy server list, I put the proxy.org in number one. Proxy.org comes with the free proxy server which is like an open directory. Due to high traffic, they provide different types of server sites on their site.
Comparing to other websites, Proxy.org is not looking so standard, but all the servers are working well as you expect. They also mention VPN list with the Proxy list. Overall this site comes with a complete full package. From the beginning, I used this site for the proxy server.
UnblockMyWeb.com :
Like Proxy.org, UnblockMyWeb.com is one of the best free proxy server site. If your YouTube site is blocked from your server or country, I suggest this particular proxy site use, but in one condition, you should use any Ad Blocker software.
The main problem is that redirecting issue with the other site. But, you need an average speed with it.
Read Also : How to lock Chrome browser with a password
HideMyAss :
Since 2005, HideMyAss has become so popular in the Internet world. For YouTube or other online video streaming site, it works fluently with any average internet speed.
You can select your connection setting through different four countries with different connection speed. That means you can manually select all these settings. For a new visitor, it is very easy to use and also this site is protected with AVG antivirus. So, you can use this site without any Ad disturbance.
The normal proxy server comes with free, but the VPN server comes with a paid service.
Youtubeunblockproxy.com :
From its name, we have a clear idea that "youtubeunblockproxy.com" is a site for YouTube site. Compare to other sites, youtubeunblockproxy.com is a very reliable with its attractive website design.
Like another site, it has also created pop-up of Ads during internet surfing.
URL submitting option box on the front page, no need to go far from the homepage. Overall it is a full plated site for the proxy server.
Ninjacloak :
This is one of the best one because it comes with some unique option like – Scripts removing an option, no cookies option with more option. The homepage looks like really easy and reliable.
RapidProxy.us :
RapidProxy is also a nice working server like other. It works well in both low and average internet speeds. The main problem is the pop-up. Before opening this site, you need to install any Ad Blocker, other wish Ads will create some serious problem for you.
Proxysite.com :
This site is popular for its user interface front. They provide the proxies for the US and Europe. The proxy site has a different proxy site that used for an alternative path.
KProxy.com :
KProxy.com is a free proxy provider site. It doesn't have any speed limit or any Ads disturbance program. If you are a regular internet user like YouTube and surfing on Google.
Among all the free proxy site, I think it comes with the minimum Ads server.
Anonymouse :
Like previous one it is one of them. Anonymouse is fast and very secure. But it has a major problem like it doesn't support secure browsing (HTTPS://).
If you have a paid subscriber to VIP, only then you can access those secure sites.
bestyoutubeproxy.info :
This proxy server site is specially deliberate to Pakistan and China. Actually, in many cases, YouTube is blocked in this country due to unauthorized videos.
If you are not a regular user of Free.bestyoutubeproxy.info, you can't imagine how powerful it is to unlock YouTube videos. Before using this site, you need to install a strong Ad blocker to optimize this site.
These are the sites that may be helpful for everyone those have faced the problem with video proxy related a banned site.
Conclusion :
Here it is for best proxy sites for videos. What are you waiting for, pick up any of these and start accessing blocked sites with your device? I hope all the proxies' works well. If you have any problem, you can share with us. We will try to solve your problem as soon as possible. And please don't forget to share and subscribe our social media channel.

RYAN Gamble hails from Millicent, roughly halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide, and played the past five seasons at provincial Geelong. All of which means there is more than a transition of clubs to be made for the South Australian, who began his second incarnation as an AFL player when he arrived at St Kilda yesterday.
Aside from learning a new club culture, Gamble has to find his way in the big city. ''I was at Geelong for five years and I've only been up the highway probably 15 times in those five years,'' he said yesterday. ''I am a country boy. It's going to take a while to get used to the city, but I think the rewards here are worthwhile.''
Gamble, 23, was one of the interesting tales of last week's national draft, a gifted forward who could not break into a talent-laden Geelong front half on a regular basis in one of that club's most glorious eras. He had just 24 senior games in those five years, and only two this year, when the Cats sent him into defence in their VFL team.
He won the best and fairest but, before season's end, knew that it was time to move on. ''The coaches came to me and wanted to put me down the back line. I thought realistically the only place I could get into the Geelong team was in the forward line, but they said it was the back line for me. I just went away, did my work and I was pretty much in the back line all year.''
The realisation came, and Gamble asked for a trade. ''In the first 15 rounds or so I probably played two [games] and that's when I really started to think 'for my career is it going to be Geelong or somewhere else'. I did ask for a trade, but when I got delisted I was lucky to be picked up by the Saints.''
St Kilda and Geelong talked over a trade, but Saints' coach Ross Lyon took the punt that Gamble would be delisted. Having copped flak over Luke Ball's departure at the end of 2009, Lyon got this one right, and St Kilda nabbed him with pick 90. ''He was in an elite system trying to get in and at 23, we think he's done a great apprenticeship,'' said Lyon. ''We think he can offer us something in our front half with his hardness, and he's outstanding overhead.''
Dean Polo's story is similar. Delisted by Richmond after five seasons and 56 senior games, he is just 24 and has stared the footballers' oblivion in the face. ''Yeah, definitely, you always have that in the back of your mind and it's not a very nice feeling,'' he said. ''I still felt 'I've got so much to offer in AFL football, and hopefully I'm given that opportunity'. Now that I have, there's no looking back.''
Lyon said Polo was originally a top-20 draft pick, and ''we just don't think [it] disappears''. Polo can play in midfield or down back, now that he is clear about his future. ''It's been a long time since round 22 to draft day and it's just been burning inside ever since. So I'm grateful to St Kilda Football Club for giving me that opportunity and I'm not going to let them down.''
The Saints have four teenaged draftees, headed by West Australian Jamie Cripps (pick 24), who pronounced the whole thing ''awesome''. Arryn Sippos (pick 75, from Dandenong) comes from a St Kilda-supporting family. ''You dream as a little kid to play and wear that St Kilda jumper when you get older, but you never really expect it,'' he said. Sippos wore Jason Cripps's No. 18 on his back as a young boy, and remembers watching games at Waverley Park with Nicky Winmar, Stewart Loewe and Austinn Jones starring.
Tom Ledger (pick 59) is sticking tight with Cripps, both being from Perth. The former Claremont player is a third-cousin of Heath Ledger, the late Australian actor. ''I met him once but I didn't really know him,'' he said. ''A lot of people ask me the same question but I don't have any acting ability, unfortunately.''
Sam Crocker (pick 43) comes from Kew and was one of seven Oakleigh Chargers drafted this season, needing only to pilot down Warragul Road to his employment. ''I've got it pretty easy, I guess,'' he said. ''[I'm] very humble to be here.''
St Kilda has also elevated a rookie, Tom Simpkin (pick 111), who was runner-up best and fairest at Sandringham last year. The new players have at least one thing in common. They can all run. ''I don't normally say it, but I think a few of them can make some impact next year,'' said Lyon. ''Clearly a couple of them need to build some bodies. They're light young men, but you can bang weight on but you can't bang talent into them. They've got some skill level and some speed which, I think we all acknowledge we're trying to get into the group.''

Mama Mia! Struggling Kate Middleton to hire full-time nanny for little Prince George
STRESSED Princess Kate is set to hire a full-time nanny.
She is struggling to combine all her royal duties with being a mum.
Last summer Kate, 32, and Prince William, 31, vowed they would look after Prince George by themselves.
But just seven months later the couple are said to be scouting for a full-time childminder.
Posh London company Nannies of St James are thought to be among the firms Kensington Palace has approached.
Last night company boss Rosemary Newton refused to comment.
But she revealed many nannies are expected to help children with homework and exam revision, adding: "Gone are the days of Mary Poppins."
Wills and Kate are said to be keen to employ help ahead of a gruelling tour of Australia and New Zealand this spring.

Radiohead, the British band which rocked the music industry last year by releasing their album In Rainbows on the web under a name-your-own-price system, has confounded critics by topping US charts.
Having become the best-selling album in the UK last week, with 44,000 CDs shifted, In Rainbows went on to sell 122,000 during an otherwise quiet release week in the US. It has also topped the charts in Canada, France, Japan and Ireland.
Sales were dramatically below those of the band's last album, Hail to the Thief, which sold 114,000 units in the UK in the first week of its release in 2003 and 300,000 in the US, according to the Official UK Chart Company and Nielsen Soundscan.
But with CD sales plummeting across the board, lower numbers were to be expected.
Having been released from its contract with EMI, Radiohead last year distributed their album without a record label.
Fans were allowed to download In Rainbows from Radiohead's website for nothing, or a price of their choosing.
Mark Sutherland, global editor of Billboard magazine, said: "The fact that it is still the highest-selling record of the week after being available for quite a long time for potentially nothing shows Radiohead still have pulling power."
But he said 2008 would see Radiohead marketing itself in more conventional ways.

Forty-six West Kelowna residents have told their stories and shared their frustration with health care services in West Kelowna since an initial call for submissions was put out last month.
But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change.
Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility.
"I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number," said WKRA director Ron Green.
"At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there."
Green said the responses so far have given good information, but the WKRA is looking for more submissions that explain how health services should be improved to meet basic needs on the Westside.
According to Green, the three biggest issues identified so far are laboratory service, radiology service, and transport. A few submissions also commented on ambulance response times.
The input will be used by Konnert in her report to West Kelowna council this December.
"These submissions are going to support the need for a centre," said Green.
"If you look at it geographically, the first thing you look at is we're only a 25 minute drive away from KGH. So why do we need a centre? The problem is the bridge."
Green noted one bad accident could block the only convenient road that links West Kelowna to Kelowna.
Health services in West Kelowna is one of about 10 issues that the WKRA is currently focused on.
Green said WKRA's overall goal to improve health care is "to get an urgent care centre that operates on reasonably accessible hours, seven days a week."
To provide personal stories, concerns or feedback regarding health care in West Kelowna, visit wkra.ca or e-mail email@example.com.
Responses are being accepted until Nov. 30.

3D Modelling in Architecture: Viz is the Future
Architectural visualization could be the most important aspect of architecture, landscape and urban design in the 21st century. Seeing a 3D virtual model has come to be expected from clients of architectural projects, and is a great way to portray the relationship of spaces, weight, materials and mood of your design.
Both Toms at TOTLD have completed a Bachelor of Design Studies (Architecture Major/Digital Media Major) at the University of Adelaide. This means we are well-versed in reading working drawings, and creating 3D representations.
Does your architectural firm need to out-source 3DS Max viz work? Are you a lone architect or designer in need of some 3D assistance?SEE OUR WORK
Flexibility in Advertisement with 3D Animation
3D lends itself well to advertising, for a number of reasons. The most important ones from a business perspective are simple: cost, and flexibility.
3D animation allows you the client to do away with the huge costs of live-footage production. No sets, no camera-men or film, no lighting…you get the point. It's also extremely versatile, since there are no laws of physics or human limitations to hold it back. Your ideas can be realised.
We love captivating through characters and connecting through animation. Are you looking to advertise with video online or with TV? It's important to be different!
Get in touch, and we can discuss how 3D could work for you.
Music Video goes 3D
Like most people, we love music. What's the best way to take an audio track and turn it into a promotional powerhouse for your music?
A cool, memorable music video! 3D is a great way to stand out, and tell a story that might be a little left-of-centre.
With social media becoming a great way to share videos with YouTube and Vimeo, there's never been a better time to turn your track into a visual feast.
Short Film, Your Film and 3D Animation
Short film is a great medium for young film-makers and creatives to produce great cinema on a smaller (and cheaper) scale. We love working on short film projects because they're all about story-telling, and we're suckers for a well-told tale.
3D animation is a great tool for achieving things in film that would otherwise be near-impossible. The scope is limited by imagination.
Have you got a short film project that needs some 3D? Are you looking for someone local to collaborate? We'd love to hear about your film, your vision and how we can help.GET IN TOUCH

Genre: Contemporary, Fiction, Gay, Gay Fiction, Humor/Comedy
Queeny cocktail waiter, Lionel, wakes up to find himself in bed with Dog, a straight-acting softball player and the two embark on a rocky road to romance. A journey that requires coming out of the closet, going into the closet, a pair of red high heels, many pairs of red high heels, a failed intervention, a couple of aborted dates, and homemade pom-poms. Mostly, Lionel and Dog learn what it means to be a man.
My View:
Marshall Thornton, you rock my world, once again. Rock. My. World.
How… yeah… how am I supposed to… what? Gah! F@#! Because, fo reals, how does one review a Marshall Thornton story? You'd think I'd know since I've been here several times, experiencing, revelling, sinking, loving, pumping of the 'YES!' fist, but reviewing?
cracks knuckles
I shall do my best!
I was waiting for a compliment. Instead, Dog said, "I don't live here."
"What a relief! I hate it when people move in uninvited."
Actually, I might not have minded so much if he had moved in uninvited. He was cute in a lumbering, jockish sort of way.
There's obvious humor, subtle humor, in your face humor, clever humor, and Thornton knows and uses them all in this tale and these characters, Lionel and Dog, and their friends, and their not-so-much friends, and their family.
That was Lionel. And then? We get Dog's point of view. pumps fist (See! Told ya.)
This allows us readerly types to learn two important things about both of these people: the mask they're often wearing for most of the rest of the world which leads to their initial perceptions of each other, and the reality that is going on underneath. I was immediately wanting good things for them, whatever the context. I did feel like the switches sometimes come too quickly (they're clearly marked), but I think this has more to do with the fact that I like both of these guys' voices a lot and didn't want to leave one for the other, each time, making for the most satisfying of vicious circles.
This story is a big F.U. to stereotypes, and how people use them to hurt one another, and how that action is never justified. No one is a stereotype but everyone feels love and pain and everything in between. There is so much more I could say on this but I refuzzle to give anything away.
As usual, Thornton places these ordinary people in ordinary situations (and some not so, in some of his other books), working his magic to create unforgettable characters and emotions that leave permanent marks. This is a much more realistic "meet cute", with runny noses, missed opportunities, and the appreciation of a good blush.
He blushed a bit. I like a man with good circulation.
There are ups and downs and all-arounds in this story, with conflicts that aren't avoided or used as cheats but instead headbutted and dared, placed in the spotlight. Upping of ye ol' stakes, anyone? And all of this takes place around a couple of local bars and a softball team. Getting back to the mask theme, this is about why so many people have to walk around hiding who they are, always self-evaluating their behavior to make sure the mask hasn't fallen. It's exhausting. Frustrating. Maddening. Painful. Life is already a giant spider of a challenge, no one deserves to carry that extra burden around practically 24-7. This is also about how respect, love, humor, and all of the good things in life can help fight against the forces that foster this current reality.
All of the supporting characters are well-played and well-placed, from the sarcastic sister – and the awesomely portrayed sibling relationship between her and Dog – and the parents on opposite ends of the support scale, the odd friends, jerk of a hole who thinks he has everyone under his control, and the dive bar owner with her knowing ways.
Thornton exceeds my expectations in unexpected ways. Not that I go into one of his book with any specific ideas about what's going to happen. I know better than that. His stories get me pumped. Inspired. And make me grateful. His insight and the way he shares it are abilities not many both have and are willing to share.
Thornton writes the way people really think:
The look on his face told me that he knew I was avoiding capitulation, and he didn't mind. And that was kind of interesting. He didn't have to make me wrong for him to be right. I couldn't remember another time where I'd fought with someone and it was okay to be right and wrong at the same time. I wondered what that meant?
I love this book. I love Lionel. I love that there is much more he and Dog have to learn about each other, and I imagine them being able to spend their lives doing just that. Also, they're both funny as all git out, even when they don't realize it. At the end, I lost count of how many times a guffaw leapt from my gut. The end itself felt a bit rushed, and I think that's because most of the story itself covers a relatively short amount of time, so this was out of sync.
Back to the love, though, because I looooooooove this book and it is one of my top reads for 2016 and one of my favorite's of Marshall Thornton. You betchur sweet bippy I recommend this'n!

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
The surgery on the eyelids is called Blepharoplasty, and is performed to remove excess fat and skin, and to tighten muscle from the upper and lower eyelid. A good first procedure to regain your youthfull appearance is eyelid surgery. Your eyes are the first feature that people look at when speaking to you and can show age or illness. Due to the excellent circulation, a blepharoplasty is a quick recovery procedure. Home care consists of placing cool a compress on your eyes and keeping your head elevated.
Eyelid surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes – features that make you look older and more tired than you feel, and may even interfere with your vision. However, it won't remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging brows. If these are issues of concern, Dr. Siegel can recommend products to improve these areas. While it can add an upper eyelid crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjuction with other facial surgery procedures such as facelift or brow lift.

This is an article about testing recursive DNS server performance.
Testing recursive servers is intrinsically more challenging than testing authoritative server performance because the server under test isn't providing the DNS query responses from authoritative zone data that it owns - it has to communicate with other servers and it also needs to manage and maintain its cache of zone data that it has previously learned.
If you're planning to test authoritative server performance, some of the information in this article may be useful, but your choice of test query streams will be different. Unless under attack, or delegation configuration errors, authoritative servers generally only have to handle queries for names on zones for which they are authoritative - so generally you will be preparing a query stream based on your knowledge of the zones that have been loaded by the server.
In this article:
Why measure Query Performance?
Many DNS administrators are interested in knowing what the peak capacity of their DNS resolvers is going to be so that they can adequately provision their DNS services. They might also want to deploy independent query rate-limiting tools to protect their servers in a situation where significantly more queries than normal are being received, and before the point at which they expect their resolvers to reach saturation point.
Therefore most query rate testing tools and techniques are stress-based, monitoring the responsiveness of the server under test and increasing the query load until the point that it starts to fail. The maximum QPS is usually defined as being as the highest query rate that the server can handle, above which which the proportion of queries receiving no response starts to increase.
Testing a server to breaking point gives you an artificial indication of the functional capacity of the server and can be useful for capacity-planning and provisioning, but it provides no data on how quickly the server is responding to client queries in normal operation, or how the server will behave when facing abnormal query traffic.
Therefore we recommend that server operators also routinely measure the behavior of their servers under normal load so that they know what a typical range is for the proportion of cache hits, query failures (no response and/or SERVFAIL response) and NXDOMAINs returned by their servers. It can also be useful to monitor record types queried, cache contents and other metrics. For more information about the statistics and counters provided by BIND, see: Using BIND's XML statistics-channels
What tools are available for measuring query performance?
There are several tools available for measuring a DNS server's query performance. Most of them operate by sending a pre-determined stream of queries to the server under test. Some of them self-throttle, monitoring the server's responsiveness and limiting further queries when the tool determines (per its internal metrics) that the server is starting to falter. Different tools use different internal metrics to determine the target server's responsiveness and thus the maximum query throughput determined by each may vary. The tuning of and performance of the testing tool can also be critical to the results.
This article discusses the options and tuning of ISC's tool queryperf - with more details provided here: Some notes on how queryperf operates
Other tools that the reader might like to explore for comparison include:
Setting up a test environment
Testing of recursive server performance is sometimes considered to be an art rather than a science because of all the variables that need to be taken into account. For example:
Organizations running authoritative Internet-facing DNS servers are doing so in the expectation that they will receive queries. However they will in most cases have mitigation techniques in place for handling query storms and query patterns that they perceive as malicious in intent. Running extensive testing of a local resolver, that results in an apparent abnormal query load from your server(s) for some or many domains may result in a blocked or rate-limited query response pattern. This will adversely affect your performance testing, and might in some circumstances cause your server address or address block to be reported and blacklisted.
Assuming however, that you're reading this article because you're planning to use the queryperf tool to test your server, here follow some information and guidelines specific to queryperf.
Some notes on how queryperf operates
Note that most performance testing tools including queryperf are self-throttling. We could write a tool that sends queries as fast as it can get packets onto the wire, but in order to reasonably assess the performance of the target server, this tool will still need to match what it sends with what it gets back. This involves local 'keeping track'. Like other performance testing tools, queryperf has to maintain 'state' and counters.To run an effective queryperf test therefore, you need the machine sending the queries to be fast enough itself to manage both the sending and the tallying of responses (OK - this is not as CPU-intensive as being a nameserver, but it it is still significant), and have good network bandwidth. If you're firing queries from a slow box and/or you have network latency issues between the two boxes, the test results will be poor as a result.Internally, with each send, queryperf puts the query in a status buffer for 'outstanding queries'. The number of outstanding queries is limited (by default it is 20 - you can increase this using the -q option - but be aware that this also increases how many sends there are before queryperf pays attention again to inbound responses).When the test starts, queryperf sends until it reaches the end of the sample file or it fills up the outstanding queries array (thus by default in bursts of 20). Then it processes any replies received (which should empty the array some) followed by 'retiring' any queries that haven't received any response and are now too old. 'Too old' is by default > 5 seconds (you can tweak this one too using the -t parameter).There's an extra logic piece in here too - while it's working, queryperf calculates the ongoing qps rate and if you have set a target, then the 'retirement' logic will early-retire old entries if it's not reaching the target because it can't send because the status array is filled with queries that don't have responses. It does this by shortening the timeout period arbitrarily on that 'retirement' run through the status array. This is going to result in it reporting a higher rate of lost replies - be aware that this might happen when using the -T option.But essentially - if queryperf is not getting responses back, then that is going to limit its outbound query rate. There is some compensation for slow responders if you set a target qps rate - but queryperf still has to wait at least a small amount of time for the query replies before being able to send again. In the situation where you're testing with a server and client queries that are liable to elicit a 'bursty' type of response, then increasing the number of outstanding queries via the -q option may gain you a better reported throughput.
Adjusting the parameters to queryperf are optimizing its operation so that it more accurately tests and reports on nameserver performance. Adjusted tuning settings can remove the limitations of the testing tool so that it can more effectively stress the server under test - they do not change that server's ability to respond.
Very old query data will generate more query failures, SERVFAILs and nameserver timeouts than current data - simply because zones on the Internet are moving targets - what would have been good queries 2 years ago may no longer be good today.
Building queryperf
When you download and build BIND from the ISC distributed tarball, queryperf is not built or installed automatically, therefore you need to follow these additional steps:
queryperf parameters explained
While most of the parameters above are self-explanatory, it may help to elaborate on some of them.
You are almost always going to be specifying an input file with the -d option - see the section on How to create the query stream file at the end of this Knowledge Article.
This test will send queries (from the file qtest) for 300 seconds solidly to IP address 192.0.2.27, sending to the default server socket 53. There will be intermediate output printed at intervals of 60 seconds, and additionally a summary report of the number of packets with each RCODE.
How to create the query stream file
An input query stream file is a text file containing one query per line with the name first followed by the query type. For example:
You can sample the queries received by your own servers by turning on BIND query logging for a period of time, and then parsing the output logfile using awk.
A sample query stream file can also be downloaded from Nominum's DNSPerf and ResPerf site: https://www.nominum.com/measurement-tools/ (but this may not be similar in profile to the query traffic that your servers would be expected to be handling).

Question from a "19 Kids and Counting" fan on Facebook: Why did you decide to follow a style of modest dress and what are your family guidelines?
After I was born again and became a Christian, I really began to cover up. I felt like the Lord was saying to me, you know what, you probably shouldn't be wearing that. It's a little bit low cut, or a little bit too high, you know. I just really felt like I needed to obey what God was saying to me first and understand later. And then I saw in the scriptures a lot of things that helped me understand why I was feeling uncomfortable with my previous clothing choices. And I'm not saying this is for everyone because I realize different people are at different places and aren't always going to have the same way of interpreting things.
Interestingly, Jim Bob and I had a conversation at that point and I said to him, I really feel like the Lord is impressing upon me that I should be modest in what I wear. And also, that I really should be defining who I am as a woman by choosing to wear dresses and skirts. So Jim Bob said, what about when we're riding bicycles or going hiking? Do you think the Lord wants you to wear a dress then? How are you going to do that? What about swimming and all these other things that we do?
And I said, well, I don't know the answer to that, but I'll cross that bridge when we get there. I just feel like the Lord is saying, do this Michelle. Honor me in this way. I don't always know the answers and details, but I just wanted to honor him. And so I did. I began cleaning out my closet and I had to go shopping. I went to thrift stores and different places because most of my clothes were not skirts and dresses. I really had to do some research to find things that were modest and so I'd have more things to choose from in my closet.
As we studied as a family, we found we could come up with our idea of what we thought modesty was, but we really wanted to see what the scriptures said about it. Our interpretation was that from the neck down to the knee should be covered. By keeping those private areas covered, there's not any "defrauding" going on. My kids are taught the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled. We don't believe in defrauding others by the way we dress. And different people may be defrauded by different things. We can't control their thoughts, but we're responsible before God for our part. And so years ago, I just felt between me and my Lord that I really needed to dress modestly.
We always tell our children, go to his word. It's not about these rigid standards. I meet many different people along life's way and I hear some people say they are so sick of rules and regulations, and they go on and on about how they were raised in a certain denomination. I'm hearing what they're saying, but I don't understand it because that's not where I came from. It's not drudgery; it really is a joy to see what God says about things and bring that into our lives.

SOURCE: Horizon Pharma
December 21, 2012 07:30 ET
DEERFIELD, IL--(Marketwire - Dec 21, 2012) - Horizon Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: HZNP) today announced that the United Kingdom (UK) Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), based on the favorable recommendation of their Commission on Human Medicines (CHM), will grant a Marketing Authorization (MA) for DUEXIS® (ibuprofen/famotidine), pending review of updated licensing documents which the Company has provided to the MHRA. The MA of DUEXIS is for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to decrease the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers. DUEXIS is approved and available in the United States.
The positive decision from the MHRA is the final regulatory step for DUEXIS to be marketed in the UK. The Company anticipates that granting of the UK Marketing Authorization for DUEXIS will facilitate progressive approval of the product in additional EU Member States through the Mutual Recognition Procedure under EU pharmaceutical law. Under this procedure, the UK will act as the Reference Member State.
"The approval of DUEXIS in the UK is the first step in gaining broad approval across Europe," said Timothy P. Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon Pharma. "We will be seeking a potential commercial partner in the UK and other EU Member States where DUEXIS may be approved. Our primary focus remains in the U.S. where we believe the vast majority of the global NSAID market opportunity exists."
Horizon originally submitted its Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in October 2010 to the MHRA through the Decentralized Procedure, with the UK as the Reference Member State. The Company subsequently modified the MAA submission in February 2012 to include the facility that serves as the primary manufacturing site for DUEXIS.
About DUEXIS
DUEXIS, a proprietary single-tablet fixed dose combination of the NSAID ibuprofen and the histamine H2-receptor antagonist famotidine, is indicated in the U.S. for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and to decrease the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers, which in the clinical trials was defined as a gastric and/or duodenal ulcer, in patients who are taking ibuprofen for those indications. The clinical trials primarily enrolled patients less than 65 years of age without a prior history of gastrointestinal ulcer. Controlled trials do not extend beyond 6 months. For more information, please visit www.DUEXIS.com.
Important safety information
Risk of Serious Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Events
See full Prescribing Information for complete boxed warning (according to the U.S. FDA approval)
Ibuprofen, a component of DUEXIS, may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. Risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.
DUEXIS is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, a component of DUEXIS, increase the risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions, including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. Reactions can occur at any time without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk.
DUEXIS should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria or allergic reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylaxis with NSAIDs has been reported in such patients. DUEXIS is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. DUEXIS is contraindicated in patients in late stages of pregnancy as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus may occur. DUEXIS should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to other H2-receptor antagonists. Cross sensitivity with other H2-receptor antagonists has been observed.
When active and clinically significant bleeding from any source occurs in patients receiving DUEXIS, the treatment should be withdrawn.
NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, which is a component of DUEXIS tablets, can lead to onset of new hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension, either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of cardiovascular events. Monitor blood pressure closely during treatment with DUEXIS.
Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs. DUEXIS should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure.
Long-term administration of NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, which is a component of DUEXIS tablets, has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury. Use DUEXIS with caution in patients at risk (e.g., the elderly; those with renal impairment, heart failure or liver impairment and those taking diuretics or ACE inhibitors).
Hepatic injury ranging from transaminase elevations to liver failure can occur. If clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if systemic manifestations occur, DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately.
Anaphylaxis may occur in patients with the aspirin triad or in patients without prior exposure to DUEXIS. If an anaphylactoid reaction occurs, DUEXIS should be discontinued immediately.
Serious skin reactions, including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, which can be fatal, can occur. Discontinue DUEXIS if rash or other signs of local skin reaction occur.
Nursing mothers should use DUEXIS with caution, as it is not known if ibuprofen is excreted in human milk and famotidine is excreted in human milk.
The most common adverse reactions (≥1% and greater than ibuprofen alone) were nausea, diarrhea, constipation, upper abdominal pain and headache.
For further information on DUEXIS, please see full Prescribing Information at www.DUEXIS.com.
About Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. It is the most common form of arthritis and the most common cause of chronic pain, affecting an estimated 27 million individuals in the U.S. Worldwide, an estimated 9.6% of men and 18% of women 60 years of age and older have symptomatic OA.
OA is caused by various factors, including older age, being overweight, joint injury or stress, heredity and muscle weakness. OA commonly affects the hands, spine or large weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and knees.
About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that causes pain, stiffness and swelling, primarily in the joints. RA affects approximately 1.8 million people in the U.S. and is not associated with factors such as aging. Worldwide, RA has an estimated prevalence of 0.3 to 1% of the total adult population.
RA occurs when the body's immune system malfunctions, attacking healthy tissue and causing inflammation, which leads to pain and swelling in the joints and may eventually cause permanent joint damage and painful disability. The primary symptoms of RA include progressive immobility and pain, especially in the morning, with long-term sufferers experiencing continual joint destruction for the remainder of their lives.
About Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive, connective tissue disorder that is characterized by inflammation of the joints of the spine (vertebral joints), hipbones, and sacrum (sacroiliac joints). Symptoms of AS are similar to those of RA, including pain, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints. The disorder differs from RA in that spondylitis primarily affects the spine, forming bony outgrowths (syndesmophytes) between the vertebrae, which may fuse vertebrae and lead to total spinal immobility (ankylosis). The worldwide annual incidence of AS is estimated to be up to 7.3 per 100,000 individuals.

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

My mind was suddenly brought back to focus by the ostentatious clapping around me. The raging erection I had made it sod off that I was fantasizing for the entire segment of Tom's concert. I adjusted myself and joined the crowd in clapping but stared at Beth's ass with the fabric caught between her cheeks. I undressed her with my eyes, lifting up her dress, staring at the white ass I remembered from our connection.
"Do it," urged Jill. "Do it, Desmond. Rape that white face of his."

"Yesterday, 18 October at 18:06 CEST, the thrusters of ESAs comet chaser, Rosetta, were fired in a planned, 42-second trajectory correction manoeuvre designed to 'fine tune' the spacecraft's approach to Earth. Rosetta is now approaching Earth for its second planetary swing-by of 2007."
From here.
Maybe it is time to start a new thread...

Sinclair Broadcast Group is merging with Tribune Media because together we can help ensure the future of free and local television. Free and local television is an important part of the American media landscape.
From daily traffic and weather reports, to trusted local news and investigative reporting, to local election reporting, to the highest rated network primetime shows, viewers everywhere rely on local television stations for a variety of their information and entertainment needs. And in times of emergencies, local broadcast stations provide essential, and often life-saving, information to their communities.
We are proud to serve the public interest by providing this essential free service to our communities. But in today's media landscape, it is becoming more and more difficult to sustain this business model. Local advertising dollars are increasingly spent on local media other than local television, which means it is harder to cover our operating costs with advertising revenue. The costs of programming, especially sports, continue to rise, making it harder to afford and offer the best quality programming free to our audiences.
It remains challenging for us to get fair compensation for our channels that we distribute on cable and satellite services, simply because historically they paid us nothing for them.
Size matters these days. The companies we purchase programming from are up to 50 times our size. The cable and satellite services we license our channels to are even bigger…over 50 and 60 times our size. Some people say that the combined Sinclair-Tribune group will be "too big", the reality is that we will still be vastly smaller than the major forces in today's media landscape. We need this modest amount of scale to preserve the free and local business model that has served the American public so well for the past many decades.
The combined Sinclair-Tribune station group will enable us to:
• Compete more strongly for viewers in our local markets by acquiring high-quality programming and creating original programming;
• Invest more deeply in local news and community programming, which is the key to successful local broadcasting; and
• Innovate more robustly with new broadcast technologies that will bring mobility and other new functionality to broadcast television.

A new production of the Phillip Hayes Dean play "Paul Robeson" that was scheduled to open Friday in Los Angeles has been postponed due to an injury sustained by actor Keith David.
The play, a production by the Ebony Repertory Theatre at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center, had its first preview performance on Wednesday. All subsequent performances have been put on hold until David recovers, according to the company.
The injury involves swelling to the actor's knee, according to Wren T. Brown, the Ebony's founder and producer. "Keith was crestfallen that he couldn't do the show," he said.
Brown said the company has postponed the play until further notice, but is hoping to reschedule the opening night to March 21, pending the actor's recovery.
