New Delhi: Just days before Delhi Metro's magenta line is set to be launched next week by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a metro train crashed through a wall during a test run today. No casualties were reported, but the train went through a wall and barely missed crashing into the ground.
Delhi Metro is the national capital's lifeline. Tens of thousands of commuters rely on the Delhi Metro for their daily commute.
Here are the highlights on the Delhi Metro Magenta Line train crash.
In its official statement about the crash, DMRC did not mention if PM Modi's inauguration of the service, slated for December 25, would go ahead as planned.
In the wake of the Delhi Metro Magenta line train crash, Delhi Transport minister Kailash Gahlot said that there could be no compromise on passenger's safety. "I have sought a report from DMRC on the derailment of its driver-less train during trial run on Kalkaji-botanical Garden. Shocking lapse ! There can be no compromise on passenger safety," he tweeted.
Following the crash, the front portion of the metro train and a stretch of the depot's boundary wall was damaged, a metro official was quoted as saying by the PTI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently innaugurated Hyderabad metro ahead of White House advisor and US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump's visit to the city.
It is interesting to note that the Botanical Garden has been developed as the Metro's first-ever inter-change station outside Delhi.Once the entire corridor from Botanical Garden till Janakpuri West (38.23 km) is opened, commuters from Noida will be able to go to Gurgaon by changing trains at Hauz Khas.
Aam Admi Party-led Delhi government has sought a report from the DMRC after the crash.
The train crash is said to have taken place because the train was moved from the workshop without testing the brake system, according to the official statement.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation issued an official statement after the incident and said a high-level inquiry has been ordered.
"As per normal procedure prescribed, when a train enters the workshop, the brakes of the train are decommissioned so that the train and its systems including the brakes can be freely checked. As per procedure, once the train is again re-commissioned, the brakes should have been tested by the maintenance staff in the depot before the train left the shed. The train movement inside the workshop area is done manually and not by the signalling system," the official statement read.
"Prima facie, it appears, this was not done and subsequently, the person who took charge of the train from the maintenance staff also did not check the brake and proceeded with the train up to the washing plant built on a ramp. While stopping at the ramp, since the brakes were not available, the train rolled back causing this incident."
Officials have said the cause of accident is being investigated, according to news agency IANS.
The crash was reported around 4 p.m. when the driverless metro train hit a wall inside the depot in Kalkaji Metro station, IANS reported citing a Delhi Metro Rail Corporation official.
Delhi Metro's new generation trains that can run without drivers are also set to ply on this section. Movement of trains with a frequency of 90 to 100 seconds will be ensured using the Communication Based Train Control signalling technology. For the two-three years, however, the trains will have drivers.
The 12.64-km section was granted safety approval by the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety last month.
At the time of the crash, the train was empty. It went through a wall at the Kalindi Kunj depot and barely missed crashing into the ground.

One particular exclusive factor about Deca is the appeal it has got for the prior quarter in the century. In private arête, I have incorporated Deca with series of levels ranging from a hundred mgs a week to a couple of, 000 mgs / few days. Let us today look into a number of the causes of Deca's charm to be able to justify that.
First of all your generate several estrogenic or perhaps androgenic consequences, as Deca has a more compact rate regarding aromatization.
I use come to understand that Deca retailers fluid around connective tissue resulting in less joint aches and pains. You may weren't able to have an thought what is designed by "storing fluid on joints". In addition, you may wouldn't think the way to truly determine that déclaration.
Deca is an excellent anabolic creating fine acquire in developing muscles. This may be because of the sure sound low dye strapping to the Androgen-Receptor arbitrated side effects.
Deca in addition has a comprehensive productive life. Inside a different review of HIV positive guys, you can observe in which Deca created NIL side effects in total in addition to there was additionally a decreasing pattern in HDL cholesterol stage. In most scientific studies of HIV positive subject matter, it is also pointed out that it also improved immune system functions within them.

To the Editor:
In my Warwick Beacon letter (5/14/19), I sincerely pleaded with Ward 8 Councilman Anthony Sinapi to end his vendetta against one of the Warwick School Department's finest and qualified administrators, Chief Financial Officer Anthony Ferrucci. Obviously, and with sadness, this plea was not followed and Mr. Sinapi continued his vicious, nonstop campaign to have Mr. Ferrucci fired. His instigated resolution of hate will now be presented to the entire City Council with passage assured, shamefully.
This gutless and shameless procedure by Mr. Sinapi begs the question, "Have you no sense of decency, Councilman?"
No response is necessary. I already know the answer.
Eugene A. Nadeau
Mr. Nadeau is a former member of the Warwick School Committee.
Absolute rookie move that proves he doens't have the experience or wisdom to be on the council. I sure hope the voters that didn't do their research before electing him are paying attention.
sure, lettuce just keep folks on da council who will tow da line and keep the same chumps around who keeps messing up. sures been working fer da city.

The 10 Best Products at MWC 2014
- The 10 Best Products at MWC 2014
- Best Laptop
If you think there's nothing exciting left to invent in mobile tech, you haven't seen anything yet. And the biggest things are happening at MWC 2014. Mobile World Congress, the world's largest mobile industry exhibition, takes place each year in Barcelona, Spain, and plays host to more than 70,000 visitors from 200+ countries.
We spent the first part of this week hitting the show floor and in behind-the-scenes meetings, learning everything there is to know about the upcoming year for the wireless industry. Fortunately, it turns out there's much more going on in mobile devices than incremental spec increases and dubious software add-ons.
From online privacy and OLED displays to wearables and tactile touch displays, there's plenty of innovation at MWC. So with that, here are the 10 best products we've seen at the show this year. We're still waiting for prices and release dates for a lot of these products, and a few may not even make it to the U.S. market. But every one of these products is significant in some possibly game-changing way. We can't wait to test them all out in our labs.
Best Phones
The dual-screen Yotaphone debuted at CES last year, but this second-generation version warrants a much closer look. The new Yotaphone features a 5-inch 1080p AMOLED screen on one side, and a 4.7-inch, 960-by-540 E Ink display on the other. The E Ink display is now fully capacitive touch-enabled; you can use it to browse the Web or text in addition to reading ebooks. A 2.26GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and Android 4.4 KitKat round out the specs. The retail version will launch globally for 499; no word yet on a U.S. version, but we're certainly intrigued.
If you're sick of hearing about privacy violations, malware, and NSA spying, the SGP Technologies Blackphone could be your next phone. It's a distinctive, $629 unlocked handset that puts security first and foremostincluding your texts, phone calls, and local storage, thanks to the custom-built PrivateOS built on top of Android, plus third-party services and built-in tools for managing app permissions and Wi-Fi connection protection. It also packs a 2GHz quad-core CPU, a 4.7-inch IPS panel, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, and an 8-megapixel camera. No guarantees on actual protection from the NSA, thoughespecially with regard to email, which is out of Blackphone's hands entirely. Nonetheless, it's available for pre-order now and ships in June.
Samsung Galaxy S5
Samsung obviously wasn't going to ride on the Galaxy S4's popularity for more than a year, and the long-awaited Galaxy S5 delivers. It features a blistering 2.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8974 processor, a slightly larger 5.1-inch display with adaptive color and contrast depending on ambient lighting, a fingerprint sensor, and a revamped 16-megapixel camera that emphasizes simplicity and autofocus speed. (For more, read The Most Intriguing Samsung Galaxy S5 Features.) Samsung also tones down the custom TouchWiz UI a bit, which is even more welcome news. We can't wait to get our hands on review models; look for the Galaxy S5 to begin landing in the U.S. in April, on all the major carriers.
Best Tablets
Sony Z2 tablet
Sony's new Z2 tablet is super-slim and yet still waterproof, measuring just 0.25 inches thick. It features a 10.1-inch display and a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU. Sony said the Z2 charges 75 percent faster than competing devices, and its 6000mAh lithium polymer battery delivers 10 hours of video playback. You get 8.1 and 2.2-megapixel cameras on the back and front, respectively. The Z2 also comes with OfficeSuite Pro 7 for slicing and dicing Microsoft Office files, while a companion Bluetooth keyboard and tablet cover stand converts the Z2 into a laptop. The Z2 is landing sometime in March; pricing hasn't been announced.
Huawei Mediapad X1
The Huawei Mediapad X1 was quite the attention-grabber at MWC, and justly so. It's a super-slim, 7-inch Android tablet with a tiny 0.12-inch bezel; it weighs just 8.4 ounces, which is several ounces under the Nexus 7 and iPad mini. Even so, it packs a giant 5000mAh battery for up to five days of regular usage. Under the hood is a 1.6GHz Hisilicon Kirin920 SoC with a Mali450GPU and 2GB RAM, plus support for 16 mobile data bands, and even a built-in earpiece and mic for voice calls. A tablet game-changer from Huawei? Don't count the company out.

Virginia's state legislature appeared to make some progress yesterday toward adopting the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, which would cover some 400,000 people in the state, per the AP.
Why it matters: There are only 14 states that haven't taken part in the ACA's Medicaid expansion. It gained new life in Virginia after Democrats made big gains in the state legislature, and ballot initiatives are one way — albeit not a sure-fire one — to advance the issue in deep-red states.

Why Marketing is in the Most Powerful Position in 100 Years
This program addresses the question of who owns the pipeline, sales or marketing and in doing so it becomes apparent that marketing not only owns it but is in the most powerful position in their company in nearly a century.
Why it's Important
Are salespeople just the closers and don't own the pipeline?
The sales pipeline, aka the sales funnel, is the long-standing measurement of the past, present, and future for a company. In the not too distant past marketing dumped demand into the beginning (top) of the pipeline and sales took responsibility for the rest of the process.
For years marketing has chipped away, usually unintentionally, at various steps of the sales pipeline to aid the salespeople. Most of this is made possible by marketing automation and telemarketing being managed by marketing. After reading some of the more recent research from Velocify of late and comments by people I respect, I think that the sales pipeline ownership has finally shifted from sales to marketing. Marketing in more sophisticated companies probably manages more than 50% of the pipeline steps now and to me, that means ownership has shifted.
Jim Obermayer is the host with the commentary this week.

Parents are "left in the dark" when it comes to school performance with only a handful of secondaries making information on attainment and curriculum readily available, it has been claimed.
At First Minister's Questions, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson quoted new research suggesting just seven per cent of schools in Scotland abide by regulations governing what information they are required to make public.
Ms Davidson said research by Professor Jim Scott of Dundee University will next week reveal how many schools comply with the Education (Schools and Placing Information) regulations introduced by SNP ministers six years ago.
The regulations state information should be accessible on a host of matters including the subjects available to pupils and the performance of the school at local and national level.
Ms Davidson said Professor Scott's analysis would show only seven per cent of schools make information on curriculum and attainment readily available while 20 per cent do not meet any of the requirements outlined in the regulations.
• Read more: Scots primary one pupils left crying by `cruel' national testing
"Schools should, according to this government's own rules, give parents clear data on the curriculum and on performance," Ms Davidson said.
"That's so parents can find out about the school they are entrusting their children with or, where appropriate, make an informed decision about which school to choose.
"Yet, according to Professor Scott, six years on the parent who wishes to make an informed choice of school has relatively little chance of doing so when more than nine out of ten schools fail to publish the information this parliament requires of them."
Ms Sturgeon insisted while there was a "wide range of information available to parents about the performance of schools", ministers wanted to do more, adding "that is why we have introduced standardised assessments to replace the assessments that were previously under way by local authorities"
The First Minister revealed that the Tories were going to bring forward a Holyrood motion next week for the abolition of primary one testing.
• Read more: Scots P1 tests to be overhauled but not axed
She said Ms Davidson was guilty of "breath-taking hypocrisy" as she quoted from the Tory 2016 Holyrood election manifesto, which welcomed the reintroduction of national testing in primary schools.
"What we see from the Conservatives is that they are shameless opportunists, they do not care," Ms Sturgeon said.
"They care only about the short-term political opportunity, they care not a jot about the school children, they care not a jot about standards in our schools, I think Ruth Davidson has revealed that yet again today."
The SNP leader said: "I want to see parents have more information about the performance of their children, that is why we have standardised the assessments that were previously in place, including at P1, in order that we are ensuring that teachers know whether young people are meeting the benchmarks set by Curriculum for Excellence."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, who raised the same issue at First Minister's Questions, accused Ms Sturgeon of refusing to listen to teachers and the teaching union the EIS on the issue of P1 testing.

An aortic dissection is a condition that causes sudden and severe pain in the chest, back or belly. It involves the aorta, which is the main blood vessel that comes out of the heart and carries blood to the body. An aortic dissection can happen anywhere in the aorta. When it involves the first part of the aorta close to the heart, the ascending aorta, it is called a Type A Dissection.
In an aortic dissection, there is a tear in the inner wall and blood runs in between the layers that make up the wall of the aorta. This predisposes the aorta to bursting. Change in the pattern of flow due to the tear can result in any of the body's organs not receiving enough blood flow.
Type A Dissections of the thoracic aorta are a medical emergency requiring immediate intervention. Many people who have a Type A aortic dissection don't survive, even with treatment.
What are the Symptoms?
Patients have described ripping chest pain from the center of the chest radiating to the back, between the shoulder blades, is a classic symptom of Type A dissections. Sometimes patients may describe mild pain in the chest, back or groin and it is easy to dismiss these cases as being musculoskeletal pain. Fainting can also be a common symptom and is associated with increased mortality.
How is it Diagnosed?
Diagnosis of acute Type A dissections is generally based on typical presentation, history and physical exam. The first problem is to distinguish aortic dissection from myocardial infarction. The diagnosis cannot always be made by history and physical signs alone. If suspicion is high for dissection, most commonly a CT Scan will be performed to confirm diagnosis and assess for surgical intervention. Each diagnostic test has varying pro's and con's and sometimes the imaging technique is based on presumed diagnosis, availability of testing equipment, patient stability and the sensitivity and specificity of the test. Each center may have a different protocol with regard to which tests to administer and in which order.

APOLLO TriPollar
Apollo TriPollar is a 3rd generation radio-frequency (RF) technology for non-invasive facial and body contouring. It generates the RF current between 3 or more electrodes and focuses the energy to the treatment area only. As a result, TriPollar RF delivers immediate and long-term skin tightening and rejuvenation, fat reduction and body contouring as well as cellulite reduction.
How Apollo TriPollar Works
TriPollar technology painlessly delivers focused and optimal radio-frequency (RF) energy to the skin surface and to subcutaneous fat layers. Controlled energy is delivered via three or more electrodes and limited to the treatment area. This focused delivery results in immediate visible results. For improved results it is recommended to undergo a series of treatments.
TriPollar allows practitioners to choose between body and/or facial treatments. Targeted facial treatment regenerates collagen fibers in the dermis layer. Targeted body and skin treatments shrink fat cells in the hypodermis layer and accelerate collagen regeneration.
Superior 3rd Generation Technology
Since both 1st generation mono-polar and 2nd generation bi-polar RF technologies are not focused, they usually require much higher energy to achieve results which heats the skin that is near the electrodes. This causes pain and a higher risk of burns and skin damage. In addition, these older technologies require cooling mechanisms to mitigate risks, which result in less efficient heating of the skin layers.
TriPollar 3rd generation RF technology has a unique configuration of sophisticated control algorithms that prevents overheating and eliminates the need for skin and applicator cooling.
This means safer, more efficient continuous heating, shorter treatment duration and fewer treatment sessions. Because of the relatively low power needed to perform Tripollar treatments, procedure is painless and pleasant.
Treat Delicate Areas
TriPollar technology enables treatment of fine lines and very delicate areas of the face without causing damage or pain. These include areas around the lips (peri oral) and around the eyes (peri orbital).
Collagen Regeneration
The elastic fibers of the skin, collagen and elastin, are produced by fibroblasts. As they are heated, they contract and collagen strands are pulled closer resulting in immediately tightened skin. The deep heating effect in turn accelerates the fat cell metabolism to augment collagen regeneration over the full treatment course. The desired result: tighter, younger looking skin immediately and long-term skin remodeling.
Fat Reduction
Heating the fat cells accelerates metabolism and causes them to shrink. The rise in temperature forces fat cells to secrete fatty acids (liquid fat), which are disposed via the blood and lymph system.The desired result: fat and circumference reduction and minimized cellulite appearance.
Treatment benefits
- Wrinkle reduction
- Skin tightening
- Preventive wrinkle and aging treatment
- Improved appearance of cellulite
- Localized fat reduction
- Circumference reduction
- Stretch mark improvement

How about "Great White"?

Dead to the world
Class 8 Crossive

How about "Great White"?
My CP photo alubum http://www.cpforums.org/gallery/album01
lol @ Funnilingus
i'll add my opinion....
hmmm... how bout Womb Raider?
In bleak description the waves come crashing; battering the very instinct of every lusting moment to fulfill this gaping desire. A mouth as dry as soot and how it once had tasted of life, fit within a moments time; And how those fleeting days laid in the light of blissful suffering. -me
I'll let this run a week or so, and we can see where we stand from there. Ultamately it'll be up to the four of us. Oh by the way right now the band name is "Phenshyre" Any thoughts?
I always suspect everything is a trap....thats why I'm still alive
Times fun when you're having flys
Class 8 corrosive.. eh there's been worse names.. at least this one's unusual and certainly not likely to have already been done
Edit: Fen-Shire?
Does that have to do with a hobbit than lives in a bog?
I mentioned in the earlier thread the name was in place when I got into the band and I don't think I ever asked what it means. I don't think it's a bad name but after the line up changes maybe we could use a change of name to better reflect the members.
I always suspect everything is a trap....thats why I'm still alive
Times fun when you're having flys
dried ice cream or death leoprachaun!
Im sorry but i dont think i like any of them
that makes no logic
I'm with you Starman......Racing Fate sounds pretty cool.
The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

There is a provocative — and excellent — article from Rebecca Thorman on her Modite site called 'Don't burn bridges' is bad career advice. If you think that keeping business relationships with poor managers, lousy team members and crappy companies is good career advice, you will waste a lot of energy keeping your sanity.
With all of the comments on the post, you would have thought that people shouldn't burn bridges with anyone — but people leaving companies burn bridges all the time. The problem is they burn the bridges with their great managers, cool team members and great companies. People leave their jobs and never even get the personal contact information of the great people still working at the company.
In an age where networking includes the planet, burning bridges with great people is a career management crime.
Keeping in contact with great managers makes sense because they are in demand at companies where action is the name of the game. Great managers want people to work for them so that the entire team accomplishes what they set out to do. By not keeping contact with your great managers — burning bridges, so to speak — you lose the ability to work the great opportunities.
Likewise, if we are truly going to find work that satisfies our souls, we need to work with people who bring out our best and where we contribute solid accomplishments for our teams. Unless you keep in contact with the great team members of your past, you diminish your opportunity to find important work with the very people you love to work with.
Not that you would go back and work again at a great company. But watching successful companies is important because they lead their industry. Their success requires other companies to change direction to match the success. Watching select companies in your industry or next chosen career area will teach you the latest trends and point you in the right direction to improve your job skills.
It's OK to burn bridges with the people you didn't think were that much into you. But people walk away from great performers with great support all the time when they leave a company.
How many great people do you stay in contact with from your last company?
No one can neglect this advice… Thanks a tons Scot for such a fabulous advice.
I have done that to some extent. I left a company a few years ago because of a bad, dictator like supervisor. I contacted a manager afterwords I thought I had a good relationship with and the door was shut by him. I can only assume in an age where lawsuits occur over these issues, I can see why the door was shut. Though I had individuals at the company who would vouch for me, they were not managers.
I struggle with the entire concept of references. More and more people are leaving companies because of being over-worked, mistreated. I run into these people all the time. I recently touched base with a colleague from a previous position 10 years ago who told me the sad story of how his career there wound down. One morning shows up with 6 guys from India he is too train.
The world of work has been turned upside down forever. And references and networks are going to be completely different for better or worse.
References from companies is problematic because of the legal issues. I get that managers are reluctant to provide references while still with the company; they essentially break 'business code of conduct' stuff in doing so. However, keeping in contact with managers is important and once a manager leaves a company, they can usually give a recommendation for work for you. Especially on sites like LinkedIn.
Your business network will continue to increase in importance for you to find the next job. If you are not building and maintaining that network right now, you will suffer as a result. It looks like you've been keeping in touch and helping others — that's the key to networking.
Thanks, Scot! This is such great advice that you shouldn't neglect the people that were good to you – too often we take those for granted. This reminds me of several people I should email… if only they had blogs! 😉
Yup, for all the screaming about not "burning bridges" even if the person is terrible, we burn bridges with great people all the time. All upset about the wrong side of burning bridges…

Last time when Koratala siva and Mahesh Babu united Srimanthudu happened which was highest grosser in both of their careers. This Blockbuster combo joined hands again for Bharat Ane Nenu and this created a lot of buzz among both audience and trade circles. After huge hype film released on April 20th. Film satisfied long wait of Fans.
Let's Have a look at Box-office Analysis of Bharat Ane Nenu:
Theatrical Rights of film in this region were sold for 22 crores and film crossed a share greater than 20 crores in 20 days. Film will end up as safe venture with slight profit. Film performed exceptionally well till 2nd weekend. Still film is super strong in all A centers.
Business for this region was done for 12 crores and Film didn't open exceptionally well but film was consistent even on weekdays. Till date film collected a share of 10.5 crores. It is 10th film to cross 10 crores in ceeded. Mahesh Babu is weak compared to other top actors in this region but Bharat ane nenu collected very good share in all A centers in this region. Film may end just short of break even. Still film is performing good in A centers let's see how it ends up in this region.
Theatrical rights of all area in this region were sold for 37 crores and collected close to 37 crores till date and expected to close at 40 crores in this region. Except Nellore and West all other area distributors are into profit zone. West can be considered as worst performed region for the film. Film performed exceptionally well in UA and Guntur.
Rest of India
Film Performed exceptionally well in Rest of India. Bharat ane Nenu creates All Time Record in tamilnadu collecting 4.2crore gross till date. Film also created all time record for telugu release in Kerala collecting 11 Lacks. Film also performed good in Karnataka. Rest of India rights were sold for 9 crores and film collected a share of 12 crores for 22 days.
Mahesh Babu yet again proved that He is king of overseas. Rights were sold for 18 crores and collected a share of 21 crores. Initially it seemed like it will easily cross rangasthalam in USA but it is still $120k short of Rangasthalam. Considering present run it will settle at 4th place in USA. Break even amount in USA is 13.6 crores and film collected 13.8 crores till 4th Saturday.
Bharat Ane Nenu is still strong in many areas even in 4th weekend. Film may fell short of Rangasthalam but it can be considered as Super comeback from Superstar after 2 back to back debacles.

Yes, webcams can spy on you. This one simple thing can prevent it
These days most everyone has a computer, tablet or smartphone. And what many people don't realize is that if any of your devices have a webcam, they can spy on you. It does seem like a frightening thought, as some people go everywhere with their phones and the thought of being spied on is a bit scary. The good news is that it doesn't take a lot of money to remedy this problem as all it takes a simple piece of tape. Believe it or not, tape is all that many people from the head of the FBI to the CEO of the world's largest social network so that it can work for anyone.
It was FBI Director James Comey and the Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg who made headlines when people found out that both of the men use tape to cover up their cameras on their computers. The FBI director said that it was a sensible thing. And Kevin Haley who is the director of security response at Norton by Symantec said that users should always maintain basic security practices so to prevent someone from spying on your webcam, including keeping operating systems up to date and being extra careful clicking on any links or attachments sent by email or social networks. Strong security software is also a good idea and so is tape. Using tape is that easy you just want to make sure that the camera on your devices is clearly blocked so that no one can see through the tape, that's it. You can use duct tape if you'd like but the tape may make your laptop or phone sticky when you take it off. You can also try some painters tape which won't leave behind as much residue when you peel it off. Post-it Note also work. Or you might opt for a webcam cover found on sites like Amazon; this idea also is affordably ranging in price from $4 to $10. And it's important to remember that while tape and webcam covers are a good start, it is not the only thing you should do to keep safe when using the internet.
Computers are a part of most peoples lives, and it is important to practice safety when using especially when it comes to internet safety and children. Children use a variety of online resources, and each can have different safety concerns. Some of the things you can do to keep your kids safe are to keep the computer in a high-traffic area of the home. Establish limits for which websites children can visit and for how long. It's also important to remember to practice internet safety on your mobile devices, so monitor things like cell phones, gaming devices, and laptops. Surf the Internet with your kids and let them show you the sites and things they like to do online. You want to know exactly who your kids are connecting with online and be sure to set rules for social networking, emailing, instant messaging, online gaming, and using webcams. Be sure to have a constant dialogue with your kids about online safety. For adults, it is important to remember never to post information that will identify you such as your full name, your Social Security number, your home address or phone number, credit card or bank account numbers, passwords, names of family members or friends and your workplace or favorite hangout.

Pedal on Parliament rideedit
Each year, a ride has followed a route from The Meadows to the Scottish Parliament The main ride gathers at Middle Meadow Walk, and then goes via George IV Bridge and the Royal Mile The ride down to the parliament is carried out at a leisurely pace as there are many children, some on balance bikes, and also people walking alongside that are not able to cycle for whatever reason It is policed mainly by Edinburgh-based Police on bikes, who also ride in with some of the local feeder rides, which can exceed 200 cyclists, and takes around 30 minutes for the end of the ride to leave The Meadows During the ride, road in the area are closed to traffic2
Participants in the main riders assemble at the parliament where speeches are then given by activists, politicians and others
A minute's silence has been held at these rides, to remember those unfortunate cyclists who have been killed on the roads3 In contrast, ringing of bike bells has also been used to celebrate cycling, and to signal agreement with speakers4
Feeder ridesedit
A series of "feeder rides" are organised from various locations around Edinburgh and Scotland These allow people to cycle to the event in a group, with the benefit of safety in numbers as well as being a sociable occasion The feeder rides are often joined by people en route to the Meadows, either at pre-defined points, or ad-hoc There was also a guided ride back to The Meadows along quiet streets after the event was over
Pedal on Parliament is a grassroots campaign which first organised a protest ride in 2012 in response to a lack of investment in cycling5 Before the group was formed, there was no national cycling campaign for Scotland6 After the large turnout in 2012, the group realised that their work would need to continue7 The group are now one of the organisations that take part in Scottish Parliament's Cross-Party group on cycling8

There's no doubt that television provides gardeners with inspiration, sound advice and good ideas, that's why we're all looking forward to new programmes and the return of old favourites during 2019.
Over several series, Alan Titchmarsh's team from the popular ITV programme 'Love Your Garden' has transformed gardens throughout the country using a varied range of traditional and new products, some donated from GardenSite and all available online.
Over the years GardenSite has regularly provided support and donated items to television programmes including Love Your Garden. A few months ago we were again contacted by the production company concerning a garden Alan Titchmarsh were planning to celebrate 70 years of the NHS.
Following on from GardenSite's successful television advertisements earlier in the year, Senior Partner Robert Hall explains why terrestrial TV is being used for the first time in the current campaign.
The Grange Elite St Meloir range of garden fence panels and trellis will appear on ITV's 'Love Your Garden' TV show with Alan Titchmarsh, Tuesday 1st July 2014.
The current series of 'Love Your Garden' came to an end last night. It once again featured an array of ideas, and used Grange Flower Circles to great effect.
Shade can be a very important element in garden design. It's also fairly essential if we have a repeat of the recent hot spell. Somewhere to relax in comfort, away from the intense sun.

@article{ref1, title="Identification of patterns of driver speeding behaviour and safety margins from tangent to curve", journal="Advances in transportation studies", year="2018", author="Papadimitriou, E. and Mavromatis, S. and Pavlou, D. and Yannis, G.", volume="", number="SI 1", pages="83-94", abstract="This paper presents a novel definition of drivers' safety margins reflected in speed profiles on a tangent to curved road design. These safety margins are based on a vehicle dynamics model, which is implemented to assess the speed variation at impending skid conditions from tangent to curve on the basis of several parameters. This model returns the theoretical speed-distance curve corresponding to the driver's maximum safe speed and acceleration when utilizing the outmost of the available vehicle horse power. On the basis of actual vehicle speed profiles, the model also returns the respective curve for the actual speed-distance i.e. the utilized share of vehicle horse power, which reflects the driver's safety margin. Data from a driving simulator experiment are used to test the proposed methodology, explore driver's speed profiles and the parameters affecting drivers' safety margins. The results suggest that drivers' safety margins towards the examined curve are considerable, with the majority of the drivers using less than 55% of the available vehicle horse power. Drivers can be grouped into "aggressive", "moderate" and "conservative" speeding behaviour, each group exhibiting distinct initial speed, "breakpoint" distance and acceleration / deceleration patterns. Higher initial speed is positively correlated with more aggressive driving i.e. lower safety margins. On the contrary, a higher safety margin was associated with earlier deceleration before the curve. The proposed approach yields a continuous and objective assessment of driver speeding behaviour from tangent to curve and the related safety margins, both for individual drivers, as well as for groups of drivers with similar speeding patterns.

Another Parade Disaster
Man! I get some really fucked up parade information. Yesterday wasn't the 4th of July Parade!! I spent hours in the morning caking on Uncle Sam make-up and BeDazzle-ing turquoise rhinestones into my red, white, and blue patriot landsuit to celebrate the birth of our nation. I get to the parade line-up at 50th Street in Manhattan and was completely dumbfounded as to why no one else was wearing our country's colors.
I got up on my stilts and surveyed the queer assemblage of a crowd before marching down the street.
"You don't look anything like lovers of America! You look like lovers of same-sex genitals!!" I pointed and laughed at the nearby dudes in thongs and rollerblades. "These colors don't burn!!" I chanted to the parade watchers.
"Whatever, Mary!" snarled a fabulous looking drag queen, as she kicked out my right leg. "This is the gay pride parade, you freak!"
"Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa!!" I yelped as my stilts went in opposite directions.
The crowd cheered as I did the splits all the way to the ground. Could this be any more embarrassing? Yes! My pants had the biggest rip right down the middle of my crotch! The tear was so gaping and far-reaching, my pants AND boxers were literally divided into two. As I stood back up on the stilts, the waist of my pants peeled away to the sides like a banana peel, revealing my manhood to all of New York City and its rabid, undulating gays. The crowd cheered again.
What's worse was I couldn't get off the parade route. All the sidewalks were barricaded! While covering my face and my dingle, I stilt walked as fast as I could the remaining 50 blocks and escaped to a nearby subway station.
Mortifying! To think, this is practically a repeat of what happened to me on St. Patrick's Day, too. I should learn my lesson and just stay home.

How many people have you met that just rubs you the wrong way? There are some people that you meet and you just won't get along with even as a Christ follower; and you really do try to find that common thing that would make you endure a conversation with them. I have met a few in my young life, even managing such relationship right now. I think sometimes, there is just that 'personality conflict' as we say in management language but also when you get to the root of things, the other person might just have some serious social or psychological problems which translates itself into bad behaviour with other people.
Personally, I find this the most challenging of my leadership experience. How do you keep smiling and being friendly when you would reduce your stress if you never see the person again? Hmm... life is not that simple unfortunately nor is the role of a leader that easy. A leader does not have the luxury of waiting to get along with someone before they lead that person.
We meet different types of people in our daily life; we 'click' instantly with some people especially those that we have things in common with and the relationship is easy and smooth with very little effort. But, there are other people that we need to work at making the relationship work in particular, when we work together and we can't really avoid interacting with them.
People skills is one of the core skills a leader must master. Simply put, people skill is having the ability to interact with (all kinds of) people. This skill includes especially communication and managing emotions (emotional intelligence). We already explored communication skills in a previous leadership nugget articlehttp://wecanleadershipinstitute.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/leadership-nugget-self-awareness-part-3.html . So the focus of this article would be on emotional intelligence - managing emotions. Emotional intelligience is the ability to recognise and understand your emotions and those of other people, and leveraging this to manage relationships. A person with this ability is aware of their impact on people and also understands other people's feelings. This awareness when used effectively, builds a strong interpersonnal relationship amongst people.
Apart from learning the art of communicating effectively with people, learning how to manage our emotions is quite important. We react or act to things or situations through our emotions. Our expressions tells a lot about our feelings without even saying a word. It is said that people might forget what you said but they would not forget how you made them feel. Emotions comes to play when dealing with people. The appropriate show of emotion goes a long way in resolving conflicts.
If you want to improve your people skills, consider and learn these skills when relating with people:
- Control your temper; do not react immediately with anger or in anger and never respond to emails when you are angry.
- Carefully consider the words you use with people (you can always see people's reaction to what you say from their expression or body language unless they've mastered the skill of managing their emotions!).
- Consider words other people use a lot; it gives you an idea what is important to them.
- Reflect humility in words and behaviour. Believe me, it does not make you look stupid and makes you the wiser person in the relationship.
- You need a bucket full of patience.
- Persevering in the face of challenges; do not give up on people or situation. Your perseverance can motivate and influence your followers.
- Learn to appreciate in words and actions.
- Take time to learn people's interests (ask them or find out from other people who are close to them) and use this as a starting point.
- Go the extra mile when it comes to people.
As you are learning or improving on how to get along with other people, likewise some people are learning how to get along with you. Last tip 'treat people the way you want to be treated'.
Have a wonderful week. Remember to let your shine all around you and add value to someone's life this week.

We had planned to go out on Friday evening, but it was bucketing down rain, and the weather map showed severe thunderstorms all the way to Columbus. So we decided that discretion was the better part of valor and delayed until Saturday morning. The storms cleared up by 8 or 9, and we had second thoughts about this choice.
We then had a beastly time trying to get to sleep in a room more humid than an aquarium. So we got off later than intended, with a breakfast en route, and didn't get to their house until shortly before 2pm. Oops.
For lunch, our hosts took us to BD's Mongolian Barbeque (URL http://www.bdsmongolianbarbeque.com, and boy did I do a double-take the first time I saw the URL.) I was pleased at the prospect, since I don't think I've had Mongolian Barbecue since I've come to Pittsburgh. I was even more pleased to discover that this was a very non-traditional Mongolian Barbecue place. There were lots of Western options on the menu, and all the combinations I tried ended up being extremely tasty.
In the afternoons of Saturday and Sunday, Blue was kind enough to GM Adventure! for us; I had not managed to play Adventure! face-to-face before. This was fabulous fun. We all were in the same groove and willing to ham it up, and our characters were so clearly distinguished that we didn't step on each others' toes at all, and it was great.
The sharp differences between my character and Lori's really fit well with the adventure. My character was an imitation of Nick Charles from The Thin Man, and Lori's was a super-ballerina who was a crack shot with a gun and had some psychic abilities. But I didn't have a lot of combat capability, and the adventure was fairly combat-heavy. The result of this was that Lori had fairly direct ways to shine by shooting foes, and I had to look for ways to turn the battles into ways that used my social skills--and doing that really stimulated my creativity. It rocked.
Their son Indigo has become very articulate since we last saw him. (Of course, we last saw him at Christmas, so major changes over nine months aren't implausible for a three-year-old.) He's very able to express what he wants with words. This, though, leads me to the fallacy of believing that it's possible to negotiate with him. This is not as true as one might hope; he's very clear about what he wants and very unwilling to accept substitutes.
Still, we were very happy to see Indigo and enjoyed most of our time with him.
After church on Sunday, we went to Bob Evans. My previous experiences of Bob Evans had been non-delightful--not bad, just not good. But in the time since I'd last been there, Bob Evans has improved their menu substantially. The pot roast hash and the chicken cordon bleu skillet were both excellent; we will be much more likely to go to Bob Evans in the future. (The service, though, was somewhat imperfect; three of our five meals didn't have their proper components the first time they were served.)
On the drive home, we stopped to eat dinner at Schlepp's Family Restaurant in Belmont, Ohio, because it wasn't a chain. We had some concerns about the place going in, but these were proven false. My broasted chicken was crispy on the outside and very tender and flavorful inside, and Lori's roast pork was very juicy and tasty. The pies we had were both tasty and seemed homemade.
All in all, an excellent trip. We'll have to ensure that our next trip to visit them is not so long delayed.
