From the dim oil lights of the platform, he could see gross misshapen faces eaten by disease, pressed against the closed windows. A few hands waved at him frantically as the train slowed. He felt an imperceptible force trying to drag him inside and he resisted, falling backwards.
Late 1898
The death train rolled through the night, windows shuttered, doors locked, and lights dimmed. It was on a one way trip from Mysore city.
No whistle to announce its arrival. Station masters along the route were ordered to allow the train through. It stopped only at Haveri station to take in coal and water. A few half dead, deformed people from the nearby villages swathed in blankets were pushed in. Cries of tortured souls sound faintly from the bogies.
As one person was hefted in, his blanket fell and the porters gasped in horror at the boils, warts, and pustules on the face and arms. Some occupants crawled to the door, begging for water.
The train pulled away through the night to Alnavar junction. Then it moved into a siding, entered a tunnel and briefly stopped. The driver Bhimappa pushed the throttle, released the brakes, and jumped off. The train moved onwards, to the incomplete bridge that spanned a dry ravine of Kali River.
The engine appeared to hang in the air and then it plummeted and crashed among the kerosene drums placed in profusion on the ravine floor. These caught fire, engulfing the bogies, and the hapless passengers. Forest tribes stood on the rim of the ravine and hurled stones on the few that survived.
Memories of the crash and his complicity would haunt the driver forever. He was from the Siddi tribe, many were fierce hunters, while some had joined the British government.
After the accident, no animal enters the area, no bird flies over it, no tree grows there. It is unholy and villagers speak of howling and moaning in the night, and of misshapen forms that roam the ravine seeking warm flesh to kill. Over the years, many died, eaten by the demons.
British engineers had earlier dammed the ravine to make an irrigation canal and to construct the bridge, and this work was abandoned. They, brought down the tunnel, and posted warning signs. Official records were expunged of this accident.
Now – Early 1940s
Shirish Kulkarni, station master at Alnavar junction in Dharward stared aghast open at the rushing behemoth as it came in the darkness. No information, no whistle or lights, just a mass of steel that hurtled down the track.
He looked at the engine, and imagined that the front looked like a grinning macabre skull.
From the dim oil lights of the platform, he could see gross misshapen faces eaten by disease, pressed against the closed windows. A few hands waved at him frantically as the train slowed. He felt an imperceptible force trying to drag him inside and he resisted, falling backwards.
The train chugged on, moved over the switch rails and sped along the disused and junked siding. The siding led to the collapsed tunnel and on to a broken bridge.
In seconds the train disappeared into the tunnel and he heard a crash.
He began shouting hoarsely and ran behind the train and came to the siding. The large iron barricade across the rails stood intact. He climbed over and came to the blocked tunnel mouth expecting to see it smashed. It was crumbling but it was intact.
His head spun and his mind was in turmoil. Was it a train he had seen? Did he hear a crash? Where was it? Why did the barricades and the blocked tunnel remain intact?
Then he saw an apparition at the tunnel mouth that emerged from the small gaps. He shone his lamp and saw that it was clad in a white dhoti and coat with a blanket over the head, arms raised beckoning him.
The guard, ticket clerk and the telegram operator came running.
"What is the matter Sahib? Why did you shout and run?"
Kulkarni gestured towards the tunnel and saw that the thing was gone. To save face, he murmured about seeing an elephant near the track and that he tried to scare it.
They walked back to the station and Kulkarni waited in the office for a telegram about an accident near the next station Kashnatti. It never came.
The story of the death train
As he sat thinking, the guard Advyappa came over.
The guard was well past his retirement age. Since he was sincere without any family, he was allowed to work, and live in a small room in the station. He came and sat on the floor and looked at Kulkarni.
"Sahib, did the people in the train call you?"
Shocked, Kulkarni got up with a jerk, sending the chair tumbling back.
"What? How did you know? What do you know? Tell me fast."
Sitting cross legged, he began. "Sahib, about forty years back, a terrible illness the plague struck our people. Mysore city and its surroundings saw the maximum infections. The Dewan sahib of Mysore tried to restrict the infected in one place, but the disease spread."
"What? The plague? Yes I have read about it. What has this to do with the train?"
Advyappa continued, "The Dewan rounded all the infested, put them on a train and saying that they would be sent to a safe place until they recovered. Alnavar was the last station that it passed. Then it crashed on the bridge and all the people died."
"What? The Dewan was not told that the bridge was incomplete?"
"He knew, yet he sent the train. He wanted to kill all the infected and burn them."
"O Deva. How terrible!"
"The Dewan died shortly from the disease. Legends say that a ghost train passes through now and then calling whom it wants, and takes them on their last journey."
"None survived?"
"Some escaped. Siddis say that the survivors turned into daityas, malevolent flesh eaters. They are the undead and they infest the ravine and kill."
"Why does that apparition come to me?"
"Since you are the station master, they want to kill you?"
Kulkarni had recently joined the railways and this was his first posting. A railway job was for life and he could retire with a nice pension. His plan was to work, study, and appear for the ICS examination.
His grandmothers' village Hindasgeri was nearby though he had never visited it. His father had died when he was young and his mother had brought him up in the nearby Dharwad town.
He was worried about the train. Was it real? What was that figure he saw at the tunnel mouth? Brooding, he went to sleep.
A scraping sound on the window jerked him awake. He pushed the window panes and looked out. Something shadowy swayed under the trees, the form unclear.
Grabbing a stick and his oil lamp, he went outside, the light barely penetrating the dark night. The shadowy form retreated into the thicket and he followed.
"Who is it? What do you want?"
No answer, just a stirring in the bushes.
He went ahead with the stick raised in one hand and the lamp in the other and pushed into a clearing.
A revolting and nauseous smell of rotting flesh hit him and he stepped back. The figure he had seen at the tunnel mouth emerged from the shadows. The hands were outstretched as it came near.
Kulkarni lifted his lamp and stood petrified with terror as he looked at the face. It was a mass of rotting flesh and bubbles that oozed pus. It was a daitya.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
It raised skeletal hands that dripped gristle and gestured at him to come near. Kulkarni looked beyond the figure and saw more shapes crowding in.
Panicking, he stumbled back and rant to his house. Bolting the door, he peered out of the window and saw the shapes fading away. Kulkarni spent the night with his stick ready to beat the demons if they came again.
As a station master, Kulkarni often rode on the handcart trolley to inspect the tracks. Two laborers would push the trolley and crank the handles while he and his assistant looked at the tracks and noted problems.
The main fear was landslides that washed away the tracks. Elephants often tried to dig up the rails, or charge the train. Once, he had and his gang had frantically outrun a tiger that chased them. He sat on the officers' seat with his stick and watched the tracks.
Soon they were near the siding that led to the tunnel. Imperceptibility, the trolley picked speed and instead of the main track, it moved to the siding and the tunnel.
He screamed loudly, "Why are you going there. Pull the brakes, it is a dead end."
He turned to his assistant and his blood froze when he saw a face with blisters grinning back. He looked at the workers and saw skeletal hands dripping with gristle rhythmically pumping the handles.
He tried to jump off but something gripped his arm. The barrier came up and the trolley pushed through unscathed. The blocked tunnel was seconds away and he braced for the impact.
They went through the wall unharmed and then the trolley halted in the tunnel. Sun rays wafted from the ventilation openings in the roof and from the broken sections of the wall. The beams cast dim shadows that danced on the floor.
He saw a number of dark forms rising from corners. In the distance, sunlight framed the open end of the tunnel.
His assistant rose and gripped his arms, the skeleton fingers piercing his flesh.
It opened its mouth and leathery scaled insects flew out, swarming towards Kulkarni. As they buzzed around his face seeking to enter the mouth, he could see gnashing glittering teeth that lit up when a beam fell on them.
He jumped from the trolley and ran towards the tunnel mouth. Bony fingers rose from the tracks and grasped at his ankles almost tripping him. He ran on and broke through the mouth and on to the bridge. He stopped at the edge, looking down at the rocks below.
Behind, the ghouls were drifting in, bony fingers stretched out. Down below, he could see the burnt wreck of the derailed train. He could make out movement on the floor as more demins emerged from the wreck.
The daityas from the tunnel were closing on him and he moved back, slipped and tumbled down, catching a broken rail and hung over the ravine. The ones below were reaching out, the daityas hovered above, boils and warts bubbled from the bones of the face, and swarms of insects flew out.
His hand slipped and he fell. The forms flattened with his weight and he could see dark fluids oozing out from the crushed bodies. The daityas were relentless, grabbed and pulled him into their midst. He knew he would die a painful death.
Pushing the horde, Kulkarni ran on the dry river bed to the boulders at the end. He scrambled up the rock, tearing his hands and slipping. The daityas were scrambling up, reaching to catch him. The top was about ten feet away, and he felt hands grasping his shoes then the ankles.
Suddenly, stones started falling on the horde, missing his head by inches. He squinted through his sweat and saw a group of forest dwellers flinging stones and driving the demons away. Hands reached down and pulled him to safety, and he swooned.
Rescue and answers
Through a daze, he recalled being carried through the forest, and placed on a straw bed under a tree. He woke shortly, trying to get up, and someone helped him up.
Villagers were squatting on the ground, some in their dhotis, and others in trousers, and females in sarees.
He drank a pot of water and the leader of the tribe spoke. "Sahib, I am Sidappa, leader of the Siddi tribe. What were you doing in the ravine? The daityas would have got you."
Kulkarni stuttered and stammered and then broke out, "I… don't know. I was riding on a trolley and then it broke through the tunnel. What are these things?"
"Sahib. You are the first person to survive an attack. Many were led the bridge, and they all died."
"Who are they, and why do they kill your people?"
"They are survivors of the deadly disease from the train crash. Our grandfathers tried to kill the remaining, but some exist as the undead."
"Some insects with fangs flew around me."
"They are minor forms of the daityas and enter the mouth to infect and posses."
"What can we do to stop this?"
"You should meet Bhimappa, the train driver. He is old but remembers."
They led him through the clutch of huts and stopped at an enclosure in a corner. A large hut stood there, and pitiful moans sounded from inside.
Sidappa shouted, "Bhimappa, come out. The station master sahib has come."
Turning to Kulkarni, he said, "Age and disease has eaten away his mind and body. But he still remembers and can speak."
An old, frail man with matted hair and beard crawled out of the hut and looked at the people. Kulkarni drew in his breath sharply. The face, legs and hands were black, diseased with dried warts and boils. It appeared that he was cured of plague but it had left its mark.
"We have a number of our tribe members that are beyond saving. They are held in that large hut."
Turning to Bhimappa, he shouted, "Ajja (old man), tell us what happened that night."
Through stutters and stammer, punctuated by gasps and tears, the old man narrated the story. "Train filled with the sick —- stopped in the tunnel … people opened the door and tried to come out … we beat them … the crash and fire.. many died." Then he started foaming at the mouth and fell down.
"Sahib, To attain moksha (salvation), the undead in the ravine have to be washed away by Kali River. Their souls are unfulfilled and need salvation. Our tantric is ready with the funeral rites."
"What? What can I do?"
"Come with me Sahib.
Sidappa led him through the jungle and to the ravine. Kali River took a horseshoe bend, with one arm flowing onwards, and the other blocked by huge boulders that lead to the ravine. His settlement was at the tip of the horseshoe.
Pointing, he said, "We have to blast the boulder wall here to let the waters wash away the undead. We need barood (dynamite). Will you please help sahib? Many have died, more will die."
"Did you not complain to the government?"
"The government wants to hide this crime and denies that anything happened."
Looking around, Kulkarni said, "Sidappa, if we blast this place, your settlement and people will also be washed away."
"So be it."
"What? You will move your people away?"
"Let me see what can be done. It will require a lot of dynamite."
They led him through a forest trail back to the station.
Blasting the ravine wall
As the station master, Kulkarni managed stores and inventory needed for track building and maintenance. Dynamite was sometimes needed to blast rocks for laying tracks. Some stock was in the stores. Maybe, he could lift the explosives and then say that rain damaged the stock? This was a common problem in this tropical jungle.
He sent word through Advyappa to Sidappa and the tribal came over. They both stood sorrowfully in front of Kulkarni.
"What is the matter?"
"Sahib, the train driver Sidappa killed himself today. He jumped into the ravine."
"Why did he do that?"
"Perhaps, he was consumed by his guilt of the accident."
"Very sad. He was following orders. Anyway, I have a solution to this problem. Will you help?"
"Certainly sahib."
"I have dynamite. Does anyone know how to use it?"
Sidappa broke out, "I know Sahib. I served in the railway when I was young and laid tracks."
Kulkarni looked at the tribal skeptically. Sidappa guessed the doubts and said, "Sahib, I can show my pension slips and uniform."
Shrugging his shoulders, Kulkarni said, "My plan is to blast the retaining wall that blocks the flow. River Kali will rush in and take away the tortured souls."
"We are ready."
Kulkarni asked them to come in the night and take the explosives and the fuse wires. This was risky. If the tribal misjudged the timing, they would be blown up.
Kulkarni, Sidappa, Advyappa, a couple of tribal's and a tantric set off after the last train passed. Kulkarni felt something was wrong when he saw his gang walking without any trouble, while he stumbled on the rough floor and on the roots. They were almost gliding on the floor.
The half moon had slid behind clouds and it was grey darkness. He slipped and reached out to grasp a nearby shoulder.
He felt bones instead of flesh, and looked with his mouth open at the people.
They had transformed to what they were, daityas.
He wanted to run but a skeletal hand held his arm.
A dry voice rasped and he strained to hear the words. "Do not worry sahib. We are good daityas, but we also need moksha and want our sins be washed away by Kali River. No harm will come to you."
When they entered a clearing, Kulkarni glanced at them and saw the haggard, diseased faces, filled with warts and pustules. Even the tantric limped along, sores oozing from holes in the skull and his throat.
Sidappa continued, "When the train derailed, pestilence flew all around, infecting our tribe. The illness affects people in different ways. Some are possessed, and it eats the mind, and infects the body. Some turn to evil and they are in the ravine. Others like us are good. We show our true form in the night."
There was nothing else Kulkarni could do but go along. Soon they were at the horseshoe embankment. The river flowed on the right; the dry ravine was on the left.
The transformed tantric sat down and started his rituals. He placed lemons, chilies, flowers, and threw turmeric powder. Lighting a small fire, he started rasping the funeral mantras (chants).
Sidappa tied a rope on a boulder at the top and dropped the end into the ravine.
"Sahib. Place these dynamite sticks among rocks and in the openings. Be sure to tie the fuse wire. I will go down from this side."
While Kulkarni was fit, he was not used to dangling over a ravine on a rope with dynamite. The moon had come out from behind the clouds and he could see somewhat. He started moving down, clutching at the rocks, inserting the sticks and fixing the fuse. Sidappa was a tribal, used to climbing, and he was fast.
When he was halfway down, Kulkarni realized that the floor was a roiling mass of moving grey shapes. The undead had awakened and they were climbing up on the rocks. The Siddi tribal's started throwing stones, and a few missed him by whiskers.
Glancing at the bridge he saw the death train coming, and it would crash on the broken bridge and into the ravine. Kulkarni could either continue or meet his doom, or he could run away. He chose to complete his task.
As he placed the last stick, they caught him. This time there was no escaping and he was pulled down into the mass. He fought but they were too many. They tore his clothes and tried to stick their fingers in his mouth.
Hot, putrid skulls brushed against his face, the dry gristle rubbing his skin. A score of the fanged insets flew around waiting to enter his mouth and posses his body.
Sidappa had climbed back and watched the struggle. Shaking his head, he lit the fuse and stood waiting. The dynamite exploded bringing down the embankment.
A huge head of water flowed washed through the ravine carrying everything in its path. His tribe was also swept away, and their settlement was now under deep waters..
Kulkarni felt the mass of beings pulled away then felt the shock of wave as the flood tossed him like a leaf. The river flowed in spate dragging him along.
Villagers found him washed up on a bank several miles away. He was badly bruised, but would recover. He would have an explanation to give, but he was alive and the danger was gone.
He stared with blurred eyes across the waters and fancied he saw Sidappa bowing and thanking him with a namaskar. The tormented souls had attained moksha.

The Rare Celebration on New Year's in Dubai
In Dubai, New Year's is celebrated a little differently than in most places. For one, the city comes to a standstill as everyone heads indoors to avoid the heat. And instead of countdown parties and fireworks displays, locals mark the occasion with a more subdued affair.
#34 in the life of Aksh
One warm hug, and I melt like a candle.
I am in a rush of emotions. My mind is trying to process the events that have unfolded in my life over the last few months. A bachelor kid out of grad school has a life partner now! There is no definition to the level of belongingness this brings to my life. Every day feels natural, yet different. The way she integrates her life with mine is comforting. I feel welcomed and loved much more than I ever was. It is a different kind of love — one in which care feels eternal.

The Comfort of Companionship
Last week has given my life a turn. I am now looking forward to companionship. I never realized that I had the provision to share myself with someone else. Since I have started sharing, I feel that the gap that existed inside me, in keeping everything internal, can now be filled by sharing it with someone else - what I feel, how I observe, what I like/dislike, and my opinions.

Content Marketing Plan?
Content writing is about emotional connection. You write for someone, and this person is a stranger in some part of the world. You never get to know who exactly read your piece, you just know that you wanted to write for someone and someone did read it.
That raises an important question: who is reading it? Who is reading all the extra content each day? What should I be writing that makes someone read through the extraneous chunk of information that I dispense every day? Who has the time for it? Why would someone read this? Why would someone read what "I" have written?
#23 in the life of Aksh
It was March 26, a day after my birthday. I woke up and found myself a little under the weather. My body felt sick and heavy headed. I went up to my parent's room to check my temperature. It was 101!
And from there, I wore a mask and started quarantining myself. It's the COVID period after all, you can never be too sure. I didn't go to office that day, and for the next 7 days that followed.

क्या भूलूँ क्या याद करूँ
It's hard to encapsulate the inconsistencies that come in decision making. As someone who is a part of the management of a multinational enterprise, it is our job to think about the decisions that we take. Often, it comes down to circumstantial evidence.
#21 in the life of Aksh
I am back from Jodhpur. And, instead of focusing on the trip, I want to realize the difference it makes when you come home after relaxing. Let's just say that I am now super observant — I am noticing things and details that I would usually ignore.
#20 in the life of Aksh
The peace in the morning is calming. And, the sounds of birds chirping completes that. I went out to capture the morning breeze today, and it felt like I was capturing the stillness of the city, and the simplicity of bird movements. Every slight movement towards the peacock made me think about my steps, the cracking sound of gravel, and the state of flow of the bird. I was caught up in the moment of being relaxed and observant of every gestural change that was going on around me.
I have a lot of clips to share today, so, I'll have the visuals do the talking for this post.
#19 in the life of Aksh
I'm closing my eyes because I want this moment to sink in.
I feel the wind touching me.
I hear an orchestra of morning chirp by the birds.
I feel a sense of calm in Jodhpur.
This palace has the peace to regard.

Points of Interest > William Davies Co. Pork Packing Plant
William Davies was born in England and apprenticed to a provisioner. In 1854 he came to Canada and tried farming, but he decided that he liked provisioning better and set up a stall in the St. Lawrence Market, where he cured hams and bacon. He soon realized that Canadian pork was of high quality and would sell well in England. "I think you will say that the quality of the meat I send is as good as you ever saw," he wrote home to his brother in 1860. He soon opened a two-storey plant for packing pork at Front and Frederick; by 1875, he had bought the building. Trade increased rapidly; before long, he was shipping millions of pounds of pork cured in salt annually. Another product he developed was peameal bacon, which has won a place on the breakfast table around the world.
In 1879 he built a new plant on the south side of Front at the Don River. His building at Front and Frederick was later taken over by the J. & J. Safeworks, who incorporated it into their operations. It still stands there today in greatly modified state. At the new Don River site, Davies built a huge ice house to keep ice taken from the Don River and the harbour. He was first in Canada to install an artificial refrigeration unit in 1891. At this new plant, Davies began slaughtering and processing hogs. He developed an export market for his cured meats by shipping them to his brother in England; this side of the business continued to grow. He built the first continuous hog-slaughtering facility in Canada. At one time, William Davies Co. was the largest pork packer in Canada.
In 1891 Joseph Flavelle joined the firm and the company was reorganized as the William Davies Company Limited with Flavelle in charge. The company flourished and the export trade was actively pursued. The company established a chain of retail meat and grocery stores—another Canadian first. It was particularly successful during World War I. In 1920, a severe recession in the export trade caused all packing houses to suffer losses. In 1927, J. Stanley McLean, president of Harris Abattoir Co., arranged a merger with William Davies Co., Canada Packing Co. and Gunns Ltd. to create Canada Packers. The William Davies plant on Front Street was sold and most of it was demolished. (In the 1990s the remaining buildings were demolished in preparation for the Ataratiri project). The business was relocated to the two Harris abattoirs in West Toronto. Canada Packers Ltd., one of Canada's largest companies, was one of the enterprises that shaped Toronto into the commercial centre of Canada. The millions of pigs that passed through Canada Packers' doors gave Toronto the epithet "Hogtown."

My father knew Sherman Adams, Governor of New Hampshire from 1949 to 1953. Every Christmas we got a card signed "Sherm and Rachel."
In January of 1957, the Stevens High School Marching Band boarded the train in Claremont Junction, bound for Washington. This was no mere field trip – we were marching in the Inaugural Parade, thanks to countless rummage and bake sales, car washes and other community activities that raised over $8,000. It seemed like the whole town turned out to see us off and, four days later, to welcome us home at 2:30 in the morning. "Band Arrives in Soaking Rain," proclaimed the Daily Eagle.
After serving as Governor, Sherman Adams became President Eisenhower's Chief of Staff, a position he held until the famous vicuna coat episode in 1958. My father told me that if I saw Mr. Adams in Washington, I should introduce myself and send his regards. I promised I would.
Marching down Pennsylvania Avenue as part of an inaugural celebration was a uniquely American experience, a keepsake for the collective memory bank of 100 patriotic young Claremonters. Stevens let everyone out of school early to watch us on television – there was no such thing as a television in schools in those days. The pre-cable era reception wasn't very good, and we later learned that a Cold War army missile blocked the camera's view. I was oblivious to that as I marched along, playing my clarinet with Senator Cotton keeping in step right beside me. Governor Dwinell waved to us from the New Hampshire "Live Free or Die" float, just ahead. No sign of Sherman Adams, however.
We attended the inaugural ball and saw the best entertainers of that era, including Pat Boone and Abbott & Costello ("Who's on First?"). We toured the city, saw the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (as it was then known), and visited Mount Vernon. On our last day, we went to the Capitol Building.
And there he was, standing in the Rotunda – Sherman Adams! I went straight over to introduce myself. "Hello, Mr. Adams," I said. "My father sends you his regards." "How nice to see you," he said. "Who is your father?" I told him – Frank Steinfield. "How is your dear father?" "He's fine, Mr. Adams," I replied. "And your mother?" "Also fine." "Please send them my very best regards." I promised I would.
Later that day, as the train left Union Station, I told my friends about the encounter. "I didn't see Sherman Adams," said my friend Mike. "Well I did, and he was very friendly and sent his best wishes to my parents. Look, there's his picture in the newspaper." Mike handed me the paper and told me to look at the caption, which read "Sen. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire." I blanched. "They've got the wrong name." "No," said Mike, "you've got the wrong Sherman Adams."
When I got home I told the story to my father, who informed me he had never met Styles Bridges.

Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has pledged to create "enduring change" to honor the memory of Vanessa Guillén, an Army specialist who authorities say was killed by a fellow soldier.
McCarthy made the vow during a two-day visit to Fort Hood in Kileen, Texas, where Guillén was stationed. McCarthy said the base had one of the highest murder and sexual assault rates in the Army.
"The numbers are high here. They are the highest, in most cases, for sexual assault and harassment and murder for our entire formation — the U.S. Army," McCarthy said. "So we are receiving an outside look to help us to get to those root causes."
McCarthy said social unrest following the death of George Floyd in police custody forced the Army to take a hard look at itself, "and in doing so there has been a reckoning."
"We have to address the challenges and barriers that our soldiers endure. The murder of Spc. Vanessa Guillén has become a catalyst highlighting sexual harassment and sexual assault within the military," he said.
Guillén, 20, was last seen alive on April 22 at Fort Hood. Her dismembered remains were found in June. In early July, as police moved in to arrest Spc. Aaron Robinson, 20, in her disappearance, he shot and killed himself, authorities said. Shortly afterward, a woman identified as Robinson's girlfriend was arrested on federal charges of tampering with evidence for allegedly helping him dispose of Guillén's body. The woman has denied the charges.
Guillén's family said the Army's response was slow after they went to Fort Hood authorities the day after she went missing. The family says it believes Robinson sexually harassed Guillén before beating her to death. The Army says they have not found evidence of harassment, but McCarthy said the case is still under investigation.
McCarthy said Guillén's death was a turning point in how the Army handles sexual assaults and harassment. He announced "Project Inclusion," an Army initiative that will address topics such as discrimination, harassment, sexual assault and suicide.
"Vanessa was our teammate, and we let her down. We let her family down," McCarthy said.

Income Estimates And Tips To Run a Successful Short Term Rental in Napa, Updated September 2023
Here are some positive vacation rental trends to consider when deciding whether to rent out your Napa property as a short-term rental: One of the best ways to attract guests is to paint your home. If you have a large home with a beautiful facade, it will look more attractive and inviting from the outside. If you're looking for renters, the longer you keep your house boarded up, the higher the likelihood that you will be renting it out. When choosing vacationers, it's important not to only focus on the type of people who will fit in with your family. You should think about what types of experiences they might have that would make them fun to hang out with. Maybe a group of families who love hiking or biking would be a good fit.
When partnering with RedAwning for your property management needs, we can make sure your Napa rental is set up correctly and ready to generate the most amount of revenue possible per stay.

It Sure Looks Like the New All-Electric DeLorean Will Be Curvier Than the Original
In February, DeLorean Motor Company confirmed the DMC-12 sport car would be making an electrifying comeback as an EV. Now the marque has divulged a few more concrete details about the reborn '80s icon.
As previously reported, the battery-powered ride will make its official debut on the prestigious awards ramp at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on Thursday, August 18.
"Excitement is rising like the doors of our iconic sports car, and we are revealing the next generation prototype three days earlier than planned on the most prestigious stage at Pebble Beach," Troy Beetz, CMO of DeLorean Motor Company, said in a statement.
DMC adds there will be a series of activations and events showcasing the long-awaited concept car, during which the official name will be finally revealed.
In addition, the automaker shared the first official image of the next-gen four-wheeler. The new teaser, which is a little better than the simple silhouette shared in February, showcases the left shoulder and back tail light of the successor.
Penned by Italdesign, the modernized DeLorean takes cues from the retro DMC-12 that famously appeared as a two-door time machine in 1985's Back to the Future. Like Marty McFly's wedge-shaped vehicle of choice, the new EV features the original's trademark gullwing doors and louvers. It also appears to sport the original model's silver hue.
There are certainly differences between the two, which the detail photo makes clear. The image reveals a car with a sleek, arched roofline and far more curves than its angular '80s counterpart. It's also equipped with contemporary taillights that appear to wrap around the sides of the body.
Of course, the biggest change is the new edition's all-electric powertrain, which will be reportedly sourced from another company. CEO Joost de Vries previously shared that the setup will result in a solid 300-mile range. We suspect it's also likely to deliver more grunt than the original's 2.85 liter V-6, which produced a rather modest 130 hp and 160 ft lbs of torque. The new motor will also be whisper-quiet and produce zero carbon emissions.
Pebble Beach, here we come.

10 Feb Cisco earnings report shows infrastructure platforms, its biggest business, is still struggling
Chuck Robbins, chief executive officer of Cisco Technologies Inc., speaks during a panel session at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017. World leaders, influential executives, bankers and policy makers attend the 47th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos from Jan. 17 – 20.Jason Alden | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesCisco stock tumbled 6% in extended trading on Tuesday after the company posted fiscal second-quarter earnings that showed enduring struggles in its top product segment. Still, the company's results and quarterly guidance exceeded analysts' estimates.Here's how the company did:Earnings: 79 cents per share, adjusted, vs. 76 cents per share as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.Revenue: $11.96 billion, vs. $11.92 billion as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.Cisco's revenue narrowed slightly on an annualized basis in the quarter, which ended on Jan. 23, according to a statement. Revenue declined for the fifth consecutive quarter. The weaker economy has dampened the company's growth prospects, as have some customers' decisions to tap cloud services to keep employees working efficiently while staying remote during the coronavirus pandemic.In the company's leading product segment, infrastructure platforms, which includes sales of data center networking switches and routers, Cisco generated $6.39 billion in revenue, down 3% year over year and higher than the $6.23 billion consensus among analysts polled by FactSet."The enterprise market remains soft, driven by some elongated sales cycles and a continued pause in spending amongst some customers brought on by the pandemic," Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins told analysts on a conference call. While switch revenue was flat, revenue from routers and servers declined.The applications unit, including Webex video-calling products, delivered $1.35 billion in revenue, flat year over year and just below the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.40 billion. Webex now has 600 million users on average during the quarter, Robbins said."I think over the next year you'll see us actually — that portfolio will continue to improve, and I think we have a chance to take share back," Robbins said. Webex competes with Google, Microsoft and Zoom, among others.Robbins pointed to momentum among web-scale customers that operate large-scale data centers. About a fourth of Cisco's service provider revenue came from web-scale clients in the quarter, he said.In the quarter, Cisco raised its offer to buy networking hardware company Acacia Communications to $4.5 billion from $2.6 billion. The company also announced that it planned to acquire cloud communications software maker IMImobile for $730 million, and it introduced integrations of third-party tools for Webex.With respect to guidance, Cisco said it expects 80 cents to 82 cents in adjusted earnings per share on 3.5% to 5% revenue growth in the fiscal third quarter. Analysts polled by Refinitiv had expected 81 cents in adjusted earnings per share and $12.35 billion in revenue, which would work out to 3% revenue growth. The quarter includes an extra week.Cisco has concerns about its supply chain, reflecting wider worries about chip shortages, said Scott Herren, the company's finance chief."We are contacting all of our key suppliers on that front," Herren said. "We're leveraging kind of the volume purchases that we have, extending that supply chain further out, all with a goal of ensuring we can protect customer shipments. So there's a little bit of a headwind coming in those lines from just the current supply chain." The company's revenue and gross margin guidance reflects supply chain fears, Herren said.Excluding the after-hours move, shares of Cisco have risen about 9% since the start of the year, while the S&P 500 index is up 4%.Nominations are open for the 2021 CNBC Disruptor 50, a list of private start-ups using breakthrough technology to become the next generation of great public companies. Submit by Friday, Feb. 12, at 3 p.m. ET.WATCH: Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins reflects on leading through complicated times

Memorable Manitobans: Henry Woodhull "Harry" Forrest (1916-2013)
Lawyer, judge.
Born at Souris on 16 April 1916, son of Samuel Henry Forrest and Grace Helena Woodhull (1877-1974), he lived his entire life at Souris except for service in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War, from 1941 to 1945. After finishing high school in Souris, he studied law, graduating from the University of Manitoba in 1938 and joining his father in what became the Forrest and Forrest Law Office at Souris which his father had begun in 1907.

Four Sisters of Hofei A History
Four Sisters of Hofei: A History By Annping Chin
2004 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0743244664 | EPUB | 6 MB
The true story of four sisters born between 1907 and 1914 in China, Four Sisters of Hofei is an intimate encounter with history. The Chang sisters lived through a period of astounding change and into the twenty-first century. Unusual opportunities and an extraordinary family education launched them into varied worlds -- those of the theater, modern literature, classical studies, and calligraphy -- but their collective experience offers a cohesive portrait of a land in transition. With the benefit of letters, diaries, poetry, and interviews, writer and historian Annping Chin shapes the Chang sisters' stories into a composite history steeped in China's artistic tradition and intertwined with the political unrest and social revolutions of the twentieth century.

Yukon's long-serving house Speaker won't seek a third term.
Ted Staffen, the Yukon Party's MLA for Riverdale North, announced Friday he plans to retire from politics.
"I never wanted to be a career politician," said Staffen, 63. "I spent most my life in business. We have a great economy and I look forward to getting involved in it."
"A typical Yukoner," he adds. "Anything for a buck."
He frowns as a reporter scribbles down these words.
"Don't say that," he said. "It's not nice."
Is that a ruling, Mr. Speaker? "It's a suggestion."
And a characteristic one. For eight years, Staffen has admonished his colleagues to behave better.
"He's certainly improved decorum in the house," said Liberal Leader Arthur Mitchell. "He's been pretty strict about that."
Mitchell hasn't always agreed with Staffen's rulings. But he never disputed them.
He knew there was no point. "There's a saying," said Staffen. "The Speaker is never wrong."
Each Speaker brings his own style, and hopes he delivered his rulings "with gentle humour." He's proud he never booted an MLA from the legislature for misbehaviour, "nor did I want to."
He concedes during legislative debates, "once in a while, passion overcomes reason"- an understatement, if there ever was one. But, "if you look at other jurisdictions, our legislature is really well behaved," said Staffen.
Take the Northwest Territories, where one MLA hurled a cup at his debating opponent, said Staffen. "That's never happened here."
Staffen moved to the territory at age 20. He's worked in mining, forestry, retail and insurance industries.
A policy wonk, he wrote most of his poli-sci undergraduate papers on the political evolution of the territory. Once elected, he immediately sought to be Speaker.
"It's not the most glamorous position. But it's something I've enjoyed immensely."
Dealing with a Yukon Party majority throughout his tenure has simplified the job. In minority governments, when a vote is tied, the Speaker casts the deciding vote.
One perk of being Speaker is a junket to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association's annual meeting. Through this, Staffen's visited Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and Tanzania.
This summer, he's bound for England.
Once, Staffen provided information on Yukon's land claims to a Papua New Guinea politician. "She said it actually helped her," he said, noting a small jurisdiction can contribute to the Commonwealth.
Two other government MLAs have bowed out of the coming election, which must be held by October: Dennis Fentie, Yukon's outgoing premier and MLA for Watson Lake; and Patrick Rouble, minister of Education and Energy, Mines and Resources, and MLA for Southern Lakes.
As well, Environment Minister John Edzerza's future is in question. He's bedridden in Vancouver being treated for leukemia.
Staffen supported Rod Taylor's failed bid to become the Yukon Party's leader. Darrell Pasloski's win did not play into his decision to bow out, said Staffen.
"He wasn't my first choice," he said of Pasloski. "But I support him 100 per cent. I think he'll do a great job."

The Whips
New Track: "I Wanna Love You (All the Time)" - The Whips
The Whips recently dropped a new single, "I Wanna Love You (All the Time)". A rumbling, rhythm & riff combo kickstarts the track, as an admission of affection is confessed in sweaty, garage-rock glory. The raunchy, for-all-seasons, in-all-conditions adoration is expressed, punctuated by a slick guitar solo. You can catch The Whips this coming Monday, April 8 at Ortlieb's, where they'll be opening for Tommy And The Commies as well as France's Les Lullies.
Weekend Warrior, September 28 - 30
When local artists and businesses throughout a music scene unite as a community in celebration and support of each other, good things are the result. Philly Music Fest serves as an opportune event. What began yesterday at Johnny Brenda's with Pissed Jeans and Soul Glo continues for the next two days at World Cafe Live. Tonight, the elegant hypnotically galvanizing pop of Vita and the Woolf, the endless boogie of Low Cut Connie, the raw and ragged, sweat-saturated, surf-infused, garage rock of The Whips, and the earnest, scene-transporting, songwriting force of Waxahatchee are among those that shape its sonic surroundings. And tomorrow, Palm cultivates an experimental push-pull, hovering between tranquil waves and frenetic, unconventional changes in direction. The melodic, eruptive, dynamic swings of The Districts, the tenacious, cosmic-rocking, riff-combusting charge of Ruby the Hatchet, and the soothing, introspective vulnerability of powerpop trio Hurry are also slated for Saturday. Come take part in this locals only weekend! – Michael Colavita

New The Whips LP Available for Streaming & Purchase
A plethora of shot & beer pairings continuously flow especially in celebration of the Eagles ascension to the top of the NFL mountain. While you're sipping in celebration, another City Wide Special recently became available. The Whips' new album exhibits that sweaty, dirt-under-the-fingernails, riff-riding infectiousness that we've grown to expect. Stewing in time-traveling retro-rock, these songs feel like they were always there. Yopu can catch them at Ortlieb's on Tuesday, February 13, where they'll be supported by Madalean Gauze and The Othermen.
Weekend Warrior, September 8 - 10
Toward the tail end of last month, Oh Sees released their new album Orc (Castle Face Records). Stretching into a spacey psych-garage paradigm, the band shreds through the ether, while casting strange scenarios of odd artistic visions, projecting an idiosyncratic ideal. Tonight, they'll be supported at The Troc by the down and dirty pairing of garage-rock locals The Whips and The Tough Shits. The Whips' slithering, slack/surf-inflected songs instantly catch one on an enthusiastic hook-driven, groove-shaking journey. Add the instantly enthusiastic, get-down energy of The Whips, and let the weekend wind down commence. – Michael Colavita

The US Department of Disease Control (CDC) uses Microsoft's healthcare chatbot service to help people identify for themselves what signs could be COVID-19.
According to The Verge, the US CDC uses a bot chat service called Healthcare Bot from Microsoft to create an automated chat system, helping users to make their own initial assessment of possible COVID symptoms. -19 or not if they feel uncertain.
This tool to help people self-test for suspected COVID-19 will ask a questionnaire based on CDC guidelines for symptoms (such as shortness of breath, shortness of breath or lightheadedness), and factors. risk (such as background disease if present or exposure to someone positive for corona virus), thereby suggesting next steps.
In the next steps proposed by chatbot will have recommendations such as whether to isolate yourself or not, consult a health care professional from afar or go to the emergency room.
CDC's chatbot service will also provide additional links to information from health information providers and advice on disease outbreaks. However, it will not include information about corona virus testing points.
The system will also not diagnose or plan treatment, apart from general advice such as "stay home and take care of yourself" or "call 911".
This chatbot system seems to be a viable solution that helps to reassure those who worry excessively with symptoms that basically do not need to see a doctor. Since then priority medical resources to examine and treat those who really need in the current disease situation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, these chatbot versions are now available online at nine health systems and will have more systems available soon.
Those who know English can go here and click on the light blue box with the words Coronavirus Self-Checker to display the chatbot window and self-assess their health symptoms.

Alright consists of current and former members of local bands Late Bloomer, Faye, Earth Mover and Planet Creep. Alright's music comes whirling out in shaggy-bangs, angsty guitar, Converse-wearing bass lines and cannonball-splash drumbeats from drummer John Russell.

Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
You asked:
For the last five years (01/01/2014 to 01/01/2019), please provide the following information. Please provide the answers separately for each year.
- How many reports of sexual assault and sexual harassment were there?
- Of these how many of the victims were students?
- What were the outcomes of the report?
In Response:
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted within Northumbria Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held in part by Northumbria Police, however cannot be disclosed for the following reasons.
The information requested is not held in a format that allows its extraction within the permitted 18 hour threshold. There is no standalone offence code for sexual harassment, and accordingly each recorded harassment incident would need to be manually reviewed to establish if there was a sexual element to the offence. This exercise cannot be achieved within the 18 hours. We also cannot accurately establish if the victim was a student within the time constraints. Again each report would need to be reviewed to establish if the victim was a student at the time the offence was recorded. As we have estimated that to extract this information would take over 18 hours, Section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information Act would apply. This section does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the authority estimated that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit of 18 hours, equating to £450.00.
You should consider this to be a refusal notice under Section 17 of the Act for your request.
When applying Section 12 exemption our duty to assist under As part of your request would exceed the prescribed limit, as defined by the Act, there is no requirement for Northumbria Police to provide a response to the remaining parts of your request. However, in order to provide you with some assistance, under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, an initial assessment of the information that may be provided within the time constraints would be:
- How many reports of 'sexual assault' and 'harassment' were there?
- What were the outcomes?
If this would be useful, you may wish to refine and resubmit your request accordingly.
