Man, there are a lot of off days in June. In April and May, we had only two each. Then suddenly in June, we're hit with four in a fifteen-day span. Which means more rest, more deadlines to come up with something creative, and more puzzles for the players, for Sax and I, and for you all, respectively.
And they seem to have gotten somewhat more difficult as well. After receiving double-digit correct answers for each of the first three puzzles, none of the last four hit that mark, culminating in a season-low five correct solutions for last week's sound-it-out puzzle. Hopefully today's will be a bit more accessible, but I can never tell.
Anyways, those are just some random puzzle musings. Here's today's brain teaser:
Look for the signs within number nine,
Looking at eight? Stop wasting your time.
Seven's in past, yet offers no clue,
Six speaks of four, but is useless like two.
Five is reflective back onto itself,
Four may run long, but that doesn't help;
Three planned to help out, alas it forgot,
But signs are forthcoming? Apparently not.
Hint #1 (8:40am): 4,1,2,3,3,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,2,3,3,4,3,3,1,3
Hint #2 (10:18am): The 1st step is to figure out what each line of the poem refers to; then the 2nd step is to figure out what the puzzle is asking. Most of the lines provide some hint as to what they refer to.
Hint #3 (11:38am): Neither the numbers in the poem, the numbers in Hint #1, nor the puzzle methodology itself has anything to do with baseball.
Hint #4 (1:17pm): It's in courier type so you can easily tell which line is the longest...
Solution: click here.
Puzzle Rules: The answer to the puzzle is a Dodger player. Comment freely in the thread, but if you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the comments section. Instead, do the following:
- Email us with the first and last name of the answer, along with your reasoning (submitted answers with only the player's name, without an explanation, will not be accepted. Likewise, correct answers arrived at via luck or the wrong reasoning count for participation credit only). And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and
- Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt. I may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; I may confirm correct answers there.
You have until midnight PT tonight to submit your answer. Good luck!

Quote of the Decade, maybe of our entire American history
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

The United Kingdom, also known as Great Britain, is a country lying north of Africa and Antarctica (roughly 3000 miles south-north of New York) which is part of the province of Europe. It is the largest country in the region and is often mistaken for less important countries, kingdoms, and municipalities such as England, Scotland, Whales, and Northern Ireland.[citation needed] It is widely known for its quirky natives and imperialistic tendencies.
The region is considered by outsiders to be bafflingly confusing, especially in regards to the status of the locations. For instance, non-Europeans might get called a "snarky bugger"[1] for not knowing that Ireland is a separate island from Great Britain. Similarly, a young corker from East Hamfordshire might look down upon, say, an American for confusing England and the United Kingdom, and that American might be referred to as a "blooming git" by that chap from East Hamfordshire.
Britain, as a country, was founded in 1066 following the successful marriage of Elizabeth (2nd princess of Windsor) and Winston Churchill (who established the British clergy). Although bringing together the two powerful families was seen as a doomsday project by many, it formed strong bonds across previously un-united territories which lasted decades. These iron-clad alliances rusted when Winston was forced to abdicate when it became public knowledge that he was friends with Lenny Henry. By this time the monarchy was well established and the throne was taken by their eldest son Henry VIII. Despite Henry's problems with marijuana addiction, he led the country successfully for many years until being succeeded by his daughter Margaret Thatcher, who still rules Britain to this day.
Great Britain's decision to employ the outdated and purposeless monarchy system is perplexing. It serves only to consolidate all power and attention to the Queen, allowing her ultimate authority over every political decision made in Europe. Traditionally, the Queen uses this authority to mandate elaborate tea parties, which are usually held at the Queen's home in Buckingham Palace and funded by Great Britain's socialist tea tax. Most Americans look down on this practice as they feel it is a waste of resources; however the security for these events, particularly the elaborate headgear they are forced to wear, remains a top tourist attraction.
The country was named after the renowned composer, Benjamin Great-Britten.
The United Kingdom's main source of revenue comes from its massive tea export industry, supplemented by a burgeoning tweed market. Camilla cornwallis earlgreyis, the common tea plant, is grown exclusively in the southern regions of Great Britain. While the majority of tea harvested is consumed by the British, a significant portion is also exported to countries such as Asia, China and the United States. Britain only exports a very modest amount of tea to Asia and the U.S. but trade with China has always been traditionally strong. In an agreement formalised in the early 16th century, Great Britain agreed to give China 70% of the excess tea harvest. In return China agreed to provide Britain with Chinese made tea sets.
The British have always held Chinese pottery in a reverential awe and those British citizens lucky enough to own a set of Chinese tea cups will often devote vast amounts of time to polishing them. The British love for Chinese tea sets is so ingrained that a ritualistic ceremony has evolved around them consisting of taking them out every day at a set time (referred to by the British as "tea time" although it really has little to do with tea) and gathering around to admire them. This is often accompanied by a snack consisting of biscuits although, unlike other Western nations, the British rarely serve them with gravy.
Other large contributing factors to the UK's economy include profits from the Street Urchin's Guild, the Cornish paste industry, and Coldplay album sales.
Law and criminal justice
The United Kingdom's system of law enforcement is divided into three parts: Scotland Yard, the IRA and freelance inspectors. Scotland Yard employs a vast network of "constables"[2] to enforce petty law on the streets, such as traffic violations and vandalism. Their only pieces of equipment are a whistle and a nightstick, severely limiting their crime-fighting capabilities.
Thusly, most larger criminal cases in Great Britain are handled by freelance inspectors. Though these inspectors share similar qualities, such as heightened eyesight and cocaine addiction, they come in all shapes and sizes. Commissioner of Police Arthur Conan Doyle sheds some light on the situation:
|Some of the most legendary law enforcers in British history have been children, such as the The Famous Five or Nancy Drew. These young upstarts are few and far between nowadays, as most successful freelance inspectors stick to the tried-and-true stereotype: deerstalker cap, calabash pipe, and a trench coat stuffed with baggies of cocaine.
The IRA is the British bomb disposal unit. It is a separate entity from Scotland Yard and operates under the direct authority of the Queen. The IRA is widely regarded as the best bomb squad in the world and is directly responsible for preventing thousands of tragedies, particularly in Northern Island.
The United Kingdom is technically a monarchy with the Queen having absolute authority over all political matters. In practice, however, the Queen traditionally leaves all non-tea-related decisions to Parliament. The Parliament of the UK is the second oldest parliamentary system in the world, being modelled after the American Congress shortly after Great Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. Like the American Congress, the British Parliament consists of two separate houses, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
House of Commons
The House of Commons is restricted to members of the British royal family (70% of the population) and therefore is the larger of the two houses.[3] The House of Commons has traditionally been more conservative than the House of Lords. During the 1620s, Parliament was gaining more and more power and it was the House of Commons who stepped up and vocally admonished the British citizens, reminding them that the strength of their union went hand in hand with the authority of their Queen. After a prolonged debate with the House of Lords absolute authority was returned to Queen Charles I, much to the relief of British citizens everywhere.
House of Lords
The House of Lords was established to represent the British minority who have no blood ties to the Royal Family. As such, it is the smaller of the two houses. To counterbalance this, a House of Lords representative's vote is worth double of their House of Commons counterpart. Unfortunately,[citation needed] as the representatives of the House of Commons outnumber the House of Lords by three to one, this benefit is largely ineffective. The House of Lords is generally more liberal than the House of Commons. It was largely due to fervent lobbying from the House of Lords that women were finally given the right to vote in the UK in 1996. The House of Lords was also responsible for the UK's eventual adoption of the pound as the national currency in 2005, replacing the guinea. This move had been protested for decades by British conservatives because "it (the guinea) has a nice picture of a crown on it. It puts me in the mood for a nice spot of tea."[4]
The island of Great Britain lies just west of Russia, east of the United States and north of Africa. It is the largest of the 100 mapped and documented land masses of Earth, barely beating out Australia and Hawaii. Home to over twelve thousand people, Great Britain is approximately 750 square miles in area making it the third most densely populated island in the world with China and Ireland being first and second respectively. Great Britain is located closer to Scotland than any other European country, separated only by the English Channel, a mere 250 miles across. This proximity has been the source of many wars between Scotland and Great Britain. The main island of Britain is surrounded by several smaller islands which are not technically part of Great Britain. The most famous of these, the Isle of Wight, is a popular vacation destination for Britons while the Isle of Man remains largely unpopulated except for tailless cats.
The United Kingdom enjoys a moderate climate most of the year, receiving very modest amounts of rain annually. During the winter however Britain inevitably becomes frozen over. Travel in and out of Great Britain during these months is severely hampered by not only poor flight conditions, but the fact that the ocean surrounding the British isle freezes solid making it impossible to reach by ship. Due to the minimal rainfall and harsh winters, Great Britain is largely unsuitable for agriculture, the sole exception being the hearty tea plant. Britain therefore relies entirely on foreign trade to feed its population.
Major cities
99% of the population of the UK resides in its only proper city: Aberystwyth. The remaining population is evenly dispersed among much smaller rural hamlets such as Birmingham, Leicester, Ynyswen and Liverpool. London is bisected by the Thames river which is the source of drinking water for all of Britain, and causes odd smells after 4pm daily. Unlike other urban cities such as New York or Paris, most Londoners live in single-storey dwellings called "flats". This apparent British aversion to multiple-storey buildings has caused London to become disproportionately large. London is now estimated to cover 73% of the land mass of Great Britain and is still growing.
Political definition
At the local level, the United Kingdom is ruled by a vast number of Barons, Earls and Dukes. These noble men lord over the serf underclass known as the 'Cockneys' who work the nobleman's lands in return for his knights protection during times of war. A notable noble is Earl Grey, inventor of tea, and the Patron Saint of hot beverages. A Cockney can be sold at auction for as much as 12 Guineas in times of economic prosperity.
Britain is divided into four major sections: East Britain or simply England, North Britain or Scotch-land, West Britain also known as Wails, and finally Northern Ire-Island. There are slight differences between the 4 regions; for example, in Scotch-land a lord is sometimes called a Thane or a "Hoighty Toighty Baastaard". A Scotch peasant is sometimes called a "Glaswegian".
Scotch-land is the only region of Britain where homosexuality is not only legal, but encouraged. The Scotch, or Jocks as they like to be called, meet once a week at drunken orgies called Ye Highland Gaymes. These rambunctious meetings are famous for their cross dressing and tossing of telephone poles. Anyone caught wearing underpants during these sweaty meetings is usually executed.
West Britain is by far the least interesting of the four regions, as there is literally nothing to do in Wails, unless you're a big fan of sheep.[5] West Britons communicate in only complaints against you, the source of the country's modern language. It is an improvised language that shuns the use of vowels and sibilants. The capital of Wails is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Northern Island is the only part of Britain that holds a border with a foreign country, the Republic of Island. A common greeting in Island is "Aare Yuu a Prodastent?". The Islandish are known for their curly ginger hair, charming drunkenness and explosive violent tempers.
Britain's population is divided along strictly regimented class lines. Roughly 70% of the native population falls into the "royal" class, being connected by blood relation to the Royal Family. The remaining 30% is divided almost evenly between "cockney chimney sweeps" (14%) and "butlers" (16%). The distinction between the butler class and the royal class is marginal at best with the only notable difference being a lack of blood ties to the Royal Family. Most British butlers are very affluent as the care of the Chinese tea sets the British hold so dear is their primary responsibility. While being highly respected, Cockney chimney sweeps on the other hand tend to fare less well on the income scale. Cockney chimney sweeps traditionally make up the majority of the medical trade in Great Britain. Since the UK's health care system is socialised there is very little money left to pay them.
Marriage between the different social classes is sternly frowned upon[6] by the native British. One notable exception occurred in 1999 when Victoria Adams, a member of the royal class, married a previously unknown butler by the name of David Beckham. David Beckham, now retired, was a player in the North Britain Indoor Football League and it was rumoured by his peers that he often neglected his china polishing duties. Nevertheless Victoria was able to overlook his faults and the couple now reside in North Burminghamptonvillebergshire. The British public was outraged by this turn of events and the couple's wedding was plagued with protesters, many of whom wielding sticks and torches.[7]
Major settlements
In their days of glory, the British colonised the whole world, except for the USA where they had their asses whip-lashed. Their empire shrank in the wash, and now it contains mainland Britain, the orange part of Ireland, Indochina and Germany. Their former colonies now form a union called British Commonwealth, where they meet annually to equally share their wealth with each other. Notable members of the Commonwealth include India, Austria, Israel, Germany, Iraq and South Africa with the South Pole as an honorary member. The USA didn't join because they felt that their imaginary greatness would be degraded by the inferior nations.
India was colonised in 1814 after the Americans had run off the British in the devastating War of 1812. The fleeing British soldiers rounded up their remaining Cherokee and Macaw allies and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean until they landed in Mesopotamia, a dry and dangerous land colonised by Hebrews and Iraqis. The Indians were unable to adjust from the fertile lands of California to the heats of the Sahara desert, so they moved into Asia and started India. The British lords followed them into the strange land and made the Indians their slaves for the next hundred years.
India began its struggle for independence from Britain in 1945, while Great Britain was busy celebrating their victory in World War II in a nationwide marathon of tea parties. The British gentry were at first distracted, but quickly regrouped and quelled much resistance for many years. Though early heroes such as Gunga Din were able to keep the struggle in motion for many years, the call for freedom didn't gain momentum until former British nobleman Ben Kingsley took the helm. Kingsley, a fearless Buddhist prophet and disillusioned tea merchant, combated Britain by releasing Gandhi, a tell-all documentary about British tyranny named after gandhi, the Indian word for tyranny.[8]
Gandhi won eight Academy Awards, embarrassing Britain to the point that it was forced to sign the treaty ensuring India's independence. However, they remain a commonwealth to the present day, meaning that they have some sort of socialist barter network with Britain but the Queen doesn't actually get to push them around anymore.
Foreign policy
Throughout history, Britain has been the first to discover and enslave new nations and entirely new continents, such as America, Africa, and Australia. While some of the conquests went better than others, most countries of the world follow a simple formula: when did Britain own it, when did they earn their independence, and where are they now?
When did Britain own it: 1492–1776
When did they earn their independence: When Thomas Jefferson held the truth that Britain sucked to be self-evident, and that all Redcoats were created equally gay.
Where are they now: After thoroughly trouncing the British in 1776 America has gone on to rule most of the free world. America has successfully brought Democracy to many third world countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Kentucky. American relations with Great Britain remain strained to this day.
When did Britain own it: 100–1945
When did they earn their independence: France had endured many bitter[9] centuries of oppression following their dismal defeat in the aptly named Hundred Year War. Ironically, France would earn their independence by losing in another war: World War II. When Adolf Hitler pranced through the Maginot Line and annexed France, he released it from Britain's control. Britain put down its scones and tried valiantly to reclaim France, but it was overpowered by Hitler's first lieutenant Otto Von Bismark, who was set to conquer the empire itself were it not for the timely intervention of the American Army.
Where are they now: France has been accused of treason for opposing the Iraq War and is currently occupied by American forces.
When did Britain own it: 1788–present
When did they earn their independence: Still part of Britain, however much the British want to deny this. Great Britain's original intentions regarding Australia were two-fold. Firstly, the British were attempting to establish a settlement suitably distant enough from the motherland that they could isolate the poor minority, thereby eliminating any need to speak to them. Secondly, the British wanted to create a country with an even sillier accent than their own.
Where are they now: Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. While Australia enjoyed a brief period of notoriety due to the international success of Crocodile Dundee, they have dropped back into obscurity in the years since. While still technically a British colony, Great Britain hasn't had any formal communication with Australia in nearly thirty years.[10]
When did Britain own it: 1763–present
When did they earn their independence: They didn't bother. Like Australia, Britain still owns it. Allegedly, there are people who believe that this is an independent country, but anyone not having attended school in Canadia itself knows that this cannot be the case: Canadia is not actually a real country at all. Further proof of British ownership is found all over Canadia's Mickey-Mouse currency, which is currently trading at around the same level as Monopoly money or thereabouts, in the fact that every $20 Canadian dollar bill shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth. And a picture of the Canuck Road, of which they are rightly proud. In addition, Canada has a seasonal job of being "America's hat" during winter.
Where are they now: On top of America's head.
Falkland Islands
When did Britain own it: 1828–present
When did they earn their independence: Still part of Britain thanks to Queen Maggy. By far the most valuable of Britain's various colonies, and as such still highly sought after by the cowardly Argentinians.
Where are they now: Still perilously close to the immoral, bastardised Spaniards. Although at first glance the Falklands appear to be unimportant, miserable, cold islands inhabited mostly by losers and sheep, this is merely a facade to hide the islands' fabulous diamond mines. 148 British soldiers and over 400,890 sheep gave their lives to defend these wonderful islands.

Paris-born, London-based Underground Railroad is Raphael Mura, Marion Andrau and JB Ganivet. Their third album White Night Stand is both intense and touching, taking in influences from Radiohead and Liars to American alternative rock. We caught up with the band to chat about their move to London, working at Agent Provocateur, and of course, their new album.
How did Underground Railroad form?
Like many teenagers growing up in suburbia, we didn't have much to do. The good kids stay home and study, while the bad ones go out and break stuff – we were in the middle. Everyone was starting a band, but there was only one rehearsal space in St Quentin, Versailles where 30 bands met each week. We met in the smoking room of the studios: Marion thought Raphael was a little nerd and wasn't interested in him, JB bumped into Raphael on the street and asked him if he wanted to play music and JB sneezed on Raphael. It didn't work out, but after a few more encounters, we ended up forming a band.
Can you describe your sound?
The new album is quite dark and almost cinematic. We wanted people to be able to listen to it as a soundtrack with textures carefully mixed on top of the regular rock instruments. We've also added lots of cello and electronic elements, which are mixed in with organic instruments, strong melodies and percussion. We were inspired by David Lynch and thought we could evoke with sound the emotions you get from watching Lost Highway or Twin Peaks.
I wouldn't say that's very Parisian chic – is this why you decided to make the move across the Channel?
Well at one point we'd only wear Chanel bags and YSL perfume, trying to get a job at Agent Provocateur, but we realised that punk rock history doesn't come from Paris, it comes from London and New York. We had a desire to experience life in Europe's biggest city. We've met such interesting people here, and seen so many good bands that would never play anywhere else. It can be alienating of course, and alienation is what White Night Stand is all about.
It has been almost three years since Sticks and Stones came out – what has been happening with the band since then?
We spent 2008 and 2009 touring pretty much non-stop and got burnt out as most bands do. To be honest, we travelled too far, lost money, went through depression, moved house and got new jobs. We all settled into our new lives for a few months then slowly started to write new material. You can see why it's a powerful album in terms of the emotions attached to it. We were in a very dark place.
What does the future hold for Underground Railroad? Do you plan on playing any festivals this summer?
We are playing a few festivals in France in August, but we're looking to tour Europe and the UK again in the autumn. We'd like to co-headline a tour with our friends from Gallon Drunk, but we don't want it to be overkill. The plan is to finish up some songs and release a four-track vinyl later this the year. We've been inspired by the Jim Jones Revue and want our next album to be raw, loud and dirty.

Maybe it's the German in him but for two-plus years, he steadfastly refused to launch a pannier that converts to a backpack into the Banjo Brothers line until the comfort and functionality were 1000% perfect. You, my friends, will be the benefactor of his dogged determination to make a better mousetrap. HOW DOES THE CONVERTIBLE BACKPACK PANNIER WORK? Remove the pannier from the bike. Unhook the panniers main flap and reverse it over the pannier hooks and use the side-release buckles to secure it in place. Backpack straps will be revealed. Put the backpack straps over your shoulders, adjust and you're ready to go. New for 2021 A universal J-Hook designed to work with most racks replaces the triangle ring with dropout hooks. Since the J-Hook is designed to attach directly to the rack, we no longer supply the dropout hooks. For a short time you might find legacy inventory with the older system, however, Banjo Brothers will no longer supply or hold replacement parts for those systems. PRODUCT FEATURES - Weight: 3.1 lbs - Dimensions: 15.5" H x 11.5" L x 6.75"D - Capacity: 1100 Cubic Inches / 19 liters - What size laptop will this bag fit? 10.5" x 16" (generally 15" laptops) - Sold as: single pannier - Two-layer design with a ballistic outer layer and welded-seam liner that is fully replaceable. - What does the inside of the bag look like? - What will it hold? Generally, this is an ideal bag for bike commuters. It holds extra shoes, lunch, change of clothes, and your computer. - Flap pockets and side pockets - Reflective piping and striping - Places for flashing lights on the pannier and backpack sides - Outer quick-access flap pocket and two side pockets - Included handle and two backpack straps - Imported
Foul weather is about to lose its sway over your two-wheeled adventures. Banjo Brothers' Waterproof Pannier is tailor-made for wet commutes and trips around town. The rugged nylon exterior fends off wear and tear while the welded-seam liner and roll-top closure keep the contents dry. It attaches easily to most rear racks (sold separately) via a quick-release mount so you can pop it off and bring it with you. And if you're riding in the rain, the reflective accents bring a little extra visibility and peace of mind.

- 3 Year Parts & Labor
- Additional 4 Year Compressor
Self-cleaning condenser
The accumulation of dust in the condenser can cause the failure or breakdown of refrigerators. Refrigerators run normally until they reach a certain level of accumulation. At some point, when they are over the limit, their performance drops quickly resulting in damage to, or disposal of the stored products inside. The Self-Cleaning Condenser device keeps the condenser clean and prevents system failure by automatically brushing daily.
Digital temperature control & monitor system
Keeps food products safe by maintaining constant temperatures. External digital display allows for easy monitoring.
Hydrocarbon refrigerants (R-290)
With innovative and eco-friendly technology, Turbo Air brings you hydrocarbon refrigerators designed to meet DOE's Energy Conservation Standards in 2017 and to use EPA's SNAP Program approved HC refrigerants. Hydrocarbon refrigerants do not deplete the ozone layer and have very low contribution to global warming (ODP-0, GWP-3).
Cold Bunker system
Our innovative forced air system allows cold air to flow all around the food pan area, covering not only underneath the pan, but also the front, top and the rear. This unique air flow creates a cold air-shield around the pan, which maintains the food temperature at under 41°F (NSF requirement) even when the lids are opened. In addition, the compartment isolates pans from the reach-in area to prevent food spillage.
Stainless steel cabinet construction
The PRO series model boasts a stainless steel interior (Aluminum door liner) and a 22 gauge stainless steel exterior (galvanized steel bottom). It guarantees the utmost in cleanliness and long product life. The PRO series adds a touch of style to the most refined setting.

Today's Panchang is the daily Hindu calendar followed by Vedic astrology which throws light on Today's Tithi, and auspicious and inauspicious timings among others. It is based on Vijay Vishwa Panchang, which is the rarest of Panchang, that is used by expert Astrologers for hundreds of years. Through Daily Panchang, you can get all the information about the time, date and day to determine the most appropriate timings to begin an auspicious activity or a new venture, warding off all negative impact and unnecessary struggles.
Ancient sages and the Vedas, which hold their wisdom, have articulated since time immemorial that when an individual acts in harmony with the environment, the environment also responds in a harmonious manner taking the individual as a part of the whole. Hindu Panchang plays a vital role in helping its followers act in harmony with their environment by offering an insight into the important tithi (date) for a prosperous work to start. Without consulting a Panchang in Hindu religion, auspicious events like marriage ceremonies, civic affairs, important events, inaugurals, examinations, interviews, starting new business/project and fresh beginnings are not carried out.
According to ancient sages and the Vedas, when an individual acts in harmony with the environment, it responds in a positive manner and helps the individual to accomplish his/her work successfully. Hindu Day Panchang plays a vital role in establishing this harmony and by using it one may gain astrological insights into the Tithi, yogas and auspicious- inauspicious timings. They may know the appropriate time based on the astral configuration and make the most of their time and work.
Astrologers suggest people to view their Day Panchang daily and follow it to begin any new work or perform auspicious events such as marriage ceremonies, civic affairs, important events, inaugurals, new business ventures etc.
Hindu Tithi or Thithi is the Lunar day or the time taken by the longitudinal angle between the Sun and the Moon to increase by 12 degrees. These Lunar days may vary in duration and can be anywhere between 21.5 hours to 26 hours
As per Vedic astrology, a Lunar month consists of 30 Tithis or full Lunar days. These are further divided into 2 Paksha or Lunar phases, called "Krishna Paksha" and "Shukla Paksha". Each of the Paksha consists of 15 Tithis.
By knowing the important Hindu Tithis which are auspicious, you can determine the best time to accomplish success and happiness in everything that you do.
Scroll below to know more about the Panchang and related questions that arise frequently and gain in-depth information about Panchang and its significance.
The following are the terms that one should be well-versed with for better understanding of Day Panchang. It offers accurate information about various astrological occurrences and in some way helps you find the most appropriate time to start anything new.

Revision as of 09:22, 21 March 2013
Don't be surprised if you leave this page more confused than before. That just means that it has successfully destroyed your false assumptions, or that you've fallen for some horrible inside joke. Beware of Zygohistomorphic prepromorphisms. Go for warm and fuzzy, instead.
Monads are not a good choice as topic for your first Haskell blog entry
...just accept that they're burritos, and wait until later.
Monads are not a language feature
Really. They are defined in terms of Haskell, not Haskell in terms of them. Conversely,
Haskell doesn't need Monads
...well, apart from the current Haskell standard defining the way IO is done in terms of Monads: It could be done differently and still work.
Monads are not impure
...In no way whatsoever. You don't even need flexible morals to claim it. To be more specific, it's IO that's impure. That makes the IO monad impure. But that's not a general property of monads - just IO. And even then, we can pretend that Haskell is a purely functional description language for imperative programs. But we didn't want to employ flexible morals, now did we?
Monads are not about state
While it is certainly possible to abstract away explicit state passing by using a Monad, that's not what a monad is. Some examples for monads that are not about state: Identity monad, Reader monad, List monad, Continuation monad, Exception monad.
Monads are not about strictness
Monad operations (bind and return) have to be non-strict in fact, always! However other operations can be specific to each monad. For instance some are strict (like IO), and some are non-strict (like []). Then there are some that come in multiple flavours, like State.
Try the following:
runState (sequence . repeat $ state (\x -> (x,x+1))) 0
Having a look at the implementation of fixIO might be helpful, too.
Monads are not values
This point might be driven home best by pointing out that instance Monad Foo where ... is not a data type, but a declaration of a typeclass instance. However, to elaborate:
Monads are not values in the same sense that addition and multiplication are not numbers, or, for that matter, an oven is not food: They capture a -- very specific -- relationship between values of a specific domain into a common abstraction. We're going to call these values monads manage mobits, somewhat like this:
type Mobit m a = Monad m => m a
The IO monad manages mobits representing side-effects ("IO actions").
The List monad manages mobits representing multiple values ("[a]")
The Reader monads manages mobits that are pure computations that use asks to propagate information instead of explicit arguments
...and while addition and multiplication are both monoids over the positive natural numbers, an oven is a monoid over food (Burned pizza doesn't concern us, here: Food stays food, even if you don't want to eat it.), a monad is a monoid object in a category of endofunctors: return is the unit, and join is the binary operation. It couldn't be more simple. If that confuses you, it might be helpful to see a Monad as a lax functor from a terminal bicategory.
Monads are not a replacement for applicative functors
Instead, every monad is an applicative functor (as well as a functor). It is considered good practice not to use >>= if all you need is <*>, or even fmap.
Not confusing which features of monads are specific to monads only and which stem from applicative functors is vitally important for a deeper understanding of monads. As an example, the applicative functor interface of parser libraries can parse context-free grammars (and look just like EBNF), while the monadic interface can parse context-sensitive grammars: Monads allow you to influence further processing by inspecting the result of your parse. To understand why, have a look at the type of >>=. To understand why applicative functors by themselves are sufficient to track the current parsing position, have a look at the uu-parsinglib tutorial (pdf).
The exact differences are elaborated in even greater detail in Brent Yorgey's excellent Typeclassopedia.
Monads are not about ordering/sequencing
Monads are commonly used to order sequences of computations. But this is misleading. Just as you can use monads for state, or strictness, you can use them to order computations. But there are also commutative monads, like Maybe, that don't order anything. So ordering is not in any way essential to what a monad is.
Let's have a look at what's meant by ordering. Consider an expression like
let x = a
y = b
in f x y
That gives the same result as
let y = b
x = a
in f x y
It doesn't matter what order we write the two bindings. But for doing I/O we'd like ordering. Monads allow us to express
x <- getChar
y <- getChar
return (x,y)
and have it be different from
y <- getChar
x <- getChar
return (x,y)
Unlike the first, the second example returns a pair of characters in the opposite order to which they were entered.
It might help to meditate about the difference between 'assignment' and 'binding', right now.
However, just to spoil the enlightenment you just attained, there are monads for which swapping the order of lines like this makes no difference: For example, the Maybe monad.
So while it is correct to say that monads can be used to order operations, it would be wrong to say that monads are a mechanism for ordering operations.
This notion of commutativity looks superficially very different from the familiar one in vanilla algebra where a+b=b+a. It's not about the fact that
(Just 2 >> Just 3) == Just 3
, implying
(Just 2 >> Just 3) /= (Just 3 >> Just 2)
This shouldn't be too surprising, though, as >> isn't the binary operation of some monoid: the algebraic properties of join are very close to those of + and incidentally, join is also the operation true category theorists tend to work with. They also know of bind, but don't use it a lot because, unlike programmers, they don't do any actual productive work.

FDA Approves Return of Drug for Morning Sickness
WASHINGTON - Talk about a comeback: A treatment pulled off the market 30 years ago has won Food and Drug Administration approval again as the only drug specifically designated to treat morning sickness.
That long-ago safety scare, prompted by hundreds of lawsuits claiming birth defects, proved to be a false alarm.
Monday's FDA decision means a new version of the pill once called Bendectin is set to return to U.S. pharmacies under a different name - Diclegis - as a safe and effective treatment for this pregnancy rite of passage.
In the intervening decades, the treatment is widely believed to have undergone more scrutiny for safety than any other drug used during pregnancy.
"There's been a lot of buzz about this. Nothing better has come along" to treat morning sickness in those 30 years, said Dr. Edward McCabe, medical director for the March of Dimes, who welcomed the step.
"We know safety-wise, there's zero question," said Dr. Gary Hankins of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, who headed one of the company-financed studies of Diclegis that led to its approval.
U.S. sales of Diclegis are expected to begin in early June, according to Canada-based manufacturer Duchesnay Inc. The company has long sold a generic version of the pill in Canada under yet another name, Diclectin.
For all the names, the main ingredients are the same: Vitamin B6 plus the over-the-counter antihistamine doxylamine, found in the sleep aid Unisom. U.S. obstetricians have long told nauseated pregnant women how to mix up the right dose themselves.
In fact, in 2004 the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidelines calling the combination a first-line therapy.
The difference that prescription-only Diclegis would offer: Combining both ingredients with a delayed-release coating designed to help women take a daily dose before their nausea sets in.
The return of an FDA-cleared treatment is needed, said ACOG spokesman Dr. Jeffrey Ecker, an obstetrician at Massachusetts General Hospital who wasn't involved in the study of Diclegis.
"It's not magic," Ecker cautioned, saying few women see their symptoms completely disappear with the medication. "But for some it allows them to be much more functional."
In Hankins' study, about 260 U.S. women with morning sickness were given either Diclegis or a dummy pill for two weeks. The Diclegis users missed on average 1 1/2 fewer days of work than their counterparts.
Duchesnay wouldn't reveal a U.S. price.
About three-quarters of women experience at least some nausea and vomiting with the hormonal surges of early pregnancy. Although it often occurs upon waking, some women have trouble all day. It usually ends by the second trimester.
About 1 percent of women undergo dangerously severe vomiting called hyperemesis gravidarum, the condition that made headlines last December when in Britain, Prince William's wife Kate was briefly hospitalized.
An initial version of Bendectin began selling in 1956, and 33 million women around the world were estimated to have taken it before the lawsuits began. At the time, the FDA continued to call the drug safe; appeals courts ruled in favor of Bendectin maker Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals; and eventually a U.S. Supreme Court decision would render continuing suits unlikely. But Merrell Dow declared the litigation cost too high, and quit making Bendectin in 1983.
What happened? The government estimates 1 in 33 babies are born with birth defects regardless of medication use during pregnancy, and studies eventually concluded that Bendectin didn't increase that baseline risk. McCabe of the March of Dimes says it's important to recognize that when a drug is widely used in pregnancy, some babies will be born with birth defects that are a coincidence.
Doctors advise trying some other steps before turning to medication for morning sickness: Eat protein snacks before bed. Nibble crackers or sip ginger ale before getting out of bed. Eat frequent small meals. Avoid nausea-triggering odors.
When that doesn't work, Ecker says vitamin B6 alone helps some women. His next step is the B6-and-antihistamine combination that will form Diclegis. A next-step option includes the drug Zofran, normally used to treat nausea from cancer therapy.
