The dynamics of a multimode rotor-bearing system are analysed when the rotor contacts with a stator having annular clearance. By transforming to a rotating frame, all possible steady state rotor vibration modes that involve periodic contact with the surround may be predicted. Using a harmonic decomposition with generalized fundamental frequency, periodic solutions are obtained for rotor motions that involve asynchronous periodic contact. The analytical solutions are compared with previously published experimental results, which are predicted with considerable accuracy thus confirming the efficacy of the approach. Solutions are obtained for different test cases, which show how the amplitude and stability of the periodic contact modes are dependent on system parameters and operating conditions. In particular, for increased unbalance levels, the amplitude of the contact mode vibration is increased and the response of the rotor progresses from a bouncing forward whirl to a backward whirl-type motion. The nature of the identified rotor responses and implications for machine operation and reliability are discussed.

Jacob Lusk took to the "American Idol" Top 9 stage to perform Michael Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror." He had some weird comments about America needing to look at themselves and make a change if he doesn't advance, which – what? It's not like he's ever been in any danger.
But anyway, as a performance it was another solid outing by Jacob, we thought. He reined in the gospel sound in the beginning and then busted it out at the end, very nice build.
What do you think, "Idol" fans? How did Jacob do? Do you think America needs to look in the mirror and vote for Jacob?

Nothing Vs Everything
By Emmet
It doesn't take a finger on the pulse to know that in recent times "Dance" music has been on its knees. With the modern cycle of music fashion currently favouring the skinny Indie guitar, well thought-out Dance has retreated back in to the shadows with only its clueless "4 muppets for a pound" cousin left to shout (quite literally) its corner. Perhaps the biggest insult of all is that those guitar-playing hairdos have even gone and nicked "Rave" and claimed it for their own... is nothing sacred? Well thankfully none of the above has worried Emmet in the slightest. "Nothing Vs Everything" is a testament to the fact that the spirit of mid 90's genre-border crossing Dance lives on. Emmet may not plough any furrows that have not already been well churned but they have plenty of fun and ideas along the way which are sure to satisfy. From the more dance floor orientated opener "Make The Noise" and the Prodigy-esque "True", or the baggy-techno vibe of "A little bit" to the excellent darker "Cov 1" or "Here It Goes" Emmet show they are no one-trick synth and robotic voice. Those who are not fans of the electronic beat may struggle to believe that it can have depth and soul but Emmet demonstrate a thought process that extends far beyond a simple "Get your hands in the air" outcome. This is not to say that dancefloors everywhere should not be packed with sweaty boys and girls pumping fists in the air to Emmet, but this is also music you can take home with you afterwards.

Great shot! You were brave to get that close to a cub while the mother bear was at the base of the tree...They are very protective of their young...Some years ago I almost got attacked by a mother raccoon at the homeplace of my folks when I went outside the door to take pictures of this mother and her family...She chased me to the house and was at my heels when I almost shut the door on her nose! I am not sure what would have happened if she caught up with me:) Then the picture did not turn out after all that trouble.

not hard i dont think just go cabelas and u can get 1 there, thats were i go just cost u the non residents fee thats all.... lucky well most of the time i see the bigger bucks on opening week end by the 2nd there pressured and bed down in my exp.thats why i think thats the first reason i was lucky lol....here is the story lol....it was the 2nd weekend of rifle i had seen some deer just that they werent moving that much, i think they went nocturnal cause i seen them in the fields going to stand...it was about 8:30 am hadent seen any thing but turkeys i was looking right down the river bottom edge to my south were a main trail is used, some times they use the river to move and u will never see them, there go right around u, there smart lol...i didnt see anything i look to my left down the other river bottom edge....might have been 20 sec and looked back south again and there he was running down the edge , he came out of no were i didnt even hear him even when i seen him i couldnt still hear him he ran and stopped about 100 yrd. from me dead stop it was weird looking around and noise in the air , i took a shot he didnt move was wondering if i missed, he then turned facing me walked about 15 feet and started to slowly walk back south, watching him through my scope i waited to get a clear shot again, took my sec shot about 70 yrds away i knew i hit him that time he jumped 3 feet off the ground ran for about 30 yard and crashed to his front feet then fell..thats why i think i was luck i had to shot 2 times cause i figured if i missed he would run...anyways funny thing was i did hit him both times when i skined him he had holes on both side about the same area it was weird the 2nd shot went through and didnt come out broke his left sholder.

Amendment 64 task force can't make mountains out of marijuana molehills, advocate says
In this space yesterday, marijuana advocate Christian Sederberg spoke positively about the Amendment 64 task force to which he was just named. So, too, does attorney Sean McAllister, who lobbied the governor's office about the importance of marijuana consumers being represented on the panel. But with his optimism comes caution over the membership and the task force's direction.
McAllister sat down with staffers of Governor John Hickenlooper in late November on behalf of Colorado NORML -- and Craig Small, a NORML representative, is among the 24 task force members. He was also concerned about the membership being dominated by law enforcement personnel adamantly opposed to A64, but he believes that's not the case. The main reps who fall into this category are David Blake, with the Colorado Attorney General's Office, Larry Abrahamson, from the Colorado District Attorney's Council, and former Denver Manager of Safety Charles Garcia, serving on behalf of the Colorado Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice. Yet McAllister thinks their presence could be a positive as long as they approach their mission from what he sees as the proper perspective.
"I believe this task force represents the best opportunity to try to keep the federal government at bay, essentially by telling them, 'Look, we can handle our business here -- take care of this issue, properly regulate it,'" he says. "And in order to have legitimacy, it needs to have some buy-in from the Attorney General's office and the DA's offices."
At the same time, though, "I'm concerned, because those agencies and departments have a history of opposing reform -- seeking to undermine marijuana reforms in subtle ways and not necessarily respecting the will of the voters," McAllister continues. "Now, John Suthers (Colorado's AG) says he wants to respect the will of the voters, and I want him to live up to his promise. I don't want his office's participation to undermine that -- because there has been an institutional resistance when it comes to law enforcement accepting the new world order we live in."

McAllister isn't ready to hit the panic button, however.
"I'm not overly concerned," he maintains. "But in the past, these groups have perhaps overblown fears and concerns to try to block reform. And I hope they don't continue that habit of making mountains out of molehills in order to thwart reform."
"When we got medical marijuana, everybody said, 'Oh my God, the children! All the kids will be smoking pot!'" he replies. "And we got a lot of anecdotal reports about that. But the best report I've seen" -- a June study associated with the University of Colorado Denver -- "showed that marijuana use has actually gone down among teens. They also talked about crime around dispensaries, and that hasn't happened, either.
"These people who have been crying wolf for five years, telling us the world is going to end and the sky is going to fall? At every stage, they've been wrong. They've been wrong about crime, they've been wrong about teen use, they've been wrong about DUID. So, at the end of the day, these critics need to accept the fact that their concerns haven't been borne out and they lost the election -- and elections have consequences. And one of those consequences is that the voters are on the side of the reformers."
Continue for more about the Amendment 64 task force.
Dr. Christian Thurstone, another member of the task force, definitely doesn't fall into the reformer category. He's long pointed to what he considers to be marijuana's dangers, particularly for young people. In a February 2010 Westword interview, he maintained that kids were becoming addicted to what they referred to as "their medicine." Here's an excerpt from that piece:
"In the scientific community, there's no debate about whether or not marijuana is an addictive substance," he says. "We know that marijuana triggers the same parts of the brain as all other addictive substances, like nicotine, cocaine and heroin. Probably about 2 percent of adolescents have an addiction to marijuana, and we know that dependence is not just psychological but physical -- and that it includes tolerance levels. Users have to smoke more and more to get the same effect, and there's a withdrawal syndrome that lasts one to two weeks with heavy users.
"My main concern is what this is doing to our kids, our youth," he continues. "And we know that when access to substances goes up, teenagers use them with more frequency. And we also know that when the perceived harmfulness of a substance goes down, teenagers use the substance more frequently -- which may be why we're seeing more teenagers coming in due to problems with marijuana abuse."
Adding to this problem, from Thurstone's perspective, is the increasingly popular view that marijuana is actually healthful.
"There's a medical marijuana dispensary going up in my neighborhood that's going to be called 5280 Wellness," he notes. "What does that communicate to our children? That marijuana is associated with wellness. But it's not a benign drug. It's associated with aggression as part of the withdrawal syndrome, as well as risky sexual behavior that can lead to STDs and teen pregnancies. And a study in Canada showed that 80 percent of people who reported using marijuana in the past year also reported driving within an hour after smoking -- so it's no doubt associated with impaired driving and increased accidents, too."
When asked about Thurstone, McAllister says, "The campaign and most marijuana advocates would tell you they're on the same page as Dr. Thurstone -- marijuana is not a drug for young people. And it's still illegal for anyone under 21. But the doctor has lost credibility in the past with his reiteration of things like the gateway theory.
"So the question is: Will he be part of a group that will use hypothetical and anecdotal concerns to try to stall the entire system? Because that's something we shouldn't allow. With all these issues, we should be asking ourselves, 'Will being overly protective shut the system down?' And the answer is, we should default to the will of the voters. We should go back to the fact that 55 percent of voters wanted this to be the case. So we need to adopt things that address these issues, but not use these concerns to stop us from implementing what the voters want."
Continue to see the members of the Amendment 64 task force. Task force membership, from governor's office press release:
• Rep. Dan Pabon, appointed by the incoming Speaker of the House; • Sen. Cheri Jahn, appointed by the incoming President of the Senate; • Rep.-elect Dan Nordberg, appointed by the incoming House Minority Leader; • Sen.-elect Vicki Marble, appointed by the incoming Senate Minority Leader; • David Blake, representing the Colorado Attorney General; • Kevin Bommer, representing the Colorado Municipal League; • Eric Bergman, representing Colorado Counties Inc.; • Chris Urbina, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment; • James Davis, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Safety; • John Salazar, the Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture; • Ron Kammerzell, the Senior Director responsible for the Colorado Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division; • Christian Sederberg, representing the campaign to pass Amendment 64; • Meg Sanders, representing the medical marijuana dispensary and cultivation industry; • Craig Small, representing marijuana consumers; • Sam Kamin, a person with expertise in legal issues related to the legalization of marijuana; • Dr. Christian Thurstone, a person with expertise in the treatment of marijuana addiction; • Charles Garcia, representing the Colorado Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice; • Larry Abrahamson, representing the Colorado District Attorney's Council; • Brian Connors, representing the Colorado State Public Defender; • Daniel Zook, an at-large member from outside of the Denver area; • Tamra Ward, representing the interests of employers; and • Mike Cerbo, representing the interests of employees.

The F word
Or the disgraceful word used for gay men by bigots.
I am thinking of the word that we hear every day. We hear it used by friends and family, by educated people, by compassionate people, and by people who are simply just used to saying it.
The word is fat. And this blog post is all about calling us out on the use of the word (and more specifically on using it as a judgment).
That girl is a fat _____. He is so fat he ___ ___ ______.
I recently saw a photo on Facebook posted by someone I know to be loving and compassionate. The photo was of an overweight person and came from a website of "funny" pictures. The text was nothing to laugh about. I was totally bummed to see the photo, especially knowing the person who posted it.
Our words affect people. Our words hurt people.
I don't ever want anything I say to hurt my voice for the voiceless. People stop listening when the same person speaking about animal rights or human rights also makes fun of or judges people.
And the bottom line for me is that I never want to be a person who puts others down or belittles another person. Ever. I want to be the person who embraces each persons humanness and light.
Now that you have read this, be on the lookout. Do you hear it as much as I do?
Thanks for reading!

Being someone who has fought morbid obesity for 20 years (bit was not fat in high school), I appreciate this post. I just had gastric surgery and it has already changed my life for the better, but it's sad that in the end this was the only real help I could gdt. And I basicallly had to become a cripple to get approved for surgery. This country has additional issues in that they want to find one magic bullet to cure obesity. Just like cancer, there are many different forms and causes of obesity. Until that is recognized, we will continue to have problems.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I'm ashamed to admit that I have been mean and cruel in the past.....but I always seemed to justify it by saying; " It's o.k. because I'm a big girl too...." Yeah, right. Not OK.
I hear it a lot, but I also hear so many other nasty words carelessly throw around that maybe too many of us become immune to its power to harm.
Great post! I love reading your blog! :DYour blog is so wonderful! Another great post. That F word is so horrible. I noticed how often I used it about myself and how negative it is.
Since I became vegan I started paying more attention to my own words and phrases about things...compassionate thinking leads to compassionate action.
You guys are the best! :)

I Pin Therefore I Am
13 comments:
I have the account set up but I have not begun the adventure. People in Iowa actually created pinterest if that is something to brag about so you would think I would be onboard right away. I was on a few months ago and did see people were posting my photos as favorites but I am playing ignorant to its functions so far. When I do, if I do, when I do, I will pin you for sure.
ReplyDeleteAlan, I was very touched by your posting about your having a long part of your life without hearing. Being deaf is sometimes just thought of as such a nuisance, both by those who have the condition, and those around them. But it brought home to me how I see everyone on the internet as equally able...and miss knowing that anyone is differently-abled. No disabilities are evident here! It means my friend who walks with a scooter now can share all her activities without reference to living on wheels. And it means that I don't know a thing about how others have lived with the limitations they may have, until they share about them. Kuddos for letting us know your path to where you are today. And I'm not going to do Pinterest at this time of my life, anyway. You can enjoy it for me!

text: SQL Server Support Policy for Failover Clustering and Virtualization gets an update...May 19, 2009 [From MSDN Blogs]Last October I posted on our updated policy for support of SQL Server in a virtualization environment. This policy is based on a KB article that summarizes our policy. You recall this article is the following: > Support policy for Microsoft SQL Server products that are running in a hardware virtualization environmentOne fairly controversial aspect to this policy was our support (actually non-support is a better word) for guest failover clustering. We didnt support installing SQL Server failover clustering in a virtual machine. Well this policy is now changed effective immediately as updated in the article. The article continues at http://blogs.msdn.com/psssql/archive/2009/05/19/sql-server-support-policy-for-failover-clustering-and-virtualization-gets-an-update.aspx |


text: AGA's History Most people associate the name AGA with good food and fine living. And although it's often thought of as quintessentially British, the AGA actually began life in Sweden. The celebrated cooker found in 750,000 households worldwide was invented by Dr. Gustav Dalen, a blind Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Appalled that his wife and their maid had to constantly tend to their old-fashioned range, Dalen set out to design a modern cooker that would look after itself. It's unlikely Dalen could have predicted that his invention would go on to be widely acclaimed as a design icon, but it has. High powered and sleek, Aga's 44" range vent hoods bring both good looks and functionality to your kitchen.

Libyan rebels are a disorganized bunch
I hope Colonel Gaddafi doesn't read the New York Times:
As the struggle with Colonel Qaddafi threatened to settle into a stalemate, the rebel government here was showing growing strains that imperil its struggle to complete a revolution and jeopardize requests for foreign military aid and recognition.
In an appearance Sunday on "State of the Union" on CNN, Gen. James L. Jones, President Obama's former national security adviser, said that the United States "is buying space for the opposition to get organized."
But a White House official said last week that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was extremely reluctant to send arms to the rebels "because of the unknowns" about who they are, their backgrounds and motivations.
"It's a moment in time where there is no real clarity," said General Jones, who is now a senior fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center. "But the things being worked on are being worked on to get that clarity."
The war that was supposed to last "days" is now heading into its third week and, despite early gains by the rebels, the war is not going according to plan. Again we are obligated to ask of the Obama administration and his war machine, what now?
Libyan rebels include Al Qaeda fighters
This should come as no surprise to anybody:
Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, the Libyan rebel leader, has said jihadists who fought against allied troops in Iraq are on the front lines of the battle against Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Mr al-Hasidi admitted that he had recruited "around 25" men from the Derna area in eastern Libya to fight against coalition troops in Iraq. Some of them, he said, are "today are on the front lines in Adjabiya".
Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters "are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists," but added that the "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".
His revelations came even as Idriss Deby Itno, Chad's president, said al-Qaeda had managed to pillage military arsenals in the Libyan rebel zone and acquired arms, "including surface-to-air missiles, which were then smuggled into their sanctuaries".
Was President Obama aware of any of this before he started a war with Libya?

Hello! sothis is redesigning the anime-planet site, and plans to roll out an awesome new site design in July, we believe. The blog feature is not part of the new design, and it is going away. More information about this here: Announcement: the blog feature is being deprecated topic link. (Be sure to check out the new site design when it goes live!)
I am volunteering in a project to notify folks who have blogs posted here, like yourself, that the blog feature is going away. So if you want to save the information that you posted in your blog on the site, you'll need to move that information someplace else on the site that WON'T be going away. If you don't move the information to another part of the site, the information will be gone when the new site design goes live.
So, we are telling everyone that has posted a blog this. And then we are making suggestions where they can move their information, based on what information their blog contained. This comment has recommendations to you where to move your blog content.
You posted in your blog a little journey through various of animes/mangas you're about to watch. To save these comments, you should repost them into the official Discussion topic for the anime/manga. You can find a link to the topic on the anime/manga's Main Details page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to get back to me, and I will try to assist.
kind regards,

text: "The shortcoming with them, of course, is that, among many other things, they don't talk about punk rock or genre film. They talk about the contemporary art world, which to me is a corpse of a whole bourgeois European high-art tradition that ran aground, that particularly exhausted itself in, like, '68 and exists today merely as some kind of way for people to distinguish themselves from others as sophisticates or something. I don't see how any of that work holds a candle to some of the images and sublimity that one finds in forms of genre films and pop music."

Lot 251: CAMILLE PISSARRO Une rue au patis, Pontoise.
by Swann Auction Galleries
03 November 2016
New York, NY, USA
Live AuctionCamille Pissarro (1830-1903) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
Une rue au patis, Pontoise.
Lithograph printed in black on cream wove China paper, 1874. 265x220 mm; 10 1/2x8 3/4 inches, full margins. One of only several known proof impressions of this subject. A superb, richly-inked impression of this exceedingly scarce lithograph.
Pissarro made his first lithographs in 1874, after settling in Pontoise, and a full decade after he had created his first etchings. The ten lithographs he made in 1874 portray some of his family members as well as the farmers and landscapes around Pontoise. The portraits are informal, direct and simply rendered; the landscapes and images of country folk, especially in this lithograph of a man and woman passing on a lane, are drawn more loosely and with a strong emphasis on the play of light and shadow, approaching Pissarro's nascent Impressionist paintings from the early 1870s. He abandoned lithography soon after to focus on painting and etching, only returning to the medium around 1894 and producing a flurry of some fifty lithographs over the last decade of his career. Delteil 130.

Hello everyone my dear dear friends on sm , apologises for bit being in here for the past few weeks , I have had a lot to deal with regarding the recent break up of my relationship to my partner , and Albert has been going down hill recently too , I have been back and fro to the vets with him , he was there yesterday his bloods have gone from 30 to 27 , 25 and they now sit at 22 he is not in the best health right now .., if it goes below 20 he will have another transfusion , the vet did discuss putting him to sleep of I felt it was too much , which I simply will not do unless he is in any pain or discomfort , he is running around like a looney and is eating and drinking well , just his bloods are like water again .., he had vitamin b12 injection yesterday and his steroids have been upped , next week more bloods will be taken and we will know more then . I'm so sorry I haven't been on in a while but it has been very tiring and heart breaking at the same time . I have missed you all and hope you can find it in your hearts to send a cheeky prayer for wee Albert thanks so much everyone and hope you all had a nice new year xx

I am undergoing MEB for exertional compartment syndrome as well. Let me know if you receive any additional info.. Thanks!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I have been busy the month or so with retirement stuff. I was MEDEVAC'd and placed directly into a warrior transition unit where I have been since Oct 2007. I went through all the treatment and it was decided that I was unable to serve in my current rank and MOS (Infantry E-8) so I was sent to a MED board then a PEB. It is tough to get 75% just for TBI. from what I was told you would need to basically need to be a zombie to get that much. I received 80% but I had other injuries due to the IED I was in. I received 40% just for the TBI. Make sure you are going to the doctor when you are told and do what they say, it will help your case when / if you end up getting a board as well. Your VA claim later will pay good as well since your injury is combat related. let me know if you have any more questions, Kevin
Thanks. I am thinking Jason would help out a bunch. Right now...I am just trying to piece things together. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming...esp since I'm trying to recover from the injuries at the same time. I had really wanted to stay in...but as the recovery has dragged on(15 months now)....I just don't think I can do it without putting my health and family at risk. I try SO hard...but every day is such a struggle for me. I feel as if I'm walking a tightrope everyday...barely hanging on...and that's not a good feeling. Anyways a quick question....you're in the DoD/VA pilot program right? How has your timeline been? From the moment you started you VA "exams"...how long did it take to prepare for the MEB? MEB decision? Go to PEB at Randolph? I'm just wondering what I'm looking at as far as time scale goes... Thanks for all your help in advance. Nate
greenne, FYI i am have retained jason for my case if you would like any info. feel free to contact me. good luck, rob

Via Citizen Reader, I see that David Eddings has passed. While I would not rank him with my favorite fantasy novelists today, he is the author that hooked me on fantasy novels*. I gobbled up the Belgariad in middle school and high school and then followed it up the Mallorean into my college years. Looking back, I am surprised that the last one of those came out in 1991. By that point, I thought I had transistioned my loyalties to the initially thrilling, but ultimately disappointing Wheel of Time saga. Looking back, the Belgariad, while more understated, is probably the more successful series as it manages to tell its story without collapsing under its weight.
Thinking of Eddings and 1980s fantasy novelists, I thought of Terry Brooks known for the Sword of Shanara and many follow on novels. While nearly all fantasy novelists (excepting of course Tolkein hater China Mieville) borrow from Tolkein, Brooks seemed to cut and paste directly from the Lord of the Rings. The book concluded with a battle that may as well been called the Battle of Minas Tirith. It sold fine, so I guess fantasy fans don't mind, but I am curious if people still read Brooks.
*Lord Foul's Bane was my first fantasy novel but that one didn't work for my pre-teen self.

Another fantasy giant gone

Ha! Terry Brooks. One of my other favorite fantasy novels who my hubby derides as completely Tolkien-derivative.
I've often thought both Eddings and Brooks may have been derivative, but they also made fantasy more accessible for lots of readers (and, dare I say it, for girls?). Tolkien was quite simply TOO LONG and involved for me, with too many battles lovingly detailed for pages and pages and pages--and very few women characters to be found. I loved the Sword of Shannara series, and even though the books were longer, they read much faster than "The Hobbit," which I still haven't quite recovered from the boredom of, frankly.
I'll have to re-read Brooks after Eddings this winter, methinks. - 9:08 AM

What, you don't care for long poems in the original Elvish? I will certainly say that Brooks makes it more accessible, I just wish he was more original. I think Eddings has that one him.
I think you might like the George R R Martin books (plenty of female leads both good and bad and less emphasis on combat - more on the intrigue) - 9:34 AM

I LOVE George R. R. Martin--very astute of you. I've only read the first one but that's another series I plan on blowing through when I have a bit more time. When that will be I'm not quite sure yet. I always meant to read the second book on the plane when I took a trip somewhere--but I have yet to take a trip since I had that thought!

Wish you all Indians a Happy Republic Day
Though India became a free nation on August 15, 1947, it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950.
India achieved independence from British rule on 15 August 1947 following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress.
The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo 6 c. 30), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth (later Commonwealth of Nations): India and Pakistan.
India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor-general.
The country, though, did not yet have a permanent constitution; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 28 August 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution, with Dr.B. R. Ambedkar as chairman.
Hon'ble President of India Shri pranab mukherjee address to the Nation on the eve of 66th Republic Day of India on 25th Jan 2015 at 7:00 PM IST. Click here for LIVE Video
While India's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates of coming into force of its constitution. A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947.
The Assembly met, in sessions open to public, for 166 days, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later, it came into effect throughout the nation.
It's an unprecedented gesture toward an American president and one that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes will intensify the diplomatic outreach in a bilateral relationship that at times has fallen far short of both countries' hopes. Never has a U.S. leader been the chief guest at the Republic Day parade, the centerpiece of India's national day celebrations. So the invitation to President Obama, whose three-day visit to the world's biggest democracy begins Sunday, assumes significance for U.S.-Indian ties and for the aggressive diplomacy Mr. Modi has adopted since becoming prime minister in May. More
India got its freedom on 15 August 1947 as a sacred government with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as representative general. The nation, however, did not yet have a perpetual constitution; rather its laws were focused around the changed pioneer Government of India Act 1935. On 28 August 1947, the Drafting Committee was selected to draft a changeless constitution, with Dr.b. R. Ambedkar as executive.
While India's Independence Day praises its flexibility from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates of coming into power of its constitution. The main Republic Day celebration is held in the national capital, New Delhi, at the Rajpath before the President of India. On this day, ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India.
The Constitution was passed by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26 November 1949 but was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition toward becoming an independent republic. 26 January was selected for this purpose because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress.
To mark is held in the capital, New Delhi, from the Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence), along the Rajpath, past India Gate. Prior to its commencement, the Prime Minister lays a floral wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti, a memorial to unknown soldiers at the India Gate at one end of Rajpath, which is followed by two minutes silence in the memory of unknown soldiers.
It is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the succeeding wars for the defence of sovereignty of their country. Thereafter he/she reaches the main dais at Rajpath to join other dignitaries, subsequently the President arrives along with the chief guest of the occasion. They are escorted on horseback by the President's Bodyguard.
The Beating Retreat ceremony officially denotes the end of Republic Day festivities. It is conducted on the evening of 29 January, the third day after the Republic Day. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The venue is Raisina Hills and an adjacent square, Vijay Chowk, flanked by the North and South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace) towards the end of Rajpath.
The Chief Guest of the function is the President of India who arrives escorted by the (PBG), a cavalry unit. When the President arrives, the PBG commander asks the unit to give the National Salute, which is followed by the playing of the Indian National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, by the Army developed the ceremony of display by the massed bands in which Military Bands, Pipe and Drum Bands, Buglers and Trumpeters from various Army Regiments besides bands from the Navy and Air Force take part which play popular tunes like Abide With Me, Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn, and Saare Jahan Se Achcha at the end.
This Republic Day, our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi invited US President Mr. Obama to be the 1st US President to grace the occasion as Chief Guest.
A salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of the Indian National Flag by Dr.
Rajendra Prasad heralded the historic birth of the Indian Republic on
that day. Thereafter 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and was recognised as the Republic Day of India.
The Constitution gave the citizens of India the power to choose
their own government and paved the way for democracy. Dr. Rajendra
Prasad took oath as the first President of India at the Durbar Hall in
Government House and this was followed by the Presidential drive along a
five-mile route to the Irwin Stadium, where he unfurled the National Flag.

Re: in need of some lighting tips!!!please:)
I think that when you dismiss studio lighting, you dismiss lighting in general. Studio lighting is not just for strobes in the indoor studio. Lighting is lighting, whether it is strobe, or continuous, or sunlight... lighting is the use of such light to achieve the desired result. A combination of different types of light successfully is a mark of a true lighting artist. Don't make a general dismissal of a type of lighting a general attitude toward lighting. Learn more before making a statement like that.

He is dismissing STUDIO lighting because *maybe* they: A: Want to shoot outside a studio B: Does not have the income, interest or desire to use STUDIO equipment To dismiss studio lighting is not dismissing the entire world of using a light source other than the sun to light a subject and capturing it with a camera, it just means exactly what it says... not shooting in a studio using "studio style" equipment. I am sure that once the OP gets a little more experience they will be able to voice their questions a little more precisely. Give the person a break, they only have like 9 posts here. |

Re: in need of some lighting tips!!!please:)
Jerry- I just tried to make some peace on the "funeral Photography thread. Why bring arguments or personal criticisms up here again. You can state you case without getting into old bygones.
Dave's point is that knowledge of studio lighting is a good basis for the usage of outdoor lighting, available light and many other fields of photographic lighting. Many people are operating under the misconception that studio work is "old school" or boring because the don't realize what really goes into it and what comes out of it. In any case, let's not regenerate old arguments. If you disagree with Dave's or anyone's opinion, simply state your argument and leave it up to the OP to decide who's approach he or she agrees with. Dave- I know that you are long time pro and you know you lighting and techniques. Please take it easy on those who are new and perhaps don't know any better. Just tell them your professional point of view as to what's hot and what's not! My own attitude (and you don't have to conform to it) is that I give out the information and people will take it for what it is worth. If the are too careless or lazy to apply professional techniques and just want to have fun shooting all over the place- well that is their prerogative and their own business. Please folks!

Verified Purchase
I have had a long term issue of mild to moderate depression lasting about 26 years. I didn't want to go onto anti depressants (SSRI's) and tried a lot of other supplements with varying amounts of success. Last year I finally relented and went onto SSRI's during a period of intense stress. They managed to numb me into a state where I didn't care and therefor gave me relief from the emotional trauma I was going thru BUT at a price. They didn't, as I would have supposed raise or uplift my mood, they just stopped me crashing out the bottom. I constantly felt numbed and unable to function as well. A month ago I weaned myself off in conjunction with my MD and then ordered Nature's Way St Johns Wort. They say you don't feel the effect for up to 6 weeks but I can tell you from personal experience I felt positive effects after the first dose. In the morning I was crying for no apparent reason, took one and 2 hours later felt better than I had in a long time. I have since been on them for a week sometimes one a day sometimes two and my mood has never been this good since the early 1980's. This is a true ANTI depressant in that it doesn't numb you but actually uplifts and helps me feel positive about life again. I thoroughly recommend this product. - KB Auckland

It seems works for depression but..
Posted by 4684437196503654114 on Oct 22, 2015
I was diagnosticated depression in 1999. But only after ten years i decided to start Paxil. I've stopped paxil 1 month ago and after 10 days i started this Nature's way st john's wort. After 2-3 days (1 pills per day) i can say that it "took" the head and seems cure depression (i fell less anxious and less depressed, really). So, why 2 stars ? Because unluckly, i have bad intestinal problems after taking this! I'm not sure that could be this herb, but at the moment is the only supplements i take. I'll try to switch to another brand. Anyway, i'm sure st john's wort is good against depression ! Hope not to have side effects like this !

How to add an event in Joomla 3 using JEvents Calendar
In our last tutorial, we showed you how to create an Add an event page to allow users to create events within your JEvents Calendar in Joomla 3. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps a user would take to add an event.
Click the link
Now that you have added a menu link allowing users to create an event (see the link above), go to the frontend of your website and click the Add an event link.
If you are not logged in, login to the frontend of your Joomla 3 site, otherwise you will see the the following warning:
You are not authorised to create/edit events -
Add the event details
After you login and visit the Add an event page, you will see a form where you can add an event. For example, you can type in a subject, choose an event colour, and type in details about the activity.
In our testing, we did the following:
Subject Brad's Birthday Activity Wed Apr 9, help us celebrate Brad's birthday at Paul's Pizzeria. We then clicked the Calendar tab (see screenshot above), set the Start date and End date, and then clicked the green Save button towards the top of the page. The event will be added and you will see the following message:
Event SavedNow that we've added a new event, let's show you how to display a calendar on your Joomla 3 site so you can see the event!

Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate the same error that you are having. Be sure that you are using Joomla 3, and have added all fields within the calendar.

I have the same problem, in the backend configuration (Configuration - Event Editing) there is a multiselect box "Required fields", where you must choose at least one required field from the core fields... the problem is I really don't need any of those :( this was not the case in the previous versions where I kept things neat and simple by selecting a category, entering the title and start/end time/date. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks in advance! |

Unfortunately, I am unaware of a way to avoid the required fields without making significant code changes to the plugin itself. You may want to contact the developer of the plugin for more information.

Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate your issue, but was able to find a post on the JEvents forums which may resolve your issue.
