The World Bank's president, Jim Kim, has now made two major speeches outlining his vision for the institution – one at the Annual Meetings the other at Georgetown University on April 2 ahead of the upcoming Spring Meetings.
Several themes are emerging. Two are easy to grasp and likely to resonate strongly with Bank staff and stakeholders: "ending poverty" and "boosting shared prosperity". For years the Bank has seen fighting poverty as its mission. It has made major contributions in the areas of measuring and monitoring poverty – Bank staff have authored many of the world's most-cited publications with poverty in the title. The Bank's work at the country level has always had a strong anti-poverty focus. "Ending" poverty – rather than merely "fighting" it – is a natural next step. The idea of "boosting shared prosperity" also resonates. While economic growth is still seen as the principal driver of poverty-reduction, the goal has always been pro-poor growth – a concept that links naturally to the idea of "shared prosperity".
One recurrent theme in President Kim's speeches that's less easily grasped is "the science of delivery". Surprisingly – after all, it's catchy and sounds like it's been around forever – the expression "science of delivery" is actually a relatively new one. Google Scholar throws up just four publications with "science of delivery" in the title, the most-cited of which has been cited just 29 times, the second most cited has been cited just once, and the other two have never been cited. (To put this in context the 1,000 most-cited publications with "poverty" in the title have been cited collectively over 300,000 times.) The general Google search engine throws up more, but the one that appears top is the publication that's been cited 29 times. Interestingly, the next two items both point to a video of a lecture on the "science of delivery" by Bank staffer Ani Dasgupta.
The fact that the expression "science of delivery" is so new should come as a relief to those Bank staff who think it must be old but feel nervous admitting they don't quite know what it means. But its newness also presents them with an opportunity – to help concretize a new expression.
Solace in Molière?
So what does the "science of delivery" mean? It's apparently a concept that Jim Kim developed with reference to health care while he was President of Dartmouth College. Writing in 2010 for the American Council for Education, Kim wrote:
"We cannot address the ever-increasing, unsustainable costs of health care without getting to the foundation of how care is provided. Nor can we achieve the social and moral goals we share – care that is safe, appropriate, effective, and high quality for every patient, in every community – without rethinking and redesigning delivery. Real improvements require a multidisciplinary approach that will bring the best minds to focus on the problem. Experts in management, systems thinking and engineering, sociology, anthropology, economics, medicine, health policy, and other fields must join together to fix the delivery system."
The Lancet's July 2012 portrait of Kim quotes the Bank's President as saying:
"The enormous investments that have been made in global health should have led to what we might have called a science of implementation and execution, but this has not happened. In the US and developed world health-care systems, we focus so much on discovery, on the basic science of disease, and the development of new treatments. We have just not focused on the enormous complexity of delivering health care in a way that keeps people healthy – that provides high quality health care at low cost."
Kim's message – generalized – is that the world has invested too much in what to deliver and too little in how to deliver it, with the result that "it" often fails to reach and benefit people.
That's a great message. And it's one that's completely consistent with the Bank's everyday work.
To take just one example, in 2004 Mariam Claeson and I wrote a report "The Millennium Development Goals for Health: Rising to the Challenges". One of our chapters was titled "Effective Interventions Exist – They Need to Reach More People". In it we argued:
"It is not a lack of interventions that is the main obstacle to faster progress toward the Millennium Development Goals – it is the low levels of use, especially among the poor, of existing effective interventions. Globally, the use of effective interventions for child health is typically below 50 percent, and in many poor countries the figure is much lower. Using all known interventions appropriately – achieving 99 percent coverage rates – could avert 63 percent of child deaths and 74 percent of maternal deaths."
Much of the discussion in the global health community at the time assumed that bednets, vaccines and breastfeeding could all be dropped by helicopter like manna from heaven. But that wasn't the way our colleagues in the Bank were thinking. With their help, ideas and experiences, Mariam and I were able to assemble a rich report documenting the constraints to faster progress on the health MDGs, and how to remove them. Extra government spending was needed, but it wasn't sufficient. Households aren't passive – they deliver many key interventions themselves, and they demand (or don't demand) services from others. It can't be taken for granted that (professional) service providers will be present when they're needed, and will deliver the required service to the best of their abilities. And it can't be taken for granted that governments have the policies and institutions in place to make sure the necessary changes happen.
I don't think these messages were especially novel to Bank staff in the health sector. And you see the same broad messages in Bank reports in other sectors. It's precisely these issues that Bank staff focus on in their reports and in their day-to-work with countries. Whether it's nutrition, secondary education or rural roads, Bank staff mostly leave the "what to deliver" question to others (including the UN technical agencies) and focus instead on the "how to deliver it" question – albeit at the level of the sector rather than at the level of the individual clinic, school and road-construction team.
Just as Molière's bourgeois gentilhomme spent his whole life speaking prose without knowing it, World Bank staff have in effect spent their careers being a "delivery scientist" without knowing it! I'm not suggesting Bank staff all add "delivery scientist" to their business cards. But I think it is important that the "science of delivery" not be seen as something different from what Bank staff are already doing in their everyday work.
The Kim gauntlet
That's not to say the Bank couldn't be doing the "science of delivery" better. The Lancet's portrait of Kim quotes him as saying:
"The spread of innovation and going to scale are critical, and the great development organizations in the world have not been as effective as they could be in tackling this issue."
I suspect all Bank staff and World Bank stakeholders would agree. The institution can doubtless do better at managing, synthesizing and disseminating global and local knowledge about how to deliver goods and services effectively. It can doubtless do better at generating and disseminating knowledge gleaned through its own operational work – not only about how to deliver goods and services, but how to deliver development assistance. It can doubtless also do better at ensuring that its operations are built around this knowledge, and are able to adapt as new knowledge emerges during implementation, building perhaps on the "Problem-Driven Iterative Adaptation" approach sketched out by Matt Andrews, Lant Pritchett, and Michael Woolcock.
So, yes, we can think of much of the everyday work of the World Bank as the "science of delivery". But like all science, the "science of delivery" needs to keep moving forward. What Jim Kim is saying, I think, is that during his presidency he wants the World Bank to give it a sharp push forward.
Amen to that.

A working definition for Science of Delivery
Cecile, Many thanks for
Many thanks for your comment. Two quick points if I may.
1) I think it's worth distinguishing between better design (of policies, programs and projects) and better implementation. The discussion in the Bank last week on "deliverology" (which seems to have promoted the science of delivery debate) was essentially about improving implementation, and doing so in real time. I have a post on reconciling the two sciences of delivery today on LTD, and extended the ideas in a presentation yesterday to the president, the chief economist, and the chief economist's advisory panel. I don't disagree that the Bank could do more to help better implementation in real time, but I think it's important we don't lose sight of the huge amount of analytic work that's been done – and continues to be done – on design and implementation issues. While this work hasn't been called the "science of delivery", most of it merits that title: it's hard evidence, based on a social scientific theory of change. I get the sense not everyone knows about it, and feels that the "science of delivery" is virgin territory!
2) In thinking about how to get better design and better implementation, it's worth reflecting on what the analytic work on delivery tells us might be a reason why design and implementation may not be as good as they could be: weak accountability and poor incentives. Are TTLs and managers rewarded sufficiently for projects and policy dialogue that are built upon the best knowledge available? And are they rewarded sufficiently for good implementation? My sense is the answer to both questions is No. If that's the case, organizational changes that don't tackle this fundamental issue will fail. DfID recently took bold steps on the first of these, introducing anonymous peer review, with peer reviews expressly told to recommend rejection or "revise and resubmit" for projects that are poorly designed due to a failure to incorporate state-of-the-art thinking on the topic being addressed. Martin Ravallion had a proposal along these lines though the idea could probably be handled within the existing paperwork. He also had a bold idea that would help tackle the second problem – weak incentives to implement well. He and Mead Over proposed that staff acquire "development impact wealth" over their career according to the development impact of their projects; these points would translate into real money, and would continue to accrue even after a new TTL has taken over the project. Of course, other people will have other ideas. My point is that unless the ideas for change address the fundamental issues of accountability and incentives vis-à-vis putting knowledge to use in design and implementation, I suspect our wheels will be just spinning in the sand.
You asked about the DEC Visiting Expert Program. The details are here. The first round closed on 3/31/13 but I'm sure there will be others. Demand was very strong!
Dear Adam and Tamar
Dear Adam and Tamar
Thank you very much for the original blog and Tamar for her comments. I think the WB focus on delivery and its science will be a welcome change for us in the developing world. Also, I think Tamar's 3-pointer on knowledge management, local partners and experimentation are clear directives.
I will also point to Dr. Kim's prefatory comments before the WB talk by Christina Paxson on the role of higher education. I think WB would do a good job if it advised higher education managers in developing countries also to focus on delivery.
I work at an "excellence" institute in India and I have a tough time convincing our management that "relevance" or "delivery" also poses hard research problems. Also, it needs a new pedagogy of engineering. My attempt is at:
I have also tried to explain this in a paper "Knowledge and Practice for India as a Developing Country". I think the the development of "practice" and respecting it as first-rate "knowledge" is the key to development.
Thank and best wishes.
I am a Ph.D candidate of health policy in Tehran University of Medical Science (TUMS), Iran. My thesis field is in health system financing and equity. I want to ask some questions: Can I get your advice during the completion of my thesis?
Thanks for your attention
Dear Adam,
Dear Adam,
On the "science of delivery" versus "implementation science" as applied to development, health systems delivery, etc.
As the World Bank articulates and extends the principles and practices of the "science of delivery", it will be helpful to early adopters and front-line implementers, especially in the developing world, if the differences and similarities between "implementation science" as applied to development and health systems delivery and "science of delivery" is made explicit. Also, the early involvement and synchronisation with other agencies such as the World Health Organization would enhance the harmonisation of terminologies and concepts to prevent potential future duplication that may invariably arise when the "funders/development agencies" begin to roll-out the usual inevitable "capacity-building" and "monitoring and evaluation" programmes.
It would be helpful if the promotion of the "science of delivery" is prevented from having any future detrimental effect on the front-line delivery of services.
Dear Adam,
Art and Science of delivery
Thanks for an excellent and highly topical blog. I work in the area of food and livelihood security through agriculture research for development and I see the same issues, as in healthcare development domain you have taken up in your blog.
A lot of 'science' is sitting on shelf as the delivery has been less than optimum, for various reasons in various contexts. Yes, scientists would like to talk science, but I would encourage, for greater impact, to expand this to Art and Science of Delivery. Where the science of delivery starts getting suffocated, the art of delivery should kick in and both should complement each other.
We as a community are running out of time to meet the needs of the growing youth population around the world, and especially in Asia and Africa. Failure is not an option - science for development has to reach the last mile; be the delivery of science enabled by the science of delivery or the art of delivery or a combination.

Bright atmosphere
During a summer the Ril´s concept store in Helsinki were going through a renovation; and since the old lighting was unsatisfying, Fagerhult was contacted. Ril's offers a total clothing concept for the modern woman who appreciates timeless elegance and good price.
The customer were looking for a lighting solution that would support the new clean cut and elegant interior design where the clothes where the main attraction.
Generate freshness
The lighting design had to generate freshness to the shopping space; not forgetting to play with contrasts. A sufficient lighting level accompanied with good colour rendering was required for the successful exposure of the garments. Also, the solution had to address the challenge of heat generation and energy consumption which both had been problematic in the past. Further, the design had to comply with existing ceiling construction which was different on the two floors.
After these given requirements; a solution using ZoneBeam for the recessed areas and ZonePoint* for the surface mounted areas on the cellar floor were developed.
The ceiling version of Iceberg was added for a touch of visual comfort and general store appearance. Working throughout the store with 35 W addressed the heat and energy questions well.
Gave a bright atmosphere
Once completed the customer was very satisfied with the visual feel and bright atmosphere that the lighting design gave the store.
New Ril´s concept stores have continued using the same successful design.
* Zone Point is no longer in production. Please see Zone Evo G2.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Despite its best effort of the season in smallbore and another strong effort in air, MIT rifle was swept for the first time this season in a loss against national-power Navy. The Engineers lost decisively in both guns despite their top aggregate score of the season, 4591-4365.
The Midshipmen were sensational in air rifle as all four competitors topped 580 points. Josh Albright and Lisa Kunzelman tied for the afternoon high with a total of 586. Sophomore Emily Houston served as Tech's top gun in the event after firing a 573. Navy totaled 2335 in air compared to the Engineers' total of 2220, which was just 10 points off MIT's season high.
In smallbore, Navy once again placed its entire unit in front of the Engineers. Albright enjoyed honors as the day's top marksman, totaling 572 to pace all shooters. Houston and rookie Joseph Lane secured the best score for MIT after tying with a total of 588. Lane finished strong from his knees to bounce back from a sub-par performance in the standing position. Navy scored 2256 to upend the Engineers, who still managed a season-high with a total of 2145.
Lane established personal high's in both guns during Saturday's loss, while Justine Li shot 523 in air and 467 in smallbore to also secure personal records. Sarah Miles added a new personal best in air with a score of 541, while Jennifer Paek helped MIT to its season-best effort in smallbore after chipping in her own personal high. Paek closed out MIT's scoring in air rifle as well with a total score of 540.

If that's the case, then yes, you do need to have seen the side materials to understand it better.
However, purely from the show itself, was there anything central to the show's plot that came out of nowhere? The background of characters are not in the scope of the show's issue.
If such slow, deep, style of presentation does not work for you, no problem sure, but saying it's random just because tons of exposition on them were not presented beforehand is off the mark.

K is pretty easy to understand and pretty straight forward. The interaction between red and blue king, fushimi and yata, red blue clans all are not that deep or complicated relationships in anyway. i enjoy the anime though. it doesn't try to be deep or give any sort of message other than bonds between people. it might seem there is not much explanations like how red and blue king met, were they even friends for long etc. but those kinds of things look like they will dwell on in manga or novel or side stories.
they only got 13 episodes, the main characters are kuroh-shiro and neko who have to resolve the red and blue and colorless dispute.

I saw an interesting theory on tumblr where someone was looking at the scene with the colorless king (erm, where Kukuri is standing in a tree and suddenly has a multiway conversation with themself) and noticed that the filter over the scene changed slightly each time someone new talked. They thought it might indicate that the colorless king already absorbed the green and black kings, I disagree but thought it was interesting enough to mention.
I've also got a small theory, what if the colorless king isn't, well, the colorless king? Whenever we've seen them floating around they look more like a fox spirit than anything else and the show has shown that you can have animals that are strains (the horse from the Red manga, Neko) so I'm wondering if he might just be a really powerful strain that's out to mess with everyone.
Hmm, this might be why I've seen so many people say "this show is confusing and didn't foreshadow anything!" and people who go "this show had a ton of foreshadowing!", it's almost all visual foreshadowing. Most of the hints people had that Shiro was the silver king came from a few scenes where he did something, there was a cut to another angle where all the viewer could see was a silver light, it's a show that makes use of it's visual component. That's why I thought the theory from tumblr was interesting, it relies both on auditory (the changes in mannerisms and voice between, erm, voices) and visual (with slightly changing the color of the scene) cues which is what, as someone said earlier, a mystery does.

i am pretty disappointed with mikoto's character. people seem to make him to be some sort of badass but really he was just a ass what he did to his clan and his friend munakata. seriously shiro had to die and then munakata had to stab him even though he wanted to try and save suoh.
hopefully the next season or ova or whatever focuses on other colors and not reds. hoping for green and black reveal.

Spoiler for ep 13:
Aaand sequel! Cool, I guess? I wonder how they'll write themselves out of what happened in this ep.
Altogether, K was a very enjoyable show, much better than I expected, with enough heart, self-awareness and humor to be more than a cookie-cutter eyecandy galore. I cautiously look forward to the sequel.
Until then, Neko - I'll miss you the most! ;__; )

[Verse 1]
Asshole, yeah that's what they calling me
And they can watch the time fly
While they wait on an apology
D.F.Y., D.F.Y., that's the story of my life
They always told me don't speak
If you ain't saying nothing nice
Attitude over everything, everything over my exes
Everyone stays for dinner
Only the chosen stay for breakfast
Sorry, I'm not sorry
Came in tardy to the party, dressing, acting like I'm Ari
They ask me why I'm conceited
And why I'm over-achieving
People done fucked me over
So really I'm just getting even
There's a price on my head, I'm going for dead
'Cause nobody cares about me
I've been way too self-involved, I guess it's my fault
Maybe we'll just have to wait and see
And you know...
As I'm living, I dont stress 'em, I God bless 'em
Learned that lesson, now I'm better
I'm walking into confession
One shot for my people
Who never made it up out the ghetto
To get through this shit
I'm gon' need another shot of espresso
Fuck 'em all is what I'm yellin' 'til I die
Did it all on my own, I'm doin' what I fantasized
Might have hurt a couple feelings, but I never told no lies
And the nerve of these folks, they want me to apologize?
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not
Sorry for stuntin', sorry for nothin'
Sorry for what? Sorry, I'm not sorry
[Verse 2]
Asshole, why the fuck you callin' me?
Said it 'cause I had to, that wasn't a real apology
Scorpio my astrology, tardiness is my policy
"Lived a man, died a legend" someday will be my biography
Living and loving and learning, watching the world as it's turning
They say that this is just murder, please let me call my attorney
Dudes, what about 'em? See boyfriends are like assholes
Every girl's got one, it's just that we don't want to hear about 'em
I'm in London and Paris, stunt and embarrass, shopping at Harrod's
Seeing an heiress, she lies to parents, she's running my errands
And wondering why I dont want to get married
'Cause I don't give a fuck, don't give a fuck
(Won't you tell 'em like)
I dont give a fuck, don't give a fuck
In love and war there are no rules and no regulations
No judges, no congregations
No hugs and no conversations
No love and no consummation
Stop letting my confidence expose all your insecurities
And you wonder why nothing worries me
(Thought I told 'em, you know)
I told him, "real men never ask for help"
He turned to me and said, "son, don't flatter yourself"
I told him, "real men never ask for help"
He turned to me and said, "son, don't flatter yourself"

Who knows how it will show up but I dunno, just figured darn it, i never boast about wins but felt good about this one.

Well, if 77% of the country can be considered a "minority", then yes, christians are a minority. Republican Politicians who don't make pretend outrage part of their speechifying.... such a tiny minority, they're probably being hidden in a flock of dodo birds.
from the reference above
I swear, politicians are so full of bullshit these days, I almost can't take it! Since religion is one of my most hated things, the religious crap they spew gets me the most heated (usually), but they're just generally clueless, insensitive, self-interested, ignorant assholes. Damn, I hate politics. It's one of those things that I have to quite often ignore because I literally can't handle how upset it gets me sometimes. Life is hard enough, and I can't handle politics turning my life into one, long, super angry event. But that's what would happen if I really focused on statements like this every time I saw one!
This is the type of math you get when a parent, who got their GED after taking the test 3 times, home schools their children with a curriculum from the Creation Institute.
The good news is the chart posted by Sentient. A 14% drop in christians. Granted, it's over a 50 year period, and the progress is slow, but at least it's progress.
Yeah, but we're accelerating, particularly in the under-30 crowd.
There are some christians out there who will twist any attack or challenge of their faith into "persecution," one of the hottest of all hot-button words. I find it amazing that these same people want to insist that the US is a christian nation, yet will turn around and attempt to assert that they are a minority under attack!
I suspect what is going on here is that, after having it THEIR way for a very long time, these christians are discovering that there are other opinions out there, other points of view, and that theirs doesn't have the universal support that they would like to believe it has. The most uncomfortable revelation of all may be that those opposing opinions - OURS - have substance behind them and that the foundation of their faith is based more in repeated lies and prevarications than in any established fact.
Bingo. When you look at how people have been persecuted (very often by Christians but we don't even need to go there for this point to be made) in the world's history, you see burnings, hangings, torture, systematic extermination of people and stamping-out of ways of life.
These silly buggers are calling persecution because people are, at worst, being sarcastic. The only systematic destruction that's going on that could possibly harm Christianity as a movement? The destruction of human ignorance. They're not being hurt by secularism, they're being hurt by the expansion of knowledge.
It may be that, at some level, they recognize that knowledge and ignorance don't get along, that faith and reason have no intersection set, and that their unfounded belief is being displaced by something WITH a foundation, with form and substance and corroboration, all things their faith lacks. That faith has been a long-standing facet of their everyday life, and to realize, either consciously or unconsciously, that it's being pushed aside because it hasn't a leg to stand on is going to be intensely uncomfortable and downright painful in places.
Their reaction predictably comes of their irrationality, no great surprise, as they haven't been used to think rationally about their belief. If their reaction is couched in anger and incoherence, we shouldn't be surprised. It doesn't change the fact that we need to stick TO FACTS, even as they need to adjust to the realization that they have NONE.
They may be in the majority, but it is a shrinking majority. We may be a minority, but a minority growing and on the move.
Pick your version.
Yeah, absolutely, knowledge is the enemy of religion, and they know it. They even admit it and talk about the fair playing field as if it was a bad thing. I just can't imagine someone making that sort of admission and not seeing what it says about their position. I saw some vaguely similar things when I was in the Catholic church, as a child, but I never understood it. I was a snarky little bastard, since I had seen through all of the delusion before I was 10, and these silly people still couldn't see it.
I was a snarky little bastard
You still are :)
Nah, it's just the confusion that comes from not being able to see the facial expressions and intonation that go along with the words, here in text only. I'm just misunderstood.
I suspect what is going on here is that, after having it THEIR way for a very long time, these christians are discovering that there are other opinions out there, other points of view, and that theirs doesn't have the universal support that they would like to believe it has. The most uncomfortable revelation of all may be that those opposing opinions - OURS - have substance behind them and that the foundation of their faith is based more in repeated lies and prevarications than in any established fact. Loren
And don't let 'em forget it. No deference, no respect. Keep the pressure on. No accommodation.

MEANProductions needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 163 designs submitted by 53 freelance designers.
We are making an independently financed feature film about the world of social networking and the dangers of mistaken identities. The fictitious social networking site in the film incorporates both "chat" capabilities and "profiles" in the vein of MYSPACE, FACEBOOK and AIM.
The price for the logo may seem low, but we are also offering CREDIT in the feature film, which will help you get an IMDB page upon completion!
The people who would use the site in the film are mainly teenagers and young adults in the present day-- the look of the site should be clean and be reminiscent of the simple logos on other social networks.
We do not have "requirements" so much as suggestions we would like to have tried in the logos. The logo is for a fictional site called URFRENZ:
- Feel free to try variations on capitalization (ie; UrFrenz, UrFRENZ, URFrenz, URfrenz, urFRENZ, urfrenz, etc)
- You can either INCLUDE the ".com" or NOT INCLUDE it-- try both!
- Graphics, logos and symbol are all welcome-- but likely the more toned down the better. If in doubt, keep it simple!
- TAGLINE: "Online, All the Time" (this is not mandatory, but an option to play with!)
- COLOR SCHEME: we will likely be working with a light blue or a light colored scheme (similar to FACEBOOK and MYSPACE) so please keep that in mind with the color of your logo
- FILM CREDIT: The winning designer has the option of having their name in the credits of the film as:
Good luck and we look forward to seeing your designs!

The other day I was aimlessly teevee surfing, trying to watch something watchable on Indian teevee (yeah. my bad!), which I tend to do from time to time, being the eternal optimist I am. I didn't succeed in that, as usual, but I did realize something which gave me the sads.
A sort of epiphany, if I may say so.
They finally killed romance at it's last remaining place of residence.
During the early 90's, when everyone was still innocent (because the internet was not that widespread and the only way to learn about sex was to read one of the 200 printed copies of a Shobha De book) and the only supercouple on teevee was Ram & Sita (they were like Bella & Edward from Twilight, except with less brooding and no sex), the leading protagonist from the epic Ramayana (it was just like Avatar, except instead of an American company, the good guys were fighting a really smart evil king. And the leader of the good guys was an actual real life AVATAR! In fact, he was probably the first Avatar ever!!).
So this ancient supercouple were the ideal representation of love on the small screen. However, their love took an ugly turn (which was very Alec Baldwin/Kim Bassinger-esque) and Sita ended up visiting her aunt in the earth's core, forever. (That's how the used to break up in ancient times. None of the modern 'I hope we can be friends' crap. Once you were done, boy, were you fucking done!).
Apparently, melodrama was all the rage back then!
The next supercouple which caught the nation's eye was from a cartoon show. Even though the show was for little children, it caught the adults fancy. That was because it contained the cutest couple on Indian television ever, Bagheera & Baloo.
Yes, that's right.
Though they weren't a conventional couple, and their love was the love that dare not speak it's name, (homophobia was all the rage back then) those of us in the know nodded our head and played along.
On Sunday morning, whenever that really irritating song came on, the whole family sat together and saw Bagheera and Baloo bring up their adopted retarded human child, whose name was Mowgli. In fact, if it wasn't for them, Mowgli would have grown up to be an animal!
They bickered, fought over all the little things like household expenditures and in-laws, however, just like every other teevee couple, they made up.
Awww, love, thy name is Bagheera & Baloo!
Then, in the aughts, came the supercouple to beat all the other supercouples.
The greatest one of them all.
Mihir and Tulsi.
Indian teevee's Bragelina!
They had 1,000,0000,00000,0000000,0000000,000000 kids, of both the legitimate and the illegitimate variety, magically born without them ever "bumping uglies". They stayed together through so many ups and downs, aided in their adventures by one lonely woman who was probably as old as the earth itself.
Both Mihir & Tulsi loved each other so much that they came back from the dead, a couple of times, just to be with each other again. In fact, both of them voluntarily kept changing their appearance so as to keep the romance alive!. Say what you will about them but, boy, that's called commitment.
Now, even thought those two are not on teevee anymore, sometimes, when the night sky is clear, one can see them floating in space, along with their favourite old woman, because their saga is endless, just like a Manmohan Singh speech .
That was the past.
And this is the present.
'I just want to grab once' is the new 'Honey, your eyes are so beautiful'
Just like everything else, the most unreal thing on the teevee, "Reality Television", has ruined romance!
All everyone wants to do in these shows is fuck each other & get famous! Nobody wants to do the hard work of developing an actual talent. Even if they want to sleep their way to the top, they should do it discreetly, like in they used to do in olden times!
I don't know about you, but I'd rather believe that some woman lived for a thousand years rather than some misogynist who looks like Himesh Reyshamia and Shakti Kapoor had a love-child will get two, intelligent woman to get "intimate" with him. Although, girlfriend, if you end up with that guy, you're really not that intelligent!
There was a time when people actually cared for the pretention of romance. In fact, some families were so modern that they let both their children speak to each other before they arranged their marriage!
And from that we went to this?
What has the world come to? A person can't even cheat on his significant other. Isn't that what they are there for? Why can't they find out about each other's ventures outside their relationship in twenty years, when the illegitimate child comes to take his share of the money, like other normal people?
This began when all of us started watching Ally McBeal and took relationship advise from the cast of F.R.I.E.N.D.S.!
We took something so beautiful like forcibly living together with each other even though the love died long ago and all you're doing now is keeping up appearances and we turned it into something so ugly!
This is going to be our generation's teevee legacy. A bunch of illiterate people shouting the f-word at each other, completely out of context.
We helped kill something which gave hope to millions of suppressed kids that maybe one day they might actually have a chance to be happy before they grew up and their cynicism took over.
For that, we need to hang our heads in shame.
Just like the
old guy wearing a wig young woman in the scene below.

NCATE Accredits Wabash's Teacher Education Programby Howard W. Hewitt • May 11, 2006 Share:
Wabash College's Teacher Education program has been accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Seven Wabash men will graduate from the Teacher Education program this year. Wabash's report to NCATE reported 24 students in Teacher Education during the 2004-2005 school years.
"The NCATE accreditation is national acknowledgment of the quality of our Teacher Education Program at Wabash College," said Assistant Professor of Teacher Education Michelle Pittard. "It is an extensive process of accountability that shows our program and our students do in fact meet national standards in terms of preparation for becoming teachers."
NCATE is an alliance of more than 30 national professional organizations of the teaching profession and education policy community that are committed to quality teaching. It is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation as a professional accrediting body for teacher preparation.
The program will remain fully accredited nationally over a seven-year cycle, noted Professor Deborah Butler, Director of Teacher Education.
The College described its Teacher Education program in its Institutional Report Card. "The College achieves excellence in teaching and learning within a community built on close and caring relationships among students, faculty, and staff. The mission of the teacher education program at Wabash College, as a deeply embedded part of this liberal education, is to prepare and develop young people by providing them with a broad general education, one that helps them develop the intellectual, social and moral tools to live productive lives within a democratic society. To this end, Wabash teachers are educated within the conceptual framework of the "liberally educated professional."

Last week I saw my buddy Levi Maestro in California and he was telling me about his new project Becomb (you may have seen it popping up on Instagram).
He said that when you're doing what you love, time becomes irrelevant and he handed me one of his beautiful Infinity Pieces. It took me a second to realise there was no watch! I love this concept so much. Most people don't even wear watches for the sake of functionality, so why not remove function altogether? Timeless time pieces.
I'm always inspired by people like Levi really going after it – not just talking – actually doing it. Now I have a nice reminder every time I look at my wrist.

Not sure if celiac friendly. I think you can get them to clean out the blizzard machine. I order fries, which I believed are fried with other gluten containing items. I also have ordered an M&M blizzard, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup blizzard, a blue raspberry artic rush, and a grilled chicken sandwich minus the bun. I never got sick. Again, not sure about cross contamination.
603 S 2nd St, Folkston, GA 31537
Great Place! We love the food and the service.
295 Hayes Blvd, Oakville, ON L6H 6Z3, Canada
Very much enjoyed my chocolate covered cherries blizzard. They were able to quickly clean out the machine so that mine would be gluten free, and had an allergen binder available to verify ingredients
|Celiac friendly
3300 Gull Rd, Kalamazoo, MI 49048
This location did a great job with providing me gluten free - Instead of a blizzard, I got the toppings layered in with ice cream to avoid cross contamination. She even grabbed brand new toppings to avoid any risk of cross contamination. I felt safe here and they did an amazing job.
917 S Saginaw Rd, Midland, MI 48640
They have gluten free options for ice cream.
850 N Easton Rd, Glenside, PA 19038
They have gluten free cones for ice cream. I think it is a 25 cent charge. They grab it from the back with paper around the cone for cross contamination. Nice to have a cone option
4036 N Tenaya Way, Las Vegas, NV 89129
if you tell them that you have an allergy to gluten they can use their computer to look up and tell you everything that is safe for you to have
109 N Broadway St, Joshua, TX 76058
Ice cream and some of the treats are gluten free. They use a separate frier for their french fries. Burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches without bun are safe.
3195 NE Loop 286, Paris, TX 75460
You will have to look up the gluten free menu on the web, but it is on DQ's page.
1059 N Lake Dr, Prestonsburg, KY 41653
Gluten free ice cream treats. Friendly staff. Great environment.
1619 Grant Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19115
This Dairy Queen offers gluten free ice cream cones and gluten-free ice cream cakes if you order them in advance. The ice cream cakes have chocolate ice cream on the bottom gluten free cookies in the center and vanilla ice cream on top. They can write happy birthday and a name also on the cake.
108 S Sharon Amity Rd, Charlotte, NC 28211
This location keeps a clean Blizzard machine at all times for anyone with allergies! The employee didn't even question me, just went straight to the clean one. I asked and he said they have many customers with allergies so have a separate one they always clean after use!
|Celiac friendly
2015 5th St, Sandusky, OH 44870
We stopped here for a treat after a day at Cedar Point. My husband has celiac disease and loves the vanilla soft serve ice cream in a dish. This is what he ordered (not mentioning that he has celiac disease). They tried to give him the ice cream in a dish with a cone on top 😂! He said that he couldn't eat that and they quickly gave him one without the cone.
|Celiac friendly
335 Centre Ave, Abington, MA 02351
Gluten Free Menu available online. Ice Cream makers will clean blizzard machine before they mix yours if you have allergy. GREAT
3613 Pennsylvania 31, Donegal, PA 15628
Dairy Queen has a gluten free guide online. Food was fine, but it took them forever to make it. Had fries and grill burger without bun. Not sure if celiac friendly.
975 National Pike W, Brownsville, PA 15417
I don't think anyone has ever ordered a burger without a bun here before because they looked at me weird. Dairy Queen has a GF list online. Not sure about cross contamination at this location.
|Celiac friendly
68 Boulder Blvd, Stony Plain, AB T7Z 1V7, Canada T7Z 1V7
Awesome if they have celiac free
|Celiac friendly
5713 Mayfield Rd, Mayfield Heights, OH 44124
It's great. Great great great. Outstanding
1015 4th Ave S, Denison, IA 51442
This location is privately owned and not a part of the Brazier DQs and while it has many of the same things it's still a lot different. Before being diagnosed with CD I always thought it was the best DQ out there. Now it's hard to navigate the menu to figure out what is GF. I have asked about the Ice Cream and they read off the ingredients to me which were GF, yay! The Brazier allergen list shows Hot Fudge as being okay so I usually get a Hot Fudge sundae and I think the Denison burger is all beef so I get the double Denison with no bun and have no problems. I'm happy to be able to continue enjoying this summer treat with my family.
415 10th Ave SE, Milaca, MN 56353
good food and friendly service
7530 212th Street Southwest, Edmonds, WA 98026
Great for deserts! If ordering blizzards they may be cross contaminated. Ask to have the machine cleaned first. I love peanut butter parfaits with chocolate ice cream.They have just remodeled recently too.Gwen makes the best ice cream treats ever!
|Celiac friendly
51 Shunpike Rd, Cromwell, CT 06416
Although not a ton of gluten free options, this location has dedicated fryer for French fries. Not all DQ's have a dedicated fryer so this was a treat.
3130 Lovers LN, Kalamazoo Township, MI 49001-3738
I had a wonderful experience at this DQ :) The lady at the counter very knowledgeable of gluten and contamination. Did a cleaning and sanitized Blizzard machine.
|Celiac friendly
10241 William Penn Highway, Huntingdon, PA 16652
They are very kind about having gluten free here! If you call ahead, they will clean out a blender for you for a blizzard. The Reese's Blizzard is a safe bet.
|Celiac friendly
316 South Power Road, Mesa, AZ 85206
If you go into Dairy Queen and tell them you are celiac or can't have gluten, they will change their gloves and change the oil in the fryer, etc...There fries are gluten free and their burgers are too. And they will give you any package to read the ingredients on it if you request it.....
51 Shunpike Rd, Cromwell, CT 06416
This location has a dedicated fryer for fries. If you order a blizzard (and ask) they will clean the machine to avoid cross contamination. Their peanut sauce and hot fudge are gf. They have a drive thru, so you can get a quick bite.
|Not celiac friendly
716 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414
didn't know what was gluten free and what wasn't. when I asked if she could check she ignored me. don't go here!
|Celiac friendly
32900 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC, Canada V2S 5A1
If you give them a few days notice, you can order their ice cream cakes GF - they will exclude the cookie crumbs. Super delicious!
|Not celiac friendly
2130 West Sycamore Street, Kokomo, IN 46901
Upon talking to the staff, the fryer is not a dedicated fryer. They fry the cheese curds in the same fryer as the fries. Also the buns are occasionally cooked on the same grill as the burgers. They can make the dessert items for you however. They are more than willing to clean the machines for you.
210 Primrose Drive, Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7K 6Y6
Some of their blizzards and frozen treats are gluten free
117 2nd Street Northeast, Madison, SD 57042
Wonderful staff goes to any lengths to make sure my daughters meal is Gluten Free. Dedicated GF fryer for fries, and a variety of kid friendly GF choices makes this our favorite stop in Madison!
2130 West Sycamore Street, Kokomo, IN 46901
Sycamore street location has dedicated fry fryer and they are gluten free. Some desserts are gluten free, tell them you have a food allergy and they will clean machine if you are getting a blizzard or shake.

Your future-- or even just the future in general-- can be a scary subject to think about. Your financial future can seem like a nightmare, especially if you are just getting out of college or are at the beginning of a new chapter in your life. However, it doesn't have to be so terrifying or intimidating. Baby steps can be taken and small changes can be made so that saving money for the future and having control over your finances can eventually become quite easy. Here are a few steps you should take before diving into saving your pennies.
1- What Do I Have To Work With?
· Make sure you have income before taking any other steps. There can be no savings if you have no source of income, which also means you cannot pay for any of your expenses or needs if you have no source of income either. Savings cannot be accomplished if your expenses and needs aren't being met by a sufficient income. Be sure to secure income before thinking about building a savings plan.
· That being said, it's okay to explore job options that aren't exactly what you want or what you went to school for. Obtaining a job that doesn't fit what you want doesn't have to be a bad thing. It can act as the momentum and funding you need in order to pursue your passions/ideals on the side until it evolves into your main source of income. You never know where an unexpected opportunity will take you. I always thought I would be an NFL Quarterback, but working at New York Community turned out to be a great opportunity for me.
2- What Are My Ultimate Saving Goals?
· Start with short term goals, like saving for a night out with your friends. For example: tell yourself you are going to try and pack lunch for work/school at least two to three times during the upcoming week or a set number of times throughout one month. Let's say lunch costs approximately $20. If you pack lunch two days out of one week, you save $40. If you pack lunch three days, you save $60. Accomplishing this short term goal will not only feel fulfilling, but will motivate you to achieve your long term goals. Ironically even today, 23 years later, I still pack my lunch for work. Old habits die hard. If you take those lunches over 23 years and estimate my personal savings of $10 a day, I probably have saved around $75,000 just on food alone!!
· As for long term goals, they can be made for anywhere between six months to five years or more. For example: you can set out to save $5,000 during the span of one year for a vacation with your family the following year or save $10,000 towards a car you really want to buy. Accomplishing your short term goals of saving $40-$60 a week can add to the money you have already set aside for general savings, which can be set aside whenever possible.
3- How Do I Budget According to My Goals?
· In order to create a budget, you have to adjust your spending according to your income. This means looking at how much you are paid during each pay period (a pay period can range from daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) and making sure every dollar is accounted for in your budget so you have no room for unnecessary spending.
· The general guideline you should follow when generating a budget is income à expenses à goals (savings). Expenses are generally defined as the bills or necessary spending you need to do in order to complete day to day functions (i.e. utility bill, mortgage, gas for your car(s), groceries, etc.).
· As you are creating your budget, you should differentiate your needs vs. your wants then prioritize what can fit within your budget. Needs are typically the same as expenses, but can also include medication, clothing, etc. Wants normally go along the lines of going out to eat, buying the latest fashions, video games, jewelry, movie tickets, etc. Accommodate to your needs first then see if you can fit in your wants while allocating money to go into your savings. If this cannot be done, a want can always be moved to the next weekly or monthly budget. You really need to ask yourself, "Is this something I want to go into debt for now or can wait for when I have the money?"
4- How Can I Manage My Purchasing Decisions?
· In order to make smart spending decisions, you need to learn about the value of what you are buying. This can be done by looking at multiple vendors that sell the same product to see which one will give you the most product with the best quality for the lowest price.
· Always be on the lookout for sales and discounts. If you are aware of sales and discounts, you can take advantage of them to stock up on a product at a lower cost rather than continually purchasing it over time at a higher price.
· Manage impulse buying. Sometimes a really great product or service can come out without much initial marketing, which leads to a quick judgment that it is necessary to buy said product or service right away. This is normally not the case. Most products or services can be attained at multiple points in time, therefore it is always smart to curb excitement and wait until you are financially ready to spend the money that the service or product costs. Think to yourself, "Do I want to continue to pay for the past or learn to pay as I go?"
5- What Is the Difference Between Using Cash, Credit, and Debit?
· Cash is very straight forward. You have however much you have, and there is no room to use more than what you have. A smart thing to do is once you get your paycheck, take out a minimum amount of spending money in cash. This will be very effective in cutting down your spending because you will only be able to use what you physically have. Also, you can always take the change (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters) and put it in a jar so that it can build up over time and eventually be added to your savings.
· Debit/ATM cards are a bit tricky because while they are connected to your checking account and let you spend the money within that account, they can also be overdrawn—meaning it is possible for it to go negative so that you owe the bank money. A minimum is required by most banks in order for you to have a bank account with them, which is why it is important to try and not overdraw your account. It is best to connect your debit/ATM card to certain accounts you need to pay off, such as a credit card, insurance plan, or car installments. You can make the payments automatic so you don't have to worry about them being on time and definitively separate your spending money from your saving money. This can also be done by connecting the payments directly to your bank account using your account and routing number.
· Credit is mostly known as a necessary evil and is a personal choice. It is possible to make large purchases without a credit score, however, in order to make certain large purchases, such as a house, car, or apartment credit can be required. It helps companies or owners of establishments evaluate how well you handle your money. Credit card companies give you an allowance of a certain amount of money that you can use at your leisure but must pay off over time. If you miss payments, it will negatively affect your credit—which is shown through a score (a scale that ranges from 0 – 800). The best way to go about using a credit card or cards is by spending only as much as you know you can pay off. You can save it for emergencies so it will be an occasional indulgences or use it for a few things such as a cup of coffee here and there or gas. This method will allow you to fulfill your monthly payments or for you to completely pay off your card so your score remains high and so that you don't have to dip into your savings to pay off a card.
6- If I Want to Invest My Money, How Do I Invest It Wisely?
· Investing money you want to save is something you should do with caution. Investments are essentially you spending money now so that you can possibly earn money later on depending on who you invest your money in and when you invest it.
· While investing in companies or organizations can be risky, they can also be very rewarding. It all depends on how well you research where your money is going and how it is being used by the company you are investing in.
· Something to bear in mind with investing is that it takes time to accumulate. It can take anywhere from days to years for your money to grow in an investment. In this case, patience and mindfulness are key. If you are saving for something in the far future, it might be smart to make a wise investment to accumulate money without having to add to the amount yourself. Whatever you do, try not to put all your eggs in one basket. Diversity is key.
7- Why Should I Use A Bank and How Do I Choose The Right Bank For Me?
· While it is always an option to save your money at home and keep it under your mattress, using a bank can be a much more efficient and safe way to manage and save your money. They offer both a checking and savings account. A checking account is the one you have access to through your debit/ATM card. A savings account is money that no one can touch except you via online banking or through a teller—making it harder to spend.
· It is very safe. Your money is secure since most banks take several precautions against identity fraud, theft, and risky investments. Also, by using a bank your money is federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), meaning your money is guaranteed to be there.
· In addition, banks pay you interest for banking with them. Banks do this because you entrust them with your money, you enable them with the ability to give loans to those in need. The interest they pay you is compensation for allowing them to do so. This in no way means you are losing money. Banks take several precautions to make sure that the loans they give out will be paid back and that all accounts will continually have the amount each customer has deposited.
· All of this means you should pick a bank that you trust to look after both your spending money and savings money. I am very proud of our employees at NYCB. At the end of the day, generally banks offer very similar services and rates, but it's the people that make the difference.
So as you can see there are several steps that you can take in order to have more control over your finances and your financial future. While this is a lot of information to take in, it can all be done slowly over time so you are not overwhelmed. Also, keep in mind that slip-ups happen! It won't be a perfect journey, but if you follow just a few of these helpful tips, managing your money will be a little less stressful.

You can see here a basic map of Changwat Maha Sarakham from OpenStreetMap, but you can switch easily to other types of the map: Just choose the second option above the map and you can see Bing Maps, which offer other types of detailed maps of Changwat Maha Sarakham, related countries, geographical places etc. You can also switch to aerial and birds eye maps of Changwat Maha Sarakham there.
You may remember we offered other types of maps here also in the past, for example Google Maps, Nokia Maps and MapQuest Maps, and many kinds of their infomaps, like the traffic map, bike trails, weather map, map with photos and map of public transport from these sources. But some of these services cancelled their operations or changed the conditions under which their maps may be displayed. We sincerely hope you appreciate these new kinds of maps here, as you can see, for example, the difference between the OpenStreetMap vector map tiles from Mapzen shown by Leaflet here and the bitmap tiles from Bing Maps. We are considering adding more maps of Changwat Maha Sarakham in the near future again.
You may not only switch among different types of maps using the switches above the map, but you can also change settings of the map using controls on the map. See more details of Changwat Maha Sarakham using the zoom control on the left side or see street or terrain map of Changwat Maha Sarakham using the controls on the top of the map (Bing Maps). In the past you could also place the yellow figure (Google Maps) to see a street view of any interesting place, but this feature is not available here anymore. But you can see the Birds eye view on the Bing Maps here. Notice: Not all features are available everywhere. Some maps offer more details then the others.
Look below to see more useful information regarding Changwat Maha Sarakham and the map of Changwat Maha Sarakham. You can find links to other places related to Changwat Maha Sarakham, but there are also tips about how to easily print the map of Changwat Maha Sarakham, where to find detailed information about Changwat Maha Sarakham, how to plan your journey and much more.

This document describes how to install the APC UPS daemon. The main advantage of using an APC UPS (for me) is that it can communicate with your Linux box through either a RS-232 or USB serial connection. In the event of a prolonged power outage, should the APC UPS lose most of its battery capacity, it can tell the Linux box to perform a safe shutdown.
- 1 Install the package
- 2 Configure APC UPS
- 3 Test
- 4 Hibernating instead of shutting down
- 5 The desktop environment will also sense the UPS if connected by USB cable
- 6 See also
Install the package
Install apcupsd from the official repositories.
Configure APC UPS
The main configuration file for the APC UPS daemon can be found here:
In the following example, the lines of text are changed to support a USB style cable:
UPSCABLE smart UPSTYPE smartups DEVICE /dev/ttyS0
UPSCABLE usb UPSTYPE usb DEVICE /dev/usb/hiddev[[0-15]]
First, enable and start the systemd service.
systemctl enable apcupsd.service systemctl start apcupsd.service
Next, wait about a minute and confirm the daemon is running and properly monitoring the battery:
# apcaccess status APC : 001,033,0819 DATE : Sat Mar 05 SOMETIME 2005 HOSTNAME : somehostname RELEASE : 3.10.16 VERSION : 3.10.16 (04 November 2004) unknown UPSNAME : somehostname CABLE : USB Cable MODEL : Back-UPS ES 725 UPSMODE : Stand Alone STARTTIME: Sat Mar SOMETIME 2005 STATUS : ONLINE LINEV : 119.0 Volts LOADPCT : 23.0 Percent Load Capacity BCHARGE : 100.0 Percent TIMELEFT : 30.5 Minutes MBATTCHG : 5 Percent MINTIMEL : 3 Minutes MAXTIME : 0 Seconds LOTRANS : 088.0 Volts HITRANS : 138.0 Volts ALARMDEL : Always BATTV : 13.5 Volts NUMXFERS : 0 TONBATT : 0 seconds CUMONBATT: 0 seconds XOFFBATT : N/A STATFLAG : 0x02000008 Status Flag MANDATE : 2002-12-02 SERIALNO : QB0249360043 BATTDATE : 2000-00-00 NOMBATTV : 12.0 FIRMWARE : 02.n2.D USB FW:n2 APCMODEL : Back-UPS ES 725 END APC : Sat SOMETIME 2005
To fully test your setup:
- Change
1in the
- Remove wall power from the UPS.
- Observe that your Linux box powers down, in short order.
- Plug the UPS back into the wall.
- Power on your Linux box.
- Change
1back to
0in the
When everything is ok, all that's left to do is enable the
apcupsd service.
Hibernating instead of shutting down
You can make your system hibernate instead of shutting down. First, make sure the system hibernates cleanly. To set up hibernation, look here.
Create the hibernate script
Create this in
/usr/local/bin/hibernate as root:
#!/bin/bash # Hibernate the system - designed to be called via symlink from /etc/apcupsd # directory in case of apcupsd initiating a shutdown/reboot. Can also be used # interactively or from any script to cause a hibernate. # Do the hibernate /usr/bin/systemctl hibernate # At this point system should be hibernated - when it comes back, we resume this script here # On resume, tell controlling script (/etc/apcupsd/apccontrol) NOT to continue with default action (i.e. shutdown). exit 99
Make it executable by running:
# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/hibernate
Link the hibernate script for apcupsd to use it
Create a symbolic link from the
/etc/apcupsd directory to the script. The result is the apcupd's apccontrol script, in this directory, will call the hibernate script instead of doing the default shutdown action for these operations.
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/hibernate /etc/apcupsd/doshutdown
If you are running apcupsd as a client to another machine running apcupsd as a server and want your machine to hibernate if the sever is shutdown or if communication to the server is lost then you may also wish to add:
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/hibernate /etc/apcupsd/remotedown
Make apcupsd kill UPS power once the hibernate is done
Once the PC has hibernated successfully, it's better for the UPS to be switched off in order to conserver battery charge, and prevent full battery drain. This can be achieved very easily! Create a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/99apc and put the following contents in it
#!/bin/bash case $1 in hibernate) # See if this is a powerfail situation. # ***apcupsd*** if [ -f /etc/apcupsd/powerfail ]; then # ***apcupsd*** echo # ***apcupsd*** echo "APCUPSD will now power off the UPS" # ***apcupsd*** echo # ***apcupsd*** /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol killpower # ***apcupsd*** echo # ***apcupsd*** echo "Please ensure that the UPS has powered off before rebooting" # ***apcupsd*** echo "Otherwise, the UPS may cut the power during the reboot!!!" # ***apcupsd*** echo # ***apcupsd*** fi # ***apcupsd*** ;; esac
Make the script executable by doing:
# chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/99apc
Now you can test your setup.
The desktop environment will also sense the UPS if connected by USB cable
For example, the default KDE setting is to put the computer in sleep if it has been on UPS battery for more than 10 minutes and the mouse has not moved. On many computers this causes a crash. This can be changed from KDE System Settings->Power Management->On battery.

Not one, but over the past few years I have tended to focus on a narrow group of wines for a few weeks/months and then switch to the next region on my rotation. But overall I guess that rotation is pretty focused.
For white wine, it's pretty much German riesling or Loire chenin. For red wine, it's Beaujolais (mainly Morgon), Northern Rhone syrah (plus ESJ), and red Burgundy. But among those three, red Burgundy probably gets the least attention because of price.

Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - Samantha O'Keefe tallied the game's last two goals during a 10.7-second span in the final 43 seconds of action, leading the fifth-seeded MIT women's lacrosse team to its first New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament win, edging fourth seed and host Wheaton College, 13-12, in the first round on Wednesday.
The Lyons finished their season at 7-10, while the 5-7 Engineers, who hadn't advanced to a conference tournament semifinal since 1995, will travel to nationally-ranked Babson College to take on the top-seeded Beavers on Saturday at 12:00 p.m.
A trio of 3-0 spurts, two by the hosts and one by MIT, pushed Wheaton out to a 6-3 advantage 17:56 into play, as Sara Dimick and Meredith Hurd scored twice apiece. Trailing 7-4 with under three minutes to play before the break, the Engineers strung together three quick goals in 2:31 to knot the contest heading into the half. Casey Flynn converted a feed from Erica Little to start the spurt as Molly McCartin and Laura Watson found the back of the net at with 1:31 and 12 seconds remaining, respectively.
The Lyons began the second stanza with two goals over the first 10:43 of action, but Flynn connected on a feed from Kelly Duncan at 15:38 to cut the gap to one. Caitlin Grant and Hurd notched goals 1:15 apart to extend the Wheaton lead to 11-8 before MIT rallied with three straight goals and five of the game's final six. Flynn earned back-to-back assists on goals by Little and Stephanie Brenman while Little evened the contest at 11 with 5:48 on the clock. Exactly 2:50 later, Dimick gave the Lyons the lead for the last time.
Dimick, Grant and Hurd each finished with a hat trick, with Dimick also assisting a goal, while Madeline Williams added a tally and an assist. Freshman goalie Annalisa Carson was solid between the pipes with 14 saves.
O'Keefe led all scorers with four goals to go alongside one assist, while Flynn finished with five points on two tallies and a trio of helpers. Little had a hat trick and one assist as Watson posted five draw controls, three groundballs, three caused turnovers, and two goals. In net, Monique Squiers made four saves.

Regardless of the outcome of today's Super Bowl, it won't be a defining upset in the way the New York Jets' stunner over the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III.
Of course, that was the Joe Namath Super Bowl, the one in which unfortunately Johnny Unitas didn't make an appearance until it was too late. Namath played a brilliant game that eventually carried him to the Hall of Fame. Without that victory, I don't know if Namath makes it to Canton.
The Jets' victory over the Colts is arguably one of sports' greatest upsets. Several months later there was another, courtesy of another New York team, when the Mets stunned the Orioles in five games in the 1969 World Series.
As the Colts were overwhelming favorites, so too were the Orioles. Both, were stuffed.
So, which was the more surprising? Which was the most significant?
The Mets' championship was harder to attain because they had to overcome a supposed superior opponent four times instead of once.
In one game, anything can happen, like the Colts throwing four interceptions and Earl Morrall not seeing a wide-open Jimmy Orr at the end of the first half. If one or two plays had been different, the Colts might have prevailed.
Given a football game can change on one or two plays, in retrospect the Jets' victory is more easily comprehendible than it was in the hours after final gun in the Orange Bowl.
Sure, the odds were long, but throughout history – in all sports – teams have played the perfect game to orchestrate upsets in all sports.
However, in looking at the Mets, they won 100 games that season, so while their first trip to the playoffs was surprising, they were not a fluke team. By the time they overtook the Chicago Cubs, there was an inkling this was going to be a special team.
The 1969 Mets had one of history's greatest pitching staffs, won their division going away and crushed Atlanta in the playoffs. Then, they dismissed the Orioles in five games, shutting down a crushing offense with Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman, and an array of clutch offensive performers – Donn Clendenon for one – and defensive gems – Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda.
Clearly, the Jets' victory was the most significant as it drove the merger between the established NFL and the AFL. The Jets' victory might also have been the most stunning because they needed to catch lightning in a bottle to upset a superior opponent.
But, the Mets, while their title was an upset, in hindsight they were a lot better than history might remember them.
