This is the most suitable for the western districts or for the foothills of north Bengal. Rivers of interest are the Kansabati, Kumari, Silabati, Bandu, their tributaries and similar many in the Himalayan foothills. There is a need to build at least 100 such structures in the western districts. A river can be stopped by a wall (masonry or steel) upto say about 10 ft. height to create a pool of water within the river itself. If such walls are further raised it will inundate some surrounding areas also to create a bigger lake. A series of such structures can be built on a river. However, hydraulic failure of the structure because of unknown porosity around the structure (causing leakage of water) is a point of concern. Proper maintenance through regular desilting of lakes, prevention of vector borne diseases like malaria and other measures have to be an integral part of any work causing impoundment of water.
Monsoon excess flow of water is to be diverted away from a river – while in spate - by gravity, for collection in natural – but mostly constructed- depressions near the river. NREGA convergence is essential and participation of P&RDD in the matter of land acquisition is vital for success in all types of source creation. Structures can also be built in suitable terrains to act both as a check dam in the summers, a contour bund in the monsoons and also as a diversion structure active in the peak monsoons.
There are many ponds in the arid regions which run dry almost throughout the year. These need to be developed by watershed management. This is basically an arrangement to increase the area of catchment, which may be to construct a ring 'aal'' at a distance from the pond. There needs to be some open unencumbered area around the pond. The pond may also be lined by brick or mud to reduce seepage. At least 5000 ponds may qualify for such action in the water - scarce districts.
In most rivers where the bed is composed of sand of some reasonable thickness, there will be some water moving within the sand bed, even if water is not showing at the top, as is the case of most rivers except those in the southern part of south Bengal. It is an established practice with the PHE directorate to abstract this water by various structures. River bed vertical tubewells are the easiest to install. They pierce the sand and draw water only from within the saturated bed. But these tubewells are prone to damage due to impact from floating debris like tree trunks in the floods. Horizontal strainers ("infiltration galleries") under the bed are more durable and draw more volume of water per unit length of strainer. They should be preferred over vertical tubewells in most cases in spite of higher initial cost.
The collector well once was a structure of choice for all the large schemes. The disadvantages are high cost per unit volume of water, expertise required in design and construction and time taken for implementation. Above infiltration galleries will always be a better option in such cases.
Though it should be the long- term objective of a state to move away from sole use of ground water and to prefer conjunctive use with surface water, there will be occasions when use of groundwater will become unavoidable due to techno-economic considerations. But conventional tubewells, big dia. or small, are not truly sustainable structures. The time - tested shallow aquifer ring wells common in villages, where lifting is made by rope and bucket, must be additionally explored in suitable areas where groundwater quality is right. Conventional pumps or windmills may be deployed for lifting.
Groundwater contamination due to arsenic, fluorides, iron and salinity is common in West Bengal. The removal techniques are expensive to operate. It is necessary to study availability of cheaper and sustainable technologies. There have been thorough studies on arsenic removal, and fluoride removal techniques are also progressing to finalization. Standard techniques are already available for iron removal. Salinity is a more difficult proposition, however, to handle. The main options may be reverse osmosis for small to large schemes and various strains of thermal distillation for very large schemes. Sea water has to be sourced in the near future for big schemes in the coastal areas. Innovative techniques and contracting models will have to be roped in.
It is a popular option in both the excess rainfall areas and the scanty rainfall areas outside of West Bengal. In this state it has been tried in good numbers only in the hills of Darjeeling. The main reason it has not been tried in large scale in the arid districts is the availability of some kind of a source, however rudimentary or quality- affected they may be; and the emphasis of the Govt. departments on creating conventional sources only. Such structures can be used both for human consumption and recharge of the groundwater. But they are also vulnerable to quality as long term storages are involved. Per capita cost is also higher than conventional modes. Sufficient care must also be taken in not contaminating an aquifer when recharging is done using rain water.
The last but not the least, the most comprehensive and sustainable system is going to be the State Water Grid and should find a place in the State Water Policy, as in some states. Though it is something that is still some years away, the time for advance planning is already upon the departments. This grid will serve the areas which are predominantly tubewell dependent or where surface sources cannot be conveniently created. Agricultural demand will increase with time and a considerable part of it will continue to be satisfied by groundwater because of absence or creation of alternative sources. Rainwater alone has not been able to sustain paddy cultivation, particularly Boro. Alternative cropping, changing agricultural calendar, and other palliative measures will hopefully be introduced gradually by the agricultural sector, but not sufficiently to prevent escalation of groundwater use. It is therefore necessary to isolate domestic demand from groundwater sources.
This grid may be a large dia. pipe network drawing water from various large sources like the Farakka Barrage, Teesta Barrage, Mahananda Barrage, DVC and the others. Domestic and industrial demand shall have to be satisfied by this grid and for which a 75 years' time horizon may be contemplated. This is similar to inter- basin water transfer but with lower hazards. The downside is power consumption and renewable energy may be a valid parallel option. The capital cost will be high and sharing of industrial and domestic demands will make it more cost efficient.
The P.H.E. Department has decided that solar power will be deployed for running piped water supply schemes wherever feasible as grid electricity consumes depleting natural resources and should be avoided. Amongst different renewable energy options, solar power stands out as the most available and viable alternative. The initial cost is somewhat higher than obtaining service connection from grid power departments for small schemes, but it has the advantage of being available everywhere and the cost pays out in a few years as very little operation & maintenance costs are involved.
However, this technology is based on solar chips which are mostly imported from abroad. Thus, the availability of quality power producing units in a big number is an issue. But it is expected that the production capacity of the national manufacturers will improve as Govt. of India has provided various facilities to the manufacturers.
Wind power, though it is a feasible alternative, is still at infancy in India because of the various operational problems associated with wind turbines. Ideally, wind turbines are the most suitable for the coastal regions because of the high wind velocity available. Combined with solar, the wind power should be the ideal source of power because power supply can be maintained all through the day and night which may be crucial in some applications.
Ground water in most of West Bengal is affected by contamination such as arsenic, fluoride, salinity and iron, apart from microbial contamination, which is induced by a temporary contamination. The menace of arsenic contamination is getting under control and the state is likely to become arsenic free in another couple of years. Some action for fluoride areas was taken in the past and schemes implemented in several districts. Recently, following a GoI guideline, PHED has been laying a greater emphasis on fluoride contamination by planning more and more piped water supply schemes most of which will start getting implemented in the middle of the next financial year. Salinity similarly is another issue which is difficult to get rid of in an economical manner particularly where fresh water is not available in the nature.
For removal of arsenic, fluoride and salinity, treatment of raw water before supplying to the community is a common option. Such treatment is not sustainable in terms of cost but the issue being drinking water the state has to opt for the same in many areas.
Associated with treatment comes the management of the hazardous waste which comes as a by-product of treatment and which are slightly to extremely harmful for the environment. Arsenic sludge that is generated by an arsenic removal plant, fluoride treatment process and reverse osmosis plant rejects; all discharge hazardous wastes. These wastes have to be managed in a cost effective and time proven manner. The PHE Dept. has approved one environment-friendly arsenic treatment technique which will discharge no waste to the environment for a very long time. Such, and other innovations will add incremental steps to environment preservation and combating climate change.
The river water management plans such as Ganga Action Plan, Damodar Action Plan or the Mahananda Action Plan should provide against malfunction of treatment plants which allow untreated or undertreated wastes to flow back into the river and cause pollution. Similarly, effluent from the waste water treatment plants should not be discharged into the water bodies or rivers indiscriminately and strict monitoring mechanism should be in place.
No amount of water supply can be expected to fulfill the requirement of reducing the disease burden and increase in productivity unless quality of water is ensured. Presently, the PHE Department has about 118 water quality laboratories and the number of which is increasing with time. Out of 118, 80 are managed by the NGOs and the rest by PHE Department. For the PHE labs, the job has been outsourced to contractors who pay for the staff and receive due considerations from the directorate. The operations of the labs have been badly hit due to the continual absence of nearly half of the sample collectors, reportedly due to the unattractive remunerations fixed by the P&RDD. It is apparent that the tripartite programme of WQM&S run conjointly by the PHED, P&RDD and H&FW has not yet been a success. To introduce accountability, the nodal department PHED should be entrusted with the WQM&SP.
The surveillance of spot sources is expected to be carried out by the Panchayat& Rural Development Department, Govt. of West Bengal under the National Rural Drinking Water Programme guidelines published in April, 2009. There are monitoring units run both by the P&RDD and the PHED under UNICEF assistance. These units continually report microbial contamination in the spot sources in the villages; but the remedial actions, for which the P&RDD remains responsible, remain largely unaddressed though the PHED has placed the Sub-Asstt. Engineer, Mechanic and the Helper of each block with the BDOs. But water quality is the mandate for the PHED, which still remains answerable and people have high expectations from this department. If surveillance is to be managed by the PHED, it would be impossible to do so under the normal organizational setup. Some regional cells should be opened for controlling the monitoring and surveillance activities. The surveillance and monitoring of water quality should also have specific indicators related to health and nutritional status of the communities along the food safety parameters related to water quality. The cost may be entirely met out of the Support Fund of the GoI.
The PHE Department had some years back set up a Communication & Capacity Development Unit (CCDU). After the NRDWP was launched, the State Water & Sanitation Support Organisation (SWSSO) has been set up under the State Water & Sanitation Mission (SWSM) which is an umbrella organization comprising of all the stakeholder departments.
Handing over the decision making power to the community is the central theme running through the NRDWP guidelines. To be effective, the Village Water & Sanitation Committees (VWSC) are to be formed under District Water & Sanitation Mission (DWSM). Such formations have to be facilitated and guided by the SWSSO. The department has fallen behind and the work shall have to be started on war footing. Strengthening of the SWSSO by more appropriate technical personnel is necessary.
Officials and staff have to be trained both in the matter of engineering and administration to introduce a strong work culture and delivery of benefits of water supply. This may be through the SWSSO. Participation of more officers in Master of Engineering courses, foreign seminars and trainings, research and development must be encouraged.
The PHE Department has always been the first to move to the troubled spots in the events of disasters like drought, cyclone and flood. Such spirited participation is made in spite of the perennial shortage of officials and fund for such works. But to add teeth to the action, a disaster management cell has to be opened under the PHE Department headed by a chief engineer for managing disasters where water supply is a vital curative tool.
Unlike other commodities (like electricity), theft of water is still not regarded as a crime. Schemes after schemes are failing to deliver because of water theft which naturally was not budgeted for. Such thefts come in the shape of illegal water connection for drawing water into the premises which can be a dwelling unit or a commercial establishment. Such water is free and the quantum high as no house connection or usage charges is paid. In the past, the PHED had attempted to cut illegal connections but were faced with law and order situations resisting such disconnections. The police claim helplessness as laws to apprehend the wrongdoers do not exist. It is necessary to frame up acts and rules to prevent water theft.
The directorate is running short of officers and staff for many years. This has silently taken a heavy toll on output, work quality and cost economy. A thorough reorientation of the organizational structure with filling of posts is necessary. Promotion policies should take into account proper engineering education as the backbone of policies on personnel. Meritocracy should replace mediocracy.
The PHED has to implement works of about Rs. 21,125.00 crore in the next 9 years. A complete overhaul of the organizational structure is necessary. Foreign assistance, soft term lending, alternative contracting models, etc. that may have to be engaged will be achieved if the department is recast as a Board or similar institution, with complete autonomy on personnel, fund generation models and related policies.
Though it is stating the obvious, schemes must be implemented fast. The problems faced with land acquisition, electricity connection and timely funding delay schemes. Land may be allowed to be directly procured at market rates. The administrative stumbling blocks must be removed and task forces formed to get pending matters moving without any loss of time. Inter departmental co ordination leaves much to be desired and must be enhanced. Top level decisions in engineering and scientific matters must be left to the relevant professionals.
Providing safe and sustainable drinking water to schools all over West Bengal is another important sector where due attention is required and ensuring sustained drinking water supply in all rural schools is one of the important compliance that State Government is expected under the Right to Education Act, 2009. This would require very close monitoring of access, functioning of water source, its timely operation and maintenance and water quality of the source. There are over 90,000+ schools in rural areas that include primary, high schools, ShishuShiksha Kendra etc. PHED to consider having a dedicated cell and officer to coordinate and ensure water supply to all schools and related monitoring. This cell should be headed by senior official at least of the Executive Engineer rank.

Any regular at lunch places in Finland knows what to expect on Thursdays: pea soup is included on the menu. It looks thick and mushy, and, frankly, not all that appetising. However, this mundane dish boasts a grand pedigree. The secret behind its popularity lies in national traditions.
Pea soup goes way back in Finnish culinary history. According to Arja Hopsu-Neuvonen, development manager at Martat, a Finnish home economics organisation founded in 1899, pea soup may have played a part in Northern culinary circles as early as the Middle Ages.

David McGavock built Two Rivers Mansion for his wife Willie (Harding) in 1859, just prior to the Civil War. It is located on a hill where the family could oversee the 1100 acres of the estate. The home is named for the Cumberland and Stones Rivers which converge near the plantation.
The mansion is constructed of bricks that were made on the property and it features many architectural details classified as Italianate.
Two Rivers was continually occupied by McGavock family members until 1964, when Louise Bransford McGavock died. She specified that the property would trnasfer to Vanderbuilt University, which in turn sold the house and half of the acreage to the City of Nashville. This 1990 lithograph shows the structure is in excellent condition and is maintained by the Metropolitan Nashville Department of Parks and Recreation. Two Rivers Mansion is a popular location for weddings, receptions and parties.

When my Carden School teacher Miss James left for Canada to get married, she sent a letter and post card to me. This was in 1955 when I was 6 yrs old, I still have it 56 years on.
I remember walking to school in all weathers as there was no school run in those days. The area where Birchgrove flats are was waste ground then, as was the area at the bottom of Braybon Avenue, where the Roman Catholic church is now.
I moved from where I lived in Denton Drive over 40 years ago, but have happy memories of the area.

Why has Quidco only tracked £0.01p?
Found 8th Jan 2018
I booked a holiday with Jet2 and it says £25 cashback through Quidco. In the terms it does say may initially track at a lower rate until confirmed. So is this the reason why? I've only used cashback sites about 3 times so I don't have much experience on how things work. Thanks

Unicorn Financial Services / This company is a rip-off!
I had a large dental bill and my dentist offered Unicorn Financial Services as a means to pay it off. Unicorn's statement is that it is no interest financing as long as you make the payments on time...if not, the high interest rate of 24.75% will be charged from the beginning of the contract. I made 9 monthly payments on time with no problem and only had 3 more payments to make. I mailed my next payment well in advance, but Unicorn claims they never received it. It has now been more than a month and the envelope with my payment has not been returned to me by the U.S.P.S., so where is it? I have talked with a manager at Unicorn and his view is that I entered into the contract and did not follow through and now I must pay big time. My view is that I made my scheduled payment and I am being ripped off by Unicorn Financial Services!!! I was charged a late fee of $39.00 and informed I would now be charged the high interest rate from the beginning of the contract.
I think Unicorn plans on problems like this to make their money. They do not offer any way to make your payments on-line or have it taken directly from your checking account or credit card. Now I see why!!! In my 60 years of life I have never dealt with a company like this. The saying "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is" certainly applies to Unicorn Financial Services.
I have contacted my state Attorney General and will be contacting the BBB and my state legislators. I will also be contacting my dentist and advise him to quit offering the services of Unicorn Financial Services.
I urge everyone to take caution with companies like this.

Home for Christmas
Melissa McClone
This book can be downloaded and read in Apple Books on your Mac or iOS device.
Ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon...the smells of Christmas. The smells of home.
Rachel Murphy longs for home and family. Since childhood, she's dreamed of owning her own pastry shop, but after being burned by a celebrity chef and losing her lease in Arizona, Rachel's spending the holidays with her brother in Montana. To keep her dream alive, she's creating custom gingerbread houses and selling them around town. All she needs is a bigger kitchen...and to stay away from her brother's handsome boss.
Former venture capitalist Nate Vaughn has embraced his inner cowboy and now runs a successful dude ranch where Rachel's brother works. Nate's commercial kitchen is perfect for Rachel's baking needs, and seeing the cute blonde's business acumen, Nate knows she'd be the perfect partner for a new business. When he makes her an offer she can't refuse, he discovers he's interested in more than her gingerbread.
While Nate could make her dreams come true, Rachel's heart, as well as her head, tells her mixing business with anything else could be a recipe for disaster. Should she return to Arizona, and leave Nate and her new eager-for-more customers behind? Or can Nate convince her that, here with him in the mountains of Montana, she's already home? For Christmas...forever.

With the implementation of 'Chinese football reform plan' from 2015,the construction of football stadium will boom. But football matches are often affected by strong wind. When against the wind or wind speed is too fast, football trajectory and speed will be affected while the judgment and athletes physical strength will decline. The primary intention of this research is to reveal the relationship between field wind environment and canopy shape. Firstly, this article investigates differences between football Stadium and comprehensive stadium, and classifies the football Stadium canopies into three types. Then builds a research model, sets climatic conditions in Beijing as typical boundary conditions, explores different canopy shape effects on field wind environment performance using CFD simulation. Finally puts forward football stadium wind environment optimization design strategies through systematic analysis. The research will deepen the design theory of football stadium, and it is of far-reaching practical significance to football stadium construction and windbreak renovation in the gale area .

Since I just returned from visiting Uganda, I finally felt motivated enough to pick up a book I've been wanting to read for the past year. It's called 'A Distant Grief' and is an account by Kefa Sempangi about how Christians were killed and martyred during the reign of terror by Idi Amin in the 1970's.
I have to admit I'd never read about the terror of Amin and the gruesome killings carried out on his behalf, though I'd been exposed to them Hollywood-style while watching 'The Last King of Scotland'. This book made me shudder. And I came to agree with Sempangi that Amin's vicious and brutal killings took on a demonic quality (Eph 6: 12) .
The trauma inflicted on Ugandan Christians was almost indescribable. Often Amin and his henchmen brutally tortured their victims, cutting off limbs or genitals, and then gloating over them as they bled to death in agony. (And it was sobering for me to realize that many were killed in what was Makindye Prison, a collection of buildings located just several blocks away from the American club in Kampala where I have stayed on a few occasions.) Amin's brutality was frighteningly systematic and in 3 months, 90,000 Ugandans disappeared. Truly horrific stuff.
In the face of all of this, what was so convicting was that as Sempangi's Redeemed Church of God, which he founded along with several friends, swelled to 14,000 strong, they no longer began to ask new converts "Do you believe in Jesus?". Instead it became, "Are you ready to die for Jesus?". And this didn't mean die euphemistically speaking. This meant : Are you ready to give up your life on this earth for Jesus, the way he gave up his earthly life for you? Amazingly, over and over again, the answer was a resounding 'yes'. And yet this was not theoretical. Some of those who declared this in the affirmative were subsequently and brutally killed for their faith.
Reading this made me think about my life here in New York City. Am I ready to die for Jesus? Am I really ready to die for Jesus? I hope I am, though I can't say I have yet been fully tested. And while it may not mean becoming a martyr literally for the sake of the gospel – though of course at some point it could – surely dying for Jesus at least means being roused from my safe, comfortable , and relatively risk-free life here. And being ready to move out of that which is predictable and known to live instead with a quiet but ever trusting heart and open hands, while heeding God's call.

Discussion in 'polls' started by ReverseGear, Oct 30, 2011.
Which one among these is the best chromium variant ?
Best variant of Chromium?
Google Chrome
Chrome is undoubtedly the most stable, other than that I'd go for Iron for a variety of reasons.
What's the "other"?
Other if i have missed any of the variant
I like Chromium best as I think it is the most stable. Google releases updates and upgrades of Chrome so fast that it is virtually useless in a business environment. But it seems meant for the general public anyway. I've been using an old version of Chromium for a while but I wish there was some sort of updater just for the super stable updates and I wish there was a way to make Chromium my default browser. Anyone know how?
Google Chrome. Google knows that code better than anyone and they're very capable of rolling out upgrades and I really like the built in Flash.
I'd probably use Chromium if not for the Flash.
Google Chrome all the way!!!
Back to srware...chrome lags on some pages for me
I like and use Chromium, though it does come with bugs sometimes. Like in the last few weeks it's been showing some weird settings and symbols in the download window had to revert back to an old release
chrome because i don't have to update the bloody Flash Player.
Comodo Dragon here.
Of course BlackHawk Web Browser by Netgate (the same as FortKnox Firewall)...enough nice, fast, light
RockMelt (made mainly for Facebook and other "social-sites")
Never heard of blackhawk b4..but had used rockmelt before but forgot to add it in the poll..good thing i added others option...
Rockmelt is good
Pure Chromium ftw.
Yes it happens with the last two updates of Chrome Dev too. And not only in the downloads window, here's what i get when i come to Wilders
LOL, i'm still waiting for a "stable" (Can we even call Chromium stable HAHAHA) build of Chromium
I'm using a build back from October 20's (Forgot exact date)
Chrome 17 introduced that. It may be an Adblock Plus bug though.
I mainly just use Google Chrome. I may give straight up Chromium another shot though soon.
Do not try it as of now, as soon as you see that bug you will be scared away
It's annoying xD
What bug does it have?
There's a huge amount of text at the beginning of some pages upon the first load. Reloading removes it though. I haven't been getting it in a few days anyways.
Funny... I was at Softpedia's website and they link SRWare Iron to The Chromium Authors. This is clearly a mistake... or has anything changed since I last looked at SRWare Iron?
Separate names with a comma.

Morning ladies and gents,
I absolutely love this song by Big Daddy Weave. It's such an awesome reminder of our redemption in God. We're not our past. It's been paid for and erased through the blood of Jesus Christ. Check it out.
*Don't forget to recite the 10 declarations that you have for this week.
Prayer: God help me to rely on and adhere to you as Father. Lord show me that my faith and hope are centered and rest in You. Show me You as Father/Daddy today. You are the center of my life and I love you. Amen.

Maja and Brendan were wed at the Auberge Saint-Gabriel in Old Montreal on August 2nd. Friends and family gathered for a sweet, personal event which incorporated Polish traditions from Maja's side of the family. The couple brewed their own beer as take-home gifts for their guests. During the reception everyone was asked to create haiku poems about them and recite them at the microphone to replace the traditional clinking of wine glasses. I must say their guests were mighty creative in this department, forcing the bride and groom to kiss a few more times than they may have expected!
The two of them were such easygoing clients, and they created a beautiful event that I so enjoyed sharing in! All the best to the newlyweds 🙂

When a dog goes missing, that is an owner's worst nightmare. When the dog is found four days later with a bullet hole in her head, you have to ask: What's worse than a nightmare?
That's the situation that the owners of a 9-month-old Great Pyrenees named Nylah found themselves in when they recovered their dog. Except, at first, they assumed the wound on her was from a dog bite, but when they took her to Country Pet Hospital in Alpine, Calif., they were told it was something far worse.
Chamkaur S. Brar, DVM, owner of County Pet Hospital, looked over Nylah and immediately suspected it was a gunshot wound. However, the owners didn't believe him at first — until he showed them the X-rays. They determined that Nylah had been shot in the back of the head, with the bullet exiting out the front. Luckily, the bullet didn't go into her brain due to the angle it entered.
"The dog was lucky," Dr. Brar said in an interview with Veterinary Practice News. "The bullet fractured her skull, and it was just a few millimeters away from the brain."
Nylah underwent surgery to remove bullet fragments from her head, and was left with a large hole in her sinus cavity. Amazingly, however, she was able to go home the next day, and there have been no reports of further problems. Brar has yet to do a follow-up appointment with Nylah's owners to check for any signs of infection in the wound.
A GoFundMe page was started by a friend of Nylah's owners to pay for the costs of the surgery. Any remaining money will be used as a reward for information that could lead to the arrest of the person that shot her.


text: Golden Week train tickets than do the spring is also difficult to buy yesterday was the last day of the National Day holiday, China Railway Corporation released the relevant data, the railway transportation 10 day National Day golden week, the national railway is expected to send visitors 108 million passengers, an increase of 9.3%, a record high in the new National Day holiday transportation. Since September 30th, the national railway passenger volume over 8 consecutive days over ten million passengers. The selection of railway people travel during the National Day golden week, I could feel like this, golden week than the spring is also difficult to buy train tickets. Before there is information display, in the peak time of Golden Week travel and travel, some hot city train ticket regardless of high-speed rail or puglie, are all "no" Shuabing, tickets were all sold out. See the total release of iron data, it will be difficult to understand why tickets. Golden week, the national railway passenger volume for 8 consecutive days over ten million people, one-day return peak passenger volume of over 12 million people, what is this concept? The spring of 2016 a total of 40 days, the railway travel about 7000000 passengers daily, the peak day close to ten million. Through the comparison of figures is not difficult to find, the National Day Golden Week passenger density is far behind the spring, there will be difficult to understand the ticket. Golden week in the spring after the railway passenger flow away, still running selfishly. Since 2013, the railway department of the National Day golden week period of railway transportation is defined as the day before and after a total of 10 days, statistics show that in recent years the annual national railway passenger volume during the golden week has increased by about 10%, at the same time, every single day railway passenger volume also continues to record high. In recent years, China has gradually opened a number of high-speed rail, while the National Day holiday for the rapid growth of passenger traffic, the railway sector has also increased investment, but compared to the golden week during the passenger blowout, rail capacity is still insufficient. Difficult to buy the golden week train tickets, the situation is expected to exist for a long time. The train ticket to buy more than the Spring Festival, is only a partial reflection of the golden week passenger intensive travel. During the National Day Golden Week travel flow, flow and other forms of superposition of the formation of railway passenger traffic, in the last year, about 750 million people, this year's specific data has not been released, it is estimated that only a lot more. A more intuitive and more difficult than the spectacular display of the golden week passenger flow, is the recent heat transfer network an aerial photograph in a highway toll station, a dense array of vehicles like the computer like encoding head dizziness. Whether it is difficult to buy tickets or vehicles such as coding, these phenomena reflect the nature of the problem is how to arrange our holiday system. If the Spring Festival, the global rare population floating is affected by traditional culture, its formation has a strong rigid demand, then the passenger blowout of the National Day Golden Week holiday is mainly caused by system arrangement. The implementation of the golden week system has been 18 years in our country, due to overload of passenger tickets difficult, it is difficult to travel and tourist attractions are overcrowded, these problems caused the abolition of the golden week. However, each expert proposal to cancel the golden week, immediately led to widespread public opposition, the reason is very simple, the system is difficult to implement paid leave reality, cancel the golden week will undoubtedly infringe the majority of people leave entitlements. Golden week the disadvantages, but.相关的主题文章:

Rio de Janeiro: Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal on Saturday criticised the Rio Open match schedule after reaching the tournament's semi-finals with a 4-6, 7-5, 6-0 victory over Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas.
The duel finished at 3.21 a.m. Saturday after all of Friday's five centre court matches went to three sets, reports Xinhua.
"No tennis tournament should end at this time. It's tough for the players but maybe worse for the fans. It's very bad on the part of the ATP. It's not the tournament's fault. It was the ATP that didn't want to reschedule a match. If it's a Grand Slam you have a day to rest. It's seems like a terrible error to me," the 28-year-old said.
It was the second-latest end to a non-Grand Slam match, just shy of the 3.24 a.m. record set in Tokyo in 2006.
Top seed Nadal will have little time to recover before facing Italy's Fabio Fognini in Saturday's semi-final.
In other matches Friday, Spain's David Ferrer overcame Juan Monaco of Argentina 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, Austria's Andreas Haider Maurer beat Brazil's Joao Souza 7-6(4), 1-6, 6-4 and Fognini outlasted Federico Delbonis of Argentina 6-4, 6-7(10), 7-6 (9).
In the women's draw, Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia retired in the third set as top seeded Sara Errani of Italy progressed to the last four. Haddad Maia won the first set before abandoning the match due to cramps while trailing 3-6, 7-6(2), 3-0.
Sweden's Johanna Larsson defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier of Germany 6-4, 6-0, Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu swept aside Julie Glushko of Israel 6-1, 6-2 and Slovakia's Anna Schmiedlova beat Paraguay's Veronica Cepede Royg 6-3, 6-1.

This is a challenge that has SO many possibilities! I may just make a little challenge for myself later on with "game" manis...
I wasn't quite ready to say farewell to Annalicious, so that helped me narrow down my choices. Today I went with a video game (here comes my no-so-inner nerd):
*1 coat Yello-Out
*2 coats Cult Nails Annalicious
*Sinful Colors Snow Me White
*Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out
*1 coat Out The Door
I'm actually really pleased with how these little Pokeballs turned out! I made Annalicious my base because Snow Me White is really opaque. After painting the nails red I freehanded the bottom half white because I didn't need a perfectly crisp line. I used a small paint brush and Black Out to draw on the stripe. Then, with the largest dotting tool I have, I added a black and white dot in the center. Pretty easy!
I wish I were less embarrassed of my love of these little digital guys so I could wear these longer. They really did turn out much better than I imagined them, which is not typically the case when I try out some nail art. Alas, I need to at least pretend I'm a grown up! Do you still have some secret kid loves? Things you'll just never outgrow?

Report on DevSecOps in our Organization
You are a solutions architect for the company, KidsBuyNow, which is a fairly new (2 years old) e-commerce company specializing in kids clothing and toys. This is a very competitive environment and your CEO wants to greatly expand the customer base, capitalizing on the bankruptcy of KidsRUs and ToysRuS.
Over the past year you have migrated many of the IT resources to the cloud (see attached). This is a multi-cloud environment with four major components:
- HQ: the company still runs an internal data center which hosts the company's ERP system, including all the company's financial data.
- Amazon Cloud: customer facing applications such as the company catalog and the e-commerce actions. Inventory is also stored on the Amazon site and is accessible by the company suppliers such as Hasbro
- IBM Cloud, where the company's data mining activities are housed, using tools such as IBM Watson
- Microsoft Azure Cloud including the company's administrative systems using Office 365 and SharePoint (including documents which include the company's intellectual property).
You have been implementing DevOps but there have been a few security issues. The CIO is concerned about the company's reputation if data breaches and has asked you to prepare a report that address this.
This repot should include the following:
- Describe the different components of the IT infrastructure and what advantages does each cloud provider have for the company
- Discuss the value of DevOps in this environment (at least 3 references to sites that recommend DevOps)
- A description of all the security devices that are part of the solution and how they protect the company (e.g., firewall, routers)
- Discuss DevSecOps as the next project for your team, explain what it means, and how it will improve the company's security (at least 3 links to sites that recommend DevSecOps and 2 companies that are using it)
- A summary of how you are continuing to poise the company for a sudden growth in sales as ToysRUs declares bankruptcy.
This is a formal report, with a cover page, an automatically generated table of contents, and at least 4 pages of text (you may include relevant graphics). The report is for the CEO who does not have a strong technical background and so should avoid too much jargon. To overcome this, add a glossary at the end of the report including at least 6 technical terms you have used in your report.
You also need to include a cover letter to the CEO (Jennifer Jones)
Note the Amazon router is also a load balancer

Jason R. Pickholz was one of the first lawyers to win an SEC whistleblower award for a client. He was also the first lawyer ever to successfully convince the Securities and Exchange Commission to grant his client an SEC whistleblower award over an initial recommendation by its staff to deny any award. This was the first time in the history of the SEC Whistleblower Program that the Commission overruled an adverse Preliminary Determination by its Claims Review Staff. (See official SEC Award here.) Inside Counsel Magazine named this as one of the "Five milestones in the Dodd-Frank whistleblower reward program".
As an SEC whistleblower lawyer, Mr. Pickholz has represented employees, officers, directors, and others in cases involving broker-dealers, investment advisors, financial institutions, and public companies listed in the Fortune Top 10, Top 20, Top 50, Top 100, and Top 500, and the Forbes Global 2000.
Mr. Pickholz is a co-author of the two-volume book, Securities Crimes, published by leading legal publisher Thomson Reuters, and is the sole author of the book's 115 page chapter on "The SEC Whistleblower Award Program".
He is also the creator of SECWhistleblowerInformation.com, the authoritative on-line encyclopedia about the SEC whistleblower program.
Among his many speaking engagements, Mr. Pickholz has been a guest on Fox Business News, BBC News, and Bloomberg Radio; taught continuing education courses for lawyers such as "When The Whistle Blows" and "Incentives and Protections for the Modern Whistleblower"; chaired a program before an international audience where he spoke on "The SEC Whistleblower's Perspective"; and was invited by a leading university to teach a lecture on SEC whistleblowers and white collar crime titled "When Bad Things Happen To Good People".
For over 23 years, Mr. Pickholz has been representing clients before the SEC and other government and regulatory agencies. In addition to SEC whistleblowers, Mr. Pickholz has represented clients before the SEC, U.S. Attorney's offices, the U.S. Department of Justice, state authorities including the Manhattan District Attorney's office and the New York Attorney General's office, FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations, FinCen (the U.S. Treasury Department), the Internal Revenue Service, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Among his other notable cases, Mr. Pickholz was counsel in the first anti-money laundering case brought by FinCen and the NYSE together against an NYSE member firm, was counsel in the first disciplinary case brought by FINRA, and was counsel in two cases that Crain's New York Business referred to as among the largest stock fraud cases of the early 21st century involving New York-based companies.
Prior to founding The Pickholz Law Offices, Mr. Pickholz was a partner at two different national law firms. He began his career as a law clerk to the Honorable Kevin Thomas Duffy, United States District Court Judge for the Southern District of New York. He obtained his J.D. degree from NYU School of Law, and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Colgate University.
In recognition of his achievements, in 2015 Mr. Pickholz was nominated by his peers and elected as a Fellow of the New York Bar Foundation, an honor that is granted to just 1% of the 74,000 lawyers in the New York State Bar Association.
You can contact Mr. Pickholz by calling 347-746-1222. Your initial consultation of up to one hour is free of charge.
