The trailing script is being coded. Thank you all for your warm, magnificent support and willing...
I have another interesting announcement to make for the guys over (at least 10 btc)...
I am now testing high risk high pace daily investing program and I am shooting to double their portfolio in a month. Should I succeed, I'll let you know. I formed a small group, to test it so far we had one trade 5%, one trade 10% one trade yesterday 25%+10%
So far no losses.
However, some will occur it's normal.
The aim is to make more than you lose :)
I am tweaking it now and working closely with the 5 Lions - testing it and fine tuning.
Findings from this group will help me identify ways that are more profitable across all groups - and form one elite signalling team that is as close to our personal funds management as possible.
Just higher paced, higher risk - let's think of it as how I invest personally when I don't do stupid things.
It's called the D-man's Lions program. And the waitlist already started. If you're interested, let me know at @unicornmaster - as soon as I have some confidence I can make it worth your investment and making you happy along the way - I'll let the new users join.
This is our new addition.
Also - we hired a new trader - a brilliant guy - yesterday's 45% profit - was his work! #respect

Who on Earth 2.0 is … Ward Cunningham?
September 22, 2010
'Ward' (Howard G.) Cunningham is the guy who came up with the first wiki ,which was launched in 1995. Wikis are software that allow people to create and edit webpage content – 'open source/crowd editing' if you like. The name comes from the Hawaiian for 'fast' because Ward's idea was that pages could be edited quickly. Everybody has heard of Wikipedia, probably the most successful/famous/etc example of the use of wikis allowing anybody to contribute and edit articles involving a startlingly 'organic' and democratic degree of self-regulation.

Fracture conductivity in shale formations can be greatly reduced because of water/rock interactions depending on the properties of formation rock and reservoir/fracture fluids. The mechanisms of water damage to fracture conductivity include clay swelling, surface softening, excessive proppant embedment, and fines migration caused by fracture-surface spalling and failed proppant particles. Fracture conductivity is influenced by closure stress, bulk and surface rock mechanical properties, fracture-surface topography, fracture-surface elemental composition, rock mineralogy, and proppant type and concentration, among other factors. This paper presents a study considering several of the aforementioned factors, centered primarily on saline-water-induced fracture-conductivity impairment of the Eagle Ford Shale Formation and its five vertical lithostratigraphic units.
Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate and quantify the effect of flowback water on fracture conductivity for samples of Eagle Ford Shale. The majority of test samples were obtained from an outcrop in Antonio Creek, Terrell County, Texas, while the remaining samples were obtained from downhole core provided by an industry partner. The different lithostratigraphic units present in the Eagle Ford Shale formation were accounted for. Saline water with a chemical composition similar to that of the typical field flowback water was used.
Fracture-conductivity measurements were conducted in three stages. In the first stage, dry nitrogen was flowed to ascertain the undamaged initial fracture conductivity. In the second stage, the saline solution was injected into the fracture until steady-state behavior was observed. In the third and final stage, dry nitrogen was once again flowed to quantify the recovered fracture conductivity. Reported mechanical properties from the same outcrop-rock samples, consisting of Poisson's ratio and the Brinell hardness number (BHN), were considered in this study. In addition, reported mineralogy obtained by use of X-ray-diffraction (XRD) microscopy was taken into consideration. The elemental composition along the fracture surface was obtained by use of X-ray-fluorescence (XRF) microscopy, and fracture-surface topography was obtained by use of a laser surface scanner and profilometer.
Results support findings that bulk and surface mechanical properties influence fracture conductivity, as well as surface topography and related attributes such as fracture surface area. Furthermore, the bulk mineralogical composition of the rock and the elemental composition of the rock fracture surface have a significant effect on fracture conductivity when flowing saline water to simulate flowback. Clay content was observed to directly influence fracture conductivity. The results of this study show a loss of fracture conductivity for the Eagle Ford Formation ranging from approximately 4 to 25% after flowing saline water, compared with the initial conductivity measured by flowing dry nitrogen before saline-water exposure. This is not a large loss in conductivity caused by water damage, and suggests that water damage may not be the major cause of the large early decline rates observed in most Eagle Ford Shale producing wells.

LIVE music and hilarious pranks are in store for audiences at The Hexagon next year - as children's favourite comic characters Dennis and Gnasher are brought to life on stage.
Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed! The Musical will delight the crowds in Reading from March 3 to 7, 2020.
The musical, based on the legendary comic characters and the number one animated CBBC series, tells the story of the mischievous twosome and their best friends the Dinmakers; Rubi, JJ and Pieface.
Their mission is to save Beanotown from the grips of the evil W Corps.
Featuring live music, hilarious pranks, and of course, Dennis' trademark skateboard, this brand new, high-octane, blamtastic family musical is perfect for pranksters young and old.
The musical is being brought forward by Selladoor Family in partnership with Beano Studios and is written and directed by Will Brenton.
Dennis and Gnasher - previously titled Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, and originally titled Dennis the Menace - is a long-running comic strip in the British children's comic The Beano, having first appeared in issue 452 in March 1951.
The comic stars a boy named Dennis the Menace and his Abyssinian wire-haired tripe hound Gnasher.
The idea and name of the character emerged when The Beano editor George Moonie reportedly heard a British music hall song with the chorus "I'm Dennis the Menace from Venice".
Dennis and Gnasher Unleashed! began on CBBC on November 6, 2017, and is the third animated adaption of the strip after Dennis and Gnasher and Dennis the Menace and Gnasher.
The musical comes to The Hexagon in Queens Walk, Reading, in 2020.
Tickets range in price from £20.50 to £29.50.
Go to www.readingarts.com/hexagon to buy or call the box office on 0118 960 6060.

Time of faceless points of sale of cars passed. Showrooms become important attribute of an auto brand, representing the ideas put in it and values, showing to consumers its originality. For the solution of this task car makers develop the uniform corporate standards regulating to dealers worldwide rules of registration of motor shows with use of unique furniture decisions.
For exact reproduction of the RENAULT standards design decisions were worked out and adapted, the package of drawings, technical documentation was prepared and new technologies in production of furniture were mastered. For example, use unusual "ecological linoleum" - marmoleum. It is made only from environmentally friendly natural raw materials: linseed oil, wood flour, natural pitches, limestone, natural color pigments. The basis of this covering is served by a strong jute cloth. The superficial covering protects a surface of a marmoleum from scratches and wear, and also considerably facilitates cleaning and servicing. In furniture of Renault marmoleum dark grey color it is applied on a number of surfaces of white furniture.

Mother's Applesauce Muffins
We have had these a few times now and the kids (even the ones that say "I hate Applesauce Muffins") really love them.
The wet ingredients.
The dry.
On a post named Recipe Storage I showed you several of the ways that I keep recipes. But you know you never can have too many recipes. Out of all those recipes I didn't have one for Applesauce Muffins. An I don't know if you remember but I have a ton of Applesauce. So I went on my very favorite Recipe site, Taste of Home.
Fresh from the oven.
You can find the recipe here.
I like nuts and so before I put them into the oven I poked a few nuts in to 2-3 for myself. Hope you try them and enjoy.

Lk 1:39-56
Mary then set out for a town in the hill country of Judah. She entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt in her womb. Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, giving a loud cry, said, "You are most blessed among women; and blessed is the fruit of your womb! How is it, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? The moment your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby within me suddenly leapt for joy. Blessed are you, who believed that the Lord's word would come true!"
And Mary said, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit exults in God, my savior! He has looked upon his servant, in her lowliness, and people, forever, will call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me, Holy is his Name! From age to age, his mercy extends to those who live in his presence. He has acted with power and done wonders, and scattered the proud with their plans. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up those who are downtrodden.
He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty. He held out his hand to Israel, his servant, for he remembered his mercy, even as he promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever."
Mary remained with Elizabeth about three months, and then returned home.
When the time came for Elizabeth, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the merciful Lord had done a wonderful thing for her, and they rejoiced with her.
When, on the eighth day, they came to attend the circumcision of the child, they wanted to name him Zechariah after his father.
The word "assumption" comes from the Latin verb "assumere," which means: to take up. And so, on today's feast we are celebrating the taking up of Mary into Heaven body and soul. In other words, we are celebrating the fact that Mary's body never experienced decay and was immediately glorified at the end of her earthly pilgrimage. And we rejoice over the fact that our Mother is glorified in her entire being. In this connection, two considerations come to mind.
The first is related to what was said yesterday about being "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses" (Heb 12:1). Mary is among that cloud of witnesses. She is marvelously close to us, closer than we could ever imagine. And she helps us in all possible ways on our journey Godward.
The second consideration is that this feast is also about our own future. For we, too, will one day be taken up into Heaven—though not with our present body, as in the case of Mary—and we will be given a new body, a glorified and spiritual body, which will be a marvel of sheer beauty. Mary's present glorification is an anticipation of what will one day happen to us.

Expect changes in the coming days from Canada's new Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.
Days after DFATD was finally created, perhaps the first visible change within the Canadian International Development Agency is announcing the mega-department on its website.
It's a first step, but the process of the CIDA-DFAIT "amalgamation" may go on for up to two years, according to the Canadian government.
"Over the coming months, all corporate services for the new amalgamated CIDA and DFAIT department will be merged to provide common systems and levels of service across the whole department," a CIDA spokesperson told Devex.
It is not yet clear whether the agency will appoint, for instance, one or two chief accountants for the former departments, and such a decision may greatly affect how CIDA and DFAIT operate on a daily basis without any disruption.
Crucial in the coming months are the appointments of officials who will head the mega-agency's corporate services: This can provide clues as to how the former CIDA will emerge equal in a department with a broad-reaching agenda.
Still on the planning table is how to combine programs and policies.
"Further planning is underway with regards to changes in the organizational structure, and horizontal methods of coordination and consultation for the geographic, program and policy groups in the new department," the CIDA spokesperson said. "These changes will allow the department to integrate advice, service and support across geography and themes."
During recent parliamenty hearings, CIDA and DFAIT officials said staffing issues would take time, as other countries with an integrated foreign affairs ministry have experienced.
"On the human resources side it will take a longer period of time to create one culture," Michael Small, assistant deputy minister at then DFAIT and a member of the transition team, told lawmakers last May. "You can send out some early signals and incentives on how you're going to create opportunities for people with development experience to do other kinds of work and encourage people who have political and trade experience to do development work."
CIDA has also been studying past experiences of countries which merged their development programs into the foreign affairs portfolio.
"While examples of other countries with integrated foreign affairs and development ministries have been looked at in detail, the structure of the new DFAIT is being designed to respond to Canadian values and priorities," explained the CIDA spokesperson.

Algeria are not used to losing at home; they haven't tasted defeat in their own backyard in over a decade. Burkina Faso will know the magnitude of the task that they face when they travel to Algeria for the second leg of their World Cup qualifier.
Burkina Faso will also be aware, though, that a draw will see them through to the World Cup in Brazil having won a tense first leg 3-2.
Algeria will bank on their tremendous record at the Mustapha Tchaker Stadium in Blida, where they are unbeaten for the last 19 matches - a mark that stretches way back to 2002.
The home side have been tipped to overcome Burkina Faso, owing to their brilliant record at home, but former Algeria skipper Antha Yahia has warned against taking the side, that recently went all the way to the African Cup of Nations final, for granted.
"Algeria will be the favourites to win going by their record against Burkina Faso -- this is what the media have suggested -- but the most important thing is really what happens on the pitch," Yahia was quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"Burkina Faso reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations this year and they have proved to be a very good team. They only need a draw to qualify and so it could be difficult for Algeria, who also need to be cautious when going forward."
The first leg was a controversial one wherein Burkina Faso won 3-2, after Algeria had fought back twice to make it 2-2, via a debatable penalty decision.
There will be a sense of injustice among the Algeria ranks and coach Vahid Halilhodzic said the need for a victory over Burkina Faso is as high as it's ever been. "I've never had such a desire to win as now," he said. "The defeat in the first leg in Ouagadougou really got to me. I hardly slept the following week."
Burkina Faso are chasing the dream of qualifying for their first ever World Cup, and if coach Paul Put can inspire his side to an improbable victory, then he will be a national hero, without doubt.
"Algeria are respected because they have a very good team, they have players who play in the major leagues, they have much more experience and have played in three World Cups, but in football anything is possible," he told dzfoot.com.
Where to Watch Live
The game is scheduled for a 7.15 pm local time (11.45 pm IST) start with no live coverage in India. To catch the action live streaming online through Bein Sport in the U.S. click HERE.

Currently, there are no validated methods to assess the metabolic effects of EDs. To address this unmet need and other gaps in the context of ED testing, the European Union has funded eight projects on the overarching topic 'New testing and screening methods to identify endocrine disrupting chemicals' within the Horizon 2020 (H2020) framework. One of these projects is EDCMET ('Metabolic effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals: novel testing METhods and adverse outcome pathways').
The objective of the EDCMET project is to develop validated in silico, in vitro and in vivo methods assessing metabolic effects of EDs, with a focus on energy and fat metabolism and nuclear receptors regulating these processes. Thorough understanding of the mechanisms leading to adverse metabolic effects of EDs is presently lacking. EDCMET will apply the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) paradigm to identify molecular initiating events (MIE) and predict the emergent adverse biological phenotype. The project brings together scientists with different expertise to meet the common goal to improve the currently available testing methods. EDCMET utilizes a wide variety of methodologies, ranging from computational methods, cell culture systems and up-to-date animal models, to epidemiological data, in order to associate the exposure to chemicals to ED-related metabolic effects.
The project is running from 01/01/2019 until 12/31/2023 and is coordinated by Prof. Dr. Anna-Liisa Levonen from the University of Eastern Finland. Project partners from eigth European countries will contribute to achieving the scientific goals of EDCMET.
In the University of Oulu professor Jukka Hakkola, professor Arja Rautio and professor Marjo-Riitta Järvelin participates to EDCMET project. The University of Oulu leads two out of the four scientific work packages: i) development of in vivo models to assess metabolic effects and toxic pathways of EDs and ii) population studies to estimate human exposure and risk assessment of EDs.

Concerns about cyber
threats addressed by latest IDIS tech
Network security and the threat of cyber-loopholes should be a top priority for video surveillance users, IDIS told visitors to IFSEC International.
Launching a cybersecurity advisory video ahead of the show, the IDIS team was also on hand to demonstrate and explain how IDIS technology goes a step further to strengthen the resilience of traditional surveillance network processes.
Korea's largest surveillance manufacturer highlighted the dangers of cyber-attacks and the common vulnerabilities found in many surveillance set ups – and showcased a full range counter-measures – at the London ExCel event on 18-20 June.
Users should plan for three specific risks, said the company: data access loopholes, data transmission weaknesses, and the integrity of recorded footage.
"IDIS has consistently led the way in addressing cybersecurity concerns, taking a multi-pronged approach from R&D through to customer installation," said James Min, Managing Director, IDIS Europe. "We have developed a rich, layered and comprehensive set of technologies and features to ensure maximum protection for end users."
Visitors saw for themselves how IDIS DirectIP® - the cornerstone of the IDIS Total Solution – closes-up widespread vulnerabilities and serves as a proprietary mutual authentication system for all IDIS IP products. DirectIP speeds up implementations and streamlines cybersecurity by eliminating the need for engineers to manage multiple IP addresses and associated passwords during implementation. It therefore mitigates against human error and the common malpractice of saving passwords in vulnerable spreadsheets.
IDIS's For Every Network (FEN) peer-to-peer technology also lets engineers deploy and configure secure, multi-site surveillance solutions that deliver centralised monitoring and control without in-depth knowledge of routing or networking.
IDIS also highlighted the cybersecurity essentials for transmission and recording, together with its own patented and proprietary technologies which prevent activities such as snooping, modification and destruction of data.
In addition, visitors to the show learned how IDIS ensures the integrity of video recording, with its advanced Chained Fingerprint technology authenticating footage so that it can be submitted to the police and courts as evidence.
"Combined with these technologies, our industry-leading training programs are helping installers and integration partners work knowledgably with devices and networks to ensure maximum cybersecurity for our users," added Min.

Jacaranda Housing holds title to a portfolio of 79 dwellings in 58 separate locations in south-east Queensland under the Long Term Community Housing Program. These include 16 properties in the Bayside area of Brisbane and Redland Cities and the remainder in inner suburban Brisbane. These properties have an estimated value in excess of $39m.
Jacaranda Housing is governed by a skill-based Board of Directors and employs an experienced team to manage the day to day operations of the organisation. Jacaranda Housing currently manages all of its properties in-house, with management carried out by an experienced and professional Community Housing Management team and overseen by the Chief Executive Officer. This operational model has been in place since 2010. Jacaranda Housing mostly provides housing to people facing housing stress and those most at risk in our community under the Department of Housing and Public Works Social Services System.
For some, tenant participation is still important, and volunteerism has been a way of life. Sub-committees provide avenues for tenants to continue to participate if desired, ensuring they can remain engaged and the organisation continues to have access to their skills and knowledge gained over the past 30 years of volunteer service. Our current sub-committee structure is:

Catatom is rooted in love. I'm a psychological counselor. My husband Stephane Le Caignec is a French teacher. We have been living in Shanghai since 2008. After we met and fell in love with each other, during a discussion about whether to adopt pets, Stephane, who was brought up in a family intimate with cats, told me explicitly that he would like to keep a cat. As a result, I, who knew nothing about cats before, began to get close to them and voluntarily adopted Tina and Jenny in succession. Looking at these two lovely cats, I was touched by the idea coming to my mind that I should be responsible for their whole life ever since. Gradually Tina and Jenny get used to the new environment and begin to trust and depend on us. As an indispensible part of our life, they arouse the purest and most selfless sentiment deep in our heart—love.
In the past, while we were out for business, we tried to leave them at pet care home. At that time, we did not realize that for cats it was no different from desertion. When we went to the foster home to get Tina and Jenny back, they huddled themselves in a corner, as if we were strangers. At the thought that they had to share one room with unknown cats and to fight to defense their territory, we came to the realization that the decision to leave them to others was wrong: we did not put ourselves in Tina and Jenny's position; we should not thrust them aside like "things" when we are busy. Cats also have feelings and can be anxious but may express them in different ways, which are habitually ignored by self-righteous men. Later, we find out a better way to care for cats while owners are out temporarily: cats need not leave accustomed surroundings; instead, we will go to them and attend them from their points of view. This is how Catatom came into being. In the past years, we have paid visits to homes of many cat lovers and built up trust in each other. Catatom is still in its infancy and we are fully convinced that we will create more service value through continuous contact with and more understanding of cats.
"A nation's prosperity and morality are reflected in its attitude towards all the living creatures." Convinced that more and more cat-loving family families will come to know us and accept such services, we warmly welcome genuine cat lovers to join Catatom and let's explore the world of cats together!
Compared with human beings, cats are much more short lived. May all the cats in their limited life time can live merrily together with their owners!
Co-founder of Catatom: Yang Li

The outbreak of skin generally can be treated with anti-infectious agents, for example, antibiotics, doxycycline, minocycline, and erythromycin can become less red and aroused Acne. The impact of the new treatment will be a long period of use.
At that point, how will you get rid of medium-term red Acne?
What Causes Aroused Red Acne?
Redness in skin break out is certainly not a wound, however as a type of irritation. Provocative red Acnes start when abundance sebum goes through the dividers of the skin follicles. Inside the pores, sebum blends with dead skin cells, which causes stopping up of the pores. This enables the skin inflammation microbes to create, while the free radicals will harm tissue that causes irritation and redness of the skin.
On the off chance that the contamination does not create, redness will vanish without anyone else's input.
In any case, if this red shading does not change following a year, all things considered, it is a skin inflammation scar.
How To Dispose Of Aggravated Acne Medium-term?
There are two critical things you have to know whether you need to dispose of redness on skin inflammation medium-term. Initially, redness is brought about by the impacts of irritation. Consequently, the treatment you utilize must be the one that handles this aggravation issue.
Next, you need to ensure the Acnes recuperate rapidly. This will decrease the redness of skin inflammation rapidly. There are a few compelling and basic medicines that you can rehearse at home to decrease redness in Acne.
The quickest technique is to put an ice pack on the aggravated it. First, wrap the ice with a spotless fabric before putting it all over! From that point onward, wait for a couple of minutes. Rehash until redness diminishes. Ensure you don't press excessively hard, in light of the fact that it can hurt the Acne and cause the microorganisms to assault the zone.
Aspirin isn't just to treat migraines, yet in addition, can diminish redness in Acne. Aspirin contains salicylic corrosive which can decrease aggravation by stripping. To conquer the redness of skin break out in a brief timeframe, dividing Aspirin turns out to behalf. Crush tenderly with water, at that point apply to the zit. Use tape to ensure it and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Toothpaste is one of the medications that is frequently brought in conquering redness in Acne. This works on the grounds that the toothpaste contains silica, which helps dry skin break out. In any case, you ought not to utilize toothpaste containing menthol or fluoride. This fixing makes disturbance of the skin as well as motivations more skin inflammation.
In spite of the fact that redness in Acne can meddle with your appearance, this isn't as awful as the injuries left after Acne. Assuaging redness does not limit the danger of skin break out scars. You have to regard your Acne as right on time as conceivable to avoid damage.

Studio Space
I'm working on a presentation and collection of illustrations at the moment which I can't blog until the end of the month. I've also been continually thinking about my studio space, as we gear up to decorate the house and landscape garden into the summer and next year. I'd love a separate studio space to the house but that's more of a dream at the moment. Here's some decor I've been looking at from www.housetohome.com though a big table is a must for me, as I'm a messy worker ; )

PRAYAGRAJ — Pilgrims from across the world are gathering for the Kumbh Mela, a mix of spirituality, politics and tourism that began on Tuesday. Thousands of portable toilets lined roads constantly swept clean, drinking water flows from newly installed taps, electric substations power a massive tent city and billboards encourage a "clean Kumbh".
But the skies over the confluence of sacred rivers in northern India where millions of Hindu priests and pilgrims have come to wash away their sins at the festival are thick with toxic dust, a sign that government officials are struggling to grapple with the country's worsening air pollution.
The hazardous air may also hinder the government's drive to make the Kumbh Mela, or pitcher festival, a global tourism event.
During the eight-week festival at Allahabad, recently renamed Prayagraj, in Uttar Pradesh, authorities expect up to 150 million people, including a million foreign visitors, to bathe at the confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna, and a mythical third river, the Saraswati.
Devout Hindus believe that bathing in the waters of the Ganga absolves people of sins and bathing at the time of the Kumbh Mela, or the "festival of the pot", brings salvation from the cycle of life and death.
The first of a series of royal baths took place before dawn on Tuesday, led by a procession of sadhus on tractor chariots and on foot, singing, drumming and blowing horns. The first to bathe were the naga sadhus, whose bodies were covered with ash. Huge crowds followed them into the river, including Mili Mishra, a teacher from Prayagraj with her husband and two sons.
"We are not earning a livelihood. We think that if we bathe here, God can change our life," she said.
The exact dates and times of the baths, as well as the Kumbh itself, are determined by the cosmic alignment of the sun, moon and Jupiter.
The government has for years provided security and free food and shelter for the poorest pilgrims.
For this year's Kumbh — though less religiously significant than the Kumbh that happens every 12 years, and still less than the one that occurs every 144 years — the government shelled out an estimated Rs 4.3 billion ($650 million).
The budget supplied thousands of toilets and urinals, public dormitories, and hundreds of water stations, as well as police, hospitals, 24-hour pharmacies and fire and ambulance services.
The expansive campgrounds hosted everything from luxury "glamping" options that cost up to Rs 35,000 ($494) per night — private, tent "suites" with plush bedding and flush toilets — to a cot with a thin foam mattress in a public dormitory in a high-top tent that costs Rs 200 ($2.83) per night.
"I go to holy sites very often, but I'm used to them being very dirty. I have never seen this level of cleanliness measures at any other holy city," said Gita Mishra, 58, one of the guests at a public tent near the banks of the river.
When people waiting for a spot outside the tent learned it was full, they laid blankets around the periphery to sleep in the hazy open air.
Still others, including about 500 sanitation workers, pitched pup tents near a row of some of the toilets they are paid Rs 300 ($7) per day to clean.
The production of any Kumbh is a gargantuan task, particularly in the low-lying Indian army parade grounds in Prayagraj where the ritual baths take place. Regular summertime floods leave organisers only 40 to 50 days to erect the temporary city, according to city commissioner Ashish Goel.
But this year's public provisions are unprecedented.
"It's a very aspirational Kumbh Mela," Goel said.
The dust plumes encompassing the camp come from the sandy riverbanks, Goel said, and not from construction, which is banned during the 55-day festival. Still, in the city center outside of the fairgrounds, brick kilns send up clouds of PM 2.5, tiny particulate matter that can dangerously clog lungs.
Even with the construction ban, PM 2.5 levels in Prayagraj on Tuesday were more than six times what the World Health Organization considers safe, according to AQI India, an online air quality monitor.
India's cities are among the world's smoggiest.
The government has announced a five-year program to cut air pollution by up to 30 percent from 2017 levels in the country's 102 worst-affected cities, including Prayagraj.
Key targets include reducing burning of field waste, firewood and charcoal, cleaning up thermal power and auto emissions and heavily polluting brick production and controlling dust from construction.
Critics say the plan lacks details on enforcement and funding.
Political pilgrimage
This year's event comes at a critical time for Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), expected to face a tough contest in a general election due by May.
It lost power in three key states in assembly elections in December, and will want to avoid a similar result during the general election in Uttar Pradesh, a state of 220 million where a good showing can often decide the outcome.
Modi and opposition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are both expected to attend the festival before it wraps up in March.

Rare Snowstorm Just Blanketed Parts Of The Sahara Desert In Up To 16 Inches Of Snow
Ain Sefra, known as "the gateway to the desert" has an average high of 99.7°F during the month of July, making locals much more accustomed to managing extreme heat rather than snow. Unequipped to manage snow on roads, cars and buses were stranded on roads as they became icy.
The snow didn't last long as temperatures rose to 42°F by the late afternoon. This was enough time for children to make snowmen and sled on the sand dunes, creating memories that may not be reenacted for many years to come.
The Sahara Desert town of Ain Sefra has experienced just three snow events in the past 37 years with the last two years having snow (1979, 2016, and 2017).
In the coming decades and centuries, we may find the Sahara Desert becoming the fertile grassland it once was. Research shows that northern Africa where the Sahara currently is was once dotted with large lakes, vegetation, animals, and human settlements. This period, known as the African Humid Period was far from northern Africa we know today.
It appears that approximately 5,500 years ago, however, northern Africa moisture was suddenly cut off, ending the humid period. Research is ongoing as to why and how fertile northern Africa suddenly became the Sahara Desert. One thing is clear though, the switch between humid and arid can be abrupt. Are we on the verge of another African humid period? No one knows for sure, but it will likely be the focus of continued research studies and the hopes for many northern Africa countries.

On Tuesday, July 17, Texas congressman Brian Babin has introduced a bill which, if signed into law, would delay implementation of the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate until December 2019. The "ELD Extension Act of 2017" would authorize a two-year delay. The proposed legislation was immediately referred to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee of the House of Representatives.
Report Cites Concerns over ELD Mandate
On Monday, July 16, a House report suggested that the Department of Transportation (DOT) study a possible ELD delay. Consideration of a delay is motivated in part by concerns about potential burdens faced by owner-operators and smaller fleets. The report also cited enforcement concerns and technological issues as further reasons for a proposed delay.
The ELD Extension Act of 2017 only becomes law if it is passed in both the House and the Senate and subsequently signed into law by the President. Sometimes, such bills eventually become a part of comprehensive appropriations legislation. The Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) cites hours of service changes attached to a 2013 bill as an example.
Currently, both the House and the Senate are working on appropriations bills relevant to the DOT. Freight Waves reports that, on Monday, language was added to the appropriations bill which would give the FMCSA 60 days to decide whether the existing December 18, 2017, deadline should remain, and whether other changes to the ELD mandate are warranted.

The first service 'jobs' I did as a sober alcoholic were stacking chairs, emptying the bin, sweeping the floor, dumping the ashtrays (back in the day), washing the cups, etc. I don't recall whether I pitched in because my sponsor (and/or someone else) prodded me, or—more likely—so I could spend additional time with all those cheerfully weird people who had welcomed me to AA.
At some point in those first few months I was asked if I would be willing to be a greeter the following week. I agreed—although the idea of standing in a doorway welcoming people (many of whom were strangers) and shaking hands triggered several self-centred fears.
I survived. And I stayed sober.
Being a greeter was like every service position I have ever had in Alcoholics Anonymous: not what I thought it would be.
This includes my current position as a General Service Board Trustee from the Continental European Region (CER).
Early on, I was taught a version of 'never say "no" to an AA request'. Over time, I learned a couple of things about 'AA requests'. It includes things like being a participating member of my household and family, being a decent employee and colleague, not being a jerk while driving (still some growth needed there), etc.
Being able to, to some extent, do those things is in part because of having done what I could to be of service in Alcoholics Anonymous. Trying to the best of my flawed and limited ability to give back to the fellowship that saved and changed my life.
I have learned that this doesn't mean I will get to do every job I want to do when I want to do it. It means I need to learn and understand the difference between wanting to be of service in AA and wanting to hold a certain position. My journey in service has not happened and does not happen on my timeline. I stood for trustee three times. I stood for delegate three times. In my early years, I stood for GSR three times.
I don't remember how I felt about not getting to be GSR when I wanted to, but I remember how grateful I became that I did not get elected delegate or selected to become a trustee according to my own time plan. I was a better delegate, with more relevant experience to offer, having to wait for three elections. And although I am still early in my rotation—I suspect that I am a better trustee than I would have been if I'd been selected earlier. I hadn't actually planned to stand a third time. But AAs whose experience I value convinced me to consider it again (and my sponsor declined to give me a reason to say no). Not quite a year into the rotation, I am once again discovering—daily—that a service position isn't what I thought it would be.
For that I am grateful.
What is a trustee? First, it is a huge responsibility. As members of the General Service Board, the sixteen trustees (one from each region), chair, vice-chair and honorary treasurer (who, with the general secretary make up the board's executive committee) and non-alcoholic trustees (affectionately known as 'NATS') are "responsible to the General Service Conference for carrying into effect the decisions taken by the Conference on service matters". Further, the board "is required to give an account of its stewardship to the Conference annually" (Structure Handbook).
The General Service Board is the board of the UK registered charity Alcoholics Anonymous Great Britain Limited, which serves the Fellowship of AA in Great Britain and the English-language groups and intergroups in continental Europe. It is at the bottom of our service structure's inverted triangle. The board is not the fellowship; the board serves the fellowship.
Board members take on various disciplines—Public Information, Literature, Young People, Electronic Communications, etc., and chair the various board sub-committees, on which AA members perform service for the fellowship. There are also executive, finance and nominations committees, on which only board members and the general secretary serve.
What else?
We travel a lot. There are three board meetings a year plus a board workshop. Each sub-committee meets up to four times a year. Regions also meet quarterly and the trustee from each region attends those assemblies. A trustee, depending on discipline(s), will likely travel at least twelve times a year during a four-year term.
At board meetings we review the finances and take up all pressing business legally required under UK charity law to be handled by the board. There is also the continual work of implementing the directions of the fellowship as decided at each year's General Service Conference (which we attend).
It is a lot of work. It is enormously satisfying. It is also humbling.
I once heard an AA speaker say that anonymity 'means giving up my right to make a big deal out of myself inside or outside of AA'. My time as a trustee has made me understand this in a way I never had before. The moment I start to think about me in service is the moment at which I cease to be, as our Big Book puts it, 'of maximum service to God and the people' around me. This is so whether I am helping put the room in order at my home group or attending a board meeting.
The alcoholic members of the board are, simply and finally, AAs who have been sober at least ten years, who have the requisite experience and who are willing and able to offer their imperfect selves to be of service to the fellowship. We work to try to ensure the fellowship has what it needs to be here for the alcoholics of tomorrow.
We are, like greeters and GSRs, just 'trusted servants' who are 'directly responsible to those [we] serve'.
I am awed and grateful for the opportunity.
In Fellowship,

The South Eastern Australian Recent Climate History project (SEARCH), was an Australian Research Council Linkage program that ran from 2009 to 2012. Spanning the sciences and the humanities, it drew together a team of leading climate scientists, water managers and historians to better understand south-eastern Australian climate history over past 200 to 500 years. It was the first study of its kind in Australia, and was awarded the Australian Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdiscplinary Research in 2014.
As part of the Early Weather Data stream of SEARCH, data from 39 archival sources were rescued for the southeastern Australian region. These sources cover the period 1788–1859 and varied from farmers' journals to newspaper reports, from official government documents to observatory records. They were mainly recovered from the state libraries of Victoria and New South Wales, as well as the considerable online database at the National Library of Australia. The recovered data included terrestrial temperature, air pressure, rainfall and rainday counts, on hourly to monthly scales.
Information about the data sources and the rescue process can be found in Ashcroft, L., Gergis, J. and Karoly, D.J., 2014b. A historical climate dataset for southeastern Australia. Geosciences Data Journal, 1(2): 158–178, DOI: 10.1002/gdj3.19. The recovered data themselves are available at https://zenodo.org/record/7598#.VkXkmHpVLPE.

Anirudha Roy Chowdhury joins hands with Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Andrea Tariang for this courtroom drama. Produced by Shoojit Sircar, and written by Ritesh Shah, the movie also has Piyush Mishra, Angad Bedi, Dhritiman Chatterjee, among others in important roles. Here's how the case proceeded!
What is it about?
Superficially, the movie deals with a courtroom debacle between two parties, one of a politico's son (Angad Bedi) represented by his lawyer (Piyush Mishra) and normal, working, independant, ultra modern group of friends who are women (Tapsee, Kirti and Andrea) represented by their lawyer Amitabh Bachchan. But in deep detail, it is a presentation of a tussle between the still unanswered modern feminist rights and the hardheaded, captivating rules placed by the society on its women.
What makes up the film?
The film travels right from the start with a group of guys trying to make Tapsee and her two roomies feel sorry for something that happened between them after a rock concert party. Soon, the police get involved,and the film slowly unravels the events of the night and the undercurrent of sensitivities of each character, through a classic courtroom drama. Perhaps the whole film can be summed up through a dialogue of Amitabh's "She said no your Honour, and no means no - be it your friend, or girlfriend or wife."
What works?
The cast and the sensitivities they represent through their characters. The screenplay written by Ritesh is a display of brilliance, making for an engaging, also humorous, sensible and eye opening courtroom drama. Stellar performance by every single actor in the film has made it worthy of applause. Music and visuals support sternly.
What doesn't work?
Very little if any can be said as 'doesn't work' in the film. The screenplay is crisp and the technical presentation is perfect which means you should skip this part of the review.
Overall, the film is a tight slap to the society and provides the much-needed sense of liberation for it's women audience for taking up their cause. But the strength of the film is still its plot and engagement. So hence, it becomes a must watch film. That is all, your Honour!
