Thanks first of all to the Lord and then to Rehab and Home Health.
I had quadruple bypass surgery July 30. I have had no previous heart attack and the heart is not damaged in any way but after one instance of chest pain, shortness of breath and a tight chest I had an angiogram done which indicated 6 blockages none of which were severe but one blockages covered three minor arteries to the heart requiring heart surgery.
The surgery went perfect. That was Monday, but on Tuesday my lungs completely failed and I had to be put back on the breathing machine for six more days. During this time my kidneys began to fail. But on Friday August 10 I was transferred to AMG Rehab at Lourdes Hospital for a planned stay of 4 – 5 weeks.
Those that know me know I don't quit. When I got to Rehab I could not take 2 steps unassisted and had lost 41 pounds. Two weeks later I walked out going home. God had done His best I knew I had to do my best. Home Health was just as amazing as Rehab. During the next 5 weeks I was challenged and worn out but thanks to the Lord's blessing I am back at work ready to serve Him. God has been Good.
He provided me with the best hospital, the best cardiologist, the best surgeon, the best rehab and as far as I'm concerned the best home health. Had it not been for the Lord giving me the best there was to humanly receive I'm sure I would not have made it. I went into surgery believing that the Lord would restore me 100%. I still believe this. I'm not there yet but I'm working toward it.
I have learned the secret to life. It's not mine; it's His. Job 12:9-10 says, "Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind." A man, perhaps several have held my heart in their hands but I have learned that God has always held my heart in His hand. That will change your perspective on life.

Designed by the architectural firm of T. Thomas & Son for Macon entrepreneur William Butler Johnston, this 18,000-square-foot Italian Renaissance Revival mansion was built between 1855-59 by James B. Ayres. Macon's grandest residential landmark, it's also considered one of the finest houses in Georgia, known as the "Palace of the South" upon construction. It was the most modern house in mid-19th-century Macon, featuring hot and cold running water, gas lighting, central heat, an in-house kitchen and other innovations far ahead of their time. The Johnston's daughter Mary Ellen married William H. Felton (later a judge) in 1888 and they soon moved into the house. After the deaths of the Feltons, Parks Lee Hay bought the house in 1926. When Mrs. Hay died in 1962, her heirs established the P. L. Hay Foundation and operated it as a private museum. The Hay House was transferred to the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in 1977 and is operated as a house museum and event venue. The Georgia Trust has spent decades researching the history and architecture of the house.

PPMI in collaboration with CSES have recently submitted the Final Report for the study supporting the evaluation of the operation of the European Research Council Executive Agency, which was launched by DG RTD of the European Commission. The main objective of the third three-year evaluation of the ERCEA's operations was to assess the effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of the implementation of parts of the European Union programmes by the ERCEA in the three-year period (2015-2018). The study combined a retrospective and forward-looking analysis. If the former analysis assessed changes in the operations of the Agency during the evaluation period, the latter analysis informed the development of recommendations for improving the performance of the ERCEA in the future. This evaluation was coordinated by our partners from CSES.
The purpose of this evaluation was to undertake the periodical (tri-annual) evaluation of the operation of the ERCEA for the period 2015-2018. In line with the Commission's better regulation principles, the evaluation covered the criteria of efficiency, effectiveness, coherence and relevance. The study combined a retrospective and forward-looking analysis. If the former analysis assessed changes in the operations of the Agency during the evaluation period, the latter analysis informed the development of recommendations for improving the performance of the ERCEA in the future. The evaluation extended to the 2014-2020 programmes delegated to the Agency and the legacy of the FP7 actions managed during the period 2015-2018.
The study followed an organisational model linking three sets of factors: (1) regulatory and operational framework; (2) performance enablers (strategy and planning, people, other resources, partnerships and processes of an Agency); and (3) (intended and unintended) results. It also measured the main aspects of the ERCEA's performance based on quantitative or qualitative indicators on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, effectiveness and value for money. As part of the study, we gathered and analysed the evidence using qualitative and quantitative methods, including an extensive documentary review and desk research, semi-structured in-depth interviews with Commission officials and Agency staff, surveys of the Agency's experts, an analysis of the survey and administrative data, and a retrospective cost–benefit analysis. The methodology applied in this assignment was consistent with the approaches employed during the evaluations of other Executive Agencies, including the latest evaluations of REA, EACEA, INEA and CHAFEA.
Over the course of the project, the evaluation team assessed the Agency's regulatory framework, mission and governance, evaluated its performance in 2015-2018, conducted cost-benefit analysis as well as developed conclusions and policy recommendations. The results of the study were submitted to the ERCEA Steering Committee and other Commission services. The evaluation results helped the Commission services to assess whether the functioning of the Agency has yielded the expected positive results as estimated in the ex-ante Cost-Benefit Analysis for the delegation of tasks to the Executive Agencies and identify potential areas of improvement.

What is LILD (Letter Induced Lucid Dream)?
This technique uses a letter or symbol to induce lucidity. Day-memories are often incorporated
into the dream, especially memory from the evening. So it is quite likely that some of what you
experience after waking up after 5-6 hours and stay up for about an hour is incorporated into
the dream. This is how this technique work. You concentrate on a letter, A for Awareness during
that hour. Visualize yourself many times seeing that A and suddenly remember to do a RT.
Think about this for about an hour and remember to do a Reality Test whenever you see an A.
This should also be done during the day, do a RT every time you notice an A.
Writing a word or a letter in your hand, and frequently check it might help.
Just hope that you will remember to do a RT if you see a big A in the middle of the road.
The symbol in this technique can easily be changed to your dog, a friend, a place or an activity.

text: A Jewish American writer, Anzia Yezierska's most popular texts primarily explore the female immigrant experience in 1920s New York. Her most famous works are the novels Bread Givers and Salome of the Tenements, which explore the difficulties experienced by young Jewish immigrants in New York during the early 20th Century. In both novels, the central characters struggle to achieve independence from the previous generations' traditions and adapt to the American dream of prosperity through self-reliance, whilst negotiating cultural, religious and linguistic differences. In the course of her writing, Yezierska drew heavily on her own life experiences, whilst her preoccupation with the central themes of her writing - the immigrant's struggle for equality in America, their right to education and a fierce desire for freedom from domestic drudgery leads to a detailed view of the New York ghetto, and an extraordinary account of the immigrant experience. Yezierska's female characters find freedom in the anonymity of crowds, whilst feeling stifled in the often cramped domestic spaces – which therefore prompts them into transgressing the traditional gender boundaries regarding appropriate living and work spaces. In Bread Givers, the heroine of the novel daringly leaves home unmarried to live and work alone in order to get a university education for herself, but later finds that she is drawn back to her old neighbourhood on the Lower East Side of New York. Through this navigation of boundaries, and by utilising utilises non-standard English in order to examine the boundaries which language differences can erect, Yezierska interrogates the careful negotiations of space and activity demanded by both the cultures' assumptions regarding the role of women in society. Therefore this paper proposes to examine the conflicting descriptions between domestic spaces in the novels, and discuss the disrupted trajectory of female emancipation depicted through Yezierska's use of language and syntax.

Juventus Aim To Finish Off Monaco
Juventus will be hoping to make it 11 victories out of 11 against French teams in knockout ties when they face AS Monaco in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday.
Juventus, who moved 15 points clear at the top of Serie A after beating second-placed Lazio 2-0 on Saturday as they close in on a fourth successive domestic crown, also have their eyes on a first Champions League semifinal appearance since 2003.
On current form they will start the match at Stade Louis II as favourites to reach the last four.
They have won all 10 of their previous knockout ties against French teams in Europe while Monaco have won only one of six ties against Italian clubs. The Ligue 1 club have also not won any of their last four home matches in any competition.
Coach Massimiliano Allegri saw his men win last week's first leg 1-0 in Turin thanks to Arturo Vidal's second-half penalty and they travel to Monaco seeking a third straight away win in the competition after victories at Malmo and Borussia Dortmund.
His only injury absentees are central defender Martin Caceres (ankle) and attacking midfielder Paul Pogba (thigh).
Juventus largely dominated the first leg, although Monaco did have chances of their own and went close to scoring through both Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco and Dimitar Berbatov.
But the Italians are oozing with confidence. They have won eight of their last nine matches and the only goal they have conceded in that run was when their much-changed team lost 1-0 to Serie A bottom club Parma on April 11.
But while Allegri is enjoying Juve's good form, his Monaco counterpart Leonardo Jardim has had to watch his side stumble in recent weeks.
His immediate concern will be to work out a way to contain the Serie A side's attacking intent without injured defensive midfielder Jeremy Toulalan (hamstring injury).
Since winning 3-1 at Arsenal in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie on February 25, Monaco's form has slipped.
They squeezed into the last eight of the Champions League on away goals after losing 2-0 at home to Arsenal and after failing to find the net against Juve last week, only drew 1-1 with Rennes in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
That result dented their title hopes and left Jardim frustrated with side winning only twice in their last seven matches in all competitions.
"I am not happy. We played well in the first half and controlled the match. However, in the last 30 minutes, I saw that we were looking tired," he said.
Unless Monaco, who are now six points behind leaders Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1, click back into gear on Wednesday and come out looking for goals from the start to secure their first Champions League semifinal appearance since 2004, their season is in real danger of fizzling out.

Frances Tiafoe appreciates spending time with kids holding clinics with them, signing autographs and taking photos. The American player said: "I love young guys coming up to me, autographs and things like that, embracing me, screaming "Big Foe" all the time, I think it's pretty cool.
I started playing tennis originally for my family, but I'm in a better place now. It's all about those young guys, especially love for more black people to play tennis. That's the goal. Obviously Serena">and Venus (Williams) did a great job of that.
James (Blake) in his time. Obviously you need more and more faces, right? You know, that's why I'm playing, and hopefully I can, you know, give opportunities for those guys at one point in my career." Analyzing his match win over Gael Monfils, Tiafoe spoke about his attempts to go to the net that were not always successful: "Just not easy, especially when you get passed a couple times when you came forward off some good approaches.
Yeah, I dumped some volleys early. It was a game plan. You've got to stick to it. You can live and die by it. At least you know it's the right play. Yeah, it was tough. I mean, just trying to be a little too fancy there in the beginning rather than just kind of being boring and taking care of the volley. Yeah, I was able to do that throughout the match better and better."

The 19th state admitted to the Union, Indiana is also the nation's 38th largest and 17th most populous. It was one of the earliest states outside of the original 13 colonies to be opened up to exploration and settlement, and became a state in 1816, only a little over three decades after the end of the American Revolution. With a long Native American history going deep back into time, there are plenty of folklore tales unique to this Great Lakes state. Here are some of the highlights of those tales.
The Crosley Monster
The Crosley Monster is Indiana's version of Bigfoot. It seems most areas of the United States (and even North America in general) have some version of a Bigfoot tale, but with regional differences that make each story unique. In Indiana's version, the monster resides in Jennings County, and is half animal and half human. It has roamed the county for longer than anyone can recall.
While stories of the Crosley Monster have existed for generations, maybe longer, the most recent reported sighting was in 2006, when four boys who were camping in the woods in Jennings County encountered it. They were in the Crosley Fish and Wildlife Refuge, and set up camp for an evening, and were settling in when they began to feel like something was watching them. Shortly after that, they heard the sounds of something approaching their camp site.
They expected to find a deer or some other usual and harmless animal, but instead, they saw a large beast standing on two legs, with large and glowing eyes. It was extremely hairy and dirty, and stood about seven feet tall. It spotted the boys and began to shake the limbs of the nearby trees violently, before leaping at them in a way that seemed it intended to harm them. The boys fled the scene, and the monster chased them, dropping onto all fours to do so. It chased them through a corn field, and when the boys passed through it and reached the road, the beast turned around and returned to the field.
The Lady in Gray
The Willard Library, located in Evansville, Indiana, has a ghost known as the Lady in Gray. She is so associated with the library that many guests have claimed to have captured her image in photographs while there. The lady is believed to be the daughter of the library's original owner, as the building used to be a family home. The daughter's name was Louise Carpenter. Her identity is not certain, but this is who most people believe her to be.
When she appears at the library, the smell of her perfume, flickering lights, water faucets turning on and off by themselves, and moving books are said to accompany her. Psychics visited the library in 2007 and confirmed a ghostly presence was there. Police officers responding to the security alarm going off at the library one night reportedly saw her face in the upstairs window. She sometimes appears in the elevator, as well. The library capitalizes on her popularity by hosting ghost tours in October to give residents and visitors a chance to meet her themselves.
Diana of the Dunes
Unlike most ghosts, this one has an identity that can be confirmed. Diana of the Dunes was, in life, a woman named Alice Marble Gray. Alice was a free spirited lady, kind of a hippie before hippies were invented, and lived in Indiana in the 1920's. She was always considered a non-conformist, and this reputation was solidified when she was thirty-five years old and chose to go live alone in an abandoned shack and farm the land. The area where her shack stood is now called Dunes State Park.
While there, Alice met Paul Wilson, a fellow non-conformist and recluse, and they began living together. They may have married, but this has not been confirmed. Paul later became a murder suspect when a burned and beaten body was found near the shack he and Alice shared, and they planned to move to Texas via raft, as the locals were already suspicious of them because of their unconventional lifestyle. Before they could move, Alice died because of kidney issues that could not be treated in those times, though there was a rumor that Paul killed her.
Alice never left the dunes she loved, and her spirit often appears there in the nude, walking along the shore or even swimming in the lake. Over the decades, her name has been changed by locals to the more literary-sounding "Diana of the Dunes." Though she can be seen quite clearly, she disappears if anyone gets too close to her.
The Ghosts of Dogface Bridge
It's not its real name, but a bridge in San Pierre, Indiana became known as Dogface Bridge after a honeymooning couple crashed their car there in the 1950's. The story goes that they were swerving to avoid hitting a dog that was crossing the bridge, and their car went off the bridge in the swerve. The couple was killed, and ghosts have been seen on the bridge ever since, most notably one of a woman with the head of a dog. The sounds of dogs growling and howling around the bridge (with no dogs being visible or present) is also common at this place.
The Beast of the Ohio River
This tale originated in 1955 when a monster about the size of a human and with green claws began going after women who were swimming in the Ohio River. The area where it supposedly lives is right outside of Evansville. The creature is said to have hairy arms, green skin, and large hands with claws on them. The first woman who the creature went after was almost pulled under a few times before escaping, and was left with visible injuries, including a green human hand print on her. Some people believe this monster was an alien that arrived with the infamous goblin sightings in Kelly, Kentucky, where locals reported seeing UFOs and goblin-like creatures on the same day as the first appearance of the beast of the Ohio River.

Coffee planters have been fearing a huge crop loss as the coffee fruits have started withering due to continuous and heavy rain.
On the other hand, areca farmers, too, are worried as they are not able to spray insecticides to the plants.
During the current year, most of the coffee plants were healthy and the planters expected more gain compared to the earlier year.
But the continuous rain has been affecting the crop. In June month alone, 1,100 mm of rainfall has been recorded, resulting in an increase in the level of humidity in the soil, which could turn fatal to the coffee plants.
In order to provide a scope for the plants to carry out respiration and to prevent fruit rot disease, the planters need to remove the weeds, prune the branches and should remove the withered leaves, facilitating the movement of air near the roots. Urea should be provided to plants, once the rain recedes, the coffee board officials have said. Providing of Potash in the equal quantity will control the withering of coffee fruits, according to some experienced growers.
Acera planters are worried as the rain is not taking a break. The farmers are not able to carry out pest control measures in areca plantations, said Dharanendra, an areca planter.
The unavailability of labourers who spray insecticides has also added to the problem, he added.

NFL and Miami Super Bowl Host Committee Launch Business Connect Diversity Development Initiative
Nov 08, 2018
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (November 8, 2018) --- More than 300 minority, women, veteran, and LGBT-owned businesses took their first step toward Super Bowl contracting opportunities on Wednesday when the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee launched the Super Bowl LIV Business Connect program at Hard Rock Stadium yesterday. The launch event provided local diverse business owners with the information about opportunities available through the program and got an inside look what NFL contractors expect from the special event production companies they hire.
"We have a wealth of uniquely talented event services companies in our region," said Rashad Thomas, VP of Business Connect and Community Outreach for the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee. "Our job is to make sure that we identify those businesses, understand their experience and capabilities, and connect them with NFL contractors who need their services."
The Miami Super Bowl Host Committee leadership were all in attendance at the Business Connect launch and are strong advocates for the program. "Whenever the Super Bowl comes to town, local businesses always need to know how they can get involved, and how it benefits the community," said Rodney Barreto, chair of the Miami Super Bowl Host Committee. "Everyone who wants to find out more about getting involved in this event needs to go to miamisb2020.com today, and check out all the information there on how to get involved with the Business Connect program."
Representatives from a variety of diversity-oriented business chambers in the area were also in attendance, including the Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council, the Miami-Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, the Minority Chamber of Commerce, and Miami-Dade and Broward county governments.
Featured speakers included B.J. Waymer, NFL Business Connect lead and Darryl Holsendolph, owner of Holsen, Inc., a Miami-based apparel company that benefitted directly from being involved with the Business Connect program in 2010.
When the Super Bowl returns to Miami in 2020 it will be the community's 11th time hosting the game. The event is projected to have a positive economic impact of over $500 million. Additionally, Super Bowl LIV will mark the culmination of the 100th anniversary of the NFL, and will feature special events and activities throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties as part of the festivities.Back to Newsroom

It should really be NAP+W as the website address is also important here. Back when keywords were the all-important elements of an SEO campaign, it paid to stuff your URLs full of your most important target keywords. I'm on the lookout for local organic fruit delivery . If you are using Google analytics platform you can reduce bounce rate even further by implementing event tracking for outgoing links that lead for example to a third party booking engine (if cross domain tracking isn't supporting it from your vendor) or use virtual pageviews functionality to track inbound phone calls from your mobile optimized website. Search engine do not give you links that are counted to your link popularity. You need to write content that others want to link to. And in my opinion, if you are not passionate about what you are writing, then it will be hard to get links pointing to your content. Does searching forSEO Consultant make your eyes light up when you see the results? Understanding how crawling, indexing, and ranking works is helpful to SEO practitioners, as it helps them determine what actions to take to meet their goals.
Are you making these webmaster tools errors?
There are a number of tools that let you check how many links are pointing to a site and what the authority of those pages are. Unfortunately none of them are perfect?-?the only way to know what links are pointing to your site is to have crawled those pages. Ever been to the toilet in a shower? Well now you can with the Aquaclean Tuma solution. Header tags are not as critically important for your site rankings as they used to be, but these tags still serve an important function for SEO. As tablets, smartphones and laptops have become not just common but universal, smart businesses have redirected their advertising strategies to be where their consumers are looking, online. I heard that storytelling in business really helps brands get their messages across. Take a look at which sites are currently winning the front page for the phrase you are hoping to win. Then, go ahead and link to a few of them within your own content. It can be within the body of the text, or you can include a few links at the bottom with a "More on This Subject" type of call to action (CTA). It may seem like this could lead eyes to a direct competitor, but don't be afraid to break the mold and link to them anyway. It doesn't have to be a struggle, however - by putting in place intricate and effective planning, the business can stay one step ahead of the majority of their competitors.
Optimise your site, paying special attention to offsite SEO
If you clicked on a search result and did nothing but wait, you'd grow impatient with Google and move on to the next search engine. There are a handful of ways to determine the overall authoritativeness of a chosen source. As a rule, the best thing you can do to create a successful blog and show up high in search results is put quality at number one. Provide value, solve readers' problems, and make your content and SEO practices natural and relevant. What skills does an seo need? Before you make anything official with any SEO company, make sure you have done a thorough background check on the company you are considering hiring. Essentially, these files are a condensed map that lays out the structure and hierarchy of your site.
Digital experiments: Channel testing and onsite SEO
Gaz Hall, a well regarded Freelance SEO Consultant, commented: "Unless you do marketing or SEO, you probably have never clicked on the 2nd page of search results." No matterhow juicy an opportunity might seem, it's only worth it if it makes your company look better to users. It represents how often visitors click on your website in the search results only to hit the back button. Most times, search engines have no way of finding these URLs. Make sure you avoid these common mistakes and adhere to other on-page SEO best practices to increase the likelihood that Google will serve up your pages to searchers.
How to diagnose user generated content related issues
What are the foundations of marketing strategies? In practice, most directories have an internal search facility and use back-up info from one or more of the search engine indexes; and many search engines incorporate site details from one or more of the directory databases. Instead of focusing on specific keywords, just write valuable content that highlights your business. Why Pay-Per-Click? The content on your website must be unique and creative. It has to be relevant to your readers, and not published just for SEO purposes. To create relevant content, research the latest trends and write blog posts that are engaging. Teach your audience how to do something, and always update old content.
How do you consistently create engaging content that people will actually want to read?
The secret to building a blog that gets crazy backlinks, ranks for awesome keywords and makes you money on autopilot? With Google Tag Manager (GTM) installed you will want to install Google Analytics (or move your analytics installation from the hardcode to Tag Manager. This disavow tool will ensure that Google doesn't use the links against you. This is very similar to duplicate content, however it manifests itself in a different way. When looking for ways to improve organic search engine rankings in just about any industry, the fact is that there are still only two primary ranking factors that search engines like Google give priority to: content and backlinks.
Lets look at our approach to meta tags
Your content is essential, but Google's ability to count incoming links, in addition to content, was considered a major breakthrough. The pre-existing relationship factor also matters little to where your links are pointing, specifically.

Therapeutic Massage
Combining soft and deep tissue massage, this treatment helps to relax your whole body while at the same time working through some of the muscle issues or "tight spots" you may be experiencing. The best time for a therapeutic massage is when you feel yourself getting worked up, when you have some specific aches and pains that need to be addressed, or when you are just not feeling your best.
Almost all massage therapy induces a relaxation response, which lowers your heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure, while boosting your immune system, generally decreasing the physical effects of stress.
It is beneficial to have a regular therapeutic massage every 4 – 6 weeks. This is optimal for helping to keep muscles relaxed and as an effective prevention therapy. However, highly stressed out clients may require weekly massages at first, as the body gets used to becoming relaxed and remaining that way.

Reading have signed Republic of Ireland midfielder David Meyler on a free transfer. The 29-year-old's contract with Hull City was set to expire this June and he was recently released by the club.
Seizing the opportunity, the Royals offered Meyler a two-year contract and he has become their second signing of the summer. The former Hull star will provide ample experience and leadership and it goes without saying that he could work wonders under Paul Clement's guidance.
Over the course of the last season, Meyler appeared 25 times for Hull, during which he managed to score 5 goals. And his skills could be great for a side that narrowly missed relegation. Having survived the drop to the League One by merely 3 points, the new season will be crucial for Reading.
Playing internationally for the Republic of Ireland, Meyler has collected 20 caps since his debut in 2012. However, at his new club, Meyler is in for quite a challenge. He must help the struggling Royals progress higher up the league table next term and that will be quite an uphill task.
As far as his playing style is concerned, Meyler boasts of exceptional aerial strength and he also enjoys fulfilling his defensive duties. However, there is an area of concern.
The player tackles and intercepts like nobody's business but that often leads to numerous yellow cards and red cards. Clement must ensure Meyler adheres to discipline at Reading.
Meyler may get his first chance to impress the boss during the upcoming friendlies. Reading will take part in away games against the likes of Eastleigh, AFC Wimbledon and Fulham before flying out to Austria for a pre-season tour.
Following that, the club will face Premier League side Crystal Palace and that should be a great chance for Meyler to prove his worth.
That said, Meyler must work extremely hard and focus all his energy on training with his new side. Reading face a tough season ahead and they will need all their players to be at their best, meaning Meyler will have no room for slacking.
The pre-season matches will provide him with a good understanding of Clement's tactics and his new teammates and that should help him adjust better. Provided he can secure a first-team spot for himself, a player like Meyler ticks all the boxes for Reading. If he delivers the goods on a consistent basis, he will become a fan-favourite in the seasons to come.

In his recent book, Gujarat Behind the Curtain (Manas Publications, 2015), retired DGP R. B. Sreekumar recalls how, in a glaring instance of the continuous attempts to justify the 2002 communal riots more than two months after they began, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, then Chief Minister of Gujarat, told him in a one-to-one conversation that violence by the Hindus after the Godhra train burning on February 27 was "a natural and uncontrollable reaction and no police could control and contain it."
During a meeting with police officials on February 27, Sreekumar recounts in his book, Modi had justified the need for allowing people to vent their anger. According to Sreekumar, Modi told them, "In communal riots, police normally takes action against Hindus and Muslims on one-to-one proportion, this will not do now, allow Hindus to give vent to their anger."
The former IPS officer writes that he had sent an "exhaustive analytical report" on April 24, 2002, and asked Modi to urgently implement "curative measures suggested in the reports, for restoring the faith of Muslim community" in the administration, even as averting "any criticism from judiciary or the National Human Rights Commission."
On May 7, "The chief minister responded that he had read my April 24 report and observed that my conclusions and suggestions were based on partial data and defective presumptions. In his view, violence by Hindus after Godhra incident was 'a natural and uncontrollable reaction and no police could control and contain it'," writes Sreekumar.
"I argued that police could not excuse themselves by taking such a view and police officers were mandated to maintain public order. I added that wherever effective action was taken, like in Surat city (7 killed in riots as against 326 in Ahmedabad city and 36 in Vadodara city), normalcy could be restored fast", he further writes.
On hearing this, Sreekumar recalls, "soon, the chief minister became defensive and claimed that he had given a free-hand to officers to take legal action against miscreants [at the] February 27, 2002 meeting, but many police officers did not [fulfil] duties as per their statutory obligations."
However, adds the ex-IPS officer, "When I emphasized on the government taking measures to gain confidence of the Muslims, the chief minister was quite annoyed and said that the Muslims were on the offensive… I countered him with statistics of higher percentage of death of Muslims in police action and riots (117 Muslims killed in police firing as against 83 Hindus, and 587 Muslims killed in riots as against 177 Hindus) and persuaded him to accept the ground realities."
Yet, he underlines, the chief minister "did not show any inclination to accept my arguments. He advised that I need not have to concentrate on the Sangh Parivar (to collect intelligence about the organization) as, according to him, they were not doing anything illegal."
Sreekumar also disputes, in his book, the "assumption" that the train burning, in which 57 kar sevaks died, was a Pakistani ISI job. He details that the only detail Rajendra Kumar, then in charge of Central IB Unit of Gujarat, came up with on ISI's possible involvement was a tape of telephonic conversation between a Godhra resident and his friend in Pakistan after the incident, in which the former expressed joy and happiness over the killing of Ram Bhaktas returning from Ayodhya by Muslims in Godhra.
Sreekumar subsequently recounts that DGP K. Chakrovorti had told him that "this conversation itself was not sufficient to infer that attack on kar sevaks was an ISI conspiracy and that he would not mislead the course of investigation by Gujarat Police. He confirmed that the police had not come up with any input about conspiracy."

One might assume Copenhagen to be bland, not interesting, just because it did not play an important role in the history of Central Europe. Why would it though? Denmark is part of Scandinavia, making the city immensely important to the North. While it was only a small Viking fishing village in the beginning, the Danish capital is now the country's economic and cultural center.
The best place to learn about Danish history are the Amalienborg palaces, situated almost right on the waterfront, only separated from the harbor by Amaliehaven, a small park. These palaces are still the home of the royal family. Because they were originally built for four different noble families there are four identical buildings situated around the central square. The monarch's family still occupies two of the four palaces, the other two are open to the public. It is in one of the two latter buildings that you can find a museum, outlining Denmark's history and the royal family's way of life. If you head to the palaces at around 12pm you might see the changing of the royal guards, a very formal affair.
Fun fact? There were ten kings named Christian and nine named Frederick. I'd say tradition was — and maybe still is — quite important to them. Also, the first woman to reign was Margaret I in 1376. Which makes me wonder: How did the only female ruler during the monarchy in Austria, Maria Theresa, not ascend the throne until 1740?
As for the rest of the city? Be prepared to spend hours walking around admiring the buildings, to take time for a coffee in one of the lively streets. Have a waffle at Nyhavn, walk out to den Lille Havfrue to be disappointed by her size and the number of tourists lurking around, take a moment to feel the breeze on your face.
Should you want to take an hour to relax, enjoy the serenity at Botanisk Have, the Botanical Garden. You might even see a gorgeous blue butterfly that obviously escaped the Butterfly House. Right next to it you can also find Rosenborg Slot, a charming little castle with beautiful grounds.
If you would like to go shopping, be prepared – the prices are steep. But for window-shopping? I would absolutely recommend a quarter called Indre By. I fell in love with Danish fashion right there.
A little to the south you can find Christiansborg Palace, Børsen (the beautiful building formerly housing the Copenhagen Stock Exchange), det Kongelige Bibliotek (the Royal Library), and several museums. Even if you do not want to enter the buildings, you should definitely take a moment to admire their architecture.
As for fun? there are two different options that both seem to be popular with the locals. A) Tivoli and B) Christianshavn. While the first is an amusement park, the latter cannot be described so easily. In the beginning it was a working-class neighborhood, but over the last 50 years or so it turned into a diverse and artsy quarter, its character clearly distinctive. If you happen to see any police raids, don't worry. One particular street in the center of Christianshavn is well known for the selling of weed, and supposedly the police come by four or five times a day to make sure everything is in order. Still, the path running along the canal is nice for a ride on a bicycle or a calm afternoon walk.
While I am sure there is much more to see in Copenhagen, what most surprised me was the atmosphere. It is calm and laid back and unpretentious, all while bustling with life.

Michael Myers returns for Cody's favorite Halloween sequel.
Producers John Carpenter (who also directed the first Halloween) and Debra Hill had meant to leave Halloween and Halloween II slasher Michael Myers behind and turn the franchise into an anthology of horror films that would all be set around the Halloween holiday but wouldn't be connected to each other storywise. Halloween III: Season of the Witch was their attempt at getting that anthology idea rolling... but after that film was released, it was clear that the anthology approach wasn't going to be continued. Halloween III was always going to be the anomaly that it remains to this day.
Dissatisfied with the Halloween III experiment, producer Moustapha Akkad was adamant that Myers would be returning for the next sequel. Carpenter and Hill hired writer Dennis Etchison, who they had worked with on the novelizations of The Fog, Halloween II, and Halloween III, to write a Halloween 4 that would be set on the 10th anniversary of the events of the original Halloween and have Myers reappearing in the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois in some way. Etchison's idea was more supernatural than the first two Halloweens, but Myers would be killing people again, and characters from the previous films would be featured - the main characters were going to be Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace, the children who were being babysat in the first Halloween, now teenagers. Police officer Gary Hunt, introduced in Halloween II, would be the town sheriff. One of the locations would be the Lost River Drive-In, which was mentioned in a line of dialogue in Halloween II. Etchison completed a draft of the script and Piranha / The Howling director Joe Dante was meant to direct (as he had briefly been attached to direct Halloween III). Then Akkad rejected Etchison's script, as he didn't like the supernatural elements. He wanted something more straightforward and down-to-earth. So Carpenter and Hill sold their piece of the Halloween rights to him and moved on.
Etchison's ideas weren't used, except for the basic idea of the sequel being set on Halloween of 1988, and Tommy and Lindsey didn't end up being the main characters, but teenagers named Tommy and Lindsey do make appearances in the final film.
Others worked on the script after Etchison; Dhani Lipsius, Larry Rattner, and Benjamin Ruffner all receive story credits on Halloween 4, but I've never heard details on what they wrote and the film is the only writing credit for two of them. The writer whose script was brought to the screen by director Dwight H. Little was Alan B. McElroy, who knocked out a draft in the eleven days he had before the Writers Guild would be going on strike. Given that the finished film is almost exactly the script McElroy wrote that quickly, it's pretty impressive that it holds together so well - but it's also pretty clear that he was often sticking closely to the scenes and structure of the first Halloween.
By now we know exactly what a Halloween remake would be like, but for years I said that Halloween 4, while being a sequel, was like a remake of the original film. It's a very similar movie, it just takes scenarios from its predecessor and makes them bigger and flashier.
Ten years have passed since the events of Halloween and Halloween II, and after being caught in an explosion at the end of II Michael Myers has spent those years lying in a coma in Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium, four hours away from Haddonfield. This time of peace comes to an end on the night of October 30th, when a medical team shows up at Ridgemont to transfer the unconscious maniac over to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, the place where he had been locked up from 1963 to '78. In the first movie, Myers escaped from Smith's Grove on Halloween when he was about to be escorted to a court appearance - so similar scenarios.
Halloween II had (unfortunately) established that Myers was pursuing Haddonfield teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in the first two films because she was his sister and he intended to kill her like he had killed their older sister Judith when he was a 6-year-old back in '63. Curtis wasn't going to come back for Halloween 4, so Laurie is killed off in lines of dialogue that say she died in an accident, along with her husband, at the end of 1987. Rather than use the absence of Curtis to have Myers stalking people at random like he appeared to be doing in part 1, The Return of Michael Myers adds another level to the "he wants to kill his family" idea: Myers awakens from his coma and kills the medical staff driving him to Smith's Grove when one of them mentions that he still has a living relative living in his hometown: Laurie's daughter.
He's back to kill his niece.
As much as I wish the family motivation had never been worked into the series, I can't blame Halloween 4 for continuing something Halloween II had set up, so I don't let that hamper my enjoyment of the film.
Myers was played, for the most part, by stuntman George P. Wilbur in this film, and Wilbur did a commendable job. He's a bit too rigid, but he is following in the footsteps of part 2's Dick Warlock, and Warlock's portrayal of Myers was as rigid as it gets. Wilbur's Myers is stronger than the ones who came before, which tends to happen in slasher franchises: the more damage a killer takes, the stronger they get. This Myers is so strong, the first kill involves him sticking his thumb right into a person's forehead, through the skull.
Wilbur was hired during production, replacing the first stuntman who had been cast as Myers, Tom Morga. Morga's Myers can still be seen here and there throughout the film, and I don't see anything wrong with his moments, but the producers weren't satisfied with him for whatever reason. Myers isn't the only iconic masked killer Morga has played. He put on the mask of Leatherface for a shot in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and played both Jason Voorhees and the copycat killer in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.
Laurie's daughter is 7-year-old Jamie Lloyd, and 11-year-old child actress Danielle Harris, who has gone on to be a genre regular over the decades since this film, delivered an amazing performance in the role. This is another thing that makes it tough to complain about the niece storyline; Harris is so good as Jamie and makes the character so endearing, I wouldn't want to trade her just to ditch the family element.
Jamie has been adopted by the Carruthers family and has a teenage foster sister, Ellie Cornell as Rachel, who is basically this film's good girl version of Laurie Strode. Cornell is another cast member who does a great job of bringing her character to life, making Rachel an exceptionlly likeable heroine.
Rachel is hoping to spend Halloween night with her boyfriend Brady (Sasha Jenson), but her parents are busy that night and the usual babysitter has a broken ankle, so she's roped into watching Jamie and taking her trick-or-treating. The first film had focused on babysitters, so much that it was conceived under the title The Babysitter Murders, so it's a nice touch that McElroy brought that idea back for this sequel. But also a remake-esque touch.
Also remake as hell is the side plot that sees Myers' psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), who also survived the fire at the end of II, making it out with nothing but a burned hand and a scarred cheek, following his patient's trail back to Haddonfield. Loomis does almost everything in 4 that he did in the first; he argues with the head of the sanitarium about their wreckless handling of Myers, he passes through the spot where Myers traded his hospital gown for a mechanic's jumpsuit, he reaches Haddonfield and recruits the assistance of the local sheriff, he reiterates to anyone who will listen that Myers is pure evil.
Myers' acquisition of the jumpsuit is a prime example of Halloween 4 repeating scenarios but reimagining them in a bigger, flashier manner. In Carpenter's film, Loomis simply found Myers' hospital gown hanging on a tow truck parked on the side of the road and didn't even notice the body of tow truck driver laying in the weeds nearby. In this sequel, we see Myers, his burned face wrapped in bandages, kill a mechanic in a body shop attached to a diner / gas station. Loomis then shows up to find the body of the mechanic, as well as a waitress in the diner - and witness Myers escaping the body shop by driving through the body shop doors and speeding off down the road, sparking an explosion on his way out of the lot that makes the gas pumps and Loomis's car go up in flames. We've gone from a body just laying in the weeds to a kill, multiple bodies, and things blowing up.
The destruction of Loomis's car slows the doctor down a bit, but also allows for a fun scene in which he catches a ride with the drunken Reverend Jackson P. Sayer (Carmen Filpi), who claims to be hunting damnation much like Loomis is. Filpi makes quite an impression with just a couple minutes of screen time.
There's something odd going on between Jamie and Myers. Ideally she would have no idea who he is, but the kids at school like to bully her and mock her for the fact that her parents are dead and her uncle is "the boogeyman". Still, it's clear how she would know what her killer uncle looked like wearing his classic mask, but she has nightmares about him, mask and all. (And of course he does score a fresh mask from the local pharmacy; it's strange that those would be sold in Haddonfield.) She also sees visions of him when he shouldn't be there, and when she checks a mirror to see how she would look wearing a clown costume, she sees the image of 6-year-old Myers, wearing the clown costume he was wearing when he killed Judith, staring back at her from the mirror. There seems to be some kind of psychic connection between these characters, something Halloween 5 will go much further with. That would explain why Myers has absolutely no problem finding this niece he has only just heard a quick reference to. This psychic connection is another thing I think I would usually take issue with, but it's not too obtrusive in the film, so it's another thing I can let slide. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of the film.
Before stalking Jamie through the streets of Haddonfield while she's trick-or-treating, Myers takes precautions to make sure his latest stalk and slash spree won't be disrupted. The explosion at the gas station severed the long distance phone lines, so that helps. He knocks out the electricity in the town by tossing a power company employee (Harlow Marks) - a fan favorite character largely because he has his name, Bucky, printed across his hard hat - into an electrical transformer. He even massacres almost every member of the Haddonfield police force in one off screen sequence. The bodies of the officers are found strewn around the police department after the fact.
Myers didn't count on a couple truckloads of redneck beerbellies stepping up to take the police's place, with the encouragement of Loomis, but he doesn't have much to worry about with that bunch. The most they accomplish is accidentally killing an innocent Haddonfielder named Ted Hollister.
One of the two survivors is the sheriff, Ben Meeker (Beau Starr), who earns cool points by being much more accommodating to Loomis than Sheriff Brackett was back in '78, although he has reason to, since Loomis was proven right ten years before. He and Loomis take Jamie and Rachel back to his house, where Brady happens to be, since he's cheating on Rachel with Meeker's daughter Kelly, a tall and busty girl played by Kathleen Kinmont of Hardbodies and Bride of Re-Animator. That love triangle adds some extra drama into the mix and gives us more reason to side with Rachel.
This all builds up to an epic chase sequence littered with murders that goes through the Meeker house, up onto the roof, over to the local grade school, and into a truck speeding through the Illinois countryside. The first movie just had Jamie Lee Curtis getting chased out of a house and across the street! And remember when Loomis shot Myers six times at the end of the original? That's nothing compared to what happens to the slasher at the end of part 4.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is my favorite Halloween aside from the first film, and while I'll always consider the '78 original the best, if I'm being honest... at this point, if I were given a choice of watching either the first or the fourth film, I'd probably more often choose the fourth. It's just a livelier movie, and it's of an era I am deeply nostalgic for, the '80s. The era of the best Halloween decorations ever.
4 is also the one that I feel, a resident of small town middle America, best captures the look and feel of Halloween in small town middle America. This is aided by the fact that it was shot in Salt Lake City, Utah rather than California like the previous three films, but it even looks better than Salt Lake sequels that were to follow. This movie just looks perfect. The cinematography may not be as stylish as Dean Cundey's, but Peter Lyons Collister certainly wasn't slacking.
That perfect Halloween tone is set right up front with the opening titles, which begin with shots of random farmland and Halloween decorations. I love the imagery here, and when paired with some moody music by composer Alan Howarth it becomes one of my all time favorite title sequences.
Like the first Halloween but different enough to stand apart, a great cinematic representation of the titular holiday, thoroughly '80s, and sporting likeable characters the viewer can root for, Halloween 4 is a well crafted and very entertaining sequel. After sitting out the third film, Michael Myers made a triumphant return.

CHICO — Whether a company was burned to the ground in Paradise, or operating normally in Chico, business owners should spend time thinking about how the future could change because of the Camp Fire.
"It's not the same business environment that we were in previously," said workshop leader and SCORE counselor Ken Albright of Chico. It doesn't matter if the business was untouched by the flames or has disappeared, there are considerations that business owners need to consider.
A new workshop planned by SCORE Chico will help with that thought process.
The workshop will be from 9:30 a.m. to noon Feb. 21 at the Old Municipal Building, 441 Main St., Chico.
There is no cost, but reservations are requested online by calling 530-342-8932 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
SCORE is a nonprofit program operating through the U.S. Small Business Administration, with help from the Chico Chamber of Commerce.
SCORE leaders have heard from the Paradise Ridge Chamber, Team Chico and others that small businesses impacted by the Camp Fire could use some guidance.
Albright revamped an earlier strategic planning workshop with an eye to recovering from this disaster.
Like a business plan, a strategic plan can help a business set its course or change it, Albright says.
"All existing businesses should have a strategic plan, but it needs to be updated, especially when something like this happens."
While any business can find takeaways from the presentation, it will be designed for businesses impacted by the Camp Fire.
Albright plans to give the group some basics for planning, and will introduce "SWOT" standing for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats to the strategizing.
"That's strengths and weaknesses —- what am I good at, what am I weak at? Has the fire created an opportunity or a threat to my business," Albright offered.
"From what we've experienced, there's a wide range of issues, from people — employees — leaving the area to the question 'Where did my clients go?'"
By way of example, Albright found one business' costs increased because deliveries were taking more time because of the increased traffic in Chico.
"They had to allow more time, so it cost more," he said, explaining the company now had to look at offsetting those costs.
Another area could be staffing. With people leaving to be with out-of-town family, staffs have shrunk but not the work demand.
"The employment situation has changed dramatically."
Albright said workshop attendees will walk away with tools to craft their strategic plan on their own. If they need more help, SCORE provides follow-up counseling sessions for no charge through the Chico Chamber, 891-5556.
"If they want someone to talk them through it., we can. We can make sure they're not missing anything. They can just make an appointment."
Albright said some of the SCORE counselors helped businesses in Redding after the Carr Fire.

In 2002, my husband Rob, our partners, and I found a 1920s ice factory on the edge of downtown Tucson in total disrepair. While most saw a blight to be demolished, we saw rich history and great "bones" to build on. After designing an ambitious sustainable re-development plan, we broke ground, both literally and metaphorically, by starting construction on Arizona's first residential loft conversion: the Ice House Lofts.
Our project saved over 3000 tons of existing concrete, 1,800 tons of bricks, 5 miles of wood siding and 3,600 feet of piping. And more importantly, we made big strides in slowing Tucson's sprawl by encouraging a low footprint, urban lifestyle, a philosophy we continued with numerous green re-developments around the downtown area including our net-zero office in an old auto repair shop.
By walking the walk on green living, I understand which actions will have a dramatic and meaningful impact on reversing Tucson's contribution to global warming and protect our precious desert ecosystem. My plan includes:
Smart Growth: Promote infill and density in the core and along the corridors. This will use less energy and water, while allowing residents to walk and bike to where they live, work and play
Accessible Sustainability: Work with Tucson Water to create an income-based sliding scale for rainwater harvesting so all Tucsonans can live sustainably.
Reimagining Spaces: Make it easier to repurpose old buildings, strip malls and big-box stores for new and creative uses.
Going Electric: Invest in electric car infrastructure and migrating our city and bus fleets to electric.
Improve Public Transit: Plan for an expansion of our Modern Streetcar and bus system so that we are shovel-ready when federal infrastructure funds become available.
Plant More Trees: Expand the Mayor's 10,000 Trees program, working with TEP and Trees for Tucson to increase access throughout the city.
Tucson should be leading by example on climate action, not waiting around for state or federal action that may never come. As Mayor, I pledge to prioritize and advocate for smart environmental policy. Concrete action, not just words.

The CryoVest Advantage
The icepacks are removable to minimise freezer space and the vest has been designed to remain dry throughout the cooling period. Cryovest offers slow release cooling and the design maximises the contact with the body. Other designs require the whole vest to be placed in the freezer. As a result the vest becomes wet when removed and quickly becomes smelly and mouldy. Freezer space during sporting competitions is often at a premium with athletes having very little access to freezer space in hotels etc.
Cryovest features:
- Made up of removable cold packs
- Remains dry throughout the therapy
- Upto 2 hours of cooling
- The long-lasting, non-aggressive cold allows direct skin contact with no risk of cryo burns
- Lightweight (less than 2 kilos, the lightest in the market)
- Comfortable with lumbar and dorsal support (100 mm elastic straps)
- Good weight distribution for improved comfort, and it is possible to change the weight of the vest according to the specific areas to cool.
- Ergonomic: easy to put on, to adjust rapidly, and doesn't impede movements during exercise.
Physical benefits of the CryoVest:
- Maintains a constant heart rate
- Stabilizes hydration
- Improved energy efficiency (+ 15.8%)
- Stabilizes the heart rate
- Gain of 7 BPM after 20 minutes
- Restores hydration faster
CryoVest incorporates proprietary 'First + Ice Technology' thermo regulation:
- Long duration cooling (approx 2 hours).
- Non-aggressive (temperature between 1 ° and 5 ° C), no risk of cryo burns.
- Remains flexible even when cold.
- Non-toxic
- Lightweight: +/- 180 grams for sizes 15 x 15 cm and +/- 360 grams for sizes 15 x 30 cm
Ice packs have a life time of 60-100 optimal uses (corresponding up to 200 usage hours). When the ice packs start becoming rigid, they have to be replaced.
When to use the CryoVest?
During training
Before: Wear the vest shirtless for 20-30 minutes before starting the activity.
During: Wear the vest shirtless at the beginning of training. (10 to 15 minutes)
After: Wear the vest shirtless for at least 20 to 30 minutes, just after the training and especially if the external climates conditions are more than 25°C.
During competition
Before: Wear the vest shirtless 20 to 30 minutes before the warm up or in the cloakrooms.
During: Depending on the sport, wear the vest during the first half or at least 10 minutes.

We have a simple taste- to deliver the very best.
Even before Web 2.0, we had the original 'social network'. While ours does not have 500 Mil people in it, we've got the leadership talent covered pretty well. Every single day for the past ten years, we have career counseled thousands of leaders, we don't just have connections into them, they know us well & count on us for valuable advice. We've painstakingly built this professional credibility & make every effort to enhance it, one leader at a time. No 'tricks in the bag' stuff, just a recipe with a 'no secret' blend of building relationships.
Oh no, our network only gives us the edge. Post the essential step of opportunity profiling- where we base & set the search parameters together with you (we simply don't work on job descriptions); we get to the actual work of identification. Extensive research is the 'software' of our firm & it determines our ability to target candidates, their quality, yield and speed of the search. We have the most potent direct search strategies to identify & map targeted talent. We revel in the opportunity to explore and research newer markets, finding the right leadership talent. Our researchers are trained even for the most obscure but crucial talent acquisition skills sets in order to find the perfect candidate. We do our homework well enough to come back to you with authoritative counsels on the market yield, skills set & other concomitant factors relevant to the search.
There's more to a position than what's on the posting, and there's more to our pitch than the narrative- We get your message out in the most formidable manner; the secret is in our ability to craft compelling value propositions which are specific to every search. We believe that ability to translate clients' needs into the language and goals of the people it seeks to recruit is an art in itself. Taking the time to understand and effectively reflect your firm, your message, your values and strategies not only helps us win over candidates, but hones in on the people most able to share your vision and carry your banner forward. We know what appeals to AAA talent, whether they're actively looking for a change or not, we make them see the value in talking to you.
Fundamental to the evaluation of the capabilities of any individual is the time-tested observation that past performance is the best predictor of future performance. Determining past performance and readiness to repeat that performance is part of what makes evaluation of people so fascinating. This determination is both an ART and SCIENCE- left brain & right brain impressions & they need to be in agreement to have a high probability of selecting the right candidate; Science of deploying strong candidate assessment skills, skillful use of a number of tools & disciplines and the art of understanding the nuances of the client organization & blending a new personality into that organization. Our right brain activity includes being creative by bringing out new ideas to every search, looking beyond the usual field of candidate access pool, sensitivity to understand your culture & the candidate's personality, intuition that helps us sense that crucial fitment & judgement which is a product of all other skills put together. If everything about a candidate looks good on paper (science) and you don't feel right about it (art), then something is still wrong. Without science, our performance will lack substance, without the art, it may still not yield good fits.
The last step of the process should be simple, right? Everyone's interested, and it's just a matter of ironing out the details. No, it's more complicated than it looks. Unfortunately, it's all too common for a great opportunity to fall apart at this stage & requires the most effective 'anchorage' at both ends. We 'handhold' this stage with utmost care & caution- ensure complete transparency & an unbiased counsel. Most often than not, we've been complemented for "taking the edge off a delicate situation". We make sure that prepare you well for the wedding & a lasting marriage !

Initially I tried to access disc files in CP/M using the file control blocks (FCB). It all worked very well, open the file, zero a record counter, set the DTA to my preferred address read a record (128 bytes) increment the record counter , test number of records read and exit or increment the buffer address and loop to the next record. This enabled me to put large image hex files in memory in the SOL-20 exactly where I wanted them.
I have now tried to do this in my 5155 computer in DOS 3.3 using the FCB method at least initially (I know its probably better to use the Xenix/Unix file handle system, which I will try later).The example of the file handle method I have in my books move sectors, and I want to read & move 128 byte records if possible.
But so far I have had no success trying to get a 61440 byte disk file to memory in DOS . Part of it might relate to memory segmentation and me not knowing how to deal with it. For example, to open a file or read a file the effective address of the FCB is held in ds,dx and that has to be in the PSP area where the FCB is. The DTA (data transfer area) is also defined by ds,dx. I have tried to reassign ds to 3000h (where I would like to put the data at 3000:0000) but pushing & popping ds doesn't work. I also tried a block move program from the effective address of the DTA to higher memory , but I couldn't get that working either.
The other interesting thing is that in the case of CP/M, you don't have to inform the system of any details of the FCB related to the file you want to read aside from the size, the function calls just use the FCB, but it appears in DOS, using the FCB system, that the calling program has to send a value for the current record which has a 20h address offset from the start of the FCB.
Any tips on doing this or 8088 assembly program fragments would help me.
