Swaragini – For The Longest Time (Episode 2)
He stared out the window, recollecting his past. He always thought that money could buy everything. There was nothing that Sanskar Maheswari could not afford. The hunger and passion that he possessed, to be the most powerful person and helped him achieve great heights. His ambition took him places; he had never imagined he would ever see. He never stopped learning, always took new lessons from every experience, and that is what kept him prepared for every situation.
He loved his family immensely and could do anything for them. He always made sure that he provided them with every luxury and kept them protected at all times, specially his younger brother. He was always thankful for their support at all times. The trust his father had shown in him, the first time he announced his ambition of wanting to start his own business, was overwhelming. The emotional support that his mom gave him at all times was more than her could ask for.
Sanskar Maheswari had it all and never thought he needed anyone else in his life; fate was going to prove him wrong on that cold winter evening, when he crossed path with that one person, who had entered his life to stay, forever. Swara Gadodia. She made him realise the emptiness in his life. She made him yearn for a companion. He fell in love with her simplicity; he fell in love with the way he could be himself with her. She made him believe in love, he found happiness in her. She entered his life like a breeze and then, she vanished from his life into thin air.
He made every possible attempt to trace her, but with no results. It was like searching for an oasis in middle of a dessert. But he had to find her at any cost; he had to tell her how sorry he was for breaking her heart, how sorry he was for hurting her. Over the years he came close to finding her, but somehow she managed to vanish again. It took him years to find her and when he did, he did not want to take a chance and lose her again. This time he was going to make everything alright, no matter what it takes.
His thoughts were interrupted by a phone call, the name Advocate Shaw flashed on the screen; "Hello Mr Maheshwari, the deal is done. Ms Gadodia has agreed to sign the acquisition papers and has accepted to all conditions" he informed Sanskar; "Thank you very much for helping me with this Mr Shaw. We'll sign the papers tomorrow at 10 am, at Ms Gadodia's office. Please inform them" he said and disconnected the call. It felt as though his heart might leap out of his chest, that is how happy he was.
This is it, he thought. Tomorrow after 5 years I will meet Swara and I will not let her go. Ever Again.

Does Angular Cheilitis Cream Work?An inflammatory skin lesion on the mouth's corners that often occur bilaterally, angular cheilitis is marked by deep cracks, crusts, and shallow ulcers that may bleed when the mouth is opened. Just by the sound of it, it's easy to imagine how painful and uncomfortable this ailment is. If you're suffering from it, you can quickly attest as to how this problem, which is also quite embarrassing, has taken a toll on the quality of your life.
Good thing, there are angular cheilitis creams available in the market. These are anti-fungal topical ointments that can be purchased over the counter. As you may know, this condition is often triggered by a fungus called Candida albicans. Killing these pathogens with 1 percent hydrocortisone or clotrimazole can help clear up the problem for good. And yes, it does work in most cases.
However, for some people, it doesn't. Or even if it does, it only alleviates the symptoms on a surface level and the entire problem recurs after a short period. There can be a number of reasons why the anti-fungal treatment is not working. For one, it's possible that the person has a very weak immune system that even if you manage to kill the fungi causing the problem, you're still prone to another case of fungal infection.
Also, it can happen that you didn't get rid of the very root cause of the problem. For example, if what's causing the fungal infection is your habit of biting your fingernails or whatever object you can get your hands on, then you can't expect to say goodbye to angular cheilitis for good until you ditch these habits. Or if you still keep on licking your lips, which only dries up your skin and gets more fungi or bacteria into the corners of the mouth, then the problem is most likely to recur.
In more severe cases, angular cheilitis may be caused by an underlying medical problem. Examples of these include Plummer-Vinson syndrome, Crohn's Disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and ulcerative colitis. When this is the case, even if you use countless anti-fungal creams, your angular cheilitis will not be eliminated until you have your medical condition treated. Getting immediate medical attention is a must.
Angular cheilitis creams do work. If they don't, that means you have another problem to solve beneath the fungal infection occurring on the corners of your mouth.

There's a certain horror film from the 1970s which became famous for the tagline "keep repeating, 'It's only a movie'," included in order to convince terrified patrons that it wasn't actually real. I can't help thinking that a similar tagline should be applied to Eurobeat, the Eurovision musical which has arrived in London's West End after a successful tour of the UK. As a Eurovision devotee, I was champing at the bit to see it – since there are certain aspects of this flamboyant spectacle which are so scarily accurate that the average fan of the contest may forget that the whole thing is in fact being staged purely for entertainment purposes. Think soap fans who become convinced their favourite EastEnders character has really died and you'll get the idea.
Eurovision has always been the kind of thing that lends itself to audience participation. It does at my house, where it's long been the tradition to have a big group of people round to watch the contest itself, poke fun at the bad songs, cheer on the good ones and then sulk when our favourites inevitably lose.
One year I even hit upon the idea of making each guest choose a country at the door, whom they would support during the course of the evening – so it came as something of a surprise to discover that the Eurobeat experience began at the theatre door, where patrons are invited to randomly select a badge which will be the country they will have to root for (Hungary, in my case; Russia for my companion). Could I have a plagiarism case on my hands? Somehow I doubt it. And audience participation (aided by clackers, flags and other merchandise) is actively encouraged as well as voting for your favourite song by mobile phone, with the results depending on the poll (it is a different winner every night, we're told).
Once the show actually begins, it's obvious that writers Craig Christie and Andrew Patterson have done their homework – with the likes of Sweden represented by a perky Abba-style quartet, the UK by a couple of chavvy singers with a pointless ballad, Iceland by a Bjork-alike singing a tuneless, meaningless song. Ten countries get to strut their stuff, while Les Dennis and Mel Giedroyc play the over-enthusiastic Bosnian hosts (but hold on, why no Bosnia and Herzegovina in the contest itself?). They yap away in multi-lingual double entendres and deliver a scarily accurate representation of your average mittel-European Eurovision presenter (see Tallinn 2002 or Kiev 2005 for further evidence).
There are certain anomalies here – Italy is represented, for example, when any Eurovision fan worth their salt knows they haven't participated since 1997. How about putting in "nul points" favourites Norway instead? Or metal-obsessed Finland? Or even Israel – given their dalliances with transsexuals on the Eurovision stage the possibilities are endless.
Like the real thing, it's all too easy to get drawn in to Eurobeat once the second act kicks in and the voting begins. There are ridiculous jurors to giggle at (Russia's fur-hatted spies acting in clandestine fashion, and Ireland's cross between a leprechaun and Gloria Hunniford are highlights), the odd bit of political voting, and even edge of the seat moments. Sadly it wasn't to be for Hungary and their fantastically silly folk song, but a fight to the death between Poland and Russia. In the end Russia, represented by a tight-trousered boy band and their comically straight-faced dance number Ice Queen, won it, in a competition that wound up being almost as tense as the actual contest.
I had to remind myself at this point – aided by my companion – that it was in fact only a show, and not the real thing at all. While it was on too small a scale to be quite as exciting as the big night itself, I still left with the same kind of buzz that your average Eurovision nut gets from watching a particularly good contest.
And as I pointed out on the way out, wouldn't it been nice if that had been the actual Russian song that won Eurovision this year?

Skip to comments.How We Bury the War Dead
Posted on 05/30/2010 2:29:03 AM PDT by GonzoII
The U.S. military didn't always bring home its dead. In the Seminole Indian Wars in the early 1800s, most of the troops were buried near where they fell. The remains of some dead officers were collected and sent back to their families, but only if the men's relatives paid all of the costs. Families had to buy and ship a leaded coffin to a designated military quartermaster, and after the body had been disinterred, they had to cover the costs of bringing the coffin home.
Today, air crews have flown the remains of more than 5,000 dead troops back to the U.S. since the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan began.
For those charged with bringing out the dead, it is one of the military's most emotionally taxing missions. The men and women of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command function as the nation's pallbearers, ferrying flag-draped remains to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware from battlefields half a world away.
The missions take a heavy toll on the air crews, but many of the pilots and loadmasters say their work is part of a sacred military obligation to fallen troops and their families. Air Force Capt. Tenaya Humphrey was a young girl when her father, Maj. Zenon Goc, died in a military plane crash in Texas in 1992. She remembers his body being flown to Dover before his burial in Colorado.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Read this thoughtful article about how the US buries its war dead, and then remember who's in the WH. Your heart will sink. He doesn't give two hoots about US soldiers, alive or dead. They're a tool he won't think twice about using against US citizens...seditionists (anyone speaking out against his regime) or 'religious zealots' like those 86 followers of David Koresh whom the Clintons and Janet Reno shot dead/burned alive. Plan A involves putting the US military under the control of the UN. Global governance/communism on the march with third world thugs in charge. But that's okay, Zero is a third world thug.
A first cousin I never knew, an 18-year-old Marine enlistee, was KIA on Okinawa in April, 1945. His remains were returned to the U.S. and buried in a National Cemetery in March, 1949. It took almost four years, but they brought him home to rest.
My father was in the 8th Air Force during WWII, got out for a year or two at war's end then reenlisted. He was immediately sent to South Korea by troop ship.
One of my mementos of him (he died in 1975) is a small note book he kept during the voyage. An entry mentions the ship calling at Okinawa to load U.S. war dead and how depressing it was to see GI coffins being craned aboard for their final voyage home...thousonds of them.
Had an Uncle (never knew him, I wasn't born yet) was killed on Iwo Jima, they buried him in the Punch Bowl cemetery in Hawaii.

BENEFITING: March of Dimes Foundation
ORGANIZER: Ken
EVENT DATE: Mar 17, 2011
Hey All,
I am helping raise money for a charity bike ride (5 days down the California coast at 100+ miles per day) that my brother is doing for the benefit of the March of Dimes. Background on this event is what he has written below. Note that while early 2010 was a rough one for he and Moriah, the two of them got married at the end of 2010 (Dec 30th) and currently have life by the horns/aerobars.
For more details on the ride itself or if anyone is interested in helping out (or even riding - but you'd have to be nuts!), check out their site at http://bit.ly/g83F5V
Ken Wallace wrote -
In March of 2011, a group of friends are riding our bicycles down the California Coast from San Francisco to Santa Monica to benefit the March of Dimes and to honor the memory of our little boy Wyatt Carroll Lewis-Wallace.
Wyatt was born via emergency C-section on April 19, 2010, 12 weeks premature. He fought for 5 hours and ultimately passed away due to anemia. We still don't know why this happened but it's a tragedy that highlights to Moriah and me that pregnancy and a healthy child birth is not a foregone conclusion. Part of our healing process is finding ways to help other families so that this type of tragedy can be avoided.
We're combining an epic few days of riding with friends to his birthplace as an avenue to raise money for premature births. Here's our plan.
3/17 - San Francisco to Monterey (120mi)
3/18 - Monterey to Cambria (110mi)
3/19 - Cambria to Los Olivos (100mi)
3/20 - Los Olivos to Santa Monica (130mi)
It will be a great and memorable event. Please support us and the March of Dimes!
The Team: $24,376 TOTAL RAISED SO FAR

HNHH premiere! watch episode 11 of Audio Push's "Inside The Vibe" tour vlog.
For the past eleven weeks, Audio Push have been sharing weekly vlogs from their "Inside The Vibe" nationwide tour. Today, the eleventh installment arrives, covering their time in Pittsburgh, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Watch it above.
The clip kciks of with Price relaxing and maintaining the vibe by playing some NBA 2K on a TV in the hotel room, but soon enough, it's back to business for him and Oktane. With the onstage work, though, comes some fun moments, like meeting and taking photos with fans, and sitting down for an interview at our very own HNHH office.

i need to make the disc opening a 1/2" wider, and maybe an extra shelf across the top for the bulk boxes of sanding belts. of course the whole thing would now have to be made of something much nicer than grey melamine, maybe some cherry ply with natural maple edging and a walnut inlay of a sander on the doors…....

You should consider expanding the size of the counter and making it a downdraft table for small and medium sized stuff. It would be very handy as part of your otherwise very nice system!

The OfficeServ SoftPhone is a software application that works on your PC, Laptop or PDA that gives you a full system phone connected to the OfficeServ system back in your office. It works in the same way as a physical IP phone, and can be used at any location that has connectivity to the Internet.

You will have full access to your, DDI calls, voicemail, Personal and system directories just as if you where in the office. All features that are available to you from your office phone are available in the same way on the SoftPhone.

There is also the option for a Add On Module (AOM) that can show 99 buttons, these can be configured as Busy Lamp Fields (BLF), feature access or speed dial access keys and are used in the same way as on a physical system phone. This allows you to configure the SoftPhone to have the minimum presence on your PC screen but with maximum functionality.

Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna Class of 2013 wide receiver-safety Zakary Zerquera continues to draw interest from major football powers.
On Wednesday night, Zerquera said he recently received mail from "Notre Dame, Florida and Georgia Tech."
At the Under Armour Underclassmen Combine in Davie in February, Zerquera had heard from Alabama, Clemson, Wake Forest and Northwestern.
He said he has not received any verbal offers yet.

Or will he?
A startling new documentary, Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison, goes straight to video — as only the finest films do — on Sept. 1. The film suggests that McCartney died in a 1966 car crash and that M15 (British Secret Intelligence Service) convinced the rest of the band to cover up his death in order to prevent Beatles fans from committing mass suicide.
OK, the whole stunt double thing does sound kind of far-fetched, although it would explain the likes of "Silly Love Songs," "Ebony and Ivory" and "The Girl Is Mine."
Meanwhile, the current McCartney, whoever he may be, played the White House last week, singing "Michelle" (get it?) and "Hey Jude," the latter accompanied by an all-star chorus that included Jack White, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris, Barack and Michelle Obama, and, of course, Jerry Seinfeld.
During the same ceremony, Obama gave the former Beatle a Library of Congress songwriting award, and McCartney said it's good to have a president who knows what a library is.
The comment immediately sent ripples of anger throughout the Republican blogosphere, including a guest column on Michelle Malkin's site in which the writer said he'd "rather have a president who knows what a terrorist is."
Such as the one who was struggling through My Pet Goat while those guys were flying airplanes into the World Trade Center.

Like clockwork, the latest figures on the state of the smartphone market from researcher Gartner are out. The theme continues to be that Android is the king of the smartphone hill.
The third-quarter data shows that Google
Source: Gartner press release.
Android now claims more than half of worldwide smartphone sales and now has more than triple that of iOS. A year ago, Android's slice was 25.3% compared with iOS's 16.6%. This past year has dramatically expanded Android's lead in the race.
The numbers mostly line up with the stats separately released by Nielsen earlier in the year, which also pegged Android's market share near half. What this latest batch doesn't play nicely with is Gartner's own premonition that Windows Phone 7 will overtake iOS as soon as 2015. Microsoft's share was nearly sliced in half over the past year, falling from 2.7% in Q3 2010 to just 1.5%.
When it comes to vendor ranking, Nokia
What Apple lacks in market share, it more than compensates in profits. According to figures from Canaccord Genuity analyst T. Michael Walkley, Apple's share of profits in the sector is estimated at 52%, despite its roughly 4% market share. On top of that, it's almost guaranteed that Apple's average selling price (ASP) for iPhones will jump and expand margins further.
Last year, Apple's iPhone ASP was $650 at a time when its retail prices were $599 and $699 for 16 GB and 32 GB flavors, respectively. This year's model has seen its retail prices jump to $649, $749, and $850 with the addition of a 64 GB model, and they're flying off shelves, leading me to estimate ASPs approaching $750.
Android's Ice Cream Sandwich looks pretty delectable and should give Android OEMs plenty of ammo in the war, while RIM's rapid decline needs no introduction.
At this rate, it seems like iOS may never catch up in the market-share game. At least it's still winning the profit-share game.

LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - A stronger dollar increased pressure on some emerging currencies on Monday with the Turkish lira and stocks suffering as the latest concerns over Ankara's relationship with Washington compounded the weaker global backdrop.
The dollar sailed to the highest level in more than two weeks, still enjoying a boost from U.S. President Donald Trump and Republicans clearing a hurdle on tax reforms last week and speculation over who will take over at the helm of the Federal Reserve.
"We are seeing increasing pressure on emerging market currencies and that is likely to continue over the near term as we still have a lot of speculation regarding who will succeed Janet Yellen at the Fed," said Phoenix Kalen at Societe Generale.
"That is weighing on investors' minds, alongside the strength of the dollar that's coming from expectations of fiscal and tax reform."
The Chinese yuan fell against the U.S. dollar after a weaker midpoint fixing while Mexico's peso weakened 0.2 percent.
But Turkey's lira and South Africa's rand - both seen as vulnerable to U.S. interest rate rises due to current account deficits - were the hardest hit, weakening for a second straight session.
Losses in the lira of more than 1 percent came after Turkey's banking regulator urged the public on Saturday to ignore rumours about financial institutions in an apparent dismissal of a report that some banks face billions of dollars of U.S. fines over alleged violations of Iran sanctions.
"Given the level of tensions with the U.S., the market is still sceptical about this denial," said Inan Demir at Nomura.
"The numbers mentioned are large...the largest fine mentioned was $5 billion and that would be a very large fine in comparison to any bank's equity in Turkey."
Relations between NATO allies Washington and Ankara have been strained by a series of diplomatic rows. Meanwhile U.S. authorities have hit global banks with billions of dollars in fines over violations of sanctions with Iran and other countries in recent years.
Adding to the woes was data on consumer confidence, which showed an increasingly pessimistic outlook.
Turkish stocks also took a tumble, slipping 0.8 percent while MSCI's emerging market benchmark was flat on the day.
Meanwhile in Argentina, candidates allied with President Mauricio Macri enjoyed sweeping victories in Sunday's mid-term election, strengthening his position in Congress while dimming prospects for a political comeback by his predecessor Cristina Fernandez.
Investors have said they want to see Macri push through labour and tax reforms aimed at lowering business costs in Latin America's third-biggest economy. But they have been worried about a political resurgence by Fernandez, loved by millions of low-income Argentines helped by generous social spending during her administrations.

Rusty dear,
I do like that picture. And I hope for all of our sakes that the good Lord listens and doesn't build that plant.

Hello Rusty. I can tell you where that picture came from. It came from the following website, a "church sign generator" :
So, in other words, it's not real.
I've always thought these generated signs were pretty funny. Still, I've hesitated to use them myself. I'm certainly as imperfect as the next guy, but I've always had concerns over honesty (what's that, the 9th Commandment?) and taking the Lord's name in vain (the 3rd?). My understanding is that the traditional interpretation of "not taking the Lord's name in vain" is not so minimalist as to only include those who use God's name as if it were a curse word; rather, it also includes those who would use Him to further their own agendas.
I'm not trying to pass judgement on you, as I know you all have good intentions. I just thought I would share my concerns were I to post a similar picture. I believe the Lord has a good sense of humor - I'm just saying that it seems a fine line to me.
Best wishes,

You guys really stink if you are resorting to this. These signs are completely fake, therefore you website has zero credibility.
Why not photoshop some photos of folks doing illegal things? What is the difference?

Hey, guys, I really like some of the stuff here, but this is going too far. You need to remove this now. It will only discredit you and our cause. Thanks.

Yet few of the current Irish bishops are young, and it has been more than three decades--since the end of the Second Vatican Council--since young men of Irish descent entered the Catholic priesthood in disproportionate numbers to their percentage of the American Catholic population. The once-dominant Irish are in the process of fading out as the face of American Catholicism. Yes, they have achieved astonishing success in business and the professions since World War II, and they still play an instrumental role in the American Catholic Church's fundraising efforts. But as the 21st century moves forward, Latinos are already taking the place of the Irish as the group whose traditions--and faith--will define the American Church over the coming decades.
What happened to the Irish? The short answer is that their Catholic fervor fell victim to their material success. The distinctively Irish nature of American Catholicism for so many years was partly due to sheer numbers: More than 2 million Irish Catholics fled to the United States between the potato famine of the 1840s and the U.S. Civil War, and millions more immigrated here afterward.
But there was another factor: a sense of besiegement by a dominant Protestant culture that engendered a strong feeling of group identity among the Irish and strong religious loyalties. Persecuted for their Catholicism in their native Ireland, the immigrants retained a fierce devotion to the faith of their ancestors. Unlike the Italians (also Catholics and also immigrants in droves to America), whose culture contained a streak of anticlericalism dating from the beginning of the 19th century, the Irish wholeheartedly encouraged their young men to become priests, and they regarded the clergy as the true leaders of an embattled community. They brought this devotion with them when they crossed the Atlantic, along with a feeling that they had been expelled from their homeland in some sense because, as Catholics, they were denied basic rights by an oppressive Protestant elite.
The Irish thus quickly came to dominate the American priesthood, and those priests often reflected their community's assumption that the outside world was hostile and threatening. Their worldview found its expression in the eight-foot walls that surrounded old Saint Patrick's Cathedral in downtown Manhattan, the still-standing predecessor of the tourist attraction on Fifth Avenue. The Civil War-era prelate of that church, the Irish-born Bishop John Hughes, was a powerful leader of his people who spearheaded the drive to build the far grander edifice that is today's St. Patrick's so that the Irish could take pride in their religious heritage. Like so many of his Irish successors in America, Hughes believed in Catholic self-segregation from mainstream American culture. He and his successors over the decades built the huge infrastructure of Catholic schools and hospitals, a veritable parallel Catholic universe of social services which, ironically enough, now serve mostly poor non-Catholics in America's large cities.
In the early '60s, three events coincided that both marked the zenith of Irish influence over American Catholicism and hastened its decline. The election of John F. Kennedy as president in 1960 did more than heal the wounds of his fellow Irish Catholic Al Smith's defeat in 1928. It ended that distinctively Irish sense of eternal siege that had prevailed since the first days of post-famine immigration. With the urbane, Harvard-educated Kennedy at America's helm, its mainstream Protestant culture no longer seemed as hostile, as unwelcoming, to the Irish as it had for the better part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. With Kennedy in the White House, the spirit of Hughes could rest easy.
Even as Kennedy took the oath of office, another transforming event was under way in the urban parishes the Irish clergy once ruled with the authority of Gaelic chieftains. The Irish began leaving the old neighborhoods for the promise of the suburbs, where the old sense of identity, of social cohesion, of a shared communal spirit, quickly shattered.
And then came Vatican II, which put the finishing touches on the old Catholic religion ways--such as unquestioning obedience to the clergy--ways that the Irish in America had defined, implemented, and mastered. In a matter of a few years, all the certainties of American Catholicism as the Irish understood them no longer seemed so certain. Priests no longer were the ultimate authority figures; they would now share at least a portion of their power with the lay people of the parish. The ecumenical spirit of Vatican II made Irish-Catholic suspicion of Protestant America politically incorrect. (Many Catholics of a certain age no doubt recall warnings from their Irish parish priest never to cross the threshold of a Protestant church, even in the unlikely event that they were invited to a Protestant wedding.)

Most Helpful Guy
I heard US colleges are Nuts as hell with parties all the time so id imagine they are just wanting to enjoy the single, get laid every night period they have in college why they have it for probably the only time in their lives.
But in the UK, Our colleges are very much like a more Mature High School, And if your college is like that, Id imagine its just because the guys are more preoocupied with their studies and wanting to make the most out of their college oppurtunity and not fk it up by prioritizing girls.
Big culture difference i guess, Take your pick ;)

Sao Paulo (Brazil): World Champion Viswanathan Anand suffered a rare loss, going down to Vassily Ivanchuk of Ukraine in the third round of the fourth Bilbao Final Masters.
After two fighting draws, Anand did not achieve much in the opening as white, and once his position worsened Ivanchuk played in machine-like fashion to force a victory.
It was in fact a day of the underdogs in the Final Masters as World number one Magnus Carlsen of Norway also suffered a shock defeat at the hands of low ranked Francisco Vallejo Pons of Spain.
The other game of the category-22 event between Levon Aronian of Armenia and Hikaru Nakamura of United States ended in a draw.
After his second successive victory, Ivanchuk shot in to sole lead with seven points. Overnight joint leader Aronian, meanwhile, slipped to the second spot with five points, enjoying a two-point lead over nearest rivals Nakamura and Vallejo Pons.
Carlsen and Anand are currently languishing at the bottom of the tables with just two points that came from two draws in the first two rounds.
The 42-year-old Ivanchuk came to Sao Paulo after a gruelling World Cup that lasted three weeks, and so far he has maintained the high level that he showed there.
Ivanchuk had finished third in the World Cup, which gave him a seat in the next world championship cycle.
It was not Anand`s day as the Ukrainian went for the Jaenisch variation in the Ruy Lopez that is recently gaining momentum thanks to the exploits of Azeri Teimour Radjabov.
The middle game saw Anand allowing an easy equality and then Ivanchuk came on top with thematic central breakthrough.
Anand reached a queen and minor piece endgame after losing a pawn and that was enough for Ivanchuk to force matters.
Towards the end, Anand found many resources but Ivanchuk displayed excellent skill and patience to romp home in 69 moves.
Carlsen was quite unlucky as he let go a won position against Vallejo. Starting off with a Pirc defence, Carlsen did everything right for the major part of the game and gained space with some finely crafted manoeuvres.
Pons fell under time pressure too and it looked all over for the Spaniard when suddenly Carlsen dropped a piece and had to resign after 42 moves.
"I got a pleasant position from the opening. He probably played inaccurately at some point. It became huge, almost wining advantage. At one point I wasted too much time trying to find a forced win. Then I... blundered a piece very simply. I don`t know if you can call it an optical illusion or whatever," Carlsen said after the game.
Aronian and Nakamura discussed the intricacies of a Slav Fianchetto where the former played black. Maintaining a level position for a long time, Nakamura eventually signed peace after 46 moves.

Could Labour's Corbyn Actually Win the British Elections? | The Nation
Theresa May seems to shrink by the day, with her lead now in the single digits, while Corbyn has found his voice. So goes the headline. A guest post by Mustang gives us his thoughts on the matter:
British Elections
British elections are nothing if not fascinating. At present, elections are in full swing, with voting to occur on 8 June. While I am not at all surprised leftists vying for control of the House of Commons, I am amazed that a leading labor contender has any hope at all gaining a position in Parliament.
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the labor movement and a former leader of the opposition is one of those leftists who despite communism's horrendous track record continues to embrace policies guaranteed to destroy a nation's economic viability and social stability. What makes Corbyn an astonishing study is that for a time, he was not even able to maintain the confidence of other important labor leaders. In 2016, labor MPs passed a vote of no confidence [in Corbyn] (172 to 40), but within a few months Corbyn did retain his party's leadership with 62% of the House's labor vote. Corbyn's record is one that leaves me scratching my head.
Writer Kate McCann recently told us in the Daily Telegraph, "Labour has drawn up a secret plan to allow thousands of unskilled migrants to enter the UK following Brexit." Corbyn intends to reinstitute a visa scheme that allows unskilled workers to move to the United Kingdom —where they will compete with British workers in such areas as farming and industrial production. No doubt the long-term plan, if this arrangement is ever re-implemented, will set the stage for wage increases, growth of minority populations, and raising the cost of goods and services to consumers. Increased prices will curtail spending, and this in turn will increase levels of middle class unemployment.
My conclusion is that Corbyn's plan is no more than an assault upon the middle class, which in any civilized society is the engine of a vibrant economy.
Corbyn's background is probably typical of those involved with the so-called progressive movement: he became entranced with socialist ideals and the British labour movement while still a young lad and has been stuck on stupid ever since. As an aside, I think we ought to dispense with such terms as "progressive" because the word suggests something other than what it is. Again, turning to the man who would know, Vladimir Lenin instructed us, "The purpose of socialism is communism." In this sense, Corbyn has much in common with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders: he has never seen a mass-murdering communist he didn't adore.
The question remains: who in their right mind would vote for a man like this to represent them in Parliament, and why would any middle-class voter support an avowed communist? The answer probably lies, as it does in the United States, in how much free stuff Corbyn is willing to offer in exchange for votes. My bet is that large numbers of minorities living in the UK will turn out for more free stuff. Again, where does all this inane thinking originate? Schools? At church? From consuming stagnant water?
As I said earlier, British elections are fascinating; I'll be watching the results of the upcoming competition with interest.

I went to Orta in Pembroke Saturday night. We started with a stuffed eggplant appetizer and rice balls. Both were sub par. The eggplant was chewy and the rice balls were flavorless. We had a glass of Cabernet before the main course came. It was extremely bland. One of the worst glasses of wine I have had in MA ever.
I had a gnocchi dish for the main course and my wife had a butternut squash ravioli dish. The gnocchi had some kind of pesto sauce. I think pesto is one of the most flavorful sauces out there. Somehow Orta was able to remove all flavor from the dish. Quite a feat in my opinion.
I tasted my wife's ravioli dish. Somehow the flavor was removed from there as well.
The atmosphere was nice and the service was great.
Overall I give it a C-. If the waiter was not so nice I would have given it a D.
I would have been better off going to Burger King. I don't even like Burger King but at least I would have gotten what I expected.
I don't care what anybody says on this site. I will never go back to Orta.

When should federal changes be reported to Ohio?
Reporting federal changes. If amendments or adjustments to the taxpayer's federal income tax return by the taxpayer or by the Internal Revenue Service affect the taxpayer's Chapter 5745 municipal income tax liability, the taxpayer must report such change to the Ohio Department of Taxation in the form of an amended municipal income tax return by the earliest of the following dates:
· One year after final determination of the adjustment for federal income tax purposes;
· One year after the taxpayer paid the additional federal income tax as a result of the adjustments (whether or not the adjustment was agreed to); or
· One year after the taxpayer received a federal income tax refund as a result of the adjustment.
This provision applies even if the three-year statute of limitations has passed and applies to amended returns that reflect overpayments as well as to amended returns that reflect underpayments.

Florida woman posing as doctor charged in buttocks injection death
MIAMI – A South Florida woman posing as a doctor has been charged with manslaughter after authorities say she pumped unknown substances into a patient's buttocks during enhancement surgery.
Broward County Sheriff's deputies say Oneal Morris went to the victim's house and injected her buttocks, hips, thighs and breasts with an unknown substance. Morris allegedly sealed the injection sites with super glue and cotton balls.
The victim, 32-year-old Shatarka Nuby, died in March in Tallahassee. An assistant medical examiner said she suffered "massive systemic silicone migration" from the injections.
Morris was arrested Thursday. She was charged last fall with practicing medicine without a license with serious bodily injury after several victims came forward.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to an email.

Gorgeous, romantic and peaceful fully appointed and luxurious 3bd/3bath private log home near dorset with front porch and 2 rear decks (one with hot tub!) with beautiful gardens, river and creeks, forest and meadows. Can sleep 6 (additional charge for more) there's 3 proper bedrooms plus a sleeping loft all with queen sized beds.
The Space
The front door opens to a grand, high ceiling, light filled great room, with its generous living room with 2 couches, wood stove, dining area and well appointed kitchen are all in one space. So whomever's cooking still gets to enjoy the views, the light, the vermont castings wood stove crackling and the company of the other guests. There's the Master bedroom and bath that opens off the great room, upstairs to a 2nd bedroom and full bathroom and extra sleeping loft/library. down in the basement is the tv den, and off that is bedroom 3, the music room (basement is fully exposed in rear, so there's 2 windows in the basement bedroom, you won't feel like you're in a basement!)
Guest Access
The house is full of great books, records and a DVD/VHS collection for your use. (There's no cable or satellite hookup, but there is wifi if you'd like to stream your favorite shows on your laptop, and I can point you in the direction of sports bars if there's a game you'd like to watch). There's yoga mats and props for those who wish to practice on their vacation. Additionally, I'm a former professional chef - so Memorial Day til Columbus Day if my schedule allows, I can provide full B&B service for an additional charge, and stock the fridge with food and snacks and make you one truly excellent meal per day (your choice for when and what).
This is my real life home, (though I've cleared all drawers and surfaces for you) and it is decidedly not child-proofed and I mostly will not be available to put my breakables and valuables out of reach. The wood stove is exposed to curious hands, the upstairs loft is open with just a small railing separating. So it may not be the best choice for visitors with very small children. I can recommend other great choices nearby if you message me.
Interaction with Guests
I live most of the year in New Orleans, so outside of email and phone calls if you need something, from Oct 1 - May 20th I won't be personally available to greet you. There's contacts for the housekeeper and a handyman and some emergencies (though of course, contact me first if you just have a question). Summer and early Fall I will likely be staying in a summer shack in the back acres of the property across the river, and can be as available or not as you'd like. I do need to take care of the garden some if you're there for more than a few days in the summer. You will reap the benefits of any seasonal bounty in the way of fresh cut flowers, herbs and vegetables!
The Neighborhood
This corner of southern Vermont is a locavore's paradise. Award winning cheese farm, Consider Bardwell, is just up the road – stop by, play with the goats and stock up on truly amazing goat and cow cheese. Raw milk and eggs and excellent pies are available at the farm next door (Wayward Goose). There's great farmer's markets all year round, stock up on grain fed, organic eggs, meat and poultry, other excellent local cheeses and seasonal vegetables and fruits. There's apple and berry picking in season all round as well. (And a ton of berries on the rail trail and apples on my 3 apple trees in season). For restaurants, shopping, activities outside the house -Saratoga Springs is an hour away, Dorset is 20 minutes distance, Manchester is 30 minutes away. Stratton/Bromley ski areas are about 50 minutes drive.
Other Things to Note
All appliances - dishwasher, hot tub, washer/dryer. in addition - wifi, national free long distance calling via land line (your cell likely won't work there), and a few sets of x-country skis (mostly ranging from Men's 8 1/2 to men's 10 1/2. sorry - big footed family!)
I'm a professional musician and writer. There's no piano in the house, though there likely will be by mid summer. If an artist, musician or writer would like to come up solo for a creative retreat, message me privately and we'll work something out. It's a great place to create. I'll even hide the internet router so you're not tempted to distraction. The walls are all wood, everything you sing sounds great in there.
Please no smoking inside the house. No pets. Be kind to my books, records, vintage kitchen implements etc.

In trying to marginalise the sociology of scientific knowledge into its own little ghetto, Steven Weinberg ("A zing of truth", THES, January 6) asserts what he takes to be a forceful analogy -- that no one would write a book about mountaineering called Constructing Everest.
Of course one could write such a book and it would demonstrate the very issue that Weinberg (dis)misses: the class and nationality basis in the rise of Alpinism in the 19th century: the nationalistic rivalry in the conquest of physically remote sites; the romantic failure of Mallory and Irvine; the British triumph ushering in a New Elizabethan Age; the creation of a whole sub-technology devoted to high altitude climbing, etc, etc. Everest is nothing so simple as just a very high mountain. Indeed, The THES seems to recognise this, since in the same issue you have a picture of Everest captioned "Summit of ambition".

What should happen is that the ECU sets the status to ON when the engine starts, then monitors the output from the sensor. If it doesn't see a proper signal after about 80 seconds it switches the status to OFF. So there were 2 things wrong: The status started at OFF; the sensor never really started working.
However, I had just redone the exhaust join upstream of the sensor and, although the sealant was supposedly sensor-safe, I wasn't convinced it hadn't coated the sensor, so I was hoping that a good run would burn off the containment and then on a second run it would all start working again.
So out for a good run and this was the result:
So it was nice to see that the status started at ON. And also I had been a pessimistic as it seems the contaminant burnt off very quickly and the sensor started to work. What was a surprise was that the ECU left the status at ON for over 2 mins with a non-working sensor. Never seen that before.
Still, nice that everything is working.

Thai is a tone language with five phonemic tones. High-quality tape recordings of five monosyllabic words produced by 2 esophageal, 1 electrolaryngeal, and 5 normal, native Thai speakers were subjected to perceptual and acoustic analysis. Results from the phonemic identification tests indicated that tones produced by alaryngeal speakers were not only perceived at much lower levels of accuracy than those produced by normal speakers, but the patterns of tonal confusions for alaryngeal speakers were also dissimilar to those for normal speakers. Results from fundamental frequency (Fo) analysis revealed that the performance deficit of alaryngeal speakers could be related to specific characteristics of their Fo contours. Findings are interpreted to highlight the importance of (a) language, (b) type of prosody, (c) form of alaryngeal speech, and (d) Fo level and direction on linguistic assessments of Fo control in alaryngeal speech.

Answer: If the process is executing a system call, then it ``knows'' that control is going to be transferred, so it can save the return value of the PC before doing the call. In the case of an interrupt, the process doesn't know that the transfer will occur, and it won't work to have the interrupt handler code save the value of the PC, because, by the time it's gotten to the interrupt handler, the PC is, of course, pointing to the interrupt handler. So the saving of the PC has to be done at a lower level than the standard execution cycle. 1
Answer: The placement problem arises in the case when a process enters and there is more than one consecutive block of free space large enough to hold the process. The problem is to have a policy for choosing one of these blocks.
Answer: First fit; Best fit; Circular first fit.
Answer: In a paging system, the frames occupied by a single process do not need to be consecutive. Therefore, the choice of frames makes no difference. As long as there are enough free frames for the process pages needed, these can be used wherever they are located in memory.
Trace the evolution of the system. You should ignore the time required for a context switch. The time required for process P to block is the actual clock time between the time that P blocks and the time that it unblocks, regardless of anything else that is happening.
Time Running process Events 0-50 A B enters at time 10. C enters at time 20. 50-100 B 100-120 C C blocks until time 200. 120-130 A A blocks until time 230. 130-150 B B blocks until time 190 150-190 Idle B unblocks at time 190 190-210 B C unblocks at time 200. B terminates at time 210 210-260 C A unblocks at time 230. 260-270 A A terminates at time 270. 270-280 C C terminates at time 280.
Answer: A Transition Lookaside Buffer is a very fast, small, associative memory device. The TLB holds pairs of page numbers and the associated frame numbers for pages very recently accessed. "Associative memory" means that the device is given the page number and immediately returns the associated frame number, rather than having to search through the pairs. This is important, since the TLB has to be extremely fast, as the translation from page number to frame number has to be done at each memory reference.
Semaphores S and T are initially both equal to 1. Process A Process B DOWN(S) DOWN(T) DOWN(T) DOWN(S) Critical section of A Critical section of B UP(T) UP(S) UP(S) UP(T)
Answer: The two processes cannot be in their critical section simultaneously. Suppose that A executes DOWN(S) before B does. B can only get to its critical section after it executes DOWN(S). B can only proceed past the execution of DOWN(S) after A has executed UP(S), which is not until after A has completed its critical section.
Answer: Yes. Suppose that A executes DOWN(S), is preempted, and B executes DOWN(T). Then when A is continued, it will execute DOWN(T) and block; when B is continued, it will execute DOWN(S) and block. Neither can proceed until the other executes an UP, so they are deadlocked.

Students considering a family social science degree will have new options for fall 2017. Following a redesign of the curriculum, the Department of Family Social Science has created three concentrations for the family social science undergraduate major that create clear career paths for students interested in improving the lives of diverse families.
"We wanted to help students focus and create a roadmap to careers or an advanced degree in family social science," said Lynne Borden, department head. "It's a degree that gives students a great multidisciplinary foundation with the opportunity to be mentored by some of the country's top researchers in the field."
Family social science degree concentrations
The family and community engagement concentration is designed for students aspiring to work directly with families in community settings. The family therapy option prepares students for entry-level clinical positions or for advanced study in marriage and family therapy or a practitioner certification, such as the parent education teaching license. The family financial studies concentration is designed for students who are interested in becoming a family financial counselor or coach or other similar career paths.
"Our alumni use their FSoS degrees in a variety of careers," said Jodi Dworkin, associate department head, professor, and extension specialist. "Alumni are working as mortgage counselors for banks, program case managers at non-profits and in a variety of teaching positions in K-12 education and in the community."
For more information contact Jill Trites, director of undergraduate studies, or visit the FSoS website.
