Where is /dev/sdb6, which was /home?
I can't deal with this tonight. I can't feel too discouraged, after escaping from the botch-install hell of the last couple of days. Maverick looks and feels GREAT! It's just bizarre to have no settings, and no content whatsoever, not even my old backup. Amarok is lonesome with no music.
Maco asks, in IRC, if the partition is still on the harddisk, which of course has been my question.
sudo fdisk -ltells me:
Disk /dev/sda: 400.1 GB, 400088457216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000c403c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2432 19530752 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2432 48642 371178497 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2432 2918 3905536 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 2919 48642 367271936 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 7958 MB, 7958691840 bytes 245 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15190 * 512 = 7777280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ee8a7 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 1023 7769654 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(1023, 244, 62) logical=(1022, 244, 62)
At this point,
sudo blkid /dev/sda6to get the UUID for /dev/sda6, which says:
/dev/sda6: LABEL="home" UUID="1e3555c0-f248-446e-a9a7-6a42ab95eced" TYPE="ext4"Yay! It's still there on the disk, still with it's nice label. Thanks, Thomas!
Now it's time to edit fstab, and add the line:
UUID=1e3555c0-f248-446e-a9a7-6a42ab95eced /home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
I did that by using Kate, which is somewhat unorthodox, but it's what I like.
kdesu katethen append the line above, save as fstab. Finally, I moved my present $HOME in case I need some of the settings or files from the last few days.
sudo mv $HOME /oldhomeand then restart. Let's see if it works!
I want to report success! My /home is all happy, and my /oldhome dotfiles mostly copied back over. This time around, Chromium built OK, and I'm actually editing this blog in it now. Hallelujah, Maverick rocks! If I can build Amarok from source again, I'll be in heaven.
PPS: Amarok built without a hitch!

With nearly 13,000 members and over 4,000 volunteers, they cover a large area with Bristol in the centre of the County. From Weston Super Mare in the south to the villages surrounding Thornbury, South Gloucestershire in the North.
Completing both design and build, the website is now built in WordPress. We completed an Eventbrite integration - pulling data from their Eventbrite daily and populating events calendar on site & "Find Scouting Near You" which is a postcode lookup and finds locations where there is a scout hut within a set mile radius with accompanying information.
On behalf of Avon Scouts, I would like to thank Creative Steam and in particular Russ Forster (Web Developer) for their design and support of our new County website www.avonscouts.org.uk. Russ in particular has been of immense help, supporting, guiding, training and encouraging us at all times. Launching a website for a volunteer organisation is some respects is very similar to a commercial business in regards to the order, process and implementation. However volunteers do not work 9-5, they work out of business hours and don't get paid for their volunteering, so to get every stakeholder together, to agree has been the biggest challenge we faced - however throughout it all, Russ remained focused, calm and supportive. Thank you.

I said I would write about natural scenting, but this came to my attention today and it is shocking beyond belief, so I will share this with you:
US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875). There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening. Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales. If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.
The name of this outrageous food plan is: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).
BUT this is not all. This all derives from something called the Codex Alimentarius that was launched in 1962 and since then has grown to be a multiheaded power of its own – concerning the whole world – not only the countries that are members.
I have been researching all morning and this is some scary business. Take a look at this video, it is part 1 of 5, the rest you will find on youtube. This lady, Dr. Rima Laibouw, explains the Codex Alimentarius very well, but please do your own research on the internet.
Also you can check out this site:
It might look like it's just the USA, but it isn't. Big parts of the world are involved in this. Maybe it is time to stop being complacent and start asking some serious questions.

Sadly I don't have any pictures of the actual weekend, but about a year ago I went for a daytrip to the beach, and it was so nice that we ended up staying for another night and day. One of those completely impromptu things, but one of the nicest and most relaxed weekends I can remember for a really really long time. This was the dress I wore that day and everytime I see it in the wardrobe it reminds me.
|shorts: clothing at tesco // horse print blouse: miso (republic)
|leggings, boots: primark
What did I tell you about this pair of shorts - they seem to be the only thing I end up taking outfit photos in recently. I do wear other things, honest!I just fancied wearing this horse print blouse as it fell out of the wardrobe when I was trying to get something else, and I realised I hadn't worn it for a while.
As it was a rainy, miserable day I layered the shorts with leggings and boots - I'll be so cross when these boots wear out, they were so cheap from Primark and have seen me through so many miserable days! I sometimes think I shouldn't wear them as often so as to prolong their life - does anyone else do that?

Police officer who shot Anthony Heffernan in Calgary motel may face murder charge
ASIRT recommended murder charge after 27-year-old shot by police at Super 8, victim's brother says
Alberta's police watchdog is "pressing hard" for murder charges against a Calgary police officer who killed a young man causing a disturbance in a motel room in 2015, the victim's brother says.
The same officer was one of three to fatally shoot another man in a wheelchair who engaged in a shootout with police in January 2016.
Anthony Heffernan, 27, died in March 2015 after police forcibly entered the Super 8 motel room where he was staying.
Police described him as agitated and in "medical distress" and said they were confronted with a "high-risk situation" once inside.
He was shot four times — including three to the head, according to family.
- MORE POLICE NEWS | Calgary break-ins: Check out how often thieves hit your 'hood
- MORE POLICE NEWS | Young Alberta man killed trying to stop thieves from stealing his truck
On Thursday, Anthony's brother Grant Heffernan told CBC News that the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has told his family it has recommended murder charges.
"ASIRT is pressing hard," he said.
He said the news is helping his family recover.
"I feel a little better about it," Grant Heffernan said. "We were very skeptical about ASIRT and any officer being charged."
Heffernan says his family talks weekly with ASIRT and will know by May 1 whether the Crown decides to lay charges.
"It's officially out of their hands now."
He says a recent case in Toronto where a police officer was found guilty of attempted murder, gives the family hope.
"This was groundbreaking for us to hear. I think it is going to help our case," Heffernan said.
"We give the police a lot of rights to protect us and to serve us … but they have to be held accountable."
Police declined to comment on the ASIRT investigation but said no homicide charges have ever been laid against a Calgary police officer.
ASIRT has not responded to requests for comment.

Plate Bending Rolls and Slip Rolls are used for forming cylindrical shapes from sheet metal and steel plate. Many commonly used products such as tanks and other curved metal items are formed on new and used bending rollers. Various designs and configurations have been employed to form metal on bending rolls. Over time, bending rolls have evolved from exclusively pyramid and initial type to include various 3-roll and 4-roll designs. Today, they can be hydraulically or mechanically driven, whereas they were only driven mechanically in the past.
3-Roll Benders come in several different configurations. The most common are Initial Type, Pyramid Type, and the more modern Hydraulic Double Pinch machine. Sometimes the smaller 3-Roll Benders are referred to as slip rolls.
Initial Type Bending Rolls can also be described as single pinch rolling machines. Two of the three rolls are positioned with one of the rolls exactly above the other (referred to as the top and bottom rolls). The top and bottom rolls pinch the material, moving the material as they turn. The material is bent as it comes into contact with a third roll (the rear roll). The position of the rear roll can be adjusted (up or down) to alter the curvature of the material. The bottom roll can also be adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the material. Both bottom and rear rolls can have manual or powered adjustments.
Historically, the description Pyramid Roll generally refers to mechanical 3-roll bending machines that have become largely obsolete. Pyramid type bending rolls have two powered lower rolls. Centered above the two bottom rolls, the top roll is adjustable up and down. The pyramid roll design is not ideal for thin gage material or when a leading edge flat spot is problematic. Pyramid rolls, however, do have some advantages. Because of its wide vertical opening between the top roll and the two lower rolls, heavy structural materials such as small i-beams or heavy rod can be bent.
Although also technically pyramid shaped, the more modern Hydraulic Double Pinch 3-Roll Bending Machine is frequently used today. Double pinch bending rolls have great universality because while the top roll is fixed, both bottom rolls are adjustable. They have the ability to pre-bend both ends of the plate. These features yield less handling and make the Double Pinch 3-Roll bender efficient, desirable, and cost effective.
4-Roll Benders are hydraulically driven. They have all the benefits of Double Pinch 3-Roll benders with the added feature of having a fourth roll. The top and bottom rolls work together to do all the pinching, allowing the third and fourth rolls to do all the bending. Tighter diameters can be achieved as the third and fourth rolls bend materials independently form one another. Greater bending control and flexibility yields more accurate bending and ease of use. 4-Roll Hydraulic Bending Rolls are the most desirable and most expensive plate bending roll options on the market today.
On this page Kempler also lists their used Urethane Rolls. Urethane rolls are 2-roll benders that are ideal when it is necessary to form metal without scratching or marring the surface.
Plate bending rolls are frequently equipped with Air Drop End, Hydraulic Drop End, or Manual Drop End. The drop end feature allows for the end support of the top roll to be dropped away allowing for the removal of tightly formed tanks and cylinders. Frequently, a balance beam mechanism is designed into the machine which slightly lifts the top roll in order for the pinched material to be removed.

Use of Board Games in Developmental Learning
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
I am looking for assistance with the following questions.
Analysis of childhood board game
Game Selection: Lucky Ducks
When making this analysis, consider the minimum age that is recommended for children to begin playing the game. The recommended age for Lucky Ducks is 3 & Up.
What skills/abilities do children at that age have that they did not previously possess? Why is the game now appropriate for them?
What are the potential cognitive developmental components: language abilities; memory skills; letter, shape, color and/or number recognition abilities?
What are potential physical developmental components: fine or gross motor skills?
What are potential psychosocial developmental components: interactions with others, social skills, relationships?
Even though there is a typical start age for games, are there skills or abilities that someone who is older may acquire from playing the game?
Are there social implications for someone who is older that may be beneficial to them when playing the game?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 9, 2019, 11:00 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Lucky Ducks is a board game that involves color matching, counting, observation, and memory. Basically, players are looking to collect ducks of the correct color out of the "pond". They pick up a duck, and if it is their color (marked by a dot on the bottom) they keep it. Otherwise, they show the dot to the other players and then put it back in the pond.
At this age children are developmentally able to learn to match colors and to count (if they can count up to 4 they can play this game). Children at this age are also able to understand basic rules of a game, where a two-year-old might not. Also, there is the basic fact that any game with potentially edible parts will be labeled "3 and Up" to avoid choking hazards.
Some children will have some start in learning these skills already, but if not, this game would help to teach them. For children who have just turned three, the game will probably be mainly about matching the colors of the ducks with the colors on your card. As they gain a little more experience, though, some higher-level thinking skills come into play. Because the player has to show the color on the bottom of the duck to the other players before putting it back, children may learn to be more observant. Often ...

By AlexGeek в Thu-11-2019 13:57:39

This Christmas, the Queen needs your help. The Hallowed Ice Fountain is responsible for supplying her palace's Christmas machinery with water, and it's currently in danger of melting along with the entire building! Play the games and save the fountain from melting to ensure Christmas doesn't just become a distant memory.

Winter Palace Game I / Game VI (badges)
Winter Palace Game VII / Game XI (badges)
GAME: Palace Doors
The high temperatures are putting the Winter Palace and everything inside of it in danger of melting. Protect the palace by closing the entrance doors which have been left open before the heat reaches the Magic Hallowed Ice Fountain and Christmas gets ruined.
How to play:
- A secret pattern will appear on the floors, make sure you remember it before the games starts.
- Walk around the room and type an "x" on each tile that was part of the secret pattern.
- The pattern consists of 8 tiles so make sure you find each of them before the timer ends.
- Watch out for the guard, make sure you don't stand too close to him or you'll have to start again.
- After you've found the tiles, pull the switch to collect the badge.
GAME: The Royal Party
The Queen had everything prepared for the annual Christmas party. Unfortunately this year the party might not even happen because of all the ice that's melting inside the palace. Help the Queen save the food and presents before they get ruined too.
How to play:
- Find a friend and work together to rescue the gift boxes and food that's been placed around the room.
- Place the gift boxes on top of the Chesnut Stall, a yellow tile will light up to show you where each box goes.
- Place the food on top of the table next to the staircase, a yellow tile will light up to show you where you need to place the food items.
- Make sure you avoid the water spillages on the floor or otherwise you'll get stuck and lose precious time.
- Keep an eye on the timer and when you're done make sure to stand on the center of the arrow tiles to receive your prize.
GAME: Slippery Stairs
Everyone in the palace knows that the magic Hallowed Ice Fountain is hidden in one of the many rooms of the palace. In order to find it you'll need to make your ways upstairs stepping only on the pressure plates.
How to play:
- Walk around the room using the one way doors and the pressure plates.
- Make sure you don't fall off them or you'll have to go back to the beginning.
- Once you have made it to the second floor you'll need to move fast, the pressure plates will disappear before you know it!
- When you have reached the end, click on the switch that's behind the columns to get the badge.
- You only have 90 seconds so you need to be quick!
GAME: Finding the Boreal Mage
The Boreal Mage is one of the lucky few who actually knows where the Hallowed Ice Fountain is kept, or at least that's what everyone in the palace seem to think...
Find the hidden switches that will make music boxes appear and check for yourself whether the rumors are true.
Good luck getting any help from the Boreal Mage, she's not the most trusting person you'll meet...
GAME: Winter Maze
To reach the teleports on the other side of the ropes you'll first need to catch all the snow sprites.
How to play:
- You can walk around the pavement area or use the switch to trap the snow sprites.
- Once you've caught them a green light will appear in the room.
- When the green light appears click on the switch that's in the middle of the room for the rope divider to open.
GAME: Father Frost

Giants' Zito finds new Brewer to plunk
Well, it wouldn't be spring training if Barry Zito didn't hit a Brewer with a pitch.
The past two springs Zito plunked Prince Fielder with pitches (one intentional, one less-than-so). But with Fielder gone to the Tigers, Zito plunked Nyger Morgan with a pitch in the second inning.
Considering that Morgan is a much smaller target than Fielder, Zito's control is clearly getting better.
"It was a curveball, so I mean sometimes you just throw through it," Zito said of the pitch that plunked Morgan on the helmet. Morgan stayed in the game through the end of the inning, then left as a precaution.
Besides the hit-by-pitch, Zito gave up just one hit — an infield hit at that — no walks and one strikeout in three innings of work. He might have come out and pitched some in the fourth if the Giants hadn't batted around for an eight-run inning.
Despite the solid results, Zito was mildly critical of his outing.
"I felt like I could've been better being down in the zone with the fastball," Zito said. "If you look at strike ratio and how many balls were down in the zone, today was not as good as last game. But there were other positives today."
Zito threw 30 of his 45 pitches for strikes, compared to 28 of 35 pitches for strikes last Tuesday.
Also, the Brewers' lineup did not include the likes of Rickie Weeks, Aramis Ramirez or Ryan Braun.
Well, it doesn't matter whose in the lineup, we'll take three scoreless innings from Zito any day. And the plunking of the mouthy Tony Plush was just a bonus.
That makes consecutive scoreless outings from Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain and Zito.
Now if we can get the Lincecum kid to come around ….
- 3B Pablo Sandoval went 2 for 4 with a double and home run in the Brewers game. He also whiffed twice.
- 2B Ryan Theriot got things going with the bat, going 2 for 2 with a double, walk and two runs.
- C Tommy Joseph continues to impress, going 2 for 3 with two home runs and 4 RBI. To read more on Joseph, click here.
- SS Brandon Crawford, who worked on shortening his swing in the offseason, continues to swing a hot bat, going 2 for 3 with a double, triple and 3 RBI.
- P Justin Fitzgerald gave up 3 runs on five hits in 2/3 of inning. The other six pitchers gave up no runs on four hits and no walks in 8 1/3 innings. They included Guillermo Mota, Sergio Romo, Steve Edlefsen and Hector Correa.
- The lineup in the split-squad at Tempe against the Angels was comprised mostly of younger players. But two veterans had nice games. 1B Aubrey Huff went 2 for 3 with a home run.
- Freddy Sanchez, playing DH vs. the Angels, went 1 for 3 with a run scored. Manager Bruce Bochy said Sanchez won't play a game in the field until Wednesday at the earliest.
Brian Wilson will make his spring debut and pitch an inning as the Giants take on the Mariners in Scottsdale. Eric Surkamp will get the start for the Giants and Buster Posey is slated to catch four innings. He reported no soreness after catching two innings on Friday.
Spring training: Brewers 7, Giants 3
Matt Cain pitched two solid innings and Aubrey Huff hit his first spring training home run. But two fielding gaffes led to five runs as the Brewers beat the Giants in a rare early-spring night game at Scottsdale Stadium.
Cain gave up two walks and a walk in two scoreless innings. Huff lined a home run to right in the fourth and walked in two at-bats as the Giants built a 3-0 lead through five innings.
But then the Brewers scored five unearned runs in the sixth and seven innings.
Jeremy Affeldt should have had a 1-2-3 sixth. Instead, he gave up three unearned runs. It started on a chopper to third by Chris Gomez that Pablo Sandoval completely whiffed. Affeldt should have bailed himself out by picking off Gomez, but Gomez beat Huff's throw to second.
Affeldt then got two groundballs that should have got him out of the inning. Instead, it plated the first run. Affeldt, now working overtime, had a long at-bat by George Kottaras that ended in a walk, and Zelous Wheeler then belted a two-run homer off the winded Affeldt.
Sergio Romo struck out the side in the seventh, but the Brewers got two more runs. The Brewers put two runners on a rare walk by Romo and a bloop single. But the inning should have ended on Travis Ishikawa's fly ball to left, but Justin Christian just plain dropped the ball, and two runs scored.
Brett Pill continued a hot early spring with a double in three at-bats.
Also worth noting was the 0-for-3 by Brandon Belt, which included an opposite-field fly ball to the warning track, a smoked liner to second and deep fly out to left center that the Brewers Logan Shaefer did a nice job tracking down. Belt is swinging the bat very well this spring.
Barry Zito makes his first spring start as the Giants take on the Dodgers in Glendale at noon PST. The game will be televised on a tape-delayed basis by the MLB Network at 7 p.m.
Spring training: Giants (ss) 11, Diamondbacks 1; Giants (ss) 1, Brewers 1
It's spring. It's early. It's in Arizona, where the ball tends to carry.
But the Giants should be encouraged by the early hitting results in spring training. In split-squad games Sunday, the Giants beat the Diamondbacks 11-1 and tied the Brewers 1-1.
Against the Diamondbacks, the hitters at the top of the lineup responded. Leadoff hitter Angel Pagan went 2 for 4 with an RBI. No. 2 hitter Melky Cabrera was 2 for 4 with a double and run scored.
"The two guys on the top of the order are showing we're more athletic now," manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle. "It's early, two games. Even with that, you like how it's going right now. They're swinging the bat."
Bochy may stay with Pagan and Cabrera atop the lineup even when 2B Freddy Sanchez is ready to play. Sanchez's right-handed bat may be needed toward the bottom of the lineup where the Giants get lefty heavy with Aubrey Huff or Brandon Belt, Nate Schierholtz and Brandon Craword.
Here are other hitting highlights vs. the Diamondbacks:
- Aubrey Huff, 2 for 3, run
- Brett Pill, 3 for 5, 2 runs, 2 RBI, 3B
- Ryan Theriot 2 for 3, 2 runs, RBI
- Mike Fontenot 3 for 4, run, RBI, 2B
- Hector Sanchez, 3 for 3, run, 3 RBI, 2B
Pitching was handled by a group of Fresno candidates: Brian Burres, Mark Kown, Ramon Ortiz, Justin Fitgerald, Shawn Sanford and Danny Otero.
Pitchers more likely to open the season with the big club were pitching in the game against the Brewers.
Madison Bumgarner allowed one run on one hit with no walkd and four strikeouts while getting through 2 2/3 innings.
Shane Loux pitch 2 1/3 score innings. He was followed by scoreless innings by Javier Lopez, Santiago Casilla, Heath Hembree (two strikeouts) and Wilimin Rodriguez. Only Rodriguez allowed a hit.
The Giants pushed across their lone run in the sixth off Brewers closer John Axford as Connor Gillaspie, Eli Whiteside and Brandon Crawford strung together singles.
Outfielder Gary Brown, in his first spring start, went 0 for 4 with a strikeout.
No pain for Cain
Giants fans around the world took a sign of relief. Matt Cain bounced back in his first in-game action in more than two weeks by throwing three scoreless innings, giving up three hits and striking out one. No walks.
The Brewers went on to beat the Giants 12-8.
Cain, who was sidelined with some elbow inflammation, was only slated to throw two innings. But he sailed through the first two innings in 18 pitches, so he went out again in the third. He finished with 43 pitches, 29 strikes.
"I looked like Matty didn't miss a beat," manager Bruce Bochy said.
Now, the challenge is to get Cain back on course to be ready to start the season.
"I think I'll be fine," Cain told the San Jose Mercury News. "I've been able to do rotator cuff and (scapula) work even when I wasn't throwing every four days, so I've been able to keep my arm strength there."
Bochy said that Cain will probably get a 60-pitch count on his next outing, perhaps with an extra day of rest.
If he pitches on four-days rest now, he could get three more spring starts before opening the season on the fourth game of the season. If the Giants feel that he only needs two more spring starts, then he can open the season in the No. 3 spot of the rotation that he was projected in.
On the flip side, Jeff Suppan did not have a stellar outing. Suppan, facing the Brewers for the third time this spring, gave up six runs (five earned) on four hits and two walks in one inning of work. His spring ERA shot up to 6.30.
It's the kind of outing that may take Suppan out of the running for the final spot in the bullpen. He's currently battling Ryan Vogelsong, Guillermo Mota and Dan Runzler for that spot.
Here are the other highlights:
AUBREY HUFF: Huff-Daddy was 3 for 3 with two runs and three RBI, including a home run to raise his spring average to .333.
PABLO SANDOVAL: Hit his third home run of the spring. He went 1 for 3.
BUSTER POSEY: Had a double in 2 ABs. He's hitting .458.
ANDRES TORRES: Tripled for the second time in as many days. He's hitting .379 this spring.
Weekend rewind: More wins
MoreSplashHits is getting caught up after a busy week. The Giants played four games over the weekend, winning three and improving to 8-3 on the spring.
The weekend included the spring debut of The Beard. MoreSplashHits always thought Brian Wilson was a member of the Beach Boys. But looking at The Beard, we're thinking maybe it was ZZ Top.
Here are highlights from the weekend.
Sunday's game
TIM LINCECUM: The Freak continues to get into regular-season form. He struck out seven in 3 2/3 IPs with no runs, 3 hits and 3 BBs.
BRIAN WILSON: The Beard made its spring debut, striking out two with no hits or walks in one 10-pitch inning.
BUSTER POSEY: Posey had a double, two RBI and a walk in two at-bats. He's hitting .643 for the spring.
PABLO SANDOVAL: After back-to-back 0-fers, Sandoval went 1 for 3 with an RBI. He's hitting .333.
TRAVIS ISHIKAWA: Ishikawa went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts. He's hitting .250 for the spring, but not a good outing.
Saturday's game
MADISON BUMGARNER: Bumgarner had a solid start, 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K. The lone run Bumgarner was unearned as the Giants kicked the ball around, committing four errors on the day.
Friday's Games
GIANTS (ss) 7, BREWERS 2
JEFF SUPPAN: Suppan had another outstanding outing, 3 IP, 1 HIT, 0 Ks, 0 BBs. He's doing what he needs to earn a spot on the roster. One thing to consider: both spring starts came against the Brewers. Let's see what he can do against another lineup.
BRANDON BELT: Belt went 2 for 4 with 2 RBI, including his first spring HR. The talk continues to be that he'll open the season in Fresno. How long he remains there will be up to Belt and any need with the big club.
MARK DEROSA: DeRosa continues to have a solid spring, going 1 for 2 with a 2B and 2 RBI.
GIANTS (ss) 5, DODGERS 3
BUSTER POSEY: Posey belted his second spring HR, going 1 for 2.
BARRY ZITO: Just a couple of days after being mixed in controversy stirred by a Chronicle report that his status with the team was on thin ice, Zito had a solid second outing, 3 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks.
Zito, Fielder rekindle Bowling Ball-Gate
Bowling Ball-Gate continues.
The Giants' Barry Zito and the Brewers' Prince Fielder exchanged words after Zito issued a first-inning walk to the slugger in the first inning of Monday's 10-9 Giants win over the Brew Crew.
A frustrating Zito issued a four-pitch walk to Fielder. After the first pitch, the lefty asked home plate umpire Stephen Barga where the pitch was.
Fielder barked at Zito and was still talking when he got to first base, and another umpire stepped in between the two players.
"Prince was letting me know that it was a ball," Zito explained.
When pressed further, each player offered different explanations.
"Yeah, we talked a little bit," Zito said. "Caught up. Asked him how his offseason was. Family's good. No new tattoos."
Fielder remarked: "I like Barry. I really do. (Mutual agent Scott Boras) called and we have dinner tonight. I asked (Zito) which one we were going to. I said Houston's. He thought Fleming's."
And then Fielder let out a big chuckle.
The back story on this event dates back to September 2009 when Fielder, celebrating a game-winning home run against the Giants, jumped on home plate and his teammates fell backwards as if knocked over by a bowling ball.
The Giants didn't appreciate the stunt. So the following spring in the two teams' first spring meeting, Zito hit Fielder square in the back with his first pitch.
MoreSplashHits had no issues with Zito's message pitch last spring. At least THAT pitch went were Zito intended.
The same could not be said for Monday's outing.
Zito walked five of the 13 batters he faced. After loading the bases in the first, Zito worked out of the inning by inducing a pair of popups. He gave up two runs in the second, and was removed after walking Fielder a second time to force in the second run.
"I'm just working on timing," Zito said. "I had some where it clicked and some where the timing was off a little bit."
But there was good news — apart from the victory — for the Giants on Monday.
MARK DEROSA: Starting again at 2B, DeRosa continues to swing the bat well. He went 2 for 3 with 2 RBI, including his first spring training home run.
BRANDON BELT: Belt made his first spring start and began to make his case to make the big league club. Belt went 3 for 5 with 2 runs, two doubles and 4 RBI. However, manager Bruce Bochy reiterated that the plan is for Belt to start the season at Triple-A unless injury and an incredibly impressive spring by Belt make the Giants rethink that.
TRAVIS ISHIKAWA: Ishikawa made his first start in left field, as the Giants tried to improve his versatility on the team. He wetn 2 for 3 with a double and run scored. "It was a lot fun. I hope I get more chances out there," he said afterwards.
JEFF SUPPAN: Batting for a roster spot, Suppan got off to a good start, throwing three scoreless and hitless innings.
Spring training: Brewers 10, Giants 8
After two scoreless outings, Jonathan Sanchez struggled to find the plate Sunday, walking five batters and giving up six earned runs in two-plus innings of work in the San Francisco Giants 10-8 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Sanchez lost control of his fastball in the second inning. He walked five of the 13 batters he faced. Twenty-seven of 53 pitches were out of the strike zone.
"I know what' wrong," Sanchez told the San Jose Mercury News. "I'm not finishing my pitchers. I have stay back more, get on top of it more. It's something I'll be working on."
It's the third consecutive unpolished outing by a Giants starter, following Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain.
On the flip side, the Giants hitters had a good day. They jumped on Brewers' starter Jeff Suppan for four runs in four innings, going against a trend of slow starts by Giants hitters in spring training games.
The Giants hit four home runs in the game. Aaron Rowand led of the game for the Giants with a solo shot to right center for his first spring homer. Aubrey Huff followed three batters later with another home run. In the fourth inning, Fred Lewis and Nate Schierholtz also went deep off Suppan.
Inside the box score
Rowand was 2 for 3 with a double and home run. His spring average is .500.
Edgar Renteria is starting to heat up. He was 2 for 4 with an RBI.
Buster Posey was 2 for 2 with two RBI. He's hitting .429. That's the good news. The bad news is that the Brewers stole three bases in four attempts with Posey behind the plate.
Injury updates
Aaron Rowand felt tightness in his left quad chasing down a fly ball in the seventh inning Sunday, and manager Bruce Bochy said his center fielder will be rested for a couple of days.
Travis Ishikawa ran the bases for the first time this spring and hopes to play in an intrasquad game in Minor League camp later this week. Ishikawa, who injured ligaments in his foot during a mishap at home this winter, says he feels certain that he'll be ready to play by the Giants' April 5 season opener. But he also admits that he'll be dealing with discomfort in the foot for much of the season.
Up next
The Giants will play split-squad games on Monday. Madison Bumgarner will get the start in the 6:05 p.m. against the Texas Rangers in Surprise, Ariz. The Giants also will face the Padres at 7:05 p.m. in Peoria, with Guillermo Mota leading a contingent of relievers on the mound.
These will be penultimate split-squad games for the Giants, so roster cuts may soon follow later this week.
The Giants next split-squad day is March 24 when the Giants face the Reds in a regularly schedule game and the Royals in a makeup of a March 7 rainout.

Yu-Druk since 1985
Yu-Druk was granted a license to operate by the Government in 1985, making it two of the first licensed operators. The State controlled and operated the tourism business till 1999 and allowed only 33 operators. Today there are more than 1400 tour operators and less than 30% operate with valid license. The Lonely Planet guidebook since its first edition in 1998 through till the current edition, recommends that the best Bhutanese tour companies you travel with are the mid size companies. Yu-Druk is exactly that and has been recommended since. Mid size because they are large enough to get you the biggest discounts on airlines and hotels and yet be reachable to talk to you and customize your dream trip.

Page Content
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about creating algorithms to perform tasks in a way that we believe is intelligent. AI is about creating algorithms to make robots perform such tasks. Modern AI algorithms play games (e.g. chess), prove theorems (e.g. verification), discover patterns in data (e.g. explanations), analyze complex sequences (e.g. DNA), make ``life or death'' decisions (e.g. matching organs to patients), optimize distributions (e.g. food, refugees, housings), drive cars (e.g. Tesla), play soccer, etc.
Learning Goals and Syllabus
The goal of the course is that students gain an understanding of some of the fundamental methods and algorithms of AI, and an appreciation of how they can be applied to interesting practical problems. This aligns with the objectives of the ERC AMPLify Project in which the goal is to develop models for allocation problems in practice, to design mechanisms for such applications and analyze them. For example, one such application is the stable marriage assignment problem with allocation objectives such as egalitarian welfare and utilitarian welfare.
You can download the syllabus for this course HERE. Please check for updates on lecture and project topics in the upcoming weeks!
Course components
This course has three components: lectures, tutorials and lab exercises.
The lectures will introduce selected basic topics such as search, game playing, decision making, planning, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning and resource allocation.
The tutorials will allow students to apply algorithms on simple 'toy' examples.
The lab exercises will provide to the students the opportunity to develop a small project in some area of AI: social choice, fair division, learning, planning, theorem proving, etc.
The general prerequisites of the TU Berlin Summer University are the following: at least one year of university experience + English level B2 or equivalent.
The AI course also requires:
1. Basic programming skills: C++ or Java or PHP or Prolog (advanced programming skills are not necessary).
2. Basic LaTeX skills: a typesetting system.
3. Basic knowledge: algorithms, mathematics.
Dr. Martin Aleksandrov obtained a Bachelor degree in Computer Science from Sofia University, Bulgaria. He also received a Master degree in Computer Science from Technical University of Dresden, Germany.

Avoid the crowds
Each year, millions of travelers descend upon the world's ultra-popular travel destinations. The crowds are sometimes part of the attraction: Tourists go to Negril or Daytona Beach to party and socialize and to Paris or New York City to experience the big city buzz. However, many travelers come home thinking, "If only it wasn't so crowded, I would have enjoyed it more." This is especially the case in places that have nature-oriented attractions.
Travelers have a couple of options when trying to avoid tourist traffic jams. They can head to a remote, not-yet-popular destination before it is discovered by travel bloggers and guidebook authors. Another, perhaps more feasible and convenient option, is to go to a popular place during the non-peak season. The trick is to find the window of time when good weather, lack of crowds and low prices combine to create the perfect vacation experience. Whether you prefer to share the scenery with beach bums or mountainous sheep (like these in Iceland), here are some of the most worthwhile places to travel during off-peak seasons. (Text: Josh Lew)

Lufthansa WorldShop now with a new brand image
A new design and inspiring content underline the premium standards of both the catalogue and the stores
Frankfurt am Main, 6 March 2018 – Clear, concise, high-end and vibrant: this is how the Lufthansa WorldShop will be presenting itself from this spring. The presentation of the WorldShop will be comprehensively updated as part of a complete rebranding exercise. The new look & feel makes its first appearance in the latest catalogue, which was launched at the beginning of March. The rebranding will also be implemented at the nine airport retail outlets. Lufthansa WorldShops is operated by Miles & More GmbH. After flight awards, it is the most popular way for members to spend their miles.
Inspiration for the home and for your travels
The goal of the new presentation is to inspire members and to give them fresh impetus through attractive living environments. To this end, the catalogue focuses on a world of image and colour and a matching typography. In addition, more use will be made of editorial content, such as interviews with experts and background texts about selected products. The high-quality and dynamic content focuses on the standards of design and the quality of the products presented in the catalogue: from quiet robotic lawn mowers with LED headlights and ultra-modern pizza ovens to hitherto unseen images of the Ju 52 for aircraft enthusiasts – the items in the catalogue are both varied and innovative.
"There is still a moment of electronic silence on board as the aircraft takes off. According to Jens Polkowski, Associate Director of Direct Marketing at Miles & More GmbH, this is also the moment when people reach for the catalogue almost automatically and allow the text and images to take their effect". "This moment is the focus point of our relaunch. Opulent images and emotional texts allow readers to immerse themselves in the brand world of the WorldShop."
A strong brand experience in all channels
The online and offline worlds of the WorldShop will be more strongly intermeshed in future in order to achieve a more uniform experience of the WorldShop: in this process the catalogue serves as an inspirational medium for members. It offers a wide range of items, from stylish accessories to smart voice command devices and, at the same time, presents the newest trends and products.
The online shop complements the catalogue by delivering a continuation of the reports, as well as more in-depth product information. The online shops www.worldshop.euufuwbcquasdwyyctawdw and www.swiss-shop.com offer in total more than 3,000 attractive awards from such categories as Travel & Luggage, Home & Living and Lifestyle & Accessories. At the retail outlets at airports, the products can be physically experienced before purchase. The nine Lufthansa WorldShop outlets at Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin Tegel, Hamburg and Dusseldorf have more than 700 square metres of retail space. The WorldShop catalogue is published with two product ranges a year and an additional Christmas special and is available on Lufthansa continental flights. The range is complemented with more online product lines throughout the year.

i always steal my dad's reallly big sweatshirts, since they're like a skirt on mean and wear leggings or tights with them, and sometimes throw a belt in.
i also go out and buy mens longsleeve shirts cuz they're so comfy and i tuck them in,
and stuff.
I like trying on my fiancee's blazers & button up shirts, I'd sleep in one of his tees if I knew which ones were clean or dirty. lol
Luckily he & I have close to the same measurements. :)
I lack anyone to steal clothes from, but the only reason I'd want a boyfriend would be to "borrow" clothes from him.posted almost 10 years ago
His cardigans.
His v-necks.
His socks.
His hoodies.
His button-ups.
His sunglasses.
His watches.
my fiancée is bomb dot com!posted almost 10 years ago
my boyfriend dresses pretty casual: a salvation army t shirt with APC jeans and sneakers is pretty much his uniform. sometimes a (thrifted) brooks brothers button up here and there.
so when i'm going to steal his clothes, it's usually t shirts that i was jealous of or comfy sweatshirts that he doesn't want anymore. i'd definitely be trying to take his APC's but he gets them a few sizes up because he doesn't want them to be tight (and i'd be swimming in a 32 haha)posted almost 10 years ago
i know right? i love how guys clothes are always so comfy! they're so lucky! 3
i usually "borrow" my bf's clothes adn end up keeping them. haha
plus i buy guy's t shirts cuz they're so frickin comfy adn fit well.
My boyfriend is super-tiny and I'm a curvy gal, so it's difficult to find things in his closet that fit me. Plus, anything that I like of his on me, he won't let me borrow. Sadly. I'll get back to you on that.posted almost 10 years ago
I'm too wee to pull most of them off, but he does have a charcoal-grey cashmere sweater that I love wearing with tight pencil or mini skirts. Other than that, I like slouching around the house in his hoodies. Oh, and he had two pairs of pyjama trousers made in Malawi from the most colourful fabrics he could find. They're like sun in clothing form so wearing them always cheers me up if I'm feeling miserable and I usually sleep in one pair if he's away.posted over 9 years ago
I steal his band t's all the time hehe I have plenty of my own but he has some really retro vibe ones that I loveeeposted over 9 years ago

i hang around the house in my boyfriends baggy jeans all the time, but i have tons of his tee shirts and sweaters and some of his geeky jewelry that he gets at renaissance fairs that i love so muchposted over 9 years ago
I loove my boyfriends jeans, and I dress them up with high heels, and do the typical rolling up at the bottom. I always pair it with girlie stuff, but they're the MOST comfortable jeans that I own :)
I also wear his sweaters to death, leggings, jeans, heels, jewlery. Or just to be comfy around the house :)posted over 9 years ago
i am too small to wear any of my boyfriend's clothes.
im 5ft & he's 6ft so the only thing that i ever steal from him are his hoodies. :P
my boyfriend has absolutely no sense of style, he's just a very classic kind of guy.
he only ever wears teeshirts, hoodies, and jeans. i suppose its not horrible, but i rarely find anything that i would like to dress up. the one thing i liked enough to keep is his dark grey hanes zip-up hoodie. its the most comfortable piece of clothing i own. i generally wear it to sleep because its cold where i live but sometimes i'll just throw it on with jeans and flip flops to run errands.
I love the washed jeans of my boyfriend :)
I like to borrow some shirts from my dad or some blazer too, together with a belt and a leggings it looks good I think.

Matthew Feldman, a University of Florida student who is conducting research this summer at Rice University, broke a Guinness World Record for joggling – jogging and juggling – July 27 at the Rice University running track. Feldman jogged one mile while simultaneously juggling five balls in 6 minutes, 33.65 seconds. He beat the previous record of 7 minutes, 41 seconds held for 23 years by American Bill Gillen.
Feldman's official attempt at Rice was part of his efforts to raise awareness and money for Isatome, a community of people in the town of Minamisanriku affected by last year's Japanese tsunami.
"I felt pretty good, but I was pretty tired," Feldman said. "6:33 isn't my personal best time, but I feel good about getting the attempt done and obtaining the record."
The YouTube video is available at http://youtu.be/hYjbu2Bbj88.
"You have to be an Olympic level athlete to run that fast, whilst juggling five balls," said Albert Lucas, director of Olympic development for the International Sport Juggling Federation. "Matt has broken a record that has stood for 23 years … this is a historic achievement and raises the bar for a the new generation of sport jugglers."
Feldman also holds Guinness World Records for joggling five balls for 5,000 meters (27:06.74 minutes) and 400 meters (1:10.5 minutes).
Feldman is studying electrical engineering at the University of Florida and working toward degrees in physics and Japanese language. At Rice, Feldman is conducting nanomaterials research in the lab of professor Pulickel Ajayan. He plans to take the fall semester off to do an internship at SpaceX, a private company that designs, manufactures and launches rockets and spacecraft.

If you've found this article, most likely you were reading Google trends (which is being dominated by Big Butter Jesus), you heard it mentioned on TV, or most likely, you love Jesus and you love butter and it was just a matter of time before you came across this.
Regardless, here it is: Big Butter Jesus in all its artery clogging glory. presiding over Monroe, OH.
Okay, so it's actually made of styrofoam and fiberglass. Not butter. And it's official name is "King of Kings," which is misleading, as we'll ultimately end up calling him "The Butter King." But we all know there is only one true "Butter King":
According to Google trends, the related searches include "sexygirl, sexting, and sexing the body gender politics and the construction of sexuality video." Obviously, Big Butter Jesus is involved in some sort of politically motivated sexy girl video. Jesus, Ohio, what kind of racket are you running? And where can I buy tickets?

Are you free on Wednesday? I've got 8 tickets for Fright Night.
Saturday July 2nd 2011
Come off it Yelchin-haters, Fright Night is going to be amazing and you know it. The UK release is set for September 2nd which means 'your man on the street' has a two-month wait ahead of him before he gets to dip his toes into any kind of Farrell-based vampire shenanigans, but thanks to the beautiful people at Disney UK I've got four pairs of tickets to give away for a screening of the film this Wednesday. Here are the deets:
Wednesday 6th July
6:00 for 6:30 start
Central London venue
I'll be in attendance as well, but if you do win don't go thinking you can hang out with me like we're pals or something. This relationship is strictly business, y'hear?
To gain possession of the tickets, simply comment below with your idea for a genuinely scary horror scene. Don't bother interpreting the question in a 'funny way' or writing anything along the lines of 'getting stuck in a lift with Peter Andre LMAO' because you won't win. Just think of something scary and explain it as clearly and concisely as possible. Best four win.
Note: Fright Night isn't rated yet, so feel free to bring your small children.


text: Last week, we featured singer Angelique Kidjo. She was playing some of the songs currently on her iPod. Well, some listeners got in touch about one particular song. They thought it sounded strangely familiar.... Here's The World's Marco Werman. One of Angelique Kidjo's picks was a song by the great Lebanese diva Fairuz. PRI's The World: Angelique Kidjo Interview w/ Marco Werman from Clark Boyd on Vimeo. Many of you emailed us, puzzled by the song. The lyrics were composed by Fairuz's long-time Lebanese songwriters and collaborators the Rahbani Brothers. Listener John Herlihy wrote to ask why the song "Habibi" has the same melody as a well known Russian folk song, "Polyushka Polye." He wondered if there's a connection. Yes, Mr. Herlihy, there is a connection of sorts. The song actually goes by three different titles. There's "Polyushka Polye." It also goes by "Meadowlands," if you heard The Weavers perform it. Some musicians also bill it as "Song of the Plains." I found this 1968 Russian recording of it, with composing credits attributed to Messrs Knyipper, Guszjev and Raics. That version is on a compilation called "Best of Communism." Which proves once again that even if you tank, you can still put out a greatest hits album. But how does a Red Army anthem get to Lebanon? I started by calling Lebanese violinist Joseph Chamaa. He now lives in California. But he was Fairuz's first violinist for over twenty years in Lebanon. �I remember that the song (SINGS) is a Russian song. But I don't know the name of it originally. I know many songs from Russia, because they go all over to other countries.� One more call got me to Dawn Elder. She's Lebanese-American and a music agent. Elder says that Lebanon was never a satellite in the Soviet sphere of influence. But Russia had pull musically with Lebanese musicians. �Many of the great young composers or master musicians either migrated to Paris, studying at the conservatoire in Paris or in Russia with the Moscow Symphony. So you saw tremendous intermingling between styles between Lebanon and the European and Russian world.� So a Russian tune with political meaning got a new treatment in Arabic as a love song. Listener Henry Molumphy pointed out that the song got stretched even further. He wrote: "I first heard it in English on one of my mother's Paul Robeson records from the 1930s." So we'll leave you with Robeson and his treatment of Polyushka, or Habibi, or Meadowlands, or Song of the Plains...regardless of language...the melody remains the same. For The World, I'm Marco Werman.

Government Rules Affecting Internet Applications to Federal Contractors
If you're sending a resume to a federal contractor, know that federal contractors are subject to some strict rules regarding resumes and job applicants. The OFCCP is the agency established to track the diversity hiring record of those applying for positions with federal contractors.
The rationale for the government's interest in employment practices is that federal tax dollars should not support discrimination in the workplace. The agency's new guidelines are intended to encourage hiring fairness toward those who work for federal contractors. Accurate record keeping is required for gender, race, and ethnicity.
Defining an Internet applicant
Policy makers insist that the government must know who is and who isn't an Internet applicant to measure hiring fairness when dealing with the otherwise unmanageable hoards of online resumes. Gain competitive advantage by bearing in mind the official criteria for your being validated as an Internet applicant:
You express your interest for a particular position.
The employer considers you for employment in a particular position.
You have the basic qualifications for the particular position.
Prior to receiving a job offer for the particular position, you don't drop out of consideration for the job — by taking other employment, for example, or saying you're no longer interested in the particular position.
Even if you mail, fax, or hand deliver your resume to someone at a friend's barbeque and never send it online, you still may be classified as an Internet applicant if the contractor accepts some applications for a specific position via the Internet; all applicants for that position must now be considered Internet applicants, according to the rules.
Although there are enough federal contractor jobs to justify your paying attention to the OFCCP guidelines, the new rules appear to be spreading into job search quarters across America, starting at the largest companies. Also, the buzz among recruiting-industry insiders is that the EEOC will soon extend similar, if not identical, guidelines to all U.S. companies with more than 50 employees.

Installing paving bricks over an existing concrete slab spruces up the area and enhances the landscape. The concrete serves as the stable foundation or subsurface necessary to keep paving bricks in place and prevent any shifts that occur as they settle or are exposed to traffic. Select pavers that match the exterior of your house to highlight the colours and heighten visual appeal. Clean the concrete thoroughly before laying the pavers of your choice.
Measure the length and width of the concrete you want to pave, using a tape measure. Multiply the dimensions to determine the square footage. You'll need 10 per cent more pavers than the calculated number to make allowances for breakages and damage.
Design the arrangement of pavers on graph paper. Although some people prefer installing the same coloured pavers throughout the area, other opt for artistic designs such as dark borders, zigzag patterns or two alternating colours throughout the area. Create your desired design so you know how many pavers you need to work with.
Add 1 cup dish detergent to 1 gallon of water and mix thoroughly. Pour the soapy solution on the concrete surface and scrub with a brush to remove stubborn stains and spills over it. Wash away the soap residue with a steady stream of water from a garden hose and leave it to dry.
Mix mortar and water in a 5-gallon bucket to the consistency of peanut butter. Spread enough mortar for three to four pavers on an edge of the cement surface, using a trowel. Spread the mortar, using the notched edge of the trowel to spread it 3/4 to 1 inch thick while creating grooves that fall parallel to the concrete edge.
Lower a paver over the mortar at one corner of the concrete and tap it gently, using a rubber mallet. Place another paver 1/8 inch apart from the previous paver and set it into the mortar with a mallet. Repeat the process of laying pavers over the mortared section and inspect the top with a carpenter's level. Add or remove mortar from under a paver immediately to adjust the height.
Spread mortar over the concrete next to the previous section and continue laying three to four pavers each time, until you reach the end of the concrete flooring. Cut pavers to size with a wet saw. Leave the mortar to cure for 24 hours.
Spread polymeric sand over the paved surface and run a broom slowly over the surface. The broom forces the sand into the gaps between pavers. Wet the surface with a low-pressure hose to solidify the sand between spaces and wash away any excess.

By Srikanth Hunasavadi | Place: Bangalore | Agency: DNA
Karnataka will get its own anti-terror commando force to tackle any eventuality on the terrorism front in the state. The proposed force is expected to be operational in another 15 days.
"We are not waiting for the central government to send commando forces to the state. Nowadays, terror and naxal activities are spreading alarmingly and underworld activities are also on the rise. So, we decided to set up a commando force consisting of 300 men who are being trained now. Within the next fortnight, we will exhibit their strength before the public," said home minister R Ashoka.
Making the announcement on the second anniversary of 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, the home minister said that the 300 personnel were being given advanced training to tackle terrorist attacks. He, however, did not elaborate on the details.
Karnataka, particularly Bangalore is on the terrorists' hitlist, but the city is not equipped to tackle any attack as the police are not trained to handle such situations. Besides Bangalore, Mysore, Hubli and Belgaum are also sensitive, the minister said.
Also, to enhance training skills of the police force, the government has decided to set up two training centres in north Karnataka, Ashoka said. He further said, "To streamline the police recruitment system, we will introduce a transparent policy. Every time we want to recruit police personnel, we have to take permission from the finance department. The process gets delayed. So we will take prior permission from the finance department and go ahead with the appointments. Such mechanism will be evolved in the new policy," he said.

Watching for Signs of Stress in New Goats
If you've just brought home new goats, whether to enhance a green lifestyle or to keep as pets, you need to watch them for signs of stress. Even when you start with healthy goats, transporting can stress them emotionally and physically. Emotional stresses include
Leaving their mothers and friends
Losing their standing in the herd and having to establish a new position
Being in unfamiliar surroundings
Physical stresses can include
Being moved to a transport vehicle
Prolonged standing in a moving vehicle
Temperature extremes, rain, and wind
Lack of exercise
Insufficient food and water intake
Crowding or being moved with unfamiliar goats
Being bullied by more aggressive goats
At best, the stress of shipping only causes a goat to have a depressed appetite and not seem quite herself, but she snaps out of it in a few hours or days. Remember, she has to adjust to a new environment away from the security of everything she has ever known.
Blood tests show that a goat needs about three hours after being transported to stop having a physical stress response, but the move's effect on the goat's immune system can last longer.
At its worst, the stress of transport brings on what is known as shipping fever — causing pneumonia and sometimes diarrhea. Signs to look for include temperature of over 103.5º Fahrenheit, nasal discharge, coughing, rapid breathing, or rattling in the chest. Contact a veterinarian if your new goat has any of these signs.
To minimize the effects of transport stress, give the goat plenty of water (warm or hot if the weather is cold and spiked with molasses if she isn't drinking), goat Nutri-drench, and some probiotics, and watch him closely.
Watch for bullying that seems excessive or dangerous as goats redetermine their status in the herd or among the new goats; separate the bullies.
Eventually, you can expect the new goats to settle in to their surroundings and be back to their normal selves.
