I am trying to follow along with this document
however, the options for installing CMSIS packs is not really available. I can chose from ARM and TI packs but there is no option to select my kinetis processor.
Is this the latest procedure? Most of my projects are still based on processor expert. I am trying to migrate to the latest development tools but I can't even figure out what those are. None of the tutorials seem up to date anymore and even one last than a month old still doesn't line up with what I am actually seeing.

I know why people like to listen to "Classic Rock". It's like seeing an old friend, and when it's one you haven't seen in a while, even better. You're comfortable, you talk, laugh, finish each others sentences. You know what's coming, what buttons to push and when to let off the gas. Led Zeppelin IV is like that. It's like an old friend. You sing along with it, word for word, and you know when, and where, "the levee breaks". The guitar, drums and bass will never let you down, and after a listen, it's hard to say goodbye, but in the end, when it's over, "crying won't help you and praying won't do you no good…"
"Go to Chicago!"

Hi everyone,
David here from Today Is Art Day. I'm happy to share a long overdue update with you on the production of the Dali action figure.
1. Molds
We are happy to announce that the molds are now finished. We have tested them with PVC plastic. The results are great and we can now mass produce all the components of the Dali figurine.
2. Mustaches
We also had to create another set of molds... for the mustaches! These are made by a jeweler since it was impossible to make in plastic. Some types of plastic don't like thin shapes while others don't like curves... Considering that Dali's mustaches are both thin and curvy, we had to think outside the box. This is why they are made out of stainless steel. They will be painted in black later on.
3. Box
We also printed some samples of the box and the blister insert (plastic tray inside the box). It's important for us to check that everything reflects the design we have submitted in the first place.
4. Shipping
We now estimate to be able to ship the figurines in the second half of August. We are producing many of these and it takes time.
That's it for now!
PS: Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for a big announcement later on this week!

When researching cannabidiol (CBD) products, people usually stumble upon the debate between CBD from hemp and CBD derived from cannabis. Honestly, the chemical CBD is the same no matter what plant you get it from. There are, however, significant differences in how CBD could be processed in these two cases.
Typically, you have a better chance of getting a higher quality CBD product from a cannabis plant that was grown specifically for this purpose. While you could get hemp CBD oil that's just as good as cannabis-derived CBD, you have to look out for a few details.
A Few Things To Consider About Hemp CBD Oil
Most farmers grow hemp purely for its industrial uses. While this industrial hemp still contains plenty of CBD goodness, remember that it hasn't been bred to produce a high CBD content. Indeed, many farmers have been using harsh extraction methods to eke out some CBD from their industrial hemp just to cash in on the high demand for this cannabinoid.
Extracting CBD from industrial hemp will always be of inferior quality to CBD from hemp that was grown for medicinal uses. People who want to purchase hemp-based CBD oils should ensure the hemp was cultivated similarly to marijuana, which means it was given the space and time to grow resinous flowers.
Another issue with hemp is that it's extremely good at absorbing everything…especially toxic chemicals that may be in the soil. Since hemp cultivation has yet to be well-regulated, it's very important to research a hemp company's local environment and growing methods before purchasing a product from them. Companies that have been certified organic, of course, have a lower risk of contamination.
Look Out For THC Content
The main issue with cannabis-derived CBD nowadays has to do with its legality. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the famed cannabinoid in marijuana that gets users "high." Currently, hemp is defined as having a THC content of less than 0.2 percent, so there's no chance you'll get this psychoactive compound in a hemp-based oil. CBD oils from other cannabis plants, however, might have more THC than is legal in the UK for recreational use. Please check the official CBD: THC ratio on whatever product you're interested in before purchasing your CBD oil.
Do Your Research Before Buying CBD Oil
The demand for CBD oil has never been greater than it is today. However, since there's very little regulation of the CBD industry, you need to be extra cautious when you shop for CBD products. Whether you're interested in hemp or cannabis-based CBD, you should be on the lookout for a reputable company that preferably has organic status and extracts their CBD oil from lab tested hemp plants.

Published on May 13th, 2015
We are often asked if the social media industry is slowing down. Based on the significant growth numbers coming out of Q1 2015, the answer is not at all. People engaged with US brands' content across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram a total of 13 billion times in Q1 2015 alone, and US brands saw a 52% total increase in engagement year over year. Furthermore, we see that average actions per brand are growing at a faster rate than average content posted per brand. For example, on Twitter, the average posts per brand increased 16% while average actions per brand increased 32% in Q1 2015 compared to Q1 2014. It's clear that people continue to be receptive to engaging with brand content and it is becoming a greater part of people's daily lives.
So, what are the elements that make content engaging for social audiences?
Three overarching content themes were prevalent when interpreting the social sharer and what drives engagement: Discovery, Inspiration and Usefulness. Below are a few examples of top campaigns from early 2015 to help brands understand how to create and engage audiences with the right content.
Samsung tapped into its social audience's curiosity to discover the capabilities of the new products in the Galaxy family. The brand posted videos that conveyed various features of the Galaxy line, which consisted of 38% of the total content posted on Samsung's Mobile Facebook page, and drove 78% of all shares in Q1 2015.
Adidas launched a campaign in February 2015, which included a series of videos to inspire and motivate young athletes to play every game as if it were their last, and used social media to further extend this campaign messaging. On Facebook, the average engagement during the campaign was 337% higher than the average engagement brought in by all content posted during January 2014 – January 2015.
American Express launched the #JourneyNeverStops campaign during the Oscars aimed at opening up the brand to a new generation of customers, encouraging them to share their journeys to success. The campaign, which ran from February through April 2015, saw major success across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram achieving much higher engagement than American Express usually captured.
KLM airlines set out to prove its superior customer service by allowing its customer service representatives to take over its Twitter handle and hit the streets to help unsuspecting travelers with their travel woes over the course of a week. As a result of the campaign, the #HappyToHelp hashtag received a combined 88,000 actions across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and went on to become KLM's official company slogan. KLM also posted two videos, one on Facebook and one on yo, which summarized the week and shared some of the amazing stories that came from it. The Facebook post received over 27 thousand actions and 1.5 million views, while the video received nearly 3.6 million views.
Taste of Home is another example of using useful content to drive social. Recipes make up 77% of Taste of Home 's content, most of which are user generated. The publisher leads in amplification with more than 17 million shares and retweets in 2014. Furthermore, more than one third of Taste of Home's audience is loyal, returning to engage two or more times.
A Quick Word on Social Video
In addition to these three core objectives driving social growth, engagement on video is also on the rise. In Q1 2015, social video content grew 121% with engagement on video posts growing by 185% compared to Q1 2014. In addition, social video is four times more likely to be shared than any other content type, propelling a 140% growth in video shares in 2014. User-generated content is helping to drive this growth. For example, five of the top ten Instagram videos in Q1 2015 included content contributed by the brands' social audiences. To do social video well, it's important to understand that the medium is the message.
Engagement for U.S. brands grew a total 52% y/y with actions still outpacing available content. Stories that spark inspiration, discovery and utility underpin the most successful social media content while still driving business objectives. Your social customers are active and actively sharing, learning and researching; and social data can shed light on opportunities, competitive threats, and broader media and creative decisions across the business.
These and other best practices were presented during Shareablee's Social Best Practices from Top US Brands webinar. Click the button below to download the full presentation.

16. Central Asian Contacts and their Results
The period which began in about 200 B.C. did not witness a large empire like that of the Mauryas, but it is notable for intimate and widespread contacts between Central Asia and India, In eastern India, central India and the Deccan, the Mauryas were succeeded by a number of native rulers such as the Shungas, the Kanvas and the Satavahanas. In north-western India they were succeeded by a number of ruling dynasties from Central Asia. Of them the Kushans became the most famous.
The Indo-Greeks
A series of invasions began in about 200 B.C. The first to cross the Hindukush were the Greeks, who ruled Bactria, lying south of the Oxus river in the area covered by north Afghanistan. The invaders came one after another, but some of them ruled at one and the same time. One important cause of invasions was the weakness of the Seleucid empire, which had been established in Bactria and the adjoining areas of Iran called Parthia. On account of growing pressure from the Scythian tribes, the later Greek rulers were unable to hold their power in this area. With the construction of the Chinese wall the Scythians were now pushed back from the Chinese border. So they turned their attention towards the neighbouring Greeks and Parthians. Pushed by the Scythian tribes, the Bactrian Greeks were forced to invade India. The successors of Ashoka were too weak to stem the tide.
The first to made India were the Greeks, who were called the Indo Greeks or Bactrian Greeks. In the beginning of the second century B.C., the Indo-Greeks occupied a large part of north-western India, much larger than that conquered by Alexander, it is said that they pushed forward as far as Ayodhya and Pataliputra. But the Greeks faked to establish united rule in India. Two Greek dynasties ruled northern India, on parallel lines, at one and the same time. The most famous Indo-Greek ruler was Menander (165-145 B.C.). He is also known by the name Milinda. He had his capital at. Sakala (modern Sialkot) in Punjab; and he invaded the Ganga yamuna doab. He was converted to Buddhism by Nagasena, who is also known as Nugarjuna. Menander asked Nagasena many questions relating to Buddhism. These questions and Nagasena's answers were recorded in the form of a book known as Milinda Panho or the Question of Milinda.
The Indo-Greek rule is important in the fusion of India because of the large number of coins which the Greeks issued. The Indo-Greeks were the first rulers in India, to issue coins which can be definitely attributed to the kings. This is not possible in the case of the early punch-marked coins, which cannot be assigned with certainty to any dynasty. The Indo-Greeks were the first to issue gold coins in India which increased in number under the Kushanas. The Greek rule introduced features of Hellenistic, art in the north-west frontier of India. This art was not purely Greek. It was the outcome of the Greek contact with non-Greek conquered peoples after Alexander's death. Gandhara art was its best example in India.
The Shakas
The Greeks were followed by the Shakas, who controlled a much larger part of India than the Greeks did. There were five branches of the Shakas with their seats of power in different parts of India and Afghanistan. One branch of the Shaka settled in Afghanistan. The second branch settled in Punjab with Taxila as its capital. The third branch settled in Mathura, where it ruled for about two centuries. The fourth branch established its hold over western India where the Shakas continued to rule until the fourth century A.D. The fifth branch of the Shakas established its power, in, the upper Deccan.
The Shakas did not meet much effective resistance from the rulers and peoples of India. In about 57-58 B.C. we hear about of king of Ujjain who effectively fought against the Shakas and succeeded in driving them out in his time. He called himself Vikramaditya and an era called the Vikrama Samvat is reckoned from, the event of his victory over the Shakas to 50 BC. Fom this time onward Vikaramaditya became a coveted title. Whoever achieved anything great adopted this title just as the Roman emporers adopted the title of Caesar in order to emphasize their great power. As a result of his practice we have as many as 14 Vikramadityas in Indian history. Chandragupta II was the most famous Vikramaditya. The title continued to be fashionable with the Indian kings till the twelfth century A.D. and it was especially prevalent in western India; and the western Deccan.
Although the Shakas established their rule in different parts of the country, only those, who ruled in western India held power for any considerable, length of time, Tor about, four centuries or so. They benefited from the seaborne trade hi Gujarat and issued large number of silver coins. The most famous Shaka ruler in India was Rudradaraan 1 (a d, 130-150). He ruled not only over Sindh, but also over a good part of Gujarat, Konkan, the Narmada valley, Malwa and Kathiawar. He is: famous; in history because of ills repairs he undertook to improve the Sudarshana Lake in the semi-arid zone of Kathiawar. This lake had been in use for irrigation for a long time and was as old as the time of the Mauryas.
Rudradama was a great lover of Sanskrit; although a foreigner settled in India, he issued the first-ever long inscription in chaste Sanskrit. All the eaMier longer Inscriptions that we have in this country were composed in sanskrit.
The Parthians
The Shakas domination in north-western India was followed by that of the Parthians in many ancient Indian Sanskrit texts the two peoples are together mentioned as Shakas and Pahlavas. In fact both of them ruled over this country on parallel lines for some time. Originally the Parthians lived in Iran from where they moved to India. In comparison with, the Greeks and the Shakas they occupied only a small portion of north-western India in the first century. The most famous Parthian king was Gondophernes, in whose reign St. Thomas is said to have come to India for the propagation of Christianity. In course of time, the Parthians, like the Shakas before them, became an integral part of Indian polity and society.
The Kushans
The Parthians were followed by the Kushans, who are also called Yuechis or Tocharians. The Kushans were one of the five clans into which the Yuechis tribe was divided. The nomadic people from the steppes of north Central Asia living in the neighbourhood of China, the Kushans, first occupied Bactria or north Afghanistan where they displaced the Shakas. Gradually they moved to the Kabul valley and seized Gandhara by crossing the Hindukush, replacing the rule of the Greeks and Parthians in these areas. Finally they set up their authority over the lower Indus basin and the greater part of the Gangetic basin. Their empire extended from the Oxus to the Ganga, from Khorasan in Central Asia to Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. A good part of Central Asia now included in the Commonwealth of Independent States (in former USSR), a portion of Iran, a portion of Afghanistan, almost the whole of Pakistan and almost the whole of northern India were brought under one rule by the Kushans. This created a unique opportunity for the commingling of peoples and cultures and the process gave rise to a new type of culture which embraced nine modern countries.
We come across two successive dynasties of the Kushans. The first dynasty was founded by a house of chiefs who were called Kadphises and who ruled for 28 years from about A.D. 50. It had two kings. The first was Kadphises I, who issued coins south of the Hindukush. He minted coppers in imitation of Roman coins. The second king was Kadphises II, who issued a large number of gold money and spread his kingdom east of the Indus.
The house of Kadphises was succeeded by that of Kanishka. Its kings extended the Kushan power over upper India and the lower Indus basin. The early Kushan kings issued numerous gold coins with higher degree of metallic purity than is found in the Gupta gold coins. Although the gold coins of the Kushans are found mainly west of the Indus, their inscriptions are distributed hot only in north-western India and Sindh but also in Mathura, Shravasti, Kaushambi and Varanasi. Hence, besides the Ganga Yamuna doab they had set up their authority in the greater part of the middle Gangetic basin. Kushan coins, inscriptions, constructions and pieces of sculpture found in Mathura show that it was their second capital in India, the first being Purushapura or Peshawar, where Kanishka erected a monastery and a huge stupa or relic tower which excited the wonder of foreign travellers.
Kanishka was the most famous Kushan ruler. Although outside the borders of India he seems to have suffered defeat at the hands of the Chinese, he is known to history because of two reasons. First, he started an era in A.D. 78, which is now known as the Shaka era and is used by the Government of India. Secondly, Kanishka extended his wholehearted patronage to Buddhism. He held a Buddhist council in Kashmir, where the doctrines of the Mahayana form of Buddhism were finalized. Kanishka was also a great patron of art and Sanskrit literature.
The successors of Kanishka continued to rule in north-western India till about A.D. 230 and some of them bore typical Indian names such as Vasudeva.
The Kushan Empire in Afghanistan and in the area west of the Indus was supplanted in the mid-third century A.D. by the Sassanian power, which arose in Iran. But Kushan principalities continued to exist in India for about a century. The Kushan authority seems to have lingered in the Kabul valley, Kapisa, Bactria, Khorezm and Sogdiana (identical with Bokhara and Samarkand in Central Asia) in the third-fourth centuries. Many Kushan coins, inscriptions and terracottas have been found in these areas. Especially at a place called Toprak-Kala in Khorezm, which lies slouth of the Aral Sea, on the Oxus, a huge Kushan palace of the third-fourth centuries has been unearthed. It housed an administrative archives containing inscriptions and documents written in Khorezmain language.
Impact of Central Asian Contacts
Structures and Pottery
The Shaka-Kushan phase registered a distinct advance in building activities; Excavations have revealed several layers of construction, sometimes more than half a dozen at various sites in north India. In them we find the use of burnt bricks for flooring and that of tiles for both flooring and roofing. But the use of surkhi and tiles may not have been adopted from outside. The period is also marked by the construction of brick-walls. Its typical pottery is red ware, both plain and polished, with medium to fine fabric. The distinctive pots are sprinklers and spouted channels. They remind us of red pottery with thin fabric found in the same period in Kushan layers in Central Asia. Red pottery techniques were widely known in Central Asia and they are found even in regions like Farghana which were on the; peripheries of the Kushan cultural zone.
Better Cavalry
The Shakas and Kushans added new ingredients to Indian culture and enriched it immensely. They settled in India for good and completely identified themselves with its culture. Since they did not have their script, written language, or any organized religion, they adopted these components of culture from India. They became an integral part of Indian society to which they contributed considerably. They introduced better cavalry and the use of the riding horse on a large scale. They made common the use of reins and saddles, which appear in the Buddhist sculptures of the second and third centuries A.D. The Shakas and the Kushans excellent horsemen, Their passionate love for horsemanship is attested by numerous equestrian terracotta figures of Kushan times discovered from Begrani in Afghanistan. Some of these foreign horsemen were heavily, armoured and fought with spears and lances. Possibly they also used some kind of a toe stirrup made of-rope which facilitated their movements. The Shakas and Kushans introduced turban, tunic, trousers and heavy long coat. Even now the Afghans and Punjabis wear turbans and the sherwani is a successor of the long coat, The Central Asians also brought in cap, helmet and boots which were used by warriors, Because of these advantages they made a clean sweep of their opponents in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, Later, when this military, technology spread in the country, the dependent princes turned them to good use against their former conquerors.
Trade and Agriculture
The coming of the Central Asian people established intimate contacts between Central Asia and India. As a result India received a good deal of gold from the Altai mountains in Central Asia. Gold also may have been received by it through trade with the Roman empire. The Kushans controlled the Silk Route, which started from China and passed through their empire in Central Asia and Afghanistan to Iran and Western Asia which formed part of the Roman empire in the eastern Mediterranean zone. This route was a source of great income to the Kushans and they built a large prosperous empire, because of the tolls levied from the traders. It is significant that the Kushans were the first rulers in India to issue gold coins on a wide scale.
The Kushans also promoted agriculture. The earliest archaeological traces of large-scale irrigation in Pakistan, Afghanistan and western Central Asia belong to the Kushan period.
The Central Asian conquerors imposed their rule on numerous petty native princes. This led to the development of a feudatory organization. The Kushans adopted the pompous title of king of kings which indicates their supremacy over numerous small princes who paid tributes.
The Shakas and the Kushans strengthened the idea of the divine origin of kingship. Ashoka was called dear to the gods but the Kushan kings were called sons of god. This title was adopted by the Kushans from the Chinese, who called their king the son of heaven. It was used in India naturally to legitimize the royal authority. The Hindu law giver Manu asks the people to respect the king even if he is a child, because he is a great god ruling in the form of a human being.
Since most of them came as conquerors they were absorbed in Indian society as a warrior class, that is, as the kshatriyas. Their placement in the brahmanical society was explained in a curious way. The law-giver Manu stated that the Shakas and the Parthians were the kshatriyas who had deviated from their duties and fallen in status. In other words, they came to be considered as second-class kshatriyas. In no other period of ancient Indian history were foreigners assimilated into Indian society on such a large scale as they were in the post Maurya times.
Religious Developments
Some of the foreign rulers were converted to Vaishnavism, which means the worship of Vishnu, the god of protection and preservation. The Greek ambassador called Heliodorus set up a pillar in honour of Vasudeva near Vidisa (headquarters of Vidisa district) in Madhya Pradesh around the middle of the second century B.C.
A few other rulers adopted Buddhism. The famous Greek ruler Menander became a Buddhist. The questions and the answers that he exchanged with the Buddhist teacher Nagasena, also called Nagaijuna, constitute a good source for the intellectual history of the post-Mauryan period. The Kushan rulers worshipped both Shiva and the Buddha and the images of these two gods appeared on the Kushan coins. Several Kushan rulers were worshippers of Vishnu. This was certainly the case with the Kushan ruler Vasudeva, whose very name is a synonym for Krishna, who was worshipped as an incarnation of Vishnu.
The Origin of Mahayana Buddhism
Indian religions underwent changes in post-Maurya times partly due to a big leap in trade and artisanal activity and partly due to the large influx of people from central Asia. Buddhism was especially affected. The monks and nuns could not afford to lose the cash donations from the growing body of traders and artisans concentrated in towns. Large numbers of coins have been found in the monastic areas of Nagarjunakonda in Andhra Pradesh. Further, the Buddhists welcomed foreigners who were non-vegetarians. All this meant laxity in the day-to-day living of the nuns and monks who led a sparse life. They now accepted gold and silver, took to non-vegetarian food and wore elaborate robes. Discipline became so slack that some renunciates even deserted the religious order or the Sangha and resumed the householder's life. This new form of Buddhism came to be called the Mahayana or the Great Wheel. In the old puritan Buddhism certain things associated wan the Buddha were worshipped as his symbols. These were replaced with his images with the opening of the Christian era. Image worship in Buddhism seems to have led to this practice in brahmanism on a large scale. With the rise of the Mahayana the old puritan school of Buddhism came to be known as the Hinayana or the lesser Wheel.
Fortunately for the Mahayana, Kanishka became its great patron. He convened a council in Kashmir. The members of the council composed 300,000 words, which thoroughly explained the three pitakas of collections of Buddhist literature. Kanishka got these commentaries engraved on sheets of red copper, enclosed them in a stone receptacle and raised a stupa over it. If this tradition is correct, the discovery of the stupa with its copper inscriptions could shed new light on Buddhist texts and teachings. Kanishka set up many other stupas to perpetuate the memory of the Buddha.
Gandhara and Mathura Schools of Art
The foreign princes became enthusiastic patrons of Indian art and literature and they showed the zeal characteristic, of new converts. The Kushan empire brought together masons and other (artisans trained in different schools and countries. This gave rise to several schools of art: Central Asian, Gandhara and Mathura. Pieces of sculpture from Central Asia show synthesis of both local and Indian elements under the influence of Buddhism.
Indian craftsmen came into contact with the Central Asians, Greeks and Romans, especially in the northwestern frontier of India in Gandhara. This gave rise to a new kind of art in which images of the Buddha were made in the Greeco-Roman style. The hair of the Buddha was fashioned in the Graeeo-Roman style.
The influence of the Gandhara art also spread to Mathura although it was primarily a centre of indigenous art. Mathura produced beautiful images of the Buddha, but it is also famous for the headless erect statue of Kanishka whose name is inscribed on its lower part. It also produced several stone images of Varahamana Mahavira. Its pre-Gupta sculpture and inscriptions ignore Krishna, although Mathura is considered his birthplace and scene of early life. The Mathura school of art flourished in the early centuries of the Christian era and its products made of red sandstone are found even outside Mathura. At present the Mathura Museum possesses the largest collection of sculptures of Kushan times in India.
During the same period we notice beautiful k works of art at several places south of the Vindhyas. Beautiful Buddhist caves were constructed out of rocks in Maharashtra. In Andhra Pradesh, Nagarjunakonda and Amaravati became great centres of Buddhist art and the stories connected with the Buddha came to be portrayed in numerous panels. The earliest panels dealing with Buddhism are found at Gaya, Sanchi and Bharhut and belong to the second century B.C. But we notice further development in sculpture in the early centuries of the Christian era.
The foreign princes patronized and cultivated Sanskrit literature. The earliest specimen of kavya style is found in the Junagadh inscription of Rudradarnan in Kathiawar in, about A.D. 150. From now onwards inscriptions began to be composed in chaste Sanskrit, although the use of Prakrit in composing inscriptions continued till the fourth century A.D. and even later.
It seems that some of the great creative writers such as Ashvaghosha enjoyed the patronage of the Kushans. Ashvaghosha wrote the Buddha charita, which is a biography of the Buddha. He also composed the Saundarananda, which is a fine example of Sanskrit kavya.
The progress of Mahayan Buddhism led to the composition of numerous avadanas. Most of these texts were composed in what is known as the Buddhist-Hybrid Sanskrit. Their one objective was to preach the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to the people. Some of the important books of this genre were the Mahavastu and the Divyavadana.
The Greeks contributed to the development of the Indian theatre by introducing the use of the curtain. Since the curtain was borrowed from the Greeks it came to be known as yavanika. This word was derived from the term yavana, which was a sanskritized form of Ionian, a branch of the Greeks known to the ancient Indians. In the beginning, the, term yavana was used to refer to the Greeks but at a later stage it came to be used for all kinds of foreigners.
The best example of secular literature appears in tire Kamasutra of Vatsyayana. Attributed to the third century A.D., it is the earliest work on erotics dealing with sex and love-making. It gives us a picture of the life of a city-bred person or nagaraka who lived in a period of thriving urbanism.
Science and Technology
In post-Mamya times Indisi n astronomy and astrology profited from contact with the Greeks. We notice many Greek terms about the movement of planets in Sanskrit texts. Indian astrology came to be influenced by Greek ideas and from the Greek term horoscope was derived the term horashastra used for astrology in Sanskrit. The Greek coins, which were properly shaped and stamped, were a great improvement on punch-marked coins. The Greek term drachrria came to be known as dramma. In return the Greek rulers used the Brahmi script and represented some Indian motifs on their coins. Dogs, cattle, spices and ivory pieces were exported by the Greeks, but whether they learnt any craft from India is not clear.
However, the Indians did not owe anything striking to the Greeks in medicine, botany and chemistry. These three subjects were dealt with by Charaka and Sushruta. The Charakasamhita contains names of numerous plants and herbs from which drugs are to be prepared for the use of patients. The processes laid down for the poupding and mixing of the plants give us an insight into the developed knowledge of chemistry in ancient India. For the cure of ailments the ancient Indian physician relied chiefly on plants, for which the Sanskrit word is oshadhi and as a result medicine itself came to be known as aushadhi.
in the field of technology also the Indians seem to have benefited from contact with the Central Asians. Kanishka is represented as wearing trousers and long boots. Possibly the practice of making leather shoes began in India during this period. In any case the Kushan copper coins in India were imitations of the Roman coins. Similarly gold coins in India were struck by the Kushans in imitation of Roman gold coins. We hear of two embassies being exchanged between the Indian kings and the Roman kings. Embassies were sent from India to the court of the Roman emperor Augustus in A D, 27-28 and also to the Roman emperor Trajan in A.D. 110-20. Thus the contacts of Rome with ancient India may have introduced new practices in technology. Working in glass during this period was especially influenced by foreign ideals and practices. In no other period in ancient India did glass-making make such progress as it did during this period.

EFCC to prosecute Orji Kalu over alleged N5.6bn fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been given the go ahead by the Supreme Court to prosecute the former Governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu on a 107-charge bordering on corruption, Vanguard reports.
The former governor who governed Abia state between 1999 and 2007 is alleged to have perpetuated alleged fraud to the tune of N5.6billion while in office.
He was docked before the Abuja division of the Federal High Court on July 27, 2007, by the anti-graft agency, but for the past eight years, Kalu through various interlocutory applications stalled moves by the prosecution to open its case against him. Kalu, had taken the case before the Court of Appeal in Abuja after the trial court refused to quash the charges against him. However, the appellate court, in a unanimous judgment, upheld the competence of the charge, adding that the high court was constitutionally empowered to exercise jurisdiction on the trial. But Kalu dissatisfied with the verdict approached the Supreme Court, begging it to set-aside the concurrent findings of the two lower courts. The former governor, through his lawyer Chief Awa Kalu, SAN, contended that the EFCC failed to establish a prima-facie nexus linking him to the ingredients of the offence contained in the charge. Nevertheless, the apex court, on Friday, March 18 in a unanimous judgment dismissed the appeal and it ordered the appellant to go and face his trial before the high court.
Justice Suleiman Galadima who delivered the lead verdict ruled that the former governor has a case to answer pertaining to allegations that were levelled against him by the EFCC. In another development, the former aviation minister and director of media for the Goodluck Jonathan campaign organization, Femi Fani-kayode has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of spreading spurious and childish allegations of fraud against him in the pages of newspapers. Fani-Kayode was reacting to reports in the media which linked him among others, to a sum of N3.145bn which was allegedly transferred to the private accounts of some members of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential campaign organisation in the buildup to the last presidential election. The former minister said the ant graft agency was yet to make a formal accusation or allegation against him, vowing to defend himself forcefully if any such charge was made.

It's Try It Tuesday again, and this week we have decided to try an amazing sensory experience that I saw awhile back on Instagram via one very creative mom, @heart_artlife. What child doesn't like to play tea party? Why not go a step further, and let your child mix up their own tea? For an extra added bonus, this activity is a great way to teach your child how to pour liquids into a cup. Let your child have a fun tea party experience with a twist. Make, stir, shake, scoop, sniff, and pour. If you are not familiar with sensory activities, fear not! I will walk you through what materials are needed, set up instructions, and a brief description of how we play tea party.
- Large pots, or mixing bowls
- Assorted tea bags
- Assorted spices
- Long spoons
- Tea set (teapots, and teacups, or plastic cups, and a juice pitcher)
- Small table, or two if you have two
Set up
- Gather your materials.
- Place warm water in two large pots, or mixing bowls.
- Place your bowls in a large storage bin, or on top of a bench or table.
- Place long spoons, and scoopers where your child can reach them for stirring, and scooping.
- Place the spices where your child can reach them. You can buy cheap spices at the Dollar store, or you can use spices from your cabinet that you rarely use. We used a half-empty bottle of cinnamon, and sugar to fill the spice bottle up all the way. Then I mixed sugar, and nutmeg together. You can use any spice you want, you aren't supposed to drink the tea, so don't worry about the taste.
- Set your teapots, and cups on a low table. You can add flowers or little plastic food, or any other props you would like to add.
Start Playing!
- If your tea bags are wrapped up, open them, and let your child add them to the pots of warm water. This was one of my daughter's favorite parts because she loved smelling the tea bags. I used to love flavored teas before I got pregnant and stopped drinking caffeine, so I had Constant Commet Chai Tea, India Spice, and Passion tea on hand already. All three tea flavors smell amazing, and the passion tea gave a beautiful red tint to our water. In fact, I used two separate pots because I knew my daughter would love the beautiful red tint, and I didn't want the browns of the other teas to muddy the color.
- Stir the tea bags, and have fun adding spices! If your child loves shaking sprinkles, they will definitely love going crazy with spices. Warning: Make sure your child doesn't put their nose directly on the spice bottles as they smell the spices. Trust me, you do not want spices up their nose, so take time for a safety discussion!
- Have your child scoop tea into their teapot, and practice pouring the tea into all the teacups. Pour, dump, repeat! This is an amazing way to practice the all-important life skill of carefully pouring liquids. My daughter had no idea she was learning an important skill. Score one for this sneaky mom!
Of course, this outline of how we play is just to give you an idea of how this activity is set up, I am sure your child won't need any prompts once they get ahold of all the materials you spread out in front of them! All you need to do is sit back, and let your child's imagination run wild. Although I'm sure you will be offered a drink, or two, or two dozen!
I hope this inspires you to add a little extra fun to your child's next tea party. You would be amazed how much fun your child could have by adding tea bags, water, and spices to the mix. If you love this activity, don't forget to pin it for later, and don't forget to check back next week to see what Little C has in store for next week's Try It Tuesday.

The Summer House
An English House Story #1Expected Date of Publication: May 29 2015
Ashby Sebastian Sterling-Haynes has had a lot of boyfriends, but he's never found the one.
The only person he can form an attachment to is his fourteen year old niece, and even that is in jeopardy when babysitting her cat goes all kinds of wrong.
Veterinarian, Connor Lawson is much happier working with animals than with people. He has deliberately returned home and to the Summer House he recalled from childhood holidays for peace and quiet and the chance to heal from wounds no one would ever see.
When his next door neighbor comes into the practice with a cat that has been in a fight he hides in his office because this Ashby guy is all kinds of dangerous. Too hot, too rich, too titled, and way too sexy for his own good.
Can two men who refuse to believe in love ever learn that love is the easy part of the journey to forever?
Review by: multitaskingmomma
My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars
Connor is a vet working with pets, wildlife and such in a small town filled with people who knew each others' business like it was their own. The personal touch is a must, the extension of a helping hand is expected and taken for granted. Connor ran away to this small village from a past he did not want to talk about. He is secretive. He is collected. He is fearful of the unexpected. He stands aside as life passes him by, unwilling to take a risk in love and relationships. Excepting his best friend.
Ashby is of noble blood. With a family tree that could rival the branches of a prehistoric oak, he comes from money and blue blood. Respected by the people living in his family's vast estate and loved by them because he was who he was: a Sterling-Haynes. Looking for a summer romance was not in his plans, babysitting a temperamental cat was. When the cat gets into a cat fight, he runs to the vet and meets the one man who did not look at him in respect. Connor. The man who not only ignored him, but also seems to hate his very presence.
Ashby knows a challenge when he sees one and determines to win Connor onto his side, his friendship and hopefully his bed. But Connor is not proving to be an easy prey so Ashby needs to set the perfect trap. Easily thought of and planned than done, especially when his secrets could take a turn and bite him where the sun don't shine.
This was just an awesome read. I mean, sweet romance always is but with characters that come to life, that makes it simply wonderful.
The Summer House is a story not just about Ashby and Connor, it is also the story of the people living under the shadow of nobility and whose lives depended on the good graces of a family. Sounds archaic, but it is truth. There are still estates around and no matter how people gripe or think it is ridiculous, these families make hard work to make their lives work. However, the pros of this setting also has their cons and we get to read a bit of them swirling around a summer romance that could just mean forever.
Broadway, Cotswolds, is the inspiration for Aston-Under-Wold, the town where I based the Veterinary practise for Connor, and the café where Ash is working for the summer. Pete's Pasties is there as well as the Coln Duck Mafia (you need to read the book to find out what I am talking about!
The street through Broadway was an ancient 'ridgeway' and the main road from Worcester to London. It is a wide street or 'broad way' hence the name.
Broadway is a Cotswolds tourist trap, swarming with people in the Summer, but in February when I visited it was quiet and peaceful. It is a small town with a large village feel, a river runs through the middle and there are horse chestnut trees, period houses and honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages.
There is history in every inch of the town. During the Civil War (Cavaliers, Roundheads) Oliver Cromwell actually spent the night at the Lygon Arms the night before the Battle of Worcester, while King Charles I had previously used the building to meet and rally his royalist supporters. I used both of these facts in The Summer House to give a sense of history to the town in the book!

Very well balanced itinerary in terms of Animal and Bird sightings. Just apt amount of Nature makes the experience rather wholesome.

Trip Note :
Essential info
Vaccinations.. There are no mandatory vaccination requirements. Recommended vaccinations are: Polio, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Typhoid, Hepatitis A. The risk of malaria is slight but you may wish to consult your GP or travel health clinic for further advice. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available for Dengue, and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take the usual precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Some of our India trips spend time at altitude. In regions over approx. 2000m, there is low to no risk of mosquito-borne diseases. For trips going to altitudes of over 3000m there is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Our itineraries are designed to enable everyone to acclimatize to these altitudes, but you should be aware that it is still possible for you to be affected.
Eating & drinking
Breakfast are included in all hotel as per itinerary. You should allow around USD 8 -12 per day for lunch and USD15 -20 for dinner (when not included). However your all meals are included in national park at your lodge or hotel. You can eat out very economical in India, but if you go to the more expensive restaurants, you will spend more than the suggested amount. In Cities Like, Mumbai, Jaipur, Varanasi, Khajuraho, Agra and Delhi there is a good choice of restaurants and a choice between Indian and Western style food. If you are a vegetarian India is probably one of the best destinations to travel to with a wide range of veg. dishes on offer; whilst at the national parks there are usually some non spicy curries but these are in limited supply. Tea and soft drinks are very expensive. We advise for drinking use only packed drinking water / Mineral water however in most of the lodge/or hotel have purified water available and they use purified water for cooking as well. A (large!) bottle of beer is approx. USD 5-7. Mineral water is widely available.
Weather & seasonality
September to April is the ideal time to visit these areas of all over India. Days are normally warm to hot and nights cool or mild. Humidity is very low and little or some rain shower can be expected now day due to climate change. In March/April and September/October it can get very hot during the day. Evenings at the game parks can be surprisingly cool, so bring a jumper or lightweight fleece as well as sun hat, sun cream and sunglasses. It gets very cold in the early mornings and evenings especially during the open safari jeep or bus between December and February and you should be prepared for this. You should bring additional warm clothing such as good fleece jackets, gloves and a scarf as it can drop to near freezing

6 March 2017, London: Hotels in Eastern Europe are benefitting from tough times in Western Europe with room values in the region seeing an impressive 11% average growth, according to the 2017 European Hotel Valuation Index (HVI) published this week by global hotel consultancy HVS.
In a year that saw little change in values across the rest of Europe hotels in Bratislava topped the list of value rises, up 18.9% year-on-year, while hotel room values in Sofia rose 16%. Bucharest saw hotel room values up 14.6%, while those in both Budapest and Prague were up 9.9%.
While many Eastern European markets saw their hotel room values rise from a relatively low base, their new affordability has helped build a strong demand base as holidays in the Eurozone become more expensive, particularly for British citizens.
"Many Eastern European markets are benefitting from the misfortune of Western Europe," commented report co-author Nicole Perreten, senior associate, HVS.
Dublin was one region in Western Europe that built on a successful 2015, appearing again in the top five. Hotel values in the city saw a 15.5% rise in 2016 on the back of double-digit RevPAR growth due to limited supply. This enabled hotels in Dublin to grow occupancy levels as well as average rates.
Hotels in Barcelona also experienced a record 2016. On the back of strong rate growth values per room rose 13.8%. Stricter regulation on new hotel development will further strengthen performance in Barcelona, bolstered by a strong conference programme this year and next.
The strengthening rouble and a slow recovery in oil prices has seen Moscow's hotel values per room rise 16.7% in local currency as its economy comes out of recession. Moscow has a strong hotel pipeline with over 6,000 rooms coming on-stream over the next 18 months.
In contrast terrorism, Brexit and an unknown future for the Eurozone have led to a decrease in values per room of around 2.1% in Western Europe.
In London hotels showed a softening of values in local currency following a slow start to 2016 and performance growth only in November and December 2016. The anticipated boom in visitation prompted by a fall in sterling failed to materialise immediately and an influx of new supply limited occupancy growth.
Edinburgh, however, saw sterling values rise 5.3% on the back of impressive occupancy levels of over 80% in 2016, while Birmingham saw sterling values rise 5.1% benefitting from increased leisure tourism.
"Regardless of political emotions coming our way, values in Europe still have some room for growth, as markets such as some of the PIGS countries continue to climb the value ladder to their rightful positions," added Sophie Perret, director, HVS.
"A subdued pipeline, coupled with decent demand growth, and room for growth value-wise if compared to 10 years ago, all bode well for Europe in 2017, although with moderation."
