Degradation of AlGaN-based metal-semiconductor-metal UV photodetectors
AlxGa1-xN-based metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSM PDs) are very attractive for the detection of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in a variety of medical, scientific, industrial, and military applications. Although high external quantum efficiencies can be achieved when the PD is illuminated from the substrate side [1-2], to our knowledge no data on the long-term operation of AlGaN-based MSM PD is published, yet.
We investigated the degradation behavior of bottom-illuminated Al0.5Ga0.5N/AlN MSM PDs grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on double-side polished c-sapphire substrates. For devices without any passivation only in the illuminated area dark dendritic features can be observed near the biased electrodes (Fig. 1) after the first 25 h of operation at 20 V and 0.4 mW/cm² intensity at 250 nm wavelength. These features are identified by EDX analysis as amorphous (Al,Ga)O growing on the surface of the AlGaN absorber (Fig. 2), most likely due to field-induced electrochemical reactions such as the anodic oxidation of the AlGaN layer, as reported by Gao et al. for AlGaN/GaN transistors [3]. Fig. 3 illustrates the corresponding processes at the Pt-electrode/air/AlGaN-system (electrochemical cell): The formation of (AlGa)O is driven by the presence of hydroxyl ions (OH-)—which are provided by adsorbed H2O from the ambient and electrons from the biased electrode—and photoexcited holes reaching the AlGaN surface. Obviously, the operation at higher UV intensities enhances this process, and as a consequence, the (Al,Ga)O finally lifts-off the biased electrodes from the AlGaN layer leaving the device useless after a couple of days of operation (< 60 h). Applying a SiN passivation layer on the AlGaN absorber (and the electrodes) suppresses the oxidation process, and therefore, significantly enhances the lifetime of the AlGaN MSM detectors. A passivated device with 340 nm SiN was operated for about 500 h at 20 V and 20 mW/cm² at 254 nm without showing any of the abovementioned signs of degradation (Fig. 2).
In conclusion, the anodic oxidation of the AlGaN absorber was identified as the dominant degradation mechanism limiting the lifetime of AlGaN-based MSM PDs. Applying a SiN-passivation layer suppressed the formation of (Al,Ga)O and enhanced the operation time from several 10 hours up to at least 500 hours. Further studies considering different SiN-thicknesses are still ongoing.

Good Energy has won a competitive tender to supply the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority with 100% renewable power.
The Wiltshire-based company is partnering with the National Park Authority to ensure all its properties will be supplied with clean electricity. This includes the National Park Visitor Centre, Craig y nos Country Park, and the Park's headquarters in Brecon.
The contract was won based on the lowest cost green tariff; in total, Good Energy will provide over 147,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity each year. This is an estimated saving of 51,000 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide, equivalent to a new car driving from London to Beijing 40 times.
The new contract forms part of the National Park's strategy to reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions and lead by example. New electric vehicle charging infrastructure is currently being installed at the Authority's two main sites to support the transition to clean transport. Good Energy will also be supplying clean power at these new charging points as well, reassuring car owners that their vehicle is powered by a sustainable source.
Juliet Davenport, Founder and CEO at Good Energy, said:
"We're delighted to be working with Brecon Beacons National Park Authority on this new project, which will foster the area's long-term sustainability.
"It's natural for the Park to be supplied by clean power in its role as protector, and educator, of the Beacons' environmental importance. Good Energy looks forward to supporting this vital work in the years to come".
Julian Atkins, CEO at Brecon Beacons National Park Authority, added:
"At the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority we are focused on conservation and sustainability. We recognise the major impacts of climate change and want to lead by example in relation to the use of renewable energy. We are pleased and proud to be partnering with Good Energy to supply the Authority with renewable power."

2 stories by the same writer highlight how differently we view talented men and women.
We've really got to stop doubting women's talents — for the sake of us all.
When news broke that Cathy Yan was tapped to direct the upcoming "Suicide Squad" spin-off "Birds of Prey," a lot of people were pretty excited.
Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr. was first to report that Yan, whose only other feature-length credit was directing the small-budget darling of Sundance "Dead Pigs," would take the helm of the film fronted by Margot Robbie.
Yan will become the first Asian woman to direct a big-budget superhero movie and the third female director in the DC Extended Universe alongside Patty Jenkins ("Wonder Woman") and Ava DuVernay ("New Gods"). Given the less-than-pleasant reviews of director David Ayers' "Suicide Squad" (currently sitting at an abysmal 27% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes), Yan's hire could be the key to saving the franchise.

Hazards, and the risks that arise from them, are around us all the time. There are so many risks that if we stopped and thought about it we could be overwhelmed. It is simply not possible to manage all the risks facing an organisation but neither is it desirable or necessary to do so.
A key task of the risk management process is to identify which risks need to be managed and which do not. This ensures that management attention and the organisation's resources are not wasted. So, how do you decide which risks to manage?
Context Is Everything
The first step is to understand the organisation's current situation and the objectives it is pursuing. It is a key task of senior management to clearly and continuously communicate to employees the objectives the organisation is seeking to achieve, how it is going to achieve them, and what resources and capabilities are being employed to do so.
Senior management should also regularly summarise the broader context in which the organisation is operating, highlighting any hazards it perceives on the horizon. Such a summary may cover political, regulatory, economic, environmental, etc, issues that may affect the organisation over a specified timeframe. It should cover the competitive situation of the organisation, too.
With the context established the risk management process can be put to work to identify hazards and manage the risks that arise from it. For example, new data protection laws being introduced may affect how the organisation conducts its marketing activities. Financial, regulatory and operational risks all arise from this hazard and they should be a subject of the risk management process.
No Process is An Island
Risk management should not happen in isolation but be fully integrated into the organisation's wider processes to ensure that it operates within a broader organisational context. This will enable the risk management process to both influence, and be influenced by, these processes. Examples of such processes include the planning process, the budgeting process and the capability development process.
These processes will identify hazards that could cause the organisation harm and it is the purpose of the risk management process to understand the risks that arise from these hazards and to develop and implement plans to manage them. Thus the budgeting process may identify the hazard of a shortfall in working capital in the next financial year and this should be fed into the risk management process.
Similarly the risk management process will generate outputs that will influence other organisational processes and activity. The plans developed and implemented to manage a projected shortfall in working capital will be the primary output of the risk management process. These plans may require action to be taken in many other parts of the organisation than just the finance department.
This points to a key feature of an integrated risk management process – it sits above and astride other organisational processes. The risks arising from a projected shortfall in working capital will affect all parts of the organisation and consequently the budgeting process is not the appropriate process to manage these risks. The budgeting process should identify the hazard but it is the risk management process that should develop and coordinate the organisation's response.
Risk Tolerance
Another task for senior management is to specify the amount of risk that an organisation is prepared to tolerate. Some risks are so improbable and/or so inconsequential that the cost in management time and organisational resources is not justified by the harm that will arise from a hazard occurring. Given this reality senior management may state that all risks of a given level or lower will be tolerated, i.e. not subject to any further risk management activity beyond ongoing monitoring.
It is neither necessary or desirable to manage all the risks that challenge an organisation. Only those risks that are contextually relevant, arise from another organisational process, and/or exceed a stated risk tolerance should be subject to formal risk management. Anything additional to this at the management's discretion.

Economist: high rent prices in Riga contribute to emigration
The high rent prices may be the reason why in spite of low unemployment levels and shortage of labour force people from Latvia's regions depart to foreign countries, not Riga, says Citadele Bank's economist Mārtiņš Āboliņš.
«This means the housing matter in the capital city and certain other cities may have become one of the narrowest places in Latvia's economy,» says Āboliņš.
«Apartment rent prices in Riga may be one of the highest among all EU capital cities. This is the conclusion that comes from comparing rent prices, wages and living costs in Riga and other EU capital cities,» explains the economist.
Citadele Bank's expert says Riga plays a much bigger role in Latvia's economy than capital cities of other European countries. He reminds that more than half of Latvia's residents live in Riga and they produce nearly 70% of GDP. The economist adds that IT technologies and other forms of business services rapidly develop in Riga, with average wage having exceeded EUR 1 1000 before taxes, GDP per capita is close to the average EU level, unemployment only at 3.7%, and companies suffer a shortage of employees, which is why there are more and more talks about attracting foreign labourers.
There are objective and major factors for domestic migration
Āboliņš says people from regions are more likely to leave the country than go live in Riga.
Data from the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia shows that between 2016 and 2018 a total of 9 500 residents had moved from Latvia's regions to the capital city, whereas the number of people who had left for foreign countries reaches 13 000.
Āboliņš explains that, considering birth and death rates, the number of people in Riga's surrounding area has not changed, whereas the population outside Riga region has declined by more than 30 000.
«It is hard to believe people unable to find jobs in regions have sufficient skills to work elsewhere in Europe and not enough to find work in Riga,» comments the economist.
«This allows for the possibility that there are objective factors that prevent people from moving to Riga or any other economically active city. There are many reasons, but I believe the rent market in Riga and the situation on the housing market may be a notable factor,» says Āboliņš.
Emigration is the more economically rational decision
Āboliņš says it is cheaper to rent housing in Riga then it is in other capital cities. However, wages in Latvia are low but living costs are high.
«If we compare rent prices not with average wages but with free funds left after covering basic needs, it turns out rent prices in Riga are some of the highest in Europe,» explains the economist.
«Basically rent takes away all income of a family with two children after paying for basic needs. This means saving up for housing purchase is very difficult for residents,» says the economist.
«At the same time, rent of equal housing in one of Western Europe's capital city would cost about half of residents' income. This means a family of four is able to afford more long-lasting use products, travel, rent a bigger home and make savings,» says the bank's expert.
He says such a situation present in Latvia's economy means employers have a hard time filling vacant jobs the pay in which is below average in Riga, because unless a person owns housing in Riga or the employer is unable to provide housing, emigration becomes a more economically rational decision.
The economist reminds that the expensive nature of the housing market is a global phenomenon that is contributed to by urbanization and the effect that economic activity is largely concentrated in capital cities. This is no exception for Latvia – over the past 30 years the population in the country has declined, whereas the population around Riga has remained stable for five years.
More organized legislation would stimulate construction of new housing
«Wages in Latvia continue growing, construction volumes will change in the next decade, as will demand to housing, because very low birth rates in the 90s has caused the reduction of new families,» predicts Āboliņš.
«Nevertheless, migration flow towards Riga will likely continue, and after decades the apartment homes built during the Soviet era will be 60 – 70 years old. Unfortunately, nowadays we do not invest in this fund's renovation, nor are we actively building new homes to replace old ones,» the expert predicts.
He also notes there are no quick and simple solutions to combat this problem. Nevertheless, the state may become involved by adopting a new law on rent to improve construction processes, and more actively contribute to renovation of the housing fund. It is also necessary to think about the state's more active involvement in construction of housing.
«Lasting and unpredictable construction process increases costs, whereas flaws with legislation do not motivate the private sector to cooperate,» reminds Āboliņš.
The economist admits a more organized legislation would stimulate construction of new housing. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to think about attraction of investments to help restore the existing housing fund. EU funds have made heating more accessible. However, Riga does not use this tool often. This is because there is fractured structure of housing owners and the complicated decision-making process.
«The established management model has not been able to resolve the matter of housing renovation. This is why the state should consider a more active approach, such as transitioning from an opt-in approach for at least standard projects to opt-out for projects in which renovation is compulsory and automatic unless owners decide to reject it,» explains Āboliņš.
The economist also proposes considering a more active involvement of the state or municipalities in the construction of the residential fund. Specific examples show this is possible, and the economist is confident it is possible to find solutions, considering the programme is outside the state budget and does not affect funding for other industries.

This article is focused on exposing the clear improvements you will experience by changing from traditional training methods to more modern and effective ones, by the hand of Hortomallas.
Espalier is an antique training system that allows you to grow a fruit tree or a shrub against a flat support structure, creating kind of a living sculpture. Originally, the French word "espalier" referred to the structure on which the tree was trained to grow on, but today it is used to talk about the technique itself. Espalier is a quite ancient system and was used by Europeans (and maybe even by Egyptians too) in the Middle Ages to create outdoor walls and to ornament gardens.
Now, you might be wondering "why espalier?", well, besides the obvious aesthetic phactor, it is a considerably simple way to grow fruit trees in reduced spaces; it makes tasks, such as picking and maintenance, a lot easier since it totally gets you rid of the need of using a ladder.
If it is the first time you are trying this method you must know that there are some fruit trees varieties that are much easier to espalier than others, and those tend to be the ones that take more time to harden their stems. Apples, pears, peaches and pomegranates are good options , being apples the most popular one. Truth is that you can try espalier almost any kind of fruit tree, as long as your zone's climate allows it and keeping in mind that dwarf trees species are more suitable for this technique. Regardless of what kind of tree you choose, the success of this method will be determined by the location and the support on which your tree will grow. The spot itself should be about 8 feet (2.43 m) of linear space in which your tree should receive at least six hours of sunlight per day. Well drainage is also an important factor to take care about; the healthy growth of your tree will depend on the quality of the soil and how far the roots of the tree are from the espalier structure.
But espalier is not only for training trees, it also works amazingly with woody vines and shrubs such as holly species, star magnolia, gardenia, jasmine and viburnum, to name a few. Advantages and technique stay the same, the only remarkable point is that obviously, being that bushes and vines are lighter than trees, the support structure will not need to be as sturdy as with larger plants. Even though this technique is mostly focused on giving a more formal look to gardens, many agronomists use it in their favor to facilitate and speed up the cultivation process, having better results with vine plants such as cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and some other species. That is why hortomallas meshes are such a good option when to espalier your fields is about. Besides the already mentioned advantages of the method, hortomallas gives you the comfort, quality and sanitary conditions that you are looking for.
Wood structures and walls are for sure a very sturdy espalier support, but also are materials that tend to absorb moisture, and hence, to host a large amount of pathogens and fungi that end up affecting the health of your plants. Hortomallas plastic meshes, being inorganic, do not lodge any type of bacteria that could cause infections; conversely, it offers strong support for at least 5 years and taking care of your production at the same time. It is very common to see people using wire and other metallic materials to train and support their plants, but this also implies oxidation of the stems in long term, which causes very difficult to heal infections. To prevent wire and metal hooks from damaging your plants, try hortomallas plastic rings instead; they are reusable, cheaper and improve the phytosanitary conditions of your fields.
There are several espalier forms you can choose from, some more informal and others more difficult to achieve, but each one works better for a determined purpose. Here we will explain to you the step by step of how to form the three-tier horizontal cordon, one of the easiest forms as much as for trees as for vegetables, and the most adequate when espaliering fields:
- Hortomallas espalier mesh already has the necessary height for this purpose, so instead of marking the altitude limit of the plant you want to espalier, you will only need to indicate where the central stem will be. If you want to espalier several plants in the same row always make sure they are at least 4 feet (1.2 m) away from each other.
- Once you have indicated where the trunks will be it is time to mark at what height these should be trained to grow to the sides. You can do this by simply attaching an Hortoclip every 16 inches, starting to measure the distance from the ground, until you reach the top of the espalier mesh. You will use these hortoclips later to attach the stems to the mesh.
- When planting the size of the hole and the season will depend on the especie you choose, but in most cases the trunk should be 4 or 5 inches (10 or 13 cm) away from the mesh.
- When the plant has reached the first Hortoclip cut the trunk just above a bud, making sure there are at least three more below this one. This will force the plant to grow more branches near the height where you attached the first Hortoclip. As the plant sprouts new shoots, pick the three thickest and prune the rest of them. These will be the ones that you will tie to left, right and center when they reach the appropriate length (3 or 4 inches/8 or 10 cm). The result should be kind of a T shape.
- You will only repeat this process when the horizontal branches have reached at least three quarters of the final length they should have (7.6 feet/2.33 m). Once it has happened, you can repeat the process until you each the last mark on the mesh.
The measures mentioned above are merely referential, but are used in most of the plants used for espaliering. The result of using Hortomallas espalier mesh, together with Hortoclips, is that you will have a better shaped, larger and healthier product as a result, in half the time and expending less money than with other methods.

Crypto Ticker
In this project you'll use React and a 3rd-party API as a data to create a real-time price tracker for some popular cryptocurrencies.
- Use state in React
- Render data from an API request in React
- Use
setIntervalto repeat
- Use React the following lifecycle methods:
- Use React Component subclasses
- Use stateless-functional components in React
Use the following API endpoint to fetch data and display it in your application:
The data should refresh periodically. Using the
id field in the API results for each currency, you can get the URL for the logo of a coin like this:
Explorer Mode
- Create a new react app
- Fetch new currency data from the API endpoint every 10 seconds.
- Update the applications state with currency data from the API.
- Create an HTML table to display the currency data in the application state.
- Use props to render table rows as child components for each currency in the application state.
- Use stateless-functional components where appropriate.
Adventure Mode
- If the updated price of a currency is higher than the last update, show the price in green. If it's lower, show the price in red. HINT: You'll probably want to look into additional lifecycle methods for your React components to accomplish this.
Epic Mode
- How else could we present the changing price to the user? Look into Edward Tufte's sparklines, how do you think this could be implemented as a React component? Try using a third party library to render a sparkline for each currency.
Additional Resources
- State and Lifecycle in the React Documentation
- AJAX and APIs in the React Documentation

My favourite shampoo.
This shampoo really is just gorgeous: it leaves a lovely clean, floral scent on your hair and leaves it fresh and lovely. Two problems: one, sniffing your hair all day and two, hiding it from family members so they don't swipe it!
Like how clean it makes your feel
I live in Florida and this shampoo is so refreshing for hot sticky days in Florida, it has mint or some kind of menthol and gives nice cooling effect to my sculp. It smells really good, fresh, which is big for me, because some of the shampoos in L'Occitane smell to much like a medicine and I can't handle the smell. Not this one, this shampoo smells so fresh.

By utilizing sturdy laborers' pay out programming, assert execution associated with the association can end up being progressed. By viable cases administration and settlement you can remunerate decently and rapidly as well as spare operational expenses.

We are considering selling T-shirts, coffee cups, water bottles, and other items in our church's welcome center. These items have our church logo on them. Does the logo make them "related" to our nonprofit status, or does this create unrelated business income? And does it make a difference if the proceeds go to, say, "youth missions" versus church revenue? And lastly, do you have any insights on paying sales tax on such items?
First off, it doesn't matter if your proceeds go toward youth missions or your general revenue budget. What matters is whether or not the items being sold are substantially related to your exempt purposes. Something does not become "related" just because you put your church logo on it.
Determining whether or not an item creates unrelated business income must be determined through an item-by-item analysis. For example, let's say you sell a T-shirt with a Scripture verse or a Christian symbol—like a cross—on it and the shirt comes with a gospel tract or instructions on how to become a Christian. The sale of a T-shirt in this manner is more likely substantially related to the exempt purposes of spreading the gospel.

Swiss Bank Ensd Secrecy on Bank Accounts - Switzerland, in a bid to avoid being blacklisted as an uncooperative tax haven, has said it will ease its banking secrecy norms, and agreed to cooperate with foreign tax authorities seeking information on cases with concrete information. Switzerland, Andorra, and Liechtenstein have become the latest to agree to follow OECD norms for sharing banking information, after rising pressure from the rest of Europe. Meanwhile, the Swiss central bank took the unprecedented step of intervening to push down the value of the Swiss Franc, which has soared in the recent past as investors flocked to a haven. Battling a slowdown in theeconomy, the Swiss central bank felt that an unnaturally high Swiss Franc would tighten monetary conditions. (The Economic Times)

Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace. ~G. K. Chesterton
There's nothing we love more that The Holidays. We love the energy that comes with the lights, the decorations, the gift giving, the sparkle and shine.
The Holidays is also the busiest time of year in the PR world. From Holiday Gift Guides to Year End/New Year pitches, this is usually a critical time of year for our clients. Then add editor and client gifts ... we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't love it.
In the midst of all the madness, we want to take the time to thank our clients, the press and all of you, whom we've had the pleasure to work with this past year. We are grateful that we get to work with amazing, talented and passionate people everyday. You help us do what we do best.
As we close another successful year, we at Ink & Press wish you all the love, beauty and peace the season has to offer.

Meaning - Inverse Trigonometric Functions
An equation for the inverse of y = f(x) = sin x is obtained by interchanging x and
More commonly the inverse functions are denoted by:
y = sec-1
x means x = sec y where |x| and 0 <=
y <= ,y
y = csc-1
x means x = csc y where |x| and -/2 <= y <= /2, y
y = cot-1
x means x = cot y where |x| and -
< |x| <
and 0 <= y <=
For example, sin-1 1/2 =
/6 because sin
/6 is 1/2. For the graph
of sin-1
, the values of
are taken along the
x-axis and the vertical y-axis and the graph is obtained as the
sine wave turns sideways so that
becomes y and y becomes
and the function returns
to the value between -/2
/2. Once you go through
the instructor's explanation in the video, it'll be easy for you to understand about
these inverse trigonometric functions.

Math Challenge for the Weekend
Here is your weekend homework for math. Sign in to Manga High and complete the Place Value Challenge! Click on the picture below or here.
We have been exploring point of view and perspective in Social Learning and Language Arts. What is perspective? The Wordsmyth.net online dictionary defines it as the way things are seen from a particular point of view. So what is point of view? A way of thinking about of looking at something. We discovered this week that two people can have different opinions about something depending on their point of view and neither one is lying or wrong. Watch the clip.
We also talked about point of view when reading and writing stories. A story is told from a particular point of view by the narrator. When the narrator uses I, you and we, they are telling the story using the First Person point of view. When the narrator used he, she or they, they are telling the story using the Third Person point of view. Click on the picture to review and practice determining which point of view the narrator is using.
When you are finished write your own short story (5 sentences minimum) using either First Person point of view or Third Person Point of View. Please tell me which one you chose (eg. I am writing this story using First Person Point of View. You may write the story on a piece of paper, use your computer and print your story or send it to me via email (your parent has my email address!) or use the form below. Your short story is due on Friday, Feb. 24th.
Perspective taking or understanding others point of view is a challenge for many people. We often assume that others feel the same way we do or we just don't think about how they feel at all. To work, play and get along with others we need to adjust our thoughts and behaviours to those of the group around us.
Michelle Garcia Winner is a speech therapist from the U.S. who has been working on social thinking for the last ten years. She has presented her approach a number of times in Vancouver. Her approach has been adopted by many teachers, therapists and parents to teach their children or themselves to have more successful interactions with others.
This week in Social Learning we are exploring understanding different perspective and will begin a process called Social Behavior Mapping. You can find this week's lesson under the Social Thinking tab.
The Mapping process can be used both at home and school to explain how and why others feel when they encounter "unexpected behaviours". Listen to Michelle explain the Social Behaviour Mapping process in the videos below.
Social Behavior Mapping Part 1
Social Behavior Mapping Part 2
Social Behavior Mapping Part 3
Social Behavior Mapping Part 4
How Much is a Million?
Classroom Cash/Token Economy
A tried and true method for behaviour change is a token economy. Students receive points for using expected behaviours. Each block is worth a maximum of 10 points or $10 dollars. Students keep track of their own points throughout the day and meet with the teacher a couple of times to receive their money and discuss their behaviour.
The maximum amount that can be earned each day is $200.00. The expected behaviours include displaying a positive attitude; following the classroom rules and routines; listening and following directions; work effort and completing work. Students take their responsibility seriously and are very honest when giving themselves points.
Money earned is used to purchase Earned Free Time; and self-selected items for our local dollar store. $400.00 earns a Peel and Win prize.
We have a couple of milestones last week. Donovan earned his first $1000.00 bill for a perfect week and Gabe earned making paper airplanes for 15 minutes with the class. A job well done by both boys.

Going to the same school as mum's and living in the official accomodation for the teacher's meant that we had to behave ourselves where ever we went. I mean literally watch out as to what we were doing in the complex, what music we listen to, what do we eat and all. The best thing was to say 'namaste' to anyone and everyone. That world had its own charm. Being brought up in a multi-cultural environment meant that all the festivals were ours. We got to celebrate Christmas and Eid with the same enthusiasm as Diwali.
Much before the so called 'event-management' courses started, we were given tasks to organize events at our beloved AN(allrite for starters its our haven Acharya Niwas). Dahi handi, Ganeshotsav, Holika, Holi-Sangeet, Diwali-Dhamaka, Haldi-kumkum, Sunder-kand,Baal-Vihar were the events we were so busy with that Holidays hardly mattered. We did everything from arranging for food to making posters to setting up the music to putting up the durries to cleaning up. Almost anything and everything.
At AN we were one BIG FAMILY.
I miss that family, and so does everyone else who's been a part of AN. We've left it eons ago but it still feels like yesterday. I still want to go back to that place where i tumbled, fell for the 'nth' time, shouted and screamed when got out in 7 Tiles, hid myself in the corners behind the gol-tanki, played 4-Pillars in the basement till Swami uncle made us run, scratched n tore open the seats of scooters of uncles who would shout on us for making noise, aimed the rocket to ahem-ahems house to take revenge, rang the door bell and ran away, threw eggs with water balloons on Holi, danced non stop on Dandiya Night, ate those world-famous in navy nagar pandey ke garma-garam samose n jalebi, saw the whole world flooded from a haven on 7th floor, sat on the pani-ka-tanki on terrace when mum ws angry, saw the IFR for free from my own window, the beautiful princess street from the living room, well did almost everything that AN got on our shores.
I only wish that we get to relive it atleast for a day or atleast the future gennext who gets the privilege to live in at AN, values it as much as we do.
P.S- Sorry guys had no pic of AN, so m unable to put it up. These are few clicks clicked from B-71.
If any of you has it, please mail me on gr8heena@gmail .com

Pledge of Nonviolence
God is always the answer. FAITH...HOPE...CHARITY... and so I wish for Truth as shown by God and my commitment is to the Pledge of Nonviolence.
Pledge of Nonviolence
1. As you prepare to march meditate on the life and teachings of Jesus
2. Remember the nonviolent movement seeks justice and reconciliation - not victory.
3. Walk and talk in the manner of love; for God is love.
4. Pray daily to be used by God that all men and women might be free.
5. Sacrifice personal wishes that all might be free.
6. Observe with friend and foes the ordinary rules of courtesy.
7. Perform regular service for others and the world.
8. Refrain from violence of fist, tongue and heart.
9. Strive to be in good spiritual and bodily health.
10. Follow the directions of the movement leaders and of the captains on demonstrations.
The Five Principles of Non-Violence
1. Non-violent resistance is not a method for cowards. It does resist. The nonviolent resister is just as strongly opposed to the evil against which he protests, as is the person who uses violence. His method is passive or nonaggressive in the sense that he is not physically aggressive toward his opponent, but his mind and emotions are always active, constantly seeking to persuade the opponent that he is mistaken. This method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually; it is nonaggressive physically but dynamically aggressive spiritually.
2. Nonviolent resistance does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent, but to win his friendship and understanding. The nonviolent resister must often express his protest through noncooperation or boycotts, but he realizes that noncooperation and boycotts are not ends themselves; they are merely means to awaken a sense of moral shame in the opponent.
3. The attack is directed against forces of evil rather than against persons who are caught in those forces. It is a struggle between justice and injustice, between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.
4. Nonviolent resistance avoids not only external physical violence, but also internal violence of spirit. At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.
5. Nonviolence is based on the conviction that the universe is on the side of justice. It is the deep faith in the future that allows a nonviolent resister to accept suffering without retaliation. The nonviolent resister knows that in his struggle for justice, he has a cosmic companionship.

Jon Voight's Letter To The American People
Below is the text of the letter:
"In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of.
President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed. Now the lie goes very deep and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it would be very important that every American knows what that method is.
It is a socialistic, Marxist teaching and with it, little by little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremists. The world looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power.
The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women, from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world country.
This will be the first president to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda, against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies.
Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics; they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators.
Let us all stay in Gods light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail. God bless us all!"

Introducing the 10 pack of pink flat cones from Quickplay Sport. They are designed to be non-slip, keeping their place when trod on and not becoming damaged. The pack includes 2 markers of each colour. They're 7.5 inches in diameter (190mm), made from TPE, very soft and flexible.
The ring design of these cones allows you to collect them onto your arm quickly and easily. You can store up to 50 on your arm at one time, saving you time when setting up and putting away training games.
Because the cones are non-marking, they can be used on a whole range of surfaces, no matter where you're playing.
These markers come in bright pink to help players spot them in all weather conditions.

Foosball, Table Soccer, Table Football, Babyfoot, Fuzboll, Footzy – whatever you choose to call it, the beginning of foosball is a little shaky in the history books, but that doesn't defer from its popularity to play the game.
The inventor of the game is unclear. Some have credited a British man, Harold Searles Thornton with the game's creation, since he was the first to receive a patent for the game in 1923. There are others claims that during the 1880s – 1890s, the game of foosball began showing up across Europe as a parlor game. Another claim is that in the 1930s a French inventor, Lucien Rosengart, came up with the game when he was looking for things to keep his grandchildren entertained.
While Spain also wants credit for the game, claiming that Alexandre de Finesterre invented it while hospitalized with injuries from the Spanish Civil War. He supposedly patented it in 1937, but the paperwork was lost. We don't know which was truly first, but we do know we are happy the game was created!
There are six main variations of foosball around the world; American, Czech Republic, French, German, Italian and Spanish. This is usually the difference in one-man or three-man goalie set-up, the surface used to play on, or the weight of the players. Carrom Foosball Tables give you the option of a one-man or three-man goalie when you're setting up your game.
Fun Findings:
- The first American-made foosball table was created by Hayes and Furr in 1970, when the height of its popularity was booming.
- In 1978 the World Championship awarding the highest tournament prize of $1 Million dollars was played.
- Expert players have the ability to make those mini soccer balls fly up to 35 mph.
- Some refer to the foosball players as a, "fooser."
- The longest table foosball table is 121.40 m (398 ft 3.52 in) and was achieved by Marco Berry Onlus (Italy), in Turin, Italy, on September 25, 2015 — 424 players are able to play simultaneously, the record attempt raised money to be donated to the MAS CTH which is a children's hospital in Hargeisa, Somalia.
- The longest marathon playing table foosball (doubles) is 61 hours and 17 minutes, achieved by Alexander Kuen, Manuel Larcher, Bernd Neururer and Dietmar Neururer (all Austria), in Innsbruck, Austria, on August 29, 2012 to September 1, 2012.
- Frenchman Lucien Rosengart, referred to the original game as "babyfoot" in his claim as the original inventor.
With the continuing love of foosball, we wanted to make Carrom's Signature Foosball Tables even better. Our upgraded model arrives mostly pre-assembled. We took care of the hard part so you can spend more time playing and less time building!
All of the premium features make this a favored game for any family rec room. Did we mention it has drink holders and conveniently placed ball entry cups and high-impact ball returns?!
