Situation Analysis
The future of India depends upon the quality of education imparted to our children. There are 43,447 Government Primary Schools and 3,029 Government High Schools in the state of AndhraPradesh. Though the Government has initiated several programmes to ensure quality education free of cost, the schools in the villages and even the cities are crippled with poor infrastructural facilities, poor supply of Mid-day meals, inadequate teachers and neglect of quality in teaching. We believe the onus of change lies primarily with the Govt. but we realize that given the current scenario, intervention by concerned citizen groups can make a significant positive impact on the system.
With the introduction of the School Adoption' programme in 2008, concrete interventions by individuals or groups are being recognized and initiated as an integral part of the development of Govt. schools. A significant amount of time, capital and efforts are invested to get such programmes operational but a lack of structured implementation makes them unsustainable even in the medium term. In most cases, providing resources to a school is the only step implemented. There is no further involvement of the group in either monitoring these initiatives or evaluating their results, thus rendering these interventions absolutely ineffective in the long term. This scenario led us to the model that aims at providing the government school interventions multi-sectoral advantages and initiates the growth of volunteering that would eventually make these interventions viable and sustainable.
Ever wondered how to make the difference you've always wanted to make? Look no further! We give you the syllabus; we give you the training and we put you where you are needed most! All we need from you is JUST two hours a week! Come join the ranks as a SAHAYA volunteer and be the difference that you wish to see in the world.
Sahaya History
The implementation of this simple idea was slightly more complex. Principal of the Government school MEDAK opened his doors and the sahaya activates had found its first space.
The next challenge was to grab students presence towards us and make them understand how important education in their life at present generation for the survival. And for this we made ourselves drop to their standards to make them understand easily.
The truth was that we didn't really know exactly what we were doing. What we knew was that we wanted to make a difference, that we believed that every child deserved a space and time each day where they could just be children. So we motivated few of our classmates and selected them as volunteers, convincing them that "together we can make a difference."
With volunteers, children's in Govt School, the next question became what to teach. The volunteers met on one day and thought of all the issues and troubles they faced when they were in school. The first very basic program emerged from these meetings - carrier guidance, general awareness and fun filled education. The aim - a good time for the children - was clear. A good time that would make a difference.
So we started. There were days when volunteers asked, "but you said we were going to make a difference. What difference are we making?" And other days where we just knew that one day it would make a difference.
For each children
1. A strong educational foundation in English and Math
2. A sense of self-esteem and values
3. A good time where children learn with joy, both in and out of the classroom
4. Tools that they can use to create a future livelihood for themselves and prepare them for life.
Sahaya encourages children to dream but more importantly, aspires to empower them to deliver on their dreams.
School Project
The Sahaya Project represents to work within the formal school system. It is an effort by Sahaya to extend its activities in the field of education, leveraging our experiences with less privileged children to improve the quality of learning in Municipal and Private Aided Schools. Specifically, we hope to provide inputs in the fields of teaching, extra-curricular activities and community support that will significantly enhance the learning opportunities for children in formal schools.
The Sahaya Project has the following objectives:
• We believe that each individual is precious, unique and a reservoir of resources. We endeavour to provide opportunities which will enable a large number of children to reach their full potential in the areas of social, emotional, intellectual, physical growth based on Indian ethos and values.
Key focus areas
The Sahaya School Project will focus its efforts on four key areas:
• Improve the quality of learning in the schools by bringing in new teaching methodologies while adhering to the current school curriculum.
• Introduce extra-curricular activities with enhanced curriculum to supplement classroom learning and provide opportunities for children to develop holistically.
A perfect plan is worked out for each school based on their specific requirements, but the list below gives examples of Sahaya's activities.
• Extra-curricular support
• Art/Craft, Dance/Drama and PT/Sports programs
• Educational outings for the children of the school
• Annual day function by the school children
• Educational inputs
• English study classes for children in classes 8th, 9th and 10th across all mediums.
• Computer classes

Sahaya Art world aims at developing observation, perception and creative potential through an art curriculum that includes the basics of drawing, painting, traditional Indian art forms and craft activities. At Art Class, groups of children meet in a fun and laughter-filled environment to produce artwork for handmade greeting cards, bags, paintings, and other items.
At art class children's will be thought with the basics of drawing, painting according to the respective students interests. After few sessions Art team will conduct an art fest whish is included in the upcoming event of the School fest.
Science and Fair
Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, as well as to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Science as discussed in this article is sometimes termed experimental science to differentiate it from applied science, the application of scientific research to specific human needs — though the two are often interconnected.
Coming to science fair generally a competition where contestants present their science project results in the form of a report, display board, and models that they have created. Science fairs allow students in grade schools and high schools to compete in science and/or technology activities.
Some people pointed to the primary school experience as one factor which may actually discourage students from taking further interest in the sciences. They place too much focus on competition, a charge which science fair supporters answer by pointing to the real life competitive nature of awarding scientific grants and even the Nobel Prize.
Often, prizes in science fairs do not go to the best science, but to technology that is currently fashionable (green technology or health-related projects, for example). Judges often over-compensate for the possibility of parental involvement and downgrade advanced students who do work beyond what most of their peers are capable of.
The main idea behind this concept was to bring out the some of the factors which could help the students in a different situations. They are
These considerations can hopefully serve as a starting point for SAHAYA who are considering setting up a science fair, or thinking of having their students participate in a science fair competition.
Sports Education for children
Sport education is useful for children by these ways
• Improve physical fitness
• Improve confidence through learning skills and success
• Help children to learn to control their impulses - this is necessary for success in sport as well as social relationships
• Help build friendships
• Start lifetime interests
• Help children learn about rules and fair play
• Help children to cope with winning and losing
• Help children do better at school work.
Personality Development
Sahaya teaches them the basics of positive thinking, how to improve their communication skills and confidence levels. We have more games which are inclined towards improving their performance levels in exams and personality development. Goal setting and goal distinction based on their interests.
Sahaya teaches children to improve not only the cofidence level of the students by conducting some games which improve their communication skills and presentation skills also these classes will help them to know the world. We have some other classes which increase their maturity level required for their age limits towards the worldly things like what are things that should be given importance and what not to be.
Personality development program will improve their way of thinking , give them the right boost up for going ahead in their life's with the appropriate perception towards their further studies and future planing's for their life's making them good and better citizens of India. Clear goals set and clarity in future work from now.

We try to empower these children with English, Computer knowledge and other necessary life skills to help them succeed in life and harness their true potential.
After Std X, the curriculum is in English. They are unable to cope and therefore do not pursue their studies. The apparent pointlessness of studying till STD X causes students to drop out in lower classes. They are not prepared in vital areas like communication skills, basic computer awareness etc.
We solve this problem by teaching them English, computer skills and life skills so that by STD X, they are ready to move to English medium and prevent drop outs. In addition to this we organize personality development camps and vocational training for our children.
We want to bring about a situation where all children can select a career based on their aspirations and potential rather than on their financial situation.

Over the past year or so the favorite phrase of the democrats regarding the war in Iraq usually has been a variation of "We are calling for a full redeployment of troops." The term redeploy (or slight variations of it) as used by Democrats completely drives me up the wall and is the stupidest word I have heard used in a politics. And the funny thing is, the media never-ever calls them out it. What a bunch of hacks.
Redeploy, especially to those of us with military backgrounds, implies sending a deployed troop from one deployment to a different one; something like redeploying a troop from Iraq to Afghanistan. If it doesn't conjur this view up, it makes us think a soldier is being deployed yet again after a short stint home. But does any soldier actually hear the term "redeployment" and think, "hey, that means I'm going home?" Probably not, at least not until it became a political buzz word for our anti-Iraq left.
Basically the term redeployment is a rouse. It is a cover term that carries far less political baggage that saying we are going tuck our tails, retreat, and run home in the face of even the slightest opposition. Certainly by using the term redeployment, it protects the dems politically. Most Americans don't pay attention to where candidates actually stand, nor do they care (just look at the success of Obama); basically we allow uninformed ignorant people to choose our leaders. So the average voter hears the term redeployment and thinks, "oh they care about the troops and are going to bring them home in an honorable and militaristic fashion", for the word redeployment sounds militaristic. What a bunch of suckers.
The thing that drives me nuts it that no one that I have seen, until this post, has called anyone out for it. Am I the only one that notices this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It reminds of how no one seems to notice that the phrase "I could care less" makes absolutely no sense". What is wrong with people? Anyway, let's stop allowing the left a free pass for making up words (is redeploy even a word?) and then using them to try to con the people. In fact, we should call out people from whatever persuasion for doing this. We should demand that the lefties say what they mean and that is, "we need to surrender and bring are troops home now." Hold their feet to the fire.

Trying to create new recipe
Bad Andy posted a topic in Basic RecipesHello, Looking forward in my upcoming brew schedule, I want to make an easy drinking summertime fruity beer. I have an extra can of Canadian Blond HME, and plan on using that. I have really liked the partial mash recipes that I have been doing. I haven't decided on the fruit to be used yet, but am leaning toward strawberry or perhaps Boysenberry. My thought for the recipe is to partial mash 4oz of Pilsen Malt, 2 oz of Carapils, 4 oz of 2-Row, and 2-4 oz of red wheat flakes. This would get added to the canned HME. (note: regular LBK size 2-1/2 gallon recipe). I am not looking to make a super strong beer, but not sure how much the above will add to the OG. If necessary, I could add some DME, but don't think that will be needed. I would brew this with either Mt. Hood hops or Glacier Hops. After 3 weeks in primary, I would rack to secondary and add the fruit for another 2-3 weeks. I would use a clean yeast such as WLP001, WLP051 or WLP029. In regards to the fruit, i plan on washing real good, then soaking the outside for a few minutes in sanitizer. I would then blend the fruit into a nice slurry in a sanitized blender, and add the beer on top. Anybody have any other suggestions? Does this recipe seam to be too much going on, or am I on the right track?

Equifax breach has banks tightening their defenses, counseling customers
Asking bankers to comment on the Equifax data breach generally evokes a cone of silence forged out of a combination of sympathy and fear — I'm not going to speak about it because it could happen to me.
"Even if you're really good, stuff can happen," the chief information officer of a large financial services organization said privately. "I don't want to throw stones because I also live in a glass house."
A few, though, will acknowledge the toll the breach has taken on their customers and their security departments, which have scrambled to ensure they won't share (or haven't shared) Equifax's fate.
"I double-checked that we had that security flaw patched, and we did," the CIO said, referring to a vulnerability in the Apache Struts web application framework that, according to a press release Equifax issued Friday, hackers exploited to break into the company's servers and compromise 143 million customer records. Equifax uses the Adobe framework in its U.S. online dispute portal.
Another banker, Jim Hanlon, the chief technology officer at Dedham Savings Bank in Boston, was astounded that Equifax did not catch its breach more quickly.
"We have 60,000 customers," he said. "If somebody came into our network and was looking at 100 files, that would raise a flag with us. If somebody's accessing millions of records, how is something not alerting them to that fact? That's the concerning piece to me. The documentation said they take network security seriously. But there should have been a red flag somewhere."
Equifax's security team detected and blocked suspicious network traffic associated with its U.S. online dispute portal web application on July 29. But the company's investigation found that hackers had access to certain files containing personal information from May 13 through July 30.
For banks, the Equifax breach has provided a painful lesson in damage control.
"Our customers have been calling us, asking about the Equifax hack," Hanlon said. "It's something that's at the forefront of our thought process right now."
Credit freezes
Immediately after the Equifax breach, Central National Bank in Enid, Okla., sent a letter to customers letting them know their personal data may have been compromised in the breach.
"Communication is key," said Mark Sumby, the bank's senior vice president.
The bank also recommended that affected customers ask for a credit freeze across all three credit bureaus.
"Because now [the criminals] have all that data on you," he said.
Equifax has agreed to waive fees for removing and placing security freezes through Nov. 21.
Stepping up security
Security upgrades are, of course, inevitable.
"The obvious answer to all of this is, encrypt the freaking data," Steve Ely, CEO of the alternative credit data provider eCredable, said in a session at the PayThink conference on Monday. "Then we're not having this conversation."
Banks "do a pretty darn good job at fraud prevention" already, he said, but the Equifax breach might speed up impending security projects.
"Where a bank might have said no, we'll put off that project till next year, now they might go, let's go ahead and do that project now," Ely said. "Their directors are going to say to them, what are you doing about security? This illuminated to so many people how big this is, so now it's on their radar, they're thinking, we don't want this to happen to us, too. Let's make sure we invest more quickly."
Michael Failor, head of portfolio analytics at the online lender Enova, suggested half-jokingly that now might be a good time to invest in security companies.
"Because Equifax is in this area of collecting consumer data and holding on to it, they have had a big target on their head," he said. "But [industrywide] it's happened six or seven times, and it could happen to any large company that collects a lot of data." A recent IBM report found that more than 200 million financial services records were breached in 2016, a 937% increase from 2015.
Dedham's Hanlon said that banks, like everyone else, have to assume they are going to be breached through some type of malware or hacking technique and act accordingly.
"You're going to have somebody that gains access to your network," Hanlon said. "So how do I limit the damage that could potentially be done?"
Most financial institutions over the years have done a good job of building fences at the perimeter and investing a lot of money in security tools like intrusion detection and intrusion prevention systems and firewalls, he said, but they haven't done enough to monitor what happens when someone breaks in.
Dedham uses software from Veronis that identifies where customer data and other critical information is stored and monitors all access to that data.
"Being a financial institution, we know we've got everybody's life story, especially if you apply for a mortgage: You have tax returns in there, you have credit reports, you've got soup to nuts," Hanlon said. "So how do we protect those files, or make sure that whoever is accessing those files are only the people that should access the file?"
The Veronis reports on who has accessed sensitive files and when, and it sends alerts about any unusual behavior.
Dedham has put a special watch on the accounts of customers who say they are victims of the Equifax breach. For some, it's issuing new debit cards or creating new accounts.
"Depending on the level of anxiety with the customer, there are different scripts we follow to not only ease the consumer's mind but monitor that activity," Hanlon said.
The Veronis software provides alerts if someone tries to view a large number of files, or zips or encrypts files. Only the information technology department is supposed to be encrypting files at the bank.
"When user behavior is nontypical, we get alerts," Hanlon said. There are also alerts whenever files or directories containing sensitive data are accessed.
Security training is also important, Hanlon said.
"We do social engineering on a regular basis where we hire firms to come in and try to game customer information. That's an important part of this, and it gives employees an awareness of what people will try to do," he said. "It's a joint effort that includes having a knowledgeable workforce, keeping up the training, as well as putting in best-of-breed tools to assist with the process."
Bankers are hopeful Equifax uses the negative experience to make itself a security leader, sparing no expense on third-party security reviews and internal reforms.
"Here's what's ironic," Ely said. "This is such a wake-up call for Equifax, that a year from now, if you're a big bank, you won't want to do business with anybody else. They'll have the best security on the planet."

The feeling is mutual -- she's thrilled with the idea of a summer fling -- but, when she goes home, Sally assumes her tryst with Tanino is a thing of the past. Tanino disagrees, and he tails her back to the United States. For Tanino, his reunion with Sally is just the first chapter in what turns out to be an eventful international excursion.

Quobis is taking part of Sat2Car project with the objective of implementing a system for connected vehicle services via satellite communications.
Quobis is contributing to the design and implementation of a set of multimedia services based on WebRTC and our solution Sippo wac. It will allow real time communications integrated in the board screen of the car and it will provide assistance and videoconference services to users from a professional assistance service.
The main functionalities will be audio/video conference to an agent that can provide customer service or assurance services among others. This application will also provide data from the car to the agent like GPS location, speed, etc. In case of a crash, the videoconference will be established automatically. Besides, an infotainment and travel entertainment service will be implemented in the customer application to allow the access to video content both for entertainment and support services.
Sat2Car project is being coordinated by Egatel with Quobis, Altia, Peugeot Citroen Automóviles España and Hispasat as partners. It started in 2016 and now its final phase begins with the integration tasks to get the results at the end of 2018.
Some weeks ago the intermediate review meeting was held in Las Palmas (Spain) with very interesting results and some individual use cases available. For the final review, a car with the satellite communication system integrated will be available for demonstrations.

We've noted that the reports that the Cowboys have created a special list of off-field rules for receiver Dez Bryant could constitute a violation of the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement with the players. So it's not surprising that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is saying that his team hasn't actually created special rules for Bryant at all.
Asked in a radio interview today if the team had created special rules for Bryant, Jones answered, "no."
"I'm not so sure where the media has come up with detail of this nature," Jones said on KRLD-FM via the Star-Telegram.
So where did the story come from that Bryant has been told to avoid strip clubs and alcohol, get home by midnight and seek counseling? Jones says it's just that the Cowboys have urged Bryant to "conform to good behavior, the kind of behavior that the commissioner expects, that society expects and that anybody expects if you're going to get the opportunities you are."
Whether Jones is just urging Bryant to do those things, or has created special rules insisting that Bryant do those things, may just be a matter of semantics. What is clear is that if Bryant's NFL career is going to be a success, he has rules he needs to follow.
"I think it's pretty clear," Jones said. "We've got behavior rules in the NFL that have been made very clear by the commissioner's office. And I think it's real clear that if you don't abide by the rules of society what happens."
According to Jones, as long as Bryant abides by the same rules that everyone else abides by, the Cowboys will say he's doing just fine.

About Me
- Ganeida
- Quaker by conviction, mother by default, Celticst through love, Christ follower because I once was lost but now am found...
Saturday, August 18, 2012
A neighbour found this beautiful tortie in her yard but thinking it a mangy old thing left it there, untended, seriously dehydrated, starved, desperate for a little affection, to die. To Dearest's fury I brought it home, eye~dropped water into it throughout the day, sat it on a hot water bottle well wrapped in blankets & gave it a little loving attention as I passed, & looked for a no kill shelter that might be able to help out.
Sadly she didn't make it but every time I came by she lifted her head a little, looking for the tickle between the ears, rolling her head so I could chuck her under the chin, trying desperately to meow & purr from sheer gratitude. She was obviously a beautiful natured cat with a very loving generous nature & such a sad waste.
I know we have too many feral cats ~ but not the cats' fault. It is human's thinking only of their windy self~importance, taking no heed for the world they live in that are at fault. I am so angry that any animal should have ended up in such a state, so desperate for just a little love. Thank you, my beautiful Star, for your loving & generous help. May your Star always shine bright!

That is terrible Ganeida! Good on Star!
On the other hand, a friend of dh's spent $900 the other day on his budgie (I could not believe my ears) I told dh that could feed a poor nation! (Just adding to your dd's comment above) :)

Rosemary:yes, people first, but this was so in my face it could not, in good conscience, be ignored.
There are many worthwhile organisations these days seeking to alleviate human suffering ~ & it needs the big organisations just to negotiate the red tape. Lid knows perfectly well we've worked with Australia's homeless youth. We are no longer called to this particular ministry ~ nor to major cat rescues lol. Individual cases though...

That's awful, simply awful! I can't watch an animal suffer, just can't and I'd have done as you trying to nurse it back to health! You are right it's not the cats fault, it's the humans who for some reason think a cat is not meant to be a house pet, but rather a "pet" they feed on the porch and let it fend for itself the rest of the time. We have many a stray out here too, and sadly I can't save them all...but I did recently rescue a beautiful blue kitten (he adopted me really) who would have otherwise become feral or worse. He's not living comfortably on my furniture :)

Last week at Rainbows I had a break from planning, because my unit helper and leader in training (who are mother and daughter, and Muslim) kindly agreed to run a meeting on Muslim festivals.
All I had to do was turn up with a jam jar for everyone, and sharpies to decorate them. I was pleased that I had just the right number of jars in my hoard. Or rather, I did once I'd finished some jam and chocolate spread – it's a tough job but someone's got to do it. I discovered the power of WD40 for getting stubborn sticky label glue off jars, and now I have a bit more space in my cupboard of containers.
My unit helper came in a beautiful salwar kameez. She started with some show and tell, passing round photos of her wedding, a Koran, and a bowl of tasty nutty rice pudding-like food for everyone to try. Lots of Rainbows had a taste, but only one liked it! I thought it was great, I'd have happily finished it! I'll have to ask how to make it.
Then we decorated our jars with sharpies to turn them into coloured lanterns. We didn't try lighting them there, but the Rainbows put a tea light inside their jars to take home. (And yes, I removed all trace of WD40 from the jars – perhaps next time I'll try cleaning them with something less flammable!)
After that we played a quick game and did an activity from Rainbow Roundabout Festivals based on the Night of Forgiveness, where we chatted about what it means to say sorry and forgive someone, and we said kind things about each other. Another quick game, and it was time to finish.
It was nice having having breathing space to do a little admin and badge stuff in the meeting, and have fun with the Rainbows helping them to follow the instructions. They probably enjoyed listening to someone different too!

Sometimes it feels like Seth Godin is in my back pocket because he writes about things a lot that are top of mind for me. His recent post on "Who would you meet if you could?" drives home my point about the effectiveness of groups and social networking. He writes: "
Think about this for a moment. If a trusted friend could arrange a meeting between
you and anyone of your choosing, who would you choose? Not for entertainment or curiosity or bragging rights, but to help your business.
Who could help? Someone who could actually aid your marketing or development...
Years ago, I went to the AOL partner's conference. I'm no runner (unless someone is
chasing me) yet I signed up for the early morning run because I knew Steve Case, CEO
of AOL, would be running. I ran with him for twenty minutes, almost killed myself.
Didn't help. (But I'm glad I met him).
If you're an author, can Jeff Bezos at Amazon help you more than a motivated
promotions manager far down the ladder? It's unlikely.
[People in charge can rarely help you, because they
are rarely (truly) in charge.]
Billionaires can't help you, either, because they have their defense force fields on
full strength during meetings like this. In fact, the person who can help you the
most is almost always someone who doesn't appear that powerful on the surface.
[Remember, it's not just that they can help you.
It's that they want to help you. Famous people qualify
in neither category.]So, who is it? Hint, it's not the Wizard of Oz or the Pope or Barack Obama. It's
someone not famous, someone who actually makes things happen and someone who
actually cares. Think hard... Got it?
Great. Go meet them."

Take a minute and ask yourself how much money you've spent in the past six months on beauty products. How many lipsticks and mascaras are in a bag, how many pretty sparkly eye-shadows you don't wear nearly as much as you'd like, the nail polishes and perfume bottles cluttering your dresser. A little here, a little there, but it all adds up. You're addicted.
But there's a job title for that! And I am going to share a secret with you: become friends with someone in the beauty department at a magazine.
Why? Because most magazines are sent an influx of brand new products twice each day that are opened, glanced at, and put onto a shelf in a closet until there is no more room. It's actually a highly selective process for what makes the cut. And the rest? Twice a year, interns like me purge the closet to prepare for fall and winter products that you'll read about and be dying to try. But until then, there are brand new, unopened goodies up for grabs.
This past week at O, we managed to sell the entire beauty closet in a 3-hour sale open to all Hearst employees. Imagine Black Friday in a conference room….it was that intense. But it was bittersweet too. All of the money that we made from the sale is being donated to Oprah's Leadership Academy girls. The products that help you feel more beautiful go to a beautiful cause.
It was a lot of hard work, boxing everything up, sorting, separating, cleaning, and replenishing the bins. But I also got first dibs on everything that I wanted. Now I just need to convince my parents that shipping all my new goodies back won't cost nearly as much as what I would spend buying all of that at retail cost….wish me luck.

Biggest flower in the world blooms (again) at Kew Gardens
This is the closest I got to seeing one of Kew's Titan Arums (Amorphophallus titanum) in full bloom. They get on average two or three flowering a year, making it almost as predictable as rain (although to be fair, yesterday was a sunny, if crisp, day).
I'm passing through London briefly and I took the opportunity to check out one of my favourite plants. There were a couple of people wandering by when I saw it, but no queues and no headlines (apart from the very nice Twitter updates - @kewgardens - and website feeds).
In Sydney we've had three public showings of the Titan Arum flower and it hasn't yet shown any signs of losing it's star appeal. While that day may come, I still get a thrill out of every bloom.
I have to say here that Kew's is definitely bigger than ours. As the t-shirt we printed the first time the Titan Arum was in flower, in 2004, says 'Size really does matter'.
Out biggest flowers have been about 1 m tall, while the biggest ever recorded was 2.9 m.
The Titan Arum only occurs naturally in Sumatera, in Indonesia. It consists of a giant tuber weighing up to 100 kg, a giant (divided) leaf up to 6 metres tall which lives about a year and then dies back to the tuber, and then every now and then, a massive flower that looks like a deformed banana in a pleated, deep red skirt.
Here is a picture of an impressive leaf in a pot, just behind the almost flowering Titan Arum in the Princess of Wales Conservatory:
Just in case you are searching the web for the biggest flower, another contender is Rafflesia, also from Indonesia but more widespread through tropical Asia. I posted a little about this plant recently. The species with the biggest flower, Rafflesia arnoldii, has flowers up to 1 metres across and weighing 10 kg.
The Rafflesia flower is more like your typical flower, albeit with great big fleshy red petals. Otherwise it is far from typical – it has no roots and no leaves, just some fine threads that penetrate into the tissue of a rainforest vine.
So why is there some dispute about the biggest? Well the Titan Arum bloom can be viewed as a collection of tiny 'flowers', so some botanists call it an 'inflorescence' – like the flower head of a banksia. Others consider the 'flowers' so reduced in size and complexity, and the whole structure so much like a single bloom, they classify it as a single flower. For plant scientists it is an interesting discussion about the origins and functions of flowers, for most people though it is semantics.
However you define it, big flowers often produce big smells. Both the Rafflesia and the Amorphophallus smell like rotten meat. This and their flesh-like colouring attracts flies to pollinate these giant blooms. It also explains one of the common names applied to both – the Corpse Flower.
During my visit yesterday there were not traces of foul odour so I expect it may be a day or two before the bloom opens fully. But I've been wrong before...

Following the success of her debut album 'Heads Up', it's now time to make way for the follow up LADY WONDER. A beautifully crafted and insightful second album by ANNIQUE, deliberately dazzling like a melodic kaleidoscope, with hypnotic songs rippling with musical exploration, expertly drawn into focus with by a sharp lyrical prism of observations on Life's journeys and effervescence.
Combining Chopin-esque waltz' with '60s pop and cinematic, nostalgic landscapes - ANNIQUE reveals once again in an eclectic range of instruments and sounds from ukulele and accordion, to the reception desk bell.
From the natural energy of the opening track, 'Push It Away', to the honest humour that burns in 'Hector Salamanca', each song on LADY WONDER serves as a paragon to ANNIQUE's creativity and intensity.

"Lovely Voice"
UK singer and songwriter, ANNIQUE embodies a style borne from a synthesis of jazz, pop and soul influences. It was with the partnership with acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist Koby Israelite, that ANNIQUE found a channel to explore her unique musical expression and inventiveness.
The 2015 release of ANNIQUE's debut album 'Heads Up', under Berlin based label Asphalt Tango, garnered critical acclaim and led to a host of vocal collaborations with European artists such as renown brass band Fanfare Ciocarlia, but also a number 1 in the Juno download charts with Mahala Rai Banda.
Having previously provided backing vocals to multi award winning acts such as Trevor Horn, The Gorillaz, and The Streets, ANNIQUE's performances at prestigious London venues such as KOKO and Ronnie Scott's led her to take to the road performing across the UK, Europe, and Israel.
'Lady Wonder', ANNIQUE's hotly awaited follow up album is launched in October 2018 and released through ANNIQUE's own label RT Records.
ANNIQUE proves herself a sharp eyed lyricist with a tender, seductive voice, igniting a raft of deep-toned torch songs from modern-day London with her mix of soulfulness, eclectic jazz and world influences, and the cinematic soundscapes of collaborator Koby Israelite."

What The Terminator Was Really Sent For
NOTE: Video is after the jump dammit.
I always thought the whole John Connor bit was a bunch of bullshit. And you know what? I was right for once in my Godforsaken life. This is the video evidence proving what Terminators are REALLY sent back for. Which SPOILER ALERT: isn't to have sex with tanks and airplanes. I know, that was my first guess too. And not just because I personally want to travel back in time to have sex with old technology (read: dinos), but you know I 250% do and deserve it.
Hit it for the tell-all video.
Thanks to PhilRules, keith, Grammar Hammer, Kara and callulus, who all thought the Terminators were sent here to destroy the future. Destroy the future? WTF does that even mean?!

4. iftop
a good console bandwidth visualization tool that shows you active
connections, where they are going to/from and how much of your precious bandwidth
they are using.
iftop is a command-line system monitor tool that produces a frequently-updated list of network connections. By default, the connections are ordered by bandwidth usage, with only the "top" bandwidth consumers shown.

BASH Shell: For Loop File Names With Spaces
BASH for loop works nicely under UNIX / Linux / Windows and OS X while working on set of files. However, if you try to process a for loop on file name with spaces in them you are going to have some problem. for loop uses $IFS variable to determine what the field separators are. By default $IFS is set to the space character. There are multiple solutions to this problem.
Set $IFS variable
Try it as follows:
#!/bin/bash SAVEIFS=$IFS IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") for f in * do echo "$f" done IFS=$SAVEIFS
#!/bin/bash SAVEIFS=$IFS IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") # set me FILES=/data/* for f in $FILES do echo "$f" done # restore $IFS IFS=$SAVEIFS
More examples using $IFS and while loop
Now you know that if the field delimiters are not whitespace, you can set IFS. For example, while loop can be used to get all fields from /etc/passwd file:
.... while IFS=: read userName passWord userID groupID geCos homeDir userShell do echo "$userName -> $homeDir" done < /etc/passwd
Using old good find command to process file names
To process the output of find with a command, try as follows:
find . -print0 | while read -d $'' file do echo -v "$file" done
Try to copy files to /tmp with spaces in a filename using find command and shell pipes:
find . -print0 | while read -d $'' file; do cp -v "$file" /tmp; done
Processing filenames using an array
Sometimes you need read a file into an array as one array element per line. Following script will read file names into an array and you can process each file using for loop. This is useful for complex tasks:
#!/bin/bash DIR="$1" # failsafe - fall back to current directory [ "$DIR" == "" ] && DIR="." # save and change IFS OLDIFS=$IFS IFS=$'\n' # read all file name into an array fileArray=($(find $DIR -type f)) # restore it IFS=$OLDIFS # get length of an array tLen=${#fileArray[@]} # use for loop read all filenames for (( i=0; i<${tLen}; i++ )); do echo "${fileArray[$i]}" done
Playing mp3s with spaces in file names
Place following code in your ~/.bashrc file:
mp3(){ local o=$IFS IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") /usr/bin/beep-media-player "$(cat $@)" & IFS=o }
Keep list of all mp3s in a text file such as follows (~/eng.mp3.txt):
/nas/english/Adriano Celentano - Susanna.mp3 /nas/english/Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow.mp3 /nas/english/Roberta Flack - Kiling Me Softly With This Song.mp3 /nas/english/The Beatles - Girl.mp3 /nas/english/John Lennon - Stand By Me.mp3 /nas/english/The Seatbelts, Cowboy Bebop - 01-Tank.mp3
To play just type:
$ mp3 eng.mp3.txt
Another example about IFS:
set $(cat my.file)
# Now the lines are stored in $1, $2, $3, …
echo $1
echo $2
echo $3
echo $4

Useful linux commands: null,zero,full,lsof
Linux / Unix Command: null
Data written on a null or zero special file is discarded.
Reads from the null special file always return end of file, whereas reads from zero always return characters.
null and zero are typically created by:
- mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
mknod -m 666 /dev/zero c 1 5
chown root:mem /dev/null /dev/zero
- chmod 666 /dev/null /dev/zero
File /dev/full has major device number 1 and minor device number 7.
Writes to the /dev/full device will fail with an ENOSPC error. This
can be used to test how a program handles disk-full errors.
Reads from the /dev/full device will return characters.
Seeks on /dev/full will always succeed.
If your system does not have /dev/full created already, it can be cre-
ated with the following commands:
mknod -m 666 /dev/full c 1 7
chown root:root /dev/full
man full
lsof is a command meaning "list open files", which is used in many Unix-like systems to report a list of all open files and the processes that opened them. This open source utility was developed and supported by Vic Abell, the retired Associate Director of the Purdue University Computing Center. It works in and supports several UNIX flavors.[2]
Open files in the system include disk files, pipes, network sockets and devices opened by all processes. One use for this command is when a disk cannot be unmounted because (unspecified) files are in use. The listing of open files can be consulted (suitably filtered if necessary) to identify the process that is using the files.
# lsof /var COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME syslogd 350 root 5w VREG 222,5 0 440818 /var/adm/messages syslogd 350 root 6w VREG 222,5 339098 6248 /var/log/syslog cron 353 root cwd VDIR 222,5 512 254550 /var -- atjobs
To view the Port associated with a daemon :
# lsof -i -n -P | grep sendmail sendmail 31649 root 4u IPv4 521738 TCP *:25 (LISTEN)
From the above we can see that "sendmail" is listening on its standard port of "25".
- -i Lists IP sockets.
- -n Do not resolve hostnames (no DNS).
- -P Do not resolve port names (list port number instead of its name).

Here's how Rolling Stone's music critic, David Fricke, reviewed Ten on December 12, 1991:
"On Ten, Pearl Jam — descended from the late, lamented Mother Love Bone — hurtles into the mystic at warp speed. Singer-lyricist Eddie Vedder sometimes lets his words get way ahead of his good intentions: 'I don't question/Our existence/I just question/Our modern needs' ('Garden'). Focus instead on his voice — a ragged, enraged mongrel blend of Robert Plant and James Hetfield — and the Pearls' surprising, and refreshing, melodic restraint. They wring a lot of drama out of a few declarative power chords swimming in echo."

we soft-launched bitcoin donations earlier this month (our 'main' launch will occur after we get 501(c)(3) status) – after coindesk ran an article about us accepting bitcoins. So far we've gotten a little over 3 BTC, which is almost a third of the way towards our goal of making a compound and calling it satoshimycin!
I have some things to say about the economics of bitcoin and why bitcoin donors are generous, will be collecting my thoughts on the matter soon.

: Icebergs' terrace offers outdoor dining overlooking the southern end of iconic Bondi Beach, with the rock pool and ocean stretched out beyond. Those who can tear their eyes away from the panorama will notice that the restaurant's interior has been kept intentionally simple, the ultra-sleek décor with modern and minimalist lines is tinted blue, green and cream to match the waves and sand. Food is just as beguiling as the design, reflected in chef Monty Koludrovic's regional Italian menu. Look for oysters served with cold pressed organic lemon dressing; antipasti of local burrata; Blackmore bresaola; and a main of Kurobuta pork belly, cheek and crackling paired with radicchio jam, beetroot and endive. Expect to see whichever whole fish is freshest and best that day at the market on the menu. Then there's assaggini, seasonal cured meats paired with pickles and grissini. Vegetarians have their own menu. Finally, crostoli, granita, cannoli, gelati and other authentic Italian desserts, accompanied by their own wine list, bring a meal to its most appropriate conclusion. That's unless you choose to stay on and order another bottle from the list of local and international wines and Champagnes.
Enjoy a meal al fresco at these restaurants with patios.
