“The new peak body will represent the Indigenous housing sector’s interests, providing advocacy and connection to the government.
According to Minister Enoch, the Palaszczuk government remained dedicated to working towards a future wherein a treaty or treaties for the state of Queensland could be arranged.
“And this involves elevating the voices of First Nations peoples,” she said.
In 2018, Australia’s Federal Government opted not to renew an established, 50-year-old national partnership regarding remote indigenous housing. In response to this decision, the Palaszczuk government announced a $40 Million remote interim capital program.
“The Federal Government has vacated this space,” Minister Enoch said.
According to the new peak body would represent the housing concerns of Queensland’s First Nations people. It would also serve as a means of accessing advocacy and a direct connection to Queensland’s government.
“This new organisation will work with the sector to deliver a program of work includorganisational capacity,” he said.

Ambition Is Vital For Our Success
- AMBITION Ambition is drive based on a strong desire to reach a particular goal Spiritual Laws of Money and to possess things of our choice. All persons in this Earth are not ambitious. It is only between 3 to 13% of the people who aactually ambitious in life. While many people are not ambitious they just want three things in life and that is food, sleep and clothing. They are happy with the three. While many people are not educated and do not know how to plan their ambitions. Whereas you will find people who are uneducated but have a great ambition to success. You will find the same category of people in the educated class who know pretty well about ambition and yet they are not ambitious. It is necessary that all of us have an ambition in life but one must not be over ambitious. It is also your ability to convert your dreams into reality. Contrary to a popular belief this special drive is a quality based or activated only by comparatively a few persons. Mildly expressed aims, intentions or wants and the single minded purpose, all that we call ambition. Have an ambition and the most important aspect is to work towards it. You will succeed.

From George Washington to Robert Dinwiddie, 4 December 1756
[Fort Loudoun, 4 December 1756]
To The Honble Robert Dinwiddie, Esquire, Governor of Virginia.
Since writing to your Honor yesterday,1. By virtue of your Honors Commission to recruit for the Royal american Regiments; and under the specious pretence of immunity, offered in a late proclamation: He boasts the power & authority of enlisting Deserters and Delinquents of any kind whatever. With these pretences &c. his ungenerous principles, he scandalously & underhandedly seduced these, and I am afraid many more to abandon their duty and desert the Service. The Behaviour of Mr McCarty while in our Regiment was not so becoming and genteel as it ought: and had he not apprehended the danger of a Court martial with disgrace he would not have resigned to your Honor with so much privacy.2 I hope this flagrant instance of his unnatural, unjust and dishonorable proceedings, will prompt your Honor to punish such pernicious practises so destructive in their consequences, and so fatal in their effects. I have dispatched a party of 25 men under Capt. Mercer, with orders that every endeavour and all possible diligence be made use of to apprehend those Deserters, who I imagine are gone to McCarty. and should be glad your Honor wou’d direct what punishment shou’d be inflicted; as the act for that purpose is sometime ago expired.3 The loss of the Drafts and those desertions, render us unable to manage such heavy timber as is required about the Fort; or even sufficient to do other necessary work there. These misfortunes, and the want of Flour with the Commissary, conspire to retard my march longer than I had expected. I am Honble Sir, Yours &c.

The enclosures have not been found, but for further details of this particular Denis McCarty affair, see especially GW to Dinwiddie, and Dinwiddie to GW, both 10 Dec. 1756, and William Fairfax to GW, 22 Jan. 1757. In a letter to McCarty of 23 Dec. 1756 Dinwiddie indicated that he had “5 Affidavits” relating to McCarty’s conduct (ViHi: Dinwiddie Papers). For a fuller description of McCarty’s brief but troubled military career, see John Carlyle to GW, 17 Oct. 1755, n.3.
3. The act passed in October 1755 providing for the punishment of deserters 59–64) was to remain in force for one year only.


That's how I felt, at least, until I remembered the real reason for Wall Street's continued popularity — and I'm not talking about the American public's awakening to the nightmarish realities of post-industrial capitalism. No, a lot of people dig Wall Street because they actually identify with the monstrous character of Gordon Gekko, played so brilliantly by Michael Douglas. When he proclaims that "Greed…is good," they clap along enthusiastically. Even Douglas himself, who's agreed to reprise the role in the sequel, has just complained to the New York Times about "drunken Wall Street broker[s]" who "come up to me and say, 'You're the man!
Then again, who am I kidding?I'll probably go see this movie anyway,if only for a chance at catching an incandescent performance of thekind that Douglas hasn't given in years.

© 2007 SYAS
The title of this character zone acknowledges the importance of the proposals published by the City Council Town Planning Committee at the end of World War II (Sheffield City Council 1945). These proposals, entitled Sheffield Replanned, ity Engineer’s department into reconstruction possibilities following the devastating air raids on the city in December 1940. The proposals were far reaching - the changes to the road network alone were outlined in a 50-year schedule (ibid, 73-74). The specifics of the resulting developments often differed from the initial proposals, however, the original document laid out many principles that formed dominant themes in the development of the city centre until the present day. The proposed land-use zoning laid out a basic land-use pattern for the city centre that would continue until the early twenty first century. The present dual carriageway inner ring road and an inner civic circle (only partly built) were both proposed. The civic circle idea was to be revisited in the later 1960s, with the construction of a complete loop comprising Eyre Street, Furnival Gate, Charter Row and Furnival Gate. The segregation of pedestrians and traffic, which would became so characteristic of this zone, was envisioned - with barriers along central reservations working in concert with road crossings provided at approved points and in “subway crossings (perhaps improved by the installation of escalators) at the more important traffic roundabouts...” (ibid, 46).

Figure 5: Sheffield University’s Arts Tower

The University of Sheffield was originally established around the former Technical School on Mappin Street, but soon expanded westwards - afteFirth Court at Western Bank in 1902-1909. Significant expansion of these early buildings occurred in the same period as development of the rest of this zone. The Western Bank site is now dominated by the Library and 21 storey Arts Tower (1955-1965), designed as complementary linked buildings. The rest of the University buildings are united by the ‘Concourse’, a pedestrian space designed to bring buildings together despite the presence of a main road bisecting the site. This division was complicated in the mid-late 1960s by the upgrading of the road to dual carriageways, as a main feeder into the Inner Ring Road – a challenge met by construction of a concrete flyover carrying the road overhead. Other buildings on the site are of a variety of twentieth century styles, often rising to 5 or more storeys.
The defining characteristic of this zone is the extent to which earlier urban environments have been re-written. This means that the different landscapes and street patterns that existed in this zone prior to replanning have left very few legible remains.
A significant feature of the replanning of the centre of Sheffield was the construction of Civic Circle and its associated roundabouts and underpasses – including the ‘Hole in the Road’, which lay at the head of the ‘Civic Circle’ character area and is discussed within the ‘Historic Core’ zone. Along Arundel Gate and Eyre Street the Civic Circle cut through an area historically divided into a grid of streets occupied by mixed light industry and housing, which had grown up around the historic core in the late 18th

Pfrequently develop eye symptoms that can lead to serious eye problems if not diagnosed and treated promptly. The combination of an overactive thyroid gland and related eye problems is also known medically as Graves Ophthalmopathy.
Although the exact cause of Graves Ophthalmopathy is not known, it is believed that the bodys immune system attacks the tissues located within the socket of the eye (orbit) such as the eye muscles, the lacrimal (tear) gland, and the protective cushion of fat surrounding the eyes. Furthermore, there is increased stimulation of the nerves that hold the lid open (lid retraction) giving rise to the common staring appearance of patients with hyperthyroidism.
Due to the bodys immune system attacking the tissues within the orbit, there is an inflammatory reaction that causes symptoms ranging from dryness of the eye, to marked discomfort, eye pain, double vision, and in severe cases, to loss of vision which can be permanent. The eyelid retraction, combined with the bulging forward of the eyes, leads to inability to close the eyes fully. The front surface of the eye (cornea) then becomes extremely dry, and can become ulcerated and infected, leading to loss of sight.
In more severe cases where there is marked swelling of the tissues in the socket of the eye, steroid medications (prednisone) are given my mouth to control the inflammation. Radiation treatment may also be given to decrease the swelling in the orbit.
The double vision and eyelid retraction are usually corrected with surgery, if they fail to resolve with improvement of the thyroid function. Shown in the photograph below is a patient before and after surgery for severe eyelid retraction.
In summar to see an ophthalmologist immediately should any of them occur. Techniques in modern day take care of the eye problems that arise as a result of hyperthyroidism.

©Steward Mudend globe. In Zambia, little is known about theudents. This study assessed the psychological impact of COVID-19 onZambia.
Methods: t21 to October 2021. Data were analysed using Stata 16.1.
Results: of the 452 students, 57.5% were female, with the majority aged between 19 and 24 years. Overall, 65% (95% CI: 60.5-69.4) experienced anxiety, while 86% (95% CI: 82.7-89.3) experienced depression. Participants whose income was affected were more likely to experience anxiety (aOR; 2.09, 95% CI: 1.29-3.37) and depression (aOR; 2.87, 95% CI: 1.53-5.38). Anxiety was associated with difficulty in observing the COVID-19 preventive measures (aOR; 1.84, 95% CI: 1.21-2.81). Being depressed was associated with having a chronic condition (aOR; 3.98, 95% CI: 1.67-9.50) or a relative or friend who died from COVID-19 (aOR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.06-3.70).
Conclusion: many students exthird wave of infections. This calls for mitigation measures because continued anxiety and depressionFortunately, most of the associated factors are modifiable and can easily be targeted when formulating interventions to reduce anxiety and depression among students.
December 2019 was mark globe has ever faced [1].,3]. The pandemic led to the physical closure [4-6]. The closure of colleges and universities was ordered to prevent the further transmission and spread of COVID-19 across the populations [4,7]. As a result, students were forced to rely on online learning using platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet [8,9]. However, many developing countries received online learning with mixed feelings, and its implementation came with different challenges [10].
The closure of colleges and universities, coupled with restrictions on movement and conducting the usual day-to-day activities, caused hallenges [4,11]. The COVID-19 outbreak around the world has impacted many lives [12]. The rapid surge of infected cases worldwide has produced a sense of dread and concern about what may happen next. It has also resulted in a great deal of stress  [13]. Students' learning and psychological health may suffer due to this stress [14]. Fear, worry, and despair have all increased due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The emotional responses triggered by the COVID-19 outbreak may greatly impact people with mental health issues [15]. Confinement  mood disorders [16]. In addition,s) has been reported [17].
In Zambia, there is little information on the psychological impact of COVID-19 among university students. However, a few studies have linked psychological challenges such as stress and anxiety to an inability to access learning materials and important information posted on Moodle [8,18,19]. Other students also reported stress, especially towards the final examinations because they had missed some lectures [8,18]. This shows that, indeed, students were experiencing psychological challenges, but these studies did not explore factors that would precipitate anxiety and depression. (UNZA).
Study design, setting and population: ts students (pharmacy, biomedical, physiotherapy, radiography, medicine, and nursing) at the University of Zambia, Ridgeway campus in Lusaka, Zambia between August 2021 and October 2021.

According to the HADs, normal participants have scores of 0-7, borderline abnormal or borderline cases have scores of 8-10, while abnormal cases (anxiety or depression) have scores of 11-21 [20].

Participants´ socio-demographic characteristics concerning anxiety and depression levels: four hundred and fifty-two (452) students participated in the study out of 600 that were invited, giving a response rate of 75.3%. The majority, 192 (64.6%), were between 19 and 24 years old, 260 (57.5%) were female, and 406 (89.8%) were not married. A total of 206 (45.7%) were enrolled in a bachelor of pharmacy degree and 181 (40.0%) in their 5th or more year of study. Three-quarters 321 (71.0%) of the participants were from the urban setup. Overall, more than three-in-five (65%, 95% CI: 60.5-69.4) screened positive for anxiety, while more than four-in-five (86%, 95% CI: 82.7-89.3) screened positive for depression during the third wave of COVID-19 infections. There were discrepancies between participants who reported anxiety, their willingness to practice preventive measures against COVID-19, and their ability to earn income during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consistent with the extant literature [23-26], wethird wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in Zambia. This can be explained by the change in the academic delivery of lectures from physical to virtual. Additionally, students may find it difficult to cope with the high cost of internet data bundles and the laptops or smartphones needed for virtual classes [19,27]. In an earlier study in Zambia, Mwila and colleagues found that most students could not attend online classes for several reasons, such as lack of electricity, internet data bundles, and access to computers [8]. Naturally, pandemics have been associated with psychological problems in some individuals [28]. T was first reported in China [29]. Therefore, the current study findings across the globe.
Risk factors for anxiety and depression among our participants included loss of income due to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the employment sector leading to salaries being cut frequently and many individuals losing employment, resulting in difficulties paying bills and loans and challenges with day-to-day expenses [30]. This study established that tthose who did not. These findings corroborate reports from a study conducted in Ireland by Hyland et al., where participants experienced generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) due to loss of income during the COVID-19 pandemic [24]. People who lost jobs or sources of income1,32]. In this case, many student income. Hence, having a guardian or parent who loses a source of income negatively affects a student.
The current study also found that participants who felt were more likely to be anxious than those who did not. Pamong our participants increased the risk of developing anxiety. One study indicated that respondents who were more bothered by not having enough surgical masks were more likely to have poor mental health [33]. As the pandemic spreads, several community members have indicated that wearing facemasks at all times, handwashing, maintaining social/physical distance, and receiving a COVID-19 vaccine was challenging to achieve. Regarding vaccinations, many individuals are sceptical about receiving a vaccine when made available to them [34]. The mixed feelings that people have about COVID-19 vaccines can predispose them to anxiety and depression.
A study conducted in Ethiopia revealed that even though the participants had broader knowledge of COVID-19, only 12.3% of the study participants adhered to the suggested COVID-19 preventive measures [35]. These findings are consistent with a study done by Apanga et al., where poor cwas seen [36]. They reported that only 18% wore a face mask, 31.7% practised hand washing/hand sanitising, and 22% practised social distancing. This shows low adherence to the COVID-19 preventive measures. Similar resultsdespite the government's mandatory restrictions, just nearly half of the respondents in the DRC followed COVID-19 preventive measures [37]. However, participants in a study conducted among the Belgian population were seen to have high[38]. Similarly, Junior et al., established that wearing face masks, handwashing regularly, and cough hygiene all had compliance rates of above 90%, whereas physical distancing and avoiding touching the face had 80-90% compliance rates [39]. Anxiety and depression have been reported in many people due to the implementquarantine or self-isolation [40]. The current study established that having a chronic conditionduring the COVID-19 pandemicestablished in another study that showed having chronic illnesses and generally worse health conditionhigher anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic [41]. The same was seen in a study in Turkey, where, an increase in anxiety in individuals with chronic diseases was identified during the pandemic [42]. Similarly, in Brazil, students who had a chronic conditionid not [43]disease severity and co-morbidities. These studies have indicated that people with co-morbidities are at an increased risk of having severe COVID-19 disease [44,45]. This knowledge might therefore have contributed to the anxiety experienced by students in this study, particularly due to fear of complications.
Our study found thatmong the participantsBrazil by Joaquim and colleagues, who reported intensified psychological stress in persons who lost a close relative with an attendant increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression, phobia, subjectivity, and hostility [46]. Another study described these symptoms as “Complicated Grief,” which describes the grief of those who lose close relatives as similar to grief following natural disasters or after intensive care treatment [47]. Individuals have suffered from anxiety and depression after losing loved ones due to COVID-19 [48]. The constant updating of death tolls may have contributed to the observed increased anxiety among students who have lost loved ones to death [49,50]. For such people, these are not only statistics but real-life experiences that have continued to predict anxiety related to COVID-19. Therefore, there is a need to identify students withand develop appropriate interventions such as counselling, and othstudents.

ITV reported that British Steel's workers have been told that production will continue as normal after funding was provided by lenders and shareholders. A British Steel spokeswoman said " "
Mr Alasdair McDiarmid, of the Community Union, said it was welcome news that British Steel owner Greybull has found sufficient funds to give the business a chance. But he insisted that the Government must help find a solution to secure the long term future of the business. He said  These are deeply unsettling times for our members and their families. Unite will continue to fight for the future of British Steel to ensure it continues to be a source of decent, well-paid jobs which sustains communities across the UK. We urge the Government and Greybull to agree a package which guarantees the long-term future of British Steel as quickly as possible to safeguard jobs and confidence in the company."
Meanwhile, the carbon price has now reached EUR 25 per tonne of CO2, which is considerable given the relative size of the steel sector's tight margins. Pared with supply volatility for iron ore in the wake of the Vale/Brumadinho dam disaster in Brazil, alongside high and volatile scrap and coking coal prices, the European steel industry is struggling on several fronts at once. Mr Eggert said "Any one of these factors would cause difficulties for the sector. In combination they are a perfect storm of negative dynamics entirely beyond the control of the steel industry itself."
EUROFER has written to EU policy makers making this point, in particular relating to making the EU steel safeguard more robust and effective, as well as continuing work on WTO reform and on international cooperation to remove the causes of subsidised global overcapacity. He concluded "Despite being well-intentioned, the current steel safeguard framework has not prevented surging imports. EU producer margins are on the floor, which undermines their ability to invest in skills, technology and low-carbon development. The alarm bells are already ringing and action is required today to prevent this flood washing the sector away."
White House said that US administration has cut special tariffs on steel imports from Turkey to 25%,8. The White House said "It it. May. The decision is effective May 17."

If you’re transport particularly large items or do plenty of giant B2B shipments, utilizing an LTL freight service becomes a necessity. In main cities, you’ll typically discover local supply and courier companies that may deliver more quickly to your prospects than the big carriers at very aggressive charges. For example, if you’re located in New York, offer a cheaper fee for the mid-Atlantic region and increase the rate as you radiate out from there.

Computational Linguistics: an interdisciplinary field concerned with the statistical or rule-based modeling of natural language from a computational perspective.
Dependency Parsing: (see also Syntactic/Semantic Parsing) a dependency parser analyzes the grammatical structure of a sentence, establishing relationships between “head” words and words which modify those heads.
Entity Normalization: the mapping of a named entity or type in the text to a unique identifier, possibly requiring disambiguation and contextual analysis.
Graph database: data often exists as relationships between different objects. While relational databases (RDBMS) store highly structured data, they do not store the relationships between the data. Unlike other databases, graph databases store relationships and connections as first-class entities, and excel at managing highly connected data and complex queries. [… continued]
Information Extraction (IE): the process of extracting structured information (e.g. events, binary relations, etc.) from text and data, so that it can be used for another purpose, such as an information retrieval system (e.g. a search engine). IE creates structured information from unstructured text. See also: Relation Extraction. [image source]
Information Retrieval (IR): employs highly scalable statistics-based techniques to index and search large volumes of text efficiently. Information retrieval is based on a query – you specify what information you need, and it is returned in human understandable form.
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD): the non-trivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful knowledge from data. KDD (“data mining”) is the process of discovering useful knowledge from a collection of data. This widely used data mining technique is a process that includes data preparation and selection, data cleansing, incorporating prior knowledge on data sets and interpreting accurate solutions from the observed results.
Named Entity: the difference between an entity and a named entity is essentially the same difference between nouns and proper nouns. An entity can be nominal – a common thing like a city – whereas a named entity is more like a proper noun, such as a name (Paris). In other words, a named entity is something that deserves to have a name. A human is an entity, but if we give human a name, this produces a named entity. Named entities may consist of more than one word.
Natural Language Processing (NLP): a field of computer science, artificial intelligence and computational linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, and, in particular, concerned with programming computers to fruitfully process large natural language corpora.
Neo4j: graph database management system. Neo4j is an ACID-compliant transactional database with native graph storage and processing. Neo4j is accessible using the Cypher Query Language. [… continued]
Ontology: a representation / specification of a conceptualization of a domain of knowledge, characterizing the classes and relations that exist in the domain. That is, an ontology is a description (like a formal specification of a program) of the concepts and relationships that can exist for an agent or a community of agents. Commonly, ontologies are represented as graph structure that represents a taxonomy.
Provenance: a reference to literature from which a statement or its supporting evidence were derived.
Relation Extraction (RE): a subproblem of IE that addresses the extraction of labeled relations between two named entities. Dependency parsing and phrase structure parsing may be combined for relation extraction. To minimize cascading errors, accurate sentence chunking (splitting) is required, prior to the dependency parsing step. See also: Information Extraction; Dependency Parsing.
Syntactic/Semantic Parsing: (see also: Dependency Parsing) processing of the sentence structure using statistics or grammar rules to produce an electronic representation that delivers logical components (for example, a ‘noun phrase’), their roles (for example, the ‘subject’) and dependencies.

Getty Ty Gibbs and Ryan Sieg had some incidents at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Stage 1 offeatured no shortage of wild moments, including a red flag delay for snow in the desert. However, contact between Ty Gibbs and Ryan Sieg, as well as attempted payback, sparked the most conversations.
The conflict between the two Xfinity Series drivers began early in the first stage when Gibbs made contact with the rear of Sieg’s No. 39 Ford Mustang, causing it to lose control and hit the outside wall. The two drivers had a discussion on pit road during the red flag delay, but they did not walk away in a particularly good place.
Once the race went green again, Sieg appeared to attempt to exact his revenge on the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. He moved up the track and made some contact with the No. 54, but he actually sent himself into a spin and damaged both the No. 02 and the No. 2 entries while Gibbs drove away unscathed.
Prior to the attempted contact, NASCAR black-flagged Sieg for failing to meet minimum speed. The officials called him back to pit road, but he first made the move up the track.
Play-by-play man Adam Alexander and analysts Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney weighed in after watching the replay. They specifically discussed how these incidents often affect other drivers.
When the red flag waved due to snow, the was an opportunity for the drivers to climb out of their cars, use the facilities, and discuss the first few laps of the race. Sieg and Gibbs, in particular, had a conversation about their previous contact.
The FOX Sports cameras showed the two speaking with animated gestures, but there was no audio available. However, Sieg provided some details to reporter Jamie Little and made it clear that he was not happy about the contact that damaged his stock car.
"𝙎𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙 … 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮?"
Gibbs also responded to the incident and acknowledged that he had “made a mistake.” However, he said he did not intentionally wreck Sieg and that the driver of the No. 39 could continue the feud if he wanted.
Per NASCAR rules, Sieg had to head to the infield care center for evaluation after his wreck. He was released, but he did not meet with FOX Sports reporters or any other media members.
According to PRN, NASCAR officials called Sieg’s team to the hauler after he exited the care center. There was no clear information available about the meeting, but the incident on the track that led to Sieg’s second spin likely served as a prominent point of discussion.
With Sieg meeting with NASCAR officials, there are now questions about this feud and whether it will continue during the trip to Phoenix Raceway on March 12. There will not be a clear answer until the drivers line up on the starting grid.
Tmultiple intense moments. One, in particular, resulted in Ryan Sieg sending himself into a spin.

Wednesday Night Football Updates to the 21st Century
According to Phil Gentry ’02’s fantastic Wesleyan’s Queer History 1975-2000, the first queer group emerged at Wesleyan in the early 1975 and placed this advertisement in the Argus:
Today, that first sentence takes most readers by surprise: “especially at Wesleyan”? Really? The group began meeting in March of 1975 and publicly declaring itself the Wesleyan Gay Group. According to Ariel Schwartz ’12, that same year saw the birth of Wednesday Night Football, a weekly, totally confidential meeting space for queer and questioning students to talk. Like the ad says: “Your anonymity will be guaranteed. It commits you to nothing.” (Not like they had listservs in 1975, anyway. [How did it all work??]) Today, Wednesday Night Football still meets every Wednesday night. It still entails no commitment, no public outing, and no football.

Course Description: C!W!


From the time the Nissan Magnite has been part of the CarWale garage, this blue-eyed boy has been on two round trips between Mumbai and Bangalore. And there have been way more Mumbai-Pune trips than I can even recall. Apart from the west-to-east and back expeditions, the Magnite has been a constant companion in every CarWale and BikeWale shoot thanks to its convenient automatic, practical boot for our photographers and videographers, and its never-say-never attitude. So the Magnite has barely gotten any rest from our diligent Editorial team.
We have already seen how it performs on daily commutes in the city; you can read about it over here. Now, in this report, we’ll tell you how the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol CVT has fared on the longer hauls.
I was sceptical about the performance of this tiny 999cc three-cylinder engine especially before undertaking a near 2,500km journey. Besides, it wasn’t just me in the car, but three more crew members and their luggage, and (as always) we were on a tight schedule. So this trip wasn’t going to be any easier on the car, as the Magnite would be pushed to its limits, and pushed a bit more. And guess what, this gutsy little Japanese SUV pulled through without a fuss. On the highway, it could keep triple-digit speeds without feeling out of breath. There was never a moment where I felt that it could do with more power. The strong meaty mid-range of the turbo-petrol helped me overtakes the slow-moving trucks with so much ease.
Even with four passengers on board, the Magnite paced through effortlessly, especially on the beautiful piece of tarmac between Tumkur and Davanagere with long stretches of mostly unoccupied and uninterrupted straights. It also felt planted at those speeds and never was I scared to push it further when passing those heavy vehicles.
On the return journey, we did this patch in the middle of the night, and the Magnite was a breeze while my passengers snored peacefully. That reminds me of the ride quality. It's supple and absorbs bad patches on the road surprisingly well. But over deep, sharp edged potholes the front suspension makes a loud noise right around the time when the damper decompresses. The noise is so intense that it seems like the suspension has been damaged but in reality it’s functioning just fine. Since we have heard this loud thud so many times in the last few months, we are now extra cautious when going over potholes and deep cuts on the roads.
And the boot at 336 litres might not seem a lot at first, but it managed to swallow a lot more luggage than I anticipated including some camera equipment over a week's luggage of four. Or maybe we are just thrifty packers.
Most of the niggles, with the Magnite on the trans-country journey, were trifling, but annoyance none the least. Firstly, the AC had a mind of its own. It sometimes gave up on us, especially in the middle of the day. And it would get back to working on its own. Same with the speakers, they go numb at times. We could feel the reduced volume from the music system only to find out one or two speakers aren’t thumping at all. Then, on their own, they would start playing again.
I had one strange issue with the driver’s seat. Oddly enough, the extended side bolstering of the seat base is where my right thigh was resting the entire 2,500km. That protruding cushioning didn’t prove to be very comfortable and I had to endlessly keep adjusting my seating posture over the entire journey.
We like the segment-first wireless Android Auto feature of the Magnite. But it wasn’t without a flaw either. It would refuse to connect at times when the ignition is turned off and on again. Lastly, the centre-placed lock, which needs to be manually unlocked every single time, is still a nuisance.
With 18,000km coming on the odometer, the Nissan Magnite is still going strong. Its merits outweigh its shortcomings, and we cannot help but admire the Magnite the more time we spend with it. It has been our team’s go-to car whenever a shoot is scheduled and there are more miles in store for this Magnite before we return the keys teary-eyed. Stay tuned for more updates on the Magnite's adventures in the CarWale garage.


The seventh week of this year's Great British Bake Off and we've all gone back in time to Victorian Week, apparently. Because everyone is just super excited to enter the tent and find all the power-boost ovens and pastel Kitchenaid mixers replaced by ovens with fire and an old wooden spoon. Okay, they didn't go quite that far, but there was an antique pie tin!
Fondant I had made once before, for a three tier Christmas cake last year that I hoped would look like something out of a magazine and unfortunately I didn't specify in my hopes that the magazine not be entitled 'Play-Doh Creations by Toddlers'. This time, the fondant was a huge success and smooth and even!Take that, Tiny Muggle Kitchen!
Then the decoration was royal icing, which I don't think I've made since I whipped up one of these amazing creations for the Johnson County Fair in the summer of 1989. MORE EGGS. Seriously, Mary Berry is keeping chickens in that bake off tent. (Or dare we think there is some sort of chicken animagus possibility?
I've sent the Quidditch cake off to the city today but made this tiny loaf with a bit of the mix so I could still try it and have a verdict. It works as gluten-free, though it needs a fork!It was strange to make an entire cake without vanilla extract in anything. And also…
Well done at getting this made, it looks perfect. I have always been amused by some of Mrs Beeton's recipes that start with 'first take one dozen eggs and a quart of cream'; clearly Mary was following her lead. The timings in the recipe are a bit of a cheat as the fruit ingredients are very conveniently listed as having been prepared already. I guess that is how she got the timings down so low!
It's amazing how far back those silicone sheets go ;) But wow!
I really enjoy your "play along" with the Bake Off. I'm watching in the US (my first time) and I think we must be behind, or maybe in a different season. This week's episode included trifle, meringues, and petit fours; no ovens with fire and wooden spoons. Sounds interesting so I hope we get to that one soon!
What an awesome looking cake. Love the quiddtch theme. Might have to make one of those but may have to resort to magic ha ha!Excellent read too thanks Shim!
I don't watch the Bake Off nor am I much of a baker but these posts of yours are hilariously entertaining!Also, I'm really impressed by all of your baking adventures, being the non-baker that I am. =) This cake is so cool!


‘The Martian’. There are two possible versions of the future. Version 1.1 – when food and oxygen run out in 212 sols (Martian days) Shri Watney will die. But that’s not the version he chooses to believe.
Mark Watney is an eternal optimist and a ‘take that! Neil Armstrong’ kind of guy.
He says to his webcam, “Maybe I will die, but I not without putting up a fight.”

Q: Check whetht?
A: Phone does not store any information about the uninstalled app. If ur app has a backend, then try saving UDID in the server when app is installed. So that u can check next time whether the app is once installed and uninstalled in a phone. But if ur app is a stand alone app with out any server, u cant do that.
If it is your own app you want to check whether was installed and later uninstalled you could code your app to leave a trace, either on a server (sending the phone ID to the server) or on the SD Card. Both methods requires permissions.
If it isntare out of luck, sorry.

LONDON (Sputnik) - UK-based investigative blogger group Bellingcat presented on Tuesday a report claiming that "trained military doctor" Alexander Mishkin, the alleged true identity of Skripal poisoning suspect Alexander Petrov, received the Hero of the Russian Federation Award in 2014.
The group, which has previously issued unfounded materials, presented the report in the UK parliament at the invitation of Bob Seely, a member of the UK House of Commons' international committee.
"'s family reported to us that they believe Russia's highest award was given for Mishkin's activities 'ei Victor] Yanukovich,'" the group claimed.
According to the group, Mishkin was born on July 13, 1979, in Russia's northwest region of Archangelsk and recruited to work for the security services while studying at a military medical academy. By 2010, he moved to Moscow with "an undercover identity, , under the alias Alexander Petrov," the group claimed.
Commenting on the allegations that Mishkin was the real name of Petrov, explain any of Bellingcat's claims in the absence of official information from London. The Russian Embassy to the United Kingdom echoed Peskov, saying that it would not comment on the data provided by Bellingcat.
In early September, UK prosecutors charged Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov with the attempted murder of the Skripals and UK police officer Nick Bailey in the UK city of Salisbury in March. UK Prime Minister Theresa May expressed a belief that the suspects workedGRU), albeit without providing any evidence.
In late September, Bellingcat claimed Such an assumption was explained by the fact that their internal passport under the names of Petrov and Boshirov were issued in 2009, while no records allegedly exist for these individuals prior to this year. Later that month, the group i.

Feb/March13 Industry News </s> TSA Chief to Step Down in June
The announcement comes is considering restructuring the entire department, including TSA.
TSA chief David Stone will leave the job in June, spokesman Mark Hatfield said Friday. No reason for the move was provided and no replacement was announced.
Mica has criticized the TSA for being a ''Soviet-style bureaucracy'' with too many airport screeners who don't perform well enough detecting explosives and dangerous items on passengers. He wants to see the agency transformed so that private companies take over airport screening and the TSA simply oversees the private companies.
''TSA did a great job in putting an army of 48,000 screeners together, but then when you stand back and look at the results, the performance is just not acceptable,'' Mica said.
''It may be with the current state of equipment, you just can't do it,'' Schneier said.
President Bush has proposed folding some of TSA's responsibilities into Homeland Security - most notably Secure Flight, a computerized program to screen for terrorists. Already, the federal air marshals have moved to another agency within Homeland Security.oo much has been expected of the TSA in too short a time. In a matter of months, the agency grew from a handful of people in Washington to tens of installed bomb-detection equipment in every airport.

FRIDAY, Aug. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Folks have been taught to slather on sunscreen, slip on a shirt and clap a hat on their heads to protect their skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
That's all good. But not adding a pair of good sunglasses to the ensemble still leaves people at risk, eye doctors say.
Long-term UV exposure can do cumulative eye damage over time, causing more insidious and dangerous threats to a person's vision, including:
Of course, such damage doesn't occur just in the summer, or even just when you're standing in sunshine. Bright reflected sunlight from sidewalks, aluminum, snow and other surfaces can cause UV damage just as easily as direct sunlight. In fact, one of the more well-known forms of photokeratitis is snow blindness, which occurs when skiers and climbers are exposed to high levels of UV radiation from light reflected off snow.
The sunglasses should be rated to absorb 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation. Read the labels. And keep in mind that how much you pay may not guarantee protection.
The gel used to treat McPherson was developed by a team led by David Becker, a professor of cell and developmental biology at University College London. The gel, named Nexagon, works by interrupting how cells communicate and prevents the production of a protein that blocks healing. That allows cells to move faster to the wound to begin healing it.
For McPherson, the experience of being treated with Nexagon was so positive she asked to be included in the gel's next trial, to treat an even larger ulcer that wasn't eligible for the first study.
Kaushal is now organizing a three-year, $2.1-million clinical trial of the approach to test it against a placebo. The trial will be funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the National Neurovision Research Institute. The clinical trials will be easier that they would be with an experimental compound because the safety of the drug has already been demonstrated.

What's Lurking in Those Supplements?
Do you really know what's in the dietary supplements you're taking? Consumer Reports tells what might be in those pills and powders in a new report. They focus on the less-than-desirable ingredients that could be lurking in the supplements people often take as part of their diet and exercise regimen or for sexual enhancement.
Consumer Reports worked with experts from the independent research group Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database to identify 12 ingredients in supplements that may have potential health risks, possibly leading to problems with cardiovascular, kidney or liver health. Those ingredients are: aconite, bitter orange, chaparral, colloidal silver, coltsfoot, comfrey, country mallow, germanium, greater celandine, kava, lobelia, and yohimbe. Some of the ingredients, according to the report, have had a previous FDA warning.
The Food and Drug Administration is taken to task by the report for what they say is the agency's lack of oversight in making sure supplements are safe. The report also argues that the FDA has not fully used its limited authority granted by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to ban supplement ingredients that may be dangerous.

Bawumia to lead NPP? | Feature Article 2013-018 → Article 261463	News
Columnist: Haruna, Mahama
2013-01-08Bawumia to lead NPP?
The formation of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was carefully nurtured by major actors who relied heavily on the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition. As soon as it was revealed by the Justice Annan Committee that the mood of the nation was in favour of multiparty politics in early 1992, Mr B J da Rocha and a few others found it wise to revive the United Party (UP). Those who were part of the Progress Party (PP), the Popular Front Party (PFP) and United National Convention (UNC) were targeted. A meeting was convened at the residence of the late Mr Steven Krakue, with the blessing of the late Mr Victor Owusu, the leader and Presidential candidate of the  But before this brief, the story of the formation of the UP, the pioneer party of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia tradition is really interesting. In December 1957, the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) that was aimed at ensuring that political parties were nationally based.
Consequently, the opposition parties merged into one party called the United Party (UP) under the joint leadership of K.A. Busia (NLM) and S.D. Dombo (NPP). With 15 seats from the Northern People's Party (NPP) and 12 from the National Liberation Movement (NLM) after the 1956 Legislative Assembly election, Chief S.D. Dombo could have been the Official Opposition leader of the UP tradition but passed it on to Dr Kofi Abrefa Busia and accepted to become his deputy. But this serious mistake was to have a serious effect on the parties of the UP tradition including the present NPP.
Since the days of the United Party (UP) in the 1950's the leadership of the Danquah-Dombo-Busia Tradition has never gone outside the Akan area of Ghana. Northerners and other minority ethnic groups like the Ewes and the Gas in NPP are told the Akans have permanently hijacked the leadership of the NPP and its predecessor parties. They are told the Akans are looking down upon them far as the leadership position is concerned. They say Northerners and these other groups are alienated against, classified as the minority and has always played second fiddle to Southerners. Northerners and other groups in NPP are told they are being manipulated, belittled, fooled and used by the Akans.
The situation in which Chief Dombo relinquished the party leadership to Busia, the inability of Alhaji Aliu Mahama to get the nod to lead the party in 2008 and the fact that leaders of the UP tradition, from Danquah to Busia to Victor Owusu /Ofori Atta to Adu Boahen to J A Kufour right up to Nana Akufo-Addo are all Akans is often cited as examples of such manipulations. Perhaps if Chief Dombo had been bold enough to take over the leadership if the party, these perceptions would not have arisen.
Even in the advance democracies ethnic, geographical, racial and other factors are taken into serious consideration when choosing leaders of political parties.
The Republicans in the US are doing a lot to shed off certain perceptions about them. In the United Kingdom there is a party known as the British National Party (BNP) whose membership is only opened to white British. The BNP is is fascist and racist's and restricted membership to "indigenous British". One may be right to say the NPP is fast becoming Ghana's replica of the BNP because the party is fast becoming a party for Asantes and Akyems especially if one looks at the last two general elections.

Soft tissue fillers are injectable, purified substances that can accentuate the lips or improve the appearance of wrinkles and laugh lines. They can be used to fill in the volume loss of the cheeks, around the eyes, mouth, jaw-line, brow and other areas, which occurs naturally with age. Fillers also can be used to elevate depressed scars, re-shape the bridge of the nose and address irregular facial contours and facial asymmetries. Use of fillers can achieve a smoother and significantly more youthful appearance.
Patients can undergo filler procedures without significant interruption to work or daily activities, with typical recovery periods of only 3-5 days. The list of available fillers is rapidly expanding, enabling dermatologists to tailor the filler material to the individual`s needs and desires.
What fillers are currently available to the consumer?
The wide range of fillers available on the market can be placed in two broad categories: temporary and permanent.
Hyaluronic acid fillers (e.g. Restylane, Juvederm): hyaluronic acid is a complex sugar molecule, a naturally occurring gel-like substance in the connective of the skin. Its moldable nature and tendency to expand in the presence of water make it an excellent filling substance for the skin. They work especially well in the lips, smile and frown lines and hollows of the eyes. Hyaluronic acid fillers last 4-12 months.
Collagen (e.g. Cosmoderm/Cosmoplast, Zyderm/Zyplast): collagen is a protein, another naturally occurring, component of the soft tissue. Some collagen products are derived from cows, while others are human-derived. This filler material is especially useful for filling fine lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead. It can be used in the lips and to contour the nose as well. Collagen fillers last 2-3 months.
Calcium hydroxyapatite-based fillers (e.g. Radiesse): this filler material is based on an inorganic material containing calcium, similar to bone. The product is moldable and composed of microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. Radiesse is useful for the nasolabial folds, to address lipoatrophy of the cheeks and to contour the nose. Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers last 7-12 months.
Poly-L Lactic Acid (Sculptra) is a biodegradable, biosynthetic polymer. In theory, the injected material stimulates the production of collagen. It is most commonly used to correct facial fat atrophy, especially the sunken appearance of the cheeks in HIV lipoatrophy. Results typically last 12-18 months. Typically 3 injection sessions are required to achieve the desired result.
Autologous fat: Donor fat is harvested with a small volume liposuction procedure from the thighs, buttocks or abdomen and transferred to target facial locations including the cheeks, lips, temples and hollows of the eyes. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desire results. Over several months to a year, approximately 2/3 of the fat is absorbed, while 1/3 of the fat engrafts and persists.
Artefill: A relatively new permanent filler comprised of synthetic beads called polymethylmethacrylate, purified collagen gel and lidocaine anesthetic. It is FDA-approved for use in the nasolabial (smile) lines.
Silicone: A purified chemical called polydimethylsiloxane known as Silikon 1000 has been approved by the FDA for use by eye doctors for certain eye diseases. Though silicone-based products have been used by dermatologists as permanent fillers for facial wrinkles, fat atrophy and scars, it has not yet been FDA-approved for these purposes.
The filler industry is rapidly expanding. There is sure to be many new products on the market in the coming months.
What are the risks of filler injections?
The use of soft tissue fillers is generally considered to be safe and effective when carried out by a knowledgeable, experienced practitioner. When you are electing to undergo any procedure, including the injection of filler, you must become familiar with the associated risks. The risk profile differs somewhat, based on which filler is selected and the injection site.
There may be some mild discomfort of the injected area for a day or so after filler injection. Bruising can be covered with make-up and usually resolves within 7-10 days. Swelling of the injected areas can occur for 2-4 days after injection. Swelling is more pronounced with the hyaluronic acid-based fillers, particularly in the lips.
The use of fillers for facial rejuvenation can greatly enhance an individual`s healthy and youthful appearance. Consult your dermatologist to help you determine which filler product would be most appropriate for you.
