James Dewitt Yancey "J Dilla"
Rapper and Producer - The Legend of Underground Hip-Hop
Timeline of J Dilla's Life
- 1974 - Born in Detroit, Michigan to Maureen Yancey, a famous Opera singer, and Beverely Yancey, a jazz bassist who performed at half-time shows for several years.
- 1992 - Met Amp Fiddler, a famous musician Detroit, who helped him master the Akai MPC.
- 1995 - Formed group 1st Down, the first Detroit hip-hop group to sign with a major label, with MC Phat Kat. Group disbanded soon after due to label trouble.
- 1996 - Formed group Slum Village and recorded Fantastic, Vol. 1 with RJ Rice Studios.
- 2000-2001 - Released Fantastic, Vol. 2. He also produced for musicians like Erykah Badu, Poe, Talib Kweli, and Common. One of his largest contributions, though not the least, led to the well known album Like Water for Cholocate.
- 2002 - Signed a solo deal with MCA Records and began working on a rap album. Though having a variety of producers on his album, such as Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek and more; the album was shelved due to changes at MCA.
- 2006 - Released final album Donuts. Days after, passed away in his home in Los Angeles, California following cardiac arrest.
"Trust me. I tell everybody it's better to do it yourself and let the indies come after you instead of going their way and getting a deal and you have to wait. It ain't fun. Take it from me. Right now, I'm on MCA, but it feels like I'm an unsigned artist still. It's cool.  I'm ready now, what's up?" -- J Dilla

Testing Prolog Programs
We explain several methods of declarative testing.
"Declarative" means that we reason about what is
being described by the program: We compare the actual
meaning of the program with the intended one, and the
actual properties with those that we know will hold
if the program is implemented correctly.
Example: Length of a list
Let us consider a simple Prolog program that contains a
mistake:
list_length([], 0).
list_length([_|Ls], N) :-
N #> 0,
N #= N0 + 2,
list_length(Ls, N0).
Our intention is to describe the relation between a list
and its length.
From a quick glance, the program at
first seems to work as intended in several ways. For example, the
query ?- list_length([], 0). succeeds as
intended, and we can use the program to generate answers:
?- list_length(Ls, _).
Ls = []
; Ls = [_A]
; Ls = [_A,_B]
; ... .
Nevertheless, the program is wrong!
Testing nontermination
Our first tests aim to ensure
desired termination
properties of the program. For example, in the case
of list_length/2, we know that the
program must not terminate for
the most general query. This is because we expect the
relation to hold for lists of all lengths, and there
is no way to report this set with a finite number of answers.
To study termination of a Prolog query Q, we use the
query:
?- Q, false.
Iff this query terminates, then we say that Q
terminates universally.
In our concrete case, we use:
?- list_length(Ls, L), false.
No termination can be observed. In this respect, the
program behaves as expected. However, testing termination
properties is not sufficient to detect all mistakes. What
else can we do?
Concrete test cases
We can try concrete test cases that we know
should succeed or fail. Prolog makes it very easy to
test pure programs in this way: You can
simply try queries on the toplevel! In addition, Prolog's built-in
backtracking mechanism makes it very easy to express a vast
collection of concrete test cases at once.
For example, as already stated, we know that the
relation should yield answers for lists
of all lengths. In particular, it should succeed for
lists of the form [], [a], [a,a],
... .
Let us
see if a counterexample exists:
?- maplist(=(a), Ls), \+ list_length(Ls, _).
None is reported. So, also in this respect, the program behaves as
intended. We can push this further and generalize the test
cases for example to:
?- maplist(=(_), Ls), \+ list_length(Ls, _).
Again, no counterexample is reported, even with this massive
generalization.
Testing against a reference implementation
What else can we do? We can for example test against
a reference implementation. In our concrete case, this is
easily possible, because almost all Prolog implementations ship
with a predicate called length/2 which is exactly
the relation we are trying to describe. Testing against the
reference implementation immediately reveals a mistake in our
program:
?- A #\= B, length(Ls, A), list_length(Ls, B).
A = 1, B = 2, Ls = [_A]
; A = 2, B = 4, Ls = [_A,_B]
; A = 3, B = 6, Ls = [_A,_B,_C]
; ... .
Of course, in most cases we do not have a reference
implementation!
Testing declarative properties
We can test the relation by using further properties that
we know must hold if the relation is implemented correctly.
For example, in our case, we know that if the length of a
list Ls is N, then the length
of [_|Ls] is N+1. Let us again try to
find a counterexample of this:
?- list_length(Ls, N), list_length([_|Ls], N1), N1 #\= N + 1.
Ls = [], N = 0, N1 = 2
; ... .
So there it is: From this solution, we know that either the
length of [] or the length of [_]
is not described correctly. In this case, it is clear that
the length of [_] should be 1, but
is incorrectly 2. In particular, the following
query incorrectly fails:
?- list_length([_], 1).
false.
Continue with Declarative
Debugging to see how we can locate and correct the
mistake.
Further reading
The approaches we describe above are by no means exhaustive. There
are several other declarative ways to test Prolog programs. One
very promising approach is
concolic testing, as explained for example by
Mesnard et al. in
Concolic
Testing in Logic Programming and the included
references.

Football: Wijnaldum hat-trick drives Netherlands to easy win over Estonia
AMSTERDAM: Georginio Wijnaldum struck a hat-trick as the Netherlands, who had already booked a spot at Euro 2020, eased to a 5-0 victory over Estonia in their final Group C qualifying clash at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday (Nov 19).
The home side were in complete control of the contest from early on, with defender Nathan Ake and 18-year-old debutant Myron Boadu also among the goals, as they finished second in the standings with 19 points from eight games, two behind group winners Germany.
Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said before the game that he would experiment with team selection and stuck to his word, with livewire Quincy Promes converted to right back, and AZ Alkmaar forward Calvin Stengs, 20, handed a debut from the start.
It took the home side just six minutes to hit the front, as Promes was afforded far too much space on the right and his delivery was headed back across goal and into the net by Wijnaldum, who netted eight times in his seven matches in the qualifiers.
Netherlands dominated possession and launched wave after wave of attacks. They were rewarded for their endeavour with a second goal as Ake headed in a cross from Memphis Depay.
Some of the fizz went out of the Dutch play after that as Estonia created a few half-chances of their own and the score remained 2-0 at halftime.
There was little to enthuse over in the opening 20 minutes of the second period but the Netherlands got their third when Stengs robbed the ball off Estonia defender Karol Mets and set up Wijnaldum for his second.
Captain for the night, Wijnaldum then collected a pass from Stengs to complete his hat-trick, before AZ forward Boadu came off the bench to net the fifth.
Euro 2020 qualifying results:
Netherlands 5 Estonia 0
Germany 6 Northern Ireland 1
Wales 2 Hungary 0
Slovakia 2 Azerbaijan 0
Poland 3 Slovenia 2
Latvia 1 Austria 0
North Macedonia 1 Israel 0
Belgium 6 Cyprus 1
San Marino 0 Russia 5
Scotland 3 Kazakhstan 1


Security and privacy are taken seriously when using the donation form. Donations rely on almost no outside services, and can be made (for the most part) completely anonymously. Here you can find some notes and common points addressing some questions you might have.
The source to this service is available on GitHub.
Your credit card details are never stored in any way, on any server we run. Your credit card details will never leave your browser. We use a temporary, one-time-use token that is generated in your browser, and have Stripe debit your account using that token. Stripe is the only service that ever touches your account information.
The only identifiable information we have after you donate is the information you leave in the submission form, namely, your name and email address. This email address is ONLY used to send email receipts to you, and so we can do basic accounting of the donations.
Email addresses are ONLY used for receipts, and for basic donor accounting. Receipts DO NOT contain any truly confidential information, they are for accounting purposes; you may use throw-away or burner email addresses. We will not use your email for any other purposes.
This site is ONLY served over HTTPS. Strict-Transport-Security is enabled. HTTP/2 is enabled. SSL certificates use ECDSA signatures. Certificates are signed and generated by Let's Encrypt, on the first of every month. SSL cipher suites are generally strong: choices only include perfect-forward secrecy with ephemeral key exchange and modern cipher suites. (Rolling public key pinning is a TODO). No external services besides Stripe are used.
In order to realize the above security setup, older browsers may not work on this site, due to a combination of key exchange or cipher suite support. If your browser can't donate reliably using the donation form, you may be able to use a service like Click & Pledge. See the main page on how to do that.
There is no true persistent database behind this application; the only record of donations and donors is maintained by Stripe internally.
You must have JavaScript enabled on this domain in order to donate.
There is (generally) no attempt to block or otherwise curb traffic from systems such as Tor. When combined with Bitcoin, and a throw away email, this gives you a decent level of anonymity and shielding.
There are no CDNs of any kind (such as Fastly or Cloudflare) used for this domain. The only files served from outside our domain are integrations with Stripe.
There are no third party JavaScript libraries used in this page other than Stripe.js and Checkout.js, and there is very minimal amounts of code in the donation server, in order to keep the codebase small, and have maximum auditability.
While we do not have any tracking, or use any 3rd party tracking services on this page, Stripe, by way of their JavaScript code, does use trackers like Mixpanel. Stripe doesn't support external usage of its JavaScript libraries at this time without these services. Thus, while we have no skin in the game — so to speak — the donation form as it exists today does have minor amounts of analytics/tracking.
In the future, to minimize the above tracking aspect (if possible), and increase the security margin, it would be ideal to implement the payment form as a separate iframe that may be embedded into the page. For a real implementation of this idea (and more on the security principles behind it), see www.paymentiframe.com, used by Tarsnap. (If you'd like to help reimplement this in an open source manner offering all the same features as our form, contact me.)


FROM THE DESK OF CHAIRMAN Sub-Committee on Finance South African World Cup bid 2010 24 Steven Bikko Blvrd Pretoria, Republic Of South Africa<EMAIL_ADDRESS>. Tel : +27-73-485-8223 . Attn: Sir, Greetings you must be aware now that my country The Republic of South Africa won the bid to host the world cup by 2010, prior to this bid my committee was mandated to lobby the members of board of Federation International Football Association (FIFA) on selection of the country to host the world, the bidding was intensive but at the end we got the hosting right. My committee was given the sum of $29 million dollars to lobby the members of the FIFA ruling body to make sure that we win the hosting right considering the gain that comes with the hosting right like South Africa's economy will receive a massive direct boost from hosting the 2010 World Cup, financial impact report for South Africa's World Cup bid committee shows that the 2010 World Cup will pump R21.3-billion into South Africa's economy, and creating an estimated 159 000 new jobs. With the help the living legend of our time 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Nelson Mandela who made an emotive case for The Republic of South Africa, we got the bid without spending all the money, I and my committee members saw this as a God sent opportunity tosecure our future and that of our family therefore was mandated by other committee members to look for a way to move the remaining money to a safe place with the help of a foreigner who we can trust and is ready to assist us to move the funds considering the fact that we are still members of the bid committee and in the eyes of the public. we have in our possession the sum $21millon since we spent just $8million for lobbying. We are ready to give you 20% for all your assistance then me and my colleagues will keep 80% lf you are willing kindly reply to my letter for further directive. we will want to invest our share intoReal-estate and air taxi business in your country with your assistance,bearing in mind that confidentiality is of great essences so is time in this project I will await your response, Best Regards .

In essence this is the bridge between selecting cross-links/matches in a view and accessing the underlying data in the Spectrum View.
Selection of cross-links and/or matches in a view populates this paged table, filling the bottom part of the display above the filter bar - the height of the displayed area is adjustable with a draggable split pane widget.
The table also reacts to filtering, as the matches shown in the table have to be both selected and pass the current filter state.
In the table, matches are shown as rows which are divided into groups according to the cross-link they belong to, with cross-links in turn sorted by the score of their highest-scoring match. Ambiguous matches are repeated in each cross-link they could belong to. The title bar of the table states the number of currently selected cross-links and matches with a paging widget for tabulating through large collections of selected matches.
The main purpose of this table is then to allow selection of a single match (by left-clicking) which then prompts the Spectrum View to open and display the raw spectrum data supporting that match. If the Spectrum View is already open, making a new selection in a view (repopulating this table) will also automatically open the top match in the table in the Spectrum View.
Moving the mouse over a row will highlight the match in open views, and reciprocally, highlighting matches/links in views will highlight matches in the table. The table itself has a large number of data columns for each match and will generally require scrolling to view its full extent.
Options here include the paging widget for tabulating to matches with lower scores, and an option "Only Show 2 Top-Scoring Matches Per Link" which is self-explanatory.


BWCTL works best when the clocks of the clients and servers are synchronized. If the hosts are not synchronized, they might try to begin tests at different times.
NTP is a protocol used to synchronize a computer's clock to clocks available over a network. The NTP software is available for, and often times, included with many operating systems. Most Unix systems use the reference implementation of the software, and the example included with this howto is geared to that version.
ntp.org has some advice for selecting NTP servers. However, there are some general rules of thumb to follow for NTP configuration. The NTP configuration should include between 4 and 7 NTP clocks with which it will try to synchronize. By including this number of servers, the NTP software can make better decisions about which clocks are accurate and who it should trust for time data. The NTP servers should be in close proximity to the host, though this is not a hard requirement. Ideally, the network paths to the servers should differ as much as possible from each other.
There are a large number of public NTP servers. There's a list available at http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome.
Internet2 maintains a set of NTP servers that can be used if the host is connected to the Internet2 network.

Theory:
Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent. This process differs from absorption, in which a fluid (the absorbate) is dissolved by or permeates a liquid or solid (the absorbent), respectively. Adsorption is a surface-based process while absorption involves the whole volume of the material. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon. The term sorption encompasses both processes, while desorption is the reverse of it.
A relation between the amount of adsorbate adsorbed on a given surface at constant temperature and the equilibrium concentration of the substrate in contact with the adsorbent is known as Adsorption Isotherm.
Some of the standard applications of adsorption are:
1.Heterogeneous Catalysis- This is probably the most important application relevant to chemical engineering. The reaction mechanism of how a reactant reacts on a catalyst surface revolves around adsorption. Therefore designing catalyst, reactors and studying them requires knowledge of adsorption
2.Separation- Adsorption is used as a separation process in many chemical as well as bio chemical industries to separate gaseous or liquid mixtures. Designing adsorption equipment like fixed bed adsorbers, gas drying, pressure swing adsorption etc. , chromatography requires knowledge of adsorption. Many experiments in the lab use adsorption as a process to calculate various parameters like surface concentration, porosity, change in surface energies, pore surface area etc.
Adsorption occurs due to the imbalance of forces at the surface of a material. This lead to formation of bonds (Covalent, ionic, Van der Waals, Hydrogen bonds etc.) between the surface molecules (adsorbents) and the molecules in the fluid phase (adsorbate).
Adsorption is usually described through adsorption isotherms that is the amount of adsorbate on the adsorbent as a function of its pressure (if gas) or concentration (if liquid) at constant temperature. The adsorption isotherm is the equilibrium relationship between the concentration in the fluid phase and the concentration in the adsorbent particles at a given temperature. The quantity adsorbed is nearly always normalized by the mass of the adsorbent to allow comparison of different materials.
Some typical adsorptions are:
Freundlich Adsorption Isotherm
It is an empirical relation between the amount of an adsorbate adsorbed per unit weight (x/m, mg/g) of adsorbent and the adsorbate equilibrium concentration (Ce, moles/L) in the fluid. The relation is given below
x/m=K[(Ce)^n]
where, K and n are Freundlich coefficients. Here,
x = weight of adsorbate adsorbed on m unit weight of adsorbent and
Ce= equilibrium concentration of adsorbate.
Taking logarithm on both sides of equation 1 gives,
log(x/m)=log(K)+nlog(Ce )
Hence a graph of log(x/m) vs log(Ce ) gives a straight line with K as y-intercept and n as slope.

When is the Westobou Festival?
The Westobou Festival arrives every autumn for five exciting days and captivating evenings, this year the festival is October 2-6, 2013.
How did the festival begin?
In 2005, the Trustees of the Academy of Richmond County, who work on behalf of the Porter Fleming Foundation administering grants and fellowships to organizations and individuals who demonstrate excellence in the fields of education, literature, art, science, history, music and culture, had a vision of creating a festival that would enrich the residents and visitors of Augusta. There began the planning for the first Westobou Festival.
Why the name Westobou?
The Westobou River, the former name of the Savannah River, was derived from the Westo Indians who migrated to Augusta in the 1660's. The festival pays homage to the history of the first settlers in our community.
How can I get involved with the festival?
The success of the festival is reliant on the hard work of our fantastic volunteers.


Simple QR Code scanner bookmarklet
QR <-- Move this to your browsers bookmark bar
Test area
Here is a text box to check if it works. Click into the text box, then click the bookmarklet, to see if it works properly:
The bookmark code
The above "QR" link / the bookmarklet, contains the following code:
// Wrapper for bookmarklet function
javascript:void((()=>{
// Get the active / focussed element
let focus = document.activeElement;
// The website may embed another using an iframe, which may have the focus instead of the input field. Find the active input field in embedded iframes
while(focus && focus.contentDocument)
focus = focus.contentDocument.activeElement;
// If no element has the focus, or it isn't a text input or textarea, return (do nothing else)
if(!focus || ( !(focus instanceof HTMLInputElement && focus.type=='text') && !(focus instanceof HTMLTextAreaElement) ) )
return;
// Open the qr code scanner webapp
const app = open("https://qr-s.s.abrecht.li/", null, "height=600,width=600,resizable");
// Callback for messages from the qr code scanner webapp
const ondata = ({source, data})=>{
// Check that the message was really from the qr code scanner webapp.
if(source === app){
// If it wasn't about a scanned qr code, return (do nothing else)
if(data.type !== 'qr-code')
return;
// Append the data from the qr-code to the end of the input or textarea which was active/focussed when the qr code scanner webapp was opened
focus.value += data.detail;
}else{ // If the message was not from the qr code scanner webapp
// And if it's still open, return (do nothing else)
if(!app.closed)
return;
}
// Either we got a QR code, or the qr code scanner webapp is closed. No longer listen for events & try to close the webapp.
removeEventListener("message", ondata);
app.close();
};
// Wait for messages
addEventListener("message", ondata, false);
// End of wrapper for bookmarklet function
})());
Security considerations
The qr code scanner webapp can not access the website on which the bookmarklet was executed, because it is opened in a new window, with a different origin.
The Bookmarklet code, however, can and does access the website it is executed on, for finding the input field to past into, and so on.
You can verify what the bookmarklet does yourself, see the bookmarklet code above and it's explanation above. Feel free to verify that it's accurat,
and that the code in the final bookmarklet indeed matches the above (minus the comments and spaces).
The qr code scanner webapp sends the content of a detected qr code as a message back to the bookmarklet which opened it. I use a 3rd party project for
scanning the qr codes in the qr code scanner webapp, and I haven't audited it's source a lot. If you use it to scan a swiss qr code or something similar,
I recommend double checking the reported data is accurate, just in case. It's always good to double check things.
Limitations
This bookmarklet will not work for inputs in an embeded frame with a diferent origin from the parent frame, and it will not work if the webpage blocks popups or javascript: URIs using it's Content-Security-Policy.
Credit
This is mostly based on and uses the qr code scanner demo from
https://github.com/nimiq/qr-scanner. That js library in turn uses some other libraries too.
Source code
The source code of this page is available using git from variouse places:


When a slave is launched through JNLP, the slave agent attempts to connect to a specific TCP port of Jenkins to
establish a communication channel. But some security sensitive network can prevent you from making this connection.
This can also happen when Jenkins runs behind a load balancer, apache reverse proxy into DMZ, and so on.
This tunneling option allows you to route this connection to another host/port, and useful for those situations.
The field can either take "HOST:PORT", ":PORT", or "HOST:". In the first format, JNLP slave agent will connect to
the given TCP port on the given host, and assume that you've configured your network so that this port forwards the
connection to Jenkins' JNLP slave TCP port.
In the latter two formats, the default host name and port number (that is, the host name that Jenkins runs, and the
TCP port that Jenkins opened) are used to augment the missing values. In particular the HOST: format is useful if
the HTTP reverse proxy is used and Jenkins actually runs on another system.


Operating Instructions
Before operating the DaisyDriver, it is important to familiarise yourself with the locations of the important features on the module. These are shown below, and numbered when mentioned in the text.
List of Main Components Corresponding to Image Numbers:
- USB micro B connector
- ISP 6 header
- Status LED
- SPI header
- Motor connector
- OUT chain connector
- IN chain connector
- Power connector
DaisyDriver is composed of modular units, each of which can operate separately or as part of a chain, connected by cables. Chained operation is useful to extend the number of axes that can be operated simultaneously. When operating modules in a chain, it is essential that the chain is not broken or added to whilst the chain is powered on, otherwise damage can result to the modules.
When adding motors to an existing setup, first site the modules at each group of motors. Once the modules are secured in place, they can be connected with cables. It is important that modules are joined in order, i.e. cables always run from the OUT port (6) of one module to the IN port (7) of another. Once the modules have been connected in a chain, the start of the chain (the module at one end of the chain which outputs to the remainder of the chain) can be connected to a computer using a USB A to Micro B cable (1). The power cable can be plugged into any of the units (8), though it is often convenient to connect it to the start of the chain.
When power is applied, all the units in the chain should blink their status indicator LED (3) in the sequence Red-Green-Blue. Each unit will then momentarily turn its status indicator Red to indicate that it is waiting to be initialised, before blinking Green a number of times corresponding to the module's physical position in the chain, which is also its logical address.
Once the chain has been powered on successfully, it is ready to be controlled.
DaisyDriver can be controlled in one of two modes: Serial Command or GUI.
Serial Command offers control of a chain of DaisyDrivers through a command line interface. More detail is available on the Serial Command page.
The DaisyDriver GUI is a specialised graphic interface for using the DaisyDriver with a WaterScope (Openflexure Microscope) for time lapse microscopy. More detail is available on the GUI page.

泰国， 2021年 10月
Thailand is set to reopen more of its popular tourist destinations starting next month, betting that a higher local inoculation rate can help draw more foreign visitors and revive an economy battered by the pandemic.
The reopening of capital city Bangkok and Chiang Mai as well as beach resorts Pattaya, Cha-Am and Hua Hin from Oct. 1 will be modeled after an initiative to bring back vaccinated tourists to Phuket, tourism ministry officials said. More destinations, including Chiang Rai, Koh Chang and Koh Kood, may fully reopen for visitors from mid-October, with travel bubbles planned with neighboring countries next year, they said.
The push to end pandemic-induced restrictions on tourists is part of Thailand’s new “living with Covid-19” strategy amid a raging outbreak that seeks to keep infections to a level that doesn’t overwhelm its health-care system. Countries from Singapore to Indonesia and the Philippines are tweaking policies to deal with the endemic nature of the outbreak to protect livelihoods and save their economies from extending a slump.
Sources: Health Ministry, Bloomberg
For Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, the revival of tourism is a key priority as it contributed about a fifth of the nation’s gross domestic product in 2019, the year before the pandemic.
One of the key criteria for Thai tourist spots to waive the quarantine requirement for fully-inoculated tourists is 70% local vaccination rate. The resort island of Phuket became the first Thai province to meet that target and reopened in July, with the program extending to nearby islands and beach communities last month.
Vaccination Coverage Thai provinces aim to reach 70% inoculation rate before their reopenings
Sources: Health Ministry, Bloomberg
Data as of Aug. 31; Pattaya is in Chonburi, Cha-Am in Phetchaburi and Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan
Thailand has said that its so-called Phuket Sandbox is a success, and the program would be emulated across the country. More than 26,000 vaccinated travelers used the Sandbox in the first two months, generating 1.6 billion baht ($49 million) in tourism revenue, Phuket officials said. Less than 1% of the visitors tested positive for the virus even though local infections increased.
澳大利亚 Australia
这两天刚才提了一下重开边境的事情： https://youtu.be/5QLDDJOSGhY
2021年9月底，
abcmoney.com.uk 估计：
When is tourism likely to resume?
Currently, Australia’s travel restrictions are due to continue until at least the end of 2021. Nevertheless, it is expected that the country won’t resume tourism until early 2022.
At the moment it is not possible to travel to Australia at all. Normally tourists are allowed to enter the country with a visa or visa waiver such as the Australian ETA. However, these authorizations are currently suspended due to the imposed health restrictions. They should be continued once tourism recommences.

M/s Electroplating Works & anr Page 1 of 7
Brief statement of the reasons for the decision:-
1. The complainant i.e Delhi Pollution Control Committee (in short DPCC) filed the present complaint against the accused M/s Electroplating Works and accused no. 2 Mange Ram (Proprietor of accused no.1) through Sh. Anwar Ali Khan, the then AEE.
2. It is stated in the complaint that the complainant is presently working as Assistant Environmental Engineer in DPCC and was placed at the disposal of Vigilance Squad setup by Government of Delhi and is a Public Servant by virtue of section 50 of the Water Act of 1974 (in short the 'Act'). It is further stated in the complaint that complainant is authorized to file the complaint by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee.
3. It is further stated in the complaint that according to the order of Hon'ble Supreme Court, no industrial effluent is allowed to be discharged directly or indirectly into the river Yamuna w.e.f. 1 st Nov, 1999 and further vide order dated 24.01.2000 Hon'ble Supreme Court directed that no industry in Delhi shall discharge their effluent into any drain leading to river Yamuna or to river Yamuna itself which has the effect of Polluting the said river. It is further stated in the complaint that the Hon'ble Supreme Court further observed in the order dated 13.09.1999 that there are enough laws at the command of the State to enable it to take appropriate action against the polluters in order to see that the river is not polluted and has directed the National Capital Territory of Delhi to take measures as it may deem proper if necessary by passing appropriate order Under Section 5 of the Environment Act and Water Act, 1974 to ensure that no industrial effluent is allowed to be discharged directly or indirectly into the river Yamuna.
CC no. 512995/2016 DPCC Vs. M/s Electroplating Works & anr Page 2 of 7
4. It is further stated in the complaint that on 23.04.2000, Vigilance Squad constituted by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi consisting of a team of SDM (environment) and Engineer of Delhi Pollution Control Committee carried out the inspection of the Industrial unit operating in the name and style of the respondents to be occupier of the said industrial unit and after the inspection by the team who made the following remarks in the inspection report. "Unit operational without keeping any effluent treatment ETP".
5. It is further stated in the complainant that a copy of the Inspection Report was duly signed by the respondents / accused at the site.
6. It is further stated in the complainant that by carrying out the Electroplating and discharging trade effluent without proper treatment and without any consent as required under the Water Act 1974, respondents / accused violated the provisions of section 25 and 26 of the Water Act, 1974 which are punishable under Section 42 and 44 fo the Water Act, 1974.
7. It is further stated in the complainant that by discharging the untreated effluent from his industrial unit into a drain the respondent was causing severe pollution and respondents / accused have violated the Provision of Section 24 of the Act. Hence, the present complaint.
8. Complaint was filed by the complainant. After taking cognizance, accused Mange Ram was summoned being the Proprietor of M/s. Electroplating Works. Thereafter, matter was adjourned for pre-charge evidence.
CC no. 512995/2016 DPCC Vs. M/s Electroplating Works & anr Page 3 of 7
9. Complainant has examined only one witness i.e CW-1 Dr. Anwar Ali Khan, EE, DPCC in pre-charge evidence. CW-1 has deposed that on 23.04.2000, he alongwith SDM, Civil Lines visited the unit of the accused and it was found that electroplating unit was operational and effluence from the unit were discharged to the drain without any treatment. He has further deposed that no ETP / treatment facility was installed at the premises to treat the effluent. He has further deposed that accused Mange Ram was also present during the inspection. He has further deposed that there was gross violation of provisions of Water Act and Pollution Control norms. He has further deposed that he was authorized vide order dated 05.05.2000 which is Ex. CW-1/A and complaint is Ex. CW-1/2.
10. Thereafter, pre-charge evidence was closed and vide order dated 04.07.2016, a charge under Section 43 & 44 of the Act for the violation of Sections 24/25/26 of the Act was framed against accused Mange Ram.
11. Thereafter, matter was adjourned for post-charge evidence. In post charge evience, complainant has examined two witnesses. CW- 1 is Dr. Anwar Ali Khan, the then EE, DPCC and CW-2 is Sh. Arun Mishra, Executive Director, DSIIDC. CW-2 has deposed on the same lines as deposed by the CW-1. CW-2 has also deposed about the fact that when he visited the premises alongwith CW-1, they found operating an electroplating works without any effluent treatment plant. Both witnesses were cross-examined by Ld. defence counsel / Ld. Legal Aid Counsel. Thereafter, post-charge evidence was closed.
12. Statement of accused was recorded. In his statement accused denied all the allegations and stated that he has been falsely CC no. 512995/2016 DPCC Vs. M/s Electroplating Works & anr Page 4 of 7 implicated in this case. However, accused opted not to lead any defence evidence.
13. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the submissions advanced on behalf of the parties and have gone through the relevant records. I have also gone through the relevant provisions of Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.
14. The relevant provisions of section 24/25 & 26 of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 are reproduced for ready reference:-
24. Prohibition on use of stream or well for disposal of polluting matter, etc.- (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, -
(a)no person shall knowingly cause or permit any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter determined in accordance with such standards as may be laid down by the State Board to enter (whether directly or indirectly) into any [stream or well or sewer or on land], or
(b)no person shall knowingly cause or permit to enter into any stream any other matter which may tend, either directly or in combination with similar matters, to impede the proper flow of the water of the stream in a manner leading or likely to lead to a substantial aggravation of pollution due to other causes or of its consequences.
25. Restrictions on new outlets and new discharge
- [(1) Subject to this provisions of this section, no person shall, without the previous consent of the State Board, -
i. establish or take any steps to establish any industry, operation or process, or any treatment and disposal system or any extension or addition thereto, which is likely to discharge sewage or trade effluent into a stream or well or sewer or on land (such discharge being hereafter in this section referred to as discharge of sewage); or ii. begin to make any new discharge of sewage
26. Provision regarding existing discharge of sewage or trade effluent. - Where immediately before the commencement of this Act any person was discharging any sewage or trade effluent into a [stream or well or sewer or on land], the provisions of section 25 shall, so far as may be, apply in relation to such person as they apply in relation to CC no. 512995/2016 DPCC Vs. M/s Electroplating Works & anr Page 5 of 7 the person referred to in that section subject to the notification that the application for consent to be made under sub-section (2) of that section [shall be made on or before such date as may be specified by the State Govt. by notification in this behalf in the Official Gazette].
15. Complainant has to prove that accused was engaged in activity of electroplating and discharging trade effluent without any treatment facility. To support its case, complainant has examined two witnesses. Both witnesses have specifically deposed that on 23.04.2000, they visited the unit of accused and during inspection, it was found that electroplating unit was operational and effluence from the unit were discharged to the drain without any treatment. They have further deposed that no ETP / treatment facility was installed at the premises to treat the effluent. Hence, both the witnesses are corroborating each other on material facts. Both witnesses are deposing that they found operating an electroplating works without any effluent treatment plant to treat the effluents. Both witnesses were cross-examined by the accused. Only suggestions were given in the cross-examination which were denied by the witnesses. Both witnesses have passed the test of cross- examination. There is no material contradictions in their testimony. Except suggestions, nothing important was put to the witness to impeach their credibility. I do not find any reason to disbelieve the statement of witnesses. Both witnesses have duly supported the case of the complainant.
16. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, it is held that the complainant has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against accused. Accordingly, accused is held guilty and convicted for offences punishable under sections 43/44 of the Water Act, 1974 for the violation of Section 24/25/26 of Water Act, 1974.

* Plan B: Murchison Falls National Park
* Go to the price page to know more information about the price.
SIZE: 3840 sq km
LOCATION: In the northwest, approximately 90km from Masindi Uganda’s largest national park protects a chunk of untamed African savannah bisected by the mighty river Nile.
It is named for the dramatic Murchison Falls, where the world’s longest river explodes violently through a narrow cleft in the Rift Valley escarpment to plunge into a frothing pool 43m below. Wildlife populations have largely recovered from the poaching of the 1980s; in the lush borassus grassland to the north of the Nile, elephant, buffalo, giraffe and a variety of antelope are regularly encountered on game drives, while lion are seen with increasing frequency.
In the southeast, Rabongo Forest is home to chimps and other rainforest creatures.
The Nile itself hosts one of Africa’s densest hippo and crocodile populations, and a dazzling variety of waterbirds including the world’s most accessible wild population of the rare shoebill stork.
WHAT TO DO:
Regular launch trips to the base of the falls offer fine game-viewing and birdwatching. Boat trips to the Lake Albert delta provide the best chance in Africa of sighting shoebills.
Chimp tracking at Rabongo Forest, and en route from Masindi in the Budongo Forest. Game drives on a good network of roads.s
* Plan C: Mgahinga Gorilla National Park
* Go to the price page to know more information about the price.
SIZE: 33 sq km
LOCATION: Far southwest, bordering Rwanda and Congo, 14km from Kisoro town.
The Park covers the northern slopes of the three northernmost Virunga Volcanoes: Mt. Muhavura (4,127 m), Mt. Gahinga (3,474 m), and Mt. Sabinyo (3,645 m). From far away, the huge cones of the virunga volcanoes dominate the landscape and beckon you as you approach. When you reach the park you can get a great overview of the area by walking up the viewpoint, just 15 minutes from Ntebeko Gate. Mgahinga Park has great biological importance because throughout the climatic changes of the Pleistocene ice ages, mountains such as these provided a refuge for mountain plants and animals, which moved up or down the slopes as climate became warmer or cooler. The Virungas are home to a large variety of wildlife, including about half the world’s critically endangered mountain gorillas.
What to do:
* Gorilla Tracking
This is the most thrilling tourist activity in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. The habituated gorilla in this park is called the Nyakagezi, which consists of 9 members, 2 silverbacks, 3 adult females, 2 juveniles and 2 infants.
Gorilla Tracking can be strenuous walk, so go prepared. It is advisable that you:
- Wear shoes with good traction, suitable for steep muddy slopes
- Carry rain gear, sunscreen and a hut, as the weather is unpredictable.
- Carry water and food
- Carry binoculars, you will see much more, you can hire from the park office
- When taking photos, remember your subjects are black animals in dim light, and flash is not allowed.
Good Manners for Gorilla Watchers:
- Keep your voice down or be quiet. You will see and hear if you do.
- Don’t point or waive your arms- this can be seen as a threat. Move slowly.
- If approached by a gorilla, back away slowly to keep 5m separation.
- Don’t use flash, this could threaten the gorillas and bother other visitors.
* Hiking: Volcano Climbing
Mt. Gahinga (3474m): On your way to the park, look out for small piles of stones in the garden fields.
Mt. Sabyinyo (366m): Like an old man, time has eroded Mt. Sabyinyo’s crown.
Mt. Muhavura (4127m): Seen from all over Kisoro, this volcano acts as a guide. The typical cone-shaped Mountain provides some of the best views in the country.
* Cave Exploration: Garama cave
This is one of the caves where once the crafty Batwa (who were warriors) lived and fought their neighbors, the Bantu. The distance to the cave entrance from the park headquaters is 3 km long

Amna Ilyas admits to struggles with trying to be fairer
by Entertainment DeskModel and actor Amna Ilyas has revealed that she struggled with attempting to be whiter by using fairness cremes when she entered the industry.
In a recent interview with BBC Urdu, the Baaji actor said makeup artists would use makeup two tones lighter than her natural shade when she posed for lawn campaigns. “The client would tell them to make me fairer. Then, they would Photoshop and airbrush the pictures,” she said during the interview. “Sometimes, I’d see the final pictures and think, ‘That’s not me.’”
Ilyas continued, “In the drama serials I worked on, I would often overhear directors on set say my skin tone doesn’t ‘match’ with the other actors in the frame. I found that very strange; of course they don’t match, because there are different people, each with their own personalities and skin. How can they ‘match’?”
The actor admitted that her desire to be fairer started long before this, because of societal standards of beauty. “When I was growing up, my aunts and cousins would always make snide comments that, ‘Oh, she’s got a tan because she goes to school. You should use lemon juice and gram flour on your face for a “glow” and “beautiful” skin.’”
For this, Ilyas has a warning on these fair-looking expectations placed on women’s beauty. “People don’t realise how sensitive this is and what kind of impact it can leave on someone’s mind.”
However, the actor was also not scared to admit to own her past. “There was a time when I was also using fairness creams. Then, I realised — that’s not okay. You should have healthy skin instead.”
She continued, “I did a fairness cream ad, and while I was doing that ad, I realised that this not me. After that, I decided I wouldn’t be a part of anything that made me uncomfortable or sell a lie.”
“There’s a standard of beauty that our society has set which it considers the only way to be beautiful — large, almond eyes, dark, waist-length hair, milky white skin,” she added.
The star also commented on the impact of the entertainment industry and the way women are portrayed. “The top five TV heroines are extremely fair-skinned — and those who weren’t [fair to begin with] have made themselves fairer to be a part of that race. I want that girls with my complexion, who are considered ‘too thin’ or ‘too dark’, shouldn’t consider themselves ugly.”

“Search Inside Yourself: The Unexpected Path to Achieving Success, Happiness (and World Peace).” by Tan, Chade-Meng.
I agree that finding the purpose in business environment makes the work itself a pleasure, purpose also boosts the feeling of happiness.
Most of us already experienced passion, which as described by Meng is also known as “flow,” where peak performance meets peak engagement, and time flies by. I enjoy the feeling of flow when working.
My values are: can-do attitude, courage, quality, and kindness.
I stand for integrity and commitment; also believe it's possible to 'have fun for living'.
Since success and failure manifest strongly in our bodies, the idea is to become comfortable with experiencing these emotions in our bodies. For example, we let go aversion that arises along with failure, and with time we become emotionally resilient to success and failure.
Whatever one frequently thinks and ponders upon, that will become the inclination of his mind.

Pic: Cris Cyborg topless photo shoot features new look at former UFC champ
by Jesse HollandFormer Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s featherweight champion, Cristiane Justino, is showing mixed martial arts (MMA) fans a part of her they haven’t seen before — literally — with one of those artsy-fartsy photo shoots in black and white.
The Brazilian is set to make her Bellator MMA debut opposite Julia Budd at the promotion’s upcoming event on Jan. 25, 2019 inside The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., against reigning 145-pound titleholder and fellow Strikeforce veteran Julia Budd.
Here's another look:
“On January 25th I look to make history becoming the only fighter, male or female, to win every major world title in their weight class,” she wrote.
Justino (21-2, 1 NC) held gold for Strikeforce, Invicta FC, and UFC, and will look to capture her fourth straight title against “The Jewel” in roughly two months. “Cyborg” turned 34 back in July and departed UFC after her decision win over Felicia Spencer at UFC 240.

Looking for a very easy but properly delicious supper? Try these Middle-Eastern inspired chicken wraps.
 In a small bowl, mix the ras-el-hanout with 4-5 tablespoons of the olive oil to create a paste. Smear the paste over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Season each breast with a pinch of sea salt, cover with cling film and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to a few hours.
To make the yoghurt sauce, put the yoghurt, fresh mint and sumac in a small serving bowl. Season with a generous pinch of sea salt and some black pepper. Mix well until the sumac and mint are evenly incorporated.
For the ras-el-hanout chicken wraps, preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the chicken breasts (you may want to use two pans at a time if cooking all four chicken breasts at once). Fry the chicken for about 8-10 minutes on one side and 6-8 minutes on the other side. You can check how cooked the chicken is by prodding the fattest part of the chicken strips with your finger - if it feels very springy then it needs to cook a bit longer. Check the chicken is cooked by piercing the thickest part with a skewer or small knife. If the juices run clear and the flesh is no longer pink then the chicken is cooked and ready to serve. Place your cooked chicken on a chopping board and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
To serve, put a few strips of chicken on each tortilla wrap, add a dollop of the yoghurt sauce and then drizzle with pomegranate molasses. Add some rocket or lettuce leaves, roll up the tortillas and serve.

Support for simulating arbitrary network topologies.
Support for simulating arbitrary network topologies.
The topologyDescriptor is given as a graph (see http://www.scala-graph.org/api/core/api/#scalax.collection.Graph). A message sent by a process p is delivered to another process q only if q is a neighbor of p in the graph. The protocol can also be queried through the neko.util.Topology trait, to obtain the set of neighbors
By default, the topologyDescriptor is a clique of all the processes, but other ready-made graphs can also be found in neko.util.Topology.

Implements multi-party FIFO channels.
The protocol ensures that all messages sent from a process p to a process q are delivered by q in the same order they were sent by p.
The protocol is not thread-safe if each process has more than one send thread or more than one receive thread. Fortunately, this is the case as long as each neko.NekoProcess has only one protocol neko.ActiveProtocol and doesn't use timers, which is the most common case for examples used in the lecture I445. A real-world implementation would however need to be made thread-safe.

TOY STORY 2 RATING: 8 /10 --> Great Movie
For more reviews and movie screensavers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
Listen, I am going to admit right up front that I am not a big fan of animation films, and wasn't a particularly over-enthused admirer of the first part of this Pixar duo of film, but gosh darned if I wasn't bowled over like the rest of those over and under grown kids in the theatre tonite!
 During his abduction, Woody meets a few of his older friends from his days as a TV star and is suddenly faced with the tough decision of remaining with them and preserving his legacy forever, or returning to his rightful owner, who is bound to get rid of him any year now.
CRITIQUE: A rollickin' great lil' fun adventure for newborns, children, kids, teenagers, young adults, parents, grandpas and grandmas alike. It doesn't take much for one to enjoy themselves with this movie. It's got fantastic effects, a fun story, likeable characters, an upbeat soundtrack, a decent runtime and toys, toys and more toys. And what an adventure they get into here. Indiana Jones could take lessons from some of these cartoon munchkins. >From its opening scene, which is one of the cooler action animated sequences that I have ever seen on film, to the last twenty minutes of the movie which just rattle from one humdingin' close call after another. This film has got everything that its original had and more, including one really cute new toy named Jessie. Va-va-voom! What an adorably cute doll! They even toss in a decent "touching" scene for effect. Pretty cool. Now folks, please don't get me wrong here.
This film is not a revolution of the medium of film. I mean, honestly speaking, the animation isn't a thousand times better than the original or anything, but does remain quite spectacular on the big screen. But if you happen to be reading this review a few years after the film's original release, you may just scoff at my enthusiasm since the leaps and bounds which continue to be made in this burgeoning industry seem to leave much of their own ancestry flying in the wind. Buuuuut, at this point in time, I can honestly say that this film was a positively enjoyable treat. In fact, the first film seems more like a "set-up" for this one, a sketchpad used to clarify the actual creation of this complete animated "movie". In fact, most of this film takes place on the "outside" of the room in which the human being characters have become eerily lifelike. I can't wait until they start creating computer-generated pictures starring human characters in extraordinary situations...wow, things are really gonna be nuts! All in all, kudos to everyone associated with this exciting new-age cartoon adventure sure to satisfy all lighthearted people looking for a good time.
Of course, the biggest handshake should be reserved for the genius who actually thought to come up with an idea for a cartoon film based on the actual merchandise of the film (i.e. the toys)!! Wow, now what kind of merchandising exposure do you think we could get with this one, boss?!? Yikes, laughing all the way to the toy bank, eh fellas?
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Various references to other films pepper this flick with at least three blatant homages including the one right off the top playing the theme to 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. There is also a pretty cool photocopied shot of the dinosaur running after a jeep, as seen through the side-view mirror, a la JURASSIC PARK and one of the funniest moments of the film for me, which was a beautiful tip of the hat to the STAR WARS trilogy, involved Buzz' final confrontation with Zurg. I won't say any more. A couple of new celebrity voices have joined the fray in this film including the always adorable Joan Cusack as the ever adorable Jessie and Kelsey Grammer as Stinky Pete the Prospector. And let's not forget Newman! That's Wayne Knight as the voice of Al McWhiggin, the evil antique toy collector. Brrrrrr. Director John Lasseter was also the man behind Pixar's first original computer generated film called LUXO JR. in 1986. That film involved a smaller, younger lamp bouncing around after a ball, while the older lamp looked after it. That short "lamp" film was obviously very special to the people at Pixar, since they've made it part of their visual logo before each of their films. In 1996, Lasseter received a Special Achievement Award at the Academy Awards, for the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film. He also directed TOY STORY and A BUG'S LIFE.

Creating New Functions for Live Templates
The Predefined Functions are the building blocks for creating Parameterized Templates and Surround Templates. However, sometimes the Predefined Functions are not enough.
This tutorial illustrates how to add custom functions to an IntelliJ Platform plugin and make them available for use by Live Templates.
As an example, a function is created to convert a selection to Title Case.
Refer to the SDK code sample live_templates
.
Implementing a New Function
Under the hood, the predefined functions for Live Templates are called macros.
A new custom function for Live Templates is implemented in TitleCaseMacro
, which extends MacroBase
.
Three TitleCaseMacro
methods are of particular interest:
- The
TitleCaseMacro()
constructor passes the name and description of the macro to the parent constructor. - The
isAcceptableInContext()
method tests whether the macro is available in the current context. The test relies on theMarkdownContext
object previously defined in thelive_templates
plugin. - The
calculateResult()

Adding a Live Template
Using the procedures previously discussed for Template Creation and Export the Live Template, add a Live Template to the Markdown.xml file for the plugin.
The XML representation of an example Live Template using the new titleCase
function is listed below.
There is only one variable, TITLE
.
The expression for TITLE
evaluates to the titleCase
function provided by the plugin.
The argument to the titleCase
function is SELECTION
, which tells the IntelliJ Platform to operate on the current selection.
<template name="mc"
value="$TITLE$"
description="SDK: Convert to title case"
toReformat="true"
toShortenFQNames="false">
<variable name="TITLE" expression="titleCase(SELECTION)" defaultValue="the quick brown fox" alwaysStopAt="true" />
<context>
<option name="MARKDOWN" value="true" />
</context>
</template>
Register Extension Point
Using the com.intellij.liveTemplateMacro
extension point, register the implementation with the IntelliJ Platform.
<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
<liveTemplateMacro implementation="org.intellij.sdk.liveTemplates.TitleCaseMacro"/>
</extensions>
Check Plugin
Now verify the plugin is working correctly.
- Run the plugin in a Development Instance.
- Create a new file
testing.md
and enter several words in lower case. - Highlight the text and enter ⌥⌘J to open the Select Template popup. Confirm that the SDK: Convert to title case is available in the popup, and select it.
Test that the Live Template works by entering m or return. The text will change to have each word capitalized:
