Role of Media in India
Media is the means of communication that reaches or influences people widely, has a significant place in the statecraft machinery especially in the age of information revolution. It is the source of information for a society regarding any issue be it local, regional or global, people rely and even trust on what is presented to them by media.
The media has become an important tool of the statecraft in the modern era. It is the 'fourth estate' which
helps the state to further its interests, objectives and goals .
Therefore, media act as an influential and instrumental tool with regards to building confidence or promoting
mistrust among people on issues related to national security.
Technology has endowed the electronic media with three major attributes -
i) Instantaneity: Instantaneity has provided it with a ringside view in real time,
ii) Spontaneity: Spontaneity has allowed it cover events as they unfold
iii) Locality: Locality has provided it with the power to bring the farthest corner of the globe into a household.
This has also enhanced the reach and, therefore, the hold of the electronic media over the viewers' minds. It
has, however, also given rise to a multiplicity of players in this field, with consequential concerns of accountability,
responsibility and public good.
• It is, therefore necessary to ensure that the media is prompt, responsible, sensitive, accurate and objective
in its presentation of news. In the context of maintenance of public order, the role of the media could
go a long way in preventing rumour mongering and incorrect or mischievous coverage by a small section
of the media which could be supportive of partisan elements.
• The central issue is how to have an effective interface with the media. Given the technological environment
in which the media functions today, the fact that there is no monopoly over sources of information and
the need to have an informed public, control measures are neither feasible nor desirable.
• It is incumbent on the administration to continuously provide the media with immediate, accurate and reliable information so that, the public is not left with gaps in their information which might be filled by sensational and biased news reporting. This requires capability building at various levels of the administrative machinery so as to provide a transparent and responsive administration.
• To ensure that government officials interact with the media in a professional manner, media management modules should be integrated in various training programmes. Media persons may also be associated with such training modules. Emphasis on local language media would obviously be useful.
• In hierarchical structures within the government, interaction with the media is generally regulated to avoid confusion and contradictions. To overcome such hindrances, officials should be designated at appropriate levels to interact with the media and their accessibility should be ensured.
Thus to maintain internal security following principles have to be followed:
• Ensuring the objective presentation of news and fair and unbiased comment, to promote the advancement of education and culture.
• Raising and maintain high standards of decency and decorum in all programmes.
• Providing programmes for the young which, by variety and content, will inculcate the principles of good citizenship.
• Promoting communal harmony, religious tolerance and international understanding.
• Treating controversial public issues in an impartial and dispassionate manner.
• Respecting human rights and dignity.
Way Ahead:
Ideally, media should be impartial and free from the propaganda mechanisms. It should provide balanced
account to the people. Media educates and keeps the public informed about the national and international
political and other human realities taking place in everyday life. The purpose of media is to highlight the
trouble spots in the society and press the government and public to devise suitable mechanisms to eliminate
those troubles.
At the national level, the responsibility of media is to build a bridge between people and governments. Media
serves as a checkpoint by ensuring that the government is working within its mandate. However, following the
globalization, the responsibilities of media have also widened. It has to play a role for preserving and pursuing
the national interests of the state and highlighting its perspective along with the global issues. It has to examine
the conduct of international relations and again to highlight the trouble spot at global level in lieu of global

Velazquez on End of Government Shutdown
Velázquez on End of Government Shutdown
January 25, 2019
Press Release
Washington, DC – Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement regarding news that a deal has been reached to end the government shutdown:
"I'm pleased the President and Congressional Republicans have come to their senses and, finally, agreed to put an end to the longest government shutdown in history. Unfortunately, this type of solution could and should have been reached weeks ago, avoiding hardship for 800,000 federal employees, thousands of subcontractors and countless other Americans.
"Now that the shutdown has ended without any funding for Donald Trump's foolish, hateful wall, in coming weeks I'll be carefully monitoring subsequent border security negotiations. However, today, I join thousands of federal workers and other Americans in breathing a collective sigh of relief that this unfortunate episode is coming to a close."

This is day two of Armchair BEA 2015 and I am STILL SO EXCITED. Man, I had better get myself to BEA Chicago next year or I just may never go...
Today blogs around the world are talking about visual expressions, different ways to tell a story. Perhaps it is through paintings, webcomics or graphic novels. I, however, am deviating from the book theme to highlight a few music videos that have been on my mind lately.
These three music videos all tell such a story to me. One has been controversial because of it's use of a 12 year old girl and a 30 (?) year old man. But please, look beyond the judgemental surface and see what the dance is really about. These two artists were nothing more than a fantastic choice to portray two warring sides of the same person. I had better share this video first than!
Than yes, another is by the same artist, but the skill of this dancer, the story she tells through the movement of her body, is ...flawless. 4 Grammy noms? Yuppers.
This dance vid of 'Take Me to Church' by Hozier featuring the Bad Boy of Ballet.
People. Dance can tell stories like nothing else. Beauty.

But then also feeling like I can't back out.
I've been asked to shoot a couple of events. I've got my volunteer shifts. I've paid camp dues. I have people I want to meet and gifts to give them.
But. I have no solid way of getting there.
My car, I would trust on the drive for sure, but I can't see all my gear fitting in it, and it's now too late to add racks or whatnot. I did consider getting a trailer hitch installed so that I could attach a bike rack or something but I didn't want to spend the (fairly considerable) money if it turned out I didn't need my car... so I didn't. So while my car would make the drive comfortably and I'm comfortable in it... I don't see it taking my gear, plus, I don't really want to tent camp all the way there and back.
The van I was supposed to have... well, it's not here. It's stuck in red-tape land. Maybe it'll get here today. Maybe it's on the ferry as you're reading this. But... I can't count on that. And if it does arrive, I don't know how I'll be driving it... and the plans we had to install a ceiling vent and maybe even a backup camera... no time for that, even if it arrives today. (At least, not that I know of... although who knows.. and maybe I could delay another day...but moot point right now as the van is not here and who knows when it will be. This is incredibly stressful and difficult for me..... the not knowing.)
Jason has a friend who has a mini van they were going to sell, and Jason asked if I could rent it for the trip and they said yes. Except the van needs a new battery (Jason put on in on Saturday in the extreme heat with no shade and I thought he was going to die which made me want to die) and probably tires and has been sitting uninsured for several months and I don't know if all that can happen in time and if it does, I don't know how all my gear AND ME fits in there and I can't wrap my brain around it because it's still not actually functional for the drive.
On top of all that... which, honestly is more than enough to make me feel like this just isn't going to happen.... it's been incredibly hot this week and I have NOT done well with it. I have actually panicked a few times (heat and enclosed spaces or rooms/houses with no air flow give me panic attacks and then I have to run outside and try not to throw up and then it's no cooler out there (especially at Jason's place... it's bad) So I'm sitting there, trying not to throw up even though I've over heated and all I can think is I can't even handle the heat at home... no way I can handle it down there.
Like, honestly. I'm not sure I can do this.
Yes, it's always a bit stressful getting ready to go but I've always just trusted it will work out. This year? I don't have a solid plan to get myself there. Not even a solid back up plan. Nor a solid back up back up plan. And I have not relaxed in weeks. Not only have I not relaxed, I've been incredibly stressed. And it's been hot. So I'm mentally taxed, and physically not well and emotionally exhausted.
I honestly don't feel like me going to Burning Man is something that I can handle right now.
But I sort of also feel like I can't not go.
But yeah... for anyone who thinks Burning Man is this wild crazy party in the desert? Oh hell no. Just... no. It's so much work and money and time and that's not even the half of it. I remember coming back either last year or the year before and thinking "I don't want to do that again." Now I don't even really want to do it now. Yes I have happy thoughts of being there.... but then I feel how hot I am and I'm by the frigging ocean.... and I try to trust that a vehicle will work out... but I can't.
And I'm trying not to woulda-coulda-shoulda...
And I'm wishing my computer wasn't getting sicker and sicker.
If wishes were horses and all....
And let's not even talk about Saturday's Hip concert. My heart can't be broken in to any more pieces.

TransCanada changes name to TC Energy
Canadian pipeline firm TransCanada said Wednesday it will change its name to TC Energy to better reflect its performance as a major pipeline and power generator for all of North America.
The name change, which requires shareholder approval, comes after TransCanada's push in recent years to build hundreds of miles of oil and gas pipelines in both the United States and Mexico.
"TC Energy better reflects the breadth of our business and acknowledges our proud history of safely and responsibly delivering the energy that millions of North Americans rely on every day," said TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling.
TransCanada is perhaps best known for its controversial and still-pending Keystone XL oil sands pipeline project, which TransCanada still hopes to begin construction on later this year if it can clear the remaining legal and environmental hurdles.
RELATED: US government says shutdown shouldn't stop Keystone hearing
The overall Keystone pipeline system would transport heavy oil from Canada to Texas refining and port hubs near Beaumont and Houston. The southern Texas leg of the pipeline network is already completed.
TransCanada intends to continue trading under the "TRP" stock ticker on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges after adopting the new name.

Calgary Flames - Zeros And No Heroes
Entry posted by FlamesFanatic ·
992 views
2 members have voted
When it comes to the 2010-11 Calgary Flames, there is perhaps no team in the NHL that has created such an intense sense of painful failure as the Flames. The Flames entered the season after a tumultuous off season that had many media pundits confused and perplexed. There was no clear consensus exactly how the newest iteration of the Calgary Flames would perform. Some predicted glory, with perhaps the chance of challenging the Vancouver Canucks for the North-West Division title. Many predicted that the Flames would be struggling to reach a playoff spot, and few were even bold enough to utter the dreaded term "lottery team" into the mix. Now that the team is 29 games into the season, its time to take a look to see which seers predicted correctly.
To say that the Flames have been bipolar this season would win you the understatement of the year award. We have witnessed games where the Flames have absolutely dominated, such as the Flames victory over the Chicago Blackhawks 7-2 on November 19th. There have been games that the Flames have capitalized on chances and weak goaltending and have survived through the strength of team defense and exceptional goaltending, such as the 4-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. Then there have been games where the Flames show up for only parts of the game, put in sincere efforts and fail to have anything to show for it, such as the recent 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on December 9th. There truly hasn't been a stretch of longer than three games where the same team has shown up to play.
The question of course becomes just why is the team so terribly inconsistent? Its not like the team is filled with players whose character screams of comparisons to Alexei Kovalev. Perhaps we can blame it on our top paid players in Jarome Iginla and Jay Bouwmeester. There can be no denying that both players have had their fair share of struggles this season. The other option that comes to mind is the lack of top end players.
While the Flames seemingly on paper possess great offensive depth, they are truly lacking in the high octane offensive forwards. While the Flames sit much higher in the goals per game category than last season at 18th with 2.62 goals per game, there is still some highly disturbing trends. For example, the Flames have played in 29 games, yet in 10 games they have scored one goal or less. Considering the Flames have won only a single game 1-0 this season, this lack of scoring becomes an obvious problem. Its practically a minor miracle that the Flames have only been shutout twice up until this point (three times if you count the 1-0 OT victory in Nashville on Oct 19th). When you calculate two goals or less per game, it becomes nearly half of their games played.
When you examine the Flames roster, you have to imagine that there would be more goals being scored. Up front, the Flames have been led by a set of five forwards in Brendan Morrison (17), Alex Tanguay(23), Jarome Iginla(25), Matt Stajan(16) and Rene Bourque (22). Only one of those names really screams offensive prowess nowdays, and even then there are those that would argue its more of a whimper. There is no denying that Iginla had a brutal start to the season, though thankfully he seems to have picked up his game.
Alex Tanguay has experienced a revival in Calgary after two forgettable seasons in Montreal and Tampa Bay. Matt Stajan, while putting up points, has at times been forgettable and downright putrid on the top line. Rene Bourque is quickly becoming known as a streaky player whom enjoys racking up multi point nights and then disappearing for games at a time. Brendan Morrison was a late acquisition for the Flames and one that has worked out handsomely so far. Nobody expected Morrison to join the team and put up as many points as he has. The only major issue to be aware of with Morrison is that he did the exact same thing with the Washington Capitals last season, with an extremely strong first half to the season only to end up being a healthy scratch by the time the playoffs rolled around. As long as he can continue to bounce around the lines and contribute defensively at least, there is truly no worry about him, especially at the cap hit he provides.
Defensively, as much like last season, Mark Giordano has been a bright spot offensively. Jay Bouwmeester is having a much better campaign offensively than the season before, already matching his goal totals from last year. He still has not lived up to his salary offensively and his defensive game, while normally stalwart, has definitely seen signs of the occasional brainfart. Anton Babchuk, a relatively new acquisition for the Flames provides something that the team has been lacking on the second powerplay unit since the departure of Adrian Aucoin and that is a booming slapshot. Now if only that shot was put to use more often and more accurately, but we can only pray at this point that Babchuk achieves half the success he had two seasons ago when he had 18 goals.
So who does that leave? The absence of Daymond Langkow due to the lingering injury from last season is definitely a major factor. Say what you will about the fall in his offensive totals, there is no denying that a healthy Langkow could help provide some offense, especially with his in front of the net crash and bang style. Niklas Hagman has lived up to his reputation of an offensive enigma, with 7 goals and 13 points in 29 games. However, for a player who is renown for his streaky goal scoring ways, I'm hesitant to cast much blame on Hagman for the Flames lack of scoring. Curtis Glencross experienced his best start to a season in his career putting up second line numbers for much of the month of October. By the time November rolled around however, his impact has disappeared from the stats sheet and spends much more time in the penalty box than desired. Ales Kotalik has only played in a handful of games for the Flames after suffering an injury early in the season. It is hopeful that his booming shot will add some offense to the team. Rookie Mikael Backlund has struggled offensively for the Flames this season, though his superb defensive play has somewhat made up for the difference. It would be nice if Head Coach Brent Sutter was willing to take more of a chance and let Backlund perhaps get more ice time with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay, especially in games where Matt Stajan looks as motivated as Don Cherry trying to be nice to Europeans.
Olli Jokinen was the most controversial signing of the summer, prehaps even more so than Russian winger Ilya Kovalchuk. When Flames GM Darryl Sutter re-signed Jokinen less than three months after trading him to the New York Rangers for Ales Kotalik, many believed him to have gone mad, and to many, the feeling has not changed yet. Jokinen was brought back to "bring some size and offense down the middle". Its entirely possible that Sutter was aware of the severity of the injury suffered by Daymond Langkow and realized just how thin the depth at center would become and made a desperation move to solve this problem. Its not like there was much choice in the Free Agency market for centers either.
Regardless, Olli Jokinen has been just as much a disappointment as last season through the first 29 games. Notching only three goals on the season, Olli is on pace for 9 goals and less than 35 points. Jokinen is without a doubt one of the most frustrating players on the Flames, because there truly is no question that he has the drive and effort, just it seems that the talent that made him a 91 point player and three time thirty goal scorer has completely vanished. In my humble opinion, Jokinen's drop in offense directly correlates to the incident involving teammate Richard Zednik, and I believe mentally that Olli has never fully recovered.
When looking at our bottom six, there really isn't much should shock many. Darryl Sutter has successfully found several grinders and muckers in the form of Tim Jackman and Tom Kostopolus that can work well on an energy line. Throw in some players such as David Moss and Craig Conroy, and sometimes they can even chip in offensively.
Defensively, the Flames have been mystifying as well. With defensive defensemen such as Cory Sarich (3.6 million caphit), Steve Staios (2.2 million cap hit) and Robyn Regehr (4 million cap hit), one would be led to believe that the team would preform admirably. However, the truth of the matter is that the Flames 20th in the Goals Against category, a fact that no doubt has defensive minded GM Darryl Sutter grinding his teeth in the press box.
Goaltending, while imperfect at times (see Harju vs Kiprusoff, December 7th), it has remained a relative position of strength, as both Miikka Kiprusoff and Henrik Karlsson have had games where they were one of the few bright spots. Karlsson, acquired in the offseason from San Jose for a 6th round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft, has been something of a pleasant surprise, quickly becoming a fan favorite for his emotional style of play.
When it truly comes down to it, the players on the Flames simply have failed to find a sense of consistency and effort. For a team that once prided itself on its blue collar work ethic and hard nosed play, this is a drastic difference. Head Coach Brent Sutter has accused his players of simply taking shifts off, and sometimes even full periods and games. The lack of effort is simply unacceptable on a team that ranks consistently amongst the highest spending teams in the league. On that note, at different points this season, we have seen healthy scratches of Stajan, Staios, Sarich, Moss. If you expect your team to have success in the cap system set down by the NHL, you simply cannot afford to have so much salary simply keeping seats warm in the press box.
Up front, there needs to be a much more responsive top six. Arguably the only top line player the Flames have is Jarome Iginla, and he needs to find his consistency that won him two Richard trophies, an Art Ross and a Pearson. A case could be made for Alex Tanguay being a top line player as well. However, Brent Sutter has yet to find a centerman that can keep up with the duo of Tanguay and Iginla. His centerman of preference seems to be Matt Stajan, though as mentioned before, he is prone to games where it is painful to watch him. Olli Jokinen has seen spot duty on the top line as well, with no great success.
It would be nice to see Brent Sutter take a chance when his team is struggling and letting centers such as Brendan Morrison and Mikael Backlund have a game or two to try and establish some chemistry, since it seems a terrible waste of talent to have such offensive players languishing in the bottom six. Niklas Hagman and Rene Bourque are second line caliber players and need to start acting as such on a more consistent basis, because with the lack of offensive from the top line in certain games, the scoring still has to come from somewhere if the Flames hope to have any form of success. Defensively, the Flames have shown the potential to shut down some of the better offensive teams, yet have yet to display that sort of effort in more than one game at a time or without several lapses in judgment that result in goals against.
It is not to say that all hope is lost for the current edition of the Calgary Flames. Truth be told, while they do currently occupy the 14th spot in the Western Conference, they are only a half a dozen points out of a playoff spot. However, this team cannot afford to continue digging itself into a hole and expect to be able to stay this close to playoff contention. The Flames Faithful whom occupy and create the C of Red need to stay supportive and perhaps with a bit of luck and effort, the fans will get to see the Red Mile again in April.
Note: If the Flames lose again in Anaheim tonight, it is entirely likely you'll see a second blog, discussing the idea of a potential rebuild. If not, a halfway report card is more than likely around the 40 game mark.

Via Hyperledger, AmEx to Test 'Blockchain for Membership Rewards'
May 25, 2018 by William Peaster 0 Comment 7351 Views
Financial services powerhouse American Express has turned to IBM's Hyperledger blockchain platform to test a new blockchain-based membership rewards program. The initiative is only the latest mainstream project leveraging Hyperledger's tech.

Subscribe to the Bitsonline YouTube channel for more great interviews featuring industry insiders & experts
A New Way for Rewards
American Express has established itself as one of the most recognizable brands in the United States. And now the high-profile company is piloting one of its most popular assets onto blockchain technology in a test that may cause competitors to consider doing likewise.
That asset? AmEx's Membership Rewards® program, which will be trialed on IBM's Hyperledger blockchain via an initial testrun with AmEx partner Boxed.
The experimential pivot marks a milestone, being blockchain's inaugural deployment in a large American firms' rewards system.
Digging Through the Details
In describing its blockchain-based loyalty trial, AmEx laid out three specific benefits that merchants could eventually enjoy from it:
- Little time and resources needed to get started
- Rapid deployment of rewards offers
- Resulting data secured and private
To that last point, AmEx has promised to create private channels "on our blockchain implementation with the merchant to securely pass information back and forth." The company also promised to produce "the appropriate anonymized smart contract codes for their offers to allow for proper passing of information and rewarding on our end."
Hyperledger Use on the Rise
IBM's open-source Hyperledger software has attracted many new users in recent months.
For one, the Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group and the Gemological Institute of America just turned to the Hyperledger blockchain to create a jewelry supply chain system. Another jewelry consortium has also recently embraced the tech for its own logistics play.
Last year, seven large European banks embraced Hyperledger to create a trade finance platform for small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs). IBM's also worked with insurance titan AIG to test out smart contract insurance policies "on chain."
If these adoptions are any indication, we'll be seeing much more of Hyperledger in the near future.
What's your take? What's your take? Is IBM a growing powerhouse in the blocktech world? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

On July 25, 2019, CEE Legal Matters reported that Competera, a Ukrainian pricing platform for e-commerce and omni-channel retailers, had established its headquarters in the United States. We reached out to Competera's Senior Legal Counsel Denis Boshko for details.
CEELM: Tell us briefly about what Competera is, and its background.
Denis: Founded in Kyiv in 2014, Competera has established offices in the US, UK, and Singapore and serves customers in 28 countries. The company helps category managers in retail to make the right pricing decisions, manage their category and pricing strategies, and increase revenue using tools built on advanced technologies, heavy math, and retail expertise. In 2019, Competera was selected as the second-best startup among 60 international AI projects at Startup Elevate, London Tech Week's flagship event. From a legal standpoint, Competera provides licenses to use its software.
CEELM: What does Competera's legal team look like?
D.B.: At the moment, our legal team consists of two lawyers. Also, we are going to hire legal trainee to improve Comptera's document flow. I'm a Senior Legal Counsel, and my colleague Alexandra Isaieva holds the post of Legal Counsel. Alexandra brings strong compliance experience from strictly regulated markets of pharmaceuticals and mostly takes care about project-based matters at Competera. As for me, my previous experience is related to information technologies and legal consulting. I set priorities for our team and mostly take care of contracting.
It's important to note that the dynamic of Competera business requires prompt reaction and multi-functionality from our team. Thus, we don't have a strict separation of areas of responsibilities or expertise. We're focusing on project and business needs within a given time.
CEELM: What exactly was involved in this particular project? Did the company really move its headquarters to the US, or simply open a US office, with main operations remaining in Kyiv? Will there be a legal team in the US reporting to you?
D.B.: The goal of the project was to set up a new group structure with the holding company in the US. The project also included the transfer of intangible assets to the new holding company. Competera's long term goal is to build up a strong presence on the global market, and the new holding structure should be beneficial for this process. Furthermore, the US holding company will operate as a foundation for future investment. Primary operations remain in Kyiv, [as] Ukraine is considered to be a core R&D center. At the moment, we are not planning to set up a legal team in the US or other countries of presence. Instead, we are going to rely on the advice of local legal providers on a case-by-case basis.
CEELM: Why did Competera choose to work with Dentons on this project? Did Dentons also help with the company's expansion to the UK and Singapore?
D.B.: From the very beginning of the project, we were looking for a legal provider to support our transformation. We choose to work with Dentons as the result of a competitive procurement procedure. We were looking for an international legal firm with a strong presence in selected jurisdictions. Dentons provided us with a dedicated project manager from Kyiv office and contacts with local teams in respective countries. Dentons did help Competera with transformation process concerning the Singapore entity, specifically, prepared the set of documents required for respective legal actions.
CEELM: Were there any unexpected challenges or obstacles in this process? How were they overcome?
D.B.: The transfer of the intangible asset from the Cyprus company to the US holding company was one of the challenges for our transformation. First of all, we had to verify the validity of the transfer of the intellectual property from initial code creators from Ukraine to Cyprus company and then transfer it to our US company. Furthermore, the transfer involved three different jurisdictions, and the choice of the applicable law was a challenge for our team. Moreover, the US GAP includes many requirements for recognition of the intangible asset. Our team had to collect additional documents to comply with local standards. These challenges were overcome due to the project-based approach to our transformation. The project team was agile enough to collect all the information from different sources, coordinate the work and cooperation with Dentons and, based on the respective analyses, to organize the valid transfer of intellectual property.

Ahmadis, for whom the practise and possibly also the promotion of their faith in public are elements which define their identity and as such are essential, are very likely to be at risk of political persecution in Pakistan. The "relationship consideration" demanded by the Federal Administrative Court, whereby the number of members of a particular group is compared with the number of actual threatening acts of persecution, seems virtually impossible in this case.

Who are the Buyers and Sellers at the NBA Trade Deadline
With the deadline two weeks away, trade rumours around the NBA are starting to swirl. What's fascinating about this season is that so many teams are alive in the playoff race, which should mean that a lot of teams will be looking to improve. With that said, let's take a look at which teams are going to be buyers, sellers and which teams are still on the fence.
Indiana Pacers: You have to feel devastated for the Pacers and Victor Oladipo, who at 32-15, were in prime position to challenge for a top 4 seed in the East. Remember though Oladipo did miss time earlier this season and as good as he is, the Pacers still managed to win games. Look for them to seek a replacement for Oladipo and go for it.
Philadelphia 76ers: The 76ers are building momentum at the right time, playing their best basketball of the season. With the way this team is currently constructed -elite starting 5 but lacking bench production – you get the sense that if they could add one or two complementary pieces to come off the bench, the 76ers are real NBA title contenders.
Houston Rockets: No one is better at wheeling-and-dealing than Rockets GM Daryl Morey. With James Harden looking like the most dominant offensive player since Michael Jordan, you need to get the guy some help; D-league call-ups just aren't going to cut it.
Utah Jazz: Like the 76ers, the Jazz are playing their best basketball of the season and with the Western Conference wide open after Golden State, you get the sense that they could take the opportunity to make a real run at it. If they could upgrade the point guard position and add another shooter, they could make a run to the conference finals.
Los Angeles Lakers: Don't look now but if the playoffs started today, the Lakers would be on the outside, looking in. Sure, it may be too early to worry, especially considering that LeBron James should be returning from injury from very soon, but this Lakers team needs help.
Memphis Grizzlies: The 'Grit and Grind' era has come to an end and it is time for the Grizzlies to move on. They are listening to offers for long-time franchise cornerstones, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley.
New York Knicks: The Knicks have made it clear that their focus is on the future and on clearing as much cap space as possible to open up two maximum-salary spots this offseason. They are actively seeking trades for Tim Hardaway Jr, Courtney Lee and Enes Kanter.
Atlanta Hawks: With some promising young pieces, the Hawks may actually be competitive sooner than expected. To add to their young core, they will be seeking cap relief or draft picks and have made it clear they are willing to deal Kent Bazamore, Dewayne Dedmon and Jeremy Lin.
Cleveland Cavaliers: At 9-40 and in prime position for the Zion Williamson sweepstakes, the Cavs only option is to sell. They can officially trade Kevin Love, as six months have gone by since he signed his contract. They may also entertain offers for Tristan Thompson.
On The Fence
Washington Wizards: The Wizards shouldbe sellers, but it's complicated. On one hand, they are 10thin the East, John Wall is out for the year and this franchise isn't going anywhere with this current team. On the other, the bottom of the Eastern conference is well within their reach, they've played better without Wall, they already acquired Ariza and even if they wanted to tank it would be difficult to find buyers for Wall and to a lesser extent, Otto Porter, due to their horrible contracts.
Miami Heat: Like the Wizards, the Heat should be sellers given their record and roster but there is just one problem: They have the HIGHEST TEAM PAYROLL in the NBA this season! No that is not a typo, the 22-24 Miami Heat have the highest team payroll in 2018-19. Talk about brutal management.
New Orleans Pelicans: This all hinges on whether or not they believe they can resign Anthony Davis. The last thing they want is to lose him without getting any compensation in return. If they suspect he's done all he can in New Orleans and is ready to move on, then now would be the time to cash in.
Brooklyn Nets: I am 100% sure that not even the Brooklyn Nets thought they would be 26-23 midway through the season. Now that they are in this position, do the Nets decide to make a move at the deadline and improve their chances of a playoff run or wait for the off-season where they will have an opportunity to select two 1stround picks and potentially sign two max salary players?
Dallas Mavericks: The Mavericks have a really interesting decision to make down to stretch. In the Doncic trade, the Mavericks gave up Trae Young and a top 5 protected pick in this year's draft. Do they push for a playoff spot or shut down their starters early on to ensure they keep their pick and potentially pair another young star with Doncic?

Tree Cutting
by hilaryhedgehog • Thu 04 Jul 2013 14:02
We have just moved into our new/old house near Le Compeix and part of the purchase is a small forest at the back of the house. DOes anyone know who I can contact to get some of the trees cut down - the pines which make it very dark. The previous owner only managed to get quotes from people wanting the indigenous trees. And is it true that the use of pine in woodburners is not a good idea?

Listening to vinyl isn't as simple as asking Alexa or opening Spotify on your smartphone, and that's part of the reason why people love it. The act of choosing a record, placing it and dropping the stylus, that requires more attention. And as a result, you're more likely to appreciate the music more. For those just starting out, building your own hi-fi system can be intimidating — we're here to help.
Most entry-level hi-fi systems require more than just a turntable and a pair of speakers. In the past, most turntables needed a separate component, a phono preamp (or phono stage), to amplify the turntable's normally weak signal. Otherwise, it wouldn't be powerful enough to drive the speakers. According to Audio Advice, a turntable's signal "is about 1,000x lower than the signal coming from a CD player or a streaming device."
Today, it's common for turntables to have their own built-in amplification, meaning they have a built-in preamp and don't require you to have a separate component; you can hook the turntable directly up to passive speakers and it'll just work. We call these "all-in-one turntables" and you really just need a pair of speakers and speaker cables to listen to music.
There are different kinds of "all-in-one" turntables. Most entry-level options have built-in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, either of which affords you the option to stream music from services like Spotify or Apple Music to your system, without actually having to play a vinyl record. It combines the best of analog and modern streaming. Some all-in-one turntables even have speakers built right into them, but we probably wouldn't recommend them.

Buying Guide
Best All-in-One: Pro-Ject Juke Box 3
Pro-Ject's latest vinyl turntable, the Juke Box E, is really a terrific entry-level hi-fi system; if you're willing to spend a little more, this is probably the best option for most people. It has a power amplifier and phono stage built right into its body, plus a Bluetooth receiver (which is a rarity) so you can stream music without actually playing any records. All you need is some cables and a pair of bookshelf speakers.
Key specs
Turntable: Belt drive
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Tonearm: 8.6″ aluminum
Preamp: Yes
Connectivity: Bluetooth
Budget Pick: Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB
First things first: Audio-Technica's LP120XUSB is a USB turntable, meaning you can play and record records at the same time. This is a great way to turn your vinyl into digital music files, so you can listen to them without a turntable or record nearby. More importantly, the LP120XUSB has a built-in phono preamp, so all you need is some passive or powered bookshelf speakers to hook up to it.
Key specs
Turntable: Direct drive
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Tonearm: S-shaped tone arm with hydraulically damped lift control
Preamp: Yes
Connectivity: USB (Mac- and PC-compatible)
Editor's Pick: Fluance RT81
Fluance has always specialized in home theater systems and hi-fi speakers, but it wasn't until 2016 that the Canadian-based audio company got into turntables when they introduced the Fluance RT81 and RT80. The RT81 is the higher-end model and features a solid wood body, as opposed to the RT80's hollow one, and it's a really beautiful –yet still affordable – turntable. It has a built-in Texas Instruments preamp that you can turn on or off, enabling you to buy upgraded external pre-amp and further customize your setup.
Key specs
Turntable: Belt drive
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Tonearm: S-shaped tonearm with an adjustable counterweight
Preamp: Yes
Connectivity: RCA

Best USB Turntable: Sony PS-HX500
Like the Audio Technica LP120, this is a USB turntable that's capable of playing and digitizing your vinyl records. But Sony's PS-HX500 is more bespoke and is a direct-drive turntable – probably the better option if you don't plan on spinning the record like a DJ. And, of course, it has a built-in phono preamp, which you can turn off or on depending on if you want to upgrade to better external preamp.
Key specs
Turntable: Belt drive
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Tonearm: straight tonearm
Preamp: Yes
Connectivity: USB (Mac- and PC-compatible)
The Grail: Symbol Audio Modern Record Player
The Modern Record Player by Symbol Audio is admittedly different from everything else on this list. That's because it's not just a turntable. It's a true all-in-one system with an integrated turntable, a custom class AB amplifier and custom-engineered, built-in speakers. It's designed with a unique three-phase isolation system to eliminate distortion. The feather in its cap is that by request Symbol Audio can add Bluetooth, Chromecast, Sonos Connect or Airport Express so you can wirelessly stream music the way you want. (It just looks classy as hell, too.)
Key specs
Turntable: Belt drive
Automatic or Manual: Manual
Tonearm: RB110 tonearm
Preamp: Yes
Connectivity: Bluetooth, Chromecast, Sonos Connect, Airport Express (add-ons)
Turntable 101: What Else You Should Know
The Downside of All-In-One Turntables
The big advantage of purchasing an all-in-one turntable is that it's simple to use. You just get some cables, hook it up to your favorite bookshelf speakers and it'll just work. As far as disadvantages, there are two that jump out.
First, an all-in-one turntable might sacrifice a little bit of audio quality. Since all of the components are built into the turntable, it could add extra noise and vibrations to the system, thus preventing the stylus to read the record as accurately. That said, a high-quality all-in-one turntable will be able to mediate this problem, with a sturdier platter and other higher-quality components.
Second, upgradeability. Most all-in-one turntables are designed to be the finished article, not to be tinkered with, and this kind of eliminates the fun of building out a system. This is especially for audiophiles who like to add separate components to the system, upgrading over time and improving/refining the sound signature. On the flip side, some all-in-one turntables actually allow you to turn off their built-in preamp and add your own. This way you can upgrade your system down the road without having to replace your turntable.
Passive vs Powered Bookshelf Speakers: Which to Choose?
When it comes to bookshelf speakers, you're going to encounter a few different types — but not all are designed to work with an all-in-one turntable. Passive bookshelf speakers are your best and safest bet. These speakers have no built-in amplification and don't need to be connected to a power source. You connect them to your turntable with its built-in preamp, and that's basically it. It's a pair of speakers that you can just plug into your all-in-one turntable (via RCA cables) and it'll just work.
Powered bookshelf speakers are the other option, but we don't really recommend them. They won't work with most all-in-one turntables because these speakers have their own built-in phono preamp and amplification and they work with the turntable's built-in preamp. The loop-around is that some all-in-one turntables allow you to turn off their built-in phono preamp. If your turntable does, then you'll have to turn its preamp off in order for it to work properly with your powered speakers.
A Manual or Automatic Turntable?
You're going to also decide whether to buy manual or an automatic all-in-one turntable, which simply refers to how the turntable operates. A manual turntable requires you to "manually" lower the tonearm and place the stylus, then pick it up when the record is over. While an automatic turntable does this "hard" work for you (after pressing a button).
The advantage of an automatic turntable is that it makes playing records even easier. It also eliminates any issue of placing the stylus incorrectly, which can then scratch and potentially ruin the record. The advantage of a manual turntable is that it makes listening to music feel more deliberate. It also requires you to pay more attention — picking tracks and then lifting the tonearm when the record is finished — which many people think is the point of listening to vinyl in the first place.
There shouldn't be any difference in the sound quality of a manual and an automatic turntable.

Astro Bears (Switch)
Anyone remember the old game Snake, sometimes called Snafu? Or maybe you would recognize it as the light cycle game in TRON? You know, where you leave a trail and try not to touch it? Or you try and block other players with your trail? Now just add bears in astronaut suits running around spherical planetoids like you do in Mario Galaxy and you have Astro Bears for Switch! And you know I couldn't pass up reviewing a game called "Astro Bears" anyway.
One word of warning is that this is mostly a multiplayer game, so make sure you have lots of gaming friends around before you download this. In the main mode, up to four players can compete at the same time. Each player chooses a bear, each with his or her own special stats. Then you all run around a planet leaving a trail behind you. You can dash and jump over trails, but if you hit one, you lose. Whoever is left standing last, wins. You can choose rules like the size of the planet and if your trails are infinite or disappear after a while.
The other mode is called Competition and you choose a team of three bears and play several rounds with random rules. But it's pretty much the same thing, just longer. Finally is a single player mode where you try to catch "Jetfish" on a planet and try to get as many as you can before you hit your line. Two players can also do this mode co-operatively.
And that's pretty much the game. Aside from not having enough single player content, the only other problem with this game is that it feels like a mini-game that should've been part of a bigger Mario Party style game or something. But if you really enjoyed those TRON light cycles but thought they needed more bears, here you go. It's at least a simple to understand game that anyone can figure out quickly.
Kid Factor:
Nothing violent here. If a bear hits a line, they just disappear. Reading skill is helpful for some for some of the text, but not necessary just to play. Astro Bears is rated E for Everyone.

The past week has been pretty intense. Coming to terms with a new aircraft in such a short space of time is quite challenging.
Since the last update I now sit with seven flights remaining, five with my instructor, one mock check ride and then the real thing, hopefully next week at some point.
The thirteen flights in which we take to the air in the Seminole are designed as followed.
The first four are called MEP flights including an internal check ride on the fourth. The 'MEP' stands for Multi-Engine Pilot rating. It mainly consists of flying the aeroplane and understanding how it works. What to do when an engine fails, what to do with an engine fire, flying with only one engine (asymmetric) and coming to terms with a different type of power-plant (not to mention there being two of them!)
It has been a steep learning curve and I hope I'm more settled in the aircraft moving forward over the remainder of the course. My instructor is the Chief Pilot here at the flight school and he is notorious for expecting extremely high standards from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave the Flightline and I think this will certainly put myself and his other students in good stead not only for the check ride but for future flying.

Oakland Chocolate Company Wins Medals
Its Jamaican Jerk Caramels and Strawberry Cardamom Caramels were big winners.
Image courtesy of TasteTV
Oakland's own Oakland Chocolate Company won multiple medals in the 2019 International Chocolate Salon, whose results were announced this week.
The Oakland Chocolate Company is a bean-to-bar outfit whose cacao comes from farmers in Jamaica's Parish of St. Mary.
General manager Nancy Nadel first became interested in Jamaican chocolate while talking with Steve Belnaviz, a farmer based in Islington, north of Kingston.
The OCC's 70% Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Bar won a gold medal in the "Best Taste" category of the competition's "chocolate bars" division. In that same division, its 70% Candied Curry Coconut Bar won a bronze medal in the "Most Unique" category.
In the "caramels" division, the OCC's Jamaican Jerk Caramels won a bronze medal in the "Best Taste" category. Its Strawberry Cardamom Caramels won an honorable mention in that same category.
Another Oakland chocolatier also scored honors. In the competition's "vegan" division, Oakland-based Flying Noir's V'Aria Collection won three bronze medals: in the "Best Ingredient Combinations" category, the "Best Taste" category, and the "Most Unique" category.

Columbus: Gunmen opened fire in a nightclub in Ohio which claimed one life and injured four others, police announced on Saturday.
Police said the shooting occurred just after 12:30 a.m. Saturday at Delfin NightLife in Columbus on the city's north side.
Domineek Sharp, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene and two people taken to hospitals are in critical condition while the others injured were driven to hospitals in private vehicles, police said.
The four people who were injured by gunshot wounds were 23-year-old Quisaiah Davis, 24-year-old William Campbell, 23-year-old Dejon Lockett and a 17-year-old who was not identified, media reports.
Police are aware of cellphone video taken inside the nightclub just moments after the shooting, WBNS-TV reports.
Officials are asking witnesses who haven't been interviewed to contact the Columbus homicide unit. Police said there could be more than one shooter, but there was no other suspect information released.

A vulnerable woman with a broken hip and wrist lay on the floor for over an hour before an ambulance arrived.
Isobel Hall, who has Alzheimer's disease and is poor sighted, slipped and fell at a Northumberland residential care home where she lives, breaking a number of bones.
Staff at the premises were unable to pick her up as they are not allowed to move residents in case they cause further injury to those in their care.
An ambulance was called, yet it took 90 minutes for paramedics to arrive and take the mother-of-three to Wansbeck General Hospital.
Husband Keith, a door engineer, last night hit out at the emergency service for taking too long to assist his beloved wife of 31 years.
Meanwhile, the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust insists it acted correctly as the call was classified as non-life threatening.
Keith, 53, of Blyth, Northumberland, said: "The care home is first-class and staff did everything that they should do to help my wife. I can't praise them enough as they stayed by her side throughout.
"But it took far too long for paramedics to arrive. It was so undignified for my wife to be lying on the floor for such a long time and it should never have happened.
"I worry that if Isobel falls again then it could be even worse. The ambulance service needs to put care home residents at the top of their list."
Isobel, 53, fell on Tuesday, February 11, just before 7.20pm, and an ambulance arrived at 8.50pm. As she lay on the floor the type two diabetic's sugar levels dropped dangerously low.
Grandfather-of-nine Keith was called and rushed to be at his wife's side to be with her at her time of need.
He said: "I am aware that the ambulance service is stretched but more needs to be done to ensure patients are not waiting so long.
"It is hard to stand back and not be able to do something to help. Things like this need to be looked at by the ambulance service - I worry that this is just the tip of the iceberg."
Isobel has been in hospital since the accident and has had two hip operations. She also suffered a left broken wrist and a broken right thumb. In the future she will need physiotherapy to ensure she recovers fully.
A NEAS spokesperson said: "This was classified as a non-life-threatening green call and has no formal response time.
"We arrived on scene at 8.50pm. Two other vehicles had previously been despatched, but on each occasion had been diverted to potentially life-threatening situations.
"When life is in immediate danger, calls are classified as red. These situations always take priority over green calls.
"NEAS currently has the fastest response performance to red calls in England and Wales. We are funded to reach 75% of red patients within eight minutes. At the moment we are achieving just under 80%."
Isobel was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease two years ago and her condition has deteriorated so quickly that she often does not recognise Keith and their children, Daniel, 30, Darren, 29 and Leanne, 27.

Gold Needs To Hold Current Levels
Kitco Commentaries | Opinions, Ideas and Markets Talk
Featuring views and opinions written by market professionals, not staff journalists.
Fundamentals: Gold is off to a strong start this week trading up about $10, although it did not respond to soft wage growth on Friday's jobs report. The Chinese Yuan is down 0.4% to the U.S Dollar today and this is a constant reminder that the Yuan is driving Gold demand right here, right now. The Dollar is also losing ground to the Euro which is at the highest level since the June 14th ECB Meeting when Gold was above $1300. While there is no major economic data from the U.S today, Eurozone Sentiment data beat expectations and ECB President Mario Draghi speaks at 8:00 am CT and again at 10:00 am CT. Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari speaks at 8:15 am CT. We encourage you to read our Tradable Events this Week to see what catalysts lie ahead for the metal.
Technicals: Gold has moved out above first key resistance at 1262.5 and it will be crucial to hold this level on a closing basis to ensure this momentum stays intact. Second key resistance at 1267.4 is posing a hurdle and we want to see a test to major three-star resistance at 1274.4-1275.9 at minimum this week. There is a trend line from the April 11th high that is falling sharply and today comes in around 1290 and between two of our levels, we will be watching this closely on sharp rips.
Bias: Bullish/Neutral
Resistance: 1267.4**, 1274.4-1275.9***, 1284.7-1287.7**, 1295.8***, 1305.5-1313***
Pivot: 1262.5
Support: 1253.7-1255.7**, 1238.3-1241.7****

New Yorker Roberta Freymann has been producing fun fabrics since 2003. What started with womens fashions, is now a collection that reaches into men's, children's and a home line. Hand block printing is a centuries old craft performed by the finest artisans in India. This painstaking process involves the application of raw mixed paints on fabric using handmade irons or woodblocks. Several blocks are used to create one print because each color in the design is applied separately. The printed fabrics are then carefully laid out to dry in the sun transforming the color of the paint from dull and muddy into brilliant hues.

Case Studies of Jobs Performed in the Irving, TX Area
(Irving, TX) – Death scene cleanup is difficult and often times emotional work. Aftermath technicians must maintain a sense of professional objectivity in order to fully decontaminate an affected home. However, they also demonstrate personal sensitivity when working with survivors. When a man died unattended in his house in Irving, Texas, his family retained Aftermath to remediate the death site.
The job supervisor carefully explained to relatives what needed to be done, and took time to answer all of the family's questions before starting the cleanup process. At the family's request, Aftermath technicians also gathered up personal belongings so that they could be sorted through at a later time. The crew then proceeded to fully clean and disinfect the affected area of the house, leaving it safe for family members and future homeowners.

THIS makes me sick.
To think that our tax money goes to the UN so they can undermine the human rights of people around the world. In particular this one is an attack on the right to self defense. . . .
In reality it translates into how to disarm the people so the tyrants can do what they want.
The UN loves this crap in the name of reducing violence we will take away your ability to defend yourself, if you can't fight back then there is no violence right? Just be a nice slave and do what the beautiful people running things tell you. You know they are smarter than you anyway right?
We really need to start to fuck with the UN and stop all the socialist CRAP they push. We have a veto, we should be using it early and often - oh that's right, our President hates the American way of life too, I forgot.
I will remember in November though. . . .
Thanks to Say Uncle for the heads up. . .

Piazzolla means Tango to most people; but that goes both ways: anyone who said tango in the last twenty years immediately evoked associations with Piazzolla. And rightly so, even though it was not ever thus. Of course the tango has a much wider historical meaning; there now exists a tango beyond Piazzolla; but if anyone was worthy to put the tango on the musical map of the world (or, more fashionably on the world music map) then it was this difficult, short-tempered, obstinate, capricious wanderer.Download booklet

Wanderer: a person who travels aimlessly. In Conroy's first concert, he will perform works by Clementi, Schubert and Liszt as well as debuting one of his own compositions.
The heart of the programme is Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy, considered as one of his most difficult works for piano. It is based on a theme from a song titled "Der Wanderer." The lyrics that accompany the passage translates to:
Here the sun seems so cold,
the flowers faded, life old;,
and what they say with an empty sound,
I am a stranger everywhere.
Vallée d'Obermann is part of a suite, Années de pèlerinage (Years of pilgrimage), which was written on Liszt's travels through Switzerland. It is inspired by a novel by Senancour, of the same title. It is about a man overwhelmed and confused by his encounters with nature.
Conroy's own composition is a rhythmic and stylistic journey, containing aspects of many musical genres.
Clementi: Sonata in C major Op 34, No 1, 1st Movement
Schubert: Wanderer Fantasy
Liszt: Vallée d'Obermann
JCHY: Scherzo Capriccioso
