Islamabad: Saudi Arabia has agreed to waive 2,000-riyal tax imposed on Pakistanis performing Umrah every year on the request of Prime Minister Imran Khan, a media report said on Wednesday.
The Senate Standing Committee on Religious Affairs was informed on Tuesday that Prime Minister Khan had requested Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud to abolish the tax imposed by the Saudi government on Pakistanis during his visit to the Gulf country last month.
“I have been informed that this was some kind of a discriminatory tax on Pakistanis and the government should do something about it,” Senator Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri said.
Secretary of Religious Affairs Muhammad Mushtaq said the tax was imposed to discourage repeated Umrah by a few people only and had recently been slapped on anyone coming from any country of the world.
“However this new tax of 2,000 riyals (USD 533) on people performing more than one Umrah within two years has been abolished for the people of Egypt and Turkey after requests were made by governments of these countries to the Saudi government,” Mushtaq was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
He said that the matter had been taken up with the Saudi authorities in Islamabad and it was suggested that Prime Minister Khan should make the request to the Saudi crown prince for the tax waiver.
Some senators, however, criticised the prime minister’s move, saying it would benefit only a few rich people who wanted to perform Umrah every year.

After spending two straight days at the Veld earlier this month in Toronto, this reporter feels like something of an expert when it comes to concerts. So naturally I was keen to attend one of the first gigs of the weekend.
Performers Valentine Wolfe, a gothic duo from South Carolina, played Thursday night starting at 10PM. Their style infused heavy hitting bass with harmonized eerie vocals. The duo did not stop there—they added to their milkshake of macabre with a drum machine and electronic harmonies. Using the strings on the double bass affected a very nice touch to the complexity of the music.
Their style is not simple; they easily flow into many genres using their unique sound, blending gothic, vaudevillian, and electronic. Valentine Wolfe have created a sound that is as unique as it is mesmerizing. It captivated me and certainly had the audience enthralled.

We've all heard the saying, "Clothes make the man"; but does the photographic equipment make the photographer? One might think so when looking at new advanced cameras, dream lenses, and all the editing software out there. Others might disagree after admiring the wonderful photographs by Henri Cartier Bresson or Edward Weston, which were taken with relatively simple cameras and lenses.
The real questions to ask yourself are: What kind of images would I like to make? And what are all these things that I see advertised as indispensable photo equipment really for?
Geared toward the beginning to intermediate photographer, this book teaches about the variety of photographic tools available and what each is meant to accomplish. Learn about the benefits and drawbacks of various pieces of equipment and discover what kind of gear you need to realize your creative ambitions. The book is filled with beautiful images that illustrate how the type of equipment discussed can affect an image.

天命を革める　[てんめいをあらためる]　tenmei o aratameru, lit. "restoring God's Will"; also known as ekisei kakumei (易姓革命), meaning a change of dynasty (lit. "predicted name change") decreed by Heaven when the incumbent emperor is found to be lacking in moral virtue.
張精　[ちょうせい]　Chou Sei, Rakushun's formal name; "Rakushun" is his azana; Rakushun and the late king of Kou share the same surname, though this no more implies a relationship than two people both named Johnson or Smith. In all of China, the 100 most common surnames, in a population of 1.3 billion, account for over 85 percent of the population. It's even worse in South Korea, with 22 surnames making up 80 percent of the population. In the U.S., thanks to immigration, the top 300 surnames come to only 35 percent. Apparently, the Divine Decrees still apply, though.
"A marriage may be registered under either spouse's census records." When a marriage is registered under the wife's koseki (census record), it is known as a muko-iri (婿入), or son-in-law marriage. In the anime series Kodocha, because Sana is an only child and a girl, even though she is still in sixth grade, her mother firmly informs her that when she marries, it will be a muko-iri marriage and her husband must adopt her surname.
In other words, don't start dating a boy who doesn't know the ground rules going in.
And when her classmate Tsuyoshi's parents get divorced (meaning that his mother's name would be removed from his father's koseki) and Tsuyoshi's mother gets custody, his teacher actually announces in class that henceforth he will use his mother's maiden name. Is essense, according to the family registration laws, his mother's family has taken custody of him.
The divorce rate in Japan: 2.27/1000 population; in the U.S: 4.1/1000 population.
"However, you can bestow the rank of royal consort upon a companion, such as queen or prince." Prince can refer to both a son and husband. The husband of Queen Victoria was Prince Albert; the husband of Queen Elizabeth is Prince Philip.

Cats Protection is asking people to ‘look before you lock’ to avoid curious kitties becoming trapped after receiving a spike in missing cat reports during the last month.
The charity’s national information line handled almost 250 missing cat calls during July - a 60 per cent increase on the monthly average - and this is because cats are more likely to roam during warmer weather.
“The tendency for cats to wander further away from home when the weather is warm explains why there has been an increase in reports of missing cats during this recent heatwave,” said Nicky Trevorrow, Cats Protection’s Behaviour Manager.
Many owners sadly know the heart-break a missing pet can cause. When Molly Rayment’s cat Wispa went missing from her home in St Albans on 7 May, Molly feared the worst as it was very unlike the black-and-white moggy to be gone for more than a few hours.
Molly searched the area, posted on social media, contacted local forums and charities, including Cats Protection’s St Albans Branch, notified the microchip company and knocked on neighbours’ doors.
Molly also contacted the local vets and even the local council in case they had found any dead cats. “It was very stressful but it was the not knowing that was the worst,” she said.
Then 20 days after she had last seen Wispa, Molly got a call from one of her neighbours to say they had found a cat in their garage and thought it was her missing moggy.
A trip to the vets revealed that Wispa weighed just 1.9kg - 2kg less than her normal healthy weight - and the vet said she wouldn't have survived another couple of days. She was initially put on a drip and then over the following weeks Molly had to be careful to feed her only small amounts every few hours.

Ahead of Liverpool's crunch Europa League clash with his old club Borussia Dortmund on Thursday, Klopp has opened up to the German media.
In a surprise press conference held in his homeland, the Reds boss made a mockery of the Reds in his native tongue.
Klopp spared few from insults, with Mamadou Sakho, Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge bearing the brunt.
Even Andy Carroll gets some stick, before Klopp switches back to his current players with a finishing dig at Simon Mignolet.

Colonised by Japan, bullied by mainland China and propped up by the United States, for generations, Taiwan has struggled with a fractious independence. Without burdening her graceful and personal performance with heavy political allegory, Hsin-I Lin tells the story of her mother and Lin’s own battle for independence.
Between monologue, dance and sound-installation, relations shift shape and political ties are redrafted whilst Lin’s stagecraft presents simple gestures and simpler props capable of donning a delicate symbolism a red sheet represents a wedding veil, a caesarean birth, an infant, or uncompromising restraints.
An-Chih Tsai’s ever present sound design reverberates with muffled womb-like echoes, her cultural quotations slipping easily into experimental noise art. Both performances are intriguing separately, yet without striking a sensitive balance, they remain separate.
The work of a young artist, Lin’s monologue ultimately becomes too self-involved, distancing us with unresolved filial grief. Nonetheless As-If Productions are minting a nuanced vocabulary of performance.

Let us reserve the qualities of Nectar mattress for a minute. The bed mattress includes a danger free trial of 365 nights. That is one entire year of trial for each customer. This is unheard of. The majority of brand names offer up to a hundred nights of trial. Even then, numerous get into a sort of a dispute or tussle throughout the returns. Nectar uses totally free shipping and inconvenience free returns for a year. Then there is the life time warranty. You would get 10 years and that too limited warranty on the majority of mattresses. Some brands will be a little generous and will use you twenty years limited warranty. Compare that with the life time guarantee of Nectar and you would get one apparent reason that it is selling so well. Nectar mattress is also amongst the most fairly priced today. It is numerous dollars more affordable than many brand names and one doesn’t even have to think about the brands that charge 3 thousand for a full size or queen size bed mattress.
Nectar mattress is gentle yet firm, bouncy yet there is a small sink in and it has optimal assistance with unequaled comfort. The product is an outcome of 3 years of advancement, 10 thousand client tests and reflection of several products to guarantee the most safe, healthiest and most long lasting as well as comfortable components go into the dish for a completely satiating sleep. Nectar bed mattress is hypoallergenic. Nectar mattress has a tencel cooling cover that promotes air circulation. It is resistant to vermins and facilitates heat wicking. The gel memory foam is accountable for even circulation of weight, helping with pressure relief. Sleepers will not feel any pressure point and will sleep peacefully. The breathing base layer is just as stable as it is practical to enhance the contouring. Without sufficient support and stability, the whole bed mattress will lose its comfort, firmness, bounce and coolness.
Nectar uses a layer of quilted gel memory foam, a layer of adaptive hi core memory foam, CertiPUR Certified materials that do not include mercury or lead, TDCPP or PBDEs or any compound that triggers ozone deficiency. Nectar bed mattress also has Oeko-TeX certification for the tencel natural fiber cover. The four layers of foam supply the best strength, stability, comfort, firmness and pressure relief for each sleeper.
Nectar Mattress is available in the basic size sizes. The Twin weighs 45 pounds, Twin XL weighs 48 pounds, Full weighs 68 pounds, Queen weighs 74 lbs, King weighs 89 lbs and California King weighs 89 pounds. Nectar is amongst the lighter bed mattress in spite of being eleven inches thick. Nectar mattress works completely with box spring beds, queen bases, standard frames, adjustable bases, flooring or platform and any other fancy bed. The Twin size sells for $500, Twin XL sells for $550, Full is $700, Queen is $795, King is $900 and California King is $900. These rates can go down by more than a hundred dollars with direct main discount rate or with coupons.
Among the typical Nectar bed mattress problems or rather issue highlighted by some people is where is Nectar mattress made? Nectar bed mattress is developed in the US. It is put together in the United States. However it is produced in China. This is quite like the Apple products. Lots of critics and professionals have actually highlighted that although the mattress is manufactured in China that makes little difference as numerous items sold in the US are actually made in the Asian production center. Some consumers and a few critics have highlighted how Nectar is a relatively new company and thus does not have the sort of reliability or track record as some other brand names that have been around longer. This too is not actually a review but an attempt to change the focus from the attributes of the mattress and how well it is offering with clients being absolutely satiated.
One of the rather unfounded Nectar bed mattress problems has actually been the absence of Nectar bed mattress client service. Some individuals cite how they might not find the Nectar mattress contact number while it is plainly pointed out on the contact page of the official site. You can call 0344 811 0811 on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends or vacations from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is not a toll free number though and regional rates will apply depending upon the service provider. There is likewise a multipronged technique to Nectar bed mattress customer support. You might call or start a live chat. You can reach out for accessible assistance or tweet and get a reaction. You can utilize the knowledgebase offered in the FAQ area.

A reformulated proposal about water at Pilgrim’s Pride asks it to report by December “on how the company is responding to increasing regulatory, public and competitive pressure to significantly reduce water pollution from the company’s owned facilities; facilities under contract; and suppliers.” Proposals with the same thrust earned 6.6 percent in 2018 and 14.7 percent in 2017. The proposal makes clear its concern is about water pollution from the company’s chicken production plants; it lists a number of fines levied against the company for recent violations.
Two resolutions have been filed but only one is now pending. One to DTE Energy repeated a proposal from last year that earned 5.8 percent, asking for an independent analysis about costs for closing the company’s Fermi 2 nuclear plant. But it was filed too late and has been omitted.

The Cabot is back. A North Shore treasure, the 1920 historic theater was closed and its future unknown until a group of local visionaries found a way to purchase the building and revive performances in 2014.
The initiative to save the theater, and initial performances and events, enjoyed widespread and enthusiastic community support. Under the leadership of a new executive director and dedicated Board, much-needed improvements to the physical structure and expanding organizational capacity began.
In order to fully realize the potential of this extraordinary moment in time, The Cabot needed new visual and verbal tools that reflected its promise in image and action and could be used to create alignment around a shared vision for the future, address the immediate development need and, critically, create momentum and energy to meet its fundraising goals.
Minelli, Inc. worked with key stakeholders and leaders to articulate a strong brand and bring that brand to life, highlighting the Cabot Theater’s timeless beauty and transcendent experiences that evoke the power of memory, creating food for the soul and nourishment for the future.

Please post the dxdiag.exe file of your computer. Follow these instructions (link). It will tell us if your computer is capable of working with this program successfully.
What are you watching the DVD with? Can you try it on a different player?
Windows Media Player. Tried DivX Player and it seemed a little better. I got a funny feeling it's my video Radeon 5700.
What if you play your DVD on a set-top player? 1) does it play? 2) does it flicker?
Tried it on our DVD today. Same results. It plays but flickers. Transitions between pictures are bad too. My friend seems to think it's my DVD writer.
-Use a middle burn speed. Since your burner is adjusted to burn from its slowest to its fastest speed, aim for the middle of the speed envelope.
Program defaults to Hardware Rendering. In the past that has produced problems in scenes with camera movement.
Might want to try Software Render - in MyDVD, Tool - Options - Render.
OK thanks, I'm using Maxell DVDs, and am doing all that other stuff. We have also replaced the DVD burner. Same problem.
PS: When rendering the video it is perfect. NOTE: Is it possible the DVDs are too old (Over one year old).
If you mean it looks fine in the preview window as it's rendering, I'll suggest that that means almost nothing.
Hopefully, you're rendering to either a folder set, or a .ISO file first, before writing your DVD? If so, you can preview your rendering before writing to a disc, that way you'll know if the problem is with the disc/burner, or with the rendering itself. My guess is that the problem is with the rendering, since the disc actually plays.
Is it possible the DVDs are too old (Over one year old).
I have Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden disc's over ten years old that are still good never used.
The key is storage, air conditioned and heated home (humidity kept low), no direct sunlight (I keep mine in a dark closet).
Once I render ISO...How do I watch the rendered ISO slideshow before burning to disc? ?
Or, if you have the free VLC player installed, you can open the .ISO file directly with VLC.
Never knew VLC played Blu-ray iso file?
He said DVD in his first post, as does the rest of the thread, not Blu-ray. Not sure if VLC supports Blu-Ray ISO. I just tried, and it didn't do well with an AVCHD .iso file. VLC after 2.0 supports Blu-Ray playback, according to what I've found on-line.
It's never worked for me even with the two files, Keys Database and AACS Dynamic Library.
I will stick with VirtualCloneDrive.
I just dragged a MyDVD folder onto VLC, and it started playing the video without any problems. Also version 2.21 (Weatherwax). I'm not certain if it's an AVCHD folder, or a BR folder.
But again, the discussion has been DVD, not Blu-Ray, unless Smokytoo comes back to tell us otherwise.
Hi again. OK, tried everything, including changing to Software Rendering, Still the same. Also downloaded VLC (works great) but it still flickers while watching it on VLC too. I'm lost.
So, if it's flickering with the video before putting it to a disc, then the problem is somewhere in the rendering process. Since you say it flickers when you're doing a pan and zoom, then I'm guessing you're creating a slide show type video? Using still photos? What are the average dimensions (in pixels) of the photos you're using?
Yes, that's correct. Measurements in pixels would be 3648 X 2056. Another thing I think I forgot to mention. When I click on completed MYDVD Project, MYDVD crashes. (NOTE: I don't have Roxio open when I do this. When I have MYDVD open, and I go to open a completed project, it opens OK, I just have to redo the background.
Do ALL transitions and pan/zoom effects flicker? I don't really have any great ideas of what might be going wrong.
Are you doing your project in 4:3 or Widescreen format?
Could you try a very short test, with only 3 or 4 pictures? Take each of those pictures, and resample them to 50% of their original size (work on a copy of the original), and use those reduced size pictures in your test. Do your pan and zoom, and a transition, and see if that makes any difference after you render it? In MyDVD, you can select, the "DVD, No Menu" project to avoid any extra work there.
My thinking is that by reducing the size of the image, you'll reduce the processing needed to render your video. With software rendering selected, I really don't think it should make a difference, but it should be a quick test.
When I have MYDVD open, and I go to open a completed project, it opens OK, I just have to redo the background.
Do you mean edit a existing production in Videowave?
That is in Videowave too not My DVD!
You're correct, that's in Videowave, which is where one does pan and zoom, and transitions, which is where he is getting flickering. I wasn't addressing the MyDVD issue.
I wasn't addressing the MyDVD issue.
It's hard to follow smokytoo when he says My DVD when it's Videowave he is editing in!
With all the wrong application naming I'm not sure he has a My DVD issue?
Yep, you're right about editing in videowave. But, everything that I talked about is/was happening when I played it in MYDVD. I reduce the size of all pics to 640 X 360. redid all Pan & Zooms to my likeings. Then watched the video on MYDVD and looked perfect. Though we had fixed it. Then I went the VLC to look at the ISO image to see how it looked there. Same crap, the two moving menus, at the beginning and end of the video, jerk and jump. Pan and Zoom was much better.

Right in the heart of Eyre Peninsula, Lock is a small rural hub servicing a flourishing farming community.
The town was named after Corporal Albert Lock, a local landholder killed in action in Belgium in 1917 - and the local museum commemorates the sacrifices of war and the district's rich farming heritage. Visit the Museum's Facebook page for updates on the Museum - Lock Museum Facebook Page.
Lock has an abundance of sports facilities and all the friendly accommodation and shopping you'd expect from a small country town.
Hambidge Wilderness Protection Area is approximately 25,400 ha of mallee country. Prominent hill (143 m high) is accessible via a track from the south offering a wide view over the park. There are conservation areas around the park where mallee fowls can be seen along roadsides. Hincks Wilderness Protection Area is approximately 66,300 ha. This park has slightly different flora to Hambidge. Both parks are accessible from Lock as is Bascombe Well Conservation Park where you can discover many ruins and excellent wildflower displays between June and August.
Apex Park has barbecue facilities, and Pioneer Park has established native trees.
The museum displays a variety of war, farming and housing equipment along with photos.

Mastery of the courtroom wasn't all that Alsup brought to the Oracle v. Google trial. He also showed mastery of the subject matter, more than enough to keep the lawyers and witnesses on their toes.
For several weeks, U.S. District Judge William Alsup showed that he was the smartest person in the courtroom as high-priced lawyers for Google and Oracle pleaded their cases. On Thursday afternoon, he basically slammed the door in Oracle's face, explaining in a 41-page ruling that the 37 Java APIs used in Google's Android platform do not fall under U.S. copyright laws. The ruling on APIs followed a jury verdict on May 23 that absolved Google of violating two Oracle patents.
Oracle was asking for more than $1 billion in damages, but in the end the jury found that Google only guilty of copying nine lines of rangeCheck code in the Timsort.java file, which one expert witness said a high school kid could have written. At this point, Google is on the hook for just statutory damages, with a maximum of $150,000.
Mastery of the courtroom wasn't all that the 67-year-old Alsup brought to the trial. He also demonstrated mastery of the complicated subject matter, more than enough to keep the army of lawyers from both sides and the witnesses on their toes.
On many days, the San Francisco courtroom where he presided was more like a computer science classroom. Alsup acknowledged during the trial that he had learned about Java coding to better prepare for the case, and it showed. On a daily basis, he would deftly query the lawyers and expert witnesses on the structure, sequence, and organizations of APIs to assist the jury in understanding the key facets of the copyright phase of the trial.
In one episode, Oracle's star lawyer, David Boies, who bested Bill Gates in U.S. v. Microsoft case and represented Vice President Al Gore in Bush v. Gore in front of the Supreme Court, was arguing that Google copied the nine lines of rangeCheck code to accelerate development to gain faster entry into the mobile phone market.
Alsup told Boies, "I have done, and still do, a significant amount of programming in other languages. I've written blocks of code like rangeCheck a hundred times before. I could do it, you could do it. The idea that someone would copy that when they could do it themselves just as fast, it was an accident. There's no way you could say that was speeding them along to the marketplace. You're one of the best lawyers in America --how could you even make that kind of argument?"
Oracle plans to appeal Alsup's ruling. The company faces an uphill battle given the judge's ruling is rich in context, with detailed deconstructions of the Java language and APIs, as well as the expected legal citations and examples. It will likely serve as a textbook for future cases involving intellectual property rights and computer programming languages.

Outdoor restaurant looking over the Hudson River.
Perfect for any Summer Evening drink or dinner.
Available for parties of 20 - 500.
Excellent place! Great food, great service and management. Such a wonderful addition to the park. Casual place to bring the kids, relax with your love, meet up to start new love or kick it for a girls afternoon. And a beautiful view to top it off! PLEASE come back next summer!
We love this place! As parents of a newborn, we love that it is baby-friendly, kid-friendly and dog-friendly, and in our neighborhood. We had limited options with a newborn, because we couldn't go to indoor places which are loud and crowded, so this was perfect.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices. I stopped by for a drink late Thursday afternoon. I sat at the downstairs bar with my dogs. Everyone was super friendly and I love that this place is dog-friendly too. A great place for drinks and food outside.
Great extension of the main restaurant on w106 and Amsterdam. This location in riverside park is amazing along with great food and is very pet friendly!
My husband and I are regulars and frequently enjoys drinks and grub after a stop at the dog park. We just love the laid back vibe and easy food. So much so, that we just had my son's 1st birthday party on the lower level this past weekend, unsure of what to expect given we were hosting 40 people! I am happy to say that the Ellington exceeded all of our expectations!!

Paneer cutlet without potato using Instant Poha mix from Mother's recipe is my second entry for Mother’s Recipe Innovative Cooking Challenge Contest. I used their Instant Poha Mix/Aval upma mix for making this cutlet recipe and it turned out awesome. Actually speaking, I wanted to try Paneer cutlet Recipe without Aloo/Potato for a long time.I am so happy i was able to achieve it with the help of this poha mix. Like potato, poha (rice flakes) is also one of the best binding agents for cutlet. As I have followed this in my Mc Donald’s burger recipe, I tried this cutlet recipe using Instant Poha mix very confidently. As I expected, the result was great! My daughter and My better half loved it to the core.With crispy exterior and soft interior, it was just perfect. As the poha mix had all the seasoning ingredients, it made my job simple. I just cooked the mix adding spice powders, mashed paneer and made these cutlets quickly and easily. Its an yummy evening snack recipe for kids and that too without potatoes. Thanks to Mother’s Recipe for giving this opportunity to Indian Food Bloggers and make us think different and innovative through this Challenge. Here I have deep fried the cutlets.You can go for shallow frying in a pan and make it as a low calorie snack.You can also opt for baking and make it even more healthy without oil. I have discussed baking method too. For variations, you can add boiled corn kernels and mixed vegetables too.Ok, lets see how to make this paneer cutlet recipe using Instant Poha Mix.
Check out my first entry for this contest : Eggless Milk Powder Cake recipe using Instant Payasam Mix.
Click on this links to know more about Mother’s Recipe products.
Take the paneer & grate it using a fine grater or mash/crumble it well using your hands.Set aside.
Heat oil in a kadai and saute the finely chopped onions.Add the g&g paste and saute till its raw smell leaves completely.
Now add 2 cups( 400 ml) of water with little salt( the mix had salt in it.So use less) and allow it to boil.When it comes to boil,add the poha mix ( Rice flakes mix).Mix well & cover cook it for 8-10 minutes in medium flame.Mix it once in the middle.Poha will be cooked well & becomes mushy.All the water will be absorbed. If you are not using poha mix, you can add plain poha soaked in water for 20 minutes.
Now add the grated paneer & mix well.Add turmeric powder,red chilli pwd,dhania pwd,garam masala powder & amchoor powder.Mix well,add maida,mix well.Let the mixture become a whole mass like dough.Switch off the flame.Lastly add the finely chopped coriander and mint leaves.Mix well.Check for salt.Squeeze in little lemon juice and allow the cutlet mixture to cool down.
Take a medium orange sized ball from the cutlet mixture and pat it.Dip it in corn flour batter & then in bread crumbs.Do this twice to get a super crispy exterior.
Heat oil to deep fry or shallow fry and drop the cutlets.Fry them till golden brown by flipping it whenever needed.Remove & drain it in a tissue.Serve with ketchup/tomato sauce.
For baking,make the cutlet mixture as mentioned above.Dip it in corn flour batter,then in powdered corn flakes & finally in bread crumbs.Repeat it twice.Now preheat the oven in 200c and bake the cutlets in 200c,convection mode for 10-15 minutes in one side.Flip it and again bake them for another 10-15 minutes.Remove & serve hot.
To use plain poha/Aval/Rice flakes, take 1 cup of poha ( thick rice flakes),wash & soak it for 20 minutes till it turns soft.Add cumin seeds while sauting onions & proceed as mentioned above.
Enjoy this yummy paneer cutlets with Tea !
These Paneer Cutlets are tempting me so much...the outside looks so crispy with lovely golden brown color..
delicious looking cutlets... the poha would give more body to them, right?
Congratulations for being selected as the top blog.

It's really tempting me so much! It looks so crispy!
why do not you think about this that we westerners are also making indian cusine and that we do not understand ingridients in your language.what is poha for example?

448?–385? b.c., Athenian comic dramatist.
It is the Aristophanic method that differs so greatly from that of most modern satirists.
It is now clear that Aristophanic comedy is in the history of art unique—the product of peculiar and unrepeated circumstances.
Thus their rivalry, such as it was, was entirely without animosity, and in no way disturbed the harmony of the Aristophanic party.
There is, I fear, an infinite truth in this Aristophanic judgment applied to our modern cloud-worship.
The invitation was cordially accepted, and in the meantime considerable progress had been made in the Aristophanic comedy.
An ancient Greek dramatist, the author of such comedies as The Clouds and Lysistrata.

Alyssa Healy: ‘Cultural environment’ behind..
New South Wales Breakers star Alyssa Healy says a strong “cultural environment” is the secret behind the club qualifying for its’ 20th WNCL title in 23 years this weekend.
The Breakers are primed to continue their run of dominance after finishing on top on the WNCL ladder and will take on the Queensland Fire in the final at North Sydney Oval – in what will be their 23rd straight final appearance since the competition began in 1996.
It’s a stunning record unlikely to be matched by any other sporting team and a record which puts the Breakers up there with the famous St George team which won 11 premierships in a row and the New England Patriots – who added another Super Bowl to their collection earlier this week.
Healy says it’s been an amazing run to be apart of.
“It’s a ridiculous stat that we’ve managed to achieve and it’s something that the Breakers and Cricket NSW are really proud of,” Healy said.
Healy has been a rock for the sky blues at the top of the batting order scoring 203 runs at an average of 50.75 with a whopping strike rate of over 120 in four matches.
The 28-year-old says the Breakers ‘know how to win’ attitude is why they have been so successful.
“I think we’ve always had a lot of talent in this state and I think that’s an obvious one,” Healy said.
“But it comes down to the cultural environment we have in this state and we’re blessed in the under age programs for New South Wales.
“These kids are used to winning, they go out there and fight and they know how to win games of cricket and for them to go into a Breakers side when they’re ready to go and highly skilled that’s the starter.
“But then to know how to win games and to know when they’re in high pressure situations they can fight and get themselves out of those situations and win games of cricket is something you can’t teach.
It will also be a sombre occasion for the Breakers with fellow superstar Ellyse Perry to play her last game for NSW after signing with Victoria next season.
Victoria and South Australia are the only other teams who have won the WNCL – meaning the Queensland Fire will be gunning for their first title.

Y por último, aquí tenéis el look del día. Quería ponerme los botines blancos de Gloria Ortiz así que opte por unos vaqueros blancos para que no llamasen mucho la atención, camisa de cuadros (de mi hermano, me encanta hurgar en su armario de vez en cuando) Springfield y chaqueta de Lasserre. Nunca sé con qué combinar unos zapatos blancos, me da la sensación de que se ven demasiado con cualquier cosa y más ahora en invierno. Alguna idea??
“A magic evening” could be the description of my last Friday’s plan. I went to see “SOMETHING PERSONAL” show, by the magician Juan Paños, to raise money for KAIROS. I think I was more excited than the children.
In another post I would like to tell you more about KAIROS. Here you have his facebook page so you can take a look if you want.
My outfit: I wanted to wear my Gloria Ortiz white ankle boots, so I decided to wear white jeans too, Springfield plaid shirt of my brother and Lasserre jacket. I never know how to wear white shoes now in winter. Some advice? Hope you like it!

Whatever your perspective or experience, prayer is so much more. God wants to do so much more. As you listen to the sermons and think about your perspective and experience, we've provided a couple things to help you.
Prayer Discussion Guide - Each week we are creating a Discussion Guide for small groups, which anyone can use to think more deeply about the ideas in the sermon. It includes a summary of the message, questions for thought and discussion, the prayer challenge for the week, and prayer suggestions. Use it on your own, or talk about it with your spouse, family, or friends.
Prayer Worship Playlist - We have also compiled a playlist with worship songs we think will help you to seek the awe of praise and the intimacy of drawing close to God.
Here's the link to the worship playlist. Like our previous playlist created for Christmas, it will take you to Spotify, where you can create an account if you don't already have one - it's free and easy to do!

After a few weeks of planning, everything started up smoothly for DesignMeets Decades of Design — and some extra-nice March weather allowed us to enjoy the warm evening conversation outside on the Hard Rock patio. Around 60 people attended this mid-week event with attendees from a range of industries from software and marketing to communication and other design types.
Tero Hollo started the evening with a longish but engaging revelation of how old memes, ideas and designs periodically resurface and mutate into today’s ideas. We ended his period with a brief discussion and few points about being aware and keeping an eye out for opportunities to recycle nostalgic ideas to entertain and reach your audience.
Thanks for great organization, the opportunity to be part of a group of amazing, talented speakers and for the chance to share with the Ottawa community. The future looks brighter because of events like DesignMeets where sharing brings more inspiration, solutions and opportunities!
Evening anchor Patty Vargas and official photographer for the event, capped the night recapping her journey that helped create key online photography business models and resources by recognizing and embracing change. Her story of how an Ottawa upstart changed the world of online stock photography by finding their own unique business model shows us how important it is to think differently.
After the presentations wrapped, almost half of us remained to down a few more pints and to conspire on the next event — always an exciting way to end the night! We discussed the new social thinkspace in Ottawa, Hub Ottawa, and opportunities for growing the design community within our small town. Overall a positive and engaging evening with nuggets of insights and plenty of opportunity for further exploration, we’ll work with our key DesignMeets team and our newest patriots to set another session soon.
I see design becoming more recognized as an essential component in how we do things. Businesses are beginning to really see the value design can bring to the table and this will only continue to increase. I also see design diffusing into less specialized fields whereby everyone can contribute to design. The role of the designer may change from an actor to more of a facilitator, guiding collective action through a process of researching, understanding, interpreting and re-interpreting problems and opportunities, and generating, realizing and developing design solutions.
Towards a much more participatory future… As technology is emerging to facilitate collaboration like never before, design will change to reflect that. Design will evolve from a practice of a handful of people cooped up in an office towards a process that involves communities, populations, and goes straight to the source of the challenges it’s trying to address. Exciting times lie ahead!
Thanks to everyone for a good night! Check out more photos of the event on flickr.

With the tendering scheme, first started in 2013, Wind Power in Turkey entered a new era. By 2017, this scheme has reached its cruising speed.
Over the last few years, thousands of measurement campaigns were conducted all around Turkey, fuelling prefeasibility studies and financial models, and creating better understanding of the business case for developers and investors. The professionalization of the sector attracts the interest of new international wind energy players, and accelerates the developments in wind and solar even further.
3E’s local expert team – based in Istanbul – was present from the start and supports leading companies such as Limak, Akfen and EnerjiSA in their development based on a reliable assessment on the technical and financing risks of their wind projects.
We are pleased to share our experiences at the Turkish Wind Energy Congress (TUREK) on November 1st and 2nd in Ankara.
3E will be present at booth no. 11.

Living in Noosa I am lucky enough to have access to a wide range of interesting and innovative local products. One such product is Lime Salt, made by Suncoast Limes. This totally natural product is made using the highest quality Australian sea salt and limes grown on the Suncoast Lime orchard at Tandur, about 40 minutes west of Noosa. No additives whatsoever are used in this product, which always gets a big tick from me.
In the early hours of Sunday mornings long before most of us are out of bed, there’s a buzz of activity at the AFL carpark on Weyba Road Noosaville, where 75 or so local farmers, growers and producers are busily setting up their stalls in preparation for the weekly Noosa Farmers Market.
For anyone that loves chocolate (and let’s face it, that’s most of us), the best chocolate to be found in Noosa is without doubt at Cocoa Chocolat. Offering an exquisite selection of hand-crafted chocolates and truffles made from the very finest ingredients, a visit to their shop on Hastings Street or their factory and shop at Eumundi is not to be missed.

The Short SA.6 Sealand was a light, commercial amphibian aircraft for 5-7 passengers, designed for the general overseas market in territories with suitable water access and/or runways. It could take off from and land on rivers, lakes and sheltered bays or prepared runways. It was flown by either a single pilot or a pilot and navigator and saw service with the Indian Navy and in many other parts of the world, including Borneo, East Bengal, Norway and Venezuela.
Two variants were produced, the SA.6 Sealand I and the SB.7 Sealand III, an extended version with longer wings, a deeper rudder and a strengthened hull.
The SB.2 Sealand II was planned as a second prototype but was never completed as such, becoming the first of the batch of 4 pre-production aircraft G-AKLM to G-AKLP.
The Sealand was a high wing cantilever monoplane of all-metal construction with a flying boat hull and both underwing floats and a standard tail-wheel undercarriage; the two main wheels retracted into recesses in the hull below the wings, while the tailwheel retracted behind the hull's planing bottom.
Orthographic drawings (of not very high quality) of the Sealand can be seen online here.
The prototype Sealand was launched on 19 January 1948 and flew 3 days later from the waters of Belfast Lough, piloted by Shorts' Chief Test Pilot, Harold Piper. Four pre-production aircraft were built, the first of which was retained by Shorts for demonstration purposes (eventually crashing in fog while on a sales tour of Norway, killing both the pilot and the sales representative). The other three were eventually sold to overseas operators in Norway and Borneo. A further ten Sealands were built and sold to a variety of small operators, including one (G-AKLW, later SU-AHY) equipped as an "air yacht" with luxurious fittings for a private client in Egypt and given the name Nadia.
The Indian Navy ordered 10 Sealands in 1952 to an enhanced specification, which included dual controls, increased fuel capacity and uprated engines. All ten aircraft were delivered between January and October, 1953. The last Indian Navy Sealand was taken out of service 12 years later; one aircraft is on display at the Indian National Aviation Museum.
A second Sealand exists at the Air Museum in Belgrade, which is claimed to have been registered originally as G-AKLF. This registration was not, however, assigned to a Sealand; this aircraft is also said to have borne the local registration YU-CFK, which indicates that it was in fact the aircraft with the Shorts manufacturing number SH.1567, i.e. G-AKLS.
A third, G-AKLW (originally bought by the wealthy Egyptian client mentioned above) is under rebuild (2008) at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra, Holywood, Northern Ireland.
Shorts retained the first prototype (G-AIVX) for company use, often using it without the wing-floats and struts to increase its payload. It was finally scrapped it when its Certificate of Airworthiness expired in April 1955.

With the right attitude, your work can be your worship to the Lord.
Many people dread their work. If you’re one of them, try changing your attitude toward your work! God’s eyes fall on the work of our hands. One stay-at-home-mom keeps this sign over her sink: “Divine tasks performed here, daily.” Indeed, work can be worship.
Peter wrote, “You are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God.” (1 Peter 2:9). So, let every detail in your life—your words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus. (Colossians 3:17). You don’t drive to an office, you drive to a sanctuary. You don’t attend a school, you attend a temple. You may not wear a clerical collar, but you could, because your work is God’s pulpit!

4.5 How does it work?
4.5.1 Why not use constraints?
4.5.2 What about double transformations?
Save “ebLabs_groupMoveTool.py” to your maya scripts folder.
Add the following command and icon to a python hotkey (or shelf button).
(1). Select your objects. Select one or more control(s)/object(s) in your scene.
(2). Activate Tool Assign the Group Move Tool command to a hotkey, or even a shelf button.
(3). Move/Rotate/Scale This is the main function of the tool. A temporary control is created, it appears as a bounding box around the objects you selected. When you move/scale/rotate this Group Move Node, it will update the all of the objects that are connected to it. For more technical users, please see the more detailed description below.
(4). Finish Up When you are finished using the Group Move Tool, simply click in your viewport to clear the selection, this will reselect all of your objects/control(s).
Setting Keys If you already have keys on your controls, keys will be set using autokey, ie when changes are made. If you haven’t added any keys to your objects then none will be added.
Change/Move Pivots Hit the ‘insert’ key to move the pivot anywhere you’d like. Now any rotation/scale will happen from this point.
Scrub the timeline Changing the current time will update the Group Move Tool so you can keep working. There is a ‘Key Reference’ channel that will give you a visual indicator of where your keyframes are.
Try Scale Scaling will actually contract/expand the position of all the objects connected to the Group Move Tool towards the pivot. The Group Move Tool only affects position and rotation, but this is a handy way to use the scale in a different way.
Translate X/Y/Z Reset this back to zero and the Group Move Node will go back to where it started.
Rotate X/Y/Z Reset this back to zero and the Group Move Node will go back to where it started.
Scale X/Y/Z The Group Move Tool wont scale your objects, but you can use scale to expand/contract the positions of all the connected objects from the pivot point.
Key Reference Check out the timeline to see the keyframes from all of the objects connected to the Group Move Node. This is just for your reference, and has no effect on anything.
Constraints add extra nodes and connections to the objects in your scene. This is something I wanted to avoid. With the Group Move Tool, all of the updates are handled by script jobs in the background. After you are finished with the tool, there is no remaining ‘garbage’ attached to your character. Clean, simple and easy to use.
The Group Move Tool is optimized to check through and take into account hierarchies and dependencies. On top of this, all positions are double checked that they are accurate. This all gets calculated on the fly and is generally quite fast.
Great tool, but more important great support! TNX Eric!
Group Move Tool does exactly what you want, allowing you to move multiple controls or objects relative to each other in a fast and intuitive way, eliminating time wasting creating unnecessary groups and locators.
This tool is an absolute pleasure to use and has literally saved me days of work.
awesome tool, I add 4 stars only because there is sometime a error message when I use the picker to select controls of the character.
And when I select manualy in the scene it work. And sometimes the temporary global control do not appear, so I repead the selection and he didn’t work anymore. Have to take the previous saved file to do it correctly. Don’t know why.
But when it works it save me so much time XD Thanks for this tool !

Ottawa, March 14, 2018 – The first national social finance project of its kind in Canada has completed its final round of essential skills training with important results for Canadians. All in all, 88% of the unemployed Canadians who received training as part of the Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) Essential Skills Social Finance (ESSF) pilot, achieved measurable skills improvements.
The ESSF pilot marked the Government of Canada’s first time testing elements of a social impact bond (SIB). Upfront capital for the training program was raised from private investors – Conexus Credit Union, the Catherine Donnelly Foundation, and Dave and Pamela Richardson and Family.
Based on the percentage of participants who achieved a 25-point skill gain at the end of the training, investors are receiving 96% of their original investment. Participants will be tested again, 12 months after the last evaluation, and the results of these tests could provide additional returns for the investors who already view their involvement as a successful experience.
The success of this outcome-based public-private partnership approach marks an important step for the Government of Canada, as well as impact investors, not-for-profit organizations and other governments seeking to develop programs with measurable social impact for Canada’s most vulnerable populations.
Douglas College, Saskatchewan Polytechnic and Confederation Colleges offered the training for the ESSF pilot, helping participants – many of whom had been unemployed for some time and faced multiple barriers such as poverty, mental health, limited literacy skills, limited work experience and isolation – access upskilling to build the foundations needed to succeed in the labour market. Providing this sort of essential skills training is a critical part of the mandate of colleges and institutes.
The ESSF pilot training was based on Douglas College’s Foundations Workplace Essential Skills Program, and included additional services targeted to meet the needs of the participants such as food and nutrition sessions, work placements or Toastmasters workshops. The pilot was funded by the Government of Canada’s Adult Learning, Literacy and Essential Skills Program.

Music soothes the savage photographer?
I was thinking about how I edit and what I listen to when I am editing and realised that I always have to have music on and that I edit/work differently depending on what music I'm listening to... This comes as no surprise I guess, but It did make me wonder "DO other photographers listen to music while working, what do they listen to?"
One very fun example was this Spotify playlist that our friend Renee Robyn shared a little while back (I'm listening to it now...) which is largely pretty upbeat.
My question to you, dear reader, is "do you listen to music while you shoot/edit/work and what is it that you listen to?" share a link to your tunes in the comments, or link a Youtube video if you like?

Last week, I had the chance to learn about LungoJS. Basically, I am a Rhomobile Developer. So I tried to implement Rhomobile app with LungoJS framwork. I would like to share my experiences with you.
Before you start to implement the application, you need to know the prototype of LungoJS which helps to implement LungoJS framwork.
Here I used some basic elements that is section, header, article, aside and footer. Section is a view of our application which contains header, article and footer.
I used aside elements to view the menu list page. Aside gives us a lateral area which will appear depending on the device (tablet) or hidden (mobile). I created the aside reference link using “data-view-aside=”menu” attribute. I already loaded menu page using “load Sync resources on init” in the layout.erb. So I have just given the reference of aside id. When clicking then menu icon, it will go to the menu.html page.
Here, I listed the menu-titles inside the article elements. if you wish to scroll the page, add scroll class on article element. I loaded the list of menu-title resources asynchronously. I set resources using “data-async” attributes and described the type of element where we are going to navigate to (section, article or aside) using “data-view-*” attributes. Now when clicking “Scan Product” on the menu list, it will navigate to scan_product.html.
After that I pasted the dependencies js files inside the body tag in the layout.erb.
Looks very nice. The responsiveness is much better than what jQueryUI offers. Great post!

Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, is exhibiting at MD&M West 2019 and displaying medical devices and components made of MEVOPUR polymer materials formulated to improve laser-welding performance.
The medical design and manufacturing tradeshow is taking place between 5 and 7 February in Anaheim, California.
"Because medical devices are frequently made of transparent or translucent materials, the polymer’s ability to absorb the laser energy often needs to be enhanced using additives."
Clariant has offered such additives for many years, and in 2016 began using them in MEVOPUR masterbatches and compounds used in laser-marking applications.
Welding presents additional challenges because laser marking involves only one polymer, while laser welding involves two ― one that is transparent to the laser energy and the other absorbing energy to create the weld. The process is further complicated by any pigments or fillers, which can change the way the plastic reacts to the laser.
Another important factor in achieving a good weld is the even distribution of the additive throughout the polymer matrix of the final part. In some cases, a concentrate or masterbatch can be dosed at the injection moulding machine, which mixes it sufficiently into the polymer melt. These machines are not always ideal for dispersing the concentrate into the host polymer. In some applications, the machine, the material or the part design may cause inconsistent distribution and lead to unreliable welding.
Clariant solves this by offering compounds where the job of distribution of the laser-absorbing additive is performed on highly efficient compounding lines. The injection moulder then can use this all-in-one material without further dilution.
Like all MEVOPUR masterbatch concentrates and finished compounds, the new laser-friendly materials are manufactured at a dedicated facility in Lewiston Maine, and at two other sites in Malmo, Sweden, and Singapore.

NHS Birmingham East and North and partners BaS LIFT Co and Prime plc have successfully reached financial close on the major new £15m Washwood Heath Health and Wellbeing Centre, which incorporates new funding to significantly increase GP provision in this under doctored area in east Birmingham.
The new three storey 3,920 m2 centre, designed by One Creative Environments, will bring together a wide range of services under one roof to meet the needs of a 15,000 strong patient population. Of that total 6,000 new patients will be served by additional GP services being provided by funding from the government’s Equitable Access to Primary Medical Care (EAPMC) programme, which aims to increase provision in under doctored areas. Located just off the Alum Rock Road, a main arterial route through Washwood Heath, the centre will also offer physiotherapy, pain management, orthopaedic triage, diagnostic and urgent care services to a broader patient population of 62,000 people based in the surrounding communities of Saltley and Hodge Hill.
NHS Birmingham East and North and their partners have consulted at length with the community and explored a wide range of needs, which has led to the inclusion of other community health and well being services in the development. The new centre will include a community café and a welfare advice centre which will offer information on a range of topics from immigration to employment and housing. The centre will also be open extended hours and over seven days a week.
As well as contributing significantly to community wellbeing, the development will also incorporate a wide range of sustainable solutions, including a ground source heat pump and will also involve the remediation of contaminated land.
Jonathan Tringham, Director of Resources for NHS Birmingham East and North, said; "I am delighted that we will soon be able to start construction on this excellent new facility, which will give the communities in and around Washwood Heath greatly expanded GP, wider health and wellbeing services".?Ann Pursey, Chief Executive of BaS LIFT Co, said "It is excellent to have reached financial close on a project which has the potential to transform patient care in these communities. The additional GP services will greatly increase provision whilst the wider care services will bring so much under one roof to benefit so many."
Richard Cutler, Development Director of Prime plc, added; "A great deal of effort and collaboration has gone into this project behind the scenes, to bring together so many new health and well being service innovations. I think everyone is very proud of what has been achieved to date and we look forward to starting on site in the New Year."

Fontaine Garden Village is located on the South East Coast of Zanzibar in the village of Bwejuu. The place offers 3 bungalows with shared facilities, 3 bungalows and 4 hotel rooms with private bathroom and 1 junior suite. Lunch and dinner are served at request in our “Hot Potatoe” restaurant. The whole place is designed like a small village with separate bungalows for each client. The area that surrounds the bungalows has a tropical beach feeling as it combines the white sand paths with a green garden of colorful flowers and palm trees.
The beach is 150 meters from the place and full of life and local atmosphere – fishermen leaving and coming with the 6 hour tide, women picking up sea weed and digging coconuts in the the ground, cows taking a walk in the sunset.
Fontaine Garden Village is easy to access from Stone Town (45 min drive). A taxi costs around 30 USD. There are also dala dalas (local mini buses) going to Bwejuu regularly.
Definitely a good choice if you like to see the real Zanzibarian lifestyle!
With renovations almost complete, we’re gearing up for our summer bookings. We also felt it was about time to update the website. The new site is also mobile friendly and should work well on all kinds of phones and tablets!
