Basic Information:
In News
- In a 26-page judgment, the Supreme Court throws points out that human rights and the National Human Rights Commission have suffered a slow death at the hands of the government and the State authorities.
- Neglect and stagnation suffered by the NHRC has imperilled human rights in the nation like in fake encounter’ killings of Manipur
Problems faced by NHRC
- The NHRC, which had investigated 20 of these deaths, was stonewalled for years by the authorities.
- It is actually headed by a former Chief Justice of India or judges of the Supreme Court, had declared its own failure and termed itself a “toothless tiger”.
- The intention of the NHRC is to more effectively assist the criminal justice delivery system and avoid any factual controversies while respecting human rights.
- It is not as if the dignity of only living persons needs to be respected. Even the dignity of the dead must be given due respect.
NHRC’s revised guidelines of 2010
- It makes magisterial inquiry into every police encounter death
- The NHRC has to be informed of every encounter death.
- However, these guidelines are given scant respect by the States.
- In many States, human rights commissions are obvious in their absence for years.
Basic Information
National hman rights commission
- It is autonomous body created by an Act of Parliament.
- Headed by a former Chief Justice of India
- Authority to grant interim relief
- Authority to recommend payment of compensation or damages
- The Chairperson and the Members of the Commission are appointed by the President of India, on the recommendations of a Committee consisting of:
- The Prime Minister (chairperson)
- The Home Minister
- The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha
- The Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha
- The Speaker of the Lok Sabha
- The Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha
2. Give data of C-section and normal deliveries: Maneka
What is the issue?
- To combat the alarming rise in caesarean section operations in India, Union Government is considering audit of private hospitals
- They will be asked to display the data of normal and C-section deliveries prominently
Recent step taken by the Women and Child Development (WCD) Ministry
- The Ministry has written to Health Ministery asking that it be made mandatory for private hospitals enrolled with the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) to display the data of C-section and normal deliveries
- The Ministery has further demanded that the Health Ministry direct State governments to conduct periodic audits of private hospitals to ensure unnecessary procedures are not being conducted
Increased cases of C-Section Deliveries
- According to the latest data from the National Family Health Survey 2014-15 (NFHS-4), C-section surgeries have doubled over the last decade across India
- The NFHS-4 data revealed that Telangana has the highest number of C-section deliveries in the country, with 74.9% babies born this way in private hospitals
- Over 40% of the deliveries in Bihar were C-sections, while 58 % of the deliveries in Maharashtra were through C-section procedures
- As per World Health Organization guidelines, 10-15% of deliveries being C-sections is considered appropriate
Basic Information
What are C-Section Deliveries?
- Caesarean section, also known as C-section or caesarean delivery, is the use of surgery to deliver one or more babies
- A caesarean section is often performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby or mother at risk
- This may include obstructed labour, twin pregnancy, high blood pressure in the mother, breech birth, problems with the placenta, umbilical cord or shape of the pelvis, and previous C-section
- A trial of vaginal birth in some of these situations, including after C-section, may be possible
- Some C-sections are also performed upon request
- The World Health Organization recommends that they should be done based on medical need and in many cases they are lifesaving for the mother and baby.
3. Housing For All By 2022: With demand-supply gap shrinking, affordable housing segment set to grow
In News
Demand-Supply gap shrinking
- Affordable housing schemes are on a growth curve in 2017
- Huge demand in housing segments is being met with increasing supply
Present Scenario
- In housing sector, massive demand and massive unsold residential inventory is co-existing
- Why: This is the result of pricing mismatch
Governments Efforts under the ‘Housing for All by 2022’
- The government is collaborating with private builders and developers under a public-private partnership (PPP) model to make ‘Housing for All by 2022’
Other efforts by the government
- The government has provided 39 per cent higher allocations for affordable housing development vis-à-vis FY17 under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)
- It has also extended the Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme to loans of value up to Rs 12 lakh
- Government policies like the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) have infused fresh buyer confidence into the realty sector
- The most important decision by government is that it a has granted infrastructure status to affordable housing
Observation of ICRA
- According to the ICRA, the affordable housing segment in India is set to grow at a faster pace than the rest of the real estate sector
- Also, it will be the key growth driver for the Indian mortgage finance market
Positive things that are coming in the affordable Housing sector
- The segment has lost its “down market” label and become a serious and respectable business sector for developers
- It is a given that the demand-supply gap is huge, but the fact is that it is narrowing visibly for the first time in several decades

Category: ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY
1. Fixing a major piece of the climate puzzle
In News
- Fixing air-conditioning would be the best and more effective solution to climate change
- New research indicates that adding improved efficiency in refrigeration and phasing out fluorinated gases used for cooling, as mandated by international agreement, could eliminate a full degree Celsius of warming by 2100
Air-conditioners and Climate change
- Hydrofluorocarbons account for about 1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it is thousands of times as potent as carbon dioxide and may account for up to 19 percent of emissions by 2050 if their manufacture continues unchecked.
- India to the Philippines to South Africa, air-conditioners are increasingly a must-have item.
- Businesses and homeowners in Asia and Africa are expected to buy about 700 million air-conditioners by 2030, and 1.6 billion by mid -century.
Measures taken
- Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
- The landmark 1987 pact designed to close the hole in the ozone layer by banning ozone-depleting coolants called chlorofluorocarbons/CFCs.
- The amendment reached last year in the capital of Rwanda binds nations to phase out HFCs, avoiding an estimated half degree Celsius of warming by 2100.
Way forward?
- Nations must call for new regulatory policies on manufacturing standards and labeling.
Basic Information
Kigali agreement
- Kigali Amendment which amends the 1987 Montreal Protocol aims to phase out Hydrofluorocarbons by the late 2040s.
- Under Kigali Amendment, in all 197 countries, including India have agreed to a timeline to reduce the use of HFCs by roughly 85% of their baselines by 2045
- The Kigali Agreement for HFCs reduction will be binding on countries from 2019
- It also has provisions for penalties for non-compliance

Detailed Description
Provides FFT and iFFT routines modulo a single-precision prime.
On initialization, it initializes NTL's zz_pContext for this q and computes a 2m-th root of unity r mod q and also r^{-1} mod q. Thereafter this class provides FFT and iFFT routines that converts between time & frequency domains. Some tables are computed the first time that each directions is called, which are then used in subsequent computations.
The "time domain" polynomials are represented as ZZX, which are reduced modulo Phi_m(X). The "frequency domain" are just vectors of integers (vec_long), that store only the evaluation in primitive m-th roots of unity.

A slice of downtown Chicago with the Chicago River winding its way through classic and modern towers of steel
Marina City, Carbide & Carbon, Trump Shiny Blue Tower
- Marina City: 290 North State Street, completed 1964
- Carbide & Carbon: 230 North Michigan Avenue, completed 1929
- Trump Int'l Hotel & Tower: 401 North Wabash Avenue, completed 2009
Marina City is the honeycomb/corncob looking buildings in the middle. In 2014, Nik Wallenda walked
partly blindfolded across a 600 foot high tightrope over the Chicago River and between the two towers.
The Carbide & Carbon Building, lower center with the gold crown, is a shining example of Art Deco architecture.
It is currently home to the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago, with its 37 floors providing nearly 400 guest rooms.
It was designed by the Burnham Brothers, sons of the famed Daniel Burnham,
who played significant roles in the master plans of many cities, including Chicago, and is also the designer of the insanely‑recognizable
Flatiron Building in New York City.
Trump Int'l Hotel & Tower, although unfortunately named, should not be judged by its owner. The building was designed by Adrian Smith of AS+GG, the same
firm responsible for the Jeddah Tower, the 1 km tall building under construction in Saudia Arabia. Trump Tower was originally
announced to be the tallest building in the world, but following 9/11, Trump reduced the height.
Fun facts:
- The album Hotel Foxtrot by the band Wilco features the Marina City towers on its cover.
- The popular myth is that the Carbide & Carbon Building was designed to resemble a dark green champage
bottle with its gold foil at the top.
- To better blend in with its surroundings, the notches in the Trump Tower reflect heights of nearby buildings.

Why metrics are hard (and what to do about it)
July 1, 2018Being metrics driven is a great way to build a software engineering culture that is empowers engineers and rewards for impact, while also helping teams remain aligned with organizational goals. Engineers with the autonomy to pick projects and settle debates using data and metrics are implicitly motivated to work on the most impactful projects. For this culture to work effectively, though, it’s important to pick the right metrics.
Unfortunately, this is surprisingly difficult to do. All metrics are proxies for real progress, and all proxies have inherent flaws and tradeoffs. Improving the process for choosing and iterating on metrics requires that we first understand some of these pitfalls:
Core value proposition is usually hard to measure quantitatively
Metrics that reflect user experience are often focused on variables that are easy to track (e.g., number of clicks to an action, crash counts, response times). However, high-level user satisfaction, utility and overall quality of the experience (e.g. what fraction of my closest real-world friends are on this platform, how many matches in a dating app got into relationships) can be uncorrelated with these variables and may be difficult or impossible to measure.
With popular consumer products it is usually possible to attribute the impact of UX changes on broad areas such as engagement, revenue or utility using techniques like A/B testing, cohort analysis or NPS surveys. However, the vast majority of software does not have the luxury of large, active, and reachable user bases that can be constantly experimented upon or polled for opinions. Tracking user perception via surveys or interviews can also be an unreliable indicator of feature impact; it’s difficult to get longtime users to change their first (or worst) impressions of a system, and ‘anecdata’ can be misleading and skewed towards the loudest users.
It’s tempting to optimize metrics in isolation
Being metrics-driven, by definition, narrows the focus of the organization to the metrics it deems the most important. It is sometimes possible to have projects that improve one metric and have no impact on the rest of the software product, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Software engineering is all about tradeoffs, and focusing on a metric is very likely to produce engineering decisions that trade off other metrics for the one you picked. One way to get around this is to have ‘counter’ metrics that will show you when you’ve gone too far in one direction. For example, when adding features to a product to improve engagement, it may be useful to also track metrics that would suffer if the product became too bloated or complex (e.g., app download size). Unfortunately, having too many metrics can be confusing and make metric design even more resource intensive.
Metrics must be carefully presented
It’s essential to be detail oriented when presenting metrics. Small decisions such as the axis of a graph, the smoothing applied, or the choice to use raw numbers or instead of percentages or rates of change can dramatically impact how people perceive the metric, or measure progress on it. Cognitive biases cause people to look at numbers and charts and walk away with the perception that they understand the real story — after all, numbers don’t lie. The problem is that even if the numbers are real, you are almost always seeing only one thread of a complex story. It takes relevant experience to consider all the other, more complicated questions that a metric does not address.
It can also be tempting to add capabilities to slice and dice metrics to help attribute progress to features. For example, filtering to a subset of users or workloads can make changes to the metric more pronounced. This can be dangerous, since small statistical samples are likely to be noisy and indicate real change even when there is none. It’s almost always the right call to have people with knowledge and expertise to design opinionated and single-purpose dashboards and then trust them to interpret the data accurately.
Flat metrics aren’t sexy
One of the key negative externalities of being metrics focused is that it becomes difficult to recognize engineering that prioritizes quality and good system design upfront. It’s worth considering whether teams are being implicitly incentivized to quickly ship a system that has poor metrics in areas such as performance or reliability and then work to improve those metrics. In some cases this may be the right choice, but in others you might prefer that teams are slower or more thoughtful and ship a higher quality product or feature in one go.
The Occam’s razor explanation for a flat metric is usually that the projects the team chose did not have the desired impact. This may well be true, but warrants closer examination. Consider what would have happened had the team not worked on those projects at all. What are all the other metrics that moved while the high-level metric remained flat? For example, if the total usage for a backend service doubles (perhaps due to usability improvements) while the system overall reliability remains constant it’s probably fair to assume that without the team’s work the metrics would have been down instead of flat.
Entire classes of engineering projects are never captured by high-level metrics
To demonstrate this effect, consider an engineering project you’re familiar with that was well-represented by a key organizational metric. Chances are that this project moved a metric with a clear pre-existing trend line quickly and decisively in the direction it should go. This is also precisely the problem - many important engineering projects do not have this particular impact characteristic on high-level metrics. Some examples that I’ve seen are:
- Adding missing features or simplifying functionality when existing users have already worked around the lack of these (by building their own hacks/tools or by developing a deeper understanding of system internals than should be required).
- Opt-in features that take time to be adopted or are designed for a small set of power users.
- Projects that reduce operational overhead or improve developer productivity, which can be hard to measure unless they can be instrumented and compared with the status quo.
- Common-sense projects that are clearly a step forward, but are not recognized because it is too difficult to attribute their impact on a high-level metric (especially a noisy one).
- Fixes to edge-case, hard-to-reproduce bugs that in aggregate could move user perception of product quality and reliability
One solution: Iterate on metrics cheaply
It’s extremely time-consuming to develop metrics that have made all the right trade-offs, build consensus around them with engineers and other stakeholders (especially if there are many), and then track and manage them such that changes in the metric can be root-caused quickly. What I’ve found to be useful is to have a process that lets me iterate on metric design as cheaply as possible while still ending up with an acceptable solution:
Pick the best high-level metric you can think of, and then try to attribute changes in the metric to a few key engineering projects. You will likely need to tweak it — remove outliers, correct for temporal patterns, focus on a subset of users, or consider narrower parts of the system. Engineers can help, and are more willing to do so if you approach with curiosity the question of why their projects don’t appear to have the impact they predicted or expected. When you have evolved the metric to the point where you can quickly attribute changes to these projects, stop.
This process is likely to get you to the point where you end up with the most meaningful high-level metric that is operational (one your team can affect). This addresses the most common criticisms of a metric — that it is either too high level to be operational, or too low-level to be meaningful. It’s much more straightforward to get all stakeholders to buy in and agree to use this kind of metric to evaluate future projects. It also helps to build consensus when communications about metrics are accompanied with language that recognizes the tradeoffs that have been made, and continually reiterates that the metric is just one of the many ways to measure progress.

In the room the women snort and sneeze
talking of Tom Brady’s knees.
The yellow fog that fills our brains,
as we search for leaks under our kitchen drains;
the yellow smoke consuming evidence
of what we said, or meant,
licked its tongue into the halls of Congress,
who, all undressed,
lingered in their pestilential pools,
let fall their legal bribes into their pockets,
paid off their fools,
made their daily mental leaps,
and, seeing that it was a soft October night,
all 535 bundled together
like copulating venomous snakes,
fell asleep.

There will be time, there will be time
to prepare a face to meet the faces that we smear;
time to murder and destroy, promote more fear,
and time for all the works and days of hands
that lift and drop a question on your plate:
How much money you got, motherfucker?
How much you gonna give me?
O, really, that’s your bank account, sucker?
Come back after you give me half,
and maybe I’ll invite you to my campaign tea.
But that’ll cost you another fifteen large.
In the room the women comes and goes
talking of Tom Brady’s nose.
Yes, indeed, there will be time
to wonder “Do I dare?” and, “Do I dare?”

A few hundred large in my pocket
will not disturb the universe,
and if it does,
the Supreme Court will reverse it.

For I know them all already, know them all:
their eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase
about formaldehyde leaking from Chinese plywood
cut from Indonesian rain forests, that may — or
may not — have given cancer to poor people in Louisiana
after Hurricane Katrina
thanks to the Federal Emergency Management Administration.
So how should I begin?
To get a class-action lawyer would cost me $2 million
just to kick it off,
and the case will drag on for 30 years,
by which time I’ll be dead:
So how should I presume?
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
and watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
of lonely men in shirtsleeves, leaning out of windows?
And even if I did, which I have, who cares?

Should I, before the tea and cakes and ices,
have had the strength to forgo the psychedelics?
Looking back on it now, it might have saved me,
and saved whoever those other people were,
from seeing me weep and pray,
as I saw my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter.

And would it have been worth it, after all,
after the Chicago Cubs blew it again —
not to mention the Bears —
would it have been worthwhile
to bring this up as if it were some overwhelming question,
if one, settling a pillow by her head
should say: “Will you shut up
about your Chicago sports teams?”
But that was not what I meant;
That was not it, at all.
And would it have been worth it, after all,
would it have been worthwhile,
after the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
after the novels and the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor —
and after this parody of T.S. Eliot, who wrote:
It is impossible to say just what I mean!

You tied your pants in front.
Did you part your hair behind?
Did you dare to eat a … fig, Newton?

Which he was.
And by the way, Tom,
I don’t believe you ever heard a mermaid singing.
And if you did, what was she singing?
Could you sing it back to us?
I’d like to hear the tune.
(Robert Kahn occasionally writes under the name of T. S. Eliot.)

Available demos:
The reasoner uses a first-order modal logic as representation language. In their most basic form, formulas are about the equality of terms—functions, variables, or standard names. For instance, we could say fatherOf(Sally) = x, where fatherOf is a unary function, x is a variable, and Sally is a standard name. A standard name is a special constant symbols that denote one specific individual; that is, two distinct standard names are guaranteed to refer to two distinct individuals. Predicates are not an explicit part of the language, but can be easily simulated with functions and a special standard name T that indicates truth: rich(x) = T represents that x is in the relation rich. Such equality or inequality expressions are called literals. From these literals, we can form more complex formulas using logical connectives such as logical negation, disjunction and conjunction, existential and universal quantification, implication, or equivalence. For example, ∃x (fatherOf(Sally) = x ∧ rich(x) = T) means Sally's father is rich. Finally, modal operators allow to expressly refer to what is known or considered possible. These modal operators are indexed with a natural number that indicates how much reasoning effort is put into proving the formula in its scope. A statement such as "I know Sally's father is rich, but I don't know him personally" could be formalised as follows:
The above example is a typical query. Usually we are interested in whether or not such a formula is logically entailed by a knowledge base. For knowledge bases we make a syntactic restriction to so-called proper+ formulas: they need to be conjunctions of clauses without existential quantifiers. Note that every knowledge base can be brought into proper+ form by converting it into prenex-CNF and Skolemizing the existentialy quantified variables. Furthermore, knowledge bases are assumed have no nested modal operators.
To help the reasoner optimise query evaluation, the user can provide a guarantee that the knowledge base is consistent with a special modal operator: G α indicates that when evaluating α, the knowledge base can be assumed to be consistent.
The language furthermore comprises conditional belief to refer to differently plausible beliefs. For instance, we could write Bkl fatherOf(Sally) = Frank ⟹ rich(Frank) = T to say that we believe that if Frank is Sally's father, he presumably is rich.
Reasoning in this language is fundamentally based on case splitting—that is, by testing all possible denotations of a term like fatherOf(Sally)—and on unit propagation and subsumption. The reasoning procedures are sound with respect to classical first-order logic, but sacrifice completeness for the sake of decidability. This means that whenever Kk α can be inferred from a knowledge base, then K α holds in the classical semantics, that is, α follows from the knowledge base. Analogously, whenever Mk α can be inferred from a knowledge base, then M α holds in the classical semantics, that is, α is consistent with the knowledge base.
The reasoner is implemented in C++ and will be available as open source. The demos on this website are compiled to Javascript by emscripten. Note that this does impair performance compared to running the same code natively on your computer. How bad the penalty is depends a lot on the specific example, the browser or its Javascripts engine, and possibly your computer, but as a very rough rule of thumb, the Javascript version appears to be about 2× to 4× slower.
For future work, I plan to integrate sitation calculus-style actions, belief revision for sensing, have a look at some other KR concepts, and improve performance.

by https://www.facebook.com/dunyanewsUNITED NATIONS (APP / Dunya News) - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed his sorrow over the deaths of dozens of people in a train that caught fire caused by an exploding gas stove near Liaquatpur city, Rahim Yar Khan district, on Thursday.
“The Secretary-General is saddened by the deaths of so many people in the train accident in Pakistan, and he sends his condolences to the families of the victims of this tragedy,” his spokesman, Farhan Haq, said in a statement emailed to APP.
The news of the tragic accident has been widely covered in the American print and electronic media.
At least 73 passengers lost their lives and over 40 sustained critical burn wounds on Thursday when three carriages of a Tezgam Express caught fire due to explosion in gas canisters purportedly used by Tableeghi Jamaat passengers to cook breakfast near Talwari Station in Liaquatpur area of Rahim Yar Khan.

Youth parliamentarians impacting Jamaica
by David Salmon/ContributorLast week Monday was the close of the National Youth Parliament of Jamaica (NYPJ), which featured energetic speeches from our youth about important issues that currently plague the nation. A part of the mandate of the NJPJ is to provide youth the opportunity to serve in their various constituencies. Here is a synopsis of some of the projects executed across Jamaica by our youth parliamentarians which highlight their spirit of service to the nation.
Teadra Morris
Constituency: St James West Central
Being passionate about empowerment, Teadra Morris launched a programme to assist at-risk girls in her constituency. She provided two homes that housed wards of the State with monthly donations including over 1,500 canned food items, clothes, six fans, detergent products, mosquito repellents and zappers, and school supplies for 30 girls in September. The T’dra Young Women Support Foundation, which was born out of this initiative, provided workshops and mentorship sessions for youth in goal setting and inculcated the values of planning for success. Come Christmas, Morris, through her foundation, will be providing 30 girls with a wish come through by giving them a gift from their Christmas wish list.
Blake Brown
Constituency: Kingston East and Port Royal
Volunteerism and advocacy are two of the principles that guide Blake Brown, which led him to launch the ‘You have a Voice’ initiative. Under this programme, Brown visited the Windward Road Primary School and spoke with grade-six students on the importance of acing their exams, preparing for high school and participation in civic responsibility. He went on to engage with community stakeholders, such as the Rockfort Police Youth Club, in order to deliver a comprehensive report on youth issues to his member of parliament. However, his most rewarding project was his Labour Day initiative in which he and his team assisted in the construction of a gazebo for the Norman Gardens Junior High School.
Sachique Williams
Constituency: St Mary Western
Possessing a burning passion for education, Sachique Williams, undertook a major drive to equip the youth in her constituency with the tools they would need in school. She donated two book grants to the top-performing boy and girl at Oracabessa and Jacks River primary schools. Her support also extended to providing assistance with the homework centre at the Geddes Mountain Seventh-day Adventist Church for primary and secondary students, and conducting community visits to the elderly in the Geddes Mountain Community.
Her ongoing project is with the Galina Basic School to help with infrastructural development and educational supplies.
Janique Watts, Hadyah Blake, Pete Bryan.
Constituency: St Andrew North Eastern
Health and wellness were the priority for Janique Watts, Hadyah Blake and Pete Bryan, who successfully organised two workshops in their constituency. Stakeholders, including Nestlé, participated in their seminar to help sensitise teachers in the constituency on the importance of nutrition and diet for children. The second leg of their programme was conducted on October 22 at the Elim Early Childhood Development Centre, where they hosted a workshop on children’s and parent advocacy.
Representatives from the Child Protective and Family Services Agency were present, signifying the social intervention aspect of their programme.
James Peart and Jhenelle Small
Constituency: Westmoreland Central
Security, both financial and personal were the priority for James Peart and Jhenelle Small. Between August 7 and 16, they hosted the First Responders Workshop at the Manning’s School. The workshop was geared towards providing youth with the opportunities needed for personal and professional development. Open to youth from across the parish, the workshop provided students the ability to gain knowledge and learn skills in first aid, financial wellness, conflict resolution, human trafficking and drugs in Jamaica. At the end of the workshop, all participants were successfully certified in first aid by the St John’s Ambulance and secured the necessary skills to become positive agents for change.

The Apostle (1997) 3 1/2 stars out of 4. Starring Robert Duvall and Farrah Fawcett. Written and directed by Duvall.
In a lifetime of performances, Robert Duvall gives the performance of a lifetime in The Apostle.
Euliss "Sonny" Dewey is a man of God, but hardly a godly man. He is a womanizer, and because of his long absences, his marriage is failing. His wife has fallen in love with a younger minister. And, through the instigation of his wife, he has lost his church.
Added to his misery, "Sonny" gets drunk and smashes his wife's lover with a baseball bat.
Knowing the law will soon be after him, "Sonny" flees Texas for rural Louisiana, sheds his identity and reinvents himself as The Apostle, E.F.
He starts a new church and rediscovers his faith while gathering a flock for his new endeavor.
From his silent, but stunning film debut as Boo Radley in 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird, through such unforgettable performances in such films as Godfather I and II, the neglected, but powerfulThe Great Santini, M*A*S*H, Apocalypse Now, Network, his Oscar-winning Tender Mercies, The Stone Boy and A Family Thing, Duvall has earned the reputation of being America's finest actor.
In The Apostle, he continues his run of bringing to the screen characters who are larger than life, yet flawed and fallable like the rest of us.
Duvall's Apostle is no cynical Elmer Gantry. He does believe, does have faith. But he also has feet of clay. He is good one day, not so good the next. He may be a preacher, but he is no saint.
What is most impressive about The Apostle is Duvall's dedication to the project. He not only stars, but produced, wrote and directed the movie. With so much responsibility weighing on one individual, it is astounding that he could focus so sharply not only on his character, but on the entire milieu of evangelical preachers who can mesmerize as they proslatize.
Duvall has written some powerful sequences that hold you rapt. Among them is a first-reel soliloquoy in which he rants and vents his anger at God while at the same time professing his love for his Lord.
Toward the end of the film comes a wonderfully constructed confrontation between The Apostle and a racist, played by Billy Bob Thornton, who threatens to bulldoze the church. Using just the power of words, The Apostle drains the hate from his antagonist as easily as green kryptonite saps power from Superman.
As a writer, Duvall has an ear for the cadance of these men of God, not only the way they deliver their sermons, but the way in which they converse day-to-day when not standing behind the pulpit. His ear also extends to those in the region. His dialogue captures its flavor completely.
The Apostle has a few flaws. At almost 2 1/2 hours in length, it drags in a some spots and tighter editing may have helped the flow. The opening sequences of "Sonny" in Texas are a bit jumpy and disjointed.
But once the locale moves to Louisiana, the story becomes smoother.
As a director, Duvall draws fine performances from his cast, which is comprised of professionals and non-professionals. In the small role of "Sonny's" wife, Jessie, Farrah Fawcett proves (as she did in the TV movie The Burning Bed) that she is more than a camp sex symbol of the '70s. Thornton is effective and touchingly human in his small part
The Apostle is a movie that those who savor fine acting will appreciate. It also is a testament to one man's vision and perserverence. It's an event not to be missed.

FEELING MINNESOTA A film review by Bryant Frazer Copyright 1996 Bryant Frazer
Written and Directed by Steven Baigleman Starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, and Vincent D'Onofrio USA, 1996
GRADE: C
Quirky.
There's a word I'm sure was on the tongues of Fine Line execs and publicists alike, talking up this unlikely comedy from first-time writer/director Steven Baigleman. They must have seen the potential for another "quirky" comedy from an idiosyncratic director, one who would follow in the footsteps of, if not Quentin Tarantino, then at least David O. Russell or the Coen brothers.
FEELING MINNESOTA tries real hard to be "quirky." And part of the problem is that its quirks are part of an impossibly contrived plot. The slapdash storyline is pure surface -- you can't see any of the twists coming, but they don't exactly surprise you because the story has no interior logic. Like so many films in the Age of Tarantino, this one coasts into theaters on the strength of insincere characters and glib violence.
Your guess is as good as mine why a romantic comedy featuring stars like Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz is allowed to degenerate into generic gunplay and chaos. The opening scenes are almost sweet, with Jjak (Reeves) arriving back at the family home outside of St. Paul for the marriage of his brother Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio). Jjak left home when he was just 8 years old, but mother Norma (Tuesday Weld) welcomes him to the ceremony with open arms, at least until she learns that he had the poor manners to arrive without a present. >From that point on, sibling relations grow a little more strained -- reluctant newlywed Freddie (Diaz) screws Jjak on the bathroom floor minutes after she takes her vows with Sam; Mother drops dead of a heart attack after Jjak makes a scene; Jjak takes the bride with him when he leaves town four days later.
Sounds like a pretty terrific set-up, right? Hell, I was hooked.  Diaz is, finally, a starlet who performs as advertised. She's sulky, seductive and beautiful, and she and Reeves seem made for each other. As the two of them cruise down the highway with their dog, singing along with The Replacements' "I Will Dare" thumping from the stereo of their stolen car, the goofiness really clicks. Anything, it seems, could happen.
Too bad, because it's here that the movie makes a U-turn. Almost immediately, Freddie convinces Jjak to go back to the family spread and steal the money Sam has embezzled from his small-time gangster boss, Red (Delroy Lindo). Naturally, Sam catches him in the act and points a gun at his head. If Sam actually shot Jjak at this point, FEELING MINNESOTA would be a really short movie. So instead, we have to endure another hour or so of Jjak and Sam shouting, pointing guns, and beating the hell out of one another. This idiosyncratic romance has suddenly become a guy movie with "black comedy" aspirations, but to no real effect.
Freddie is the film's lone female catalyst, but no matter -- she disappears at the end of the first act, victim of a nonsensical plot twist. Courtney Love is billed fairly prominently, but she winds up looking good doing remarkably little. She plays a waitress, pouring coffee and making small talk with D'Onofrio. D'Onofrio is an irritating putz, which is the role he was hired to play, so good for him. Dan Aykroyd is better than you would think as a local cop who gets involved as the sibling rivalry turns nasty. The performances are all quite good, and I can't really fault the direction per se. But the script, I think, needed a thumping.
Movies these days have a new amoral fascination with guns. It's easy to blame Tarantino for this, but he's so far made pretty good movies about criminals, movies that try hard to honestly exploit, if not understand, the relationships between men and how they involve violence, loyalty, and power. FEELING MINNESOTA, though, hands out the loaded handguns so early on that they become just props. Everyone in this movie has the power to kill everyone else at some point, so when murder is committed, it doesn't come as a shock.
It would have helped to have a little more in the character department, as well. Sam, it turns out, cooked Red's books to make it look like Freddie was stealing money from him; Freddie was forced to marry Sam as her punishment and his reward. Even so, there's little else in the movie to distinguish loathesome loser Sam from loveable loser Jjak -- good thing Keanu's the cute one, or we might not know who to root for. Freddie's cut from the same cloth. Her idea of success is the kind of part in a Vegas floor show that set SHOWGIRLS in motion. These characters are truly morose, and their dialogue is even worse. Freddie on life: "Time is like an orange." Jjak on his own misery: "I've never felt ... whatever that word is. Happy."
I kept thinking about Jonathan Demme's SOMETHING WILD, a similarly "quirky" comedy that took a sudden, startling left turn into nightmare territory and hit a jackpot. FEELING MINNESOTA isn't nearly as ambitious as that movie, and maybe that's the problem. Mucking about in low-key gloom, Baigleman can't find the energy or exuberance that would make us care at all whether his characters live, die, or join a Vegas floor show. FEELING MINNESOTA is low-rent filmmaking that feels slugglishly, disastrously low-rent.

The autonomous community of Extremadura is in western Spain alongside the Portuguese border. It borders the Spanish regions of Castilla y Leon, Castilla La Mancha and Andalucía as well as Portugal (to the West). Covering over 40,000 square kilometers it has two provinces: Cáceres in the North and Badajoz in the South.
There is a wide range of accommodation throughout Extremadura including small inns and guest houses ('Hostals') or think about renting a 'casa rural' (country house) if you are traveling in a group.
Generally Mediterranean, except for the north, where it is continental. IGenerally known for its extremes, including very hot and dry summers with frequent droughts, and its long and mild winters.
Extremadura hosts major events all year round including theater, music, cinema, literature and folklore. Spectacular venues include castles, medieval town squares and historic centers. There are special summer theater festivals in the Mérida, Cáceres, Alcántara and Alburquerque.
The quality of Extremaduran food arises from the fine quality of the local ingredients. In addition to free-range lamb and beef, fabulous cheeses, red and white wines, olive oil, honey and paprika, Extremadura is particularly renowned for Iberian ham. The 'pata negra' (blackfoot) pigs are fed on acorns in the cork-oak forests, the key to producing the world's best ham and cured sausages.

"All Over Me"
Reviewed by Heather Picker
Directed by Alex Sichel. Written by Sylvia Sichel. Starring Alison Folland and Tara Subkoff, with Cole Hauser and Wilson Cruz. 1997, 95 min., Rated R.
The teen coming-of-age film came to popularity in the 1950s and over the years has gone through many changes. From the angst-filled rebellion melodramas of the 50s to the beach fluff of the early 60s, wistful looks back at the brink of adulthood in the 70s, and John Hughes in the 80s...Along come the 90s, somewhat hard to define. Raging hormones, insecurity, and the internal conflict between wanting to be independent but also fearing adulthood can be seen more on television, which has become a wasteland for teen-oriented programming, than in the movies that the same actors and actresses from the over-hyped television shows are starring in. Where is a viewer looking for an intelligent look at normal teens supposed to turn? "All Over Me," the feature film debut of the writing and directing Sichel sisters duo, is high on the list of alternatives.
Claude (Alison Folland) and Ellen (Tara Subkoff) are inseparable. They spend almost every waking hour together at the Hell's Kitchen apartment Claude lives in with her mom. Their bond is closer than close, it is the type of intense friendship that has a way of alienating others around them, and to an extent, alienates themselves. Claude loves Ellen on more levels than just friendship, and Ellen seems to reciprocate these feelings but can't deal with them and instead turns to a homophobic, drug-pushing boyfriend, Mark (Cole Hauser, "Higher Learning") and begins a downward spiral into drug addiction.
As she begins to fully realize and accept her sexuality, Claude becomes friends with Luke (Pat Briggs of the alternative rock band Psychotica), her neighbor, and Jesse, who works with her at a pizza place (Wilson Cruz, playing a role similar to his character on the late TV show "My So-Called Life"). Both of them are gay, and her frustration over the Ellen situation is both eased and complicated when she meets Lucy (Leisha Hailey of The Murmurs, who contribute a song to the soundtrack), who performs in a rock band, which has long been a dream of Claude's, one that she used to half-heartedly pursue with Ellen. Claude and Lucy begin a stop and go relationship that nicely progresses as Claude grapples with Ellen drifting out of the picture.
As the fates of these two high school students with the expanding rift between them become clearer, so does the depth of the performances. Folland ("To Die For") brings all of the elements of Claude, curiosity, fear, awkwardness, uncertainty, beautifully to the screen. Though portraits of teen druggie characters usually lose credibility due to over-exaggerated acting, Subkoff is rather subdued at times, and never overdoes it. The supporting cast, including Hauser, Cruz, musicians Briggs and Hailey, and Ann Dowd as Claude' mom, Anne, are all good. Alex Sichel directs, based on one of the few recent scripts to treat various teenage topics honestly, written by her sister, Sylvia. "All Over Me" has a terrific soundtrack featuring music from Ani DiFranco, the Geraldine Fibbers, and Sleater-Kinney, among others. Useless trivia: One of the producers, Dolly Hall, has produced several films including "High Art" (1998) and "The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love" (1995). Noteworthy cinematography by Joe DeSalvo. © Heather Picker 1999 http://www.thatmoviesite.8m.com

When you chat to somebody on the Net or send them an e-mail, do you ever stop to think how many different computers you are using in the process? There's the computer on your own desk, of course, and another one at the other end where the other person is sitting, ready to communicate with you. But in between your two machines, making communication between them possible, there are probably about a dozen other computers bridging the gap. Collectively, all the world's linked-up computers are called the Internet. How do they talk to one another? Let's take a closer look!

Then, in a hidden chunk just after the knitr setup chunk, load xaringanthemer and try one of the theme functions.
```{r xaringan-themer, include = FALSE}
library(xaringanthemer)
mono_light(
base_color = "#1c5253",
header_font_google = google_font("Josefin Sans"),
text_font_google = google_font("Montserrat", "300", "300i"),
code_font_google = google_font("Droid Mono")
)
```
xaringanthemer is Tab friendly – use autocomplete to explore the template variables that you can adjust in each of the themes!
Use these functions to automatically create a consistent color palette for your slides, based around a single color.
mono_accent()
The default xaringan theme with a single color used for color accents on select elements (headers, bold text, etc.).
mono_accent_inverse()
An “inverted” default xaringan theme with a single color used for color accents on select elements (headers, bold text, etc.).
These themes build from two (ideally) complementary colors.
duo()
A two-colored theme based on a primary and secondary color.
duo_accent()
The default Xaringan theme with two accent colors.
duo_accent_inverse()
An “inverted” default Xaringan theme with two accent colors.
There are also two themes based around the solarized color palette, solarized_light()
and solarized_dark()
. For both themes, it is advisted to change the syntax highlighting theme to solarized-light
or solarized-dark
(looks great paired or constrasted).
solarized_dark()
To do this, your YAML header should look more-or-less like this:
The theme functions listed above are just wrappers around the central function of this package, write_xaringan_theme()
. If you want to start from the default xaringan theme and make a few modifications, start there.
All of the theme template variables are repeated in each of the theme functions (instead of relying on ...
) so that you can use autocompletion to find and change the defaults for any theme function. To override the default value of any theme functions, set the appropriate argument in the theme function. A table of all template variables is included in vignette("template-variables", "xaringanthemer")
.
As an example, try loading xaringanthemer
, type out duo_theme(
and then press Tab to see all of the theme options.
All of the theme options are named so that you first think of the element you want to change, then the property of that element.
Here are some of the text_
theme options:
text_color
text_bold_color
text_slide_number_color
text_font_size
text_slide_number_font_size
And here are the title slide theme options:
title_slide_text_color
title_slide_background_color
title_slide_background_image
title_slide_background_size
title_slide_background_position
You can also add custom CSS classes using the extra_css
argument in the theme functions. This argument takes a named list of CSS definitions each containing a named list of CSS property-value pairs.
extra_css <- list(
".red" = list(color = "red"),
".small" = list("font-size" = "90%"),
".full-width" = list(
display = "flex",
width = "100%",
flex = "1 1 auto"
)
)
If you would rather keep your additional css definitions in a separate file, you can call write_extra_css()
separately. Just be sure to include your new CSS file in the list of applied files in your YAML header.
/* Extra CSS */
.red {
color: red;
}
.small {
font-size: 90%;
}
.full-width {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
This is most helpful when wanting to define helper classes to work with the remark.js .class[]
syntax. Using the above example, we could color text red .red[like this]
or write .small[in smaller font size]
.
Yihui picked out great fonts for the default xaringan theme, but sometimes you want something new and interesting.
xaringanthemer makes it easy to use Google Fonts in your presentations (well, as long as you have an internet connection) or to fully specify your font files.
To use Google Fonts, set the _font_google
theme arguments – text_font_google
, header_font_google
, code_font_google
— using the google_font()
helper. See ?google_font
for more info.
mono_light(
header_font_google = google_font("Josefin Slab", "600"),
text_font_google = google_font("Work Sans", "300", "300i"),
code_font_google = google_font("IBM Plex Mono")
)
If you set an xxx_font_google
theme arguments, then xxx_font_family
, xxx_font_weight
and xxx_font_url
are overwritten – where xxx
in {header, text, code}
. Of course, you can manually set header_font_url
, etc., and ignore the header_font_google
argument.
For example, suppose you want to use a ligature font for the code font, such as Fira Code. Just set code_font_family
and code_font_url
!
solarized_dark(
code_font_family = "Fira Code",
code_font_url = "https://cdn.rawgit.com/tonsky/FiraCode/1.204/distr/fira_code.css"
)
If you need to import additional fonts for use in custom CSS definitions, you can use the extra_fonts
argument to pass a list of URLs or google_font()
s.
mono_light(
extra_fonts = list(google_font("Sofia")),
extra_css = list(".title-slide h2" = list("font-family" = "Sofia"))
)

This is why I want to work at Basecamp. I love running my business, and the decision to transition away from it isn’t one I take lightly. I am looking for work that will fulfill and challenge me.

COBB A film review by Eric Grossman Copyright 1994 LOS ANGELES INDEPENDENT
Given Hollywood's affinity for baseball movies, it was just a matter of time until they decided to tell the real story of Ty Cobb, one of the game's most loved and despised players. Unfortunately, the film fails to do the baseball legend justice or even injustice.
It didn't have to be that way. Tommy Lee Jones tries his best to create a complex character but he is limited by the film's aimless direction. Writer/director, Ron Shelton, a filmmaker who has made some very good sports films (BULL DURHAM, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP), misses terribly this time. His script is fragmented and he makes the critical mistake of having the movie deal mostly with Cobb's relationship with famous sports writer, Al Stump. Cobb invites Stump (Robert Wuhl) to his Lake Tahoe house to interview "the great Ty Cobb." He wants Stump to write a book so the world will remember the man, the myth, the legend. After hearing stories and spending time with his subject, Stump finds himself struggling between writing the truth about the man or safeguarding his greatness. The truth is that despite Cobb's athletic abilities, he was a racist and a womanizer who also had abused his family. Cobb drags Stump along with him to Reno and the film becomes sort of a buddy/road picture. There are some time-outs to show flashbacks of Cobb as a child, the death of his father, and a few (very few) baseball scenes. Most of the movie is spent with Cobb running around as an old man, coughing and taking pills, insulting people, trying unsuccessfully to rape a woman, shooting his pistol and ranting, "I'm Ty Cobb, the greatest baseball player ever."
Although Cobb is a completely nasty person, Jones' likability as an actor is able to create some sympathy for him. He gives his signature southern, eccentric performance and the strength of his acting is the only thing that is cohesive in this film.
Wuhl's Stump is a different story. He is supposed to be the audience's surrogate, the person we identify with as we learn about this hideous hero. However, Stump's motivation for staying with Cobb is very thin, even non- existent at times. Their relationship is contrived and after the tenth time I heard Stump say to the abusive Cobb, "I'm leaving," I kept wishing he would because then the credits would roll and I could go home.
The production values are solid but there is not much of particular interest to note. Lolita Davidovich is wasted in her small, thrown-in part as a cocktail waitress who receives too much sexual attention from Cobb. Elliot Goldenthal's score is solid and we will probably be hearing it in the previews for Hollywood's next big baseball epic.
COBB is frustrating because it had most of the ingredients to be a good movie. A interesting subject, a great actor to play him and a major studio producing it. It is a bad film made by good filmmakers and every time this happens, I always wonder why they didn't see the mistakes sooner. Oh well, nobody bats a thousand, not even Ty Cobb.

Talented yoga instructor, caring doula, and gifted artist{% endblock %} {% block about_active %}class="active"{% endblock %} {% block slider %} {% endblock %} {% block breadcrumbs %} {% endblock %} {% block content %}
In 2005 Teresa started to really listen to the intuitive voice within her. Knowing there was a deep need for change in her life, Teresa left New York City and traveled around the world on a journey to heal herself. Jet lagged she wandered in the early morning to her first yoga class in Sydney, Australia…. It was love at first practice. “I knew I had found something that deeply connected with my core. I felt like I was doing something I already knew. I thought to myself; I can change. I can do this. I can feel like this everyday.” After returning to the states, she became a very dedicated yoga practitioner. In the years following, she explored Bikram, Hatha and Vinyasa yoga and is now a devoted Ashtanga yogini finding unparalleled peace and joy in the practice.
While watching insurmountable change flourish within her own life, she became inspired by the idea she could help others heal themselves both mentally and physically by actualizing their own innate powers. In 2006, she studied meditation at the International Hermitage of Suan Mokkh in Thailand under the guidance of Ajahn Poh. Here she began to understand the use of yoga as preparation for meditation. In 2008 she completed her 200-hr Yoga Alliance certification at Yoga Now Chicago with Amy Beth Treciokas. In early 2009 she also took a pilgrimage to deepen her practice and traveled to India to study with her Guru Sharath at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore. During the third trimester of her first pregnancy, she ventured to Minneapolis and completed her RPYT certification with the Prenatal Yoga Goddesses Sarah Longacre and Stacy Seebart at Blooma Yoga. She gave birth to her first child in Chicago on February 1, 2012.
Teresa is an advocate for women and building communities. She passionately works as a doula helping mothers prepare their body, mind and spirit for birth. After completing her DONA Birth Doula training in 2010, she desired to deepen her knowledge of pregnancy and birth. Inspired by the work of Ina May Gaskin, Teresa went directly to the source and had the pleasure of studying with the extraordinary, globally renowned group of midwives on The Farm at the Midwifery Assistant workshop in Spring 2011. In December 2012, she attended the Birthing from Within Introductory Workshop and Training with Virginia Bobro in Portland, Oregon. Shortly thereafter, she relocated to the Twin Cities.
Currently Teresa teaches yoga at both Modus Locus and Blooma Yoga. She is a birth doula serving families throughout the metro. She is also a photographer and offers both infant and birth photography packages. She is honored to have been selected as one of the weekly Powderhorn365 photographers for 2016.
Teresa is the mother of two sweet, vibrant children and resides with her family in South Minneapolis. She feels her teaching inspiration is beyond her worldly senses. Each class is an opportunity for inspiration, to help individuals turn within, to create a space in which they can deeply connect to their own light, the universal flow of energy and learn to always listen to their hearts.
Do your practice and all is coming.
