India, Bangladesh: Water Disputes and Teesta River Diplomacy

This post is part of our International Relations & Security coverage.

India and Bangladesh share 54 rivers between them. Despite setting up a Joint River Commission for water management as early as 1972, tensions between the countries on how to share resources recently came to a head in a dispute over the Teesta River. At stake are the lives of countless people from West Bengal and Bangladesh who depend upon the river for survival.

To date, only one comprehensive river pact has been signed by India and Bangladesh – a 1996 bilateral treaty that established a 30-year water-sharing arrangement between the two countries. This was set to change in September 2011 when India’s Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, was due to sign a pact with his Bangladeshi counterpart regarding access and use of the Teesta River.

The Teesta – which has its source in Sikkim – flows through the northern part of West Bengal in India before entering Bangladesh, where after coursing through about 45km of irrigable land, merges with the Brahmaputra River (or Jamuna when it enters Bangladesh). In 1983, an ad-hoc water sharing agreement was reached between India and Bangladesh, whereby both countries were allocated 39% and 36% of the water flow respectively. The new bilateral treaty expands upon this agreement by proposing an equal allocation of the Teesta River.

However, the deal fell through when the then newly elected Chief Minister of West Bengal, Ms. Mamata Banerjee, refused to approve the treaty, fearing that the loss of higher volume of water to the lower riparian would cause problems in the northern region of state, especially during drier months.

Given that water is a state issue in India, and that Banerjee’s political party, the All India Trinamool Congress, is a key coalition partner of the ruling central government, the deal could not go through without her approval. While a large section of the Bangladeshi populace as well as the Indian media vilified her rigid stance, her opposition to the terms of the treaty was not without its share of support.

In May 2012, during a visit to India, the Bangladesh Foreign Minister, Ms. Dipu Moni, warned that bilateral relations would be complicated if India fails to deliver on the Teesta water-sharing agreement.

Despite this pressure tactic, the treaty remains a slow burner as India continues its efforts of domestic political consensus building. However, the Indian Minister for External Affairs, S.M. Krishna tried to diffuse tensions and assured Bangladesh that India remains committed to an early solution on the issue of sharing Teesta waters.

Bangladesh also wants a quick resolution to the issue, and may even be willing to soften their stance because of mounting pressure at home to get the deal done.

Bangladeshi journalist and blogger Farid Ahmed writes:

It is apparently quite clear now that…Bangladesh for now has failed to ensure that India inks a deal…to share water of common rivers, mainly Teesta … Now it is Bangladesh which has to do what it should have started long ago. Apart from traditional diplomacy, they should have transmitted the feelings of its public to those on the other side of the border. The sky is locked for Dhaka as no Bangladeshi channels are broadcasted by Indian cable operators… Most Indian newspapers were supportive for Bangladesh’s cause on Teesta. That’s a positive side. What about engaging with West Bengal’s public?

Nevertheless, looking beyond the political rhetoric, West Bengal’s concerns about water security for its northern region cannot be overlooked and need to be allayed. India is already beginning to feel the strain on its water security given the ever rising demands for more water for its burgeoning population. According to a 2010 report ‘Water Security for India: The External Dynamics’ published by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA):

India is facing a serious water resource problem and as trends suggest, it is expected to become ‘water stressed’ by 2025 and ‘water scarce’ by 2050

Both countries, therefore, need to develop a well thought out, balanced treaty that will enable equitable sharing of the waters of the Teesta, thereby enhancing bilateral ties and reducing the possibility of water conflict.

  • The dispute between Bangladesh and India is not going to be resolved unless the two countries can arrange a meeting dedicated just for this. Bangladesh deserves to be able to get the water from Teesta. The Indian government is being entirely unreasonable by withholding the dialogue between the two countries regarding this.

  • ziaush shams

    ” The Indian government is being entirely unreasonable by …………” What do you expect from such a cruel neighbor, Mr Tarek Alam, when their BSF boss states that ….. “only seven Bangladeshis have been killed last month”. I am convinced as long as Brahmins will rule India, the other castes will be further marginalized in their own country, forget about being reasonable with the people of their neighboring country- Bangladesh. And all the rivers belong to India for they have originated there. If you do not accept that doctrine, you are unreasonable. Understand!

    • rajeev

      neither you know about India or who is ruling here??

    • Srijoni Banerjee

      getting so many reservations how can these people say about marginalisation of other casts….one thing has been proved by Mr Shams that extra support actually weakens instead of strengthening people!!!!!!!!and the talk is about Water Issue and not about cast…weak analogy!!!!!

  • Dr. Aminur Rahman

    If Bangladesh wants to resolve water-sharing problem with India; she must raise this issue to UN council; without this Bdesh never get their water as International law.

      is that wt u want?

  • jesu

    In accordance, with the above given article it is irrespective of the policies and political domain that plays a major role in the treaties of Teesta, adhere to the vested interests of both the nations political scenario. It clearly shows the impinging of water which is of a natural resource that is to be shared equally between the two countries which is in need of allaying the treaties signed in 1972 and 1983 due to its not much of opaque nature. As the chief minister of the state the fear of making her people suffer in the drier seasons its her responsibility to act as a detractor but with a prudent perspective the act is of vilifying nature by madam. mamtha banerji . Let’s just hope the best would be done with the inks of Teesta water treaty with the recent meeting of union minister of state for development of northeastern region, External affairs and overseas Indian affairs.

Do We Really Need Drugs for Our Eyelashes?

brooke-shieldsHave you seen the commercials with Brooke Shields applying Latisse to her eyelids so she can grow fuller, longer lashes?

Wasn’t she a supermodel? Does she really need help in the beauty department? Has she read the side effects?

Latisse, according to the fine print in the commercial, can cause your eyelids to darken or turn yellow. And that’s not all. It can also cause unwanted hair to grow on other places on your eyelid. Yuk!

Save your money and your eyelids. Try mascara. It’s been working for women for decades.

For help choosing the mascara that is right for you, read Grace Magazine’s 10-part series called Mascara Wars.

We can’t legally buy pot in the U.S., but you can get any kind of prescription drug you want. Side effects are your free gift with purchase.

5 responses to “Do We Really Need Drugs for Our Eyelashes?

  1. Did you hear the side effects ?!? Change of color to your eyelids that may or may not go away?… Hell. No.

  2. It also may change the color of your eyes. Very weird and scary.

  3. mascara and latisse is VERY VERY different.
    their purpose is obviously very different.
    you cannot compare apple juice and champagne.

    actually all types of medicine have really scary side effects. try reading them

  4. Did you read the post? I don’t think you understood it.

  5. Someone else posted about being in a salon and seeing women getting their eyelashes trimmed because this stuff makes the lashes keep growing. If it does that to eyelashes [which sounds kind of freaky].

City of Philadelphia Receives Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant from Pennsylvania DEP to Add Electric Vehicles to Local Car Share Fleets

Philadelphia, November 16, 2010 – Governor Edward G. Rendell and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection announced today that the City of Philadelphia’s Mayor’s Office of Sustainability will receive a $140,000 Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant (AFIG) to purchase and install chargers for 20 electric vehicles (EV) in Philadelphia.  The chargers will serve 18 EVs that PhillyCarShare and Zipcar will add to their fleets and provide two parking spaces with charging services available the public.  By displacing 18 traditional car share vehicles, the project is expected to cut CO2 emissions by 61,000 pounds per year.

Greenworks Philadelphia sets a goal to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions 20% by 2015,” said Mayor Michael A. Nutter. “Adding electric vehicles to Philadelphia’s successful car share programs will give thousands of Philadelphia drivers an affordable opportunity to experience new EV technology and help the City reach our ambitious sustainability goals.”

Electric vehicle technology is well suited for car share use because the average car share trip is between 30 and 40 miles long, well within the range of one battery charge.  Using EVs in high-mileage fleet settings such as car share programs also increases the environmental benefit of the vehicles by replacing a large number of traditional fuel vehicle miles driven.

The project is an important first step in strengthening Philadelphia’s EV infrastructure.  It will help the City understand and improve EV charger installation permitting, give PECO valuable information about how chargers interact with the existing grid, and provide data on how electric vehicles perform in Philadelphia’s weather and traffic conditions.

“This project starts solving the chicken and egg problem by creating an electric car public charging infrastructure that will then encourage people to purchase and use electric cars,” said DEP Secretary John Hanger. “The project also shows that Philadelphia can be a leader in the electric car revolution that will create enormous health, environmental and economic benefits.”

Further information on the City of Philadelphia’s Greenworks Philadelphia sustainability plan and the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability can be found at

A tale of three reform approaches on asset forfeiture

The media's typical response to President Trump in these early days of his presidency has been to react to his outlandish statements while giving short shrift to related policy analysis. Let's not repeat that mistake here.

With the president weighing in on Texas asset forfeiture legislation, threatening to ruin the career of some unnamed state senator who supports it, it's worth taking a quick look at the three main, alternative approaches on forfeiture reform being suggested by Republican senators in Texas this session.

The bill implementing the idea that the Rockwall Sheriff decried to President Trump is SB 380 by Konni Burton, supported primarily by the grassroots conservative faction at the Lege and an array of conservative organizations. That bill would require a criminal conviction to forfeit assets. Most people assume the government can't take your money or your car in a forfeiture unless you have been convicted of a crime, so this bill represents the primary small-government reform on forfeiture and the starting point for any dialogue among conservatives.

Sen. Don Huffines has legislation to increase transparency surrounding forfeitures (SB 662) and another (SB 663) which would have forfeiture proceeds go to the crime victim compensation fund instead of being kicked back to the arresting and prosecuting agencies. That's a great suggestion. If we're going to do forfeiture, at least take the profit motive out of it. That would remove financial incentives to file forfeiture claims and, odds are, as a result prosecutors would file fewer of them. In particular, you'd probably see less of the small-time workaday cases that fill most forfeiture dockets. (Typical state forfeiture cases are for just a few thousand dollars - often just a vehicle.)

Right now, forfeiture funds are treated as barely accountable slush funds for police and prosecutors which may be spent for any "law enforcement purpose." (Could that phrase be any more broad?) Separating seizure of assets from the spending of them would eliminate persistent perceptions of self dealing that shroud current seizure policies.

Finally, SB 401 by Joan Huffman would not require a criminal conviction for forfeiture, but would raise the burden of proof for seizing property from a "preponderance of the evidence" to "clear and convincing." Moreover, she would allow courts to reimburse attorney fees and related costs when they later rule that property was not forfeitable. And the bill creates procedures for when officers seize assets without a warrant, requiring them to get one post hoc within 48 hours or the property must be returned.

Huffman's bill has been referred to the State Affairs Committee, which she chairs, and one should never bet against a committee chair passing legislation out of her own committee.

Prosecutors view Sen. Huffman as their main ally and principle voice in the Texas Senate. In the past, she's been skeptical of asset forfeiture reform and was a key reason it did not pass in 2015. So for her to file a bill with even a few of the reform measures being pushed by the Texas Public Policy Foundation, the Institute for Justice, the Koch Institute, Heritage Foundation, etc., makes a significant statement.

President Trump's off-the-cuff threats aside, with so many conservative senators seeking changes, odds are pretty good something will happen. Huffman's bill represents a floor for what can be achieved in the senate this year on asset forfeiture, Burton's bill the ceiling.

MORE: From the Marshall Project.

CORRECTION: This item originally said SB 380 required a conviction to "seize" assets; under the bill, a conviction would only be required to forfeit them. H/T: Michael Haugen.

Phelps said...

308 would be best. 401 might be an acceptable compromise, though. 663 is more just a "poison pill" but it is better than nothing.

My main concern goes along the lines of the RKBA fight in Texas. 633 is the old concealed carry law. 401 is the LTC law. 308 is true Constitutional Carry. If 633 passes, it will kick the can down the road 20 years. If 401 passes, the 308 might never pass.

We won. President Trump will make America great again.

4:08PM - Wonder if Trump was nominated by or on his 12th day in office for the Nobel Prize like his predecessor?

Trump will do what is good for America. Texas will do what is good for Texas.

That is why we are supposed to have a Federal system.

Allowing the government to take anyone's property without a conviction is something I'd expect only from the old Soviet Union. It's not the USA I grew up in. Police are taking kid's life savings they need to go to college with. It's wrong.

Great when and for whom?

Anonymous said...

As it relates to SB 401, how would that work exactly? A police department who believes they are justified to seize property would go before a judge to make their case? Much like getting a warrant? Would the owners of the property in question also be able to be present and make their case? (Unlike when the police seek a warrant). I'm neither an attorney nor an expert but without an upfront opportunity to make a defensive argument, raising the bar from preponderance to clear and convincing feels like semantics more than an actual protective improvement.

Anonymous said...

Aren't most crimes settled out of court to avoid overloading the court system? Crimes are often marked down to a lessor classification to get a speedy conviction.

The crime they committed is oftn much worse than what they are convicted of. We like to say, "oh, they didn't commit that crime," when we know they did but it was bumped down to get a quick conviction. Also, when I look at their three-page rap sheet I have an idea of who I'm dealing with.

Phelps said...

401 is short and easy to read, Grits encapsulated it pretty well. It wouldn't be like a warrant, it would BE a warrant.

So the procedure would be:

1) They now have to get a warrant within 48 hours, or you can get your property back with no further action than just saying, "gimme."

2) If they get the warrant, they now have to have the same proceedings as before, but now the standard is Clear and Convincing Evidence (meaning, this is clearly and plainly criminal proceeds or used in the alleged crime) rather than preponderance ("more likely than not" that the money/property was gained illegally.) It's a MUCH higher standard, just a smidge under Beyond a Reasonable Doubt.

Asset forfeiture was first used during the Reagan administration. When taxes are lowered on the rich then other means must be used to finance public services, infrastructure, etc. Now we have government theft, toll roads are becoming the norm, etc., etc., etc.

Remember, during the years of 1940-1970 taxes on the wealthiest of us were around 90%.

Anonymous said...

The strategy helped reconcile President Reagan’s call for government action in fighting crime with his call to reduce public spending. In 1989, Attorney General Richard Thornburgh boasted, “It’s now possible for a drug dealer to serve time in a forfeiture-financed prison after being arrested by agents driving a forfeiture-provided automobile while working in a forfeiture-funded sting operation.”

Am I right in seeing that only Burton's bill would address federal equitable sharing? If so that's a big loophole - even in some of the audit bills, which seem to require reporting only of property seized "under this chapter." Arguably that doesn't extend to property seized not pursuant to state law. Thoughts here?

Q. When will my box arrive?
A. If you ordered before the 20th at 7:59PM EST, your box will shipped between the 22nd and 27th of this month. If you placed your order AFTER the 20th at 7:59PM EST, your box will ship next month between the 22nd and 27th.

Q. When will I be billed?
A. You are billed immediately when you make your first purchase, regardless of when you signed up. Recurring payments will be billed on the 20th of the month.

Q. When do I need to place my order by?

A. The cut off to receive your box this month is the 19th at  5:00PM EST. If you order after the 19th at 5:00PM EST, your box will ship next month between the 22nd and 27th.

Q. Are you affiliated with Universal Studios?

A. We are not affiliated with Universal Studios, but we are REALLY big fans. Our monthly boxes are filled with snacks and souvenirs that we personally purchase at the parks and resorts, then ship to you! It’s like personal shopping but in a fun mystery box every month.

Q. If I purchase a box that is $39.99 will I receive items worth $39.99?

A. We would absolutely love to ship out $40+ worth of merchandise on a $39.99 box. However if you factor in our time and costs which include driving (time and gas), time walking and transporting between Universal locations (gift shops, stores, parks, and resorts), extra packaging and handling time & costs, and that we pay full retail price for all Universal Orlando parks merchandise, you’ll see it’s not possible.

A good rule of thumb for all of our packages is about 45% of the cost goes to these fees, so you will typically receive about a minimum of 55% in merchandise (including tax). However, most months you will receive a higher value. It all depends on what we can purchase that month.

Our boxes are about receiving authentic Diagon Alley/Hogsmeade items from Universal Studios Orlando/IOA, to anywhere in the world. This means we can’t match big box retailer prices. In addition the only to get these items before Hagrid’s Hut was to purchase them directly at the park by paying park admission.

Q. What items are included?

A. The items in our boxes come directly from Universal Orlando/IOA and Resorts which gives us a HUGE selection to choose from. Our snack items include only items that will maintain their freshness during shipping. As much as we’d like to ship you butterbeer, it probably won’t happen due to sanitary reasons.

For our souvenirs, we’ll send you toys, kitchenware like plates and cups, home decor, collectibles, pins, etc. The bigger the package, the higher priced items we can ship you.

Q. How do you ship food items?

A. Rest assured that we only ship items that will make it to you fresh. You won’t receive any soft pretzels or Butterbeer (as much as we’d love to send some to you). All of our items will remain fresh long after you receive them. For items that will melt, such as chocolates, we have a special process (requires next day or second day shipping) that will ensure you receive it in the same condition as we bought it. No matter the weather conditions or time of year, if you want us to ship you chocolate frogs, fizzing whizzbees or exploding Bon Bons, we want to make certain that you’re getting fresh chocolate!

Q. Can I choose what’s included?

A. Sort of. You are given the option to customize the TYPES of items you get. For example, we have you pick between boy and girl, adult or child, etc. This makes sure you we send items that you will love while keeping the element of surprise every month.

We also offer a personal shopping option and we can create a box specifically for you. You can pick specific items, or even just a theme. You can see more information about custom personal shopping boxes here

Q. Can I upgrade or change packages?
A. Absolutely. Once you’re a member, you have a member portal you can log into. Once there, you have the option to cancel, upgrade or downgrade your membership.
Q. Can I specify an allergy?
A. With so many various food allergies, we do not have packages to cater to these various dietary restrictions. However, may I suggest the personal shopping option, it is a great chance to let us know what you like, dislike and need us to steer away from when shopping for you.
Q. Can I send as a gift?
A. Your friends and family are lucky to have you. There are two options for gifting. If you want to give someone our monthly subscription box service, you can sign up and pay either monthly. During the purchase, you will be asked for the shipping name and address. You simply fill in the recipients details, and away it goes!
Q. Do you ship internationally?
A. We do! Due to the nature of shipping internationally, time frames vary greatly. There may be extra fees or taxes by your local post which we are not responsible for. Shipments do include food so if there are any restrictions on receiving these items, please do not place an order. We are not liable (and no refund will be issued) if an order is placed and these issues arise.
Q. How do I cancel?
We hope you don’t but if you do our packages can be canceled at anytime (although we don’t think you’ll want to once you sign up). You can manage your subscription under your account page.

  1. Help! A couple of questions….do you normally warm the pomegranate paste? And is pomegranate paste the same as pomegranate molasses??? Also, I understand how to mix the saffron and water, but how much water roughly do you use and then how much do I pour on the barberries??! Not all of it I guess because I need some for a little bit of the rice…….
    I want to impress Rana….it will be our 3rd date….I’m a Canadian and this is all veeeery new cuisine for me!

    • No need to warm pomegranate paste, which is better than molasses, two or three tablespoon water is enough for the saffron you may reach the yellow color of saffron by a cube of ice! For berries also two or three tablespoon of water would be fine, I am sure that Rana would be impressed because you put love in your food, wishing you success and happiness!

Digital Camera Failures 316

An anonymous reader writes "In the past week, four major camera makers have quietly published service advisories admitting their digital cameras are dying. In each case, the flaw appears to involve Sony CCD sensors using epoxy packaging that eventually lets in moisture. Sony's own cameras are among those affected, and the company also has dozens of affected camcorder models. Sony is believed to be picking up the tab for the repairs for the other camera makers as well, regardless of warranty status. (If true, a laudable approach.) Given the large numbers of cameras that are potentially involved, this can't be good news for Sony, who apparently already is expecting losses, and who has also recently announced major layoffs."

    It may be a "laudable approach" for Sony to pick up the tabs for the camera makers, but what about the consumers? I have one of the Canon models mentioned. I'd like to get it fixed/certified NOW so I don't unexpectedly find it exhibiting these defective behaviors when I'm trying to tape something important like my son's first steps or his first Christmas.

    The Canon announcement is only for Asia and it only offers to fix the camera if and when it starts showing symptoms of the problems. As far as I'm concerned, that's bogus. They should offer a general recall and repair/replacement of all models affected so people don't lose the once-in-a-lifetime events they bought these cameras to capture.

      If you go to the US site there is information about a return there, too. Here's what I found about my Cannon A75.

      It has recently come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image sensor used in this Canon digital camera may cause the following malfunction: When the product is used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all. While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States, we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot and humid environments.

      Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of charge, products exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.

      U.S. residents are kindly directed to contact the Canon Customer Support Center for further assistance at 1-800-828-4040. Support hours are Monday thru Friday - 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight; and Saturday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (all times EST). Alternatively, if electronic support is preferred, please send your email to

      A $250 digital camera, for all practical purposes, is the equivalent of a $50 35mm film camera (technically the $50 film camera has a higher resolution, but that's another discussion). These low end digitals replace the snapshot cameras of yore, but shouldn't be confused with actual professional quality cameras. If you know that you're going to be shooting a "once in a lifetime" event like a wedding, first birthday, or something along those lines, you should either be shooting it in higher quality (and more reliable) film, or invest in a higher end digital.

      If you lose that once in a lifetime shot because you trusted it to a cheap snapshot camera, that's as much your fault as the vendors.

        On the other hand, one of the articles lists the Fuji FinePix S2, which is a $1500 dSLR. Not exactly a cheap snapshot camera. (Not sure I buy the S2 being on that list, because the CCD is supposed to be a radically different design than the others listed, but the news article does include it...)
      • the first generation (i.e. the actual film) may have higher resolution, but 2nd generation (aka the print) will not. That's one reason why [film] slides were as popular as they were. Converting from a 1st generation image to 2nd is quite costly (certainly not perfect).
        • The solution to that nowadays is digitization of your slides or print negatives. A decent quality film scanned through a quality scanner can yield 9-11 megapixels of effective resolution. When printed using the same equipment used for digital photography printing, there is zero effective difference between them.
      • Because you need the *pro-quality* transistors! You aren't gonna use any ol' bought-them-off-a-guy-with-an-overcoat-transistors in your camera, now are you? No, you need 'em gold-plated!

        Look, there are legitimate statements that can be made regarding advantages of high end digital cameras over low end, but I am exceedingly dubious that reliability (of a device that is almost entirely solid-state digital electronics) is at severe risk.

While I was there I keept most of my tools, envelopes, postage stamps, and test equipment in ammo boxes with large packages of silica gel and a humidity indicator. I would nuke the silica gel when the humidity started to creep up. Now that I know the camera can be affected, it is now stored in an ammo box. Corrosion creep should not be an issue when it's stored at 20% or less humidity.

      Not so. These defects are such as to make the products unmerchantable, which gives the buyer (in this case the manufacturers) a bunch of rights that would cost Sony a lot more if they were exercised. Doing the repairs free will cost Sony a lot less than paying the value of replacement products or repairs by a third party, which is what they would be up for (plus costs) if they were sued.

      There is nothing remotely attributable to honourable conduct here (and if you have dealt with Sony recently you would be aware of how thoroughly dishonourable that behemoth has become). It is self preservation, pure and simple, that has led them down this path.

    My school was badly hit by this - our Film and Video department was largely made of Sony digital cameras, and they all died over time. We have since switched to Panasonic, and they have never had to be replaced.
  • I was pleasently surprised to see that while the DCF-F717 is affected, the DCS-F828 is NOT ... which I own. While the advisory states "October 2002 through March 2004" I've owned this camera for almost 2 years now ... so it doesn't sound like this is affecting any recent vintage digicams (?)
    • I own a F828 as well. The camera is the F717's sucessor and uses a different, 8MPx 4 color CCD (regular CCDs pick up the RGB, the one on the F828 picks up RGB and Emerald - then a tweaked image processor takes the emerald signal to give better shading of greens and blues). The camera CCD's "Super HAD" design uses bigger lens on the chip's surface for higher sensitivity, which probably means they use a different sealing process.

      So, the F828's CCD is most likely built on a completely different assembly line

    When I just recently bought my camera from Amazon, I read reviews on a few of the Canon cameras which were explicitly mentioning that some of the models were very sensitive to high temperature and after failures you couldn't get them fixed because the warranty specifies that it won't cover any damage due to Arizona-like temperatures and high temperature fluctuations. I followed the reviewer's advise and finally decided on the SD400 which doesn't have that problem. It's a good thing that they are now admitting to be at fault. They probably noticed the sales on those models taking a big dip and this is the only way to eliminate the cameras which are stuck in inventory.

    CR says that Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and Olympus have the *fewest* problems. Pentax (sounds like a tampon brand), Konica/Minolta, and Toshiba are the least reliable, with Vivitar being the absolute least reliable. In absolute numbers, about 2.5% of Sony digicams needed repairs, about 10% of Vivitar cameras did. From the survery: "Based on 186,900 reader responses to our 2005 Annual Questionnaire about digital cameras bought new between 2002 and 2005. Data have been standardized to eliminate differences linked to age and usage. Differences of less than 4 points aren't meaningful." For autos, CR's surveys have been dead on, at least for me....every car I have had has aged and been as reliable as they predicted it would be, even down to individual systems (cooling, electrical, etc....) But, yes, for all you statisticians out there, I know that is completely anecdotal, as "n" is very small in my case....I keep my cars a long time....

      I'd question the judgement of anyone who doesn't know that Pentax is a major optical manufacturer, with more experience than even Canon in making small short focal length lenses of the kind required for digital cameras. They do, however, have a short history of making digital cameras and I suspect that this is part of the reliability issue. I can only say that I have one of their small, ruggedised water resistant cameras for marine use and it hasn't broken yet - but that's just anecdotal.

      However, the real point I'd like to make is this. By their nature, consumer satisfaction reports tend to be way out of date. This is because the records relate to models that have been around for a while, which in a rapidly moving industry means they may not relate to what is on the shelves at all. A case in point from another industry was Volvo, which at one time enjoyed a totally unwarranted reputation for reliability based on the longevity and reliability of one of its post-war models which shared very few parts with later models. (I know this is true because the girlfriend of a friend had one of the reliable Volvos, and side by side you could easily see it was built to a totally different standard from the later ones. It was wrecked by collision with a truck at 132000 miles, at which point the seats were just getting slightly tatty.)

      Nowadays it is indeed possible to predict how long a car will last because so much effort has been put into reliability engineering, and it is relatively easy to see what is under the hood and make an evaluation. But for things like digital cameras this is virtually impossible because the technology is changing fast.It's possible to evaluate things like the robustness of doors, the protection of the lens, scratch resistance of LCD covers etc., but you know nothing about the internal mechanisms or the reliability of the electronics. I suspect that it is not even necessarily true that you get what you pay for because in electronics cost is so volume sensitive.

      My conclusion? Don't worry. Choose on the basis of your preferred mix of features, compatibility, optical quality and weight, and be sure you get a reasonable warranty. But my own preference would always be to buy from a manufacturer who really understands small cameras and short focus lenses. That means Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Leitz (acquired Minox), Pentax and Minolta. Fuji's camera superiority is in medium format. Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba are electronics manufacturers and dependent on the optical people for lenses and expertise in areas like ergonomics.

    We have a Canon digital ELPH SD100; excellent camera, and very sturdy (survived several rough week-long back-country expeditions with no problems).

    However, lately the camera has developed strange circles in some of its images, especially in certain lighting conditions, or certain atmospheric conditions that we have not been able to really pin down. Most of the time, the images are clear.

    The circles or rings seem similar to what you might get with dust somewhere in the lens system near the focal plane; the each circle covers perhaps up to 1/10th of the image area, but many of them are smaller, and some dimmer than others. The next time we use the camera, they don't appear at all!

    Could thse perhaps be explained by condensation on the inside of the CCD's window, which only appears in certain temperature or atmospheric pressure situations?

    My powershot A60 just started doing this, and here I thought it was because of the years of travel with it. Now I just have to fine my local canon rep and get it fixed. Of course, I shoot with a rebel XT now, but atleast I can have my point and shoot working again also.

    I have a PowerShot A70, and after gradually introducing noise to images it finally "died" a couple of weeks ago. This actually looks rather amazing -- I've documented this in a short Flickr set at [] and I'll post some more information at [] as soon as I find some time... I even have some video clips made with the camera.

Advice needed please!

I am caring for my Mum who has lung cancer and is due to have surgery soon. Her breathing and lung function is v bad which has led to the operation being cancelled. She wants to buy a device called 'Breathe Easy' by Aerosure. Does anyone know anything about this and more importantly, whether it is any good? It's £149 so I don't want her to get it if it's yet another gadget that will end up in the back of the drawer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

8 Replies

  • If you type Aerosure into the search box you will find there have been a few discussions on this topic.

  • Thanks, I'll check them out.

  • Hi Blue, sorry to hear about your Mum. As Toci says, you'll get info from recent posts.

    Hope everything goes well for you & your Mum 🌺

  • Hi blue as Toci says read up on it and if it was me I would check with my Oncologist or Consultant.

    Best wishes to you both.

  • Hi

    Firstly I would ask your mums Respitory team for advice on improving you mums breathing capacity/ strength.

    There may will breathing techniques that will be suitable.

  • Many thanks for your reply. I will check out the alternative you've suggested. The only problem is she is very weak at the moment. She is doing some breathing exercises given to her by breathing through some plastic tubes.

    She was all geared up for a thorocotomy at Guys today but they cancelled due to her having another chest infection and they want her to get her lungs stronger first. If that is possible.

    Thanks once again for your advice. I've been feeling more than a little bit in the wilderness with it all recently!

  • Hi, my husband uses Aerosure. It's really good exercise for the lungs. It was hard for him at the beginning. He did maximum 2 minutes. Eventually, he increased to 5-6 minutes. The only thing you have to do with this device is to breath through the valve through your mouth. The device pumps air into your lungs. The other function is to help to cough out phlegm. It works.

    Recently I found out about Collodial Silver. Apparently it helps a lot to fight with respiratory infections. We have just started doing inhalations with the silver using nebuliser, nothing to report so far. You can make your own research online about Collodial Silver and how to use it. Then, you can make your own decision if it is the right thing to do for your Mum.

    All the best,

  • Sorry for delay in replying - it's been a full on week.

    Many thanks for your reply and I will certainly check out collodial silver as my Mum's big operation was recently cancelled after yet another chest infection.

    Best wishes to you and your husband. X

Was diagnosed with Endo in sept 2013, had lap to remove it, symptoms came back , back pain, but had really bad pain in the pelvic region which I never had before, gyno put me on prostap which has helped with the pain in my back, had an MRI done and results were that I have bilateral adnexal cysts, gyno had my bloods taken and asked that my ca125 be checked, I am so worried that this may be cancer, I have to wait a week before I get the results of the test, what else could it be. Anyone else have these? If so what treatment did U have ?

Thanks for reading

  • I was diagnosed sep 13 too, I have really bad back pain and have begged for a MRI but was told no! Sounds like you have doctors who are helping you. I also had the need to wee all the time which I never had before the lap and pain in the right side which I also never had before. I was put on amptrixiline which really helped But I was basically told to get on with it!

  • Happily I've never been told to just get on with it, my doctor is a star, and gyno is excellent, really helpful, and caring. When the pain was really bad my doctor prescribed me morphine which was excellent, I have had every test, and scan , as have lost a lot of weight, and don't have any appetite really. Thank you for your reply , its a shame some of us don't get taken seriously.

Primary or secondary

I suffer severe Primary Raynauds i am a 43 yrs old male and i have had the condition since i was 28. at first it only affected the tips of a couple of fingers in my right hand although now it affects all my fingers on both hands, i also have thumb involvement, Recently, over the last couple of months i have been suffering severe pain in my fingers when i have had raynauds attacks. also i have been woken in the night wiyh pain shooting down my left arm coupled with a burning sensation, Sometimes it feels like my arm is about to explode. I have had all the blood tests which seem okay. I went for an eye test at the weekend and have been reffered to doctors, the optician mentioned it might be glaucoma, Could this be related to the raynauds and if so could these signs be linked to an underlying disease?

Thanks in advance for your kindness

4 Replies

  • I don't think so, but you had better see an opthalmologist. Hasn't your optitian referred you?

  • Never heard that Raynauds has caused Glaucoma but it can affect the blood vessels anywhere in your body - I get migraines which is cause by the dilation of the blood vessels. Good luck Gavin ...

  • Do you see a rheumatologist? You don't seem to be on any treatment.

  • Thanks for your response.

    My Doctor has now referred me to see an opthalmologist.

    Went out this morning but had to hurry home as the raynauds attack was affecting every finger in both hands.

    So this gave me time to google my symptoms and here is what i found.

    Primary open angle glaucoma can be linked with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which can be linked with raynauds. Just thought i would share this with you, I will mention it to my opthalmologist and let you know what the outcome is. Meanwhile any thoughts i will check back.

    Thankyou again

Using Microsoft Office and LibreOffice

From LibreOffice Help
Jump to: navigation, search

LibreOffice can open and save documents in the Microsoft Office file formats, including Microsoft Office Open XML formats.

Opening a Microsoft Office File

  1. Choose File - Open. Select a Microsoft Office file in the LibreOffice file open dialog.
MS Office file... ...will open in LibreOffice module
MS Word, *.doc, *.docx LibreOffice Writer
MS Excel, *.xls, *.xlsx LibreOffice Calc
MS PowerPoint, *.ppt, *.pps, *.pptx LibreOffice Impress

Saving as a Microsoft Office File

  1. Choose File - Save As.
  2. In the File type box, select a Microsoft Office file format.

Saving Documents by Default in Microsoft Office Formats

  1. Choose 'Tools - Options' - Load/Save - General.
  2. In the Default file format and ODF settings area, first select a document type, then select the file type for saving.

From now on, if you save a document, the File type will be set according to your choice. Of course, you still can select another file type in the file save dialog.

Converting Many Microsoft Office Files into OpenDocument Format

The Document Converter Wizard will copy and convert all Microsoft Office files in a folder into LibreOffice documents in the OpenDocument file format. You can specify the folder to be read, and the folder where the converted files are to be saved.

  1. Choose File - Wizards - Document Converter to start the wizard.

Macros in Microsoft Office and LibreOffice

With a few exceptions, Microsoft Office and LibreOffice cannot run the same macro code. Microsoft Office uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, and LibreOffice uses Basic code based on the LibreOffice API (Application Program Interface) environment. Although the programming language is the same, the objects and methods are different.

Note.png The most recent versions of LibreOffice can run some Excel Visual Basic scripts if you enable this feature at Tools - Options' - Load/Save - VBA Properties'.

If you use macros in one of the applications and want to use the same functionality in the other application, you must edit the macros. LibreOffice can load the macros that are contained within Microsoft Office files and you can then view and edit the macro code in the LibreOffice Basic IDE editor.

You can choose to preserve or delete VBA macros

Open a Microsoft Office document that contains VBA macro code. Change only the normal contents (text, cells, graphics), and do not edit the macros. Save the document as a Microsoft Office file type. Open the file in Microsoft Office, and the VBA macros will run as before.

You may delete the VBA macros from the Microsoft Office file on loading or on saving.

  1. Choose 'Tools - Options' - Load/Save - VBA Properties to set the VBA macro handling of LibreOffice.

Aide de Scilab >> Simulated Annealing > Utilities > compute_initial_temp

A SA function which allows to compute the initial temperature of the simulated annealing

Calling Sequence

T_init = compute_initial_temp(x0,f,proba_init, ItMX [, param] )

the starting point

the objective function which will be send to the simulated annealing for optimization

the initial probability of accepting a bad solution (usually around 0.7)

the number of iterations of random walk (usually around 100)

optional, a data structure managed with the parameters module.

The optim_sa function is sensitive to the following fields.

a function which computes a neighbor of a given point. The default neighbourhood function is neigh_func_default.

the type of acceptation function. If the type is equal to "sa", then the initial temperature is computed from T_init = - f_sum ./ log(proba_init). If the type is equal to "vfsa", it is computed from T_init = abs(f_sum / log(1/proba_init - 1)).

The initial temperature corresponding to the given probability of accepting a bad solution

This function computes an initial temperature given an initial probability of accepting a bad solution. This computation is based on some iterations of random walk.

x0 = [2 2];
Proba_start = 0.7;
It_Pre = 100;
x_test = neigh_func_default(x0);

saparams = init_param();
saparams = add_param(saparams,'neigh_func', neigh_func_default);

T0 = compute_initial_temp(x0, f, Proba_start, It_Pre, saparams);

Deitsch Web TV: Frog en Deitscher

6 responses to “Deitsch Web TV: Frog en Deitscher

  1. Thank you for this wonderfully informational video!! I’m currently writing some articles on Pennsylvania German and your site here is proving a big, big help! It’s interesting, though, that you said Bavarians would have a hard time communicating with someone in Pennsylvania German, because I myself speak Bavarian and I am able to read Pennsylvania German as you’ve got it written here on your blog. It actually sounds very similar to the way my Bavarian family speak (Lower Bavaria, to be more specific), though there are differences, and there are some words I am clueless about (what, for example, is a Gmee? Is that a church?). Perhaps it is easier to read than it is to hear! Anyway, thank you again and keep up the good work! 🙂
    Conni x

  2. Conni, “Gmee” is sort of “church,” but only inasmuch as the Amish will talk about “going to church” in English interchangeably with “zu die Gmee geh” in the dialect. But more precisely it is the word for a congregation or church-meeting among groups of people who don’t meet in a church. The Amish, for example, do not use church buildings, but meet in members’ homes. Old Order Mennonites meet in simple meetinghouses, with no decoration or steeples or bells. A fundamental division in Pa Dutch culture is between the Gmeeleit and the Karrichleit. (Karrich is the word for “church” as found among Lutherans, Reformed, Roman Catholics, etc.). So “Gmeeleit” can be equivalent to “Plain Dutch” and “Karrichleit” more-or-less to “Fancy Dutch”.

    I’m not sure what the Plain Dutch would call Quakers, who also meet in a plain style of meetinghouse. Probably just “English”!

    Remember that Pa Dutch, like Palatine German, has a way of dropping, shortening, or altering vowels and especially of dropping off final -n. So if I restore a few of those and write “gemeen” I think you will have no trouble seeing the relationship to Standard German “Gemeinschaft”.

    Grüß aus New Jersey, USA!

  3. PS, yes “zu DIE Gmee geh”. One of the divisions between Gmeeleit and Karrichleit is that the the Gemeeleit don’t use the dative case much (if at all) anymore.

    On the other hand, most Karrichleit don’t use the language at all any more, but the few that do, still use the dative.

  4. Thank you for your response, Roland! Now that you’ve mentioned the word Gemeinschaft, the word Gmee definitely makes more sense! 🙂 🙂

  5. Hallo,
    gibt es in Deutschland genauer gesagt in Berlin/Brandenburg die möglichkeit Amisch kennen zu lernen?
    Viele Grüße

First Look At Reese Witherspoon's Bump — She Sure Seems Pregnant!

Tue, May 3, 2011 3:24pm EST by 8 Comments

Another Water For Elephants premiere and another bump alert — Reese Witherspoon isn’t doing anything to dispel rumors she’s pregnant!

Just two days after she showed off a fuller figure on the red carpet at the Barcelona premiere of Water For Elephants, Reese Witherspoon looked bumpy again as she unveiled the movie in co-star Robert Pattinson‘s native London. Do you think she’s pregnant?

Reese has made no secret of her desire to add a new baby to her brood, telling Glamour ahead of her March wedding to Jim Toth, “(I would) love to have more kids.”

And then there was the maternity dress she was spotted buying during her honeymoon in Belize with Jim, daughter Ava,11,  and Deacon, 7.

Wishful thinking, or is she dropping hints?!

What do you think HollyMoms? Are you convinced yet?

— Ian Garland

Preparing for your session

I recommend couples wear something that they feel comfortable in, as well as compliments each other. Even if you don’t like the bolder “fashion” type accessories in person, they tend to look amazing in images! But you also don’t want to look like you wear something that isn’t at all like yourself.
Engagement photo sessions are a great opportunity to get some lovely photos created before your wedding day. Many couples then use the images in personalized products like a Guest Book, Save-the-Date, SignatureMat, or for decoration at their wedding reception.I recommend going somewhere quiet if couples want to express themselves but are a little camera shy. I am open to any location if it suits the couple’s personality. I’ve had couples choose parks, others choose to start at a pub, and, of course, had many sessions can also be done here at the studio.

In Vietnam, when it comes to manufactured home models, we often think of the rough prefab concrete houses in Hanoi from the years of 60s-70s due to the housing needs of the immigrants.These houses have a docking module format, so there’s no variety in style and design. The image of manufactured homes made from the overlapped cubic concrete modules physically gets the city architecture to wear a rigid and boring face.

Architecture is mobilizing based on social progress and technology. An architectural style thought to be backward as prefab is now widely applied back around the world thanks to the advances in science and technology, design and materials.
One of the modern prefab home products with lots of improvements that meets the needs of housing today is EBS block (Expandable Building System block). EBS block is made of steel containers; it can be folded up or expanded quickly and easily with only a few simple steps of operation using remote control. The utmost advantage which EBS block provides is the reduction of internal building temperature down to 80% in comparison with the outside temperature, thanks to the new thermal insulating technologies. High-grade furniture inside and luxurious bathroom, kitchen, provide users with a pleasant atmosphere. In addition, EBS block is produced with various and attractive designs, meeting almost people’s tastes.

Consequently, the improvements in science and technology have brought prefab home models back to today society. And EBS block– an improved kind of modern prefab home- not only provides the comfort and convenience for the users but also beautifies the areas where it resides.

I'm a student at Hertfordshire University, I worked on this car for a couple of weeks. It has some way to go before I'll be happy with it, but I have other things to focus on. Hope you like it!
