A Digital Devil

Everyone who kept chihuahua at home or met one on his way knows how vexatious this little doggy can be. It can sometimes drive you mad with its relentless and mindless yapping and occasional ankle-biting. There is a reason why chihuahua behaves in this way. Its neurotic display of aggression compensates for its small size and extreme fragility. Actually, the little doggy is so delicate that you can crush it by accidentally sitting on it. Its posturing serves the purpose of letting the whole world know that chihuahua is a big bad dog.

A devil is no joke. This monster can drag your precious soul to hell and cast it into the fiery pit of flames. You can meet one also online. The only difference is that a digital devil resembles chihuahua with his/her behavior. Digital devils are on all kinds of internet venues but if a digital devil joins a Satanic forum, his aim is to prove to everyone how adversarial and antinomian he is because we all know that the internet is a serious business. He does it by constantly yapping at your feet, not exactly biting your ankles, just pulling your shoes. It’s an attempt to outsmart bigger forum dogs or avoid being called out on one’s bullshit. Sometimes, after losing a debate, the digital devils flee to their blogs where they indulge in happy yappy fest, obsessing over this person or that person and, like a broken record,  regurgitating the same crap over and over again. The whole thing is to remind everyone how nefarious and diabolical they are, just in case anyone fails to notice.

Like chihuahua is a ball of nerves, a digital devil is governed by his emotions. It’s very easy to piss him off and cause him to have a hissy fit even if if you meant no offense. He will call you vile names and accuse you of some ridiculous shit and once he calms down, he will say that it is just you being mean.

However, it would be a gross mistake to take a digital devil’s tantrum for genuine evil or even hostility. Behind the loud yapping of chihuahua there is a deep, if not obsessive, need for love and affection. And there is also fear. Let’s not forget about fear. These little dogs are afraid of everything and everybody. The same is with a digital devil. All he needs is recognition, acceptance and covering up his own insecurities.

Sadly, this blog angered a few chihuahuas who thought it was unfair and thus decided to yap up quite a storm file a complaint. Here it is:

One thought on “A Digital Devil

  1. Most eloquently put. Love your style of writing. The subject matter is very relevant. Social media have turned many people into digital chihuahuas barking at everything and everyone. Indeed, fear of the Real is what they are trying to hide so anxiously, yet their display is only vulgar and honestly shallow. How about some Silence? Something that has been forgotten and is being frowned upon. I may not be living on the countryside I thoroughly enjoy the Silence of the sleeping city a few hours before rush hour. For me a most Sacred moment and time for reflection and please no barking. Thank you for your writings.

“The Era of Bajirao” by Dr. Uday Kulkarni – A Book Review

Posted in History, Uncategorized by Amit Paranjape on January 8, 2017

Bajirao was one of the most significant figures of 18th century Indian History. Unfortunately, many who rely on popular history books and school textbooks would not be aware of his two decades reign from 1720-1740, and his amazing achievements. This is true not just of Bajirao, but of the entire 18th century Maratha History. Often history narratives in India transition from 17th Century Mughal Era to 19th Century British Era, largely ignoring the 18th Century Maratha Empire – an empire which at its peak covered a large part of present day India.

A lot of Maratha History has not been widely translated into English and other languages. “The Era of Bajirao” – Dr. Uday Kulkarni’s excellent new book, which chronicles the life of Bajirao, will hopefully fill in some of this knowledge gap about Maratha History. This book was released in Pune today. The chief guests at the publication ceremony were Babasaheb Purandare, Air Marshal (Retd.) Bhushan Gokhale and Prof. Raja Dixit.

‘The Era of Baji rao” is a proper well researched history book, filled with numerous references and quotes from original letters, treaties, ‘Bakhars’ and other reference books. Unlike many ‘popular’ history books, this book has plenty of hard data, and doesn’t draw too many conclusions. The data, facts from original sources are presented to the readers to draw their own inferences. Dr. Kulkarni was researching this book for over two years. His previous book ‘Solstice at Panipat’ (Published in 2011) about the 3rd Battle of Panipat, was very well received and has had multiple editions/reprints.

A practicing surgeon, a retired navy officer, a journalism graduate, a historian – Dr. Kulkarni has a very interesting background. He has his own history library of over four hundred rare reference books. He has also spent countless hours, researching hard to find references in libraries in India and UK. Three years back, he was able to find a rare original document (Panipat Bakhar) in a library in London, which had gone ‘missing’ for over 150 years. I have been fortunate to have known Dr. Kulkarni for over five years, and it is always great to have long discussions with him on Maratha History.

The “Era of Bajirao” starts with a review of volatile history period in the ‘Deccan’, post the death of Shivaji in 1680. Aurangzeb shifted his base southwards in 1681, with a goal of complete conquest of the Deccan. What began was a 27 year war that ended only in 1707 with the death of Aurangzeb. Shahu (Sambhaji’s son), who was in Mughal captivity, was released after Aurangzeb’s death. Shahu set up his base in Satara, and appointed Balaji Vishwanath as his ‘Peshwa’ (Prime Minister) in 1713. Following Balaji Vishwanath’s death, his son Bajirao was appointed to this post. Bajirao was only 20 years old then. This appointment was not a pure hereditary appointment – Shahu had seen Bajirao in action and was impressed with his capabilities.

Bajirao’s reign began in 1720, and in a short span of 20 years, before his untimely death at the age of 40, he had expanded the Maratha power across Central India. He expanded the ‘Swarajya’ established by Shivaji, into a ‘Samrajya’, and was at the ‘Gates of Delhi’ multiple times. The 1720 and 1740 political power maps of India look quite different. Even though Bajirao built the Shaniwarwada and shifted his base to Pune, he didn’t spend a lot of time there. He was constantly on campaigns. The Shaniwarwada and Pune became much more important during the reigns of later Peshwas.

Dr. Kulkarni’s book goes into good detail of Bajirao’s many campaigns. The key ones being his multiple battles with the Nizam, the Malwa expansion, the ‘race’ to Delhi, and the campaign against the Portuguese in Konkan. Bajirao was constantly on the move, and it is interesting to note the numerous tactical and strategic wins he was able to achieve. Having never lost a major battle, his army’s speed & mobility were often his biggest assets.

“…The difference lay in that he knew when to fight as well as where to fight. More important, he knew when not to fight. Mobility was Bajirao’s forte, like the wind he could not fight without space for movement” – Dr. Uday Kulkarni

The Battle of Palkhed in 1728 is considered to be one of the great cavalry battles of the 18th century, and has been studied extensively by military strategists. The chessboard like fast moves executed by Bajirao against the Nizam culminated in the entrapment and surrender of larger, heavily equipped Nizam army on the banks of Godavari at Palkhed. This battle victory really helped establish the foundation of Bajirao’s legacy. (On a related note – Dr. Kulkarni gave an excellent lecture last year at Vasant Vyakhyanmala in Pune, on this battle).

Bajirao made multiple campaigns in North India, and the 1737 Delhi campaign was an important one. As large Mughal armies were advancing on him, Bajirao made another of his lightning moves, bypassed the adversaries and surprised and shocked everyone by ending at the gates of Delhi. He had no interest in staying there for long, and after the getting the desired terms from the Mughals, headed back as quickly has he had arrived in Delhi. He wanted to make a point regarding his strength. This campaign highlighted the weakness of the Mughal Emperor in Delhi. The Nizam was heading to Delhi to support the emperor, but was defeated by Bajirao at the Battle of Bhopal. This campaign again highlighted Bajirao’s strategy and speed.

Many historians have focused on Bajirao as a great general and military strategist (which he was), but reading the many references (letters, treaties) in Dr. Kulkarni’s book, the reader will realize the strengths of Bajirao as a ‘diplomat’.

“Bajirao had the head to plan and the hand to execute” – Grant Duff (Dr. Kulkarni reference to one of popular quotes by British Historian Duff, who wrote the Maratha History in early 19th century)

Bajirao got great support from Malharji Holkar, Ranoji Scindia, Pilaji Jadhav and others. Chimaji Appa, Bajirao’s younger brother was his key asset throughout his entire reign. They were together on some key campaigns, and Chimaji also led some important campaigns by himself. The top one among these was the Konkan campaign against the Portuguese from 1737-39. The Portuguese were unleashing religious oppression on the local population and there were many calls for help by the locals.

The final battle of this campaign was the attack on the key fort of Vasai. The fort had excellent defenses and was very well guarded by the Portuguese. After a long and hard battle, the fort finally fell in May 1739.

As a result of this battle and the following treaty, the entire island of ‘Sasthi’ (Salcette) (present day North/Central Mumbai), Thane, Northern Konkan area came under the control of the Marathas. The Portuguese territories remained restricted to Goa and Daman.

Only the island of Mumbai remained with the English. Note, the English were largely ‘neutral’ in this battle between the Marathas and the Portuguese.

If not for that this victorious campaign by Chimaji Appa, it is possible that large parts of present day greater Mumbai would have remained with the Portuguese, well into the British Era (just like Goa).

No story of Bajirao can be complete without a discussion about Mastani. The recent popular Bollywood film did generate a lot of good interest about Bajirao. Without getting into the historical accuracies debate, the film did raise some awareness about this era of history. Dr. Kulkarni’s book has a chapter on Mastani and Bajirao’s family issues, especially towards the end of 1730s. Here again, plenty of actual references (not speculations or popular ‘legends’) are provided.

Dr. Kulkarni has made the river Narmada a central ‘character’ in the book and ‘the river’ presents a summary at the beginning of every chapter. The Narmada has been a North-South divide for many centuries of Indian History. For Baji rao, the Narmada was initially a frontier, and later on the starting point of northern expansion. He crossed the river numerous times in his hectic series of campaigns. His untimely death also happened at the banks of the Narmada on April 28, 1740. He was cremated on the banks of the river, and today his Samadhi sits there at Ravarkhedi (in Madhya Pradesh, near Indore).

For anyone interested in serious history, Dr. Uday Kulkarni’s “The Era of Bajirao” provides hundreds of references. There is a good collection of images (paintings from various museums/libraries). There are many geographical and battle plan maps as well – though these maps could have been a bit better. As I mentioned earlier, this is an excellent work of detailed research. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in not just Bajirao, Maratha History, but 18th Century Indian History.

Our Garden / 02

May 2, 2015

Vegetable Garden Vegetable Garden - Peas Vegetable Garden - Pumpkin Big Max Vegetable Garden - French Bean Cobra Vegetable Garden - Tomatoes Vegetable Garden - Cabbages Vegetable Garden - Thyme Vegetable Garden - Strawberries Vegetable Garden - Oregano Vegetable Garden - Kale Vegetable Garden - Potatoes Estima Vegetable Garden - Courgette Vegetable Garden - Basil Vegetable Garden - Franchi Seeds Vegetable Garden - Back Garden PatchI thought it was about time for a garden update again! As you may know, last year Shane and I built this raised bed and grew pretty much all of our veg in that apart from some tomatoes which we grew in separate tubs. This year, I applied for an allotment, though the waiting list in our town is years, so my dad suggested I just dig up some of our back garden instead to use as my own little allotment! I decided to still keep my raised bed out the front for things like salad items and peas, and use the back garden for main items like sweetcorn, brassicas, onions/garlic and squash/pumpkins.

I’m halfway there so far with the back garden – I’ve got a section at the back near the fence for the brassicas, then the patch in the grass will be for the sweetcorn, french beans and summer squash, and then I’m going to dig out another patch infront of that to grow things like potatoes and larger salad items like swiss chard, beetroot and onions and garlic.

I’m so happy with my cavelo nero kale – it got attacked by cabbage butterflies last year to pretty much the point of death and as a last hope I planted it at the side of our house to see if it would recover – it didn’t but a couple weeks ago I found it looking pretty good and with loads of new growth aswell, so I can’t wait to harvest some of that! Today, I’m going to plant my potatoes which have been chitting away as I’m pretty late at planting them out and hopefully I’ll get the second patch dug up! Then I just need to build a chicken barrier so that they don’t eat/scratch at everything.

I was looking back at my archives from this time last year and I can’t believe how far on everything is compared to this year. Pretty much everything I’ve planted so far has either been eaten by slugs, dug up by our cats, or destroyed by the crazy wind we’ve had lately. Hopefully now it’s getting a little warmer, everything will start to grow before the cats can dig it up.

    It’s looking great and full of tasty potential! My kale and chard got absolutely savaged by the butterflies last year too, I almost didn’t bother with them again this year but I enjoyed having fresh greens too much, need to buy some good netting! I do love this time of year! Katie x

    I’ve always wanted to try my hand at gardening but space is so limited here in the city. I am so envious of this outing and it looks like such a fun time. I guess the tiny indoor plants will have to do, for now at least…

    thanks for sharing!

    Ah! Your Kale came back?! I definitely don’t live in the part of the world where kale is a perennial; last year mine got attacked by cabbage caterpillars, and then chickens. The chickens must have remembered, because they’ve already eaten the leaves off our tiny kale and broccoli plants. 😛

    Definitely looking forward to seeing how your garden progresses!

      I was so shocked to see it growing there after I’d kinda just dumped it from it being completely eaten by the cabbage butterflies – I guess we just had a really mild winter 🙂 Oh no! I’m worried about my back garden plots as we have free range chickens and I’m just hoping they don’t end up thinking it’s all for them haha!

HiB’s Bathroom Cabinet thats more than storage

HiB’s Bathroom Cabinet thats more than storage

Recessed or surface Cabinets,

Gone are the days when the bathroom cabinet was purchased down at the local hardware store when you realized that you’d forgotten where to store your shampoo and deodorant. In those days a plain white plastic box often with sliding glass doors was all that was available.

The market has moved on with greater choice. HiB’s Vector 100cm illuminated cabinet exemplifies the progress and new thinking in bathroom design. There is excellent internal storage with adjustable glass shelves but Vector is also a masterpiece in exquisite design and functionality.

Here is a bathroom cabinet which becomes a focal point to the bathroom in its own right – with double sided mirror doors with integrated low-energy fluorescent lighting gives you an perfect illumination for applying make-up or shaving. Access to the interior is easy using chrome handles and with soft close hinges on the double doors. A shaver socket is discreetly located along with the sensor switch that activates the lighting.

Vector’s generous dimensions provide plentiful storage space with modern design suited to your bathroom. to see a large range of H.I.B mirrors and and cabinets visit our showrooom in Barnet.

Impacts of Roof Cleaning And Painting To Maintain the Aesthetics of Your Home

Many people do not realise the value of roof painting and cleaning and choose to replace their roofs altogether, causing them to spend unnecessary money. Just because your roof is streaked with black dirt or has moss growing on it, doesn’t mean you need to replace it.

Roof Cleaning And Painting

If you are unsure whether you need to replace your roof or whether it simply needs a thorough clean and a fresh coat of paint, speak to a professional that will guide you in the right direction.Here’s why regular roof painting and cleaning is needed to keep your home in tip-top condition.

1) To Avoid Permanent Damage

Roof staining organisms like algae and moss are feeding off the organic material in your roof shingles. The longer you wait to clean your roof, the more damage they will cause which will eventually lead to you having to replace your entire roof.

Roof Cleaning And Painting

2) To Avoid Mould Growth

Since algae and moss are feeding off your roof shingles, they can eat into your roof deck, causing the wood to rot. Once that happens, moisture gets in via the cracks and creates an environment perfect for mould growth. It’s no secret that mould growth in a home can cause serious health issues for you and your family.

3) To Help Sunlight Reflect Efficiently

If your roof is covered with moss and algae, it can no longer reflect sunlight effectively. Instead, the shingles absorb the heat, making your home hotter than before and ultimately increasing your cooling costs. It’s vital to remove algae and moss to restore your roof and get it back to its natural health.

4) To Make Your Home Look Beautiful

Let’s face it; a dirty roof has absolutely no curb appeal. No matter what you do to improve the look and health of your home, if you ignore dark roof stains, they will become the focal point of your home’s exterior. By cleaning and painting your roof, you can instantly make your home look beautiful again, especially if you intend to sell it.

5) To Avoid a Rat/mice Infestation

As previously stated, algae and moss = cracks where moisture comes in = rotting wood. The odour of rotting wood attracts all kind of animals, and before you know it, you have an infestation on your hands.

Now that we know your roof needs regular cleaning, the next question is : How do You clean roof?

Depending on your budget, you can hire a professional, or you can do it yourself. If you decide to go the DIY route, you’ll need to gather enough information to make sure you know what you’re doing. Nothing will clean your roof as thoroughly as a pressure washer, especially if it has a rough surface. You can also use a hose and a broom, but you’ll need strong chemicals to help remove the dirt stains and mould inside the pores. A pressure washer tends to get into every nook and cranny, making it far superior to cleaning with a hose and broom.

Roof Cleaning And Painting

A smooth surface roof such as galvanised iron would be much easier to clean with a hose, broom and some chemicals.

When it comes to roof paint, it is better to hire professionals than to do it yourself since there are many factors to keep in mind for a quality painting job. Visit to get quotes from four different painting professionals and let them help you make your home look beautiful again.

Is there a right to life for the Colo. River?

By Reed D. Benson

When environmental activists filed a lawsuit asking a federal court in Denver to declare that the Colorado River has a legal right to exist, the media took notice of a case that was seemingly doomed to go nowhere. And, in fact, the plaintiffs, under pressure from Colorado’s attorney general, recently withdrew their case.

But the notion of a river suing the government for failing to protect the river’s rights was a man-bites-dog story that got attention, appearing in outlets from the New York Times to High Country News.

This article was published in 2002.

Eve McGuire is the eight year old Horsforth Schoolgirl who has featured in several recent articles about her medical needs. She suffers from a rare genetic condition called Treacher Collins Syndrome. This means her facial bones and cartilage are not properly formed and she has to breathe through a tube. An operation can be performed, by a New York specialist, which will remove the need for the breathing tube and greatly enhance Eve's condition. Fund-raisers led by local businessman Neil Hunt are hoping to collect £100,000 to pay for Eve's operation.

Neil Hunt owns stage lighting specialists Zig Zag Lighting Ltd., and when he told one of his old clients, "Lorries" Lead Singer Chris Reed, of the fund raising efforts, Chris immediately wanted to help. After contacting other former members of the band Chris offered to play a one off concert to help raise cash. Cockpit promoter Colin Oliver offered the use of the famous Leeds venue and to promote the concert free of charge. With staff all wanting to do their bit every penny will be able to boost Eves fund which is already at a staggering £62,000 after just five months of fund raising effort.

It is a pleasant thought that if successful the operation will have the side effect of allowing Eve to pronounce the name of the band who are so determined to help her. With a name like a child's tongue twister, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry hope to combine an evening of their unique psychedelic punk with a boost of around £3,000 for Eve's operation.

The concert is on Saturday 2nd November at the Cockpit and tickets are priced at only £6 in advance. (£7 on the door)

For old fans, or anyone who has not yet experienced the energy of a Red Lorry Yellow Lorry concert, this is a unique opportunity to "Generate" a large sum to help one of the best local causes around. All achieved at the same time as enjoying the first "Lorries" gig for many years.

stain Removal

Stain Removal

Removing red stains or any other color is easier with proper stain identification.

Carpet stains come in a rainbow of colors and from many sources. Rather than try and match a stain remover to a particular stain color, it’s easier to match the stain remover to the cause of, or the type of stain.

Session 5 - build ff debug mode in Windows XP computer

I assumed that my experience on the spring about building the fox was enough, therefore I didn't worry too much to do this time, but I decided to have multiple mozconfig files and I have seen that the build in my windows vista doesn't work properly.

Now, I'm gone to my brothers XP computer and I have done this:
  • Installed MS Visual C++ Express edition
  • Installed Windows 2003 SP SDK
  • Installed Mozilla Build 1.1
I've run msvc8.bat and run these commands:
  • cd /c/
  • mkdir ff
  • cd ff
  • cvs -d co mozilla/
  • time make -f checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser // 11 min and 27 sec
  • vi .mozconfig
  • # mozconfig file for Firefox in debug mode, disable optimization
    # and using shared libraries instead of static

    mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/../ff-debug-@CONFIG-GUESS@

    # this line includes two commands that appear on
    # it adds MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser and enable app = browser
    . $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig

    ac_add_options --disable-optimize
    ac_add_options --enable-debug
    ac_add_options --disable-static --enable-shared
  • time make -f checkout // 5 min; I don't have to type MOZ_CO_PROJECT since it is defined in the .mozconfig - Last checkout to see if I've the latest code
  • Before I build (instructions )
  • time make -f build // 81min (Amd Sempron 2600+, 1,6Ghz, 768MBRam)
Let's run the ff3 in debug mode:
  • export XPCOM_DEBUG=warn
  • /c/ff/mozilla/ff-debug-/dist/bin/firefox.exe -Profilemanager -no-remote
  • Create a new profile: development
  • Select "OK", few error messages and minefield is running

Another things that I have learnt:
  • I could download a tar ball (source code compressed into .tar.gz extension) and build from there
  • For trunk builds, you can simply run make package in your object directory to create a packaged build. This will create a zip or tar.gz file in objdir/dist which you can then unpack anywhere.
  • To build a Windows installer, simply use make installer in your object directory.

My favourite Jo Malone Fragrance

Believe me no one thinks Jo Malone products are just an utter luxury indulgence more than me!  The perfumes are crazy expensive, let’s be honest a bar of soap is crazy expensive!  But the products and scents are just beautiful.  My absolute favourite Jo Malone fragrance is English Pear and Freesia.

Jo Malone say ‘The essence of autumn. The sensuous freshness of just-ripe pears is wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, patchouli and woods. Luscious and golden. A burst of enticing scent.’  To me this scent is very distinctive, it doesn’t smell like any other perfume, and you can definitely tell when someone is wearing this scent, or indeed any Jo Malone scent.  It smells a little like roses in addition to delicate freesia and fruity pear.

The perfume (£42 for a little bottle) I wore exclusively for a holiday with my husband to Florida.  It has such happy memories for me, especially as I suspected I was pregnant with my son at the time.

The candle (£42 although a little travel version is available) is just beautiful!  It’s s total luxury to spend this kind of money on a flipping candle!  I definitely only light it on special occasions!  It fabulous to use the whole range while you are getting ready for a night out and have this candle flickering on your dressing table.  Ridiculous luxury!

The soap (£14) shouldn’t be overlooked!  The only vaguely affordable part of the range is just as luxurious as the rest.  It scents your skin and entire bathroom beautifully.  It lathers really well and is non drying.  It would make a great little gift for a great friend!

The hand and body wash (£28) I think is the star product here.  I use as a hand wash exclusively (only for me!) and as a shower gel for a night out.  The scent lasts for ages on my hands, it’s just strong enough that you notice it throughout the day.

Loves – beautifully scented, I just adore this scent and these products

Not so Loves – the price is just extauionate, a serious luxury investment!

Overall –  I love to show off with a Jo Malone candle as a centrepiece to a beautifully dressed dinner table.  If I could afford a candle, diffuser and room spray for every room in my house, I would!

JACOB DOLSON COX (1828–1900)

Henry Salem Hubbell (1870–1949)1935/1936

U.S. Department of the Interior Museum

U.S. Department of the Interior Museum

Jacob Cox was a major general in the Union Army under General Ulysses S. Grant during the Civil War. He had already practiced law and been a school superintendent and state senator, but Cox's military distinctions advanced his political career, and he was elected for a single term as governor of Ohio in 1865. Cox was teaching law in Cincinnati when now President Grant tapped him to serve as his secretary of the Interior. Since Cox had been born in Canada, he was the Department's first foreign-born secretary. Cox was an ardent supporter of civil service reform and introduced a merit system. A Board of Indian Commissioners was established, and Cox personally believed in honoring tribal treaties. Grant and Cox were increasingly at odds on policy, however, and Cox ultimately resigned when it became clear that Grant's support for him had waned. Cox went on to serve a term in Congress and then became involved in academia and wrote several books on the Civil War.

Title:A Framework of Sparse Online Learning and Its Applications

Abstract: The amount of data in our society has been exploding in the era of big data today. In this paper, we address several open challenges of big data stream classification, including high volume, high velocity, high dimensionality, high sparsity, and high class-imbalance. Many existing studies in data mining literature solve data stream classification tasks in a batch learning setting, which suffers from poor efficiency and scalability when dealing with big data. To overcome the limitations, this paper investigates an online learning framework for big data stream classification tasks. Unlike some existing online data stream classification techniques that are often based on first-order online learning, we propose a framework of Sparse Online Classification (SOC) for data stream classification, which includes some state-of-the-art first-order sparse online learning algorithms as special cases and allows us to derive a new effective second-order online learning algorithm for data stream classification. In addition, we also propose a new cost-sensitive sparse online learning algorithm by extending the framework with application to tackle online anomaly detection tasks where class distribution of data could be very imbalanced. We also analyze the theoretical bounds of the proposed method, and finally conduct an extensive set of experiments, in which encouraging results validate the efficacy of the proposed algorithms in comparison to a family of state-of-the-art techniques on a variety of data stream classification tasks.

Victor Moses Should Decide If He Wants to Play Football Or Not – Keshi

Nigeria Head coach, Stephen Keshi has explain why he left out Victor Moses from Nigeria’s AFCON 2015 qualifiers against Congo and South Africa because the forward has lost form.

Victor Moses, who has joined English
Premier League side Stoke City was
conspicuously missing from Keshi’s 23-
man squad released on Tuesday for next
month’s AFCON qualifiers against Congo
and South Africa.
“I watched Victor Moses at Chelsea’s pre-
season and he seemed to be struggling as
he had limited play time with the club,”
Keshi told only
“Now that he has joined Stoke City, I
think he needs time to get back to the
player we know him to be.
“I think it’s time he made up his mind
what he wants, if he wants to play football
or not.”

After emerging as one of Nigeria’s top
stars at last year’s Africa Cup of Nations in
South Africa, Victor Moses missed the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil on account of injury, before he struggled to make an impact at the recent World Cup.
Last season, he endured a torried time at
Liverpool after he was shipped out on
loan by Chelsea and this season, he has
again been released on loan to Stoke City
as he does not figure in Jose Mourinho’s

“We are not quarrelling, we just have
disagreement on how to govern the
country. I have huge respect for him. He
is the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces and he should be the only person
to tell us how to bring Chibok girls back.”
Amaechi, who indicted the Presidency of
inciting Muslims and Christians against
one another in an attempt to win election
by all means come 2015, stated this when
he featured on a Kaduna-based Liberty
Radio weekly programme, ‘Guest of the

He added that there was the need for the
government to work with everybody,
especially the locals in order to know who
and where the insurgents live, reiterating
that it was the failure of the government
in the first place.
Using the Niger-Delta militancy as a case
study, he said, “It took me just two
months to deal with militancy in Port

Ebola – Two Nigerians Tested In Vietnam

Vietnam is testing two Nigerians for the deadly Ebola virus after they arrived on a flight to Ho Chi Minh City showing symptoms of fever.

The pair were displaying no other symptoms but have been sent to the southern city’s Tropical Diseases Hospital for isolation, the country’s health ministry said in a statement released late Tuesday.

Airline passengers sitting next to the pair – who travelled to Vietnam on Monday from Nigeria via Qatar – have been advised to monitor their health conditions.

Vietnam has introduced mandatory temperature checks at its two major international airports in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in a bid to prevent passengers bringing the deadly virus into the country.

The global death toll from Ebola stands at 1229, with the bulk of cases in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

The medical charity MSF has said the outbreak is moving faster than aid organisations can handle, while the World Health Organization said the scale of the epidemic had been vastly underestimated.

How to propose a girl u met for first time and collected her phone number ,after chatting with her asking how is she feeling wat next to make her feel lyk continue talking to you
asked in Love and Relationship

1 Answer

0 votes

Step 1. Get to know her If you want help on how to propose to a lady for relationship, you should know that blurting out ‘I love you’ to random anyone isn’t an option. And I’m hoping you didn’t consider doing anything of that sort. The key to asking a lady for a relationship also means asking for her commitment on something mutual. And commitments aren’t easy to give or ask. So try to take things smooth and steady. Try to get to know her. I’m assuming you two aren’t friends yet and so the first tip would be to become one. To do that, you need to know her likes and dislikes, and a few little things about her. Talk to her so that she starts being comfortable around you. Talk to her regularly and don’t forget to add a touch of flirting in the conversation. Just keep in mind that you shouldn’t get overboard. Adjust to her level of comfort with you, and don’t force your flirting on her. Step 2. Ask her contacts when she's ready Once she’s comfortable with you, it’s a good time for you to ask for her number. Being in contact is easier now that we have Facebook and Whatsapp. Start your chat with something interesting like “Hey there, James here. Not Bond, James Hayden. Remember?” Say something that compels her to reply. This will help your friendship become reliable. You two can now talk when you meet and even when you don’t. Keep the flirty nature on. You’re here on a different mission; not to be her best male friend. Step 3. Adapt to each other Don’t jump on asking her out on a date yet. Assuming that both of you are good friends by now, if you haven’t already; get to know her friends and let her know yours. The fun part is to go for a movie or mini adventure with her and some friends. During that period, put all your attention on her. Don’t keep staring at her like a murderer. Just try to let her feel you’re there for her. And hey, getting to know her friends wasn’t just to go out together. The point is that friends always perceive things. Her friends will notice how you have been attending towards her and probably tease her. Teasing has helped build quite a few relationships. It’s an added charm on all your hard work. Once the teasing has gone for a few days, it’s time for you to ask her out. If everything is going as intended, you can assume her answer to be a ‘yes’. Now it can be just the two of you at times. Step 4. Start asking her out It’s important for two of you to be alone when you ask her out. If there are others around, she might not feel comfortable enough to agree. A girl needs space and time to think. So don’t rush things. We’re here in this part only by imagining that you two are good friends and hang out together. Keep her smiling by using that creative sense of humour you possess. Don’t spoil things by making weird or ugly PJs you looked up on the internet. Try to make situational jokes. They go better. Step 5. Prepare for your girlfriend proposal Don’t ask how to propose to your girlfriend with a promise ring; we aren’t there yet. Decide a place similar to you so that you don’t freak out when trying to propose. Pick a place beforehand. Start with your usual small talks so that she doesn’t get a weird vibe from you. Girls are smart and they can guess what’s cooking just by looking at you. A good advice would be to make her laugh by cracking good jokes. That’s when you break the egg. While she is still having a fun time laughing at your jokes, start telling her how you feel when she’s around. Tell her some of the best memories you’ve made. Tell her something like “I like you a lot. Would you like to go out on a date with me?” Don’t push it. Give her a while to catch her breath and let it sink in. In case she does not, it’s totally upon her. Just tell her you wanted her to know and you’re okay with it. If she likes you the same, she will say ‘Yes’. Don’t go crazy either way. Proposals are best in person. Proposing over texts or calls will never mean what you could mean by yourself. Step 6. Make a proposal to your girlfriend with a promise ring If you already know how to propose to your girlfriend with a promise ring, you don’t need to ask how to propose a girlfriend for marriage. Promise rings are probably the most valued gift to a girl. But before you reach the ring part, here’s what you should do. Plan things out first: You only live once so you can make no mistakes. This is the biggest decision one makes in a relation. Remember, you need to make the mood romantic and a memory worth cherishing. Choose a place she’s comfortable with. This is really important to make sure she doesn’t panic. A nice idea would be the place where you two first went on a date. Keep everything wrapped up from before so that you don’t need to focus elsewhere. Assuming that everything went accordingly, it is safe to think about taking your relationship to the next level, unless she has a problem with it. Before knowing how to propose to your girlfriend with a promise ring, you need to set up the tone of the air. You can do that by- Token of love: It is a nice gesture to tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life. Do that with the help of a box of chocolates or bunch of flowers. Since, in this generation there is no difference between how to propose to a Christian lady, Muslim lady or a Hindu lady, don’t get stuck with your approach. Unless you put a gun in front of her on the table, what you’re doing is alright. It’s better if you try it with the ring. If you’re in a restaurant or hotel, a seemingly good plan would be to let her finish her meal. You can give her the box of chocolates as dessert and tell her how good the time has been all these days with her. Tell her how she makes you feel and the things you like most about her. And then, you can tell her the- Three magical words: A marriage proposal can never be proper without the three words. But before everything, remember to be absolutely sure you want to do this. These words will be what that defines your love. And if you’re sure, don’t over-think and tell her what you are supposed to. You probably know the answer. And that will decide the rest of the future. If you have done everything right, you won’t regret it

AG Reyes Announces $100 Million Settlement

State AGs Have Recovered $420 Million from USD LIBOR-Setting Panel Banks for Misconduct

SALT LAKE CITY – Attorney General Sean Reyes today announced a $100 million settlement with Citibank for fraudulent conduct involving U.S. Dollar (USD) LIBOR, which is a benchmark interest rate that affects financial instruments worth trillions of dollars and has a widespread impact on global markets and consumers. The investigation was conducted by a working group of 42 state Attorneys General offices, led by New York.

According to Assistant Attorney General Eddie Vasquez, “Although LIBOR rates are calculated in London, they affect the interest rates that Utah consumers pay for many credit cards and variable rate mortgages, so keeping the LIBOR rate setting system honest is very important to our citizens.”

The Attorneys General alleged that Citibank misrepresented the integrity of the LIBOR benchmark to state and local governmental, not-for-profit, private, and institutional trading counterparties by concealing, misrepresenting, and failing to disclose that:

  1. Citibank, at times, made USD LIBOR submissions to avoid negative publicity and protect the reputation of the bank;
  2. Citibank’s USD LIBOR submitters, on occasion, asked Citibank personnel in other units of the bank to avoid offering higher rates than Citibank’s USD LIBOR submissions; and
  3. Citibank expressed belief that other banks, at times, made USD LIBOR submissions that were inconsistent with their borrowing rates and contributed to inaccurate LIBORs.

Given this conduct, Citibank had reason to believe that its and other banks’ LIBOR submissions did not reflect their true borrowing rates in accordance with the established public guidance.  Citibank did not disclose this to the governmental and not-for-profit counterparties with which Citibank executed LIBOR-referenced transactions, even though these rates were material terms of the transactions.

As a result of its fraudulent conduct, Citibank made millions in unjust gains when government entities and not-for-profit organizations entered into swaps and other financial contracts with Citibank without knowing that Citibank and other banks on the USD LIBOR-setting panel were manipulating LIBOR submissions.

Governmental and not-for-profit entities with LIBOR-linked swaps and other investment contracts with Citibank will be notified if they are eligible to receive a distribution from a settlement fund of $95 million.  The balance of the settlement fund will be used to pay costs and expenses of the investigation and for other uses consistent with state laws.

Citibank is the third of several USD LIBOR-setting panel banks to resolve claims following an investigation by state Attorneys General. With the Citibank settlement, the Attorneys General have collected $420 million in payments from the three banks, almost all of which will be distributed to state and local government entities and not-for-profits.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Citibank will continue to cooperate with the states’ ongoing investigation into other USD LIBOR-setting panel banks.

The settlement was reached by the Attorneys General of Utah, Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Sunrise 119: Ault Park (The Season of Solitude ft. Marc Adamus)

Heekin Overlook @ Ault Park for Sunrise 119

By and large, this morning’s sunrise was quite a disappointment! We’ve had four days of overcast rainy and stormy conditions as the warm autumn weather has been battling for control against the coming winter cold. Last night in the late afternoon, the sky broke and we had a beautiful sunset. I didn’t have my camera on me at the time, but it was full of color and many different cloud formations that reflected the sun light for a full 40 minutes after sunset. There were also several airplane jet trails that actually cast a dark shadow against the purple upper atmospheric clouds. A friend of mine took a picture at The Ohio State University, about 100 miles north/northeast of Cincinnati, and shared it with me. You can see how I may have had high expectations for this morning’s sunrise! Brent has been takings lots of pictures of OSU’s stadium at various times of the day. Check out the gallery and the new twitter feed.

Sunset @ The Ohio State University.

This morning I had hoped that the weather held and we were going to get a sunrise similar to the sunset of last night. I would have been happy with anything! But as the sun set and the atmosphere cooled, another thick bank of clouds rolled in last night. I woke up at 6:30am, a full 50 minutes before the sunrise (I was excited!) and was disappointed when I looked out the window and saw only dark gray skies. Interestingly enough, the western sky did break for about 10 minutes on my ride home and I saw hints of a whispy blue upper atmosphere, but at the time of this writing the sky is back to gray.

The gray of the atmosphere this morning wasn’t all bad, of course. There was no sunrise, but the calm and quiet overcast mornings do have properties of their own. It was cold, being in the lower 30s, but I was dressed appropriately and was armed with my thermos of coffee. The sky was a deep dark gray this morning, a color that I tend to associate with a wet cloud system that has the potential for a downfall or, hopefully, a thick snowfall. The squirrels were highly active this morning and I caught half a dozen of them stretched out on the trunks of the oak trees watching me watch them crack open acorns for an early breakfast. The darkness of the atmosphere meant that Lunken Airfield’s lighting systems stayed lit for longer than usual, and I noticed that with most of the leaves gone from the trees already, there are more opportunities for getting a different view of the valley from atop these hills.

Speaking of winter, I wanted to share an article about the work of a photographer that I recently found from Outdoor Photographer. The article is titled The Season of Solitude and it highlights the landscape photography of Marc Adamus. Now here is a dude who loves sunrises as much as I do. He treks out into the wilderness to get some incredible landscape pictures. The pictures of course are beautiful, but his philosophy on winter is what really drew me to the piece. I did reach out to Marc to see if he ever wanted to collaborate on a sunrise post, but he’s out in the wilderness for a few weeks. Who knows, maybe he’ll get back with me? The article has made me very excited to continue this project into the winter, even if it means more dreary overcast days like today. Being from the midwest, I love snow so much and the idea of exploring the new dynamics that a sunrise-over-snow brings to the table makes me excited. One of the most overlooked properties of winter that I also like is how much is prepares us for true wholesome appreciation of spring. I don’t mean that as a stab towards winter, I mean it in the way that everything needs balance, and the seasons are no exception. Winter is a time for hibernation, preparation, reflection, and harboring a longing for signs of life. I always wait for the first true “warm” day in Cincinnati because the streets fill with people running and walking, being social, and generally full of good spirits and community. How can they achieve such balance out in California with all their “great weather” and “sunny with no chance of rain” skies? 😉 I kid. But in all seriousness, I’m looking forward to the challenges that this winter will bring especially since it’ll be even more tough getting up early in the freezing cold to bike up to the sunrise only to find that the sky may be filled with clouds. Everything needs balance, of course, so these days will only make the clear sunrise mornings that much more beautiful.

Oh! One more thing. Tomorrow morning’s sunrise is forecast to be mostly clear with a touch of clouds. Today’s was forecasted to be “iffy” so it really is not a huge surprise that there were so many clouds in the sky. I’m looking forward to the first clear sunrise in 6 days tomorrow morning, we’ll see how it goes! With high humidity and low cloud cover, this could give an opportunity for FOG and/or a slow-rising deep purple sunrise against a clear open blue sky. Although, to be fair, I’m very new to these super cold temperature sunrises so it could be something altogether different. Who knows?

The Little Miami River Valley is starting to look a bit barren!

Looking west towards Lunken Airfield we see that the lights are still on after “sunrise” under the dark atmosphere

Looking back towards Ault Park. The oaks have completely shed their vegetation and the park is mostly empty aside from a single park crew truck in the Rose Garden.

When Death Knocks

“Whether it is a time of inner dignity and honor or a pitiful demise is completely reliant on how we live our lives right now, today. In that sense, the ‘moment of death’ truly exists in the present.” Daisaku Ikea

My father’s diagnosis of a grade-4 angioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor, facilitated a hard realization: over the last two years I have been a very busy writer but not a very productive one.
I would very much like to blame my phone and those confounded Facebook and Instagram and Twitter apps. After all those billion-dollar corporations spend millions of dollars every year figuring out which colors and flashing icons will induce me to retweet, heart, like, friend and share. They have to. What is Facebook but billions of posts, comments and shares written by us, for free? Zuckerberg, et al thank us for our efforts by flooding our streams with ads and dreck and junk to enhance the value of their business, which is our eyeballs.
I get it. They have money to make and might as well make it off our attention as our bodies or stomachs or minds.
Had I received something real in return, I might be happy. But I have invested thousands of hours of my life in these apps, all resulting in a diminution in my ability to focus. I lost my attention.
And I did it to myself. No one forced me to engage these applications of social media. Staring at the lemon-sized tumor in the CT scan, I realized I had been living my life like I had all the time in the world, time to spend arguing with people on a screen, judging my photographic and writing work by the number of likes or comments I got, time to spend agonizing and rewriting one stupid sentence in a 1000-word essay that took me weeks to complete, worrying about how my word choice might affect the share-worthiness of my article.
Each like or comment or share seemed like something in the moment. Over days and weeks and years they for me accumulated to few finished writing projects, or a life of no consequence. A grade-4 glioblastoma, the fastest growing brain tumor known to oncologists (it went from smaller than the diameter of a pin head to the size of a lemon in 89 days), burns up a lot of karma, a hell of a lot. So much that I seem to approach each day like a man with his head on fire searching for a lake.

When death came knocking for my father I had a choice. Run and hide in the closet or open the door and step into reality, as humiliating and bracing as it felt.
The phone went into off mode. I am in the process of buying a dumb phone for voice and simple texting. I don’t go on to the internet before noon or after 7 pm. My attention seems just a little bit wider now, like I’ve been able to stitch together two quilt squares after years of being unable to  find a thread and needle.

I have read about 1000 pages in ten days, written more consistently than I have in months and finished a two year project i had been lollygagging around on. Time has foreshortened yet deepened.
Before the arrival of the glioblastoma I believed time was unbounded. I knew I was going to die but how my death related to time, the inexorably ticking of seconds on the clock of my life, I hadn’t a clue. The tumor brought a clarity to my thinking about time.
“The trouble is,” Buddha said, “you think you have time.”
With no end to time, I wasted so much of it in busy writing, little essays going nowhere, novels started and stopped, stories left undone.
With an end to time, I have endeavored to finish what I start, no matter how bad the writing is. Nothing, not even death, can erase a productive writing life.
 My father’s diagnosis has given me this wisdom.
I know that my single human life  on our Earth, orbiting around our Sun, one star among the billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, one galaxy among the billions of galaxies in the Universe, is of no consequence. Yet I it is my life and important to me. What else am I going to do?
The busy approach got me a lot half finished writing.
The productive approach has gotten me more words and more finished projects since April 2018 than the previous 18 months.

Either way I know I will die. Death is inevitable. Today I choose productivity and completion.

JO said...

I’m so sorry you had to reach these conclusions in such a dreadful way. (My husband had this tumour, so do know how devastating it is.) I hope you can take care of yourself, and enjoy the writing.

Penny Dolan said...

Congratulations on what you have begun and what you are completing, Jay. These days - and nights - al the social media and all that news you'd like to understand and all the facts you just must find out about do make it very hard to settle, and to focus the mind.

You're setting a wise example. Good wishes for the time head, for you and for your father.

Umberto Tosi said...

A very moving, very brave and candid essay, you inspire all, writing and wasting precious time seem to go hand-in-hand, but awareness of death sharpens discernment between the two. My condolences about your father, and a salute to you.

Jay Sennett said...

@Jo, thank you for your kind words. As you write it is a devastating way to learn these lessons. Over the next several months, I am confident there will be more lessons, whether I want them or not.
@Penny Dolan, thank you so much. Attention is at such a premium these days. Rather like gold.
@Umberto Tosi, thank you very much.

A few years ago an E. coli breakout kept me from eating one of my favorite foods: spinach. I remember being stranded in Idaho Falls in the summer of 2006 and desperately looking over a menu at a local restaurant in search of something that would appease both my appetite and my vegetarian lifestyle. I swear my heart skipped a beat when I found a Pear Pecan salad made on a rich bed of spinach. I was excited to find a meatless entrée in this Podunk town. I smiled sweetly at the waiter and ordered my decadent salad. The waiter politely told me that they were unable to serve dishes containing spinach because of the E. coli breakout. Defeated, I ordered a cocktail and decided on a pasta dish sans-carne.

It turns out E. coli breakouts are on the rise again, and I am not too happy that I may have to more-heavily monitor my consumption of raw fruits and vegetables. In case you do not know, E. coli is an intestinal disorder that most commonly adversely affects individuals who consume raw plant foods that have been exposed to fecal matter. This disease does not originate from plants, as they lack intestines. Humans do not get plant diseases; they get diseases like E. coli from the exposure and improper contact of human and/or animal fecal matter.

Each year, animals are mass-produced as commodities of factory farms to feed our nation’s growing obsession with animal-flesh-consumption. Animals are bred, fed, and killed to feed and “nourish” a vast majority of our population who are affected with a phenomenon I like to refer to as Meat Fever. Due to Meat Fever, the amount of animals raised to today in factory farms account for over a billion tons of waste produced. This waste is often not disposed of properly, or is disposed into open-air cesspits that leak, thus getting into water sources that contaminate irrigation systems that are used to water our crops. Even with excessive washing and/or cooking of your fruits and vegetables you cannot necessarily get rid of E. coli that may have contaminated produce.

Recent research has suggested that even once you recover from an ailment like E. coli the illness may not be completely gone. Those who have suffered from E. coli, specifically children, can have side-effects appear up to 20 years later! Some of the problems developed are: kidney problems and failure, permanent brain damage, insulin-dependent diabetes, and high blood pressure. E. coli 0157:h7, the commonly known form of this bacterium, infects fewer than 100,000 Americans annually with less than 100 casualties. Sadly, other forms of E. coli exist that cause other health problems like Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) that can lead to hospitalization and/or death.

According to medical researchers from the University of Minnesota, there is a good chance your poultry, pork, and beef may have been exposed to fecal matter. In a recent experiment testing 1,000 samples of meat from various retail markets 69% of pork and beef, as well as 92% of poultry samples had evidence of fecal-contamination. This type of E. coli can harbor in a woman’s lower intestine then travel to the bladder and become UTIs. Over 99% of the meat, dairy, and eggs Americans consume are produced in Factory Farms. Even though many Factory Farms claim to be combating E. coli with antibiotics, E. coli still rages on. Mutations in the bacteria have begun and will continue to appear due to the use and abuse of antibiotics.

Factory Farms are a big obstacle in the fight to protect yourself and your loved ones from E. coli. Although efforts are being done to try to minimize some of the adverse effects of these environmentally unfriendly institutions, perhaps your best defense against E. coli is to educate yourself on how to reduce your chances of exposure. Here are some tips and facts that may help safeguard your lifestyle.
