Sushant Singh Rajput’s final film’s trailer is out. The fans of the late actor can’t keep calm as #DilBecharaTrailer started trending on Twitter last night, even before the trailer hit YouTube. It’s bittersweet reality that the much awaited film of Sushant won’t be a big screen release. The filmmakers decided to release the movie on OTT platform, Disney+ Hotstar, because of the uncertainty of the theatre opening in the pandemic.
The release of the film is all set on 24 July on Disney+ Hotstar, and it will be available for subscribers and non-subscribers too. The trailer for the film, which stars Rajput, Sanjana Sanghi and Saif Ali Khan, drops today. After the sudden demise of the lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the film developed a very strong emotional connection as well. The release of ‘Dil Bechara’ was postponed a couple of times between 2019 and early 2020. It was last month that the makers announced to stream it online as a tribute to late actor Sushant.
Many controversies were built and came to light during the production of the movie. As the MeToo movement gained momentum back in 2018, late actor Sushant was accused of sexual misconduct towards his co-star Sanjana Sanghi, which was later dismissed by Sanjana as baseless, saying that there was no truth behind the accusations. Moreover, the casting director, Mukesh Chhabra was also under the MeToo spotlight, as four independent incidents claimed that the casting director behaved in a vulgar fashion with the budding actresses. These controversies affected the shoot of the film.
The film is the Hindi adaptation of John Green’s 2012 bestseller novel ‘The Fault In Our Stars’. The story revolves around Kizie, played by Sanjana Sanghi, and Manny, played by Sushant. Previously, the film was titled Kizie Aur Manny, after the names of its protagonists Kizie Basu and Immanuel Rajkumar Junior aka Manny, but later on, the makers renamed it in February 2019, based on a song from the film.
The movie is a romantic-comedy with a tragic turn. The duo, Kizie Aur Manny, are on the journey of exploring life together. The turn of events reveals that Kizie has only a few days left to live, as she suffers from cancer.
The movie went on floors in 2018. The major part of the film has been shot in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, and in Paris. ‘Dil Bechara’, helmed by casting director Mukesh Chhabra.
Besides Sushant and Sanjana, ‘Dil Bechara’ also stars Saif Ali Khan and Swastika Mukherjee in pivotal roles. Presented by Fox Star Studios and Directed by Mukesh Chhabra, the film gets its music from Oscar-winning music director AR Rahman and lyrics have been penned down by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Realme X, the flagship phone that is rumoured to have a 48-megapixel primary sensor and a pop-up selfie camera, is supposedly set to launch in India soon. The new Realme handset has reportedly received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) -- suggesting its sooner-than-expected India launch. To recall, the Realme X is tipped to arrive in China on May 15 alongside the Realme X Lite, which was recently launched in India as the Realme 3 Pro. Key features that are tipped to be a part of the Realme X include a pop-up selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint sensor.
A BIS listing shows Realme phones with model numbers RMX1901 and RMX1945, according to a report by MySmartPrice. Both model numbers are so far associated with the unannounced Realme X. This suggests the launch of the new Realme phone in India. We weren't able to verify the BIS listing in question. Therefore, we advise considering the report with a dose of scepticism.
A recent listing on the TENAA site showed the Realme X with model number RMX1901 -- one of the model numbers that has reportedly received BIS certification. In terms of specifications, the Realme X is rumoured to have a Snapdragon 730 SoC as well as an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone could also have support for VOOC 3.0 fast charging tech.
The Realme X is also said to have a 48-megapixel primary sensor at the back along with a 5-megapixel secondary, depth sensor. Additionally, there could be a pop-up selfie camera. The resolution of the selfie camera is yet to be revealed, though. A Realme smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera and a notch-less display was teased earlier this month, and it is expected to be the Realme X.
On the part of pricing, the Realme X is reported to come in three different variants -- with the base 6GB RAM + 64GB storage model with a price tag of CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs. 16,400). The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant of the Realme X, on the other hand, would come at CNY 1,799 (roughly Rs. 18,500) and the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version at CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,500).
As we mentioned, the Realme X is speculated to launch in China on May 15 alongside the Chinese variant of the Realme 3 Pro -- Realme X Lite. Realme could hold a launch event in Beijing to announce the new models.

On October 23, 2017, setting another benchmark regarding MNCs trying to evade taxes, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Bengaluru dismissed Google India’s arguments on almost every ground. In 2007, the Income Tax Department, Bengaluru had put a question mark over Google India’s advertisement revenues getting transferred to its Ireland office without paying any taxes. Google India has so far transacted $231 Mn (INR 1457 Cr) to its Google Ireland office without paying any tax to the Indian Income Tax department.
Pronouncing its order in an open court session, the Tribunal, after considering all the common arguments raised in cross-appeals bearing Nos.IT(IT)A.374 & 466/Bang/2013, finally dismissed all the six appeals raised by Google India.
Google India’s Defence
In its submission, tribunal observed that Google India is registered under the provisions of the Companies Act and wholly subsidiary of Google International LLC, US. Google India is appointed as a non-exclusive authorised distributor of Adword programs to the advertisers in India by Google Ireland. Google is specialized in Internet search engines and related advertising services. Google maintains an index of websites and other online content which is made available through its search engine to anyone with an Internet connection. Under the Google Adword Program Distribution agreement dated December 12, 2005, Google India was granted the marketing and distribution rights of Adword program to the advertisers in India.
In its appeal, appellant Google India had raised a number of points in its defence for the assessment years 2007-08 to 2012-13. The company argued that it was merely a reseller of advertisement space. The assessee only performs market-related activities to promote the sales of advertisement space. No right or intellectual properties were transferred by Google to the assessee or to the advertiser. The assessee has no control or access to the software, algorithm and data centre. The server on which the Adword program runs are located outside India over which it does not have control. Google India or the advertisers do not have any right of any use or exploitation or the underlying I.P. and software. The advertisers select keywords and place a bid on the online auction. The assessee periodically raises invoice on advertisers for advertising spend incurred by the advertisers.
The company also submitted that the ITES division of the Appellant is a separate outsourcing business segment, for which it earns revenue under a separate outsourcing service agreement with Google Ireland.
The Judgment Day
Hearing all the 11 grounds that Google India presented during the course of six years and the counter-facts presented by DIT Bengaluru, the tribunal in its 134-page long judgement agreed with counter-facts submitted by DIT.
The Tribunal observed, “Even if we consider that the appellant is selling advertisement space then, at which location/ web place, the said ad- space was sold by the appellant to the advertiser. It is the case of the assessee that the ads are stored in the servers situated outside India. In our view, the appellant has not sold the storage space on the server outside India nor it has sold the identified/demarcated ad on the web site/search engine. Further, if the ad-space is sold, then the Adword program would be incapable of functioning as the advertisement would be shown to various locations, persons and targeted consumers. In our view, there is no sale of space, as concluded herein above rather it is a continuous targeted advertising campaign to the targeted and focused consumer in a particular language to a particular region with the help of digital data and other information with respect to the person browsing the search engine or Page – 61 IT(TP)A.1511 to 1516/Bang/2013 visiting the website.”
Further, it said that the argument of selling the space is not available to the assessee and the bench is of the opinion that it is not merely selling the space but it is rendering the services by making available the technology permitted by the Google to the appellant and permitting the same to be used by the advertiser. For purpose of targeted focused advertisement campaign by using the gateway of Google India/assessee. Thus the activities clearly fall within the ambit of ‘Royalty’ as mentioned in Income Tax Act and under DTAA.
Taking note of the Delhi High Court’s judgement over Sheraton International Inc’s case, Tribunal further stated, “The argument of the assessee that it was only using customer data, IPR etc., for rendering the services relating to ITES is incorrect. In our view, the conclusion of the authorities below that the use of the confidentiality clause and confidential data by the appellant was correct. Therefore in our view amount was being paid by the Assessee to Google Ireland for the use of patent invention, model, design, secret formula, process, etc.”
In April 2007, Vodafone too was embroiled in a $2.5 Bn tax dispute with Income Tax department of India. The telecom giant had acquired India’s Hutchison Essar Telecom services at $11.2 Bn that time. Vodafone in its defence went to the Supreme Court of India, saying that since a London-headquartered company has bought a subsidiary of a Hongkong-based Hutch, the tax over the transaction doesn’t fall under India’s Income Tax department criteria.
In January 2012, when Supreme Court ruled in favour of Vodafone, the Indian government, in fact, went on to change its Income Tax Act retroactively to make sure that Vodafone will have to pay $3.3 Bn tax over the same. Recently, Vodafone India diluted its shares to Aditya Birla Group agreeing to merge with the latter’s Idea in order to create India’s largest telecom company.
Monday’s jurisdiction over Google India-Ireland payment transaction set another precedent for MNCs which try to bend their balls to evade taxes across the countries. The current jurisdiction by ITAT might alarm many global companies including Apple which are enthusiastically looking for a tax waiver by the government of India.

Neil Stuart-Findlay, portfolio manager of the Investec Property Equity Fund, shares his prospects for the listed property sector
- Despite fluctuations in share prices, the sector continues to offer investors a predictable and growing income stream
- Recent price volatility in the SA Listed Property sector was a result of rising global bond yields, putting pressure on SA bond and property yields
- Property fundamentals in South Africa remain solid and distribution growth is forecast to accelerate in 2013
- Income and distribution growth will be the primary drivers of return, not continued re-rating
- Careful stock selection will become an important return differentiator in the current market environment as relative valuation dispersions increased
- The quality and sustainability of distribution growth are key drivers in our high-conviction portfolio during the current uncertain times
- Listed property is an important diversifier of an investor’s portfolio
Volatile prices despite stable fundamentals
The listed property market has experienced some volatility over the last two months. Following strong gains of 35% in 2012, the SA Listed Property Index had an exceptional start to the new year. However, in May the sector declined 11.1%, which was followed by a gain of 4.4% in June. Despite this volatility, the listed property sector was still up 8.8% for the first half of 2013, well ahead of domestic equities and cash, which gained 2.3% and 2.6% respectively.
This volatility was primarily as a result of a change in US central bank policy and not due to a change in the fundamentals of the domestic listed property market. Indications from the US Federal Reserve that they may start gradually reducing the level of monetary stimulus have shifted expectations of investors across the world and had a direct impact on domestic investment markets. Less liquidity, a reduction in quantitative easing and indications that short-term US interest rates could possibly start rising in the next year resulted in US bond yields rising. This rise put pressure on bonds across emerging markets and in SA. This in turn negatively impacted the share price performance of SA listed property stocks as valuations of this sector are directly driven by the level of bond yields.
Returns to be driven by income (yield) and income growth
Over the long term the listed property has generated steady returns from an income and a distribution growth perspective. The ability of the sector to grow income over time is one of the primary contributors to generating higher real returns for investors. This attribute differentiates listed property from asset classes such as cash and bonds, where income is primarily fixed.
In the first half of this year, the sector generated an income return of 3.1%, whilst returns from distribution growth counted for a further 4%. However, the strong gains last year from a re-rating perspective on the back of lower bond yields have abated. Following the recent correction, prices have normalised to levels seen at the beginning of the year, highlighting that the yield compression seen in the first four months of the year was overdone. In our view, current valuations are at a level which is more conducive to the generation of sustainable returns going forward.
We believe it is unrealistic to expect the SA listed property sector to repeat the exceptional returns from last year, as it is unlikely that the sector can continue to re-rate (yields moving even lower). However, returns between 10% and 12% can be achieved from current levels considering a healthy yield and solid distribution growth. Calculated from a bottom-up perspective, distribution growth for the sector is expected to accelerate to levels above the long-term average, growing at c.7.5% in 2013 followed by c.7.8% in 2014.
It is important to note the high level of stability in the distribution growth over time, especially when compared to the fluctuations in earnings from other equity market sectors. Stable, contractual lease escalations which underpin top-line growth have been the primary driver of the high degree of earnings certainty over time. Importantly, these lease escalations continue to run at approximately 8%. This is well ahead of inflation and forms the foundation for our forecast for real distribution growth over the next two years.
While it is important to note that the underlying fundamentals of the listed property sector remain solid, the recent price volatility highlights the sector’s sensitivity to yield movements in the domestic bond market. Continued pressure on domestic bonds poses the highest risk to short-term price movements in the sector.
Careful stock selection to become an important differentiator in the market
Careful stock selection is becoming increasingly important. Against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, we place emphasis on carefully selecting stocks with:
- a quality earnings profile which is resilient during times of uncertainty;
- an experienced management team backed by a strong track record; and
- an attractive absolute and relative valuation.
One of our largest overweight positions is Hyprop Investments, a blue-chip growth investment which offers our investors exposure to a portfolio of South Africa’s premier listed regional and super-regional shopping centres. These include the likes of Canal Walk, Clearwater Mall, Hyde Park and The Glen.
This segment of the real estate market has proven to be the most defensive through the economic cycle, a crucial advantage in the current challenging economic environment. Hyprop’s assets are underpinned by a high proportion of national and international retailers, which are backed by strong balance sheets. The company has an exceptional long-term track record of management delivery, where distribution growth has consistently exceeded the sector over time and results have met or beaten market expectations.
Looking forward, Hyprop has an accelerating growth profile over the medium term, which will be bolstered by the completion of Rosebank Mall in the first half of 2014.
We remain positive on the sector
Recent volatility in the listed property market was driven by events impacting the domestic and developed bond markets and not as a result of any change in the underlying fundamentals of the sector.
- The sector, driven by contractual lease escalations, offers a healthy and growing income stream.
- Despite short-term volatility around share prices, investors can rely, with a high degree of certainty, upon growth in their income, which over time is one of the primary contributors to generating real total returns.
- Growth in income differentiates listed property from other fixed income asset classes such as cash and bonds where income is fixed and currently provides little or no protection against inflation.
- Listed property is a key component of any well-diversified portfolio and has the ability to enhance real returns over time at less volatility than equities.

George & Caplin — Electronic Eulogy
((Not on label) no#, 2004, CD)
by Jon Davis, Published 2006-05-01The electronic duo of George and Caplin (AKA Jason Fredrick Iselin and Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens) has obviously been paying attention in their History of Electronic Music classes. On several of the tracks, there’s a definite vibe of early Kraftwerk, tempered with an 80s melodicism along the lines of New Order. There’s also a definite post-rock sensibility at play, with reverb-heavy sonic environments populated by minimal acoustic guitar strumming and low-mixed vocals, rather like mellow Sigur Rós. This surface simplicity and directness belie an inner complexity, for there are almost always subtle countermelodies and interlocking parts weaving in and out of the arrangements. I’m also reminded a bit of the deceptive, almost child-like simplicity of Brian Eno’s work, for example the instrumental pieces on his early solo albums. All in all, it’s quite an engaging concoction, with moments of darkness contrasted by bouncy, happy parts. Another lesson of history they’ve learned is to avoid the Pure Electronic Trap, where good compositions are sabotaged by the absence of human feeling. Live (AKA real) instruments blend with programmed ones, and all are subjected to a wide variety of manipulations, from old-school like reverb and backwards masking to new-school like sampling and quick-cut chopping. This is an enjoyable CD that should find fans both among lovers of pop music and electronic experimentation.

ETHANOL, in some circles, is a four-letter word. Ask most livestock feeders or petroleum marketers their feelings on renewable fuels, and you're likely to get a colorful earful.
Any way you slice it, ethanol production mandated by the federal renewable fuel standard (RFS) has been a significant boon to certain sectors of the agricultural economy, most obviously corn growers and ethanol refiners.
Last week's news that the Environmental Protection Agency was proposing what amounted to an 800,000 gal. per year reduction in the mandate for corn-based ethanol drew praise from ethanol's critics and stern words from the industry.
Most important, perhaps, the proposal injected some measure of uncertainty into a market that had grown fairly comfortable measuring the volume of corn needed to achieve the production levels demanded by the RFS.
"That has created a fairly narrow band of uncertainty surrounding 460 million gal. of the 15.21 billion gal. proposed mandate, consisting of 180 million gal. of expected E85 use and 280 million gal. of non-biodiesel advanced biofuels," U.S. Department of Agriculture economists Seth Meyer and Rob Johansson said. "Depending on the actual level of the blend wall, the potential for sugarcane ethanol imports from Brazil could be significantly reduced, the potential (amount of) corn for ethanol could be further reduced beyond the volume already implied by reducing the overall mandate and the potential role of biodiesel blending to meet the RFS mandates in 2014 could expand."
Based on the Nov. 8 "World Agricultural Supply & Demand Estimates" from USDA, an estimated 4.648 billion bu. of corn were used to produce ethanol and co-products during the 2012-13 marketing year, down 352 million bu. from the previous marketing year. Domestic ethanol production dipped from an estimated 13.796 billion gal. in 2011-12 to an estimated 12.899 billion last year.
"Much has been made of the recent surge in domestic ethanol production and the reopening of some ethanol plants," said University of Illinois economist Darrel Good. "Based on weekly estimates from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), ethanol production in the first two months of the 2013-14 marketing year of 2.226 billion gal. was about 7.5% larger than production during the first two months of the 2012-13 marketing year."
However, Good cautioned that such an increase may not imply any substantial increase in domestic ethanol consumption but, rather, may be an indication of net trade and stock levels changing.
"Imports totaled only 23.5 million gal. in September and were zero in October," he explained. "Export estimates for those two months are not yet available but would have totaled about 100 million gal. if the August pace was maintained."
Ethanol production in recent weeks has averaged more than 900,000 barrels per day, according to EIA data, with zero imports for seven weeks running as of Nov. 15 (Figure 1).
Based on the proposed changes to the RFS, Good said it is possible that domestic consumption could be less than 13 billion gal. if obligated parties choose to use more of the renewable identification numbers that they have stockpiled rather than actually blending more ethanol.
Purdue University economist Wally Tyner said the EPA proposal will stymie biofuel growth and destroy current incentives to blend larger volumes of ethanol such as for E85 fuel.
"I think it is a mistake to put the RFS that low," said Tyner, who recommended that the corn-based ethanol requirement of the RFS be set at 13.9 billion gal. to provide an incentive for refiners to blend and sell more E85 fuel, a mixture of 85% ethanol and gasoline that can be used only in "flex-fuel" cars.
Tyner said that level would not put undue pressure on corn prices.
According to the Renewable Fuels Assn., citing Iowa State University data, the proposal will cause a 19 cents/bu. drop in corn prices, equating to a loss of $2.7 billion to the corn industry. Based on current breakeven prices from the University of Illinois, the Iowa State projection of $4.35/bu. corn would mean a corn price below the cost of production (Figure 2).
EPA will be receiving comments on its RFS proposal. Based on past history and the parties involved, the agency should expect to get quite an earful.

What Are the Consequences of a Misdemeanor?
What will happen if I am charged with a misdemeanor? What happens after a misdemeanor conviction? Can I go to college after a misdemeanor conviction?
These and many other important questions are asked when dealing with a misdemeanor charge. Unfortunately, many people don’t fully understand the consequences of a misdemeanor conviction in Wisconsin. A conviction for a misdemeanor – especially a violent or drug-related misdemeanor – can carry serious penalties and deeply impact your life.
What Is a Misdemeanor?
Wisconsin Law States that a misdemeanor offense is an offense for which the maximum possible penalty is 12 months or less jail. A misdemeanor offense could include:
Domestic violence, like battery or disorderly conduct
Operating While Intoxicated (OWI aka DUI)
Prostitution and solicitation, and

So we all know Cassie LOVES writing books in the Shadowhunter world that she has created and we LOVE reading about it!
We’ve already followed characters in 2007 in The Mortal Instruments.
The Infernal Devices is set in 1878 (I believe).
Her next series she will be writing is set 5 years after The Mortal Instruments, so 2012 and is called The Dark Artifices.
She has also announced plans to write a series that follows the children of The Infernal Devices and will be called TLH. So far the full name has not been announced. This is based early 1900’s when the children will be around 16 years old.
Well now Cassie has revealed a new book that is set AFTER The Dark Artifices. 3 years after to be exact. It is called The Wicked Powers and followers two of the younger characters in The Dark Artifices series.
This is what Cassie said on her Twitter:
HOW AMAZING IS THIS??? I love the Shadowhunter world and can’t wait to read more about these amazing characters! 🙂

Making a speech at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant at the Presidential Complex, President Erdoğan said: “With the launch of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant’s first reactor in 2023, Turkey will have joined the group of countries using nuclear energy. We will thus have crowned the centennial of our Republic with a historic work in the field of energy.”
Underlining that they are today witnessing a historic moment in terms of Turkey’s development and the energy cooperation between Turkey and Russia, President Erdoğan expressed his happiness to be breaking ground for the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant together with Russian President Putin.
Pointing to the distance Turkey and the Russian Federation has covered over the past 15 years in bilateral relations as an important indication for the future, President Erdoğan stated that the 7th meeting of the Turkey-Russia High Level Cooperation Council (HLCC) symbolizes the level the bilateral relations between the two countries have currently reached.
Noting that Turkey and the Russian Federation act in close collaboration in order to put an end to the terror threat and clashes in Syria and realize many joint projects, President Erdoğan cited S-400 Air Defense Systems, the TurkStream Natural Gas Pipeline and the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant as just a few examples of those joint efforts.

JEX THOTH - Blood Moon Rise LP
The long wait for the 2nd full-length album is over! Blood Moon Rise is heavy and thick in the spirit of Black Sabbath, brewed with the soul of Sabbath contemporaries like Amon Düül II, Pink Floyd, Heart and Blue Öyster Cult. It delivers not only a collection of catchy doom ballads, but a flowing tapestry of cursed, psychedelic heavy metal. The album reflects Jex Thoth's expanded vision, while incorporating celebrated elements from the band's self-titled debut. Reverent while maintaining an original sound, Jex Thoth embrace all that is good from the past and shuttle it defiantly into the future. The classic song craft, weaving melodies, rich tones, and crushing drums will have even the most sober of listeners completely transfixed. Addictive, timeless rock.

Leicester, UK (SPX) Oct 27, 2015
The University of Leicester has announced the signature of a contract to develop an innovative new type of X-ray mirror for a telescope to be flown on an orbiting observatory to be launched in 2021.
The Space Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM) is a joint Chinese-French satellite observatory. Designed to study the most powerful explosions in the universe out to the era of the first generation of stars, SVOM will locate hundreds of gamma-ray bursts signifying the deaths of massive stars.
University of Leicester scientists with its Space Research Center instrumentation and engineering staff in the Department of Physics and Astronomy have developed a unique capability to make a new kind of super-lightweight X-ray focusing optic.
Traditional X-ray mirrors for space telescopes are made of solid glass or metal and weigh tens of kilograms or more. The new 'Lobster' X-ray mirror for SVOM weighs just one kilo, and so is much easier to launch into orbit.
Professor Julian Osborne, who is leading this work at Leicester explained: "Lobsters and similar animals use reflecting mirrors to focus light in their eyes, unlike the lenses used by people. We can make man-made lobster-type mirrors with the very high degree of smoothness needed to focus X-rays, and make them robust enough to survive the rigors of a rocket launch."
The Lobster X-ray optic derives from recent work by the Space Research Center at the University in making a novel X-ray instrument to study the surface of the planet Mercury. This Mercury Imaging X-ray Spectrometer (MIXS) will be launched by the European Space Agency for its seven-year journey in 2017.
Both MIXS and SVOM use square-pore microchannel plate focusing units made from glass, although MIXS has a more conventional optical design than the SVOM Lobster. Professor Mark Sims of the Space Research Center said "The design, construction and test of such microchannel plate optics have been studied by the Space Research Center for over a decade."
The University of Leicester team has secured a contract from the French Space Agency, CNES, for the manufacture of a Lobster X-ray focusing optic for SVOM that has a value of Pounds 3.8M. The final version of the optic to be launched will be delivered to CNES at the end of 2019.
SVOM will continue the work of finding gamma-ray bursts currently being done by the US/UK/Italian satellite Swift, which is now in the 11th year of its life. Scientists at the University have been making world-leading breakthroughs in the discoveries of gamma-ray bursts in the Swift era, and are looking forward to the new capabilities that SVOM will bring.
Head of Department, Professor Paul O'Brien, said: "SVOM will be launched at a very exciting time, when new ground-based observatories will enable us to learn more about these fascinating objects that will be located by SVOM. We will be working with our French and Chinese colleagues to continue to learn more about these vast explosions."

If a woman’s vaginal pH is thrown off balance, it can cause embarrassing odor, itching, and other symptoms that can be hard to deal with. When a woman uses the wrong type of wash on her intimate parts, it can contribute to these issues. Choosing a cleanser that is designed for vaginal care can make a big difference in how it works with her body chemistry.
Today we will be discussing a product called the pH Balance Wash by Vagisil. We will be reviewing this product and helping determine if it is the right one for you to help keep your vaginal pH within normal range.
What Is The pH Balance Wash?
The pH Balance Wash is a feminine cleansing product that is designed to help keep the vaginal pH in normal range. It is a gentle product that will also help keep the outside of the vagina and the area around it clean and free from harmful bacteria.
There are many different factors that can throw off vaginal pH including menstruation, menopause, sexual intercourse, and even some daily cleansing products. This can cause odor, itching, and other uncomfortable symptoms. When the pH is off for long enough, it can even increase the risk of infections due to bacteria and or yeast overgrowth.
During your monthly period, the pH of your vagina changes as the hormones cycle through. Even if you keep the area clean, the pH can still be thrown off because of the tissue being shed and the hormones that cause it. Using this wash during and after your cycle can help correct the pH that changed, and can reduce the risk of embarrassing odor and infection
This product can also help you keep your pH regular as your hormones start and stop while you are going through menopause. Because your hormones change and fluxuate while your body prepares for and goes through menopause, it can be difficult to maintain proper pH and vaginal health.
Because the pH of semen differs so much from the environment of the vagina, intercourse can throw off pH balance as well– causing odor and even itching in some cases. Using this wash after sex can prevent that issue from occurring, and can help you keep your vaginal environment balanced and clean.
How Does The pH Balance Wash Work?
The pH Balance Wash works by bringing the pH of your vagina back to a healthy level with a daily cleansing. It has a pleasant scent and is gentle enough to use every day.
Other benefits of the pH Balance Wash include:
–It contains lacto prebiotic, which is clinically proven to help balance the vagina
-Gynecologist tested and recommended
-Keeping the pH of your vagina in check will help you keep its natural defenses in tact and can help prevent infection
-Is gentle enough to use daily
-It has a light scent that will help you feel fresh and clean
How will the pH Balance Wash benefit me?
The pH Balance Wash can help keep your vagina and the area around it clean, healthy, and pH balanced. It is specially formulated for sensitive skin and will help keep the risk of infection and yeast overgrowth low
Who makes the pH Balance Wash?
The pH Balance Wash is made by a company called Vagisil. Vagisil is a well known company that sells women’s products to support feminine hygeine
pH Balance Wash Pricing
Unfortunately you are not able to purchase this product directly from the Vagisil website but you can look up stores that carry their products near you, as well as online retailers who can ship their products directly to you.
The price on the online retailers range from $4.44-$6.25 approximately plus shipping and handling
Should you buy the pH Balance Wash?
If you want to keep your vaginal pH balanced to prevent infection, odor, itching, and discomfort, want a special cleanser to use after your monthly cycle, or just want to try something new, the pH Balance Wash may be the right feminine wash for you to try. It is specially formulated for sensitive skin, and can help you keep your intimate parts clean and fresh.

Scalable mHealth Platform (MoTeCH)
Grameen Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 2011
2Paths developed a highly scalable mobile technology platform available to community health organizations serving remote and vulnerable populations of the world who wish to implement a national scale mobile health system. The project was sponsored by the Grameen Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. We successfully scaled a mobile platform first tested as a pilot project. The platform continues to be available and used today.
The Grameen Foundation is a global non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that works to help poor families increase their income, build their financial security, and protect their health using innovative technology-based approaches. Launched in 2000, the Gates Foundation is a private foundation founded by Bill and Melinda Gates to enhance healthcare and reduce extreme poverty globally.
Building on the success of a pilot project
Funded by the Grameen Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Mobile Technology for Community Health (MoTeCH) project aims to leverage mobile technology to bring healthcare to the most remote and vulnerable populations of the world.
It started as a pilot project in Northern Ghana, MoTeCH was developed as a system to assist in maternal health through the use of cellphones. The software facilitated scheduling of care for pregnant and new mothers, as well as providing health tips via cellphones regarding immunizations and proper nutrition. Nurses could keep electronic medical records, fill out forms and retrieve patient information using cellphones. The pilot was highly successful, but the pilot system was not a scalable platform that could be deployed globally.
Scaling a mobile health platform
2Paths worked on behalf of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Grameen Foundation to build on the success of the pilot and created a highly scalable mobile platform available to organizations who wish to implement a mobile health system. The platform delivers features such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, Short Message Services (SMS), and web-based systems. Organizations are able to configure and customize the platform by selecting from modules applicable to their situation, including appointment and pill reminders, a voice-message service for health-related content called Patient Outbox and systems reporting.
MoTeCH has been deployed around the world to improve maternal and child health and educate frontline workers and collect information.

Schools located in rural communities have the highest concentration of students experiencing homelessness, outpacing cities.
From Aberdeen to Zillah and all points in between, academic outcomes for students experiencing homelessness continue to be worse than those for housed students, according to our latest analysis of student homelessness data from across the state of Washington.
Students Experiencing Homelessness in Washington’s K-12 Public Schools: Trends, Characteristics, and Academic Outcomes, 2015-2018, the second edition of our Schoolhouse Washington annual report analyzing public school data in depth, compares academic outcomes among students experiencing homelessness, living in low-income households, and those in stable housing. It also disaggregates outcomes by race/ethnicity, nighttime residence, and—new to this year’s report—geographic location.
Our analysis found that on a per-capita basis, the rate of student homelessness is highest in school districts located in rural communities at 4.8%, compared to 4.3% for towns, 4.1% for cities, and 2.6% for suburbs. The data provide further evidence that student homelessness is a statewide issue in Washington.
Our analysis shows that academic proficiency gaps between students experiencing homelessness vs. their housed peers are widening in most academic outcomes, including proficiency rates in the core subjects of mathematics and English language arts. Positively, there is one exception. Although the on-time graduation rate for students experiencing homelessness remains far below that of their housed peers (56% vs. 83%, a 27-point gap), the rate itself has increased by six percentage points since 2015, with the gap narrowing by 3 points over that same span.
A summary of all of our key findings can be found on page 8 of the full report.
“Given what the data are telling us, it is evident that the needs of many students experiencing homelessness are not adequately being met,” said D’Artagnan Caliman, executive director of Building Changes.
In addition to publishing the report, we also updated a set of interactive dashboards where visitors can search and find localized student homelessness data broken down by school district, legislative district, and county.

If you have kidney disease, it’s important to know how much dialysis can be done on a person. There are two kinds of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis is done with machines that clean the blood outside of your body; peritoneal dialysis happens inside the body. Both methods remove waste products from your blood but not all wastes at once—some substances build up more slowly than others.
Dialysis is a procedure that removes waste and extra fluid from the blood when your kidneys no longer can. It’s called hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Dialysis may be done at home, in an outpatient clinic, or in a hospital. In some cases, you might need it for several hours each day. Or dialysis might only be needed for a few hours every week. Some people need dialysis on an ongoing basis until they get a transplant (a new organ). Others may only need it for brief periods of time during difficult times when their kidneys aren't working well enough to filter blood normally
There are two kinds of dialysis:
You’re right—there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer for how much dialysis a person needs. It depends on the person's condition, how well their kidneys are working and whether or not they have other medical conditions that may interfere with their treatment.
It also depends on how much damage has been done to the kidneys and the age of the patient. For example, patients who are younger than 40 years old may need more frequent treatments because their bodies can heal faster than older patients' can. And people who already have multiple health problems will likely need more intensive treatment as well.
It's important to know that you will need to do several sessions a week, or even daily dialysis. This really depends on your condition and how much fluid is being removed from your body.
If you're doing it at home, you may have someone help you every day with the process until they get used to it. Or if they are not available, then another family member can do it for them as well! It's also possible that some people will go through this process by themselves if needed - just make sure that everything is working properly before starting any treatment sessions! If anything goes wrong during the process (e.,a medical emergency), then dialysis can be stopped immediately so that proper care can begin immediately afterwards instead of waiting around until someone returns home later on down the line after work/school hours."
If you have your kidney removed, you can survive without it but will have to undergo dialysis for the rest of your life. Dialysis is a procedure that replaces the work of your kidneys. There are two kinds of dialysis:
The number of times dialysis is done depends on your condition and whether you have a single kidney or no kidneys.
How many times dialysis is done each week depends on the patient’s condition. Dialysis can be done more often if needed. Usually, it’s performed three times a week for about three hours at a time but some patients may need daily sessions for longer periods of time. There are two types: hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Hemodialysis takes place in an outpatient clinic or hospital; PD is performed at home with special equipment called an artificial kidney machine that simulates a human organ by filtering out waste products from the blood.
When a person has severe kidney failure, they need to start dialysis as soon as possible. Dialysis is a treatment that removes waste and excess fluid from the body. This can be done in many different ways. In some cases, dialysis may be done at home by yourself or with help from family members; in other cases, you will have to go into hospital for it.
For many people who need dialysis, it is important that they start this treatment as soon as possible because their kidneys are not working well enough. It is also important if they have other health problems which make it difficult for them to do things like walking around or moving around easily.
When talking about how many times dialysis can be done on a kidney patient, it is important to remember that the treatment is not a cure for kidney failure. Dialysis merely treats the symptoms of kidney disease and allows a person suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to continue living as normally as possible until they receive a transplant.
Dialysis can only be done for so long before the patient needs a transplant. When you undergo dialysis, your blood goes through an artificial filter called an artificial kidney or hemodialyzer into which wastes are removed from your blood and then returned back into your body. In this way, it works just like one of our healthy kidneys would. The process can only continue as long as there is enough healthy tissue left in the body to perform this function and replace what has been used up during treatment sessions with each machine cycle (a cycle consists of filtering all of your blood). Most people need anywhere from three to six cycles per week depending on how advanced their disease has become.
Dialysis can be a lifesaving treatment for people who have kidney failure. It’s important to remember that there are many different types of dialysis, so if you’re considering this treatment option, you should talk with your doctor about what might work best for your situation. If you do need to go on dialysis, it doesn’t mean that your life is over—there are many ways that people recover from this procedure and live full lives after being treated with it!

ForEx trading and its rules
ForEx trading is a market with some real potential. The modern world is full of turmoil, and it is perfect for currency trading. Often, changes of the exchange course can be so rapid and so drastic that you can earn and lose a lot of money. Still, it isn’t that simple to figure out all the tricks and laws that this market operates under. The world monetary system is a complicated system, and it depends on many things. The best way to start informing yourself and to start learning is reading some books or articles on the internet about this topic. There are also certain courses available, and all of that can be pretty helpful. You can’t be over-informed in these issues, and sometimes the slightest piece of information is essential for making or losing money. It is best to hire a broker for the beginning, if possible. That will minimize your chances of heavy losses, and you will be able to pick up some tricks from him in the process.
The second essential thing is strategy. Chaotic buying and selling will probably cause more heavy losses than gains. It is an absolute must to have an adequate strategy that fits your personality the best. Some people love playing risky, and they are perfectly adapted for quick decisions. They often make a lot of money in a very short time, but they are also prone to heavy losses.
People with a more cautious attitude won’t be making pots of money on a single transaction, but they will be pretty safe from big and sudden loses. Still, each man should develop the strategy that suits him the best.
Another very important thing is to determine the funds that will be used in ForEx trading. Do not use the money you can’t afford to lose. This financial market is less prone to big oscillations, but you can still lose a lot of money if you aren’t experienced or careful enough. So, don’t allow yourself to start with money you need for everyday stuff, nor should you be using savings, which are meant for children’s tuition or retirement. Losing that money can have a grave effect on your life, so it is better not to push your luck. You should only use savings that are not needed for essential things and utilize ForEx trading as a way to earn some money. Still, do not try to use ForEx trading as a way of supporting your family because it won’t turn out good in most of the cases.
When you have all of these precautions memorized, you are ready to try your luck and instincts. It is better if you include active knowledge in that equation, as it will provide much better results. Knowledge of politics, resources, and the industry of each country involved is always good. Knowledge of the economy of each country is even more important, as it mostly dictates the exchange rate in the short term.

LLCs are limited liability companies and have many benefits for those who participate in or own them. But many people don’t know that LLCs are not limited to strictly corporate businesses. In fact, there are many benefits of using an LLC for real estate business.
The Benefits of Using an LLC for Real Estate: Protect Your Personal Finances
LLCs are known for the limited liability associated with them. When you own an LLC, you choose to put in a certain amount of money into the business. By separating your personal assets and the money you are using for real estate, you do not have to worry about losing personal assets over your real estate business.
Furthermore, when you use an LLC for real estate, you won’t be sued for your personal finances. In the rare instance that you run into serious legal trouble and are being sued over real estate matters, the only things you can lose are assets associated with the LLC.
Invest With Others
The real estate market can fluctuate frequently, so it might be risky to invest in it with only your own money. Additionally, it is best to invest a decent amount of money into real estate to see higher returns, but you might not be able to pay that using your own money.
Thus, an LLC is very useful for real estate because it allows you to more easily invest with others. When you invest with others, you don’t have to worry so much about your investment not doing well. The process of investing with others in real estate using an LLC is straightforward and easy. LLCs require very little paperwork to maintain.
The Benefits of Using an LLC for Real Estate: Better Tax Benefits
When working with real estate, you are probably making considerable profits from some of your transactions. Whenever you are getting a lot of money, you are likely to get taxed considerably. However, you shouldn’t have to pay more taxes than are absolutely necessary. If you use an LLC for real estate, you can benefit from pass-through taxation. Because you will be taxed on an individual level rather than a company level, you can save a lot of money on taxes.
If you are looking into real estate, you should consider using an LLC. Even if you are not business-savvy, it’s worth it to learn how to use these benefits to your advantage. Using an LLC doesn’t have to be difficult as long as you understand important procedures.

Wallkill Valley grad Mitchener has 'absolutely crazy week' at PGA's Northern Trust in Paramus
Corey Mitchener has been involved in golf for much of his life.
As a player, the Franklin resident starred at Wallkill Valley from 2011-14 and went onto a four-year collegiate career at the University of Rochester, one that concluded this past May. Two years ago, Mitchener made a big splash on the local golf scene, winning the first Sussex County Open by shooting a 2-over 72 to win the crown.
From an administrative position, Mitchener rose through the ranks at Crystal Springs Resort's Ballyowen Golf Club, where he became a caddie manager after starting off as a range attendant.
And just three days after his college graduation, on May 24, he moved over to Ridgewood Country Club, where Mitchener took a job as a PGA apprentice. Just this past weekend, Ridgewood -- which is ironically located officially in neighboring Paramus -- hosted the PGA's Northern Trust, the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs that annually puts a bow on the PGA Tour season.
The experience was eye-opening for Mitchener, who was exposed to and involved in the behind the scenes operation of a golf tournament that began two months before the pros and TV cameras arrived.
Work on the course itself began in June, as did ordering merchandise, along with ongoing ticket sales.
"(Ridgewood) started setting up for the tournament back in June, and a lot of members were confused as to what's going on," said Mitchener. "I'm used to just showing up to a golf tournament as a fan, but you're essentially building a mini-city on the course. It's amazing how much time and effort needs to be put in to run a tournament like this."
Two Sundays ago marked the beginning of Northern Trust week, and that brought 16 hour work days for Mitchener. While the public is not allowed on the course until an open practice session on Wednesday, golfers participating in the tournament arrive as early as Sunday and can play 18 holes.
"A big part of those first few days is making sure the optics of the course look good and the greens are smooth from a golf perspective," said Mitchener.
According to Mitchener, there are three different components that go into running a major golf tournament.
The first is the golf club that hosts the tournament itself, the side of the operation he was a part of with Ridgewood. The next, of course, is the PGA itself, which brings a staff of its own and a small army of volunteers to help with crowd control and the like.
"That's another incredible thing I learned with the PGA," Mitchener says. "They bring in hundreds of volunteers who also love golf and want to be involved, and all weekend they are a huge help."
On his own time, Mitchener is taking courses to become a certified member of the PGA, which will even require him to travel to Florida at one point to do so.
Television is the other major element involved in a tournament, and as any golf fan who has attended one will attest, the CBS crew is all over the course during the action.
"The biggest difference between us compared to CBS and the PGA is how rare it is to host a tournament," said Mitchener. "The tour only comes to Ridgewood every few years, so it's a unique challenge from our end. The PGA and CBS have a tournament literally every weekend. They essentially have it down to a science."
Mitchener had an opportunity to take in the action throughout the weekend at various times on each day, including down the Northern Trust's home stretch on Sunday night.
"Having a chance to watch Tiger Woods tee off from less than 10 feet away from you or watching Bryson DeChambeau grind out the title shooting 18-under is an unbelievable experience as a golf fan," Mitchener explained.
After the event, in a classy sign of appreciation, DeChambeau met the entire Ridgewood staff and took photos with them.
While exhausting at times, Mitchener's first week on the staff of a professional golf tournament was one he appreciates.
"It was absolutely crazy all week, Mitchener said. "But to put in all these hours for an entire week, you do need to have a love for the sport, and I definitely still do."
