Strengthening for the fourth straight session, the rupee on Tuesday gained a massive 105 paise to close at a nearly six-week high of 54.36 against the US dollar on increased capital inflows and offloading of dollars by banks and exporters.
"The rupee is riding on the wave of positive sentiments and traders are expecting more dollar inflow in coming days," said Abhishek Goenka, chief executive officer, India Forex Advisors.
"Traders are expecting foreign funds to bring in dollars ahead of the auction of foreign investor limits in government debt."
The government last week increased foreign investment limits in government debt by US$5 billion to US$20 billion.The increased limits will be auctioned by the Securities and Exchange Board of India on Wednesday.
Institutional investors have turned bullish in the last few days after the government last week said that general anti-avoidance rules, or Gaar, would not apply retroactively, in a big relief to foreign investors.
Foreign investors were net buyers of Rs. 591 crore worth of shares on Monday.
"So far the fundamentals have not changed for the rupee and the current strengthening is because of external factors," said Rajeev Mahrotri, head of trading, global markets group, Indusind Bank.
"The rupee may reverse its gains in coming days if there are no serious steps taken by the government to speed up reforms."
The rupee has staged a smart recovery after hitting a record low of 57.32 on June 22.
The unit, however, is still down over 11% from its February 2012 high.
Traders said exporters also sold dollars after the rupee broke past the 54.85 mark.

Sha'i Ben-Tekoa: "Traitors, Simply Traitors" Jan. 17, 2016
From the Mind of Sha'i ben-Tekoa
Webcast Transcript: http://www.deprogramprogram.com
Date: Sunday Jan. 17, 2016
Parasha: Beshalakh / בשלח
Title: Traitors, Simply Traitors
Copyright Sha'i ben-Tekoa 2016
"Shalom laYehudim, Shalom laBnai Noach, Shalom laGoyim" It is the evening of the 2nd day, khes beShvat, Parashas Beshalakh, tav-shin-ayin-vav, the evening of the 1st day, Sunday, 17 January 2016, webcasting from the last country in the world where Jew-killing is legit.
We had another one today. The details are sketchy. In Otniel, that's a Jewish community, a.k.a. settlement south of Hevron, a Jewish woman, 38 years old, was at home with her children when a savage, antisemitic Muslim barbarian 16 year old entered and stabbed her to death in front of her children and then was able to leave.
When the paramedics arrived, they said they saw a terrible sight. They tried to revive her but failed.
There were three other attempts at murdering the Chosen People today by murderously envious Ishmaelites, bitter ever since their patriarch was driven into exile because he was seen by his father's wife as potentially homicidal, perfectly capable of murdering her son to displace him. Ishmael surely was drenched in bitterness because as the first-born son, he was entitled to more than the second son was but because he was such a wild ass of a 16 or 17 year-old — and this happened over 3,700 years ago — he was expelled from his father's tents.
Two thousand years later, his seed managed to steal the Torah miSinai as Sarah feared he would steal the inheritance of her husband Avraham from her son Isaac. Well, his seed did steal it from the seed of his half-brother, re-wrote it and called it the Qur'an.
Still, in every generation since then, it has been apparent to anyone with eyes in his head that the seed of Isaac was more civilized than that of Ishmael, more productive, more educated, and gentler than the seed of Ishmael who is a slave to its bitter envy of the Jews. It makes him hate them for it makes him feel inferior.
So besides today's dead Jewess, three other attempts were made to stab Jews, one at the Bahad 3 junction in Samaria. There a Muslim tried to stab soldiers but they shot him dead.
Three other Arabs were discovered lurking in New Jerusalem itself, deep inside really, in Kiryat Moshe. They were loitering outside a shul/synagogue during morning prayers waiting for people to come out. Thank G-d they were suspected, arrested and found to be bearing knives.
Likewise, a female wild ass of an Arabian was also stopped in time at the western gate to Kiryat Arba next to Hevron, bent on knifing.
Still, still, we must thank HaShem for this current spasm of bloodlust by these barbarians because it is so mild compared to what we had 15 years ago.
And there was actually great news last week, even more than it appeared at the time. It was definitely heartening to follow the Ezra Nawi story, the Breaking the Silence operative pleased with himself for informing PLO murderers of a land sale by one of their own to a Jew; pleased that the seller was arrested, tortured and murdered. It was an expose, a hidden camera run by a patriotic Israeli graduate of a combat unit who had persuaded the BTS crowd he was one of them.
Well, it turns out, revealed in a piece that made me smile, in Friday's Makor Rishon, this is only the beginning. It seems that this is the first leak to the media of such material collected by the Ahd Kahn group, which in Hebrew means, roughly translated in this context, "this far and no further," in reference to the dreadful BTS [Breaking The Silence] slandering of the army of the Jewish people. Ad Kahn was started by a former officer in the top commando unit of the legendary Golani Brigade, one Gilad Akh, who with other combat veteran volunteers like himself insinuated themselves into BTS to expose these dissembling, traitorous Israelis of Jewish extraction.
He said some of them were naïve, but others real bad actors, Jews of the extreme Left angrily opposed to a state for the Jewish people. With money from abroad, they stage artificial confrontations with the army to videotape and, of course, tried to make the army took bad in them. They pay Arabs to do this, pay them to throw stones. Gilad Ach says that if not for BTS organizing the months-long, even years-long now confrontations at Bilin on Fridays, there would be no demonstrations, no rock throwing. These are hired rock-throwers paid for by BTS.
Akh makes the case that his group is doing this to prod the army and GSS to do something about such groups. He says the GSS have a unit dogging the Price Tag boys but none monitoring BTS and other groups who are troublemakers no less than the Price Tag adolescents are.
He also brought up the constant aggression in Area C via Euro-funded land grabs and the construction of new dwellings mentioned on this webcast last week.
This was a separate news item altogether. The EU is cranking out more legislation against Jews living in Judea and Samaria, against Israel in general in this regard, as the EU simultaneously trashes the Oslo documents by funding these incursions into Area C that Oslo said was exclusively Israeli territory – as it had been since 1967.
The nerve of these Europeans, the dishonesty. They are no more faithful to the Oslo documents than the savages they support with these front groups called NGOs, non-governmental organizations, which is a blatant lie and deception.
They are funded by governments and therefore are most certainly governmental agencies belonging to foreign governments that side with our mortal enemies.
Anyway, the good news is that Ahd Kahn says the exposure of Ezra Nawi was only the beginning of presenting more incriminating material.
I say it is about time for Israel to gird its loins and indict BTS and other groups for collaborating with the enemy, which is a serious charge.
This was the focus last week as well of Ahd Kahn's other video of Alon Liel addressing BTS and prodding the group to work to drive Israel out of the UN as the Arabs want.
This, by the way, led to another flap. Minister of Education Naftali Bennett and not for the first time opened his mouth and got into trouble. Rightly horrified by Alon Liel's behavior, this former director-general of the Foreign Ministry, Bennett said in a radio interview, "I'm beginning to think that the Foreign Ministry has a problem in its DNA. There are always complaints about the Foreign Ministry. There is a profound problem with people like Alon Liel who was at the ministry a long time. They ask where the public diplomacy/hasbara is. What hasbara? When you have the number one pyromaniac at the head of the system, what hasbara is there?"
Not surprisingly, Foreign Ministry personnel took umbrage and declared they would have nothing to do with his Education Ministry until Bennett apologized, which he did. This is a case where telling the truth as he did was not worth the result. It is no secret that for years Shimon Peres, several times foreign minister, ran that ministry like a private fiefdom whose staffers were Peres protégés, Israelis as Hellenistic and dejudaized as Peres himself. They are the types who are responsible for their inability to enthusiastically, when abroad, defend the policy of every government since 1967 that Israel has the right to continue to rule in Judea and Samaria so long as there is no serious prospect that a withdrawal would be beneficial.
That in fact was tried, wasn't it, and failed miserably, between 1994 and 2002.
Tragically, for years the Foreign Ministry has been staffed by Peres-ites. Bennett knows this. Lots of people do, but opening his mouth was counter-productive.
Speaking of Peres, in the German weekly the Mirror/Der Spiegel yesterday, there was an interview with him in which he agreed that "…Balestinian frustration over the absence of peace talks plays a role in the recent Jew-killing escapades with knives and via vehicular homicide. He said there should be two states and the fact there is not contributes to young Balestinians being against us, and Israel does not see the protest, only the killings."
This man has once again proven himself Israel's national village idiot.
Yes, Shimon Peres has once again shown himself to be a fool, the opposite of a wise man, a fool about people and about life. Politics for him and shallow Leftists like him means having a beautiful dream and trying to make it come true, and never mind the misperception of reality and the impossibility of the dream and the reality of history and of facts.
He reminds me of how I stopped being left of center when I realized that the views and the policies on social and political matters of the Left are intended, first of all, most importantly, to reflect well on the person who holds them. Never mind the reality; never mind the possible result. The pose adopted is meant to show the poseur in a beautiful light.
Peres went on in this interview — YNETnews.com reported it — to harshly criticize the Israeli government and Prime Minister Netanyahu, and he rejected the accusation that Balestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is inciting to violence. "Abbas is a very courageous man. I met him many times and negotiated with him directly. He wants peace and he fights terror." This man Peres is so unsophisticated in his thinking, he is likely capable of recognizing the lunacy of a David Irving the Holocaust Denier but not of this other Holocaust Denier in whom he sees a "man of peace who fights terror." This is what Peres wants to see in him.
This character Abbas has most definitely in Arabic indicated his support for the current fashion of Jew-killing among this people. His PA has already declared the Israeli Arab who a couple of weeks ago shot up that café in Tel Aviv, murdered three people and then was killed by the forces of civilization, to be a Balestinian martyr. That is Abbas's PA, which would not do that without his permission.
Yet in Abbas, Shimon Peres sees an opponent of violence, a courageous man who wants peace. This is the same Abbas who has said he will never recognize Israel as the Jewish state.
These Leftists live in another reality, as the Muslims they support live in another reality, a make-believe world. The PA, as PMW reported last week, teaches its schoolchildren that Israel murdered Arafat; the same PA whose maps of Palestine in schoolrooms show no Israel at all.
On Thursday in the Knesset, in the wake of the Ezra Nawi expose in Breaking the Silence and Alon Liel, Jewish Home MK Shuli Moalem-Refaeli, a religious woman, tabled a bill to outlaw Breaking the Silence as an illegal organization, as the Islamic Movement's Northern Branch was recently outlawed. Usually, an initiative like this comes from the Defense Ministry, not the Knesset, so this is something new.
As part of the whole issue of these NGOs funded from aboard, MK Moalem-Refaeli said that BTS is a "subversive organization acting to change Israel's policies not through the acceptable rules of the game in a democratic country but by putting on international pressure to harm Israel."
She and others, yours truly included, cannot stomach what BTS produces which is presented as soldiers' testimony regarding war crimes by the IDF in Judea and Samaria and Gaza in which the alleged witness is never named, and the alleged crimes are never reported to the IDF to investigate, which as good citizens they should. Instead, with these manufactured statements, BTS goes abroad and smears Israel's soldiers as war criminals and reveals its true agenda, which is not eliminating alleged IDF abuse but driving a half-million Jews from homes they have every right to live in peacefully.
Of course, the Left in the Knesset here remains outraged at this "offense against democracy" in their terms, like the legislation tabled by Ministress of Justice Ayelet Shaked. One Meretz MK Michal Rozin sneered, "Stalin would be proud of this bill. This is relentless political persecution. It endangers the lives of those who oppose the government's occupation policy and is an additional sign of Israeli democracy being replaced by violent fascism."
You got that? A bill to outlaw BTS for telling lies about Israeli soldiers and their alleged crimes is seen as "violent fascism."
Another MK, another woman, Ksenia Svetlova of the Zionist Union, the old Labor Party, sarcastically said, "The Right should copy the laws Saudi Arabia uses to kill people who speak out against the government. The bill is a danger to democracy greater than the dangers that the Right says Breaking the Silence pose."
How ironic, how psychologically projective. How the Left disrespects the democratic right of the people to elect a government whose policies the people support and does so in the name of democracy.
This makes no sense. What is going on in the Israeli Left since last week is their being exposed for the enemies of democracy that they are, and so they respond like Arabs. When you accuse an Arab of something, he does not refute the charge, he accuses you of it. Here they claim those who exposed them are the danger to democracy.
This is how the Arab mind responds. Call them terrorists and they don't defend against the accusation by refuting the charge with reasons and fact. They throw the charge right back and claim their accusers are the real terrorists. Here the Left accuses the defenders of Israeli democracy of being a danger to democracy.
I think Gilad Akh has got right. The GSS and/or IDF have to go after BTS, Tayyush, and other NGOs like them as aggressively as they do the juvenile delinquents among the price tag boys.
The prime minister said on Thursday that Israel needs to do a reset with the EU in regard to Area C. He explicitly attacked the EU for funding illegal building there in a "clear attempt to create political realities in the West Bank." Gilad Akh also complains that the army has done nothing about these incursions.
We are under attack from many directions. The savages themselves with their knives like today's murder and the other attempts that failed. The Europeans are our enemies. They support the enemy with cash and encouragement for their illegal building on land they have no right to; and then we have Jewish antiJews like Alon Liel and BTS who are just traitors.
Well, today was arguably the greatest in the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama, the Muslim secret agent in the White House who reached the pinnacle of his agenda. In his first inaugural address, he slapped the Jews in the face. In the next sentence, he promised a reset with Islam, and the next day, his first day at work in the Oval Office, he made his first call as president to Holocaust denying, antisemitic murderer Mahmoud Abbas.
Today was the culmination of Obama's goal of fundamental change for America, and since the Jews were uppermost on his mind on Inauguration Day and his first day at work in the Oval Office, today was his crowning achievement. He has fundamentally changed America from being exceptional for its support of Israel to joining forces with Israel's greatest enemy.
As the Europeans in their separate governments and EU bureaucracy and front NGO organizations provide the Jew-killers here with funds, so Obama today released more than a hundred billion dollars to the Iranians. It is no accident that Iran's President Hassan Rouhani — you know, that smiling moderate — said, "In implementing the deal, all are happy except Zionists, warmongers, sowers of discord among Islamic nations and extremists in the U.S. The rest are happy."
Take note that in his list of the unhappy, the Zionists were first, uppermost in his mind. For him, this deal aims above all at Israel, as Obama made his first call as President to the Jew-killer Abu Mazen. As Shimon Peres, the national village idiot, still thinks the violence here is about the absence of a state for the Ancient Palestinians who are entitled to one – oblivious to the religious dimension of this violence – so observers today continue to miss the centrality of the existence of the State of Israel in the minds and hearts of Arabs and Muslims around the world. Existence of Israel is the No. 1 evil in the world to them, and it is no accident that at the UN, where almost a third of the member-states are officially Muslim, the No. 1 topic has long been Israel and its illegitimate existence.
It is no accident as well that in the UN Human Rights Council Israel is the only permanent agenda item. Israeli is permanently accused of human rights offenses. The existence of Israel is for Muslims the No. 1 crime against Islam. The very existence of Israel is experienced as a mortal threat to the religion and the umma, the world community of Believers.
So maybe it was mildly soothing news that last night: AIPAC called today a "dangerous moment for America and our allies." Hint-hint. And it is AIPAC I had in mind last week when expressing my hope that friends of Israel in the States begin the process of composing a sense of the Senate and a sense of the House Resolution declaring that American support for an any anti-Israel resolution in the UN Security Council, including abstaining in such a vote, will be disowned by the Congress of the United States.
This guy Obama, like Abbas, like Rouhani, like all serious Muslims, is obsessed with the existence of Israel and is determined to destroy it, G-d forbid. This guy is a menace to the America he has fundamentally changed because he fundamentally does not like it and one of the things he does not like is its support for Israel. He will remain in office for another year and less than a week. He must be prevented from carrying out his nefarious antiJew schemes.

About the Author Sha'i ben-Tekoa is the author of
"Phantom Nation: Inventing the 'Palestinians' as the Obstacle to Peace"available at Amazon.com on Kindle or 3 Volume Paperback. Check out the reviews on Amazon.com Book Description: Publication Date: January 4, 2014
If you are a supporter of Israel, "Phantom Nation" is a must-read book.
If you support the putatively Paleolithic "Palestinians," you had better read this book. Sha'i ben-Tekoa skewers the myth of a "Palestinian" nation with rights to land the League of Nations specifically recognized as Jewish.
The author, hired for a research project by the Office of Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir discovered the first mention ever in a United Nations resolution of "Palestinians" in the year 1970, three years after Israel conquered Judea and Samaria,a.k.a. the "West Bank." The author also shows how this very no-name of a name, "West Bank," had to be invented for hills the Arabs never had a name for. Hence, the sterile, topographical description lacking all historical associations, which exposes the fraud that is the "Palestinian" counter-claim to land the League said was Jewish. Before 1959, when Gamal Nasser of Egypt conjured up the idea of a phantom "Palestinian" nation, the record of Holy Land history is perfectly empty of any mention of them. After Ben-Tekoa's government assignment ended, he went in search of the full story surrounding the birth of this allegedly archaic community, and the story he tells covers the entire sweep of Zionist and Israeli history, its wars and waves of Arab and Muslim massacres (terrorism) and the birth of this notional nation a Biblical generation of forty years after the League of Nations' decision. He likens the rise of "Palestinian Nationalism" to Holocaust Denial as a twin perversion of history; as our generation's successor ideology to medieval Christianity and Nazism as forms of homicidal anti-Semitism. It is our time's way of justifying the mass murder of Jews. "Phantom Nation" is also a crackling, riveting, great read.
Review From Outpost, April, 2015, by Ruth King, Board of Directors, AFSI: Americans for a Safe Israel "…When Shai Ben-Tekoa was doing research for the Office of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir on the United Nations bias against Israel, he discovered that in the period of The League of Nations (1919-1945) and in United Nations Resolutions from 1945 until 1969 there was not a single reference to the Arabs as "the people of Palestine." That term had its debut in Resolution 2535 in 1969. One year later, UN Resolution 2628 referenced the Arabs as "the Palestinian people" inventing a national identity which everyone has been parroting ever since.These facts inspired ben-Tekoa to write his meticulously researched and detailed three-volume work Phantom Nation: Inventing the "Palestinians" as the Obstacle to Peace. These volumes are packed with more information that any single book on the history of Israel. Ben-Tekoa chronicles it all–from the early pre-state Zionists, to the rebirth of the Jewish state, through the endless wars and terrorism, to the present Holocaust denial and international anti-Semitism.
Furthermore, Ben Tekoa understands the role that the Koran and Islam have played in the Muslim/Arab war against Israel. Israel stands in the way of Muslim dreams of a Caliphate with Sharia law throughout the Middle East. In this respect he goes beyond some of the best books on the conflict, including the late Irish politician Conor Cruise O'Brien's The Siege and Samuel Katz's Battleground.
The blood curdling anti-Jewish fulminations of Iran are a call for a final jihad against Israel. Bat Ye'or in her many books & articles detailed the Islamic origins of anti-Israel hatred as did the late Saul Friedman in his splendid Land of Dust.
I highly recommend Ben Tekoa's work. Phantom Nation belongs in homes, libraries, and should be studied by all Israel support organizations.

In the latest warning from the White House that it is set to unleash trade policy that will be in sharp conflict with generally accepted trade norms, most likely a reference to some form of Border Adjustment Tax, the Trump administration has warned that the U.S. isn't and won't bound by decisions made at the World Trade Organization, in outlining a new trade agenda that "promises to root out unfair practices by foreign countries" and to escalate what are already simmering trade conflicts.

Ron Paul Warns: "Second Financial Bubble Going To Burst Soon… Even Trump Can't Stop It"
By all appearances notes SHTFPlan.com's Mac Slavo, President Trump is doing his damnedest to turn around the economy, revitalize jobs and bring back prosperity. But the larger trends are already in place; the cycle is turning, and the bust cannot be put off forever.Federal Reserve policy has literally set the country up for collapse, and though the central bank has been very creative in making the impossible work, and putting off disaster, nothing can hold back the flood forever.
Unfortunately, it looks like Trump may be blamed for a financial crisis that he didn't cause. Analysts, including notably Brandon Smith, may be correct in pinpointing the attempt to use the new and highly controversial president as a scapegoat for the dirty work of the bankers.
The conditions are there, and the consequences were built in when the bubble was still being pumped up. Someday it will burst. When, how, and how bad remains to be seen.
If former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) is correct, an Economic Doomsday is here. The second financial bubble is going to soon burst, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. That's because, as Paul stated, the Federal Reserve has set up the American economy for financial collapse for printing trillions of dollars back in 2008 and 2009. Continue reading
China eyes 'The Art of War' as Trump signals battle on trade
BEIJING – There's a Chinese saying that stems from the philosophy in Sun Tzu's ancient text "The Art of War": You can kill 1,000 enemies, but you would also lose 800 soldiers.
Centuries later, the proverb is suddenly apt again, being mentioned frequently in discussions around Beijing. Now, it highlights the potential damage U.S. President-elect Donald Trump could inflict if he makes good on his threat to start a trade war with China, the world's second-biggest economy.
Having backed off some other campaign pledges, it's unclear if Trump will end up slapping punitive tariffs on China — and Beijing has signaled some optimism he will be more pragmatic in office. Still, the message from China is that any move to tax Chinese imports would bring retaliation: The U.S. economy would take a hit and America would damage its long-standing ties with Asia. Continue reading
China is ready to pounce if Trump axes Pacific trade deal
If Donald Trump turns his back on Asian economies, China is ready and willing to step into the vacuum.
During the election campaign, Trump blasted international trade deals, tapping intoa deep well of popular anger over the effects of globalization. Now, President-elect Trump's first victim could be the huge Pacific trade agreement that he slammed as a "disaster done and pushed by special interests who want to rape our country."
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was a key plank of President Obama's push to boost U.S. influence in Asia. But now it looks doomed, with Congress refusing to ratify it and Trump having vowed to kill it. Continue reading
Germany's Leading Role
The Trans-Pacific Partnership: Death of Western Sovereignty
(TRUNEWS) On February 4, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is set for formal signature in New Zealand.
The TPP is a global version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which has been negotiated in secret for the last seven years and would place centralized regulation on 40 percent of the world's economy.
NAFTA and GATT had a catastrophic effect on U.S. business competitiveness, and domestic export values, upon implementation in the 90's, a trend the TPP is likely to follow. Continue reading
It's not checkmate yet: Beijing to counter US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact
China to speed up talks on regional accord in face of landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership deal
China will seek to quicken the pace of its free-trade negotiations with other Asia-Pacific economies to counter a mammoth Washington-led trade pact in the region, observers say.
The United States and 11 other countries that in total make up 40 per cent of the world's economy scored a landmark Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) deal in Atlanta on Monday.
Debt, War and Empire By Other Means
This is how the Fourth Reich is coming to be. If you're still looking for Nazis, you're 70 years too late. The German hegemony is conquering through other means.
"You have not anchored Germany to Europe,… You have anchored Europe to a newly dominant, unified Germany. In the end, my friends, you'll find it will not work."
– Margaret Thatcher
How right she was.
This video below may help one to understand some of the seemingly obtuse demands from the Troika with regard to Greece.
The video is a bit dated, but the debt scheme it describes remains largely unchanged. The primary development has been the creation of an experiment called the European Union and the character of the targets. One might also look to the wars of 'preventative intervention' and 'colour revolutions' that raise up puppet regimes for examples of more contemporary economic spoliation.
Kuhner: Obamatrade would destroy America
President Obama is on the verge of creating the New World Order. He is using Trade Promotion Authority — otherwise known as "fast track" — to pass his globalist dream: the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a sweeping 12-nation trade pact.
The TPP, however, is much more than about "free trade." It is a deliberate attempt to create a new Pacific Union — a supranational entity modeled on the European Union. It is an embryonic political and economic union that, if implemented, would destroy U.S. sovereignty, flood America with unlimited immigration and subordinate the Constitution to an unelected, unaccountable international tribunal.
Yet, Republicans in Congress, who were swept into office to curb Obama's imperial presidency, are betraying their voters — and their country. Continue reading
"Obama Is Destroying Europe", "Dragging It Into A Crusade Against Russia" Says Former French PM
Für deutsche Leser die Ihre Nachrichten auf Deutsch lesen möchten oder Leute, die Deutsch verstehen kann, klicken Sie bitte den Link ganz unten auf.
A large portion of the English translated version will remain here.
While on the surface the European leaders of G-7 nations are all smiles in their photo-ops next to US president Barack Obama, there is an unmistakable tension and simmering resentment at the US for forcing Europe into America's personal crusades.
"Today, Europe is not independent… The US is drawing us [the EU] into a crusade against Russia, which contradicts the interests of Europe," said the former French Prime Minister Fillon while the chief economist at Bremer Landesbank adds that as a result of US policies "unmeasurable damage lies in an elevated geopolitical risk situation for the people in the EU."

Leaked TISA Documents Reveal Privacy Threat
Under the draft provisions of the latest trade deal to be leaked by Wikileaks, countries could be barred from trying to control where their citizens' personal data is held or whether it's accessible from outside the country.
Wikileaks has released 17 documents relating to the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), currently under negotiation between the US, the European Union and 23 other nations. These negotiating texts are supposed to remain secret for five years after TISA is finalized and brought into force. Continue reading
Vladimir Putin: oil price decline has been engineered by political forces
As slumping oil prices dampen Russia's economic outlook, the country's President has said that "at some moments of crisis it starts to feel like it is the politics that prevails in the pricing of energy resources".
Recent tumbles in the value of oil on global markets have been the creation of politicians, Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, suggested on Thursday.
"The obvious reason for the decline in global oil prices is the slowdown in the rate of [global] economic growth which means consumption is being reduced in a whole range of countries", Mr Putin said. Continue reading
Japanese strategist says Obama's power is waning in Asia
Japanese business strategist Kenichi Ohmae said on April 29 that Taiwan may not benefit much from US president Barack Obama's rebalancing strategy in the Asia-Pacific as Obama has less than two years left in office, and that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) could be a disaster. Continue reading
US and China: The Fight for Latin America
According to Robert Valencia, China is vying for greater economic influence in Latin America, to include possibly constructing and operating an alternative 'Panama Canal' through Nicaragua. One unanticipated consequence of this burgeoning US-China rivalry, Valencia observes, is that it might push Latin American countries closer together.
During the first weekend of June, U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in California to discuss cyber espionage and territorial claims in the Pacific Rim. While tension on these topics has hogged the headlines, the fight for influence in another area could be even more important—Latin America. Other emerging markets in Africa, where China has an overwhelming influence due to foreign direct investment in mining and oil, also offer economic opportunities, but Latin America has an abundance of natural resources, greater purchasing power, and geographic proximity to the United States, which has long considered Latin America as its "backyard."

At approximately 1315 hours on Sunday November 21, the East Dover Fire Company was alerted to a motor vehicle accident with entrapment at the intersection of Adams Ave and Coolidge Ave. Captain 2820 was the first to arrive on the scene of the incident advising he had a two car MVA with one vehicle on its roof with a person trapped inside, and also requested mutual aid from station 25 for their rescue. Rescue 2807 and Engine 2801 responded to the scene and together with 2561 extricated the patient from the vehicle. Engine 2811 responded to Skyview Park to establish a landing zone for the Northstar medevac helicopter to land. The accident is under investigation by the Toms River Police Department.
Shortly after noon on Saturday November 13th the East Dover Fire Company was dispatched to a possible structural fire on Morris Blvd. The first arriving officer, Chief 2800, advised that he had a fire in the attic of a private dwelling. 2811, being the first due engine was instructed to stretch one 1.75" hand line into the attic to extinguish the fire and check for extension. The fire was quickly knocked down with the assistance of the Island Heights Fire Company and The Toms River Fire Company 2.
At about 2300 hours on September 7, 2010 the East Dover Fire Company was alerted to a reported structure fire. Upon arrival Chief 2800 advised he had a heavily involved 2.5 story wood frame structure. Through the use of 2865's aerial master stream and multiple hand lines the fire was quickly brought under control. Stations 25, 26, and 53 responded to the scene to provide assistance, while other neighboring companies moved up for area coverage.
Ladder 2865 and Engine 2811 ran mutual aid to a dwelling fire on Summit Ave, in Island Heights. The company was alerted shortly after 14:00 hours to a fire in a single story wood frame dwelling. Companies encountered a very difficult to extinguish fire in the attic of the dwelling. The difficulty of the fire in addition to the high temperature and humidity greatly increased the need for additional manpower.Photos: Asbury Park Press
Water rescue vessel 2816 and crew spent their fourth of July evening on the Toms River, along with other Rescue, Fire, and Law Enforcement vessels to oversee the party on the water and ensure that everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday.

On International Women's Day - Inspiring Teaching for a New Generation of Policy Makers [guest blog]
(AllAfrica Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The theme for International Women's Day 2014 is 'inspiring change for greater awareness of women's equality' and what better way to inspire change than to start in the classroom? Over five years of research, the Pathways of Women's Empowerment's programme has uncovered a multitude of stories around the journeys of women's empowerment. This exciting new learning platform transforms these stories into resources which can be used for teaching from secondary school to university levels as well as in workshop and training situations. The aim is to inspire and influence the next generation of policy makers, activists and academics around issues of gender equality.
Teaching modules The Pathways Learning Platform launching on 8 March in celebration of IWD 2014 is a new educational website that promises to reinvigorate teaching and learning on a range of subjects connected to gender, women's empowerment and development. The platform, which is a free open-access site, contains four modules, which connect to Pathways' four research themes.
Empowerment and Women's Work explores what it is about work that makes it empowering for women. It presents the experiences of women who have navigated routes of empowerment through work, often in difficult and restricting societies and political systems.
Politics, Equality and Voice explores the ways greater fairness for women participating in politics can be achieved and presents factors which enable or constrain women from fully participating in politics.
Women, Representation and Sexuality takes the body as its entry point to understanding ways sexuality and pleasure can be a positive force in development policy and practice and challenges the negative language used and approach taken by institutions working with women on sexuality and female representation.
Understanding and Evolving Empowerment explores fresh ways to measure empowerment and evaluates the power of quantitative vs qualitative. It presents a broad range of projects, which have used alternative techniques to collect data and have helped to expand our conceptual understanding of the meanings and practices of empowerment in different regions and for different women.
Resources for you The platform is aimed at a wide range of users and has filters to access content by academic level. It provides resources for students and teachers as well as others. Whether you are part of a community group, work for a women's organisations, are facilitating workshops or are studying gender related undergraduate programmes, you can access resources under the 'other groups' category.
All resources can be downloaded and used without Internet connection and every resource and activity is also included in specially designed workbooks. These features allow users complete flexibility in how they choose to teach and engage with the learning materials within this platform. A lesson planning document and 'How to Use' instructional film is also included to enhance understanding and provide further support to educators and learners.
Inspiring change through women's stories As a group of researchers, activists and communicators with hubs based in Latin America, the Middle East, South Asia and West Africa, Pathways members have tried to trace the hidden as well as the well-worn journeys of women's empowerment. Well-worn journeys such as the importance of education, political voice and economic empowerment, and those more hidden such as the significance of pleasure and leisure and religion. One of the main guides of our work has been to give space for women's own voices - to show how women are experiencing empowerment and disempowerment in their own lives. We have developed this platform with the aim of showing these stories to a wide audience through engaging visual resources.
The platform combines the use of case studies from nine countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Sierra Leone - with a wide selection of resources designed to engage and incite debate: films which follow women's experiences in Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, Palestine and Sierra Leonephoto galleries, for example photographs taken by domestic workers in Brazil to capture their own life experiencesinfo graphics, timelines, text resources, interactive comicsa range of flexible activities that vary in length of time, learning styles and skills bring women's stories of empowerment to life and aim to inspire teachers and learners alike.
With these resources we aim to influence a new generation of policy makers, activists and academics around issues of gender equality.
Our hope for the Pathways of Women's Empowerment learning platform is that by offering flexible learning materials it will inspire a radical shift in policy and practice. Inspiring change on International Women's Day and beyond.
Natalie Jeffers is an IDS/School of Global Studies Climate Change and Development Msc Alumni, principal developer of the Pathways Learning Platform and director of Matters of the Earth, a company which specialises in the re-purposing of research for new audiences.
Jenny Edwards is the Programme Officer for the Pathways to Women's Empowerment Programme, based at IDS. Pathways of Women's Empowerment is a research and communication programme which seeks to discover where women are achieving real gains despite or because of policy and practice. It looks at how this has happened, and aims to make these pathways visible so that we can build on these revealed successes. By involving policy actors and practitioners directly in what we are learning, through action research and through innovative communications methods, we hope that our work can in itself become a catalyst of change.

The Richmond Federal Reserve Bank said that manufacturing activity in its district continued to expand strongly, even as it pulled back slightly from the fastest rate since April 2010. The composite index of general business activity declined from 22 in March to 20 in April. That was the sixth straight monthly expansion in the mid-Atlantic region. The underlying data were mixed, but still quite encouraging. New orders (unchanged at 26), shipments (up from 17 to 25) and capacity utilization (up from 21 to 22) all grew at healthy rates, with the latter two accelerating their paces for the month. Growth in demand remained at its briskest pace in seven years, which was also positive. Nonetheless, there was also some easing, mirroring the headline number, in the backlog of orders (down from 14 to 4), employment (down from 20 to 5) and average workweek (down from 21 to 8) measures. Read More
The Dallas Federal Reserve Bank reported that manufacturing activity expanded in April for the seventh straight month, mostly sustaining the pace seen in March. The composite index of general business conditions edged down from 16.9 in March to 16.8 in April. While the headline number eased ever-so-slightly, the composite index has averaged 18.4 over the past six reports, which would indicate significant progress from contracting conditions as recently as September. The recent gains in business confidence can largely be attributed to better energy commodity prices and from a post-election boost in optimism, especially as it relates to expectations regarding pro-growth policies. Nonetheless, the sample comments suggest that the improvements have not been as broad-based as we might prefer, with some firms seeing large gains in activity while others continue to struggle, at least for now. Read More
The Markit Flash Eurozone Manufacturing PMI rose from 56.2 in March to 56.8 in April, its fastest rate since April 2011. While there continues to be a lot of political uncertainty on the continent, survey respondents in the sector have mostly brushed aside such concerns. Instead, they have focused on the fact that the Eurozone economy has trended generally in the right direction in recent months, with activity accelerating at a modest rate, and the headline PMI has trended higher since bottoming out at 51.2 in February 2016. Despite an election in France this weekend that could be quite consequential, depending on the results, manufacturing activity in that country (up from 53.3 to 55.1) accelerated to its fastest rate since April 2011, helping to lift the Eurozone data. At the same time, Germany (down from 58.3 to 58.2) edged slightly lower from its six-year high in April, but remained quite strong. Read More
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia reported that manufacturing activity remained strong in April, even as headline growth has continued to pull back from February's pace, which was the best reading since November 1983. The composite index of general business activity has decreased from 43.3 in February, to 32.8 in March, to 22.0 in April. Despite the easing in the composite and many of the underlying measures, the data continued to signal a healthy expansion in the district, including new orders (down from 38.6 to 27.4), shipments (down from 32.9 to 23.4), employment (up from 17.5 to 19.9) and the average workweek (up from 18.5 to 18.9). The rate of hiring growth was the fastest since May 2011. On the downside, there have been rising pricing pressures of late (down from 40.7 to 33.7), even as the index for prices paid decelerated somewhat from its highest level in nearly six years. Read More
The Federal Reserve reported that manufacturing production pulled back in March, ending six straight monthly gains. Output in the sector declined 0.4 percent, pulled lower by a sharp reduction in motor vehicles and parts production, down 3.0 percent, among others. Yet, even with the reduced figures in March, the data continue to reflect improvements in the manufacturing sector, with activity turning a corner after struggling for much of the past two years due to a number of economic headwinds. Indeed, manufacturing production has increased 0.8 percent over the past 12 months, down from 1.0 percent in the prior release but with progress from declining year-over-year rates as recently as October. Similarly, manufacturing capacity utilization decreased from 75.6 percent—a 13-month high—to 75.3 percent. In general, the utilization rate has trended higher since bottoming out at 74.7 percent in August. Read More
The Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said that new housing starts declined 6.8 percent in March. New residential construction activity fell from an annualized 1,303,000 in February to 1,215,000 in March. More importantly, it has exceeded 1.2 million in five of the past six months – a psychological threshold that we appear to have finally sustained. That suggests that the housing market continues to show some strength, even with some notable easing in the latest data. Along those lines, both single-family (down from 875,000 to 821,000) and multifamily (down from 428,000 to 394,000) starts were lower in March, with single-family activity decelerating from a pace not seen since October 2007. Read More
The Empire State Manufacturing Survey said that manufacturing activity slowed in April, easing from the more robust paces seen in February and March. The composite index of general business conditions declined from 16.4 in March to 5.2 in April, its weakest reading since November. On the positive side, it was the sixth consecutive monthly expansion, continuing to improve from the softer economic environment seen at this point last year. The underlying data in April were mixed. Growth in both new orders (down from 21.3 to 7.0) and the average employee workweek (down from 15.0 to 8.8) decelerated somewhat for the month, mirroring the headline number. More encouragingly, shipments (up from 11.3 to 13.7) and hiring (up from 8.8 to 13.9) each accelerated in April, which was a good sign. Read More
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that consumer prices decreased 0.3 percent in March, its first decline in 13 months. The reduced figure stemmed from a reduction in energy costs, down 3.2 percent, including a 6.0 percent decline in gasoline prices. With that said, gasoline costs have jumped nearly 20 percent over the past 12 months. At the same time, food prices increased by 0.3 percent in March, its highest monthly rate since June 2015. Overall, the consumer price index increased 2.4 percent year-over-year in March, down from 2.8 percent in February but up from 0.9 percent one year ago.
Core consumer prices, which exclude food and energy costs, edged down 0.1 percent in March. There were higher prices for medical care and transportation services in this release, but those were offset by reduced costs for apparel, household furnishings and new and used vehicles. Excluding food and energy costs, consumer prices have increased 2.0 percent over the past 12 months, pulling back a little from 2.2 percent in the prior report. Even though core consumer price inflation has equaled or exceeded the Federal Reserve's stated goal of 2 percent for 17 consecutive months, overall prices pressures remain modest and under control for now.
The Census Bureau said that retail sales edged slightly lower in March for the second straight month, down 0.2 percent. Softer automotive sales help to explain at least part of this weakness, with spending at motor vehicle and parts dealers down 1.2 percent for the month. Excluding autos, retail sales were unchanged in March. Despite the reduced headline number in the latest release, the data continue to reflect an American consumer that has been more willing to open to open his/her pocketbook, especially when compared to this time last year. Along those lines, retail spending has risen 5.2 percent over the past 12 months, with the year-over-year rate down from January's 5.9 percent pace but well above the more-hesitant rate of 1.7 percent seen in March 2016. Excluding motor vehicles and parts sales, the year-over-year rate was 5.0 percent. Read More
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said that producer prices for final demand goods and services edged down 0.1 percent in March, falling for the first time in seven months. For manufacturers, producer prices for final demand goods were also off by 0.1 percent, led lower by reduced energy costs, down 2.9 percent for the month. Still, on a year-over-year basis, final demand energy prices have risen 15.3 percent. At the same time, food prices jumped 0.9 percent in March, its strongest monthly gain since December. Higher costs for cooking oils, eggs, fruits, meats and vegetables were enough to offset lower prices for coffee, dairy products, grains, milled rice and oilseeds. Since March 2016, food prices have inched up 0.3 percent, its first positive year-over-year gain since February 2015.
Excluding food and energy, final demand goods prices for producers increased by 0.4 percent in March. Overall, producer prices for final demand goods and services have risen 2.3 percent since March 2016, its highest year-over-year rate since March 2012. Moreover, it represents a notable pickup in inflationary pressures after being unchanged in August. Meanwhile, core producer prices – which exclude food, energy and trade services – grew 1.75 percent year-over-year in March, up slightly from 1.7 percent in February. That year-over-year pace was the fastest rate since August 2014.

text: The Dyaneshwari is the commentary on Bhagavad Gita written by Shri Sant Jñaneshwar during the 13th century at age 16. The Dyaneshwari provides the philosophical basis for the Bhagawata Dharma, a Bhakti sect which had a lasting effect on the history of Maharashtra.Several Marathi persons read this on a daily basis. This book is for a recital (parayan) to be typically completed in 3, 7, or 30 days. There are several Warkari's who recite it fully in one single day. It is highly recommended to keep a copy at home and read at least few Slokha's every day.

Unfamiliar Fishes (Paperback)
From the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States comes an examination of Hawaii, the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn.
Of all the countries the United States invaded or colonized in 1898, Sarah Vowell considers the story of the Americanization of Hawaii to be the most intriguing. From the arrival of the New England missionaries in 1820, who came to Christianize the local heathens, to the coup d'etat led by the missionaries' sons in 1893, overthrowing the Hawaiian queen, the events leading up to American annexation feature a cast of beguiling, if often appalling or tragic, characters. Whalers who fire cannons at the Bible-thumpers denying them their god-given right to whores; an incestuous princess pulled between her new god and her brother-husband; sugar barons, con men, Theodore Roosevelt, and the last Hawaiian queen, a songwriter whose sentimental ode -Aloha 'Oe- serenaded the first Hawaiian-born president of the United States during his 2009 inaugural parade.
With her trademark wry insights and reporting, Vowell sets out to discover the odd, emblematic, and exceptional history of the fiftieth state. In examining the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn, she finds America again, warts and all.
About the Author
Sarah Vowell is the bestselling author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, Unfamiliar Fishes, The Wordy Shipmates, Assassination Vacation, and The Partly Cloudy Patriot.

The Maximilianeum, a palatial building in Munich, was built as the home of a gifted students' foundation and has also housed the Bavarian Landtag (state parliament) since 1949.
The principal was King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who started the project in 1857. The leading architect was Friedrich Bürklein. The building is situated on the bank of river Isar before the Maximilian Bridge and marks the eastern end of the Maximilianstrasse, one of Munich's royal avenues which is framed by neo-Gothic palaces influenced by the English Perpendicular style. Due to statical problems the construction was only completed in 1874 and the facade of the Maximilianeum which was originally planned also in neo-Gothic style had to be altered in renaissance style under the influence of Gottfried Semper. The building was extended on its back for new parliament offices, several modern wings were added in 1958, 1964 and 1992.

Our typical Western diet is full of inflammatory fats - saturated fats, trans fats, too many omega-6, inflammatory, processed vegetable oils like soy and corn oils. These increase IGF-1 and stimulate pimple follicles.

In addition to contributing to erosion, pollution, food poisoning, and the dead zone, corn requires huge amounts of fossil fuel - it takes a half gallon of fossil fuel to produce a bushel of corn.

All the food we eat - every grain of rice and kernel of corn - has been genetically modified. None of it was here before mankind learned to cultivate crops. The question isn't whether our food has been modified, but how.

From cheesecake on a stick to meat skewers to deep-fried bananas on a stick - there are no plates anymore. In Los Angeles, everything has become a corn dog. Actually, corn dogs still work. But most other food should be stickless.

In corn, I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal, a McDonald's meal, virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn.

All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.

How do you react to unexpected events in your daily life? Do you panic when devastated, or do you see opportunities for growth? Do personal disasters destroy you, or do they make you stronger? And are your eyes open to behold the wonder and the beauty of life, even as you grieve?
In Our Visible God, author Patricia Aldridge-Hinkle shares her own touching and heartfelt life narrative-a narrative about a very happy woman whose life has been filled with both grief and intense joy and thanksgiving. Her love for God and for others has enabled her to see God's hand and guidance leading her through tough times with courage and with confidence in her Lord. Through her journey, God teaches her how to praise Him even in her darkest days.
With faith, we can see God revealed both in ordinary and extraordinary situations, and seeing God is not necessarily a supernatural event-though it can be if God chooses to make it one. Most of the time seeing God is an exciting state of mind and an attitude. It can put a smile on our faces and a bounce in our strides as we are led daily into ministry to others, for "blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8).
One day, as my sister-in-law, Brenda, and I worked in her mother's yard in late spring, I spotted a remarkable plant growing close to the side door. I had never seen anything like it! I immediately went to investigate. Its single blossom was huge, with a rippled edge. Its surface was velvety and vivid in hues of pink, red, purple, and blue.
Brenda did not know its name, but she said that it had been there for years. I later asked Brenda's mother about the beautiful plant. It seems that a friend had given the plant to her husband many years ago. The friend called it a "Stink Plant," which explained the strange odor I had smelled when I approached it.
Later I researched the mysterious plant, whose odor resembled rotting flesh. I learned that its genus was "Dracunculus" and its species was "Vulgaris." Other common names were listed, two of which were: "Dragon Lily" and "Stink Lily." I did not understand how such a stunning plant could be commonly known as a "Stink Lily."
This started a strange thought process in my brain. Did God make this beautiful plant to be stinky, or did He make the stinky plant to be beautiful? Obviously, He intended it to be both. Then I thought of the skunk, a very photogenic little creature who is extremely "stinky" in order to repel its many enemies. Next I thought of other creatures (some people) whose "stinky" nature attracts, rather than repels. It all seemed to be in the eye of the beholder.
Next thought: Did God include something special in our DNA when He created us in His image that is especially "stinky" to our enemy, the devil, yet endearing to God? I believe that He did! I believe that our love and obedience to our Father is so repulsive to the devil that he flees from our presence when he perceives it. Satan sees beauty only in our sin and disrespect to God. God is saddened by it. God sees our love for Him as beautiful. To the devil our devotion to God acts as a repellant, sending him away like a roaring lion, seeking weaker souls whom he can capture in their sin!
Dear God, help us to be truly beautiful in Your eyes, but real "stinkers" in the devil's eyes!
"... Your accuser, the devil, is on the prowl like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."
1 Peter 5:8 CEB

This 3 Star hotel is near to the Yatra Slip Counter at Kashmir Road and maintains single and double rooms, which can be checked out by 1 p.m. Guests can relish on a scrumptious fare at the in-house restaurant and lounge in the cool ambiance of the bar, serving a good stock of wines and liquors. There is a travel desk, which organizes interesting trips in and around Katra.

Location was prime. Our room was clean and spacious with all the necessities. Staff was efficient and polite towards the guest. Even the food was decent in taste. It was worth the money we paid.
The room quality and service was miserable. The plug points and switches were hanging and management was not responsive. The location and food facility was manageable but I was disappointed with the rooms. It was not worth to be a three star property.
Hotel Service was not good as there was no pick up offered to the customers at night 3:00AM when we were returning back from Vaishnodevi darshan.There are other hotels of similar category who do offer drop and pick up. Thats the basic any customer can expect.

This hotel was average. Service was good. The location is pretty good and the staff were helpful, we got some advice to travel around the city from them.
Highly over-priced for the quality of the room. Unhygenic conditions with cockroaches, rats and roaches roaming freely around. There was a damp smell around. I dont know how we spent 2 nights here. I could clearly feel disadvantages of booking online as there is no option to revert back your bookings. Want to know how this place is rated 3 stars

This is the worst hotel, i have seen.
The food was impressive and awesome taste. The hotel was spacious and ambiance was soothing. Room was quite royal and bed sheet was clean. The housekeeping was proper and there was no trouble in finding the location is well. It really worth the price charged.

The best part of this hotel was, it is located in the center of the city. Our room was decent with all the basic facilities. The restaurant was clean, the breakfast they served was delicious. It is good value for money. It's quite a nice hotel.
This is a very beautiful property located centrally in Katra. I especially liked the mountain view outside our window. The room service & food were up to the mark as well. It was a great stay.

Indian team was to wear the 'tricolour on their heart' for the World Twenty20. On Thursday, August 16, Nike, who are the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) kit sponsor, unveiled the Indian team's first specialist T20 jersey.
But the thinking has changed in less than a month and now the BCCI has said that the team will appear in the old jersey during the premier T20 tournament.
"It's our decision to ask the players to wear the jersey which they had used during the 2011 World Cup," BCCI official Ratnakar Shetty told The Times of India.
The BCCI also communicated the same to the kit sponsors Nike who have in turn confirmed the 'scrapping'.
It is also worth notice that the Men in Blue had worn the old jersey during the recently concluded India-New Zealand T20 series.
Just as whites are indisputably linked to Test cricket, and blue to the 50-over game, the Indian team was to have a shirt specifically for the T20 format.
"Once I wear the national jersey, I automatically know that I have to give my best," said Virender Sehwag, when the kit was unveiled.
"Having the national flag's colours close to the heart is a good idea. After all, someone like me, who plays from the heart, will only feel better for it."
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was also welcoming of the new shirt at the time.
"It's a very good start. Even when people are swapping between channels on television they see white and know that it's Test cricket," he said.
"Now there will be a strong association between this jersey and T20 cricket."
It does seem now though, that Team India will rather rely on the 'Old Jersey' to bring them the ICC World T20 trophy, as it had done to bring them the 50-over World Cup.

Ben, Would not all of the instances you list have occurred regardless of the calculation submittal requirement? The Hyatt was a deviation from the construction drawings, the site inspector would not have had the calculations. The Cal State structures lack of interior lateral resistance would have been readily apparent from the drawings, with the compatibility question raised regardless of what the calculations indicate. I don't believe the issue was requiring plan check, only the inclusion of formal calculations with the submittal. I could be mistaken.
