KB dam: Bone of contention
Bashir A Malik former chief technical advisor of the United Nation and World Bank has said "Sindh and KPK would become drought area in the year to come, if Kalabagh Dam was not built". At the same time former KPK chief minister Shamsul Mulk has stated that the Kalabagh Dam would be helpful in erasing poverty from KPK, as it would irrigate 800,000 acres of cultivable land that is located 100-150 feet above the level of river Indus. Kalabagh Dam would provide 6.5 million acre feet of water to cultivate seven million acres of currently barren land.
This is an addition to 3,800 MW of electricity it would provide in response to the push toward side lining Kalabagh altogether in favor of Basha Dam project, Engineer Anwer Khurshid stated that "Basha Dam is no substitute for Kalabagh Dam not because of its altitude which is high enough, but because no irrigation canals can be taken out from it because of the hilly terrain. Kalabagh Dam is a multipurpose Dam that will store surplus water to irrigate new lands, generate cheap energy and deter floods. This dam is proposed to be constructed at a site named Kalabagh. Decision makers claim that annually 35 MAF of surplus water is wasted in to the Arabian Sea due to its inefficient storage and usage. Master minds behind the dam are of the opinion that Kalabagh Dam will store up to 6.1 MAF of surplus water, which is presently being wasted, and use it efficiently to irrigate nearly 2.4 million acres of new land generate 11,750 KWH of cheap energy and minimize the destruction caused by floods by deterring them. Thus if the dam is given a touch of reality it can resolve the country's dilemma.
Despite of being in national interest, this project has plunged in to political intrigues and controversies. Kalabagh Dam has invited strong criticism from majority quarters of the state. It has been a bone of contention between the provinces and federal government. Punjab, one of the federating units, has been kind enough to ratify the proposal. All other three provinces have raised a huge hue and cry against the dam KPK, one of the challengers, fears inundation rehabilitation of the inhabitant of Kalabagh. It is widely held that under extreme conditions, the dam could overflow and flood KPK severely.
Pakistan is a third world country that is situated in the north-western part of South Asia. The country is basically an agricultural and industrial country. It is blessed with several mineral resources. Among all them, water enjoys a prominent position. The country faces mountainous region in the North.
A major proportion of its energy needs is produced by dams. Currently, only water which efficient usage and storage can bring a break through and assist the country in such crises. All Pakistanis agree that Pakistan faces a severe water shortage and that some form of water management be implemented soon. Many point out that even if work on Kalabagh Dam were to start tomorrow. It would still take at least three years to complete and commission such a large dam. In the meantime, the water situation would continue to worsen. Smaller dams, barrages and canals must be built before that and water conservation techniques introduced.

READ MOREWhen people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen."
So instead of investing millions of dollars on unseen TV commercials or unnoticed billboards they just pay us per customer we acquire for them. One of the principal reasons our clients love working with us is the integrity and image that we uphold. Our clients always know that their image and reputation will increase with our marketing strategies. Another reason our clients have raved about our accomplishments for them is that we do everything face to face. This means we will never use telemarketing, direct mail or any other form of impersonal marketing techniques in order to represent them.
This gives their customers a personal and customizable experience, where we can really focus on the message our clients want us to deliver. Since opening our doors in 2005 we have opened 10 additional locations throughout the United States. Each of these locations is dedicated to represent one or two Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 clients in that city. Our objective is to personalize our representation so each of our clients gets the results they are looking for. Our goal is to have 19 locations throughout the country by the end of 2012 and expand internationally by 2014. Our mission is to have 200 offices and be globally recognized as one of the top marketing firms that represents clients with integrity and professionalism. Additionally we want to give individuals interested in marketing a chance to be a part of a marketing legacy.

We communicate with our clientele, acquire customers, establish a fully functional campaign, and more efficient than any of our competitors.read more
Our TeamSARAH - President
CRYSTAL - Organizational Administrative Manager
CORINNA - HR Manager
Here at PSI we only promote from within our company. Every one of our Assistant Managers, Managers and Partners all started at our entry level, Account Executive position and grew into the roles they have today. We believe that learning our business from the inside increases the effectiveness of the senior level executives as managers. This approach has proven to be very effective for a few reasons.
First of all, we believe that it is difficult to truly coach people and be empathetic if you have never done the responsibilities you are coaching people to do. Second, we believe that most people don't mind starting at an entry level position just as long as they are guaranteed an opportunity to grow and advance to a higher position. As a growth-focused organization, we understand that our employees are our greatest asset. This is why we focus so much of our time on our management training program and the success of our team members. And the quality of the people that we work with is why we represent the biggest names in the telecommunication industry, as well as in other industries such as the office supply and energy industries.
OverviewBrands still Matter
The way in which prospective customers interact with your brand has changed, but the importance of the brand hasn't. Most people still want the assurances that a strong brand reputation conveys, especially as the price of the purchase increases. PSI has extensive experience in taking strong business-to-business brands to the next level, as well as launching all-new brands. Whether the need is for positioning or pricing research, product naming, package design, focus group testing, corporate identity or online/offline brand communications, PSI has the capabilities to make old brands shiny and new brands solid.
B2B Marketing
PSI provides strategically driven business-to-business marketing services to companies migrating to positions of market leadership, focusing on customer acquisition and retention. Companies operating in crowded, competitive markets that seek to differentiate and defend positions of sustained profitable growth experience dramatic results through our proprietary strategic process. Most important, we provide real metrics for measuring clients' business-to-business marketing and advertising efforts. As a media-agnostic company, we assure that every communication – no matter what the channel – works in tandem to generate impactful business-to-business marketing messaging while increasing sales.
More than transactions: it's about connectivity
Connectivity is all about creating deeper relationships by pursuing a new set of principles. The focus is on co-creating with your customers: creating intimate relationships with them by engaging them in the process. It's no longer about two-dimensional push – pull marketing; it's multi-dimensional marketing built on valuing a relationship in which the sale is only one ingredient. The other ingredients? Asking opinions; creating ways to better serve; participating [not controlling or leading] in their online communities where you may offer suggestions. These are some of the ways we'll help you interact with your customers and prospects. Connectivity is a measure of the intimacy you share with a customer. The goal is not to create a satisfied customer. It is to create a brand advocate. One who will not only spread the good word about you, but defend you against the occasional bad word. And, while creating advocates is nothing new, the means to do that have changed dramatically
CLIENT FAQ'SCan International PSI represent my company?Yes, we can represent any client that is looking to expand their clientele. We specialize in direct marketing and dealing with clients on a face to face basis.

You can contact us and ask anyone in the HR department for this information. The salary and the commission packages we offer will vary depending on the client you represent.
Do you have any part-time positions or internships available?
We never hire for part-time positions. We do have internships available in the fields of marketing, sales, human resource and client development. If interested please email us directly to find out what the qualifications are. We are flexible with the hours for the internship position.
What does a typical day entail at the entry level Account Executive position?
A typical day is 8:00 am - 6:00 pm Monday through Friday. From 8:00 am - 10:00 am every day you will be in the office, we do meetings and trainings as a group.

Again, this is the entry level portion of the position. Usually you will do this position for the first 2-4 weeks and then once comfortable with that position you would start with the management training program.
How long would it take for me to get promoted to Management or to become a Partner?
Our Management Training Program can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to complete, depending on the learning curve, determination and work ethic each candidate puts into the program.

What results can a client expect after hiring PSI?

How much does PSI charge a client for their services?

Sausage and Bacon Breakfast Omelette
PREP TIME: 8½ Hours
This dish is a cross between an omelette and a casserole. It is filled to the rim with seasoned breakfast sausage, smoky bacon and melted cheese. Make it after dinner, put it in the refrigerator overnight and pop it in the oven in the morning for a complete and warming breakfast dish that the kids will love.
Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain well. Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 13" x 9" baking dish. Sprinkle sausage, bacon, green onions and cheese evenly over bread cubes. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, dry mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour evenly into the baking dish. Cover and chill for 8 hours. Let casserole sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the casserole for 45 minutes or until set. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Note: Leftover casserole can be frozen for later use. Cut the casserole into squares and wrap in plastic before freezing. When ready to use, thaw squares and reheat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until heated thoroughly.

Walmart has an awful pricing structure, has terrible quality of merchandise, is overcrowded, has horrendous customer service, has many terrible corporate policies, underpays all employees except for the executives (who are grossly overpaid), and the stores actually smell awful. Because of all of this, it doesn't take a boycott on boycott owl to create an actual boycott. The only people that I see going into that store regularly are government welfare slaves (that includes most of their employees).
Walmart employees pushed CPR certified citizens away from a dying man, read more here: http://www.kcby.com/news/local/128101928.html

I see that people are still joining the boycott! Thanks for your support! Since Walmart has not chosen to comment or reply to all of the supporters, it only makes sense that this continue. Although they have lifted the "ban", there is still an issue regarding their employees disregarding the issue that they were presented with. The only reason that this child abuser did not just walk away was because WE did not let them, and my son made sure of that. There is a young girl at the center of all of this, and Walmart needs to ensure that incidents such as this one need to be taken seriously, and responded to appropriately. Thank you again for viewing, joining, commenting and sharing!

I am happy to report that I received a call from "Richard" today who apologized on behalf of Walmart. THE BAN HAS BEEN LIFTED! Richard acknowledged that after viewing the security tapes of the whole incident, he understood our concerns and said that the actions taken by the security employees were "extreme". Thank you to each and every person who joined this boycott, and to those who commented and viewed. We created an impact and this issue got the recognition that it deserved. Thanks again to all! Diane.

I completely get where you are going with your comment about an older couple doing the same thing...the security personnel were basically the same age as the consumer...so this was an ego boost for them.
Please Walmart...are you serious? Remove the ban against this person, acknowledge that he was trying to do something good. Discipline your staff for acting out of line. This is really very sad.

Walmart has reached out to me...via message on my facebook. I had posted this story in their problem/resolution area on facebook, but as I expected, I received notice that my post was removed. It caused a bit of a stir, lots of back and forth opinions...However....I was asked to provide a phone number so that the "appropriate team" could follow up. I will keep everyone updated. They removed the post citing that it included "personal information". Not sure what they are talking about, no names...I'm sure it didnt shine a favorable light on the store...Will post the follow up when and if I receive it. Thanks again for all of your support! You are great people.
I wonder what would have happened if it was an older couple who did the same thing? Wal-Mart should be ashamed for turning the other way when this might have been this little girl's only chance to be removed from an abusive situation. I can't believe that the manager stood by and let this go on! There should more people in the world like this young man.

I have a call in to the officer that responded to the call. I truly hope he calls me back...because I will NOT go away. I want him to tell me that he followed through with a call to child protective services. At the scene, I questioned if he was going to call and report, or even fill out a report...his response was that he would speak to the other "parties" and would view security video. I know that he did not view it that evening, because I was still in the parking lot.

The abuse was that a grandmother forcefully grabbed her granddaughter (approx 8 yrs old) by the face. Mother was in a wheelchair with crutches so grandmother "put" the child in between herself and the wheel chair while pushing, and then grabbed and pulled child's hair from behind. Fact that this was a mother and grandmother because when my son approached them with concern, and warned that if it continued he would contact police, mother responded with "this is my daughter and her grandmother and I will discipline her any way we want, she is unruly". These scumbags were well aware of how serious this was, because they removed the license plate from their vehicle, obviously for fear that it would be written down and reported. Their stupidity preceeds them though because they needed to put the plate back on before leaving...
Before I pass judgment, I wonder what this abuse was? And am abashed that a case of suspected abuse was not taken seriously by law enforcement.
i have boycotted walmart years ago because of how they treat their employees, the products they sell and other reported incidents. Although this situation is horrible, i hope it will at least raise awareness of Walmart's unethical practices and changes will be made. I support you in this boycott and will continue to boycott Walmart until said changes are made.
A serious need exists to educate Walmart employees on how to properly handle reports of witnessed abuse in their stores. A hugh apology is warranted for this young man who tried to step up and do the right thing.
No one should be banned from the store for stepping in and helping a child. What is wrong with Walmart for allowing this to happen? Where are the managers? Who oversees what these "tough guys" are doing? Does anyone at Walmart realize that by penalizing the customer, they basically assisted the abuser?

Walmart should have taken his statement, and turn over video proof from the store, showing the abuse they were being told about (but didnt listen). Dont they have an obligation here? Ban should be lifted.
Walmart needs to lift the ban on this customer, and discipline the three employees for not handling the situation as they should have.
What?? Who's the criminal here?????? What a shame, for the little girl.

Thank you for all of the comments so far, and the support. These kids should be disciplined for their lack of concern and total disregard for the real issue at hand last night, the little girl who was getting her face grabbed and her hair pulled because her "mother" felt she was being "unruly". Instead they chose to focus on what they must have deemed their "power" to fill out a form, threaten harassment, and ban a consumer from their store.
What these loss prevention people should have done was given him a chance to explain what he saw. They should have taken his statement into consideration. They should have documented what they were being told so that it could be used against the abuser.
Agreed with the anonymous comment regarding hiring appropriate individuals. Too bad these macho teenagers were more concerned about the excitement of their "power" in banning a consumer, when in the middle of all of it was a young abused child...rethink your practices Walmart, because I have re-thought about shopping at your store.
Another example of bad judgement & practice by Walmart. Lets see, discrimination against women, failure to protect children against child abuse, security staff that don't know right from wrong...,,,,,I am sure there are so many other bad examples.
Not hard to boycott this store!
I've had Loss Prevention following my daughters, whom in fact one is a Certified Teacher, and is going on to get her Masters. My daughter in fact wouldm't steal an eraser from a school, none the less something out of walmart. On another note, one of Walmarts Employees goes on to say over the intercom, "all black people get out of the store", and it was deemed unacceptable? If Walmart is too Cheap to hire, and refill the position of Loss Prevention with Certified LEO's, then problems will continue between LP and Consumer. A Person should at least have some type of Degree in CJ, But I would Prefer an LEO that would have probably arrested the "irate" woman Who abused her child. Walmart can kill two birds in one stone, They can give a Laid off LEO a Job, and would save money from being Sued b/c of these Buffoons in LP. My family is Highly supportive of Law Enforcement and we have a good number of retired and active LEO's that are seriously going to spend our Money elsewhere if we do not receive an expeditious answer on the reason this particular incident happened.
In addition...the undercover security personnel needs to be disciplined for the inappropriate way they handled this. They should have listened to my son, he should have been given an opportunity to speak.

Thank you, Father Egon, your service to all of us is an inspiration.

When Father Javor founded the Priory why did he name it "Woodside" Priory?? It's located in Portola Valley. Shouldn't he have called it Portola Valley Priory? They didn't name Menlo School...which is located in Menlo Park...Atherton School.

Actually, TruthBetold, Menlo School -- and Menlo College -- are in Atherton.

Barb, I stand corrected. But that still doesn't answer my Priory question.

While you are at it, find out why the Menlo Circus Club is in Atherton and the Menlo Country Club is in Woodside.

Ok, this is my FIRST proper Flash production, YES I KNOW! theres no sound, and you're invincible, but i hope to have a ship select screen, level select, cheats, bosses, and upgrades. Please dont just go straight in and slag it... Its my first real attempt at a game, but please, tell me what you think.
CONTROLS! ======= Move = Keys
Fire = Control
Sorry, I forgot to enter that!
no actual change to coding, But it is easier on the eyes visually, now, gives you something to look at.
What do you think?
PS. I DID NOT COPY THIS FROM FLASH KIT... Yes I learned from it, and got the idea from it.. BUT I DID NOT NOPY NOR HAVE I EVER COPIED! so dont send me messages saying i did!
thank you

I got like 20k points off of one enemy by backing up and pumping him full of shots! plus, there's no end to the level, and no powerups.
Rated 4 / 5 stars December 18, 2003
not bad
good start. More than i could do. It has possobility. you can fire at an object forever and it will still give you points untill you move off it.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars November 27, 2003
well..... I'm disapointed
this could be a good game if you added some sounds and all the stuff you plan to put in it. I say you should of held the game until it was done.
Rated 3 / 5 stars March 3, 2003
you need to learn something
that is - explain shit about your games, man!
on kill frenzy i had no idea at all, and on this how the hell do you get new ships and weapons???
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars February 19, 2003
An arcade game without the arcade...
That was a very good first attempt (yours has stayed on Newgrounds; mine was blammed) but maybe you could add some sound and make it so that when you fly into the enemy you actually die or something as such. All in all, very good first attempt whichcould be greatly improved with a little more experience.

Option to disable comment toasts on TheVerge?
I'm not a multitasker. I do one thing at a time. And when I'm reading a great article on TheVerge, I want to read the article - not be notified about people commenting on the article.
Is there a way to disable the toasts? Either by closing it once (and not having it recur) or as a global preference in my profile?

Yes, the big heads and all of their glory will be on the show. They have made the trip over to New York with first class seating.
2. Butch T. Cougar
Yep, everyone's favorite mascot (unless you are in to racoons) will be there. I'm sure he will try crowd surfing, so that could be worth the view right there.

The way you say things matters

Babies do have an inbuilt sense, of the rhythmic patterns of speech used by adults, when the adults are talking to the infants. This sensitivity begins, apparently,in the womb, long before the moment of birth.
The way you say things matters
The noises, that mothers cannot help but make, when 'talking' to their babies, can seem fairly incomprehensible to us normal folks, but for the babies themselves, be they still in the womb, or newborn, these sounds are vitally important. While most men would own up to seeing little point to it, those mothers know instinctively that there most certainly is.
Canadian scientists actually conducted research into this very topic, discovering, in the process, that babies do have an inbuilt sense, of the rhythmic patterns of speech used by adults, when the adults are talking to the infants. This sensitivity begins, apparently,in the womb, long before the moment of birth, and this ability, to recognize these sound rhythms while still developing in the womb, could be of essential use, when it comes to the process of learning how to talk.
Children, it would appear, are naturally inclined toward picking up speech rhythms from the parents, which they then use themselves, to modulate the infant babbling they all do, a precursor to the learning process which helps them form real words. There appears to be, among parents. an unconscious disposition, to the adopting of a sing-song language, when speaking to the infants, possibly responding themselves to primal messages buried within their own brains.
Dartmouth college in New Hampshire, took this theory a step further, when comparing the progress of children, born of deaf parents, to those of hearing ones. Those of deaf had could hear perfectly well, but did not experience sound in the same way as those of hearing parents , so the deaf ones altered the way in which they used sign language!
Whilst hearing parents usually wave their hands at random, deaf parents do so in a rhythmic way, as if signing especially for the infants, as opposed to normal sining used with adults. Babies of deaf people also start to babble, but with their hands, as well as their mouths, proving that the inbuilt sensitivity to rhythms, detected in all babies, was powerful enough babies picked up on sign language, even when spoken language was sometimes there.
Babies seem to find it important, making use of the rhythmic patterns underlying human language, in their own development. While some feel that baby babbling, from seven months on, has nothing really to do with language at all, but just stems from the random movements of t babies mouths. Others feel, however, that it is vital that baby learns the use of the the rhythms that are the very foundation of speech itself.
With an obvious sensitivity to sing-song rhythms, which peaks at just the right moment, babies have an instinct for development that cannot be denied. Oddly enough, parents too, seem to feel an instinctive need to communicate, in this exact way, at precisely the same stage. If what you say to your baby makes no real sense to you, fear not, because. Baby will be loving every second, , and one day, they will find a way to tell you so.

Intro to Organic Chemistry | List of Organic Compounds
- February 20, 2012 at 4:52 am(1) Atif says:
So tell me in urea molecule C–N Bond have also less bond energy so why it is organic molecule?
- August 18, 2012 at 9:32 am(2) SC Khurana says:
Is carbon tetrachloride then not an Organic compound?
- August 23, 2012 at 7:25 am(3) sarang says:
organic compound:
1] compounds which contain C-H bond. They can be living or non living.
e.g.- living : carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, amino acids.
non-living : aldehydes, ketons, alcohols, carboxylic acid.
2] compounds which contain only C. But in this case, it has to be living.
e.g. urea. And that is why co2 is not organic.
- August 28, 2012 at 9:17 am(4) diomaro says:
why isnt co2 considered as an inorganic compound the answer is a compound which must contain hydrogen and carbon but carbon dioxide consist carbon only so it is considered as an inorganic compound…….
- August 13, 2013 at 11:39 am(5) bhawna says:
Is CS2 also is not a inorganic compound?
- August 20, 2013 at 6:16 pm(6) Alan Crooks says:
Carbonm tetrachloride (aka tetrachloromethane) is fully-substituted methane – which does contain carbon and is therefore organic. Presumably this is why TCM is also considered organic . CS2 is inorganic.
- September 9, 2013 at 9:36 pm(7) mayra says:
well how do u know that carbon dioxide is a element or compound pr mixture
- September 11, 2013 at 11:58 pm(8) Bhagwan sharma says:
When carbondioxide react with water it forms carbonic acid then carbonic acid react with base and it forms inorganic compds eg.salts. so co2 is inorganic compd
- September 23, 2013 at 7:22 pm(9) R James says:
I looked in all my old organic chemistry text books from 50 years ago. They clearly define organic chemistry as "the chemistry of the compounds of carbon". Nothing about needing a C/H bond. As far as I'm concerned, CO2 is an organic compound.
- September 30, 2013 at 10:23 pm(10) Thomas W says:
If organic chemistry is simply the chemistry of carbon compounds, with no further requirements, then the (geo)chemistry of carbonate rocks ought to be included in organic chemistry. I've never encountered it being thus included.
Of course it's possible organic chemists didn't even think of carbonates, or if they did considered them unimportant and boring.
- November 17, 2013 at 5:57 pm(11) Harry Negron says:
Carbon dioxide is inorganic. Not because is not bonded to a H atom, but for other reasons:
- CO2 does not exist in any other configuration other than the one we know for CO2. I'll explain… You can react CCl4 with other compounds and get, for example, (Cl3)C-C(H3), etc but you can't do that with CO2. If you react CO2 with anything it will usually form a salt or an acid rather than covalently bonding with a net charge of zero as organic molecules tend to do.
- April 30, 2014 at 6:49 pm(12) sarana says:
If you wanna know how to differenciate them you need to know the PREFIX & SUFFIX of organic compounds cuz it really helps you not by the elements but by their names.
- May 7, 2014 at 10:03 am(13) fdsf says:
so is it synthetic?
