The Indian Economic Service (IES) is the administrative civil service under Grade A[2] of the Central Civil Services of the executive branch of the Government of India.
The IES was constituted in 1961 with the objective of institutionalizing a core professional capacity within the Government to undertake economic analysis and render advice for designing and formulating development policies, strengthening delivery systems, and monitoring and evaluating the public programmes. With the initiation of large-scale economic reforms in 1991 and the proliferation of the regulatory role of the government, such analysis and advice within the domain of the service has increased manifold. The Cadre strength of IES is periodically reviewed by the IES Board chaired by the Cabinet Secretary and the final Cadre strength is approved by the Cabinet. A review of the IES Cadre was undertaken in 1991. Subsequently, Cadre reviews were undertaken in 2000 and 2005. The present Cadre strength of IES at various grades was approved by the Cabinet in its meeting held on 4.8.2005. The sanctioned strength of the IES Cadre at present is 501, consisting of 461 duty posts and 40 leave reserves. The duty posts are spread over 35 Ministries/Departments of the Government of India.
The civil list details the authorised numbers of posts, and their utilization.[3]
Work Profile[edit]
The service is, therefore, an inter-Ministerial and inter-Departmental service. The posts are primarily located in Ministries/ Departments dealing with economic and social sectors. Even within organizations that account for a large proportion of its Cadre posts, like the Planning Commission, IES officers posted therein serve in a diverse range of subject areas, such as finance, social sector, rural development, education, health, agriculture, industry, trade, transport, and information technology. IES officers are, thus, exposed to development issues in diverse sectors and contribute to policy-making in the Central Government over the entire span of their service career. With the economic reforms having transformed the nature and domain of economic policy-making in the country, the IES, as a service, provides a pool of in-house economic expertise that is well placed to meet the growing demand for analytical economic inputs for policy-making in the government.
Role of IES Officers[edit]
Role of the service can be broadly categorized in terms of economic advice, economic administration, implementation of development policy and programmes, besides dealing with other areas such as economic reforms, regulation, price fixation, and monitoring and evaluation. In the rapidly globalizing environment, decision-making is increasingly guided by economic rationality. In view of the on-going reforms pursued by the Government, the role of IES officers has assumed much significance. Apart from the purely economic sectors, IES officers are making crucial contribution towards policy making in social sectors.
Career Progression[edit]
Candidates recommended for IES start their career as Assistant Director. The existing hierarchy in the service is as follows :
(1)Higher Administrative Grade +(*Principal/Chief Adviser,Equivalent to the level of Secretary Government of India>
(2)Higher Administrative Grade (*Senior Economic Adviser / Senior Adviser, Equivalent to the level of Addl. Secretary to the Govt. of India)
(3)Senior Administrative Grade (*Economic Adviser / Adviser, Equivalent to the level of Joint Secretary to the Govt. of India)
(4)Non-Functional Selection Grade (*Director/ Additional Economic Adviser, Equivalent to the posts of Director in the Government of India)
(5)Junior Administrative Grade (*Joint Director/ Deputy Economic Adviser/Deputy Adviser, Equivalent to the posts of Deputy Secretary to the Government India)
(6)Senior Time Scale (*Deputy Director/ Assistant Adviser/ Assistant Commissioner/Senior Research Officer, Equivalent to Under Secretary to the Govt.of India)
(7)Junior Time Scale(*Assistant Director)

With a wall-size photograph of Fanuc watching over the booth, Vander Kooij's Chubby Chairs were perched on shipping pallets at ICFF. Each chair is made from recycled plastic from refrigerators, ground down into a paste and printed, layer by layer, gradually building up the components of the chair. The 3D-printed plastic is as durable as a hard wood, and it's made entirely from recycled materials.
Even the waste from the production of Chubby Chairs is reused, making one-of-a-kind Chubby Coat Hangers. When the robot is changing colors, the leftover plastic is then repurposed into candy cane-like hangers, which come in sets of six in assorted colors.
Also on display at Vander Kooij's booth was the Flow Rocking Chair and the Pulse Low Chair, which come in a variety of colors. The Satellite floor lamp, which was recently revealed at Milan Design Week and is made from recycled CD cases, was also on display.
Fans of Vander Kooij who are visiting ICFF can catch the designer speaking at the ICFF Theater on Monday from 1:00 to 2:00. Material ConneXion's Dr. Andrew Dent will lead a symposium with Vander Kooij about his approach to design, materials and technology.

The Color of the Year: Eight Emerald Rooms
The color of the year is Emerald, according to color corporation Pantone. We've rounded up inspiring designer ideas on how to bring the energizing and radiant shade into your home.
New York event planner Bronson van Wyck set a tablescape with a green theme — candles, boxes, a pop of color on the tablecloth, and even a green chandelier. "The table is crowded enough to feel cozy, but it has breaks to create calm moments," he says. "Anything tall is thin, so nobody's view is blocked." Antique malachite boxes and objects inspired the green theme. Miniature Malachite Obelisks from Astro Gallery. Celadon Calcite Classic and Sea Urchin votives. Ithaque gold salad plates.

An explosion has ripped through a train in Pakistan's restive southwestern province of Balochistan, killing at least 14 people, officials said.
The bomb went off on the Rawalpindi-bound Jaffer Express in a carriage reserved for men in the town of Sibi about 160km south of the provincial capital of Quetta.
Local hospital treated 44 injured men and five seriously injured were flown to Quetta via helicopter, the district commissioner told Al Jazeera.
Two carriages of the train caught fire after the blast but the flames had since been extinguished, senior police official Mohammad Nazar said.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it came a day after paramilitary troops said they had launched an operation in the violence-racked province and killed around 40 armed men.
Resource-rich Balochistan is home to a long-running separatist conflict that was revived in 2004, with nationalists seeking to stop what they see as the exploitation of the region's natural resources and alleged rights abuses.

I have a dell XPS 400, running Windows XP Home Edition SP3. My last hard drive failed, so i used the Win 7 Enterpreise edition 90 day trial before i got my replacment discs. I got them, and installed XP. Everything is updated (through Widnows Update) and my video card still isnt upgraded. I have no clue what card i have, but i do know it was the original one that came with the computer. I bought it brand new. I opened up the computer, and took the video card out. I read the id's on the bottom, and they gave me NOTHING. The auto detect will not run on my computer (I open it, and i see if for less then a second then it closes itself.) When i go into the driver manager page, i double click on Video Controller (VGA compable) (there is also just Video Controller, ive done this to both) i click "reinstall drivers", following the directions above the button because i am running off of the MS default drivers. Ive googled MANY hours, and have found no way to figure out what card i have. Ive downloaded "Video card detecters" and nothing shows me anything. PLEASE HELP! I NEED ASAP!!!!

Other people's dreams are never interesting…except when they're about sex. Each week, our dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg tells one lucky reader what their dirty dream means. This week, a reader asks Lauri:
In real life, I had just come home from hanging and making out with a classmate — he's the first guy I've been interested in since my break up with my former long-term BF. Then I had this dream: I am making out with one of my good friend's fiancees!! Even though it's not actually the guy, I know it's him in my dream. I'm allowing him to cheat on her with me! I don't condone, nor have I ever cheated in my life, so when I woke up I felt so guilty even though I'd done nothing wrong. (I suppose it's relevant that I've never been attracted to this friend's fiancĂ© in my life). What do you think?
Lauri: I think the dream is not necessarily about your friend's fiancé but rather what he represents: commitment. You were in a very long committed relationship before and I'm sure that was hard as heck on you when it came to an end. And now, here you are, finally finding yourself interested in someone again! Kissing your classmate in real life helped you break a psychological barrier. You probably realized, "Hell yeah, I CAN see myself with someone else!" This was likely on your mind as you drifted off to sleep so your inner dreaming mind took it a step further for you by hooking you up with someone that is betrothed…. Because remember, it's not about your friend's fiancé but what he represents: a man that is commitment-worthy. I think it is interesting that you used the words "I'm allowing him." To me, it seems that – through this dream – you are allowing yourself to be open to a commitment again. That's a good, healthy dream you've got there young lady. Good luck to you!

WBTV Mistakenly Reports Death of Billy Graham
Shortly after 6:30 on Saturday morning, Charlotte CBS-affiliate WBTV reported that Billy Graham had died. The news was especially significant considering that Graham was born in Charlotte and has been a social luminary in North Carolina for decades.
In fact, the influential Christian leader was very much alive after spending a "restful night" at an Asheville hospital as he battles pneumonia.
Just before 7 a.m., WBTV anchor Kristen Miranda corrected the station's mistake. Read more

Medicinal honey can help heal skin wounds
Q: I was suffering from severe diabetes-induced osteomyelitis (bone infection with open ulcers) on my foot. I was prescribed Medihoney to treat the ulcer.
This is a waxy sheet of honey that you cut to the size of the wound before applying the bandage. It was soothing and worked to reduce the infection and help heal my foot.
With this treatment and subsequent hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments, the ulcer healed, and I didn't require an amputation.
A: We are delighted to learn that treatment with medicinal honey (Medihoney) helped heal your skin ulcers. Research supports the use of this product for wound care (Spinal Cord, February 2012; Journal of Clinical Nursing, February 2009).
Q: What is the dose of gin for the gin-soaked raisins? After about 6 ounces of gin and a half-pound of raisins, I must admit I felt no more pain!
Just fooling. Can you tell me how much is recommended per day for joint pain? I'd like some experiential knowledge from those who have obtained a positive result without getting soused.
A: Luckily, you do not have to get tipsy to benefit from gin-soaked raisins. The dose is nine a day. We had them analyzed, and there is approximately one drop of alcohol in that amount.
Q: I used to get skin tags removed by my doctor. Then my insurance stopped covering it, as they classified the problem as cosmetic. The collars on the shirts I am required to wear to work were irritating my skin tags, but that's the insurance company for you.
I'm going to try liquid bandage, since I saw on your website it might work. I'll see if this does the trick.
A: We learned about this remedy from readers of this column. One wrote: "This is a note of thanks and appreciation. Several years ago, I cut out your column regarding applying liquid bandage twice a day to make skin tags disappear. I never tried it until recently.
"One skin tag kept getting caught in my necklace. I remembered your article and bought the drugstore brand of liquid bandage. To my delight, within a week of applying it twice a day, the skin tag was gone. I've since tried this remedy on additional skin tags on my neck, and once again, they have also gone. I can't thank you enough."
Skin tags are benign fleshy growths that frequently appear where the skin folds, such as the armpits, neck or groin. They are not dangerous, but they can be annoying. Dermatologists can remove them surgically, but that could become costly if insurance won't pay.
Although home remedies are rarely tested in a scientific manner, readers of this column have reported success with a variety of treatments. You can read about other approaches at peoplespharmacy.com.
In their column, Joe and Teresa Graedon answer letters from readers. Send questions to them via peoplespharmacy.com.Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

NEW ORLEANS -A potentially record-breaking crowd ended the first weekend of Jazz Fest with an unforgettable performance from 'The Boss.'
And many said Bruce Springsteen's return also is a sign of New Orleans' comeback.
As soon as the passionate, two-and-a-half hour set began, tens of thousands of fans were on their feet to cheer on Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Some, like Amy Smith, were transported back to 2006, the last time Bruce Springsteen played Jazz Fest. That was eight months after Katrina and the raw, emotional set in a storm-ravaged city is remembered as one of the best in the festival's 40 year history.
'It was like religious,' said Smith, from New Orleans. 'It was beautiful.'
New Orleans has come a long way since then and Springsteen's return is a reminder of a new dawn.
'Sort of flashing back but in a good way, how far we've come, we've moved along, you know, kind of overcome it. Strength,' Smith said.
Springsteen spoke to the crowd in New Orleans, saying the show from 2006 stayed with him for a long time before playing 'My City of Ruins.' Before playing 'Jack of All Trades,' Springsteen addressed the mayor, speaking out on mental health care cuts, saying we should help those most in need.
'I've seen him over 50 times, and this hands down, he's playing to the crowd, he's playing songs that resonate with New Orleans. It's amazing,' said Shannon Gieda of Philadelphia. 'Honestly, he (addressed the crowd) more tonight that I've ever seen him do before. I think he's really feeling it with the crowd and the town and what they've been through.'
Fans spent the day anticipating Springsteen's performance. Just after the gates opened at 11 a.m., fans said nearly every spot within viewing distance of the stage had been staked out. A spokesman said he had never seen so many fans resort to watching from the dirt track surrounding the fairgrounds.
'We're standing near Porta-Pottys just to watch him so that should tell you that we love him,' said Gary Riddell, of Allentown, PA.
'We're rocking out out here on the race track,' South Carolinian Laura Bagwell said. 'The whole field is full! The whole track is full! This is the only place to be. Right here, right now. Planet Bruce forever!'
The festival's producer, Quint Davis, said Springsteen's' representatives requested his last-minute add to the line-up, a testament to the Boss' connection with the Crescent City.
'Dec. 2, I'm sitting at home in pajamas watching bowl games and Bruce Springsteen calls,' Davis said. 'But these are relationships.'
Meanwhile, fans like Michelle Hill, of New Orleans, said they were hoping for one thing.
'I'm hoping Bruce pulls me up just like he did Courtney Cox, and I'm going to dance just like she did,' Hill said while laughing. 'I've been working on my dance the whole time.'
And tens of thousands were having the time of their lives, knowing New Orleans has come so far from being a city in ruins.

Stockman giving up U.S. House seat to run against Senator Cornyn
(CNN) - Republican Rep. Steve Stockman is launching a primary challenge against fellow Texan Sen. John Cornyn.
The Senate's second-ranking Republican, Cornyn is up for re-election next year.
Stockman, a tea party favorite, told WND that he decided to challenge Cornyn in part because he undermined fellow Texan Sen. Ted Cruzs fight to derail Obamacare.
"And now, it looks like Cruz was right and Cornyn was wrong. He [Cornyn] sided with the President, essentially, in making sure Obamacare became law while Cruz did everything possible to stop it, Stockman said.
Texas Republican Party spokesman Spencer Yeldell confirmed reports that Stockman withdrew his application for his congressional seat and filed papers to run in the Senate race.
Monday was the filing deadline to enter the race. The primary is March 4.
Stockman was elected to the House last year and has been an outspoken critic of President Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Cornyn was elected to his second term in 2008, taking 55% of the vote against Democrat Rick Noriega.
Cornyn kicked off his re-election campaign last month at an event in Austin where he was joined by Texas Gov. Rick Perry and starts his campaign with a hefty war chest of about $7 million, according to Federal Election Commission records.
But with only $32,000 cash on hand, according to the FEC, Stockman has a steep financial deficit to overcome.
Cornyn's campaign manager said his campaign welcomes a discussion of Cornyn's conservative credentials.
Endorsed by Texas Right to Life and ranked as the 2nd most conservative Senator in America, Senator Cornyn looks forward to discussing his conservative record with Texans," Brendan Steinhauser said in a statement.
Cornyn also has the Republican establishment's support in his re-election.
"John Cornyn is one of the most conservative Members in the Senate and strong leader for the State of Texas. We proudly support Senator Cornyn and while this primary challenge is quite the head scratcher, it will be defeated," National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Brad Dayspring said in a statement.
Cornyn is one of seven Republican senators up for re-election next year to face a primary challenge.
Other Republicans challenging Cornyn's re-election are businessman Dwayne Stovall and attorney Linda Vega.

Hail, lightning on night of wild winter weather
Updated On: Jan 06 2014 03:03:39 PM HST
Thunderstorms dumped rice-sized hail in East Oahu just before sunset on Sunday. That kicked off a night of wild winter weather across the state.
After sundown, thunderstorms began generating frequent lightning over Oahu and Kauai.
Kauai fire officials say lightning caused a small brush fire in Lihue at around 6:40 p.m. No structures were damaged and no injuries were reported.

Preparing for the move to Office 365: Have you changed your password yet?
To prepare for the statewide upgrade to Microsoft Office 365, all users of NDSU Outlook email – including faculty, staff, and some teaching assistants and student employees – must change their password. Users who have not changed their password since July 1 should do so before Monday, Sept. 17. Instructions for changing your password are available at www.ndsu.edu/its/outlook-password.
Your best option for continued, uninterrupted access to your account is to change your own password in advance of the deadline. If you do not change your password before the deadline, the NDSU IT Help Desk will automatically reset your password to a default password to ensure that your account is moved to the new system.
After changing your password, you have the option to log in to the Office 365 Web portal at https://portal.microsoftonline.com to take a tour of the new system. You will not be able to access your email or calendar from the portal until after your account is moved during the weekend of the upgrade.
The statewide move to Office 365 will take place the weekend of September 22–23. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday until 6 a.m. on Monday, there is a possibility for brief email and calendar service interruptions as individual accounts are moved over to the new system.
After the upgrade, individuals who access email and calendar through software on their computer may receive an error message when logging in for the first time and will be required to reenter their email address and password to successfully log in. Users who are unable or choose not to access their account through software on their computer also have the option to access email and calendaring using a Web browser after the upgrade at https://portal.microsoftonline.com.
For more information about the move to Office 365, go to www.ndsu.edu/its/365-migration.

Call records lend weight to Sanjiv Bhatt's claimed presence at meeting with Modi
Telephone records accessed by The Hindu lend credence to a crucial affidavit filed by a journalist backing senior police officer Sanjiv Bhatt's claim to have attended the controversial 2002 meeting at Narendra Modi's residence where the Gujarat Chief Minister allegedly said Hindus should be allowed to vent their anger against Muslims in the wake of the Godhra carnage.
The records show Mr. Bhatt and the journalist, former BBC correspondent Shubhranshu Chaudhary, were at roughly the same location and talking to each other before the February 27, 2002 meeting between Mr. Modi and the State's top cops.
Mr. Bhatt has claimed — in depositions before the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team and in an affidavit — that he was present at the meeting and had heard the Gujarat Chief Minister instruct his officials to allow "revenge" attacks against Muslims. However, the SIT dismissed Mr. Bhatt as an unreliable witness and said none of the officials present at the meeting confirmed having seen him there. With Mr. Bhatt's presence itself in dispute, no credence could be attached to his account of what happened at the meeting, the SIT concluded.
The SIT, however, never examined Mr. Chaudhary, whose affidavit says Mr. Bhatt left an interview with him to go to Mr. Modi's residence that night.
Talking to The Hindu, Mr. Chaudhary recalled his own meeting with Mr. Bhatt at his home late in the evening on February 27, 2002. His version of events — portions of which are contained in an affidavit he has filed in the Supreme Court — is that he reached Ahmedabad that evening. He immediately fixed up to meet Mr. Bhatt, and after finding out the location of his house on phone, reached there around 9 p.m. At 9.30 p.m., Mr. Bhatt hurried out saying he had been summoned to attend a meeting at the Chief Minister's residence.

I wear eyeliner pretty much every day and wanted to try a waterproof one so I could avoid constantly having to reapply. This eyeliner was pretty disappointing, you need to press quite hard and the black pigment is definitely not dark enough. It seems to stay on better than my favorite mac pencil but it's definitely not worth the price and the overall effect is a bit meh.
More reviews by mexicancrackles
I have really oily eyelids and pretty much every eyeliner I use will smudge on me. This does smudge a little bit, but not as much as other eyeliners do. While I am glad I have it (I have the travel size) I would not pay full price for this.
If I'm gonna spend 20EUR for an eyeliner, I expect it to work wonders. This? Naah. Just a regular, plain, normal eyeliner. Yes, it is waterproof and the duration of it on the lids is quite good, but these assets are not difficult to be found at a MUCH cheaper drugstore eyeliner. Definitely not gonna spend that much money on a pencil eyeliner again. Sorry Benefit.
Love this liner. I wish it wasn't $20 though! Goes on smooth, clean, and crisp. Not tugging at my eye and it almost looks like gel or liquid liner. Lasts all day. It lasted me all night on a date without a smudge. The brown looks great with metallics and is easily smudged for a smokey eye. Definitely use an eye primer. That really helps with this liner.
This is not for people with oily lids. 3 stars for the fact that the line goes on really smoothly and the colour is really bold and black. However the colour tends to fade very quickly and I have even darker panda eyes. Applying a primer does not help, and it really ruins my makeup. Have also tried it for the waterline, but it smudges as easily. However, love the fact that there's a "smudger" at the end of the pencil, so smoky eyes can be easily achieved. 5 stars for packaging but will not repurchase.
Stays put all day. Nice texture. Sponge on the end is great for smudging to create a smokey look. Lasted
This is my second string liner. I like it a lot, but it's not true love. I have it in the black, and it's a lovely sort of true black with no undertones that I can see. That said, the main problem with this is that it's only mostly waterproof. It does a respectable job of staying on my upper lids without transferring if I am just doing a bit of shopping on a cool day. However, it it's too hot outside or I'm doing something strenuous, it bleeds a bit. It's not a big mess, but I enough that I need to touch it up some. I guess it's pretty good for a pencil. I think one probably needs a gel liner for particularly awesome staying power. So, this is my favorite pencil liner. Blacktrack by MAC is still the very best for staying power, but this is pretty good.
I have 2 of these - the grey one I love and it stays on all day but the brown one not so good. The colour is a bit insipid and it comes off after about an hour.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was bought this eyeliner in grey when the assistant recommended it. The softness of the grey was perfect for an everyday look as I wasn't too keen on black. I was really impressed with the grey actually and was so pleased that I also went for a brown one too!
The pencil is soft and silky and sharpens quite easily. It is a shame when the pencil breaks off but I guess that is just expected of pencil eyeliners.
I would definitely repurchase this product as I found it so long wearing and complimented my eyes' nicely. Great product :D
The eyeliner is nice after application, but it definitely does not last long enough for me. The mascara is definitely not waterproof, as it rubs off easily after in contact with rain (smudges). My lids sort of fold inwards (monolids), so the eyeliner smudges my lower lids. Apart from the smudging, the other side of the eyeliner is incredibly useful! It gets rid of the unwanted eyeliner marks, if you make a mistake. (I guess that part is to get rid of the smudges). I received this as a present, but most likely will not repurchase.

Video: Obree explains design of his record-attempt bike
Flying Scotsman gives the lowdown on the bike he'll use for his tilt at the human-powered land speed record
Here's a treat for you: a video of the great Graeme Obree explaining the design and building of the bike that he'll be using for his attempt at the human-powered land speed record in September.
We've featured one video from the Humans Invent website before, where The Flying Scotsman explains the motivation for his attempt. This time around, he talks in more depth about how he arrived at his idea of riding head first, and the actual development of the bike.
The mainstream media's perception the former world hour record holder and 4000m pursuit world champion, now 46, is that he's an eccentric inventor who knocks up stuff from spare parts in his kitchen… and that's about right. He comes across as someone with a hell of a passion for both the engineering and the riding.
Obree talks about the advantage of being both the engineer and the rider for his record attempt, in that he can adapt the design immediately to suit his requirements rather than having to go through a time-consuming back and forth to get it right.
He also explains how he's ended up using that old saucepan – the best known part of his record attempt story – to produce the shoulder supports for his bike.
"I thought the perfect thing would be a piece of stainless steel which will be relatively light and accessible, and it will probably end up lighter [than a component made from other materials] because if you use aluminium you'll have to bolt that onto the steel… and if you use glass fibre then you've got to use an awful lot of it so as it's not going to give way at some point.
"I thought, 'Hold on: sacrifice a saucepan.' The whole job from that point – shaping and silver soldering – took about two hours. There was no going anywhere to search for glass fibre or getting an engineer to make that component for me. It was saucepan to shoulder support in two hours without leaving my kitchen."
Anyway, we're giving away the plot. Take a look for yourself.
British ingenuity at its best, love the tartan touches.
hes mad !
Bit of a mad genius there I think. As much as I love my recumbent, I know I'd be faster facing forward and I'd love to have the skills to build something like that, not for speed, just for the pleasure of building and riding my one of bike.
Looks pretty cool though, once its all finished and given a touch of paint
hes mad !
Maybe, but he's brilliant as well, isn't he? The world needs more people like this.
Hope he has something left to cook enough pasta to fuel his record attempt.
I could be missing something here BUT how exactly is he supposed to pedal in that position?

Think of a recumbent bike, Upside down apart from the wheels and you won't be far off I think

Mad or an eccentric genius? I'd tend towards the latter description. I think he's a star - not enough people like him in fact.

Except he's Scottish.
he is as said in earlier post a little bit mad but also a real genius and i think he will succeed
Pain is weekness leaving the body
You do realise Scotland is in Britain right?
And was for a while known as 'North Britain.' Thankfully that didn't stick.
I can see why some people get confused though - isn't it The Guardian that each year during Wimbledon has a barometer graphic of how 'British' or 'Scottish' Andy Murray is, depending how he's doing?
In this year of all years, I'm making sure people know i'm Scottish (part of Britain for the moment)
Come 2014 we'll be able to show the world our stars, no matter if independence comes or not, It'll be Glasgow 2014 where Scotland will compete as Scotland
I so want this man to succeed.
Amen to that. He's a brilliant, eccentric, genius as well as an incredible cyclist. This is what British (or, OK, Scottish) engineering does best, and he's a lovely example of it. Shine on, Graeme!

Malakand forensic lab established by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, UNDP
Taliban in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa kill 2,199 since 2007
Official figures say 3,219 Taliban militants killed, arrested since 2008
By Iqbal Khattak
PESHAWAR -- The Taliban-linked militancy in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa killed 1,518 civilians and 681 police personnel from January 2007 through March 2010, according to official figures obtained by Central Asia Online.
The provincial government also said 334 militants were killed and 2,885 were arrested since the start of 2008. Militant deaths and arrests for 2007 were not provided.
The figures provided to Central Asia Online show that 742 civilians and 278 law enforcement personnel were killed in 2009, making it the bloodiest year in the last three-and-a-half years. The deaths were attributed to suicide bombings, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other Taliban attacks.
According to the official figures, civilian casualties almost doubled last year in comparison to 2008. In 2008, 409 people, including men, women and children, perished in attacks throughout the province.
Malakand region and the Peshawar, Hangu, Bannu and Tank districts were highly affected by the militancy. The federal government added these areas to "Category A" for which a special economic aid package has been announced.
The government did not provide casualty numbers by district. However, the Swat district in Malakand has suffered more than any other district under Taliban control. The government's military offensive has since expelled the militants.
During the past three and a half years, the Taliban carried out 112 suicide attacks, 632 EID attacks and waged 920 gun battles, missile and hand-grenade attacks. In 2009, there were 47 suicide attacks, 210 IED attacks and 470 other attacks on police and other law enforcement agencies and civilians.
Militant attacks have dropped significantly in the first six months of 2010, with only seven suicide attacks, 16 IED bombings and 31 other attacks, according to the official figures. These attacks have killed 114 civilians, 14 police and 39 other law enforcement personnel.
The decrease in the number of attacks is linked to the destruction of militant command-and-control structures during military operations in Swat and other districts of the Malakand region, Bajaur, Orakzai and South Waziristan, experts say.
Because of the province's deteriorating security situation, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government increased the police budget for fiscal year 2010-2011 by 117% to a record Rs 21 billion (US $246m).
Finance Minister Muhammad Humayun Khan told the provincial assembly last week that the increased police budget would help increase strengthen the police by building more police stations and equipping officers with the latest weapons and communication systems to take on the militancy more effectively.
"The prevailing law and order situation has increased expenditure manifolds. The province, despite having limited resources, has allocated adequate funds to police services. In the said backdrop, there is a sharp increase in the budget of police," Humayun said.
Last year, the police budget was less than Rs 10 billion (US $117m).
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government also increased the number of police personnel by 41.24% over the past two years to increase security in urban areas near borders with tribal districts.
According to the provincial government, 154 militants were killed and 1,764 were arrested in 2008; 138 were killed and 904 were arrested in 2009, and 46 were killed and 217 were arrested during the first three months of 2010.

Dear Qasim Jana Hoping you are well. I do not agree to the numbers. They have killed and assasinated more than 50000 innocent Pashtun. They are killers of Pashtun nation and are playing as agents for the Punjabi establishment. Regards Zar ali khan musazaiJune 15, 2010 @ 05:06:00AM zar ali khan musazai

Pittsfield lit up its Christmas tree, marking the start of the holidays. The event also honored a special group of people who should be remembered this season. YNN's Madeleine Rivera has the story.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- "I grew up going to the tree lightings as a kid, you know, and now, I'm the one who gets to push the button."
Carmen Provenzano's excitement is like that of a kid who got just what she wanted on Christmas. But she's a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, where she helped transport medical crews in Afghanistan. She came home last May.
"It's wonderful to be home," Provenzano said.
Especially for the holidays, as she was chosen to light the city's Christmas tree.
"I am extremely humbled and blessed to be asked," she said.
It's a special request from tree donators.
"The folks that donated the tree wanted to remain anonymous. But, they had one request and that request was to have a veteran light the Christmas tree," said Rosanne Frieri, director of the city's veteran services.
The request is symbolic, reminding us to keep in mind those who are still in service.
"We have so many veterans that are deployed. And, it's so important to the community not to forget that we do have soldiers overseas," said Frieri.
Provenzano says she's staying in the Air Force until it's time to retire.

The price is pretty expensive for a drugstore product. But, the packaging is cute I really like the light pink color to it, it also has a bit of sparkle! I think it's a good product might buy some more colors.
Demure is a great name for this because you can barely see it. The color payoff is horrible for the price. I've had better payoff from $2 Wet'n Wild lip products. For $2 more I can buy a MAC lipstick with better payoff as well. The only way you can tell I have any lip product on is if I use foundation on my lips first and even then it's barely there. It's called "Colorburst" so I expected a bit more pigment. So -1 lippie for that.
I also subtracted another lippie because it has a strong peppermint smell which I don't like. I don't think any lip product other than Burt's Bees chapstick should smell like this does.
And finally -1 lippie because it has glitter for some reason and has a rough feeling when being applied. Based on appearances I thought it would have a smooth application.
Luckily I did not buy this product myself but received it in a gift bag. Based on the colour of the packaging, I did not think this shade would suit my fair complexion at all, but I was wrong. It is a very pretty nude (although it has glitter which I don't like) that works well with my skin tone. I find most Revlon lip products to be very drying, but this product is much more "comfortable" on the lips. The colour is very sheer and you really need to layer it on to get any colour payoff at all. It has very little lasting power and you are left with glitter all over your lips. I would not purchase this product myself.
Revlon, we love most of your lip products, but please, please find a way to do things without the chunky glitter flecks. Glitter sitting on your lips after the color wears off is never fun. The color of Demure is more that of a peachy pink lip gloss without the goop. Honestly even as sheer as it is, and as not that great feeling on the lips (I expected much more of a moisturizing feeling) I would be happy with this color. But it is that darn gritty texture of the glitter flecks and the glitter sitting on my lips I hate. I wanted juicy. Looks like I will have to just splurge on the Clinique ones. FYI - The matte balms by Revlon are better because they don't leave glitter (matte ya know :) and the color lasts longer.
This particular shade is barely a lipstick at all. It is pretty packaging, and the product color is nice, but the texture is God awful. It's a very thin and sheer shade, so you have to apply a lot of it for any color to show. Then it gathers in the center of your mouth and goops up as a milky color. It also doesn't last nearly as long as the other shades in this line, and it feels bad on my lips. I know nudes are a popular choice, but avoid this one and go for Ingenue or Coy. Some of the other lacquer balms do not have the glitter and they're much better. This one is just the worst of all of them.

I've been eyeing the Revlon Balm Stains for a while now, so I picked up the Lacquer balm in Demure today. When I swatched it on my hand, it was such a pretty, light pink color with sparkles. However, on my lips, it barely showed up, and it looked like I just had a colorless balm on. I can never seem to find light pink colors that actually show up on my lips, but aren't an overwhelming hot pink color.
I like the packaging and the feel of the product on my lips, but this is not the shade for me.
Product - Demure is a milky pink glittery gloss in solid form. From the product name "Colorburst Lacquer", I had assumed this would be well pigmented and glossy. With one swipe it's nothing special - just a slightly glossy tint of color - like a tinted lip balm. The second swipe provides more color payoff (though not full coverage) and more glossiness but also glitter. The glitter was a surprise. Shimmer would have been a pleasant surprise, but the glitter was not. It's the kind of cheap/tacky glittery sparkles found in makeup aimed at little girls. I rubbed my lips together and the gloss was gone - seriously. Where did it go?? And unfortunately the glitter remained. Additional swipes resulted in better coverage and less obvious glitter, but then it sat on my lips like an average thick goopy wanded liquid gloss - and the color was a nearly-skintone cool-pink which was not flattering for my yellow-undertoned (AAB/NC25) coloring. Also, the gloss tended to highlight every imperfection in my lip texture (pooling under dry flakes - lovely, right?), so now I'm glad I didnt get a darker shade! I gave up and wiped my lips off with a tissue but the glitter stayed put.
Packaging - Twist up chubby pencil, which requires no sharpening (yay!). Body casing represents the color inside. Gold plastic cap.
Comparisons to other products - I was under the impression that this is intended to be glossy lipcolor, with good color payoff, something akin to Tarte Lipsurgence Lip Tints but with more pigmentation. I'm a fan of the Lipsurgence products and was hoping to find a comparable drugstore alternative. But I'm sufficiently disappointed by this Colorburst Lacquer purchase that I am highly unlikely to try other shades. Sorry, Revlon.
Overall - I can't get past the cheap glitter. But even without the glitter I'd still be disappointed. continued >>

I'm a big fan of the original Revlon Kissable Balm Stains, but I'm not hugely impressed with the lacquer versions. I picked up the shade Demure, which I thought would be a nice everyday shade. But the glitter is horrible. It makes the whole thing completely unwearable. First, you can feel the grit of the glitter when you first apply it. And then when the balm itself wears away you're just left with disco ball lips-- I'm not a fan. I gave two lippies for the shade itself, but because of the glitter I will not be repurchasing.
More reviews by skandelouslala
Revlon doesn't exactly make it clear how these Lacquer balms differ from the Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, I mean I thought those were pretty darn glossy myself and they really weren't all that....stain-y. Well these are the same concept, only placed in the Colorburst family and they gave them shimmer. You know how Tarte has the regular Lipsurgences and then the shinier ones that are full of shimmer and then the matte ones... well Revlon has copied that, which is cool but overall making the Lacquer ones not that exciting.
Demure is a little warmer on my lips than it looks in the tube. It is a milky pinky peach nude... you know that shade that has been wildly popular for forever. I wasn't expecting the milky factor so I was a little meh on that, but it's an okay color. You can't really see the shimmer initially, but you sure can feel it when applying this color, it feels noticeably gritty. It moisturizes my lips okay, and the pigment is okay... but it doesn't last very long. I find myself needing to reapply this more often than I would like. And because it is warmer than I was hoping, I worry about that "is it going to look orangish around my lip line" factor. When it fades it leaves behind that silver shimmer. Some people are gonna like that, others are gonna hate it. And oh yeah, it has a peppermint smell.
For $8 I'm not all that impressed. In fact I am completely MEH on the product/color/everything about it general. I don't think I'll be trying other shades. I really hope the matte ones redeem themselves for me.

Demure is a shiny shimmery pale nude-peach lip laquer. It goes well on the application,it last fairly long with a lip liner. I apply it as well with a lip gloss! A pale translucide peach lip gloss looks verry good with it! Love it!

Enjoy the Journey
When you're a writer, it's easy to get hung up on where you want to be, instead of appreciating where you are. Sometimes it feels like the writers with bestselling books or big deal publishers have won the lottery...and you aren't even sure where to buy a ticket.
But there are some wonderful perks to being unpublished...yes, perks! that you may not have considered.
1. You can write what you want. Just think--this may be the last time you get to write a book that pleases you. You can write what you want, when you want, however you see fit, without anyone telling you it's not marketable enough, or that it doesn't fit a desirable niche. Enjoy it.
2. You can take as long as you like. Need to spend five years on that book to really get the feel for your protagonist? Go ahead...you're not under contract to write three books in three years.
3. Tired of rewriting? You can start something new. Unpublished authors don't have to deal with the expectations of agents and publishers, so they can write to please themselves. That's how they get good, by writing a lot and trying new things when it's still fun.
4. You don't need a lawyer or an agent. You might not even need an accountant. Publishing contracts can be scary and confusing. Unless you're a skilled negotiator, you may want some help wading through one.
5. Your potential is still limitless. Maybe you will be the next J.K. Rowling or Stephen King. Maybe you will write the classic novel of our time...who knows? When your publishing history is well-established, you will have a strong indication of where you stand. Before you're published you can dream as big as you like. There are no limits.
6. Writers are still your comrades in arms. When you're an unpublished author, there is no end of like-minded people to commiserate with. But when you land an agent, that pond gets much smaller, and when you get published, it shrinks again. Look at your writing friends now, appreciate them, and accept that they might not feel the same way about you once you find success.
7. No one is judging you but yourself. Right now, you're your own worst critic. Get published, and you will find people dying to tear you a new one on Amazon.
8. You're not pigeonholed. Similar to #1, just because you've written a mystery for teens doesn't mean you have to keep writing them. But once you get published, your readers (and your publisher) will understandably want more of the books that they're loving and selling.
9. The only pressure is self-inflicted. The more popular you are as an author, the more pressured you are to keep repeating that success. Right now, the only person you have to answer to is you.
I often feel the conflict between "live each day like it's your last" and "think long term". There's a danger in truly living each day as if it's our last--imagine what would happen if everyone quit their job, cashed in their savings, and moved to Aruba.
But there is a way to enjoy every step of the process. Whenever you're fretting over not being published, remember the advantages you do have, and enjoy them while you still can. It's kind of like being single--those carefree days are only truly appreciated by the married.

Great post. I have been thinking about the same thing. It is really important to appreciate where you are and realize the excitement of possibility is better than the stress of responsibility.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your comment, and welcome to the blog!ReplyDelete
I am able to appreciate this period of my life so much more after having an agent than I was beforehand. I used to obsess about getting an agent and being published, but now I am able to recognize the beauty of this stage as well.
That said, you may not want to read today's post! But I hope you will return and continue to share your thoughts. It means a lot that you took the time to comment--thank you.
I really enjoyed this post, Holli. There is always something positive to be found if you look closely enough. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Laura. I was just thinking about all the advantages to being in this stage, and it seemed like a good blog post to write. It's easy to take what we have for granted, until we move to the next stage and can look back. Since I've been in both stages, I can have this perspective...not sure if that's a good thing or not! :)ReplyDelete
Really good post, and some great thoughts on the topic Holli!ReplyDelete
Thanks, MM. I appreciate the comment. And trust me, it's all true...as you will discover!ReplyDelete

Construction-related injuries also decreased across the city last year—falling from 165 reported accidents in 2010 to 152 in 2011, a reduction of 7.8 percent.
New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri recently announced an 18 percent decrease in construction-related accidents in New York City for 2011. Accidents fell from 157 in 2010 to 128 in 2011. Construction-related injuries also decreased across the city last year—falling from 165 reported accidents in 2010 to 152 in 2011, a reduction of 7.8 percent.
There were five construction-related fatalities in 2011, an increase from four fatalities in 2010.
While the most common construction accident remains workers falling, the number of workers who were injured in a fall declined from 66 in 2010 to 52 in 2011, a 21 percent decrease. Of the five construction-related fatalities in 2011, all involved construction workers who were killed as a result of improper procedures on the job site, such as a lack of fall protection and improper construction practices.
To increase industry awareness and provide more oversight, the city's Department of Buildings has implemented more than 25 new construction safety laws since 2008. These include:
The number of initial construction permits—including new buildings, major and minor alterations, and demolitions—increased by 7.7 percent from 80,675 to 86,895 in 2011.
