For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email email@example.com.
Is is my imagination? I posted a message some 30 minutes ago looking for a programmer got removed?
Is this not the right forum to post? if yes, which is appropriate place?
thank you.
The Job Board is the appropriate place. Solicitation is not allowed as per the forum rules.
RoyRubin - 15 April 2008 12:55 PMThe Job Board is the appropriate place. Solicitation is not allowed as per the forum rules.
Sorry, Roy, I didn't aware of this. I saw posts before that people were looking for designers and programmers and I didn't see the 'not allowed' reply.
Job Board it is.
Job board is $75 per post? Good luck with that.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
The forum rules is a blank page.
I like Magento and agree with how they are approaching building a business around an open source product. However, puting limitations on people simply looking to hire people is backwards.
Varien should be encouraging product adoption. If someone is looking for a Megnto expert, they should not get charged to do so. Instead, come up with ways of charging the experts who are actually making money from this. It's backwards to charge people to find someone who can help them, and then they need to pay that person also!
Varien is stifling the product adoption rate by making it difficult to find and hire experts.
If you want Magento to get the credit it deserves and be used for many websites, then make it EASY for people to use it. This includes finding people to help.
If this is not resolved the web will simply find another way. Simple as creating a Magento forum. Or PM'ing people privately. Instead of forcing your customers to hide in the shadows, embrace them. Don't make it difficult for us just so you can make a buck. There is other ways of making money you know.
@Danny Halarewich - making it difficult for you to make a buck? Really? Didn't we just give you Magento for free. I think we are making it rather easy.
I do realize that the expectations are high, but unfortunately we do have costs and bills to pay. This is the reality. In all honesty, I don't think we are asking much. If the price is too steep, there are other channels to look for professionals.
I find it silly that you are patrolling the forums, deleting posts from people who WANT to use Magento and are looking to pay someone for some help. Why don't you charge the people getting paid for the work? That sounds reasonable.
Instead you are charging us $75 ($99 in May) to find someone that could help us out with possibly VERY small tasks? There are lots of people that want to use Magento but need a little help. Varien isn't making it easy for us.
Your model for becoming licensed to offer Magento solutions, etc. is fine. Your model for getting educated about the product is great. But stifling the community of users who are willing to pay people for some help by forcing out another $75 or $99 fee to post an ad for 1 month is holding you back.
Again, make money from the people that are making money from Magento by offering it as a tool.
Yes, you offer Magento for free. That's great. "Need some help? Well that's gonna cost you."
I'm just saying instead of all the rules and time you are wasting patrolling the forums, why not let people connect with eachother in the proper fashion? Or at least make the cost reasonable (sitepoint) for people looking for some help. Or check out how freelanceswitch.com has their job board setup.
$75 (and soon to be $99) to ask for some help is not a good approach. You're just forcing everyone to use other methods and bypass your system.
$5 to $10 is reasonable. I bet that thing would be full right now if it were $10. I would have posted already and would probably post quite often for numerous jobs. At $75 or anything over $15 I will never post. I will just go to GAF and find someone there for free or $5 or whatever it cost there.
Not to mention the fact that Magento has zero documentation making bewildered users turn to others who might be able to figure out how the thing works. Perhaps that is their idea for creating a revenue stream, don't document the software and charge people to ask for help with the software.
Personally I can see this project quickly being forked.
I have to agree here. Unless someone is looking to hire a full time developer, this "Job Board" does not meet their needs. Consider that when a post costs $99 and the "job" may be something as small as an install or fix and cost no more than ~$100. That would be a 100% surcharge. Better off posting requirements on GAF, RAC, etc for free and you also get the additional assurance of ratings and escrow.
Not to mention that deleting posts in what is supposed to be an open source community is never a good idea.
Hopefully Varien will listen to feedback and make adjustments. Maybe a $5 per post to keep it business like. The "pay to view" job postings is also a good idea since I'm sure if a developer generates income on the software they would be happy to pay a subscription for new leads. Could even include access to Job Board as part of the Community Pro membership or partnership levels to make those more attractive. Lots of ways to generate income without stifling participation.
I think the idea of paying to view posts is the best model, any developer who wants some paid work would then just subscribe, or maybe the easiest method would be to make it that development requests can only be read by community Pro members to encourage greater take up of pro membership.
Roy and his team has delivered us a great product and oppurtunity with Magento, I think we all agree on that. Thus, I believe we should try to see it a bit more from their side as well - we cannot expect to have everything for free all the time.
Example: The transaction cost for a programmer on RAC is 15% flat. That means, a job listing fee of $99 on the Magento Job Board equals the normal fee for a job worth $ 660 (not even close to a full time job). So, if the job is billed with more than $ 660, we are in fact saving fees.
Also, what makes this job board a bit different from other "Software Buyer boards", is that at www.magentocommerce.com the user most probably will get free assistance from the Community Forum solving the very SMALL tasks (including free assistance from the Magento Team themselves). If every small "job" or "fix" goes to the JOB Board, maybe the backside of that will be that the now excellent supportive community will be less responsive.
So in my opinion, at least for the typical buiness user, paying a fee of $99 will not be something to make a complaint about. But again, for some users of Magento, such as a small start-up business or in the non-profits sector, that might be different.
One topic that has not been discussed: If I have paid $99 to post a JOB, but have still not found anyone that can do the job within the 1 month frame / or someone that can do the job within my budget (to be fair, that also happen when I advertise my car for sale, and have to pay for a new listing fee because it is has not been sold within the listing time, but then normally the listing feet is less than $99).
And still, no one is as per today advertising on the JOB Board.
All in all, maybe it is better to let the programmer pay to view the advertisers contact information (as suggested above). Obviously, the fee should then be less than $75. Maybe $5 / $10 or $15 a month, or $75 a year. This will lead to more job listings, and make sure that also this part of 'Mangento' will stay within magentocommerce.com.
Well using the car analogy what we currently have is we have been given this amazing flash porsche sportscar that runs on LPG but the guy building it didn't quite finish it so you need to finish assembling it yourself. The trouble is you were not given a workshop manual and porsche in fact don't publish one so to finish your project you have to find a mechanic to build it for you. Trouble is because it runs on LPG you can't just ask any old mechanic you have to find one that has experience in the relatively new LPG technology. Trouble is in order to find such a mechanic you have to walk into the garage and put $100 on the table just to find out if any of the mechanics there are able to take on your project.
I agree that Varian are not producing Magento out of the good of their hearts they are doing in it to make themselves a living because previously they were building custom sites using osCommerce that had limitations. They decided that they could build their own commerce system rather than working from the now significantly dated osCommerce core. If the software becomes popular they should do well out of it by building custom solutions for customers. By being the key developer of the software who better to turn to for help with big projects, nice and profitable for Varien.
It is good for them that they are finding other ways to get some income from the project such as the community pro membership but saying "see it a bit more from their side as well" is just not how business works. It is all about customer perception, why do you think people despise companies like Microsoft ? It is because they do things their way without considering the customers perspective. Customers do not expect to bend to fit in with a company (be that right or wrong) they expect corporations to work to their expectations. So what I'm trying to say is that for something to succeed especially in the difficult to please open source community it has to not appear as a blatant way of extracting money. The whole idea of paying to post a single job ad is completely backwards to what people expect but if I were a developer I would probably feel quite happy about buying a community Pro membership so that I could see the posts for help. Because at least I would be getting some other features for my money even if I didn't get any work out of it. As a user also I might consider buying a Pro membership so I could post requests as I could post a number of requests for various things during the year membership and at the same time get all the other features of the Pro membership. So even if I don't find a developer I haven't just blown $100 for a 1 month ad I have paid for a Pro subscription and at least got something out of it.
Having developers pay for a Pro membership would show that they consider it to be an investment to be part of the Magento community. Likewise if people wanting help had to be Pro members it would show they were serious about using magento not just wasting everyones time. This would be better for the end user and I believe for Varien as people are likley to renew their membership each year if Varien makes membership worthwhile. The more Pro members the better their cash flow as there is a constant income from it, not just a one off charge for a single job post.
I emailed magento via their ticket system about their installing the script service for my site. they never wrote back. I guess I am going to GAF. Should be easy to find someone there. I am not tech and cant do it myself.

I thought that this was a particularly intriguing observation...
This brings to mind a related observation by Albert-Laszlo Barabasi [webmasterworld.com] that (paraphrasing) "the human body is an example of a dynamic network that has evolved over millions of years. The internet is less than 30 years old."
Anyway, if anyone cares, Slashdot found the interview, and many posters there think the interview is all hype.
Interesting opinions on the Death of Page Rank - the problem of not using PR is that we go back to the the keyword laiden domain names scenario... not pretty.

and according to www.gigablast.com, Gigablast has
I know which one will have the lower overhead cost structure - Gigablast is already over 200 million pages running on 8 PCs!
The use of the word "moderate" on Nutch's site is ambiguous. I meant several million searches per day (~50/second peak). One can also use Nutch to build a 200M page web search engine for less than $10,000, but it probably wouldn't be able to handle more than a few queries per second. I'll clarify that on the website.
Collecting and searching 200M pages is not very expensive. What's expensive is handling lots of traffic.
I have no idea how much traffic Gigablast sees, but I'd be surprised if they're handling millions of searches per day over 200M pages on just $8,000 of hardware.
Well, most of the answers are in the message just before your posting
6 queries per second and 250 million pages is comparible to nutch/lucene on 10 servers if you tweak out the configuration well enough.. You have to figure that even a good percentage of the queries can be cached by os based on trends as not every query is unique.
However 40 queries per second seems a little high.. i can squeeze that through nutch running a benchmark program based on dictionary terms (As they would be cached "warmed up" over time)
When you do 40queries per second, is that single term or with joins, an "and" or "or" type query?

A simple binary mixing model is used to determine the isotopic ratios of lead (Pb) pollution sources to a lake located near a smelter closed because of excessive Pb aerosols (Horseshoe Lake Madison County, Illinois, USA). As a control, we also examine a relatively unpolluted lake in a rural area of Southern Illinois (Horseshoe Lake Alexander County). Sediment cores were taken from both lakes and analyzed for Pb and Pb isotopes by ICP-MS. The mixing model shows that Madison County Horseshoe Lake had 3 different sources of Pb in its history. The first source is sediment from the Mississippi River with an intermediate 206Pb/207Pb ratio (1.223 ± 0.009) which dominates inputs in pre-settlement times. From 1750 to 1933, the source of pollution Pb has the high 206Pb/207Pb ratio (1.256 ± 0.005) characteristic of ore from the southeast Missouri Pb mines. The most recently deposited pollution Pb comes from a source with a low 206Pb/207Pb ratio (1.202 ± 0.005). This source is similar in isotopic composition to pollution Pb found by several other investigators in the Eastern US and probably represents the mixture of ores used in modern industrial processes. It is unclear from the isotopic composition whether this source at Horseshoe Lake is the local Pb smelter or vehicle exhaust. The sediment core from Horseshoe Lake, Alexander County, shows a less variable isotopic composition. The binary mixing model showed a source composition of 1.225 ± 0.003 before 1850 and 1.231 ± 0.003 after this date. The change does not indicate a pollution source, but may be a shift in the sources of natural sediment with slightly different isotopic ratios to the lake. Our results show the value of simple binary mixing models to reconstruct the isotopic composition of Pb sources to lakes.

'This Is the End': Does the raunchy comedy's unusual premise pay off?
(Read article summary)'This Is the End' stars comedy regulars Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, and others as... themselves. Does the conceit make for an entertaining film?
Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP
Not surprising: Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Jay Baruchel, and other raunchy comedy standbys starring in a movie together.
The surprise comes when you run an eye down the cast list of the movie "This Is the End" and see the roles they're playing. Seth Rogen: playing Seth Rogen. Jonah Hill: Playing Jonah Hill. James Franco… well, you get the idea.
"This Is the End" follows a group of friends – the movie stars that you already know well from Judd Apatow-directed movies such as "Superbad" and "Knocked Up," as well as other films – as they suddenly find themselves in the midst of apocalyptic events. But, as noted above, all the movie stars are playing themselves, albeit fictionalized versions of themselves. Sort of.
Seth Rogen told the website Screen Rant that while the actors play themselves in exaggerated ways or do things they wouldn't do in real life, much of the dialogue was improvised by the actors, who have become very good at needling each other offscreen.
"It's so silly to have all these guys in a movie together and not let them riff off each other," Rogen said of letting the actors improvise. "You know, that was always our plan."

I didn't see happiness until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding… Many ppl are out here trying to destroy our sad empire… What we've work so hard to build by spreading lies ...

While it took Rob some time and some dates with other women, he's finally ready to take Kristen back, and to figure out a way to make it work!
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson fans unite! The adorable twosome appear to be back together! Although Rob was reportedly hooking up with other girls such as Dylan Penn and Riley Keough, none of that mattered when it came to the love he felt for Kristen.
Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart Get Back Together
"He hasn't fully forgiven her, but he has processed what she did," a friend of the couple told Us magazine, speaking of the cheating incident in July 2012. "He has been hanging out enough with other girls to get perspective."
Apparently hanging with those other women showed him just what he was missing in Kristen!
"They are in constant contact," the source said. "He misses his quiet times with her."
This comes on the heels of their reunion on Oct. 30, after they spent three hours hanging at his place. They went on a hike with their pups, which we told you Rob used as an excuse to see Kristen, then left to go to Kristen's. However, paparazzi caught them and ended their reunion early.
"They have to be secretive. They will drive far away if it means they can be alone," a source close to Rob, 27, told the mag. "It's the only way they can rebuild."
And rebuild they will do! Kristen and Rob want to be together, a friend told Us, and that's evident in their behavior!
On Nov. 2, Kristen, 23, joined Rob at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery for another hang out session before jetting off to New York to film Anesthesia, HollywoodLife.com told you exclusively.
Kristen & Rob Can't Wait To Be Back Together
Kristen is really excited about the possibility of them getting back together.
"Kristen definitely wants to see Rob again. They had a great time together and she said all they did was laugh," Kristen's friend told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "She's had a busy last few days filming in New York, but took some time out to hang out in Central Park with a couple of friends. Filming has been pretty intense, but Kristen is overall in really good spirits."
Rob will be heading to Morocco soon to film Queen of the Desert, and wants to spend as much time as possible with Kristen before then!
We're so excited about them getting back together — are you?

What i do not realize is in fact how you are not actually much
more well-liked than you might be right now. You are
very intelligent. You understand therefore significantly relating
to this subject, made me for my part believe it from so many
various angles. Its like women and men aren't fascinated except it is one thing to
accomplish with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs excellent.
Always care for it up!

I used to love the whole "Robsten" thing. Now it's just got annoying and repetitive. These headlines keep saying "why he took her back" but I really think it should be saying why she took him back. I mean really he was constantly seen with Katy Perry when they were together and then when they broke up. He's constantly been in the tabloids for hooking up with various women or being drunk all the time. His family doesn't want him to go back to her? I wouldn't want her in reaching distance of him. He's not the man I idolized for 5 years.

Media Release: Addo staff do their bit on Mandela Day
Back to all news
Date: 18th July 2013
Addo Elephant National Park staff are hard at work in and around the Park, doing their bit for Mandela Day.
The Park's flagship project is renovating the home of a 73-year-old grandmother, who has a granddaughter and three great-grandchildren living with her. Known to the Park's staff as "Ouma" or Mam'Tshawe, Jeanette Lindiwe Makaza was at first hesitant to give away her age, only divulging that she was "a few years younger than Madiba".
Ouma and her family, her 27-year old granddaughter and the youngsters, aged six and eight years and eight months old, live on the border of the Park just as one turns off the R335 to enter the Main Camp. Her father used to work for the Park, and she's lived there all her life.
The preparation work started yesterday. Work is still in full swing - since early this morning. Park contractors have also come on board to assist. Boarded up windows have been replaced with new windows sponsored by PG Glass in Uitenhage. Cracked walls inside and out were plastered and given a fresh coat of paint, with paint brushes supplied by Uitenhage Sawmills. Faulty taps and pipes were replaced in the kitchen and shelves were installed in the two bedrooms. Bushes surrounding the home are being removed, new fencing was erected and the administration staff washed the cupboards and all the contents of the kitchen. Zenobia Trading donated cleaning materials, and the most generous sponsorship was that of a double bed and two three-quarter beds for the family by Vitafoam.
Asked what she thought of the hordes of people in and around her home today, Ouma simply said, "It makes my heart very, very happy. I'm so grateful."
While all of this was happening, Mam'Tshawe and her family were treated to lunch courtesy of the Park Restaurant, and then hosted to a game drive. She was beaming as she returned to her home afterwards, which had already undergone an amazing transformation since she'd left. "It was my first time on one of these trucks," she said. "I saw lots and lots of elephants, but no lion," she chuckled. She also couldn't stop thanking everyone working on her home, even though there was still much to be done at the time.
The Park's tourism staff collected money amongst themselves and have bought groceries for the family. Bedding and curtains not used in the Park's accommodation units will also be donated, while a number of individual staff members have donated items of clothing and bedding.
Other projects happening in and around the Park include a clean-up of the staff village. The litter collected will be recycled. The Park's People and Conservation Department are also assisting the St Reginald Primary School outside Kirkwood to start up a veggie garden.
Addo Elephant National Park's management would like to thank all their partners who participated through their generous donations, as well as their staff who gave up of their time to assist the less fortunate.

It's 6 p.m. and the air is freezing. Normally, I don't mind it but tonight the moon is a thin unfriendly scythe that accentuates the cold.
Karate night has us out of the house and headed to the dojo. Mom and only one of the boys, that is, since the other didn't want to go. I let him stay because I don't believe in forcing children into something they might resent. Should I force him? It's hard to know.
The first few days after the Christmas holidays usually debut with the boys waking up on the ruffled side of the bed and dawdling on their way to school. Routines be gone, my boys would do anything to stay home. Same for karate classes, but unless there's a fever, broken legs or a typhoon, school and karate classes are on.
Well, today I break my own rules and accept an imaginary typhoon.
Once at the dojo, I head straight for the sensei and ask point blank: What if the kid who seemed committed says he doesn't like it anymore? I ask for a solution that will preserve my son's dignity, not chip away at his joy of doing things and will also show him how to tackle challenges like this one. A tall order.
The sensei listens and offers an answer. Teaching kids along the way has taught him something. Give him something to look forward to, he says, like trying something until he reaches a milestone, the next colour belt in this case. If karate does not make sense to him after, he's off the hook, no questions asked. Fair for both.
A straightforward answer which will leave me and my son with a taste of "I tried that, I learned from it"
Sensei's consideration reminded me of a simple concept, as old as the world itself: It takes a village to raise a child. The one caveat: You have to let the village know you have parenting struggles just like anyone else. No inadequacy or fear of judgment whatsoever.
Until recently, I used to think that I should have all the parenting answers. I also expected them to be the right ones. Neither is true. Feeling confident as a parent is not easy. One day you're up, the next you're picking your wits off the floor. As kids, their needs and worries grow, so do the parenting challenges.
I often don't have the right answer or an answer. When that happens, I put on a brave face, hope for one and tell myself, "This too shall pass."
It's not that it doesn't, it's how it does. Some answers I have, and some I'll find along the way with the help of others. We should be in it together; it works better for our children. We just need to ask.

Chelsi Henry doesn't view herself as a politico; she's an advocate.
"I've always had an interest in being able to serve others and be an advocate for others. Since I was a young girl, I knew that I wanted to be an attorney and be able to use my skills to help people in the public sector," said Chelsi.
And she has definitely succeeded.
Chelsi uses her voice to advocate for others through prayer, entrepreneurship, and political involvement. Chelsi stays busy promoting conservative values within...
Labor Day marks the end of summer and the return of many special American traditions...children return to school, the football season begins, leaves change color...and Sutton's Place returns from an extended summer hiatus.
The political season is upon us as well. Rather than an occasional commentary every week or two, Sutton's Place will be very active during the next several weeks. So expect to see more frequent observations and opinions (at least through Election Day).
Let's start with a discussion of the relatively obscure Democrat primary for Governor in Rhode Island. Who thought RI's Dem primary would hold a valuable lesson for conservatives?
Check out this op-ed from the Washington Post. It details the candidacy (and victory) of Gina Raimondo who championed an aggressive restructuring of public sector employee union pensions in RI.
You may recall the attempt to recall Governor Scott Walker in Wisconsin, an important campaign which drew our attention. But on the same day that recall attempt failed, there were two very important referendums in California that deserved our attention as well.
Campaign Manager Zachary Werrell orchestrated one of the greatest upsets in political history at the age of 23.
Despite being outspent nearly 40 to 1, Zach's candidate Dave Brat defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor with 56% of the vote in the Republican primary. This was the first time a sitting House Majority Leader has been defeated since the position was created in 1899.
His success is thanks to an overwhelming grassroots campaign and effective political activists.
"It wasn't some establishment machine kind of political campaign, but it was the people doing it," he said.
Zach credits most of the techniques he used to pull off this upset to his Leadership Institute training.
"There is nothing like baptism through fire to fully appreciate...
At only 23 years old, Jennifer Sullivan just won her election and became the youngest woman ever elected to the Florida legislature. Jennifer's fresh face will join the Florida House of Representatives in January.
Last week, Jennifer won the Florida House District 31 seat, despite being criticized and outspent by the opposition. Opponents ran ads critiquing her for being "too young" and "lacking experience." She also recalls being outspent by 2-1 or 3-1 depending on the candidate, but that wasn't enough to stop Jennifer Sullivan.
"Part of that was really just putting myself out there, and doing the hard work of making those cold calls, being willing to sit down and call people to ask for money," Jennifer said.
Jennifer was motivated to run for office because she couldn't sit back and watch the country fall apart any longer.
Just a few years ago, Elliot Echols was an economics student at Berry College in his home state of Georgia, and now he is the RNC National Youth Director.
Elliot's advice to other hardworking young conservatives aspiring to make a difference is surprisingly simple.
"The best way to get a job in politics is to show up," he said. "Go to your local county meetings, join conservative groups and volunteer. People notice those who work hard and are selfless. I was able to get my job here at the RNC by showing up and letting my previous work speak for itself."
"My advice to emerging leaders is to stay true to your values. Make honesty and integrity a priority in everything you do," said Nate Morris of Rubicon Global.
Nate, co-founder of Rubicon Global and trusted friend of Sen. Rand Paul (KY), has proven himself a strong leader in the private sector as well as the conservative movement.
Nate was one of former President George W. Bush's youngest fundraisers.
"Make a start. It can be daunting, but everyone can make a difference," Live Action Founder and President Lila Rose said.
As a freshman in college at the University of California Los Angeles, Lila recognized the lack of knowledge of abortion, the "greatest human rights injustice of our time."
At 15, she decided to do something about it. So, she started the group Live Action.
Check out what our friends at AEI are working on:
The American Enterprises Institute's new Pursuit of Happiness project explores the meaning of happiness, how to pursue it as individuals, and how government policies can promote it. With speeches by AEI president Arthur Brooks, columnist Megan McArdle, and AEI scholar Robert Doar, the Pursuit of Happiness project lays out a conservative vision of social justice in which the government creates an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to seek happiness.

Late Drama Denies Forest
The Reds were held at home by Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon
Henri Lansbury had given Forest the lead in front of a bumper 28,070 crowd at the City Ground and both sides had plenty of chances to add to that strike as the game progressed.
The Reds looked to have done enough, however, until Pugh's 90th minute goal for the visitors.
Billy Davies' men remain 4th in the Championship.
More to come on Forest Mad.

Cadel Evans will face some major rivals when he makes his 2013 season debut in cycling's Tour of Oman next month.
The Australian star has entered the February 11-16 tour for the first time as he tinkers with his preparation for July's Tour de France, seeking to regain the form that won him the 2011 title.
Tour of Oman organisers confirmed on Wednesday that Evans would be joined by reigning Tour de France and Olympic champion Bradley Wiggins and longtime tour foe Alberto Contador as well as BMC Racing teammate Philippe Gilbert, Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack Leopard) and Mark Cavendish and Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma Quick Step).
Looking to rebound from a difficult 2012 season, Evans, 35, has already indicated there is unlikely to be much early season rivalry with the likes of Contador in Oman.
"If Alberto and I both start in Oman, I think we will both be riding our own races in accordance with our preparation for the season," Evans said last week.

The arguments put forth by Mr. Amanulla Khan, president of the All-India Insurance Employees' Association (Op-Ed, Dec. 5), were insightful. Despite the odds created by the successive governments at the Centre through the promotion of private insurance companies, the market share of LIC stands at 76 per cent today. It has been possible only due to the unstinted faith reposed by the masses in public sector undertakings and their dedicated workforce. It must be noted that more than Rs.7 lakh crore has been contributed by LIC to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for infrastructural development.
C.P. Krishnan,
Since 1956 after nationalisation, LIC has served its policyholders by mobilising their savings. It has safeguarded 30 crore individual policyholders across the country. After IRDA came into effect, there are 24 life insurance companies in the fray. At the moment, only 26 per cent FDI is allowed in joint-venture insurance companies in the insurance industry. After allowing IRDA and FDI in the last 12 years, only Rs.6,300 crore has accrued to the country.
L. Jones.
The issue is about selling a promise. There is always the possibility of a failed promise unless it is backed by government guarantee. India is the only country that has a high savings rate when other countries are driven by consumption. Foreign players are waiting on the sidelines to repatriate this wealth since these are long-term contracts. The penetration theory is disproved as the average annual premium for a policy issued by a private insurance company is Rs. 60,000, compared to Rs. 9,000 for a policy issued by LIC in an environment where per capita income is very low. The commendable job done by LIC must be highlighted especially when the government has accepted that there has been a decline in the savings rate.
The Congress and UPA 2 have entered the bullpen with double vigour and to negate the traditions of parliamentary democracy. It is ironic that those in charge are intent on burying the ideals of the founding fathers of the Congress — and who wanted strong insurance and banking sectors.
C. Chandrasekaran,
The government needs to revisit the issue, especially in the background of the Financial Development Report 2012 of the World Economic Forum rating India as number one in life insurance — in terms of insurance density. Many of the players who were a part of the financial crisis of 2008 are now in India.
S. Sridhara,

Comments about Majestic Philadelphia Phillies Cooperstown Collection Heart and Soul Long Sleeve T-Shirt - Charcoal:
Since I have purchased this for my brother-in-law as a Christmas gift, it has not yet been worn or washed, but I can tell from the feel (while wrapping it) that it's a very nice quality, soft, comfortable shirt. Since he is IMPOSSIBLE to buy anything for, I am SO HAPPY I came across this; I shared a pic of it with my sister and she said "FRANK WILL LOVE IT"!!! I hope so, because if HE doesn't, I don't know any other Phillies fan to give it to! LOL

DNA-Directed Base Pair Opening
Received: 16 August 2012 / Revised: 28 September 2012 / Accepted: 9 October 2012 / Published: 11 October 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue DNA-Directed Chemistry)
Abstract: Strand separation is a fundamental molecular process essential for the reading of the genetic information during DNA replication, transcription and recombination. However, DNA melting in physiological conditions in which the double helix is expected to be stable represents a challenging problem. Current models propose that negative supercoiling destabilizes the double helix and promotes the spontaneous, sequence-dependent DNA melting. The present review examines an alternative view and reveals how DNA compaction may trigger the sequence dependent opening of the base pairs. This analysis shows that in DNA crystals, tight DNA-DNA interactions destabilize the double helices at various degrees, from the alteration of the base-stacking to the opening of the base-pairs. The electrostatic repulsion generated by the DNA close approach of the negatively charged sugar phosphate backbones may therefore provide a potential source of the energy required for DNA melting. These observations suggest a new molecular mechanism for the initial steps of strand separation in which the coupling of the DNA tertiary and secondary interactions both actively triggers the base pair opening and stabilizes the intermediate states during the melting pathway.
