The latest economic survey for Maharashtra 2009-10 has predicted a recovery for the State and said that the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is expected to grow at 8.6 per cent during the year 2009-10 as against 3.4 per cent during the previous year.
The Economic Survey which was tabled in the State legislature on Tuesday pointed out that agriculture and allied activities is expected to grow by 1.8 per cent during 2009-10 as against negative growth of 19. 3 per cent in the previous year.
However, industry is still facing the negative impact of recession and is expected to grow moderately by 7 per cent. The service sector is expected to maintain the growth momentum and is likely to grow by 10.4 per cent during the year.
The per capita State income at current prices is estimated at Rs. 54, 867 in the year 2008-09 as against Rs. 49,058 during 2007-08. The per capita State income is higher then the per capita National Income and the State maintained second rank after Haryana.
After enjoying a revenue surplus for three consecutive years, a revenue deficit of Rs. 7,123 crore or 0 .9 per cent of GSDP is expected during 2009-10. The fiscal deficit which was 2.3 per cent of GSDP during 2008-09 is expected to increase to 3.2 per cent during 2009-10. To cope up with the deficit, the government will be required to borrow more and therefore, the debt stock of 2009-10 is expected to increase to Rs. 1,85,801 crore which is 22.3 per cent of GSDP.
FDI flow
On the brighter side, Maharashtra is one of the favoured destinations for industrial investment. A total of 15,408 industrial projects with an investment of Rs. 5,58,336 crore and employment potential of about 28.17 lakh have been registered with the government of India to set up units in the State till August 2009. The major share of FDI is in IT industry (Rs.12,765 crore).
However, in terms of poverty estimates provided by the Planning Commission of India, the poverty ratio in the State during 2004-05 is 30.7 per cent as against an all India average of 27.5 per cent. Though the results at various points of time show decline in poverty ratios, the number of persons living below poverty line is gradually increasing since 1973-74 and increased by 12.2 lakh persons in 2004-05 as compared to 1993-94.
The price situation in rural areas based on the Consumer Price Index reached 172.8 in December 2009, thus recording a rise of 23.5 points during the year which is highest ever in last five years. Even in the urban areas, there was a rise of 21.8 points which was again the highest ever in the last five years. In the rural areas the rise was mainly due to increase in the prices of rice, wheat, tur dal, moong dal, potato, onion and sugar.
Major problem
The Survey notes that closing of industries is now becoming a severe problem in the State. The percentage of small scale industries closed during 2009-10 (up to September 2009) increased by 35 per cent over the previous year. In 2009-10, 44,997 small scale industries closed down, affecting 1,97,798 workers, while 845 medium and large industries closed down, affecting 1,53,786 workers.
The State is becoming one of the leading wine producing areas in the country. At present, out of 62 wineries in the country, 58 wineries are functioning in Maharashtra with an investment of Rs. 329 crore. The wine production in India is 2.25 crore litre of which 2.11 crore litre (97 per cent ) is produced in the State.

This is a continuation of copending application, now abandoned, Ser. No. 07/964,587, filed Oct. 21, 1992, entitled "Selective Planarization Method and Apparatus" now abandoned.
This invention relates to a new method for smoothing a surface.
There are broad industrial requirements for smoothing processes. In general industrial smoothing processes are in the following classes:
a) mechanical polishing--friction abrasion polishing and lapping using harder materials or abrasives such as in polishing of optical lens and metallic reflectors.
b) chemical bath etching--general industrial process to smooth parts after machining employing chemically active solvents.
c) plasma sputtering and etching--partially ionized gases sputter away high points or creation of volatile reaction products by ion bombardment can be used for extensive use in semiconductor manufacture for many purposes including smoothing.
In connection with the manufacture of semiconductor microelectronic devices, specialized smoothing processes have become important in support of several aspects of the manufacture of those devices. In particular, as semiconductors have become more densely populated, they have required multiple overlying layers of metal interconnections which need to be electrically isolated by multiple layers of dielectric materials. Because the processes employ photolithographic techniques to pattern the metal interconnects, it is essential that the surface be as flat as possible so that the depth of field of the optical imaging system results in very precise patterns, i.e., sharp line images across the entire wafer. This requires flatness on the order of 25Å across the wafer. To meet these requirements, new smoothing processes for semiconductor processing has advanced the art of smoothing.
The microelectronic smoothing processes to advance photolithography are now called "planarization" because of the flatness requirement over the dimension of the diameter of the wafer. The most common current semiconductor planarization process employs a specialized plasma etching process. In this process, the low spots in the wafer surface are first filled with a thin spun on layer of a flowable and hardenable material, which material has an etch rate which is close to the etch rate of the interlayer dielectric material. Next, the thin layer is hardened and the wafer is plasma etched. Usually the etch is continued until the higher regions and the spin-on-layer is substantially entirely removed. Frequently, this process is repeated several times. This procedure is known as the "Double Etch-Back Process."
The Double Etch-Back Process provides good smoothing for processes having line widths greater than 1 micron but has not been entirely satisfactory because of the shrinkage of the volume of the flow-on-material when it is hardened. Accordingly, in those regions of the wafers in which the higher regions are more widely separated, a deep sag can occur which is difficult to planarize even with repeat of the process.
To overcome these problems, a chemical-mechanical so called "global" process having larger scale planarization is becoming common. The chemical-mechanical process is a derivative of the older lens polishing procedures except that a liquid chemical etchant for the dielectric is substituted for the abrasives of the earlier processes. In this process, the wafer surface is pressed against a rotating slightly rough surface with the noncompressible liquid etchant between them. This process combines a mild mechanical friction action along with the accelerated chemical action on the roughened high spots to achieve broad "global" planarization. This chemical-mechanical process is expensive and time consuming to implement because each wafer must be individually handled and processed. Additionally, the process is not as selective as desired because the chemical etchant reacts with almost equal rate on the lower regions as on the high.
It is an object of this invention to provide a smoothing process and apparatus which is more highly selective to reduce only high spots on the substrate being smoothed.
It is a still further object to provide a faster and less expensive process for ultra smoothing of generally flat substrates.
It is a feature of this invention that it employs frozen etchant materials which are micro-regionally activated by pressure and/or heat initiated by the increased pressure and/or heat transmitted to said frozen etchant material by contact with the high spots on the substrate being smoothed.
FIG. 1 is a schematic of the cross section of apparatus for carrying out the process of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of the invention process.
FIG. 3 is a cross section of alternate apparatus for carrying out the process.
FIG. 4A is indicative of the pattern of melting of the etchant for rotation of mounted wafers in the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4B is indicative of the pattern of melting of the etchant for rotation of a plurality of wafers in the apparatus of FIG. 3.
FIG. 5A is illustrative of the inventive process with various height protuberances to be smoothed.
FIG. 5B is illustrative of the inventive process after all protuberances are smoothed to the same level.
This invention employs a process of regelation which relates to the regional melting of a frozen material by applying pressure on the material. Everyone is familiar with the sight of an ice skater gliding smoothly over the ice. Physics tells us that this is made possible by the fact that all the weight of the skater is being transmitted to the ice through one of the edges of the blade of a skate. The width (w) of the portion of the blade edge which is in contact with the ice when multiplied by the length (L) of the blade defines the area in contact with the ice. Because the area is small, the pressure is high. In the region of ice immediately beneath the edge contact, because of the high pressure, the ice melts into water and the water provides a very low friction, non compressible fluid layer which permits the skater to essentially float across the ice. This process can be demonstrated for all frozen liquid materials. When a frozen material is compressed against a sharp edge, there exists a pressure at which the frozen material under the edge will melt.
Chemical processes are generally temperature dependent. For example, it is known that frozen etchants will not react at significant rates with materials that would be etched rapidly by the same etchant materials in liquid form. I have combined these two concepts to provide a technique to selectively etch high points on a substrate to be smoothed.
By applying the face of a substrate to be smoothed into contact with a frozen layer of an etchant for that substrate, and by applying a force to the substrate which is sufficient to raise the pressure between protruding micropoints on the surface which are in contact and the frozen etchant, a method is provided to melt the etchant in the microregion of the protruding micropoints. The force could be a weight applied directly on the substrate. This process is self-limiting if the force to the substrate is selected so that the liquid etchant dissolves away the protruding micropoints until the total contact area beneath the substrate increases so that the pressure at any protuberance decreases to a value below the melting point. Theoretically, to the extent that force on the substrate can be increased without fracture of the frozen material on the substrate, this approach can be applied indefinitely for infinite smoothing and is self limiting. Dilution of the etchant could become a problem with this approach because it is known that mixtures have different freezing points, usually lower in temperature, than the pure material. This problem can cause the process to loose its selectivity for the high spots and/or reduce the etch rate. Accordingly, sliding movement between the substrate and the frozen etchant to bring fresh unmixed etchant materials into contact with the micropoints assists in the process.
With reference to FIG. 1, a specially configured pressure vessel 20 with refrigeration is described to carry out the inventive process. The base of the vessel 20 contains a cavity 26 to receive and hold an etchant material 2 in the fluid state. The base of the cavity is interlaced with cooling coils 4 from a refrigerator 5. The refrigerator is under control from computer 9 on control line 11. The computer receives an input on connector 10 from temperature sensor 10'. The vessel has a lid 16 which is heavy enough to seal against resilient seal 13. Alternatively, the lid can have a clamp (not shown). Compressor 6 provides a compressed gas pressure output 17 to controllably pressurize the vessel 20 under control from computer 9 in response to pressure sensor 8. In certain instances, the inlet pressurized gas source can be a dry gas from a bottle 12 through a valve 12' such as nitrogen or alternatively a filtered dried air.
In contact with the side wall 23 of chamber 20 is a cam assembly 18 driven by motor 21 under control of variable frequency power supply 22. In operation, the fluid etchant 2 is placed into the vessel and is frozen, preferably at one atmosphere total pressure while the liquid surface is undisturbed. To obtain a totally flat surface, the gas above the fluid etchant in the vessel is caused to not move during freezing. This may require special vibration isolation from environmental movements of the building. After the etchant is frozen, the surface 19 will be very flat and the surface 24 of the objects to be smoothed are placed into contact with the flat frozen surface of the etchant, and vessel lid 16 is set in place, clamped and sealed. Next, the pressure is raised in the vessel by activating compressor 6 or opening a valve to the pressure bottle 12. The pressure to be employed depends on the etchant being used and the sum of the areas of the microregion points which are to be smoothed.
With reference to FIG. 2 the process flow is described. Specific liquid etchants which will dissolve the materials of the substrate to be smoothed are selected 30. Calibration curves are consulted containing the pressure to induce melting for the selected etchant for the largest selected microregion. The selected etchant is installed and frozen 31A. Next, substrates to be planarized are placed 32 into contact with the etchant. The pressure of the vessel is then raised 33 to the predetermined level for melting in contact with the microregions. The process is self limiting and is continued until etching ceases 34.
There are instances where small random movements between the surface being smoothed 24 and the frozen etchant surface 19 is advantageous. With reference to FIG. 1, the cam vibrator 18 in conjunction with the elastomeric support 26, 26', 27 and 27' provides a spring type support for the base 25 which permits small random variable speed vibration movements. Blocks 29 and 29' retain the base between the elastomeric support 27. The elastomeric support 26 and 26' are connected to the ground to support the base 25 in a spring floating manner.
With reference to FIG. 5A, microsteps 81 and 82 are shown protruding from surface 80' of the substrate 80. To planarize the surface 24, the substrate is forced against the frozen etchant 83. At first, only the longer microsteps 82 contact the etchant 83 and due to the fact that there are fewer such longer microsteps 82, the pressure is higher and the melting takes place immediately beneath only the longer steps 82. After the longer steps 82 are etched down, as seen in FIG. 5B, all the microsteps 81 and 82' now share the force so that the pressure on each microstep is less if the pressure had been selected to melt the etchant under longer microsteps only, the etchant will refreeze when the pressure on all the microsteps is less than the melting pressure. However, the pressure could have been initially adjusted to be high enough to melt the etchant 84 beneath each of the smaller microsteps 81 and 82' or the pressure could be increased as the process continues.
Assuming that the pressure, P, in the vessel, results in a total force F =PA where A=area of the substrate, if the topology microstep covers 50% of the surface, for the case of FIG. 5A, where 25% are longer microsteps and 25% shorter, the pressure at the high spots would be ##EQU1##
When the etching reduces the length of the longer microstep to the length of the shorter microsteps, the pressure at the microsteps would be ##EQU2## If the etching continues until the substrate is essentially flat, the pressure would reduce to P. Accordingly, the ideal condition would be where pressure in the chamber is selected so that no melting occurs for pressure P, but does occur for pressures greater than P. All materials exhibit a gas-liquid-solid phase diagram. By setting the temperature and pressure for operating point near to but slightly in the solid region of the liquid-solid phase locus, assures that slight local pressure increases such as occur in microregions due to microsteps as described will cause melting and the resulting desired reaction.
For purposes of this invention, the terms "etch" means to dissolve the surface of a material in a solvent and more particularly to selectively dissolve the high spots in the surface of the substrate material.
With reference to FIG. 4A, the random vibration causes a trace of the micropoints in the frozen etchant of FIG. 1. These traces 34 are illustrated for substrates which are generally constrained from translation but which are free to rotate on top of the ice while they remain generally in the same location. The general pattern is a series of concentric circles where the center moves about randomly due to the translational constraint. Translational constraint is not actually required and more substrates could be placed in the cavity if no translational constraint is provided. Once all the surface area of the etchant has been diluted by etching contact with the substrates, the etchant could be melted, mixed and refrozen or it could be replaced entirely if the etch rate becomes too slow due to the dilution. The pattern shown in FIG. 4B are the micropoint traces for the embodiment of FIG. 3. In this case, all traces are concentric about the central axis CL of the rotational cup.
With reference to FIG. 3, a cup 25' is mounted to be rotated by motor 8 through gears 43, 43', which rotates support 35 about the central axis CL through bearing 40 and thrust bearing 45. The refrigeration is much more difficult in this configuration since the entire volume within the chamber under the lid 16 needs to be cooled to the freezing temperature of the etchant via refrigerant conduits 4 and 4' and tubes 4" interlaced on the bottom of the chamber and shown in cross section. A substrate constraint 50 is shown in this drawing which is mounted to the walls 36 of the chamber and is stationary while the central cup 25' is rotated. The constraint 50 contains holes therein for receiving the substrates 1 and restrains their translation and rotation but permits the substrates to slide up and down to be in contact with the surface 24 of the frozen etchant. When the cup is rotated, the traces 37 of FIG. 4B are formed by the microprotrusions. The restraint is not absolutely necessary since it is only desired to restrain the substrates from going around at the same speed as the frozen etchant. Collisions between substrates needs to be avoided in those instances involving fragile substrates such as semiconductor wafers so that the constraint is preferred when planarizing semiconductor wafers.
The invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments. However, it is not intended that the invention be restricted to these embodiment and the scope of the invention shall be determined by the claims. With this in view,

Stay Awake, Avoid Callousness toward Evil: Pope Asks the Faithful to Keep Vigil
How the Church worships is a prophetic witness to the truth of what she professes
Pope Benedict XVI reminded those who gathered in St Peters square - and all who participate in the great three days - that, like the disciples who fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane, we also tend to lethargy when we are called to watch with Him. There is a maxim that addresses the centrality of worship in the Catholic Church; "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi". Law of Worship is the Law of Belief.
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We enter into the Sacred Triduum, the three days which communicate the heart of the mystery of our redemption. Pope Benedict XVI spoke to over 13,000 people who gathered in Saint Peters square for his general audience on Wednesday. He used the occasion to communicate the deep truth contained in the liturgical services which we celebrate over the next three days.
There is a maxim that addresses the centrality of worship in the life, identity and mission of the Catholic Church; "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi". The phrase in Latin literally means the law of prayer ("the way we worship") is the law of belief ("what we believe"). It is sometimes expanded to as, "lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi", further deepening the implications of this truth - how we worship reflects what we believe and determines how we will live.
The Church has long understood that part of her role as mother and teacher is to watch over worship, for the sake of the faithful and in obedience to the God whom she serves. How we worship not only reveals and guards what we believe but guides us in how we live our Christian faith and fulfill our Christian mission in the world by manifesting the continuing presence of the Risen Jesus Christ.
Liturgical worship is not an "add on" for a Catholic Christian. It is the foundation of Catholic identity; expressing our highest purpose. Worship reveals what we truly believe and how we view ourselves in relationship to God, one another and the world into which we are sent to carry forward the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ.
How the Church worships is a prophetic witness to the truth of what she professes. Good worship becomes a dynamic means of drawing the entire human community into the fullness of life in Jesus Christ. It attracts - through beauty to Beauty. Liturgical worship informs and transforms both the person and the worshipping community which participates in it. There is reciprocity between worship and life.
Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Resurrection of the Lord, is called the Sacred "Triduum", meaning three days. Good Liturgy is not simply a re-enactment of something that happened over 2000 years ago but an actual participation in the events themselves through living faith. These events are outside of time and made present in our Liturgical celebrations.
On Wednesday, Pope Benedict, whose depth of understanding of liturgical worship is unequaled, reminded those who gathered in St Peters square - and all who participate in the great three days - that, like the disciples who fell asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane, we also tend to lethargy when we are called to watch with Him. He reminded us that the invitation to stay awake is "a permanent message for all times because the drowsiness of his disciples was not just a problem in that moment; it is a problem throughout history".
He warned us all of a "certain insensitivity of the soul to the power of evil, insensitivity to all the evil in the world; we don't want to let ourselves be too bothered by these things. We want to forget them or we try to think they aren't so serious."
Vatican Radio is an excellent source for following what the Pope teaches. It should be bookmarked, put in "favorites", by every Catholic Christian who "gets it". By "gets it" I mean those who understand - and actually believe - that the Pope really is the successor of the Apostle Peter.
This Pope is a great teacher who will go down in Church history for his locutions to the faithful. Our mission at Catholic Online is to "inform, inspire and ignite" the faithful. These next three days are where "the rubber hits the road". We present the Vatican Radio report on the Pope's message below.
"There is "a certain callousness of the soul towards the power of evil, an insensitivity to all the evil in the world: we do not want to be disturbed by these things, we want to forget, perhaps, we think, it is not important. It is not only insensitivity to evil, but also insensitivity to God", said Pope Benedict XVI Wednesday as he dedicated his last catechesis before Easter to the Holy Week Triduum.
He said "Dear Brothers and Sisters, Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Easter Triduum, the three days in which the Church commemorates the mystery of the Lord's passion, death and resurrection. The liturgies of these days invite us to ponder the loving obedience of Christ who, having become like us in all things but sin, resisted temptation and freely surrendered himself to the Father's will.
"Tomorrow, at the Chrism Mass, priests renew their ordination promises, the sacred oils are blessed, and we celebrate the grace of the crucified and risen Lord which comes to us through the Church's sacramental life. On the evening of Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord's Supper begins the actual Triduum and recalls the institution of the sacraments of the Eucharist and Holy Orders".
Reflecting more specifically on the episode of Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, in comments in Italian the Pope noted that - not unlike the apostles who failed to hold vigil with Christ and were overcome by a "sleepiness" - "It 's our very sleepiness to the presence of God that renders us insensitive to evil: we don't hear God because we don't want to be disturbed, and so we remain indifferent to evil"
Pope Benedict said that "Jesus experienced great anguish, such suffering as to sweat blood, aware of his imminent death on the cross", but chooses to keep watch. This is "a matter of great importance for the Church" said Pope Benedict: "Jesus says to his disciples 'stay here and keep vigil', and this appeal to be vigilant concerns precisely this moment of anguish, of threat, but it also covers the entire history of the Church, it is a permanent message for all time because the disciples' sleepiness is not a problem of that one moment, rather of the whole of history, "the sleepiness" is ours, of those of us who do not want to see the full force of evil and do not want to enter into his Passion".
He concluded "The Liturgy of Good Friday invites us to share in Christ's sufferings through penance and fasting, and to receive the gift of God's love flowing from the Lord's pierced Heart. The Easter Vigil joyfully proclaims Christ's resurrection from the dead and the new life received in Baptism. By your prayers and our sharing in these liturgies, let us resolve to imitate Christ's loving obedience to the Father's saving plan, which is the source of authentic freedom and the path of eternal life".

Fasting & Abstinence
'Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed' Lk. 5:35
Abstinence. The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted.
Fasting. The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th Birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

Contracts call for 3 percent raises for county workers
Agreements reached by negotiators would give 140 Pierce County union workers three percent increases in each of three years and would gradually raise the share employees pay for health insurance.
The contracts--for 55 workers in the courthouse union, 55 in the highway union and 30 Human Services Department support staff--are expected to go to union members for a vote this week.
If approved by workers, the contracts will come to the county board for adoption July 22.

The second update was the Reading Practice mode. Instead of coming up with phrases of our own, we decided to find something a bit more cultural. Alephbet Hiragana now includes a large selection of haiku poems by the 17th century poet Matsuo Basho. You read through the hiragana and tap on the lines you are stuck on to reveal the romaji pronunciation. Alephbet Katakana instead has an extended verse from a Buddhist scripture, the Lotus Sutra. Again, translations, original text and romaji are all provided.
And lastly, for those waiting for a Kanji app, it is finally shaping up. The lessons have all been drafted at this point and is being proofread. Because of the differences, the app will need some reprogramming instead of a port like the katakana and hiragana apps. So it will still be a few weeks, but it is moving along and will hopefully be the best Alephbet app yet.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Brilliant weekend away. I highly recommend its stunning views of the golf course and the surrounding. Brilliant walks into the forest. :)
A nice lodge, although felt the way the lodges had been placed that they overlooked each other. Hot tub was nice but there was a problem as the water was draining out from it.
Loved it
Lovely place and fab cabins! A shame the hot tub wasn't cleaned each day but stunning decor and restauratn food quality was great definately will return again this year
Fantastic weekend break, beautiful lodge very modern and clean. Would definitely recommended.
Had a fantastic time and can't wait to re book and go back.
Lovely lodges and the staff are so helpful.We had a wonderful stay and are going again very soon with the family.
The lodge was amazing, loads of space, fantastic bathrooms and lovely furnishings. We could not fault the lodge but we were very disappointed with the Glass House bar/restaurant, especially when we turned up at 9.15 on the first night and found it to be locked up. The next day we were informed that they only served meals until 8.00pm and drinks till 10.00pm. This may have been because there weren't many bookings but we had no choice but to get taxis into town for a decent meal/night out. We only had one drink there during our stay and we were the only people there.
We all really enjoyed our stay at pocklington. The surroundings were lovely and the lodge itself was very nice. However, we did have a few defects which we had to get maintenance round for and one of them they forgot to come and fix. The rooms were very spacious and the view from our lodge was brilliant as it looked over the golf course. I would definately recommend.
The lodges were beautiful the setting wAs gorgeous my only suggested improvement was that the couch and the hot tub only cater for 6 and the lodge states it sleeps 8 yes it sleeps 8 but that is all
First class beautiful and clean
We had a few problems with lodge but most of them were resolved promptly. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great relaxing break , very professional service. Booked again
Main reason we stayed at poklington park was for area and hot tub however the hot tub broke down and could not be fixed.We were given the use of another hot tub in the complex but it was not the same as having you own.
Didn't use club house but it looked well kept.
