Fiza died a painful death
Mohali, September 9 While it is yet to be ascertained whether she had committed suicide or was murdered, Dr Parminder Singh Bhatti, who headed the medical board that conducted Fizas postmortem, said that anybody who died due to consumption of celphos, suffered from hypoxia, which finally led to ones death. When aluminium phosphide comes into contact with moisture or any liquid, it starts producing phosphine (PH 3) gas. The gas produced begins to finish oxygen inside the body and causes nausea, severe breathlessness and leads to severe pain in the stomach. The person, who consumes celphos dies a painful death and Fiza was certainly not an exception, said Dr Bhatti while talking to Chandigarh Tribune. The revelation of presence of the poison in her viscera has brought to light that she had suffered a lot of physical agony before she died. One may take few hours or even some days to die after consuming the poison. It all depends on the quantity of poison taken, said Bhatti. Bhatti further said that she might have been in pain for few hours before she died. If she had died a painful death then there should have been signs of her struggle after consumption of the poison, but the police claim that there was not even a wrinkle on her bedsheet where she was found lying. She was found lying on the bed with slightly folded legs. There was no sign of struggle for life. There was no wrinkle on the bedsheet she was found lying on, said the police officials, who had searched the room immediately after getting the news of her death. As the body was highly decomposed and maggot infested, fluid was scattered around it, said the police.

Tense family ties led to acid attack
Chandigarh, September 9 Vijay had married his niece who happened to be Amits cousin and both Amit and Vijay were not on good terms owing to Vijays second marriage. Both the accused are yet to be arrested, as they managed to give the police the slip by absconding from their Shahpur residence near Ludhiana, an hour before the police reached them today. The police suspects that Vijay got the attack executed through someone else and they would soon establish his identity. DSP Ashish Kapoor said Vijay had a six- month-old daughter from his second wife who was Amits cousin. Both Vijay and Amit had entered into a scuffle a fortnight ago when Vijay came to Amits Sector 38 residence. Amits mother had objected to Vijay being served tea and a scuffle had ensued then. Vijay wanted to avenge the treatment meted out to him and then planned an attack on Amit, he said. Vijay has left his first wife, who was Amits aunt, which had led to strained relations between the uncle and the nephew. After the acid attack, Vijay had called up Amits sister Neelu, and threatened her that this time he had only thrown acid on her brother, but next time he would eliminate him. 22-year-old Amit sustained burns after acid was thrown at him in the busy Sector 22 market last evening.
Accused has criminal record
The police said Vijay had a criminal background and many cases were registered against him in Ludhiana. |
A snatching that never was
Chandigarh, September 9 The police reached the spot in Maloya where they found Rajkumar who told them that two persons on a motorcycle snatched Rs 54,000, which was lying in the dickey of his scooter, and fled. On investigating, the police found that Rs 2,000 kept in his pocket and his expensive mobile phone was not snatched while the youths had taken away the money that was kept in the dickey of his scooter. On further interrogation, Rajkumar told the police that his employer Mahesh Gupta, a Zirakpur resident, who is a commission agent in the Grain Market, Sector 26, had given him the cash for work. The police then summoned his
employer Mahesh Gupta who then told the police that Rajkumar had taken loan of Rs 2.54 lakh from him some months ago and was dilly-dallying returning it. Only a day before yesterday he had taken another Rs 65,000 from him on pretext of his mothers illness. Rajkumar used this money to buy expensive mobiles and also purchased an Activa scooter. As police grilled him further, he disclosed that he had enacted the drama as he was unable to return the money to his employer. The police then arrested Rajkumar in a case of criminal breach of trust under Section 406 of the IPC. The police said he had also enacted a similar drama in Sector 15 some days ago.
Not the first incident
Last year, Abir Malhotra, a Sector-48 resident, had called the police control room and had given a false information that he had been robbed of Rs 8 lakh. He had, however, later committed suicide as he was unable to get rid of the guilt |
Over 100 road-engineering proposals pending
Chandigarh, September 9 Even as the city witnesses grave accidents on a daily basis, steps to improve traffic is the need of the hour. The proposals mooted in the Chandigarh Traffic advisory committee as well as otherwise have remained only on paper. A majority of these proposals date back to 2006 and are still pending, reveals a traffic police study. Some of these proposals pending with the engineering department of the Administration include construction of slip roads with proper sign boards, provision of battery back up for all traffic lights in the city, repainting of zebra crossings, installation of speed limit sign boards, repair and replacement of iron grills at certain roundabouts and construction of footpaths and cycle tracks. Other important proposals that are pending with the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation, include marking of lanes for two-wheelers in all the parking lots of Chandigarh, provision of foot overbridge for pedestrians between Rose Garden and Leisure Valley on Madhya Marg, shifting of local bus stop near gate number one of Panjab University and installation of rumble strips, speed-limit sign boards, flashing blinker lights and provision of lay byes for parking of police vehicles deployed for emergency duty. Sources said that the proposals are pending since the last six years owing to red tapism and many of these get stuck in procedural wrangling. The UT Traffic police has now formed another committee to see that all proposals sent by the traffic police are effectively implemented. The committee consists of six executive engineers of both the UT administration as well as the Municipal Commision, as members as well as an assistant town planner and an architect besides senior traffic police officials. The committee will meet at least once in a month to review various pending road engineering proposals and address all issues coming in way of their implementation, said Maneesh Chaudhary, UT superintendent of police (traffic).

Texting turns a leaf, and dats the problem!
Chandigarh, September 9 Some of these notes, extracted from the students copy from schools in Chandigarh, point out shorthand and SMS approach of students, seeping in the formal education these days. Several city teachers have expressed concerns over how the excess use of text messaging and social media language by students is swiftly changing their formal expression not only in language subjects but also subjects across the board. This tendency has really picked up in recent years, says Anjali, an English teacher at DAV, Sector 15. She says that the words like dat, whn, whr, frenz, have become common mistake in students notebooks. At times, students use weird and loose abbreviations, which becomes even hard for us to figure out, she said. Gurmit Singh, an English teacher at St Johns High School, says that the words like coz, ur, asap, dis, dem, n are often found in students notebooks and even in exam papers of students above class VII standard. According to him, the problem seems apparent and imminent. While texting or on social media, students just convey the message in the shortest possible way and there, it doesn't matter whether the user is right or wrong. Unfortunately, this habit is carried over to the formal writing tasks in the classrooms and it is a challenging job to retrieve the students to formal expression of language. Mona Rajwade, a parent, says that the new ways of communication has definitely affected the written as well as spoken language of this generation. Children are not ready to learn the correct rules and I feel that the correct ways of language will soon meet a fag end like the Shakespearean English, she adds. Shabnam Singha, senior coordinator, Strawberry School, however thinks that the issue needs to be seen on a wider scale considering the fact that every era brings changes in the way the language is written and spoken. That is the reason the Shakespearean language is out of usage. I think it is fine if students use short-hand language for SMS or quick informal mail. Even we adult do the samething especially while text messaging. But the students should repeatedly be sensitised that there is a difference between informal interaction and formal class-room teaching even though it is a challenging task considering the change the technology has brought in our lives, adds Shabnam. On speaking to some students, they said that they did not write the language deliberately. School student Revant Bogra, a resident of Panchkula, says that the problem is more at the unconscious level. Sometime I unknowingly use short forms such as Imma" "Gonna"(I am going to) "tever" (what ever) "lemme" (let me), though at conscious level I know that these are
wrong spellings. He says that one should read more books other than oschool books to expand vocabulary. As per the information, the CBSE has recently made a novel compulsory for classes 1X to X11, but many feel that one novel in a year is
not enough. Speaking out
Need to Keep a check on them, say teachers
It will be an utopian dream if we think that texting or social media is not here to stay. I think it is the duty of a classteacher to keep a repeated check on students and regularly discuss the problem with them. Today, the children are very innovative and right counselling can minimise the bad effect of social media and
technology. Harold Carver, director, St Stephens School, Sector 45 The problem of casual language in formal education cant be ruled out. The best way is that students must be corrected every time he or she makes a mistake. Both the teachers as well as the parents must act swiftly and
repeatedly. Atul Khanna, director, Strawberry School, Sector 26 Teachers can incorporate word games in classroom teaching. They can design an activity in a way that it involves all four skills of the language- listening, speaking, reading and writing, students must be encouraged to read

Chandigarh, Panchkula police at loggerheads
Panchkula, September 9 Soon after the Chandigarh Police arrested Adarshdeep, the Panchkula Police paid in the same coin and arrested its Inspector. The stand is contrary to previous instances wherein policemen involved in wrongdoings were shielded by both the state police departments. It was on August 20 when the under-training Panchkula Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Adarshdeep Singh and his kin were arrested for allegedly thrashing a Chandigarh Police head constable at their residence in police colony at Sector 51. He was released on bail on September 1. Adarshdeep is currently posted as the Station House Officer of the Sector-14 police station, Panchkula. Ever since the Chandigarh Police has arrested our ACP, despite the fact that he was not at fault, we, too, have decided to pay in the same coin, said a senior police official of the Panchkula Police. When the medical of the son of a Chandigarh
Police official was to be conducted after he had rammed the car into hutments near Surajpur, the IO was a little hesitant in doing so. It was after a senior official present on the spot said When the Chandigarh Police can arrest our ACP, why cant we take action against it" that the medical was conducted. They don't seem much interested in coordinating with us," said another official of the Panchkula Police. It was on September 7 when the Panchkula Police had arrested Inspector Tarsem Rana for helping the fake IPS officer, Aman Kumar, by allowing to avail a Gypsy car. As per the Panchkula Police, Adarshdeep Singh was innocent and was unnecessarily implicated by the Chandigarh Police. A report was also sent to the Haryana government mentioning that the Chandigarh Police had acted in a biased manner. The Chandigarh Police, however, has denied the allegations made by the Panchkula Police. "There is nothing of this sort," said a senior Chandigarh Police official to this correspondent. |
Open House Response
The nightlife in Chandigarh is booming at a fast pace. In the interest of the residents, the Chandigarh Administration must allow opening of late night eating joints. These will prove to be boon for students and youngsters who come to Chandigarh for studies and jobs. It will also promote the night tourism in Chandigarh.
People have the right to eat whenever they feel like. But in the wake of increasing brawls, fights and murders in the night, the question of safety arises. For that purpose, the Chandigarh Administration must tie up with the Chandigarh Police to make appropriate security arrangements to ensure safety. The police should increase man power to protect the citizens and to maintain the law and order situation in the Tricity. Also, self-discipline is important for all and it is the need of the hour in Chandigarh too. People should not over drink and behave responsibly. Vineet Kapoor,
24x7 eatery means compromising with safety
Darkness to dawn is the time for armed robbers to score their best. The city which is already witnessing rise in crime, especially during night hours, should not contemplate on increasing the number of late night eateries. The bashing of UT policemen at a liquor shop in Sector 22B at 2 am, murder at a parking lot in front of an eatery in Sector 22 around midnight followed by a murder of business man in Sector 22 around 11pm, are real-life examples of the fact that 24x7 eateries means compromising with safety. Recently in USA the city council of Newark has voted unanimously to restrict the hours of restaurants throughout the city. The risks to employees and customers probably are greater at night than during the daytime. If such eateries are opened then the burden on police will increase at a time when it is facing insufficient infrastructure. During day there is a consistent and visible police presence in the city whereas during night hours the presence is very thin. The 24x7 eateries are absolutely unsuitable for the city. Ajay Jagga,
More eateries should not be allowed
The liberty given to some eateries to stay open till late night are often misused by youngsters. Incidents of brawls even murders and road rage have been reported near such 24X7 eateries. The late night crowd certainly does not deserve this great facility, like the Aroma's 24X7 eatery or the Night Food Street near PU. Involvement of high-profile brats, in such incidences, further complicates the matter for the police as well as the genuine visitors to these eateries. Until steps are taken to maintain a safe and secured environment for the visitors at the existing 24X7 eateries, new late night eateries should not be allowed in the city. Rakesh Chopra,
Cities needs more late night eateries
Chandigarh is a highly-planned city with provision of high-tech infrastructure and latest facilities. However, there are limited options when it comes to 24X7 eateries. It becomes difficult for common people, who visit Chandigarh to get treatment at the PGI or government hospital. Those looking for a job in IT Industry or students living as paying guests face a lot of problem due to the absence of enough eateries. The Administration has, otherwise, permitted a lot of hotels, restaurants, and night clubs to enjoy this facility. There is an urgent need of late night food streets and kiosks that maintains hygiene and food quality. The Municipal Corporation should fix sites, particularly one each at the PGI, Government Medical College and Hospital and Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, and also one each at bus stand, IT Park area, Industry Area Phase I and II. The strength of such eateries should be increased from existing one. These eateries must have proper security arrangement to counter chances of violence and disturbance. The Municipal Corporation or Chandigarh Administration should frame policies relating to allotment or auction of sites, fixation of reasonable rates, and assurance of quality food as well as provision for parking along with high-tech security system. Sukhpal Singh,
Recreation is okay, but not at the cost of life
Chandigarh is known as City Beautiful. The city used to be referred as the city of babus, as a large numbers of government employees of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh reside here. However, since 1991, under the garb of so-called economic reforms, the government has opened the floodgates for MNCs. The affect of these MNCs is discernible when they have opened their branch offices, regional offices in the city. The work culture of these establishments is to work till late hours. Those who work in these companies would naturally like to enjoy their evenings with families and friends. Thus there came the need to have 24X7 eateries in the city. It is good that at present the city has only a few 24x7 eateries. Keeping in view the deteriorating law and order situation in the city, the eateries should not be allowed to remain open beyond midnight. To maintain this character of the City Beautiful, it is essential that Administration, NGOs, hotels and restaurants associations and people at large should contribute and cooperate. Leisure and enjoyments should not be at the cost of life. SK Khosla,
24X7 eating joint is a must
Chandigarh city will soon be in league of metro cities. Many BPOs are coming in the city, which work till odd hours. Those who are return home late can't have food outside because there are a very few 24X7 restaurants in the Tricity. Chandigarh needs a few more such eateries as that would solve problems of many people. Chandigarh Administration should become more liberal in allowing other eating joints to keep remain open till late night. But with that the security also needs to be tightened. More police force should be deployed outside these eating joints. The Administration should give licences to more and more joints to stay open till late night but with more security. However, liquors should not be served should not after 10 at night. But a few more 24 hours eating joints is a must. Guryog Kaur,
SAS Nagar
Ensure safe nightlife first
There is certainly a dire need for 24X7 eateries for convenience of city residents. But is Chandigarh safe enough to handle the night culture? In the wake of incidents like brawls, road rage, drunken driving, molestation and even murders, denizens of Chandigarh feel quite insecure while moving out at night. Before initiating any project on 24X7 eateries, the Chandigarh Administration must ensure a safe nightlife. To promote night tourism, security must be beefed up and night patrolling needs to be increased, especially at sensitive areas like hotels, restaurants and discotheques.Special nakas and check-posts must be installed during late nights to catch rowdy youths carrying weapons and also tipsy youths driving rashly. Shruti K Chawla,
Yes to late night food, no
to drinking
The Chandigarh Administration should think over the issue of opening more late night food outlets. At present, there is no reasonable food outlet or eating joints that are open till late nights. Chandigarh simply does not provide that luxury, except the Night Food Street. However, consumption of alcohol at late hours should not be allowed. According to me, late nights in Chandigarh are the best time to discuss crucial issues of the city with a nice cup of coffee. Sachin Sharma,
Change in lifestyle boost late night eateries
With the coming of IT jobs, the work culture in the city has changed. Now we have day and night shifts and the work goes on 24x7. People are always on their toes and there is no time and energy left for cooking. They need a place where they can grab a quick bite anytime- while going and coming back from their job. Chandigarh has a very few all day eateries. Most of these are coffee shops of five-star hotels which are out of the reach of a common man. Even tourism is rising and flights and trains arrive at odd hours. The tourists need places to go and eat after their long tiring journey. The city needs to have more eateries which are open 24x7. The authorities need to be more lenient and allow restaurants to be open till late night Isha Dahiya,

Victim familys lone breadwinner
Ritika Jha Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 9 Both the eyes of the 24-year-old victim are severely damaged and blood vessels inside the cornea of his eyes have been ruptured due to the acid blocking blood flow completely. The only breadwinner in the family, Amit, has been bearing the expenses of his younger brother's (10) education following his father's death. Working as an assistant at a mobile repair shop, the Sector-38 resident had been taking care of the needs of his family well. "Amit started working early. Being a bright student, he, however, wanted to continue his education," said his mother. His employer, owner of the mobile repair shop in Sector 22, who brought Amit to the hospital said both the eyes were completely swollen and became discoloured by the time he reached the hospital. "Looking at his condition yesterday, the doctors here at the PGI had told us that the damage is too severe and the possibility for him to see again is bleak," said Amit's employer, Amit Kumar. "We are yet trying to extend maximum help to him since he has been already struggling to support his family with his meagre income. Losing his eyes, he will be completely unable to earn even as much as he had been earning at my shop. Besides, he is a sincere employee and it is painful for me to see him suffer," Kumar added, while accompanying the victim at the PGI's Advanced Eye Centre.
No end to stray cattle menace in Mohali
Mohali, September 9 It is learnt that even the chairman of the Punjab Gau Sewa Board Keemti Bhagat brought the problem to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner through a letter. Bhagat stated in the letter dated August 30 that a number of cows were roaming in the town without shelter and protection. These cows not only proved to be a traffic hazard but also led to accidents. He said that it was the responsibility of the corporation under the law to take care of unprotected animals for which cattle ponds or gaushalas should be set up. As many as 65 residents of Matuor village had also complained to the Commissioner of the civic body through a letter that a large number of cows moved about in the area endangering lives of people. Sukhminder Singh Barnala, former municipal councillor, said he had also brought to the notice of the Commissioner the menace of stray animals. Roads in the area were blocked by cows, which were left in the open to graze after milking them. Local Municipal Corporation Joint Commissioner JC Sabharwal said a lot of vegetation was there because of the rainy season and owners left the animals for grazing in the open. A penalty of Rs 1,000 was imposed in this regard but it had been proposed to the raise the penalty amount in the case of those who defaulted repeatedly. Impounded cattle will not be returned, says DC
In a bid to get rid of nuisance created by cattle on roads here, Mohali Deputy
Commissioner Varun Roojam in a recent meeting said cattle found roaming in the city would not be returned to their owners. He said it has been observed that people leave their cattle in the morning, which come in the town and create nuisance. To teach such people a lesson, we have decided that the cattle, being caught by our officials, would not be returned to their owners, said Roojam. So far the officials of the local Municipal Corporation last week have caught over 60 cattle. The animals have been sent to local gaushala located in the Industrial Area, here. A maximum of 100 animals can be kept at the gaushala in the Industrial Area, said the officials whereas the new gaushala with the capacity of about 800 animals is being constructed near the existing ones. |

Extortion rampant at Mansa Devi
Panchkula, September 9 Vendors and other people of the market and taxi stand of the Complex have given a written complaint, a copy of which is with The Tribune, to the Municipal Corporation (MC) and Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) alleging that a person under the garb of president of the local Resident Welfare Association (RWA) extorts money from them and also asks for the fruits, vegetables and taxi facility for free. Not only this, the Administration has also been befooled. Grants are given by the Administration to RWA, when there is no 'legal' president or other member of RWA in this area. No formal election of RWA has taken place. When contacted the Executive Officer (EO) of the MC, OP Sehag, said, What is taking place is wrong. An enquiry will be ordered. The complaint made to the MC states: Subash Sachdeva, a local resident, calls himself as the president of RWA. He threatens us that if we dont give him a monthly payment, he would shoo us away from this place with the help of HUDA and MC authorities. It further states, Sachdeva and his cohorts take kilos of fruits, vegetables and also uses the taxis. When we ask for the payment, he threatens us. A memorandum by 300 people alleging harassment by the accused has also been submitted. The complaint mentions that signatures were forged to take grant from the Administration. The grants are given to the body which is not lawfully formed. I dont work for them. The accused came to me and asked me to give my signature on a document. When I asked for the reason, they said it is for verification. Later, I came to know that the document mentions I work for them as a Mali, which is false, said a local gardener on the condition of anonymity. There is a taxi stand at the Complex that also helps the residents in emergency situation, like providing ambulance facility. The accused is said to be extorting money for this facility as well. We dont know this man. The election for electing the RWA team was never held. I dont know why he is calling himself the president of the area and harassing innocent people. The authorities should take strict action against them, said Zeenat Sharma (name changed), a resident of MDC, Sector-5, Panchkula. When contacted Subash Sachdeva, he said, All these allegations are not true. I have the proceeding books and other papers to prove it otherwise. It was on August 11 when the extortion racket at gunpoint from small vendors and rehri valas in Sector-15, Panchkula, had surfaced. |
Spurt in snakebite cases
Chandigarh, September 9 While about 120 patients were rushed to the emergency ward of the PGIMER, the number of cases reported at Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, went as high as 150. At Government Multi-Speciality Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, the number was 10. Most of the patients came from Panchkula, villages surrounding Chandigarh and Mohali and parts of Himachal Pradesh. Also, in more than 90 per cent of the cases, the patients were found to be bitten by non-venomous snakes. Doctors said snakebites affected the victims psychologically, due to which their condition deteriorated further. Following a snakebite, a victim needs to be kept under observation for at least 24 hours, even if the victim is bitten by non-poisonous snakes. "The key cause of snakebites, especially during the rainy season, is the increased inflow of snakes from nearby forests as these tend to find shelter in human dwellings," said a doctor at the
GMCH, Sector 32. A senior doctor at GMSH Sector 16 said anxiety and increased blood pressure could result in fever. The best precaution in such cases is to bring the patients immediately to a hospital. |

Under the proposed changes, the CHB will allow re-allotment of dwelling units subject to payment of certain transfer fee. The Section 16 of allotment will be amended to allow the re-allotment. Sources said officials were studying the ban imposed by the Supreme Court on general power of attorney (GPS), officials were keen to ascertain that while amending Section 16 of the allotment rules, there was no violation of the Supreme Court order. The sources said despite a ban on the general power of attorneys for sale of the CHB flats, a number of allottees had been illegally selling the flats on the basis of GPA registered in the neighbouring states. This not only led to a huge revenue loss to the CHB, but also resulted in unending litigation between the seller and the buyer as the flats could not be transferred in the name of the buyer, five years from the date of possession of the flat. |
Fats beneficial for liver disease: Experts
Chandigarh, September 9 The experts stated that malnutrition had become common among patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD) owing to lack of adequate diet intake and alcohol abuse. "These patients usually suffer from energy and protein deficiency with very low albumin levels. Collection of fluid in
the abdomen cavity is another very serious complication of the disease coupled with inadequate proteins," said one of the speakers. It was also discussed that condition of such patients could improve with high-protein diets like milk based or egg white based diets with very restricted sodium intake. Micro nutrient deficiencies are also commonly observed in such patients who need to be supplemented accordingly. |
Gaping hazard
Chandigarh: A major tragedy was averted when a truck loaded with cement and construction material got stuck in a caved-in portion of a road opposite the road separating Sectors 31 and 32 at 11 pm on Saturday.
The truck remained stuck for more than one hour. The incident has brought to light the lackadaisical approach of the UT Administration as well as the municipal corporation towards the maintenance of city roads.
Extra sections put burden on schools
Chandigarh, September 9 These new sections, as per the information, have been created to accommodate the students, who failed to get admission in the first three counsellings due to their lower CGPA. Surprisingly, more than 1400 students were enrolled against the 800-900 seats in schools, located in areas like Karsen, Khuda Alisher, Mauli Jagran, Behlana, Sarangpur, Raipur Khurd, Dhanas, Kaimbwala besides some city-based schools at Sector 23, Sector 45 and Manimajra. While more sections were created to meet the rush of the students, the ground level facilities in these schools had posed serious issues. For instance
Government Senior Secondary School, Karsen has no lecturer for economics and physical education and having shortage of lecturers for hindi, english and political science. Moreover, there is only one english teacher for three sections of class XI and two sections for class XII besides one section of stenography. Harveer Singh, principal of the school, said, The school need more teachers for senior secondary classes and additional section will further increase their responsibility but we are trying our level best to give best possible results with available resources. The problem is similar in Government Senior Secondary School, Behlana, where there is no teacher for hindi and sociology subjects. Besides, the guest faculty has been appointed for english and political science subjects. Principal of the school, Ravinder Kaur, said that the higher authorities had been informed about the shortage of teachers and they had assured to solve the problem very soon. The number of teachers is short in other schools too. For instance government school in Mauli Jagran village, which has been upgraded to senior secondary level from this session, has just one lecturer for three sections. A teacher informed that JBT and TGT teachers are teaching senior students. Vinod Sharma, president of the Government Teacher Union, said the problem had reached to such level because there was lack of constant effort on the part of higher authorities to recruit the teachers on priority basis. Further the promotion issue is pending for last 20 years, he said DPI (School) Upkar Singh said the department was very serious about the shortage of teaching faculty and was in process to take several measurements. 226 TGT teachers would soon to be recruited, he added. "The advertisement for JBT teachers is almost finalised and will be issue within two-three days. The situation will definitely improve in near future, Singh said. |
Assistant professor alleges alteration in internal assessment
Chandigarh, September 9 Moniva Sarkar of Sociology department has alleged that professor Rajesh Gill, who is currently chairperson, and others altered the marks given to semester III students in 2010. I gave the internal assessments to the students as per UGC rules but when the students got their detailed mark sheets the internal assessment was different to what I had allotted to the students, she alleged. Prof Rajesh Gill refuted the charges and said the assessment given by the Moniva was not accepted by the department as she didnt follow the mandatory steps, which needed to be adopted before
giving assessment to the students. All the students were allotted full internal marks while the teacher didnt take into account any class tests, snap tests, the record of attendance, which was required for allotting the assessment. Therefore, the matter was reported to the then Vice-Chancellor RC Sobti who constituted a committee to inquire into the mater, Prof Gill said. Gill added, as there was no record of the students appearing in the tests and there attendance record was not maintained, the committee offered the students either to appear in the tests or the internal assessment would be given in proportion to the marks obtained by them in theory exam. The students had appeared before the committee and decided that they should be given internal marks according to the marks obtained in theory paper. It has been recorded in the minutes of meeting, Gill said. However, Sarkar claimed no such provision or rules exists under which marks allotted by course teacher could be changed by any authority, including VC, Dean University Instructions and Controller Examination. The complaint was submitted to Vice-Chancellor Arun Grover in July,however, the complainant claimed she had not received any communication from VC office regarding the complaint. |
PUSU finds solace in being single largest party
Chandigarh, September 9 In a press statement PUSU president Sukhjit Singh Brar said, Though the party fought in alliance with NSUI, yet all candidates, except one, were fielded by PUSU alone. So it was PUSU alone that fought against an alliance of parties and PUSU is the single largest party. The loss by 533 votes is not bad after considering the fact that the party got the largest number of votes, Brar added. Meanwhile, PUSU had alleged that NSUI did not gel with the party but later in another press conference said they got full support from NSUI Jaswinder Singh, a NSUI leader, stated that their support was with PUSU and it was the joint panel of both the parties that contested the elections. Sumit Goklaney, party In charge of PUSU, claimed that the university adopted dual standards against PUSU, The authorities on the pretext of Lyngdoh Committee rules stopped us from waving flags at our rally on September 4 whereas they didnt stop the SOPU-alliance from taking flags along them in a rally. The matter was brought to the notice of police who had assured us that they would not allow them to carry the banners and flags," Sumit added. |
PU Syndicate to seek views on new internal assessment system
Chandigarh, September 9 The proposal stated that the existing pattern of internal assessment in colleges was based on in-house exams but long schedule of exams led to the loss of around 30 teaching days, which could be saved with the adoption of alternative assessment system. DHE has suggested class quiz, assignments for students and class presentations as other mode of assessment. Moreover, it is suggested that assignments should be on the university exam pattern and student should be asked to complete it in a single sitting of 3 hours. DHE has suggested that the alternative internal assessment system may be approved for the city colleges and can be put in place on pilot basis for a period of three years and after two years of implementation in UT colleges a study should be instituted to assess the outcome of the pilot project. The Syndicate has decided to send the proposal to all affiliated colleges for consideration .As per UGC guidelines, there must be 180 teaching days in an academic year. In this year's academic calendar the university has allocated 182 teaching days but a closer look at the calendar reveals that there are only 140 teaching days in an academic session. |

Never been a coach so I can only give my 18 year old 2 cents. Personally when I was younger and tried to emulate fed/djok/gasquet, I ended up playing worse usually. Gradually as time went on I developed my own style and don't really look at other players for style or form. The only thing I look at from pros is the small things they do, like take back, footwork, contact point, degree of body rotation. Since I hit a one hander I really look at pro shoulders, elbows, and wrists (tilt, turn, angle, etc) which usually corrects any problem I may have with my stroke. I find that looking at murray's forehand works really well for maintaining my personal stroke, perhaps b/c our fundamentals are similar even though the strokes are not as much. For backhands I look at roger's takeback and swingpath. Occasionally I'll look at james blake as well because his backhand really vividly shows me what I need to concentrate on (low to high, contact in front, solid wrist). I feel that each person has a different pro/or pros that they should look at for fine tuning. No one should try to "copy" what someone else does though because that will lead to failure. I think
It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.

Girls on Film
The director and star of 'Whatever' chat about bad sex and good movies
By Michelle Goldberg
A DRUNKEN GIRL lies half-conscious in a grassy field while some jocular boys have sex with her. One of them holds her head, soothes her and pours more liquor down her throat. When they're finished with her, the boys walk away, chuckling and jostling each other, to join a party below, leaving the girl half-naked and alone.
The first few frames of Susan Skoog's debut film, Whatever, plunge us into the casually barbaric, sexually brutal world of a suburban high school. But Whatever isn't a titillating teen-sex shocker like Kids. Soon after the gang sex, the girl's best friend rides up on a bicycle and rescues her, and the film's intensity comes as much from the girls' bond as from the banal horrors that surround them.
Whatever is one of the frankest films ever made about teenage girls, with all their symbiotic friendships, passionate ambitions, awkward sexual fumbling and drug-fueled revelations.
Set in New Jersey in 1981, Whatever follows unlikely best pals Anna (Liza Weil) and Brenda (Chad Morgan) as they skip school, run around Manhattan, snort coke with older guys and take care of each other as well as they can before eventually growing apart. Anna is spunky and smart, with dreams of studying painting. Brenda is gorgeous, wild and ready to run away from her abusive stepfather with the first guy who comes along.
Unlike Sarah Jacobson's acclaimed first feature, Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore, in which the feisty high school heroine learns to masturbate and demand gratification from her lovers, Whatever is not about sexual awakening. Skoog's real themes are sexual powerlessness and confusion.
Whatever's cautionary attitude toward sex may seem reactionary in an age when pro-porn writers Susie Bright and Camille Paglia have surpassed Gloria Steinem as feminist mouthpieces. But although Whatever may not be as empowering as Jacobson's film, it seems more representative of most girls' real lives.
MUCH OF THE REASON that Whatever feels so honest is the combination of empathy and insight provided by Skoog, 33, who used her life savings and $30,000 in credit to make the film. But the movie wouldn't ring nearly as true as it does without the funny, raw, searching performance of 21-year-old Weil as Anna.
Now that Sony has picked up Whatever for distribution, the company has sent Weil and Skoog on an international tour. I met them in San Francisco's Sheraton Palace hotel, where they talked about independent filmmaking, bad sex and the '80s over cigarettes and cappuccino.
Skoog grew up in New Jersey, went to high school in the '80s and longed to escape to Manhattan, but she says that Whatever isn't autobiographical. "Anna was a lot cooler than I was. Liza and I both say that," she explains. "None of the events that happen in the film really ever happened to me, but a lot of it was stuff that happened to people I knew. There's about 10 people in Anna and Brenda."
Nowadays, mainstream magazines like Jane run features on the pros and cons of orgies, and Bright, in her advice column in Bust magazine, tells a 13-year-old girl that she's not too young to have sex. So it's hard to talk about how awful sex can be when you're young without sounding like a women's studies major on her first "take back the night" march.
That's why Whatever is so important. Anna must navigate a sexually rapacious world, but she has so much self-possession that she never comes across as a victim. Whatever captures the way teenage amorous encounters go from flushed excitement to fearful embarrassment to deadly boredom--all in the time it takes some overeager guy to yank his fly down.
"Teenage sex, most of the time, especially for girls, is not anywhere near as romantic as we want to think it is," Skoog says. "I wasn't trying to be depressing, but I was trying to show the warts of life. You get twisted and hung up if you don't talk about this stuff. You don't realize that you're not abnormal just because you didn't like sex for the first 10 years. The first couple times you have sex, if it's bad and you get drunk to do it--well, girls do that. A lot of girls do that. But they lie about it--Anna lies about it--because girls think they're supposed to like it, and you can't even tell your friends that no, it didn't feel very good."
Importantly, though, Whatever is about more than the unhappy consequences of teenage risk-taking; there are also moments of giddy joy and conspiratorial excitement. There's a wonderful sequence in which Brenda and Anna cut school, dress up and go to New York City. They run around Washington Square Park and lie to everyone they meet, telling people that Anna is a famous artist, pretending they're the people they want to become. It's the good side of being bad girls: the freedom, the us-against-the-world bonding.
FROM AN ADULT perspective, it can be hard to see why shy, serious Anna and brassy, licentious Brenda would be friends, but Skoog understands the random nature of childhood bonds.
"When you're that age, your friends are from proximity," she says. "You grew up near each other, and you just stay friends. Then, when you get to be about 17, you're like, wait, why are we friends? We don't relate, we're totally different, but she's your best friend, and you're very intimate. Part of what I was trying to chronicle in this film is the demise of these two girls' relationship, how they're growing away from each other. That was something I thought was really interesting."
Indeed, what teen-angst auteurs like John Hughes never understood was that the most intense romance in most girls' lives isn't with the boy they take to the prom, it's with their best friend. In the past few years, there has been a rash of films about girlhood sexual turmoil--Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore, Heavenly Creatures, All Over Me, Ripe, Girls Town--as well as an explosion of music and zines determined to tell the thrilling, awful truth about teenage females.
Why now? "Women are coming of age to make films," Skoog says. "Things are more equal for women now; there's more opportunity; and people are more accepting. I'm 33, and I think a lot of women making these films are in their late 20s or early 30s. They're just coming of age to the point where they're able to make films about their own experiences and with their own sensibilities."
The coming of age of Skoog's generation also likely accounts for the recent wave of '80s nostalgia films like The Wedding Singer, The Last Days of Disco and Grosse Pointe Blank.
"I made the movie and set it in the '80s because that's when I was in school, and I thought it would be fun to sort of look back," Skoog explains. "It's an interesting little window of time before AIDS and before 'Just Say No' and all that. It was actually easier [to set the film in the past], because we got a lot of the clothing from thrift stores, and people gave us their old stuff for set decorating."
Skoog nails the suburban-rocker aesthetic of the '80s without turning it into a distracting parody. Twenty minutes into the film, you forget that the characters are decked out in off-the-shoulder shirts, feathered hair and unironic blue eye shadow.
The entire cast had a hand in re- creating the period, even though Weil was only six years old in 1981. "We would go to thrift stores with the wardrobe department and pick stuff out that we thought our characters would wear," Weil recalls. "If production design was going to put a poster in our room, and we didn't think it should go there, then they'd get rid of it and put something else up. Everybody was pretty much on the same page."
Weil says that because she had such a hand in fleshing out Anna's character, it took a long time to get out of character after the film was finished. "There are definitely bits of Anna that I wish I could be like," she explains. "She's the freshest girl on the block. But a lot of it was there in the writing. The casting was so well done that everybody started relating to each other in character all the time. It was really a weird experience that way, because it took us a long time to get out of that whole mode."
The parts of Anna that Weil relates to include "wanting to get out of your surroundings and make something of yourself but being scared that you're not going to be able to do it, that you're not good enough. Anna pretty much represents everygirl, U.S.A."
It would be nice to think that 17 years later, everygirl, U.S.A., has moved beyond Anna's and Brenda's predicaments--after all, isn't that what fierce girl power was supposed to be about? But a world full of absent or abusive parents and ugly, barren suburbs has left teenagers bored and adrift. Growing up female is still so hard that the stories and characters in Whatever don't feel at all obsolete.

Brown Pigment Problem
I've been told that I have melasma on my forehead. I was on Ortho-Lo birth control over a year ago which is more than likely what caused it. I've been off the b-control for more than a year, tried hydroquinone creams (which I later found out were bad, bad, bad), tried apple cider vinegar topically, whole yogurt masks, etc and cant find anything to help it go away. I'm considering the Fraxel laser treatment as a last resort. Any advice on what else may help clear this up? Thanks!
P.S. Although the whole yogurt masks didn't clear up the melasma it made my skin look great! I know it's not something you normally find in a raw foodie kitchen but give it a shot if you don't mind that it's yogurt! Just whole, organic, yogurt spread thin or thickly across clean skin for as long as you want! Make sure you DON'T get non-fat or low-fat ; )
I have had a pigment problem in the mustache area that started when I started juicing. I had green onions in my morning drink. Three weeks ago, I stopped the green onion and added one lemon. It appears that the discoloration is going away. It's about40-50% less now. What you are eating affects your skin.
I cannot bring myself to even use soap with milk products in it.

La comedia de los errores
- Brief Synopsis:
- No disponible
- Long Synopsis:
- Escrita en 1954 o poco antes, La comedia de los errores adapta al genio shakespeariano la comedia de enredos con que Plauto divertía siglos antes a Roma. Junto a una incipiente capacidad para construir personajes, Shakespeare despliega en esta hilarante obra relativamente temprana un agudo ingenio verbal y una asombrosa maestría para complicar la trama. De allí que sea ésta una de sus obras más representadas en Inglaterra.

Sample pictures with the Quantum Qflash T5D-R/Trio
Sample pictures with the Quantum Qflash T5D-R/Trio
May 7, 2013
Either you love and swear by the Quantum products or you do not. In this thread, I am going to provide samples of what I was able to produce with the Qflash series. Please feel free to provide your samples:
These photos were taken in a dark restaurant/bar. I had the shutter speed pretty high to cut out the ambient light...so the Qflash light was the only illumination. There were two flashes. The T5D-R was on a stand about 7 feet high and the Trio flash was on my Custom bracket.
I was using the Wide Angle Dome Diffuser on the Trio and T5D-R.
Now I dont claim to be the best photographer on DPreview, but I know I produce better work with the Quantum flashes then my former 600EX-RT speedlight. Once I saw what I was getting out of the Quantum flashes my Speedlites went up on Ebay. It was a no brainer.
Please dont beat on the ladies in the photos or my photographic skills. This thread is supposed to be about sample pictures where the Qflash was used. Please feel free to post your own.
Here are more samples which were taken in a dark restaurant/bar. I used just the T5D-R mounted on a bracket.

Quality rotors and pads, an improvement over OEM, but there was one item that prevents me from giving it 5 stars. Kit came with 8 shims/clips, none of which fit correctly, had to reuse the originals. Good value for the price.

I know that Green abd black's does a milk chocolate which is higher cacoa than most.
I remember reading something where Mark Sisson said people had found a dark milk chocolate. Anyone know what brand this would be?
Began Primal 3/25/13 after Medifast
Primal Journal: ksubeks
I know that Green abd black's does a milk chocolate which is higher cacoa than most.
My dyslexic brain read this as dark chocolate milk. I guess that's not what you're talking about, but I would love some dark chocolate milk if it's out there.
I have hot chocolate milk every day. I just use 1/3 cup of coconut milk (it's even better with 1/2, but I wanna spare a few cals.)
1Tb. S. plain cocoa, few drop of Stevia (honey or plain sugar). Mix well and fill up the rest of the large mug with boiling water.
OP, I vote for Green and Blacks 85% cocoa bar. Lindt comes in second.
That's what I'm saying. I've made "food porn" looking food just a couple times. I just put what I'm eating into some sort of heating apartatus and take it out when said heating apartatus has sufficiently softened the food and killed bacteria. My food looks nasty and straight off the farm, out of the ground, and from the butcher shop. It usually tastes good with quality salt, spices, and sauce though.
I get "caveman" comments from people without them even knowing about Primal or WAPF. This actually goes back to before I ever started eating like this.

Morropon Province Coffee Milk Chocolate 60%
They advertise that as a dark milk chocolate
This is amazing:
Riverbend Malted Milk 45%
It has barley malt in it so...probably not the best most primal organic chocolate, but it tastes like I always wanted a malt ball to taste. It was amazing. I love, love, love malted taste, but the chocolate on malt balls is always waxy. This was like the divine combination of amazing chocolate and malt.
I am a fan of milk chocolate.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
Hi. Just resurrecting this thread because I thought UK people might like to know that Hotel Chocolat has a single varietal chocolate which is milk chocolate with 70+% cocoa solids. It tastes slightly creamy like milk chocolate on the bite but then has the amazing finish you'd expect of a single varietal (which are usually dark). It's quite astonishing. Very little sugar.

Koran Burning Epitomizes Islamophobia In America?
Written by Paul I. Adujie
An obscure pastor of an equally obscure church in Florida is leading efforts to burn copies of the Koran throughout America and perhaps worldwide, on September 11, 2010. The charlatan who parades himself also as pastor of this tiny church of less than fifty members in Gainesville Florida, is the latest cannon fodder in latest upsurge in attacks, against Muslims in America.
Reverend Terry Jones, an evangelical, of Dove World Outreach center in Florida is reported by Gainesville Sun Newspapers to be a known rabble-rouser who has in the past erected a billboard pronouncing Islam as religion of the devil. He was required by the local council sundry religious leaders in Florida to take down the profane and offensive billboard; the billboard occurred well before Terry Jones latest egregious prank!
This errant pastor is notorious for obnoxious, outrageous and provocative behaviors, even though he is surrounded by a progressive and liberal college community in Gainesville Florida. The good thing is, there are redemption in all of these. Many Americans have, in public pronouncements condemned this flame throwing "man of god" this pastor's bigotry and prejudice has not met with approval or assistance.
General David Paetreus the military overall commander of American military mission in Afghanistan, have publicly decried and rebuked the pastor, saying that the pastor's silly pranks could inflame emotions and endanger American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Another renowned military man, Lt. Gen. Russell Honore rtd condemned the antics of pastor Terry Jones and described the pastor as stuck on stupid
This pastor Terry Jones claims to have direct links with God, but an American comedian Jay Leno actually joked that the pastor should actually be in God's blacklist or no call list! He has been getting attention by being outrageous.... Islam is of the devil billboard and kids with T-shirt proclaiming same
Jackie Levine a reporter with Gainesville Sun Newspapers reported that pastor Terry Jones has refused to be swayed by consequences or even death threats; he has been denied permit and local religious organizations are against this... it is frustrating and appalling
"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," Pastor Terry Jones told CNN's Rick Sanchez earlier this week.
"Jones wrote a book titled "Islam is of the Devil," and the church sells coffee mugs and shirts featuring the phrase."
Would a pizza shop or porn shop near Ground Zero does that erode the sacred nature of the hallow ground? Or Why did the federal government build a federal building on African Burial Ground near City Hall and 26 Federal Plaza on Broadway some fifteen years ago, despite entreaties by African Americans against it?
More and more Americans have been very vocal in denouncing pastor Jones, a United States State Department spokesperson, P. J. Crowley aptly described pastor as insignificant and of no consequence and as such, the pastor's views should not be mistaken as the stances of over 300 million Americans in the general populace. Another American, Professor Marc Lynch of George Washington University, commenting publicly, opined that the spate of Islamophobia in America is making things more difficult for America's relationships with nations with Muslims populations. This is particularly so, as America is battling to win hearts and minds to stem anger toward America, anger which have been exacerbated by American presence in Afghanistan, Iraq and military activities in Pakistan as well.
Various acts of violence, arson, bigotries, prejudices and emotional invectives have been directed against American Muslims as the have fasted during this Ramadan month Rick Lazio, a governorship aspirant in New York, former Speaker of American House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich and other Republican conservatives, who are usually beneficiaries of Evangelicals and the religiously pious right-wingers, are surprisingly careless and reckless with religious freedoms for American Muslims.
These political opportunists, have insisted that Islam and Muslims in America are at the verge of imposing Sharia legal system on the United States. The fact and the truth is, American courts already incorporates certain elements of Islamic laws into matters of family law, estates and trust issues in adjudications.
Pronouncements by the ilk of Gingrich and Lazio etc now make it difficult for anyone to dismiss increasing Islamophobia in America as a matter in the fringes or isolated to the emotionally loaded debates about a proposed Islamic Cultural Center on the block and lot number also now known as Park51
We have written about this pattern attacks against Islam Muslims several times, reporting that Islam and Muslims are under attack, pressures and even siege in America, there have been attacks across Ameica against Muslims in California, in Tennessee and also in New York City beyond the issue of Park51. The campaign against an Islamic Center blocks from Ground Zero is snippet, a mere camouflage by those with hidden agenda to besiege Islam and Muslims and generalize offensively against both.
Islamphobia in America is not limited to the debate about the proposed Islamic cultural center blocks from Ground Zero, it is taking place in far flung places throughout America. There was a recent arson against a mosque project in Tennessee, construction equipment were set on fire, expansion in California and elsewhere, have been similarly opposed in the most vehement and violent ways, all these, far from New York City Ground Zero emotional bigoted debate about the so-called proximity or too close for comfort, for some, to have a mosque.
Attacks against Islam and Muslims have become the new xenophobia in America, and perhaps throughout the world. After all, this practice of constantly presenting Islam and all Muslims as dangerous have raged in Europe in many nations of Europe as well.
Islam, Muslims are the issues, Ground Zero is merely a pretentious cover and camouflage for those bigots who are too chicken, too sissy and too pussy cat to come out and just say they are against Muslims and Islam.
Islamophobia is in the upsurge in America, there is no doubt about it. Some Americans who are unhappy about having someone such as Mr. Obama as president of the United States, have continue to insist that he is a Muslim, even though, Mr. Obama is the same man accused of being a member and follower of Reverend Wright church in Chicago for over twenty years
Allegations and accusations have resurfaced against President Obama, to the effect that he is a Muslim and a defender of Islamic radicals. The otherness of Mr. Obama has the subtexts of race, color, and bitterness of Republican Party and their Tea Party surrogates. The "otherness" of Mr. Obama continues to bother a segment of the American population, some continue to insist it has nothing to do with race!
President Obama of the United States, Mayor Bloomberg of New York City and President Jonathan of Nigeria, have made reassuring and comforting statements in defense of Islam and Muslims. President Jonathan made Nigeria proud, by taking a very public stand with a published statement in support of Islam and Muslims as he urged American authorities and the American people to ensure that Muslims and Islam have adequate protections and safeguards. In a statement also published on his Facebook page, President Jonathan of Nigeria, a multicultural, multi-religious plural nation, he said the following: It has been brought to my attention that Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach USA plans to burn copies of the Qur'an sometime in September this year.
I hereby urge authorities in the United States and men and women of goodwill around the world to prevail on Pastor Jones not to do anything that would assault the sensibilities ...of our Muslim brothers and sisters.
This action can not be justified at anytime and certainly is doubly unjustified coming at the holy month of Ramadan. I would urge Pastor Jones to be mindful of the Golden Rule taught by Jesus Christ: Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you. To my Muslim brothers and sisters, I urge you to show restraint while we deal with this issue as we continue to build and strengthen our fortress for religious tolerance and continuing peaceful co-existence.
A Reverend Richard Cizik is of the opinion that evangelicals, ultra conservatives are the principal drivers and that they are indeed, the ones pushing the spread of Islamophobia nationwide in America.
Our visit to Ground Zero and to the proposed and now controversial Islamic Cultural Center on Park51 revealed that many Americans are standing up to the bigots and those engaged in Islamophobia.
There were many Americans with placards proclaiming support for proposed project, while condemning the unfair and unreasonable critics of Islam and Muslims. All told, it is the case there are widespread irrational criticisms directed at Islam and Muslims throughout America. Expansions of existing mosques and the constructions of new mosques have been met with tidal waves of barrages of attack. Illogical and unreasonable attacks, motivated by political opportunism and bigotry.
