Science and Technology minister, Professor Ita Okon Bassey has challenged stakeholders in Nigeria's energy sector to exploit renewable energy and energy conservation towards sustainable development.
He said with the growing global warming occasioned by fossil fuel use among others, it has become imperative to exploit and adopt the use of renewable energy to achieve energy security as well as meeting green house gas obligations.
Renewable energy is derived from sources that regenerate itself through natural process within a relative short time. They include solar, wind, biomass, hydro etc.
The minister spoke in Abuja at a forum on renewable energy organized by the Energy Commission of Nigeria.
He said: "Energy efficiency best practice is therefore suitable in driving sustainable development in line with the present administration's transformation agenda of increasing access to energy for economic empowerment as well mitigating climate change effect."
Speaking earlier, the Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria Prof Abubakar Sambo said, "if we love our children and our great grand children yet unborn, we must make renewable energy available for use."
According to him, apart from the high initial cost of starting up renewable energy projects, it provided a good means of energy mix for developmental purposes.
He identified lack of appropriate laws to support incentives, inadequate human and infrastructure capacity as some of the factors militating against robust renewable energy deployment in the country.
"There is need to have adequate plants in Nigeria for the production of large scale renewable energy in the country. There must be training and retraining of manpower," he said.

Records reservations on panel report on cooperative credit
NEW DELHI: Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan on Tuesday registered opposition to opening agriculture to contract farming, corporate farming and corporate retail as it not only involved certain backtracking on land reforms - notably tenancy reforms and ceiling legislation - but would also convert Indian agriculture into "an adjunct, an appendage" of global capitalism.
Addressing the 53rd meeting of the National Development Council (NDC) here, the Chief Minister said Kerala favoured an approach that emphasised "the protection of peasant agriculture from the baneful consequences of integration with global capitalism through deliberate interventions by the State".
Pointing out that the State's approach ran contrary to what was envisaged in the report of the NDC sub-committee on agriculture, he said Kerala viewed "the agricultural crisis not in terms of output growth rates per se, but as a crisis of the peasantry and agricultural labourers".
Also, Mr. Achuthanandan placed on record the State's reservations about the Vaidyanathan Committee Report on Cooperative Credit. "Its basic assumption that the problems of the cooperative credit sector arise exclusively because of State Governments' interference in its functioning is questionable. In a situation of agrarian crisis, any institutional credit agency catering to this sector will also be hard-pressed."
According to the Chief Minister, unless the agrarian crisis is overcome, reforming the cooperative credit structure along the lines suggested by the Vaidyanathan Committee will not improve its viability.
In his address, the Chief Minister put the number of farmer suicides in Kerala in the vicinity of 2,000. Asked about this at a press conference later, he said the last count when his Government took over a year ago was around 1,500.

Mow Cop
Coordinates: 53°06′47″N 2°13′03″W / 53.112973°N 2.217582°W
Mow Cop /ˈmaʊˈkɒp/ is an isolated village which straddles the Cheshire–Staffordshire border, and is divided between the North West and West Midlands regions of England. It is 24 miles south of Manchester and 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent.
The name is first recorded as "Mowel" around 1270 AD, and is believed to be derived from either the Anglo-Saxon Mūga-hyll, meaning "heap-hill", with copp = "head" added later, or the Common Celtic ancestor of Welsh moel (= hill), with Anglo-Saxon copp added later.[1]
At the village's summit, men once quarried stone to make into querns, used since the Iron Age for milling corn; this trade ended during the Victorian period. The village also has a long history of coal mining. A 65ft rock feature called the Old Man O'Mow sits in one of the quarry areas and is believed to be the site of an ancient cairn. The most dominant feature is Mow Cop Castle which is a folly of a ruined castle at the summit of the hill, built in 1754. Both Mow Cop and Old Man O'Mow are under the management of the National Trust and sit on the walking route of the Cheshire Gritstone Trail. The village was served by a railway station which was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway on 9 October 1848.
Mow Cop is also noteworthy as the birthplace of the Primitive Methodist movement. Starting in 1800, Hugh Bourne from Stoke-on-Trent and William Clowes from Burslem began holding open-air prayer meetings. On 31 May 1807, a large 14-hour camp meeting was held, leading to development of the Primitive Methodist Church in 1810. These camp meetings became a regular feature at Mow Cop, with camps held to celebrate the 100th, 150th and 200th anniversaries of the first camp.[2]
Since the late 20th century, Mow Cop is known for its Killer Mile, a one-mile road race from the railway level crossing on the western side of the hill, up to the castle. The race was first organized in the early 1980s by John Britton, and sponsored by ICL (Kidsgrove). It continues today, organised by the Mow Cop Residents' Association. Mow Cop Runners, a local running club founded in 2009, meet at the Ash Inn and organise The Mow Cop Hill Race, a 6.5 mile fell race. The climb is also well known among local cyclists and features in the 100 Greatest Cycling Climbs in Britain.[3]

- The village is featured prominently in the 1973 novel, Red Shift, by Alan Garner.

Rockers Rule Hollywood at 'Rock of Ages' Premiere
Eighties rock scene gets its due in star-studded film
In the beginning a chart-breaking debut album, tours with more established heavy-metal bands, and pinup good looks made Def Leppard one of the leaders of the '80s British heavy-metal renaissance. The members, barely out of their teens when their first album debuted, soon became one of the most consistently successful pop-metal groups of the decade and beyond, becoming, as one Goldmine article put it, "The Heavy Metal Band You Can Bring Home to Mother."
Pete Willis and Rick Savage started the group in Sheffield in 1977. Joe Elliott had coined the name Deaf Leopard before joining them; Willis and Savage changed the spelling. As a quartet with a since-forgotten drummer, Def Leppard built a local pub following, and in 1978, after being joined by Steve Clark and hiring a temporary drummer, the group produced its first record, an EP called Getcha Rocks Off, released on its own Bludgeon Riffola label. The record got airplay on the BBC and sold 24,000 copies.
The members' self-made success and precociousness (Elliott, the group's eldest member, was 19, and Rick Allen, who became their permanent drummer after playing with several professional Sheffield bands, was 15) brought them the attention of the British rock press. AC/DC manager Peter Mensch added them to his roster and got them a contract with Mercury. Their first album was a hit in the U.K. and reached #51 in the U.S. The group toured Britain with Sammy Hagar and AC/DC, played the 1980 Reading Festival, and first toured the U.S. opening for Ted Nugent, Pat Travers, Judas Priest, and AC/DC. A second U.S. tour, with Blackfoot, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rainbow, coupled with heavy coverage in the U.S. metal press, created a growing American audience.
The group's second album, High 'n' Dry was the first of a string of platinum and multiplatinum LPs, hitting #38 in 1981 and selling over 2 million copies. (It was remixed and rereleased in 1984 with two more tracks, a remixed "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" and "Me and My Wine.") By early 1982 the group had reentered the studio to record Pyromania, which would eventually sell a phenomenal 10 million copies. Midway through the recording, founding guitarist Pete Willis was fired for alcoholism and replaced by Phil Collen, formerly of Girl. At the same time co-lead guitarist Steve Clark was beginning a slide into the extreme alcohol addiction that would eventually kill him.
Shortly after Pyromania's release, the band embarked on its first world tour. MTV, undeniably a factor in the band's U.S. success, began airing "Bringin' on the Heartbreak," and within the next few years virtually all the band's videos (beginning with Pyromania's "Rock of Ages," "Photograph," and "Foolin'") would go into heavy rotation. When producer Mutt Lange, with whom the group had recorded since its major-label debut, was unavailable to work on their next album, Def Leppard turned to Jim Steinman, most famous for his work with Meat Loaf. When Steinman proved incompatible, High 'n' Dry engineer Nigel Green stepped in. Just one month later, drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a New Year's Eve car accident after he attempted to pass another driver at high speed. Surgeons reattached the limb, but after infection set in, it was amputated. Def Leppard's future was in doubt, but by the spring of 1985 Allen was learning to play drums again with the help of a specially adapted Simmons kit. (For a while he performed with special electronic equipment, using prerecorded tapes of his drumming for some parts, then returned to a regular acoustic kit with customized foot pads in 1995.) The band continued recording, but when Lange heard the tapes, he suggested the band scrap them and start again. In August 1986 Allen performed for the first time since his accident on the European Monsters of Rock Tour.
In early 1987 the band finally completed work on the long-awaited Hysteria, which spun off six Top 20 singles: "Animal" (#19, 1987; and their first Top 40 hit in the U.K.), "Hysteria" (#10, 1988), "Pour Some Sugar on Me" (#2, 1988), "Love Bites" (#1, 1988), "Armageddon It" (#3, 1988), and "Rocket" (#12, 1989). Though longtime fans and some critics found it disappointingly poppish, on the verge of bubblegum, that change in direction no doubt contributed to it selling over 16 million copies worldwide and topping the U.S. LPs chart for six weeks.
Tragedy struck the group again when on January 8, 1991, guitarist Steve Clark died of a fatal mixture of drugs and alcohol. Beginning in 1982, he had undergone treatment for his alcoholism several times. His addiction was so disabling that Phil Collen had done most of the leads on Hysteria, and later the group forced Clark to take a lengthy sabbatical. Once in 1989, after being found comatose in a gutter, he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but he seemed beyond help. The group continued recording and even made the video for "Let's Get Rocked" as a foursome.
Clark's replacement, Vivian Campbell, who had previously played with Ronnie James Dio and Whitesnake, joined in 1992, weeks after the release of Adrenalize. Another #1 LP, Adrenalize spawned a flurry of hit singles: "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" (#12, 1992), "Let's Get Rocked" (#15, 1992), "Make Love Like a Man" (#36, 1992), and "Stand Up (Kick Love Into Motion)" (#34, 1992). Retro Active (#9, 1993), a platinum collection of B sides, rarities, and covers, yielded the hit singles "Two Steps Behind" (#32, 1994) (also on the Last Action Hero soundtrack) and "Miss You in a Heartbeat" (#39, 1994). The album also included one Mick Ronson song, "Only After Dark." As the band wanted to explore new directions on its next studio album, it decided to release a greatest-hits collection before embarking on the next stage of its career; Vault (#15, 1995) went on to sell close to 2 million copies. Unfortunately its successor, Slang, which added industrial and even touches of soul to the musical mix, did not fare as well and peaked at #14. The band retreated to its classic '80s pop-metal style on Euphoria (#11, 1999).

Most Enjoyable Gambling Games That Require Little Skill
Most people give gambling a go at some point during their life. Whether it is just for fun or to win some actual money, a number of us will give it a go at some point.
For those who haven't gambled before but want to be amongst the hype, or not to look 'dull' amongst their friends – some people find many of the games too difficult to understand and therefore are either unable to partake, or are simply giving away their money by not knowing what's going on.
Poker is a fine example. Complicated rules and foreign terminology to a beginner gives them no chance in their first game.
If you're one of those, then here are three games that you will understand and will be able to play amongst your mates next time to visit the casino:
Your mum knows how to play this one. The game simply requires you to quickly identify the right numbers on your card that are called out – there's really nothing more to it.
The games themselves only cost a couple of pounds to play, making it a fairly low-risk gamble whilst having fun. Read more

The complexity of a poker hand
Quite often you can play the same hand in a different way and be correct on both occasions in online poker. Recently I have been coaching a player that has been active playing online poker that came directly into this game from an online casino.
He was having problems bluffing in the right spots and was paying off in the wrong spots. This guy played NL50 full ring games and let us look at one such hand example to show you what sort of trouble he was having.
Let us say that a player open raised in early position. He held the As-5s on the button and he was folding these hands because of fear of domination. If villain is raising with say AA-TT and big Broadway hands then our hero has around 36% equity against their range. If they flop an ace then this beats all big pairs KK-TT and also Broadway hands like K-Qs and K-Qo. So we need not always fear an ace falling. Also an A-5s can make the nuts with the flush and a wheel and so it has added equity there as well.
If the flop came say 8d-7s-4c then we could even peel a card off here with the prospect of facing just overcards to see what our opponent did on the turn. We have the backdoor flush draw and straight draws along with the ace overcard. However what we cannot do is re-raise pre-flop because our opponents range is too tight from that position. When our opponents range is tight then they are less likely to fold post flop and so we need to bluff less. However take that same hand on the button against a cut-off raiser and we do not get paid off with our big hands when we make them post flop.
So we can be more aggressive because we are facing a wider range. So you can see how we are playing the same hand in the same seat but differently based on where the action has come from. We are also keen to play our hand differently as well based not just on the position of the raiser but the type of player they are.

Thinking ahead in online poker play
Let's face it; nobody likes being suckered into someone else's strong hand do they? You bluff raise the river and get called and then when your opponent checks the turn and you then fire a second barrel which also gets called. Your opponent then checks the river and you feel compelled to stick the rest of your chips in the middle but your opponent calls with the nuts or some other strong holding.
However there is a very good tactic for figuring out if your opponent is strong or not but do be warned that this play really only works when you have position and also if your opponent is a very straight forward thinking player. Let us say that your opponent raised to 3.5 big blinds and you called with the Jc-10c on the button. Both blinds fold and you go to the flop heads up which comes 8d-7d-4s giving you a gutshot straight draw with overcards. The stakes are $0.50-$1.00 and the pot has $8.50 in the middle and your opponent makes a continuation bet for $5.50.
You raise to $18 on a semi-bluff and your opponent calls. At any one time in any hand of poker then we can broadly categorise our opponents hand into three types. We can thus say that they either have a strong hand, a mediocre hand or a weak hand. When our opponent continuation bets the flop then they could have either with the probability being that they are either weak or mediocre. However that picture changes when they call our raise.
Now they either have a mediocre hand that probably doesn't want any more action or they have a strong hand. With either holding they will check again on the turn and here is where we can check it back. If they really have a strong hand then our opponent will be fearful of checking again on the river in case we check it back and they miss value…….this means that they will bet. If they check then they have basically told us that they are trying to play for a cheap showdown and here is where a full or near pot sized bet can take down the pot……if you have the nerve to do it that is.

The history of online gambling
Gambling has had more than its share of negative publicity over the centuries. Though gambling has existed ever since anyone can remember, many people still have an uninformed view about it. For my part, I realize the negative things that can result from gambling. Then again, I do know that there are certain steps that a person can take in order to ensure that these adverse effects do not happen to him. Here are my top 3 tips for gamblers who want to stay on top of the game. These tips apply wherever you choose to gamble whether it is in the high street on in online card rooms.
Only gamble money that you can afford to lose Not everyone is rich and not everyone can be a high roller. The basic premise is that one enjoys gambling because he enjoys the risk. This means, however, that the risk is different for each person. Just because another person is gambling more money than you does not mean that you have to do the same. Always remember that you should only gamble money that you can afford to lose. In that way, you will not find yourself in dire financial straits. This is actually a method that will make it possible for you to continue your gambling activities in the future.
Limit gambling to a fraction of what you are willing to risk Talking about risks, you should set a limit as to what you are willing to risk. Then take it one step further and cut that limit. This way, if you lose your money, you will still have enough to gamble another time.
Don't let greed get the best of you
Let yourself win a bit and then stop. You can always gamble another day. Do not make the mistake of keeping on wanting more. That is the start of one's downfall.

Not just your poker future but your future
As a poker pro of eleven years then I am all too aware of the need to adapt and to change. Wasn't it Charles Darwin that once said that the species that will survive wouldn't necessarily be the strongest or the fastest but it would have to be the most adaptive to change? This is how my poker career has gone since 2002. A long constant stream of changing and of not being good enough to make money followed by being good enough and so on and so on.
If someone had told me a few years ago that I would be multi-tabling NL100 for a living then I would have thought that they were crazy. I simply wouldn't have wasted my time playing so low. However times change and I cannot afford to be so choosy these days. When you need the money then you have to do whatever it takes to get it. I don't really want to play 40 hours per week but if I have to then I will.
These days I struggle to even hit 20 hours per week because I just have had enough of sitting around on my backside on a chair when I could be outside doing other things that I enjoy. To make money these days and to do it consistently means having a completely different game plan to what you needed some years ago. I recall a friend of mine going to Vienna in the late nineties to play cash games at the Concord. He came back and told me that the limit Stud games were the loosest and wildest that he had ever seen.
He didn't end the trip a winner but that was purely down to variance and playing live over a two week period and especially when you are playing Seven Stud doesn't exactly mean that you will be guaranteed to crush the level. I calculated that he had played in the vicinity of around 3k hands over a two week period…….this is nowhere near enough to guarantee a profit. However the way to beat this particular game dynamic is to learn the theory first and foremost and then play very tight-aggressive.
What happens in a game like this is that you lose a longish series of small pots when you fold and then fold while chasing drawing hands that don't connect. What then tends to happen is that these consistent small losses are offset by big winning pots. However in a tight-aggressive game then this sort of game plan fails to work because sitting back is what everybody else is doing. Then when your opponents are educated enough to only get all in with big hands in big pots then sitting and waiting for such pots is no longer the correct strategy.
To make money in any game dynamic then you have to play opposite that particular game dynamic. If you play the same way as your opponents then you cannot possibly gain an edge. This is one of the biggest flaws in the games of most novice and intermediate no limit hold'em players.
They simply do not identify the current game dynamic and then play opposite to it. If your opponent is tight-aggressive then it becomes difficult to beat them by being even tighter and aggressive. It is much easier to beat TAG opponents by becoming a LAG. This is why my friend was massively +EV in Vienna because he was tight-aggressive in a game that was loose-passive on the whole. So he was tight when everybody else was loose and he was aggressive when everybody else was passive leading to value town.

The art of stealing in poker
It is common knowledge that you will play the majority of your playing hands around the blinds. Whether it is in the blinds or on the button or the two seats to the right of the button! Stealing and re-stealing play a very important part of your poker strategy. Let us begin by looking at a couple of hands taken from a no limit Texas hold'em full ring game played at the $1-$2 level.
Your opponent makes it $7 to go in the cut-off seat after the table folds around to them. You hold the 7d-6d and decide to fold your hand. On the very next orbit you are also on the button with the 10d-8d and the same opponent makes it $7 to go after the table folds to them. Now it is perfectly possible that your opponent may have been dealt good hands on two successive occasions but two raises from a known steal seat are more likely to be with a much wider range.
At this time then there are $10 in the pot with three potential opponents in the hand if you enter the fray. However if you call then several scenarios can happen. Firstly you can get three bet by one of the blinds which essentially forces you to fold. Secondly you can three bet yourself and thus put the blinds and the original raiser to a decision. The blinds hold random holdings and so the likelihood is that your opponents will all fold and you will pocket $10 in profit.
Against observant opponents then you will need to try very hard to balance your ranges. Every time that you call a raise in position in online no limit Texas hold'em or three bet then you are taking action against a single opponent. This will not go unnoticed by observant players and so you need to be careful how often you decide to play back at them and with what holdings. More aggressive players will not stand for being pushed around.
The dynamics of the situation dictate that you must fight your corner and your opponents will also know that you know that. The strategy is clear, you will attempt and your opponents will attempt to steal whatever you and they can get away with. Both you and your opponents will also look to steal from other players who you strongly suspect of stealing. The biggest winners however at the lower level or the lower middle limits of online poker are the players who take this to another level and re-steal from the re-stealers.
I often refer to that as level 3 game strategy and this is a factor that I mentioned or have mentioned in other articles. In full ring online cash games then the early seats tend to be played routinely and so this makes them easier to read. However it is when you get to the final three seats to the right of the blinds that you then need to be a little creative. Unfortunately this means that variance will increase because playing hands against raises in raised pots with less than premium holdings will increase your losses when you lose some of those hands.

What is their hand range
Let us start off by looking at a hand example. You are sitting on the button with the Jh-10h and you have a stack of 112bb in online no limit Texas hold'em poker. It has been folded around to the cut-off who raises to 3.5bb and they too have a stack of 100bb……what is your play here and do you fold, call or re-raise? Well if your poker strategy is to re-raise then you have to remember that not only are you three betting a raiser but your hand isn't all that strong either.
So you need to try and assess what sort of range your opponent is raising with to then estimate what your correct response should be. Let us look at an extreme example that shows the correct deviations at work. Imagine that your opponent raises with 100% of their range and now we have to assess how a hand like J-10s fares against a range like that. So now we introduce PokerStove into the equation which is a wonderful piece of software that is free to download online.
PokerStove shows us that we have 57.5% equity against a random hand and when you figure that we also have position on our opponent then we clearly cannot fold. This means that we can either call and use our positional advantage post flop or three bet our opponent and look to win the pot immediately. Both lines are viable online poker strategy. However there are two problems here and the first is that we cannot be certain that our opponent has a 100% range and secondly that very few opponents will range that widely.
So doing a little research will reveal to you what the average range is from certain seats but only close analysis of each opponent can really help you here. So let us try and construct our opponents range from downloaded data using say PokerTracker. After 5000 hands on our opponent in no limit Texas hold'em then you see that they open raise with 38% of their total range. Once again using PokerStove then we can see what a 38% range represents. So we then input our J-10s hand to see that we have around 45% equity against that range.
Now it isn't possible to make these sorts of online poker calculations at the actual table. But using simulations and data like these give you a feel for certain situations that arise. Because 45% equity is much less the previous total of 57.5% equity that we saw against a 100% range then three betting becomes less attractive.
So calling the raise may be the best option here but what actually underpins everything is that you took the time to understand your opponents range and what that actually meant in terms of your own online poker strategy. Imagine also that your opponent was a rock and after 5000 hands you knew that their opening range was only 3% from early position.
This is roughly AA-JJ and AK and so now we know that a J-10s only has around 28% equity against that tight range. So we have a clear fold and calling can really only be justified if we know that our opponent is capable of making absolutely horrendous post flop mistakes.

Don't let gambling trick you
I am sure that you have heard of the gambler's fallacy before. But just in case you need your memory to be refreshed, let me state it in simple terms. The gambler's fallacy is the belief that something that the odds can increase and decrease depending on previous occurrences, even for something that has a fixed probability.
The most common example used to illustrate the gambler's fallacy is the flipping of a coin. The probability of getting heads on any toss is 1 out of 2, or 50 percent. Statistically, the odds will remain the same, no matter how many times you toss the coin. However, the gambler's fallacy dictates that perhaps if you flip the coin 9 times and each time, it turns up heads, the chances are that it would turn up heads on the 10th throw. That is because the first 9 flips were heads.
Though at first thought, the idea makes sense, it really does not make any sense at all. No matter how many times you flip that coin, there are always two possibilities – either heads or tails. Hence, the odds remain at 1 is to 2.
Now some people extend this fallacy to other gambling activities like the roulette. For example, they think that if the roulette has showed red for the past several spins, the next should still be a red. You do not have to have much experience playing the roulette to know that doing so would be disastrous. The odds of a red coming up are the same, no matter what.
The next time that you go to the casino, make sure that you know the real odds and that you do not bet on something simply because "it is due." Remember the gambler's fallacy.

Gambling in the Far East
Gambling has been part of China since the late part of the imperial dynasty from 1644 to 1912. The areas famous for liquor and gambling then were Canton, Macao, Shanghai and Hong Kong which were inhabited by foreigners (Americans), mostly males. Not only were the Americans involved in gambling as the Chinese natives also joined in. Currently though, not all states in China have legalized gambling. Only Macao allows gambling of any kind while Hong Kong only allows horse racing at its Jockey Club.
China's popular gambling games are Mah Jongg and Pai Gow. Mah Jongg is an ancient game originally developed for the rich sector. This game, which means sparrow, is believed to have been invented by a fisherman who wanted to prevent sea sickness while in the middle of the sea. Though it went through several variations, Mah Jongg was standardized in the 1990s.
It consists of 136 to 144 tiles and is somewhat similar to rummy. The tiles bear unique names such as "heavenly peace," "moon from the bottom of the sea," and "thirteen orphans." Mah Jongg uses two dice and chips and needs four players. Although banned in Communist China before, this game is now the most widespread form of Oriental gambling around the globe.
Pai Gow makes use of a bank that has one woodpile. One of the players perform the banking duties while the others get four tiles of the woodpile. The aim is to group the tiles in pairs of two so that the player's pair has a greater value than the bank. Pai Gow is actually a Chinese domino game. Baccarat is based on this Chinese game.
Sci Bo is another gambling game that means two dice. The game is played with three dice and players bet on the total of their dice. The dice are placed inside a cup and are shaken after which the cup is turned upside down. Players then place their bets before the dice are revealed. The casino has its own mechanized version with a table marked with numbers for the bets. A vibrating platform shakes the dice and the results are shown on a screen.
Keno is a bingo-type game that traces its roots in China. It is now a common game in lotteries and casinos around the world.
Pachinko is a pinball type of game that has become so popular in Japan.
Fan-Tan is a traditional game of counting pebbles. Fan actually means to turn over a bowl or a certain container that holds the stones while Tan means to spread out the stones.

Urbanisation and Migration Trends in India

Urbanisation and Migration Trends in India
The study presents a concurrent scenario of migration that is ongoing in India. Post
independent India witnessed several transformations in various sectors. Due to unequal
development and the indifferent attitude of development agencies and the Government,
a considerable proportion of the rural population has immigrated to the urban places
in search of better opportunities resulting in many problems such as unidentifiable
population groups and slum formation. Migration from rural to urban has changed the
nature and proportion of population and its supportive systems.
The paper is based on Indian Census data from 1901-2001. It has been found that there
is a strong association between industrialization and in-migration. Haryana state has
emerged as a new and popular choice for the immigration, and Maharashtra state is
the second most favourite destination by the out- migrants. By looking at the trend of
the population growth it can be projected that the future population of Mumbai will be
about 20 million in year 2011, while Delhi will have approximately more than 15
million inhabitants in the same year. Apart from these, many other newly emerged
cities, because of industries and other comparatively better human sustainable facilities
are witnessing rapid population growth.
Page 3
Unequal infrastructural growth all across the country has divided modern India into
mainly urban and rural. The differences are blatantly apparent with regards to the
electric supply, quality of education and health facilities, transportation, drinking water
and other basic facilities. During the last decades though, with cooperation from the
state and central governments, efforts have been made to up-link villages with roads.
But1merely road up- linking is not enough for the population living in the villages.
Ensuring the quality of services is more necessary than facilitating local development.
For example: The quality of education has deteriorated in the village primary schools
despite government's efforts to upgrade the schools by recruiting teachers with higher
qualifications. Meal distributions during the school hours have scarcely been able to
raise the quality of learning as well as the number of learners. Few deprived or
marginalized (either below poverty-line, education-ignoring households or no option
other than primary schools) families are sending their children1 to the government run
primary schools. Education is one of example. However, most of the mechanisms set by
public sector have been proved to be ineffective in the rural areas.
Villages have been left with few options2, no other than opening grocery stores, medical
stores and health facility providers or other public need based outlets along the
roadsides. Villages are shrinking due to lack of community supportive facilities. Even
there is no extra land for playgrounds or other community needs in most of the villages.
Potential lack of infrastructure and employment opportunities may be the determining
factors favouring rural population to immigrate to the urban areas.
The problem of infrastructural deficiency cannot be tackled without proper solutions.
Urban areas have their own problems. Due to unplanned structure of cities, it is a
complex process to identify completely the migrants and also detect the problems that
Page 4
arise on a daily basis. Greater research as well as significant restructuring of the system
of governance, legal and administrative framework is required in a manner that standard
reform measures can be implemented.
Urbanization refers to a change of residence (places) from traditional rural economies to
a modern industrial one. It is a progressive concentration (Davis, 1965) of a population
in an urban unit. Quantification of urbanization is exceedingly difficult. It is a long-term
process. Davis has explained urbanization as a process (Davis, 1962) of switch from
spread out pattern of human settlements to one of concentration in urban centers.
It is a finite process- a cycle through which a nation passes as they evolve from agrarian
to industrial society (Davis and Golden, 1954). Accordingly, three stages in the process
of urbanization are mentioned. Stage one is the initial stage characterized by rural
traditional society with predominance in agriculture and dispersed pattern of
settlements. Stage two refers to an acceleration stage where basic restructuring of the
economy and investments in social overhead capitals including transportation,
communication (Pranati, 2006).
Proportions of urban population gradually increase from 25% to 40%, 50%, 60% and so
on. Dependence on primary sector gradually dwindles. The third stage is known as
terminal stage where urban population exceeds 70% or more. At this stage level of
urbanization (Davis, 1965) remains more or less same or constant. Rate of growth of
urban population and total population becomes same at this terminal stage. A change in
the usual place of residence can take place either permanent or semi permanent or
temporary basis or seasonal. However, there is no standard source of data either for
internal or international migration (Bell, 2003; United Nations, 2002). Some social
scientists have surveyed particular districts, area and states and have also reported about
migration scenarios. A recent survey shows that census is the largest source of
Page 5
information on internal migration at the cross-country level. A study shows that 138
countries collected information on internal migration in their censuses compared to 35
through registers and 22 from surveys (Bell, 2003).
Migration can be measured in a number of ways with two most common forms
of data being events and transitions. The former are normally associated with
population registers, which record individual moves while the latter is generally derived
from censuses comparing place of residence at two points in time. Population registers
in fact count the migrations, while the census counts the migrants (Boden et al. 1992).
In India, it is very complex to accurately identify migrants because they are not
required to be registered in India either at their place of origin or their destination. This
exacerbates problems including illegal settlements and other terrorist activities such as
bomb explosions at public places. This is in contrast to the practice in China where
migrants are required to register themselves with the local authority (Zhu 2003). In lack
of registration of migrants, Census and National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO)
are the two main sources of migration data in India. Census provides data on migrants
based on place of birth and place of last residence. If the place of birth or place of last
residence is different from the place of enumeration, a person is defined as a migrant
(Bagat; 2005) On the other hand, if the place of birth and place of numeration is the
same, the person is a non-migrant. Migrants defined on the basis of place of birth or
place of last residence are called lifetime migrants because the time of their move is
unknown (Visaria 1980). It has also been observed that the migrants from rural areas
retain attachment to their native place. They continue to maintain links with their
families and villages through regular visits and sending remittances (Singh et al 1980).
However, the lifetime migration based on census definition does not provide
information on the number of moves made by a migrant.
Page 6
Indian census provides information on place of birth for each person right from
1881 census. The name of district was recorded if the person was born in the district
other than the district of enumeration. Similarly, the name of the province was recorded
if the person was born in the province other than province of enumeration. Until 1951
census, the district was the lowest administrative unit of defining the place of birth.
Based on this information it was possible to identify inter-district and inter-state
migration, but was not possible to identify intra-district migration. However, since 1961
census, it was possible to measure intra-district migration as village or town was
considered the unit of defining the place of birth (Srivastava 1972). It was possible for
the first time to study the rural urban origin of migrants defined in relation to place of
birth and four streams of migration viz. (i) rural to urban, (ii) urban to urban (iii) urban
to rural and (iv) rural to rural (Bose 1976; Skeldon 1986). The duration of residence
was also ascertained in 1961 census. Place of last residence was added in since 1971
census and the reasons of migration related to place of last residence were also asked
since 1981 census.
Currently developed countries are characterized by high levels of urbanization and
some of them are in the final stage of the urbanization process and subsequently are
experiencing a slowing down of urbanization due to a host of factors (Brockerhoff,
1999; Brockerhoff and Brennam 1998). A majority of the developing countries, on the
other hand, started experiencing urbanization only since the middle of the 20th century.
The main objective of this study is to identify the process of urbanisation in
India with emphasis on level, ratio of urban and rural, rate of migration using the Indian
Census data 1901-2001. It makes an effort to trace the pattern of urbanization, urban
problems and future projection of population of urban and cities and related policy
issues as well.
Page 7
Data and Methodology
In the present paper, data has been taken from census India 1991 to 2001 and NSSO.
Univariate and bivariate table have been used for presentation of the data. In light of the
present scenario of migration from 1901 to 2001 census as discussed above, also the
paper efforts to overview the recent trends of mobilisation for infrastructural investment
and analyses their impact on the structure of settlements and a future projection of
urbanization patterns.
Result and Discussion
In this section, data has been widely analyzed to ascertain and illustrate the fluctuation
and expansion of the urban population.
Urbanization in India
The table1 indicates the percentage of the urban population to the total population and
the difference over the previous decades. It shows that the urban population of India
increased more than eight times from 25.8 in 1901 to 285.4 million in 2001. The
increment is more in the past four decades in comparison to the beginning four decades.
The reason behind this might be the development of better infra -structure and other life
supportive facilities including education, hospital services and massive growth in
employment opportunities. Industrialization is attracting greater numbers of rural
people to the urban areas, other than unequal infra-structural growth in the villages,
comparative deterioration in agriculture based livelihood (as due to growth of
population, population burden on land is constantly increasing and land holding size is
shrinking) also are compelling them to move out from the village. Decreasing land
holding size is compelling the rural population to open shops and other grocery stores,
which is contributing in increasing the number of towns. The table also shows that
percentage wise highest urban population growth was recorded during 1971-1981.
Page 8
Trend and future estimation
Table 2 shows the trend and future estimation of urban-rural ratio to rural population.
The trend of urbanization is calculated through time series analyses and urban-rural
ratio (U/R*100) is used to measure urban ratio to rural ratio. From above table it is clear
that the percentage of the rural population gradually decreases from 89% to 72% over a
century, whereas, the percentage of the urban population has increased from 11% in
1901 to 28 % in 2001. By the year 2051, it is projected that more than 36% of the total
population will be residing in urban area, while urban-rural ratio may increase by more
than 56% by 2051.Trend of urabnisation can be seen from the Graph-A. If, according to
the projections, the Urban-rural ratio for India in 2051 will turn out to be 56, it means
that against every 100 ruralities there will be 56 urbanites in India. However, according
to literature (Mathur 2004), the process of urbanization in India is likely to persist until
2030 A.D. at least, unless, it is estimated to achieve a level of 50 % urbanization.
Stream and Volume of Internal migration
Table 3 shows that stream and volume of internal migration by place of last residence
1991 and 2001 in (duration 0-9). It is clear from the table that follows, that most of the
female migrants migrating from rural to rural through marriage migration in intra state
(68.6%) and interstate (32.7%) as well as international migration, While, the total
percentage of migrant rural to rural in inter state migrants (38%) is greater in
comparison to rural to rural in intra-state migrants. Past studies have also been reported
that a number of migrants have been migrating within the district, within the state as
well as within the nation. This is the reason for the larger number of migrants being
categorized as intrastate migrants.
Page 9
Reasons for migration
Table 4 shows the reasons for migration, and the percentage of migrants at their last
residence with duration (0-9 years). Most of male migrants (37.6%) cited Work/
Employment as the main reason. 43.8% migrants, who cited 'Marriage' follows this,
and finally, 'Moved with households' was cited as the third highest indicator. The
rationale behind this is that a greater number of educated, skilled and also unskilled
people move to other states for better opportunities, to earn larger incomes, and in
search of job respectively. The percentages of male and female migrants that 'Moved
with households' were found to second highest 25.1% and 19% respectively. It may be
due to fact that most migrants want to move with their families from their native places.
In the year 2001 the migration scenario has changed. While past studies (Singh and
Yadav, 1991) reported that higher single male migrants in comparison to those who
'Moved with households', they maintained a connection to their place of origin by
sending remittances. A study reveals that more educated, skilled and larger income
holders are likely to migrate (2001 census report).
Migrants and their educational level
Table 5 shows the percentage distribution of migrants and their educational level. The
table indicates that the percentages of all educational levels, beside illiterate females,
were found to be approximately the same for both: migrants and non-migrants
households. The percentage of females were found to be higher for migrant households
in comparison to non-migrant households, While the percentage of males in non-
migrant households is approximately two times (17.3%) that of the males in migrant
households. This may be due to fact that illiterate migrants were not required at
destination places because skilled persons or comparatively educated persons are only
required at destination places. Whereas, female migrants have been working in houses
Page 10
doing domestic chores, the other reason reflected in the study, was migration due to
Variation in migration profile (1991-2001)
Table 6 indicates the variation in migration profile between the years 1991 and 2001 for
some important states based on migrants by last residence (0-9years). Rate of out
migration was found to be high (3.4) for Bihar and it is followed closely by Delhi (3.3).
The reason is that Bihar's migrants have marginal land or no land to sustain a livelihood
and Delhi's migrants are economically strong and they wanted to migrate for a better
opportunity to earn a larger income. Shukla (2002) has reported earlier in the study of
U.P. state that two types of migration trends were found to be more prevalent, those
who has marginal land or no land and other who are economically strong. In the case of
Bihar, the rate of migration was exceedingly high (3.4%) in the 2001 census whereas it
was found to be 1.9% in 1991 census. Growth rate of the net migration in 2001 was
found to be very high (343%) for Hariyana. From the table, the percentage growth rate
of in-migration was found to be substantially higher (76%) in comparison to out
migration (4.7%). This is an eye-opening concern to the government body and the
policy makers.
Punjab, Hariyana and Maharastra, which are on top of the list in (SDP) State domestic
product per capita and where the poverty percentage is low, attract migrants from other
states. Whereas Bihar which has high population growth rate, high levels of poverty and
poor SDP, has out migration exceeding in-migration by 31 for every 1000 persons.
States-wise change in growth and migration
Table 7 shows that states-wise change in growth and migration. From the table it is
evident that Punjab, Hariyana and Maharashtraa which top the list in SDP per capita
and where the poverty percentage is low, attract migrants from other states, whereas
Page 11
Bihar which has high population growth rate has high levels of poverty and poor (SDP)
State domestic product. West Bengal is another state, which receives more migrants
from other states. The reason behind this is that there are number of migrants from
Bangladesh as Bangladesh sharanarthi (refugee). In the case of Gujarat, the rate of in-
migration is also high. This may be due to its industrial area, which draws people to
move from other states. Mahrashra and Hariyana have been received a greater number
of migrants in comparison to other states. In the case of Hariyana, net-migration was
found to be very high (79 per 1000 population), approximately twice that of
Maharashtra. Hariyana state has been attracting migrations from other districts, states as
well as other countries. This may be due to fact that this area is comparatively a highly
developed area with a number of industries, shopping malls, call centres and so forth.
There are different districts which are responsible for these, namely: Gurgaon,
Faridabad, Rewari, Hishar, Panipat, and Sonipat. The Gurgaon district, especially have
been attracting a large number of people from other areas because of a good
environment, the standard of living, as well as a greater availability of jobs for skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled workers.
Another reason attributed to high in-migrations from nearby states may be the close
proximity to Delhi, the capital of India. The table below indicates the states of origin of
the people drawn to Hariyana.
Future Projection of cities
Table 8 reveals that about 37% of the total population lives in these million plus/ urban
area cities. As per 2001 census there are 12, newly added million plus cities. These are
Agra, Meerut, Nashik, Jabalpur, Jamshedpur, Asansol, Dhanbad, Faridabad, Allahabad,
Amritsar, Vijaywada, Rajkot. By looking at the trend it can be projected that the future
population in of Mumbai will be about 20 million in year 2011, while Delhi will have
Page 12
approximately more than 15 million inhabitants in the same year. In the future, the
growth rate of the population of Delhi may be increase at a slower rate due to
development of the NCR. Like National Capital Region regions such as, Gurgaon,
Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad and so forth the growth rate of some urban places
have such as, Banglore, Hyderabad,, Surat , Delhi and Pune, been very high.
Due to unequal development throughout the country, migration trends and patterns are
unequal. This is indicative of a distressing level, because imbalanced migration is
detrimental to a variety of services. It was found that highest percentage of migration to
Maharashtra occurred from Bihar followed by Uttar Pradesh. It was also found that
most developed states like Hrayana and Maharashtra are the best destination for the
migrants. Planned urbanization of rural areas are necessary to pace with modernization
and industrialization otherwise unequal migration trends and patterns pose a major
challenge in times to come. On the basis of the present study the basic feature of
urbanization in India can be highlighted as:
1 Lopsided urbanisation induces growth of class I cities.
2 Urbanisation may occur without industrialization and strong economic base.
3 Urbanisation is mainly a product of demographic explosion and poverty induced rural
urban migration.
4 Rapid urbanization leads to massive growth of slum followed by misery, poverty,
unemployment, exploitation, inequalities, degradation in the quality of urban life.
5. Urbanisation occurs not only because of urban pull but also mainly due to rural push.
6. Poor quality of rural-urban migration leads to poor quality of urbanization.

Big K.R.I.T. ft. Rapsody & Heather Victoria - Gettin' Mine
Artist: Big K.R.I.T.
Featuring: Rapsody, Heather Victoria
Producer: 9th Wonder
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 9 votes )
Big K.R.I.T. may have gone major, but he hasn't forgotten his colleagues on the indie side of the industry. His first feature since the release of his Rich Dad, Poor Dad video back in November, promotional single Gettin' Mine finds the Def Jam signee toasting his good fortune alongside a couple of talented artists from the Jamla Records stable. Label head 9th Wonder mans the mixing boards, creating a chill, sampled beat to back exultant bars by K.R.I.T. and First in Flight State favorite Rapsody. Heather Victoria, the rising R&B songstress behind 2011's Hip Hop Soul Lives EP, contributes some ear-pleasing vocal harmonies to the chorus. This joint isn't part of any forthcoming project but fans can, of course, keep their browsers locked for the latest tunes from all involved.

Kansas wants sperm donor pay child support
The department first filed a petition against Marotta in Shawnee County District Court in October, asking that he be required to reimburse the state for the benefits and make future child support payments.
Along with the 1994 law regarding artificial insemination, the department cited a 2007 Kansas Supreme Court ruling. In that case, the court decided that a sperm donor who works through a licensed physician can't legally be considered a child's father - and doesn't have the right to visit or help raise the child - absent a formal, written agreement.
However, that case involved a sperm donor who was seeking access to a child but had only an informal, unwritten agreement with the child's mother. Marotta's attorneys contend the state is reading it incorrectly.
Still, Linda Elrod, a law professor and director of Washburn University's Children and Family Law program, said the law seems clear: Sperm donors who don't want to be held liable for child support need to work with a doctor.
"Other than that, the general rule is strict liability for sperm," said Elrod, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Supreme Court case.

We are retiring our Vagabond Mini Lithium Battery Packs in favor of the more (less?) stylish big brother, the Vagabond Lithium Extreme Battery Pack.
If you know anyone who has used the Paul Buff Vagabond Mini Lithium you've probably heard rave reviews. They may have sporatically even have burst into tears talking about all of the love they have for this guy. The short story is if you shoot with our AlienBees or Einstein lights, this pack is a no brainer. It will also run Profoto Acute packs, which suck way too much power from the previous models.
The number of pops this gives is inspiring (with the Einstein 640's and a recyle time of 3.6 seconds it can power off 441 pops, the AlienBees even better with a recylce time of 3.2 seconds and 544 pops). All in all this pint sized powerhouse is a must have when shooting on the go...oh! and it's wonderful to have around when you power goes out after a New England blizzard and you want to recharge your iPhone ;)

Word of Mouth
Good old Filipino food–and a fine Bataan resort–for our company outing
On the first anniversary of our restaurant Wooden Spoon, my business partner and I wanted to give back to our employees by treating them to a beach outing.
Our destination of choice was Morong, Bataan. I had never been to this place, but my badminton friends have raved about their fun experience here.
It was a pleasant drive passing through the towns of Pampanga. It is a must for me to pass by Nepo Mart and pick up some tocino and longaniza from Minings at the Magnolia lane of Nepo. I have been coming here for decades, since the Tayags introduced me to this supplier (0999-4493001).
From there, we drove to Subic where we stopped at the Duty-Free Shop. What a surprise; there was so much to shop for. There were clothes, shoes, a lot of candies, chips, foodstuff and many things only found abroad.
We ate in a Japanese restaurant that was supposed to be the best of Subic. It was good, but I've tried better.
From Subic, we took a 30-minute drive to Morong, Bataan, where we booked ourselves at Coralview Beach Resort. The resort has complete amenities for games and is the ideal venue for any company outing.
The entire staff went swimming. The beach was no Boracay, but it was nice enough for running around and relaxing by the waters. There were plastic rafts one could rent to go paddling around.
Joyous day
We played games the whole day. We separated the staff into two groups and had them competing in games like volleyball, obstacle course, swimming relay, tug-of-war and basketball, all spiced with lots of teasing around. This was a simple fun day with people you relied and depended on, a joyous day of bonding and laughter.
The resort has at least two swimming pools, a billiard hall, food, bar, air-conditioned rooms with HDTV and cable, and the place has not stopped expanding. I guess business has been good. I saw pictures of the property when it was still raw land, and it's amazing to see how it has blossomed into one of the better resorts in Morong.
On our lunch menu were good old Pinoy adobo, fresh lumpiang ubod, sibuyas and kamatis, manggang hilaw and bagoong and lots of rice, plus ice-cold beer. This is a trip I will remember for a long time.
Every event with our staff has become memorable. Last Christmas, we took them to the all-you-can-eat buffet at Vikings in SM Marikina, and we were talking about it for days. This is the definition of happiness for me.
Coralview Resort is at Morong, Bataan; tel. (02) 7822882-83, 0912-8234779.

Where Immigration Reform Stands Without Kennedy
Published on Wed, Aug 26, 2009
While Democrats in Congress are hoping to push health care reform forward in honor of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, the senator's death serves as a reminder that Congress and President Obama have substantial work to do to accomplish another of Kennedy's lifelong causes: immigration reform.

SAN FRANCISCO - They worked the basketball, right to left, and back out to Darren Collison at the top of the key. The UCLA point guard feigned inside and fired the ball to Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who was open just behind the three-point line.
Mbah a Moute let it fly.
It missed.
Later, the ball popped loose under the Bruins' basket, out to the right baseline and Mbah a Moute. He had another open shot - 8 feet, maybe 10 - and he didn't hesitate.
It went over everything, an airball.
In between those sequences, Mbah a Moute had another attempt from 18 feet with a defender closing as the ball left his hand.
It missed again.
In the second half there was another miss from the left wing, just before the 35-second shot clock expired. Mbah a Moute didn't have much time, but he lined it up and let it go.
It bounced off the rim.
Still, UCLA coach Ben Howland remains almost giddy over the progress Mbah a Moute has made developing a midrange jumpshot since making some mechanical adjustments two weeks ago. So much so that after the Bruins' 62-46 victory Thursday at Cal, in which Mbah a Moute scored his four points on a dunk off a steal and a follow off one of his three offensive rebounds, Howland guaranteed the sophomore forward would become a "great shooter."
"I'm saying that because I'm so excited about it. We just haven't had enough repetition. All we've done is changed his elbow from shooting here to shooting up here," the UCLA coach said, elevating his right arm maybe 2 inches.
"I'm telling you right now, he shot unbelievable (in practice on Wednesday). It's going to take time to do the repetition, repetition, repetition part of it. But I guarantee you that he is going to be a great shooter before this is all said and done."
A guarantee?
"How often do I ever say that?" Howland said.
If it happens, Mbah a Moute would elevate his game as well as the third-ranked Bruins, who on Sunday will resume Pac-10 play at Stanford.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Drift City is a FREE to play, with option to pay down-loadable game. It was developed by http://www.ijji.com , who have one of the largest collection of FREE to play, with option to pay down-loadable games. You start with a stock vehicle in a anime style driving world . The user is to learn how to drift and control their car as it is slowly upgraded in the games progression. The game has many plus side features, but throws the gamer into the anime world of drifting online with hardly any basic knowledge on how to play the game. I give Drift City a 4/5.

I was driving to an appointment at about 3:00 today and listening to XM's Rob Dibble and Kevin Kennedy show when they cut away to the WBC. Joining the regular announcers was Barry Bonds.
Barry was excited and friendly and laughing, talking about how he loved baseball and loved his teammates, etc ad nauseum. I thought Mike Schmitt was going to slobber all over himself. Poor Joe Castellano, the pbp guy, could hardly get a word in edgewise. I wonder if it had been scheduled before the big bomb of a book landed?
It was quite enjoyable and even more so because Junior hit a couple of no-doubters before I could reach my destination.

"The regime feeds off American hostility," says Robert Tait, who spent nearly three years in Iran as a correspondent for the Guardian until he was forced to leave last December when the government refused to renew his visa. "Every time there's another threat from Washington, that gives them more oxygen. They won't be able to use this threat indefinitely. There's a widespread feeling in Iran that the way things are isn't the way they should be. People believe that too much isolation has not been good for them. But as long as there seems to be a clear and present danger, the government has what it sees as a justification to do whatever it wants."
This justification is especially convenient at a time when growing numbers of Iranians are expressing their unhappiness with the government. Low wages, spiraling inflation, high prices for gasoline, discrimination against women, suffocating social controls, religious-oriented university curricula and the spread of social ills like prostitution and drug abuse have angered much of the population. Some of this dissent hovers just beneath the surface of everyday life—as in Tehran, where a bus has been converted into a mobile discothèque to evade religious authorities. Other forms of dissent are more overt, and even go so far as to co-opt government idioms. Last fall, striking workers at a sugar factory chanted "Our salary is our absolute right!"—a play on the government slogan "Nuclear energy is our absolute right."
The rhetoric of nationalism no longer satisfies Iranians. Their country has finally achieved independence, but now most wish for more: freedom, prosperity and engagement with the outside world. Iran will not be truly stable until its leaders offer them those great prizes.
Former New York Times correspondent Stephen Kinzer wrote All the Shah's Men and, most recently, A Thousand Hills, which documents the rebuilding of Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.

Hive Onslaught Elite tips for 3/3 Optionals
View Single Post
Join Date: Jul 2012
Posts: 262
# 10
so upon further review, a couple more tips that will help your group get the optionals:
1. carrier pets should be on recall until at least midway through the first part. if you use carrier pets at the beginning, you WILL aggro everything and your team will blow up.
2. focus fire on the spheres first. work together as a team, paying attention to who is attacking what and adjust accordingly. spheres should hold priority over cubes first.
3. as you start making your way through the first group, if there are multiple targets incoming, you and your team should start backing up to effectively distance you from the slower tactical cubes. the spheres will keep pace with a ship in reverse. if you need an added boost, use reverse and evasive. distance control will help keep you alive.
4. have your sci guys use sensor scan on groups of spheres. you will shred them apart like a pinata at a birthday party.
5. if you have more than 1 sci, make sure they coordinate with each other. sub nuke the queen when she has 4+ buffs. keep firing off sensor scan whenever you can.
6. coordinate, coordinate, coordinate. have a person calling out directions. if you see 2 people go down in the 2nd optional part, have everyone disengage and evade until 1 or both of those down respawns.
7. cross heal and situational awareness. make sure you know who is attacking what, who has the aggro and heal them. keep them alive so they maintain the aggro. if you work together, this mission is very, very easy.
8. i still love my energy drain build on this map. it makes getting through it soo much easier and quicker. you reduce the hurt and resilience of the tactical cubes. you make the unimatrix logs childs play and you make the queen that much easier.
overall, you should have a well balanced team. make sure you have at least one sci captain. pure dps might be able to roll through this map, but it's doubtful. get yourself a good team and you will be able to appreciate this stf for what it really does. it adds diversity to the dps-centric style that we're all accustomed to. embrace it.
