Project Red Mod for Minecraft is a very technical mod for users that are very fond of redstone. Project Red Mod will make them speculate as to why they hadn't used it sooner. It empowers players to embrace a more consolidated, orderly setting in which tasks completed with normal redstone would not support.
Logic Gates permits the user to squeeze things – that would otherwise require the construction of a gigantic redstone building – into a confined Logic Gate that can be positioned on solid blocks of any kind. Wires, on the other hand, act as redstone dust, plus the abilities to go around corners, above and below blocks, and be transferred for up to 256 blocks.
All in all, Project Red Mod for Minecraft will make users ponder how they ever withstood Minecraft without it.

She's chatted with thousands of celebrities during the course of her career, and Oprah Winfrey isn't sure that Lindsay Lohan has what it takes to stay clean and sober.
Following their epic interview, the "Oprah's Next Chapter" star was left feeling a bit uneasy about the troubled "Mean Girls" gal.
Making the rounds to promote her new movie, Oprah Winfrey appeared on "Good Morning America" in New York City on Tuesday (August 6).
The Queen of Daytime wore a pretty knee-length purple dress as she arrived ready to talk up "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
Originally planning to jet off to Europe soon after being released from rehab, Lindsay Lohan cancelled her plans thanks to some advice from Oprah Winfrey.
Scheduled to take flight on Monday night, the "Mean Girls" star was hoping to get away from it all, but the Queen of Daytime convinced her that the threat of relapse would be too great without a support system nearby.
Stepping out to show off their latest work, the cast of "The Butler" lined the red carpet at the film's New York premiere on Monday evening (August 5).
Turning heads in a little black dress and a bedazzled sling, Mariah Carey arrived at the Ziegfeld Theater on the arm of her hubby, Nick Cannon.
Taking time away from interviewing others, Oprah Winfrey rocked a massive afro on the cover of O magazine's September 2013 issue.
While donning a gorgeous orange dress with the 3.5-pound wig, the former Queen of Daytime dished about her new artificial locks and reveals her battle with constant hair issues.
Preparing for what is sure to be a much talked-about film, the stars of Lee Daniels' "The Butler" attended a press conference at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Monday (August 5).
Enjoying a return to the big screen now that her daily talk show is over, Oprah Winfrey wore a gray top and matching slacks as she smiled brightly for photos.
She's fresh from rehab and ready to talk, and Lindsay Lohan is featured in a new promo for her interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter."
The "Mean Girls" actress looks a bit intense as she sits across from the talk show queen for a sit-down conversation with no questions off-limits.
Taking a break from doing the interview herself, Oprah Winfrey stopped by the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday (July 31).
The Queen of Daytime smiled for fans and photographers outside the studio in NYC in a gray color-block dress with matching heels.

was taken in the introduction of the simple filtration of water in Bangladesh.2 The Kigali Institute of Technology (KIST) in Kigali, Rwanda, has been using such an "adopt a village" model in its engineering program.3 Students are exposed to villagers' problems at an early stage in their curriculum.
Recommendation: The high mortality rates in Nigeria from diarrheal disease and malaria argue that the Nigerian government should offer health education and training in the schools that would include the importance of safe drinking water, how to maintain a sanitary water supply, and how to choose effective medicines. Other relevant topics could include nutrition, hygiene, safe sex, and the prevention and treatment of common diseases such as respiratory infections, diarrhea, and HIV/AIDS. This program should be supplemented by public pronouncements on topics such as filtering water and a public information campaign on the importance of using the most effective antimalarial therapy—currently ACTs—and the necessity of completing the course of treatment.
The proposals offered here for government suggest a new approach for philanthropic foundations and donor agencies. Ideally, any donor should have two objectives. First, enable the target community to find and implement solutions to its own problems rather than giving it a particular solution—that is, as the popular saying goes, teach people to fish instead of giving them fish. Second, create sustainable solutions that do not require an ongoing supply of donor funds.
Too often, however, aid agencies and foundations are criticized for making recipient countries and communities dependent on aid by giving them unearned benefits that are not sustainable or by creating wealth that is not shared by the majority of people. Furthermore, the benefits disappear when the aid program ends because the local government is unable to continue the support.
Instead, we suggest that this kind of philanthropy should be considered a sort of investment in public goods and services. The goal should

The 'Flaws' with Women in Leadership
Posted: 01/26/2011 12:00:00 AM EST | 17
Recently I had the privilege of being a panelist at a local university that exclusively enrolls women. Among a full complement of course offerings in various disciplines, the college of business offers a Masters in Organizational Leadership. It is an outstanding program run by a dynamic and successful business woman. The students range in age and experience from recently matriculated undergraduates to seasoned professionals coming...

Endorse your views Doug! And you have articulated them very well.
Leadership is a part of the human being. I believe Leadership come from passion. If you are working - or have a cause - you're passionate about, leadership will come. Leadership exhibits itself in many forms - by example - by enthusiasm (action) - by addressing (public speaking). It is NOT gender-based. I've known some bosses who are totally inadequate leaders, yet they think they're wonderful leaders. However, if you're not open to new suggestions, critiques, challenges, etc. you're not going to grow. And you have to have good self-esteem to undergo these opportunities. Growth in the individual is an important part of Leadership. Pay attention to those around you and learn from others.
refreshing....and I love the endorsement of authenticity.
Your article is right on and it's refreshing to know these topics are being discussed with young woman as they enter the workforce. Any successful female executive knows that leadership is a genderless skill. Women are often also gifted with intuition and nurturing skills honed at home that turn into a very useful tool as a leader and a manager in the office. Sadly, many young women are fearful of exposing those vulnerabilities and compensate by shielding themselves with cold façade. My advice: embrace and use your gift – the world's best leaders have a genuine human side. Others will follow.
THanks Doug, just yesterday I was speaking to a group of leaders about building a respectful worikplace culture and delivering a synergistic message, it is about knowing who you are from a values perspective and having the courage to be who your are as a leader aligned with your values. To respect "diversity" means to encourage individuality and creativity. A big issue for women in leadership is the mixed messages women get about manifesting power, for me the frame is always abou how to manifest power respectfully, which requires relationship based leadership, and it is hard to have relationship without autheticity.
Love the focus on environment - spot on. Have always emphasized what I call the "care factor" and it takes a lot of 'i give a care' to be a great leader in an organization (or spouse in a marriage, to use your superb analogy). Thanks for influencing and moving our mindset on this forward!
Very thoughtful, indeed. I believe everyone, women and men, bring their capabilities to a system. This is not to generalize things but as pointed out earlier, women have always been associated with a nurturing tendency and men with their streak to take everything in their stride to get a task done. However, with the growth and development of societies, there has been a gradual shift in personalities and the stereotypes are constantly changing. Having said all this, a soft and caring woman or man can be a great leader, depending upon the situation. Similarly, leadership in times of time crunch would seek a person who would get things rolling, and whether its a man or woman doing that, is irrelevant!
I completely agree with Doug. Leaders believe in what they are doing and are passionate about their work. There is nothing different for women ! Leadership is not about level and position but also about your ability to influence. Really appreciate your insightful comment on leadership at large !! Thanks
Great analogy on Leadership = Marriage and Management = Dating. Beautifully explained and certainly a great way to motivate people to become effective leaders regardless of gender. I really enjoyed your fresh ideas. Thank you, Doug!
Great discussion. It is not PC to stereotype and generalize about gender or race, and for every stereotype there are plenty of exceptions. But I think the literature is compelling that there are biological and/or social reasons that account for women, in general, being more personal, emotional and nuturing, and men, in general, being less so. To me the goal of a leader should be about becoming a more "whole" leader. Left-brain automatons, whatever their gender, should develop at least some appreciation for and ability to interact in a more humane and emotional way. The inverse is also true. The best managers know how to adapt their styles to the variety of colleagues they encounter. A part of adapting and adopting new practices is a rigorous and vigorous pursuit of self-awareness. We are all capable of being much more than our hard-wiring and predispositions. But it is not easy or comfortable work.
Doug thank you for an answer to the "non-existant" question of "what women or any minority should bring to the table"! Leadership is everything you have. It is or it itsn't. You made it quite clear with your statement "Leaders who present themselves all the time in full context of who they are, will never have a moment of revealing those previously unknown "flaws". Great Article......
Thanks so much for the article - I thoroughly enjoyed it and agree that the key is being honest with yourself and having integrity. While I believe what you have written to be true; there is also a part of me that must acknowledge women are in fact viewed differently as leaders and we still have a ways to go in the male dominated business world. If you look at the wage levels of female executives, they are still less than that of men...It would certainly be wonderful if there were more who thought like you do!
While I agree that authenticity is the number one trait of great leaders this article "rounds up the usual suspects" when it comes to inherent gender differences. It also fails to speak to the need for change and teh work involved in compensating for our weaknesses whether those weaknesses are at heart intellectual, emotional or gender tendencies.
In my experience women do tend, for example, to take business issues too personally on average and have more difficulty than men with the idea that its "just business."
Coaching such a woman to be a bit more detached from her emotions does not mean compromising her integrity as either a woman or a female leader.
On the other hand men often compartmentalize too much and end up insensitive to people issues. Has all the work that has been done over the last 50 years to address this imbalance been ill founded and wasted? Does this article mean to imply that working on biases is anathemetic to authenticity? I've known more than a few authentic jerks in business.

Hard to argue with the noble sentiments of this article but there is a large and growing literature claiming that women could be better leaders than men because of their relationship building and nurturing skills. So, I think we need to address the question of what it takes to be a leader. In business, as opposed to the public sector, there is a need for competitiveness. In fact, it can be argued that business culture is very male oriented because it is so competitive. Thus, it seems to me, executives need to have a mix of male competitiveness and female relationship building skills. The article here seems to me to miss out or skip over these issues.
Bravo! and Cudos! to you, Doug. You are absolutely correct in sharing with those young ladies that it matters not what type of personality you possess, but which job or industry best suits your personality. So many young people seek "position" to attain status or high remuneration, and in the process they are miserable at what they do, and eventually move from job to job. My philosophy all along has been to enjoy what I do every day. If I don't, I am the sole reason for that failure. Thank you for a fresh, and respectful point of view!

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here on Monday adjourned to tomorrow, McDonald's Corporation's application for leave to appeal against the Court of Appeal's findings over the usage of the prefix 'Mc', to enable McDonald's to rephrase the questions on a point of law.
Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Arifin Zakaria, who led the panel with Federal Court Judges Datuk Wira Mohd Ghazali Mohd Yusoff and Datuk James Foong, ordered counsel S. F. Wong, who is representing McDonald's, to rephrase the questions based on the findings of the Court of Appeal.
Arifin said the court was not very clear on the questions raised by Wong, and this was supported by counsel Sri Dev Nair who appeared for McCurry Restaurant (KL) Sdn Bhd, a local Indian food outlet, that some of the questions posed in (Wong's) submission on Monday, had not been raised in the Court of Appeal judgment.
Fast food chain McDonald's filed a leave application to appeal after it lost its exclusivity to the usage of the prefix 'Mc' when the Court of Appeal on April 29, allowed McCurry Restaurant, off Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, to use 'Mc' in its business signage.
The Court of Appeal ruled that it was wrong to assume that McDonald's had a monopoly in the use of the prefix 'Mc' on a signage or in the conduct of business, and the irresistible inference to be drawn from the totality of the evidence is that McCurry's Restaurant signboard would not result in reasonable persons associating McCurry Restaurant with the McDonald's mark.
In reversing the High Court's decision, it also held that McCurry's Restaurant signboard was different from McDonald's and none of the food items on the menu card served at McCurry Restaurant carried the prefix 'Mc', unlike the items of food available at McDonald's.
On Sept 7, 2006, the Kuala Lumpur High Court held that McDonald's, a household name among children, had the exclusive right to the prefix 'Mc' and ordered McCurry Restaurant to pay damages to McDonald's Corporation, the proprietor of the McDonald's chain of restaurants.
McDonald's, in its statement of claim, said it created the prefix 'Mc' as a trademark and that with the usage of the prefix 'Mc', together with the word 'Curry', McCurry Restaurant, which was formerly known as Restoran Penang Curry House (KL) Sdn Bhd, had misrepresented itself as being associated with McDonald's business.
McCurry Restaurant, in its defence, contended that McDonald's could not claim monopoly or exclusive rights to the use of the prefix 'Mc', as that prefix was extensively used around the world as surnames, particularly by people of Scottish origin. - Bernama

I attempted to emphasize the importance of love amid the current trend of legalized gay marriage. I'm not anonymous, so anyone can go to Facebook to verify my support of my gay friends' new marriage intentions.
Marriage is a much older religious institution than a governmental one, and marriage is younger than love. Tell me ThinkAtheist, does law matter more than love?
Welcome. I anticipate many interesting discussions.

The legislature consists of 70 representatives and 42 senators. Each member of the House represents roughly 25,980 residents of New Mexico. Each member of the Senate represents roughly 43,300 residents.
As of May 2015, New Mexico is one of 19 states that is under divided government and is therefore not one of the state government trifectas.
Article IV of the New Mexico Constitution establishes when the Legislature is to be in session. Section 5 of Article IV states that the Legislature is to convene its annual regular session on the third Tuesday of January. In odd-numbered years, the Legislature is to be in session for no longer than sixty days. In even-numbered years, the Legislature is to be in session for no longer than thirty days. In even-numbered years, the Legislature is limited to dealing with budgetary matters, bills that deal with issues raised by special messages of the Governor of New Mexico, and bills vetoed in the previous session by the Governor.
Section 6 of Article IV allows the Governor of New Mexico to call special sessions of the Legislature. Section 6 also allows the Legislature to meet in special session when three-fifths of each house petition the Governor with a request for a special session. Special sessions are not to exceed thirty days in length.

In 2014, the Legislature will be in session from January 21 through February 20.
- See also: Dates of 2013 state legislative sessions
In 2013, the Legislature was in session from January 15 to March 16.
Major issues
Major issues in the 2013 legislative session included education, solvency of the state's public retirement system, tax cuts for state businesses, and tougher anti-DWI laws.[1]
- See also: Dates of 2012 state legislative sessions
In 2012, the Legislature was in session from January 17 through February 16.
Major issues
In their 30-day session the legislature considered drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, voter identification, business income tax, ethics reform, and defining homeowner rights in foreclosure proceedings.[2]
Gov. Susana Martinez (R) watched as the state legislature ended its session by rejecting a bill that would have repealed the law allowing drivers licenses to be issued to people without Social Security numbers. It was the third time she has tried to undo the law. The bill was initially passed by the House but defeated in the Senate. The Senate instead passed a measure shortening how long the licenses are valid and imposing harsher penalties on those committing fraud.[3]
In 2011, the Legislature was in session from January 18 through March 19. [4] As of late July, a special session will be scheduled for early September, however, a date has not been confirmed by Governor Susana Martinez. As of late July, issues on the agenda include:[5]
- Fireworks use and sale ban in very dry years
- A measure giving in-state companies an advantage when bidding for contracts
- A ban on issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants
The 45 calendar days that the New Mexico Legislature was in session during 2011 is tied with Utah, Wyoming, and Arkansas for the shortest legislative session in the country.[6]
In 2010, the Legislature was in regular session from January 19 to February 18. Additionally, the Senate convened a special session from March 1 to March 4.[7]
Ethics and transparency
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. New Mexico was given a grade of C in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[8]
The New Mexico Senate is the upper house of the New Mexico State Legislature. There are 42 members of the Senate. Each member represents an average of 49,028 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[9] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 43,311.[10] All 42 seats are up for election every four years, and the next election will be in 2008.
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the New Mexico State Senate from 1992-2013.
House of Representatives
The New Mexico House of Representatives is the lower house of the New Mexico State Legislature. There are 70 members of the House. Each member represents an average of 29,417 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[11] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 25,986.[12]
|As of May 2015
|Democratic Party
|Republican Party
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the New Mexico State House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
New Mexico State Senate: During every year from 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the New Mexico State Senate. The New Mexico State Senate is 1 of 16 state senates that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
New Mexico State House of Representatives: During every year from 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the New Mexico State House of Representatives. The New Mexico State House of Representatives is one of 18 state Houses that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of New Mexico, the New Mexico State Senate and the New Mexico House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
SQLI and partisanship
The chart below depicts the partisanship of the New Mexico state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. New Mexico experienced two Democratic trifectas during the years of the study, from 1992-1994 and from 2003-2010. The state finished in the bottom-10 during every year of the study. Its worst ranking, finishing 50th, occurred from 1999-2000, during a divided government. Its best ranking, finishing 41st, occurred in 2008, during a Democratic trifecta.
- See also: Redistricting in New Mexico
The New Mexico Legislature is responsible for redistricting. In 2011, it formed an 18-member interim redistricting committee to make recommendations for the actual redistricting process in the Legislature.
2010 census
New Mexico received its local census data on March 15, 2011. The state grew 13.2 percent from 2000 to 2010, with notable growth in its most populous cities; Albuquerque grew by 21.7 percent, Las Cruces grew by 31.4 percent, Rio Rancho grew by 69.1 percent, Santa Fe grew by 9.2 percent, and Roswell grew by 6.8 percent.[13]
At the time of redistricting, Democrats controlled the Legislature while the Governor, Susana Martinez was a Republican. The interim committee reviewed eight House maps and nine Senate maps before the special redistricting session of the Legislature began on September 6, 2011. On September 21, the Senate passed a map on party lines, with the House following the next day. Gov. Martinez vetoed the maps on October 7, leaving a court to resolve the process. By the time new maps were passed, $8 million had been spent.[14]

I labeled this as speculation because it's not really even a rumor at this juncture.
Word on the street [or is it the internet? I can't recall] is that the Padres are interested in a veteran third baseman and might be interested in someone like Aurilia. The talk mentioned AA catching prospect George Kottaras as the 'bait' they'd be willing to deal in such a trade.

The other thing I learned was that while the AT is a great tool, it's not as good as an experienced operator with a dyno.
After spending a lot of time tweaking the maps with the AT, I then put the Breva 1100 on the dyno and the bloke took it one step further and the difference although minor was noticeable - even to my inept riding abilities.
So like all tools it's just that, a tool. Don't be fooled by the Dynojet hype into blindly believing that because it puts a heap of numbers up on a computer screen it is giving the only map that can operate the engine at peak performance. It sounds like your bloke might be on the right wavelength to get the best result from your install. I am really interested to see what the end result is.
What I have found the AT absolutely the ducks nuts for is compensating for varying riding conditions. Particularly altitude and temperature, and although very difficult to be sure I reckon it also helps with differing fuel "quality".
Oh and as well as that, and it turned my Breva1100 from a mild mannered over priced tractor into a fire breathing Italian beauty
Cheers, Mike
Don't just look at it - Ride the bloody thing!

|Kenseth starting to feel like Cup contender again
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 10 April 2011 06:40
The 2003 Sprint Cup champion snapped a two-year, 76-race winless streak with a dominating run at Texas on Saturday night. It was his first win since opening 2009 with consecutive victories at Daytona and California.
Kenseth led 169 of 334 laps at the 1 1/2-mile, high-banked Texas Motor Speedway. His three Roush Fenway teammates also finished high. Carl Edwards was third, Greg Biffle fourth and polesitter David Ragan seventh.
Kenseth says the win is a big relief and gives him a lot of confidence.
The victory pushed Kenseth up six spots to third in season points behind Edwards and Kyle Busch.

Google snaps up Waze to add to mapping service
Wednesday - 6/12/2013, 4:50pm EDT
AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Google is buying online mapping service Waze in a $1.03 billion deal that keeps a potentially valuable tool away from its rivals while allowing it to gain technology that could improve the accuracy and usefulness of its own popular navigation system.
The acquisition announced Tuesday ends several months of speculation as Waze flirted with potential buyers interested in its rapidly growing service. Waze blends elements of a social network into its maps to produce more precise directions and more reliable information about local traffic conditions.
Google Inc. is believed to have trumped two of its fiercest foes, Facebook Inc. and Apple Inc., in the bidding for Waze, which is based in Israel but also maintains a Palo Alto, Calif., office near all three of the Silicon Valley giants.
"We evaluated many options and believe Google is the best partner," Waze CEO Noam Bardin wrote in a Tuesday blog post.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but The Associated Press confirmed the sale price with a person familiar with the negotiations. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, was not authorized to discuss the matter. Google isn't expected to disclose the price until it discusses the transaction in a formal regulatory filing.
Waze ranks as the fourth most expensive acquisition among the more than 240 deals that Google has completed in its nearly 15-year history. The only bigger purchases are Motorola Mobility Holdings for $12.4 billion last year, DoubleClick for $3.2 billion in 2008 and YouTube for $1.76 billion in 2006.
The price underscores the increasing importance of digital maps as people frequently check navigation services on their smartphones and tablet computers to help steer them in the right direction. The reliance on mobile maps creates more opportunities to show money-making ads, particularly those from local merchants. Google can also link the navigation systems to other applications to help generate more revenue.
Forrester Research analyst Julie Ask expects maps to become a main gateway on mobile devices, much like Internet search engines have been on personal computers for the past decade. "A growing percentage of time will be spent discovering, accessing and engaging content within maps," Ask predicted.
Google is the leader in the field, but both Apple and Facebook would like a bigger piece of the market.
Those ambitions are likely a key reason Google scooped up Waze, said University of Notre Dame management professor Brian Proffitt, who specializes in technology issues. "If Facebook had gotten Waze, they clearly would do something in the mobile market with it," Proffitt said. "Getting Waze is like a billion-dollar remedy to a potential headache for Google."
Apple also has been trying to improve the quality of its maps since the debut of its own navigation system last year. The maps, which replaced Google's technology as the built-in app to get directions on the iPhone and iPad, misplaced landmarks and misguided users, prompting a public apology from Apple CEO Tim Cook, along with vow to get better.
In a blog post, Google said the Waze deal had already closed. The deal didn't require government approval before it could be completed because of Waze's relatively small size. Although Waze doesn't disclose revenue, it only has about 100 employees.
But Waze has been gaining a foothold in the digital mapping market. Waze says nearly 50 million drivers in 190 countries use its mapping app to avoid traffic jams and find the fastest way to their jobs and other destinations. The service figures out the most efficient routes by drawing upon real-time information shared by about 70,000 members who help edit the maps and even provide other helpful tips, such as where to find the best gasoline prices.
In an interview during an April technology conference presented by All Things D, Waze's Bardin described his service as "the only reasonable competition" to Google in mobile maps.
Even though Google already has assumed ownership of Waze, government regulators could still review the deal to assess its effects on the mapping market.
None of Google's previous acquisitions have been blocked by regulators, although a few underwent reviews that lasted nine to 12 months.
Most of the previous regulatory inquiries have centered on Google's dominance in Internet search -- a service closely linked to maps -- and online advertising.
For now, Google will allow Waze to operate independently and maintain its main offices in Israel. Google, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., is taking the same tack with Motorola Mobility, which operates autonomously in Illinois.

Congress leader Rita Bahuguna Joshi on Monday said that action taken by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) against former Delhi Law Minster Somnath Bharti was correct as the behavior showed by the minister was extremely shameful, vulgar and unparliamentarily.
"Somnath Bharti was the law minister at that time and the way he behaved with those women was very shameful," said Joshi.
"His language was so vulgar and unparliamentarily. So, the notice sent by the NHRC against him is right in every way," she said.
The NHRC today directed the Delhi Police to take action against Bharti for leading a midnight raid at the residence of African nationals in New Delhi's Khirki Extension.
Activist-lawyer Shehzad Poonawala had petitioned against AAP leader Bharti in connection with the case.
A judicial probe had already indicted former Delhi law minister for his action.

Based on previous responses we anticipated this repair to be easy, however, it was a little more challenging than expected. The method of repair was easy enough, just would have been better if there had been more wire to pull out to connect to the new bake element. It took two of us to fish for the wires back inside the stove with a needle-nose pliers after removing the element. One had to hold the wire with the pliers while it took the other to attach it to the new element with second pair of pliers as there was no room for using fingers. Retrieving and attaching the second wire to the element was even more challenging because now the half-attached element was in the way. Disappointed and not sure why the element burned out in the first place on a 4year old appliance.

I've made a key improvement to my BizzySpinner control form my last post. It now starts and stop smoothly instead of abruptly. This is quite visually attractive. But it was somewhat non-trivial to do.
In my first example, I had a single simple animation that was either running or stopped. The animation behavior is now like this:
I tried to do this all in XAML but it proved quite complex to handle in in that language. This was complicated as there are two key dependency properties to deal with that leads to several states: The Spin property controls the actually spinning state. And the IsEnabled property inherited from UIElement. Both must work correctly together.
This gave me two significant problems:
So, I simply used C# code to do this. This approach was much simpler. It was easy to implement the two cooperating state machines needed to implement all cases. The spinning state machine is shown to the right. It has four states and six transitions – not at all difficult to implement.
This state machine is implemented in the ControlSpinning() function on line 432 in BizzySpinner.xaml.cs.
The transitions caused by the SpinUp and SpinDown values are straight forward and implemented using a couple of switch statements
The transitions labeled Acceleration Complete and Deceleration Complete are more interesting: they are implemented using the Completed event on the DoubleAnimation using to spin the control.
For example when the spinner goes form the Not Spinning state to the Accelerating state, the code simply attaches a function to the animation's Completed event like this:
This is the code that causes the spinner to accelerate to its normal spinning rate. The key line is #7. When the spinner has finished accelerating the SpinContinuously member is called. It looks like this:
Note line 3 which disconnects the SpinContinuously from the animations Completed event. This is super important as we don't want this called again because the next state transition when the animation completes is a different one.
The other important state machine is the one that handles the IsEnabled and Spin dependency properties. This is what sends the SpinUp and SpinDown commands to the spinning state machine.
This is simpler than it looks: there are only four important transitions – the ones in green where the SpinUp and SpinDown commands are sent to the spinning state machine.
This is all handled easily in the IsEnabledChanged event handler like this:
The resulting animation is very pleasing – the control spins up and down smoothly. Its rotational rate can also be controlled dynamically.
You will need NUnit 2.5.3 (download) as I've added assertions. The code builds for C# 3.0 and .NET 3.5 using the client profile. As with the last post, the project is for the Visual Studio 2010 BETA which you can download for free..
Installing and building the project is easy: Just download and run the installer. It will put the project on your desktop. Note, it doesn't really 'install' anything – there are no shortcuts and it doesn't write to the registry. You can move the sample directory wherever you would like, or just delete it when you are done. No un-installing is needed. Also note that the contents are licensed with the Microsoft Public License.

1. Long distance clients: The new frontier for legal marketing.
Our society has recently hit an inflection point — and we are now entering the era of the long distance business relationship. What does this mean for legal marketers? Lots.
2. No cocktail parties necessary. Developing business in the age of social media.
Not every attorney is a charismatic networker, a wonderful speaker and a charming host. While those skills are still extremely valuable in developing business, they are less important in the new business landscape.
3. Legal marketing is like weight loss. Beware of hucksters.
Legal marketing success requires hard work and a long-term commitment that many people find difficult to muster. And whenever the stakes are high and success is elusive, the ground is fertile for hucksters. Weight loss and legal marketing share this. In both instances: buyer beware.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The May Fair
Stratton Street, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Mayfair
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
In London, the hotel world's majorest of major leagues, even the big chains know which way the wind is blowing — away from that fusty manor-house look, and toward something altogether more clean-lined and contemporary. Nobody's about to mistake the old May Fair for the Sanderson, but after a top-to-bottom £70m renovation, it's looking shockingly up-to-date.
It's plain they've learned some lessons from the new breed of design hotels: the May Fair Bar is stylish and modern, packing in a hip West End crowd. Quince, a modern European restaurant with Moroccan influences, forgoes the usual formality of five-star dining for a more casual shared-plate approach, while the Cigar Room, encased in stainless steel mesh that allows the space to breathe, offers a nicely curated selection of rare and fine hand-rolled cigars. Upstairs, the bedrooms are still oversized and as luxurious as they come, and now they're utterly modern too, slightly minimalist in muted earth tones. And of course they're packed with all the modern must-haves, from forty-inch Samsung Smart TVs to high-end bath products.
A 201-seat private screening room is a rarity, to be sure, but the May Fair's spa is its crown jewel. It's vaguely Asian in design (as are all spas these days) and completely over-the-top — the best place for a mud bath after a long day of splashing cash all over the West End. Or all over the hotel — the May Fair's own Palm Beach Casino is among the biggest in town, and its atmosphere of old-world glamour is an inducement to high-stakes playing.

What I liked:
The location, the ambiance in the lobby and bar. The breakfast was real good. Our "family" room wasd a nice size, though the bathroom was narrow and good only for one person at one time. Beautiful shower and bathroom marble, had a nice warm towel rack. The Management was nice enough to provide me with a free breakfast since we were not able to use any of the Tablet perks, ie: Spa or late check in. Everybody was friendly.
What the hotel could do better:
Could have been more helpful when trying to make a dinner reservation using the hotel room phone and we asked the Concierge for help and they were not able to help connect or dial for us but we still got charged for the outcoming phone bill upon check out. The gal did remove the charges off the bill though.

What I liked:
The hotel was more than I expected. The public spaces were clean, stylish, elegant and energetic without being in your face. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We ordered room service a couple times, and the food was delicious, and delivered to our room within 15-20 minutes...unheard of! The beds and linens were sumptuous, just like home.
What the hotel could do better:
I came with my family. We stayed at the hotel for two nights upon arrival in London. Those two nights were flawless. We were put in a spacious and comfortable "family room" that was quiet and private. After spending a week away from London, we returned and spent our last night at the hotel prior to returning home to the US. This last stay was less than stellar. We were put in a much smaller room on the second floor directly across from the elevator and directly on top of the nightclub/lounge-bar. With a looming wake-up time of 6:00 a.m. to get our departing flight, we wanted nothing more than to have a good night's sleep. The noise from the nightclub below was so loud that we were unable to sleep. I called down to the manager and requested that we be changed to another, quieter room. The night manager was helpful but only after I stressed to him that his only option was to find us a new room. He held out on a different, quieter, more spacious family room (like the room we had on our first visit) and said he would have to split us up into two different rooms. Miraculously, after some motivation, he found us a different room. He sent a man up with the new key, but there was little effort to me and my 3 children move all our bags to the new room at midnight. I would not avoid this hotel from this experience, but I would suggest avoiding the second floor. Interestingly enough I am sure the logic behind our original room placement was because we are a family and the management anticipated that "we" would be making the noise. Ironically, we are very quiet people, and it was the hotel that made the noise.

Tatad: RH law is genocide
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Genocide is any act that prevents birth such as Republic Act (RA) No. 10354, also known as the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (RH Law), former Senator Francisco Tatad told the Supreme Court Tuesday.
In his opening remark for the oral argument before the high court, he said RH law redefines the purpose of marriage.
He said it denies the basic right of married couple to procreate on their own free will.
"They must practice birth control or else suffer the consequences. That is not freedom of choice at all. That is not protecting the family as foundation of the nation," Tatad said.
"That is not equally protecting the right of the mother and right of the unborn and this is simply putting the family under state supervision and control…Have we become a democracy only to submit to state supervision and control," Tatad said.
Tatad is the first among the petitioners to speak before the high court.
Implementation of the RH Law has been stopped by the high court last March l9 and will last for 120 days. The 120 days will lapse on July 16.
Lawyer Maria Concepcion Noche is currently arguing before the high court.

In AB v. CD [2014] EWCA Civ 229, the Court of Appeal for England and Wales addressed an issue with surprisingly little precedent. It held that a claimant seeking an injunction to prevent an alleged wrongful termination of a contract was entitled to argue that damages could not be an adequate remedy because recoverable damages were limited or excluded under the contract.
The Claimant AB instituted arbitration proceeding against CD, and also sought an interim injunction before Stuart-Smith J. of the English High Court Queen's Bench Division under Section 44 of the Arbitration Act 1996 requiring CD to continue to perform his obligations under the contract and preventing termination of a licence of certain intellectual property rights pending the conclusion of the Arbitration proceedings. The Claimant argued in support of its application for injunctive relief that damages would not be an adequate remedy at law since the contract excluded liability for a number of types of loss and otherwise capped the total damages recoverable.
Judge Stuart-Smith concluded that AB's application should be refused because CD did have an adequate remedy in damages. He proceeded nevertheless to consider whether, if he had reached the opposite conclusion, the balance of convenience would have favored the grant of an injunction. He held that it would, relying on the decision in Ericsson AB v. EADS Defence and Security Systems Ltd. [2009] EWHC 2598 (TCC). However, he believed that there was a tension between that decision and other authority and therefore gave AB permission to appeal.
The Court of Appeal first noted that it is axiomatic that an injunction will not be granted if damages would be an adequate remedy for the wrong. But how does that apply in cases of an alleged breach of contract where the contract contains a provision limiting the recoverable damages to below what might otherwise have been awarded as a matter of general law? The court then applied the logic in Bath v. Mowlem, [2004] EWCA Civ 115, to accept the appellant's argument that an injunction should be granted where damages as limited under the contract at hand could not be considered an adequate remedy barring that relief. The Court began by holding that the primary commercial expectation in any contract must be that the parties will perform their obligations. A clause which restricts the entitlement to recover damages for breach is a secondary obligation that cannot be treated as a licence to breach or an agreement to excuse the primary obligation to perform. Injunctive relief, at least where not expressly excluded by the terms of the agreement, is a remedy available to the court to give effect to commercial expectations where it is a just result that agreed obligations should continue to be binding on the parties, whether for an interim period or the term of the contract.
However, the Court also held that the party applying for an interim injunction would still have to show that if the threatened breach occurs there is (at least) a substantial risk that he will suffer loss that would otherwise be recoverable, but he will (or at least may) be prevented from recovering in full, or at all, by the limitation or exclusion in question. If he does, then the claimant will indeed have established that his remedy in damages may not be adequate. But that only opens the door to the exercise of the court's discretion; and the fact that the restriction in question was agreed may, depending on the circumstances of the case, be a relevant consideration—as may the scale of any shortfall and the degree of risk of it occurring.
This conclusion may disappoint some who would argue that the commercial expectations of the parties were set by the entire package of rights and obligations in the agreement, including any limitation or exclusion of liability, even if that barrier might be effective to block a claim for loss of profits that would otherwise accrue to a party if termination is unjustified. That is simply part of the bargain that the parties struck when executing the agreement, and it would not be unjust to consider the agreed scope of damages when determining whether there is an adequate remedy available.
Ultimately, the Court of Appeal felt that the justice of the case required an injunction lest otherwise a party could potentially breach a contract with impunity and without effective consequences. It is, therefore important for contracting parties to keep in mind that typical limitation of liability clauses may not prevent injunctive relief. As Lord Justice Laws succinctly put it: 'Where a party to a contract stipulates that if he breaches his obligations his liability will be limited or the damages he must pay will be capped, that is a circumstance which in justice tends to favour the grant of an injunction to prohibit the breach in the first place.'

Simply the best
By Blown away
from Toronto, Ontario
I only purchase the best for myself. I had 2 other 'fancy' straighteners and yet it took me 1 hour to straighten my hair. Pass over pass was too much. Cramps in my hands, forearms hurting, and nothing was pleasurable before I met my T3. I timed myself and I barely have ever given 5 stars but I am. ONE PASS! Very course thick strands of hair on my head yet thin out from a B12 deficiency. Anywho, I was done in one pass and 20 min.!!! My forearms did not hurt, hands did not cramp. I was staring in the mirror wondering uhhh, what do I do now because I was done! This incredible item was very lightweight, heated up so quickly on the highest setting. I did not have to squeeze hard for the plates to touch so that all my hair was straigthened. I am still in awe so, apologies if there are typos in this review. One of the best items I have purchased in my 44 years. Highly recommended! Woo Hoo!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Joy Formidable's live show can't match studio sound
The Joy Formidable delivered a blistering set at Summerfest last July Fourth. But something's changed since that hot summer night: The Welsh alternative rock trio's studio ambitions and accomplishments have outgrown its live capabilities.
The band returned to Milwaukee Tuesday to perform at a surprisingly spacious Turner Hall Ballroom. (Perhaps the Tuesday date turned people off? Or maybe the band's played the market too many times recently?) For Tuesday's 90-minute set, it had new material to share from its bold January album, "Wolf's Law." »Read Full Article(6)

Very long queue to get in to the Moulin Rouge, though the wait was pleasant enough and well managed. Our table was at the back of the café and seats placed so that we faced other customers, away from the stage, so that there was a lot of uncomfortable neck-twisting to get a half-decent view. The show itself was enchanting, with sumptuous settings and the kind of glamour you would hope for from this type of performance. High quality variety acts punctuated the scenes and the iconic can-can routine proved a delight. All this, with the inclusive half-bottle of champagne, made it a memorable success.

Everything we could have wished for was here - and then some. We had such a fun time. The actors (singers, dancers, waiters) lived their parts to perfection as well as working hard to make sure everything was just right. We loved it!!

02.07.05 - By Tony Nobbs: Hometown hero Danny Green (19-2, 18 KOs) will start a prohibitive favourite when he faces American James Crawford (40-10-2, 17 KOs) over ten heats at the Challenge Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, on Sunday..
While a lot of fans had been hoping for a stronger opponent to gauge exactly where the 32 year old stands, this is probably a useful first fight back for the two time WBC 168 lb title challenger after the disappointing defeat to Markus Beyer in March.
Crawford, 36, stopped six times in going 7-7 and 2 NC since suffering an eight round TKO to Sven Ottke for the IBF belt in March 2001, isnt expected by most to hear the final bell against the bigger punching Australian, it is a chance for Green to experiment some of the techniques he has picked up since linking with Thai based Cuban trainer Ismael Salas, and also allowing he and the 1996 WBA Trainer of the Year to get some work together in real combat against an opponent he should convincingly beat before again making a run to the title. After being disqualified in the first Beyer challenge in 2003, Green became WBC Interim champ by devastating Eric Lucas in December of that year. In his subsequent three bouts he hasnt been the same, struggling with the Perth summer time humidity and Kiwi Sean Sullivan, getting off the deck against Argentinas Omar Gonzales to score a cut eye win and then being outboxed by Beyer. Two fights back, in March, Crawford lost a unanimous decision over twelve rounds to Lucas, being floored five times.
Also in action on the undercard, IBF # 4 jnr welter Noefel Ben Rabah, WBO # 2 jnr middle Daniel Dawson, and popular no frills Victorian super middleweight Daniel Porky Lovett.

Why isn't Nintendo Land helping to sell more Wii U systems like Wii Sports did?
DarthBadger posted...
I imagine most people bought a Wii for the Wii, and not the included game. By that logic, a lot of people aren't buying a Wii U because they don't want one.
But its not a Wii Sports equivalent. Wii Sports was fun to play, NintendoLand is not fun unless you keep a couple of people in your closet for multiplayer or you are a die hard Nintendo fan.
"you cant call it piracy if they wont sell it to you in the first place." -Fallenswords
FCs, PSN and Gamertag in profile
I liked nintendo land, but i can understand why many people thing wii sports is the gold standard.
The purpose of my life is to play games. Its the reason I even work.
Honestly I believe it's Nintendo's Marketing Campaign. I can say that Nintendo Land is as good as Wii Sports, possibly better. But Nintendo just isn't advertising the game. Even in stores in town with Wii U Demo builds set up. You can't play a demo for Nintendo Land, there is only a demo for New Super Mario Bros. U and Rayman Legends. Nothing else.
Wanting to become a wolf to end all of my life's problems.
People who agree with me: 37, Comment about it if you agree. ~*Ancient Status*~
Its a demo disc with no online.
You belong on the blizz D3 forums, it was built for people like you. Like how some barns are built specifically to contain filthy animals.
Because its not really that great of a game?
I mean seriously did you really expect friends and family to be playing every day/other day? Or rushing to get home just to play it?
It is what it is.....it's fun for that moment, buuuut it's come and gone......you could maybe stretch it to a couple of parties or so before the novelty wears off.
I think because its not as pick up and play friendly as wii sports was. My mom attempted and played wii tennis and bowling. It's a sport and requires a quick swing or holding a button. Nintendoland is just a collection mini video games that are more detailed and complex. It also doesn't have the more widespread appeal of having sports attached to it, to get non gamers involved in the party.
I Know a lot, but I don't know much.

Not sure if it works like that. It isn't like gamers are a collective people and decided "we don't want Nintendo". It is kind of Nintendo's ball to drop on this one. You need to keep customer and brand loyalty, it's theirs to lose.

False. Nintendo land is badass. If you didn't like it, there's something wrong with you, or you don't have any local friends to play with. It is a much better party game than Wii Sports.
Alundra is the best top-down Zelda game since Link to the Past.
Darksiders is the best 3D Zelda game since Ocarina of Time.
