As founder-chairman Subrata Roy cools his heels in Tihar jail, the once cash-rich Sahara Group is struggling to raise funds to bail him out.
With an embargo imposed on the sale of assets, and the bank accounts of the Sahara Group already frozen by capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the company has run out of conventional fundraising options. The group is now looking at garnering funds from well-wishers, friends and Sahara employees. Employees have, in fact, set out on a mission to raise around Rs 5,000 crore.
Abhijit Sarkar, head of Sahara Group's corporate communications division, told dna late Friday that a few employees and senior executives of the company were trying to raise funds "voluntarily", but denied that the group had issued any directive to this effect.
According to a PTI report, the money has been proposed to be collected in lieu of shares in Sahara's e-Multipurpose Society Ltd, which would be allotted to each contributing employee. The group has around 11 lakh employees and field workers.
Sahara India Group, which claims to be India's largest employer in the private sector, second only to the government-run Indian Railways, has business interests spanned over several sectors such as financial services, real estate, infrastructure, retail and hospitality, among others. In 2001, the group issued optionally fully convertible debentures (OFCDs) worth Rs 24,000 crore to 19.8 million investors.
Sahara is fighting a legal battle with Sebi over the issuance of a hybrid financial product, Optionally Fully Convertible Debentures (OFCDs), by the two group companies – Sahara India Real Estate Corporation Ltd (SIRECL) and Sahara Housing & Investment Corporation Ltd (SHICL).
Roy has been in jail for over three weeks now along with two company directors in a case filed by Sebi in the Supreme Court (SC) claiming Rs 24,500 crore the group raised by floating OFCDs in violation of regulatory norms.
The SC had sent Roy and two directors to jail on March 4, asking them to come up with a viable proposal for repayment of the money. In its latest ruling, the apex court has said that the trio could be released on bail only if the group deposits Rs 5,000 crore in cash and furnishes a bank guarantee of Rs 5,000 crore.
"If the court allows the group to sell assets, it will be a distress sale which would not fetch more than 20-25% of the real value of the asset," said a lawyer representing Sahara.
The lawyers believe that the bank guarantee of Rs 5,000 crore backed by assets takes at least three months. "So if we go for guarantee now, it will mean putting 100% cash. Therefore, the order implies that Rs 10,000 crore cash is wanted to secure release from jail, if the release is desired before three months," said the lawyer.

JVP's Rabbinical Council
The Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council has come together to speak out on behalf of justice for all peoples in the Middle East. A fast growing network of rabbis, cantors and rabbinical students, we support each other through bi-annual in-person gatherings, in our Mentorship and Support Program, and ongoing consultation. Since our founding in 2010, Rabbinical Council members' writing has been published in outlets such as Ha'aretz, The Forward, Huffington Post and the JTA. These and more can be found on our blog, www.PalestinianTalmud.com . We create ritual materials and alternative Jewish liturgies for JVP, and provide support for JVP members, chapters, and campaigns. Many individual members are available for speaking and training events.
The Council is co-chaired by Rabbis Brant Rosen and Laurie Zimmerman and is supported by JVP's Director of Campaigns, Rabbi Alissa Wise (pictured above.) Rabbi Brant Rosen is the Midwest Regional Director of the American Friends Service Committee. He previously served as Rabbi of Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston, IL for 17 years. Rabbi Laurie Zimmerman is the Rabbi of Congregation Shaarei Shamayim in Madison, Wisconsin and is developing Reframing Israel, a curriculum that helps children and teenagers develop critical thinking skills on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Please note that members of the JVP Rabbinical Council may not endorse or support every action, campaign, or statement made by JVP.
Read Rabbi Brian Walt's Yom Kippur sermon that mentions Jewish Voice for Peace.
"Another Jewish organization that has been active in regard to U.S. policy for many years is Jewish Voice for Peace. While J Street is an explicitly Zionist organization, Jewish Voice for Peace includes Zionists, non-Zionists and anti-Zionists, as well as many non-Jewish Americans. JVP advocates for peace achieved through justice and full equality for both Palestinians and Israelis. JVP seeks an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem; security and self-determination for Israelis and Palestinians; a just solution for Palestinian refugees based on principles established in international law; an end to violence against civilians; and peace and justice for all peoples of the Middle East. It is a strong and consistent voice calling for a U.S. policy that promotes democracy and human rights."

You're wasting all those opportunities to practice launching the racquet head/hitting on the rise etc.
I know what you mean!
I watched the video and tried to stay forward the next time I played. I think it's better, but I'm going to still work on it.
For the backhand slice, I agree about the positioning. I usually step to the side because I find it gives me more sidespin, but it does lose power sometimes.
Thanks for the comment!

Apparently, they take their cue from Monday's verdict
NGO seeks guidelines on rehabilitation
Larger issues are to be decided: Bench
New Delhi: A two-judge Bench of the Supreme Court, dealing with a public interest litigation petition since 2004, has referred the matter to Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan for being posted before a larger Bench. It has apparently taken note of a judgment by Justices A.K. Mathur and Markandey Katju, who on Monday said the judiciary must show restraint.
The Bench, consisting of Justices S. B. Sinha and H.S. Bedi, was hearing the PIL petition filed by a non-governmental organisation, Prajwala, seeking guidelines for rehabilitation of victims of immoral trafficking after "they are rescued from brothel homes." The court in 2004 issued notice to the Centre and the State governments and the matter was at an advanced stage of hearing.
When it was taken up on Tuesday, Justice Sinha told Solicitor-General G.E. Vahanvati, "In view of yesterday's [Monday's] developments which we came to know this morning," larger issues were to be decided in this case and hence "we are referring it to the CJI."
(Justices Mathur and Katju said: "… Judges are unjustifiably trying to perform executive or legislative functions. This is clearly unconstitutional.")
The petitioner submitted that in the country over 23 lakh women and children were trafficked in for commercial sexual exploitation. More than 25 per cent of them were children. Giving details of how poor women and children were lured into the trade on the promise of a better life in cities, the petitioner said, "After the initial rape and the consequent exploitation in slavery-like conditions, the victim starts believing that this is her fate."
The petitioner pointed out the problems faced by sex workers faced after they were rescued, and sought framing of a Victims Protection Protocol. There should be penal consequences for non-compliance by authorities and it should be made mandatory for the governments to incorporate guidelines on proper rehabilitation of sex workers. These would include putting in place a training-module to sensitise police, judiciary and government personnel involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of victims of trafficking.

Mong Lee Shang's Basil Seed Drink from Taiwan looks like frog
eggs on the can. At least it's "with honey" as the can proudly proclaims.
Bottle appearance:
Gee Bob - is this to get me back for all the fights and whining when we were kids? By the illustration on the can it looks like it's gonna have little chewy things in it, like Grass Jelly Drink. Oh yeah - I can't imagine a basil flavored soda either.
Soda appearance:
I've been saying the gross pops are easier to write about. I'm going to have a litiary field day with this one. It looks exactly like frog eggs. Each seed seems to be coated with a fuzz - just like food that has started to get moldy in your fish tank. I'm praying that's what it's suppose to look like. But please look at the photos for yourself:

Some will go to parades today. Some to memorials.
Bob Coburn will do something else for Veterans Day. Something that takes him back 62 years to the invasion of Saipan and what he saw from his gunboat that day.
"I'll tell you one thing," he says. "Before that, I used to look at the sunset when we were at sea. It was beautiful. And the stars at night were beautiful. Everything was beautiful. You go through a couple of those landings, and everything is ugly."
Orders to take the beach came just before 6 a.m. Two hours later, the 18-year-old Navy gunner's mate found himself at the front of an enormous line of craft carrying the first 8,000 Marines into battle.
Bullets pinged off his gunboat, a converted landing craft that could fire 500 rockets in 4 1/2 seconds. More whizzed past his ears as he stood on the bow at his 40-millimeter gun mount.
"Nothing was in front of us except the beach and Japanese," he says. "Our purpose was to lead the first wave in, lay down armament and get out."
The tide, however, was too low. Coburn's gunboat couldn't get close enough to launch its rockets over the beach. And the landing craft couldn't land, so the Marines had to wade in with little cover.
"I tell you, it was mass murder," says Coburn, 81, of Fullerton. "It was like a shooting gallery, but the Marines didn't stop. They just kept going. Those Marines won my respect that day."
Coburn felt lucky he didn't have to wade ashore. But over the next 10 months, the young gunner's mate would see five more beach invasions.
Each time from the bow of the first boat in.LARGE, SLOW TARGETS
You don't hear much about these guys who call themselves the Amphibious Elders.
They didn't fly planes, drive tanks or throw grenades at the Battle of the Bulge. They were sailors, but you don't even hear much about their ships - troop and supply transports called APAs, LCTs, LCIs and LSTs.
"Large, Slow Target," jokes one of about 20 men who meet monthly for equal parts fellowship, therapy and lunch.
It actually stood for "Landing Ship, Tank" - a 328-foot ship that could cross the ocean, open its bow and unload men and supplies - including tanks - for attack on any shore.
"No other ship ever built could do that," says Bob "Stretch" Brandt, who formed this group of veterans six years ago.
Brandt, 84, of Mission Viejo was blown off the bridge of LST 309 during the invasion of Salerno, Italy. He picked up body parts off Normandy, France, on D-Day. And he withstood 83 straight nights of German bombing in Tunisia.

Sentencing for a Milwaukee man convicted of participating in a dogfighting ring has been moved to 1:30 p.m. Friday.
Thomas S. Zollicoffer pleaded guilty Monday to training pit bulls to fight and arranging their bouts. The 25-year-old faces a maximum penalty of 4 1/2 years in prison and a $20,000 fine when he's sentenced Friday.
Prosecutors say Zollicoffer hosted dog fights, and sometimes killed dogs by hanging them from his basement beams.
He was one of at least 13 people arrested in April, as part of what authorities described as a countywide dogfighting ring. Investigators recovered 22 living dogs, as well as the fresh corpse of a bloody dog in one suspect's backyard.
A message left with Zollicoffer's defense attorney was not immediately returned. He was originally scheduled for sentencing Wednesday but it was rescheduled to Friday, according to online court records.

Mar 6, 2014While the game makes great use of the 3DS overall, the one area that is worth mentioning is that it lacks any 3D at all, which and it did surprise me, but the game still looks great and the dual screens work very well having the persistent map at the bottom.
Feb 18, 2014Retro City Rampage: DX is the best open world game to hit a portable system since GTA: Chinatown Wars on the DS.
Feb 18, 2014Taken on its own merits, though, free from comparison to the earlier versions, it's hard to see Retro City Rampage DX as anything less than a deranged masterpiece.
Feb 17, 2014Retro City Rampage DX is a short and simple game, but the ingenious and inordinate use of 80s references plus the updates of the portable version make for a unique and innovative experience.
Mar 4, 2014An absolutely delightful and action-packed gem, loaded with references to 1980s pop culture and made even more playable on a handheld, Retro City Rampage: DX brings all that to the 3DS. Players who already have the other versions should reconsider this purchase, though, as it adds little to those.
Apr 13, 2014It's cruelly authentic in places, but the bombastic immediacy, improved balance and reverence for the source material are a great fit for 3DS. [Apr 2014, p.90]
Mar 7, 2014Retro City Rampage is a weak 2D version of GTA, with a lot of difficult and repetitive missions. Its pixel art is impersonal, and the story has no sense at all(which is different from nonsense). Music and controls are the best part of the game, but they aren't good enough to separate the game from mediocrity.

Feb 26, 2014I've never had any console besides a 3dsxl and Steam doesn't work on my computer. Therefore, Retro City Rampage had been unplayable for me forI've never had any console besides a 3dsxl and Steam doesn't work on my computer. Therefore, Retro City Rampage had been unplayable for me for a couple of years. When the news came that it would arrive on 3ds I couldn't contain my excitement. I was so excited that I downloaded it at 6:00 am the day it came out. And never once have I regretted the purchase. Retro City Rampage DX is an absolute masterpiece. It's basically GTA in the 90's. Now that may not sound the best but let me finish. First, I'm going to start with the visuals. This game is mastered perfectly for a "retro" feel. There are 13 different radio stations so you can change the music while playing! Plus, you can change the colors to look like any 80's or 90's gaming system. Next, I'll talk about gameplay. The open world city is HUGE! There are over 20 different vehicles to drive and you can customize Player, your avatar, with various hats and glasses. So once you beat the main game, open world wil have you on the run from the cops for years to come. The missions are full of charm, character, and humor! There are 62 missions in all that you can enjoy. Some are WAY easier that others. The first few missions are insanely easy but around level 25 the difficulty spikes. The missions will have you thinking, trying not to get blown up by the cops and, well raging. I mean raging to the point where you'll throw your system out the window! Sometimes the story doesn't make any sense but that's why this is called a parody game. Sometimes you'll be laughing out loud at the games references. Other times you'll be thinking : really? In terms of extras the game is loaded! here's a list of some of them: there are 3 mini games : bit trip runner (WARNING: this one's a rager, epic meal time, and super meat boy, there are shops where you can change your cars color and equip it with guns and missile launchers, various stores that sell various things, countless items for you to find throughout the city, warp pipes to different zones, a casino (you can actually gamble), arcade challenges (fun mini-missions) and much, much more! In conclusion, this game is, in all aspects, perfect and essential for any 3ds owners. This was $10 well spent. GRAPHICS: 10/10. SOUNDTRACK: 10/10. GAMEPLAY: 10/10 EXTRAS/BONUSES/SIDE CONTENT :10/10.

Apr 13, 2014Take a trip to the past with Retro City Rampage DX, an eShop title released by VBLANK Entertainment inc. I'm honestly not sure how exactly toTake a trip to the past with Retro City Rampage DX, an eShop title released by VBLANK Entertainment inc. I'm honestly not sure how exactly to categorize this game based off of it's gameplay. However, after playing the game to what I consider to be it's full extent, I can say it is something that people will have to experience to fully understand. Although Retro City Rampage has already been released on other consoles, the 3DS received the DX version which has a lot of updated technical and visual enhancements. So if you have played it once, I would highly consider playing it again for an updated experience.
Welcome to Retro City Rampage DX, you take on the role of….Player…(yep) a greaser looking hooligan who is never up to any good. One day Player is approached by the Jester, a psychotic maniac who is always looking for the next big score. After a heist goes wrong, Player is transported to a distant future via a porta-potty style TARDIS.(Linked for those non-whovian readers) From there is he discovered by Doc Choc (who may or may not drive a DeLorean) who believes Player is the time traveling "hero" and offers to fix Player's now broken time travel device. Your job is to help the Good Doctor (see what I did there?) find all the pieces to repair the time travel booth. Gamers from an older generation might recognize most if not all of the parts needed to repair the device. Explore Theftropolis city and find the necessary repair items, and meet a few oddly familiar characters along the way. I would say something heroic like "defeat the evil" and what-not but honestly, you're the bad guy technically so have fun!
When I first picked up Retro City Rampage DX I was kind of thrown off by the style of gameplay it portrays. Now this might sound odd so stay with me. It's an 8-bit "open world" action genre style game with tons of killing, side quests, and…killing. In my opinion its kind of like somebody took Grand Theft Auto and smashed it into an NES cartridge, and to be honest it's absolutely beautiful. The handling of the characters, vehicles, and weapons is very reminiscent of older games and uses it perfectly to it's advantage. Roaming around the city is tons of fun and there is plenty to do aside from the main story mode.
Now of course a game with this many references must draw gameplay from other games right? Yup, totally. When it comes to large action scenarios where you are against tons of enemies the gameplay is very similar to the style of Smash TV, or Binding of Isaac for you younger gamers. Although Player may be outnumbered vastly he is by no means outgunned. Players can equip Player (what's up PLAYA!!) with a variety of weaponry from mini guns, rocket launchers, and even a guitar to take out the hoards of enemy troops. Although it may get repetitive to a certain extent I can't say that I grew bored with the style and actually enjoyed it a lot.
The story mode is fun, and it's honestly the best way for Players to familiarize themselves with Theftropolis. The campaign can be considered as rather lengthy, some might even say repetitive but that's up to you to decide. Plus with the fact that players can easily get distracted roaming around the map mowing down civilians and police units, it tends to be a lengthy campaign. Not only that but there are also side quests that include doing random task for the Theftropolis citizens. Although the game may start out really easy to some players the difficulty curve goes up really fast the further along you go. Although I was trying my hardest to beat the game quickly and enjoy it, I have to admit I died well over 70 times. To be honest certain missions are infuriating and I found myself putting the game down and walking away. Some players might enjoy the difficulty and some may find it to be too much to bear. The benefit of doing side quests and story mode is that there are tons of collectibles to be earn including haircuts, outfits and even character skins. (some might even be familiar to you)
One of the details I enjoyed the most was the fact that Retro City Rampage DX doesn't mind making a joke or two at their own expense and they shed some light on the video game industry as a whole. Players can also enter free roam mode which is honestly the best way to relieve some stress. I highly suggest stealing a car and driving down the side walk until your problems are washed away. For players that are looking for a quick pick up and play I suggest the Arcade challenges that are fast and challenging. Be careful though, the challenges tend to rather addicting. (You have been warned) I really enjoy a game that can also include some mindless fun and no objective style gameplay but still have the option to have an awesome storyline.
When I'm presented with a game like Retro City Rampage DX I usually don't care too much when it comes to graphics or art style. Let's be honest, its not very difficult for the average joe to make an 8-bit character and make a game out of it.… Expand

May 24, 2014If I had to summarise Retro City Rampage in one swift sentence, I'd say that it is a loving 8-bit homage to the original Grand Theft AutoIf I had to summarise Retro City Rampage in one swift sentence, I'd say that it is a loving 8-bit homage to the original Grand Theft Auto games. Now if that sounds like your cup of tea -- and let's face it, who's cup of tea isn't that? -- then you'll be in for hours of top quality run and gun, mission-based fun!
Just note that Retro City Rampage has a difficulty curve that can get a little steep at times, and it's laced with oodles of 1980's referenced, tongue-in-cheek humour. However, if you can look past these points, which I suppose could be construed by some as caveats, then Brian Provinciano's pocket-sized love letter to the decade that brought us shoulder pads and the discman is unlikely to disappoint.
However, I can't sign-off without making two final points. Firstly, this being the 3DS version, it's a little surprising to note that it doesn't support the systems trademark stereoscopic 3D functionality. That's a shame. And secondly, despite this 'DX' edition being billed by many as the difinitive version of the game, I personally preferred it on the Playstation Vita. Why? Well for one, it looks a little nicer, but more importantly, the Vita's second analogue stick offers the twin-stick shooting capabilities of the console versions - which often proves extremely welcome - especially when you're in a pickle and outnumbered by the fuzz!

Wyoming supplanted Alabama as the country's most conservative state in 2013, with the District of Columbia the most liberal area and Vermont the most liberal state, according to Gallup.
More people in the country are still more likely to self-identify as conservative than liberal, though the gap shrunk slightly from 2012. The "conservative advantage" — the percentage of residents self-identifying as conservative minus the percentage self-identifying as liberal in each state — was at 14.6 percentage points in 2013, down from 15.9 percentage points in 2012.
"There may have been more 'blue' states than 'red' states in 2013, but a clear majority of Americans are ideologically at the center or right of center," wrote Gallup's Art Swift. "How do Democrats continue to win elections if so few Americans identify themselves as liberal? The answer may lie with moderates, which, as a voting bloc, are solidly Democratic. If moderates begin voting with Republicans in the near or long-term future, there may indeed be a Republican revival on the national level."
Results for the poll are based on interviews from Jan. 2-Dec. 29, 2013, on the Gallup Daily tracking survey, with a random sample of 178,527 adults. The margin of error on the total sample is 1 percentage point.
Margins of error for individual states are no more than 6 percentage points; the margin of error for the District is 6 percentage points.
Top 10 conservative states:
1. Wyoming
2. Mississippi
3. Idaho
4. Utah
5. Montana
6. Arkansas
7. South Carolina
8. Oklahoma
9. Tennessee
10. Alabama

Megan Fox was all legs in her revealing red gown at the Transformers 2 premiere in Berlin yesterday.

Megan and Brian Austin Green have been rocky this past year, but still seem to spend a lot of time together when she's home in LA. The actress doesn't look too broken up about it and she has Shia to keep her company as they take their oversharing promotions tour around Europe.

There is nothing more to make a beautiful woman look ugly than an ungracious attitude and big mouth that shows off how misinformed and shallow she is. But in this movie this chick is just Shia's girlfriend as far as I am aware . I can't even remember her name. She's that important.

Re: Inverter for hot water tank
Another way to look at it:
A typical deep cycle battery can store about 1.800 kw-hr of energy or about 6100 BTUs. However, only 40% of this safely useable, so about 2440 BTUs.
Warming 10 gallons from 65-105F takes about 3300 BTUs.
Thus, each shower would flatten about 1 1/2 batteries. Different showers and different batteries change the calculation.
Batteries just don't store that much energy, not like liquid fuels (130,000 btus/gallon for diesel). Only a fraction of an ounce of fuel per charge cycle, the challenge of electric drive.

Reds fall 10-9 to Mets, get swept in four-game series
Jul 28, 2011, 6:12 PM EDT
Jason Bay hadn't doubled in 51 games before finally getting one when the Mets beat the Reds on Monday. He hit two more on Thursday, leading the Mets to a 10-9 victory that completed a four-game sweep in Cincinnati.
The Reds fell five games under .500 at 50-55 with the loss. They have the 19th-best record of the 30 teams in baseball. They four games worse than a Mets team that has already shed Francisco Rodriguez and Carlos Beltran. Yet, because they're in the NL Central, the Reds can't see themselves as sellers just yet.
Because while the Reds are in fourth place in the Central, they're just 6 1/2 games behind a Brewers team that has lost Rickie Weeks. The Cardinals, in second, just took a downgrade in center field that could prove terribly costly if Lance Berkman gets hurt again. The Pirates, in third, are the Pirates, in third.
The Reds do need to shake things up a bit, though. They already made one move this week, shipping Jonny Gomes to Washington and calling up former first-round pick Yonder Alonso. They could go further by trading Ramon Hernandez and bringing up top prospect Devon Mesoraco.
Unfortunately, there isn't much to do about the rotation besides hope for the best. The Reds entered spring training with perhaps the deepest rotation picture in baseball: Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, Homer Bailey, Travis Wood, Mike Leake, Sam LeCure and Matt Maloney. Who possibly could have guessed that Dontrelle Willis would be one of their five starters come July? Bailey entered the day as one of the team's two starters with a sub-4.00 ERA. Then he went and gave up nine runs to the Mets.
In any other division, the Reds would likely be dead in the water. In the NL Central, they pretty much have to attempt to stay in the race. On paper, they're still right there with the Brewers and Cardinals, and if they prove incapable of hanging with those teams, then Dusty Baker is going to have plenty to answer for at season's end.

Fire Dusty, the players need a motivator. A coach who knows baseball, who doesn't get outsmarted every game. The Milwaukee series before the All Star break, broke the camel's back. Let's put in the same closer, to lose THREE STRAIGHT IN A ROW. The players were dejected, now lack any confidence. A good manager teaches and shows his players how to be winners, not losers. Oh let's bunt with TWO strikes with one out, and runner on third! Not! OMG!

It wasn't Dusty's fault, blame the Metropolitan's bats! Even Jason Bay decided to show up today.
But honestly I watched the 1st 3 games at home, couldnt see the today's as it was a day game and I was working, but the Reds are terrible in the field. Official scorer gave Cincy fielders A LOT of leeway – their outfield straight up butchered plays, Votto Phillips and Cairo decided to join in and give these games to the Mets with errors and misplays.
- metalhead65 - Jul 29, 2011 at 1:14 AM
before this series they were one of the better defensive teams in the game,just goes to show that they have given up for the season and don't care anymore. that will happen when you have a manager who does not have a clue.before this series the starting pitching had been good but you could not tell because baker always and I do mean always leaves them in 1 inning to long.no matter who is on the mound it is always the same,gone 6 and and thrown 100 or more pitches? no problem get back out there and then watch as they walk the first guy then give up hits to the next 2 guys to bring him home and give up the lead. now he takes him out of the game.bad enough when he does it to cueto but when he leaves Arroyo out there when going 5 is a quality start for him it is just beyond stupid.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

- " I highly recommend Seoul Base Camp to young solo travelers spending time in Seoul. The hostel is in Hongdae, walking distance to a great area with bars & restaurants, and steps away from the Metro & the Han River. Many of the other hostel guests are also solo travelers so there are many opportunities to meet people to do things with. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seoul. "

- " I really enjoyed my stay here. So many awesome travelers stay here, so there is always someone to talk to. It's in a good location, being only a short walk from a major shopping mall, grocery store, restaurants, convenience stores and the subway. The staff is very friendly. They keep the place neat and orderly for the most part. I would definitely stay here again. "

Special combing drive ahead of Lok Sabha elections
A special combing drive to keep the law and order situation under control ahead of the April 10 Lok Sabha elections saw three men, all notorious lawbreakers, being arrested by the city police under provisions of the Kerala Anti-social Activities (Prevention) Act [KAAPA] on Thursday.
Shibu alias Pullukadu Shibu, for whom a KAAPA warrant was already issued by the District Collector, was nabbed by the Thumba police; Pradeep alias Patthu was caught by the Vanchiyoor police; and Prabulraj alias Prabulan was nabbed by the Peroorkada police. The drive was supervised by City Police Commissioner H. Venkatesh and Deputy Commissioner S. Ajeetha Begum, said an official release.
This, Mr. Venkatesh said, had taken the number of arrests under KAAPA to eight after the launch of combing drives in connection with the elections. The others who were earlier held under the Act were Prakash alias Maranam Prakash (Peroorkada), Richardson Gomez (Valiathura), Kakkottu Manoj (Mannanthala), Harilal alias Chakku, and Kulathil Satheeshan (both from Mannanthala).
Pullukadu Shibu, police said, was an accused in several theft, snatching, burglary, and attempt-to-murder cases, most of which were still under investigation in the Thumba police station limits. Detention orders under KAAPA were issued against his name in 2008 and 2010 and he had gone into hiding after the order in 2010.
He had surrendered before court in 2013. Released on bail in January this year, he had allegedly led a gang that forcibly tried to take money from one Sanoufer near Akkulam.
Patthu Pradeep, who was released in 2012 after being detained under KAAPA, has eight cases registered against him from 2009 onwards at the Vanchiyoor police station. Allegedly involved in an attempt to murder another known goon Renjith alias Chukran Renjith of Palkulangara, Pradeep had got wind of the police drive and was traced to a hideout on Thursday noon.
Prabulraj had begun his 'criminal activities' along with notorious criminal Kannadi Shaji and had 'migrated' to the gang of Kulathil Satheeshan after the death of Shaji. Known for brutally injuring his victims, his involvement, along with Satheeshan, in the attack of a person in January this year had made the police look at detaining him under KAAPA. Prabulraj has five cases registered against him at the Peroorkada station in 2013 alone.

Family home and garden of Sir Winston Churchill
Chartwell was the much-loved Churchill family home and the place from which Sir Winston drew inspiration from 1924 until the end of his life.
The rooms remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes evoking the career and wide-ranging interests of a great statesman, writer, painter and family man. Additionally, every winter we put on a new temporary exhibition to explore Churchill in more detail and draw items out of storage.
The hillside gardens reflect Sir Winston's love of the landscape and nature. They include the lakes he created, the kitchen garden and the Marycot, a playhouse designed for his youngest daughter Mary.
Beyond the gardens there is an expanse of woodland with looped trails, natural play areas and swings. There's den building, a Canadian camp and opportunities to stretch your legs.
Please note: Entry to the house is by timed ticket and these can be collected from the visitor welcome centre from 10am on days when the house is open.
Spring flowers at Chartwell
Be on the lookout for the rhododendron and azalea at Chartwell adding plenty of life and colour to the garden. The unique standing wisteria in the rose garden are also on the way out and are certain to catch the eye. Just wait that little bit longer to see the roses in all their glory and some tasty vegetables in the kitchen garden.
Death of a Hero
Visit our extended exhibition, open now until November 1, marking the 50th anniversary of the death of Sir Winston Churchill. See the display at Chartwell commemorating his passing, the funeral and his enduring legacy that still stands today and will do for future generations.
The 50th Anniversary June Lecture Series
Throughout June we will be holding a series of one off lectures as part of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the passing of Sir Winston Churchill. From theatre performances, talks on military campaigns and lectures on literature, each day uncovers a different aspect about the great man.
A Jock of all trades
Jock is working wonders at Chartwell. Only a kitten and already he has his own facebook page, his own line of goodies in the shop and he's made it on film.

One of the best ways to see Hong Kong is from Victoria Peak, which provides an amazing view of the city below and the South China Sea just beyond. Trams, walking paths and observation decks all provide different experiences from which to experience the vista, while the Peak Tower gives you a place to rest, dine and shop.
Take the tram
Over a century ago, people made it up the 1,286-foot-tall peak on sedan chairs carried by manual laborers, according to Frommer's. The Peak Tram started hauling travelers up the slope of the hill in 1888, and has since become one of the best ways to take in the city. The climb up the mountain is almost vertical, and may at times feel surreal as the tram slowly rises above the city's many skyscrapers. After 8 minutes, the tram reaches the Peak Tower at top of the hill and the harbor pulls into full view. While the steepness of the journey may be harrowing for some, the tram has never once been in an accident.
Go for a hike
If the tram seems too menacing, there is always the opportunity to walk along a series of roads to the peak. The trek is steep and exhausting, but eventually passes the Zoological & Botanical Gardens, a nice detour on the way to the top. Whether having walked or taken the tram, travelers can then take a stroll along a path that rings around the summit. Along the way is a lookout that provides a broad view of Victoria Harbour. Eventually, walkers will reach a tree-shade path that works its way back to the Peak Tower. If the walk is done in reverse, about 90 minutes before sunset, travelers will reach the lookout point just as the sun begins to sink, casting the city in brilliant light, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
Stand at the top
For unparalleled views, travelers can head into The Peak Tower, a modern building with a wok-shaped roof. The oddly-topped structure houses a market, restaurants, souvenir stores, a historical gallery and, above all, an observation deck. The vista is 360 degrees, providing views not just of the city and its harbor, but of the surrounding topography. Travelers may want to head to the observation deck, before making the trek down, stopping at a restaurant along the way.

I just returned from several days in Dallas where three generations of fabulous Texan women gave me a taste of how women with "ganas" (or drive) are on the move and beginning to flex their collective muscles as leaders and vital engines of economic growth. Here's a taste of female Southwest "stirrings" I witnessed.
Until Cambodian-born Thear Sy, who arrived in this country at age nine and is now a senior director with Accenture, invited me to speak at NAAAP's "Leadership Inspired by Women" conference of the Dallas/Fort Worth chapter, I had never heard of the National Association of Asian-American Professionals or its WIN (Women in NAAAP) network. Three major corporations, jcpenney, Accenture and Raytheon, sponsored the conference. What did I learn after spending a gorgeous Saturday in all-day training sessions with 140 Asian American women hungry to sharpen their leadership skills?
- Cultural differences among Americans of Japanese, Cambodian, Chinese, Hawaiian, East Indian, Viet Namese or Phillipine descent can be as distinct as those between U.S. Latinas of Cuban, Mexican, Spanish or Brazilian descent. The biggest mistake Caucasians make about Asian Americans is to assume they think alike and share similar cultural backgrounds.
- Asian Americans striving to achieve leadership positions in this country (both men and women) often feel they are pushing up against very similar cultural headwinds as those women still face in professional environments where white men are the leadership norm. "The general perception of Asian women in this country is that we are hard-working, smart and do really good work. But when it comes to leadership, a lot of people don't think we're up to the task. But of course we are," Sy told me.
- My primary message to the three generations Asian American women and their NAAAP "brothers" who were there to support the conference was the same I give when speaking to leadership audiences all over the country: Heterogeneous groups consistently outperform homogenous groups when solving complex problems. Our companies, our nation, the human family all need people who think differently around the decision-making tables.
Texas Women Ventures
At the NAAAP conference, I also met Valerie Freeman, CEO of Imprimis Staffing Solutions and one of the founders of the Texas Women Ventures fund. An equity fund that invests in women-led companies, TWV is focused on helping turbo-charge established businesses with strong track records and revenues of $7 to $70 million. But the high-achieving Texans who founded the fund in 2009 aren't simply loaning money, they're also providing high-level mentoring, networking opportunities and valuable connections to the next generation of women entrepreneurs.
And guess what's the icing on the cake. "Our investors are getting excellent returns," Freeman assured me. Hmmmm. Investing in successful, ambitious women these days may be a much smarter investment than taking your chances in the stock market with all those Fortune 500 companies with few, if any, women in their board rooms.
Dallas Women's Foundation
Whenever I travel, I try to search out and connect with local leaders who share my passion for lifting women and girls. That's why I was thrilled when Roslyn Dawson Thompson, just 60 days into her position as the new CEO of the Dallas Women's Foundation, made time to talk by phone with a perfect stranger visiting from Michigan.
What did I discover? That the DWF is one of the most richly-endowed women's funds in the world. And they aren't afraid to take on controversial issues. Their prime focus: women's leadership development and openly tackling the commercial sexual exploitation of girls, which they see as "a critical issue . . . with enormous consequences for girls in North Texas."
New Stirrings
My experiences on a short trip to Texas are just three examples of new stirrings I seen and feel as growing numbers of women throughout the world are learning to support and lift one another, flexing our muscles as leaders and vital engines of economic growth.

More Dead-Horse Flogging As the Bandwagon Trundles On
By Linda Kennedy
MAMMA MIA! is having children. A new generation of me-too musicals is on its way. There's a Monkees musical. A Barry Manilow musical. Somewhere, I fear, Simon le Bon, Nick Rhodes and any Taylors left are pondering upon "Rio", a musical featuring the songs of Duran Duran. All they need is a storyline.
Nick Rhodes: "How about a young girl desperate to escape small- town life?"
Simon le Bon (sings): "Look now, look all around, there's no sign of life. Bop bop bop, bop bop bop bop bop, this is planet Earth."
Nick: "Exactly. She needs to get away. How does she fund her trip?"
John Taylor (producing his Visa card): "The reflex, flex, flex, flex. Why don't you use it, try not to bruise it?"
Simon: "Isn't there a credit crunch?"
Nick: "Simon, it's a musical. It's a greatest hits album, with an implausible story. There are no financial realities."
Simon: "There are for us. How do we get Rio in?"
Nick: "Erm, our heroine stops in Brazil. She wants to go up the Amazon. See the wildlife."
John: "Union of the Snake works there. We've gone too long without a tune."
Nick: "She falls in love with a logger, who's ruining the rainforest. When he dumps her, she decides to expose what they're doing."
Simon: "Does she track the loggers? Hungry like the Wolf might work. 'Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found.' I could change it to 'he's lost and then found'. Or I could write some new material."
Nick and John, firmly: "No."
Simon: "Where's Girls on Film?"
Nick: "Our heroine could record the illegal logging on her mobile."
Simon sings: "There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back. Girls on Film, Two minutes later. Girls on film."
Nick, cutting him short: "Still no Rio, though. How about she puts her video on YouTube and it gets more

Israeli leader fires lead negotiator on Gaza truce
JERUSALEM Prime Minister Ehud Olmert dismissed Israel's top negotiator in Gaza truce talks for publicly criticizing his demand that Palestinian militants hand over a captured Israeli soldier before any deal is clinched, officials said Monday.
The move threatens to roil the talks just weeks before Olmert is succeeded by the hawkish Benjamin Netanyahu, who wants Gaza's Hamas rulers toppled and likely would take a tougher line in the Egyptian-brokered truce negotiations.
A truce deal has implications beyond cementing the informal Jan. 18 cease-fire that ended Israel's war on Hamas. Without it, there is little chance of advancing already troubled talks to reconcile feuding Palestinian factions.
Olmert abruptly announced last week that Israel would not reopen Gaza's long-blockaded borders – the main Israeli concession sought by Hamas – unless Hamas-affiliated militants first freed Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was seized in a June 2006 cross-border raid.
Amos Gilad, the fired negotiator, opposed linking the truce deal with Schalit and criticized Olmert's strategy in an interview last week with the Israeli newspaper Maariv. After Gilad refused to apologize, Olmert gave him the boot, aides said Monday.
"Due to the inappropriate public criticism leveled by Mr. Gilad, he cannot continue as the prime minister's envoy to any political negotiations," Olmert's office said in a statement.
Aides said the talks would not be affected. A longtime adviser to Olmert, Shalom Turgeman, will replace Gilad in the truce talks, while veteran negotiator Ofer Dekel will handle efforts to free Schalit, the aides said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks.
There was no immediate reaction from Gilad or Egypt.
Hamas shrugged off the development, with spokesman Fawzi Barhoum saying Israel "never intended to reach any agreement or closure on a truce or a prisoner exchange."
Hamas desperately wants Israel and Egypt to reopen Gaza's borders, which were sealed after the Islamic group's fighters violently seized control of the territory nearly two years ago. But it has rejected any linkage between a prisoner release and the truce negotiations.
In related news, Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader warned Palestinians in Gaza against accepting a truce with Israel in an audio message posted on extremist Web sites, an Internet monitoring service said.
Osama Bin Laden's deputy, the Egyptian-born Ayman Al-Zawahri, described the truce negotiations as "plots and conspiracies" to defeat the Palestinians after Israel's "aircraft and artillery" failed, according to a transcript provided by the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group.
Bin Laden issued his own audio message on Gaza last month, urging Muslims to launch a holy war against Israel. Al-Qaida holds little influence among Palestinians, but its Gaza-related postings are likely meant to harness Muslim anger elsewhere over the Israeli offensive.
The Israeli military launched the three-week assault on Hamas after years of Gaza militants firing rockets into southern Israel.
The sides declared separate cease-fires Jan. 18, but sporadic violence has persisted. Two rockets struck Israel on Monday and an Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a vehicle belonging to militants preparing an assault, the military said. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

Painted deep blue, the subterranean premises is little changed from when it was Onera, a haute-Greek that never quite caught on. Now the white tablecloths have been banished, the prices downscaled, and the room crowded with extra tables. No matter, the kitchen operates efficiently and the waitstaff hustles around in a convincing imitation of a football team. Among the meze, skip the pallid dips and go for the octopus and chickpea salad or the surprisingly good meatballs swarming an olive-dotted tomato sauce. The whole grilled branzino is the best deal on the menu. Here's hoping they don't raise the prices!

Ready for life's next step, eight young men and women complete Harford's Future Link Program
"You don't know what you can do or can't do unless you ask," Ronald Costa said from the front of the Bel Air Reckord Armory stage Friday morning.
"You don't know what you can do or can't do unless you ask," Ronald Costa said from the front of the Bel Air Reckord Armory stage Friday morning.
The 2015 All Harford Boys Lacrosse team presented by The Aegis.
After the 2015 Maryland General Assembly session drew to a close, the Harford County Delegation's chairman remarked: "Our new delegates did a fantastic job and really stepped up to the plate in getting legislation through. We worked really well as a team."
Ordinarily, a projection that Harford County government is projected to save nearly $1 million in energy costs thanks to the building of a new solar electric farm in Perryman might not be cause for major celebration.
On the eve of the close of the Maryland General Assembly session 25 years ago, it was clear legislation that would have allowed regulated slot machine gambling in the clubhouses of fraternal organizations was dead for the year.
Maryland generally is not considered a populous state. The U.S. Census Bureau says just shy of 6 million people live in the state. That puts Maryland at about 1.8 percent of the U.S. total of more than 320 million people.
As the Bel Air town government and the Maryland State Highway Administration officials review what to do with the results of a recent pedestrian safety survey conducted for the county seat, serious consideration should be given to finding a way to deal with through traffic on Main Street.
The U.S. Army's only formation that combats chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive threats conducted a change of command ceremony on Aberdeen Proving Ground May 20.
The Harford County Bar Foundation raised $9,000 at its first "Run for the Roses: A Kentucky Derby Party" May 2 at MaGerk's Pub & Grill in Bel Air.
A proposed 2-cent decrease in the real property tax rate, from 68 cents per $100 of valuation to 66 cents, is part of next year's budget for Aberdeen, but that's not enough for one resident.
Veterans organizations in Harford County's three municipalities will host ceremonies Monday for Memorial Day, to give the community the opportunity to honor Americans who have died during the nation's wars.
As his chief at the time, Bel Air Town Commissioner Edward Hopkins recalled when in 2012 when he had to discipline a group of young Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company firefighters, among them Adam Siemek, for inappropriate use of social media.

UCL English
The varied syllabus of the UCL English Department, with its shared emphasis on traditional literary skills and modern thought, has been one of the most enduring and highly regarded in Britain. UCL English students follow undergraduate programmes leading to BA English or BA Modern Language Plus degrees, and MA programmes in Shakespeare in History, English Linguistics or Issues in Modern Culture. The Department also offers MPhil/PhD supervision in a wide range of topics.
The student of English at UCL benefits immensely from his
or her interaction with a faculty of exceptional quality and
the unique cultural fabric of London. More >
Graduate students from the Department have an excellent record
of securing full-time posts in British institutions of higher education. More >
