Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Single's Day entice the e-shopper with fantastic offers and record bumper sales
In just a few hours till lunchtime on November 11, 2013, shoppers in China clicked their way to a new record in e-sales in one day. It was Single's Day (11.11) — China's equivalent to Valentine's Day. Welcoming them in the virtual realm were retailers and e-commerce companies with endless promos and deep discounts. It also helped that China declares it a national holiday.
The turnover was humongous. By 1.04 p.m., Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce group, reported $3.1 billion in sales. By midnight, the sales figure doubled to $5.7 billion — proof that the Chinese have taken to online shopping in a way that'll make China the largest market globally for e-commerce. "Crazy," wrote the People's Daily on microblog Weibo . Bottles of fiery Maotai liquor sold for 1 Renminbi (Rmb) in designated minutes (10-10:01 a.m. in one offer), Nokia Lumia phones, sneakers and women's clothing flew off the virtual shelves. And to think just 31 per cent of the households have broadband internet, and 21 per cent mobile broadband, according to CLSA.
Cyber Monday
This one-day affair with e-shopping began as Cyber Monday in the U.S., when Shop.org analysed a noticeable spurt in Internet sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend in 2005, realised that orders came from workplace computers and named it Cyber Monday. It marked the beginning of Christmas shopping, and e-tailers jumped on the bandwagon with discounts, incentives, savings options, free shipping — and watched the upsurge. Sales doubled to $1.2 billion by 2011, despite a week's wait for delivery close to Christmas, despite discounts through the holiday season. When broadband connections grew, e-buying sprinted; the Cyber Monday concept crossed the border, spreading its wings across the Atlantic.
Smartphones brought in mobile ads that entice us to click-order goods, do comparison-shopping, and buy stuff on-the-go. Mobile apps help us look up products — 'hey, I'm getting steeper bargains here! Never mind, it's already cheaper online than in brick-and-mortar stores.' Major retailers jumped online, using their websites as marketing tools for in-house bargains, even as they promoted online sales through physical stores. "Cyber Monday is a whole week for us, check out our deals for 2013 when you get back to work," said Amazon.com. "I browse, order my brand online and collect it offline," said Sumana, a Cyber Monday shopper. "I get redeemable e-mail coupons and QR codes online for offline shopping." Financial consultant Kannan calls it "mystery shopping." "You don't know till midnight what items are on sale. They are typically e-stuff — computers, laptops, mobiles, cameras."
Black Friday
The real thrill of shopping, however, is in snatching a Black Friday bargain, he said. In an eagerly awaited reduction sale ritual, stores in the U.S. throw open their doors at the break of dawn on the day after Thanksgiving, with a promise of mega deals. I once joined the long line outside a Denver shop at midnight, hoping to pick up inexpensive clothes. The gate opened at 4 a.m., the line collapsed and a tsunami of shoppers swept me in. Screaming, buffeting gale-force women shoppers pushed me from aisle to aisle as they plucked clothes/gadgets off the stands and in half-an-hour edged me to the pavement! "The shelves were empty anyway and the check-out lines were long," my companion consoled me.
So that is Black Friday, I told Sandip Shah, Co-Founder/MD, ShopYourWorld. It's a police code name for the traffic nightmare caused by football fans pouring into Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Friday and stepping out to shop, he said. "It could be a book-keeping term — losses in red, profits in black." The mark-downs are real, he said. "Black Friday is for stock clearance, profit is not the motive." Since Black Friday shopping turned a tad violent at times, e-tailers initiated Cyber Black Friday sales, which stretch to Cyber Monday."
Indian context
With internet-user numbers (Juxt figures) touching 250 million, where is India in this? Indian shopaholics are aware of Black Friday, said Sandip. Some ask relatives in the U.S. to buy on Amazon. "Last year, Google ran an Online Shopping Festival in India. It ran for just a day (12-12-2012), and the site traffic increased by 75 per cent, sales multiplied to three times the normal amount. Many Indian e-tailers plan to throw open a Black Friday sale, giving a chance to the expanding customer base to shop online. ShopYourWorld's Black Friday sales were phenomenal last year, he bragged. "It went to ten times that of daily sales! Our servers crashed with the response!"
Aren't the New Year, Aadi, Akshaya Tritiya sales our own Black Fridays? "The post-Diwali clearance is the closest we can get to a Black Friday-type of shopping event," said Kashyap Vadapalli, CMO & Head–New Business, Pepperfry.com. After Diwali, retailers/merchants/marketplaces get together to "re-ignite" sales. Marketplaces benefit from this since merchants put up offers on e-marketplaces where consumers are already present. Banks and internet-traffic-driving companies work with e-commerce portals to create this kind of an event."
So, is it online or offline? It depends on gift choices, price, delivery options and safety. Says Sandip, "Whether your cousin is waiting in the wee hours for the Minnesota shop to open or fighting the internet speed to clinch the best deal online, every shopper's dream-of-a-day is just around the corner!"

"We are especially proud of the fact that the AARR is uniquely positioned as a 'safe space' where representatives of virtually all major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can confer freely and frankly with their colleagues from funding and regulatory agencies," said Carrillo. "At the Roundtable, we are able to let down existing barriers and address shared obstacles through mutual recognition of the immense urgency of the issues confronting us."
Carrillo writes that the need to create new multi-national partnerships is "critical," since no single entity or country "has the capability, resources, or knowledge to solve or mitigate the disease." Issues for which the Alzheimer's Association is actively seeking new collaborative partners, she says, include the expansion of "very large genetic, ethnically, and culturally diverse populations" for multi-national studies, and the "crushing need" for new computer analytical methods for ongoing studies.

Heather Douglas
University of Tennessee, USA
Academic Year 2010-11
Explanations, Predictions, and Weight of Evidence Analysis: Comparing Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches
Heather E. Douglas works on science and public policy, and understanding the implications of the relationship between science and public policy for philosophy of science. While her recent work has focused on the role of values in scientific reasoning (Science, Policy, and the Value-Free Ideal, University of Pittsburgh Press 2009), her project at the Center will focus on how to weigh complex (i.e. multi-disciplinary and often divergent) sets of evidence central to policy-making, a project instigated by colleagues from the Society for Risk Analysis. Despite the importance of assessing where the "weight of evidence" lies, it remains obscure how to do this. Her work for the year will be to develop an explanatory approach to the problem and to compare it with other possible approaches, in both theory and practice. She gratefully thanks the National Science Foundation for providing the funding (Grant #1026999) for the project.
She also has an abiding interest in the history of philosophy of science in the 20th century, and how the movement of scientific philosophy became the discipline of philosophy of science.
Heather has a bachelor's degree in physics and philosophy from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science from the University of Pittsburgh (1998). She is currently an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tennessee. She also sits on the governing board for the Philosophy of Science Association and the Section L committee for AAAS.
In addition to mulling over the science/policy interface, she enjoys playing with her daughter, savoring her husband's excellent cooking, walking her dog, and digging in the garden. Heather does not claim to be a virtuoso, but she has admitted that she can play Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on harmonica.
May 2011
Heather has had a busy and enjoyable year at the Center, and has made progress in thinking about the weight of evidence problem, on which she has given four talks this spring (including at AAAS and the Science, Knowledge and Democracy conference at the University of South Carolina), and on which she will give two more this summer (at SPSP in Exeter and at the University of Bielefeld). She thanks both the National Science Foundation for funding the year and the Center for being such a vibrant community in which to pursue the project. And she is looking forward to being a visiting professor at HPS at Pitt in the fall!
May 2012
Heather had a great time as an visiting professor in HPS at Pitt last fall, and she is equally enjoying her new job as Waterloo Chair of Science and Society at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario. She has had a busy first term, with talks at UT Dallas, at AAAS in Vancouver, and at the NAS in D.C. She is also thrilled that a paper about weighing evidence is finally forthcoming, "Weighing Complex Evidence in a Democratic Society," in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal, this summer.
2014 Update
I organized two workshops, one last June as part of SPSP's annual meeting on Science, Policy, Values: Exploring the Nexus (http://www.philosophy-science-practice.org/en/events/spsp-2013-workshop/) and another upcoming one on Science-Policy Interfaces comparing the US, UK, and Canada (https://uwaterloo.ca/science-technology-society/conferences/science-policy-interface-international-comparisons-workshop).
I also published several articles, including:
"Pure Science and the Problem of Progress," Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0039368114000132
"The Moral Terrain of Science," Erkenntnis, http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10670-013-9538-0

CD reader important for ripping?

Posted November 6, 2012 at 12:25AM
Having ripped the occasional track/album over the years I am about to start putting many more CD's onto my computer now I can play back through a decent outboard DAC (Music Fidelity V-DAC 2). My CD reader is a TDK DVDRW880N which I think is about 7 or more years old. My question is will a different i.e. newer CD reader make any difference to the quality of the digital files created. Speed isn't very important to me as I tend to do this type of work as a background task. I am using iTunes to catalogue and playback these CD's.

If CD reader is in full working order, I don't think it would make any difference. However as it is about 7 years old it's probably time for a new one anyway.

Ponchartrain Landing Marina and RV Park: NOLA's waterfront RV Park
A very convenient place to stay in your RV. Close enough to the French Quarter but far enough away to relax after the hustle and bustle of touristing.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The grounds well kept. The sites are spaced far enough apart for some privacy.
We stayed here the first time in NOLA and we returned here after our quick jaunt home. And we would love to stay here again if in the area.
Waterfront sites with views of the canal and the yacht repair ship yards. The pool and hot tub looked nice. The barbecue restaurant was a bit disappointing.

The Blake Hotel: Comfortable, great location, and nice staff
The Blake hotel was very nice and comfortable. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The room had a nice view of the square and was a great size. The room had 2 queen size beds that were nice and fluffy and very comfortable. The bathroom was your standard bathtub, sink, and toilet. The TV was a nice size and new. In the lobby they have an internet area (I don't know if you have to pay). There's a restaurant/café in the lobby area and next door there is a coffee shop. I really couldn't tell you anything I did not like with this hotel. It is a great stay and is a short walk to the French Quarter. During our stay (on a Wednesday) They were having the Music in the Square event which was a lot of fun, there were a lot of people but the music was awesome!

Inn the Quarter Reservatios - St. Philip St Duplex
Inn the Quarter is a company that rents out a number of properties in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Most are large studios, cabins, suites, townhomes of duplexes, but some are simple room rentals. Inn the Quarter is a reservation service, they do not own the properties, so the list of options could change occasionally.
We rented a duplex on St. Philip Street in 2011 for a bachelor party. This is a two story, two bed, two bath lodging option with hardwood floors and beautiful 13 foot ceilings downstairs. The lower floor has a small kitchenette with dining room table, a salon.sitting area/living room with antique furniture, and a master suite with a huge king bed and private bath. From the front kitchenette, there is a narrow spiral staircase leading to the cramped upstairs loft. This area has three regular twin beds, a hidden roll-away bed, and air mattress and a small bathroom. Up here the ceiling is very low, so be careful at night when the lights are off, or you will hit your head. There are two tiny TVs with cable, free wi-fi, air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave.
The cost was $350 a night for this location (but will vary by season), and it sleeps up to six people, averaging under $60 a person. The location is prime, just a block from Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar on Bourbon Street. This house has just one reserved parking space, so don't bring too many cars. Also, this is about 20 feet away from Matassa's grocery store.
Contact Inn the Quarter to see what properties are available.

Queen and crescent hotel: I was lucky to find this one!
When you arrive on short notice in New Orleans during festivals (Mardi Gras, French Quarter festival. . ) be prepared to pay a lot for a hotel room, or stay far from the city!
I had booked a nearby hotel, but I arrived one day late and had to look for new accommodation. It was an "adventure": the guys from the first hotel said sorry, but phoned around and at one point they told me to go to the Queen and Crescent, meet Mr XYZ at that hotel, but not the main entrance, a side door; I was welcomed in a dark room where telexes (Yes like in the seventies!) were crackling frenetically, guys in white shirts, their sleeves held high with armbands were sitting behind writing machines. . . ; Mr XYZ solved my problem, found a room I had to pay immediately (credit card) without knowing if in fact these guys worked for the hotel. Five minutes later when I arrived at the front desk, all was settled, I had a room for 5 days. . . etc. . .
This funny adventure is the only really memorable thing I had in this hotel; the room was all right, clean, small, with very old fashioned furniture, but OK for me. Breakfasts a bit simple, but I have no big requirements.
So, as I was on company money, I cannot complain. . . and the good thing is that I was two blocks from the French Quarter, which is invaluable!
Finally, I had a satisfying stay there, and I always prefer the small hotels and brands rather than the big ones which are also very present in the area, but so less personal! But I admit that I would have less booking-rebooking problems with these ones!

Quality Inn & Suites Maison St. Charles: Just out of the CBD
We had a Suite that was in an older part of the property with a closed up fire place in both rooms, high ceilings and an old feel that I liked. Buffet breakfast was served everyday near a sociable court yard. The pool was a bit small but was a nice escape for a hour a day. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Charles Steet trolley can pick you up right outside of the hotel for a quick lift into the city or if your relatively fit it's an easy walk to the city or the convention center. I would stay here again.

The Villa Convento: great family run hotel
My wife and I have stayed several times at a small family run hotel called the Villa Convento. It is on Ursaline St. in a great location. Far enough away from the noise but close enough to walk to everything. The rates are really reasonable particularly for a balcony room. Many pleasant evenings sitting on the balcony sipping wine watching the world go by. The family is very friendly and accommodating. There is a fabulous bakery across the street and Irene's is around the corner. If you want local charm come here, if you want the Hilton, go to the Hilton. Just writing about this makes me want to go again.

I stayed at the Queen and Crescent for a week while in town for a conference. The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, and the hotel was quiet and safe. The hotel is located just outside the French Quarter and a five minute walk to Harrah's. It was very affordable and safe. The staff was very attentive andI would definitely stay here again.
Only issued encountered, my room was cold and my colleagues room was warm. The thermostat didn't regulate very well.

Saint Ann - Marie Antoinette Hotel: Worst Hotel Ever
We visit this hotel for the essence festival weekend. When we arrived to the hotel the room that was reserved for us was awful, terrible, unsuitable. The Television was broken 18 century tv the Air conditioner was leaking water, no microwave, broken ice machine, the swimming pool was the swamp. I highly would not recommend this hotel to absoultly no one please don't do it. I must say Loyd the night manager was accomodating to our needs however the hotel itself was quite awful scale of 1-10 ---0.

Saint Ann - Marie Antoinette Hotel: DON'T DO IT
Extra fees added upon check in - "amenities" fee and "energy" fee. First room had a flooded bathroom. Second room - I got my music CD's stolen from the room, probably by the cleaning lady. Three days later I had fraud on my MasterCard used there. This place is bad news. DON'T DO IT!

Saint Ann - Marie Antoinette Hotel: don't waste your money
first, i reserved a room with 2 doubles and got one king. told they are full. ok, it's saturday night, i understand. promised a roll out bed, never delivered. i was later told they couldn't do anything because they had me in their computer as reserving a king. even though, i had a copy of the email showing a 2 double bed reservation. never got to see a manager-"he's out right now."
second, i only rode the elevator once because i saw it close and not move a few times with bewildered people on it.
last, the place is filthy and run down. mold in the shower, unknown stains on the ceiling, wall outlets pulling away from the wall, and peeling wallpaper. oh yeah, no remote for the tv. ha, ha, ha!
the location is good, but it's a dump. i read bad reviews before we stayed, but tried it anyway. lesson learned. spend an extra 20 bucks and stay at a decent place. i like character in a hotel, but this place is just beat up and dirty. so,great place to stay if you don't mind not getting the room you reserved, dealing with unhelpful staff, a possessed elevator, and have had all your shots because the place is a filthy.

St Louis Hotel: Good Location
We chose this hotel becuase it had a good location for the price and even though I new better "you only get what you pay for" applys. We called to ensure we would have a King size bed before we made the reservations (I am slightly taller than average). Well, we arrived early and waited for check in time and when I finally got to the desk (there were several people in front of me with complaints) I was checked in and given key. I went to check the room and found out it was a very small queen size or large double size bed and the room itself was only a few feet bigger than the bed. I went back to the desk and asked what happened to our King Room, and we were told "all the rooms are the same and there was never a guqrantee of larger bed", I got my wife out of the car and she went to the desk and told them exactly who she had talked to and that the lady on the phone specifically told her we would have king size bed. The desk clerk told us she would try and to check back in a few hours. We did and were given another room, despite the fact that they told us all the rooms were the same this one was much bigger and nicer and did have king size room. We regretted this room later when we found out the courtyard was used both nights for very loud teenage wedding parties, and several kids stayed in the room next to ours screaming and wrestling all night, literally until 7 in the morning, both nights. We ended up checking out and going to one of our favorite hotels that cost a little more. Oh, we had checked for the menu of the resturant in the hotel and went to eat there only to find that even though the signs were still up and advertisements put in rooms the resturant had closed for Katrina and never reopened. They hadn't even bothered to take the menus or ads out of the rooms after 2+ years! It is still advertise the resturant on their web site this very minute.
Good location relevant to Bourbon St and rest of Quarter

If you are interested in seeing the plantation and prefer to avoid the tour bus crowds, consider staying the night. We arrived in the evening, spent the night and were able to wake up early and walk the beautiful grounds all by ourselves.

Bayou Segnette State Park Campground: Bayou Segnette SP Campground
Have you ever camped out in the swamp? Well, here is your chance!
It is a good place to stay for those of you on a road trip wanting to visit New Orleans. It's about a 30 minute drive from the French Quarter and provides a very direct experience of the louisiana swamplands.
Be prepared for many insects.
Otherwise the campground has very cozy tent/RV sites. The sites have a lot of privacy due to the thick vegetation.
I visited during the month of July, and surprisingly the heat was more bearable at the campsite than the city - the thick vegetation and the wet swamp create a natural AC.
What better way to spend the night after a chrocodile swamp tour - then to sleep in the swamp! well - not really - it's surrounded by it.

Latest Canadian commercial seal hunt Stories
GUELPH, Canada, March 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Canada's Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has increased the total allowable catch (TAC) for harp seals in a year when the population is already challenged by a lethal habitat shortage.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

My father was an Ahmadi serving the Pakistan Air Force
On October 14, 62-year-old Mr Latif Alam Butt, an Ahmadi retired Pakistan Air Force (PAF) serviceman was gunned down at Kamra Air base, Attock District. He was shot due to his religious beliefs. My father was also an Ahmadi and a retired PAF serviceman, who also happened to die at the age of 62. But my father was not killed, only marginalised, for his religious beliefs. But he and Mr Butt share more than meets the eye. In 1965, when Mr Butt was only 13-years-old, my parents, newly married at the time, were making plans to start their married life at my ...Read Full Post
The fault in our (cricket) stars
I walked into the house to the sound of my father yelling and shouting. 99 out of a 100 times, it's usually because of something my brother had done. But when I entered the house hearing both of them bellowing, it could mean only one thing – the Pakistan cricket team had failed… yet again. And what a time it was to lose. With the World Cup only a matter of months away, the Pakistani team could not have chosen a worse moment to be whitewashed, literally, by the host team of the forthcoming tournament. The issue is not that they lost, rather the manner ...Read Full Post
Series 1: "Dreams of Lunacy" Part 5 Stroke of darkness
He sits with his feet on top of each other, touching the skin just behind the nails where the tips of his fingers feel the small hairs that have recently grown out of nowhere. He rests his head on the strong shoulders of his father and looks at his hands work on the 12 feet canvas. "Why must you draw, father?" Hearing the voice of his child after an hour of lost silence, his hands suddenly stop midway, as if caught in the middle of an unknown activity, knowing not whether to continue or to retract, just when he was producing ...Read Full Post
My husband is deployed in the inhospitable terrain of Waziristan
Nowadays, various television channels have taken to playing emotional songs about sons and fathers joining the army, going on active duty and dying at the line of duty. It might be motivating for the general public, but what happens to the families of these soldiers can be comprehended neither by the channels nor by their producers. It is very difficult to satisfy a three-year-old when she asks, after watching the song, if her father is going to meet the same tragic fate because she believes that her father is the bravest. It is difficult to answer her question when a lump in the throat is ...Read Full Post
"What is beauty, father?" "What do you think?" "I don't know. I look at this glass in front of us and my eyes spot the reflected light from the glass on the table, and I'm baffled by these patterns, by this beauty which is perfectly still, perfectly independent, and calm." "So, is beauty only in still and independent objects?" "I don't think so.

My beloved daughter, do not weep when I am gone
To my beloved Daughter, It seems that today may be my last day on earth, my last day with my family, my last day with you. Today, I managed to get a chance to reflect on all that I have done in my life as a father. It has been pretty interesting, in my opinion. I leave to you my final memories as I prepare for my transition into the life hereafter. The first time I held you in my arms and saw your smile, sweetheart, I felt more blessed than you can ever imagination. I gazed at you, God's marvellous creation, wondering if you ...Read Full Post
Father – An orphaned refugee's idealistic fantasy
An orphaned refugee, a remnant of the last jihad, writes a riveting and imaginative composition on the topic, 'My Father' – an idealised fantasy inked to paper in commemoration of an absent parent, a youthful escape into what might have been. Even though the writer never, seemingly, came to know his father, having been a mere infant at the time of the bitter separation, the writing vividly reflects the untainted aspirations of what a child envisions his or her father to be, particularly in the case of orphans and dejected children. The year is 1990, and the sun has already ...Read Full Post
The day the Taliban attacked my father
Death is very different from finishing a novel; both symbolise the end of something, the emotional attachment to both is poles apart. One similarity, however, between the death of a good person and the end of a good novel is that both leave a mark on your life. It's hard to realise the importance of some people, until one day you wake up to find out that those people are no more in your life. I understood this reality on June 26, 2013. It was a very strange, sad day for me and my family. The day started like any other. My father, a ...Read Full Post
I will not change my name after marriage, why should I?
Contrary to what people believe in our society, a woman should retain the family name of her father instead of taking her husband's name after marriage. There are various Hadith which caution against adding a name other than one's father's. I can just imagine some readers raising their eyebrows indignantly at this statement while others will roll their eyes and think, "Here comes another feminist argument." But the fact of the matter is that this is not about feminism at all; this is not an argument about 'If men don't have to change their name, women shouldn't be made to either'. This is simply about a ...Read Full Post
Having the thalassemia gene does not make you less marriageable
It's not easy being a father when you know your child has a critical illness. I still remember the words of a thalassemia patient's father when we were in search of a blood donor for his son, "Doctor Sahiba, log to meri shakal dekh ker hi munh pher lete hein ke phir aagaya hamara khoon nikalwane." (Doctor, now when people look at me, they turn away, thinking that I'm back again to ask for blood.) It's the same story with Ahsan, a four-year-old child diagnosed with thalassemia at the age of six months. His treatment initially began with blood transfusions every three months which ...Read Full Post

Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Thursday said that Erode has the potential to become a textile heaven, and that its turmeric was world famous, which could change the face of the state's employment scenario if right initiatives were taken.
"India loves the turmeric of Erode as it makes our food tasty and colourful. He said that U.S had once sought patent for turmeric which had its medicinal and cosmetic usage since herbal products is growing on a large scale. Modi said that medicines and cosmetics from turmeric can change Erode's economy. BJP will give a special focus to develop herbal medicine and ayurveda and increase research and establish made in India brand," Modi said at a rally in Erode.
Modi also talked about Erode's textile industry and asked Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi that why proper measures were not taken to give jobs to youth in this sector.
"Erode district has the potential to be a textile heaven as all the components of the textile industry are present here such as dying, colouring as well as handloom are present here. We need to develop it in right way and provide infrastructure linkages. Whether it is Coimbatore, Tirupur or Erode, Gujarat has a very strong connection with this area as that is also a cotton growing state. And you people doing value addition by growing cotton. After, agriculture it is the textile which has the potential to generate a lot of jobs. Youth are dying to get jobs while the textile industry is going on the doldrums," Modi said.
"Shahzada why did your government not create right environment in India? Why did buyers moved to Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia? It is you who took away Indian youths jobs. Whose policies are responsible for this mess Madame Sonia?. Our Shahzada is moving all over India and talking about Made in India and Made in China. I want to ask Shahzada what are doing when China generates crores of jobs for its youth?" Modi thundered.
Modi stated that he was enjoying the hospitality of Tamil Nadu for the last two days during his visit.
"I am enjoying the hospitality of Tamil Nadu since last two days. Yesterday I went to Salem, Coimbatore and Krishnagiri, I can see the winds of change and people are fed up of the governments ruling them for all these years," Modi said.
Modi also rued about the dying fire cracker industry which was being eroded more by the influx of imports from cheap Chinese fire crackers.
"In Sivakasi, there's a fire cracker industry, who is responsible for the dwindling of this industry? It is the central government who is responsible for this condition and what happens is we import fire crackers from China," Modi said.
Modi also attacked Jayanti Natarajan who was the former environment minister
"I am sorry to say that one lady of Tamil Nadu was responsible for delaying a lot of infrastructure projects. This lady, again I repeat from Congress and it is not a fault of Tamil Nadu as she was elected in Rajya Sabha. Nation was told that projects were being held up for environmental reasons, in the name of green there was Jayanti tax. This was actually not due to green issues but green colour notes which features Mahatma Gandhi. Madame Sonia If the projects were held up due up due to green reasons then how come the green colour changed when you changed the environemtn minister? Almost 150 files were cleared the moment environment minister was replaced. Who is responsible for the loss of this great nation. Industry was halted, growth failed as thousands of youth lost their jobs?" Modi said.
Modi said that this elections were very special and therefore the people must elect a decisive leader at the helm of affairs at the centre.
"This election is very very special, neither the candidates nor the parties are contesting this time, it is the people of India who are contesting election. This election is for India first, it is an election for a government which works, A prime minister who is decisive and has a voice in the government. I do not need to explain to the people of Tamil Nadu what one suffers due to power deficit. Load shedding has become a thing of the past. Today if a ten or twelve year old from Gujarat comes to Tamil Nadu he will be shocked to see how this thing can happen and he won't be able to understand the power cuts," Modi said.
He also said that the youth in the age group of 18-28 must play a big role in this election as if they don't they will lose a big opportunity.
"This election is most important for the age group of 18-28. It is a very important phase of your life. Can you risk your life at this stage? Do you want to live the same life your parents and grand -parents live? If right environment is provided then every youth can shine. It is not like earlier times that only engineers and doctors can shine. You can become a tourist guide and earn in dollars by learning foreign languages. But unemployment remains a big problem in Tamil Nadu. In 2012, 77.43 lakh people were registered with employment exchange but your government gave jobs to a meager 10800 only. In Gujarat we provide both skills and employment. Gujarat provided 57 percent of total jobs through employment exchange. BJP has promised in manifesto and it is my personal assurance that we will re-orient economy so that job creation remains at its core. We will create National multi-skilled mission, we will promote labour intensive manufacturing and tourism. Our focus is good governance and development," Modi added.
He asked the youth to think for their future.
"I wish the first time voters, think about your future and the country's future and if you miss this moment who will become the first loser. Wherever elections are over the turnout has been high and the credit goes to first time voters. I am sure in Tamil Nadu you will come out to vote," Modi said.
BJP's prime ministerial candidate said that he had a great relation with Vaiko and said that a new alliance with him would be the future of Tamil Nadu.
"I always have a long and great relation with my friend Vaiko and under a new initiative that under that leadership of Vaiko , Ramadoss and Radkrishnan we will change the face of Tamil Nadu and India as this is the new future of Tamil Nadu. Only Tamil Nadu can play a major role for a strong government," Modi said.

While I wouldn't call it a
While I wouldn't call it a series of Nation States; the point is, it very well could end-up that way. Maybe NYC would become a City State -I doubt it due the amount of debt they currently have- or LA. Anything is possible.
I do not believe that we would have ot worry about any single or multiple Nation States attacking a single Nation State -if that is what they decided to create- because why would they and how would they. Most large scale attacks would leave the loot -in most instances- destroyed or in a negative state whereby it would cost more to take it by war and utilize it then then it would have cost to just buy it.
Also, there is a reason that nobody attacks Switzerland; and it has nothing to do with the UN or NATO. What Switzerland has of value would need to be exctracted by people, which meens that there wouldn't be the heavy utilization of bombs. The swiss people are very heavily armed, therefore any land campaign to take Switzerland will neccessarily fail due to this.
The people -as individual, not just as a collective- are going ot have to take responsibility for their lives and their other 'rights.' Even in a limited government scenario, this is going ot have to be a main tennet; the government cannot protect everybody -or even a majority of the people- and still maintain a small size and small tax burden.
I would hope that if there is one thing we could agree on it would be that people do have to start looking to themselves and their family, friends, and neighbors for help rather than the government. The government cannot be all things to all people; so to prevent a conflict from arising, it(government) shouldn't be anything to anybody.

But there's the larger question of karma. There was a time when it seemed like Kenny Anderson was the real deal, too. Six years ago, the Nets had a coach, they had a point guard, and a few guys with game. But a broken wrist, a car accident, and Chuck Daly's timely exit squashed that glimmer of hope as surely as a dyslexic can spell Micheal Ray Richardson. It was the Curse of Dr. J.
"We got buzzard luck," says Williams presciently. "We can't kill nothin' and nothin' won't die."
But the Nets aren't the Red Sox. They can make amends for their fateful transgression, and let Phil start with a clean slate. But if the team's new owners want to really turn this franchise around, it's going to take more than V-necked jerseys and a partnership with George Steinbrenner. An exorcism is in order. Repeat after me, Lewis Katz: Interim Coach Julius Erving.

Medical Minute: Are You Raising a Narcissistic Child?
We have all done this: we are shown a photo of a friend's child, and our initial response is based on the child's looks ("She's so cute! I can see where she gets her beauty from!")
We tend to especially favor children who are light skinned with long hair. Any culture that is obsessed with beauty and image breeds narcissism. As a result, most narcissists tend to be very good looking.
Narcissism in adults is a personality disorder that stems from abnormal self-developmental in childhood.
Studies show that the sharp rise in narcissists in today's society is directly linked to the explosion in social media. Instagram is a narcissist's playground where the self-obsessed upload their photos to encourage 'likes'. And there are pages on Facebook devoted to ranking a girl's beauty from 1-10.
In a blog on Huffingtonpost.com, sports psychology consultant Nicole Forester referred to social media as an "Epidemic of narcissism".
"We are each hard-wired with the desire to feel relevant. Everyone wants to feel like they matter and are important. Social media provides this outlet, but also promotes being self-absorbed," she writes.
The symptoms of narcissism are:
In addition to these symptoms, narcissists may also display dominance, arrogance, show superiority, and seek power or wealth.
There is ongoing research to find ways to prevent the alarming rise in narcissism. Psychologists urge parents to refrain from excessively praising their child's looks or behavior. Also, limiting a child's access to social media is beneficial.
Watch what you say to small children. For example, avoid telling a little girl that her beauty will cause boys to fall at her feet; or telling a handsome boy that he will grow up to be a lady killer.
Remember that children are concrete in their thinking. They don't have the maturity level to process that type of language yet.
Excessive praise is not just limited to looks; excessively praising a child's gifts or talents can lead to narcissism as well (think narcissistic celebrities).
Children typically have a difficult time distinguishing between their actual self (who they actually are) and their ideal self (who they think they are). This causes an unrealistic view of themselves. Children who grow up to be narcissists have fractured personalities (unrealistic perception of actual self and ideal self). They are like broken mirrors. We can put the pieces back together again, but the mirror will never be whole.
Children develop an unrealistic self-view when they receive too much attention or not enough attention from their immediate environment (parents, caretakers, or peers).
In order for a child to develop a realistic self-view, he or she must receive approval from their environment in balanced and healthy doses.
Remember that all babies are born narcissistic. But through social interaction with others they learn that they are not an island onto themselves and that the world does not revolve around them.
Children who receive too much praise/attention will develop an unrealistic self-perception, and children who don't will compensate for that lack of attention.
Any types of activities that focus on overly praising children can raise narcissistic levels.
The causes of narcissism are not fully understood, but the following factors can lead to narcissism:
It is unusual for narcissists to seek treatment. When they do, it is probably caused by a narcissist injury (loss of a relationship or employment) that leaves them feeling depressed or anxious. Treatment can be very difficult because narcissists often see themselves as more intelligent or knowledgeable than doctors. Treatment can include therapeutic approaches (anger management, cognitive, behavioral etc. MEdication is also prescribed for depression, anxiety, etc.

We tend to especially favor children who are light skinned with long hair.
Well this is some bullchit. Posted on a Sunday no less. As the proud mother of two young ladies; I often times say I have one who is my pretty scholar and one who is my beauty queen/socialite. They are of different hues. One is of deeper complexion with thick hair and striking features. The other is of a lighter shade with sandy red highlights and light eyes that change color with the seasons.
Which is the socialite and which is the scholar? I'll wait.
And for the record… I don't "favor" either. I tried to drop both their azzes off at my mama house this weekend and drive off as quickly as possible So I could get MY azz to the local wine festival.
See? I treat them equal. I want BOFF of em to get the entire hail on someplace.

LOWELL, MA (May 9, 2012) - Shujaa El-Amin - aka Dion Savage (12-3, 6 KOs) - spoiled tonight's "Homecoming" for popular brawler "Irish" Joey McCreedy (13-6-2, 6 KOs), who was fighting in front of his hometown fans for the first time as a professional boxer..
El-Amin, however, dominated the action from the opening round against the game McCreedy, capturing the vacant United States Boxing Organization ("USBO") super middleweight title in the main event at Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
The Flint, Michigan-invader won nine of 10 rounds on two judges' scorecards and swept all 10 on the other.
"I fight for oppressed people all over the world, not myself," El-Amin commented after the fight. "I come from a poor place and want to build-up my city. I'm fighting for my father who has been imprisoned in Illinois for 15 years for a crime he's innocent. We have proof. It's an injustice. His name is Dion Savage, Sr."
"Homecoming" - presented by Chicago Fight Clubs Promotion ("CFC Promotion") -- was the first professional boxing show held in seven years in Lowell, a well-known hotbed for amateur boxing, annually hosting the New England Championships. Lowell is best known as the home of "Irish" Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund, the principal subjects in the award-winning movie, "The Fighter." They worked the corners for McCreedy and his CFC Promotion stable-mate, Sean Eklund (10-4, 2 KOs), who is the nephew of Micky and Dicky.
In the co-feature, Ward-trained light welterweight Sean Eklund (11-4, 2 KOs), also fighting at home in Lowell for the first time as a pro, won a unanimous decision in his first eight-round bout from 22-fight veteran James Ventry.
"I could hear the fans and it was inspirational," the 28-year-old Eklund said after the fight, "but I had to stay within myself. I got wild a few times. I hurt him in the first round and loaded up trying to knock him out. He's a tough kid who has been stopped only twice. I didn't have much amateur experience, so I'm gaining experience now, and have gotten better in each of my last three fights."
Chicago light welterweight Antonio "Aztec God of War" Canas (6-0-1) overcame two third-round knockdowns to remain unbeaten in a six-round majority draw in an entertaining fight with Tyrone Chatman (9-1-2, 6 KOs).
US Marine Jimmy Smith, who did two tours in Iraq, decked Rafael Jusino in the opening round but soon the fight was halted after a cut opened over Jusino's eye from and accidental head-butt. The match was ruled a no contest.
New Jersey middleweight Anthony Jones (1-0-1) won his first pro fight with a unanimous four-round decision over pro-debuting Bernie Ongewe.

Big Country On World Cafe
By David Dye
Originally published on Tue December 10, 2013 5:03 pm
When Big Country founder and lead singer Stuart Adamson died in 2001, most would have assumed that the Scottish band was finished. But in 2007, the group reunited for a 25th-anniversary tour with a new lead singer in its lineup. Though Adamson was a hard man to replace, Big Country found comfort in recording and playing with Mike Peters, formerly of The Alarm.
With original Big Country member Bruce Watson at the helm, the band's new album came out last April and is titled The Journey. In this installment of World Cafe, hear the group perform a handful of old and new songs.

To meet modern-day tastes and demands of consumers, the food and dietary supplement industries are accelerating global sourcing and manufacturing while utilizing increasingly innovative, functional and natural ingredients. As the complexity of supply chains grows with more distant sourcing of ingredients, so do the risks posed by adulteration. The extent of adulteration, the emergence of promising detection techniques, and the role that quality standards can play in assisting industry and protecting consumers are among areas of focus for an upcoming workshop, Intentional and Unintentional Adulteration of Food Ingredients and Dietary Supplements, November 16â"17, 2011, in Rockville, Md.
The workshop is sponsored by the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP), the nonprofit public health organization that publishes the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and the USP Dietary Supplements Compendium (DSC). FCC and DSC provide written specifications for the identity, quality and purity of food ingredients and dietary supplements and ingredients, respectively; test methods suitable for the verification of these standards; and in numerous cases reference materials to confirm the correct execution of the test methods.
âœIn the food and dietary supplement industries, manufacturers continually incorporate new ingredients valued by consumers for their purported nutritional, health, flavor or other benefits,â said Anthony DeStefano, Ph.D., acting documentary standards officer at USP. âœConsumers and manufacturers pay a premium for these ingredients, which become targets for opportunistic adulteration as supply chains globalize. Adulteration can have significant business and health consequences, and should be a top concern for all stakeholders.â Continued DeStefano, âœAs strategies gain traction within companies, and science yields new detection techniques, this workshop will explore how global standards can serve all players in protecting the food and dietary supplements supply chains.â
Among workshop highlights:
- Skim Milk Powder Adulteration Projectâ"Scope, preliminary results, and challenges from this ongoing USP-industry collaborative research project that is currently evaluating the utility of different rapid non-targeted methods for discriminating authentic/pure skim milk powders from those that have been adulterated. The intention of this project is to create a tool-box of rapid authentication methods, confirmatory methods, and new total protein methods along with reference materials to help prevent economically motivated adulteration of skim milk powder in the supply chain. Many of the tools being explored represent a new paradigm for verifying food ingredient integrity that would be heavily reliant on chemometrics data analysis approaches combined with spectral libraries to assess how similar or different a test skim milk powder âœfingerprintâ is compared to those from numerous authentic/pure reference âœfingerprints.â
- Food Fraud Databaseâ"An advance look at a USP-developed database compiling published reports of food adulteration and detection methods, including more than 1,200 entries encompassing over 250 ingredients and based on more than 600 reports. In addition to indicating trends, useful to industry to warn of problematic and vulnerable ingredients, the database will help inform USPâs future work by assisting in identifying analytical gaps that have been exploitedâ"which USP can use to prioritize monograph modernization efforts. High-level trends including the most commonly reported adulterated ingredients over the past 30 years will be presented.
- Analytical Detection Approaches/Compendial Roleâ"An overview of different analytical approachesâ"in use or offering promiseâ"including fingerprinting and non-targeted analysis approaches using chromatographic, electrophoretic, spectral and other novel techniques to detecting adulteration. The compendial role in preventing adulteration, and how new approaches can be incorporated to meet the needs of industry, will be explored.
- Case Studiesâ"Case studies looking at products and ingredients with a history ofâ"or considered at-risk forâ"adulteration to include natural colors and flavors, spices, pomegranate juice, and weight loss and performance-enhancing dietary supplements spiked with pharmaceutical ingredients and steroids.
Presenters will include representatives from companies including General Mills, Kraft Foods, McCormick and Co,, Inc., and Chr. Hansen, among others; the National Institutes of Health; and academia and contract laboratories.

Great Refreshing Product
Par LINDA
de BURNABY, B.C.
This product is extremely refreshing. It smells great and leaves the skin soft and suple. It's kind of a fun tacky texture and I think far less drying than the peel off mask as you just wash this one off. Elizabeth Grant products are so reliable.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami

Michael started out being a pretty good reporter. But you can't be a senior person without being good at propaganda. Kelley destroyed Hagel, knowing full well that a three way division of Iraq is exactly what Israel wants and the US will not be permitted by Israel to destroy ISIS or link up with Syria to jointly destroy ISIS.
Everyone knows that Hagel warned, in 2009, that the New World Order threatened US interests. If you go back and read Yinon Zionism Iraq was to be divided into Shiite, Sunni and Kurd, and Saddam had to be taken out to accomplish that. Hundreds of thousands of deaths are on the neocons and Israeli hands. These people are the enemy of God and on the last day they will seriously wish they had never seen the light of one day.
But it does pay well, right, Michael?

For The US, 'Grand Strategy' May Be An Obsolete Concept — Or A Dangerous Distraction
They have a strategy, Jimmie. It is similar to the doctrine readily found on the internet called Yinon Zionism, which has included the doctrine of regime change. Seems like the US is doing what that doctrine wants and is destabilizing the entire world, alienating Russia and China a scaring the crap out of Europe. The Europeans would be better off being allies of Russia, than these crazy neocon globalists.
For The US, 'Grand Strategy' May Be An Obsolete Concept — Or A Dangerous Distraction
You can't blame an entire race for the actions of Zionists. Yinon Zionism is a doctrine, a political plan. It is virtually what is happening in the world with regime change. It is a dangerous doctrine and if we push it as far as this author wants, we will be in WW3. Maybe he wants to glow in the dark but perhaps he does not have grandchildren.

TED CRUZ: 'The World Is On Fire'
John, racists can be anti Zionists, but that is the wrong position. But this I know, Zionism is not a race, nor is it a religion. It is a political movement. That is all it is. It is the most powerful political movement. But that is all it is. So, there are many non Jewish Zionists. Joe Biden was very clear. He said you do not have to be Jewish to be a Zionist. Zionism is the New World Order. Don't be fooled. It will dominate our lives if we don't wise up. And maybe even if we do wise up. Cashless society, universal digital currency, wars against Russia, regime change in the middle east, these are all Zionist goals. If you are cool with those you must be one of them. As to your points, anti Zionism cannot blame an entire race because Zionism is not about race.

To meet all of your creative needs, LCI offers an extensive collection of card stock in types, colors, finishes, and textures galore. Whatever your design, whatever your style, we have a card stock for you.
Learn about the paper types we offer, how they get their unique appearances, and what they are commonly used for, below.
Metallic Card Stock
What Does it Look Like?
Metallic card stock is characterized by a pearlescent, or light reflecting, finish. Metallic card stock often has an iridescent appearance, changing slightly in color when light bounces off of it. In direct light, especially sun light, metallic stocks often take on a subtle sparkle, but are not quite "glittery" in the traditional sense.
What is Responsible for this Fantastic Finish?
The eye-catching sheen found on metallic papers comes from a coating that is applied to the sheet after it is made. In the case of many well-known metallic sheets, this coating is infused with the mineral mica - a mineral you are probably already familiar with, as it is responsible for the subtle sparkle in common items such as eye-shadow and vehicle paint.
What Can I Use Metallic Card Stock For?
Thanks to its modern, eye-catching coating, shimmering metallic card stock is most often chosen for the creation of chic, statement-making pieces - elegant, whimsical, and professional alike. LCI offers metallic paper in four different brands, and in over 60 different colors, so finding one to complement your design is never an issue.Best Printer for Metallic Paper >>
Colorful Vellum (Matte) Finish Card Stock
How do I Recognize It?
At a quick glance, card stock with a vellum finish appears to have a smooth, matte finish; but under closer observation, you'll see that vellum finish card stock features a toothy, or slightly roughened texture, similar to that of an eggshell.
Note: Card stock with a vellum finish is not that same thing as translucent vellum paper.
How is this Finish Achieved?
The slightly roughened, highly absorbent vellum finish is achieved by treating the card stock with a fine tooth texture during the manufacturing process. Typically, a finely textured roller press is guided over the sheet before it is dry; most comparable to passing a subtly textured paint roller over a wall.
What is Vellum Finish Card Stock Good For?
Mostly smooth to the eye and touch and highly absorbent, this surface is ideal for applications and mediums of all sorts, and is especially great for high speed printing. Adding to its diverse creative appeal, vellum finish card stock is offered in a rainbow of colors and in multiple weights.
Embossed Texture Card Stock
What Does it Look (and Feel) Like?
Embossed texture card stock is prominent to both the eye and touch, featuring a raised design or texture. Embossing can be heavy, yielding a defined texture, or light, yielding a more subtle texture. Embossing can be present on one side of a sheet or both.
How Does the Texture Come About?
Embossed textures are achieved by pressing or hammering a design into sheet after it is finished.
What are These Intriguing Textures Best Used For?
Because embossed stocks have a look that is irresistible to the eye and touch, they are ideal for any project that needs that "wow" factor. Use these distinguished stocks for invitations, promotional pieces, greeting cards, art work, and more. Choose from a wide assortment of colors and several rich textures including life-like wood grains, contemporary linear patterns, and character filled Japanese linens.
Linen Finish Card Stock
How Does it Look?
Linen stock features the subtle linear textured pattern of a woven cloth similar to a bed sheet.
Where Does this Cloth Look Come From?
Light embossing is responsible for linen card stock. As explained above, after complet

Pune: Life doesn't come easy for these students but what they have done against the odds is not only commendable but an example for other students to follow.
At the Blind Girl's Training Center, they couldn't see the computer screens that teachers were glued to check results but they could hear the whoops of joy and know that a dream has come true as all six students who appeared cleared the exams.Scoring 81%, student Anita Navgire was happier for her family who were excited about the result." My parents and siblings who supported me a lot are very excited about me being the topper at my school. I had expected 80% and worked very hard to get my goal at any cost." At Poona school and home for the blind trust, over half a dozen students scored distinction with the topper Raju Solankee scoring a whopping 90%. Other students who scored well were Gaurav Adhir 84%, Deep Dhokle 83%, Satish Jadhav 81%.
Similar celebrations were seen by students of Adhar Muk Badhir Vidyalaya who shone the brightest with all their students securing more than 70 % with topper Yuvraj Kamble securing 85.20%.
"We now plan to enroll him in a course which interests him and think that his percentage will enable him to chose according to his choice. We are happy as he worked very hard despite his odds," she said. Sonali Kadam came a close second with 84%. "My father hopes that I can get a hostel facility in Pune city which is safe as we live far away from city but he hopes I can continue my studies after my good marks," she said.
At Apang Kalynakari Sanstha which is school for differently abled students, it was a good year with hundred percent results and student Komal Mohan topping with 77% followed closely by Sagar Shinde and Vitthal Kandekar passing with 76% and 74.40% respectively.
Principal Atmaram Dhootonde of Ruia School said disability of his students who are hearing impaired did not deter them from achieving their dreams but makes them more determined to succeed in life. Mahesh Kautwar, standing first with 72% aspires to become a Computer Engineer. Vivek Sure and Akshay Bhambale both scored identical marks at 67%. Son of a tailor, Vivek plans to enroll into an ITI course.
