Marble Halvah

Marble Halvah
I have come up with a method that yields delicious halvah that is so much fresher and more delicious than any packaged halvah available for purchase. Try this gluten free, vegan dessert for a satisfying treat.
- Prep Time : 15 min
- Cook Time : 30 min
- Ready Time : 45 min
- 1 pound granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) cold water
- 1 pound pure sesame tehini (make sure there is no added salt)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 ounces dark chocolate, melted
Line a loaf pan or other mold with plastic wrap leaving a generous overhang on each side. Set aside.
Place the water, sugar, and salt in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to make sure the sugar is all dissolving. Once the mixture comes to a boil do not stir it again. Place a candy thermometer in the sugar mixture and cook to 248 Fahrenheit. While it is cooking use a pastry brush dipped in water to periodically brush down the sides of the pan to wash down any sugar crystals.
While the sugar syrup is cooking place the tehini in a small sauce pan and heat to 120 Fahrenheit. (If you do not have a second thermometer just heat it until it is quite warm to the touch but not hot.) Stir frequently to prevent it from burning. Transfer the warm tehini to the bowl of a stand mixer fit with a mixing paddle. Add the vanilla extract.
Once the sugar has come to temperature, immediately pour it into the mixing bowl. Turn it on the lowest setting and mix just until the mixture starts to look a bit grainy and loses some of its shine. Be careful not to overbeat the mixture or it will set in the bowl yielding a crumbly mess rather than a creamy finished candy. This should take no more than a minute. Immediately add the chocolate and mix just until the chocolate is swirled through. Working quickly, transfer the mixture to the prepared mold. Smooth down the top with a spatula and fold the plastic wrap over the top. Let cool at room temperature until set, approximately one hour. Store, well wrapped in plastic, in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Vanilla Halvah: simply omit the chocolate.
Pistachio Halvah: omit the chocolate and add1- 11/2 cups toasted unsalted pistachios to the mixing bowl with the tehini before adding the sugar syrup.

Always wanted to learn how to make halvah! looks and sounds delicious!
I think one in the shuk makes it with honey not with sugar…but tnx for the great recepie
Would it be possible to substitute the sugar for stevia and do a sugar-free halva ?
Thank you! I made the marble halvah today and it came out great! I have very little candy making experience but your directions made it easy. I may try mixing for a bit less time next time I make this to see if the texture is any lighter but the flavor is just right and the loaf slices beautifully!
thank you – Wendy – for your comment. I was looking for someone without candy making experience to try this and comment!! So now I will put this on the list of recipes to try. thank you much! and thank you, Shoshana for listing this recipe. Halavah is one of my all time favorites!
As a little kid I wasn't allowed candy like my school mates, I was allowed Halva. I absolutely LOVE it, and since moving to another state some years ago I have to beg my Mom to send me some on occasion. I was looking online for places to purchase it when I came across your website. Thank you so much for posting the recipe. I'm so excited to try and make it. Thank you again and take care, Annette.
Help! I have made this recipe, omitting the chocolate four times, with three different results. I have been making half batches for more control. The first time it came out perfectly. The second time I took too long scraping the sugar syrup into the kitchen aid mixing bowl and I mixed for too long and the entire mass seized and had to be thrown out. The third time I decided to pour the sugar syrup into the saucepan of warm tahini, stir by hand and pour into the mold. I bypassed the issues of scraping and uncoupling the kitchen aid mixer which takes too many precious seconds. This worked! I figured that I solved the problem and I could make the halvah for a special event. I went out and bought a container of 8 pounds of tahini. But I just now made a failed attempt. I did everything the same as the successful trial number three and added a half teaspoon of cardamom. I did leave out the salt….This time it did not solidify. It is thick but the oil of the tahini is leaching way from the rest of the ingredients. I really want to get this right! Please advise!!!!! Many thanks!
I had the same problem with it separating, Victoria! Did you ever figure it out? I tried it again a few times. It only worked once when I only mixed it for a short time.
I'm love halvah but I'm diabetic. If I was to use honey or, perhaps, agave syrup, what would the measurements be to convert it to one of those liquids instead of granulated sugar. Novice chef, here. I have never attempted any recipe like this one before but I'm looking forward to giving it a try one way or the other. Thanks in advance for any input anyone can provide!
I'm definitely going to try this. However I have eaten honey Halva before and loved the taste. Do you think I could use part sugar part honey, or would it affect the texture and should I boil the honey and sugar together?
Do I use toasted or un-toasted tehini?

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Murai is a Master Ninja possessing unsurpassed skill in all the Ninja arts. He is Ryu Hayabusa's uncle from his mother's side. He was once a member of the Hayabusa Ninja Clan but events that occurred in the past caused Murai to leave and form his own rogue ninja organization, the Shadow Clan. His ninja fortress is located not far from the Hayabusa Village. In the events of Ninja Gaiden, Murai gets a visit from his nephew in his Shadow Clan fortress. Ryu tells Murai that his father Joe Hayabusa has entrusted him the Dragon Sword while he continues his training. Meanwhile, the sister sword, the Dark Dragon Blade, is being guarded by the Hayabusa Clan to ensure its dark powers is sealed. Murai expresses his feelings saying it is a shame for the Dark Dragon Blade's power to be unused but alas, since he is no longer part of the Dragon lineage, the sword is not of his concern. Soon afterwards, their discussion is interrupted by Ayane, Murai's pupil and apprentice. She brings urgent message that the Hayabusa Village is under attack by an unknown assailant and Ryu quickly responds to the call. The unknown raider kills Ryu's best friend Kureha, steals the Dark Dragon Blade and attacks Ryu, leaving him to faint in the rubbled village. The next day, Murai informs Ryu that the being responsible for the attack is Doku, Lord of The Greater Fiends of the Vigooran Empire. Ryu then sets on a journey to seek his vengeance. During Ryu Hayabusa's journey to seek for the Dark Dragon Blade, a mysterious being only known as the Dark Disciple has been following him in the shadows. He is neither on Ryu's side nor the Vigoor Empire's side. He remains behind the scenes during the events, monitoring Ryu's progress the whole way. The Dark Disciple is heavily interested on the Dark Dragon Blade and is hellbent in obtaining the cursed blade himself with the help of his apprentice, Gamov. At the end of the game, the Dark Disciple reveals himself as Murai and as he grabs the Dark Dragon Blade, he mutates into a fiendish form and attacks Ryu. Alas, even with the cursed sword, Murai is beaten, falls down into a bottomless pit and presumably dies. It is unknown if Ayane is aware of Murai's betrayal or is part of the evil scheme. Additional Info Murai is known to be one of the hardest boss to beat in Ninja Gaiden. He is the first and last boss in the game. His first boss fight is one of the hardest and his last boss fight is one of the easiest, which is strange being that it should be the other way around.

Rio still carries a low price
It's still called the Kia Rio. But the five-door hatchback for 2012 is a notable new model with sporty appearance, well-laid-out interior, a more refined and quiet ride and a government fuel economy rating of 40 miles a gallon on the highway.
The revamped Rio also is wider and a bit longer than its predecessor, has more power and is one of the few in the segment whose four-cylinder engine is direct injected for powerful, efficient response.
The new Rio includes optional idle stop and go - a feature prominent on gasoline-hybrid cars that conserves gasoline by turning the engine off when the car is stopped, say, at a stoplight. The car automatically restarts when the brake pedal is released, such as when a traffic light turns green and a driver wants to move forward.
The Rio also is one of the few in the small-car class to offer a six-speed automatic, rather than a five-speed. Generally, more gears in a transmission helps engines get better gas mileage.
And despite adding what Kia officials estimate is $1,400 of equipment to the 2012 Rio hatchback compared with its more pedestrian 2011 predecessor, the new Rio five-door has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $14,350, which is some $300 less than the last year's base model.
This is for a 2012 LX with six-speed manual transmission, air conditioning and 138-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. An LX with automatic starts at $15,450.
By comparison, 2012 Ford Fiesta hatchback, with five-speed manual, 120-horsepower four cylinder and air conditioning, has a $16,465 starting retail price. The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic hatchback with 138-horsepower four cylinder, six-speed manual and air conditioning starts at $15,395.
The Rio is a sibling of the Hyundai Accent and uses the Accent's front-wheel drive platform as well as 1.6-liter, double overhead cam four cylinder with gasoline direct injection.
The starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $15,355 for the 2012 Accent hatchback, however, is higher than the Rio's.
Both hatchbacks are made by parent company Hyundai Motor Co. of South Korea and both have federal government fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg in city driving and 40 mpg at highway speed.
The rating applies to both manual and automatic transmission models, and there is no extra-cost "eco" package required to get the top fuel mileage rating, as there is in some small cars.
As a result, the Rio and Accent tie for second in fuel mileage ratings among all 2012 small cars that are non-hybrid and gasoline-powered. Only the diminutive 2012 Scion iQ with a smaller, less powerful engine and a continuously variable transmission has a better rating as a non-hybrid, gasoline model - 36/37 mpg.
The test Rio EX was the mid-range volume seller because it includes standard amenities such as Bluetooth telephone connectivity, tweeters for improved stereo sound, heated outside mirrors and a steering wheel that telescopes, not just tilts for comfortable driver positioning.
The EX also has standard automatic transmission, remote keyless entry and a center console with armrest that slides fore and aft to accommodate different-sized drivers.

I am afraid of getting general anesthesia, but want to get a brazilian butt lift. Can it be performed under local anesthesia?
Doctor Answers 12
Promoted Local Answer
Do NOT do a Brazilian Butt Lift with just local anesthesia
A Brazilian Butt lift is a combination procedure that includes liposuction to multiple areas, the cleansing and processing of the fat acquired, and then the transplanting of this fat into the butt. To perform the successfully, liposuction must be for performed in multiple areas throughout the body. Although local anesthesia may be used with limited liposuction is not recommended for a Brazilian Butt lift procedure. Please consider that we may obtain the best results of your body contouring surgery only if you are comfortable and free of pain. Discuss carefully with your surgeon your concerns so that you may receive anesthesia that will treat all the areas that will be addressed in a comfortable and safe fashion. Local anesthesia for this type of procedure is not recommended

Promoted Local Answer
Anesthesia and Brazilian Butt lift
We routinely use Sedation, not general anesthesia, for Brazilian Butt Lift, even when combining with a Tummy Tuck. It is safer because the procedure is long and risk of general anesthesia increases with time. Check out our video below to see patients who have had sedation.
Check out our galleries for results of Brazilian Butt lifts.

This would not be in your best interests
Hi there-
A few things are important for you to understand...
First of all, for healthy people, modern anesthesia is low risk (anesthesia techniques and medications have advanced with technology just like everything else), and for many procedures, the risk of general anesthesia is much lower than the risk of trying to do the procedure under sedation, because with deep sedation there is no control of your airway.
Secondly, it is very important for you to understand that there is a very significant difference between whether something CAN be done, and whether it SHOULD be done.
Brazilian Butt Lift surgery is a procedure I do often, and I can tell you that I would never consider attempting it under local- it would be prohibitively painful for the toughest of patients, and if you are in pain, it is impossible to do our best work, because rather than concentrating on the task at hand, I will be worrying about the pain I am causing you. Also, if you are in pain, it will be nearly impossible for you to hold still while we work, further compromising the outcome of the operation. This almost guarantees that you will not get the nice outcome you desire. Furthermore, because there is a limit to how much numbing medicine we can give you, there is a very real possibility that some portion of the procedure will have to be abandoned or postponed for another day because this limit is reached.
Compromising your outcome before the surgery ever starts because you want to avoid the anesthesia doesn't make any sense. If what you want is a big, beautiful, round butt, there are ways of achieving this for you- but not without appropriate anesthesia.
Give it some thought and discuss it with a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Local Anesthesia for Brazilian Butt Lift?
General anesthesia is advised
A Brazilian butt lift involves removing excess fat from different regions of the body and positioning the patient on the stomach or side. To ensure survival of a large volume of the grafted fat several passes of the fat injection cannula is necessary in multiple levels of each buttock. For patient comfort, and to ensure a painless procedure general anesthesia is necessary. However, some facilities are use intravenous sedation with local anesthesia or spinal anesthesia to allow a Brazilian butt lift to be performed without general aneshesia.
Local Anesthesia for Brazilian Butt Lift
Local anesthesia is generally a bad idea for the Brazilian Butt Lift, and will limit the improvement that you will receive. Do not tie your surgeon's hands if you want the best possible outcome. Consult with 3 - 4 surgeons to explore your options.
Web reference: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/West_Palm_Beach_Butt_Lift_Brazilian.html
Brazilian butt lift with local anesthesia is standard
Brazilian butt lift is normally performed with local anesthesia, ideally with sedation (so-called "twilight").Since we have the waterjet fat harvest technique available, we do not need to resort to more invasive forms of anesthesia.Fat harvest is much faster.
Also infiltration of local anesthesia and suction is simultaneous in the waterjet technique, so there is no fluid overload which further contributes to the safety of the procedure.
Therefore, Brazilian butt lift is best done under local anesthetic if Body Jet is used to harvest the fat.
Web reference: http://www.cirumed.es/1077-cosmetic-and-plastic-surgery/buttock-lift-the-brazilian-butt-lift.html/
General anesthesia for brazilian butt lift
I would think you would be more afraid to have this procedure done under local anesthesia. I highly recommend you really think about this before you decide on going through with the procedure. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to be examined and for best results. Good luck to you.
Web reference: http://www.jaimeperezmd.com
General operations under local anesthetic
I've tried many of these operations under local anesthetic and I've found that we are trying to satisfy patient's requests (which is very very important) to avoid something that really allows us to do our job artistically and not focus on discomfort and awareness or pain, etc... It may be possible but it's surely a bad idea that would limit the reuslt in my hands. Others may differ but the risk of a local anesthetic in an operation of this general area would probably put you at more risk for lido toxicity (even if you used the vibratory lipo methods). Just my 2 cents.
Web reference: http://www.doctormeade.com
Maybe conscious sedation, straight local is hard for large amounts
It depends on the amount of fat needed for harvesting and grafting. In general fat transfer could be done under local if small amounts are needed.
In larger fat transfer it will be hard to perform under staright local.Another option to consider is a conscious sedation in addition to local anaesthesia.

Probably they are watching measured EEG, instead of looking inside brains directly. We should not overestimate it. So I think there is a little exaggeration in this talk. But the research itself seems to be interesting and useful. With such a technology, we may be able to control something about our body which we could not control very well, even if we are not Yoga masters.

It is essentially the same sound (P and B) the only difference being that one is voiced and one is not voiced. I imagine something like this is much harder for the system to detect than say a missing syllable or a mispronounced vowel.

CAIRO, Dec 16 (Aswat Masriya) Egyptian Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi met with governors on Monday to discuss preparations for the upcoming constitutional referendum set for January 14 and 15 of next year, reported the state news agency MENA.
The governors' council discussed necessary logistics required to ease the process for voters.
Interim President Adli Mansour announced on Saturday that the constitutional referendum will take place in mid-January.
A 50-member assembly finished drafting a new constitution two weeks ago and presented it to Mansour for ratification.
Beblawi said in a televised interview on Saturday that the government is prepared to secure the referendum against the plots of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The government knows very well the plans of the Brotherhood and is capable of confronting this type of activities," he said.

In May of 1911, Captain Washington Irving Chambers, United States Navy, officer in charge of aviation, prepared the
requisition for the Navy's first aircraft to be purchased from aviator and inventor Glenn H. Curtiss. From then, until today, Naval aviation has played a significant role in the defense of our country, in peace and war.
Naval aviation today is comprised of more than 100,000 officers and sailors assigned to 11 aircraft carriers, 10 carrier air wings, 25 naval air stations, and 168 fleet, Reserve, and training squadrons.
We fondly remember the years we spent in the United States Navy. We salute all other veterans, both past and present for their service to our country.
For those interested in planes of the past, there are indeed lots of military DVDs, and aviation books. But we find that the best way to understand aviation history is to see it up close and personal ... to see the planes, touch them, sense their size and purpose.
Many fine museums around the country offer a first-hand glance at the history of Navy aviation. The National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, is a world-class facility, and highly recommended.
Also, the Naval Station Wildwood Aviation Museum at the Cape May Airport in New Jersey is well repsected, and their collection of aircraft, other aviation exhibits, special events and educational opportunities are recommended.
Other Navy aircraft collections at Patuxent, Alameda, Tillamook and other sites offer excellent glimpses into past Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard operations.
Shown below is but a brief sampling of the aircraft on display around the country, enabling us to remember and appreciate the planes and sailors of the past. We'll be adding more Navy and Marine aircraft photos soon.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A federal magistrate said Thursday during a probable cause and detention hearing there was "strong evidence" that Gordon Lasley Jr. killed his parents and the murder charge should go to a grand jury.
U.S. Magistrate Jon Scoles said Lasley, 25, charged with murder in the double homicide of his parents, Gordon Lasley Sr. and Kim Lasley, Feb. 5, presents a serious danger to the community. Scoles said based on his past history and failures to appear in misdemeanor offenses starting in 2006, he didn't think there were any conditions that would guarantee his appearance in court and he will remain in custody pending trial without bond.
Scoles said Lasley Jr., a member of Sac and Fox Tribe of Mississippi who was enrolled as a third-year student at Marshalltown Community College, has several convictions for public intoxication, trespassing, possession of marijuana, OWI, interference with officials acts, theft, and was on probation for assault causing bodily injury at the time of this homicide.
FBI Special Agent Scott Irwin testified to the facts laid out in the complaint filed last Friday. No new details were revealed during the hearing.
On cross examination, John Burns, one of Lasley's attorneys, asked if Lasley's girlfriend, who Irwin interviewed, indicated there was any conflict at the parents' home while Lasley Jr. was there.
Irwin said no. She said Lasley Jr. "appeared happy." She said she and Lasley Jr. had smoked marijuana earlier in the evening.
According to the complaint, the girlfriend told police Lasley Jr. said he killed his parents.
Burns asked if she said the parents were also smoking marijuana that night.
Irwin said she didn't. The girlfriend said Lasley Jr. made some other comments to him but Irwin didn't say what.
Scoles said according to a pretrial report Lasley Jr. had "heavily" consumed alcohol since he was 14-years-old up to last year and had been using marijuana since he was 14. He also went through substance abuse treatment in 2006 and 2011.
According to the complaint Lasley Jr. was pulled over by Tama County Sheriff's deputies Feb. 6, in his mother's car. Lasley had blood on his hands and clothing. He also had cuts and lacerations on his left hand and scratches on his right hand.
Lasley's girlfriend told authorities she had been with Lasley and his parents in their home on the Meskwaki Settlement Feb. 5, but she left the home and then later received a call from Lasley, saying he killed his parents, according to the complaint.
The older brother of Lasley Jr. and his girlfriend also told authorities he had confessed to the homicide. The girlfriend said Lasley Jr. had blood on him when he stopped by their house that night.
According to the complaint, Meskwaki Nation Police officers found the bodies of the parents after another son told police that Lasley Jr. also admitted to him about the homicide. Officers also located a machete lying on a couch with apparent blood on it.
Authorities haven't revealed a motive but a former New York City police officer and a former New York City homicide detective, who are professors at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, suggested a few possibilities after reading news articles about the case. Both said their comments are pure speculation because they are not connected or involved in the investigation.
Eugene O'Donnell, a lawyer and former New York police officer and district attorney, said this crime "screams" of a mental health issue. If not a mental issue, a robbery for drugs could be a motive or possibly the son viewed his parents as "overbearing" or somehow he viewed them as restricting him in some way. A child killing a parent isn't unusual. It usually comes back to money, children who might be financially dependent on parents.
Parents killed by one of their children has been increasing since 1980, according to a 2011 U.S. Department of Justice report. They have gone from 9.7 percent of all family homicides in 1980 to 13 percent in 2008.
"There is usually more questions than answers in a case like this and the "why" (it happened) never gets answered," O'Donnell said."It's an obscene rationality because it's a destruction of their (the child) own life."
O'Donnell said the "brutal nature" of this killing, using a machete, indicates an "intimate hatred."
Joseph Giacalone, a former Bronx and New York police detective, agreed saying the choice of weapon in his experience tells him the attacker wanted to be as close as possible, "on top of them and see that fear in their eye. They were comfortable with the attacker and wouldn't have had a chance."
Giacalone said the investigators should have decent evidence of what happened at the crime scene with blood splatter and there would be the condition of the room where the attack happened - it would likely be a "wreck."
Giacalone said of course, he doesn't know why this crime happened but all investigators start out with a basic theory and then tries to prove it or disprove.
"Ninty percent of all cases are in what we call the 'homicide triangle' - (committed because of) love, money or drugs," Giacalone said. "An investigator builds a hypothesis to launch his investigation and then lets the facts dictate the theory."

Texas Department of Public Safety established
On this day in 1935, the Texas Department of Public Safety was established by the Texas legislature, prompted by the election of Governor James Allred, who ran on a platform of better law enforcement. The department was to enforce laws to protect public safety and to provide for crime prevention and detection. A three-member Public Safety Commission, appointed by the governor for six-year terms, oversaw the department and in turn named the director and assistant director. Homer Garrison, Jr., the first assistant director, became the director in 1938, and led the department for almost thirty years. Originally department operations were classified into six divisions: the Texas Highway Patrol, Texas Rangers, Bureau of Communications, Bureau of Intelligence, Bureau of Education, and Bureau of Identification and Records. Through the years the Department of Public Safety continued to reorganize and expand its operations into such activities as licensing of drivers, investigation of drug trafficking, accident records, emergency management, automated fingerprint identification, combating organized crime, and motor-vehicle theft.

No you can not do this with he airport, doing so may evan damage the airport. If you get the airport or any of apples networking devices you will have to get a modem, (normally offered by your service provider, or any good technology retailer should have them) for you'r case this would most likely be a DSL modem that will connect to your phone line for you then connect to the airport. If you get a modem that has a built in router, it would be best to put the modem in to bridge mode and then use the airport to dial the connection. this is how my configuration is set up and works perfectly for any networking i do evan with a full server running on it no problems no down time for 16 months so far from date of purchase.

Mississippi State's volleyball team lost 3-1, on Saturday to Southeast Missouri in four sets.
The Bulldogs are now 2-2 for the season.
Despite the loss, sophomore Taylor Scott notched a double-double with 19 kills and 15 digs. Joining her teammate in the double-double category was freshman Kimmy Gardiner who picked up 15 kills and 21 digs.
Scott and Gardiner were part of a trio of Bulldogs with double-digit kills totals as Brooke Sassin provided 12 kills to round out the group.
With so many players posting high numbers, coach Jenny Hazelwood says Saturday's loss was not about productions, but rather it all comes down to the team learning how to play multiple matches in a short period of time.
"We've talked about it a lot with freshmen figuring out how to play a couple matches and do well, then turn around the next day and still play at a high level," Hazelwood said. "We gave up a lot of points. We had more kills in both matches, more digs in both matches. We were just giving up too many points. At this level, you can't do that so that is just something we have to learn as a young team and really clean up our side."

Wednesday evening, a leaner -- though not necessarily meaner -- Ray Lewis stepped outside of the Under Armour Performance Center and strolled to a microphone stand surrounded by reporters and video cameras.
The 37-year-old inside linebacker was noticeably lighter than he was at the end of last season, and his white polo shirt and dark slim-fitting jeans showed off the streamlined physique that Lewis spoke about last month. He said at the mandatory minicamp that the weight loss was calculated, a response to the Rob Gronkowskis and Aaron Hernandezes of the world and the high-scoring passing offenses that have taken over the league.

India looks at e-agriculture
I've lost all sense of time, but my mobile phone (which fortunately works 800 kms away from home) tells me it's 10:29 am on March 9, 2006.

I've lost all sense of time, but my mobile phone (which fortunately works 800 kms away from home) tells me it's 10:29 am on March 9, 2006. Have reached Baramati... after many years.
Later today, the 6th Annual Baramati Initiative on ICT and Development (focussing on The Potential of e-Agriculture) gets underway at this rural, but education-oriented island two hours away from Pune in Central India.
On reaching, I couldn't recognise the place. It has been a return to Baramati after five (or is it six?) years. The place has greened in the meanwhile... while this diarist has greyed ;-) Another change: bandwidth has improved considerably here. I could have been in some part of metropolitan India at these speeds.
And so has the Baramati knowledge of GNU/Linux and Free Software Foundation ">free software. When I was struggling to get onto the Style information: N/a
Source: Wikipedia and "Wi4D, techies and campaigners look at potential for the social world" (APCNews, 1 December 2006).">wirelessnetwork (I'm no techie, as you know) a staff member from the institute helped me in a few minutes to get online. Despite the fact that they're more into Red Hat and this is Mandrake. (I prefer the volunteer-crafted Debian, but the student supporting me has installed Mandrake on my laptop, and there's no arguing with him!)
Instead of spending the day at Pune, I thought of bussing it down to Baramati, in the rugged, rough but fairly efficient and functional bus service that connects this "government" in this glossary). As a general rule, "state" should not be capitalised.
Source: Governance for sustainable human development: A UNDP policy document (Glossary of key terms) and Wikipedia">stateof 96 million (Indian sizes tend to be huge, except perhaps that of my home state, Goa, 1.4 million!). And as I look at the Wikipedia for the background figure on Baramati, I find that
Kerala, another Indian state not far from Goa to the south, is featured on the home-page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page today.
The actual event opens tomorrow, Friday, March 10. Among other things, there's a report launch on 'e-Agriculture: Empowering India', talks, a field trip to a sugar-cooperative (this is the heart of Indian sugarland), and more. Given bandwidth, I hope to keep you updated with inputs. Let's see how it goes.
As the students talk about organising (mainly) the event and technology (a bit, amidst all the bustle today) in Marathi (the local language) and Hindi (India's national language, but not uniformly understood across the country), it's nice that we had to learn a bit of either in school -- so one can understand what's going on... and even converse. What's
also interesting is the high rate of women participation among students here. But will they be able to break the glass ceiling over time?
