Roobina Karode will discuss the ongoing exhibition at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art showcasing Nasreen Mohamedi's retrospective, 'A View to Infinity'. She will be expounding on the curatorial choices she made in the shaping of the exhibition, the challenges she encountered and share her ongoing formulations on Nasreen's distinctive art pedagogy and practice, her oeuvre and the trajectory of subliminal abstraction that she steered at a time when figural narration was predominant in India.
As her student at the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University of Baroda, and as her neighbour, Karode came to know the artist very closely through many interactions with the artist from 1977 to 1990. Having spent long hours at her studio-cum-home, she will be sharing the artist's persona with the audience through personal anecdotes and rare insights registered by her into the self-evolving discipline of Nasreen, with regard to both, her art and life.
The lecture investigates central aspects of the globalization of the art world: the circulation of the biennale cultural form, its appropriation in many geographical locations and the contents and questions generated through these processes.
Yashwant Deshmukh, now in his early fifties, looks back at and beyond the evolution of his practice that spans over 25 years. Deshmukh's canvases reverberate what his innumerable drawings silently observe. A brief interaction with his work exhibited so far might lead to traces of 'style' - muted colours that subdue layers of texture and almost geometric shapes marked with bold outlines. These impressions do last, as Deshmukh maintains a steady pace. During the two and half decades, a gradual process of arriving at an accomplishment in form and style, sensing a comfort zone and then a departure, can be sensed in his oeuvre.
The first departure the artist made was from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, where he was trained. He took to drawing with a resolve to unlearn. The solitude ended after many months, and so did the artist's search for subject. His drawings and the imminent paintings had revealed to him that the subject is within. He became a narrator of his own visual experiences. His technique facilitated aggregation of the personal. The artist took geometry to a literally impossible task- to evoke feelings. The presentation and conversation is aimed at mapping the points of departure in Deshmukh's work. It is a journey to the expanses of Vidarbha region, to a distant village in Vasai, to Mumbai where he lives and works and to the cities and countries he visited while his work grew beyond cultural codes.
Admission free and open to all | The program will be in Marathi and English.
Parvathi Nayar's uniquely hybrid work examines the narratives of spatial relationships: both the internal spaces within our bodies, and the external in which we live, and often through the prism of science and technology. By treating her artworks as sites of dialogue where different elements – the scientific and the intuitive, the historical and the contemporary – meet and converse, she encourages viewers to re-experience once-familiar perspectives.
Prajakta Potnis's work dwells between the intimate world of an individual and the world outside, which is separated sometimes only by a wall. She refers to the wall as a witness to history that has traces of inhabitance embedded within. She tries to contextualize the wall as a membrane through which imperceptible elements pass and affect the psyche of individuals, addressing private and social anxieties.
In Fluid Conversations, the artists will present selected works to introduce their practice, and specifically focus on their exciting site-specific installations at the Kochi Biennale 2014-15. Exploring the linkages between inner and outer spaces, the conversation will trace multiple trajectories in their practice that find a resonance in their projects at the Biennale.
Admission free and open to all.
The artists, Swapnaa Tamhane and Aman Sandhu, have been interested in the idea of display, particularly some of the strategies of display in relation to the consumer. Taking particular reference from shop windows in small towns of Germany, which have a certain emptiness, the series of photographs that have formed their research, are linked to the concept of phantasmagoria. The site-specific work, SETS (2015), produced for FOCUS Festival at The Hive discusses this concept.
The artists are based in Germany, and have been working in collaboration since 2011. Their concerns are connected back to a dialogue around landscape, space, or culture. Past works include drawings, sculptures, performances, that are responsive to new landscapes in which they have found themselves. They use the term landscape in a broad sense, linking them to ideas of displacement, diasporic sensibility, inner and outer responses, and environmental influences.

CAMP talks about the mutual development of ideas, collaborations and "encounter strategies" in As If (I- IV), their series of ongoing exhibitions across Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai. As If is expanded upon as the title and framing device of these series of shows. In conjunction with their exhibition, As If - IV Night for Day, the Mohile Parikh Center presents a talk, followed by a walkthrough by CAMP, at Chemould Prescott Road.
In early film craft, Day for Night was when night scenes were shot in the day - a trick of necessity. Night for Day propagates this idea in the reverse direction. Screens fill the space with electric, sonic, filmic and other uncategorisable works from 2003 to 2015 that took place in the nighttime worlds of Bombay, Delhi, Kabul, Dakar, London, and other non-places exploring time, energy and imagination on the other side of the 'everyday'. CAMP brings into the gallery their version of what was once called the 'virtual', which not so long ago broke the horizon of what is (or what could have been) possible to see, hear or sense.
In collaboration with Chemould Prescott Road.
Swiss artist, Mirjam Spoolder was inspired by the nine districts of Delhi to create this exhibition, Nine Times Nine, a project which questions what one's place is in this overpopulated and multicultural world. While discussing these works, the artist will develop nine wearable objects out of these photograph patterns, with the aim to crossover four different mediums into one form of art: photography, design, sculpture and performance art. The project is supported by a grant from Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council and IAAB / Ateliermondial in Basel, Switzerland for a residency in Delhi.
Born in the Netherlands, Mirjam has lived and worked in Basel, Switzerland since 2007. She studied sculpting at the art Academy in Enschede and Theatre in Rotterdam. Finally, after moving to Switzerland, she finished her education in Master of Fine Arts in Basel in 2010. She reflects art into fashion design by producing individual art pieces and transforms them into performance art. Through photography, she tries to capture these three mediums together into one image.
The way modern Indian art and Indian culture are viewed in globally important art institutions has changed. This is evident from recent displays at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Venice Biennale, London's Tate Modern, the New York Guggenheim and Rotterdam's Witte de With. No longer are indebtedness and belatedness the only prisms through which Indian and other non-Western forms of modernism are viewed. The examples of Nasreen Mohamedi, V.S. Gaitonde and Tyeb Mehta illustrate the shift in understanding.
Will the new openness result in a more widespread revaluation of culturally inflected modernism? This talk will refer to the sentimentalism of twentieth century Indian art, an emotiveness that departs from established norms of modernism. The artists cited are Ravi Varma, Abanindranath Tagore, Chittaprosad, S.L. Parasher, Nasreen Mohamedi, Amar Kanwar, and A. Balasubramaniam. Further, the biennial as the primary mode of the dissemination of contemporary art will be investigated with questions of how well-equipped it is to accommodate cultural difference.
Admission free and open to all.
Karin Zitzewitz's 'The Art of Secularism: The Cultural Politics of Modernist Art in Contemporary India' addresses the entanglement of visual art with political secularism. The crisis in secularism in India is commonly associated with the rise of Hindu nationalism in the 1980s. A variety of commentators have noted how the Hindu nationalist movement made innovative political use of iconic images associated with Hindu mythology, challenging the relationships between modernism, national culture, secularism and modernity that had been built since India's independence in 1947.The Art of Secularism describes how that political shift radically transformed the terrain of modernist art, which had often drawn upon religious iconography as a largely secular form of national culture.
In this talk, Zitzewitz examines how three renowned modernists, M. F. Husain, K. G. Subramanyan, and Bhupen Khakhar, grappled imaginatively and very differently with the re-enchantment of signs. Her research attests to the depth and range of modernist experimentation with secularity in India, but also the unequal freedom that artists have to use religious iconography in their work.
Admission free and open to all.
The talk compares Western theories of artistic creativity with those of the Hindu tradition. The focus of Western theories has been the creative person. Psychoanalysis continued this tradition by emphasizing the biographical roots of creativity, tracing its source to the creative person's emotional conflicts and highlighting the therapeutic function of creativity. There is recently a shift from the psychological to the biological in that the special nature of the creative person's cognitive and perceptual processes are receiving greater attention. Indian foundational texts on creativity, on the other hand, do not concentrate on the personality of the creative artist that needs to be transcended for the creativity to flower. Creativity arises from his or her participation in a transcendent-spiritual unconscious. Kakar then looks at an anthropological study of traditional painters and the views of Rabindranath Tagore, perhaps the greatest creative genius produced by India in the last two hundred years, to discuss the contemporary relevance of the traditional Indian view of creativity.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.

Obama revealed the extent of his narcissism, his outsized sense of self-regard, this week during his hasty explanation of his flip flop on the issue of gay marriage. In his ABC News interview Obama waxed poetic about those American troops that he thinks are fighting for him as opposed to fighting for their country.
During his interview, Obama told ABC News' Robin Roberts that he feels "constrained" in war policy, but it's what he said before that which startles for its arrogance (my bold for emphasis).
When I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.
Fighting on your behalf, Mr. President? What an amazing conceit. No, Mr. President, our soldiers are fighting for their country not for a particular president. Cesar's troops fought for him, on "his behalf." So did Napoleon's. But our nation has no emperor, Mr. Obama. American troops fight for their country not its leaders or leader.
Troops receive their order from the president through the chain of command, to be sure, but they are not individually answerable to the president. They are answerable to their own officers, of course, but not to the president. Only top generals must answer directly to the president as they serve at his pleasure. But the troops do not.
Further, the troops swear their oath of service to the Constitution of the United States, not politicians. Finally, Congress itself has certain powers over our armed forces, too, so the President is not all-powerful where our military forces are concerned.
Would that we had a real journalist in that interview. It is no surprise that the softball-pitching ABC News TV reader Robin Roberts didn't press Obama on his arrogant assumption that our troops own their fealty to him as opposed to their country, though. After all, she was chosen for this quickie, ill-planned announcement because she is not a real reporter.
There is another reason that Obama picked a softballer for his quickie interview. He really isn't prepared for any though questions on his new, new stance on gay marriage. Loose cannon Joe Biden forced Obama's hand on the issue, and word is the administration is a bit torked off at ol' Slow Joe because of it.
It is easy to understand that Obama likely could not satisfactorily answer tough questions because his team haven't take the time to craft a well thought out policy this soon after Joe Biden's gaffe. So, fluff TV chickie Robin Roberts got the job.
But regardless of all the political/policy machinations of this sudden reversal on gay marriage, it is more shocking that Obama imagines that it is he who is featured most prominently in the minds of our troops.
Such disgusting hubris.

|I really enjoyed this show when it was on but I also got the feeling that it suffered from cram-everything-into-13-episodes adaptation decay. The part that bugged me the most were Mei's "friends" who basically have their issues for an episode then are conveniently paired off with random boys to get them out of the way - but they can still give Mei advice when she needs it! I assume (and hope) that the manga does a little more with them.

|I had read some of the manga and was excited when it started streaming but I got bored with it very quickly. It was just too slow and I got frustrated with Mei very quickly because it seemed like Yamato was having to do all the work. My little monster came out around the same time and it had a similar premise so I just ran with that show instead. I liked the idea of Say I love you but it is just way too generic like the article said it just wasn't very unique when I was reading the summary of it what automatically came to mind was Boys over Flowers and depending what you have read your self when reading it so many other titles could come to mind also.

I wouldnt call it a negative at all. For one thing, its kinda the norm for male characters like him in Shojo series. Besides , there are a lot of other series where some male character's hairs ( Shindo from Tokko) are far more worse than Yamato's.

I haven't seen Tokko so it is irrelevant to my feelings about Say, "I Love You". Bad is bad, even if something worse exists out there.
And even if such foppish hairstyles are common in shoujo series - which they totally aren't, based on the couple-dozen shoujo shows I've seen - they still are horrible and should be excised. Just because something is the norm doesn't mean it is right.

|I really love this show. A a guy, I fell in love with it. Made me tear up a couple of time due to the problems of some characters, and whatnot. It's amazing for those who haven't seen an Anime in English before who are not into fighting, and are more into the Literature Romance books.

Sinusitis - What Happens
There are two types of sinusitis: acute (sudden onset) and chronic (long-term). Sinusitis often develops after a cold or viral infection. Most sinus infections improve on their own, but sometimes they develop into a bacterial infection—swelling, inflammation, and mucus production caused by the cold can lead to blockage in the nasal passages, which may encourage the growth of bacteria.
Acute sinusitis, whether viral or bacterial, may develop into chronic inflammation or infections that may last 12 weeks or longer. Chronic sinusitis can lead to permanent changes in the mucous membranes that line the sinuses. As a result of these changes, you may become prone to having more sinus infections that may become more difficult to treat.

Indian Plumbing Association (IPA) is the most qualified body of plumbing professionals in India. It was established in 1993 with the objective of promoting the development of the plumbing and building services industry. Today, the association has nearly 2.400 members, and Calpeda India joined as member in 2015.
IPA has raised a common platform for spreading the message of 'Better Plumbing for Better Living' in the Indian plumbing industry with the goal of improving public health and safeguarding the environment.
Calpeda India had the honour to sponsor the Bangalore Chapter Meeting held on 17th July. During the meeting, a Round Table dedicated to the topic, "Pumping System for High Rise Building", was held. Mr Francesco Majolo, Vice President of Calpeda SpA and member of the panel of experts, was invited to provide his views on the questions related to the topic. The Question & Answer session was very interesting and appreciated by all the partecipants.
After enlarging one of its company branches, a leading French producer of food packaging asked Calpeda to install a new pressurisation system for cooling in its premises in Ravenna. The pressure boosting set is made up of three NMS 80/250C centrifugal pumps of 37kW each. In addition, in line with the increasing attention given to energy saving technology, the group is managed by a variable speed system piloted by an inverter for controlling the usage pressure. The unit, completely made in-house at Calpeda, was then assembled on site by a team of technicians that also personally followed the starting phase. And the team found a pleasant surprise while installing: a Calpeda pump fitted at least fifteen years ago that has always worked perfectly.]]>
The activity of the work group (JWG) for drafting the new regulation on the minimum efficiency of cold water pumps (MEI), a group Calpeda has been involved in through its experts Michele Dai Prè and Andrè Kistner, is continuing.
The work, which started in 2012 as part of the larger EC Regulation 547/2012 which establishes the specifications for the eco-friendly design of water pumps, has already conveyed the identification of minimum efficiency values: MEI>0.1, which entered into force in January 2013, and MEI>0.4, which entered into force in January 2015.
The progress of the increase in the MEI indexes fixed by the Regulation has been respected and is operative.
Currently, the group is already working on additional objectives regarding energy efficiency. In the next few years we can expect the introduction of new indexes which will probably involve even swimming pool pumps and drainage pumps. But that is not all. These new objectives are tied to a changed calculation philosophy that will no longer be MEI, but which will become EEI (Energy Efficiency Index), as established for the circulators.
In substance, the EEI is the result of an Extended Product Approach, in other words a wider approach according to which the product is considered in its entirety (pump, motor and possible frequency converter): As a result, even the minimum efficiency value will no longer be given by summing the minimum efficiency values requested for the single components, but will be a total/unified value.
This new approach will bring additional energy saving, necessary for reaching the objective of reduced CO2 emission established by the European Union. It has indeed been noted that this goal will be difficult to reach by only increasing the efficiency of every single component; the union of very efficient components, in fact, does not necessarily produce a highly performing system. The solution proposed by the Europump JWG is to add EEI values according to the application, to try and direct the installer or end client to a system that is more efficient for their installation.
Technical innovation never stops at Calpeda. Another novelty has been added to the production department, with the aim of further improving not just end product quality but also work quality for operators.
A new plant that produces wound stators for the MEC 80 motor was installed in the windings department.
The hydraulic shaping press on an already-existing coil winding machine was replaced by a new electric press, improving productivity and quality when shaping motor heads thanks to the possibility of setting the shaping parameters phase by phase.
Another 2 machines were added to complete the plant, one for bevelling and one for inserting insulation into the slot bottom, all dominated by a load-unload robot with three-dimensional viewing system for extracting the stators directly from the container.
The increase in productivity was immediately evident, and at the same time work quality improved greatly, alleviating the operator from having to continually handle heavy stators.
A "Pink Bow" for the new arrival in Calpeda Asia Pacific. The Administrative Accounting Director of the subsidiary, our Lee Lee Tan, gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Ellysha is her name and we forward to her our warmest welcome. Congratulations with all our hearts to her Mommy and Daddy!]]>
Design, development, production and then distribution.
These are the steps that are normally followed when making all our products. To make sure they all answer market demands perfectly, however, we have added something extra to the start-up, a kind of test to calibrate true production, and to verify "if everything was done well".
The product we are talking about is IMAT, a variable speed system, and the testing ground was the British market, which is particularly sensitive to energy saving and, as a result, to products like the inverters.
A training session on the new product was held at our subsidiary in England in mid-April.
Calpeda UK had already been swamped by market response following the launch of the Easymat frequency converter, appreciated because it is a compact, efficient and reliable solution, and also very easy to program.
Now there are great expectations also for IMAT, which will be available from June and which completes our range of variable speed products. Being three-phase, IMAT is aimed at the business/industrial sector, while EASYMAT (single-phase) was designed for home use.
Training was held over three phases.
The first was inverter assembly on a pressurisation unit, together with the Calpeda UK technicians; we assembled the drive on-board an already-prepared unit to show the installation and wiring methods.
After this we dedicated time to specific product training, explaining the product characteristics to the sales team and the technical assistance, then demonstrating operation with the wired unit.
Suggestions for further increasing drive capacity and making it more in line with market demands came from these first two phases.
Finally, a pressure boosting set for a football stadium and a clinic was installed on-site. More specifically, we replaced a fixed speed set with a set that had two variable speed pumps and an IMAT inverter.]]>
"Gran vente de lanzamento": this is the title of the event dedicated to the Calpeda brand that was organised by our distributor PGIC at the Estadio Italiano in Santiago, the capital of Chile, on 24th March. And it was certainly a great celebration, with the quality of our pumps, but also a partnership made of collaboration and reciprocal trust, in the centre of the stage.
Calpeda has been on the Chilean market for long, but the current distributor felt the need, and took the opportunity, to officially present the brand after meeting Calpeda. It was, as told enjoyably during the evening, love at first sight between the PGIC sales manager and our products. After having visited the company in Montorso Vicentino, he returned home certain of the idea of selling Calpeda pumps, and he was further encouraged by verification of the already optimal reputation our products have in that country.
This is where the idea of a "launch" dedicated to the Calpeda brand came from. Clients from all over Chile attended, and it was a great pleasure to have the area manager Andrea Zanoli and the CEO Renzo Lorenzi present.
The event, which offered Italian cooking and music, there was also an opportunity for a successful advertising that resulted in a considerable number of orders.
It was very satisfactory for Calpeda, not just for how well the evening turned out, but also for how PGIC works. Its capillary presence in the country, the excellent preparation of its operators and the after-sales service it offers makes it an ideal distributor that stands out in a market which, because of its characteristics, can freely encompass our whole product range.]]>
The appointment for the usual yearly meeting of the agents in the Italian sales network was at the end of March in Calpeda. This meeting has always been an important moment for sharing projects, ideas and products, but it is also an occasion for strengthening enthusiasm and conviction. Because in a technological world like ours, if keeping in contact is not a problem, interacting personally, exchanging experiences and feeling part of one great big team can certainly be.
"The product-client bond must be consolidated, starting from the agents who are our filter in the territory and our eyes on the market" explains Matteo Majolo, head of the Italian sales network. "We can count on an excellent group of professionals who have been working with us for years, and with which we have a very trusting relationship…considering this, it's not surprising that we are already working with the second generation in many regions."
During the meeting, Matteo Majolo's role as a reference point for the various agencies that represent Calpeda in Italy will be presented officially.
"I was fully trained at Calpeda," explains Majolo "from production to testing, shipping, repairs and then the sales office, where I have been working these last two years, and which gave me the chance to prepare for this new role. I will now further strengthen the bond between the company and the outside world, transfer information from the company to the agents and fully support them in their relationship with clients, no matter whether industry or retailers."
The objectives for the near future and the actions to be carried out to reach them were presented at the meeting. A 5% increase in sales for the Italian market is being targeted, thanks also to the relaunch of industry and the increasingly greater recognition by clients of the value that quality and service have.
"We presented our new products to the agents, products that are strongly aimed at technologies for saving energy, and we spoke about the intention of bringing clients to the company more often so they not only recognise the quality behind our pumps, but so they can also see how a pump is produced fully in one single factory. Quite a rarity these days. In the same manner, we feel it is fundamentally important to visit the clients and install a relationship that is not just professional but also human, as can already be seen in our after sales service: it is definitely not a call centre, but an office where those who call will always find a technician ready to answer every question".

The history of Calpeda Iberica starts in November of 2004 in Cerdanyola del Vallès, a small city near Barcelona. Calpeda Iberica was founded in the last phase of the golden period of the Spanish economy. Unfortunately, the crisis began a pair of years after and interrupted the initial plans of the subsidiary. Today the situation is clearly improving and the sales are recovering and growing again.
This growth is based on three basic pillars: the quality of the division's service, the delivery efficiency and the quality of Calpeda's products. These aspects strengthen and maintain the confidence of the customers towards Calpeda Iberica and bring the division to a winning position inside the Spanish market.
Calpeda Iberica has seven locations on the territory to be closer to the customers: • Galicia (North-west); • Madrid (Center); • Catalunya (East); • Levante (Mediterranean area); • Balearic Islands; • Andalucia (South); • Aragon and Basque Country.
Here is Calpeda Iberica team:
Jesus leads the Spanish subsidiary of Calpeda. He decides the present and future strategies of the company.
David manages the sales and the daily activities of the salesmen throughout the country. He is responsible of the commercial department and of the general sales budget.
Mercedes attends to all the internal procedures of the subsidiary to achieve daily success and leads the internal team that works on bids and administrative tasks. The team consists in Oscar Abeleira (bids), Miriam Luque (purchasing dept.) and Montse Rosique (invoicing).
The numbers in Calpeda Iberica depend on Lidia. She guarantees the financial health of the subsidiary in reference to banks, etc… and helps the subsidiary achieve the goals of the company

Well, someone's lying: Tottenham denies claims from Ajax, de Boer
Apr 30, 2014, 10:26 AM EDT
Tottenham Hotspur has issued a statement denying comments from both Ajax and its manager Frank de Boer, who alleged the London club had inquired about the availability of the coach's services for 2014/15.
In a logical world, this would mean de Boer was out of the running for the gig should it even open up… but this is soccer.
If Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy (above) really has interest in the man who's led Ajax to four-straight Eredivisie titles, he'll pursue him (if he isn't already, which seems likely).
It's a strong statement, with all-CAPS and everything:
"Reports that we have made approaches to other clubs regarding coaching staff are wholly inaccurate.
"We have NOT contacted any club regarding coaching appointments.
"We regret that a statement such as this is necessary, however we feel it is important to clarify matters."
We read talk of successorship at big clubs enough that it isn't wholly bizarre, but the way Spurs have handled themselves dating back to Andre Villas-Boas' ouster is pretty worthy of head-scratching. Sure, current manager Tim Sherwood's tenure has been anything but ordinary (He boasts a decent win-loss record but has been smoked by big teams). But the way names like van Gaal, Pochettino and de Boer keep popping up has to be as annoying for Spurs fans as it is for the other parties involved. It's lose-lose-lose.

Rebel tenants threaten Inntrepreneur sale
Thursday 17 July 1997
Most of the rebels, which represent about a third of the company's tenants, are thought to be determined to take legal action against Inntrepreneur over their existing leases, which analysts believe could cost the group up to pounds 350m in damages. The move casts another shadow over GrandMet's proposed pounds 23bn merger with Guinness.
Inntrepreneur recognises that it could be forced to settle with many of the tenants in order to dispose of the business through a flotation, trade sale or management buyout. "We will have to find a solution to these problems," said Mike Foster, Inntrepreneur's chief executive, yesterday.
Inntrepreneur is considering chopping its sale price to take account of outstanding litigation or providing warranties to a purchaser to cover future legal liabilities. But it may have to break the group up and only sell those pubs which accept the new deal.
Julian Maitland-Walker, who runs Somerset-based solicitors Maitland Walker and represents more than 200 Inntrepreneur tenants, said yesterday: "There is no guarantee Retail Link will continue to provide beer discounts after September 1998. It would not be in the interest of new owners to give a discount which would cost pounds 40m a year so I have advised my clients to reject the deal."
The rebel tenants have battled with Inntrepreneur over the past eight years. They believe they have been forced to pay extortionate prices for their beer under existing 20-year leases. "Tied pubs had to pay 30 per cent more for their beer in some cases and they clearly got no benefits from being within Inntrepreneur. We will take legal action to recover these damages," said Mr Maitland-Walker.

The state of Minnesota is preparing to issue bonds that will cover the public share of the new Vikings stadium.
Minnesota Management and Budget issued what's known as a "request for proposal" on Monday. It's a formal notice to financial institutions that want to help underwrite the $498 million taxpayer share of the $1 billion stadium. The budget office says the stadium bonds will be executed over a period of about two years.
Financial institutions have until Oct. 9 to submit proposals, and the state says more than one could be chosen. Firms are required to submit information about previous government underwriting and other details about their operations.
The Vikings organization is responsible for the other roughly $477 million of the new stadium. Groundbreaking is planned for November.

PU cancels admission of students from CMJ university

The Panjab University (PU) has decided to cancel the admission of all the students from Chandra Mohan Jha (CMJU) University, Shillong, who took admission in various departments of the university in the current academic session.
The decision was announced in the Syndicate meeting of the university held on Saturday, when the members brought the matter on the table. It was also decided that a legal opinion would be sought on the issue of continuing the next session of students, who had graduated from CMJU in the session 2011-12, and have already completed their first year in Panjab University.
The issue first came to light, after the Newsline reported that students of the alleged university were occupying the majority of seats during admissions in various departments. Courses like sociology, public administration and political science, witnessed their admissions in significant numbers.
It was also noted that the majority of these students had secured more than 75 per cent in their last qualifying examination from the university. Due to this, even students in the UT pool, with 5 per cent weightage could not claim seats in the respective departments.
The alleged university, which was established by the government of Meghalaya in the year 2009, is under the scanner for issuing as many as 434 degrees during the session 2012-13.
The governor of Meghalaya has also lodged an FIR against the university for committing various acts of corruption, which also includes issuing fake degrees to students. University Grant Commission (UGC) has also put up a notice regarding the university on its website, informing the general public that the governor of Meghalaya has recommended the dissolution of the university.

Sevan beach season 2011
This year, authorities decided to respect the ordinary people's right to spend their weekends on the shore of "Armenian sea" - Lake Sevan.
Primarily, it was planned to open the beach season on June 15-16, regardless of the weather. However, it turned out that the season will open by July 1. Closure date is not known yet. Meanwhile, meteorologists promise habitual hot summer in Armenia, within the norms.
June 16, 2011
PanARMENIAN.Net - Sevan conquers back its territory
To the pleasure of ecologists and a horror of the owners of nearshore constructions, the level of water in the lake keeps rising. In 2010, the water level in the lake increased by 46 cm compared to 2009, and made 1899,71 meters as of December 31, 2010. The government of Armenia plans to raise the water level in the lake by 20 cm annually. According to the schedule, in 2031, the water level in Sevan is to rise up to 1903,5 meters. The water overflow brings forth the necessity of purification from both constructions and from nearby forests. In 2010, 174 hectares of area were purified; this year it is planned to purify 283 hectares.
Free beaches for holidaymakers
This year, the authorities decided to favor not only foreign tourists and local holidaymakers, ready to pay lots of money for having a rest exclusively on paid shores and expensive hotels but also ordinary people wishing to spend weekends on the shore of "the Armenian sea". Namely for this reason, two first public beaches will be prepared soon, one of which will occupy 1.47 hectares on the Sevan peninsula, while another will take 0.67 hectares of the territory, adjoining to the city beach of Sevan town. These beaches are expected to be absolutely free of charge for visitors. Over the past two decades, majority of beaches were made paid, with local "entrepreneurs" grabbing money from those having a rest at "no man's" beaches. This year, authorities pledges to combat such unlawfulness and impose penalties on the "businessmen" aspired for illegal profits.
We are not so rich to spend holidays in Armenia
Local tour agents are displeased with the fact that majority of Armenian people prefer to arrange their holiday schedule themselves. Meanwhile, the experience shows that prices for rest in Armenia are so high that for residents with an average income it is more advantageous to spend a vacation in the neighboring Georgia and Turkey.
However, according to head of Armenian Hotel Association Hakob Hakobyan, Armenian resorts will host more holidaymakers, as the hotel prices in Batumi and Antalya have considerably gone up. Hakobyan believes that 10 days in Georgia and Turkey for a 4-member will cost about $3000-$4000 while the holiday in Armenia will take about $1200.
It seems that Hakobyan meant prices for 5* Turkish and Georgian hotels which are, regretfully, not affordable for an average Armenian resident yet. However, Hakobyan withheld about the prices for similar hotels in Armenia, where a 10-day stay in a 5* hotel will cost around $1500 per one person.
Price dispersion for Sevan
Armenian travel agencies assert that, although the price list has not been made up yet, the rest on the Lake Sevan will cost local and foreign tourist, on the average, from AMD5000-35.000 and over. For AMD5000 (nearly $13) per day the tourist will be offered a cottage and breakfast. Whereas a double room in hotels on the very shore will cost tourists minimum AMD35 000 (some $93), not speaking about multi-star hotels with their own beaches, where you will spend $150 per person a day on average.
Sevan, Sirs!
Despite a striking beauty and energy, Sevan is not popular among foreign tourists, because of the lack of advertisement. Foreign tourists are lucky to see Sevan only if they find attractive tourist package.
Sevan is not to blame
Most people like Sevan in winter, when it is severe, steel-blue surrounded by snowy mountains, and in summer, when it is turquoise blue, glittering in the sun. They love its changing weather, cool water, frequent cold winds and sun burns, but not stiff prices for good hotels and untolerable conditions for affordable prices. They do not like "free" paid beaches, when they have to pay for possibility to rest one day on the shore, those bribe-takers and sand heaped up with food and other wastes. People don't also like the water with plastic bottles and cups floating on the surface, as well as boggy beaches, infinite frogs in the lake. But Sevan is not absolutely to blame.
