Minoo Masani in 1957 went all the way from Bombay to Ranchi to contest the election for a seat in the Lok Sabha. He was of course looking for a safe seat, a seat where the sway of the Congress would not be so complete as in most parts of the country then. Masani won but never went back to contest another election there.
Twenty years later, in 1977, Mangalore-born George Fernandes fought elections from Muzaffarpur in Bihar. He won and became a Union minister in the Janata Dal government headed by Morarji Desai. His royal socialist comrade from the south, Ravindra Varma, too fought from Ranchi, Bihar, and won. He became labour and parliamentary affairs minister.
The Indian electoral law does not bar Indians from contesting from anywhere in the country as long as their names are registered as a voter in one constituency or the other. But while political candidates, like birds, migrate from inhospitable conditions in search of more congenial places, not all candidates can hope to contest an election too far away from their home bases and do well.
Only the prominent, the popular or the desperate can afford the movement into the unknown. Candidates with clout too. The 'outsider' tag does not affect their fortunes because they are not contesting local, municipal elections but are fighting for a place in Parliament, where they are expected to discuss national issues and help draft laws for the country. So, even as some unpopular candidates move to winnable seats, the movement makes little difference to the big-league players.
Break the Mugs
There is growing unease in the EC at the reports of sporadic poll violence coming in from different parts of the country. Even in an urban constituency like Bangalore South, supporters of Nandan Nilekani and Ananth Kumar came to blows, putting paid to what was expected to be a informed debate. Meanwhile, in a Haryana village, a Dalit gets thrashed for speaking up in favour of a political party. But unlike earlier, Babu Lal of Ali Mohammed village in Sirsa did get to complain to the police. The men in uniform appear to be 'prudently' hedging their bets though. No action's been taken till now.
The Speakeasies
An inability to communicate effectively in Hindi or Urdu has been the bane of the Congress in the heartland. Speakers at BJP rallies are no better although they do speak better Hindi and rehearse their lines. The AAP boys are the surprise pack as they effortlessly switch to the local dialect, recite poems and local sayings, crack jokes even as Urdu poetry and Sanskrit shlokas roll off their tongue. No wonder AAP leaders like Anand Kumar, Sanjay Singh and Kumar Vishwas are big hits with the crowd. If speeches win polls, AAP should be home and dry in east UP.
Pagan Gods
Birsa Munda, the only tribal hero to find a place in the central hall of Parliament, died at the turn of the century in 1900 rebelling against the British and the landlords and is hailed as a freedom fighter. The hero has a pervasive presence in Jharkhand today, with everything from the prison to the airport named after him. So no surprises that even Mamatadi's party manifesto proudly claims that 'Birsa Bhagwan' spearheaded the rebellion on the soil of Bengal. While the dadas snigger, the TMC is technically correct: both Bihar and Orissa were part of the Bengal Presidency at the time.
"Even if Ramdev steps out for laghu shanka, a crowd of 2,000 appears."
Baba Ramdev
The yoga guru on his popularity, saying he can't even step out 'for a piss' (he used the Hindi equivalent first) in peace.

Candidates should rather contest from constituencies they belong to (Poll Waltz, Apr 14) so that they at least have some idea of local problems (although they are mostly there to serve broader national interests). I do recall great parliamentarians like Minoo Masani making significant contributions while being in the opposition. But does anyone know of his contributions to dustbowl Ranchi as an MP?

Those who resort to the language of the gutter in election speeches must immediately be banned from the elections. Will our netas and their hangers-on ever mature and learn to actually debate the issues of the nation at an intellectual level?
Vinod Kumar B., Bangalore
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
The population of an average Lok Sabha constituency may be anywhere around 20 lakhs - from 15 lakhs to over 25 lakhs. A rank outsider should essentially contest from the constituency he actually belongs or has resided atleast for a specified period so that the candidate recognises (or aware of) the problems of his/her cosnstituency even though such a person works with broader national interests!
I do recall great Parliamentarians like Minoo Masani have made significant contribution to our Nation while being in the Opposition. I do not know what was his contribution to Ranchi as an MP?. May be the voters in the constituency elect such contestants in the larger interests of the Nation!!

'Cry' Of A Shredded Star Heralds A New Era For Testing Relativity
- Uploaded by Herbert on Aug 4, 2012

This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. QPOs have been seen in many stellar-mass black holes, and there is tantalizing evidence for them in a few black holes that may have middleweight masses between 100 and 100,000 times the sun's.
Until the new finding, QPOs had been detected around only one supermassive black hole — the type containing millions of solar masses and located at the centers of galaxies. That object is the Seyfert-type galaxy REJ 1034+396, which at a distance of 576 million light-years lies relatively nearby.
On March 28, 2011, NASA's Swift detected intense X-ray flares thought to be caused by a black hole devouring a star. In one model, illustrated here, a sun-like star on an eccentric orbit plunges too close to its galaxy's central black hole. About half of the star's mass feeds an accretion disk around the black hole, which in turn powers a particle jet that beams radiation toward Earth.

Israeli academics call on pilots to disobey orders to bomb Iran
Hundreds of people, including academicians, have signed a petition calling on Israeli pilots to disobey their seniors, should they receive orders to bombard Iran. More than 400 people, including Menachem Mautner, the former dean of law at Tel Aviv University; Anat Biletzki, the former head of the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem; and Nurith Gertz of Sapir College, signed the document circulated online. They warn that an attack on the Islamic Republic would harm Israelis and lead to the capture of the pilots themselves. They addressed the air force "out of a deep sense of concern" regarding the situation Israel would face in a possible military showdown with Iran. "We don't know your names," the document stated. "We do know one thing -- at this moment our fate, our very future, lies very much in your hands." The petition acknowledged those who refused orders could face serious consequences, but insisted that they "also have the option of saying no" instead of "blind obedience" to the bombing orders. The document warned about retaliatory attacks by Iranian forces besides the possibility of radioactive materials leaking and harming Iranian people -- in case of an attack on Iran's nuclear sites -- as well as a global financial disaster. The writers of the petition also concluded that a strike against Iran's nuclear energy program would not halt it but ideally delay it. Mautner said he did not mean to address the pilots but rather the decision makers. "I will sign anything that could avert the greatest disaster Israel faces since it was founded." Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have dismissed the repeated Israeli threats of military action against the Islamic Republic, warning that the mistake of launching such an attack would spell the end of the Israeli regime. A number of senior Iranian military commanders have also emphasized that in case of any attack on Iran, the conflict will certainly expand well beyond the region. MRS/AS

Nor does Obama acknowledge that his amnesty is available for illegals as old as 31. It's also interesting that he keeps on referring to parents. If some of the "DREAMers" are in a difficult position, the fault is with their parents for making breaking our laws, not America for having immigration laws.
This Spanish language pandering is nothing new for Barack Obama. In 2008, he ran Spanish ads attacking John McCain because his "friend" Rush Limbaugh had supposedly said "stupid and unskilled Mexicans" and that all immigrants must "shut your mouth or you get out!" Besides the fact that anyone who listens to Rush Limbaugh knows he is not fond of John McCain, Obama intentionally took both clips completely out of context.
Limbaugh was not calling all Mexicans stupid and unskilled, he was only referring to Mexicans who were taking low skilled jobs. Perhaps it was a broad brush to apply to unskilled workers, but certainly not meant to apply to Mexicans. The comment about telling immigrants to "shut up or get out" were from a clip where Limbaugh was describing Mexico's immigration laws, where foreigners who engage in political protests can be deported.
For all his claims that Republicans are anti-Hispanics, these ads show that Obama and the Democrats clearly view Hispanics as little more than a voting block that can be manipulated by lies and racial appeals. Hopefully, patriotic Hispanics voters will prove them wrong.

It's striking stuff--definitely not easy listening, but well worth the effort, even if it feels like a slightly lopsided affair, with the final four tracks overshadowed by one terrifically effective and truly inventive epic.
Jaumet might have Carl Craig hovering over him but he's not entirely in his shadow, and Night Music is his own diamond-encrusted carriage, which he rides through the small hours with no risk of ever becoming a pumpkin.
With Carl Craig producing, Jaumet offers a fittingly stripped-down suite of tense, stomach-churning tracks. Dappled with oily synth slicks, frittered timbres and blacklight radiance, it can be a heavy listen.

Fabric stores sell material that is light proof and used for window blackout curtains in hotels. The stuff I got was white but is really light proof (maybe 99% in bright sunlight). I cut my material in long lengths corresponding to 2x the long dimension of my filmholders, and about 1" oversize on the width. I took the material to my local dry-cleaners where they have a lady that does alterations. I explained how I wanted the material sewed. She charged me $20 to do 4 bags as I described. I used stick-on velcro on the material that makes up the flap. Works very well in the noonday sun at altitude.

``The Descent" is a new British horror movie that leaves us exactly where we want to be at a film about six women stranded in a cave several miles underground -- afraid of how in the dark we are, literally and otherwise.
It all begins with a lack of promise. Sarah (Shauna Macdonald ) loses her husband and daughter in a car accident. A year later she joins some friends, a group of outdoorsy types, for spelunking and rock-climbing in North Carolina . The women giggle about one friend's pajamas, talk about men, and throw food at each other. It all feels like the start of a bad lesbian drama or an ad for herbal tea. But we're meant to savor the cheesiness. This is as happy as things get.
It seems that in her quest for pioneering glory, Sarah's ultra-jock pal, Juno (Natalie Mendoza ), has intentionally left the guidebook in the car and led the gang into a cave that wasn't on the itinerary. (``That other cave was for tourists," she sneers.) The ladies find themselves lost and clueless about how to get out. (The mysterious scribbling on the wall might be trying to tell them something. Maybe that an M. Night Shyamalan film is playing in the adjacent cave.)
Being trapped is a terrible situation for them and great news for us, because right around the time that Holly (Nora-Jane Noone ), the ``mentalist who jumps off buildings," plummets down a hole and breaks her leg, the movie starts to treat us to the unspeakable wickedness that surrounds them. Namely, it's a gang of perfectly evolved, pale-skinned batmen, who look like fanged condoms. The cave is their home, and these girls are what's for dinner.
Before the feasting begins there is plenty of time to appreciate that these women will not be easy prey. They're brave, resourceful, educated, athletic, willing to fight, and their clothes stay on. (For lad-mag subscribers, this summer's wet T-shirt drought persists.) The movie doesn't do too much to flesh out all six women. So since five are from the United Kingdom I was forced to label them: Spiky Spice, Passive-Aggressive Spice, Post-Traumatic Spice, etc.
Selfish Juno appears to be the lone American; her decision to drag a bunch of unsuspecting Englishpeople into hostile territory under false pretenses might strike some as a tad presidential. Really, though, she's a woman who will stop at nothing to survive. She's actually Sigourney Spice.
It's nice to get a British movie that stars no dames, although you can imagine a sequel set 30 years later, with Judi Dench as Sarah and Helen Mirren as Juno, rappelling alongside Imelda Staunton and Julie Walters . I'll let them fight over who'd be Old Spice.
Until then, ``The Descent" works quite effectively. Writer-director Neil Marshall has some fun with the woman-in-jeopardy conventions of the slasher-horror flicks from the 1970s and 1980s . And the gotcha editing and use of shadows give the movie mischievous style.
Mercifully, this is not the hackwork you expect from a Lions Gate release. A Shakespearean seed of doubt is planted about one of the women's motives, and a functioning video camera contributes a texture of grainy, ghoulish realism to the proceedings. (That device actually makes you realize the film might be too polished, and that the illusion of truth digital video creates would have made the movie enjoyably harder to take.)
Otherwise there are the women themselves to admire. Of course, one doesn't pique our interest until she's vengeful and blood-soaked, evoking the ghost of Sissy Spacek's prom-night Carrie. Her graduation from scaredy-cat to wraith-like superhero is perfect for a movie whose characters wend their way through a rocky womb and its birth-canal labyrinths only to pop triumphantly through the earth at the end. That's when we know we've witnessed something special. A cult classic is born.

This was my first time seeing Evita and it was everything I had hoped and more. The singing was wonderful. Everyone did a fantastic job.
Also, thank you Goldstar, we had great seats.

This production did not seem as powerful as those I've seen before. Perhaps the vocals just needed more volume on the mics, but I wasn't dazzled by this Evita. We had left side balcony seats and they were VERY cramped.

Seats were very good - First Tier, right side of center, on the aisle. Voices were wonderful, costumes well-tailored, stage set quite good. The negative side had nothing to do with last night's production, but simply with my own feeling about...continued

Entertaining Works by Andrew B. MyersJuxtapoz // Saturday, October 08, 2011
Andrew B. Myers' work uses simple everyday observations to make clever cracks at habits and annoyances we can all relate to. His work focuses on the everyday, but seems to encompass the general humor of human behavior with these beautifully minimal works. Here we have a selection of his works from the later part of this year.

First Look: John Adams on HBO
When I think of fascinating historical figures, John Adams isn't necessarily one who jumps out at me. But maybe that's because I just don't know enough about him yet. After all, as executive producer Tom Hanks says in the preview for HBO's upcoming John Adams miniseries, "If I had been told this at any time in my educational career, it would have blown my little skull."

This is a post that has been sitting in my drafts folder since last July. I think it's okay to share this with the world now.
July 19, 2014 was a day for a very personal victory for me; I didn't realize I would be facing phobias that I've suppressed while competing in the 2014 Warrior Dash at Horseshoe Valley in Barrie, Ontario.
Before you go & (playfully) say, "but your Batman!", you gotta understand that as a child I was claustrophobic & afraid of heights. I didn't even crawl under my bed once as a kid…
At Warrior Dash today, when having to crawl underneath wood over dirt & gravel, on my elbows & knees, I reminded myself of how running has made me more mentally tougher, and that I could do it, because the phobia is no longer defining me. Staring up at a 30-foot wall of rope, and going around it was not going to be an option, I said to myself "I'm going to conquer you – you're not stopping me!"
With each obstacle finished, I whispered to myself 'claimed', because I took back a little piece of myself away from fear that use to grip me.
It took us, my son & I, one hour & 20 minutes to finish, with mud kicked in my eye (literally), climbing hills, walls, under barbwire & over fire… and loving every minute of it. My training for marathons and other races learned a lesson today – danger is real, but fear is a choice.
While waiting for the shuttle bus back to the car, someone said to me that Tough Mudder has a 17k course. Hmmm…that sounds…tempting…

Big chalices let you throw down Spine of Ish Sah, sac it to the throne and get it back proliferating whatever. Its kind of budget, I just happened to have emrakul lying around. Please comment and whatnot.

I would get some more infect in your creatures. I know this isn't the main plan for the deck, but it seems like with all the proliferating you are doing there is no reason not to. I don't think you need Treasure Mage or really Enclave Cryptologist . I think you would do better to put in some cheap creature that can get infect on the board and let you proliferate to the end. Blighted Agent might suit you well as well as Ichorclaw Myr .
You also need to lose just a couple artifacts to get to at least 22 lands. 20 just seems like it is destined for inconsistency. Maybe cut one Everflowing Chalice and one Culling Dais ?

Comprehensive approach to improving workplace nutrition in Chile: Public-Private Partnership

The study shows that workplace meal programmes providing convenient access to healthy food can help prevent micronutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases, including obesity and diabetes.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: phranque
Can't seem to find anything regarding this online, and honestly it sounds a bit nitpicky to me. But it did get my curiosity stirred a bit. :) Anyone notice any "standard" in this?
I agree. In the US, I'd even go so far as to say it dates the material if any prefix is included in ad material. I'm not sure about instructional copy, I will say that the "http://www." seems like unnecessary noise to me, but I'd bet excluding it might draw a few complaints from those obsessive-compulsive types that actually read instructions.
About 18 months ago, I consulted on the development of a state road & waterway map for a particular region. This question was something of a big deal. Many wanted the full url of the matching site on the cover, I wanted just the domain.... I knew the project director, so I won. It looks great.
However, as soon as you start adding specific filenames onto the end, the whole symmetry thing gets blown out the window, so I generally add the http:// back on the beginning: http*//www.domain.com/directory/file.htm
There is no established standard, like there is for biliographic citations or whatnot. I don't think the librarians have gotten around to the URL question yet. ;)
(edited by: mivox at 7:26 pm (utc) on May 13, 2002)
A google search with the keyword phrase < internet style guide url > turns up citation guidelines at various institutions.
The American Library Association and the Library of Congress might be a good place to look too.
Apple Style Guide, Yale Style Manual, GE - Standards and Guidelines are worth looking at.
For example in our publications, distributed in print and PDF, the copyright page includes the statement, "An electronic copy of this document is available on our web site, www.domain.org."
BUT, when we put URLs in our printed materials pointing to specific pages within ours or another web site that we can trust will be there, we do include the protocol. For example, in bibliographies or footnotes where we point to a government document. The key considerations for us are that the URL is stable and highly likely to be correct for a long time, doesn't require registration to reach, and is one or more levels down from the root directory.
The only place I use the http:// is in an email or something similar as a hyperlink.
"If my domain is the source I may say something like this."
- from domain.com
The thing I hate is websites that don't resolve when I don't type in the www part. Like [icann.org...] does not work. I think it is important for not dot COMs to resolve to the non-www. When I type a domain name I type "Domain Ctrl-Enter" That takes me to "www.domain.com" But when I have to go to ICANN I type "ICANN.org", then remember they are screwed up and go back and add the www part.
Actually, that works for me just fine. It is an ISP issue.
It is a prestige symbol, ie: vanity, a must have.
I cater to many who will buy a domain name off me just for the prestige of having their stationary and business cards printed with a www.whatever.com printed on it.
Taking into account that the name that they own is the only .com in the World.
Many can replicate the TLD but there is only one .COM, so if you have it why not flaunt it.
Works for me.
