Land allotment cases: Shah Commission gives clean chit to Narendra Modi government
Ahmedabad: A judicial commission probing corruption charges against the Narendra Modi government has given a "clean chit" to it in nine land allotment cases, an official spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The one-man commission of Justice M B Shah has submitted its interim report which has found no illegality in land allotments, state spokesperson Jaynarayan Vyas said.
"The commission has submitted an interim report on its findings and concluded that the state government has adhered to proper procedures of land allotment and no illegality has been committed," said Vyas, who is also a minister.
The report was today placed before the Cabinet which met under chairmanship of Modi and comes on a day when the Election Commission announced Assembly poll dates in Gujarat.
"The report says the government had followed proper procedures and pricing of land while making allotments to industrial houses. The entire procedure was done appropriately," Vyas maintained.
The inquiry panel was asked to probe 15 allegations of corruption and on nine points (related to land), the Modi government has been given "clean chit", he claimed.
The commission under Justice Shah, a retired Supreme Court judge, was set up on August 16, 2011 by the BJP government to probe allegations of corruption leveled against it by the Congress. Among other charges, the Opposition party had accused the Modi government of showing favouritism toward certain industrial houses in land allotments.
Under its terms of reference, the panel was also to study and compare with other states the manner in which land had been allocated to industries, analyse sales and commercial taxes, stamp duty and all tax concessions and difference of taxes vis-a-vis those states with Gujarat.
The Commission was initially slated to submit its report by March. But the government extended its term for further six months till September.
"As the inquiry into the remaining six points are still pending, the government will short decide on giving further extension to the commission," Vyas said.

Unbelievably ironic for this century.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cries Unheard: the Story of Mary Bell (Hardcover)
The book itself was very well written and must have been very difficult to listen to such horror,both from the victims families,but also Mary Bell herself. I also do not condone what she did, but I can believe the anger she felt inside, which unfortunatly spilled over to the unthinkable act of murder. What is hard to come to terms with is the way Mary was treated by the system, and why on earth was no help given to her during these years? I do think she now has started to build her life again with the help of her child, and someday this child will learn what her mother had done, this is inevitable, and again Mary will have to face many months of healing. I hope in time our legal system will start to listen to these children who commit these terrible crimes, instead of just branding them evil, after all no child is born evil, only people make them so.

Philip Dawes says:
Who was the real murderer of the two infants Martin Brown and Brian Howe? Certainly, not Mary Bell, for she was the psychological and physical victim of repeated sexual abuse by her mother, a prostitute, and her clients. No child can withstand repeated sexual abuse by her mother without leaving very deep psychological and emotional scars. Therefore, under an ethical and intelligent system of law the person who should have stood trial for murder of the two infants would have been Mary's mother, and Mary would have received regression therapy until her deep scars were healed.

Flora Cake says:
I find it extraordinary that there is no 'culpability' law for parents of children who kill. It doesn't apply to all, but when it does, as in this case, there is no doubt that Bell was horrifically abused by her mother and other adults, but no one was held accountable.

Sheila writes: Today, October 30, is the 75th anniversary of the historic 1938 "War of the Worlds" broadcast, presented by Orson Welles and his merry band of Mercury Theater friends. In Peter Bogdanovich's book "This is Orson Welles", Welles tells Bogdanovich: "Six minutes after we'd gone on the air, the switchboards in radio stations right across the country were lighting up like Christmas trees. Houses were emptying, churches were filling up; from Nashville to Minneapolis there was wailing in the street and the rending of garments. Twenty minutes in, and we had a control room full of very bewildered cops. They didn't know who to arrest or for what, but they did lend a certain tone to the remainder of the broadcast. We began to realize, as we plowed on with the destruction of New Jersey, that the extent of our American lunatic fringe had been underestimated." Bogdanovich later says to Welles, "The Martian broadcast didn't really hurt you at all. Would you say it was lucky?" Welles replied, "Well, it put me in the movies. Was that lucky? I don't know." Here is the original radio broadcast in all its mockumentary glory.

Amish, Mystery and Suspense Novels
From the Back Porch
I'm writing today's blog from the back porch. In Texas, the back porch is where important things happen–it's where we sip sweet tea, watch the dear, talk to family, and meet with friends. It's where we go when we need quiet time, devotional time, prayer time. My husband pointed out that we don't technically have a back porch. We have a back deck, but it's the same thing in my opinion. My video starts in the back yard and ends up at the deck, where I do my sitting, resting, praying, even working.
Announcements for this week:
- An Amish Cradle is $1.99 (ebook only) May 2nd-May 8th. ** Amazon ** B&N ** CBD
- Shelley Shepard Gray and I are finalizing plans for our Girlfriends Getaway in Charm, OH. If you're interested in attending, but haven't made your reservation, email Laurie at email@example.com.
- Deep Shadows is now available for pre-order. This is the first book in my new dystopian series. Don't know what dystopian is? Read the blurb for Deep Shadows here. For Amazon, the pre-order price is guaranteed, so if the price goes down before the item is released, you receive the lower price. **Amazon ** B&N ** CBD.
- My May rafflectopter giveaway is now live. Check here for details. This week's giveaway includes something I picked up in Shipshewana, a $10 Starbucks card and more!
Time to close down the computer and just enjoy sitting on the back porch. I hope you enjoyed today's video, and I'd love to hear about YOUR back porch, or wherever you go to relax. Leave a comment on the blog, and I'll draw a winner to receive a complimentary copy of the book of your choice from my book list.

By Rick Warren
— May 21, 2014
"I'm in deep trouble Lord! Rush to my aid, for only you can help and save me." Psalm 70:5 (LB)
"It takes honesty and humility to admit our need and say like David, 'I am in deep trouble Lord! Rush to my aid, for only you can help and save me'"
Have you ever gotten yourself into such a mess that you knew there was no way you could get out of it on your own? Whether it was getting your car stuck or getting so lost you didn't know where you were, you needed a rescuer.
But how easy was it for you to ask for help?
The Bible is full of situations where people needed to be rescued – Adam and Eve, Joseph, Moses, Jonah, the people of Israel. They all needed a rescuer, a savior. But not all of them found it so easy to ask for help. Why? Pride.
It's hard to admit we need someone else's help. If we do, people might think we're weak or foolish or somehow less perfect than the image we like to project. But the Bible says, "You rescue those who are humble" (Psalm 18:27 NLT).
Jesus is the ultimate rescuer. He came to earth to save all humanity through his death and resurrection. "Jesus Christ … gave himself to rescue all of us" (1 Timothy 2:5 CEV).
But that means you need to admit that you need rescuing. Jesus does not save people who think they don't need saving, or rescuing, or deliverance.
It takes honesty and humility to admit our need and say like David, "I am in deep trouble Lord! Rush to my aid, for only you can help and save me" (Psalm 70:5 LB).
That's all you have to do. Just accept his grace, his mercy, and his love. But make sure you swallow your pride first.

Streaker's court appearance moved

Relevant offers
Forsyth Barr Stadium streaker Adam Steven Holtslag has had his case transferred to his home city of Christchurch.
Holtslag was scheduled to appear in the Dunedin District Court on a charge of offensive behaviour this morning. No date had yet been set, police said.
The 28-year-old builder's naked run on to the field at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday night during a rugby international between the All Blacks and the England Lions became a Youtube sensation in a matter of hours.
The streaker was brought down by a forceful tackle from security guard Bred Hemopo, causing Holtslag's head to snap back sharply.
The streak and the tackle have been the subject of a tirade of criticism on social media around the actions of both men.
However, Hemopo's action was reviewed by stadium management Dunedin Venues Management on Monday and the guard was exonerated from any wrongdoing.
Dunedin Venues Management boss Terry Davies said Holtslag should not have been on the field and Hemopo had done his job in minimising risk to players.

ask for the room with the view of the airport runway across the hotel so you can see aeroplanes landing and taking off or simply parked. (Shahshamshiri)Thu Mar 03 02:03:55 CST 2016
Ask for a quiet room. You may not have views but you will sleep better. (Andrea D)Tue Jan 26 00:36:38 CST 2016
Ask for quiet floors. (Nidlafis)Mon Jan 18 19:54:42 CST 2016
High up may have a view of some water but not sure. It is near a university. (D_corey_13)Mon Dec 14 13:55:28 CST 2015
Rooms with airport view is more preferable to me. (AzizOfEgypt)Sun Dec 13 07:53:26 CST 2015

"Quite, clean and close to the airport"
Reviewed April 29, 2016 Trip type: Business
Great place that gives you good value for your money. Only comment would be make sure your non-smoking rooms be rented only to non-smoking guests. The airport shuttle was very helpful for the trip back to the airport. Coming in it would be great if there was a way for first timers to know what time the these shuttles run.

Unless you're fluent in Japanese, you won't be able to read anything on the Amuse Soft Entertainment site other than "Crying Girl," but that's all you need to know. The Crying Girl DVD features 11 women "crying in earnest." According to promotional materials and this rockin' guitar-backed video, here are a few scenarios that bring on the heartache:
And here are some of the activities they engage in while tearing up:
InventorSpot reports "men in Japan need to have their 'conquering instinct' stoked up, and the way to do this is by watching women cry." Clearly this would be a perfect gift for the guy in your life, but Crying Girl isn't available until March 26. Maybe you could become Crying Girl by sobbing without explanation. It'll be the best Valentine's Day ever!
Related Note: Cryinggirl.com redirects to Clumsy Congregation, a site devoted to a pretty great band named Uzi & Ari. Here's a video from that page, but it doesn't include any crying -- unless it's taking place underneath fox masks.
Game of Thrones has mercilessly killed off characters over the years, but these lesser characters are still waiting to meet their fate.
What movies other than Rat Race could be improved by the surprising entrance of Smash Mouth?
Airbrush those disgusting wrinkles. Return their flesh to childlike purity.
day 2: still working on the car
Finally, an answer to the question: "what if Predator 2 starred Eric Roberts and was way stupider?"
Awful Links of the Day spotlights the worst and weirdest websites on the internet. And we're not talking "weird" in a good way either.

James Gonzalo Medina, 40, allegedly told FBI informant he wanted to bomb synagogue 'for the glory of Allah.'02:00 03.05.16 | 0 comments
Is it better to say the problem does not exist and to bury your head in the sand? That only European Jews live in the ME, in Israel? This is painting a false portrait of what and who lives in the Middle East and in Israel, that if it had not been for Iraqi and Morrocan refugees starting in the late in the late 'fourties, there would not be a State. This sector has to be respected as much as the newer influx of Russians, most of whom are not even considered Jewish, and then you have the Ethiopians. Israel must learn to integrate in order to survive, as opposed to isolating itself.

4 Practices for Increasing Student Engagement | Edutopia - 0 views
John Evans on 26 Apr 16"Student engagement can be tough all year, but spring fever makes it a bit worse as the weather gets warmer and students' minds wander. After 15 years of teaching, I've learned that a teacher cannot rely on any single solution to keep kids focused on learning. There are so many different ways to get students' attention because there are so many different types of students. However, here are a few ways that have really made a difference in my classes."

Brazilian superyacht builder MCP Yachts credited Seatorque Control Systems for contributing to the outstanding performance of its latest launch – the Hemisphere 140 Raffaella II. Incorporating Seatorque's enclosed drive shaft system, the 43m aluminum vessel, powered by twin Caterpillar C32 1825 HP engines, achieved a top cruising speed of 22 knots during sea trials with an 85% load and 167 metric tons displacement, said MCP president Manoel Chaves. The vessel features a pair M3-400 single-piece Seatorque shaft systems, each 22 ft. long, accommodating the vessel's four-inch diameter shafts.
"The vessel's light weight, propeller design and shaft system all add together to make a huge difference," said Chavez. "In all my years on the water, I have never witnessed a vessel this size with a comparable power package to cruise at this speed. Thanks to Seatorque's enclosed shaft system, the vessel achieved maximum horsepower, experienced zero shaft noise and vibration, and produced very little wake."
Launched in July, Raffaella II is the largest yacht built in Brazil to date and reportedly the largest aluminum yacht ever built in South America. The vessel was designed by MCP in collaboration with Vripack and built at the MCP shipyard in Guarujá . It is the third vessel built by MCP Yachts to include the Seatorque Enclosed Shaft System.
According to Seatorque executive vice president Jana Stolper, the Seatorque Enclosed Shaft System is growing in popularity among superyacht builders, as evidenced by the 2012 installation on the highly-acclaimed McConaghy Yachts Adastra, designed by John Shuttleworth. This futuristic 140-foot trimaran, powered by a single Caterpillar 1,000 HP C18 engine, features an Seatorque ST-300, 32-foot, one-piece enclosed shaft system.
The Seatorque Enclosed Shaft System is a self-contained, oil filled, shaft and thrust bearing assembly designed for yachts of all sizes. The system is supplied as a single unit from the propeller end to the engine input coupling accommodating any length shaft and diameters up to seven inches. Operating as a self-contained unit, the Seatorque system allows propeller thrust to be fielded by internal bearings and delivered through the shaft's mounting system supported by the structure of the vessel, rather than the vessel's engines and isolators. This reduces vibration and noise and increase the life expectancy of the engines and transmission mounts. The Seatorque system connects the shaft to the engine using flexible universal joint assemblies. This eliminates leaking stuffing boxes, seals, cutlass bearings and associated shaft wear. The use of universal joint assemblies also eliminates damaging engine-to-shaft misalignment and reduces installation and alignment time by more than half. The elimination of cutlass bearings and stuffing boxes results in an average eight percent increase in horsepower, allowing for greater fuel economy and range. In addition, water flow is undisturbed by the non-rotating casing of the shaft assembly, allowing clean water flow to the propeller. This translates into an increase of thrust arc around the propeller, contributing to the efficiency of horsepower delivery. "The Seatorque system replaces the traditional multiple-component shaft system with a single piece of equipment that is simple to install and improves the performance and efficiency of any vessel, while greatly reducing shaft noise and vibration," said Stolper. "These are very important benefits for yacht owners, especially those accustomed to long-range travel."
The MCP Hemisphere 140 Raffaella II is the largest yacht built in Brazil to date and the largest aluminum yacht ever constructed in South America. Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 1825 HP engines, Raffaella II achieved a top cruising speed of 22 knots during sea trials producing a minimal wake. The Seatorque Enclosed Shaft System is a self-contained, oil-filled shaft and thrust bearing assembly designed to increase horsepower, fuel economy and engine life while minimizing shaft noise and vibration. The system is supplied as a single unit from the propeller end to the engine input coupling accommodating any length shaft and diameters up to seven inches.
