A decision by Israel's state-owned railway company to sack 150 Arab workers because they have not served in the army has been denounced as "unlawful" and "racist" this week by Arab legal and workers' rights groups.
The new policy, which applies to guards at train crossing points, is being implemented even though the country's Arab citizens — numbering 1.2 million and nearly one-fifth of the total population — have been exempt from serving in the military since Israel's establishment.
Ahmed Tibi, an Arab member of the Israeli parliament, complained to Israel Railways and the attorney general last week, arguing that the move was meant "to cleanse the railways of Arab employees".
"It is an especially grave matter as this is a public company whose operations are meant to benefit all citizens," he said.
The Laborers' Voice, a workers' rights group based in Nazareth, said the new condition of employment was designed to reserve rail jobs for Jews, most of whom are conscripted for three years after finishing school.
It added that Israel Railways was following dozens of other major Israeli firms and thousands of small businesses that keep jobs off limits to Arab workers by defining the roles as security related.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Israel Railways announced last month that all crossing guards would be required to produce a discharge certificate from the army or face dismissal. The first 40 Arab workers received their notices last week, taking effect almost immediately.
Taher Jayousi, 32, from the Arab village of Qalansuwa in central Israel, where 20 of the fired guards live, said they had been told their job would now require them to carry a gun and could therefore be performed only by former soldiers.
One commentator in Haaretz, a liberal daily newspaper, ridiculed the attempt to characterise the guards' role as security related. "A dreamed-up security demand is one of the oldest tricks to reject Arab candidates in job interviews," wrote Avirama Golan.
That assessment is shared by Adalah, an Arab legal group, which has threatened legal action against the transport ministry for violating the sacked workers' constitutional rights.
Adalah said it was relying on a ruling three years ago in which the courts rejected Haifa University's decision to reserve student accommodation for those who had served in the army.
The position of crossing guard was created in 2006 to increase rail safety after five people were killed and more than 80 injured when a train collided with a stranded car at a crossing point. Nearly two-thirds of the 260 guards are reported to be Arabs.
Such other railway jobs as engineer and station staff are already reserved for Jewish workers, said Wahbe Badarne, director of the Laborers' Voice.
Assad Salami, 35, another of the sacked guards from Qalansuwa, said: "Until now, the company could find few Jews who wanted to do guard work for the low wages we're paid.
"But with an economic crisis looming it has the chance to get rid of us and offer our jobs to Jews."
In a statement defending the new policy, Israel Railways said it was intended to provide job opportunities for army veterans, a social benefit the company described as "significant".
Another of the former guards, Ibrahim Nasrallah, 25, said: "What does that say to us if the company is only concerned about reducing the unemployment rate among the Jewish public?"
He said the use of security as a pretext to avoid hiring Arab workers was one he and his family were familiar with.
"My brother is a chef and has been unemployed for the past eight months. Every time he goes to a restaurant and they see he's an Arab they tell him they are only hiring workers who have served in the army. It's crazy — you need to be a former soldier to cook food in Israel!"
Mr Badarne of the Laborers' Voice said he has heard similar stories from other Arab workers.
"Laws against discrimination exist in Israel. The problem is that there appears to be no interest in enforcing them.
"If I go to the shopping mall, even the notices in the windows asking for sales assistants require army service from applicants.
"At least in these cases we can prove that it is racism we are dealing with.
"More sinister, however, is the more recent practice of employers telling Arab applicants that a position is already filled to avoid the threat of legal action. There the racism is veiled."
Large sections of the economy are officially off limits to Arab workers because they fall within what Israel defines as its security industries, especially weapons manufacturers, the airports and national airline, ports and refineries, and the various security agencies.
But he said many large state-owned corporations that are not involved in security fields were also reluctant to employ Arabs, sending a message to smaller firms that discrimination was legitimate.
According to figures provided in 2004 by Nachman Tal, a former deputy head of the Shin Bet, the domestic security service, only six of the 13,000 employees of the Israeli Electricity Corp were Arabs.
Ehud Olmert, Israel's former prime minister, admitted racial discrimination was rife in a speech to the parliament in December. "It is terrible that there is not even one Arab employee [out of 900] at the Bank of Israel."
Of the civil service, he added: "There is no arguing that some government ministries did not hire Arabs for years."
Government statistics show that 12.5 per cent of all Arab college graduates are unemployed, nearly four times the figure for Jewish graduates.
Even those who do work are often forced into low-paying and menial jobs, Mr Badarne said.
Mr Salami, who trained as a schoolteacher, said that, among the 20 guards from his village, four were lawyers.
Mr Badarne pointed out that the long-standing Zionist principle of "Hebrew labour", or Jews employing only other Jews, still had great influence in Israeli society.
He was especially critical of the country's trade union federation, the Histadrut, which has traditionally also been one of the country's largest employers.
It did not allow any admission of Arab workers until a decade after Israel's creation and even then it set up a separate, and marginal, Arab section within the organisation, he said.
"Unusually for a trade union, poor workers, and that means, overwhelmingly, Arab workers, are simply not on the Histadrut's agenda. It is there to protect the jobs and good salaries of workers in the large state corporations and government offices."
He added that his organisation, which offers Arab workers support services and legal advice, was currently seeking redress for many Arab workers who had been sacked after attending demonstrations in January against the Israeli army's attack on Palestinians in Gaza.

Just wondering if there are BTDT mom's w/ breast implants who were successful at breastfeeding?
I had mine done in March of 2011 (silicone, under the muscle, smile nipple incision)....and I REALLY want to BF but I'm anxious to find out if the "plumbing" is still intact...
Is there any way of knowing before I deliver? Did any of you ladies lactate or leak at all during pregnancy?
PLEASE share your experiences!!

Have your thought about sending your resume to local lawyers, doctors, CPA's, Insurance firms, Outer Banks Hospital, NC Aquarium, College of Albemarle, or to local school systems? If your financial background includes knowledge of QuickBooks, you may be able to start your own bookkeeping business for independent contractors.
I relocated to Colington Harbour, Dare County from Chesapeake. I knew that I wanted to relocate here. We have had a 2nd home in Colington Harbour for a long, long time! I spent my off-time building houses, flipping houses, & selling real estate in Nags Head, so that eventually we could relocate here full-time. Please free to search the OBX MLS 24/7 on my website http://www.nagsheadhomes.com , when you begin your search for a home or if you find a vacant lot, I can build you a home!

Skill Level Beginner
Room elements are a special object type in Revit. A room is something that we all understand without too much explanation. We occupy rooms in our everyday lives, but what is a room really? Is it the four walls that surround it or is it the space of the air that surround it? This is precisely the challenge that the Revit programmers have to solve when they were devising the room object. In Revit, we have special room elements that automatically conform to the shape of the surrounding geometry, and thus accurately represent the space so enclosed. Rooms have some special behaviors in Revit from the way that they are added to the model, to the way that they display in the views, to the way that you actually edit them.
The basic behaviors of rooms will be the subject of this movie. The file I have opened onscreen is called Two Bedroom Unit, and it represents just one of the units in our overall condo building, and we're going to go ahead and add some rooms to this file. I'm going to start in the Home tab and over on the right-hand side,we have the Room button, and I'll go ahead and click on that. The shortcut for that is rm, and if I move my mouse out here somewhere out in free space, you'll see that the room appears is just sort of a generic blue rectangle, and in fact, if I went ahead and clicked it out there, I will get a "room is not in a properly enclosed region" message from Revit.
Now, I could ignore this message. It doesn't actually prevent me from creating the room, but this room that would be created out here first of all would be hard to see, because you'll notice that unless I move my mouse into the general vicinity, it doesn't anyway appear that there's anything there. The only real indication that I have that there is something there is the room tag. So if you really need to create a freestanding room you certainly can do it, but generally speaking that's not really the right way to do it or the preferred way to do it. So let me go ahead and undo that, go to Room and show you what happens if instead, I move my mouse inside the space somewhere.
So you'll notice that that blue outline now highlights the enclosed spaces within the project file. So I'm going to go ahead and start here in this upper corner and I'll click to place a room in that location, and then I'll place another one right here. Notice that the room tags do try and line up with one another. Place another here and another here and continue.
Put one here in the utility room and the two closets, and then let's talk about the challenge we have with this room here. If I were to add this room, you see how it's going to fill all of the remaining space. So I'm going to go ahead and undo that last room, okay. So we don't want one big room that's going to fill all of that contained space. So what we're going to do instead is we're going to subdivide this space into smaller areas, and we do that with a tool called a Room Separation Line.
So you can find that on the dropdown for the Room button on the Home tab as well and a Room Separation Line is a kind of model line in Revit that you simply draw two points like any other line. In fact, you can draw at any shape you like and I can draw them, like so. I'll press Escape one time. The default behavior is the chain, so it wants to draw several room separation lines in a chain sequence and if I just press Escape one time, I break that chain.
So, what I'm going to do is just close off each of the rooms that I want to generate with this. Now I'm going to continue out here and sort of trace over. I might need to press my Tab key here. There we go. I'm going to trace over the patio, because I want to actually add a room out there as well.
And I need to do that because even though we see a line there, that's just the edge of the floor down below. That floor doesn't actually bound space around the room. It would bound the floor of the room, but it won't bound space on the three sides like the Room Separation Lines would do. So without those three lines, we would get one of those freestanding rooms again. So now I can go back to my Room tool, and you'll see that these individual spaces now are recognized and I'm able to add separate rooms in here for the living room and for the dining room and the kitchen.
So that makes a little bit more sense in terms of labeling and so on and then out here, because I added the Room Separation Lines, we can see that we have our patio as well. So these are few other things that we could look at. I mean right now you can see that all of the rooms just have the generic name Room and the numbers occurred just in the order in which I placed them. I'm going to talk about numbering of rooms in another movie. So I'm going to skip over that for right now.
But as far as the naming goes, it's pretty easy. You could just simply select the room tag. That will let you reach in and change the room name and so I'm going to just go in there and type what I want the name to be. Foyer in that case and kitchen in this case and so forth and so on. I'm not going to do every room, but you get the general idea. The other way that you can change any of the parameters of the room, whether it be the name or the number or even the parameters we're not seeing in the tag, would be to select the room.
So if you move your mouse around onscreen, you'll notice that when it pre-highlights, there's actually two things that pre-highlight. The outline of the room, which if I get my mouse near there, I might be able to get, but you see how it's difficult to select it at that point because there's always other geometry in the way. Now, I could certainly press my Tab key, and eventually I would get to the room, but this X that they have crossing through the room, they've devised as a way to make it easier to select rooms. So that's really what that's about, those sort of indicators there, and if you click on it, that highlights the room and it tints in this shaded blue color, and then if we look over here on the Properties palette, you're going to see all of the properties for that room including its name.
So this is another way that I could change the name, the number, any comments, who occupies the room, which is more of a commercial designation, but Finish is, I could say that this floor finish is carpet and so forth and fill in all those different settings. So when I click Apply, that change will apply to the room that I had selected. You can add rooms easily enough. They will look for the bounding objects. If you don't have convenient bounding objects, you can use these Room Separation Lines to create your boundaries and then after you've added the rooms, you can easily select them either through the tags or through the room itself to make edits to any of their internal properties.

The gong closing ceremony is an event that is used to signify the end of the day's trading activities at Stock Exchanges across the globe and an invitation to beat the gong is considered by many to be an honour and an acknowledgement of a corporate market standing and achievement.
The visit by the recently appointed Managing Director's of Guinness visit to Nigerian Stock Exchange, is Guinness' MD's first official outing to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
Mr. O' Keeffe in his earlier remark on the import of the occasion, said that that the NSE extended invitation to the company to sound the closing gong of the market on the appointed day."Guinness Nigeria has been invited to beat the gong to signify the close of the day's trade and we are pleased that the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has deemed it fit to honour us in such a manner".
H e recalled that "Guinness Nigeria has been listed of the Nigerian stock Exchange since 1965 and we are the 7th largest company by market capitalization on the exchange. We are aware of the history that we have in this country and we are committed to implementing our strategic plans to grow within the market as signaled by major investments that we have made in areas of capacity expansion amongst others," .
Businessworld Intelligence recalls that Guinness Nigeria was established in 1950 and listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1965 and has such popular brands like Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Guinness Extra Smooth, Harp Lager, Malta Guinness and Malta Guinness Low Sugar, Smirnoff Ice, Snapp, Dubic lager and Orijin under its belt.

Breast enlargement is surgery to make the breasts bigger and improve their shape. This surgery may also be called breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty. During breast enlargement, the surgeon places an implant in the breast. An
implant is a soft silicone shell filled with silicone gel or saline (salt water).
To position
the implant, the surgeon makes a cut (incision) in the bottom crease of the breast, in the
armpit, or along the lower edge of the areola. (The areola is the colored area around the
nipple). The surgeon carefully
adjusts the implant to the correct shape and position. Then the incision is closed with
The implant may be placed under
the breast tissue or under the chest muscle beneath the breast. Some doctors
think that putting the implant under the chest muscle lowers the risk for a
problem called capsular contracture (hardening of tissue around the
implant). This placement may also interfere less with
A breast lift may be done at the same time
as a breast enlargement. This surgery can raise sagging breasts as well as the nipple and areola. For a breast lift, the surgeon removes excess skin from the
bottom of the breast and around the areola. The remaining
skin is then brought together. This tightens and raises the breast.
A breast
lift requires a larger incision than a breast enlargement alone. The incision may
go from the areola to the crease below the breast.
Breast enlargements and lifts are usually done in a hospital or
surgery center. You will not need to stay overnight in the
hospital unless problems occur during surgery. You will probably get medicine to make you sleep during the surgery (general anesthesia). Or you might be awake and get medicine that makes the area numb (local anesthesia or epidural).
You will have gauze over the incisions. Your breasts will be wrapped in an elastic
bandage or supported by a special bra. The stitches may be removed in 7 to 10
You may have some swelling, bruising, and soreness in
your breasts for several days after the surgery. Some women also
have a burning feeling in their nipples right after surgery. Swelling and bruising may last for several weeks.
You will probably be able to return to most of your normal activities within a few days. You will need to avoid heavy
lifting and strenuous exercise until your doctor says it is safe.
You will have scars after breast enlargement surgery. But they are usually in areas that are not easily seen, such
as the crease under the breast or the armpit. Scars usually fade after a few months. If you also have a breast lift, you will have larger scars that are easier to see.
This surgery is done to
make the breasts bigger and to enhance their shape. You may decide to get
breast implants:
Breast enlargement surgery can
increase your breast size by one or more bra cup sizes. It can also help your breasts match better in size and shape.
Most women who get breast implants
are satisfied with the results. You are likely to be happy with the results if
you are realistic about what you expect from the surgery. The surgeon can show you pictures of other women who got implants. This can give you a good idea about what to expect.
Breast implants may make it harder for a
mammogram to
detect breast cancer.
Other risks
Less common risks include infection, blood under the skin (hematoma), and abnormal scarring.
The risk of problems after the
surgery is higher if you have more than one surgery at the same time, such as a
breast lift and breast enlargement.
Most women who get
breast implants will need at least one more implant surgery in their
lives. Implants don't last forever. They may need
to be removed or replaced if they leak, rupture, change
shape, or develop other problems.
Newer silicone
implants have gel in them instead of liquid. These types of
implants don't leak if they are punctured or cut. About 1 out of 100 saline implants ruptures each
year.footnote 1
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends
having a breast
MRI 3 years after getting implants and then every 2
years after that.footnote 2 The MRI is done to check if the
implants are intact and the breast tissue looks healthy. This
testing can cost more than getting the
implants, and it may not be covered by insurance.
Also keep in mind that:
Insurance will not cover the cost of breast enlargement surgery. It may not cover the
costs of treatment for problems during
or after surgery or the costs of future surgeries to remove or replace the implants.
Check with your insurance company to find out what is covered. Also ask if getting breast implants
will affect how much you pay for your insurance.
Breast implants may cause problems during mammography.
During mammography, the breast has to be
squeezed tightly to get accurate images. In rare cases, this causes a breast implant to leak or
Be sure to tell the person who schedules your mammogram that you have implants. The technician will need to know what type of implants you have (saline or silicone)
and whether they are behind or in front of the chest muscle. The technician may need to take more
views than during a typical screening. In some cases, MRI scans
may be needed to get a clear image.
Experts are looking into a possible link between silicone gel implants and connective tissue disease. So far, studies don't show that these implants cause connective tissue disease.footnote 3
A few women have had anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) that started in breast tissue near the implant. These cases are very rare, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is checking for a possible link between implants and ALCL.

I try to buy locally when I can, but the great customer service was AWESOME they were the reason I bought from SEW VAC Direct. I have been sewing for many years and I was looking to buy a machine for my daughter when we got it she was so pleased with it. Her and I sat down and tried every stitch so I was sure it was performong correctly, and it was. Alan the gentleman who was the person answering my many questions was GREAT. I would highly recommend buying anything from this company. I will buy my extra feet and things from them when I need them.

Man of Steel Film Review SPOILER FREE
By johnkmccubbin91 9 Comments
This is a spoiler free review on the new Superman film, Man of Steel.
Bringing Superman into the 21st Century
I've been a fan of Superman for as long as I can recall, having grown up watching the 90's Animated series, and the earlier films, and although Batman became my favourite superhero, Superman isn't far behind. The more recent Superman films have not been kind to the Man of Tomorrow, with Superman Returns, andSuperman IV: The Quest For Peace being very poor, and Superman III also not being too great. This however is the perfect time to rectify that.
When Krypton starts to destroy itself Jor-El sends his only son to Earth. After growing up on Earth, Clark Kent searches for the truth about his real parents and where he's from, and becomes Superman. His first task however is to stop the vengeful General Zod.
This was a phenomenal film, and possibly the best Superman film to date. Now it's not really fair to compare this film to the Christopher Reeves films, as both are from different times, and are truly different films. This film was however very different to any Superman film I've seen before, and that was nice, as things can get a bit repetitive if they stick to the same blueprint. With director of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Christopher Nolan on as producer, as well as Dark Knight Trilogy writers, David S. Goyer, and Jonathan Nolan writing the script, as well as Watchmen, and 300 director Zack Snyder directing, I had high hopes that I'd get the Superman film that I've long wanted to see, and I wasn't disappointed. The film had everything from emotion, to action in it, and was handled perfectly. I also loved how the film was laid out, having flashbacks to Clark's childhood instead of starting there. This did however cause the film to be slightly slow at the start, but with it being the first one that's expected, and needed, and the prolonged action near the end more than made up for it.
Besides the direction, and script, the cast is one of the key things to a brilliant comic book film, and this one had a fantastic cast. Prior to seeing the film I wasn't too sure if every cast member would suit their role, but now that I've seen the film I have to say that they've done an excellent job, and it would have been hard for anyone to have done better. Henry Cavill was brilliant as Superman, and although I always thought that he'd do a good job, he did an excellent one, and really suited the role. I also really liked how we finally got a muscular Superman, as it really made the Man of Steel look the strong being that he is. Amy Adams also did a fantastic job of playing Lois Lane, and although I wasn't originally sure whether she'd pull it off, she played the part perfectly, showing the determination that Lois has, whilst also showing that she's good natured. Another actor who I wasn't sure whether he'd fit his role or not was Michael Shannon as Zod, but he did a fantastic job, and I can't think of anyone who could have done better. Superman's two father's, Jor-El played by Russell Crowe, and Jonathan Kent played by Kevin Costner were also perfectly cast, and these two former Robin Hood's did an excellent job at playing Superman's two very different fathers. The rest of the cast was also brilliant, with Laurence Fishburne being perfect as Perry White, and Diane Lane doing an excellent job as Martha Kent, and overall this film had a spectacular cast.
The start of this film spent a lot of time showing the demise of Krypton, as well as the birth of Kal-El, and Zod's rebellion. I loved that we got to see some of Krypton at the start of this film, as with CGI graphics being as good as they are now it's the perfect time to show this futuristic word in all it's glory, and then take it all away in a explosive destruction. I also liked how due to this we got to see a lot more of Jor-El, and that we actually got to see him fight, which was nice, and really made the start of the film that much more exciting. I also really loved the design of the Kryptonian's cloth's, as well as the design of the planet itself, as everything looked amazing, and wonderful, and I'm glad that the film took the time to show this.
A good portion of the start of the film would show Clark travelling around the world, trying to find the truth about his parents, and where he's from. Again it was nice that the film took the time to show us this, and although it did slow it down a bit, it was well worth it. I also felt that this was a very different approach for a Superman film, and origin, as most telling's of Superman's origin have him find the Fortress of Solitude easily, and learning of his heritage that way, whereas this was a much more realistic take (for a Superman film that is), and very unique. It was also nice that these scenes had drama, and emotion in them, which made it's slow pace even more appropriate.
This film would see a slightly different look for Superman, as although he was still in the blue suit, with red boots, and cape, with a red S on his chest, the suit was still very unique, and different from the version that we've seen in other films, TV series, or comics. I loved this look, and the design was simply marvellous. I really liked the gold trim around the sides, and the gold buckle in the middle, and how it took a page from the New 52 re-design by removing the red pants, making it look much more modern. I also loved how the S, and it's gold backing had a metallic tint to it, making it stand out at times, which was really nice, and impactful.
The villain in this film would be vengeful Kryptonian, General Zod, who along with his army of Phantom Zone escape's come to Earth in search of Kal-El. Now Zod is a villain that I've always enjoyed, and I much prefer him to the more popular Superman villain, Lex Luthor. I also love that due to him also being from Krypton, as is his army, it gives a more equal opponent for Superman to face. As I said earlier, Michael Shannon played Zod perfectly, and you could really see the viciousness, and malice that's built up in him. Another thing that I've liked about Zod over the years, and Shannon showed this perfectly is that although he's evil, and callus, he appears to have the best interests of Krypton at heart, seeing his work as the greater good. His army was also very interesting, and the design of their armour, was also amazing, as was all the costume designs.
It was announced prior to this film that there would be no Kryptonite in it, which had a lot of fans worried. Added to that there were some fans that weren't happy about the fact that Lex Luthor wouldn't be in it. Although I wasn't too bothered about this prior to going to see the film, after watching it I have to say that the film was better for dropping these. I say that as all but one of the previous Superman films has featured Lex Luthor, so do we really need to see him again so soon. Also the general go to thing when trying to weaken Superman is Krytonite, which again makes the films slightly repetitive, and although I'm not comparing this film to any of the others, I felt it was brilliant how they managed to come up with a different way of evening the playing field between Zod, and Superman.
Finally I come to the action, and the fight between Superman, and Zod. Now I won't go into details during this section as to avoid spoilers, but as usual I will say what I though about both. The action itself was nothing short of phenomenal, with the last hour (possibly more) being packed full of amazing action, and excitement. What I loved most about the action however was that although it was basically non-stop, it was very diverse, and kept moving at a wonderful pace, never getting dull, or feeling prolonged, which was wonderful. The fight between Superman, and Zod was no different, as these two warriors went at it tooth, and nail, in what was a very entertaining, and exciting fight, which also had a bit of emotion to it. I also felt that the dialogue during this fight was perfect, and really made the fight not only flow smoother, but also more dramatic, and dynamic.
Final Verdict
Finally we have the Superman film we deserve. This film had a lot of action, and emotion, as well as being very dramatic. The team behind this film truly did a fantastic job, bringing the Man of Steel into the 21st century, and I can't wait too see what they'll do in the sequel. The acting in this film was also very strong, and the costume, and set designs were also perfect. I'd highly recommend this film, and although this was phenomenal, I have a feeling that we've still to see the best from Superman in films.
Rating: 5/5

Jodha Akbar: Demon Attack On The Mughal Palace, Jalal Powerless (25th July-Photos)
Jodha Akbar 25th July written episode: Celebration starts in the Mughal palace. Akbar gifts a palna to Jodha with an idol of Kanha; he mentions that he has gifted a cradle with God idol, as Jodha told him that empty cradle is ominous.
He also presents Rajasthani dance and Tansen's music performance for Jodha. He recruits Tansen permanently for the Mughal functions. Rukaiya is envious even after Jodha gives ultimate respect to her.
Maha Chuchak's soldiers attack the palace with Khaiber. Khaiber's mentor makes him smell the blood of Akbar, before he enters the palace. He keeps sniffing, while he goes through the premises of the palace.
The sudden attack by the Kabul soldiers confuses the Mughal security staffs. They feel more helpless in front of the most horrifying demon. They promptly inform Atgah and Todarmal.
Akbar is informed about the attack. He tells King Bharmal and Todarmal to take the ladies to a safe place, without letting them know anything about the danger as it may panic them. Jodha becomes scared and asks Akbar what is going on. Akbar assures her that everything is alright and comes out.
Akbar, Atgah and Todarmal become shocked seeing the giant size creature. He brings the most virulent attack upon Akbar. Akbar becomes confused and helpless. He beats Akbar up and is about to smash him with a pillar. Akbar is saved by the Mughal soldiers! The ladies watch this horrific scene from the corridor. Jodha becomes sick and Salima controls her.

Nestlé mark their 150th anniversary with key commitments to creating shared value in Canadian society. I look into their goals and progress as well as how their strategy of creating shared value differs from other corporate social responsibility programs.
For profit, obviously. Divesting from fossil fuel would lose business and lower profits, so the thinking goes. But is this true? A study finds ethical banks are just as profitable as major banks. If a mainstream bank adopts sustainable banking principles can they realistically expect to maintain profits? I look into the study's methodology and see what a major bank can take away from the findings.
Bullfrog Power is an inspiring Canadian green energy success story. Since 2005 Bullfrog pioneers in providing easy solutions for large businesses like Walmart, Unilever, and RBC as well as individuals to power their homes and offices with 100% renewable energy. At their tenth anniversary I talk to CEO Ron Seftel on how the green energy landscape has evolved and how businesses may position themselves for the anticipated changes from our new climate-friendly federal and provincial governments.
What is your carbon footprint? Each Canadian causes 15 tons of CO2 emission per year, American 18 tons, Australian 17 tons, Dutch 11 tons, German 9 tons, British 8 tons, Chinese 6 tons, Indian 2 tons. How much of these emissions are caused by business travels? What can you do to reduce your business travel footprint? Let's find out.

Phoenix Zoo helping animals stay cool in summer heat
PHOENIX — It's 105 degrees on a summer afternoon in the Valley, and the animals at the Phoenix Zoo need a place to cool down.
On the zoo's wide savanna, giraffes, vultures, and cattle relax in the shade under a mesquite tree.
"Oh yeah, they love it," said Robin Fischer, horticulturist at the Phoenix Zoo. "We try to create a microclimate. The principle is kind of evaporative cooling when we turn the sprinklers on."
Zoo animals need to stay cool just as much as humans during summers in the desert. If not properly hydrated, they can become lethargic, dehydrated, and at times risk death, according to zookeepers.
When they need a little extra help cooling down, staff will reward the animals with their own special frozen treats.
"Fish popsicles, bloodsicles, all sorts of great things," said Fischer.
Zoo officials make sure they only bring in animals that can withstand triple digit heat.
"We send the grizzly bears, the polar bears, and penguins to our friends in the northern states," said Linda Hardwick, zoo spokesperson. "We try to just keep our expertise with animals that can handle the dry, arid conditions of Arizona."
That includes squirrel monkeys and baboons.
"Baboons are African animals so this temperature for them is pretty comfortable," said Amy, the zoo's primate keeper. "They are well-built for hot, dry environments."
Some animals have their own instinctive way to beat the heat. Warthogs will roll around in mud, which acts as sunscreen. Orangutans lay palm leaves on their back for shade.
The Asian elephants get a bit more attention.
"They get showers every day," said Heather Wright, elephant manager. "Sheena weighs about 7,600 pounds, she's a big girl. Everybody likes to get wet when it's this hot out."
A few exhibits up the trail, lions and tigers take a cat nap on one of the zoo's cooling rocks.
"Our male right now is sacked out," said Hardwick. "He's actually laying on a concrete slab, which has an ice cold pipe that runs underneath it. So he lays on that because the coolness radiates throughout that slab and really keeps him cool."
After the animals are done with a long day's work, and the zoo gates close, they head inside for the evening.
"They call it a night in their air conditioned night house much like we all do when we go home," said Hardwick.

I have this theory. That if you were on the fence about having more than one baby when you got started, your first one tends to be a much easier baby -- nature's way of convincing you to have more and expanding the human race. But, for people who always planned to have more than one, the difficult one can fall anywhere in the lineup.
I had a very easy pregnancy and delivery and now a really easy, happy, sleeping baby. I told my husband that lightning doesn't strike twice, and if we have another .... it could be baby doomsday! What's been your experience?

Royal baby name betting goes 'bonkers'
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- July 23, 2013
AUSTRALIAN royal watchers have picked the same names that British bookmakers have as the most popular choices for the new royal baby boy's name.
While around 60 per cent of punters thought the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were going to have a girl, bookmakers described the betting frenzy over the name as "bonkers".
According to Rory Scott, a spokesman for Irish bookmakers Paddy Power, George is now the Paddy Power favourite at 6/4 followed by James (11/4), Alexander (7/2) and Louis (8/1).
But James, the name of Kate's brother, is the "red-hot" favourite with Ladbrokes, although Henry's odds have been slashed from 50/1 to 5/1.
"It's been bonkers," Scott told AFP.
"We have taken about $A82,900 today."
"I think everyone's got sunstroke, we've had a pramload of bets."
"We're staring down the barrel of a gun if the baby's named Henry," said the firm's spokeswoman Jessica Bridge.
Live rolling updates: It's a boy for Kate and William
"It's been odds-on all year long that Kate would give birth to a girl and punters who believed it would be a boy have now collected over $A165,820 worth of winnings."
At the other end of the spectrum, Wayne is trading at 250/1 - although a bet was earlier placed on Kai, the name of footballer Wayne Rooney's son, at 1000/1.
The palace said the "names of the baby will be announced in due course".
In pictures: Royal baby fever hits
A News Corporation Australia online survey of more than 1500 readers also found the top five boy names Kate and William could choose were George and James, followed by Richard, Philip and Alexander.
Tell us below what name would you give the Royal baby
According to the Kidspot Baby Name Finder, the meanings of these names are:
Meaning: Farmer. In medieval legend St. George: (the knight who became patron saint of England) struggled with a fire-breathing dragon symbolising the Devil.
Description: People with this name tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves. They are drawn to the arts, and often enjoy life immensely. They are often the center of attention, and enjoy careers that put them in the limelight. They tend to become involved in many different activities, and are sometimes reckless with both their energies and with money.
Meaning: Supplant. Replace. Variant of Jacob derived from the latin Jacomus.

They are often the center of attention, and enjoy careers that put them in the limelight. They tend to become involved in many different activities, and are sometimes reckless with both their energies and with money.
Meaning: Strong ruler.
Description: People with this name are excellent at analysing, understanding, and learning. They tend to be mystics, philosophers, scholars, and teachers. Because they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and introspective, and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people and world events may make them seem aloof, and sometimes even melancholy.
Meaning: Fond of horses. Form of Phillip.
Description: People with this name tend to initiate events, to be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities. They tend to be focused on specific goals, experience a wealth of creative new ideas, and have the ability to implement these ideas with efficiency and determination. They tend to be courageous and sometimes aggressive. As unique, creative individuals, they tend to resent authority, and are sometimes stubborn, proud, and impatient.
Meaning: Defender of men. Variant of the Greek name Alexandros
Description: People with this name have a deep inner desire to create and express themselves, often in public speaking, acting, writing or singing. They also yearn to have beauty around them in their home and work environment.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to pick a traditional royal name for their newborn baby prince.
10 quick things you need to know about the royal baby
Royal infants mostly have historical names which are passed down through the generations.
Charles Kidd, editor of Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage, predicts William and Kate will select a conventional first name for their son.
"I do think that Prince William is quite a traditionalist - that's my feeling," Mr Kidd said.
"The fact that he chose to use the royal dukedom (of Cambridge) and has followed royal precedent, I wouldn't be surprised if they use a name that is already familiar in the royal family - something that has royal associations.''
Prince Charles leads well-wishers
Meanwhile a new market has opened on exactly when the baby will be named.
It was a month before the baby's grandfather, Prince Charles, was named - but Ladbrokes say it is odds-on that the name will be announced on Tuesday.
"But for those who think we could be waiting a week like William's announcement can take odds of 3/1," they added.
There are plenty of more offbeat bets to be had.
Paddy Power is offering odds of 7/4 that the future king's first word will be 'papa' and 10/11 that he'll follow in his uncle Harry's footsteps and have his first nightclub visit before his 17th birthday.
Ladbrokes if offering odds of 4/7 that William will come out of hospital holding his newborn, shorter than the 6/4 offered on Kate.
Bookies say they have taken more than en1 million in total on what they have called the biggest novelty (non-sporting) market of all time.
Bets have come in from around the world with one lucky Austrian man placing en1,000 on a male baby.
Scott said the amount of money is "quite staggering" and compared to what would be placed on English football's FA Cup final.
Firms suspended the betting on Monday as the birth date once the Duchess of Cambridge was in labour.
In the run-up it was an unpopular choice of day, though.
"The 17th was the most popular. Only five percent of the bets were placed on today - today was an outsider," said a William Hill spokeswoman.
"Everyone seemed to think that the baby would come last week."
Even after the birth there will be no rest for the betting firms, with people now betting on Kate's sister putting in an appearance.
"We are running bets now on the colour of the dress Pippa will be wearing on her first visit to the hospital and how many times Pippa will run the media gauntlet, how many times she will enter in the hospital and who will be holding the baby on the steps. The current favourite is William,'' Scott said.
And the betting bonanza could go on for years - firms are already taking wagers on baby number two.
In recent years, the royals continue to influence baby name trends.
Prince William's popularity first placed William in the Top 10 in 2001, growing in popularity ever since in Australia.
In 2011, the year of the royal wedding, William became the most popular boy's name Australia-wide, and has maintained this position ever since.
William is the most popular name in New South Wales, Tasmania, and Northern Territory, and is in the Top 3 in all the other states and territories.
Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, is slowly have an impact on baby name trends, with Kate entering the current Top 100 list in Tasmania, featured 90th, and in Queensland, featured 96th.
Her middle name Elizabeth, however, features at number 46 in the Top 100 girls' list.
The top girl's name, Charlotte is also linked to royal heritage, stemming from the name, Charles.

I subscribet to e-harmony in January 2006 and they started to send me matches. The service was working well until I met 2 matches, and after a dinner we both started to laugh because we had NOTHNIG in common.
I sent eharmony an e-mail asking how is this possible... had no answer.
After 3 weeks from my subscription e-harmony "run out" of matches and I didnt receive any match for a month.
Sent a complain e-mail and they asked me to be patient.
I EXTENDED THE SEARCH TO THE ENTIRE US... hoping to have some matches, and for 2 months got NO MATCHES AT ALL. Nothing. That means that in the whole US there is no girls that matches me. Statistically impossible!
Sent another e-mail and they answered to be "patient".
I had enough. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THESE SCAMMERS.
They send random wrong people, and they cut you off if you find out their trick (sending you a lot of fake matches in the beginning to make you feel good).
Plus their method of matching is based on a very old Personaliyt test called 16PF. Google that and you will see that they make tons of money using an old test (which I personally consider to be very inaccurate in measuring the personality triats).
