In an agrarian economy economic impact of illness acts not only through out of pocket expenditure, but also through loss of labour time and wages at the individual level. Using the information collected from 676 respondents at selected villages in West Bengal from 2009 to 2010, the present paper examines the impact of health on labour supply behaviour and wages. Theoretically the study borrows the idea of nutrition-based efficiency wage hypothesis and builds a conceptual framework based on capability approach. The methodology follows a household production function model. Nutritional dimension of health as indicated by body mass index (BMI) has been found to have a positive and significant impact on labour supply for both the male and female respondents. Age is found to have significantly non-linear impact on labour supply. Hence, public policies to improve the sex and age composition of the households through appropriate channels, that is, health and fertility may be necessary. Finally, the results suggest a revision in the design of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) programme by integrating it with other developmental programmes on health, sanitation and skill development in order to ensure productivity of rural manual labourers. Experience of some other countries like South Africa and Brazil suggests the need to integrate public works programmes with programmes that target health and family welfare issues particularly in the context of rural livelihood. © 2014 Indian Institute of Health Management Research.

India has made tremendous progress in increasing production of staple grains like wheat and rice since the introduction of yield improving technology in the 1960s. A combination of policy measures like subsidization of inputs, output price, external trade and marketing support were introduced to encourage the farmers to produce these important cereals. The Government of India implements the largest food intervention program called public distribution system (PDS) through which primarily foodgrains are distributed at subsidized rate to all eligible households. The eligible households are given ration cards to buy fixed rations of foodgrains. For ensuring long term food security, sufficient amount of foodgrains should be made available domestically in a sustainable manner. The favorable economic conditions are necessary for the agricultural sector to enhance the food production and to keep pace with growing demand for different types of foods. Source
A transition from wood fuel to LPG and its impact on energy conservation and health in the Central Himalayas, India
Nautiyal S.,Institute for Social and Economic Change ISEC
Journal of Mountain Science | Year: 2013
The aim of the study was to evaluate the impacts of the transition from wood fuel to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from energy use and health perspectives along an altitudinal gradient (viz., lower altitude; middle altitude; and higher altitude) of the Central Himalayas. Empirical field study and questionnaire based survey was conducted for obtaining the data. A total of 20 households from each altitude were selected for obtaining reliable information on the actual quantity of fuelwood consumed. Of the 20 households, five households each based on the family size i.e., small families (<4 members), medium (5-8 members) and large (>9 members) from all the altitudinal regions were selected. This was followed by an administration of a questionnaire on the quantity of fuelwood consumed. After the completion of the questionnaire survey, the data was validated using a weighted survey for the randomly selected households for obtaining precise information on the actual quantity of fuelwood consumed. Energy analysis is done with respect to the time spent on fuelwood collection and energy value of burning of per kg of fuelwood. Study indicates that declining biomass requirement from forests contributes significantly towards energy conservation, also has positive impact on human health. Per capita annual energy expenditure on collection of fuelwood is 752 MJ which is higher than any other activity in villages of Central Himalaya. The LPG substitution has contributed to energy saving which is equivalent to 2976-3,742 MJ per capita per year in middle and lower altitudes respectively. In the higher altitude the energy saving is calculated to be about 257 MJ per capita per year. Replacing fuelwood with LPG has made positive impact on society in terms of improving the health while reducing diseases that are caused due to indoor air pollution. © 2013 Science Press, Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Nitrogenous fertilizers and plant protection chemicals have been universally accepted as an integral part of package of practice for raising Indian agriculture to higher technological plank. The excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers has resulted in higher plant protection chemicals and has further resulted in heavy economic loss. In order to examine different dimensions of economic aspects of selected inputs, a study was carried out in Tungabhadra Project (TBP) area of Karnataka during the year 2011-12 for which multistage random sampling design was employed for a sample size of 90 farmers. The study revealed that the extent of application of insecticides increased from 5413 mL/g a.i/ha to 7338 mL/g a.i/ha, fungicides application from 805 mL/g a.i/ha to 1283 mL/g a.i/ha and weedicides from 4853mL/g a.i/ha to 7625 mL/g a.i/ha from level 1 (upto 50% recommended dose of nitrogen) to level 3(<100% recommended dose of nitrogen), respectively. Further, per acre excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers and plant protection chemicals ranged from 24.61kg to 79.08 kg and 1321.37 mL/g active ingredient to 2687.65 mL/g respectively from level 1 to level 3, respectively in paddy cultivation. The estimated economic loss due to excess use of nitrogenous and plant protection chemicals for the TBP area as a whole was Rs. 8618.4 lakhs. Majority of farmers were unaware of recommended dose, quantity of application and illeffects of these inputs. Thus, emphasis must be given for adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) and needs promotion through different extension strategies to minimize the losses.

The demand for water among various sectors is increasing due to population growth and economic development, in turn creating competition within sectors. The severity of this issue will have direct impact on water and food security of the country in future. Due to over exploitation of water resources, it has become scarce in many parts of the country. The concerted efforts of the goverment are trying to prolog this situation. Both the Central and State governments have undertaken various programs in water conservation and management successfully from the inception of FYPs in the country. In the course of all these programmes, the country could able to become the largest producer of several mulets and second largest producer of rice and wheat in the world. Among the number of programmes, CADWM, NWDA and WDP were the major programmes for land development and water (resources) conservation and management in the country. Further, among externally assisted water sector projects, World Bank is the primary source followed by ADC, JBIC and Kfw, Germany. Many projects under the external assistance from these sources were completed and few are on-going in many states. All these programmes under water conservation created huge infrastructure and irrigation potential for agriculture and are trying to improve the water and food security situations in the country. In addition, they not only protect and conserve environment but also contribute to livelihood security of rural poor. Therefore, the country still requires continued efforts of the government along with external aids especially in the issues of global climate change and promotion of consumer awareness on water conservation. Government should come up with a new water policy prescribing the role and involvement of individuals, community and government for conservation of water. Source

JM, Norra Djurgårdsstaden
Energy efficient properties in unique lighting project
Housing associations and property owners are now investing in energy efficient lighting. The property developer JM take the lead with its pilot project in Norra Djurgårdsstaden in Stockholm. Together with Fagerhult they have integrated the latest lighting technique in their properties. The result? Up to 50 % in energy savings.
The lighting in Swedish apartment buildings costs about 2 billions per year, which means that there are much savings to be made. JM and Fagerhult worked together to show the possibilities of energy saving systems. The pilot project lies at Norra Djurgårdsstaden in Stockholm and is funded by the Swedish energy agency. Sustainable Innovation (Sust) project managed the project.
"Energy efficiency is an important part of JM's brand and an obvious starting point for the approximately 3000 properties we build every year", says Allan Rasmussen, project manager at JM.
Today JM has an energy usage, excluding household electricity, of about 60-65 kWh per square meter per year. To lower the already low usage could be both expensive and complicated.
"That is why the lighting is so interesting. It gives us the opportunity to reduce the energy usage even more, to a reasonable cost. We also notice an increasing interest in energy and lighting from our customers, particularly on the boards of tenant owned apartments. The solution at Norra Djurgårdsstaden will be beneficial for the tenants for a long time, both in terms of lower energy consumption and reduced maintenance."
Lighting that "follows"
The housing association Garphyttan has 69 apartments with four stairwells. The first house was ready for occupancy in October 2012. Since it is a senior housing development, extra emphasis is put on lighting with good light levels that make it easy for one to orientate in a safer environment.
Product & Application Manager Peter Björkman has planned the lighting solution for the public areas; he focused on the lighting in the entrance and stairwell. This area normally amounts to almost 80 % of the total energy usage of real estate electricity.
"We choose to develop a brand new luminaire, Tibi, that is based on LED-technique. The luminaires were installed in stairwells and entrances in two different models, wall and ceiling mounted", says Peter Björkman.
The luminaires are very energy efficient on their own, but have an even greater impact with the use of the wireless control system e-Sense Move. The presence detectors are built in the luminaires that communicate wireless to each other by radio waves.
"The light simply illuminates floor by floor by following the person walking on the stairs. Instead of illuminating all floors at the same time, the lighting is only used on the floors where someone is present. The lighting is not running for an unnecessarily long time after the stairwell is empty, which is the case with the majority of traditional solutions," explains Peter Björkman.
Flexible, wireless installation
Since the systems communicate with radio waves, there is no need for complicated and expensive wiring. Just install the luminaires, program the building and it is finished.
"By using LED luminaires with e-Sense Move, our calculations show a possible 75 % energy saving, compared to a traditional lighting solution. The housing association has chosen not to turn off the lighting completely, but instead have a constant low light level that affects the savings by some margin. We will measure and get the exact numbers during 2013."
When planning the facility Fagerhult put lot of effort into future proofing the lighting. The wireless control makes the system flexible. If the association wants to change anything, it will be quick and easy to reprogram it without interventions in the building structure. With a life span of 50 000 hours, the LED luminaires will have minimal maintenance.
Energy efficient options
About 20 percent of the household electricity in Swedish apartments is used for lighting. It is for this reason that JM and Fagerhult made a lighting solution for this application of day to day living. The property owners could make a choice to use Fagerhult's Easy spotlights with LED for the bathroom and kitchens, instead of the traditional fluorescent lamps. It was also possible to replace the ordinary luminaires above the kitchen counters with an LED luminaire. Comparing the use of halogen spotlights in bathrooms and kitchens verses the new solutions results in an estimated 80 percent energy saving.
Made for demands
Project manager at Sust, Jan Kristoffersson, thinks the project comes at just the right time.
"Property developers, real estate owners and housing associations are becoming interested in lighting for apartment buildings, specifically in the new LED techniques and control systems. To make a breakthrough with this new technique, there is a need for these kind of smart and easily managed solutions", says Jan Kristoffersson.
Which means that the solution is just as attractive for renovation, rebuilding and extensions as for newly built constructions.
"We are facing extensive renovations of houses that were built during the 60s and 70s. Around one million apartments are waiting to be made energy efficient with good functional lighting."

Currency Wars The Making of the Next Global Crises Audiobook
Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crises (Audiobook)
by James Rickards and Walter Dixon
English | 2011 | ISBN: n/a | ASIN: B006JAM3UU | 9 hours and 55 minutes | MP3 128 kbps | 542 MB
In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon.
Currency wars are one of the most destructive and feared outcomes in international economics. At best, they offer the sorry spectacle of countries stealing growth from their trading partners. At worst, they degenerate into sequential bouts of inflation, recession, retaliation, and sometimes actual violence. Left unchecked, the next currency war could lead to a crisis worse than the panic of 2008.Currency wars have happened before-twice in the last century alone-and they always end badly. Time and again, paper currencies have collapsed, assets have been frozen, gold has been confiscated, and capital controls have been imposed. And the next crash is overdue. Recent headlines about the debasement of the dollar, bailouts in Greece and Ireland, and Chinese currency manipulation are all indicators of the growing conflict.As James Rickards argues in Currency Wars, this is more than just a concern for economists and investors.
The United States is facing serious threats to its national security, from clandestine gold purchases by China to the hidden agendas of sovereign wealth funds. Greater than any single threat is the very real danger of the collapse of the dollar itself.Baffling to many observers is the rank failure of economists to foresee or prevent the economic catastrophes of recent years. Not only have their theories failed to prevent calamity, they are making the currency wars worse. The U. S. Federal Reserve has engaged in the greatest gamble in the history of finance, a sustained effort to stimulate the economy by printing money on a trillion-dollar scale. Its solutions present hidden new dangers while resolving none of the...

Mrs Aisha Buhari visits Awolowo residence.
Nigeria's first lady,Aisha Buhari has been to the house of the late Chief Mrs HID Awolowo.The wife of the wife president,Mrs Osinbajo who is also the grand daughter of Mrs Awolowo,showed her round the house and the Awolowo museum.It is very refreshing to see that the Awolowo has kept a museum which has been well preserved.The sad part of this is that the museum should have been established by the Nigerian or Ogun state government,so that Nigerians can have access to it.Chief Awolowo and his wife are too important to the history of Nigeria and the Yoruba's to just have this museum and history be available to less that 1% of the population.
All our heroes,are there any museums or documentation about them? Hardly any..You can barely see footages of great men like Aminu Kano,Awolowo,Azikiwe,Tafawa Balewa and so many more.

Texans Lose Arian Foster to Torn Achilles
It was only four weeks ago that the Houston Texans finally got star running back Arian Foster back. Foster missed the start of the season with a groin issue and was slowly rounding into form the past two weeks, but suffered a non-contact injury late in Houston's week seven blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Foster Done
It didn't look good, and per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it was as bad as feared with Foster being lost for the rest of the year with a torn Achilles tendon.
Source: #Texans RB Arian Foster has, in fact, torn his Achilles. His season is over.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 25, 2015
It's a massive blow for a Houston offense that has struggled badly with balance all season long, specifically with trying to establish the run. Foster's injury puts backup rushers Alfred Blue and Chris Polk back into the picture and puts added pressure on a passing game that was absent until late in week seven, and overall has been extremely hit or miss in 2015.
Even with the Texans struggling, the team seemed to have a good deal of hope for the playoffs and even winning the AFC South due to Foster's return to the field. One of the most versatile and explosive running backs in the league, a healthy Foster was Houston's best hope at making their 2015 NFL season a successful one.
Foster ends his 2015 season with just four appearances, 163 rushing yards and one rushing score. He'll look to return in 2016 at full strength.
Questionable Decision
While the Texans are now probably out of the AFC playoff picture, that's not even the most troubling development with Foster's injury. The real question is whether it should have ever even happened. With the Texans in an ugly 41-0 hole at half time, there is a pretty strong argument that Foster and most of Houston's top starters should have been held out for the remainder of the game.
Foster didn't just play a little bit in the second half, either. His season-ending injury occurred with under five minutes to go in a contest that was well in hand.
Houston head coach Bill O'Brien will have a lot of questions to answer this week, as a once promising coaching prospect may now be looking at an uncertain future. Keeping his star player deep into a game that was already over – only to see him suffer a gruesome injury – surely won't help his case.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) - A sliver of land in Harbor Gateway South is about to be transformed in to Los Angeles' first "pocket park." It's just 1,000 square feet, but it's having a big impact on the community's sense of safety.
"It takes care of the sex offenders and keeps the kids off the street gives them somewhere to play," said resident Janet Shour.
Until now there was no green space in the 13-block neighborhood, but there was an unusually high number of registered sex offenders - more than 130 of them at its peak.
"Our big concern was student safety, our children were afraid," said Marcia Reed, principal at 186th Street Elementary. "I had to actually call the police in one incident where one of the sex offender chased a few of our children and they were so afraid."
The community turned to their senior lead LAPD Officer Brian Cook for help. His idea was to use a tiny piece of city-owned property and the law to take back the streets.
"Jessica's Law is out there and says registered sex offenders on parole or probation can't live within 2,000 feet of a park or school, that's where the idea came from," he said.
Once the park is built at the corner of Torrance Boulevard and Denker Avenue, the number of registered sex offenders in the area is expected to drop more than 95 percent, giving residents some relief and kids some hope.
- It's just another ex post facto law that is punishing ex-offenders for the sake of punishment, nothing else.
"There's not that many parks around the area so kids don't have anywhere to play so I think it's a great idea," said 9-year-old Savannah Marmolejo.
The park is expected to be completed in June and will be the smallest park in the city.

Mining on the property dates back at least as far as the Romans but there's evidence of still more gold to come. With that in mind, Emerita Resources TSXV:EMO has begun exploring its Sierra Alta project in the Asturias region of northwestern Spain. The program calls for detailed mapping, bedrock sampling and trenching to determine drill targets on the 2,500-hectare property, the company announced July 21.
Work will initially focus on an area about three kilometres long by 300 metres wide that contains a high density of Roman excavations distributed along a structure that seems to control the mineralization's distribution, Emerita stated. Historic, non-43-101 data from the 1990s reported bedrock samples as high as 338 grams per tonne and 48.96 g/t gold in an area where soil samples showed strong gold anomalies.
Very limited follow-up work has been done. But later sampling during Emerita's initial property assessment found grades up to 10.65 g/t.
Another area of gold geochemical anomalies to the south measures about 1.5 kilometres by 200 metres. Part of the Navelgas Gold Belt, Sierra Alta features a geological environment comparable to the El Valle-Boinas and Carles gold mines operating 35 kilometres east. "Gold mineralization in the area typically occurs in high-grade epithermal veins, skarns and as intrusive-related gold deposits," the company added.
"The combination of modern geochemical anomalies and extensive Roman mining excavations, the largest of which is hundreds of metres in length, combined with high-grade samples in bedrock, make this a very compelling and highly prospective target," commented CEO Joaquin Merino. "We expect to have initial assay results from the exploration program by mid-August."
Last month Emerita announced a 100% option on the Falcon Litio MG property in Brazil, 500 metres from the country's only operating lithium mine. In May the company announced a letter agreement with the Aldesa Group, an international builder of specialized infrastructure, to create a JV to acquire and explore mineral projects.
Emerita closed an oversubscribed private placement of $954,000 in May.

"There's excitement in the air," said Cambridge House International founder Joe Martin. That's the mood he senses as junior explorers emerge from the downturn. And certainly optimism was evident on June 14 as more than 450 people converged on the Vancouver Commodity Forum for an afternoon of expert talks amid a showcase of two dozen companies. Keynote speakers included Martin, Chris Berry of the Disruptive Discoveries Journal, Jon Hykawy of Stormcrow Capital, John Kaiser of Kaiser Research Online and Stephan Bogner of Rockstone Research.
Lithium, not surprisingly, stood out as a commodity of interest. While cautioning against over-enthusiasm for the exploration rush, Berry and Hykawy each affirmed the need for juniors to find new sources of the metal. Cobalt and scandium featured prominently too, as did other commodities including what Kaiser called "the weird metals"—lesser known stuff that's vital to our lives but threatened with security of supply.
Kaiser also noted he was addressing a crowd larger than his last PDAC audience, another indication that "we've turned the corner."
Attendees also met and mingled with company reps. Potential investors learned about a wide gamut of projects aspiring to meet a growing demand for necessities, conveniences and luxuries.
Presented by Zimtu Capital TSXV:ZC, the forum's success will make it an annual event, said company president Dave Hodge. Berry emceed the conference, holding the unenviable task of "making sure Dave stays well-behaved."
Read interviews with keynote speakers:
Meet the companies
Most companies were core holdings of Zimtu, a prospect generator that connects explorers with properties and also shares management, technical and financing expertise. Zimtu offers investors participation in a range of commodities and companies, including some at the pre-IPO stage.
After sampling high-grade lithium on its Hidden Lake project in the Northwest Territories earlier this month, 92 Resources TSXV:NTY plans to return in mid-July for a program of mapping, exposing spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes, and channel sampling. The company closed the final tranche of a private placement totalling $318,836 in April. Hidden Lake's located near Highway 4, about 40 kilometres from Yellowknife and within the Yellowknife Pegmatite Belt.
With one of the Athabasca Basin's largest and most prospective exploration portfolios, ALX Uranium TSXV:AL has a number of projects competing for flagship status. Among them is Hook-Carter, which covers extensions of three known conductive trends, one of them hosting the sensational discoveries of Fission Uranium TSX:FCU and NexGen Energy TSXV:NXE. ALX's strategic partnership with Holystone Energy allows that company to invest up to $750,000 in ALX and retain the right to maintain its ownership level for three years. ALX closed a private placement first tranche of $255,000 last month, amid this year's busy news flow from a number of the company's active projects.
Arctic Star Exploration TSXV:ADD boasts one of northern Canada's largest 100%-held diamond exploration portfolios. Among the properties are the drill-ready Stein project in Nunavut and others in the Lac de Gras region that's the world's third-largest diamond producer by value. North Arrow Minerals TSXV:NAR holds an option to earn up to 55% of Arctic Star's Redemption property.
Aurvista Gold TSXV:AVA considers its Douay property one of Quebec's largest and last undeveloped gold projects. The Abitibi property has resources totalling 238,400 ounces of gold indicated and 2.75 million ounces inferred. Now, with $1.1 million raised last month, the company hopes to increase those numbers through a summer program including 4,000 metres of drilling. Douay's 2014 PEA used a 5% discount rate to forecast a post-tax NPV of $16.6 million and a post-tax IRR of 40%.
Looking for lithium in Nevada, Belmont Resources TSXV:BEA now has a geophysics crew en route to its Kibby Basin property, which the company believes could potentially host lithium-bearing brines in a similar geological setting to the Clayton Valley, about 65 kilometres south. Results from the gravity survey will help identify targets for direct push drilling and sampling.
A mineral perhaps overlooked in the effort to supply green technologies, zeolite has several environmental applications. Canadian Zeolite TSXV:CNZ holds two projects in southern British Columbia, Sun Group and Bromley Creek, the latter an active quarrying operation.
With a high-grade, near-surface rare earths deposit hosted in minerals that have proven processing, Commerce Resources TSXV:CCE takes its Ashram project in Quebec towards pre-feasibility. The relatively straightforward mineralogy contributes to steady progress in metallurgical studies. Commerce also holds southeastern B.C.'s Blue River tantalum-niobium deposit, which reached PEA in 2011 and a resource update in 2013.
Permitted for construction following a 2014 PEA, Copper North Mining's (TSXV:COL) Carmacks copper-gold-silver project now undergoes revised PEA studies. The agenda calls for improved economics by creating a new leach and development plan for the south-central Yukon property. In central B.C. the company holds the Thor exploration property, 20 kilometres south of the historic Kemess mine.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Mrs. Hsu, in her 90s, is sobbing over the loss of her husband. At the Taipei funeral home she cries out at a lifetime of images while relatives and friends hold themselves back. Attendants, men and women in black uniforms and white gloves, make sure the grieving bid their final farewells in an orderly and dignified way.
"In a moment like this we share the family's deepest pain," Cindy Chang, a senior funeral director at in Taiwan, says from the sidelines of Mr. Hsu's service.
Funerals in Taiwan aren't always this calm. Until recently some traditional Taoist ceremonies could go to extremes of incorporating bikini-clad strippers on a neon-lit truck or third-party mourners, who are hired to wail on demand, to provide a loud send-off.
That always gives David Lee, 53, a chill. He started Lungyen two decades ago, and it can claim to be the world's third-largest funeral specialist by market capitalization, at $1.23 billion. Only Service Corp. International (SCI) and of the U.S. are larger.
(Lungyen also earns a spot on our list of Asia's 200 Best Companies Under A Billion. Lee also ranked 41st on FORBES ASIA's Taiwan rich list at $850 million.)
Back then, circuslike funeral rituals and the sector's lack of professionalism in Taiwan provided an opening to Lee--a mechanical engineer by training who was managing his father's $15 million-revenue business, shipping conducting foils to Japanese electronics makers.
Dad's best friend offered to let him take over a cemetery in the mountainous northwest coast of Taiwan at a discounted price of $30 million, to be paid in installments. "I never thought I would have entered into the funeral business," he says. "But after years of effort we're bringing the bright side to the dark business of death."
Lee recalls his first visit to a government-run funeral home in Taipei, following the cemetery deal, as "head-spinning."
"Short of freezers, corpses were scattered in the hallway without any cover. Some of them, packed in dry ice, began to turn red," Lee remembers. "An executive from the Loewen Group [since acquired by Service Corp.] who accompanied me told me that it was the scariest funeral home he had ever been to, after 30 years on the job."
That horrible experience, however, didn't scare Lee away, nor did the surprise of friends that he would take on such a tarred trade. With no experience Lee looked to Japan, where he'd done business for his dad, for a "much more civilized" approach to handling funerals.
Sun-Life of Japan, in particular, became a model as Lungyen sought to set his operation apart from Taiwan's mom-and-pops. Lee commissioned folk-customs experts to retrieve authentic rituals in the Chinese Confucian funeral culture. The packaged services Lungyen offers cost an average of $8,350, a competitive rate designed to build a clientele for more lucrative interment arrangements. (The ordinary funeral sector remains highly fragmented.) Lungyen does 5,000 services in a normal year.
Meantime, Lee initiated expensive construction of a 20-story columbarium at his cemetery site, a so-called yin zhai (residence for the deceased). Cremation is now the vastly preferred means of handling the deceased in Taiwan, where the price of scarce burial grounds has skyrocketed.
Overlooking the Taiwan Strait, the company's luxurious yin zhai features a breath-taking view, a feng shui location for the heirs' good fortune, a spacious lobby, electronic security for each floor and communal dining, as well as a children's playroom, useful for families when they visit or hold memorial ceremonies.
On its completion in 2002 business took off. The vault emerged as the company's major profit driver with prepaid spaces. These advance sales, in which Lungyen dominates in Taiwan, are an especially high-margin business. Whether for future or current use, the resting places account for 70% of the company's sales and have quadrupled in five years. (In the first half of 2013 the company reported pretax profit of $32.7 million on $68 million of revenues, a sales drop-off from the year-earlier period when its latest outdoor urn spaces were put on offer.)

The 6-foot-3 Bayless, ranked No. 7 in the junior class by Scout.com, picked Arizona over Texas at a press conference on Friday afternoon.
There aren't a slew of big time prospects from the state of Arizona so when one comes around the Wildcats seemingly are intent on keeping him home and that happened with Bayless. He joined Richard Jefferson, Mike Bibby and Channing Frye as prominent in-state prospects that stayed home to run with the Wildcats.
"Distance didn't matter but Arizona was the best place for me," Bayless said at his press conference. "I wanted to play for a Hall of Fame coach like Lute Olson."
The commitment of one of the premier juniors in the nation comes on the Heels of the Wildcats signing of No. 11 senior Chase Budinger on Wednesday. Arizona's 2006 haul was ranked the No. 16 recruiting class in America by Scout.com.
The addition of Bayless could prove to be a very significant one. A big time scoring guard blessed with tremendous wing athleticism, he's an exciting prospect who will be expected to make a large contribution upon his matriculation to campus.

5 super moms who'll inspire you to kick ass today.
Everyone knows being a mom is the toughest job out there. (Suck it, coal mining ice fishermen.) It's typical to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and even like you're a bad mom sometimes. Everyone's trying to do it all, but guess what? You don't have to. Being a super mom is easier and more fun than you think. Let these 5 bad ass moms inspire you to crush it today, or at least make it through the afternoon without locking yourself in the closet eating Cheerios.
1. The pregnant mom who whips and nae naes with her daughter.
Super moms make time for fun. Even though Nikki Taylor was eight months pregnant, she still found time to go viral in a dance video with her 6-year-old daughter Jaylyn. Little Jaylyn's got moves that would put Beyonce to shame, but the cutest part might be her intro. "My mom is gonna rock it. But don't laugh at her!"

Percussive track, vocal fills and a couple of bells, ideal as gameplay background
Intelligent soundscaping, grooving and acrimonius
Full orchestra + synthesizer fx, sci -fi feeling
Mysterious and, in an exciting way scary , subtle instrumentation creates an atmosphere of goose bumps
Contemporary classical piano with gentle support from some strings.
Slow Intro to 1:15, then somehow it becomes an Austrian Rap show, all very easy and relaxed, with vocal fills
Smooth Operator Style mit weichem String-Background und sanften Breaks
Thoughtful and melancholic ambience. Catchy but even though unobtrusive motives and background pad.
acoustic guitar solo, grand piano solo, electric bass, drums, triangle: BOSSA NOVA; this melody evokes a yearning for love to return yet fearing it won't.
A beautiful solo piano ballad. Tender, understated, poignant, perhaps regretful or vulnerable.
A nice and breezy, cool and summery chillout track. Smooth grooves, funky guitar lick, warm electric piano and a dub-like bass riff. Mellow and relaxed, like a summer holiday or a day on the beach.
Relaxed After-Work-Mainstream Soul
Imagine you open your eyes but it remains black. You are somewhere in the darkness - alone. There might be traps or danger everywhere waiting for you. You better watch every single step you make !!
XXL-track - a little dark and spooky, many voice-ins with a very lively groove
Genre mix of classic and modern elements, playful, and with a convincing atmosphere. Only piano.
Simple background for many occasions and talkovers, very subdued and calm
Background for the new trailer against youth alcoholism
Naughty and carefree, Electric Pop to touch
Exorcism in a chilled-electric version.
Peace, joy and pancakes .... with a difference

On my business tour to Varanasi, I got a chance to stay in this hotel. We could get a good deal as far as the Hotel room is concerned but the price of food are irrational. Rooms not provided with Geysers for hot water, Door closers are faulty & closes with a thuk sound. Neither it is any market , nor at any prominent location from tourist point of view. Dont recommend unless it is very in duress situation..
by madhu s on June 4, 2016
I went to Varnasi and stayed 4days in this hotel..it was really good and affordable stay..rooms are well furnished and very neat and clean..it also well maintained and very spacious ..service is fantastic.. the restaurant serves very delicious and variety of food which I liked the..this hotel is worthy
by srnayak on April 3, 2016
The rooms are spacious and clean. Outside the city. Railway Station is far off. Kashi Vishwanath Temple is also far off. Linen provided clean. Limited Toiletries are provided. Wifi available. Parking space is available. Did not try food. For overnight stay is good.
by Thant Z on March 14, 2016
Stay there for one night only before continue to our journey. Rooms are half way through renovation and some are new and some are old, example bath room is new and very clean but a/c is old window type and very noisy despite they have central a/c unit which wasn't complete wiring. Amazing.. Breakfast is not include paid 250 Rps per person
by Freddy R on November 25, 2015
I didn't stay in the hotel but me, my guide and our driver stopped here to have lunch. I had the tandoori chicken with tomatoe gravy and I was very pleased with it. The price was more expensive than in local restaurants but the food was worth its price. It was not too spicy so the restaurant is very recommendable for a tourist who wants to eat in a more fancy restaurant and doesn't want to overpay. I payed 1625 roepies in total for three lunches and our table was completely filled with side dishes.

Emotional intelligence helps us to understand and manage our own emotions as well as other people's emotions towards us. Social intelligence, on the other hand, concentrates on social situations like how we interact with other people and how well we understand them. And then there is systems intelligence. Systems intelligence considers that human action always takes place in systemic settings consisting of both human and another kind of elements. Systems intelligent people understand why they act like they do – they understand their emotions. Systems intelligent people also understand social interaction connections. This is why people should, above all, focus on making themselves more systems intelligent. In this article, I will first discuss how evolution has created our emotional intelligence and how it is useful in our everyday life. From emotional intelligence, we step towards social intelligence and ponder the behavioral laws in social interaction situations. Finally, I will end describing systems intelligence and how it includes both emotional intelligence and social intelligence in it and how its fundamental form will raise our intelligence onto a new level.

Passionate about healthy food, here at the Skiff Inn we take in serious consideration the words "Healthy" and "fresh ingredients", we prepare every single meal from scratch, using fresh and when possible seasonal products.
The secret behind our success is the love for good and "casareccio" (home-made for Italians!) meal.

Italian combo was my favorite sandwich. I would get it once a week. The new Italian is absolutely horrible. Lost me as a customer. .Read more
Anonymous I agree horrible sandwich!
Anonymous Just got the new sandwich. What a disgusting piece of garbage. I won't be back.
#923071 by anonymous
Ordered an Italian combo. First, aren't there supposed to be peppers on it? I was very disappointed to see that there were not when I opened the sandwich but I was even more disgusted when I found 2 hairs and a dead fly on my slice of cheese. Glad to know they keep the kitchen clean. #not. panera bread claims to be so healthy.. How about some fresh/ not infested produce. .Read more

News in Brief
Federal agencies are doing a better job of self-reporting on classified information within their charge, an annual report to President Barack Obama found.
The report, published by the National Archives and Records Administration, compiles classification activities across the federal government, something that had been previously reported separately. Among the report's findings is that the number of people with classification authority across the government is 2,269, the lowest recorded level. The report deemed that a positive trend.
The report also noted that under automatic, systematic and discretionary declassification review, agencies declassified 27,524,342 pages of historically valuable records.
Federal websites are still failing to support and enforce encryption using SSL, and are not moving toward IPv6 compliance, according to an analysis of federal web domains by GitHub government evangelist Ben Balter.
Overall, the federal government has reduced its inventory of web domains from 1,640 to 1,229, with 1,000 of the domains currently live.
The Department of Health and Human Services maintains the most domains with 110. Other perpetrators of what Balter calls "domain sprawl" include the General Services Administration with 105, Treasury with 92 and Interior with 89.
About 25 percent of sites are now using Google Analytics -- a significant increase compared to the last time the government published a domain inventory, back in 2011.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon's high-tech development arm, chose Schafer Corp. to carry out R&D projects in the fields of cybersecurity, analytics and computing, the firm announced.
DARPA's Information Innovation Office, which focuses on national security applications for information science and software, awarded the three-year contract. Arlington, Va.-based Schafer has been working with DARPA for 26 years, the firm said.
A suspected child predator collared by agents last fall hours after the rollout of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Operation Predator smartphone app, was sentenced in late June to more than eight years in prison.
Mark Robert Austin was arrested Sept. 13, 2013, by federal law enforcement 36 hours ICE rolled out its "Operation Predator" app designed to solicit information from the public about wanted suspected child predators.
ICE said following the national and regional publicity generated by the app's announcement, several members of the public called in tips that identified areas that Austin frequented. Agents from ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) unit and the FBI arrested the 49-year-old in Flint, Mich., charging him with downloading more than 100 images and nearly a dozen videos of child pornography.
ICE said in a June 30 statement that in addition to the 97 months in jail, Austin also faces seven years of probation and will be required to register as a sex offender.
Since its fall 2013 inception, ICE said its Operation Predator app has been downloaded more than 92,000 times from the iTunes App Store, and an Android version is currently under development.
"Sadly, the Internet and related technological advances have expanded the reach of predators looking to ensnare a child. But as this investigation demonstrates, technology is also a critical law enforcement tool," said Marlon Miller, special agent in charge of HSI Detroit. "HSI will continue to leverage emerging technological advances to turn the tables on child predators seeking to corrupt the innocent."
The Department of Homeland Security launched several enhancements to its "Study in the States" website that allow foreign visitors to more easily access a variety of data on student and visitor exchange programs.
The three-year-old Study in the States site brings together the various federal agencies that play a role in implementing DHS's student visa and exchange visitor programs, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Citizenship and Immigration Services and Customs and Border Protection.
DHS said the site's four new features allow the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, housed within ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, to convey information about the sometimes-confusing international student process in a clear, interactive manner. SEVP monitors a million international F and M visa holders in the U.S. pursuing academic or vocational studies and their dependents. It also certifies schools and programs that enroll these students.
The new features include:

The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.

CEAT Ltd. brings the 50th 'CEAT-PRO Knowledge Series' to Mumbai
Press release from: CEAT Ltd
A Pan-India series looking to address the issues concerning Indian truck transportation market
A platform of partnership, a circle of trust between CEAT, participating partners and India's top fleet companies
Mumbai, Friday, December 17th, 2010: Indian tyre major CEAT Ltd organized a knowledge platform – 'CEAT PRO' for the fleet owners of Mumbai to help them better their businesses and reduce operation costs. This is an interactive platform that gives the fleet owners access to best practices and ideas across diverse areas of the trucking sector.
As part of its fleet excellence program CEAT PRO knowledge series aimed to create a common platform for sharing information & resources and thus helping fleets compete on a flatter turf. The panelists spoke about Fuel economy- A future trend in lubricants in India, Ground realities on the use of telematics to increase fleet operational efficiency, Radialization and the future of tyres in India, Advantages of 'On-site' service support,
CEAT PRO has been a key initiative, an industry first, which aims at connecting with the large fleet owner. It was started in July 2009 to offer a knowledge platform for fleet owners and it celebrated the 50th Knowledge Seminar in Vashi, Mumbai yesterday. Over the last 17 months CEAT PRO has travelled across the country and has touched over 4000 fleets helping them improve and change the way business is done.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Vinod Kumar, Head - Marketing, CEAT Ltd said, "The Indian transportation industry is booming, however it lacks a common platform to engage customers and help them build best practices. At CEAT we believe in partnering with our customers and the automobile industry to gain value and optimum growth, thus "CEAT PRO" was born and now is moving forward as the foremost platform for knowledge sharing and partnership."
He added, "CEAT – PRO is not a selling plank but a knowledge plank to share ideas and the best industry practices. For this CEAT will engage the industry experts and help co create value for the end customer by assisting him in new technology, information and best practices."
The Indian truck transportation market is approximately Rs 38000 cr, of this more than 80% market lies in the unorganised sector. Even with the recent developments, the overall awareness of technology improvements and industry best practices is quite low. Penetration of new age systems such as the Fleet Management software or the GPS systems is quite dismal and mostly restricted to only a select few big transporters.
The first step in this direction is the CEAT 'PRO' knowledge seminar series wherein top industry experts share their views on a variety of topics and thus helping fleet owners.
As a further step, CEAT has also started India's First and only Transportation awards, India Road Transportation Awards (IRTA). This award is the next step in CEAT's efforts to take forward the knowledge platform and to start recognizing the achievers in the transportation sector. It is a platform to recognize the Innovators who have transformed the Transportation Industry. The first National Awards were held in Mumbai on 25 June, 2010.
About CEAT Ltd:
CEAT Tyres, the flagship company of RPG Enterprises, was established in 1958. Today, CEAT is one of India's leading tyre manufacturers and has a strong presence in both domestic & international markets.
