Happy Blue Monday my loves! This post contains some of my favorites shots that I took whilst in Paris as most of our day was spent roaming the museum's. Fun fact about me.. I love art! You may have guessed that since I spend my life dedicated to creative outlets like this blog and all the work that goes in to it. For me posting photos is not enough, I want you all the feel what I feel, the excitement I get from Fashion and in this case my travels.
I know it's a little late but BONJOUR PAREE! Or hello Paris, just kidding I know you all know that. I am not at all hesitant to say that Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world. Every corner you turn is gorgeous with it's antique architecture, a cheese shop on every corner (I'm serious…every corner and I have NO problems with that :) and incredibly chic looking French girls doing their daily routines. Paris is not only beautiful but filled with culture that you can't find anywhere
And Everybody knows… that I have become habitually obsessed with all things French. So not only France's cities but, its beautiful and glorious countryside. My week spent out running through fields of sunflowers and picnicking near rustic windmills was one that I will never…EVER forget. It was a fairytale, as simple as that, it was magic. I like many others am a lover of music and have pretty eclectic taste when it comes to it. You could say I usually go for some cliche indie music and I am not afraid
Happy Halloween everyone! No, this post has nothing to do with Halloween but seeing as I am sharing it with you all on this October 31st I figured I would wish you all a happy holiday anyway. On another note, I thought that I should give you all a little update since a lot has been going on in my little life. You may or may not know that last week on the 23rd it was my 19th birthday! Ahhh scary, I'm really becoming a true adult :P no thank
Ohhhh to be lost somewhere out in the countryside in France. There could not be a better place to lose yourself. While on my travels with my love we stopped out in the Charente region of France for a week to visit his mother. I was absolutely enchanted with the are as soon as we arrived. From the never ending fields of sunflowers, grapes for authentic Cognac and just open space like nothing this city girl has ever seen before, I had such an amazing time spending the week relaxing
Hello lovely readers and welcome to Old Portsmouth. Portsmouth being one of the largest cities in England and right there nestled beautifully on the sea side. It also happens to be the birthplace and original home of my love so we took a few days out of our trip and drove an hour outside of London to visit his hometown. While it's one of the larger cities in England it's really not a huge city, especially when you're used to Los Angeles and New York. But the sea side was beautiful
There are so many places all over the world to discover and explore. When it comes to travel we often think in terms of capital cities or big booming cities of industry. We say New York, Paris, London, Rome, Milan, Miami, Los Angeles, Tokyo. We never think of the vast majority of the rest of all of these countries that we have yet to give a chance to explore. Lucky for me I have a perfect tour guide as he happens to be a local. On this day we drove
My London travel diary is sort of coming to a close, but I still have my video diary to share with you all and it's almost finished being edited it just needs a few perfecting touches. Any how, this is not sad because that means that we get to move on to all of my French adventures and amazing Parisian outfits to share on To Style, With Love. Traveling around London brought about so many opportunities for not only cute pics but I for one love to take a picture
Good Morning, Afternoon, Evening or whatever time of day it is for you while you are looking at this post. Get ready for a ton of posts from my time in Europe as right now I am fully focused on bringing the best possible content to you all and sharing all of my amazing experiences from my trips with you all. In today's post I was wandering around Notting Hill searching for Hugh Grant of course. No not really, but since I was in Notting Hill I couldn't resist throwing
Oh yes I am having a ball here in London and today I am all in Love and decked out in all LV. By LV of course I mean the classic Louis Vuitton. Although Louis Vuitton is perpetually French in its roots and design LV has built a brand name that can be found as classic in any city, country state or status. A little bit ago I picked these monogram booties after they made their resurgence once again in the Louis Vuitton stores after being a huge hit at

It is surprising that you write Miami to Key West time about the adventure itself! As often as notes are compared, if it works related to other authors and travel blog? Photography also nice. You have an eye for the big picture and truly the atmosphere of the places you visit capture. Help your tour is really alive. Continue to keep ON.KEY West Belle Isle City. I was visiting there, but I read the blog and see where I really wanted to visit on my next trip. I went to Miami with my friends for my summer vacation. I liked the trip. When we were in Miami, someone told me to visit Key West, but we have not been there, but now I think we should not go to visit in Key West. Next time, no doubt for the summer holidays. Matthew Thanks for a great blog!! I love it when I get just hand in your hands, as well. Easy and good! Now I know what it's really no shortage, and when I'm there with a trip next week. Where was his best jump? Must in advance, all the recommendations are posted? Whoa … Sharkie Miami to Key West Tours channeling sounds too! Loll. Good day. I think that you have synergized the ambassadors of the brand with its roots very well. Always participate and informative, but on the table and putting rice here … fishing Key West High School next time a famous Key Lime Key Largo Mrs. Mac gel down and try lunch or dinner on the water and the market Keys Marina in Marathon. The next time you are down this way, we hope it will go through our new facility in Marathon! We arrived at our first wedding anniversary and have a lot to share fresh sea life with visitors. If you want just to take a look, or squirm in a wetsuit and jump to feed our animals in our tanks, there is something for everyone!
It seems a good time! The tarpon is an animal. I would be willing to sail to go there. I have only small sailboat that explains with a tiller. The only one who has rented is much more comfortable and less likely to tip over. For diving upwards if exploring is what you are looking for, be sure to visit Fort Jefferson. There are other interesting activities such as paragliding offered. Do not forget to watch for dolphins.

this one might be the best video yet
that soundtrack is PERFECT ... what song is it? rihanna and?
jay z
OK, that was awesome!! Got me motivated. Now let's go out and win some games CU!! Let the Buffaloes shock the CFB world this year!!!
that ATM fumble return from the Mark Farris era Aggies is kinda random. good game, though.
Yeah, that one is much better. The music on the first one is just terribly uninspiring.
the walkout video is meh if you ask me.

1 Corinthians 16International Children's Bible (ICB)
The Gift for Other Believers
16 Now I will write about the collection of money for God's people. Do the same thing that I told the Galatian churches to do: 2 On the first day of every week, each one of you should put aside as much money as you can from what you are blessed with. You should save it up, so that you will not have to collect money after I come. 3 When I arrive, I will send some men to take your gift to Jerusalem. These will be men who you all agree should go. I will send them with letters of introduction. 4 If it seems good for me to go also, these men will go along with me.
Paul's Plans
5 I plan to go through Macedonia. So I will come to you after I go through there. 6 Maybe I will stay with you for a time. I might even stay all winter. Then you can help me on my trip, wherever I go. 7 I do not want to come to see you now, because I would have to leave to go other places. I hope to stay a longer time with you if the Lord allows it. 8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9 I will stay, because a good opportunity for a great and growing work has been given to me now. And there are many people working against me.
10 Timothy might come to you. Try to make him feel comfortable with you. He is working for the Lord just as I am. 11 So none of you should refuse to accept Timothy. Help him on his trip in peace, so that he can come back to me. I am expecting him to come back with the brothers.
12 Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the other brothers. But he was sure that he did not want to go now. But when he has the opportunity, he will go to you.
Paul Ends His Letter
13 Be careful. Continue strong in the faith. Have courage, and be strong. 14 Do everything in love.
15 You know that the family of Stephanas were the first believers in Southern Greece. They have given themselves to the service of God's people. I ask you, brothers, 16 to follow the leading of people like these and anyone else who works and serves with them.
17 I am happy that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have come. You are not here, but they have filled your place. 18 They have given rest to my spirit and to yours. You should recognize the value of men like these.
19 The churches in the country of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord. Also the church that meets in their house greets you. 20 All the brothers here send greetings. Give each other a holy kiss when you meet.
21 I am Paul, and I am writing this greeting with my own hand.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, then let him be separated from God—lost forever!
Come, O Lord!
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24 My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.

Square planar platinum(II) polypyridyl complexes have demonstrated promise in a wide range of applications due to their interesting ground and excited state properties. It is therefore vital to understand how to control the physical and chemical properties of such metal-organic chromophotes in order to be able to tune their photophysical properties according to application-specific requirements. This book focuses on the photophysical, electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical properties of a variety of organometallic platinum(II) polypyridyl complexes which possess accessible ligand-centered and charge transfer excited states as well as the basic information necessary to understand these properties. In addition to the interesting solution phase properties, metal-metal interactions in the solid state can be profoundly perturbed by vapor adsorption, rendering significant changes in color and photoluminescence of the compounds. Vapochromic sensing applications based on platinum(II) terpyridyl compounds will also be presented in this book.

- On Weekly chart google is doing an Ascending Triangle.
- Thing that favors bulls is the Weekly closing which is the highest closing for this year.
- But for bears daily chart is showing negative Divergence. Price is converging between a support and resistance line in daily chart which should give good direction. Presence of negative divergence may give a correction.
- Short trade will be possible once price starts to trade below 20 day sma and the supporting trend line shown in the last chart. As long as price trades above 20 Day SMA bulls does not have the threat of a large correction.

- NIFTY MACD and Stochastic in daily time frame is showing some support for bulls. But for bears they have the upper boundary in place in the form of 20 Day SMA. Month Low EMA etc. So price need to break these levels on closing basis to continue this up move.
- For Bulls the lower boundary is Week Low EMA and 50 Hour SMA. Breaking below these levels will favor bears for a short trade. Fall might pickup momentum below 4632 levels.
- Week Low EMA at 4688
- 50 Hour SMA at 4666
- Month Low EMA at 4713
- 20 Day SMA at 4806

Look out below managers are dropping like flies in my store and all over stupid shit too. That is the funny part when the shit hit the fan it flies high at my Wal-Mart. We had one asst manager get fired for stealing $60,000. What fucked her over was not even a week after the money was stolen she was driving to WORK in a brand new car and a nice one at that. That may not be weird, but this is a woman that use to take two buses from Phili to just get to work in the first place.
The next two Asst managers was let go at the same time, the word around the water cooler is that they were spending to much time fucking each other in the claims room to get what they had to get done around the store up and running. Now if you are going to fuck in the store morre power to you, but at least make sure the vidoe is turned off or at least find a dead spot. Now they are unemployed and there vidoe can be bought on ebay for &19.99 no c.o.d.
To top off the chain of command our wonderful store manager was sacked and cryed like a little bitch as he walked out of the tre too now that is sad. No bodies has a clue why he was let go. It was something about not paying any bills, or getting the proper permits to do work around the store or something like that.
Our new store manager is pretty cool and down to earth. Most important he has people skills, even when he is firing your ass he makes it sound nice enough to let you walk out of the building with your head held high before you start crying in the parking lot like a normal person. But we fear for his job to because now he has to clean up everyones mess.
Now we are ripping out all the work we have done because the town is pissed off they didn't get there cut. I really don't see anyone getting that little extra check this year because it's going to takee at least two years to dig us out of this hole. oh well that is just another day at

A safe and caring environment where teachers establish clear expectations for behavior and implement well-defined processes and procedures to ensure that students live up to these expectations. These processes and procedures will emphasize the importance of building relationships, developing self-discipline, and increasing student responsibility.
In addition, we know that in order for all students to be successful, three critical elements must be in place in all classrooms. These include:
An environment that is physically, emotionally, and intellectually safe, where students feel comfortable learning. This environment must include a balance of cooperation and governance between the teacher and student where the teacher is clearly identified as the leader in the class.
Students, teachers, administrators, and parents must have clearly defined instructional expectations. Student progress will be measured through the use of common assessments.
Instructional strategies must be implemented that produce success. The teacher and the instructional strategies selected (including intensive remediation strategies) have a profound effect upon student learning. The art of teaching is becoming the science of teaching.
In Pinellas County, much work has been done to assure the emotional, intellectual, and physical safety of students in our elementary schools.

Equipment Requirements for First-Year Medical Students
First-year medical students are given dissection kits and clean lab gowns to protect clothing (in the Gross Anatomy Lab) and can rent microscopes for coursework, so required supplies to purchase in preparation for the first year of medical school are minimal.
Required Supplies
- Textbooks
- One box of Nitrile or Latex rubber gloves
- Scrubs and a pair of old shoes (for Gross Anatomy Lab)
- Ophthalmoscope and Otoscope kit
Note: Traditional is adequate; a Pan-Optic is not required and is quite expensive.
- Stethoscope (Cardiology Grade)
- Reflex hammer
- Sphygmomanometer
Note: Adult cuff is fine. Some students may also want to get a large adult cuff and a pediatric cuff depending on their needs and future career plans.
- Tuning forks (512 Hz and 128 Hz)
- A penlight is useful.
- Measuring tape (metric or metric and English units)
- Hand-held Snellen eye chart
Students can purchase equipment and supplies at the instrument sale held at the Indianapolis campus at the start of each school year. Company representatives demonstrate each item and give significant discounts to students who purchase instruments at this sale.
Students should purchase the textbooks for each course before the first day of class. Visit the Medical School Bookstore in Indianapolis, buy books from other students or try an online bookstore. Whenever selecting books, always purchase the newest edition.
Laptop Computer
All IU School of Medicine first- and second-year medical students are required to have a personal laptop for classroom purposes. Note regarding tablet computers: While tablet computers may be used for general and personal tasks, they do not meet the minimum requirements for all systems used at IU School of Medicine. For portability, a laptop is necessary for medical education course work.
Several computer programs and web-based applications are required for medical education. To use these applications, students must ensure that personal laptops for education meet the minimum requirements. For existing laptops, ensure that the computer meets the minimum requirements in the list below. If purchasing a new laptop, it is strongly recommended that the computer meets the optimal requirements.
These requirements are based on applications used in IUSM courses statewide. Campuses or departments might make use of other computer programs or web-based applications. Be sure to check with your campus contact and academic instructors for any other requirements.

Tips on Purchasing Required Supplies
IU students can access discounted hardware. See https://kb.iu.edu/d/antk#deals. An IU Network ID is required on some sites to view discounted prices.
Do not unnecessarily order software from vendor sites when purchasing hardware, as many products and software packages (including those offered by Adobe and Microsoft) as well as antivirus products are available as free downloads to IU students, faculty and staff via IUware, and on disc at campus bookstores. Students do not need to purchase any Microsoft packages (such as "trial" or "student edition" versions). Additionally, students may use IUanyWare to run Windows software virtually on a Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or BlackBerry device without downloading.

Shares of major juice market players in 2015 divided as follows: joint-stock company Multon - 29.7%, private limited company Lebedyansky - 18.9%, and OAO WBD Beverages - 16.1% (both part of the PepsiCo group of companies in Russia ), OAO Sady Pridonia - 10.7%, OAO PROGRESS - 5%, private limited company Sunfruit-Trade - 3.5%, private limited company SOUTH JUICE COMPANY ( Interagrosystems ) - 3 3%.
Juice industry, like many other branches of the food industry, felt the impact of the changes in the economic situation in 2015. The growth of the domestic juice market in 2012 was replaced by a decrease in production volumes and consumption of juice products in Russia to below 3 billion liters per year.
"Despite the drop in purchasing power and a redistribution of priorities in the consumer basket, the majority of consumers did not abandon purchases of juice products but reduced the frequency of purchases. According to the analytical agency Canadean segment 100 percent of the juices in 2015 made up about 23 percent of the total volume of juice products, of which nectars took a share of 53 percent, the rest of juice products were juice drinks and fruit drinks," Natalia Ivanova, president of the Russian Union of Juice Producers, said. "We, in spite of the level of juice products consumption of 17 liters (about 50 ml per day) per capita in 2015, are far from fulfilling the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) on (their recommendation) consuming at least one glass of juice a day to get what the body needs of food and biologically active substances. "
The Union of Juice Producers, uniting producers of juice products, accounted for over 80% of all juice products manufactured in Russia in 2015.

I am late today, I don't know about you but I think somebody turned the clock ahead and time is spinning out of control... I have vowed to better manage my time and so far as you can see - it isn't working.
I have decided to post on the shop after all that is one of the reasons I started this blog. This is pretty much most of my life right now and I would like to give you a little insight on shop care. I had two lovely visitors yesterday from the land of blog. Jen from Sanctuary Art made a comment, "that my blog doesn't represent my shop well enough". (please visit her fabulous blog) And that got me thinking, so today I would like to show a little love! After all it is that time of year. We do have Valentines in the shop but I am going to talk about "shop love". Anyone that has a small boutique does it because they have a love for some part of it, whether that be a love for display or buying or maybe even the business end. (that one does not include me) But the one love I think we can all agree on is the love we have for the people that come through the door. I love the whole process...the shop gives me an opportunity to make a backdrop and inspiration for my artwork and in return I get to know the person that I place my artwork into their hands. When you come into my shop it is an extension of me, just as if you would come into my home. I understand you are not neccessairly coming to see me but you are visiting the work of my hands and so the next time you are in a small boutique be sure to smile and say hello to the person that lovingly put together what you came to see.
Thanks so much to Kathleen for hosting another WW be sure and drop by her blog and much love to all of you and please leave some love :)

Biking between Salinas and the Monterey Peninsula: Monterey-Salinas Hwy 68, and Other Tips"
The first workshop for the California SR 68 Corridor Study was 4/21/16. You may also give input via the virtual workshop option. Visit http://www.sr68sceniccorridorstudy.com to learn more. Questions? Contact Kendall Flint, Outreach Task Manager, (650) 455-1201; via email, click here. Or contact project manager Grant Leonard, Transportation Planner, Transportation Agency for Monterey County, (831) 775-4402 – email@example.com.

The post below was previously published April 7, 2013 and earlier dates.
Lupines in bloom on Monterey-Salinas Highway 68 are just one more reason Keith smiles about his commute.
Along with Keith, you'll see other experienced bike commuters, recreational riders, and racers in training along this route.
Visitors/newcomers, see the "Monterey-Salinas Highway/Highway 68 Corridor" heading in the Serious Cyclists section so you don't end up on the freeway. On 4/15/13, I saw yet another cyclist in that predicament.
This route is not recommended for novice riders. If you want to bike it, be sure you're savvy about CA Bike Laws and Safety Tips. You may also want to take advantage of the companionship of other bike commuters on your first trip/s; more on that below.
High-visibility apparel/accessories are a good idea here. For instance, a person on a bike can, at times, become nearly invisible when passing under the shade of trees.
The rumble strips added on Highway 68 are appreciated by many cyclists. Click here then refer to page 19 for a 1/22/13 letter of appreciation to the Transportation Agency for Monterey County. Thanks to David Caneer of Pebble Beach for taking time to express appreciation for infrastructure improvements.
Below, before the rumble strips were installed on Hwy 68. Notice how close that white SUV appears to be to the line, which is now a rumble strip that serves to remind.

Best way to bike from Monterey Peninsula to Salinas, and vice versa
For Monterey-Salinas bike commute help, check in with those who pedal these routes regularly, including both Hwy 68 and Blanco Road. Such bike commuters who are glad to help others with tips include Jan Valencia, Answer Man for Velo Club Monterey; Frank Henderson, League of American Bicyclists certified instructor; and Phil Yenovikian, among others.
- Jan Valencia and Phil Yenovikian, 2012 Gold and Silver Helmet Winners
- Frank Henderson, 2010 Gold Helmet Winner and Phil Yenovikian are happy to accompany new riders who bike commute between the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas. Click here for post regarding Blanco route, then scroll down to "Commute to Salinas? Cyclists want you–and are ready to help."
Find related tips in the Serious Cyclists section as well.
Biking Spreckles Boulevard
Biking Blanco
(Spreckles and Blanco photos courtesy of Frank Henderson.)
Farmers not only feed us, they also feed Monterey County's economy in a big way! It's challenging when common farming practices and roadway rights of bicyclists and others sometimes conflict, such as with mud and detritus from farming operations in the Blanco Road lanes. (See "Blanco lanes must be clean and safe for cyclists" on the VCMonterey.org website.)
Perhaps you have ideas that can help farmers get their work done in a timely way while still taking what extra time may be needed to avoid leaving debris in the bike lanes. And bicyclists can help farmers with their concerns too; click here for an example.
Let's team up with one another and find solutions that will mean both happier farmers and happier people on bikes.
One of Frank Henderson's co-instructors for the Monterey County Youth Center bike repair and safety class is Luciano Rodriguez, a bike commuter from North Salinas. Below, Luciano on arrival at HER Helmet Thursdays spot Red Brick Pizza at Stone Creek Village, Highway 68 and Canyon del Rey. Salinas to Monterey? No sweat.
And this rider in a Velo Club Monterey jersey agrees. While the Monterey-Salinas Highway requires an added measure of caution, it is a beautiful road for the travel of experienced riders.
Spotted at Highway 68 at Canyon del Rey/Highway 218.
And that fresh paint for bike lane at the
Hwy68-Cyn del Rey intersection is appreciated.
If your experience, stamina, or schedule aren't conducive to biking all the way between Salinas and the Monterey Peninsula–at least, today!–consider bike-and-ride options–e.g., Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST/"The Bus") or your personal vehicle's bike rack.
Hello Mari,
This is a wonderful site.
I will be a tourist through this area and would like a route from Carmel to Salinas with the least amount of climbing. Also I would prefer it to be safe while riding at night.
I would appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Bombay Bird Market (22/2/17)
It's a spartan life at 'the Eton of India' — The Spectator
At the school for the country's elite, a British headmaster strives to eliminate elitism
A near-perfect rendition of Schubert's 'Impromptus' rings out of the music room's colonial-era windows, the sound carrying all through the school's pristine grounds. Even in India, a country famed for its sharp inequalities, there are few places where privilege is so obvious. Set in the foothills of the Himalayas, the Doon School, a private boarding school for boys aged 12 to 18, is probably India's most elite institution.
A short walk away from the school's main gate, children live in slums plagued by dengue fever. But here you'll find a campus which last year won a Unesco award for cultural heritage conservation, one equipped with its very own hospital. Although the school rejects the label, there's a good reason that many describe it as the 'Eton of India'. Here, heirs to business empires brush shoulders with the sons of India's political elite. Their names are put down for the school as soon as they're born, leading to admission tests which are held in seven cities.
Founded by an Indian lawyer in 1935, the Doon School's mission is clear and unashamedly elitist. The words of the first headmaster, Arthur E. Foot — a former Eton 'beak' and a relative of former Labour party leader Michael Foot — are inscribed on the wall of the foyer. The school will create an 'aristocracy of service' to lead a free, democratic and secular India.
'There are very few schools in the world that have set themselves that kind of mission and have actually achieved it', says Matthew Raggett, the current headmaster and also a Briton.
From politics, industry and banking to journalism and the military, the school's alumni have left their mark on modern India. In the 1990s the Economist reported that after Harvard Business School, the Doon School's alumni network was the strongest in the world. The 'Doscos', as old boys are known, go on to dominate public life.
The Times of India, India Today, the Hindustan Times and key Indian news channels have all been led by Doscos. Two key figures of South Asian literature, Vikram Seth and Amitav Ghosh, were editors of the school paper, the Doon Weekly. Seven generals went to Doon, plus a handful of air marshals and admirals for good measure. The career of world-famous sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor, who designed the Orbit Tower at London's Olympic Park, can be traced back to the school's art department.
But the school's most famous alumnus was former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. When he unexpectedly came to power in 1984, he rallied a group of his old school chums to lead the country. Together they became known as the 'Doon Cabinet'.
Though they may go on to great things, during their time at the Doon, boys lead a spartan existence. 'Back in the 1930s, a Maharaja's son came to the school on an elephant with his whole royal entourage,' says the deputy head master. 'They had to tell him to leave everything behind. Equality is important here.'
The school ethos centres around four values: egalitarianism, secularism, service and democracy. In many ways, these values reflect the founding ideals of the Indian National Congress party, which at the school's formation was the dominant political force in the country.
In the dying days of the British Raj it was thought that if India and the new Indian elite did not hold true to these ideals, the nation would disintegrate. So these values are hammered into the boys at every turn.
Each student gets one locker and a row of hooks. Clothing is all identical — right down to the football boots. At neighbouring schools it's not unheard of for boys to bribe guards to bring in drugs and prostitutes. Doon, by contrast, is a completely cashless society.
On my tour, the teachers proudly point towards a large airless dorm room with 20 beds arranged in rows. Several boys lie across their mattresses, exhausted in the stifling midday humidity.
The deputy tells me: 'Unlike other private boarding schools we don't give our students a luxurious time… It's character-building.'
Of the school's ten headmasters, five have been British — a surprising statistic at a school which serves as a training ground for the post-colonial elite. Matthew Raggett was appointed last year and he has an ambitious agenda.
'The irony of being the only British guy in the school presiding over the celebrations for Indian Independence Day was just hilarious,' he says.
Silhouetted against the croquet lawn, the new headmaster serves Twinings tea and samosas. Though dressed for the weather in cargo shorts, he strikes an impressive figure as he sits on his veranda and talks candidly about the school's past successes and current flaws.
'It's difficult to take the elitism out of the kids when some of them can go home to so much luxury,' he says. 'I think what they do appreciate is that an air of entitlement isn't appealing.
'There are things called "favours" here,' he continues. 'Older boys ask younger boys to collect a morning snack. Collect my football boots. Come and give me a massage during the swimming competition. I've seen it.'
'There's a notion here that as a prefect you get "favours" done for you, and you can administer punishments, without really understanding what that says about your leadership position. That needs to change.
'It's the abuse of power, and the imbalance of power that's not right. And it's understanding that. But again it's difficult. Because we're in a culture which is so servant-based.'
'This is a school for the future leaders of India.' Raggett gestures behind him. 'Outside that wall, this is still a country that operates on power and prestige.'
Given the country's huge population, India's education system relies heavily on exam performance. With their futures hanging on as little as half a mark, many students will spend any free time they have cramming in tutoring centres.
The result, says Raggett, is a tendency for Indian students to be strong at rote learning and regurgitating information, but weak in many other respects. This, he believes, is a huge shame.
'Being a new democracy there's a culture of good argument here; students have an opinion or thought on just about everything. And in six years' time, we'll have a different curriculum which will lead to critical thinking… and a recognition that the world isn't black and white. '
'Delhi's Daughter' amongst Al Jazeera's best photos of 2016
Honoured to have my photo of a poor ragpicker girl in Delhi selected as one of Al Jazeera'a best photos of 2016.
Girl wipes her eyes atop Bhalswa Dump, Delhi
Photo: William Brown for AJE ••• Every day Delhi produces around 10,000 metric tonnes of solid waste – roughly the weight of the Eiffel Tower. Official estimates predict that in 5 years the waste produced by the city will almost double to 18,000 tonnes a day. Bhalswa landfill towers above its surroundings. At 50 metres high and 40 acres across, it is a flaming mountain of decomposing waste. Due to social stigma across India, rag pickers face terrible discrimination and communities are often blighted by alcoholism, literacy and drug abuse. Campaigners say many of the children working on the municipal sites in Delhi are orphans or separated and thus highly vulnerable to sexual abuse or being trafficked into sex slavery.
The Guardian | India currency note ban sparks 'dramatic fall' in sex trafficking
India's rupee recall appears to have had "a massive impact" on the country's human trafficking industry, according to advocacy and rescue groups, with some reporting reductions of up to 90% in the number of women and girls being admitted to their shelters.
But other activists said the illegal trade was already rebounding, and that the financial strain of demonetisation on poor communities was pushing new, younger girls into sex work, and forcing women already in the industry to work for credit or for free.
The Guardian contacted 10 human trafficking advocacy and rescue groups to assess the impact of the Indian government's shock decision last month to scrap the country's two most used bank notes.
Demonetisation complicated every point in the human trafficking supply chain, starting with a "drastic reduction in the number of sex buyers", said Sunita Krishnan, the co-founder of Prajwala, a Hyderabad-based NGO that rescues victims of sex slavery.
The dearth of customers for sex workers meant "it obviously did not make any sense to induct any new girls in this period", Krishnan said. "In my shelter home, on average every month 60 to 70 new, rescued victims are admitted. From 8 November [the day demonetisation was announced] in the last 40 days, only six new victims have been admitted.
"I have been on this mission for more than two decades, and this is the first time I've seen the entire flesh trade so badly affected."
There are 18 million people living in slavery in India, according to the 2016 Global Slavery Index, with about 135,000 children believed to be trafficked in the country every year.
Ashok Rajgor, the chief investigation officer at the Rescue Foundation, said no formal surveys had been conducted, "but our operatives in the field have noticed a sharp change".
Fewer customers for brothels meant that traffickers had less capital to buy and transport women and girls from states such as Jharkhand, Assam and Bihar, all hubs for the trade.
"The market is totally down," he said. "When you buy a girl, it's a huge amount of money, maybe 200,000 rupees. It's really big money and nowadays it's very difficult to get that kind of cash."
But he added: "The traffickers will look for other options. It's too early to say how, but they'll manage."
The introduction of a new 2,000-rupee note, while supplies of small change remained scarce, had distorted the market, making younger girls more vulnerable, said Ruchira Gupta, the founder of Apne Aap, an NGO that works with women across Bihar and in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.
"The demand for younger girls is going up," Gupta said. "Now that [they] have only 2,000 rupee notes, clients don't want older women, they want virgins and underage girls."
She said the financial impact of demonetisation had left some women without enough money to buy food and their daughters at risk of being pushed into sex work.
Pimps, who in some red-light districts will take up to 70% of what a sex worker is paid, were beginning to force women to work for credit, she added.
"Women's debt is increasing. Where we work in [the Delhi red light district] GB Road, I'm being told that brothel managers have started to keep log books, promising to pay the women later," she said. "These women are being asked to work for free. They have to sleep with as many man as the pimps say just to have a bed and a meal."
Other women were paid in old, invalid 500 rupee notes. "And the pimps are forcing them to take the money. [The women] have to stand at the bank for hours ever day [to exchange or deposit the notes]. Their income has been dramatically reduced," she said.
Swati Maliwal, the head of the Delhi Commission for Women, which has been campaigning to have GB Road shut down and the women working there retrained, said her teams had observed similar phenomena. "The exploitation of women on GB Road has increased tremendously because men are coming and not paying them properly," she said, adding that some women had started sleeping with up to 30 men each day to make ends meet.
Often, trafficked women lacked the identity papers required to set up a bank account to exchange void currency for new notes – meaning some had seen their cash savings wiped out, said Urmi Basu, head of the Kolkata-based New Light Foundation. "There are thousands of women who have no documentation, no bank accounts, apart from a few hundred rupees they tuck under their blouses," she said.
A "very big slowdown" had been observed in the child labour trade, said Rakesh Singhal, from the NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan.
He said his organisation – whose founder, Kailash Satyarthi, won the Nobel peace prize in 2014 for his work – had commissioned a study of the impact of demonetisation on the industry.
"But we have observations that show a very big slowdown," Singhal said. "Most of the placement agencies for children say there is no domestic child labour supply.
"The whole trafficking industry runs on liquid money, you're paying the whole supply chain, including agents in village areas, who are paying between 5,000 and 10,000 rupees for each child."
All agreed the decline in the trade was likely to be temporary. "Trafficking is an organised crime, and traffickers and people involved in this crime adapt to newer means whenever there is a change in situations and the external environment," said Prabhat Kumar, the general manager of Save the Children, India.

The Spectator | Britain must lead the global fight against modern slavery
It has been 200 years since Britain abolished the slave trade and sent the Royal Navy out to enforce the ban across the world. Times have changed. Yet slavery at home and abroad is booming like nothing else. Theresa May knows this. It's no wonder that alongside the chaos of Brexit negotiations she has made it her mission to fight what she calls 'the great human rights issue of our time'. As the longest-serving home secretary for decades, she understands the nature of this barbaric business.
Last week, the Prime Minister made her latest move to combat modern slavery. She convinced six Gulf countries to sign up to the WeProtect Global Alliance – a British-led international coalition dedicated to the eradication of online child sexual abuse and exploitation. Theresa May spoke of how the fight against global slavery could not be fought by countries operating in isolation. She then announced that the UK Border Force would start training staff from Gulf-based airlines to help them spot trafficking victims.
In many ways, Britain is leading the fight against modern slavery and sex trafficking. The introdution of the Modern Slavery Act last year and the appointment of the first independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner were revolutionary moves. Large companies must now show evidence of how they are combatting slavery in their supply chain, and in July, the government pledged £33 million a year from the aid budget to combat human trafficking rackets.
These are all strong moves on a long-neglected issue but far more needs to be done. International figures are almost incomprehensible. Recent estimates suggest that there are around 46 million people in some form of slavery around the world and that globally, forced labour generates around $150 billion a year.
Reporting from Delhi, I've seen a small slice of the horrors of slavery first hand. In the capital's main red light district, several thousand women and children live in abominable conditions. Local volunteers working with the sex workers recently told me that around 90 percent of them had been trafficked in some way from poverty-stricken Indian states or across the border from post-earthquake Nepal. Some had been sold into sex work by their families, others had been told they were going to well-paid domestic work. Many were simply snatched off the street and locked up in isolation, before being raped until they complied.
India has around 40 percent – 18 million – of the world's modern day slaves. Here, trafficking networks are sophisticated and brutal. They take advantage of mass poverty and a repressive caste system to make copious amounts of money; they bribe whole police stations if they need to and silence those who stand against them with impunity.
But this isn't just the problem of a far-off land. Ministers estimate that there are currently 10,000 – 13,000 people enslaved in Britain. A close friend of mine worked for years trying to rehabilitate trafficked women in Northern Ireland. Most of the women she helped were from eastern Europe. They had been flown to Dublin with the promise of good work, then smuggled over the Irish border and kept in underground brothels as sex slaves. When they were freed, some of them couldn't talk for days. The refuge they ended up in was underfunded and overstretched.
Theresa May's commitment to combating modern slavery is significant. But the simple fact is that we as a country can do so much more. In both India and the UK, activists have told me that a key problem they face is awareness of slavery. Most of us don't believe it's happening around us. 'Not in my town,' we say. But up and down Britain, from Northumbrian fields and Mancunian brothels to middle-England suburbia, people are exploited on our doorsteps.
The government needs a high-profile public awareness campaign. A July review of the Modern Slavery Act found that the training of police officers and prosecutors was patchy and sometimes absent. So, the campaign would also need to include promoting more awareness within the criminal and legal system.
The days of British gunboat diplomacy are long gone, but Britain could make sure it's not just paying lip service to the issue. As a country, we could triple our anti-slavery campaign's £33 million funding at home and abroad without a bat of Philip Hammond's eyelid.

Al Jazeera| Delhi's dilemma: What to do with its tonnes of waste?
Mountains of waste are dumped in open spaces where children can often be seen picking through the sometimes toxic material.
With Delhi's population more than doubling since 1990, the city's waste management infrastructure has been stretched beyond its limit. Every day Delhi produces around 10,000 metric tonnes of solid waste – roughly the weight of the Eiffel Tower. Official estimates predict that in five years the waste produced by the city will almost double to 18,000 tonnes a day.
Recently, India's Supreme Court, angered by the apparent inaction on the issue, delivered a damning criticism of the city's municipalities, saying that if Delhi's waste was not managed properly the city faced an impending disaster.
Dozens of children, some as young as five, work alongside adults or in small groups with other children in northwest Delhi's Bhalswa – one of three landfill sites in the city.
Although child labour is outlawed in India, UNICEF estimates that there are about 10.2 million children currently working in the country.
"On paper, these landfills are meant to be 'sanitary' landfills. But in reality, no precautions are taken. There's no scientific process or segregation process. Almost 90 percent of the budget of the [Delhi] municipalities is spent on transporting waste, rather than managing waste," said Vimlendu Jha, the executive director of Swechha, a Delhi-based NGO campaigning for social action on environmental issues.
"These are faceless, nameless individuals."
The New Delhi Municipal Council, which manages Delhi's waste, declined to comment on child labour at the landfill sites.

Scroll | 'The cultural moorings are still there. Now you can get feta cheese too': William Dalrymple on Delhi
Legend has it that "he who rules Delhi, rules India." Many have tried and failed to rule the city and reap the wealth of the northern plains. Between heaving crowds and manic traffic lie the centuries old remains of what historians call the "Seven Cities of Delhi". But today the city isn't just a graveyard of empires. Delhi is the nursery of the Indian Republic and the nerve centre of the new India.
William Dalrymple, one of the greatest travel writers of the last fifty years, first came to Delhi aged 18. He's stayed longer than most travellers. Arrival in this city is a shock and what with the stifling heat, crowds, touts, and poverty, within a few days most flee north for the Himalayas, west to the grandeur of Rajasthan, or south to Goa's idyllic beaches. Few have it in them to weather Delhi's assault on the senses for long. But three decades on, aged 51, Dalrymple's still wandering through Delhi's streets.
Over the last thirty years, Delhi has exploded across its neighbouring states. In the nineteenth century, Europe was in awe of industrialising Manchester, as the population boomed to the dizzying heights of two million people and the city swallowed towns like Salford and Bolton whole. Today in Delhi, the story is much the same, but on an incomprehensible scale. Every day over half of Spain – 25 million people – jostle for work here.
Early start
Dalrymple rose to notoriety in 1989 when, at just 22, he published In Xanadu – a travelogue in which he retraces Marco Polo's thirteenth century journey from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to Kublai Khan's Summer Palace in Shangdu, China.
After the tremendous success of In Xanadu, Dalrymple returned to Delhi, eking out an existence working as a freelance journalist for several years, before completing his second book, an award winning account of his love affair with the city – City of Djinns.
For Dalrymple, Delhi in the late 1980s "possessed a bottomless seam of stories: tales receding far beyond history, deep into the cavernous chambers of myth and legend." Continually pillaged and fought over, the city seemed to him to be in a constant state of regeneration as it absorbed, tamed and outlasted those who sought to dominate it.
Over the four years it took him to write City of Djinns, he peeled back the layers of the ancient city, and explored Delhi's seven "dead" cities, and showed that there was far more to the city than the obvious everyday squalor. According to Dalrymple, the city's central paradox in the 1980s was that that even though it was one of the oldest towns in the world, what with the Partition, the evacuation of much of Delhi's old Muslim population and the influx of refugees, Delhi "was inhabited by a population most of whose roots in the ancient city soil stretched back only forty years." Despite this, "Somehow different areas of Delhi seemed to have preserved intact different centuries, even different millennia."
After several years in Delhi, Dalrymple traded the hubbub for a quiet, spacious Mehrauli farm south of the city, where he hosts regular lavish parties for Delhi's cultural elite. A prolific writer, hidden behind mountains of books and endless artefacts from his travels, with chickens and goats wandering by, he has gone on to publish eight more bestselling works.
Clad in simple Indian cotton and sporting a respectable beard, he is a warm and merry character, always willing to dish out the red wine and show you the steps to the Talking Heads.
But over the years Delhi's caught up with him in this leafy retreat. Outside the collection of gated farms, he resides in, the city thunders on into Rajasthan, with five lane traffic and metro overpasses only a few minutes away.
"It's strange being a middle-aged travel writer. My first three books read like history."
"In Xanadu records an Asia where Syria and Pakistan were endlessly hospitable and the safest and kindest places to go. City of Djinns records a bucolic rural Delhi. And From the Holy Mountain records the extant Christian community of the Middle East."
"These places don't exist anymore. Who knows, maybe I'll be quoted by historians in five hundred years."
"City of Djinns is a record of a city that no longer exists. A city where there were no cars on the road, where everyone worked a government job, where everyone drove one model of car, the Ambassador. Delhi was a slightly dull Washington-like city unless you pottered around the old city where everything got more interesting."
"None of that is the case anymore."
Bad city
Dalrymple's brow furrows.
"There's a huge stigma attached to the place, now. It's now regarded as the rape capital of India. And as having the worst traffic jams in India, having the worst pollution in India and the worst corruption."
In 2012, Delhi was thrown into the international spotlight when a 23-year-old student was gang-raped and tortured on a bus in the south of the city. She died of her injuries a few days later. Almost overnight the city became synonymous with rape and sexual harassment.
Reflecting on this, Dalrymple says, "For all that I love this city, it's a place where I worry about my wife and daughter going out at night unescorted. The violence does exist. It is a violent city. It's not an entirely new thing. It's been a traumatised place. It's one of these cities like Jerusalem where massacres have taken place throughout history – it's a very masculinised society. This is different from Goa, Bombay, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where women are safer and have more rights."
"But," Dalrymple continues, "the question of women in Delhi is a very complicated one. Because in many ways at elite levels it's a city run by women. There are more strong women in the city than there are in perhaps any other city."
"They run a lot of the things that actually work well in the city. And often at parties I see this as a city of henpecked husbands. These amazing Indian women, beautiful, clever, well-educated. There's a much higher priority in the Indian elite on really educating the women in the family. I'd say more so than there was in my generation of British women. The elite women here are really incredible."
Turning back to the question of Delhi's phenomenal expansion, Dalrymple says, "The city has really changed while I've been here. I mean, you still meet people, not very old people who can remember taking the bus out to Qutub Minar through fields of mustard."
"A couple of months ago I went back to this beautiful old ruined Mughal garden called Shalimar Bagh. When I last saw it, it was surrounded by ruined houses, scruffy orchards and basically open land. And now it's entirely hemmed in, in the midst of these enormous buildings and overpasses. It's solid Delhi as far as you can see. It was a sunny afternoon and the park was packed with people doing exercises. It was quite sad, really."
"But almost everything I really loved and wrote about Delhi in the City of Djjins is still there," Dalrymple continues on a more upbeat note. "Yes, it's more smoggy, more built-up. You just need to look harder for it now."
"There are still old colonels walking around Lodi gardens with their swagger sticks. Nizamuddin is there and even more interesting and crowded with Sufis. There are still old gentleman calligraphers in frock coats in the old city, the sadhus at Nigambodh Ghats where they say the Puranas were washed ashore. There are still lustful Sikhs driving taxis."
"All the central cultural moorings are still there, it's just that now you can get feta cheese and watch the new Western movies."
"I've never dreamed of living anywhere else."

The Telegraph | Young people can still have a cosmopolitan future outside the EU
The Brexit generation must fight for a tolerant, open Britain.
Recently I was asked to judge at a prestigious private school debating competition in the wealthy suburbs of Delhi. The topic? The effects of Brexit on Europe and India. The school's logic: this recently-graduated Brit working in India must know a thing or two.
With the typical panache of the Indian elite, sixth-formers lined up to argue the pros and cons of Brexit. One particularly erudite girl stood out. Acknowledging Brexit's immediate negative economic impact, she argued forcibly that Britain had always been a global, cosmopolitan country, and that it always would be. For her, Brexit presented an opportunity for a golden era of cooperation between young Indians and Brits.
Like many of my generation I must confess that I felt a genuine sense of loss on the 24 of June. I felt that umpteen opportunities to live, work and study abroad had been stolen from me, that British cosmopolitanism had suffered a terrible blow. But somehow the optimism of a well-educated teenager on the far side of the world bolstered my spirits.
Of course, she was right. As a generation, we can't afford to be shrill or hysterical. Young Brits' potential for an international, cosmopolitan life did not die with the Brexit vote.
For those already living in Europe, the practical outcome of any negotiations, be they "hard" or "soft", will most probably be a simple EU visa application. The vast majority of which will be accepted without the bat of a continental eyelid. Put simply, Europe cannot afford to expunge young Brits from the continent. There will be no iron curtain; it won't suddenly become impossible to do a Masters in Amsterdam, live in Berlin and retire to Spain. There may be some punishment for Britain exiting the EU. But for all their hard talk, no one, least of all the French, can afford to use the guillotine.
Yes, young people will lose their automatic right to live and work in Europe. But the option will still be there for anyone with the drive and desire to do so – something which the UK government must work hard to ensure.
Meanwhile, there are many other countries we will be "forced" to consider once the comfort of absolute free movement around the EU is removed. Indeed, we must look forward. The world is on the move with or without us. Cities are booming with growth rates barely comprehensible to European minds so used to near-stagnation. Vast swathes of the world's population are tumbling head over heel into a thriving global middle-class.
From Cape Town to Buenos Aires, from Mumbai to Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh, never before has the world been so rich and accessible. Never before have young Brits been so well placed to engage and learn from it.
A British passport will remain a powerful asset to any young person wishing to live and work abroad. With their natural fluency in the world's international language, English, and a high degree of education and skills, young Brits will remain highly desirable for immigration departments everywhere.
Of course, in a time when we run the risk of closing ourselves off, the government must do everything in its power to prevent isolationism and give the youth international experience. More funding must be made available for international internships and for small businesses looking to expand overseas. Where possible, travel and working visa applications must be streamlined.
Organisations like the International Citizens' Service and the British Council are more important now than ever before and must be strengthened. Erasmus – which gives UK students opportunities to study across Europe – must be safeguarded. These schemes are a drop in the ocean for the Treasury, but of immense cultural importance.
We must not fool ourselves. As a society there are some incredibly serious issues we need to face up to. The recent spate of xenophobic attacks represents the worst elements of British culture. It is right to be cautious. But the bile emitted in the face of several haggard-looking child refugees is poisonous at best; we cannot let our great culture of liberalism and tolerance be replaced by primitive atavism and ignorance.
Whether it be in online, on the bus, or down the pub, if we are to remain a free, liberal and open society these elements must be fought with every fibre of our being. We must open ourselves up to a brave new world.
