Rotary Founder Paul Harris In the beginning… The first Rotary club was organized in Chicago in 1905, by Paul P. Harris. The club, with four members, met in rotation at the offices of the members - thus the name Rotary. Growth began immediately. Less that 15 years later there were over 1,000 clubs around the world.
Service Above Self Rotary was not long to recognize that fellowship alone would not keep a group together — there needed to be a purpose. The first service project was a to buy a new horse for a preacher whose horse had died in Chicago. Rotary became the world's first service club.

Does Jeremy Mayfield seriously think he still has a future in NASCAR?
There are 20 comments on the AutoWeek story from Jan 20, 2013, titled Does Jeremy Mayfield seriously think he still has a future in NASCAR?. In it, AutoWeek reports that:
Jeremy Mayfield, shown here in 2009, remains hopeful that he will be able to resume his NASCAR driving career.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at AutoWeek.
#1 Jan 20, 2013
Not a chance. At 200 mph. You want 100% certainty the guy near u is not on drugs. No second chances with him. Too many other things out there like stolen goods. Lying about not finding the drug testing facility ( who calls their lawyer on their way to a random drug test?), and on and on with the meth. I Dont want to race on the same track. I Dont want my family on the same highway with him.
#2 Jan 20, 2013
No chance. He had an opportunity when this first happened to go on road ro recovery. He chose the low road. Too bad he wobt be back
#3 Jan 23, 2013
Actually it's possible. AJ Allmendinger returned, so why can't Jeremy?
#4 Jan 24, 2013
AJ did not cause all the court cases with Nascar. He has not been in court for stealing and Meth being found in his home. AJ acted like a man and went through the recovery program.
Jeremy acted like a dam fool and turned criminal so Nascar don't need him back. He needs to just shut up and forget about racing.
#5 Feb 20, 2013
WERE does Jeremy live at this time and does anyone know is email?

#7 Feb 21, 2013
Well he is a purty boy, always makin sure his hair looked nice for the camara. I always had a hard time believing he would do something so stupid to jeapordize his racing career. Long time drug users become very obvious, always having nasal problems.
#8 Feb 21, 2013
I reckon there are people who never made a mistake in life, but I have never met them. Good luck, Jeremy! L8R. DD.
#9 Feb 24, 2013
Great come back Denver ,im with you brother.I wish everyone could be perfict,'' Not''.Anyone who thinks they are needs to go back to there little world and stay there.
#10 Jun 10, 2013
he is 44 now,he may not be a bad man,but he is a old man in the nascar world.
Since: Jun 07
#11 Jun 11, 2013
I can't imagine anyone is simple minded enough to think this man will ever be allowed near the racing surface of any NASCAR facility again. He's a total embarrassment to himself and the sport of auto racing. if the dummy doesn't straighten out his life quick, his next gig is going to be the butt-buddy for some big hairy knuckled dude in the North Carolina prison system.
#12 Jun 11, 2013
You say such nice things...a fan of a has been talking...so you must get nasty! L8R. DD.
#13 Jun 11, 2013
I understand what your saying, but this was not a one time mistake. He failed a drug test, was allowed to race again and failed another drug test. Years later he gets caught again with drugs. You have to wonder if what his step mom says was true all along.
Jeremy deserves to move along with his life, however not in Nascar, that door was closed after his 2nd or 3rd drug instance.
#14 Jun 11, 2013
No, I don't want him back in ANY race car if he is guilty. Could it possible be that what he has maintained all along (Adderall and Claritin-D) could show a false positive? I guess Jeremy and his wife, and his ex-wife know for sure. I just don't know why people don't just tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, NASCAR included! L8R. DD.
Since: May 12

#15 Jun 11, 2013
If guilty, Jeremy should have come out and admitted that he has a problem and reached-out for help....people forgive those with problems and he could have raced truck and lower tier nationwide...everyone reading this has done stupid, regrettable things
At this point, I do not think a national sponsor would even consider him....
#16 Jun 11, 2013
Amen, just Sayn. I know only about me, and I am not perfect...by a long shot! L8R. DD.
#17 Jun 11, 2013
He was never a good driver.
#18 Jun 11, 2013
Anything's possible, however all the fact and circumstances together wouldn't lead any normal person to assume his innocence. Seems to be plenty of evidence to confirm suspicion.
One time maybe he is telling the truth, multiple times with several people confirming the suspicions then no. He just needs to man up, tell the truth and get help, otherwise he will never move on with his life.

George Harrison and the Beatles
too much stashed this in Video Fascination
Stashed in: Awesome, Music Videos!, Beatles!
i've made peace with darkness before...
is there room for any light?
i hope so
I am so sorry! That was not my intent at all! I love the melody. How about "Norwegian Wood"?
I'm typing from my phone; when I get to a computer later I'll try to find something lovely.
I was around for this! As a teen (I was 16 in '71) I remember seeping myself in the lyrics, watching the vinyl spin, wearing bleeding madras (look it up!):
"Beware of Darkness" is a ballad containing dense imagery.[2] The song marks a return to the spiritual concerns of Harrison's songs with the Beatles such as "Within You Without You."[3] [4] The lyrics of "Beware of Darkness" reflect the philosophy of the Radha Krishna Temple, with which Harrison was involved, in which spiritual concerns must always override material things.[3] In the verses, the listener is warned against various influences that may corrupt him or her.[3] Among the potential corrupting influences are con men ("soft shoe shufflers"), politicians ("greedy leaders") and pop idols of little substance ("falling swingers").[3] [2] In addition, the lyrics warn against negative thoughts ("thoughts that linger"), because these corrupting influences and negative thoughts can lead to maya, or illusion, which distracts people from the true purpose of life.[3] [2] [4] [5] The middle eight delivers the message that this "can hurt you", and that "that is not what you are here for."[2]
Author Simon Leng describes the melody of "Beware of Darkness" as "complex and highly original."[4] The melody of the verses incorporates a pedal point on the key of G major and moves to G sharp minor, a progression Leng claims "should not work in harmonic terms", using as an analogy a count of "one, two, six", but notes that somehow the melody manages to work.[4] [6] Music professor Wilfrid Mellers explains the effectiveness of this key shift as dramatising the "beware" in the lyrics.[6] Similarly, Mellers claims that harmonic movement from the key of C sharp minor to D major to C major "creates the 'aimless' wandering of 'each unconscious sufferer'" described in the lyrics.[6] The nearly chromatic melody of the verses contrasts with a more standard rock melody in the middle eight.[4] Musicians on the song include Harrison, Eric Clapton and Dave Mason on guitar, Carl Radle on bass guitar, Bobby Whitlock on piano, Gary Wright on organ and Ringo Starr on drums.[4] [3]
It was one of his first endeavors post-Beatles, right? They probably didn't let him go so complex.
It seemed to me at the time that he had led the Beatles east, far east, and when they returned home, he stayed behind - metaphorically, metaphysically and musically.
Here's the story behind The Concert for Bangla Desh (during which Leon Russell sang a little (and the audience went wild!)). Great read, I have to say, and provides the bedrock history of benefit concerts.
The Concert for Bangladesh – originally titled The Concert for Bangla Desh – is a live triple album by George Harrison and celebrity friends, released on Apple Records in December 1971 in America and January 1972 in Britain. The album followed the two concerts of the same name, held on 1 August 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden, featuring Harrison, Bob Dylan, Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell and Eric Clapton. The shows were a pioneering charity event, in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War, and set the model for future multi-artist rock benefits such as Live Aid (1985) and The Concert for New York City (2001).
That is freaking awesome. I wish there were more multi-artist rock benefits.

Vettel rues costly mistake in Spa qualifying
By Alan Baldwin
SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium (Reuters) - Sebastian Vettel rued a costly mistake as Ferrari's hopes of making their 900th race one to remember suffered a setback at the Belgian Grand Prix on Saturday.
Sebastian Vettel qualified ninth for what will be his 150th race start, but will start one place higher up the grid thanks to Romain Grosjean being penalized, while Kimi Raikkonen was only 14th after his car broke down.
Although Raikkonen could not be blamed for that misfortune, Vettel held up his hand for his own poor performance after winning the previous race in Hungary at the end of July.
"The last race doesn't matter now, but it's always disappointing when you consider I had a good feeling throughout," said the four-times world champion, who has won twice this year.
"I was fine until the last corner where I lost too much time. I went in a bit too deep, had a very poor exit and lost quite a lot of time, two tenths.
"It was a costly mistake and I'm not happy with myself," added the German.
Despite the setback, Vettel said Ferrari had the speed to make up ground in the race even if Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have been dominant all weekend at the longest circuit on the calendar.
"Our straightline speed is good and that makes me fairly confident for the race as this is a place where you can overtake," he said. Continued...

So today we decided to adventure to Torremelinos (15 miles south of Malaga), again just because we've heard of Brits going there. This time we have no Aires or ACSI campsites so we're on our own.

I wanted to make something sweet for my kids.

Favela Funk: Ways of Being Young in the Margins of a City Becoming Global
During the last decade, funk music produced in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro has been travelling the world as a genre of contemporary cool. Construed as both hip and authentic, and consumed globally, it has become a political and commercial asset in the nation's rise to economic dominance and in Rio's campaign to become a global city. But in Brazil, favela funk is rather drawing the boundaries between the shanty towns of the urban margins where it remains a social practice, and the state by which it is condemned and sometimes prohibited for lyrics that play with violence and the obscene in an alleged glorification of gang power. This dissertation is an ethnographic inquiry into the politics, economy and history of funk music in one of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. It tells the story of how a drug dealing gang challenges the sovereignty of the state in its turf by means of both arms and the control and distribution of pleasure and fun. Funk, in this account, emerges as an immensely popular social practice and thus a technology of drug dealing power. By treating violence and the obscene as both unifying and fragmenting in the social dynamics of this place, the dissertation unravels the paths that favela youth trudge in contexts of severe poverty, vulnerability and lack of access to state institutions and formal employment.

Novel Genetic Pathway May Underlie Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Scientists at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute report the discovery of a new genetic process that they say might one day provide a novel target for the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as intellectual disability and autism.
The research study, which appears in the December issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, was led by Carl Ernst, Ph.D., a Douglas Institute researcher and an assistant professor in McGill University's department of psychiatry. He and his colleagues found that genetic mutations that negatively affect brain development can occur in a gene family of previously unknown function in the human genome.
According to the World Health Organization, neurodevelopmental disorders affect one in six children in industrialized countries. Impairing the growth and development of the brain or central nervous system, neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a broad range of conditions, including developmental delay, autism spectrum disorders, and cerebral palsy. People with neurodevelopmental disorders can experience difficulties with language, speech, learning, behavior, motor skills, and memory.
Mutations in genes are thought to underlie many neurodevelopmental disorders, but all genes important for brain development found to date are in a single pathway. Prior to the current study, all genetic mutations important for neurodevelopmental disorders occurred in genes that make protein.
The work of the Ernst team identified an important shortcut in the process of making functional molecules for brain development. By sequencing the genomes of 200 people with neurodevelopmental disorders and chromosomal abnormalities, and comparing the results to more than 15,000 control samples, the researchers made a surprising discovery: some individuals had mutations in a gene that did not make protein.
"Our discovery tells us that mutations in genes that code only for RNA and do not make protein can have a functional impact and lead to neurodevelopmental abnormalities," says Dr. Ernst. "In previous studies of brain development, RNA was just considered a middle player, one that only served as a template for the production of proteins."
By opening up a new area of study involving RNA, the Ernst group aims to advance understanding of the underlying causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. "We hope to shine a new light on how the brain develops," he says.

My name's Amalia Lima. I am 19, a graphic design student, an experienced model, and a San Diego native. I'm looking to collaborate with serious, creative, and like-minded photographers and MUAs. My look and facial features are extremely versatile, making me the perfect candidate for a wide scope of work. Though I'm striving to break into the pin-up/alternative scene, a large part of me will always reside with lifestyle and glamour, so I will forever actively seek gigs as both.
Here's a quick rundown on me:
-Half Salvadoran, half Irish
-Despite being Hispanic, I am VERY FAIR.
-I have HIPS and a BOOTY. Check my measurements before you book me. Don't hit me up if you're not wanting to shoot petite curves.
-3 tattoos: neck, side, ankle (in talks of 1/4 sleeve)
-My hair is LONG. We're talking extreme lower back.
-Piercings: navel, nose, cartilage, tragus, double pierce lobes (2 standard, 2 6g), all of which can be easily removed or concealed)
-No, I repeat, NO nudes, fully, partial, implied, "artistic", or the like.
-Fully capable of doing my own hair/makeup/styling
-I'm happily engaged to my boyfriend of five years. There's a fine line between complimenting and utter creepiness, best know where it is or I'll drop our booking on account of your lack of professionalism.
With all that said, if you like my look and think we would work well together, don't hesitate to send me a message.

Interprocess communication with D-Bus and HAL
It's the end of the line for CORBA! Gnome now relies on the D-Bus messaging system, and KDE is in the process of migrating.
Nobody likes applications that spend all day sitting in the corners of the desktop and refusing to talk to anything else. The least you might expect would be for them to exchange data with other desktop residents using simple drag & drop techniques. But many users expect their programs to demonstrate more advanced communication skills at all levels. Of course, users want pluggable USB disks no matter what program they are using. And VOIP softphones should make friends with the new hardware when you change the headset without demanding a reboot. To allow this to happen, a Linux system needs a communication system that lets desktop applications talk to one another and to the underlying levels right down through the kernel to the hardware. And if the Freedesktop developers have any say in the matter, D-Bus [1], which relies on Hardware Abstraction Layer HAL [2], will be the communication system for future generations of Linux.

Problem is, most of the other ice dance teams have been working on their programs since the beginning of summer. P/G have a lot of lost time to make up, and Paul may not be able to train at full strength since he is still recovering from his injury. Piper may have been practicing in the meantime, but given the gap in ability between herself and Paul, her practicing alone isn't much help.
What G/P needed to do most since Worlds was work on their basic skating - lines, edges, unison, matching skating skills, dancing together skills. Those things take a lot of work and time. It requires both partners to work on this. Unfortunately, with him having been injured, this is likely not the priority now. It's about getting programs done, choreography learned, and enough together to be competitive. They are having to catch up with fellow competitors who have a number of months ahead of them. It does not bode well for them earning the 3rd spot. And I suspect any "benefit of the doubt" from Skate Canada and judges will likely be gone after last season's results, when they were healthy.
My prediction? I expect that P/I will be ready for a great year. They have a great training environment, lovely skating skills, and great coaches who did wonders for W/P confidence a few years ago. W/P are great role models for them. If they deliver, I think that 3rd spot will be theirs. If they don't deliver, I think R/H will be ready this season as well. They also were well-received a Worlds. If they have a good start to the season, quality programs - music, choreography, packaging, then they will be strong contenders for that 3rd spot as well. It should be a very interesting year in Canada in Senior Dance....
Speaking of that, I think it's time to start a "Canadian Ice Dance - 2013/2014 Edition" thread. It's going to be an exciting year in Senior, and I'm really curious to see how all the new, and some returning, Junior teams are going to fare. I hope to find some time over the next couple of weeks to look at all the video streaming from various competitions.

So can I trade in my PS3 for the $100 GC and then use that GC during black friday? I guess what I'm asking is if there are any restrictions on the GC that they are giving for trade ins.

Problems with this story:
1) 10 copies of any of the games in the ad in stock in store at any one time, even early sunday
2) a Best Buy manager giving enough of a )(&%^ to go on his personal lunch break to Walmart to perhaps find someone doing whatever
3) lo and behold finding not one or two but THREE nefarious characters out to screw corporate america in line AT THE SAME TIME AND PLACE on the managers lunch break
4) the charlatans openly having a conversation on how they were going to spend their ill gotten gains.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that found this odd. What are the chances that the manager decides to go to Walmart on his lunch break and just so happens to see the same people in line that he sold games to 2 days earlier? Not to mention that he managed to get close enough to overhear their plot of trading in games for groceries. I'm guessing that the op decided to hang around Bestbuy until the manager came back to give him a report..............People just come up with extreme stories just to prove a point.

Does your business have a bad reputation?

RnR Computers / LAIJIAN RUAN
Sells notebook mother boards Ebay that are defective and makes excuses not to repair.
I purchased the board and replaced it. Notified RnR that it was having the same issues. They said we could send the entire notebook to them to look at but that the boards bios probably needed to update since it was a new board. The issue continued to do the same as it was before until the screen is completly out again.
I contacted them and they are telling me that it is beyond their warranty period. Although when I purchased the board the listing stated 6 month warranty on the board. Now they have updated all of their listings to only be 60 days.
They are requesting me to contact Toshiba to get the issue fixed since its beyond their so called warranty period and not their problem now. After making calls to licensing offices in NYC they have no records of the company operating.

Pro-pot Peeps Seek More Marijuana Collectives in Santa Ana
We know some of you "legalize-it" people have a bad reputation for being lazeabouts, so we're giving you plenty of notice about an upcoming pro-pot meeting.
The Medical Marijuana Town Hall Meeting takes place Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Center Southwest, located at 2201 W. McFadden Ave. in Santa Ana.
Yes, it's free. Sheesh.
Scheduled panelists include retired police Lt. Diane Goldstein, cannabis expert Ed Rosenthal and Michael Krawitz, a veterans advocate.
The event will be sponsored by the Committee to Support Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiative and Orange County NORML.
For those who want a bigger hit off the legislative bong, a group of patients and advocates are looking to introduce a voter initiative that would allow for the legal operation of a set amount of medical marijuana collectives in some parts of Santa Ana.

Winning the Victory (9 of 12) by Jim Perdue
This content is part of a series.Winning the Victory (9 of 12)
Series: Breakthrough
Jim Perdue
Joshua 9-12
Today, we continue in our series entitled, ''Breakthrough.'' We've been studying the book of Joshua and learning about how to claim our inheritance in Jesus Christ. We have seen striking parallels between the nation of Israel and the church of God; between the enemies of Israel and the enemies that we face today.
*I have learned something about myself - I'm a pretty competitive person. I don't like to lose. I played racquetball regularly when I lived in Tennessee - didn't like it very much when I lost. And then when we moved here, I was a part of a flag football team - didn't like it when I lost. I help coach my boys in soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. And I know it's upward sports. I know you don't keep score. But I can still count! And I still don't like to lose! I want to win!*
But more importantly, I want our church to win. I want Second Baptist to experience the victory that God has promised us! A win for our church and for God's Kingdom is so much more important.
I know what some of you are thinking; ''Pastor, you talk to me about winning, about experiencing breakthrough in my life and in our church, but I don't know how. In fact, it seems like I live in a continuous cycle of defeat. I'm never the victor, always the victim, never triumph, always encounter tragedy, never on top of the mountain, always down in the valley.'' Well today, I believe God has a word for you from this book.
*We've been taking the back roads through Joshua on a nice, scenic drive. But today, we're going to hop on the interstate and study several chapters at one time.* But all four chapters center around one major theme: the people of God winning the victory!
Today, I want to talk to you about ''Winning the Victory.'' In chapters 9-12 of Joshua, I believe we see four principles that will ultimately lead to triumph on the part of God's people.

Born in Bradford, Tim Booth was recruited by British rock band James while at Manchester University in the 1980s. With Booth as lead singer and lyricist, James went on to sell more than 12m albums worldwide. The band supported the Smiths on their 1985 tour and reached No 2 in the UK singles chart in 1991 with Sit Down. In 2001, Booth left the band to teach the movement meditation practice 5Rhythms, before releasing his first solo album, Bone, in 2004. Following acting roles in Batman Begins and The Manchester Passion, he rejoined James in 2007. The band released their 10th studio album, Hey Ma, and embarked on an international tour in 2008, while Booth has also continued his acting and solo music career. James' latest album, Le Petite Mort, is out now. Leah Harper
Performance: DV8
DV8 are the physical theatre company founded by Lloyd Newson. Their work is incredible, powerful and quite punishing. The first DV8 piece I saw was called Strange Fish [1992] – it was the greatest performance, in any medium, that I have ever witnessed. It was mainly about sexual relationships, loneliness and desire – you can get the DVD. It started with a naked woman on a cross, crucified and singing this incredible aria, and it ended with them ripping up the stage and you discovered that there was water underneath. I've seen nearly everything DV8 have done. Newson was given an OBE at Christmas and the fact that this gay, cutting-edge genius could be recognised by the establishment made me feel, for a moment, really proud to be British.
Festival: Burning Man
I'm going to Burning Man festival for the fourth time this summer – the last time I went was my stag week and I cycled around in a wedding dress and a fur coat the whole time. Adults go to Burning Man to become children. It's a festival that focuses on creating amazing art and then, at the end, it's burned. It's about art for art's sake, with no commercial interest. There's no money allowed at Burning Man; you can't sell, buy or advertise anything. It's a gift culture and everybody's incredibly generous. I'll give you a story from the festival: during one Sunday morning dust storm, a Bentley pulled up in the middle of the desert and this guy got out wearing full butler livery, shaking a cocktail. He said, "Your midday vodka collins is ready for you, sir," then he poured us a cocktail, got back into his Bentley and drove off into the dust storm.
Book: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
David Mitchell is the most amazing author on the planet. I can understand why they tried to make a film adaptation of Cloud Atlas but you can't film that book. The language is too incredible. Writers are very important to me and I don't think there's a writer around like him. Cloud Atlas is hard to get into because it jumps between two time zones – at first, you don't know what's going on, but there's an accumulation within the structure that hits you like an avalanche about halfway through. I also read his The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, which was his second-to-last book, and thought it was one of the best books I'd ever read.
Theatre: Ronnie Burkett Theatre of Marionettes
Ronnie Burkett is a puppeteer from Canada. A friend of mine bought me a ticket to see his show at the Brighton festival about 10 years ago. I had the worst seat in the house, at the back of a huge auditorium. After 20 minutes, this old man puppet that I had got to rather like came on stage naked, got in the bath, had a heart attack and died – and I burst into tears. I was like, "What just happened?" I came out of the theatre and bought tickets for all my closest friends. Burkett won't let you have any interval – it can be two-and-a half hours long and you are stuck in that room. It's not for the faint of heart but I think he is a genius. He's a national treasure in Canada.
TV: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I sat through all 144 episodes of Buffy twice, with both my sons, and I think it's a masterpiece. [Buffy creator] Joss Whedon has been amazingly influential. I don't think True Blood, or Twilight, or The Returned would exist without it. Buffy was one of the first female heroines of that genre; now we're used to it with The Hunger Games. In the first series, Whedon felt he was writing for kids but then gradually it morphed into something deeply profound that Joseph Campbell, the great mythologist, would be proud of. He did a silent episode, a musical episode… after that first series, they haven't dated at all. They're still quite brilliant and witty and sharp and poignant; they can make you laugh and make you cry.
Place: Big Sur, California
I've just come back from Big Sur, and a place called the Esalen Institute. It's a 120-acre ranch on the cliff tops, overlooking the ocean. They have natural hot sulphur spring baths, where you can sit watching shooting stars – or in my case, watching the eclipse of the moon. The Esselen people said the land was sacred and too powerful to live on, so they only used it for ceremonies and burials. If you ever have any doubts that land can have vitality, then this is the place to go. I discovered Esalen when a women from the institute rang me in about 1994 and said, "You're meant to come to Esalen; I see you here." A year later, I went to work with her and I met the woman who became my wife.

"I was to join AAP today. But after discussions with my family members, I have decided not to join the party now. I deferred the decision," Mafat Patel told PTI.
He, however, did not clarify whether he would join the party at a later date. Speculation had gained ground in the last few days that Mafat was all set to join the AAP following its stunning performance in the Delhi Assembly elections.
BJP and Congress no longer represent the common man: Mafat Patel
The 76-year-old leader, who is estranged from his wife and lives separately for the last 20 years, and was a BJP member in the 1990s, said that national parties like BJP and Congress no longer represent the common man.
"BJP and Congress have no longer remained common man's parties. They don't think of the common man. They are only concerned with power and are least worried about serving people," he said.
Riding on an anti-corruption plank, AAP won 28 of the 70 Assembly seats in Delhi and formed a government in the national capital with outside support of Congress.
Anandi Patel is the among the senior-most minister in Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet.

Lobbying Bill passes, but with changes
This week saw crucial debates on the Lobbying Bill, including the provisions in Part three that imposed unnecessary red tape on union membership systems in ways that threatened the confidentiality of union membership.
We were never going to make much headway in the House of Commons where this partisan bill was inevitably whipped, but thanks to the campaign of which you have been an important part we made real progress in the House of Lords.
Our campaign helped to brief Peers on the dangers for trade unions, and working with a dedicated group of opposition Peers including former TUC General Secretary (Lord) John Monks, we managed to force the government into major concessions.
We'd like to thank you too for helping to keep the issue alive by not letting up on public pressure. Our anonymous petition, protesting at the threat to confidentiality of union membership was part of that.
Lord Monks received the petition on Tuesday, and referenced it in the debate, saying:
This morning I received a petition organised by the TUC and others. It is signed anonymously by nearly 12,000 people. They do not give their names, they give their occupation and location details. The trade unions have got the information about their names. The individuals trusted the unions with this information. They do not trust these public officials who the Bill proposes to turn loose on union membership records. This is not an academic issue. We currently have over 2,000 cases in the construction industry of allegations of blacklisting—of people who have been out of work, in some cases for years, because of misuse of confidential information, allegedly by some of the most prestigious names in the construction industry.
After concern from peers from all parties, the government made commitments on protecting confidentiality, though not nearly as strong as we wanted to see.
But crucially though, we won agreement that changes to union membership management should be delayed long enough to give unions reasonable time to implement them, according to their rulebooks. This will not only save unions hundreds of thousands of pounds in hosting emergency rule change conferences, but also puts implementation back beyond the end of this parliament, giving us the opportunity to argue for repeal if the political landscape changes after the election.
While we always knew we had strong arguments on our side, we were worried that Part three would be overshadowed by the concern about the rest of the Bill. But the support for the petition and the lobbying that many directed to Peers made sure our arguments were heard.
Unions have also been closely involved in the wider campaign around Part one and Part two of the Bill, where Peers forced concession upon concession out of the government, particularly on Part two that restricts campaigning by non-party groups such as unions, charities and pressure groups during elections.
It's still a total dog's dinner of a Bill of course. Part one – the register of lobbyists – is totally ineffective and will do next to nothing to scale back the influence of money on politics. Even despite a brilliantly effective campaign Part two still imposes unnecessary and onerous restrictions on campaign groups, particularly for local campaigners speaking out in election periods. And Part three is still a pointless and partisan collection of red tape, designed to hamper the effectiveness of trade unions.
There is a still a while to go in Parliament, and MPs are still trying to reject two of the amendments Peers made to Part two. The Bill is now going back and forth between the houses, and our friends at 38 Degrees are calling on MPs to drop their demands (you can help them here).
But thanks to a huge public campaign, including charities, unions and community groups, the government has had to severely restrict what it had set out to do. We'd like to thank you again for the part you played in this.

Between its world-class street eats and award-winning celebrity chefs, Portland has earned a reputation as a veritable culinary think-tank. Now, a swell of pop-up restaurants — intimate, ad hoc dinner parties hosted by moonlighting chefs and culinary experts — is once again reinventing the way Portlanders eat, providing unique dining experiences in unexpected venues.
These themed affairs range from Soviet discos to traditional Indian suppers to multi-course ice cream socials, each promising an unforgettable dining adventure. Local food critics can't get enough of the fun: In 2014, pop-up dining was collectively named the Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian and Portland Monthly called the phenomenon the Trend of the Year.
Without the daily hours and permanent addresses of traditional restaurants, pop-up dining reservations require a bit of sleuthing on the diner's part. Here are a few of Portland's can't-miss pop-up meals:
Chef Vitaly Paley, the James Beard award-winning force behind Portland mainstays Imperial and Paley's Place, drew on his Russian roots for DaNet, a five-course pop-up featuring potato pancakes, infused vodka flights and all-but-forgotten Soviet drinking foods. One weekend each month, Paley outfits his own Portland Penny Diner with decorative Slavic heirlooms and Russian rap music for a festive tribute to the Motherland. Each dinner includes a variety of zakuski (drinking appetizers), several types of traditional blini and three hearty courses like hunter's stew and black cherry strudel.
Dedicated to exploring "ice cream and its infinite possibilities," Morgan St. Theater casts dessert in a starring role. Each three-course menu combines seasonal ingredients like sweet corn, deep-fried peach or pumpkin with exotic baked goods like challah French toast and Indian snack bread to create a collection of sundaes fit for even the most discerning sweet tooth. Each playful dish is paired with entertaining storytelling and, at times, live music and adult beverages. Like many pop-ups, Morgan St. has no fixed location or schedule, so be sure to check details online before planning a sweet night out.
