The Peugeot 2008: Getting a grip on options
The Peugeot 2008 has some SUV looks and abilities to be a really successful family car
The household is seriously beginning to think about the next car. In truth I would rather it be an old Saab, vintage Riley or that rather lovely Lagonda that seems to inhabit my dreams. But as always my way will not be got. The Hyundai i10, which is the house's main runabout and portable dog kennel, will be five-years-old next year, and we should start making preparations for when I won't be in the enviable position of having a host of lovely cars to test drive.
We will need a car that not only does the day-to-day dog work, but also will take us into the hills for our Sunday walks and possibly holidays although, with the right planning, it often makes more sense to hire something big for two or three weeks a year rather than have something constantly that you don't really need.
There's a good chance that the latest version of the i10 might fit our bill because it is a lot bigger than our model.
But our minds aren't made up, which was one of the reasons I was keen to drive the new Peugeot 2008 at the beginning of this month. The 2008 is an attractive, more rugged and upright version of the massively successful 208 small hatch.
It gives the appearance of being a small SUV but doesn't have a 4WD option, although some models can be fitted with its excellent Grip Control which acts on the front wheels in different conditions of snow, mud or sand.
The gradual move upmarket by Peugeot, as with other marques, finds expressions in the top of the range 2008GT Line, which has a lot of gloss, badging, stitching and even seat belts with red borders.
It also gets masses of other kit and comes with a hefty price tag of €27,280 for the 1.6 BlueHDi120bhp diesel. However petrol models account for 36pc of 2008 sales, and the range starts at €19,400.
My preference would be for petrol especially the 1.2 PureTech 110bhp version; by choosing your options well a very good package could be put together for about €23,000. It is a car that is very easy to live with, although I found that the ergonomics around the steering wheel weren't ideal for my legs. I haven't seen other reports of that and maybe it is my awkwardness. I found the front seat gave really excellent lower back support. The low and flat rear compartment and seats that fold flat in a jiff are ideal. I could easily sit behind my driving seat and the 2008 seems to have better room than most of its rivals.
It is a very simple but robust car that gives you confidence, especially when backed up by the Grip Control, which is only a €395 extra. Other worthwhile extras are Park Assist (from €455) and Active City Brake (from €575). However the latter is only £250 in the UK. Peugeot pride themselves on really excellent consumption figures so you can expect to get about 60mpg in diesel form and 50 in petrol.
Peugeot compete with the likes of Hyundai by offering a five-year warranty, which is now a must for us. We were both very attracted by the 2008, it is a much more substantial car than the i10. However whether it is worth an extra €8k is another matter.
I feel it is better than the Renault Captur and Nissan Juke. The company makes much of its infotainment and touchscreen which aren't that important to us. But as the car looks and feels substantial it could do the trick. Its reliability should be very good as much of the 208 is carried over.

Paris Agreement and its promise to the poor
On a recent visit to Mali I met farmer Eromi Saanu, working in the hot April sun on his quarter hectare plot of land. He is a pioneer in his village in the practice of zai, a laborious way to grow a crop on dry, infertile soils. Working for over a month with just a hoe, Eromi dug little half-moons, planting a seed encased in manure at one end of each and leaving a little pit at the other to hold some water for the seeds to germinate. This brought him a sorghum crop that is enough to feed his family for 3 months. He is not sure how he will manage thereafter – the year has been too warm, with strong winds that have been blowing away the dry parched soil. The rainfall is unpredictable – some years he faces droughts and in others a flood. In the past he received weather forecasts for the next 90 days from a farmer who was connected to a service provided by Mali Meteo but the farmer died and the system does not work anymore.
Mali-Météo came to the forefront of African weather services through nearly 30 years of Swiss government support for the Agro-Meteorological Advisory Program, which was designed to provide weather information and technical assistance to farmers and pastoralists to improve agricultural and livestock productivity. This program was one of the first to enable Mali-Météo to provide weather services to rural populations.
The support from a farmer group has helped Eromi stave off starvation or forced migration. One of the members taught him the zai technique, taking him to visit another group on the border with Burkina Faso. This exchange helped Eromi gain confidence to invest in the backbreaking labour that zai demands.
Farmers in developing countries across the world are facing the challenge of a warmer, less predictable world where cloud bursts and floods follow droughts. They need support to make sense of and deal with the changes.
At the international level, the 4th of November 2016 shall be celebrated as the day the Paris Agreement came into force in an incredibly short period of 11 months since its adoption in Paris last December. Contrast this with its predecessor, the Kyoto protocol that was adopted in 1997 and entered into force only in 2005. This reflects the sense of urgency that permeates society at large for rapid collective actions to address both the causes and impacts of climate change (as also of course concerns about the outcomes of the US elections).
Over the past 30 years the scientific evidence is clear and there is little uncertainty left regarding the reasons for climate change or its devastating impacts. A recent report by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicates August 2016 was the warmest on record with land and ocean surface temperatures 0.92 deg C higher than pre-industrial levels. The Paris agreement commits the world to a warming of 'well below' 2 deg C. We thus have a very small window of opportunity, of less than a decade, in which to transform our development pathway away fossil fuel driven hyper consumption to a more sustainable one.
What does the Paris Agreement mean for farmer Eromi Saanu?
It means that unlike before his country, Mali is now equally committed to emission reduction as the USA or China. This was the first of the "paradigm shifts" of the Paris Agreement. The agreement is constructed on voluntary commitments, from very unequal partners, rather than a normative framework emerging from historic responsibility for climate change or capability to contribute to its mitigation. The average per capita emission of Mali is 0.1 tonne, most of it from fertilizer use (75%) and from livestock, while in the USA its 16.4 tonnes from a range of lifestyle choices that we in the developed world are familiar with.
Eromi has no water or electricity and does not expect any state support for these. He has invested in a little Chinese solar panel that provides enough energy to light up his one room home. He does not use the small amount of kerosene that he did in the past, for lighting. In the new post Paris architecture, each country must bring its own nationally determined contribution to emission reduction to the table. A recent CSO report, Setting the Path towards 1.5 deg C: A civil society equity review of pre-2020 ambitions, Nov 2016, supported by Helvetas, shows that developing countries have committed well beyond their fair share as assessed on principles of equity and capacity. Mali has few options for mitigation as its carbon footprint is minuscule. It however needs support for the incremental costs of investing in clean development and in supporting its citizens to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
So can Eromi and Mali expect something back from the Paris Agreement?
While the Paris Agreement talks of equity in several instances, the second "paradigm shifts" is that it makes no reference to climate justice or compensation. Sub-Saharan Africa is among the poorest and most fragile regions of the world, at a significant risk from climate change. There is a commitment to allocated $100 bn to climate change actions starting from 2020. The OECD estimates that the transfers from the developed world to the developing for climate actions in 2014 totalled $ 62 bn. This includes transfers from a range of instruments such as export credits, concessional loans and ODA. In its inclusive embrace of various instruments, this form of accounting risks to lose relevance as a transparent and reliable exercise. Notwithstanding this, of the total transfers, the bulk has been for mitigation of climate change and only 16% is aimed at adaptation – access to weather information, protective irrigation, alternate crops and livelihood options – the kind of support that Eromi needs.
Does the money for adaptation reach Eromi, what are the pathways through which such funds could trickle down to him? A complex matrix of institutions have evolved over the past decades to generate and channel climate funds. The Adaptation Fund and the more recent Green Climate Fund are the most potential ones as they are aimed to assist countries like Mali adapt to the impacts of climate change (Adaptation Fund) and adopt a more climate resilient development pathway (Green Climate Fund). Both these funds rely on the presence of either an accredited national implementing entity or an international one that can channel resources to the country. Many of the countries that are most vulnerable to climate change are also fragile states with weak institutions that lack capacities to fulfill the stringent financial management needs required for accreditation. Except Senegal and South Africa no other African country has an accredited national entity. They rely on multilateral banks and agencies to access these climate funds. None of these agencies have managed to reach Eromi yet.
The Adaptation Fund is near collapse as it was to be financed by 2% of the revenue from the Clean Development Mechanism's carbon market. With the collapse of the carbon prices, its funding stream has dried up and it now relies on the same ODA funds that are meant to reduce poverty. When climate funds compete with development cooperation, they take away the last straw of support from very poor communities like Eromi's. Activities like the support to zai or the functioning of the farmer groups are supported by these scare ODA resources. The commitment to generate funds for climate which are additional to ODA have been belied, now there are proposals that the Adaptation Fund raises funds from the public, competing with humanitarian aid or smaller NGOs that rely on such public giving.
A recent evaluation of the Adaptation Fund highlights that the targeting of resources from the Fund to the vulnerable regions and populations has been poor. The Fund, hosted by the World Bank, has limited staff capacities, lacks knowledge management systems and relies on a large body of consultants on short term contracts who have little chance of reaching out to Eromi.
Can such funds build national capacities to bring some benefits, like weather information, to Eromi Saanu or his children? The Paris Agreement makes a strong commitment to capacity building in its Article 11 and 13. The experience till date has been mixed – national level institutional capacity building has been focused on scientific collaboration or capacity building of negotiators. The reason for this is the long held view that climate change is a topic of scientific enquiry which needs to be addressed through building up relevant research capacities in national universities and specialised scientific institution. This situation of seeing the problem as that of science, rather than a core development challenge, has lasted over a decade. The long drawn out and acrimonious nature of climate negotiations also demanded that negotiators from developing countries are equipped with information that they needed to effectively fulfill their functions.
With the ratification of the Paris agreement the focus needs to shift to building implementation capacities in the countries most at risk from climate change. Countries like Mali have seen several generations of climate change projects that have been research focussed, led by teams of consultants flown in, leaving behind little national capacities or impact, other than a useful body of literature. To reach Eromi Saanu, national actors in multiple department needs to be mobilised and their actions coordinated. The fact that the nodal ministry for climate change is the ministry of environment which traditionally has had a regulatory function, with no structures below the small national ministries, has been a key impediment to actions reaching the ground.
Capacity building is needed on two fronts – to build a national repository of all the information on climate data, modelling and studies in the country and to build a cadre of technical staff able to design and deliver actions that are informed by Eromi's needs and concerns. They also need to revive and update systems like the meteorological services provided by Mali Mateo, and many other such development actions that contribute to adaptation.
Is it possible that climate finance will ever reach farmers like Eromi?
A modality called Direct Access pioneered by the Adaptation Fund and also adopted by the Green Climate Fund provides reasons for hope. It enables national entities to access funds and disburse them for small actions, based on national priorities and needs. Such mechanisms can only work with robust and transparent risk assessment and a strong governance mechanism that ensures targeting to the most vulnerable. These mechanisms can be built using the accumulated experience of development cooperation for poverty targeting and decentralised resource allocation. Lessons from watershed management, joint and community forest management, various direct transfer and employment guarantee schemes need to be capitalised upon.
Access to climate funds demands a level of national preparedness. The new global funds are under great pressure to start disbursement. The Adaptation fund disbursed resources to countries that were most prepared and capacitated to receive them and by the time the poorest nations understood what was needed of them, it ran out of resources. The Green Climate Fund is similarly under pressure to show results and its Board has approved every proposal placed before it. One can only hope that Mali is able to use the readiness grant of the Fund, identify and capacitate a national implementing entity or win the trust of an international one to bring some climate finance to its citizens like Eromi.
And what about Eromi's wife and family? Understanding the gendered impacts of climate change and the struggle to design gender sensitive responses is a long one, and a topic for another blog someday soon.

in an upward extension 5 3 of chamber 52,` closed by a cap 54, is located a pressurestat `55, which, as shown, comprises a. cylindrical hollow disclike member with flexible walls, the interior of said member being lled with an expansible gas such as air.` Upon the lower side of the pressurestat 55 is a head 56 in which is mounted a ball l514 which engagesthe pivoted bar 46. Engaging the upper side of the pressurest'at 55 vand threaded through the cap 54 is-a member 58 whereby the pressurestat itself and with it the the rate of change of delivery of oxygen effected v automatically according to conditions encountered. l
Apertures 60 and 6| into chambers 52 and 53, respectively, equalize the pressure in these chambers on each -side of the pressurestat 55. It follows that as the air 'pressure in chambers 52 and 53 changes, say decreases upon an airplanes Vgoing into higher altitudes, the expansion of the gas within the pressurestat-55' will cause the member 56 and the ball 51 to push upon the pivoted bar 46 and increase the pressure of spring 26 upon diaphragm I8 for a purpose hereinafter described.
A tubular member 62 conveys oxygen gas from a source of oxygen'supply such as a tank of compressed oxygen of common commercial use, not shown, through a passageway 63 in the valve block I and into the valve chamber I2, and, in turn, when the gas is released to ow as hereinafter described, it will enter expanded chamber I9 and ow therefrom through a passageway 64 into valve chamber II, and from thence, when 'th' valve 2|, 22 opens, into expanded chamber I1. From chamber I1 the gas willA ow through passageway 65 and passageway 66 to a delivery chamber 61. From delivery chamber 61 a tube and piping 68 will carry the gas-past a close-olf petvcock A69 yand a proportioning bore 18 to a ow meter 1I and thence through pipe and connecting tubing 12 to inhaler mechanism 13 onl the head of the pilot oroperator as shown At the same .time from chamber 61 piping 14, comprising a manifold,` will have branches 15 each controlled by a .pet cock 16 and having a proportioning orince similar to orifice v1I), which Willgoto inhaler mechanism 0n the heads of the several passengers in the same manner as shown in Fig. 1 .applied to the head of the pilot /or operator.
These proportioning orifices determine the volume of oxygen delivered at any constant pressure, and as the 4pressure increases or decreases,
from the operation of the regulating mechanism heretoforedescribed, that volume will be corre- Spondingly increased or decreased. Also in the arrangement above described, since the gas goesf to the several passengers through proportioning orifices the same as the proportioning orice 10 lwhich conducts the gas through the ow meter outlet 12.
0n the'ow meter. Hence, the control of the flow of gas by the pilot from inspection of the flow meter controls the supply of gas to the passengers.
The iiow meter 1I is of well-known construction wherein a piston 11 is subject to themoving 'gas under pressure and is moved upwardly more or less in a conical chamber 18 toward the gas The piston 11` carries a rod 19 which is visible, when gas is owing, through closed tube 88, Fig. 3, and the end of the rod will indicate on scale8I the volume ofr gas flowing through delivery pipe 12. This will be the volume or gas going to the pilot or operator. 'However, since that volume passes through the bore 10, and the gas going to each of the passengers passes .through 4a similar bore, the flow of gas to the pilot and to the passengers at any given pressure will be in equal volume.
'I'he pressure at which gas is delivered, and consequently .the volume of gas which passes the orifices 10 to the pilot and to the passengers,
i'svdetermined generally by the pressure exerted by spring 26 upon diaphragm I8 and spring 35 upon diaphragm 20. Obviously, since the pres- Sure of these springs tends to open the valves, and the pressure of the gas in chambers I1 and I9 'upon diaphragms I8 and 20 tends to closethe valves, increasing the pressure of the springs will increase the necessary pressure upon the diaphragms to close the valves and will increase the pressure at which the gas will flow through opening 66 to chamber 61 and conveying tubes 68 and 14. The pressure of spring 35 will generally be fixed in advance and notvchanged, but thel pressure of spring 26 is subject Yto change and adjustment from time to time through thumb nuts l and 59 in front of the pilot or operator, as shown in Fig. 1, and also will b e subject to change through the veffect of atmospheric pressure on the pressurestat 25 steadily increasing as the atmospheric pressure decreases.
'I'he inhaler mechanism (identically the same passageway 9|, which in turn opens `into a passageway 92 in the' casing 82 adjacent a venturi 93 leading through a passageway 94 to a re- `breathingbag 9,5. n,The oxygen fromconveyor 12 goes through a passageway 96 directly into rebreathing bag 95. y v l The entire arrangement will be secured by a cap' 91 or other securing means upon the head of the individual in such manner that the nasal plugs 86. and 81 will be securely held in thevnostrils of the wearer. The wearer will be advised to breathe entirely through the nose. Upon inhalation oxygen mixed with exhaled gas and air will be drawn into' the lungs of the individual wearer. Upon exhalation part of the exhaled gases will go to the rebreathing bag and' carry along with them some air to be mixed therewith by reason of the action of the venturi93. When, however, .the pressure in the rebreathing bag builds up suiliciently, part of the exhaled gases will discharge through the orifice 89 to atmosphere. In this manner the carbon dioxide which otherwise would accumulate in the rebreathing A for pilot and passengers) is shown in position in said supply, means controlled py the operatory bag is disseminated, and it is also true that some air will join the stream of mixed oxygen and rebreathed gases to go to the lungs on inhalation. 'I'he advantages of my-invention have been quite iully pointed out in'connectionwith the as planes are operated now to go up several 'thousand feet higherthansat present is the practice and obviate the danger of grounding onf 'the' mountains and at the same time keep the passengers and pilot properlysupplied` with oxygen. It is generally believed, too, that a' time coming Vwhen airplane travel will atfall times be at higher altitudes, perhapsas high as the lower stratosphere, and,'of course, some means of supplying suiliciently oxygenated airwill be essential under such conditions. It is a highly important feature of my invention, and one of its chief advantages that the regulationof oxygen supply to the vpassengers is bothwautomatically determined by the air pressure, or,` which is substantially the-same thing, by the eleva' tion, and at the same time is subject to regulation by a single trained and expert operator, and who may be, and in most cases will be; the airplane pilot. The arrangement of small bore tubes through'which the oxygen `flows alike to 'pilot and passengers with flow gauge available Vto the inspection of the pilot, niakes it possible for the pilot at all times to know just the volume of oxygen going to the passengers and to adjust that volume from' time to time as changing conditions may require. In the drawings I have shown but one aneroid or pressurestat, which obviously can be made of any form or size,` and filled with any desiredf'type of gas to 'produce the most eicient results. It is Valso obviousy that several of. such aneroids or pressurestats may be placed in series so that the vthrow of each is transmitted to a succeeding one, and in that way a throwof anylength may be obtained.'

The Greening of the Paddocks
The winter frosts seem to have finally loosened their grip and the paddocks have exploded in a mix of white clover and lucerne that we'd allowed to self-seed from a broader mix planted last spring (which included phacelia, mustard, buckwheat, red clover, cornflowers, bergamot, California poppies and more).
We sent a tractor through last week to direct drill with another mix of nitrogen fixing plants and wildflowers, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the next couple of months (though our expert hired gun said that the new spring growth from last year's leftovers was thick enough that the new seeding might not have more than a 50-60% strike rate).
*You can just barely see me in the lower right-hand corner — the farmer in the Chinese straw hat, checking his iPhone for messages, of course.

Ark Angel TT II Battle Strategies
While it is possible to do a melee strategy, the risk of failure is higher, especially on Very Difficult. The strategy with a 99% chance of success is as follows:
TT warps around the center ring and so there is no point in using a tank.
- Party setup is 3x RNG/NIN, 1x RDM/WHM, 1x COR/NIN, 1x BRD/WHM.
- Since there is no tank, RNGs can use their most damaging weapon and weapon skill.
NOTE: set a Shadowbind order before starting.
- BRD does Nightingale/Troubadour Soul Voice Archer's Prelude, Hunter's Prelude, Minuets 5, 4, and Scherzo on the RNGs and COR on the stairs where you can see TT.
- BRD does Nightingale/Troubadour Soul Voice Victory March (March x2 if have 99 daurdabla), Ballad x2, Scherzo on RDM and himself.
- COR should do Hunter's Roll and Courser's Roll.
- RNG and COR should use Riverfin Soup, Kohlrouladen, Pot-au-feu, or sushi.
RNGs and COR go in after putting up utsusemi; spread out. Amon Drive can take two shadows. If it gets through your shadows it will petrify, paralyze, and possibly kill you.
- RDM and BRD should stay in DT gear just in case they get hit with Amon Drive. RDM and BRD should stay away from eachother so one can stona/paralyna the other.
- RDM does Dia3 on TT, Flurry2 on RNGs and COR. Saboteur Addle the TT if possible.
- BRD try to land Carnage Elegy and Foe Requiem7 on TT. If RDM cannot land Addle, then try Pining Nocturne.
- RNGs do not need to use Decoy Shot. Keep shadows up at all times.
- COR does not need to worry about getting hate. Keep shadows up at all times.
- RNGs should use Overkill right from the start.
- TT's first 2hr is always Blood Weapon. TT is restricted to the center ring for 95% of the battle EXCEPT when it has Blood Weapon in use. At this time ALL DAMAGE STOPS. 1st RNG in Shadowbind order executes and everyone runs up the stairs. If Shadowbind wears off before Blood Weapon then 2nd RNG executes. Once Blood Weapon completes, TT will go back to the center ring.
WARNING: at this time EVERYONE needs to use either Elshimo Pachira Fruit or Poison Pots and keep the effect up.
- TT's next 2hr is Manafont. He will first cast sleepga (good thing you put poison on yourself!), then follow it up with Meteor over and over again. He stays in the center ring. Don't worry about shadows during Manafont time, he will only be casting. Everyone run up to the top of the stairs and wait for one minute to have elapsed so Manafont will be complete and he no longer is able to cast Meteor.
- Put shadows back up and kill.

A while ago we (the team of astronomers involved in the investigation of Hanny's Voorwerp and me) asked for funding to do some really cool outreach work. Good outreach work is important, so that every citizen is able to find out what those scientists discovered. And I've told a lot of people I would tell them this news if I was allowed to, so here goes…
We're making a web comic! And to give you an idea of what we have in mind, here's how we explain it on our shiny new website "Hanny & The Mystery of the Voorwerp" (this was written by Pamela Gay, who's a member of our team):
"Sometimes reality is cooler than fiction, and we think we may have found one of those sometimes. We have all you need to tell a good story: A mystery (that would be the Voorwerp), a heroine determined to help solve the mystery (Hanny) and her band of fellow adventurers (the scientists), a series of challenges (acquiring and understanding data from a series of telescopes), and there is even an enemy: Time. The longer it takes our cast to solve the mystery of the Voorwerp, the more likely it is that someone else will beat them to the goal of understanding."
So, we're seeking writers and illustrators, which means you can get involved as well! We even have a punch line for the story, but we can't share that online yet. There will be brainstorming sessions with author Kelly McCoullough in Bloomington, Minnesota the first four days of July this year and we're hoping to have the web comic live in autumn (or fall) 2010! Obviously, as a team we do have the final say about The Story and whether I look nice as an action figure, for instance. Among the team, to make sure scientific facts are correct, is Chris Lintott and Bill Keel by the way.
And our Mystery, the Hanny's Voorwerp itself, is now tweeting about this great adventure too. I will still be here to give behind-the-scenes-looks, but have a look at our project on our other website as well. There, I said it. After more than a year of keeping this a secret. I hope you´ll like it.

Tom Cruise and Paramount are now friends again, hence, "Mission: Impossible IV" is in the works! If you remember, the actor left the studio in 2006 when Viacom chief Sumner Redstone ended their 14-year-old tie with Cruise.
But now, Redstone is even heard saying Cruise is "a great actor and a good friend." So drama ended, "Mission: Impossible IV" is in full speed ahead.
Cruise and J.J. Abrams have both agreed to co-produce the flick, which is currently being targeted for a 2011 release.
But first, Abrams must work on a "Star Trek" sequel, while Cruise will be busy shooting his romantic action comedy flick with Cameron Diaz to be directed by James Mangold.

New Delhi, Feb. 13 (ANI): As the power struggle within the AIADMK shows no sign of reduction, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Monday said that party general secretary VK Sasikala should be invited to form the next government as she has the overwhelming support of her MLAs.
"Sasikala gave a list of MLAs, Panneerselvam did not. She has a majority. What is the governor waiting for?" Swamy told ANI.
"I don't understand what is the power tussle all about. The only decision is waited of the governor which is overdue. Sasikala has got 139 MLAs, which is a clear majority, with all the signature of party members. And Sasikala offered to present them in person. And Panneerselvam has not presented even a single paper. I don't understand why are they waiting for," he added.
Amid the escalating political tension in Tamil Nadu, the Supreme Court is likely to hear the plea seeking a stay on the swearing-in ceremony of Sasikala.
This comes after the top court last week refused to grant an urgent hearing on a PIL that sought to put on hold Sasikala's swearing-in as Tamil Nadu chief minister till it passed a judgment in the disproportionate assets case against her.
A bench of Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice N V Ramana and Justice D Y Chandrachud said "sorry declined" as the petitioner urged the bench to hear the plea.
The PIL was filed by Chennai resident Senthil Kumar, General Secretary of NGO Satta Panchayat Iyakkam.
Kumar has contended that if Sasikala is convicted and is forced to resign, there is a possibility of riots erupting all over Tamil Nadu.
He said law and order may worsen in such an eventuality as the state was already facing a "desperate situation" due to cyclone, demonetization and death of Jayalalithaa.
The petitioner claimed in case the appeal against her acquittal results in conviction, the AIADMK workers may once again protest and disturb the normal life of Tamil Nadu, adding that he filed the plea in the interest of people of Tamil Nadu and to maintain the peace in the state.
Earlier, Sasikala had stated clearly that the delay in her swearing-in ceremony is nothing but an attempt to "create division in the party". (ANI)

COUNCIL – Present at the January meeting of Old Laund Booth Parish Council were: B. Newman, C. Nutter, E. Nutter, D. Hall, P. Shaw, V. Venn, J. David, J.Myers, T.Peacock and three members of the public.
The chairman had met with a local firm to discuss a facelift of the children's play area. Once the plan is completed, funding will be sourced. Pendle Council has instructed the Scout and Guide group to widen the path from the old St Anne's School to the group headquarters following complaints from the public.
The clerk is to contact Lancashire County Council regarding potholes in the village. A new grit bin has been placed at Laund Gate. Pendle Council has investigated a flue which has been placed on the side of Greenbank House. The flue does require planning permission, but officials say taking into account its setting and overall impact on the amenity of the area, it would not be expedient to take enforcement action.
Officers have also investigated a complaint regarding a waste skip on a drive in Wheatley Lane Road and say no evidence of any unauthorised activity has been witnessed, but the area will be monitored.
The name of a soldier missed off the war memorial is to be added. Councillors have objected to a plan for an advertisement sign in a field next to the bypass. They sympathise with the applicant's wish to boost local business, but feel a brown sign or finger post would be better as the planned sign is too big and intrusive.
No objections were raised to a retrospective application for a domestic garden extension in Wheatley Lane Road. A precept of £4,262 was set.
The lengthsman to be asked to look at the noticeboards to make them more accessible. Coun. C. Nutter complained about the amount of dog muck in the village.
Coun. David said there are plans to cut back the amount of the top-up grant given to provide the footpath service and fears it will not be as good as it is currently. The clerk is to write to Pendle to protest. Planning applications are to be placed on the council website.
The next meeting is on Monday, February 7th, at 7 p.m. in Fence Village Hall.

Two Things I learnt this month: 1. It never hurts to have a turquoise bag in your wardrobe; and 2. Blue Denims are simply too monotonous to wear when you can contemplate between mustard, raspberry and ivory.
Wearing Bershka Jeans (seen before here), Zara Shoes, Jane Norman Poncho and Aldo bag.
In other news- Bershka finally launched its online shopping portal, Azzaro has appointed Mathilde Castello Branco as its new creative director, Luxury stocks took an astonishing downfall in the month of August and Valentino reported a revenue boost of 24 percent in the last 6 months.
Also, thank you for the feature LTWT!

Online education is growing by leaps and bounds. People are becoming more and more comfortable with turning to the digital world for activities that used to be limited to the physical world, education included. Many adults are returning to school to advance their education in order to improve their job prospects. But if you have a job, a family, and other commitments, attending school daily can be very difficult. Online classes are the answer to this problem.
But online classes still need teachers, and this means that a whole new job market is opening up, as schools search for people to lead these classes. Anyone can become an online teacher. If you already work in education as a teacher, counselor, or tutor, it can be very easy for you to make the switch. The field is not limited to these individuals, though. Professionals from any job can find work teaching classes in their area of expertise.
Before you embark on a new career, you doubtlessly want to know what your potential earnings could be. For full-time teachers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not separate online from traditional teachers in their report, so it can be difficult to pin down exact numbers. The middle 50 percent of all post-secondary teachers earn between $42,000 and $85,000. Certain fields (such as IT, medicine, and law) bring in more money than others. Increasing your level of education can also increase your salary.
Online teaching is an exciting career with lots of opportunities. It can be a full-time career or you can use it to supplement other income sources. Either way, it is fulfilling and rewarding. In the following chapters, we will look at online schools in more depth, review what it takes to become an online teacher, help you land your first job, and then teach you what you need to know to excel in this new field. So, let's get started!

text: Friday December 8- Sunny, high of 80 (of course. we were leaving.) After about 4 hours of sleep, I got up to pack. I really didn't buy too much and I had an extra suitcase so packing was a breeze. Just tossed it all in. We hugged and kissed everyone goodbye and we were on our way. Our flight was leaving at 11am so we planned on being at the Airport by 10. Everything was on time, smooth, and we got home at 5pm. I was not afraid of flying this time. I wonder if it had anything to do with those two kungalooshes? Some random observations about the week: If it wasn't for Abby getting hurt and me getting sick, this was by far the most fun I've ever had on vacation. I really missed meeting any DISers, next time for sure! Premier vacation homes was a great company to go with. The house was very clean, spacious, and we loved having so much room. It was close to everything but far enough away to be out of the craziness. The neighborhood was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Donna and Helm were a delight. I was worried because they seemed so uninterested before the trip. They were open to do anything, and had a great time. They really loved it and can't wait to go again. They were polite house guests and we got along with them so well! They are also very funny people and had me laughing all the time. Disney World was definitely more crowded this week than it was at the same time last year. Utilizing fastpass was the only way to go. I am more in love with this place than I was before and I'm trying to devise a plan to get back again next year. Even getting sick, overall I felt better there than I have here in a long time! I'll have to work on Bob about this..... I owe a lot of this trips success to all of the people on this site. The information gleaned from everything I've read here proved to be invaluable. My friends could not believe how much "in the know" I was. It made everything so easy. So Thankyou everyone for my great vacation!!

Windows Phone 8.1 To Sport Notification Center, Personal Assistant & Much More
While Android and iOS are sitting on top of all the underdogs, new comers and some oldies. Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform plummets itself in the underdog category. The so-called underdog has been slowly gathering a fan-base and market share of it's own, obviously not enough to directly challenge both iOS and Android but good enough in it's own right. Windows Phone 8 has been often criticized as being too limited for the user, even more so than Apple's iOS.
With that said, it seems the rumour mill has brought something 'sweet' for the Windows Phone fans out there. It seems the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 build, codenamed 'Blue' will sport some much needed features that the platform needed, and the features that were requested. Among those features is a notification panel, which will perform the same as it does on Android and iOS, such as a long swipe from top opens it, and also provide access to quick settings via shorter swipe like Ubuntu Touch. The long rumoured 'Cortana' personal assistant will finally debut in this build – it will replace Bing as the default search interface, allow users to interact with voice or text input, and have conversational interaction and the ability to learn context-aware data, such as reminding users of their appointments. Also in the package are separate volume controls, VPN support, Bing Smart Search and many more features.
Microsoft is also said to separate built-in music hub, Xbox Video and Xbox Music will ship as separate apps, and rightly so. It will allow updates to video and music parts of the system regularly. More built-in apps are said follow suit. Also social integration will be further enhanced with Microsoft to allow social apps such as Twitter and Facebook to extend 'People's Hub' further in Windows Phone 8.1.
Meanwhile, Nokia is hard at work developing two interesting smartphones, again. One smartphone, codenamed 'Goldfinger' will sport '3D Touch' system that detects "off-the-glass interactions, while the other device, codenamed 'Moneypenny' said to take advantage of the on-screen buttons that Windows Phone 8.1 is expected to introduce.
Windows Phone 8.1 is supposed to be announced at the Build 2014 Conference, but the time frame for to be available to consumers is unknown at this point. We speculate a late 2014 time frame. The wait might be long, but the end product is surely to be extremely polished and well feature packed, so the wait might just be worth it. Android and iOS better watch this growing underdog closely.

New Delhi, July 21: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supporters protesting against Delhi Police outside Anand Parbat police station here on Tuesday were cane-charged.
They were protesting against alleged police inaction that had led to the murder of a teenaged girl in the Anand Parbat area last week. Police resorted to the cane charge to disperse the protesters.
No one was, however, detained.
Also read: AAP, BJP train guns at each other; hold separate protests
"Crime against women is increasing in the city. The victim had earlier complained against the assailants, saying they stalked her. Police did not pay heed to her complaints which led to her murder," an AAP supporter said.
"We want the resignation of ACP Patel Nagar and SHO Anand Parbat police station," he said.
Meanwhile, when Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi was asked on Tuesday about the police inaction as alleged by the AAP supporters, he said: "We are doing our work on the basis of merit and it shall always be on merit. I am thankful to anyone who criticises me."
Meenakshi, a Class 11 student, was repeatedly stabbed by two neighbours after she objected to their verbal abuse on Thursday (July 16).
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal later called on the victim's family and announced a compensation of Rs.5 lakh to her family.
The Delhi government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the case and also sought a report from Delhi Police.
Bassi met Kejriwal on Monday and during the meeting, the chief minister asked Bassi to provide details of the number of crimes against women.
Kejriwal also said the performance of the police force was not up to the mark.

HONG KONG, June 13 (Reuters) - Shares in WuXi Biologics (Cayman) Inc rose as much as 39 percent in their trading debut in Hong Kong on Tuesday, as investors that could not buy into the initial public offering jostled for a piece of the fast-growing business.
The stellar performance for the Chinese contract drug research and development company comes after its IPO, Hong Kong's largest new listing so far in 2017, raised $511 million, pricing at the top of its marketed range.
The stock rose to as high as HK$28.70, compared to its HK$20.60 IPO price on its first day of trade. The benchmark Hang Seng index firmed 0.3 percent.
Demand from retail investors - who can have a significant impact on first-day trading in Hong Kong share offerings - accounted for 37.5 times the number of shares on offer in the deal, WuXi Biologics said in a filing on Monday.
The institutional tranche was "very significantly" oversubscribed, it added.
Typically, companies going public set aside 10 percent of the shares on offer for retail investors, with the remainder going to institutional buyers, but that volume goes up depending on the level of oversubscription.
In the case of WuXi Biologics, underwriters ended up allocating 30 percent of the IPO to mom and pop investors, meaning fewer shares were available for professional buyers.
The supply of shares to institutional investors was further reduced as WuXi Biologics sold 7 percent of the shares on offer to four so-called crossover investors, or existing shareholders that wanted to add to their holdings - Fubon Life Insurance Co Ltd, which is a unit of Taiwan's Fubon Financial Holding Co Ltd , Taikang Insurance Group Inc (IPO-TKLI.HK) and venture capital firms Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd and Qiming Investments Ltd.
"This IPO has been in high demand," said a person with direct knowledge of the WuXi Biologics deal, who was not authorized to discuss the IPO publicly.
"For the Hong Kong market, there is very limited supply of these kind of high-tech bio companies getting listed. As a result, fund managers are keen to subscribe to this IPO, with high potential on profit growth and good concept."
WuXi Biologics' revenue jumped 77 percent in 2016, while profits more than tripled last year as it expanded the business and launched new projects, according to the IPO prospectus.
The company plans to use about 45 percent of its proceeds from the IPO to pay all its outstanding loans and debt and another 45 percent to expand its facilities in Shanghai and in nearby Wuxi in Eastern China.
The remaining 10 percent will be used for working capital. (Reporting by Elzio Barreto, additional reporting by Julie Zhu, Donny Kwok and Sumeet Chatterjee; Editing by Edwina Gibbs and Himani Sarkar)
