Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme
Encouraging the brightest minds
The "Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme" (ESOP) enables outstanding students from all over the world to pursue a Master's degree at ETH Zurich. These students are a vital resource for the future: the talented and ambitious experts our industry and society need.
The scholarship is awarded to students whose personality and intellectual abilities promise extraordinary achievements. Highly motivated Excellence Scholars can thus devote all their energies to their studies and research.
The scholarship – more than CHF 40,000 per Excellence Scholar – covers living and study expenses for the duration of a Master's programme. The beneficiaries are able to make the most of their potential and focus on their research, without having to worry about financial burdens.
Each year, around 600 students apply for the ESOP. They are evaluated by the Excellence Scholarship Committee, validated in personal interviews and ultimately selected by ETH rector Prof. Dr. Sarah M. Springman.
Further details are available here.

Combustion problem
Hi All,
I am solving a flameless combustion problem with the following BC's,
V_air = 7.53 m/s, T_air = 955 K
V_ch4 = 24.34 m/s, T_ch4 = 300 K
Flue gases recirculates in the combustion chamber and exits from the exit located above the air/fuel inlet, thus giving finite turbulence-chemistry interaction. I am using Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) under Species Transport model.
Now the problem is, while solving the problem in unsteady case, combustion does not occur (as the peak temperature after 15-20 sec is still of order 957 K). Do I need to provide any ignition method?
Such problem occurred when I was simulating a benchmark problem on combustion. Using the Species Transport Model, steady state simulations showed the combustion (but overpredicted the temperatures) but unsteady simulations did not show any combustion.
Please somebody tell me what might be going wrong.. I need to submit my dissertation in 10-15 days..
What was your time step size in the simulation? Plus i would suggest you do a steady run and then switch from it to unsteady. You surely have to ignite the mixture to get the flame. It does not affect the converged solution since the fuel you add is little and it burns out in a short time. About the time step u have to ensure that the time step u are choosing is less than or of the order of the chemical time scale. U can estimate it by taking the smallest cell in your grid and using the mean flow velocity in it that cell and ratio of the cell size to the mean flow velocity would give you an idea of the time step size u can use. Jimmy
Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for your suggestion. I will check the timestep. Flow and chemistry timescales are similar in this case. I will choose the timestep accordingly.
Can I choose the ignition location and time arbitrarily? What could be the energy of ignition, default would do?
|All times are GMT -4. The time now is 02:29.

Name of the book: Diary of a Worm Author: Doreen Cronin; Illustrated by Harry Bliss
Setting: This story happens in places where you would find worms.
Where: Underground, on the playground, at school, on the sidewalk, outside and in a tree.
When: We don't know exactly when the story takes place, but we are pretty sure it is happening now because the kids are dressed like us.
Main Character: The two main characters are worm and his friend Spider.
Other Characters: Worm's family and some kids on the playground.
Some Events in the story
Event one: Worm plays with his best friend spider and tries to teach spider how to dig. Spiders legs got stuck and swallowed a bunch of dirt. They have problems in the story,but they stay friends.
Event two: Worm goes to school without his lunch and he eats his homework. He has to write I will not eat my homework. He eats that too.
Event three: Worm said good morning to the first ant he saw. There were 600 ants and he stayed there all day saying hi to all of them.
The most important thing in the story is that Worm does really like being a worm. His mom always says, "The earth never forgets we are here."
Worms eat roots, leaves and soil.
As worms burrow into the ground they consume soil extracting nutrients from decomposing organic matter such as leaves and roots.
Worms usually grow between 7 and 8 centimeters but have been known to get up to 14 inches.
A worms body is made up of ring like segments called annuli.
Worms live in soil or moist leaf litter.
The worm is covered in setae or small bristles which help them move and burrow.
A worm can dig up to 6.5 feet into the dirt.
Worms do not have teeth.
A worm has five hearts.
There are 4,400 species of worms, 2,700 different kinds of earthworms to be exact.
Lets play some fun worm games!!

To make a sweater bag you will need:

An old sweater

A cloth belt or a length of ribbon (to serve as handles)

Fabric for lining the inside of the bag (optional)

Thread

Scissors

Sewing machine (optional)

Note: If you've chosen to work with a wool sweater, it's recommended that you felt it before continuing. This will add strength and beauty to the fabric.

Felting Instuctions: Wash your sweater on the hottest washer setting and dry it on high heat. This should cause the fabric to take on a soft, fused texture. If you can still see the weave in the fabric, it's not fully felted. Repeat the process until you get the desired results.
Lay the sweater out on your work surface, and cut a straight line across under the arm pits to divide the sweater into two. Toss the top portion of the sweater aside for use in a later step. For now, you'll be working with the bottom portion of the sweater, which will serve as the body for your sweater bag.Smooth the bottom portion of the sweater out, making sure that the bottom edge of the sweater matches up front and back. Then, stitch across the bottom (about a half-inch in) to create a seam for the sweater bag.If you'd like a pocket on your bag, you can create one from the neckline of the sweater. Simply cut a rectangular patch from the neckline; center it on the bag; and stitch in place.
Create a lining for the bag by sewing a fabric pouch that is just slightly smaller than the exterior of the bag. Then, pin in place.

Note: Be sure to sew the pouch with the good side of the fabric facing in.
Hem the top of the sweater bag to create a nice, finished edge.
Create handles for the sweater bag by cutting an old, cloth belt in half, and stitching a handle on each side of the bag; or by doing the same with two pieces of decorative ribbon.

Tip: To keep the ends of your handles from unraveling, apply a bit of super glue to each one.

Daily analysis 30.06.2016:
Will a person who is against Brexit will be the new prime minister of the United Kingdom? Will bookies set the new market sentiment yet again? The zloty remains stable against the franc, as well as the euro. The dollar is slightly below the level of 4.00 PLN.
Most important macro data (CET – Central European Time). Estimations of macro data are based on Bloomberg information, unless marked otherwise.
- 14.00: Initial consumers inflation reading from Poland (estimations: negative 0.8% y/y).
- 14.30: Weekly jobless claims from the USA (estimations: 267k).
- 15.45: Chicago PMI (estimations: 51 points).
Further consequences of division in Conservative Party
During the referendum campaign in the United Kingdom, the country's prime minister was supporting the EU. At the same time, a significant part of his party colleagues, as well as of the ministers were for Brexit. This element seemed sufficient enough for making disturbances. However, the situation is becoming even more complicated.
Crucial candidates for the Conservative Party leader, as well as for prime minister, will announce their participation in the elections today. On one hand, it will be Boris Johnson who is the Brexit supporter. On the other, it will be Theresa May, who is the United Kingdom's Home Secretary, as well as an ally of David Cameron for keeping the UK within the European Union.
Even though the new leader's name will be announced at the beginning of September, YouGove has published a survey regarding the chances of a particular candidate today. It may seem that currently the opinion poll centers have low forecasting abilities. However, the YouGov survey history is very positive in this case. For the past few years the results of surveys among the Tories, were basically consistent with the final result.
The YouGov/Times survey indicates a definitive victory of Theresa May, with a 55% vs 38% relation against her main opponent. Thus, if we assume that the current Home Secretary is elected prime minister, she will be responsible for the Brexit negotiations with the EU. And, as we know, she was against the UK leaving the EU.
However, May claims that her views will not change the events regarding Brexit. The Telegraph cited her statement, in which she claims that she will assign, "a Ministry of Brexit." A person who will be in charge of this ministry, will be one of the people who were for the UK leaving the EU.
It is difficult to name the consequences of such process. It is possible that the current administration is striving for the new elections. However, is it possible that they will stop the Brexit procedures? There is also a danger that it may extend the crisis within the Conservative Party, as well as increase support for Nigel Farage, as well as his UKIP. The Guardian cited Farage's statement for The Telegraph today. He said that, "it is unthinkable that the next prime minister, whose most urgent task is to implement the Brexit process, could be a person who was for the EU only a few days ago."
Will bookies be in the center of attention yet again?
It is too soon to focus on quotations of the British bookies for the time being. The market will remain skeptical regarding their forecast rates. However, it is worth noticing that Betfair pays less to those who bet that the Article 50 will be initiated this year. Without an official initiation of the exit procedure, there will be no actual Brexit.
Betfair estimations also give bigger chances for the prime minister position to Theresa May. Thus, it is possible that despite a skeptical approach towards the bookies estimations, some of investors may become convinced that the UK will remain within the EU. Regardless of the real chances for making this scenario come true, it may improve the global sentiment at some point. On the other hand, if optimistic scenario does not come true, the unfulfilled expectations may cause significant changes in the market. We have already seen their results on last Friday.
Zloty is relatively calm
The zloty was remaining relatively stable against the main currencies before noon. However, the USD/PLN remains below the 4.00 level, due a light wear-off of the dollar in the global market. The Polish national currency will most likely remain stable for the following hours, unless the global sentiment deteriorates clearly. On the other hand, even if the American indexes continue to grow, it will rather not cause the EUR/PLN to go below 4.40.
Today's inflation data should have a minor impact on quotations of the zloty as well. Limited nervousness will probably be observed tomorrow as well. This is despite the fact that investors anticipate the decision regarding the Polish rating. In our opinion, the dangers mentioned by Standard & Poor's in January are not becoming true. Thus, the risk of a decrease in the loan credibility is very limited.

text: Shipping's most volatile market, the Caribbean upcoast trade, has plummeted in the last few days to levels not seen since last November and freight costs are now less than half of what they were just two weeks ago, brokers said on Tuesday. But they were also quick to point out that this was merely a normal part of the yearly cycle as refinery turnarounds start to bite into the supply-demand balance. "Every April for the last three years the Aframax (70,000 ton) market has dumped 40-50 points," said one U.S. broker. "A lot of crackers are down. Hess has had one in St. Croix down since mid-January." Freight graphs from London shipbroker SSY confirm the observation. The decline ends a bull-run that started in mid-February when fog delayed lightering and loading schedules in the U.S. Gulf, forcing up rates. Oslo brokers reported on Tuesday that Equiva had fixed a modern tanker, the Guardian, for a 70,000 ton cargo from Mexico at W159 ($1.2 per barrel), while in mid-March it was forced to pay about 84 percent more ($2.2 per barrel) for a similar fixture.

Vans Triple Crown Of Surfing — Stop 1:
$125,000 Vans Hawaiian Pro — men's ASP 6-star WQS event
$62,500 Roxy Pro — women's ASP WCT event
Reinforcement Swell For Haleiwa Expected Tuesday Into Wednesday
Honolulu, Hawaii (Monday, Nov. 15, 2004) – After an immediate start on day one of the 2004 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing holding period last Friday, the Vans Hawaiian Pro men's and Roxy Pro women's events at Haleiwa's Ali'i Beach Park have been idling. A diminishing swell Saturday led officials to call for a lay day, then a strong on-shore storm system moved through overnight leaving victory at sea conditions yesterday. Organizers are now looking toward cleaner bigger conditions starting tomorrow, Tuesday, and prevailing through Wednesday. The complete holding period for both events extends to November 24. A total of four days of competition will take place during the period.
"The forecast is that we should start to see things cleaning up tomorrow," said Randy Rarick, Director of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing Series. "Today we have a strong wind warning on the island. Trades are gusting through at 15 to 30 miles an hour and waves are definitely wind-torn. But it's all looking very promising for the next couple of days. Tomorrow might be on the smaller side, but clean conditions, and the outlook is for a good north-west swell reinforcement starting tomorrow and building through Wednesday."
When competition resumes, it will likely be with the remaining six heats of round one of the men's Vans Hawaiian Pro, an Association of Surfing Professionals (A.S.P.) 6-star World Qualifying Series (W.Q.S.) event. Following that, a decision will be made whether to push straight into round two, or shift into the women's Roxy Pro, an A.S.P. World Championship Tour (W.C.T.) event.
Much is at stake in both events. For competitors in the Vans Hawaiian Pro, it is their second-to-last shot at qualifying for next year's elite men's World Championship Tour. For the Roxy Pro, the 2004 A.S.P. women's world title is on the line.
Mathematically, there are still seven women who have a shot at the title, though the majority of those are struggling to keep a toe in the door. Peruvian Sofia Mulanovich, 21, has a strong grip on the rating's lead, and barring what would have to be her worst performance of the year, she has an excellent chance of becoming the first South American to win the ASP World Championship.
Behind Mulanovich, are Rochelle Ballard (Hawaii), Jaqueline Silva (Brazil), Tita Tavares (Brazil), defending world champion Layne Beachley (Australia), Roxy team rider Chelsea Georgeson (Australia), and Laurina McGrath (Australia). Beachley, 32, is the most experienced of the challengers, being a six-time consecutive world champion. End-of-year pressure is nothing new to Beachley, who has battled for the number one stop every winter here in Hawaii. Georgeson, 21, is also familiar with the road to victory, having recently clinched the 2004 A.S.P. women's W.Q.S. championship.
The Roxy Pro will commence with a single trials heat to feature four up-and-coming surf stars who will battle it out for one wildcard into the main event. Trials competitors are Hawaii's pre-teen surfing sensation Carissa Moore, New Zealand's Lisa Hurunui, South African Rosie Hodge, and French champion Caroline Sarran.
Satellite feeds from both events will be made available. Details will be circulated as the event continues.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is made possible through the support of a partnership of the world's leading brands and media companies including: Ford Trucks, G-Shock, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Surfing Magazine, Oahu's Turtle Bay Resort, The Honolulu Advertiser and Fox Sports Net.

Perth, Australia (PressExposure) April 12, 2013 -- Turkish uranium explorer and ASX listed Anatolia Energy Limited ("Anatolia" or "the Company") (ASX:AEK) is pleased to announce the completion of the recent aquifer pumping test program at its advanced uranium exploration Temrezli project in the Central Anatolia district of Turkey. This well testing and the hydraulic values derived from it provide key preliminary information regarding the amenability of the aquifer for utilization of solution mining.
HydroSolutions of Golden, Colorado, USA was retained by Anatolia to conduct the hydrologic test within the Temrezli Uranium project to characterize aquifer properties of the uranium bearing sedimentary units.
Preliminary modelling by HydroSolutions using the aquifer parameters developed from these test results indicated that there is sufficient head and aquifer Transmissivity that would allow wells to be pumped at rates up to 38 l/min for sustained intervals particularly in a typical ISR well pattern. These values compare to the operating ISR facilities in the Northern Powder River Basin in Wyoming, further confirming the solution mining viability of the Temrezli Project.
Anatolia's Managing Director, Jim Graham said, "We are pleased that the results from our hydro test work provide support that solution mining appears a feasible process for our Temrezli uranium deposit. We will undertake additional hydro testing in our next planned drilling program with the goal to continue the advancement in our understanding of the deposit and complete our preliminary feasibility studies."
The wells were equipped with submersible pumps and data logging pressure transducers. State-of-art instrumentation and associated software provided the most accurate formation hydraulic characteristics possible. The goals of the program were two-fold:
1. To determine key hydrologic parameters of flow and storativity, and
2. To demonstrate lateral hydraulic communication (connection) of the ore bearing zones across distances typical of ISR well patterns.
The array of four wells installed to conduct the test were completed across uranium bearing sediments at depths ranging from 96 to 136 meters. Pumping tests were conducted at three of the wells at rates of 8.8 to 32.3 l/min. Water samples from the confined mineralized aquifer collected during the pumping tests from three of the wells returned slightly alkaline water conditions at 8.5 pH and of sufficient quality for solution mining purposes.

2 Apothecary Australian Tea Tree Oil
For the safe removal of skin tags, you can't go wrong with Apothecary Tea tree oil. It is 100% natural and highly effective. It is used by many people because of its ability to safely and quickly get rid of skin tags. The other advantage is that it's easily affordable.
This oil is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and has many other natural medicinal properties, which makes it a great choice to safely remove a skin tag. You won't have to risk any kind of infection, or be in any pain or discomfort.
It is easy to use, also. All that you have to do is to soak a small cotton swab with it, and gently apply it to the tag a few times a day. In a few weeks, the tag will dry up, die, change color, and fall off on its own. It is that easy.
While it may not get rid of a skin tag as other techniques, it is definitely the safest and easiest method. This is important if your tag is in a visible or sensitive area, such as the face or groin, because there's no risk of scarring.
There are 1,300+ customer reviews on Amazon.com, and Apothecary Tea tree oil has an overall satisfaction rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, with over 90% giving it all 5 stars. This is the purest oil available, and you can currently get a 23% discount.
3 TagBand Skin Tag Removal Device
This Tagband device was invented due to a need for a way to tie off a skin tag safely without the risk of infection. Tying off tags with string is a popular method, but it isn't particularly hygienic or easy to perform, especially on your own.
This device is easy to use, and is 100% safe. There is no risk of infection, and you will not experience any pain. This kit includes everything that you need to completely remove a tag in just 7 days.
Put the small band around the device and push it to the top. You'll notice that the tool has a hollow cone that goes over the top of the tag. When in place, push the band off the edge and it will be securely positioned around the tag. This will seal off the stalk and prevent blood flow, so it is unable to survive. It'll die and fall off.
Many people have enjoyed great success, and it works for large tags as well as small. It is important to note that there are two devices available. One is for small skin tags, called the Micro Tagband. The other is for medium and large tags.
It can be used on most areas of the body, including the face. You still need to be careful not to disturb the tag during the healing process. Some other treatments cannot be used on the face, nor can they get rid of large skin tags this easily.
Reviews are very positive, but be sure to buy the right device based on the tag's size. People have stated that their tag was gone in about a week, and many have said that they have used it on their face with no discomfort.
If you want to get rid of skin tags in about a week, then we highly recommend this product. It comes with enough bands to treat 10 tags, which is perfect if you do have multiple skin tags that require treatment. Once removed, it's gone for good.
Causes of Skin Tags
Certain groups are more likely to get skin tags, but anyone can get them at any time. Individuals that use, or have used, steroids are more at risk. People who are clinically obese also see them more commonly – this is a result of the greater intensity of skin rubbing that they experience.
Women who are pregnant also seem to develop tags more readily, largely due to hormonal changes. Also, older people are far more likely to get tags than younger people, possibly due to less skin elasticity. The incidence definitely rises with age.

So lately I've been working on the Qabalistic Tree of Life:
I don't love this picture but it's a work in progress and I wanted to share it because it came about in a rather interesting way for me. I do this relaxation exercise in Savasana pose in order to connect with the energies around me, relax my body and shut my brain up before starting my daily practice. Honestly it's sometimes the longest part of my practice because I just find it bloody hard to let go some days!
I was taught a visualization technique for it but have since learned that I do better if I concentrate on feeling the energy in the air around me instead of trying to build up a visualization. Why? Because I inevitably always try too hard and try to control it too much and just get in the way. By sensing the energies I'm just more relaxed and the visualization just flows in.
The other day, while I was doing this particular part of my practice I was struck by the idea for the image above and immediately stopped everything to create the sketch. It's not perfect and I may one day do one I like better, but for now, I like that it's a starting place for me to contemplate the sphere of Malkuth on the Tree.
Do you ever have those moments when inspiration strikes and you just have to jot it down and work on it? When this one hit me it felt very much like it was funneled through me, something akin to what I always think of as divine inspiration from a mush. It was pretty awesome!

2003 Tokyo Motor Show Index by TCC Team (10/21/2003)
Holden stole the Sydney International Motor Show, which opened on October 16, with a radical new production-ready coupe destined to outshine the 350-hp (260kW) 5.7-liter LS1-powered Pontiac GTOs even before the first U.S.-bound cars ship out. The new all-wheel drive Coupe4 is the brainchild of Holden's go-faster division: Holden Special Vehicles. Power is up to 362 hp (270kW) and drive through the strengthened four-speed auto is split 38 percent front, 62 percent rear, giving the Coupe4 a launch to 100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds on sealed surfaces and an impressive 6.6 seconds on gravel. Australia's first homegrown all-wheel drive coupe runs 19-inch alloys, a wider track all round, complete with natty wheel arch extensions. A muscular body kit front and rear adds muscle tone without looking garish, and four fat chromed tailpipes complete the look-at-me image.
Holden CEO Peter Hanenberger denied the body kit would be fitted to the 2004 Pontiacs to counter the 'jelly bean' critiques leveled at the sleek coupe, designed to resurrect the GTO nameplate in the U.S. Hanenberger, who retires late this year, says up to 200 of the Coupe4 models will be built next year priced about US$60,000, though there are no export plans in the frame — yet. However exports of the regular Holden Monaro to the United Kingdom will start later this year, the Holden Lion replaced by the Vauxhall Griffin badge. Asked how many cars would go to the U.K., where it will be sold in a premium market segment, Mr Hanenberger said: "If we do above 1000 it would be a dream (come true). We don't need big volumes as a global niche manufacturer to be profitable and successful."

The HSV Avalanche will be specified to match luxury European off-roaders with high intensity discharge lamps, tire-pressure monitoring systems and on-board DVD entertainment systems, as well as leather sports seats.
Holden hopes for bilateral bliss
General Motors' Australian brand Holden eagerly anticipated U.S. President George W. Bush's visit Down Under country this past week when, it was hoped, the presidential push for a bilateral trade agreement will speed up the so-far long drawn-out process.
Holden is poised to ship its first batch of Pontiac GTO-badged LS1-powered Coupes to the U.S., but has several more models in the pipeline. Next up would be the replacement for the Chevrolet El Camino, based on Holden's in-house V-8-powered Utility. Holden CEO Peter Hanenberger says it would be next to go should the U.S. "Chicken Tax," which loads a 25-percent duty on imported utes, be waived under a new BTA. A BTA with Thailand is also in the mix, a new market Holden has just declared for its rear-wheel drive Commodore V-6 and V-8 sedans, which currently face an 80 percent import duty. Conversely, utilities made by GM in Thailand attract a five percent tariff slug entering Australia.
Mr. Hanenberger would not be drawn on the future prospects of next generation VE Commodore sedans or derivatives providing the underpinnings for future GM North America products, or for European markets for that matter, but the new vehicles, due late in 2005 in Australia will supply their chassis componentry to a range of GM's larger vehicles towards the end of the decade.
Meanwhile, Holden's all-new engine factory in Melbourne is set to start production of the High Feature V-6 engine family on October 29. First recipients of the engines will be Buick Rendezvous SUVs, with Saab, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and other GM brands queuing up for the engines. Holden won't get to use the HFV6 derivatives until this time next year for the final iteration of the VT Commodore series, dubbed VZ. The HF V-6 will be fitted to all Holden products from early 2005.

When most people think about India, they most definitely don't think about a crazy nightlife scene.
The only exception may be in the hippie city of Goa — which is renowned for it's psychedelic trance parties — but even still, India widely unheard of in the world of partygoers.
I certainly had no idea what to expect from India's nightlife scene prior to my 7-week backpacking trip around the subcontinent. And holy shit, did I have one hell of a fun time!
I started my Indian adventure in Goa (in the South) and worked my way up to Amritsar (in the North). I covered over 4,000 kilometers by train (side note: avoid taking buses… I got in a severe bus crash).
In total, I visited over a dozen cities in India and I partied in the majority of them. In fact, I made it a point to hit up all the cities with the best nightlife, so in a way, my trip was kind of like a "Party Tour of India."
Here is a map of the journey I took in India:
What is the India nightlife scene really like?
In recent years, India has become increasingly popular for it's bars, night clubs and music festivals. Whether your idea of partying is relaxing on a rooftop while sipping a local beer, or raging all night long at a night club, or dancing to EDM at a music festival — I can promise you that India has something special to offer you. The diversity and liveliness of the big cities are reflected in its epic nightlife scene. And it's awesome!
Speaking of EDM (Electronic Dance Music), the scene is hitting India by force. Being an EDM listener and raver myself, this was especially awesome for me to experience. I never expected that I'd be dancing to EDM in India, and moreover, I never thought Indian people would follow all my favorite DJs!
Despite most of the general population staying away from alcohol and late night hangouts, there is still a party happening at night — regardless of which city you happen to be in. I guess it makes logical sense, when you have a country of 1.25 billion people, there is bound to be a decent percentage of partiers. I noticed the younger generation having a more liberal attitude to having fun.
With the exception of Goa, parties around India generally start early and finish no later than 1:30AM. In some Southern cities such as Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore, the doors shut even earlier at 11 or 11:30. I know, I know — if you're like me, then this is disappointing because you like to party all night long. But you can get your fix of that in Goa at the beach parties 😉
In some cities, like Mumbai and Delhi, there are specific venues for after parties which go until 3-4AM. But you must make local friends who can show you where to go because I don't know the exact spots.
It's also important to know that different states in India have different laws, curfews and legal drinking ages. For example, in Delhi, the drinking age is technically 25 (although it's not strictly enforced), but in Goa, it's 18. Almost all other states in India is 21, but once again, it's not strictly enforced because venues will just want your business. I was only asked to show my ID in luxurious night clubs in Mumbai.
Also, if you happen to be in India in the beginning of March, then you MUST participate in the annual Holi Festival! During Holi, or the Festival of Colors, everyone in the country splashes each other with neon bright pain colors. Literally, people chase each other in the streets, fields, temples and buildings, armed with packets of dry powdered paint and covering random people from head to toe in neon colors. It happens all over the country.
It's crazy because many people are high from drinking Bhang (yes, many people get high in India), and it's such a fun experience!
Here is a photo of me at Holi in 2015, getting smacked in the face by paint from a random dude:
What kind of party venues can you find in India?
In any big city, you will find a wide variety of pubs, bars and night clubs.
The venues are divided into cheap dive places which consist of mostly men, and then you have the luxury, swanky places for the people with bills to spend. The latter venues are typically found in 5-star international hotels and sometimes shopping malls in Mumbai. Clubbing in these posh nightclubs feels more like clubbing in Europe or Vegas, with very expensive cover charges (up to $70 per couple) and expensive drinks ($10 per beer).
Alright so now that you have a basic understand of what to expect from the nightlife scene in India, I will now present you with the Top 7 party cities in India! Each city will have a brief explanation, and they are in order with #1 being the best.
**All of the advice that you are receiving has come from my own personal experiences, unless otherwise stated 🙂 **
Top 7 Party Cities in India
1. Goa
Find the best hotels in Goa on this link.
There is no question that Goa is the #1 party spot in India. And not only in India, but I would rank Goa in the Top 5 around the world.
I began my Indian trip with 7 days in Goa. By the end of those 7 days, I could hardly think straight because I had so much damn fun!
The city has a long history of partying – dating back to the 1960s – when dozens of hippies settled there and started partying on the beach. The scene has only gotten bigger since then, and even 50 years later, Goa is still the best place to party in India.
Goa is synonymous with beach parties, and it has developed the reputation for the craziest outdoor psychedelic trance parties in the world. The scene is authentic and underground. If you like trance music, then go to Goa and you'll love it. The best beach parties are on Anjuna beach 🙂
Here is a photo of me at one of the trance parties in Goa:
Aside from the beach trance parties, there is a fun clubbing scene in Goa that is filled with swanky lounges, trendy nightclubs, fun bars and lots of dancing. There are also a number of pubs and live entertainment venues.
The best party about partying in Goa is that nothing closes until the sun rises. You won't find this anywhere else in India.
2. Mumbai (Bombay)
Find the best hotels in Mumbai on this link.
After I partied my heart out in Goa, I immediately headed to Mumbai to do the same thing. The scene here is quite different than Goa, but I had the time of my life! I am assuming that most of you reading this post will prefer the nightlife in Mumbai over Goa.
Partying in Mumbai is similar to any big international city like Seoul, Berlin or L.A. It is India's designated city for glamour, Bollywood stars and luxurious parties. Pretty much exactly the opposite of carefree hippie parties in Goa.
The atmosphere in Bombay is lively and exotic. The night clubs are insane and crowded, and the bars/lounges are trendy and fun. Most night clubs play EDM hits with live DJs who are recruiter from all over the world. The crowd is diverse, with a healthy mix of international partygoers as well as local Indian people. The best nightlife areas are in Colaba and the Lowel Parel in South Mumbai.
Here is a photo inside a night club called Royalty in Mumbai:
If clubbing isn't your thing, then don't worry because there are many places to get cheap beers (Bandra, Colaba) with a more pub-friendly vibe.
3. Delhi

As a city with 25 million people and the capital of India, Delhi's nightlife can not be missed during your trip.
The scene is a nice mix of young locals and tourists. It's not so luxurious or expensive like Mumbai, and not so hippie like Goa, but it offers a nice mix of everything. I really enjoyed partying in Delhi.
Most of the happening nightlife takes place in discos, pubs, night clubs and super-sized restaurants. There is an area in the center of the city called Connaught Place (or C.P.), which reminded me of NYC, and you can find lots of fun bars and clubs around there. I spent most of my nights in C.P. and had a great time!
4. Bangalore
Find the best hotels in Bangalore on this link.
Known as the "Silicon Valley of India," Bangalore is the technological hub of India with lots of youngsters who come alive after the sun goes down.
Bangalore is also considered as the "pub capital of India," due to the beer loving culture and happening nightlife. All the geeky tech guys have the mentality of "work hard, play hard," so it can get pretty rowdy and crazy!
Most of the night clubs are located inside big hotels (like Mumbai), but the majority of nightlife consists of pubs and lounges. There is an area called M.G. Road which has some 50 pubs – a great place to start pub hopping around.
5. Jaipur
Find the best hotels in Jaipur on this link.
The capital city of Rajasthan, also known as the Pink City, will not disappoint! Most people only come here to visit the famous landmarks and don't think to party. But think again!
I spent a great 4 days partying in Jaipur with some new friends that I met from Argentina and Portugal. In addition to the bars and clubs, there are midnight markets which add to the lively atmosphere in the night time.
The scene in Jaipur is a bit more hippie than the others on this list, due to the fact that the Rajasthan State is the "Hippie State" of India. You will find a nice variety of pubs, clubs and smiling faces from all corners of the globe in Jaipur.
6. Pune
Pune is like a mini-Mumbai, because it is located just 100 kilometers away. It's much smaller than Mumbai, and it's filled with many universities which means a younger and happening nightlife scene.
The natives of Pune are energetic and thrill seeking. It's city where you can grab cheap beers, get drunk, and dance the night away. Don't stress about any dress codes or spending too much money in Pune.
You'll find everything from big EDM clubs to live music concerts to pubs and discos. I recommend going here to party before your trip to Mumbai — beacuse you may have just as much fun!
7. Chennai
Last but not least is the Southern Indian city of Chennai! Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to visit Chennai, but a lot of my friends did, and gave me the same advice as I'm telling you right now.
Chennai is recognized as a metropolitan city known for it's good people and rich culture. The city is jumping on the 'trend bandwagon' and becoming a popular destination for music lovers.
In other words, the nightlife scene in Channai is rapidly growing, so don't miss out if you're passing by South India!
So there you have it, the 7 best party cities in India. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any more advice or need help planning your trip! HAVE FUN 🙂

Casement Window Weatherstripping
A home owner from Chicago says:
December 1, 2013
I recently purchased a home built in '87. The glass on in the windows have been replaced but the frames look original. I am looking to replace the weatherstripping to cut down on drafts. Attached photo #2 & #4 show the stripping. It slides into a groove cut in the window frame. The entire strip is 5/8" thick, the foam insert part of it is 3/8". Photo #1 shows the leaf guard for the windows. That is 1/2" thick. I would like to replace this as well. Any suggestions on product that would match mine? No markings on window to ID brand.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
December 4, 2013
I'm not sure if we have an exact replacement. Could you possibly use something like our 58-170? This looks close to me, but let me know if you agree.
A home owner from Illinois says:
December 4, 2013
Thanks Dave I ordered a strip of that product two days ago to try out. I hope to get it soon.

Idris Elba directs Mumford & Sons video
The Wire star also appears in the clip for the folk rockers' single Lover Of The Light video, which was shot in the Welsh countryside, and the band is thrilled with the result.
Britain's The Sun quotes the group as saying, "We are huge fans of Idris' work, as he's the most bada** British actor since Richard Briers. So we trusted him.
"We've been fortunate to work with some great directors but we've never really enjoyed being in videos. Talking to Idris and Dan (Cadan, scriptwriter) about making a video that we're not in made it a lot more fun.
"They wrote the treatment after our ale-infused conversation in a pub in London. What they directed we are proud to present."
In a post on his Twitter.com page, Elba links to the clip and adds, "I want to share this with you… I wrote & directed this video for Mumford And Sons. Very proud amazing song."

Chickens come home to roost as Blackburn are relegated
Blackburn Rovers 0 Wigan Athletic 1: The skies were black and forbidding, the rain incessant. It was a night for a reckoning. The mood as Blackburn went down was as sullen as the weather. Here in December after a defeat by Bolton, Ewood Park had directed every shred of venom at the figure of Steve Kean.
Now, when the relegation Kean's critics had all predicted for him came calling, they did not appear to have the energy to hound him until Antolin Alcaraz's header from Jean Beausejour's corner squeezed past Paul Robinson. Then, suddenly, the stadium appeared ready for a lynching. Alcaraz's header ensured that Wigan, a little club wonderfully managed by Roberto Martinez, will spend an eighth season in the Premier League. Their ability as escapologists marks them out as the Southampton of the 21st century and Martinez as one of the managers of the year.
The feelings of his chairman, Dave Whelan, who played for Blackburn in the 1960 FA Cup final, will however have been mixed. It is hard to imagine any club that would employ Kean again in a hurry. His responsibility for the disasters that have overtaken Blackburn runs very deep.
It says something that the footballers on whom he had spent £20m were mostly on the bench. Bar one flurry midway through the second half, Blackburn made little attempt to win what should have been the game of their lives. The night required the kitchen sink to be thrown at Wigan; Blackburn managed a couple of spatulas.
Kean, sooner or later will lose his job. However, once his contract is settled, he will walk away a millionaire. The same cannot be said of the people in the ticket office, in corporate hospitality and who have to sell a ruined, relegated club to advertisers. They will have no parachute payments and Blackburn in 2012 is an awful place to find yourself without work.
There had been plenty of predictions that this would be the night when all of the home team's chickens came home to roost but few expected one on the pitch. Seven minutes into the game, one, wrapped in a Blackburn flag, was released from the Darwen End and wandered around the Wigan penalty area as aimlessly as some of the home side's strikers before Ali Al-Habsi got his gloves to it and an assistant steward carried the bird off.
For Venky's, India's biggest poultry producer, this is probably the only positive publicity their products have had since they bought out the Walker Trust. At a stroke it provided Wigan's keeper with more work than Blackburn had given Brad Friedel when, desperately needing victory at Tottenham, they had somehow failed to muster a shot of any description on goal.
Here, they did at least attempt to score. Anthony Modeste, David Dunn and Morten Gamst Pedersen all aimed shots in the vague direction of the target. They seldom, however, came to terms with a Wigan side that, unlike Blackburn, a club with far greater resources and history, has managed to transform itself when it absolutely mattered.
Martinez's side were slick, positive and relaxed, which, given they had just beaten Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle, they were entitled to be.
There were not, however, the weight of chances their easy dominance might have entitled them to. Victor Moses, as he has in these final furlongs, provided Wigan's sharpest edge, wriggling past Scott Dann and forcing Paul Robinson to save at his near post. Then, deeper into the first half, he headed a fine cross from Franco di Santo across the face of the Blackburn goal. Had there been anyone to follow it up, the night might have been put out of its misery.
Just after the interval, a rather portly fan ran on to the pitch and threw his season ticket at the improbable figure of Martinez before being wearily arrested by a lone policeman. This begged the question that the protester either did not know who managed his club or that he was attempting to parody some of Blackburn's shooting. Frankly, it would have been better to have put the chicken back on.
Eventually, Blackburn managed to work the opposition goalkeeper as Yakubu, who had been voted the club's player of a dreadful season, saw his shot blocked on the line. It was not saved by the keeper but it still represented Blackburn's first shot on target in 142 minutes of sometimes desperate football.
Then came what seemed to be the critical moment as, with the ball bobbling around the Wigan area, Emmerson Boyce fouled Junior Hoilett. The referee, Mark Clattenburg, waited an age before waving play on.It looked a penalty but Kean will have looked up to the sodden skies and seen only pagan gods.

My boss has asked me to make reservations for her and her colleagues at a conference in Feb. near the 12th & Market Marriott. I lived in Philly ten years ago (12? yeesh, time flies) and often reminisce about the restaurants. That being said, she wants a place that isn't "too loud", takes reservations and isn't too expensive. That takes off most of my favorites.
I loved Tequila's when we were there, but I was also a lot younger and went with big crowds. Also loved Vetri, but I think that's going to be priced out.
What recommendations would you have? To her credit, I offered Mccormick and Schmick's and she said she'd prefer something local.
Groups will be 4 one night and 5 another, so that's not too hard (so glad it's not 20 people).

Constitutional Mandate by David Barton
This second plaque in the Small Senate Rotunda notes that on November 22nd, President John Adams delivered the first Presidential speech ever given in this building – a speech given to the first joint-session of Congress assembled in the original Senate Chamber. His speech was quite short, but in it, President John Adams offered his prayer for this city. According to the Records of Congress, John Adams prayed:
May this territory [Washington, D.C.] be the residence of virtue and happiness! In this city, may that piety and virtue, that wisdom and magnanimity, that constancy and self-government which adorned the great character whose name it bears, be forever held in veneration! Here and throughout our country, may simple manners, pure morals, and true religion flourish forever! 75 This is quite a prayer for Washington, D. C. – and for the nation – and it was a prayer which occurred in the room immediately behind the plaque – the original Senate Chamber now called the Old Supreme Court Chamber).
Another item of significance connected with this part of the Capitol is one of the first official acts of Congress. This occurred when our Founders moved into and first occupied this room and the adjoining chamber, and this action is recorded in the Annals of Congress.
David Barton explains that the records of Congress are required by the constitutional mandate of Article I, Section 5, ¶ 3, which requires that written records be kept of the proceedings in Congress. The Founders required this because they wanted government open, accessible, and accountable to the people.
With the congressional records, citizens, at any time, may read what our elected officials are doing and saying – or not doing and not saying – and then hold them accountable. Every debate and every vote which has taken place in Congress from 1774 to the present is recorded in these public records. And it is because of these records that we know exactly what happened when Congress moved into this building.

A man told police that the bouncers who ejected him from the Classic City Saloon Saturday morning bloodied his nose and beat him up outside the bar.
Police were called to investigate a fight at 1:55 a.m., and were told by a man who had been forcibly ejected that employees of the Clayton Street bar had removed him from the premises for attempting to help a girl up off the floor.
The man was ejected and claimed that employees had bloodied his nose during the struggle to remove him from the bar.
No one admitted hitting the man in the nose. No arrests were made.

What is Growth? In the context of the program, growth can mean two different things
- making the business larger (e.g. increase turn over, open more outlets), or
- improving the performance (including profitability) of the business at existing or reduced levels as well as improving your lifestyle.
We have graduates of the program who have cut markets, reduced their turnover, cut staff levels and are infinitely more profitable. Growth can be different things to different people, but the thrust of the program is about improving profitability and the owner/manager being less "hands on".
Will I be able to just start growing my business? The Growth Owner Program initially focuses on assisting owners to analyse their business
Participants, with their mentors to assist them (see below regarding mentors), conduct an objective review of their business and its potential for growth. Often work is required to be done to prepare the business for growth (e.g. laying the foundations for growth by introducing systems, solving HR issues, improving financial reporting systems, etc.). It is important to do this properly and develop a plan to achieve a stable foundation for growth. In fact, for some participants this process alone takes much of the program to achieve.
Will I be embarrassed by my lack of financial knowledge? The accounting module is designed for non-accountants.
The vast majority of our clients are not comfortable at all with using their financial accounts to assist them manage the business. Most are not able to fully understand their P&L and Balance Sheet. Many participants find this module the most beneficial for them as it has a large (and immediate) impact on the performance of their business. The financial analysis helps identify, in part, the profitable and non-profitable areas of the business. After this analysis people make changes to their business to make it more profitable.
Is there anyone who can give me some hands-on help? Each participant is matched with an experienced mentor or business coach
Participants spend a total of 30 hours one-on-one with their mentor (at mutually convenient places and times). The mentor is not a consultant and will not "do it for you". However, they will sit at your shoulder and help you learn to do it yourself. Our clients often find that it is "lonely at the top" and they value the relationship with their mentor – particularly as the mentor can look at their business objectively and offer impartial advice. These relationships sometimes continue on for years after the program. Our mentors are all involved in business or are retired after years of being in business. They are experienced at counselling and guiding small business people.
Does this program help me to network? One important benefit of the program is that you are instantly plugged into a new network.
You spend a full day every 3 weeks for 1 year with about 20 like-minded people. Participants learn a lot from each other (particularly in the lunch room when people can exchange ideas and experiences to assist each other). If you have a problem there is bound to be at least one person in the group who has faced that problem and solved it. The room is full of free consultants!
We can plug you into the wider university network. The University sometimes has students who are looking for case studies to complete marketing and business plans. We have been able to introduce clients to students who have done such plans for them at no cost.
Are there any pre-requisites to joining the program? Most of our clients have had little formal education and have learnt on the job.
The Growth Owner program has been developed with this in mind and people who have not completed high school are at no disadvantage. There are no pre-requisites other than having a willingness to learn and participate.
What is the cost of the program? There is an all inclusive costs with scholarships availiable
The 2017 all-inclusive cost of the program is $17,100, scholarships are currently available to all who enrol and this reduces the cost to $11,000. Payment is by initial deposit and then equal monthly instalments.
How do I get value from this investment? We will help you analyse the benefits of the program and its applicability to you.
We realise that this is a significant investment in money and time to undertake the program and acknowledge that you need to be well assured that you will get excellent value from the program.
We try hard to ensure that all participants get good value from their investment and are happy to report that the vast majority do. Often their investment is recouped with one decision.
As a rule of thumb, we find that companies with less than three or four employees or a turnover of less the $250,000 are not likely to get value from the program. That said, we have had participants who have less employees (some have had no employees) and have got excellent results and value from the program. It really depends on your situation, stage of development and plans.
Will you do a hard sell on me? We are not in the business of pressing people into something that is not really suitable for them.
This does no-one any good. The best way to get an understanding of the program is to attend an information session where we will present the merits of the program. We can also provide introductions to people in a similar position to you who have done the program. In the end, we try hard to give you sufficient information to allow you to make an informed decision about the Growth Owner Program and if it will meet your requirements. If this program is not suitable for you we have other options that might be.
What if one of my competitors is on the program? We ensure that there are no competitors on your program.
This ensures participants can share information and experiences freely. Once someone has committed to the program (when we have received the completed registration form and the deposit) they have the first right of refusal if we think a competitor is showing interest in joining the same program.
When do you schedule the workshops? We schedule the training days to suit business people.
All the workshops are single days (9.00 am – 4.00 pm). We do not train during school holidays, on a short week (where a public holiday falls during the working week, around Easter and the end of Financial Year). The dates for the program are given to you before the program begins.
