Q: How do I change my home address?
A: You can update your home address online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/. Or you may complete a W-4 Form each time you need your home address changed. Please send the form to the Payroll Department, 120 S Burrowes St, James M. Elliott Building, Suite 101, State College, PA 16801.
Q: How do I change my Allowances of Exemptions for federal taxes?
A: You can update your allowances or exemptions online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/. Or you may complete a W-4 Form and send it to the Payroll Department, 120 S Burrowes St, James M. Elliott Building, Suite 101, State College, PA 16801.
Q: How will I receive my W-2 Form since I am leaving Penn State?
A: Please be sure to contact the Payroll Office before leaving so we can instruct you how to have your address changed.
Q: Why didn't my address for the payroll records change since I changed my address with the student records?
A: The Payroll Office and the Student System are two different systems, therefore, you need to make the changes with both offices.
Q: If I carry an out-of-state address on my W-4, do I have to pay Pennsylvania State taxes?
A: Penn State withholds Pennsylvania State taxes from everyone's paycheck with the exception of individuals who live and work in another state even though they are paid by Penn State or if they are one of the six states that have a reciprocal agreement with the state of Pennsylvania. The six states are Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, Virginia, and West Virginia. A separate form, Rev-419, found on the state of Pennsylvania website must be completed if you are from any of the six states.
Q: How do I change my bank account for my direct deposit?
A: You can update your direct deposit information online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/. Or you may complete a Salary Deposit Form and give us the new bank information. The form needs to be received in the Payroll Office by the 15th of the month in order to be processed for the monthly payroll. A necessary change after the 15th would need to be brought into the Office personally.
Q: What do I do if I had to close the bank account into which my salary was being deposited, but I didn't inform the Payroll Office?
A: Please contact the Payroll Office as soon as possible to be instructed about the steps that need to be taken.
Q: How do I change the bank account information that I currently have on file to another bank account?
A: You can change your bank account information online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/. Or you may complete a Salary Deposit Request Form and submit it to the Payroll Office.
Q: What do I do if I lost my W-2 or never received my W-2 ?
A: Send an email to email@example.com and request a duplicate W-2; be sure to include your name and current mailing address.
Q: Why do I have tuition showing on my paycheck when I have already paid my tuition?
A: When an employee's spouse takes graduate level classes the person pays 25% of the cost of the class or classes. The other 75% is considered a taxable benefit by IRS regulation. The employer is required to withhold Federal tax, FICA, and Medi tax on the 75% that is covered by the employer. At PSU we divide the 75% into three and add that portion onto the gross of your check for three pays. The net pay is less due to paying Federal tax, FICA, and Medi on a higher gross. We then show the amount of the tuition that was added into the gross as an "other deduction" to reflect the increased gross. Sometimes it is helpful if you can compare one of your check stubs that did not have the tuition shown to help you understand how it works.
Q: How do I change my annuity amount?
A: To change your tax-deferred annuity plans contact Employee Benefits Office.
Q: What is Flex Option 1?
A: Information on this benefit option is explained by the Employee Benefits Office website at http://ohr.psu.edu/.
Q: Why didn't I receive my overtime or shift differential on my paycheck?
A: Please contact the department for which you work; we can only pay what the department has submitted electronically.
Q: Why am I having healthcare withheld from my paycheck when I am a graduate student?
A: Information on this question can be found on the Student Affairs website at http://studentaffairs.psu.edu/ .
Q: How can I obtain a summary of my earnings for either the current or prior years?
A: If you are a current employee, you can access your current and year-to-date earnings online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/. Otherwise, contact the Payroll Office via email, mail, phone, or come to the office to request the year or years you need. If you plan to pick up the print out, you will need to provide a form of identification.
Q: How do I change my Penn State Federal Credit Union deduction amount?
A: The forms required to make this change can be found on GURU in the Forms Section of Payroll. After you complete them they need to be processed by the Credit Union. The Credit Union will pass the necessary information to the Payroll Office for processing.
Q: How do I get my local taxing authority changed if my home address is correct?
A: You can change your local taxing authority online at https://essic.ohr.psu.edu/.
Q: Why is my wage payroll check being taxed at 25%?
A: When an individual has more than one appointment on file with the same place of employment the monthly appointment is considered the primary appointment and is taxed based on whatever the person claims on their W-4 information. The wage or biweekly is considered a secondary appointment and the IRS regulation requires the check to be taxed at a flat 25%. This is determined based on when the employee is paid, not necessarily when they worked.
Q: Do I have to pay the Local Service Tax more than once a year if I have more than one employer?
A: If you have already had the Local Service Tax withheld by an employer other than Penn State, send the PSU Payroll Office a photocopy of the other employer's statement showing that you have already had the tax withheld and a Local Services Tax Exemption Certificate that can be found at http://www.newpa.com/local-government/tax-information/local-services-tax. Once we have the appropriate information, we can stop the tax from being withheld from that point forward, however, you'll have to request refunds from the appropriate taxing authority where you work, not where you reside.
Q: What is the Wage Tax Statement?
A: This statement represents the wage salary for a certain year broken down by pay date and the amount withheld.

I travelled to Pretoria to visit friends and for a break. So I didn't really know much about the place and I was a bit terrified of staying there with all the stories one hears about South Africa. It was a really nice hotel going by its brand and experience. Although different to the one in Lusaka in terms of service, this has really good service. I would recommend it.

- Reservation Options:

Back in high school, a buddy of mine led the state in tackles as a linebacker. He was fucking ferocious. On game day, he'd drink gatorade all afternoon a refuse to go to the restroom. On the first play of the game, he'd growl, on the verge of madness and piss himself in front of the opposing team's offensive line. From their perspective, it wasn't the slightest bit amusing. It was terrifying. They all thought "This motherfucker is crazy. I want nothing to do with him."

Good Times In Angeles City
Angeles City Travel Blog› entry 1 of 1 › view all entries
February 23rd, 2009 – by: masterfer
Copung-copung (grill & restaurant) located at Mc Arthur Hi-Way,
Balibago, Angeles City, where they serve special kapampangan food & delicacies, I enjoy the food so much to the very last bone! After that, we went to a KTV Bar that is just right beside 19 Copung-copung, we spent more than an hour singing along. We did not waste any more time, we hop into another bar called R&B which is located along Friendship Hi-way, still in Angeles City, we spent the rest of the night jamming with the bands playing, dancing, enjoying every toss of vodka. After partying that night, we enjoyed shopping at SM Clark, with stylish clothes and accessories to groceries. We took our lunch at Angeles Fried Chicken situated within Diamond Subdivision along Marlim Boulevard in Angeles City with their finest and most famous specialties which include Whole Roast Chicken, Chicken Barbeque, and Grilled Chicken. In addition to its delectable rice meals, they also offers sumptuous snacks such as Cheeseburger, Onion Rings, as well as French Fried Mushrooms. We have a great and comfortable dining experience, it has a relaxing ambiance and an accommodating staff who always provide fast and highly efficient services. Then after that, we visited Holy Rosary Parish, to solemnly pray and thank the Lord for all the blessings we have, this historical church took almost 20 years to build in 1877. On the same day, we also visited Apu Church where there is a celebration of sorts that takes place every Friday near the chapel where the statue is located. The highlight is the Apu Market, which is truly one of a kind. Every Friday, stores and stands appear everywhere near the vicinity of the chapel (making up the Apu Market). We had purchased cheap accessories and house decors for our mom, I also bought my son a spongebob shirt and shorts and pair of shoes as my "pasalubong" for him. While my brother had a chance to see his long-lost high school friend who lives just right beside the Apu Church, and then we had a dinner, spent the rest of the day in their house. We have so much fun and excitement being together, I must say, that was an unforgettable memories for me, my bros and sis, a really good time in Angeles City.

Referees need reminder to start minding the steps
Thankfully this won't appear as just sour grapes because I had the foresight to tweet about it a week earlier, but what is the story with forwards in hurling and football bearing down on goal and the number of steps permitted?
I could bore you with a long pained investigation into Kildare's inability to see out Sunday's game against Tyrone, delving deep into the psyche of the side that couldn't just hack down (ironically) a Tyrone forward in those last 20 seconds.
I could mention the scoring opportunities passed up and the sideline ball in the last minute kicked backwards into the surprised hands of a Tyrone forward. Instead I'm pointing out the special secret rule that applies only to forwards chasing a game – take as many steps as you need, the referee won't whistle.

Shipping Containers for Disaster Areas/
GivingTracker| Converting empty shipping containers into useable housing is a top priority for eclectic, design-minded folks around the world. A project is in work downtown on Lafayette Street in NYC — hardly the poor rent district.
Many design people believe that recycling shippping containers into efficient, stylish but low-cost dwellings isn't just for the smart set. Sources: Flavorwire; Clemson team studying use of shipping containers for housing in disaster areas

He is a machine made for scoring. With this game drifting into anticlimax for Liverpool, Fernando Torres again showed why he is the outstanding goalscorer in European football, exploding into life with just seven minutes to go to deliver a typical viper-strike from the left channel.
By beating Craig Gordon at the near post, Torres ensured a happy end to a troubled week at Anfield and if Liverpool are to mount a serious challenge for their first title in 19 years, Torres will be at the heart of it.
Coming into his fifth year, Rafael Benitez is under serious pressure to mount a challenge. However, those efforts are being undermined by the farcical contortions of the club's efforts to sign Gareth Barry from Aston Villa. Benitez is apparently frustrated by his chief executive Rick Parry and the failure of the American owners Hicks and Gillett to wrap up the Barry deal. Add to that the agitation of Xabi Alonso for a move away from Anfield - possibly to Arsenal - and it makes for an unhappy ship.
Certainly, Liverpool were foggy-headed from kick-off, carrying a heavy hangover from their abysmal performance in the goalless midweek Champions League qualifier against Standard Liege.
Sami Hyypia was chosen ahead of Dan Agger in the centre of defence, presumably to counteract the aerial prowess of Daryl Murphy, and swiftly gifted El Hadji Diouf a chance to score, messing up a back header that fell way short. Jamie Carragher cleared up something he was going to have to get used. Indeed Carragher spent the half screeching at the new Italian left-back Andrea Dossena, trying to curb his forward movements. Poor Dossena was in turn shouted at by Benitez, who demanded he make more attacking runs.
The problems were not just in defence. The much vaunted £40 million pairing of Torres and Robbie Keane in attack failed to click, and Torres only scored after Keane had been substituted. Roy Keane wants to sign a top-class centre- half but Nyron Nosworthy and Danny Collins were composed in dealing with the pair. Robbie Keane played deeper, trying to collect and run at the defence. He failed to make much headway in the early stages though and only had a snap shot wide after a neat bit of juggling to show for his efforts.
Sunderland, in contrast, have made a substantial improvement over the summer. Roy Keane has bought more astutely than in previous transfer windows, and the radical restructuring has had clear benefits.
Steed Malbranque was outstanding on the right flank, looking trim and sharp, combining well with right-back Pascal Chimbonda, also signed from Tottenham. The other acquisition from White Hart Lane, Teemu Tainio, was ferocious in defensive midfield.
Working off that solid platform was Diouf, who might well prove the bargain of the summer. The best chance of the half came when his cross, from the left, picked out Murphy. The Sunderland striker had a free header but could not get enough on it.
Liverpool grew in self-belief in the second half, and the half-time introduction of Alonso, in place of Damien Plessis, was certainly instrumental to that. Plessis had not played poorly and has the makings of a really serious player. But Alonso is that already.
Having escaped when Diouf mis-hit a Tainio cross at the far post straight at Jose Reina, Liverpool surged forward. Yossi Benayoun finally gave Craig Gordon something to think about when his direct run and shot brought out a tidy near-post save. Keane followed up but his effort was blocked.
Gerrard went even closer with an hour played, his attempt to cuff the ball inside the far post from just inside the box blocked by Collins.
Collins almost undid his good work though when he deflected Kuyt's shot but Gordon was swiftly down to his left and then back up to block the Keane follow up. Belatedly, Liverpool were stirring. And Torres was loading the bullet in the chamber.

As he spoke in this way, it seemed as if he had already been out in the world, as if he had already known and associated with man. But this experience was intuitive – it was the poetry within him, a gift from Heaven bestowed on him in his cradle. He bade farewell to his parental roof in the Tree of the Sun, and departed on foot, from the pleasant scenes that surrounded his home. Arrived at its confines, he mounted on the back of an ostrich, which runs faster than a horse, and afterwards, when he fell in with the wild swans, he swung himself on the strongest of them, for he loved change, and away he flew over the sea to distant lands, where there were great forests, deep lakes, lofty mountains, and proud cities. Wherever he came it seemed as if sunshine travelled with him across the fields, for every flower, every bush, exhaled a renewed fragrance, as if conscious that a friend and protector was near; one who understood them, and knew their value. The stunted rose-bush shot forth twigs, unfolded its leaves, and bore the most beautiful roses; every one could see it, and even the black, slimy wood-snail noticed its beauty. "I will give my seal to the flower," said the snail, "I have trailed my slime upon it, I can do no more.
"Thus it always fares with the beautiful in this world," said the poet. And he made a song upon it, and sung it after his own fashion, but nobody listened. Then he gave a drummer twopence and a peacock's feather, and composed a song for the drum, and the drummer beat it through the streets of the town, and when the people heard it they said, "That is a capital tune." The poet wrote many songs about the true, the beautiful, and the good. His songs were listened to in the tavern, where the tallow candles flared, in the fresh clover field, in the forest, and on the high-seas; and it appeared as if this brother was to be more fortunate than the other two.
But the evil spirit was angry at this, so he set to work with soot and incense, which he can mix so artfully as to confuse an angel, and how much more easily a poor poet. The evil one knew how to manage such people. He so completely surrounded the poet with incense that the man lost his head, forgot his mission and his home, and at last lost himself and vanished in smoke.
But when the little birds heard of it, they mourned, and for three days they sang not one song. The black wood-snail became blacker still; not for grief, but for envy. "They should have offered me incense," he said, "for it was I who gave him the idea of the most famous of his songs – the drum song of 'The Way of the World;' and it was I who spat at the rose; I can bring a witness to that fact."
But no tidings of all this reached the poet's home in India. The birds had all been silent for three days, and when the time of mourning was over, so deep had been their grief, that they had forgotten for whom they wept. Such is the way of the world.
"Now I must go out into the world, and disappear like the rest," said the fourth brother. He was as good-tempered as the third, but no poet, though he could be witty.
The two eldest had filled the castle with joyfulness, and now the last brightness was going away. Sight and hearing have always been considered two of the chief senses among men, and those which they wish to keep bright; the other senses are looked upon as of less importance.
But the younger son had a different opinion; he had cultivated his taste in every way, and taste is very powerful. It rules over what goes into the mouth, as well as over all which is presented to the mind; and, consequently, this brother took upon himself to taste everything stored up in bottles or jars; this he called the rough part of his work. Every man's mind was to him as a vessel in which something was concocting; every land a kind of mental kitchen. "There are no delicacies here," he said; so he wished to go out into the world to find something delicate to suit his taste. "Perhaps fortune may be more favorable to me than it was to my brothers. I shall start on my travels, but what conveyance shall I choose? Are air balloons invented yet?" he asked of his father, who knew of all inventions that had been made, or would be made.
Air balloons had not then been invented, nor steam-ships, nor railways.
"Good," said he; "then I shall choose an air balloon; my father knows how they are to be made and guided. Nobody has invented one yet, and the people will believe that it is an ærial phantom. When I have done with the balloon I shall burn it, and for this purpose, you must give me a few pieces of another invention, which will come next; I mean a few chemical matches."
He obtained what he wanted, and flew away. The birds accompanied him farther than they had the other brothers. They were curious to know how this flight would end. Many more of them came swooping down; they thought it must be some new bird, and he soon had a goodly company of followers. They came in clouds till the air became darkened with birds as it was with the cloud of locusts over the land of Egypt.
And now he was out in the wide world. The balloon descended over one of the greatest cities, and the æronaut took up his station at the highest point, on the church steeple. The balloon rose again into the air, which it ought not to have done; what became of it is not known, neither is it of any consequence, for balloons had not then been invented.
There he sat on the church steeple. The birds no longer hovered over him; they had got tired of him, and he was tired of them. All the chimneys in the town were smoking.
"There are altars erected to my honor," said the wind, who wished to say something agreeable to him as he sat there boldly looking down upon the people in the street. There was one stepping along, proud of his purse; another, of the key he carried behind him, though he had nothing to lock up; another took a pride in his moth-eaten coat; and another, in his mortified body. "Vanity, all vanity!" he exclaimed. "I must go down there by-and-by, and touch and taste; but I shall sit here a little while longer, for the wind blows pleasantly at my back. I shall remain here as long as the wind blows, and enjoy a little rest. It is comfortable to sleep late in the morning when one had a great deal to do," said the sluggard; "so I shall stop here as long as the wind blows, for it pleases me."
And there he stayed. But as he was sitting on the weather-cock of the steeple, which kept turning round and round with him, he was under the false impression that the same wind still blew, and that he could stay where he was without expense.
But in India, in the castle on the Tree of the Sun, all was solitary and still, since the brothers had gone away one after the other.
"Nothing goes well with them," said the father; "they will never bring the glittering jewel home, it is not made for me; they are all dead and gone." Then he bent down over the Book of Truth, and gazed on the page on which he should have read of the life after death, but for him there was nothing to be read or learned upon it.
His blind daughter was his consolation and joy; she clung to him with sincere affection, and for the sake of his happiness and peace she wished the costly jewel could be found and brought home.
With longing tenderness she thought of her brothers. Where were they? Where did they live? How she wished she might dream of them; but it was strange that not even in dreams could she be brought near to them. But at last one night she dreamt that she heard the voices of her brothers calling to her from the distant world, and she could not refrain herself, but went out to them, and yet it seemed in her dream that she still remained in her father's house. She did not see her brothers, but she felt as it were a fire burning in her hand, which, however, did not hurt her, for it was the jewel she was bringing to her father. When she awoke she thought for a moment that she still held the stone, but she only grasped the knob of her distaff.
During the long evenings she had spun constantly, and round the distaff were woven threads finer than the web of a spider; human eyes could never have distinguished these threads when separated from each other. But she had wetted them with her tears, and the twist was as strong as a cable. She rose with the impression that her dream must be a reality, and her resolution was taken.
It was still night, and her father slept; she pressed a kiss upon his hand, and then took her distaff and fastened the end of the thread to her father's house. But for this, blind as she was, she would never have found her way home again; to this thread she must hold fast, and trust not to others or even to herself. From the Tree of the Sun she broke four leaves; which she gave up to the wind and the weather, that they might be carried to her brothers as letters and a greeting, in case she did not meet them in the wide world. Poor blind child, what would become of her in those distant regions? But she had the invisible thread, to which she could hold fast; and she possessed a gift which all the others lacked. This was a determination to throw herself entirely into whatever she undertook, and it made her feel as if she had eyes even at the tips of her fingers, and could hear down into her very heart. Quietly she went forth into the noisy, bustling, wonderful world, and wherever she went the skies grew bright, and she felt the warm sunbeam, and a rainbow above in the blue heavens seemed to span the dark world. She heard the song of the birds, and smelt the scent of the orange groves and apple orchards so strongly that she seemed to taste it. Soft tones and charming songs reached her ear, as well as harsh sounds and rough words – thoughts and opinions in strange contradiction to each other. Into the deepest recesses of her heart penetrated the echoes of human thoughts and feelings. Now she heard the following words sadly sung, –
"Life is a shadow that flits away
In a night of darkness and woe."
But then would follow brighter thoughts:
"Life has the rose's sweet perfume
With sunshine, light, and joy."
And if one stanza sounded painfully –
"Each mortal thinks of himself alone,
Is a truth, alas, too clearly known;"
Then, on the other hand, came the answer –
"Love, like a mighty flowing stream,
Fills every heart with its radiant gleam."
She heard, indeed, such words as these –
"In the pretty turmoil here below,
All is a vain and paltry show.
Then came also words of comfort –
"Great and good are the actions done
By many whose worth is never known."
And if sometimes the mocking strain reached her –
"Why not join in the jesting cry
That contemns all gifts from the throne on high?"
In the blind girl's heart a stronger voice repeated –
"To trust in thyself and God is best,
In His holy will forever to rest."
But the evil spirit could not see this and remain contented. He has more cleverness than ten thousand men, and he found means to compass his end. He betook himself to the marsh, and collected a few little bubbles of stagnant water. Then he uttered over them the echoes of lying words that they might become strong. He mixed up together songs of praise with lying epitaphs, as many as he could find, boiled them in tears shed by envy; put upon them rouge, which he had scraped from faded cheeks, and from these he produced a maiden, in form and appearance like the blind girl, the angel of completeness, as men called her. The evil one's plot was successful. The world knew not which was the true, and indeed how should the world know?
"To trust in thyself and God is best,
In his Holy will forever to rest."
So sung the blind girl in full faith. She had entrusted the four green leaves from the Tree of the Sun to the winds, as letters of greeting to her brothers, and she had full confidence that the leaves would reach them. She fully believed that the jewel which outshines all the glories of the world would yet be found, and that upon the forehead of humanity it would glitter even in the castle of her father. "Even in my father's house," she repeated. "Yes, the place in which this jewel is to be found is earth, and I shall bring more than the promise of it with me. I feel it glow and swell more and more in my closed hand. Every grain of truth which the keen wind carried up and whirled towards me I caught and treasured. I allowed it to be penetrated with the fragrance of the beautiful, of which there is so much in the world, even for the blind. I took the beatings of a heart engaged in a good action, and added them to my treasure. All that I can bring is but dust; still, it is a part of the jewel we seek, and there is plenty, my hand is quite full of it."
She soon found herself again at home; carried thither in a flight of thought, never having loosened her hold of the invisible thread fastened to her father's house. As she stretched out her hand to her father, the powers of evil dashed with the fury of a hurricane over the Tree of the Sun; a blast of wind rushed through the open doors, and into the sanctuary, where lay the Book of Truth.
"It will be blown to dust by the wind," said the father, as he seized the open hand she held towards him.
"No," she replied, with quiet confidence, "it is indestructible. I feel its beam warming my very soul."
Then her father observed that a dazzling flame gleamed from the white page on which the shining dust had passed from her hand. It was there to prove the certainty of eternal life, and on the book glowed one shining word, and only one, the word BELIEVE. And soon the four brothers were again with the father and daughter. When the green leaf from home fell on the bosom of each, a longing had seized them to return. They had arrived, accompanied by the birds of passage, the stag, the antelope, and all the creatures of the forest who wished to take part in their joy.
We have often seen, when a sunbeam burst through a crack in the door into a dusty room, how a whirling column of dust seems to circle round. But this was not poor, insignificant, common dust, which the blind girl had brought; even the rainbow's colors are dim when compared with the beauty which shone from the page on which it had fallen. The beaming word BELIEVE, from every grain of truth, had the brightness of the beautiful and the good, more bright than the mighty pillar of flame that led Moses and the children of Isræl to the land of Canaan, and from the word BELIEVE arose the bridge of hope, reaching even to the unmeasurable Love in the realms of the infinite.

Women Forego Childbirth Due to Recession
October 1, 2014
Fewer babies are born when the economy is in trouble, and a new study indicates that some women in their childbearing years during the United States' Great Recession will forego having babies at all.
Malcom Ritter for the Associated Press reports that 151,000 women who were in their early 20s during the start of the Great Recession (2008) will not give birth at all up to the age of 40. Together, that means that the United States will see 427,000 fewer children over 20 years.
The study was authored by Janet Currie, economist at Princeton University. And while 151,000 women ages 20 to 24 forgoing childbirth is a tiny proportion of the 9 million women within that age range, it shows the impact that the economy has on families. The study analyzed women up to age 40. While many held off on childbirth until poor economic times passed, it was women ages 20 to 24 who did not "catch-up" with later births and on whom a recession had a long-term impact. HealthDay reports that the 151,000 additional childless women would be an 8.9 percent increase in the number of women who never give birth.
Currie suggests two possibilities for the drop in births:
- Women in their early 20s may be deciding between marriage and families and careers, and the poor economy may cause them to hold off on plans for a family. By the time things improve, they may be at a different point in their lives.
- Men entering the workforce for the first time during a recession may experience lower earnings over the long-term, making them less attractive partners.
The recession and poor economy are the culprit behind the five-year drop in childbirth that the United States saw starting in 2007. It was not until last year that the decline in births stopped, moving slightly upward in 2013.

At the height of his wealth in 2008, India's so-called "King of the Good Times", Vijay Mallya, was liberal with his language when talking about his various business ventures, ranging from spirits to aviation and fertilisers.
The gold-clad billionaire described his now beleaguered airline, Kingfisher, as the "Harrods of the sky" and boasted to this newspaper how he picked his air hostesses himself for their "height" and "figure", among other attributes.
But when Mr Mallya greeted reporters in Bangalore on Tuesday at the annual meeting of United Spirits, the drinks company he chairs and controls, the usually verbose entrepreneur, known as India's answer to Sir Richard Branson, was curiously quiet.
Following months of rumours, Mr Mallya's United Breweries Holdings, which along with a subsidiary company owns 28pc of United Spirits, on Tuesday confirmed it was back in talks with Diageo about selling part of its stake.
It is the second time Diageo has taken aim at United Spirits, the leader in India's lucrative spirits market.
Mr Mallya, 56, first held talks with Diageo boss Paul Walsh back in 2008 but, after nine months of negotiations, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on price.
The rumour mill has been swelling around Diageo and United Spirits for several months as market watchers in India suggested Mr Mallya could cash in part of his holding to prop up his ailing Kingfisher airline.
On Friday, it emerged that renewed talks between Diageo and United Spirits, which owns Scotch whisky brands such as Whyte & Mackay and Jura, were reaching a more advanced stage.
Ahead of Tuesday's annual meeting, the two companies pushed out a carefully-worded statement confirming they were in talks about Diageo acquiring "an interest" in the Indian drinks group, which has about a 40pc share of the country's spirits market.
Diageo is understood to be eyeing a stake of up to 25pc in United Spirits, with a view to gaining strategic control.
About 15pc of that stake could come from United Breweries, with the additional 10pc coming from other shareholders, allowing Mr Mallya to retain a holding.
Diageo, which likes to take strategic control of companies it buys into, is believed to be pushing for a deal structure that would allow it to nominate the majority of United Spirits' board members – including, potentially, the chairman's role.
Both companies have been careful to stress that there is "no certainty" discussions will lead to a deal. But, for Diageo, the potential prizes on offer are vast.
India's middle class, which currently accounts for 13pc of the population, will boom over the next 15 years to more than 60pc, according to estimates. Analysts believe this will fuel further rapid expansion in India's branded spirits market, currently worth about £2.7bn.
High import duties of 150pc have so far hindered foreign drinks companies such as Diageo from rapidly expanding their brands in India. At present, Scotch whisky only accounts for about 1pc of the Indian spirits market, which is dominated by locally-produced whisky, rum and brandy.
Distribution has also been a major challenge for foreign drinks manufacturers, particularly as individual Indian states charge duties if alcohol is transported from one region to another.
In 2006, Diageo sought to overcome some of the distribution hurdles by forming a joint-venture with another leading player in the Indian drinks market, Radico Khaitan.
That partnership proved unsuccessful and was wrapped up last year as Diageo refocused efforts on improving its own individual routes to market. The FTSE 100 giant last year launched its own local brand in India, Rowson's Reserve, a blend of Indian whiskies and reserve Scotch. However, it is still heavily reliant on the duty free and import market.
Analysts pointed out that United Spirits is trading on a "fairly full" 2013 enterprise multiple of more than 15 times, so Diageo is unlikely to get a stake in United Spirits on the cheap.
A 25pc stake in United Spirits has been valued at $800m (£492m).
However, the distribution gains for Diageo will likely be invaluable as the Indian drinks market as a whole is expected to continue posting annual growth of 10pc over the next five years.
Scotch whisky producers are also hopeful that India's punishing regime of import duties could soon be broken down as trade talks between the Indian government and Europe progress.
A deal with United Spirits would give Diageo the ideal platform to take advantage of growth in foreign brands if and when the changes come in, analysts believe.
"What they [Diageo] will effectively be paying for is a platform for distribution infrastructure," said Phil Carroll, drinks analyst at Shore Capital. "The Indian market is quite complex with inter-state duty tariffs."
Pablo Zuanic at Liberum Capital said Diageo would "gain a sizeable footing in what one day should be the world's largest Scotch market".
Sources close to Diageo have pointed out the potential challenges of a deal for United Spirits, not least given Mr Mallya's reputation as a tough negotiator who will often speak to several parties at once.
Diageo would also almost certainly face regulatory hurdles in the UK, where it dominates about a third of the Scotch whisky market.
Nevertheless, Mr Walsh, who is tipped to retire in 2014, is inching ever closer to his long-held ambition to conquer India.

leanings, intelligence levels, life/goal aspirations, personal psychologiy, and socioeconomic levels influence family size?
It may be just a stereotype, but it seems that increased education levels are coupled with life/goal aspirations for increased socioeconomic levels and that generally means increased work loads for both parents which in turn means fewer children. Plus, of course, children are very expensive monetarily and that will negatively affect any aspiration for socioeconomic ladder climbing.
Intelligence can perhaps be very loosely associated with increased schooling (VERY loosely) and thus have a small effect as well because of that, but in general has little effect on family size.
I am unaware of any personal psychology generalization that can be made as to family size.
statistically, the more money you make, the less kids you have
there are plenty of studies that show that
why? i don't know.
I assume it has something to do with the parent's ability to delay gratification(in order to keep up thier life style,you would need to put your business first)
intelligence, you would know it's better and easier to take care of less children
Exactly, people who have small families tend to be more educated and intelligent. They know the importance of planning to have the amount of children they can support and provide for beyond the mere rudiments. Yes, such people have the intelligence to believe in delayed gratification; they know that if they cannot afford children, they wait until they can. People who have small families believe in financial planning for their children's futures. They also believe in investing for their children educationally, culturally, and economically. They want the better things of life for their children.
On the other hand, people who have have large families tend to be less educated. They also tend to be poorer socioeconomically. Studies have conclusively proven that there is a strict correlation between poverty and large families. With this combined influences of poverty and large families, children in such environments are disadvantaged from the start. Such children also tend to gravitate towards deleterious activities such as juvenile delinquency, gangs,etc.
As their parents are poorly educated, they also follow the familial pattern as far as education goes. People who have large families seem not to care about the welfare of their children. They have quite a lackadaisical attitude. They DON'T plan. If they cannot afford to support and provide for their children, so what? They do not care if their children grow up in poverty and want. All they are concerned about are having children without considering the psychological, sociocultural, and socioeconomic ramifications. Not intelligent whatsoever.
People from large families tend to be the least educated and socioeconomically poorer overall than those from small families who tend to be the most educated and the most affluent socioeconomically. Janesix, you have made some excellent points.
So have you.
And it's hard to break the cycle.
It IS. My maternal uncle, the second of ten children, had eight children. His children are the poorest and least educated. They also received outside help in order to live at a barely subsistent level. The only one who made something of herself was the youngest one. The children followed the familial pattern in having large families themselves. Very sad.
Disregarding those with very large families and extremely poor as a result, to the point of requiring welfare, can you explain why you consider it more "intelligent" to want 3 cars, a boat and an RV rather than an extra couple of children? Or what the level of education has to do with that choice?
We all want different things and spend our income on different wants. I fail to understand the connection to either intelligence OR education in that. It's almost like saying that the childless couple is smarter because they want the short term satisfaction of material possessions and social standing rather than a loving family that will last a lifetime.

Two immediate reactions came to mind from a New Orleans Saints perspective after Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a fractured collarbone on Monday night:
It could help the Saints' chances of earning a top-two seed in the NFC.
It was the latest reminder of how important it is for the Saints to keep quarterback Drew Brees healthy.
Not that the Saints needed that reminder. They're fully aware of how vital Brees is to their success. As offensive tackle Zach Strief said last week, "He's the focal point of our entire team."
The Saints' pass protection has been a huge point of emphasis in recent weeks. It hasn't been awful this season, but it has been far more inconsistent than in recent years -- especially up the middle. Brees has been sacked 20 times through eight games, and he just absorbed a handful of scary shots in this past Sunday's 26-20 loss to the New York Jets.
The Saints need to make Brees' security detail their top priority down the stretch -- especially with games against physical defenses such as San Francisco and Seattle still to come.
As long as Brees is on the field, the Saints (6-2) have a strong chance to contend for a No. 1 or No. 2 playoff seed. With Green Bay's loss on Monday, the Saints now are temporarily alone in second place in the NFC race.

Dear readers: Women who have taken certain forms of estrogen to minimize their symptoms following menopause may need regular medical followups to detect possible problems that could develop as a result.
A report in the Oct. 17, 1985, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine confirms there is a link between the use of post-menopausal estrogen and the development of endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus). In addition, the study suggests that this increased risk continues long after estrogen use is stopped.

Tipping in British hotels can be a grey area. Readers often complain that when they add a service charge to a credit or debit card at the end of a hotel stay – typically 10 to 12 per cent of the restaurant part of the bill – it's frequently unclear how the money is distributed.
They're right to be concerned. A proportion of the charge is usually retained as a ''handling cost'' for credit card and banking charges or payroll processing costs. And there's no legal requirement for the hotel to allocate a specific proportion of the remaining amount to the staff who've given the service.
According to Bob Cotton of the British Hospitality Association (BHA) which represents hotels, the reputation of the industry has been damaged by the confusion surrounding distribution of service charges. "We've had too little information in the past about the way the service charge is collected, what it is for and who receives it," he says.
Because of the lack of transparency, the (BHA) has now drawn up a new Code of Practice encouraging hotels and restaurants to let us know exactly what happens to their money. The idea is that customers will be able to ask how much is deducted for handling costs and how the rest is shared between the hotel and its staff. The BHA wants this information to be published on hotel websites.
This new code will be introduced in early October alongside new legislation which prevents gratuities being used to top up the money paid to waiting staff to meet the national minimum wage. But while this is good news for those of us who'd like more clarity about the hefty add-ons we pay, the bad news is it's a voluntary scheme, so there's no guarantee that every hotel will adopt
the idea.
The BHA concedes that it's going to take time to catch on because there are so many small hotels who don't follow the herd. "However, we don't want more regulations, so we are relying on public pressure to push the code forward," it says.
Why it should be up to consumers to police the new code – and to make sure that service charges are properly used for what they are intended for – I don't know. But, until hotels come clean about exactly where our money goes, the message is to ask how the service charge is handled when you're checking out of your hotel this autumn – and to expect an informed answer.

Councils pay £2.7milliom wages of union officials
TAXPAYERS forked out almost £2.7million in the last 12 months to pay council staff working on behalf of trade unions, new figures have revealed.
Local authority employees are either paid to carry out union activities or are "Pilgrims," doing union work on a full time basis, but paid for out of council budgets.
The system, known as "facility time," also operates in the NHS and other public sector areas.
The latest figures reveal more than 100 local authority employees worked on a full-time equivalent basis for unions, while being paid from the public purse in 2012/13, slightly up from the year before.
Since the SNP came to power in 2007, nearly £14m has been spent on the facility time arrangements.
Scotland's biggest council, Labour-run Glasgow, spent the most on subsidising union activities, with £350,000 set aside last year. Edinburgh spent £267,000.
Of those local authorities that responded to Freedom of Information requests, East Dunbartonshire, at £206,000, was third highest.
It comes at a time when councils are being tasked with keeping public spending under control. The term Pilgrim was coined after Jane Pilgrim came to public attention in 2011 after she criticised the UK government's health policies.
She was identified as a nurse on television news. But she was later revealed to be a full-time Unison official with a £40,000 salary paid by the NHS.
Last year's facility time total was down slightly on the £3m paid out in 2011/12.
We value the contribution unions make to harmonious industrial relations and there is a cost associated with this
Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson said: "This is an incredible amount at a time public bodies need to tighten their belts. Taxpayers would rather see this going into local services, not as a subsidy to unions who are already well funded by their members."
A Convention of Scottish Local Authorities spokesman said: "We value the contribution unions make to harmonious industrial relations and there is a cost associated with this.
"But it is one that is geared towards ensuring our services are tailored to the needs of communities and delivered in the best and most cost effective way by empowered and informed employees."

Alim Gasimov will give a concert in Iran's capital, Tehran, on March 9-10.
The mugham master will share the stage with Iranian singer Parvaz Homay. During the concert, the performers will sing a duet, Report.az informs.
One of the world's truly gifted singers, Alim discovered the world of mugham as a child, when he began singing for his own enjoyment. He grew up in the town of Shamakhi, 100 km northwest of Baku. "I had no idea that I would become a singer," he remembers.
Gasimov continues to play an important role in promotion of the Azerbaijani culture, especially mugham around the world.
He was awarded the International Music Council-UNESCO Music Prize, one of the highest international accolades for music in 1999. For that achievement, he was quoted by the New York Times as simply one of the greatest singers alive, with a searing spontaneity that conjures passion and devotion, contemplation and incantation.
Also known as an artist of supreme versatility, Gasimov has collaborated and performed with some of the world's leading musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Kronos Quartet and Jeff Buckley.
People's Artist of Azerbaijan Alim Gasimov was one of four Azerbaijanis among the 500 most influential Muslims in the world , chosen by competition , conducted by the Center for Strategic Studies and the famous American Georgetown University in Jordan.
Parvaz Homay is a vocalist of Mastan Ensemble, founded by him in 2005. His performances have been held at notable and sizable venues across the globe, including but not limited to Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall, the Lincoln Center in New York, Strathmore Hall in the Washington D.C. area, and Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto, Canada.

Very nice reel
Overall, this reel feels very solid. I caught a few large amberjack with a torque 20 mounted on a star plasma jigging rod and 80lb braid. The drag was very smooth even with substantial pressure applied. Penn and Tackle direct both understate the inches per crank number on the site and box. It's really in the high 30's to 40" per crank which works great for jigging. I have not tried the versa gear yet but I intend to the next time I bottom fish in water less than 200'. I'm curious to see if a lower ratio will help alleviate my one complaint with this reel. I have found that most reels with an offset gearbox tend to make the rod roll in your hand while reeling under strain and this one does as well. I strongly recommend either wearing a glove on your rod hand or using a gimbal belt with this reel to minimize the roll and minimize the amount of fighting you have to do with the rod while fighting a larger fish.
ProsStrength, smooth drag, retrieve speed
ConsTends to roll the rod under strain

As LighterLife's Head of Nutrition and Research, I'm always asked if you'll be hungry on our VLCD. So, I'm here to share my expertise and fill you in on the real facts behind LighterLife…
Our bodies are amazing
Everyone assumes that once you start the LighterLife programme you'll be really hungry as you're reducing your intake in order to lose weight. But our bodies do an amazing thing, they realize that you're not providing the body with food the way you usually do, so it starts using your stored fat for energy and this process simply stops you being hungry.
Think about the bigger picture
By letting LighterLife take care of what you're eating, you can really get stuck into learning about your eating habits and the psychology behind your actions. You can't change your routine until you know what the real problem is, our group sessions will help you re-educate your body and brain about how and why you'll be eating in the future.
Don't let the initial worry of being hungry stop you from transforming your life and getting into shape because now you know you won't even feel hungry; it's all in your mind.

While the world awaits the arrival of the ZenFone 3, in Vietnam, two new ASUS budget phones were made official as the company continues its 2016 makeover of popular smartphone spin-offs.
The ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max join the ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Ultra, and ZenFone 3 Deluxe announced in its native Taiwan last May 2016.
And just like their higher-end cousins, the 2016 Laser and Max feature polished metal unibody designs that look identical and feel better in the hand—not to mention they're thinner and lighter than their predecessors'. It's obvious they share the same DNA, but there are different selling points for each phone: a more capable camera for the Laser; a long-lasting battery for the Max.
The designs don't match the premium aesthetic of the other ZenFone 3 models—we're not entirely convinced the cases are entirely made of metal—but that can be forgiven.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow is the platform of choice for these latest ZenFones, and this time around, the software nuances that layer the interface are prettier and less intrusive and don't seem to impact responsiveness too much. Of course, they come with (mostly) upgraded internals as well, which is expected of smartphone successors.
The one thing you won't find on most budget phones, however, is a fingerprint scanner present on the back of both devices. It's fast and reliable, though it bears noting the Laser unlocks faster. Neither is as good as the one on the ZenFone 3 or ZenFone 3 Deluxe. For what it's worth, the scanner on the Laser is oblong in shape; the Max's has a squarish design with rounded edges.
Of the two, the ZenFone 3 Laser takes photography more seriously, with a camera bump to show for it. The device sports a 13-megpixel rear camera that takes better photos than the 13-megapixel shooter on the Max, and works well enough to allow for some background blur. There's also an improved laser autofocus system around the back (which the Max doesn't have) for quick, crisp shooting.
A 5.5-inch, full-resolution display with curved corners dominates the front of the device, while an octa-core Qualcomm 430 chip backed by 4GB of RAM powers the entire assembly.
The ZenFone 3 Max, meanwhile, is better equipped to handle the rigors of daily use, with its moderately sized 5.2-inch display and 4,100mAh battery and ability to charge other phones or devices.
But although the high-capacity cell is something all road warriors will appreciate, we can't help but question ASUS' choice to include a smaller battery than that of the original Max. We suppose a compromise had to be made to come up with a sleeker phone, but time will tell if consumers embrace the decision. Nevertheless, the 3GB of RAM inside the new Max should be plenty for multitasking.
Anyway, you get the idea. Different phones for different types of users—ASUS followed the same formula last year to great success. The company shipped 20.5 million ZenFones in 2015; this year, it has set a grander goal: 25 million units sold globally.
The ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max are priced at 5,990,000 (around $270) and 4,490,000 ($200) Vietnamese dong, respectively. They'll soon be available in Vietnam, and a wider rollout is expected in the future. The Philippines might see them hit stores in August at the earliest; India and the rest of the world might have to wait until the third quarter of 2016.
