Subrata Roy Paid Rs 1.23 Crore For Facilities In Special Cell In Tihar Jail
New Delhi: Dec.7: Sahara Group chief Subrata Roy has handed over Rs 1.23 crore to Tihar jail authorities for all the special privileges he enjoyed for the past one year in a special cell. This whooping amount will take care of 200 inmates for a year, authorities said.
According to report, Tihar Jail authorities have received Rs 1,23,70,000 from Sahara Group for using the conference room. The payment includes charges for security, electricity, maintenance, rent and other facilities like food and water. The group is yet to submit Rs 7.5 lakh rupees more.
Sources said Roy was first moved to the special unit on August 5 for 10 days. During these 10 days, the court allowed him to use special services like WiFi and video-conferencing to hold meetings with potential buyers.
"Functioning from the fully air-conditioned room, Roy was also allowed two laptops, two desktops, landline phones and a cellphone. For these facilities, the Sahara Group will pay directly to the service providers. Roy's stenographer and other assistants were also allowed to help him during the permitted time slot from 6am to 8pm," a top official said.
The regular visitors' list included his son and a few company directors. All the meetings were recorded by CCTV cameras. Roy was sent back to normal cell on Nov 12 after which all his special services stand terminated as per court's order, the official said.

I have children and everyone of them went through the stage of always wanting their hands in the water! I have had Doctor's tell me that it is a very bad thing to allow your children to compulsively wash their hands do you feel that is true or not? My feelings were always as long as they are inspired to keep clean than it was not going to hurt them and if their little hands were getting dry we would put lotion on them! As a parent what do you think!
As long as they wash before meals, after using the toilet (and that might be numerous times), and obviously, after playing outdoors and getting dirty, I don't think kids can wash their hands too much. Probably it is more the other way around. I taught my kids to wash their hands while singing "Happy Birthday to you," as a means of making sure they were spending sufficient time lathering the soap too!
It is possible to wash hands too much. You will notice the skin drying out on their hands. I am a compulsive hand washer, and my hands look like an 80 year old woman's. If your children like to wash their hands alot, make sure you have moisturizing hand wash.
Wow Davina it is hard to imagine that your hands are like a prune, ROFL.
It's true. I have to over moisturize or they crack and bleed. So, I know, first hand, you can wash your hands too much.
It could actually be the type of soap you use that is the culprit. Or you could have a skin condition known that needs dermatologist attention
You are probably right. I have contact dermatitis, but it has never shown up on my hands until about 4 months ago. I have tried different soaps and moisturizers, but nothing works. I wash my hands like 20+ times a day, though. I can't help it. I do it out of habit.
I had a similar condition on my hands and found out it was a stress-related condition. I had to use a strong steroid cream, along with a heavy duty moisture cream and wear cotton gloves. It took quite a while to clear it up and it prone to flair-ups when my hands were unprotected in water.
just stop it
I am serious. I am scaling down on my soap usage significantly, and seeing my skin improving along the way
My 2 year old daughter throws a fit if you take her from the sink after washing her hands! She could stay there for an hour if we let her!!
People overuse anti-bacterial and otherwise chemicalized soaps. They ruin the skin's own protective and nurturing bacteria and strip off too many oils.
BTW, in answer to the OP's question, yes, you can wash your hands too much. It's one of the main symptoms of the more debilitating levels of obsessive compulsive disorder. The person will wash their hands so much, they can't function in their daily lives and their hands become physically damaged by it.
With children, I'd pay more attention to whether or not it seemed like behavior associated with OCD than to how much their hands were in water or even how much soap they used. Water alone doesn't usually do much (unless it's cold out or unless someone uses a scratchy towel to dry their hands). Soap can be changed.
I'd look up a reputable source that describes Obsessive Compulsive Behavior (particularly handwashing) and judge from there whether I thought my child was leaning in that direction. What would be considered "normal" can depend on the child's age too. That's something else I'd factor in.
No, its a good habit to get into. Its so easy to pick up germs.

Too often people think that the only job in event planning is the role of event planner. It's much more important to realize the scope of this industry, and the millions of jobs that actually exist.

Consider this: Other than their creative thinking skills, most people who work in events management have strong organizational skills. That's because they are expected to juggle a full range of logistics to execute various programs.

Also, think that event planners spend their time organizing only a few major events? Think again. Many event planners are responsible for organizing anywhere from 35 to 150 events and programs each year.

Think they're the only ones involved in planning and executing these events? And that's why this industry offers a full range of opportunities for anyone who wants to find their first event planning job that could ultimately become an entire career.

Corporate Event Jobs

For those who have strong organizational and office skills, the truth is that administrative assistants and office managers are organizing a full range of events in the corporate world. Perhaps it's as simple as organizing and scheduling department meetings each week, but that's exactly what event planners do.

And the path can easily continue from there. Marketing departments often organize client events and sales meetings. Human Resources departments may be in charge of the company picnic or holiday party. Procurement departments get involved in establishing contracts with outside vendors, such as airlines and hotels, and they may be involved in planning and executing many corporate events.

The point is that event activities are part of many corporate positions, and it simply requires some creative thinking to discover those positions. The titles of those who organize events in corporate positions are about as varied as the roles that exist.

Find corporate event jobs by checking out the job board at Meeting Professionals International.

Association Event Jobs

Just like their corporate counterparts, individuals who work in associations will organize a full range of meetings and events. There are the obvious meeting planning jobs, but there are many other less obvious positions at associations that still require similar responsibilities.

Many associations typically hold a range of educational programs throughout the year, and that's exactly what event planners do. If you check out most association websites, you'll find that they are holding webinars, regional meeting, annual conventions, and more.

Those who want to find event jobs in an association environment simply need to consider the various departments that get involved in any aspect of these programs. Find the job that fits your interest and grow from there.

Find association event jobs by checking out the Association Forum or Professional Convention Management Association.

Nonprofit Event Jobs

Nonprofits are similar to the association environment in that their focus is often to organize a range of community educational programs and activities related to the cause and its mission.

However, a good piece of advice for anyone interested in pursuing any career in a nonprofit environment is that it's important to choose a cause where you have a personal stake. Many people seek jobs in a nonprofit environment because they think that the position will be stable and safe from the economy's impact. This simply is no longer true.

The good news is that many leaders in nonprofits still want to have a team that cares about the cause. They are able to sense who is sincere, and who is looking for short-term experience.

Find nonprofit event jobs by checking out NPO.net.

Government Event Jobs

Government event jobs are a breed unto themselves. While there's probably a good reason to be skeptical about whether some folks get these positions as a result of political connections, the reality is that the work is such that most cities and local governments really do need professional event planners in these roles.

Common programs organized by special events departments in cities include community festivals throughout the year. But there are many other positions to consider. For example, many government agencies hold annual conferences and events within their agencies, and this work needs to fall upon professional event organizers.

Learn more about government event jobs from the Society of Government Meeting Professionals.

Event Jobs in Hotels

Those who organize events on behalf of their organizations are typically viewed as the "buyer" side of the industry. The supplier side offers many more opportunities for event planning jobs. And the sheer volume of hotels out there means that there are many job opportunities in the convention sales and catering arena.

Event jobs in hotels do have a demanding schedule. That is, event and meeting space is frequently busy during the weekdays with seminars and conferences; evenings may be used for more formal business events or fundraisers and weekends are committed to social events such as weddings throughout the year. This is fantastic experience for anyone who's searching for an event job.

Event Jobs in Restaurants

Just like their hotel counterparts, restaurants have private function space and event and catering managers are responsible for overseeing those programs. Actually, restaurants are probably the most popular offsite venue for hosting a variety of corporate and social events.

Event Jobs at Other Event Venues

As you begin to consider the various places where events are held, let your imagination run wild. Your first thought will probably lead you to convention centers, but more creative thinking should point you toward museums, art galleries, historical venues, shopping centers, amusement venues, sporting venues, race tracks, and so on. If you think a group event is organized there, chances are there's a position involved in managing corporate and social events.

Event Jobs with Event Services

Next, imagine the range of businesses that play some sort of role in planning or executing corporate and social events. Just begin to consider a little brainstorming and you'll think about businesses such as party rentals, tents, florals, staging, security, transportation, photography, catering and more. Each of these employers will have a need for someone who offers strong selling and account management skills with their event clients.

Search the Event Job Boards

It's important to have at least an appreciation for all of the various people who are involved in planning and executing event programs before beginning any job search in this industry. The larger your perspective about event jobs, the greater the number of possibilities that will present themselves to you.

Thanks for adding in about possibly needing to take both sides off. With my case you can get at the opticals with one side off, but working on SSD or HDDs requires removing both sides.
Sometimes I think helping someone tear into their computer for the first time might be the wrong thing to do. I remember years ago after I'd removed a CD player only, and installed a burner. Hmm, that's easy...what else can I do? Oh yeah, spend more money.

Well I beg to differ WW mate tearing into is not the way I would describe it. I simply explained the different ways of removing a drive beit optical or hard drive.
Your description implies that one just rips the sides off when you would know it is usually undoing four small screws and sliding the sides backwards to remove them and in my main desktop a latch that is undone and the side drops down and off after disconnecting the side fans cables it exposes the fixations of the other internal parts.
I did make reference too about the tool less fixers and I think there is little left to say.
Now I think I had better leave this thread at this point because I feel anything I advise is not going to be right.
Sorry Binker Nate and I wish that all goes well.

ICit2lol, the second paragraph in my last post was only a joke, hence the wink icon. I was referring to that once you start upgrading it may lead one to also build custom computers, and so it goes, adding up over the years to a lot of money; at least for many that is how it goes. Not that the building can't be fun though.
I have a bit of a dry sense of humour so the joke bombed.

Samsung Electronics made a record $5.2 billion profit in the first quarter, overhauling Nokia as the world's top mobile phone seller, and its Galaxy smartphones outstripped Apple's iPhone at the high end of the market.
The South Korean group's handset division shifted more than 20,000 Galaxy phones an hour in the quarter and contributed most of its operating profit. That company's shares hit a lifetime high after the results, pushing its market value to $190 billion, 11 times that of Japanese rival Sony, though still only a third of Apple's, the world's most valuable company.
Samsung sold 93.5 million handsets in the quarter, more than one in every four sold, according to Strategy Analytics, toppling Nokia from the top spot after 14 years. The total included 44.5 million smartphones, giving Samsung a 30.6 percent share of the high-end market. Apple's sales of 35.1 million iPhones gave it a 24.1 percent share.
"Samsung and Apple are out-competing most major rivals, and the smartphone market is at risk of becoming a two-horse race," said Neil Mawston, an analyst at Strategy Analytics. CLSA analyst Matt Evans said in a recent report that "Samsung's smartphone success in the first quarter was the flip-side of Nokia's disappointment." Nokia, which had long been the leader in the smartphone segment until last year, has suffered a sharp decline in sales since it abandoned its own smartphone operating system and switched to the largely untried Windows Phone. It managed to sell only 12 million smartphones in the first quarter.
The near duopoly in high-end smartphones is unlikely to come under much threat this year or next, according to Bernstein analysts, and Samsung will look to keep that momentum going next week with the launch in London of a third generation of Galaxy S, hoping to boost sales ahead of the summer Olympics, where the group is among the leading sponsors. "The Galaxy S 3's specifications are expected to be sensational, and it's already drawing strong interest from the market and consumers," said Brian Park, an analyst at Tong Yang Securities. The new Galaxy will be powered by Samsung's quad-core microprocessor, which the company hopes to see used in handsets sold by Nokia, HTC and Motorola, as well as Apple, its biggest customer for components.
"We anticipate very strong demand for the Galaxy S 3," Robert Yi, Samsung's senior vice president and head of investor relations, told analysts. "When there's strong demand in the market, we don't necessarily need to spend a lot of marketing dollars to promote sales."
While Apple said this week that iPhone 4S sales boosted its quarterly revenue in China five-fold, there are more Samsung handsets than Apple phones in the world's biggest mobile market. Samsung said it increased its China smartphone market share to just above its global average, suggesting it took more than 30 percent share of a market where, unlike Apple, it already has deals with all three big telecoms operators.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Burbish family once lived in Derbyshire, and held a family seat at the village of Burbage. There is also a Burbage Brook in Padley Gorge, Derbyshire. The surname is derived from the Old English form of Burbage on the Wye, which means someone who lived at the brook or valley of the burg. Burbage is a parish in Leicestershire and a village and civil parish in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, but it is the Derbyshire village that the surname originates.
Burbish Early Origins
Derbyshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Burbish Spelling Variations
Burbish Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Burbish family name include Burbage, Burbidge, Burbyche, Burbridge and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Burbish surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Thomas Burbage who settled in Virginia in 1642; Thomas Burbadge settled in Virginia in 1653; Elizabeth Burbridge settled in New England in 1775; Thomas Burbridge her husband also settled in New England in the same year.

Congenital hemangiomas (CH) are rare, benign vascular tumors that, unlike infantile hemangiomas (IH), are present and fully grown at birth. They present as bossed plaques or exophytic masses located on the head, neck, or limbs (picture 1A-B). Based upon their natural history, two major subtypes of CH have been recognized: rapidly involuting congenital hemangiomas (RICH) and noninvoluting congenital hemangiomas (NICH) [1,2]. In most cases, RICH involute completely by the age of 14 months, whereas NICH never regress but grow in proportion with the child and may require eventual excision. A third intermediate subtype, the so-called partially involuting congenital hemangioma (PICH), shows overlapping features of RICH and NICH [3].
CH will be discussed in this topic. IH and other vascular tumors of childhood and capillary malformations are discussed separately.

Obama Signs Bill Delaying DTV Transition
President Obama officially delays DTV transition by about four months to June 12.
President Barack Obama has signed the DTV-delay bill prolonging the DTV transition by about four months from Feb. 17 to June 12.
Obama initially called for the delay of the transition, saying too many Americans were unprepared. Congress passed the bill last week to extend the date that will end analog broadcasts.
Here's Obama's statement:
"During these challenging economic times, the needs of American consumers are a top priority of my administration.
This law, which was crafted in a bipartisan way and passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, ensures that our citizens will have more time to prepare for the conversion."
Despite having the extra time to prepare, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reports that 681 stations want to honor the original Feb. 17 deadline. The FCC released this list of 491 stations (pdf) that want to make the transition on Feb. 17. Another 190 stations have already switched or will do so on Feb. 17.

Contestant Billy Gilman has earned his coveted finalist position on the competition show The Voice, competing alongside talented vocalists Wé McDonald and Sundance Head. Gilman has continued to return to the show strong with an arsenal of impressive vocal capabilities and an endless array of flirtatious smiles.
Contestants were recently given the opportunity to produce an original music video for a song that was gifted directly to each individual, allowing finalists to be creative and truly attempt to snag their fans by the heart. Gilman performed a song titled "Because Of Me", a heartwarming ballad directed to a significant other he loves as he pleas with them to be the only reason for any emotion they feel. He sings, "I don't want you to smile or shed a tear / Ever hear you say 'love' unless it's in my ear/ I don't want you to dance or have your heart miss a beat / I don't want you to feel unless it's because of me."
The video is shot in a quaint apartment complete with very natural decor and the adorable factor of a playful pup that is anything but unnoticeable! Gilman's locations vary from the interior apartment setting to the rooftop of a building, increasing his passionate delivery as his lyrics further into the song. The singer's emotion is not only apparent throughout his performance, but strikes his viewers deep into their hearts as they sympathize with his pleas.
Listen to Gilman's debut below and tell us what you though!

Chilly's fish banked at 48lb
When the grapevine buzzed with news that Chillham Mill was fishing well, Keiron Hearn knew he had to get down there.
And the Sevenoaks rod was rewarded with two thirties, a twenty and this mirror, known as Chilly's Fish, at a top weight of 48lb.
It was the second time Keiron had caught the fish at the Kent venue, though this time it was more than 5lb heavier.
He said: "I was working Sunday when I heard from a friend and great angler that he was on his sixth 30lb fish since Thursday, so I downed tools, packed the van and got down there thinking the big ones were on the feed before they spawned.
"That night I caught a 30lb 14oz mirror, a 30lb 9oz mirror and a 28lb 4oz common, then Chilly's Fish at 48lb at 9am. I caught this fish back in August 2012 at 42lb 10oz, so it was great to see her again."
Keiron fished tight to an island at 70 yards and presented a Mainline Cell dumbbell bottom bait in a Response Pellet PVA stick over a small bed of Cell boilies and Response Pellets. His rigs were short lengths of braid with size 6 wide-gape hooks.

Back in October, I started what I thought was the best idea EVER: To share my Instagram pictures a couple of times a month since I can't seem to find time to write! I decided to call it My Life In Pictures. You can see all of my previous posts here.
We were so busy in the month of May! The kids were finishing up school and there was all kinds of activities going on. I volunteered at the school a lot, leaving me less time to blog. So instead of giving you just a couple of weeks of what I've been up to, here's what I was up to during the month of May.
It was a dreary day, and so we decided to make a big pot of my yummy albondigas soup. Lila asked if she could help me make the meatballs.
She's really my best little helper. She loves to cook (she made me breakfast in bed on Mother's Day!), she loves to "babysit" her cousin, and anytime I water plants she takes over and tells me to just sit and relax.
We decided to start taking family walks in the evening. I told the kids that if they'd like, we can walk in the morning too! I signed the kids up for Club 262 through the 100 Mile Club. It's basically a virtual challenge to challenge kids, their friends and their entire family to run or walk a total of 26.2 miles from June 1 to July 31.
Ethan's usually the one in charge, but this time Mia got him. He wasn't happy about it!
I had a girls night out with some of my favorite friends! We went to Stone Church Brewing, with a German style beer hall vibe. It was a blast and I can't wait to get out with these ladies again soon!
Mia hijacked my iPad. There had to be at least a hundred pictures like these.
Have you heard of the Sky Map app? All you have to do is point your phone or iPad at the sky and the Sky Map will tell you exactly what you are looking at. It works during the day and night. You can see constellations, stars, and planets. It's very cool and the kids are hooked!
Ethan's class made astronaut helmets out of paper maiche (that was a very messy project, indeed)!
While he didn't start until the middle of the year, he got 101 miles with his school's 100 Mile Club!
There's so many more memories that we made in May. You can check them all out on my Instagram!

White City Fire Department
The Fire Department consists of volunteer First Responders and Firefighters. The First Responders respond to emergency medical incidents. A call to 9-1-1 will dispatch the First Responders and an ambulance. The First Responders will likely arrive at the incident before the ambulance. They are trained and equipped to deal with medical emergencies until the ambulance attendants arrive. First Responders are recertified regularly.
Firefighters respond to fire and other emergencies. They are also dispatched from a 9-1-1 call. Training is continuous throughout the year and consists of classroom training as well as practical. Training is credited towards certification as Level 2 Firefighter. Firefighting equipment is kept up to date and is checked on a regular basis to be safe and operational. Assistance is available from neighboring Fire Departments when required.
The Fire Department is a committed group who give their time when called as well as for continued training to maintain and improve skills. They are on call 24 hours per day. Volunteers are not always available during an emergency so we need as many volunteers as possible. You may have the skills to contribute to the Fire Department. For more information call 306-781-1940 or email email@example.com – White City Fire Department.

Udupi: Pavana (name changed), aged 18, hailing from Durganagar in Indrali under Shivalli panchayat, has filed a complaint at the town police station here regarding a physical assault on her.
She has stated that she had been in love with one Clinton of Gundibail near here for the past four years.
As there was no contact with him for some time and after coming to know that he was currently somewhere in Mumbai, she arrived at his house at Gundibail. As she was asking his mother for his contact number, his aunt is said to have rushed from inside and abused her.
She also allegedly beat her up with a stick and pushed her out of the compound. The police have registered a case.

Professionally filmed video footage of METALLICA performing the song "Atlas, Rise!" on June 11 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas can be seen below.The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame band is touring in support of its tenth studio album, "Hardwired... To Self-Destruct", which features the current single "Now That We're Dead". The North American leg of METALLICA's "WorldWired" trek will hit stadiums in eighteen more cities before ending in mid-August. METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone that the band was genuinely surprised to learn they could still play stadiums, saying, "It was like, 'Holy fuck, people really still care about this band in ways that you stopped taking for granted literally decades ago. It was very inspiring and kind of eye-opening." He added: "Full stadium runs can sometimes be a little intimidating. There's all these things to worry about like, 'You should really try to play maybe only on the weekend,' and, 'Where do you play on Tuesday?' and some of those practicalities can get a little bewildering. We just threw caution to the wind. Doing a stadium run seemed like the perfect thing on the back of how well this record has been received and all the good will that's out there in METALLICA's world right now." The next stop on the tour is San Antonio, Texas on June 14. Support on the quartet's first North American trek since 2009 is coming mainly from AVENGED SEVENFOLD and VOLBEAT, with GOJIRA taking over for the latter group for the last six shows. "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct" was certified platinum on April 12 by the RIAA (Recording Association Of America). The platinum certification reflects a million equivalent album units, which blends traditional album sales, tracks sold from an album and on-demand audio and video streams. The recent gain in "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct" sales is owed mostly to a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion with the band's stadium tour that went on sale on February 17. Redemptions of albums included with the purchase of a concert ticket register as a sale in the week the customer redeems/receives the album.

whoa I love feedback! Thanks to everyone
I should tell you a secret: I never used one of my soaps myself xD I bet I would feel terrible I use store bought cream soap - shame on me!
Hmm I already thought about opening a shop on etsy or dawanda (german equivalent), but I'm not sure. I knit a bit, I crochet a bit, I scrapbook, make some cards, paint, sew a bit, make soaps, knead things from poly clay... I can do a bit of everything, but nothing so very good, that is why I never really opened a shop. But I'm glad to hear some of you would buy my soap! That makes me happy =) Perhaps I should give it a try!

With all the badges - I have to demonstrate the proficiency of my skills. I am glad to have been cooking my own meals since I was 6, because it made this badge easier. Knowing that I had cooked, I was able to do many of the requirements quickly.
However I learned how to do a few things I had never done before. Like how to poach an egg.
I used the whirlpool method that I found online -- What you want is a "pot" with water (excluding 1 inch from the top) with two teaspoons of Kocher salt and ¼ of white vinegar, let the water simmer on medium heat. While the water is heating, crack your egg in a ceramic small bowl. Once the water is finished, take the handle of a spoon or spatula and create a whirlpool. Then, in the middle of the whirlpool drop in the egg. Put a lid on the pot and let it sit for 3 minutes - depending on how firm. Then after about three, get a holed spoon, take it out and eat it. If you don't want to at the time, put it on ice and you can keep it in the fridge for up to eight hours, then you can heat it up in some hot water.
I enjoyed learning new things, after taking cooking classes since I was seven or eight, I couldn't believe I hadn't ever done this before. Since I don't like eggs -- my mom ate it -- and my sister wanted me to make her one next. So it looks like I'll be cooking these more than just a couple of times.

Electronic tags for eggs, sperm and embryos
IN 2002, two proud and relieved parents, Mr and Mrs A, saw their newborn twins for the first time, conceived after a long and difficult course of IVF treatment. At last it all seemed worthwhile. Except the babies were of mixed race, while both parents were white.
The IVF clinic had blundered, and used the wrong sperm to fertilise Mrs A's eggs. The child's biological father was Mr B, a man the couple had never met and who with his partner was also trying for a family using IVF. Similar accidents have happened in the US and the Netherlands.
Now, in a bid to stop such mistakes happening again, the UK's regulatory body, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) is considering labelling all embryos, eggs and sperm with barcodes or electronic ID tags. The idea, discussed at the HFEA's annual conference in London last month, is that an alarm
