Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
I love this new single by Lana Del Rey. The lyrics not so much. The song is generating controversy for lyrics that some feels condone domestic violence. I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence The song references the Crystals' controversial 1962 song He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss). The Crystals song was also accused of condoning domestic violence. Del Rey is generating controversy on purpose. She markets in disturbing imagery in her lyrics and video. It is what makes her music simultaneously fascinating and frustrating.

text: An Australian woman spends several harrowing months with desert nomads in the Indian desert, witnessing one of that land's last great pastoral migrations. Davidson (Tracks, 1981) writes in a tradition of self-consciously female Western travel writers like Mary Kingsley. A travel writer in an exotic locale is out of place; a woman is doubly out of place. Davidson plays on that incongruity with a strong sense of the ridiculous, particularly with respect to herself. She consistently concedes the point the Rabari, sheep- and camel-herding nomads, make when they ask why any sane person would wish to join in their stubborn wanderings in the deserts of northwest India. In Davidson's account, their lives are almost unbelievably difficult. But she also makes it clear that she is not an easy person to travel with, particularly since she has not taken the trouble to learn the language of her hosts. Davidson's ability to question her own motives and her right to impose on these nomads allows her to transcend the mundane professional limits of her job, with its book and magazine contracts and the demand for exotic photographs. Addressing a Western audience prepared to listen patiently to any colorful tale of a dying way of life, she often falls back into the Westerner's orientalist vision of the timeless East struggling under the burden of centuries of tradition. But the sheer hardship she encounters often overrides such musings, producing a fresh, frank appraisal of the ingenuity and tough determination of the Rabari, free of condescension, and giving her the opportunity to offer an unadorned account of her own mixed emotions as they sway from disgust with life in India to deep admiration for Indians. Davidson's conventional attempts to generalize about an abstraction called India are much less interesting than her well-told encounters with fascinating, lovable, resourceful people.

Notes on daily life:
By Tom reports from Amundsen Scott South Pole Station:
For the past few days, Dan and I have been keeping a low profile here at the South Pole Station. We arrived just in time for lunch on Wednesday, 19 Nov. Because of the large elevation difference between McMurdo and the South Pole, it is important to take it easy for the first few days after arriving at Pole. McMurdo station is essentially at sea level, while South Pole station is at about 9,300 feet above sea level. The rapid change in elevation leaves you out of breath, and prone to dehydration and headaches. Some of these symptoms can be alleviated by drinking plenty of fluids and resting whenever possible. After a few days, your body gets used to the higher elevation and you can function more or les normally.
However, it is hard to stay cooped up in your bunk after arriving at a new place. So Dan and I spent some time the first two days wandering around the station, and trying to avoid too many flights of stairs. We got an impromptu tour of the old station from Victor Scott, one of the folks who works in the communications building. We also visited the geographic pole marker and the ceremonial pole marker.
The South Pole station has two main components: the old station, which is underneath the familiar geodesic dome, and the new station, which is up on stilts above the snow surface. In addition there are several outbuildings downwind of the station for working and sleeping. The new station houses the galley and two levels of rooms for sleeping. Dan and I were lucky enough to be assigned one of the new rooms. We have a nice view of the old dome out of our windows. The old station houses the communications building, medical facilities, store and post office, among other things. It is a short walk between the old and new station via a connecting tunnel. The new station is still under construction, and won't be completed for a few more years.
Our traverse vehicles are parked in the cargo yard, near some of the outbuildings. Dan and I visited the kitchen and blue room modules yesterday, which have recently been thoroughly cleaned by Andrea and John. I was surprised to se how much space there was in the blue room, but bear in mind that both of the rooms are still pretty empty. They seem much smaller when full of people and gear. James and Lynn have been working hard on getting our tractors up and running after being parked for the winter, and Matthew has been busy repairing our sleds for the upcoming traverse. After the sleds have been reassembled, we will begin packing our food, tools, fuel and science equipment for the traverse. Our current ETD looks like on or about 27 Nov. It will certainly be a busy couple of days, but all of us are eager to be underway.

WINNIPEG – The man found dead in a North End home following a standoff with Winnipeg police was Andrew Baryluk, 52, police say.
Police went to Baryluk's home on Stella Avenue at about 10:45 a.m. Wednesday after receiving a call about a distraught man.
READ MORE: Police exchange gunfire with man in North End standoff
Police knew before they arrived that he might have a gun and that he'd threatened to harm himself, they said.
Several police units responded and secured the area, including evacuating some nearby homes.
Police contacted Baryluk and spoke with him, but negotiations broke down and shortly after 8:20 p.m., shots were fired from within the residence, police said in a news release. Police returned fire, they said.
The tactical support team entered the home at about 3 a.m. and found Baryluk's body inside, police said.
No officers were injured in the standoff.
Power was turned off in the area for a while on Wednesday but restored at about 10:30 p.m. Residents said they received little information from police, including when those who had to leave their homes would be allowed to return.
The homicide unit is investigating.

I am tossing up between either buying the Convoy L6 or making my own 4 × 100w water cooled torch similar to half of this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vgNh3fLxJc, I am after something that is more functional and has a reasonable form factor hence only contemplating 4 × 100w as opposed to his 8, my main issue with his design however, is the all or nothing nature really limits the ability to use it. I am planning on using 18v batteries that I already have for my cordless tools, so I wouldn't have to buy new ones and were going to use the same driver set-up as here https://youtu.be/kh9j5mDU_hA?t=3m30s so that I could use it at a lower output, the idea of four big knobs for the differant potentiometers isnt really an ideal outcome though. So hence my question, would there be a better way of controlling the output without having to use 4 big knobs to control it.
100w LED drivers/dimmers
L6 seems more user friendly, but the mu!tiple 100 watt with h2o cooling would satisfy the tinkerer within some of us.

L6 seems more user friendly, but the mu!tiple 100 watt with h2o cooling would satisfy the tinkerer within some of us.
Yeah pretty much my dilemma, at the moment the L6 is looking much easier and it look's like a great torch but if I can get satisfactory control for the 100w LED's I think that might edge back in front, I would love to house it all in a dolphin torch, it would need to be heavily modified to make it work but would almost be the torch equivalent of a sleeper (car). Part of me also knows that if I go the L6 I'll still want to have a go at the 100w LED's as well.
These look promising, at only 5mm wide each I could mount them all next to each other and join the sliders so they all operated as one.
Neat project on the watercooled 100W. DIYer in me has wanted to do it but I have no practical use for it. I have messed with Flood lights that use these type of flat LEDs. Made a few shop lights that use either 12V or AC laptop adapters I have laying around. One thing I have wanted to do is a 30W Li-Ion powered rechargeable portable shop light using an adjustable boost and current as the second vid but the efficiency of the boost converter is key. Thats where I kinda strayed off the project.
Well, it has taken me 2 years to make it happen but have pretty much got there, still waiting for some glue to glut to dry for it to be fully operational but all looks to work well.
You are one crazy son of a gun tryagain. Love the torch. I would love to have seen a build thread on this one.

Thanks, it took long enough without doing a build thread as well, but plan on doing a vid running through what I did in the next week or so.
Oh so awesome! Love it. On the inside, it looks like a marriage of organic and mechanical/technology. It's cyborgy looking. Congrats on the completion of your long-term project man!

The Kimberly Dynamiters defeated the league leading Nelson Junior Leafs 4-2 in Saturday night hockey action.
The Leafs came out strong early in the first period with several good scoring chances on home ice but it was Kimberley who tallied up the first point. At 5:27, Dynamiter Taylor McDowell scored with help from Sam Nigg and Connor Kutzner.
The Leafs evened things up late in the period as Colton McCarthy scored a power play goal off a pass from Matthew Naka. But the Dynamiters answered back fast. Dallin Wolf scored from Matt Gann with 2:18 left in the first.
Down 2-1 after the opening period, the Leafs put on some good pressure to start the second and by mid-point in the game, they'd outshot the Dynamiters 22 to eight. Kimberley's goalie Matthew Mitchell was strong between the pipes for his team and in the end took home the games first star honors.
With 6:45 remaining in the second period, the Dynamiters built on their lead as Connor Kutzner scored capitalizing on a power play. The Leafs went to the dressing room down 3-1 at the end of the second.
The game was getting chippy and rough play from both sides continued into the third period. With Carson Wilans in the box for slashing, the Dynamiters Matt Gann bulged the twine off a pass from Sam Nigg making it 4-1 with 10:23 left in the game.
Keeping pressure on until the end, the Leafs' Matthew Naka scored with under a minute left in the game. Teammates Matt MacDonald and JJ Beitel dug in for the assist.
The game ended 4-2 with the Eddie Mountain Division rivals taking home a win.
This week, the Leafs head to Spokane for a match-up against the Braves. They will return to Nelson Community Complex to take on Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Friday. The puck drops at 7 p.m.

(1) Dear Alice,
What medications do you recommend for acne?
(2) Dear Alice,
I would like to know something about acne. I am a high school student, and have gotten acne. I got it for more than two years, and would like to find a way to cure it. I currently use Neutrogena's Acne face wash, Neutrogena's overnight acne treatment, and some face washers. They have decreased, but I really want them to be gone.
I also read that fatty foods don't contribute to acne, but any case, I still eat low-fat foods for healthy reasons.
I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot for your help.
Anxious about Acne
Dear Pimples and Anxious about Acne,
Acne is a skin disorder that can affect people at all ages, from infancy to old age. The years from adolescence to middle age tend to be the most troublesome as far as acne is concerned. Acne treatment seeks to clear up existing acne and prevent more from developing. Many aspects of acne are targeted to remedy the problem; they are grouped into three main factors — hormones, bacteria, and inflammation.
With the onset of adolescence and its accompanying increase in hormonal secretion, the body is bombarded with changes. The sebaceous glands (glands in our skin that produce and excrete sebum, a fluid that helps keep our skin lubricated) often overproduce sebum. The end result is the enlargement and clogging of the glands of the face, shoulders, chest, and back; and, a pimple or blackhead, what is referred to as a "comedone" in the medical world, is formed.
This situation gives rise to the second factor, bacteria, specifically Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne, for short). P. acne thrive in the environment created by the overproductive sebaceous gland where they set up shop, only to further aggravate skin troubles. The third factor, inflammation, is the body's response to clogging of the gland and subsequent bacterial invasion. As it tries to fight the bacteria, inflammation starts, and anti-inflammatory cells are sent to the site — this leads to the formation of a cyst or pustule.
Over-the-counter products, such as those Anxious about Acne mentioned, are sufficient for many people to control their acne. Generally, these products come in only one strength or dosage, which may work for a while (or not at all), but, in the future, may fail to control acne. If these don't work, stronger medications are available. Ask your health care provider or dermatologist. Be aware that one visit may not be enough to remedy your acne. Acne medications tend to affect people differently depending on skin type, classification, and severity of acne. You may, therefore, need to experiment with a few treatments before finding the "formula" that works for you.
One aim of acne treatment is to prevent pores from becoming clogged in the first place. An unclogged and healthy pore becomes an uninviting place to bacteria (and that's good news for you!). Astringents, benzoyl peroxides, retinoic acids, and glycolic acids all work to prevent pores from clogging. Antibiotics, either taken orally or applied topically, can be used to control some types of acne. In order to decrease the inflammation associated with some cases of acne, topical corticosteroids are used to suppress immune cells in the acne-ridden areas. For really bad cases of acne, talk with your health care provider about stronger medications that act by shrinking sebaceous glands. If you're a woman, certain birth control pills may help, too, because they help prevent excess secretion of androgen hormones, which work to decrease the effects hormones have on the sebaceous gland. Dermatologic surgery, such as incision and drainage or freezing, can also help unclog and clear pores, as well as reduce inflammation.
You're right, it is a myth that certain foods, like chocolate or potato chips, will induce or aggravate acne. However, if you notice that your acne flares up more often when you eat a particular food, then don't eat it. It is also a myth that dirt causes acne, and that scrubbing your face with a buffer will help control it.
For more information about acne — types, causes, home treatments, and preventive measures — check out Greasy foods lead to acne and gallbladder problems? in the Go Ask Alice! archives. Additionally, the American Academy of Dermatology has more information about acne.Alice!

Jabari and Ziggy.
Two great names. You might think they are reggae singers or hip-hop performers. But if you are a BYU sports fan, you know better.
Jabari Parker is considered the best high school basketball player since LeBron James. He made a recruiting visit to BYU last week.
Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah is a BYU football star from Africa, and he's projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
I've gotten to know Jabari and Ziggy pretty well. Six months ago, I wrote the Sports Illustrated cover story on Jabari. This week in Sports Illustrated, I've written a feature on Ziggy.
Both guys are real-life characters. This past Halloween, Jabari dressed up as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and wore one Shaquille O'Neal-size sneaker to school. Ziggy routinely wears glasses — just rims, no lenses — to appear more intellectual. The NBA and the NFL need a couple guys like this.
Before profiling Jabari, I did a lot of background research on him. Then I approached his parents and obtained permission to spend time with Jabari at home, at school and on the road with his team.
The profile on Ziggy was more accidental. Three months ago, I had never heard of him. Here's the backstory that led to the magazine profile.
I'm currently writing a book on college football called "The System." Doubleday will publish it in September 2013. My co-writer is Armen Keteyian from CBS News/60 Minutes. Back in the summer, we chose a handful of teams to follow through the season.
One of them is BYU. So I was in Provo for BYU's season opener against Washington State on Aug. 30. The guy I was really there to watch was linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
About an hour before kickoff, I was on the field. With time to kill, I scanned BYU's roster, checking for players from states other than Utah. My index finger stopped on No. 47, Ezekiel Ansah, from Accra, Ghana.
I just couldn't picture Bronco Mendenhall recruiting in Ghana. It is a small country on the west coast of Africa, between Liberia and Nigeria. Accra is its capital. I've spent time there as a journalist. So I knew firsthand that Ghanaians don't play American football. They don't even know what it is. They play soccer.
Naturally, I figured Ezekiel must be a kicker. But he was listed at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds. Not exactly the build of a soccer player.
None of this made sense.
As the Cougars took the field to warm up, I looked for No. 47. He was easy to spot. Turns out he's 270 pounds, not 250. And sculpted. I saw no one built like him during my travels to Ghana. There wasn't even anyone built like him on the football field.
When the game started, I observed that Ezekiel was not a starter. But he saw some action and made three tackles. He also terrorized the quarterback.
Plus, he had the appearance of a player who could have been on the Green Bay Packers in the Lombardi era — high-top cleats, socks pulled up to his knees, a clump of grass imbedded in his facemask. I couldn't help wondering when, where and how this guy learned to play America's most violent team sport. That night I learned his nickname is "Ziggy."
As the season progressed, I went on the road with BYU, and Ziggy eventually cracked the starting lineup in the fifth week of the season. Here's the crazy part. By the time BYU played Georgia Tech in Atlanta in late October, Ziggy had soared to the top of NFL draft boards. By then I was talking to NFL personnel and my editor at the magazine.
The fact is that the football odyssey of Ziggy is a modern-day Book of Mormon story. Five years ago, Ziggy was an Anglican in Africa who had never seen American football, much less played it. Today, he is a Mormon in America who has a chance to do what the vast majority of college football players only dream of — getting paid to play their sport.
Mormonism, it turns out, was Ziggy's pathway to the gridiron. Ken Frei, a BYU student from Idaho Falls, baptized Ziggy while on a mission in Ghana. But for that, Ziggy doesn't discover America's secular religion — football.
After baptizing Ziggy, Frei encouraged him to attend BYU. Six months later, Ziggy was rooming with Frei in Provo. Frei took Ziggy to his first football game at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Eventually, Ziggy walked on. That's part of the story I tell in Sports Illustrated.
Another element of the SI story is the unsung role of Van Noy. He is the most NFL-ready player on BYU's defense and may be the best defensive player to wear a Cougar uniform during Mendenhall's tenure. Early on, the team assigned Van Noy to room with Ziggy on all road trips, which afforded Ziggy the opportunity to learn the game from a future pro. "Kyle is like a brother to me," Ziggy told me. "I love him."
I've grown to love Kyle, too. I know it is unusual for a journalist to use those words about a subject. But I've spent a great deal of time with Van Noy this year. And he will be a major player in "The System" when it comes out next year. All I'll say here is that I can't think of a better mentor for Ziggy.
With Ziggy, there is an undercurrent of destiny. Consider that Frei met Ziggy on a basketball court in Ghana. Their common love of basketball turned them into fast friends. The interesting thing is that Steve Young partnered with Engage Now Africa to build the sports court where Frei and Ziggy met. The school's headmaster, a Mormon, allowed the missionaries to play pick-up basketball games there. And Ziggy worked there as a teaching assistant.
I called Young while writing the Sports Illustrated story on Ziggy. The former BYU quarterback still keeps close tabs on the Cougars. So he's familiar with Ziggy. But he had no idea that the court he helped build in Ghana proved to be the meeting place between Ziggy and the Mormon missionaries.
"The idea that Ziggy's story began there is heartwarming to all of us," Young said.
Nor did Frei set out to convert a football star. That wasn't the mission.
"But," he told me, "It is a nice side benefit."

When Netflix first rose to power as the DVD-by-mail company that catered to shut-ins everywhere, it's unlikely that anyone predicted the company might one day be promoting itself as a distributor for original TV programming. Yet now, it is actually posing a real threat to one of the most heralded content creators, HBO.
HBO has publicly claimed that it will never put its content on Netflix. So instead of trying to court HBO and pull it over to its side, it went with a different strategy — if you can't join 'em, beat 'em. Now, Netflix is trying to effectively become its own premium TV channel. The company wants to add five new original shows every year.
Changes are already on the way. The streaming giant has already locked up plans to bring a new season of Arrested Development to subscribers, along with shows like Cards, Lilyhammer, and Hemlock Grove.
It is an attractive proposition for content creators because 1) the traditional process of shooting and presenting a pilot is nixed. Netflix will provide a budget right out of the game. 2) There is no censorship, aside from what Netflix executives choose to impose, and 3) They're dealing with a 21st century company that knows what consumers want, as opposed to the crusty old network TV executives.
In an interview, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos specifically called out HBO, saying his goal "is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us." Netflix has started calling HBO its most closely aligned competitor — not Hulu, not YouTube, not Redbox — because of its role as both a content creator and a digital distributor.
Obviously, online-only shows are nothing new. YouTube is an outlet for a lot of very creative original, episodic content. Hulu is testing the waters with its own original series. These outlets tend to focus on very short bytes of content, though. Netflix wants its shows to be like full-length TV shows…like something you would watch on HBO. No other digital content platform is going there, and that's what makes Netflix exciting. It would be awesome to see a show like Lillyhammer or Cards get nominated for an Emmy Award next year. That would really shift the industry.

How To Clear Your Private Browsing Data in Firefox
Email services which are Web-based, take great precautions to ensure that only you can see your messages. They do this by many means; you may have to enter your password every time you check your mail or you may be forced to log off automatically after a period of time. But, you can also have a say in how your own security is managed.
It is sensible to empty your browser's cache of visited web pages and your passwords as well as clearing the browsing history or cookies, if you use a web-based email service from a public computer. If you don't clear your private data, another person that is using the same computer you did, may be able to see some of your private data.
To delete your personal cookies, browsing history, cached web pages or passwords and other personal data after using a web-based email service using Mozilla's Firefox's browser:
1) Select Tools/Clear Private Data from the menu.
2) Make sure Browsing History, Saved Form and Search History, Cache, Cookies, Saved Passwords and Authenticated Sessions tick boxes are checked.
3) Click Clear Private Data Now.
4) Close Mozilla Firefox.
If you want to clear your private data automatically when you exit Firefox, complete the following:
1) Select Tools/Options from the menu.
2) Go to the Privacy tab.
3) Make sure the 'Always clear my private data when I close Firefox' check box is ticked.
4) Click Settings
5) Choose the data that you want erasing and click OK.
6) Close the configuration dialog.
Now the next time you browse the Internet with Firefox your private data will be automatically erased.

Newton Investment Management
"Impetus helps more children succeed in education and more young adults move successfully into work, through a combination of financial support, the skills of their staff and pro-bono support. I have seen their impact. For example, Resurgo (one of their charity partners) originally started with a centre close to where I live and has been able to expand rapidly through its partnership with Impetus."
Palamon Capital Partners
"All of us harbour an innate desire to support people who are less fortunate than ourselves and to do so in the most compelling and effective way. Figuring out 'how' is typically our biggest challenge. I've committed my energy, time and capital to Impetus for over a decade because it meets that challenge. With reach, depth, precision and power, Impetus is making positive change a reality for thousands of young people."
"Quite simply, Impetus truly transforms the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. By helping them to succeed at school or to find work though the support of our charities, Impetus allows them to fulfil their true potential. To be a small part of that is a privilege and hugely rewarding."
Ares Management
"It has often been said that the best anti-poverty measure is a job. By focusing on education and employment for disadvantaged young people, Impetus is at the forefront of combating inequality, which is the most pressing social issue of our time."
CVC Capital Partners
"I support a number of charities working with young people but the thing that makes Impetus different is the investment rigour we bring. For charities as well as businesses, passion and a good idea are not enough, you need the discipline to build an organisation that can deliver sustainably and cost-effectively. Thanks to our roots in private equity we have deep experience of helping businesses succeed and we put that knowledge to work to help our charities succeed for the young people they serve."
Stepping Out
"Impetus helped the charity I founded, VoiceAbility, with investment and know-how to move from local to national impact. I was so impressed by their uniquely brilliant model for growing social impact for breakthrough social sector organisations, that I joined the Board of Impetus."
UCL Institute of Education
"Much education policy and philanthropic attention is rightly focused on younger children, and closing gaps early. But what of the many young people from disadvantaged backgrounds who leave education with few qualifications at 16? Impetus has chosen to work with young people during a hugely important period in their lives, using evidence-based means to ensure that the support is really effective."
BC Partners
"It's more than ten years since I joined a group of friends from the private equity world who came together to make a difference. We were motivated by a desire to give young people a fair shot in life, whatever their background. I've learned a lot along the way. That doing good is much harder than it appears, that it takes time and great people, and most importantly passion and energy. But I'm so proud of what we've done and what we're going to achieve in the years ahead."
(formerly) HgCapital
"Impetus is like no other charity I have come across. Yes they help to provide funding to their family of charities, but more importantly they provide the critical skills and support needed to help these organisations to grow and develop. The transformation that can be achieved is astonishing and the impact it has on young people's lives is truly remarkable."
"Impetus works with brilliant charities to help scale and improve outcomes for disadvantaged young people. Their model is proven and highly successful. And they bring much needed long-term financial and strategic support to their charity partners. Combining the passion of charity workers with the resources and discipline of Impetus creates amazing results."
"Having been a trustee of an Impetus backed charity, I have seen first-hand the impact they have. It is so much more than just money. It is advice, challenge, access to experts and above all a real clarity of focus on impact of the charity."

MUMBAI — In New York and London, women remain scarce among top bankers despite decades of struggle to climb the corporate ladder. But in India's relatively young financial industry, women not only are some of the top deal makers, they are often running the show.
HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS and Fidelity International in India are run by women. So is the country's second-biggest bank, Icici Bank, and its third-largest, Axis Bank. Women head investment banking operations at Kotak Mahindra and JPMorgan Chase and the equities division of Icici. Half of the deputy governors at the Reserve Bank of India are women.
In a country where parents in some areas still prize boys over girls; where overall female literacy rates are poor; and Sania Mirza, a top tennis player, said this month that she would quit playing after marriage, the banking industry's wealth of women in management may seem surprising. But women in the industry, many of whom have also worked in London and New York, say India provided the right combination of supportive, mostly male, managers and a diverse work environment that did not require them to be "one of the boys" to succeed.
This "isn't a golf-playing, beer-drinking homogeneous culture," said Naina Lal Kidwai, group managing director and country head of HSBC in India and a former head of Morgan Stanley's investment bank in India. Male bankers and managers run the gamut from devoutly religious to devoted family men to late-night socialites.
Women "could join the workplace on their own terms," Ms. Kidwai said. "You still have to network, you still have to work hard, but that made it easier."Continue reading the main story
That means India is without an old Wall Street staple: Women who feel they must act like the stereotypical male banker to advance. There are no swaggering "masters of the universe" in this group. Top female managers regularly wear saris and talk openly about their children and husbands.
These women handle many of India's biggest deals — raising $9.7 billion for the power company NTPC or negotiating Vodafone Group's purchase of an $11.1 billion stake in Hutchison Essar.
Almost all of them are in their 40s and 50s, are from wealthy backgrounds, went to excellent schools in India and abroad, and graduated at the top of their classes before excelling at the bank they joined. So they often enjoy the same status as the men who were their competition and their banking clients.
Banking may be more of a meritocracy than other professions, women in the business say, because there is an easy way to keep score: Look at the bottom line.
"You got your next big challenge based on your performance and your potential, not whether you were male or female," said Chanda Kochhar, chief executive of Icici Bank, where women make up 40 percent of the senior management. Mrs. Kochhar has been at the bank for her entire 25-year career, moving from corporate to retail banking, then directing the international business before becoming chief financial officer.
Women "excel when they are subject to an open competition," said Shyamala Gopinath, one of the Reserve Bank of India's two female deputy governors.
India operations of big global banks constitute a tiny portion of overall profits, because debt markets and deal size and volume are smaller than in developed countries. But India's importance has grown as investment banks bet on emerging markets for growth and simultaneously move more complicated jobs to India to cut costs at home.
So sometimes these women oversee more employees than many top managers at the banks' headquarters.
About 11 percent of HSBC's 331,000 employees are in India, for example, and of JPMorgan Chase's 220,000 employees, nearly 7 percent are in India.
One in five of India's big bank, insurance and money-management companies is headed by a woman, according to a study by the headhunting group EMA Partners. By contrast, there are no women leading major American or European banks, and no woman has ever run a Wall Street investment bank.
Bosses sometimes gravitate toward women in India because they think "women are less corruptible, more straightforward and above board most of the time," said K. Sudarshan, managing partner, India, for EMA.
In terms of compensation, none of the women interviewed said they had ever felt they were paid a different amount than their male counterparts.
"Here salary is totally nondiscriminatory," said Usha Thorat, the other female deputy reserve governor at India's central bank. The idea that women might be paid less for the same job as men in the United States "came as a surprise to me," she said.
At the same time, women in banking in India say they have always felt more pressure than men.
"Always, that is a given," Ms. Kidwai said. "It was very clear we had to perform better and work harder."
She added that the women now heading banks had often been the first women hired in their early jobs and had been "watched like hawks."
And they all relied heavily on a support network of family and India's cheap labor pool to help watch their children. Some enlisted mothers and mothers-in-law for child care for months or years, and all of them employed full-time nannies and maids.
The length of maternity leave differs from bank to bank, but the average is about three months.
Meera Sanyal, head of RBS in India, started working in India at a branch office of Grindlays Bank in Calcutta, dealing with a barrage of upset corporate customers and a unionized staff that resented her for replacing an older man. She revamped the way the bank handled clients, according to profitability; learned Bengali to communicate better with the local staff; and ultimately convinced reluctant unions to accept automation, though it would mean layoffs.
She was working at Lazard in India when she became pregnant with her first child. She recalls that when she told her boss she wanted to work flexible hours after her baby was born, he said: "Are you crazy? We've invested a lot of money in you."
Rather than quit, she said, she vowed to work so hard until she gave birth that Lazard would feel it had gotten its money's worth. She wrapped up a deal on July 6 and delivered the baby a day later. After that, her boss reconsidered, allowing her to work flexible hours for the same pay. There are several men, she said, who "made it possible for me to do what I wanted to do."
Now she is doing the same for other women at the bank. Recently, a risk manager said she needed to quit because she was pregnant and had been prescribed bed rest. Ms. Sanyal suggested that the bank set up a home office instead that would allow her to work from bed. After having a healthy baby, "she's back at work and absolutely a star performer," Ms. Sanyal said.
"Small things like that cost us nothing," she added. "It is just a way of being more flexible."
Kalpana Morparia, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase in India, had some simple advice for Western banks that are trying to increase the number of women at the top. "Just be gender neutral," she said. "Men are just as smart as we are."Continue reading the main story

About This Class
Making a living as a blogger has to be one of the sweetest gigs out there. As a blogger, you'll be able to earn passive income which means that your money will flow in even as you're sleeping, travelling or relaxing with friends. You're no long trading time for income and this is the point you need to get to if you want to really be free and financially independent (even being self-employed with clients is still pretty much like having a job).
What's more, blogging means you get to earn that money by writing on a topic that you find fascinating and you even get to become something of a minor celebrity in your chosen niche. You can earn a lot of money here too – if a blog takes off and becomes really successful then in theory you can earn thousands a day. It's incredibly scalable and there's no 'upper limit' for what you can achieve.

We run a variety of courses for people with disabilities with something for everyone. Our specialist adaptive kayaking courses are initially run on a private basis as an individual, a group of friends or with the family. These are a great way to get started, to try out the sport on your own, get to know the equipment or just as a great way to spend time with family and friends. Our aim is then to help you to develop on your own so that you can join our regular programme or activities within paddling clubs around Switzerland or abroad. We're here to support you in achieving your aims.
We offer our local tours on the beautiful Lake Brienz allowing you to experience the beauty of our local mountain lake from this unique perspective and feel the freedom that the water gives us. Experience the grandeur of the surrounding mountains, the beautiful cliffs and the calmness of the incredible turquoise lake.
These tailor made sessions are focused on getting you started in the sport, getting used to the equipment and developing your skills. We can cover any topic from forward paddling and boat handling to rescue skills or rough water training. We are at your service and will ensure that you get the most out of the session and give you lots to take away, and lots to practice, to get you on your way to become as independent as possible. If you'd like further information or have any questions just drop us a line and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
A half day full of fun and adventure that'll put smiles on the faces of all the family. Be the captain of you own ship, take a swim in the turquoise waters from a hidden beach, play games and test your balance while Eskimo kissing your boat. Whatever your abilities are, we'll make sure sure you have a great time. Lake Brienz is one of Switzerland's most beautiful lakes and its enchanting turquoise colour is a real treat for all the family. The half day is packed full of games and challenges, which will leave you all wanting more. An important prerequisite: be ready for a splash or two!
Once you have started out and we have found the right equipment or adaptations then our aim is that you can then take part in our normal range of courses. We believe in inclusion and integration in our sport and if you're feeling happy in your boat, there is no reason why you can't take part in our regular programme with our coaching sessions, tours and expeditions.

We pride ourselves on having top quality equipment, including Palm longjohn wetsuits and high end paddle jackets to ensure you're warm and happy whatever the weather. If conditions are unsafe to paddle in we will notify with as much notice as we can.

Are you like me who thinks this year flew by so fast? Honestly, I feel dizzy when I think how quickly 2014 ended.
During the final Sunday of the year, we were asked to skip over a rope, leaving the cares and disappointments of last year behind, and move into the new year with great expectations.
When you reflect back on 2014, what kind of year was it for you? Did you make any mistakes? What did you learn from those mistakes?
Most people plan to do things but never get started. Some of the barriers to starting are waiting till everything is perfect. In 2014, I decided to take action and not wait for perfection.
If you've been following this blog closely, you will have noticed a lot of activity going on.
I'll share five great highlights and activities that occurred this year. Some were successful, and others need improvement.
- I added a 24 hour message recording system. It does not matter what time zone you are. Just leave me a message anytime, and I'll respond.
- The second highlight was I started recording video. I am not perfect, but I decided to do it anyway because if I waited for perfection, I would never get on camera. I'm still learning how to improve the lighting and editing. If you subscribe to my 'You Tube channel' TheJoyceTV, you will always know when a new video is out. The videos have great tips for you.
- The third highlight was I completed the book, Reflections and Prayers for Nurses. Those who purchased this book have read it over and over and tell me it is very comforting and relevant.
- I started a training site Joyzeal Academy. Mentoring is something I love to do because I believe people can improve their lives if they get the best information and teaching.
- The fifth highlight of the year was I held my first webinar. I made a lot of mistakes organizing it but learnt from my mistakes.
The biggest takeaway for you is; 'Don't Wait to be Perfect to Do Stuff.' If you have a dream or a passion, start doing it today. You will make several mistakes, and you will not be perfect, but remember, you will get better as you go. One year down the road you will wish you started today.
What are your plans for 2015?
My plan is to connect with you even more. That is my main focus for 2015. If you've not entered your name into the email list, please do so today to make connecting with you possible.
You are special, and I wish you a prosperous 2015.

TDVision Systems, Inc., an emerging leader in the design and development of 3-D digital infrastructure and visualization systems, has unveiled the first-of-its-kind true 3-D technology that is fully compatible with current digital broadcast infrastructures.
TDVision developed the sophisticated 3-D technology to change the way we view the world. It will enable significant advances in security and military technology, allow people to "travel" to places they may never be able to visit in person, and provide considerable 3-D medical breakthroughs that will save lives. The gaming and digital entertainment industries will benefit immensely as the immersive experience will cause people to question what is real and what is computer generated. And the technology provides mobility to all content from all sources in all current formats and standards.
"Our revolutionary stereo algorithm dynamically emulates the way the eye actually sees. And the innovative architecture allows us to use current existing infrastructures and with the addition of our proprietary hardware provide true 3-D. The resulting image allows the final user to feel as if they were completely immersed, just like in our real three dimensional world, "said Moises Goldman, Ph.D. President and CEO of TDVision Systems, Inc. "This is an exciting advancement for the gaming and digital entertainment industries; we can bring art to life and genuinely portray what the producer or content creator is trying to convey because you are so immersed in the environment, you think you are actually there."
Although many have aspired to present a more realistic picture to the viewer, none have been able to accomplish true 3-D until now. They all rely on pre-existing methods and technology. TDVision is the only company that has designed from the ground-up all the add-on hardware, firmware, software and interfaces necessary to accomplish true 3-D. By completely redesigning the approach to 3-D, TDVision is able to offer an unrivaled immersive experience with no side effects that are common with other technologies. Additionally, TDVision's methodology enables the compatibility with current 2-D TV's and monitors to allow for simultaneous viewing of 2-D and 3-D content with no loss in frame rate or picture quality and resolution.

With this event, we are launching a petition that tells the federal government that Texas is drawing a line in the sand, just like 173 men drew a line in the sand at The Alamo to keep Texas free. What we are saying is 'don't mess with Texas.
Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) June 04, 2014
Conservative Republicans of Texas (CRT), the largest Republican PAC in Texas, has organized the Defense of Texas Marriage Amendment rally at the Texas Republican State Convention, Thursday, June 5th, 2014 at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas at 7:30pm.
This rally is in response to the decision of San Antonio federal district judge, Orlando Garcia, who rejected the will of the people of Texas and arbitrarily ruled that the Texas Constitution Marriage Amendment was unconstitutional on February 26, 2014, creating new law from the bench and redefining marriage.
The citizens of Texas in the November 8, 2005 general election, passed, by a margin of three to one, 76% to 24%, a Marriage Amendment to the Texas Constitution, Article 1, Section 32, which provides that: "Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman."
Over 180 state and federal officeholders from Texas, as well as Texas Republican Party officials, have cosponsored this event with the stated purpose of asserting Texas' state sovereignty over its laws and constitution.
President and founder of CRT, Steven F. Hotze, M.D., stated:
"Overturning the Marriage Amendment would coerce and compel every Texas citizen, house of worship and business to recognize and affirm homosexual and other deviant relationships as morally and legally equivalent to marriage, violating and discriminating against the rights of the majority to freedom of speech and freedom of religion." Dr. Hotze further stated: "Enough is enough. For a judge to tell Texas that its Constitution's Marriage Amendment is 'unconstitutional' is patently absurd. For a single judge to redefine marriage in the State of Texas is a dangerous precedent, which, if allowed to stand, would unravel the social fabric of our state.
"With this event, we are launching a petition that tells the federal government that Texas is drawing a line in the sand, just like 173 men drew a line in the sand at The Alamo to keep Texas free. What we are saying is 'don't mess with Texas.'"
Senator Ted Cruz, Senator John Cornyn, candidate for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, candidate for Attorney General Ken Paxton and megachurch Pastor Steve Riggle will all be speaking.

AUBURN, Mass. (AP) — The manhunt for a suspect accused of fatally shooting a Massachusetts police officer has come to a violent end.
Authorities say 35-year-old Jorge Zambrano was shot to death Sunday evening at a duplex in Oxford after exchanging gunfire with police and wounding a state trooper. The trooper is an 18-year veteran and former U.S. Navy Seal. He's expected to survive.
Officials say the manhunt ended nearly 18 hours after Zambrano fatally shot Officer Ronald Tarentino during a traffic stop early Sunday morning in Auburn.
The 42-year-old Tarentino was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He had been with the Auburn police force for two years, and before that worked with the Leicester Police Department in his hometown. He leaves behind a wife and three children.

Another weekend has gone by and it's time to get ready for a new week of work on humanity's outpost in space!
As I wrote last weekend, Saturday is the cleaning day. It's also the day when you have some more time for personal hygiene, when you can take a luxurious bath… ehm, just kidding. But, in space terms, it's still a luxurious day: you may choose, like I do, to inaugurate your fresh, clean, new towel on Sunday. It's not exactly shower size, more like what you would use in your home for drying hands, but it's still nice.
We also get a "shower in a bag" every second day: it's one of those camping towels that you impregnate with water – most of ours come wrapped in an pouch with the same interface for the water dispenser as the drinks, so you can dispense water directly into the bag without spilling any drops around.
And we have a pouch of liquid soap every second week. So, recapping, wash with your camping towel and the liquid soap, dry with your weekly real towel. We also have a washcloth per week, I typically use it for drying off sweat during exercise for one week, the next week it graduates to spitting towel for toothpaste. I know, I'm high-maintenance: many astronauts just swallow it.
Hey, if the spitting in the towel was already too much information for you, you might want to stop here, because it gets better. How about cutting your fingernails in space? I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I had postponed this operation until yesterday, because I was a bit intimidated by it. How do you make sure that your don't lose a cut-off piece of fingernail in the cabin, which could end up in somebody's eyes? That would be very poor space etiquette. People have told me that you do that close do a ventilation return grid, but I wasn't 100% convinced that it would go smoothly. Anyway, I'm happy to report that it worked great. I found a return grid with a very fine mesh and a robust airflow and I carefully cut my fingernails just in front of it and sure enough, all the pieces went in the right direction and stuck to the surface of the grid. In the end I only had to vacuum clean.
Another thing we like to do on the weekend, if it sort of matches the prescribed usage rate of food, is to refill our boxes of dishes in Node 1.
Food supplies are organized by type, like meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts, breakfast, etc… when we get a new package out, like the one I'm holding in the picture, we scan it and move it to the "deployed food" location in the inventory system, so the ground always knows where we stand with food. Little boxes, like the ones you can see in the left part of the pictures, serve as our kitchen shelves to store the deployed food packages in Node 1. There's a label on the front of each box to note the date on which that type of food was last replenished: this way we can make sure we're not going through the food too fast!
Today I have take over from Terry what we call "The Duty", a weekly rotation involving a number of administrative and housekeeping responsibilities: turning on the lights in the morning, turning them off in the evening, closing the shutters of the Cupola windows at night, but also running our Daily Planning Conferences with the control centers and keeping an eye on the Daily Summary. This latter is a document that is uploaded every morning to ISS and contains some critical information for the safety of the Station (for the case we had a major failure and we went Loss of Com with the ground), as well as a Q&A section: questions for the crew and answers to questions the crew had earlier. It also has the manning roster of all the control centers for the shifts of the day, so we can always know who is on console in Houston, Huntsville, Munich, Tsukuba and Moscow.

text: On a chilly Saturday, November 23rd, CEIE geotechnical graduate students from Dr. Burak Tanyu's CEIE636 – Sources of Geotechnical Data class explored what is beneath George Mason's athletic practice field. Civil engineers Ethan Cargill, P.E., and Rob Cedar from ConeTEC brought their 50,000 lb testing truck to GMU from their Charles City, VA offices for a demonstration. Eric Backus, P.E., from GMU Facilities helped with location and underground utility clearance so that students could explore 30 ft below the ground surface with ConeTEC's highly sophisticated seismic cone penetrometer test with pore pressure dissipation and dilatometer tests. These data are used in geotechnical design applications including bearing capacity estimation, elastic settlement calculation, time rate of settlement and pre-consolidation acute stress assessment, horizontal earth pressure estimation, shallow foundation response, and seismic site classification. Interaction with leaders in engineering practice is a signature feature of the CEIE program.

The title of the second half of Romans 8 is "Present Suffering and Future Glory." There is something beautiful and terrible to be living in this tension. At the same time that we weep and groan, we are given a promise that the Holy Spirit weeps and groans with us, because he and all of creation is waiting for the day that Christ will come again.
We forget that God's plan is so much bigger than our human idea of "plan." And while it is glorious to think about, it is at the same time so incredibly frustrating.
One of the songs we will sing on Sunday is called "Your Love Never Fails." In the bridge, we will sing "You make all things work together for my good." That is what this week is all about.
We will be gathered with Chris Tomlin's song "Indescribable." In Romans 8:22, we read about all of creation groaning for the adoption of the sons of God. It reminded me of Psalm 148, when creation is once again described as praising the Lord with their "voices." Isn't it incredible to think that we not only join the whole church to worship on Sunday morning, but all of the created universe?
"Refiner's Fire" will help us pray for open hearts and minds before we hear the sermon. "My heart's one desire is to be holy, set apart for you... ready to do your will."
I encourage you to prepare your hearts as we gather to worship the Lord this Sunday.

Currently living on the Ayrshire coast, Ian is a full time contemporary artist exploring seascapes and landscape in both abstract and representational forms. Working predominately in oil his bold and sometimes physical style attempts to capture the energy and the drama of the coast and the open sea. His painting is an exploration of the emotional pull of colour and texture to bring the sea alive.
Ian finds constant inspiration from the varied coastal scenery of the British Isles and Ireland and is drawn to the drama of the wild winter seas of the Celtic fringe
In recent years Ian has been committed to therapeutic creativity as an extension to his work as a full time artist developing workshops and projects to promote well-being for both children and vulnerable adults.
Ian's latest artistic venture draws to together painting, literature and photographic reportage in a major 2-3 year project that will take him to sea from Iceland to the edge of the Mediterranean.
His work is extensively exhibited in galleries across the British Isles and is held in private collection across Europe, Australia and North America.

2008-05-31 34 -118
Sat 31 May 2008 in Los Angeles:
The actual point was in a self-storage place under the 10 Fwy, or alternately was on the 10 Freeway. At least four people showed up.
Architecturally, that neighborhood is interesting, because it has some pre-world-war-one housing, which is uncommon in LA.
(If no one has pictures, I'll return later and take some for the record. -- Mike)
- Ahem. Those showing up at 4pm sharp may want to hang around for a bit to meet those of us underestimating trafic and getting there, say, 25 min late. I took a few pics; will post when I get home. --IlyaHaykinson 00:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Was a bit of a bust. I think it had something to do with the location. I'm Adam, the white guy in the red overshirt, and whoever that was in the SUV: if you'd waited another 5-10 minutes, you would have met at least Mike! Ah well. -- Adam
I did a drive-over of the map coordinates at an altitude of about 50 feet (i.e. on the 10 Fwy) at 3:59PM. (Can we get a rules committee adjudication as to whether this constitutes successfully reaching the spot?) Afterwards, I circled back and entered the parking lot of the storage facility and I said hello to Adam as I exited (I'm the SUVer). I looked for someplace to park in the area but gave up on that. So, call this the first "drive-by meetup," or maybe "meetup, L.A. style." --Bill
Planning Information[edit]
- As of 16:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC), the map lookup is incorrect. Use the main page coords. See Template talk:Expeditions/2008-05-31. --Tim P 16:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you go by the coords on the main page you get a location right on the 10 freeway, near the intersection of Union and 20th, by USC. [[1]]
- Mike suggests that meeting on the 10 fwy might be a bad idea.
- Daniel notes that it seems there might be an area beneath the freeway that is safely accessible (although he regrets he will not be able to make it because of a prior commitment). However, upon closer inspection (Google Maps Street View), he realizes that it is a fenced-in area, apparently a self-storage facility[2]. It seems the only solution is for someone to figure out which storage unit is located at the exact coordinates, rent it out, and hold a party inside it.
- We might be able to convince the owner to humor us by letting us walk around the facility, if we can convince him that Geohashing is legit and non-destructive 184.108.40.206 03:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Looking at it, there seems to be a specific unit under the marker, as opposed to there being a road there, but I'm not sure. Hopefully we can at least get whoever is running the facility to humor us with a tour! Hopefully at least one of you can speak spanish, as it's a definite possibility that whoever is running it is less than fluent in english. 18.104.22.168 03:20, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- (edit) FWIW, Rigo's Tacos (22nd and Union) and Ragazzi Coffee (23rd and Union) are by there. -- Mike
- SouthLAMike, thanks for scoping out the place but I think you're missing the point. I feel that Geohashing is about trying to understand the world by exploring a true random sample of it. I already know what a taco place and a coffee house are like. I want to see what the area under the freeway is like today.
- Fair 'nuff. -- Mike

Thanks for visiting.
We're in Albany on the Southern Ocean coast of Australia and today we're calling in to the National Anzac Centre, which was built in 2014 to honour the 40,000 plus enlisted members of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps who fought in WW1.
Anzac Day falls on 25th April and is a National Holiday in Australia, with marches and services around the country. The Centre uses multimedia, interactive technology and historical artefacts which gives a personal connection to the past. I particularly liked the fact that you were given a specific person to follow through the war.
|The building overlooks King George Sound in Albany from whence the convoys left to go to Europe and on to Gallipoli
|Here's my soldier - Trooper Charles Livingstone of the 6th Australian Light Horse Regiment, AIF
|I was so relieved to see that he survived the war unlike so many others.
|There was a lot of information about him plus letters and artefacts.
|This is a tribute to those that fell, their names are recorded under the water which rolls towards to the sea outside the building.
|Outside the building, there is much to explore including memorials and lookouts plus a cafe and shop.
We will remember them.
