We were already late, and the bus was about to depart. We had been trying to find Nessy (the local term for the Monster of Loch Ness) all day long, but as anyone else would expect, we weren't any better than the thousands of experts that have tried in the past. We were already on the NE5I BUS (a nice little bus purposely built for tourist's monster quests), which had windows that allowed for a wonderful view to the wide extension of the lake, but we weren't able to leave the place as there was one person missing:... well, I don't know his name, but he was certainly a chinito*.
George was the driver's name, and although he was rather harsh in his manners, he was able to insert a joke or two into the tour's speech. "Well, I can't wait any longer"- he said. -"It's so bad as it is clear that he can't speak English very well."
He started the bus, and as he was turning to reach the highway I was thinking to myself: "How great would it be, if in the very last minute I could spot the chinito in the horizon and tell the driver to stop. That way I would be something similar to a hero (at least to the chinito)"
I don't think I had finished redacting that statement in my mind, when I saw someone at the distance, running fast towards us, and then stopping, helpless and regarding his goal already impossible to accomplish by then.
I remember opening my mouth to tell the driver, but no sound came out of it. I'm not sure why, it just didn't happen. I hesitated when the person I saw stopped running. I couldn't really tell if it was the actual chinito we were looking for, or just a product of my imagination. The fact is that I stayed quiet. As the words of George started to fade in the interior of my mind, my mind never stopped to remind me that I could have saved the chinito from staying alone in the lake, unable to communicate, hungry and maybe freezing to death! (ok, ok, too much drama! I know, sorry, it just flows natural! ;-)). Why did I hesitate?...
Two hours before...
"Today you must be Naturalist and Detective, Judge and Jury". This was the welcoming moto at the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre. I was shocked! I was expecting a museum full with stories and legends of sightings and mistery, confusing enough as to let the visitors leave the place wondering and hoping maybe "Nessy" actually existed. Instead, I find this museum full of actual facts and explorations with such an overwhelming consistency, that after the tour, you feel like your parents just told you that Santa doesn't exist. I know, this is childish. If I was going to bet my money before going in there, I would had bet for Nessys unexistance. However, I can't deny that there is something inside of me that wants to believe in the unbelievable. Our minds are wired in such a way that if you want to believe in Nessy, shadows, spots, uneven movements, other animals, floating branches or pretty much anything can be pictured as a proof that the monster is real. This is why I hesitated when I though I saw the chinito. Maybe my mind was just so tricked by my desire of being a "hero", that I was going to stop a bus just to find out that the chinito was happily buying stuff at the Nessy Shop or in the toilets with a bad diarrhea. Or... maybe my mind was so tricked by all the "Naturalist and Jury" thing that I did see the chinito for real, but was afraid of being wrong and make a fool of myself in front of the rest of the tourists...
I don't think the chinito froze to death or anything. The bus was going to go back a couple of hours later, anyway. But on my way back to the hostel I couldn't stop thinking about this. Why is it that our minds play so many tricks on us? Why are they "naturally" drawn to believe in the unbelievable? Our parents, our society and our lives have to teach us that there is not such a thing as a "supernatural" realm, but why is it that evolution never took that tendency from us in the first place? Besides, believing in "unreal" things is supposed to be a disadvantage against believing only in the real things.
Maybe, I dare to state, our minds have been wired this way since the begining because there are some realities out there that we cannot understand yet, and therefore seem "supernatural" to us even when they aren't. And it would just be such a shame if by playing to be "naturalists and juries" all the time we would miss the experience of getting to know them...
What do you think?
* In Mexico, we call any asian we see a "chinito", which stands for "little chinese man". We call that way anyone with asian physical characteristics, even if they are not actually from China. (This is not a good practice, of course, and Chinese people must not feel so good about it, but it's just the way it is in my culture). I use the term for dramatical purposes only.

Dell Axim Pocket PcReviewing: Dell Hc01 U | Rating:
I purchased the Dell Axim Pocket PC to be the tool I needed on the road to help keep my calendar and contacts at my fingertips. But it is much more than that. It also has the capability to take along Word files and Excel files I may need to refer to when I'm away from the house. It also uploads my emails for the day and I can catch up on them if I have to leave and not have time to check them on the PC.
When I'm sitting in the doctor's office or have some time to kill, I can entertain myseld with a game of Solitaire.
The calendar reminder is awesome. If there is an important date or appointment I need to keep, the alarm goes off to remind me and brought to my attention.
I can write notes or reminders in the task area and show the importance of the priority so I'm sure to check into it soon. Because it is a Pocket PC, you can click on the start menu as you do on your computer and the programs you have listed show you what you have available.
Windows Media player is also installed, so you can listen to your favorite tunes. If you set it up for an internet connection, it can be accessed by Internet Explorer browser.
There are so many great features, some of which I haven't even begun to explore.

THE HAGUE, December 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ —
In advance of completion of its recommended combination with BG Group, Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) (NYSE: RDS.B) today announced further details of the proposed operational and administrative restructuring under consideration. Shell expects the restructuring will be required to achieve the expected benefits of the recommended combination, including previously disclosed and reported-on pre-tax synergies of $3.5 billion (subject to the bases of belief, principal assumptions and sources of information set out in the Appendix to the announcement made by Shell on 3 November 2015 providing investors with a strategic update).
Shell's expectation is that BG's business would be integrated into Shell's businesses. As part of that, Shell proposes that office consolidation will be undertaken where practical in certain locations around the world. With regards to office footprint rationalisation in the UK, Shell will, following deal completion, undertake a comprehensive review during the course of 2016.
Shell currently expects an overall potential reduction of approximately 2,800 roles globally across the combined group, or approximately 3% of the total combined group workforce. These reductions are in addition to the previously announced plans to reduce Shell's headcount and contractor positions by 7,500 globally.
The proposed changes are subject to deal completion, engagement with affected employees and relevant employee representatives. Further detailed work will be undertaken on the details of the proposed operational and administrative restructuring as part of ongoing integration planning. The deal remains on track for completion in early 2016.
Additional Information
This announcement is not intended to and does not constitute or form part of any offer to sell or subscribe for or any invitation to purchase or subscribe for any securities or the solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Shell-BG combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities of Shell or BG pursuant to the Shell-BG combination in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable laws.
This announcement does not constitute a prospectus or prospectus equivalent document.
Overseas jurisdictions
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom may be restricted by law and therefore any persons who are subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom should inform themselves about, and observe, any applicable requirements. The information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance with the laws of jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom.
No profit forecast
Statements of estimated cost savings and synergies relate to future actions and circumstances which, by their nature, involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies. As a result, the cost savings and synergies referred to may not be achieved, may be achieved later or sooner than estimated, or those achieved could be materially different from those estimated. For the purposes of Rule 28 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("Code"), the quantified financial benefits statement contained in this announcement is the responsibility of Shell and the Shell directors. Neither this statement nor any other statement in this announcement should be construed as a profit forecast or interpreted to mean that the combined group's earnings in the first full year following implementation of the Combination, or in any subsequent period, would necessarily match or be greater than or be less than those of Shell or BG for the relevant preceding financial period or any other period. The bases of belief, principal assumptions and sources of information in respect of the quantified financial benefits statement, as well as the reports provided for the purposes of Rule 28 of the Takeover Code by Deloitte LLP as reporting accountant and Bank of America Merrill Lynch as financial adviser, are set out in Shell's management day announcement on 3 November 2015.

Except two Republicans, Todd Huff and David Marks, the legislation was approved by the members of the County Council.
"I want all Baltimore Countians to have equal access to those opportunities that make them more productive citizens, but upon further reflection, I don't know if there are already protections under the law," Marks said in a statement, "I continue to have questions about the legislation, and would prefer for the state to act first on this issue."
Tom Quirk, who introduced the bill, said "everyone deserves to be treated fairly."
"This bill is a human rights bill, and I'm proud of Baltimore County tonight."
The Baltimore sun reports the bill will add both gender identity and sexual orientation to the county's existing anti-discrimination laws, which protect people in the workplace, housing, finance and public accommodations.

So it's been a long time since I have added a post but I decided to take time off and add one on this interesting topic.
I already had Ubuntu installed on my toshiba satellite laptop and now I decided to install fedora 14.
Once I installed Fedora it did not detect ubuntu and after a lot of Googling I found that I had to first recover ubuntu grub2 and then do
an update-grub to get the option of installing both.
I booted the system via live usb and installed the grub via the below command into the MBR
grub-install /dev/sda
Then I ran 'update-grub' and did a reboot again but it did not detect fedora 14 and booted straight into ubuntu.
Again after a lot of googling I realized that since fedora was installed on the extended partition it was not detected.
So Now what? Well the solution was simple but it tool me a long time to find out.
All you need to do is install startup manager
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
run by typing
sudo startupmanager
and thats it it wil create the grub file along with the option to boot fedora

At last I have made a positive start to what is going to be a short book … in fact it is meant to be as short as possible … about Conducting. To show how serious a move this is I can tell any reader straight away that one crucial fact enabled me to start: I ditched the computer and started to use pencil and paper, just like in the old days. Instead of dithering over producing perfect computer-copy first off (which I rarely succeed in doing anyway) I had to start thinking in whole sentences and paragraphs. Old-fashioned disciplines re-emerged from the depths of my mind and once on the move my pencil literally had trouble keeping up with my thoughts. I must admit though that I have to cross out at least half of what I write in order not to be boring or libellous.
Like my two previous books 'The Trumpet' and 'The Art of Practice', this will not be a read-through-in-a-straight-line-to-the-end sort of book, but a dip-into-and-put-down-as-soon-as-your-mind-wanders sort of book. In short not an epic but more of a what-if book. I must admit that during my activities as a teacher, now at an end, I was a fan of teasing out responses from students, rather than telling them what to do or think. It seemed better to encourage them to put their own minds to work. After all they had to spend the rest of their lives with their own minds, not mine, and as it was all they had, the sooner they learned to use them the better it would be for them.
I have always felt that Socrates' methods (he was a Greek, a Philosopher, and very Ancient) of teasing out answers from his young pupils offered the most enlightenment to them, even if it was their confusion that came over most strongly in their chats. It seems hard, even so long ago and far away, that he was required to die just because of asking some innocent questions and in the process annoying some very dim people. (It was a democratic vote after all, so perhaps one should not be surprised.) Perhaps his radar was set rather too high not to realise that he was being so annoying. To be told "Behave or Die," he just did not see it coming. (He himself did not write the books about his thought games. They come down to us as written up by his disciple Plato.) I trust that my readers, if there are any, will be able to forgive me for any annoyances caused by this book-to-be. Please. I don't want to die just yet. And the local supermarket is fresh out of hemlock. (For more information on this appetising drink, try googling the word itself, or the old-fashioned drinker's welcome "What's your poison?").
The point of my view (and Socrates') is that the answers to our questions are already inside us just waiting to pop out if only we can find them. My first priority, as a humble teacher of musical matters, has always been to cart away the rubbish that blocks the flourishing of peoples' talents. Once that's done then the real work can start. In the book I will be trying to help the budding conductor clear away his or her own rubbish in order to open up to his or her own answers. Not mine, theirs.
I loved teaching in all its forms, and still do. It is a sacred trust to be asked if you can make a difference to the course of someone's life, not by bossing them around and telling them what to do, but by drawing out their own musical responses with simple questions – but not too simple.
Back to the podium … All conductors are different in how they mix their skills together to make themselves effective. However, all good conductors have the same core skills, notwithstanding the superficial differences between them. Throughout the book I offer pen-portraits of some of the finest conductors of the past, and identify as closely as I can what allowed their musical talents to flourish. Some of the many I met were impressive as humans, others were just egos looking for a stage, any stage, but still producing musical marvels. Others, by common consent, merited nothing more on the personal level than the title of 'a very nasty piece of work.' They could be very good too: good character and fine achievement do not necessarily go together.
A dozen years ago, after finishing 'The Art of Practice', I admit I did instruct my wife … I very rarely dare to instruct my wife, but I was desperate … to shoot me if I attempted to write another book. Writing a book is no walk in the park. It's more like a war of attrition against an army of words, ideas and general mental bric-a-brac, all fighting me and each other to get onto the paper: the truth and the poor writer can go hang. Like the wreck of a boxer who has just gone many painful rounds with a far superior opponent, I shall be bewitched, battered and bewildered by the end of it.
But I mustn't complain: perhaps I will dip into one of my previous books to get a few hints about staying calm, thinking straight and controlling my anxiety. Or does anyone have Plato's phone number? No, better tough it out. Where's that pencil? Back to Work. Back to the trenches.

Aeroseal might sound like some kind of gadget, but it can help you get the most out of your HVAC system. Most houses have quirks that rankle the most patient of homeowners. Maybe yours has uneven temperatures and allergens that you can't quite get under control. Or maybe you're tired of paying high energy bills but aren't quite sure what to do about it. Aeroseal was designed to help.
Many air quality, efficiency and general HVAC issues are rooted in air leaks throughout the ductwork system. Aeroseal stops the leaks, and the process is just about as noninvasive as it gets. Here's what you can expect from it.
Reduce Dust, Pollen, Mold and Other Allergens
Air leaks throughout the ductwork let your expensive heated and cooled air escape. But they do something else, too: they draw in musty, dusty, allergen-laden particles. Once inside the ducts, those allergens are blown out into every room in your home.
Think about where your ductwork runs. In most Massachusetts homes, the network branches out through walls, basements, crawlspaces and attics. And those areas are notoriously dusty. Some are also dank with mold and mildew problems. Aeroseal stops air leaks, and that helps keep your indoor air cleaner and more allergen-free.
Aeroseal is a Non-Toxic Material
What good can eliminating air leaks do if the sealant sends a whole new range of air pollutants into your home? With Aeroseal, that's a nonissue. The product is so safe, it's used in hospitals and government buildings.
The manufacturer explains that the polymer which seals ductwork gaps is the same water-based material used in hair spray and chewing gum. It has "extremely low" VOCs. Any odor is mild, similar to water-based paste used for children's crafts, and usually disappears in about a day.
Ducts Aren't Lined, Just Sealed
Some homeowners wonder about the method for sealing, how much product is used and what might happen inside the ducts over time if Aeroseal fails. But ducts aren't lined with the polymer. It only bonds with the gaps that you need to seal, leaving the rest of the network as it was. In fact, you could still have ducts cleaned seasonally if you want. But you probably won't need to.
Aeroseal only lands and bonds where it's needed. A fine particle mist flows through the ducts under pressure and is forced into cracks and loose seams. The remaining particles blow on through, leaving no residue behind.
Watch this short episode of Ask This Old House and see Aeroseal in action:
Reduced Energy Consumption and Lower Utility Bills
Of all the pros about Aeroseal, this one might be the greatest. In fact, high energy bills are often the reason New England homeowners look into duct sealing in the first place. Air leaks rob you of heated and cooled air. They cause your HVAC system to work harder, and drive up energy costs.
Sealed air leaks prevent air loss, which makes your home more comfortable. It can help eliminate hot and cold spots, take some of the load off your HVAC system, and ultimately lower your consumption and costs. Many homes lose 20-40% of conditioned air through leaks. Aeroseal prevents 90 percent of that.
Traditionally, duct sealing required mastic or aluminum tape to close off gaps that waste conditioned air. But the majority of your ductwork is likely inaccessible or at least difficult to reach. Sealing a whole system would mean climbing through attics and crawlspaces and maybe even cutting into drywall. And that doesn't even begin to address the problem of identifying the leaks in the first place.
Aeroseal works differently. First, your ductwork is closed off. Then a pressure test shows the volume of leaks present in the system. That tells your technician how much polymer to use. Then a fine mist of sealant is sent into the system where it's automatically forced into gaps, no matter where they exist. Remaining particles are blown out, and your ductwork is sealed better than new.
Air leaks plague most homes, but you don't have to live with the problem. A simple process can reduce allergens, improve air quality, lower energy bills and make your whole house more comfortable.
Call Rodenhiser today and learn more about this revolutionary duct sealing system. We've helped homeowners in Milford, Framingham, Concord and throughout the Route 495 / 128 area for over 85 years, and we can make your home more comfortable, too.

Attacking midfielder Alexander Baumjohann has signed with Western Sydney Wanderers for the upcoming A-League season, where he will join forces with new coach and fellow German Markus Babbel.
Baumjohann, 31, has played most recently in Brazil with Coritiba and Vitoria, having previously spent time at some of Germany's biggest clubs.
He was a member of the Schalke 04 team that lost to Manchester United in the 2011 Champions League semifinals and has also played at Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach.
The former German under-17 and under-21 international with link up with new coach Babbel and another German player, Patrick Ziegler, at the Wanderers.
"Of course Markus Babbel played a big role for my decision to sign with the Wanderers but I already knew a lot about the club because of this incredible history of winning the [Asian Champions League] in just the second year of the club," Baumjohann said.
"I want to help to bring this great club back to where it belongs."

Tony Duran/Treats!
Move over, Ireland Baldwin! Another celebrity offspring is making major moves in the modeling world. Sean Penn and Robin Wright's daughter, Dylan Penn has just signed with Premier Model Management.
"We are very excited to be working with Dylan," Emily Sykes, head of special bookings at Premier told Vogue. "She represents the modern model and muse – so intelligent, with bags of personality and talent. We see great potential."
It probably doesn't hurt that the 23-year-old has already managed to land a bunch of major deals with her U.S.-based agency DT Model Management—including a sexy shoot in GQ magazine in January of this year and an offer to pose in Playboy magazine, which she turned down.

This past Saturday marked the official beginning of summer, according to nature, although the rest of us have been enjoying warm weather and leaving the office a little early on Fridays for weeks now. I celebrated this scientific designation by heading to the beach for a day, but if I were to turn a trip like that into a long weekend, I'd want the Herschel Malibu Collection Novel Duffel at my side.
Herschel makes tons of colorful, affordable travel bags and backpacks for both men and women, and although this bag was listed under the men's section, I think it'd make a great, slightly nautical-feeling addition to basically anyone's weekend trip. It's preppy without being exclusionary, and bright without being obnoxious. Although there's significant white space, the design also has enough stripes and colors to disguise wear, and Herschel's products are known to be pretty durable. And if it does get stained, ripped or otherwise destroyed, there's no great tragedy – it costs less than $100.
Pick up one of these duffels for your next long weekend via Bloomingdale's for $75.

This item is a pair of vintage kid leather gloves. They are a soft bone white leather that is embroidered with a matching floral scene on each glove. They are in like new condition. In fact, I do not think they have ever been worn. They are in the original clear sleeve holder and are tagged together at the wrist with the original threading. They are stamped on the interior of one glove with the logo that reads "Made in Italy". There is also the number "23" stamped inside each glove.
Condition: I do not find any stains, or loose threading. Nothing looks stretched. I do not know how to size gloves, but these look small to me. They measure about 9" from the wrist to the tip of the longest finger. The width is about 2 7/8". The embroidery does not have any loose threading that I can see.
These gloves are from a private estate. I am guessing they are probably from the 1950's. The leather is soft and the embroidery is beautiful.

Mountain Leap Transfers
One of the key elements of our service to our ski weekend and our other fully managed event clients is our dedication to smooth airport transfers. Our guests can expect that if we say we will collect them, a uniformed, polite, knowledgeable and personable member of our transfer team will be there.
We can guarantee this because Mountain Leap has incorporated a subsidiary fully licensed and insured transport company, Mountain Leap Transfport SARL. We operate our own fleet of smart, comfortable and well maintained minibuses.
With our well trained, experienced drivers and our in house transport management system, we avoid the risks associated with over reliance on subcontracted taxi firms or transfer companies. From time to time we will use local firms, where we have built a good working relationship and know the principals and many of the drivers.
For the most part though, we would rather have you and your guests looked after by our personnel from the moment they clear customs to their return to the check in desk.
Only the very best standards are acceptable to us when we employ our transport drivers and Mountain Leap has been granted an International Operators License. This is a requirement on all Companies operating airport, local transfers or taxi services. Indeed the mark of an alpine ski weekend company you can trust is whether such a license is held.
We are one of very few companies whose drivers also assist our event managers throughout a ski weekend. That means that our staff are available on call to run simpe errands eg finding a Blackberry charger or meeting a passenger whose flight details have changed and then assist you in entertaining your guests throughout the event.
At Mountain Leap, we thrive on earning your trust and then building upon it, time and again.

A blind Doncaster child is a real life Batman – and is learning to see using sound.
Mason Dzora, aged six, has undergone training from American echolocation expert Daniel Tish to help him grow independently in a sighted world.
He has already started 'seeing' objects around him.
Echolocation, or flashsonar as Daniel calls it, is the method of locating objects by determining the time for an echo to return and the direction from which it returns, as by radar or sonar.
It is the same technique used by bats to navigate and hunt prey in the dark.
Schoolboy Mason, of Blake Avenue, Wheatley, is being taught to use his own clicking sound to hear what is around him – just as you would know you entered an empty room because it would be more echoey.
He is only the fourth child in the UK to be taught the technique by Daniel's organisation.
Devoted mum Lorraine, 44, said: "It is mind-blowing to see how far he has come in these short days. Just think what his future will hold.
"Daniel was testing Mason by putting plates around him for him to find and he was locating them, it was astounding."
Mason was born blind – he has a condition called Leber's congenital amaurosis.
Parents Lorraine, who is now his full-time carer, and dad Mark, 41, an HGV driver, were devastated when Mason was diagnosed at eight months old.
Mum-of-six Lorraine said: "I started Googling the condition and scared myself to death, there were lots of scare stories about late development.
"I blamed myself for what had happened to him and we had quite a difficult couple of years coming to terms with him being blind."
But Mason is the youngest of six, his older siblings are Natassja, 20, twins Peter and Michael, 18, and twins Marc and Paul, 13, and he had to fit right into the family.
Lorraine said: "There wasn't much special treatment for Mason. He gets treated as a normal six-year-old boy.
"I realise he is far too intelligent to live a life stuck to my side, I want to give him his independence. I want to see him going to school on the school bus with his mates, not with me holding his hand."
The couple first heard of Daniel Tish when Mason's Visual Impairment teacher told them about a talk he was doing locally.
Daniel has been named Batman because of his technique, which means he makes a quiet clicking noise as he walks, checking out his environment.
It is this skill which allows him to avoid objects to walk in a crowd or cycle down a road. Daniel says cars are easy to avoid as they rebound sound well.
Daniel said: "Mason is doing really well. He began looking and detecting objects within 10 minutes of starting the programme. That's very very fast."

Over the last 18 months, Chennai has witnessed its worst flooding, a violent cyclone, a scorching summer, a drought, and a calamitous fire. All events are linked by some common threads — our collective disregard for safety; our inability to appreciate the long-term consequences of bad planning; political expediency; and our misplaced priorities that make us undervalue open unbuilt spaces. The mistakes of our past are catching up with us. But we don't need to continue making those mistakes.
The Ennore Creek spreads over about 8000 acres. Of this, 1090 acres of wetland area has been lost to encroachments. Another 300 acres of Creek has been damaged by flyash from North Chennai Thermal Power Station's leaky flyash pipelines. The existing encroachments have drastically altered contours by raising the level of the reclaimed land by up to 15 metres above sea level.
Kamarajar Port wants to convert an additional 1000 acres of wetland into real estate. As you read this, the Port is dumping dredged sand into newly constructed bunds to create a coal yard on 280 acres of the Creek. TANGEDCO is dumping sand and debris to block the Creek and the Kosasthalaiyar to build a coal conveyor for the ETPS power plants. TANGEDCO already has a railway line to transport coal from the port to the power plant. Why the cash-strapped TANGEDCO is constructing an expensive conveyor belt with money it does not have is anybody's guess.
That is the bad news. But there is good news. Only 15 percent of the Creek has been encroached upon. Saving the remaining 7000 acres is a definite possibility. Arresting all further diversion of the Ennore wetlands, and reversing the encroachments wherever possible will vastly improve the region's resilience to extreme weather events such as storms/cyclones, heavy rainfall and water scarcity. Such an action will be in line with the law and our obligations to future generations.
This is a mission that we all can – as individuals, communities and governments – engage ourselves in with a sense of shared purpose.
Ennore Creek without Encroachments 1996
Ennore Creek Encroached 2017
The Creek
The Ennore Creek is bound on the north by the Pulicat Lake and to the south by the Manali marshlands. The worst encroached portion is also the most critical in terms of maintaining the hydrology of the region.
The Creek drains the Arani River, a portion of Lake Pulicat, the Kosasthalaiyar and the surplus course of the Puzhal Lake through the estuary at Mugatwarakuppam.
The Kosasthalaiyar has a catchment of 3757 square kilometres – more than double the combined catchment area of the Adyar and Cooum rivers. The Arani River drains about 1535 square kilometres. With a peak discharge of 125,000 cusecs, Kosasthalaiyar alone can drain more water into the Bay of Bengal than Adyar and Cooum put together.
Of the four estuaries draining Chennai – namely, Kovalam, Adyar, Cooum and Ennore – it is Ennore Creek that evacuates the largest volume of water. Four assembly constituencies – Ponneri, Madhavaram, R.K. Nagar and Thiruvotriyur – stand to be affected by floods if the Creek is compromised. If an Adyar flood brought us to our knees, a Kosasthalaiyar flood can cripple the city.
Ennore Creek can protect us against floods, storms and cyclones and seawater's intrusion into groundwater. That is why it deserves to be declared and protected as a Climate Sanctuary. There is much empty talk about climate resilient cities. In Ennore, the Government of Tamil Nadu and the city of Chennai have an opportunity to show the world how cities can actually be made climate resilient.
The Law
The Ennore Creek is a protected wetland under the Wetland Rules, 2010. Reclamation or setting up of new industries or expansion of existing industries is prohibited within protected wetlands.
The Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notifications of 1991 and 2011 too apply to the Creek, which is a tidal waterbody. The Government of India-approved Coastal Zone Management Plan, based on which all projects for CRZ clearance should be appraised, declares the entire Creek as CRZ 1 (ecologically sensitive) – a No Development Zone. Indeed, when the CZMP was approved in 1996, the Creek was free of encroachments. (See Annexure 4 – Google Earth 1996)
But, the CZMP was given a quiet burial, and projects allowed to encroach the Creek. Each encroachment is built by dumping earth or construction debris on water to create land that is anywhere between 15 and 45 feet (5 to 15 metres) above the originally prevailing contour levels. While these encroachments eat into the spread of the Creek, flyash spills from
TANGEDCO's North Chennai Thermal Power Station have silted up deep water areas of the creek and reduced the depth of the creek from 14 feet below sea level to 2 to 4 feet. Despite orders from Madras High Court and National Green Tribunal, TANGEDCO continues to dump toxic flyash into the creek.
The Impacts
The encroachments have reduced the depth and the spread of the Ennore Creek. Once a famed fishing ground with a rich diversity of commercially valuable fish, prawns and crab, the Ennore Creek is gasping for life. Fishing economy has been badly hit, and once self-sufficient fisherfolk families in Mugatwarakuppam, Sivanpadai Kuppam and Kattukuppam have been reduced to poverty.
In December 2015, areas like Kuruvimedu, Athipattu, Athipattu Pudunagar, Ernavur, Manali New Town, Kodungaiyur, Vyasarpadi, Tondiarpet, Korukkupet — located in the assembly constituencies of Madhavaram, Ponneri, R.K. Nagar and Thiruvottiyur — were badly affected by floodwaters because of the encroachments in Ennore Creek.
Storm Surges:
In December 2016, Cyclone Vardah made landfall in the Ennore region. The resultant storm surge of more than 1 metre above the astronomic tide inundated low-lying areas in the region. Normally, the Creek is the first shock absorber to deter the storm surge. But with its water carrying capacity vastly reduced, the Creek's ability to absorb storm shocks has also declined. As the encroachment continues, storm surges will send seawater deep into the hinterland through the rivers, streams and channels and inundate areas that have never before experienced flooding due to tidal surges.
Salinity or Seawater Intrusion:
The AK-basin, or the area between Araniyar and Kosasthalaiyar, is a groundwater-rich area. Metrowater has six well-fields – Minjur, Panjeti, Thamaraipakkam, Poondi, Kannagiper and Floodplains — that yield upto 100 million litres per day of water for Chennai during water-scarce times such as now. The AK-basin is witnessing aggressive salinity intrusion. This will worsen as sea levels rise due to climate change.
Because the Creek stretches about 16 km in a north-south direction, tidal and storm surges are spread parallel to the coast rather than deep inland through rivers, streams and channels. The Ennore Creek's western edges – which are the areas that have been and are being encroached – are salt marshes and abandoned salt pans. Compromising the creek will aggravate salinity intrusion and endanger Chennai's water sources. Instead, if the western edges of the Creek are used to harvest rainwater, we can strengthen our defences against seawater intrusion.
If cared for well, the Ennore Creek can become India's first "climate sanctuary" — a human biosphere project or conservation reserve where multiple livelihood, ecological and climate adaptation objectives are accommodated.
Restoring the river to its original depth, recovering what can be recovered of its spread, and preventing further encroachment can yield significant dividends. This is doable and should be done.
The State administration is already aware of the importance of the Creek; many within the administration are keen to protect the Creek. Their hand needs to be strengthened. Citizens need to speak up to say that we cannot afford to lose more of our wetlands, not after all that has happened to us in the last 18 months.
Write to the Chief Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu (Email: firstname.lastname@example.com) urging her to do the following:
a) Declare Ennore Creek as a "Climate Sanctuary" and a No Construction Zone.
b) Prohibit any further encroachment; identify and remove existing encroachments.
d) Develop and execute a detailed ecological restoration plan for the Creek.
e) Restore Creek to its original depth in consultation with fisherfolk and at the expense of the polluters..
f) Protect sand dunes and natural features of the CRZ 1 areas on the Kattupally barrier island, and halt all commercial groundwater extraction ongoing in Kattupally Barrier Island.

Police were deployed in Aberdeenshire towns for the final weekend before Christmas and reported low levels of violence.
As part of the festive 'Safer Streets' campaign, there was a visible policing presence throughout the division in towns including Banchory, Inverurie, Stonehaven, Laurencekirk, Huntly, Banff, Ellon, Elgin, Buckie Fraserburgh, Peterhead, and Forres.
Police were joined by 13 special constables over the weekend who volunteered for over 100 hours of duty.
As part of Police Scotland's 'partnership working approach' a number of licenced premises, including The Stag in Banchory, were visited throughout the weekend by police and officers from the licencing standards department of Aberdeenshire Council.
Inspector Rob Sturton, from the Alcohol and Violence Reduction Unit (AVRU) said: "Licenced premises are expected to remain busy over the coming days and our partnership working approach continues to ensure that Aberdeenshire and Moray is a safe place to enjoy the festive season.
"It is encouraging that there were no serious assaults reported over the last weekend and we will have high-visibility patrols out throughout the festive period to deter and detect those involved in violence."

It has been so strange to give myself this space in my studio. I rarely allow it and it has been and is a strange and scary thing. I really have stripped away the pressure to make anything. Much like my first year of graduate school I am just spending a lot of time sitting in my studio, looking at stuff, reading stuff, fingering through books.
I feel a little scared as I don't have that pressure in the back of my head to perform, to make, to BE productive but I also don't feel stuck. I feel a bit more like I am floating. Not treading water, not swimming, not drowning. Just floating.
It is an unfamiliar place to be with my work. My "self" as an artist as a person. But perhaps the unfamiliar is what makes it so interesting.

This page is about the relationship between the three main characters of Vampire Knight: Kaname Kuran, Yuki Kuran, and Zero Kiryu.
Yuki has love for both Kaname and Zero in different ways[1] and they both love her, but Yuki is partially Kaname's sister. Kaname and Zero have a fundamental antagonism towards each other because they are inherently archenemies. Kaname occasionally expresses a little jealousy over Yuki's attachment to Zero in front of Yuki.
Yuki has loved Kaname ever since she was a child during her human life because he was her first memory when he saved her from a Level E Vampire during a blizzard. When it was discovered that she was a Pureblood Vampire, it is also revealed that Kaname is her older brother and that they had pledged to marry each other to be like their parents, who were also siblings. Currently, she is his fiancee. As a human, she fell in love with him and Zero constantly reminds her that she cannot be with Kaname because Kaname is a pureblood vampire. She also has a strong attachment to Zero, which helps her overcome her fear of being bitten so that she can offer her own blood to him in the form of a "forbidden act." Their bond is so strong that Kaname does not kill him, in concern for Yuki's emotions afterwards.
In the aftermath of the Shizuka incident, Zero asks Yuki what he means to her. Yuki has no response for him, and never truly answers his question. Kaname soon after confesses his love for her, and she later agrees to become Kaname's lover in exchange for information about her past. One night, when Zero goes to Yuki's room, she suddenly tries to strangle Zero (due to her hallucinations), and she was shocked as Zero didn't struggle to escape her hands that were strangling him. She says to Zero that he was the victim, that she only used him to make herself feel better about her lost past. Zero tells her that the one she needs is Kaname, not him, but says that why does Yuki's argument sounds like he is the one she needs. Shortly after, Kaname turns her back into a vampire, revealing that he is her older brother and are betrothed. Yuki and Kaname argue over whether or not they should leave during Rido's attack on the academy, and Yuki convinces Kaname to let her go with a kiss, promising to return to him when she is done. Together with Zero, they fight and kill her uncle, Rido Kuran.
After the death of Rido, Zero declares Yuki his enemy, though he admits that she's done nothing wrong. When Kaname arrives on the scene, Zero shifts his attention to him, they threatened one another until Yuki runs between them. Kaname admits that he has the desire to kill Zero but cannot stand the idea of Yuki hating him. He walks away telling Yuki that she knows where she belongs. Yuki confesses to Zero that the old Yuki he knows and the "new her" are merging, and that her mind is filled with the desire to drink only Kaname's blood. Zero admits that his own desire is to drink only Yuki's blood and devour her life. He bites her and then kisses her for the first time.
While parting, Zero makes sure Yuki is already free of her worries and fears, then says she should be with the man who will live as long as her, and if they ever cross paths again, he will kill her. Yuki declares she will run away from him forever, so he will live on, and they part. Before she leaves with Kaname, she realizes the reasons behind his actions from the past four years and decides to lock part of her heart that is connected to Zero away. Afterwards, Yuki cries over the loss of Zero, and actually says she didn't want to be separated as enemies. Furthermore, she says that she "wasn't the right person for him". Yuki rejoins Kaname at the Kuran mansion and he tells her that he understands that half her heart belongs to Zero and that he is fine with that since she is by his side. Yuki doesn't believe that Kaname can be happy with simply that but doesn't press the issue.
During the one year time skip, Yuki is kept inside the house while she deals with her inability to bite and desperate hunger. Yuki finally admits that Zero is also in her heart, thus her hunger/thirst cannot be quench by Kaname alone. Yuki then asks if its alright for her to stay by Kaname's side.[2] Kaname readily agrees since Yuki wants to be with him always. He impresses upon her that he cannot be without her and would rather die which Yuki agreed saying that she also feels the same way towards him. Yuki later apologizes for what she said and that she can clearly see her path.
Prior to the ball, Kaname expresses a little jealousy over Yuki's trust in Zero to do his duty, but is fine with Yuki meeting up with Zero. During the ball, Yuki attempts to stop a fight breaking out between Zero and Sara over Yori. Zero lashes out at her, and takes Yori away before she can speak much to either of them. Later that evening, Yuki finds Zero and Kaien standing over the dead body of a dead Hunter girl. When Zero tries to shut her down, she firmly declares that she will find the culprit before Kaname interrupts and sends her home.
Yuki decides after the ball to offer her services to the other purebloods as a grim reaper of sorts—mostly due to Kaname telling her about the fates of vampires as well as her memories of both Kaname and Zero placing their lives in her hands. After meeting the first Pureblood on the list, she decides to take a short stop to visit a grave. Aido tags along so he can protect her.
At the graveyard entrance, the Pureblood Toma attacks her, and afterward Zero appears. He fends off Touma, and then carries Yuki to a hunter safe-house when she faints. Yuki, half-conscious, nearly bites Zero, but stops herself. In shock, she asks Kaname's bats to take her home, leaving Zero alone with Aido.Following the near-bite incident, Kaname tells Yuki that she was good in that she refrained from biting Zero and drains quite a bit of her blood. He then reveals to her that he is her ancestor, not her brother, and proceeds to have her dig deep into his memories to learn about his true self by having her drink so much blood.
Yuki, after learning about Kaname's past, informs him that though she now fully knows who and what he is, she would like to restart with him. Kaname agrees, and then heads out on a mysterious errand, despite Yuki begging him not to go. Yuki chases after him, only to arrive just as he executes Aido's father Nagamichi. Kaname cryptically informs Yuki that, although he wavered over the time he spent with her, he has chosen to execute his original plan. He apologizes and thanks her, then vanishes.
Yuki tries to give chase but is stopped by Kaien Cross, her adopted father, who takes her back to the Hunter's Association. There, she decides to follow after Kaname once she's established herself among the vampires. She restarts the Night Class in an attempt to form allies while worrying over Zero falling to Level E again.
While trying to catch a vampire, she traps him with her scythe, Artemis, until the vampire's girlfriend appears with a knife on Yuki's neck. Zero then appears with the Bloody Rose, shoots and finishes the vampire off. His girlfriend abruptly faints onto the ground. Zero then states that she should make him submit to her with the bracelet that she is still wearing. Later, Maria interrogates Yuki with the question that she doesn't want Zero anymore and claims that she will snatch Zero away one day. In response, Yuki says nothing.
At the end of the third arc, Yuki is found behind Kaname, holding her scythe. Kaname and Yuki fight and in order to make them stop fighting, Ruka created an illusion for Yuki and Yuki fainted afterwards. Kaname headed to where Sara was.In the final chapter, when Kaname threw his heart into the furnace in order to succeed as the next parent to create new and more anti - vampire weapons for the Vampire Hunters, Kaname says to Zero and Yuki that they belong together and hugged them both close to him before he lost his consciousness. After the war and a thousand years later, it was seen that Zero and Yuki ended up together. They had two children, an older daughter and a younger daughter, older one being Kaname's daughter. After a thousand years, Yuki was seen visiting Zero's family grave and she left the fragments of the Bloody Rose in there, for Zero had already turned to dust because he's not a pureblood after all. While reminiscing her memories of Zero, she said that though they had a lot of quarrels, Zero made her happy. Afterwards, she went where Kaname's body was kept, and decided to awaken him as a human so that he can experience the happiness he had been longing for as a human and have a happy human life. She sacrificed her life in the process, giving him her heart and left her children with Kaname. She also left a message to Kaname, to whom she loved wishing that his thirst will finally be quenched.
- Yuki, Kaname, and Zero are similar to the love triangle between King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, and Sir Lancelot.

Lococycle, the next nutty game from Twisted Pixel, is a launch title for Xbox One. It will be a available day one on the new Xbox Live Marketplace. At an unspecified date, LocoCycle will also release on Xbox 360 as an Xbox Live Arcade game, as originally announced.
We enjoyed LocoCycle quite a bit when last we saw its karate-kicking motorcycle and Spanish-speaking sidekick, Pablo, but it looks like we were wrong in guessing LocoCycle would lead Summer of Arcade 2013. IGN will have more on LocoCycle next week as the team embarks to E3 to see the next generation of gaming.

Toronto Zoo
Associated Buzz Creative participated in the development of the Toronto Zoo's new Tundra Trek, the first phase of a multi-phased interpretive design project in the redevelopment of the exhibits of the zoo's North Site.
The project encompassed redevelopment of the existing polar bear exhibit—a new home for orphaned polar bear twins Aurora and Nikita—and the addition of other sub-Arctic exhibits to the site. The area becomes the sixth region of the zoo, and showcases a variety of Arctic animals including reindeer, snowy owls, Arctic foxes, and Arctic wolves.
The exhibit has been built around the theme "tundra and the environment" and highlights the impact the tundra has on the lives of Canadians. The new state-of-the-art exhibits for all animals provide extra space for potential breeding, with the new polar bear exhibit expanding to three times its former size.
Associated Buzz Creative provided sound design services for interactive visitor exhibits.

These tires came on my 2013 Subaru Legacy. I have over 55,000 miles on them and they still have lots of tread left. I'm only looking at new tires because I have a big nail in one of the tires and recently it has started leaking air. I've never had any traction issues with them and drive hilly, curvy roads to work every day in Northern Ohio where snow is a regular occurrence.

These tires came with my car. They are good in rainy weather. But in the snow they are not very good. When they start wearing down they lose their traction in wet weather.

Great tire. Drive a lot of work related highway miles and never experienced any issues with these tires. The snow traction was very good for the little time that I have actually had to drive in the snow. It doesn't snow much in Tennessee.

These tires have a rather short life: 40K mi/5 years. Spins when soft start from red light when raining. Fishtailed once in wet light snow.
Very good dry traction and cornering.
1.55 out of 5Submitted by Chris in Ontario on 4/13/2014(2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium)
Worst tires I have ever owned. Came new with my car and two of them are constantly vibrating, even after road force balancing. Stay far away from these.
3.7 out of 5Submitted by Kathleen in Nebraska on 12/10/2013(2011 Toyota Camry XLE)
Well performing tire, however, I expected better traction in snow. I wouldn't buy them again because although I took care of them (rotated, balanced, kept inflation proper, etc.), I feel as though once I hit 40K, they went downhill fast. Hence, I am shopping!
2.45 out of 5Submitted by Hans in Pennsylvania on 10/23/2013(2011 Mazda 3 i Touring)
These tires are the original tires that came with my vehicle. At 35,000 miles, they have not worn uniformly even with all the proper rotation. The steel belts have shifted in the rear tires and after talking to Mazda, there is nothing about my vehicle that would cause them to do so and I have not hit any major potholes. The road noise has become very loud due to this. Other than that, the dry road traction and response is above average. The wet and wintery conditions have me feeling shaky at best due to the spinning out on steep hills before getting traction with good tread still on the fronts. The price is great for what you get, but be careful in bad conditions with these tires. Like in any review, just my opinion.

Hello everyone,
I hope that you have had a good week. Well I have been complete Casing Claire Daly this week. I thought I should try some male cards as I mostly love doing flower cards and sadly neglecting the male cards of any kind I suppose. Well I have just gotten the set Seaworthy from Stampin' Up which I had had my eye on for a while and finally bit the bullet and bought it. I am really happy with the results as well. They are totally the same as Claire's designs but sometimes I think if it ain't broke don't fix it. Well here they are, hope you like them.
for this one I have used Baja Breeze, Night of Navy, River Rock, and whisper white card stock. Vera Mark, Baja Breeze, Night of Navy ink. White embossing powder, antique eyelets, hemp twine, crop-a-dile, and the heat gun. The back ground stamp is linen.
This card again using the seaworthy set and the whimsical words set uses baja breeze, river rock and whisper white card stock, chocolate chip DSP, river rock ribbon, choclate chip ink and if you look really close a couple of markers on the water and boat.
These 2 cards I just love again cased from Claire. I have used night of navy, river rock, baja breeze and whisper white card stock, Urban garden dsp antique jumbo eyelets. On one card I used the baja breeze ink and the other night of navy. The background stamp is linen and is in river rock ink.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look at what I have been up to.

Finding Storage Space
By Nikki Willhite
Many of
us are very concerned right now about putting up food and
other items we might need in case of an emergency. Finding
adequate storage in our homes can be a challenge.
Most homes have storage space that is not being used, either up
high or down low. One of the keys to utilizing storage space is
to put items you use on a regular basis in easily accessible
areas, and putting other items in the harder to reach areas.
Here are some
tips for making the most of the storage space in your home
Place big plastic drawers or boxes in cupboards that are hard
to reach. When you need an item, you can just pull out the
whole unit, and nothing gets lost where you can't reach it. If
the cupboard is up high, be sure the items are light enough that
you don't hurt yourself pulling them out or if they fall down.
Remove decorative panels on top of kitchen cupboards so that
you can take advantage of the space on top. However, be sure the
area is clear and without vents.
Add shelves around the tops of rooms. This is great for kids
rooms. They can display dolls and toys that they want to keep,
but no longer want to play with.
Utilize the space under your beds. Many people feel
uncomfortable with low storage- thinking the lower you go, the
less sanitary the storage. If you feel that way, you can always
buy storage containers made specifically to fit under the bed
that seal up tightly.
Make mini open shelving between the studs in the walls of your
home. If you have an empty wall in your kitchen, this is great
for storing spices and other narrow items. If you don't want
open shelving, you can add doors.
Your interior walls are usually framed with 2x4 pieces of lumber.
If you remove the wallboard (be sure it isn't plaster), you have
all the space until you hit the back of the wallboard of the room
on the other side.
Again, before you attempt this project, make sure that the space
behind the wallboard is free of wires or vents.
Be creative. Blankets can be stored in pillow shams or pillow
cases. Trunks and suitcases can be used as tables. Fabric skirts
around tables and sinks are another area to place items. Decorate
cardboard boxes for display, and use them to store small items.
Use your garage and attic. Keep your items in boxes and number
them. Generate a list on your computer of what you have stored in
each box.
Finally, take a good look in your closets. Most closets have a
lot of wasted space. Think about buying or making a closet system
to take advantage of every square inch of your closet.
You have more storage space in your home than you think. Take a
closer look and you will find it.

GBP/INR Exchange Rate Forecast to Edge Higher after India Agrees to Purchase 36 Rafale Fighter Jets from France
Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) Exchange Rate Forecast to Edge Higher despite Mixed UK CBI Data
The Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) exchange rate ticked higher by around 0.2% on Monday afternoon.
If you're looking to make an international money transfer, we recommend TorFX.
With the exception of some emerging-market assets and most commodity-correlated assets, the Pound softened versus its major peers today. The depreciation can be linked to mixed results from Confederation of British Industry (CBI) data. Whilst January's CBI Business Optimism improved from -12 to -4, and January's CBI trends Selling Prices gained from -2 to 1, January's CBI Trends Total Orders declined beyond expectations from -7 to -15.
Rain Newton-Smith, the CBI's director of economics, said: 'Manufacturers have seen a flat start to 2016. But while we have seen real problems in some industries in the last few months, there are signs that orders and production are stabilising overall. Uncertainty around the prospects for global growth, uncompetitive energy costs and the strength of the Pound have all played their part in UK manufacturers finding conditions tough when trying to sell overseas.'
The Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) exchange rate is currently trending in the region of 96.5380.
Indian Rupee to Pound Sterling (INR/GBP) Conversion Rate Predicted to Edge Lower despite Falling Crude Prices
After Saudi Arabia announced that oil production will remain at current levels irrespective of global oversupply, the price of crude declined considerably. Adding to crude headwinds was a report that showed Chinese demand for diesel cooled for the fourth consecutive month. India is one of the world's foremost crude oil importers so falling prices usually coincides with a Rupee appreciation. However, news today that India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has struck a deal with France to purchase 36 Rafale fighter jects has weighed on Rupee gains. The defence deal being hashed out is one of the world's largest and is likely to cost India a great deal.
'We have completed an inter-governmental agreement for the purchase of 36 Rafales, with the exception of the financial aspects,' Mr Modi said after meeting Mr Hollande. India is intent on purchasing 126 jets in total for an estimated cost of £8.2 billion.
'France and India are two great democracies… therefore we are prime targets for terrorists who cannot abide liberty, democracy or culture. We must therefore co-operate more on security,' Mr Hollande said on Sunday.
The Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) exchange rate dropped to a low of 96.2730 during Monday's European session.
Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) Exchange Rate Forecast: UK Q4 GDP in Focus
Given the complete absence of Indian economic data until Friday, Rupee trade this week will be subject to market sentiment, oil prices and geopolitical developments. The Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) exchange rate is most likely to see volatility this week in response to Thursday's UK fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product data. Friday's Indian Foreign Reserves and Government Budget Value data will be closely watched by those trading with the Rupee.
The Pound Sterling to Indian Rupee (GBP/INR) exchange rate climbed to a high of 96.8020 during Monday's European session.
