text: Givenchy is to designers what Bethann Hardison is to models: one of fashion's leading champions of diversity. When we heard that Riccardo Tisci had chosen Erykah Badu as his leading lady in the spring/summer 2014 campaign there were imaginary fist pumps all round. But now that we've seen the full series of ads, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, it just gets better. Tisci is a real example to his peers of how to take the race issue and run with it: he's thrown every creative tool he has at fashion's most red hot topic in a way that isn't forced. The girls in the campaign (including Asia Chow, Maria Borges and Eboni Riley) — and that one white man (Dominik) – make sense with his clothes and we hope it's a success other designers will endeavour to imitate.

What will you find in this post?
- Announcement about weekly menu chart
- Recipe for a healthy snack (gluten free and vegan)
- Travel list for your family – pdf here
A very BIG hi, Namaste and Vanakkam to all,
A heart felt warm welcome to all the new subscribers from Spices and Aroma family. I have been discussing in various facebook groups about ways to make our life easy and stress-free (with regards to cooking) for 2015. I have started to work on them and as a first step, I have created a list for essential ingredients that I feel is a must in every kitchen. Once we all have the same set of spices, lentils and rice varieties in the cabinets, it will become easy to refer to the chart, shop for the fresh produce and dairy for the week and keep going with the cooking without any interruptions. I will be sending out the ingredients list on 23rd Dec, Tuesday (before 12:00 AM Pacific Time) before I step out for our Christmas break.
I am also working on creating first menu plan which will go out on Jan 4th, Friday (12:00 AM – Pacific Time). I have taken all the suggestions, feedbacks and requests from you. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I shall create a vegetarian menu plan for the first two weeks in Jan (including North and South Indian food ideas) and slowly introduce non-vegetarian recipes (but I promise to give vegetarian substitutions). The dropbox link to the pdf copies will be attached to my emails. So please make sure to download the attachment, print and stick it on your fridge.
Please note that:
1. Spices and Aroma will send two posts in a week (Tuesday and Friday nights (Pacific Time)
2. On Fridays, you will be receiving menu chart for the week along with shopping list and recipe links to the dishes.
Thanks for joining me to welcome 2015 with the following ideas:
1. Get more organized in the kitchen so I spend more time with my family.
2. Save time by not thinking what to cook or stare at the fridge right before meal time.
3. Cook with seasonal produce. I will be sharing recipes with ingredients found in the farmer's market each week.
4. Eat more vegetables and fruits in 2015
5. Spend our precious time to cook smart (dump all the ingredients and cook in one go) by using:
5.1. Pressure cooker
5.2. Slow cooker
6. Entertain and serve yummy meals to our friends and family in a more efficient and happy mood.
That's all. Sounds easy right!
I am sure that you are all busy with your Christmas shopping, packing and gifting your loved ones. Incase you are looking to make DIY personalized gifts for your family/friends/colleague, do check my post below. These are such awesome projects to do with your kids.
Before I sign off I want to share with my awesome readers a pdf of travel list (dropboxlink provided below). I know many busy moms like me would try to pack everything but we will find something missing when you open the bags at the hotel. This list is a summary of what I pack for my family when we go on domestic trips. All you have to do this print it, check mark what is in the bag and what is not in the bags. Right before you leave fold the completed sheet of paper and keep it in your handbag so you can reuse it when you pack again at the hotel.
If you want to receive these updates and pdf files please subscribe for my page here.
Happy holidays and have a great Christmas break.

The WWE Experience, is a television program produced by WWE, Inc. which recaps events taking place on WWE Raw, and WWE SmackDown that started in May 2004.
The show was originally hosted by Todd Grisham and Ivory. The setting was outdoors and usually around New York City. When WWE programming moved to the USA Network during September 2005, The WWE Experience was canceled in America to later be replaced with WWE A.M. RAW, but the show continued to be produced for the overseas audience. The filming was moved to the WWE studios in Stamford, Connecticut under the excuse that Grisham hated to film in the rain. Ivory was released from WWE a few weeks before the cancellation of the show in the US. In July 2006, Todd Grisham was replaced as host by Josh Mathews. On air, Matthews reportedly said, "No reason, Todd's gone, [Josh is] here, deal with it". After Josh Mathews became a commentator on ECW, he was replaced by Jack Korpela.

In an effort to bring a new set of consumers on board, luxury car maker BMW recently launched its least expensive name-plate — the BMW X1. The sports utility vehicle (SUV), available in both diesel and petrol variants, will retail in the price range of Rs 22 to Rs 29.9 lakh. With its portfolio of over 10 sedans and SUVs, the company has established a stronghold in the Indian passenger car market. Pinc Research auto analyst Vineet Hetamasaria says: "BMW's overall sale has recorded 50 per cent growth in the last year, with premium and luxury car segment witnessing 74 per cent growth".
Automobile analysts reckon the launch is well-timed as the luxury passenger car segment in India (which includes models priced over Rs 15 lakh) is growing at over 50 per cent. Adds PricewaterhouseCoopers Leader (auto practice) Abdul Majeed: "While the overall volumes in the premium and luxury segment are still low, as people upgrade their lifestyle, the demand for aspirational products will increase." Hence, car makers like BMW in order to stay relevant to a larger section of the population will have to operate in multiple segments. Majeed believes the X1 will allow BMW to de-risk its business model and help grab a larger market share.
With its aggressive price tag, the BMW X1 will not only target customers from luxury car manufacturers like Mercedes and Audi, but also find buyers in consumers who are looking to upgrade from a Toyota Fortuner or a Hyundai Santa Fe, which are available at lower price tags. "BMW scores much higher than others on brand equity and this puts it in an advantageous position compared to other car makers," explains an analyst at a leading bank who wishes to stay anonymous. Hetamasaria also feels the launch will allow BMW to tap consumers early in their buying cycle, who can later upgrade to premium models of the company like X3 and X5.
Prior to the launch, the company had showcased the car at the 20-odd dealerships across the country to gauge the demand. "During the exclusive previews, the consumer interest generated was extremely high. Since launch, production for the next four months has already been sold," claims a company official.
While the BMW brand might have a strong pull on the demand side, it has to ensure their production capacity is in line with the demand, explain analysts. "In the past, certain manufacturers like Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Fortuner had stopped taking bookings due to capacity constraints. If BMW's production is in place, it can pull customers from competing OEMs," adds the analyst. However, success will depend on how well BMW manages delivery times as long waiting periods often dissuade consumers from purchasing a product. Company officials, however, claim their production is in place and the Chennai plant has the capacity to make 8,000 cars a year.
Toyota has reopened the bookings for the Fortuner, and is focused on increasing distribution. "We expanded our dealer strength with the launch of the Etios (sedan), and the Fortuner too can leverage this network," says Toyota Kirloskar Motors Deputy Managing Director (marketing) Sandeep Singh.
Analysts believe that while the BMW X1 might be a good car in terms of design and price, the company needs to focus on establishing a bigger footprint outside the metros to deliver after-sale service, since the new price point will find buyers in areas beyond just the metros.

Inside Edition reporter sets up car break-in decoy (which is broken into), has their company vehicle broken into as well.
Progressive-run San Francisco has many, many problems. I've chronicled many of them on our site. See the following:
- Liberal utopia of San Francisco: Feces, needles and drugs, oh my!
- Liberal utopia of San Francisco hires staff to clean up feces off their streets
- Tourists shocked by what they see on San Francisco streets
- Liberal utopia: Homeless given free pass to terrorize citizens
Turns out they have a major problem with car break-ins, also called "smash and grabs."
According to a report earlier this year from KQED, San Francisco had more than 30,000 car break-ins reported last year. The number of break-ins has tripled since 2010.
The police say that the break-ins are a form of organized crime committed by "crews."
Breaking into a car is a felony and if a criminal steals items worth over $950 it's a second felony. You can go to jail for a maximum of three years for each felony. Problem is, they can't catch people multiple times so they never do extended time for their crimes.
According to the report, police are trying to catch repeat offenders via "bundling," where they track crimes someone commits over time. A case based on multiple incidents is more likely to result in a conviction.
Despite their efforts, the police barely make a dent in the numbers. An arrest is made in only 2 percent of the total break-ins reported.
Along with "bundling," the city is trying to help with the crime spree by setting up a web site and telephone line to report break-ins and one officer from each of the city's 12 police stations will focus on break-ins.
According to a SF Chronicle report earlier this year, the city's actions will have no effect because there really are no consequences for the criminals.
A local woman has described the "smash-and-grab" crime as anarchy. Every day, thieves break into cars on her block, with no consequence. "There's no risk," she said. "Why would they stop?"
Police respond to complaints, take a report and usually say that nothing can be done. Noted one man, "They (the police) shrugged. They see it all the time. Some cops take it real personal. Others come, and they're just going through the motions."
That "going through the motions" seems to be what is happening in many west coast, progressive run cities these days.

Unless and until you have credibility, a rapport or a value for your brand in the market you will not be able to outshine. This is the reason even big players continuously keep working upon building their brand value and fight competition.
A well-defined brand is what differentiates an amateur from a pro. It is not all that easy, but fret not. In this article, I will guide you through the branding tips for small business owners and new businesses.
|What techniques to use for Branding your Newly Opened Business?
Business Branding Tips for Startups
1. Name and Logo
2. A Professional Website
3. Vision for Your Brand
Creating a defined vision for your brand is very important to create a unique differentiated idea in the mind of the customers. You need to keep the customers bound at different points to have them a clear idea about your goals and core purpose.
4. Personify Your Brand
Find an authentic personality who resonate with your brand vision and give a face to your brand. It helps people to relate to your brand and imagine it in real life use of your product and/or services.
5. Humanize Your Brand
Humanizing the brands give the customers a positive feeling about it. They feel more connected. Humanizing means you open up your doors to let the customers in and connect with them at different levels to give them a complete feeling of security.
6. Marketing Materials
Get all the marketing collaterals made keeping in mind the taste of the market. Brands usually come up with different designs for different regions in which they operate. The theme and design should be able to connect to the regional ecosystem to get noticed more.
7. Network and Network
Network as much as you can. Reach out to the influencers and famous personalities in you industry and try to build rapport with them. You can do it through various personal mediums, however, social media is universal.
8. Unique and/or Buzz
Be unique to create a buzz or create a buzz by being unique. Being different and interesting than others will automatically gain you limelight and more attention. While there are many boring things happening around and going unnoticed, it does no good to any brand.

11. PR and Media
12. Go Global but Don't miss Local
Keep your expanding goals high and don't miss out the global or national markets whichever you are targeting but don't lose hold of the regional market. Participate in local events happening in your city and keep the influencers in your region in your loop.
13. Collaborate, Associate and/or Sponsor
Collaborate with related agencies for cross promotions. Associate your brand for good causes or charitable events, etc. Sponsor charitable events and other events and shows which can help you get mileage. Weigh and analyse the worth of events before you invest.

Origami is often used as a form of graphic art in web, print, and television advertising. If you have an idea of what you want folded, I can fold it for you. If you are not exactly sure what you want, have a look in the gallery for some ideas. Usage fees apply, and their magnitude depends on the form of exclusivity desired. Pricing is specific for each job.
All of the pieces displayed in the gallery are for sale. If the one you are interested in has already been sold, or is currently committed to an exhibition, I can fold another for you. Keep in mind that every origami sculpture is handmade. You will not receive an exact replica, but a unique, one of a kind sculpture. If you are interested in a new design I can accommodate special requests as well.
Origami books are a great way to learn and enjoy origami. I have a lot of experience illustrating and designing models for origami books, whether they be for novices or advanced folders. If you are interested in collaborating on a project, please contact me.
I have taught origami around the world, and in a number of schools in the New York area. If you would like to learn origami, or have origami taught at your institution, or at a special event, please contact me.

McFadden Brings Mental Health Message To Blenheim
By Matt Weverink, BlackburnNews.com
Good mental health is key when it comes to playing sports.
That's the message from the 2017 OHL Humanitarian player of the year Garrett McFadden.
The Guelph Storm defenceman spoke at several seminars at the Golden Acres hockey school in Blenheim over the past two weeks, sharing his personal story and teaching the young athletes about how to keep their minds as healthy as their bodies.
"The one big thing I want to focus on is staying positive," says McFadden. "To have the mind to be positive and draw the positives out of every situation is going to help you and make your life a lot easier than dealing with the hard times and the negatives."
McFadden says when it comes to teaching young athletes about mental health, it's important to start with the basics and move up from there.
"Teaching them what feeling happy and what feeling sad is like," says McFadden. "Some coping strategies here and there on how to get yourself back to feeling happy and how to turn around a day for those young minds."

Thomas Aquinas and the Five WaysSt. Thomas Aquinas (c1225-1274) is arguably the most important Catholic theologian in history. In his major work Summa Theologica, widely considered as the highest achievement of medieval systematic theology, Aquinas presented his five proofs of God's existence known as the Quinque Viae (Latin for "Five Ways"). [1] We will be presenting all the arguments in more detail a little later, at present we will give a brief rundown of all five arguments.
Thus Aquinas' five ways defined God as the Unmoved Mover, the First Cause, the Necessary Being, the Absolute Being and the Grand Designer.
It should be noted that Aquinas' arguments are based on some aspects of the sensible world. Aquinas' arguments are therefore a posteriori in nature. By contrast, Anselm's argument is based purely on an a priori definition of God. [3] Aquinas' Five Ways are based ultimately on sense experience. Sense experience can never be infallible. Thus by themselves these arguments cannot establish the existence of God with complete certainty. However, should his arguments be valid, the existence of God would be an established fact on par with many of the discoveries of modern science.
The Roman Catholic Church considers the first three ways of Aquinas (collectively called The "Cosmological Arguments" [a]) as conclusive evidence for establishing the existence of God. [4] The Catholic Church notwithstanding, we will now proceed to examine for ourselves the validity of Aquinas' arguments.
We will now see how none of the five ways prove the existence of God:
The First Way: God, the Prime MoverIn the first way, God is defined as the Prime Mover. We will let Aquinas speak for himself in explaining his first argument for the existence of God.
With the benefit of modern physics we can get rid of this argument for good. Newton's First Law states that a particle would tend to stay at rest or move in a constant velocity if no external force is applied to it. Hence it is as natural for a body to move (in a constant velocity) as it is for a body to be at rest. There is no need for a Prime Mover at all.
Aquinas' physics was, of course, based on Aristotle's, which states that the natural state of any body is to be at rest. Furthermore, the experiments done by physicists A.A. Michelson (1852-1931) and E.W. Morley (1838-1923) in 1881 (and again in 1887) showed that there was no standard and absolute frame of reference in the universe. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) used the conclusion of this experiment as one of his postulate in his Special Theory of Relativity. What this experiment and Einstein's theory showed was that there is no such thing as absolute motion. All velocities can only be given relative to something else, none of which is an absolute reference. This, of course, makes the idea of a Prime Mover absolute nonsense!
There is another, more traditional, objection to the first way. The fundamental principle in the argument is that everything which initiates change must have been initiated in some way itself. This principle, must therefore be applied to the Prime Mover as well. There is no logical reason why we should stop applying that principle at that point. This objection is conclusive. For the argument begins with an observation (that there is motion) and a fundamental principle (that every moving thing is moved by another already moving) which, at least in Thomas' philosophy, seems to be valid. Yet he postulated the existence of The Unmoved Mover that violates the argument's own fundamental premise. The irritating (to believers) question of a naturally skeptical child sums up the main problem with the first way: If God made the world, who made God? [6]
Back to the top
The second way looks logically clear and ostensibly convincing. Unfortunately, for the believer, the argument contains a number of flaws which have allowed its complete demolition by philosophers David Hume (1711-1776) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).
Hume wrote down his critique of all major philosophical arguments for the existence of God in his posthumously published book, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion (1779). Hume's first took to issue the fundamental assumption of the second way, that every event must have a cause. Hume contended that when we speak of cause we mean an explanation for an event. If that is so, surely at best it remains an assumption that every event must have a cause; for no one has ever provided explanations for every event that has occurred.
Second, Hume showed that what we actually observed are certain events, one following the other. We call the earlier one, the "cause", and the one immediately following it, the "effect". Now in this sequence of events, one following the other, why can't we keep on tracing the events infinitely forward or backwards? [8] In fact, there is no logical reason why we cannot. Take, for instance, the series of integers 1,2,3... and so on. We can see that this sequence will never end, because for every number n there is a larger number n + 1. Similarly we can trace the number backwards 1,0,-1,-2... and so on. This sequence too, has no end, because for every negative number -n there exists a larger negative number -n-1. Looking at it this way, "first cause" has as much meaning as the "largest positive number"! [9] As Hume rightly pointed out:
What Hume is saying here is that the observable succession of events require no beginning since we can conceive of it going back to infinity. The entire chain of causes and effects also need no explaining for it is just an act of our mind trying to structure our experience.*
Furthermore, Hume argued that even if the argument is valid, i.e. that there is a first cause, it would not establish the existence of God. For one thing, why shouldn't the first cause be the universe itself rather than God. If it is argued that the universe also needs to be caused, then the same would be true for God. If one then asserts that God is "uncaused", the same assertion can be made for the universe. [11]
Taking over from where Hume left off, Kant continued the pounding at the flimsy foundations of the First Cause Argument. Kant pointed out that the principle of there being a cause for every event applies, as far as we know, only to the world of our sense experience. In the First Cause Argument this principle is uprooted from our world of sense experience to explain something that is suppose to transcend it. This procedure is, according to Kant, both unjustified and illegitimate, for there is no basis whatsoever to assume that the principle of causality holds when applied to the whole cosmos.
There is a further flaw in the argument. Kant pointed out that there is no rational way of actually knowing that we have reached the origins of causes and explanations. What we assume to be the first cause may just as well be due to our ignorance of the cause and explanation for it. In other words, when can we be sure we have reached the first cause? There is no method by which we can then exclaim, "Aha! This is the first Cause!" Kant concluded that these problems arise from the fundamental flaw of utilizing a principle beyond its valid range of applications. [12]
Modern philosophers have added to and refined the arguments of Hume and Kant. They point out that the second way, or First Cause Argument, contains an elementary logical fallacy: a quantifier reversal. An example is easy to give: suppose that every player in the basketball team has a wife; one then commits the fallacy of quantifier reversal when the fact is extended to state that the basketball team itself has a wife! This is how the first cause argument reasons: because every causal series must have a first cause, the argument claims that there must be a first cause for all such series. Stated this way, the fallacy in the argument is clear. [13]
Modern physics have also shown that the fundamental premise of the First Cause Argument, that every event must have a cause, to false. The phenomenon of radioactivity is one such example of an event that has no cause. While it is possible to predict the half-life of radioactive materials, i.e. how long it will take for half the original sample to decay, the exact moment when an individual atom will decay cannot be predicted. The decay of an individual atom is an example of an uncaused event. Theologians have tried to get out of this difficulty by saying that the theist denies that anything "just happens"; God directs and causes the moment of the decay, although it has no physical cause. But this defence is obviously circular. For the theologians are using the conclusion of the First Cause Argument (that God is the ultimate cause of things) to secure the validity of one of its premises (that every event must have a cause). A perfect example of the fallacy of petitio principii (begging the principle). [14] The second way is therefore unconvincing for the following reasons: it assumes that all sequences must be finite when we have no logical reason for believing so; we have no way of determining which cause exactly is the first cause; it commits the logical fallacy of quantifier reversal; and finally the fundamental assumption, that every event must have a cause, is shown to be untrue by modern physics. The First Cause Argument, the second way of Thomas Aquinas, has been shown the direction of the first, they are both invalid as proofs of God's existence.
Back to the top
As with the other two ways, there is a fundamental flaw in Aquinas' argument here. It is noted that the conclusion of the Cosmological Argument [c] is that there exists a being who owes its existence only to itself and nothing else. But it should be remembered that one of the basic premise of the argument is that there is no being that owes its existence to itself. This openly contradicts the final conclusion, which states that God is the being that owes its existence to itself. Thus the third way commits an elementary logical fallacy.
There has been attempts to modify the premise to say that no finite being owes its existence too itself and that since God, being infinite does owes his existence to himself. But this is basically saying that no being owes its existence to itself, except God, thus committing the fallacy of petitio principii; for the conclusion is already assumed in one of its premises. [16]
The word "necessary" can be used to two separate senses: the logical and the empirical. In the case where "necessary" is used in a logical sense, the proposition "God exists" can only mean that God's existence cannot be denied without contradiction. All this boils down to the assertion that "God exists" by definition. But we are now back to the Ontological Argument which we have shown to be invalid. [17] Now if "necessary" is used in an empirical sense, by saying that we need God as a necessary cause for everything else, we are back to the First Cause Argument. And that we have shown to be fallacious. [18]
Perhaps the most eloquent critique of this argument is the one by David Hume in his Dialogues. First Hume pointed out that the term "necessary existence" does not have a logical conviction of purely logical or mathematical arguments:
Then Hume argued, and this is an important point, if God exists necessarily because of some unknown attribute, why should not the universe itself have such an attribute to make its existence necessary. For surely, even today, no one have the audacity to say that we know all about the universe to say otherwise:
We can now sum up the various problems with the Third Way: the argument, in its basic form is circular, as it assumes the conclusion in one of its premises; the term "necessary being" if it is to be used in a empirical sense boils down to the Second Way, which was already shown to be fallacious, if it is used in the logical sense it reduces to the Ontological Argument, another argument already dismissed as unsound; and finally even if we must admit a necessary existent entity why shouldn't it be the universe itself?. All in all the Cosmological Arguments fail to demonstrate the existence of God.
Back to the top
This argument is the weakest of Aquinas' five ways. In the first place while it may be admitted that some kind of yardstick need to be applied before we can talk in terms of "more" or "less", but there is absolutely no reason why this yardstick must be absolute. This is especially true in the light of our knowledge today.
Values such as "good", "true" and "noble" actually have their assessment change across different cultures and different historical periods. For instance polygamy is considered a crime in western societies, hence is "bad" or "ignoble". Yet in Muslim countries, polygamy is not prohibited and in fact in certain circumstances, where the many menfolk are killed in war, for instance, it is actively encouraged. In ancient Confucianism, polygamy is nowhere prohibited. Thus, in these societies, polygamy is an accepted form of marital affairs.
Most social standards and norms are therefore subjective. It is simply impossible to grade the many social norms in a hierarchical sense. The absence of any clear-cut gradation in this sense refutes the Fourth Way. [21]
Back to the top
The fifth way asserts that inanimate things and processes appear to be acting toward the best result. Hence showing that the process must be directed by an intelligent being. But what does it mean when we say that processes are tending towards the "best result"?
As an example, certainly the environmental condition of this planet seems to have been the "best result" for the things living in it. But how do we know it is not simply a fortuitous (for us) occurrence? After all, the other planets in the solar system have environments which, as far as we know, is unable to sustain any form of live. The "success rate" is one in nine , for the formation of a life sustaining environment. This rate will be even lower if we consider the moons of the planets as "candidate" worlds. Looked at this way, the life sustaining environment does look like a fortuitous occurrence. Furthermore life developed to adapt itself to the surroundings, not the other way around. It is thus impossible to make the assertion that inanimate objects or processes always seems to move towards the "best result".
The fundamental premise of the Fifth Way, that inanimate things and processes are acting towards an intelligent end, is untenable. [23]

Some photographs of a visit to Hingston Down Mine made a few weeks ago. This is my first visit in may years - I will start this report with an some old photos I took in the 1980s and 1990s and then move on to the new images taken last month.
Hingston Down Mine, located near Gunnislake, Cornwall commenced operation around 1850. The engine house on the site was constructed between 1903 and 1905 to house a rotative beam engine, originally built by the Bedford Foundry at Tavistock, obtained from the recently defunct Devon Great Consols nearby.
The engine operated pumps and stamps. The surviving engine house is located at Bailys shaft and is unusual as it as it had a flat hipped roof as built and looked very similar in appearance to the engine house that was constructed at the nearby Kit Hill Consols.
The roof of the engine house remained partially intact into the 1990s. All work at the mine is believed to have come to a halt around the end of the First World War and the site was abandoned by 1926. The engine house was conserved in 2006.
September 06, 1982
April 04, 1991
Cylinder bed-stone to which the engine cylinder was bolted
The cateract pit in which the engine valve gear was located
Looking up into the remains of the roof - Hingston Down Mine is one of the few Cornish Engine Houses on abandoned mine sites to retain part of its roof.

U-19 tri-series: Rishab Pant stars as India beat Afghanistan to register second win
The Indian Under-19 cricket team registered their second successive win in the tri-series as they beat Afghanistan by 33 runs at the Jadavpur University ground here on Saturday
Kolkata: The Indian Under-19 cricket team registered their second successive win in the tri-series as they beat Afghanistan by 33 runs at the Jadavpur University ground here on Saturday.
India's Rishab Pant en route his 88-ball 87 vs Afghans at Kolkata on Saturday. PIC/PTI
With the win, India now have nine points from two games. Rashid Arman top scored for the visitors with 43 while Khaleel Ahmed picked up 4-41 for India. Chasing India's total of 236, the visitors could manage 203 in 47.3 overs.
The Indian bowlers could not make early in-roads in the first few overs as openers Janat Ihasanullah (25) and Zazai Hazratullah (21) knit a partnership of 45 runs but then the latter fell to Ahmed.
Ahmed struck again to get rid of Nasir Khan (0). There were three more quick wickets which left Afghanistan struggling at 65-5.
Later for the eighth wicket, Arman and Mohammad Sardar (33) put up a partnership of 62 runs, threatening to take the game away from the hosts but then both fell in quick succession to hand the match to the hosts. Earlier, India opener Rishab Pant's 87 propelled the home team to register a fighting total. Pant hit 10 fours and two sixes.
Surprising approach
Pant said they were surprised at the way Afghanistan played. "We were quite surprised with how Afghanistan played. Most teams take them lightly but they are a very good side."
India U-19: 236 in 50 overs (Rishabh Pant 87, Mahipal Lomror 43; Rashid Khan 4-47) beat
Afghanistan U-19: 203 in 47.3 overs (R Khan 43, Mohammad Sardar 33; Khaleel Ahmed 4-41, Mahipal Lomror 2-31) by 33 runs

Genuwine Cellars is a boutique design and build firm located in central Canada (Winnipeg, Manitoba). With nearly 20 years of experience designing and building custom wine cellars around North America and the world, we are well-accustomed to working with general contractors near and far. We have extensive experience working at a distance with other construction professionals from around the world, including New York, London and Beijing.
General Contractors contacting Genuwine Cellars generally take one of two approaches:
a) They have a pre-existing wine cellar design (produced by them, or provided to them via a designer or architect), and they want Genuwine to review this design, provide recommendations as required (e.g., feasibility, cost projections, climate control advice, etc.), and then ultimately build and install the wine cellar; or
b) They have a space in the floor plan of their project demarcated for a wine cellar, and they request that Genuwine handle all aspects of the design, build and installation.
In both cases, you (the Contractor) and Genuwine will share information as required.
Material selections, physical samples, and custom stain matches are generally coordinated between Genuwine and your client (and/or client's designer) directly.
Genuwine will provide you (the Contractor) with preliminary rough-in information; full CAD drawings of the wine cellar; and MEP plans (including cooling unit cut sheets; custom Climate Control Plans (with custom ducting design); custom lighting and electrical plans.)
Some contractors prefer to handle all contact with Genuwine directly, effectively relieving their clients of any added responsibility.
Others prefer to immediately introduce Genuwine to their client and "hand them off" for all aspects related to the wine cellar. In both cases, Genuwine remains sensitive to both client and contractor throughout the process, and always keeps in mind the ultimate objective—to create an aesthetically strong and functional wine cellar.
Note on Initial Project Costing
We can certainly appreciate the need for quick costing estimates for budgeting purposes, and while it is possible to provide rough estimates and guidelines in a timely manner, please keep the following in mind:
A wine cellar is not a typical construction project. Any architect/designer/builder that has gone through a wine cellar design and build will attest to the staggering amount of detail entailed for such a relatively small space. Working through the myriad complexities requires attention and time. To that end…
Genuwine Cellars takes all wine cellar projects very seriously, for at least three reasons:
- A wine cellar often represents a significant investment;
- The wine that needs to be protected inside the wine cellar is often an even greater investment; and
- The complexities involved to protect both of those investments require astute attention to detail.
Enlisting the help of Genuwine Cellars means bringing onboard a hyper-specialized team that will attend to those critical details. We take the time to make things right.
Note on Using a Variety of Trades for a Wine Cellar
It is common for home builders and general contractors to view wine cellars as just another construction project, and following that logic, their initial thought is to simply enlist all of their various trades to satisfy the different requirements. For example, they'll use:
a) Their designers for the wine cellar design;
b) Their HVAC subcontractor for the wine cellar mechanical;
c) Their glazier subcontractor for the wine cellar glass walls and doors;
d) Their millworker for the millwork (and potentially some of the wine racks) and the final installation;
e) A third party (like Genuwine) for wine racks only; and
f) Various trades for room preparation and lighting.
Employing this strategy and expecting the wine cellar to function properly is like expecting a tornado moving through a junkyard to result in a fully functional Boeing 747 aircraft.
Why is that? Because:
a) Your designers will likely not know the intricacies of wine cellar design, nor know about collecting considerations like large format storage, case storage, etc. Moreover, they may also be unaware of what is readily available in terms of wine storage displays, thus limiting the project from the start;
b) Your HVAC subcontractor will not have proven mechanical solutions to maintaining a consistent temperature of 55F whilst still maintaining adequate humidity levels, which could result in potentially damaging the wine and the cellar;
c) Your glazier subcontractor will not be experienced in using glass to create a sealed climate controlled environment, and could create condensation issues and mechanical issues;
d) Your millworker will not know the intricacies of wine storage (e.g., varying bottle sizes) and will likely not be adequately set up to produce many styles of wine racking in an economic or timely fashion, again limiting the project.
Note: It is however economical to have your trades build out and prepare the room following our Wine Cellar Construction Guide.
Ultimately, Genuwine seeks to pair with like-minded builders and contractors that appreciate and demand the level of attention that we bring to the table. We have two decades of experience seeing outside projects put together piecemeal that have ended up failing, to the detriment of:
a) the builder's reputation,
b) potentially our reputation (if we supplied the racks only); and
c) more importantly, to the end-use client and their wine collection.
We strongly suggest that you give your wine cellar project the attention it demands. And we stand ready to help you in all aspects of it.

However, as the world gets faster and faster paced, more people dream of an opportunity to step backward, enjoy a few moments of downtime, where electronic devices don't tell us where to go or who to see. They want a simpler time, where they can pretend to be living in a different, less complicated era. And in wishing so, they create opportunities for old-fashioned escorts.
For most mainstream clients, the concept of period-specific escorts is outlandish. However, many clients who yearn for days gone by are highly intrigued by the experiences offered by such an escort. If you are wondering what it might be like to explore opportunities to expand into this niche, consider these issues before plunging in:
- Old-fashioned escorts represent specific periods in history. Even though it's possible for an escort to attempt to engage in recreations of several historical periods, most feel that is too large of an undertaking and focus, instead, on one specific era or personality. For instance, an escort might choose to visit with clients as a saloon girl from the 1800s gold rush era, a Renaissance courtesan, an early revolutionary woman of the night or a "fun" flapper from the roaring '20s. Regardless of which era you select, don't attempt to do too many at one time. Focus your efforts exclusively on one general time period and specialize in artifacts, activities, historical events and other details that are essential to properly pulling off your "show." Recently popular with clients is the 1940s or 1950s era pin-up girl, which is a fairly easy recreation, much more simple than those of eras much longer ago.
- Concentrate on who your clients will be. If you've been escorting for awhile, you probably already have a good idea who your current client base consists of. Typically, wealthy, older executive and professional types visit escorts and become regular clients. However, your client list may vary and include subsets of the socially awkward, young and rich, fetishists, etc. But, historical escorts usually see a much different category of clients from their normal groups. They attract history buffs, curiosity seekers and historical wanna-bes. History buffs are likely experts on the specific era you are representing and desire an opportunity to step back in their favorite time for some good old-fashioned loving. The curiosity seekers are simply intrigued by the option of experiencing something so off the wall. They see it much like a ride at an amusement park: entertaining and thrilling, partially because it's something different. And, the wanna-bes may feel they were born in the wrong time, picturing themselves, instead, as cowboys, crusaders or '20s gangsters.
- Replicate the era as closely as possible in your incall. When your clients come to visit you, as a period-specific escort, they expect to be transported back in time as soon as they enter your incall. (If this isn't possible, try to make the transition with your bedroom.) Your clients will expect to see antique furnishings from the era (or true-to-design replicas), decor that was popular during the time period and other accent pieces or items that would have been seen lying about during the time. For instance, if you're reenacting the Renaissance period, a desk with a quill might be in order. A saloon girl might have a gold piece laying around from a previous client, in addition to hair combs from the era. Be creative as you recreate the setting for your clients. Consider the kind of music that was popular during the era and have it playing in the background. Prepare treats/snacks that were eaten during the time period. And, offer other forms of activities that were trendy at the time. Card games, Canoga and chess were popular during the Renaissance years.
- Create an image of yourself that mirrors what you would've looked like "back in the day." As much as anything, your client is coming to see you in full costume. Unlike going to a Renaissance fair, an old west town or a speak-easy party, clients are going to get the opportunity to actually touch a woman dressed in full era wardrobe and watch her disrobe. (Or, they get to help her undress, which is even more exciting.) Being privy to all of the undergarments and methods of undressing that were characteristic of historic clothing is a foreign and arousing concept for many men who have only ever experienced modern bras and panties. A woman who wears a corset, bustle or hoops is a mystery to modern men, who are unfamiliar with these forms of underwear of historical women. In addition to getting you undressed, your clients may be excited to have direct, up close and personal contact with a woman who has her hair done in a bun or styles particular to her era, make-up appropriate for the time period and other details of a time gone by. Get as close to authentic as you can get, keeping in mind that your escort look must also transition into an everyday look for you, as you go about your "normal" life.
- Act like a woman of your chosen era. Revolutionary-era women probably acted much differently than ladies who were flapper escorts during the 1920s. Realize that each period in history defined the roles of women, dictating how they were to act, both in public and in private. Try to recreate the way these women would have talked and utilize the verbiage they would've used. Learn about the era and pick up some trivia that will help you direct conversations about issues important at the time. For instance, during war times, specific battles or issues were hot discussion topics. Other times, other world events or pop culture activities dominated talk around the water cooler, so to speak. Plan out ahead of time a list of things you can talk about. Discover things a woman of your era might be fond of. Perhaps sewing was popular or a particular sport was fancied by women during that period. Have a long list of topics on hand that you may use to tell a client about yourself and to discover things about him, too. And, because your client is desirous of an era experience, don't allow yourself to slip out of character at any time. Perform your role from the time he walks in to the minute he leaves.
- Do your research. Watching a movie or two set during your era is not sufficient research to use to base your entire escort niche on. While a movie (if it's accurate) may help you visualize the era, it won't give you adequate details to create a believable and somewhat authentic experience. Do some digging online, at the library and with history experts. Read diaries and primary resources from the time period, itself. Look up world events and other activities that made big news. Consider locating local news, too, that can be especially interesting to converse about with a client from the area. If you find along the way that the research is boring, perhaps, the old-fashioned escort gig really isn't for you. Keep in mind, that if you try to half-ass your approach with these clients, they will discover your lack of knowledge and dedication to your role. As much as they desire to spend time with you as an escort, they also look to you for your expertise on your character and the era.
- You have to enjoy history in order to fulfill this niche. If days gone by are uninteresting to you, this role will be boring and tiresome for you. Escorts who excel as period-specific providers enjoy learning about who their characters might have been in real life, including learning about the trials and tribulations they went through that lead them to their choices and what issues they faced through their social positions. If you really love history, your role as a historical escort will deeply impact your day-to-day non-escort lifestyle, too. Some escorts who consider exploring the role of an old-fashioned escort may think that once you do your initial research for your character, all of the learning is complete. These thoughts are wrong. In order to continue improving and making your encounters the best they can possibly be, you must consistently expand your knowledge base. The more you know, the better you will be able to perform your role. Also, many history buffs want an opportunity to talk "shop" with you. Being able to discuss events of the era will make you much more credible and worthy in their eyes.
- Acting is an integral part of the old-fashioned, niche escort. Many escorts think it's essential for them to be able to be themselves when they visit with clients. But, for a history specific escort, you must play a role that may be greatly unlike who you genuinely are. Historical escorts get to play parts, as though in a play, each and every day. They put on a facade as they adorn themselves with their costumes and transform into the escort of the era. Most escorts have a sense that they go on stage when they meet up with clients, filling a role. But, this role becomes even more complex when you attempt to make it era-specific. Unless you are faced with a threatening situation, you must maintain your pretense at all times during the encounter. Falling out of character is unacceptable and unprofessional.
- All electronics must be banned from the premises (or at least from sight and sound). For a niche escort pretending to be in days gone by without mobile devices or laptops, one of the worst things that can happen is for her phone to ring in the middle of an encounter. Turn off all ringers, hide devices and omit all devices that are modern from the room or adjacent areas. This includes televisions, stereos, iPods and others. The only modern exceptions would be electricity and running water, in addition to your modern appliances. There's no reason to try to incorporate an old wood cook stove into your kitchen; it's acceptable to utilize modern appliances for your own benefit, as long as they're not a steady part of your encounter offerings.
- Outcalls are pretty much impossible. Part of the allure of a client seeing a period-specific escort is walking back in time as soon as they enter the incall. When they request that the escort come to them, it takes away much of the effect created by the incall. And, of course, most escorts aren't going to be comfortable traveling to and from a client's outcall in their saloon girl dresses. So, when you arrive at the outcall, you must change into your outfit for the encounter. The only way this scenario works is if your client only wants the role-play action, and chooses to omit the other aspects of the booing.
- Sometimes clients want to dress up, too. In order to feel like they truly fit into the situation created by your incall, attire and actions, clients feel they should be dressed for the part. Even though it may be a bit inconvenient, have a few items prepared that your client can wear to get him in the mindset of the era, too. Try to have them available in general sizes that most clients can wear.
- Charge premium rates for your services as a period-specific escort. It's not easy to do what you do and create a unique experience that clients won't forget. As a result, you've exerted lots of effort and expense to create a surreal encounter for clients. Instead of charging them your normal rates, bump up your fees to represent your expertise and quality research. Realize that you are providing a service that many escorts are incapable of. That, alone, should help you garner some extra cash.
- Promote yourself appropriately. While there are few (if any) historical escorting forums or directories to follow, there may be appropriate chat rooms that discuss period-specific history and events. Get into these chat rooms and assert yourself and abilities. Consider perusing the erotic history forums and chatting up regular contributors and readers. If all else fails, consider getting a traditional directory listing, being sure to include in your profile the special era-focused services you provide to clients. Word your profile accordingly and include pictures of you in your historical escorting wardrobe.

MOOSIC, February 17, 2012 – – Taking a short break from Senate Appropriations Committee budget hearings currently underway in Harrisburg, state Sen. John Blake (D-Lackawanna/Luzerne/Monroe) today hosted municipal and school district officials from the 22nd District for a wide-ranging discussion on the local impacts of the cuts proposed in Governor Corbett's 2012-2013 budget and other pressing legislative issues.
"This was another opportunity to hear from those I represent on what they believe will be local impacts of the education and human service cuts proposed by the Corbett Administration," Blake said. "I share with these local stakeholders the same concerns and the same goals for the future of Pennsylvania and for the citizens of my district. I hold this annual legislative breakfast at this time of year so I can be fully informed on the true impacts of the state budget on families and communities in Northeastern Pennsylvania and so I can see through the disconnect between the Governor's words and the numbers presented in his budget. The decision makers on the front line in our communities and in our schools know better than anyone what will happen if the Governor's current budget proposal is signed into law."
More than 70 local officials and school administrators took part in Blake's legislative breakfast, which was held at the Greenwood Hose Company on Birney Avenue in Moosic.
Blake began the two-hour interactive discussion with a briefing not only on the Governor's proposed state budget but also the implications of the recently adopted – and, as Senator Blake described, "woefully misguided" Marcellus Shale impact fee law as well as discussion on the legal issues surrounding legislative redistricting in Pennsylvania.

Licensing undocumented drivers is about road safety, not rights (Other Views)
The long debate about whether to allow people living in the United States illegally to apply for driver's licenses is not about illegal immigration. It's about the safety of our roads.
Confusion about the point of all this is rife. The headline above an online report about a California Assembly proposal to expand undocmented immigrants' access to driver's licenses, which passed in May, read: "Bill would give licenses to those in US illegally."
No -- licenses wouldn't be given to undocumented immigrants any more than they're given to U.S. citizens. Everybody must pass written and driving tests to earn licenses. This certifies you know the rules of the road and how to operate a vehicle, and means you can be identified after an accident.
The most important effect of allowing undocumented immigrants to go through this process is that more people who probably are driving cars and trucks anyway will be doing so safely, for the benefit of themselves, their passengers, other motorists and pedestrians.
Some opponents of the driver's license bill argue that a license confers a sort of legal status on people who are in the United States illegally. Well, it has been said before, but it's worth saying again: Foreigners being allowed to drive here doesn't make them legal U.S. residents any more than Americans being allowed to drive in France makes them French.
There are many things undocumented immigrants shouldn't be given, but the obligation to prove their fitness to use a vehicle isn't one.

Well, according to Pocket-lint, retailer John Lewis has confirmed to the site that it will indeed commence stocking both its virtual and physical shelves with Microsoft's 10.1-inch tablet, with the 32GB plus Black Touch Keyboard bundle set to be priced at £479, or £559 for the more spacious 64GB model.
