Customers of the ride-sharing service, Uber, may soon be able to pay for rides with cash. Currently only accepting credit cards, the move to welcome cash transactions is expected to grow Uber's followers, even pinching passengers from rivals Grab.
According to The Star, Uber South Asia communications lead, Karun Aya, explained that his company is aware that Malaysians favour cash payments over cashless ones. "It's definitely a possibility. It's one of the 50 other things we're looking at strongly for Malaysia," said Karun.
Comparatively, Uber's fares are far more affordable than those of a regular taxi. Uber X, for example, offers a base price of RM0.95 and RM0.60 per km of travel, and RM0.25 per minute being in the vehicle.
Adversely, a regular taxi charges RM0.25 for just 200 metres of travel and RM0.25 for every 36 seconds you are in the vehicle. Also, there's the RM3 starting price to factor in.
"You can't tap into the potential of that market without localising the product for that market," said Karun, following his reference of how India was also a market that successfully switched to cash payments. When the publication quizzed Karun for when cash payments would take effect in Malaysia, the Uber spokesperson would not say.

One of the most common questions we have received at Melwani & Chan LLP is "What type of entity should I form for my new business?" As always, the answer is "It depends." A medical clinic, restaurant, and software start-up all have vastly different requirements and their choice of entity should reflect those needs.
This guide will give a very brief description of the types of entities available and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
What types of entities are there?
Generally speaking these are the types of entities. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages.
- Sole Proprietorship
- General Partnership
- Limited Partnership (LP)
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
- C-Corporation
- S-Corporation
- Limited Liability Company (LLC)
- Benefit Corporation
Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is the simplest way of organizing a business. Essentially, it is one individual who is intertwined with their business from a legal, financial, and liability perspective.
1.) Easy of formation. There is no paperwork necessary, except possibly filing a "Doing Business As…" certificate with the state,
2.) Inexpensive—no legal or filing fees,
3.) No double taxation. In a C-corporation, profits are taxed at the corporate rate and shareholders are taxed again when the corporation distributes dividends.
1.) Unlimited liability for debts and lawsuits is the biggest disadvantage. This is especially problematic if you have assets such as a home, 401K plan, etc. and operate a business that could possibly have significant liability exposure. For example, a restaurant owner would be personally liable for slip and fall for a wet floor or food poisoning lawsuit. While I've occasionally heard arguments that liability insurance would cover these cases, the problem is that insurance companies do not make money by paying out money for claims. A sole proprietor leaves their fate in the hands of an insurance examiner who will thoroughly examine the claim to see if the insurance company is actually obligated to pay out on the claim.
2.) No Equity Distribution. A sole proprietorship by nature is only one individual and therefore no equity can be distributed to employees or investors.
3.) Business dies with Owner. The business dies when the owner dies, moves on, or is incapacitated.
General Partnership
Is two or more individuals or entities who associate together for a business purpose. It has many of the same advantages and disadvantages of the sole proprietorship.
1.) Ease of formation. No paperwork is required, except for a possible required filing of a DBA certificate.
2.) Inexpensive, a formal partnership agreement is not required (but it is wise to draft one when everyone is still on good terms) otherwise the partnership will default to the rules under state law.
3.) Transferable. It is a separate legal entity whose interests can be transferred.
4.) No double taxation. Pass through entity for taxation –meaning profits and losses are attributed directly to the individual.
1.) Unlimited liability. There is even more potential liability than a sole proprietorship, because each partner is liable for every other partner's act within the confines of the general partnership. For example, if one partner steals a client's money, the other honest partner will be liable for the dishonest partner.
2.) Difficult to raise money from investors, because a passive investors do not want to be faced with unlimited liability for a business that they are not involved with on a day-to-day basis.
Limited Partnership (L.P.) and Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
The LP and LLP are similar to a general partnership in that is two or more individuals or entities coming together to conduct a business. However, the key difference is that some or all of the partners have limited liability—meaning they can only lose the amount they have invested in the business. In an LP, there is one general partner who manages the business on day-to-day basis and like a sole proprietor has unlimited liability for the debts and liabilities of the partnership. In an LLP, none of the partners are responsible for another partner's debts, obligations, or liabilities including those resulting from malpractice or misconduct. LLPs are usually limited by state law to professional associations—lawyers, architects, doctors, etc.
1.) Limited liability, as discussed above.
2) Open to outside investors, this type of entity is more capable of attracting investment because passive investors are only liable up the amount they put in the business.
3.) No double taxation. Pass through entity for taxation.
1.) More complicated. Typically a general partner is an entity that already shields individuals from unlimited liability, for example the general partner in an LP is often a Corporation or LLC which makes the overall structure more complicated and expensive.
2.) More expensive for initial set-up, especially in New York. Typically an LP or LLP must register with the state. An written and executed partnership agreement should be drafted and executed. In addition, New York makes it expensive to set up an LP, LLP, or LLC by being one of the only states that require limited liability entities (LPs, LLPs, and LLCs) to file a "notice of publication" in two daily papers for 6 weeks. This can cost an additional $600 to $1500 depending on which county the entity is situated. **The information found in this notice of publication, can also be found for free on the NY Secretary of State website, and essentially this requirement basically exists to provide a nice fat subsidy to a select few media companies, as the 46 other states in the United States have eliminated the Notice of Publication requirement. **
3.) Limited Management. In a L.P. limited partners may not participate in management of the firm, otherwise they will be held to the liability of a general partner. L.L.P. is different, in that limited partners may participate in management.
A C-Corporation is the most common type of corporation and almost all publicly traded companies are C-Corporations. A C-Corporation is legally its own person, meaning it exists as a separate entity from its owners and will exist forever unless formally dissolved.
1.) Limited Liability for all shareholders/owners. Shareholders are only responsible for the amount of debt, liability, and obligations up to the amount of their investment.
2.) Flexible Capital Structure. A C-Corporation has the most flexibility as far as capital structure. C-Corporations, unlike LLCs or S-Corporations, can have different classes of shareholders—such as voting and non-voting stock, foreign shareholders.
3.) Best for attracting venture capital. A C-Corporation, unlike a LLC or S-Corp is not a pass-through entity for tax purposes, which means venture capital funds are allowed to invest. VC funds may be prohibited by their fund documents in LLCs and S-Corps, because they are pass-through entities and the VC fund may become liable for taxes on unrelated business income if it did invest in an LLC or S-Corp.
1.) Double taxation—as noted above, because C-Corporations are not pass through entities, they will be taxed once on corporate profit and the dividends to shareholders will be taxed again.
2.) Lots of Record Keeping—maintaining the limited liability shield requires the corporation to be very diligent in their record keeping—filing the articles of incorporation, adopting by-laws, electing a Board of Directors and having documented annual meetings. All of this must be documented otherwise shareholders may lose their limited liability. The record keeping process can also be expensive to maintain.
An S-Corporation is formed by making an election to the IRS that the corporation chooses to be taxed under Sub-chapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Unlike a C-Corporation it is a pass-through entity for tax purposes. S-Corporations are useful for members who need limited liability and pass through taxation.
1.) Limited Liability for shareholders.
2.) Pass-through taxation—meaning profits and losses can pass to the shareholders as individuals.
3.) Easy to convert to a C-Corporation. Converting an S-Corporation to a C-Corporation is easier than converting an LLC for legal and tax reasons.
1.) Limitation on type and number of shareholders. An S-Corp can only have 100 shareholders and all shareholders must be U.S. Citizens or residents.
2.) Only one class of stock is allowed—An S-Corporation can not have preferred stock, certain options, warrants, and convertible notes which makes it harder to raise capital.
3.) Lots of Record Keeping—same as a C-Corporation.
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
LLCs are relatively recent legal creation and combine the limited liability of a C-Corporation with the pass-through taxation of a Partnership. LLCs are one of the most flexible entities available in regards to number and types of shareholders. They well suited to businesses such as consulting firms, real estate projects, certain investment funds, and other business that will not be seeking venture capital.
1) Anyone can be a shareholder—unlike an S-Corporation, LLCs allow for Corporations to be members.
2.) Any member can manage. Any member of an LLC can participate in management and maintain their limited liability status.
3.) Flexibility and Less Formalities—the members of an LLC can allocate profits and losses as they see fit. It can also operate in a fashion similar to corporation with elections and meetings or it can operate like a sole proprietorship and have very little formal operating requirements.
4.) Taxation. LLCs can select to be taxed as a partnership, S-Corp, or a C-Corporation.
1) Complex from a tax and accounting perspective—Unlike C-Corporations, each member of an LLC may be required to file a tax return in multiple states. Also an LLC may be required to withhold taxes on certain income to foreign members, regardless of whether distributions are made.
2.) Harder to convert an LLC to a C-Corporation, as opposed to converting an S-Corporation to a C-Corporation. Depending on the nature of the company, changing an LLC to a C-Corporation may trigger tax issues when transferring assets from an LLC. This may make an LLC less attractive (or even ineligible) to certain investors such as venture capital firms and institutional investors.
3.) Limited types of capital structure—although members can make distributions as they see fit, there is no formal mechanism in place such as preferred shares or convertible notes to differentiate who gets what.
4.) More expensive for the initial set-up, especially in New York. A written operating agreement should be entered into by the members, and in some states such as New York, an agreement is required. Also, in New York, LLCs are subject to the Notice of Publication requirement, which makes LLCs more expensive that other types of entities to set up, see above under Disadvantages for LPs and LLPs.
Benefit Corporation
"Benefit Corporation" can legally pursue a "double-bottom line" of social justice and profits Normally, a corporation's directors and officers are held to have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders, meaning that pursuing interests outside of profit seeking can open directors and officers to shareholders lawsuits.
1.) Legally pursue a "double-bottom line" of social justice and profits without breaching fiduciary duty to shareholders to only seek profit.
2.) By allowing Benefit Corporations to exist, directors and officers have legal protection to engage in activities that promote a social good, such as using environmentally friendly materials, even though it may hurt their financial performance.
1.) Benefit Corporation structure is relatively untested in terms of legal issues. For example, what happens if the B-corporation or one of its officers doesn't meet its social obligations or fails to adequately deal with compliance and disclosure.
2.) Heavy administrative burden than traditional C-corporations and LLCs.
3.) Investors are uncomfortable with Benefit Corporations as opposed to investing in C-corporations or LLCs.
NOTE: Certified Benefit Corporation (not an official legal entity)
A Certified Benefit Corporation is NOT the same thing as being a legally formed Benefit Corporation. A Certified Benefit Corporation is a regular C-Corporation that meets certain standards, such as fair treatment of its workers, promoted by the non-profit group "B-Lab." While being a Certified by B-Lab can assist a company in meeting certain standards, the certification process by itself will not provide directors and officers with the legal protections of a Benefit Corporation formed under the laws of the state in which it is located. It is closer to having coffee certified as "Fair Trade." There a are a few well known C-Corporations that are Certified Benefit Corporations such as Patagonia, Etsy, and Warby Parker.
The process to become a Certified Benefit Corporation is to be reviewed bi-annually by the Non-profit B-Labs and pay a sliding scale fee based on revenue.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) January 21, 2014
Recent merger activity in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin is amplifying investor interest in a uranium basin that is already supplying 20% of the world's uranium.
On December 9, 2013 joint venture partners Fission Uranium and Alpha Minerals received shareholder approval to merge interests in the Patterson Lake South property. Fission retains a 100% interest in the property, while both companies spun out their non-core assets into new exploration companies.
Good drill results continue for Fission. On December 31, 2013 the company announced that it had hit 18.52% U3O8 over 3.5m at the R945E Zone.
"The chances that Fission and Alpha are the only ones that have uranium on their property is probably relatively low," states David Talbot, a senior uranium analyst with Dundee Capital Markets, in a recent interview with Resource Clips, "This is an area play because these are area-type deposits."
Aldrin Resource Corp (ALN-TSX.V) controls 12,000 hectares on strike to Patterson Lake mineralized trends. Aldrin's "Triple M Property" has strong potential to host high-grade basement uranium mineralization along the same structures mineralized at Patterson Lake and Derkson Lake.
On January 15, 2014 Aldrin announced a 3,000 meter drilling test of its priority basement conductors located in the southeast block of the Triple M Property adjacent to the south boundary of Fission property at Patterson Lake.
The SE block target area has good access. Depth to the top of the target zone is expected to be relatively shallow, ranging from 75 to 130 meters. Aldrin has received all required government drill permits.
Aldrin's winter exploration program will begin by February, 2014 with construction of a drill road and camp. Using this access and camp, Aldrin plans to complete in-fill gravity and radon measurements over priority target areas to further refine drill collar locations.
Drill targets are supported by coincident gravity lows, radon highs, linear bedrock conductors and geological mapping.
The winter drilling program will test two priority basement conductive anomalies. Drill target #1 is a conductive anomaly that extends more than 3.5 kilometers striking east-northeast across the SE block. Drill target #2 is a conductive anomaly that extends 2.5 kilometers striking east-northeast. Both structures exhibit similar geology to the Patterson Lake discovery, as well as most high-grade uranium mineralization from the Athabasca Basin.
Multiple drill holes will be used to test drill target #1 and #2. The holes are expected to average about 200 m in depth, although they may be go deeper if mineralization is evident.
Early in 2013, Aldrin was a shell company with cash that had been given a mandate by its board to identify a high grade uranium asset in Canada. The board anticipated that the price of uranium was going to rebound, and that Canada was the best place to be.
"The Triple M property was staked 1 year before the Patterson Lake Discovery," states Aldrin CEO and Director Johnathan More in an exclusive interview with Financial Press, "So it wasn't just an area play where we were trying to get an address next to a discovery. Aldrin's land acquisition was based on the same geology that Alpha and Fission used to design their drill program."
"The anomalies we discovered from the initial airborne survey matched the predicted corridor from the historical data," confirms More, "we have established strong basement conductors parallel to the Patterson Lake fault."
On December 4, 2013 Aldrin announced completion of a ground gravity survey on the Triple M Property. Preliminary analysis identified gravity anomalies coincident with the priority drill targets already established. The results confirm the potential for bedrock uranium mineralization.
The gravity survey was based on data collected from 871 unique stations. The survey covered two parallel strong bedrock conductors previously identified from a VTEM airborne geophysical survey.
The gravity anomalies coincided with the bedrock conductors previously highlighted by high radon anomalies. Radon geochemistry is an established exploration tool in the Athabasca Basin. Radon distribution is a strong indicator of shallow uranium mineralization. Radon anomalies coincident with basement conductors often point to primary drill targets.
Major mines in the Athabasca Basin include McArthur River (16.5% U3O8), Maclean Lake (50 million lbs produced), Rabbit Lake (186 million lbs produced), Cigar Lake (22.3% U3O8), Cluff lake (60 million lbs produced).
"It is important to note that we have taken the same steps with Triple M that Fission-Alpha took to make their discovery," states More, "In fact we have used a lot of the same contractors and so have benefited from their experience working this geological trend. We are not inventing the wheel here. We are methodically developing a uranium project in a proven uranium basin".
Aldrin's exploration program has gone like clockwork. "The program has been relatively inexpensive because everything we predicted from the inherited data has turned out to be true," states More, "We believe the basement structures running parallel to the faults will be mineralized in uranium. We intend to execute Beta-test drilling in the spring of 2014". Currently, Aldrin management owns about 30% of the company and they continue to add to their positions.
On December 31, 2013 - Aldrin announced that it had closed its non-brokered private placement raising $926,429 through the issuance of 9,751,888 flow-through units at a price of $.095 per unit. Aldrin management took down about $375,000 out this latest financing.
"Since Fission- Alpha opened up a new area of the basin," explains More, "companies operating close to them with good prospective targets have a shot at developing additional mines. We are a parallel structure to them. The Aldrin property is part of the same tectonic system".
France currently receives 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy, Belgium 51%, Sweden 38%, South Korea 30%, the United States 19% and the UK 18%. China receives only 1.9% of its electricity from nuclear. It is still more than 70% dependent on coal.
China has 28 nuclear reactors under construction, with another 49 planned and 120 proposed. Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt and Kazakhstan are all building their first reactors. Uranium shortfalls are looming.
The Athabasca Basin contains known uranium reserves with the energy equivalent of 19 billion barrels of oil.
"We are becoming more confident in our drill targets at the Triple M Property," states More, "because each survey method we employ yields coincident anomalies consistent with uranium mineralization below."
"We believe our winter 2014 drill targets on the SE block of the Triple M Property provide some of the strongest possibilities for discovery of any that will be tested this year by the various companies exploring the southwestern Athabasca Basin region."
Aldrin is currently trading at .08 with a market cap of $7.2 million.

Buyers turn to online
Car showrooms of tomorrow could exist almost entirely online according to Sophus3.
Automotive digital marketing analysts, Sophus3 has released its quarterly summary on the latest research into how consumers are accessing information from major car brands and the device of choice is clearly mobile phone technology.
The UK and Spain lead the way with mobile use for accessing car websites and though the UK leads the way in tablet use for the same research, this is on the decline as tablets gradually become less relevant due to the capabilities of Smartphones.
Mobile usage for car shopping in the UK continues to grow at a rate of knots and now represents 59% of all visits to car brand sites.
Consumers can take a virtual tour of the online showroom and even take virtual test drives as the industry continues to adapt to the demands of the customer base.
Sophus3 chairman Marcus Hodgkinson said, 'Just a decade ago, the average new car buyer visited six dealers before buying their car. This has now dropped to less than two visits.
'At the same time, the proportion of visitors who use the internet as their primary pre-purchase research channel has risen to above 90% which is a massive shift away from the traditional consumer journey of yesterday.
'The majority of these web visits take place via a mobile device. As a result, by the time the car buyer visits the showroom they often know more about the car they want to buy than the sales person selling it.'
Consumers' trust in the automotive industry is high with warranties and guarantees of quality standard with all new purchases and after accessing the brand's online offerings, there is a wealth of expert opinion pieces and a raft of reviews easily accessible.

Memory controllers enable secure, rapid USB data transfers
Keywords:flash? HDD? USB? IntellaSys? memory controller?
IntellaSys expanded its data transfers" target=_blank>OnSpec memory controller line with two devices—the xSil267 and xSil268—that are designed to enable secure and rapid USB data transfer from storage devices such as flash and HDD media.
The xSil267 controls serial-only, multislot applications such as those in which Secure Digital (SD), MMC and Memory Stick (MS) media interface with a PC Express Card adapter or USB Host. And the xSil268 controls both serial and parallel interfaces for multislot applications enabling it to read from a wide range of media formats, including UDMA CompactFlash (CF), MMC 4.1, SD 2.0 and IDE/ATAPI HDD as well as their variants.
The xSil267 and xSil268 feature a 128bit, hardware-embedded, encryption/decryption function that can be enabled via firmware. This is a key feature for applications in which a specific media is used and partitioned to store encrypted information.
Fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), this security feature is augmented by two-level software authentication of passwords. According to Bryan Chin, OnSpec product marketing manager, any unauthorized attempts to decipher the 3.4x1038 keys embedded in each chip at the rate of one key per second would take 149 trillion years to determine all possibilities.
Designed with integrated USB 2.0 PHY, both xSil267 and xSil268 pack a 16bit processor along with a serial EEPROM port, two general purpose timers and a watchdog timer. Each device supports both Reads and Writes for SD-HS compliant media with sustained transfer rates exceeding 20MBps as well as MS PRO media with sustained transfer rates of up to 18MBps and MMC cards that have 4bit and 8bit buses with sustained transfer rates of up to 20MBps. Both devices also provide programmable R/W widths plus optimally controlled hardware transfer for speed and scalability.
The xSil267 is packaged in a 48-pin 16-by-16mm QFP while the xSil268 comes in a 100-pin 16-by-16mm QFP.
OEM pricing information is being disclosed only to qualified manufacturers. Both devices are in production and now sampling along with evaluation boards to qualified OEMs.

Jackson — One of the biggest problems in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was communications. For the first week, there was very little cell or telephone service available. People on the Coast were isolated from each other and anxious for news about where to get relief supplies, as well as the fate of friends and relatives.
"A radio station that stayed on the air continuously providing this vital information was Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB)," said Mark Flemmons, service manager for the Cleveland division of Modern Communications. "Someone needs to find the chief engineer for Mississippi Public Broadcasting and his crew, and hang metals around their necks. They did a monstrous job to keep that network up and going. At certain points they were the only thing left on the air. They were hand carrying diesel out to transformer sites to keep it going. It was phenomenal some of the things they did."
Flemmons said the MPB crews went out into the storm to get transmitters that had lost electric service up and running with backup power generators. These crews had no cell phones or other ways to communicate back to the home office.
"It was a crucial link getting transformers going or repairing them," Flemmons said. "I can relate to that, as I have been there and done that. You hear the guy wires on the tower humming like a bow on a base fiddle. You try to ignore that the tower might be blown down to breathe life into this monster and get it going again. The MPB crews are a unique bunch of people and they deserve recognition for this. "
Switching modes
MPB suspended its regular programming and went into informational mode for most of the first three weeks after the storm. For many Mississippians, especially those without battery-operated televisions, this was there only source of information.
"If not for MPB telling people where the help was, they wouldn't have known where to go or how to get it," Flemmons said. "They were also giving live reports from where the damage was, what towns were okay and some that weren't."
Gene Edwards, MPB's deputy director for content development, said an engineer named Max Breazeale violated policy and went down to the transmitter site in McHenry, which is the Gulf Coast site, and used a chainsaw to cut trees out of the road in order to get to the transmitter. Breazeale knew he didn't have enough gas to get back out after the hurricane, and that he would be stuck at the transmitter site.
The transmitter went out for a couple of hours during the height of the storm. But because Breazeale was there, he was able to get the transmitter back up and running.
"Hence, communications were provided to tens of thousands of people who wouldn't have had any other way of getting the news," Edwards said.
Two other MPB crew members with a chain saw borrowed from the Institutions of Higher Learning went out to service remote microwave sites. The chain saw wasn't up to the job of cutting away a huge oak tree blocking the road, but a local resident stopped and helped them cut up the tree. Then when the resident found out that more propane fuel was needed to power the emergency systems at the microwave relay site, he went back to his house to get them some fuel.
"People heard us talking on the air about needing diesel fuel to keep the auxiliary power, and people called and told us where to get it," Edwards said. "They offered to deliver it. It was just amazing."
Making a critical difference
Edwards said that years ago proponents of MPB said it was vital to put together a statewide radio network like this, and that doing so someday might save some lives.
"And it did," Edwards said.
Most private radio stations were knocked off the air by Katrina. Some of those that remained also played a valuable role by simultaneous broadcasting of live coverage from WLOX-Channel 13, on the Gulf Coast.
The MPB broadcasters pulled marathon stints of continuous news coverage from Sunday late in the day until the next Thursday. And for the next couple of weeks, hurricane recovery news dominated.
"We really haven't gotten back to regular programming still," Edwards said three weeks after the storm. "I've been trying to figure out how many hours we were on the air, and I don't know. We are continuing to provide news information programming between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. at night, and will stay in that mode for at least the next two weeks."
An example of the important news relayed by MPB concerns Hattiesburg. Although located inland, Hurricane Katrina was still a category two storm when it hit Hattiesburg. Because of the lack of cell and land line communications, it was days before the outside area knew much about what had happened to Hattiesburg.
"The mayor of Hattiesburg called us on Wednesday, and said he was calling to let us know they had been listening and that Hattiesburg is okay. The mayor said, 'We are okay, but we have taken a hell of a beating down here,'" Edwards said. "The last we had talked to them before was the night of the storm when they said 90% of the streets in their town were blocked."
MPB also loaned their television signal to WLOX when the TV station's signal was down. "We let them microwave to our position, and they took over our position on the dial when their transmitter was down," Edwards said. "And then on Sunday, September 10, the FOX station was still off the air when football started. So we struck a deal with the FOX network, and aired the Saints and Packers games on the PBS signal down there. The FCC granted us special permission to allow non-commercial stations to transmit commercials during this crisis. What a great morale boost for people to see the Saints and the Packers."
New MPB information programs air at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. themed around Katrina recovery issues. Topics include mental health, health issues, city planning, education issues, status of parks and recreation areas, farming, fishing, agriculture impact, environmental issues and more. The programs air live and will repeat frequently.
"Our goal is to continue to provide vital news and information for as long as we are needed," Edwards said.

There are comfort foods and there are luxury foods. There is good and then there is best. There is fish roe and wait for it… there is CAVIAR. Yes, the salt treated eggs of sturgeon fish that are little pieces of treasure, the best of which are found in the Caspian and Black Sea.
So, when invited to a caviar and salmon degustation organized by Indo-French Chamber of Commerce, it was an evening not to be missed. Set in the ballroom of the spectacular Dusit Devrana, the recently opened New Delhi resort property of the Thai hospitality chain, the evening was a treat for fish loving, wine connoisseurs like me.
Paired with Drappier champagne, there were Baeri Royal, Oscietra and Prunier Malossol caviar for one to choose from. Just like fine wine, each deserves its own set of tasting notes and this is how Sonia Baeriswyl, GM, Lux en Bouche, defined two of them," Baeri Royal is a pleasant caviar with light and woody flavours where the grains are loose yet firm with a black ebony colour. Oscietra Prestige on the other hand is festive caviar with subtle and nutty flavours. Its amber grains are a regular good size and are completely loose with an anthracite bronze reflection".
My pick of the evening has to be the Oscietra – one little spoon in my mouth and it gratified a deeply rooted fantasy of my subconscious! Sigh. If the description doesn't convince you, you must have caviar, at least once, for its nutritional goodness as it is rich in proteins and vitamins, confirms Sonia.
Besides the caviar, there was Balik Salmon for tasting. I tried the Balik Sjomga Tradition and Balik Sjomga Orange, both of which were simply divine – really difficult to have chosen a favourite here. According to Sonia, it is the crisp alpine air in Toggenburg, a small village in Switzerland which hosts the company's facility, coupled with the quality of firewood and the craftsmanship involving minimum mechanization that makes Balik salmon stand out. The company also claims to use a traditional method of manually smoking its salmon, just the way it was done at the time when the Russian imperial court existed. (Quick trivia: the name Balik comes from the Russian word balik, referring to the back fillet of the salmon fish, considered to be the most noble of the cuts).
One might doubt whether Indians are willing to shell out exorbitant amounts for such luxury foods but Sonia remains optimistic. She has followed the Indian luxury market closely and is positive that the affluent Indian economic classes will take quickly to caviar. While the company remains tight lipped on the volume it aims to generate through the Indian market, expect them to be aggressive in their marketing endeveaours as they intend to start selling online soon and will also be promoting their products through social media. Goes without saying, hotel chains and restaurants will be one of their key customers but they also have plans of selling through premium retail locations.
Wondering how to enjoy that caviar lying in your fridge? Just simply smother the left over naan (Indian flatbread) with some whipped cream or cream cheese, add a morsel of salmon and top it with the caviar. You wouldn't have felt this pampered in a long time, you have my word here!
Lux'en Bouche, a Reunion Islands based enterprise together with their Indian partners, Empire Foods, are exclusive suppliers of Caviar House and Prunier products to India.

text: TIKRIT: The militant Islamic State (IS) group claimed a triple suicide attack on Thursday evening near the mausoleum of Sayid Mohammed bin Ali al-Hadi north of Baghdad, which killed at least 35 people and wounded 60 others, according to Iraqi security sources.A man detonated an explosive belt at the external gate of the mausoleum at around 11pm, allowing several gunmen to storm the site and start shooting at worshippers on the occasion of Eidul Fitr, according to the security sources.At least one gunman blew himself up in the middle of the crowd while another was gunned down by the guard of the mausoleum before he could detonate his explosive belt.The site also came under rocket fire during the attack that was claimed by IS. The militant group said in a statement the attack was carried out by three suicide bombers wearing explosive belts.Pictures posted on social media showed a fire burning in the market located at the entrance of the Sayid Mohammed mausoleum. It was not clear if the site itself was damaged.The attack on the mausoleum comes days after a suicide attack in Baghdad claimed nearly 300 lives.Prominent Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr had ordered his militia, the Peace Brigade, to deploy around the mausoleum, near Balad, about 93 kilometres north of Baghdad.Sadr's militia is also deployed in Samarra, a nearby city that houses the shrine of Imam Ali al-Hadi, the father of Sayid Mohammed whose mausoleum was attacked on Thursday.A 2006 bombing destroyed the golden dome of the shrine of Ali al-Hadi and his other son, Imam Hasan al-Askari, setting off a wave of sectarian violence akin to a civil war.IS militants have lost ground since last year to US-backed government forces and Iran-backed militias, but recent bombings have shown they still have the ability to strike outside the territory they control in northern and western Iraq.

What's Donky?
Donky Pitch began in Brighton in the summer of 2009, born out of two peoples' frustration with the local club scene and coinciding with the rise of synth heavy dancefloor mutations within underground electronic music. At first just a midweek party in a small club below a pub, over the years that followed it has branched out to be a record label and a monthly radio show on Sub FM
The label kicked off in 2010 with a split release drawing from two of the party's residents, Slugabed and Ghost Mutt, and has since released records by Nino, V.C. , 813, The Range, Keyboard Kid and ARP 101 x Elliott Yorke as well as a free three part EP series focusing on local producers. 2014 will see releases from Lockah (including his debut album), The Range, Vespertown and Tokyo Hands.
Sticking true to their roots, Donky Pitch continue to promote club nights and have hosted the Brighton debuts for Debruit, Mweslee, Shlohmo, Salva, Alexander Nut, ARP 101,Blue Daisy, Lapalux and Tokimonsta, as well as giving local producers and DJs a platform to perform. On top of their love for synth and bass music, they are the UK's premier exponent of Skweee; hosting not only the UK premier of the 'We Call it Skweee' documentary but also the UK's first ever Skweee showcase in March 2011.
Now taking their sound to cities around Europe, including a showcases at Glade Festival, Secret Garden party and on Boiler Room, Donky Pitch show no sign of slowing down into 2014 and beyond.

The explosive charges were removed to make them legal for collectors.If these grenades were still live they would destroy the hydraulic press and the entire workshop with them.- This press was done with regulated hydraulic pressure.- When pressing the grenades we gently increased the pressure with a pressure regulator. - This is why the pressing goes allot slower then the previous videos.The reason for this is to see at which pressure the grenades will crush.Each small line is 20Bar and represents 4.2Tons of force.

U.N. OFFICIAL CALLS FOR 'ARK' TO SAVE WORLD FROM GLOBAL WARMING• http://mobile.wnd.com, BOB UNRUH
Patricia Espinosa, the executive secretary of U.N. Climate Change, was speaking at a recent conference at the Vatican hosted by Pope Francis.
Climate-change skeptic Marc Morano of the Climate Depot site noted Espinosa urged the world "to make the fundamental, transformative changes necessary" to fight "global warming."
The Vatican's International Conference was titled "Saving our Common Home and the Future of Life on Earth."
"If we truly want to make the fundamental, transformative changes necessary to combat climate change, perhaps what we need then is not a physical ark, but an ark of ambition for #climateaction," she said on social media.
Espinosa echoed former U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres, reported Morano.

As always, Jon Stewart got the latest Media Matters/MSNBC/White House talking points, this time about about Sandra Fluke being inoculated from criticism because she's some kind of "private citizen."
We heard the same defense from Bill Maher earlier today, and it was just as stupid and obvious a talking point coming out of Maher's mouth as it is Stewart's.
Sandra Fluke CHOSE to testify in public before Congress and then CHOSE to become the symbol of this divisive controversy. Therefore, she chose to become a public figure. In this respect, Fluke is no more a private citizen than Limbaugh. Which means that by his own definition, in the video below, Stewart's attacks on Limbaugh are attacks on a private citizen:
If anyone wants an example of a private citizen being attacked, look no further than Joe the Plumber, who in 2008 was minding his own business when then-candidate Obama approached him. Joe asked a question, Obama blew it, and Politico's Jonathan Martin went into oppo-research mode to help his colleagues in the MSM destroy the man.
That's a private citizen.
Sandra Fluke is not.
When it comes to free speech, Jon Stewart is the worst. If you remember, his entire Rally to Restore Sanity was all about lecturing the rest of us about how we should debate and discuss politics. And let's never forget that his doppelganger, Stephen Colbert, spent the better part of this winter attacking political speech in the form of super PACS — you know, even though Colbert works for a multi-national corporation spending millions to further a political agenda through Colbert's show.
The pathetic thing about Stewart, though, is that he'll puff himself up in front of the world and lecture us about civility and then turn around and tell Fox News to "shut the fuck up" and call Limbaugh a "blob." (Fat jokes, Jon? Really?)
But "shut the fuck up" perfectly crystallizes everything Jon Stewart is: a hypocrite unwilling to live by his own lecture series and a Leftist fighting to silence others through shaming campaigns of humiliation and his own false sense of moral grandeur. (All of it backed by a multi-national corporation spending millions to further a political agenda.)
And Stewart's obviously another one like Maher, another "comedian" so blinded by partisanship that he's somehow convinced himself that Bill Maher (and therefore himself) is somehow entitled to more free speech than the rest of us.
Moreover, by telling Fox News to "shut the fuck up," Stewart's proving he's under the un-American belief that Maher is somehow inoculated from others exercising their free speech when it comes to criticizing him.
Here's the bottom line: When Stewart says "the language of satire is slightly different than the language of broadcasters," what he really means is "more protected."
Stewart is a disgrace to everything a true "satirist" is supposed to be.

FIBROMYALGIA SYNDROME is Not a Fashionable Label
Stop telling people that you "think" Fibromyalgia is a symptom of something, or a "catch-all" label for something that can't be otherwise identified. If you are a public speaker, or have any kind of a public following, you are not helping us by doing that. If you are not a physician educated on the topic, or a patient living with this SYNDROME, just stop. It has taken many, many years, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, to finally be taken seriously by the medical community and even a portion of the public, and it is a very definite individual diagnosis even qualifying as a stand-alone application for disability! Quit trying to drag us backwards.
Educating yourself on this topic is not all that difficult these days. This is not about conjecture and philosophizing about the causes of it. You can speculate all day long about why you think it happens to *some* people but that does not make it any less legitimate, nor does it invalidate the diagnosis and make something unworthy of proper medical recognition. It is a neurological condition. Some choose to use medication to manage it, and some of us choose to stick with natural means, but it does require management and treatment either way.
When someone with a public following makes a proclamation that they think something like FMS is some kind of emotional issue, it only makes life more difficult for those of us trying to manage it in our lives. You are validating completely uneducated and critical friends and family of ours and creating more problems that we don't need. Do us a favor and just don't try to speak on the topic if you can't be bothered to catch up with current info. I am not advocating for anyone to not deal with emotional damage if they have it. Please just do not label Fibromyalgia as being solely an outcropping from something like that. The two issues are distinctly individual, and can exist independent of the other. Even if some traumatic event was the trigger that set it in motion, mending emotional pain is not a guarantee to end the manifestation of the syndrome. It shows up quite often in autoimmune patients for a reason. Nobody has figured that out yet but it IS on the suspected list for being autoimmune itself. Stop making our work harder for us.

She's either a professional photographer or just a really, really good photographer, and takes an "unportrait" of her kids every week. The goal is to capture them just as they

My photography class ended last week, and Tom told me that, as a graduate of Photography 101, I'm not allowed to take any more bad photos. I've never really used the Auto setting on our camera, but now I'm experimenting with even more — ISO, exposure, light metering. The unfortunate truth is that the more I experiment with
One of Tom's Christmas presents to me this year was a photography class. And, before I go any further, talk about a slam-dunk Christmas from Tom. I got him a jacket he didn't want and underwear. I want to take a moment to publicly apologize. After we, um, lost our DSLR this fall, we upgraded to a

The idea of focusing on employees' overall wellness is not new to the 21st century. According to Gainer in History of ergonomics and occupational therapy (2008), the idea of workplace wellness began with Bernardini Ramazzini, an Italian physician, in the 1600's. Ramazzini focused on the effects of work exposure on the employees and was interested in preventative measures to improve employee well being.

Through the Lens with Leon Lorenz
Wild River Adventures 2017
Wednesday, November 1, 2017 - 16:00 Leon Lorenz
Part 1 - Every August for more than 25 years remote rivers, spawning Chinook salmon, and grizzly bears have drawn me from other projects to film these three amazing wonders of nature together. The rivers where I concentrate my time are all part of the Fraser River watershed. They start their journey from melting snowpacks and glaciers back in the mountains, ever increasing in size as they pick up tributaries along its way to the Fraser River. The water has a voice of its own, sometimes roaring as if in protest as its hurtled downhill and over large rocks, through log jams and around sharp corners. Other times you can barely hear a whisper as the water flows with hardly a ripple. The saying "quiet waters run deep" surely applies to these rivers and creeks as the water depth can change from six inches to 10 feet or more in less than a stones throw.
I really admire the Chinook salmon. They are the largest of the five main Pacific Ocean species, with the other four being the Sockeye, Pink, Chum and Coho. Most of them now as four-year-olds have returned to their natal river where their life began. They have escaped from hungry predators, battled waterfalls and rapids, missed various fishing operations, and some swam over 1000 km up the Fraser River. The odds of them making it back is very slim indeed, as on average two will return to spawn of approximately 6000 eggs that each female will lay.
The grizzly bear is the most feared and respected animal in North America. It is fast and powerful enough to catch and kill an adult moose under the right conditions and every human and animal sits up and takes notice when the "King of the Mountain " enters their space. Grizzlies love eating fresh salmon, and those that live near a salmon-bearing river are very fortunate indeed. The grizzly bear is one of my favorite animals to film and capturing this magnificent creature charging after salmon with water flying everywhere, well what can I say, it doesn't get any better than that.
We humans are creatures of habit and I decided for this year 2017 to return to where I had previous filming success in past years. My plan was to go for ten days; however, I knew the weather could make or break my trip. Lots of rain usually means high, murky water and the bears will then generally spend most of their time forging for berries, grubs, roots and various vegetation in the forest rather then following the rivers. Also, I've observed over the past quarter of a century that the number of Chinook salmon that now return is only a fraction of what it was when I first started filming in 1991. Ambushing for grizzlies with only three or four salmon in the spawning channel can be quite discouraging. The more salmon there are in any given location the better, which translates into lots of action in the water. They are more easily caught by hungry bears which makes for exciting footage to capture.
The first river I checked was higher than normal for mid August and also quite murky, and my big disappointment was that there was hardly any salmon there. A highlight for me to observe - but unfortunately was not able to film - was the very first salmon I saw for the spawning season actually being caught by a mature bald eagle. The struggling salmon had no chance to escape the powerful talons of the eagle that had a firm grip around the gills area. This all happened in a span of about ten seconds, and by the time the eagle had the salmon landed on the gravel bar it spotted me and quickly flew away. Only once before have I seen this extremely rare event and fortunately I was able to film it, which can be seen in my "Journey Home of the Chinook Salmon" film. I explored more areas along the river that evening and next morning without seeing much for spawning Chinooks so I decided to head to another one of my favourite rivers.
By mid afternoon I arrived at my new location and found the river crystal clear and quite low, which is what I hoped for. Now hopefully there will be some decent number of salmon to make things interesting. My thoughts go to when I first came to this river nearly 20 years ago. I had parked my pickup and had decided I would walk for just a few minuets to the river to check for salmon and bear tracks so I didn't bother to bring my camera gear with me. As I broke out of the bush and stepped on to the gravel bar I spotted a grizzly heading in my direction about 50 yards away. I stepped back into the forest and decided to hurry back for my camera, but the bear was gone before I returned. I knew it was a shot in the dark but I decided to try anyway.
Part - 2
I found that the ideal way to travel this river was by a small and light nine-foot kayak as it is easy to pack around log jams and tow if the water is too shallow or too fast to paddle upstream. I stowed my camera in the waterproof compartment, tied on my pack and headed upstream as two ospreys circled overhead. This stretch of the river was quite deep in spots and the paddling wasn't difficult. A quarter of a mile upstream the water depth became quite shallow with a faster current, however I managed to keep the kayak moving forward without getting out and towing. The next corner of the river two white-tailed deer suddenly frightened by my presence bounded from the gravel bar and into the safety of the forest. With mounting excitement and anticipation of what may lay ahead for filming opportunities I slowly but steadily worked my way upstream. As I paddled I scanned the sandy areas for bear tracks and made a mental note of all the spawning groups of salmon that I encountered. Most of these spawning channels didn't offer a decent ambush location, which is a must for filming grizzlies fishing this narrow river. For nearly one hour I headed upstream until I reached a big "S" turn in the river, which contained a massive log jam. Here I noted a number of salmon, not a lot but enough to make things interesting if a grizzly came along. Quickly and silently as possible I landed and dragged my kayak up the bank and set up my camera gear. All the hard paddling had me very hot and sweaty, and I knew that even if I was to have a remote chance of filming grizzlies close up I would have to eliminate my scent as much as possible. Cold water baths are nothing new to me so I stripped off my clothes and quickly got refreshed. This location is ideal as I could spot incoming grizzlies or other wildlife from 200 feet in either direction. Also I am elevated about five feet on one end of the log jam which is actually a grassy knoll of an active beaver lodge.
As I scan the river constantly in both directions for grizzlies I have my eyes on angry looking black clouds rolling in by late afternoon. Rain is certainly what is needed for the many wildfires burning in the province, but heavy rain can also turn my trip into a complete failure. With each passing hour the sky gets darker, the thunder crashes and there is no doubt the sky was going to open up soon. I knew I could paddle downstream at least three times as fast as coming upstream so I stayed until about one hour before dark, which is sooner than I normally would leave, then I packed up and left. I have been caught in heavy rain before when kayaking on this river and it certainly is not fun.
Paddling hard against the wind but fortunately going now with the current I managed to skim over the shallow areas with gravel scraping on the bottom of the kayak. With heavy thunder and lightning striking all around I land my kayak, grab my camera gear and dash up the bank as the rain starts. Suddenly my eye catches branches moving on the opposite riverbank, and a large grizzly steps out of the bush.
There was no question that the bear either heard or smelled me as he was on high alert. I remained motionless until the bear turned to head downstream, and despite the rain I quickly attached my camera on the tripod and managed some low light footage as the bear that was obviously heading for heavy cover, waded the river and disappeared into the forest.
By the time I packed up my camera the heavens really opened up as I ran to my camp. All through the night the rain pounded down and by early morning the rain was over, however, the sky was still very overcast. The river overnight had turned into a very powerful, high and dirty flood. I debated whether to even venture upstream in my kayak; however, I decided to try. Once again ospreys circled and cried around me as I left, and this time I realized why. On a broken off tree just a short ways in the forest was their large nest which I had failed to see the day before. The only advantage of all the high water that I could think of was, I could now paddle through most of the shallow spots where under normal conditions I would have to get out and tow the kayak.
What a contrast with the river from the day before I thought. The chance of filming something was pretty remote in such terrible river conditions as I couldn't even see the salmon now, and with such high water it could take at least two or three days for the water level to drop and become clear again. Several hours later I can't shake this gut feeling that waiting at this location was not going to be very productive and I'd be just wasting my time. I decided to head downstream and check out a fairly large tributary to this river, which also has Chinooks spawning in it, and maybe the water won't be so high and dirty there. Arriving at the mouth of this creek I was pleasantly surprised that the water wasn't nearly as high as I expected and it was also fairly clean. Here I had to abandon my kayak and bushwhacked the rivers' edge as there were endless log jams to contend with. In 2005 I had arranged with the Fisheries and Oceans to film their operation of counting the number of Chinooks along this creek. They had picked me up near the river with their helicopter and we had followed the twisty turns of this watershed flying just above the treetops. What we flew in minutes, now bushwhacking the rivers' edge takes me hours of hard toil as I pack my gear and scramble over log jams and cross fast water.
The spawning salmon was low in number here, however, I did notice some grizzly tracks, which was encouraging. I came to a fast section of the river where I wanted to cross with the water about 18 inches deep. I almost always use a pole in fast water crossings, but a quick search revealed no such handy support pole so without hesitation I carefully started to cross. Suddenly without warning the power of the current pushed at my feet and legs with such force that in the blink of an eye I lost my footing on the slimy rocks and fell face first in the water. Just as fast I was back on my feet, I was now drenched from heard to toe. On the shore I wrung out my socks, dumped the water out of my waders and proceeded to a deep pool area where I had seen four graceful river otters a year earlier. There were a few Chinooks spawning below the pool, so I decided that was where I would ambush till the water cleared in the main part of the river. I knew it wasn't the ideal place, for now it would have to do. Besides, I was soaking wet.
The sun was trying to break though the clouds so I peeled off my clothes and wrung them out as best I could and started hanging them on nearby branches to dry. I realized I was breaking one of my many filming rules: "First thing, always get the camera ready for action".
So here I am standing in my birthday suit hanging up my clothes, and wouldn't you believe it, I hear something coming out of the bush about 40 feet away. I turned to see a mother grizzly bear with her cub about to enter the log jam that I'm on. My first thought was, what bad timing for grizzlies to show up. I tried in vain to get my camera out of my backpack without being detected, but alas she heard me and quickly disappeared with her cub. I believe I won't break this filming rule again. For the next two days I searched the area sometimes ambushing here at the log jam, other times slowly following the river; however, I never saw hide nor hair of the mother grizzly and her cub again. Closest I came to encountering grizzlies on this side creek was when I was hiking out near dark. I noticed paths of water-soaked rocks where two grizzlies had crossed the creek and water had poured off their coats leaving an easy to read story on the gravel bar.
Part 3
With the return of clear skies over the last couple of days the water in the main channel of the river had dropped nearly a foot and was almost clear. Again I used my kayak to navigate upstream to my previous location. There was now even more salmon spawning than before the heavy rain. The saying "good things come to those that wait" is never truer than for a patient wildlife filmmaker; however, as each day would pass and still no grizzlies or anything else exciting to film besides beavers and merganser ducks, I began to wonder if the grass was greener somewhere else. At the crack of dawn each day I would be kayaking upstream to my location, then spend nearly 14 hours in ambush. During the heat of the day when the likelihood of a bear showing up was slim I sometimes would kayak either up or downstream for a while to break the boredom that comes when there is no action. Sometimes floating slowly across large deep pools and using my paddle blade to shield the sun and make a shadow on the water to cut the glare I would see large schools of whitefish near the bottom. Why didn't I bring my fishing rod? One such pool I slowly drifted on for about 200 feet and noted there probably was well over 1000 fish in it. I made a mental note to someday ambush river otters at this pool.
Early morning and from mid to late afternoon most wildlife are more active, especially when the weather is hot and this is especially true for bears. The bears of coarse enjoy the cover of darkness and may look for food sources like spawned out salmon through part of the night. When my wanted wildlife subjects don't show up over long periods of time I have to keep reminding myself to just keep doing what has brought me success in the past.
By five o'clock in the afternoon I am on extra high alert, constantly checking both directions of the river for bears as one or more could break around the corner anytime. The conditions are now excellent, with clean water and spawning salmon for a hungry predator to come and fish.
I first saw just the grizzly's large head and front legs and my heart soared. Finally I'm able to film some action if he doesn't detect my presence. Quickly I get the camera powered up and start recording as the male grizzly makes a slow deliberate stalk toward the spawning Chinooks, then explodes though the water at them. However, the salmon were in water nearly two feet deep and escaped the hungry bear. With water pouring off his thick coat it continued on past me to the top of the big "S" corner and tried his luck again with similar results.
I was elated to finally be able to film close up of a large grizzly in action. All the hard paddling, bushwhacking, cold water baths at 6 a.m., waiting, hoping and praying has paid off for me at last. Praise the Lord! As I kayaked downstream with the moonlight reflecting off the water and salmon splashing I felt truly blessed that I enjoy my work despite all the many hardships. Nearing the end of a large quiet pool in the river and very near dark I suddenly hear close by a grizzly huffing and puffing its disapproval of my presence before it moves deeper into the forest. I smile and paddle on.
The next day with my mind still abuzz from filming the beautiful grizzly so close up, a large white-coloured male gray timber wolf suddenly steps out from the forest 75 feet away and sniffs around some salmon scraps where a bear had dined days earlier. I was only four feet from my camera and I knew if I attempted to get behind it the wolf's peripheral vision would catch my movement, so I just watched and waited. Soon it continued its journey downstream, and when a bunch of stumps and logs obscured my sight from the wolf I quietly eased behind the camera and recorded beautiful close up 4K footage for nearly one minute. At one point the wolf, who was belly deep in the water, went right past a pair of spawning Chinooks, as I'm sure he knew it would be futile to try to make a catch in such deep water.
The next day was the last filming day of this trip and again it turned out to be beautiful and warm. Mid afternoon found me repairing my throw-over camouflage blind, which has helped me capture many wonderful shots over the years. The sun was shining off the water on the upstream side of the "S" turn with a mirror life reflection so I worked with my back turned to it.
Suddenly I heard loud splashing behind me and I turned to see a grizzly lunging after salmon. As the sun was nearly blinding me from that direction I wasn't checking there for bears nearly as often as downstream from me. This grizzly, smaller than the earlier one and lighter in colour, had no salmon to show for its recent effort and continued downstream towards me. As it reached the log jam I could hear low grunting sounds coming from its throat. It started pacing back and forth in the water and I could see it was using its front paws to feel for any spawned out salmon. Failing to locate any it continued past the edge of the log jam with the distance of only 40 feet between us.
At this close range it is extremely difficult to go undetected from the super keen sense of smell that grizzly bears have. As the bear reached the point in the water that is downstream from me it catches my scent and with unhappy huffing it wades slowly to shore, climbs the riverbank and disappears into the bush. The bears regularly only smell me when they are on the downstream side of me as my scent molecules, which are constantly falling off my body, are being carried downstream by the water and air to the bear's nostrils.
With darkness closing in I pack up and head downstream slowly and quietly. I thoroughly enjoy kayaking down with the current and with the nearly full moon shining between the towering spruce trees, well its simply beautiful. I glide past a number of spawning salmon and then startle a kingfisher off a low over hanging branch.
Words cannot describe the peace and tranquility I experienced throughout this wilderness filming trip. Yes there was danger and hardships, but the rewards are great when one doesn't give up.

Science and Technology
Since 1858 till 1948, India has been under the British rule, the period also known as 'British Raj'. The scientific, technological and medical developments that took place remains to be a debate till today of whether India introduced its own developments or silently borrowed from the West. But a history of science in India must also be a history of India, not merely a history of the projection of western science onto India. Over this 200-year period, there were three main elements that broadly typified science, technology and medicine in India. They are: 1) Traditions of India's own science, technology and medicine were subject to internal variations and different historical and cultural practices, and the legacies these provided for the subsequent era of the British rule. 2) The social and intellectual impact of the nature of western science, technology and medicine as practised in India. 3) Authority of science, technology and medicine as central attributes of India's modernity, drawing upon indigenous as well as western sources. In astronomy, particularly in mathematics and medicine, Hindu science was considered to have been amazingly advanced well before the dawn of the Christian era and to have been the root of the discoveries such as Arabic numeral and the use of zero that were later taken up and incorporated into western civilization. However, Indian civilization was unable to maintain its achievements and failed into decline. It is believed that it happened because of 'the rise of the Muslim power in South Asia in AD 1100' (Arnold, 2000. P. 3). Moreover, there has been a continuous emphasis to demonstrate that India, far from existing in cultural and technological isolation, had over the centuries borrowed extensively from and contributed generously to the scientific and technological knowledge of neighbouring regions, Middle East, China, and South East Asia and in the fields as diverse as architecture, astronomy, chemistry, agriculture, medicine and textile production.
It has been reasoned that science was not a property of a single society but could be truly cosmopolitan, absorbing and assimilating information and ideas from a wide variety of sources and location. Britain believed that it had a capacity to modernise and civilise India, but there was a contradiction or a sort of a belief that the Indians were unready to receive the benefits of scientific modernity. During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Indian scientists and intellectuals tried to construct their own brand of India modernity, particularly through the selective incorporation of Hindu ideas and traditions.
British Raj, officially known as the British Indian Empire, was a historical period during which most of the Indian subcontinent (that is India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar) were under the colonial authority of the British Empire. Prior to 1858, Britain's interest and possessions in India had been administered by the British East India Company. The British East India Company started in 1600 and ended in 1874. It was chartered by Queen Elizabeth 1 for trade with Asia. The Company closely regulated European access to India in order to preserve its commercial privileges. The aim of the merchants was to break the Dutch monopoly of the spice trade with the East Indies. Later in 1623, it was defeated by the Dutch and then turned to concentrate on their activities in India.
At first, astronomy seemed a likely bridge between Western and Indian scientific knowledge. Europeans were employed as astronomers at Indian courts. A further stimulus to British interest in Indian astronomy was a paper by the Scots mathematician John Playfair in 1789 on 'the Astronomy of the Brahmins'. This took up the idea, earlier put forward by the French astronomers Le Gentil and Bailly that Indian astronomy was not part of the western astronomical tradition, but that it was an entirely separate...
