CDS-ACJ Workshop
Development, Welfare, and Well-being from Below: Challenges to Reporting from/of the Local
29-30 April, 2017
A workshop was conducted on the theme "Development, Welfare, and Well-being from Below: Challenges to Reporting from/of the Local" by the Research Unit on Local self Governments(RULSG) at the Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram in association with the Asian College of Journalism, Chennai during 29-30 April, 2017 at the CDS.
This joint exercise was an attempt to reflect collectively and throw some light on some of the questions concerning 'development journalism' in the contemporary period of globalisation which is witnessing an attack on people oriented development agenda. The workshop sessions focussed on issues like how has the opening up of economy and society to global flows affected the way we perceive of 'development', the 'local', and their mutual connection and how may we rejuvenate development journalism as adequate to our (admittedly hard) times? An equally important concern of this workshop was about the academic-journalist interface in illuminating and making sense of development, welfare, and well-being in India. Another major focus of the workshop was on the changing paradigm of development in Kerala and the status of local level development process initiated under the decentralisation project. The deliberations also produced a number of possibilities of collaborative work between journalists and academics focused on development issues, which the RULSG intends to explore.
An array of journalists, public activists and academics took part in the deliberations that spanned over four sessions in two days. Noted journalists, Shri P Sainath, Shri Sashi Kumar(also Chairman of Asian College of Journalism), Smt.Nalini Rajan( ACJ), Shri Gouridasan Nair (The Hindu), Smt. Monobina Gupta (formerly with the Times of India), Shri Sukumar Muralidharan(Jindal School of Journalism), Shri M G Radhakrishnan(Asianet TV) and B R P Bhaskar took part in discussions. Civil rights activist Shri Anand Teltumbde and academics, Prof. M A Oommen, Prof. K P Kannan, Prof. K N Harilal also participated in discussions in addition to a number of journalists from the local media and researchers and teachers. Dr.Sunil Mani, Director, Centre for Development Studies, introduced the CDS to the participants and Dr. J Devika, Co-ordinator, RULSG presented the summary report of the workshop.

It is no longer possible to submit a session proposal (deadline was 1 March 2018).
ECNP aims to establish an exciting scientific programme for the 32nd ECNP Congress with a broad range of topics.
The Scientific Programme Committee (SPC) invites you to contribute by submitting a proposal for a full session in applied and translational neuroscience.
The SPC also welcomes session proposals from allied disciplines, including neurology and psychology.
If you have a great idea for a session, please share your innovative topic(s) with us.
Sessions can be submitted in the following three formats:
Symposium proposal
In each symposium, four speakers present on a specific topic. Each speaker gets 20 minutes to present and will leave 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Your symposium proposal should include:
• A symposium title
• Four lecture titles and speakers (additionally, one back-up speaker)
• A short outline explaining the topic (max. 250 words)
• Optionally, one chair may be suggested
Educational update proposal
Educational updates focus on a continuous dialogue between participants and the presenters. Different angles of a subject are discussed and state-of-the-art summaries are provided, with emphasis on new information relevant for clinical practice. A 'key pad' multiple choice system is used to make the sessions more interactive.
Your educational update proposal should include:
• A session title
• Two titles and speakers (additionally, one back-up speaker)
• A short outline explaining the topic (max. 250 words)
• Optionally, one moderator may be suggested
Alternative proposal
During an alternative session a specific topic or important new information is shared in a more interactive way. Such a session could be, for example, a panel discussion or a debate.
Your alternative session proposal should include:
• A session title
• Speakers (if applicable)
• A short description of the session format and a short outline explaining the topic (max. 250 words)
• Optionally, one moderator/chair may be suggested
Preparing your proposal
Please make sure that you submit a succinct session outline and include informative, but appealing titles for all presentations. The outline should introduce the topic and its relevance and importance for the advancement of the scientific field, as well as its translational value and interest to the scientific community. The outline should also demonstrate that the proposed talks form a coherent and balanced translational approach to the topic. Proposals that have a clear translational approach are more likely to be selected by the SPC.
Also, please consider the geographical and gender balance of your speakers. Preference is given to one speaker per country and an equal division between male and female speakers; symposia from only one country will not be accepted. At this point there is no need yet to get formal approval from the proposed speakers.*
* Please do not invite or ask approval from the proposed speakers. If selected, your proposal (content and speakers) may still be changed by the SPC.
Finally, ECNP encourages the use of Neuroscience-based Nomenclature (NbN-2) terminology for psychotropic medications, as it reflects contemporary pharmacological knowledge, rather than arbitrary descriptors based on indications or chemical structure.
Please download the free app for NbN-2 (http://nbnomenclature.org/) and the Instructions for Authors (https://www.nbn2.com/authors).
The ECNP Office will confirm receipt of your submission by e-mail. If you have not received a confirmation within two weeks of submitting your proposal, please notify the ECNP Office via email.
Selection of proposals
When selecting proposals, the SPC will take into account:
• Whether a topic or speaker has been on the programme of the last three ECNP Congresses (programme details of previous ECNP Congresses can be found here).
• If a proposal forms a coherent and balanced approach to the topic
• The geographical spread and gender balance of the proposed speakers
• The expected (near) future scientific breakthroughs and/or highlights
• The structure of the scientific programme in five parallel sessions and the spread over the topics to be covered
You will be informed of the SPC's decision by October 2018. ECNP will not enter into discussion about the outcome.

This is great stuff Viola!!
Want More Leads From Your Website? Click Here to Download Free eBook
Are you a local business owner?
Do you have a website?
(I sure hope so, if not that's a whole different conversation…)
I get this question asked a lot:
Today I am talking directly to local business owners who live in my area.
Because most of my clients are from this area and I understand the business dynamics of this region. Yes, there are a lot of similarities all across the country, continent and even the world but I find that I am able to help businesses in my area better because I understand their target market better.
Not all search results on Google (or any search engine) are the same!
Google delivers three types of search results: paid, organic and local.
I am only going to talk about local search results today.
The localized search results are usually tied into a map and reviews. My local search in Calgary yields local store locations. This is also called the 3 pack or snack pack because there are only 3 results showing.
I know…, SEO (search engine optimization) is the mysterious, elusive and right down annoying…there is a lot of uncertainty and misinformation around it.
The reality is no matter how you look at it and how active you are on social media your website will not show up in the searches on Google if it is not optimized... Typically, this involves choosing key words or more like key phrases your services and products are being searched under and associated with and trying to speak a little "search engines" language so your website will have a chance to show up when those words are typed in by prospects.
Why does the business down the street shows up in local search results, but not yours?
There are some strategies and technical aspects that need to be applied (Google has over 200 ranking factors) BUT there are also some very simple changes you can make yourself and have awesome results!
Here are 2 simple steps you can take immediately. By the way, when I say results, please be mindful that it takes some time for the search engines to recognize your change so if you are looking at the search results as soon as you made them, the next day or next hour…you won't see it.
Just one more tip before I share the 2 steps. Google is looking for consistent changes/improvements on your site, meaning, if you just make a change and then you don't touch your site for months…..you can't expect to keep the benefit of that change. Your ranking will slide.
OK, here are the 2 steps to improve your local search results.
Yes, NAP. I mean, don't take a nap but do take special care to make sure your Name, Address and Phone number show up consistently all over the web, starting with your website. If your address is: 21 Happy Street, {Flood}, AB then you should be consistent and don't switch it up to 21 Happy ST. Or 21 Happy St., Calgary, Alberta….You get my point.
NAP should be:
Getting consistent NAP on the internet does not necessarily guarantee front line placement in the local results but it will definitely help. So what else can you do?
Let's talk about credibility. How do people and search engines determine which businesses are more reputable? There are a few factors, but a very important factor, is reviews, online reviews to be exact.
These are not the testimonials on your website, these are reviews that can, to some degree, be independently verified by the search engines, reviews from review sites, and on Google where people can only add a review if they use their email address or have an account. These kinds of reviews are more credible. Of course, if somebody wants to be dishonest…they'll find a way but for the most part people are pretty honest and straight forward.
Ask and encourage your customers to review your business on Google, Yelp, Facebook, industry review sites and anywhere else where they have an opportunity. If you only choose one, go with Google reviews. Why? For the simple fact that Google favors….well, Google.
Some people worry about bad reviews…just so you know you can still get bad reviews even if you think you are not actively "online". This way at least you can address the bad reviews and most likely make them irrelevant with all the good reviews you are getting.
Hope this helps.
To our success!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Please leave a comment and I will respond promptly.

Have you seen the photos from Entertainment Weekly's spread on the Hunger Games trio? It's so fun to see them transform into their individual characters. I'm getting increasingly excited for this movie. Joseph, Anna, and I are reading our way through the series again.
I just started the first book ten minutes ago. I think it's worse this time around. I know the ending of the story, and I know what's going to happen to them. Because of this, it's harder to read. PB&J posted an amazing review of the books the other day. I'd highly suggest reading it. :)
I'm just at the part where Peeta gives Katniss the bread. I think this is the part where we first fall in love with him. He's one of my favorite characters (second only to Finnick). I like how hard he tries to keep Katniss alive- even before they get to the arena.
Have you read the Hunger Games yet? What did you think?

"We stayed at this apartment for a week in October 2013 with our family (5 people, all adults). We enjoyed our time a lot in Uskudar. The location of the apartment is good, at walking distance to the Uskudar ferry station. From there you can take ferries to Eminonu or Kabatas (15 min ride) or to Besiktas (5 min ride). Eminonu and Besiktas districts are nearby the highlights of Istanbul. Furthermore, the apartment is very close to an open-market which is open daily until 9 pm. You can get fresh vegetables, fruits, bread, fish and grilled chicken. The apartment has a spacious terrace at the roof with couple of chairs, small table and a swing. The terrace offers a spectacular view of the Bosphorous. Uskudar is one of the oldest districts at the Asian part of Istanbul and not touristy at all so if you are interested to be in a more local and traditional part of the town you should choose this spot. We enjoyed our stay however; we have a few complaints too. Uskudar is the one of the most conservative part of Istanbul. The apartment is surrounded by numerous mosques and tombs. Imam makes sure that you wake up everyday at 5 am for the call. It is hard to find a bar or a restaurant that serves alcohol near the apartment. Uskudar is also very crowded and dirty and there are a lot of street cats around. The kitchen was pretty disappointing. Although the apartment is advertised to be suitable for 7 people there were not enough silver ware, cups, wine glasses, Turkish tea glasses for 7 people. We love cooking all together at home but we could not do that as easy there. The pans were heavily used and scratched. The bathrooms were tiny and the broken lid was fixed with tape. A hole on the ground in the shower was covered by a random tile. The apartment would be more suitable for 4 people instead of 7 because the couch beds are placed in the dining room and makes it less handy. We had problems with electricity. Overall we think that the apartment is not worth the price. It may be cheaper for example 1000 euros per week would be more suitable. "
"Dear client, thank you for your valuable feedback. We are very glad to know all the good things about the apartment and also the area where is located. Indeed Uskudar, despite its conservative air, is one of the most authentic districts in Istanbul, with many things to do and great for food shopping. As per the apartment, the manager has already taken action and bought some new plates, wine glases and other things that the kitchen may need. He will also bring somebody to fix the small problem in the toilet. Finally, there are indeed enough bedding arrangements for 7 people, counting sofa-beds, but of course perhaps the apartment will be better suited for those used to some flexibility or with young children. All in all we trust that you enjoyed Istanbul all the way! we look forward to hearing from you in the near future. "
"Fine, that we could stay a little longer on the last day!"
"Fijn, dat we nog wat langer op de laatste dag konden blijven!"
"quiet, super views over the Bosphorus, comfortable sleeps 5 people, very friendly landlord, short walk to the ferry more than 140 m ^ 2 area and not 200 m ^ 2 as indicated on the website"
"ruhig, super Blick über den Bosporus, komfortabel Platz für 5 Personen, sehr freundlicher Vermieter, kurzer Weg zur Fähre höchstens 140 m^2 Wohnfläche und nicht 200 m^2 wie auf der Internetseite angegeben"
"Great views. Easy access to the ferry, within walking distance. Nice neighborhood."
"Prachtig uitzicht. Goede verbinding met de ferry, op loopafstand. Leuke wijk."
"Space and views of the Bosphorus and the Organization of the House. Lacking nothing and it was nice not to mention the cleanliness of the premises. The three floors to climb and another inside. Over 110 markets from main street to street Efendi. In total 160 markets. It is a little too because it takes alerts people. Besides fit luggage."
"L'espace et la vue sur le Bosphore et l'organisation de la maison. Il ne manquait rien et ce fut fort agréable sans oublier la propreté des lieux. Les trois étages à monter et une autre à l'intérieur. Plus 110 marches de la rue principale à la rue Efendi. Au total 160 marches. C'est un peu trop car ca prend des personnes alertes. Sans compter qu'il faut monter les bagages."
"Dear Annie. Thank you for your feedback. The owner, Eniz, informed us that there is a more convenient way to reach the apartment without stairs, coming from GULFEM street. Hopefully you could at least enjoy the great views after all those stairs."
"Super service, very friendly, all present what you need. Very good location, ideal for exploring every part of Istanbul. Only to recommend."

My sweet daughter, C, came home for reading week on the weekend. Being a clever and foresighted kind of a girl she booked her wisdom teeth removal for this morning (despite it being Family Day, a statutory holiday here, the dental surgeon was working). At 9AM sharp she went in for the surgery and by 10AM we were leaving. Of course, we were leaving again at 10:15AM as the nausea kicked in just as we got to the door the first time... poor little, puff-faced thing just went where guided, murmuring over and over "sorry, sorry, sorry....".
Safely home and tucked into bed on the sofa with painkillers, anti-inflammatories and antibiotics on board. Quite a nice set up - cushions, covers, fireplace, picture window onto greenspace and sky, television, video, water, juice, kleenex, ice packs.... if only she were in shape to enjoy it. Thank goodness the wisdom teeth will soon be relegated to a fast-fading memory, to be remembered with a shudder and no more.
Three impacted wisdom teeth came out, so I expect she'll be hurting for at least a few days. I am (almost) glad, since it gives me a great excuse to hover and baby her a bit. With my youngest child, C, only a year away from a DOUBLE honours bachelor's degree in TWO science programs, you get fairly few opportunities to take care of her like the baby she will always be to me.
I love the time spent with my other baby - art - but children are wondrously special.
This past weekend was particularly child-filled as I spent two days with my youngest niece, E, who is 9, while her Mommy was indisposed. My elder niece, K, is only 13 but called to let us know that she has been invited to enroll at a highly-thought-of boarding academy, and my nephew, A, who is already 17 has, thus far, been accepted at every university to which he applied and has merely to decide which program he most wants to accept. My daughter is home for her wisdom teeth / reading week and my son, R, who is almost 24 is finishing the first half of his graphic design course at college...
I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy watching these bright young people develop their own, special wings and fly bravely toward their futures. I am so grateful to be spreading my own wings with such a positive, encouraging and hopeful response.
Life truly is beautiful.
Happy Beadsday!

We all have those pieces of clothing which are 3 sizes bigger and we buy them just because they are on sale, but they just end up turning into cluster! Well, i love sale items and i always fall victim. But ever since i got my sewing machine, i have been able to alter pieces to fit me exactly how i want! I finally wrote my last paper yesterday and i feel so relieved! Above all i am happy to return to sewing!
This mickey top was a regular short sleeved shirt, and i cut it up into croptop with low arms and i wear it a lot more this way (i guess i can call it a D.I.Y). I paired it with high waisted pants because i don't like to show too much skin on top and bottom at the same time.
I hope everyone is having a blessed week!
Top - D.I.Y
Jeans - Go Jane
Shoes - Zara
Bag/Glasses - H&M

Has anyone tried Weight Watchers
I joined WW last week and since I have had several drops in my blood sugar, has anyone else had this problem? I really need to lose weight but really hate these drops in sugar.
Can someone please help me???
7 replies
I love WW! I had lost a bunch of weight on there a few years ago. I am doing Sparkpeople.com now and I love it! I have lost almost 30 lbs since Jan 10th. Spark People tells me what calories I need to eat everyday. I log my food, fitness and now my sugar on there.they have support groups and more! Check it out! My name is Sugarz on there.
I don't know if you have a diabetes specialist helping or guiding you, but you do need to consume 15 to 20 grams of carbs every couple of hours. You must read labels of everything you consume. As long as you are doing that you shouldn't have a problem. Best wishes.
I good friend of mine has been on WW and has lost a LOT of weight and is doing great! I have never tried WW, but when I change diet (or medicine, for that matter), I have to alter things. Can you talk to your doctor about changing your meds while on WW? Is there a snack you can legitimately sneak in there so you don't drop — a fruit, cup of popcorn, something? When I was on glipizide, I had to cut my dosage in half the days I went to exercise class or I couldn't make it through class!
I am on glipizide too and that maybe my problem. I am going to talk to my ww leader tonight and see what can be done.
In my humble opinion WW gives you too few calories. I read on dlife.com that most diabetics should not be on less than 1500 calories and unless WW has changed they start you off at about 900 or less. IF I were you I would add a carb snack of min 15 grams between the 3 meals. See if it helps. I wish you success. [when I was having a lot of lows I had to eat every 3 hours and drink a Glucerna shake before bed to keep me from plumiting in the night]
I take it that by "drops in sugar" you mean having a Blood Glucose reading below 70?

text: The fair was pretty bustling and we skipped the rides due to insane lines. We allowed Kaleigh to spend the money we would have spent on rides how she wanted though. She got an awesome slingshot, got on a trampoline bungee thing and did flips, and played a game. We found a health hummus and smoothie stand to have some food and enjoyed the foliage on the drive. All in all, it was a fun day.

Vaati daal na khaman
In south guajarat we all love vati daal khaman,I never thought to make it my own, as it was easily available at each gulli, but here first time learned how to make it and its superb.. Felt the same smell of khaman at gulli's farsan shop :)Thanks to my neighbour aunty ..i was bit concerned about the oil part, but ok for once in 2 months or so ..or we can customize :)
Lets divide the whole recipe in four parts : soaking, grinding,steaming, tadka
Chana daal - 3 cups
Moong daal - 1/3 cup
urad daal- 1/3 cup
rice- 2 tbsp
Method: Soak all the ingredients together for 12 hours in a bowl full of water
Oil - 1 cup ( yeah it sounds too much )
Curd- 1 cup
gram flour- 2 tbsp
Method: grind the soaked ingredients with 1 cup oil and 1 cup curd. now keep one container in which we want to fermant , greece the container with the 2tbsp gram flour and oil (consistency should be very thin)
Add the grinded batter in the container , mix well
Let it ferment for 12 hours, thn keep in fridge for another 12 hour to 1 day
Green chili paste 1 tbsp
Ginger paste 1 tbsp
oil for grease and 2 tbsp
Eno - 1 tsp
Keep the steamer on stove with greased plate. cover the steamer with greased plate

1 tbsp oil
mustard seeds, asofeteda
Coriander leaves, shreded coconut for garnishing
Here difference is , we have to let cool the steamed khaman and the tadka both..
Once both are cooled, add tadka, earlier i used to add hot tadka and mustard seeds remained stick sometime, but if we let it cool and spread with spoon, it will spread nicely

The Jaco Hasbroek drawings have been sketched and inked in color by the South African artist. Each illustration features a humorous pun or play on words, adding comic elements to objects such as pipes, chimneys, mugs and the classic computer mouse.
While comedy is often over the top in Hasbroek's depictions, the outlines of varying subjects are simplistic, enabling viewers to concentrate on the message at hand first and the actual portraits second.
Not surprisingly, Hasbroek's creations have been re-produced on t-shirts. Shoppers can thus visually display his witty jokes while walking about. Whether one makes a purchase or not however, the quips can nonetheless be appreciated by perusing his collection of funky miniature figures.

My son and I wanted to travel to India to see the Taj Mahal, but we decided to add on additional days to see more of the country. This was a PERFECT tour. We were in several locations and experienced the culture, people, architecture, history, etc. The driver was THE BEST. The guides were informative and most of them spoke English clearly.
We did this Tour two weeks ago, June 2018. It was very well organized and Shakul from Pacific classic tours did a wonderful job keeping us informed about our travel plans. The guides for the trip were good but Ashok was excellent, knowledgeable and made our visits to the monuments very entertaining. Vasudev and Mahesh our other guides were good and knowledgeable. Our driver Vipin Sharma was excellent. He accompanied us for all five days and was extremely professional and courteous. We had a wonderful trip and would highly recommend this tour and the company Pacific classic tours.
This was a very fast paced tour - you cram a LOT into just a few days. It was great for what we wanted, and all of the guides were very knowledgeable. KK was a fantastic driver who pointed out things on the way, stopped when we asked, and was always on time. On this tour, you get all the highlights of the Golden Triangle in a condensed period. I would definitely recommend!
This tour is hectic but incredible!
Day 1:
We landed three hours before the scheduled pick up time, so they changed it to suit us and we started our tour two hours early. We had a safe, skilled and friendly driver for the whole five days and he was amazing! We spent the morning sightseeing in Delhi with tour guide number one, we also stopped at a carpet makers/fabric shop which was fine but we were followed around being pressured to buy something. We had a good lunch extra before the long drive to Jaipur. Our hotel in Jaipur was spectacular!
Day 2:
After breakfast included, we met our second guide, Asook, who was thoroughly entertaining and knowledgeable. We decided to get to Amber Fort by elephant extra and Asook took some wonderful photos for us. He showed us all the key sites in Jaipur and took us to a great restaurant for lunch extra. Again we stopped at a carpet makers/fabric shop but felt less pressured here to buy something. We did end up buying some cushion covers, but later discovered they were double the price of other shops. We had another drive to the tiger reserve, where we had dinner on arrival included.
Day 3:
We were asked to be downstairs at 5:45am to begin our tiger tour, but they didnt arrive until 6:40am. We didnt see any tigers in the morning, so had breakfast included and a good rest before lunch included and the afternoon tour. Again there was confusion with the timings, we were told 3pm, they turned up at 2:30pm. We saw two tigers on this tour! I have no idea how the driver or the guide spotted them but they were magnificent to see. We had dinner included when we got back.
Day 4:
After breakfast included we began the longest drive 6 hours to Agra. One of the group was really ill and the driver made plenty of stops, including a stop for lunch extra. We went to the bird sanctuary, which was about an hour from Agra and saw a range of birds and mammals there. We were met by our tour guide, for the following day, at the hotel in Agra who explained the arrangements for the Taj Mahal. We had dinner extra in the hotel.
Day 5:
We were out at 5:30am to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise. You do not actually see the sunrise as you are looking at the Taj Mahal but the building is meant to change colours. We spent about two hours here before heading back to the hotel for breakfast included. We were taken to a marble makers and then to the Agra Fort. Here we were told we had no time for shopping, which we were disappointed by. We were dropped at the airport four hours prior to our flight.
Youll need cash for tips.
The scheduled stops along the drive include toilets, souvenirs and food.
You have to pay to use the toilets at the bird sanctuary.
All other toilets you have to pay to get tissue. We took our own.
This was a very busy trip and we spent a lot of time in the car, however I would highly recommend it if you dont have a lot of time to explore the Golden Triangle.
Very nice 5-Day tour to see the best of Rajasthan Agra Taj Mahal. Our driver K.K. Sharma was exceptional. Super safe and very professional. It was indeed essential to do 2 safari game drives in Ranthambhore to be able to see some tigers. We've been very lucky to see 2 of them on the morning safari less than 20 meters from our jeep. The Amber Fort close to Jaipur is a masterpiece, I highly recommend to go up by elephant not included, unforgettable experience.
Excellent organization, congratulation to your indian travel agency partner, driver was always in time. Very good choice of places of interests.
Highly recommended. The hotels were excellent, particularly the Tigress Resort and Spa in Ranthanbhore and the Jaypee in Agra. The service, food and accommodations were exceptional.
We were met on time by our driver for the tour, Vipin Sharma, who picked us up at 3:00 a.m. at the airport and transported us everywhere we went until he took us back to the airport at the end of our tour. Which is good considering driving in India is not for the faint of heart! He was very pleasant, always on time, a careful driver, and very knowledgeable about India, filling us in on info we normally wouldn't get. We plan to request him as our driver when we make a return trip. All of our guides were very knowledgeable and knew where the best pictures and activities would be: In Delhi, Geet in Jaipur, Surya in Agra, Subhash. We especially enjoyed the Amber Fort, City Palace, and the Taj Mahal. Our safari was great. Be sure to dress warm for the morning safari and bring a good camera and/or binoculars there's a lot of wonderful wildlife. Special shops we enjoyed were the Art Palace in Delhi where you can buy Indian-made rugs and the Agra Marble Emporium, where the owner was very personable and accommodating.
It is a very fast tour 5 days, and this worked well for us. If you are wanting to have more down time, you may want to schedule a longer tour.

However, according to NAC on behalf of the 16th judge - Victor Orândaş and a bailiff were issued ordinance of international search. There is information according to which Orândaş would be in the US.
Most magistrates were not presented at the hearing, except Iurie Turcan.
Also, according to lawyers, most magistrates arrested pleaded not guilty and the decisions regarding their arrest will be appealed.
According to ZDG, the searching of one of the magistrates detained two days ago, was approved only today.
Decisions were handed down by court judges from Buiucani: Victor Răţoi, also called the service judge of NAC, Gennady Pavliuc and Mihai Diaconu.
We remind that magistrates detained are suspected of complicity in money laundering in large proportions, being involved in laundering scheme of 20 billion dollars coming from the Russian Federation through Moldindconbank.

By Rana DiOrio, Founder and Chief Executive Pickle of Little Pickle Press
July 27, 2016
This past June our Acquisitions Committee generated our forward production calendar through 2019. We identified some gaps that we would like to fill, and it would delight us to do so with stories written and illustrated by Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators members. Setting that as our intention, and in anticipation of SCBWI's Annual Conference in Los Angeles, CA, here is what we are seeking currently . . .
The common denominators. All of the manuscripts we select involve conveying meaningful messages to children or youth. They catalyze conversations between parents and children, teachers and students, about the topics that matter most to the generation of children we are shaping today. The manuscripts are well written, thought-provoking, progressive, fresh, distinctive and, if a picture book, lend themselves well to not only illustration but also to extrapolation into other mediums, such as interactive eBooks, book apps, and animated shorts, as well as related products, such as toys, games, notecards, etc.
The heart of the matter. At present, we are most interested in receiving young adult submissions. What subject matters are most interesting to us at this point? They include (in no particular order and not exclusively):
• Kindness—the power of it
• Dare To Be Different
• Choices: It's Not All Black And White; Most of Life is Gray (Moral Compass)
• Political Awakening: the choices made by people in power effect us all
• Racism—the deleterious effects of it
• Refugees
• Adoption
• Complex Family Structures
• Anti-Princess Themes
• Creativity—the importance of it, fostering it, etc.
• Leadership and/or Entrepreneurship
• Divergent (vs. Convergent) Thinking
• Systems Thinking
• Responsibility/Accountability/Moving Beyond Gen M Thinking
• Taking Care of Yourself and Your Community/Planting the Seeds of Being a Locavore
• Understanding Mental Health—Yours and Your Loved Ones
• Being The Change You Seek In The World
What we don't want are books with hidden messages to grownups. We want books that convey true messages to children and youth. It is also worth mentioning that we do not shy away from controversial subjects, and we are open-minded about the genres and literary vehicles employed to convey the messages.
First things first. As you consider submitting your manuscript, please learn a little more about Little Pickle Press and our young adult imprint, Relish Media. We are about to re-brand our imprints—Little Pickle Stories for 0 to 10 year olds, Big Dill Stories for 11 to 14 year olds, and Relish Stories for 15+ year olds. Our submissions platform is powered by Authors.me and sets forth our submissions guidelines here. Consider liking Little Pickle Press and Relish Media on Facebook. Please also consider following @LPP_Media and @Relish_Media on Twitter.
Our selection process. Once we receive your submission, our First Reader designated for the target age range of your work reads it within four months and sends the Acquisitions Committee his or her preliminary thoughts. If the First Reader has a favorable opinion of the manuscript, then we have another member of the Acquisitions Committee read it. If the second member of the Acquisitions Committee likes it, then we have a Junior Reader (a reader in the intended age group) read it. If the Junior Reader likes the manuscript, then it gets presented during the next acquisition meeting. If at any point during our process, a team member thinks that the work does not fit for us, then we let you know. Our Acquisitions Committee will next meet to consider submissions on November 10, 2016.
Thanks for your interest. I kindly thank you for your interest in Little Pickle Press and Relish Media and for reading this post. If you choose to send us a submission, thank you also for considering us as your publisher. I know from experience all that you have gone through to get to this point, and I respect and honor you for it.

I hate having a week off between sets of chemotherapy. I understand the logic behind the "rebound week;" it gives my body a chance to prepare for the next onslaught. It is a week buffer that gives my poor cells a chance to attempt formation without the destruction of the toxins pouring into my body. Mentally, it supposedly gives me a week of feeling well between treatments so that I can be ready for the next two weeks of feeling like crap. Sometimes, it even works and I forget that I am sick until it is time to go back.
For me, rebound week is a mental psych out.
When I woke Friday morning, I told myself I didn't want to go to chemotherapy. I hate going and sacrificing my body to torment in the name of a hopeful remission. This week felt especially bleak to me since my week off wasn't full of the ease it normally is. I actually was just as sick as I had been on chemo weeks. Food didn't want to stay down, I was nauseous a lot and, to make things worse, the abdominal pain that had been gone reared its ugly head. The pain, for the record, was terrible: sharp and quick, it had me doubled over at work with tears in my eyes. Had it not faded away and become just a dull ache I could tolerate, I would have dragged myself to the emergency room.
Once I forced myself to the doctor's office, the appointment was pretty standard: fill in a symptom sheet, get weighed –I am putting on weight, drat!–, vitals taken. Nothing out of the norm. This week, I met with both the nurse practitioner and my physician. Again, while I really like the nurse practitioner, Linda, I prefer meeting with Dr. Brooks. He makes me feel more confident in the methods we are using and she just makes me more confused. Meeting with them both, however, is rare since they are usually so busy. The pattern has been that I meet with the good doctor on my first week back and Linda the second. I was a little thrown off by seeing them both.
The news this week was mixed. They believe my insurance might pay for the bulk, but not all, of my Lupron shot. My fingers are crossed as the shot is more expensive this way than it was through the pharmacy. I really want to hold on to the hope that we will see through this and have a family of our own the old fashioned way. Without the shot, there's really little to no hope of that; my eggs won't survive the chemotherapy.
Apparently, I was also supposed to go last Friday for a biopsy. Did I? No. Why? Well a flaw in their computer system prevented the scheduler at Dr. Brooks' office from setting it up with the hospital. I was never scheduled to have the biopsy, and therefore, never went. I hadn't called to follow up on the second biopsy because I thought the insurance company was putting up a stink. Most companies will permit a biopsy to confirm a diagnosis, but this was for something else entirely. The doctor wanted a bigger sample of tumor –take it all I say—to test what chemotherapy the tumor wouldn't respond to and to do further testing on the tumor to see if I qualify for studies. All I want is to feel better, so I'll do anything. Unfortunately, that means missing a day of work this week and feeling extra horrible for chemo this week. Thursday I go for the biopsy, which means being really sore on Friday when I go in for chemotherapy. I can hardly wait (read sarcastically).
Also, this taught a valuable lesson: if they mention further testing and you don't hear back from them in a timely manned, call and confirm.
After meeting with Dr. Brooks and Linda, chemo itself was actually not a horrible event. Milo sat with Malika and me for a while and we played a trivia game. He bought us lunch and stayed with us while we ate before heading home to work on some cleaning and homework. Malika and I have settled into a pattern of chatting and fooling around online during the sessions, which seem to go much faster now that I bring plenty to do. I still miss Carla, the chemo nurse, who is on vacation in the Mediterranean. I hope she's having a great trip.
Unfortunately, this weekend didn't go as smoothly as past chemo weekends had. While it wasn't near as horrible as my first experience with chemo, it ran a close second. I managed to keep food down, but the nausea was incredible and the lethargy was off the chart. It started much earlier than normal; right after chemo finished in fact. Normally, we attribute a little bit of the nausea to how badly the chemo constipates me, but that always starts on Saturday and this week we found the right combination of medications to fight that particular issue. More than anything, I wanted the nausea and abdominal pain to go away, but it wouldn't. I tried to fight through it and enjoy Pima Community College's Trunk-or-Treat, but when we finally returned home I was even more drained and my stomach was worse yet. I did, however, make it through a trip to the grocery store this morning; I'll call this a win.
I still won't be looking forward to chemo on Friday or the biopsy, which they better knock me out for this time, on Thursday, but I will press on. As Milo likes to point out, I am doing this to live. I definitely want to live and have fifty years with my amazing husband, who couldn't be more supportive through all of this. I am truly blessed that he is still by my side despite it all. Now I hope that we have the outcome we both want so all the struggling will be worth it.

Original session date: June 2011
Philip Marlowe and Mason Graves find themselves standing alone by the broken body of the deputy, surrounded only by the wail of the rushing wind. Marlowe drops to the ground and takes a moment to dig through his jacket pocket. He retrieves a lone cigarette, raises it to his lips, and ignites the end with his lighter, all without speaking a word. Graves takes a pair of handcuffs off the deputy's body and spends a minute examining the surroundings. He walks over to the shed where he had discovered the body of a man the day before. He notices that the body is gone and there are fresh drag marks leading up the hill, most likely to a grave site.
Graves looks off in the distance and sees the shanty town sprawled out before him. Marlowe finishes his cigarette and sees Graves walking away toward the collection of makeshift shelters. He stands up slowly and starts to follow. Graves finds Joe, the man whose house him and Marlowe had slept in the night before, and asks him where he might find a vehicle. Joe refers him to the Kellys, a family in town. Graves and Marlowe find the house, and Graves knocks on the door. He hears shuffling inside and watches the door scoot open slowly.
At the door stand a short stocky man wearing denim overalls who introduces himself as Tom Kelly. Marlowe questions the man about his automobile, when Kelly confirms that he indeed owns a truck, Marlowe demands use of it. Kelly takes a moment, says that he needs to talk to Paul, and walks away. While Marlowe is talking to Kelly, Graves notices a young girl crying inside the house. Tom Kelly returns with an older man who introduces himself as Paul Kelly. Marlowe sees what appear to be strings rising from the man's arms, as if he were a puppet, but remains silent. He tells the investigators that he will indeed allow them the use of his truck, and asks them inside for dinner. He introduces the two men to his family, and Marlowe notices that the young girl seems to become very nervous whenever he, his partner, or any of the men come near.
Kelly gives the investigators a little food and drink and points them around back and tells them that they can find the truck behind the house. Graves inquires into the well-being of the young girl, and Paul reassures him that nothing is wrong. The young girl begins to cry. Marlowe and Graves depart the house. The two men drive the truck back to the center of the village. Graves spots Joe sitting against a wall and asks him about the girl. Joe tells him that no one in town really knows what the problem is, only that it seems to have occurred recently. He also tells Graves that her name is Shelly and that she has only ventured outside to make use of the bath house. Marlowe notices that Joe doesn't seem to be being completely truthful with his responses, but when he questions him further he declines to make any elaboration.
Graves notices Joe's eye flicker to a house across the way, and Graves turns around and sees a young woman changing through the window of a house. Graves, strangely enough, charges across and walks into the house. The girl screams and a man walks out and demands that Graves leave. Graves asks the man if he knows Joe and tells him that Joe has been watching his wife change. The man becomes furious, charges over, and confronts Joe. Before Joe can respond, the man cracks him across the face with the butt of his shotgun and storms off. Graves questions the man about the Kelly girl and he says that he knows nothing of the family except that they give him the creeps. Graves returns to Marlowe, who is standing over Joe, who is writhing in pain on the ground. Marlowe demands to know what Graves said to the man to make him so angry and Graves tells him that didn't say anything at all. Joe demands that the two men leave. Marlowe and Graves climb into the truck.
Before the two investigators can drive off they notice a car approaching the village. It comes to a park right outside of the town and a finely dressed man steps out. Graves drives the truck over to the man. The man introduces himself as Ned Thompson, and tells Graves that he is a journalist. When the two men make it clear that they have never heard of this man, he seems a bit taken aback. He tells them that he has been sent here to investigate a string of disappearances. He asks the investigators if they have any leads on the case, and the detectives decline to comment. Thompson asks to join the detectives in their case, and Graves takes a brief moment to consider, but declines. Thompson notes that he has a friend with him, and introduces him as Jacques , a Frenchman from Louisiana. Marlowe further questions him about the disappearances, and Thompson tells him that he really doesn't know anything. Thompson asks the men again if he could join them, and after a moment of consideration, they accept. The detectives climb into Thompson's car, and they set off for the Lancaster Ranch. When the men reach the ranch, they notice that it is very lavish and well-kept.
They buzz the gate and after a while a black man comes out to greet them. He asks the men who they are and they all introduce themselves. Marlowe and Graves flash their badges as credential. The man departs and returns after a few minutes, telling them that Mr. Lancaster will see them now. He brings them into the main room and tells them that the master will be down in a minute. A tall lanky man descends the stairs and introduces himself as Lancaster. The investigators introduce themselves. Thompson is thrilled when Lancaster admits to hearing of him before. Lancaster asks the men if they are here for the convention. When Graves questions further, he shows them the room where the convention is supposedly being held. Lancaster seems shocked to find the room completely empty, saying that the guests must have left for another room. Lancaster continues talking about how well the crops are doing, and the town, and the railway; all things that the investigators know don't exist anywhere around.
Marlowe comes to the belief that this man is clearly insane. He refers the men to the " Negroes in the barn" and departs upstairs. The men start to walk out to the barn and notice a small girl playing outside. Graves attempts to call the little girl over but she pays him no mind. He approaches the girl and asks her about her father, the convention, and the community. Marlowe is taken aback when he sees the girl playing with a marionette puppet, feeling like its movements seem vaguely familiar.
The men enter the barn, and six black men immediately stand up from the table where they were playing cards. The men ask the investigators what they want and Graves flashes his badge and introduces himself as a marshal. Graves asks the men about the convention, and the men admit that there has not been a convention in three years. Marlowe and Graves continue to question the man about the Kelly family. The man swears he knows nothing but Marlowe can tell he is lying. He presses the issue but the man swears that the only thing strange going on is the missing trees in the orchard. Graves pulls out his handgun and points it at the man's face, demanding information.
The man takes off running, and Marlowe and Graves give chase. Graves pulls his rifle and fires a shot, grazing the man's leg. The man falls to the ground and the detectives catch up. Graves grabs the man and the man just keeps repeating "But she wanted it! I know she did, she came to my house!" Marlowe and Graves realize at this point that this man raped the Kelly girl. Graves demands to know why he did it, and the man simply repeats his story. Graves drags the man back to the barn. The investigators demand information from the men but they refuse to come out with anything. Graves pulls out his handgun and points it at the men. The detectives decide to separate the men one by one and question them separately. Each man admits to knowing that Jimmy raped the girl, and they also admit to Jimmy threatening them with violence if they told anything. Graves walks over to Jimmy, puts the barrel of his handgun in his face, pulls the trigger, and blows his brains all over the floor. The other men are shocked and beg not to be shot. Graves assures them that they are safe, and the men recommend that they check out the missing trees.
Marlowe expresses doubt about continuing the investigation. Thompson tells them that there have been reports of over twenty people missing in the area. Graves tells Marlowe that the investigation must be continued. Marlowe decides to check out the orchard and Graves says that he will investigate the house. Graves stealthily moves through the house, observing each room, and at first finding nothing of interest. After a while he spots a cellar entrance and decides to enter. When he reaches the bottom he finds a door leading to a tunnel system. He decides to follow it. He follows it for what seems to be at least a quarter of a mile and is amazed that it is so long. He figures it must be an old bootlegging tunnel from the town's glory days. He thinks that if he follows it he would probably end up back at the old ghost town. As he continues along he gets an uneasy feeling that this tunnel is not well built and could be dangerous.
Marlowe finds himself wandering through the orchard with one of the men from the barn as darkness sets. He trades a dollar for a piece of fabric from the man's clothing, and he fashions a torch. The man guides Marlowe to about the middle of the grove and shows him where one of the trees has been ripped up. Marlowe hears what sounds like leaves rustling and thinks that there must be a tree being stolen nearby. When he arrives at the scene he sees a missing tree but not a soul in sight. As he climbs down into the hole he hears a quick sound and asks his companion if he heard it too. There is no response. He climbs out of the hole and spots what seems to be a silhouette sitting up against the side of a tree. He approaches and is struck with horror when he discovers that it is in fact a life-sized mannequin sitting on the ground, staring directly back at him.
Marlowe turns to run, but falls to the ground. The mannequin stands, and begins to reach down towards him. Marlowe swings his torch at the mannequin and the fabric on the torch sticks to the mannequin and lights it on fire. The flames begin spreading up its arm. Marlowe slides forward and topples back into the hole. The trees around him are now on fire, and the fire is spreading. Marlowe fires a shot at the mannequin but misses. The mannequin starts darting towards Marlowe, and comes so close it is able to grasp at his clothing. Marlowe starts taking off running, but trips over a root, and is set rolling. The mannequin stays on his heels, and the flames have almost completely engulfed it by now. Phillip Marlowe stares into the charcoaled wooden face as it opens its mouth. He can almost see what appears to be a smile appears before everything fades to black…
Marshal Graves comes out of the tunnel and emerges in what seems to be a church. He looks around and notices that the church appears to be well-kept and sees what appear to be used candles. He promptly turns around and leaves.
Phillip Marlowe comes to and sees that the orchard is burning down around him. He looks at his feet and sees what appears to be a pile of scorched wood. He stands up and begins running. After a few minutes he emerges onto the road. Tired and frazzled, he starts walking down the lonely road.
Marlowe and Graves make it back to the Lancaster house. The black men run up and question him about the whereabouts of their friend. Marlowe tells them that he lost him in the orchard. The Kelly family approaches and starts acting very strangely. Marlowe calls them out on the flaws in their logic and they ignore the remark. They all start walking into the house. Marlowe and Graves follow them and see that they enter the basement tunnel to the church. The men hop in the car and tear ass to the ghost town. They enter the church and wait for the family to approach, hoping they are not too late. As they wait in hiding the Kelly family emerges from the tunnel. They stay in hiding and let them pass. As they head upstairs our party sneaks up behind them. Marlowe hears that Paul is reciting bible passages, and that all the passages relate to puppets. Graves tries to move closer and the family notices the men. They all turn to them and the father begins reciting the fish poem from the parchment. The entire family goes dead eyed. Mason Graves pulls his gun from its holster, steps forward, and shoots Paul dead in the face. Marlowe sees the strings that have been haunting him since he first read the poem burst apart and he sees the rest of the family go limp. He hears the sound of wooden hands beating on the door. He sees a green light pouring through the door, like a flood. It washes over him. Marlowe goes blind, seeing horror after horror repeated over and over in his head Graves, Marlowe, and the two reporters grab the body of the young girl and make a run for the tunnel. They jump onto the cart and move through the tunnels back to the house.
When they reach the house they start moving down the hallway. As they move through the hall the candles burn out behind them. They emerge into the dining room and see Mr. Lancaster and Sally sitting at the end of the table. Lancaster says "Welcome back," and Sally holds out her marionette doll and asks "Would you like it?" The house immediately goes pitch black. Graves tries to light a candle but it refuses to light. Marlowe has begun to regain his vision, and he stumbles into the portrait room. He looks to his left and gazes upon the first portrait and sees that it is Sam, the worker from the field. The second portrait is of Ned. The third, Jacques, the photographer. The fourth, Mason Graves. Lastly, he gazes upon his own face in horror. Everything goes black.
The two wake up slowly, and they realize they are in Phillip's car. He has crashed into the sign at the beginning of town. The two partners exchange glances and Marlowe starts the car and they start down the road. They step out of the car to look at damage and find it's not too bad, but Marlow notices what looks like a doll in the back seat, but shakes it off. The men get back in the car, and drive to Los Angeles.
