Thousands of demonstrators, chanting ″Recall Pete″ and ″We won’t go away,″ marched on “National Coming Out Day” in 1991 at the California state Capitol to protest Gov. Pete Wilson’s veto of a gay rights bill AB 101.
I walked away from my career 30 years ago to take care of Andrew and help him pursue his life and career. Little did we both know that the career would be lost to a very rare genetic disease that put us on the path of trying to keep him alive and live with crushing pain. The disease is progressive Scheuermann’s disease. By the time he was 40 years old the curvature was at 87 degrees. Your dead at 92 degrees. His back was breaking apart like tectonic plates. A normal spine is at 45 degrees. The first surgery occurred in January 2003 and we thought he was saved and then again in the summer of 2004 we were told in layman terms, his head is dislodging from his spine. Another massive surgery was needed. Those two surgeries would send him on a spiral of other parts of the body trying to fight off the initial disease, resulting in multiple additional complications. We’re still fighting. Through all of that we were able to refocus his energy with the pain he lives with every moment into art which we’re still shocked and amazed is traveling around the world. I humbly ask you to look at his art to look at this man’s beautiful soul and all the light that is coming out of him. He’s surely a product of god.

I have now begun to write our story to be left with the art. I am 67 this month. We have been together 38 years and are now married. I tell you all this, not to feel sad for us. Understand that one must always have hope. As my friend and teacher Joseph Campbell told me all those years ago, “Bruce, there’s something about you that keeps you going on”. I hope you can find some value in our journey of what love and respect means in sickness and in health, whether your rich or poor. Andrew and I have lived openly gay since we fell in love all those years ago. Our love gave us the courage to live openly and take what ever would come at us in the times we have lived as gay men. Its been quite a journey.

When husband and wife Nick and Jan move into an old house in San Francisco , they uncover a message under layers of wallpaper left by a previous tenant. (“Maxie lived here! Read it and weep!”).
The daft landlady from upstairs is overwhelmed when she sees the message and tells them about a girl who lived there in the 1920s. Maxie was a brash young party girl who died in a car crash the morning before her big audition for a Hollywood studio. Her only movie legacy, mere minutes on film, is dug up by Nick who watches it with his wife.
Just after Jan goes to bed, Maxie’s ghost appears. She has never seen herself on film. She laments never having a shot at stardom and then vanishes. Nick can’t figure out if the house is really haunted or if he is hallucinating. He also has his hands full with Miss Scheffer, his boss, who has romantic designs on him.
Maxie eventually takes over Jan’s body, first to experience life, then to try out for a television commercial and ultimately to go to Hollywood for a movie audition she is offered after the commercial. Finally she can fulfill her destiny. Her misadventures mess up Jan’s and Nick’s lives, to the point that Jan is pursued by her boss, Bishop Campbell, who wants to exorcise her. Nick remains utterly fascinated by this woman, who looks exactly like the wife he still loves.
Joseph Pulitzer spoke of “fake news” over 100 years ago and fought the dangers that the suppression of news had for a democracy long before our present threats to press freedom.
Joseph Pulitzer was born to a wealthy family of Magyar-Jewish origin in Mako, Hungary on April 10, 1847. The elder Pulitzer (a grain merchant) retired in Budapest and Joseph grew up and was educated there in private schools and by tutors.
He was born as Pulitzer József (name order by Hungarian custom) in Makó, about 200 km south-east of Budapest in Hungary, the son of Elize (Berger) and Fülöp Pulitzer. The Pulitzers were among several Jewish families living in the area and had established a reputation as merchants and shopkeepers. Joseph’s father was a respected businessman, regarded as the second of the “foremost merchants” of Makó. Their ancestors emigrated from Moravia to Hungary at the end of the 18th century.

Belur is a famous tourist destination of Hassan district, Karnataka. The town is of major historical importance ever since historians considered this place as an early capital of Hoysala Empire. It is around 223kms from Bangalore, 149kms from Mysore and is located on the banks of river Yagachi. As per ancient scriptures, Belur was referred to as “Velapuri”. It is religiously known as the “Dakshina Varanasi”, as it houses some marvelous temple complexes listed under UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The beauty of this place is attributed to the famous 12th Century Chennakeshava Temple complex, comprising of the Chennakeshava Temple at the centre and surrounded by the Kappe Chennigraya temple. This temple was built by the famous Hoysala king, Vishnuvardhana to celebrate his Victory against the Cholas.
The main entrance to the temple complex is covered by a Rayagopura, built in the Vijayanagar style. The temple is of a star-shaped structure and is built up of black chloritic schist (soft soapstone), helping in the intricate carvings on the wall. The temple is a homogeneous architectural display, built on an elevated platform or jagati. The main Shrine of the temple is of 10.5m by 10.5m and is connected to the Mandapa by a vestibule. The Mandapa is of 60 compartments and is covered atop by the Sikhara. The shiny black stone zigzag walls give the Garbagriha a galactic look.
The ornate pillars has figures of 24 forms of Lord Vishnu and in spite of darkness inside the temple, all these carvings are so exquisitely done that they tend to shine like metal. Inside the shrine, there is a life size image of Keshava or Vishnu with four hands, each associated to an attribute; the discus (chakra), the mace (gadha), the lotus-flower (padma) and the conch (Shanka), in clockwise direction. Guarding the entrance is the life size sculptures of door guardians (dvarapalaka).
There are beautifully carved forty eight hall pillars, each bearing the figurine of a Madanika ( celestal damsel). They are depicted in various forms, such as dancers, musicians and drummers. Few of these carved figurines namely, Darpana Sundari, The Lady with the Parrot, The Huntress and Bhasma Mohini are popular among the tourist guides. The bottom of the outer walls of the temple is ornamented with six hundred and fifty statues of aggressive elephants, symbolizing strength. Above these are statues of lions, symbolizing courage, and on top of that are horses symbolizing speed. Above the horses are panels with floral designs signifying beauty.
The temple shows the impeccable craftsmanship of the father-son duo, Jakanachari and Dankanachari hailing from Balliganve, a centre of Kalyana Chalukya art in Shimoga district. As per art critic Gerard Foekema, this Mandapa can be coined as the most magnificent medieval architecture.
Just about 3kms from Belur, one can view one of the biggest reservoirs of Hassan district, Yagachi Dam. This dam is built across river Yagachi, a tributary of river Kaveri. Constructed in 2001, this dam is helping the agrarian community of Hassan with adequate water supply to support irrigation. The reservoir here quenches the thirst of many in the district by supplying safe drinking water.
The Dam attracts tourists from all around the State and outside, with its natural lush green beauty and cool weather. One can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a weekend gateway over here. To promote the place, the State government has arranged for various adventure water sports here. Tourists, who are not that keen in visiting heritage places in Belur, can enjoy Jet Ski, Speed Boat Ride, Banana Boat, Bumper Ride, Kayaking, Cruise Boat ride.
Tourists visiting this place can carry back home miniature sculpture of the Chennakeshava Temple, stone idols and terracotta items. Shops in local markets sell wooden toys and different handicrafts. One can visit state or government undertaking Emporium to buy authentic Sandalwood, Silk Sarees and Ivory Brassware.
Travelling to Belur has become very convenient because of the ever increasing tourism industry. For the ease of access, the town has been well connected with all the major Karnataka cities by various modes of transport. Best time to visit the town is between October to February. Kannada is the widely spoken language, but English is well understood by the localities due to frequent foreign tourists.

In the history of sports, very few events have managed to create such controversy as Bodyline. Its effects were so pronounced that the ripples have stayed on for generations.
The infamous Ashes 1932-33 between Australia and England was termed the ‘Bodyline’ series. What had begun as a tactic to tackle the strongest batsman of the opposition threatened not just the tour itself, but political relations between the United Kingdom and Australia. It has been several decades since that controversial tour, and yet the memories of Bodyline resurface every time the Ashes are played.
The Bodyline series began in earnest from December 1932 in Australia and this month marks 85 years of the mighty contentious episode. While we reflect on the recently concluded Ashes series, it is time to relive Bodyline.
The birth of Bodyline originated from an idea – negating the genius of a young Don Bradman, who had averaged a staggering 139.14 on Australia’s 1930 tour of England. However, the ideas escalated much beyond that and went on to test and batter the other Australian batsmen throughout the course of the 5-match series.
The idea was simple and innovative in theory. England’s posse of fast bowlers would bowl down the leg at the chest of the batsmen with a cluster of fielders on the leg-side. Since there were no field restrictions at that time, this tactic would thereby restrict them from scoring runs. The English had called this ‘Leg Theory’; a widely known concept that had been around for decades. Though not popular, it was quite effective when executed well.
It is believed that this plan was conceived back in 1931 after some English players had noticed that Bradman’s discomfort against rising balls. He had winced a few times when the ball had knocked him on his body and had looked rather uncomfortable handling short-pitched deliveries targeted at his chest.
Douglas Jardine, England’s captain, decided to hatch the ‘Leg Theory’ plan for the Ashes 1932-33. While it had been around for some time, Jardine decided to go ahead with it on this tour as he had fast bowlers who could implement it. Nottinghamshire's Harold Larwood – known as one of the most fearsome and fastest bowlers around at that time – would spearhead the attack and the others would rally around him to execute the plan successfully.
The idea was not just to restrict runs. But to intimidate.
The first Test of the 1932-33 Ashes at Sydney passed without any controversy. Jardine was not compelled to use the Bodyline tactic much as Larwood took 10 for 124 and England went on to clinch the game by ten wickets. Bradman had missed the game after a tiff with the board officials, which perhaps motivated Jardine to hold back his Leg Theory tactic a little bit.
The second Test at Melbourne saw Bodyline in full effect. The bruises and wickets mounted and the Aussies protested in anger, claiming that they were being physically targeted. The strategy was considered vicious and unsporting by the press and the public in Australia. But there was more to follow.
In the third Test, at Adelaide, Larwood struck Australian batsman Bill Woodfull right above the heart and then went on to hit Bert Oldfield on the head with a pacey one that fractured his skull. Oldfield slumped on the ground and had to be given immediate medical assistance. This, obviously, did not go down well with the Australian players and their board. The local public was outraged and booed the English players on the field. At one stage, the police had to be mounted outside to prevent the breakout of a riot.
Wisden summarized the game as "probably the most unpleasant Test ever played ... altogether the whole atmosphere was a disgrace to cricket."
"Bodyline bowling has assumed such proportions as to menace the best interests of the game, making protection of the body by the batsmen the main consideration. This is causing intensely bitter feeling between the players as well as injury. In our opinion it is unsportsmanlike. Unless stopped at once it is likely to upset the friendly relations existing between Australia and England."
The two boards continued to exchange bitter and hostile messages but nothing came of it. Both backed their players and neither gave in. Australian fans and media wanted the series to be cancelled but the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) had their hands tied. A mid-series scrapping would have resulted in massive financial loss and hence they had to bear with the untoward happenings on the field.
England went on to win the Test at Adelaide by 338 runs. Undaunted by the criticism, Jardine continued his Bodyline tactic and clinched the Ashes with a six-wicket win at Brisbane, courtesy another match-winning Larwood performance where he took seven wickets. By this time, ferocious the Leg Theory tactic was not going down well with some of the English players as well. Fast bowler Gubby Allen refused to bowl Bodyline and performed superbly anyway.
England ended the series by winning the final Test by 8 wickets, where Larwood was again a prominent performer. He finished with 33 wickets at 19.51 from the series and was the wrecker-in-chief for Australia.
The Australian batsmen had endured hours of punishment because of Bodyline and even Bradman, despite being the highest run-getter for his team and scoring at an average of 56, looked unsettled at various points while tackling it. The tactics that were being deployed by Jardine and his bowlers were out of accord with anything they had previously seen in the game and roused intense passions among fans.
While England registered a comprehensive 4-1 series win, they had lost a lot of fans and come in for severe criticism from all over the cricketing world. The matter was even raised at cabinet meetings in London and it was clear that the implications of this Bodyline tactic, and the shock it created, would last.
On returning home from their victorious yet controversial Ashes win, the England side were given a mixed welcome. The MCC summoned Jardine and Larwood to Lord's, along with the managers Pelham Warner and RNC Palairet. It was found out that Warner was vehemently against the use of Bodyline but his voice was ignored as the others largely saw it as a productive strategy.
However, England soon got a taste of their Bodyline medicine as the next summer, in a Test at Old Trafford against the West Indies. Opposition bowlers Learie Constantine and Manny Martindale bowled relentlessly on the leg side at the England batsmen’s chests. This act shocked many who had not seen firsthand the effect of Bodyline, and merely dismissed the reports from Aussie papers.
Now that English players were being threatened, the MCC passed a resolution at the end of the season that "any form of bowling which is obviously a direct attack by the bowler upon the batsman would be an offence against the spirit of the game".
Bodyline still continued in some county games and subsequently the MCC added a clause to the Laws relating to unfair play: the number of fielders allowed behind square on the leg was restricted to two, which rendered Bodyline ineffective.
While the laws of cricket were amended to ban Bodyline bowling, the scars it had caused lingered for decades.
Initially, the relations between the two countries remained bitter. Larwood became the hated hero in England and was asked to apologize by the authorities. He refused, saying he simply followed his captain’s orders. Larwood never played for his country again. Jardine largely retired from first class cricket soon after, playing only a few matches in the next ten years.
The 2017-18 Ashes were played with fierce rivalry but without the toxicity of the Bodyline series. Hopefully, the game will never have to bear witness to such an event again.
The unpleasant memories of it will remain etched in the history of the game forever.

lowercased:
in the history of sports, very few events have managed to create such controversy as bodyline. its effects were so pronounced that the ripples have stayed on for generations.
the infamous ashes 1932-33 between australia and england was termed the ‘bodyline’ series. what had begun as a tactic to tackle the strongest batsman of the opposition threatened not just the tour itself, but political relations between the united kingdom and australia. it has been several decades since that controversial tour, and yet the memories of bodyline resurface every time the ashes are played.
the bodyline series began in earnest from december 1932 in australia and this month marks 85 years of the mighty contentious episode. while we reflect on the recently concluded ashes series, it is time to relive bodyline.
the birth of bodyline originated from an idea – negating the genius of a young don bradman, who had averaged a staggering 139.14 on australia’s 1930 tour of england. however, the ideas escalated much beyond that and went on to test and batter the other australian batsmen throughout the course of the 5-match series.
the idea was simple and innovative in theory. england’s posse of fast bowlers would bowl down the leg at the chest of the batsmen with a cluster of fielders on the leg-side. since there were no field restrictions at that time, this tactic would thereby restrict them from scoring runs. the english had called this ‘leg theory’; a widely known concept that had been around for decades. though not popular, it was quite effective when executed well.
it is believed that this plan was conceived back in 1931 after some english players had noticed that bradman’s discomfort against rising balls. he had winced a few times when the ball had knocked him on his body and had looked rather uncomfortable handling short-pitched deliveries targeted at his chest.
douglas jardine, england’s captain, decided to hatch the ‘leg theory’ plan for the ashes 1932-33. while it had been around for some time, jardine decided to go ahead with it on this tour as he had fast bowlers who could implement it. nottinghamshire's harold larwood – known as one of the most fearsome and fastest bowlers around at that time – would spearhead the attack and the others would rally around him to execute the plan successfully.
the idea was not just to restrict runs. but to intimidate.
the first test of the 1932-33 ashes at sydney passed without any controversy. jardine was not compelled to use the bodyline tactic much as larwood took 10 for 124 and england went on to clinch the game by ten wickets. bradman had missed the game after a tiff with the board officials, which perhaps motivated jardine to hold back his leg theory tactic a little bit.
the second test at melbourne saw bodyline in full effect. the bruises and wickets mounted and the aussies protested in anger, claiming that they were being physically targeted. the strategy was considered vicious and unsporting by the press and the public in australia. but there was more to follow.
in the third test, at adelaide, larwood struck australian batsman bill woodfull right above the heart and then went on to hit bert oldfield on the head with a pacey one that fractured his skull. oldfield slumped on the ground and had to be given immediate medical assistance. this, obviously, did not go down well with the australian players and their board. the local public was outraged and booed the english players on the field. at one stage, the police had to be mounted outside to prevent the breakout of a riot.
wisden summarized the game as "probably the most unpleasant test ever played ... altogether the whole atmosphere was a disgrace to cricket."
"bodyline bowling has assumed such proportions as to menace the best interests of the game, making protection of the body by the batsmen the main consideration. this is causing intensely bitter feeling between the players as well as injury. in our opinion it is unsportsmanlike. unless stopped at once it is likely to upset the friendly relations existing between australia and england."
the two boards continued to exchange bitter and hostile messages but nothing came of it. both backed their players and neither gave in. australian fans and media wanted the series to be cancelled but the australian cricket board (acb) had their hands tied. a mid-series scrapping would have resulted in massive financial loss and hence they had to bear with the untoward happenings on the field.
england went on to win the test at adelaide by 338 runs. undaunted by the criticism, jardine continued his bodyline tactic and clinched the ashes with a six-wicket win at brisbane, courtesy another match-winning larwood performance where he took seven wickets. by this time, ferocious the leg theory tactic was not going down well with some of the english players as well. fast bowler gubby allen refused to bowl bodyline and performed superbly anyway.
england ended the series by winning the final test by 8 wickets, where larwood was again a prominent performer. he finished with 33 wickets at 19.51 from the series and was the wrecker-in-chief for australia.
the australian batsmen had endured hours of punishment because of bodyline and even bradman, despite being the highest run-getter for his team and scoring at an average of 56, looked unsettled at various points while tackling it. the tactics that were being deployed by jardine and his bowlers were out of accord with anything they had previously seen in the game and roused intense passions among fans.
while england registered a comprehensive 4-1 series win, they had lost a lot of fans and come in for severe criticism from all over the cricketing world. the matter was even raised at cabinet meetings in london and it was clear that the implications of this bodyline tactic, and the shock it created, would last.

Today, we released a new version of Pijul. Still alpha, but lots of updates. Also, still GPL2+ (as in version 0.3, but unlike before).
This version comes with breaking changes, not only in the repository format (that wouldn’t really be breaking), but also in the patch format. Since Pijul is versioned with itself, we’ve been forced to figure out what to do for our own repositories.
In the first two weeks of a public, usable Pijul, we’ve received tons of comments, most of them positive, encouraging and forgiving. We’re really grateful to everyone for that. We’re also using the nest a lot, and monitoring it quite closely to detect potential performance improvements.
In Pijul 0.4, we tried to implement all breaking changes implied by the feedback we’ve received, and our own use of Pijul.
Often in Pijul (and very often on the Nest), we want to load just the header of a patch, i.e. its name, authors, timestamp and dependencies. Since Pijul 0.3 was mostly designed when serde wasn’t available on Rust stable, we were still using the rustc-serialize crate, which did the job well, but was not nearly as flexible as serde. So I tried serde instead.
Switching took about ten minutes, and all tests passed immediately, which tells a lot about how easy it is to manage a medium-size project in Rust.
But, as we were using CBOR to store our patches, the change to serde broke some things in the patch format, for some reason we’ve not investigated. One possible cause is that CBOR has many different ways to encode the same things, and they are not really in line with the Rust memory layout.
Now, since the format was already broken, and we don’t ever want to change the patch format again, I decided to also switch to bincode. That format is simpler than anything I had seen before, and works well for our use case. Moreover, it is so minimalist that if it were to change in the future, we could easily maintain our own backwards-compatible fork.
Therefore, the guarantee we’d like to have for Pijul 0.4 is that the whole history can always be recovered by cloning the repository locally. This is unfortunately impossible between 0.3 and 0.4 repositories, because of the change in the patch format.
Pijul’s focus on patches (as opposed to snapshots) could allow it to handle giant repositories with a very large number of files, like in the case of “monorepos”. In particular, even though the commands are not yet implemented, the theory and algorithms allow for partial checkouts. “Partial” here means cloning just a subfolder of a repository, and still producing patches that can interact with the rest of the repository.
Unfortunately, the datastructures in the 0.3 repository format were not quite ready for that. In particular, the mechanism for cloning locally or via HTTP involves the .pijul/changes.… files (similar to the index in Git), which had to be downloaded and loaded each time.
applying/unrecording a patch: writing the index is in O(1).
pulling: linear in the number of new patches.
pushing: linear in the size of the index, but with a much smaller constant than before.
And the format is also much smaller to download, since it is only edited using memory maps, and no large part of the file ever “shifts”.
adding a huge number of files/applying huge patches didn’t work.
the diff algorithm was always quadratic, it is now linear when a file has not changed.
some paths were mixed up.
the file names were not printed when recording, and the output of “pijul record” was confusing.
nothing worked on Windows, and now Pijul compiles fine on Windows 10 / VS2017. I’m not committing to building binaries for every single patch now, but I’ll try at least for minor versions.
RSA keys were not accepted, now they are (it is not well tested on the Nest, though).
The main missing feature in Pijul 0.4 is the correct and easy handling of SSH keys. This limitation actually comes from Thrussh.
We’d like to make it easy for all users (on all platforms) to use SSH keys with Pijul, but we’re not there yet. I’ve added RSA support to Thrussh since Pijul 0.3, but loading keys is still painful.
If you have any idea how to do that, in particular on Windows, we’d like to hear from you! Use the issues pages on the nest, for example, or the Rust reddit, or tweet @pijul_org.
The Nest is our hosting facility for Pijul repositories. In the future, we want to make it easier than ever to anyone to collaborate on any project, in a planned (”let’s create a branch”) or unplanned (”oops! this really was a new feature”) way. The hope is that Pijul and the Nest can be infinitely forgiving, allowing people to make mistakes, and recover from anything with one simple command.
Before writing the Nest, I was a complete beginner at web applications. In some way, Rust is, too!
Everything is asynchronous with Tokio.
TLS is handled by Rustls, itself based on *ring*.
SSH is handled by Thrussh.
Our HTTP stack is home-grown and ugly, but fully asynchronous and really fast, with only two allocations per connection.
Our PostgreSQL client is home-grown too, but could be open-sourced if anyone wants to maintain it for more than our own needs. Feel free to contact me!
I’d like to thank the Rust community, and in particular the authors of Rust and Tokio, for making it so easy to build stuff this fast so easily. One thing I had not envisioned though, is that no matter how fearless our concurrency is, no matter how subtle our patch theory is or how efficient our algorithms can be, it is 2017, and sending email, in particular to gmail users, is still incredibly hard.
The recent changes in the patch format are really bad, as they mean that Nest users have to reset the (luckily small) history of all their repositories to be able to interact with the Nest again. For all the repositories we maintain, we have reset their history by deleting the .pijul. All repositories on the Nest have been emptied, which does not contradict our (quite harsh) terms of service.
As the user (pijul_org) with the most repositories on the Nest, we know how it feels, and we are sorry.
This is hopefully the only time we will ever do this, as the patch and repository formats were designed before most commands, and have been carefully redesigned in the past few days to take our current vision for Pijul into account.

NEW DELHI: There is enough evidence to show that then CBI chief Ranjit Sinha "interfered" with investigations into key coal scam cases, the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) has told the court. The SIT is headed by former CBI special director M L Sharma.
The SIT's finding, submitted in a sealed cover to a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur, Kurian Joseph and A K Sikri, is based on an analysis of chargesheets filed by the CBI in coal scam cases during Sinha's tenure as director.
The SIT requested the court for access to the coal scam case preliminary enquiries (PEs) which were closed on Sinha's directions. Under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, the CBI chief is empowered to close a PE.
The finding is sure to raise questions whether Sinha used the powers vested in the CBI chief to interfere with the chargesheets in sensitive cases, such as the one concerning the allocation of Talabira-II coal mine to Hindalco. Former PM Manmohan Singh was summoned as an accused by a lower court but the trial was stayed by the SC. The SIT was set up in response to allegations by advocate Prashant Bhushan that the SC-monitored investigation into the coal scam had been subverted. Advocate Prashant Bhushan's charge that the probe into the coal scam cases had been subverted was based on allegations that the `visitors diary' kept at then CBI director Ranjit Sinha's official residence showed several accused visited the sleuth when the chargesheets were being drawn.
Sinha had earlier attracted the SC's displeasure when he let the law minister under UPA, Ashwani Kumar, vet the "status report" the agency was required to submit exclusively to the apex court. An angry court had taken exception to CBI's subservience to the government of the day by dubbing it "a caged parrot".
From the SIT report, it appears that the reprimand from the SC, which was closely monitoring the probe, did not deter the then director from meeting certain persons at his residence without the presence of the investigating officers. The report also inferred from the documents that there was clear interference in the probe.
The SC's relief to Manmohan Singh by staying the summons of a trial court was cited by then MoS for coal Santosh Bagrodia to seek parity with the ex-PM. Bagrodia has moved the SC arguing that he was a mere post-office for the directions from the PMO for coal block allocations.
The sealed cover report handed over to the court was based on thorough examination of the chargesheets filed by the CBI in coal scam cases during Sinha's tenure as CBI director, sources in the SIT told TOI.

"When I first saw Morel, I had been having a problem with my foot that had prevented me from enjoying standing or walking for over a year. I had seen various specialists and no one had helped. In 90 minutes she made it 90% better, and it's staying better, too. If you have any sort of structural problem with your body, I think it's worth it for you to check her out."
"Morel is the foundation of the New York City OB community. She has consistently been generous with us with her time, energy, and expertise since she first came to teach a class in 1995. Her clarity and attention to detail in this work is unparalleled. We think that her influence is what has helped us to create our “NYC style”. We have grown together over the decades in a synergistic relationship for everyone’s benefit. Morel holds a high standard, has been willing to up her game, been supportive of our individual explorations, which in turn has motivated us to be our best."
I received my first session from Morel and knew by the time that I sat up that my body had changed and that I desired to study this subtle work that was under my radar that created such a great lasting change. Morel, I believe, was harder on me than any other student she taught because she knew my potential and wouldn't settle for anything less. She held me to a standard that I still try to achieve. As I evolved into a practitioner our relationship settled and softened for awhile until after I had received my advanced practitioner status and entered into the instructor program. Then the bar was raised and I struggled once again to achieve her expectations. Today, I credit Morel with my solid foundation of Ortho-Bionomy. I credit her with my success as a practitioner every time I work with a Phase 4 release, scar work, and trauma work. As I teach, her clarity comes through me.

text: Before February elections, whenever a TV channel or newspaper presented any surveys concerning the (lack of) popularity of General Pervaiz Musharraf, the government spokesmen said the survey people did not have the correct data. General Musharraf, in his last days in uniform, himself said "these foreign surveyors mostly come to cities, meet a few selected people whereas the majority population resides in villages whose views are not included in such surveys". Today, on April 10, 2008, I have just visited the website presidentofpakistan.gov.pk. It was created with a lot of fanfare and claims that ordinary people will now have direct access to the President. As is usual, a lot of our professional paid writers wrote columns at the time that it would turn Pakistani into heaven as people's problems will be solved instantly. For the initial few months, if someone approached the President at this site, his press secretary immediately acknowledged. This was merely an automatic acknowledgment but for the last one year, even this acknowledgment has stopped coming. Today just for fun I checked the contents on his Visitors' Forum. On the topic of Finance the last someone approached him was on July 27, 2007. On Defence, the last approach was made on July 5, 2007, on Foreign Affairs on August 17, 2007, on Social Sector last on November 20, 2006. -ZAFAR, Nowshera, via e-mail, April 18.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai underlined India’s importance for Android, saying the number of users of the operating system in the world’s fastest growing smartphone market will surpass those in the US in 2016.
Speaking at the ‘Google for India’ event in Delhi on Wednesday, Pichai also backed the Internet giant’s much hyped Android One programme and claimed it was a success in all the 20 countries across the globe.
“We are doing many products to bring connectivity. We do this primarily by investing in Android. In 2016, there will be more Android users in India than the US,” Pichai said on the first day of a two-day visit to India.
Caesar Sengupta, vice-president (product management) at Google said the company has made significant improvements in the Android One operating system with the latest Marshmallow update and it will also bring more local languages for the operating system to grow its user base in India, from seven languages right now. Pichai added that through its handset partners, Google plans to bring high-end yet affordable Android One-based smartphones, but it didn’t divulge further details.
Navin Chawla, senior vice-president and head product at Lava – an Android One partner - told ET that the handset company plans to bring a new high-end India-assembled Android One smartphone in the first quarter of next financial year starting April 1, 2016. On the performance of Lava’s first Android One smartphone, Lava Pixel V1, Chawla said that the company is “satisfied” so far.
Comments from both Google and Lava executives however are in stark contrast with the market perception, which suggests that the Android One programme hasn’t been a success, especially India.
Only 1.2 million units of Android One-based devices were shipped to India during its first year (September 2014 to September 2015) in the country, making up only 3.5% of the $50-100 phone market, the segment which sells the most phones, according to Counterpoint, which also said that only 3 million devices have been shipped in the 19 countries.
Google also announced new partnerships with Lava and Intex for the “Indic” keyboard which helps users type in 11 languages. Under the tie-up, all the smartphones from Lava will come preloaded with this keyboard app, Chawla said.
Intex will also launch smartphones with the keyboard app. “This will help users to feel the regional connect and also help those who are familiar with only the regional languages,” Sanjay Kumar Kalirona, mobile business head, Intex Technologies.
