Yoga guru Baba Ramdev Saturday criticised the Congress party for nominating cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar to the Rajya Sabha, calling it a ploy to distract public attention.
“Congress, which is a sinking ship, denied him (Tendulkar) the Bharat Ratna but is nominating him to the Rajya Sabha as a tactic to distract the media and people from issues such as black money and corruption,” said Ramdev at a press conference here.
“If inducting cricketers and celebrities in parliament can bring back black money back into the country, I request the people in power to induct every cricketer and celebrity,” he said.
He claimed that political pressure was being put on Tendulkar from several quarters to accept the nomination.
On his decision to join hands with activist Anna Hazare to fight corruption, Ramdev said “political forces” were questioning his decision.
“Some corrupt corporates and political leaders are not comfortable with us coming together. So, they keep questioning our unity,” he said.
“Neither Anna Hazare nor me claimed that we were going to unite our two campaigns. But we’ll keep coming together whenever needed just like we have planned for June 3,” he said.
Ramdev said there was no rift between him and Hazare, and that their “frequencies matched”.
He said just and equitable institutions needed to be put in place of corrupt institutions. For this, he would keep a fast along with Hazare at Jantar Mantar on June 3.
During the press meet, Ramdev also announced his itinerary for the thrid part of his Bharat Swabhiman Yatra. He said the journey would start May 1 and end June 3 with the fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
“During the ‘yatra,’ people in power will try to malign me, which is expected. But when that happens, I request the media to also hear our side of the story so that the complete picture can come out in the public,” he said.
After a gap of six months portals of famous Himalayan shrine Kedarnath today reopened for pilgrims. The temple, situated in Rudraprayag district at a height of 3,584 meter, was reopened at 0715 hours in the morning according to ‘mahurat’, sources said.
The ‘mahurat’ was decided on Mahashivrati at Ukhimath area on February 20. The head priest of the temple, Rawal, performed the ‘Abhishek’ after openeing of the doors, sources said. Thousands of pilgrims flocked the temple after opening of the doors.
The Chardhams, comprising the shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri in Garhwal Himalayas reopen for pilgrims in April-May every year after remaining closed for nearly six months during winters as the area remain snow-bound during the period. The annual Chardham yatra is considered as a backbone of the thriving religious tourism in the state that attracts nearly 15-16 lakh pilgrims every year from home and abroad.
Delhi’s anti-corruption ombudsman Manmohan Sarin today advocated the need for social boycott of the corrupt and rued the “indifference” of the silent majority towards the menace.
“Unless people condemn, despise, and excommunicate the dishonest, the corrupt will continue to enjoy status and respect in society”, Sarin said speaking at the launch of ‘Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre Helpline’ by Transparency International India.
“The indifference of silent majority is the real cause of corruption. Till you are not personally affected by corruption, you look the other way”, he said. The Lokayukta lamented that complicated laws and lengthy judicial procedures help the corrupt to go scot free.
“Corrupt people go scot free due to long time of trial and I have no hesitation in saying that the truth is that people with money get away”, he said. “Laws are complicated and are not citizen friendly which gives an opportunity to authorities for corrupt practises”, he said. He asked the media to run a sustained campaign against corruption. “The media should not stop at just one report.
It has to be a sustained campaign against wrong. It is the duty of media”, he said. Advocating administrative and financial autonomy for Lokayukta office, he said that in states where the Chief Minister is not included under Lokayukta, the Lokayukta does not face any problem. “States where the Chief Minister does not come under Lokayukta Act, there is no problem faced by the Lokayukta”, he said.
He said that instilling moral and ethical values in people at young age can help in tackling corruption. “The fall in moral values in society is also to be blamed for rising corruption.
We should catch people young and give them moral and ethical values”, he said. The toll free helpline number of ‘Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre’ by Transparency International India will inform citizen about their legal rights, provide legal assistance and equip them to take action on cases of corruption that they have been victims of.
“A victim of corruption can call our helpline and take legal advice from our lawyer. After that if they need any assistance in drafting complaint and approaching the right department, our team will help them”, P S Bawa, Chairman Transparency International India said. Transparency International India is the accredited India chapter of the international civil society organisation based in Berlin.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan today said that actress Rekha and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar “deserved” to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha.
“In each session of Parliament, President nominates few set of people for Rajya Sabha from the fields of art, film etc.
It is an honorary position. Whoever nominated for this (Rajya Sabha) are deserving people (sic),” Big B told reporters at an event held for promotion of his soon-to-be-released film, ‘Department’. “I remember even (actress) Nargisji was nominated for Rajya Sabha,” he said.
However, the nomination of the maestro to the Upper House seems to have not gone down well with actor Sanjay Dutt. “It is an honour to be in Rajya Sabha. I am a die-hard fan of Sachin…he is a pride…jewel of India. But I am not happy that he is a Rajya Sabha member….he should have been the way he is,” Dutt said.
When asked if being a parliamentarian will be too demanding for Rekha and Sachin, Bachchan said, “It is their personal decision…leave it to them”. Meanwhile, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, who was also present on the occasion, evaded direct reply on the issue, saying, “I have no idea about cricket and politics”.
ISRO has said the indigenously built Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-1), launched on April 26, has been placed in its final Polar Sun-synchronous Orbit of 536 km height.
“PSLV-C19 had placed RISAT-1 in a polar orbit of 470 km X 480 km. As planned, on April 27-28, the satellite propulsion system was used in four orbital manoeuvres to raise the height of the orbit of RISAT-1 to 536 km,” ISRO said in a statement here.
The satellite is now in its final orbital configuration and in good health. In the coming days, various elements of the C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar will be tested and calibrated as a prelude to payload operations, it said.
“As compared to the optical remote sensing satellites that depend upon sunlight, the Synthetic Aperture Radar of RISAT-1 transmits its own radar pulses (at 5.35 GHz) to study the objects on Earth. This facilitates (i) cloud penetration and (ii) imaging even without sunlight. For RISAT-1, imaging sessions around both 6 AM and 6 PM have been chosen,” it said.
The 1,858 kg RISAT-1, whose images will facilitate agriculture and disaster management, was launched on board the PSLV-C19 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, around 90 km from Chennai.
The Amnesty International has appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to take steps for immediate release of all protesters arrested in connection with the anti-Koodankulam Nuclear plant agitation and drop “false” charges against them.
Amnesty International members also referred to S.P.Udhayakumar, PMANE convenor’s charge that the Indian authorities had “failed” to respond satisfactorily to several site and safety concerns raised by an independent group of experts.
They expressed “dismay” that officials belonging to the Home Ministry searched Udhayakumar’s home and that police had “harassed” shop-keepers who were in solidarity with the protesters.
“The charges against the protesters constitute a deliberate attempt by the authorities to silence them despite the fact that the protests had been peaceful,” the letter to the Prime Minister said.
Amnesty International members who have signed the letter include senior functionary Peter Cattan of Switzerland. A copy of the letter was released to the press here today.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday hinted at an impending hike in fuel prices saying that there is need for such an exercise to balance the effects of the spiralling oil import bill.
“With imports accounting for about 80 percent of our crude supplies, the spiralling prices of crude in the international market have put a severe strain on our import bill,” Singh said in a speech while inaugurating a refinery here.
“We also need to rationalize prices and at the same time ensure that the poor and needy are shielded from the effects of such a rationalization,” he said.
The prime minister’s comments came in the wake of demands by oil marketing companies (OMCs) which say they either be allowed to raise petrol prices or the government should compensate them for the underrecoveries. The OMCs say their inability to raise prices from Dec 16, 2011 to March 31, 2012 has resulted in total under-recovery of Rs.2,287 crore.
“The challenges we face on the energy front are formidable. We need adequate supplies of energy at affordable prices. Domestic sources of crude oil and gas are inadequate to meet the growing demands of our rapidly expanding economy,” he said.
India also needed to conserve energy and there was “no room for inefficient and wasteful usage of fuel”, said the prime minister.
The 60 Years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign will be celebrated in Britain with Rajasthani touch.
The 11-member Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band will perform in London June 2 and 3 rubbing shoulders with famous artists like Elton John in presence of heads of several states and world renowned personalities.
“The organising committee of these events examined our previous international performances over the past ten years and selected the Jaipur Maharaja Brass Band to perform at London,” the band’s group leader Amrit Hussain said.
“It is a very big event and we are unable to express our happiness in words. We expect to enthrall the audience and our aim is to give a taste of Indian music to the international audience with Indian and Rajasthani traditional music with a mix of Western instruments,” he added.
The band will use a mix of traditional Indian and Western instruments to perform popular Bollywood, jazz, pop and self-composed music, making it the first group from India to perform at such an event, Hussain claimed.
He said over the past nine years, the band has performed at about 600 concerts in 40 countries. It has participated in prestigious music festivals like Sziget (Hungary), Paleo (Switzerland), and Pori Jazz Fest (Finland).
Originating from Jaipur, the city of the maharajas, the band consists of seven to eight musicians, a female traditional Rajasthani dancer and a juggler or fire eater. They play a range of traditional brass instruments, including trumpets, trombones, tubas, clarinets, tabla, base drum and saxophones and perform traditional dances.
Amrit said that roots of the Indian brass band music go deep into the subcontinent’s colonial past.
“Introduced in the middle of the 18th century by the British, thousands of brass bands play at carnivals, national or religious festivals and local marriage celebrations across the country. In Rajasthan alone, there are over 2,000 brass bands performing regularly,” he added.
“We have tried to include in our team the best performers out of the 2,000-odd brass bands,” he added.
In a move to curb corruption in government offices, Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda has given his consent to an ordinance to set up special courts which will have the power to seize/attach properties of corrupt officials.
“Chief Minister Munda has given his approval to set up ‘Jharkhand special court ordinance 2012′. The ordinance has been sent to the governor for notification,” an official of the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) told IANS Saturday.
The special courts will issue notices within 30 days of the petition against the tainted officers.
To fight corruption in government offices, Jharkhand has already formulated the Right to Services Act and the Electronic Delivery Services Act.
India’s nominee, Justice Dalveer Bhandari, a sitting judge of the Supreme Court, has been elected to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the first time an Indian has managed to get this key international post in over two decades.
Bhandari secured 122 votes in the United Nations General Assembly against 58 for his Filipino rival, Syed Akbaruddin, the spokesperson of the external affairs, said here.
In simultaneous elections Friday at the UN headquarters in New York, Bhandari also secured an absolute majority in the Security Council.
In the election to the ICJ, a primary judicial organ of the United Nations, commonly referred to as the World Court, Bhandari was locked in a fierce contest with Justice Florentino P. Feliciano of the Philippines.
Bhadari takes the place of Awn Shawkat Al-Khasawneh of Jordan who resigned from the Asia-Pacific region seat at the end of 2011.
An eminent legal luminary, Bhandari will serve the remainder of the term 2012-18. India was last represented at the ICJ more than two decades ago.
The 64-year-old Justice Bhandari has variegated experience in international law and is well-versed with the working of the UN. Bhandari has been on India’s apex court since 2005 and has served in the higher Indian judiciary for over two decades. He will retire in September this year. He served as the chairperson of the Delhi Centre of the International Law Association for several years.
Bhandari is also a member of leading international academic and legal bodies and is closely associated with a large number of committees dealing with various aspects of international law such as: human rights, biotechnology, sustainable development, securities regulation, trade, nuclear weapons, non-proliferation and contemporary international law and space.
Acknowledging his outstanding contribution, the Northwestern University School of Law, Chicago, US while celebrating its 150 Years (1859-2009) selected Bhandari as one of its 16 most illustrious and distinguished alumni.
In New Delhi, the Supreme Court Thursday had refused to quash Bhandari’s nomination as a judge for the ICJ.
Established in June 1945 by the charter of the United Nations, in The Hague, Netherlands, ICJ’s role is to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorised United Nations organs and specialised agencies.

If you aren't already familiar with their dippy designs, let me introduce you to Liberated Heart; the psychedelic pioneers who have a variety of prints exclusive to their label. I've followed them since their beginnings and it's great to see them doing so well! Everything is created in Byron Bay (Australia) which is the home to many of my all time favourite clothing lines... I'm yet to visit, but I'll definitely be going one day.
This particular skirt is from their 'Icelandic Summer' collection, which personifies pastels and gorgeous muted tones. Unfortunately, it's not available on their site anymore, but there are plenty more prints to choose from; each one bolder than the last. As it's all shipped directly from Aus, you may end up sending a bit more on shipping fees to the UK, but I'd say it's totally worth it: a.) for the quality & b.) because who else is crazy enough to spend that much on shipping?! You can rest assured that you'll be the only psychedelic princess rocking these prints at the festival.
No other shoes could have done this skirt more justice, I absolutely adore these iridescent flatforms from Missguided. I'm already quite tall, but they elongate the leg in an extremely flattering way. Most importantly, they're still super comfy! I gave up on heels a looong time ago. I know it looks like I searched the interweb far and wide to find a matching hat for this look, but I promise you it was a complete coincidence! I randomly came across it when clearing out my old room which hasn't been inhabited for about 10 years... result!

 They were offering half a pitta with various fillings and I found it was the only reliable lunch source so I went back in various disguises for a salad and humous pitta for my lunch . No one spotted my trick and I enjoyed my fill of these gorgeous new freefrom pittas .
 I bought a bulk load and froze them but now I find I ’ve run out and I ca n’t find them anywhere .
 Did I dream that I had found the most perfectly delicious pitta ever ?
 They are gluten , wheat , diary and egg free and really , you just ca n’t tell they ’re # freefrom .
 I also know I did n’t dream these Bfree pittas because fellow freefrom tweeters @glutenfreemrsd @alimentarybites @dairyfree and @emmageah were also getting very excited about them .
 So come on Bfree , I ’ve emailed you , I ’ve tweeted you , I ’ve blogged about your pittas . What ’s happening ?
 I need these pittas . I ’m planning my holidays and I want to order some to take with me .
 Please do n’t disappoint me . There are few freefrom products that are so very freefrom all major allergens and these pittas are to die for .
 I thought I ’d do a little mini bloggette to see if this might flush out the pittas somehow .
 Has anyone found these in their local supermarket ? Did you try them at the allergy show ? Did you love them too ?
 bfree gluten free pitta , coeliac , dairy allergy , dairy and wheat free pittas , egg allergy , egg free pittas , gluten , Shopping , shopping freefrom , where can I buy bfree pittas ?

text: In western society, large-scale campaigns have been widely used to address social and environmental crises. In recent years, mass media and media convergence have produced within the realm of this phenomenon, a new interactive space in which publics are invited to participate and called upon as citizens. A significant corpus of academic research has studied these occasions through the themes of media rituals, celebrity diplomacy, global policy and “compassion fatigue”. This research uses the 2005 Live 8 campaign as a case study combining perspectives on media events, Jacques Ellul’s writings on propaganda and a rhetorical analysis in order to understand the techniques, which made Live 8 successful at mobilizing masses all around the world. The present study speaks to thought and action in relation to mobilization within a mediated environment for a global humanitarian crisis. Ultimately this research bridges the aspect of performance with citizenship and propaganda, into the question of whether contemporary media events, through their means of mobilization and civic participation, give way to a performance of citizenship.

This house replaced an old building that had suffered greatly over the years. It contains a number of highly efficient features in a relatively traditional package. Walls that are 12 inches thick with cellulose insulation produces a remarkably energy-efficient shell, for example.
The goal was to design a large house that still fit into the context of the “village “ community. The varied roofs provided volume, while keeping the style harmonious with the rest of the neighborhood.
We designed the kitchen to include a breakfast nook “bump out,” allowing for lots of light in both the kitchen and eating area.
Since the kitchen is the heart of the home, we expanded the space to include an informal sitting area and fireplace, as well as a connected screened-in porch. The open design creates specific areas that work together — and accentuates the kitchen as the center of social activity.
A traditional, formal living room is located at the front of the house. The bay windows here are echoed in the breakfast nook.
Located in the heart of Munjoy Hill, this house was renovated from top to bottom and esentially reframed from the inside. The interior was opened up and reconfigured.
The original staircase had a beautiful curving design that was common when the house was built. However, the original floorplan hid the stairway and buried it into a dark hallway.
The fence marks the line between the public and private parts of the yard. It is also where the house transitions from the original exterior design to a more mordern look.
The major challenge of this building was its long, narrow shape. We carefully considered the creative placement of travel paths between the front and back of the house.
This is the entrance to the master bedroom, located at the rear of the second floor.
This house was completely renovated and updated with all new systems throughout, while maintaining the original character of the house. The entry and kitchen were opened up and expanded.
The kitchen and the entry to the house were opened up and expanded.
The new kitchen is flooded with lots of natural light.
We reconfigured the kitchen to create two large openings that connect it to the living space in the middle of the house. The result is a more open feeling and more natural light.
The challenge was to take a very plain, boxy two-unit apartment building and transform it into something visually interesting, while working within very specific spatial confines. The introduction of a “tower” helped to break up the ordinary lines of the building, without breaking zoning laws. The tower also houses a beautiful spiral staircase, which dramatically changed the interior as well.
There was only one balcony in the original plan, but now each unit has its own private balcony. Subtle angles and clean lines add a modern twist to the entire building.
The rooftop deck is an addition that offers views of Munjoy HIll and Cousins Island — and another space to entertain and socialize.

Forgive me if this topic has been discuss previously.
Living in SW Virginia and being limited in travel, I personally never had the opprotunity to sample Meads, other than my own. I have no idea how good, or how bad, my Mead is, in comparison to other Meads.
At least in my case, the actual sampling of your Mead may be the best learning experience.
Is it possible, and is there an interest in having a Mead exchange?
Sorry, I live in CA. Is exchange by shipping an option?
You might want to try kwmeads.com and take a look at all their commercial meads.
I'm into trying it. I just bottled a dry Blueberry Melomel which is quite good for 9 months, about 6 months in the bottle will make it just right. I also have a Ginger mead which looks like it may be awsome in a few months, its crystal clear and tasted quite good at bottling. My cysers are a few months away from bottling and my pyment has about 6 months in the carboy and a few rackings. Marion PM me if you want to go for it.
We do it all the time on Beer Advocate. Personal exchanges of beer, mead and wine happen all the time without incedent.
I'm game. For all that are interested, let's set a date to swap one sample. How does the first week of August sound? What size sample?

Thailand officially observes 23 national holidays and several religious observances.
Buddhism is the predominant religion, practiced by around 95 percent of Thai citizens. The majority of traditional holidays are based on Buddhist culture and beliefs.
Government offices and immigration offices in Thailand are closed on these days so keep that in mind if you need to extend your visa or require consular services. Thai embassies and consulates outside of Thailand may also be closed on these dates. Where the actual date of the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, a substitute holiday has been granted on the Monday.

Raging floodwaters accompanied by strong winds have totally destroyed a part of the Tha La dyke and threatening to inundate thousands of hectares of autumn-winter rice crops in An Giang Province.
The 8km-long dyke runs across Vinh Chau and Vinh Te communes in Chau Doc Town and protects nearly 6,000 hectares of rice growing area.
Floodwater levels reached 3.65 meters, 1.66 meters higher than previous years. They are expected to rise further because of high tide in September and October.
Local authorities are cooperating with residents to protect the dyke and salvage thousands of hectares of rice crops.
Heavy rainfall caused a massive landslide along a 70m-long stretch of land along the Tien River in Vinh Lac hamlet of Vinh Hoa commune in Tan Chau town on September 21.The local government moved swiftly and evacuated three households to a safe place.

Western Sahara is on the Atlantic coast of north-west Africa, between Morocco to the north and Mauritania to the south and east and Algeria to the north-east.
The area of Western Sahara is 266,000 sq km of which 180,000 sq km (68%) is occupied by Morocco and 86,000 sq km (32%) is controlled by SADR, the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic.
In the eighties Morocco divided the territory with a 1,800 km wall or berm made of sand, stone, landmines and barbed wire. The wall is watched over by radars, artillery, and air force, and is protected by 160,000 armed soldiers. Another 920 km of walls have been built inside the occupied area.
Western Sahara is rich in mineral resources, including phosphate mineral rock which Australia imports contrary to international law. Western Sahara has one of the best fishing grounds in the world. Currently its off-shore oil resources are being explored.
Morocco invaded Western Sahara in 1975 when Spain abandoned its former colony. Mauritania seized part of the land, but soon made peace with the Polisario Front, the Saharawi people’s political organisation, which continued the fight against Morocco.
Many Saharawis fled the tanks and aerial bombardments of napalm and cluster bombs of the Moroccan invaders and set up refugee camps near Tindouf in south-west Algeria where more than 165,000 of them now live supported by the UN Food Program and other humanitarian aid.
Those who remained in their homeland have constantly faced arrest, imprisonment, death and “disappearance” at the hands of Moroccan occupying forces. Their escape is blocked by a 2,400km wall dividing Western Sahara into the coastal zone occupied by Morocco and the interior part held by the Polisario Front.
In 1975 the International Court of Justice held that Western Sahara was not terra nullius at the time of its colonisation by Spain and that neither Morocco nor Mauritania had sovereignty over it at that time.
The war between Morocco and the Polisario continued until an UN-African Union brokered a ceasefire in 1991.
The UN has arrangements in place for a referendum of self-determination of the Saharawi people but Morocco refused to allow the referendum to be held.
While life is scarcely viable in the harsh Hamada desert where the refugees live, as there are no means for self sufficiency, the Saharawis living in occupied Western Sahara suffer the terrible oppression already noted.
MINURSO was established to organise a referendum for self-determination of the Saharawi people in 1992 as part of peace process between Morocco and Polisario.
By 1996 the peace process was in stalemate.
In 1997, James Baker (George H. Bush’s Secretary of State) became a UN envoy and drew up a new plan for the referendum, the Framework agreement on the Status of Western Sahara. Morocco refused to co-operate.
In 2003 Baker made a new plan, known as Baker Plan II – Peace plan for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. This was accepted by the UN and the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). Morocco still refuses to allow UN sponsored referendum to take place.
Since May 2005, there has been an increase in this oppression. Peaceful demonstrations have been brutally put down. Many Saharawis have been arrested and imprisoned. Some have been tortured and some have “disappeared”. Women and children have been assaulted in their own homes and their property stolen by Moroccan police and soldiers. Outsiders, including parliamentarians from the European Union, Spain and Norway have been refused entry to Western Sahara. So have human rights bodies from Norway and elsewhere.
The Saharawis have their own democratically elected government, the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), with men and women ministers and parliamentarians. Its officials run the camps. SADR is recognised as the legitimate government of Western Sahara by at least 80 countries, most recently by the Republic of South Africa and Kenya. It is a member of the African Union.
In May 2005 in preparation for the full recovery of all of the Western Sahara territory SADR announced the commencement of a licensing initiative to enable international oil and gas companies to participate in the exploration of its offshore territory.
This licensing initiative is open to all competent and qualified companies and has been arranged in accordance with the UN legal opinion regarding commercial activities in Western Sahara.
SADR believes that development of its significant natural resources will play an important part in developing a self-reliant, democratic and progressive nation in Western Sahara.
The present situation cannot continue. The oppression of the Saharawis in occupied Western Sahara must stop. The refugees in the camps must feel safe to return to their own country after the referendum to be ruled by a government that they elect directly.
The UN, the African Union, the European Union and nations individually must act to ensure that Morocco no longer precludes the referendum on self-determination for the Saharawi people from taking place.
The Saharawi people must be allowed to determine their own future through a free and fair UN sponsored referendum.

Alphitonia blossom Red Ashis derived from the Greek αλφιτον (alphiton), barley meal, and refers to the dry, mealy quality of the mesocarp in the fruits; excelsa is from the Latin excelsus, elevated, high.
The Red Ash grows in eucalypt forests, eucalypt and acacia savannas, gallery forests and rainforests of NSW from Mt Dromedary northwards along the coast through Queensland and the Northern Territory, into the northwest of Western Australia. It is also found in New Guinea and on some of the Pacific Islands. It is a small to medium tree, up to about 20 m tall, is a natural colonizer or pioneer in a huge range of conditions, and can sometimes regenerate from underground stems. It has a spreading, shade-producing habit where it is able to grow into a large tree, and has an overall greyish green appearance.
detail of blossom blossom, fruits formingThe trunk and larger branches have fissured grey bark, with smaller branches having smoother grey or white bark. Lichens are often found on older specimens. The entire, simple, alternate leaves are 5 – 14 cm in length and 2 – 5 cm in width, elliptic in shape, and are dark glossy green above and silvery with fine hairs underneath, making an attractive contrast on windy days. Venation is prominent and yellowish below, and sunken above. In the dry season, many of the leaves are shed, and the remaining leaves hang vertically to reduce water loss. The tree bears small greenish white 5-petalled flowers in late autumn and early winter, followed by globular dark fruit about 1.5 cm in diameter, with a raised ring around the middle. The powdery red flesh of the drupe covers 2 hard cells, each containing a single seed. Seeds can persist on the branches for several months. When young shoots are bruised, they give off a typical odour of sarsaparilla. The flowers are fragrant in the evening.
fruits ripe fruits When grown under cultivation, this is quite a quick-growing tree, and can have high visual appeal, especially as a street tree. Its tough timber is light brown to reddish in colour, and has been used in boat building and cabinet-making, particularly in Samoa, where the tree is known as toi.
mature fruits Aborigines used the crushed leaves and berries as a fish poison. For medical use, they crushed the leaves into a paste, mixed that with water and applied it as a head bath to reduce headaches and treat sore eyes. Infusions of the bark and root were rubbed on the body to reduce muscular ache, and gargled to cure toothache. The leaves contain saponin, and so when crushed can be lathered to produce a bush soap. In Borneo, the sap from under the bark is collected, and used to treat skin diseases by mixing it in the bath water.

LANSING — State Rep. Darrin Camilleri (D-Brownstown Township) has introduced a bill to help counteract the latest round of vehicle registration fee increases for Michigan’s senior citizens. The legislation would exempt those aged 65 or older from having to pay the increased fees as a result of the controversial road funding package that was passed in 2015.
As of Jan. 1, registration fees for passenger and commercial vehicles increased by 20 percent. Michigan would join Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and South Carolina as states that offer vehicle registration discounts to senior citizens, while Alaska waives the fee for seniors altogether. Camilleri’s bill is a reintroduction of House Bill 5939 from the previous legislative session. Despite bipartisan support, the House majority declined to hold a committee hearing on the bill.

Standard dialogue tags are said and asked. The mind skips over them, so they are invisible.
"It is hotly debated whether you should ever use colorful or adverb tags," she muttered. "Some editors don't mind a few creative tags."
"Some may allow adverb tags," she said skeptically. "Adverb tags are generally frowned upon."
" Break this rule at your own peril," she said mischievously.
Your dialogue should look like one of these examples. Note the correct formatting. Commas, periods, and question marks should fall within the quotation marks.
A comma separates the dialogue from the standard tag. A period separates the dialogue from an action tag.
The same formatting for the standard tag applies to a creative tag or action tags.
Standard tag in the front: Sherlock said, "I see."
Standard tag in the middle: "I see," Sherlock said. "I have been misinformed."
Standard tag at the end: "I see," Sherlock said. (or) "I see," said Sherlock.
Action tag in the front: Sherlock cleared his throat. "I see."
Action tag in the middle: "I see." Sherlock cleared his throat. "I was misinformed."
Action tag at the end: "I see." Sherlock cleared his throat.
Action combined with a standard tag: Sherlock pointed to the clock and said, "I must be off."

Dialogue, just the way we talk?
This is a great topic, Diana, one that trips up a lot of writers. It reminds me of some manuscripts I've edited where a page is filled with short exchanges between two characters, and the writer identifies each bit of conversation with "he said" or "she said". Overuse of dialogue tags--whether standard or action--diminishes the power of a scene, while proper use enhances it. All writers need to remember that.
Great reminders that "said" and "asked" are invisible to the reader. The only other one I like to use (sparingly) is "whispered."
Good post. I don't like adverb tags, either. The content of your writing should tell you if your are acting mischievously or skeptically. You see these tags a lot in older books.
I don't mind the occasional adverb tag, as long as it's not over used. Great post.
On a long trip, I listened to a bestselling author's book, filled with adverb tags. Hearing them throughout was more than annoying. For that reason, I never use them. If you adhere to Elmore Leonard's rules, you'd never use them at all. I disagree. Adverbs have their place, just not as a dialogue tag. My rule is whatever works for the sentence is what I do. Bah humbug on the rules.
Adverb tags are most 'famous' as Tom Swifties.

These days, Harbour View Hospital is full of activity. But it wasn’t always that way.
In early 2016, Harbour View – a long-term care and rehabilitation facility in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia – came to the realization that change was needed to enhance quality of care.
At that time, it was felt that staff were working in silos and that interprofessional collaboration between staff could be improved.
The facility’s diverse client population is served by an equally diverse multidisciplinary team that includes nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreation, social work, orthotics, hearing and speech, dietary, and others.
Based on the perceived need to address problems with internal communication, Harbour View used funds from an innovation nursing grant to work on improving inter-professional collaboration on its rehabilitation unit.
Part of the grant work included conducting a survey of all the clients in the rehab program. The survey asked clients what they felt could be improved at Harbour View.
The results were, in a word, surprising.
Resident Dennis Westin, centre, with niece Jen Boutilier and her partner Brittany Jones, enjoy some quality family time at Harbour View with their beloved pets.
“All along, our focus had been on what we thought was an inter-professional role issue, so we were expecting feedback on that,” says Angela Stairs, Director for Rehabilitation Services for the Nova Scotia Health Authority Eastern Zone.
However, the overwhelming message was that clients wanted their families and loved ones to be more involved in their care.
“The issue did end up being about communication – not between professions, but with clients and families,” Angela explains. Families wanted more information on the day-to-day routine and treatment plans for their loved ones, and recommended that they be given more notice when clients were to be discharged. Clients and families alike also wanted flexible visiting hours.
Armed with this information, one of Harbour View’s first tasks was to do a full walk-about of the facility to identify areas for improvement in client-centred care. “We discovered right away that we had some challenges,” says Lorna O’Grady, manager of resident care for Harbour View site.
The building has a single entrance that splits off into two hallways: one leads to the long term care side of the facility, and the other to rehabilitation/restorative care. No signs were posted on the long term care side indicating what the visiting hours were, whereas the rehab side had signs posted at the building entrance saying that visitors were allowed in the rehab unit between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
In March 2016, CFHI launched a pan-Canadian family presence e-collaborative initiative. The e-collaborative built on the work of the Better Together campaign and was designed to encourage organizations to examine and modify their family visiting policies.
Harbour View began its participation in CFHI’s 11-month e-collaborative in May 2016, along with 11 other sites from across Canada. Particularly valuable, according to Angela, were the regularly scheduled affinity calls that provided opportunities for all the organizations in the e-collaborative to share best practices and talk about solutions to common challenges.
Almost right away, Harbour View began to make some changes. They designed a new client and family information booklet and implemented revised visiting guidelines to include 24/7 visiting hours for families and loved ones. Education sessions and focus groups were delivered by former clients to give staff, families and clients an opportunity to ask questions and suggest improvements.
Angela and Lorna admit that change is not always easy. There were some concerns expressed by clients, families and staff about issues such as privacy breaches and interruptions to treatment. “Some worried that the floodgates would open and that families would be there all night, all day, potentially compromising the delivery of care,” Angela explains.
However, almost immediately it became clear that having family members present was helpful for everyone. Staff are now reporting that having an extra pair of hands and eyes helps to provide consistency in care, and is especially valuable when it comes to transitioning care from facility to home.
Harbour View Hospital has seen lots of changes since implementing its 24/7 visiting hours. The recreation department, for example, has ensured that the facility is equipped with family-friendly activities such as a newly purchased a shuffleboard that is used daily by clients and their families. Family members are regularly attending care plan sessions and the facility is seeing many more visitors – of all ages – all day, every day.
