This March, Whitworth Theatre will present its spring production, "Eurydice." Performances will be March 4, 5, 11, and 12 at 8 p.m. and March 6 at 2 p.m., in Cowles Memorial Auditorium on Whitworth's campus. General admission is $8; students, children and senior citizens (62 and up) pay $6. Tickets may be purchased at the door, in advance by calling the theatre box office at (509) 777-3707, or online at www.whitworth.edu/theatretickets.
The classic tale of Orpheus has inspired multiple operas, movies, and a ballet, and it now has another offshoot in the form of a modern adaptation that promises to offer creative sets and a fantastical version of the traditional tale of Orpheus.
"Eurydice" is the creation of Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl. A play about memory, love and grief, "Eurydice" is a modern reimagining of the myth of Orpheus. The play is told from the perspective of Eurydice, Orpheus' wife, as she "journeys to the underworld and struggles to retain memories of her lost love." The play features a shift in perspective to Eurydice's pilgrimage through the underworld, where she learns of love, loss and the pain of memories.
Brooke Kiener, '99, the play's director and instructor of theatre at Whitworth, says "Ruhl has taken this well-known moment from classical literature—a person giving into an overwhelming desire to look back while on a journey forward—and turned it into a metaphor about grief and memory that is the crux of the play."
"Eurydice" first premiered at the Madison Repertory Theatre, in Madison, Wisc. It has since been staged across the U.S.. The play had its well-received New York premier at the Second Stage Theater in 2007.
Ruhl first gained widespread recognition for her play "The Clean House," which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2005. She was awarded the MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, reserved for those with exceptional merit in the creative fields.
"Sarah Ruhl is one of my favorite new playwrights, because her work is always inventive and poetic," Kiener says. "I hope the play allows people to consider their relationship to grief, allows them to see the way that we can be transformed by both sorrow and hope."

Breaking the Silence on Female Victims of Violence
Unsung Heroes, a new photography exhibition at the Galerie Joseph Froissart location, is gracefully bringing attention to a topic that has been silenced for years. Sixty portraits and testimonies of women dispersed among the white walls of three floors center on the faces and voices of women around the world who have suffered through violence at the hands of their people and country. For eight months photographer Denis Rouvre, in a joint collaboration with Médecins du Monde, collected the intimate and vulnerable stories of women across nine of the countries where Médecins du Monde conducts its humanitarian programs. With powerful portraits and testimony, the exhibition aims to not only expose injustices suffered by these women, but to also reveal their admiral acts of resistance, strength, and survival.

"Unsung Heroes is where the messages of hope of millions of women are echoed and where we hear, if we want to listen, the murmur of change..." - Médecins du Monde.
The first wall of the exhibition, absent of any picture, contained a release statement from Médecins du Monde addressing the urgency of listening. Each woman featured in the gallery has silently suffered through violence, hate, and intolerance and is now taking back their voice. Exposure is only half the battle. To listen to these women is to bring attention to stories both mundane and foreign - stories that can hopefully help us recognize what is missing and what needs to be fixed. The exhibition is a call for recognition. Violence continues when it is ignored.
I Suffer From What All Women Suffer
"I suffer from what all women suffer. It is women who suffer the most right now." - JAMILA, Syria. Image Credit: Denis Rouvre.
Denis Rouvre is extremely purposeful and expressive with his portraiture, each photograph adding weight to the woman's story. White walls and light are a stark contrast against the black-framed female portraits. Every wall hints at different groupings of violence that women have endured. Intolerance, brutality, hate, economic, and political violence are distinguished by wall groupings and then magnificently overlapped by testimony.
In The Eyes of A Man, The Woman Is Fragile
"In the eyes of a man, the woman is fragile, she is nothing, she does nothing." - AMINA, 30 years old, Algeria. Image Credit: Denis Rouvre.
Portraits of women from Algeria, Syria, Palestine, Cameroon, Nepal, Kenya, France, and many more are spread out along the three floors of Galerie Joseph-Froissart. Written testimonies describing discrimination based on sexuality, citizenship, religion, and gender compliment each portrait. Within each section of the exhibition, a woman's voice can be heard from a speaker discussing her experiences with violence and injustice. Each face, each voice has a unique story - intimate and personal in its experience, yet linked by female struggle.
Where I Come From
"Where I come from, homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment." - DIANA, 28, Kenya. Image Credit: Denis Rouvre.
Through testimony and portraiture "Unsung Heroes" is able to raise the voices of women who have been silenced. The exhibition is both fragile and extremely powerful in its delivery - attaching a voice to the different faces of struggle and adversity. More than being informative, "Unsung Heroes" is honest - demanding the public that it is finally time to listen.
Visit and hear for yourself; "Unsung Heroes" Galerie Joseph - Froissart location. 7 Rue Froissart, 75003, Paris, France. October 9 to November 2. Monday through Sunday, 11am to 7pm.

Ambitious IT pros seek COO role, Peter High featured in Computerworld Article
Ambitious IT pros seek COO role
To effect truly strategic and visionary change, motivated tech leaders are looking at operations rather than IT.
Except from the article:
Trending: "CIO-plus" roles
In many cases, when IT and operations do converge, it's not a case of a traditional COO taking the reins of IT, but rather of an elite CIO stepping up. That's part of a broader trend to award the senior IT role more responsibility — what some management consultants are calling "CIO-plus."
"The great CIOs are becoming more of an operator and view their role like a COO, thinking more broadly and recognizing their strategic perch in the corporate structure," says Peter High, president of Metis Strategy LLC, a boutique strategy and management consulting firm. "They are more likely to have an intimate understanding of other areas like human resources and the supply chain that arguably no other leader has, so it's logical for them to take that next step to COO."
For Duane Anderson, a CIO-plus role has always been a goal. Anderson, now CIO/COO at marketing agency Marquette Group, has had several key mentors, including Tekexec's Stanley, who blazed the trail for a broader CIO role when the pair were at Harrah's Entertainment, now Caesars. "It was part of the proving ground when I came up," Anderson says. "I didn't know that it wasn't normal."
To read the remainder of the article, please visit Computerworld
If interested, please read a related article on how CIOs Are Finally Getting Some Respect, written by Esther Shein and published in The Enterprising CIO.

Road Right-of-Way Records
The Coffey County Highway Department maintains an extensive and fairly complete record of road records and right-of-way widths for rural Coffey County. Original road records for road openings and vacation actions are filed in the survey library by section, township, and range. Additionally, this office retains road right-of-way records for new roads and for road / bridge improvement projects.
Permission and authority to install, operate and maintain within Coffey County Road Right-of-Way requires a form to be completed along with a $100 deposit. The Right-of-Way Coordinator will review and assign a number once it has been submitted.
Road Permit Form (PDF)
Prior to 1991, all road records and right-of-way documents were filed only in the County Road Record as required by law which is maintained in the County Engineer's Office. Beginning in 1991, all new road right-of-way documents and road vacation actions have been recorded in the Register of Deeds Office as well as filed in the County Road Record. Road right-of-way information shown on county GIS maps is for general information and may not contain the most current road record information from the road record prior to 1991. The most accurate information regarding road widths and status of road rights of way can only be obtained through diligent research which should include the records of County Engineer's Office as well as the Register of Deeds and the Clerk of the District Court.

On 17 February, UNU-IAS, together with the Global Environmental Outreach Centre (GEOC), organized the Workshop on Best Practices of Local Community Projects. From Hokkaido to Okinawa, eight different local organizations presented examples of local community issues solved through multi-stakeholder partnerships.
The workshop also included a presentation by Senior Programme Coordinator Tsunao Watanabe. He presented background on the Sustainable Development Goals and introduced the case of conservation of the Japanese crested ibis on Sado Island as a cross-sectoral model that spans agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and tourism.
The workshop concluded with a poster session and group work to exchange opinions and best practices in order to advance such activities in the future.


Autism-Friendly Holiday Gifts for Kids - 75+ Parent-Approved Gift Ideas!

Thank you for shopping through these Autism-Friendly Holiday Gifts for Kids to help to support this blog!
Hope you're having a lovely day! Can you BELIEVE it is November already? You know what that means, it means the holidays are right around the corner. And if you're anything like me, you like to get your holiday shopping done early so you can really soak in the magic of the season. One of the questions we get asked every year is what people can get Wyatt for Christmas.
This year, I wanted to make a large gift guide for parents of kiddos with Autism, and for people who are buying for kiddos with Autism so they had an easy guide filled with parent-approved items to purchase. Who are these parents? Myself and members of many, many Autism support groups that I'm in. I posted a call-out on the Facebook pages and asked for their suggestions! Below you will find a list of over 75+ items loved by little ones with Autism from all over!

If you run this in Firefox then you get "undefined" in alert prompts.
Any reason, why FF is behaving this way or I have done something wrong.
Thanks in advance!

A: The reason why this works for Chrome is that it triggers the click event down to the input:radio level, while Firefox doesn't have this kind of behavior.
As far as I know, Bootstrap doesn't handle this functionality between buttons and nested input radio buttons. So you'll have to set the checked attribute of the input:radio buttons on click of a Bootstrap styled button.
$('div.btn-group .btn').click(function(){
  $(this).find('input:radio').attr('checked', true);
  alert($('input[name=radio-btn-ctrl]:checked').val());
});

Washington, DC — The Centrist Project Voice, the nation's first political action committee supporting candidates ready to set aside partisan politics and focus on the core issues of critical importance to all Americans, today announced that it has endorsed Larry Pressler of South Dakota in his campaign to return to the U.S. Senate.
"The Centrist Project Voice is pleased to be able to support Larry Pressler in his bid to once again serve the people of South Dakota and the United States by focusing on the critical and mainstream issues that face our country," said Centrist Project Founder Charles Wheelan, a senior lecturer and policy fellow at the Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College and the bestselling author of Naked Economics. "He has embraced the Centrist Principles, (fiscal responsibility, environmental stewardship, social tolerance, economic opportunity and a pragmatic approach to solving core policy challenges) as being the bedrock for how to approach public policy matters in order to break the partisan deadlock that grips Congress and move America forward."
If reelected, Pressler would play a crucial role as a bridge builder in the Senate, making him a catalyst for addressing the central public policy challenges facing our country and particularly powerful as a representative of the people of South Dakota.
"As an Independent in what will probably be a closely divided Senate, I want to help end the poisonous bickering between Republicans and Democrats," Pressler said.
After serving two terms in the House of Representatives, Pressler served South Dakota for three terms from 1979 to 1997 as a Republican senator. During his service in the Senate, he was chairman of the Commerce Committee and authored the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which was the first overhaul of telecommunications law in more than 60 years. Pressler is running as an Independent to break the partisan deadlock that grips Congress and to bring new approaches to the challenges we face as a nation in contrast to the established parties which he views as bankrupt of new ideas.

Home/Business/Next threat to prices: an increase in product shipping costs
Next threat to prices: an increase in product shipping costs
smsmalex2022-02-25
Container ship operators and large importers like IKEA and Walmart Inc.
will soon negotiate freight rates that could affect the prices consumers pay for everything from jeans to cars.
One-year freight contracts, which contribute up to three-quarters of ship operators' annual revenue, will largely be settled at the TPM conference in Long Beach, Calif., next week. The average price to move a 40-foot box from China to the West Coast of the United States is expected to be between $7,000 and $8,000, a record for annual freight deals and above last year's average about $5,500, according to carrier and importer executives. involved in the talks.
After two years of supply chain disruptions and transport delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic, importers place high value on service reliability and predictability, with some seeking longer freight contracts term, according to analysts. More than a quarter of all shipping containers entering the United States are goods destined for major importers such as Walmart and Amazon.com Inc., among others, according to ship operators and freight forwarders.
The logistics report
Top news and in-depth analysis on the world of logistics, from supply chain to transport and technology.
"We are now seeing more and more importers signing annual contracts earlier as well as longer contracts," said Lars Jensen, managing director of Danish consultancy Vespucci Maritime. "It's about managing risk in an environment where uncertainty about supply chain stability in 2022 continues to be very high."
Representatives of several carriers and freight owners declined to comment on the freight talks. In recent months, various companies have said rising transportation costs or efforts to circumvent supply chain issues have eaten away at their profit margins, with some predicting spending will remain at high levels this year.
"The biggest challenge we have right now on the gross margin side is transportation costs," David Bergman, chief financial officer of Under Armor Inc., said on an earnings call earlier this month. ci, adding that freight rates "will probably take a little bit longer to settle down.
Revenues for container shippers have taken off during the pandemic as demand for manufactured goods has soared with not enough ships to transport them.
News by Qilai Shen/Bloomberg
Hasbro Inc., the American multinational toy and entertainment company, said earlier this month that price increases expected in the second quarter will offset rising transportation costs, but the supply chain environment will remain difficult this year.
"We've never had such market dynamics, with liners holding all the cards," said Patrik Berglund, CEO of Norwegian transport data and procurement specialist Xeneta. "The top five operators control three-quarters of all container capacity. That's a lot of pricing power for very few players.
Revenues for container shippers have taken off during the pandemic as demand for manufactured goods like appliances, cars and home improvement materials has soared, with not enough ships to transport them. At the same time, labor shortages due to Covid-19 outbreaks in ports around the world and insufficient truck, train and warehouse capacity have extended delivery times.
To replenish dwindling stocks, a number of importers have booked crossings with cash rates separate from their annual freight contracts. Some importers paid daily rates of more than $20,000 per box on Pacific Ocean crossings last year, with ships waiting for weeks to unload goods in choked ports that had no space to bring more containers. Large importers have also gone so far as to charter their own ships to circumvent port delays.
The Covid pandemic has strained global supply chains, causing freight backlogs that have driven up costs. Today, some companies are looking for longer-term solutions to prepare for future supply chain crises, even though these strategies come at a high cost. Photo illustration: Jacob Reynolds
Spot prices to send a container from Shanghai to Los Angeles have since declined but continue to hover around $16,000, according to the Freightos Baltic index, from around $4,700 a year earlier.
Analysts expect daily rates to fall later this year as people return to their offices and spend more on services such as entertainment, food and travel. Rising commodity prices and strong demand supported by economic stimulus packages helped lift global trade last year to a record $28.5 trillion, the UN Conference on Trade has said and development in a report this month.
"As these trends are expected to subside, international trade trends are expected to normalize in 2022," the report said.
The shipping industry suffered a decade of significant losses after the 2008 financial crisis and began to consolidate in 2016. Major carriers have also formed three alliances where they share ships, ports of call and networks, leaving little room for smaller players to compete.
"With the alliances controlling capacity, there is no chance of freight rates falling off a cliff and returning to pre-pandemic levels," Berglund said.

Yeah, they are referred to as the '4 Quadrants' in the show.
You wrote that multiple times, but it's not really that important for the plot. In the english dub maybe they were referred as "quadrants" but other sources use the term galaxy and never show more than four. It may have been retconned in Super, but they also did the mistake of showing the Earth as the real one with the real continents etc. in that show, so I don't think it's a safe source of info.
I'm even willing to accept this late change (because they were not more than four originally), but it really does not affect the plot under any circumstances.
I can't believe I never noticed before, but you are right. I don't think Goku and Yamcha had ever trained together. Mind blown.

Flower Flesh — Duck in the Box
(Black Widow BWRCD501, 2012, CD)
by Henry Schneider, Published 2013-09-11
There is not much information available about this Italian prog rock band. They have been around since 2005, but their MySpace page is noticeably lacking in details. If you Google "Flower Flesh" you get all kinds of information about carrion and corpse flowers, and there is also an Indonesian band of the same name. The title of this release, Duck in a Box, is even more obscure. For the life of me I cannot determine what it means as the seven songs and titles give no hints. Nevertheless, Flower Flesh is part of the current resurgence of 70s-style prog rock in Italy. The band is the quintet of Ivan Giribone (bass guitar), Andrea Fazio (drums), Marco Olivieri (guitar), Eros "Elvstrom" Indimberge (lead vocals), and Alberto Sgarlato (keyboards and synths). Most of the seven symphonic prog songs are in the five to six minute range. However there is a certain sameness to the songs; there are moments of brilliance, but these tend to get mired in the mix. It is as if the band could have used a bit of guidance to better hone their music. For example, "Antarctica" could have been an excellent mood piece as it begins with a lot of promise using shortwave clips and cold winds, but it immediately shifts into a standard 70s prog song with nothing to make it stand out from the rest. Highpoints for me on the disc are "My Gladness after the Sadness" with its Al Stewart-like guitar line and synths that builds to a majestic end, and the closing track "Scream and Die" that is simply superb and a great way to end the disc. The analog synths and Mellotron are great, but the disc is uneven. Hopefully over time the band will find their voice and their next release will be better focused.

Pochettino: Spurs player must improve to compete
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino (pic Mike Egerton/PA) - Credit: PA Wire/PA Images
Mauricio Pochettino says every player at Tottenham is aware of the need to improve if they are to compete for big things this season.
Spurs let a two-goal lead slip away to Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday night and had to settle for a 2-2 draw in a case of deja vu after an identical scenario at Arsenal earlier this month.
Harry Kane admitted he could understand the frustration of his manager, saying: "He's been here for six years now and we're still making similar mistakes to the ones we were in his first year."
Pochettino, speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League match at Leicester, said: "I cannot talk about things I didn't hear. We need to be careful and my responsibility as a manager is to be careful.
"After the game, how you translate to me and the words or sentences are sometimes not in maybe the way he wanted to express or translate and that is why I will never judge the words of player after the game or in interview - never.
"They are so free to talk in the way they want to talk, but most important is we share the same opinion in private that we need to improve and I think all the players in the squad feel the same that we need to improve if we are to be a contender for big things."
After the match in Greece, Pochettino talked about how training maybe needed to be "psychologically harder" but appeared to back track on this when looking ahead to a trip to King Power.
He added: "(It) Depends how the people took my words, I never said that, that doesn't mean we are going to run more or spend more time at the training centre.
"I think I wanted to say to keep the level we showed, the concentration and the focus we showed in the first half of Crystal Palace - that is the challenge to show the rest of the season."
Tottenham scored four times in the opening 45 minutes of last weekend's 4-0 victory at home to Roy Hodgson's side to put an inconsistent first month of the campaign behind them.
Yet a sluggish start in Athens against Olympiacos suggested Spurs are not quite back to their best.
Leicester, who hold ambitions of breaking into the Premier League top six, will look to back up those claims in the lunchtime kick-off, especially given the lack of preparation Tottenham have had.
Pochettino's players only returned to Hotspur Way at 4am on Thursday after a flight back from Greece, but he warned: "We cannot think about that.
"We need to be ready to compete on Saturday. We cannot change and only we can affect in a negative or positive way if we talk too much in one or another way.
"I prefer to talk positive. We have a big squad and we will assess the players and I hope to have a very good game and of course it will not be an excuse.
"What happens, happens on Saturday morning. We need to approach the game in our best condition and we have time to recover and I will tell you after the game if I am happy or not and if we suffer with this travelling."
Spurs will be without Giovani Lo Celso (hip) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) for the clash with Brendan Rodgers' side.

Two More H160s For The French Navy
The French Armament General Directorate (DGA) has confirmed an option to Airbus Helicopters, Babcock and Safran Helicopter Engines for two more H160s for the French Navy. These aircraft will join the fleet of four H160s already contracted in 2020, the first of which is currently being assembled by Airbus Helicopters in Marignane, in the south of France. The six H160s will be delivered in a Search and Rescue (SAR) configuration and will gradually start operating from May 2022 from Lanveoc-Poulmic naval air station (Britany), Cherbourg airport (Normandy) and Hyères naval air station (Provence). Awaiting the H160M "Guépard" deliveries in the frame of the French Joint Light Helicopter (Hélicoptère Interarmées Léger: HIL) programme, these H160s will take over the SAR missions currently conducted by the NH90s and Panthers , allowing these combat helicopters to fulfil their main tasks at sea on board combat vessels.
The French Navy's operational feedback with these H160s will benefit the design of the military version of the aircraft and its associated support system.
The H160s were ordered in 2018 and will be maintained and equipped by Babcock in partnership with Airbus Helicopters, and Safran Helicopters Engines ensuring the highest level of availability for the French Navy and the continuity of SAR operations on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coasts. Built by Airbus Helicopters, the six H160s will be equipped with a winch and a modular cabin that can be optimized for each mission. The H160s will be certified for use of night vision goggles which are necessary for winching operations at night.
The six H160s will be modified into a light military configuration by Babcock, a provider of critical, complex engineering services to governments, to answer to the needs of the French Navy. Babcock will integrate the Safran Electronics & Defense new generation electro-optical system, Euroflir 410.
The H160, as a next generation medium twin engine aircraft, powered by Arrano engines, is modular by design in order to address missions ranging from offshore transportation, private and business aviation, emergency medical services, and public services.
169 H160Ms, "Guépard," are foreseen in the frame of the HIL programme to replace five types of helicopters in service with the French armed forces.

Before we get into 2016, let's look back and see how the Indian markets performed in 2015 vis a vis the world markets. The Sensex was down by 5% with respect to 2014 closing levels (from 27500 levels to 26100). US equity market(S&P 500) had almost flat at 0.7% down . European stock markets had a mixed bag with German DAX rising at 9.6% growth but UK's FTSE in negative zone(-5%), Japan(NIKKEI) was in positive zone (9%) after it dropped 8% in 2014. Shanghai(China)market went up by 9%. As we witnessed turbulence in almost all markets and economies, Indian markets also got impacted negatively with FIIs pulling out $5 Billion in last 6 months after market had risen to 30000 and markets dropped 13% from that peak levels . 2015 will be remembered as a year of turbulence and volatility in global markets as after a decent and optimistic start for the year , markets witnessed great turbulence due to various factors like Fed(US reserve bank) tapering its asset purchase program and starting to reduce the interest rates, Chinese economy slowing down , commodity melt down , oil prices dropping drastically to $35 level, devaluation of currencies of emerging markets , leading to FIIs pulling money from emerging markets like India. Had it not been for domestic investors who ploughed in record $15 Billion in Indian markets in 2015 , the market could have dropped much more.
Pl refer to my blog (dated 6th January 2015) where I had mentioned my top 15 stock picks for 2015(model portfolio 2015).My model portfolio showed a drop of 2% versus 5% drop of Sensex gains(till 1st January 2016). So it beat the Sensex performance marginally .The 3 top gainers were Bajaj Finance(74%), Torrent pharma(29%),Aurobindo pharma(48%), Dewan housing (17%). The top disappointments were Kaveri seeds(-53%), NMDC(-38%). REC(-33%) and BOB(-30%) and Apollo tyres(-30 %) .Pl refer to my 2015 portfolio tracker on the Right hand side of the blog to get the details. My actual 2015 portfolio (with some changes along the year like buying new stocks like India Bull housing finance, Axis bank etc and buying more of strong stocks and less of weaker ones like Kaveri , NMDC and BOB.) went up by 2-3% while investing in safe and blue chip stocks.
Lets see how my 2014 January model portfolio and 2013 January model portfolio performed in 2015, as per the portfolio tracker on the blog page today- 4th January 2016 (Viewed on the right of the blog page) . The 2014 January portfolio had gained 45%(from Jan 2014 till today)versus 23% of Sensex gains after Jan 2014(almost double the Sensex gains) , hence beat the Sensex with a good margin(alpha). The 2013 January portfolio had gained 67%(from Jan 2013 till today)versus 35% of Sensex gains after Jan 2013, hence beating the Sensex with a good margin(alpha). Pl refer to the portfolio trackers for 2014 and 2013 on the right hand side of the blog to get the details..

I would not dare to venture into the short term precise Sensex forecast as markets are very unpredictable in short term. This year , Global markets might be as volatile as 2015 , especially the first half of the year due to factors like Chinese economy slowdown leading to Chinese market crash, commodity meltdown , Fed increasing the interest rate further , rupee devaluation etc. These global factors will definitely have an impact on Indian markets. Domestic factors like ability of Indian government to pass certain key legislations like GST, its execution track record on reforms and key initiatives like Make in India and Digital India, restart of investment cycle and corporate earnings pickup will have an impact on the market levels. Government Infra spending on roads, railways, ports, defense etc and Budget for 2016-2017 will also play a significant impact . My hunch is that 2016 would see a better market performance due to delayed green shoots we can see in the Indian economy like controlled inflation(@5%) , better fiscal and current deficit, passenger car industry(barometer of consumption) showing a growth of 11% in December 2015, FDI (Foreign direct investment) showing a growth of 35-40% in last 15-18 months , especially after Make in India campaign and government gearing to show more reforms and execution after taking some hammering over its execution and reforms records. Besides FIIs would eventually come back to India after pulling back in 2015 as they don't have too many stable and growing economies in the world.
I would like to repeat that India economy and the market have already started a strong and long term structural bull market in 2014(I had predicted the same in my multiple blogs in 2012 and 2013). There could be small and temporary corrections or fall in the market(like we had in 2nd half of 2015 when market came down from 30000 to 26000) but the long term trends should be a very positive one for many many years. As far as my long term Sensex prediction is concerned, I am predicting Indian market(Sensex) doubling up every 4 years for next 15-16 years which means Sensex multiplying 16 times in 16 years (reaching about 4,00,000 by end of 2030). This means that you can multiply your wealth 16 times in 16 years just by investing in Sensex EFT or index funds . If you do a bit of good stock picking , you can beat this rate and multiply your wealth by 20-30 times by 2030 . This kind of long term wealth creation opportunities can happen only in rare asset classes (like Indian blue chip equities ) in the world. The economic and investment cycles have bottomed and will show a sustained long term positive trend from now. The macro variables have improved a lot with CPI inflation at <5% , Fiscal and Current account deficits under good control, stable government showing positive signs of reforms, stable currency etc .
In summary , the macroeconomic and global factors are uncertain and cloudy which could be creating further volatility . Hence 2016 is going to be a stock picker market and not general market where you can bet on Index and certain sectors in general .Hence the need to have a disciplined bottoms-up approach to research and pick the right business –quality businesses run by quality management with strong balance sheets, earning decent return of capital/ equity(ROE) and good long term growth outlook. As per my tradition in last few years, I am publishing my top 15 stock picks for 2016(model portfolio 2016) in which I am investing now .

Police enter Barcelona's stadium in search operation
Associated PressMar 1, 2021, 7:50 AM EST
BARCELONA, Spain — Spanish police entered Barcelona's stadium and detained some people on Monday in a search and seize operation related to an investigation into club officials.
Police said detentions were made but did not say who or how many people were taken into custody.
The club said authorities were at the team's headquarters but did not provide any more detail.

The operation was related to last year's "Barcagate," in which club officials were accused of launching a smear campaign against current and former players who were critical of the club and then-president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Barcelona had denied accusations that it hired – and overpaid – a company to make negative comments about its own players and opponents on social media in order to boost the image of senior club officials.
[ MORE: La Liga scores, schedule ]
The company was accused of using fake social media accounts to discredit opposition figures when they expressed views that went against the club. Some of the figures supposedly included players such Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique, as well as former coach Pep Guardiola.
The club later released an independent audit report showing that there was no wrongdoing.
Bartomeu and his board of directors resigned last year amid fallout from the controversy surrounding Lionel Messi. The club has been mired in political turmoil and debt prompted by the coronavirus pandemic.
The operation comes less than a week before presidential elections are to be held at the club.

On Wednesday, the three-day trade negotiations between Beijing and Washington, which the Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced had strengthened mutual understanding, laid a foundation for addressing the concerns of both sides, and agreed to keep "close contact" on a continuous basis.
Britain's Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt said on Friday there was another possibility of emerging on Britain's stalled exit negotiations from the European Union, which is "not Britain's exit."
Speaking of paralysis in Brexit negotiations that could lead to a result the government was forced to completely abolish Article 50 and abolish Brexit. However, Hunt stressed that the UK government would not achieve the results of the 2016 referendum would be a "fundamental breach of trust" and would erode the country's reputation abroad.
The UK's top diplomat said there were not many alternative forms of options available and stressed that it was "absolutely unacceptable" that the government would lose a meaningful vote next week on the withdrawal agreement. Hunt went on to say that the deal is still possible with the right guarantees on the temporary nature of the Irish support clause.

Debossing or blind debossing is and will continue to be the undisputed favourite among the logo debossings. It is charmingly unobtrusive, of high-quality and pleasant to the touch. Sometimes less is just exactly the right thing. Important is, above all, the production with the best tools; high-quality brass debossing stamps are created for every debossing.
A colour debossing functions in a similar way to a blind debossing. The only difference: between the debossing stamp and the book there is a thin coloured foil that is transferred to the cover. Doodle works together with the leading manufacturers of debossing foils that offer a rich choice colours.
Metallic debossing is also called hot foil embossing, as with this variation the heated debossing stamp is pressed on a metallic foil that becomes loose through the heat and is transferred onto the book cover. The motif lies, as with all debossings, deeper and forms a beautiful relief and also has a perfect metallic shine.
Not only the cover but even the edges of the book block can become customised according to your brand colour– for an all-over 360 degree design.
Not only the cover but even the edges of the book block can become customised according to your individual book concept or brand colours – for an all-over 360 degree design.
A good alternative to stamping is the laser cut – a digitally controlled cutting technique. Compared to stamping, the laser cut is able to realise considerably more delicate motifs, stencil lettering or even grid images. But even more complex, large surface motifs can be cut out of paper or thin cardboard. This type of cover becomes exciting through the interaction of the underlying end leaves that can be printed in colour over a full-surface or with a motif. Good to know: with every additional cut, the stability of the cover decreases. Traces of powder that occur when lasering can be prevented or can be applied deliberately as an effect.

Custom-made belly bands also have the wonderful possibility of including additional brand-related information that you want to have an immediate impact with.


Whether we're living on a very small amount each week or have millions in the bank, God's ways of using money are the same for us all.
Seek first my Kingdom and my righteousness and everything you need will be provided for you.
Following Jesus means giving everything we are and have to Him. This will look very different for each of us. Seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness means prioritising His agenda and trusting Him. George Muller was an ordinary man who believed this and tried it in Bristol in the 1830s. God led him to build homes for orphans. As he did as God led him he received £1.5 million over the years to pay for the building of these homes and for all of the running costs each year. He simply prayed and never asked anyone for a penny. He looked after over 10,000 orphans in his lifetime. He lived the verse above and saw it work. What an adventure! He was no-one special. All followers of Jesus are to put His agenda first, trust Him with their money and see wonderful things as heaven comes on earth.
This may not look all that dramatic each day but over a lifetime our small acts of faith can have a big impact and there will probably be some significant stories along the way too.
So, we put Jesus first with our money and trust Him. Two other things we do with our money are Tithe and Give and we'll explain these next.
In the Old Testament God told the people of Israel to set aside 10% of their income to pay for the running of the temple and those who worked there. God said he would provide abundantly for everyone if they 'tithed' in this way.
We no longer have a temple as Israel did. God now lives inside us, His followers, instead. Tithing is not commanded as explicitly in the New Testament as it is in the Old. We do though continue the practice of giving 10% of our income to pay for the running of the church and to provide an income for those who train and equip the church as their full-time occupation (pastors and staff). Many Christians can tell of the blessings they've received as they've tithed.
Esther, a member of Hope, went to Bible College and was in debt. She realised that God guides us in how to use our money and began to ask Him to help her to manage her finances. She began to tithe. Shortly after doing this someone came up to her and gave her a cheque that was equal to her debt saying that God had told them to give it to her. Esther has continued to tithe and ask God how to use her finances. There have been times when money has been scarcer and times when it's been more plentiful but He has always provided for her as she's trusted Him and lived by His principles for using her money.
Generosity is encouraged in the bible, especially to the poor. Jesus treats gifts to those in need as if they are gifts directly to Him.
Again, generous giving is part of following Jesus. We give from what we have (not from what we don't have!) as a joy, as an act of worship, out of love and compassion, and because we know Jesus will look after us and provide for us.
George Muller started being generous and carried on for his whole life. He was never able to 'out give' God. A life that is fully given to Jesus, listens to His leading and is obedient to it is very safe and very fruitful. It's great fun too!
"Daring to Live on the Edge" is a book by Loren Cunningham ,the founder of YWAM who has lived this his whole life and again, has seen God do wonderful things. This book is for people who have lots of money and for people who don't have much. The adventure of faith is open to all.
Equivalent to approximately £86 million in today's money.
Jesus said that the Pharisees should continue in their tithing (Luke 11.42) and we see the church setting aside money from their income in 1 Corinthians 16.2.

And this, my friends, is where we part ways. If you've been dramming your way alongside with your own advent calendar you'll likely have some idea of what I mean when I say that I'm actually a little sad not to have a new bottle to open tomorrow. That's ok. It's been a fun ride. I think we'll finish off this series with a bit of a recap and an overall score for the calendar. Watch for that in the next couple days. In the meantime…let's check out our final dram from behind door number 25. A little something special for Christmas day.
This is a 33 year old blended malt called "The Samaroli". Blended malt meaning, of course, that this is a blend composed of only single malts, no grains in the mix to water down the character. As I'm writing this (Christmas eve, 2014) I have no idea what casks have gone into this particular expression. You may recall that Samaroli has another nifty blended malt called Evolution that we looked at a while back. That whisky was built from some pretty spectacular casks from days gone by. Seeing as Samaroli have declared 33 years to be the youngest cask in this vatting, I can only imagine that this one also contains some stunners from eons ago.
Either way…this is a beautiful whisky. Rich and seductive. A perfect conclusion to a wonderful journey. Well done, Secret Spirits.
Nose: Oh wow…fantastic nose. Good nougat with fruit. Dunnage. Orange. Some cherry and toffee. Chewing gum, fruit candies and the sweetest melange of spices. Lots of fruits, but more fruit salad than overtly tropical. A lovely soft almond note. Did I mention fruits?
Palate: Sweet, syrupy fruits and a touch of licorice. Orange and citrus pith. Slight waxy with a nutty background. Oak and grain are clear and clean as individual notes. Surprisingly mouthcoating for a rather anemic 43% abv. Dries out into a paper-like note.
Thoughts: Reminds of a lovely old Bruichladdich I've tried. Slightly better nose than palate (especially at the back end), but overall a very special whisky. The nose here is probably the best in the calendar.
Ok. Not gonna lie. I'm drinking ahead with my advent calendar. I have to in order to ensure I can get these updates posted daily. At this point I am through the first ten whiskies, and man…I gotta say…Samaroli are absolutely knocking my socks off. These folks obviously have some killer casks at their disposal. I simply cannot wait to get my hands on more of their releases.
With that out of my system, let's dive in and try the wee bottle from behind door number three: a 21 year old malt called "Samaroli Spey".
As I'm not doing any research on these whiskies while drinking my way through (it's more fun just to simply enjoy the dram and publish some very raw notes), I had no clue which Speyside distillery this malt was from until I started pulling together this post over my morning coffee. While copying the link to Jonathan's review (see below) I noticed that he referred to this "Samaroli Spey" as a Cragganmore. Ok. Fun stuff. Cragganmore is a Diageo holding, and not a distillery that has a particularly broad range of expressions on the market (primarily just a 12 y.o. and Distiller's Edition…at least locally, that is). I have tried a couple of other Cragganmore indies, and found 'em to be anything from 'better than average' to 'very good'. Having said that, let's see what Samaroli can do with this typically rather tame spirit.
Nose: Very soft. Very nice. Honey and nougat. Sugar cookies. A little bit of white chocolate. Spicy bourbon notes. Grapefruit and orange. Pie crust. Sponge cake. All sorts of white or green fruits and nearly any 'light' and 'soft' dessert you can imagine.
Palate: Wow. Stunning delivery. Just the 'woosh' of oily loveliness at first. Coats everything. It's after that the flavours all expand outwards. Flan. Green grapes. More of those bourbon spices and some wet wood notes. Cinnamon. Apple. Fruit skins. Not quite as awe-inspiring as the nose, but still delish.
Thoughts: This whisky came from a very gentle barrel. I sort of wonder what would have happened with a few more years in wood? Either way…already a great whisky.

For over twenty years Dr. Gary Cohan has kept me in tip-top shape. He practices the kind of medicine that is deigned for long term well being.
Dr. Cohan is one of the most knowledgeable and up to date physicians I have ever known. While I have modest means and health insurance, I choose to spend the extra money to be seen by MY CHOICE of doctor.
The most thorough doctor I've ever encountered. His annual physical is time well spent in reviewing lab work, x-rays, EKGs and proper strategies for a healthy lifestyle. The hour or more he spends with me is greatly appreciated.


"I'm a little bit obsessed with Mabel," confessed Alice Murphy, without a shadow of shame.
In her capacity as PR manager at the John and Mabel Ringling Museum of Art, she was guiding me across the sprawling Ringling grounds to the mansion on the bay and giving me an impromptu tour as we went.
If one must be obsessed with a character like Mabel, these grounds — bequeathed to Sarasota by the Ringlings — are the only place to be. They are as close to one can get to the quiet, media-shy wife of a circus baron who oversaw the construction and decoration of Ca' d'Zan.
Every reference book on Ca' d'Zan — House of John — remarks that it truly is the House of Mabel, as she was present throughout the building, oversaw the mixing of colours and ensured that not one tile or nymph was out of place. But of course she named it Ca' d'Zan because written between the lines of each of those references is how very much she loved her husband, who showed her the world and gave her the means and freedom to build a palace.
We do not know how Mabel and John met, though she might have been a dancer or other sort of performer in the circus he ran with his four brothers. We do know that they married when she was 30 and he was nine years older, and that they spent most of their time travelling with the circus or on their own, and that she had a special place in her heart for Venice.
They spent only three months of each year in Sarasota, but were pillars of the community. The real-estate baron side of John dreamed of turning the city into a resort paradise, and Ca' d'Zan overlooked his lands across the bay.
While the grounds are demure and park-like, the Dwight James Baum-designed mansion is exactly what one expects of a circus family. It rises several stories in tones of copper and gold, with tiles as rich as sky and water. Inside are chandeliers and murals, and technologies at the cutting edge of the mid-1920s. It is rich and on the edge of gaudy.
Shy Mabel threw grand parties in and around the 57-room home and on their boat moored just outside the breakfast-room doors. She filled the palace with treasures from auctions, and with quirky design elements, like the sketched punctuation on her bedroom ceiling and the delicately painted flowers in her bathroom cabinet.
"There is Mabel's rose garden," Alice says, nodding to our left. It is grand, befitting the first president of Sarasota's garden club.
Mabel died in 1929 of complications from Addison's disease and diabetes. John engaged in a short-lived marriage sometime after, but his heart wasn't in it. It is said he never recovered from losing the beautiful Mabel; he died in 1936 at age 70.


Canadian software developer BlackBerry and American chip manufacturer Qualcomm are set to work together to build technology for the next-generation of connected vehicles.
Qualcomm is set to provide its hardware tech to be used in collaboration with BlackBerry's software efforts in order to create virtual cockpit controllers, cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X- technology, as well as digital instrument clusters and infotainment systems.
"As innovation in the automotive industry accelerates, it becomes necessary for industry leaders to work together to deliver leading-edge technology platforms that help to make vehicles safer, more connected and increasingly autonomous," said Patrick Little, senior vice president and general manager of automotive at Qualcomm, in a December 7th, 2017 media release.
BlackBerry first unveiled its connected car efforts in January 2017, during the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
The software, known as BlackBerry QNX, is designed for both connected and autonomous vehicles. The software not only improves vehicle safety, but also acts as a kind of infotainment system for the vehicle as well.
A vehicle equipped with BlackBerry QNX hit the streets in Ottawa for the first time in October 2017.
The vehicle, a Lincoln MKZ, was converted into a fully autonomous vehicle thanks in part to the presence of QNX.
