The highly anticipated Homecoming Carnival, supporting charity Just for J, provides food and entertainment to campus on Fri., Nov. 9.
The Just for J charity helps pay for the treatment of patients affected by Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and others in need of neonatal care at Herman Memorial. The foundation was founded to assist 4-year-old Jacqueline Dyer with her treatment costs and allow her to make her bucket list a reality.
The carnival is organized and run by Student Council. Their Student Council's goal is to raise $30 thousand to support Just for J. Each participating organization has the option to either donate all their proceeds to Just for J or use the Homecoming Carnival as one of their three fundraisers.
For many, the carnival is the highlight of Homecoming Week. Classes are shorter Friday to give students more time to explore the attractions during lunch. Freshmen are especially eager to attend the carnival as the hype around it grows.
The Homecoming Carnival gives many groups an opportunity to perform. The Oak Break Krew will show off their hip-hop moves on a checkerboard mat in the center of the commons.
"I love watching the Oak Break Krew perform," Christensen said.
In addition, the Jazz Band plays tunes for the carnival audience outside the auditorium. The musicians have been working on their music for the whole year.
One particularly anticipated aspect of the Homecoming Carnival are the booths themselves, which sell either food or entertainment. Street corn, pizza, and Chick-fil-a are historically best sellers. Some stands offer video games, ring toss, or temporary henna tattoos. Booths are accepting pre-bought tickets instead of money. Each ticket is one dollar and can be bought during lunches or at the carnival on Friday.
Here is a list of participating organizations and what they are selling.


Each smile is a moment of truth in beauty, a free expression of the desire to embrace the joy of life. As a dentist, I believe it is imperative to consider not only the smile, but the person the smile belongs to. Each smile transformation must be based on things deeper than what can merely be seen by the human eye. It is the personality of each patient that must shine through to reveal the truth in what that smile holds.
The field of dentistry has changed, and through the practice of responsible aesthetic dentistry, the perceptions about the value of dental care have changed, too. The treatments we now offer are based not only on optimal health, but on natural looking results and a broad spectrum of well-being. We can create both aesthetically pleasing results and rejuvenate the health and spirits of our patients with the integrity bestowed upon us as health professionals. We invite you to explore your options, ask about the possibilities, and enjoy benefits a new smile can grant.
There are many things that we believe speak to our high level of dental care excellence. It is found in the long-term health solutions we offer patients. We strive to make it evident in our thorough restoration planning and health examination and in our advanced artistry and care. It is seen in the individual, respectful, and kind manner in which we treat each person we meet. We hope you will notice it as you walk in the door, are greeted by our friendly team, and escorted through a pleasant experience designed to exceed your expectations.
Achieving a long lasting, health enhancing, and confidence-boosting result requires a combination of state-of-the-art materials and techniques, artistic skill, and comprehensive planning. We provide treatments that help patients realize their smile goals and dreams by enhancing health, function, and beauty through complete smile rehabilitation. We respect our patients' desires and seek to deliver service that is as non-invasive as possible while maintaining its comprehensive nature.
Every day, we are reminded of the need perpetuate the process of learning and exploration in order to delve deeper into the spirit of aesthetic dentistry and combine our passion for art and science. With dedication to this ideal, we strive to create a smile for you, our patient, that resonates with true beauty.

The haughty lord of the mansion happened to be at an open window, and, hearing the supplicant's petition, called out to him, "Gae to bell! you shall na come in here.". " To hell!" said the poor man, "I need da go there; I have just come from that!" "Ay," said the chief,"what's doing there?" " my lord, they are playing the same game there as here: they are taking in the rich, and holding out the poor." This smart reply cost the poor man his life; the tyrant of the castle caused him to be tortured to death.
Stilton Cheese.--Although Leicestershire has acquired no national fame, like Cheshire and Gloucestershire, for the excellence of its cheese, it stands, nevertheless, both as respects its superior quality and high price, the first in the kingdom--perhaps in the world. Many of its best dairies invariably fetch equal prices with the higher qualities of those districts, This only puts it on an equality. But it is in this county that the true English parmesan, called Stilton cheese, was first made, and continues to be a standard article of production. This far-famed delicacy is to be found at the tables of the highest ranks ; and, when of the best quality and in the highest state of perfection, independent of its exquisite relish, it probably contains the greatest concentration of nutri. ment of any artificial preparation of food. The secret of its make was for some time confined to the family of the original inventors, who were under an engage. ment to sell all they could make to the famous Cooper Thornhill, of Stilton; and, being thus to be obtained of him only, it received the appellation of Stilton cheese, when it ought to have been named Withcote cheese, being first made in that small village, on the eastern side of the couuty bordering upon Rutlandshire, and about thirty miles from Stilton.-Curtis's Topographical History of Leicestershire.
Marking Ink.-Marking ink may be made of the following ingredients-Sulphur of manganese, 1 oz. ; distilled water, 1 oz.; powdered sugar, 2 oz.; lamp black, 1 drm. Those substances are to be blended into a paste. It may be used as printer's ink. When dry, the mark is to be washed in a solution of canstic, or pure potash ; and, after being again dried, the part is washed in plaip water.
Island of Bornev.-A Mr. Dalton has published, in the Singapore Chronicle, a portion of his journal of a tour up the Coti river, on the east coast of Borneo, six hundred miles from its fall into the sea. Major Mullen and his party were murdered here, and no other European is known to have penetrated thus far. The sultan of Coti, who was at Marpow, sent for Mr. Dalton, and, much against the wish of his Bugis friends at Tongarron, the capital of Coti, he placed himself ander the guidance and protection of Saib Abdullah, the Bandarre, and proceeded to Marpow, in company with him. His description of the journey opens new and beautiful scenes, in a country hitherto unkoown, and shut to European eyes. At Marpow, he made a fictitious but excusable contract with the rajah, to supply him with money and goods from Singapore, by which alone he saved his life, and obtained permission to leave the country.
Legend of St. George and the Dragon.-Gibbon says, that St. George was no other than the Bishop of Cap. padocia, a personage of very unecclesiastical habits, and expresses some degree of surprise that such a person should ever have been sanctitied in the calendar. But the whole story of this deliverance of the princess of Egypt, is an allegory of the sufferings of the church, which is typified as the daughter of Egypt, driven into the wilderness, and exposed to destruction by the dragon, the ancient emblem over all the East, of imperial power. The Bishop of Cappadocia manfully withstood the attempts of the emperor, and ultimately succeeded in procuring an im. perial recognition of the church in Egypt. We have adverted to this, merely to show the devices in which the legends of the church were sometimes embodied; and the illuminated missales, even the mass-books, in the early stages of printing, abundantly prove and illustrate the opinions expressed.-Note to Gall's Life of Byron.
Extraordinary Potato Root.-A single root of potatoes was, a short time since, dug up in the ground occupied by Mr. Richard Wilson, Leyland Moss, to which were attached no fewer than two hundred and sixty potatoes! Large roots, as well as large crops, of this vegetable, have this year been common in that district; but the above exceeds any to which our attention has yet been called.
Cost Price of a Peer-We understand that the fees at the Herald's Office, and other necessary expences attending the creation of a new peer, amount to 6001.
Goods and Chattels.-The following is copied from the Antigua Weekly Register of June 7_" For sale, by John Page, on accommodation terms, a rich set of pearls, &c. Also a good family horse, and substantial gig and harness. On hand, various articles of furniture, glass and crockery ware, saddle and draught horses, gigs, pegroes, &c."--First pearls, next furni. ture, then horses and gigs, and, finally, human beings, among the numerous et ceteras that scarcely deserve naming! Take another specimen :-"Kingston, July 13, 1831. Wanted, old copper, which will be purchased in small quantities, or otherwise. And, for sale, a young negro man, an excellent baker and cook; and his mother, an excellent washerwoman. They will be sold separately or together.-N.B. A trial will be given, if required."
Adulteration of Wines.-Wines are adulterated with bitter almonds, or leaves of cherry laurel, in order to impart to them a nutty flavour with sweet-briar, orrice-root, clary and eherry-laurel water, and elder. flowers, to give a high flavour; with alum, to render young and meagre wines bright; with cake of pressed elderberries and bilberries, to render faint-coloured port pale; with red sumach, to colour white wines red; with oak sawdust, or sloes, or husks of filberts, to give astringency to unripe wines; with tincture of raisin-seeds, to flavour factitious port ; and with a variety of spices, to redder wine pungent.-From a chapter on "Adulterations of Alimentary Matter," in Dr. Ryan's Manual of Medical Jurisprudence.
Test of Coffee.-Persons desirous of knowing whether coffee is pure, or whether succory has been mixed with it, will find the following an infallible test :--"Let a small glass vessel be filled with cold water, and a pinch of the coffee thrown into it. If the water remain transparent, and be not in the slightest degree discoloured, the coffee is pure; but should the liquid become tinged with red, and red particles fall to the bottom, as in the case of sugar, when being dissolved in water, it is a sure proof that the coffee has been adulterated with succory,"-Journal des Connaissances Usuelles.
Capture of a Slave Ship.-The British man-of-war, Druíd, lately captured, near Bahia, a slave schooner, with tifty-eight slaves. They had nearly finished searching her, when by chance an officer put his sword into the bung-hole of one of the water tubs, and was answered by a cry from within. The cask was opened, and out crept three Coast of Mina blacks. — Globe,
Arrival of Captured Slares at Sierra Leone .-'The Portuguese and Spaniards impress on the minds of the slaves, that the English are anxious to destroy them; in consequence of which, the poor creatures are, just after capture, much dejected; but, as they are generally immediately released from their con. finement, and every possihle attention paid to them, they soon become cheerful, and, although totally unacquainted with one another's language, shortly become familiarized by signs or motions; and, when anchored in Freetown harbour, awaiting their adjudication, their countrymen located in the colony visit them; and, from being acquainted with their approaching delivery, they indulge in merriment and pleasure. Should there be any disease among the slaves on board the ships, they are landed as soon as the necessary legal forms are gone through. Many of these poor creatures arrive in such a deplorable state, from want and disease, that it is difficult to preserve their lives. It is really shocking to humanity, to see a cargo of children arrive, sometimes mere skeletons, in a complete state of exhaustion. The small pox and measles often break out on board the slave vessels, as well as the ophthalmia. Slaves are purchased from the natives, on an average, for about four pounds each, and are paid for in gunpowder, arms, tobacco, ardent spirits, &c. Those taken in the latitude of Sierra Leone, might reach Fernandez Po in fifteen or twenty days.- Major Ricketts.
Singular Advancements in Life.-The Roman emperor, C. Julius Æmilianus, was a Moorish slave. Aurelian, the emperor of kome, was the son of a poor peasant. Pope Alexander the Fifth was a common beggar in the Isle of Candia. Pope Adrian the Fourth was a poor English monk.
Animal Reduction.-The jockeys of Newmarket, and other race-courses, waste themselves, to be reduced to the standard of weight prescribed : this is effected by being half.buried in a dung-heap! The injury inflicted on the constitution is terrible; it is an act of suicide : they may, indeed, not know what they are doing, but their masters ought to know better.
The Solitary Mariner.-A bottle has been picked up on the coast of Jutland, containing a letter, in Danish, to the following effect :--." Lost, the whole of the crew, carried off by cholera, except myself, Nicholas Pederson, second midshipman of the ship Henrietta Dorothea, of Borgen, (Norway,) the 7th of August, 1831."

Here are tomorrow's headlines from the South Bend Tribune. Has the e-mail about a woman claiming her car was disabled by sugar water in Mishawaka's Target parking lot reached your inbox yet? The e-mail has been flooding inboxes throughout the area. But with the help of Mishawaka police and an informative Web site, the account has been dispelled as an urban legend. Look for more details surrounding the myth, and why you shouldn't believe it. Roseland Town Council member Ted Penn has scheduled a town meeting tonight to discuss problems in the town, and how to possibly get the Snyders and Clerk-Treasurer Cheryl Gridley to resign. We'll have more about the outcome of that meeting tomorrow. So far, Mishawaka has spent a little more than $4.6 million buying property for the Main Street underpass. The underpass is slated to be finished by November 2008. We'll have details about the progress of those acquisitions. And in Sports, we'll have coverage of the Notre Dame men's basketball Big East semifinals as they take on Georgetown tonight. Notre Dame hockey is at home tonight in the CCHA Tournament. Plus, Jeff Carroll and Jason Kelly will have Big Ten coverage from Chicago. For the South Bend Tribune, I'm Yonika Willis.

Headless body found in fish tank during search of missing man's home
Posted 7:34 pm, August 28, 2018, by Katie DeLong
SAN FRANCISCO – Authorities searching for a missing 65-year-old man found human remains inside a fish tank in his San Francisco home, police announced Tuesday.
A relative of Brian Egg called authorities and reported him missing on Aug. 7, sparking the initial investigation, according to a San Francisco Police Department news release.
About a week later, on Aug. 15, homicide investigators went to Egg's residence in the 200 block of Clara Street, in the city's South of Market neighborhood.
When they searched inside, they discovered a human torso in a fish tank, according to Bay Area television station KNTV.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the remains are those of the missing man. They were also unable to immediately determine the gender because the body the body was already badly decomposed, according to KRON, another television station in the Bay Area.
Neighbor Scott Free told the San Francisco Chronicle he first suspected something was wrong back in June, when he stopped seeing Egg outside his home.
The following month, Free became suspicious after two strangers answered Egg's door, prompting him to contact police to perform a welfare check on his neighbor. Officers did visit the home, but were told by the two men that Egg was away on vacation, according to the newspaper.
On Aug. 14, Free again called police after he spotted a private crime-scene cleanup crew outside the home, the Chronicle reported.
Responding officers detained one individual at the scene and entered the home were they were met by "suspicious" odors, according to the release. They also found cleaning products, which they listed as evidence.
After a thorough search of the residence, police found the headless corpse in a large fish tank, according to KNTV.
Two men were taken into custody during the subsequent investigation, police said. They were identified as 39 year-old Lance Silva and 52 year-old Robert McCaffrey, both of San Francisco.
The suspects were each arrested on suspicion of homicide, fraud, theft, identity theft and elder abuse. They were booked into jail, but the San Francisco District Attorney's Office declined to file charges pending further investigation, the release stated.
Silva was transferred to a jail in Alameda County, however, where he is being held on an alleged probation violation.
An investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to call San Francisco police and leave a tip anonymously at 415-575-4444.

Q: Add dismiss control to session-flash() output in CakePHP In a CakePHP 1.2 app, I'm using
<?php $session->flash();?>

to output messages like "Record edited". It's working great.
However, I want to add a link called "Dismiss" that will fade out the message. I know how to construct the link, but I don't know how to insert into the output of the flass message.
The flash message wraps itself in a DIV tag. I want to insert my dismiss code into that div, but I don't know how.

A: Figured this out:
Create a new layout in your layouts folder:
layouts/message.ctp

In that layout, include the call to output the content:
<?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>

Then when you set the flash message, specify the layout to use:
$this->Session->setFlash('Your record has been created! Wicked!','message');

A: You want to use the setflash function.  If you pass setflash an empty string for $default it will not wrap your message in a div and just store it as is.  This way you can  display any markup you want or as Justin posted you can use another view page for your message so you don't mix your view and controllers.

A: You can achieve this with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#flashMessage").each(function() {
        $close = $("Close");
        $close.click(function () {
            $(this).parent().hide("slow");
        });
        $(this).append($close);
    });

});

You will need to pretty it up with a bit of CSS, but I'm sure you get the idea.

A: the default way to do is is to create a flash.ctp in your /app/views/layouts. This will override the default flash.ctp you can find in /cake/libs/view/layouts. So you don't need to use the additional param.
btw: this works for all CakePHP standard views and layouts.

New mothers in Adanchuli Rural Municipality deprived of state-announced incentives for two years
Under the government's 'Safe Motherhood Programme', new mothers and their newborns are provided free medical treatment, transportation allowance and cash incentives for antenatal checkups.

Postpartum mothers at Adanchuli Rural Municipality in Humla have not received the government's cash incentives in the last two years.
Hoijali Bumi, a local woman, said she has not received any cash even though she underwent a safe delivery at a local health institution.
"When we asked officials at the local health post about the incentive, they said they had not received any budget from the centre," Bumi said.
According to the data of the health post in Adanchuli, 115 new mothers—33 from the fiscal year 2016-17; 19 from the fiscal year 2017-18; and 63 from the fiscal year 2018-19—have not received allowances at the local unit.
There are 26 birthing centres, along with the District Hospital, in Humla. The government provides allowances to pregnant women who undergo safe delivery in health institutions. Women in the mountainous, hilly and the Tarai regions are entitled to Rs3,000, Rs2,000 and Rs1,000 respectively. Additionally, a cash bonus of Rs800 should be provided to mothers who complete all four antenatal checkups.
Anita Bumi, a local woman, said it has been a year since she gave birth, but she has yet to receive her allowances.
"I have been frequenting the health post for almost a year now, but I have not received the allowances," Anita said.
Prayoglal Jaishi, the in-charge of the health post in Adanchuli, said the institution is unable to distribute incentives due to a lack of budget.
"We have been demanding the government to release the budget for the programme, but it has yet to do so," said Jaishi.
Dal Fadera, chairman at Adanchuli Rural Municipality, said the lack of funds is putting the lives of new mothers and their newborns at risk.
"I have requested the provincial government to send the additional budget immediately," said Fadera.

Amid a war-torn 1942, a young white boy and an older black man find themselves stranded on a Caribbean island in the Indiana Repertory Theatre's (IRT) The Cay, on the Upperstage from January 28 through February 26.
In this story of opposites, The Cay follows a friendship that blossoms despite racial division as Phillip (played by Dalyn Stewart) and Timothy (played by David Alan Anderson) learn that without each other, neither will survive. Together, the duo brings Theodore Taylor's award-winning novel to life and share that despite age, upbringing or race, friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places.
Taking place on a set that brings to life a variety of circumstances and locations, the characters survive being stranded at sea, tossed amidst a hurricane and deserted on an island. Geoffrey Ehrendreich, IRT Properties Manager, believes thecomplexity and creativity of the set to be the best work of the season.
"My favorite theatre is when you have to use your imagination, and this production encourages just that," said director and IRT dramaturg, Richard J Roberts, revealing that the sound effects have been created using musical instruments and theprops, including two giant palm trees, have been fashioned from items one might find washed ashore after a shipwreck.
"This production asks the audience to look beyond the surface reality of stage objects and imagine a world of natural wonders, just as the characters must look beyond their personal differences and see the possibilities of friendship," said Roberts.
Celebrate the New Year, with new friendships found only in the IRT's The Cay. Learn more about this production by visiting irtlive.com.


If A is symmetric, then A = V*D*V' where the eigenvalue matrix D is diagonal and the eigenvector matrix V is orthogonal. I.e. A = V.times(D.times(V.transpose())) and V.times(V.transpose()) equals the identity matrix.
If A is not symmetric, then the eigenvalue matrix D is block diagonal with the real eigenvalues in 1-by-1 blocks and any complex eigenvalues, lambda + i*mu, in 2-by-2 blocks, [lambda, mu; -mu, lambda]. The columns of V represent the eigenvectors in the sense that A*V = V*D, i.e. A.times(V) equals V.times(D). The matrix V may be badly conditioned, or even singular, so the validity of the equation A = V*D*inverse(V) depends upon V.cond().
Check for symmetry, then construct the eigenvalue decomposition Structure to access D and V.

Ardent Studios and the pursuit of authenticity
The Memphis recording institution celebrates its 50th anniversary
Isaac Hayes, Big Star and The Replacements are just a few of the legendary acts to have passed through the doors of Ardent Studios. As the Memphis recording institution celebrates its 50th anniversary, David Davies discovers that a blend of old and new technology is helping to keep it relevant
Patrick Scholes – who, since 1979, has been involved with Ardent Studios variously as senior manager for technology, co-owner and, latterly, chairman – is reflecting on the qualities that continue to make the studios a stop-off for regional and international acts since they opened for business in their first incarnation 50 years ago.
"I think our strength has always been our ability to capture the authentic sound of a band in its rawest form then infuse it with the spaces and gear that were original to the craft," he says. "So there is a vintage aspect to it, but also the mix of digital and analogue that we can offer is a rare thing these days."
Business development director Jody Stephens' association with the studios is even more extensive. As drummer with the much-loved US power-pop band Big Star, he recorded at Ardent's first incarnation on National Street and, from November 1971 onwards, its current location on Madison Avenue. In the mid '80s – long after the dissolution of Big Star – Stephens returned to the studios as a full-time employee, helping to develop acts through Ardent's production wing.
"It really all goes back to John Fry," says Stephens of Ardent's founder and designer, who passed away in December 2014. "He had an amazing ear for music and he put together some really great sounding rooms. Even at the start Ardent was equipped with plenty of state-of-the-art gear. So his founding vision is still very much present."
Creativity flowing
Fry's repeatedly stated dual-passion for both music and technology saw him become one of the first in the region to acquire EMT plate reverbs and 24-track recording equipment. While Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul, Led Zeppelin's third album (mixing only), and immortal singles from the Staple Singers and Booker T and the MGs helped to distinguish the studios' first phase, Ardent undoubtedly entered a golden age after its relocation to Madison Avenue. At this time a two-studio complex, Ardent attracted an increasingly diverse roll-call of rock, blues and soul performers – among them Freddie King, Joe Cocker, Cheap Trick and ZZ Top – as the 1970s progressed.
Then there was Big Star, whose Ardent-recorded classic albums #1 Record and Third/Sister Lovers are now classic texts of alternative rock. As Stephens recalls of the band's early studio experiences, "we felt immediately comfortable at Ardent. John Fry gave us the keys to the studio and encouraged us to sharpen our engineering skills – which [band co-leader] Chris Bell and others did – and also let our creativity flow without the clock ticking. We were extremely fortunate to benefit from that kind of generosity."
There is no doubt that this generosity was to some extent repaid, particularly during the 1980s, when the evocative and emotional pop of Big Star drew an entire generation of bands keen to acquire some of the Ardent sound. Green On Red, The Replacements, the Georgia Satellites, the Gin Blossoms, Canada's Tragically Hip and the Afghan Whigs were among the many acts to pass through Ardent during what might be regarded as its second golden age.
The 1990s were no less successful, with a burgeoning interest in the contemporary Christian music market (encouraged by its own label) complemented by ongoing popularity among blues and country artists, including Robert Cray, Jeff Healy, Albert Collins, BB King, Tanya Tucker and Steve Earle. Further diversification followed in the 2000s and 2010s with hip-hop and film soundtrack projects, while Cat Power, Bob Dylan, the Raconteurs and the resurgent Big Star confirmed Ardent's enduring appeal to major international acts.
A look at the studios' specification in 2016 confirms that Ardent has indeed remained true to Fry's desire to blend the best of old and new. At 25ft x 40ft [7.5m x 12m], Studio A is Ardent's premiere tracking room and is today based around a Neve VR60 60×48 console and Pro Tools 10.3.1 HD3 Accel system – although a Studer A827 24-track recorder is also available for those wishing to record to tape. The other key tracking room, Studio C, was overhauled in 2011 under the watchful eye of technical director Chris Jackson and now features an SSL Duality SE 48 channel console.
Once again, the latest Pro Tools technology is complemented by a vintage Studer recorder, and Stephens confirms that a significant number of artists are keen to move smoothly between analogue and digital domains. "Of course it is economical to stay on Pro Tools, but we do have artists who want to track to 24-, 16- or even 8-track, and then jump onto Pro Tools – or conversely track in Pro Tools and then jump over to tape to touch analogue. Then there are quite a few who will record everything in Pro Tools and then mix to half-inch or quarter-inch tape."
Rounding out the Ardent complex is Studio B – based around a Solid State Logic 6056 E console with G computer and primarily geared towards overdubs and mixing – and an Audio Production Suite, opened in late 2012 and conceived as a "more affordable alternative to our full production studios".
A recent project with Chicago-based soul star Zeshan Bagewadi neatly illustrates Ardent's continuing ability to cover a wide range of musical bases. Resident producer/engineer Adam Hill recalls that Zeshan's session was "a new and exciting adventure, marrying traditional Indian instruments and vocal techniques with the classic Memphis sounds and feel of the Goldwax, Hi and Stax labels. Producer/arranger Lester Snell is a genius, and I learn something new from him every time I work with him. The rhythm section consisted of top-notch local legends Steve Potts, Dave Smith, Michael Toles and Lester. All basic tracks went down live to two-inch tape, and were eventually transferred to Pro Tools for editing and overdubs. The deep grooves supporting Zeshan's harmonium, tamboura and vocals yielded some great-sounding tracks that had one-foot planted firmly in the Mississippi and the other in the Ganges!"
While many albums now have their roots in home or project studio recordings, Stephens believes that the current popularity of Ardent and selected other iconic studios can be ascribed to the fact that "people want to walk in the doors and be sure that the magic will happen. It's not like walking through someone's doors and not knowing whether you are there for dinner or to record! When you come into Ardent you feel a sense of purpose and energy pushing you forward."
"In the '80s and '90s you might have artists camping out here for weeks on end," adds Scholes, "so in a way I think things have almost gone back to a '60s feel, where local and international artists are coming in and spending a few days or sometimes just a few hours to experiment and do artist development-type work. So you have that kind of incubator feel for new talent as part of what we do… it's really exciting."

Goa has a unique history of institutions of local self government dating back to ancient times. Descendents of ancient settlers of the villages, called Gaunkars, organized themselves into "Communidades" or "Communities" which functioned as autonomous unit of village administration. The Government was vested in the assembly of elders of each clan or Vangor. Members of Communidades consisted of (i) Zoneiros(ii) Acsaocars (iii) Gaonkars. The primary activity of the Communidades was leasing out their commonly held agricultural land, orchards, ponds, through auction. The income was utilized to fund common services for the village like those of priests, barbers, construction and maintenance of markets, halls, etc. This village governance was allowed to exist alongside the Portuguese administrative machinery.
The second form of local Government prior to liberation in Goa were the Camara Municipals, introduced by the Portuguese, having their jurisdiction over both urban and rural areas of the entire taluka. They collected various taxes and received government grants, performed civil functions including the construction of building. Until a few years before liberation, these self-sustaining bodies were neither elective nor local. Their offices were reserved for 'Casados'.
It was only in 1959 that Juntas de Freguesias (rural self government bodies) were established by the Portuguese through the Portaria (Notification) No. 7575 of 23rd July, 1959, assigning them the responsibilities of repairs of village roads, drains, bridges, gutters, street lights, within their jurisdiction. This was the third self-governing unit that existed prior to the liberation of Goa. Thus prior to liberation, there were Panchayats in the villages but they were not codified and the people used to settle their grievances themselves rather approaching the Government authorities. There used to be Regular (village headman) in each village who was entrusted with some of the functions which are now exercised by the Village Panchayats.
GOA DAMAN & DIU VILLAGE PANCHAYAT REGULATION, 1962
Goa alongwith Daman & Diu was liberated on 19.12.1961 from Portuguese rule. After liberation, the President, of India promulgated the Goa Daman & Diu Village Panchayat Regulation, 1962 under Article-240 of the Constitution of India. The said Regulation provided for setting up of a single tier Panchayati Raj system in the Union Territory of Goa Daman & Diu. Thus, for the first time, the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) came into existence in the Union Territory of Goa, Daman & Diu in the year 1962. As per the said Regulation, one seat was reserved for women in every Panchayat. There were three types of Panchayats having 5, 7 and 9 members depending upon the population. The term of the Panchayat was for four years. The Panchayati Raj (PR) system was functioning very well since its inception and elections were held regularly in Goa. However, in most of the States in India, the PR system which started in 1959, had totally collapsed. There was no uniformity in the PR system throughout India Elections to PRIs were not held regularly and in some States elections were not held for more than 30 years. Therefore, steps were taken to amend the Constitution and for that purpose the Constitutional (73rd Amendment) Act was passed on 20th April, 1993, to lay a strong foundation for 'Democratic Decentralization' and pave the way for activating the planning process from the grassroots; a concept which has eluded the people ever since the beginning of the era of planned development.
THE GOA PANCHAYAT RAJ ORDINANCE 1994
In terms of Article 243-N of the Constitution of India, every State was required to amend the laws relating to PRIs within one year of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment. Therefore, to comply with the said mandatory provision of the Constitution and as the assembly was not in session, the State of Goa promulgating an Ordinance namely, The Goa Panchayat Raj Ordinance, 1994 on 20.04.1994. The Ordinance namely, The Goa Panchayat Raj Ordinance, 1994 on 20.04.1994. The Ordinance was converted into Bill, namely the Goa Panchayat Raj Bill, 1994 and the same was introduced in the Goa Legislative Assembly on 25.05.1994.
THE GOA PANCHAYAT RAJ ACT, 1994
The Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 was assented to by the Governor of Goa on 09.07.1994. The Act repealed the Ordinance of 1994 as well as the Regulation of 1962. Some of the provisions of the Act were brought into force w.e.f. 20.08.1994. However, Section 245 was given retrospective effect i.e. from 20.04.1994. The remaining provisions of the Act were brought into force w.e.f. 26.10.1995. Thus, the entire Act came into force from 26.10.1995.

This paper explores entrepreneurship in the context of complex social problems (often referred to as 'social' entrepreneurship). Most management research in this area studies the entrepreneurs; we explore the institutional conditions which frame the likelihood of entrepreneurial engagement. We name these conditions 'crescive' and, following A.O. Hirschman's studies on institutional conditions for development we identify two analytically different sets of conditions: those that can stir up actors' motivations to engage and those that can alter their decision making logic. Our exploration of crescive conditions yields a novel conceptual model for entrepreneurial engagement in the context of complex social problems, which we label 'crescive entrepreneurship' and place in a space between functionalist and institutional action.
