Happy Birthday Sachin. A Poem For You!
April 23, 2011 by Keyur Seta 28 Comments
Over the years, Sachin Tendulkar's huge number of fans, including me, have expressed their respect and gratitude towards him in every special manner on April 24 each year. Hence, I ran out of ideas to express my respect for him on his birthday. So, I decided to pen a poem for the God of cricket.
In the poem I have stated how fortunate we are to grow up along with Sachin's career. Here it goes:
Unki Karamaton Ne Kiya Jawan
Jab se paon sambhale humne zameen par,
Unhone paon jamaye khel ke maidan par,
Chalne lage hum duniya samajne,
Ve chalne lage apni takdeer banane,
Hue bade to museebaten badhi,
Unhe bhi tikaon ki badhaen nadi,
Bhagwan dilate humen museebaton se chhutkara,
Unhone tikaon ko balle se de mara

Apekshaon ke boj se jab hum thak jate,
Un par ladi sau karod apekshaon ko dekhte,
Ve jab dete apekshaon ko hathiyar mein badal,
Prerna lekar hum karte us par amal
Hue hum jawan unke vikas ke samantar,
Rahega is baat ka garv humen jeevanbhar,
Usi garv se dete hai aapko varshganth pe salam,
Vishvabhar mein ooncha rahen sadaiva aapka naam

Dum Maaro Dum Movie Review
Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, Prateik Babbar, Aditya Panscholi
Director: Rohan Sippy
Music: Pritam, R D Burman
Producers: Ramesh Sippy Entertainment, Fox Star Studios
Ratings: * * ½
Let's face it: there is a dearth of quality crime thrillers in Bollywood since very long. But with the arrival of Dum Maaro Dum and its impressive promos, it seemed that the vacancy will be filled. The film has an interesting story and is gripping most of the times only to mess up in the climax. Hence, the vacancy is still not filled.
In Goa, Lorry (Prateik) fails to get a scholarship at a US university but his girlfriend gets through easily. Lorry is eager to be with his girlfriend in the US but is way short of funds. So he agrees to deliver a drug consignment in the US in order to earn a thick sum in a short time. Lorry is forced by his friend Joki (Rana Daggubati) against walking on the dreaded path but to no avail. Long before that, Zoe (Bipasha) had unwillingly become a part of the drug mafia as she had agreed to deliver drugs in order to fulfill her dream of becoming an air-hostess.
Meanwhile, ACP Vishnu Kamath (Abhishek Bachchan) is given the task of uprooting drug mafia from Goa. Kamath comes face-to-face with a big name in the field of drugs – Lorsa Biscuita. However, Kamath doesn't have a proof against him. He soon gets to know that the man behind the whole scene is Michael Barbosa. But who is Barbosa? Nobody from the police force has seen him.
Director Rohan Sippy deserves praise for the way he has filmed the story. Sleek style, apt colour print, fast narration, jazzy camerawork, witty dialogues and a powerful background score make for an interesting viewing. However, it's Shridhar Raghvan's story and the screenplay (in the second half) that's not up to the mark.
The scenario is build up very well in the first half but the writing loses some grip in the second. Also the re-appearance of the characters' dark past wasn't needed. But those aren't the biggest problems. The biggest letdown is the climax where Abhishek's character is sidelined and it is not revealed how the mystery is solved! Even the suspense about Barbosa is far from satisfying.
Pritam's music is nothing much to talk about. The most important title track, a classic from R D Burman, is ripped apart in the remix by adding some ugliest of words possible. Even Deepika Padukone's forced hot avatar doesn't help it.
Abhishek Bachchan is having a dreadful run at the box-office but has been giving good performances. In DMD, he gives his best performance in a long time. He shows concrete toughness as an ACP and at the same time is wonderful in emotional scenes. Clearly an under-rated actor in today's times!
Rana Daggubati makes a confident debut. Although an actor like him deserves a meatier role, he manages well. Bipasha Basu achieves perfection playing a troubled character. Prateik Babbar shows maturity but his character just doesn't look like a 17-year old. It's a joke!
Aditya Panscholi is good as a villain and so is Govind Namdeo as Abhishek's assistant. Muzammil S. Qureshi, another debutant, does well and has a good sense of humour.
Overall, Dum Maaro Dum fails to make use of the opportunity of being a quality crime thriller. At the box-office, the film has a chance of earning well in the metros.

Taryanche Bait Movie Review
Director: Kiran Yadnyopavit
Cast: Sachin Khedekar, Ashwini Giri, Ishaan Tambe, Asmita Joglekar, Shubhangi Joshi
Music: Nandu Ghanekar
Producers: Friday Filmworks, Ekta Kapoor and Neeraj Pandey
Ratings: * * * ½
Ever seen a father urging God to make sure his son doesn't come first in the class? Such is the novelty in the tale of director Kiran Yadnyopavit's Taryanche Bait that it bewilders you but at the same time also moves you because of its hardcore simplicity.
This simple tale is about a simple man called Shreedhar Surve, working as a clerk in the gram panchayat unit of a village. Although he is not rich, he leads a satisfying life with wife Indira (Ashwini Giri), two kids – Omkar (Ishaan Tambe) and Meera (Asmita Joglekar) and his mother played by Shubhangi Joshi. Shreedhar's office duties compel him to visit Mumbai frequently.
For one such prolonged trip, he takes his wife and kids to the city. Over there, Omkar becomes adamant in staying in a five star hotel but, naturally, Shreedhar can't afford. After returning to their village, Omkar asks Shreedhar whether he will take him to the five star hotel if he tops the examination. As Shreedhar is sure Omkar can never top the exams, he agrees for it. This motivates Omkar to study hard to such an extent that he actually tops in the class, leaving Shreedhar in a pickle.
A well made simple film is always rich in story (Saurabh Bhave) and Taryanche Bait is no exception. Plus, the screenplay by Bhave, Kiran and Shailesh Dupare hooks you to the story right from the very first scene. All the small nuances of village life are taken care of beautifully. There are a number of sequences that will stay etched in your memory for years to come. Some of these include:
Shreedhar's interaction with the idol of Lord Ganesh.
Shreedhar promising Omkar to take him to a five star hotel in Mumbai.
An over-excited Omkar revealing to Shreedhar about him topping in the exams.
Shreedhar's struggle in fulfilling his promise.
Pre-climax and the climax.
Although the climax appears perfect and touching, it could have been framed in a different way. Nevertheless, it works well and is appealing.
The writing coupled with Kiran's direction makes the movie a well furnished product. He also makes the whole cast deliver top-notch performances. In fact, looking at the mature way in which Kiran has handled the subject, it is very difficult to believe that this is his debut film. After earning a name in the Marathi drama arena and as a film writer, he is sure to excel as a director as well.
The editing also deserves special mention for the tight length of the film (less than two hours).
Sudhir Palsane's artistic cinematography captures the village with perfection while Nandu Ghanekar's tuneful music and some simple yet powerful dialogues also add to the plus points.
Sachin Khedekar is one of the respected names in the Marathi film industry and he lives up to his image in this movie. After Mee Shivajiraje Bhosle Boltoy, he once again delivers a performance which deserves a standing ovation. The way he shows helplessness and tries everything possible to fulfill his promise shows the class of a genius. In my personal opinion, he is one of the finest actors India has ever produced.
Ishaan Tambe is wonderful in the role of an adamant kid while Ashwini Giri, Asmita Joglekar do well too. Other supporting actors Kishor Kadam, Jaywant Wadkar, Vinay Apte and Shashank Shende offer good support.
Overall, Taryanche Bait is one of the most touching and simplest films to have come in a long time. At the box-office, the film will surely earn good collections.

So Much Turmoil For Justice!
A wave of joy and relief went through the people of India when social worker Binayak Sen was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Friday April 15. This is a reason to rejoice as there had been lots of people protesting against the life imprisonment granted to him. But is this really a matter of pride for us?
First and the foremost, Sen should not have been arrested and worst, should not have been charged wrongly for sedition. The whole fallacy throws a lot of questions on our judiciary system and our so-called democracy. It took hundreds of social workers, NGOs and common people to come together in order to grant justice for Sen.
Just last week, the Jan Lokpal Bill got a green signal but only after the whole of India supported Anna Hazare and showed its protest against the government in all possible ways. And we still remember the kind of huge protests that were required to punish the culprits in the Jessica Lal murder case, which was about a murder that was witnessed by around 300 people.
And coming back to Sen, he has just received bail. I am wondering what kind of protest will be required to drag Sen fully out of the mess.
So the obvious question is – Will justice be done only when the whole of India madly protests against the culprits or the system? If the answer is yes, may God bless our system, which cannot give the basic right of justice on its own.

The war is not over, it's just begun…
I always wished I was born much before the 1980s so that I could have witnessed our great leaders fighting against the British for our country's independence. Not just witnessing, I could have even taken part in the battle. I always felt deprived of the actual feeling of fighting for the country. I knew I could never experience this.
However, an act of bravery by a 73 year old Anna Hazare, of fasting unto death for the passing of Jan Lokpal Bill, and the way it awakened the patriotic zeal in the whole of India gave me an experience of our freedom struggle. The stubborn way in which the senior citizen stood up against our villainous government and the subsequent support it received from people of all walks of life, made me experience the feeling I always longed for.
It also proves that all you need to fight is rock solid determination instead of a toned muscular body. Such was his determination that it shook the Congress government and gave them sleepless nights.
It was indeed a triumphant moment for the nation when the government accepted the demands of Hazare. Truly a victory for Hazare and the common man of India. However, I am a bit taken aback by the celebrations that took place in almost each and every part of India. The way jubilant supporters went all out on the streets celebrating made it look as if corruption is wiped out entirely from India.
We should not forget that the Jan Lokpal Bill is yet to be passed. Although Congress has assured about it, you just can't trust them at face value. We will have to make sure that the bill is actually passed before August 15, 2011. After that, even a bigger challenge awaits us – to see that the anti-corruption act is implemented and the corrupt leaders and politicians are awarded the strictest of punishments.
So right now, we have just won the first round and the actual war against the blood-sucking government has just begun. And if the people of India show the same determination and zeal they have shown in the last 6 days, the war will surely have fruitful results for us. I say surely because it will be fought by the common man, who can be deadlier than any weapon of mass destruction!

First Film Titled FALTU Released in 2005
Vashu Bhagnani's youth oriented film F.A.L.T.U starring Jackky Bhagnani and debutant Pooja Gupta and directed by first timer Remo D'Souza is making waves because of its unusual and faadoo title. However, hardly few people remember or are aware of the fact that this is not the first film with such a title. A film titled Faltu had released in 2005. Unfortunately, because of the arty subject and a lack of publicity, the movie just went unnoticed. But I still remember watching the promos of the 2005 film many number of times.
The 2005 film was Bengali filmmaker Anjan Das' first Hindi film and it starred Yash Pandit and Manjari Phadnis in the lead. Well-known Bengali actors Soumitra Chatterjee and Indrani Haldar were also a part of the cast. The film was based on well-known Bengali writer Syed Mustafa Siraj's novel Ranirghater Brittanto.
The story deals with a 20 year old boy called Faltu (Pandit) from the village of Ranirghat who is in love with Tuktuki (Phadnis). Faltu was born after a series of men raped a mentally retarded woman Suri Khepi (Haldar). A census order by the government forces Faltu to search his father. Little did Faltu know that the truth with shatter his as well as Tuktuki's life forever.
A look at the posters of both the movies:

Thank You Movie Review
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Irfan Khan, Bobby Deol, Suniel Shetty, Sonam Kapoor, Rimi Sen, Celine Jaitley
Director: Anees Bazmee
Producers: UTV Motion Pictures, Hari Om Productions
Expectations from Anees Bazmee's Thank You were limited because of the extra-marital affair theme which is done to death in Bollywood, promos which failed to create much excitement and lastly because memories of Bazmee's last flick No Problem, which was a dud has still not disappeared from audience's minds. And as expected, Thank You doesn't succeed in being a non-stop interesting entertainer although some well-written witty dialogues and Irfan Khan's lovable performance make it a watchable affair.
The central idea of the movie is based on just one premise – all men are dogs who can go any heights to cheat their wives. In this case, they are Raj Malhotra (Bobby Deol), Vikram (Irfan Khan) and Yogi (Suniel Shetty), close friends and colleagues who are habitual in cheating their wives Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor), Karthika (Rimi Sen) and Radha (Celina Jaitley), and having fun with other girls. After suspecting Raj for having an extra-marital affair, Sanjana hires Kishan (Akshay Kumar), who specializes in exposing cheating husbands and solving an extra-marital affair. What follows is a crazy turn of events which leads onto an unexpected climax.
Bazmee uses his old formula of presenting exotic foreign locations, creating slapstick humour in crazy situations, adding jazzy music and background score and adding lots of spice (exposure) in order to create large doses of entertainment. In Thank You, his formula works but only in parts. Although the writing (Bazmee, Rajiv Kaul, Rajan Agarwal, Nisar Akhtar and Ikram Akhtar) gives rise to a number of jaw-dropping sequences, it loses grip regularly, especially in the last 30 minutes where emotional scenes are thrown up which just don't gel with the nature of the film. And the mystery about Akshay Kumar's character appears silly.
Dialogues here are the biggest strong point and they act as a saving grace. Ravi Yadav's cinematography is another plus point. Pritam does a decent job as a music director by providing tracks like Pyaar Do Pyaar Lo and Razia.
Irfan Khan deserves thumbs up for a mature comic act which even succeeds in keeping the interest alive even when things aren't that interesting. In fact, his is coming is the backbone of the film. Although Akshay Kumar has appeared in a number of comic capers, he gets to do something different here. His act will satisfy his fans. Bobby Deol's performance ranges between good to average. Suniel Shetty succeeds in being funny but looks uncomfortable in few sequences.
Of all the three actresses, Rimi Sen impresses the most and also looks beautiful. Sonam Kapoor grows as an actress although she doesn't achieve that much perfection. Celina Jaitley's character mysteriously disappears after the interval. Anyways, she was just forgetful.
The big relief with Thank You is that it is anytime better than No Problem. Watch it if you have nothing to do and just wish to while away time. At the box-office, the movie has some chance as such mindless comedies have had a good history at the ticket window in recent years.

Government Apathetic at Hazare's Condition?
It is a matter of deep shame for the government that 73 year old Anna Hazare is forced to protest by fasting unto death for the approval of Jan Lokpal Bill, something that is highly in favour of the people of India. The bill gives the power to the people to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without the permission from the government (Wikipedia). The bill can be the common man's answer to corruption
Poor Hazare is into his third day of fasting. So, why the Manmohan Singh led Congress government isn't accepting the bill if it is so much in favour of the people? Ironically, the fact that the bill is so much in favour of the common man, as it can give him the power to prosecute any corrupt politician, is precisely the reason why the government isn't passing it. It is obvious that if the bill is passed, the Congress itself will feel the heat since all of us are aware of the level of corruption in congress.
Having said that, it will be wrong to think that only Congress are in it. Not almost but all political parties are deeply into corruption and they all can face the heat if the bill is passed.
With support for Hazare coming from people from all walks of life including the common man, filmstars, corporates, cricketers, etc, the whole of India is waiting in anticipation as to what will the government do. If the government agrees to pass a revised version of the bill, Hazare will not accept and rightly so. And if the government agrees to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill as it is, it will be one of the most defining events in the history of India.
And God forbid if anything happens to Hazare, there will be such an outcry that the government can't even imagine in their wildest of dreams. So in both ways, Hazare has trapped Congress government and we all are with him. After all, he is doing it for us, the youth of India!

An Open Letter To Shahid Afridi
April 7, 2011 by Keyur Seta 2 Comments
(Not dear anymore) Shahid Afridi,
Your anti-India statements have triggered uproar in India against you. Although I am also angry with you, I also found your comments funny. Funny because it came from someone like you who has never been a wholehearted human being. Your antics on the field are a proof of it.
You have immense batting talent. Your world record of fastest century in one-day internationals is a proof of it. However, you got badly carried away by the success and started believing you can hit every ball for a six. This started your downfall as you started gaining more interest in hitting sixes, in your personal strike rate rather than your team's victory. If you were really a wholehearted person, you would have batted according to the need of your team instead of just going out there with the only mission to hit sixes and in the process making a fool of your batting talent. In 90% of your innings, you have just needlessly thrown away your wicket. With the bat, you average just in the early 20s.
Over the years, as a bowler, you have started having an illusion that it is absolutely impossible for a batsman to hit you for a four or a six. Whenever a batsman does that, you react in a manner as if the batsman robbed your house. People around the world have witnessed you abusing batsmen after they hit you around the park. If you were truly wholehearted, you would have got the batsman out using your bowling skills rather than getting furious on the batsman and being a spoilsport.
Not just that, you always come up with all kinds of unsporting methods like excessive appealing to disturb the rhythm of the batsmen. And who can forget your worldly infamous ball chewing incident? (Still talking about wholeheartedness, Shahid?)
After your team's sad exit from the world cup (when they lost to India in the semi-final), you were seen with a broad grin on your face during the post match presentation. In fact, your smile was wider than the winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. This speaks volumes about your wholeheartedness as it shows that such an important loss doesn't mean anything to you.
Time and again, whenever anyone receives a backslash from the world, he or she blames it on the media. You did the same thing after receiving criticisms from Indians and even Pakistani ex-players. Hence, you have made a bigger fool of yourself by making a U-turn for your comments.
I have some very good friends in Pakistan. By interacting with them, it is evident that the common man from your country has high respect for Indians. I advice to get some piece of mind from your countrymen. The above mentioned point openly proves your wholeheartedness. Hence, you, a ball chewer, are not at all eligible to comment on Indians.

World Cup 2011: Important Part of our Lives' Summary
All of us who are born after 1983 or were too young to remember anything of that period, have only heard stories from our elders about India's remarkable World Cup victory in that year or at the most, have seen footages of the final between India and West Indies.
Although by listening to the stories and watching the highlights years back, we were able to imagine the triumphant feeling that the country must have experienced back then but we were devoid of the actual feeling of the live moment when the country achieves the feat of lifting the World Cup.
Come April 2, 2011 and we were able to have a firsthand experience of what it actually means to rule the world when Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit Nuvan Kulsekara for a six over his head. I jumped out of my chair like I have never jumped before ever (Thank God for my height else my head would have hit the fan!). And that's not all. I even clapped on the table few times. The scene gave a jolt to my family as I have always been someone who controls his reactions, but who the hell cares? We have the cup that counts! I am sure even others, like me, will have fond memories of what they did when the six was hit.
The final victory, twists and the important happenings of the match, players' performances, tension when India lost two openers and the rest of the matches of the series are going to be a part of our discussion for the rest of our lives. The visuals of our team celebrating after the victory, Sachin being lifted on the players' shoulders and the celebrations across our countries are going to remain permanently in our eyes forever. Unintentionally, we might even by-heart the scorecard of the final (see below).
In the future, no matter how many important events happen with us or how much we achieve in our lives, many years later if we ever decide to write the summary of our lives, India's 2011 World Cup victory will be an important part of it.

(21-003073) 700 Donaldson Rd. / Narcotics Arrest:
Officers attempted to stop a motorcycle for traffic violations, but the bike failed to stop for officers. When the motorcycle fled from officers, it had obvious mechanical issues, but officers allowed the bike to flee without pursuing it. The bike had been seen in the area several times and had fled from officers before. Officers later observed the same motorcycle in the 1400 block of McBrien Rd. traveling north still having mechanical issues. Officers again attempted a stop, and the driver refused, so officers discontinued. Later, officers were returning from a Ridgeside patrol and witnessed the same bike and suspect on South Crest. This time, officers did not engage the suspect. But as officers approached, the driver dismounted the bike and fled on foot. Officers gave chase and took the suspect into custody without incident. The driver, Anthony Smith, aka Ice Man, was taken into custody for several charges.

Opponent of Nation's Public Lands is Picked to Oversee Them
George Frey, Getty Images
WASHINGTON (AP) — A conservative lawyer and writer who argues for selling off the nation's public lands is now in charge of a nearly quarter-billion acres in federally held rangeland and other wilderness.
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt on Monday signed an order making Wyoming native William Perry Pendley acting head of the Bureau of Land Management. The bureau manages nearly 250 million acres of largely wild public lands and their minerals and other resources in vast holdings across the U.S. West.
Pendley, a former midlevel Interior appointee in the Reagan administration, for decades has championed ranchers and others in standoffs with the federal government over grazing and other uses of public lands. He has written books accusing federal authorities and environmental advocates of "tyranny" and "waging war on the West." He argued in a 2016 National Review article that the "Founding Fathers intended all lands owned by the federal government to be sold."
In tweets this summer, Pendley has welcomed Trump administration moves to open more federal land to mining and oil and gas development and other private business use, and he has called the oil and gas extraction technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, "an energy, economic, AND environmental miracle!"
The Interior Department appointed Pendley as the policy director at BLM, which manages one out of every 10 acres in the United States and 30% of the nation's minerals, in mid-July. It confirmed his appointment as acting head on Monday night, without immediate comment.
A conservation group called Pendley an "ideological zealot" and pointed to the federal agency's announcement earlier this month that it planned to move the BLM's headquarters from Washington and disperse the headquarters staff among Western states.
Pendley's "ascending to the top of BLM just as it is being reorganized strongly suggests the administration is positioning itself to liquidate our shared public lands," said Phil Hanceford, conservation director for The Wilderness Society conservation advocacy group.
The Interior Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the accusation, but earlier it denied that the headquarters' breakup was meant to weaken the agency.

Investigation Underway After Elderly Man Died Shortly After Receiving COVID Vaccine At Javits Center
By Aundrea Cline-Thomas February 9, 2021 at 7:00 am
Filed Under:Aundrea Cline-Thomas, COVID Vaccine, Dr. Max Gomez, Jacob Javits Center, Local TV, New York, New York City
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An investigation is underway after an elderly man died shortly after receiving a COVID vaccine at the Javits Center.
State health officials say a man in his seventies – whose name has not been released – collapsed 25 minutes after receiving the shot and later died at the hospital Sunday morning, CBS2's Aundrea Cline-Thomas reported.
In a statement, the state health commissioner said, during the 15 minute observation period after getting the vaccine, "… he exhibited no adverse reactions or any distress."
"Until we know more about a detailed medical history of this patient, or one or two others that have had something similar happen, we won't really know what caused it," said CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez.
State health officials do not believe the man had an allergic reaction – a rare, but possible side effect. According to the CDC, 10 allergic reactions, and no deaths, were reported out of nearly 4.1 million administered doses of the Moderna vaccine from Dec. 21 to Jan. 10.
"So far, it's been extraordinarily safe. I mean, we've, around the world, vaccinated many millions of people with really very few adverse side effects, compared to the possibility of getting COVID," said Gomez.
Explanation Of N.Y.'s Yellow, Orange, Red Zones (.pdf)
That's why the medical community stands by the safety of the vaccine. So far, nearly 1 million people in New York City have been vaccinated.
The medical examiner is investigating how this man died, but it's too soon to link the vaccine to the patient's death.
COVID vaccination sites, including the Javits Center, remain open across the city. Medical professionals say the possibility of getting COVID still poses a much greater threat.

The Nonimportation Association as Corrected by Mason (April 23, 1769)
[23 April 1769]
The Merchants, Traders, Gentlemen, and other principal Inhabitants of the Colony of Virginia in general & of the County of in particular, deeply affected with the Grievances and Distresses with which his Majesty's American Subjects are oppressed, and dreading the evils which threaten the Ruin of themselves and their posterity, by reducing them from a free and happy people to a Wretched & miserable State of Slavery, having taken into their Serious Consideration the present State of the Trade of this Colony, and of the American Commerce in general, observe with anxiety that the Debt due to Great Britain for Goods imported from thence is very great, and the means of paying this Debt in the present Situation of affairs likely to become more and more precarious—that the Difficulties under which they now labour as a Trading people are owing to the Restrictions prohibitions, & ill advised Regulations in several late Acts of parliament in Great Britain; in particular that the last unconstitutional Acts imposing Duties on Tea, Paper, Glass &c. for the sole purpose of raising a Revenue in America, being injurious to property, & destructive to Liberty, have a necessary Tendency to prevent the payment of Old Debts or the Contracting of New, and are of Consequence ruinous to Trade—T1hat notwithstanding the many earnest applications already made there is little reason to expect a Redress of these Grievances. Therefore in justice to themselves & their posterity, as well as to the Traders of Great Britain concern'd in the American Commerce, the Subscribers have Voluntarily & Unanimously entered into the following Resolutions, in Hopes that their Example will Stimulate the good people of the Colony to be frugal in the Use & Consumption of British Manufacture, and that their Brethern the Merchants & Manufacturers of Great Britain may from motives of Interest justice, & Friendship be engaged to exert themselves to obtain Redress of those Grievances under which the Trade & inhabitants of America at present Labour.
First It is unanimously agreed on & resolved this Day of 1769. That the Subscribers as well by their own Example as by all other legal ways & means in their power, will promote & encourage Industry & Frugality & discourage all manner of Luxury & Extravigance.
Secondly That they will not at any time hereafter directly or indirectly import or cause to be imported any Manner of Goods Merchandize or Manufactures which are or shall hereafter be taxed by Act of Parliament for the purpose of raising a Revenue in America (except such only as orders have been already sent for) nor purchase any such after the first Day of September next of any person Whatsoever—But that they will always consider such Taxation in every Respect as an absolute prohibition, and in all future Orders direct their correspondents to ship them no Goods whatever taxed as aforesaid.
Thirdly That the Subscribers will not hereafter directly or indirectly import or cause to be imported from Great Britain or any part of Europe (except such Articles of the produce or manufacture of Ireland as are brought hither imediately from thence, & Fruit & Oyl imediatly from the Mediteranean & except also such Goods as orders have been already sent for) any of the Goods hereinafter enumerated vizt. Spirits, Wine, Cyder, perry, Beer, Ale, Malt, Barley, peas, Beef, Pork, Fish, Butter, Cheese, Tallow, Candles, Oyl, Fruit, (Sugar) pickles, Confectionry, Pewter, Hoes, Axes, Watches, Clocks, Tables, Chairs, Looking-glasses, Carriages, Jointers & Cabinet Work of all Sorts, & Upholstery of all Sorts, Trinkets & Jewellery, plate, & Gold & Silver Smiths Work of all Sorts, Ribbons & Millenary of all sorts, (Lace of all sorts) India Goods of all Sorts (except Spices) Silks of all Sorts (except Sewing Silk) Cambricks, Lawn, Muslin, Gauze (except Boulting Cloths) Callico or Cotton Stuffs of more than 2/ pr. yd. Linnens at more than 2/ pr. yr. Wollen Worsted & Mix'd Stuffs of all sorts at more the 1/6 pr. yd. Broad Cloaths of all kinds at more than 8/ pr. yd. Narrow Cloaths of all kinds at more than 3/ pr. yd. Nets, Stockings, Shoes, & Boots, Saddles, & all Manufacturers of Leather & Skins of all kinds until the late Acts of parliament imposing Duties on Tea, paper, Glass &c. for the purpose of raising a Revenue in America are repealed; and that they will not after the first of September next purchase any of the above enumerated goods of any person whatever, unless the above mentioned Acts of parliament are repealed.
Fourthly That in all orders which any of the Subscribers may hereafter send to Great Britain they shall & will expressly direct their correspondents not to Ship them any of the above enumerated goods, untill the before mentioned Acts of parliament are repealed; and if any Goods are ship'd them contrary to the tenor of this Agreement, they will refuse to take the same, or make themselves chargible therewith.
Fifthly That they will not import any Slaves, or purchase any (hereafter) imported untill the said Acts of parliament are repeale'd.
Sixthly That if the Measures already entered into should prove ineffectual, & our Grievances & oppressions shoud notwithstanding be continue'd; then & in that case, the Subscribers will put a stop to their exports to Europe of Tar, pitch, Turpentine, Timber, & Lumber, & Skins and Furs of all sorts, and will endeavour to find some other Employment for their Slaves and other Hands than cultivating Tobacco, which they will entirely leave off making, & will enter into such Regulations as may be necessary with Regard to Rents & other Tobacco Debts (due to them).
Seventhly & Lastly That these Resolves shall be binding on all & each of the Subscribers, who do hereby each and every person for himself upon his Word & Honour agree, that he will strictly & firmly adhere to & abide by every Article of this Agreement from the time of his signing the same for & during the continuance of the before mentioned Acts of parliament; or untill a general Meeting of the Subscribers, after one Months public Notice, shall determine otherwise; the second Article of this Agreement still, & forever continuing in full power & Force.

Hello all, I just got started with my rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying fractions class. Boy! This thing is really tough! I just never seem to understand the point behind any topic . The result? My rankings go down . Is there any guru who can lend me a helping hand?
Due to health reasons you might have not been able to attend a few classes at school, but what if I can you can simulate your classroom, in your house ? In fact, right on the laptop that you are working on? All of us have missed some classes at some point or the other during our life, but thanks to Algebrator I've never missed much. Just like a teacher would explain in the class, Algebrator solves our queries and gives us a detailed description of how it was answered. I used it basically to get some help on rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying fractions and inequalities. But it works well for all the topics.
Yeah, I agree with what has just been said. Algebrator explains everything in such great detail that even a beginner can learn the tricks of the trade, and crack some of the most difficult mathematical problems. It explains each and every intermediate step that it took to reach a certain solution with such finesse that you'll learn a lot from it.
I remember having often faced difficulties with hypotenuse-leg similarity, adding numerators and side-angle-side similarity. A truly great piece of math program is Algebrator software. By simply typing in a problem homework a step by step solution would appear by a click on Solve. I have used it through many algebra classes – Algebra 2, College Algebra and Pre Algebra. I greatly recommend the program.
Oh . I did not realize that there could be a answer for me. May be I should try this out . I am already thankful to know that the resolution to my troubles is at hand. I am raring to try this out. Can you please tell me where I can buy this program?

Focus: Full potency, illumination, mysteries revealed; healing, the height of joy, fulfilment, the need to seize the moment.
The summer solstice has been celebrated in cultures as far apart as Russia and North America, where Sun dances were an assertion of power and courage and in a new form still bring healing to the nations and the Earth.
The height of the festival is the first light falling on the morning of the solstice, like a shaft of gold across standing stones and stone circles, linking the dimensions. Many circles throughout Europe and Scandinavia, such as Stonehenge in Wiltshire, are aligned to the summer solstice sunrise, as are a number of stone medicine wheels in America and Canada.
These places, built on centres of great power, have accumulated not only the power of the thousands of midsummer suns that have shone on this day since their creation, but the hopes and prayers of those who have and still gather at such places. These include priests, Druids, healers, warriors, monarchs and ordinary men and women who connect with fusion of Sky and Earth energies, the sacred and ceremonial marriage of god and goddess on this most magical of days.
There is a long-standing pagan tradition of lighting bonfires on beacon hills to strengthen the power of the Sun before it began its decline. On Midsummer Day, fire wheels were rolled down the hillsides, flaming tar barrels were swung on chains and blazing torches tossed in the air. In Sweden, they still hold a midsummer weekend with a midsummer tree, or pole, decorated with greenery and flowers forming the centrepiece of music and revels. There is feasting in towns as well as the countryside in what is a national event and thousands of people gather as they have for centuries at focal points such as the Island of Oland on the Stockholm archipelago.
St John's wort, the golden herb of midsummer and symbol of the summer solstice, was said to offer fertility and powers to attract love if picked at midnight on 23 June, the eve of St John's Day, or the eve of the actual solstice. Hopeful lovers would carry it or place it under a pillow.
The power of the summer solstice can be harnessed for tackling seemingly insoluble problems and bringing light and life and hope to those who are depressed or who have been unable through circumstances such as poverty to fulfil their potential. It can help to tackle global warming, famine and disease, and to prevent oppression of people and cruelty in intensive farming methods where livestock suffer for human greed.
On a personal level, summer solstice rituals are for courage, male potency and fertility, for achievement, success, confidence, health and happiness, for fulfilling potential and providing ever-expanding opportunities both physical, mental and spiritual. These spells are especially potent for maturing adults approaching middle age.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) deals with employees keeping their insurance coverage, national electronic healthcare standards. Information relevant to doctors includes the Privacy and Security provisions of the HIPAA law. This article focuses on these topics.
Who is not bound by HIPAA
Covered entities include hospitals, insurance companies, and doctors are bound by the Privacy and Security rules of HIPAA.
Life insurance companies, employers, worker comp agencies, schools, and law enforcement are not covered entities.
Security Rule
Security rule outlines the necessary safeguards in protecting electronic PHI.
Privacy Rule
regulates use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) by covered entities. PHI includes any part of medical record or billing history.
Covered entities must disclose PHI
to the patient (upon written request, within 30 days), and
when required by law (child abuse, gun shot wounds, etc)
Covered entities may, but not required to, disclose PHI without written authorization for
billing and insurance coverage
this includes traditional billing, ED giving PHI to ambulance company or outside lab, so they can bill.
to the individual (a must with written authorization)
for treatment
this includes releasing medical information to a specialist who will treat the pt., or to a nursing home, where pt. is being discharged.
psychotherapy notes is an important exception; written authorization is required for release of PHI to the individual or others.
Additional wrinkles
covered entities may design their own process of written consent for disclosing of PHI which does not normally require authorization under the Privacy Rule. Consent is not equivalent to written authorization which has specific Privacy Rule applications.
HIPAA does not require consent or authorization for a doctor to discuss the care of the patient with another doctor. However an institution may design its own consent procedure and require doctors to abide by it. In either case, patient must be notified how the institution handles the PHI via the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Entities must notify the patient about their disclosure practices (i.e. do they disclose PHI when permitted, without consent), and thus patients are asked to sign The Notice of Privacy Practices, and are given a HIPAA brochure.
Individuals have the right to request restrictions on how a covered entity will use and disclose protected health information about them for treatment, payment, and health care operations. A covered entity is not required to agree to the request for a restriction, but is bound by any restrictions to which it agrees.
Entities must accommodate reasonable requests for confidential communication (e.g. calling only at work and never at home).
Generally parents/guardians have the authority to make health care decisions for their children. This is mandated and regulated by State laws, not HIPAA. Many states withhold parental authority in instances of mental and sexual health.
When parents or guardians of minors (and legal guardians of mentally incompetent adults) have the authority to make healthcare decisions (most situations), they are considered personal representatives by HIPAA. They are can authorize the release of and receive PHI about a minor, with some exceptions.
State laws may specify if specific HPI is not available to parents.
Abuse, neglect and endangerment situations.
If a state grants the minor the authority to make decisions about her own psychotherapy treatments, a parent is not a "personal representative" under HIPAA Privacy Law, and thus not entitled to receiving PHI about psychotherapy. Parent is still a "personal representative" when it comes to pneumonia treatment and have HIPAA right to receive PHI.
State laws may or may not specify what PHI is available to parents when they do not have the authority to make health care decisions. (HIPAA does not apply since the parent is not a "personal representative.")
Under a state law, a minor may have the authority to decide to terminate a pregnancy, but a parent may have a right to obtain that PHI. It falls to the institution/health care provider to make the decision when the state law is vague.

An American I met at the hostel in Pisa had just returned from Siena and he told me about The Palio, a horse race held on 2nd July and 16 August every year in which teams of horses and their jockeys race around the unusually-shaped Piazza del Campo of Siena in full medieval costumes. I felt my heart sink because when I heard this, it was 4th July and I had just missed the race. Siena is about 45 minutes from Pisa by car/bus.
Another thing Siena is famous for is panforte, a heavy tart made of fruits, nuts and spices which is surprisingly delicious. I'm not particularly fond of heavy tarts such as pecan pie and panforte didn't look delicious. However, on our last day in Pisa, I bought a small piece of panforte and was blown away at first bite. It was moist, soft (surprise!) with flavors of citrus peel, nuts, honey and spices. It reminded me of panatone, a Christmas bread made from similar ingredients. Because of the rich ingredients, panforte is not cheap and is usually sold by the weight in grams. A small slice costs about 20 euros.
I think it was 35 euros per 200g (or was it per 100g?). Expensive but is a real treat.
I also loved torta della nonna, grandmother's cake, which has a light pastry crust and a custard made with eggs, lemon and ricotta cheese. Italian desserts are few and not fancy or elaborate but are homey and yes, from their grandmothers' recipes and simply delicious. I bought my panforte and torta della nonna from Pasticceria Salza, Pisa. The delightful cake shop was full of Italian desserts and I wish I had tried more of their goodies.
I have LOVED reading about your trip. I will not get tired of your posts. Keep them coming.
Pisa is beautiful as is the rest of Italy. And their food is glorious.
Glad you and fam are having such a great time. I am truly envious as I would love to go back one day.


How do you talk about fruit in French? How is it pronounced? Here is a list of 15 of them to start you with.
Anne, "limette" is the same as "citron doux"?
Oui, 'limette' is the same as 'citron doux'.
Merci. "limette" is a "sweet lemon" in English, simply I have never heard of it before… There is such, qui!
Here in Latvia we know: pamelo, clémentine, litchi, kiwi etc.
"tangerine" is some kind of a mandarine, right?
Oui, la mandarine et la tangerine sont très similaires.

ScyllaDB Announces Support for IBM Power Systems
Real-Time Big Data Database Company Integrates Products with IBM POWER9 Processor
PALO ALTO, CALIF. – JUNE 6, 2018 – ScyllaDB, the real-time big data database company, today announced a new Scylla Enterprise release with optimizations for IBM PowerTM System Servers with the IBM POWER9 multi-core architecture. By combining Scylla's highly performant, close-to-the-hardware design with next-generation IBM Power System Servers, organizations can reach new levels of performance while also reducing the footprint, cost and complexity of their systems.
Scylla database editions with support for IBM Power Systems are available for download from the ScyllaDB website.
This integration builds upon a multi-faceted relationship between ScyllaDB and IBM. In 2016, IBM Compose began providing Scylla as part of their database-as-a-service offering. The collaboration has since grown to include additional IBM divisions, including IBM Systems (both IBM Power Systems and Z Systems), IBM Cloud (including IBM Graph as a service) and IBM's internal use of Scylla to power the IBM Cloud Service Catalog.
Scylla is an open source drop-in replacement for Apache Cassandra. It delivers scale-up performance of 1,000,000 IOPS per node, scales out to hundreds of nodes, and consistently achieves a 99% tail latency of less than 1 millisecond. Scylla's pioneering shard-per-core implementation, asynchronous architecture and auto-tuning capabilities enable organizations to immediately leverage the full advantages of the multi-core POWER9 chip.
"ScyllaDB has designed a powerful distributed database that extends the performance advantages we've introduced with our multi-core POWER9 processors," said Tim Vincent, IBM Fellow and Vice President of IBM Cognitive Systems. "The combination of the Scylla NoSQL database and our Power System Servers enables our shared customers to scale up their systems rather than continually scaling out, creating new opportunities for data center consolidation and price performance."
IBM Power Systems servers are designed for mission-critical applications and emerging Cognitive Era workloads including artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, advanced analytics and high-performance computing. Whether deployed in a private, public or hybrid cloud, Power System Servers are capable of performing millions of I/O operations per second. Because Scylla operates asynchronously, it is able to take full advantage of the speed of the POWER9 processor, driving both I/O and CPU processing in a way that scales linearly with the number of cores on the CPU.
"We are excited by the many advancements IBM has made with its Power System Servers," said Dor Laor, CEO of ScyllaDB. "As data volumes continue to increase, organizations need to process greater workloads yet also avoid introducing more complexity into their systems. The combination of Scylla and IBM POWER9 delivers unprecedented performance, scale, density and efficiency while greatly simplifying the administrative burden of Big Data systems."
About ScyllaDB
ScyllaDB is the real-time big data database company. Fully compatible with Apache Cassandra, Scylla embraces a shared-nothing approach that increases throughput and storage capacity to 10X that of Cassandra. AppNexus, Samsung, Olacabs, Grab, Investing.com, Snapfish, Zen.ly, IBM's Compose and many more leading companies have adopted Scylla to realize order-of-magnitude performance improvements and reduce hardware costs. ScyllaDB was founded by the team responsible for the KVM hypervisor and is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Innovation Endeavors, Wing Venture Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Magma Venture Partners, Western Digital Capital, Samsung Ventures, and TLV Partners.

Delhi is all set to get a new international airport dubbed the Jewar Noida International Airport (JNIA) or the New Greater Delhi Airport. According to the latest reports, the foundation stone for the project is set to be laid between February 23 to 25, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate it. Currently, the capital has only one international airport which is the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), and the JNIA will be the second. The JNIA was initially announced after plans were laid out for Mumbai's second international airport, which is currently being constructed in Navi Mumbai. We'll see some headway on the Delhi airport now.
According to the Centre for Aviation (CAPA), the JNIA will open its doors to the public in the next three years. Until then, here are some things you need to know about Delhi's new international airport or the Jewar Noida International Airport (JNAI).
The Jewar Noida International Airport will be spread across 2200 acres and can accommodate up to 50 million passengers per year, making it the largest airport in India in terms of surface area. The land allocated for the airport site is 72kms away from the DIGIA, located in Gautam Budh Nagar, Noida, a part of the NCR. While the site for the Navi Mumbai airport was dogged by multiple issues due to various reasons; for this selection, amendments had to made to the rules that stated that no airport can be made within 150kms of an existing airport. The land was acquired by the government in December last year.
The plans for the Jewar Noida International Airport were approved by the Aviation ministry in June 2015 and was given in-principle government approval two years later. The new international airport will be a greenfield project, which means that it will be constructed on an empty land, and thus doesn't require any time for any kind of demolition. Which is why the massive project will be completed in such a short period of time. The entire project is estimated to cost about ₹22066 crore or $3.1 billion.
Since the idea of the project came around, it was decided that it would be implemented as a public-private-partnership, where concessions can be sought through an open market bidding process. A P3 means that the private sector will undertake the risk of construction, maintenance etc, in exchange for the right to future revenue payments for a specific term. In this case, the GMR Group, which was involved in the expansion and modernisation of the DIGIA, holds the first rights to refusal of any new airport in Delhi. However, GMR's director K Narayan Rao has confirmed that the company will participate in this project as well in February last year.
The new Jewar Noida International Airport is estimated to take off the load off the air passenger traffic from the struggling Indira Gandhi Airport. This comes after the DIGIA having gone through expansions in terms of new terminals being build for charter and private flights, as well as rapid exit taxiways and a fourth runway. However, the CAPA states that India will soon be the third largest aviation market in the world and that the JNIA will become "saturated" by 2040.
There are also talks of building a direct metro rail line to Jewar Noida International Airport. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has said that it will submit a report suggesting the feasibility of building a line from the new airport to Delhi and Greater Noida and submit it this month.
While the second international airports for Mumbai and Delhi were announced together, it seems like the latter has avoided some obstacles in its course, and seems to be coming along well and fast.


Jazakallah Khayr, May Allaah(swt) allow me to be of service if I can be.
Welcome to the mix! It's good that you have strong knowledge and communication skills. Definitely will come in handy. I think I'll even learn a thing or two from you!
Another reason as a Muslim it is easier to live among the people who worship Wankan Tonka then among the Christians who worship a man-god. I have not seen one thing among the NA spiritual beliefs that violates what I believe as a Muslim. It is possible for Muslims and NA who follow the traditional path to live side by side with neither trying or needing to convert the other.
my great grandmother and her family were also survivors of the Trail of Tears, I knew my great grandmother very well, she taught me the ancient ways of my people, she too lost relatives on that tragic event that's why I am Keetoowah.
I see that your people have also suffered at the hands of the Europeans and Christianity.
I thank you for the Rep points. I have a question, how is it that you are living on the Lakota Reservation and you are not a member of the people or did they adopt you.

This site describes "Lottery Cracker! 3", which costs £14.99 (though it's not clear how you order it other than phoning up their Manchester number !) and appears to be for a PC (though no actual system specs are mentioned). Strangely, you can download version 2 of the software for free, which might discourage people from buying the new version. Also, some of the criteria used to prune out "losing" tickets are dubious - e.g. "doesn't pick tickets with 5 or 6 odd or even numbers"...hmmmmm. There's also similar software for the Irish lottery available.

New poll shows woeful international confidence in Trump
If Trump's goal was to command global respect and dramatically improve our international standing, this has to be seen as one of his most spectacular failures.
French President Emmanuel Macron (L) and German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2nd L) speaks as US President Donald Trump (C) arrives next to Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras (R) for a picture during the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) summit at the NATO headquarters, in Brussels, on May 25, 2017.ERIC FEFERBERG / AFP - Getty Images
Jan. 9, 2020, 4:04 PM UTC
There are a handful of strange boasts that Donald Trump repeats incessantly, but one of the president's favorites is the idea that he commands global respect and singlehandedly improved the United States' international standing. As we've discussed before, the Republican has convinced himself that we were a global laughingstock before he took office, and thanks to his awesomeness, he's turned things around.
"You know, this is a new age," he boasted at a White House event last year. "This is a very exciting time. It's very exciting time for our country. Our country is respected again all over the world, they are respecting like we haven't been respected in many, many years, I'll tell you."
Part of the problem with the president's odd boast is that global surveys in 2017 and 2018 showed that Trump had it exactly backwards: his international stature was weak and his presidency damaged the United States' reputation abroad. The other part of the problem is that the problem isn't improving. USA Today reported:
Confidence in President Donald Trump to do the right thing when it comes to world affairs remains broadly negative, according to a Pew Research Center survey.
The Washington-based Pew study, released Wednesday, found that among people it polled in 32 countries, 29% express confidence in Trump. Sixty-four percent say they lack confidence in the White House occupant.
The figures stand in marked contrast to the final years of Barack Obama's presidency, when a median of 64% expressed confidence in Trump's predecessor to direct America's role in the world in a positive manner.
The full report from the Pew Research Center is online here, and it paints a deeply unflattering portrait of Trump's global reputation.
Among the top-line takeaways from the 32-nation survey:
* In general, foreign populations "lack confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to world affairs."
* Anti-Trump sentiments "are especially common" in western European countries that have traditionally been close U.S. allies.
* In most countries, Barack Obama enjoyed far greater support during his White House tenure than Trump had in 2019.
* It's not, strictly speaking, personal: the Pew Research Center's study found the lack of confidence in Trump was "driven in part by opposition to his policies," including opposition to the president's rejection of efforts to combat the climate crisis and his abandonment of the international nuclear agreement with Iran.
* Among prominent world leaders, Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping enjoy low international confidence, but Trump received "more negative ratings than either the Russian or Chinese leader."
* The United States' image abroad has remained relatively steady, but in most countries, favorable views of the United States were higher in the Obama era.
If Trump's goal was to command global respect and dramatically improve the country's international standing, this has to be seen as one of his most spectacular failures.

This week, China's continued freeze on game approvals massively benefits Steam, EA and Activision experience tremendous growth thanks to their "games-as-a-service" business model, and Microsoft reports record growth.
In a talk at Melbourne Games Week, a spokesperson from Valve revealed that, in just one year, Steam gained 27 million users, bringing their total user base to over 90 million. Market intelligence firm Niko Partners attributes this to a massive uptick in Chinese users due to their government's freeze on new game approvals, instituted in March of 2018. This has forced Chinese gamers to use Steam for the latest releases instead of platforms like Tencent's WeGame. VentureBeat highlighted an observation from Niko Partners, noting that Steam is technically operating illegally in China as it hasn't gone through the country's official licensing process, effectively making it a "gray market." Valve did announce in June however, that they are working with local publisher Perfect World to officially launch Steam China in the near future. According to sources close to GamesIndustry.biz, Tencent's value plummeting by a staggering $190 billion is likely of little concern to the Chinese government, as they instead prioritize their public health agenda, which is meant to curb increasing rates of addiction, myopia and "other ills" supposedly related to gaming. According to Bloomberg, the temporary stopgap approval process for new games instituted in August, known as the "green channel," was also frozen, further exacerbating Tencent's monetary struggles and ensuring Steam's continued popularity in the region.
GameDaily.biz reported on findings from analyst group DFC Intelligence, in which Activision and Electronic Arts were reported to have grown by a combined $79 billion thanks to their switch to the games-as-a-service model for marquee franchises like Madden, Call of Duty, Destiny, Battlefield, and more. While many might prefer traditional, stand-alone, "pay to play" games like God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man, TechSpot observed that games relying on DLC and microtransactions like loot boxes are likely here to stay for the foreseeable future thanks to their massive success. In fact, EA is launching only seven games next year, all of which are expected to use said model. GameDaily.biz explained the rationale behind the business model's success, stating that "[publishers] are able to release fewer products while generating far more revenue." Thus, the games-as-a-service business model is not only insanely profitable, but sustainable as well. IGN noted that Activision's value grew from $10 billion in 2012 to $60 billion this year, while EA grew from $4 billion to $60 billion in the same timeframe.


Moving to a new hosting provider can sometimes be a difficult task. We can take this weight off your shoulders and migrate your web files, MySQL databases and e–mails hassle–free.
Q: Why do I have to transfer my website? What does web site migration include?
A: If your current hosting provider can no longer fulfill the needs of your website, or if you suffer from continual downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the support staff to respond to you, it may be a clever idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Technofree Technology, we realize that this can often be hard and time–consuming. Because of this, we'll do all that for you for free!Our highly proficient technical staff members will migrate your site content from your present provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience with web site migration and are able to handle everything – from a conventional WordPress blog or Joomla™–based site, to a very elaborate, custom–made app.
A: There are many factors to consider – the overall number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Still, we do our best to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour period. Smaller sites are migrated much faster – typically within 24 hours.
Q: My personal privacy concerns me. What information do you need to have?
A: We'll require the login information for your old hosting provider's Control Panel along with the website's name (domain name).
A: While we migrate your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former hosting provider. When the migration is finished, we will make sure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised prior to informing you that the migration is complete. Then we will instruct you how to move the domain name to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.
A: Yup. We support all regular Linux–driven hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, because we don't offer Windows hosting services ourselves.In addition, we do not support proprietary website creation and administration tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.


When Jesus revealed that he used the intimate word 'Abba' to speak to God, he was inviting us to throw away all notions of a strict disciplinarian father figure that we may have grown up with, and instead discover a new tenderness in our relationship with Father God. However, on occasions the Bible invites us to ponder even more about the nature of God, and for the next few days we are going to explore some of the qualities of God that might be thought of as 'mother qualities'.
I am certainly not suggesting that we change our prayers to 'Mother God', but it is interesting that throughout the Bible there are some 'windows' to God that reveal aspects of his character that are not usually associated with the word 'Father' as we understand it.
In the very first chapter of the Bible we read about God creating humankind in his image, man and woman. The implication is that his image cannot be contained within one gender.
Think of some feminine characteristics and consider their impact on you. What does this suggest about the nature of God and what might he be trying to reveal to you about himself?

Canadian firms 'too U.S.-centric,' Indian official says
looked
solicit

A senior Indian economic minister says Canadian companies are too focused on the United States and as a result risk missing out on billions of dollars worth of investment opportunities in his country.
"I'm looking at Canada looking beyond NAFTA," Kamal Nath, India's minister of road transport and highways, said in an interview Thursday.
"I don't think they have looked at India," Mr. Nath said of Canadian companies. "They have heard about India, but they have not looked at India because they have been too U.S.-centric."
The comments came in response to a question about why Mr. Nath, who is in the middle of three-day road show aimed at rounding up international investment, felt the need to solicit interest in an economy that is among the fastest growing in the world.
Mr. Nath's remarks reflect the widely held perception overseas that Canada's economy is an appendage of the United States, home of the world's largest economy to which Canadian businesses have easy access thanks to the North American Free Trade Agreement.
