Biography :-Sadashiv Dattaray Amrapurkar (11 May 1950 – 3 November 2014) was an Indian actor, best known for his performances in Marathi and Hindi films in the period 1983 to 1999.
He received the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role in 1991 for Sadak — the first time the award was instituted. In addition to negative roles, he has done supporting roles and, more recently, comic roles.
Personal life :-
Sadashiv Amrapurkar was born on 11 May 1950, in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra Shevgaon Taluka, Ahmednagar, Nashik Division, in Maharashtra, India.
Sadashiv began acting during his school and college days. While completing his Masters in History at Pune University, he was already pursuing his passion in theatre. A versatile actor, director and writer, he won a number of state as well as national level prestigious awards in theatre and film. His first film was in Govind Nihalani's Ardha Satya (1983) for which he won a Filmfare Award.
He has acted in more than 300 movies in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, Haryanvi, Telugu and Tamil. In 1993, he won the best actor in a villainous role Filmfare Award, the first time such award was instituted. In 1993 he also played the role of Inspector Pyare Mohan, in Aankhen, which won him accolades as a comic hero.
He was a philanthropist, social activist, and civically engaged in a number of social organizations including:
Maharashtra Samajik Krutadnyata Nidhi: He worked with Narendra Dabholkar, Baba Adhav, and Sreeram Lagoo to raise Rs.50 Lakhs through enactment of the play Lagnachi Bedi in Maharashtra and Goa. This was a fund created to support the social workers who toiled for the betterment of society without asking for anything in return.
Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti: He was a trustee and an active participant in the Committee for Eradication of Blind Faith.
Snehalaya, Ahmednagar: He was a trustee for this organization striving for betterment of marginalized women such as prostitutes and their children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Narmada Bachao Andolan: He worked alongside Medha Patkar for the reestablishment of people displaced by the building of the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the banks of the river Narmada.
Lokshahi Prabodhan Vyaspeeth: A non-political, non-denominational platform to create awareness about voter rights and democracy among the common masses. He held talks and forums to create awareness.
Ahmednagar Aitihasik Vastu Sangrahalaya He raised funds for the Museum of Historical Artifacts of Ahmednagar,
He supported non-profit organizations like the www.healthymind.org Institute for Psychological Health, Thane; www.muktangan.orgMuktangan Rehabilitation Center, and Pune, through fundraising and mental health awareness.
He has always had a soft spot for the rural youth and has strived for their development. He took initiative in collaborating with Institute for Psychological Health in Thane to organize VEDH (Vocational Education – Direction and Harmony), a conference for school children, parents and teachers about the latest career options in Ahmednagar, once a year, for the past decade.
An ardent reader and a patron of Marathi and Hindi books, he wrote a number of articles on social issues in newspapers and magazines and published books, like Kimayagaar (a play about the life of Helen Keller) and Abhinayaache Saha Path ("Six Lessons in Acting").
In addition to directing and acting in theater, and engaging in a number of social causes, he loved photography and spent his free time sketching with pastels. He was a dear friend to many, an eloquent orator, and a sensitive human being who raised his voice to support righteous causes and denounce the ills in the Indian society. He is survived by his writer wife, Sunanda Amrapurkar, three daughters, and three sons-in-law.
Acting Career :-
Amrapurkar started his career as an actor in Marathi theatre, eventually acting and directing nearly fifty plays, before transitioning to films. He made his film debut with the role of Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 22 June 1897 a Marathi historical film directed by Jayoo Patwardhan and Nachiket Patwardhan.
He won a number of awards in theatre and film. His first film was Govind Nihalani's Ardha Satya (1983), for which he won a Filmfare Award. He has acted in more than 300 movies in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, Haryanvi, Telugu and Tamil. In 1993, he won the Filmfare award for Best Actor in a villainous role, the first time this award was instituted.
In 1981-82, Amarapurkar acted in a Marathi stage play, Hands-Up!, alongside stage actors Avinash Masurekar and Bhakti Barve-Inamdar. This play was successful and Amrapurkar was noticed by director Govind Nihalani who was searching for an actor to play the central negative character in his movie Ardh Satya. The movie went on to be a hit and Amrapurkar's acting was appreciated. His style of dialog delivery was considered unique as compared to the popular Hindi movie villains in those days. Amrapurkar won a Filmfare Award for his performance in the film.
After Ardha Satya, Amarapurkar starred in Purana Mandir, Nasoor, Muddat, Jawani, and Khamosh. In 1987, he starred as the main villain in Dharamendra starrer Hukumat which went on to be a blockbuster that grossed even more than Mr. India. From 1988 he increasingly appeared in villainous roles in films like Mohre, Khatron Ke Khiladi, Kaal Chakra, Eeshwar, Elaan-E-Jung, Farishtay, Veeru Dada, Naaka Bandi, and Begunaah.
In the mid-1990s he migrated towards supporting roles and comic roles such as in Aankhen, Ishq, Coolie No. 1, Gupt: The Hidden Truth, Aunty No. 1, Jai Hind, Master and Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United. He played the role of Dr. Khanna in the 1996 film Chhote Sarkar. He did a number of stunning roles in Marathi films such as Kadachit, Vaastupurush, Doghi, Savarkhed ek Gaav, and Ara Ara Aaba Ata tari Thamba. His last Hindi screen role was a cameo in the short film by Dibakar Banerjee, Bombay Talkies (2012).
He did a cameo in the Waheeda Rahman-starrer Swayam in 1991. He played the role of a tough, upright cop who reprimands his children for leaving an elderly widow to fend for herself on the streets. The film touched on the problems old people face with the breakdown of the joint family system. It was a subject close to Sadashiv's heart and he did the role for free.
Amrapurkar was a philanthropist, social activist, and was engaged in a number of social organizations like Samajik Krutadnyata Nidhi, Andhashraddha Nirmulan Samiti, Snehalaya, Lokshahi Prabodhan Vyaspeeth, Ahmednagar Aitihasik Vastu Sangrahalaya and many others. He always had a soft spot for the rural youth and strove for their development.
In March 2013, he protested water waste during Holi festival near his residence in Mumbai.
Despite playing a variety of roles in Bollywood, and winning awards for his performances, Amrapurkar's heart was somewhere else; he wanted to use his skills and resources for social causes. As a performer, he was talented and hard working. But he was more of a social activist than an actor. Amrapurkar also lent his support to the Anna Hazare movement in 2011 and was active in engaging citizens during the 2009 Lok Sabha elections by holding several discussions to make voters aware of their rights.
Illness and death :-
Sadashiv Amrapurkar developed a lung inflammation in October 2014 resulting in hospitalisation at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where his condition became critical.He died on 3 November 2014, 64 years old.

I hope you enjoy this little guest post from Dana. Her imagination wanders in a way that's similar to some other fun trips we've taken with Goldilocks, the Princess and the Pea, and others. Please visit Dana's blog; she's been a great ally to our effort here for a long time and significant voice of hope and reason and humor.
I don't know about you, but I think those words about Rheumatoid Arthritis quite often. RA is sneaky. You may feel fine one day, and wake up the next day hardly able to get out of bed. Symptoms come on suddenly, often when you're least expecting it. It comes on without warning, yet somehow slinks to the shadows during doctor's visits (the physician presence effect?). It may feel bad, but not look bad. You may have symptoms, but not the blood work to verify your diagnoses. It's sneaky all right.
RA is very "tricksy" too.
I think the "tricksiest" part about Rheumatoid Arthritis is that it seldom looks or acts consistently. It's different for each person, and it's different within each person day to day or over time. Read all of the RA onset stories and you'll notice that no two of them are alike. Different symptoms manifest in different patients. There is a broad range in the severity of the disease and how quickly it progresses. Some treatments work great for some people with RA; different treatments work well for other patients; some patients aren't helped by any current treatments. Sometimes moving makes you feel better; sometime moving makes you feel worse. For some, the symptoms come and go, in a series of flares and lulls without any apparent rhyme or reason. For others, it's a constant state of flare, with no real relief in sight. Some people can identify triggers for their flares, but again, it's not the same for everybody.
What "trickses" has Rheumatoid Arthritis been playing on you lately?
Airport, Storms, and DMV: April Fool's!
That if I just try harder I can be like everyone else and "not letting people down" won't be such a driving force. Trying hard probably just makes me flare worse. Very tricksie!
I was thinking about that one a lot today Arlene. Got a couple of emails in the last month to that effect: just try harder.
My RA journey just started in December, but I've learned that its an overnight monster. I woke up with carpal tunnel in both hands, have had two surgeries. I woke up with it in my shoulders, and now I have limited range of motion. Most recently (like three weeks ago) I woke up with my toe sticking straight up. Turns out I've ripped a tendon and will be facing my 9th foot surgery. It is the most tricksy thing I've ever encountered.
My latest RA "trickses" has been that after having this disease for years, it has affected a new joint that has me in agony at times. The sternoclavicular joint must play a very important part indeed, as it hurts badly when i breathe, move my arm or shoulder, neck or turn the head. I am looking for that golden ring. Til then, my rheum injected the joint and placed me in a shoulder immobilizer, plus an additional burst of oral steroids.
Great work, Dana!Thanks for the article.
Great post and one that I too have contemplated on my blog…so curious how all of us ponder this issue with RA…great post!
Tonight, I resigned from the community symphony orchestra. I was invited to join in October, two weeks before I was slammed with symptoms that would lead to my diagnosis. Tonight I'm mad at this trickster that kept me hoping with a few good days scattered here and there, days when my fingers moved with quickness and agility, that I could continue. However, after rehearsals for the breakoff chamber group Tuesday night, I've been in bed for two days, recovering, with hands that wouldn't allow me to practice the orchestra's music. I finally faced facts. In anticipation of this day, I talked to the concert mistress previously, and I'll attempt to fill a role as the orchestra's music librarian, at least maintaining my contact with others who love music, but it won't be the same as sitting among them.
Feeling so sad for you Linda. I hope you get another chance one day!
How hard that muat be for you – bt glad to see you are going to continue on as the orchestra's music librarian – RA continues to pull these nasty tricks on us warriors but we have each other to rely on and encourage us on this unwanted journey! I will keep you in my Prayers and sending gentle hugs.
I've read the Hobbit and Trilogy and appreciate the analogies–I'm more of a Harry Potter fan and see this disease as a huge group of Dementors, sucking all happiness and enjoyment out of life. It's like the disease is trying to take our souls, which is, after all, our lives (now and before RA) as well as the souls and lives of those who support us. Thanks for this understanding post!
You know, Kelly, I have to thank you, though, for all the posts and comments that helped me to move from denial: I don't really have RA (despite positive ANA, high RF and anti-CCP antibodies), the medications will quickly bring me back to normal, and all those sorts of things. This blog pushed me to decide where I would expend my now-limited energy, and I'm grateful for that push. I could give up keeping the house clean–which I had to give up anyway–but, ultimately, I didn't want to expend all my energy on trying to accomplish something that was no longer achievable. I have five young grandchildren who want to spend time with me. I have a novel to finish if I ever hope to have my fiction published again. I'm a good writer but I had to face the truth that I'm not going to progress with my violin playing.
Ultimately, I'm also grateful that I began violin lessons at 58 and then jumped at the chance to be in the orchestra when I was invited, rather than waiting until I thought I was ready. My daughters and grandchildren saw that they can still have dreams for themselves at 61. I'm sad and coming back next week as the orchestra's librarian rather than as a violinist will admittedly be tough. However, after I wrote that comment, I sat on the back porch with a book downloaded to a netbook, reading as twilight descended, my golden retrievers at my feet. Because of the forum you provide, I knew that I had been heard when I wrote that comment, that others understood. My so-not-touchy-feely husband has been attentive. I've been struggling with this decision for months, so it felt peaceful. Thanks again for all you do.
Here's a trickster for me that's becoming far too common: Perhaps it's been discussed before on Kelly's blog, but I've missed it. Some days, my brain feels like mush or scrambled–for lack of a better way to describe– making it nearly impossible to work, even on days when there are only aches and stiffness, no severe pain. I'm uncoordinated, clumsy, and more… And the day moves along seemingly in slow motion, my brain not fully functioning. Those days are becoming more frequent and intense. So I did brief research and recently found a report online on a study that found cognitive decline in 30% of RA patients, regardless of disability or length of time since diagnosis. Do others experience this? Is that part of the malaise of RA?
Terri, I think it took many months for my diagnosis because I wasn't even mentioning joint pain to my doctors. All 61-year-olds have joint pain, was my assumption, and, besides, I was so used to pain, I didn't even register it as a symptom worth mentioning. It was the stumbling, clumsiness, fatigue and mental fog that were my biggest concerns and primary symptoms. When the neurologist I had seen asked me what were my main concerns, that's what I mentioned. Thank goodness, she realized what was happening and ran the first tests for an autoimmune disorder. So, you're not alone.
Thank you, Linda. Again, it's reassuring to know we're not alone, and others experience some of the same symptoms.
So Humira started failing in January this year and I switched to weekly dose from every other week. That held until May. Then my CRP jumped to the highest it had been, ever, on Humira, then stiffness returned. As May turned to June the symptoms of RA trended to include the bigger joints as well as hands & feet, fatigue set in again. I decided to switch to Enbrel. Although the Humira was still working somewhat it was a far cry from how it had worked 9 months ago and I thought it in my best interest to switch before complete failure; I wanted to be strong coming into what may be a run of flaring as we made the change. Also I'd promised myself when I was diagnosed to treat my RA aggressively and always go for remission.
Now for the trickses part….After I'd made the decision to switch bios my CRP dropped to normal and within just a few decimals of my all time low. Then in the days following my last injection (June 23rd), my stiffness eased and many symptoms improved.
For the last two weeks I've been REALLY second guessing my decision… what if I'd been on the edge of remission? What if I just blew my chances forever?
Well I did my first shot of Enbrel yesterday. I am hoping that my RA was only doing it's usual trickses. I think it's important that we look at several months of flare trending when switching treatments. Over the last 6 months my treatment has been failing, that's the big picture. It was hard not to throw a good decision out the window because I felt better for a few days…..RA is so tricksee that way.
I can attest to the "tricksiness" of RA. I helped a friend pack a moving truck this past weekend, and was almost what one could consider "normal" throughout the process. Yesterday, when everything was done, I felt the RA pain and fatigue hit like a ton of bricks. Literally, I went from being in the OK range at breakfast time to being unable to break a piece of romaine lettuce off the stalk at lunch. My immediate family understood and knew what to do. My MIL thought I was just being lazy and anti-social. Chalk one up for RA making relationships more challenging.
I am currently waiting on results from blood work and x-rays of my hands and feet. I have an appointment with my RA specialist next Wednesday. I am new to this site and I can already see that it will be very helpful. From what I have already read I am experiencing some of the common and not so common symptoms of RA; although I have not been officially diagnosed. Yes I totally agree "RA is Tricksy"; I have good and bad days. I look totally normal to my family; until I wait up with that "look" that something is just not right. As I am typing this post my left wrist is making a "popping" sound as if the bones in there needed some WD-40 to lubricate… I've also experienced migraines; shooting "electric" type pain in my right leg and a weird numbness in the toes between my big toe and pinky toe in my left foot. Well, let's see what the Doc say next Wednesday. Thank you Kelly for this wonderful site full of great information and encouragement!!!
Great idea Suzie, I'll try to figure out how to make the fire appear. 😉 Ideas?


You guys, my baby hates to sleep.
Wait, that's not exactly true. He hates going to sleep.
You know how you see people post those truly adorable photos of their babies conked out on playmats or in highchairs or on their mamas' chests? Every time I see one of those, my heart kind of feels how it felt when Dobby died. If I looked over and saw my baby asleep on his playmat, I would probably rush him to the ER. No, this baby has to be gotten to sleep. In fact, Caleb and I have spent full days of our lives bouncing, shushing, patting, stroking, singing, rocking, cuddling, and praying fervently. Our baby has spent whole days of his life wide awake. There's just too many ceiling fans to examine and far too much of the world he hasn't yet drooled on to go to sleep. He communicates this by screaming any time you make the slightest motion that might suggest you're thinking about beginning Nap Time.
To "fix" the problem, I've read the baby sleep books. I've read the blog posts and Instagram posts and Facebook posts. My major takeaway was that we needed to create a nap time routine so that Emerson would understand when it's time to sleep (they call these "sleep cues.") So we hung blackout curtains, put a fan and a sound machine in our bedroom, gave him a soft blankie to snuggle, bought a rocking chair, and started swaddling him at nap time so that he would get it. And boy does he get it. Every time we even get near my bedroom (where he still sleeps), he starts to whimper. The great news is that it worked; that is, he won't go to sleep at all now unless his routine is followed carefully, especially the fervent prayers part. Also, it's important to note that our offspring gets reeeeally cranky when he doesn't nap.
Sometimes he's not. Sometimes, I ease the door closed, tiptoe into the living room, and pick up the baby monitor to see wide, bright eyes staring at me. I won't lie–this has made me cry more times than I care to admit. I've sobbed as I tiptoed back in, picked him up, and started the process over.
But all that rocking gives time for reflection. And one day, after whining to Caleb about how many hours per day I spend trying to get Emerson to sleep, I had myself a good old rocking chair revelation. (Those probably only exist south of the Mason-Dixon): I could hate this season of rocking. Or I could embrace it.
For me, embracing it doesn't mean sitting, staring, soaking up the joy of rocking my baby. (I love to rock my baby, but trust me, I've spent lots of time staring at his sweet little face. I know, I know. They grow so fast.) For me, it's more about not letting my day get shoved in the dumpster if he decides to wake up 10 minutes after I put him down; even more than that, it's about celebrating when he takes a nap.
Before this season of my life, I was in one of big victories. Over the course of a few years, I graduated college, moved to a new city, found an awesome job, got married, added two cats and a couple humans to the mix, moved again. It was chock full of stuff happening, of meeting deadlines and making decisions. But now, I'm spending three hours a day sitting, rocking. It's easy to feel defeated when you don't even get a sleeping baby out of that. It's even easier to forget to rejoice when you do.
One day soon, we're going to have to teach Emerson how to go to sleep by himself. We know that's the right decision for everyone in the house. But today, I'm rocking, counting up every single remarkable thing I can think of and that–that is making all the difference.
I used to read my books out loud to my kids when I rocked them. It seemed to sooth them and I felt productive.

Home Old Posts The queer politics of writing on race
The queer politics of writing on race
When Sue O'Connell, the publisher and editor of the Boston-based LGBTQ newspaper "Bay Window, which I also write for, penned her piece "Sharing our experience: White gay men and black men have more in common than they think" a firestorm erupted. Evidence of the conflagration was not only seen on the paper's website but it was also buzzed about around town.
Responses to the piece created a deluge of criticism ranging from thoughtful advice to damning personal attacks. The fury O'Connell's piece ignited raised for me this query: "Can white LGBTs suggest or give advice to communities of color from their own experiences of discrimination?"
It's a polemic that has been avoided because of the politics of political correctness as well as how any discussion on race, no matter who's stirring the conversation—a rabid racist, the president or Attorney General Eric Holder– invariably inflame our emotions more that inform our faculties.
Many communities of color contest that white people- straight or LGBT— show no real vested interest in engaging in this country's needed dialogue on race. And many whites have confessed their aversion to such a dialogue, stating that while a cultural defense of "white guilt" plays a role in their reticence so too does their cultural fear of "black rage" for inadvertently saying the wrong thing.
What further complicates the dialogue on race is a perceived as well as a real avalanche of attacks coming from communities of color spewing how whites are as unconsciously racist as they are incurably so. This, too, leaves the needed dialogue on race in the balance.
But with the dominate LGBT community's continued indelicate dance of white privilege and single-issue platforms thwarting efforts for coalition building with communities of color the notion, for some people of color, that white marginalized and struggling groups (white women, LGBT, the poor, to name a few) in this country might have something to offer communities of color in terms of advice and/ or shared (not same) experiences appears absolutely preposterous.
And it is also equally absurd to think that they don't.
But how, then, do we, as an entire LGBT community, broach our needed dialogue on race?
My answer: past harms need to be redressed.
For example, civil rights struggles in this country, unfortunately, have primarily been understood and demonstrated as tribal and unconnected rather than intersectional and interdependent.
As for our queer community one way to broach our needed dialogue on race is to address white LGBTs appropriating from people of color's history of struggle and then whitewashing it as solely their own.
Case-in- point, the inspiration and source of an LGBT movement post- Stonewall is an appropriation of a black, brown, trans, and queer liberation narrative and struggle. The Stonewall Riot of June 27 to 29, 1969 in Greenwich Village started on the backs of working- class African- American and Latino queers who patronized that bar. Those brown and black LGBT people are not only absent from the photos of those nights but they also have been bleached from its written history. Many LGBT blacks and Latinos continue to argue that one of the reasons for the gulf between whites and themselves is the fact that the dominant queer community rewrote and continues to control the narrative of Stonewall.
For many years I taught a college- level course titled "Power and Privilege," exploring how many of our stereotypes about people whom we perceive as being different invades our lives without much conscious deliberation on our part. Issues of race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, age and ability, among others, were considered, and how such distinctions often lead to an inequitable distribution of political power, social well- being, and the resources available to individual members of society.
On the syllabus I laid out the rules regarding classroom interaction:
1. We will address our colleagues in our classroom by name.
2. We will listen to one another— patiently, carefully— assuming that each one of us is always doing the best that s/he can. We will speak thoughtfully. We will speak in the first person.
3. Although our disagreements may be vigorous, they will not be conducted in a win-lose manner. We will take care that all participants are given the opportunity to engage in the conversation.
4. We will own our assumptions, our conclusions, and their implications. We will be open to another's intellectual growth and change.
5. We cannot be blamed for misinformation we have been taught and have absorbed from our U.S. society and culture, but we will be held responsible for repeating misinformation after we have learned otherwise.

And It's A Dream Journal, Too
I love dream journals. Dreams may be convoluted and bizarre, but they posses an unmistakable character that leaves little doubt about their origin. Since this seems to be David Byrne Week around here, it stands to reason that today's topic of interest would have something to do with him, and of course his Web journal. One of the journal categories happens to be dreams, and although there isn't as much going on in this category as there is in some of the others, the material is highly entertaining. I especially like the first entry in the series, dated 29 March 2005.
Paul Simon and I are walking outdoors. In a city — New York, maybe. He has a weird bandage around his head, covering one side of his jaw, like those old cartoons of people with a toothache. When we near groups of people approaching he pulls up his shirt and covers his entire head — only one eye peeking out.
It just gets better—and in true dream-fashion, more bizarre—from there; weird visuals ensue. And then there's the Gumby dream, with its inexplicable yet familiar anxiety component. The dry water sequence is considerably more involved, as is Jerusalem Mobile, although the latter seems more universally familiar with its love lost, desperation results theme. It's the epitome of symbolism.
I reach for my mobile to call this woman, only to find it has been crushed, and as I try to hold its pieces together to find her number it slowly crumbles and nasty chemicals leak onto my hands, Chinese characters appear briefly on the screen…all I want is the last number I dialed, which was hers, but the phone is disintegrating in my hands. I imagine I will lose the love of my life. A feeling of desperation.
The brief appearance of those Chinese characters as the phone turns to goo is magnificent, and of course the whole thing playing out in Jerusalem doesn't hurt.
It's a good thing I discovered Mr. B's Web journal when I did, because the lingering effects of nearly two weeks of Sudafed—it's been the cold from hell—have discombobulated my jimjam. Me am writing not good, but reading we are possible.

Oxfam reaction to EU failure to extend arms embargo on Syria beyond August
Conflict and War, Refugees and Internal Displacement
European Union Foreign Ministers failed last night to extend the EU arms embargo on Syria as it stands. They decided, however, not to lift it before August 1st and set a number of conditions.
In reaction, Oxfam's Head of Arms Control, Anna Macdonald, said:
"Oxfam is disappointed that the EU will not extend its arms embargo on Syria as it stands. Ministers sent out mixed signals. What was needed was an unequivocal stance that the EU will do everything it can to stop the bloodshed and prevent a deadly arms race in Syria, which would have devastating humanitarian consequences."
"We welcome the EU's willingness to prioritise the pursuit of a political solution and its strong commitment for human rights and international humanitarian law. However, European governments should be using their influence to secure a halt to international arms transfers from all governments to any warring party in Syria."
"This decision does not give the green light to any member states who want to supply arms to groups in Syria. As clearly laid out in the EU Common Position on Arms Transfers, any transfers must be subject to full risk assessment procedures against the risks of arms being used for violations of human rights and humanitarian law."
Oxfam has been advocating to bring the arms trade under control for more than a decade and played a crucial role in the campaign to secure a robust Arms Trade Treaty. Under the new treaty – which was passed by majority vote at the UN in April this year and opens for signature next week on June 3 – arms transfers must not be authorised where there is a major risk the weapons will be used to commit violations of human rights or international humanitarian law. Both European countries and all other 156 states that voted in favour of this landmark treaty need to live up to its principles.

31. If you have seven white socks and nine black socks in a drawer, how many socks do you have to pull out blindly in order to ensure that you have a matching pair?
if the first one is one color (say, white), and the second one is the other color (black), then the third one, no matter what the color, will make a matching pair. (Sometimes you're not supposed to think that hard.)
33. Describe your work style?
Describe the positive aspects of your work style if possible, including: work ethic, attention to detail, interpersonal skills, skill sets (analytical or otherwise), leadership abilities, communication skills.
34. What do you consider to be your weaknesses?
What your interviewer is really trying to do with this question-beyond identifying any major red flags-is to gauge your self-awareness and honesty. So, "I can't meet a deadline to save my life In ITT Goulds Pumps" is not an option-but neither is "Nothing! I'm perfect!" Strike a balance by thinking of something that you struggle with but that you're working to improve. For example, maybe you've never been strong at public speaking, but you've recently volunteered to run meetings to help you be more comfortable when addressing a crowd.
35. How would you describe your approach to ITT Goulds Pumps?
In more general terms, a question such as this gives a candidate the opportunity to talk about their professional philosophy and skills. While the question is general in nature, the best answers are usually quite specific, picking one or two points and exemplifying them with instances from personal history.
37. How do you inspire others to be better?
First, the key to inspiring others it to first understand what their goals and objectives are. Once you understand what people want, you can inspire them with a vision that aligns to what they care about. People generally care about having purpose, being successful (and being recognized for it), contributing in a meaningful way, and financial rewards (to a degree) and much more. Then once you understand what people set as goals, you can inspire them through 1:1 pep talks, a presentation to multiple people and so forth.
38. Did the salary we offer attract you to this job?
The interviewer could be asking you this question for a number of reasons. Obviously, the salary is an important factor to your interest in this job, but it should not be the overriding reason for your interest. A good answer to this question is, "The salary was very attractive, but the job itself is what was most attractive to me."
39. Do you have the ability to articulate a vision and to get others involved to carry it out?
If yes, then share an example of how you've done so at work or college. If not, then discuss how you would do so. Example: "I would first understand the goals of the staff members and then I would align those to the goals of the project / company. Then I would articulate the vision of that alignment and ask them to participate. From there, we would delegate tasks among the team and then follow up on a date and time to ensure follow through on the tasks. Lastly, we would review the results together."
40. If you could offer suggestions on how to improve our company, what would you say?
Examine the trends of the company and also where there may be some weaknesses (news articles often document this on public companies or look at their competitors to see how they're positioning it against them.) Then, once you have that knowledge, think creatively on how you could improve upon that weakness for them.
42. Where do you see yourself in five years In ITT Goulds Pumps?
If asked this question, be honest and specific about your future goals, but consider this:
A hiring manager wants to know
☛ a) if you've set realistic expectations for your career,
☛ b) if you have ambition (a.k.a., this interview isn't the first time you're considering the question), and
☛ c) if the position aligns with your goals and growth. Your best bet is to think realistically about where this position could take you and answer along those lines. And if the position isn't necessarily a one-way ticket to your aspirations?
It's OK to say that you're not quite sure what the future holds, but that you see this experience playing an important role in helping you make that decision.
43. Would you describe yourself as more analytical or interpersonal?
If you answer either, just make sure you explain why. For example, "I would consider myself to be more analytical because I'm good at examining a data set and then understanding how to interpret it in a business environment." or "I'm more of interpersonal person because I enjoy working and collaborating with my teammates and clients"
44. Describe a time where you've failed and bounced back?
Share a story to describe this. For example: "I accidentally made the mistake of telling a customer I could deliver on a solution set on a certain date and then later found out our business partner couldn't do it on that time. I learned that I shouldn't rush into important decisions and promises like this and that I should always check with my counterparts first before committing to a statement of work."
45. Do you value recognition or pay more? Why?
Either preference is fine, but just remember you have to be able to explain why. If you say recognition, then back that up by describing how achievement really carries weight with you and how you like to feel valued in the work that you do because it validates that you're helping your teammates / customers and so forth. If you choose money, you can also explain that is important to you as validation and you can highlight how money is important to you because of your goals (financial security, providing for your family, and so forth). The key is to be authentic with your answer. However, if you say you value pay more because you're greedy - know that doesn't align usually to most company's values/vision.
46. How do you imagine a typical day of an employee in our company In ITT Goulds Pumps?
Just do not say that you imagine to only walk and watch what people do. Rather try to show them your attention to details and proactive attitude to job. Mention that you would try to observe the problems, weaknesses as well as opportunities to improve the results and take measures according to it.
47. Why were you fired?
OK, if you get the admittedly much tougher follow-up question as to why you were let go (and the truth isn't exactly pretty), your best bet is to be honest (the job-seeking world is small, after all). But it doesn't have to be a deal-breaker. Share how you've grown and how you approach your job and life now as a result. If you can position the learning experience as an advantage for this next job, even better.
48. What are your thoughts on failure?
Failure happens. It's a part of life. The key is understanding that you can't be perfect at everything and more importantly you're going to learn from failures to come out stronger.
49. What are your lifelong dreams?
If your dreams don't relate to the job closely, make sure you highlight aspects of the job that will help develop the skills that will help you with your dreams. Ideally, you want your dreams to relate strongly to the career path you're interviewing for though.
50. Why do you feel you will excel at rhis job?
This question presents an excellent opportunity for you to discuss your education, qualifications and personal traits. You might say something like "I studied property management as well as behavior during my college years and I have two years' experience in real estate.
I can gauge the homes or apartments in which clients will be interested based solely upon the needs of their families. Finally, my organizational skills will allow me to schedule appointments or showings confidently and arrive for them punctually." This shows your interviewer that you have all of the skills necessary to become successful not only for yourself, but also for your employer.
51. Why should the we hire you as this position In ITT Goulds Pumps?
This is the part where you link your skills, experience, education and your personality to the job itself. This is why you need to be utterly familiar with the job description as well as the company culture. Remember though, it's best to back them up with actual examples of say, how you are a good team player.
52. What would your first 30, 60, or 90 days look like in this role In ITT Goulds Pumps?
53. Do you work well under pressure?
Yes.. When it comes down to the wire, the best thing I can to remain focused, have some flexibility, and understand priorities.. Giving them attention in the order they are needed.
54. Describe to me the position In ITT Goulds Pumps you're applying for?
55. Give an example of a time you successfully worked In ITT Goulds Pumps on a team?
On the whole I prefer to stick to doing what I'm told rather than setting myself up to fail by doing things off my own bat. But there was this one time when I suggested to my boss at the pizza parlor that she try offering an 'all you can eat' deal to students to boost trade on Mondays. She thought it was an interesting idea but nothing ever came of it.
57. Describe a typical work week for this position In ITT Goulds Pumps?
Interviewers expect a candidate for employment to discuss what they do while they are working in detail. Before you answer, consider the position In ITT Goulds Pumps you are applying for and how your current or past positions relate to it. The more you can connect your past experience with the job opening, the more successful you will be at answering the questions.
58. What's the least rewarding work you've ever done and why?
Describe work you've done that you feel doesn't take advantage of your full potential. For example, "I once had to make paper copies for my job and I feel it didn't take full advantage of my skills. However, it did teach me to be humble in my work and to appreciate a good opportunity when it arose to use my skills"
59. Are you planning to continue your studies and training In ITT Goulds Pumps?
If asked about plans for continued education, companies typically look for applicants to tie independent goals with the aims of the employer. Interviewers consistently want to see motivation to learn and improve. Continuing education shows such desires, especially when potentials display interests in academia potentially benefiting the company.
Answering in terms of "I plan on continuing my studies in the technology field," when offered a question from a technology firm makes sense. Tailor answers about continued studies specific to desired job fields. Show interest in the industry and a desire to work long-term in said industry. Keep answers short and to the point, avoiding diatribes causing candidates to appear insincere.
61. What are your salary expectations In ITT Goulds Pumps?
62. How would you rate your communication and interpersonal skills for this job In ITT Goulds Pumps?
These are important for support workers. But they differ from the communication skills of a CEO or a desktop support technician. Communication must be adapted to the special ways and needs of the clients. Workers must be able to not only understand and help their clients, but must project empathy and be a warm, humane presence in their lives.
66. How do you keep each member of the team involved and motivated?
Many managers mistakenly think that money is the prime motivator for their employees. However, according to surveys by several different companies, money is consistently ranked five or lower by most employees. So if money is not the best way to motivate your team, what is?
Employees' three most important issues according to employees are:
☛ Respect
☛ A sense of accomplishment
☛ Recognition
67. What would you like to have accomplished by the end of your career?
Think of 3 major achievements that you'd like to accomplish in your job when all is said and done - and think BIG. You want to show you expect to be a major contributor at the company. It could be creating a revolutionary new product, it could be implementing a new effective way of marketing, etc.
69. What's your salary history?
When you are interviewing for a new job, it is common practice for the company to ask you about your salary history. I typically want to know what the candidate's base salary is, if they receive any bonus, the average bonus amount, and any additional compensation or perks, such as 500k matching, stock grants or stock options, paid time off and how much they are required to pay towards their medical premiums.
70. What is your greatest weakness In ITT Goulds Pumps? What are you doing to improve it?
I believe my biggest weakness In ITT Goulds Pumps is wanting to help anyone I can help. What I mean is I am willing to take on task that are not my job. I want to learn all I can. However, that has helped me get promoted or even asked to help in times of need in other department. I have been know as the "go to person" when help is needed.
72. Do you think you have enough experience In ITT Goulds Pumps?
If you do not have the experience they need, you need to show the employer that you have the skills, qualities and knowledge that will make you equal to people with experience but not necessary the skills. It is also good to add how quick you can pick up the routine of a new job role.
73. How good are you at problem solving?
Describe the problem first and then discuss how you were able to fix it.
74. How would you observe the level of motivation of your subordinates?
Choosing the right metrics and comparing productivity of everyone on daily basis is a good answer, doesn't matter in which company you apply for a supervisory role.
75. What problems have you encountered at work?
Wow, do we have problems! Where do I begin? Well, most of the problems are internal, just people not working well with each other. I have one person on our team who is a real problem, but it seems like management is afraid to do anything about it. So we all end up having to do extra work to cover for this person, who just doesn't work. We all say that he's retired in place. I think he's just holding on until retirement in a couple years. But he's a real problem. I complain about it--a lot--but nothing ever seems to get done. I've even written negative reviews about the person, hoping he will get canned, but it doesn't happen. I can't wait for him to retire.

Partnership puts summer food site on wheels in Omaha
by Nic Swiercek on 06/13/2013 in Economic Justice • 0 Comments
Note: Thousands of children in Nebraska are food insecure and struggle to get enough to eat in the summer months when they are out of school. Summer Food Service Program sites across the state do amazing work helping feed kids each year to make sure they don't go hungry. During "National Summer Food Service Program Week," we will feature several of these sites that help feed Nebraska kids each summer.
The Kids Cruisin' Kitchen is a mobile food truck operated by a partnership of Food Bank for the Heartland, The Salvation Army, and Hunger Free Heartland
In Omaha, there are many sites in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) that help feed hungry kids each summer, but several organizations recently joined together in a partnership that puts summer meals on wheels to deliver right to where children already are gathered.
Food Bank for the Heartland, The Salvation Army, and Hunger Free Heartland joined forces to start the Kids Cruisin' Kitchen – a mobile food truck that has served nutritious meals free of charge to kids for the last three years.
The Kids Cruisin' Kitchen uses a pair of the Salvation Army's disaster relief trucks, each equipped with a mobile kitchen, to serve meals to children in Omaha areas with low-income families. Both trucks serve meals at three different sites in Omaha for 30 minutes per site each weekday. Mobile sites are in areas where qualified kids already are likely to be such as apartment complexes, trailer parks, or public parks.
See a list of the Kids Cruisin Kitchen locations in Omaha for this summer.
James Farley, a Food Bank for the Heartland employee who supervised the Kids Cruisin' Kitchen program the previous two summers, said children came to know the trucks and program staff members so well they often would be waiting outside when the food truck arrived.
"They're really polite and respectful," James said. "They line up and say thank you."
Beginning this year, a food vendor has provided meals for the Kids Cruisin' Kitchen. Once the truck arrives at a serving site, the staff uses the truck's mobile kitchen to heat the food to safe temperatures.
James said each truck served between 40-50 meals each day on average, occasionally serving as many as 100 meals in a day. Site staff often would lay out blankets on the ground so children could enjoy their meals picnic-style.
The Kids Cruisin' Kitchen staff created such a positive experience, the children gave them a signed photo to say thank you for helping provide meals in the summer. The experience was so moving, James said, that he is looking for more flexibility in his work with Food Bank of the Heartland so he can be more involved with the program next summer.
Children served by the Kids Cruisin' Kitchen gave supervisor James Farley this signed picture to say thank you for serving meals one summer.
"It's a good opportunity to reach out to other kids and give back to the community," James said.
In addition to helping operate the Kids Cruisin' Kitchen, the Salvation Army operates a number of SFSP sites to help feed children in Omaha. Appleseed visited the Salvation Army – North Corps (2424 Pratt St., Omaha) last week and witnessed the coordinated effort that goes into serving more than 1,000 meals to children each month in the summer.
The North Corps site feeds most of its children through a summer camp program, but it is also an open site, which means any child from the neighborhood under age 18 can receive a meal free of charge because North Corps is in a community where a majority of the children qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch.
Jim Sells, Program Director for Salvation Army – North Corps, said his site has nearly doubled the number of meals it serves each day in the summer over the last two years.
"We're glad we're here," Jim said. "That's what we're here for. We're glad to serve the kids and their families."
The Salvation Army – North Corps will feed more than 1,000 children meals this summer and also runs a meal service for adults.
The North Corps meal program, which also includes a Kare Kitchen that feeds adults, has grown in popularity as the site has increased the number of fresh ingredients it serves with meals, according to Betty Cushing, who helps administer the program at North Corps. Betty and her husband often make trips to the Food Bank of the Heartland for fresh fruits and vegetables. Local restaurants often donate rice or bread, which North Corps can donate to local families in need.
"Some of our families really depend on the items we're able to give to them," Betty said.
There is a vibrant spirit from the kids as lunch is readied. Kids are laughing and chatting loudly. Several children play video games, while others shoot hoops on an indoor basketball hoop as volunteers prepare lunches of sloppy joes, corn, fresh tangerines, sliced peaches, and milk in the North Corps kitchen.
Staff at North Corps work hard to emphasize eating meals as a community experience. They encourage kids to eat together with staff and have conversations around the table. Collectively, this turns a quick lunch into a family setting.
"One of my main things I saw when I walked in here was these kids didn't get that meal component that we take for granted," Jim said. "Sitting down with the family, eating, and enjoying that experience. We take it for granted, but these kids don't experience that. So I want us to all sit together so the kids can interact with the staff."
Volunteers serve lunches to children at the Salvation Army – North Corps Summer Food Service Program site.
Betty adds: "I love coming back here at lunch time so you can just hear the positive vibe of kids in the summertime, hanging out with their friends. Just that rapport between the kids and the kitchen staff. It's fun."
To find out how to start a program to help kids in your community, contact the Nebraska Department of Education, which oversees the Summer Food Service Program in Nebraska, by calling (800) 731-2233, or visit the USDA's SFSP website. Together we can provide enough food for the hungry children in our communities.

Tectonics II has been evolving their craft in the custom home building business for over 30 years. In that time they have performed numerous remodeling projects, from small rooms and kitchens to whole houses. When remodeling, every project is unique and every project comes with it's own challenges. For Kristen and Glenn Martin of Nelson County's Stoney Creek, they wanted a home that popped and looked like something out of a magazine.
Tectonics and the Martins got to work and transformed a dated home into something that Picasso would have been proud of. A work of art that takes in the surrounding beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and enhances it to a spectacular degree.
The Redesign Project was Featured on C-Ville out of Charlottesville Virginia and we were given permission to repost it here.
When Kristen and Glenn Martin dropped their daughter off to begin her college career at the University of Virginia in 2013, they weren't planning on renovating a house in Nelson County's Stoney Creek development. But, less two years later, that's what the Pennsylvania residents found themselves doing.
"It was very outdated," says Glenn of the 1979 structure. A number of buyers had passed it by, but the Martins looked past its unappealing finishes and awkward layout. What they saw instead were great views: a pond down the hill and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west.
The renovated home they envisioned—and now occupy full-time—has an entirely different character than what they bought. Conceived as a showplace for the couple's excellent contemporary art collection, it's awash in gallery white. "Simplicity was the key," says Glenn.
The Martins, who did the design work themselves and enlisted the help of design-build firm Tectonics II for construction, found that the norms (and covenants) of Stoney Creek were not quite prepared to accommodate their vision of a strikingly modern house. While they were free to renovate the interior in any style, some of their notions for the exterior ran into roadblocks. Hardie Panel siding, for example, had to give way to more traditional-looking Hardie Plank.
More and larger windows, especially on the south side, which faces the pond, accomplished that goal. And the stripped-down color and materials palette let the outdoor vistas, and the artwork, do the talking.
The living room, dining room and kitchen received a more open layout, and a pair of skylights in the high, vaulted ceiling was enlarged. Together, these rooms make a strong, minimalist statement. The white of walls and trim is amplified by the flooring—Kahrs engineered wood in a white finish—which continues throughout the entire first floor and on the staircase to the second. Its virtue: "It sort of disappears," says Kristen.
The kitchen itself eschews upper cabinets and tucks the refrigerator (actually, two of them) under the counter, leaving room for an Alexander Calder piece at eye level. White Silestone countertops and white cabinets, crafted by local shop Heartwood, make the room ultra-sleek. The renovation here is a balance between simplification (i.e., turning a box window into a more standard window flush with the exterior wall) and upping the luxury factor, as when the Martins added a second sink.
The fireplace, previously located on the south wall, moved to an interior wall and became a double-sided fireplace that can be enjoyed from either the living room or the next-door den. This meant that the south wall could accommodate three large windows, the sweep of glass being a fitting accompaniment for classic modernist furniture such as Wassily, Barcelona and Eames lounge chairs. Floor lamps—something else the couple likes to collect—provide the lighting.
All the furniture in the house is vintage, collected at auctions and secondhand stores, and in some cases refurbished by Glenn. Many pieces are made of transparent Lucite. "I would have everything invisible if I could," says Kristen. "It makes a smaller space bigger," adds Glenn. They'd hoped to use Lucite for railings where the upstairs hallway overlooks the great room, but couldn't get approval from the county building inspector. Instead, they opted for the same material that forms deck railings outside: inexpensive stock fencing, which looks plenty modern but also reads as a nod to the local vernacular.
A double barn door—white, of course—glides open to reveal the first-floor master suite. Three new windows above the bed afford views of the Wintergreen ski slopes in winter, and a door opens onto a small private deck. Glass cube end tables echo the vanity with its Lucite legs.
In the bathroom, Heartwood repurposed a wooden mid-century credenza as a two-sink vanity. Small glass tiles make for a stripped-down shower design, and a small bumpout addition makes room for a walk-in closet and a bathroom enlargement.
With facelifts for the two remaining bathrooms, the interior renovation was essentially complete. The result is a cool, serene home in which objects, rather than the structure itself, draw the eye: animal skin rugs, guitars on display and, of course, art and furniture. "The art is the color of our house," says Glenn.

You can turn on almost any sports channel on tv and see guys hanging out in blinds and hunting stands looking for that prized animal. Well we've now found a video which they won't be showing on tv because its an amateur video taken by a hunter out on an excursion for black bears in Saskatchewan. These Canadians keep it much cooler than I would have. How would you like sharing a tree with this guy?
Skip to the second minute and enjoy the next few moments. What's the chance a larger bear shows up and chases the smaller bear up the exact tree you're hanging out in? Well that's the fortune of these guys.
Personally jumping out of the tree would've been appealing at many points but then you're just greeting a larger bear waiting below. These guys tough it out nicely and you can't help but be impressed by their Canadian kahonas. Making Father Nature proud.

Q: How to solve gmail spam filter issue We have a problem when sending emails to "gmail.com" domain. All of our emails end up in spam folder.
We do not send spam or bulk emails, so I would like to know is there a way to solve this issue.
I have browsed some topics and it appears we are not blacklisted, but the problem is in spam filtering.
Really don't know what do do next

A: There is no real solution. The best things you can do for now is to enable both SPF and DKIM for your domain/mail server, but google's filter is still pretty strict.
