Visit Sacred Sun Island on Lake Titicaca from Copacabana, Bolivia
Isla del Sol, the Island of the Sun, is the most famous island on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca. With breathtaking views and over 80 ancient ruins, visitors might just find themselves believing, as the Incas did, that the island is sacred.
Although archaeologists know that the island has been continuously inhabited since at least 2200 B.C., most of the island's ruins date back to the time of the Inca Empire. Some do date a little further back, to the time of the Tiwanaku Kingdom. The Inca believed the island to be the birthplace of their sun deity, and its Rock of the Puma was an important pilgrimage site for them.

What to Eat in Bolivia: Traditional Dishes & Street Food
April 30, 2016 Pirwa
Bolivian food is a vibrant fusion of Spanish and Aymara cuisine with some influence from the cultures of Italian, Arab, Russian, Pole, and German immigrants. The base of most meals won't come as a surprise, as it's the same as Bolivia's stock products: corn, potatoes, rice, quinoa, and beans. You'll find that meat and poultry is present in most meals, but used very sparingly, as a flavoring more than a large part of the meal itself.
Lunch is the most important meal of the day, which is why most businesses and shops close from 12 through 3pm.

The various components of our bodies are made to perform specific roles. Body parts will be functioning correctly if certain ways of life are practiced.read more here The normal operation of the body may not be supported in certain forms of life. There are certain things like stress which may be familiar to people. Stress is a natural reaction in the body to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. A body massage or rub will help to reduce stress. The benefits of massage and body rub are explained down here.
Blood flow to the legs can be regulated by getting a massage. Aging people will always have a problem when it comes to the flow of blood in the body.check it out It is crucial for aging people to device a mechanism which will increase blood circulation in their bodies. Aging comes in with bones infirming and becoming imbalanced. Body parts will be well positioned if blood circulation takes place well.
Muscles tighten and become harder as we age because we are less active. Massage will help to soften muscles and body tissues by increasing blood flow to such areas and reduce muscle tension. The sense of care and comfort got through massage makes many people gain interest in it. A feeling of connection will always be felt by aging people if a massage and body rub is done on them.
A body massage will be a stimulant to the nervous system. For the normal functioning of the nervous system, hormones and endorphins released in massage therapy will be of help. For all types of people, such hormones will be beneficial for the healthy body functioning. To increase body flexibility, a body massage and rub are necessary. Tightening of aging muscles will have to be attended to by helping them relax. Massage therapy softens up tight muscles and joints easing movement.
Massage and body rub has lately been used to ease stroke recovery. It had been believed that if you have a stroke, you should have forty-eight-hour bed rest. A massage will boost affected regions of a stroke patient. This will as well support the immune system. People who get massage will rarely get sick compared to those who do not. Massage releases a lot of toxins and dramatically supports the functioning of the immune system.
Sleep can be improved by massage. People without sleep are advised to go for a massage.more info Arthritis is known to have a lot of burning effects in the body. Having known that massage increases blood flow in the body, it helps in arthritis. As blood flows to joints, pain is relieved in the patient's body. The body will appreciate massage.


The first slide of the May 2017 Elevate Investor Presentation is the type of thing to make investors' ears tingle. President and CEO of Elevate, Ken Rees boasts over 15 years in the financial services industry and has a big exit to GE Financial under his belt. To his right is displayed Chris Lutes, Elevate CFO whose career path journeyed through PWC and the CFO role at Silicon Valley Bank. With the vision of a strong leadership team and a fresh IPO, Elevate is determinately reinventing non-prime credit with online products that provide financial relief today, and help people build a brighter financial future.
The vision statement is emotive, and the numbers are unavoidable. The Elevate portfolio of lending products – Rise and Elastic in the U.S., Sunny in the UK – have originated over $4 Billion in non prime loans. The company's revenue CAGR stands a tall 100% over the past three years, they're reliably increasing margins, and they've done it all with an 85%+ customer satisfaction rating.
Elevate has succeeded in a tough segment, many say, because it has identified its purpose and it works with focus to serve what Elevate has termed "The New Middle Class" — the roughly 170 million residents of the U.S. and U.K. with low or no credit scores who would otherwise turn to short term lenders in the event of a significant, unforeseen expense. Elevate is serving the group that's sitting between prime and sub-prime, but it is not doing so as a traditional lender – it's a self-proclaimed fintech that hails "Datascience as the vanguard" of its efforts.
A recent NYSE.com article pointed out that "Elevate's speed is one of its key advantages," touting the ability "to approve most loans within seconds while staying on the right side of compliance" (a process which is ~95% fully automated). To which Eric VonDohlen, SVP Chief Analytics Officer, added: "If we start to see things in data we don't like, we can react in days, not months, and still conform to all the governance requirements." Elevate's goal in its data refinement is to shrink charge-off rates, a challenge for many in the non-prime space.
Overall, Elevate is positioned as a growing, tech-forward, and responsible alternative to subprime lenders and has established for itself a significant competitive advantage through its data and analytics stack. Elevate has only "touched about one percent" of its target market, and is not stopping now.

Britney Spears' 'Work Bitch': The 10 Best Things About The New Single
9/16/2013 by Jason Lipshutz
On Sunday (Sept. 15), Britney Spears returned with "Work Bitch," a strange, British-inflected, ultimately great new single, presumably from her forthcoming eighth studio album. Having trouble getting on the "Work Bitch" train? Here are 10 reasons why you should love Britney's latest:
1. The BRITish Accent. Let's get this out of the way first: Britney utilizes a British accent on "Work Bitch." This is an okay thing! In a post-"Applause" world, where Lady Gaga is allowed to vamp it up on the verses, it's more than acceptable for Spears to embrace her inner Britishney and heighten the ferocity of her commands here. As Grantland's Molly Lambert points out, the use of the fake accent essentially allows Spears to assume the identity of a new character -- in this case, a no-nonsense headmistress who extols the virtue of relentless labor as a means to the purchase of many fancily named cars. Spears already explored a U.K. persona on the "clob" banger "Scream & Shout," and in the context of these lyrics, it makes even more sense. Bloody brilliant!
2. The Practicality Of It All. "Work Bitch," as its title suggests, does not abide by laziness, but also offers some solid cause-and-effect reasoning in its lyrics. Silver-spoon circumstances aside, most people have to work very, very hard in order to secure substantial funds for Maseratis, mansions and membership at Parisian parties. However, as Britney points out, a "hot body" also requires work -- a different, more physical form of work, but work nonetheless. You cannot argue with Spears' fundamental point here. This is the pop music equivalent of showing your work in math class: instead of just screaming "Work Bitch" at her followers, Spears is providing concretes examples of the importance of labor, further motivating listeners at gyms, offices and car dealerships worldwide.
Britney's Top 20 Billboard Hits
3. The Big, Fat Bass. Listen to that drop at the 0:45-second mark -- the synth riff that sounded a bit tinny during the first chorus becomes infinitely more muscular, and as Spears groans in the background, the listener receives his or her first opportunity to let loose some awkward shoulder grooves. The bass cycles in and out throughout "Work Bitch," and when it flies into the forefront, the depth of that hook multiplies deliciously.
4. The Arrival Of 'Real' Britney. After teasing her fans with her militaristic "work" cries during the opening minute of the single, Spears tosses aside the British accent for the time being and kicks off the song's first proper verse with the aching couplet, "Bring it on, ring the alarm/Don't stop now, just be the champion." The way Spears releases her alter ego and allows the last syllable of each line to float skyward without resolve makes for one of the most compelling moments in the song.
5. The "Here It Co-o-o-omes" Line. How does Spears snap back into British mode? By warping that line in the first verse into a metallic candle being burned at both ends. That phrase is the sound of Spears' processed reality circling down the drain, and it's arresting.
6. The Gloriously Weird Second Verse. After the second chorus ends, Britney somehow morphs into Paul Revere and starts ringing her own alarm. "You can hear my sound/Tell somebody in your town/Spread the word/Spread the word!" she cries, as if the Internet no longer exists and the news of her pop dominance must be delivered via horseback. Then, she doubles down on the wacky concept, commanding, "Go call the police/go call the governor/I bring the treble/Don't mean to trouble ya." What musical trouble could Spears possibly be concocting that would compel listeners to phone their governors? The "treble" line is a callback to "Scream & Shout," but we're more curious about Spears' political demands at this point.

7. The Oddball Structure. About halfway through "Work Bitch," the listener realizes how daring the song is in composition. A spoken-word chorus based on the word "bitch"? Verses that mirror each other and contain multiple accents? These are not the marks of a straightforward radio offering. "The great thing about Britney Spears is that she makes dazzlingly weird songs and then tricks everyone into thinking it's mainstream," Idolator's Sam Lansky wrote on Twitter about "Work Bitch." Based on the structure alone, it's hard to disagree.
8. The Breath-Catching Bridge. Following the second verse, "Work Bitch's" beat drops out completely, and Spears appears without pretense to instruct her audience, "Hold your head high, fingers to the sky/They goon' try to try ya, But they can't deny ya." It's an epic (albeit a bit cliched) breakdown, but the thumping, anthemic bridge really deserves praise for being unpredictable. As a trio of beats crash down upon the wave of synths, Spears returns to the dance mania of "Femme Fatale," and best of all, the change-up doesn't feel forced. These 30 seconds are going to absolutely slay when delivered live.
9. The Final Onslaught. "Work" x 16. "Work it out" x 12. The synth riffs return, but they've been doused in gasoline and are eventually set aflame. This outro is breathless, pummeling electronic music. Resist it at your own peril.
10. The Individuality. "Work Bitch" smacks of "Blackout"-era Britney in production and lyrical content, and the accent and overall feel recalls "Scream & Shout," Spears' collaboration with "Work" producer Will.i.am. But Spears' new single clearly has both eyes trained on the finer moments of the recent EDM boom, and not on the success of Spears' past radio smashes. "Work Bitch" takes risks that were not present on the (highly enjoyable) "Femme Fatale" singles -- and Spears has earned the right to take risks. Those fearing a single as safe as "Ooh La La" have been given a single with a singular, uncompromising vision. This is not paint-by-numbers pop. Go tell the police, the governor, the state congressman, the barber, the guy who works at your local Burger King -- go tell whoever you need that Britney is back.


Used 2005 Suzuki Gs500F for sale in Orange New South Wales. I have owned this bike since the 3000km mark, and it has never skipped a beat. It is very reliable, starting and running without any issues. I have used this for weekend trips as well as commuting to and from work. This bike is great for learners as it handles very well but also has plenty of power for riding comfortably on the highway. There are some marks on the fairing from being dropped while fueling up by the previous owner, it has been plastic welded but not repainted, there is a photo showing the marks. The tyres are at about 50 percent. It has recently had an oil change at 12000 kms and has close to a years rego left. It will also come with the luggage rack on the back which is invaluable for weekend trips away.The bike is still being ridden so the kms may vary a little from what is listed.I am only selling due to the future purchase of a cruiser.

Diane Lane Josh Brolin
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have called time on their eight-year marriage.
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have split up.
The 'Perfect Storm' actress and the 'American Gangster' actor - who were married for over eight years - mutually called time on their union a few months ago.
A statement from their representatives reads: ''Diane Lane and Josh Brolin have decided to end their marriage.''
Josh, 45 and Diane, 48, didn't have any children together and the split is said to be amicable with no third party involvement.
A source told Us Weekly: ''It is very amicable. It's not ugly, it's just over.''
This will be the second divorce for both celebrities. Diane was married to actor Christopher Lambert from 1988 to 1994, while Josh previously split from Alice Adair, with whom he has two kids, Trevor, 24, and Eden, 18.
Josh was arrested on New Year's Day (01.01.13) for public intoxication in Santa Monica, California, and although he has described the night as ''fun'', he has admitted to being embarrassed by the ''awful'' photograph they released of him in the station.
He explained: ''I'm the one guy who's out there and they go, 'Hey, that's Josh. Let's grab him.' It was New Year's. It was a pretty innocent thing. It was a fun thing. [The police] were actually very sweet to me.
''The most awful thing about is you see this shot of me like this and they don't show you the other shot when I turn and have a huge smile on my face ... whatever.''


BUTLER TOWNSHIP (KDKA) — A state trooper's cruiser was struck by a tractor-trailer in Butler County Wednesday morning.
The accident happened after 10:30 a.m. in Butler Township, near the intersection of New Castle and North Duffy Roads.
According to state police, the trooper was heading to a separate crash and had its lights and siren on when the tractor-trailer slammed into the cruiser.
The trooper was taken to the hospital to be checked out, and was later released.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, identified as 40-year-old Keith Wheeler of Ohio, was not hurt.

My entry for round one of the Ultiamate Tournamocoff; the Takka Bird.
The only specification for this round was to have three simple socket pieces connected together by the side axel holes all the same side up. It wasn't that much of a theme, so I incorperated it into a MOC I was planning to build anyway.
The Takka bird lives on Racta Magna, being the only rahi to prefer living in the city rather than in the wastelands. The Takka bird has a close relation with the Matoran and will allow the Matoran to ride on its back. Its diet consists of vegetation, which it can rely on the Matoran to feed it to them.
When possessed with a infected Kanohi, the Takka bird's personality is very different. It does not prefer attacking foes that can fight back, and is more likely to destroy important buildings or cut off food supplies than to attack the Matoran.
The Bird with its wings folded up.
With its wings folded out.
A good look at it's back, with a better look at it's tail.
As you can see, the whole thing is centered around the three single socket pieces which we were required to encorparate in our MOCs.
And just because I didn't think one was enough, I put that design in the wings, too!
A Matoran! I did say that the Takka bird would let Matoran ride its back!
Proof that the Matoran is actually connected, rather than just sitting on top.
This was actually ment to be a part of a currently incomplete project, to make a bunch of large Rahi. Above is an example of one of the other Rahi which is part of the project. I didn't want to post this just yet, but because of the contest, i did.
Quoting Daniel Floyd Please post the scorpion...please.
Quoting Red-Eyes Rider Wow, very nice work wertman! Now I did state earlier that I will not judge mocs now, but on judge day, which is when round 1 ends. That way I can give people rightful scores just incase I give someone a 10/10 and then someone posts a better moc so you know. Though I am going to say right now this is going to get a decent score because of not only the design, but how you make the mix centered around the construction. Very nice job!
Quoting Nik Brusk squak squak! that's the sound of an epic bird. good luck on the tournamocoff!

Holly Herndon
Avant-garde pop artist Holly Herndon plays her first Melbourne show in the glorious Elisabeth Murdoch Hall at Melbourne Recital Centre on 21 January.
Technology empowers creation of all kinds. By way of modern advancements and innovations, new artforms prosper, life expectancy extends and artificial intelligence gains awareness. The capabilities of such developments should be explored, employed and embraced. Rather than dimming and darkening the future, they burgeon and brighten it.
Case in point, Holly Herndon operates at the nexus of technological evolution and musical catharsis. On her third full-length album PROTO (4AD/Remote Control), the performer and composer fronts and conducts an electronic pop choir comprised of both human and A.I. voices over a musical palette that encompasses everything from synths to Sacred Harp stylings.
Holly lifted the lid on the creative process of her latest album via Birthing PROTO, a six-minute documentary directed by Theresa Baumgartner and Zoya Bassi. Filmed in Holly's home studio and at Volksbühne, where Herndon headlined recently with her vocal ensemble, it offers an insight into the making of third studio record PROTO and translating their extraordinary work to the live stage.
Holly explains:
'Our vision of technology is that it enables relationships and liberates us to be more human together, which it so often is not designed to do. There's a pervasive narrative of it as dehumanizing. We stand in contrast to that. It's not like we want to run away from technology; we're very much running towards it.'
Since her arrival in 2012, Holly has successfully mined the edges of electronic and avant-garde pop and emerged with a dynamic and disruptive canon of her own. Her musical palette started to expand as she utilised the laptop as 'the most intimate instrument', cultivating live voice processing systems and eventually developing custom vocal patches to construct experimental pieces to be performed in real-time.
As she researched platform politics for her phD at Stanford, she assembled her 2015 sophomore offering Platform. Platform closed out 2015 by gracing year-end lists from Pitchfork, The Guardian, NME, and The Wire. In the aftermath, Radiohead handpicked her to open its European tour.
Along the way, she quietly pieced together what would become PROTO alongside cohort Matthew Dryhurst. In addition to assembling a Berlin-based 'ensemble of vocalists', Holly and Mat 'gave birth to an A.I. baby' affectionately named Spawn — who also joined the fold.
Speaking of the ensemble, Holly says:
'We wanted to put together a community of artists for this. There's no escaping the hours in front of the computer, but we also craved a very physical in-person sound and the experience of music-making. Choosing to work with an ensemble of humans was a statement of principle that also relates to A.I. I don't want to live in a world in which humans are automated off stage. Spawn was an ensemble member. Everyone was unique, but could work together as a unit. The meetings created a baseline trust, so they'd be willing to try something seemingly crazy.'

Celebrate Three Centuries Of Christmas
WETHERSFIELD — Each year, using armloads of greenery, native plants and authentic decorations from days of yore, the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum's "Three Centuries of Christmas" tours show in fascinating detail how the American holiday season evolved over the past 300 years. WDS Holiday Tours will be offered from now through Jan. 7, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., except Sundays, when they will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. The museum is closed Tuesdays and is located at 211 Main St. Admission for tours is $12.
The "Three Centuries of Christmas" enchanting, historic view of holidays past begins in the Silas Deane House, circa 1770, where New Year's Day was the main holiday, rather than Christmas, due to the Puritanical customs that lingered in New England. The house reflects the preparations for the Deane's "New Years' Day Calling," when prominent gentlemen in the community would call on the lady of the household. It was also the day when individuals who owed the family money would meet privately with the master of the house to settle their debts or make a New Year's resolution to provide goods or services to settle their accounts in the coming year.
The Isaac Stevens House is decorated to depict the holiday celebrations of a middle-class household during the early to mid-1800s, when many of the Christmas traditions known today were adopted in New England. The "best" parlor features a charming tabletop tree decorated with candles, gilded eggshells and edible treats, in keeping with the era. The Stevens House also includes a special exhibit with enlarged color illustrations by Thomas Nast from the museum's rare 1888 copy of Clement Moore's "An Account of a Visit of St Nicholas." The colorful images tell the tale of how the secular Christmas known today was created in the early 19th century, which coincides with the museum's interpretation of Christmas at the Stevens House.

Watching endless episodes of your favorite show on Netflix? It turns out that Scandal-addicts are only recently discovered something that readers have enjoyed for hundreds of years: binging. Diving into a good book, getting lost in different worlds, and losing track of the hours are things that loyal book lovers know well — and now there's proof that reading actually helps you do better in both school and life (unlike Netlfix binging).
So what can we do to convince kids to turn off the screen and crack open a good book?
Dr. Daniel Willingham suggests that we should "teach kids to love reading" rather than just teaching them to simply read, starting from a young age. The idea is that parents must instill a sense that reading is a family value, something that is very important to the parents.
It can be super helpful to place magazine and books in places where kids will be bored and have no other entertainment options available. Put some reading material in the car and see if your kids pick it up and start reading. Don't forget the bathroom!
Dr. Willingham cautions against using rewards for reading. Paying for reading essentially teaches your child that it's not something you expect to be pleasurable for them. It also incentivizes "skimming" and speed reading — meaning kids won't really digest and internalize what they are reading. Rewarding should only be used as a last resort.
Shakespeare in Bits: Romeo & Juliet: Spice up an old classic by reading Romeo & Juliet with this interactive app, complete with narration of the full text and simple animation of each scene. With a synopsis section, which summarizes all of the acts in a scene for quick understanding, as well as a notes section where kids can jot down thoughts, make this a practical way to study one of the high school classics.
Cinderella by Nosy Crow: Nosy Crow developers are known for creating some of the very best reinterpretations of classic children's stories, and Cinderella is no exception with beautiful illustrations and boundary-pushing interactivity that fully immerses readers in the story. Here the tale is set in modern day with a step-mom and sisters who are more misunderstood than malevolent, and a prince who values Cinderella's kindness over cuteness. Kids can read the book themselves or hear it told to them through a mix of narration and dialogue. Almost every page includes interactive elements that are all but guaranteed to captivate. Overall this is a beautifully designed app that takes a timeless classic and turns it in to something both magical and modern.
Starfall Learn to Read: Perhaps one of the very best alphabet-learning apps out there, Starfall guides kids through a series of high-repetition, engaging games that move from the basic building blocks of letter recognition all the way up to reading short sentences. With a focus on phonics, the site moves slowly and gradually through the reading process so that kids will feel encouraged, not rushed. And best of all, the app offers an A+ selection of interactive challenges that teach letter recognition in a variety of ways — through seeing, listening and within words and sentences.

Q: Sorting rows of table permanently in a SQL Server CE database I have a database which has a table named dictionary and it has 2 columns named english and bangla. The table contains about 70,000 rows. I want to sort the data according to english column alphabetically.
I know how can sort them in a SQL query:
SELECT english, bangla
FROM dictionary
ORDER BY english

But it just shows as I queried. It doesn't effect permanently on database.
What I want is to sort the database permanently.
How can I do that???
Another question:
I have about 70,000 rows and when I perform a search query in my windows app the searching result is very slow. If I sort the database alphabetically, will the search become faster???

A:
But it just shows as i queried. It doesn't effect permanently on database. What i want is that i want to sort the database permanently. How can i do that???

For this, you have to update the database with your query result. The link below will enlighten the solution.
https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/5146/can-the-sorting-from-an-order-by-statement-be-saved-explicitly-with-only-one-upd

Another question: i have about 70,000 rows and when i perform a search query in my windows app the searching result is very slow. If i sort the database alphabetically,will the search become faster???

I don't really think it will speed the search speed. Even then, it depends on your search query to some extend. I found the article which is very much interesting and should be helpful to you. Please check this:

Breaking Out of the Green House: Indian Leadership in Times of Environmental Change (Book Preview)
March 7, 2013 By Dhanasree Jayaram
The 2009 Copenhagen summit was a watershed moment in the history of climate change negotiations, especially from an Indian perspective. Brazil, South Africa, India, and China – the "BASIC" group – asserted their position, which led to a virtual collapse in talks, ostensibly marking the ascent of the global "south" and relative descent of the "north."
The summit placed India in a very difficult situation. On the one hand, India has been on the receiving end of many destructive environmental changes, and on the other, fear of the global recession was looming large.
While India's leaders may have felt that short-term economics were an overriding factor at the time, it is becoming clear that India cannot simply ignore environmental security forever. This is not a topic that can be segregated and dealt with exclusively. It is one that needs to be explored and understood in an integrated fashion, and one that requires national leadership.
From energy to water, agriculture, trade, and security, "sustainability" and environmental consciousness is – sometimes controversially – permeating policy. Inter-state transboundary and intra-state river water sharing, cultivation of genetically modified food crops, promotion of nuclear energy and biofuels, and environmentally-influenced migration are among many issues that have emerged as bones of contention in the Indian context.
Environmental change is not restricted to climate change and the latter is only one crucial component of the former. Time has come to pay equal attention to non-climate change related issues such as urbanization, deforestation, groundwater depletion, pollution, stress in the availability of resources, and so on, as each of them impact security of the present as well as future generations.
In my book, Breaking Out of the Green House: Indian Leadership in Times of Environmental Change, I explore the ways in which environmental change has shaped the international system and India's position in it. The central argument of the book is that environmental change is changing geography and in turn changing geopolitics and international relations. This has been substantiated by detailed analysis of the drivers of India's environmental policies; international climate change negotiations; the role of state and non-state actors in the international environmental discourse, both in theory and practice; and most importantly, the inter-connectedness between environmental change and national security.
The work strives to evolve an Indian perspective on these strategic issues in what has been a Western-dominated arena. Though the book brings to light several gaping holes in India's policy and strategy, it contends that India has a plethora of options and opportunities to not only maintain its own national security but also help the world adapt to and mitigate the effects of environment change.
An Evolution of Policy, But Is a Revolution Needed?
From former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's statement at the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment that put poverty eradication above all else to current prime minister Manmohan Singh's statement that it is "no longer acceptable to take as a given a certain degree of environmental degradation and over-exploitation of natural resources in the cause of promoting growth," India's sustainable development policy has come a long way. But it still has a long way to go.
Indian lawmakers have begun to take into consideration a multitude of factors in framing its local, national, and international environmental change policies, but energy and broader economic development policies might be the most important.
The energy management policies of the establishment have more or less failed to make India self-reliant. Not only is India's development excessively and irrationally dependent on importing the least environmentally-friendly sources – coal and oil – the share of renewable and nuclear energy in the energy basket is abysmally low. With the launching of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008 and the signing of civil nuclear agreements with several countries across the world, this situation could well change, but the stumbling blocks are still many, ranging from political and economic to social and cultural.
Lack of environmental risk assessments in rapid urbanization and infrastructure-building in the delta regions such India's financial capital, Mumbai, are creating acute problems such as flooding, storm surge, subsidence, and so on. What is needed in Mumbai and other cities is a decision-making system that takes into account environmental change. India cannot afford to follow the path of its largest neighbor, China, which has pinned its policies on control of the environment (enunciated by its rampant dam-building) rather than management of it.
Struggling to Find a Position in the Global Order
On top of its domestic struggles, India has failed to mobilize the support of the majority of developing countries on climate change, including its own neighbors. India's seemingly obstructionist attitude towards global environmental consensus and its refusal to consider climate change a security issue has alienated it to a large extent. This has weakened India's position in the global environmental order, resulting in some legitimate issues raised by it during negotiations – from adaptation techniques, sustainable technology, and finance mechanisms – being overlooked by the international community.
India is beginning to emerge out of this world of denial and address the security implications of environmental change. The Indian military is expected to face a convergence of energy and environmental threats in the near future owing to environmental change. Loss of territory or lack of freshwater in the Maldives, loss of agricultural or habitable land in Bangladesh, drying up of the Indus River, or the damming of the Brahmaputra by China – all would have major implications for regional security and therefore, India's national security.
But the Western trend of treating climate change as a security issue rather than a development one is not acceptable. For Indian leaders, addressing daily concerns – "roti, kapda, makaan" (food, clothing, shelter) in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and "bijli, sadak, paani" (electricity, roads, water) now – is a much bigger priority.
Rethinking Environmental Policy Options
At the policy level for India, there is a need to segregate the military and civil aspects of environmental issues and deal with them accordingly. There are certain aspects which come directly under the umbrella of the existing national security paradigm and where the military should play a substantial role – water security, safety and security of military installations, and migration being some examples. But other issues such as food security could be directly handled by civilian branches of government, like the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
Instead of concentrating heavily on the possibility of deploying geoengineering projects that may prove to be counter-productive, if India focuses on natural carbon sequesters such as planting trees and exporting various traditional technologies available in the country, such as eco-friendly cook stoves or waste converters, it could also assist other developing countries in the sustainable development arena.
Environmental change is compelling India to adapt, both at home, through new policy formulation and implementation that reconciles development and sustainability goals, and abroad, through an emerging international system in which India must play a major role.

Central Asia and the Ukrainian Crisis. Presentation of the Valdai Club Report
Missile Defence and Its Implications for Arms Control. Presentation of the Valdai Club Report
The New Government of Israel. An Expert Discussion
On January 17, the Valdai Club hosted the presentation of a new Valdai Club Report, titled "You Can't Miss Shooting Down: The Evolution of Missile Defence and Its Implications for Arms Control."
The development of missile defence systems is traditionally perceived as a destabilising factor, since a direct consequence of their development is an arms race. In the context of the degradation of the international military-political situation, these issues are of particular importance.
An increasing number of states are showing interest in the development of national defence networks. In addition to the undisputed leaders in this area - Russia and the United States - Israel, India, China, Iran and South Korea already have their own missile defence systems. The European Union is actively discussing the issue of rolling out its own missile defence system.
The processes of missile technology proliferation create an incentive for the accelerated development of operational-tactical missile defence systems and the corresponding information and control infrastructure as a guarantee of national and collective security. This approach provides for the integration of all information, control and strike elements of missile defenceand air defence into a single system and contradicts the well-established concept of separating strategic and operational-tactical missile defence systems. The real potential for a new stage in the development of missile defence has yet to be revealed. However, it is already clear that new technological solutions can enhance the capabilities of missile defence, which will lead to it becoming much more difficult to limit and control such systems, especially given the intensification of rivalry between the great powers and the landslide degradation of the arms control system.
What can be expected from military development of missile defence technology in the future? What international political problems may arise in connection with this? Is it possible to work out optimal solutions to minimize the negative effects associated with the development of missile defence for the entire system of international security? Participants of the presentation of the report answered these and other questions.

Up until 2014, Jose had what he called a "good life." He had a house, a car, a motorcycle and a good job. Two jobs, in fact. He said that he always had everything that he ever wanted and needed.
But three years ago, all of that changed. His 34 year-old fight with diabetes cost Jose one of his feet. A heart attack left him with stents in his body and he also has to check his skyrocketing blood pressure every single day. Jose's health concerns have resulted in his losing everything he said he's worked hard for in his life. He's had great difficulty gaining employment, has no savings left and has lost his home to foreclosure.
His unemployment isn't for lack of skills or lack of trying—he's been to bartending school, been a trainer for managers at Applebee's restaurant, does graphic design and is bilingual. Because he doesn't have any dependent children in the house, he was unable to receive any government assistance. He now lives with his adult son, but has very little money to buy much of anything and even necessities like groceries is a struggle.
When he entered the Food Market, Jose was greeted by a volunteer, who let him know how many items he was welcome to take from each shelf. As he reluctantly pushed his cart down the aisle, his countenance shifted from one of shame to one of gratitude. Jose carefully selected a range of fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, breads and dairy products and was delighted to take home some treats for the family dog He became delighted, exclaiming, "I can have this, too? This is what my mother used to cook for us as a child!" And, "I can really have three of these, too?" He joked as he got to the section with the sweets and said, "Uh-oh! I guess I will only take a little bit of these!" He took his time and carefully chose his items, and was excited to even get to take home some treats for his dog.
Staff made sure he knew that he was welcome back and gave him information on dates and times that he could come again. He said that he was so thankful to have been able to come and that he felt good about being able to contribute to the household. This trip to the Food Market, he said proudly, was helping him to contribute to the household again.

Tax Considerations for Remote Employees
June 29, 2022 /in Articles, COVID-19, Tax, Taxes
The number of remote workers in the U.S. has increased significantly since 2020. Many companies are also offering a flexible work schedule that allows employees to work from home multiple days per week. With this shift to remote working comes additional tax considerations for both employees and employers.
Below, we summarize four factors that Charles Schwab recommends people take note of before the next tax season.
Withholding tax from wages
The flexibility of working from home has allowed some employees to move out of state. Regardless of an employee's new location, they are required to have taxes withheld in accordance with their state's tax rules, regardless of where the company is located.
Some states, such as New York, require companies to withhold taxes from nonresident employees' wages.
Filing returns in multiple states
Employees that work in more than one state may be required to file a tax return for each state. If you live or work in one of the nine U.S. states that do not charge income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming) you won't be required to report and pay income tax to that state.
Deducting business expenses
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 prevents unreimbursed business expenses from being tax-deductible through 2025. This means that any out-of-pocket expenses that were not reimbursed by your employer cannot be deducted from your taxes.
Employing workers in multiple states
If your business has employees in multiple states, you may be expected to register your business in each of those states. You may also need to pay taxes and file tax returns in those states.

What has a boss ever said or done that made you decide to resign?
by adminPosted on September 7, 2018 September 3, 2019
She didn't want me to help a heavily depressive, spanned and re-integrating colleague.She wanted this colleague to drop stitches to dismiss her but by me she apparently kept it full.
After I was promoted to Teamleader, I had to get down from my director, the annual evaluation scores of a few people from my team, or give other people a bad evaluation.
Reason: The overall score of the team should not exceed a certain value, although during evaluation trainings and in HR policies it is stated that the direct chef must independently assess his people, and there is no type of Gauss curve at all Within which each team must fall.
So if you have the "bad luck" that there are a few very good people in your team, those people shouldn't be rewarded for that, unless you give someone else who doesn't deserve a low score.
First I got a call from HR stating that I had to get the scores down, if I then confronted them with the evaluation policy, and asked to put on paper that the scores of a team had to fall within a Gauss curve , a little uncomfortable was turned around the pot, I never received those papers, so the scores didn't change either.
Then I was called to the director, who told me I had to adjust the scores, I informed him that I was not going because those people deserved the double and fat to get a good evaluation score.
He then threatened to drastically reduce my own (good) evaluation score if I did not lower the good score of those fine employees.
I told him that he had to do that, and then applied in another department of the company.
', ' My ex-boss has ever asked me to pass on all the logins and passwords of all our users to him.I was then responsible for IT. After this question, which I answered him negatively, I started looking for another job. I have also informed the honourable Members of this question. This was IMHO a serious breach of their prvacy.
"," In the early days of the mobiles, when the thing was still heavily weighed and too big for your pocket, my sister called up to say that it went bad with my mother.I was sitting on that momen almost in a bag filler machine at a feed factory.
Of course I immediately pressed the big red button and stopped the machine.The machines in the manufacturing chain also fell silent, just like the palletmachine behind me. The entire production unit was auromatically interrupted.
My direct chef came on me running off with a red head and raised fists.He ordered me to regain the machine immediately, and I refused. I was still sitting in my place, shaking the terror and almost in shock. When I told him that my mother was sick and to leave early to go to the hospital, he railed me the skin full and said that I could not stop everything for that!
I climbed with difficulty from my working chair and, still on trembling legs, went upright.I told him that I was not the safest person on this machine, that I could not operate the machine anymore.
"Just take a ten minute break and come back, I have to produce!" was the answer.
I then walked away and called the employment Agency to explain the situation, along the way to the hospital.Of course, the agency gave me immediate, paid leave! (Thank you so much!) With my mother it has come well.
At a company I worked with a long time ago, a fear culture was going on.Moreover, there were people who did not hear in their place. As the CFO there. At a time when a forensic investigation was underway (in which I was involved), the debt of corporate espionage was deposited with someone from my department, of which an external and internal team had jointly determined that he could not be. In addition, we had found the leak a day later and fixed it all in report. However, the CFO didn't want to hear anything, the man had to look. I then went to the CFO and said that he was the CFO and not the CEO (saying I didn't have a message to his threats about lawsuits) and had to keep reading. Because the man in question was in a divorce period and was heavily introverted, the pressure has ensured that he stepped up. As a result, I immediately submitted my resignation the next day (after having given the CEO that his company was at the bottom of the sow). I was seemingly not the only one. Another 3 colleagues were following my example, which the CEO pressed the facts and finally the CFO was put on a non-active (together with associates he used to exert pressure on people).
I can't work in an environment that stands for unfairness.Certainly not when it comes to others. I know of myself what the truth is and not. For others, that is not always clear. I would rather make sure it remains fair to them.
I sometimes had to do some recruitment in addition to my regular work.If there were any comments, then I had to filter out who was/is not suitable. There my boss had quite separate opinions about it. In short, I was asked to profile ethnically. After a good sermon about why I am not ethically responsible, I am going to search for a new job immediately.
It still amazes me that these kinds of scenes are still taking place and are being wiped out under the excuse "it's just business." Rot on.
On the bulletin board at the coffee machine, Monday morning, in all early, an announcement of a Masters course at one of the Dutch universities that aroused my interest.I took the details of how I had to apply to be allowed to participate in that training. When I spoke to a few colleagues, they unanimously said that this was my body. I did the application in the prescribed way.
The next day I had to come to my boss who asked me how I had heard of that training.I told him of the announcement on the bulletin board. He said that it was not intended that this announcement should be suspended there. Later I heard that Mr N., who himself was an extraordinary professor in part-time at the relevant department, who had hung announcements on his own, to anger the management. (I noticed later on the previous day that the announcement was no longer visible on the bulletin board.) In any case, my boss shared me, I did not qualify. I asked him why not. Therefore, the answer was not. When I discussed the case later that day with a few colleagues, one of them told that a. would go to that training. Annoyance everywhere. As another noted, A. In the 5 years that he worked the company had spent about half of his time walking with courses and training courses and was what he had shown in the other half determined not impressive. "But yes," said another, "A. is good at management." And I was not the implicit notice.
That was on Tuesday.Friday afternoon my phone went. It was a headhunter who wanted to make an appointment with me. At our meeting during that appointment during the week he told me that he had heard through some rumors.
Again a week later I had a job interview and the same evening call an offer.When it was all around, I wrote a letter of resignation and put it on my boss's desk early in the morning. In the middle of the morning I got a phone call that I immediately had to come to the manager of the business unit. Whether or not this was good for him, he asked. The weird thing was that when I explained it to him, he didn't understand anything.
A bit of a complicated story.I was sitting at a company in the O.R. the director came into a meeting there and reported that he was planning to take over our biggest customer. This customer was part of a much larger company.
Coincidentally, I had been on location for a few weeks at this customer and I had suspected that the ' much larger company ' used the customer as a deathhouse construction: all sorts of expensive but not so very competent people were from other Business units pushed in.
I still carefully tried to warn the O.R., but that did not feel any resonance.Then I knew I had to make that I came away. So said, so done.
A year or two later I came across an ex-colleague.It was indeed a complete havoc, in which my successor was forced redundancies…
In addition to my frustration with the absence of career opportunities, I also had stronger reservations about certain unethical practices of my boss.
The introduction of life settlement transactions that many investors have yielded big losses and which have already clearly turned out in the beginning.But that was not the fault of my boss, oh no, others had the mess when they got the deals. He even went so far as to blame my predecessor. While he really formed the drive behind it.
Non-compete clauses are difficult in Luxembourg, but what did the boss do instead?Non-application clauses in agreements with customers, a tactic that was clearly aimed at preventing employees from changing jobs (at least if they switched to a customer). As if they were from the Middle Ages.
Promotions continued on the basis of favoritism.Competence was not really important, many with the right people in the pub do hang.

A short while ago, I visited the historic Aztec Hotel, an odd 1920s Mayan revival building located in Monrovia, California. While there, I met artist Jorge D'Soria, who recently returned to the hotel after an nine year absence.
Jorge once lived at the Aztec from 2006 to 2009. While there, he discovered the hotel's original "God of Lust" mural covered by a piece of white canvas in the lobby outside the women's restroom. Excited by the discovery, the hotel owner hired Jorge to recreate the "God of Lust" mural on a new piece of canvas. Once the duplicate was completed, Jorge secured the canvas over the original wall mural. The owner then hired Jorge to paint original wall murals inside the former Brass Elephant, the women's lounge, and courtyard. He also painted the stone floor tiles in the courtyard.
In 2008, Jorge began painting the Aztec Hotel's ceiling. However, when money for the project ran out, he stopped. As a result, the ceiling's paint job remained unfinished until 2016, when the hotel's manager hired him to complete the project.
2. He has a knack for hiding his likeness or initials in the art he creates.
3. He was born and raised in Mexico.
The new ceiling is based loosely on the original 1925 design. Yours truly, acting as an agent for the hotel, secured a couple of historical photos from the University of California Santa Barbara to help with Jorge's recreation. The photos, however, only provided a glimpse of what the original ceilings looked like.
