Gita Mehta sets the scene well: India, the Roaring Twenties, the Royal Calcutta Turf Club. Jaya, wife of Prince Pratap of Sirpur, is watching the races, dressed in red and indigo, the Sirpur colors. She is joined by her brother-in-law, Maharajah Victor, a gentle man in love with a Hollywood star:
"The Sirpur colors seem to belong on you, Princess. I often think you are the only one of us who knows who you are."
"But you are the Maharajah, hukam. You are Sirpur."
He looked at her and Jaya was shocked at the unhappiness in his eyes. "Only by birth and the tolerance of the British Crown, not because I believe I am a king. I am acting and actors should be allowed to marry actresses."
That is of course precisely what they were, the rajahs, maharajahs, nawabs, and Nizams of India, actors on a stage set by the British. Effectively emasculated by the Raj, they were useful as vassals to the British Crown, ruling chunks of India, red blotches on the map in a sea of pink, virtually as proxies with British residents watching their every move. Tradition and the mystique of divine kingship lent historical weight to British ideas of "good government." As long as they acted their parts, the Indian princes could spend their lives at play. And some chose very odd plays indeed.
Mehta uses to wonderful effect a celebrated occasion when the Nawab of Junagadh staged a dog wedding, inviting the crème de la crème of Indian aristocracy for the occasion: "The marriage of the two dogs, Roshanara, veiled and covered in gems, to Bobby, shivering in his wet silk pajamas, was conducted with all the ceremony that would have accompanied the marriage of a royal princess."
Andrew Robinson, in the latest glossy book for the Indian nostalgia trade, describes the funeral of the Maharajah of Alwar: his impeccably dressed corpse seated stiffly upright in his favorite golden Hispano-Suiza, the rear of which was a copy of the British coronation coach, complete with carriage lamps and gold crowns. Alas, there are no pictures of this occasion. We have to make do instead with Sumio Uchiyama's colorful photos, mostly of the charming Maharajah of Jodhpur (Eton and Oxford) striking traditional poses.
Another noteworthy player, cited by Robinson, was Sayaji Rao, the Gaekwad of Baroda, who trained his parrots to ride silver bicycles and perform dainty dramatic scenes. His granddaughter, Gayatri Devi, remembered one in particular "in which a parrot was run over by a car, examined by a parrot doctor, and finally carried off on a stretcher by parrot bearers. The grand climax of their performance was always a salute fired on a silver cannon."1
All this is fun to read of course. The excesses of bored men with unlimited means always are. But Mehta's novel, greatly to her credit, is more than a catalog of bizarre fancies. The story of Jaya is a story of liberation: the liberation of a woman, whose story begins in the opulent seclusion of a palace harem and ends in a court of law, where she registers her name as a political candidate in a newly independent India. But, again to her credit, it is not simply a story of brave, freedom-loving Indians versus arrogant oppressive Brits. It is much more ambivalent than that, for the agents of change, and ultimately of freedom, are often the very same things that oppress and destroy.
Two symbols recur frequently throughout the book: the machine and the bracelet. Glass bangles or glittering gauntlets are forever clinking on Jaya's wrists like manacles, symbols of her young servitude to tradition. Dressed by servants for her marriage to a man she has never even met, she felt "suffocated as the women scratched her body with jeweled gauntlets and heavy anklets." But when the young Englishman she had loved dances with her at a ball, her bangles break in his white glove. And when her maidservants haul bags of contraband salt into a train in defiance of the British monopoly their glass bangles break against the window bars.
The machine is introduced as a destructive force, often in conjunction with money. Thus we learn early on how drought turns Jaya's ancestral country into a wasteland "to be exploited by the machines of a new age without customs or humanity." Thus it is that the palace guru believes that by adopting the machines and institutions of the British, "we would adopt their ways, and in the process lose our souls." Jaya's father is shocked by the idea of investing money in stocks, for moneylending is undignified; it is against the dharma of a Rajput warrior. "Dungra's thick lips, stained red with betel juice, opened in laughter. 'Dignity? Dharma? You live in the past, Jai. Such words have lost their currency. Now the world runs on money.' "
The old world of customs and warriors against the new world of machines and moneylenders; no wonder at least one maharajah is said to have had portraits of Hitler in his study. He was not to know that Hitler, despite his love for Aryan nobility, was hardly interested in saving the Indian soul.
Jaya's attitude toward the machine age is one of sad resignation:
She thought of her father's mustache falling like a broken wing onto his white tunic as he told the Balmer Raj Guru that machines had ended the dharma of the warrior, and with it the dharma of the king.
For much of her life, inevitably for an Indian woman in the first half of this century, her destiny is controlled by men. They all represent something: her father, the old world Rajput; her husband, the confused, self-hating Anglicized playboy; her Indian lover, the Bengali babu nationalist; her English friend, the liberal who loves India. These are well-known types, but, as with Jaya, it is their ambivalence that saves them from being cardboard cutouts. For her father may be an old world Rajput, but he also tries to be modern, forcing his wife to break purdah and help the starving villagers during a famine. Osborne, the English friend, may be a liberal who loves India, but he remains loyal to his viceroy, to the point of spying on Jaya's activities when he decides they are against British interests. And the Bengali babu, Arun Roy, is strongly drawn toward the very woman whose power he must destroy.
Sex is of course one of the most fascinating aspects of colonial society, the way sex became mixed up with politics. The early British settlers in India, soldiers and traders, employed by the East India Company, had no qualms about taking Indian mistresses; this was one of the "perks" of living in the tropics. But after the British began to rule India, not as traders but as a kind of superior caste, sex with the natives became a taboo, something upper-caste Hindus understood very well. The taboo was no doubt broken on some occasions, but this degraded the white sahib in Indian as well as British eyes. So even though every encounter between Jaya and Osborne is charged with erotic attraction, nothing happens, nothing can be allowed to happen. Even sex between the sahibs and memsahibs had to be discreet to maintain face in the eyes of the more fastidious natives. Nirad Chaudhuri, for one, was shocked by the sight of white couples carousing on Indian beaches, thereby "bringing disgrace upon the great European tradition of adultery established by all the historic adulteresses from Cleopatra to Madame de Stael."2
The penchant among Indian aristocrats for seducing as many white women as they could was degrading in a different way. It was part of their playacting—collecting Hollywood starlets was not so different from collecting Hispano-Suizas. But it was also a kind of racial revenge, though the revenge was not as sweet as it should have been, for it was infused with self-hatred. Mehta catches this well in her description of Jaya as a new bride, still very much the traditional Rajput princess, pining for her absent husband. She asks her older friend and mentor, Lady Modi, otherwise known as Bapsy, why she appears to fill her husband with disgust:
"Is it the color of our skin? Our hair? Are white women so much more beautiful than we are?"
"Of course not, darling. It's just that you represent everything the British Empire has taught Pratap and Victor to despise…."
So what should she do about it?
"If you want to attract your husband, Princess, you must make the British envy Pratap, not patronize him. You must make yourself into a woman who is desirable to white men."
This still rings true today, from Bombay to Tokyo, where some women continue to have their eyes fixed to look more Western. Of course this is not for the benefit of Western males, who, in any case, tend to prefer exotic Asian beauty, but to suit their own notion that physically the West is best.
Jaya tries her best to dress like a European flapper, but never becomes the caricature that her cocktail-swilling friend Bapsy is. Nor does she become quite like Bapsy's opposite, Jaya's teacher, Mrs. Roy, a nationalist from Calcutta, dressed in white cotton saris; earnest where Bapsy is frivolous, loyal where Bapsy is fickle, intellectual where Bapsy is shallow. Jaya never becomes like Mrs. Roy, because she remains an aristocrat to the end, even when registering her name as a candidate in India's first independent elections.
Jaya's rebellion is not an intellectual one as Mrs. Roy's is. She wanted to be a dutiful wife, but, rejected by her husband, she ends up hating him and everything he stands for. Refused his love, she gains his power. When she agrees to extricate him from a disastrous affair with an Anglo-Indian demimondaine formerly employed in a Calcutta brothel, she demands that she become regent of his state in the case of his death, which, as so often happens with shiftless playboys in novels, comes rather soon.
Gita Mehta's novel is important because, for once, it deals with the Raj without nostalgia or bitterness. She is at her best when describing the twisted human relations in a colonial society. The first part of the story, Jaya's childhood, interested me less than Jaya's adult life. As a child she is only among Rajputs, with the occasional intrusion of a white man or a Bengali teacher. But it is in the milieu of nationalist radicals, Anglo-Indian mistresses, cynical politicians, decadent maharajahs, and Indian flappers that the novel really comes alive. It is, one feels, a milieu Mehta knows very well: that small, still-existing society in India, where East meets West, a sometimes fruitful, sometimes hilarious, sometimes disastrous encounter. The novel ends with Indira Gandhi's parliamentary bill of 1970, discontinuing privy purses and abolishing the concept of rulership. It was the formal end of princely rule in India. But in few countries is the legacy of history, in spirit and form, so apparent as in India.
The worst legacy of modern colonialism, in India and elsewhere, has been the idea, very much in the foreground of Mehta's novel, that superior race gave Europeans a divine right, even duty, to rule the world. It has left Westerners with a crippling sense of guilt, dangerously affecting their judgment of non-Western affairs. And it has left resentment and a confused sense of inferiority among the former colonial subjects. (The Japanese are a separate case; they tried to outdo the West by claiming they were the divine race destined to rule the world.)
But—and this is one of the strongest themes in Mehta's book—it was the same West, with its machines and institutions, that inspired freedom and democracy, that broke the bangles of feudal bondage. The rhetoric of Indian nationalists was picked up in England, from the Fabians and the London School of Economics. The Bengali babus were in the vanguard of nationalist agitation because—unlike most of their British rulers—they were au courant with European ideas; they had read the books people read in London, Oxford, and Cambridge.
They were despised by the British for having done so, for acting above their station, imitating absurdly the ways of a superior race. The British much preferred Indians to remain exotic, hardy warriors, loyal Johnny Pathans and dependable Sikhs, colorful in dress, traditional in behavior. One of the paradoxes of the Raj, deeply confusing to educated Indians, is that the British encouraged emulation on the one hand and hated it on the other. They taught the Indian princes how to play cricket and sent them to English schools, but sniggered at the result: the half-baked Englishman, at home only in places like the Calcutta Turf Club. As Lord Curzon said about the princes at a gathering in 1902:
Amid the leveling tendency of the age and the inevitable monotony of government conducted upon scientific lines, they keep alive the traditions and customs, they sustain the virility, and they save from extinction the picturesqueness of ancient and noble races.
Note that word picturesque. Above all, India had to be picturesque and, of course, ancient—not so different from the attitude to Asia of the modern Western tourist, or even the well-meaning liberal: ancient and noble culture, not democracy, traditions, and customs, not the modern blight of materialism, machines, money. Under the Raj, the British took care of the money and the machines. And as long as the princes behaved traditionally, that is, as long as they were loyal to the British Crown, like feudal knights to their lords, they could have their champagne parties and golden cars. And it had to be said, those maharajahs threw some damned good parties.
It was the British, more than the Indians, who first attempted to define and preserve traditional India. This irony is often forgotten by writers who see Western colonialism only as an assault on traditional values. No doubt the Raj changed much in India (pace those who argue that it was nothing more than a swift ripple in the unchanging and largely inert ocean of Indian history), and all change is a challenge to what existed before. But it is a mistake to pit Western modernity (the machine) too neatly against the fragile glass bangles of Indian tradition. Indeed, some of the picturesque customs of India were of a British make.
Nirad Chaudhuri has pointed out how "the orientalism which became one of the two elements in the modern Indian synthesis, was not the native and traditional Sanskrit learning, but the new learning about the East created by the European orientalists."3 And in his wonderful essay in The Invention of Tradition,4 Bernard S. Cohn writes how Victorian English-men fretted about the Indian "heritage." They decided which monuments ought to be preserved, collected arts and crafts, translated classic texts, and compiled Indian history. "The British rulers," writes Cohn,
were increasingly defining what was Indian in an official and "objective" sense. Indians had to look like Indians: before 1860 Indian soldiers as well as their European officers wore western-style uniforms; now the dress uniforms of Indians and English included turbans, sashes and tunics thought to be Mughal or Indian.
Injecting nationalist anthropology into politics was a popular idea in nineteenth-century Europe. That was what the Olympic Games were all about: the pageantry of man, each nation in its own uniform, singing its own lusty folk songs, waving its own banners. And this, on an imperial scale, is what the great durbars were about, when the British viceroy, or on one occasion the king-emperor himself, held court in Delhi, like the Mughal emperors before them, to the assembled aristocracy of India. The Indian princes were each issued their own coat of arms, designed by one Robert Taylor, a civil servant and amateur heraldist. Queen Victoria was proclaimed Kaiser-I-Hind in 1876, a brand new title suggested by G.W. Leitner, a professor of Oriental languages.
Cohn gives a hilarious description of the first Imperial Assemblage in Delhi, commemorating Victoria's promotion to empress. Eighty-four thousand Indians and Europeans had pitched their tents over a space of five miles. On January 1, 1877, to the sounds of the "March of Tannhauser," the viceroy Lord Lytton and his wife made their appearance, waving regally from their silver seat perched on top of the largest elephant in India, owned by the Rajah of Benares.
The point of all this is that the British deliberately used picturesque Indian tradition to strengthen their own power, creating a hierarchy of flags and banners, gathered like a great patchwork under the banner of the Kaiser-I-Hind. The diversity of race, religion, and languages of India, demonstrated at these jamborees, made it clear how unity was only possible under the "good government" of the British Crown.
This may not have been entirely a matter of playacting or cynical manipulation. Lord Curzon, like most people of his class and time, truly believed in tradition and customs and ancient and noble races. Certainly Benjamin Disraeli, the architect of British India and the prime mover behind that glorious Imperial Assembly of 1877, did. Hannah Arendt made the persuasive argument that Disraeli dazzled British aristocrats by promoting the myth of his ancient Jewish racial heritage, more ancient and far purer than that of the British aristocracy, which had seen too many infusions of new blood over the years. Race, said Disraeli, was the key to history, and there "is only one thing which makes a race and that is blood," and there is only one aristocracy, the "aristocracy of nature," which consists of "an unmixed race of a first-rate organization."5 The first-rate organization, in his feverish imagination, was the British Empire and he, as a natural aristocrat, stood at its pinnacle with his beloved queen.
Racial pride, in the new scheme of things, was about all the Indian princes had left. The Rajput warrior, boasting of his ancient bloodlines, dazzled upper-class Englishmen in the same way Disraeli did. This is one reason, apart from the dashed good shooting parties, why the British still looked up to the princes, no matter how absurd their behavior, while despising the Bengali babus.
There was certainly an element of this in the British worship of Ranjitsinhji, Jam Saheb of Nawanagar, a famous cricketer before World War I. (Ranji, sometimes known as "the black prince," makes a brief appearance in Mehta's book, riding to King George's durbar in a solid silver coach.) A.G. Gardener, one of Ranji's British admirers, wrote a celebrated homage to the great cricketer, which is still recited in Indian schools:
The caste system of our own cricket field as of our own society has only the basis in riches. You cannot be a Runjeet Singh—to give the Jam Saheb the true rendering of his much abused name—unless you have the blood of the lion race in your veins, but you may join the old nobility of England if you have made a brilliant speculation in rubber….
Disraeli would have been amused.
So while the British machine helped to destroy the dharma of the warrior, as Jaya's father lamented, the Raj may actually have helped to strengthen the mythology of warriorhood. The so-called martial races were the Indian corollary of the cold-bath-can-do spirit of the British White Man's Burden. Many Indian princes outdid themselves to fight for the British Empire in both world wars. It was one way for Rajput warriors to retrieve their dharma, even though it quickly became apparent that, as Jaya's father put it, "This is no war for men. It is a war between the mechanisms of slaughter." The salvation of the Hindus, said Swami Vivekananda, who toured the US with great success in the 1890s, lay in three Bs: beef, biceps, and Bhagavad-Gita. It was his answer to the "muscular Christianity" of Dr. Arnold's England. He said it, it is true, in a moment of despair about British colonial rule. But his response, to match the discipline (a key word of the Raj) and virility of the conquerer, with the same qualities, was typical. To add yet another irony to the history of the Raj, it was a decidedly unmartial Bengali intellectual, Subhas Chandra Bose, who finally gave political expression to militarism.
"Discipline," said a Rajput rajah, showing me around early this year in the Rajastan desert, where Gita Mehta's novel is set, "discipline is the only thing we learnt from the British worth learning, and Indians have lost that. No more discipline."
One hears the same in Singapore and Malaysia: discipline and racial pride, the two prongs of British colonial ideology, are now part of postcolonial propaganda. Social Darwinism, largely discredited in the West, is very much alive in the minds of many Asian leaders. This is the final irony of the empire whose sun never set, that men like Lee Kuan Yew, who fought the British for their countries' independence, now castigate the West for being flabby and decadent, for having forgotten discipline, pride, in short, the old White Man's Burden. The "traditional values" of Singapore, touted as Confucian, are also the values of the Raj. The Darwinist ideas promoted by the likes of Malaysia's prime minister Mahathir would have been warmly applauded by Rudyard Kipling.
Where does this leave the Indian princes, the Rajput descendants of Gita Mehta's heroes? They seem as ambivalent as ever.
The rajah visitor pointed at the desert villages from his jeep: "Look around, life is just as it was before it was disturbed by the British."
"How was it disturbed?"
He waved his hand dismissively: "Oh, they built electricity, railways, all that."
"Was that a bad thing?"
"It was nothing at all. Look what has been achieved in forty years of independence. Compared to that the Raj was insignificant. They gave us some cars. A few Rolls Royces, here and there. But now we have our own Indian cars. We have airlines, we have nuclear power. Of that we are very, very proud."
And so, a proud man, he returned to his palace, now a tourist hotel, where he received his guests with the courtesy one expects from a Rajput educated like an English gentleman at one of the former princely schools. Some of the lady guests, an Australian painter, a British schoolteacher, a French antique dealer, were dressed up in silk saris. One blond woman had daubed a red spot on her forehead, as though she were a Hindu. On her wrists glittered a mass of glass and silver bangles.

Собо́ро , також соборо-домбурі () — страва зі смаженого м'ясного (найчастіше яловичого) або рибного фаршу та яйця, яка візуально нагадує крихти.

Одна з найпростіших і через це найпопулярніших швидких страв японської кухні. Смажений м'ясний фарш кладуть поряд або згори на варений рис. Соборо також використовують як матеріал для деяких видів суші та бенто.

Соборо з креветок Шиба є одним із незамінних компонентів для традиційних суші Едомае (), а також використовується як компонент для тамагоякі в суші-ресторанах.

У місцевій кухні префектури Нагасакі є страва під назвою Уракамі соборо, яку іноді спрощено називають «соборо», але вона відрізняється від «класичного» Соборо Це страва зі смаженого м'яса в японському стилі з використанням свинини та овочів, таких як лопух.

Archaeologists with the University of Cincinnati used the latest technology to find evidence suggesting ancient Maya people grew surplus crops to support an active trade with neighbors up and down the Yucatan Peninsula. They will present their findings at the annual American Association of Geographers conference in Washington, D.C. The extensive croplands suggest the ancient Maya could grow surplus crops, especially the cotton responsible for the renowned textiles that were traded throughout Mesoamerica.

Twitter is a great source of breaking news, both in written and video format. The demand for video content is on the rise and more and more companies and individuals are making videos for the microblogging platform.
The number of videos being shared on the microblogging platform is increasing by the day. It is natural to stumble upon a good video on your iPhone feed and want to download it, but this is where you are left scratching your head.
Apple makes it nearly impossible to download Twitter videos on iPhone. A lot of it has to do with security. While there is no easy way to download Twitter videos on your iPhone, to your camera roll, there are some other workarounds that still work.
Don't worry, I am not going to ask you to jailbreak. Jailbreaking can be risky and you will lose your iPhone's warranty. These methods are safe and need just a few additional steps to complete.
A simple little site with a neat and clean UI that was designed to do one thing: help you download Twitter videos on iPhone. Open the default Twitter app and locate the video that you want to download. Once you have found it, click on the share button (the one with an arrow pointing upwards) and select Share Tweet via option.
Now you will see different options to share the video. One of them should be Copy Link. This will copy a direct link of the video to your clipboard that you can paste anywhere.
Open the Safari browser. This will not work in any other browser. Go to Twitter Video Downloader site. Between all the annoying ads on the homepage, you will see an option to paste the URL with a Download button. Long press to paste the URL and hit Download.
Next, scroll to the bottom of the page to find the Download Video link. Choose a resolution and click on the Download Video button. When you click on the button, the video will begin playing in full screen mode.
Again click on the share button and select Add to Home Screen. You will be asked to enter a name for the video. When you are done, click save. Now you will see a shortcut icon to the video on your home screen.
This is as far as Apple will allow you to go and while it is not exactly a download, it is still something. Next, we will see how we can tweak these options to actually download and save the video to the Photos app.
Instead of adding the video to the home screen, you can actually download the video using a file manager app. MyMedia is a file manager app for iPhones that will allow you to manage files on your device. We all know how different managing files on iOS is when compared to Android which is much more user-friendly in this aspect.
MyMedia wants to add a similar functionality to your iPhone. Download and install it from the App Store. Go back to Twitter and copy the link to the video like you did in the previous step.
Now open My Media app and select the first option which should be browser.
Once again go to Twitter Video Downloader site, paste the URL, and click on the Download button.
This time, when you choose a format and click on the download button on the next page, you will see a pop up asking you to either Download the file or Open it. You know what to do here. When you select Download, it will ask you to name the file. Once done, you will see the video in the Downloading section.
Once the video is downloaded, you can view it anytime you want in the Media section. This is where all your downloaded videos will be saved. Make sure to give them suitable names.
But we are still not done. Though you have downloaded the video, it still resides inside the MyMedia app and not in the camera roll. To do this, go back to MyMedia app and long press on the video to reveal more options. Select Save to Camera Roll here.

The minute packages are great for creatures of habit or those who have a preference for a certain piece of tanning equipment.
They don't offer the same flexibility that the points packages do; however if you always use the same bed level then this might be a good option for you. It is an easier system to understand and to estimate how many sessions you will get.
Easy to understand. Buy minutes in one level and use the piece/pieces of equipment within that level.
Great for those who always want to use the same tanning level or piece of equipment.
Easier to predict your number of tanning sessions from a package.
Requires upgrade fee to use another piece of equipment outside of your package.
*The price per minute if purchasing a minute package. Compare it to the price for 1 minute.
Please note: We change our lamps often and because of this we will recommend your initial tanning time whether you are new to the studio or if you haven't tanned with us recently. Not all beds and lamps are comparable from studio to studio. This is a safety precaution and is a studio protocol.

Absalom Boston was a United States mariner. He was the first African-American captain to sail a whaleship, with an all-black crew in 1822. He also led the Nantucket abolitionist movement and was a founding trustee of the Nantucket's African Baptist Society and the African Meeting House in Nantucket.
Boston was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, to Seneca Boston, a black ex-slave father and Thankful Micah, a Wampanoag Indian mother. He spent his early years working in the whaling industry and by the age of 20, he acquired enough money to purchase property in Nantucket. He later obtained a license to open a public inn.
In 1822, he became the captain of The Industry, a whaleship manned entirely with an African-American crew. After a six-month journey, he returned with 70 barrels of whale oil and the entire crew still intact. He retired from the sea after returning from his voyage.
After retirement, he went on to become a respected leader of the island's black community, opened a store, and served as trustee of the African Baptist Church. In 1845, he backed a campaign to integrate Nantucket's public schools, filing a successful lawsuit to have his daughter admitted to high school. Boston died in 1855.


The Senate Finance Committee hears public testimony on the capital Budget, HB 25, which includes $38 million for a new women's prison for 224 inmates.
House Criminal Justice Committee debates and votes on SB 136 to expand the rights of victims and their families. The bill as introduced had a problem the Senate removed. Originally it said representatives of victims, including victim advocates funded by the state, were entitled to all the rights of victims.
But SB 136 perpetuates an apparent bias in current law that defines the accuser as a "victim" as soon as charges are filed. If the accused has a victim from the outset, the presumption of innocence until proof of guilt has vanished. Likewise, the burden of proof is on the defendant, and not the state. That's existing in the statute.
A panel of experts on mental health and substance abuse issues will make a presentation to both the House Criminal Justice and House Health and Human Services Committees.
Below is the case for HB 247 and the text of an appeal to Judiciary chairwoman Sharon Carson to give the legislation a second chance.
This bill would give those wrongfully imprisoned in our state as much as $20,000 for each year they have spent behind bars. Current state law caps such compensation at $20,000 in all.
A newly established National Registry of Exonerations reveals that over a thousand Americans have been indisputably exonerated since 1989 from serious criminal convictions. Only one of those confirmed injustices happened New Hampshire, five years ago, and the defendant has never applied for compensation. The New Hampshire Board of Claims, in fact, reports that nobody has ever sought compensation here for wrongful incarceration. But with a criminal justice system very similar to that of the Federal Government and the other 49 states, New Hampshire cannot assume it is immune to the problem of wrongful conviction and the need to fairly compensate those harmed by it.
The primary goal of the law should be to make the wronged person whole, with suitable compensation for lost wages, safety, peace of mind, time with loved ones and other chances to pursue happiness. The current low limit in New Hampshire is unreasonable in view of the weak economy and the huge demonstrable harm done to the wrongly convicted.
Most other states compensate on an annual basis without a total limit. Among those which do have limits, the cap is $300,000 in Maine and $500,000 in Massachusetts. The federal compensation limit is $50,000 per year. Four states- Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and North Carolina- compensate at that level. Notoriously tough-on-crime Texas pays $80,000 per year. Vermont's compensation range is between $30,000 and $60,000 per year.
Should we privatize foster care?
A commission set up by HB 572 to study public/private partnerships in the treatment of abused and neglected kids will hold its organizational meeting. This is not a crime bill, but friends of smarter criminal laws need to pay attention to this debate. Public/private partnerships can easily include vendors bidding to take over functions the state should never delegate to the for-profit sector. Opponents of prison privatization seem to have blocked that scheme after an 18-month struggle. Here is the same possible issue again.
The Department of Corrections will present its capital budget, including the women's prison and four new 64-bed halfway houses for men.

Elks Football Philosophy
"Football is a tremendous educational opportunity for any young man as he prepares to embark on today's world."
It is a vehicle which teaches the values of hard work, self-discipline, perseverance, mental toughness, and the importance of believing in one's self. Our program strives to provide for all young men the opportunity to develop these qualities and maintain them as permanent parts of their makeup. Expectations for those involved with Centerville Football are high, as we realize that it is human nature for competitive people to rise up or live down to stated expectations. As a result we feel that all young men within our program will learn to set goals for themselves well above the ordinary. By expecting themselves to perform well above the norm, consequently reaching goals which previously seemed unattainable, we feel a great deal of self-confidence will be developed by our players. This acquired attitude of expecting excellence of themselves at all times will assist them greatly as they go on to achieve their dreams beyond high school.
Centerville Football has long been recognized as one of the premier high school football
programs in the state of Ohio. Over the past 45 years, the program has built a tradition of winning matched by few Centerville has won 466 games (65% winning percentage) in the past 45 years, while winning 24 Conference Championships. In this same time span, the team has reached the state playoffs 17 times, reaching the regional level every time, and were state runners-up in 1991. In 1986, the Elks finished the season ranked Number One in the state of Ohio. Centerville football players have received many honors over the years. Included in these awards have been 50 All-Ohio Players and the 1986 Gatorade Midwest player of the Year in Kirk Herbstreit. Numerous Elk players have gone on to very successful college football careers at all levels, including 116 NCAA Division 1 players.

Prime Minister Erdoğan blesses Turkish police for 'heroic' action during Gezi unrest
June 24 2013 12:31:00
Erdoğan said the police had been 'quite tolerant' of the protests since they began almost one month ago. AA photo
A graduation ceremony at the Police Academy offered a unique opportunity to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to hail and encourage the national police, as he said the police forces had written a "heroic saga" during the Gezi Park interventions.
"We will not let circles who have been adversaries of Turkey or international and national media to wear down our police. I and my government congratulate our police wholeheartedly. On behalf of my country and nation, I would like to thank all my police siblings for standing up against incidents that have been going on for weeks, with sacrifice and patriotism," Erdoğan said in a speech delivered at the ceremony on June 24.
Erdoğan also asserted that the police countered the protests within the scope of law, despite cases of attacks and provocation that would never be tolerated in another country, as he called the actions of the police "a heroic saga."
The prime minister has repeatedly and constantly defied criticism leveled against the police for brutality against protesters during the Gezi Park unrest, despite the fact that the excessive use of police force during the unrest in the country since May 3 has resulted in the deaths of three protesters and one police officer and the injury of nearly 5,000 people.
"Like I expressed before, our police have passed a very important, a very challenging democracy test with success," Erdoğan said, adding that the police had been following orders within the authority granted to them, as much as fulfilling their duty within the scope of law and legitimacy, with great success.
"Sustaining such a long-term struggle without disrupting its solemnity and its discipline for 48 hours, while remaining hungry and thirsty, I am saying this clearly, is a task only our police can achieve. As the prime minister of a government that has extended freedoms to this extent, increased the standards of democracy and done so many reforms, I am expressing this with all my heart and all my sincerity: We are a government that says 'zero tolerance to torture.' We are a government that changed, democratized our police's rules of intervention into incidents and of custody and interrogation. If our police made a mistake, we would say it openheartedly and do what was required. However, nobody, regardless of who they are, whether a lawmaker or someone, has the right to swear at and insult our police," Erdoğan said, adding that the actions of the police were admirable.

BBC Media Action launches social media initiative #FlushKeBaad
Social media intervention puts a spotlight on urban sanitation challenge in India
BBC Media Action has launched a bold new social media initiative #FlushKeBaad (#NoFlushAndForget) to encourage public discussion of issues related to faecal sludge management (FSM). This is one of the few social media behaviour change communication initiatives on FSM in the world.
BBC Media Action, supported by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has been addressing sanitation issues in India through creative communications since 2015. This latest initiative seeks to tackle the critical issue of FSM, and its impact on the environment and people's health.
According to UNICEF, more than 1,600 people die every day due to diarrhoea which is closely associated with lack of sanitation. While India has made considerable progress in building and using toilets, according to the Central Pollution Control Board, 70% of the sewage generated from urban India is not treated. This is dumped indiscriminately in water bodies, empty spaces and agricultural lands. It then comes back to us via water, food and even air, posing a serious health hazard.
#FlushKeBaad uses entertaining content to create awareness and generate conversation about risks people face every day from untreated faecal sludge. It focuses on the idea that "what goes comes right back to you". The centrepiece of the initiative is a digital film that can be viewed here. The musical medley literally makes a song and dance about what happens after you flush the toilet. Using different genres such as Qawwali, opera, vintage Bollywood and rap, it features two types of people facing off against each other: those who know and care about what happens #FlushKeBaad, and those who do not, and are sceptical about treating it as a 'real issue'.
Since the launch of the initiative on 29th March 2019 on Facebook, the digital film has reached 3.4 million unique users, 1.5 million views, and an estimated 1.3 million unique users have viewed it at least once. As of now, it has been shared more than 1,350 times, with more than 8,500 reactions on the post. The audience engagement rate on the digital film on Facebook so far is 5%, where an engagement rate between 1-2% is considered high. Celebrities including Aamir Ali and Randeep Hooda have amplified the digital film through their social media handles.
Speaking about the social media intervention, Radharani Mitra, global creative advisor, BBC Media Action said, "One gram of poo has more than one million pathogens – I didn't know that before I started working on the issue. The #FlushKeBaad musical sawaal-jawaab (question-answer) has been crafted to start a conversation that's well overdue, given the magnitude of the FSM challenge in urban India."
Madhu Krishna, India country lead, WSH, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said, "For safe sanitation, we need to stop any untreated faecal sludge from going into the environment. That can only happen when every citizen understands what happens #FlushKeBaad. This musical is a smart route to creating that understanding and engagement."
"The digital film which is at the centre of the intervention will be complemented by other online posts like vox-pops, star videos and informational factoids to create risk perception from open discharge and indiscriminate dumping of faecal sludge. The idea is to make #FlushKeBaad everyone's business", said Soma Katiyar, executive creative director of BBC Media Action, India.
The social media intervention also complements BBC Media Action's television drama series on urban sanitation – Navrangi Re! (Nine to a Shade) which is being broadcast on Colors Rishtey. This initiative is being funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation via the Centre for Social and Behaviour Change, Ashoka University, who are also evaluating the initiative.

Cook Islands & Society Islands - 11-night Cruise
OvervieThis 11-night odyssey showcases the region's incredible diversity of scenery, from Aitutaki's low-lying islands to the jagged peaks and deep valleys of fertile Rarotonga, which was simply called "Paradise" by the first European explorers. Continue to the Society Islands to delight in the South Pacific's crown jewels-Bora Bora, Taha'a, Huahine, and Moorea.
While in the Cook Islands, call upon Aitutaki, a tiny island that's home to one of the world's most spectacular lagoons.
The waters around Moorea are home to an amazing array of sea creatures. Take an optional SCUBA excursion to swim among the sea turtles and vibrant schools of fish.
In Bora Bora, spend time at our exclusive white-sand beach on a motu enjoying snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, volleyball, and stunning views of Mount Otemanu.
Known as "The Garden Island," Huahine's lush rainforests and dramatic terrain surround sacred sites and legendary landmarks that are among the best-preserved archeological sites in French Polynesia. If Huahine's expansive lagoon is calling your name, enjoy a SCUBA diving excursion or picnic on the beach.
Day 3 - At Sea
Spend the day enjoying The Gauguin's Polynesian ambiance: casual, leisurely, and graceful. Perhaps you'll take in a lecture by one of our special guests, and then reflect on your day over classic French cuisine at L'Etoile.
Day 4 - Aitutaki, Cook Islands
While the island of Aitutaki may be small, it's big on beauty, thanks to its coral reef-enclosed lagoon. Witness its splendor up-close with a leisurely beach visit. Don't forget to save time to venture into the village of Arutanga, where you'll find the oldest church in the Cooks, which dates from 1829.
Day 5 - Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Rugged Rarotonga is the most mountainous of all the Cook Islands, and time here is best spent exploring its natural beauty. Snorkel in Muri Lagoon, wander the lush Takitumi Conservation Area, or take a hike into the island's dense interior with Pa, a local naturalist.
The time you spend onboard The Gauguin offers endless opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment, whether that means sampling gourmet cuisine, indulging in a spa treatment, watching the sunset from a chaise lounge on the sun deck, or simply making the most of your in-room amenities.
A bucket list destination for many, stunning Bora Bora welcomes you for two full days of exploring lush peaks, white-sand beaches, colorful coral reefs, and romantic lagoons. Experience the natural beauty of the island with an optional snorkeling excursion, sunset jetboat ride, or a helicopter tour that flies you over Bora Bora's iconic Mount Otemanu. You can also spend time at our private beach which offers volleyball, snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding.

Sweet, charming holiday special is better than you heard.
Parents need to know that Olaf's Frozen Adventure is a half-hour holiday short based on characters from Frozen. It features a talking snowman's quest to find new holiday traditions for his friends Elsa and Anna. It's sweet and suitable for younger children and whole-family viewing, with a few caveats. There are a few scenes young or sensitive kids may find scary: Sven the reindeer and Olaf slide down a mountain and over a giant chasm; the sleigh they were pulling falls into the gorge. In other scenes, Olaf is chased through the woods by big wolves with big teeth, and he melts in a sauna (no Frosty the Snowman trauma here, though: He is quickly revived when his friends collect the water and throw him into the snow). There are also a few off-color references that equate a fruitcake with poop (Olaf eats it and it appears, steaming, behind him, at which point he says, "It went right through me!"). Olaf also says "Oh, darn it" once. Otherwise, this special is sweet and mild, with great messages about family togetherness and enjoying Christmas, Hanukkah, and wintertime.

I have given a code how you can pass parameters (CaseIds) to the flow.
Code behind javascript button
{!RequireScript("/soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js")}

var caseObj = new sforce.SObject("Case");
var selectedCases = {!GETRECORDIDS($ObjectType.Case)}; //chosen records from list view checkboxes

//check at-least one record is selected
if (selectedCases[0] == null) {
   alert("You must select at least one record");
} else
{
    var serverUrl = '{!$Api.Partner_Server_URL_260}';
    var position = {!FIND( '/services', $Api.Partner_Server_URL_260)};
    var base = serverUrl.substring(0,position-1);

    var url = base +encodeURI('/flow/Update_Due_Date?vSelectedCaseIds=' + selectedCases +  '&vCaseCount=' + selectedCases.length +  '&retURL=/500/o');

Erm, hello... it's the wheel, right?
After compiling a list of the Top 50 Most Influential Gadgets of all time, TIME Magazine has placed Apple's iPhone at the top spot. The list, which considered items that have "forever changed the way we live, work, and play," put the original iPhone model at number one because, "Apple was the first company to put a truly powerful computer in the pockets of millions," and therefore created, "a new era of flat, touchscreen phones." Fair play.
Apple also scored highly with their other tech innovations, with the iPod at number 9, the iPad at 25, and the iBook at 38. Other big hitters on the list include Sony with their Trinitron TV at number 2, and the Walkman at number 4. Nintendo did well, with the NES landing at 15, and the Gameboy at 16. We're happy to see that the Nokia 3210 was mentioned, scoring a respectable 34th place, and the JVC MovieVideo Camcorder (as wielded by Marty McFly) was at 19.

Masked men broke into the homes of elderly people and demanded cash.
The burglaries happened on Tuesday (December 15) in Brook Way, St Ives and St Ives Road, Somersham.
In the first incident, at just after 8pm, two men forced open the door of a mobile home in Brook Way, confronted a woman in her 80s and demanded money. She said she didn't have any so the men made off with two handbags, one containing approximately £60 cash, and a hat belonging to her late husband, which contained medication.
In the second, detectives believe the same men, plus one other, forced open the back door of the property and confronted the occupant, a man in his 90s, who was in bed.
They demanded money but he sounded a panic alarm and they fled empty-handed.
One of the men was wearing a balaclava and the other a woolly hat pulled over his face. There is no further description of the third man. They possibly left the scene in a small hatchback car.
DC Jo Grant, who is investigating, said: "Both victims are elderly and this was very distressing for them, particularly for the woman as the hat was of great sentimental value. I would appeal for anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact police."
Anyone with information should call DC Grant or Detective Sergeant Sarah Sleaford, from the Huntingdonshire burglary team, on 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 or via crimestoppers-uk.org.
The force is prioritising burglary as part of Operation Hunter, which aims to put offenders before the courts while urging residents to take home security seriously.


KATHMANDU, Nepal – Confessed French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who is serving a life sentence in Nepal, had successful heart surgery Monday, doctors said.
Doctors at Shahid Ganga Lal Hospital in Kathmandu said Sobhraj, 73, was recovering in the cardiac care unit.
Sobhraj has been in a Nepal jail since 2004, when a court sentenced him to life in prison in the 1975 killing of a Western backpacker.
The Frenchman in the past has admitted killing several Western tourists, and is believed to have murdered at least 20 people in Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong during the 1970s.
He was convicted of murder for the first time after he came to Nepal as tourist in 2003 and police were tipped by a journalist. He was arrested and found guilty by a court the following year.
Sobhraj was held for two decades in New Delhi's maximum-security Tihar prison on suspicion of theft, but was deported without charge to France in 1997. He resurfaced in September 2003 in Kathmandu.


Our members, our dreams – Old Grace Housing Co-operative Ltd.
I am excited to be moving into Old Grace Housing Coop, since collectivism (and indeed socialism) is one of the two great traditions that I have inherited.
I was born in Germany, just a few years after the Nazi dictatorship and the Holocaust, and members of my family were persecuted both as Jews and as socialists. Political awareness and social engagement have shaped my life, yet in the past years dedication to Jewish learning and Jewish practice have stood at the center of my activities.
I teach Jewish and European history at the University of Manitoba, belong to an orthodox synagogue, and am an observant Jew. OGHC's commitment to communitarianism, egalitarianism, social action, and ecological responsibility speaks to the overtly political dimension of who I am.
Thus, I am thrilled that living in OGHC promises to help me achieve a more fully developed balance between spiritual attunement and political responsiveness.


Highlight your property's strengths. When searching for areas of improvement around your property, it's always best to start by taking inventory of what you love most. First, think about environmental factors like exposure to the sun, wind and shade. Do you love that area on the back porch that gets all the afternoon sun? Next, think about the features that make your property unique. Perhaps you have a small stream running through your backyard, or a commanding view of the community in which you live. Determining your property's strengths is important in laying the groundwork for landscape improvements.
Identify areas of high and low usage. Every homeowner wants their property to be beautiful, sustainable and, most of all, functional! Think about where you and your family spend the most time. Are those areas sunny or shady? What landscape features currently exist in those areas? Thinking practically about the areas you use most on your property will allow your new landscape to become a space that brings the family together for collective enjoyment, entertainment, and relaxation.
Remain open to new possibilities. Sure, the entrance to your backyard may have been in the same spot for decades. Or maybe you can't possibly imagine an outdoor fire pit where your kid's old playground use to be. Some things will never change – and they don't have to – but work hard to keep an open mind when discussing new landscape design possibilities with your spouse or partner. Change can be good!
Ask your landscape contractor to show you recent projects nearby. Any landscape designer worth their salt has a portfolio of previous project to show prospective clients. What better way to explore new possibilities for your landscaping than to see them in person? Ask your designer to take you on a field trip to recent projects in your area, then take the opportunity to assess different types of plant and landscape materials in real life.
Consider decorative touches. A new landscape design isn't all about adding new plants and hardscape elements. Explore creative ways to incorporate your personal decorating style into outdoor living space with outdoor furniture, rugs, and sculptures. Landscape design features such as ponds, fountains, and outdoor lighting give you an extra opportunity to add a little bit of personal flair.
With an open mind and a bit of thoughtful planning, a new landscape design can drastically improve the function, ambiance, and value of your property. So put what's left of winter to good use by daydreaming about the many possibilities of spring!


The malware coder who wrote the sniffer program used in the infamous TJX credit card heist has been jailed for two years.
Stephen Watt, 25, from New York, was also order to spend a further three years on probation following his release. He was also ordered to pay $171.5m in restitution.
Watts was part of a gang led by Alberto Gonzalez that captured more than 40 million credit and debit card records from TJX and other retailers between 2003 and 2007. The gang typically used the insecure wireless networks of retail branches to launch deeper attacks on corporate systems, ultimately targeting credit card databases.
A statement by the Attorney General's Office in Boston explains that "Watt modified and provided a 'sniffer' program used by the conspirators to monitor and capture the data crossing TJX's computer network". The New Yorker pleaded guilty to fraud and cybercrime offences in October 2008 prior to a sentencing hearing last week.


The Church Militant, which is the Church of Christ here on this earth, is in the midst of a battle. Our enemy is not one of flesh and blood, but one of darkness and evil. The survival of humankind is not dependent on the number of people who accept or reject the true faith, but rather that those who do, activate the fermentation, for just as yeast acts as a starter for bread, so faith in Christ can transform the world, and the entire cosmos. Saint Seraphim of Sarov said, "Save yourself, and a thousand around you will be saved".
As members of the Body of Christ, we Orthodox Christians must be fully engaged in this warfare that would bring down the Church. Just as liberators of peoples suppressed by evil dictators, we must introduce into this fallen world the hope that comes only through the Son of Righteousness, Jesus Christ. The Liberator of Souls is the disperser of the darkness and evil that would rip us away from our loving God.
It is a comfort, knowing as we do, that the Church Triumphant, made up of the saints in heaven, is united in this battle with the Church Militant, and good will ultimately win this battle. The resurrection of Christ from the dead ended the permanency of death, and darkness and evil will ultimately be defeated.
Thank you, Father, for this beautiful long-term perspective, outlining our short-term role in the process here on the planet.

The world´s longest and deepest rail tunnel was officially opened in Switzerland, after almost two decades of construction work. The 57 km twin-bore Gotthard base tunnel will provide a high-speed rail link under the Swiss Alps between northern and southern Europe. Switzerland says it will revolutionise European freight transport. Goods currently carried on the route by a million lorries a year will go by train instead.
The tunnel has overtaken Japan´s 53.9 km Seikan rail tunnel as the longest in the world and pushed the 50.5 km Channel Tunnel linking the UK and France into third place.
Engineers had to dig and blast through 73 different kinds of rock, some as hard as granite and others as soft as sugar. More than 28 million tonnes of rock were excavated, which was then broken down to help make the concrete used to build the tunnel.
Now the completed tunnel, delivered on time and within budget, will create a mainline rail connection between Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Genoa in Italy. When full services begin in December, the journey time for travellers between Zurich and Milan will be reduced by an hour to two hours and 40 minutes.
The tunnel´s course is flat and straight instead of winding up through the mountains like the old rail tunnel and a road tunnel opened in 1980.
About 260 freight trains and 65 passenger trains will pass through the tunnel each day in a journey taking as little as 17 minutes.
The tunnel is being financed by value-added and fuel taxes, road charges on heavy vehicles and state loans that are due to be repaid within a decade.
Swiss bank Credit Suisse has said its economic benefits will include the easier movement of goods and increased tourism.
CDP India Report: Cement manufacturers must innovate
Three Indian cement makers, among the top 12 producers of the building material in the world, have significantly reduced emissions, a report revealed by Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) said last month.
Indian companies, especially ACC, Ambuja and Shree Cement, have brought significant changes in order to meet the Paris Agreement objectives. The new report said that 12 cement companies - worth $120bn - have been warned that ¨significant innovation¨ is necessary in order to drive efficiency beyond current standards. The Carbon Disclosure Project India (CDP India) works with Indian companies to promote sustainable development and safeguard natural capital.
The cement industry, responsible for 5 per cent of global emissions, will need to deploy highly innovative product and process technologies to meet the Paris Agreement objectives, the report said. The report also highlighted that ¨forward-looking¨ companies will see emission targets expire within the next few years, with some companies facing an earnings hit of 144 per cent before interest and tax. ¨This is the first piece of major research to break down how major players in the cement industry are meeting the challenge of reducing emissions in line with the science called for by the Paris Agreement,¨ Tarek Soliman, Senior Analyst, Investor Research, at CDP said in a statement.
¨The climate leadership categorically demonstrated by Indian companies especially ACC, Ambuja (both part of the Holcim group) and Shree Cement underscores their world standing. With enabling policies, these companies will be able to continue their green governance which will be crucial as the country launches a massive infrastructure push in coming decades,¨ said Damandeep Singh, CDP India Director. Important findings from the report include:
The report recommends that in order to be consistent with the Paris Agreement, cement companies must increase their use of alternative fuel sources, implement thermal energy efficiency measures and use decarbonised substitute materials to a much greater degree.
Only three companies in the report have outlined plans for reducing their emissions in line with global carbon budgets (science-based targets) and other companies´ plans are not ambitious enough.
More than 50 per cent of cement facilities are currently located in areas of water stress and the report finds water scarcity to be a potential issue for the sector. In particular, it poses a significant risk to two Indian cement companies, UltraTech and Shree Cement, as well as other companies operating in the country where water shortages exacerbated by climate change may restrict growth.
Anhui Conch Cement (China), Siam Cement (Thailand), Dangote Cement (Nigeria) and Vulcan Materials (USA), which collectively represent over $60 billion in market capitalisation, did not respond to CDP´s 2015 climate change questionnaire and are therefore not included in this report.
Dalmia Bharat expects big business from Odisha
Dalmia Bharat launched two variants of cement in Odisha last month. The two national brands launched are - Dalmia DSP cement and Dalmia cement. The products will be available across 650 dealers and network partners in Odisha. Notably, Dalmia Bharat Cement, which manages OCL India Limited in the state, markets cement under the brand name of Konark. It has cement manufacturing facilities at Rajgangpur and Kapilas Cement Works in the state. ¨As Bhubaneswar strives to achieve the numero uno position as a smart city, we believe that Dalmia Bharat Group with its 75 years of expertise can act as a pillar of strength in creating a blueprint for tomorrow´s growth and prosperity in terms of infrastructure,¨ said Mahendra Singhi, MD and Group CEO.
OCL India Ltd inaugurates Bengal cement plant
OCL India Ltd, a flagship associate company of Dalmia Cement Bharat Ltd, has commissioned its Bengal cement plant in Godapiasal Industrial Park, West Midnapore. The inauguration was performed by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and was attended by a number of dignitaries and members of the company´s management team.
The new plant represents an investment of Rs 615 crore, and covers an area of 154.43 acres. The facility will produce Portland Slag Cement (PSC) and Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), in line with the company´s strict quality standards. The Bengal cement plant comprises state-of-the-art technology, including an ARL QUANT´X Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer, Systronics Double beam UV Visible Spectrophotometer with graphic LCD, and AIMIL Mu Compression Testing Machine with automatic pace rate controller.
Eastern India accounts for 14 per cent of the country´s installed cement capacity and approximately 18 per cent of demand. The new plant represents the beginning of the company´s investment cycle in West Bengal. The group already operates two cement plants in the state, Cuttack and Rajgangour, which have a total cement production capacity of 5.35 million tpa. The new site will create both skilled and semi-skilled employment in the area and OCL intends to develop roads, bridges and health & educational facilities in the local community as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programme.
Parth Jindal to take over as MD of JSW Cement

There are two methods of printing a shirt. The first one, and the widely known of the two, is the screen printing technique. The other one is the immediate-to-garment printing.
One fantastic way to get a easy ironing outcome for your shirt is by putting a moist towel. You can roll your shirt to this towel initial, prior to you start ironing it. This way, you can expect to have a great ironing outcome with no crease or wrinkle at all. Nevertheless, you require to make certain that the towel you use is the clean one. Or else, it will bring bad smell to the shirt.
The quality of the supplies that are utilized make the biggest difference. Any grill worth its excess weight will be made of 16 gauge stainless steel. Stainless steel doesn't rust and it's resistant to oxidation caused by heat. Oxidation caused from heat is the top reason grills rust through rapidly. Most low cost grill iron concrete producers will not use low-quality stainless steel as to keep manufacturing expenses down.

When I tried Papa Presto microwaveable supreme french bread pizza, I loved it. Though it does not have numerous green peppers or onions on it, it much more than makes up for that with the quantity of meat. All components are little in dimension but, the pepperoni and sausage are abundant. The french bread crust cooks wonderful, it turned out crispy and crunchy! This microwave pizza is 1 of the few I have tried that does not have a rubbery or difficult crust. That amazed me! The pizza sauce is nothing special but, it is great!

Navantia - A reliable partner for Transfer of Technology, in support of "Make in India"
Navantia organises the first Indian Industry online event for the P75(I) submarines program
April 22, 2020 By SP's Correspondent Photo(s): By Navantia
Navantia Team
Navantia organised a conference with both the Indian industry and S80 suppliers, as well as other companies and associations interested, in an event held online due to the COVID19 lockdown, on April the 21st. The event was attended by over 200 professionals from more than 150 different companies.
Navantia is participating in the P75 (I) project using the basis of the S80 plus; the only 3000 tonne AIP submarine currently under construction worldwide. This baseline is very close to the requirements of the Indian Navy, possibly the closest among any possible. For this reason, technical effort at this stage is minimum and Navantia is focusing in other aspects such as the indigenisation of major equipment and materials, and Transfer of Technology (ToT) options.
The industry event started with a welcome message from Fernando Formoso, Navantia Director in India, followed by a presentation of German Romero, Navantia Cartagena Shipyard Engineering Director, which described the main features of the S80 plus, and also the construction status, schedule and pictures of the actual construction. Also, a description of the revolutionary AIP system was presented. The system, known as BEST "Bio-Ethanol Stealth Technology", has been developed by the Spanish Company Abengoa and the American Collins Aerospace, working under a subcontract by Navantia. The explanation on the AIP was supplemented by a short video.
Navantia is fully committed with India's P75 (I) project, and is willing to provide the required "Know How" and "Know Why" through a Technology transfer program
The technical presentation was followed by a presentation on ToT and indigenisation possibilities delivered by Jorge García Monedero, Navantia Services Director.
S80 plus submarine, the only 3000 tonne AIP submarine currently under construction worldwide
Navantia's experience in ToT programs is quite ample. At present, ToT is successfully being carried-out in three countries, involving local construction of destroyers in Australia, one LHD in Turkey, and the implementation of an indigenous combat system for corvettes in Saudi Arabia developed by a Joint Venture created between Navantia and SAMI (Saudi Arabia Military Systems). Previously, Navantia was co-designer and builder of Scorpene class submarines for the Chilean and Malaysian navies, and also participated in the design and transfer of technology to India's of six Scorpene submarines being built in MDL (Mumbai), deploying a resident team in India between 2006 and 2013.
Navantia has signed MoUs with both SPs shortlisted for the P75(I) project in India: L&T and MDL. Also, contacts have been established and NDAs have been signed with more than 100 companies in India covering approximately 50 per cent of the supplies. There is still potential for nearly another 50 per cent areas where there is no Indian supplier identified. In the coming days, Navantia shall release into the market 500 purchase technical specifications at a rate of approximately 100 per month within the 5 months following the Industry Event. The event also offered the possibility of requesting one-to-one meetings, which will be conducted in the weeks following the presentation. More than 60 new requested the meeting.
Navantia consider this first Industry Event a great success and is eager to continue working with India and progress as much as possible in the P75(I) project. Once the COVID-19 situation permits, follow-up face-to-face meeting and visits to potential suppliers shall take place.
