India-ASEAN relations reached a new level of euphoria during the last week of January, 2018 when leaders from the ASEAN countries marched to New Delhi to commemorate the silver jubilee (25 years) of the India-ASEAN partnership, and witness India's republic day celebrations on January 26, 2018. For the first time in independent India's history, New Delhi celebrated its republic day ceremony with the leaders of ten ASEAN states (as opposed to normal tradition of one head of state). India's Ministry of External Affairs hailed the commemorative summit as "absolutely historic," "unprecedented," and filled with an "air of festivity." Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the commemorative summit "an unprecedented gesture of goodwill from ASEAN nations," a "historic milestone in a remarkable journey," and a "deepening partnership of great promise." The Indian and ASEAN media called the summit "the ASEAN embrace," "an epic bond," "the most significant exposition" of India's 'Act East' policy, and India and ASEAN were "lost in each other's eyes,". The year of 2017 marked 25 years of India-ASEAN relations, 15 years of summit partnership with ASEAN, and five years of strategic partnership.
The India-ASEAN commemorative summit adopted a Delhi Declaration that was conspicuous for two reasons. First, it drew international attention as India identified itself with ASEAN by reiterating a common position on the South China Sea and maritime security. The declaration asserted freedom of navigation and overflight in the region; peaceful resolution of the South China Sea dispute as per the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Seas; the full and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of the Parties in the South China Sea (DOC); and an early conclusion of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC). The declaration also underlined the willingness of India and ASEAN in strengthening cooperation in the two niche sectors of space and cybersecurity. New Delhi has already set up space telemetry, tracking, and command stations in some of the ASEAN countries, such as Indonesia.
Indian positions were largely in keeping with the country's newly-conceived role as a leading power and a net security provider in the region. India's former Foreign Secretary, S. Jaishankar, declared in Singapore in July 2015 that India was no longer a balancer, but rather a leading power. For him, it meant "shouldering greater global responsibilities" as India did in providing humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations in Yemen and Nepal. Towards the end of the same year, the Indian government unveiled a new role for India as a 'net security provider' in the region in the non-traditional security sector. These two roles are ambitious, status-consistent for India, require deployment of considerable resources and diplomacy, and carry enough diplomatic firepower for India's rising power posture in the region.
The second noteworthy aspect of the declaration was its listing of incomplete agendas and over-delayed projects. India and ASEAN had agreed at the 2015 Cybersecurity Conference to convene an India-ASEAN Cyber Dialogue at an inter-governmental level in 2016. The declaration has now set 2018 for the dialogue. Similarly, the revival of Nalanda University remains a disappointment. Though the university has begun some courses, the accommodations and medical facilities remain, at best, very basic. The rudimentary nature of the construction work on the actual site of the university indicates that it might take another decade for India to respectfully claim that it has revived the famed Nalanda University.
To showcase India-ASEAN physical connectivity, cars from India and ASEAN countries, for the third time, traversed across India, Myanmar, and Thailand. India held similar car rallies in 2004 and 2012. However, this point was proven in 2004 by the first India-ASEAN car rally, and New Delhi needs to concentrate on building the real infrastructure if it is serious about connecting with ASEAN. Notwithstanding the announcement of various ambitious projects, such as the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway, Delhi-Hanoi rail link, the Kaladan Multi-modal project in Myanmar, the only tangible outcome during the last 25 years has been India-Myanmar Friendship road. The deadlines for these projects have been frequently renewed leading to cost escalation and project stagnation. The India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway project was announced in 2003. Similarly, though some progress has been achieved on the Kaladan Multi-modal project, it is yet to be completed. These incomplete projects highlight a fundamental difference between the posture and reality and raise questions over India's ability to deliver results.
Moreover, Delhi's agendas of connecting Northeast India with Southeast Asia and 'Develop Northeast' as a part of the Look East/Act East policy remain non-starters since the Northeast itself is poorly connected. Much of the provincial and national highways in the Northeast region remain in bad shape. The border customs stations remain rudimentary and cross-border trade continues to deal with a limited and government-approved list of goods. The main obstacle lies in the security-centric mindset of the government that continues to fret over the idea of exposing the troubled region to outside commerce. Though various Thai companies had shown interest in developing various agro-business sectors in 2007-08 as a part of the convergence between India's Look East and Thailand's Look West policies, they could not make much headway beyond the signing of bilateral Memorandums of Understanding.
Ten years later, Japan has shown an active interest in assisting India in infrastructure development in India's Northeast region. India and Japan have set up an Act East Forum that would oversee infrastructure development and connectivity projects in the Northeast. Japan has agreed to extend a loan of $350 million to renovate the two critical but troubled arterial networks – national highways 40 and 54. Japan has also sent feelers regarding the potential of India-Japan collaboration in engaging in infrastructure projects in Myanmar. While these are welcome trends, they also reflect negatively on aspiring India's limited delivery capabilities.
The commemorative summit underlined growing adamancy in India and ASEAN's position on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, a framework for a free trade agreement among the 16 original members of the East Asia Summit (EAS). Though the India-ASEAN Delhi Declaration called upon the partners to 'intensify efforts in 2018 toward the swift conclusion of the RCEP, it also maintained that it should be 'mutually beneficial.' Prime Minister Modi insisted in his op-ed piece on a 'balanced and fair agreement' reiterating the Indian position for reciprocal concessions in the services sector. Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore, which is also the current ASEAN Chair, highlighted trade and connectivity — two critical roadblocks in India-ASEAN relations. India's total trade with ASEAN remains a paltry 2.6%of ASEAN's total trade.
It is overdue for India to put its money where its mouth is by delivering on its commitments. As India propels its leading power posture to the broader Indo-Pacific region, its ability to deliver is going to be continuously tested, especially by the smaller ASEAN countries. The carryover of the long-standing trademark of Indian politics – unfulfilled promises – into the foreign policy domain may end up causing self-inflicted damage to India's international standing and rising power posture.

Bent but Not Broken
A pummeled church helps bury the dead and bring life to those who remain.
By Manpreet Singh| January 14, 2005
Sister Maria Philo, wearing a green surgical mask, is busy tending to the poor, injured fisher folk who until the day after Christmas plied the shallow waters off Nagapattinam for prawn and other fish. This city of 200,000, adjacent to the again—placid Bay of Bengal, has turned into an open-air morgue.
As Sister Maria moves purposefully amid the rubble, the odor of decaying flesh and the choking smoke of pyres from mass burials and cremations prompt nausea. Christian volunteers and pastors bury all the dead. Government workers have refused to touch the badly decaying corpses. Before the bodies are disposed of, pastors take their pictures, to be used later to identify them.
Sister Maria struggles to convey how she copes. "I couldn't pray for two to three days. Now, slowly, I am beginning to accept God's will."
No Escape for Indian Believers
The tsunamis following the massive December 26 earthquake off distant Indonesia's coast hit some areas of South Asia harder than others. In southeastern Tamil Nadu state, rotten corpses continue to surface, and hundreds of people are still missing. With the death toll in India surpassing 10,000, Tamil Nadu has 7,707 dead officially, of which 6,000 were in Nagapattinam, famous for the Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Vailankanni. Locals say the true figure is much higher.
As you enter Nagapattinam in the early morning, you will see masked health workers sprinkling disinfectants from tin boxes on the roadsides. Hundreds of homeless people sit on the roads all day long.
Local Christians, many of them Catholics, did not escape the mindless fury of the tsunamis.
Eight miles away from the shrine, the 3,800-member Church of Our Lady of Lourdes lost 36 members—33 of them children. Two nuns visiting the church also died. Several more fisher-folk church members are missing. Many of the area fishermen belong to the country's despised Dalits.
About 175 children were buried in a single pit in Kanikkamatha Church, in the nearby Kolachel area. Though exact numbers are not available, Father Gomes said that 70 percent of those affected in the region are Christians. Christians constitute the majority of fishermen here.
Another 300 Christians were reported killed while attending a religious service in Tamil Nadu's Kottar area. Nagapattinam's Saint Peter's Church lost 10 of its 250 members, with three others missing.
At the Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Vailankanni, more than 800 people—there to celebrate Christmas, including 400 Christian pilgrims and many local Christian fishermen—died.

A few steps from the grisly scene on the shore, church rector P. Xavier sits in his office, recounting the horror. One floor down, hundreds of frantic people comb through 400 photos of the dead the church has displayed, hoping they will not see the face of a missing loved one.
Father Xavier struggles to keep his anger in check. "The bodies kept floating and rotting on the beach for three days, and no official came despite our repeated requests," Xavier tells CT. "The villagers had died or fled the area in fear. So we pastors and church volunteers buried 600 bodies in three days.
"Some of the corpses were so decayed that, if you tried to lift them, the limbs would come off. So we had to bury about 200 on the beach itself. We hired nine bulldozers to dig graves. … Many bodies were mutilated beyond recognition."
Shocked Christians gathered to pray and light candles for the victims' souls. Xavier notes "constant questioning" among priests and laity about how a good God can allow such a calamity. At the same time, many share tales of survival. Father A. Xavier of Our Lady of Lourdes says when a church family saw the wave sweeping ashore, members started praying. Like the angel of death in Egypt, the water passed by without entering their house, and all were spared.
One pastor says it will take time to recuperate from the shock. "The unbelievable may have happened, but we can't live in hopelessness. Christian faith should help."
"The tsunami can't shake our faith," he adds. "It has to be deepened. Nothing can take God from us. … One day the dead will rise in their glorious bodies. God is merciful."
A special prayer for the victims is being held throughout the day in the shrine. But, says the Rev. Benjamin of Saint Peter's Church in Nagapattinam, "We have no time for prayers; we have to rush to help. How can I pray when the poor fishermen in my church area are starving? Service is the best form of prayer in such times. I think we escaped to serve the people. It's God's plan."
More than 1,500 trawlers and 800 other boats of the fishing community were destroyed, taking with them the only means of income for thousands of area residents. Economic losses are just the beginning of pain for survivors.
Amul Dass, 40, is a poor Christian fisherman. Sitting stunned opposite a local church, in donated clothes, he has lost his daughter and his home. Dass is now living with 300 other families in the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes.
"I am ruined," he chokes, talking more to himself than to a reporter. "My 5-year-old daughter, Mary, is dead. My house is gone. I am lost. I don't know when I will be able to have a job and a home to take care of my wife and three children."
Arockiaraj Raphel, another fisherman, is angry with the authorities.
"The clothes I am wearing were given by the church," Raphel tells CT. "My sister's child died in the sea. I have no boat, money, or work. But I am not angry with God. God has helped me all the time in my life. God is great. It was a natural disaster, and God is not to be blamed."
'To Live as We Preach'
Elsewhere in India, early fears that the waves wiped out several unreached tribes in the Nicobar and Andaman Islands appear to be unfounded. Indian authorities discovered that one people group is alive and well when a government helicopter seeking to learn about its welfare came under arrow fire. Officials believe the Sentinelese, Onge, Shompen, Great Adamanese, and Jarawa peoples are all safe. "They have survived nature's fury," a coast-guard leader said.
In an e-mail update, Jacob Samuel of the Evangelical Social Action Forum in hard-hit Kerala state said that government and Christian agencies are trying to provide services to thousands of people living in relief camps. "We sense a great need for counseling people who have lost their loved ones or their belongings," Samuel said. "Many of them are in shock and are unable to accept what has happened."
In Sri Lanka, nearly 5 percent of the island nation's 20 million people have been displaced. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (nceasl) says the needs are overwhelming.
Based in the southern inland center of Kandy, Lanka Bible College is helping coordinate a local relief effort while directing teams to affected families and churches across the nation.
"Some church buildings and mission training centers have been damaged," staffer Mihirukshi Perera says. "Several believers have lost their children. Many believers have lost their homes and all belongings. Many of our students have gone with their local church relief teams to the affected areas." Lanka Bible College—with 450 students—is Sri Lanka's largest evangelical seminary.
The disaster has started to bring Christian and non-Christian together in Sri Lanka, where Buddhist nationalists have been attempting to restrict Christian conversions. Ajith Fernando, national director of Youth for Christ, says the organization has sent ministry teams to the east, north, and south to provide help and assess long-term needs.
Fernando said Tamil Tiger rebel leaders gave some Christian groups permission to bring supplies to the northern city of Mullaitivu, where the initial death toll estimate was 9,700.
Fernando said YFC's efforts were "a drop in the bucket" compared with the work of the nceasl, the Lanka Evangelical Alliance Development Service, and World Vision.
Fernando tells CT, "One encouraging thing is that churches and parachurch groups like YFC and Focus (InterVarsity), who have people but not much in funds, have given people to the relief agencies to do their work. This is a good sign of cooperation."
In Indonesia, where an estimated 100,000 people died, Christians met in Jakarta within days and quickly organized relief and reconstruction efforts. Selma Kurnnia, a writer for KiTa, a Christian magazine, tells CT that Christians are praying against criminals who are targeting orphans. "There are hundreds of little children who lost their family members and parents," said Kurnnia, who lives in Tangerang, West Java. "Many of them are injured. In Aceh, some bad people kidnapped some children and sold them."
Ron Vander Griend, vice president of ministry and executive director of church planting for the Bible League, tells CT the Christians of Java and southern Sumatra are well positioned with indigenous nongovernmental organizations. Vander Griend notes the presence of many strong churches in that region, with many Bible study leaders trained by the Bible League.
However, he says there were only two churches in Banda Aceh, where waves devastated the population, and both were destroyed. Persecution by militant Muslims had already driven out most of the Christians in the last several years.
Vander Griend says non-Christians in South Asia are starting to ask whether the tsunami is part of God's judgment. "It is coming up," Vander Griend says. "It also brings on a sense of mortality and raises questions about a sense of meaning."
Fernando says Christians in Sri Lanka are struggling to understand the why of the disaster. "Some are saying that this is God's judgment because Christians were persecuted," he said in an online update. "But the waves came when churches were meeting for worship on Sunday. I know that one church in the east lost all but three of those who had come for worship, and another lost all but one—the pastor who managed to cling to something. I keep hearing of more and more wonderful Christians who have died."
Back in India, Sunil Sardar, a Christian activist with Citizens for Justice and Peace, sees hope amid the calamity. "We should turn this tragedy to a blessing for the Dalit fishermen by connecting them to the church and improving their lives," Sardar tells CT. "God has given us an opportunity to serve them and improve their lot for the times to come."
At the beach in Nagapattinam, corpses continue to surface and to be burned in the sweltering afternoon heat. With sweat dripping down her face, Sister Maria continues making her rounds without complaint. Before returning to her task, Sister Maria says, "I think it's a God-sent opportunity for us to serve and try to live as we preach."

Caley leave it late to grab the three points
ICTFC Media
ICTFC 2 – 1 Raith Rovers
By Adam Sturrock
Good things come to those who wait. And it took until the 88th minute of normal time for the Caley Jags to score the winner, courtesy of a poked Daniel Mackay rebound. The three points won today puts us in a great position to make it out of the group, with an away game against second-placed Hearts of Midlothian next on the schedule, this Sunday.
Like the weather, Caley started brightly against the visiting Raith Rovers, knocking the ball around with ease. During some great build-up play around the box at the 9th minute, captain Carl Tremarco fired a cross from the left-hand side that eventually made it to Tom Walsh. With his left foot, Walsh swept it towards goal but Raith Rovers' goalkeeper managed to make a great save to stop it. Austin almost capitalised on the loose ball but it was quickly cleared away.
Five minutes later, George Oakley came closer with a shot from within the box that smacked against keeper Robbie Thomson's legs and out for a corner.
Raith Rovers were happy to sit deep and take their chances, making attacking opportunities hard to come by for the home side. The Jags had most of the ball during the first 45 minutes, but they had to wait until just after the start of the second half to go ahead.
And what a way of doing it!
At the 49th minute, a combination of Walsh to Oakley to Austin culminated in a sweetly struck shot that was caressed left-footed into the far corner from 20 yards out. Oakley received a pass from Walsh and he teed it up for his fellow striker and there was no mistaking the destination. The dam had seemed to have been broken and the frustrations seemingly put to rest.

But not for long. At the 69th minute, Caley players were scratching their heads after a short corner from Lewis Milne met the head of Grant Gillespie. The ball nestled in the net and the sides were tied once again. We were quick to test the goal after the restart and it would have been a goal if not for another save from Thomson. Nathan Austin twisted and turned just inside the right-hand side of the box and worked his way into an opening, whizzing a shot, only to be saved at the near post.
With nothing separating the sides, a switch was in order. George Oakley left the pitch for 17-year-old Daniel Mackay at the 68thminute. And eventually it was he that broke the deadlock.
Close to the dying minutes, fellow substitute Riccardo Calder tested Thomson on the edge of the box and, again, Thomson saved. But with every case of persistence, this time a Caley player was on the end of the rebound. Mackay was in the right position to tap away the ball into the open net, all but securing the three points needed.
The final result of this game means that the Jags have picked up nine points from three games and are three points ahead of Hearts, who they play on Sunday.


Mechanical grinding is used to remove various types of marking materials from asphalt and concrete surfaces. However, it is not a recommended method to remove line marking from sprayed seals or high texture asphalt. Grinding is achieved by the motorised, high speed rotation of hardened steel or tungsten carbide cutters. Pressure on the cutter head and the depth of grinding can be adjusted during the work to achieve satisfactory results.
Grinding is one of the most cost-effective methods of removing pavement markings. Grinding does not, however, always leave the pavement surface undamaged, 'Ghost lines' a term used to describe the appearance of a line that is not actually there often result as a consequence of a rough surface profile created by the grinding process. However, when used in conjunction with the subsequent application of bituminous compounds for "blacking out" the residue shadow of marking left in the pores by shallow grinding, this effect is minimised. Some of these smaller grinding units have the option to include a dust collection system, thus providing a dust free working environment.
"Blacking Out" is the phrase used to describe the practise of covering up unwanted markings with a topcoat of material similar in colour to the road surface. On bitumen roads, this usually involves the use of black paint to cover the markings no longer required, hence the term "Blacking Out".
"Blacking Out" is generally prohibited as a permanent method for the removal of line marking. For economic reasons where large or lengthy sections of line marking have been identified or for rectification due to changes in policy or standards "Blacking Out" may be warranted when timing is a critical factor to expedite traffic delineation changes.
Use of "Blacking Out" as a permanent solution to 'remove' unwanted lines has resulted in some of the following problems which have the proven potential to confuse motorists.
The blacked out area can appear to have a different colour and gloss rating than the pavement surface, particularly under different lighting and weather conditions.
On wet nights, blacked out lines may be reflected by vehicle headlights and cause motorists travelling in the opposing direction to "perceive" the blacked out lines as legitimate markings.
The blacked out area can change in both colour and gloss as traffic erodes the coating, this has been known to cause problems, especially when sunlight reflects upon the blacked out markings at sunrise and sunset.
The blacked out area will eventually wear away to reveal the original unwanted markings.
Worn, blacked out surfaces may exhibit a different skid resistance to the rest of the pavement surface; this may lead to skidding problems especially in wet weather conditions.


Magellan Development Group's 499-unit high-rise apartment tower will rise at the northwest corner of Lakeshore East.
As any weather-wise Chicagoan knows, the mantra this time of year is "cooler by the lake." Magellan Development Group may be hoping that with the anticipated arrival of the sleekly designed Coast at Lakeshore East high-rise apartment tower, the phrase becomes as much figurative as it is literal.
Bearing a nautically themed moniker like most of its seven predecessors in the 28-acre lakefront development, the stylish 45-story structure will rise at the northwest corner of Lakeshore East, directly east of the Swissotel.
Designed by the renowned architectural firm of Brininstool Kerwin and Lynch (BKL), the 499-unit apartment tower is to have as its general contractor McHugh Construction Company, builder of six other Lakeshore East buildings.
As for interiors, units in Coast will boast higher ceilings than in other Lakeshore East buildings, and common areas will be more club-like, with more open designs in the lobby, party rooms, suites and amenity areas, Carlins says.
Overall, the tower will be notable for the same high-quality design that distinguishes other Lakeshore East buildings. "A lot of renters . . . care more about architecture than we sometimes give them credit for," Carlins adds. "We learned in Aqua, which became internationally recognized for design, that once you get them in, you have to deliver the product. People want to walk in the door and be proud." Aqua mixes rental, for-sale and hotel components, he says.
Coast will offer a 272-car parking facility and 18,000 square feet of retail space. An outdoor pool, landscaped deck, fitness center, resident lounge, business center, media room, indoor spa area and other as-yet-unannounced extras will be featured in its 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities.
Like its exclusively luxury rental predecessors, The Shoreham at Lakeshore East and The Tides at Lakeshore East, Coast at Lakeshore East is expected to attract a wide variety of renters but be characterized by a younger resident demographic. "There's a slight majority of women, because of the security, the doorman and the services provided in high-rise living," Carlins says.

Bullet Hoses – What Is a Semiautomatic Assault Weapon?
What Is a Semiautomatic Assault Weapon?
Semiautomatic assault weapons are civilian versions of automatic military assault rifles (like the AK-47 and the M-16) and automatic military assault pistols (like the UZI).
Military AK-47 Assault Rifle
Civilian AK-47 Assault Rifle
These guns look the same because they are virtually identical, save for one feature: military assault rifles (like the rifle on the left above) are machine guns. A machine gun fires continuously as long as its trigger is held back—until it runs out of ammunition. Civilian assault rifles (like the gun on the right) are semi-automatic weapons. The trigger of a semiautomatic weapon must be pulled back separately for each round fired.
Because federal law has banned the sale of new machine guns to civilians since 1986,a and heavily regulates sales to civilians of older model machine guns, there is virtually no civilian market for military assault weapons. The gun industry introduced semiautomatic versions of military assault weapons in order to create and exploit new civilian markets for these deadly weapons. The next section explains why civilian semiautomatic assault weapons are no less deadly than military automatic assault weapons. In fact, they are arguably even more deadly.
